The old lady didn't want to care about this bad thing, but frowned and waved her hand, indicating that she was tired.

Seeing this, Shen Siye and Feng Shi hated it to death, this old woman took so much of their filial piety money on weekdays, but today she is really facing the people in the second room, but she is unwilling to meddle in this matter, I knew that there would be today's result, and they still gave her a fart money all these years?!

In contrast, Shen Qianqiu didn't care much, just glanced at Feng and the fourth brother lightly, but the coldness in his eyes was extremely strong.

"Fourth brother, no matter what, Nian Nian is the second brother and my daughter, even if she grew up in the countryside before, so what? She always has my Shen Qianqiu's blood on her body! The fool of the Wu family may be suitable for your daughter, but he is not even worthy of lifting shoes for my daughter! ”

Shen Qianqiu was very angry about today's incident, so his tone was also extremely heavy, "No matter what your idea is, it's best to put away that little bit of caution for me, otherwise Nian Nian will lose a hair, and don't blame me for being ruthless as a second brother!" ”

After speaking, he looked coldly at the family of three who had froze, and went back directly with Shen Niannian.

Shen Niannian has never seen his father treat his family with such an attitude, and even he is very fond of Shen Ningyu, a niece, who used to pity her frail and sickly, and specially instructed her not to bully others just because she is a descendant.

But when she was a child, this cousin, who was two or three years younger than her, often went to her father to pretend to be pitiful and shed tears in order to rob her of her things. The one who was said every time was herself.

Speaking of which, Shen Qianqiu is indeed a very good father, but she is not blindly spoiled for her children, when she was young, she was not punished by her father, but compared to the eldest brother who is a son, her punishment as a daughter is not too severe.

But it is precisely because of this that Shen Niannian didn't like this seventh sister very much since she was sensible, and she rejected her from the bottom of her heart.

I followed my father to the study. Along the way, Shen Qianqiu's face was not good-looking.

Shen Mingcheng sighed lightly. lowered his voice to her and said, "Dad's recent pressure is not small, and Lincheng is going to have a new prefect, who is also a local." all these years. The outsiders who were officials in Lincheng were all squeezed out by these local snakes. When Dad came, there were still a dozen officials, but now only he, Uncle Wang and Uncle Lin are left. ”

Shen Niannian blinked and frowned. "How so? These people in the city are so xenophobic? But when I went out on the street today, I saw that the locals here were getting along very well with the outsiders. ”

Shen Mingcheng smiled helplessly, "What you see are ordinary people, but it's not so harmonious for officialdom, the local officials in Lincheng want to be their own soil emperor here, but how can the one in Kyoto agree?" So I tried my best to catch my father's mistakes, in the past few years, my father has been conscientious, and he didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness, but now in the city, I'm afraid it's not easy to be alone. ”

When Shen Niannian heard this, he immediately fell silent.

For things in the officialdom, she is just a woman, and she doesn't know the twists and turns, so she doesn't know how hard her father has worked to keep his current official position.

He was originally an official who was exiled by the emperor, and if nothing else, he probably wouldn't be able to return to Kyoto in this life, restore the title, and repeat the glory of the Shen family.

Father is working so hard, isn't it for the Shen family?

But the people in this family did not know his difficulties, and when he was worried outside, they added to his troubles at home, so how could his father bear it?

Shen Niannian looked at the back of his father in front of him with some concern.

When she was young, her father was like a mountain, full of majesty, which made her close and couldn't help but be in awe at the same time, but now her father's back is no longer as tall as it used to be, and even her temples have gradually grown white silk, so that she really began to realize that her father ...... It's really old.

Without saying anything all the way, Shen Qianqiu took a pair of children into the study, and the close-fitting little girl immediately went out and guarded the door in case the partition wall had ears.

As soon as Shen Qianqiu entered the study, he went to the table and sat down, looked at the two brothers and sisters with tiger faces, and scolded angrily, "What's wrong?" Don't think I'm troublesome enough?! One or two, are they going to give me a look at it? ”

Shen Niannian saw that his father was angry, but looking at his appearance, he was obviously not really angry, so he hurriedly smiled at him flatteringly, poured a glass of water and handed it to Shen Qianqiu, "Dad, don't be angry, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't bother you with these things." ”

Shen Qianqiu looked at her daughter's sensible appearance, and the depression in her heart had decreased a lot, but she sighed helplessly, "I am your father, I know what you are thinking, and I know what you suspect again, but Niannian, she is your grandmother after all, even if it is wrong, you can't embarrass her in front of everyone, otherwise it will have a great impact on your reputation!"

There is that kind of thing today, whose idea is this, your father and I also know it in our hearts, today your fourth aunt and they have completely hated you, with her grudge nature, she will definitely find you trouble, these days, you don't want to go to the street for the time being. ”

Shen Niannian pouted a little unwillingly, "Dad, even if the fourth aunt wants to find trouble with me, won't she be able to find it if I don't go to the street?" Don't worry, my daughter has grown up, and she is no longer the little girl she was back then, if the fourth aunt really wants to frame me, I will definitely not let her succeed. ”

"Dad, let's take this opportunity to split up."

Shen Mingcheng, who was listening to the father and daughter chatting, suddenly spoke.

Shen Qianqiu was stunned, looked at him with a frown, and said, "You're talking like this again!" ”

Shen Mingcheng pursed his lips, with a reluctant expression, "Dad, there are things you and I know very well, if it weren't for you, I would have moved out with my wife and children." How did my mother die back then, do you really think that it is enough to execute an Aunt Feng? Let me still live in this kind of home, my heart is so aggrieved! ”

Shen Niannian looked at his eldest brother with a look of resentment. He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

She also doesn't like the current Shen family, the people in the three-room, four-room and five-room rooms are not fuel-efficient lamps, and now that the Shen family is down, they all blame their father for this crime, thinking that it was their father who harmed the Shen family into such a field, and now the fourth aunt has a grudge, which is really hard to live a quiet life.

Not to mention......

A handsome and cold face suddenly appeared in Shen Niannian's mind, if that person really counts, then wait for this matter to be made public. It's hard to get rid of these people who want to take advantage all the time.

The reason why the Shen family was rejected by the emperor at the beginning. Although many of them are because of the relationship in the officialdom, one of the reasons is that the temperament of the other people in the Shen family has offended many high-ranking officials and nobles in Kyoto, and few can look down on them.

Shen Niannian didn't want to wait for him to get married in the future. It will be like when I married into the Yun family. From time to time, I was called back by my grandmother. I just wanted to dig something good out of her hand.

Therefore, when Shen Mingcheng said about the separation, she did not say anything. In fact, it is also silently agreed.

Shen Qianqiu has not respected the old lady as much as before since the incident with his aunt, after all, behind the death of his beloved woman, there was actually an old lady's handwriting, which made him unacceptable, and he also had a mustard in his heart.

Shen Mingcheng saw through this point and brought it up again, otherwise if he brought it up like before, he was afraid that he would be blasted out of the study by his father again.

Shen Qianqiu had a look of helplessness in his eyes, and sighed lightly, "If you want to split up, it's not easy to talk about, your fifth uncle will definitely not agree." ”

Listening to what he meant, it is estimated that he also wants to split up, after all, this big family is crowded into such a small house, which is prone to contradictions.

And today, the old lady actually helped Sifang to persecute Shen Niannian, which was also a thorn in his heart.

For so many years, although Shen Qianqiu did not have the fertility of his biological mother to the old lady, in the end, he still watched her raise himself and regressed repeatedly, even if this nurturing grace was only a few years, it changed because of the birth of the fifth brother, he still abides by filial piety, is humble to the younger brother, and has never had any disobedience, if the old lady wants something, even if it is expensive, he will get it.

It's just that the old lady was fine when she was young, but as she got older and older, she became confused, and it didn't seem to be the same thing to be arrogant to the fifth brother, and even the power in the house was held by her, which made it a miasma.

The reason why she agreed to Shen Ningshuang marrying into the Yun family not long after Ji Lu was not because she wanted her daughter to change to a better living environment, so that her temperament would change greatly because of some messy things every day.

"Dad, what's so hard about this?" When Shen Mingcheng heard that it was because of this, he immediately laughed, and said with a hint of mockery, "The old lady has been reluctant to split up, isn't it because she knows that the fifth uncle can't live without us?" In that case, we just need to start with the fifth uncle. ”

"It's easy to say, but your fifth uncle is cunning and arrogant, we want him to agree to the separation of the family, it's not easy, he is not a fool, if he still wants to live a quiet life, he will definitely not split up." Shen Qianqiu sighed heavily, he was ten years older than his fifth brother, it can be said that he grew up watching him grow up, and he was originally treated as his own brother, but his fifth brother didn't know what the old lady said, he was quite sticky to him when he was young, but after being a little sensible, he distanced himself from him.

Even after the title of the Marquis Mansion was inherited by him, there were some rumors, watching him become more and more like a gentleman, which made Shen Qianqiu, who was originally full of hope for the fifth brother, extremely disappointed, and over time, he no longer cared about it.

"Dad, the eldest brother is right, if you want to split the family, then you can only let the fifth uncle open his mouth to his grandmother, so that even if we don't open our mouth, my grandmother will split up." Shen Niannian had an idea in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Isn't the reason why grandmother is reluctant to split up the family because the fifth uncle's family has no ability, and she is afraid that she will have no source of livelihood after leaving us?" What does Uncle Fifth like? My favorite is silver!

Chapter 3

Now our Shen family is no longer the Shen family of the past, and there is not much money for him to squander, so he has to rely on us all the time, but if the fifth uncle suddenly gets a big windfall, do you think he will be willing to share it with our family? ”

"Yes, Daddy! Nian Nian is right, as long as the fifth uncle has enough silver in his hand to make his heart move, then the separation of the family will definitely be successful! Shen Mingcheng clapped his hands and said with a sudden realization.

Shen Qianqiu smiled bitterly, "Silver? It's easy to say, if you don't have 10,000 taels of silver, where is your fifth uncle willing to easily divide the family? And now, we don't have much money in this room. ”

The second room is not like the other rooms, they all have the silver in the hands of the fourth room, they all use the silver to support the family, they have no family background in the past few years, and Shen Qianqiu's little money is also going to be divided by each room, these days, Shen Qianqiu is worrying about these things!

"Dad, you don't have any money, but I do!"

Shen Niannian remembered the silver tickets that Yi Qinglan gave her to Xiangyue, pursed her lips, although she was a little reluctant to use them, but now, she had to take them out and use them temporarily, but in the future, this silver will definitely have to be returned.

"You have?" The father and son of the Shen family looked at her in surprise, and then suddenly realized, since Lord Ling liked her, how could he not give her the silver taels by her side?

It's just that Shen Qianqiu was reluctant to use King Ling's silver, and shook his head with a calm face to refuse, "Where did your silver come from, my father knows it in his heart, although Lord Ling is indeed pleased with you now, but Niannian, before this officially becomes a family, you can't accept what he gives casually, otherwise, people will look down on you." ”

Shen Niannian was reluctant to use Yi Qinglan's silver, there was this one reason, and now when he heard his father say this, he couldn't help but be a little moved.

Even if she had such an outrageous thing as borrowing a corpse to resurrect her soul, her father still loved her, even if King Ling's attitude had explained everything, but her father didn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to ask for anything from King Ling, and even Yin Liang was unwilling to accept it.

I have to say that Shen Niannian herself admitted that when she came back, she had doubted that her father was so good to her, whether it was because of Yi Qinglan, but now when she heard this, her doubts suddenly disappeared, and her eyes turned red, but she still held back the well-up tears.

"That'...... Father, what are you going to do? Could it be that this family has always been indistinguishable, and has been letting the people in those rooms continue to calculate us? Although Shen Mingcheng was reluctant to use other people's money, he was still in a hurry, he even thought about some things further, and there were no outsiders here, so he directly blurted out the most worrying point in his heart, "If you still don't split up, have you ever thought about what the other people will do when King Ling comes to propose marriage in the future, and Nian Nian becomes Princess Ling?" At that time, I'm afraid that someone will go to find Lord Ling! When the time comes, what will you do if you let Niannian do it?! (To be continued.) )
