Shen Beizong and the others were also laughing, and Old Madam Shen was so amused by this remark that she ate the lychee.
Is it sweet?
"It's sweet. My daughter-in-law peeled it herself, and my son fed it to me. How could it not be sweet?" Although Madam Shen is nearly seventy years old, she has a good attitude and takes very good care of herself.
Here, Chen Juanqing's tea is also ready.
"Grandfather, Aunt, please have some tea." The refined and noble young man offered the tea with both hands.
"Hmph," Old Master Shen snorted coldly, "Nan Yan, Zong Ge'er, Rong Jie'er, Ning Jie'er, Yu Ge'er, Qing Ge'er, the six of you come upstairs with me."
Gu Nanyan happened to be next to Old Master Shen and bent down slightly to help him.
With the six people going upstairs, the remaining dozen or so people felt a bit more relaxed.
"An'er, you and Nan Yan have been married for a year now, don't you plan to have a child?" Old Madam Shen patted Shen Beian's hand.
Shen Bei'an: Does this count as being persuaded to have a baby?
"Mom... why are you and Ayan in such a hurry? No rush." He tried to brush it off.
Madam Shen sighed, "You seem alright, but what about Nan Yan? Aren't your parents-in-law worried? When they were this age, Nan Yan and Nan Chen were already born."
He's the youngest son, so it doesn't matter to him.
But Gu Nanyan is the head of the Gu family. Her eldest son is a source of great anxiety not only for the Gu family but also for other families outside the family.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and the current matriarch of the Shen family, Luo Peilan, spoke up, "Mom, you don't need to worry. The eldest son will naturally have his own arrangements. If she's not in a hurry, what's the use of you asking your younger brother?"
"That's right! Mom, listen to what my sister-in-law has to say!" Shen Bei'an nodded repeatedly. It wasn't that he wasn't worried; it was just that Gu Nan'an was too patient.
The eldest daughter-in-law is from the Luo family in the political arena, the second son-in-law is the son of the He family in the military, the third son-in-law is the son of a collateral branch of the Ziya family, and the fourth daughter-in-law is the son of the Shi family.
Each of them came from an extraordinary background. The Shen family was an old and established family in the capital, with a complex and intertwined clan structure. The direct line was like a broad and thick tree trunk, unshakable by anyone.
The youngest daughter-in-law is still the one in charge of the Gu family.
"Besides, why are you urging me? You already have your grandchildren. You might as well talk to my nephews. Qingqing is a few months older than me. You're urging Qingqing, but he's been out of school for a long time and is still the eldest grandson of the Shen family." Looking at his nephews, even the youngest daughter of the eldest son's family was an adult, Shen Bei'an felt confident from who-knows-where.
“Even the youngest, Chan’er, is an adult now, not to mention Jing’er and Chi’er. Don’t you want to hold your great-grandchildren soon?”
Four generations under one roof, or even five generations under one roof—how many people dream of this?
The younger generation was just listening to their elders chat, perhaps even wondering what their uncles' and aunts' children would be like, when the conversation suddenly turned to themselves, which made things a little different.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Madam Shen turned her gaze to the two eldest younger members of the family.
Shen Beirong's eldest daughter, Shen Juanjing, one of the nine most talented painters in the capital, and Shen Beizong's second son, Shen Juanchi.
Shen Juanjing said repeatedly, "Grandmother, my brother has not yet discussed marriage, how can we be in a hurry?" The usually aloof beauty also showed some impatience. Although she already had someone she loved, it was not yet time to get married.
“Grandmother, what Second Sister said is true. My brother hasn’t even mentioned marriage yet. Why are we in such a hurry?” In order to avoid being forced into marriage, Shen Juanchi had no choice but to bring up Shen Juanqing.
