Mrs. Shen stayed in her Baode Hall every day and recited Buddhist scriptures, and did not come out much.

Early in the morning, the juniors of the Shen Mansion gathered at Baode Hall to greet the old lady.

Cheng also told the second lady of the Qian Mansion about inviting several young ladies of the Shen Mansion to play.

The old lady was very happy to hear this, and said: "You little girls should go out and walk around with their peers more while they are young, and when they are out of the cabinet, there will be no chance to play if they want to." Perhaps thinking of when she was young, the old lady was very emotional.

Everyone saw that the old lady was a little sad, so they all picked interesting things to tell, and after a while, the old lady laughed.

After telling the old lady, Feng and the Biyan sisters returned to their small courtyard to use the morning and cleaned up again. After seeing that the time was still early, he set off for Qian Mansion unhurriedly.

The Shen Mansion is located on East Street, while the Qian Mansion is on West Street, but the distance is not very far. It's only half an hour's journey by carriage.

This time, when he went to Qianfu, Feng was worried about Bi Yan, so he sat in the same carriage with her, and Bi Ting was in the same carriage with Bi Wan.

Before leaving, the little fat man Shen Fengyuan also clamored to follow, but Feng persuaded him, saying that if he didn't listen to his husband's lecture well, he would be punished by his father Shen Zhongtao.

The carriage of the Shen family walked slowly on the street, and the people outside the car were full of noise, and they knew that it was very lively when they heard it, but Bi Yan did not open the curtain this time to look.

Feng Shi looked at his daughter's quiet appearance, thinking that it was still early, so he told her about the situation in the Qian Mansion, which happened to be what Biyan wanted to know.

"Your aunt is married to the second master of the Qian Mansion, the second master did not enter the office, but he is in charge of all the business of the Qian Mansion, and your aunt used to be in your grandmother's house, she was very talented in business, but she was restricted by the status of a woman, so she couldn't show it. A few years ago, Mrs. Qian passed away due to illness, and all the middle feeds of the Qian Mansion were handed over to your aunt. So, Biyan, when you go to the Qian Mansion, you don't have to be restrained, just treat it as if it were your own home. ”

As soon as Bi Yan heard it, she knew that Old Lady Qian was referring to her former right-hand man Qian Baoxin, so she asked eagerly: "That mother, is Old Lady Qian still there?" ”

Although it felt a little strange to hear her daughter ask about Mrs. Qian, Feng still replied: "Mrs. Qian, she passed away ten years ago. ”

Hearing that her former friend had passed away, Bi Yan's mood immediately fell, although she had tried her best to hide it, but she was still noticed by Feng, who had been paying attention to her daughter, Feng asked worriedly: "Yan'er, what's wrong with you, tell your mother." ”

Bi Yan couldn't tell the truth, and she didn't believe it when she said it, so she had to lie: "It's nothing, my daughter just thought that it would be a little strange to go to her aunt's house for a while." ”

Feng Shi burst out laughing when he heard this. While laughing, he said: "Silly girl, I thought something was wrong with you, aren't you very bold, how can you be afraid, my mother told you, it's better to treat your aunt's house as your own home, what are you afraid of." ”

After saying something, he added: "By the way, you also have a cousin and a cousin." My cousin's name is Qian Fei, and she is thirteen years old this year, one year older than you. Very good to get along with. When the time comes, your aunt will definitely let Fei'er play with your sisters. Your cousin's name is Qian Jin, and Brother Jin is twenty-seven years old this year, and he has a family with an eight-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. Your cousin-in-law has a good temperament, don't worry. ”

Biyan's emotions have also eased a lot after such a while, birth, old age, sickness and death are the number of heaven and earth, but she has some regrets that she will never see Qian Baoxin again.

As for her uncle, she still remembers, she didn't expect that Xiao Douding, who was held in Qian Baoxin's arms back then, was already a grandfather, by the way, what about Qian Baoxin's eldest son, the young man named Qian Donglai, who had the impression of being a calm and clever person, why didn't he hear her mother Feng mention it, could it be him?

Come on, instead of guessing, it's better to ask her mother directly.

So she pretended to be curious and asked, "Mother, since my uncle is the second master of the Qian Mansion, there must be a big master." ”

"Of course, Master Qian, he is the head of the household department and the current head of the Qian family." Speaking of Master Qian, Feng's tone was slightly regretful.

Bi Yan, who caught this, immediately asked, "Mother, is there anything wrong with this old man Qian?" ”

"It's not, my mother is just sorry for Master Qian, such a talented person, but he has no son, and his wife died again, it's pitiful."

"Then he has no children and has never taken a concubine?"

Hearing his daughter ask about the concubine's room, Feng Shi blamed him a little: "You kid, who told you this, remember not to mention it in the future." Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian have a deep relationship, and even if they have no children, they have never accepted a concubine. ”

I didn't expect that young man to die lonely in his old age, which is really pitiful. However, it is very good not to accept concubines, Biyan thought that it was a pity for Qian Donglai.

Feng Shi said again: "Fortunately, with Niangniang, Master Qian will not be so lonely." ”

"Mother?" Biyan's tone was full of surprise.

"Yes, Master Qian also has a daughter, who is now the imperial concubine."

Imperial concubine, isn't that her son's daughter-in-law? After so many days, Biyan finally heard about what happened there.

Some people may ask, why doesn't she usually ask the people of the Shen family about things there.

She wanted to ask directly. However, she has just returned to normal, where did she hear about the royal family, let alone why she is interested in the royal family, and the flaws exposed in Puji Temple last time, caused her to dare not ask people about the royal family, especially recently.

However, it doesn't matter, she's not in a hurry, what she wants to know will always know, it's just a matter of time.

Feng Shi saw that his daughter didn't say a word, and thought that he was frightened by what she said about the imperial concubine, so he explained gently: "Yan'er, don't be afraid, the imperial concubine is very good, you will know when you have the opportunity to see it in the future." ”

Biyan smiled and said: "Mother, I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking about what the palace looks like, it must be very big and beautiful." ”

Listening to Biyan's little daughter's words, Feng said with a smile: "Yan'er was originally curious about the palace, you will have the opportunity to enter the palace in the future, don't worry." ”

As he spoke, the voice of a coachman was heard outside. "Second lady, the Qian Mansion has arrived." "Oh? Time flies so fast, just say the conversation is here, Biyan, get off. Lan Yu and Bai Zi, who had always been in the background in the carriage, hurriedly helped their respective masters and slowly got out of the carriage.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, Feng saw that her sister and daughter-in-law were standing at the gate waiting.

"It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
