Rather than saying that the Shen Mansion is a high-rise compound, it is better to say that it is a miniature copycat version of the Forbidden City, the architectural style is to pursue the gentle and quiet beauty of the pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are a lot of high-walled fortresses, as if it is the setting of a military town, and there are more than 2,000 servants and guards, not including the old mothers and maids who clean and serve.

Shen Xing stood on the top of his own tower, looking at the beautiful night view of Nanjing City, and his heart was agitated.

"Husband, Jiangnan is so beautiful, the scenery is just like the one in the painting, if the whole Ming Dynasty was the same as here, how good it would be!" Seeing that Shen Xing didn't answer and took out a cigarette to smoke, she snatched it up. "Didn't you tell your father-in-law that smoking is harmful to your body when you were eating? How to get to yourself don't count! The red lady said and slowly stuffed her eyes back into the box.

Shen Xing smiled helplessly, he had been smoking cigarettes for many years, not to mention a lot of troubles, but it didn't seem good to let these daughters smoke with him, even if he was disgusted, he didn't dare to bring it up. "The lady is right, slowly smoke less in the future! Are you still satisfied with this home? ”

"Young master, it's too big, haven't you finished shopping in an afternoon? I heard that there are two northern and southern opera troupes in the house? You can watch the show every day from now on! Qiu'er and Chun'er are usually the most playful, and when it comes to the Shen family's troupe, they feel a little unstoppable, and Shen Xing is also very curious, his father actually raised hundreds of various opera performers.

"Young master, there's nothing strange about this, big families will more or less have some singing songs, and the Shen family is also a leader in the business world in Jiangnan, so they can't fall into the limelight!" Shen Da smiled and poured a cup of tea for Shen Xing, and took out a post from his arms. Shen Xing actually had doubts about Shen Da's identity for a long time, although he didn't understand the specific system in ancient times, he also knew that a housekeeper was relatively very important, especially a big business family like his own family.

But how could Shen Da, who had never understood as a housekeeper, be able to hang around him all the time? And if you accompany yourself to go out for half a year, isn't your dad afraid of delays? Knowing that when he came back yesterday, he completely understood that Shen Da, an old thing, was not a top butler in the Shen Mansion, but to put it bluntly, he was his senior follower, and he just hung the name of a personal butler.

Because the Shen Mansion has not a hundred or fifty like him, but because of his ignorance and the importance of him, this old boy is now a long boat and a tall boat, just like the momentum of an authentic housekeeper in the mansion. It's really in response to an old saying, and one person gets the way, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Shen Xing suffered a lot of criticism from his father for this, because in terms of personal ability, Shen Da really didn't have anything outstanding, he was the only one who could use it when he came to his side, and secondly, it was also for the sake of living and dying together several times, from a long-term perspective, loyalty seems to be a little more important than ability, I hope this old thing can continue not to be lost in power and money.

Shen Da saw Shen Xingmeng looking at him in a daze, and he was also panicked! It seems that the matter of arranging work for a few relatives in private has failed, and he is actually unwilling in his heart, but now he is also a celebrity around the young master, and there is no need to say how high this status is, and the threshold of the family is about to be trampled by gifts. I really couldn't stand the sophistication of human feelings, so I reluctantly selected a few direct relatives with some ability to arrange them into the textile factory in Shanghai.

"Whose post is this?" "It's from my aunt's family, Wei Guogong asked someone to send it and said that there is something important to discuss!" Shen Xing took the post and read it briefly and said a few polite words, the descendants of the founding hero Xu Da sound very famous, but he has been in the Ming Dynasty for some days, and he wondered how his father was so capable of marrying his daughter to Wei Guogong.

Later, I slowly understood that the old Xu family had long been no longer brilliant, and some were just the name of a Guogong, especially the Wei Guogong was very worthless, because when the Jingjing was difficult, the Wei Guogong was opposed, and Ming Chengzu also left a name for Xu Da's sake, and the other faction of the Xu family who supported him divided into Dingguo Gongshi to live in Beijing.

"Did you hear anything? The eldest brother-in-law is invited to discuss something! Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled and he took a few steps closer, "Young master, the little one also heard a few words from Young Master Liu Tie, it seems that the people from the Nanjing garrison eunuch dragged the eldest aunt to talk about weapons, and I don't know if it's the truth!" Those guys who drank the blood of the soldiers must have blushed when they looked at it! ”

Shen Xing nodded after hearing this, but didn't say anything more! After chatting happily with a group of girls, I went back to my room to sleep.

The next day, I slept until the sun and ate something simply and hurried to the Guogong Mansion to visit, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, this sentence is not wrong at all, just look at this mansion occupies the best part of Nanjing City, you know how glorious the ancestors of the Xu Mansion are.

When the housekeeper of the Xu family heard that it was Shen Xing's attitude, he didn't have to say anything, nodded and led the way, and his eyes looked at those dozen or so boxes of portable gifts from time to time.

"Is Brother Xing here? Is your brother-in-law entertaining? Why did you bring so many things! It's all your own family, how do you say hello to your sister? ”

Dignified atmosphere, at first glance, it reveals the demeanor of the second aunt, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the headdress is carefully carved to show the ** of the Guogong Mansion everywhere, although she still pays attention to the majesty of her Duchess in her gestures.

Shen Xing bent down and saluted, and this eldest sister also accepted it calmly because her status was there. "Eldest sister, the younger brother came in a hurry, there is no preparation, it is just some fresh things, for you and your brother-in-law to see a novelty, and a few carts of green vegetables are transported behind for people to send to the door of the side yard, all fresh and tight!"

Hearing that there were still several cartloads of priceless fruits and vegetables, the Duchess finally didn't serve the shelves anymore, and hurriedly helped Shen Xing up in person. "I'm thin, I'm thin, I feel sorry for my eldest sister, it seems that you really suffered a lot when you went to the capital this time! Father and mother must also be uncomfortable, don't run out after listening to the eldest sister! ”

After Shen Xing sat down, he whispered and said some things on the road and some things in the capital, and his eldest brother-in-law walked into the hall side by side with a person wearing eunuch clothes, and the eldest sister Shen Yingdi hurriedly got up from his seat and saluted, and Shen Xing also stood respectfully to greet him.

"You don't have to be polite to your own family, madam, you instruct your subordinates to prepare a banquet, Brother Xing has worked hard all the way, and I want to have a few drinks with him for my husband in the evening!" "There's a Duchess of Laoguo!" The eunuch arched his hand and said, and Shen Yingdi returned the salute and retreated.

"This must be Uncle Shen, who is powerful and destroys the dog, Han Zanzhou, the chief eunuch of the Nanjing garrison of the miscellaneous family! Cooperate with the garrison, General Ma Lun was unable to come in person due to official duties, and I hope that Uncle Shen will forgive me! ”
