Daming female local tyrant

Shen Wan didn't talk to her mother any more, arguing about the so-called disadvantages of reconciliation and advantages of not reconciliation.

Anyway, after returning home, it's okay to take down her parents in two days at night.

Just like her mother said, if she calmed down for two more days, she would think differently. Then, if I spent a few more days with Mother Xia and persuaded her to help me, would she also change her mind?

There is no rush at this moment.

Shen Wan talked to her mother for a while, and said that she was going to visit her grandfather and grandmother, and then she would go back to rest and have dinner with her parents and younger brother in the evening.As for the matter between her and Xiao Yulang, she told her mother not to tell her father yet.

Yu Shi nodded, saying that was of course, she hoped that her daughter would change her mind in a few days so that the family would not have to worry about her.

Shen Wan resigned from her mother and came out, and when she went outside, someone called Jing Lan and Cui Zhu, and took them to the courtyard at the back.

The patriarch of the Shen family, that is, Shen Wan's grandfather Shen Xiang and his wife Li Shi lived in the courtyard behind Ronghui Hall.

There is also a plaque hanging in the main hall of this courtyard with the words Yannian Hall written on it, and the terrain of this courtyard is higher than the Ronghui Hall in front of where Shen Wan's parents live, and it is roughly the foundation of the Shen family's house. The highest is to conform to the meaning of the so-called high hall.

The building of Yannian Hall is less gorgeous than Ronghui Hall, and more solemn. However, after entering the house, you will find the low-key luxury contained in this solemnity.

There is no so-called splendor, but it has the weight of a family. The furniture in the room is all precious red sandalwood, and the utensils on display are also antiques such as bronze and porcelain.

As usual, Jing Lan and Cui Zhu were taken by the maids here in Yannian Hall to wait in the side room next to them, and waited for Shen Wan to come out after visiting her grandfather and grandmother.

They are not qualified to enter Yannian Hall yet, Shen Wan still brings in Mama Xia, An Chun and An Dong.

When they were waiting in the side room of Yannian Hall, no one poured water for them or talked with them.Probably the maids here in Yanniantang. Even the maids who do miscellaneous work and boil water are carefully selected by the Shen family to serve the old man and the old lady. The little maid who was born in the face.

Jing Lan and Cui Zhu also sensed the seriousness of the atmosphere here, and they didn't dare to speak too much. They were brought in and told to sit and wait, but they just sat still.

Shen Wan entered Yannian Hall, and she met her grandfather and grandmother in Xici Room.

Shen Xiang just said a few words to Shen Wan, then went to his study in the east, and asked Shen Wan to talk with her grandmother.

Shen Wan's grandmother, Li Shi, is over 50 years old this year. She is a wealthy person, and she looks like a kind old man at first glance.

Seeing her granddaughter returning to her natal home, Li Shi pulled her to sit with him, and asked her with a smile how long she planned to stay at her natal home this time before going back. Shen Wan said: "Granddaughter wants to stay with the old lady for a few more days."

Mrs. Li patted Shen Wan's hand and said with a smile, "That's kind, the flowers in the garden behind us are blooming very well. A few days ago, your fifth younger sister said that she would hold a flower viewing party and post a post to invite people. She also mentioned When it comes to you, I said that I must write a post for you, inviting you to come back to enjoy the flowers and write poems. That's good, she doesn't need to write a post for you, you come back, tell her to get ready quickly, and then we will have a good time Have fun."

Shen Wanxin said that she will not leave in the future, so there is no need to rush to organize the flower viewing feast.

But in her mouth, she still wanted to say to Mrs. Li: "The old lady is right."

Li went on to say that her granddaughters were only Shen Wan and Shen Jiao. After Shen Wan got married, Shen Jiao was the only one who often came to her place. She was very lonely under Cheng Huan's knee.Even though sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, and daughter-in-laws came to her to greet her and please her, she still liked the two granddaughters, Shen Wan and Shen Jiao, to accompany her.

She especially missed when Shen Wan was still in her boudoir, she would come here to accompany her every day, for most of the day.And how filial and intelligent Shen Wan was when she was young, etc. She even mentioned that when Shen Wan was born, she was the first person to hug Shen Wan...

"Hey, so many years have passed in a flash, and when I think about it, it's still like yesterday..." Li sighed.

Ever since Shen Wan married to the Xiao family, every time she went back to her mother's house to visit the old lady, she would sigh like this. Shen Wan felt that she could almost memorize what the old lady said.

But she was not bored, she still listened patiently. She knew that her grandmother was getting old, and she liked to recall the past.As the eldest granddaughter of the old lady, she was raised by the old lady, who doted on her very much.

I hope that after the old lady knows that she is going to divorce in a few days, she will be able to support her because of her love for her.

Li Shi grabbed Shen Wan's hand and babbled for at least half an hour before letting Shen Wan go.

She also heard from Shen Wan that she was going to have dinner with her parents and younger brother in the evening, so she asked her to go back and have a rest, come to her place tomorrow, and have a meal with her.

Shen Wan nodded in agreement, and then came out, and asked someone to call Jing Lan and Cui Zhu out, and followed her to the female building at the back.

Before she got married, Shen Wan lived in the Shen family's women's building behind Yannian Hall.

Because there are only two girls in the clan house, she lives on the first floor with her fifth younger sister Shen Jiao.

Shen Wan lived on the ground floor, while Shen Jiao lived upstairs.

To the north of the female building is the garden of the Shen family, separated only by a wall, the two ladies of the clan house are going to the garden very far away, open the door on the wall, and they can directly enter the garden of the Shen family.

After Shen Wan got married, the ground floor where she lived was still vacant, and the maidservant would come to clean it regularly.This is because the old lady Li and his wife Yu both believed that Shen Wan's house was usually cleaned up before she got married, and if Shen Wan came back to her natal family to visit relatives, she would not have to live in another place, and it would be most comfortable for her to live in her old place.

Therefore, after Shen Wan and her party arrived at the women's building, Xia's mother took out the key to open the door, and when she pushed the door in, the room was still tidy, but because the doors and windows had been closed for a long time, the air in the room was a bit damp.When An Chun and An Dong went to open all the windows, the air in the room was convected, and the damp smell soon faded away.The two of them went to find the incense with familiarity, and lit the incense. When the strange fragrance filled the room, the room became alive.

Even though the house was cleaned regularly and it was not dirty, Jing Lan and Cui Zhu still rolled up their sleeves to fetch water, wiped the furniture and doors and windows with handkerchiefs.This is Cui Zhu's awareness as a maidservant, as soon as she came in, she took the initiative to ask An Chun where to fetch water, and Jing Lan put down half of her basket of snacks and followed.

The ground floor of the women's building where Shen Wan lived was divided into five rooms by carved flying covers, with a hall in the middle and two rooms on each side.The two rooms on the west are bedrooms and banquet rooms, and the two rooms on the east are study rooms.Shen Wan has a lot of books, the bookshelves in the two rooms are full.In addition to the five rooms on the ground floor, there are two side rooms on the left and right.There are wing rooms on the east and west sides, the storeroom for the ladies of the main house of the Shen family, and the residence of the maids who serve them.In addition, this wing room is also a two-story building. It is estimated that when this house was built, the ancestors of the Shen family considered that if there were many girls, they would need to build enough embroidery buildings on the last floor to live in.

But in Shen Wan's generation, there were only two young ladies in the clan house, and they lived in the northernmost female building, while the embroidery buildings on both sides were unoccupied, so they were vacant.

When the old lady Li came here before, she looked around and saw the vacant embroidery buildings on both sides, she shook her head repeatedly, saying that there are too few girls in the Shen family, too few...

The old ladies of other people's families hoped to have more grandchildren, but the old lady Li wished that her son would have two more daughters, so that they could fill up the embroidered building of the clan house.

But one of her two sons was a daughter, and the wives and concubines didn't give birth to another daughter for them.

The rooms Jing Lan and Cui Zhu cleaned first were the second room and the upper room on the west side of Shen Wan. An Dong and An Chun were not idle either. They went to sort the things in the bags they brought back into the boxes and cabinets in the room. inside.Xia's mother went to find the lady in charge of the storeroom of the young ladies from the Shen family, opened the storeroom, and received clean curtains and other things.The mother-in-law in charge of the warehouse temporarily transferred two little maids to help, and replaced all the sheets, quilts, curtains and other things in Shen Wan's room.As for the teacups and other items, they were delivered to Jinglan and Cuizhu to clean and arrange them.

Everyone was busy with their work, when they suddenly heard the sound of clinking rings and footsteps coming from outside, it sounded like many people were coming.

Someone laughed coquettishly at the door and said, "When did the elder sister arrive, and you didn't send someone to pass the message?"

Shen Wan, who was sitting drinking tea in the banquet room of Xici Room, heard this, smiled, and whispered to Jing Lan who was cleaning the furniture next to her: "The most naughty girl in our family is here."

The skinniest girl?Could it be Shen Wan's cousin, the Fifth Young Lady whom I heard about in Shen's other courtyard before?

As the curtains were raised one after another, Jing Lan soon saw a girl who was about her own age, wearing a rose-red swirl dress, moon skirt of the same color, oval face, handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows, looking very delicate. A cute girl walked in.

She wears a gold bracelet inlaid with rubies on her hand, and a phoenix-tailed hairpin with emerald flowers on her head, and a jade pendant on her skirt. As she walks, she can only see the golden light shining and hear the jade pendant jingle.

When Jing Lan saw her for the first time, she had only one feeling, that she was a girl who lived a very high life.It's completely different from Shen Wan's aloof, elegant and restrained.

The fifth young lady of the Shen family, Shen Jiao, is the daughter of Shen Xian, the second son of the patriarch Shen Xiang, and his wife Pang Shi. She is the youngest, and is very much loved by the two couples.Especially after Shen Wan got married, Shen Jiao was the only daughter in the entire clan. From the old lady to the mother, they all held her in their hands, and it hurt like an eyeball.

Relying on these favors, of course Shen Jiao lived freely, she could play as much as she wanted, she could play tricks on anyone she wanted, no one would punish her for this, at most they would say a few words about her.

"Sister, you're finally back, oops, I miss you so much!" As soon as Shen Jiao entered the room, she saw Shen Wan, her eyes sparkled, she stomped her feet and pouted, twisting her body and coquettishly said.

"Uh..." Jing Lan twitched the corners of her mouth when she saw this, and thought to herself, "Does Miss Fifth usually like to talk like this? It seems that she is obviously younger than her actual age..."

"Fifth sister." Shen Wan stood up, walked a few steps, held her hand and said with a smile, "I just came out from my mother and the old lady, I didn't see you when I came here, I don't know where you are going That's it... let's tidy up the house first..."

"Sister-in-law asked me to go over and do needlework with her."

"Didn't you tell your sister-in-law to make less female celebrities? She is six months pregnant, and if she does too much, she will damage her eyes."

"She made it for the baby in her womb, the little bellyband, and I also helped make the little shoes. She said that making those things is good, otherwise it is easy to be sleepy in this season, and sleeping all day is not good for the baby in the womb. "

"I see."

While chatting, the two sisters took each other to sit down on the mahogany arhat bed under the south window of Xici Room.

A maid went to make tea for Shen Jiao.

Shen Jiao took the tea, took a sip and then put it down, grabbed Shen Wan's hand and chattered.

She also mentioned that she planned to hold a flower viewing banquet in a few days, and invited the sisters from different houses in the family, as well as some ladies from Jinling City, as well as Shen Wan and her sister-in-law Xiao Ruyu to come and enjoy the flowers.

"Elder Sister, it's just right that you're back. Not only do I not need to write a post to invite you, but I can also ask you to give me some advice on how to organize the flower viewing party well this time." Shen Jiao smiled.

Jing Lan, who was working on the side, frowned when she heard that Shen Jiao wanted to invite Xiao Ruyu. It was Xiao Ruyu who was really annoying.And she thought, if the news of Shen Wan's reconciliation with Xiao Yulang had been spread by the Xiao family at this time, then Xiao Ruyu would also know about it, and if she came, would all the Shen family know about it?

The author has something to say: Let me tell you that, although Xiao Qingmei has opened an advance receipt, it does not mean that this article enters the middle part.This is just the beginning. First of all, I have to finish writing this book.The pre-received article just means that I have this stalk and I still want to write it. I still have to be busy to start this book before I finish it.
