In modern times, Chen Yue is just a middle school student. Her innocence and ignorance of the world are very consistent with her character.

Of course Shen Jia didn't take it to heart. He looked at the others who looked like they were facing a great enemy, with a familiar smile on his face.

It was like watching a naughty child being unreasonable. "Sister Yue is still young, and it's normal for her to be deceived by a few words from outsiders. How could I be angry?

I believe that as I spend more time with my sister, she will understand me.”

Seeing Shen Jia speaking calmly, others felt that she was worthy of being the daughter raised in the Marquis' Mansion, and her etiquette and conversation were all exemplary.

Even Shen's mother had no time to comfort him. After hearing this, she began to feel sorry for Shen Jia. How did he grow up to say such things?

As for Old Madam Shen, she didn't believe a single word of it, but since Shen Jia and Shen Yue were both her own granddaughters, she couldn't say much.

Shen Yue's temper does need to be tempered, but I don't know what tricks the other granddaughter will use?

Mrs. Shen Er felt relieved when she heard Shen Jia's answer. This was the attitude a woman from a noble family should have.

My daughter has just learned from her father. She does nothing serious all day long. She has not learned anything a girl should learn. How can she get married in the future?

He smiled and said, "Jia Niang is indeed worthy of being a girl raised in the Marquis of Changle's Mansion.

Look at your elder sister, this is the demeanor that a lady from a noble family should have."

He poked Shen Yue's head with his finger, his eyes showing satisfaction with Shen Jia.

This time, Shen Yue was unwilling.

"Shua" shook off Mrs. Shen's hand and said in a crying voice:

“You only like big sister, no matter if it’s the current Shen Jia or the departed Shen Fu, you like them all and think others are better than me.

In that case, I won't be here to bother you!"

She grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran out of the door. Seeing this, the maidservant who served her hurriedly chased after her.

Madam Shen Er was shaken by this blow, and her body was unstable and fell straight onto the chair beside her. She did not react for a while.

The atmosphere in the room was once again tense. Shen Jia never expected that before he could even do anything to deal with the naughty kid, he would already be running away.

Mrs. Shen Er's expression changed again and again after she came to her senses. The anger in her heart was ignited all of a sudden. It seemed that she had to teach her daughter a lesson.

But she strictly abided by the rules of etiquette and bowed to Madam Shen to apologize: "It's all because I didn't teach Yue Niang enough on a daily basis, so this happened."

After saying that, he wanted to kneel down and apologize.

Song Ge, the maid serving beside Old Madam Shen, immediately supported her arms to stop her from performing the ceremony.

Old Madam Shen looked at the noisy scene, coughed lightly, and said, "You are not to blame for Yue Niang's temper. The second child has been like this since he was a child. It seems that I, as a grandmother, have not cared enough.

You should go and have a look too. Girls don’t need to shed so many tears when they are still at home.”

He waved his hand, signaling her to go find Shen Yue quickly. After all, it was almost time for dinner, and it would be a shame to be missing someone.

Mrs. Shen Er was not in a position to disobey the old lady's wishes, so she hurriedly bowed to Mother Shen and Shen Jia and hurried out.

Looking at the two wooden stakes still standing in front of the hall, Mrs. Shen felt mixed emotions. Such a big commotion had occurred as soon as she came back. It seemed that the days to come would be interesting.

"You two should sit down. I know what your mother means. It's a good opportunity for you to get acquainted with your family members while there are so many people here today.

As for the rest, I know you learned more than us in the Marquis' Mansion, so just follow the rules from now on."

Shen Jia thought: Why does this sound a little wrong?

But she still said: "My granddaughter still has many shortcomings, and I hope grandma can give her more advice."

Then he sat down below Shen's mother and listened to her discussing housekeeping matters with Old Madam Shen. The experienced Shen Jia would interject from time to time to liven up the atmosphere.

The atmosphere in the entire yard was no longer as solemn as before.

Soon it was time for dinner, and the sound of dishes colliding could be heard from the hall from time to time.

The room was gradually shrouded in darkness, and the flickering candlelight moved randomly across the face.

At this moment, a woman suddenly shouted:

"The master has entered and will be at Songhe Hall soon."

At this time, the footsteps in the dining hall became noticeably heavier, and the aroma of food gradually spread.

Shen Jia's attention was unconsciously drawn there, and he began to imagine: Will the food tonight be delicious?

The sound of orderly footsteps came from a distance, and Shen Jia unconsciously looked towards the door.

The first person to appear should be his grandfather, with a long beard and sharp eyes, looking very shrewd.

Following behind him were two men who looked very similar. Judging from their ages, one should be his biological father and the other should be his second uncle.

The only difference is their physiques. One has the traditional image of a weak scholar, while the other looks more robust.

The same was true for the two young men walking at the end. One of them didn't even look like a scholar at all. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a warrior.

But all five of them have one thing in common, that is, they are all extremely handsome, and they exude different charms at different ages.

No wonder my appearance is so outstanding. I think it is a family inheritance. I can sit in front of the bronze mirror for an hour or two without getting tired of it.

Shen Jia subconsciously touched his face.

A stranger suddenly appears and stands in front of you, with a fiery gaze that is impossible to ignore.

The grandfather, the head of the Shen family, sat on the chair, took a sip of hot tea, and said:

"I guess you are Jia Niang. I received the news from home while on duty at the Ministry of Works this morning.

Now that you're home, we're all blood relatives, so just stay home and don't worry."

Shen Jia looked directly into the other person's eyes and saluted in agreement.

Then Shen's mother no longer suppressed her excitement and began to introduce Shen Jia to the others.

"This is your father."

"Father, you are well!"

"Your second uncle, third uncle, and this is your biological brother from the same mother."

"Second uncle and third uncle are all well, brother is ok!"

After hearing the introduction, Shen Jia finally realized that the slightly frail ones were his father and brother.

The other is my second uncle who loves traveling and has built up a strong physique.

As for the one who looks most like a warrior, it is of course his third uncle. I heard that he doesn't like reading, but likes to wield guns and sticks, so now he is only a scholar.

Even Shen Jia's brother, who was two years younger than him, had a higher academic achievement than him and was already a juren.

The main reason is that my third uncle is the son that Mrs. Shen had in her old age, and she has always doted on him. Moreover, there are so many scholars in the family, and he is not the eldest son, so my grandfather does not have very high expectations of him.

Therefore, he just wanted to gain fame and spent the rest of his time studying his martial arts. This time he went to Beijing to find an opportunity to join the army.

In fact, only my grandfather was truly promoted during this trip to Beijing, from the previous Tongzhi of Hengzhou Prefecture to the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works.

Although both are of the fifth rank, there is a huge difference between Beijing officials and local officials.

As for her father and second uncle, they returned to Beijing to report on their work and to see if there were any vacancies. They also wanted to become officials in Shengjing.

Speaking of which, the Marquis of Changle was not just a fifth-rank Shaoqing of the Shangbao Division, and he had no real power. He just held an insignificant position based on his title.

If you really think about it, he might not even be as good as his grandfather, otherwise how could he think of selling his daughter?

After a busy day, everyone was hungry. Old Madam Shen looked at everyone's tiredness and reminded them:

"Everyone should have dinner first. You've been hungry all day. We'll still have time to get to know each other better later."

As he said this, he was about to urge his grandfather to have dinner. A group of people walked into the dining hall in a mighty manner. Just by looking at the color of their food, you could tell that it was very healthy.

Everyone sat down according to their status, and since they were all family members, there was no distinction between men and women.

Sitting next to Shen Jia were his brother and mother, and he looked very safe.

Then Mrs. Shen Er and Shen Yue also appeared here, but Shen Yue's face was obviously covered with a thick layer of makeup, and there was no trace of her crying. Only her eyes, which had not yet recovered, were slightly red, telling everyone that the scene just now was real.

At the dinner table, Shen's mother kept signaling to the maid behind her to put the dishes she liked into Shen Jia's bowl.

Looking at the mountain of light dishes in the bowl, Shen Jiashi swallowed them without tasting them.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Shen Jia only felt a faint tastelessness in his mouth. It seemed that the Tian Shengchao were accustomed to light meals, and as a modern person, it was really difficult for him to get used to it for a while.

After dinner, everyone returned to their own yard.

But after what happened today, Shen Jia felt that he needed to do something.

Ignoring the strange looks from others, he followed Mother Shen to her yard like a little tail.

As for Father Shen and Second Uncle, they followed their grandfather to the study, saying that they had something important to discuss.

Looking at Shen's mother's surprised expression, Shen Jia felt for a moment that her plan seemed a bit too much, but for the sake of her future life, she still opened her mouth.

"Actually, my daughter came here because she wants to trouble you with something."

Then he looked conflicted, biting his lips unconsciously.

"ah?"

In fact, Shen's mother was a little stunned at first, but she immediately became excited the next second. Isn't this a point where the relationship between mother and daughter is immediately sublimated?

She looked at Shen Jia nonchalantly and said, "You can ask anything. As long as it's something your mother can do, I will definitely help you achieve it."

Shen Jia's heart skipped a beat, and he continued:

"My daughter has been good friends with Xu Yuezhen from the Xu family, the richest man in Shengjing, since she was young. This time, she hopes that my daughter can partner with her and open a shop together.

It’s just that the daughter is a little short of money, so she wants to borrow some money from her mother. As long as the shop turns around, she will immediately return the money to her mother.

With the reputation of the Xu family behind her, she will definitely make a profit."

In fact, ever since his grandfather was appointed as the Minister of Works, it was impossible for Shen's father, as the eldest son, not to express his opinion in order to buy this house.

Moreover, the three officials in the court are all honest and upright people, and they don’t have much money saved. The current economic situation in the government is really bad.

Therefore, Mother Shen was silent for a while after hearing this.
