h2> "And say it's not you?" Shen Yan muttered, "If you hadn't beaten people at every turn, how would people have seen my jokes and spread this story everywhere." I'm so old and you still beat me, do I want to see people in the future! This is not like Jinling, the horizontal and vertical are all their own people, and there are a lot of people in this house waiting to see my jokes?! β
Fahrenheit couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and turned his head sideways: "Who saw your joke?" Who dares to look at your jokes? β
Shen Yan glanced at her, then looked up at the sky, and said, "Big sister heard someone talking in the fourth room, saying that I was beaten by my mother, and it was the big sister who reprimanded them so that it didn't spread." But even so, don't I still make people laugh? I know feather dusters all day long, now it's okay, I don't have any face at all! β
When Fahrenheit beat her, it was completely out of inertia, and she didn't expect so much at all, but when she heard her say it at this time, she felt a little remorseful, and it was really not easy to restrain her for so many years. looked at Shen Yan's bitter face again, and stood up: "You just said that it spread in the fourth room?" β
"That's right!" Shen Yan was still unhappy.
Hua Shi thought about it, no one in the second room would poke this thing out, and no one came in yesterday, but the people below said that Shen Ying had accompanied Lu Silan in, so it seemed that Shen Ying must have looked at something and chewed the root of her tongue outside.
Now you know what to expect, so you don't sit down in a hurry.
The next day, he happened to be at Ji's place with Chen to discuss the matter of giving gifts for the Laba Festival, and Shen Ying was also present. Fahrenheit accidentally knocked the two pairs of cards in his hand to the ground, and Shen Ying, who was standing next to him, had always been well-behaved and sensible, so he naturally squatted down to pick it up. Fahrenheit wore a white silk satin embroidered purple rose, and one of his feet was good enough to step on that pair of cards.
Shen Ying's fingers pressed under the pair of cards, letting go is not letting go, raising her face, full of panic.
Fahrenheit smiled at ease: "I'm shallow, and I don't remember many things even if I know them." The third girl followed the fourth child to read poetry and books, and there is a sentence that I would like you to sue me, the sixth of the seven out of women, what are you talking about? β
The people next to him didn't pay attention to this scene, but when they heard her words, they couldn't help but look at it. Shen Ying squatted on the ground with a pale face, hurriedly pulled out the hand that was stepped on, and said: "The sixth of the seven, he has a lot of words, and he ...... for his departure."
"It turns out that talking too much is also guilty of seven outs! That's a lot of advice. β
Fahrenheit laughed and looked back at Chen's and them: "It's funny, yesterday there were a few rashes on the back of the wild goose girl, and it was itchy and unbearable, so she stayed in the room and didn't come out." Just this half of the time, I don't know who is out there to tell right and wrong, not to say that the goose girl was beaten by me! All the girls in our family know how to measure, and the wild goose girl is taught by her father on weekdays, how can she be beaten? Do you think it's funny? β
Ji Chen and the others had already seen that there must be a reason for this, and when Chen heard Hua's words again, he immediately understood that it was Shen Ying's ghost behind his back.
Although she is not very close to Hua's family, and Shen Ying has not been out of the cabinet, but now she is helpless to let people grasp the handle of playing with tongue and not abiding by the discipline of the girl, if Shen Ying is her own daughter-in-law, and Shen Ying is the evil seed of the Wu family who suffered a thousand knives, where will she be willing to marry Hua's for her?
However, Shen Ying has Shen Xuan's protection, and she can't be guilty of being this sinner.
She turned her head to look at Ji's: "I didn't know that there were such bold people in the house now, of course my sister-in-law has to take care of it." β
Ji also knew it, but she was now a family member, and Chen pushed this trouble to her, but she had to continue.
She lowered her face and glared at Shen Ying, and then said to Hua: "Although what the second brother and sister said is a joke, since the incident of beating the Liu family came out, the master has said that he will reorganize the atmosphere in the house. Kneel for at least two hours. β
So on this day, Shen Ying was in the long room and received two hours of punishment before going back.
The Chen family has not been divorced for a day, and she is a young grandmother in the house for a day, Shen Xuan no longer loves her and respects her, and her power is still there. What's more, she hasn't been involved in today's affairs, and Shen Xuan can't find her. If you look for Ji's theory, now she is in charge, and no matter how horizontal Shen Xuan is, it is difficult to refute the face of the widow and sister-in-law, otherwise Ji's sue in front of Shen Guanyu is even more amazing.
Therefore, Shen Ying knelt down, no one came forward to beg for mercy, and no one came out to hug the grievances, and when she returned to the room, she was naturally resentful, both angry at Hua's Shen Yan for bullying the weak, and angry at Ji's bullying and fearing evil, and looked back to see how Shen Xuan complained, but outsiders didn't know.
Shen Yan played chess with Gu Song for a long time at Gu's house, and was secretly surprised by his chess move, and held back the words that had begged Shen Mi to accept him as an apprentice for him, and was led by the Qi family to the Duchess of Rongguo's room to rub Fujian's new persimmons and tangerines to eat, and when he finally returned home, it was already the sun setting.
She touched her round belly to Hua's place, Shen Yi was also there, and Shen Ying, who heard them talk about how Hua's treatment, couldn't help but be stunned, and then raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and burped silently and sat down on the couch, saying, "Two hours, it's too heavy." In fact, it's okay to let her copy the scriptures a few times or something. β
Shen Yi looked at her lazy appearance, and couldn't help but be cold: "You can say cheap things!" β
With that, he and Fahrenheit both turned around and went to the small kitchen to figure out how to cook.
Shen Yan lay back and called Fusang for tea.
In fact, I don't blame Fahrenheit for doing this, Shen Ying, as a girl of the Shen family, also represents the face of the Shen family when she goes out, just a person like her who specializes in playing tricks that can't be seen on the stage, she is ruthless outside, and others can't compare to others, just pretending, and something will happen sooner or later. Now that Chen is disciplining her like this, although there is a deliberate element, it is also necessary.
It's just that Shen Ying is the kind of person, how could he change his personality so lightly?
When the news of Liu Yaze's appointment as a cabinet minister spread after four or five days, and finally spread to the regions south of the Central Plains, a faint fragrance of agarwood incense was permeating a county government house near Huizhou.
The small courtyard with two entrances and three rooms is not wide, the white-walled and blue-tiled buildings are elegant and graceful, and even the wild grass drilled out of the stone cracks under the horse's head wall has a bit of natural carving taste. The whole courtyard is full of exquisiteness, which makes people stop and forget to return, which shows the elegance and taste of the owner of the courtyard.
Shen Simin was leaning in front of the window tending to a pot of orchids, and the sunlight shone faintly on her tall but slender figure through the lantern under the porch, jumping into long and short spots of light with her movements.
"Zijun!"
Suddenly there was a faintly hurried voice outside the door, Shen Simin raised her head, it was her husband Du Ruchen calling her nickname, and walked in briskly from outside.
She put down her scissors and went up to meet them. Du Mingchen handed her the letter in his hand: "This is the letter from the family that I just received, Cheng Ge told the old man, Liu Yaze and his father-in-law had a competition for the position, and finally the father-in-law Yaliang gave up Liu Yaze!" Now Jingzhong is praising his father-in-law, and the courtiers of the Zhao family are also getting along with the Shen family. β
"Oh?" Shen Simin frowned slightly, took the letter and read it carefully. After a while, she folded the letter, pondered for a while, and said, "Father had no choice but to let Xian at this time. Even if you get these rewards, you should be. Otherwise, it would be too worthless. β
Du Ruchen nodded, "In any case, my father-in-law has been walking steadily step by step over the years, and this juncture is a great test of patience." I believe that with this foreshadowing, his old man is not far from the day he enters the cabinet. I think that the four families of Shenqiu Duxie stood side by side in the previous dynasty and became the most prosperous four families in the past hundred and ten years, and now our three families have declined, but there is still a Shen family, which is not the blessing of the world's scholars. β
He let out a long sigh at Changtian outside the window, and the contradiction between his eyebrows was fully revealed at this moment.
Shen Simin was a little moved, she looked at his back: "No matter what, our family will always have to get up!" β
Du Ruchen turned sideways slightly, looking at her in the backlight. She took two steps forward and said, "Aren't you going to Beijing at the end of the year to report on your work?" I might as well take Brother Jun and them with you. By the way, we spent the New Year in Beijing, and when the letter of appointment came down, we went directly to the destination. β
Du Ruchen held her hand, "How can you be so sure that I will definitely let go of the foreign office?" β
"Of course, it's only going to be a foreign thing."
Shen Simin pursed his lips and said: "The three Du Qiu Xie families stubbornly resisted and returned to the Zhou family, and the emperor appointed you as an official, and it is impossible to use you heavily in a short period of time, you are either in Yingxian County or in other states and counties, what other possibilities can there be?" And my father is at this time when Taoguang is in obscurity, and he will definitely not openly promote you. β
Du Ruchen nodded in a deep voice, "What you said is that the Shen family is at the time of maintaining stability, and it is not appropriate to be high-profile. He pulled her hands up, "I don't care where I am, the Du family has been in decline for so many years, and it is not something that can be done overnight if you want to re-establish it." β
"That's exactly what I thought."
Shen Simin nodded, "That's why I proposed to take Jun'er with you to Jingshi." Can't be revitalized in our hands, can't they be revitalized in Jun'er's hands? We have such a good resource, it would be a shame not to use it. Jun'er has a grandfather like her father and an uncle like Ziyan, and she will definitely be a talent in my Du family in the future. β
"You have a point."
Du Ruchen thought so, didn't know what he thought, and said in a flash: "But it doesn't seem good for us to stay in the Shen family for the New Year as foreigners." And our family does not have the custom of a daughter-in-law staying at her mother's house but not at her husband's house during the New Year. It doesn't matter to me, but I'm afraid of the old ladyβ"
"Old lady, I guess it doesn't matter." Shen Simin said firmly, "Our family has always been well-behaved, and the old lady is not an unkind person. This year is different from previous years, my mother's brother and sister passed away, and then my mother was seriously ill in bed, I never went back to see, as a child, it is too unfilial to be so unfilial. Anyway, I'm going to have to go back to see her old man and do my best at the bedside, right? β
"That's true!" Du Ruchen's face was full of shame: "I actually forgot about this." βR1152
