Chapter 305: Flesh and Flesh Reunion
Zhuang Chengrong smiled and said: "There is no way. In order to move the throne of Yongning Crown Prince, we have to give him some sweeteners. He can give up the inheritance of the third generation title for Shen Lijun, but his wife and children may not be willing to let them quarrel. Let's I'm also happy to watch the show. This hereditary has always lost his shop after passing this village. He will definitely stay in the capital for a long time in the future. I wonder what military achievements he can use to get back the hereditary reward. And this is the title of Duke of the country. , I will get it back sooner or later. Only when you stand high can you fall harder."
Shen Qiujun couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity for Brother Ke and the others, because the grudge between me and Shen Zhaoying has ruined their future."
Zhuang Chengrong said: "The title of Marquis of Yongning has not left the Shen family. Although Shen Zhaoying's lineage has been affected, Shen Zhaoning's lineage has benefited. In short, he has not taken advantage of others. If a good man does not share the land, if Your two nephews are really talented. Why can't they work as part-time officials when they go to the border? It's just a reversal of their fates."
Not to mention how Zhuang Chengrong persuaded Shen Qiujun, but that Shen Zhaoying returned directly to the palace after leaving the palace, but her mood fluctuated along the way. On the one hand, she regretted that her descendants had lost their hereditary titles, but on the other hand, she felt that she could finally serve Shen Li. You should do something to make up for his debt.
Shen Zhaoying returned to Yongninghou Mansion with ambivalence, only to find that people were unloading luggage at the door of the mansion. It turned out that Mrs. Shen had returned to the home with her daughter Zhen.
On this day, Sister Huan also returned to her parents' home. Because Shen Zhaoying went to court early in the morning, Sister Huan could not see her father. She had to talk to her grandmother to find out about her father's current situation. As she was talking, Shen Xijun also returned to her parents’ home.
Mrs. Shen was even more happy. She said that if Shen Qiujun hadn't married into the Tian family, and if Mrs. Shen and her daughter came here again, this would be a family reunion. She also asked people to invite Shen Lijun to come with her. Shen Lijun I felt desolate in my heart. I didn’t want to see the scene of dense clusters of flowers, so I naturally declined.
Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel sad for Shen Lijun. There was nothing she could do about it. The two daughters belonged to different camps. If one had a good life, one of her would inevitably fall into poverty. This was the inevitable result of a daughter marrying into the royal family.
Seeing the gloomy expression on Mrs. Shen's face, everyone knew that she was doing it for Shen Lijun, so they hurriedly said some happy things to make Mrs. Shen happy. At this moment, the disciples came to report: The eldest young lady and the second sister have returned home.
Sister Huan was so happy that she didn't bother trying to persuade Mrs. Shen. She stood up excitedly and looked outside.
Cheng Xiumei knew that mother and daughter had not seen each other for many years, so she acted like this. She smiled at Mrs. Shen and said, "Mom is very eloquent. If Cao Cao arrives, why don't the second sister and I take the juniors to greet the elder sister-in-law. "
Although Mrs. Shen had some unpleasantness with Sister-in-law Shen in the early years, after so many years, those festivals were insignificant. Besides, Sister-in-law Shen was the future wife of the Shen family, so she had to give her this honor. So Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "Okay, let's go to the front yard and call Brother Ke and the others to meet their mother together."
As for Shen Zhaoying's two aunts and concubines, Mrs. Shen thought for a while and decided that her daughter-in-law would not cause any trouble for her when she returned home for the first time, so she kept silent about them.
So Shen Xijun and Cheng Xiumei took Sister Huan, her brother, and others to the second gate to greet Sister Shen.
Sister-in-law Shen's appearance has not changed much over the years, which shows that she is living a pretty good life in the border area. However, Sister-in-law Shen originally thought that she was living a very good life in the border area, so she was very proud that her face had not aged much.
However, when I saw Shen Xijun and Cheng Xiumei, I found that they had not aged much, and their aura of wealth was more graceful than in previous years. On the contrary, because I was in the north, even though I lived in a luxurious compound, It's just that the wind and sand are stronger over there, and the skin on her face is obviously much rougher, and Sister-in-law Shen can't help but feel a little frustrated.
Shen Xijun and others hurriedly came forward with everyone to greet her. Sister Huan was so excited that she burst into tears. She took three steps at a time and walked up to see her mother.
Sister-in-law Shen looked at her children who had grown up in the blink of an eye and was filled with emotion. Everyone greeted her with greetings. Cheng Xiumei was worried that her mother-in-law would wait too long, so she smiled at Sister-in-law Shen and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go in quickly. Mother is just afraid I’ve been waiting impatiently.”
At this time, everyone realized that they had indeed been delayed at the second door for long enough, and hurriedly asked Sister Shen to go forward. Seeing that she was now being invited into the Hou Mansion like a star holding the moon, Sister Shen suddenly felt that she was in despair. Liu Liu left the house with a bad breath and stepped forward in a very comfortable mood.
But unexpectedly, a voice as clear and delicate as an oriole came: "Mother, you haven't introduced your daughter to the elders yet!"
Sister-in-law Shen couldn't help but let out an ooh and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so many years. I was only happy to see you and didn't let Zhen'er come out to greet you. It's really rude."
Everyone stopped and looked around, only to see a girl in luxurious clothes walking up to Sister-in-law Shen with a smile on her face, bowing to Shen Xijun and Cheng Xiumei, and saying softly: "Zhen'er, have you seen her before?" …”
Sister Huan had already walked up to her sister and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you and I would have to meet each other today after more than ten years. Let me introduce you to you. This is the second aunt, this is the second aunt, and this is the second aunt. It’s Brother Ke…this is Sister Yu from Second Aunt’s family…”
Sister-in-law Shen was very pleased with the intimacy between her two daughters and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
Sister Zhen, on the other hand, was introduced by her sister and bowed down to greet them one by one. She also thanked Sister Huan and saluted. Sister Huan took her hand and smiled and said, "Sisters, you and I don't have to be so polite."
Sister Zhen whispered yes when she heard this, and then she raised her head with a smile. Sister Huan had something to say, but she paused when her sister raised her head, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Not only Sister Huan, but also Shen Xijun and Cheng Xiumei were secretly surprised: this Sister Zhen looks so much like Shen Qiujun when she was young.
If Sister Huan was three or four points like Shen Qiujun back then, then Sister Zhen in front of her is sixty or seventy points similar. Of course, Shen Qiujun now is more majestic and mature, while Sister Zhen looks immature. Much younger.
Sister-in-law Shen was very proud. This daughter had earned her a lot of face when she was in the north. Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, she smiled and said: "It's strange to say that this child looks nothing like me, and she doesn't look like me." Like her father, she is more like her grandmother. I only hope that she will be half as lucky as her grandmother in the future, and I will have no regrets in life."
At first, Shen Xijun wanted to say that this niece looked more like Shen Qiujun, but when she heard Sister Shen's last words, she shut up. There were few people in the world who were as lucky as Shen Qiujun, so she smiled and invited everyone Go to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen knew that they had not seen each other for many years, so they had to exchange polite greetings, and she did not have much affection for her eldest daughter-in-law. Although she wanted to see her granddaughter as soon as possible, she could not say that she was very close to her because they had never been in contact with each other. It took a long time to wait, but there was no rush.
At this moment, seeing the crowd surrounding Sister-in-law Shen, Mrs. Shen looked at Sister-in-law Shen and nodded secretly in her heart. It seemed that the eldest daughter-in-law was doing well at the border.
Sister-in-law Shen had already come to Mrs. Shen, knelt down and said, "The unfilial daughter-in-law has seen her mother."
Mrs. Shen hurriedly asked Shen Xijun and Cheng Xiumei to come forward and help her up. Just when she was about to speak, she saw Sister Zhen standing by and was stunned: "Is this?"
Sister Yu had already walked up to Mrs. Shen with a smile, and said coquettishly: "In the past, my grandmother always said that Sister Huan is like the third aunt, so she always favored her. Now that there is a sister Zhen who is more like the third aunt, I'm afraid that in the future you will There is no place for my granddaughter in my heart."
When Sister Huan heard about it, she couldn't help but hate it and said: "What did you say? Who in this family doesn't love you? You are really getting an advantage and being good."
Hearing this, Sister Yu smiled and leaned into Mrs. Shen's arms. Mrs. Shen had come to her senses at this time and knew that it was her granddaughter Sister Zhen. She reached out and patted Sister Yu and said with a smile: "Nonsense, grandma." When have you ever shown favoritism? You are all my darlings, and I feel sorry for you all, but there is no favoritism for anyone. Even your third aunt, I have never shown favoritism to you."
Sister-in-law Shen sneered in her heart when she heard this, and glanced at Sister Yu who was stealing the spotlight from her daughter. She felt a little annoyed. Fortunately, Sister Zhen quietly pulled her sleeves, so her face did not change color.
Sister Zhen stepped forward and knelt down in front of Mrs. Shen. She smiled sweetly and said, "Zhen'er has met my grandmother."
Mrs. Shen asked Sister Zhen to come forward and took a closer look. She couldn't help but admire in her heart that this granddaughter looked so much like Shen Qiujun.
When Shen Xijun saw this, she smiled and said, "Just now, my sister-in-law said she looks like my mother, but I think Sister Yu is right. She looks more like my third sister. Is that right, mother?"
Mrs. Shen nodded when she heard this, but then shook her head and said, "No, your third sister didn't have such a bright smile when she was her age."
After hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen's smile froze. She understood what her mother-in-law meant. To be honest, although the old people who served her and her husband said that her daughter looked like Shen Qiujun, but She never thought that her daughter looked like Shen Qiujun. Her daughter was such an innocent and pure person, how could she look like Shen Qiujun.
At this time, Shen Zhaoying had already gone to the front yard to see Marquis Shen and told Marquis Shen about the experience of going to court.
