Volume 1 Chapter 346 I Have My Own Arrangements
Although Xu He's words made the Shen family have a very good impression of him.
But the topic that had just been silent was not good to bring up again.
During the banquet, Xu He thought that the Shen family would talk about the salt farm, but he didn't expect that everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they didn't say anything about officialdom and finances at this family banquet.
It's a simple family feast.
Among them, it is estimated that Mrs. Shen Han's middle-aged woman went out.
When he came back, he was even more enthusiastic about Xu He, and inquired about Xu He's family again and again.
When he heard that Xu He's father had died early and that he had only one widowed mother at home, he had even more smiles on his face.
"It's not easy for your mother, your father left early, and your mother can keep festivals and raise you to adulthood, which shows that your Xu family style is very good!" The middle-aged woman said.
In this era, it is actually very common for the husband to die and remarry, and in the early years of the dynasty, even the government would encourage this situation because of the population problem.
But today, in a family, if the husband dies and the wife remarries, ordinary people are nothing.
But if it is placed in the Gaomen clan, this situation will be spurned.
Obviously, the middle-aged woman was very satisfied with Xie's approach.
When Xu He saw this, he didn't think so.
It's also a woman, but I don't know if this kind of thing happened to her, would she ask herself the same?
But on second thought, isn't this a curse for Shen Hanga?
Forget it, when I didn't think about it.
After finishing the meal, he said silently: "Liangsheng, you don't want to go, just rest in the guest room!" Go fishing with the old man tomorrow morning! ”
These words made everyone in the Shen family present even more suspicious, Shen Mo has not asked about the world for all these years, and even the younger generations of the Shen family are rarely close.
Alone in the mountains, except for the two old servants to take care of them, Shen Xuan and them rarely see Shen Xuan on weekdays.
But Xu He, an outsider, could make Shen Mo so attentive, which really surprised everyone, including Shen Han.
But who knew that Xu He got up and said: "Songjiang Gong's kindness, the younger generation understands it, tomorrow morning, I will set off to return to Hailing, and after taking care of the family, I will go back to the house to study and take a vacation!" ”
Shen Mo was not angry, nodded and smiled: "That's okay, you young people can do it yourself!" ”
After speaking, he got up and said to everyone: "I am also tired, and you should rest early!" ”
When he came out of Shen's house, the moon was scarce, and when Shen Xuan sent him to the door, he wanted to speak several times.
Xu He said curiously: "Brother Zongqi, do you have something to say?" ”
Shen Xuan looked at Xu He a few more times in the light of the lantern at the gate, sighed and said, "Liangsheng, today's incident made you see a joke!" ”
Xu He knew that he was talking about Shen Yu.
But he smiled slightly and said: "Brother Zongqi, your hands have five fingers, each with its own short and long, your Shen family has a big business, it is inevitable!" ”
Shen Xuan nodded, and saw that Ding Ze had already led the big green mule to the front of the mansion, so he smiled and said, "Our brothers are estimated to be able to meet again soon, take care!" ”
Xu He arched his hand and said, "Take care!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and got on the mule and left the gate of the Shen Mansion.
After walking for a while, Ding Ze said, "Childe, that Shen Gongzi is still at the door." ”
Xu He nodded and didn't look back.
He and Shen Xuan, in fact, the relationship between the two is a bit complicated.
On the surface, they are friends, but the three views of the two are actually completely different.
It stands to reason that such friends will part ways sooner or later.
But the situation is a bit more complicated.
Xu He didn't know how to describe it.
Just like in later life, he also had a few friends when he was in school, and as he got older, the life experiences of his friends were also very different.
Although every time we are together, there is not even a common language.
But everyone still cherishes the original friendship.
The metaphor is not very appropriate, but the situation is somewhat similar.
……
Not long after Xu He left, Shen Han's room.
With the help of the maid, Mrs. Shen carefully took off her husband's clothes, and then handed him a bowl of tea to sober up.
"Master, what's wrong with Shen Yu? Provoked you to lose your temper so much? Mrs. Shen asked cautiously.
Shen Han snorted and said: "It's all what you're used to, the prefect of Songjiang only gave me a couplet, this rebel is too polite, and he dares to take advantage of me and Xuan'er not paying attention, unfold the couplet in front of all the guests, and loudly mock the prefect Fang!" ”
Mrs. Shen smiled: "I thought it was a big deal, what happened to the Songjiang Prefect?" If they want to sit firmly in this position, they don't have to rely on our Shen family to support them, anyway, they have already said it, master, don't lose your temper! ”
Shen Han looked at Mrs. Shen in disbelief and scolded: "Ridiculous, that surnamed Fang begs our Shen family again, but he is also an official of the imperial court, a dignified four-grade official, what is your son?" Not even a student, why should he mock others? ”
Mrs. Shen was unhappy: "Then what should I do?" It's a big deal, let Shen Yu go to his mansion tomorrow to make amends! ”
Shen Han looked at the woman who had shared the bed with him for more than ten years, and felt that it was ridiculous in his heart, such words actually came from Wang Liangchen's sister?
Humiliated people and apologized afterwards?
What's the difference between killing someone and saying I'm sorry?
Seeing that her husband was silent, Mrs. Shen knew that what she had just said made Shen Han dissatisfied.
Although she doesn't know why her husband is dissatisfied, she can clearly feel her husband's displeasure after so many years of getting along.
So she changed the topic and asked, "Master, what do you think of the little brother of the Xu family?" Isn't it just right to match our eldest sister? ”
When Shen Han heard this, he finally opened his eyes and nodded: "It's rare that you have done something reliable, Xu He is not only very good at writing, but also speaks and does things freely, neither humble nor arrogant!" If this can be done, it will not be difficult for the eldest sister to get a destiny in the future! ”
Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "The eldest sister also watched Brother Xu behind the curtain today!" ”
Shen Han laughed hard when he heard this, and asked, "How is it?" How did the eldest sister react? ”
Mrs. Shen smiled: "Naturally, she is satisfied, although she didn't say a word, but that face was red like that, and she still stood behind the curtain and didn't leave, until I asked her what she wanted, and she ran away!" ”
Speaking of their daughter's embarrassment, both husband and wife laughed unkindly.
Shen Han said: "The reason why I held this family banquet alone is to let my father get in touch with Xu He and help the eldest sister check it!" ”
Only then did Mrs. Shen know that the reason why she asked Wang Liangchen and Shen Xuan to arrange a small banquet temporarily turned into a family banquet was that her husband asked the old man to personally check the eldest sister.
Mrs. Shen took her husband's hand and said, "It's still the master who loves the eldest sister!" ”
Shen Han said with a smile: "That's natural, I have three sons, but I only have this one daughter, of course I have to pay attention to his marriage!" ”
Mrs. Shen asked again, "Then the old lady, have you asked him what he thinks after eating?"
Shen Han smiled slightly: "Do you still need to ask?" When did you see your father inviting someone to fish with him? ”
Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up: "What about this matter?" ”
Shen Han took off his shoes and lay down on the bed, snorted comfortably, and then closed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements!" ”
