Chapter 35: The Secret Passage of the Palace
The ghost sent the gods, Shen Wenwei really followed her into the courtyard next door, and after chatting, it turned out that this woman was actually the second lady of Shen Qian. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no father's pain and no mother's love, Shen Wenwei doesn't know most of the specific and hidden situations of Shen Qian, and then, the woman who is peeling dried fruits for her, Zhang Yun, popularized common sense for her.
The story of Shen Qian starts from the founding of the country.
Once, there were three countries on the land of Chengguo, Zhao State in the east, Quliang in the west, Xiao State is located in the middle, at first, Zhao State wanted to fight Qu Liang, gathered troops in the north of Xiao State and confronted each other in the area where the other two countries intersected, at the same time, the domestic situation of Xiao State was not good, one side expressed support for Zhao State, one side chose to support Qu Liang, and Xiao State was seriously corroded, the country could not support the launch of military wars at all, the monarch was mediocre, the court was traitorous, and the internal arguments were endless, but Zhao State pointed the tip of the knife at Xiao State,
At this time, Xiao Xian, the first emperor of Chengguo, replaced the original monarch, raised the banner of resistance, it was extremely difficult at the beginning, through unremitting efforts, Xiao Xian finally did, fifteen years to destroy the Zhao State, five years to merge Qu Liang, and finally divided the territory into one, the beginning of the country, Emperor Chengxian ascended the throne, the year name, the first year of Chengtian.
As the founding hero, the Shen family is duty-bound to enter the ranks of several powerful people in Jinghua City.
However, the flowers do not bloom often, the scene does not stay often, after Xiao Xian's death, his younger brother Xiao Rui ascended the throne, Shuntian nine years, Xiao Rui sent the Shen family to fight in the northwest grassland on the country of Azi Gulun, Shuntian ten years because of traitors betrayed, Shen general Shen Cheng, Shen Tianqi, the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Hongqi, the eldest son of the Shen family, and many family soldiers, died tragically, the second son Shen Guqi was seriously injured and fell into a coma, so far, the Shen family's vitality was greatly injured. Shen Tianqi's wife and his love is as deep as the sea, after receiving the exact news, he hanged himself the next day, leaving no heirs, the second room of the Shen Mansion is the personal maid of Mrs. Shen, who died shortly after giving birth to Shen Hongqi, and his wife is Zhang Yun who told Shen Wenwei all this, similarly, no heirs.
Since then, in order to avoid sadness, Old Madam Shen no longer let the people in the Bow call Shen Guqi Shen Third Master, and Feng Minhui naturally became Mrs. Shen.
When it comes to Mrs. Shen, Zhang Yun can be regarded as solving the confusion she has always had.
First, the arrogance inadvertently revealed, which is not a temperament possessed by ordinary noblewomen, is more of a disregard for the people in the world.
Second, the addition of furnishings in the room is too luxurious, and a complete set of golden silk nanmu furniture is worth a lot.
Mrs. Shen, formerly known as Xiao Yuan, is fifty-three this year, she happened to be born in the year before Xiao Xian pulled the banner to rebel against the original monarch, Xiao Yuan is the youngest daughter of the monarch of Xiao Guoguo, and naturally loves it in every way, and when Xiao Xian pushed the former monarch down, except for the traitors who committed the most heinous crimes and died one by one, most of the other royal family members did not rush to kill them all, Xiao Yuan lived very well, and even gave marriage to Shen Cheng, the general of the smash hit Shen family.
"Grandmother, her background is amazing." Opening his mouth, Shen Wenwei threw in a walnut and sighed.
"Hehe, four girls, what do you think of Feng Minhui?" Squinting, Zhang Yun looked at her expression.
"It's not easy." Pricked up her ears, she knew that Zhang Yun was going to continue to talk about gossip, Zhang Yun didn't have a mother-in-law on her head and no husband by her side, in Shen Qian's days, she must have been quite bored, what tricks can a person play?
"That's nature!" In her early thirties, she is still handsome, Zhang Yun loves to dress up, her posture is like a willow, and her smile is quite flavorful.
"Do you know the most powerful families in Jinghua City?" While speaking, Zhang Yun looked at Shen Wenwei's sample of listening carefully, and she felt nervous, like a treasure. "Let me tell you about the top four, the Shen family is in decline, at the bottom, the leader is the Wang family, I heard that the Wang family started in business at first, and then entered the official career."
"So you can also be in the first place?" Shen Wenwei still knew that at the beginning, doing business could also be at the top of the big families in Jinghua City, obviously, there were other things inside.
"Four girls, do you know what is the surname of the Queen Mother today?"
"King?"
"Yo, you're not stupid."
Shen Wen's face fell slightly, you are stupid, your whole family is stupid.
"The second or third ranked can be regarded as between the two and the middle, it's hard to say, one is the Nalan family, and the other is this family." Not seeing the look that flashed on Shen Wenwei's face, Zhang Yun continued.
"What is the origin of the Feng family?"
"Feng Jia, one of the founding heroes, the current left minister is Feng Ze, Feng Minhui's father."
"No wonder ......"
"That's why Feng Minhui's slut dares to be so cross!" Without hiding her disgust and hatred, Zhang Yun threw away the walnut shell and pinched the nuts tightly, as if the object between her fingers was Feng Minhui that she couldn't deal with.
Eat walnuts and don't talk.
"Fourth girl, you were young at that time, I don't think you remember." There was no expected 'hatred of the same enemy', Zhang Yun was disappointed, but she did not forget to provoke Shen Wenwei's due hatred.
"Huh?"
"Do you remember what happened when you were five years old?"
His eyes widened and he looked at her seriously, and Shen Wen shook his head slightly.
"After ten years of Shuntian, Shen Guqi recovered from his injury, and he automatically asked Yingsu to guard the frontier land, this walk, the number of times he came back can be counted, it seems to be three years of ingots (after Xiao Rui's death, his son Xiao Cong succeeded to the throne, the year name Yuanbao), Shen Guqi hugged you back, although I don't know who your mother is, but you were really tight when you were a child, and it hurts, and whoever hugged you laughed happily."
"Until you were five years old, Shen Guqi came back, no longer like the love of the past, someone heard that Shen Guqi said something after being drunk You are not his own child, after that, he fell seriously ill, Feng Minhui, the slut almost died, the old lady was anxious, and invited Zhang Daochang of Yongxi Taoist Temple."
"The Taoist chief came to inspect, I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, the source of the filth in the house is you!"
"According to Zhang Daochang, you are the reincarnation of the fox girl, specializing in absorbing the essence of popularity, if you live past fifteen, you will definitely destroy the Shen Mansion, and even bring disaster to the country and the people!"
"Hehe, where can the old lady take this responsibility, send her only son out of the house for treatment, and replace all the people around you, but it's a pity, it's a pity, you can't die of hunger, this is also your life!"
Shen Wen was silent slightly, thinking about when he would go to Yongxi Taoist Temple and visit the legendary Daochang Zhang by the way.
"Four girls, Feng Minhui has done a lot of tricks and feet in it, do you want me to tell you one by one?"
"Four girls, she has such a vicious heart, she has harmed you for so many years, you shouldn't have to live again, don't you want to take back what belongs to you?"
"Four girls, why don't we ...... together"

As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind.
Shen Wenwei folded the two manuscripts in his hand and stuffed them into his arms, walked back with a smile, and thanked someone for the thousandth and first time in his heart, the silver he gave came in handy quickly, and once again reminded himself that money is king!
deliberately staggered Chunli, she didn't bother to care where she went to find her, she dared to hook up with Xiang Rong in a bright way, she had to be cold to her, and she did that in front of the main master, it was too faceless.
No longer go back to the earthen house, although there are only two rooms in the courtyard, it is much better than before, Shen Wenwei has not yet pushed open the courtyard door, and he saw the boy probing his brain in the crack of the door.
"Weiwei!" The boy peeked at her through the crack in the door, and immediately opened a courtyard door, with a strong sense of vigilance, looked east and west, took her hand, and walked in.
"Why are you here?" Seeing him look like an 'underground worker', Shen Wenwei couldn't help laughing.
Hearing her speak, he didn't express joy, but asked why, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at her seriously.
Shen Wen looked at him with a smile, and at a glance, as if he saw him a few years later through his immature face, it was hard to imagine that a boy who was only ten years old now would become such a person in the future. At that time, he had a pair of eyes, a cold star, two curved eyebrows, like paint, and a majestic style that was invincible.
"Weiwei, you don't come to me!" Letting go of her hand, Zhao Xiang put up a face that was not handsome but handsome, and said angrily.
"I ......" For a while, Shen Wenwei really didn't want to say anything, she really forgot.
"Ouch, don't cry your nose, shame." In addition to being much cleaner and neater than before, Zhao Xiang didn't notice any other changes in her, and regarded her as that Shen Wenwei, roaring, afraid that she would cry, he quickly took out something wrapped in oil paper from his arms. "Come, take it."
"What is this?" After being reprimanded by the little adult, Shen Wen smiled slightly and accepted it silently.
"The baked cakes that my mother brought back, I bought them from Yunji, they are delicious, I left you a sugar filling that you like." Zhao Xiang carefully unfolded the layers of oiled paper, and when he saw her smiling, he also smiled. "Come on, eat quickly, I've been warming the kang head."
Indeed, the cake in Shen Wenwei's hand was still warm.
"Divide half of you, I can't eat the whole." Worried that Chunli would suddenly come back and bump into her, Shen Wenwei took Zhao Xiang to the earthen house, because Cui's mother was 'wiped out' there, so Chunli definitely didn't dare to step further.
"If you can't eat it, wrap it up, and eat it when you're hungry." Not looking at the delicious baked cakes, Zhao Xiang stared at the ground and said, he knew that the reason why Shen Wenwei was obviously older than him, but looked so thin was because he had not been able to eat enough and not warm for a long time, so Zhao Xiang often brought his own food to her.
"Thank you." Taking a bite of the baked cake, Shen Wenwei was so moved that his nose was sour.
At the end of last year, they were entrusted by Shen Guqi to bring a letter and came to Jinghua City to visit Mrs. Shen, the old lady read the letter and left them orphans and widows, and they couldn't refuse, so Zhao's mother Zhao Xiang stayed to live for a while. Originally, it would have been okay, but when something happened at the beginning of the year, Zhao's mother said a few words for the bullied Shen Wenwei, offending the old lady and Feng Minhui, and their lives were not very easy.
"Weiwei, don't you know, I saw you that day......" Shen Wenwei ate the baked cakes, and when he saw her sit up from the coffin, his heart jumped to his throat, incredible. Did you really go to the Netherworld? ”
"I'm talking nonsense."
"Oh." A look of loss flashed across Zhao Xiang's face.
"What? Would you like to go too? asked jokingly, but unexpectedly, Zhao Xiangzhen gave her an affirmative answer.
"Hmm." Nodding, Zhao Xiang tugged at his cuffs. "I miss my dad."
Speechless, Shen Wenwei suddenly felt that the baked cake in her mouth was too dry to swallow, and after a moment of silence, she took his hand.
"You see, they all say that fate is in the palm prints." Flipping over his hand, she pointed to a few clear lines of palm prints and said slowly. "Perhaps, something was predestined in the beginning."
I don't know what to think of, Zhao Xiang's eyes were dyed a faint red.
"But." She clenched his hand and formed a fist, wrapping it in her own hand. "The palm print is in your hand."
A colorful flash of light shuttled through his mind, and in an instant, Zhao Xiang seemed to have an epiphany, blushing, gradually passing away, he grinned, revealing a neat row of bright teeth.
"Do you have a dream?" When he was most hungry and cold, he gave himself warmth, Shen Wenwei is a person who remembers to repay her kindness, she naturally will not let those dark negative energies encroach on Zhao Xiang's future.
"Dreams?"
"For example, what kind of person do you want to be?"
"Someone like my dad." Without thinking, he opened his mouth and answered. "My dad...... He is not a traitor. ”
Zhao Xiang's sudden words, like a silk thread, strung together the words she had heard, only stunned for a moment, she quickly covered his mouth, and his open heart to her had to be closed tightly for the time being.
"What? You don't believe me? Zhao Xiang held her hand, his emotions were out of control, and his little hand, which was not much flesh, turned red, and his finger bones were crunchy.
"It hurts."
"I'm sorry." Hurriedly letting go of his hand, he hung his head.

After dinner, Shen Wenwei learned Yuefeng's technique and successfully attacked Chunli and knocked Chunli unconscious, leaving her to lie on the chair in a coma, and Shen Wenwei went out with a cat.
The destination, the courtyard where the Zhao family's mother and son are located.
Or because of Shen Wenwei's 'deception of the corpse' on the day, Zhao's mother asked Mrs. Shen to slowly stop for a few more days before being buried, which angered the old lady, and the words she said really embarrassed Zhao's mother, and later, she was relieved to learn that Shen Wenwei was safe and sound, and learned that Shen Wenwei fell into the water and injured her arm, and her heart was raised, as a mother, Zhao's mother was reluctant to see Shen Wenwei, who was equivalent to having no father and no mother, being hurt.
Despite this, Mother Zhao didn't have the face to step out of the yard.
She didn't dare to go to see Shen Wenwei, and the only thing she could do in recent days was to find a shop on the street so that they could move out soon after.
"Aunt Zhao." In the dim candlelight, Zhao's mother carefully sewed Zhao Xiang's clothes.
"Wen Wei?!" Raising her eyes in shock, she rubbed it again, put down the clothes in her hand, walked through in two steps, hugged the girl at the door, and hid her deep in her arms like a mother. "Okay? No wonder Aunt Zhao didn't go to see you, Wen Wei, come and show me your wounds, they said they hurt your whole arm! ”
Shen Wenwei smiled lightly on her chest, and the more it spread, the wrist was two-thirds longer than the elbow, but it really couldn't reach the entire arm.
"I'll take a look, ouch, this ......" lifted her sleeves, Zhao's mother was red-eyed, Shen Wenwei was not married yet, and she was in this high-gate compound, and her mother-in-law in the future might not be able to dislike it, thinking of this, Zhao's mother was even more uncomfortable.
"It's okay, Aunt Zhao, I have something I want to ask you, where is Xiaoxiang?" Listening to Zhao Xiang's words earlier, it really shocked Shen Wenwei.
If that's the case, why is his father Shen Guqi like that?
"He went to return the book to the eldest prince, what, you say?" Seeing her seriousness, Mother Zhao closed the door and asked. (To be continued.) )
