Chapter 18 Cheng Xuan's Family Affairs

Cheng Xuan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, rain or shine, and never slackened, although he had also met some masters when he was a fledgling before, but on the whole, it was smooth, and it was the first time that such a big setback was encountered today.

Now that I heard Shen Jinyu's persuasion, my heart settled down a little. Her way of comforting people is never deliberate, her tone is not hurried, and it is sincere, like a gentle drizzle, but it is always just right.

After Cheng Xuan smiled, he said with a little gratitude: "Fortunately, I have your relief, otherwise I am not as good as others, and I am afraid that I will have to linger on my arms for a long time." ”

Shen Jinyu also laughed when she heard this, Cheng Wan's straightforwardness surprised her before, but now Cheng Xuan's straightforwardness surprised her. Not everyone has the stomach to say this calmly.

"Is the straightforwardness between you and Cheng Wan a characteristic of your family?"

Cheng Xuan said with a smile: "The characteristics are not counted, but compared to Cheng Wan, I am simply a small thing." Fluttershy sometimes talks to acquaintances, but she doesn't leave a step, and Xu Zhong was afraid of her before. ”

Shen Jinyu thought about the words that Cheng Wan said when she went to her yard at first, and laughed at the sweat on her forehead.

Shen Jinyu smiled and asked, "Then did you still have a brother before?" Why are you the third young master? ”

Cheng Xuan's smile disappeared instantly, Shen Jinyu looked at him and knew that he was speechless, and wanted to find a way to talk about it, but Cheng Xuan said: "This is not a secret in the mansion, it's just that no one has mentioned it for many years, you don't know the beginning and the end, it will be more difficult to talk about it." ”

Cheng Xuanyin asked: "Do you know that our ancestors have a king with a different surname who was crowned from the dragon's merits?" ”

Shen Jinyu nodded and said: "At that time, there were three kings with different surnames according to their military exploits, and the king of Lingnan did not cut his title within three generations, and the king of Yuexiu had a fief, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing without a will, and then there was no fief, but the hereditary king of Cheng. ”

Cheng Xuan said: "In addition to being crowned king, there was also an agreement with the emperor that the children of the Cheng family were free to marry, and they would not marry or get married. ”

Shen Jinyu sighed, lowered her head and remembered her grandfather, marriage, in the eyes of outsiders, may be the supreme honor, but for some people who can't shirk it, it may be a catastrophe.

Cheng Xuan smiled and continued: "So our family has always been co-opted by the major families, but the family motto in the house is to only be loyal to the monarch and not to form alliances. Until my father's generation. Something went wrong. Mrs. Li has been married for three years and has not come out, so she has given two concubines to my father as concubines. Sure enough, one of them became pregnant within half a year of entering the door. Fortunately, Mrs. Li also had a child in the following two months. ”

Hearing this, Shen Jinyu understood a little, the Cheng family only saw Cheng Xuan and his younger brothers, and there was no elder brother, presumably the child did not come to the world.

She was now full of regret in her heart, and she was quick to talk for a while, but what she asked was the Cheng family's selfishness, and the expression on Shen Jinyu's face gradually became a little embarrassed.

Cheng Xuan smiled when he saw this: "You should also guess that this concubine did not survive when she gave birth, and she walked with a pair of brothers who had not yet been born, the Queen Mother was furious, Mrs. Li was already more than seven months pregnant at this time, and she was called to the palace to copy the internal training for two hours, and she was born prematurely after returning home." Soon after I was born, my father's military position was removed, and my grandmother died a year later, and King Cheng became an empty shelf. ”

Shen Jinyu said: "This sounds more like there is a problem in the relationship between King Cheng and Jinshang, and you and Mrs. Li have just suffered from the pond fish." ”

Cheng Xuan nodded approvingly: "Yes, it's just that back then, my father was secretive, and I couldn't find any news." ”

Cheng Xuan likes to chat with Shen Jinyu, Shen Jinyu's grandfather is already a generation of legends who have come and gone without a trace, leaving only Shen Jinyu, who he personally raised and raised, she has been friends with the Han family since she was a child but does not stop at the deep boudoir, she understands the internal affairs of the boudoir and is also influenced by her grandfather to understand the changes in political affairs, and when he talks to her, he wants to know how the children of the Shen family will look at this problem.

Cheng Xuan continued: "At that time, Mrs. Li was the daughter of the Li family, and she was the eldest daughter, and she was very beautiful when she married Cheng Fu, and it is said that my grandmother also regarded her as a daughter, but after I was born, there were rumors that it was a child who was less than a month, and the origin was unknown. I have not been close to her since I was a child, and since I was five years old, I have been a companion to the imperial grandson, and I have spent less time at home and have become more and more distant. It's just that now that I'm getting older, I slowly begin to understand her suffering back then, and I am more understanding, the Cheng family has been extremely difficult for her over the years. ”

Cheng Xuan paused and said, "You've never seen my father, are you?" ”

Shen Jinyu said with a smile: "You call your mother Mrs., but your father is still your father, I think he is the person who can give you warmth and strength, if he doesn't appear, there must be a last resort." ”

Cheng Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "As a father and husband, he tried his best, as the eldest son of the Cheng family, he was a little derelict in his duties, although the son does not say anything about his father, but I sometimes think about it privately, if he was decisive back then, he didn't have to wait until the third year to accept a concubine, and Mrs. Li would not be like this." ”

"The Cheng family is based on martial arts, and it is naturally indispensable to kill the enemy in battle, brothers in battle, a family of military generals like ours must be full of children and grandchildren, and there is only one son-in-law like me, which is too few."

Shen Jinyu thought for a while, and then said carefully: "Reasoning, this is your housework, I shouldn't talk too much, but for Mrs. Li, maybe these three years can give her memories of a lifetime. Even the sky is fragrant, looking at the way back. Mrs. Li's suffering, I'm afraid it's unspeakable suffering. ”

Cheng Xuan said a little unexpectedly: "As the son of the Cheng family, there is more than one family to be concerned about, not to mention the Cheng family, just look at the thousands of families under my Cheng family's army, my father no longer has military power, but the war will not stop, a war, how much damage will be caused by changing generals?" Sitting in this position, it is impossible to plan only for yourself, such a long relationship between children and daughters will not only harm the Cheng family. I have been in the military camp since I was a teenager, and I was born and died, so that I could follow the old department. The main general is not there, who envisions for them, who can protect Cheng Jiajun? ”

Shen Jinyu laughed at this time and said: "This is very serious, if a man does not accept a concubine, his wife is not virtuous." This has been the case since ancient times, but the reason for the mistakes made by men is attributed to women. The affairs of the Cheng family started from now on, and the disaster fell to Mrs. Li, but it is not something that your father can change by taking a concubine. ”
