Shen Qingrong returned to Beijing this time to save his relatives, just with the mentality of raising his eyebrows and watching Jiang Shu's jokes by the way.

One house and two wives is simply a great humiliation.

"Isn't the Hou Mansion run by the sister-in-law? Why did you change to a mother?" Shen Qingrong asked Shen's mother in confusion.

Mother Shen glanced at Lu Mingke, and said with a smile: "This matter is a long story, I will talk to you in detail when I have time." ”

Lu Mingke lowered his head and drank tea only because he couldn't hear it, which gave the Hou Mansion enough face.

Shen Qingrong also knew the importance of proportion, but he was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but didn't continue to ask.

She turned to look at Shen Changze and said, "I heard that the eldest brother brought a sister-in-law back from the border pass, why didn't you see it?"

I only saw Yan Yang and Yan Huan's two children.

Xu was afraid of life, Yan Yang Yan Huan stood quietly behind the old man Shen Fu, and looked at Shen Qingrong's family of three curiously.

"She was pregnant, and she was a little unwell, so I didn't let her come over, and I would call her for dinner in the evening." Shen Changze was concise and to the point.

Shen Qingrong expressed his understanding when he heard this, and congratulated: "It's really good that the Hou Mansion is going to import Ding again." ”

"Yes, Ling Yi is also pregnant, and the Hou Mansion will be lively in the future." Old Madam Shen's old face was pleased.

"Who is Lingyi?" Shen Qingrong asked curiously.

"It's my concubine." In front of Lu Mingke, Shen Changze was a little embarrassed.

Shen Qingrong didn't notice it, his eyes turned and he said excitedly: "Joy and joy, the Hou Mansion is the three joys." ”

Several people were stunned, and Shen's mother was puzzled: "Where do you come to Sanxi?"

Shen Qingrong walked up to Old Madam Shen and said affectionately: "Next month is my grandmother's seventieth birthday, and it coincides with the return of my eldest brother, shouldn't the Hou Mansion hold a big banquet?"

Shen Mu and the others looked at each other when they heard this.

"Grandmother has worked hard for the Hou Mansion all her life, and the Hou Mansion has not had a banquet for a long time, so she should indeed hold a birthday banquet for her grandmother." Shen Changze agreed.

The old lady Shen listened to the warmth in her heart, and she felt that she didn't hurt these two grandchildren in vain.

"Then the matter is settled." Shen Qingrong looked forward to it with a smile on his face.

On the way back to Beijing, she thought about it, and she must let the girl in Beijing see how good she is now.

Back then, she admired that person, and all the ladies laughed at her for her delusional thinking. Later, she married Pingyang, and they laughed at her for marrying to a remote place, and there was no such person as Shen Qingrong in Beijing from then on.

Now that she is back, she must let the people who laughed at her back then see her scenery and slap them in the face.

Even if she returned to Pingyang after saving her relatives, she would also leave her words and beautiful talks in Shangjing.

"Organizing a birthday banquet is not a trivial matter, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it alone." Mother Shen looked at Jiang Shu, expecting her to be able to come forward in general.

Holding a birthday banquet not only has to be busy, but also spends a lot of money, and Shen's mother is really distressed.

If it was in the past, Jiang Shu would inevitably contribute and pay. But now, she just can't understand and can't see, and leisurely tastes the West Lake Longjing.

Shen Qingrong doesn't like to drink this tea, but Jiang Shu thinks it's very smooth.

"I'm here to help my mother organise it, and I'll definitely make my grandmother's birthday banquet grand and lively." Shen Qingrong took the initiative to ask for help, eager to try.

Over the years, she has been in the Lu family, and she has studied housekeeping with her mother-in-law for a few years, but she has not really practiced it.

didn't expect Shen Qingrong to say this, and several people in the hall were surprised.

Lu Mingke hurriedly made up for it: "There are two sisters-in-law in the Hou Mansion, both of whom are shrewd and capable, so where can you bother." It is not easy for you to go back to Beijing Province to talk to your family. ”

Shen Qingrong is married, and there is an eldest sister-in-law in the house, where is the need for her to come out.

Furthermore, it is taboo for a foreign-married woman to meddle in her mother's family affairs.

If this spreads, the Shen and Lu families will be scolded for not having family education rules.

Lu Mingke didn't understand how Shen Qingrong, who was sensible and reasonable in Pingyang, was like having no brains when he returned to Beijing.

"Uncle is right, you have time to talk to my old woman, I don't know when I will come back next time, your mother and sister-in-law have the affairs of the house." Old Madam Shen also said.

Shen's mother also came back to her senses at this time, and kept giving Shen Qingrong a look.

Shen Qingrong stomped his feet in annoyance, and reluctantly returned to his position and sat down.

Jiang Shu was tasting tea from beginning to end, as if today's tea was exceptionally delicious, and Shen Qingrong was angry.

This calmness that is incomparable to ordinary people made Lu Mingke take a look at it more and admire it.

Seeing that Jiang Shu didn't speak, Shen's mother had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "Jin Chu's body is inconvenient, so this birthday banquet will be organized by Shu'er and me." ”

Although Jiang Shu was unwilling, he couldn't shirk it.

The matter was settled, Shen Qingrong's family returned to Huaqing Courtyard for resettlement, and Jiang Shu and Shen Changze were left by Shen's mother to discuss matters.

"Shu'er, in the past few years, you have been in charge of the Hou Mansion properly and thoughtfully, and you are also very handy in organizing the banquet, and this birthday banquet is also in your full control, and my mother believes in you."

Mother Shen said a word, wanting to throw all the burden to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shuxiu raised his eyebrows lightly and said slowly: "Although I have been in charge of the family for a few years, I have only organized two banquets, and it was only because my mother gave advice that I didn't embarrass the Hou Mansion. ”

"This birthday banquet is of great significance, the slightest mistake will damage the face of the Hou Mansion, I am not experienced enough to take on the responsibility alone, or my mother presides, I will assist from the side."

Mother Shen was about to speak, Jiang Shu added another sentence: "Besides, my legs are not good, and I am afraid that I will not be able to support it." ”

Jiang Shu's words were reasonable, Shen's mother opened her mouth, and she was blocked and had nothing to say.

Mother Shen looked at Old Madam Shen, expecting her to help her say something.

But Old Madam Shen was drinking medicine and didn't pay attention to it at all.

Although Old Madam Shen is old, her mind is very clear.

It's okay if it's a side matter, but this time it's a birthday banquet for her, and she can only listen to everything, and it's inconvenient to speak.

Mother Shen was depressed, pinched her hands and said stubbornly: "It costs a lot to grandly operate, but the treasury is empty, Shu'er, you know better than anyone else, this money is ......"

"Mother don't have to worry about the money." Jiang Shu said.

Shen's mother was overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile on her face: "I know that Shu'er is the most generous and filial. ”

Knowing that Shen's mother had misunderstood, Jiang Shu said leisurely: "The Hou Mansion Banquet, the people who came to the banquet are all dignitaries in Beijing, and the birthday gifts given must be very valuable. If there is a shortage of money in the house after the banquet, you can pick some birthday gifts and sell them. ”

"How can this work!" Shen's mother immediately retorted.

If people knew that the Hou Mansion lived by selling birthday gifts, wouldn't they laugh off their big teeth.

Jiang Shu frowned, and his face was embarrassed: "Then I will turn the birthday gift for my grandmother into silver for my mother?"

Jiang Shu has always been generous, and the birthday gift must be very considerable when converted into silver, which is enough to organize a birthday banquet.

Mother Shen thought this was a good idea, and looked at Old Madam Shen to show it.

After all, it is Mrs. Shen's birthday banquet, and it is also a birthday gift for Mrs. Shen, and it must be approved by her.

"I'm old now, no matter what, it's up to you." Old Madam Shen closed her eyes and covered the sadness in her eyes.

It is really sad that the dignified Hou Mansion has calculated a birthday banquet to this point.

Anyway, money is an external thing, and she won't live for many years, so let them go.
