Shen You and Shen Jia returned to Shen's Mansion together.
The two brothers were in Prince Yan's Mansion together. However, one was on duty in the mansion and the other was accompanying His Highness Prince Yan. There was little opportunity to see each other during the day. At night, Shen Jia often sneaked away to see Shen You, and when he was tired, he slept in Shen You's room. in the house.
Shen You has a cold temperament, and his whole body has an air of repulsion. There are very few people who dare to get close to Shen You. Only Shen Jia feels from the bottom of his heart that his fourth brother has a good temper and is always close to him.
Da Feng was also used to seeing brothers Shen Jia and Shen You only once a month, smiling and asking for their welfare.
The second daughter-in-law, Ms. Tong, stood aside with a smile on her face, holding her several-month-old son.
When Shen Jia saw her nephew, she enthusiastically approached her, stretched out her arms to hug him, threw him up high with a little force, and then caught him steadily. The child giggled happily.
As a first-time mother, Tong was secretly nervous and stared at her child carefully.
Da Feng smiled and glanced at Shen Jia: "Sanlang, don't play around. The child is still young, so there is no way he can bear to play like this. After three to five years, the child will grow up and become strong, so you can just lead him to be naughty and mischievous."
Shen Jiayi was not done yet and reluctantly returned his nephew to Mr. Tong.
Mrs. Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly hugged the child. She never thought that the child would be reluctant to leave her third uncle. Her two chubby hands hugged Shen Jia's neck tightly.
Shen Jia suddenly became proud and said with a beaming smile: "He is indeed my nephew."
Amidst the laughter, Shen You also raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows were much softer than usual.
Da Feng couldn't help but talk about Shen Jia's marriage again: "Sanlang, in one month, you will be sixteen years old. It's time to make a marriage arrangement. A few days ago, Magistrate Lei Tong held a wedding banquet. I'll go At the wedding banquet, I met Mrs. Lei and the fourth girl of the Lei family. The fourth girl Lei was pretty and pretty, with a lively temperament..."
Shen Jia's head hurt as soon as he heard it, and he immediately held his stomach: "Hey, why does my stomach hurt so much? I'll go take a rest first and come back later."
He just held his stomach and ran away quickly with his legs.
Mrs. Feng was so angry that she said to Shen You: "Look at him, he does this when I mention marriage. If he can worry even less than you, I won't have such a headache."
Good brothers have to cut each other's throats.
Shen You thought for a while and came up with an idea: "Second aunt posted a message in advance, took advantage of the holiday to burn incense, and asked Mrs. Lei to go with her. Maybe the third brother will automatically change his mind when he sees the girl from the Lei family. "
This is a good idea.
Da Feng's eyes lit up, she nodded with a smile. Then, she said with concern: "By the way, it's been a few months since Shaojun returned to Pingjiang Mansion. In another month, it will be her hairpin ceremony. By then, she must return. Come to the capital!"
The most important thing in a girl's life is getting married, and the most important thing before getting married is the gift of haircut.
On the day when a daughter from an ordinary family gets her haircut, she invites some relatives and friends to the house, and sets up two banquets to make it lively. When she gets to a wealthy family, when she gets her hairpin, she invites highly respected female family members to be the main guests, and young girls to be the complimenters. .The grand haircut ceremony heralds the girl's adulthood, and then she can get engaged and married.
It was fine for Feng Shaojun to live with his mother-in-law on weekdays. When it came time for the wedding ceremony, he should always go back to the Feng family. It would be appropriate for the Feng family to handle the wedding ceremony.
Shen You sighed secretly in his heart.
He now quite understands all the inconveniences faced by Feng Shaojun. For a man to be out on an errand, it would be okay if he was not seen for a month or two. For a woman, it would be a deviant behavior.
Thanks to the Cui family's cover, Feng Shaojun didn't reveal his true nature.
Now that haircut ceremony is coming soon, what reason should Feng Shaojun give for refusing to return to Beijing?
Just as Shen You was about to open his mouth to speak, the concierge hurried over and handed over the post: "This is a post from the Qiu family to the Fourth Young Master. Please take a look at it."
Qiu family?
Da Feng was startled and looked at Shen You.
Shen You understood clearly, so he took the post and opened it and took a look. It was actually a post sent by Mrs. Qiu, inviting him to be a guest at Qiu's house.
Mrs. Qiu had a mean face, but she was actually quite fair in her actions. When he went to Qiu's house when he was young, Mrs. Qiu, although a little cold, did not feel sorry for him.
Mrs. Qiu's warm invitation to him this time was obviously to thank him for reminding Qiu Mingcheng to change his mount, or maybe she also wanted Qiu Rou and Qiu Jie to get close to him.
"Silang," Da Feng said softly: "Mrs. Qiu personally wrote the post, you'd better go there!"
Shen You said calmly: "No need."
Neither the former nor the latter is necessary.
He reminded Qiu Mingcheng that he didn't want the Qiu family to make the same mistake again. As for Qiu Rou and Qiu Jie, he was not familiar with them at all. They had been here for so many years, so there was no need to pretend to be close.
Da Feng gave some advice, but Shen You had a strong opinion and had to give up.
Shen Jia, who had slipped out for "convenience", slipped back at this time. After learning about this, he sided with Shen You without hesitation: "Fourth brother, if you don't want to go, don't go."
It was not a pleasant experience to go either.
It’s okay not to go.
This is Shen You's home. The Qiu family and Shen You have nothing to do with each other.
A warm color flashed in Shen You's eyes.
The Shen family was particularly lively today. Not long after the Qiu family left, another distinguished guest came to the door.
"Madam Qi," the porter reported with cupped hands: "There is a chamberlain who calls himself Eunuch Feng and is outside the door, saying he wants to see the Fourth Young Master."
Shen You: "..."
Before Shen You could open his mouth, Shen Jia had a look of astonishment on his face and jumped three feet high: "What? Why is Eunuch Feng here!"
Mrs. Feng was also a little surprised: "Who is Eunuch Feng?"
Shen You's expression was a little subtle, and he carefully considered his words before replying: "Eunuch Feng is the adopted son of Eunuch Yang. He works as an errand for His Highness King Yan and is quite favored by His Highness..."
"This Eunuch Feng is arrogant, bullying, harsh-spoken, and has a bad personality!"
Shen Jia thought about the secret losses she had suffered at the hands of Eunuch Feng, and felt a bit gnashing her teeth: "Our brothers have nothing to do with him! Why did he come to our Shen family today! He must not be trying to knock on the door!"
Shen You said again: "..."
It's a mess and there's no way to explain it.
Mrs. Feng was dubious about Shen Jia's words and looked at Shen You: "This Eunuch Feng is already here. Do you want to see him or not?"
Shen You nodded: "I'll go out to greet you right away."
Shen Jia was startled and was about to say something when she saw Shen You walking out quickly.
Even the sworn enemies are knocking on the door, even if you don’t see them, you won’t be able to see them!
The fourth brother cannot be allowed to face that insidious, cunning and shameless Eunuch Feng alone!
Shen Jia gritted his teeth and chased after him: "Fourth brother, wait for me! I'll go with you!"
Outside the door of Shen's Mansion, a handsome chambermaid who was not tall and slightly thin stood leisurely.
Hearing the footsteps, the chamberlain raised his head, raised his eyebrows and smiled at the handsome young man who was striding towards him: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay, Guard Shen?"
