Chapter Eighty-Seven: Virtuous Sleeves

Mrs. Shen has always liked the daughter-in-law "woman" of Red Sleeves, because after she was sick and pregnant, Red Sleeves came to her from time to time to serve, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was better: now she treats Red Sleeves as Zheng Jiang treats Red Sleeves.

Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge stepped forward to greet everyone, and then unfolded the words for Shen Laozu; After Shen Wu saw this word, he stared at it and recognized it, his eyes lit up, and he almost got up and snatched it away.

Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves stepped forward to show Shen Laozu the words, explaining to her that this big character was written by the four characters of Fu Lu Shouquan; At the moment, Shen Laozu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: she was happier to receive this word than to receive a mountain of gold.

She looked at Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves: "You two children, you really have a heart." "If it weren't for the painstaking effort to write such words, it would be impossible to write them; So although she didn't praise the two of them much, her satisfaction could be seen in the whole room.

At this time, the fifth master Shen stepped forward and bowed: "Old ancestor, grandson has something to ask for old ancestor." Shen Laozu was in a good mood, and he agreed to him without thinking about it.

"Grandson wants to ask the ancestor to reward these big characters written by Qi'er to grandson."

Everyone in the room looked at Master Shen Wu, and everyone stared: they didn't even read their words, and Lao Wu wanted to take them away? No way! And the old marquis scolded with a smile: "Your appetite is big!" I haven't seen so many words, Qi'er must have written it for you, just keep your own, don't be greedy. ”

Shen Miaoge hurriedly pulled out the big characters of Fortune and Treasure to show Shen Wuye, and Shen Wuye's eyes were shining with golden light; It's just that the red sleeves can see it very clearly, and the eyes of Shen Wu are indeed shining with golden light!

Fifth Master Shen looked at Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves, and rubbed his hands in pain: "Why didn't you take out these words earlier?" Alas, a lot of money, a million profits. He kept muttering, as if he had just been robbed of at least 100,000 taels of silver.

Red Sleeves wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this: she didn't expect that the fifth uncle, who took care of the business for the Shen family, would have the first thought of using these words to make money; Even Shen Miaoge didn't expect it.

"The sleeve is also what I just thought about in the past two days, Fifth Uncle;" Shen Miaoge looked at Shen Wu with a smile: "In order to fulfill her filial piety to the elders in her family, she spent a lot of effort on these words, and it took her nearly a month to come up with them. ”

He attributed all the credit to the red sleeves: he is the eldest grandson of the Shen family, and he is already loved by thousands of people; So now he wants the elders in the family to love Red Sleeves more, so he didn't say what Red Sleeves told him.

Hearing this, Red Sleeves could only take a step forward: "It's not the power of the sleeves alone, this is what I came up with with the fifth master; It's just a gadget, as long as the elders can smile, it means that the two of us have done a little bit of filial piety. ”

Her humility only made the masters of the Shen family feel that the red sleeves were really virtuous: she didn't take credit, and she also knew how to put gold on her husband's face.

Fifth Master Shen nodded: "It's because I'm too anxious, and it's not so easy to come up with such words." After finishing speaking, he stared at the big word of Zhaocai Jinbao and kept reading, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and he was really overjoyed: "Good color, good omen!" Okay, if our Shen family has a daughter-in-law like this, it will definitely be more prosperous. ”

Red Sleeves took advantage of the fact that Fifth Master Shen was looking at his words, so he unfolded the words in his hand one by one to Mrs. Shen, Old Marquis Shen and others. Mrs. Shen's words were only a little smaller than Shen Old Ancestor's, but she didn't mind; The words Mrs. Shen got were smaller than Mrs. Shen's, and she was happy in her eyes when she saw them.

When the old marquis father and son saw the combined character of Yuan Xianglizhen, their eyes narrowed with laughter: these four words are not only a good omen, but also another meaning is to praise a person for having the four virtues of a gentleman; Although their father and son are martial arts, they are also familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and they are naturally very happy to see these four words.

Everyone discussed whether to frame the words, or directly paste this big bucket square on the hall to make a celebration; It also allows the guests who come to the house to pay New Year's greetings.

However, Shen Wu insisted on opposing everyone posting or framing the bucket and hanging it on the wall; He still wants to make money with these three words; But everyone in the Shen family disagreed, and no one refused to give him their own words.

Shen Laozu scolded with a smile: "If you want to sell it, sell your handwriting, don't plan for me." ”

Seeing that Fifth Master Shen was like this, Red Sleeves gently persuaded: "Fifth Uncle, although these three words are a bit novel, as long as we sell them well, there will definitely be other merchants copying them, and I am afraid that we will not make much money at that time." ”

Fifth Master Shen didn't expect Red Sleeves to say such a thing, he turned his head and took a deep look at Red Sleeves and said with a smile: "You are very right, but I won't ...... all the words at once."

Red Sleeves understood Master Shen's plan, she tilted her head and thought for a while: "Well, if this is the case, we can hold on for a while, and with the number of shops in our Hou Ye's Mansion, we can also make a lot of money; If my uncle insists on selling this word, I can write a few more words to my uncle, and you won't ask your ancestors again......"

"Really? Can you still write big words like this? Great, great! Be sure to write more words like "Fortune and Treasure" - these sell more and sell fast! Fifth Master Shen was very happy, but he still didn't let go of the words in the hands of Shen Laozu and the others.

Red Sleeves finally understood why the business of the Hou Yefu was doing well: the fifth master of the Shen family was a businessman, and he took pleasure in doing business and making money; Since the fifth master already had this plan, Red Sleeves wanted to fulfill him.

Since she wants to sell it, she can't just sell the bucket side, but she can also make a lot of things to sell with this kind of combined big characters: such as embroidery, of course, there are more things, she has to find a time to talk to Master Shen Wu.

In the end, it was Shen Laozu and others who made concessions: the words were handed over to Shen Wu to be framed, and then they were each collected in the inner room to prevent outsiders from seeing them, unless he had already started selling the word; Fifth Master Shen also repeatedly told the masters of the Shen family to tell the people around him not to spread these three words - next year's New Year's Festival, he must make a lot of money.

Although the gift given by Red Sleeves this time did not cost anything, it won the hearts of the masters of the Shen family; After achieving the goal, it was not too early to see the sky, and Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge said goodbye and went to the second uncle; Then he hurried back to the room to freshen up again: after a while, everyone from all the rooms and courtyards of the Shen family would gather at Shen Laozu for dinner.

After Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge left, Shen Wu said to Shen Laozu and the others seriously: "This nephew and daughter-in-law of mine is a very good person who can be the head of the house; Well, I should say that I am a good at managing money, but it's a pity that it's a woman, otherwise I would have gone out with me......"

Shen Lao Zu looked at him: "Really? It's good, it's good. But she didn't say what was good; Looking at the big words on the side, her heart was even more comfortable: "Sleeve this child, the more I look at it, the more I like it from the bottom of my heart." ”

The words of the fifth master Shen have always had weight in the Shen family: he is different from other concubines.

Mrs. Shen also nodded when she heard it, and she was also happy: Who doesn't want to live a full life? She is also an elderly person, this Lu is still down, but Fushou is very much wanted.

The red sleeves are sent at the right time: the New Year's Festival, everyone wants a good color.

Of course, it is impossible for the county lord of Pingnan and Miss Xuan not to give New Year's gifts, and they are also racking their brains; Gifts are not only valuable, but also novel and intimate.

Originally, Shen Laozu and the others were either amazed by their gifts, or they smiled: they were either amazed by the county lord's thoughts, or moved by Miss Xuan's filial piety.

But now it's different, those things have become mundane in front of the three big characters of the red sleeves; However, because of Master Shen Wu, the words sent by the red sleeves were hidden by their respective winners, so the county lord of Pingnan and Miss Xuan didn't know.

The county lord of Pingnan changed into the clothes she had chosen, and arrived in Shen Laozu's courtyard not too early or too late; However, she said that she did not sit on the main seat, but sat beside Shen Laozu: "Today is a day of reunion, so when it is a family banquet, I should hold a junior ceremony; If I come according to the rules of the court, then I shouldn't eat here, I should ......"

The people of the Shen family couldn't persuade her again, so they had to sit down with her: let the county lord of Pingnan continue, she was afraid that she would cry; A girl has just lost her father, and it is indeed a little bleak when she lives in Shenfu during the New Year; Besides, she can't be allowed to cry on a festive day like the New Year's Festival, which will ruin everyone's interest.

Aunt Shen's "milk" and "milk" also came with her children, and she went around in a circle: because she was a married daughter, she could not "face each other" with the ancestors of the Shen family who were offered in the main hall - this is a custom.

Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge came later, but Shen Lao Zu was not unhappy at all, and as soon as he saw Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge, he called them to sit beside him.

Because the county lord of Pingnan sat on the left side of Shen Laozu, Shen Miaoge's husband and wife could only sit on the right side of Shen Laozu: then the county lord of Pingnan and Shen Miaoge were on the left and right, and it should have been the red sleeves and Shen Miaoge who originally did this - Shen Miaoge on the left and red sleeves on the right.

Shen's eldest girl, Mengxi, took the first step to sit on the seat on the right: "Old ancestor, you have to hurt me more." ”

Shen Laozu was happy to see the red sleeves just now, and he didn't think so much for a while; But after the words came out, he also remembered that something was wrong, and he was trying to make amends, but he didn't want Mengxi to sit over.

"Okay, okay, you will sit next to me today, and you will not be able to rob you of any of them; You, our Shen family can't stay for a few days, so we should have taken care of you more. Shen Laozu smiled and joked about Mengxi, and then let her sit beside him.

Mengxi's face flushed, and she snuggled up to Shen Laozu's body; The people in the room all laughed and wanted to cherish Mengxi more.

Mrs. Shen smiled and summoned Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves to sit down beside her: "It doesn't matter, the ancestor loves your eldest sister, I will hurt you." ”

Shen Miaoge pulled her red sleeves and asked her to sit down next to her: "Sister, just sit and don't move, just let your sleeve sister sit here." ”

Meng Qi didn't push back, and responded with a smile: her upper left head was originally Miss Xuan's seat.

Everyone finally sat down, and with Shen Laozu's instructions, the servants began to serve the food. Remember the permanent address of Q Pig Literature Station: for easy reading next time!
