Chapter 62: Auntie's intentions

In Hemingxuan, Shen Yilan expressed her intention to the two sisters-in-law. The reason why I came to Jingzhao from Shu is to give a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, second, for my husband's exam, and third, I haven't been back to Jingzhao for many years, and I want to come back to see my father and brother and sister-in-law. It's just that I didn't expect Shen Huashan to go to Hanoi Road, and this time I won't see him, the main one is for the second reason.

"Originally, I didn't want to bother my brother, but Wenhua's father has been in poor health in recent years. Shu is bitter and cold, thinking that his political achievements in the past few years are also okay, so he has to trouble his brother. Besides, Wenlan Wenhong's two children also plan to participate in next year's Spring Festival, and the relationship between my father-in-law can no longer be counted on, so I will be cheeky and ask my sisters-in-law to take care of them on my behalf. Shen Yilan said that she had always been a person who kept to herself, and suddenly asked her brother for help, and felt that her face was a little hot.

Fifteen years ago, Shen Yilan married Gu Hengtong, the eldest son of the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and soon Gu Hengtong went to Shu to take up a post, and she also went. Although Shu is bitter and cold, the husband and wife are loving, and the sons are also sensible and competitive, so her life is very good. After her father-in-law died a few years ago, her husband's health began to be not very good, and she hoped that Shen Zejing could add a grade to her husband's evaluation, and it was best to transfer him back to Jing Zhaolai, and his official position was not limited.

Shen Yu said that there was no trouble or trouble, and when Shen Zejing came back from the Gong Gong Division, let Shen Yilan talk to him in person, and she would definitely find a way to transfer her uncle back, let her go to Youxinju to rest first, and then have a good reunion after dinner.

In the evening, Shen Zejing knew Shen Yilan's intention, and he didn't push it, but just said rest assured, I will handle this matter. He thought of his brother-in-law Gu Hengtong's political achievements, and it was not difficult to add a grade to the evaluation, but he was transferred to Jingzhao, and he had to plan it. He asked his nephews a few more words, knowing that they were all preparing and would participate in next year's Spring Festival, he nodded and didn't say anything. Listening to what this sister meant, the two nephews are also people who have the ability to read, so they didn't say anything, and instructed Shen Yu's family to entertain Shen Yilan and the others, and then went busily.

Shen Yu's family was a lot busier because of Shen Yilan's arrival, in addition to instructing his subordinates to serve well in Youxinju, he also personally brought Shen Ning to Youxinju to gossip with Shen Yilan. My aunt and sister-in-law haven't seen each other for a long time, and they have a lot to say, such as the recent situation, children, etc., and time flies quickly. Shen Ning and Gu Wenhua also talked about it, and gave her a lot of jewelry, Shen Mi also sent her calligraphy and paintings, Shen Wan also sent a lot of gadgets that he knitted himself, Gu Wenhua was very good to his uncle's family. , When there were only two of them in the main room of Youxinju, there were only two of them, mother and daughter, and said to Shen Yilan: "Mother, aunt and cousin are all good to us, I knew that I should have come to visit earlier." ”

Shen Yilan listened to her daughter's words, and felt guilty in her heart, in the end, she didn't do enough. In the past, she always felt that she was a concubine, inferior to her own identity, and rarely contacted her mother's brothers. Although there are gifts sent back every year, they rarely take the initiative to come back, but Shen Yu's family will prepare heavy gifts and send them to Shu every year. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't, I have something to ask for, my brother agreed without saying anything, this is my own family, I want to be more close!

Shen Yilan thought so, so she said to Gu Wenhua: "Your aunts and uncles are all good, you can take a good look, this is everyone's style." Act in moderation and have a broad heart, you have to learn these things, don't be polluted by the pickles of your aunt's house, fight back and forth, and the harmony and tranquility of the back house is the image of a prosperous family. The aunt she said was the wife of her husband's brother Gu Hengchang, who fought with her aunt and concubine in the back house all day long, and there were many private affairs that came out. She used this to educate Gu Wenhua, and she didn't want her to learn that way.

"Mother, I see." Gu Wenhua smiled and said that she had an idea, and she felt that this trip to Jingzhao was really right.

This is not yet the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Shen Yu family has ushered in another relative, and the Shen family is even more lively. It's not appropriate to say that it is a relative, this is also from his own family, and the relationship with Shen Yilan is also very good, the person who came is Shen Kaishan's concubine Shen Yixian, she and Shen Yilan are about the same age, married to Xu Guangyu, the concubine of Xu Maofeng, the governor of Guangzhou, as his wife, this time he came to Jingzhao to follow her husband to send money to Uncle Xu Guangyao, and did not bring children, Jingzhao naturally came to visit the Shen family, and brought a lot of gifts, I didn't want to see Shen Yilan also came, and the sisters have not seen each other for many years, so they are all pleasantly surprised, They talked about their old feelings to each other, and reported the latest situation, and they could hear the laughter from He Mingxuan from a distance.

"I, I gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and my husband is taking care of the housework, just like the second brother, and my life is passable! Thinking about coming to Jingzhao, I haven't seen my brothers and sisters-in-law for a long time, and the children are all older, so I came with me this time. Shen Yixian is a very arrogant person, and now she has finished explaining the matter in a few words like pouring beans, and she said unabashedly: "If it weren't for the fact that my uncle and brother were in Jingzhao, I wouldn't want to come!" Shen Yu and Shen Yilan both smiled secretly when they heard her words. Shen Yixian is like this in the boudoir, now that the children are very big, she can still maintain such a nature, it can be seen that life is not only passable, but must be quite comfortable, otherwise how can she maintain her innocence as always? I also learned that Xu Guangyu did not take a concubine, which was very good to her, and I knew it in my heart, no wonder!

Shen Yixian talked a little about her children, she wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Shen family like Shen Yilan, but her uncle's home was also in Jingzhao, if she spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Shen family, she would say that she would not go, and there was a little regret in her tone.

"What's this, isn't it all in Jingzhao, while my aunt and grandmother are also in Jingzhao. You can come whenever you want, and you don't have to wait for this night! Shen Hushi said quickly, her temper is somewhat similar to Shen Yixian, and the things she comes into contact with are similar, and she is more speculative when she speaks.

After revealing this matter, several women talked about other gossip, such as Shen Yixian asked Hu Shi'an Hetang with great interest if business was much better after he got the imperial book; Shen Yilan also said that along the way, she heard many people mention the kindness and benevolence of Li Guifei and the five princes, and asked what was going on. Shen Yushi also talked about Shen Huashan's situation in Hanoi Province, and said that there were many people who came to visit recently for the year-end exam, and she pushed them one by one.

The atmosphere with Mingxuan was also quite harmonious, Shen Yuchen and Shen Qingde's children were also laughing stupidly on the side, and they didn't understand what these adults were talking about, as if they heard hundreds of birds chirping, noisy and laughing......
