Chapter 61: It's Getting Lively
"Isn't there any news from Xiyan?" Hu Butu asked Shen Zeyuan, and when he saw that the other party shook his head, he was not disappointed. He knew that time had passed recently, and it was normal for him to have no news. Shen Huashan's plan, he knows a little bit about it, although he looks honest and honest, but he doesn't have a lot of eyes. Years of experience in business told him that it was right to go with this little old man Shen Huashan! In the matter of the layout of Xiyan, Shen Huashan mentioned it to him, and he immediately agreed, and also sent many elites of the clan to follow the delegation to Xiyan.
Hu Butu didn't stay in the Shen family for long, he still had to discuss with the shopkeeper Hu about welcoming the imperial book, only briefly talked about the recent situation of the Hu family and Jiangnan, and said that he would let Shen Hu go to Anhetang to talk about the father and daughter in two days, and then left.
On the first day of August, the whole Xianghe Street is lit up with colorful firecrackers, and there are lion dances and other celebration activities, which are lively. , the street is also bustling, because the three shops that have been rewarded by the imperial book are located on Xianghe Street, and many people are rushing to join in the fun of this name. Shen Hu took Shen Yule, Shen Ning, and Shen Yao to the Anhetang branch of Xianghe Street, and the shopkeeper Hu was greeting customers with a smile, so he rushed to this plaque, Anhetang's business today is very good, and valuable medicinal materials such as ginseng and dendrobium have also been sold.
When I entered Anhe Hall, I saw that the plaque of "Righteous Business and Taoism" was hanging steadily above the main hall, and there were many people pointing at the imperial book. Shen Ning looked at the vigorous Changtai Emperor's handwriting, the momentum of the Son of Heaven was there, but it seemed that something was missing, in comparison, the momentum of Taizu's handwriting was more impressive, Shen Ning commented in his heart.
"Compared with Taizu's handwriting, it is more cramped." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him. Shen Ning turned his head and looked, it turned out to be Ying Nantu! Coincidentally, he also came to join in the fun? Also commented that the imperial book has a cramped atmosphere? Shen Ning had a smile in her eyes, and nodded at Ying Nantu, there were a lot of people, so she didn't go to say hello.
Ying Nantu also saw Shen Ning, he didn't expect to see her again so soon. She is wearing a lake-green skirt, it seems that this little girl is particularly fond of green, the last time it seems to be bean green, and the last time it seems to be dark green, right? Ying Nantu laughed a little, why did he remember these sesame things so clearly? But after seeing the little girl nodding to him, he followed the other little girls to the backyard, and said goodbye in a hurry when he saw this side.
Hu Butu returned to Jiangnan after welcoming the imperial book, and he also wanted to go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Shen family was much more lively because of the return of Shen Yuhong and others. These two people also felt the concern for their home, and they stayed in Hemingxuan for a lot longer, and together with Shen Ning, they teased Shen Yuchen to play.
A few days later, Shen Ning was talking to Ming Xuan with Shen Yu as usual, Shen Mi and Shen Wan were also teasing Shen Qingde and Shen Yuchen on the side, and even Shen An was sitting on the side with a big belly and a smile, watching his son and everyone playing.
Suddenly, Yu's mother came to report, saying that the eldest aunt and grandmother had sent someone to send letters and Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, and the servant was waiting outside the door with Mingxuan. Shen Yushi opened the letter and looked at it, it turned out to be Shen Yilan, the aunt and grandmother who was married to Shudi, said that she could go to Shen's house before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she would send letters and gifts to greet her first. Shen Yilan is Shen Huashan's only daughter, and when she was not out of the cabinet, she got along well with Shen Yu's family.
Visiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival? There must be something going on, Shen Yu thought so, and hurriedly asked the servant to come in and ask, knowing that Shen Yilan was all right, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled. But he also instructed Yu's mother to reward him, thinking that there were not many days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he would soon know the reason, and he was not in a hurry, so he ordered his subordinates to clean up the secluded residence where Shen Yilan lived before she got married, and waited for Shen Yilan's arrival.
On August 12, three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Yilan finally came to Shen's house. She has been married for fifteen years, and she has spent most of her time in Shudi, and she has returned to her parents' house very few times. At this moment, when I saw Shen Yu and Shen Hu, I was very excited, and I remembered the wanton carefree when I was in the boudoir, I couldn't help but shed tears, bent down to salute, and choked up and said: "I've seen my sister-in-law......
Shen Yu and Shen Hu's eyes were a little red, they also had feelings for this only sister-in-law, and ordered her to send her salutes and other items to Youxinju. Youxinju was Shen Yilan's courtyard before she got married, and she hadn't moved much over the years.
Shen Yilan was full of tired breath on the road, but her spirit was fine, as if she remembered something, she beckoned behind her and said, "You haven't come to see your aunt yet?" Shen Yu and the others saw a teenage girl walking up from behind Shen Yilan, and bowed to the two of them generously: "My niece Wenhua has seen the eldest aunt and the second aunt, and I have said hello to my aunt." The tone was brisk, and then I looked at the little girl's heroic face, although she was young, she could also faintly see the air of courage and perseverance. This temperament is like the daughter of the general, and she is not similar to Shen Yilan at all! It turned out that this little girl was Shen Yilan's only daughter, her name was Gu Wenhua, Shen Yilan had two sons and a daughter.
Shen Yu's and Shen Hu's didn't need to be polite, they both gave a meeting gift, and let Shen Ning, Shen Yao and others who followed them come forward to see the eldest aunt. , Shen Ning, Shen Mi, Shen Yao and Shen Jia are all older than Gu Wenhua, and they all call them "sister", and they seem to be very friendly, Shen Wan and Shen Hui are younger than Gu Wenhua, and they hurriedly called "sister", with a close look on their faces. Several people were a little curious about this sister from Shudi.
Shen Yilan gave them a meeting gift, all of them were the same peanut-like silver, and all the little girls saluted and said thank you aunt. At the suggestion of Shen Yu's family, a few little girls took Gu Wenhua, together with a group of maids and women, and went out of He Mingxuan. Knowing that the adults have something to say, Shen Ning proposed to go to Qingzhuju to pass the time first, and then go to Youxinju to rest together after the adults have discussed things, Gu Wenhua was very straightforward, and did not shirk, a few little girls said and laughed and went to Qingzhuju, during which Gu Wenhua tasted Xia Ci's new dim sum, and was full of praise, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
Shen Ning looked at this heroic little cousin, extremely unfamiliar and a little distracted. She hadn't seen Gu Wenhua, but she knew that she had a talented elder brother Gu Wenlan, Gu Wenlan, a tanhualang who had been in Thailand for forty years. In the Mid-Autumn Festival in the previous life, Shen Yilan did not come to the Shen family, but remembered that at the end of the year, her uncle Gu Hengtong died of illness in Shudi, leaving Shen Yilan orphans and widows. Why did my aunt and this little cousin appear in the Shen family in this life? She couldn't figure it out.
