Chapter 356: Here it is
Because he is so close and his own family, Shen Ning will not give a post to his third aunt Shen Cai. The guards of the county government of Shaoxian County have long been ordered, and Shen Ning does not need to be stopped when he enters the backyard of the county office, this is the Shen family from Jing Zhaolai.
When Shen Ning took Qiu Ge to the backyard of the county government, he happened to see Shen Cai's packing boxes of silk and other things, and Shen Cai's face was still looking at all this with a satisfied smile on his face.
Beside her, she was accompanied by two young girls, about fifteen or sixteen years of age, one of whom was still blushing, the other childish.
"Big girl, you're here, come quickly, help the third aunt take a look. You are a discerning person, how are these things prepared? Is there something else to add? Seeing Shen Ning coming in, Shen Cai hurriedly greeted and said.
Shen Ning has been in Shao County for a month, and he has been with Shen Cai's for a long time, and this pair of aunts and nieces are very familiar with each other. Shen Cai thought that Shen Ning also had experience in this, so he just came to take a look and give advice.
Shen Ning listened to Shen Cai's words, first saluted her, and then said with a smile: "I've seen the third aunt." I think it's all good. Sister Jing must also be very satisfied. ”
Hearing her say this, the girl next to her blushed, her face was even more like fire. And when Shen Caishi heard her say this, he said "haha" and smiled: "Presumably too." I've been preparing for this for a long time. This box of things was carried to Xu's house, and it also had a face. ”
Hearing Shen Cai's words, Shen Ning couldn't help but want to laugh, this third aunt is different from her mother's thick and heavy, and different from the second aunt's straightforwardness and pungency, but has a heroic and chivalrous spirit, and likes to be straightforward in what she says and does. The same is true today when it comes to the dowry of children.
Hearing Shen Cai's words, the girl who blushed took a deep breath, as if she hadn't heard these words. Then he stepped forward quickly and said to Shen Ning: "Sister Ning, you also come to make fun of my ......",
The immature girl next to her, who had been smiling, stepped forward, bowed to Shen Ning, and said, "Sister Ning......"
Shen Ning also greeted them with a smile, and was in a very comfortable mood. The box of things that Shen Cai took care of was the dowry she prepared for her daughter.
These two girls, the one who blushed was Shen Jing, who was about to get married. Slightly younger. It's Shen Ying. Both of them are from Shen Cai's family, and they are Shen Ning's cousins.
Shen Jing is sixteen years old this year, and she is scheduled to get married in May. It is the eldest grandson of Xu Maofeng, the governor of Guangzhou Zhichong Prefecture, that is, the eldest son of Xu Guangyao in Kubu Langzhong. This marriage can be regarded as a kiss and a kiss, because Shen Yixian, Shen Yixian, the concubine who is open-minded, also married to the Xu family.
In the Xu family, according to the seniority, Shen Jing still has to call Shen Yixian a second aunt. Both aunts and nephews married into the same family, isn't this a kiss and a kiss?
Although Shen Ning always felt that the Xu family's generation was a little twisted and turned. But he was still happy for Shen Jing. Xu Guangyao's eldest son has always been in Guangzhou, and he is under Xu Maofeng's knees, presumably his appearance and character are not bad, this is a good marriage.
"Sister Ning, you're here. The story of the bearded man you told us last time. I haven't finished talking yet......" Shen Ying said with a smile, she has not yet reached the end of her life, and her temperament is most similar to Shen Cai's.
Last time, Shen Ning told her an assassin story, which she also heard from Ying Nantu, but she didn't expect that she liked it so much that she always recited it.
Shen Ning smiled, as if when he returned to Jianhua Hall, he was with Shen Mi, Shen Yao and others.
When Shen Zegao returned to Beijing for the New Year, he only brought Shen Yuwen and Shen Yutao's two sons back, and Shen Ning had never gotten along with Shen Jing and Shen Ying, two cousins.
Now that I have come to Shaoxian, I have found that these two cousins have very good qualities.
Presumably, the third uncle also brought the Shen family's family style to Lingnan, and Shen Cai's family was also born in a civil official family, such parents, even if the children they taught, even if they have shortcomings, they are not far behind.
"Do you have enough minions with you? If you don't use it well, I still have a few clever ones here that can be used for a while. When you come to Shaoxian, you are not allowed to be polite to the third aunt. After counting the dowry in the courtyard, Shen Cai took Shen Ning, Shen Jing and others back to the room.
The residence here in Lingnan is quite different from Jingzhao, although it is also a courtyard with three entrances and two entrances, between each entrance, there is no such interval as the hanging flower door, but a vacant lot, on which there are several pots of flowers, which are regarded as two entrances and three entrances.
Such a pattern is called "patio" here in Shaoxian, and this kind of decoration makes Shen Ning feel very curious.
Although she had been to Xining Road, which was farther away from Jingzhao, she felt that the architectural pattern of Xining Road was similar to that of Jingzhao, but the houses here on Lingnan Road were unique.
"Thank you, Aunt San. There are already quite a few servants I brought with me from Jingzhao. Besides, in the courtyard, there were already mothers-in-law and maids on errands, and they did things properly. Besides, in the courtyard, there are only me and the two people who retreat, and I don't want to toss too much, the manpower is enough. ”
Shen Ning turned his attention back to the architectural style, and said to Shen Cai with a smile, thanking her for her kindness. Shen Cai's two sons, Shen Yuwen and Shen Yubi, have been studying in Jingzhao for many years, and Shen Zejing and Shen Yu's have also taken care of them.
While Shen Ning and Shen Cai's were talking, Shen Jing and Shen Ying were also looking at Shen Ning. They had heard of this cousin's name for a long time, after all, she was the only daughter of her uncle, and she was the oldest in their generation, the eldest daughter, and she would always receive more attention.
originally thought that this cousin must be the kind of high-minded and a little proud and cold, after all, the eldest daughter of the Lingnan official family, they have seen a lot, and most of them have this expression.
didn't expect this cousin to be so peaceful...... Uh, how to say it, when she talked to them, the tolerance in her tone made Shen Jing and Shen Ying feel like they were separated by a generation
It's so weird! Shen Jing and Shen Ying themselves didn't know why they had such a strange feeling. They don't know that according to the age of the past and present lives, the two of them can indeed be regarded as the next generation......
Shen Ning and Shen Cai were talking, and suddenly a slave and maid came outside to report: "Madam, the master asked you to go to the study quickly, there is something urgent......
What's the matter? What's so important about the study? Hearing this, Shen Cai's brows furrowed. Is there anything important that you can't talk about going back to the backyard, and you have to go to the study?
Although he was so puzzled, Shen Cai also quickly stood up and said to Shen Ning: "I'll come when I go, you sisters, talk here...... I have ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch, and the eldest girl will eat here. ”
Shen Cai hurriedly said this and went out. When I crossed the threshold, I almost tripped and fell, which shows that I was also anxious.
"I don't know what my father is looking for my mother to go to the study, maybe it's for my sister's family, right?" After Shen Cai, who was an elder, left, the atmosphere of the room immediately changed, and it seemed to be much more relaxed. Shen Ying also began to tease Shen Jing.
"Whoa! As you would say. After you are ready, you have to let me say it......" There were no elders at this time, listening to Shen Ying's teasing, Shen Jing naturally didn't follow, and fought back with a smile.
Listening to Shen Jing and Shen Ying's mutual teasing, Shen Ning also smiled slightly. She felt that after she came to Lingnan Road, her smile increased, and she felt that it was very rare to feel so relaxed. Laughing with his sisters in the boudoir, such a situation is rare for Shen Ning.
It's not that the relationship between her and Shen Mi and Shen Wan is not good, but because of her identity and responsibility, in Shen Ning's memory, except for when she persuaded Shen Mi to deal with Prince Liangdi easily, she had similar teasing, but at other times, she didn't remember it very well.
Immediately, Shen Ning thought of Shen Cai's who left in a hurry, what was the third uncle so anxious to let the third aunt go to the study? The county government study is the office place, and the third aunt is a woman in the house, so it is really curious to go to the study in such a hurry.
Shen Ning would think so much, or for the reason of coming to Lingnan Road. Before leaving, Shen Huashan told them to come to Lingnan Road to meet Uncle Kaishan and them to assist them in matters here in Lingnan Road.
After they arrived, Shen Zegao also told them about it. Shen Huashan's letter, Shen Zegao had already received it, although he didn't know what use this niece and niece and son-in-law could be, but what his father ordered, he must do.
But before they could discuss this issue, the news of the national funeral spread to Shao County, and Shen Zegao was extremely busy. Coupled with the fact that Shen Ning and Ying Nantu had to settle down and settle down for all kinds of matters, just like that, a month passed, and the things that should be done had not been done, and Shen Ning felt extremely leisurely.
Originally, Shen Ning still wanted to find a time to talk to the third uncle about this matter, but Ying Nantu had been busy, so the matter was delayed. Now seeing Shen Cai's appearance of going to the study in a hurry, Shen Ning remembered that in fact, he didn't come to Lingnan Road to play.
Just thinking like this, Shen Cai came back. She was different from the relaxed and refreshing just now, Shen Cai's expression seemed to be a little worried, and her brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Seeing Shen Cai's appearance, Shen Ning couldn't help asking, "Third aunt, but what happened?" ”
Shen Caishi paused, and then said distressedly: "Alas, it's not for the sake of the Nanyue clan......
The Nanyue clan, the Nanban! Shen Ning's face was also solemn, and he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he had been related to the Nanyue clan.
