"The Shen family is so ungrateful. It turns out they are so reckless and don't understand etiquette, justice, and shame?"
Zhao knew very well that everything could not be killed with one blow, and he also knew that the civil and military forces of this dynasty were indifferent to each other.
"Don't talk about them, Mother He has left the Shen family now, and we will leave back to Piling after the confinement."
Mrs. Cheng calculated the date, which meant that the coming day was only twenty days away. "Let me know when you have decided on the date. If you have time, I will go back to Changzhou with you."
Not long after the two sat down, Panlou brought the table in.
In less than a stick of incense, Mrs. Cheng's mind went back and forth and she thought of many things.
"It seems that this banquet not only congratulates He on his new move, but also congratulates He Niang for leaving that quagmire."
Lu Fenghe took Cheng's arm and said, "Thank you to my aunt, it's been a waste of time for my aunt."
Mrs. Cheng poked Lu Fenghe's finger and said, "You are an adult, but you are still a skinny monkey."
The female family members took their children to eat in the courtyard where Lu Fenghe and Zhao lived, while Mr. Guo, his two sons and the men of the Lu family ate in the front yard.
The boy who sent the children in said that wine had been prepared in the front yard.
Mrs. Zhao asked the boy to wait on him and not let Mr. Guo and the gentlemen get drunk.
Mrs. Cheng grabbed Mrs. Zhao and said, "I asked you to go to our house but you didn't go. Now there's no one in your house to have a few drinks, so you have to entertain the guests..."
"Oh my, my mouth, I'm afraid of you. Your master still has to go to the government office. If you eat too much, it will cause trouble."
"How old are you, how can you still mess up things? You worry so much, and there are so many husbands in your family."
Zhao thought the same thing. Except for Hachiro and Jiulang who were a bit more adventurous, the others were all steady-tempered and would not mess around.
What they didn't know was that at the housewarming party, if Master Guo and Lu Jiulang hadn't been there, those steady-tempered gentlemen would have almost gotten into a fight.
The female family members finished the evening meal and had a conversation. After the children had enough fun, Mrs. Cheng took her daughter-in-law and grandson back home first.
She just ordered someone to tell the Mr. Guo family and the eldest man who was going to be on duty to go home early and not miss his errand. As for the erlangjun who walked dogs and fought cocks all day long, Mrs. Cheng wished he could spend more time with Mr. Lu family and learn more.
.
Before the gentlemen had finished two glasses of wine, someone appeared silently at the door of the hall.
It was Guo Erlang who saw it first and pulled Lu Balang next to him to rest.
"Shen Dalang..."
Lu Balang was so angry that he kicked Guo Erlang's calf, "Don't look for bad luck. Don't mention a word about people who shouldn't be mentioned."
"not him……"
"What's wrong with him? I sent him a post to invite him?"
Guo Erlang wanted to speak, but this time he was interrupted by someone at the door.
"It seems that Shen came at the right time. Mr. Guo is also here. Wouldn't you mind adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks?"
Lu Balang put down his bamboo chopsticks and stood up, "Shen Dalang, what are you doing here? I tell you that Mother He will not go back with you. Even if you want to divorce your wife, I will not let Xiao Shi go with you."
Lu Erlang frowned and asked the young boy who had just arrived at a trot, "What's going on? Why are everyone being released into the house?"
The boy was panting, "I'm sorry, sir, but I was eating when I accidentally asked someone to cross the low wall and open the door from the inside."
Lu Sanlang looked at the two people who had followed Shen Dalang and stood in the corridor without saying a word. With just one glance, he could tell that both of them were practitioners and had some skills.
Shen Nanxun was also very aggrieved. When he woke up, his wife and children had left home. He couldn't sit still after listening to Zhuyuan, so he went to Bailuyuan. Qingling and Lufu were there, but they couldn't even stand together.
Not even a cup of tea was prepared.
Bailu Garden is almost empty except for furniture and utensils that will be difficult to move out for a while.
After sitting for a while, Shen Nanxun was still feeling uncomfortable. He stood up and was about to listen to Zhuyuan again. When he walked to the second door, he heard his mother's curse again, which made him click his tongue.
When the evening meal was delivered, Shen Nanxun asked Lu Shun and Shoukang to accompany him out without even taking the chopsticks.
In the afternoon, Shen Nanxun knew which courtyard Lu Fenghe lived in. Could it be that she had been upset just today and was injured, so Shen Nanxun didn't bother to go through the corner door and went directly to the backyard to see his wife and children?
Mr. Guo responded to Shen Nanxun's greetings but did not ask for a table or chopsticks. Although he was the oldest person at the table, he did not know what happened to the young couple and what the attitudes of the Lu and Shen families were. .
Seeing that Guo Weichang was also there, Shen Nanxun felt that his trip was not in vain and there were some things he could explore first.
Guo Weichang is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and is the first of the six ministers. The next step is to become the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister. Guo Weichang is not over half a century old now, so it will not be difficult to take the next step.
Shen Nanxun couldn't help but think too much, so Lu Balang was very rude and said, "What are you doing here? The Lu family temple is small, please come back, prince."
The one who was most angry about Lu Fenghe and Li was Lu Balang. He was not angry with his sister, but with himself.
If I had known better, I would not have brought Shen Dalang home, let alone let my sister get to know Shen Nanxun. Without me, how could the two of them have met, let alone get married.
Lu Balang was angry that he didn't recognize people well, and he was also angry that Shen Dalang didn't keep his word. When he proposed to marry him, he said a lot of good things to him in private. What are he doing now?
Shen Dalang knew that he was at fault, and he accepted all his uncle's dissatisfaction.
"Someone came to plead guilty."
"Where is the Jing?" Lu Jiulang smiled contemptuously.
Shen Dalang clasped his fists and said, "Someone is not thinking carefully."
After speaking, he said to Shoukang outside the door, "Go and prepare quickly."
Shoukang was stunned for a moment before he realized what Shen Nanxun was talking about. It was okay to take off his shirt in this weather, but the master's body could bear the burden of thorns.
Kang Shou was more prudent than Fu An. He did not propose it immediately, but agreed to leave.
As the eldest among the brothers, Lu Erlang naturally wanted to speak out.
"Your Majesty is injured, please sit down and talk."
They were only asked to sit down, but no one was allowed to sit at the table, let alone dishes and chopsticks. Shen Nanxun could only sit down on the armchair in the room.
When Lu Sanlang saw this, he just asked, "Why are you spreading rumors? I hope the prince can clarify your doubts."
The other gentlemen had not yet heard the rumor that Lu Sanlang was in charge of the Lu family's business, so in the afternoon the shopkeeper of the Lu family shop came to see him.
When several brothers heard about the rumors spread by the Shen family, they asked about the contents in detail. Even Lu Silang, who had been persuading his younger brother, became hard-fisted.
Guo Dalang was at the Yushitai, and Shen Nanxun had been reprimanded a lot over the years. Because of his relationship with the Lu family, Guo Dalang had dealt with him several times.
Even if he knew that the rumor came from the Shen family, his first reaction was whether Shen Nanxun was planning something.
Guo Dalang grabbed Lu Silang, "Why don't you listen to what Shen Dalang has to say."
After the impulse, Lu Silang also restrained his emotions, "I would like to hear his excuses."
Shen Nanxun stood up and bowed to Guo Dalang, "I also ask Mr. Xiao Guo to read my copy tomorrow."
