Chapter 7 The Xue Family

By the time Mama Zheng brought the breakfast back, Shen Jiayan had already played with Zhu'er affectionately, and Mama Zheng couldn't help but laugh when she saw it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

She coughed lightly and said, "Miss, it's time for breakfast." Shen Jiayan was tempted by the food, abandoned the newly recognized little sister, sat down on the peach stool happily, and looked at the hearty breakfast.

Shen Jiayan looked like she didn't know where to start, so Mama had to introduce it intimately, "This is a jujube paste sesame cake, which is made of black jujube paste with pine nuts and fine sugar, and you can see that there are sesame seeds on it; This is a five-color cake dough, which is made of five kinds of roses, sesame seeds, pine flowers, mint and osmanthus flowers; And this is osmanthus sugar porridge..."

Listening to Mama Zheng's introduction, Shen Jiayan was about to bubble with happiness: the sugar-coated cannonballs of ancient capitalism are coming too violently, and I can't hold up the rebellion.

After having breakfast so happily, Shen Jiayan and his party set off to greet Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen.

As soon as I entered the "Yiyang Hall", I heard my grandmother's call: "Ah Yan, come quickly, come to grandmother." ”

The old lady looked at Shen Jiayan lovingly, as if nothing had happened yesterday, and Shen Jiayan was still the lovely and polite granddaughter in her heart.

Although Shen Jiayan was a little strange, he didn't shirk it, and he snuggled into the arms of the old lady and coquettishly, the old lady Shen and Shen Qian were not in the hall, but on the chairs on both sides of the hall sat an unknown lady, dressed in a bright dress, hairpin, and said with a smile: "This is Miss Sun, she is really handsome." ”

Hearing her talk about herself, Shen Jiayan secretly poked her head out of the old lady's arms to look at her.

The old lady smiled, hugged Shen Jiayan and said, "This is the second wife of the Xue family, you still have to call her cousin according to your generation." After that, he pointed to Ah Yan again: "Old family, the name of the girl, I just came back from Beijing yesterday." ”

Shen Jiayan also began to have eyesight this time, and when the old lady finished speaking, she shouted sweetly, "Second cousin." Second Mrs. Xue responded with a smile, and the atmosphere in the hall was harmonious.

After complimenting each other a few words, Second Mrs. Xue expressed her intentions: "It is said that the second son of Shen has also reached the age of marriage, I don't know if you have chosen a good family?" ”

"Not yet," Mrs. Tai said with a smile: "Your Xue family is well-connected, and I still look forward to you helping me introduce you." ”

"This is a coincidence," Second Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "There is a sister in my mother's family, and she is also one of the best in terms of virtue and strength, and she has been looking at others recently." ”

Shen Jiayan observed pimping for the first time on the spot, ah, it's to say kiss, it's also exciting, ancient people are also very arrogant, and it's not ashamed to praise her sister like this, she thought to herself.

Old Madam Shen didn't respond immediately, and played Tai Chi with a grin: "You also know the character of my family, how can I be his master directly, and this marriage is a lifelong event after all, so you can't be in a hurry." ”

Second Mrs. Xue saw that Mrs. Shen avoided speaking, and also diverted the topic with interest, just grabbing Jiayan and caring: "How old is Jiayan now?" ”

"7 years old." Shen Jiayan returned crisply.

Second Mrs. Xue's mind moved, and she turned her head to look for the old lady and said, "Old lady, you can find a good girl to teach, if you don't have it, it is better to come to the Xue family to study with my family." ”

The old lady was also a little moved when she heard this: The Xue family's female studies are really good, and if she goes there to follow those ladies, Ah Yan can also learn from their style. After thinking about it so carefully, I felt that there was no better place to go than the Xue family's female school, so I readily agreed to the proposal of the second lady Xue.

Seeing that the old lady agreed, Second Mrs. Xue mentioned her sister-in-law again: "Although it is not my own sister-in-law, it is my aunt's daughter, the daughter of the Lin family in Yangzhou, not that I boast, my sister-in-law is one of the best in the entire Yangzhou City." ”

After receiving the benefits of others, Old Madam Shen was no longer perfunctory to Second Madam Xue, so she had to say: "We can't make decisions about the marriage of our children, and they have to like it themselves, otherwise, let's find a time..."

"That's really good, when I go back to arrange Sister Yan'er's affairs, and then send someone to inform you, it's only a few days." Second Mrs. Xue should arrive happily.

Shen Jiayan was a little confused, and he was going to go to primary school again? And this opportunity to go to elementary school was obtained by selling my brother for glory. Isn't Shen Gongzi, who is not married in this mansion, the main brother Shen Qian, but this generation is a bit messy, my cousin's sister is married to a nephew? Probably not. In the moment when Shen Jiayan was so cranky, Second Mrs. Xue saw that the matter was done, and after a few compliments, she was about to leave and go home.

Mrs. Shen smiled and asked Mama Liu to send her out, and when people walked out of sight, she took Shen Jiayan out of her arms, and said seriously: "The Xue family's female school is excellent, and I invited the famous Sun Teacher in Suzhou City to teach the behavior of the ladies to learn, now you go in don't make trouble, remember to learn from those ladies in it, don't let others see jokes like a monkey." ”

Shen Jiayan was reprimanded for such a split head and face, and he didn't dare to ask which young master Shen was, so he had to nod obediently, which was exchanged for a satisfied smile from the old lady.

If you want to say that you go to school, the happiest person is Mama Zheng: I have long heard the reputation of the Xue family's girls' school in Suzhou, and I heard that the Xue family's girls are known to be virtuous, their words and deeds are all appropriate, and they are better than the other, and even the words "marry a wife and take the Xue family's daughter", if the young lady also goes to the Xue family's daughter's school, she will be able to have a good home.

Therefore, when the old lady proposed to point out another nurturing grandmother to Shen Jiayan and ask her opinion, Mama Zheng did not resist at all, but quickly thanked: "The old lady has a fist for the young lady, what can we think about being a slave besides being happy." ”

Old Madam Shen didn't seem to be faking the joy on her face, and directly ordered someone to bring the Zhou family up.

Compared with Mama Zheng's pungency, Zhou's is stable and solemn, her clothes are simple and neat, and even her hair is meticulously combed.

After Zhou greeted the old lady and Shen Jiayan, he stood aside respectfully, and this demeanor made Shen Jiayan's heart even more chilly.

Good guy, a talkative Mama Zheng is not enough, and now she has sent a Buddha-like Mama Zhou, others are here for vacation, and they are really in prison when they cross.

"This Zhou's mother-in-law used to be your father's nurse," Mrs. Shen recalled the old time and sighed: "The manpower you brought back from Jingshi is too small, and Mama Zheng can't take care of it alone, and Mama Zhou can also help share the burden in the future." ”

"I have enough people," Shen Jiayan didn't want to call someone to control herself, and muttered softly with some complaints, but she couldn't stand Mama Zheng behind her tugging on her sleeve, and she could only cheer up and return: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Shen Jiayan with such a well-behaved appearance, as if she was still a little girl who relied on her before, and her heart softened, and she stroked Shen Jiayan's hair and said, "Grandmother, this is all for your good." Shen Jiayan pursed his lips, "For your good" is really a coaxing artifact handed down from ancient times.
