Chapter 38 Wu Xing Shen Clan
Chuchen led Mrs. You into the living room and sat down, and a maid served tea to the two, and Chuchen asked, "Is there anything important for my aunt to find me?" ”
Mrs. You was a little hesitant and didn't know how to speak, and after a while, she said in a hurry: "Out of the dust, do you remember the eldest uncle of the Shen family?" ”
Mrs. You said that the eldest uncle of the Shen family refers to Shen Bai, the head of the Shen family, thinking of this person, the face of the dust immediately gloomy, twenty years ago she and her mother had no way out, had to return to the old house of the Shen family in Wuxing, when the grandfather Shen Xuanhui was defeated and killed, several brothers of the mother were implicated and sent to Dunhuang County, the large field house left by the grandfather was occupied by Shen Bai and several sons, their mother and daughter could only live in the human room, and suffered from the white eyes, if it were not for the help of the aunt and grandmother, I am afraid that they would be driven out of the ancestral house by the Shen family, This period of the past has been engraved in Chuchen's heart, making her unforgettable.
"Why did my aunt mention him?"
Mrs. You sighed and said, "He also came to Taiyuan and found your uncle, and he wants to see you." ”
"See me?"
Izuchen sneered, "What did he do when he saw me, my surname is Zhang, his surname is Shen, what do I have to do with him?" ”
Mrs. You also knew that it was not that Chuchen didn't recognize the Shen family, but that Chuchen was haunted by the past twenty years ago, and Chuchen had told her that Mrs. You smiled bitterly and said, "He came to apologize to you." ”
At this moment, a maid came from outside the door, "The master is here!" ”
This is Yang Yuanqing coming, Mrs. You stood up in fright, what can I do? Chuchen smiled and waved his hand, "Auntie is not an outsider, don't worry so much." ”
As he spoke, Yang Yuanqing had already walked in quickly, and although he was specially asked to sleep in the study, he couldn't sleep. He thought of his youngest son, so he went all the way to the dusty courtyard.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a middle-aged lady standing in the living room. Startled him, the first thought was that the aunt was here, but then he didn't, he seemed to know this noblewoman, she was Shen Xing's mother, and she was also the wife of Shen Jundao, the servant of the Criminal Department.
Mrs. You stepped forward and bowed to Yang Yuanqing, "See Manager Yang!" ”
"Madame doesn't have to be polite!"
Yang Yuanqing said to Chuchen a little apologetically: "You have a guest, then I'll come back later." ”
Mrs. You reacted very quickly, it was better to let Yang Yuanqing hear about the Shen family's affairs, and maybe she could break the deadlock. She saw that Yang Yuanqing was leaving. smiled and said: "Actually, I don't have anything to do, it's just that the head of the Shen family wants to see the dust....."
Sure enough, Yang Yuanqing's footsteps stopped, his eyes showed strong interest, and he turned around and asked, "Is it the Shen family in Jiangnan?" ”
"Exactly. Chuchen's eldest uncle, that is, Shen Bai, the head of the Shen family, brought a few children to participate in the imperial examination, and he also wanted to apologize to Chuchen for what happened back then. ”
The Wuxing Shen clan was one of several famous families in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yang Yuanqing was of course interested, so he laughed, "This is a good thing!" Out of the dust, when are you going to meet him? ”
Izuchen said with a cold face: "I don't want to see this person at all." ”
Mrs. You saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and she had already brought her words, so there was no need for her to stay. Then he got up and said with a smile: "There is nothing else, then I will leave first, come out of the dust, and if there is anything, you can directly find me." ”
Although Chuchen was dissatisfied with the Shen family, she had a good relationship with Mrs. You, and she personally sent Mrs. You out of the mansion. Yang Yuanqing didn't leave, waiting for his wife to come back, he was very interested in this Shen family, the head of the family actually came to Taiyuan, at this time, his daughter Yang Bing rushed in, "Daddy! ”
She threw herself into her father's arms like a bird, Yang Yuanqing loved this baby daughter the most, he never forgot that his daughter was naughty when she was a child and climbed to his neck, and now she has grown so tall in a blink of an eye, Yang Yuanqing pulled her daughter's ring braid and smiled: "Little girl, it seems that she has grown taller again, compare with her father." ”
"Hmm!" Yang Bing jumped up and stood opposite his father, Yang Yuanqing compared the top of her head with the palm of his hand, and it actually reached his lips, he was a little stunned, he only grabbed his throat two months ago, how did he grow so tall in a blink of an eye, at a glance, he found that his daughter was actually tiptoeing, he laughed, bent his index finger and scraped it on her nose, "You little Laipi!" ”
Yang Bing grinned, his heels were lowered, and he was still only in Yang Yuanqing's throat, "I said it!" My Bing'er actually wore high heels. ”
"Daddy, what are high heels?" Yang Bing asked curiously.
"It's just.... The sole is thick. ”
Yang Yuanqing used his fingers to compare the thickness of two inches, "It's about so thick, wearing such thick-soled shoes, it makes people very tall." ”
"That Bing'er also has to make a pair and grow up early."
Yang Yuanqing tapped lightly on the tip of his daughter's little nose, and asked with a smile: "What are you going to do when you grow up early, do you want to find a wishful husband?" ”
"Daddy!"
Yang Bing stomped his foot, reached out and pinched Yang Yuanqing's arm, "Don't let Daddy talk nonsense!" ”
Yang Yuanqing saw that his daughter was in a hurry, and hurriedly raised his hand to surrender to her, "Okay! Good! Daddy doesn't talk nonsense. ”
He hugged his daughter in his arms and asked her again, "Have you seen Princess Danyang?" You used to play in the snow with her when you were a kid, don't you remember? ”
"Daddy!"
Yang Bing blinked and smiled: "Can I still remember the two-year-old thing?" ”
Yang Yuanqing laughed, "It's Daddy who is confused, but she is only three years older than you, you can go to play with her, read books together, embroider and so on." ”
"But... What should I call her? Call her a princess, or an aunt? Yang Bing's face was a little embarrassed, this question made her distressed for an hour.
"Call Auntie! She is your Sanniang's sister. ”
At this time, when I sent Mrs. You back, she saw her daughter coquettish in her father's arms, and laughed knowingly, this is the scene she is most willing to see, her husband's love for her daughter.
"Bing'er, have you done your homework?"
Yang Bing stuck out his tongue and said, "Not yet!" I heard that Daddy was coming, so I came and ran to find Daddy. ”
Yang Yuanqing patted the back of her head lovingly, "Go ahead!" After finishing your homework, your father watched you write at night, and your mother said that your handwriting was very good. ”
"I'll go first!" Yang Bing jumped up and walked out quickly.
Yang Yuanqing looked at his daughter's lovely back and couldn't help laughing.
"Yuanqing, what are you laughing at?" Izuku sat down and asked him.
"I always thought that my daughter had grown into a big girl, but now I suddenly realized that she is actually still a child."
"She was meant to be a child. It's just a little taller, but when I was her age. I don't bounce anymore when I walk. ”
"Hmmm! You'll already be holding my hand then. Yang Yuanqing smiled with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"Didn't I hold your hand since I was a child?"
Chuchen suddenly reacted to the ridicule in her husband's tone, she was angry and anxious, and reached out and knocked on his head, "You dead bull head, you're laughing at me again!" ”
The dust movement was extremely fast, but Yang Yuanqing flashed slightly, and she knocked on the air.
Chuchen was suddenly deflated, she used to knock Yuan Qing's head, but Yuan Qing never could dodge, and she hit a hundred times. Can ..... now She sighed softly. I am in comfort, and my skills are not as good as before.
"Do you still want to be a JAC woman?" Yang Yuanqing understood his wife's sigh.
Izuchen shook his head, and sighed again: "In the first ten years, a daughter tied me up, and in the last ten years, a son tied me up, and now there is a princess's rope." Have you ever heard of a princess woman? Out of the dust gave him a blank look.
Yang Yuanqing smiled and turned the topic back, "Let me ask you, are you still angry with the Wuxing Shen family?" ”
Chuchen understood her husband's thoughts, and wanted to win over the Wuxing Shen family, she said without hesitation: "You can say that I am narrow-minded, or you can say that I don't care about the overall situation, but I just can't forget the humiliation of the Shen family to me and my mother back then, of course." If you must meet the Wuxing Shen family, I will not stop you, but I will definitely not meet them, let alone admit that they are my so-called 'maiden family', Yuanqing, please understand my feelings. ”
Yang Yuanqing knew that Chuchen was resolute in his heart. The grievances are clear, if she hates a person, she will not forgive her for the rest of her life, if she wants to persuade her to recognize Wu Xing Shen as her mother's family, I am afraid that she really can't do it.
Helpless, he had to ask again: "What if the Shen family in Dunhuang returns to Wuxing?" ”
Out of the dust silently, the Shen family in Dunhuang was her own uncle, but she couldn't help but admit it, for a while, she sighed, "Yuanqing, let's not talk about this matter for the time being, okay?" ”
.......
Mrs. You returned to her house, her house is located in the south of the city, covering an area of about ten acres, this is the residence that Yang Yuanqing rewarded her son Shen Guang, Shen Guang spent most of his time in the army, only the old couple lived together, Shen Guang had been married in Jiangdu City, his wife and children were in Danyang County, and he had not come over for the time being.
Her husband Shen Jundao was originally a servant of the Chen Dynasty, and after the fall of the Chen Dynasty, he was escorted to Chang'an to settle down, and later became a bachelor of the crown prince Yang Yong, and then became the palace of Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, after the failure of Yang Liang's rebellion, Shen Jundao was completely removed from the officialdom.
Shen Jundao came to Taiyuan from Chang'an more than two months ago, and was appointed by Yang Yuanqing as a waiter in the Criminal Department, he was nearly sixty years old before re-entering the official career, Shen Jundao cherished this position very much, and also worked very hard, he has been busy revising the law of opening the emperor during this time, and removed a lot of harsh laws, which has won the praise of Ziwei Pavilion.
At this time, Shen Jundao was at home accompanying his brother Shen Bai from Jiangnan, who was also the current head of the Shen family.
Shen Bai is more than sixty years old, thin and severe, like all families, the Shen family is also looking for the future of the family, although the West Liang Xiao Mill sent people to invite the children of the Shen family to go to the Liang Dynasty several times, but they were all rejected by Shen Bai, he knew in his heart that with the foundation of the Sui Dynasty to unify the world, the south would be unified by the north sooner or later, and the Liang Dynasty would not last for many years.
His eyes fell on the three orthodox regimes in the north, although the Tang Dynasty was strong, with the full support of the Long nobles, but the Guanlong nobles were also very repulsive to the Jiangnan Shi clan, which their Shen family was deeply aware of, and Luoyang Nansui couldn't even solve the problem of food, although it was called orthodoxy, it was a long time to survive, and it was difficult to last long.
His eyes finally locked on Taiyuan in Northern Sui, the Shen family mixed well in this court, there are Shen Jundao father and son, or Yang Yuanqing's henchman Shen Chun, and more importantly, Yang Yuanqing's side concubine is the granddaughter of the Shen family, which means that the Shen family may be able to take the shortcut of relatives.
Shen Bai thought about it for a long time, and happened to hear that the Northern Sui was preparing to hold the imperial examination, so he made up his mind and brought several of the best young children of the Shen family to Taiyuan to participate in the autumn examination.
Shen Bai was talking to his brother Shen Jundao, and the housekeeper reported outside the door, "Master, Madam is back." ”
Shen Bai and Shen Jundao's spirits lifted at the same time.
