The mansion was a little bigger than Chen Xiaoting imagined, and when he walked in with Shen Yi, he met a lot of busy servants and maids along the way.

"I've seen Miss Three......"

The maidservants in the inner courtyard are mainly responsible for taking care of the ladies and misses, so they all know Shen Yi, so they will be careful to salute.

At this time, in the inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion, the eldest lady Tao, who was Shen Yue's wife, also learned the news of Shen Yi's arrival.

As the main house of the Shen Mansion, Tao has his own bearing, so he has never deliberately targeted Shen Yi's mother and daughter from beginning to end.

To her, the mother and daughter are not a threat, so they are insignificant.

In the past, Shen Yi was ignored when she was there, but now that Shen Yi has returned from Yongxi, it is the same thing for her.

It's just that when he saw Shen Yi come to see him first, he praised this concubine in his heart for "knowing and knowing".

took Chen Xiaoting to the outside of the main hall, and Shen Yi immediately bowed: "Daughter to meet her mother!" ”

After all, it was Shen Yue's wife, and Chen Xiaoting also hurriedly greeted him: "Meet your mother-in-law!" ”

"No courtesy, no courtesy, all the way, Xiaoyi, you have worked hard!" Dow smiled slightly.

Although Dow gives people an easy-going feeling, the sense of alienation in her tone still sets off her superiority.

The next conversation was actually Shen Yi talking, and Chen Xiaoting didn't add a sentence from time to time.

In the end, it was Tao who spoke: "Okay, let's go see your fourth aunt!" ”

The so-called fourth aunt is naturally Shen Yi's biological mother, which is exactly what Shen Yi can't wait.

Bidding farewell to Tao, Chen Xiaoting and Shen Yicai went out of the room and met a young man.

This person is Shen Quan, the son of the Shen family, who is already twenty-eight this year, and the whole person looks extremely calm.

"It's the third sister who is back!" Shen Quan spoke first, and the majesty and easy-going tone in his tone were mixed, like the appearance of Fang Cai Tao.

"I've seen big brother!" Shen Yi bowed and said, and Chen Xiaoting also followed suit.

At this time, Shen Quan looked at Chen Xiaoting and said, "I have always heard my father praise you, and I will see you today...... Sure enough, Yu Yu Xuanang! ”

The heirs of the big family are different, Chen Xiaoting sighed secretly in his heart, and then answered: "My father-in-law praised me falsely, which made the eldest brother laugh!" ”

Shen Quan rarely showed a smile: "Be modest!" ”

didn't wait for Chen Xiaoting to answer, at this time, there was a sound of Tao asking in the living room behind, and Shen Quan said "goodbye" and left directly.

"My eldest brother is like this, don't think about it!"

Chen Xiaoting smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go!" ”

Rengui is self-aware, he Chen Xiaoting is the number one person in Luyang, but it is really nothing here in the capital, and it is impossible for others to revolve around him.

To be reasonable, he is a hundred households in the borderlands, and compared with the son of the Jinyi Guard, who commands the affairs, he is a small person in himself.

If he Chen Xiaoting was not Shen Yi's husband, maybe Shen Quan wouldn't have looked at him.

After Chen Xiaoting left here, and Shen Quan entered the hall over there, Tao asked, "What did your father say?" ”

"Father said that he would come back before dark, let the house be ready, and the second uncle will also come!" Shen Quan sat on a chair on one side and said.

Tao asked again, "Will your grandfather come over?" ”

Shen Quan said: "I shouldn't come over, his old man doesn't like to be lively......"

After a pause, Shen Quan continued: "Originally, according to Grandpa's wishes, he didn't even plan to hold this birthday banquet, but Father ...... him."

Before his son could finish speaking, Tao interrupted: "Your father has his difficulties, and your grandfather is old...... Do you understand? ”

Shen Quan nodded, he didn't plan to fight for anything about this, because he had already said what he should say before.

"You just met Shen Yi and them outside?" Dow asked again.

"Your father has often talked about this son-in-law, and you just met him...... How does it compare with what your father said? ”

This is a relatively abstract question, so Shen Quan relied on his own understanding and said: "This side alone is much stronger than my second brother-in-law!" ”

"What my father said must be true, his people must be meticulous in their work, and their abilities must be ......"

Speaking of this, Shen Quan picked up the teacup and said: "But after all, the people in the border area, their knowledge must be far from that of the heroes in the capital, and my father gave him the third sister...... It's a great courtesy! ”

The sense of superiority in these words, I have to say that Shen Quan is indeed very similar to his mother, and he naturally has a sense of superiority in peace.

"But after all, he has some skills, if your father wants to keep him in Beijing, you can also take him for your own use......"

"After all, even if you are your own family, you are more reliable than outsiders!" Dow said indifferently.

Shen Quan put down the teacup and said calmly: "Then it depends on whether he has the ability to beg his father to let him stay!" ”

After all, if you want to be a hundred households in the capital, it is not ordinary.

On the other side, Chen Xiaoting and Shen Yi finally came to Wang Siniang's small courtyard after turning a few corners in the mansion.

Thanks to the fact that the Shen Mansion is big enough, Wang Siniang can have her own small courtyard, although it is not big, but it can be peaceful.

At this time, Wang Siniang had also learned that her daughter was back, so Shen Yi arrived outside the courtyard gate, and Wang Siniang came out with two maidservants.

Shen Yi was about to salute, but was stopped by Wang Siniang's hand, and then said, "Let my mother take a look!" ”

After all, they hadn't seen each other for several years, and when the mother and daughter looked at each other, their eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

But Chen Xiaoting was left to dry, which made him not know what to do for a while.

It seems that from the time he entered the Shen Mansion to the present, he has been ignored, so he is used to it.

"Thin and thin, the northwest land is really not as good as the capital!" Wang Siniang's words.

This is also the first person to clearly despise the bitter cold of Yongxi, but Chen Xiaoting didn't dare to say anything.

"By the way, why didn't you bring Ruiling here?"

"Is he listening now? Have you grown taller? Do you remember my grandmother? ”

Wang Siniang's series of questions, Shen Yi could only answer them one by one, she could understand her mother's feelings.

"Madam, let's go in and talk!" Chen Xiaoting said embarrassedly.

This door is indeed not the place to speak, and Shen Yi also hurriedly said: "Mother, let's go in first, if you have anything to say, you can sit and tell your daughter slowly!"

Later, several of them entered the courtyard.

The next words were all from the mother and daughter, so Chen Xiaoting didn't interject very interestingly, because he couldn't interject in the first place.

The chat lasted until the afternoon, when someone came over to inform Wang Siniang and asked them to prepare for the family banquet in the evening.

Just came to catch up with the family banquet, and after asking Wang Siniang, Chen Xiaoting knew that there were still more people going to arrive tonight, and it was by no means a simple family meal together.

So what Shen Quan said was right, because of the limitations of knowledge and pattern, Chen Xiaoting's understanding of the family banquet in the capital was a little biased.
