Shen Guanyu looked at her and fell silent.

After a long period of silence, the aroma of turnip incense has quietly become stronger.

Shen Guanyu maintained a sideways posture that had not moved for a long time, and finally slowly recovered with the soft sound of the branches under the back window lapping against the sash.

"Are you going to let our Shen family raise a grandson for the Du family?"

Shen Simin lowered his eyes slightly, "Father's words are serious. After speaking, she raised her head: "I'm just telling the truth." ”

"Tell the truth." Shen Guanyu smiled and nodded, he stood up, put his hand behind his back under the window, and said, "Girl, do you say I promise you, or don't I promise you?" ”

Shen Simin stood up.

Shen Guanyu turned to look at her, "If I don't promise you, you are my daughter, and it is normal to ask for something in front of your father." But if I promise you, have you thought about it, even if the second child has no heirs, then he should first pick one of the children and nephews to teach! Although your eldest brother is gone, there is still a Brother Rui, if he accepts Du Jun, what will Brother Rui do? What should I do with the Shen family! ”

Shen Simin stood there and stared at him, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry in the face of this question.

"If the father says this, it is not for his daughter to return, nor is it if he does not return. If you don't reply, it will seem that your daughter is reckless. If I go back, I'm afraid that my father will blame me for being mean. ”

Shen Guanyu was speechless.

When Shen Simin received the signal, he sighed slightly and said, "Ziyan is admittedly young, but after all, if Hua is pregnant, he will not necessarily give birth to an heir." And Sister Yan is ten years old, and sooner or later she will have to find a husband. Whether my father agrees to help me be this lobbyist or not, it can't stop the fact that Ziyan will have a son-in-law in the future. If he only has such a daughter, won't he support his son-in-law with all his heart and lungs? ”

When Shen Guanyu heard this, the tip of his eyebrows couldn't help but move slightly.

Shen Simin smiled slightly, and then continued: "Even if there are other children in the mansion who can be carefully taught and cultivated, after all, the identities of son, nephew and son-in-law cannot coincide. In other words, in addition to supporting his nephews, Ziyan will inevitably have a foreign surname who will be guided by him. Jun'er is his nephew, if he still wants to cultivate a son for someone else's family in the future, why not cultivate his own nephew?

"He spent his heart and soul on Jun'er, and after a hundred years, let Jun'er also carry out the half-son gift behind him, which is obviously beneficial to both of us. In this way, it can solve his childless worries, and secondly, it will also help him cultivate in the court in the future, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

"Half a child?" Shen Guanyu narrowed his eyes: "Do you want to book Sister Yan?" ”

The daughter didn't think so. It's just that after Jun'er worshiped Ziyan as a teacher, he can represent half a son. Shen Simin said. At the end, she raised her eyes to look at him again, and added: "But if Ziyan has such a meaning, I will not refuse." ”

Shen Guanyu looked at her, his eyes sinking a little bit.

Shen Simin returned to Lingzhou Garden, and Du Ruchen greeted him.

"How? What did my father-in-law say? ”

Shen Simin stood under the curtain, bowed his head slightly at him, and then walked to the chair and sat down, saying, "First I refused, and then I acquiesced." Now it's just a matter of looking at Ziyan's side. ”

"What, Ziyan refuses?" Du Ruchen sat across from her.

Shen Simin looked at him: "I'm not sure if I'll be willing." After all, he was still young, and it was too early for him to accept disciples. But we can't bet on this treasure, Ziyan is his father's successor, and he will shine in the court in the future. Therefore I also gave my father a secret, and if he wished, we would marry him as sons and daughters. ”

"Is that good?" Du Ruchen frowned.

Shen Simin looked at the table and said, "There's nothing bad about it." I saw that the girl was born very thoughtfully, and she was also smart, but her behavior was a little presumptuous, and I thought it must be because she didn't teach her well in front of Hua'er, and Jun'er was going to inherit his mantle in the future. ”

After speaking, he gently plucked him: "If it weren't for this sentence, I think my father would not be willing." ”

Du Ruchen nodded and looked at her with a smile, "Miss Shen is naturally good." ”

Shen Simin's cheeks were slightly hot, pretending not to be surprised, and went to get the sewing basket on the table.

She is so dignified, but Du Ruchen is more and more respectful. The education he received since he was a child has made him have the standard taste of a child of a family, and Shen Simin's dignified and gentle wisdom is the most perfect wife image in his mind, so even if Shen Mi's daughter is not so qualified, he is convinced that under her tutelage, she will become just as gentle and deferful.

At night, the Shen Mansion was quiet and quiet, and the Lingzhou Garden was filled with faint expectations, but at this time, the Nanfeng Village was so lively that it seemed to celebrate the New Year in advance, and the cheers almost overturned the entire Zhuangzi.

When the children in the village heard that Master Hua was coming to set off fireworks, they all rushed out and volunteered to run errands, and their legs kept running as if they were filled with the wind.

The place where the fireworks are set off is in a dry field, the north is dry, even if it snows heavily a few days ago, the snow melts into the cracks in the ground and dries quickly, the tenants are afraid of dirtying the feet of these little guests, lift the door panel and spread out an acre of land, and when the fireworks rise, it will be like setting up a stage to sing as if it is indescribably lively and prosperous.

Shen Yi and Shen Ying had never seen such a spectacular fireworks scene, and their faces, who usually adhered to etiquette, were also filled with red light with excitement. Du Jun and Lu Zhenqian took some fireworks to the opposite hill to set off, and for a while, the two sparks bloomed in the air, attracting children from neighboring villages to come and watch.

The chubby Hua Juncheng looked at the children with a big belly and smiled, as if the peace of the world is the greatest beauty. Shen Mi stared at the huge ceremonial flowers blooming in the air for a moment, then turned back to him and said, "This is a children's playground, why don't we go into the house and drink?" ”

Hua Juncheng nodded with a smile, hummed, and entered the courtyard with him.

Perhaps the most uncomfortable person in the whole crowd was Gu Song, who had a habit of cleanliness, and he frowned when he saw the dirt on all sides, but despite this, wherever Shen Yan went, he still followed him. Shen Yan watched here for a long time, and when he looked back, he saw that Shen Mi and the two of them were gone, and knew that they had gone to drink, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore, laughing and cheering, and quietly pulling Gu Song's sleeve, signaling him to talk in a less crowded place.

There was a small bamboo woodland on the east side of the courtyard, and Shen Yan went to the forest and said, "Have you ever heard your grandfather mention the dispute between the queen and the concubine?" ”

Hearing such a strict and serious question, Gu Song immediately pursed his lips: "What do you want to know?" ”

Shen Yan frowned and said, "I want to know your family's attitude towards these two parties. ”

In the matter of the canonization of the crown prince, although the Gu family may not take a position openly, they will definitely have an attitude in private. Gu Zhicheng's purpose in befriending the Shen family was to find a strategic alliance, so that the two families could benefit each other. If Shen Guanyu stood on the queen's side, the Gu family would not support it and would never pull the Shen family's hind legs.

That's not a good thing.

The Gu family's chances of being used by her are extremely small, and Gu Zhicheng is not a fool, she can't go to him to brag about it again like she did about Lu ingot. If it can't be used by her, she must also find a way to get the Gu family out of this matter and avoid being used by Shen Guanyu. All in all, she can cut some of them if she can, so as not to flood them from time to time.

"Now that the crown prince has been deposed not long ago, the emperor should not be able to crown the prince so quickly, and my grandfather and father have never mentioned this matter to me." Gu Song said solemnly. After saying that, he asked, "What about your family?" Recently, the topics of conversation with Shen Yan are a bit high-end, so it is not surprising that she asked him about these military affairs when she opened her mouth.

"Ugh." Shen Yan sighed and folded his hands, "Aren't our family scholars?" According to the rules, it will naturally be on the queen's side. ”

Gu Song looked at her face and said, "Don't you like King Zheng?" ”

"Not really." Shen Yan said briefly. Although she had seen King Zheng, she had never dealt with him directly, so she didn't know if he was likable. But because of the queen's stakes, he is a saint, and she is destined not to like him.

However, since the father and son of the Gu family had not discussed this matter in front of Gu Song, there was a chance that they had not cared about this level, and it was obvious that there was still a chance to divide this force.

"And you like him?" Gu Song heard her denial, but his heart tightened slightly.

"Who likes him anymore?" Shen Yan glared at him angrily. She's talking about business here, what kind of mess is he struggling with? "I just don't want King Zheng to be the crown prince." After speaking, he felt arrogant and rude, so he added: "I heard that he likes to dance swords, this kind of person must be aggressive, how can a combative person become an emperor?" ”

Of course, this still doesn't make sense, but as long as Gu Song doesn't think about it, it will be done.

Whether she and the Gu family are their own family or not, although she and Gu Song are heart-to-heart, but when it comes to these things, she can't be separated from each other.

"Oh."

Gu Song felt relieved. He didn't know why he was worried, and when he thought about it, there was no reason, but he couldn't help it.

Shen Yan couldn't ask the answer he wanted, and he didn't want to attract attention with him here, and was about to go back to the fireworks field, when suddenly Fu Niang ran over quickly and said, "The big girl fell into the ditch!" ”

"What?"

Shen Yan hurriedly looked in the direction she pointed, only to see that there were a few people around there, Shen Yi was looking down at his feet, looking very anxious, so he hurriedly lifted his skirt and walked over.

Gu Song was inconvenient to follow, so he stood silently here, and then went to find Lu Zhenqian.

Shen Yi was standing on Tian Kan just now, and he stepped into the ditch without knowing how to retreat. Fortunately, he brought spare clothes, shoes and socks with him, so Shen Yan asked Hua Juncheng's long-term follower to lead him into the courtyard and find a clean room for her to change her clothes.

Shen Yi's face was flushed with a strange red throughout the whole process, and he didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to be a little dodgy, and he couldn't see clearly under the flickering fireworks. R1152
