Chapter 1525: The Sheng family is happy and gossip in the backyard
"If you want to be a merchant, then I don't dare to do anything. Not to mention my father-in-law, which of your uncles is not an expert in this regard?"
Shen Tang's words made Sheng Yongde's younger brothers overjoyed. With Shen Tang's current status, he could change their destiny with just a little care. Although the Sheng family was not short of money, who didn't want their children to be successful in the future?
"You bastards, why don't you thank the Marquis! No one else can wait for this opportunity!"
Several uncles quickly turned around and scolded their own children.
The little guys hurriedly saluted again, "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
"What's your name, Lord Marquis? It doesn't matter if it's brother-in-law or elder brother. It's so affectionate to call someone from my family!"
Shen Tang lowered his attitude, and everyone in the Sheng family became even more respectful. The atmosphere was naturally warm and harmonious!
About half an hour later, a little maid came over from the backyard and said, "Second master, the eldest master asked my uncle to come over! In addition, the eldest master said that my uncle will have dinner in the house tonight. After the hour, let the whole family go. Let’s all go to Xihua Hall…”
"Okay, tell brother, we will arrive on time!"
"Niece-in-law, you go see your eldest brother first, and we'll talk later!"
Shen Tang nodded, and then headed towards the backyard under the gaze of everyone.
As for Sheng Xinghua, he also followed Shen Tang away.
After Shen Tang left, the second master Sheng Yongxue said to everyone, "I just told you, my niece and the Marquis have prepared gifts for each room.
We can't let the Marquis say that our family doesn't understand etiquette. After each room goes back, prepare a suitable gift in return and bring it to them when you go back."
"The Marquis is well-informed, so it doesn't matter whether the gift is expensive or not. What's important is the intention, and it should be given to his niece. In addition, the other wives and concubines of the Marquis are also indispensable in the return gift. Think about it carefully. Be more thoughtful.
In addition, you can put your name cards in the return gift. The Marquis is very thoughtful. If he can remember a few of your names, it will be a blessing for you!"
"He will be more eager to eat and drink in the evening. He is the Marquis and the son-in-law of our family. If you take good care of it, he will be a great help to the family in the future!"
Shen Tang and Sheng Xinghua followed the maid through the corridors and alleys to the main hall in the backyard!
The door of the hall was open, and Shen Tang, who was far away, looked inside and couldn't help but shudder! Without him, the situation here was exactly the opposite of what happened just now, all the women in the family were there! It turned out that Shen Tang was a foreign boy. , it was not appropriate to meet these unmarried sisters, but Sheng Yongde felt sorry for his daughter and wanted to get her husband's family closer to his own, so he specially sent a message to let everyone arrive.
Of course, the most important thing is that during the Tang and Song Dynasties, the atmosphere was actually relatively open. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism had not yet become popular. Although women were also reserved, they were still far from being able to leave the back door without leaving the door. situation.
Shen Tang's eyelids were twitching. As Sheng Xinghua entered the door, he glanced left and right. There were beautiful and charming women, as well as girls who had not yet left the court. All of them were much more attracted by the man just now.
"Dad, brother-in-law is here!"
Sheng Xinghua shouted.
Sheng Yongde was still leaning on the couch, holding his daughter and talking in a low voice, accompanied by several women. Even if Sheng Xinghua spoke, he had no intention of talking to Shen Tang.
The arrogance and dignity of the old father-in-law are most vividly displayed at this moment!
Shen Tang braced himself and bowed to the end, "Son-in-law Shen Tang, pay homage to my father-in-law!"
Sheng Yongde was still talking arrogantly to his daughter, until Lian'er couldn't bear the suffering of her husband and unobtrusively tugged on her father's beard. Sheng Yongde then sat up with a grin on his face.
"coming?
Get up! Meet your aunts and sisters!"
Seeing her brother-in-law's embarrassment, Sheng Xinghua hurriedly stepped forward to help introduce him, "Brother-in-law, this is the eldest aunt, the second aunt, the third aunt..."
I first met Sheng Yongde's three concubines, and then introduced, "This is the eldest aunt from the second uncle's family, the second aunt... This is the fifth aunt from the fifth uncle's family!"
After introducing the women, they introduced the little girls one after another, "This is the second sister...this is the thirteenth sister..."
The youngest one looks to be only one or two years old, and he still stumbles when he walks!
It took a full quarter of an hour for the introduction to be completed.
I don’t know whether it was because of Shen Tang’s identity or the reserve of being a woman. Although the women were polite to Shen Tang, they didn’t say much. As for the group of little girls, they huddled like quails in front of their mothers. or sisters, but from the curious looks they looked at Shen Tang, it could be seen that they were obviously very curious about this noble brother-in-law!
After chatting for a while, Sheng Yongde waved his hand and said, "For the Yong family, please take them back to the room first! In addition, Lian'er and this boy will stay at home to eat and keep an eye on them!"
Women and daughters of all sizes came to Shen Tang to greet him, and then walked out of the hall with a huff, leaving only Sheng Yongde's three-bedroom concubine. Shen Tang instantly felt that his mind was much clearer.
Although there are many women in the family, Shen Tang has never experienced such a battle...
"Girl, does this boy treat you well?
If it's not good, tell daddy directly! Dad doesn't care if he is a marquis or not. If he bullies my daughter, even if he can't afford to offend her, we will go back to live here! If nothing else, daddy can raise a good daughter for the rest of his life. rise!"
Shen Tang grinned and smiled bitterly, what can he say?
What do you dare to say?
However, Lian'er felt sorry for her husband after all, and looked at Shen Tang softly, "Dad, my husband treats his daughter very well, and the sisters in the house are also very harmonious. How can my daughter be bullied?"
Sheng Yongde groaned and felt sad. He had no choice but to think that his daughter was not of the same mind as him.
However, this is also his fault. If it hadn't been for that difficulty, how could his daughter have been separated from him for more than ten years?
Later, the old man took on the airs of his father-in-law and lectured him in various aspects. Shen Tang sat aside obediently and nodded vigorously.
Fortunately, there is a well-behaved girl like Lian'er to help, otherwise, Shen Tang might not be able to help but run away.
Finally, a maid came in and said, "Master, the table in front is ready!"
Sheng Yongde stopped talking and glared at Shen Tang fiercely before giving up.
Turning his head, an old face smiled like a flower, "My dear daughter, come on, let's go to dinner! My father has specially ordered me to cook what my good daughter likes to eat!"
Then, a group of people walked out of the door and headed towards Xihua Hall! Xihua Hall is a separate courtyard next to the main courtyard. Shen Tang and others arrived after passing through the hanging flower door, while people in other rooms Already arrived.
