Shen Yao hadn't been back to the capital for a long time, but at the age of seven or eight, he left his home in the capital, although his parents and sister went to live in Jiangnan together.

Their family has a four-in, four-out mansion in Suzhou, which is not as rich and spacious as Yanwangfu, but it is enough for a family of four to live - no, it should be a family of five now.

The mother was diagnosed by Lang Zhong as pregnant a few months ago, and the father was so happy that he rewarded Na Lang Zhong with several dollars. It's also because I'm pregnant, I can't toss anymore these days, and my second cousin in the capital sent someone to send a post, saying that he would get married in four months, and asked his aunt and uncle to go to Beijing.

He still remembered that his eldest cousin got married before, they should have moved the family to Beijing to celebrate, but they hated the conflict with his father's government affairs and failed to go, this time his mother was inconvenient to hurry, and his father naturally wanted to stay with him, and his sister Younan was still young, and if she went far away, she had to mobilize the people, and after weighing, they decided to ask Shen Yao to take his servants to Beijing.

So Shen Yao had to come to the capital alone, but fortunately, he had someone to accompany him along the way, and he didn't seem very lonely. Besides, the capital is also his home, and he is very familiar with it when he returns here.

"Brother Yao!" Just like the gate of the capital, he heard someone calling, followed the sound and looked over, only to see a woman in her forties and dressed as a subordinate standing next to the carriage parked on the side of the street, Shen Yao thought softly for a moment, and responded with a chuckle: "Aunt Mingyu." ”

Mingyu stepped forward and affectionately invited Shen Yao to get into the soft sedan chair behind him, and the subordinates he brought also handed over to the small servants behind Mingyu, and the whole team set off at this time, thinking about the direction of the Hou Mansion and moving away. On the way, Mingyu was so happy in his heart that he couldn't help but smile frequently: "Brother Yao, the eldest lady heard that you were coming, so she sent a slave and maid to wait early, and I think about you these days." ”

After a while, he said, "Childe lives in our house this time?" It's going to take a while to clean up over there. ”

"Hmm......" Shen Yao had no choice but to nod.

Speaking of Shen Yao this year, he is fourteen years old, but his temperament is as old and calm as his father, and his mother often says that he wants to bring more youthful vitality that children should have, helpless......

He was no stranger to this road, and soon returned to the home of his grandfather and grandmother in his memory, the Hou Mansion.

These days two aunts Xi. In order to prepare for Yihong's cousin's marriage, he was very busy, and there were many fire bubbles on his mouth, but he was also tired and happy. Because there were many things, only the Bai family couldn't come to greet her at the first time, although Shen Yao didn't care about this, but the Bai family seemed to be quite apologetic, and specially asked her daughter Yisheng to treat her.

Sitting in the familiar hall, Shen Yao looked at his grandfather in front of him, whose hair had turned a lot gray, after many years, he was still as majestic as he remembered, and his grandmother on the side was as gentle as ever.

Seeing Shen Yao, who had not been seen for many years, the people of the Shi family were quite excited, and the grandmother even couldn't help but come forward directly to rub a thick black hair, and was dragged by the relatives to greet him for a long time.

"Yao'er is so tall," the eldest cousin Shi Yisheng sat next to her grandmother, she has been married for three years, she is more dignified and good-looking than she remembers, today she wore a bright yellow silk folded branch flower straight-collar cardigan, slender jade fingers twisted a lady picture fan, and the second sister-in-law is eight points similar, a smile and a smile reveal everyone's beautiful temperament, "Auntie is okay?" ”

"Mother, she eats and sleeps well, raised a body of fat in Jiangnan, and calls my father white and fat," Yao'er replied with a smile, "Before I came, I also asked me to bring a congratulatory gift to Sister Sheng. ”

Not being able to watch Yisheng get married has always been something that my mother can't let go of. I heard that in the end, Yi Sheng married the second son of the Earl's Mansion family in Yanyang, and the old uncle of the Earl's Mansion was seriously ill at that time, and the situation of the entire Earl's Mansion declined, and the status of the head of the Lord's family was reduced a lot. But for Yi Sheng, who was born in a merchant family, such a marriage is already a high marriage, and the Yan family Erlang is very good to Yi Sheng, and his in-laws are also open-minded and good-natured people.

It's just that it has been two years since she got married, and Yisheng only had a miscarriage at the beginning, and then she never conceived a child again, so no matter how open-minded her in-laws are, they will have more opinions on this.

Grandfather took a sip of tea and said, "Yao'er has passed the township test this year?" Seeing Shen Yao nodded, he continued, "Speaking of which, your mother wrote that you will take the entrance examination next year, and I am thinking about asking you to return to Beijing to live this year." ”

The local scientific examination is not as convenient as the capital, mainly because the distance is too twists and turns, how many students enter Beijing to catch the exam will take a lot of time, the mother has already discussed with Yao'er, and wants him to stay in Beijing this autumn to live, and then run to familiarize himself with the environment during the provincial examination. Anyway, their family has Yanwang's Mansion and their grandfather's house.

Shen Yao nodded to him a few times and replied, "Mother said that I will pack up when I go back this time, and I will come back to live in the autumn." ”

"Then your mother ...... them," the grandfather blinked, wanting to ask his daughter, but was too embarrassed to say it.

"Mother, they should not come back until the younger brother or sister in the womb is born?" Shen Yao tilted his head, in fact, Jiangnan is beautiful, and his parents may not be willing to return to the capital to live, not to mention that he himself also feels more comfortable outside.

The grandmother on the side finally found the gap, and hurriedly interjected: "Okay, okay, the child has just arrived home all the way, so you don't have to ask questions!" Yao'er, my grandmother has renovated the Baoyue Temple where your mother lived before, and specially cleaned it up for you, and asked someone to take you over to settle down later. ”

Several people in the hall laughed, except for Xiu Mu's grandfather at this time, the men in the family were outside, Shen Yao was surrounded by women, and he couldn't let go, so he had to nod with a smiling face.

Noticing Shen Yao's crampedness, her grandmother finally spoke: "Yao'er, you don't want to learn from your father's perverse temperament, it's good to learn more from your mother, and only by being dexterous can people like it!" ”

Facing Shen Yao, who was "seven aunts and eight aunts", he suddenly admired himself when he was a child: How did you live shamelessly among such enthusiastic relatives at that time?
