The Shao family came out of the palace, and when they arrived at Cen Mansion, they knew that Xia Jin's parents had also arrived in Beijing today, and in order to show their sincerity, they went to the door as soon as possible, so they didn't know that the prefect of Linjiang also lived in Cen Mansion, let alone met her.

Therefore, hearing Xia Zhengqian's words, Old Lady Shao waved his hand to Shu Shi indifferently: "You go and get busy, the guests are important." Our own family members don't have to be polite, and we have the opportunity to speak whenever we want. ”

Shu Shi could understand in his heart what Mrs. Luo's purpose was here. An hour ago, Mrs. Luo met her in Cen Mansion, and she didn't say anything at that time, probably waiting for this time to come to the door, so that her attitude towards marriage was more solemn.

She saluted Old Lady Shao, then glanced at Xia Jin, and when she saw that she didn't say anything, she withdrew from the door.

After Shu left, Mrs. Shao saw that her son and grandchildren were still standing, and several of the younger children were almost unable to stand. She said: "You old men are here to chat, and our old ladies and children are going to the side hall." ”

Although the hall is quite spacious, there are two seats at the top and three chairs in each of the two rows below, making a total of eight seats. Even if the men are left here, they still can't sit down. Fortunately, Uncle Luo, the housekeeper of the Xia family, woke up, and when he saw that there were so many guests, he had already asked someone to prepare a chair, and at this time, he immediately brought it up and placed it in the hall.

And the women with their children all went to the side hall.

Adults and children were in turmoil, everyone sat down, and Aunt Luo brought someone tea and snacks up.

Drinking tea and eating snacks, everyone's topic is still on Xia Jin, the new member of the Shao family.

A sister-in-law looked at Xia Jin curiously and asked, "Are you really studying medicine with an old lady surnamed Shao?" What does she look like? ”

Xia Jin didn't like this topic the most. A lie is covered up with a thousand lies.

She had to use her imagination to describe the non-existent portrait of Granny Shao.

Fortunately, there are all present, except for Mrs. Shao (she is a fate, and she should also be called Mrs. Shao. The previous clerical error, now corrected), the rest, whether it is the elder Guo or Yang, are the wives of Shao Hengding and Shao Hengguo in the north, and they don't know anything about the people in the general's mansion in the original capital, let alone a few sisters-in-law.

They listened to Xia Jin's description and only looked at Mrs. Shao. Waiting for her answer.

Everyone is very curious about that Granny Shao. I also hope that person is really someone from General Shao's mansion before, in this case, the story will be even more bizarre.

To know. Xia Jin inadvertently helped the Shao family, and then when the Shao family came to thank her, they found out that her father was the son of the Shao family who had been lost for many years. This kind of experience is almost the same as the plot in the script.

Old Madam Shao thought about it. Shaking his head: "In our family, there are no such people." ”

"Could it be Mrs. Gu?" Yang asked.

"Impossible." Old Madam Shao said. "Your aunt and old lady, although she knows the art of Qihuang, she only knows a little fur. To say that the medical skills are very good, but there is none. Again. She had been doing well at her husband's house until she passed away a few years ago. ”

"It seems that there is a providence in the dark. God used this method to clear the grievances of our family. Flesh and bone reunion. Guo Shi said with emotion.

"yes." Everyone agreed.

Xia Jin sat there with a smile. Listen to them and don't interject.

She could see that Mrs. Shao was the same person as Mrs. Xuanpinghou, who was sensible and wise, and had a straightforward personality. Two aunts and two or three sisters-in-law also have the same personality. Although the rest do not understand, they all seem to be unscheming.

Moreover, when Mrs. Shao said that she would give her half of the family property as a dowry, she observed these people with her spare eyes, so many people, and none of them showed displeasure on their faces. I don't know if they don't know how much property the Shao family has been given back and rewarded, or if they really don't care.

But overall, she was happy with these people.

She is really fed up with relatives like Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhengshen. If she met such a person again, she would definitely encourage Xia Zhengqian and Shu to keep their distance from the Shao family.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Old Madam Shao was afraid of snubbing her, so she asked her again: "I heard that your brother is ready to get engaged to the girl of the Cen family?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Jin nodded, "The old lady of Xuanping has already found someone to meet." Now because the Hou Ye and the Prince are going to go on the expedition, my father and mother originally planned to go to Cen Mansion this afternoon to be hired. The gift list will be sent over first, and the dowry will be re-sent after the dowry is completed. ”

"That's exactly how it should be." Mrs. Shao said, "But now that we have us, we will arrange the dowry." I'll discuss this with your father and your mother then. ”

In the past, there were only four members of the Xia family, and Xia Jin could be half of the family. Now in the third generation of the Shao family, she is the youngest, and according to common sense, she has no power to beak in the affairs of the Shao family.

So she didn't answer.

She doesn't plan to have a say in this family.

"Your brother is already engaged, what about you?" Mrs. Shao asked again, "Does your mother have anyone who you like?" ”

This is not something that the girl's family can take. Xia Jin was about to lower his head and act shyly, when he saw Shu Shi coming in from outside, and his face didn't seem to look good.

Shu's temperament is good, Xia Jin has never seen her so angry. She hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to support her mother, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

"No, it's fine." Shu Shi took a deep breath and forced himself to smile, "Mother, are you going to have dinner here?" I have called my servants to buy and prepare. ”

"No, let's go back to Cen Mansion to eat." Old Madam Shao waved her hand absently, stared at Shu Shi and asked, "What's wrong?" You don't have a good face. Is that the prefect's wife angry with you? You have to tell me something. Our Shao family is not easy to be bullied. ”

Shu Shi is a very face-saving person. In the past, no matter how hard she was beaten by Mrs. Xia, she would find a place where no one was to clean herself up before going back to the three-room courtyard, not wanting to be seen on the road and losing her dignity.

Now that I have walked all the way, I still haven't been able to restrain my emotions, and I am obviously angry.

As soon as Mrs. Shao said this, she couldn't help it, and said to Mrs. Shao with tears, and turned to Xia Jin: "Sister Jin, my mother is sorry for you." Mrs. Naro is so unreasonable. I said that your brother is not engaged yet, and your relatives will hold off in advance, and wait for your brother to get hired. As a result, she said a lot of truths and forced me to accept her marriage. I didn't agree, she put the jade pendant on the table and left. threatened, if we don't agree, she will tell Luo Gongzi about retiring from your relatives and going to the battlefield for you, and when the Zheng family knows, she will not let your brother have a good future. ”

Xia Jin's eyes were cold: "Where is the jade pendant?" ”

Shu Shi took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xia Jin.

Xia Jin took the jade pendant and was about to comfort Shu's two words, when he heard Old Madam Shao ask, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Now that they have recognized their relatives, Xia Qi and Xia Jin's relatives must be known to their grandfathers and grandmothers, and Shu Shi did not intend to hide this matter when he entered the door.

At this time, she told the entanglement of the Luo family, the Xia family, and the Zheng family.

Of course, she helped Xia Jin cover up a lot in her words. Luo Qian likes Xia Jin and wants to marry her because the old lady of the Xia family makes Xia Jin happy, and Xia Jin has to disguise herself as a man to treat Luo Qian. Later, at the Cen Mansion banquet, Luo Qian recognized Xia Jin and wanted to marry her. Xia Jin often walked outside dressed as a man, and opened a dim sum shop with Luo Qian, and the two did not say a word about their long-term relationship.

Old Madam Shao is a vicious and hateful character. I heard that Mrs. Luo did not agree with Luo Qian marrying Xia Jin, saying that Xia Jin was only worthy of being a concubine, and took Luo Qian to the capital to get engaged to the Zheng family. She looked even angrier than Shu's, and scolded straight in her mouth: "The dog's eyes look down on people, it's really a dog's eyes that look down on people!" ”

After scolding people, she asked again: "Why do you want to engage with us now?" ”

Shu also said that Luo Qian left a book to go to the border for Xia Jin.

"This Luo Gongzi is a visionary lover." Old Madam Shao praised.

Hearing this, Xia Jin couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It seems that her own grandmother is a very protective person. Mrs. Luo looked down on her, so Mrs. Shao scolded her to the point of blood; Luo Qian went to the battlefield for her, and she praised others for having vision and being a lover.

After Mrs. Shao finished praising that, she turned her head and looked at Xia Jin: "What does Sister Jin think?" If you are willing to marry the son of Naluo, your grandmother will help you clean up your future mother-in-law, so that she can be a man with her tail between her legs from now on. If you don't want to, no one in the world can force you. What kind of bullshit prefect lady, your grandmother really didn't see it, it made me unhappy, I have to slap her with a big mouth. I gave it to me when I arrived, and I threw it in her face. ”

Xia Jin finally put his heart back in his stomach.

Although Xia Zhengqian found her parents, she was happy for her father, but she was also worried. She was afraid that her newly recognized grandfather and grandmother would interfere in her family affairs. Although she believed that Xia Zhengqian and Shu would fight against the second elder for her, but in this way, there would be a gap between the two sides, and Xia Zhengqian would definitely be very sad.

I didn't expect that Old Madam Shao was really as clear and transparent as she thought.

She was thinking about how to phrase her thoughts, Guo Shi mistakenly thought she was shy, and hurriedly answered: "Mother, Sister Jin is thin-skinned, how can you be embarrassed to say it in front of so many people?" But I don't need to ask, isn't the attitude of my brother and sister very clear? If they are willing to marry this family, they will also agree to the family affair today, why is it so stiff? I think my siblings made the right decision. Women, they always have to live in the back house, and the one who gets along with them the longest is not the father-in-law, but the mother-in-law. With a mother-in-law like Mrs. Luo, Sister Jin may have to suffer a lot when she marries. ”

"yes, I'm an old fool." Old Madam Shao patted the handrail and said to Shu, "Third daughter-in-law, is your dowry list ready?" If you're ready, let's take Sister Jin over now. I'll take you to meet with Mrs. Cen and Mrs. Na Luo, and introduce your new identity to them. When the time comes, hmph, I have something to say! (To be continued)
