When the garden was full of golden cinnamon, the group from Fanyang's old mansion finally arrived in Chang'an.

Rao is calm as Eighteen Niang, and was also shocked by the huge carriage team. The old lady was so old that she came uninvited.

She wore a purple summer shirt, embroidered with silver silk threads on her forehead, and tied a white crane dancing pattern on her forehead.

The girl is twenty-eight years old, as glamorous as a peach and plum, especially the slender neck, like an elegant white swan, which makes people want to kiss Fangze, she is really a beauty.

This is the cousin of the Shen family, her mother is the daughter of the old lady's sister-in-law, and she is married to the eldest son of the old lady's maiden brother. It is said that marrying a cousin is considered to have fallen into a blessed nest. But this aunt was a miserable woman, and after giving birth to a son and a daughter, her husband left and returned to the West.

At this moment, the second child became the son of the sect, and the second daughter-in-law naturally became the daughter of the sect. She is embarrassed as a widow and sister-in-law, and nine out of ten of the years live in her mother's house.

And this Cui Lanzhi is the number one celebrity in front of the old lady, and even Shen Sixteen is not as good as her.

As soon as the old lady got out of the carriage, she stood still and wiped away her tears.

Eighteen Niang quietly looked at Shen Ze, who was sluggish on the side, and quietly walked behind the old lady. Sure enough, her aunt and cousin Cui Lang also came.

And standing behind them is Sixteen Niang and her mother Wang, and another beautiful middle-aged man with a goat's beard is Uncle Shen Lin.

Eighteen Niang frowned, Shen Lin has been in charge of Qingshan Academy, why did he come to Chang'an this time? He has a false lord of the Marquis of Taiping, and there is no real difference.

"My son, my old woman, who has half of her body into the loess, can be regarded as seeing you." The old lady opened her mouth and woke up Eighteen Niang.

When Shen Ze heard this, he fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed three times to the old lady, "Mother, my son has kowtowed to you." Over the years, although I have asked Eighteen Niang to do her filial piety for her son in front of you, in the end, my son did not entertain his relatives in colorful clothes, and my son was ashamed. ”

The old lady's throat was blocked, she glanced at Shen Ze deeply, helped Shen Ze up, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Okay, you were born to me, how could I not know that you are a filial child." Gui Niang, why didn't you see her come out to greet her? ”

Eighteen Niang was taken aback, this old lady first wanted to pinch Shen Ze with filial piety, and now she asked about Wu Gui, what is the meaning of it?

She has been by the old lady's side for many years, from an obscure little orphan girl, to finally having her place in the Wanshou Garden, and in the entire Shen Mansion, that is, she knows how powerful this old lady is.

She never did anything she didn't have a plan for.

As soon as she asked this, Shen Yu rushed straight over, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Grandmother, my mother is gone." ”

The old lady's face changed, and she returned to normal in an instant, glanced at Eighteen Niang, pulled Shen Yu up, and comforted: "Good boy, let's go in and talk." ”

The group entered the house, sat down according to their identities, and saluted each other again.

Eighteen Niang instructed Nanzhi to go down and arrange that the Songhe Courtyard was given to the old lady to live in, and her aunt and Cui Lanzhi lived in the nearby Bibo Pavilion.

The eldest aunt and the sixteenth mother live in the Guanyan Pavilion. The dowry of the sixteenth was also carried in.

"Little eighteen, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I forgot about my old wife." As soon as the old lady sat down, she looked for Eighteen Niang and said with a smile.

Eighteen Niang hurriedly took a lotus seed soup, walked forward, and said with a smile: "Eighteen Niang just forgot herself, and she will not forget her grandmother, grandmother, you are here, Eighteen can be regarded as looking for the backbone of the Taoist." No, I prepared your favorite lotus seed soup for you, and the lotus hearts were picked out and the fine sugar was put in. ”

The old lady has a sweet tooth, and she can't eat any bitterness.

The old lady was really happy, and picked up the lotus seed soup, which melted in her mouth, and it really met her taste. She smiled and patted Eighteen Niang's hand, "Little Eighteen has a heart." ”

After speaking, she turned her head and asked Shen Ze, "I heard that Yu'er has already married a wife, which one is the bride?" But got a body? ”

When she asked, Kong Jingxian, who was stunned on the side, hurriedly stepped forward, made a big salute, and replied: "The concubine is the eldest daughter of the Kong family in Qufu", she blushed as she spoke, and said in a low voice, "It was only diagnosed for more than a month." ”

As soon as these words came out, including Shen Yu, they all looked at her in surprise, she hadn't said anything about this before.

The old lady's face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and she took off a jade bracelet she was wearing and put it on Kong Jingxian's hand, "Do a good job of spreading branches and leaves for the Shen family." ”

Eighteen Niang frowned, it shouldn't be, this old lady values the distinction between concubines and concubines the most, and those concubines and concubines in Fanyang's old mansion, although they can also be educated, but their status is not much better than that of the house slaves who have a face in front of their concubines.

That is, after the imperial examination, the status of the concubine was improved.

There is no reason for the old lady to elevate a daughter-in-law who is a grandson like this, and give away the jade bracelet she has worn for many years.

Eighteen Niang couldn't figure it out.

Kong Jingxian happily took the jade bracelet and retreated to Shen Yu's side shyly.

The old lady then asked Shen Ze: "These other children, have you ever talked about family affairs?" You too, although this marriage event is the words of your parents, how can you send a message to my old woman. I don't care about anything else, Eighteen Niang grew up with me, and you have to ask me about her family affairs first. ”

Shen Ze glanced at Eighteen Niang and nodded, "That's what Mother said." ”

Eighteen Niang lowered her head and pretended to be shy. But it doesn't matter in her heart, she won't live for a few years anyway, who is she not married? If she has someone she wants to marry, who in this house can stop her?

"Which one have you decided?"

"Yao'er has set Qin Xiang's only granddaughter, Qin Zhao, and the wedding date is at the end of October; The mother decided that Li Qianzhi of the Li family of Zhao County is the Tanhualang of this year, and the wedding date is set for March next year. I also hope that my sister-in-law can help with this matter. ”

The old lady frowned, "I am familiar with the name Li Qianzhi, but have you studied in our Qingshan Academy?" I've heard your father say about it, but I forgot what it was. But if you think it's good, it must be a good child. Your sister-in-law is here to do this, you add a dowry to Sixteen, and it won't be in vain for her hard work. ”

When Shen Qin heard Li Qianzhi mention, his face suddenly turned red; Hearing the old lady mention the dowry again, she pricked up her ears and looked at Shen Ze, her face couldn't help but be colorful.

Shen Sixteen's dowry, she saw it, the box was full, and the two strong male servants were enough to choke when they were lifted, and it could be seen how much gold, silver, beads and emeralds were contained in it, and the old lady even said that she wanted to add it.

The old lady paused, and suddenly asked again, "Shen Ting hasn't decided to marry yet, right?" ”
