Chapter 5 Aunts and sisters
Before he stepped into Heming Xuan, Shen Ning heard bursts of words, mixed with a few laughs, some young, some old, some girl, and some maids, it seemed to be very lively. When I walked in, I saw a group of women of all sizes surrounding Shen Yu's side, no wonder I heard the sound so far away, and everyone dared to love today.
In the main room of Heming Xuan, Shen Yu sat in the center, enthusiastic and lively when he held a banquet, with a steady face, listening to the women and girls around him, and occasionally showing a smile. Shen Yu's family is Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today, her mother-in-law has passed away, and she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law, and she has been a housekeeper for a few years, and she has already experienced a majesty, and the Shen family has been organized in a certain manner.
Sitting on the left side of Shen Yu's is the daughter-in-law Shen An's, Shen An's is about to give birth, the doctor told her to do walking around, and she insists on coming to Shen Yu's here every day to ask for peace, and Shen Yuxian is far away in Xiangzhou, she spends a lot of time here in Shen Yu's every day, telling jokes to make fun, learning to learn the mother-in-law's housekeeping way, and contacting the sister-in-law to contact feelings, it is easy to pass the time.
To the right of Shen Yu's is Aunt Li of Caiwei Courtyard, who is raising her eyes to Shen Yu's family, and her expression is also a little respectful, and her posture is beautiful, compared with Shen Yu's atmosphere, there is a different taste. Aunt Li is a few years younger than Shen Yu's family, she is Shen Zejing's first aunt, she gave birth to a daughter, named Shen Mi, who is sitting next to her, an eleven-year-old girl, her appearance is much better than Shen Ning, combing a simple flying fairy bun, a little shrunken, it can be seen that she is an introvert or a little cowardly, she is listening carefully to what everyone is saying.
Shen An's next head is Shen Zejing's second aunt, Aunt He of Bihe Courtyard, who is the one who speaks loudly and quickly, which causes everyone to laugh. Aunt He's personality is direct and hearty, but her appearance is quite delicate, and her almond eyes seem to be able to speak, which makes people feel comfortable when she looks at it. Shen Wan, who came out of her, is only six years old now, and she only ties two twisted braids, wrapped them with fan threads, and her round face is immature and cute.
Seeing Shen Ning push the door out, the two aunts and sisters, as well as the maid next to them, all stood up and said hello, and Aunt Li also moved her position so that Shen Ning could sit close to Shen Yu's family. Shen Yu's family gave birth to four sons in a row, and only then did they get Shen Ning's daughter, and they were very pampered and valued, so the people around them also smiled at Shen Ning with great eyes.
Shen Ning saw everyone one by one, greeted his sister-in-law again, and greeted Li and He, then sat down, looking at the people in this room, his face was not obvious, but his heart was surging and rolling. This is her family, how many years have it been before I saw them again. It turns out that Shen Wan was so cute when she was young, and it turned out that Aunt Li was so good when she was young, why didn't she remember it, why didn't she leave these impressions in her mind in her previous life?
In her previous life, Shen Mi died very early, not long after she married the young son of the brutal military department Shangshu, and she died less than three months after marriage. After that, she only remembered Aunt Li's withered and empty face, until she died with the extinction of the Shen family, what Shen Ning remembered was always her old look.
Aunt He, who was also martyred by Shen Zejing in the end, I don't know if she would remember Shen Wan's round face with baby fat when she was a child before she hanged herself?
and Shen Wan, how she died in the end, Shen Ning doesn't seem to remember much, and Shen An's family, along with the children she born, who were Shen Ning's nephews, all withered away one by one in the end.
Fortunately, fortunately, it is only thirty-five years now, and now they are all here, and they are still getting together to talk and laugh, Shen Ning couldn't help but be grateful, remembering the cold indifference to her aunt and sister in her previous life, those few traces of dissatisfaction and resentment were long gone when the family was destroyed, and after the eternal separation of heaven and man, she knew that these people were still alive, what it meant. In this world, she still has a younger sister, these two sisters who suffered a lot like her in their previous lives, they have the same father, and they are brothers and sisters who are connected by blood.
Shen Ning felt that her eyes were a little moist, and Shen Yu's family, she looked at her mother with admiration, she was still as calm as she remembered. When she looked at herself, there was undisguised softness and pity in her eyes. This is her mother, even if the past and present lives are combined, she is older than Shen Yu's, Shen Ning still wants to throw herself into her arms, cry happily, and ask her for comfort and shelter.
"Ning'er, what's wrong?" Xu is Shen Ning's expression was sad and silent, Shen Yu couldn't help but ask, and the others also quieted down, looking at her in unison, even the six-year-old Shen Wan looked at her ignorantly.
Seeing this, Shen Ning also smiled and said, "It's nothing, what were you talking about just now, mother?" ”
"Before you say anything, you're here." Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Shen Ning's expression, Shen Yu replied. Because I just returned to Jingzhao not long ago, there are not many things, I didn't visit relatives and friends, only Shen Zejing's people in this room are talking about family life, and the atmosphere is good. The Shen family is a very traditional family, and there are a lot of family mottos and ancestral trainings, so although Shen Zejing has a wife and two concubines, those pickled things in the backyard of other people's houses did not appear in Shen Zejing's room, and Shen Yu's family has four sons, and the two aunts have only one daughter each, so they will not shake Shen Yu's position at all, and there is nothing to fight, so Shen Yu's family is also more tolerant of the two aunts, and spoils the concubines and destroys their wives? Shen Zejing himself will not let himself go.
While speaking, Aunt Li said something to Shen Yu's family, saying that her mother's sister wanted to come and borrow it for a few days, so she asked Shen Yu's permission, and finally wiped her eyes, choked up, and said: "My sister is also a poor ......" It turned out that Aunt Li's parents had died a long time ago, and she had no brothers, only such a sister-in-law, who married a businessman surnamed Yan from other places as his wife. Although the businessman is very profitable, but it is also very good to her, and the life is also beautiful, but her husband died suddenly a few days ago, leaving only a fifteen-year-old son, an orphan and a widow, her character is already cowardly, and the ruthless brother and sister-in-law bully the family property, and the persecution has no choice but to take the only little family wealth left, come to Jingzhao to join his sister.
Everyone sighed for a while, and Shen Yu said: "Just let her settle down, and she doesn't limit herself to a few days, she can live as long as she wants, and she can help each other as much as she can." Aunt Li thanked her for a while, and everyone also said that Shen Yu's generosity was good and the capacity was good.
Shen Yushi put down the teacup, said with a heavy face: "Don't talk about these, they are all a family, what is there to say about generosity?" Today is Aunt Li's mother's family, no matter which one of you he is, I will not sit idly by. I only have one rule, there are no dirty things in other people's houses in this backyard, otherwise I will be unkind, and I will sell it casually, and the master will not say anything! The crowd agreed.
Shen Yu said to Li again: "When your sister comes, bring her to show me, and that child, it's pitiful." The tone was also sympathetic, with a little compassion, and Aunt Li nodded yes.
When Shen Ning saw Shen Yu's actions, he couldn't help but praise it, and he used it with grace and power, this mother used it perfectly. Seeing my mother like this, my grandfather's goddaughter does have a set, no wonder people praised Xishan Yu's family.
A few days later, Aunt Li brought her sister and nephew to visit Shen Yu's family, and Shen Ning also saw a few of them behind the screen. Aunt Li's sister is indeed a weak one, I saw her say in a loud voice: "Thank you, Mrs., thank you for your gratitude...... and I can't thank you enough" There was nothing else to say, and the young man next to her also made a gesture to Shen Yu to express his gratitude.
Shen Yushi said politely and gave the young man a big red envelope, saying that it was a meeting gift for his nephew. In the end, he also comforted: "The deceased has passed away, don't think about it anymore, it's better to live a good life in the future." If you have any difficulties, just find Aunt Li. He also explained that if Aunt Li had any difficulties, she could come to her at any time.
Shen Ning watched the young man retreat from behind the screen, and sighed in his heart. Mother didn't know, but she knew that Aunt Li's nephew, the boy named Yan Shang, was a business wizard, and no one expected to create a big situation later. At that time, he was only in his thirties, but everyone called him "Yan Shangzi".
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Ning had a plan in his heart, took Shen Yu's arm, and exaggeratedly sighed: "They are so pitiful, Jing Zhaoju, it's not easy, what do they do for a living." Hearing Shen Yu's laughter, he asked, "How do you know that Jing Zhaoju is not easy?" ”
"I heard from the second uncle a few days ago, isn't he in charge of our family's business, I heard him nag a few words that day, and said that no one helped him or anything. Father also said that since ancient times, he has been hungry and surprised, does it mean that the elder brother of the Yan family will be very powerful in the future? The girl was innocent, only twelve years old, and what she said also made Shen Yushi pause.
When people are poor, the favors and cold eyes they receive will be in their hearts, and they will gradually be magnified with the increase of experiences in their lives thereafter, and they should not be forgotten. Although I don't ask him to remember his kindness, but they are lonely and widowed, and they are indeed miserable, and they still have to be human to the end, Shen Yu had this idea in his heart.
In the evening, Shen Zejing stayed in her room. The husband and wife talked about their families and children, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Different from the tenderness and sweetness of the husband and wife when they were young, they have come down with each other over the years, and the concern of five children lingers, which has accumulated over time, but has made the relationship between the two people deeper.
Shen Yu told Shen Zejing about this, and said: "Presumably Aunt Li also told you, I look at the child, it is also pitiful, I heard that he still has some talent in business, why don't you put him to the second uncle to get an errand?" I heard Ning'er mention that her second uncle has also been short of manpower recently, and it is good to be able to help run errands. ”
When Shen Zejing heard this, he felt that Shen Yu's family was very thoughtful, and he treated the concubines very kindly, and even planned the benefits for them. He replied with satisfaction immediately: "You can arrange such a trivial matter, and it is very good to arrange it this way." Such a good wife is the blessing of him Shen Zejing, and since then, he has become more and more fond of Shen Yu's family, which is a later story.
