Chapter 1524: Tsundere old father-in-law, the men of the Sheng family
Chapter 1524: The arrogant old father-in-law and all the men of the Sheng family
brush!
Mr. Sheng turned away from his lazy look and stood up directly, "What?
My good daughter has returned home?
Quick, welcome us out!"
As he spoke, he kicked Sheng Xinghua, who was standing dumbly aside, "I didn't hear your sister came back, why are you still standing here stupidly?"
The old man opened the door and trotted out. However, he stopped after a moment and asked the panting maid beside him, "Who else did you mention just now?"
"Master, my uncle is here too?"
"The boy is here too?"
Mr. Sheng frowned, and his face suddenly grew long! His expression changed for a moment, and he went back to the room and lay down again.
"Dad, didn't you say you wanted to welcome him out?"
Sheng Xinghua asked dumbfounded.
"You bastard, I am his father-in-law, how can a father-in-law take the initiative to welcome his son-in-law?
Even if you are a Marquis, I will still be his father-in-law when you get here! You can go by yourself, I will be waiting here!"
After thinking about it, the old man still said, "Go and call your second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, and your brothers to come with you, and let him know that my daughter is also being cared for!"
"In addition, call all your aunts and the girls in each room and ask them to meet their eldest sister!"
Sheng Yongde gave orders repeatedly.
The Sheng family is considered a big family, Sheng Yongde is the eldest member, and the other families follow Sheng Yongde to make a living! Sheng Yongde is kind and powerful, and the other families are also well-behaved and sensible. Therefore, the whole family is harmonious and beautiful. This time before
When I came to Lianli City, everyone was there.
Sheng Xinghua was the eldest son of Sheng Yongde, and he and Lian'er were biological brothers and sisters. Lian'er's mother had passed away, and Sheng Yongde had three concubines, who also gave Sheng Yongde six or seven children.
There are five Sheng Yongde brothers, and there are also four other brothers who have many wives and concubines. Lin Lin finally calculated that Sheng Xinghua has seventeen or eight brothers in his generation and as many as ten daughters. Sheng Xinghua is considered the oldest in this generation. As for
The youngest... A month ago, Sheng Xinghua's fifth uncle's fifth concubine just gave birth to his nineteenth brother...
In this era, it is important for people to have a large family and have a prosperous business. Moreover, the brothers of the Sheng family are very reserved. Otherwise, it is not an exaggeration to say that there will be dozens of brothers in three or four generations.
Shen Tang and Lian'er got off the carriage and were directly welcomed into the front hall. After waiting for about a while for tea, they heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside the door.
Then, the door opened, and a dense group of people, old and young, appeared in Shen Tang's sight!
"Hey, my little sister and brother-in-law are back?"
Sheng Xinghua took the lead, grinning and shouted at Shen Tang and Lian'er!
Although Sheng Xinghua had no impression of this sister, she did not lack the nature of being a doting sister. I thought that if he and Zhao Shen knew each other, they would definitely have something in common.
Although Sheng Yongde and Lian'er met each other, the two brothers and sisters had never met each other very often. However, no matter where they went, Sheng Xinghua would buy some delicious and fun things for his sister and send them directly to Shen Mansion in Lianli City.
.
As for money and the like, the father and son would have people give it to Lian'er every now and then. Therefore, Lian'er now is definitely a wealthy little woman.
Perhaps because of his doting on his sister, Sheng Xinghua had no respect for Shen Tang, the Marquis. On the contrary, he was very close to Ai Wu and Wu Ye, far from being as showy as when they met in Taihu Lake.
"I've met my brother!"
Shen Tang stood up and smiled.
Lian'er also stood up and saluted Sheng Xinghua. Sheng Xinghua hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister, we are all members of our own family, why do we need to salute! You go to the inner courtyard quickly. Dad, several aunts and other sisters are waiting. I will take my brother-in-law first." I met my other brothers and uncles, and then went to visit my father."
"My wife, go first. I'll talk to my brother and I'll come back later!"
Shen Tang said to Lian'er.
Lian'er nodded and followed the little maid beside her towards the backyard.
"Come brother-in-law, let me introduce you to some uncles and brothers in the family!"
Before Sheng Xinghua could speak, the people behind him saluted respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Marquis!"
Sheng Yongde is Lian'er's biological father, and Sheng Xinghua is his biological brother. The two of them can ignore Shen Tang's identity for a while, but if others pretend to be relatives, it will be a bit embarrassing! For them, Shen Tang Tang is first of all the Marquis of Zhongwu, and secondly the uncle of the Sheng family.
Moreover, the Sheng family has strict tutoring. Although some of them can be considered naughty, they are not ignorant.
In such a huge family, it is inevitable to have disputes and dirty laundry, but it is impossible to say that these people are fools.
Originally, the other uncles and brothers were still willing to compete with Sheng Xinghua. After all, although he was the eldest son, who had never contributed to the family?
But since Lian'er recognized her as a relative and was brought into the house by Shen Tang, these people's thoughts have changed.
With a brother-in-law like Shen Tang, even if Sheng Xinghua is an Adou, they cannot bully them. They might as well take advantage of the name of the Shen family and help the family with their business. In the future, the family's business will be somewhat smaller than theirs. .
Furthermore, as Lian'er was brought into the house, not only the status of the Sheng family gradually changed, but even their maternal relatives also benefited to some extent. How could they not know where the source of this was?
Therefore, at this moment, whether it is several uncles or other brothers, they are all extremely respectful to Shen Tang!
Shen Tang hurried forward and helped the older uncles with his own hands, "There is no need for these uncles to be so polite. When they arrive at our house, only the sons-in-law of the Sheng family will be the only ones. As juniors, how can we let the elders salute! And brothers, please hurry up. Please get up! You are brothers from Lian'er's family, so naturally we are a family. I am often not at home, so we finally meet you, so you should be close to me.
Moreover, if I am away from home and something happens at home, don’t I need help from my brothers?”
Of course, these were polite words, but they made all the Sheng family feel very comfortable! Look at the status of the Marquis, and he was so close to lowly merchants like them. No wonder he was in a high position at such a young age.
"Master Hou is right!"
Sheng Xinghua's second uncle Sheng Yongxue said quickly, "You bastards, why don't you hurry up and meet the Marquis? If you can learn even half of the Marquis' skills, my brother won't have to worry about you!"
Shen Tang looked at a group of children of the Sheng family, big and small, and he was not unreasonable, "Second uncle is too praiseworthy, but we, the children of the Sheng family, should strengthen ourselves to prosper the family! In the future, if there are children in the family who are taking the scientific examination, feel free to come Looking for me, although my knowledge is shallow, I am familiar with many great scholars. With their guidance, I will naturally get twice the result with half the effort! Moreover, as long as I can pass the exam, it will not be difficult to get an official salary in the future!"
"If you are determined to join the army and gain experience, it will be easier, but you have to be able to endure the hardships!"
