Everyone got into the carriage and returned to the Sheng family, the men drank tea in the hall of the main courtyard, and the female dependents went to the backyard to catch up.

And those subordinates began to carry things inside one after another, and the housekeepers of each courtyard were directing.

"That box, this is the eldest lady's favorite teacup, and no one can afford to break it~"

"Bang!"

"Oh, you idiot, this is the eldest prince's book, let's see if there is any damage in it?"

"Are you blind, our things in Lin Qi Pavilion, if you bump into it......"

The noisy sound outside made Yuan Wenshao, who was sitting on the chair on the left hand side of the hall, frown, and even more unhappy in his heart, which was also a bit too unruly.

And Sheng Hong, who was on the top, also noticed that something was wrong, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, he didn't have to guess to know that it must be his eldest lady who saw her daughter come back and left everything behind.

So he hurriedly turned his head and ordered: "Dong Rong, send someone to the backyard to tell the eldest lady!" ”

And Sheng Wei, who specially sent his younger brother to Beijing, chatted with his niece and son-in-law who was sitting on the side, and he didn't leave his son in three or two sentences.

"Zhong Xuan, since the last time my parents went back, I fiddled with the sword you gave me every day, usually it's a treasure, and others can't touch it if they want to~"

"Uncle, it's good that Brother Changwu likes it, that blacksmith shop has good craftsmanship, I'm asking someone to fight a spear when I turn around, I will bring it to Changwu when you leave, if you join the army in the future, you still have to practice more long-handled tools~"

"Okay, good, sorry for the trouble!"

"Uncle, you're too polite~"

Yuan Wenshao likes to chat with Sheng Wei, probably because he has been in business, and people never let this fall to the ground, which makes you feel very comfortable.

With this long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, the atmosphere in the room has never been cold, and you and I are very happy to talk about it.

As soon as Yuan Wenshao finished speaking, he turned around and saw the two brothers-in-law sitting opposite, whose behavior can be said to be diametrically opposed, which shows the importance of education.

Don't care how anxious and heartless the mother-in-law is, but she is also the daughter of a large family, and the children are all good, and I didn't see Changbai sitting in that order.

And Sheng Changfeng, who was born by the little lady, although he does not belong to his sister-in-law in terms of clothing, he is already 12 years old at this time, and his parents are not good-looking, so he is naturally not far behind, so he can be regarded as a little handsome guy.

But there seemed to be a nail under the buttocks, moving back and forth left and right, eating a pastry and drinking tea for a while, in short, compared with the brother next to him, it was simply blind.

After retracting his gaze, Yuan Wenshao shook his head slightly, and then brought up other topics.

"Father-in-law, after you come to Beijing, which academy do you plan to let Zecheng go to, you can't delay your studies, please tell me where there is a son-in-law to help!"

"Well, Zhong Xuan has a heart!"

Hearing his son-in-law say this, Sheng Hong stroked his beard and was very happy.

He is most proud of his eldest son, who has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and he is usually carefully cultivated, and this child lives up to expectations, and there is nothing to say in terms of school hours, and all the masters who have taught him have a very high evaluation.

For the next arrangement, I feel extremely proud and proud, so I speak a little bit of ostentatiousness.

"Next, I don't plan to let Changbai go to the school, Zhuang Xuexue has agreed to come to the house to be a private school teacher, so that you can have a good environment at home~"

"Father-in-law, are you talking about Mr. Da Ruzhuang?"

"Well, that's the person~"

"Oh, it's not easy to invite him, as far as I know, before Lian Guogong had a thousand yuan a year, Zhuang Xuexue and his old man didn't agree!"

Yuan Wenshao also said this on purpose, anyway, he just held it and chatted.

Sure enough, these words were tickled Sheng Hong's flesh, and when he heard his son-in-law's compliment, he was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be modest on the surface.

"It's nothing, my father used to have an old friend with Zhuang Xuexue, so he agreed to teach a private school for a few years!"

A few people chatted for a while, and a grandmother walked in from outside.

Bow and salute: "Lord, the meal is ready, the eldest lady invites you to come over for dinner~"

"Good!" Sheng Hong nodded, and then didn't want to get up and look to the right.

"Big brother, Zhong Xuan, let's go over for dinner, we must drink two more glasses today~"

Because Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan have already married and are considered a family banquet, they did not abide by the rule that men and women cannot sit together, and everyone came to the dining room of the inner courtyard together, and there were already many people sitting in it at this time.

Everyone has just seen it, the old lady and a few young children are not here, and the one sitting next to her mother-in-law Wang Ruofu is a strange woman, who looks like she is about 30 years old, and she is still charming.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang stood up from her chair and introduced, "Zhong Xuan, this is my sister and Hua'er's aunt!" ”

"I've seen Aunt Kang~" Yuan Wenshao said and sat directly next to his mother.

Aunt Kang, on the other hand, was very arrogant, and she didn't stand up when she heard this greeting, but just nodded in response.

She felt that her mother's father was worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, and her father-in-law was a second-grade member before, and she could eat at the same table with a small eight-grade Jingcheng, which could be regarded as worthy of him.

But Sheng Hong's face is not very good, he is a scholar and pays more attention to the rules in some things, if he had known that this wife and sister would come, he would not have arranged it like this at all, after all, the eldest brother is still standing next to him.

Sheng Wei on the side reacted relatively quickly, and quickly made an excuse to leave by himself.

This meal was an embarrassment, but Aunt Kang felt good about herself, and kept talking to her sister arrogantly, showing off how her family was doing......

Yuan Wenshao was still a little puzzled, he was not surprised that Aunt Kang came over, but he wondered why she was alone, and then it made sense to think about it carefully.

Uncle Kang's family background is also not bad, the late old man Kang Zhishi was a scholar from the second grade of the Ministry of Officials, and he was a high school scholar in Taizong's dynasty, and since then, he has been prosperous and high-spirited.

As the only son-in-law of the Kang family, he was managed by the old lady when he was young, and he was still a little talented, only 24 years old when he was a second-class jinshi in high school, and his ranking in the palace examination was higher than that of Father Sheng.

But since his father's death, this goods began to let go of himself, Uncle Kang, who had not suffered, spent money lavishly every day, and the concubines were carried to the courtyard countless times all day long, and it is estimated that he can't recognize all the concubines and concubines.

In addition, eating, drinking, and having fun, raising a clear guest, after more than ten years, all the thousands of family fortunes that the original old lady Kang had saved for nearly 40 years as an official were squandered, leaving an empty shell, a famous loser in Bianjing.

Even Yuan Wenshao had to admire, I heard that this person used to spend an average of 100 yuan a day, which is equivalent to his own income from seven grades a year.

That's not the most important thing, he spent a lot of time drinking when he was worried, of course, you didn't have to be sneaky, and the imperial history didn't have time to take care of you.

Even if the concubine is pregnant, it will not be a big deal if he ruthlessly beats the child, but this Aunt Kang is still a lover, and he has to give birth anyway, which gives the truth to other political enemies.

So even if it has been three years of filial piety, every time he wants to make a comeback, someone will join him, even if the official family remembers the good of Mrs. Kang, there is no way, so he has been idle so far.

I guess I'm embarrassed not to come over this time, after all, I looked down on my old father-in-law Sheng Hong the most, but now people are getting better and better, but his own family is not as good as day by day.
