Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Shen also lost her mind for a moment. When her grandmother passed away, she was just born, so she naturally didn't remember her, but she had heard her father and second uncle talking about it since she was a child. Even the cruel and harsh second aunt, when she mentioned her grandmother, she was full of admiration. It can be seen that the grandma's demeanor back then, unexpectedly Wan Ruo looked the same as her grandma.

Lin Wanru didn't feel anything, thinking it was just a similar appearance, so she bowed her knees and bowed: "It's like seeing my uncle."

Shen Ze hurriedly helped him up, and took out a purse from his sleeve: "Good boy, you are so old, it's the first time uncle sees you, and there is nothing good, you can play with this purse."

Lin Wanru glanced at Aunt Shen, saw Aunt Shen nodding slightly, then took it over, thanked her, and sat next to Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen put Lin Wanru in her arms, her tone was still a little stubborn: "Brother, although I saw you Wanru, but it doesn't mean anything, big brother don't even think about asking Wanru to recognize relatives, her surname is Lin, not Shen."

Shen Ze laughed: "Wu Niang, you are too careful. I know what you are here for. It is almost Chinese New Year now, and there is no need to be anxious about the Jia family. How about this? I will go to find out tomorrow, and wait Let’s talk about it in a year.”

As soon as the business was mentioned, Aunt Shen's face softened a little, and she was dragged by Shen Shi to meet the nephews brought by Shen Ze.

Shen Ze brought a total of five people. The Eldest Young Master Shen Xun is his eldest son and is married. The Second Young Master Shen Jie is the only son of the Second Master Shen Zhen and is also married. The Third Young Master Shen Quan is the eldest son of the Third Master Shen Tan. It was these three people who participated in Chunwei.

The remaining six young masters, Shen Yu, is the concubine son of the fourth master Shen Wan, and the seventh young master, Shen Cheng, is the second son of Shen Ze. This time, the two of them came here to study with a great Confucian in the capital.

At this time, the five of them were all in Chen Yi's study, and Chen Yi looked at the young students with a smile, and liked them very much. One of them rewarded a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and asked each of them about their homework.

Hearing that Shen Yu and Shen Cheng wanted to worship Wen Lingfeng, a great Confucian in the capital, as his teacher, he said with a smile: "The Second Prince's masters, Deng Yuan and Wen Lingfeng, are senior brothers. I will invite the Second Prince to take you to the house some other day. I'm afraid it will get twice the result with half the effort."

Being able to ask the second prince to help shows how much the Chen family attaches importance to the Shen family. The young master Shen Xun hurriedly got up to thank him. Chen Yi said with a smile: "I just like to watch you study, unlike my grandchildren, all of them are Warrior."

Shen Xun said with a smile: "My aunt often writes back, saying that the cousins ​​of the Chen family are martial arts and not literary, and they are the most brave and good at fighting. This is not comparable to us frail scholars."

Chen Yi said with a smile: "Miao Zan Miao Zan, I'm so ridiculous, why don't you see your father?"

Shen Xun said with a smile: "Father and aunt had something to say, so they sent us to come over first to say hello."

Chen Yi was thoughtful, and smiled: "Speaking of which, your fifth aunt and cousin also live in the mansion, logically you should also visit."

Shen Xun and his younger brother looked at each other in blank dismay. When they were at home, they rarely heard about the Fifth Aunt. The elders only said that the Fifth Aunt corrupted the family style and was kicked out of the house. Why is she living in the Chen family now?

Shen Xun was young after all, so he couldn't answer for a while.

It just so happened that it was announced that Mrs. Shen, Shen Ze and Aunt Shen had come, which relieved the embarrassment.

After all, the study room is small, so Chen Yi asked everyone to go to the flower hall to talk.

Shen Ze greeted Chen Yi respectfully, and Chen Yi smiled and said, "I haven't seen your father for a long time, how is he?"

Shen Ze said with a smile: "Father is very strong, and he often talks about you when he is at home." While talking over there, Shen Xun and the others secretly looked at Aunt Shen and Lin Wanru.

Chen Ruiwen had been by his side all the time, and now he couldn't help frowning when he saw it, Lin Wanru was also secretly looking at these young Shen family children, all of them were graceful and graceful, but it was a pity that after all, the smell of books was too strong, and the next Compared with the old Chen Ruiwen, he seemed a little weak.

Chen Yi and Shen Ze said a few words and left. At this time, only the Shen family was left in the flower hall. Shen Xun kowtowed to Shen Shi first and said hello. Shen looked at Shen Xun with a smile: "You I didn't go when we got married, but I heard from the nanny that your daughter-in-law is very dignified."

Shen Xun respectfully said: "Auntie is over the award."

Shen Xun is the eldest grandson of the Shen family. He has been strictly required since he was a child, so he is very prudent, and his answers are neither humble nor overbearing. Shen nodded in satisfaction, and asked the remaining four nephews, then pointed to Aunt Shen and said: "Is this Your Fifth Aunt, she has always lived in seclusion and seldom goes out, why don't you hurry up and pay her respects."

Shen Xun, Shen Cheng, and Shen Jie from the first room immediately knelt down and kowtowed to say hello, Shen Quan from the second room, but Shen Yu was stunned and did not move, and Shen was a little unhappy. Seeing this, Shen Yu secretly pulled Shen Quan Also knelt down.

Aunt Shen avoided it, and said calmly: "When I got married, I said that from now on, the two have nothing to do with each other, and each has its own destiny. Now it is not a member of the Shen family, and you don't need to worship me."

Shen Xun was a little embarrassed at once, looked at his father, and Shen Ze shook his head: "In front of the children, Wu Niang, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Wanru." He asked Shen Xun and others to get up: "Your fifth aunt You have a bad temper, don't worry about it, I don't care what gossip you heard when you were at home, Wu Niang is the fifth aunt of the Shen family, and also your fifth aunt, no different from other aunts, you should treat me respectfully, call me I will not forgive anyone who disrespects the elders."

Shen Ze is the eldest son, and his speech has always carried weight. The five young masters of the Shen family responded in unison. Lin Wanru watched, got up and went forward to give blessings: "Hello, cousins, I am Wanru."

Shen Xun hurriedly helped her up: "Sister Wan is so polite. The two places were far apart before and we have never seen each other. Now that we meet again, it is a happy event. We need to get closer in the future."

Lin Wanru pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, cousin."

Chen Ruiwen looked very uncomfortable, and stepped forward to block Lin Wanru: "Uncle and a few cousins ​​have come a long way and have worked hard. Since we have met, let's take a rest first. Grandpa has prepared to welcome you all at night. It’s the same if you have something to say later.”

Shen Ze nodded, and said: "What Ruiwen said is, let's take a rest first, tidy up and salute, teach children, ask someone to prepare gifts, and tomorrow we will visit Jia's house." Shen Xun agreed, and then left.

Lin Wanru also helped Aunt Shen back to Ningxiangzhai, along the way, Aunt Shen was in a daze, Lin Wanru knew her heart disease, so she didn't dare to say a word.

After going back, Aunt Shen was in a daze for a long time, then she waved to Lin Wanru and said: "Even if your uncle is here this time, even if he doesn't say anything, the younger generations will not be able to hide the truth. There will be some action, about the Shen family, I'd better tell you earlier."

Lin Wanru was a little surprised, she thought Aunt Shen was indifferent to the affairs of the Shen family, but now it seems that she understands.

In fact, Aunt Shen had heard about it from the Shen family several times, so she knew a thing or two, otherwise she wouldn't care about the Shen family's affairs.

The Shen family has been passed down for forty or fifty generations from the previous dynasty to the present, and was finally inherited by the eldest son Shen Ke.

Shen Yueming married his wife, Zhuang family, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. They are the uncle Shen Ze, the second master Shen Zhen, and the eldest aunt Shen Yuanniang.

Shen Aixiao is married to Guan Shi. They have two sons and two daughters. They are the third master Shen Tan, the fourth master Shen Wan, the second aunt Shen Erniang, the third aunt Shen Sanniang, and the concubines Shen Wuniang and Shen Siniang. Shen Siniang died young and there are few outsiders. Those who know, only assume that Shen Aixiao has five children.

Although Guan Shi is strong, he subdued Shen Aixiao, otherwise he would not be able to give birth to four children in one go, and he would be like a thorn in the flesh to Shen Wuniang, the only concubine daughter.

Except for studying, Shen Aixiao didn't care about all mundane affairs, and Shen Wuniang's biological mother passed away early, and there was no one to protect her, so she was tricked by others and had to commit herself as a concubine.

Among the group of people who were of the same generation as Lin Wanru, the eldest son of the big house, Shen Ze, had two sons, Shen Xun and Shen Cheng.

The second master, Shen Zhen, has a son who is Shen Jie.

Shen Yuanniang married into the Chen family and gave birth to Chen Ruiwen.

The third master of the second room, Shen Tan, married Guan's niece. They have two sons and a daughter, namely Shen Quan, Shen Zheng, and Shen Man.

The fourth master, Shen Wan, has two sons and two daughters, Shen Nuo, Shen Yu, Shen Fu, and Shen Rong.

Shen Erniang married Feng Jiawen, the prefect of Hangzhou, and had a son and a daughter, Feng Yi and Feng Ying.

Shen Sanniang married Gao Yuan, who gave birth to twin daughters, Gao Ning'er and Gao Mi'er.

Shen Wuniang married Lin Ruhai and gave birth to Lin Wanru.
