Xuzhou Mansion.

The winter in the north is even better than the winter in the south of the Yangtze River-

The heavy snow can always accumulate more than a foot deep, frozen dry and hard, as if it is the best snow salt, that is, when the sun comes out, it will not melt, unlike the south, when it snows, it is always accompanied by a light rain, and it melts quickly when it falls on the ground, and the wet and cold wind can penetrate into the blood of the human bone marrow through the thick clothes, which makes people shiver and feel cold.

The kang is warm, and sitting cross-legged on it only makes people feel warm from the inside out.

Shen Rouning wore a thin silver-red cotton jacket and was holding a special charcoal pen to teach Xiao Ah Xiang to draw some simple lines. She sketches calmly, and after a few strokes, the little animals are lifelike, but Shen Rouyuan prefers to smear indiscriminately, and after a few back and forth, she can destroy the pictures on the paper and see them clearly, and then laugh happily.

"Sister, you just get used to her." Shen Duanrong walked in from outside, rubbed his hands, took off the royal blue fur coat and hung it on the hanger, saw the situation in the house clearly, and showed a helpless smile. He walked over, sat on the edge of the kang, and muttered, "If you take out such a small painting, how can you have several taels of silver in one piece...... Ah Yuan, when you grow up, I will deduct your pocket money! ”

Shen Rouyan didn't understand what Shen Duanrong was saying, she was very happy to see him coming, pinched the charcoal and threw herself on Shen Duanrong with her little black hand, and immediately made a few gray-black marks on his clean clothes.

Shen Duanrong once again showed helplessness and took away the charcoal in Shen Rouyuan's hand. beckoned the maid to twist the hot handkerchief, carefully wiped Shen Rouyan's little hands clean, and couldn't help but ask Shen Rouning: "Sister, when I was a child, was it the same?" ”

Shen Rouning asked people to put away the paper and pen on the kang table, and while cleaning their hands with a hot handkerchief, she said with a smile: "You love cleanliness more than Ah Huan, and you don't like to play charcoal very much...... At other times, though, you're a lot more clingy than Ah Xiang. For example, memorizing poems...... Always let me read it to you over and over again. And you've already remembered it. A feeling of dry mouth. It's not comfortable. ”

Where did Shen Duanrong remember what he had done when he was a child.

Hearing Shen Rouning say this at this time, he couldn't help but blush, and said, "Sister, didn't you let others read it?" ”

Shen Rou glanced at Shen Duanrong, which meant to say: Is he willing to let others read it?

Shen Duanrong sneered. flatteringly: "Naturally, Sister treats me best." He asked Shen Rouyuan again: "Ah Yuan." You say, don't you? ”

Shen Rouyuan understood this time. Busy nodding.

The three of them talked and laughed easily for a while, and Shen Rou was sleepy, so she was carried down to sleep.

Shen Duanrong showed a worried look at this time. said: "Sister, you say, can my father still be an official?" I just heard Uncle Zhou and his father discussing whether to sell this house and go back to Shenjia Village. ”

A lot happened in August.

The roster of the draft, the old man Chen went to the court the next day to hand over a notebook, first impeached Shen Sanye Shen Chongmo for bullying the king, without seeking the meaning of Shen Chongyan, because he heard rumors that the emperor wanted to accept Shen Rouning into the palace and intended to plan for the abolition of the establishment, so he made a speculative move, and privately reported Shen Rouning's draft girl, ignoring the brother's family affection, and even speculating on the king's heart, misunderstanding the holy will, hindering the emperor's reputation, and his character is despicable, and he is not worthy of being an official! Among them, there are one, two, and three points listed, which proves that Emperor Qinglong is a Ming monarch, and he will not accept Shen Rouning and shake the inner court......

Anyway, it was Shen Chongmo who moved the villain's mind, and it was Shen Rou Ning's election that led to the matter. In other words, if Emperor Qinglong still insisted on accepting Shen Rou into the palace, it would be Shen Chongmo's speculation that was good, and he violated the reason for not accepting the one, two, or three points, and it was not what Ming Jun did.

He said: Shen Chongmo is his subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, he is not well managed, he is willing to punish himself, and asks for a pension. and directly said that he loved this granddaughter very much, and wanted to keep her by his side to serve his filial piety, and begged Emperor Qinglong for permission to cross Shen Rouning's name from the list of show girls, sympathetic to the old minister, and to set the record straight.

In other words, he is willing to take the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and protect Shen Rouning!

The ministers in the court were all shocked and in an uproar.

Emperor Qinglong's face was also extremely ugly. He stared at Old Man Chen, who was kneeling in the hall and still had his back straight, as if he saw a spear blade that refused to give in, and his pupils shrank and he felt a slight pain.

Emperor Qinglong did not make up his mind because of Old Man Chen's right play. He put aside the draft and Shen Rouning, and directly opened his mouth not to allow Chen Gong Zhishi, and added a few gold and silver to Chen Gong, expressing his resolution.

Chen Gong did not dispute with Emperor Qinglong.

After handing over the recital, after thanking him, he discussed the government as if he had nothing to do, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, he returned to the yamen of the ministry and dealt with the official affairs of the day, and only returned home when he was in the lower office.

The next day, Chen Gong directly called himself sick and no longer went to court.

Emperor Qinglong sent an imperial doctor, and Chen Gong frankly claimed that his mind was roaring and he could not concentrate on his work, and once again begged Emperor Qinglong to allow him to rest. The imperial doctor couldn't diagnose the symptoms, and Chen Gong said that he had a headache...... The imperial doctor could only admit that he was not good at learning and could not treat Gong Chen.

Headache is a disease, whether it really hurts or fakes, and only I know.

Emperor Qinglong never sent an imperial doctor to Chen's mansion again.

But the draft work continues, and in the blink of an eye, it is time for the primary. I heard that the queen mother and the queen are all sick, and the nobles and ladies of the inner court are also sick, and the imperial doctor is busy...... But Shen Rouning still has to participate in the primary election.

But she couldn't get through the palace gate.

At the place where the show girls gathered for the first time, a decree was sent from Cining Palace, pointing out that Shen Rouning's eight characters were compatible with the Queen Mother, canceling her qualification as a show girl, and ordering her to leave Beijing immediately. As soon as Yi Zhi came out, Shen Rouning went back happily in the faint excitement and joy of several show girls.

Later, she heard that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother went to the Qianqing Palace hand in hand that day. Especially the Queen Mother, who assumed the identity of the elder mother, and forcefully blocked Emperor Qinglong in the main hall and couldn't leave! Even, when Emperor Qinglong's color changed, the Queen Mother directly stabbed Emperor Qinglong with a needle full of anesthetic!

When Emperor Qinglong woke up again, the primary selection of Xiu Nu had been successfully completed, and Shen Rouning had already left the capital with Shen Fourth Wife and Shen Duanrong. On the same day, the Ministry issued a document deposing Shen Chongmo and Shen Chongyan from their official positions! As for the Chen Mansion, the official positions of Chen Gong and the two masters were also dismissed!

Chen and Shen, except for Chen Houyun and Chen Houji, there is no one who is an official! (To be continued.) )
