After hearing the words, everyone looked at the door. The person who came was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing a white brocade gown, and his dark hair was fixed with a white jade hairpin. He had a handsome appearance, a slender figure, a tall and handsome figure, and revealed He has a gentle temperament and is a jade-like young man.
But the words coming out of his mouth were as sharp as a sword and full of sarcasm.
General Shen split up his family before he died. Although they both share the surname Shen, strictly speaking, the General's Mansion and the second wife of the Shen family have long been two families.
This young man in white is Shen Qiaoqi's second brother and the legitimate second son of the General's Mansion. His name is Shen Qiaoqi.
I saw him coming slowly. He first stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Mrs. Shen. When he raised his head, he smiled at Shen Qiaochen, then walked to the first chair on the right and sat down. Slowly, he picked up the blue and white tea cup with longevity characters on hand, put it to his lips, dipped it in it, and then put it down with a frown.
Upon seeing this, Liu Su on the side immediately stepped forward to change the tea. After some effort, Shen Qiaoqi tasted the Lushan clouds in the tea cup before putting down the tea cup with satisfaction.
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she fell back. She had straightened her body and waited for Shen Qiaoqi to give her a gift so that she could scold him. Who knew that after Shen Qiaoqi gave Mrs. Shen a gift, he went straight Ignoring myself, I sat down directly.
Then he darkened his face and said calmly: "The second young master is really majestic. He is worthy of being the youngest number one scholar in the Dajin Dynasty. You are so disrespectful and disobedient to your elders. If your majesty finds out, he will definitely punish you." For you!"
Shen Qiaoqi flicked his sleeves and said casually: "We can't guess His Majesty's thoughts. Could it be that Second Aunt actually knows about it? If Second Uncle knew that Second Aunt was so 'understanding', I wonder what he would think... …”
Then he looked at the door and smiled slowly.
"What do you think, second uncle?"
Mrs. Wang looked at the figure at the door. The man was wearing a light blue plain Hangzhou silk robe. He had been standing there for an unknown amount of time.
He walked forward slowly, stared at Mrs. Wang coldly, and then bowed his head to Mrs. Shen. After all, he was an elder. Seeing this, Shen Qiao also stood up and called her second uncle.
Shen Congwu nodded and said warmly: "Xiao Qiao looks good, but is he okay?"
"Thank you, uncle, for caring about me. My niece is doing much better." Shen Qiao said with a slight smile.
Seeing that Shen Congwu didn't mention the topic just now, Shen Qiaoqi just smiled and said nothing more.
But there are always people who are not so sensible.
"Dad, you don't know that today my grandmother went to the palace to ask for medicine for the fourth sister, but the fourth sister looks very well, so why does the palace need special medicine?" Shen Qiaojia said in a weird way, and stared at her jealously. Looking at Shen Qiaochen who was nestling next to Mrs. Shen, she twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand fiercely.
Hearing Shen Qiaojia's words, Ms. Wang immediately regained her energy. They came here today not really to visit Shen Qiaojia. Everyone knows that Queen Mother Lin and Mrs. Shen have always been close to each other.
Every time Mrs. Shen entered the palace, she would bring rewards from the palace with her when she returned home. Thinking of those precious objects, Wang's heart felt hot.
At the same time, more dissatisfaction arose. They were all members of the Shen family. Why did every good thing from the palace go directly into the eldest family's pocket? The old lady really favored the eldest daughter-in-law.
Looking at the jealous faces of the second wife's mother and daughter, Shen Qiaochen knew their little thoughts without even thinking.
She curled her eyes, "You want it, but I won't give it to you."
Her sly smile happened to be caught by Shen Qiaoqi who turned around. Seeing her sister's unusual expression, Shen Qiaoqi raised his eyebrows, which earned a sweet smile from Shen Qiaoqi. But where Shen Qiaoqi couldn't see it, the smile quickly turned bitter.
Second brother... In his past life and this life, Shen Qiaoqi was an outlier in the Shen family. It's not that he is not outstanding, on the contrary, he became famous at a young age and became the youngest number one scholar in the Jin Dynasty in a century at the age of fifteen. He is handsome, handsome and gentle. He is the boudoir dream of countless ladies in the capital.
It's just that the Shen family is full of military generals. The eldest son Shen Qiaoan has been with the army since he was a child. He has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and is now a fourth-grade general. Even Shen Qiaoran has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, and he can be said to be both civilized and military.
There is only one Shen Qiaoqi who is a pure scholar.
But Shen Qiaochen knew that this second brother, who was talented but powerless, was as decisive as his father in killing.
Shen Qiaochen closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them, his eyes were filled with innocence again.
"Grandma, my granddaughter passed by Jinyun Pavilion today and specially asked Zifu to queue up and bought your favorite osmanthus chestnut powder cake and green plum soup. It's just that chestnuts are not easy to digest, so you can only eat a little bit at a time~" He gestured with his fingers.
Seeing her granddaughter's cute look, Mrs. Shen's originally unhappy expression immediately softened and she nodded with a smile. At the same time, he became even more impatient to deal with the mother and daughter of the second wife.
"Okay, it's getting late. You guys from the second family should go back early. I won't leave you here until Xiao Qiao is well." Facing everyone in the second room, Mrs. Shen regained her dignity and said calmly.
"Mother..." Wang spoke unwillingly, but was interrupted by Shen Congwu.
"Yes, mother." He turned around and glared at Mr. Wang fiercely, and continued: "Mother, we will go back first. My son will come to greet you another day. "
Then he turned to Shen Qiaoqi's three siblings and said earnestly: "Qiao Qi, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are not at home. You are the pillar of the house. You must take good care of your grandmother and younger siblings." He looked like an elder. After saying that, he left with the reluctant Wang mother and daughter.
Looking at their backs, Shen Qiaoran sneered disdainfully, and then said with a playful smile: "Grandma, it's time for dinner. I'm already hungry."
Mrs. Shen looked at her little grandson who looked like a monkey, and laughed and scolded: "You still dare to cry out that you are hungry. I took Xiao Qiao out today without asking you to settle the account, and you dare to leave your sister alone outside. If you get out of here, What's the matter, let's see if I don't break your legs." He said, raising his hand to hit him.
Shen Qiaoran screamed, and when he saw the old man Shen Qiaoqi was sitting aside watching the show, he immediately flew towards him, "Second brother, please say something quickly, you obviously agreed today." Then the two of them Make a fuss.
Looking at the happy scene in front of him, Shen Qiaochen finally felt that the dust had settled.
It wasn't until she returned to Yilan Courtyard after dinner and was lying on the bed that she suddenly realized that her aunt and cousin Bai Xiaonian had not appeared from beginning to end today.
This is interesting, but also correct. The Bai family's uncle passed away due to illness last year, and the aunt took her cousin Bai Xiaonian to live in the Shen Mansion. It was said that they were seeking relatives, but I had never heard of an aunt seeking refuge with her younger sister and brother-in-law, but the old lady of the Shen family was also Bai Lin's aunt, so it made sense.
It's just that on today's occasion, it would be inappropriate for them to be present.
The mother and daughter are really good-natured, but like foxes, sooner or later their tail will show up.
Let's take our time.
