Chapter 37: The Banquet (1)

"Grandma, tell me and Xiao Lei more about my mother. Growing up, I loved to hear about my mother, but few people told us about it. Situ Ying's sleeves flashed with long eyelashes like butterfly wings, and he looked at Old Madam Shen with begging.

Old Madam Shen was once again in tears when she saw her eyes, and choked up: "Didn't your father tell you about your mother?" ”

Situ Yingsleeve shook his head, "My father won't let me say it." My mother left early, and I don't remember some things. After speaking, she looked at Situ Chenlei and said pityingly: "My brother doesn't know anything about his mother's affairs......

"This ......" Old Madam Shen took a sip of hatred, but she didn't say anything to blame Situ Jianren, she took Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei's hands, and said, "Wait a while, go to grandma's room with grandma, and grandma will tell you about your mother carefully." He looked at Xiao Lei and said, "There are cats, grandma has two cats here, Snowball and Flower Branch......"

Situ Chenlei's eyes lit up when he heard this, he no longer dodged, and waited obediently by Situ Ying's sleeve.

While talking, the people of the Shen family all came and greeted Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei.

Situ Yingsleeve took Situ Chenlei and called all the way.

"Uncle, second uncle, second aunt, eldest cousin, eldest cousin, second cousin, third cousin......"

The old man and the old lady of the Shen family only have two sons and one daughter. They don't have a concubine in this room, and Old Man Shen's brother, that is, Situ Yingsleeve's maternal uncle, has a concubine, and they have long been separated and don't live together.

Shen Yongjie, the youngest daughter of the old man Shen, married Situ Jianren, the two sons had a very good relationship with their sister that day, and now they have met two nephews and nieces, and they are also very affectionate.

"Sleeves, don't see outside in the future, come to play at home when you have time. When you arrive in the capital, our two families are not far apart, if there is anything, just ask a mother-in-law to come over. The second aunt Shen Yuyuan said enthusiastically, holding Situ Ying's hand, very affectionate.

As the saying goes, seeing your uncle is like seeing your mother.

For the first time, Situ Yingsleeve felt the family affection of her grandfather's family, and she was both happy and a little incomprehensible.

It seems that the people of my grandfather's family, whether it is my grandmother, or my uncle or aunt, really love myself and Xiao Lei, so why haven't they been to Jiangnan to see their family for so many years?

Of course, in the early years, when her mother was still alive, she remembered that the Shen family would send a boatload of things over every year before the Chinese New Year.

Later, when the mother passed away, the Shen family still sent their mother-in-law and maids over every year to see their sisters and brothers.

After that, no one came.

Her father said that it was because her brother was a fool, and the Shen family felt that they had lost their people, so they didn't care about their siblings......

Although she was young at that time, she was also half-convinced, and she didn't believe it all, but she also felt a little ashamed, so she hid her younger brother at home and didn't let him go out to be ridiculed.

Now that I think about it, I probably can't believe a word of her father's words.

After Ying Sleeve and Xiao Lei met with their relatives, Mrs. Shen said, "Okay, you go down to entertain guests, I will take Sleeve Sleeve and Xiao Lei to my room to talk." ”

The Shen family was busy and watched them go.

Situ Yingsleeve looked back at Shen Yule and said, "Cousin, come with us." ”

Shen Yule looked at her mother, Prince Yueshan.

Wang Yueshan nodded with a smile and said, "You can go with you." ”

Old Madam Shen did not object, nodded with a smile, took Situ Chenlei's hand and left first.

Situ Yingsleeve and Shen Yule followed hand in hand.

After Mrs. Shen and her three children left, the Shen family left separately.

Prime Minister Shen Dacheng was the last to leave the upper room.

Behind him was an elderly confidant of his, in his sixties, black and fat with a beard, dressed as a steward, who came to the inner courtyard with him and met Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei.

“…… Jingyi, what do you think of that kid? Prime Minister Shen Dacheng asked with his hands behind his back and with a heavy heart.

The staff member's surname is Lu Ming Jingyi, who has been by Prime Minister Shen Dacheng's side for many years and is his right-hand man.

Lu Jingyi sighed, "Elder Shen, I've been friends with you for many years, so I'll tell you the truth. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"This kid is lucky to have the resources of a Chinese person."

"Well, I know that too. The way he is now, he couldn't be better than I knew at the beginning. - Whether he can be stupid or stupid, I have nothing more to ask for. Prime Minister Shen Dacheng stopped, stood under the shade of the tree, and squinted his eyes to look ahead, "...... It's better to have another son. ”

At the end of the green tree road, a boy in a wide robe and a slow belt walked over.

The path is dotted with colorful flowers, such as cornflowers, half-branches, and calendulas.

The boy's face was as pale as jade, with a moon-white robe on his body and a white jade belt around his waist, and he walked slowly from the end of the road.

Prime Minister Shen Dacheng smiled and said softly: "It's Dongli who is here." ”

Lu Jingyi glanced at it, and then said: "I think that Miss Situ is very capable, and she cherishes her younger brother, but she has a lot to do......"

"Oh?" Prime Minister Shen Dacheng glanced back at him, "She is very smart, but it's a pity that she is a ...... of her daughter's family."

"Daughters, sons, it doesn't matter." Lu Jingyi said meaningfully, "The important thing is whether she has the ability to help her younger brother." ――If she can even help Liu Adou up, then what are you worried about? ”

Prime Minister Shen Dacheng's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Stay, let's talk about it later." ”

As he spoke, Xie Dongli had already walked up to them and bowed slightly, "Prime Minister Shen, Old Lu." ”

Lu Jingyi was surprised: "You actually recognize me?" ”

He has been hiding behind Shen Xiang's scenes, and very few people know his real name.

Xie Dongli smiled and said: "Once, when I was a teenager, I came to Shen Mansion to pay a visit, and I happened to pass by Lu Lao, and Shen Xiang mentioned it to Xiao Ke. ”

Prime Minister Shen Dacheng felt in a trance that there was indeed such a thing, but it was too long, he couldn't remember what time it was, and said with a smile: "It's not an outsider, let's go out and talk." ”

Xie Dongli bowed his head and took a step.

Prime Minister Shen Dacheng walked in the front, and Lu Jingyi and Xie Dongli walked side by side.

The three of them went out of the second door and went to Prime Minister Shen Dacheng's outer study to talk first.

……

Shen Yule accompanied Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei to talk in Mrs. Shen's room.

Situ Chenlei sat and listened for a while, and was attracted by Old Madam Shen's two cats.

Xueqiu and Huazhi didn't recognize Situ Chenlei either, one jumped on his lap and lay down, and the other squatted on the brocade beside him.

Because Shen Yule was here, there were some things that Situ Yingsleeve didn't want to ask, she thought about it, and felt that she was not in a hurry, so she only smiled and mentioned it slightly: "Grandma, can you sue me, how did my mother and my father get married in the first place?" ”

One is the youngest daughter of the prime minister's family, and the other is the youngest son of a small merchant in Jiangnan.

This gap, now that I think about it, is really not ordinary......
