The people of the fourth room of the Shen family came from afar, and after a little greeting, the third wife of the Shen family, the Niu family, personally led them to the vacated courtyard very considerately, and let the people of the fourth room wash and settle down first, and rest:

"When the third master gets off the office, the family will have a lively meal together." Mrs. Shen said thoughtfully: "If there is anything to use, just tell her to do it." She pointed to a housekeeper's mother, who stayed to listen to the orders of the four-room family.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Mrs. Shen Si rarely opened her mouth to say politely.

Mrs. Shen San smiled and waved her hand, leading a group of people to leave with a hula and a cheer.

Waterfront Temple.

This is the courtyard prepared by Mrs. Shen San for the four-room people.

The courtyard is very close to the hanging flower gate, and the area is about a little smaller than the courtyard where Shen Si and his wife live in the ancestral house of the Shen family...... The area is not large, the four masters of the four rooms plus more than a dozen people who came with them, they must be able to live in it, but they must be very crowded.

Xu is considering that Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong are both young, or maybe they didn't think too much about settling down temporarily, Mrs. Shen arranged for the four rooms to live together, and did not let Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong live with the cousins and cousins in the third room as Shen Rouning thought before.

That's fine.

Shen Rou thought to herself.

Of course, the main house is for Shen Si and his wife.

Shen Rouning occupied two rooms in the west wing, and Shen Duanrong occupied two rooms in the east wing.

The rooms have been cleaned up by the third wife, Niu, and the Limu family has a new and spotless wipe. The screen mattresses are brand new and smell good when they have just been sunburned. And the housekeeper's mother who stayed introduced herself that her husband's surname was Liu, known as Xiao Liu's family, and she was also very eye-catching, and she quickly became familiar with Mama Fan, and she was busy cleaning up.

At noon, the fourth lady had no appetite, so the fourth master just used some in a hurry, and went into the inner room to accompany him. Leaving Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong as sisters and brothers, they sat around a square table and continued to eat.

It's not okay for a boy to eat less.

Shen Rouning has always been very careful and careful in her meals, and the time taken is naturally not short.

There were only two of them left, and the rules at this meal time were not so big.

"Sister," Shen Duanrong suddenly said, "You say, does Brother Deng know that we are coming to Beijing?" ”

Shen Rouning glanced at him faintly and said, "Why do you always think about him?" Besides, we have come to Jianning City now, and the rules are big, even if he knows that we are coming, it is impossible for him to appear in front of people as coldly as he did in the village. So, what does it matter if you know it or not. ”

"Oh." Shen Duanrong still couldn't seem to believe it: "Can't we really go out easily?" I still want to go shopping in the streets. There have never been so many people in the village, people are crowded together everywhere, and it is very lively. ”

"You want to go out?" Shen Rouning asked.

"Yes." Shen Duanrong nodded and said, "You have to go to the street to take a look, right?" Isn't it, sister? ”

"Don't worry, there will be a time for us to go out." Shen Rouning was not willing to be trapped in the inner house so much. I heard that Jianning City has infinite scenery and beauty, so why did she follow her out of the village.

"But there is certainly no chance in the last few days."

"But as long as we really settle down,......" Shen Rouning said: "Third Uncle's house, we can go to the fifth cousin to lead it out, if we go to our grandfather's house in a few days, in case we are left to live for a while, then we can find Cousin Ji." ”

"There's a chance." Shen Rouning nodded slowly.

"Oh. I know. Shen Duanrong said.

This paragraph came to an end, and he buried himself in the rice bowl again, struggling with the food. He's young, he's active, and he's having a good appetite. Watching him eat always makes people feel a sense of relief, and it arises spontaneously.

After eating, the room was almost cleaned up.

Sleeping in a carriage these days is certainly not as comfortable as a wide and soft bed. Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong separated, and fell asleep in a relaxed mood.

To be honest, she didn't like the incense on the new quilt, it was so rich that it masked the smell of the sun. But this is just a small thing, just come back and bask in the sun a few more times, it's not worth mentioning at all.

Master Shen San got down early.

He didn't immediately come to find Master Shen Si, but first asked about the Niu family and how he settled the Sifang family.

"Master, am I the woman with the careful eye?" The third wife, Niu, glanced at the third old man and said, "Although the waterfront courtyard is what I want to renovate, it's not so that when someone in the clan comes over, there is a good courtyard to live in?" I'm not looking forward to this, sir, can you gain a firm foothold in the capital? The fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister's family came over, didn't they just use it? ”

"I know that you have a foresight, ma'am." Master Shen San praised the third wife, Niu, and then asked, "You also saw her today, what do you think?" Is your message accurate? ”

"Master, first of all, you have to understand, I just came to the capital for the first time and don't know many people, it is already rare to find out that the fourth brother and sister are from the Chen family, how can I find out the old things more than ten years ago?" Niu sat opposite the third master and said cautiously: "You have to take a closer look." ”

The Niu clan is not from the capital, nor is it near Yishan.

Her maiden family, Jingmen, Hubei, is also a well-known local gentry. Because his brother was the head of the county, he had the opportunity to marry Shen Chongyan, who was the county magistrate in Jingmen County, who lost his wife at that time. After marrying into the Shen family, the Niu family soon had friendships with the official wives of various families, which helped Shen Chongyan a lot in his career.

It can be said that Shen Chongyan was able to be transferred back to the capital, and the Niu family also contributed-

In the last year of the expiration of his term of office, Niu's relationship with Mrs. Shen Chongyan Shangfeng was very good. And the adult surnamed Qi happened to have some connections in the Ministry of Officials, and it took a lot of thought before he was finally able to transfer back to the capital and enter the Ministry of Officials.

The origin of the fourth wife, Chen, was the first curiosity of the Niu family, and it took a lot of effort to determine that it was the Chen family from the Chen family, which was actually the famous Chen family!

Otherwise, Master Shen San would not have thought of saying that he would let Master Shen Si take the imperial examination!

In the eyes of Master Shen San, Master Shen Si is infatuated with a woman in a thousand ways, and he just wants to keep it for the rest of his life, and he can do without other fame and future, so there are only three words to describe it, that is: no interest!

He thought in his heart that Shen Chongyan was unproductive, so how could he think of letting him come out and continue the imperial examination to help him? If it weren't for Niu's discovery of Chen's origins, he would never have thought of the truths listed in his own letter!

"However, there is good news, and the master should know it." The Niu clan was almost adjusted to Master Shen San, so he spoke: "When Duanyu went out of the city to welcome the fourth brother's family before, I saw a son in the team who said goodbye to the fourth brother, saying that it was the maiden nephew of the fourth brother and sister. In order to ask, the man's surname is indeed Chen, and they met on the road early......"

The Niu family told Shen Chongmo about the various coincidences of Shen Rouning condensing in Mantou Mountain and rescuing Chen Houji.

Regarding Chen Houji's matter, no one in the four rooms thought of hiding it, so he was naturally easily inquired about by the Niu family.

"I don't care if it's a coincidence or not......," Niu said: "It doesn't matter if the second young master of the Chen family is really ordered to pick up people, just say that this relative's blood is plus the grace of saving lives, and this relationship can't be left out." ”

"For the master, it's definitely not bad." (Ask for a reward~~It's ugly to be bare~)
