It was a woman in her fifties, dressed neatly and neatly.

The woman saluted when she saw Mrs. Yan and said, "My nephew and daughter-in-law have seen Aunt Jiu." ”

Mrs. Yan didn't remember how old she was, but Lu had returned to her hometown, and said hello with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why did you come to the capital in person?" ”

Old Madam Yan suddenly remembered, smiled and stretched out her hand: "Get up quickly, get up quickly!" ”

He also introduced to Mrs. Wei: "This is the daughter-in-law of the eldest Xinwen, the fourth brother of the patriarch, Deloitte, and her maiden name is Gao." ”

Gao nodded with a smile and said first: "Aunt Jiu has a good memory." ”

He looked at Mrs. Wei again, and asked uncertainly: "Dare I have good luck today, but I still see Aunt Eighteen?" ”

Wuxing Shen family, the genealogy is clearly arranged, the patriarch Shen Dun, the word Deqin, line four; Chen Guogong Shen Feng, the word Dezong, Xingjiu; Shen Gong, the old lady Shen, the word virtue first, line eighteen.

Old Madam Wei smiled kindly: "Exactly." I haven't been lucky enough to go back, but this is the first time we've seen each other today. ”

Gao Shi hurriedly saluted her again, and said with a smile: "Originally, when I came back to Beijing, I also wanted to go to the house to meet her." Oh, my mother-in-law also brought a letter to Aunt Eighteen. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his baggage and presented it to Mrs. Wei with both hands.

Lu, Liu, Shen Hao and others have seen each other with Gao.

The two old ladies were both old and dazzled, so Lu Shi took the letter from the old lady Yan and read it to her in a low voice. Shen Hao took Mrs. Wei's letter, opened it, read it softly to her grandmother, and finally said with a smile: "This is a great thing." ”

The letter did not mention anything about the division of the sect, but only said that the ancestral hall of the Shen family's capital would be repaired.

Shen Hao and Old Madam Wei glanced at each other.

It seems that Wu Xingshen is unwilling to let go of Chen Guogong and the two big backers of the Ministry of Rites.

Gao said with a smile: "After the autumn harvest, the family is idle and the elders gather. The little grandfather said that Grandpa Guo and Uncle Eighteen are both old, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to return to their hometown. During the New Year's holidays, it is difficult to sacrifice to an ancestor.

"Now there are two rooms in Beijing. There are many people in the clan this year, and I am afraid that they will have to come to Beijing next year to give it a try. It's better to simply leave a place for the clan in Beijing. Because I was ordered to come and discuss with the ninth and eighteenth aunts, see how to choose a place and how to repair the ancestral hall. ”

Do you still want to reach out to the capital?

I hate this kind of restless and self-conscious relatives the most, and when there is anything, they are the ones who provoke it.

Shen Hao glanced at the old lady Yan who was sitting above, and saw how she answered correctly.

Old Madam Yan nodded with a smile, but turned to Old Madam Wei and said, "Your family has not stopped for half a year, so I haven't told you." Grandpa Guo has discussed this matter with the old mansion several times. Grandpa Guo thinks it's okay. ”

Okay?

Is this a reluctant agreement?

Shen Hao was thoughtful.

Mrs. Yan talked about how to set up an ancestral hall, and how to buy Zhuangzi and sacrificial fields.

Old Madam Wei listened to it and said with a smile: "This is a big deal. I'll go back and talk to Yan'er and his father. ”

Consult?!

What to discuss?

Is it possible to say "no"?

Shen Hao blinked.

However, Gao Shi had completely understood, and approached Mrs. Wei with a smile, first touched Shen Hao's hair affectionately, and said with a smile:

"Eighteen aunts, when I came, my mother-in-law told me in detail.

"Uncle Jiu's identity is there, every move, there are many people watching in Jingli. Even if the Shen family wanted to find a place to settle in the capital, there was no reason to beat gongs and drums so that everyone in the capital would know and pick on them.

"Although it's something outside, it must be to pull Uncle Nine's tiger skin as a big banner——"

As he spoke, he smiled and blessed Mrs. Yan. Old Madam Yan smiled faintly and nodded slightly.

However, the rest of these details need to be handled by an elder who is familiar with the way in Beijing. Tell me, who is this man but you? ”

Old Madam Wei shook her head habitually: "Where have I done this?" ”

Shen Hao had been watching from the sidelines, but at this time, he stepped forward and squeezed Old Madam Wei's arm tightly: "Why not?" Grandmother, the family will be idle next year, and it will be boring for you to wipe dominoes with Mama Gan at home every day! With such a big thing in the clan, where are you the only one? Someone must come to help. Besides, if you don't come forward, will you teach your uncle and grandmother to come forward? ”

Compared with the Guogong Mansion, the influence of his own family is much smaller.

Wu Xingshen was a little greedy, and Chen Guogong's Mansion probably didn't want to touch them.

Therefore, this hot potato will definitely be thrown into your own hands.

If you take it happily, you can also earn a trace of goodwill from the Guogong Mansion. When the time comes, there is some confidence in bargaining.

- In case grandmother doesn't answer, Chen Guogong goes directly to Old Lady Shen, and he will definitely agree. At that time, the grandmother still has to do things, but there is one more constraint from Mrs. Shen, which is really not cost-effective.

Old Madam Wei was still hesitating: "There are still two capable daughters-in-law in the Guogong Mansion!" Where will I be found? ”

Old Madam Yan smiled and said, "There are elders in the house. On the other side of the old house, the current patriarch is the fourth brother, but when the time comes, the one who will come to Beijing to help may be a brother or brother and daughter-in-law who is forty or fifty years old. When the time comes, how will you let my two daughters-in-law, who are in their thirties, give orders to others? ”

Gao pursed his lips and smiled: "Aunt Jiu is the most understanding person. ”

Shen Hao saw that his grandmother had already agreed here, and turned his head to look at Gao Shi with a smile: "Okay!" Aunt Gao, I promise for my grandmother! After the Chinese New Year, I accompanied my grandmother to my hometown and invited a few capable uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters to do this together. ”

Old Madam Wei glared at her, dragged her to her side, and said, "Nonsense again!" Where's your turn to speak, little monkey? ”

Old Madam Yan laughed: "We're slight, we can say not a word wrong this time." Come here, come to Grandma. That's it, when things come to an end, it can be called a brave word. As he spoke, he pinched her little nose, and then said: "In addition, you must also benefit all things and make good use of everyone to achieve things." ”

Does that mean anything?

Shen Hao meekly let Mrs. Yan hold her hand, listened carefully to her last sentence, looked up at her, and her apricot eyes flickered: "Yes, not only must you be benevolent, but you must also benefit all things and make good use of everyone to make things happen." ”

Such an informed little girl, Mrs. Yan couldn't help but take it into her arms, praised Mrs. Wei with a smile, and smiled at Lu: "Look, does it look like when we were Runniang when we were young?" ”

Shen Run is Shen Shu's sister, the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, who married the second son of the Kong family of the Zhengqing family of Guanglu Temple the year before last. Because the eldest uncle above her is the eldest son, this youngest son's daughter-in-law is the serious wife of the Kong family. When I entered the door, I followed my mother-in-law to learn housework, and I heard that I will officially take over the feed next year.

Lu Shi also thought of the eldest daughter, his face showed gentleness, and he nodded with a smile: "It's a little similar." ”

The Gao family's big event was decided, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Otherwise, how can you say that the Guogong Mansion is easy to teach, and the water and soil in the capital raise people?" I looked at a few little ladies, but they were much more dignified than the children in the old house. When I go back to play, I take my sisters to see the mountain streams and bamboo forests in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as fresh bamboo shoots. Spring is the time to eat! ”

After saying this, Shen Shuo and Shen Yuan, who were originally a little resentful of Shen Hao, both lit up their eyes, and each of them pulled his mother with one hand: "Mother......"

Lu Shi immediately decided: "Adults talk, you guys are boring to sit here." I know, I know, yes, you sisters go to the garden to pick plum blossoms. I'll pick you up today! ”

A word of nonsense didn't have to kick out all three little girls.

Shen Shuo frowned: "Weiwei your grandmother hurts you like that, if you shout for two days, you will definitely let you follow." It's hard for us to say. ”

Shen Yuan squinted at her and giggled: "Sister Shu will definitely not be able to go." You are looking at each other, grandmother said that the New Year will be decided, and when the time comes, you will be engaged and locked at home! ”

Shen Shuo's face turned red, and he carried it hard: "You are the same!" ”

Shen Yuan blinked mischievously: "But I'm two years younger than you!" I'm in no hurry! ”

Shen Hao looked at them with a smile, and suddenly felt that these two little girls were actually quite funny.
