Shen Nianan was only three years younger than him.

I forgot a few years ago, Yan Guogong still felt that the Shen family was not as good-looking as Meng Xiaoniang.

Shen Shi saw that he looked at this and there in a daze, and looked like he was devastated, and said with a smile: "What is Grandpa doing in a daze, why don't you solve the big problem, how hot it is in this house." ”

Yan Guogong snorted, let the maid untie the big fuss, and then sat on the chair.

The tea is warm, the dim sum is a new look that I have never seen before, Yan Guogong is a little at a loss, obviously Xiao Yang is not bad, but as soon as he comes back, it is like a dirt bun entering the city.

"What about Yu Xiaoniang?" Yan Guogong had nothing to say, so he picked up such a sentence.

Staying with the Shen family, he is not very comfortable, Xiyi is different from the original, the little one should be Brother Yan'er, who can't speak yet, looking at him timidly and curiously.

Shen said: "It has been snowing for the past two days, and we didn't expect Grandpa to come back, so Grandpa went to pass the word when he arrived, but it should be soon, and it is estimated that it will arrive in a while." ”

Shen also sat down and asked, "When did Grandpa come back, it's not easy to walk on the road now." ”

Yan Guogong coughed and said, "When I came back from the sixteenth, it was snowing on the road, and I was delayed for a few days. ”

Shen Shi said again: "Mother's body is okay?" ”

Yan Guogong nodded, "It's quite tough." ”

He felt that Shen's voice was gentle and soft, but it was uncomfortable to listen to, so he said, "You don't have to worry about Xiao Yang's side, it's all fine." ”

Shen Shi just asked casually, and she said, "Ning Xiang, you go and urge again." ”

Yan Mingqiao came over when she heard the news, and met the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law at the gate of the main courtyard, the two of them were in a hurry, and the three of them glanced at each other, and it was not good to talk at the gate of the main courtyard.

Xu Jingshu said: "It's cold outside, let's go in first." ”

Zhang Xinyuan is nothing, anyway, Chengjue has nothing to do with the second room, and his father-in-law will come back when he comes back.

Yan Mingqiao nodded, and followed the two sisters-in-law and said, "Father is back, but it should be the same as before, there is no difference." The third brother is not here, sisters-in-law, don't worry. ”

Xu Jingshu probably understood what Yan Mingqiao meant, in fact, she was looking at her mother-in-law, she was a daughter-in-law, her husband was not there, and she had nothing to say to her father-in-law.

As long as filial piety is exhausted.

Yan Mingze is not here, and it's good.

Xu Jingshu is very happy, Yan Mingxuan and Yan Mingye, the two brothers, have a very good relationship, otherwise they would have to add many twists and turns.

The three of them arrived first, only the Shen family was in the house, and after entering the house, they saluted Yan Guogong in a proper manner.

Zhang Xinyuan's daughter-in-law, Yan Guogong has never even seen her, so she is naturally a little rusty, Xu Jingshu is the eldest daughter-in-law, but there is a gap between her father-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she didn't say anything after asking An.

Besides, Yan Mingqiao is not close enough to Yan Guogong, he hasn't seen him for two years, and now he is almost fifteen years old, so it is naturally impossible to be coquettish with his father, the three of them also asked how Xiao Yang is, Ning's body is healthy, so Yan Guogong is impatient, and he doesn't ask how he is doing, it's useless to just ask.

And when Yu Xiaoniang and the others came over, this feeling became even stronger.

Yu Xiaoniang and they are also a little unfamiliar with Yan Guogong, and to be honest, their sons are in their teens, they are in their thirties, and most of them have both children under their knees, so naturally they don't have the heart to compete for favor.

Besides, after these two years, at first glance, Yan Guogong is not as good-looking as before, he is old, and there are two more wrinkles, sitting next to his wife, it is not enough to see.

Really, once I went back to Xiaoyang, it was different.

These people are all compared, in the past, when Yan Guogong was in the house, their life was not as good as when Yan Guogong was not in the house in the past two years.

Madame will give them silver, as long as they are peaceful, obedient, and sensible, they will have a good life, and they will treat their children equally, so in this case, why do you want Yan Guogong to come back?

And at such an age, they don't want to have any more children.

Even Su Qiaohui, who had competed with Meng Xiaoniang for favor in the past, thought so, she felt that Yan Guogong was not as reliable as his wife. At the beginning, Yan Guogong didn't ask a few words, and he didn't treat Meng Xiaoniang well, but his wife took care of her, and now he still gives her a place to stay.

Yu Xiaoniang is a concubine, Meng Xiaoniang, who used to be the most top-notch and most fond of pet, is gone, and these people all listen to Shen's words, and they won't open their mouths before Shen speaks. Some people even lowered their heads, thinking about the pattern on the skirt.

Several young men stood in rows, even Yan Mingyun and them, and only the eldest Yan Mingqiao sat next to Shen.

Everyone didn't speak, but Shen Shi spoke: "Grandpa has been in Xiaoyang for two years, don't you want to miss Mingyuan and them?" Talk to them. ”

"Mingyuan, you also tell your father, how is your homework?"

With a faint smile on Shen's face, Yan Mingyuan immediately took a step forward.

Yan Mingyuan said that his homework is not bad, he is ten years old this year, and Mr. praised him. It's just that Yan Guogong doesn't understand these now, and he can't understand it very well.

The two younger daughters, although they were not timid, also looked at Yan Guogong curiously. One of them was Meng Xiaoniang's child in the past, and Yan Guogong still liked Ming Yun very much at that time, but when Yan Guogong went to Xiaoyang, Ming Yun was still young, after all, he was filial piety at the beginning, and not everyone went.

Now like a stranger, he didn't come to call his father.

For a while, Yan Guogong had mixed feelings in his heart, "Okay, okay, you have done your homework well, you are self-motivated, and your mother has taught you well." ”

Yan Mingyuan said: "Mother often teaches her children to work hard and love their brothers and sisters. ”

Yan Mingyuan is Yu Xiaoniang's son, Yu Xiaoniang said: "In the days when the grandfather is not in the house, the big and small things are handled by the lady, and the five girls will also help some." It's just us, we don't do anything, we just sit back and enjoy it. ”

Yan Guogong felt that Yu Xiaoniang had something to say in this, as if she was ordering him. And Mingyuan said that he loves brothers, does this mean who doesn't love brothers?

It was Shen who shook his head, "Grandpa, don't listen to Yu Xiaoniang's nonsense, where is it, the affairs of the house in the past two years have been handled by Ming Qiao, and then Xin Yuan and Jing Shu have also helped a lot, I just read in the house, I didn't bother much, I was about to get sick." But they did a good job, and after the grandfather freshened up, he would have to go around the house to know. ”

Yan Guogong took a deep breath in his heart and said, "Indeed, after a long journey, I am indeed tired, let's rest first." Let's have a meal together in the evening, and the family is reunited. ”

If you say that before he came back, Yan Guogong's heart was like a pot of charcoal, thinking that the children would revolve around him, and the whole house would listen to him, but now the fire has been extinguished.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the Shen family's mention of Chengjue's matter to talk about letting Yan Mingze come back, but the Shen family didn't mention it, if he mentioned it...... Naturally, it was impossible for the Shen clan to agree.

Moreover, if he mentions it first, he will naturally fall behind.

But...... If Shen didn't mention it all the time, what would he do?

And now in this situation, is there any difference between him coming back and not coming back?

At the family banquet in the evening, there was no scene of a group of people revolving around him as imagined by Yan Guogong. It is still the Shen family's Zhang Luo's family to eat, and there is Xiyi by his side, he has to take care of it, everyone talks and laughs, and they are happy.

A few concubines will talk about fashionable patterns and materials, and the Shen family will ask Xu Jingshu and Zhang Xinyuan what their two grandsons eat on weekdays, and Yan Mingqiao will do whatever the Shen family does.

Few people at this table spoke to Yan Guogong.

It was also difficult for Yan Guogong to interject his mouth, and he even thought, even if Yan Mingze really came back, would this family still have a place for him.

Will the Shen clan let Yan Mingze come back?

Before he returned to Shengjing, the Ning family told him that he should live a good life, don't hold on to this matter, no matter what, Mingxuan will accept the title, why not be happy.

caused so many troubles, and was complained about in the end, even if Yan Mingze came back, he was not as motivated as Mingxuan, but he couldn't get along with each other, so why bother.

Yan Guo said fairly: "Nian'an, I'm also back, when will I hand over the fold and let Mingxuan inherit the title." ”

Chapter 133: New Year's Pass

Since ancient times, the eldest son has inherited the family business, and the eldest son has also supported the elderly, Yan Mingxuan is filial piety and also has a good income, Yan Guogong has never thought about letting others support the elderly.

Yan Guogong is rarely smart, his mother is right, he will still count on Yan Mingxuan to support his old age in the future, why embarrass things now, and make no one happy. Since Yan Mingxuan is allowed to inherit the title, then he will be happy.

He had seen how the Shen family treated the old prince and the old lady, and he was very filial. Filial piety is good, but it is filial piety to give good food and drink, and it is filial piety to care about children and grandchildren.

Ming Xuan and Ming Ye both grew up, and they both married daughters-in-law, and these two daughters-in-law listened to the Shen family at a glance. Besides, Mingyu and Mingqiao's marriage is good. For the rest of his life, he has to rely on his sons and daughters to upset them, and he has no hope for the rest of his life.

Yan Guogong was really afraid, afraid that after he asked Yan Mingze to return to the Yan Guogong Mansion, the Shen family would be unhappy, and his situation in this mansion would be even more embarrassing than now. These concubines don't seem to be his, they belong to the Shen family.

Seeing Yu Xiaoniang and Su Qiaohui, surrounding the Shen family, no one paid attention to him.

Ming Ze went to the county seat to take up his post, and he couldn't come back for a while, no matter what he did. Yan Guogong felt that he couldn't take care of it, his situation was not very good, and no one in the house was willing to take care of him, how could he still have the leisure to take care of Yan Mingze.

That's why Yan Guogong would mention Yan Mingxuan's inheritance to the Shen family in front of the concubines and children in the house.

It was also for the Shen family to go down the stairs, he thought that the Shen family could at least be a little happier, but who knew that the Shen family smiled.

Yan Guogong knows the difference between Shen's smile on his face and his heart, just like Mingyu Mingxuan is married, and his smile is different from now.

He was beating a drum in his heart, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen said: "Mingxuan is not in Shengjing now, and Grandpa has just come back, so he has to rest for a few days, so he doesn't have to be busy with this matter first." Let's eat, I see that my grandfather hasn't eaten much, but the food is not appetizing? If the dish is not delicious, let the people below change it. ”

Where is the food unappetizing, in the past few years in Xiaoyang, Yan Guogong has not been very hungry.

Later, he mostly accompanied Ning's food, Ning's taste was light, and Xiaoyang's food was not as delicious as Shengjing's, and there were not so many fancy things. What's more, Xiao Yang's Yan family is in the hands of his brother and daughter-in-law, and it is not as rich as the Yan Guo Mansion, so Yan Guo Gong is embarrassed to make all kinds of messy requests.

If it was usual, I would definitely eat and drink well, but I had something on my mind today, so I didn't care about eating.

"It'll be fine after a while...... It's not in a hurry, but I'm rushing back here for this matter, you can rest assured, Mingxuan has really grown, haha. Yan Guogong said with a dry smile.

But how could the Shen family not see that when he first returned to the Yan Guo Mansion, Yan Guo Gong didn't say these words, and his face was not like now. Now I just see my position at home, so I want to please again.

However, the Shen family didn't care what he was thinking, it was good if his son could inherit the title smoothly, and he would care about doing so much.

Shen Shi said something about the scene, "It's right that he is motivated by himself, but he also has the credit of Jingshu's persuasion on the side." Mingxuan's ability to earn fame is inseparable from everyone in the family, and of course he also has the credit of his grandfather. ”

Yan Mingqiao lowered her head, she felt that she was a little unfilial to her father, otherwise she wouldn't want to laugh at such a time.

But the mother was right, because the father was kind to them. Even if the father didn't take care of them much, but the grace of life is here, without the father, there will be no them, so naturally there is a credit.

Yan Guogong took a bite of food and said ashamedly: "Madame, what I said, I am filial piety in Xiaoyang, how can I help." This house is still thanks to Mrs. and these children, so it can be so orderly, I salute Mrs. ”

In front of so many people, the Shen family would not fail to give Yan Guogong face, she took a sip of wine, and then persuaded Yan Guogong to eat quickly, otherwise the food would be cold for a while.

I don't know if it's Yan Guogong's delusion, but I always feel that after saying these words, Shen's face is a little better for him. There are also Yu Xiaoniang, too, when they see Shen picking vegetables for him, they will come over to cloth vegetables, and they keep saying that he went to Xiaoyang to work hard, and this time Yan Guogong had a few bites of food.

After the family banquet, Yu Xiaoniang and the others went back to their respective courtyards, and Xu Jingshu and Zhang Xinyuan also went back with their children.

Shen stayed with Yan Mingqiao and cleaned up together, and did not rush back to the main courtyard.

She said a few words to Yan Mingqiao, "You are still young, and Gu Yan's thoughts are also on you, so I think it's good, but you have to be careful about everything." ”

"Your father used to be pretty good, but for some reason, it slowly became like this." Shen said, "Your brothers and sisters are all married, and now you are the only one left." Originally, I thought that time passed slowly, but seeing that your father is back, the New Year will be celebrated in a month, and I think that in more than a year, you will also get married. ”

That's how the days passed.

Shen just sighed, he thought that the Yanguo Guild would be struggling with his temperament for a few days, but who knew that it was less than a day before he changed his mind. She naturally hopes that her daughter will have a happy marriage after she gets married, but all men in the world are like this.

It's better to have more eyes than no heart.

"Business still has to be done, you have to be busy with your own affairs, don't focus on Gu Yan."

Life is lived by oneself, this is the only thing that Shen, a mother, can advise.

Yan Mingqiao nodded obediently, in fact, she felt that her mother was the most difficult, and she had to worry about this and that. Now that she sees Xiyi, she thinks of herself. Xiyi is six years old this year, and she was also the same age when she came to the main hospital.

Now that she has grown so big, just like her mother said, in a little more than a year and a half, she will get married.

However, before she gets married, the eldest brother can inherit the title, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law can be filial to their mother, as well as Xiyi and Brother Yan, they can make her mother happy, and she can rest assured even if she gets married.
