Chapter 696: Second brother and second sister-in-law
A family of three?
Shi Qingqian was slightly stunned when he heard this, could he ......
"Huh? Sister Xi has beenγOh no! Have the second sister-in-law and brother already had a baby? Shi Qingqian asked in surprise.
Xi Manwan nodded shyly at the end, her face full of happiness and shyness.
Shi An walked over and pulled her to sit down beside him, and said, "Yes, Wan'er and I have two children, the eldest girl is called Yisheng, who will be seven years old soon, and the second is a two-year-old stinky boy named Yihong." β
"Yi Sheng...... Yihong ...... The name is really good," Shi Qingqian muttered softly, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something wrong at this time, when she and Shen Shu saw Shi An and Xi Manwan outside, it didn't seem to be seven years old until now, she scratched her head, tilted her head and asked: "Second brother, this means that you and your second sister-in-law have actually secretly married a long time ago, right?" β
No one present had time to calculate Sister Sheng's age, so Shi Qingqian caught him, Shi An smiled awkwardly, and said, "No, no, there was no marriage at that time...... But it was Sheng'er who was indeed born, and because she was still young, we didn't have it with us. β
This is all a trivial matter, the important thing is that now that the two have become married, Shi Qingqian can generously call Xi Manwan 'second sister-in-law'.
For this marriage, Shi Qingqian can see that the third lady in the third room still has some minds, although she has never been very favored, and she looks like a good person on weekdays, but after all, this is her own daughter-in-law but she has not been selected by herself, and she is a little unhappy. In addition, although Xi Manwan is beautiful, her background is cloth clothes and flat head, and being able to climb the Hou Mansion, even if she is a concubine, is a blessing in her previous life.
This can be seen, and it is also because the third lady frowned slightly when Shi Qingqian found out that Shi An pulled Xi Manwan to his side.
For this second sister-in-law Shi Qingqian naturally liked it, so he leaned forward with his waist and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen my second sister-in-law for many years, I still remember that the second sister-in-law's piano sound is beautiful, if I hadn't gone to Tongling with my husband, I really don't believe that that remote place can raise such a beautiful daughter!" β
"Oh?" Speaking of this, the third lady was a little interested, and the two didn't come back for long, and she didn't have time to ask a lot of questions, "Yes, yes, in this way, the princess is indeed the lady who talked about our An'er back then, look at my memory, I don't even remember what the princess said." β
This is a clichΓ© to Shi Qingqian, Shi Qingqian made up his mind and said, "The third lady forgot, I'll just say it again." My second sister-in-law doesn't just have a good-looking face, the second sister-in-law will use all kinds of things to make things for women, I used the face oil made by the second sister-in-law in Tongling, and my face is a lot smoother! And the second sister-in-law is also a good lady who is knowledgeable, and I felt worthy of my excellent second brother back then. β
Hearing this, the third lady nodded slightly.
The eldest lady smiled and handed Shi Yuan a cup of tea, and then ordered Mingyan to open the window a small crack, add two more stoves to the house, and said: "The third daughter-in-law, I think this lady is good, she is virtuous and down-to-earth, and her background is low, but our Hou Mansion is also a big family, where do you need to marry a daughter-in-law?" β
"Yes...... You said that this raw rice has been cooked into porridge, I just don't want to," the third lady smiled bitterly and sighed softly, "I'm not the kind of mother-in-law who has a lot of things, the daughter-in-law takes care of the family and is virtuous." β
Shi An hurriedly pulled Xi Manwan to kneel, "Mother! I patted my chest and packed the ticket - Wan'er is definitely the most virtuous woman, she has long said that she will serve her mother, her mother and grandmother well when she returns home, you can see her performance!"
Xi Manwan also nodded: "I also hope that my mother-in-law will give her daughter-in-law a chance, and my daughter-in-law will serve her well!" β
"Okay, okay, look at one or two of you," the old lady waved her hand, called Xi Manwan to her side, and stretched out her wrinkled hand, Xi Manwan immediately knelt down obediently, so that the old lady could touch the scar on her face more exteriorly.
I thought that the old lady would ask about it, but I didn't expect her to take her hand and hold her instead, and said to the people in the house: "Our girl is full of the second sister-in-law's goodness, and Brother An also guarantees this, this granddaughter-in-law and my old woman admit it!" β
"Thank you, Grandmother!"
This level is passed, with her grandmother in charge, Xi Manwan can also be regarded as a daughter-in-law who can go to the family tree.
Shi Qingqian also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Speaking of which, what about the two children of the second brother? I'm finally going to be an aunt, and I want to see my little niece and nephew! β
Speaking of children, he reminded Shi An, and he clapped his hands as if he remembered something, "Tsk, my two children are too spoiled, they can't stand the fatigue of the carriage and horses, and they fell ill as soon as they came back, and now they are resting in the room." Speaking of these two children, Sheng'er is almost seven years old, which is the age when she should study, and I haven't paid attention to it all the time. Originally, I came back this time and wanted Xiao Qi to help me teach Sheng'er, but I didn't want you to have a big belly too......"
"Yes, no, the girl herself is still a child who has not grown up, it is not easy to make her pregnant, you don't want to throw another girl to her." The old lady nodded.
Ming Yan got a hand warmer out of nowhere, and after Shi Qingqian took it and held it, he said: "Actually, it's not difficult, it's just that I always want to sleep these days, and I definitely can't teach Sister Sheng all day long, I think it's better to send Sister Sheng to Hanlin Academy." β
Saying this, everyone remembered that behind the youngest girl in their family was standing behind the amazing big man - Shen Xiaowangye. On weekdays, the eldest lady once said that the Hou Mansion couldn't just think about the relationship between them and the Yan Wangfu, that is, she was afraid of adding a burden to her daughter, and Shi Qingqian never took the initiative to talk about it, she has always avoided this kind of thing.
However, sending children to school is different from taking care of them in the officialdom, although the Hanlin Academy is good, as long as there is a word from Shen Shu, Sister Nasheng can also go in to study.
Shi Qingqian thought that the second brother was also honest with himself, and he might be helping himself, so he took the initiative to talk about it.
"This, this is good, it's just ......" Shi An glanced hesitantly at the eldest lady.
"This is all a trivial matter, when Sister Sheng's body is stable, go study and try it, if you can't get used to the Hanlin Academy, then find a way to find a way," Shi Qingqian continued, "Second brother, don't worry, we are all a family, and I can make my own decisions if it doesn't involve issues of principle." β
