"What is filial piety or unfilial piety, our family has become like this, do you still care about this?" Fifth Master Shen said nonchalantly.

Ding wanted to talk to Master Shen Wu, and nodded again and again.

Second Master Shen said angrily: "Fifth brother, don't think that I don't know what your idea is, as long as my mother lives in your house, our other brothers will have to give you gifts and tribute during the New Year's holidays." When you used to do business, it wasn't very good, but now the abacus is playing loudly. ”

Fifth Master Shen retorted without hesitation: "No matter how poor I am, I don't lack your little courtesy, right?" Come and see what the old lady sent, can you afford the food and clothing of our five rooms, or can you use it as the principal for my business? ”

This seemed to be right, Second Master Shen had nothing to refute, turned his head, and was silent.

Ding was very happy to see that Shen Wu had the upper hand, and asked people to pack their luggage and go back to Wuchang Mansion for the New Year.

Second Master Shen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mother, do you want to go back to Wuchang Mansion?" Didn't we say that we would celebrate the New Year in the capital? ”

These words ruined Ding's good mood, she suddenly stretched her face, and said, "Your eldest brother is destined to not be able to return home, what are we going to do in the capital?" Without your eldest brother here, do you still expect Shen Yiyi to take care of us? ”

Second Master Shen sighed and was silent.

Fifth Master Shen was unwilling, and asked Second Master Shen: "Second brother, we really can't take the eldest brother home?" ”

Second Master Shen sighed, shook his head and said, "According to the attitude just now, it's not like you didn't see it." Now that General Xiao Cai is serving the country on the frontier, no matter what outrageous things she does, the emperor will also favor her. ”

Master Shen was not convinced, and said, "It's just a family matter, will the emperor take care of it?" ”

Second Master Shen glanced at him and said, "Fifth brother, are you stupid?" Just like you, how can you get back into business and make a comeback? The emperor will not take care of the housework of the courtiers, but the attitude of the emperor will determine the attitude of the officials. ”

Fifth Master Shen finally felt hopeless, and said dejectedly: "Then pack your luggage, let's all go back to Wuchang Mansion." ”

Yes, even if you want to split up, you have to go back to Wuchang Mansion first and then split up. Second Master Shen had no objections, and everyone packed their bags together.

When the news reached the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Shen Yiyi was frying meatballs, and Master Shen watched intently by the stove. Xiao Pepper said with emotion: "I thought that the Shen family would be more united after this difficulty and tide over the difficulties together, but I didn't expect that the first thing they did after they were released from prison was to split up. ”

Shen Yiyi took out the freshly fried meatballs from the pot, put them in the big colander, and slapped away Master Shen's hand by the way: "Dad, wait for it to cool down and eat it later." ”

Seeing that Shen Yiyi didn't care, Xiao Pepper said, "It's okay if they go back to Wuchang Mansion, at least they won't come again to ask the eldest master to go home." ”

"The General's Mansion of Zhenguo is the home of the great master." Shen Yiyi said, took a clean plate, scooped out a few balls and put them in, and asked the little maid to fan them with a fan, so that the balls could cool quickly.

Although Shen Yiyi only spoke a short sentence, Little Pepper always felt that their lives would be different from before.

Soon it was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Zhenguo General's Mansion held a banquet inside and out, set up more than ten tables, and everyone ate the New Year dinner together.

This year's New Year's dinner was cooked by Shen Yiyi himself and made with all the chefs, which can be described as full of color, flavor and flavor, and each dish name contains deep meaning, which is a good omen. The crowd was lively and had a great time eating.

In the idle eyebrows, Shen Yiyi and Master Shen sat around the round table, and Little Pepper stood on the side. Shen Yiyi pointed to the stool beside him, called Xiao Pepper and said, "There is no size for the New Year, you can also sit down." ”

Little Pepper didn't twist it, sat down at the table, raised a toast, and said, "Madam, I wish you all the best in the coming year, and all your wishes will come true." ”

Shen Yiyi smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Little Pepper looked at the empty table and couldn't help but sigh: "If only the general were here." ”

Shen Yiyi looked at the empty stool in a daze and lowered her eyes.

Xiao Pepper consciously lost her words and hurriedly said: "The general is in the south, and he is probably also celebrating the New Year, but I don't know if the customs of the New Year in the south are the same as us, whether they also have to eat a reunion dinner." ”

During the Chinese New Year, Shen Yiyi didn't want to make Little Pepper worried, raised her head and smiled, and said, "Silly girl, the general is fighting, how can I have time and leisure for the New Year." ”

Little Pepper stuck out her tongue: "Then when the general comes back from the battle, let's make up for the New Year for him." ”

I've only heard of making up for birthdays, how can I make up for the New Year? Shen Yiyi shook her head with a smile and picked up her wine glass: "I wish you more money next year and less stupidity." ”

"Who is stupid!" Pepper glared unconvinced and raised her glass.

At one moment, the fireworks rose into the sky in mid-air, dazzling and dazzling, and Lord Shen ran out excitedly, looking up at his neck. Shen Yi ordered Sha Jiang to bring out the prepared fireworks and coax Master Shen to play.

Xiao Pepper accompanied Shen Yiyi to stand on the verandah to watch the fireworks, put a cloak on her, and asked: "Madam, the capital is different from Wuchang Mansion, although it is the New Year, but the street is lively, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

Shen Yiyi shook her head and said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor and queen, so go to bed early." ”

Go to bed early? Even if you don't go shopping, you still have to keep vigil. Little Pepper was about to speak, but suddenly remembered that Cai Li was not there, what was there to keep vigil, so he didn't make a sound.

Fireworks were lit in the courtyard, and Master Shen excitedly shuttled through the colorful fireworks, which made several guards nervous. The servants at home were reluctant to even eat the New Year's dinner, so they all gathered in the courtyard to watch the fireworks and set off the fireworks.

Shen Yiyi looked at it for a while, called Sha Jiang over and said a few words, then turned around and prepared to go back to the room to rest.

At this moment, a guard suddenly came to report: "Madam, Huang Gonggong is here!" ”

Huang Gonggong? Huang Futian? Maybe it's a reward from the emperor. Now that Cai Li is serving in southern Xinjiang, it is customary for the emperor to give vegetables to favored courtiers on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Shen Yiyi didn't think much about it, so she said, "Please come in quickly." ”

The guards quickly invited Huang Futian in, but Huang Futian did not carry the reward, and his expression was in a hurry, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Shen Yiyi felt bad in her heart, and suddenly remembered Cai Fuguang who died in the southern Xinjiang, and her heart was beating so hard that she forgot to say hello to Huang Futian.

Huang Futian obviously had something in his heart, so he didn't bother with her about these details, and just stood up and said, "Mrs. Shen, the emperor announced that you will enter the palace immediately, and you have important matters to discuss." ”

Events? What can be important for the New Year? Shen Yiyi's face turned white when she brushed the ground.
