Chapter 349 Shen Hongpan

Shen Chaozong and his aunt Liu spoke highly of each other, saying that they were worthy of Zhengwen's respect and love.

Moreover, there was meaning in his words, as if he was willing to entrust Shen's family with the task of taking charge of the family business in the future.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhengwen quickly adjusted his attitude and politely declined the offer by pushing Shen Hongpan out.

Chaozong showed no concern, but continued to praise and criticize him.

He also made another detour and brought up old family affairs in the past.

"hehe."

"Ugh!"

"Speaking of Hong Pan, I always think of his mother!"

"If I hadn't been so anxious back then, a letter from home would have made him and his mother cross the river alone."

"Haha. All right, all right!"

While reminiscing about the past, Chaozong smiled bitterly and spoke bitterly. When he came to this point, he took a deep breath and waved his hands to calm his mind.

"Let's not talk about the past!"

"But, because of what happened back then, I have relaxed my discipline on this boy over the years!"

"I always feel sorry for him!"

"He is not the kind of person who is ambitious and smart!"

"After a while, it becomes even more useless!"

"I think he is already over thirty years old this year."

"You're just sitting around doing nothing all day, not bothering with your work!"

"This"

Speaking of this, Shen Chaozong also intentionally cast his eyes on Yuzhen and Xiao'e at the next table!
"Haha, I, Uncle Shen, am not afraid of being laughed at by you two girls!"

"Tell me, who would be willing to marry this stubborn and foolish young master without knowing the details?!"

"Alas, the years are getting older!"

"Three years ago, it was your Aunt Liu who took care of everything and managed to find you a proper girl from the Liu family!"

"Character, family background, and appearance, they are all impeccable!"

"Besides, she is related to your Aunt Liu."

"Even if Hong Pan is a bit naughty, he is still protecting our Shen family!"

"There's nothing I don't like about this girl!"

"Can"

"Oh, come to think of it, it's just that your brother Pan is unlucky!"

"What a nice girl! Your Aunt Liu and I treat her like our own daughter."

"But the sky doesn't always go as one wishes."

"Who could have imagined that within less than half a year after the two children were married, my wife would become ill and bedridden!"

"With good medical treatment and good medicine, he managed to survive for more than two months, but he finally passed away!"

"Life like that really makes your aunt Liu and I very sad." Shen Chaozong said this deliberately.

After hearing this, Aunt Liu followed suit and also spoke up.

"Yes!"

"She's called Lianyu. She's been a very well-behaved and sensible child since she was little. When she first came, your uncle Shen and I noticed that she wasn't feeling well. But she didn't have any serious problems, so we didn't take it to heart."

“Who could have thought of this?” As Liu said this, she wiped her tears.

"Ah, but then again!"

"Your brother Pan, don't be fooled by his usual behavior!" "But he has a really good heart!"

"He who has chosen his love will truly know the pain!"

Shen and Liu were talking to each other, and by this point, Yuzhen, who had been listening silently, had already guessed the secret behind their words!
At this moment, Yuzhen and Xiao'e were still keeping their heads down and keeping silent.

Shen Chaozong and Liu didn't know how to continue the conversation!

As for this, it's enough to just mention it.

What you should understand will become clear.

If you explain it clearly, it would be bad indeed!

Xiao'e, who was originally simple-minded, stared at the fruits for a moment. Although she still had to maintain some dignity as a lady from an aristocratic family and did not dare to be too presumptuous, she was still polite when she took the cakes.

But in reality, her mind and eyes were completely focused on eating. As for Shen Chaozong and Aunt Liu who were talking a lot, she didn't care who they were talking about!
In comparison, with Yuzhen beside him, her thoughts were clearly visible and tense!
He listened to the words and observed the situation, and understood everything clearly.

Shen Chaozong and Liu knew clearly the identity of the eldest brother Zhengwen, as well as her and Xiao'e's true family background and current situation.

At this moment, Uncle Shen and Aunt Liu were talking in a roundabout way, and every three sentences they made could not be separated from their son Hong Pan. They said this specifically, and of course they were talking to the two sisters!
Thinking about this, it is somewhat reasonable!

How pitiful are the parents in the world!
After all, I also have a younger sister, Yu'e. If this is the case, I will take the initiative to agree to be friends with Shen Hongpan, and the master will naturally be happy!

As the saying goes, two good things combined make one!
But if they were to take such steps to forgive the two sisters, it would not only help their son's lifelong event, but also help Zhen and E clarify their identities in the Shen family!
My elder brother Zhengwen has become the real uncle of the family, and we are really close to each other.

Shen Chaozong took great pains to make all these calculations, and he had considered everything for these three members of the Zhu family. Finally, he got his reward!
It is indeed beneficial to both others and yourself, and it is well-intentioned!
But, what kind of a person is Zhu Yuzhen?
Even though he was in such a predicament, why would he accept such an appointment and submit to someone like Shen Hongpan? !

And a few days ago, that stupid bully (Shen Hongpan) and my elder brother Zhengwen also had something to say!

The dandy merchant son is the best at showing off his personality.

Although Shen Hongpan came from a wealthy family and had no worries about food and clothing, his father Chaozong doted on him too much because he lost his mother at an early age. On weekdays, he only knew how to spend money like water, was uneducated and had no knowledge of economic affairs.

All he did all day was cockfighting, horse riding, and sightseeing.

Such a foolish and incompetent person, who is difficult to accomplish, would probably be subdued if he met a girl from a small family!
But what was Zhu Yuzhen’s identity in the past?

How could she really look at him with a straight face? !
So after thinking it over again and again, Yuzhen sat at the next table politely and started talking, but she changed the topic implicitly and pretended to refuse.

"kindness"

"The brother Pan that Aunt Liu mentioned is, from what I heard, even older than my brother Zhengwen!"

"Xiao'e and I have just arrived, so we should go and greet you when we have time!"

"My brother mentioned this when I came here, saying that Pan is a good elder brother with a straightforward personality."

"Your character is naturally good!"

"It's just that Xiao'e and I, as girls in the boudoir, should stay with the other women in the backyard. Big brother is in another room in the courtyard, so I'm afraid we won't have many opportunities to meet in the future!"

"Oh, right!"

"When I came here, Xiao'e and I also prepared some small gifts in Nanjing. It's my first time to visit Uncle Shen and Aunt Liu, so I don't want to come empty-handed and be impolite!"

"It's just that my two sisters came here in such a hurry that it's hard to be thorough!"

"They are just some ordinary things. I'm afraid you, Aunt Liu, will laugh at me!"

Yuzhen spoke politely, putting aside Shen Hongpan's words, and pretending to be shy as a courtesy, talked about the matter of presenting the gift.

Upon hearing this, Liu had no choice but to agree.

"Oh, girl, this is too formal!"

"It's good that you can come! It's good that you can come!"

"You don't know how much your uncle Shen and I have been looking forward to seeing you two sisters these past two days!"

"Don't be so distant from me in the future!"

"Otherwise, Aunt Liu, I will be really unhappy!"

Liu also pretended to be angry in response.
