Chapter 05: Shen Mansion (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Shen Lingxi began to think that monks like Lian Niang and Lin Feng didn't need to eat, but now it seems that eating can also replenish physical strength for monks.
After dinner, I rested at the inn for another night.
Early in the morning, Shen Ziyan pulled Lingxi out of the inn, and after walking for a long time, she came to the door of a mansion that covered a huge area.
On the gate of the magnificent mansion, there is a plaque with the words Shen Mansion in gild.
There was a guard at the gate of the Shen Mansion, and when he saw someone coming forward, he subconsciously wanted to go up to stop him.
"Who...... This is the Shen Mansion, and people who have nothing to do with it can't go through the main gate. If you're looking for someone, go to the side door......"
Seeing that Shen Ziyan had already stepped on the steps of the main gate of the Shen Mansion with Lingxi, the family member on duty hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. If it weren't for the fact that the woman and the child were dressed quite luxuriously, the family would have wanted to drive them away with sticks in their hands.
was blocked by the family, Shen Ziyan was very unhappy, and said coldly: "You don't know me?"
"Why do I want to know you, this is the Shen Mansion, I don't care who you are, only the eldest master, the second master, the third master and distinguished guests can walk through this main gate. Hum...... Don't tell me, your mother and son are honored guests, haha......"
The leader of the Ding family looked at Shen Ziyan and Lingxi with disdain, no matter how you look at this mother and son, they are not big people, not to mention that he has seen all the dignitaries and dignitaries in Runan, and he has no impression of this mother and son at all, so he has more confidence in his heart.
"Hmph...... I see, it's really when I'm dead!You dog, haven't you heard that there is a third lady in this mansion?" Shen Ziyan was a little angry, she couldn't tolerate that her ranking in this family was forgotten.
"Third Miss, what Third Miss...... Where did the third miss come from......" The head of the family looked disdainful, he had been on an errand in the Shen Mansion for a few years, and he had never heard that there was a third miss in the house, and those concubines were not qualified to be called Miss Master in this Shen Mansion, let alone the ranking of the third miss.
I'm afraid that this family is new for a few years, and it seems that he doesn't know the old things of this Shen Mansion. Shen Ziyan didn't want to continue talking nonsense with a watchdog, and of course she had to go to the front gate openly when she went back to her home, so she didn't plan to ignore the family who was blocking the way, but just warned with her eyes, and pulled Lingxi straight to the door.
The family member was in a hurry, and hurriedly beckoned the rest of the family members on duty to drive away by force.
"The village woman who doesn't have long eyes, the Shen Mansion is also rushing in, I think she is impatient. Brothers, let me know that not everyone can break into the Shen Mansion. The leader of the family knew that the person who came was not good, so he decisively called for help.
Hearing the greeting of the team leader, the family members at the door rushed up with sticks in their hands.
These family members are all façade-gaunts, most of them are ordinary people who have not cultivated, and the leader is just a guy who has just been in the Qi refining stage.
rushed over with an ordinary stick, Shen Ziyan really didn't pay attention to it, and said coldly: "I don't know who is impatient, just beat you down, Miss Ben wants to see which house you are raising dogs......"
Mobilizing spiritual power, Shen Ziyan quickly condensed a small fireball in her palm, and when these family members rushed in front of her, as soon as she flipped her palm, the fireball burst open.
"Bang ......"
With a loud bang, the sticks flew upside down, breaking into several sections and burning several holes in their clothes.
Of course, Shen Ziyan kept her hand, but with just this move, the family in front of her lay on the ground, covering the pain with their hands and wailing.
This loud noise at the gate of the Shen Mansion attracted Steward Liu in the Mansion, Steward Liu is the old man of the Shen Mansion, who has served the Shen family in the Shen Mansion for decades.
Hearing the movement, Steward Liu hurriedly ran out to see what was going on, thinking that there would be no strong man in this Runan City who would dare to come to Shen Mansion to make trouble.
"What's going on, what's going on......"
As soon as Steward Liu ran out, he saw the family lying on the ground, and raised his eyes to look at Shen Ziyan with a calm face.
At first, Steward Liu wanted to step forward to give Shen Ziyan a theory, but after taking two steps, he screamed in surprise when he saw Shen Ziyan's appearance.
"Three...... Miss Sansan......"
Shen Ziyan raised her eyes and looked at the person, and nodded politely: "Oh, Steward Liu...... Are you still working in the big house?"
Steward Liu took two steps closer, rubbed his eyes that were a little old, and then said unbelievably happily: "It's really the third lady...... The third miss is back, the third miss is back......" After making sure that he was not mistaken, he shouted excitedly.
He turned to the lying house and yelled, "A bunch of fools, get up quickly." Hurry up and inform the eldest master, and just say...... Let's just say that the third lady is back. Hurry up, go quickly!"
Steward Liu saw that those family members were not in danger of life, but only some skin injuries, so he kicked the team leader who was still pretending to be dead, and asked him to hurry up and inform the current patriarch of the Shen Mansion, Master Shen.
The current eldest lord of the Shen Mansion is Shen Aotian, the eldest son of the big house, and after the death of the older generation of the Shen family, he smoothly took over the position of patriarch.
The older generation of the Shen family has three brothers, and they have never been separated, but they have built three independent courtyards in the huge Shen Mansion to live in, and the descendants of the Shen family divide this into a large house, a second room, and a third room on weekdays.
The Shen family has a big business, and it is one of the best Xiuzhen families in Runan City. Together with the Li family in the east of the city and the Zhang family in the west of the city, it is known as the three wealthy families in Runan.
Shen Ziyan's father was the head of the second house, and his official position was also the highest in the Shen family at that time.
It's a pity that Shen Ziyan's father unfortunately fell in a foreign war of the Feng Kingdom in his early years. And there was only one daughter under Shen Ziyan's knees, and since then, the second room of the Shen family has declined, and soon Shen Ziyan's mother also died of depression.
Shen Ziyan was unwilling to obey the marriage arranged by the patriarch, so she eloped with Lin Feng, the boy next door who was a childhood sweetheart.
Shen Ziyan has not returned to the Shen family once in these years, and the Shen family has also sent people to look for a long time, but in the end there is no news, and in the end there is no choice but to give up.
Since then, the courtyard of the second room of the Shen family has been vacant, and it is only during the New Year's holidays that someone will come over to clean it.
Now the eldest brother of the Dafang family, Shen Aotian, inherits the position of patriarch, which is also expected in Shen Ziyan's opinion.
Holding Lingxi's hand, Shen Ziyan walked into the back house of the Shen family with Steward Liu.
Walking on the familiar and unfamiliar courtyard corridor, Shen Ziyan was in a trance for a while. For more than 20 years, it seems that not much has changed here, but the cherry tree planted by himself under the corridor has grown tall and stout.
Turning the corridor, Shen Ziyan saw a handsome middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume walking quickly.
"Third sister...... Third Sister ...... It's really you back, my eldest brother and second brother and I have been looking for you for many years. Where have you been all these years, it really makes my brother miss me so much!"
Shen Ziyan stopped and looked at the man who came quickly with a look of surprise on his face.
"Oh! It turned out to be Brother Feng, I think you are the only one in this family who really misses my sister and me. Forget it about the eldest brother and the second brother......"
The person who came was Shen Aofeng, the eldest son of Sanfang, and now he is the head of Sanfang, and he also has a lovely daughter under his knees, but he is only five years old.
"Is this the third aunt? The third aunt is so beautiful...... Hey, is this little brother the son of the third aunt? Father, is this little brother Yun'er's brother?"
A little girl suddenly ran out from behind Shen Aofeng, jumping up and down very cute.
Shen Ziyan touched the little girl's head lovingly, and pulled Lingxi to the little girl.
"This is your third aunt's son, named Shen Lingxi. Yes, he has my last name...... In the future, you can call him Brother Lingxi. What's your name?"
The little girl looked back at her smiling father, and then said loudly, "My name is Shen Yun'er, and I am my father's daughter...... Brother Lingxi is good!"
The little girl felt that she had another brother, and she was very happy, and kept circling around Lingxi.
Shen Lingxi has been looking curiously since he entered this Shen Mansion, knowing that this place is most likely the place where he will live in the future, and the environment is much better than he imagined. At this time, there was a cute little girl calling her brother around, and Lingxi felt that it was still good to live here all the time.
