After waiting for a while, Chengpinghou was accompanied by Shen Hongcheng, followed by Shen Min, who was Chengpinghou's younger brother, the one who separated after marrying the tigress. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shen Quehuan watched the men in the family enter the ancestral hall one after another in order of rank, and she and Shen Yanjun and others stood in the gallery waiting to burn the scriptures in each room to the ancestors.

Only the wife can be present on this occasion, and the wife in the family is very clear, even if the Chen family, who has been in charge of the house for most of his life, he can't step into the ancestral hall half a step, let alone the four-room wife Li who is supported by the concubine. In addition to these two, the other ladies and wives in the house all bowed to their ancestors in the open space outside the ancestral hall, and the Lin family helped Lao Anren to kneel at the front, with a solemn and quiet face.

The ancestral hall is a different scene, although Shen Hongcheng went to the Chengping Marquis Courtyard early as in previous years to serve, but when he entered the ancestral hall, the Chengping Marquis naturally called Changru to his side, and he actually went to the incense and bowed with himself, and then the second uncle Shen Min and other juniors.

After the end of the ancestor worship, you should have dinner in the Sanqing Hall, which is the closest to the Jingtai Courtyard of the Lao'an people, and before the meal, everyone kowtows to the Lao'an people and the Chengping Hou, eats corn porridge, and drinks the sacrificial wine. The whole process was very quiet, as if any additional sound was a blasphemy against the ancestors.

Shen Quehuan completed the ceremony step by step, after the breakfast in Sanqingtang in previous years, to put a quarter of an hour of firecrackers, this year there is the mourning period of King Hui, firecrackers can not sound, the heirs of the Shen family sang a few words loudly under the steps, "The body is healthy, the blessing is long", and they went back to their respective homes, ready to deal with the family banquet at noon.

Shen Quehuan took Hongzhi and Chuwen to Qingyuntang, and Chen Nanzhi was standing in the main house watching the maid sort out Changru's new clothes, the clothes were made by Chen Nanzhi himself, and the lime-colored Confucian robe was embroidered with magpie Dengmeitu.

Shen Qihuan couldn't help but touch the lifelike magpie, "It's like the real thing." ”

Chen Nanzhi was a little embarrassed, and said shyly: "I painted according to the fan that Chen Xu gave to the master, I originally asked Chen Xu to draw a lotus, I think the lotus flower matches the noble temperament of the lord, Chen Xu said that the master is already an elegant person, it is better to draw a cheesy pattern, and drag the master into the vulgar dust." ”

Fortunately, Chen Xu didn't paint lotus flowers, which official in the Dayue Dynasty didn't embroider lotus flowers on his clothes, which means "honest", and Changru didn't come out, so why did he go to join in the fun.

"It's good to be cheesy, it's good to be cheesy. Shen Qihuan couldn't help but praise, and saw a fan on the table with the same pattern as the clothes, and said in his heart, this Chen sister and brother can be regarded as painstaking. So he asked Chen Xu, "Is he okay?"

Chen Nanzhi is always very interested when he talks about his younger brother: "Thanks to the master, he resigned from Wugentang's livelihood for Ah Xu, gave him the house in Shuijing Hutong to live in, and in order to let him take the exam with peace of mind, he also sent a small servant over." She said happily, and saw that Shen Qihuan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then realized that the young lady probably didn't know about it, and quickly explained: "Chen Xu didn't want to move in, but the master said that now that it's the New Year, it's not good for Chen Xu to live on the same street as the Dong family, and Chen Xu moved out to change his mood, so he moved in." ”

Shen Qihuan is not such a caring person, Chen Xu used to live in Xuefu Lane, and Chengping Hou's Mansion was in Meihua Lane, there are many small houses in this vicinity, why do you want to buy a house on the edge of Xicheng.

Changru reminded her: "The house was bought a few days ago, and the owner's surname is Xu, a businessman." ”

Shen Quehuan's eyes were shining, Xu, could it be related to Boss Xu of Tianxiang Building?

Changru smiled at her silently, confirming her guess. As long as the clansmen of Mr. Xu's hometown in Shuchuan write a letter and send it to the household, they can handle our title deed and house deed, but it will take three or four months to go back and forth from Shuchuan to Kyoto, Chen Xu was afraid that I would be deceived, so he asked the family to write a document and go to the government to stamp the official seal, and the silver ticket was also given to the family in front of the government. ”

"It's still Chen Xu reliable. Shen Quehuan was full of praise, and said: "When you redo the title deed, it's better to use Chen Xu's name." ”

Chen Nanzhi was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand: "How can this work, that house is more than a thousand taels, how can Chen Xu afford it." ”

Changru said amazingly: "I wrote your Aunt Chen's name, if you think it's inappropriate, you can change it to Chen Xu's." ”

Chen Nanzhi shook his head firmly, as if he couldn't breathe, and listened to Shen Quehuan again: "Don't change it, Chen Xu is so careless, don't be remembered because of this house." ”

Chen Nanzhi instinctively wanted to refute the sentence "Chen Xu didn't mess with flowers", but she felt that this was not the time to refute this sentence, she listened to the father and daughter discussing the process of buying a house, and couldn't insert half a sentence.

Hong Zhi couldn't bear to watch from the side, tugged Aunt Chen's sleeve, and whispered: "Auntie, don't see outside, the master and the young lady are not the ones who care about these things." ”

Chen Nanzhi still hangs half of his heart, since the old man came back yesterday to talk about the house, Chen Nanzhi has been going up and down, and then the old man said that the house has passed under his name, and she is stunned, more than 1,000 taels of silver into the courtyard. The third lady asked her to manage Qingyuntang's income and expenditure, and the expenses of one hundred taels per month, she was terrified, and she smashed down a house coldly, and she had to shoot her to death.

Chen Nanzhi couldn't turn that corner no matter how she thought about it, she chased Shen Que out of Qingyun Hall, and begged her sincerely: "Miss, you better let the master pass the house to others, I have a flickering ...... in such a big house."

Hongzhi and Chu Wen couldn't help laughing when they heard it, Shen Quehuan glared at them, turned his head and patiently explained Chen Nanzhi: "My father and I just came back, the people in the house are watching closely, if there is more house under our names, how many people will have to worry about it, so this house can't write my father's name, and second, I can't write my name, you think about it yourself, whose name can my father write?"

Chen Nanzhi was stunned, thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I understand, this house can't see the light, the master is borrowing my ......"

Shen Qihuan stopped her and put on an expression of "you understand", and Chen Nanzhi's eyes became even brighter.

Shen Quehuan rewarded the servants of Qingyun Hall with silver again, and then returned to the Young Cloud Pavilion, changed into a purple double skirt of calamus, put on a white fox trimmed armor of the same color, and sat on the chair in the main house to accept the bow of the maid and servant.

After kneeling down, Shen Quehuan signaled Hongzhi to give everyone a red reward, the first-class girl and Liao's mother gave ten taels of silver ingots, and the rest of the people were all six taels of silver, in addition, a few girls who performed well also got handkerchiefs, purses and sachets as rewards, Deng Feng just came, Shen Quehuan said that he went to Dongbo Mansion to do things neatly, and rewarded golden plum blossoms.

Everyone was dazed by Shen Qihuan's generous red reward, Chu Huan panicked when he came out of the main house, and seized an opportunity to seize Qiu Xu and asked: "What's the situation, aren't those handkerchief purses for the ladies of the courtyards?

Qiu Xu pinched the ten taels of silver that had just been rewarded and the handkerchief of the New Year's Plum in his hand, and thought to himself, what else could it mean that the young lady of each courtyard and the maid of the Young Cloud Pavilion had received the same gift.

But she can't make it clear like Chu Huan, if she wants to gain Shen Qihuan's trust, she can only pretend that she didn't see anything, and sometimes she has to reveal irrelevant information to Shen Qihuan, she can't give up her efforts because of such a trivial matter.
