038 In the ancestral hall

It's a pity that although Shen Duanrong is smart, he is only six years old in the end, and after listening to Shen Rouning's explanation, he still seems to understand. He nodded ignorantly, remembering his sister's words in his heart.

Well, there's one thing he's heard very clearly.

If he dared to deliberately mess around like Brother Song, hurt others and hurt himself, his beloved sister Jedi would not be polite to him.

After entering the ancestral hall, Shen Rouning sent Xiyan in to pass the word, and soon an old woman with gray hair and a lot of spirit came out. I saw that her demeanor was enthusiastic and there was no humility, she was shrewd, introverted and capable, and she was Mama Fang.

"I've seen the fourth girl, I've seen the eighth young master." Mama Fang saluted.

"Mama doesn't have to be polite." Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong turned sideways and refused to accept the salute, and returned the half-salute very politely, very respectful.

Mama Fang is the nurse of Shen San, and she has served Shen San for most of her life.

Of course, Mama Fang will not accept their half-salute. I saw that she flexibly avoided it, calling it "torment" and the like, and her smile deepened, obviously very satisfied with the attitude of Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong.

"How has the eldest sister been in the past two days? Living here, will Brother Song be afraid? Shen Rouning asked politely as she walked towards the small ancestral hall with Mama Fang.

"This is a place to worship ancestors, and no one comes on weekdays, and the night is a little eerie...... The old man punished him so badly that even at night, he was not allowed to bring in even a charcoal basin...... The eldest girl and the sixth young master didn't sleep peacefully at night, and it was inevitable that they were a little in good spirits. As for the body, it is fine. ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the place where the tablet was enshrined in the main house.

On the offering table layer by layer, there are a total of more than 20 tablets, all of which are made of ebony, swarthy, and seem to be able to absorb the light from all directions, even if it is sunny and white outside, the light in the room still seems much dimmer.

Shen Roubing and Shen Duansong were kneeling on the futon.

Shen Roubing knelt upright and straight, motionless; Shen Duansong was kneeling on his lap, a little crooked. waited until he heard the movement outside, and then quickly knelt up straight.

The master commanded that the two masters must kneel for an hour every morning and afternoon before they can get up. Even if someone comes to visit, they are not allowed to move. Otherwise, it will have to be re-timed. Mama Fang explained in a low voice: "The fourth girl and the eighth young master wait a minute, the two little masters are only missing this incense injection this morning. ”

The incense burner on the offering table has been inserted into the incense burner, which is already more than half burned.

It seems that they will soon be able to get up and move.

Shen Rouning nodded in understanding, and said in a low voice: "Brother Rong and I also put incense on the ancestors. ”

When Mama Fang heard this, she immediately went to fetch the incense and gave it to the two of them. Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong bowed respectfully, inserted the incense in their hands in the incense burner, and then pushed behind Shen Roubing and Shen Duansong, motioned for Mama Fang to take the futon, and knelt down respectfully and straight.

They can't just stand on the sidelines and wait, like they're here to see a joke.

Kneeling together for a moment can be regarded as a confession of heart.

Shen Rouning was not worried that Shen Roubing would misunderstand, but she was sure that if they really stood aside and "watched the joke", Brother Song, a bear child, would definitely be angry and find them "trouble" in the future.

The bear child's nonsense is the most headache.

Just look at Shen Roubing.

Sure enough, after they knelt down, Brother Song took advantage of Mama Fang's inattention and quickly glanced back, and the raised brows that had been raised fell down, and his mood was much more stable.

The time for the half-pillar incense to burn quickly ran out.

After Mama Fang smiled and said, "Please get up, little masters", she turned around and walked outside, obviously leaving space between their siblings.

"Hey, Fourth Sister, did you bring me anything to eat?" As soon as Mama Fang left, Brother Song immediately shouted.

"Brought some pastries." Shen Rouning and the others took out the pastries hidden in their sleeves, Brother Song immediately grabbed them, grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, and said unsatisfied: "Why didn't you bring meat buns to ......?"

Shen Rouning smiled and didn't answer.

Brother Song seemed to have been suffering for the past few days, so he didn't say anything more, and struggled with those pastries. He snatched all the pastries in front of him to protect them, and he didn't even give Shen Roubing the slightest intention.

Shen Rouning's brows moved, and she didn't say much, and asked Shen Roubing, "Sister Bing, are you okay?" ”

Shen Roubing nodded, sat on the futon, slowly softened her knees, and asked aloud, "I wonder if Brother Bai is better?" ”

"We only went to see him before we came and he was much better. The doctor said that the residual poison in his body had been cleared, and the fever had subsided, but his body was a little weak, and he needed to nourish his spleen and stomach for a few more days before he could be cured. ”

It's just that it's still easy to be frightened. A sudden movement can scare him out of his mind.

Shen Roubing's expression was a little relieved, she looked at Shen Duansong, who was stuffed with pastries, and said in a low voice: "It's my eldest sister who is useless." ”

It seems that Shen Roubing took the admonition of Master Shen San in her heart, and blamed herself and felt guilty.

Shen Rou pursed her lips, she couldn't say anything, so she had to smile and say, "Brother Bai won't blame you." Besides, wasn't my sister also punished? ”

Shen Roubing smiled faintly, and there was still a knot between her eyebrows.

Shen Roubing had no choice but to gossip.

The pastries they brought were not insignificant. Brother Song couldn't eat some of them, so he quickly wrapped the rest of the pastry with a handkerchief and hid it on his body. I don't know if he was clever enough to calculate the time, so he hid it, and Mama Fang came in.

She brought two cups of ginger candy tea for Shen Roubing and Shen Duansong to drink, then put the tea cup aside and began to rub Brother Song's legs.

"Although the old man punished him harshly, he deliberately explained to the old slave, two cups of ginger sugar tea every day to dispel dampness and cold, and the old slave must not forget to rub the legs of the eldest girl and the sixth young master." Mama Fang smiled and said, "The master has a loving heart, the eldest girl and the sixth young master are so lucky to have such a father." ”

Shen Roubing's eyes turned a little red, and her expression became more and more guilty.

And although Shen Duansong was still a little unruly in his eyes, he closed his mouth very honestly at this time and did not complain.

As long as it is not in front of Master Shen San and Mrs. Shen San, he always likes to mumble and complain, depending on who is not so pleasing to the eye, he always looks like he wants to refute, complains, and wants to do it against others, which is a headache.

"The eldest sister and the sixth brother are both children born to the third uncle's father, of course he loves them." Shen Rouning smiled and said, "Mama, did you say it?" ”

"Yes, that's nature." Mama Fang said with a smile.

But a big man who pays attention to the big things outside may not be able to think of these small details. Shen Rouning could detect from the smugness and disapproval that flashed in Mama Fang's eyes, this ginger tea rubbing her legs was probably not something that Shen San could remember.

Ten **, it was Mama Fang who reminded him.

Of course, Shen Rouning didn't need to debunk these.
