Chapter 601: Family Banquet

Chen Xiaoting was promoted to a thousand households, and such a sudden promotion set off a lot of waves in the north and south towns.

It is not for nothing that he has been promoted from a thousand households to the Zhenfu Division, but most of them are transfers at the level of thousands of households, but Chen Xiaoting directly stepped into the capital with a hundred households.

The most important thing is that Chen Xiaoting, the newly appointed deputy Qianhu, is too young.

Chen Xiaoting is only 24 years old this year.

At such a young age, he became the deputy of Jinyiwei, which is rare in the history of Jinyiwei, and most of those people still rely on their fathers to get high positions.

In addition, what is inconsistent with the speculation of Qianhu is that Deputy Jiang Qianhu, who Chen Xiaoting took over, was actually not squeezed home by him to hug his grandson.

Deputy Jiang's Thousand Households was promoted to Beicheng Thousand Households, which should have been the position of Deputy Thousand Households Zhao Zhijian, and Shen Yue also intended to promote him.

Therefore, everything that is happening at the moment is deviated from Shen Yue's preset direction, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

But no matter how uncomfortable he felt in his heart, his son-in-law was promoted, and Shen Yue had to express himself.

So in the end, he decided to hold a family banquet in the mansion, and the Shen family came to congratulate Chen Xiaoting.

Of course, at the promotion banquet held for Chen Xiaoting in the Shen family, Shen Yue also had his own plan, that is, to play the emotional card to Chen Xiaoting.

After returning home from the Zhenfu Division, Shen Yue immediately ordered to go down and hold a family banquet at home tonight.

Although the notice was hasty, the efficiency of the Shen family was very high, and they were in full swing to prepare in the afternoon.

When the sun was sinking in the west, all kinds of relatives of the Shen family, all who could come, rushed over.

In the inner courtyard, several tables were filled, but the most striking thing was the seats on the steps outside the main hall.

As the head of the family, Shen Yue sat on the top at this time, on his left was his brother-in-law, and on his right was Chen Xiaoting.

And next to Chen Xiaoting, it was Shen Quan who was sitting.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Shen Yue said with a smile on his face.

Shen Yue was the head of the family, and everyone had to listen to what he said, and the courtyard soon became quiet.

In addition to the family members sitting on the seats, more than a dozen servants and maidservants in the courtyard also looked at Shen Yue with blank eyes at this time.

"Today is a good day, and it is also a day for my son-in-law Chen Xiaoting to be promoted!" Shen Yue said in an impassioned tone.

Shen Yue's words were so affectionate that Chen Xiaoting's goosebumps were about to pop up when he heard it, while Shen Quan on the side lowered his head and drank wine.

It was also Shen Yue's words that made everyone in the courtyard wonder, there were many people who even just knew who Chen Xiaoting was, and it was even more unclear what Gao Sheng was.

At this time, Shen Yue stood up directly and pulled Chen Xiaoting to his feet.

"Xiaoting is young, so he inherited the emperor's grace and sat in the position of the deputy thousand households of our Jinyi Weibei City, he is really young and promising!" Shen Yue glanced at the people in the courtyard.

At this moment, everyone in the courtyard let out an exclamation, because Chen Xiaoting was too young.

It was also at this moment that Shen Quan, who was holding the wine glass, paused, and he was stabbed in the heart by these exclamations.

A country boy who was "despised" by him actually stepped into the status of a deputy thousand households in the capital, Shen Quan must feel uncomfortable in his heart, not to mention that he still wants it at this time

"My father-in-law praised me, if it weren't for your old man's support, there would be a son-in-law today!" Chen Xiaoting bowed and replied.

This made Shen Yue very useful, and secretly praised Chen Xiaoting for not forgetting his roots because of his promotion, which made the wisp of dissatisfaction in his heart dissipate a little.

After Shen Yue and Chen Xiaoting made another speech of "father's kindness and filial piety", they sat back in their seats, and the atmosphere of the banquet became harmonious and lively.

There will never be a shortage of people in this world, so not long after Chen Xiaoting sat down, there were people who came up to toast.

The scenes of these people were all said beautifully, and they praised Chen Xiaoting to the sky, but in the end it ended with the words "take care of me".

The men chatted enthusiastically, and the women in the small courtyard next to them had a relatively quiet atmosphere.

Shen Yue's wife, Tao Shi, sat on the top and looked at the side, Shen Yi's eyes were full of kindness.

According to the previous rules, Shen Yi was not qualified to go to this table, but should sit at the same table with Shen Jiao and others.

"Xiaoyi, how are you eating well these days? Is there anything uncomfortable? Shen Quan's wife, Ye Shi, asked carefully.

Before Shen Yi could answer, the Tao Shi at the top said: "If you are pregnant, you need to take more care, if you lack anything in the future, you just have to tell your sister-in-law!" ”

Being cared for by such a "hold in the palm of her hand", Shen Yi was a little flattered for a while, and her long-term cognition was not so easy to change.

Especially the main mother Tao, from childhood to adulthood, in Shen Yi's eyes, she played the role of a strict mother, which made her very afraid.

"Thank you mother, sister-in-law, I'm fine!" Shen Yi smiled slightly, holding a bowl of sour plum soup in her hand.

The Shen family, from the first day she came back to the present, she has seen the changes in her attitude, and she knows better why all this is.

Therefore, in order not to cause trouble to her husband, Shen Yi's answer was not related to cause and effect.

"We're all a family, and we'll see you when you say thank you!" Ye Shi frowned.

There was a happy laugh on the table on this side of the meal, and Wang Siniang, who was sitting on the table next to her, also smiled at this time.

"Siniang, your daughter has survived!" A woman at the same table sighed.

The people sitting at this table are all aunts and wives from various provinces, which can be said to be equal in status.

"As long as Xiaoyi is comfortable, I, as an aunt, will be satisfied!" Wang Siniang said calmly.

She was for Shen Yue

At the other table, all of them sat Shen Yi's little sisters, of course, most of them were concubines.

Among them, Shen Yue's youngest daughter, Shen Yao, was lying on the table, full of longing: "I really hope that my future husband will be as powerful as my third brother-in-law!" ”

Shen Yao is a concubine, although she is only thirteen years old now, she also knows what it means to be married, and she knows that she is likely to be used for marriage, so she has this vision.

"Phew...... Why is this dish so salty, the slaves in the back kitchen should be punished! Shen Jiao said after taking a sip.

Shen Yao didn't understand anything, so she really took the vegetables and sent them to her mouth, and then said, "Second sister, this is not salty!" ”

At this time, Shen Yun, who was sitting on the side, said: "Sister Yao, this dish is not salty, I think some people are sour!" ”

Shen Yun is the daughter of Shen Yue's second brother, and she is two months younger than Shen Yi in terms of age, but she has not dealt with Shen Jiao's sister since she was a child.

was ridiculed by Shen Yun like this, Shen Jiao was about to get angry on the spot, but was stopped by the sisters on the side.

Although Shen Jiao has a bad temper and offends some people, she always has her own close people in the mansion, and these people naturally won't let Shen Jiao find herself boring.

After all, Shen Yi's status now is much stronger than Shen Jiao's "broken household".

If Shen Yi had the intention of revenge, the Wu family that Shen Jiao married would be miserable, and if Shen Yi was more ruthless......

"Sister Yun, second sister, why is she sad?" Shen Yao said with an ignorant look, and she didn't know if it was real or pretended.

But whether it was pretended or not, Shen Yi couldn't sit down here at this time, so she got up and walked out of the courtyard.

Aunt Liu, who was on the side, frowned, although she was Shen Jiao's biological mother, she was not qualified to speak at this time.

But Shen Jiao didn't go through a few steps before she heard Tao say, "Shen Jiao, where are you going?" ”

Although it was a casual question, it made Shen Jiao's heart tremble, and she also had a shadow on Tao in her heart.

"Mother, my daughter wants to go out to breathe!" Shen Jiao said stiffly.

"Breathable? Is this taking your breath away? Dow said in a deep voice.

Shen Jiao was speechless for a while, and Tao brought her great pressure.

But I heard Shen Yi say: "Mother, second sister, if she wants to go, let her go!" ”

Tao glared at Shen Jiao before saying to Shen Jiao: "If you want to go out, go out!" ”

She just asked casually, she didn't care about Shen Jiao, the concubine, and Shen Yi said hello to her and let her go.

However, Shen Yi's relief made Shen Jiao feel even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't wait to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

When Shen Jiao passed behind her, Shen Yi could even hear the other party's rapid breathing, which made her feel even more comfortable.
