Everyone was here. When Chenqu came back to change his clothes, the eldest lady immediately ordered the kitchen to serve food.

In the Shen family, any food that appears in the table with a sinking canal must be very simple.

Because it is a welcoming banquet for the third bedroom, there is a rare dish of steamed fish and braised pork on the table, and the remaining four dishes are all vegetarian dishes.

Men and women eat at different tables. Chen Qingqing had already prepared for this family dinner and was still smiling. The next male table, the six-year-old Chen looked at the dishes and then at his majestic grandfather. Although he didn't complain, his chubby face had long been full of disappointment.

Chen Qu ignored it, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat."

As soon as he spoke, the three brothers Chen Tingwen picked up chopsticks at the same time, as if they were well-trained.

Among the grandchildren, Chen Zhuo, Chen Jin and Chen Su also ate in silence, only Chen Wang fiddled with the white rice in the bowl listlessly.

Chen Qu glanced at Yaosun.

Chen Wang lowered his head and didn't see it. Chen Tingwen suddenly felt a sudden heart and whispered to his son: "I've told you so many times. You must be dedicated to everything you do. Hurry up and have a meal. Shaodong is thinking about it."

The men in the Shen family were afraid of me, and Chen Wang was no exception. After being scolded, Chen Wang immediately picked up the bowl and started eating.

The male table only sounded swallowing. On the female table, the fifth girl Shen Jiarong was about to faint by Chen Qingqing's red agate earrings.

"Sister Seven, your earrings are so clear, it must be very expensive, right?" Shen Jiarong asked softly, glanced at the majestic grandfather who was diagonally opposite.

The eldest lady paused.

The second wife looked at Chen, and Chen continued to eat vegetables, as if she hadn't heard it.

Just when the second wife was worried that her niece would say the wrong thing, Chen Qingqing put down her chopsticks and smiled sweetly at Shen Jiarong: "It's okay, why, does the fifth sister like it? If you like it, I will give it to you, and it will be a gift that I haven't seen for many years."

Although Shen Jiarong envied Chen Qingqing, now that Chen Qingqing proposed to send her, Shen Jiarong felt that Chen Qingqing was deliberately ruining her.

"Sister Seven, you are polite. How can I win love with your things?" Shen Jiarong said with a forced smile.

Chen Qingqing: "It's okay, I still have two pairs of agate earrings. Let's give this pair to my sister."

After saying that, Chen Qingqing turned her head slightly, took off her two earrings, and handed them to Shen Jiarong with a smile.

Shen Jiarong swallowed.

She wants it.

On one side is full of expensive jewelry and on the other side is arrogant self-esteem. Shen Jiarong looked at his mother in embarrassment.

The eldest lady immediately said, "You are so kind to you, just accept it."

Shen Jiarong took it with her secret joy and reservedly.

Chen Qu naturally heard the conversation between the two granddaughters. He was satisfied with the generous friendship of his younger granddaughter, and finally realized that his younger granddaughter was dressed too eye-catching. He pursued frugality. Six of the seven granddaughters in the family all met with people with plain makeup. It was Xiaoqi's turn, and the rules could not be slacked off.

Thinking of this, Chen Qu looked at the little granddaughter at the next table with deep eyes. He met again after a long time of separation. He hoped that his granddaughter would understand his meaning and avoid an unpleasant warning.

Chen Qingqing seemed to be aware of something, raised her head and saw the old man looking at her. Chen Qingqing smiled and was so sweet.

Shenqu:...

Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow. Maybe my granddaughter will not be dressed like this tomorrow.

As a result, Chen Qu returned home the next evening and found that his little granddaughter was still wearing gold and silver, which was incompatible with the entire Shen family.

"Grandfather, this is the word I practiced today. How do you see?"

In the main courtyard hall, Chen Qingqing spread out a piece of rice paper with a serious expression. It was the small calligraphy she practiced today.

Chen Qu lowered his eyes and didn't see the words. He first saw the green jade bracelet on his granddaughter's wrist. Such a pair of bracelets could be sold for dozens of taels? This year, there have been disasters everywhere, and many people can only eat grass. Even if the third daughter-in-law is rich, she should keep money and do meaningful things. How can she indulge her children in luxury?

Chen Qu was born in a poor family. His family was so poor that he couldn't get rid of the pot. He was so poor that he would make up for one piece of clothing. Some poor people immediately ate and drank, but Chen Qu still maintained his frugal style when he was young. In Shen Qu's opinion, in this life, people can keep their food full and their clothes warm. There is no need to waste money on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Qingqing, you dressed like this when you were in Suzhou?" Chen Qu asked in a serious voice after pressing his granddaughter's words.

Chen Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and what should come is coming.

She stood up straight and replied guiltily: "Yes, the ladies and sisters I know over there are like this. Grandfather, I know that you are frugal, and my father and mother have also repeatedly told me not to spend too much effort on clothes and jewelry. But everyone has their own preferences. Some like to play chess and some like to play piano, so I like to dress myself up. If I don't let me wear good-looking jewelry and beautiful clothes, I will be particularly unhappy."

Speaking of this, Chen Qingqing pouted, glanced at the old man with apricot eyes, showing an extremely aggrieved look: "Grandfather, are you willing to make me sad?"

Shenqu:...

After a moment of silence, Chen Qu chose to avoid this question and said earnestly: "Qingqing, do you know how many people in our Great Zhou are now displaced and unclothed? Those people can't even eat, and your jewelry can be eaten and worn by a family of five for a lifetime. Think about these, do you still have the heart to spend a lot of money on these common things?"

Chen Qingqing bit her lip: "What grandfather meant is that my mother and I have to donate all the money in the family?"

Shenqu:...

He said seriously: "That's your mother's money, how could I interfere?"

Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "Since you don't interfere, we won't donate, but if you don't donate, it's even more wasteful to keep the silver in the warehouse and accumulate dust. It's better to spend it to make me happy, right?"

Chen Qu looked at his granddaughter's cunning face and said coldly: "You are quibbling. How can you behave when you dare to contradict your elders at such a young age? Qingqing, the Shen family is frugal. Your three brothers and six sisters can do it, why can't you?"

The old man was furious, but Chen Qingqing thought of grandmother's words.

Grandmother said that if she wanted to fight for something with her grandfather, she had to be tough to the end. Once she showed her timidity, she would be completely unable to turn over.

He raised his chin and Chen Qingqing said unconvincedly: "Brothers and sisters have other hobbies. I only love makeup. My grandfather is well-educated. Don't he understand the principle of teaching according to his aptitude?"

The little girl dares to talk back?

Chen Qu glared at his eyes and was really angry: "I am vain and improper, what is your father teaching you?"

After saying that, Chen Qu shouted outside the door: "Hu Cheng, call the third master over!"

Hu Cheng was the personal manager around Chen Qu. He didn't dare to delay when he heard this and left in a hurry.

Hearing Hu Cheng's footsteps leaving, Chen Qu looked at his granddaughter again, but was shocked to see the little girl's almond eyes with tears in her eyes and was about to fall to the ground to look at him.

"Grandfather scolded me, I'll go find my grandmother!" After confirming that the old man was crying when he saw her, Chen Qingqing flattened her mouth and ran away crying.

Shenqu:...

He taught his three sons to take care of more than ten grandchildren, and this Xiaoqi was the first one to dare to run away without permission!

"Come back!" Chen Qu yelled as he slapped the table.

But Chen Qingqing had already run away and no one paid attention to him.

Shenqu was so angry that he had always been the only one in this family, except...

The cold words of Song appeared in his mind, and Chen Qu's anger suddenly stopped. Wait, Xiaoqi just said where she was going?

Chenqu immediately walked out, walked to the door of the main hall, and remembered that he had sent someone to call Lao San.

He pursed his lips, and Chen Qu retreated with a tense face.

On the third room, Chen Tingwen had just returned from the Ministry of Revenue and was checking Chen Wang's homework. He heard that the old man called him, Chen Tingwen did not dare to delay, so he left his youngest son and went to see me.

On the way, Chen Tingwen asked Hu Cheng: "I don't know what my father called me?"

Hu Cheng and Chen Qu are similar to Chen Tingwen, and he also grew up after watching him. He quietly reminded him: "The master advised the seventh girl to be frugal, but the seventh girl refused to listen."

Chen Tingwen immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He was so evil. When he was in Suzhou, he couldn't control his daughter, and now he was going to be taken care of by the old man!

Since he knew what was going on, when he arrived at the main courtyard, Chen Tingwen knelt down to the old man on the main seat as soon as he entered the main hall, kowtowed and said, "Father, it's all my fault that my son is not strict in discipline. Even if he is arbitrary, his son knows that he is wrong, so he asks his father to punish him."

Chen Qu scolded: "You really should be punished. Look at how your two brothers taught their daughters. Which one is as luxurious as Qingqing?"

Chen Tingwen's shoulders were pressed down even lower: "My son is incompetent, so he will definitely discipline Qingqing strictly after he turns around."

Chen Qu was very angry, but his son was his father. He could no longer hit his son's palm or punish him to kneel on the ancestral hall.

"Qingqing is going to Tongyuan, please take her back quickly." Chen Qu said coldly.

Chen Tingwen responded repeatedly, and then hurriedly went to pick up his daughter.

Chen Qu sulked alone in the house.

Two quarters of an hour later, it was getting dark. Hu Cheng looked in and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you going to Tongyuan tonight? If you don't go, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare meals."

After Du's death, Chenqu stayed in Song's Tongyuan almost every night. Over time, the kitchen here became a decoration.

Chen Qu was so upset that he was about to find someone to talk about his son and daughter-in-law, and Song was his only choice. Moreover, Chen Qu also wanted Song to help manage his granddaughter. He was his grandfather, and the children were afraid of him. Their words were a little focused and what should I do if the little granddaughter, who was like a flower, cried?

After thinking about it, it is more appropriate for Song to come forward.

So, Chenqu went to Tongyuan in the darkness of night.

Song had just sent off his son and granddaughter, but when he heard that the old man was coming, Song not only did not welcome him, but instead sat in front of the dressing table.

Chen Qu came in and saw Song sitting with his back to him, holding a comb in one hand and slowly combing her long black hair. The room was so quiet that Chen Qu unconsciously took light steps and approached. He saw Song in the mirror, her eyes were empty, as if she was thinking about something.

Chen Qu coughed.

Song finally reacted and looked back. She said nothing and continued to speak in the mirror, with her eyebrows and eyes drooping.

Chen Qu asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Song was silent.

Chen Qu frowned. Just as he was about to ask questions, Song suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him through the mirror and asked, "Master, am I still beautiful?"

Shenqu:...

The old couple is already asking what they are doing?

When they met in the mirror, Chenqu saw Song's beautiful eyes. Perhaps it was not as shimmering as when they were young, but they were peaceful because of the years.

He instinctively turned around.

However, no matter how fast Shenqu turned, Song saw his quickly turned red face.
