Chapter 132: The Shen Family
The Shen family said that the three generations, that is, Xinglan's great-great-grandfather, once sat in the position of prime minister, and his career has been very stable during that period. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The great-great-grandfather's background was not very good, just like the current Zhang Zhongxian, when he was young, he was just a down-and-out scholar, because of the situation of the dynasty, the emperor at that time had to use the children of the Han family to contain the power of the family lords.
After a lifetime of intrigues, he sat in the position of prime minister, but when his power was in full swing, he submitted his resignation to the emperor and returned to his hometown in Huaishan with his family on the grounds of poor health.
As for why the great-great-grandfather suddenly resigned and returned to his hometown, many of the reasons back then are not clear, but after the great-great-grandfather returned to Huaishan, he issued a death order that the descendants of the Shen family should not enter the office.
After the death of his great-great-grandfather, his son, Xinglan's great-grandfather, inherited his father's last wish and spent his whole life on the construction of the academy and the cultivation of students.
Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and under the careful cultivation of his great-grandfather, Huaishan Academy produced three champions at once, and the same academy produced three champions in the same year, which caused a sensation at that time. Huaishan Academy has become famous overnight and has become a dream place for many students.
As more and more people from Huaishan Academy were sent to the imperial court, even the emperor personally summoned his great-grandfather, but I don't know what the two said behind closed doors, since then the imperial court has sent an edict to be stationed in the academy, and he doesn't do anything else every day, just wandering around, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the person sent by the emperor to monitor.
In the generation of Xinglan's maternal grandfather, Shen Junru, Huaishan Academy has resounded throughout the five countries, and many bachelors have come to visit.
Shen Junru did not have much achievements in this life, only guarded the family business of his ancestors, and lived most of his life peacefully. If there is any regret, it is that Shen Biyun's disappearance is his biggest concern.
Shen Junru has a total of three children, two sons and one daughter, Shen Biyun is the youngest sister, so she has been held in the palm of her family since she was a child.
A horse-drawn carriage outside Shangjin City was driving slowly on the official road, and a handsome middle-aged man outside the car was riding on a horse, and after a closer look, he found that it was three points similar to Xinglan.
Shen Yue looked up at the sky, waved his hand to stop the carriage, then turned over and dismounted and walked to the carriage, opened the curtain and said to the people inside, "Father! I'm afraid it's going to be windy when I see the sky, so let's find an inn in front of us to rest first, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city today." ”
An old man with a white beard in the carriage nodded with a tired face, after all, he was old, and this long-term fatigue of carriages and horses was indeed a bit unbearable.
Shen Yue saw that Shen Junru's face was pale, and he asked with concern, "Father, can you still eat." ”
Shen Junru shook his head, except for the bones that were about to be bumped apart, everything else was okay along the way.
Shen Yue saw that his father had nothing to do and lowered the curtain, and told the driver to be as stable as possible, and then continued to walk forward.
In Gongsun Mansion, as Dong Ling Zhixuan said, Gongsun Yi came to Xinglan early in the morning and told her that her grandfather and uncle would enter Tianjin soon.
"Brother, that's your fault. Xinglan said in a complaining tone.
"What's wrong?" Gongsun Yi wondered, shouldn't this be a happy thing.
"My grandfather is very old, and we should have visited our juniors, but you wrote a letter to ask your grandfather and uncle to climb the mountains and wade through the water, are you still reasonable?" Xinglan said in a reproachful tone. If I had known earlier, I would have rushed to Huaishan to avoid my grandfather's involvement.
"You have wronged me, I just wrote a letter to report safety, originally planned to pass the New Year, I will take you there to live for a while, but when I received the news, they had already set off, this time the old man insisted on coming, no matter how the people at home persuaded him. Gongsun Yi explained that this incident was really not his fault.
"And where are they now?" Xinglan asked.
"I think it's almost time to get to Shangjin. Gongsun Yi said.
"Then let's go. Xinglan said and walked out, since it is not far away, let's go to greet it, but I am also a junior.
"Where are you going?" asked Gongsun Yi, puzzled.
"Of course I'm going to pick people up. Xinglan glanced at him, his grandfather had really hurt him for so many years.
"Wait a minute, I'll let someone arrange it. Gongsun Yi said towards Xinglan's back.
Xinglan sat in the carriage, Gongsun Yi rode a horse, and the group walked towards the outside of the city, and when they passed the market, the discussion outside Xinglan sitting in the carriage could hear it.
An aunt carrying a basket said to another, "Did you hear that?"
The aunt who was picking things up asked "What's wrong?" while keeping choosing what she wanted.
"You don't know about such a big thing, but last night it was half the night. "That aunt has an expression like you're lagging behind.
The latter stopped picking things, gossip was much more interesting than picking things, she quickly grabbed the former, and asked on the side, "Tell me what the hell is going on." ”
As soon as she asked, several aunts around her consciously gathered around, "I heard that Miss Lu in Gongsun Mansion last night, her private lover was arrested, and the belly pocket of the stand-in was also searched from the man's body, but he was still run away by the man, and the family of Gongsun Mansion searched for most of the night, and no one was found." ”
"You can't talk nonsense, after all, it's a cool girl who hasn't left the cabinet. An aunt asked questioningly, after all, a woman's name is more important than her life.
"Last night, the family searched our door, why is it nonsense. When the aunt saw that someone didn't believe her, she was a little unhappy, and kindly shared some secrets for everyone, which annoyed her the most.
The carriage quickly passed by them, and Xinglan pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't expect Thirteen's movements to be slow, and the news spread so quickly.
I believe this is enough for Zeng Yun to have a headache for a while, but this is just an appetizer, and I believe that Zeng Yun will also make a move soon.
Out of the city, the group walked towards the official road in the southwest, and along the way, Gongsun Yi kept wanting to speak and stopped, Xinglan couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What happened last night, didn't you arrange someone to do it? Gongsun Yi finally asked the doubts in his heart. He didn't understand why Xinglan did this, if it was just because Gongsun Lu said bad things about her behind her back, she would ruin Gongsun Lu's innocence, so that it would not be good for her in the future.
