Chapter 1 Discussion of family affairs

The official media Xu Pozi had already seen the front gate from afar, and there was an official sedan chair parked, heavily guarded and heavily guarded.

The leader of the brocade clothes hurriedly came, guided the sedan chair man to lean over, and brought out a person from the end of the sedan chair, which was actually Shen Erye.

Old Madam Shen found that the sedan chair paused, so she lifted the curtain, and just as Second Master Shen approached to greet him, she saw him wearing a scarlet official uniform, so she asked in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

Second Master Shen bowed his head and said gently: "The fifth watch entered the court, and as soon as the official business was over, he returned home, where did my mother go?" ”

"Knowingly ask!" Old Madam Shen glared at him with a smile: "The official media is on the side, you don't know where I'm going?" ”

The mother-in-law Xu interjected flatteringly: "Today is to go to the Xu Mansion for Shen Ge to discuss marriage, the old lady looks at the little daughter-in-law, and if you get along, you will give the day of marriage." ”

Looking at the little daughter-in-law...... Second Master Shen's eyebrows softened more and more, and he thought about it and asked, "Does Mother have a hairpin ready?" ”

Mrs. Jiang rubbed the flower handkerchief and covered her mouth and snickered: "Don't worry, the old lady is properly prepared." ”

Everyone laughed, Shen Erye also smiled, the old lady rarely saw him like this, and quipped: "Since you can't let go of your heart, just go with me!" ”

Shen Erye really looked back and asked Xu Jing if he had any official business, Xu Jing was confused, when did the second master have been idle, and before he could speak, he had heard Shen Erye say calmly: "There is nothing important today, but you can accompany your mother to go with you, and by the way, you can meet with Xu Guogong and have something to talk about." ”

After finishing speaking, she walked to the official sedan chair, Mrs. Shen was stunned, but the sedan chair was already shaking, and after a few incense candles, paper stalls, she was a little sudden, and Shen Er retreated in front of the door, and had already made up her mind to go to Xu's mansion with her.

Old Madam Shen pouted, how could a son be so worried about his own mother!

.......................................

Tian Jiang was led to the main hall by Cuixiang, and Mrs. Xu sent a maid to invite, and the old lady of the Shen Mansion brought the "payment of the red" and came to discuss the marriage in person, wanting to see her.

The two of them walked through the lotus pond and saw Xiao Qi (Xu Lan's nephew) sitting on a big stone in front of a bunch of hibiscus flowers, wiping his tears and choking and crying, Cuixiang stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to blow his nose, and said with a frightened mouth: "Today is a good day for your cousin, if you can't see tears, I will talk to my grandmother if you cry again." ”

That Xiao Qi hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, his eyes were still wet, looking strange and pitiful, Tian Jiang smiled and took out a plum candy from his sleeve, handed it to him, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" “

Xiao Qi smacked the plum candy and confessed: "Half an hour ago, I sneaked into the fifth uncle's room with Xiao Ba Xiao Jiu Xiao Ten to steal candy to eat, and smashed the porcelain bottle of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea on his table. “

Cuixiang exclaimed in a low voice, and poked him on the forehead with his fingertips: "That's the fifth master's baby pimple, he only returned to Beijing yesterday, and you just made this moth, but the scar is good and forgets the pain?" ”

Xiao Qi couldn't help but shudder, his thin eyebrows were so frowning that he could catch mosquitoes, Tian Jiang touched his head and comforted: "If your fifth uncle asks, just say that I asked you to take it, and I am going to get married, no matter how annoyed he is, there is nothing he can do about me." ”

Xiao Qi suddenly burst into tears and laughed, and whistled into the flowers, but listening to the sound of rustling, three little trick-or-treaters came out of the hibiscus bushes, holding the flocculent dog tail grass in their hands, with mud on their faces, and a string of crystals flowing from the corners of their mouths: "Cousin, I also want to eat sugar." "Don't look at the short body and hide, but your eyes don't miss anything.

Sent away Xiao Qi and a few, the two of them continued to walk along the front porch, Tian Jiang asked with some curiosity: "This fifth master is very fierce, but break a vase, look at it scares Xiao Qi like that." ”

Cuixiang said with a smile: "Xiao Qi is spoiled by the master like a monkey, if there is no tight spell of the fifth master, the mansion must be overturned." Yesterday, he led the troops to quell the chaos before returning to Beijing, and he was annoyed, and Xiao Qi dared to provoke him. “

It's a mighty general! Tian Jiang asked casually: "Since he returned to Beijing after quelling the chaos, he should be happy, what is his trouble?" “

Cui Xiang said in a low voice: "The young lady of the third lady's mother's brother, named Yuan Xueqin, lives here for a long time, and intends to treat her and promise to marry the fifth master, how can I think about the little princess of the foreign country who came to the country the month before, saying that the fifth master had an agreement with each other when the chaos was peaceful, and her two martial arts skills are not weak, and her temperament is difficult, so the fifth master can not be annoyed." “

Tian Jiang pursed his lips silently, it turned out to be a mighty general who attracted bees and butterflies!

The two of them have walked to the front porch to the front porch, through an autumn leaf-style cave door, there is a pomegranate blossom shade, and then in front of the main hall, there are already laughter and noise in the distance, and there are more than a dozen dignified maids standing in front of the corridor, there are in this house, and half of the unfamiliar faces, presumably brought by Mrs. Chen.

Seeing the two of them coming, a few hurriedly greeted them with a smile, and at this moment, someone had already opened the curtain and went in to reply.

Tian Jiang entered the hall, only to see a room full of daughters-in-law and young ladies, all dressed up Zhou Zheng to accompany her, and a graceful and luxurious old woman sat in the front, presumably Mrs. Shen, across a yellow pear and begonia style six-legged incense table, sitting side by side is Mrs. Xu, all with a pleasant face while eating tea and laughing.

Tian Jiang walked over without hurrying, and in front of Mrs. Shen's feet, there was a cyan cushion embroidered with entwined branch lotus, she pulled her skirt and waist, knelt down to greet her.

Old Madam Shen smiled and looked at her carefully, but saw that she was wearing a chanterelle yellow and silver striped brocade skirt, wearing lotus root color clothes, her little face had not been smeared with pink delicacy rouge, she looked very white, her ears were wearing bright small gold rings, combing her cloud bun, and she didn't wear more pearls but it was just right.

She was suddenly a little stunned, this face seemed to have been seen somewhere, but she couldn't remember it, it was really unforgiving!

In fact, when Tian Jiang was in the future, Mrs. Shen had already seen several young ladies in this house, all of them were sassy and heroic, and the one named Yuan Xueqin also danced with a sword, because she was born in a family of military generals, she still favored girls like Yuan Xueqin in her heart, but she preferred uselessness, knowing her son Mo Ruomu, she was happy Shen Er did not wait to see.

The happy girl in Shen Er's heart should be Tian Jiang, full of poetry and book talent, splendid articles, looking calm but coquettish, like a tender little ginger, spicy and silky, but with a sweet taste.

Thinking that Shen Er rarely had the idea of marrying a wife, she came to see Tian Jiang again, but she was quite satisfied, and kindly asked her to sit beside her.

Tian Jiang first felt that he was not in harmony with the courtesy, and when he saw Mrs. Xu's jaw, he sat next to Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen asked her about some family routines, and heard that her father died early and her mother died in recent years, and she kept filial piety for three years before she came to Beijing to take refuge in accordance with her mother's wishes. ”

Give the big girl Qing Juan a look at the big girl on the side, Qing Juan hurriedly brought two red satin bronzing boxes, she opened one of them, picked up a double-bit chicken heart pendant little golden phoenix hairpin, and put it into the bun for her.
