The news that the Shen family's old mansion was being cleaned and sorted out reached Shen Ning's ears, making Shen Ning overjoyed.

It seems that his mother had persuaded Emperor Sima Zhou, and Sima Zhou allowed his mother to leave the palace and live back in the Shen family's old residence.

In this way, the time to see my mother is closer.

However, Yun Zhi also brought back news from the palace, and when Shen Ning entered the palace to meet His Majesty, Sima Qing refused the proposal to take the opportunity to meet, mainly because he was afraid of revealing his stuffing.

Shen Ning was a little disappointed, but he also knew that his mother was cautious.

The last time I went to Xuanwu Lake, I agreed to drink with Sima Zihao and Xiao Rui, but there was a delay in the past two days, and today I really couldn't escape the enthusiasm of the two, so I could only respond.

"Xiao Rui, where are we going to drink?" Sima Zihao asked.

Xiao Rui thought about it for a while, and then said, "Why don't you go to my house, I have a collection of aged imperial wine there, which was spoofed from my father." ”

"Good! This time it's the light of Brother Shen! Sima Zihao has long been greedy for his imperial wine, but unfortunately he has not been able to drink it.

"What does Brother Shen think?" Xiao Rui looked at Shen Ning.

Shen Ning said embarrassedly: "It's the first time I came to the door, and I didn't even bring some gifts, which seems too rude, or next time." ”

"Let's hit it off at first sight, don't be so polite, let's go." Xiao Rui immediately led the way.

The Xiao Mansion is not far from the Southeast Palace, four streets later. And when Shen Ning arrived at the place, he found that it was actually on the back street of Princess Changle's mansion.

The Xiao family is a high-grade clan in the imperial capital, and this Xiao Mansion is only home to Xiao Rui's father, and the entire Xiao family is extremely large. And Xiao Rui's father, Xiao Zhan, served as a Chinese scholar and was the deputy of Prime Minister Dong Ru.

If you rank the families in the imperial capital, not counting the royal family and the royal family, the top five families must be the Yang family, the Xiao family, the Wang family, the Dong family and the Zhang family.

The five are ranked in the same ranking, in between.

For example, the Dong family, although there is a prime minister Dong Ru, who is a very popular minister, the Dong family's savings are slightly weaker.

And the Yang family is a relative of His Majesty, and Uncle Yang Guo is the Shangshu Order of Shangshu Province and is in charge of the six departments.

The Xiao family naturally doesn't need to say much.

And the head of the Wang family served as the servant of the door, controlling the province of Menxia, and his daughters were also princesses.

Although the last Zhang family did not control the three provinces, the Zhang family had three marquis, and the top ten military marquis of the Great Jin Dynasty accounted for three, who dared to say that the Zhang family was weak?

followed Xiao Rui into the Xiao Mansion, walked through the huge mansion, and came to the courtyard where Xiao Rui lived.

"I've already ordered someone to prepare the food and drinks, and there is still some time, why don't we appreciate the calligraphy?" Recently, I got the Qinglin post of calligraphy master Wang Xiwen! Xiao Rui asked.

When Sima Zihao heard that it was Qinglin Ti, he nodded quickly.

Shen Ning was confused, Nima, whose calligraphy? I've never heard of it.

It's a pity that he can't refuse, otherwise he seems to be uneducated, so he can only bite the bullet and continue to pretend to be very knowledgeable.

When I came to the study, I saw Xiao Rui take the Qinglin post, open it carefully, and see the handwriting written on the scroll one by one scribbled to fly, just like seeing the calligraphy of the hospital doctor in the previous life.

Oops, if that's the case, then I can write it too! It's better than this one.

"How?" Xiao Rui hurriedly asked.

Sima Zihao stretched out his hand, lightly touched the handwriting, and exclaimed: "It is worthy of the authentic handwriting of Wang Xiwen, the master of calligraphy in the previous dynasty, elegant and free, natural, and the writing is so wonderful!" I don't even dare to touch it, and if I do, it's a sin. Brother Shen, what do you think? ”

"It's really well written! It is worthy of everyone's masterpiece. I think the most important thing in calligraphy is to have spirit, I call it the wind bones, you look at this handwriting, the wind bones are full, very people can reach. Shen Ning organized the language and immediately started blowing.

Xiao Rui and Sima Zihao nodded again and again, and praised: "Brother Shen still has vision, and he said the key in one word." There are so many calligraphers and painters in the world, why Wang Xiwen's words are known as everyone, and he is a holy hand, is because of his style. On the other hand, what other people write is the same! Brother Shen is a person who has studied calligraphy deeply! I believe that Brother Shen's calligraphy is absolutely outstanding. ”

Shen Ning said humbly: "Where is it, today I still borrowed Brother Xiao's light to see everyone's true works!" As for my handwriting, it's unsightly. ”

After speaking, Shen Ning was afraid that if he continued to stay, he would reveal his stuffing, so he said: "Brother Xiao, I'll go out for convenience, and you can continue to appreciate it." ”

"Good! Brother Shen, please feel free to let the subordinates outside the door lead you over. Xiao Rui said.

Shen Ning nodded and hurriedly escaped from the study.

Under the guidance of his subordinates, Shen Ning came to the thatched house, and after convenience, he found that there was a small garden not far away. Now when I go back, I still have to see the calligraphy of those ghostly drawings, so I might as well go to the garden.

So Shen Ning walked over, and then walked away.

The garden is not too big, but it is exquisite.

In the middle is a pond filled with colorful koi fish and surrounded by purple and red flowers, making the garden look colorful.

Shen Ning walked on the bridge, looking at the koi playing in the water, enjoying the summer breeze with heat, and was extremely relaxed.

Living in conspiracy all day long, having to be careful, made Shen Ning forget the gentleness of the wind, the heat of the sun, and the fragrance of the flowers.

Just as Shen Ning was enjoying this moment of relaxation, not far behind him, a voice sounded: "Are you my child?" ”

Shen Ning came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and saw a woman standing not far away, looking more than forty years younger, looking at Shen Ning.

A woman must have been a beautiful woman when she was young, but now she is old, and her countenance has been baptized by time, but she is far superior to her peers.

"In Xia Shenning, meet Madame!" Shen Ning bowed his hand, curious about the identity of this person.

The woman took two steps forward and asked, "Are you my child?" ”

Her gaze was a little erratic, and she didn't seem to be in good spirits.

Shen Ning shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen Madame in the next place." ”

"Are you my child?" The woman took two more steps forward and continued to ask.

Shen Ning shook his head again.

Then the woman became anxious and began to walk around, as if looking for something.

"What about my children, what about my children..."

Seeing this scene, Shen Ning could conclude that this woman was insane and a madman.

"What's your child's name?" Shen Ning hurriedly reassured.

The woman shook her head and began to speak incoherently: "What about my child... They said it was dead, they said it was lost, no, no, no, no, my child was in my arms, and I saw it yesterday..."

Shen Ning continued to comfort: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to find the child!" ”

It's a pity that Shen Ning's appeasement didn't have too much effect, and the woman became more and more impatient.

Just as Shen Ning was about to call someone, Xiao Rui and Sima Zihao ran over.

I saw Xiao Rui hugging the woman and shouting: "Mother, mother, the child is here, here, the child is not going anywhere..."

The woman was still shaking her head, but her mood slowly stabilized.

Shen Ning took a few steps back and came to Sima Zihao's side.

Sima Zihao said in a low voice: "This is Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Rui's biological mother. Eighteen years ago, when she gave birth to Xiao Rui's sister, the child had an accident. Mrs. Xiao couldn't stand the blow, so..."

Shen Ning nodded, I see.

After a while, Xiao Rui comforted the woman and sent her back to the room.

"Brother Shen, I'm sorry! Makes you laugh. Xiao Rui said apologetically.

Shen Ning shook his head and said, "Pity the hearts of parents in the world, I hope that Mrs. can come out of her sadness as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Rui nodded.

The three of them left the garden and returned to the main hall, where the food and drinks were ready.

Because of this incident, Xiao Rui's mood was a little low, so the three of them didn't drink for too long, and Shen Ning and Sima Zihao took their leave.

Xiao Rui sent the two to the door of the mansion and said apologetically: "This time the hospitality is not good, next time I will set up a banquet to entertain Brother Shen, and the prince will continue to accompany him." ”

"It's up to me next time." Sima Zihao hurriedly said.

Shen Ning could only smile and say, "Then I'll do it next time." Brother Xiao, go back and sit with Mrs. Xiao. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, and watched Shen Ning and Sima Zihao leave on horseback.

On the way, Shen Ning asked more: "Brother Xiao's sister died at birth?" ”

Sima Zihao shook his head and said, "If it is an untimely death, it is fate, and Mrs. Xiao doesn't have to be so insane." The child had just been born, and before Mrs. Xiao could hug her, she was snatched away by a sudden assassin. ”

"Huh?" Shen Ning was taken aback, he didn't expect this result.

"Later, I checked the entire imperial capital, searched and searched, but I never found it. And the Xiao family did not receive a letter approving the blackmail, and the child and the assassin were never heard from in this way. Mrs. Xiao couldn't stand the stimulation, so it became like this. Sima Zihao replied.

Shen Ning sighed: "I hope that the child Jiren has a natural appearance and will live well in the world." ”

"yes!"

......

The task given to Shen Ning by Emperor Sima Zhou could not be delayed for too long, and if it was too long, it would seem that Shen Ning's ability was insufficient, so he was ready to enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint.

As for how to tell the story, Shen Ning had already thought of his words.

Now there are still twenty days before the emperor's birthday, and taking advantage of this time to let Sima Zhou see Shen Ning's value is what Shen Ning needs to do the most.

Turn on the system, and now the score has risen to 90,100.

It's not far from the next coming.

The system will continue to reward points according to Shen Ning's performance, and after getting Princess Changle, and pulling Sima Zhou's line, the system will reward a lot of points.

I believe that after the report is completed tomorrow, I will be rewarded by Sima Zhou, and the reward will be worth enough to spin the wheel.

It's only been half a year, and Zhang Liao, Lu Xun, Li Ru and Jia Xu have already descended, and these people are Shen Ning's right-hand men on the road to the future.

Although Jia Xu has not yet returned to Shen Ning, Shen Ning is confident that he will accept him sooner or later.

"I still have the purification method of perfume and liquor in my hands, which is a good business to make money. I can find a reliable chamber of commerce and let them run it, and I just need to get a piece of the pie. If you have money and power, you won't let me call the shots in this world? ”

Shen Ning is not an ordinary person, revenge is his responsibility, but at the same time of revenge, he also has to control greater power.

The destruction of the Shen family is a warning, only the most powerful force, sweeping all enemies, can protect the people you love, and without strong power, you can only become a victim.
