Chapter 31: The Return of the Third Uncle and the Big Brother
Before Shen Zegao and Shen Yuxian came back, the Shen family also did a major event, that is, they set a marriage for Shen Yuhong, and the object was Cheng Yanyan, the eldest daughter of Cheng Fangyuan of Dali Temple. This marriage was in the suburbs of Beijing in June, when the two parties had intentions, but after returning from Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, the matter was not broken, and then Shen Yu's became pregnant, and the matter was delayed, and when her fetal image was stable, she brought it up again. Not long ago, in order to show their sincerity, the Shen family invited Shen Jinghua to protect the media, and then Shen Jinghua and Jingzhao official media went to the family to propose marriage, and on the tenth day of December, the two sides exchanged Geng posts, and the matter was decided. As for matters such as making a decision and asking a date, because Cheng Yanyan has not yet arrived, she is not in a hurry, so she will take her time step by step, and I will talk about it later. Because of this festive event, although all families were very busy before the New Year, the Shen family still set up a banquet and invited the in-laws of Jingzhao's family to get together to witness and celebrate Shen Yuhong's marriage.
During this period, Shen Yule and other brothers couldn't help but make fun of Shen Yuhong for going to the suburbs of Beijing and getting a lady, saying that it was a marriage, and he didn't expect to get married in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and he wanted Shen Yuhong to get married, and he must go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to thank him, etc., even Shen Ning laughed a little teasingly. Shen Yuhong naturally didn't let them laugh in vain, and also replied that when you all kissed, see how I laughed at you and the like, thinking of the mellow figure I saw in secret, I couldn't help but have a little joy and expectation: Lao Tzu, I am also about to get married.
In such preparations and expectations, the Shen family welcomed back Shen Zegao's family and Shen Yuxian one after another. Lingnan Road is far away, and Shen Zegao's family has already left, so they arrived two days earlier than Shen Yuxian, and when they arrived in Jingzhao, it was already twenty-six, and there were still four days to celebrate the New Year. Shen Zegao and his party had just returned to Shen's house, and Shen Zeyuan also hurried back, it turned out that a small servant saw Shen Zegao and others on Xianghe Street, and hurriedly ran to Longjingzhai to inform Shen Zeyuan, Shen Zeyuan was naturally excited when he saw his brother. As for Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing, because they hadn't gone down to the court yet, they could only see Shen Zegao and his party at night.
Shen Zegao first respectfully greeted Shen Huashan, his eyes were slightly red, and then asked his sons Shen Yuwen and Shen Yutao who followed him to come forward to greet his grandfather, and then said hello to his eldest brother Shen Zejing. Shen Zegao is five years younger than Shen Zejing, since he was a child, he has been taking care of this eldest brother, and the two brothers have a deep relationship, Shen Zejing was also very happy to see Shen Zegao, and he couldn't stop saying: "It's good to come back, it's good to be ...... back", and smiled at the nephews, so that Shen Yuwen and Shen Yubi exchanged glances: Didn't you say that this uncle was very strict with his son and nephew, and he didn't think it......
Shen Zejing saw the tired look on Shen Zegao's face, so he thought about letting them go to Shitangxuan to rest first, but he heard Shen Zegao talk about his wife Shen Cai, and he was diagnosed as pregnant before leaving, thinking that the journey was far away, so he would not come back, and his two daughters Shen Tong and Shen Ying also stayed in Lingnan and did not come back with him, please forgive my father and eldest brother, etc.
"This is a festive event, what is ......there to forgive and not forgive," Shen Zejing said, saying that he sent someone to tell Shen Yu's family that it was, and let Shen Zegao and others rest first. Shen Zegao and others were indeed tired, and said that they would take Shen Yuwen and others to meet the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law in two days, and then went to Shitangxuan to rest.
After two days, He Mingxuan was very lively, Shen Zejing, Shen Zeyuan and Shen Hu were also there, Shen Zegao took Shen Yuwen and Shen Yubi to Shen Yu and Shen Hu to ask for peace, and said Shen Cai's affairs, and congratulated Shen Cai, and didn't stay long, so he took his son and left Hemingxuan with Shen Zejing and Shen Zeyuan.
"I didn't expect the third brother and sister to be pregnant, one or two of you are really blessed......" Shen Hu also joked to the sister-in-law, there are still a few days before the New Year, and things are basically over, so she has time to stay with Ming Xuan.
Shen Yu's smiled and was silent, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard Yu's mother come in with joy: Shen Yuxian is back, and he has already met with Shen Huashan, Shen Zejing and others in the front yard, and it should not be long before he comes to Mingxuan. Hearing the news, Shen Yu's family was overjoyed, the child is the mother's heart, especially when he and Shen Yuxian haven't seen each other for more than a year, Shen Yu's family is even more anxious, and he can't wait to see his son immediately.
"The child said goodbye to his mother......" Shen Yuxian respectfully greeted Shen Yu's family, with a dusty face, it can be seen that he didn't even freshen up, so he came to Mingxuan, his parents are the biggest, and he also saw Shen Yu's family early.
"Lost weight......" Shen Yushi looked at Shen Yuxian with tears in his eyes, and saw that his young face had a hint of perseverance than before, and the fatigue born from the rush was also obvious, but his eyes were bright and bright, and he showed admiration and care for Shen Yu's eyes.
"Mother should take care of her health and add an extra brother to me." Shen Yuxian smiled and cared about Shen Yu's belly, remembering that the last time he saw his wife with such a big belly, he was very emotional.
"Hurry back to Liuhe Courtyard to see your daughter-in-law and grandson, they are also anxious to wait for you......" Although there are countless words and care to say, Shen Yu's family remembered that Shen An's family must be as anxious as she is to see Shen Yuxian, and Shen Yuxian has not seen his son yet, so he quickly drove Shen Yuxian out of He Mingxuan and asked him to hurry back to Liuhe Academy.
Shen Yuxian cared for Shen Yu's family again and again, so he said goodbye and went back to Liuhe Hospital, and he was very excited to see his wife and son.
On the day that Shen Yuxian returned to Jingzhao, Shen Huashan spoke: The whole family got together for dinner to celebrate the return of Shen Zegao and Shen Yuxian, so the Shen family felt the atmosphere of reunion in advance, and Shen Ning also met his third uncle and eldest brother and cousin.
Dinner was placed in the hall of the main courtyard, and the four generations were all together, Shen Huashan, Shen Zejing, the three brothers, Shen Yuxian and others, and Shen Qingde's children, set up four big tables, and they were a little crowded before they sat down, and they all sat down.
When Shen Ning saw Shen Yuxian, he couldn't hold back his excitement. He was still standing, his eyebrows were flying, full of vigor but steady, and standing next to him was the gentle and smiling Shen An, Shen Qingde was held by the nurse and stood behind the two, squeaking and struggling to get off the ground.
This is the eldest brother, Shen Ning remembered the eldest brother in his memory who looked depressed in a wheelchair, his eyes were wet, so good, really good! It's nice that he's still standing at this time! When he saw Shen Yuxian looking over as if he was sensitive, he hurriedly lowered his head to eat and cover up.
Little sister, what's wrong? His eyes are so eager that his heart is furious...... Shen Yuxian thought with some doubts, are you so excited to see me? The age difference between him and Shen Ning is too big, and the two spend very little time together, although they also love this only sibling sister very much in their hearts, but they really don't have much contact. Hearing her husband's inquiry, Shen Anshi also whispered to her husband: It's okay, she has been like this for most of the year, and everyone seems to be very excited when she sees her.
Shen Yuxian was relieved at this time, and glanced at Shen Ning lovingly, thinking that the objects brought back from Xiangzhou should be picked up for this little sister, so he turned his head and toasted with Shen Huashan, Shen Zejing and others.
Shen Yuwen and Shen Yutao soon became familiar with Shen Yuxuan, Shen Yuping and others, they were all the same age, they were all half-grown children, several boys sat together and there were endless topics, Shen Yushou and others also joined in, the scene was the most noisy at this table, the laughter and slapstick did not stop, and the rule of eating without saying anything was forgotten by everyone, Shen Huashan did not put on a face, smiled happily, looked at the children and grandchildren of Yitang, and drank a lot of wine, happy.
Shen Ning was also very happy about the return of the eldest brother and the third uncle, and after the family banquet, she and Shen Yu, Shen Hu and others were discussing the New Year with Mingxuan with great interest, and also discussed with other sisters about the New Year's new clothes and new jewelry. Shen Mi and Shen Wan, the two little girls, were very excited, and Shen Wan also used filament to weave a lot of festive reunion patterns, and even the window flowers were cut out of a peony TOEFL pattern, which made Shen Ning and Shen Mi admire for a while.
Qingzhu home is also filled with the joy of the New Year, spring, summer, autumn and winter and qin, chess, calligraphy and painting eight maids clean the inside and outside of Qingzhu home, but also pasted self-cut window flowers, everyone's face has joy. After a few months of training and getting along, the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting have been very adapted to the life of Qingzhuju, although the girl has few words, she is an easy person to get along with, and she will not bully them in spring, summer, autumn and winter, so several people are very happy to come to Qingzhuju, and they are more and more attentive to Shen Ning's service.
"Cai Fu of the Gong family heard that she was seriously ill and had left Miss Gong's side, and the new one who came in was Cai Fan, who was originally a second-class girl......" Qiu Ju served Shen Ning while telling her about the Gong family, it was about to be the New Year, and the maids sent each other a little more, so the news was also known in a timely manner.
"It's the New Year, you guys also take a break, these are all in a hurry." Qiu Ge has always been very conscientious, and even the verbosity is much less, I think it is the matter of being responsible for the strict situation that makes this little girl a lot calmer. Shen Ning asked them to concentrate on preparing for the New Year, and then explained that Qiu Ge took the silver taels and the New Year's gift to Qiu Wu and them, at the end of the year, the grasshopper had grown to eight people, for the secret agent, it was really not less, Shen Ning also treated them very favorably, especially in terms of money.
Although it is impossible to measure what the grasshopper has done with money, this is indeed Shen Ning's intention, and he will not lose it one day.
