Two Happiness (Part II)

However, the days when Shen came back were not particularly short, and it only took a day or two to inquire about it.

Then he went to Ruixuan Hall to discuss with Mrs. An, "My daughter-in-law has also been carefully inquired." ”

"The Xu family is also prosperous, but I don't know what the reason is, Mrs. Xu gave birth to a total of three sons, the eldest son fell into the water when he was young and fell ill, and the second son broke his leg when he was a child.

"Mrs. Xu didn't give birth to a daughter, only two concubines, but there are no concubines in the family, and it is said that the family was pregnant in those years."

"It's either that he wasn't born, or he died young."

Shen said this, and he could also think of the bloody wind in the back house of the Xu family.

"Feng Shui for their home...... It doesn't seem to be very good. ”

"But ......" After all, he is the master of Anqiao, the character that Anchi's father fancies, compared with the Shen family and Anqiao, they are different after all.

This Xu family can be favored by Lord Onqiao, and he also has his merits.

"It is precisely because of this that I heard that Mrs. Xu and the uncle of the Xu family, who is an official in the court, cherish Xu Sanlang abnormally, if Sister Chi marries in the past, her life will be rich, and her face will be certain."

Old Mrs. An had already heard about the Xu family's inner house, her face was not good, and she twisted her face at this time, "That's not what I said......

"Second daughter-in-law, there are only two of us in this house, your words have entered my ears, and I can't go to others."

"Let me ask you, if this is for Sister Shu'er, which one do you want?"

Shen paused, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile, "Since the daughter-in-law married into the An family, the mother treats it as her own, teaches and takes care of everything, and the daughter-in-law has no great ambition in her heart, just hoping that her daughter can have this blessing." ”

Mrs. An nodded, "What you said is the same as what I have in my heart. ”

"This Xu family's back house is like this, if we hadn't inquired carefully, but there would have been no rumors, it can be seen that Mrs. Xu is strict in governing the family, and she prefers her son, I'm afraid she will be more harsh on her daughter-in-law."

"And our sister Chi is a concubine......"

"Their man's family, looking at the future of the son-in-law, looking at the conversation, looking at the family background, only our women's family knows that the trivial little things in these ordinary days are the most abrasive."

"If Sister Qi is here, I guess she thinks the same way."

"Anyway, the boss has already given the Xu family a good breath, if they rush up to give gifts or make a post, then there is still merit, it can be seen that we value Sister Chi."

"If not...... I'm going to ask the boss to change his mind, don't worry, it won't involve you after all. ”

"After all, in the next room, I know the taboo in your heart."

Shen thanked Mrs. An for her compassion and gave a deep salute, "My daughter-in-law and Sister Chi are grateful to my mother for taking care of me." ”

When Shen returned to Songcui Garden, it was already dark, because of the road with many people in the past, although the scenery was good, and there were many flowers and plants, but at this time, it was inevitable that there were some small insects, so Shen chose a long but secluded road.

Who knew that he hadn't walked far, and faintly saw some firelight, Shen quickly stood up and called Lianzi over, "You go and see, what's going on?" ”

Lianzi brought the man over, and the Shen family saw that it was Aunt Li, and she still had some unused paper money in her hand, and then frowned, "What are you doing here?" ”

There are also old people in the family, this kind of thing, after all, we have to avoid it, in recent years, as Mrs. An gets older, the plain white at home is not very useful, this Aunt Li is good, and she burned paper money behind Ruixuan Hall!

Aunt Li knew that she was at a loss, so she hurriedly knelt down, "Concubine...... Concubine ......"

Shen didn't have time to listen to her, so he first asked Lianzi to tear up the paper money and throw it away, and then took Aunt Li to Songcui Garden, and sat down after entering the main courtyard before speaking, "You kneel down for me!" ”

The Shen family has always been lenient to her aunt, and rarely when she spoke so harshly, Aunt Li was so panicked that she "pounced" and knelt on the ground.

The clothes are thin in the summer, but this time it is also real.

Shen didn't call out, "Say, what's going on?" ”

Aunt Li was crying and sobbing, "Concubine...... In the concubine's house, someone came today, saying that the concubine's brother had no money for gambling, so the people in the gambling house were beaten to death! ”

Aunt Li was crying wet with a handkerchief, "It's all the concubine's fault...... The last few people who came home, the concubine was not willing to give the silver, so she took some food and cloth......"

This is what Shen knows, but he didn't take it to heart before.

"If the concubine is willing to be generous and pays off the gambling debts for her brother, my brother will not leave a lone seedling who doesn't know men and women and leave!"

The more Aunt Li talked, the more uncomfortable she became, and she almost forgot that she was here to ask for sin.

Still heard the wind, Xing'er, who came over in a hurry, entered the house and kowtowed to make her words clear, "The eighth young master has already instructed the slave maid before leaving, and he is not allowed to give his aunt's family silver, but he is just paying off gambling debts, how can there be so much silver added to it?" ”

"Who knows, something like that happened to my uncle!"

"Our aunt felt sorry for her mother's house, and took all her savings to her uncle's funeral, not to mention, she also asked someone to buy paper money back, and the slave maid was also persuaded, since she got married, she was a person here, how could she burn paper money for her mother's brother at her husband's house?"

"I don't think my aunt will respond on the surface, but in private, she ...... "The more Xing'er talks, the more she hates iron and steel."

After hearing this for a long time, Shen's anger subsided, and he calmed down, "Aunt Li, you are really confused!" ”

"Your brother's temper has not changed, even if you lose your family fortune, you will lose his life sooner or later!"

"Besides, this thing...... I don't think that's right. ”

Anyway, Aunt Li is also a powerful third-grade official, the aunt who gave birth to a son, his brother, the gambling house has debts, and dares to beat them to death...... Not necessarily.

Aunt Li's crying face rose, "Madam...... What do you mean? ”

Shen took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and spoke, "Wait for me to check, as for you...... Just ground. ”

— but not for long.

After Aunt Li asked An to leave, Shen called Hua Lian, "You go to check on Aunt Li's family, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

However, it was also an aunt's family matter, and the Shen family did not pay special attention to it.

And the Xu family, on the day that Princess Antai's mansion was completely built and presented to the emperor and queen, there was finally movement.

"Mrs. Xu asked our family to go to the Great Compassion Temple to offer incense?" Shen took the post and read it carefully, if you just look at the post, it is naturally more bookish and exquisite than the Hong family.

The words are also thoughtful, this Xu Saburo is going to end this fall, and Anzhou Anhao of the An family is also going to be gone, so it is better for the two families to make an appointment to go to the incense and pray for blessings, and ask for a toad palace to win the laurels.
