Chapter 32 Leave and Return Home
After deciding on this matter, all the ministers dispersed one after another, and only Shen Chongming and Liu Shou were left with two courtiers in the Nuoda Heart Cultivation Palace. Bayi Chinese ???.? 8?1 z??.? c om
"Shen Aiqing, has the disease ever been cured?" Emperor Longqing asked with a smile, he is really a lucky general, this exit has pointed out a way for the imperial court to solve a big problem.
Shen Chongming hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Emperor Xie cares, Weichen's illness is all cured." If you hadn't sent the imperial doctor to treat the ministers, I am afraid that the ministers would never have the opportunity to serve the court again. Speaking of this, Shen Chongming also sighed, he was absolutely lucky, he actually let himself meet Li Shizhen, the person who can compile a "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is really extraordinary, if it weren't for him, he would really go back to accompany him, he must find an opportunity to thank him.
"Hehe, hurry up. Aiqing is a pillar of the imperial court and a proud disciple of Mr. Gao, so it is also appropriate to send a doctor to treat you. Emperor Longqing smiled, and then instructed earnestly: "Aiqing, you have to pay more attention to your body in the future, no matter how busy you are with official business, you can't ignore your body, I still want you to make more contributions to the imperial court." ”
Shen Chongming, who had just stood up, could only kneel down again when he heard this, "Thank the emperor for his love, and he is not talented, but I am willing to serve his family and country with a loyal heart and repay the emperor's kindness." ”
"Well, get up." Emperor Longqing nodded with satisfaction, such a talent is what he needs, without loyalty, even if he is able to stand out, he will not be used.
After reporting the disaster relief in Henan in detail, and looking at Emperor Longqing's satisfied face, Shen Chongming said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the affairs of Henan Weichen have all been arranged, and there are no other errands at the moment, Weichen wants to take this opportunity to return to his hometown for a while." ”
"Oh, that's why, I still want to send you to the cabinet to preside over the reform of the military system." Emperor Longqing was a little puzzled.
"Back to the emperor, Wechen has long passed the age of marriage, and my father has written several times urging Wechen to return to his hometown to complete the marriage. Unfilial piety is great, so Weichen wants to take advantage of this free time to go home to complete the marriage, and ask the emperor to fulfill it. Shen Chongming said with a humble face.
Emperor Longqing nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, I don't know which daughter the other party is?" "Shen Chongming is still unmarried, and Emperor Longqing has heard about it, and he was originally thinking about designating a marriage for him, you must know that this is also the importance of meritorious officials, and it is a great honor for the emperor to give marriage.
"This ...... Don't hide it from the emperor, one of them is the daughter of a Shibo of Weichen, and the other three have their own ways, and they are all confidants of Weichen. Shen Chongming already knew that he couldn't hide anything from the emperor, so he simply said it, according to rumors, the emperor is also a fellow believer, presumably he won't mind.
Emperor Longqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud without any image, gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, it seems that Aiqing, you are really capable." Since you are married, I can't say nothing, haven't you been living in a small courtyard on Yamen Street, and when you return to Beijing after you get married, I will give you a big mansion. ”
Waiting for this sentence, Shen Chongming did not shirk, and immediately knelt down to thank him: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”
"In addition, the main wife gives the third grade of the wife, and the other three are all the fifth grade, how about it?" Long Qing said with a smile, maybe you don't have much money on hand, but you want as much as you want, as long as you dare to marry, I dare to give it.
"Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie." Shen Chongming also smiled from ear to ear, grace.
"Well, don't worry about going back, you will be allowed to return to Beijing in February after the new year." Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said, he is also impatient, he just selected a beautiful palace maid yesterday, go back and cultivate a good relationship.
"Brother Shen, Holy Lady Rilong." Out of the palace gate, Liu Shouyou said with a smile on his face. "Hehe, Brother Liu has won the award, the emperor loves the little brother, it seems that the little brother can only die for his old man."
"Hehe, that's right, this is your duty and I as courtiers, and you can't forget anything about it." Liu Shou deliberately pointed out and often beat the side drum, which was more conducive to his growth.
Nodding solemnly, Shen Chongming hugged his fists and said, "Well, the eldest brother's words have been written down by the younger brother, and he will never forget them." ”
Back at the Four Seas Martial Arts Hall, it was already lunchtime.
Seeing that his family gradually settled down, Xiong Dabiao also hurriedly ran back to the barracks on an errand, he was already the commander of the 3,000 battalions from Sanpin. Although it seems to be a chicken-like position, just like Shen Chongming back then, he is also a pivotal figure in the 3,000 battalions. He is a strong martial artist, and he is also responsible for the heavy responsibility of training soldiers, and he has the great merit of saving the driver regardless of his life, and he is even more valued by the commander of the 3,000 battalions. According to Shen Chongming's information, this guy is already the commander of the 3,000 battalions, and what he lacks is time qualifications.
So only Yan Yumeng, Little Senior Sister and Xiao Qing sat at the dinner table and waited for him. Seeing Shen Chongming walk in, Yan Yumeng, like a virtuous wife, immediately got up and helped Shen Chongming remove his coat.
"Hehe, I'll tell you a good news, the emperor has allowed me to return to my hometown, and I can return to Beijing in February after the new year." Yan Yumeng, who was about to put down Shen Chongming's hat, was stunned, and his face was full of excitement.
"Ah, so we're going to get married?" The little junior sister said with surprise on her face, she has been waiting for a long time this day, Daddy and mother...... Suddenly stunned, the little sister's eyes were red, and she stood there silently crying, but it was a pity that her father and mother were gone, if they could see that they were married, they would be happy.
Knowing that the little junior sister remembered the deceased Zheng Sihai and his wife again, Shen Chongming sighed, took a few steps forward and sat beside her and said softly: "Little junior sister, be happy, uncle and aunt will definitely not be happy to see you depressed all day long." As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe away tears for her.
"Little Shenzi, people can't marry you, I want to keep filial piety for my father and mother for three years." The little junior sister said with tears in her eyes, her younger brother is gone, and this filial piety can only be borne by herself as a daughter.
Shen Chongming was stunned for a moment, and looked at the little junior sister with puzzlement, "Why do you have to keep filial piety for three years?" He has never heard of this truth, according to his own thoughts, his parents died in the family, and he should be able to get married after the New Year.
"Son, you must be filial to your children, Uncle Zheng only has a daughter, Sister Xu'er, and this matter of filial piety can only be undertaken by her." Yan Yumeng said helplessly.
"That's right." Shen Chongming was full of sorrow, how is this good, he can't leave her alone because he is married.
"Xiao Shenzi, will you marry someone else in three years?" The little junior sister said pitifully, and she was really worried that she would become an old girl in three years, who else would want it?
"Yes, of course it will, let alone three years, even thirty years I will wait." Shen Chongming replied without thinking, and almost swore to heaven.
The little junior sister's tears flowed down again, regardless of the presence of the other two, she hugged Shen Chongming and buried it in his arms, "Little Shenzi, you are so good." ”
Shen Chongming smiled bitterly, full of distress for her. Three years has really hurt her. After a pause, he smiled and said: "Don't cry, whether you get married or not, you have to follow me back to Shaoxing this time, and take this opportunity to let your father and mother meet you, they will definitely like you." ”
"Well, people listen to you." The little junior sister said softly, her face flushed, but she was very shy.
decided on this matter, Shen Chongming didn't wait much, after eating, he took a few people to the street to shop, and finally returned to his hometown once, and he must bring more souvenirs to his father and mother.
Then he went to the compound of Guangxuan, and instructed Xiao Pengcheng to arrange boats, carriages and horses to send the second daughter to Shaoxing first, and he had to go to Henan to pick up Zhao Ziqian. And I have to think of a good excuse for everyone to accept Zhao Ziqian, so as not to have a conflict when we meet, which is not good.
"Ah, little Shenzi, don't you go to Shaoxing with us?" As soon as the little junior sister heard Shen Chongming instruct Xiao Pengcheng to let him send someone to escort the two back to Shaoxing first, she immediately pouted.
"Hehe, there are still some things to deal with in Henan, I have to take a detour. The two of you just want to take a boat south and wait for me when you get to Shaoxing. Shen Chongming explained with a smile. Xiao Pengcheng on the side saw him like this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't hold back a smile.
Based on his understanding of Brother Shen, he definitely didn't go to Henan for any errand, and it is very likely that Henan still thought that his sister-in-law was waiting.
The little junior sister really didn't know, and when she heard that he had official business, she could only nod and say, "Okay, then you have to hurry back to Shaoxing, people are not used to staying alone." ”
"Well, I made a note of it." Shen Chongming is very obedient to her, for fear of being wronged, no matter what, he has to take good care of her, so as not to be sad again.
"Brother Shen, how is Henan's sister-in-law doing?" Xiao Pengcheng asked softly. "Well, that's good...... Well? Pengcheng, how do you say this? Shen Chongming, who reacted, looked at him with a stunned face, how did this kid know.
"Hehe, Brother Shen, you don't want to hide it from me, if your little brother doesn't know this little bit of thought, can we still be brothers?"
Shen Chongming laughed dryly, lowered his voice and threatened: "Tell you, this matter is kept secret for the time being, and no one can tell you, understand?" ”
"Hehe, Brother Shen rest assured, the little brother still knows this truth." Xiao Pengcheng patted his chest and reassured.
"What are you muttering to Shen Gongzi?" The two got carried away, but they didn't notice Xiaoqing walking closer.
At this time, she opened her mouth to ask, and couldn't help but be startled, but fortunately, Xiao Pengcheng was used to lying, and opened his mouth and said: "Oh, I told Brother Shen to rest assured, this time I, Xiao Ershao, personally escorted you to Shaoxing, and ensured safety all the way." ”
Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, she was originally depressed because she was going to leave Xiao Pengcheng, but when she heard him say that he was going to Shaoxing, she was immediately surprised: "Really? ”
"Seriously, when did I lie to you." Xiao Pengcheng said with a serious face, this expression even Shen Chongming couldn't see a flaw.
Xiaoqing nodded with joy on her face, "Well, I'm relieved to have you in others." As soon as the words came out, he realized that Shen Chongming was still by his side, his cheeks instantly turned red, and he hurriedly turned around and ran back to Yan Yumeng's side.
"Hehehe, Peng Cheng, you dare to lie to her, don't you know that Xiaoqing likes to beat people?" Xiao Shen Chongming looked at Xiao Pengcheng with a happy face on his face.
Xiao Pengcheng was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "Brother Shen, how did you say this, when did the younger brother lie to her." ”
