Chapter 195: The Xia Brothers and Sisters

"Mu Qing, you have always been sensible, the master's fear, you should know very well." After listening to Shen Muqing's request, Mr. Min couldn't help but groan, "You asked me to convince the master, but I can't even pass this hurdle myself...... Mu Qing, I also have the same idea as the master, you have to be cautious. ”

Shen Muqing also tried to convince Mr. Min. She reminded Mr. Min of what Xiao Sa had done for the Shen family when Shen Zhen was in prison, and told Mr. Min about Xiao Sa's gift of the dock to her: "...... He has affection and righteousness for our Shen family, and now in his most difficult time, we leave him alone...... I always felt uneasy in my heart. ”

"Mu Qing, we have done a lot for him." Mr. Min disagreed, "And some things are not as simple as you think!" ”

Shen Muqing was stunned: "What do I not know?" ”

Mr. Min only said: "Mu Qing, if you believe us, we will not harm you." ”

Shen Muqing was even more confused, and was about to ask, when Xiaoshuang pushed the door in. She smiled coquettishly and said, "Mr. Min, is our master still waiting for you to finish that half glass of wine?" Seeing Shen Muqing, he curtsied again: "Grandma is also here!" "I didn't invite her to the party, I wanted to come to a place where it was inconvenient for the woman.

Shen Muqing understood and said with a smile: "I'll come to ask Mr. for peace!" ”

Mr. Min smiled when he heard this, glanced at her, and then followed Xiaoshuang to the flower hall.

Shen Muqing stood in a daze. In the wing, I only felt as cold as falling into an ice cave.

The ninth day of the first month was Shen Muqing's birthday, and he sent the first day away. For the fifth guest, Aunt Chen discussed Shen Zhen: "In previous years, although my wife did not do anything when she was there, everyone also had a bowl of longevity noodles to eat. My aunt and grandmother have experienced so many things in the past few years, so it is better to take advantage of this birthday to make my aunt lively and lively, and it is good to transfer gas! What do you think? ”

Shen Zhen raised his eyelids and looked at it unhappily. glanced at Aunt Chen: "What do you want to do?" ”

Aunt Chen smiled: "I know that my aunt is a quiet person, I think. Cooking, making a few of my aunt's favorite dishes, and then asking the maids to kowtow a few times to my aunt, casting silver bills and scattering them, they are all happy...... If my aunt and grandmother want to go out for a walk, I will accompany me to the temple to offer incense, if my aunt and grandmother don't want to go out, we will hang up the lanterns of the fifteenth day in advance, light up the fireworks and firecrackers, and set up a table in the warm pavilion of the garden at night. What do you think? ”

There was a little smile on Shen Zhen's face.

"It's rare that you think thoughtfully, tell Mu Qing, if she has this interest, you can help handle it!"

Aunt Chen happily responded.

Shen Muqing only felt troublesome when he heard it: "...... I'm a small character generation, what do you do longevity. If you want to do it, wait until the summer to make it for the master. As for casting a few silver coins and rewarding them to the maids, it is a good thing. I'll cast this silver coin. ”

Aunt Chen laughed. It's bigger. She leaned over to Shen Muqing and whispered, "I also want to take advantage of my aunt's birthday to transfer the channel." Speaking of which, our family has not been peaceful in recent years! ”

"Auntie, what gossip have you heard?" Shen Muqing smiled: "Why did you suddenly think of the transfer?" ”

Aunt Chen smiled: "I didn't understand these things before, and I didn't believe in them. Later, I met the tenth grandmother of the Min family in Zhoushan, and then I knew the trick. ”

Shen Muqing was stunned when he heard this: "The tenth grandmother of the Min family? ”

Aunt Chen nodded and said with a smile: "She is really a capable person. Brother She is in Zhoushan, thanks to her care. I heard Jinxiu say the day before yesterday that she came to Beijing for something, but I was embarrassed to walk around during this New Year's Festival. I don't know if she's still in Beijing after fifteen? ”

Shen Muqing heard that she meant to go to Mr. Min's house as a guest, thinking that she had a falling out with her mother's family a few years ago because of the Jiangnan shop, and she didn't even have a place to go to relatives on weekdays, so she just walked around these rooms in the house every day, she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, and said with a smile: "If my aunt wants to go to see Grandma Shi, it's better to send a maid to invite an ...... first."

Aunt Chen was slightly overjoyed when she heard this, and got up and said to Shen Muqing: "Thank you, auntie." ”

Aunt Chen sent Tian's mother to bring gifts to Xia's next day, and Xia's also sent her personal mother to return the gift, knowing that it was Shen Muqing's birthday in two days, the mother smiled and said, "I will definitely come to congratulate my aunt and grandmother when the time comes." ”

Shen Muqing refused: "It's a scattered birth, it's just a gathering of people in the family." ”

Unexpectedly, early in the morning of the ninth day of the new year, Xia and Mrs. Min came together.

Shen Muqing hurriedly greeted Shi Jingshu out.

Since Li's death, every year on Shen Muqing's birthday, Mrs. Min will come to see her and send her some food or gadgets.

When everyone met, they had to salute each other.

Mrs. Min heard that Shi Jingshu was a girl from the Shi family in Nanjing, and asked her about Shi Jingshu's sixth aunt. It turned out that Mrs. Min and Shi Jingshu's sixth aunt were distant cousins. After climbing like this, Mrs. Min looked at Shi Jingshu and gave Shi Jingshu a piece of mutton fat jade from her body as a meeting gift, and when Xia saw it, she took off a pair of jade bracelets on her hands and gave them to Shi Jingshu.

Shen Muqing saw that the pair of jade bracelets were full of water and of extraordinary value, and couldn't help but secretly glance at Xia.

He looks less than thirty years old, his facial features are delicate, and although he is dressed in plain colors, the fabric of his clothes and the jewelry on his body are extraordinary.

Seeing Shen Muqing looking at her with a smile, Xia also gave Shen Muqing a friendly smile.

Shen Muqing took the opportunity to nod to the Xia clan and smiled and invited them to listen to Yuxuan.

The group sat down in different places, and Mrs. Min and Xia both came out with birthday gifts for Shen Muqing.

Mrs. Min sent a set of peach pit miniature carvings, and Xia's sent a pair of wax Buddha head bracelets. Although they are all precious, they are just as elegant and as noble.

Shen Muqing naturally thanked and thanked.

Mrs. Min smiled and said, "The friendship between our two families is extraordinary, and you are still polite to me." ”

That's just as well.

"It's my hypocrisy!" Shen Muqing smiled and apologized, "We're going to set off fireworks at night, Madame will stay for the night today!" ”

Mrs. Min smiled: "I can't sit at that time...... Tomorrow, you, Mr. Min, will entertain your colleagues at home! ”

Na Xia smiled and said, "If my aunt and grandmother miss my sister, it is better to go to the house to play for a few days." Speaking of which, a few orchids in my sister's house are blooming at the right time! ”

"Orchids bloom at this time?" Shi Jingshu was very surprised.

"This sister of mine is very good at raising orchids," Xia smiled as she covered her sleeves, "Even you, Mr. Min, especially admire my sister's good craftsmanship!" Someday you will also go and see it! ”

Mrs. Min also said bluntly: "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to serve these flowers and plants." ”

Shen Muqing said with a smile: "The pot of precious Song Mei in your house was given by Mrs. Min. ”

"Ahh Shi Jingshu's eyes widened, "Then I have to go and see!" ”

Mrs. Min nodded and said with a smile: "If you like it, it's ......."

While everyone was talking, Aunt Chen came in.

After seeing the ceremony, Aunt Chen smiled and invited everyone to go to the wing room for dinner: "...... Touched by the joy of our aunt and grandmother. ”

The group went to the wing room with a smile, and after dinner, everyone chatted a few words, and Mrs. Min got up and said goodbye: "...... After fifteen, I went to the house to enjoy the lanterns. ”

Mr. Min has been proud of his career in the past few years, and his family has a lot of entertainment, so Shen Muqing did not leave Mrs. Min and sent Mrs. Min and Xia out.

However, Aunt Chen was very attentive, sent people to the corner gate, and kept holding Xia's hand and chattering.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Mrs. Min posted a post to invite Shen Muqing and Shi Jingshu to go to the house to enjoy the lanterns.

Aunt Chen accompanied her to Min's house.

Except for Mr. Min's wife and concubine, that is, Mr. Min's younger sister-in-law Xia and Shen Muqing, Shi Jingshu and Aunt Chen, they are not outsiders, and everyone is not formal, they sit in the water pavilion to eat rice balls, tell jokes, and play riddles.

At the end of the unitary, Mr. Min, who had gone outside to watch the lights, came back, and Mrs. Min was busy serving, and a man suddenly broke in the water pavilion.

"Sister, I'm back!"

Everyone was shocked, and Shen Muqing and Shi Jingshu hurriedly turned sideways.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Xia said busily, "It's my brother." Then he reprimanded the man: "Why are you so reckless...... It's all women. ”

The man argued in a low voice: "I, I thought there were only my sister and Mrs. ......" and saluted in the direction of Shen Muqing and Shi Jingshu: "It's rude!" ”

Shen Muqing raised his eyelids and glanced at Xia's younger brother.

At the age of twenty-three or four, his facial features look very similar to Xia's, and he has the calmness and calmness of a rich child, and he is a good son with a good demeanor.

Shi Jingshu saw that Shen Muqing was silent, so she had to respond, "The son is polite."

The Xia family actually introduced: "This is my younger brother Xia Zhiqing, this is the Shi girl of the Shi family in Nanjing, and this is the aunt and grandmother of the Shen Mansion." ”

Shi Jingshu frowned when she heard this, and said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "It's not early, and we are also a little tired - go back and rest." ”

Because they came to Min's house to see the lights, it was late, and they would spend the night at Min's house, and then go back tomorrow after lunch.

Xia Zhiqing hurriedly bowed his head and sent the two away.

When Shen Muqing and Shi Jingshu disappeared, Xia Shi hurriedly asked his younger brother in a low voice, "How is it?" ”

Xia Zhiqing's face turned red.

Xia Shi saw that his face was full of smiles, and he blessed Aunt Chen: "If this good deed can be done, my younger brother will definitely worship my aunt as a mother-in-law." ”

Aunt Chen glanced at Xia Zhiqing, who was bowing her head, and said with a smile: "How the son treats me is secondary, the important thing is to treat our brother and our aunt and grandmother well." ”

"Auntie, just rest assured." Xia Zhiqing Aunt Chen made a gesture and said softly, "As long as the aunt and grandmother of the Shen family are willing to marry, I don't want to marry me, and give my aunt two thousand taels of silver in fat powder money." ”

Aunt Chen smiled brightly: "Childe is too polite." ”

Xia struck while the iron was hot: "Or, let's go to the mansion tomorrow to visit Master Shen?" ”

Aunt Chen's eyes rolled: "It's too rude for you to go so rashly......"

Without waiting for Aunt Chen's words to finish, Xia Zhiqing also said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely prepare a heavy gift........."

"Xia Gongzi misunderstood." Aunt Chen smiled, "You have to hire a matchmaker for this matter, right?" Speaking of which, Mr. Min and our master are old friends, and they are your sister's uncle......"

Xia Zhiqing has understood!
