"Old lady, Shen gives you a glass." Shen Zhongxing said that, and drank the wine in the cup.

It's not a loss to the Junhou Mansion, it's really a good wine.

But Mrs. Xie was perfunctory with a lack of interest: "The old body is unwell, replace the wine with tea, and I hope the patriarch will not dislike it."

"Where is the old lady?" Shen Zhongxing said with a flattering face.

After the birthday banquet ended, Shen Zhongxing, who was still in the capital, did the first thing to do was to pay respects to the old lady who was still Xie.

After waiting for a few days, I finally looked forward to today's dinner.

Shen Zhongxing looked at the old lady Xie in front of him, wearing a pine crane prolonging jacket, wearing a gold-inlaid jade forehead, and a pair of bracelets on his hands that were transparent and full of green, at first glance, it was an old jade.

Because of the daily brocade clothes and jade food, Mrs. Xie is not convinced of old age, and loves bright makeup, in the eyes of Patriarch Shen, it is also a half-old charm.

is this set of dress, and now the declining Shen family, the Grange shop can't afford to buy half a year's revenue.

It can be seen that his cousin is really comfortable in the capital.

As a side branch of the Shen family, but Shen Huaiyue's biological father was incompetent, and Shen Zhongxing, who was raised in Shen Bo's Mansion since he was a child, never thought that the most important person in the Shen family now is Shen Xiuxue, the second lady who is not taken seriously.

is much better than the widowed husband in the Shen family's old mansion, Xie Laotaijun's sister-in-law Shen Xiuhuang.

Rao is a philistine like Shen Zhongxing, and he can only sigh that the world is unpredictable.

"This is Miss Xie, Shen gives you a drink." Shen Zhongxing looked at Xie Jin, who had an extraordinary bearing, and naturally had the idea of clinging.

"Jin'er is still a child, it is inconvenient to drink, please forgive the patriarch."

Xie Jin didn't speak, and quietly watched Old Taijun Xie speak for himself.

Although the Shen family is a small family in decline, it is the mother family of Mrs. Xie, and Shen Zhongxing, as the patriarch, although he is the side family to preside over the feed, in the end he is also the same generation of Mrs. Xie.

Shen Zhongxing's appearance of currying favor with Xie Jin is very similar to all the subordinates who want to curry favor with the Xie family during the New Year.

Xie Jin is naturally fine, but in the eyes of Mrs. Xie, her mother's family is so small, and she can't help but think of the humble time when she was young.

Especially in front of Xie Jin, who she is most disgusted with.

Therefore, Mrs. Xie did not expect Xie Jin to block Shen Zhongxing's thoughts of wanting to cling.

"Jin'er is young and inconvenient to drink, so he replaces wine with tea, and thanks to the kindness of the patriarch."

Xie Jin gave back to Shen Zhongxing without humility or arrogance, and did not completely turn people away, after all, this person will still be useful in the future.

"Miss Xie is polite." Shen Zhongxing saw Xie Jin's feedback, and immediately drank the wine in the cup happily.

Shen Zhongxing has been in charge of the Shen family for many years, and he is also an old fox, how can he not see that Mrs. Xie Feihuang Tengda looks down on his mother's family.

Even Shen Huaiyue doesn't have much respect for himself, he doesn't have respect for his elders, and he only regards himself as the housekeeper of his Shen Mansion.

Although Shen Huaiyue was on the seat, his face was cold and indifferent, and he looked high, as if he was the son of Xie Fu, and he was a relative who came to the door.

This white-eyed wolf probably forgot that his father, who spent all his days and drank everything, was useless, and if he hadn't managed it conscientiously, the Shen family's foundation would have been finished long ago.

Without the identity of the prince of Bofu, even with the support of Old Taijun Xie, he is nothing in this capital.

"Patriarch Shen, you eat vegetables, these are Huai'an dishes that have been carefully improved according to Taijun's taste, I think it is because they are in line with your taste."

And in the whole table, the only one who greeted Shen Zhongxing with a smile was Xu Ping'er.

In one sentence, he not only expressed his concern for Mrs. Xie in his daily service, but also expressed his concern for the arrival of Patriarch Shen.

Xu Ping'er spoke softly, and the girl was gentle, which made Shen Zhongxing, who was not welcomed, very useful.

Since she wants to strive to marry Shen Huaiyue as his wife, she naturally has to be accepted by the people of the Shen family.

"You are Ru Meng's daughter, just like Ru Meng when she was a child." Shen Zhongxing asked while reading Xu's mother's name: "I heard that Ru Meng also lives in Xie Mansion, why didn't he come to see my uncle today." ”

"My mother and son have always been bad, and it has been even more difficult to get out of bed these days, please forgive Patriarch Shen." Xu Ping'er said.

"It's okay, your mother is too...... Ay...... Fortunately, I have a well-behaved daughter like you. ”

Xu Ping'er saw that Shen Zhongxing was quite satisfied with herself, and knew that her goal today had been achieved.

"What Patriarch Shen said is that Miss Xu and Shen Gongzi are both childhood sweethearts, and they are both raised under Cunshan Hall, one serves his mother properly, and the other has always been filial to his elders. Grandmother's teachings were excellent. Xie Jin said with a look of approval.

Although Xu Ping'er didn't understand why Xie Jin helped her speak, being praised was always a happy thing.

habitually pretending to be shy, and quietly going to Shen Huaiyue's appearance, is really a girl's mind, which makes people pity.

It's a pity that none of this fell into Shen Huaiyue's eyes, but it was clearly seen by Old Taijun Xie.

Childhood!

How can it!

She took Shen Huaiyue to raise him under her knees, just so that he could have a good future and so that the Shen family could glorify their ancestors.

She naturally wanted to choose a high-ranking daughter-in-law for Shen Huaiyue.

That's why he turned a blind eye to Shen Huaiyue's intentional or unintentional hookup with Xie Jin.

Although Xie Jin has a marriage contract, he doesn't like such a person to be the daughter-in-law of his Shen family.

But Xie Jin was born noble, and there were many noble girls who grew up around him, and then Xie Jin was the bridge, and Shen Huaiyue could know many noble girls of the right age.

In Mrs. Xie's opinion, the girl from the Fu family is not bad, with a wealthy family and virtuous and virtuous virtues.

As for Xu Ping'er, in Mrs. Xie's memory, she has always helped Shen Huaiyue pursue Xie Jin.

Mrs. Xie saw that Xu Ping'er had always been sensible, and she could be regarded as having a trace of blood and family affection with herself.

Thinking that when Xu Ping'er reached the age of discussing relatives, she entrusted her own second child to find a petty official in the capital for her, which can be regarded as worthy of her.

It's just that when did this girl target Shen Huaiyue.

However, Shen Huaiyue is a talent, and he is a talented man in the palace, a girl's heart, and he has been getting along for a long time, and he also has a heart of admiration.

Mrs. Xie looked at Shen Huaiyue, who she brought up single-handedly, and was naturally satisfied everywhere.

It seems that I have to knock Xu Ping'er by myself, if this girl has deep roots, she is willing to stay by Huaiyue's side and fulfill her as a concubine, which is already her biggest concession.

Xie Jin watched Old Taijun Xie staring at Xu Ping'er for a long time, but Xu Ping'er, who was bent on currying favor with Patriarch Shen, didn't notice it.

Thinking about his own reminder, it has aroused the vigilance of Mrs. Xie, and it is not in vain that although she doesn't like it, she came to this dinner.
