The children cheered, and even Shen Ying showed eager eyes. Although the Shen family is not short of money, no one has ever done such a thing as finding a village to set off fireworks, and only the wealthy Hua family has such courage, and only Shen Yan has such an uncle like the God of Wealth.

Shen Yi saw Shen Ying who was hesitating, so he said to Shen Yan: "Go and call Sister Ying'er too." ”

Shen Yan didn't care if she went or not, but she wouldn't give her this face. Then he said, "You are a big sister, you go and call." ”

Shen Yi was short of breath because of the careful trick he played in front of Shen Yan a few days ago, and he didn't say anything anymore, and turned around to let Yu Fu go over to pass the word.

Here Shen Yan saw that Lu Zhenqian also came over to join in the fun, and he didn't know if it was because of Du Jun or because of Shen Yi, but because of this, he remembered that it was better to call Gu Song too, and hurriedly sent Fu Niang over to invite him.

Gu Song was practicing calligraphy in the study, and when he heard that Shen Yan had come to invite him, he hurriedly threw his pen and went out.

Shen Mi happened to go back to the house, and when she saw the children all over the yard screaming and jumping around Hua Juncheng, she couldn't help laughing, and walked over and said, "So many children are just afraid that the eldest brother can't take care of them, so it's better for me to go with me, so as to share the worries of the eldest brother." ”

Fahrenheit sneered, "What are you going to do?" The boss is not small and mixed among the children, and it is not a joke. ”

Shen Yan knew that her father was going to take the opportunity to discuss with her uncle, so she hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said, "Father doesn't go, my uncle doesn't even have anyone to talk to, how boring!" ”

Hua Juncheng heard it, so he pointed to Shen Mi: "Bring the bamboo leaves of that day with you!" ”

In a few moments, more than a dozen children, together with Shen Mi and Hua Juncheng, divided into six carriages and drove to Nanfengzhuang, where Huajiatian Mansion was located in the southern suburbs.

Here Shen Simin sent Du Jun away, and went to Yaori Hall to serve Mrs. Shen for dinner, and saw that the lamp had been turned on at the end of the main room, so he went around the courtyard door and went to the outer study.

Shen Guanyu had just returned home, and he was changing into his usual robe.

Shen Simin walked over, first lit a piece of turnip incense into the incense burner, and then knelt on the bed to make tea. After a while, the indifference of the tea fragrance mixed with the fragrance in the stove was faintly floating in the air, making people's tiredness disappear, Shen Guanyu raised his head with a smile: "Now only Zijun is here, and there is a trace of elegance in my study." ”

Shen Simin lowered his eyes and smiled, filtered out a cup of clear Tieguanyin, and handed it to Shen Guanyu: "Whenever a daughter is a little elegant, it is also from her father. It's just that my father should also get rid of the habit of eating strong tea at night, strong tea hurts the stomach. ”

"I had no choice but to do it." Shen Guanyu smiled bitterly and pointed to the large pile of unopened files on the case next to him: "After the errand of Chunyu is completed, the prestige of the Shen family will be even higher, and there must be no negligence." Where do I have the heart to take care of my health? ”

Shen Simin said: "Is my father paving the way for the next cabinet to fill the vacancy?" ”

Shen Guanyu nodded: "In addition, I am also thinking about pushing Mi'er up, he has enough qualifications and knowledge, so he should move up." Otherwise, I will join the cabinet, and there will be no one around to help me, and I will be alone. ”

Shen Simin muttered: "Ziyan is very knowledgeable, his handover skills are also excellent, and he is known as a virtuous name among the court officials, so he should be a good helper for his father." It is not surprising that he will inherit his father's mantle and enter the cabinet in the future. My father has an excellent vision, and now that he has become a material, he can really be reused. ”

Shen Guanyu nodded, remembering the conversation with Shen Mi last night, and silently lowered his head to drink tea, unwilling to talk about this topic further.

He didn't speak, and Shen Simin was silent. After drinking the tea, he handed over the teacup, she took it with both hands, returned to the tea table and brewed a second brew, took a small vermilion lacquered wooden plate back, handed it to him, and said: "Mother has a better appetite these days, and in the morning I used a bowl of half a bowl of minced meat porridge, and used two pieces of yam autumn date cake, and her complexion is also very good." ”

Since she came back, Mrs. Shen has taken over three meals a day, and Shen Guanyu will go to see it every day, although Mrs. Shen is still indifferent to him, but he has never forgotten her.

He nodded, "You're doing a great job." Among all the brothers and sisters, you are the most like your mother, not only in terms of appearance or temperament, but also in the company of you, she is naturally happy. ”

Shen Simin lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, and then raised his eyes, but tears welled up in his eyes. "The daughter only hates not being able to be with her parents for a long time, and now the mother is like this, and the daughter's heart is like a knife. The letter of appointment of the far lintel has come down, and he will go to Yunnan to take up his post after the Lantern Festival, and his daughter will inevitably follow him, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and he doesn't know when he will come back.

"The daughter is sad that she has been nurtured by her parents, but she can't come back often to fulfill her filial piety. I don't know if the mother who is seriously ill in bed can still have such a good appetite and mood after her daughter leaves. ”

Shen Guanyu's face also became heavy, and he stared at her, "But no matter what, you are already the daughter-in-law of the Du family, and your responsibility to your parents has been fulfilled. You are the young lady of my Shen family, and your father's hard work on you is not much less than that of Mi'er and Eun, you should be able to do it. ”

"But my daughter is a woman after all." Shen Simin said calmly, his eyes with thick eyelashes were a little sad. "Even though I can assist my husband, the current situation of the Du family is worrying after all. It is impossible for the emperor to use these scholars who have resisted them stubbornly in the first place, at least not in the generation of Yuanlin. This time, his grade is still unchanged, doesn't that explain the problem? ”

Shen Guanyu seemed to be infected by her sadness, and a Sichuan character began to crimp between his eyebrows, "Are you blaming your father for not mentioning him?" ”

"Nope." Shen Simin shook her head slowly, "My daughter knows her father's difficulties, how can she blame you?" I am both the daughter of the Shen family and the wife of the Du family, and I hope that the two families will be well together, and they will always be side by side in this land of the Central Plains, and the family name of the poetry and rite family will be passed down from generation to generation, and complement each other. I am glad that my father did this, because you showed me that you are still the clear-headed and far-sighted Mr. Shen. ”

Shen Guanyu looked at her, and his eyes suddenly turned a little red.

He turned his face away, reached out and patted the back of her hand gently, "Good boy." If you were a man and could support this family with Mi'er, I wouldn't have to be as timid as I am now. ”

After speaking, he withdrew his hand, looked at the glass cup in front of him, and cheered up slightly: "You go to Yunnan, you can often take Jun'er back for a walk, I think he has a good understanding, but he is still a little more clever, if you can correct your heart, you will definitely make a lot of achievements in the future." ”

Shen Simin lowered his head to wipe away his tears, slowly raised his head and said: "Jun'er is my indulgence, I was in a hurry to achieve success in those years, like cultivating him into a handsome talent as soon as possible, I didn't want to be in a hurry, but I neglected to teach him to be calm and introverted." I just had an idea, and I don't know if my father agrees with it? ”

Shen Guanyu said dotingly: "If you have anything to say in front of your father, just say it, why bother to spit it out." ”

Shen Simin smiled and said, "I only have one son, Jun'er, and I hope that he can contribute to the revitalization of the Du family." As a female streamer, although I was trained by my father when I was a child, I also knew a little bit of pen and ink, but my ability was limited.

"In my heart, my father is the most capable person in the world, and Ziyan is the Zhongxing talent of my Shen family, and the Shen family will definitely create brilliance in the future. Isn't the second room childless? I want to put Jun'er in the Shen family for a few years, let Ziyan be his teacher, cultivate and teach him for me, and also be influenced by the Shen family's century-old scholarly fragrance for a few years, I don't know if it's okay? ”

"Put Jun'er in the Shen family to raise you?"

Under the candlelight, Shen Guanyu narrowed his eyes, and his body leaned forward slightly because of the accident. "But there has never been such a rule in our family."

People like the Shen family usually have an unwritten rule that the family business is passed on to men but not to women, and not to the outside. There is also learning in this business.

Although the four great families have been in contact for a long time, and the scholars of the world also show a state of contention, but some of the housekeeping skills that belong to the family will still not be passed on, the way of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as the art of article making, etc., you can learn, you can ask for advice, and you can also have protégés, but in order to keep the family from generation to generation, there are always some core things that will be kept for private storage.

Among the four families of Shenqiu Duxie, because they have had in-laws for many years, there is another unwritten rule, that is, they do not give their grandchildren, and they do not pass on their sons-in-law.

As the saying goes, there is no first martial arts, there is no second, the four families are all high and low, each has a noble character and noble temperament, in order to avoid the suspicion of stealing materials, so whenever the two provinces come and go, the grandson lives in the grandfather's house and the children can study together, but the grandfather or uncle personally teaches the knowledge is usually avoided.

This family is not without erudite elders, who do not study in their own homes, but go to other homes to seek advice, how can this make the family embarrassed?

Therefore, Du Jun came to Beijing for a few days, and Shen Guanyu only asked about his homework, but did not criticize him strictly. After all, his surname is Du, not Shen.

"My daughter knows there is no such rule."

Shen Simin looked straight ahead, and the light reflected from the side, illuminating her a somewhat gloomy color. "But the daughter has only one son. Now among the four families, only the Shen family is the strongest, the Du family needs to rise, and Du Jun is your own grandson. Now that my father is only chatting with a few old friends in the DPRK and China, I don't know if I feel a little struggling?

"Any of their talents and backgrounds are not as good as the children of the three families of Du Xie Qiu, if the Du family rises up and Jun'er is born, can't they also help their father and even the Shen family? The four families have always complemented each other, and my father has always had a far-sighted talent and great courage, but now how can he take care of these? ”

"Besides," she paused and looked at Shen Guanyu: "My original intention was not to let Ziyan teach him the way of calligraphy, painting, piano and chess, but to teach him how to analyze the court situation, and have the ability to control the overall situation and judge the situation. Why didn't Dad give everyone a chance? ”R1152
