Tao Sheng quickly went through the plot in his mind, and at this time, his mind was full of the cannon fodder situation of the female supporting Shen Taosheng being hung and crushed all the way, and there was a kind of sincere rejection from instinct for following Shen Yu home into the next "confession" plot.

Su Jia also saw that Taosheng was in a bad mood, and thought that she had not come back to her senses because of the huge impact, so she opened her mouth to comfort: "Your biological parents have not been found for all these years, and they have always been your mother and your father's biggest concern before their deaths. You have been drifting away all these years, and you have not been able to do your best for your children in front of your biological parents, since Hou Ye has found you now, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and go back to see. ”

Taosheng also understood what her aunt Su Jia meant.

Anyway, the other party is really coming to the door now, and she should go back with Shen Yu to find out what kind of family her biological parents are, and she can plan as early as possible if she has any ideas in the future.

Her trajectory in the first ten years also developed according to the book, and Shen Yu also found her daughter at the node mentioned in the book.

Taosheng thought for a while, and finally responded: "Okay, I'll go back with you." ”

Although Taosheng's adoptive parents have a solid family background and do not have to worry about food and clothing, they are not a wealthy family, and they can only be regarded as the local middle and upper level.

The same goes for my aunt.

Therefore, after Taosheng got into the carriage, she found that these dignitaries were very willing to spend money on food and clothing, and the interior of the carriage was more exaggerated than she imagined, which was a complex luxury that she could not understand, and it could almost be described as magnificent.

The distance between Tongguang Lane and the Hou Mansion is not too close, and on the way to the Hou Mansion, Shen Yu continued the conversation in the Su Mansion just now, introducing the population and situation of the family in more detail, and asking her how she has been doing over the years and whether she has any difficulties.

Shen Yu is born close to Shen Ruojin in the novel, not only because of the relationship that has nurtured Shen Ruojin for more than ten years, but also because Shen Ruojin can call the pulse of this Marquis of Wenyuan, and knows how to speak to make him happy and comfortable, and because she is the companion of the princess's sister Hui'an County Lord, and married into the Lingguo Mansion, she has greater interests.

The original owner ended up in the end, and this eccentric and neglected father who has always neglected her has contributed a lot, but as long as this family owner who has absolute rights in the family can say a word, Shen Taosheng will not end up in the situation of being expelled from the house.

Tao Sheng was still thinking about the plot that might happen after entering the house, and he didn't have a good impression of this cheap father, so he inevitably showed a lack of interest in the conversation, and only picked up a few urgent brief answers.

Tao Sheng's coldness was indeed somewhat unexpected by Shen Yu.

In his opinion, such a small probability thing that is almost equivalent to a pie in the sky is a great joy for every young girl, and Taosheng should be warm and close to himself as the head of the family and father, and show more goodwill, so as to better integrate into the Hou Mansion in the future.

But Taosheng didn't show the slightest admiration for himself at all, and he didn't bother to answer questions in order to leave a good impression on himself.

This girl grew up in a small city that is not very prosperous, although the appearance looks pretty good, but after all, she is not good at talking, and she is also quite ignorant of current affairs.

Shen Yu silently drew a bar in his heart.

After all, there is indeed a big gap between the children who were not raised in their own homes and Shen Ruojin, who has been raised in the Hou Mansion all these years.

Compared with Tao Sheng, who was found by mistake after more than ten years of exile, Shen Ruojin can afford to be the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion.

= =

The Marquis of Wenyuan's Mansion has always advertised filial piety to govern the family, and Shen Yu returned home with Taosheng, and the first thing he wanted to see was Mrs. Shen, the oldest and highest status elder in the family.

Old Madam Shen got the news early in the morning, and at this time she was already waiting in Deshou Hall with a group of grandchildren.

Tao Sheng followed Shen Yu all the way to Deshou Hall, and walked forward to salute the old lady according to the rules.

After Mrs. Shen received the salute, she personally stepped down from her seat to help her up, and motioned to her mother to give her a weighty red envelope.

"Good boy, you have suffered all these years, and now that you have returned home, you no longer have to live in a fixed place like before."

Although these words sounded like the elders' concern for the juniors, Old Madam Shen's words with a high sense of superiority also instantly denied the adoptive parents' nurturing grace and aunt's acceptance of her over the years.

After Tao Sheng finished saluting, he looked up and took a serious look at the old lady.

I saw her sitting on the top in a crow gourd Fushou pattern gown, her hair was neatly combed behind her head, and she only used a simple ebony Ganoderma lucidum bamboo pattern hairpin to fix her hair bun.

Although Mrs. Shen was dressed plainly, dressed as a fasting and reciting Buddha, she spoke as kindly and easy-going as possible. But Tao Sheng, based on the image in the book and the person he saw today, concluded that this old lady was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.

Old Madam Shen saw that Taosheng was good in terms of appearance and etiquette, at least she would not lose face in the house if she took it out, and there was a little more affirmation in her eyes: "Your mother was sick last time she came back from Qin County, and she went to Zhuangzi to recuperate some time ago, and I just sent someone to send a letter to the past, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until tomorrow." ”

After that, he pointed to a few young ladies on the side and said, "These are your brothers and sisters in the house, and they will have a companion when they study and talk together in the future." ”

Tao Sheng noticed early in the morning that there were three well-dressed sons sitting on the right hand side of the old lady, and a well-dressed young lady, who should be the three brothers Shen Yue, the flower messenger in the book, and Shen Ruojin, the heroine.

The old lady deliberately skipped Shen Ruojin's identity, and Tao Sheng didn't get to the bottom of it, but just sat down with a faint bow.

Next, the old lady asked again, and Tao Sheng secretly sighed in her heart that these two people deserve to be mother and son, and even the content of the question can be the same.

Fortunately, she had already practiced with Shen Yu on the carriage, and it was more smooth to deal with it at this time than Fang Cai's absent-mindedness.

Facing Luo Taosheng, who answered like this, Shen Ruojin secretly tightened the handkerchief in his hand.

It seems that this girl is not as simple as she and her brothers imagined, and it is even very likely that she "came prepared".

Shen Ruojin originally thought that Luo Taosheng was a girl who grew up in a small family, and she had never seen much of the world, and her speech and demeanor must be indescribably childish, and she would inevitably feel nervous and cowering when she first entered the rich and noble mansion in Beijing.

But Tao Sheng obviously didn't.

She has an outstanding temperament and a grand appearance, although the clothes on her body are just ordinary materials, and her hair and makeup are also casual and simple, but she still shines when she sits there, and her body shape and facial features are pressed against herself.

Tao Sheng is not familiar with the rules of the high-ranking families in the capital, but whether she is sitting down or eating tea and snacks, she does not blindly imitate, but comes more according to her own wishes and likes. Don't deliberately cover up, don't pretend to understand, don't be humble or arrogant, and be generous, but it's a bit of everyone's demeanor.

As Taosheng came to the mansion for a longer time, Shen Ruojin became more and more nervous, but Shen Ci, the third prince who was sitting at the end, breathed a sigh of relief.

The "second sister" brought back by this father does not seem to be a shallow person, her speech is clear, her thinking is regulated, and her speech is quite orderly, although it is inferior to Ruojinduo, but it will not lose the face of their Hou Mansion, and I think that their brothers will not fall into the situation of several sons of Yongchang Hou Mansion.

After meeting and greetings, they had dinner together, the Shen family, as a century-old family, had a lot more rules than ordinary officials, and the old lady ate a "simple family banquet" for nearly an hour.

After a meal, everyone is familiar with it.

At Shen Yu's suggestion, the eldest brother Shen Yue took the lead in raising a glass to Taosheng: "Now that we are all a family, if my sister has any worries and difficulties in the future, just tell my eldest brother." ”

Tao Sheng nodded lightly: "Thank you, big brother of the Shen family." ”

Seeing that the other party's attitude is sincere, if she hadn't read the various behaviors in the book that were bent on Shen Ruojin ignoring the original owner, she would have believed it.

Shen Yue frowned visibly.

They are a family, and Tao Sheng is also his own sibling, so it stands to reason that he should call "eldest brother" or "eldest brother", rather than an alienated title like "eldest brother of the Shen family".

This sister is not as simple as they imagined.

Shen Lian, the second son of the Shen family, was not born by Mrs. Hou Luo Xin, and Tao Sheng was not a sister-in-law, so at this time, he was polite with his eldest brother Shen Yue.

Then came Shen Ci, because as a younger brother, he grew up with Shen Ruojin, and he had the deepest relationship with his sister, and facing Taosheng at this time was also the most awkward.

At this time, the atmosphere was here, and as a younger brother, he had to speak, so he simply said a few words of greeting to Taosheng, whether it was his tone of speech or body language, he revealed his life.

Next, Shen Ruojin toasted Taosheng, which was also one of the highlights of this family banquet.

Compared with the official affairs of her brothers, her attitude is the most sincere, even with a bit of flattery and humility.

"I was very happy to hear early this morning that my father had found my sister's place and was going to take her home to be reunited. In the future, everyone will live in Beijing, and they will be close to each other, and they will have to discuss with my sister for advice, and I hope that my sister will not be annoying me. ”

Although Shen Ruojin said it sincerely, everyone also felt that it was humble.

After all, she is a concubine who grew up in the Hou Mansion since she was a child, she has been enlightened since she was three years old, and she entered the boudoir at the age of seven.

"Advice is not available, but discussion is always welcome."

Tao Sheng felt that Shen Ruojin's words were very skillful.

After all, now the Shen family did not say how to announce the identities of the two, so the other party did not regard herself as the second girl Shen, but he did not want Taosheng to replace him, but he just lowered his posture politely and won the favor of the Shen family in the hall.

Sure enough, this house fighting heroine is not something that ordinary people can do.

It's just that as a fourteen-year-old girl, Shen Ruojin's mind is indeed a little heavy, and she is not the type of girl that Tao Sheng is willing to get along with more, and probably the two will not be friends in the future.

Now that it has been tossing for nearly two hours, this meeting is also coming to an end.

Old Madam Shen was obviously a little tired, and at this time she was leaning on the soft cushion, and her voice was obviously a little tired: "I have already instructed Mother Zhao to prepare the room for you, it is in the Fenglin Garden, next to Ruojin's courtyard, and you two sisters will take care of each other in the future." ”

Mother Zhao said: "When the old lady heard that the girl was coming back, she was so happy in the morning that she ordered the slave maid to take someone to clean it all night, and the clothes and bedding have been prepared, all of which are brand new, and the girl can rest when she goes back." ”

"You're still the same as ever." Old Madam Shen smiled at Mother Zhao, and said to Tao Sheng, "You go to live in first, if there is anything lacking or disliked, just send someone to tell me, a young girl, at the age of flowers, don't wronged yourself." ”

With that, he looked at Taosheng with a pair of eyes, waiting for her response.

On the way to the Marquis Wenyuan Mansion with Shen Yu, when Tao Sheng recalled the plot in the book, he still felt a little nonsense.

The real daughter Shen Taosheng is obviously the granddaughter of Mrs. Shen's relatives, the daughter of Shen Yu, and the sister of Shen Yue and Shen Ci's mother, but why do they all focus on Shen Ruojin and turn a blind eye to their original bodies?

This is clearly unconscionable.

But after coming to the Hou Mansion for half a day, Taosheng didn't think so.

Old Madam Shen was obviously closer to Shen Ruojin than several grandchildren, so the maidservant served a dish of "Golden Wind and Jade Dew", which should be a relatively rare dish at this time, and Old Madam Shen motioned to the maid beside her to give Shen Ruojin first.

The eldest brother Shen Yue has been a little nervous since he came in, not because he was nervous and didn't know how to get along with him in the future, but that his whole heart was hanging on Ruojin, for fear of seeing her aggrieved and hurt look.

Although the second brother Shen Lian is relatively low-key, most of his eyes linger on Shen Ruojin, looking at himself with strange and cold eyes, as if he is looking at a most dispensable person.

The third brother Shen Ci behaved more obviously, and he couldn't draw a line with himself immediately, for fear of saying more words to himself or showing closeness and friendliness, which would make his sister Shen Ruojin unhappy.

Shen Yu, the head of the Marquis Wenyuan Mansion, also smiled when he mentioned Shen Ruojin......

When you think about it this way, the plot written in the book is indeed very logical.

The heroine Shen Ruojin has the aura of the protagonist, and she is the heroine of the group pet in this Hou Mansion, and she Shen Taosheng is the later intruder, and she is also a cannon fodder female supporting partner who tries to take away the attention and favor of the whole family.

Taosheng sat patiently here for a long time, listened to the family talk a lot about her homecoming, the shock after knowing the truth, the difficulty of finding her many times, and the joy of finding her, but there was no process and plan for how to recognize her.

"Thank you, old lady, for bothering me." Tao Sheng said, "It's just that it's late today, so I think it's better to go back first." Just like the sister of the Shen family said, now that we all live in Beijing, it is cheapest to come and go often, and it is not too late for Taosheng to visit another day. ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Taosheng's words.

How? What does she mean by that?

I don't plan to admit my relatives and live in the Hou Mansion, but I want to go back to that small house in Tongguang Lane?

In the end, it was Shen Yu who took the lead in speaking to break the silence: "Go back? Where are you going? ”

Taosheng raised his head and met everyone's puzzled eyes: "I want to go home." ”

Everyone thought that after Tao Sheng saw this pouring wealth, he would definitely be eager to stay in the Hou Mansion to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but they didn't expect that the other party didn't want to stay at all today.

Old Madam Shen spoke again: "This is your home, your parents and elders are here, you just have to stay, you don't have to go back to the house in Tongguang Lane." ”

Tao Sheng said lightly: "In this case, then I take the liberty to ask you, in what capacity do I want to live?" ”

Old Madam Shen was speechless for a while.
