Songjiang Shen Mansion.

It happened that there was nothing to do today, and Shen Han's family finally got together for dinner.

Mrs. Shen specially told the kitchen to simmer the bamboo sunflower sent by Mei Qiming, the master's student, Sichuan political envoy, in chicken soup as the main dish tonight.

Bamboo sunflower this thing parasitic in the root of the withered bamboo, in this era is difficult to find precious ingredients, its shape slightly like a network of dry white skin, dark green fungus cap, people call it one of the "eight treasures of grass", is a rare nourishing product.

Shen Han had just finished writing a letter to a group of students in his study, and although he had not been out of office over the years, the contact with officialdom had never been broken.

For example, Mei Qiming, the political envoy of Sichuan, was his subordinate in the Ministry of Rites, and when he was the same examiner, he was recruited as a new science and technology jinshi.

It stands to reason that although the same examiner is also a teacher in the officialdom, he is not as valued as the teacher who is the examiner.

But Shen Han relied on the silent water grinding kung fu of the drizzle, and united many feudal officials like Mei Qiming around him.

When he came to the dining table and sat down, Shen had already taken Shen Xuan and Shen Yu to stand at the table and wait.

Seeing him sit down, Shen smiled mysteriously: "Master, in the past, our small family had a rare reunion, except for Brother Qiong, everyone finally arrived, guess what delicious food I made for you?" ”

Shen Han was in a good mood today, so he cooperated with his wife, pretending to be interested, and said curiously: "What? ”

Shen opened the lid of the casserole in the middle of the table as if offering a treasure, and suddenly, a rich fragrance came to his nose.

"Dad, it's Zhusun!" Shen Yu playfully crossed Shen Xuan and sat down beside his father and said.

Shen Han looked at the bamboo sun in the casserole and smiled: "This is sent by Mei Qi Ming, right?" ”

Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "The old man still has a good memory, no, it was just delivered, while it was still fresh, I asked the kitchen to stew chicken soup to make up for the master's body!" ”

Shen Han looked at the casserole, but suddenly frowned and said, "Why are there only three bamboo sunflowers?" I remember the letter saying it was a basket! ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen hurriedly said: "Look at what the old man said, how can such a good thing as Zhusun be patronized for our own use, I took a few of them, and asked the others to be sent into the mountains for the old lady!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Han nodded again and again, and his mood was even better.

It was rare for him to take his old wife's hand in front of his son, let her sit beside him, and then sighed while patting Shen's hand: "It's rare that you have this filial piety, my father is old, although his health is not bad, but we are children, we still have to think more about him!" ”

"That's what the master said!" Shen Shi Zhengse said: "Without the old lady, how can we have our Shen family today!" It's a pity that the old lady refuses to go back to live in the house, and you take care of the affairs of the family every day, and the concubine is only filial piety on behalf of the master! ”

Shen Han sighed, patted his old wife's hand again, and said, "It's hard for you!" ”

Shen Xuan watched Shen's behavior from the side, and secretly sneered in his heart, don't look at his [mother] in front of his father with the posture of a good wife and mother, in private, he killed the maid with a cane at every turn, and used the name of the Shen family to lend money outside, once someone can't pay back the money, the floating corpse can be seen on the Huangpu River the next day.

It's not that he hasn't reminded his father through others, but Shen really has a set of things in coaxing her husband.

My father is very shrewd in other places, and it is in this point that he unconditionally trusts the person next to him.

Shen Xuan is not from the Shen Wang family in front of him, Shen Han's wife is actually Wang Liangchen's eldest sister, the Wang sisters married Shen Han together, Shen Xuan's mother is a wife, and this Shen Wang is actually a concubine.

After Shen Han got married, this Mr. Shen Wang gave birth to Shen Qiong, and then Shen Xuan was born, but when Shen Xuan was born, his mother died of dystocia.

A few years later, Shen Han took into account the situation of his son-in-law Shen Xuan, and did not remarry, but supported Shen Qiong and Shen Yu's mother, that is, Shen Xuan's sister-in-law.

Shen Han's abacus is very good, he thinks that although Shen Xuan is not from Shen Wang's family, but Shen Wang's is Shen Xuan's sister-in-law, and he will not treat his sister-in-law badly.

But who knows, after all, across the belly, for the identity of her two sons, Shen Wang's family doesn't like Shen Xuan anywhere, coupled with Shen Xuan's provocation, she will reprimand Shen Xuan at every turn, making Shen Xuan's sister-in-law in the Shen family's situation very embarrassing.

After Shen Han and his wife said thoughtful words, seeing that Shen Xuan was still on the side, Shen Wangshi endured the unhappiness in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Xuan, don't you hurry up and sit down, the chicken soup will be cold for a while, what do you want your father to drink?" ”

This little thing has to give himself some eye medicine, Shen Xuan is enough in his heart, and after he sits down, Shen Wang's family will come to be a demon again.

"There are only three bamboo sunflowers today, if you two brothers can help your father share a little more family affairs in the future, my mother will be the master and reward you with a bamboo sunflower!" Shen Wang looked at Shen Xuan and Shen Yu with a smile.

Shen Han did not doubt him, and this kind of precious family happiness was the reason why he was willing to believe in the Shen Wang family and hand over the backyard to her.

As soon as Shen Wang's words fell, he set his eyes on Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan was still wondering what Shen Wang's family was going to do, but seeing that her gaze fell on her, Shen Han's gaze also followed, and after thinking about it, there seemed to be no traps, sharing worries for her father, could this be wrong?

So he took a piece of bamboo sunflower and put it in his bowl, then stood up and said respectfully to Shen Han: "Father, the son is not talented, but he is also willing to share some trivial matters for his father!" ”

Seeing this, Shen Han nodded with a smile, he was still very satisfied with his second son, not to mention being smart, and doing things calmly, especially the recent private salt incident, Shen Xuan's performance can be said to be completely different from what a young man in his twenties should have.

He nodded and said gently: "Eat, eat, it's all family, why are you talking about this?" ”

When Shen Xuan heard his father's words, he sat down with a long sigh of relief!

Seeing this, Shen Wang smiled slightly, suddenly turned his head to look at his biological son Shen Yu, who had been indifferent, and frowned: "Third child, why don't you clip a piece of bamboo sun?" Don't you want to share something for your father? ”

Shen Han turned his head and looked at his third child, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

The third son of his own family has been stubborn since he was a child, and compared with his two elder brothers, he is simply a rice bucket.

Thinking of this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and his good mood just now suddenly darkened a lot.

At this time, Shen Yu raised his head and said casually: "There are only two bamboo sunflowers left, I took them, there is always one of my father and mother who can't enjoy it, I don't want it!" ”

In a word, Shen Xuan cpU on the side was all smoked, and a chill rushed straight from the root of the tail to the Tianling Gai, where are you Shen Yu the third child, aren't you the sixth pure old man?

You're coming at me, what's this love test, isn't this a heart-eye test?

No, I'm heart-to-heart with my father, why are you playing with me?

At your young age, your heart is sinister!

Sure enough, Shen Han on the side was stunned at first, and then the whole person was visibly happy, he patted Shen Yu's shoulder and sighed: "The third child has grown up!" For the Father's Heart...... What a comfort! ”
