Shen Man's ancestor, the first generation of Chen Guogong, was originally just a horse thief leader in the mountains and rivers of the northwest, leading a group of brothers to rob houses, extort caravans, traffick horses, and do the work of tying his head to the waistband of his trousers. "After the first time, there was a great chaos in the world, and these already very fierce horse thieves simply picked up the guy and came up with an exposé. Later, they were recovered by Qin Yan, Taizu of Xia, and they have been fighting the world with him.

This dozen is a full four generations, nearly fifty years.

Qin Yan, the ancestor of Xia, was the eldest son of the head of the family with the surname of Anointing, and he fell to cloth by mistake, worked alone, and coincidentally unified the north and established the Xia Dynasty, and his life can be described as very legendary. Because of his past experience, Qin Yan knew the style of the family very well, and he knew in his heart that even if he won the world, he would not be able to shake the deep-rooted rule of the family. At the critical moment, these gate valve nobles are not only unreliable, but will also bite you back. Because of this, although he is kind and pleasant to many families, he mainly appeases, but when he is promoted and reused, he mostly uses his old subordinates from humble backgrounds, like spring breeze and rain, and cuts the rights of the family little by little.

After Taizu died of illness, Taizong succeeded to the throne, and the emperor grew up in the flames of war, wielding a broadsword and killing people at the age of eight. Over the years, he has been fighting in the east and west, and after several hardships of life and death, he has achieved a lot of achievements, and he has also developed a reckless temper, and likes to eat meat in large pieces with his generals, drink wine, and scold his mother loudly. In his opinion, the children of the family are greased and powdered, neither yin nor yang, and they are poor and exquisite, and they are sick to their stomachs when they look at it. He didn't beat the other party out to save face, and these people still dared to chirp crookedly in front of him?

The two generations of emperors are such thoughtful and capable masters, and the life of the family is not not bad, and it is far from the wind and rain of the previous dynasty. The family that is out of balance in their hearts inevitably plots secretly, always thinking of overthrowing the rule of the Qin royal family and changing to an emperor who is in line with their own interests. Because of this, during the southern expedition, in order to stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi, Taizong not only could not drive the expedition in person, but also did not dare to let the prince get into danger, so he had to let his second son Qin Heng, who is also the current sage, be the commander of the three armies and go south to attack Chen.

That year, Qin Heng was twenty-six years old.

The young prince, who has only been on the battlefield a few times, is not bad at courage and strategy even if he has a noble status. But those generals from a family were bent on grabbing such an immortal achievement, and there were all kinds of suppression and provocation by the prince's faction, and the battle had not yet been fought, but the open guns and hidden arrows of their own people were endless, which really made Qin Heng feel powerless. Fortunately, the two immortal generals who were born in the heart of the emperor - Shen Bao, the commander of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, and Mo Chen, the governor of Wuzhou, gave full support to Qin Heng, so that the southern expedition could be carried out smoothly, destroying the withering and decaying, and dominating the world.

Although Mo Chen's son is not successful, his eldest grandson is quite promising, and he can be regarded as a successor, and Shen Bao ...... There are four sons and seven grandchildren, all of whom can fight well, but in the process of the southern expedition and the crusade against Rouran's large-scale invasion, they ended up with a family full of adult men all killed in battle, and there was no successor. In addition to Shen Man, the only daughter of the youngest son, Shen Huai, the great-great-grandson of the infant great-great-grandson, was left behind in the world.

Although the Duke of Qianguo has won a hereditary title from Yipinguo because of his great military exploits and the trust of the emperor, the title system of Daxia has always been strict, and the royal family and clan have complained bitterly, not to mention the honorable? In this case, the government of the state of Qian had to be lowered by two ranks according to the system, and it was reduced to a county government of the second grade, not to mention the number of fields and fiefs that were routinely reduced. If it weren't for Queen Mu's intention to suppress Qin Ke, she didn't want to increase his power by choosing a famous and noble girl as his wife, and she would have to pick a dissatisfying one among the nobles. The sage didn't want to refute Queen Mu's intentions, but he didn't want the eldest son to find a wife who was too bad. It's just that Mo Chen's eldest granddaughter is engaged early, and the position of this generation of princesses can't be the turn of the family to decline, and Shen Man, who can't see the slightest trend of recovery, sit down.

"The current Shen family, even if you want to promote Zhao Jiu......" Shen Man laughed at himself and sighed, "The team is in this position, I'm afraid I can't satisfy him, right?" I don't know the position of Sima in the Prince's Mansion, is it qualified or not? ”

When July heard this, he was shocked.

Qin Ke has always ignored mundane things, and when he was a prince, he spent all day long, reciting poems, buying antiques, buying calligraphy and paintings, raising customers, buying jewelry and clothes for concubines and even singers and dancers, and didn't care about other things. After becoming a prince and owning fiefdoms and land, he was even more lavish and spent money like water.

Seeing that the eldest son of the emperor could not support the stage so much, others also breathed a sigh of relief, and they were happy that he was so chic and free, and no one tried to advise and restrain him. There are also some people who figure out their intentions and change their ways to tempt Qin Ke to play, how to lose the family and how to come, as long as they don't move their minds to the court. If it weren't for Shen Man's well-managed family, even if the Acting Wangfu would not be glamorous on the face, it would not be easy for Qin Ke to buy whatever he wanted, and he would be as loser as he wanted.

Shen Man is shrewd and capable, quite trusted by Qin Ke, the internal affairs of the palace on behalf of the king, such as the Yongye field purchased by the king, the expenses of the public school, etc., are indeed up to her, if she wants to buy land for the palace to do business, just say it to the king. But these are not the bulk of the income of the royal palace, because Qin Ke's fiefdom and the land given by the emperor are his own pinch, and the prince's mansion chief Shi and family orders are responsible for taking care of them. In other words, on the issue of foreign affairs, if Qin Ke did not agree, Shen Man would not be able to say a word.

"Lady, you ......"

"It's getting late, you go and rest first! I have my own plans for these things. Shen Man put aside these words, and then stretched out his right hand and stroked his daughter's cheek. In the silent night, a soft sigh came, "In order to wrap my child, I have to fight, I can't be killed by those people and eaten alive, right?" ”

In July, his nose was sore, and his eyes were already red: "Don't say such frustrating words, your body is already very good, and the filial piety period has passed, and you will have a healthy and healthy little Langjun with the king, and the days will be better and better." ”

Shen Man nodded lightly, as if agreeing with July's opinion, but July who was relieved didn't see it, Shen Man, who was facing away from her, his eyes were extremely cold.

gave birth to a son, and can indeed inherit Qin Ke's Yiqiē, whether they stay here for the rest of their lives or return to Chang'an, they will have something to rely on for the rest of their lives, but will her eldest brother die in vain? She gave up the prosperous Chang'an, desperately accompanied Qin Ke to live a poor and hard life, and almost lost her life, but she just wanted to be a virtuous and generous wife who was confined to the inner house like before!

Qin Ke is a good person, this is true, but his ears are too soft, and his flesh and blood relatives are facts that cannot be erased...... Shen Man gently covered Qin Wan with the quilt, walked out lightly, closed the door, and came to the compartment.

"Wrapping up and sleeping?"

"After a long day, I slept soundly." At the mention of her daughter, Shen Man's face had a slight smile, but it gradually turned into a sudden, "Seeing her today, I suddenly remembered that the eldest lady and the second brother have also reached the age of saying goodbye." ”

When Qin Ke heard this, his face showed a little embarrassment, mixed with a little concern, a little helplessness, and an indescribable look.

Seeing this, Shen Man sneered in his heart, but his face did not show anything, and continued to chatter: "The concubines of our family, even if they have royal blood, but there are many powerful people in Chang'an City, and they all have a pair of rich and noble eyes, I am afraid that they will not marry them, and at best, they will only marry into the family of the squire and the Shu clan who have no worries about food and clothing." Such a big gap, to the pampered eldest lady Laizi, there are really some grievances, if you marry an illiterate lady back, the second brother will definitely not be happy. But what can be done, let's ...... Alas, I'm afraid that they won't be able to accept their situation and make a fuss......"

Qin Ke was still a little soft-hearted, but when he heard the words "worry-free food and clothing", he seemed to suddenly wake up, the more he listened to it, the more he felt tightness and shortness of breath, and saw that his wife was still worried about the marriage of his concubine and concubine, he couldn't help it, and interrupted: "Manniang, don't worry about them!" They stayed in Chang'an, although they lost their status, but there is still the private property I bought for them, and Chang'an is extremely prosperous, not to mention rice and flour diesel, and even the hot water for clean noodles has to be sold. And what about us here? The merchant only passed once in five days, not to mention the few things, the quality was also shoddy, your bronze mirror was faint, and there was no one to polish. I'm so incompetent, I'm so tired that you have to feed the chickens and ducks......" Every time I think of this, he is so ashamed in his heart! I wanted to go down to the ground to help, but Shen Man stopped him all the time, I'd rather be tired and sick than let him get involved in these rough jobs, and the balance in his heart had already tilted.

Hearing him say this, Shen Man let out an "oh", but he was still a little worried: "I know they won't have a bad time, but Chang'an has every inch of land, Da Lang, can you really keep the private property you bought?" If you can't keep it, there is no dowry, and it is ...... for a woman."

Because of his own experience, Taizu is very harsh on the concubine, and the Great Xia law directly stipulates that the children of the concubine cannot inherit their father's property, even though the rules of the heavenly family are unusual, that is, to give a few more titles, if there is no title, then you can only receive a lot in the eyes of ordinary people, and after these heavenly nobles seem to be pitifully small settling-in expenses, get out and live the life of ordinary people.

Although the law is strict, it is nothing more than human affection, as a father's distressed daughter, he took his own land and manor to her as a dowry, as long as it is not too excessive, everyone will not blame.

Rao is like this, talking about this kind of thing that he used to think was righteous, but he secretly hid it from his wife, Qin Ke was still a little embarrassed, so he coughed, pretending to be careless and said: "These little things, don't care, our wrappers are not without a ...... marriage"

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized this fact, and after a few snorts, he didn't know what to say.

Shen Man accepted it when he saw it, and sighed: "I'm not too kind, I've fallen into such a situation, and I still think about them who are much better than us." It's just that...... Alas, I treated them exactly before before, and there was something wrong with them every once in a while. It's okay if we don't go back, but if we go back, we will ...... again I guess I'm going to have to live in peace. ”

It's good that she doesn't say this, as soon as she says this, a nameless fire swells up in Qin Ke's heart, and it's not good to rush at his wife who shares the joys and sorrows with him, and he rushes at the concubines, concubines and concubines who are far away in the sky, this qiē is all caused by himself. He was silent for a long time, and Fang said sullenly: "I know that you are hard-faced and soft-hearted, and I am afraid that I will be embarrassed." But whether we can go back is still a matter of sight, and it is too early to think about this. ”

Too early? No, I don't think it's too early! Queen Mu is gone, how many years can the saint last?
