Regardless of whether the old lady is really as deep as the brother and sister guessed, in short, for the old lady, the brother and sister are afraid.

Dinner was served together in the dining room, although the Shen family was down, but there were not many people in the family, the men sat at one table, and the women sat at two tables before they could sit down.

Today's dinner is also extremely rich, chicken, duck and fish, there is no shortage of everything, even the bird's nest porridge and roasted abalone that have not been eaten for a long time are also on the table, so that the eyes of the children of the Shen family who have not yet married are eager to stick to these foods.

However, there were also people who quietly observed Shen Niannian, the newly returned eldest lady, knowing that she was from the countryside, a trace of contempt flashed in Feng's eyes in the fourth room, but with a gentle smile on his face, he used chopsticks to clip a small abalone for her and said, "Sister Nian'er estimates that she hasn't eaten abalone since she was so old, right?" This thing is a good thing, come and try it, ordinary people can't eat it! ”

Shen Niannian couldn't hear that Feng Shi was really sarcastic about himself, but he didn't take this little thing to heart, he just hooked his lips and smiled, "Thank you, Fourth Aunt, I really haven't eaten these good things, I have to taste them today." ”

Saying that, Shen Niannian ignored the surprised eyes of the others at the table, stretched out her chopsticks with a smile, and took most of the dishes containing abalone and left, seeing everyone staring at her, her eyes seemed to be able to light a fire, and she pretended to smile shyly, "I'm just a girl from the countryside, I haven't eaten anything good, aunts and sisters-in-law shouldn't worry about me as a vulgar person, right?" ”

As she spoke, she put the remaining small half of the abalone into Lin's bowl with chopsticks. "Sister-in-law, look at you so thin, but you have to eat more, the fourth aunt said that this is a good thing, you can eat more!"

Lin looked at the dishes in the bowl, stunned, and then looked at Shen Niannian obviously deliberately said it to the fourth aunt, the fourth aunt's face sank, and she hurriedly lowered her head, so that the smile on her face did not let people look at it.

This is just the beginning of eating, and a precious dish on this table was divided by Shen Niannian, and the other women who hadn't eaten abalone for a long time glared at Feng Shi hatefully!

Call you a proud fart! Now that's good. Just a plate of abalone. It's gone in the blink of an eye!

Feng didn't expect that Shen Niannian's face would be so thick, and she didn't feel ashamed to say that, and she was so bold to directly divide her abalone. I immediately wanted to have a seizure. was secretly stopped by her daughter Shen Ningyu.

"Mother. Sister Nian hasn't eaten these, so let her eat more, she has suffered outside for so many years. My daughter also feels sorry for my sister. Shen Ningyu said softly, looking at Shen Niannian's gaze with pity.

Shen Niannian didn't like this seventh sister who always pretended to be weak before, and now she naturally disdains it, thinking that a soft and weak voice can give people a good impression, and after a few years, this seventh sister is still so stupid.

Not counting such a small episode, this meal is also eaten by the Shen family with relish, looking at the appearance of these women protecting food, Shen Niannian saw it in his eyes, and secretly sighed, it is really not as good as before, back then, these women only cared about maintaining their figure, where would they care about eating?

After dinner, Shen Niannian went back to the small building with the Lin family.

Xiangyue and Vanilla had already made the bed, put the soup woman, and made it warm, and when they saw her coming back, they hurriedly greeted her, "Girl, you can rest first, the slave has already brought you hot water." ”

Shen Niannian yawned, looked at the two of them and asked, "Have you had dinner?" ”

Vanilla nodded and replied respectfully, "Rest assured, girl, the slaves have already had dinner." ”

Shen Niannian sighed lightly, "Life at home is not easy now, there will be disputes when there are more people, in the final analysis, it is because there is no silver that it will become so calculating, don't be angry." ”

The reason why she said this was because when she went to dinner today, she wanted to bring the two maids over, but she was stopped by the fourth aunt, and the meals of the people in the Shen Mansion were all rationed, and they were not allowed to eat the food of the Shen family under the pretext that they were not prepared for Xiangyue and Vanilla.

At that time, Shen Niannian felt that the fourth aunt was really getting more and more stingy, and in front of outsiders, she also behaved so stingy, and she thought that the Shen family was not down-and-out now, but now she was also a newcomer, and she didn't want to get too stiff with the people in the family, so she had to give Xiangyue and the two a few taels of silver, and let them go outside to have a meal.

"Girl, what are you talking about? The slave and maid are the maids pointed out to you by the prince, and they are here to serve you, not to enjoy the blessings, so how can the slaves and maids be angry? Xiangyue opened her mouth with a smile, and then took out a purse and handed it to her, "The prince has long known that the situation of the Shen family is not very good now, so he also prepared a silver tael for the girl, just in case of emergency, please accept it." ”

Shen Niannian was stunned, took the silver ticket, looked at the denomination, it was as much as 10,000 taels, and was immediately startled, and hurriedly wanted to return it, "This is not good, my food and clothing, I can't ask for so much silver, you want to send all this silver back to the prince, I can't ask for it." ”

"Girl, the slave knows what she is thinking, but these silver taels are a piece of the prince's heart for you, if you refuse like this, how sad the prince should be!" Xiangyue pursed her lips and refused to take back those silver tickets, but persuaded her, "It is precisely because the prince is afraid that you will suffer here, so he will send two slaves and maids to serve you, these silver taels are the prince's personal instructions to the slaves and maids must let you accept them, otherwise you will punish the slaves and maids heavily, girl, you will be kind and help the slaves and maids, just accept these silver tickets, and save the slaves and maids." ”

As she spoke, Xiangyue began to wipe away her tears while looking at her secretly.

Shen Niannian was dumbfounded by this girl's sharp teeth, where did she not know what her idea was? couldn't help but glared at her a few times with amusement, "Okay, your eyes are still dry, what are you pretending to be?" ”

Xiangyue stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Girl, just accept it, you and the prince will also be a family in the future, isn't the prince's equivalent to your own?" ”

Shen Niannian heard this. didn't say anything, just put away the silver ticket, and planned to return it to him when he saw Yi Qinglan next time.

She still has a few hundred taels of silver in her hand now, but she hasn't touched a penny of the money from selling the paintings, so she can save a little and use it for a long time.

It was getting late, and Shen Niannian was really tired, so he yawned, took off his clothes and went to bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Xiangyue and Vanilla saw that she was sleeping peacefully. looked at each other and smiled, and lightly blew the oil lamp. I went to sleep in the ear room.

Early the next morning, Shen Niannian was woken up by the noise of the market outside, and went to the window in a daze with his clothes draped and opened a small gap. That's when I noticed. It turned out that one side of their small building was close to the courtyard wall. Outside the courtyard wall is the street near the city, so it's no wonder it's so noisy early in the morning.

With a light sigh, Shen Niannian closed the window. I didn't see Xiangyue Vanilla come in, and I guessed that they were very tired from rushing yesterday, so I didn't call the two of them, but found a slightly plain dress to change into, and then opened the door.

There was a child's crying sound outside the door, which immediately attracted her attention, Shen Niannian looked towards the opposite door, blinked, and it didn't take long to see that the opposite door was opened, and her sister-in-law was holding a child more than a year old and coaxing softly, with a tired look between her eyebrows and eyes, it seemed that she didn't sleep well last night.

"Sister-in-law, is this Xiao Yi'er?" Shen Niannian took the initiative to step forward to say hello, and looked curiously at the little guy in Lin's arms.

I saw that the little guy was white and chubby, and his skin was also white and red, tender and tender, and he looked extremely cute, and after just a glance, she fell in love with this little nephew who had never met.

"But no, this little guy woke up last night, and he made a fuss all night, but he tired me to death." Lin said with a smile, although he complained, but for his son, which mother wouldn't like it?

The little guy didn't make a fuss when he saw the living, and with a pair of black jewel-like eyes, he looked at her curiously, and suddenly giggled.

Seeing this, Shen Niannian exclaimed in surprise, "Sister-in-law, look, this little guy is smiling at me!" ”

"Xiao Yi'er, this likes the eldest aunt." Lin also laughed, and affectionately took a sip on the little guy's tender cheeks.

Shen Niannian looked at it, if it hadn't happened in the Yun family, she should have her own child now, seeing the little guy so cute at this time, she loved it even more, and couldn't help rubbing her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, let me hug him." ”

Lin was not stingy, so he handed the little guy to her carefully.

Shen Niannian had never held such a young child, and his body was extremely stiff for a while, for fear that he would fall on him.

Lin chuckled, "Don't be nervous, relax, he will be comfortable holding him like this." ”

As she spoke, she helped Shen Niannian adjust her posture.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yi'er is also very well-behaved at this time, and she is not afraid of people, but she is very curious because of Shen Niannian's caution, a pair of pure eyes are turning around, and she is giggling again, and her fleshy little hands are still tightly grasping her chest.

Shen Niannian saw that the child was so innocent and cute, and his heart became extraordinarily soft.

"Little ......"

Shen Niannian hugged him for a while, and finally got a little look, learning from the Lin family before, and coaxing the little guy lightly.

The little guy also giggled face-savingly, which made her happier and happier.

Breakfast was eaten in Lin's house, eldest brother Shen Mingcheng went out early in the morning, and he didn't know what to do, and his father also went to the mansion, so she was in this building at this time, and Lin also had his stepmother Zhang, and three little radish heads.

The eldest nephew, Shen Heyu, is almost five years old this year, and he has been educated very well by his eldest brother and the Lin family, and he is also very polite to others.

I haven't seen the little guy for a few years, and he has long forgotten what his aunt looks like, and when he saw Shen Niannian, he was just curious, and after obediently calling someone, he stood beside the Lin family, looking at Xiao Yi'er in the cradle, so as not to cry his younger brother.

And her niece Shen Qianling is almost three years old this year, which is the age when she likes to run and jump.

Shen Qianling's temperament is very lively, clever and cute, and she has a sweet mouth, even if it is the first time to see her aunt, the little girl is also very intimate, and there is no strangeness.

The three nephews, Shen Niannian, all prepared small gifts, knowing that the second room was the most short of money now, so he was very generous and filled the three little guys with fifty taels of silver tickets in their purses.

The Lin family didn't think there was anything valuable in that purse, after all, her new sister-in-law was said to have been raised in the countryside, and she would have to rely on the Shen family to live in the future, so what valuable things could she give to the little guys? Therefore, Lin didn't open his purse to look at it, but just accepted it with a smile and received it.

On this day, it was a peaceful and stable life.

Shen Niannian learned a lot of news about the Shen family from the Lin family.

For example, the seventh girl and the lady in the fourth room have been in the house for a year, and they haven't found a suitable person yet, and the corners of the four aunts are anxious.

Although some people came to the door to ask for marriage, those people were not too poor, which made the fourth aunt feel that the toad wanted to eat swan meat, or the identity was similar to that of the Shen family, but it was the son-in-law who wanted to marry the seventh girl as a concubine, so that the fourth aunt was angry and directly blasted people out.

Sifang is engaged in the business of reselling, reselling the specialties of the north and south regions to each other, but he has made some money, but he has been crying poor at home.

Now that the Shen family has not been separated, it stands to reason that the business of the four rooms is also the big guys together, after all, the capital of the four rooms to do business at the beginning, but they still took out the second room, but the fourth uncle and four aunts cry poor every day, and after returning the capital, they obviously don't plan to take out a penny, even if the old lady mentions it openly and secretly, it is considered that she didn't hear it, so you can imagine what the idea of the four rooms is.

Yesterday's handling of Aunt Feng's matter still caused some turmoil in the Shen family, especially after Shen Niannian's life experience was made public, many people outside secretly inquired, I don't know how many people want to see the Shen family's jokes.

"In the past few years, our life is not easy, the old lady is reluctant to divide the family, the people in the four rooms follow the bar, and refuse to take out the silver, the father and mother's private money have been posted a lot to the public middle school, the old lady still wants to squeeze out a few drops of oil, after disposing of Aunt Feng yesterday, the old lady called sick, this heart must be uncomfortable! When you're fine, stay in the house and don't go, so you don't have to let the old lady take care of it. ”

Lin Shi took the needle and thread while chatting with Shen Niannian.

The two older children can also help watch the younger ones, so she can also free up her hands to do some work.

Shen Niannian helped her embroider her purse, and nodded when she heard this, "I know sister-in-law." (To be continued.) )
