Shen Qing'er followed the housekeeper to the state-class cabin, and for the first time in her life, she had never seen Xu Hao, and it had been less than a year since the passenger ship was launched.

The cabin is composed of large and small suites, the windows on both sides are hung with brocade floor-to-ceiling curtains, a mirror screen on the opposite side is shining, inlaid with sandalwood shelves, tables and chairs are carved silver and jade, which looks extremely luxurious, not to mention the ship, even the big families do not have such furnishings.

Shen Qing'er was stunned for a moment, hearing the laughter and joy behind the screen, as the housekeeper turned over, there was another hall, with a rectangular table, and a special wax table with bright lights, and when several people saw her, they all stood up and smiled: "The good guest is here." ”

Although Shen Qing'er boasted that she had seen some of the world, she couldn't help but be a little shy when she came here.

I couldn't help the young man who came over politely, grabbed his wrist, and apologized: "Presumptuous, you shouldn't have gone out with a wine glass before, and you have suffered an unjustified disaster." ”

"Nothing." Shen Qing'er couldn't raise her head shyly, after all, she rarely accompanied the wine, especially in front of several men.

After sitting down, I was apprehensive, and after a while, I became a little bolder, and raised my head to observe these people, there were five people in total, and they all seemed to be dignitaries.

The housekeeper introduced her, and Shen Qing'er knew that the son was Xu Hu, the seventh master of the Xu family, a person with a strong temperament and a handsome appearance than Xu Hu, who didn't look very old, but he was the Governor of the Navy and the Governor of Songjiang Mansion, Mu Hui, and the rest were officials, but the official titles and names were not clear for a while.

After three glasses of wine, Shen Qing'er was much more lively, so she took the initiative to hold the pot and got up, and smiled at the table: "The old man admires his face, and he called Qing'er to come up, there is no filial piety, please have a drink." ”

Everyone else nodded and drank, and when they arrived in front of Xu Hu, Shen Qing'er smiled and said, "Can you appreciate your face or not?" ”

Xu Hu said deliberately: "Naturally, I have to drink, but I can't help it." Please bear with me, drink half a glass for me, and I'll do it again." ”

"Hey!" Shen Qing'er lowered her head and smiled, not saying that she agreed or disagreed.

The housekeeper helped hand the cup to Shen Qing'er, and the men and women drank a cup together, the meaning of which was self-evident, which made her ashamed, she gritted her teeth and really drank half a cup, and the others cheered, making Shen Qing'er lie on the table in shame. Can't hold your head up.

Unexpectedly, the cheers did not stop, and a beautiful woman came in again, combing a swallowtail and a bun, wearing a brocade narrow-sleeved long skirt, holding a little girl, with a smile on her face, she didn't speak, and stood there looking at Shen Qing'er.

Shen Qing'er saw Xu Hu and Mu Dudu both walking out and helping the beauty. Don't dare to get up with it.

It's very strange, there was a lot of talk and laughter at the table, but since this beauty came out, none of them dared to make a noise. Even the official who was very good at talking just now was like a dumb man at the moment, and Xu Hu was honest, and he no longer had the previous radiant spirit. Only Mu Dudu's smile had three more points of love.

The beauty didn't say hello, took Shen Qing'er's hand, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to Jinling?" ”

Shen Qing'er said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

The beauty glanced at Xu Hu, who was smiling. said: "What a Peugeot look, what do you do in Jinling?" ”

With you, Shen Qing'er, being free and easy, you can't answer this sentence, so you can only keep your head down and say nothing.

Xu Hu hurriedly said: "You can have a drink too, as if you were shy about asking the girl." ”

Beauty smiled and said, "I'm talking, what are you talking about?" Holding Shen Qing'er's hand, he said with a smile: "It's all gentlemen here, we can't be here, wouldn't it be comfortable inside?" I couldn't help but say, and pulled Shen Qing'er Shanshan in.

Several men looked at each other, Xu Hu stretched out his tongue and sighed: "My sister used to be the most naughty and had no shelf, but now that she glances at me, I don't even dare to speak, even if it is the eldest sister and the second sister, it is not so majestic, but the eldest sister-in-law is like this." ”

Mu Hui smiled bitterly, even he was more and more afraid of his wife, who let his wife take charge of the rich industry.

A middle-aged official smiled lightly: "I have now served the southern beauty, that amorous method is amazing." ”

The person next to him hurriedly kicked him secretly and said, "What beauty, that's Mrs. Mu, the sister of the seventh son." ”

"Yes, yes, look at my stinky mouth, don't be weird." The middle-aged official said busily.

Mu Hui smiled: "It's okay." Come, let's continue to eat and drink. ”

Everyone sat down one after another, and Xu Hu said: "I read a note the day before yesterday, saying that there are not many names of the ancients within ten paintings, so let's say a few and use it as a wine order." ”

An officer on the other side said, "It's not good, I'm a big old man, aren't you cheating me?" ”

Xu Hu said with a smile: "The wine order is stricter than the military order, and those who do not comply will be punished with three dog barks." Just what words are used to make orders? ”

The middle-aged official said: "Coincidence of fate, how about the green characters?" The crowd immediately said yes.

Xu Hu said: "So I will give an order." "Drank a glass of wine," Wang Dan, the famous minister of the Song Dynasty, within ten paintings, went to the Qing people. ”

Counting the officer's turn, the officer hurriedly said, "I can't say it, where do I start?" After scratching his head and cheeks for a while, he exclaimed, "I'm Wang Ba." ”

Mu Hui squirted out a mouthful of wine, pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "What nonsense." ”

The officer said, "My order is Wang Ba, not that I am Wang Ba." ”

Xu Hu said: "No, how can Wang Ba be a human name?" Penalty for drinking. ”

The officer had no choice but to toast three times in a row, muttering: "There are many people in the world who are called Wang Ba." ”

Half an hour later, Xu Hongye came out with Shen Qing'er and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Mu Hui said: "It's just an order." ”

"I'm going out to get some air." Hongye took her husband's arm and handed Shen Qing'er's hand to Xu Hu, "Change you, I knew you were impatient." ”

Xu Hu really held Shen Qing'er's hand, so that Shen Qing'er's hand couldn't twitch, it was not good for him to pinch it, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't say a word.

Momiji smiled slightly when she saw this, and pulled her husband to the side of the ship.

Here, Shen Qing'er laughed with everyone, said goodbye and returned to her cabin, and whispered to her mother.

Hearing this, Widow Sun was like a green cloud, and said with a smile: "It's really good luck, I don't know what great merits I did in my previous life, and I got to know a first-class noble person as soon as I got on the boat." The British Mansion, the Mu Palace, people who can't even think of it. ”

In this way, after Shen Qing'er won Xu Hu's appreciation, she made fun on the boat from time to time, accompanied Xu Hongye to talk and laugh, and even Widow Shen tiptoed to Mu Hui to ask for peace.

In less than three days and nights, not far from Jinling, Xu Hu knew that Sister Hongye didn't like his wife very much, and except for the third brother and three sisters-in-law, most of the people in the family had a lot of complaints about it.

Xu Hu is away all the year round, it is inconvenient to take Feng everywhere, and he has to leave Daimu at home to take care of her, the two lovers in the early years have inevitably faded with distance and time, and his mentality has changed, and he wants to find another 'confidant' who can accompany him.

In fact, since the moment Feng Wenjun arranged the representative to his concubine, Xu Hu's did not refuse, and it was already a doomed result.

However, Xu Hu is more restrained than his brothers in this regard, and he has not taken a concubine for many years and has not been good, and this time Shen Qing'er also cast his eyes.

As soon as he arrived at the dock, someone would come to greet him, and it was inconvenient to talk to Qing'er, so Xu Hu first admonished: "When you arrive in the capital, you should come to the house first." I rarely go out and hang out, and I'll come to see you again when you're settled. ”

As he spoke, he handed over his jade pendant, "Let's take it for you to play with." ”

Shen Qing'er thanked reluctantly: "The slave family naturally invites the master to go first." ”

When she arrived at the dock, Shen Qing'er lay on the boat and didn't move, looking at several gorgeous carriages to pick up Xu Hu and the others, and then happily followed Widow Sun with her luggage, got off the boat, and hired a car to look for a place to live in the city.

returned to the capital for the New Year's Red Leaves, returned to Muwangfu for the first time, and couldn't wait to return to his parents' house the next day.

Seeing Lao Taijun's mother and other relatives, it goes without saying that there was a lot of excitement, Xu Hao set up a banquet for Mu Hui to wash the dust, and Zhang Fu, Mu Yi and others all attended.

Before leaving in the evening, Hongye told Xu Hao and his wife about Shen Qing'er, Xu Hao didn't react when he heard it, hugged her and said, "That's the matter of the old seven, we can't take care of it." ”

Momiji smiled: "I think so too, although he is a younger brother, but he has become a pro-official, and in internal affairs, it is not easy for a sister who has married me to interfere." ”

Mu Ningxue frowned and said: "In the past few years, the temperament of my younger brother and sister has also been more or less revealed, and there are needles hidden in the brocade." ”

Xu Hao didn't say anything, Hongye sneered: "I know this, the seventh has been away for a few years?" There is not even a connecting house around, let alone offspring, and the only generation remains at home from beginning to end. I think that everyone praised her for being virtuous at the beginning, but I had long expected that she was not as gentle and generous as she appeared on the surface, and she was really scheming. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it." Xu Hao frowned, in his concept, Feng Wenjun's approach was normal, should the husband find a woman if the two places were separated? But this is ancient times, as a wife who does not take care of her husband's needs, it is naturally not virtuous.

For this side, Hongye is nothing more than a few nagging, and the real dissatisfaction is Xu Zengfu's two sons, fortunately, the favor and the big and small affairs are still managed by the Yuan family, otherwise the domineering nature of the Fu family, the Feng family's can't come forward, and the third wife Liu has to complain about the hardship.

Yuan's has complained the most for a long time, and she has to worry about the affairs of Lao Qi, especially the official exchanges, and some very important red and white ceremonies, she has to go in person. I have said it countless times in private, even if there is a concubine who can be on the stage, but Feng Wenjun can't do without Daimu for a day, and it is clear to a clear-eyed person at a glance, it is a dead pressure on Daimu and does not let her come out.

Xu Hao sent Hongye to the car and left, and walked slowly in the corridor with Ning Xue, thinking as he walked, whether male or female, as long as he was old, his thoughts would become complex and realistic.

This home is really getting more and more 'lively'. (To be continued......)
