The closer he got to the capital, the more anxious and impatient Xiao Kong became. Shen Liangshu sighed silently, put the book in his hand on the small table, and asked softly:

"What's wrong with you?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Kong looked up blankly, forced a smile and pulled the corners of his mouth.

Shen Liangshu picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, pushed one cup to Xiao Kong's side, and said in a slow tone:

"Your mind has become more and more flustered these days, but if you have any difficulties, tell me."

has been walking outside with Shizi for many years, and she has seen a lot, and she is no longer a little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky.

Xiao Kong hesitated for a long time, met the concerned gaze of the prince, and finally couldn't bear to hide it, and said with a little apprehension:

"Yes, it's somewhat...... You know, I was ignorant and fearless, and I was ...... to my wife Disrespectful, although I know that I am wrong all these years, but ...... But in the end, I don't have peace in my heart, I don't know, I don't know if my wife will forgive......"

This "wife" is naturally agarwood, undoubtedly.

On the same day, after Shen Jingzhong straightened the agarwood, he repaired a letter to inform the family.

On weekdays, following the son of the world outside, it is irrelevant. But now that he is about to enter Beijing, recalling the past grievances, he is at a loss, and Xiao Kong's family has to be weak-hearted.

The prince Shen Liangshu was no better, especially knowing that his mother-in-law Kong chose another marriage match and married a man □□ years younger than her as his wife, and after receiving the letter, his face was black and couldn't be seen.

Thinking that his terrible mother was also in the capital, Shen Liangshu only felt panicked with a bad toothache.

sighed silently, Shen Liangshu's heart was uncomfortable, and he had to cheer up to comfort Xiao Kong's family.

"Don't be careful, too ...... Mrs. is not a mean person, as long as we live a good life, presumably she is not willing to worry about idleness and take care of us. ”

The sound of "Mrs" is really astringent, but as long as he thinks of the "stepfather" in his mother's letter, Shen Liangshu can't help but shudder, this word Mrs. is also called sincerely. 、

No matter what, I'm afraid of a word.

Xiao Kong nodded a little frightened, secretly took a deep breath, forced his concentration, and started to speak, and then there were other words to follow,

“…… Let's go back to Beijing, what are you really doing on this errand? ”

Shen Liangshu threw the extremely bad mother back of his head, thought about it, and said:

"Dad must have achieved something, I'll ask Dad what he means when I get home, but I'm looking for it, most of them are a fictitious job, doing idle errands and messing around."

He also has the name of a son, and he will inherit the title of Duke Shen in the future, unless he is from a military background like his father, he is mostly idle and noble.

Xiao Kong looked at Shen Liangshu's face, and persuaded with a smile:

"That's fine, now that our two sons are not young, we should try the scientific examination in two years...... If you have free time and give more advice, the children will have a better grasp of it. ”

Without an official position, do you still have a son!

The son and the child are obviously not from the martial arts, and if they want to achieve something, it is nothing more than the word imperial examination. The Shen family is in the title, but the second son cannot inherit it, and the imperial examination is undoubtedly the best choice.

Shen Liangshu naturally understood, nodded immediately, and agreed:

"What you said is very true, after returning to Beijing, it is time for the children to ask a gentleman to teach, and a daughter...... Our family is not prosperous, women are not talented, it is the set of virtue, everything that should be learned has to be learned, I heard that the little sister has been seeking palace learning since she was a child, and she is very appreciated by Confucianism. ”

Whenever there is a little wind and grass in the palace, it is immediately spread outside that the prince is far away from the capital, but the news in the capital must be known.

Not to mention, Miss Shen Beier has always been in the center of public opinion in the capital, especially after splitting the prince with her hands, she retreated with her whole body, let alone be ignored!

Xiao Kong's earlier heard the prince mention a few times, every year to the capital Shen family to send a gift, the prince also personally received a copy of his sister-in-law's handwritten book, the words on the head are immature, grateful, but to encourage the son to make persistent efforts, next time to give Miss Belle a lot......

Thinking of the past, Shizi couldn't help laughing, he hadn't met yet, and he had a little more affection for his younger siblings in the family.

He is not a bastard of different worlds, his father has doted on a pair of young siblings very much over the years, and he has loved him very much, but he has never mentioned the change of titles, and he has never intended to give up the title of duke to his young son.

So, what is he to worry about!

Xiao Kong's family is more concerned about his son's studies, and when he heard this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but say tentatively:

"Master, you say...... My sister-in-law has entered the palace school, let's ......"

Shen Liangshu's eyes pale for a moment, looking at the expectation in Xiao Kong's eyes, shaking his head and sighing:

"I know what you mean, but I can't."

Xiao Kong was in a hurry, "Why?" ”

Shen Liangshu's expression was soft, he looked at Xiao Kong's reassuringly, and said with a smile:

"It's good to be in the palace school, but the Shen family has already entered two, if you squeeze it in again, not to mention the red eyes of others, it will also look a little frivolous in the eyes of the saint."

As far as women are concerned, in this life, they either rely on their father-in-law, or their sons, and the sons are more reliable, not to mention the second son, the concubine is recorded in her name, but the eldest son is born by herself, so how can she not worry about it.

At the moment, rubbing the handkerchief, his brows were furrowed, Xiao Kongshi bit his lip lightly,

"My father-in-law has always been deeply appreciated by the saints, so he can't, can't ......" to ask for grace for his grandson.

Shen Liangshu said patiently: "I didn't tell you, our family is good now, but the more this is the case, the more we should be cautious in our words and deeds, and we can't be one step behind." Moreover, the palace school that the younger brother and sister can enter is opened by the Holy Chrysostom and given grace, and this is what happened. If the subordinates ask for it by themselves, they will inevitably end up with an arrogant reputation. ”

The reputation of his father Shen Guogong is already very loud, I don't know how many people don't like it, and they are anxious to take a bite, he is a son, he really can't hold back first! 、

Xiao Kong's mind is spinning rapidly, it is related to the future of his son, in the palace school, except for the son of the prince and noble, but they are all important ministers in the court to have this honor, if the son has been with these people since he was a child, the future career has been or can be expected......

Thinking of this, Xiao Kong's heart was hot, and he looked at Shen Liangshu and pleaded:

"It's not possible, let's not stuff people into it, but the little sister is not young now, and it's not good to mess around with foreign men...... Can you ask your father-in-law for our eldest brother to go in. “

The smile on the corner of Shen Liangshu's mouth gradually faded, and he looked at Xiao Kong's fixedly, and Xiao Kong's eyes that were looking straight at him evaded, and then he sighed deeply,

"You just let me talk about it, and don't mention it in the future...... What a bastard, this should be what you should say as a sister-in-law. How old is my little sister, so you are talking nonsense...... I just said that I was afraid of my wife, so I thought about pinching her lung tube again...... You can save your worries, I know to tell you, my son and I have my own plans, but I have nothing to do with the palace, you just die. ”

Seeing Xiao Kong's neck shrink, Shen Liangshu sighed secretly, Xiao Kong's has grown a lot over the years, but he can't help but be stupid from time to time, and he has to beat it so that he doesn't do anything.

I have to be here, although Xiao Kong's is a little cautious, but in the end she is not a ruthless person, without the instigation of the children around her, she is very good to a few children, even if she does not treat it as her own, but in the end she has never been in front of a set behind her back, so that he has gradually softened his heart over the years, so that he can live with peace of mind.

Thinking that after returning to Beijing, he didn't ask Xiao Kong to be stupid, Shen Liangshu didn't get tired of scaring her with words.

"You shouldn't be alone, you can't stretch out your hand, you only see that your younger brother and sister can enter the palace to study, but you don't know which one is a fuel-efficient lamp there, seeing that the two of them are infinitely beautiful, but if you change our eldest brother, I'm afraid that it will be uncomfortable to stay up all day, and none of the status there is low, if the eldest brother is bullied, we will even have a hard time standing up for him......"

Xiao Kong bowed his head angrily and muttered in a low voice:

"Not necessarily, were they only three or four years old?"

After entering the palace school, don't you still mix well?

How can it be so scary!

Shen Liangshu took a deep breath and continued:

"You also said that they were only three or four years old at the beginning, but when they were three or four years old, the little sister dared to slap the little prince, and asked the saint to laugh and say, 'Children are playing, it's nothing', change to others, but there is still such a situation?"

Xiao Kong thought about it and wanted to refute it, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to keep silent.

"Also, don't you forget, when my father and wife went to the north with the saint, a bitter cold place, living next to each other, the saint watched his younger siblings grow up, so he had this rare affection, but he could ...... to others How can there be such a blessing? We didn't go with us at the beginning, there was no love for sharing weal and woe, and now she is beautiful, you can't be greedy, we are far away when we endure hardship, and now we naturally don't have our share of the benefits, it's nothing more than fair. “

Xiao Kong's eyes were unwilling to gradually disperse, when the prince wanted to follow her father-in-law, but she was afraid of suffering, so she complained by being pregnant and wiped her tears, so that the prince couldn't bear to rest his thoughts.

Seeing this situation, Shen Liangshu hurriedly added to the fire,

"If you are really greedy, I can't be as good as you want, but my father is looking at the little brother has no title to bear, and the little sister is spoiled, so I intend to make up for one or two, if I tell my father, I will exchange it with my younger brother and sister, and the title will be given to the younger brother, just so that our children can enter the palace to study, and it is also cost-effective to grab the position of the little sister, you say okay?"

Of course - not good!

With the title in her body, she can't run away from glory and wealth, so she pushed it when she was crazy.

"It's not good, it's not good, it's all about me, don't take it to heart, it's all ...... It's all my brain, nonsense, doesn't count, doesn't count......"

Xiao Kong hurriedly waved his hand, his head shook like a rattle, and stared at Shen Liangshu tightly, for fear that the prince would resign from the title.

Shen Liangshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was not obvious, and he only asked with a straight face:

"I only listen to you, do you want a knighthood, or do you want a place for a little sister?"

Xiao Kong hurriedly said: "No, don't want the quota, don't want the quota of the little sister, don't want it, don't change it." ”

Shen Liangshu nodded and said slowly: "You don't regret it?" ”

Xiao Kong couldn't wait to swear to the sky, "No repentance, no repentance." ”

Shen Liangshu looked at Xiao Kong's for a long time, and then said slowly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, don't change it." ”

"Uh-huh!"

Xiao Kong's nodding was like pounding garlic, and he didn't dare to mention this stubble again, for fear that the son of the world would regret it or something.

##############################################################################################

How the prince and his wife talked, the agarwood in the Shenguo Mansion in the capital didn't know at all, and now she was busy greeting her aunt and little nephew back to her parents' house, and she had no time to take care of anything else.

ordered refreshments, and specially got double skin milk for the little nephew to eat, and the agarwood opened the air, and gossiped with Shen Sumei, who was holding the tea cow.

"Anyway, what's going on this time?"

In the past few years, the life of Yu's family has been very exciting, Aunt Shen and Grandma will always complain every once in a while, and Agarwood is counting the days and asking the kitchen to make snacks and meals to serve the guests.

Shen Sumei said to the girl who was retreating, "Give me a double skin milk!" ”

Seeing that the girl responded, she turned her head and said to Agarwood: "Hey, don't mention it-"

Shen Sumei's face was too obvious, and Agarwood couldn't help but shake her head and smile,

"You look like this, you don't know, you think you've lost money in business!"

The bitterness on his face was blind-

Shen Sumei snorted, "I'd rather lose the money, just ask me to have fewer lawsuits, I'm happy." ”

After that, I couldn't help but pour bitter water with my sister-in-law, and said coolly:

"My family is going to have a good woman!"

Agarwood was stunned, "Huh? ”

Shen Sumei's eyes were raised, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a mocking arc,

"My good daughter-in-law wants to take a concubine for the eldest young master, a good concubine!"

Agarwood raised her eyes, paused, and chuckled for a long time, "What's the pain?" ”

"Like, I don't know what she's making a fuss about?" Shen Sumei exhaled sullenly, "First she had a room, and then she took a concubine, so it seems that she is virtuous, and I am jealous." ”

What are you kidding, the two of them in the Yu family, there is no shortage of sons in the room, and the daughter-in-law is also diligent in taking concubines for their own men, and the old man's room is very clean, except for his wife, there is nothing else, others look at it, don't say that there is a ghost!

Shen Sumei, who felt that she had been deeply maliciously received from her cheap daughter-in-law, slapped the table angrily, and was depressed and had nowhere to say.

"Did you think she got water in her head?"

Shen Sumei was really convinced~

Agarwood covered her handkerchief and snickered, looking at Shen Sumei's sulking appearance.

My aunt and grandmother have had a good time these years, and from time to time they let their daughter-in-law add a little blockage, which seems to be much more popular.

While the two were talking, someone from outside reported that the young grandmother of the Yu family was here.

When Shen Sumei heard this, her eyes widened, her eyes rolled and she collapsed, and said in a lamented voice:

"Ouch, but I can't live, she's trying to kill me! Hiding back to her parents' house can't stop. ”

"Poof!"

Agarwood shook her shoulders and smiled.

Ordered someone to come in, and asked the girl to take the Yu family master to play in the side hall, and if she wanted to say something for a while, the child could not hear it well.

Shen Sumei held the bowl spoonful after spoonful, and in an instant she ate the double skin milk, threw the bowl on the table, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and sighed with a long breath:

"When I saw her for a while, I decided that I had no appetite, so I would eat two bites now and save myself from starvation."

Obviously a very experienced look,

It seems that I don't know how many times I've eaten it.

Shen Sumei's squint: ...... It's not deflated, it's disgusting!

Tian Fuya smiled and saluted, Agarwood smiled and sat down, the girl served tea, Agarwood waved her hand and asked everyone to go down, and there were only three people left in the room.

Agarwood began to be polite, "Is the child okay?" Why didn't you bring it today? ”

Tian Fuya gave birth to a daughter, named Sister Ran, who is the eldest daughter of the Tian family.

It is precisely because there is only one woman that Tian Fuya always does not forget to give a woman to the room, and I don't know if it is a weak heart!

But it is clear that no one in the family says anything from top to bottom, that is, Master Yu loves his only little granddaughter very much, and he spoils him like something.

Even the enlightenment is taught by hand.

is the same, even agarwood really doesn't know what Tian Fuya thinks in her heart!

Tian's posture was straight, and he replied respectfully with a smile:

"The child is fine, I'm tired of playing at home, I went out after I fell asleep, and I will kowtow to my aunt when I come back."

Agarwood smiled impeccably, "What kowtows and doesn't kowtow, I just like delicate and soft little girls, where is like the magic star in my family, which is very abrasive." ”

smiled and said a few words, but Shen Sumei was impatient, she and this cheap daughter-in-law have always been face-saving, it is best to be able to do well water without river water, if you have to deal with it, you can resolutely not say two nonsense words after you finish speaking.

At the moment, I watched Tian Shi play Tai Chi for a long time, but he didn't talk about the topic, so he looked for space and said directly:

"What's the matter with you?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Tian's eyes, but the smile on his face was just right, and he pursed his lips when he heard the words, and a shy flush swelled up on his cheeks,

"I, I don't know what to do, and I want to ask my aunt for an idea?"

Shen Sumei lowered her face suddenly, is she the wife of the house a dead one?

、

Looking for an uncle's idea?

Shen Sumei gave Agarwood a look and said lightly:

"But you want me to avoid it?"

Tian raised his head in horror, "My daughter-in-law never dares, my mother has tormented me." ”

Shen Sumei said so, but she didn't move her buttocks, and when she heard the words, she was not happy to glance at the hypocritical smiling face, she only lowered her eyes and looked at the Dankou dyed on her nails, and said coolly:

"Then we'll hear it."

It's not that she has no eyes, it's that she doesn't have the slightest confidence in this daughter-in-law, if she is embarrassed and thrown to her parents' house-

Tian's shamelessness, she still wants it!

Tian's face showed a touch of embarrassment, and he stopped talking, only glancing at the agarwood with his eyes, full of expectation.

Agarwood lowered her eyes, playing with the white porcelain teacup in her hand, for a nephew and daughter-in-law who were separated by several layers, and did not give face to her aunt and grandmother...... Wow, she's not stupid!

Tian's fingers in his sleeves tightened, slowly retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and then raised his eyes and smiled, but said slowly with some slurp:

"It's not a big deal, it's just...... It's just that I'm not angry, my aunt knows, my grandfather is not young now, and my body is not angry, so I just think about it, I want to give ...... It's hard to call my grandfather no man under his knees......"

Shen Sumei's face was full of anger, and she was about to interrupt if she couldn't hear it, Huo Ran got up, but halfway called Agarwood to pull it, and shook her head lightly at her, she pressed her impatience and listened to Tian's intermittent words:

“…… I'm a useless person, and it's not good to pick someone for my grandfather, I thought about it for a long time, and then I thought about it, but I was soft-spoken, and I didn't have any knowledge outside, so I could only be cheeky to ask my aunt to find a good person, and continue the incense for my grandfather......"

It was easy to listen to Tian's words to an end, Agarwood squinted and looked at it for a moment, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a touch of red on Tian's fingertips, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He patted Shen Sumei's hand lightly and motioned for her to wait for a while.

Straightening up slightly, Agarwood looked at Tian with a smile, with a faint tolerance in his eyes,

"Why are you doing this? How old are you now, the child's affairs are not in a hurry, first bloom and then bear fruit, you have Sister Ran, it is obvious that there is no problem with the body, you, don't think too much, if you are really not at ease, simply ask a doctor to recuperate and recuperate, and rest well, you can't say it. “

Tian lowered his head, so that people could not see his expression clearly.

Agarwood paused, she can say this, it's already the limit, and there will be no more,

She is not a person with a good heart, even these words are also for the sake of her aunt and grandmother, and now when she sees Tian like this, she suddenly lost the interest in talking, and turned around and glanced at Shen Sumei.

It's your turn!

Shen Sumei couldn't help it for a long time, she couldn't learn Agarwood's soft voice, so she just slapped the table and reprimanded:

"Think less about what you don't have, if you want to take a concubine or what, you make a fuss behind closed doors, what are you looking for your aunt? I can't die, why haven't I ever heard these words of yours, I'm a mean mother-in-law, trying to torture your little daughter-in-law, don't you dare to speak? ”

Tian hurriedly stood up, his face full of fear, but he only said one sentence,

"The mother is angry, is it the daughter-in-law."

And then - there was no more.

Shen Sumei felt that she had been fooled again, and she was not happy to cover it up.

"Knowing if it's yours or not, don't just talk about it, you have to change it. I'm just talking to you here, those things in your house have nothing to do with your aunt, you don't come to look for her bad luck, let the stepmother's maiden wife find a concubine for the eldest son of the former wife...... Are you changing the way to buckle the basin on my head, for fear that no one outside will talk about my stepmother and daughter-in-law? Young grandma don't come to this set, I told you a long time ago, I interfered in the affairs of the eldest young master's house, you just told me that you wanted to take a concubine, and there was no explanation on the side, and I came to my mother's house when I turned around. “

The more Shen Sumei spoke, the more angry she became, the real fire made her hold back, her voice was fierce, and she stared at Tian coldly,

"Everyone else is a mother-in-law who gives a concubine to her daughter-in-law and a concubine, I will give you peace of mind, I am not happy to take care of it, but you are still energetic, bullying me, you pay attention to the big one, you want to take a concubine You take it yourself, hehe...... You are the only smart person in the world, you want to be virtuous, and you don't forget to pour dirty water on my head, showing that you are a poor child......"

“…… I put up with you earlier, but you have intensified, and you are becoming more and more uninteresting, the eldest young master, you gave birth to Sister Ran, no one said anything, who in the family is not happy to see it, but your mother is not happy, the eldest young master hasn't said anything, you will send it to your own man's room one after another, if you want to be a virtuous and hot person, you will pretend to be a thorough, and pour the soup next to each other. You're still shouting that you don't have a son...... They can only be born ghosts, and I don't know what you're making a fuss about, and now you're going to take a concubine, you're jumping and happy, the left and the right are what you said, I'm surprised, you don't feel sorry for your own man, don't you? ”

Tian opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but Shen Sumei's tone was so fast that he couldn't interrupt, Tian's eyes were full of tears, biting his lip desperately, and he had to listen to his mother-in-law's power.

“…… If a man's little bit of essence and blood is given to others, you will naturally have less, and it will be even more difficult to have children. It is not uncommon for you to earn a memorial arch to add luster to the family, and it is serious to serve the good masters, I wonder if you are praised outside, and you will be happy to be happy, and you will be so happy that you will push the man out just to make a false name, which is light and heavy...... You don't look like a stupid person! ”

Shen Sumei sprayed all the time, sweeping away the depression in her heart.

She was really about to hold back her problem, she endured it earlier, who knew that she took one step back, and others took two steps forward, no, they all found her mother's house.

Really, how can they all be bastards of 'I'm smart in heaven and on earth, and everyone else is stupid'!

said that his mouth was dry, he took the teacup handed by Agarwood, and drank three cups of tea in a row, only then did he feel relieved and feel much happier.

But the good thing is only a second, and then I hear a muffled sound of 'fluttering'.

Shen Sumei's eyelids jumped, and she glanced down, feeling dejected.

Tian knelt down, with an open expression, stubbornly tilted his head, but knelt towards Shen Sumei, met the cold gaze of the cheap mother-in-law, took a deep breath, and said seriously:

"The daughter-in-law is wrong, the daughter-in-law will definitely change, and everything will be listened to in the future. Just one thing to ask the mother to call the shots for the daughter-in-law."

Agarwood's eyelids trembled slightly, no, it's coming!

Shen Sumei's face slowly straightened, her chin tightened, and she said lightly:

"Say it."

The first half of the day was nonsense, and the highlight is here.

Tian's eyes flashed with a sharp touch, and he said word by word:

"The daughter-in-law injured her body when she gave birth to Sister Ran, and it was difficult to get pregnant, and the daughter-in-law had a body in the house, so I implore my mother to allow my daughter-in-law to go to her mother and keep her son."

Agarwood slowly put down the teacup, with an uncertain look on her face.

Shen Sumei looked at Tian inch by inch, as if she knew her head again, and suddenly laughed, the sarcasm in the corner of her eyes almost turned into knife light, and stabbed Tian one by one, until she almost couldn't bear it anymore, and then suddenly closed her gaze and went back.

Touching the corners of her eyes, Shen Sumei closed her eyes slightly, and her cold voice echoed over the room.

"You are a decisive killer, I still underestimated you in the past, but my heart and liver are completely black, and now, I am still planning to tell me to carry the black pot! It's disgusting to me, and I feel sick to look at you! ”

Tian's patience turned into nothing, his lips trembled, his face turned pale, and he raised his eyes tremblingly, facing a pair of cold eyes of contempt and disgust.

I only felt a boom in my ears, and I heard Shen Sumei's short reprimand,

"Roll ——!"

Pierced into the heart, hurt into the bone marrow!
