The Shen family did not prepare to hold a big banquet.

Shen Rouning led a few people into the flower hall.

The flower hall has just been renovated, inside and outside the house, there are many gorgeous chrysanthemums, purple and red, colorful and vibrant.

Chen Houyun was already in the hall.

He stood casually in front of a pot of chrysanthemums with his hands behind his back, as if admiring the grace and grace of the flowers. Hearing someone come in, he turned around and looked at the door with a warm smile on his face.

Chen Houji was talking loudly with Shen Rou Ning with great interest, raised his eyes to meet Chen Houyun's gaze, and immediately silenced, and his footsteps paused, and then he grinned, walked into the flower hall happily, and said excitedly: "Big brother, it's really you!" ”

His pause on the threshold clearly meant that he had the courage to take that step with a smile.

And Qin Xu, like Chen Houji, also paused, staring at the person in the room, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes. After a short pause, he slowly stepped into the flower hall, not only not letting his slight pause be too conspicuous, but also leaving time for the Chen brothers to reunite after a long absence.

Looking at Chen Houji again, he had already walked quickly in front of Chen Houyun, endured the excitement and saluted, and then asked, "Big brother, when are you coming here!" Why didn't you tell me sooner! ”

"I've been here for more than ten days." Chen Houyun didn't explain to Chen Houji, and looked at Qin Xu, who walked over slowly with a smile.

Qin Xu clasped his fists and saluted, "Big brother." ”

Chen Houyun had an easy-going attitude, nodded and smiled: "Ah Xu is also here." ”

Shen Rouning keenly saw that when Qin Xu heard the word "Axu". A smile like a spring flower on his face cracked.

It turns out that she is not the only one who has such depression.

Qin Xu prides himself on being smart and powerful, even if Chen Houyun is a few years older than him, he is also a person of the same generation. Being called so by a person of the same generation, with Qin Xu's pride, how could he not be extremely depressed.

Shen Rou glanced at Qin Xu with some sympathy in her gaze, and couldn't help but smile gloatingly. Well, although she covered her mouth in time, her eyes were crooked.

Qin Xu's face turned a little red for a while, but fortunately, he was more powerful, and he quickly returned to normal. Answered Chen Houyun's question. said: "I heard about Ah Ning's cousin's birthday, and I heard that the eldest brother is also there, so I naturally want to come over with some good achievements." ”

This time, Shen Rou Ning looked into Chen Houyun's gaze. There is already an unconcealed exclamation.

Unexpectedly. Qin Xu is such a person. In front of Chen Houyun, even the title of Chen Houji has been changed! He doesn't even call Chen Houji "Chen Er"!

It turns out that this cousin Yun is a cousin who is generally strong and powerful. He is clearly a big Buddha who can overwhelm people!

That's amazing!

Chen Houyun was a little puzzled by the exclamation in Shen Rouning's eyes, but he naturally smiled at Shen Rouning, motioned for Chen Houji and Qin Xu to sit down, and then began to ask.

At this time, Master Shen Si and Mrs. Shen Si, who are elders, have not yet come.

"Ah Xu also knows Ah Ning?" Chen Houyun said.

He didn't ask Qin Xu if he knew Shen Rouning at all, but if Qin Xu had a good relationship with Shen Rouning.

Qin Xu nodded slightly and said, "When Cousin A Ning was in the capital, I met him a few times, and when I arrived in Ningbo Mansion, I got together a few times. Now that it's Ah Ning's cousin's birthday, I don't know, but since I know, how can I not come. ”

The meaning of this is that he and Shen Rouning are very familiar with each other.

Chen Houyun obviously understood, so he didn't ask for details about it, and asked about Chen Houji and Qin Xu's plans in the Ningbo army. Hearing that Qin Xu and Chen Houji were inspired by Shen Rouning to build a South China Sea trading house, he was slightly stunned, and then admired it very much, and praised: "Because of the limited time, I didn't really arrive at those small countries, and I only walked around the neighborhood...... However, as far as I know, those small landers, although lazy, are also greedy and xenophobic. If you send people, you must have sufficient force to ensure that you can get permission from the authorities. It is best to have a powerful identity in the current dynasty, and the local natives dare not move. Otherwise, they can't beat it, they always harass and loot and destroy, and your manor can't be stable. ”

"It is said that their officials, even the king, are greedy and cowardly. You just have to find out the identity of your Qin State Mansion and use this to negotiate with them, and they will even curry favor with you...... You must know that those countries have always been our subject countries, and they are very in awe of the court magnates here in our hearts. ”

Chen Houyun talked a lot with Qin Xu, and Qin Xu seemed to be a little careless, but he quickly sat up straight, listened solemnly, and occasionally asked questions. Obviously, what Chen Houyun said helped him a lot.

“…… We'll talk a little bit more about that. I can foresee that as long as you are done, you Nanyang Commercial House will definitely shine in the future. Chen Houyun saw that Master Shen Si and Mrs. Shen Si came hand in hand, ended the conversation in time, and greeted him at the door.

Today is also Shen Rouning's birthday.

Although it was only an unimportant birthday, and it meant more to get together under the pretext of getting together, Shen Rouning still received many blessings and gifts.

Fourth Master Shen directly sealed a big red envelope for Shen Rouning, with a huge sum of five hundred taels!

"I see you've been tinkering with paint and paper lately, and you've been spending a lot of money. Take this silver and spend it. "Fourth Master Shen said very atmosphericly.

Mrs. Shen Si didn't send anything, but admonished Shen Rou Ning and said, "Be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

Shen Rouning hurriedly said yes.

Shen Duanrong gave Shen Rouning a hairpin carved by himself. At a young age, he was able to carve a magnolia flower on the mahogany wood, and he didn't know how much effort it took and how many times his wrist was sore.

Chen Houyun sent a few paintings, all of which are works of famous artists in the world, which are very difficult to find. And it seems that these paintings are all given to Chen Houyun by everyone.

Chen Houji got Shen Rouning a set of fine brushes.

Qin Xu gave Shen Rouning an ancient book.

Unexpectedly, no one sent Shen Rouning rouge gouache and jewelry. Obviously, everyone agreed in their hearts that Shen Rouning should not like these, and she is not very old, so she is not able to use them for the time being......

After receiving the gift and eating a bowl of longevity noodles, there was not much to do with her in the next meal. Mrs. Shen sat down for a while and left. As soon as she left, Master Shen Si left a message for Chen Houyun to take care of, and she left quickly.

Only their young juniors were left in the flower hall.

Shen Rouning, as a little girl, dressed up today, of course she had to avoid suspicion, she couldn't sit with Chen Houyun and a few others, and she also returned to her yard. She estimated that the food in the flower hall would soon be used and dispersed. (To be continued......)
