Shen Quehuan returned to the Chengping Marquis Mansion, according to the instructions of King Jing'an, the small house he had installed in the Chengping Marquis before could now be activated, Shen Quehuan asked Hongzhi to call Director Song, and added three more people to the Xiaoyun Pavilion under the pretext of the New Year's Pass, which included Deng Feng, the little maid inserted by King Jing'an, the tent mother Liao's mother, and the maidservant Chuwen.

Shen Qihuan finds a lot of things to do for himself every day, as if as long as the whole person spins like a top, there will be no Qi Linyu in his head.
On the day of the new year, the new territory of the Chengping Marquis Mansion also came out, and the families who still lived in the East Mansion began to move on a large scale, and on the new territory, the East Mansion expanded to the north and south, as if it had become the trend of the East Palace overpowering the West Palace, the North House was divided into four, the three rooms and the four rooms each accounted for a quarter, and the rest of the scattered courtyards were all changed to two courtyards, for relatives living in sojourns or guest residences.
Because of King Hui's mourning period, it is not appropriate to put up lights in the house, people change their patterns to wear plain clothes out of the magnificent momentum, even Chen Nanzhi has prepared several New Year's clothes for Changru, everyone is immersed in a jubilant atmosphere, and no one pays attention to the death of King Hui.
Shen Quehuan began to sympathize with King Hui, the disaster of the Protectorate Mansion was on the sixth day of the first month of March, it was when winter went to spring, and various rumors about this matter were also concerned and spread for a whole year, but King Hui died at the end of the year, after the New Year, Vientiane was renewed, and no one would remember such a case.
There may be those who can remember, such as Shen He, because of King Hui's mourning, his marriage with Chen Peixin is going to be postponed.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the third lady Lu took Shen Lige to the young cloud pavilion to visit the door, Lu wore a new blue skirt, and the skirt was embroidered with a large wooden hibiscus of the same color, which was a popular relief embroidery in Jiangnan, but it was more temperamental than when I first saw her. Shen Lige was dressed in a royal blue hundred-layer skirt, following behind her mother, but it was not very eye-catching.
"I was afraid that your face didn't bother you, but it's almost the New Year, and your sister embroidered a purse for you, and I came over to take a look. Lu sat on the couch and said with a smile while taking the tea handed by the maid.
Shen Lige took out an emerald green purse and came out, looking very uncomfortable: "It took a lot of experience to embroider the third sister before, but the embroidery base was red, so I hurriedly embroidered it again for my sister." ”
During the mourning period of King Hui, they can be regarded as King Hui's cousins, and not being red is the least respect for the deceased. In normal times, this kind of needle and thread brain thing naturally does not need to be prepared by them personally, but King Hui had such an accident, and the embroidery workshop mother was already caught off guard just by redoing the New Year's clothes of each courtyard, and they were not easy to ask the people of the embroidery workshop to help make these small things.
Shen Qihuan took the purse, deliberately turned it over and looked at it, and saw Shen Lige's uncomfortable appearance in the afterglow, she didn't say much, put the purse into Qiu Xu's hand, and said, "I'm short of a little thing of this color, put it on hold." ”
Shen Lige's face burned even more. Seeing that Shen Qihuan was a temporary uprising, he couldn't come up with anything better in a hurry. Thinking of this, she couldn't help biting her lip, blaming her mother, and she had to drag herself to make a small volt for others.
The three of them were served by the maids to talk about family life, Shen Qihuan said less and listened more, and in the past in terms of etiquette, he also dealt with a few words from time to time, and the scene was quite harmonious.
It's just that the eyes of the third lady always fall on Qiu Xu, intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen Que was stunned and said to Qiu Xu: "You go to the dining room to inform me, tomorrow my father and I will go to Anshan to sweep my mother's grave, and let the dining room get up early to prepare sacrifices." ”
Qiu Xu left in response, and Lu couldn't help but wonder, didn't her mother die in the country? How could she go to the suburbs of the city to pay respects? If you want to pay respects, you have to go to Zonghua Temple and Daye Mountain?
"When my mother died, I left a last wish for my father to burn her bones to ashes, and my father scattered some of them whenever he went to a beautiful place, as if he had been with his mother. ”
Shen Qihuan said lightly, and the faces of the Lu family and Shen Lige all changed, this ...... Isn't this a frustration?
Shen Qihuan was too lazy to look at their expressions, and sucked the tea carelessly, "The third wife came to find Qihuan, is there something wrong?"
The third master served as the governor of Luxian County, and the Lu family did not have a decree title, Shen Qihuan did not have to call the Lu family "Third Lady", just called "Third Wife" or "Third Aunt", but Shen Quehuan did not call the third aunt but called the more distant "Third Wife", which still made Lu feel uncomfortable.
But when she came to Shen Qihuan, she did have something serious.
"You also know that your second brother Yuda passed the township examination this autumn, and he will be in the spring after the New Year, he heard that the second master was admitted to Huiyuan that year, so he thought of asking the second master to give him some pointers. ”
The eldest son of the third room of the Chengping Hou Mansion, Shen Qin's reputation, he took the seventh place in the township examination for the first time this year, compared to Shen He, who only took the twelfth place in the two exams this year, it can be regarded as earning enough face for the third room.
"That's a good thing. Shen Que smiled calmly, but unexpectedly did not refuse.
Lu was also very surprised, and hurriedly thanked: "Then bother your nephew and daughter to help your second brother talk about it, your father is famous, I heard that the little prince of the Qingping Hou Mansion begged your grandfather to worship the second master's name, but the second master refused." ”
Shen Qihuan also heard about this, and she couldn't help laughing: "That's how easy it is." ”
"Yes, it's my nephew after all. The Lu family laughed with relief, Shen Lige didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, and thought that the second room was going to take Qiao's price.
It's just that Shen Qihuan took a sip of tea and said, "It's a coincidence, my father has been helping Aunt Chen's brother guide his homework recently, and the second brother happens to be with them." ”
Lu and Shen Lige couldn't help but exchange glances, and Lu asked, "Isn't Aunt Chen's brother the Xixi of Wugentang?
"I don't know. Shen Qihuan said disapprerovantly, "I only listened to what my father said about recommending Hanlin to recommend bachelors, and I didn't ask too much." ”
Lu was shocked: "Hanlin, bachelor, second master is really willing to help Aunt Chen's brother recommend?"
Shen Quehuan looked at them very surprised, and said with a smile: "I really don't care about these things, why don't I call Aunt Chen over and ask her yourself." ”
"Forget it. Lu sneered, after all, it was a concubine, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, let her go to the light of an aunt, she didn't have so much determination. "It's better for our back house to be less involved in the affairs of the front hall, let your second brother go directly to the second master tomorrow." ”
Shen Qihuan didn't force it, and when the Lu family left, Hong Zhi asked: "Miss, if Uncle Qin of the third room passes the exam this time, will it make the big room think that the second room is stirring up the relationship between their brothers?"
"That's a case, maybe the third lady came to the west this time at the behest of the old lady, what is the face, didn't the old man say that he wanted to re-elect the clan? ”
Hongzhi didn't understand anymore: "Then why does the third wife want to taboo the autumn catkins?"
She probably thought that Qiu Xu was the person of the Great Lady. ”
Hongzhi grabbed the key words in Shen Quehuan's words: "Think, Miss said, 'Think?', isn't Qiu Xu the eldest lady's person?"
Qiu Xu had been working in the eldest lady's courtyard before, and she always thought that Qiu Xu was sent by the eldest lady.
Shen Que shook his head with a smile, "If you want to think about the problem, how can you only turn a corner, and even you can find out the identity, what kind of cat is it." ”
Hongzhi stroked her forehead and lamented: "Amitabha, fortunately, Miss is smart, and she doesn't need my elm head." ”
