Chapter 7: A Contest

"Uncle!" Shen Guantong saw the tall and thin man outside the door, and he didn't care about the people behind him, so he rushed forward with an arrow and threw himself into the arms of his uncle Xie Qingyuan.

This hug made this uncle startled, since Ruotong had an illness two years ago, it was a little like a different person, and there seemed to be an inexplicable estrangement between the two of them.

But this hug made his heart warm a lot, Xie Qingyuan stretched out his hand and gently stroked the top of Shen Guantong's head, and rubbed it dotingly.

"Little girl, I haven't seen you for a year, but she has grown so tall, she is getting more and more beautiful, but she is ...... with her sister" At the mention of Shen Guantong's mother, Xie Qingyuan's eyes instantly dimmed a lot, and he swallowed back half of the words.

Seeing that it was Xie Qingyuan who came, the arrogance of Lin Yu's mother and daughter suddenly disappeared a lot, although this Xie Qingyuan was not famous in Liangcheng, but in Xiaocheng next door, it was surging.

In addition, he is the younger brother of Shen Nian's deceased wife, and everyone dare not give him some thin noodles.

Shen Nian saw that Xie Qingyuan was coming, so he gave the housekeeper behind him a look, and re-covered the box containing the hairpin with a red cloth, ready to ask him to take it.

Who knew that all this was seen by Xie Qingyuan, Chu Qingyu stepped forward with a smile, and gently put his hand on Shen Nian's shoulder, which seemed ordinary to outsiders, but only Shen Nian himself knew that the strength of this man's fingertips increased little by little.

"Brother-in-law, don't come unharmed?" Chu Qingyu has been gone for more than a year, and this time he came back not only to worship his sister, but also to hear that Lin Yu and Shen Ruoruo are not good people, so they came here to visit their niece.

Hearing Xie Qingyuan's words, Shen Nian's brows frowned slightly inadvertently, but quickly relaxed.

"I didn't say anything in advance when I came, I'm so prepared." After saying this set of polite words, he hurriedly tried to find an excuse to go down from this stage.

This Shen Nian has always taken a fancy to his face, and standing here for so long to let everyone see their family affairs as a joke, this is already the limit of Shen Nian's patience.

"This time I came to Liangcheng to talk about business, and I stopped by to see the old man." As he spoke, he patted Shen Nian lightly on the shoulder, turned around and walked to the front of Old Man Shen and sat down, put the gift box in his hand on the table, and pushed it in front of Old Man Shen in front of everyone.

Seeing Xie Qingyuan, the corners of Old Man Shen's mouth rose slightly, and he gave the housekeeper behind him a look, and the housekeeper hurriedly understood, where could he still take care of Shen Nian, and hurriedly ran to the old man and picked up the gift.

When the housekeeper was about to leave with the gift and the red box in his hand, Xie Qingyuan said, "Wait a minute." ”

After speaking, he stood up, stretched out his hand and knocked on the box, the sinking wooden box made two muffled knocks, Xie Qingyuan suddenly showed joy, turned around and said, "Yo, brother-in-law, I'm afraid it's not the crested golden hairpin." ”

Hearing Xie Qingyuan's words, Shen Nian frowned, but it was not easy to attack in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "After so many years, your eyes are still so sharp. ”

Suddenly the whole hall reverberated with laughter, and Shen Guantong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, sure enough, this matter still had to rely on his uncle to come forward.

"Could it be that Guan Tong is going to give this hairpin to us today?" Xie Qingyuan said tentatively.

Before he came, he heard that Shen Nian wanted to give the hairpin to Lin Yu, so he hurried over and deliberately said to Shen Nian.

Shen Nian's face was already a little unbearable, at this time, Shen Guantong stepped forward and said to Shen Nian in front of everyone: "Dad, I'm afraid you have forgotten, this hairpin is the heirloom of the Shen family, although it is true in your hands, but the rules set by the ancestors, this hairpin is for the wife and mother, as for what is this thing next to you, is she worthy?" ”

This sentence was like a fuse, instantly igniting the anger in Shen Nian's heart.

"Shut up! How can you say that about your Aunt Lin, your mother is no longer there, she is now my wife, the main wife and mother of this family! You! Apologize quickly! ”

Hearing Shen Nian's words, Shen Guantong couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, and he was looking in the direction of Lin Yu and Shen Ruoruo, and the two of them looked at Shen Guantong with a smile, as if they were showing off their achievements.

Tell yourself to apologize to these two sluts? Let's go in the next life! No matter how I say it, I was also a queen, and in the more than ten years I have lived, I have never apologized to Chu Xuhan since I first came.

Looking at the two people sitting on the sofa, Shen Ruotong suddenly had a plan, his eyes suddenly moistened, turned his head, and looked at Xie Qingyuan and Old Man Shen aggrievedly.

It turned out that what was said in this market was true, this Ruotong was really bullied a little too much in the Shen family, Xie Qingyuan couldn't sit still anymore, and directly took the case, completely losing the gentlemanly demeanor just now.

Her sister died in vain, and now her only daughter left in the world is still being bullied, how can she sit idly by as an uncle?

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by that? Although my sister is gone, my Xie family is not dead yet! Xie Qingyuan said sonorously and forcefully, undoubtedly to Shen Nian in front of him.

Shen Nian just cared about protecting his little wife and little daughter, but he forgot that Xie Qingyuan was never a simple character, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, carefully observing, and watching the movements.

The scene at this time was very embarrassing for a while, and at this time, Old Man Shen, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up, gently patted Xie Qingyuan's shoulder, and smiled.

"In the end, they are still young people, young and vigorous, since they are my Shen family's things, they will be passed on to these two children sooner or later, it is better to let them compete to see who is worthy of my Shen family's heirloom."

Shen Lao on the side opened his mouth to speak, and when everyone heard it, they were also paying attention, and they all turned their heads to look at Shen Ruoruo and Shen Guantong on the side, and the smell of gunpowder instantly condensed in the air.

Both of them are young ladies of the Shen family, not to mention the education they have received since childhood, and this unique competition makes everyone inevitably look forward to it.

Lin Yu looked at his daughter with some concern, while Shen Ruoruo smiled, nodded towards Lin Yu, and said, "Okay!" ”

And Shen Guantong on the side snorted coldly, these people really underestimated themselves, the queen from a noble family.

Seeing that the two of them nodded, everyone was also interested, and they sat down one after another, waiting to watch this good show, and Xie Qingyuan on the side said that he had a grudge in his heart, but he saw that Shen Guantong was confident, and he didn't say anything, sitting on the sofa, waiting for Shen Lao to come up with the question.

Everyone was already in place, even if Shen Nian was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to disobey his father's words, so he had to take his wife Lin Yu to sit aside.

Shen Lao called the butler and whispered a few words in his ear, the butler nodded, put the red box in his hand in front of everyone, and turned to leave.
