281 Family

Looking at their long and stubborn backs, Shen Mi couldn't help but sigh again, the brothers of a mother and sibling naturally wouldn't really get to the point of incompatibility because of this little thing, otherwise Shen Xuan wouldn't have fought back, but the family often has such chickens and dogs jumping, which is really a headache.

The Shen family has been upright from generation to generation, but there may not have been annoying family affairs in this vicissitudes of the ancient house, and the ancestors have all come over like this.

Now that Shen Guanyu is over sixty, maybe he will not be able to worry about this family for too long, the Shen family still has many opponents in the court, and if he is unable to support him, then it should be taken over by their brothers. And right now, the third room is incomplete, and the fourth room is not harmonious, what Shen Guanyu has done all his life is that the Shen family is undefeated, how can he not be worried at this time?

He turned his head to look at the silent tablets above for a long time, and then turned back to his room.

After Shen Mi and Fahrenheit discussed here, they each had a bottom in their hearts and did not mention it.

And although Shen Huan and Shen Xuan both admitted their mistakes, there was still some life on their faces when they met. Shen Eun was fine, and there were no injuries, Shen Xuan's face was still green the next morning, when Chen was helping with housework in the main room, Ji said: "The fourth brother is useless in front of him, you should go back and take a look, otherwise everyone will come tomorrow, but how can it be good?" ”

Although they are all from their own family, but with such a big blue mark on their faces, someone will always ask about it. And there are elders in each house, so it's not worth criticizing them on the spot.

Chen nodded silently and didn't say anything.

Ji Shi also ordered it and talked about the moon cakes.

Chen went back to the room and sat in the room just in a daze.

She hadn't stepped on the door of Shen Xuan's house for more than a year, if it wasn't for the fire in the water purification nunnery, otherwise she wouldn't even have spoken, let her go and see him at this moment, how could she take this step?

That's it. She called Chunhui: "When the fourth master comes back, you bring some loose ointment to Songxiao Pavilion, so that he can apply it for him." ”

Chun Hui was slightly surprised: "Slave and maid go?" ”

Chen nodded and placed two jars of ointment in her hands.

Chun Hui bit her lip and returned the medicine to her: "Grandma, let's go to another person, the slave and maid won't go." ”

She originally came here as a wedding girl, but it was only because of Wu's affairs and Shen Xuan's coldness to Chen that she gave up her heart to have sex, and later the relationship between the two of them broke down to this point, and she served Chen even more desperately, waiting for Chen to marry someone as soon as the age came. At present, it is naturally inconvenient for the Chen family to let her go to Shen Xuan's room to serve the marquis.

Chen Shi looked at the embroidered screen in front of him and exhaled, "Go ahead, he's not that kind of person." ”

has been married for more than ten years, is she still unclear who he is in his bones? Although he took a concubine, he was not chaotic, he only had Qiu Yuxiang in his heart, if it wasn't for hating her and hurting her, there would be no Wu family at all. There are so many maids in the house, and I don't see him being extraordinarily generous to anyone, Chunhui is her maid in marriage, and he has never thought much about her.

Besides, even if he really had the heart to accept Chunhui, it would be nothing.

He is now embracing left and right, and it doesn't matter to her half a penny.

Even if he marries a flat wife and comes back, will she still be jealous with her?

In the evening, Shen Xuan returned to the house, and Chunhui had no choice but to take the medicine to Songxiao Pavilion.

But after a while, she came back with a broken face: "The fourth master said that he has medicine, and he doesn't need slaves and maids." ”

Chen was rummaging through the accounts in the shop, and when he heard the words, he hummed and said no more.

Shen Yi was gossiping with Shen Yan in the patio at that time, and when he heard that the maids talked about it, he sighed: "The fourth uncle's temperament is too stubborn, when will they be so awkward?" ”

Shen Yan sniffed a branch of osmanthus on his cheeks, and looked at her with teasing eyes: "When will your heart be a head?" This morning, the eldest aunt was in our room, and when she talked about the marriage of the ninth uncle in the Sanfu, she suddenly mentioned you, but I can ask her to pay attention to your husband outside. Do you think I should recommend Third Brother Lu to her? ”

"Just talk too much!" Shen Yi's face turned red, and he pounced on Shen Yan's face.

Shen Yan dodged and said, "Don't I also want to be beautiful as an adult!" ”

Shen Yi stopped, suddenly sat back on the stone bench, and got up, "I don't have anything to do with him, don't talk nonsense." ”

Shen Yan was shy when she was at first, but when she looked at her eyebrows and eyes slightly, she did seem to be a little resistant, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Yi turned his face away and did not speak.

She knew that her affair with Lu Zhenqian in front of Shen Yan was no secret, but now she was more and more reluctant to mention him, he didn't do anything wrong, but her sense of powerlessness became more and more amplified with time. After returning from being frightened from the Pure Water Nunnery, Lu Zhenqian also asked Yuko to come to see her, and he said a lot of gentle words, and he was also concerned everywhere, but what was the use?

When she needed him, he couldn't help at all.

Thinking about it seriously, he has known him for so many years, he has never done anything for her except to coax her, he has never shared her worries and labor, he has never solved her predicament, and when her life is in danger, he can't see the slightest shadow of him-

Of course, she couldn't expect him to fall from the sky to bring her out of danger, but when a person kept saying how much he cared about her, when the Shen family was brightly lit that night, and Lu Yushi had also come to ask for news, how much self-control did he have to force himself to wait until dawn to visit her?

Her affection for Lu Zhenqian turned into autumn flowers little by little in front of these events and withered.

She is still ignorant of the love of her children, but she knows that pure love for children will not improve her situation much, and she doesn't know how to get along with Lu Zhenqian now.

So she didn't see him all these days.

Ji's obviously didn't approve of her marrying into the Lu family, so she would say such things to Hua's. She thought about it for a while, and then said to Shen Yan: "I'll only be fourteen next year, and my mother is also a little anxious." ”

Shen Yan saw that she had something on her mind, so she smiled and stopped talking.

On the morning of the 15th, the house began to be lively.

Because the Shen family is too large and widely distributed, the family rules stipulate that family banquets are only invited to relatives within three generations. All the people who came were the descendants of Shen Guanyu's uncle, and he was cousins to each other, six brothers back then, and now the passing away, far away, now there are only these few households near Jingshi.

The eldest lord Shen Guanqi has passed away, and now the eldest son Shen Yao is in charge. The second master is Shen Guanyu. The third old man, Shen Guantai, only came down from the prefect last year, and now he is teaching his grandchildren at home. The fourth master died early in the war. The fifth elder Shen Guanqiong is still in office, and he is currently serving as a sacrificial wine in the Guozi Prison. The sixth master is still in office, but he went to Ren Zhizhou on the other side of the river, so the whole family passed.

Among them, in addition to Shen Guanqiong's family living in the south of the city, Shen Guantai and Shen Yao both live in the suburbs of Beijing, so Su Ri does not often come to the door, that is, Shen Guanqiong and his wife will come and sit every three or five times, and then the children of various provinces will often come and go. But when the wives came, they only went to the upper room, and the children also looked for their own playmates, and there were no brothers in the second room, so naturally they did not come.

On weekdays, Ji's Fahrenheit and they will also go to the mansions on time, and the mansions are still intimate, but it is rare for so many people to gather in one place to talk, and although the Shen family has a hundred years of heritage, after decades of war, the remaining people are far less than the elders, so this banquet is very important every year.

The wives are senior and don't do anything, but the grandmothers are all capable.

With so many people helping, where is the need for Shen Yi and Shen Yan? When the two saw the ceremony, they took Shen Chan, the granddaughter of the third wife, to Bishui Courtyard for tea.

Shen Chan is two months younger than Shen Yi, and she has both parents, so she looks more cheerful than Shen Yi, who is often preoccupied. But because he rarely entered the city, he didn't have much contact with Shen Yan, who had just come back, and he was a little rusty at first, but Shen Yan was a self-acquaintance, and he had dealt with her a few times in his previous life, so he quickly eliminated the strangeness.

Shen Chan couldn't see Shen Ying, so she couldn't help asking.

Shen Guanyu explained that Shen Ying was not allowed to return home without major events of life and death, so it was common for him to be absent from such a family banquet. Shen Yan hadn't thought of this person for a long time, so he raised his cheeks and raised his eyebrows.

Shen Yi took over the conversation and said, "Sister Ying'er was unwell and went to Zhuangzi. Then he picked up the candied fruit on the table and asked her to eat, "This is from outside the customs, you can taste it." "Although each room is its own family, and there are family interests on the top, some things can't be covered up so dead after all, but these ugly things can be covered up, and it's not too late to say it when it can't be hidden.

Fortunately, Shen Chan was not interested in these gossips, looked at the candied fruit, and said: "I don't like sweet, my father went to the northwest in the spring and brought some candied fruit from outside the Guan, and forgot to eat it in the jar, but it was damp and moldy." After saying that, she laughed again: "But although I don't eat sweet, I will make very sweet fruit wine." ”

"You also make wine?" Shen Yan was really surprised.

Shen Chan raised her lips, "I know you don't believe it, I don't take it lightly, I only brewed two jars of green plum wine this spring and sent it to Sister Rong of the Xie family, and in the summer, I brewed two jars of wine for Sister Pei of the Du family." ”

"Now that it's autumn, our back garden is full of osmanthus flowers, you can make osmanthus wine for us!" Shen Yan didn't wait for her to finish, then jumped up and grabbed her: "Where is there such a person, just remembering the sisters and sisters of other families, but forgetting their own sisters!" If you come here this time, if you don't brew a few jars of wine for us, we won't let anyone go!" ”

"I'll only make fruit wine!" Shen Chan spread out her hands and said calmly: "And fruit wine and flower wine are two different things. ”

"Then we don't care, who asked you to send wine to Sister Rong and Sister Pei?" Shen Yi also reached out and pinched her face: "The two of us have a relationship with you, in the end, it is not as good as the Du family's sister Pei and the Xie family's sister Rong and you?" ”

Shen Chan looked innocent, "You don't come to see me every day, but a few of them often have letters, who do I not send them to?" But I can try this osmanthus wine, but you can't blame me if it doesn't work. ”R1152
