Bachelor's Workshop.

The old birthday banquet of the Shen family and the Shen Han Pavilion.

With the Shen family's people in the southeast, it is natural that the guests are like clouds.

Early in the morning, the bachelor's workshop was cleaned inside and out by the Shen family.

Later, he simply used colored silk to decorate the big trees in the entire bachelor's workshop.

In the evening, the street in front of Shen's house was jammed with carriages and sedan chairs.

The crowd of three and five stood at the door to hand out the posts and gift lists.

Menzi, who was dressed in red, stood in front of the door of the house and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"Zhejiang's political envoy Lord Qu sent Songhe to prolong the year and Yan Shifang!"

"Fujian according to the inspector Gong sent a pair of jade Ruyi!"

"Lord Shangshulong of the Ministry of Industry of Nanjing sent a jade paperweight!"

"Nanjing Guozi Priest Wine, Lord Liu sends a scroll of Baishou Diagram!"

……

At this moment, the well-maintained Shen Han was standing at the gate receiving guests, and Shen Xuan and Shen Yu on the side saw their father saluting, so they bowed and saluted.

Shen Han was talking to a middle-aged man at this time: "This time, you have been edicted to go out of Beijing and serve as the prefect of Huzhou, and you have a great responsibility, especially when Lu Butang has gone, the situation in Zhejiang has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and Huzhou's containment of Wu Yue, the imperial court seems to attach great importance to righteous cultivation!" ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaguan Chumu is a mansion, he has no experience at all, and he still needs the boss to mention a thing or two!" ”

Shen Han smiled: "It's easy to say!" ”

In the room on the side, Mrs. Shen secretly came to the window, looked at the bustle at the gate from a distance, and the maid on the side said: "Madam, you see, although our lord has been out of office for many years, no matter how big the official is, he has come to congratulate the lord on his birthday!" ”

Another maid suddenly said in surprise: "Madam, look, isn't that our Songjiang Governor's Mansion?" ”

Sure enough, the prefect of Fang Xuan, who was talking to Shen Xuan on the shore in the morning, came to Shen Han with a smiling face at the moment, and slammed it to the ground: "I wish Shen Ge good luck and good luck, and the future is blessed!" ”

When Shen Han saw Governor Fang's Mansion, although his face was not as enthusiastic as the other official's enthusiasm, he also smiled and replied: "Lord Fang can come, Shen's Mansion is shining!" ”

Hearing this, the prefect secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to give someone a brocade box, which turned out to be a couplet after opening it.

I saw that after opening it, he wrote: "The famous moon is a pond of lotus, and the sun and moon are long when fishing Wei silk; The pine age is long, and the peach is 3,000 years old! ”

Seeing this couplet, the Shen family was still smiling at first, but seeing that there was no gift list in the follow-up, Shen Han and Shen Xuan were fine, but Shen Yu smiled coldly and said: "Governor Fang is so generous, come here, accept this couplet and hang it in the courtyard for me, so that the guests can see the mind of Governor Fang!" ”

When Governor Fang heard this, his face turned red.

But although Songjiang is a heavy tax place for the imperial court, in fact, the government is small and narrow, and he is not a person who can scavenge, and his life is tight on weekdays, and now where does he get the money to send congratulatory gifts.

As for the hanging scroll of this couplet, he shook his teeth and sold his wife's jade scratch to buy it.

Seeing that the prefect couldn't get off the stage, Shen Han turned his head and glared at his youngest son, and scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense! The person who comes is a guest, and the mind can be reached, how can the guest be divided into three, six, nine and so on depending on the gift? ”

When the guests below and the prefect heard this, they couldn't help but praise Shen Ge Lao in their hearts.

Shen Yu's face was full of disdain, and he said that the seating arrangement in the house was arranged according to the number of gifts, and he thought that he really didn't know anything, and his father and second brother were used to selling well in front of people.

At this moment, suddenly a large green mule in the distance paced towards the door.

On the mule was a young man dressed as a raw man, and a subordinate beside him helped him with an umbrella, and when he passed by the luxurious carriage, he attracted the indignant eyes of the slaves.

When the big green mule stopped in front of the Shen family, the people who came to congratulate the gift sneered disdainfully.

One of the subordinates said to the subordinates of the other family: "I don't know whose family came to give gifts, but I sent a student, but unfortunately I know by looking at the mount that it is not a rich family!" ”

"That's, look at it, when you hand over the post in a while, there's a good show to watch!"

At this time, Xu He stopped in front of the Shen family, looking at the magnificent face, Xu He smiled and said to Ding Ze beside him: "The Songjiang Shen family is two generations of elders, and it is indeed more powerful than our Xu family. ”

Ding Ze pointed to the archway not far behind him and said, "Those two Jinshi workshops are carved with white marble, and they are so big, this Shen family is too rich!" ”

Xu Hegang wanted to say that this archway was built by the state, but after thinking about it, the imperial court would not spend that unjust money, and if you want to be magnificent, you have to pay for it to upgrade! It is said that the Shen family is rich, then it is not wrong!

"Childe, I'll go hand over the post first!" Ding Ze took the big green mule aside and didn't get in the way, turned around and went to the porter to deliver the post.

The porter of the Shen family had actually discovered this strange pair of master and servant a long time ago.

Those who are qualified to come to the Shen family to give gifts are also riding horses and sitting in two small sedan chairs.

He had never seen anyone riding a mule to the Shen family to give gifts.

The subordinates of the congratulatory guests underground gathered their eyes on Ding Ze's body, ready to see how this subordinate should make a fool of himself.

But when Menzi got the post and saw the words [Hailing Xu He], he was suddenly a little stunned, and he hurriedly showed the post to another Menzi next to him.

The other disciple glanced at Ding Ze after reading it, and then turned around and entered the gate and whispered something in Shen Xuan's ear.

The people who are ready to see the joke are all stupid, what is the situation?

Don't play according to the routine.

But the next scene completely subverted their three views.

I saw Shen Xuan, the eldest son of the Shen family, walking out of the door quickly, and under the guidance of the doorman, he personally went down the steps and came to the big green mule.

At this time, Xu He had already tied the mule between the tall horses.

Seeing Shen Xuan coming, he smiled and said, "Brother Zongqi! ”

Seeing this, Shen Xuan affectionately pulled Xu He and said, "Liangsheng, when did you arrive, don't ask your subordinates to notify your brother first, I can send someone to pick you up!" ”

Xu He said with a smile: "I arrived yesterday, I looked at the sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Brother Zongqi was busy for the past two days, so I didn't dare to disturb." ”

The subordinates of the officials at the door were all stupid.

Today's birthday banquet in the Shen Mansion, the master of the Shen family and the two sons were all welcome inside the gate.

They had never seen the second son of the Shen family greet anyone at the bottom of the steps.

What is the origin of this young man?

Unexpectedly, the people of the Shen family ......

But what surprised them even more was that not only the second son of the Shen family came, but the third son of the Shen family also ran down in a hurry.

As soon as he arrived at the man's side, he squeezed his brother aside, and said with an extremely affectionate and exaggerated expression: "This is Liangsheng Virtuous Brother, I am Shen Yu, Shen Xuan's younger brother!" ”

Xu He was a little dazed by the sudden enthusiasm.

Shen Xuan frowned and said, "Third brother, so many people are watching, you ......"

Shen Yu pulled Xu He over, looked at the eldest brother like a thief, and said, "Second brother, what's the matter?" You are only allowed to catch up with the younger brother of the Xu family, so you can't let me make friends with Brother Liangshengxian? ”

The slaves at the door were completely stupid, what kind of sacredness was this big green mule boy who made the two young masters of the Shen family compete to make friends?

"Thank you for the 10,000 Zongheng coins and 22 monthly passes from my book friend Mi Lao, don't say anything, wait for me to come back and add more for you!

Thanks for looking for two bottles of energy drinks from my former brother! Thank you, brother!

I wish you all the best and all the best!

Work goes smoothly and family is happy!

Compare hearts!"
