Chapter 22: Relatives (I)

Mrs. Shen didn't expect her son to come to greet her in person, with a smile on her face, she only looked him up and down, and her tone was quite emotional: "Boss, look at you, you have lost a lot of weight." ”

Shen Zhiyun saluted and said: "Mother has worked hard all the way, and her son is not filial, which makes people tired." ”

Old Mrs. Shen waved her hand: "It's not in the way, you are a person with an official position, so naturally you can't just leave." ”

Mama Li then led everyone to salute Shen Zhiyun.

Shen Zhiyun waved his hand and said, "Get up." ”

Shen Zhiyun is seven in his Chinese New Year's Eve, more than seven feet tall, wearing dark blue clothes, and he looks like a good material. His face was white, his facial features were straight, he had a short beard, his eyes were bright, he raised a slightly blessed face, and looked at everyone with a smile, but his face was peaceful.

The old lady then shook his hand and spoke: "You have a lot of things, just wait for me in the house, why bother to run such a trip by yourself." Are you still used to living here in Laizhou? Is the family okay? Are the kids all right? ”

Shen Zhiyun nodded with a smile, reassuring her: "Everything is fine at home, mother doesn't have to worry about ......" As he spoke, his gaze fell on the delicate girl who was a few steps away.

The girl was wearing a blue dress, her face was delicate, but her body was thin, she looked soft and weak, and kept her head down and did not speak. Presumably, this person is his eldest daughter Shen Yuechen.

I haven't seen her for a few years, Shen Zhiyun still has no impression of this daughter, and now I see her delicate, and even a little similar to myself between her eyebrows and eyes, I can't help but feel moved.

The old lady noticed his gaze, turned around and pulled Shen Yuechen to her, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, what are you still doing?" Hurry up and say hello to your father. ”

Shen Yuechen's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Shen Zhiyun respectfully. "The boy greets his father."

Shen Zhiyun heard this "father", the expression on his face was slightly stunned, and he said with a little more emotion in his tone: "Time flies, you have grown into a big girl!" ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, her thick eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the cold light under her eyes, and her lips immediately curved, as if she was smiling.

Shen Zhiyun was worried that his mother would be tired of driving all the way and his body would not be able to bear it, so he immediately ordered the entourage convoy to escort them back to their homes to rest.

Shen Zhiyun and the old lady rode in the same carriage, chattering about some trivial matters in the family, while Shen Yuechen was in the same car with Mama Li, although her face was as usual, she kept beating the drum in her heart, and she was uneasy.

From the wharf to Shen Zhiyun's mansion. It only takes half an hour by car. Shen Zhiyun's mansion is located in the west of Laizhou City, and it is a four-entry mansion facing south and sitting north. Because it is the place where the successive governors of Laizhou lived, it looks a little old. After Shen Zhiyun took office, the first thing he did was to renovate this old mansion to make it look a little more magnificent as an official house.

Sure enough, Mrs. Shen stepped into the renovated mansion and asked, "It's not a waste of money to renovate this mansion." ”

Shen Zhiyun knew that she was worried about herself, and hurriedly said, "Actually, it didn't cost much silver taels." The son is now in the fourth official residence, and he has personal contacts, and he still has the faΓ§ade that he should have. ”

When the old lady heard this, she pondered for a moment and continued: "I don't understand the things in officialdom, you can just make your own decisions." ”

Shen Zhiyun's annual income is less than 100 taels, and the cost of renovating the house is 1,000 taels. Such a large amount of money, there is no doubt that it must have come from Yao's generous mother's hand.

Shen Zhiyun helped the old lady to enter the gate, and saw a group of female dependents standing side by side under the porch, all dressed in red and green, full of pearls and greenery, fragrant clothes and sideburns, and fragrant powder.

The young woman at the head was wearing a white silk stand-up collar jacket, a concubine-colored lotus pattern clean face makeup and flower gown, a slender figure with noodles, and a white and delicate face. She looked to be in her early thirties, of medium appearance, not very good-looking, but graceful.

When Yao saw the old lady, he immediately greeted him with tears in his eyes, curtsied and said, "Daughter-in-law greets the old lady." ”

The old lady frowned slightly when she saw her pear blossom with rain, and said, "Good and decent, why are you crying?" I'm not afraid to let the kids see the jokes. ”

When Yao's saluted, the girls behind her also saluted, and it was not lively for a while.

The old lady smiled slightly, and made them all get up one by one, with a smile on their faces.

When Mrs. Shen saw her son and daughter-in-law, she naturally became more affectionate, put Shen Yuechen aside for a while, and only focused on talking to them.

Shen Yuechen took the opportunity to quickly glance at the people in front of him, his gaze quickly swept over their faces, and then he lowered his eyes very quickly, not wanting to be discovered by anyone.

Yao wiped his face with a handkerchief, smiled kindly, and turned his gaze to Shen Yuechen behind them.

Shen Yuechen's mind moved slightly, and he stepped forward to salute, his feet were like the weight of a thousand catties, "Yuechen greets my mother." This shout of "mother" was really against his will, but Shen Yuechen knew that he had no choice at this time.

Yao Shi looked at Shen Yuechen carefully, and saw her palm-sized face, her eyes were as black as black jade, and her appearance was very delicate, and she was really quite similar to her husband Shen Zhiyun.

Yao Shi helped her, only held her slightly cool hand in the palm of his hand, and said softly: "It's good to come, it's good to come." My lord and I have been waiting for you to come over. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around the eldest lady's arm, held Shen Yuechen's little hand at the same time, and said with a smile: "Let's go into the house and talk." With that, he let the eldest lady and Shen Yuechen into the main courtyard.

Walking to the door of the main room, there were a few little maids with buns and green clothes standing outside the door, saluting and greeting, and at the same time raising the curtain to invite the masters in.

As soon as they entered the house, everyone was about to start to formally greet them, "grandmother", "father", "mother", "younger brother", "second sister", "third sister", "fourth sister" and "fifth sister" recognized it in one go, which only made Shen Yuechen feel a headache.

They were her relatives and strangers.

Shen Yuechan, the second girl of the Shen family, sat snuggled up to her mother Yao, her face was like a full moon, her face was beautiful, she looked up at Shen Yuechen, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, but she still got up with a smile and called: "Eldest sister." ”

She has a sweet voice, and she will come to trouble, so she directly shook Shen Yuechen's hand and praised: "My sister is so beautiful." ”

is different from Shen Yuechen's situation, Shen Yuechan is a child who has been raised by her parents like stars since she was a child, and she has everything that Shen Yuechen does not have, so just in terms of appearance and bearing, she may be more like the eldest daughter of the Shen family than Shen Yuechen.

Shen Yuechan looked at Shen Yuechen coldly, only to feel that she was nothing more than that, how could she have the bearing of an official daughter on her body?

I heard that she grew up in the temple, and when she thinks about it, she has never seen the world.
