Xue Canhua's smile froze on his face.

"That's what the fourth sister said." Xue Canhua smiled, but took a serious look at Shu Jinhua.

"Let's go see my father first, don't let his old man wait in a hurry." Shu Jinqi diverted the conversation, she didn't want to see this eldest brother-in-law from the beginning, usually the eldest sister will be in the door, and she can hide as much as she can.

The Bachelor's Mansion covers a large area, and a group of five people walked half a cup of tea before they saw the gate of Shu Yue's main courtyard. There was a middle-aged man wearing a scarf and hat standing inside the door, and when he saw the figures of several people, he trotted to the front, bowed and said, "Young ladies and young masters, the master has been waiting for a long time." After speaking, he cautiously raised his head and glanced at Shu Jinhua, "Fourth Miss, you can be regarded as back!" His voice trembled, and his eyes welled up with tears.

Shu Jinhua could feel his excitement, and knew that he was sincere, and his heart warmed, "Uncle Yan, are you okay?" ”

Shu Jinhua actually doesn't know much about the people of the bachelor's house, and even the second sister is the first time I've seen it today. But just because she doesn't know doesn't mean she doesn't understand. After three years of getting along with the early autumn and early snow, she has already understood the key people in the academy in various ways. Shu Yan is one of them, the great housekeeper of the Bachelor's Mansion and one of Shu Yue's henchmen. From being able to get the surname of the main family, it can be seen how much Shu Yue trusts him.

Shu Yan hurriedly saluted, "The old slave is in good health, and Miss Lao is worried about it." Looking at Shu Jin's eyes, there was more recognition.

Shu Yan led the way in front of him, passed through the hall, and hung the curtain in the middle twice, and he clearly saw Shu Yue sitting on the top and drinking tea.

Shu Yue has passed the age of no confusion, but his appearance is still handsome, and the years have not left any traces on him. Dressed in crescent white embroidered dark pattern straight dress, typical scribe dress.

"Master, the young masters and young ladies are here, and the aunts and grandmothers are also back." Shu Yan stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Come in." The strong and powerful baritone is Shu Yue who speaks.

Several mermaids rushed in, saluted separately, and sat on one side. Shu Jinhua was the last to step forward and knelt down respectfully, "Daughter greets her father." ”

"Get up, just come back." Shu Yue stood up and picked up Shu Jinhua with his own hands, although his tone was flat, there was a trace of joy and excitement in his eyes when he looked at Shu Jinhua.

"Thank you, father." Shu Jinhua straightened up and looked at the cheap daddy. It can be seen that the genes of the Shu family are very good, and the three brothers and sisters of Shu Jinhua are somewhat similar to Shu Yue, and Shu Jinqin should be more like Aunt Du, with a lot less heroism on Shu Yue and more coquettishness.

Shu Yue pulled Shu Jinhua to sit on the nearest chair below, and actually pulled up the homely routine. Shu Jinhua was not used to being so close for a while, most of them were asked by Shu Yue and Shu Yu'an, and she picked up some unimportant answers. On the contrary, Shu Jinqin and Xue Canhua didn't talk much.

Shu Jinhua's impression of this cheap dad is a little better.

It is said that the nobles of the family are cold-hearted, not to mention brotherhood, even their own children are just tools that can be used. But on the other hand, Shu Yue doted on her and cared for her, and her brothers and sisters got along with her casually, and the family was happy, Shu Jinhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she could feel that Shu Jinqin was a little hostile to her, and Xue Canhua looked at her differently, she planned to ignore it. After all, she is not a real mother, and she can't treat her any better, she can understand. And it seems that her father's only concubine, Du Ruyan, must not get along with her.

"Master, it's getting late, and the fourth lady is tired of traveling again, so let's have dinner first." Shu Yan led Shu Jinhua and a few people into the inner room, and he stayed outside the house, and the kitchen steward talked back and forth three times, all of which made him block back. But it was indeed dark this day, and it was past the usual time for dinner, so he had no choice but to remind the fourth lady that she was still hungry.

Shu Yue was interrupted to speak, but he was not annoyed, but laughed a few times, "Look at my memory, I only care about talking to you, and I forgot that Scarlet is still hungry." He turned to Shu Yan and said, "Tell me to set the meal." He turned around and said to Xue Canhua, "Don't rush back today, just have a meal." ”

"Yes, I listen to my father-in-law." Xue Canhua got up and saluted, "Just let Qin'er stay at home for a few days, you can accompany the fourth sister more, don't be rusty." ”

The atmosphere that seemed harmonious and warm just now became solemn in an instant, Shu Jinhua covered the corners of her mouth with her hands, and smiled without a smile, "How can you be rusty, my eldest sister and I have been together for more than ten years, and we are all a family." On the contrary, it disturbed the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law, and the eldest sister did not go home for a few days, if Mrs. Xue was to blame, it would be mine. ”

The teacup in Shu Yue's hand made a dull sound when it fell on the case, and he straightened the hem of his robe, "What Scarlet said is that Qin'er is now your Xue family, so what's the matter with always living in her mother's house?" I miss my family, so I need to move around a lot in the future. After that, he ignored Xue Canhua and walked out first.

Shu Jinhua and the three followed, and Shu Jinqin and Xue Canhua fell behind.

Xue Canhua's face was not good, and the roots of Shu Yue's ears were red, she glared at Shu Jinqin fiercely, snorted heavily, and strode out of the inner room with her sleeves thrown up.

Shu Jinqin was startled by the staring, pursed her lips, twisted the handkerchief in her hand with both hands, called softly "Husband, ......", and trotted after Xue Canhua's figure to follow.

When I came to the dining room of the main courtyard, several maidservants had already set up the meal. Shu Yue, under the service of a petite woman, was already sitting in the first place.

The woman, who was not yet forty years old, and was very small and delicate, looked much younger than she really was, and when she saw several people, they saluted each other. Shu Jinhua knew that this was Shu Yue's little wife, Du Ruyan.

Shu Jinqin saw her biological mother at this time, she was more cheerful than before, and her voice had a coquettish taste. Shu Jinqin is speechless, Shu Jinqin is now twenty years old, which is considered a complete adult in the Great Xia Dynasty, but looking at Shu Jinqin, she is still a little naïve.

The sixteen-year-old woman of the Great Xia Dynasty is considered to be a concubine, which is already the age when she can discuss marriage, and she officially gets married at the age of eighteen. Shu Jinqin got married in her twenties, which is already too late. Of course, this is according to the nobility of the family. Ordinary people, some daughters marry at the age of sixteen, after all, there are still a few women who can make a living. When you get older, don't say that there is no good family to allow, even if you are a concubine, your husband's family will dislike it.

Whenever he thinks of this, Shu Jinhua feels fortunate to be an aristocrat. After many years of modern education of late marriage and late childbearing, Shu Jinhua really couldn't stand the fact that he got married at the age of sixteen. And the status of the aristocracy can allow her to drag on for a few more years, not to mention the compromise of the arranged wedding of her parents' orders and matchmakers, at the very least, it can also give her time to find someone who is pleasing to her eyes.
