Chen Zhu was holding the book and sat in the small study room, but couldn't even read a word. Chen Jue was picked up by the eldest brother of the Zongfang, Chen Quan was picked up by the eldest brother of the fifth house, and there were people in the third house in Beijing, but it was Even the gate of the Minister's Mansion had not been visited, so naturally I would not have received news like those two families and came to pick him up and leave for New Year's Eve.
It’s not that he really wanted to leave, but that he felt embarrassed inexplicably.
Judging from the attitude of the master to treat Shenli, Shenji and others, he seemed to be familiar with each other, but why has there been no news in Songjiang, and he just thought that the second wife was still alienated from the family.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhu couldn't help but sneer.
It seems that it is a clan house. The fifth house and Chen Li both chose to conceal the closeness of the same second house, but because they were afraid that other tribesmen would also get close to the second house, so they got the favor of the second house.
The brothers in the fifth house looked like they had no intention of participating in the adoption. Their brothers were both born from the same mother, and their family was well-off. The two brothers were very prosperous and had a relationship with the second house. Even if they did not borrow the light of their heirs, they would still get close to each other. It is no longer important to have children but not children.
In the clan room, Chen Jue walked away frivolously.
But Shen Rui inexplicably came out with another teacher in the capital.
There is also Chen Bao, who was taken to the third room by the third master, but I don’t know if he came back... Thinking of this, Chen Zhu couldn’t sit still.
He then came out of the small study, walked through the front yard, and arrived at the guest room of the West Cross-yard.
Chen Qin was in a daze bored, and when she saw Chen Zhu, she hurriedly stood up.
Chen Zhu looked around and said, "Brother Bao hasn't come back yet. It's been one or two hours since he went there..."
"Isn't it? I must be overjoyed." Chen Qin said reluctantly.
The two brothers of the clan have always been "Meng Buliu, Jiao Buliu Meng", but the third master didn't know that, so he just called Chen Bao to go over, and Chen Qin couldn't force him to follow him.
Chen Zhu expressed concern and said, "Brother Bao was addicted to calligraphy and painting, but Uncle Run San was in poor health. Brother Bao was not in good condition, Uncle Run San would not say anything, and he could not make Aunt San unhappy."
Chen Qin nodded and agreed, "That's right, I'm so worried. After all, it's not my own family. If I become a 'bad guest,' it would be bad to be bored by others."
Seeing that he was just talking but not mentioning the matter of looking for someone, Chen Zhu frowned slightly, and then said, "How about we go and pick up Brother Bao?"
Chen Qin shook her head and said, "Wait a little longer. After all, we are not familiar with each other, so it is rude to walk around casually..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard something in the yard, and then a maid came in and said, "Master Qin, the third wife sent Sister Qinghe over there to pass the message."
Chen Qin heard this and said that although she didn't know which Qinghe was, she might be called her sister by the maids. She must be the proud person around the third wife, and she did not dare to neglect her. She hurriedly said, "Come in quickly."
The maid responded and then brought a beautiful maid over.
The maid is only fourteen or five years old, with a graceful figure and beautiful face. She is wearing silk on her body. She smiled at Chen Qin and said, "My maid is here to ask Young Master Qin to come over."
Chen Qin was stunned when she heard this and said, "Is there anything I have to ask for my third aunt..."
It's all time to beg for food. The third master didn't let Chen Bao come back, but why did the third wife lift herself over again?
Qinghe smiled and said, "It's our wife who wants to keep Mr. Bao for food. Thinking that Mr. Qin's side was boring, she sent her maid to invite Mr. Qin over."
There is no reason why the elders summoned him, but Chen Zhu is still here... Chen Qin wanted to ask if the third wife could have invited Chen Zhu. Chen Lin was afraid that if there was no one, Chen Zhu would not come down.
Chen Zhu was tactful and stood up and said, "Brother Qin, go quickly, don't ask Uncle Run San, Aunt San to wait for a long time, I'll go back to see Brother Lin..."
Seeing that he was not angry, Chen Qin nodded and went to the third room with Qinghe.
A little room in the backyard of the third bedroom, there was a kang table. The third master sat on the kang, sitting next to Shen Bao, and his uncle and nephew said something. The third wife sat on the other side of the kang table with a smile, listening to her husband. Talk to Chen Bao.
Chen Qin came in with the green lotus, and her eyes naturally looked for Chen Bao.
Chen Bao was no longer dressed at noon, but had already changed into a new green makeup and bullfighting velvet coat.
Although Chen Qin does not have a velvet coat, her mother has one at home. This kind of clothes does not look bloated, but warm, and is most suitable for autumn and winter clothes. A pair of velvet materials that do not have fine patterns costs three or four taels of silver. Not to mention Chen Bao wearing this makeup and bullfighting pattern.
When Chen Bao saw Chen Qin coming in, he got up and wanted to get off the kang, but was held down by the third master.
"Brother Qin, you come to sit on the kang, too." The third master called Chen Qin forward.
"Uncle Run San, Aunt San." Chen Qin sat next to the kang when she saw that the three old and her husband had already taken the lead.
Chen Qin came in and paid attention to Chen Bao's clothes. The third wife saw it and smiled and said, "Although your aunt told people to prepare new clothes with you, it was in a hurry. It would be almost the same if each person could take one or two pieces before the New Year. The clothes you often wear in the south may not be suitable for the north. My aunt is very troublesome and found your third uncle's clothes that were not on the body and asked someone to change a few for your brothers. Not only Brother Bao has them, but Brother Qin has them. If Brother Qin doesn't want them, Brother Qin doesn't have them. , I just dislike your third uncle and third aunt." After that, I asked my maid to hold a piece of clothing.
Although the temperature in the south is not as cold as the north, it is wet and cold in the south. There are only charcoal basins in the house. The clothes are straight fur and silk cotton, and the clothes are thick and warm. Although the outside of the capital is cold, there are ground dragons and fire walls in the house. Warmth is as warm as spring, and you can't wear thick clothes.
The third wife prepared a box of clothes for Shen Rui, because she knew that it was already winter after he became filial piety, and the winter clothes were prepared especially well.
But the matter of the heir was not agreed upon, and in front of the nephews of all clans, the third wife was not willing to favor one or the other, so she thought of such an idea. She asked someone to change the third master's clothes overnight and plan to distribute them to the Shen family's sons. In this way, Shen Rui I don't attract attention when I send my clothes.
The elder gave it to Chen Qin, thanked him.
Although Chen Bao was stopped by the third master and did not get off the kang, he moved the third master to Chen Qin.
Chen Qin then noticed that the third master's homely clothes were also velvet shirts, and the style was quite loose. No wonder Chen Bao could wear his body like a stiletto after it was changed.
If you look closely at the upper room of the third room, it seems to be simple to clean up, but there are gem bonsai on the Duobao grid and a double-sided embroidered kang screen on the table, which is very unique.
Although the third wife was dressed casually, she did not wear gold and silver, but the other two beaded hairpins on her head were as big as lotus seeds. Even the maids around her were all silk and silk, and they were well-decorated.
Chen Qin looked at Chen Bao next to her, wondering whether she should be happy or not.
Perhaps in the second and third small houses, the third master is weak, the third master himself is just a scholar, and the third wife's family is just a scholar, but compared with the seventh and eighth houses of the Shen family, the third master is much better. .
If Chen Bao could enter the third room of the heir, it would be a good thing.
But the only bad thing is that the third master and the eldest master and the second master are too young. Who knows if they will have biological children in the future? If they are halfway to be the heir and have a little brother below, it will be a two-sided one. Landing.
Chen Bao didn't expect Chen Qin to think so much. He was happily discussing some calligraphy and painting techniques with the third master.
I really didn't expect that the third master was the beauty picture.
Among the second and third brothers, the second master is the best, the eldest master is the most dignified, while the third master has a slightly more ordinary appearance.
However, from the third wife's beauty and the pretty maid in the room, I knew that the third master was a good person. But this lust is not the other one, otherwise the couple would not be so loving, and even a single person would not be able to accept it.
Although the third master loves Chen Bao's talent, he obviously cannot see Chen Bao's fat figure.
When the maid came up to serve the meal, the third master ordered two of the vegetarian dishes to be placed in front of Shen Bao.
Chen Bao looked at the sesame, spinach and eggs and cucumber slices in front of him, and felt that his appetite was wide open. There were fewer vegetables in winter, and even if Songjiang was better than Beijing, it was just white squids, small rapeseed, etc.
As they headed north, they found that vegetables were hard to find. They had already lost their appetites.
When I arrived in the capital for these two meals, I could see fresh green vegetables for each meal, but in front of everyone, Chen Bao couldn't pick up food in the distance.
But now that they are all in front of me, Chen Bao was happy and a little uneasy: "Thank you, Uncle San, I don't have to leave my nephew in front of me."
The third master snorted and said, "Do you think I love you? I'm going to hungry you. A good child, his eyebrows and eyes are so handsome, he was covered by a pile of compost. Otherwise, I had good eyesight and it would be really good. I can't see you're the same."
When Chen Bao heard this, he couldn't help but feel bitter: "Uncle San, my nephew has become so fat since he was a child... It's not because of food..."
The third master raised his eyebrows and said, "No matter how fat you get, you must lose weight now. Whether you are a career or a famous scholar in the future, you cannot be like this. Even if you have great talent, just go out with this stupid look. Others don't recognize it either."
Chen Qin was beside him, and now he was curious: "Uncle San, isn't Brother Bao originally like this?"
He and Chen Bao were together. Since he could remember, Chen Bao was like this meat ball.
The third master looked gloomy: "Only with my eyesight can you see that Brother Bao has lost weight." Speaking of this, he was not in a hurry to lift his chopsticks, and ordered the maid next to him: "Go to the study to get my paintings just now." The little image is coming."
The maid left and soon brought a scroll back.
Chen Bao looked shy, and the third master had already opened the scroll and showed it to Chen Qin.
The third wife also became a little curious and leaned over to see it, but she was stunned.
"This... isn't this the second brother..." Chen Qin widened her eyes and said in surprise.
After saying this, the third master couldn't help but curiously said, "Brother? Which family's children are similar to the people in the painting?"
Chen Qin blurted out just now and began to regret it.
However, after the third master asked, he could only reply: "No room is... it is the grandson of the second great-uncle and grandfather who was born in the past..."
