I don’t know how long they walked after that. When they finally arrived at the main hall, Shen Fanghui followed Zhu Zanxun’s footsteps and stepped in. Then she quickly discovered that there were two male and female elders sitting on the left and right sides of the yellow pear wood Taishi chair in the hall. By.
The man was wearing a robe made of dark brown brocade fabric and a black Confucian hat. He looked to be about forty-five or sixty-six years old, with a black beard, and looked like a kindly wealthy man.
The lady sitting at the beginning on the right is completely different from the man.
The woman wore an autumn fragrance-colored coat embroidered with peony and cloud brocade, and an azure-colored horse-faced skirt with floral patterns. Although her head was also covered with jewels, people's eyes would still fall on her face unconsciously. On top of the phoenix hairpin made only of pearls and rubies.
The woman looked to be no more than twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, and she had a gorgeous face and was extremely beautiful. Even though she was already wearing more modest clothes, those clothes could not cover up the beauty between her eyebrows and her eyes. With a shrewd look in her eyes, she didn't look like a real lady, but just like someone's young lady.
Her appearance matches that of Zhu Zanxun better.
And below them, there were only a group of boys and girls of different ages sitting. These people were all dressed in rich clothes, and one could tell at a glance that they were young masters and young ladies.
They were all looking at the new sister-in-law. After all, in this big family with brothers and sisters, Zhu Zanxun was the first to get married.
After Shen Fanghui felt the gaze of others, she finally withdrew her gaze at Zhu Zanxun's prompting. Then Zhu Zanxun just shouted and bowed respectfully to the man above him, "Father." , the son came back with his daughter-in-law Huiniang."
As soon as Zhu Zanxun's words fell, Shen Fanghui immediately turned slightly in the direction of the man, and then she only whispered, "Hui Niang has met daddy."
After hearing Shen Fanghui's words, the man's face showed only a smile of relief.
"Hui Niang, how is Mrs. Lu now?" the man asked.
Shen Fanghui was taught how to speak when she was in Furong Garden, so when faced with the other party's questions, she only said softly and calmly, "My aunt is in good health, and my cousin is also thinking about you. He is here to take care of you." I arranged a dozen boxes of gifts for my father, but I didn’t expect to encounter bandits along the way. Later, in order to avoid cholera among the bandits, we lost a batch of goods near Leiyang City."
After hearing what Shen Fanghui said, the Yunzhou magistrate just asked Shen Fanghui with concern, "It seems that Miss Lu has also been tired from traveling all the way. Did you encounter any dangers on the way?"
When Shen Fanghui heard this, she just smiled slightly and said, "Dad, I'm worried. Hui Niang can only have a few surprises along the way."
After hearing Shen Fanghui's words, Magistrate Yunzhou seemed to feel relieved.
"It's good that you're okay." Magistrate Yunzhou whispered.
After dealing with the words of Magistrate Yunzhou.
Zhu Zanxun just said perfunctorily to the young stepmother on his right, "Mother."
Shen Fanghui knew that this person was probably the prefect's wife, so she immediately bowed to her and said, "Mother."
Hearing Shen Fanghui's call, the woman only showed an intimate smile.
"Good girl, you are finally back. Your father didn't know how to worry about you during this journey. Now he is looking forward to your return."
Then she smiled and waved to Shen Fanghui.
When Shen Fanghui saw the other party waving, she naturally just walked a little closer in her direction.
Then the young woman held Shen Fanghui's hands with a smile and said, "Good girl, you are such a symbol. She is good-looking and has good hands. We have a good girl like you to take care of us. She is his." Blessing."
Hearing the woman's words, Shen Fanghui immediately said, "My mother said it right. Huiniang is clumsy. I'm afraid she will have to learn the rules of the house from her mother in the future."
"There are no rules in our family. Come on, good girl, just take what I have in mind about this matter."
After saying this, the woman only motioned to the maid behind her to hand a brocade box to Shen
Fanghui.
The box was half open, and inside was a red pomegranate carved from beautiful red jade. This pomegranate only meant many children, many blessings, and a house full of gold and jade.
Looking at the jade pomegranate, Shen Fanghui also knew that this pomegranate was very valuable.
So at the moment, she just said thank you in the direction of the other party.
And when Shen Fanghui was about to follow Zhu Zanxun to get to know each other's sisters and brothers, a loud male voice suddenly came from the door.
"Father, my son is late."
Hearing this sound, everyone looked at the man in unison.
I saw that the other party was wearing a moon-white snow crane gown, with a long body, elegant appearance, and a chic posture.
When the young woman saw the young man, she only showed a tender and sweet smile.
Even if Shen Fanghui only glanced at him, she only felt a sense of fear. The other person looked like he could pull out silk threads. This is definitely not the way a stepmother would look at her stepson.
And when Shen Fanghui was frightened and turned her eyes to the young man, the young man's eyes were only looking at her intentionally or unintentionally. Z.br>
Seeing Shen Fanghui looking at him, the young man showed what seemed to be a warm smile.
But that look still made Shen Fanghui feel sick, even though he was suave and handsome. But this displeasure seems to come from deep in his bones.
And now after Shen Fanghui turned around, the young man finally turned his head and looked in the direction of Prefect Yunzhou.
"Father, the case at Cui Shaosi's house has been settled. His family will not come again."
After hearing what the other party said, Magistrate Yunzhou seemed to be somewhat satisfied and nodded.
"Yue Wu, you did a good job. Okay, let's not discuss this matter too much. Come and see your eldest brother and sister-in-law soon."
After hearing this, the young man finally turned his attention to his sickly elder brother.
"Brother, you are back." He said calmly.
Zhu Zanxun became even more embarrassed when he saw the expression on this man's face. He only said sarcastically, "Yes, I disappointed my second brother. Not only am I back, but I'm back intact."
Hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the young man just smiled fearlessly, "Brother is really good at telling jokes."
After the words fell, the man turned to look at Shen Fanghui again. His eyes meant that it was finally her turn.
He smiled slightly and said, "Is this the eldest sister-in-law? The eldest sister-in-law is really beautiful."
Hearing what the other person said and looking at the way the other person looked at her, Shen Fanghui suddenly felt that the person in front of her was really disgusting.
But she still couldn't show it too obviously in front of the other party.
Therefore, Shen Fanghui just said to the other party, "Is this the second brother? Hello, second brother."
After hearing Shen Fanghui's words, the young man then smiled and whispered, "Sister-in-law, my name is Zhu Yuewu. You can just call me Yuewu from now on. If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me. I welcome you at any time." arrival."
Hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, Shen Fanghui always felt that there seemed to be a different charm in the other person's words.
Shen Fanghui had no intention of studying the meaning at the moment.
And after sending the other party away, Shen Fanghui only looked at the others.
But at the moment, only Zhu Zanxun was staring at Zhu Yuewu with gloomy eyes, but Zhu Yuewu didn't care about Zhu Zanxun's death gaze.
After Zhu Zanxun looked at Zhu Yuewu like this for a while, he only looked at other people.
Sitting at the lower left and right sides were the sons and daughters of Yunzhou Prefect.
They lined up in a row, with the daughters only sitting on the right and the sons only sitting on the left.
The young men above the head are the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother according to their seats.
This second brother is the son of their father and his wife. The wife was a popular figure in the entertainment industry in those days. I heard that she was also the son of a certain high official in the past.
For future generations, it is a pity that their father committed a crime and was exiled here and died of illness. Women in this era have no way of living without men, and girls can only rely on their beauty to make a living from men. Although she relied on men to earn a living back then, she also had some skills, so she still had the reputation of being a young lady, and the business she did was always only spread among that group of upper-class people. That is to say, she later joined Yunzhou Magistrate, she has just become a good example of good delinquency in the true sense, and this woman is also quite ambitious. Although she is a foreigner, she was once the daughter of a high official, so in her heart she has always wanted to get her life back on track. , she wanted to walk into the Zhu family's door.
It's a pity that no matter how this person escapes, the principal's methods are not weak. In addition, the principal's family is prominent, and the most important thing is that the Yunzhou Prefect has no intention to treat an unhelpful woman from the beginning. Carry it into the main room. Therefore, the woman escaped her whole life, but was not carried into the house until her death. The second brother recognized his ancestor and returned to the sect only a few years ago after the main wife left.
The third brother is the child of his aunt. This aunt was originally the maid of the main wife. She was just a dowry maid sent to her during the trial marriage. Later, the wife of the main wife saw that she was well-behaved and sensible, and she wanted to use it. Her own maid acted as a check and balance to the woman outside, so at that time she also gave this maid the status of aunt. It's a pity that this maid is not as capable as the outside wife, so over the years, she has received very little of the master's love. All she can really rely on is relying on the main wife to live, so the aunt and his The son has always been submissive in this family.
The fourth brother was different from the others. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, but he had big ideas and was arrogant and domineering.
This boy and Zhu Zanxun were born from the same mother. Of the two sons in the main wife's family, the eldest son is a sick child and we don't know when he will die. Therefore, the main wife only placed her hope on her healthy younger son.
It's a pity that the fourth brother grew up being doted on.
