Mr. Quan, please take care

Chapter 442 Intrigue at the banquet, fighting in wine

The four members of the Erfang family talked and laughed, and came slowly.

In previous years, the three sons and daughters of the big house were also very warm. Shen Qian accompanied the old man and occupied the best position. This is the treatment given to heirs. Shen Ru is gentle, dignified and radiant, while Shen Yan is lively and playful, chattering and active atmosphere.

No matter how much Shen Chunjiang and Yang Lan usually treat each other like guests, on this day, they will be very affectionate in front of the old man, the second room and all the juniors.

Now, Shen Ru and Chen Yan are not here, and there is an extra Shen Wei with an embarrassing background.

Although Shen Qian was still standing by the old man's side, his formerly high-spirited face now had a ray of depth.

As for Shen Chunjiang and Yang Lan, shoulder to shoulder, harmonious and affectionate, at first glance there is no difference from previous years.

But if you look carefully, you will find that although Yang Lan is smiling, there is reluctance in his eyes.

"Grandpa, grandson wishes you New Year's greetings!" Shen Rang walked in front of the seat, and when he saw Shen Zongming, he immediately turned on the smiling face mode, and the corners of his mouth almost grinned to the back of his head.

Let alone kneeling, there is no coyness at all.

Sure enough, Shen Zongming's smile widened, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "Okay, get up, how long do you want to kneel?"

As he spoke, he took out the red envelopes he had prepared in advance and handed them over.

Shen Rang accepted it with a smile, and ran to the old man like a monkey: "Thank you!"

"This accent..." Surprise flashed in Shen Zongming's eyes.

"Oh, it's not that I've been in Jingping for half a year, and I'll be fine with it!" Shen Rang said easily, with a playful smile on his face.

But I don't know which string in the old man's heart was touched, and a flash of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, thinking that he was in Jingping Shen's house back then...

It is also fluent in Beijing movies, young and flamboyant, and unrestrained.

Shen Zongming's speech now still has a Beijing flavor, which is completely different from Ningcheng's local accent.

"Well, it won't hurt to learn more, you have this idea, very good!"

Shen Rang grinned, his eyes full of triumphant smiles.

Shen Yu had a panoramic view of his expression, and couldn't help but curl her lips.

Speaking of this cousin, he was an extremely domineering master in his previous life, and even He Huai, a veritable playboy, had to give way to him.

On the same timeline, four years earlier, Shen Yu thought he could still be saved, but unfortunately... not everyone has such a thing as IQ.

Shen Rang used the Beijing dialect to attract attention, and his method was very good, which was just right for the old man.

But before the play was over, he was overjoyed, as if he was at the end of the show.

Even Shen Yu could tell that it was because of that smug little expression, let alone Shen Zongming, who was old and refined?
Sure enough, the smile on the old man's face gradually subsided, and finally returned to his usual majesty and coldness.

What's funny is that Shen Rang was unaware of this series of changes, immersed in the joy of being praised before, smiling like a second child.

Shen Wei: "..."

Sometimes being big is a blessing.

"Dad, brother." Shen Chunting hugged his wife and came forward, calling softly with a smile.

Wei Mingxin followed suit, calling for others, as if a husband and wife followed each other.

"Well," Shen Zongming nodded slightly, "It's all here."

"And me, Grandpa!" Shen Jing jumped from the back to the front, her smile was as quiet as water, yet clever and cute.

Then he bent his legs, knelt on the ground, softly said a few auspicious words of New Year's greetings, and received a big red envelope from Shen Zongming.

"Thank you grandpa!"

"Well, good boy."

Next, Shen Qian and Shen Yu paid homage one by one, and got a red seal.

As for the exact amount, it can only be counted in private.

"Hey! I'm all worshiped? I didn't come too late, did I?" Shen Chunhang's clear and warm voice came from the entrance.

The man took off the scarf and hung it on the coat rack, then changed into the slippers prepared by the servant, and strode towards the living room.

"Spring Air..."

"Third brother..."

"Uncle!"

Everyone is calling him.

When Shen Zongming saw his youngest son, a look of obvious joy flashed in his eyes, and he feigned anger: "I'm late for the reunion dinner, it's outrageous!"

"I stayed up late last night to catch up on a paper, and I slept a little late. I will punish myself with three drinks when I go to the table later."

Now the old man stopped pretending, and gave him a white look, but there was a bit of distress in it: "It's staying up late again, and drinking as a fine, do you still want this body?!"

"I want it." Shen Chunhang's smile didn't change.

"How is your stomach? Did you go to the hospital for reexamination on time?"

"The doctor said that there is no serious problem, just pay attention to the taboo."

"Then give me a break! Cut back on smoking and drinking!"

Shen Chunhang touched his nose, he has become very regular during this time, especially in terms of diet.

According to the previous agreement, Miao Miao came to cook him a meal every Saturday and started working half a month ago.

If she has nothing else to do, Zhou Tian will also come to his apartment.

Of course, lunch and dinner are all inclusive.

Shen Chunhang discovered that the chubby little girl is a treasure, not only has good cooking skills, but also a gentle personality, the key is that the three views are consistent and the two can chat together.

Seeing that his stomach is not good, Miao Miao cooks some soup that nourishes the stomach from time to time. Once he makes a big pot, it is enough for him to drink for two or three days.

Shen Chunhang thought in his heart, that "buy" back then shouldn't be too cost-effective!

Just a few words of news, change to a meaty little cook, and make a lot of money.　
Since Shen Chunhang was unmarried, after the Chinese New Year greetings, he also received the red envelope like a junior, so the old man inevitably took advantage of the problem, "Don't delay after the new year, let your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law help you find a candidate, and settle the marriage as soon as possible."

When Wei Mingxin heard this, she immediately agreed, "That's good! I know quite a few wives and wives. Most of their daughters and nieces are unmarried. Not only are they beautiful, but they also have rich family backgrounds. They are just right for us on the Spring Festival! What do you think, sister-in-law?" ?”

Yang Lan was called out suddenly, and it took her a while to realize: "...Well, Chunhang is handsome, and he is also a cultural person. Nowadays, young girls like this type. When choosing, you can choose carefully."

"Sister-in-law is right. But..." Wei Mingxin's eyes flickered slightly, "It seems that your complexion is not very good, and you are in a trance. Are you feeling unwell?"　
"It doesn't matter, I'm just a little tired from the busy work these two days. The older I get, the less useful I am." Yang Lan smiled, her manners were gentle, and the aura of the Shen family's daughter-in-law immediately flowed out.

Before Wei Mingxin could respond, the old man spoke first: "The eldest daughter-in-law has worked hard these few days, and it's all up to her to arrange things inside and out."

Yang Lan smiled gently: "Dad, you're offended by saying that. These are what I should do, and I dare not take credit for it."

Shen Zongming's eyes showed satisfaction: "Our family will be rewarded for its merits, and punished for its deeds. It is clear and clear. The second daughter-in-law also learned a little bit. To set up a family, you have to be like a hostess, and you can do it for your husband. Get rid of worries."

After Shen Chunting moved out of the old house, the three brothers of the Shen family were separated.

She doesn't live with the old man, and doesn't have to look up and down with Yang Lan, a sister-in-law. Wei Mingxin is like a bird released from a cage, living freely and carefree.

For this reason, she often showed off in front of Yang Lan.It's better to be the master of your own family than to be oppressed by the old man at an old age.

But Yang Lan didn't like her every time, and there was no envious look on her face, she just said: "I am the eldest daughter-in-law, and my every move represents the entire Shen family, so naturally I am not as leisurely as you. But everyone has his own ambitions, and you like to lock yourself up I come here to live a small life, but I am willing to work hard for the big family, it doesn't matter whether I am high or low, I just pursue differences."

"Although the poor family is free, it is not as decent, prosperous and respected as the family of Zhongming Dingshi. What do my brothers and sisters think?"

The implication is that you, Wei Mingxin, are only worthy of being a poor, poor, ignorant village woman!

Insinuating that she came from a low background and her vision is narrow.

Of course Wei Mingxin couldn't stand this kind of humiliation, so she took the opportunity to put eye drops on Yang Lan and make her trip up.

It's a pity that this time, he missed another move, not only failed to expose Yang Lan's shortcomings, but also created an opportunity for her to sell herself and boast, and use the old man to turn against the army.

Really exasperating!

Wei Mingxin can ignore Yang Lan, but she has to worry about the old man.After being scolded for a while, he had to accept it submissively, and kept saying yes.

Yang Lan's mood that had been gloomy for several days suddenly improved, and she raised a meaningful smile at the sister-in-law.

To fight with her, the one surnamed Wei is still far behind!
"Okay, since everyone is here, let's have dinner."

Shen Zongming gave an order, and everyone rushed into the dining room.

Although Yang Lan's previous remarks were suspected of being a confession, she did put a lot of thought into this New Year's Eve dinner.

The three-meter-long table was paved with red velvet and satin, and each seat was lit with red candles. The cups and plates were brightly lit, and there was a faint glow under the warm orange light.

There are a total of 66 dishes, implying six or six Dashun.

Meat dishes and vegetarian dishes each account for half, implying fairness and integrity.

For a large family, I believe that nothing is more important than smoothness and fairness.

Shen Zongming caught the first chopsticks, and the others dared to make a move.

Shen Yu was arranged to sit next to Shen Qian. If Shen Ru was still there, then this should be her place.

Yang Lan looked this way several times, her eyes filled with sadness and hatred. If she could, she wished she could throw Shen Wei off the table and throw it out.

However, no if.

At first, the atmosphere at the table was not very lively. After all, there was an old man present. After three rounds of drinking, the men, including Shen Zongming, drank too much.

Shen Chunjiang got up with Yang Lan, and the husband and wife made a toast to the old man.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Chunting brought Wei Mingxin, compared to the well-behaved couple of Dafang, the two said some festive words, which made the old man laugh out loud.

Wei Mingxin cast a provocative look at Yang Lan, but the latter didn't even look at her.

Angry!
Then came Shen Chunhang, a bachelor, without a wife to take with him, so he came forward alone, "Dad, happy new year."

"Ahang, settle down early."

As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son.

Shen Chunhang was owned by Shen Zongming when he was 45 years old. At that time, Mingda Group was already on the right track.

Therefore, Shen Zongming didn't need to spend almost 24 hours a day at work like before, and he began to have the leisure to pay attention to the growth of this old man during pregnancy and after birth.

The first B-ultrasound, the first fetal movement, the first opening of eyes, the first turning over...

And these were never experienced in the first two sons.

Therefore, Shen Zongming's feelings for his youngest son are very different.

In addition, Shen Chunhang has two older brothers in front of him. If there is no accident, he will not be able to get in touch with the power center of the group in the future. Therefore, Shen Zongming's sympathy and love for him are a little bit more, which is a great compensation meaning.

Shen Chunhang grew up to six years old, not only handsome in appearance, but also showed agility and intelligence far surpassing children of the same age.

For this reason, Shen Zongming specially took him to do a test, and the results proved that the IQ level of his youngest son is indeed far higher than that of ordinary people. If he is trained well, he is likely to become a senior research talent in the future.

As for Shen Chunhang, from the time he was in primary school until he graduated from high school, he never let others take the first place in the exams he took.

Shen Zongming has a bright old face and thinks that his youngest son is a genius, so he values ​​him more and more.

Perhaps Shen Zongming, who never remarried after the death of his original partner, insisted on marrying his biological mother to let Shen Chunhang's background not be criticized. While giving her the status of mistress, he also gave his youngest son an upright identity. .

As expected, Shen Chunhang was excellent academically. Although he could not inherit the family business, his own fame and influence were greater than those of his two elder brothers.

Originally, everything was perfect, but as time went by, Shen Chunhang's delay in getting married became the old man's heart disease again.

That's why I told my face, and told me thousands of times.

"Don't worry, I know."

Almost every time Shen Chunhang used this sentence to perfuse his father, Shen Zongming sighed, whatever, let him go.

After the children's respect, it's the grandchildren's turn.

Shen Qian, the eldest grandson, took the lead, "Together."

Shen Yu was slightly stunned, and it took two seconds to realize that he was talking to himself: "?"

"Let's toast together."

Shen Zongming is so old that he can't drink too much wine, so when Shen Chunjiang and the others paid respects before, they were all in the form of husband and wife, so that the old man only had to drink one glass.

Now it's the grandchildren's turn, so naturally they won't drink one-on-one.

It was normal for Shen Qian to call Shen Wei, she had no reason to refuse.

The two raised their glasses and stepped forward——

"Happy New Year, Grandpa."

Shen Yu also said something along with her, she didn't make a mistake, she didn't show off, she behaved well, and she was flat.

After Shen Zongming finished drinking, he put down his wine glass, glanced at the two of them with a slightly deep look, and said kindly: "From now on, you brothers and sisters will be in the same group, and you must support each other and join hands hand in hand."

"Yes." Shen Qian replied in a low voice.

Shen Yu smiled sweetly: "Yes."

After paying respects and exiting, it was the turn of the second brother and sister of the Shen family.

Shen Rang picked up the wine glass, and Shen Jing followed him softly and quietly.

"Grandpa, Arang wishes you great luck in the New Year, good health and good luck in everything!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

He filled a glass of red wine with a few gurglings and it disappeared. How heroic and heroic that action must be.

It seems that there is a lot of socializing outside.

Shen Jing took advantage of the situation and said, "Then I wish grandpa a long life of hundreds of years, and always smile."

They were also brothers and sisters, the second room was obviously sweeter than the first room, the old man smiled wrinkled all over his face.

After the toasting session, the rest is free to combine.

The three Shen Chunjiang brothers definitely want to drink one.

Although the sisters-in-law Yang Lan and Wei Mingxin fought fiercely in private, they had a tacit understanding on this occasion. They raised their glasses at the same time and respected each other from a distance——

"Sister-in-law, your family was not going well last year. This year, remember to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva and the God of Wealth."

"That doesn't bother my younger siblings."

After taking a sip, the two of them looked away at the same time, as if they couldn't help but vomit if they took a second look.

Shen Qian shook the goblet, and looked at Shen Yu with a half-smile: "Why, don't you intend to toast me?"
