"The first eldest prince outside the founding of the dynasty, Renxuan and the two emperors can't reach it."

The Imperial City at midnight was silent.

Brother Shou was lying on the bed, but he stared at the top of the tent, and read that sentence in his mouth. This is his own identity, his own glory, he was canonized as the crown prince at the age of half a year, and the reason why he was recognized by the world is because he is the identity of "Yuanzi", both the grandson and the elder, and this concubine is obviously placed behind the elder.

Otherwise, if he is the eldest son, how could his father establish a prince early when he is so fond of his wife?

If he is not a son-in-law, then the second prince is a legitimate candidate for the crown prince, even if he is old, he must retreat, this is the imperial family eldest son inheritance system set by Emperor Taizu, there are grandchildren, there are no grandchildren.

Once in Layueli, Yang Tinghe took an opportunity to say a few words to him in private.

Brother Shou thought that Yang Tinghe would admonish himself, after all, several teachers had a headache for not liking to read. For the delicate relationship between himself and the queen, several teachers also saw it. But I was in a chaotic mood, and I couldn't calm down to read, so I could only continue to play to vent my frustration.

Although his father doted on him, there were some things that could not be asked even between father and son.

Regarding the rumors in the palace, how can a few teachers not hear about them when they enter and leave the imperial city? Li Dongyang's words were all about mentioning him with filial piety, but Brother Shou couldn't listen to a word.

Yang Tinghe didn't say anything about the rumors in the palace, but praised Brother Shou's identity.

In the homework of a few days, Yang Ting and Brother Rang Shou read "Historical Records: The Family of Confucius".

The world respects etiquette and religion and respects Confucius as a saint, but Brother Shou only thinks it is ridiculous when he sees the origin of this saint.

However, an old landlord strengthened the illegitimate son born to the village aunt in the wild, but when he grew up, he talked to others. If you really want to talk about it, he is not polite from the root of his birth.

Scholars all over the world respect Confucius as their teacher, what can they learn?

When he arrived at Yang Tinghe's class next time, Brother Shou talked about this problem. However, he slandered his belly, and his words were still measured. The Ming Dynasty was governed by civil officials, and even if Brother Shou didn't like Kong Qiu in his heart, he would not say bluntly that he would say contemptuous words about saints and sages.

There were no secrets in this court, which he had known since he was six years old.

Yang Tinghe didn't seem to hear the disrespect for the saint in Brother Shou's tone, but it was inspired by another kind of dream legend from the Confucian saint.

The life experiences of the ancients, emperors and saints have a lot of dreams.

Some are to elevate their status, and some can see that in ancient times, the ancestors only knew their mothers but did not know their fathers. Even in the history books, he only knows his mother, and his father's identity is mostly a myth.

When the officials accompanying him heard this, they all felt that the clouds and mountains were covered with fog, and this Yang scholar was really a well-educated person. Even if there are those who know the book, they have reported in front of the emperor, and they will pay attention to some conversations between the prince and Mr., and they don't think there is anything wrong with Yang Tinghe's words.

Only Brother Shou was sensitive to whether he was a queen or not, and he felt that Yang Tinghe's gaze looking at him was very meaningful, so he thought about it a lot, and a cold sweat broke out behind him when he thought of it.

Like an initiation, he finally stopped worrying about whether the rumors were true or false, and he no longer thought about whether the rumors were released by others to separate him and the queen, or whether the queen had a side idea after giving birth to the second prince

Nanchang Mansion, the residence of the political envoy Yamen, Shen Residence.

Sitting under the lamp, looking at his brother's handwriting, Shen Zhou was expressionless and sat in a daze.

Before the letter came from Beijing, I went to the post station and came down with the official documents of the imperial court; This time, what Shen Cang wanted to say was Qiao's fault, it was the Shen family's private affairs, so Shen Cang sent the second housekeeper to bring the letter south.

In winter, the North Canal waterway is not passable, and the housekeeper sets off at the beginning of the month, and does not arrive at Nanchang Mansion until the fifteenth day of the first month.

This is Shen Zhou's second New Year outside Beijing, and compared with last year's New Year, this year's New Year is a bit deserted. However, although Shen Ling's wife He is a bride, she handles housework in an orderly manner, even if the Shen family only has four uncles and nephews, the New Year is also decent. The courtesy between colleagues and bosses and their daughters, Shen Ling and his wife also handled it properly. Compared with last year, when the hostess of the Shen family was closed, this year has become much stronger.

Although Shen Zhou is nearly fifty years old, he has a good background and his grade is not low, and now that his relatives have returned to Beijing to recuperate, he does not even have a prestigious concubine room around him, so many people are matchmakers, and they want to tell him a concubine room to serve and live, but they all refuse to Shen Zhou.

Now the situation of this nephew and daughter-in-law's housekeeper, Shen Zhou is quite satisfied. If there is any disadvantage, it is that the relationship between the clan and nephew is still far away after all, and the nephew and daughter-in-law's housekeeper are a little unjustifiable. However, in the past two years, when Shen Jue got married and his daughter-in-law entered the door, someone in the family took over.

As for his wife Qiao, Shen Zhou had long stopped counting on it, and only hoped that she would live in peace and stability after returning to Beijing as she wished.

I didn't expect it to be a few months later.

When he heard that someone from the capital was coming, Shen Zhou thought of Qiao's body; After reading this letter, he didn't know whether he was more and more down-to-earth or more and more dazed.

What the hell was Qiao thinking?

She never forgot her fourth brother, and regarded her fourth brother as the reincarnation of Brother Luo, and cried when she thought of it; By returning to Beijing for the funeral, wouldn't it be good to stay at home? You can also see the fourth brother and solve the pain of Sizi.

In the final analysis, Qiao's is just greedy and insufficient, and he is not satisfied with seeing the fourth brother, so he has to snatch the fourth brother to his side completely.

Shen Zhou stroked his forehead and laughed at himself.

I am really despicable, if you crown Qiao's "lack of greed", you can blame Qiao's fault thirty years ago?

Now although the elder brother's family letter asks him how to deal with Qiao's family, he knows the temper of his brother and sister-in-law, Qiao's ignores the bodies of the third master and the fourth brother, and calculates his family like this, and his brother and sister-in-law can't tolerate it.

There is also the tribulation of Shen Jue, which cannot be said to have buried hidden dangers for the inheritance of the Shen family. You must know that the grandfather was weak back then, that is, he suffered from frostbite when he was a child, which injured his kidneys.

Shen Zhou took a pen and paper, and Feilong replied a letter to the eldest brother. In the letter, there was disappointment in Qiao's family, guilt for the third old man and his wife, concern for Shen Jue's heir and other two nephews, and most importantly, shame for his brother and sister-in-law. Regarding Qiao's placement, he proposed to send him to Changping Zhuangzi to "recuperate".

That Zhuangzi was the dowry of the third old lady, and after Shen Zhou was separated by the third lady, the third old lady was afraid that her son would have a cold life, so she gave this Zhuangzi to Shen Zhou. Now Zhuangzi is in charge of Shen Zhou's nurse, and she is a person that Shen Zhou can trust.

When Shen Zhou put down the pen, he could still hear the girl's beautiful voice like a yellow warbler in a trance in his ears: "Second cousin, talk with my little sister......"

Cross-hospital, north room.

There are three small north rooms, with a living room in the middle, a bedroom to the east, and a study to the west.

There was a bangzi sound in the distance, it was already the third watch, but the lights in the east and west rooms were on.

In the study on the west side, Shen Ling finished today's homework, stood up, rubbed her wrist, and sighed softly. For him, reading and learning is more difficult than he imagined. However, compared with all the difficulties encountered in doing business, reading is like enjoying happiness.

Shen Ling thought that she was not in a hurry, thinking that even if she was only a child in this life, she could teach her son to take the Xiucai exam, and when she arrived at her grandchildren, she might be able to offer someone at home.

But...... He looked at the North House.

As if he had a heart, Shen Ling's wife He came out of the east house, and the husband and wife looked at each other.

He Shiwan smiled, raised the clothes in his hand, and said: "The concubine has done the spring shirt, the second brother will try it now when he is free, and the concubine is changing if there is something that does not fit." ”

Shen Ling got up and went over, and the husband and wife went to the bedroom.

Shen Ling shook her head disapprovingly and said: "Even if you want to make clothes, don't do it at night, it will burn your eyes, and you will suffer in the future." ”

In the end, it is a newlywed, between words, Shen Ling grabbed He's hand, looked at the red and swollen fingers, frowned, and said: "Even if the lady loves me, she is not making clothes, how can it be good to burn oil with a lamp like this, how can it be good to break your eyes?" Speaking of this, with melancholy: "You married me, you are really wronged......"

As a young lady from the county family, it is not difficult for the He family to say a decent family business. The sons of other official eunuchs, or the local gentry and wealthy families, whether it is the former or the latter, the life of the He family will be better than now.

A white-bodied nephew of a fourth-grade auxiliary official, marrying in is the business of an official lady. Before Shen Ling got married, she was faintly weak-hearted, and she was also worried that the He family would discriminate against herself as a lady of the official family.

For the county-honored father-in-law who generously married his daughter, Shen Ling was not respectful, but had objections in her heart. Even if you want to find a way and hug your thighs, it's too ruthless to marry your daughter like this. This is called having a stepmother, there is a stepfather, if He's biological mother is still there, a young lady will not marry in such a mess. Although the person who married Shen Ling herself, Shen Ling didn't think it was a good family affair.

Waiting for He Shi to come in, he was full of books, generous, and gentle and interpretive. Shen Ling's unexpected joy is even more cherished by love. Both husband and wife have boiled out of hard days, and now the wife is peaceful, it is a good life, but it is like honey blending oil.

The more gentle and considerate He was, the more Shen Ling didn't want to wronged her. The only thing he can do is to study hard, and he has long since left his white identity to give his wife a decent look.

He Shi said angrily: "The second brother only said that the concubine didn't look at himself? A few days ago, it was said that the third watch would be rested before the third watch, and the fourth watch genius was not placed in these days. Reading is not an overnight thing, if the second brother continues like this, the concubine can only sacrifice her life to accompany her husband."

Hearing her say this, Shen Ling couldn't help but feel apprehensive in her heart, and hesitated: "I started better than others, and I wasn't very smart, but now I'm just thinking that diligence can make up for it...... However, the career of the imperial examination is unclear, if I ...... If I can't make it, I'm really sorry for you, good wife......"

He Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then glanced at him and said, "Isn't the concubine not marrying the second brother as a lady, but coming to be a husband for the second brother?" The second brother doesn't study, they are all concubines' husbands......"

Shen Ling stretched out her hand and hugged her wife in her arms, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to be white all the time, I'm afraid that I won't be worthy of my wife......"

He Shi said softly: "Why does the second brother think so? If you really want to talk about the level of the family, the Shen family is a Songjiang family, my family only started from my father's generation, and my grandfather was still farming in the countryside. My young lady has a good reputation, and she won't be next to her except for work, if it weren't for the second brother teaching me by hand, I would have been timid in front of people...

I forgot to mention that the reason why He Xianling happily agreed to marry was that he wanted to lean on the big tree of the Shen family, not just hug Shen Zhou's thigh. He is also from Songjiang Prefecture, but not in Huating County, but in Shanghai County. However, for the Shen family, the head of the Songjiang Fu family, He Xianling is also familiar.

Even if Shen Ling is only white, she is still a concubine, and her father is just a prisoner, but for the grassroots He County Order, whose parents are farmers, it is also the son of everyone, and it is much stronger than those who come out of small families, and they are worthy of their own son-in-law......
