"Your mother was an orphan since she was a child, she was first raised by a pair of beggars, and when she was about four or five years old, her grandfather and grandmother saw that your mother was well-behaved and pitiful, so they adopted her as a righteous daughter, thinking that she would be married to her father as a daughter-in-law in the future."

"You mean, my mother is the Shen family's child daughter-in-law?"

Shen Jue nodded, "The Shen family has been a businessman for generations, and the merchant is full of copper odor and has a low status, so he has always been not allowed to enter the office. It was not until the first year of Qingfeng that the people of the merchant nationality were allowed to pay high taxes and go directly to the scientific examination after paying high taxes. ”

"Daddy was the champion at that time?"

Shen Jue shook his head: "My father went to Beijing to take the exam without telling my grandfather, but he didn't get into the examination room, but he was the champion in the second year of Chengzhao three years later." ”

"Daddy wanted to take the exam at that time, why wait until three years later?"

Shen Hanyue was thoughtful, Emperor Qingfeng ascended the throne for two years, and was pushed off the throne by his brother. Dahua's era name has become the current Chengzhao in just two years, so what happened to his father to wait until he became the emperor to participate in the imperial examination?

Counting up, it is now the eighteenth year of Chengzhao, and Shen Xinxia, the eldest lady of the Shen Mansion, is twenty years old this year. Thinking of this, Shen Hanyue had a comprehension and asked, "That is to say, my father didn't take the exam that year, and my eldest sister was born in that year, so my father married your mother at that time, and it was the family that made him miss the imperial examination?" ”

Shen Jue nodded: "As soon as my father came to the capital, he met my mother, they admired each other and made a private decision for life!" ”

Shen Hanyue sighed secretly, what a bloody plot! His mother is a child daughter-in-law, and his father has a love affair with the concubine of Houfu, how can this matter be smooth?

"My grandfather relied on himself to be the Hou Ye, and when he found out, he was angry for a while, so he sent someone to the ancestral house in Qihang County to make trouble, which made my grandfather angry enough!"

"So Daddy can't participate in the scientific expedition?"

"Grandfather tied my father back to Qihang County and let him marry your mother."

“……”

Speaking of this, Shen Jue hesitated slightly before he continued: "My mother originally let my grandfather lock him in another courtyard, but she escaped again, and she found Shen's house in Qihang County on the night my father got married. ”

"So it became that the bride is your mother, and my mother becomes a concubine?" Shen Hanyue asked this, seeing that the eldest brother didn't nod, she knew that she had guessed wrong, "Could it be that Daddy and your mother are ......" She used her index finger and middle finger to make a running motion, and when she saw him nodding, she was a little incredulous!

Elope! Unexpectedly, his father eloped with Yang, which was disobedient and bold in ancient times. Hearing this, Shen Hanyue didn't know whether to be moved by her father's persistence, or sad that her mother was abandoned in the cave room!

"As the saying goes, hire a wife and run a concubine, this is my mother's pimple all her life. But it's true, she ...... robbed your mother's husband, so there's nothing to say. It's just that she is my mother, and the eldest brother sometimes understands the bitterness in her heart! ”

Shen Hanyue looked at her eldest brother steadily, knowing that he wanted him not to blame Yang's cold face.

But when she recalled the scenes of the Yang family, what she felt was not her psychological shackles, but her extreme jealousy of her mother's face. According to ancient ethics, is this called a bite back? However, she didn't tell her eldest brother her true feelings, but asked in a low voice: "Then my father and your mother ran away like this, how could my mother give birth to me?" ”

"My father and my mother made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, and later they were fortunate to meet Prince Su, and when they hit it off, Prince Su persuaded my father to go on a scientific expedition. But my father knew that elopement was a loss of virtue, so he didn't dare to participate in the imperial examination, and it was Prince Su Zhang Luo who let my father enter the examination room. After my father won the first place in high school, he built the Shen Mansion in the capital, and my mother was forgiven by my grandfather at that time! ”

"So...... Everyone in the capital thinks that your mother is the rightful Mrs. Shen? ”

Shen Jue's jaw: "At that time, the eldest sister was already able to speak, and everyone thought that the grandfather concealed the fact of marrying a daughter because his daughter-in-law was not allowed to give it to a good family, and he didn't dare to tell everyone until his son-in-law was the top student in high school." And our grandfather and grandmother have always ignored our father, so few people know about such family affairs, except for Prince Su and the Marquis of Ningyang, no one else knows! ”

Shen Hanyue swallowed a sip of tea, after knowing the truth, she felt that it was really a tragedy, her mother was a tragic female No. 1, and she had no choice to become a tragic female No. 2, obviously her father didn't love her mother, and he had a round house with her, and then gave birth to herself, isn't it okay to live at both ends?

Shen Jue knew that Shen Hanyue might be angry, but he couldn't argue, and when it came to this, he had to finish telling it, "My mother was forgiven by my grandfather, so my father rushed back to the ancestral house in Qihang County, wanting to ask my grandfather for forgiveness. ”

"So my father has a wife in the capital, and the ancestral house in Qihang County has a wife?" Shen Hanyue felt that this was a mistake, originally her father eloped, but she couldn't control herself because of her unbroken love, she could forgive her for this helpless unfilial piety, but later she became a husband and wife with her mother...... This father is sorry for the Yang family and sorry for his mother, so he ...... She really couldn't approve of it!

Shen Jue could hear the incomprehension in her tone, but her father couldn't help it, besides, what's wrong with a man having two wives?

When my father returned to his ancestral home, he learned that he had escaped from marriage. At that time, my grandfather fell ill, and the trading house suffered huge losses and was in danger. It was your mother who continued to serve her parents, not only comforting them, but also taking care of the entire family business. She freed the firm from unprecedented crisis, and even more so put all the businesses back on track. It's just that...... When Dad went back, Grandfather was already terminally ill, and he was in tears, and he wanted Dad to have sex with your mother. According to what my grandfather meant, after a hundred years, your mother will have no round house and no heirs, what identity will you use to stand in the Shen family at that time? ”

"My mother obeyed my grandfather's arrangement...... Gave birth to me? ”

"Yes, it's just that she gave birth to you in a difficult birth, so ......"

Shen Hanyue finally figured it out now, and her mood was extremely heavy. If this mother was still alive in the world, what a good woman would she be? She was abandoned like this as a weak woman, not only did she not complain, but also let her father who was outside have no worries, and finally obeyed the arrangement of her elders and gave birth to herself with her father.

"Big brother, I hope you don't blame your father, it's all about making people. What your mother did, my father knows, so many years, he has been very ashamed. And your mother...... Before dying, I explained that my father would take you to Shiyan Nunnery in the capital, saying that she was good friends with Mrs. Huining of Shiyan Nunnery, and hoped that Mrs. Huining would raise you until you could return to the Shen family to take over the business. ”

"It turned out that my mother arranged for me to come to Shiyan Nunnery, but why did she do this? Wouldn't it be nice to stay with your grandmother? ”

"Why your mother is like this, my father doesn't know, and I don't know, and when you were still in your mother's womb, your grandfather died, and left a message before he died, no matter whether your mother gave birth to a man or a woman, only the child she gave birth to can go to the ancestral tree of the Shen family, so ...... You are the only one in our Shen family's main house. Originally, my grandmother would never let my father bring you into Beijing, but in order to fulfill your mother's last wish, I asked the Taoist priest to say those words! ”

Shen Hanyue suddenly realized that regardless of the rights and wrongs of the year, her father should have cared for her.

"Can you go home with me now?"

Shen Hanyue nodded: "But let me state first, don't let me get married, as for seeing my grandmother rushing this thing, let's find a way to push it over in the future." ”

"Okay, I'll talk about it when I get back, but ......" Shen Jue looked a little embarrassed, and Shen Hanyue understood: "I won't provoke your mother, even for the sake of my father and eldest brother, I don't want you and my father to be embarrassed." ”

Shen Jue evoked a smile and said with relief: "I know that you are sensible." ”

Shen Hanyue nodded slightly, hoping that he could rest assured, the matter had come to this point, whether it was in the face of her grandmother, father or eldest brother, she could only choose to return to the Shen Mansion!

As for the awkward relationship with the Yang family, this ...... This, in fact, Shen Hanyue doesn't have a bottom, she just hopes that she won't see each other day by day like before, she nests her Qionghua Xiaoyuan, and the Yang family continues to show off her power elsewhere in the Shen Mansion.

When the brother and sister talked about this, there was nothing to rub into, and they walked out of Youjia Teahouse with a smile.

At this time, Steward Wang was already waiting outside in a carriage. Shen Hanyue knew that he had already returned to the Shen Mansion to inform his father, and he was a little embarrassed that everyone was tired of worrying so much: "Uncle Wang." ”

"The master is waiting for you in Qionghua Xiaoyuan, young lady come back quickly!"

Shen Hanyue nodded, ready to board the carriage, Shen Jue suddenly said, "By the way, why were you in the carriage of the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion before?" She glanced at him angrily, and now she remembered to ask this, and then realized it, "I'll explain to you later, by the way, I'm like this...... Enter the house......"

Shen Jue bowed slightly and looked her up and down: "Tut-tut, it's ruthless enough, the parents of the body and skin, a girl's family, are willing to make their eyebrows into this kind of virtue, they really look like female ghosts, I'm afraid my father won't recognize it." ”

Shen Hanyue stomped her feet and became slightly annoyed: "Don't talk about what you have, you say, how will you enter the mansion later?" ”

"Go up, wait until you enter the small door, cover your whole face with a light veil, anyway, no one will know if you don't leave Qionghua Xiaoyuan!" After Shen Jue finished speaking, he got into the carriage.

"Why don't you ride a horse and not get too crowded?" Shen Hanyue grumbled, but still sat down.

Shen Jue cocked Erlang's legs a little embarrassedly: "Less nonsense, how did you get into the Jingyang Marquis Mansion?" Be honest! ”

Shen Hanyue immediately shut up, how could she explain it to her eldest brother? The twists and turns here really need to be sorted out.

First of all, the affairs of the Eldest Princess's Mansion can't be explained, so you have to eliminate some things and people, and then add some indiscriminately.

Shen Hanyue sighed that she was not good at lying before, but after crossing over, she often directed and acted by herself, as if making up stories had become her specialty.

Amitabha, this is not the nature of the disciple, Buddha, forgive the disciple!
