Chapter 227: The Wind Rises

After the Shen family's father and son left, this matter was also left behind by Shen Lan, after all, Shen Yunting would not let Shen Renjie do anything stupid, so Shen Lan was not worried about Shen Renjie's second offense, as for Lan Nayi's stay and stay, it was always necessary for someone to heal from the injury, so Shen Lan was not in a hurry.

It's just that the stable days have not passed for two days, and the news of the emperor's death and the whole country is sad, Shen Lan has been here for more than a year, in fact, I don't know what the emperor of the Sui Dynasty is like, this time is not like Shen Lan's original world, there is a TV or something, the national leader was on TV in a few days, no matter who is in that mountain, people can clearly understand who the leader is, there is no television in this era, all kinds of communications are completely underdeveloped, and those who stand at the top of the country are the sky for ordinary people, and they are unreachable. Shen Lan, a peasant woman in a remote mountain village, how could she get news about the emperor?

Even if there are major things, such as now, when the emperor has died and the people of the whole country need to mourn for the emperor, of course, there is the new emperor ascending the throne and the like, and then there are things related to ordinary people such as the selection of women, as for the others, there are very few, although Shen Lan has been here for more than a year, she has not encountered the selection of women during this period, so she naturally cannot know about the things in the distant capital.

So just after hearing that the emperor had died, Shen Lan still felt that there was no big problem, but in line with the tradition of following the customs of the country, he also acted in accordance with the decrees issued by the imperial court, and originally thought that when the old emperor's filial piety period passed, the days would return to the same as before, but the day when the new emperor ascended the throne was delayed, and the number of officials who collected taxes was higher than last year. In addition, the tax is also heavier than last year, it is said that there was a locust plague last year, and the court is not worried about the people, even if the people are not satisfied, where can they increase the intensity of taxation, isn't this the rhythm of forcing the people to death?

What's even more strange is that in addition to the officials who collect grain, there are also many sergeants who go to various villages to recruit soldiers, saying that recruitment is good, but in fact, when they see young and middle-aged men, they will all be pulled away, which is completely the rhythm of pulling strong men, just take the Shen family as an example. Shen Xiaoquan was almost dragged to be a soldier. It was thanks to Shen Zhao that he bribed the recruiting sergeant with silver to avoid this disaster, but Shen Renjie didn't have such good luck, after all, he was young and strong, so he was captured by those wolf-like sergeants. Shen Yunting was spared a disaster because of his age. Most of the young adults in the village were taken to serve as soldiers.

It is not only Linchun Village that is naturally harmed. In fact, this is the case in all the villages under the rule of Jixian County, and in some poor villages in the mountains, it can be said that there are almost no men. If you can't see that something is not quite right in such a situation, then something is really wrong.

Shen Lan's family has no use for men, Song Wenxiang has already been recruited, there are only her and her son on the household registration, as for the slaves in the family, they all have contracts, and they belong to private property and are not within the scope of recruitment, so there is nothing to do, but the shopkeeper Xu and the guys in the shop have suffered, so Shiweixuan is a little unable to open, plus people everywhere are panicking, Shen Lan has no heart to open this shop anymore, so he simply closes it, as for the original grain shop, there is no way to open it, Because you can't buy food at all, what can you sell to others?

In addition, Yuan Hao disappeared, that time and Yuan Hao went to Jinzhou was the last time Shen Lan saw Yuan Hao, since then there has been no news of him, and now there is no news of the chaos of the world, Yuan Tian has sent people to ask Shen Lan many times for this, but Shen Lan is indeed useless Yuan Hao's news, so Yuan Tian gradually did not ask more, and the days passed day by day in the chaos.

In October, Shen Lan's second child was born, named Zhaolin, nicknamed Wood, now the outside is becoming more and more chaotic, Jixian can see soldiers with knives everywhere, and Shen Lan just came to this world when it was a big change, the people's lives are becoming more and more difficult, Shen Lan is guarded by Shen Changhai and Shen Changsheng, but there is no big trouble, in addition, the old people of the Song and Shen families have also moved into the Shen Mansion, after all, the high courtyard wall of the Shen Mansion is easy to prevent thieves, and it is safer in comparison.

Naturally, Shen Yunting and Lan Nayi also moved in, although there were more people, but it was always a lot safer, in addition, Song Juan also got married, and Song Wenfu recruited soldiers, Shen Mei also said that her mother-in-law's family was going out before the New Year, and she was talking about the second son of the county Cheng family in Jixian County, and she married quite well.

A large family is crowded together, but there is no endless quarrel as imagined, after all, the old people on both sides are there, Song Ruhai does not dare to toss Shen Lan in front of the Shen family, of course, there are still some small contradictions, but Shen Lan does not care, as for the children of the Song family, Shen Lan also shoulders the responsibility of the eldest sister-in-law, Song Wenrui followed Shen Hailing to study together, and the two sisters-in-law followed Shen Wei to accept the upbringing of grandma, because Shen Mei married well, Song Wang's family did not object, but told the two daughters to listen to grandma's words, Learn more about your skills or something.

As for Yan Niang, maybe it was a fundamental injury, and Song Ruhai didn't get pregnant for so many months, and occasionally blew the pillow wind in front of Song Ruhai, but many things were aimed at Song Wang's family and Song Wang's children, so it saved Shen Lan a lot of trouble, because Song Wang's family was busy trying to bring down Yan Niang, so naturally he didn't have the energy to find trouble with Shen Lan.

There was chaos outside, Shen Lan didn't think that Song Wenxiang would suddenly appear like last year, and naturally she was comforted a lot, after all, Song Wenxiang didn't give her a good impression, so in fact, she didn't expect that to appear at all, but occasionally remembered Yuan Hao, who had lost his disappearance for several months, some people said that he was pulled into the army, and some people said that he was killed in the mountains, for these rumors Shen Lan was somewhat reluctant to believe it, after all, Yuan Hao was the person she came to this world and helped her the most.

To add insult to injury, this year's winter is particularly cold and long, and there are people who freeze to death and starve to death everywhere, if Shen Lan doesn't have the space to secretly support her, I'm afraid that it won't last long, but fortunately, Shen Changhai and Shen Changsheng are both people who come out of the space, every time there is no firewood or rice grain at home, most of them go out to get it back, but it doesn't arouse everyone's suspicion, in addition, Shen Lan also took out a lot of rice and grain from the space and asked them to secretly pretend to be thieves and send it to some poor people nearby.

After all, Shen Lan, as a person who came from the era of civilization, couldn't do it without saving him. So even if the strength is weak, I will still try my best to help some people, in such a difficult day, finally ushered in spring, although it came late, but after all, it still came, the tender green grass emerged from the ground, the dry branches also spit out the shoots, and everything seemed to develop in a good way.

On this day, Shen Lan was sitting at home teaching Shimei "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", and saw Xu running in from outside in a hurry, and couldn't help shouting at Shen Lan with a happy face: "Madam." The lord is back. It's right outside the door. ”

Shen Lan couldn't help but stiffen, why did Song Wenxiang come back at this time? Shen Lan was very suspicious, the original babbling stone had long forgotten her father, so naturally she didn't know who the master was. I was stunned when I saw my mother. I couldn't help but ask, "Mother." Who's back? ”

Hearing her son's voice, Shen Lan reluctantly smiled and said, "It's your father who came back." ”

After speaking, he quickly got up from the couch. said to the Xu family: "Hurry up and take the eldest prince to follow me to greet the master." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Xu picked up the stone with joy on his face, and the stone hurriedly shouted: "I'll go by myself, just take my hand with Grandma Xu." ”

"Okay." Xu answered, Shen Lan got up and patted the folds of the clothes on her body, and then pretended to calmly take Xu out of the house, but as soon as she went out, she saw Song Wang's beating and crying at Song Wenxiang in the yard, looking crazy, and suddenly a little timid, but before she could figure out what to do, she saw Song Wenxiang over there push Song Wang's away, walked over to her with a happy face, and shouted in her mouth: "Lan Niang." ”

Shen Lan was a little stunned, although she was not very familiar with Song Wenxiang, but how could Song Wenxiang treat Song Wang's family like this, there was a short circuit in her brain for a while.

"Lan Niang." When Song Wenxiang walked up to Shen Lan, his face showed a joyful expression like a spring flower blooming, a pair of dark eyes were as bright as the sun, for a moment, Shen Lan suddenly saw another person, even if he was not familiar with Song Wenxiang, but Shen Lan still felt a little disobedient at the moment.

"Xianggong." Shen Lan suppressed the weirdness in her heart, bent her knees slightly and saluted Song Wenxiang, and then Xu also walked out holding the stone, and the moment she saw Song Wenxiang, she immediately said to the stone: "Childe, hurry up and call Daddy." ”

Shi looked at Song Wenxiang with unfamiliar eyes, and saw the stranger's cowardice and scrutiny, and did not open his mouth to call people.

"Stone, so you don't see it, you've grown so big, come, let me do it...... Oh, daddy hugs and doesn't care about it. As he spoke, he reached out and was about to hold the stone.

It is said that Song Wenxiang didn't stay at home for a few days, where did the stone remember, when he saw a stranger to hug, he quickly hugged Xu's neck to dodge, looking scared, Shen Lan on the side looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "The child recognizes life, you are not at home all the year round, and it is normal for him not to know you." ”

"I know, but it's hurt you." Song Wenxiang was not disappointed, but comforted Shen Lan with a smile, his black eyes were shining with a smile, and he was very gentle when he looked at Shen Lan.

"You unfilial son, as soon as you come back, you only have your daughter-in-law in your eyes, is there no more your mother? Do you know that I have been worried about you for more than a year, and I am afraid that something will happen to you every day, and when you come back, you don't say to ask your mother, see that your daughter-in-law actually pushed me away, you say that you have no conscience, you are not a filial son. Song Wang couldn't believe it the moment she was pushed away, and when she came back to her senses, she saw her son standing in front of Shen Lan, and suddenly she didn't fight anywhere, rushed to Song Wenxiang's side, and raised her fist and hit the unfilial son.

Song Wenxiang, who was originally immersed in the joy of reunion, was attacked by someone like this, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to throw the person out, but fortunately, the last trace of reason stopped him, and suddenly a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at Song Wang.

"Mother, why are you here?" Song Wenxiang opened his mouth without emotion, although he did not avoid Song Wang's beating, but he also did not have the obedience of the past.

"Why can't I be here, the war is in chaos, do you still let me live in the countryside, your daughter-in-law has a big house here, a high wall and a subordinate courtyard, where do I live here?" Song Wangshi opened his mouth angrily, and was very angry at the behavior of this unfilial son who only had a daughter-in-law and no mother, but hitting his son was the same as hitting a stone, and his hand was numb and painful, but his son still looked painless, and he became more and more angry.

Hearing Song Wang's reply, Song Wenxiang frowned invisibly, but tried his best to endure it, and asked instead, "Oh, what about my father?" ”

As soon as he heard Song Wenxiang mention Song Ruhai, Song Wang felt even more aggrieved, and suddenly cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Son, you don't know, since you left not long ago, your father was fascinated by the fox spirit sent by your daughter-in-law, and he still wanted to divorce your mother and me, so he planned to marry that fox spirit as the main house, your daughter-in-law is a troublemaker, your mother has had a hard time this year......"

was cried by Song Wang's family, and suddenly everyone in the courtyard ran out, Shen Lan suddenly felt that she didn't look good, and hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, Xianggong, you better go into the house and say, Xianggong just came back, I'm afraid I haven't drunk a sip of water, I'll go and let someone serve tea." ”

Song Wenxiang nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's troublesome lady." ”

The weirdness in Shen Lan's heart became more and more increased, but she also knew that now was not the time to pursue it, so she motioned to the Xu family to hold the stone and follow her, while Song Wenxiang led the Song Wang family into the house, and Song Ruhai and the Shen family couple who heard the news also hurriedly walked over, and the Shen family and his wife stopped and asked, "Is Wenxiang back?" ”

Shen Lan nodded, and saw that her father-in-law had already entered the house, so she said to her father-in-law: "Father, mother, don't get involved, when Song Wenxiang and his father and mother have finished talking about the old days, I will ask him to go and say goodbye to your two elders." ”

When Shen Xiaoquan heard his daughter say this, he also stopped thinking about going to see his son-in-law, so he nodded, but Shen Zhao said, "Lan Niang, did Wen Xiang say that you are the eldest brother?" Did your eldest brother come back? ”

When Shen Zhao asked, Shen Xiaoquan was also nervous, just thinking that his son-in-law was too happy to come back, and when his wife reminded him, he remembered that his son was in the army with his son-in-law, and his son-in-law came back, so what about his son? As a result, it is a little difficult to sit still.

Shen Lan also remembered that she still had a big brother she hadn't met, and that big brother was in the army with Song Wenxiang, if she didn't let her father and mother ask about the news of the eldest brother, it seemed a little unkind, so Shen Lan couldn't stop her parents anymore, so she said: "Oh, then you go in and ask about the eldest brother, and I'll serve you tea." ”

In this way, the Shen couple nodded, turned around and hurriedly walked towards the main room, and Shen Lan also took the Xu family to turn around and prepare tea. (To be continued......)
