[Chapter 63: The Yuanshan Incident, the Qingzhou Army Defeated]
It was dark as ink. The front hall of the annex of the Bohai Marquis Mansion was brightly lit.
When Shen Yuan arrived in the front hall, he found that the report of the subordinates was not complete, not only Shen Silan, Shen Fu, and Shen Chong had arrived, but even many shopkeepers in Busan and other places had already gathered here, and there were probably as many as twenty people under the careful count. They were all dressed in dark Hanfu, and those who were related to each other wore white scarves tied to their foreheads, while ordinary subordinates were anxious with white cloths around their waists, and their faces were a little anxious. These shopkeepers all arrived in Seoul a few days ago for the purpose of welcoming the coffin and attending the funeral.
"Little sister, what's the matter with bringing so many shopkeepers so late?" When Shen Yuan saw this situation, he was really worried that they had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Silan saw Shen Yuan, she stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, something is wrong!" ”
"What's wrong?" Shen Yuan asked with his heart.
"Our business in the counties around Qingchuan is all gone!"
"Gone? How could it be gone? As soon as Shen Yuan heard that they were not here to ask the guilt, his heart was slightly lowered, and he raised his hand to signal Shen Fu and Shen Chong to sit down, and he also sat firmly on the chair in the front hall, with a somewhat leisurely posture.
Shen Silan stomped her feet and said, "Oh, sister-in-law, why do you still look leisurely!" We have just received the news that the night before yesterday the Japanese invaders occupied the county seat of Qingchuan, the defenders of Yulin suffered heavy casualties, and the number of soldiers and horses brought by the county lieutenant is now less than 3,000, and they are retreating to Qingchuan Station, which is ten miles away from Qingchuan County. I'm afraid that the Japanese will be killed in Seoul in the future! ”
"What?" Shen Yuan's Huo Ran got up, and the expression on his face changed greatly, "How can this be?" Didn't the last news say that the Japanese had been controlled in the mountains around Qingchuan? How did it take only a few days to turn the world upside down? ”
Shen Yuan was anxious, and kept holding Shen Silan's hand and shaking. After all, she is just a family woman, and she doesn't go out of the door on weekdays, and the empire has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and this sword disaster has really not been encountered, so she panicked when she heard the news.
Shen Silan also said with an anxious face: "This soldier is fierce and dangerous, the battlefield changes only in an instant, and I don't know how the county lieutenant was defeated." Or the shopkeeper of Qingchuan County notified us with a flying pigeon, it is estimated that it will be earlier than the Lord Taishou, as soon as I got the news, I summoned all the shopkeepers, and came to the sister-in-law here to discuss countermeasures! ”
Shen Yuan's family was already shocked that the six gods were masterless, and hurriedly said: "I, I don't have any ideas, that, the two uncles and the little sister, do you have any plans to come up with?" ”
Shen Fu and Shen Chong, the two eldest members of the family, glanced at each other, but Shen Fu trembled his gray beard and said, "I'll wait until I can discuss something, I mean to ask Yuan Rang to come out, and let's sum it up again." After all, he is the heir of the family, and he still has to be in charge of such a big matter. ”
"Huh? He, what can he do?! Shen Yuan suddenly panicked. If these people see Shen Yun's drunken appearance, I am afraid that they will immediately disperse.
Shen Silan hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, don't you understand?" The Japanese are powerful, we must stop all the business of the Shen family first, and even take it back from the business in the main house. Then move the family to Liaozhou or simply go to Luoyang, and then we will come back after the imperial court sends troops to completely quell this Japanese rebellion, and then it will be time for us to raise our eyebrows! ”
"Moving?" Shen Yuan said hurriedly, "Then, what about the coffin of the husband?" Do you want to move somewhere else? Little sister, my husband has been worried about the country and the people all his life, can't he even enter the ancestral grave after death? ”
Shen Silan was stunned, yes, Shen Mu's coffin was still parked in the lobby of the main house, although there were spices in it to prevent the smell of corpses, but it had been delayed a lot of time to transport it back from Luoyang, and if he was not buried, would he have to watch him rot and stink? That's a big deal!
Shen Fu said: "But now that Qingchuan is defeated and the road is impassable, even if we want to go to Yuanshan, we can't go!" Niece and daughter-in-law, we are helpless to do anything about it......"
"Niece-in-law, it's useless for us to quarrel here, let's let Yuan Rang make the decision! By the way, what about Yuanrang? Shen Chong, who had been silent, suddenly turned his head and looked around, "Didn't he know that we were coming?" ”
Shen Yuan was stunned, and looked back at Shen Wu who was standing close to him, Shen Wu saw this and hurriedly said: "That, I'll call Shizi!" ”
At this time, Zhou Hui, who had been standing behind Shen Yuan, said: "Uncles and uncles, can you listen to the little girl?" ”
"Who are you?" Shen Silan's fierce gaze swept over. This woman Shen Silan had seen it before, and thought it was Shen Yuan's newly bought maid, but now after a closer look, she found that it was not. Don't say anything else, but the temperament on Zhou Hui will never be from a subordinate background.
Zhou Hui Yingying saluted everyone and said softly: "The little girl Zhou Hui is the daughter of the Ying Gong of the Han Dynasty!" ”
"Huh?!" Shen Yuan covered his mouth in surprise. The others were also taken aback, and Shen Fu and Shen Chong quickly got up from their seats and bowed respectfully towards Zhou Hui.
"The grass people have seen Princess Duanping!"
"The folk girl has seen Princess Duanping!"
……
Some people's reactions were half a beat slower, so it looked a little chaotic.
In the final analysis, these people are all merchants, and the Marquis of Bohai can only be hereditary by one person, and the other clansmen are all cloth clothes. They naturally knew that Zhou Hui was a royal family, but no one expected to see him here.
Shen Wu knew Zhou Hui's identity, but where did he have time to tell others? And Shen Yuan didn't know at all.
Zhou Hui didn't want to show his identity, but now he has no choice but to do so. She hurriedly returned the salute, then stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yuan's arm, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be formal, the little girl is Yuan Rangjun's classmate, and she came to Bohai to play this time, and she happened to encounter this incident, so I want to say a few words to everyone." ”
Shen Fu didn't dare to overstep the courtesy, although he straightened his body, he still hugged his fists and said, "Princess, please speak!" ”
Zhou Hui said: "Actually, you don't have to be so panicked. Even if you lose the thousands of men and horses of the county lieutenant Wu Shu, isn't there still a 5,000-strong Yulin army in Bohai Mansion? It's really not good, Lord Taishou will naturally urgently transfer troops from Nagashima, Shikoku and other places, so this Bohai Mansion will never suffer from military disasters......"
Shen Yuan's nervous face relaxed suddenly. But Shen Silan's face was difficult to look at, and said: "It will take half a month to transfer troops from Changdao, Shikoku, Pingtung, and Wading, how can we wait?" Besides," Shen Silan suddenly looked at Shen Yuan's family, "There is still half of my brother's business that Yuan Rang can't inherit!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Hui immediately understood. It turned out that what Shen Silan was worried about was not the safety of Bohai Mansion, but the business controlled by Mrs. Bohai Hou......
Infighting is the instinct of the Han people. Even at this moment, Shen Silan still remembers the family business that Xiao Qin has mastered, and I really don't know whether to say that she is brilliant or short-sighted.
Shen Yuan sighed lightly: "Since the city is worry-free, then let's go as usual!" Little sister, there are some things that are in a hurry. The husband's bones are not cold, and the family affairs are still put later! She couldn't help but wink at Shen Silan, the meaning was very clear, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and now that the daughter of the British prince is here, those infighting things are still put aside.
Shen Silan's face was anxious, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to sigh and be silent.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan said: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has worked hard, it is not early, everyone should go back to rest early, as for the business in Qingchuan County, our Shen family has also lost, the key is that people must be fine." Inform me that if the widows are strong, they will temporarily close the business! ”
Shen Silan said in a low voice: "We closed the business, but the one in the main house doesn't think so!" ”
Shen Yuan didn't hear it, and continued to smile: "Shen Wu, take all the shopkeepers out, and watch your feet when it's dark!" ”
"Yes, ma'am!" Shen Wu hurriedly took those shopkeepers out of the front hall one after another.
After those shopkeepers left, the more Shen Silan thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and she stomped her feet and ran to the back room: "No, I'll go find Yuan Rang!" ”
"Huh!" Shen Yuan was shocked, and just wanted to stop it, but his feet were weak and he almost fell, but Zhou Hui urgently held him. When she stood firm again, Shen Silan had already rushed to the backyard.
Shen Fu said: "Niece and daughter-in-law, let Silan ask Yuan Rang." He still has to be in charge of this family! Alas, we are all old, if it is not for the fact that we have to move, why would we want to move the nest? If we really want to move the family, we can't move this old bone, so let's stay here and watch over your home! Niece and daughter-in-law can rest assured, we still have some weight in the old bones, and we don't dare to say anything else, it's still okay to help the Shen family keep this family business......"
Shen Fu was hinting inside and out that the Shen Yuan clan agreed to Shen Silan's suggestion, and took this opportunity to get Shen Yun to agree to the relocation of the clan, and when the time came, Xiao Qin would be removed, and the old bones they left behind would be able to get all the Shen family's business back. But now, how could Shen Yuan be in the mood to listen to Shen Fu's nagging, tiptoeing, looking anxiously at the backyard, but the elder was talking here, and she couldn't go away, so she could only keep rubbing her hands and nodding her head indiscriminately.
Zhou Hui suddenly said lightly: "Madam, I'll lead the way!" ”
After that, he ran after Shen Silan. Shen Yuan couldn't help but sigh that Zhou Hui was a girl with a quick mind and a good wit.

Shen Silan's legs and feet were not slow, and Zhou Hui was also very fast, and she followed her to the door of Shen Yun's bedroom. The door was closed, and the light inside was bright, and there were two figures that shook from time to time on the windowsill.
Shen Silan glanced at Zhou Hui who was following closely, and then reached out and pushed ......
"Huh? How did you lock it? Shen Silan suddenly banged on the door vigorously and shouted, "Yuan Rang, it's my aunt, open the door quickly!" Who is the one who serves inside? Hurry up and open the door! ”
Zhou Hui suddenly thought that Ye Jaxuan and Yan Ruyue were both inside, and as soon as he mentioned it in his heart, he also rushed over and knocked on the door vigorously, shouting in his mouth: "Sister Yan, open the door quickly!" ”
But after knocking for a long time, there was no movement inside, only a black shadow on the windowsill that shook more frequently, and there was a rustling sound inside.
Shen Silan's face sank, and she said to Zhou Huinu: "Get out of the way!" ”
Zhou Hui didn't know why she flashed to the side, and Shen Silan had already lifted her skirt and kicked the door violently......
With a "bang", the sturdy pear wood gate was kicked open. Zhou Hui was stunned next to him, and said secretly, does this Shen family know kung fu? I'm afraid the strength of this kick is hundreds of pounds!
Shen Silan kicked open the door, then rushed in angrily, and suddenly let out a scream. Zhou Hui mentioned it again in his heart, followed closely in, and suddenly screamed when he saw the scene inside.
"Ahh Kill, kill!! The two women screamed in unison, and the duo soprano pierced the night sky, alarming the entire Hou Mansion.
The messy room was full of broken utensils, tables and chairs were also sparse, and there was a pool of blood in front of the brocade tent bed, Shen Yun and Yan Ruyue were struggling to get up from the bloodstains, but they repeatedly failed.
Ye Ja Hyun is nowhere to be found......
