The originally tense atmosphere finally eased a little, and the group was about to enter Qingyixuan, when Liu was helped by someone and stumbled over not far away. Seeing Shen Yiming, who was being escorted and screamed, Liu screamed and threw himself over to protect Shen Yiming in his arms. Liu is the head of the house, and when she came forward, others naturally didn't dare to do anything more, so they had to stand aside. As soon as Shen Yiming saw that the Liu family had arrived, he immediately grabbed the Liu family as if he had found a backer and wailed in pain, while not forgetting to point at Shen Qingwan and said: "Mother, she caused her son to be beaten, you must avenge your son." It hurts... Woohoo......"

Liu knelt on the ground with Shen Yiming in his arms, looked at Shen Wenhua with a sad and resentful expression, and asked, "Master, what did Ming'er do wrong, you want to beat him like this?" He... He's so young, he's your only son... Whining... Miss Six, even if Ming'er offends you in something... But you're brothers and sisters......"

"Later, go into the house with my aunt. What kind of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are in this house? What it looks like when it goes out. If it really doesn't work, let your uncle make the emperor clear, and you will live in the Imperial History Mansion in the future. Looking at Mrs. Liu, who was kneeling on the ground and crying not far away, her face suddenly sank again, and she pulled Shen Qingwan and walked inside. The mother and daughter of the Liu family of the Shen family are all virtuous, but it doesn't matter if Shen Yijia and Shen Yue cry, this Liu family is old and doesn't know shame.

Shen Qingwan nodded, turned around and said indifferently to Liu: "Madame is serious, Ming'er was punished by his father." But speaking of which, Ming'er should also take care of it, lest outsiders say that we don't have a tutor in Shangshu Mansion. After speaking, he ignored Shen Wenhua's face on the side, and took Mrs. Gu's hand and went into the courtyard. Gu Xianli followed behind, looked at Liu with interest and said with a smile: "Uncle, the future stepmother... It's funny. "I've never seen anyone's wife who is so virtuous. No matter what the ladies and aunts of famous families do in private, they will always be graceful and dignified in front of outsiders. Also, isn't this one from a concubine? After speaking, he turned around and followed his mother and cousin, leaving the outside to Lord Shangshu, whose face was already as black as ink.

In the elegant and quiet flower hall, Shen Qing served the tea he had personally brewed to his aunt and cousin who were still angry.

Mrs. Gu took a sip of tea, felt that her anger had eased a little, and then looked at Shen Qingwan helplessly and said, "Look at your temperament, even a step-family concubine dares to bully you." Shen Qingwan didn't care, and looked at her aunt with a smile and said, "She is the cousin and niece of the old lady, not to mention, the evening has not suffered anything." Auntie, do you say so? ”

Gu Xianli frowned and said, "Today is our coming, and your father can't go unpunished in front of outsiders." If so, how can it be so easy? "Don't think he doesn't know, just twenty boards actually dragged on, and what really fell on Shen Yiming was just a few strokes. If it weren't for Shen Cheng's instructions, how could the subordinates have such a big courage to disobey the yang and the yin?

Shen Qingwan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Let my cousin and uncle and aunt worry." In the end, he is the son that his father loves the most, how can he not be partial. But Wan'er is not a vegetarian, if he really offends me, how can he get out so easily? In Shen Qingwan's opinion, Shen Yiming is just a spoiled child who doesn't like it very much. It's boring to worry too much about him.

Thinking of someone who was haunted by unlucky things during this time, Gu Xianli couldn't help but be happy. But I still can't help but tell my cousin to be careful. Shen Qingwan pinched the obviously not thin envelope, and as soon as her heart warmed, she raised her head and saw Mrs. Gu's gentle and loving eyes. Shen Qingwan's heart was slightly sour, "Aunt...... "Since my mother died, if it weren't for my uncle and aunt taking care of me from time to time, I wouldn't have been able to live so freely all these years." Before she could say words of thanks, Mrs. Gu reached out to hold her hand and smiled, "Silly child, you are the blood of the Gu family no matter what, aren't you?" Your uncle has only one sister in his life, so what can you do with this? ”

"Aunt......" Shen Qingwan lowered her eyes, not wanting Mrs. Gu to see the tears in her eyes.

Gu Xianli saw that the atmosphere was a little sad, and hurriedly smiled: "What my mother said is right, our Gu family only has one daughter in this generation." When the evening wedding, the uncle and the eldest brother, the second brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother will all enter Beijing. If it weren't for the fact that Grandpa was a little unwell this year, and the doctor wouldn't let him travel, he would have wanted to come. ”

Shen Qingwan also hurriedly endured the thoughts surging in her heart, "Grandpa is not well? That uncle, they..."

"Don't worry, grandpa is naturally immune to some minor illnesses when he is old. The climate of the capital is not as suitable for health as Yunzhou. As for the eldest brother, they were originally going to Beijing to prepare for next year's Spring Festival, but now they are just entering Beijing a few months earlier because of your wedding date. Afraid that Shen Qing would think too much about it later, Gu Xianli hurriedly comforted. Shen Qingwan couldn't help laughing, it's only the end of June now, and next year's spring festival is nearly a year away, and it's too early to advance. Knowing that his cousin wanted to comfort himself, Shen Qingwan also changed the topic according to his words and said strangely: "The second cousin, the fourth cousin and the fifth brother are all going to participate in the Spring Festival?" "Gu Xianqi, who is the second generation of the Gu family, is nineteen this year, Gu Xianrui, who is sixteen and fourteen this year, and Gu Xianfu, who is sixteen years old. As for the eldest Gu Xianli, who is twenty-two this year, he has already won the title of the first champion on the gold list as early as the age of fourteen. became the youngest teenager since the founding of Ling Qi. However, Gu Xianli didn't like officialdom, so he resigned at the age of fifteen and traveled to various places. At the age of twenty, he became the youngest gentleman of Lishan Academy. This cousin is by no means an exaggeration to describe it as stunning. Although Shen Qingwan hadn't seen him for several years, her image of this cousin was very profound. It's just that the five sons of the Gu family participated in the imperial examination at the same time, and the possibility of failing the list with the ability of the Gu family is extremely low, will it be too conspicuous?

Gu Xianli shrugged his shoulders and said, "Originally, it was the second brother and the fourth brother, and the fifth brother came by himself." It is said to surpass the title of the eldest brother who was a fourteen-year-old boy at the time. The eldest brother was born in February, and he was at the end of September. If you really win the champion, you will really surpass the big brother, but the chance is not big. "He has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and even if he reads, he likes to read military books, and he has no interest in whether to take the top prize or not. In fact, the Gu family is not very interested in the imperial examination, and they have no intention of becoming an official anyway. It's just that if they don't give it a try and get a certain rank, with their age, even if they are really rich and rich, they can't teach at Lishan Academy. How could those proud sons of heaven be convinced to be teachers by people about their age?

Mrs. Gu also smiled: "Actually, only Qing Ze really has to take the test, and the two boys Xianqi and Xianfu are just taking the opportunity to join in the fun." ”

"Second brother is planning to stay in the capital?" Shen Qingwan asked.

Gu Xianli smiled and praised: "It's still late and smart." However, the second brother stayed in the capital, but your cousin and I are going to travel far away. ”

Looking at Gu Xianli's radiant appearance, Shen Qingwan said with joy in her heart: "Could it be that the second uncle agreed to my cousin?" ”

Mrs. Gu nodded helplessly and with relief: "Isn't it?" This kid finally got his wish. Your uncle is planning to let him enter the army to hone and hone it. "Actually, Lord Yushi's mind is still very complicated, I hope that this son will be trained in the army for a while and can't stand it and go home obediently to inherit the tradition of the Gu family's scholarly family, but if Gu Xianli really dares to run back after a few months, I am afraid that it will inevitably be a good fight.

"Congratulations cousin." Shen Qingwan said with a smile. The second uncle has always disapproved of his cousin's joining the army, but now that he has finally relented, no wonder Gu Xianli is so happy.

"Evening auspicious words. Wait for my cousin and I to become a general, if the king of Chu dares to bully you, my cousin will be angry for you! ”
