"Cough-" Shen Yi put down the teacup and coughed lightly, Shen Qin couldn't help laughing anymore and fell into her husband's arms.

Speaking of the old grievances between the big house and the second room of the Jiang Mansion, there is also a public case of an old matter. Jiang Ling's deceased grandfather, Jiang Pu, had two wives, the original surname was Wang, and she was Jiang Ling's own grandmother; The other surnamed Guo is Mrs. Guo. This Mrs. Guo is the wife of Jiang Puhou, but she is not filling the house, but the second wife. Since ancient times, the Han people have been monogamous, and the existence of two wives is not allowed in the etiquette law.

This has to start from more than 70 years ago, more than 70 years ago there was only one dynasty in the Central Plains is now the Southern Dynasty - Chen, at that time Da Chen was still a unified dynasty, the dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, several generations of emperors have not done much, but it has not reached the level of chaos in the world, until the former Chen Dynasty Emperor Ling ascended the throne, this emperor showed his special unique style of death as soon as he ascended the throne, and changed the method every day to toss the country and toss the ministers...... The result of the emperor's death was a great chaos in the world!

At that time, it can be said that the smoke was everywhere, and the heroes came out together, competing for the world, Jiang Pu was also a hot-blooded man at that time, and as soon as his brain was hot, he lost his father and his wife who had just married into the door, and Wang followed his eldest brother to fight the world. Jiang Pu's sworn brother is not an ordinary person, his surname is Zhao Fengxiang, from Yingchuan Zhao, the real is the gate valve family, this Zhao Fengxiang grandfather, grandfather, grandfather and father are all high-ranking officials of Da Chen, the fourth world and the third duke, such a life experience to fight the world, the competitiveness is definitely stronger than ordinary people, and he beat the little emperor of the Chen Dynasty to the south, and he established a new dynasty in the north, with the country name "Qin".

At that time, the foreign tribes heard that the Central Plains was in turmoil, and they also wanted to come to get a piece of the pie, and the Taizu of the Qin Dynasty did not want to be attacked from both sides, and it happened that Nanchen could not be defeated for a while because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River, so he fought with the foreigners, and when the Great Qin stabilized and the north completely settled down, it had been almost twenty years. For more than 20 years, Jiang Pu has been trembling and fighting with his eldest brother, and when the eldest brother saw that he was lonely and pitiful, he acted as a matchmaker for him and asked him to marry the daughter of another of his favorite generals, and this new wife was Mrs. Guo. This kind of thing will be quite common there, after all, there are too many husbands and wives separated during the war, and many generals have married women who are younger and more beautiful and of higher background than the yellow-faced woman in the family during the war, and even the Taizu at that time has married two queens, one queen is the original match, and the other is a foreign princess who married later.

Guo is the daughter of an upstart, her father was originally a butcher of dogs*, if it were in the peaceful era, Guo would never have married Jiang Pu, but in the era of war, everything is possible. When Taizu started to order troops, Guo Dad's bravery was favored by Taizu, and he was his own soldier, he followed Taizu to fight in the south and the north, and made countless achievements, becoming the first fierce general under Taizu! After the outbreak of others, they wanted to be rich and easy to change their wives, but Guo's father refused to abandon his bad wife, and Guo's was the youngest daughter born to Guo's father and his wife after he became rich.

When Guo married Jiang Pu at first, she also knew that Jiang Pu had an original partner in her hometown, but she didn't take it to heart, after all, she was more than ten years younger than Jiang Pu's original partner, and she didn't believe that she could not compare to a yellow-faced woman who was more than ten years older than herself. But she didn't know that Jiang Pu's original partner was not an ordinary yellow-faced woman, and Jiang Pu was not an ordinary nobleman who started out of his military exploits. Jiang Pu is the son of a family, and his wife must be the daughter of a family family. Jiang Pu's original surname is Wang, she is the daughter of the Lang evil Wang family, Grandpa Gao, grandpa, grandfather, father and eldest brother are all high-ranking officials of Da Chen, who have been pampered and well-maintained since childhood, even if Jiang Pu is fighting outside, the Wang family has not been tempered by life. Guo is more than ten years younger than Wang, from appearance and talent to demeanor, Guo can't even compare to a finger of Wang. If it weren't for the fact that Wang's father and brother, the staunch Chen Dynasty royalists, were killed by Taizu, they could only be a concubine according to Guo's identity.

Jiang Pu knew that the two tigers could not coexist, and after the original match was taken to the capital, he let the two wives live in separate hospitals, he liked the new and did not get tired of the old, under his hard work, soon Wang and Guo were pregnant almost at the same time, and each gave birth to a son to Jiang Pu, the eldest son Jiang Ke born to Wang, is Jiang Ling's father; And Guo gave birth to Jiang Ling's uncle Jiang Yi. In the next few years, the Wang family never conceived a child, and the Guo family gave birth to a few children, but except for Jiang Yi, they all died young, and then Jiang Pu couldn't even give birth to a child.

Jiang Pu followed Taizu and made great contributions, Taizu named him the Duke of Song, Jiang Ke is the eldest son, and he was born from the original match, so of course he was crowned the son, and after Jiang Pu died, he inherited the title of Duke of Song. Because Mrs. Guo has not yet died, it is the old Guogong Mansion that has not been divided, Jiang Ke is the long room, Jiang Yi is the second room, Jiang Ke is currently the Duke of Song and Shang Shuling, Jiang Yi is the official to Tai Changqing, and they are all close ministers of the emperor.

The two brothers were not born from the same mother, and were deeply influenced by their respective biological mothers, and the brotherhood was very weak, but the Jiang family was a scholarly family heirloom, and it was decided not to allow the situation that the mother was unkind, the son was not filial, the brother was not a friend, and the brother was disrespectful. Jiang Ling dared to lift the roof of his father's study, but he couldn't help but be disrespectful to Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Guo taught him a lesson, and he was not convinced and only dared to send a plucked pheasant to her.

He didn't think of mocking Mrs. Tai's birth when he sent Mrs. Tai's shaved chicken, this dynasty has not yet reached a hundred years, there is no shortage of dignitaries who were born in a slight cold, his ancestor Lu Shang * is not forced by life, and he also worked as a trader and butcher in his twilight years, but then he did not rely on his talent to deduce a good story with King Wen. Who in later generations mentioned Taigongwang and respected him as the master of a hundred schools?

He was purely unaccustomed to seeing Mrs. Tai's words about courtesy, righteousness and shame, but in fact, he was a man and a prostitute, but he didn't want to directly poke Mrs. Tai's sore spot, Mrs. Guo was already ashamed of her life experience, thinking that Jiang Ling ridiculed herself for wearing Hua Yu and was not a phoenix, how could she not be angry? This is also where Jiang Ling looks down on Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo the most - they are always ashamed of their background, but they don't want the people they look down on the most are their ancestors, and even their ancestors have forgotten that people are worthy of being honest?

"Kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred." Shen Yi reprimanded his son-in-law and said: "If you want to be angry, there is a way, is it necessary to do this kind of forbearance?" "Shen Yi watched Jiang Ling grow up, and he is no different from his own son, and he will not beat around the bush when he learns a lesson.

Jiang Ling said: "Other methods are too slow to work, and Brother will not allow me to do it." "Jiang Ling dares to go against his father, and he will never go against the will of his eldest brother.

Jiang's ancestral home is Tianshui, the ancestor is the Taigong of Qi Lu Shang, after Jiang Qi died in Tianqi, Jiang's descendants settled in Tianshui, with Tianshui as the county's hope, the generations of talents have come out in large numbers, for the generations of hairpins of the famous family, the family inheritance era is much longer than today's Great Qin Guozuo, the bigger the family rules, the more people in the big house and the second room of the Guogong Mansion do not know how many lives have been filled, but the face has to maintain the brotherhood of the father and uncle. For the second room, which only moves his mouth and does not use his muscles, neither the husband and wife nor the prince and his wife will care.

They follow the code of conduct that Shen Yi taught Jiang Ling since he was a child, be kind to others, and leave a line in everything, but once you are bound to be enemies with others, you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never leave a backhand. Even if there is a father killer sitting opposite, you have to smile when you are not sure that you can completely knock him into the ground...... Jiang Ling doesn't understand these truths, but he has always been happy and angry, if you make me uncomfortable, then I will make you even more uncomfortable! Jiang Wugongzi is so big that he doesn't know how to write the word "forbearance".

Shen Yi shook his head, he really couldn't figure it out, how could he raise Jiang Ling's son with his brother-in-law Jiang Ke, "You've been a doctor for eight years, don't you want to go up to the next level?" "Jiang Ling became an assistant teacher in the country when he was nineteen years old, and a year later he was promoted to a doctor because of his talent, and he stayed in this official position for eight years, firstly, Jiang Ling himself was unwilling to change his official position, and secondly, Jiang Ling was moody and freewheeling, and his actions were too uninhibited, and Jiang Ke did not dare to arrange too important positions for him, what should he do if he offended people?

"I don't want to." Jiang Ling shook his head, he felt that his official position was very good, he was idle and could read the royal collection at will, and there was someone to teach him a lesson, so why did he change places in such a comfortable position.

"Yang Ge Lao* will be a scholar in the coming year, and the people of Zhongshu will vacate a place...... Shen Yi said.

Zhongshushe people are of the same rank as Dr. Guozijian, all of them are five grades, but Dr. Guozijian is a noble casual job, and Zhongshushe people are important positions in Zhongshu Province. This official position is undoubtedly the most coveted position for people who have the heart to develop in officialdom, but for people like Jiang Ling who have no intention of pursuing a career at all, it is undoubtedly the most thankless official position.

"Aye, it's not that you don't know my temper, if I become a Zhongshu houser, I will offend everyone in Zhongshu Province." Jiang Ling is very self-aware, and he has no problem letting him write articles and handle government affairs, but it is too difficult to let him not offend people, "I still like Guozijian, if one day I can be a sacrificial wine and a great writer*, I will also be satisfied." ”

"Ah Qi, your father is just a child like you who can hold up." Shen Yidao, Jiang Ke has three sons, the eldest son recuperates on the couch all the year round, the second son died early, and the only one who grew up safely is Jiang Ling, Jiang Ling always has to bear the heavy responsibility of the family. He is the predecessor of Zhongshu Ling, and they are all people, but with Shen Yi's reputation, no one dares to object if he wants to arrange his son-in-law to enter Zhongshu Province, Jiang Ling's own talent is impeccable, but his temperament has always been reassuring, and the matter of his stunned Mrs. will not be spread outside, but the old Jiang clan will definitely not be able to hide it, and Jiang Ke and Jiang Rin are currently interested in inheriting the position of the prince by him in the future, and he doesn't know how to react to the old man.

"My brother is just frail, and the imperial doctor said that if he is properly maintained, he will be fine in his life, and my father is also in the prime of life, so where do I need to worry about my family. The eldest brother has also been a scholar for ten years, and Aya should let the eldest brother be promoted rather than bother with me. "The eldest brother in Jiang Ling's mouth is Shen Yi's eldest son, Shen Qin's eldest brother, he is fifteen years older than Jiang Ling and Shen Qin, the eldest brother is like a father, and has always taken care of both husband and wife.

Shen Yi didn't fail to answer his son-in-law's words when he heard this, and pointed to Jiang Wei, who was sleeping on his back in his arms, and said, "It's not early, you guys should go down and rest." ”

Jiang Ling hugged her daughter and retreated with her wife.

Shen Yi looked at the back of his son-in-law leaving and sighed.

"Why is Xianggong sighing?" A deep voice sounded, and a white-bearded old man who seemed to be over fifty years old asked with a smile outside the house. Shen Yiguan to the young master of the crown prince and the Zhongshu order, even if he is now a scholar, most of the people of the time call him Xianggong.

"Come in and accompany me in the next game, Zijing." Shen Yi said to the old man, this old man is Shen Yi's chief historian Zhou Jin, the word Zijing, after Shen Yi paid tribute, Zhou Zijing has always been by Shen Yi's side.

Zhou Zijing Shi Ran entered, set up a chess game and played against Shen Yi, he saw Shen Yi's unpredictable expression, he smiled and said: "Langzi is pure and filial piety, and the husband should be happy." ”

Jiang Ke's eldest son Jiang Rin is frail and sickly, he has been married for many years without children, the second son Jiang Kuang has died in battle before marrying a wife, Jiang Ling has only three sons in the long house of Jiang Mansion, if Jiang Ling is willing, he can be the son of the world, whether it is Jiang Ke or Jiang Rin will not refuse, but Jiang Ling has always respected his eldest brother very much, and he is unwilling to take the real job is not for Jiang Rin and Shen Yi. He knew very well that once he entered Zhongshu Province, even if he didn't want to, Jiang Ke and Jiang Rin would make him the prince of Song Guogong, and Shen Yi's eldest son would never have a chance with Zhongshu Ling.

Shen Yi and Jiang Ke are brothers-in-law, Shen Yi became famous as a young man, and when he was over thirty years old, he would have been an official to the Zhongshu Order, if it wasn't for Shen Yi's prime, it would not have been Jiang Ke's turn to be the Shangshu Order, Shen Yi's resignation of course did not intend to make way for Jiang Ke, but it could be regarded as selling Jiang Ke's favor. Now Jiang Ke is over fifty years old, as the prince of the country, the prince's grandfather, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, Jiang Ke Zhishi to avoid suspicion is indispensable, with the relationship between the Jiang family and the royal family, the future Zhongshu Ling must be Shen Yi's eldest son.

"Officialdom is unpredictable, and you don't know the blessings and disasters between trade-offs." Shen Yi has been cultivating for many years, Wu Xing Shen is the fourth and third dukes, he is the official to the Zhongshu Order, the family is extremely rich, Shen Yi has long seen the fame and fortune, "He is full of brotherhood, only wronged Ah Wen has no children." "Jiang Rin has no children, Jiang died early, if Aqi and Awen have only one son, the Jiang family may not ask them to succeed, but they currently have three sons. In other people, Shen Yi will also feel that the succession of brothers is the best situation, but people are always partial.

"The Song Mansion has deep brotherly affection, concubines and harmony, and no one is envious." Zhou Zijing smiled, "The lady is willing to come." ”

Shen Yiwaner, Jiang Rin and his wife Xie Ze are indeed impeccable to their daughters and sons-in-law, "Children and grandchildren have children and grandchildren." "Ah Qi and Ah Wen are both adults, and there are some things that he can do as an elder, and there is no need to point fingers.

He handed a letter to Zhou Zijing, which was a letter from the palace attendants, asking Shen Yi to come back as a bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion. Chongwenkan and Hongwenkan are both royal academies, and the students in them are all royal relatives, but Chongwenkan belongs to the East Palace, while Hongwenkan teaches the princes and nobles to study. The chief official of the two halls is a bachelor, the grade is not high, but non-high-ranking officials and celebrities can not serve, Shen Yi was a part-time bachelor of Chongwen Hall before he became a scholar, and his disciple was the current saint.

Zhou Zijing didn't speak after reading it, but left a son, Shen Yi glanced at the chessboard and said with a smile: "Zijing doesn't have something on his mind, why did he cut off his own way." ”

Zhou Zijing smiled, "I was dazzled for a while." But there is no need to correct, and there is no regret.

"Looks like you're going to lose this time." Shen Yi said.

"Not necessarily." Zhou Zijing leisurely fell again, the two fought back and forth several times, Zhou Zijing regained the disadvantage, and finally played a draw with Shen Yi.

Shen Yi looked at the chess game, "Zijing is really my good friend." "Sailing against the current, where is the way back?

"Xianggong has his own hills and valleys in his heart, why do you need me to remind him." Zhou Zijing didn't think that Shen Yi would hesitate to be so hesitant that he needed to remind himself, if he was such a person, how could he become the youngest prime minister of Great Qin.

"I'm old, I can't take care of mundane things, so I'd better stay at home and teach my granddaughter." Shen Yi said. In addition to the crown prince, there are five princes, among which the eldest son of An Guifei and the fourth son of the emperor are the most favored by the saints, the eldest son of the emperor is twelve years old, because of his intelligence, he completed the primary school * course early, and is about to enter the Hongwenguan to study, the prince is only three years old this year, and has not yet entered the school. How could Shen Yi go on this trip to the muddy waters? Not to mention that the queen is still Jiang Ling's half-sister.
