Chapter Seventy-Three: Claiming to be an Old Man of the Moon

Red Sleeves walked out and took a long breath, and said to Linghe: "Remember to send soup to your second young 'milk' and 'milk', and then talk to her girl, so that she can go back to the room earlier." ”

Linghe agreed, and then smiled: "It's a coincidence that we came out, girl; Look, isn't that the fifth master? ”

Red Sleeves turned his head to look over, and sure enough, it was the fifth master who came over.

The fifth master also saw the red sleeves, and hurriedly took two steps and said, "Why are you standing here and not going in?" He was mainly worried that Sheeran was alone in there, and there was nothing to take care of, and he would suffer any grievances.

Red Sleeves smiled lightly: "Mrs. Sheeran is very good, uncle can rest assured; I'm going to the kitchen to have a look, and my uncle was ordered to come over to say goodbye, right? After speaking, he looked at the fifth master and smiled very deeply.

The fifth master glared at the red sleeves: "Learn some naughty things for Miaoge; I'll go and say hello to my ancestors, and you can go and get busy. Ignoring the jokes in Redsleeves' words, he went straight into the pavilion.

Redsleeves wanted to go back and have a look, but he had already found an excuse to come out, and it was not good not to go to the kitchen, so he turned around and took the girls to the kitchen.

Master Shen Wu let people spread the word outside the pavilion that Baoxiang and Yuegui had to get up to avoid it, but asked his mother to stop and say: Family, you don't have to be shy.

Baoxiang glanced at Shen Laozu and the others on the seat, and hated his mother's confusion in his heart, but he couldn't brush his mother's face in person, so he still said softly to avoid it.

And Yuegui has been forced by her mother to fall down in the chair and not let her get better; And the Seventh Lady had already smiled and said: "It's okay, it's your brother, where do your brothers and sisters pay so much attention to vulgar etiquette?" ”

After the second lady glanced at Shen Laozu, she sent someone to invite the fifth master in.

Baoxiang and Yuegui both turned sideways with red faces, lowered their heads, and couldn't help but complain a little about their mother's rudeness, and they were a little inferior to themselves by the other party.

After the fifth master came in, he glanced at it, and saw Hieran; At the same time, he also saw Baoxiang and Yuegui, but he didn't care about Baoxiang and the others, and when he saw that Xilan didn't have any abnormal looks, he retracted his gaze and asked his grandmother and others to greet him.

Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Jiang both looked at the fifth master Shen very carefully, and when they saw that the fifth master was a talent, he did not look like a half-grown old man on his body, but he looked extremely mature and stable, and his heart was even more happy.

The two of them each looked at the second lady and the seventh lady, and they both felt a little grateful in their hearts; They are not stupid, of course they know that the second lady and others will not be kind in vain - there are always gains and losses; And with such a good family affair, and the fifth master is a very good person, they will no longer care about the thoughts of the second lady and others.

After the fifth master asked for peace, he didn't stay long, and after taking another look at Xilan, he left.

Shen Wu came and went, making everyone in the pavilion invisibly more affectionate; Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Qian both hated Shen Laozu and Mrs. Shen very much, hoping to get the Shen Mansion to propose marriage another day.

Although Shen Laozu and Mrs. Shen knew what the two ladies meant, they treated the two families equally, and they couldn't see who they belonged to; And neither Mrs. Qian nor Mrs. Jiang gave Mrs. Xilan a second glance: the Shen family's housewife obviously didn't like her.

When Bao Xiang and Yue Gui saw their mother like this, they were a little ashamed in their hearts; When I saw Sheeran looking over there from time to time, with a smile on his lips, he was a little annoyed in his heart; However, with Mrs. Shen in front of them, they didn't say much.

Sheeran didn't mean to make fun of anyone, just to be polite; She can't always be serious, as if she's angry with someone.

Shen Lao Zu and Mrs. Shen have their own calculations, they are people who know the Fifth Master well, and after looking at Xilan's behavior twice before and after Shen Fifth Master, they know that the people he likes will not be Baoxiang and Yuegui.

They didn't want to 'force' Shen Wu to run away again, so they didn't express their preference for any girl; If Master Shen Wu doesn't nod, family affairs can't be discussed.

A meal is considered to be a joy and a joy is used up. After the meal, Baoxiang's mother and daughter went to the second lady to rest, while the laurel mother and daughter left with the seventh lady.

When Red Sleeves was about to speak, Mrs. Xilan smiled and saluted Shen Laozu and the others: "I originally promised the eldest sister to come to see her, but I haven't seen the eldest sister until now; I have said goodbye to the old lady and Mrs. Tai here, and after going to see the eldest sister for a while, I will no longer come to disturb the lady and Mrs. Tai. ”

Shen Laozu and Mrs. Shen were polite, and then told Red Sleeves to take good care of Mrs. Xilan, and invited Mrs. Xilan to come and walk around often.

Mrs. Sheeran agreed, and she would come and go as often as she could.

Looking at the back of Red Sleeves and Mrs. Xilan, Mrs. Shen sighed: "It looks like a good woman, but with such a reputation on her back, she is still a remarried." ”

Shen Laozu stood up, held the hands of Yanqin and Xiao'er, and said, "It's not good, I can't see anything once or twice; The most important thing is the fifth child of our family, if he doesn't change his mind, no matter how much we say, it's useless. ”

Mrs. Tai sighed: "Lao Wu has always been a person with ideas, let him change his mind......"

The two old men looked at each other and sighed, and went back to rest; They are all old people, and they are tired of socializing for so long.

Red Sleeves invited Mrs. Sheeran to sit down, and then someone brought the eldest sister and others to the hall, and played and laughed with Mrs. Sheeran; She didn't mention the feast again, but told Mrs. Sheeran some interesting stories about her eldest sister.

She's waiting for someone, believing it should come soon.

Sure enough, Red Sleeves and Mrs. Sheeran laughed for a while, and then heard the little girl outside report: "The fifth master is here." ”

Red Sleeves asked Mrs. Sheeran to sit, and she welcomed the fifth master in.

Fifth Master Shen's face didn't blush this time, and after he and Xilan greeted each other and sat down, he just said some gossip: he didn't have anything to do, but he was worried about whether Xilan had been wronged, so he came over to take a look.

But there are some things that can't be asked directly, so you can only gossip.

Red Sleeves didn't say much on the side, just silently ate tea.

Sheeran did not linger long, and after sitting for a while, he got up to leave; Master Shen Wu finally said: "Madame, don't be surprised, it was the grandmother and the mother who misunderstood something that made Madame ......."

Xilan just smiled and shook his head, saying that he would come to visit again in the future, hoping that the fifth master would not get bored; She wasn't going to stop there.

Fifth Master Shen opened his mouth and saw that Red Sleeves didn't say anything.

Red Sleeves sent Xilan out: "It's good to come and walk around often, otherwise the eldest sister will make me uncomfortable; This kid actually hit it off with his wife at first sight. ”

Fifth Master Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and Xilan just smiled: Xilan came to the Shen Mansion, at least on the surface, not because of Fifth Master Shen.

Xilan thanked Red Sleeves when she left, and asked Red Sleeves to thank Mrs. Shen on her behalf.

Seeing off Xilan, Red Sleeves turned around: "Fifth uncle, how do you want to thank me?" ”

Shen Wu found an excuse to leave the house; Red Sleeves asked Yunxiang with a smile: "Do you think the fifth master is going to look for Mrs. Xilan?" ”

Yunxiang also laughed: "The fifth master went to Mrs. Xilan and said, I implore Mrs. to go back to the house, and don't come to our house again." ”

When Red Sleeves returned to their courtyard with a smile, the second lady and Mrs. Qian were discussing: they had all heard that the fifth master had gone to the red sleeves courtyard.

Fifth Master Shen did this, without intentionally explaining to everyone, he still belonged to Mrs. Xilan.

Mrs. Qian looked unhappy, she thought that with her daughter's appearance, this family matter could be achieved immediately, but she didn't want to end up in the eyes of the fifth master of the Shen family; And the elders of the Shen family are also unclear.

The second lady smiled: "Aunt doesn't have to be like this, let's stay for the time being." ”

Mrs. Qian was stunned when she heard this: "Stay? It's not good, although we live in Zhuangzi outside the city, but it is not a hassle to come. ”

The second lady just asked Mrs. Qian to stay, and got up to find the seventh lady by herself.

The Seventh Lady and Mrs. Jiang were discussing the matter of the Fifth Master Shen, and when they heard that the Second Lady was coming, Mrs. Jiang avoided the room.

The second lady didn't see Mrs. Jiang and smiled: "Where's the aunt?" ”

"I'm very tired, go and sleep for a while; Is there something wrong with my second sister-in-law? The Seventh Lady took the topic away, and didn't want to talk more about the matter of Aunt and Yuegui with the Second Lady.

The second lady sat down: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask my aunt how many days she wants to stay?" My aunt and my mother rarely saw each other, and they had to stay for a few days; If my aunt is going to stay for a few days, let's go and talk to the ancestor and Mrs. Tai together. ”

Hearing this, the Seventh Lady raised her eyebrows and immediately smiled: "It's going to stay for a few days; Although they are all in Beijing, it is rare to see each other on weekdays, and since my aunt is here, I want to keep her for a few days - we girls can also talk well. ”

In this way, the second lady and the seventh lady went to Shen Laozu to talk about it; Of course, Shen Laozu couldn't drive his relatives out, nodded and said that it would be good to stay for a few more days, so that the second lady and the seventh lady should greet their relatives well, and don't let people say that the Shen Mansion doesn't like to entertain guests.

Bao Xiang and Yue Gui followed their mother and lived in the courtyard of the second and seventh ladies respectively; Only Mrs. Chu secretly complained about the second lady, blaming her for leaving Baoxiang's mother and daughter.

After hearing about this, Red Sleeves smiled and said, "Fifth Uncle won't be a peach blossom this year, right?" How could there be such a peach blossom catastrophe? ”

Shen Miaoge just shook his head: "I don't know what those two ladies think, if the family doesn't work, how will those two girls marry in the future?" ”

Red Sleeves smiled: "That's because the two ladies are sworn to win." She paused: "But this matter is not difficult to understand, depending on the meaning of the ancestor and Mrs. Tai, in the end, I still have to listen to the fifth uncle." ”

"However, it is not so easy for Mrs. Sheeran to enter the door." After speaking, Red Sleeves shook his head and no longer mentioned the matter, but picked up the children's affairs and said to Shen Miaoge.

Mrs. Xilan's affairs are up to Fifth Master Shen to worry about.

When the second lady arrived tomorrow, she set up a few tables and invited Mrs. Chu and her niece, as well as Mrs. Qian, the third lady and Shen Siye to have a drink together.

After seeing that Shen Siye arrived, Mrs. Chu sent Lian Xing and Lian Yue back to the room, and did not let them come out to the table; Fourth Master Shen didn't see Pixing and Pianyue at all.

If it weren't for the presence of the third lady and Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Chu might have attacked the second lady at that time; Even so, she didn't sit for a long time, and halfway through eating, she said that she was not in good shape and left the table.
