Shen Huairen went into the inner room to change his regular clothes, cleaned his face and hands with hot water, and then sat down at the table.

I took another cup and took a few sips of tea to moisten my throat.

Seeing him do this slowly, Zheng Wanru was anxious, urging, "Master, if you have something to say, hurry up, don't let my heart be pinched, what happened to you to Nan'er?" ”

Shen Huairen laughed softly and said, "Madam, seeing that you are in a hurry, Nan'er is also my son, what else can I do with him." In order for him to study with peace of mind and not be influenced by others, I decided to let him live in the academy from now on, and Aoyama will take care of him. ”

Qingshan is Shen Huairen's personal entourage, and in the past, he was accompanied by Qingshan.

"I don't agree." Zheng Wanru immediately objected, "Let Nan'er live in the academy, it's not like a bird tied in a cage, there is no freedom at all." Nan'er is very self-disciplined, she has been living at home all these years, when you delay your studies, aren't you messing around. ”

For Shen Huairen, Zheng Wanru has respect and love, but she is not afraid, fearless, or cowardly, and never lets it go.

"If you don't work hard when you're young, the boss is empty and sad, madam, I'm also for Nan'er's good. He is very serious and hard-working, but he is still a child after all, and sometimes he mishears people's words without knowing the importance of it.

Like last time, I was still annoyed when I remembered that Qiduo that child didn't speak before, he looked very well-behaved, how could he open his mouth, he picked Nan'er to play, hum! Shen Huairen's face was suddenly covered with a thin cream, his left hand turned into a fist, and he knocked lightly on the table.

Zheng Wanru was displeased, and retorted, "Master, you are too unreasonable, I don't think Nan'er was wrong about what happened last time, and Qiduo is even more wrong, they are not going to play, and I don't want my son to be just a pedantic and indifferent nerd in the future." ”

Her face sank as well. And skimmed his face aside, breathing a little heavily.

Shen Huairen saw that she was angry. I couldn't bear it, and I eased my complexion.

He sighed softly. said, "Madam, I know that you spoil Nan'er, and I can't see him suffering, so I promise you to let him live in the academy for two months first." If the mind is completely settled, let him go home to live, this will be done, right? ”

Zheng Wanru is not a stubborn temper, since Shen Huairen gave in. He was no longer stubborn and nodded in agreement.

However, in his heart, he was thinking about what excuse to find in a few days to let Shen Nan come back.

"What did you say about getting together with Lord Huang these days, what do you think about re-entry?" Zheng Wanru changed the subject.

Shen Huairen's face sank again, and he let out a long sigh.

The clear eyes are very complex, with both anger and worry. There was also a hint of confusion.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Zheng Wanru hurriedly asked.

Shen Huairen sighed again!

Zheng Wanru's heart tightened, but it was rare to see her husband so gloomy.

She softly took her husband's hand and said softly. "Master, what's wrong, say it. Let me bear it with you. You're like this, and it worries me a lot. ”

Shen Huairen's heart warmed. The backhand patted Zheng Wanru's hand a few times.

He turned his head to look at the closed door and lowered his voice. "I'm not in a hurry about joining the office, it's still early, and Lord Huang is here. It's just that I've heard them talk about the recent situation of the Holy Lord, and I'm worried about our Daimyo Dynasty. ”

Zheng Wanru hurriedly got up and opened the door to take a look, and saw that there was no one, so she closed the door again.

Although in addition to their husband and wife, there are only Uncle He and Sister-in-law Li in the family, but the emperor is involved, and they can't be careful.

She sat down next to Shen Huairen, lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong with the Holy One?" ”

"Alas, in the past few years, the saint has become obsessed with the art of immortality, and has set up mandalas all over the palace, alchemy and medicine to raise Taoists, and I don't know how much silver it cost. Last year, he recruited a new group of so-called Daoist 'immortals', listened to their words and began to refine red lead, using methods to destroy the body and mind of the palace maid and even mutilate their lives, desperately taking the raw materials for alchemy.

Lord Huang and the others once made a statement, but they were loyal to the ear, and they were severely scolded by the saint, and said that if there was a next time, they would all be dismissed and go home. Alas, sad and lamentable. Shen Huairen said with resentment.

hates the emperor's mediocrity, worries about the safety of the court and the country.

"What is red lead? Does its raw material have anything to do with the palace maids? Zheng Wanru asked puzzled.

Shen Huairen clenched his fists, his face was pale, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.

"You husband and wife, what else can't you say?" Zheng Wanru saw his hesitation and said.

Shen Huairen bowed his head lightly, but even if he faced his wife, he was still embarrassed to say it loudly.

He chimed over and whispered in Zheng Wanru's ear.

"What? What a bastard! After Zheng Wanru learned the reason, she couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Madam, be careful!" Shen Huairen was shocked and subconsciously covered her mouth.

Insulting the emperor is a capital crime of rebellion!

Zheng Wanru pushed away her husband's hand, her face was flushed with anger, and said, "He dares to do it, is he still afraid of being scolded, it is really inhumane, if it goes on like this, our famous dynasty is ...... It's so inhumane, sir, our son doesn't have to study from now on, and he will all go back to the countryside to farm. ”

She wanted to scold more ugly, but after all, she was afraid of the other party's identity, and swallowed some of the words raw.

But I have been disappointed in the imperial court in my heart, with such a king, what hope does the country have, and what is the use of studying.

Shen Huairen whispered to her that in order to refine the Immortal Aphrodisiac Pill, the emperor collected the menstrual blood of the virgin * girl, and secretly selected young girls to enter the palace among the people, hundreds of people each time.

In order to collect more menstrual blood, those Taoist priests used all kinds of methods to destroy the body, and frantically collected them, and all these young girls died tragically within a year after entering the palace.

Shen Huairen gently patted Zheng Wanru's hand and comforted him gently, "Madam, don't be so pessimistic, Lord Huang and several elders in the court are also actively thinking of ways, hoping to make the saint wake up and no longer superstitious about the art of immortality." ”

"Hmph, the more he is in a high position, the more he wants to live forever, where would he give up so easily. How did he know that there was no art of immortality in the world, it was just a fool's dream, and he often took those pills, which were harmful to the body and not beneficial, and in the end it would only be self-defeating. Zheng Wanru was coldly sarcastic.

Shen Huairen also shook his head.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible for people to live forever, otherwise the world would not have been overcrowded long ago.

"Master, if the saint is obsessed. I advise you not to re-enter the profession and be a teacher. When we have nothing to do, we farm and raise fish, and the land at home is enough for our family to live.

I don't seek to be rich. I just want the family to be safe and live happily. In a few years, when Bin'er Lin'er becomes a family, we can tease our grandson again, how happy we are, it is far easier than those intrigues in the officialdom. Zheng Wanru said.

Shen Huairen also had a peaceful smile on his face, and all this depicted by his wife was really peaceful and quiet.

But his ambition is not in the mountains, and there is still a task to be completed.

"Ma'am. If everyone doesn't enter the court as officials, what should we do with the country? When I arrange the future of Bin'er, Lin'er and Nan'er, I will resign and retire, and then we can live the quiet life we have now. Shen Huairen said softly.

Zheng Wanru was not reluctant, just nodded lightly, "Holy Lord, I really don't want my sons to be officials anymore, and I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse in the future." ”

"Don't worry too much, ma'am. Things will always work out. Shen Huairen persuaded gently, and then didn't want to continue this heavy topic, so he changed the conversation and asked with a smile. Madam, what is your impression of Miss Wong? ”

"Are you Sister Rong?" Zheng Wanru asked.

Her expression was also a little relaxed, after all, the affairs of the court were not for her as a woman to worry about.

"Exactly." Shen Huairen smiled and nodded.

Zheng Wanru also had a faint smile on her face. "When we met for the first time, I looked at the knowledge of books and etiquette. Very well-behaved, how can you talk about this well? ”

"Huh. The meaning of Lord Huang's words is that he wants to form a family with us. Shen Huairen said with a smile.

"Lord Huang is in Lin'er or Bin'er?" Zheng Wanru also had a happy look on her face, and asked hurriedly.

Shen Huairen smiled and waved his hand, "It's not them, it's Nan'er." ”

"What, Nan'er?" Zheng Wanru was stunned for a moment and hurriedly waved her hand, "No, Nan'er is too young, and it's too early to discuss relatives at this time." Didn't you say that you would wait for the children to succeed in their studies before talking about marriage, why do you want to propose marriage to Nan'er early now, it's true. ”

There was a lot of complaining in her tone, if it was Shen Bin or Shen Lin, she would definitely consider it.

But when I heard that it was Shen Nan, I refused almost without thinking about it.

"If it were someone else, I might not be tempted, but Lord Huang is now a scholar, and it will be of great help to Nan'er's future in the future. And Sister Rong I have also seen twice, with excellent appearance and dignified manners, worthy of Nan'er, if it can be successful, it will be a good match. Shen Huairen said what he thought.

Zheng Wanru was unmoved, and shook her head, "No, Nan'er is studying hard right now, and the family will definitely distract him." We have only met Sister Rong once or twice, and it's hard to say what the real character is. Let's find out more about it first, and we'll talk about it later, don't rush. ”

With that, she got up and went to the kitchen to cook a few special dishes for her husband to eat.

This topic has been put aside.

Shen Huairen looked sideways at Zheng Wanru's back, and his eyes became softer.

He remembered the scene when he first met her, twenty years later, she was filial to his parents, gave birth to three sons, and suffered a lot of hard work, without regrets.

How fortunate it is to have a wife like this in this life.

After breakfast the next day, I took Tan Deyin to Qiduo's house in the backyard.

Tan Deyin had a big bag swollen on his forehead, the color was blue and purple, and Old Man Tan really used his strength at that time.

At the same time, he also used his left hand against the position of his lower back, and his walking posture was very stiff, I don't know if he hurt his waist or his back.

It's not to quarrel and make trouble, but to sincerely apologize to Tan Dejin and his wife.

I don't know if San Lang persuaded Yang, or if Yang and Tan Deyin realized that they had done wrong.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, I can't stand you, let you be wronged." As soon as he entered the house, Tan Deyin apologized to Tan Dejin and his wife with tears in his eyes.

and raised his foot with difficulty and kicked the Yang family, scolding, "Yang Huafeng, you dead mother-in-law, don't you apologize to your eldest brother and sister-in-law quickly, you are so bold now, you dare to hide from me to come to find trouble with my eldest brother and sister-in-law, you are tired of you."

Tell you Yang Huafeng, brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, next time you dare to do such nonsense to drive a wedge between our brothers, look at me and stop you, dead things. ”

Yang's face was red and white, and he was very embarrassed.

can see that Tan Deyin dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, as if he was worried that he would really be suspended.

Her lips pursed, and she said for a long time, "Big brother and sister-in-law, at that time, I also saw that Deyin was hurt and anxious, and I made a mistake on the spur of the moment, can you forgive me this time."

The words I said yesterday were all nonsense from me in a hurry, and you don't talk about it in your heart, just treat what I said as a fart and ignore it. ”

When Tan Deyin and his wife first entered the house, Xu was unwilling to pay attention, bowing his head and still sewing clothes, but his eyes kept falling on the scissors in the basket.

Thinking that if the two of them came to mess around again, she took scissors and fought with them.

But now that the two of them said soft words to apologize, she was embarrassed to be silent anymore and raised her head.

Tan Dejin has been paying attention to her actions, and when he saw that she moved, he quickly stood up and said to Tan Deyin, "Second brother, younger brother and sister, we are all fathers and mothers, and no one will watch their children be wronged and ignore it." Thinking that Qiduo almost lost his life at that time, can you understand the feelings of me and your sister-in-law? ”

"Yes, of course I understand." Yang answered, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, I am also a mother, I think that for the sake of Da Lang back then, my liver and intestines were broken, and my eyes were almost blind from crying, how could I not know your mood at that time, alas! ”

Speaking of Da Lang, Xu and Tan Dejin felt more guilty.

Xu said, "Second Uncle and Second Mother, in fact, we went to find my father yesterday, just hoping that the second uncle could correct Duo's name, who knew that those unpleasant things happened later, and we didn't expect that my father would be so angry." ”

"Alas, I know in my heart that my father was angry, not all for Qiduo, but mainly because I was not at home when the old Wu family came to make trouble, which made him lose his backbone and feel uncomfortable, so he took the opportunity to beat me a few times to get angry.

Hua Feng, this mother-in-law, indiscriminately, came to make trouble with you, at that time I had a terrible back pain, and I really couldn't get up, otherwise I would have come over and beat her up to be angry with my eldest brother and sister-in-law. Tan Deyin said.

Everywhere towards the Tan Dejin couple, the responsibility is taken on himself.

Tan Dejin was even more moved, brothers are brothers, they were beaten like this, and they didn't complain.

Hi!

Xu's mood was also a little better, but he was still entangled in the matter of Qiduo Ke Zhao, so he asked again, "Second uncle, there are only four of us today, you tell me the truth, what happened when you said Duo Ke Niang."

Anyway, the matter is over, and we won't pursue it anymore, it's just that Duo is young and has a reputation for carrying a gram on his back. ”

Tan Deyin's face was embarrassed.

He scratched his head, and only after a while did he cover his mouth and cough, and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, that incident was really mysterious at the beginning, and at the beginning, it was indeed calculated that Qiduo and Niang were in conflict with each other, and I also asked my master that Qiduo must be sent to a hundred miles away, so that the two of them will be safe."

But who would have thought that Qiduo would wake up after hiding in the cellar and fainting, I pinched my fingers and counted carefully, but I was surprised to find that her life seemed to have quietly changed, and she was not compatible with her mother. This is why I didn't mention sending away Qiduo later, because sending her away couldn't cure my mother.

However, I also have a bad problem, that is, I want to save face, and besides, I still eat food, and if I tell you at that time that I am wrong, you must not scold me to death. So...... That's why it's been holding on to the duck's beak.

Alas, if I had known that it would cause these unpleasant things and affect the relationship between our brothers, I should have said it early in the morning, hey, just for this useless old face. ”

Tan Deyin's expression was very sincere, and he said the cause and effect of the incident and admitted his mistakes.

After the last, he slapped himself hard and regretted what he had done.

The matter has been said, Tan Deyin was beaten, apologized, and beat himself again, Tan Dejin and Xu couldn't say anything, so they had to nod and forgive him.

Tan Deyin and Yang even claimed that the eldest brother and sister-in-law were reasonable, and then left with a smile.

After Qiduo heard her father and mother say this, she was also a little confused, and she didn't know if Tan Deyin and his wife sincerely repented or wanted to play some tricks.

She didn't want to bother thinking about these useless things, if it was a fox, the tail would show up sooner or later.

I remembered the separation again, and this thing suddenly fell silent, something was wrong, it seems that I have to think of a way.

Her gaze fell on Rokuro. (To be continued......)
