In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the lunar new year. Master Shen took Shen Jing, prepared gifts, and drove early to the old house of the Mo family on the west side of Yongchangfang.
Shen Jing has never been here since the opening of the new year. He can still remember that at that time the roof of the house was covered with decaying weeds, and the white skin of the walls was peeling off, exposing the yellow adobe inside. The gate is also dilapidated and crumbling, making people worry that it will fall down at any time.
But when he helped his father get out of the car, he couldn't find the dilapidated scene in his memory at all only the grassy adobe wall was gone, replaced by blue bricks, black tiles and whitewashed walls; The gate is no longer there, replaced by a solemn and heavy black lacquered gate. Look at the brand-new stone hoop door frame, the stone steps are higher and larger than those of other houses.
Others can only stare blankly, because only the scholar's family is allowed to raise the gate.
There was a young man in brand new green clothes standing at the door. When he saw them, he greeted them with a big smile on his face and said: "Little Shen An wishes you two good health. I don't know the famous fairyland, but if I'm young enough to go in, then I will " Before he finished speaking, someone kicked his ass and said, "Shen An, didn't you let me drop your book bag?"
"The young master is here." Shen An covered her buttocks and turned back with a smile, "Master said, 'Our family is a scholarly family', we should be gentle as servants."
Silently rubbing his brows helplessly, he bowed respectfully to Master Shen and said, "Uncle, you are laughing."
Master Shen laughed and said: "It's okay, I think this kid is very interesting."
Shen Shen shook his head and smiled: "I still owe discipline, it will be fine after a while." Then he invited the two of them in.
When Mr. Shen entered the door, he saw a five-bay green brick house with black tiles facing south. The walls were whitewashed and clean. A row of long lattice windows is framed on the bluestone window sills, sending bright sunlight into the house.
Looking at the yard again, it is five feet square, and the ground is paved with green bricks, which are clean and spotless. Except for a tall acacia tree in the north corner, and the stone table and bench under the tree, there are no other extraneous things, and it looks extraordinarily spacious.
Mr. Shen was used to the finely crafted, compact and well-organized Jiangnan folk houses. When he suddenly saw such a grand and neat house, he felt refreshed and said hello three times.
However, Shen He, who came out to welcome him, was overjoyed. He bowed his hands to Master Shen and said with a humble smile: "Brother, it's absurd."
Just as Master Shen was about to say, 'Don't be too modest', Shen He pulled him back and said, "The front yard is full of clumsy talk. My little brother will take you to the back, that's where my heart and soul lie."
Master Shen had no choice but to smile and follow him through the Moon Gate Cave to Erjin's garden. As soon as you enter, you can see a pillar of rockery built close to the east wall. On the hillside, flowers and trees are planted. Although it is only a square inch of land, it also has natural beauty. Look at the hundreds of green bamboos planted in the garden, and the breeze blows, and the bamboo shadows are whirling. There are pebble paths in the middle, passing through the garden, plantains, pomegranates and grapes are planted all over the four corners, and there are orchids, day lilies and many bonsai dotted among them. It is indeed a very different style from the front yard.
Shen Heman smiled triumphantly and said: "These flowers and trees were transplanted from other places last month, brother, can't you tell?"
Finally, Master Shen was surprised and said: "How can it be so green?" Looking carefully, there was not a single wilted plant, and he couldn't help but secretly sighed: "The Feng Shui in this house has risen."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Following Shen He through the small bamboo grove, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw a row of houses in the second row. Under the eaves, there was a small pool that was not full of feet, with clear water and golden scales for swimming. There is a big tree beside the pool, its branches are green and its crown is like a canopy.
Under the thick shade, an Eight Immortals table and four Taishi chairs have been set up. There are two Yixing sand pots on the table, soaking Maojian and mustard slices respectively, and four extremely delicate kiln cups are placed at the four corners of the table. Among them are seven or eight small plates - respectively containing crystal dumplings, siu mai, mung bean cakes, lentil cakes, honey orange cakes, chive boxes, and spring rolls. There is also a rough envoy servant girl standing on the side.
Shen He invited Mr. Shen to take the seat, and he himself was the host. Shen Jing also sat down silently, and the maid began to make tea. After seeing the earth-shaking changes in his family, Master Shen was sincerely happy for the two of them: "Brother Yu has seen you two with his own eyes, step by step to today, it is really not easy."
Hearing this, Shen He couldn't help but think back to the time when he lived in thatched huts and borrowed attics. At that time, he didn't even have money to see a doctor, and he didn't even dare to think that he would be where he is today. He sighed and said, "Yes, the changes are really big .¡± As he spoke, the circles of his eyes turned red, and he choked up and said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that his grandparents didn¡¯t watch.¡±
Seeing that the old uncle was about to cry, Shen Jing hurriedly interrupted: "It's such a great event, we should invite more relatives and friends, so that everyone can celebrate together."
Shen Shen also nodded and smiled: "I also think it's okay to be happy, don't you?"??If the father said no, then he had no choice but to give up. "
Shen Jing wiped his eye circles, and smiled embarrassedly: "Humble words have won the leader of the two exams, and after the court exam next month, we must have a banquet to treat guests, if we do it this time, the distance between the two times is too close, it seems to be showing off gone."
Master Shen nodded approvingly and said: "Our family is a scholar's family, so we really should keep a low profile."
Shen He nodded in response, several people drank tea for a while, then Master Shen put down the teacup, looked at Shen Mo, then looked at Shen He and said: "Today I'm here, I want to ask you two for your opinion. "
The father and son nodded and smiled: "Please tell me."
Master Shen smiled, glanced at Shen Jing and said, "You should tell the story."
Shen Jing looked at Shen Mo with a smile and said: "Chao Sheng, what my father means is, do you mind having a stepmother?"
Mo Mo was drinking saliva, when he heard the words, he quickly turned his head away, and made a 'poof' sound, so as not to spray it on the table. Quickly wiped his mouth with a towel, smiled apologetically at Master Shen, then turned to stare at Shen Jing and said, "What's going on?"
Master Shen took up the conversation, and said with a chuckle: "Human relations are a big deal! This old man is going to help your father continue the string, do you want to?"
Silence said: 'Of course I don't want to. ¡¯ My father and I live in a good place, and suddenly an outsider comes in, and neither of us is willing to change it. Then he glanced sideways at his father, and saw that he was looking at himself pitifully with a worried face, and suddenly realized: "So the three of you are in collusion!"
The three of them laughed and said nothing, apparently he had hit the mark.
Silently looking at the begging Shen He, he sighed secretly in his heart: "Youdao is a man with forty-one flowers, a car, a house and money to spend. This is the true portrayal of the old man now." ¡¯ Then he sighed and said: "Let's talk about who the other party is first." In fact, ever since Shen He turned out to be a man, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
"To tell you the truth, the old uncle is looking at the second daughter of Hu Baotian's family on Chenghuangmiao Street, a decent daughter of a decent family, and I will hire you as soon as you nod."
"How old are you?" Shen Mo asked with narrowed eyes.
"You're very old." Shen He whispered.
"How big is it?"
"It will be eighteen next month." Shen He bowed his head. In this era, it is extremely rare for a woman to be sixteen or eighteen and not get married, so it makes sense for him to say so.
But silence can't stand this truth. When he heard that he was almost the same age as himself, his head buzzed, and he lowered his face for the first time and said: "You are willing to find a little wife, but I don't want to find a little mother!" Then he turned his face angrily.
Shen He blushed with embarrassment, lowered his head and refused to speak. Master Shen had no choice but to persuade him earnestly: "Zhuoyan, you are a sensible child. Think about it, your father is only thirty-six this year, so he can't be a widower for the rest of his life, right?" He then said in a persuasive way: "Besides, It is a sure thing for you to pass the Jinshi examination, and when the time comes, you can go to other places to become an official and leave your father alone at home, can you rest assured?"
Hearing Master Shen's words, he was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I also feel that I am sensible, and I can't leave my father without a companion for the rest of his life." He glanced at his old man and said, "But you should at least find someone to wait for you." Right?" One three six, one eighteen, exactly double the difference.
"What does it mean to be right?" Shen He asked cautiously.
"Widowers are right against widows." Mo Mo said unhappily: "If you find someone back, I'll admit it even if it's a fool."
Only then did Shen He raise his head and said: "We are from a scholarly family, how can we marry a widow? It just ruined the family style."
Mo Mo rolled his eyes and said: "Widowers can remarry, but widows cannot remarry. This rule is really nonsense." He rubbed his nose vigorously and said in a muffled voice: "Then look for it and see who has an old girl."
"You can't humiliate my uncle!" Shen Jing chimed in and said, "Whatever uncle wants, why should he marry someone who can't be married?"
"Don't marry a big girl with a non-feeling love?" Mo Mo folded his hands on his chest, with no expression on his face.
Shen He nodded, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "You will be a high-ranking official in the future, so I can't embarrass you?" He said with a flattering smile: "You don't need to call mother, just call me aunt. Your aunt is very good and will not treat you badly."
"It's fine if you don't treat you badly." Shen Mo waved his hands irritably and said, "Just watch and do it, I don't care." Then he stopped talking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After sitting for a while, he left the table on the pretext of looking for Xu Wei.
Looking at his back without turning his head, Shen He smiled bitterly and said again and again: "I didn't expect him to react so much, and he usually doesn't seem to be so generous."
Master Shen comforted: "Maybe I can't accept it for a while, just think about it later."
"Impossible." Shen Jing shook his head and said, "Chao Sheng is sure about the matter, and he has never changed it once, so don't expect him to change his mind."
"Then what should we do? The dowry has already been paid." Shen He said anxiously, it turned out that he was talking leisurely just now.
"Don't worry, let me think about it" Shen Jing scratched his head vigorously, and bad ideas spewed out: "Yes, find him a wife too."¡ª¡ª

After all, Shen He is an ancient man. It was inevitable and in line with the customs at that time that he made such a choice, and there is nothing wrong with it.
But Silence is not an ancient person after all, even though he has pretended to be very similar, he still won't accept it. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)I can't accept it for a while, but I think about it later. "
