The old lady is very open-minded, although she was pinched by her daughter-in-law, and she was not happy, but she was softly begged by her granddaughter, so she put this matter down for the time being, and only focused on another thing - picking someone for Shu Manyao.

This person is not easy to pick, the old lady's requirements are high, one wants the other party to have outstanding character, the second is to have a great future, even if it is not ambitious now, it must be ambitious in the future, and the third is to get along with each other's family, not to mention that there is a bad mother-in-law in the family, that is, even the evil concubine can't have it, and the fourth wants the other party to be good-looking, too bumpy, she is afraid of scaring Shu Manyao.

This capital is prosperous and has a lot of population, but the family is right, and it happens to have children and grandchildren of appropriate age at home, and it is really difficult to find those four conditions. If the two families are interesting, they will meet to go to Baibai Buddha together, or go to the temple fair.

Shu Manyao has had a chance during this time, he has never visited the capital before, and now he has a chance, so he really can't wait to eat breakfast and dinner out every day.

It wasn't until April that the Chen family's eldest uncle and aunt arrived in the capital. There are a total of five masters, the eldest uncle's family of four, and the second uncle's family, and Chen Xuerong, the only concubine of the Chen family.

"Because the academy is relatively busy during this time, the second brother can't spare time for the time being, and he wants to explain everything over there. The second brother and sister had to take care of the second brother, and it happened that Hua Nan was sick and stayed with the second brother. The eldest uncle explained with a smile, realizing that she always floated to Shu Manyao's side, Shu Manyao was very excited, two lifetimes, the first time she saw someone from her grandfather's family, she couldn't express her joy.

She wanted to say hello to her uncle and aunt, but she was a little restrained, and even more worried and afraid, in case her uncle and aunt were angry that she had not contacted the Chen family before......

"This is Man Yao, right?" The eldest aunt knew her father-in-law's thoughts, and when she saw that the old lady and her father-in-law had stopped, she asked with a smile: "In the blink of an eye, they have grown so big, I think back then, when I first met Man Yao, she was so old." ”

The eldest aunt stretched out her hand and gestured, and the old lady smiled: "At that time, Manyao was just born, how old do you expect her to be?" Man Yao, why don't you hurry up and salute your uncle and aunt? ”

Shu Manyao hurriedly got up and went to Chen Jianming to salute first: "Man Yao has seen the eldest uncle, please say hello to the eldest uncle, over the years, Man Yao has never written to the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the two aunts to report safety, it is really rude, and ask the eldest uncle to forgive, Man Yao knows that it is wrong." ”

Saying that, the circles under his eyes were a little red, if he knew something about his previous life, even if he just asked someone to send a message to his uncle, I am afraid that he would not let his grandfather's family despair of him, right?

Chen Jianming was also a little excited, his Chen family has always had few girls, in the generation of the old lady above, there was only one girl in the family, and in the generation of Man Yao's mother, there was only one girl, and now in Chen Xuerong's life, there is still only one girl in the family. Therefore, girls have always been very precious and favored in their family.

When Man Yao's mother was a child, she also grew up under the love of her two brothers, and once she died, Chen Jianming and Chen Jianye were heartbroken. Back then, I wanted to take Shu Manyao to the Chen family to raise her, but in the end, the old lady was there, and Shu Chengye valued the only bloodline left by his beloved wife very much.

Moreover, that kind of thing happened to the Chen family back then, Chen Jianming and Chen Jianye wanted to take the old and young back to their ancestral hometown, Shu Manyao was too young to run around, so the brothers had to give up this plan.

Now that they meet, Chen Jianming looked at his niece's sister-like appearance, his heart was sour, and his eyes were red, so he hurriedly reached out to help Shu Manyao up, looked at it carefully, and nodded again and again: "Grow up, grow up, in a blink of an eye, you have grown so big." ”

The eldest aunt hurriedly pulled people to her side, and Shu Manyao also hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the eldest aunt, I have asked the eldest aunt to say goodbye, I have not been able to greet my uncle and aunt in person all these years, Man Yao is really ashamed, and I also asked my uncle and aunt to accept a gift from Man Yao." ”

As he spoke, he took a step back, bowed, kowtowed to Cheng Jianming three times, and then turned his head to Bai Wanwan. Bai Wanwan hurriedly helped people: "Hurry up, you kid, you are too solid-eyed, where can this kowtow be so hard, look at it, this is about to break the skin!" Quick, aunt, is there any ointment, let people apply some to Man Yao. ”

Shu Manyao smirked and shook his head: "Don't worry about the eldest aunt, it doesn't hurt at all, and I don't have any energy, but I was excited when I saw the eldest uncle and eldest aunt, and I couldn't control it, but there were some small things, and it really didn't hurt at all." ”

Bai Wanwan still asked the maid to take the medicine, personally applied it to Shu Manyao, and then pulled Shu Manyao to introduce a few juniors who had been standing aside: "This is your eldest cousin, who is fifteen years old this year, speaking of which, your eldest cousin was still born a year with you, but he is a few months older than you." This is your cousin, it is from your second uncle's house, your second uncle will also enter Beijing after a while, and he will come over when the affairs of the academy are taken care of, and you still have two cousins who have not come. This is your little cousin, just a year old, can't even speak, look, does he look very similar to your eldest uncle? ”

The nurse cleverly hugged her little cousin Chen Huashun to Shu Manyao, Chen Huashun's eyes were round, he didn't recognize life at all, and he was white and tender, which was very cute. Shu Manyao loved it very much after a glance, and reached out to hold the child into his arms: "Auntie, my little cousin is really similar to my uncle." ”

The eldest aunt nodded with a smile, seeing that she was very skilled in holding the child, she was a little puzzled at first, but then she understood after thinking about it: "I look at your action, but it is very good, I am afraid that I don't hug your brother less on weekdays, right?" ”

"My brother is also very cute." Shu Manyao said with a smile, reaching out and pulling a small bell from his waist to tease Chen Huashun: "Children are the cutest, I like children." ”

Bai Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled, and the old lady over there also pulled the juniors of the Chen family to give a meeting gift: "Man Yao is growing up fast these days, these children, they all grow up when they see the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they are all so big." I'm also old, and I can rest assured when I see you all coming out one by one, Jianming, after Hualiang, what are the regulations for the two of you? ”

"Auntie, I want to come out." Chen Jianming looked at the old lady with a somewhat firm expression: "I want to revitalize the Chen family." ”

Even though he and his younger brother had been lurking in their hometown for so many years, the idea of revitalizing the Chen family had not been dispelled at all.

The old lady nodded again and again: "It's good that you can think like this, I still thought that you two brothers only stayed at home and went clean, and then didn't want to go out, so I got a academy, and I didn't want to go to Jiangnan, nor did I want to go back to Beijing, and I thought about how to persuade the two of you." ”

Chen Jianming shook his head: "In the past, the timing was wrong, but now it's ......" said two words, and paused again, there are not only old ladies in the house.

But the old lady waved her hand indifferently: "Just say it, although Man Yao is young, when I talk to Chengye on weekdays, I don't avoid her, and Man Yao can occasionally say a few words." ”

As for Xu and Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu, they found an excuse to avoid it early on. Shu Chengye and Shu Zheming haven't come back yet, and in addition to the Chen family, there are only the old lady and Shu Manyao left in the house, so there is no need to shy away from it.

"It is not easy to come to the throne today, and the court was not stable a few years ago, if my second brother and I were out of office, I am afraid that the emperor would not dare to use it. Now, it's our right moment. "Although the saint is a tolerant person, he is not a temperless person, and the Chen family did not support it today, so there was that disaster. If they are filial piety and immediately fold their sons, I am afraid that they will feel that their Chen family will not be able to let go.

"During this time, I walked around the capital first, and it was best to be able to recover, if I couldn't recover, Hualiang had already been admitted to Xiucai, work hard this year, and try Chunqiu next year." Chen Jianming was not anxious, and said very calmly: "And our Chen family is not completely in decline, and the saint is not such a grudgeful character. ”

The old lady was busy thinking about Chen Jianming: "Duchess Weiguo can move around, there are also the Zhang family, and the Zhao family, have you prepared gifts?" Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, it is just right to send a festival gift to the past. If we're not ready, we still have some ...... in our house."

The eldest aunt hurriedly smiled and said, "Auntie, can I not let you take things for us, otherwise, is this festival still a gift from the Chen family?" I know that my aunt treats Jianming as her own son, but my aunt doesn't have to worry about these small things, I still have a big matter that I want to ask my aunt to give me an idea. ”

"What's the big deal?" The old lady also knew that what Bai Wanwan said was reasonable, even if it was a brother, the money had to be accounted for, it was okay to say it once or twice, but there were too many times, so it was not a shame? Therefore, the old lady also changed the topic, and the eldest aunt pointed at Chen Hualiang with a smile: "Hualiang is not young, and this lifelong event should also be decided." ”

The old lady looked at her and swept her eyes to Shu Manyao, and immediately understood what she meant, which was also in line with the old lady's thoughts, and the smile on her face was even brighter: "It's not small, Hua Liang is the eldest son of the Chen family, this marriage event can't be delayed." Speaking of which, our family Manyao, I haven't said anything about others, during this time, I was planning to pick a good one, but I can't wronged our family Manyao. ”

The two of them tacitly acquiesced, and their eyes swept over Chen Hualiang and Shu Manyao at the same time. Chen Hualiang had already heard Chen Jianming and Bai Wanwan talk about it at home, and his eyes swept over Shu Manyao, and his expression did not change much. Only Shu Manyao hugged Chen Huashun, held the bell and laughed and teased the child: "Cousin, look here, look here." ”

It seemed that she hadn't heard the words of the old lady and Bai Wanwan at all, and although Chen Xuerong was young, she was also Bingxue smart, and she came to Shu Manyao's side with a smile: "Cousin, why do you only like your cousin, don't you like your cousin and me?" ”

Shu Manyao was stunned, and in an instant, his face turned red, and Chen Hualiang hurriedly coughed: "Xue Rong, Mo Hu said, didn't you bring a gift for your cousin?" Hurry up and take it out for my cousin to see if she likes it. Chen Xuerong looked at Chen Hualiang and smiled, and then changed the topic: "Yes, I almost forgot, cousin, I brought you a lot of gifts, let's go take a look?" "
