Chapter 7: The Four Sisters

One

Before Shen Qingluo walked into the hall, Bao'er ran in with a shout, and her joy was overflowing: "Dad, mother, the eldest sister is back!" ”

"Look at you! Run slowly and don't fall! With a pampered snort, a dignified lady stood up from her seat, it was Mrs. Shen. Next to him, sat Shen Wanjin, the head of the family.

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Qingluo with pity and concern, her eyes full of kindness.

"Dad, mother." Shen Qingluo called out eagerly.

Nanyun immediately knelt down: "The son-in-law has seen my father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”

Shen Wanjin smiled and said, "Good boy, get up, it's cold underground." ”

At this time, Bao'er walked over with a gorgeously dressed woman, pointed to Nanyun and said, "Look, isn't my brother-in-law very good-looking?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "Little naughty, when did I say that your brother-in-law is not good-looking?" ”

As he spoke, he looked Nagumo up and down.

The woman was about thirty years old, and she was extremely bewitching and beautiful. A pair of bright eyes, the water waves, seem to be able to see people's hearts.

Shen Wanjin smiled: "In front of my son-in-law, I am not more solemn. Although it is a reproach, it is clearly a doting tone.

The woman laughed and said, "Am I not telling the truth?" Master, among your four sons-in-law, this is the most beautiful one, and you can pick it. With a turn of his eyes, he swept towards Mrs. Shen, and the corners of his mouth were slightly contemptuous.

Mrs. Shen just didn't see it.

Shen Wanjin pointed at the woman and said to Nanyun, "Come and see Aunt Lian." ”

"Aunt Lian is well." Nagumo hurriedly asked for peace.

It turned out that this woman was Shen Wanjin's concubine, no wonder she was a little amorous. Nagumo said in his heart.

"Say hello to Aunt Lian." Shen Qingluo bowed slightly.

Aunt Lian hurriedly made a gesture to help, and the smile on her face seemed to bloom: "Yo, eldest lady, you are out of the pavilion, you have become a bride, you are much more beautiful, and you are almost in time for your fourth sister." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

Mrs. Shen stood up and said to Shen Wanjin: "Master, you don't care!" ”

Shen Wanjin's face sank like water, and he shouted to Aunt Lian: "You are also presumptuous!" The son-in-law is at home, and there are a few words to say! ”

Aunt Lian opened her mouth to argue a few more words, but finally returned to her seat and sat down quietly.

Shen Wanjin coughed lightly a few times to hide his embarrassed expression, turned to Nan Yun, and patted the seat beside him: "Come, sit next to me." ”

Nanyun followed his words and sat down beside Shen Wanjin.

Shen Wanjin said kindly: "New home, are you still satisfied?" What is lacking, only words. ”

Nanyun said humbly: "Thank you father-in-law for bothering, there is nothing wrong." ”

Shen Wanjin paused, seemed to be unable to speak, and looked at Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen understood, and immediately said: "The little girl is ugly, and I hope that the virtuous son-in-law will not give up." ”

Nanyun smiled slightly: "Qingluo is very good." Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please rest assured. ”

Mrs. Shen seemed to believe it or not, and looked at Shen Qingluo with hesitant and inquiring eyes.

Shen Qingluo's face was expressionless at this time. It seems that Aunt Lian's words really stabbed her.

Nagumo was nervous for a moment.

If Shen Qingluo told her parents that up to now, there was no round house, I believe that the faces of Shen Wanjin and his wife would not be good-looking.

Mrs. Shen called softly: "Qingluo! ”

Shen Qingluo came to her senses and quickly glanced at Nanyun.

Nagumo's face was full of anticipation and anxiety. Slightly, Shen Qingluo read the apologies from it.

Shen Qingluo had shyness on her face, turned her face away, and said in a low voice: "Mother! The husband treats his daughter very well. ”

Mrs. Shen and Shen Wanjin looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved expression on their faces. It can be seen that they are really uneasy these days.

They were terrified that their ugly daughter would be returned untouched. Then their faces will be disgraced.

Shen Wanjin laughed and waved his hand at Lao Xingyi, who was waiting outside the hall: "Set up a banquet and entertain guests!" ”

Bao'er exclaimed, "Okay, I like to eat the most!" ”

Shen Wanjin smiled: "Little rice bucket, don't you eat on weekdays?" ”

Bao'er tilted her head, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Today is different." There are a lot of people today. There's a new brother-in-law! ”

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he said loudly: "Wait a minute, there is one less person!" ”

"Isn't it all here? Who is missing? Aunt Lian's eyes flashed with a little cunning.

Bao'er pretended to be smart and said loudly: "There is no fourth sister!" ”

"Just talk too much!" Mrs. Shen slapped her, and Bao'er immediately burst into tears.

Shen Wanjin hurriedly picked up Bao'er, coaxing his son, and reproaching Mrs. Shen: "What does a child know, is it worth making such a big fuss?" What should I do if I break my precious son? ”

Aunt Lian looked like she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and echoed: "Yes, I finally got a son when I got old, and it was broken, what should I do?" ”

Mrs. Shen couldn't hold back any longer, walked a few steps quickly, rushed to Aunt Lian, raised her arm, and was about to fall with a slap.

Aunt Lian exclaimed, "Master, look, Madame beat me!" ”

Mrs. Shen said angrily: "It's you slut who beats you!" I thought I had given birth to three beautiful daughters, and I rode on my head every day, making waves! ”

Shen Wanjin shouted: "Stop! ”

Mrs. Shen looked at her angry husband, then at the surprised Nanyun, and finally, slowly lowered her arm.

The new son-in-law is in the hall, after all, there is still some decency.

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

Nanyun was thinking in his heart at this time, who is this fourth sister? Why, as soon as she is mentioned, the world is in chaos? Even the dignified and reserved Mrs. Shen couldn't help it?

In the huge hall, only Bao'er's deafening cry was heard.

Shen Qingluo, who had been silent, slowly stepped out of her seat and took Bao'er from her father's arms.

Bao'er cried aggrievedly.

Shen Qingluo said softly: "Good Bao'er, don't cry." Let's go and call the fourth sister to come to dinner together, okay? ”

Boa cried louder and louder.

Shen Qingluo turned her face to look at everyone: "The fourth sister is here." I already know. There is nothing to shy away from. ”

Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter with some heartache: "Qingluo." ”

Shen Qingluo smiled and said, "It's mine, it's mine." Not mine, never mine. ”

Nagumo was confused. What do you mean?

What's yours or mine?

This fourth sister, where is it sacred?

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that just now, on the way here, the fuqin, the purple-clothed woman who sang "Liangzhou Ci".

Could it be that the woman is the fourth sister?

For the Shen family, Nanyun has a preliminary understanding.

He knew that Shen Wanjin had a wife and a concubine, the eldest daughter Shen Qingluo, and the only son Bao'er, who was born in the main room. The three daughters born to concubines were all born to concubines.

Although she is the daughter of a concubine, with the Shen family's family reputation and excellent appearance, she has married into a wealthy family, among which there are many royal relatives.

The eldest daughter of her own son-in-law married a cloth son-in-law, Mrs. Shen, she will be a little lonely in her heart. It is precisely because of this that it is even more difficult for her to endure the ridicule of her concubines. Nagumo thought.

It turns out that behind the glamorous and glamorous wealthy family, there are also unknown and unspeakable secrets.

This fourth sister is probably Shen Wanjin's youngest daughter.

So, what does this fourth sister and eldest sister Shen Qingluo have to do with making everyone so nervous?

And Aunt Lian, several times, mentioned the fourth sister to stimulate Mrs. Shen, why?

Nagumo was full of curiosity.

A longing for the woman rose in his heart.

The white wrist, the green jade bracelet, the dexterous fingers, the graceful singing voice, and the sound of the piano like mountains and rivers.

If she had turned around, what would she have been?

Nagumo looked around and suddenly noticed that there was a pair of eyes, always staring at him.

Nagumo met this gaze.

It's Yuan'er.

Yuan'er stood beside Shen Qingluo, and involuntarily, with a pair of eyes, followed Nanyun.

Little girl, she doesn't know how to hide it at all! Nagumo was secretly annoyed.

A girl who is just starting to fall in love, where does she understand a man's mind. It's just a fantasy.

Yuan'er found out that Nanyun had finally seen her, and a shy look immediately appeared on her face.

Nagumo was secretly annoyed.

For a while, he was drunk and couldn't control it, and he seduced Shen Qingluo's personal maid, if it was leaked, I was afraid that it would be difficult to explain.

I just hope that I won't be discovered. Even if you want to take a concubine, at the very least, you have to wait for a year and a half before you can make a plan.

And no wonder yourself,

I only complain that the young lady is too ugly and the maid is too pretty.

I was thinking about it, and the food and drinks were already on the table.

Shen Wanjin broke the deadlock and beckoned everyone: "Come, eat!" ”

Mrs. Shen regained a perfect smile on her face: "Virtuous son-in-law, please take a seat." ”

Nanyun held Shen Qingluo's hand and said softly, "Qingluo, let's eat." Then he picked up Bao'er and said with a smile: "Bao'er, sit with your brother-in-law, okay?" ”

Bao'er burst into tears and smiled: "Okay." ”

Aunt Lian also sat on Shen Wanjin's right side with interest, and obediently picked up the chopsticks.

No one mentioned any more four sisters and four sisters.

Shen Qingluo sat silently beside Nanyun.

Miss! ”

A soft female voice asked slowly, "I heard that the eldest sister is back, right?" ”
