Chapter 39: The Shen Family
An Rong was slightly stunned in her heart, she didn't like to drink very much, but when did they like it, asking her to send wine was just a habit, if she wanted to go back, maybe she would put it there in the dust, or use it to please her father, in this life, what she hates the most is to make wedding clothes for others!
But with good things, it's really unreasonable for sisters not to share with each other, An Rong gritted his teeth, and agreed painfully, Shen Anyu regretted not asking for three bottles, whether she liked it or not, she Shen Anrong had it, and they should have it!
After they picked out the wine, An Rong began to bombard, "Knowing that I am easy to talk, I will be coaxed to give you wine for a while, so hurry up." β
Shen Anyu looked back at her, but the corner of his eye swept to those wine bottles, the wine brewed by Prince Rui's son is usually extremely difficult to obtain, so he said, "Won't you send ten bottles to your mother?" β
An Rong's heart was slightly cold, she really didn't see the outside, as soon as she opened her mouth, it was ten bottles, An Rong smiled without revealing her face, "Mother doesn't like to drink, and I kept it for her father, I kept it for my father, no more, I'll send her two bottles to taste." β
After saying anything, he coaxed the sisters away, An Rong picked two bottles and asked Qiu Ju to send them to the eldest lady, and six bottles of peony to the old lady.
He also sent two bottles to Shen Anxi and Shen Anhuai, and as for the young masters and girls, they didn't have much contact with each other, so they sent one bottle.
Begonia stepped upstairs, An Rong was eating candied fruit, this was the peony medicine sent to the wine, the old lady rewarded her, the taste was very sweet, seeing Begonia, asked with a smile, "Have you seen the fifth young master?" β
Haitang smiled and nodded, "See, when the slave went, the fifth young master was learning to blow the flute, Xu had just learned, and the five tones were not complete, I heard that the girl gave him wine, which was still treasured by Prince Rui's son, you must taste it, the third aunt can't resist him." β
As soon as An Rong heard that Shen Anhuai was learning to blow the flute, and the five tones were incomplete, he imagined it in his mind, and laughed, "I don't have a flute, but the eldest brother seems to have several jade flutes." β
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and there was a voice of talking, "I knew that you had taken a fancy to the eldest brother's jade flute, so I didn't bother to pick any gifts." β
Listening to this mellow and familiar voice, An Rong's body was stunned, his nose immediately became sore, and tears came out.
Haitang stood in front of An Rong, and when she saw her tears, she was startled, why did the girl cry?
An Rong got off the couch and stepped forward, but before his tears could be wiped away, Shen Anbei was frightened, and asked with a tiger face, "Who bullied you?" β
An Rong's nose was even more sour, she just hadn't seen her eldest brother for several years, she didn't expect to see her eldest brother's voice and smile again, she was grateful for God's pity.
An Rong shook his head with a smile, secretly clenched his fists, and swore in his heart: The tragedy of the eldest brother in this life will never happen again!
"It's okay, I'm just happy to hear that there is a gift, big brother, what about the gift you gave me?" An Rong couldn't wait to ask, his eyes were no longer sad, but full of interest.
Shen Anbei had doubts in his eyes, he would come back two or three times a month, and he had never seen An Rong cry like this before, Shen Anbei frowned and said, "Is it that the Hou Shizi of Jingbei bullied you, Brother Ming'er went to beat him up and give you a breath." β
An Rong burst into tears and smiled, and pulled him to sit down, "You are my eldest brother, don't you know me, bully me, when have I been good-tempered, my grandmother will also help me, don't talk about it, what about my gifts?" β
Shen Anbei took out two brocade boxes from his sleeves, one large and one small, An Rong opened it and looked at it, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
In his previous life, the eldest brother should come back tomorrow, and the gift to him was his newly acquired wolf jade tube pen, not a pair of pearl earrings and a string of sugar gourds!
An Rong twisted his eyebrows and looked at Shen Anbei, "Big brother, where is your wolf jade pen?" β
Shen Anbei was suddenly stunned, how did the fourth sister know that he was planning to send her a wolf jade tube pen?
Touching the eldest brother's questioning eyes, An Rong's heart jumped, and he hurriedly remedied, "I heard that Qiongshan Academy held a competition, and the color head is the wolf jade pipe pen, the eldest brother is extraordinary, isn't it a hand-to-hand capture?" You have always loved me the most, and you will definitely give it to me. β
Shen Anbei's embarrassed face flushed, "There are mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, the eldest brother failed to win the first, next time, next time I will definitely win the lottery back to you." β
An Rong's eyes flashed slightly, he always felt that there was something unusual, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, who is the first?" β
"His surname is Shen like mine, his name is Shen Zulang," Shen Anbei said with a smile, but there was a little melancholy in his smile, "He is Qizhou Xie Yuan, handsome as Chen, who came to Qiongshan Academy to study, and will participate in the Spring Festival next year, he should be among the first." β
Hearing Shen Zulang's three words, An Rong's face was slightly gloomy, his eyes were cold, Shen Anbei was puzzled, and sighed, "The eldest brother is indeed not as talented as him, the eldest brother can inherit the title, and there is no need to compare with him." β
An Rong pursed his lips, feeling that it was better to tell Brother SΓΉ about some things, so he looked at Qiu Ju and waved his hand, "You go out first." β
Qiu Ju thought that their brother and sister had something to whisper, so Fu Shen withdrew.
Shen Anbei saw that An Rong was so cautious, his face was still cold, and he became more and more puzzled, so he heard An Rong ask, "Big brother, do you remember why your grandfather joined the army?" β
Shen Anbei nodded, how could he forget about this, "Great-grandfather is the imperial history of the previous dynasty, the emperor of the previous dynasty was mediocre, did not listen to advice, and copied his great-grandfather's house, fortunately, my grandfather went out to play and escaped a catastrophe, I remember this." β
An Rong clenched his fists and looked at Shen Anbei firmly, "There are some things that the eldest brother doesn't know, but I know that when my great-grandfather was in the limelight, the Shen family in Qizhou was in a knot everywhere, and later when my great-grandfather was killed, the Shen family in Qizhou was anxious to clear up the relationship, and my grandfather fled to Qizhou to seek protection, but instead of helping my grandfather, in order to show their loyalty to the imperial court, they tied up my grandfather and sent him to the official ......." β
An Rong said angrily, paused, and his expression eased by three points, "Fortunately, someone helped my grandfather to escape, and later my grandfather joined the army and fought in Qizhou, when my brother learned that the Shen family in Qizhou was ungrateful and wanted to avenge his grandfather, killed two descendants of the Shen family, and burned the main hall of the Shen family, and made the head of the Shen family in Qizhou angry to death, do you know who he is from Shen Zulang?" β
Shen Anbei was silently stunned, looked at An Rong directly, An Rong closed his eyes and said, "Shen Zulang is the descendant of the Shen family in Qizhou, and it was his great-grandfather who was angry with his grandfather. β
Shen Anbei was struck by lightning, An Rong smiled bitterly, "The Shen family in Qizhou has been recuperating all these years, no one has entered the court as an official, it is taboo grandfather, now that my grandfather has passed away, there are not many people who knew about it back then, my grandfather left a testament, and wanted the Shen family to become a famous family, just for fear of the revenge of the Shen family in Qizhou, do you know who Shen Zulang is from the Guozi Priest Wine?" β
Shen Anbei's face was pale.
"It's his cousin-in-law," An Rong said.
