011 The Enemy Meets
Everything is inferior, but only reading is high.
This is the best era for scholars. If you want to study, you still have expectations for yourself. You must know that studying is much more comfortable than doing hard work.
Besides, I just surrendered to Chen Fang, so I can't push Chen Fang's kindness.
At this time, the butler stepped forward and said, "Old lady, the kitchen says dinner is ready."
The old lady thought about it and then ordered: "The weather is good tonight, and there are no outsiders. We are all dining in Shaoyao Garden, and it will be lively."
Chen Fu responded and immediately stepped down to make arrangements.
So, under the leadership of the old lady, the people from the Chen Mansion began to walk towards Shaoyao Garden.
"Brother Wen, you don't recognize the way, let's go together." Chen Fang helped the old lady to set off first, Shen Lang walked over with a smile and said enthusiastically on Shen Wen's shoulder.
It's a completely familiar personality.
The little fat man Chen Xi looked at Shen Wen with some pride, and without saying anything, he walked straight forward. Zhang Yucai and Du Mingjian followed behind like the two generals of Hun and Ha, while Chen Hui, Chen Xu and Chen Jie followed Shen Lang.
It is obvious that the children here are divided into two factions, the eldest son Chen Xi and two cousins, and the children in Chenfang's room have become another faction. Shen Lang intends to show his goodwill, and this is in the lashantou.
Follow Shen Lang, walk through the Bangheyuan, Dianshui Pavilion, and then pass through the plum garden to the Shaoyao Garden.
Shaoyao Garden is actually a small garden, which planted many peony that the old ladies like, so it is called Shaoyao Garden. In addition to peony, it also planted many strange flowers and plants, which are cared for by special people and are clean and tidy.
"Xiaolang, are there so many people every time I eat here?" Shen Wen asked in surprise.
The old lady, Chen Fang and his wife, Chen Xi, Shen Lang and other grandchildren, and grandchildren, more than 20 people, are very popular when they eat.
"Not that, it's also the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month and important festivals. I only have dinner together. On weekdays, I send my maids to the kitchen to pick up food, eat by myself, and eat whatever I cook in the kitchen. If I want to order something, I just want to tell the second housekeeper, but the food must be paid by myself. When my ancestors eat, they like to eat with us young people. They will go with her to eat with her. Forget it, you will know in the future."
Shen Wen responded to express his understanding.
While talking, Shen Lang was about to pull him down, and this was the old lady's close maid Xiaoyue who walked away and said, "Master Lang, Master Wen, the old lady asked you to go over and sit down."
"Okay, Sister Xiaoyue, I'll go now." Shen Lang was overjoyed when he heard this, and pulled Shen Wen's clothes and said, "Brother Wen, please let's go, let's go with our ancestors."
Shen Wen followed Shen Lang to turn the table and asked the old lady and Chen Fang, and then sat next to Shen Xi.
There are many rules for wealthy families. They always have to say hello. Even if they sit on the table and eat, they cannot sit around randomly. For example, eating now is divided into three levels, such as the old lady sitting in the chief, Chen Fang, the second wife Chen Cui, and the eldest son and grandson Chen Xi, who are the highest-ranking Chen Mansion.
Needless to say, the old lady has a unique status in the Chen Mansion. Chen Fang is the head of the family, and Chen Cui is equivalent to the chief official of the internal affairs. She takes care of the affairs of the Chen Mansion. Chen Xi is the eldest son and grandson of the Shen Mansion, so they can sit in the chief. Shen Wen surrendered on the first day, and the situation is somewhat exceptional. Now he is still a guest, so the old lady ordered him to attend the seat.
As for Shen Lang, he called him over by the way.
There were three seats tonight. In addition to the old lady, the second seat was the man from Chen's house and the grandson who came here to send a study. The last seat was the side room in Chen's house. The concubines and other women took their children to eat together.
Clear class.
After sitting down and talking for a while, the dish had not yet been served, the sharp-eyed Shen Lang suddenly pointed to the garden gate and said, "Mom, look, my cousin is back."
Shen Wen turned his head and was amused. There were two cute little heads at the door of Shaoyao Garden, looking around sneakily. The leader was Lin Ruolan, who had been pestering him and had set up a trap for him these days.
No wonder I haven't seen her here for a long time. It turns out that I've only come back now.
I guess I heard that I had a dinner here after I came back, so I rushed over.
Chen Cui also saw his niece at this time. Seeing Lin Ruolan's dodging look, he shouted angrily: "Xiaolan, come here."
This niece in her family is so naughty. Women don’t do female red embroidery in the room, nor do they like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They run out like tomboys every day. Shen Cui has no choice but to treat her niece.
After being discovered by his aunt, Lin Ruolan secretly stuck out her tongue, then lowered her head and walked over with helplessness.
After Shen Wen was picked up by the butler Chen Fu, Lin Ruolan wanted to see what happened, but on the way she heard that the silk shop had dropped prices today, so she hesitated and took Qing'er to pick silk and satin. As a result, she didn't pick the silk and satin that she liked. She was too late to return home, mainly because she didn't expect that the Shen Mansion would have a dinner together today.
Today is not the fifteenth day of the first day of the lunar month, nor is it a special day.
Everyone came to have a dinner party, and Lin Ruolan didn't dare to stop. She wanted to sit down secretly, but she didn't expect that the sharp-eyed Shen Lang would see it.
"Hello, old lady, hello, aunt, uncle." Lin Ruolan walked to the table and immediately saluted respectfully.
"You kid, don't come back early, don't be too playful next time." The old lady had a good impression of Lin Ruolan, who was obedient and understanding, and laughed and scolded when she heard this.
Lin Ruolan said respectfully: "Thank you for your teachings."
The old lady is easy to talk to, but Chen Cui did not intend to let this naughty niece go. He deliberately said with a cold face: "Women are not more restless and run around all day long. You will be punished to be a two-point female celebrity tomorrow. If you don't do it well, you will be punished."
"Okay, it's not a big deal. Xiaolan, go back to have dinner first." Chen Fang, who was standing beside him, spoke.
The head of the family spoke. Chen Cui, who wanted to speak a few more words, glanced at her husband with some dissatisfaction, and finally chose to keep silent.
This is a public place, and the husband needs to give him face, and the old lady is still staring at him.
She was a little unhappy on the surface, but Chen Cui was still very happy. To be honest, Lin Ruolan was her niece, but for the Chen Mansion, it was rare that the old lady was ignored. Chen Fang was even more pampered with this niece than herself.
"Yes, uncle." Lin Ruolan was secretly happy and turned around and prepared to leave.
Wait, just when Lin Ruolan was about to leave, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She turned her head inadvertently and saw that her beautiful eyes suddenly became the boss: Shen Wen was sitting opposite him, looking at him with a smile, and seeing that he discovered him, he actually blinked at him.
Is this, provocation?
When the enemy met, they were extremely jealous. When they saw Shen Wen, Lin Ruolan couldn't control her emotions and pointed at him suddenly and said, "Damn little thief, why are you here?"
Lin Ruolan was so angry that she had never suffered a loss before. When she met Shen Wen, she lost money twice in a row. When she followed Shen Wen, she also made Shen Wen tease her in every way, which had accumulated too much dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, when she saw Shen Wen sitting here, she was feeling a little out of control on the spot.
What's going on? How could a greedy, shameless and vulgar person sit here and have dinner with the old lady, uncle and uncle?
What, little thief?
What happened? No one expected that the second wife's nephew Sheng would be so angry when she saw Young Master Wen. For a moment, everyone present was shocked by the incident.
What exactly happened?
This girl has a really hot temper and actually attacks herself in front of so many people.
Shen Wen seemed to be "scared" and stood up and bowed and said, "It turned out to be Miss Lin, I misunderstood. I think you misunderstood."
Lin Ruolan was about to refute, but Chen Cui, who was standing beside him, could no longer sit still, turned his head and shouted to Lin Ruolan: "Xiaolan, stop talking, it's enough."
