"Does the second son like the girl in the backyard?" And at this moment, in the main hall, Shen Steallan also happened to worship the ancestors, so the old servant withdrew the table and began to keep the New Year.

One of the stewards of the Shen family, Shen Gui, a confidant of his mother-in-law Zhang, accompanied him to say some trivial matters, and asked coldly as he spoke, "Although there are slaves and maids, whether men and women are intimate or not, and the New Year is left behind...... The second son must also have some thoughts? ”

Shen Weilan glanced at him and said, "This is what my mother asked you to ask?" ”

"Madame said that you are this age, and you should have someone around you who knows the cold and the hot." Shen Gui also did not shy away from saying that he was the son of the Shen family, watching Shen Stealing Lan grow up, unlike ordinary servants, he had dignity in front of the master in the mansion, this kind of thing can be said, "And the matter of Miss Song Family, although it was not officially opened in Yingtianfu, but because of the matter of Kaihe, everyone is very concerned about this area, and there is some speculation." Mrs. said that although the family no longer planned to marry the Song family, there was no need to make Miss Song lose face because of this. So I plan to put your marriage on hold, so I'm afraid that you will be running around here for the past two years and no one will take care of you. ”

Shen Weilan said indifferently: "My mother works hard enough to take care of the backyard every day, so I don't bother her with trivial matters here." ”

Shen Gui knew that this was because the Zhang family was troublesome, and he smiled: "My mother is worried." ”

"How's the East Palace doing?" Shen Weilan didn't want to talk about this issue more, so he asked, "How many times have you faced the saint?" ”

"You also know the body and bones of His Royal Highness the Prince." The future of the East Palace is closely related to the Shen family, and it is also very important, Shen Gui did not dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "It is not very convenient to enter and exit, because of the prison country, even if His Majesty has returned to Yingtianfu now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always assists in various political affairs, except for the previous court, he is very busy in private, so he rarely goes to see His Majesty alone." ”

"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inconvenient, isn't there still the eldest grandson of the emperor? His Majesty's love for the emperor's eldest grandson, who doesn't know about the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? Before the personal expedition to Saibei, he even let the emperor's eldest grandson sit in Shuntian Mansion......"

Shen Gui said this, showing a hint of a smile, "The master of the family said that if there are no accidents, there should be no twists and turns." In the end, the prince is both a grandson and a long, and there is no fault. ”

Shen Weilan nodded: "It's better to be cautious." ”

"This is natural." Shen Guidao, "Such a big thing, before the dust settles, who can really relax?" ”

Speaking of this question, he remembered one thing, "In the next year, the emperor's eldest grandson will be thirteen, isn't it okay to discuss marriage?" The selection of the concubine must be decided by His Majesty. However, the words of the side concubine...... The crown princess asked the lady in private. ”

Shen Weilan said: "What does my mother think? ”

"Madame hesitated a little." Shen Gui said, "The eldest grandson of the emperor is the son of the crown princess, and he has always been filial, and he is also very close to his aunt. If our young lady enters the East Palace, she will definitely be treated kindly. But the old lady said that if the young lady in the family has nothing to do in the future, or only one princess can be returned, once there is an heir, maybe she will have to stir up the troubled waters again! This kind of intrigue is mixed up a lot, and it is inevitable that he will miss, but he still refuses the princess's kindness. ”

But Madame thought that if she missed this time, Madame and these people would be fine. After a few years, I'm afraid that I will have to part with the royal family. ”

Shen Weilan said lightly: "Even now, we are just closer to the East Palace, with the entire royal family, and not serious monarchs and ministers?" Abide by the way of the monarch and the minister, what do you talk about and not give birth? ”

Shen Gui coughed dryly: "Of course, the prince has nothing to worry about with you, Madame is worried about other sons in the final analysis." ”

There are five brothers in this generation of the Shen family, and there are three descendants, the son Shen Ronglan, the second son Shen Zhaolan, and the fourth son Shen Xunlan. The prince who inherited the title was skillful and did not fall into the door; The second son has been strictly trained since he was a child, and Yunwen Yunwu is the most anticipated heir in the family; However, it may be that the attention of the male elders has been on these two children for many years, and the fourth son, Shen Xunlan, is not very reliable, and the bamboo strips that beat him have broken several bundles over the years, and he is still strong and has grown into a complete squirrel.

If you can't watch it for three days, you will get into trouble, so that the old lady of the Shen family was angry, and threw people to Zhuangzi two years earlier, and ordered not to leave Zhuangzi for half a step!

Although this move avoided the family being dragged into the water by unscrupulous descendants in such a turbulent time, it also made the Zhang family, who was a mother-in-law, very distressed.

wants to send his daughter to the East Palace to be a side concubine for the eldest grandson of the emperor, and eighty percent is planning for this little son, so that when he is down-and-out in the future, he can rely on the emperor's nephew to get some light.

"Now that the elders are here, my mother is worried that my eldest brother and I will not take good care of my younger brothers in the future?" Shen Weilan knew in his heart, so he said, "What's more, the fourth brother is still our younger brother?" ”

"Of course, Madame knows that the prince and you are both filial." Shen Gui hurriedly said, "It's that the fourth prince has always been a little naughty, and Madame is also afraid that you two will always worry too much about cleaning up for him in the future, and I want to share your worries with the two of you." ”

Shen Weilan said lightly: "There is no need for this. If our two siblings are annoyed by the fourth brother, could it be that the cousin of the emperor's eldest grandson is more spoiled by the fourth brother? It's better for his own brother to support himself, but the fourth brother's temper really has to be sharpened, after all, even if he is a royal disciple, if he does something wrong, he will be punished. ”

Shen Guilian claimed that it was, and said: "The fourth prince was instructed by the old lady, and in the past two years in Zhuangzi, he has been a lot quieter. The impetuousness in the child has gone a lot. ”

"Grandfather is old, my father is busy, my mother's heart is too soft, the fourth brother's side, I have to let the eldest brother watch more." Shen Weilan said, "He's still a little afraid of the eldest brother, let the eldest brother reason with him more, maybe he can screw it over." ”

Although his eldest brother Shen Ronglan has a seemingly polite name, he actually has a very hot temper, and he is the kind that doesn't fit his words. It's like this outside, and it's pretty much the same at home.

Shen Steallan has always been respectful to his eldest brother because of his early court training, and he has acted carefully, and he has just returned it.

Shen Xunlan has been stubborn and pampered since he was a child, which makes Shen Ronglan unaccustomed to it, even if he is stopped by the Zhang family, he has not been beaten less, and the kid who beat him has a shadow on Shen Ronglan, and he trembled and panicked when he saw this big brother.

So after Shen Xunlan went to Zhuangzi, the Zhang family never let Shen Ronglan visit, for fear that this son would not be at ease in Zhuangzi and would be beaten to death after being seen by the eldest son.

At this moment, Shen Gui hesitated: "The prince has begun to assist the Hou Ye, and he is also very busy. ”

"No matter how busy you are, how can you not have time to visit your brother?" Shen Weilan looked at him and said calmly, "This is also my own brother's bother, changing to an outsider, who is impatient to care?" Look at Ah Jing, he still grew up with me, when he acted absurdly, he persuaded and persuaded him, but he really refused to listen, and he would not say that he would try his best to stop it...... At most, stay away, so as not to be dragged down. ”

Shen Gui thought about it and understood, bowed his head and said, "What the second son said is that the old slave will tell his wife after he goes back. ”

Since these four sons can't count on the discipline of their two elder brothers in the future, how can they stop the prince from visiting him at this time?

It is necessary to know that when you meet, even if you are close to each other, you will inevitably be emotionally estranged.

Looking back and waiting for the elders to be gone, how much more love can you have for your younger brother?

"What about the marriages of the other siblings?" Shen Weilan let out an "um" and asked about the current situation of the other siblings.

The Shen family is now considered to be prosperous, and after greeting them one by one, the sky will be bright.

The rules at this time, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the first day of the new year, are to worship the ancestors, do not go to relatives, and will come to the door to pay respects from the second day of the new year.

However, Xi Fuwei lived with Shen Weilan, and in the middle of the morning, she came over to pay New Year's greetings in advance.

By the way, I talked about going to Yu Kedi's house in the second year of junior high school.

Shen Steallan accepted her salute, and also casually sealed a pair of gold collars, and said: "There are a lot of pastries in the kitchen, you don't have to go out to buy them when you go, the shops are almost closed at this time, and it is estimated that there is nothing to sell, just pick some from there." ”

Xi Fuwei thanked him, said some auspicious words and retired.

When she came to visit the New Year, she went to the plain clothes, changed into a new and bright dress, and applied some fat powder, lining the snowy scenery outside, which was very delicate and beautiful.

After the person left, Shen Guidu couldn't help but say: "This girl really doesn't look bad, she has a bearing in every move, and she is not much worse than the nobles of Ying Tianfu." ”

Shen Weilan laughed at this: "Many of the noble daughters of Ying Tianfu were promoted by their father and brother with the skill of the dragon, and it has only been a few years since they were developed? Where can everyone develop a good temperament? Although this Xi family was only born as a squire, his ancestors also had a big member of the herding side, and because of his thin people, he was raised by his father as a son since he was a child. ”

Shen Gui said: "Yes." However, the identity of a woman in these years is closely related to her father and brother. This girl's background is not very high, her father and brother are gone, even if there is a nephew, it is a pity that she is a little blessed. ”

Having said that, but Shen Steallan knew that this was to see that he praised Xi Fuwei and reminded himself that no matter how good Xi Fuwei was, her identity was here, at most she would be a concubine, and it would be impossible to officially marry.

As for the rule stipulated by the dynasty, the court officials cannot accept the son of a good family as a concubine...... Anyway, Xi Fuwei is not using her original identity now, even if it is, it is very convenient to do this kind of thing.

It's just a scene.

"How can men alone be pervasive?" Shen Weilan laughed and said indifferently, "I have my own measure." ”

Shen Gui was not verbose, and copied his hand and said: "The slave is too talkative, and the second son never wants anyone to worry about it." ”

Just as he was saying this, someone outside came in with snowflakes, holding a letter in his hand: "Second son, there is an urgent message from Tianfu." ”
