Chapter 285: Family Affairs
Shen Yuange sat on the main seat, Shen Luo sat aside, Shen Mumu had to sit next to him, she knew that Shen Luo was away from home and cultivated, so she had a lot of things to ask Shen Luo, but now that her parents are on the side, it is difficult to speak.
The second lady took Shen Ci to sit beside them, her face was full of joy, and she kept looking at Shen Luo.
It was rare for Shen Luo to see Erniang's smile so sincere, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.
"Luo'er, it's a little strange to say, I only sent the letter to Jianye half a month ago, no matter how fast it is, you should have just received the letter, why did you come back today?" Shen Yuange asked.
"The child had already left Jianye a month ago and had not received a letter from his father. Shen Luo said in surprise.
"So you didn't receive the letter, so it's no wonder. Shen Yuange said with a smile.
"The father suddenly sent a letter to the child, but what is the urgent matter at home?" Shen Luo frowned slightly and asked.
"Brother Luo, it's not that there's anything urgent, but that there is a family business. Without waiting for Shen Yuange to speak, Erniang said first.
When he spoke, his eyebrows and eyes fluttered, and he seemed very happy.
When Shen Luo heard this, he felt even more confused, and asked, "What kind of family business?" Shen Ci and Mu Mu are still young, so they won't be getting married now, right?"
"It's not their business, it's yours. Erniang raised her hand and pointed at Shen Luo and said.
"My family business, Erniang, don't be joking, I went into the mountain to cultivate, where did I come from?" Shen Luo waved his hand.
"Luo'er, your second mother is not joking, it is indeed your marriage, and it is a baby kiss set since childhood, but you were disturbed by yin qi before, and your fate was worried, so I didn't think to mention it to you. Shen Yuange also said.
"Father, what the hell is going on?" Shen Luo frowned.
"Your fiancée's name is Nie Caizhu, and she is the daughter of one of your distant aunts, two years younger than you, and she is your cousin. Although your aunt is not your mother's biological sister, the relationship between the two is very good, and your marriage was also agreed upon by them together. ”
"Father, since we still have such a distant relative, why haven't we seen each other since we were children?" Shen Luo frowned slightly and asked.
He couldn't react to this sudden marriage for a while, but he subconsciously resisted in his heart.
"This is a long story, your cousin's family moved to Yunzhou many years ago, and ran a restaurant and pawn shop business there, and it is said that they have already established a foothold, and the family is quite wealthy. It was only later, after your mother died of illness, and your cousin's mother also passed away, and our two families almost cut off contact. Shen Yuange said slowly.
"Since the connection has been severed, why did you suddenly mention this marriage again?" Shen Luo asked again.
"Originally, after the two families broke off contact, neither side mentioned the performance of the contract again, so I just didn't think there was such a thing, but just half a month ago, your cousin suddenly came from Yunzhou thousands of miles away. Shen Yuange paused and said.
"Is it the Nie family who took the initiative to come to fulfill the contract?" Shen Luo said with some surprise.
"The thing is strange, it's not the chief elder of the Nie family who came, but your cousin herself, with a personal maidservant, just came to us like this. A strange look also appeared on Shen Yuange's face, and he said.
"Is there such a thing? Father asked why this Nie girl came here alone?" Shen Luo was even more puzzled in his heart, and frowned.
"Brother Luo, in fact, you don't have to worry about anything else, in short, there is a marriage contract, we can't afford to suffer, besides, you haven't seen the Miss Nie family, that posture is really hard to find in the sky, hard to find on the ground, it's really a fairy to earth. Erniang suddenly spoke, and her words were full of beautiful words.
"Brother, Sister Caizhu is really beautiful, gentle and gentle, and good to Mu Mu, if she can be Mu Mu's sister-in-law, it would be really good. Shen Mumu's eyes were crooked, and he opened his mouth to help.
"I heard that this Nie family only has one only daughter, Caizhu, so it must be offered in front of the pearl in the palm of her hand? Without waiting for Shen Luo to speak, Erniang added with a smile.
"Ahem"
Shen Yuange on the side coughed softly, and only then did she stop her words and look at Shen Luo carefully.
When Shen Luo heard this, he was silent, and only after a moment did he ask, "Since this Nie girl is in the mansion, why don't you see anyone?"
"Sister Caizhu went to Yuanzhu Temple early in the morning to make incense, and she may not come back until noon. Shen Mumu replied immediately.
Shen Luo nodded, but after all, he still didn't say anything about the marriage contract.
Although he didn't have any prejudice against the fiancée who suddenly appeared, listening to Erniang's words that seemed to ask him to climb the dragon and take advantage of the Nie family, he was a little uncomfortable in his heart after all, and even a little disgusted with this family business.
Not to mention, now that he has set foot in cultivating immortals, he really has no interest in the love of children in the world.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the hall, and Shen Yuange was about to scold, when he saw a servant of the Shen family running in from outside in a panic, and one of them tripped and fell to the ground without paying attention.
"Sir, no...... Oh no, something happened......" The man shouted hurriedly without waiting to get up.
When everyone in the hall heard this, their expressions changed.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Shen Luo stepped forward, helped him up, and asked.
The servant stared at Shen Luo's face for a while before recognizing it, and hurriedly replied: "Eldest prince, there is chaos outside the city, the people who went to Yuanzhu Temple to worship incense before were attacked by the bandits, and Miss Nie is scattered......"
"What?" Shen Yuange's expression changed suddenly when he heard this.
"Oh, what are you waiting for, hurry up and report to the official. Erniang stood up with an ugly face and said in a little panic.
"Someone has already reported to the official, and the government has also sent someone to arrest the rogue, and has also asked for support from the nearby garrison. It's just that we can't find Miss Nie......" said the servant almost with a crying voice.
"Gather everyone in the mansion and go out of the city immediately to find it!" Shen Yuange's face sank and he shouted.
"No, I'll take a look. Where is the place where you are scattered? What is Miss Nie's clothes wearing today? Tell me more about it. Shen Luo frowned and said.
When the servant heard this, he finally calmed down and talked to Shen Luo one by one.
"Father, stay at home for a while, and I'll go and see. With that, Shen Luo walked out of the hall.
"Why don't you go and prepare the horse?" Shen Yuange glared at the servant and scolded angrily.
The servant hurriedly answered, pulled his legs and ran out.
