Chapter 1 Happy Occasions in the Family

Next Chapter

In mid-March, Beijing was just showing a bit of spring.

Outside a large mansion, there are many cars and horses, and the guests who get off the car are all rich. When I looked up, I saw a plaque of "Han Mansion" hanging in the middle of the gatehouse, and a row of festive red lanterns was hung up. The guests followed the errand inside, passing through the courtyards and porches, all decorated with colored stripes and red lanterns. When I entered the hall, there was a bandstand in the center, and people gathered around me, all listening to piano music.

A young woman with a beautiful face wore a narrow silk flag shirt with a red peony pattern on a black background, and her head was tied with gold toad beads, and a Spanish hard-shell fan-faced brand flower was inserted obliquely. Because he walked around, he still had a shawl with red flowers on a white background on his arm.

The music stopped, applause rang out, but the young woman kept her eyes on what she was looking for.

Someone came up to compliment her: "Grandma, your family is really talented, Miss Fifth will probably be a doctor of music in the future." ”

This woman, known as the eldest and youngest grandmother, is named Shen Chuyun, and she has already smiled at this moment and chatted with the guests warmly.

I saw the band on the stage, and young men and women walked onto the dance floor one after another, accompanied by music.

Shen Chuyun didn't have the heart to dance, so he hurriedly turned out of the house, wanting to find someone in the new house behind.

Last night, Shen Chuyun agreed with her husband Han Zhongqiu that no matter how much trouble he made when he was looking for flowers and asking willows outside, he couldn't be too out of line to do happy events at home, and he had to stay at home honestly. However, Shen Chuyun sent Mrs. Kong out, and when she came back, she couldn't see Han Zhongqiu's shadow.

Regarding the relationship between husband and wife, Shen Chuyun is already bearish, and his heart is dead. But no matter how much the lover outside mixes the oil in honey, the face of the brother should always be given. If Han Zhongqiu refuses to make this face today, it is not her Shen Chuyun who can't hold her face alone. This is the Foreign Minister's Palace, how many eyes are staring at the joke!

After passing through several blue corridors and sills, I have arrived outside the door of the new house.

All of them were friends of the groom's officials, and they all laughed happily, crowding the new house. I heard a shrill voice inside crying out dissatisfiedly: "Oh, please get out of the way." You people are also in a hurry to fight, and you don't have eyes on people. ”

Someone teased her: "Second sister-in-law, you have to be careful when you speak." Today is a good day for Zhong Kun, if you don't want to fight. ”

When Shen Chuyun heard this, she knew that her second brother and sister Liang Xiuzhen couldn't stay in the new house and squeezed out against the crowd. temporarily put aside the clouds in her heart, and quickly changed from a frustrated wife to a big family eldest daughter-in-law who took care of the overall situation. squeezed forward and took her hand, and in order to coax her to be happy, he also affectionately called "second sister".

then pulled Liang Xiuzhen back to his room and sat on the sofa next to him.

Liang Xiuzhen was so angry that she grinded her teeth, and kept complaining that the third lady in the family, Han Yanqin, was too proud today.

Shen Chuyun smiled and persuaded: "Okay, okay, the wood is already in the boat, why are you angry?" It's a good day after all, and what you say is really uncomfortable to listen to. The mother is still there, which makes her old man unhappy, and she has to find fault again. ”

Liang Xiuzhen disagreed, and said with a sneer: "Sister-in-law, don't be careful, I'll just say a word about the matter, it's not your cousin who suffers, naturally you can do it and say the past, but I can't." ”

The cousin in her mouth is the pearl of the vice minister of finance, named Teresa Teng, who only came back from studying abroad last year. It was originally said that the fourth child of the Han family, that is, Han Zhongkun, the groom official of today's wedding, is the same age and family background as her. And because Liang Xiuzhen heard a saying from somewhere, a person's life can be matched into a marriage, that is, a great goodness has been accumulated, and there will be blessings in the future. Therefore, she, the matchmaker, is more attentive than the person concerned, and she has to drink this bowl of winter melon soup.

Who knows, halfway to kill today's heroine Xiang Lan. The bride's family runs a small factory of one or twenty people, and because her father encountered some financial problems, he came north to find a way out, and took his daughter to play by the way.

This is how all the coincidences in the world come about, and the way they are looking is the third aunt of the Han Mansion. Coming and going, this leads to a good relationship.

Shen Chuyun unconsciously thought of his marriage path, so he smiled and muttered: "Actually, in this year, marriage freedom is always good. Although relatives help to pull the strings, it is more reliable to know the roots. But fate is a matter of two people, and no matter how well others think about them, it won't help. He sighed heavily.

Liang Xiuzhen wanted to answer, turned her head to glance, and saw that Shen Chuyun's eyes were slightly red. Because I thought that Shen Chuyun's marriage was also arranged by relatives in the family at the beginning, but now there is a crisis. Although she felt that these were two different things, she couldn't afford to continue to talk and cause her to cry, so she swallowed the words in her mouth and just remained silent.

###

The day's excitement turned to silence, and before I knew it, the wall clock on the white wall struck twelve times.

Shen Chuyun was in the quilt, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. When the bell struck for the last time, he sat up and shouted loudly: "Zhang, Zhang." ”

"It's coming, what's wrong with the young grandmother?" Zhang's mother was buttoning the buttons indiscriminately, and at the same time ran to see her in a panic from the lower room.

The electric lights in the room had been turned on, Shen Chuyun was only wearing thin pajamas, white satin slippers under her feet, and the floor was trampled by her.

When Zhang's mother looked at it, most of the beds were straight, and she guessed what she was angry about, but she still pretended to be stupid and asked, "Grandma, where are you uncomfortable?" ”

Shen Chuyun took out a business card booklet from the bedside drawer and threw it on the ground: "Call my family to find it, first go to the fox friends and dog friends to ask, and after asking, I will go to the alley and Sister Yao's house one by one." When I found the eldest young master of your family, I told him that if I didn't want to go to the Venerable Master to reason with him early in the morning, I would come back to negotiate with me before dawn! ”

"This ......" Although Zhang's mother squatted down to pick it up, she had her own ideas in her heart.

In the end, it is not all Shen Chuyun's fault that it is the day of the fourth room, but she is the eldest daughter-in-law, so she should take care of Han Zhongqiu's face as the eldest son, and it is better not to make trouble in the middle of the night. However, what kind of stubborn donkey temper this young grandmother is, Zhang's mother has already learned it, so it is better to do what she says. Han Zhongqiu is just at odds with his wife, but he doesn't care about his parents and brothers, he should always know that he is the first to lose today, and he won't be noisy when he comes back in a while.

After a round of phone calls, they all said that they had never seen Han Zhongqiu.

Shen Chuyun listened in the inner bedroom, just sighed deeply, she didn't even have the strength to scold now. In fact, she already had an idea in her heart, and Han Zhongqiu was in a good old family nine times out of ten. It's just thinking about a couple of husband and wife love, and I don't want to see him so dead all at once, so I asked elsewhere first, maybe he was just pulled away by a friend. But the truth slapped her loudly.

"Don't be so troublesome, just find Chen Yiman."

Zhang's mother held the handset of the earpiece, and was so frightened by Shen Chuyun's roar that she was so busy that she couldn't respond. Rao was so nervous, the number of Chen Yiman's apartment still appeared clearly in Zhang's mother's mind all of a sudden.

By the time Han Zhongqiu dragged his steps and went home full of alcohol, it was already after three o'clock, and the glass window was already clouded with light.

First, Shen Chuyun asked Zhang's mother for a cup of coffee. Han Zhongqiu was about to come first, Shen Chuyun raised his eyes and glanced at it, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his mouth: "What a busy man, I won't come back if I don't invite you." ”

"There is a happy event at home, a few friends are in one place and lively, what are you stingy, you have to come back!" As he spoke, Han Zhongqiu took off the printed blue satin coat and threw it lazily on the bed. Then, he also lay down, spitting wine in his mouth.

Mama Zhang was in a hurry at this time and came in with a cup of steaming coffee.

Shen Chuyun took her eyes and motioned for her to go out after putting her things, then got up and stood in front of the bed, and asked coldly: "There is indeed a happy event at home, but you are not a groom official after all, why are you busier than others?" Are those friends of yours boyfriends or girlfriends, and what kind of hilarious method is it? ”

Han Zhongqiu closed his eyes and didn't speak.

Shen Chuyun didn't expect him to answer, and sneered and answered for him: "I don't think it's the trouble on the card table and wine table, but the trouble in the hot quilt, right?" ”

Han Zhongqiu didn't defend himself, silence was the answer, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.

When Shen Chuyun heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink, and tears fell down: "You can ignore my dignity, but if you do this, where will you put the fourth child and his wife, and where will you put your parents?" ”

Annoyed by hearing this, Han Zhongqiu also shouted: "Don't talk to me like that, I went to some women's promotion association, I didn't learn it, I learned some empty words like dignity and equality." Our house just needs a new faΓ§ade to decorate in order to win the support of the new scholars. Otherwise, the father's two aunts and wives would be unequal in the first place, and the mother would not be dignified! As he spoke, he glanced at him blankly, yawned nonchalantly, and simply kicked off his shoes and rolled into the bed, intending to sleep again.

It's like this every time, using the problem of the father's concubine in the family as a shield. Since all such shameless things have been said and things have been done, they are just lying and prevaricating. The face was ripped off by Han Zhongqiu himself, so it can't be blamed that Shen Chuyun turned his face and didn't recognize people.

Thinking of this, Shen Chuyun turned around and took a set of clean clothes and hurriedly went to change them. When she came out of the bathroom after washing, she looked up at the clock, and it happened to be just after four o'clock. Han Yansun, the parent of this family, always gets up at this time, first does a set of Tai Chi, and then goes to work in the yamen.

Along the corridor, turning out of the moon gate, the east was already white, and I saw that a light had already been lit in the new house opposite.

Zhang's mother chased her out, and saw Shen Chuyun looking at the lights of the new house, and her heart could be regarded as having a way to turn around. With a smile on his face, he stepped forward and said softly: "Grandma Da Shao, I heard that the new young grandma is very filial, knowing that the old man got up at four o'clock, and also set the alarm clock to four o'clock, I'm just afraid that I'm washing up at this time." ”

Hearing this, Shen Chuyun's shoe tip tilted slightly to the side, and he hesitated a little.

At this time, I went to Han Yansun to talk about Han Zhongqiu's problem, but I was afraid that it was inappropriate. Because since the elders have come out to control them, they are ready to say the words thoroughly, and it is not a problem that can be solved in ten or twenty minutes. In case the bride also passes at this time, she will hear about the scandal in the family. On the first day of marriage, people have family problems, which is not good for anyone.

Mother Zhang saw that her body had slowly turned around, so she stepped forward at the right time to hold her and persuaded: "Grandma, let's go back, the days will be long." ”

What this mother means is that when the days are long, there will always be a day when the hardships are sweet.

But Shen Chuyun thought, yes, the days are still long, and there will be more torture in the future.
