Chapter 160: Urging Marriage
Father and Mother Shen are really generous!
They each received two thousand taels of silver notes, and in addition, a few silver ingots and some gold peanuts were stuffed in the red envelopes.
"Master and mistress are so generous. They gave us so much."
Shen Shixu looked at their happy faces and reminded them, "When the Chinese New Year comes, you go to pay them New Year's greetings, and you will receive more New Year's money than this!"
Upon hearing this, An Chengyu raised her hand happily and said, "Then during the Chinese New Year this year, I will definitely come early to wish Master and Master a Happy New Year."
Jiang Bin also nodded and said, "On the New Year's Day, I slept at my master's house, and greeted my master and his wife early the next morning."
Shen Shixu looked at the two men talking nonsense, shook his head helplessly, and held Xiao Jinyi's hand tightly, feeling that it was a good thing that his wife was a steady person.
The carriage stopped after half an hour. When Shen Shixu and the others got off the carriage, they saw Jiang Miaokong and Song Zhuoyang waiting at the gate of the mansion.
As soon as Shen's father and mother stood firm, they saw a well-matched couple standing in front of them. They bowed to them and said, "Miaokong and her husband Zhuoyang are here to meet Master and Grandma. I wish Master and Grandma always smile and have good fortune."
Father and Mother Shen were blessed by four handsome children in a row, and the smiles on their faces never faded. In addition to the birth of the two children, Shen Shixu High School's top scorer and Xiao Jinyi's visit, they were the happiest today.
The servants unloaded the things from the car, while the host went into the dining hall to chat and eat.
The gifts that An Chengyu and the others had prepared could finally be given away. The snacks, tea, and silk were the most fashionable at the moment, and Shen's father and mother liked them very much.
Jiang Miaokong and Song Zhuoyang did not prepare the same thing as them, but made things by themselves. They could not compare with An Chengyu and Jiang Bin, who had no shortage of money.
So I thought of making something by myself and giving it to Mr. and Mother Shen, as a token of their appreciation.
So he gave Shen's mother a peach wood auspicious cloud hairpin carved by Jiang Miaokong, and Shen's father got a recliner made by Song Zhuoyang. The two of them put a lot of effort into making it, and there was not a single barb on it.
Father Shen particularly liked the recliner. As soon as Song Zhuoyang moved it over, he couldn't wait to lie on it. "Oh, this is so comfortable, Zhuoyang, you have great craftsmanship!"
Seeing that he liked it, Song Zhuoyang forced a smile on his face.
Mother Shen also liked the peach wood hairpin very much. She held it in her hand and touched it for a few times, then put it on her head. She raised her hand and touched it from time to time, which showed that she liked it very much.
Then he took out two red envelopes from his sleeves and handed them to Jiang Miaokong and Song Zhuoyang respectively. When the two refused, he said, "How can you not accept them? This is a meeting gift from your master and I. Your two senior brothers also have some."
Jiang Miaokong looked at An Chengyu and Jiang Bin, and only took it after seeing them nod.
After giving the gifts, they naturally sat down to eat. Shen Zexi held the chopsticks and waited for them to sit down and eat together!
Mr. and Mrs. Shen started eating first, and then the others followed. It was already past noon, and everyone was very hungry. They buried their heads in their food, and only after they were full did they drink tea and chat while digesting the food.
As they chatted, they talked about Shen Zexi. Mother Shen held the tea in both hands, looked at Shen Zexi with a worried face and said, "Zexi, your brother is going to get married next month. As a brother, don't you have any ideas?"
Shen Zexi, who was cracking melon seeds, could not understand what his mother meant, but he deliberately misinterpreted: "What do I think? Of course I want to beat Xiao Jinyi up, for kidnapping my brother so early.
We haven't arrived yet, but he has already chosen a date for the wedding. If we arrive later, he might have already brought in the betrothal gifts. ”
Xiao Jinyi, who was peeling peanuts for Shen Shixu, hid his head behind Shen Shixu. Shen Shixu found it funny, but still leaned towards him to cover him.
When Shen's mother saw that he was talking about something else, she slammed the table, which scared An Chengyu and the others. Shen's mother saw that she scared them, so she quickly softened her expression and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Auntie is not targeting you."
An Chengyu and the others nodded obediently, eating nuts while watching Shen's mother urging Shen Zexi to get married.
"Don't try to fool me here. You know what I mean. You are not a child anymore.
Don't be so obsessed with money all the time, just making money and not considering your own lifelong affairs at all.
If you don't think about yourself, please think about me and your father!
People of our age already have grandchildren, but we don’t expect to have them. We just want to see you get married.
You won't even fail to satisfy such a small request of ours, will you? ”
Shen Zexi was quite troubled when he heard this and said, "Marrying a wife is not like going to the street to buy Chinese cabbage. You can just buy two heads at random. I have to find one that I like anyway!"
"Of course we hope that you can find someone you like, just like your brother, but the prerequisite is that you have to take action to find someone. What's the point of just talking about it?
Do you still want to stand there and wait for your wife to come to you? ”
Mother Shen became more and more angry as she spoke, “Before, your father and I were thinking that you probably wouldn’t ask me and your father to plan your marriage for you, and we were only worried about Ah Xu.
I didn't expect that Ah Xu found a husband for herself without saying a word, and didn't even bother letting me have sex with your father.
But you make me unable to sleep every night because of my worry. ”
When Father Shen heard this, he whispered to her, "Madam, how come I don't know that you have insomnia? I remember that you sleep so soundly every night!"
Father Shen felt that he spoke very quietly, but everyone present was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared.
Even if someone can't hear, there are people who can help translate in real time.
And Shen Zexi relied on his years of understanding of his mother to say, "Mom, don't coax me, your sleep quality is better than mine, how could you be so worried that you can't sleep?
I have kept your worries in mind. Don't worry, after my younger brother's affairs are finished, I will go out to find a wife and will bring one back for you before the New Year. ”
Mother Shen nodded in satisfaction when she heard this, “That’s more like it, otherwise you’d be the only bachelor in the room.”
When Mother Shen said this, Shen Shixu couldn’t help but lowered his head and laughed twice.
But Shen Zexi is not the only bachelor in this room. He and Xiao Jinyi are a couple. Shen's father and mother are an old married couple, and Jiang Miaokong and Song Zhuoyang are even more sweet.
An Chengyu is just a little kid, and even Jiang Bin, it is said that the eldest princess has taken a fancy to a noble lady, and the two are in contact.
Shen Zexi heard his laughter and couldn't help rolling his eyes. Everyone in this room had a partner, which made him look out of place.
