Chapter 13: The Family Feast (1)


At first, Shen Lian thought that Shen Fang and Shen Zhan were having a conflict, and wanted to hear what was going on, and then try his best to reconcile the dispute.

After all, they were brothers, but the more he listened, the more something was wrong, and the taste completely changed.

It turns out that he is the target of the two brothers' verbal and verbal attacks.

"After I became a Gu Master, my expenses increased dramatically, which has attracted the attention of my family."

Shen Lian sighed and was about to walk out, when "You two guys are so sneaky and you are saying bad things about Brother Lian again."

The green shadows in the bamboo forest swayed, and a lively girl emerged.

She was not even young, but her appearance was extremely beautiful.

Her skin was as good as snow.

Her delicate face was as white and delicate as teeth carved from jade.

There was also a dripping beauty mark under the corner of her eye.

She was wearing a white jade skirt inlaid with emerald green, with thick velvet draped over her delicate shoulders.

She suddenly jumped out and appeared behind Shen Fang and Shen Zhan, making them tremble in shock.

"Who do I think you are?

Isn't this Shen Lian's follower?

Why are you not with Shen Lian?

He doesn't want you anymore."

Shen Fang sneered with an abnormal expression on his face.

Shen Zhan was also in a panic, and then ridiculed: "Shen Xiaoshu, as a woman, you must abide by women's ethics.

You must not spit on others with blood, and you must not gossip behind your back.

Do you understand?"

Shen Xiaoshu said angrily: "You two big bad guys, I'm going to tell Brother Lian and ask him to deal with you."

"No, no, no, no."

Shen Zhan suddenly panicked.

"Damn girl, if you dare to say a word, try and see if I don't beat you to death."

Shen Fang's face darkened, and he clenched his fists to threaten.

Shen Xiaoshu hehehe, gesticulating, said: "Shen Fang, don't play tricks on me.

I, Shen Xiaoshu, am not intimidated.

If you try to touch me with a finger, I will make your death uglier than a dog's."

Shen Fang trembled with anger and stamped his feet: "If you are like this now, you will definitely be a shrew in the future, ruining the family tradition, unable to marry, and no one will want you."

Shen Xiaoshu had some free time and sneered: "Shen Fang, Shen Fang, you actually have the nerve to tell me, why don't you ask about your reputation?

In everyone's eyes, apart from being good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, what else is worth mentioning about you, Shen Fang?"

, I feel ashamed for you."

Shen Fang clutched his chest, unable to breathe, and had the urge to vomit blood.

Shen Zhan shouted: "Shen Xiaoshu, don't be so sharp-tongued and sarcastic here.

Don't forget that we are also your brothers.

Have you forgotten the rules of respecting elders and juniors?

Be careful to serve me according to the law of the family."

Shen Xiaoshu put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "Shen Zhan, look at you, you are such a bear, pretending to be polite with a fan, can you write poetry?

Do you have a poem that is famous for thousands of miles?

Look at Brother Lian, he can speak in perfect sentences and write poems in seven steps.

Alas, they are both born to the same father.

How come the gap between people is so big?

Also, let me tell you, stop telling me the rules here.

When you say bad things about Brother Lian, where are the rules?"

"Shut up!"

Shen Zhan became angry and lost control of his emotions, roaring: "Who said anything bad about him?"

"Oh, who are you talking bad about?"

Suddenly, Shen Lian walked out from the side with a smile on his face, a playful smile on his lips.

As soon as they saw him, Shen Fang and Shen Zhan looked at each other, their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly turned their heads and pretended to look at the scenery, not daring to look over.

"Shen Lian" Shen Xiaoshu's eyes lit up, he jumped for joy and ran over.

Shen Lian raised his hand and flicked her forehead.

Shen Xiaoshu groaned, rubbed his forehead, and said angrily: "Flick my forehead again, Shen Lian, I want to break off our relationship with you."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Nizi, how have I offended you?"

"Humph, you tell yourself how long it has been since you ignored me."

Shen Xiaoshu turned his head away, feeling angry.

Shen Lian recalled that since the day he became a Gu Master, he had been practicing hard and risking his life.

He had not had any entertainment for a day, let alone played with Shen Xiaoshu, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt in his heart.

He came over and said with a smile: "Dad gave me a task to handle.

I'm so busy these days that I don't have time to play with you.

But fortunately, the matter has been almost settled.

After today's family dinner, I'll accompany you."

How about shopping?”

"Really?"

Shen Xiaoshu turned around in surprise, her watery eyes flashing with starlight, as if the stars in the sky fell into her eyes.

"I lied to you that I was a puppy."

Shen Lian vowed.

"Okay, then, you take me to buy the golden branch gouache from the Girl's Building, the rainbow rouge from the Piaoxiang Pavilion, and the new skirts produced by Master Huang, and" Shen Lian: "" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned to Shen Fang and Shen Zhan, "Are you free today?

How about we go shopping together?

We haven't played together for a while."

Shen Fang and Shen Zhan were extremely embarrassed.

How could they be embarrassed?

One said he still had homework to do, and the other hesitated and said he had an appointment with a friend.

Shen Xiaoshu groaned strangely at the side, his eyes full of deep contempt.

"Then we'll make an appointment next time."

Shen Lian smiled slightly and looked pleasant.

The boat arrived and four people got on board.

The boatman immediately held up the pole and rowed toward the center of the lake.

After Shen Lian pondered for a while, he began to be confused and said, "Second brother, third brother, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Both Shen Fang and Shen Zhan tensed up.

"Brother, if there is anything you can't decide on, you need to discuss it with us."

"It's like this.

After the Zhu family was wiped out, some of his family's businesses were taken over by our family.

The family's income is much more than before, so I thought, should we provide some benefits to everyone, such as increasing the monthly salary?"

Hearing this, Shen Fang and Shen Zhan looked at each other and suddenly became excited.

Shen Lian sighed and said slowly: "That's what I think, but in the end it's up to dad to make the decision.

Of course, if you support me, it will be easier for dad to talk.

But if you object, then let this matter go and just treat me as Never said that."

"Support us fully" How could the two of them object to such a good thing, so they nodded hurriedly.

"The bewitchment of Shen Fang was successful and 1 point of bewitchment was obtained."

"Successfully bewitched Shen Zhan and gained 1 point of bewitchment."

Shen Lian smiled slightly, looked at them with squinted eyes, and thought to himself: "My two ignorant brothers, you actually want to increase your monthly salary.

How can it be that simple?

It's just a daydream."

"Then we'll go find Dad later and mention this matter."

"Okay, just listen to big brother."

The boat soon arrived at the island in the middle of the lake.

The four people got off the boat and went ashore, and soon arrived at the Huxin Tower.

The hall on the first floor was filled with thirty-six round tables, enough to seat three to four hundred people.

More than a hundred servants and maids were busy.

Shen Wanquan undoubtedly spent money on this family banquet.

In addition to the Shen family, other friends from all walks of life will also be invited to the banquet.

It is more lively than the family banquet during the holidays, and it can be said to be extremely grand.

Cuilan immediately came out and saluted, "I've seen Mr.

Lian, Mr.

Fang, Mr.

Zhan, and Miss Shu."

Shen Lian nodded.

"Yeah" Shen Xiaoshu's eyes lit up, his eyes flickered to the aqua blue moonlight skirt on Cuilan, and he exclaimed: "Cuilan, your skirt is so beautiful, where did you buy it?"

When Cuilan heard this, she couldn't help but become nervous and her face turned pale.

She looked around, and as expected, she attracted a lot of attention.

She screamed inwardly for a moment, and really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

Shen Lian asked her to buy this aqua blue moonflower dress.

After buying it, she didn't dare to wear it at all, so she wore it in the yard where Shen Lian was.

After coming out, she quickly changed into simple clothes and hid for nearly a month.

It’s been a month since today’s family dinner, and I finally can’t escape it.

Thinking of what a terrible scene it would be if the third lady saw her wearing this dress, Cuilan became panicked and frightened, and just wanted to run away as far as she could.

"This is what Mr.

Lian gave to his slave," Cuilan said hesitantly and tremblingly.

Shen Xiaoshu immediately glared over and said with a pout: "Shen Lian, you are partial?"

Shen Lian was speechless for a while.

This little girl was simply a real-life version of Crayon Shin-chan, with special powers that made people crazy.

He quickly changed the subject and asked Cuilan, "Where is dad?"

"The master is on the second floor, discussing matters with several ladies."

Cuilan replied.

Sure enough, Dad should be in the living room welcoming guests from all directions at the moment, but instead he is discussing something with a few ladies.

He cast a sidelong glance at Shen Fang and Shen Zhan.

Based on their IQs, they would never have thought that their respective mothers might be behind the scenes and causing trouble when they went to the accounting office to check his expense accounts.

"Second brother and third brother, let's go find dad right now."

Shen Lian walked away, "Cuilan, you come too."

"Yes."

Cuilan responded, her heart in her throat.

She knew that the third lady was also on the second floor.

Shen Fang and Shen Zhan followed each other step by step with lively eyebrows.

Shen Xiaoshu followed because he was watching the excitement and didn't mind the trouble.

Everyone climbed up the stairs and came to a door on the second floor.

Cuilan was about to knock on the door, but Shen Lian reached out and stopped her.

There was a quarrel in the room, and you could hear it clearly from the door.

"Master, the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh.

Lian'er is your flesh and blood.

My Fang'er and fourth sister's Zhan'er are not your flesh and blood."

In the room, Sanniang almost choked with sobs and complained loudly.

“Lian’er’s mother died early, and it was the second sister who dragged him up by pooping and peeing all over her body.

He is a smart and good boy, but it is not yet confirmed who the future head of the Shen family will be.

But now he has started to act recklessly and spend a lot of money.

If this continues, sooner or later the family will be completely ruined.

If the Shen family falls into his hands, it will be over sooner or later, and everyone will have to go to the northwest."

Siniang nodded, with a look of deep approval: "Third Sister is right, Master, you have to discipline Lian'er well and take back his authority.

You can't continue to let him do whatever he wants."

Wu Niang and Liu Niang didn't speak, but they didn't object.

It was obvious what they meant.

Shen Wanquan's brows knitted into a knot.

Erniang held the handkerchief tightly and kept kneading it, her expression full of anxiety.

She really didn't expect that on a festive day like the family banquet, the third and fourth sisters would join forces with the fifth and sixth sisters to suddenly attack Lian'er.

Shen Wanquan had six wives and concubines.

The main wife, Shen Lian's mother, died early.

The second mother had a gentle temperament and had been infertile for many years, so she raised Shen Lian as her own son, considered herself the principal wife, and was in charge of the family's account books.

It was thanks to the care of his second mother that Shen Lian could go to the accounting room and withdraw expenses at will.

It is said that women are like tigers in their thirties.

The second mother has never been pregnant with a child.

After reaching the age of thirty, the pregnancy suddenly breaks out.

She first gave birth to a daughter, Shen Xiaoshu, who grew up with Shen Lian, and the two had the closest relationship.

Later, she gave birth to a younger son, Shen Jun
