Chapter 1087: The Shi Family's Banquet
On the banquet, the old and the young were still seated, and the men and women were seated, and Shen Nanzhi first went with Shen Yao to meet the two uncles. The eldest uncle looked at the white appearance of a Confucian at a glance, and he spoke softly, seeing that Shen Nanzhi liked it tightly, and gave her a small bag of small objects made of gold.
Shen Nanzhi was holding the purse, it turned out that his mother's idea was learned from the people of the historian family.
The third uncle is much tougher, I heard that he was a military attache in his early years, and he is more energetic when he speaks, which is enough to be the style of the marquis.
It's just that...... Brother Wencheng is more like an uncle's child, and the soft voice when he speaks is half carved out of a mold.
Shen Nanzhi smiled and put away the purse carefully, they are all a family, and there are always similar times.
Her small movements were fully watched by Wen Cheng, and he couldn't help but come over and gently pat the top of her head, and scolded with a low smile in the crowded banquet hall: "Little wealth fan! ”
Everyone sat down one after another, Shen Nanzhi took Shen Zhixia to sit on the side of the women's table, in the center was the elders dressed, Shi's, uncles, aunts and grandmothers were all sitting together, and on the other side was a table of junior men. For a while, the hall was in full swing, except for a sister who couldn't come back after getting married, and a few young concubines in each room, a large family gathered here.
There was no woman on the table, and there was no one talking about political affairs on the men's seat, Shen Yao did not forget to tell Wen Cheng about his studies everywhere, and Shen Nanzhi, who was harmed, could also hear Wen Cheng's voice being asked by Shen Yao.
The woman's side was much more relaxed, and seeing that Shen Nanzhi was new to Beijing, Cousin Yisheng talked about gossip in Beijing with great interest.
Shen Nanzhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking: "By the way, cousin, when we were in Suzhou before, there was a Master Lu from the Lu family in the Yongyi Marquis Mansion who came to be a gentleman for a few days...... I heard that Mrs. Hou is the biological mother of the eldest son, but not the biological mother of the second son, what is the secret of this? ”
Hearing this, his eyes glared: "Where are the words!" The current Mrs. Hou is a continuation, and the two sons of the Lu family are not from this Mrs. Hou! ”
"Huh?" Shen Nanzhi was slightly stunned, it shouldn't be like this, Lu Yunqi didn't need to deceive himself like this! And Mo Zhu, who was talking to him that day, also concealed and perfunctory everywhere, how could it be so simple?
"Speaking of which, isn't it Lu Yunqi, the second son of the Lu family, who went to your house to teach?" Sister Ai on the side snorted lightly, seeing that her face seemed a little shy, it seems that Lu Yunqi is also a great figure in the capital.
Shen Nanzhi nodded, and Yi Sheng had already spoken: "Ah, the original wife of the Lu family, Jiang Shi, is from an excellent background, not to mention the title in the family, and it seems that she is the distant aunt of the first emperor or something, but it is a pity that there is such a girl in the family, the only daughter of the princess is married by the Son of Heaven, but she still does not live long, and she is gone after giving birth to two children...... The marquis of the Lu family is too, and he continued the string in the second year! ”
"Is this really the case?" Shen Nanzhi asked unwillingly, "At that time, Lord Lu was teaching in our house, and I once talked to Lord Lu by chance, as if Lord Lu and his brother did not have a good relationship." ”
"My brother also has a time to break the wall!" Yi Sheng let out a long sigh, "It's no secret that the relationship between the two is not harmonious, Lord Lu is following the temperament and appearance of the Jiang family, but it's a pity that the eldest son doesn't look like the Jiang family at all!" ”
Shen Nanzhi didn't say anything anymore, it seems that the inside story of the Lu family is still a secret in the capital, and according to Yi Sheng, it is more likely that this Dalang is not the Jiang family's biological son, and Lu Yunqi didn't lie to himself - however, he is also really big-hearted, so he doesn't know how to hide a thing or two from the outside world, if she accidentally shakes out any scandal of the Lu family, she must not be eaten alive by the Lu family?
What is going on, Shen Nanzhi doesn't have the heart to continue thinking about it, many things are already clear in his mind, but there is no conclusion, it is better to pretend that he doesn't know anything.
Later, she ate obediently, while listening to Yisheng and Sister Ai talking about the gossip news in the city with great interest, and soon everyone finished eating, and the juniors toasted with the elders, and then finally stopped the feast.
In the afternoon, Shen Nanzhi asked Sister Ai to take her to play in the Hou Mansion for a long time, but she was docile, in the end she was not as good as Yisheng had ideas, Yisheng's cousin pulled someone to go boating, and went to the center of the lake to fish, which scared Sister Ai's little face to be white, but Shen Nanzhi and Shen Zhixia came from the south, and they rowed a lot on weekdays.
played happily for an afternoon, and in the evening the Shi family had a banquet together, but there were more people this night, and even the boys and girls from each room were also on the table, and there was a small meat in the second room. Tuan Tuan was brought by the nurse. Shen Nanzhi couldn't tell who was who, and followed Yisheng and Sister Ai to call her brother and sister.
The sky gradually darkened, and the carriage of the Shen Mansion came to pick up people, and everyone reluctantly said goodbye.
On the way back, the wheels of the carriage rolled over the bluestone pavement, making a gentle sound, and there were servants in front and behind with lanterns with the word "Shen" written on them, but the capital was at night, and the streets were also hung with lanterns a few steps apart, but it was not very dim.
The mother and daughter were in a car, and Shen Nanzhi was still curious to look out of the window, and heard Shi Shi beside him say with a soft smile: "What do you think of the Shi family?" ”
Shen Nanzhi sat back at this time, and replied to Shi Shi very seriously: "I think it's good anywhere!" My cousin and cousin treat me very politely, my younger brothers and sisters are also well-behaved and sensible, not to mention the third uncle, who is not a relative, but he is also like my own. Not...... My grandmother is also very nice, and she smiles when she talks, just like your mother. ”
Shi Shi couldn't help but laugh, "It's because I never believe in the words 'things are people'!" Originally, I didn't want to come back, the capital ...... There are so many memories of me! But when I came back, I didn't think it was a big deal, thanks to your grandmother and uncle. ”
As she spoke, she raised her head slightly and glanced out, snorting and sighing deeply: "It's as if nothing has changed over the years...... However, there is always something that has changed! ”
Shen Nanzhi stopped talking, and only leaned his head lightly on Shi's shoulder. The mother and daughter snuggled up to each other, and returned to the strange Shen Mansion with the rickety carriage.
