Chapter 148: Reunion

Shen's mother changed into half-new stone blue clothes and the three of them went to the upper room, standing at the door, they saw two tables of food, full of plates and bowls, Shen Shilang sat on the main seat of one of the tables, saw the three people come in, pointed to the empty seat on his right hand and ordered, "The second family is here, come, the second child, you sit next to me." ”

The habit of the Shen Mansion, although it is a reunion dinner, is that men and women sit at separate tables, on the men's side, Master Shen is the head of the family sitting in the main seat, and on the women's table, of course, Mrs. Shen. Shen Shilang is still in his sixties, with a gray goatee, his mouth is tightly pursed, and there are two deep grooves at the corners of his mouth, I don't know if it is born or the habit of not smiling, which makes people look very serious and dare not get close, he spoke, and some girls have already placed dishes and chopsticks respectively, let Shen Yueru's family sit down, Mrs. Shen's face is also tense, and she didn't say anything and glanced at the second child's family, and asked, "It's all cleaned up, do you still like the yard?" ”

"Everything is fine, Mother Lao is worried!"

Shen's mother then complained behind her back, but at this moment she also knew that she couldn't say it, so she had to smile reluctantly, and after answering a word, she stopped talking, and a middle-aged daughter-in-law sitting next to the old woman raised her eyebrows playfully, and the old lady sneered without a trace, "Okay, let's have a banquet, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Another lady, who looked older than the old woman, asked, "Eh, why haven't you seen Wenxing, Wen'an, and Yue'e?" ”

Wenxing and Wen'an are Shen Yueru's elder brothers, and Yue'e is a daughter born to Shen's father's concubine.

It was Uncle Shen's biological mother who spoke, Master Shen's aunt He, who was the master's cousin, the eldest son was born to her, and there was a child who became the concubine of King Linping, and gave birth to the only son, who was very favored, although she didn't get the old feudal king or anything, but she has always had a status in the house, and Mrs. Shen only respects her, and Master Shen looks at her differently, but this Shen Yueru family has nothing to rely on in this family.

Over there, Master Shen was feeling that there was a lack of people, and when he heard this, he remembered it, and asked the second child, "What's the matter with the second child?" ”

"Back to my father, Wenxing and Wen'an have come to the end of the game this year, I am afraid that I will miss the exam date, so I didn't come back, Yue'e's mother is sick again, and someone has to take care of Wenxing in the old house, Wen'an is preparing for the exam hard, and they also need someone to take care of their lives, so I took Yueru back first, and when the exam is over, they will go to Beijing."

After Father Shen finished speaking, Master Shen nodded and said, "The township test is a serious matter and cannot be delayed, this time, they can grasp the end?" ”

The men here are talking about the future, and the women's table is not so harmonious, Shen Yue, the daughter of the third master's family, turned her eyes and landed on a golden hairpin on Hua's head, and said to her mother sourly, "Father really loves Aunt Hua, mother looks at the two gems on the hairpin is really dazzling!" ”

After her daughter's reminder, Grandma Shen San not only looked at the hairpin in Hua's hair, but frowned unhappily, "Then it was given by your father, the stupid boy climbed the high branch and patted the horse's ass." ”

Hua's is the fastest to hold the flowers, only to get a hairpin at the door, just show off all over the house, coincidentally Shen Yuejiao didn't hear it, listening to her mother say this, she suddenly remembered, it seems that she heard someone mention it, saying that the third grandmother who returned to the house was very generous and rewarded her aunt with a hairpin, and the feeling is this.

"The second girl looks good at my hairpin? Hehe, hey, the concubine is here to thank the third grandmother for her generosity, aren't the second girl and the fourth girl also a pair of bracelets, have you worn them, in the ancestral house, I saw from a distance that it was also yellow and red gold. ”

Hua Shi touched the hairpin on his head as he spoke, and his smiling eyes narrowed into two slits.

It's okay not to mention this, but as soon as she mentioned this, Shen Yuejiao took the bracelet off her wrist resentfully, slapped it heavily in front of Shen Er's grandmother, and said in disgust, "It turns out that I'm not as good as an aunt!" ”

It turned out that the bracelets that Shen's mother gave to the two girls in the house were all red gold, less than an inch wide, with a thin layer, and an elegant peony pattern tattooed on them, but it looked good, but compared to the hairpin with two gems inlaid on Hua's head, it was directly compared.

Shen's mother was speechless when she heard this, opened her mouth in a daze, and hurriedly looked at her daughter, Shen Yueru's face stiffened, and she hurriedly explained, "That's not what I mean, my sister misunderstood, and when I came back to prepare a gift for my sister, I persuaded me a lot, saying that my second sister likes elegant things when she is young, and I look at the lifelike peony pattern on it, which is very good-looking, so I made a suggestion." And when I used to live in Kyoto, I saw my sister wearing red gold bracelets, and I thought my sister had a preference for gold bracelets, but I was wrong. As he spoke, he took off an emerald jade bracelet from his wrist, handed it to Shen Yuejiao's face, and said with a big sister's generosity, "This is my gift to my sister, my sister's skin is snow-white, and this emerald bracelet is better than what my sister wears." It's a pity that there is only such a one, not a pair. ”

Shen Yuejiao subconsciously took the bracelet and was about to put it on, but muttered on the spot, "I won't say it, you won't give it to me!" ”

Old Madam Shen said roundly, "Since your sister gave it to you, you can wear it, don't live up to her good intentions." Listening to the old lady's words, Grandma Shen San immediately raised a smile, changing her face faster than changing the sky, and said with a smile, "Yuejiao can't be rude, I don't know if I thought you asked someone for a bracelet, and it was passed on to make people laugh, but since it was given by the eldest girl, you can take it, but there is no next time, otherwise I will see if I beat you or not!" ”

Shen Yuejiao couldn't care about being reserved at this moment, so she directly put the bracelet on her wrist, and hurriedly took the gold bracelet placed next to Shen's mother, so she hurriedly put it back on her wrist for fear of being snatched away, staring at the jade bracelet with great satisfaction and grinning to herself.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this emerald bracelet is full of water and is a first-class color. Shen's mother grinded her teeth in distress, but Shen Yuru smiled indifferently, and took off a piece of jade pendant she was carrying and handed it to Shen Yueling, the third girl who had been silent, "When my sister hurts my sister, this is what I should do, and I don't have any other objects, just give this jade pendant to the third sister to wear casually, as long as you don't dislike it." ”

Grandma Shen had long been glued to Shen Yuejiao's wrist and couldn't move it, for fear that her girl would be forgotten, and she saw that Yueling also had a jade pendant, but the only regret was that this jade color was not as good as that bracelet, it was several grades worse, but she couldn't dislike anything anymore, so she had to laugh, "Ling'er doesn't thank you big sister." ”

Next, the meal is quite comfortable, and let's buy a quiet meal.

Shen Yueru comforted herself like this, and helped her mother back to the yard.

"Yuejiao, don't say this bracelet, the jade color is really good, it's a pity, there is only one, it would be nice if it was a pair." I heard Shen San's grandmother talking to her daughter from a distance, but Shen Yuejiao said without any appreciation, and deliberately raised her voice, "I don't want her to be reluctant to give it, if it weren't for the fear of shamelessness in front of so many people, she would be so generous, I don't believe it, besides, their family eats our family's white and lives in our family's house, and they are on an equal footing with me, even if they pay the room money in the guest house outside, it is cheap to ask her for a bracelet." ”

Dye Mo pursed her lips disdainfully, Shen's mother hung her head and complained to her daughter, "Yueru's bracelet is like what you usually feel distressed about, but it broke another one that year, you cried for a day, how did you give it to people, the jade pendant is just that, it was given by your grandmother, it is not worth anything, that bracelet, although my mother has never seen anything good, but I also know that it is a good thing, why did you give it to her, just give it worthless." Yue'e has been greedy for a long time, and you are not willing to give it. I knew that she was cheaper today, it was better to give it to your sister at the beginning, your father could still be happier, knowing that you are sensible and love your sister, but now that it is cheaper, the white-eyed wolf is still not good for you. It's useless, and you can't even keep a bracelet, so you can take it away. ”

"Yes, girl, the bracelet is ......"

Dye Mo muttered, the second half of the sentence was like a small mosquito humming, I couldn't really hear it, Shen Yueru drank lightly, "Dye ink shut up!" ”

Speaking of which, Shen Yueru is more distressed than her mother, the bracelet was given by the third prince, but people are under the eaves, and they always have to buy people's hearts.

What she is distressed about now is not the bracelet, but how to tell the third prince. The things he gave were a little unwilling, and he was a little unwilling, and his mood suddenly became low, Shen's mother thought that her daughter was also distressed about the bracelet, and she chattered for a while about the complaints of the people in this house, and they didn't talk again when they went back to the house.

As soon as he closed his eyes for a while, the door creaked open, and he came in with a smile on his face, put down the tea bowl and said impatiently, "Girl, what kind of strange thing happened to the third master?" ”

"Don't sell it to me, ghost girl!"

Shen Yueru stood up and took the tea bowl, scolded with a smile, poked the girl's forehead and urged, "Look at how excited you are, say it quickly." ”

Dyeing ink didn't sell Guan Zi, and said with a smile, "In the morning, the girl told me that the things carried into the third master's study, I am afraid that only Aunt Hua can touch them, so the slave went to find the boy at the corner door, and gave him some scattered silver, so that he deliberately said that he saw a box containing a lot of silver carried into the third master's study to let Aunt Hua know, and sure enough, Dongmei next to Aunt Hua listened to it happily and told Aunt Hua, lunch was dispersed, and Aunt Hua took a bowl of lotus seed soup to the third master's study. Later, the kid told me that he heard a loud slap outside, and then I saw Aunt Hua crying out of the study, her hair was crooked, and the five finger prints on the left side of her face were very obvious, and now I was only afraid of hiding in my room and crying, and then the third master of the box was quietly carried to the old lady's house, and the slave gave Dongmei a silver ingot, and I heard that the box full of gold and silver jewelry was opened, all of which were good things, and the third master saw Aunt Hua open the box as soon as he entered the house. Aunt Hua was still fantasizing about the benefits of being able to do it at the time, but who knew that the third master came up and gave her a slap to let her go, and told her not to carry the box. ”
