Old lady Shen heard that the division could not be completed, so she wilted. However, Shen Xinzhi felt that in the matter of repairing the ancestral hall of the capital, he was afraid that there would be a lot of oil and water to be fished, so he went to pry up the old lady Shen, saying that this matter could not be cheapened by others.

Old Lady Shen hurriedly came to find Mrs. Wei again: "There are not many things in Erlang's Yamen, and his eldest brother said that he should hide from right and wrong. Why don't you let him follow you to help repair the ancestral hall? In the purchase and transportation of wood and stones, you don't understand it. ”

Mrs. Wei unceremoniously blocked him back: "This matter is the money and land contributed by the Guogong Mansion, and the people in the clan contributed, and our family management mediated." If I let Erlang go to make peace at this time, it will be equivalent to taking away the position of the people of the clan to come to Beijing, and taking the reputation and money of the Guogong Mansion - did the old lady plan to keep me busy, but I was offended on both sides? ”

He snorted again: "My sons can't rely on the Guogong Mansion and the clan, but I don't know if your son will need to be able to win people in the future." If you want Erlang to rob this fat difference, okay, you go and tell Grandpa Guo yourself. I don't go for scolding. ”

Old Lady Shen was so disgraced that she couldn't help but lose her temper and defend: "It was Da Lang who said that he would let Erlang help with this matter, and it wasn't that we had to go!" ”

Old Madam Wei glanced at him coldly: "If the division is successful, our family will be close to the Guogong Mansion." I don't know if your brother has changed to a cousin. Erlang went to the Guogong Mansion to discuss various matters in the name of righteousness. But it didn't work out!

The clan is now staring at the Guogong Mansion with burning eyes, eager to pounce on it and bite off a piece of fat. Grandpa Guo didn't even want to see them. For such a big thing as cultivating the ancestral hall, I was only willing to pay for it, and I was not even willing to touch my hands, so I had to come forward. Don't you understand?

"As long as our family can understand the old man's thoughts, we will be able to complete this matter cautiously. The government is only grateful. But if our family makes trouble at this time, and Grandpa Guo finishes prevaricating in the clan, he can clean us up with his hand! ”

Only then did Old Lady Shen turn her worries into joy: "Then this matter will be for you." When we're done, let's go to the Guogong Mansion together to hand in the errand. ”

Crossover? It's a show of merit, right?

Old Madam Wei didn't bother to puncture his careful thoughts, so she casually agreed, and asked him off topic: "How is Su Hou's case?" Do you have any news? ”

Old Lady Shen stood up solemnly and said, "The Su family has been imprisoned. Originally, the most popular candidate for the crown princess was Su Mei, the talented girl of the Su family, who committed suicide by stabbing her throat on the day Yulin besieged the Hou Mansion. ”

Old Madam Wei sighed: "This is unwilling to be humiliated." ”

Old lady Shen was also a little embarrassed: "After all, she is a tiger girl with a strong temperament." Although he is famous for his dignified etiquette and talent, the blood in his bones still follows the old marquis. ”

Mrs. Wei asked, "Whose presiding judge did you order?" ”

Old lady Shen's eyes flashed: "Zhengqing and Shaoqing of Dali Temple fell ill together, and the saint lost his temper, so Qin Shilang, who is now presiding over affairs in the Criminal Department, will preside over ......the trial."

Old Madam Wei knew what he was thinking when she saw the way his eyes were rolling, so she had to warn him again: "Da Lang only pushed this matter with his front foot, if our family steps in with his back foot, I am afraid that we will lose our sacred heart in an instant." Then don't think about having a good life for three lifetimes. ”

After talking about three lifetimes, Mrs. Shen remembered that there was no man in the Manfu girl's film, and she dropped her sleeves and walked out: "One by one!" I don't have a brother, where did I get three lives? Tomorrow, I will give Erlang Sanlang a concubine! ”

Well, can't you bully the boss, can't you bully the second and third?

Old Madam Wei glanced at his back and looked away expressionlessly.

Too lazy to pay attention to you.

……

After Laba is the New Year.

Although Shen Xinyan was not at home, and Shen Cheng died not long ago, it was the day of welcoming the new year after all.

The Shen family has been lively for more than a month.

Although Shen Hao also yearns for all kinds of old customs and amusements in ancient times, after all, from his previous life to his original body, he is a little withdrawn. Therefore, it is simply annoying to face all kinds of New Year's greetings, banquets, and invitations.

Especially Shen Shilang is now in the ascendancy of the Holy Family, and the status of the Shen family is naturally rising. There are all kinds of posts, and the porter receives a big stack every day.

Fortunately, there is also Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng sat upright in the boiled stone curie, her eyebrows were clear and her eyes were cold: "Xinzheng is entering the Hajj to meet the queen mother and the queen mother, is the Shen family extra favored?" No. Since there is none, it is still a small Beijing official of the fourth grade. Proud fashion should not get carried away, let alone the day of pride?

"The elders have arranged things, so they naturally have to do it. However, if it is not arranged, it means that you should still read and learn words. ”

Shen Xi wanted to go out to play, and retorted timidly: "It is customary not to touch paper, pencil and needles in the first month......"

Mrs. Meng waved her sleeves: "Third Miss, let's go." My rule was originally Shen Shilang's advice when he left, to give the second lady extra homework. We only explain the historical records, and the third lady will come if she wants to hear it, and leave if she doesn't want to listen. ”

Shen Xi happily ran away.

Her uncle's cousin will marry in the capital next year, and Xu's family is a director of the military department surnamed Jia. The Jia family sent a post to Feng's family, asking her to have time to take her sister to play. Feng agreed. Shen Xi was in a hurry to pick out clothes and jewelry in the past two days, and at this time, he happened to go to the small study in the outer courtyard to find Shen Xinzhi, and pestered him to take him out to the silver building.

When Mrs. Meng and Shen Hao saw her leave, they both quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The master and apprentice made tea and chatted under the window, killing time freely.

On the eighth day of the first day of the new year, there were fewer people on the streets. Shen Xinzhi took Feng and Shen Xi to Jia's house as guests.

When Zhu Min, the Marquis of Qingjiang, heard this, he immediately went to the Shen family with Mrs. Luo and Zhu Rin and Zhu Yan - the Shen family did not have Xiaolang, and Zhu Jian and Zhu Jing were the most annoying when they were seven or eight years old, and no one was to play with them, so Zhu Min was afraid that Shen Min would be annoyed and directly asked Zhu Yan to beat the two of them.

Old Mrs. Wei saw Zhu Min and Zhu Rin in Tongxiangyuan, her eyes narrowed with a smile, and she was busy calling Shen Xinxing back from the table where her colleagues gathered outside, and asked him to accompany Marquis Zhu.

Zhu Min and Mrs. Luo said at the same time, "I can't do it."

Mrs. Luo looked at her husband, pursed her lips and smiled silently.

Zhu Min smiled kindly: "Erlang Sanlang is so easy to dissipate during the New Year, how can you restrain me again?" Besides, I didn't come for them. When do we eat and drink? It's because I haven't seen my aunt for a long time. Our child's mother's home is far away, so I want her to go back to honor her mother, which is very rare. So I simply came to say hello to you and have a meal together. When I come to be filial and filial—what about my uncle? Would you like to come along, uncle? I may not have seen him for a long time. ”

Mrs. Wei was so moved to tears by what he said, and she hurriedly ordered to find Mrs. Shen, and ordered Mama Gan to come: "You take someone personally, tell the kitchen first, choose the best dishes, and I will entertain my aunt for my in-laws today." Then I went to clean up the flower hall, took a screen, and after a while, I accompanied the old lady and Brother Rin to a table outside; Weiwei her aunt, sister Yan and the ladies of the family were at the table. Let's have a good day. ”

Mrs. Luo was also red by Mrs. Wei's words of "entertaining my aunt", and she quietly glared at her husband, and habitually reached under the sleeves of her wide robe to clamp the fat on the side of Zhu Min's legs.

Shen Hao and Zhu Yan held their arms on the side, squeezing their eyes and smiling at each other.
