Shen Fei's maternal grandfather, Mrs. Meng, was also a famous young talent in the capital when he was young, married the virtuous and virtuous Wei, and gave birth to the eldest son Meng Yingshi and the eldest daughter, but unfortunately Wei was born weak and died young, so he remarried his step-room Wei and gave birth to Aunt Jiang, Mrs. Shen and the second son Meng Yingque.

When Mrs. Meng entered the official career with the imperial examination, she successively stayed in the Hanlin Academy, the household department and other places, and later fell in love with Shen Ping's talent and character when he was in charge of Wuchuan Province, so he married his beloved daughter to him, and then returned to Beijing to enter the cabinet.

Until Emperor Huiping ascended the throne eight years ago, Mrs. Meng resigned from the government by herself because she was very familiar with current affairs, vacated the position of the second assistant and the number of cabinet elders, and gave it to a new figure appreciated by Emperor Huiping.

Emperor Huiping was very obsessed with Mrs. Shen back then, and was very polite to Mrs. Meng, although Mrs. Meng was really angry for a while after marrying Mrs. Shen in Luling, but the times have changed, and Emperor Huiping is barely a reasonable person.

Over the years, Mrs. Meng has been reassuring to retire in the house, which can be described as very comfortable.

His eldest son Meng Yingshi served as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and was a fat child, the eldest daughter was the princess of the county, and the second daughter, that is, Aunt Jiang was the wife of the political envoy, and the third daughter married Ruyi Lang and the queen were in love, and the youngest son Meng Yingque was the left Shaoqing in Honglu Temple. Although the official positions of the two sons are not too high in the capital, the victory lies in the fact that the two of them are stable officials, and they are both sensible people, and they have not set off any big storms, which makes the old man worry a lot less.

The so-called "seventy years of life is rare", Mrs. Meng is sixty-nine years old this year, which can be regarded as an advanced age. He has a peaceful temperament, treats the children born from the original partner and the steproom equally, and especially loves Mrs. Shen.

Because of this, Mrs. Shen has a deep affection for this father.

Although she has been afraid to return to Beijing all these years, the family letter has never been broken, and there are always one or two letters of greeting every month.

Shen Ping naturally knew his beloved wife's thoughts, and he was also full of gratitude to this old Taishan, so he immediately settled down, and asked Lang Zhong to take care of Mrs. Shen on the one hand, and sent someone to pack up on the other hand-

In such a situation, Mrs. Shen will inevitably go back to mourn.

But the problem also comes out, Shen Ping doesn't have a group of guards to deploy like Qin Xiong, so he can rest assured that Shen Yan's mother and daughter can go to Beijing alone, even if all the men in the house are sent, it can't be reassured. But if he accompanied his wife and daughter to Beijing, the matter of collecting books here is approaching the end of the year, and there is still a mess of things, and Shen Ping is the key person in the collection of books here, so he really can't leave.

It just so happened that Aunt Jiang and Jiang Zhen had already gone to Beijing, and Jiang Wenying would definitely not be able to go to Lao Taishan to condolence in person, and no one could take Shen Yan's mother and daughter back.

was in a hurry, and the savior came to the door by himself.

Xu Yan originally came to the Shen family to quit his job, he is very busy these days, although he has the heart to come to see Shen Yan more, but he doesn't have that free time, he only secretly passed by the Linglong Mountain Pavilion a few times at night, and looked through the window, but there were no Jingdong people at all.

This time, the emperor's holy decree urgently summoned him back to Beijing, and Xu Yan thought that he would not see Shen Yu for a while, so he arranged the matter at hand and immediately came to the Shen family to resign.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the Shen family, he saw this sad and bleak appearance.
