Chapter 214 Brothers
Brother Hao knocked open the chestnut with great effort, and just about to put it in his mouth, he saw a cousin staring at him unblinkingly. Brother Hao blushed slightly, put down his hand, and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention here, he quickly split the chestnut in two and stuffed half into the cousin's mouth. The cousin grinned, covered his mouth with two small hands, and ate with a smile.

Brother Hao was also a little happy, and ate the other half into his mouth.

A nurse happened to be looking this way, so she hurried over and pulled away her cousin's hand, shouting, "Oh, what are you eating, Second Young Master, spit it out!"

After Brother Qian managed to spit out the chestnuts in his mouth, the wet nurse taught the little maids a lesson: "Why do you look at the second young master? Let him put everything in his mouth, if he chokes Let's see if Mrs. Tai won't beat you to death!"

Brother Hao shrunk in the corner with a slightly pale face, Brother Hao's nanny was a little angry when she heard such words, and was about to push back, the maid beside her pulled her sleeve and shook her head slightly.

Brother Hao's nurse had no choice but to hold Brother Hao in her arms to comfort her.

Liang Yimei just happened to come over, she frowned slightly when she saw her, and looked at brother Qian's nanny sharply, but turned her head and smiled and hugged brother Hao to her, touched his head and said: "This chestnut is given by brother Hao. Cousin Qian's?"

Brother Hao flinched a little, but his mother nodded boldly as she said that he was a man and shouldn't be timid.

Liang Yimei smiled even more gently, and said softly: "Brother Hao is a good boy, he knows how to take care of his cousin since he was young, and he will also take care of his cousins ​​in the future, you know?"

Brother Hao is seldom praised by others, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and with a smile on his face, he nodded fiercely and said: "In the future, I will take care of Cousin Qiao, Cousin Qian and Cousin Jin."

"Brother Hao is really good," Liang Yimei praised: "It's just that my cousins ​​are still young and can't eat hard things like chestnuts. Brother Hao shouldn't feed them these things in the future, okay?"

Brother Hao's face was a little gloomy, and he muttered: "But my cousin likes to eat..."

Liang Yimei nodded, "I know, but there are some things they can't eat now, like you can't eat too much corn candy."

Brother Hao thought for a while with a straight face, then nodded and said: "West candy is delicious, but mother said that eating too much corn candy will damage your teeth."

"Brother Hao is so smart." Liang Yimei touched his head and said, "Brother Hao, can you help my aunt watch over my cousins? They always crawl around when they play, I'm afraid they will fall on the bed go down."

Brother Hao's eyes were shining, but he nodded with a straight face, and said with his small chest: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely take good care of my cousins." As he spoke, he broke free from Liang Yimei's embrace, and ran to the right place to crawl around. Brother Jin who was going to go to prevent him from falling off the kang.

When Brother Jin saw the person who suddenly appeared beside him, he was a little dazed, and stopped his movements. He stared at Brother Hao for a while, and then continued to yell "Ah, ah", crawling all over the kang, mouth Li didn't know what he was shouting.

Brother Zhuo tremblingly leaned on the wall to stand up, the maid beside him was afraid that he would fall, so she used her arms to protect him, brother Brother Zhuo waved his hand to drive him away, but he couldn't hold on for a while, and fell back On the kang...

Brother Hao would accompany Brother Qiao for a while, run to Brother Jin and watch him crawl around for a while, and go to Brother Qian for a while, playing with toys with him...

Liang Yimei said to the servant girls who were waiting around: "Let the young masters play by themselves, you just need to watch them and make sure nothing happens to them."

The maidservants bowed their heads, and Brother Hao's wet nurse thanked Liang Yimei with a blessing.

In the hall, Mrs. Tai was pulling Mrs. Wang to talk, "... Husband and wife quarreled at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. You guys are fine. You have been going around for several years. When is this going to be?"

The smile on Hui Niang's face was a bit bitter, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Mrs. Tai sighed, "Sister-in-law is right, you two are really a pair of enemies, their men have a good face, we women don't have so many taboos, you and him will admit your mistakes later, and we will wait until the husband and wife get back together." It’s too late to say anything else!”

When Mrs. Tai saw Liang Yimei coming, she stopped talking and turned to ask her, "How are the children getting along?"

Liang Yimei said with a smile: "Brother Hao is really a good boy, he knows how to take care of his younger brothers at a young age."

Mrs. Tai laughed immediately, said three good times, and looked at Wang tauntingly, "It seems that Brother Hao is lonely by himself, you have to work harder and add a brother or sister to Brother Hao. of."

Liang Yimei looked at Wang with a smile, but was taken aback, she didn't see shyness from Wang's drooping face, only bitterness and sadness, Liang Yimei was a little surprised, but it was only a moment, she turned away The topic brought up the matter of the Shen family, "... Last time, my mother asked me to send medicinal materials to the ancestors of the Shen family. The health of our ancestors is getting better."

Mrs. Tai really let go of this matter, frowned and said: "She is an old birthday star in the capital. When she was young, she was vigorous and resolute. At that time, I followed my mother and listened to her things. She treated us juniors again. Well, her heart is relieved, even if she survived such a thing back then, who knows, at the end, at the end, but... Axia has done too much... If there are good medicinal materials at home You can just give them some, the Shen family has also suffered a lot in the past few years, although there are things like purple ginseng, the year must not be as good as what you sold."

The last time Mrs. Tai was ill, Liang Yimei took out a purple ginseng. Although she didn't know where it came from, she could tell that it was quite old, so she said this.

Hui Niang smiled gratefully at Liang Yimei, Liang Yimei was startled, smiled back at her, and respectfully responded to Mrs. Tai's words.

At this time, there were cheerful laughter from several children in the side room, and Mrs. Tai's melancholy dissipated immediately, she stood up and said, "You two cousins, have a good chat, I'll go and see the children."

There were laughter and laughter here, but the Shen family halfway across the city was a little gloomy, Master Shen felt that the atmosphere in the house was not right when he came back from the yamen for lunch, and seeing his wife frowning, he asked, "What's the matter? "

Mrs. Shen didn't want Elder Shen to worry about it. These few days, Elder Shen couldn't sleep all night because of court affairs, so why bother him with family affairs?He smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the gift giving on August [-]th, by the way, how is the matter with Prince Liangdi?"

"It's still going on these days," Elder Shen didn't give up. Although he usually doesn't care about the affairs of the inner courtyard, but now even the women in the garden walk carefully. Who will believe that nothing happened? "What's going on, it's too early to tell if it's solved, the officials in the capital are all watching outside the mansions."

Mrs. Shen sighed, and said in a low voice: "This morning, our ancestors will be able to speak..."

Elder Shen was overjoyed at first, then frowned.

Sure enough, Mrs. Shen continued: "As soon as I woke up, I called the person at the door to set up the car. She was going to withdraw this marriage from the Fan family. I kept persuading her, but for some reason, the old lady happened to come to help her." Greetings from the old ancestor, before saying a word, the old ancestor threw a teacup over..."

"It's also fortunate that the eleventh brothers and sisters saw the opportunity and sent all the servants out. There were only a few people in the room. I heard in the kitchen that they didn't even care about the medicine of the ancestors. They ran away in a hurry. Ma'am, I don't know what to do."

Grandpa Shen's face sank like water, "How are the ancestors and the old lady doing now?"

Mrs. Shen gave her husband a sympathetic look, and said: "The old lady passed out, but the ancestor can eat a bowl of porridge."

The old ancestor said very well, saying that marrying a wife should marry a virtuous person. Her biggest mistake back then was marrying such a wife to her eldest son.

Of course Mrs. Shen did not dare to say this sentence to Master Shen. Although she also felt that the old ancestor was correct to a certain extent, the old lady was the old lady's biological mother after all. The old ancestor said this well, and she But it can't be relayed!

Grandpa Shen didn't even take off his official uniform, and ran directly to the ancestor's yard.

The courtyard was quiet, Grandpa Shen entered the house unhindered, Shen Qiniang was feeding the old ancestor, when she saw him coming in from the house, she quickly got up and saluted.

Elder Shen walked up to Mrs. Shen Shiyi and paused for a while, and looked at her with some dissatisfaction, but Mrs. Shen Shiyi didn't even look at him, she just bowed her head to salute him. When it comes to cotton, it's a little weak.

When the ancestor saw him, he waved to him slightly, and Grandpa Shen hurried forward.

The old ancestor's mouth was still crooked, but he still said with difficulty: "Come...to persuade...to...the marriage...to, to withdraw..."

Grandpa Shen saw that Qiniang standing beside him didn't show any expression, and he felt even more dissatisfied immediately, but he nodded to his ancestor with a smile on his face and said: "Don't worry, ancestor, I will leave these matters to my grandson, you, just take good care of yourself." ah!"

After persuading the old ancestor some words, seeing that she was a little tired, he helped her to lie down, got up and signaled Mrs. Shen Shiyi and others to follow him out.

Master Shen looked at their mother and daughter with some dissatisfaction, and said: "Eleventh siblings, grandma has already done this because of Qiniang's matter, I think it's better not to bother grandma anymore, don't say that this marriage is between aristocratic families Marriage, even ordinary people's families, can't just quit if they just quit."

As soon as Mrs. Shen entered the courtyard, when she heard her husband say this, she was so anxious that her mouth was bubbling. This marriage is the rebellion of the eleventh brother and sister. Didn't the master offend the eleventh brother's house by saying this?

Mrs. Shen Shiyi laughed back angrily, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Uncle is right, it is our Qiniang's fault that the old ancestor has become like this, it is not good for anyone to ask her to be engaged to someone, but she just married someone in the capital." Was it engaged by the famous prodigal son?" Turning around, she yelled at Shen Qiniang: "Quickly kneel down to your uncle, and say, who told you to make this marriage to ruin your ancestors?"

Shen Qiniang knelt down on the ground with a "plop" without moving her eyes.

Shen Shiniang glared at Elder Shen.

Grandpa Shen fell backward in anger, but couldn't say a word.

Mrs. Shen didn't care too much, she stepped forward to pull Shen Qiniang up and said: "Good boy, get up quickly, brother and sister, your elder brother didn't explain this matter clearly, he is also in a hurry, there are many things in the court these days, but grandmother Just got better, and my mother fell ill again, so don’t take it to heart.”

Elder Shen also knew that he was a little hasty in what he said just now, but he still had a bad complexion and turned his head aside.

Mrs. Shen Shiyi also knew that the quarrel should not be too rigid. Shen Shiyi only had two older brothers. Shen Liu could not count on him, as long as he didn't cause trouble for them. Mr. Shen was taught by the old lady himself. Yi, this younger brother is still loved, and she and her sister-in-law get along well. If Shen Shiyi does not return to the capital in this life, he will have to be taken care of by this elder brother in the family, so he doesn't want to make the relationship too rigid.

Thinking about it, she forced out a smile, bowed her knees and said: "Don't blame uncle, my sister-in-law is also in a hurry these days."
