"If you really want her back, your father and I can send someone to pick her up."

Mrs. Shen Si said lightly: "Take the waterway and go south, and it won't be far back and forth." ”

Shen Duanrong didn't know whether to take Shen Rouning back or not. She was there to visit the sick. Obviously, my cousin's physical condition is still very hanging. The old man has always loved her very much, and this time when he goes back to see her, he must want to keep her for a while.

Well, there are a lot of talented people in the capital......

Shen Duanrong suddenly thought far ahead.

Ever since he felt that Shen Rouning had reached the age of marriage, Shen Duanrong had been very distressed. He felt that his sister was the most talented and beautiful sister in the world, and she was worthy of the best talent...... But I think it's also very good to be like my mother and marry my father...... I really can't make up my mind.

"Mother, did you call Brother Deng to see each other for your sister?" Shen Duanrong couldn't help but open his mouth.

Mrs. Shen Si put down the scroll, glanced at Shen Duanrong, and asked, "What did you say when you went down?" ”

"It's nothing." Shen Duanrong hurriedly said: "I just talked about the war." ”

He hid it from the Buddha bead bracelet. Because he didn't understand what Deng Changnian meant. Before figuring it out, the first thing he has to do is to keep his promise and not talk casually.

"Your sister's family affairs, it's not your turn to worry about it." Mrs. Shen Si glanced at his cuffs and said, "If it is really difficult for her to marry in the future, it is not too late for you, as a man in the family to inherit the family and keep the business, to worry about it again." ”

"Mother, what do you say, it looks like my sister won't be able to get married." Shen Duanrong sometimes can't adapt to the mother who can talk so much and change her words. It's serious. Or how it should be.

……

Shen Rouning didn't know that even her younger brother, who was only eleven years old, began to worry about her life's affairs. If you know, I'm afraid you won't be able to cry or laugh.

She won't think too much about it now.

She had long since started to think too much.

When Old Man Chen and Chen Houwen returned home with their car, it was already a small New Year's Day. The wind and snow in the south of the Yangtze River have long been sunburned by the warm sun, and when the warm and bright sun shines on the body at noon, it can always give people the illusion of spring.

This year is supposed to be a warm winter.

Shen Rouning thought to herself.

"Cousin, I bought it from the road, you can see if it fits." Chen Houwen distributed the gifts he had brought back for everyone. For Shen Rouning, it is a set of lake pens. At first glance, it is a high-quality product with exquisite workmanship.

"You're a man. It's so big, why can't you even bring a gift? Second Mrs. Chen opened her mouth when she saw it, and said, "Your cousin is a girl, you can send some fat powder cloth." Isn't it better than pen and paper? Such a good pen. Give it to your big brother! Or give it to your brother. He practiced a lot of words, and he used a pen to waste. She couldn't help but say, "Your cousin's share will be divided in half from me!" ”

Chen Houwen brought her back a few pieces of cloth. and some silver needle threads.

"Mother......" Chen Houwen's face was a little bad.

Shen Rouning likes to read calligraphy and painting, and he gives a pen to what he likes...... What is it to send cloth needlework? Do you want Shen Rouning to stop holding a pen and take a needle instead?

Of course, Mrs. Chen did it intentionally.

She felt very smart at this time, seeing that Chen Houwen was hesitant and unhappy, she went up and snatched the box of the set of pens in his hand and stuffed it to Chen Houqi, and then squeezed Chen Houwen away, held Shen Rouning, and said with a smile: "Ah Ning, this girl doesn't know how to take a needle?" You must practice, otherwise if you marry in the future, will you have to let the maid do your husband's underwear? Ah Ning, do you think about it? ”

"That's what the second aunt said." Shen Rouning smiled meekly and did not refute.

Second Mrs. Chen was satisfied, and pulled Shen Rouning and began to say, "...... Look at your eldest uncle, inside and out, it wasn't your aunt who did it? Look at your second uncle's body, it was all sewn by me with a needle and a thread! It's your cousin-in-law, who is sick in bed, can't do much, and wants to make a pair of socks for your eldest cousin...... Isn't it? ”

Shen Rouning listened obediently.

However, Chen Houwen felt very embarrassed, and looked at Shen Rouning, full of apologies.

"Okay, everyone knows that you are good at needlework, so don't show off with Ah Ning." Mrs. Chen stood up, changed the topic, and asked the old man: "Father, I wonder when the second uncle will be able to return?" Seeing that the New Year is coming, it's not good to be busy outside. ”

Mrs. Chen mentioned Second Master Chen, and Second Mrs. Chen immediately forgot about the others, lifted her mind, and looked at Old Master Chen.

Chen Houwen breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and didn't mention any more gifts or anything.

Old Man Chen spoke: "Second child, it's just these days." No matter how busy you are on official business, you have to celebrate the New Year. He has been working very hard for a while, and when the time comes, he will have to take care of the wind and wash the dust. ”

"Well, definitely, definitely." Second Master Chen happily came down.

"I can't get it back." Old man Chen said: "On his side, it is estimated that he will not be able to take a break for a while until March or April after spring plowing next year." It's not good to delay any longer on the county lord's side, you can take advantage of that time to get married. ”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Mrs. Chen was also very happy.

Although Chen Houji can't come back, the tough battle is over, and now even if she is outside, she is not too worried. Besides, March and April will be here in the blink of an eye, and when the time comes, you will be able to marry a bride and enter the door, how can you not be happy?

The two ladies in the family were satisfied, and the old man dispersed.

Shen Rouning returned to Banyue Xuan.

Chen Houwen looked at his background and wanted to follow him to send it off, but was stopped by Mrs. Chen's second wife. He didn't want to let Second Mrs. Chen think too much, so he had to follow Second Mrs. Chen first.

Mrs. Chen was thoughtful, but shook her head.

The next day, Chen Houwen found Chen Houyun in time, and he lived there and didn't know how to speak.

"Your mother doesn't agree?" Chen Houyun glanced at him and asked directly.

Chen Houwen blushed, rubbed his hands, and said embarrassedly: "My mother, you also know the eldest brother." I just showed a little meaning, and she nagged a lot. She felt that her cousin was too talented, but she could not teach her husband and children, so she ......"

"What do you think?" Chen Houyun asked again.

"I, I don't have any ideas...... Chen Houwen hesitated for a long time before saying: "But there are many subordinates in the family, everything can be done, and she doesn't need to take care of the housework......" He really couldn't imagine what Shen Rouning's "husband and children" were like. Just like Mrs. Chen's second wife deliberately pointed out, she can't even sew a pair of socks well, and the rest ......

But he still thinks she's good. I was unwilling to give up like that.

gave up Shen Rouning, what kind of woman is he going to marry? He couldn't imagine it, he just felt very unhappy in his heart. (To be continued.) )
