Chapter 5: The Gathering of Songhetang

Although Jinzhou was not far from entering the city, the group also traveled for a day and a half, and it was already noon on the second day when they arrived at Shen Mansion.

The eldest uncle, Shen Wensong, waited at the door early, and when he saw the carriage stopped at the door, he greeted him.

In her previous life, she was unforgettable for this general's mansion. In this deep gate compound, her parents died, her brother was broken in front of this high wall and tile, and she was tied up by the blood relatives who lived in this courtyard, and sent to others for practice, just such a place, but she regarded it as a home in her previous life.

Although she had a lot of temper at the beginning that Shen Wenshan wanted to return to the Shen Mansion, and later saw that the Fang family had no face for the Su family in public, she was still very gentle to her. Under the encouragement of others, he also did his filial piety in front of the Fang family. Just for that sentence: "The old lady loves the third lady so much, if the third lady is favored by the old lady, the old lady will look at the third lady's face and treat the second lady." ”

But in the end, she couldn't cover the Fang family's heart that was blackened by interests.

pinched the arm hidden in the sleeve hard, which made his mind clearer, and Mama Cao's voice came from outside the carriage: "Third Miss, it's here, Madame, please get out of the car." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yuxiao answered, and got out of the carriage with Shui Hua's support.

The carriage stopped in front of the hanging flower gate of the second gate of the Shen Mansion, and the Liu family stood in front of the door with the maid and the maid, watched the Su family and Shen Yuxiao get out of the car, and hurriedly greeted them: "Second brother and sister." ”

The Liu family is a modest character, and he has never been liked by the Fang family, so that he is very compatible with the Su family, who was born in a scholarly family. When the Su family first married into the door and ate the Fang family's head, the Liu family helped her around, so when she saw that it was the Liu family who came to greet her, the Su family was also very happy, and hurriedly pulled Shen Yuxiao's hand forward: "Sister-in-law, these years have been good."

As soon as the words came out, Su Shi realized that something was wrong, and looked at Liu's face with a slightly bitter face, and he didn't know what to say at the moment. Yes, can you have a better life with the Fang clan?

Seeing that the Su family and the Liu family looked embarrassed, Shen Yuxiao smiled and leaned in: "Big aunt." ”

Hearing this, the Liu family couldn't help but look at Shen Yuxiao, who was snuggled up to the Su family, and laughed: "Xiao'er has grown taller again, and the white one is like a snow ball, and the eldest aunt doesn't recognize it." ”

Shen Yuxiao saluted the Liu family, and the Su family also packed up the love and asked Shen Jinxi to come over and see the Liu family. When Shen Wenshan and Shen Wensong's brothers came over, they entered the Songhe Courtyard together.

Since the Fang family gave birth to the eldest son of the Liu family, they moved out of the main courtyard and lived in Songhe Courtyard. The Su family came back with their children, and the whole family was waiting in the main room of Songhe Courtyard.

As soon as Shen Yuxiao entered the door, she saw that except for the Ma family in the third room, who took the children back to her parents' house, the rest were in the house. However, she only glanced at it, and then knelt down towards the Fang clan step by step behind the Su clan.

"Son, daughter-in-law, say hello to my mother."

"Grandson, granddaughter kowtowed to grandmother."

Fang Clan glanced lightly and knelt on the ground Shen Wenshan's family, fortunately, he didn't give any face this time, but after a brief pause, he finally let them get up.

Shen Yuxiao immediately stood next to Shen Yuanxiang, the eldest daughter of the big house.

Wait for Shen Wenshan and Su Shi to meet Shen Wensong and Shen Wenhan. It was the younger generation who greeted Shen Wenshan and his wife, and after a circle, they got the reward prepared by the Su family, and it was their younger generation's turn to greet each other.

Originally, Shen Wenshan was a generation of them, three brothers, two sisters and one sister-in-law married to Ping Enbofu, and the sister-in-law married Shen Yue's deputy general, the current governor of Guangzhou.

Now there are only these three people living in this courtyard.

The Liu family of Dafang gave birth to a son and a daughter, namely Shen Jinhua and Shen Yuanxiang, and another concubine Shen Jinmao and concubine Shen Yufang. The three rooms are all from the grandmother, but Ma's luck is not good, he gave birth to two daughters in a row, and he finally got pregnant after a few years, but he slipped the fetus. This time, I finally gave birth to a son, Shen Jingui, who is really a baby, like eyeballs.

Shen Yuxiao took a look, the people in the third room were not there, and Shen Yuanxiang stood at the bottom, and when he saw Shen Yuxiao looking over, he couldn't help but smile slightly. The temperament is ten out of ten like the Liu family, not like the girl of the Shen family who is careful and thoughtful, but like the girl who came out of the Liu family in Wuzhou. It's no wonder that Shen Yue thought that Shen Wensong wanted to marry the Liu family, and he couldn't fault it from the point of upbringing alone.

And Shen Yufang, the concubine of the big house, sat under the Fang family, pinching her legs, and her eyes rarely fell on Shen Yuanxiang, which was also full of provocation.

Looking at Fang's attitude again, I heard that Shen Yufang's biological mother, Aunt Gu, was originally the eldest maid by Fang's side. Originally, Fang's wanted to marry the eldest son was the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong, but Shen Yue directly set Liu's family, although Liu's family was born in a scholarly family, but Liu's father had already dismissed and returned to his hometown, even if he was still a literati leader, but in Fang's eyes, he was naturally not as good as Wei Guogong, who had a title, so he looked at Liu's everywhere unpleasantly.

If the Liu family is a pungent temperament, the Fang family has a way to clean her up, but the Liu family has an excellent temperament, and everyone shows their demeanor everywhere, and the Fang family let the Liu family set rules for a while. The Liu family also had no complaints, but the more the Fang family looked at it, the more uncomfortable they became, and later when the Liu family was pregnant with Shen Yuanxiang, they stuffed the big girl beside him into the Liu family's room. In the end, she only gave birth to a daughter, and it was the maid next to the Liu family who gave birth to Shen Jinmao and carried her aunt, and the courtyard of the big house became tighter. The Fang family couldn't carry Aunt Gu to show Liu's face every day, Shen Wensong was a person who understood, and he couldn't say anything when he saw his own mother raising Aunt Gu everywhere to practice the Liu family, so he pitied the Liu family even more, and the relationship between the husband and wife in the middle of the more than 20 years was getting better and better.

Seeing that Shen Yuxiao had met Shen Yuanxiang and gave a purse for a magpie to climb the branch, he waved his hand at Shen Yufang: "Yufang, I went to see your third sister, and Shuangshuang also went." ”

Hearing Fang's opening, Shen Yuxiao saw that there was a woman about the same age as Shen Yuanxiang standing beside Fang's side, with a beautiful and graceful appearance, like a hibiscus out of the water, standing there quietly, not eye-catching, but people only felt comfortable at a glance.

Seeing that she answered yes, she walked over, and her eyes were intentionally or unintentionally biased towards the Shen Jinxi brothers on the other side. The smile on Shen Yuxiao's face remained unchanged, and she took the purse that Shui Hua handed over and gave them one with a smile and a smile.

This Fang Shuangshuang is the niece and granddaughter of the Fang family, when Shen Yuxiao first saw her in her previous life, she felt that she was the best person in the Shen family except for Shen Yuanxiang, generous and gentle. But now she doesn't think so, in her previous life, the Fang family originally wanted to give Fang Shuangshuang to Shen Jinhua as a wife.

However, the Liu family stared closely, afraid that Fang Shuangshuang would enter Shen Jinhua's courtyard, and Fang Shuangshuang was an arrogant character, so he was naturally unwilling to be Shen Jinhua's wife. Later, when Liu's body was uncomfortable, he climbed into Shen Wensong's bed.

At that time, everyone said that Fang Shuangshuang was desperate, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that Fang Shuangshuang herself never thought of being Shen Jinhua's wife, although the age difference is a lot, but one is a white body without a title, and the other is a third-grade master. Thinking of Fang Shuangshuang's stepmother, it is not difficult to understand, Fang Shuangshuang's stepmother married his father in the twenty-eighth year, although she was criticized at the beginning, now she is not the upright lady of the Fang family, as long as the identity is there, who dares to say anything.

Looking at Fang Shuangshuang's eyes now, I am afraid that every qiē is for Fang Shi's to see, and Shen Yuxiao can't help but feel funny, this Fang Shuangshuang's mind is really ruthless, I can't be your main room, I will be your stepmother.

Of course, Shen Yuxiao just thought about it in her heart, and stood aside after handing the purse to Shen Yufang and Fang Shuangshuang. Fang Shuangshuang took the purse and returned to Fang's back, and when it was Shen Yufang, she reached out and opened the purse.

It is very rude to open a gift in front of others, even the Shangjia family understands this truth, not to mention the Shen family, an official family.

Shen Yufang dared to do this because of the support of the Fang family, in addition to demonstrating to the second room, but also stepping on the face of the big house, she is the concubine of the big house, so she is the second room, and it is really to kill three birds with one stone if there is a gap between the second room and the big room.

However, the Fang clan is afraid that she will be disappointed, no matter how well the Su clan knows the temper of the Liu clan, she is not stupid, Shen Yufang crawled out of whose belly it is, it is not obvious.

Sure enough, I saw that the Liu family was looking at the Su family very crampedly, but the Su family smiled back, I am afraid that it will only make the relationship between the big house and the second room better.

Speaking of this, the Fang clan was actually very contradictory, thinking that Shen Wenshan could help Shen Wensong in his career, but he also looked down on his identity as a concubine, so he didn't like the Liu clan and the Su clan getting close in the backyard.

Shen Yufang smiled innocently as she poured out the contents of her purse. It is a pair of lily-shaped jade pressure skirts.

took it in her hand and took a closer look at it, as if she was not satisfied, she reached out and grabbed Shen Yuanxiang's purse standing next to her, Shen Yuanxiang frowned and looked at it, and she didn't want to take it back, which had been poured out by Shen Yufang, it was a pair of hibiscus jade pressed skirts.

After reading it, looking at Shen Yuanxiang's face full of anger, Shen Yufang took the jade press skirt back very casually and threw it to Shen Yuanxiang.

"It's not a rare thing, but the big sister looks at it closely, as if she has never seen it. It's not comparable to the things in Jingli Linglongfang, and it's like being looked at by the eldest sister. ”

Hearing this, Liu's face also changed, but he saw that Fang's raised his eyelids and glanced at her and Su's, the meaning was clear, and Liu's head suddenly became angry.

Shen Yuanxiang was so angry that Shen Yufang said this, and he forgot Liu's precepts: "What the third sister sent, no matter what it is, is the sister's heart, how can the fourth sister say that." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yufang put on an innocent and ignorant look: "It is said that the second uncle is a good place in Yuezhou, so thinking that the things given by the third sister are naturally no worse than the second sister, Fang'er is just curious." ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone's faces changed this time, and Shen Wensong was even more embarrassed, eager to drag Shen Yufang back.

You must know that Shen Wenhan is a businessman, so the three rooms have always been generous, and Shen Wenshan is a courtier, in the former Tang Dynasty, agriculture, industry, business, and business are the last. It cannot be compared with officials.

Moreover, Yuezhou, where Shen Wenshan served, was a barren land, although Shen Wenshan was transferred to Yuezhou, which was the emperor's intention to test him, but in the eyes of outsiders, Yuezhou has always been a place where officials have always been degraded.

Shen Yufang's words offended all the two and three rooms.
