"My father said that the second uncle may not have what idea he was thinking in his heart, and before my grandmother suddenly wanted to sell pandan to them, she only received more than 100 taels of silver from Yu Yapo, which is strange.

There is also the third sister, her attitude is also very strange, as for the second aunt, it was normal before, but since Shenshui's identity was recognized by her grandmother and second uncle, she is also a little strange, but my father and mother don't know that Shenshui's identity is the third sister who took the initiative to go to her grandmother to say, so I only feel that the second uncle and the second aunt are playing something, and I don't pay attention to the third sister. ”

Regarding the suspicion of Geng Xingbing, Geng Xingchen added it himself.

What Geng Xingbing said in the main courtyard that day did not spread, Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen only knew it through Jinbao's sensitive ears, and without Geng Xingshuang's consent, Geng Xingchen naturally did not know what he overheard others, and even Bai Zhi She had seriously advised.

Geng Xingshuang agrees with Geng Xingchen and is very happy to act like this.

The two sisters walked as they spoke, and soon they reached the gate of the main courtyard, and then stopped talking.

Today, the main courtyard is guarding the door, and when she saw Sister Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen coming over, she bent her knees, "Fifth girl, sixth girl, Mother Qiao came out just now to pass the word, you can go in directly." ”

Geng Xingshuang nodded at the grapes, and entered the courtyard with Geng Xingchen, there was no one guarding the door, too, Geng Shulou had just come back, and there were many people in the house, naturally they would not say anything that could not be humane, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard a male voice coming.

"Grandmother rest assured, although the grandson was surprised, he was not unhappy, after all, it is a good thing to have an extra sister, as for Qiu Yu, there are still more than five months, if I mess up my mind because of this little thing and affect Qiu Yu, then what else is the test, it is better to go home as soon as possible."

These words were bright and atmospheric, and Geng Xingshuang had already heard who the owner of the voice was, it was the eldest young master of Bofu, and their lobby brother Geng Shulou.

"Good, good! Grandmother is relieved when you say that. ”

Xia's tone was gentle and kind, and he looked solemn and harsh in the face of Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingchen, and even Geng Xingbing, as if he was a completely different person.

"Grandmother, mother, open an ancestral hall to recognize relatives, won't the second brother come back?"

Without waiting for Mrs. Bo to answer, Geng Xingshuang had already lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Grandmother, second aunt!"

"Grandmother, second aunt!"

Geng Xingshuang bent her knees towards Xia, who was about to answer Geng Shulou's words, and Yao, who was sitting under Xia's head, she suddenly appeared, and held back the words that Xia's was about to say that were destined not to be good, noticing Xia's sullen look, Geng Xingshuang exhaled quietly.

Geng Xingchen unconsciously walked in with Geng Xingshuang, and when he saw Geng Xingshuang saluting, he hurriedly followed suit.

After greeting the elders, Geng Xingshuang looked at Geng Shulou with a smile on her face, "Big brother, we heard that you were back, so we rushed over, but can we disturb the eldest brother talking to his grandmother and second aunt?" ”

"Naturally not, why do my brothers and sisters need to be so polite, I brought gifts for the fifth and sixth sisters, and I will let Fang Zhu send them to you later."

Geng Shulou smiled gently, and stretched out his hand to support Geng Xingshuang Geng Xingchen, who was slightly bent on his knees.

"Thank you, big brother!" Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen thanked him at the same time.

"Grandmother, mother, my new sister...... It's called submerging, right? Where is she? ”

Geng Xingshuang Geng Xingchen interrupted like this, and the previous topic about Geng Shuhuai was cut off like this, and after sitting down again, Geng Shulou looked at the sisters and asked with a smile.

The smile on Xia's face faded, and the joy on Yao's face when he saw his son seemed to be slightly diluted by this question.

But soon, really quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, the joy on Yao's face returned, if Geng Xingshuang hadn't paid special attention to Yao, he wouldn't have noticed this subtle change.

"Big brother, Sister Shenshui temporarily lives in a room with me, anyway, she used to be by my side, temporarily living with me, so that she is not so restrained, today the eldest brother came back, I called her, but it may be because she has not officially recognized her relatives, she is a little embarrassed, she will be able to see you tomorrow, big brother, you can't be partial, you have to treat all sisters equally!"

Geng Shulou smiled and flexed his fingers, and gently tapped Geng Xingbing's carefully combed lily head.

"It's all big girls, why are you so careful."

"Big brother, you knocked my hair all the way up! Hum! ”

Yao saw that their brother and sister had a good relationship, and the smile on his face seemed much more real.

The fourth girl, Geng Xingyu, had a bad face and pursed her lips, but this was the main courtyard, and in front of the Xia family and the Yao family, she naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Geng Shulou seemed to notice the look of his sister, he looked at Geng Xingyu, and asked with a smile: "Fourth sister, is it okay for the fifth brother to come in?" How did you read the book, did you read the Analects? ”

Geng Xingyu shook his head, "The fifth brother never told me about reading, but the fifth brother admires the eldest brother very much, and has said more than once that if the eldest brother is at home, he can often ask the eldest brother for teaching, and when he starts to learn to make articles, he can also present his articles to the eldest brother to see, please correct the eldest brother, last night I learned from my father that the eldest brother was coming back today, the fifth brother was happy all night, I didn't want to go to school today, and I was afraid that if I really didn't go, the eldest brother would criticize him for delaying his studies, so it was not beautiful, so I still went." ”

"The fifth brother did the right thing, and I didn't just stay at home for a day, so naturally I can't delay my schoolwork."

Geng Shulou praised Geng Shuchen's behavior and looked at Geng Xingchen again.

"Five sisters and six sisters, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm getting better and better, I'll go to Qingcui Courtyard to greet my uncle and aunt in a while, and then go to Wutong Courtyard to say hello to my third uncle and aunt, five sisters and six sisters are willing to go with me?"

Geng Xingshuang Geng Xingchen naturally responded.

Geng Shulou returned to the house this time, the atmosphere in the whole mansion changed, the uncle entered the main courtyard of Mrs. Uncle, Xia Cheng Yao's eyebrows were raised, and even Geng Yan, who had a more hot temper, became a gourd with a closed mouth when he saw Geng Cheng again, his face was cold, but he didn't say a bad word.

Even the people were more active, the fallen leaves on the ground were swept over and over again, the freshly wiped water stains could be seen on the verandah, the kitchen was busy, and the smell of frying and cooking gradually spread in the house.

Geng Shulou's status in the mansion can be seen.

Geng Xingshuang noticed that since Geng Shulou came back in the morning, after the master and the subordinates in the house showed their greatest enthusiasm and excitement, their parents wilted all of a sudden.

Geng Xingshuang knew that they thought of their brother Geng Shuhuai, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

The second brother didn't come back for the Chinese New Year last year, and the last time they met was the Chinese New Year the year before last, and it has been more than a year since now.

Since leaving the house eight years ago, he first went to Suzhou, to his friend and brother-in-law Yang Tingmo, three years ago Yang Tingmo needed to return to Yang's hometown of Lanshi County, Anlan Prefecture to participate in the county examination of Shengning for 11 years, passed the county examination, and obtained the identity of a student, after being admitted to Xiucai, Yang Tingmo did not return to Suzhou, but went to Pingcheng, which is not far from Anlan Mansion, located in the northwest of Daning, thousands of miles away from Suzhou.

At that time, Geng Wen and the Ruan family thought that Geng Shuhuai would come back, after all, Yang Tianmo was no longer in Suzhou, and Geng Shuhuai couldn't stay with their future in-laws, so they didn't raise a son for their in-laws.
