Chapter 214: Talking about family affairs
Because he rested for one night in Taoyaoju, Shen Tingge skipped the bathing link and only changed into a simple cotton silk dress, and removed the phoenix feather and other accessories on his head, so he felt a lot more relaxed.
Mama Li helped her comb her hair, looked at the more delicate face in the bronze mirror, and sighed inaudibly.
Think about yourself, when you were young, you were also self-reliant, tall and beautiful, relying on the love of the queen mother and the trust of the emperor, and developed an arrogant and critical temperament.
But this girl is the only one who has entered her eyes.
"Mama, how are you doing these days? The emperor ......"
From the emperor's eyes when he looked at Mama Li, Shen Tingge knew that the emperor had an old love that had not been extinguished, and he didn't know if he forced Mama Li.
Men are always like this, what they can't get is always the best, especially the high-ranking ones, the more they can't get it, the more challenging it is.
Xu Wenyan's worries, she is not unclear.
Mama Li poked Shen Tingge's head and said, "What do you think of this little head melon seed a day?" ”
"Aren't I worried that you will have to leave me if you let the emperor cheat?"
Shen Tingge turned around and flatteringly hugged Mama Li's waist and rubbed gently.
"There is no feast in the world that will never be dissolved. Everyone has to go through the word separation. ”
"Mama, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Tingge asked worriedly with a raised face.
Her heart was faintly uneasy, and Mama Li's sadness infected her feelings, making her feel sad too.
Mama Li's eyes were a little sluggish, she shook her head and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered some sadness from the past." Girl, you say, will the imperial court go to war with Yujiang? ”
At this time, Shen Qingge regained her positive color, she stood up and replied seriously: "Originally, it was a matter of time, but now, I'm afraid it's imminent." Is Mama worried about Wutong Academy, or is it an inkstone? ”
After all, Xu Wenyan has been raised by Mama Li since she was a child, and she has a mother-son relationship, so it is understandable that she is worried.
Thinking like this, Shen Tingge felt a lot more at ease in his heart.
At the mention of Xu Wenyan, Mama Li took back her trance-like look, nodded and said, "That child, I always can't rest assured." Girl, you Yunyan passed on the book, let him come to see me. ”
Shen Tingge originally wondered about Emperor Beiyuan's attitude towards herself, and wanted to ask Mama Li with a stomach, but now she was more confused, and immediately wrote a secret letter calling Tianwu to come in and order her to go down.
Shen Tingge rested for a while, and then dressed neatly and went to Fushou Garden.
The uncles and uncles of the clan were very enthusiastic when they saw her, and their demeanor revealed that they were no longer perfunctory, but respectful in their hearts.
This time, they made a lot of money, and they brought two gifts in each room.
One is naturally for the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion, and the other is for Shen Tingge as a meeting gift for the elders.
Shen Tingge glanced at it lightly, this belated meeting was really timely.
It's a pity that her own father, who 'looks red when the enemy sees each other', still avoids it.
Shen Tingge suddenly thought about how much he hated himself, and he couldn't afford to provoke him and hid.
Shen Tingya seems to have really learned to be obedient, and the two of them are also respectful to Shen Tingge, and the identity of the aunt and concubine is at ease, and they sit at the bottom of the position with a peaceful expression.
The uncle looked at Shen Zhiyong's seat and asked Old Man Shen.
At this time, Shen Tianhua stood up and replied to Old Man Shen and Uncle Shen: "Back to my grandfather and uncle, the third uncle was invited by Lord Liu to ask about the editing and revision. ”
Old Man Shen's face softened significantly when he heard this, and he glanced at Shen Qingge again.
Shen Tingge lowered his eyes thoughtfully.
In fact, she was not surprised but a little surprised in her heart, it seems that all the people in their Shen family are human spirits!
She is just a little bit, this cousin not only understands but also puts it into action.
"Lord Liu? But Lord Liu Side of the Hanlin Academy? ”
It was the uncle who asked, holding his beard and asking slowly.
"Exactly"
When the eldest uncle heard this, he laughed twice and said to Old Man Shen: "Master Hou, originally I wanted to find a time to talk about this matter, since I mentioned it, I might as well tell you." I want to tell the third child about family affairs, and the woman is Liu Mingyan, the daughter of this scholar Liu. ”
Shen Tingge glanced at Aunt Hong, only to see her hanging her head, her body trembling slightly.
With a sneer in his heart, he looked at Shen Tianhua again, and smiled slightly at his inquiring gaze.
At this time, Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "That child knows that she is a rare filial daughter. Back then, the old sister of the Liu family would praise the child as long as she had a small gathering. If she hadn't insisted on keeping filial piety for her grandmother for three years, she wouldn't have missed the good fate. ”
said a rather regretful sigh, and glared at Shen Tingge, obviously talking to Shen Tingge, let her learn the filial piety of others.
Shen Tingge pretended to see it, and hesitated to speak: "Sister Liu is the identity of the concubine, Lord Liu is also a third-grade official now, if it is a continuation, I am afraid that the Liu family should not." ”
"Hehehe, county lord, if the old man comes forward in this matter, he is naturally sure."
As he spoke, he looked at Old Man Shen and waited for him to make a decision.
Old Man Shen was also happy in his heart, but--he glanced coldly at Aunt Hong, who was hanging her head, although she had been doing absurdly things recently, she was also the mother of two children, especially in the heart of the third child.
If it is a continuation of the string, Lian'er can only be a concubine, but if she is right, she is not very satisfied, and the third girl will not agree, but it is his old face that will lose something again.
"This matter, let's wait for Zhiyong to come back and discuss it before making plans. When the time comes, I will have to work hard for the eldest brother. ”
Weird!
Shen Tingge sighed in his heart, his grandfather was not a willful person.
I can see everything through, and I value the interests of the family most and face.
What else did the uncle have to say, Shen Tingge preemptively said: "What grandfather said is true." No one in the capital knows that his father has a deep affection for Aunt Hong, and he was demoted by the emperor for standing up for Aunt Hong before, if anything comes out to the emperor's ears, he is afraid that the Shen family will be implicated. ”
The Shen family is now the Hou Mansion, and there is a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and there are also people who have started to enter the clan family, so they are naturally most afraid of being implicated.
Old Man Shen snorted coldly, stared at Aunt Hong with his eyes like torches, and said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, there is a difference, with me Shen Zhen alive for a day, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen!" Hong Yu has not been in the Shen Mansion for a year or two, and he still understands the seriousness of things. ”
Everyone's eyes were staring at Aunt Hong unkindly at this time, as if she would never tolerate it as long as she endangered their interests.
Aunt Hong took a deep breath, raised her head with tears in her eyes, got up and said slowly: "What the old lady said is that after the concubine goes back, she will definitely persuade the old man to take care of the overall situation." ”
With Aunt Hong's statement, Old Man Shen put away his majestic gaze and said: "You are Lian'er's biological mother, and the old man who taught Lian'er is in his eyes, and the Shen family will not treat you badly!" ”
In the Hibiscus Garden, Shen Qianya's voice was a little sharp.
"Mother, you said that I would be the most noble concubine of the Shen family, I don't want to be a concubine, I don't want it!"
Aunt Hong sat in front of the bronze mirror and stroked the corners of her forehead, in the past few months, she felt a few thin wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
Hearing her daughter's angry reprimand, she smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry, my mother won't be at their mercy!" Ya'er, you just have to have a good relationship with the little slut and win her trust. ”
Aunt Hong's eyes tightened, and her expression was a little hideous.
