Chapter 2: Who Can Be Worse Than Me?
Because of the regent's previous words, as soon as the regent left, the guests who came to the Yongxing Marquis Mansion to mourn were less than half.
For a moment, the entire mourning hall seemed lonely and cold.
It was easy to get through this day, Shen Yuntang took the cheap father's tablet into the Shen family ancestral hall to settle down, and when she had time to go back to her room to rest, it was already the second half of the night.
She couldn't wait for Wing Chun and Pak Mui to help her take off her clothes, so she collapsed on the bed tired, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her fingers.
Under the dim light, Bai Mei looked at her face and said distressedly: "The prince should change his clothes and then sleep." ”
Shen Yuntang said too much about "ushering in the send" today, her voice was already hoarse, she waved her hand towards Wing Chun Baimei, "Come and call me again tomorrow morning." ”
Wing Chun Baimei glanced at each other, nodded, and left only a dim hexagonal palace lamp, and retreated lightly.
Shen Yuntang stared at the top of the plain white tent for a while, and his eyes fell on this room again.
The place where she lives now is divided into inner and outer rooms, one bright and one dark, the dark place is the bedroom, the back of the bedroom is the clean room, the bright room is a small study, and the outside is the flower hall for hospitality and daily rest, there is a side hall next to the flower hall, and the other side of the side hall is Hugxia, and there is a larger study over there.
In the entire Yongxing Hou Mansion, the courtyard where she lives is the best courtyard in addition to "Fushoutang" and "Shi'an Garden".
And the layout of this courtyard does not have the slightest breath of a daughter's house, it is completely a man's residence.
She sighed inwardly.
Shen Yuntang, Shen Yuntang, you have made me miserable!
The original owner dressed as a man, except for the lack of a handful under him, he should have been raised according to the man.
As the little prince of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, the original body has understood the burden on his body since he was a child, studied hard, and never dared to relax.
His father, Marquis Yongxing, was in charge of the Yushitai, which was not a trivial job, but he did not relax at all, and he had just reached middle age, and he had a sickness.
Xu has his father and must have his "son", Shen Yuntang is also a desperate third "lang", he has never regarded himself as a woman since he was a child, and he is more powerful than his father.
Yongxinghou's lone seedling was "out of breath" for a while, Yongxinghou was stimulated, several illnesses broke out, and he died......
When the little son comes back to life, he will have no father.
It's miserable.
Shen Yuntang wiped his face, and his mood was indescribably entangled.
At first, she thought it was miserable enough, but it was even more miserable later.
Xu was still fresh when she took over this body, she inherited all the memories of the original body, and instantly clearly understood the situation of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion.
The old Yongxinghou and the old lady are still alive, but they are not in good health, and the "grandson" son has had accidents one after another, and the two old men are sick in bed.
Yongxing Hou Zu is the founding merit of the Great Yan Dynasty, the title was awarded by Emperor Taizu himself, with the Danshu iron coupon, Emperor Taizu gave the Shen family the honor of not degrading.
When Emperor Wen was there, the old marquis was Emperor Wen's humerus minister and confidant, at that time, the old marquis was sitting in the position of the imperial history, in charge of the imperial history platform, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, even if it was the cabinet minister and the head of the six departments, Shangshu Ling had to give him three points.
Because of Emperor Wen's trust in the old marquis, he personally issued a holy decree before his death, and the official position of the Shen family's imperial doctor was hereditary for three generations.
As soon as this holy decree came out, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, starting from Dayan, there has never been a hereditary provision for high-ranking officials, but Emperor Wen ignored the ancestral teachings and issued this holy decree.
Although the ministers objected, the emperor who made the holy decree has already died, and this holy decree can be regarded as an edict.
The deceased is the greatest, and the deceased is still the son of Dayan.
This holy decree, which should not have been accepted, was forced to be accepted by the officials.
It is precisely because of this holy decree that the Yongxing Marquis Mansion was squeezed to the forefront and became the target of everyone!
The eyes of the hundred officials and even the new emperor were staring at the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, and the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, which had no male heirs for a long time, made this decision and chose Shen Yuntang as the eldest grandson......
I wanted to wait for Mrs. Yongxing Hou to give birth to a male heir and then think of changing it, but who knew that the cheap father was so ineffective, Mrs. Yongxing Hou was pregnant five times, and all of them were female babies......
After giving birth to the last child, Mrs. Yongxing Hou was burned down because of successive pregnancies, and Yongxing Hou went first.
Cheap dad is a lover, after the death of the lady, he didn't want to marry again, so to say, the old lady arranged a room for him, and finally had sex with him two years later, and the one who was born was still a girl......
This seems to have been arranged by God, after this time, the old marquis and his wife also accepted their fate, no longer persecuted their son, and at the same time concentrated on cultivating Shen Yuntang, the false eldest grandson.
Now the Yongxing Hou Mansion is either a frail old man of ancient age, or a weak and slender woman, and even the only one who can stand up to the door is still a fake trick to fish in troubled waters.
If it's just like this, the key is that there is still a regent outside, wouldn't the cheap father just give this tiger a chance to go down the mountain, so that he can solve this Yongxing Marquis Mansion in one fell swoop?
She is not really a rich and scheming Shen Yuntang, she is just an ordinary person.
Without the ability to mediate in the center of power, she has learned the Regent's eagle-sharp eyes today, and she has retreated.
People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, although Shen Yuntang came to this Great Yan Dynasty inexplicably, and also occupied the body of "Yongxing Hou Shizi", but in fact it has nothing to do with Yongxing Houfu, she is not a virgin, she is not so high-minded, and she resists the wind and rain for the entire Hou Mansion with her own body.
No matter what, life is precious, and she must at least keep her life out of danger.
For her, that's the number one priority.
It doesn't matter if she is selfish or irresponsible, no matter how bad and dangerous the situation in the Yongxing Hou Mansion is, for her, the Yongxing Hou Mansion is a stranger from the old to the young.
Shen Yuntang never trusts her, she is self-aware.
If you don't have that diamond, don't take that porcelain job, she knows that she doesn't have the ability to be a doctor of the imperial history, and she wants to hand over the imperial history platform to her, and the entire Yongxing Hou Mansion is poured blood mold!
Although his body was tired, Shen Yuntang's spirit was tense.
She lay on the spacious bed like a baked cake, tossing and turning, and when the sky was dark, she gritted her teeth and made a decision, she must flee thousands of miles before the title and official title inherit the holy decree.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Shen Yuntang was gently woken up by Baimei.
He opened his eyes dimly, stretched out his hand and was about to touch the alarm clock next to the bed, and caught a glimpse of Bai Mei, who was dressed in green cloth and armor, and Shen Yuntang's only little sleepiness was frightened.
Bai Mei looked at her abnormal reaction, her brows furrowed, and she reached out and touched Shen Yuntang's forehead, "Lord Shizi, but it's uncomfortable?" ”
Shen Yuntang hurriedly shook his head.
Remembering that the first thing Shen Yuntang did when she got up every day was to go to Fushoutang to say goodbye, so she waved Bai Mei to find clean clothes to change into, and she went to the clean room behind the bedroom to wash.
Fortunately, she is independent in modern times, as long as she pays attention, there is not much difference from Shen Yuntang's words and actions in the past.
At this time, it was late autumn, and the outside of the hospital was already golden, and this body was weak and thin, so he wore more clothes than ordinary people.
The cotton cloth that bound the chest was wrapped with the help of Baimei, and when it was opened, Shen Yuntang didn't even look at it, a seventeen-year-old girl, her chest was only slightly raised, and she looked down from her chest, and she could see the belly at a glance......
A special soft leather cuirass was worn over the corset, followed by an undergarment, a midcoat, and an outer robe.
After dressing up, Shen Yuntang raised his hand and touched his chest, suspecting that he was a man......
After she was dressed up and deliberately painted thick eyebrows, Wing Chun entered the bedroom with a carved wooden tray.
Not long after, a bowl of black medicinal juice was placed in front of Shen Yuntang.
Shen Yuntang stared at the medicinal juice in front of him, knowing that he couldn't hide it, he picked it up and drank it clean as soon as he closed his eyes.
This is not a good medicine for diseases, but a secret recipe that the Shen family has tried every possible means to find from southern Xinjiang, specifically to delay the development of the girl's body, otherwise Shen Yuntang is so old, it is impossible for the hill on his chest to not grow, and the kuishui has not arrived. This remedy also has a use, which is to make the girl's throat hoarse.
Although the medicine of Fangzi itself is not toxic, it is always harmful to the body when taken for a long time, but the Shen family, who is walking on thin ice, has long been unable to care about so much.
This is also one of the reasons why Shen Yuntang's health is extremely poor at a young age.
Bai Mei hurriedly picked up a candied date and stuffed it into Shen Yuntang's mouth.
Waiting for the sweet fragrance of dates to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth, Shen Yuntang took a deep breath, stood up, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Let's go." ”
The current mansion of the Marquis of Yongxing was handed down from the time of Emperor Taizu.
The location and mansion are all superior, but after so many years, they have never been completely renovated, which is generally not as good as the mansion of the ordinary noble family.
Over the past hundred years, the people of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion have been declining more and more.
The Hou Mansion is very large, but there are few masters, and the old Yongxing Marquis is an honest official, in order to save expenses, the masters of the Hou Mansion are concentrated in the East Cross Courtyard.
Shen Yuntang remembered the "Howling Wind Residence" where he lived, and the white lanterns in the Manchu Mansion had not been removed, swaying with the bleak autumn wind blowing on his face. Early in the morning, I could only see one or two servants sweeping the leaves on the roadside.
Walking to a corner pavilion, Shen Yuntang suddenly stopped.
I saw an eight- or nine-year-old girl at the gate of the small courtyard not far away, sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard with a big broom.
The small mouth pursed slightly, and his face was full of seriousness.
Not long after, a woman in her twenties with simple clothes walked out of the main room in the courtyard, squatted down and was about to stop the girl, but before she could speak, she was coughing continuously.
The girl panicked, hurriedly threw away the broom, and gently patted the woman's back.
Shen Yuntang searched around in his memory, and he didn't match these two people, but he didn't look like a subordinate in the Hou Mansion.
She turned her gaze back to Bai Mei beside her.
Seeing that her eyes were full of doubts, Bai Mei explained softly: "Lord Shizi, this is Aunt Han and Fifth Miss. ”
