Chapter 99: Respective Positions
Shen Mingqing got out of the car outside the side gate of Zhou's house, followed the mother-in-law who was waiting outside the side door, and entered Fu Wanniang's small courtyard from the back garden.
"What's wrong?" Fu Wanniang waited at the gate of the courtyard, greeted Shen Mingqing, and stretched out her hand to take off the black gauze hat for Shen Mingqing.
"Yikes!" Looking at Shen Mingqing's pale face under the hood, Fu Wanniang was startled, "What's the matter?" ”
"Let's go in and talk about it." Shen Mingqing's voice was low.
"I'm in a hurry." Fu Wanniang apologized, let Shen Mingqing enter the upper room, and told the girl to take the soup and let the kitchen make snacks
"What's wrong with you?" Fu Wanniang took a bowl of heart-nourishing soup and handed it to Shen Mingqing, and sat down next to her.
"I didn't sleep all night." Shen Mingqing lowered his eyes and sipped the soup.
Fu Wanniang frowned, looked at her distressedly, and waited for her to speak.
"Yesterday." Shen Mingqing lowered his eyes and drank half a bowl of soup, "Daddy and Grandma...... First of all, the wife said, let me take away those useless thoughts, saying that the mother was already angry, and said......"
Shen Mingqing's throat choked.
"Let you marry the second master?" Fu Wanniang asked clearly.
Shen Mingqing nodded, "Daddy is very angry, saying that I ignore the life and death of my father and brother, ignoring the Shen family, saying that I am ungrateful, saying that I am not filial and ruthless, and saying ......"
Shen Mingqing choked again.
Fu Wanniang sighed lowly and reached out to caress Shen Mingqing's back.
"For a while, my family, everything is not going well, you also know, Daddy withdrew the envoy, and Mingshu was beaten by the board.
Daddy always said that it was the black hand of the prince, it was all the conspiracy of the uncle and the prince, and he made a trap for him and Mingshu, he and Mingshu were framed by the prince, and also said that Shunfeng Express that Li Da was in charge, he was the thug of the prince, and he was the fine work of Nanliang, and the letter that came back from Jiangning City was fake, and it was Shunfeng who faked and framed him and Mingshu. ”
Shen Mingqing's voice was low, but he spoke extremely fast.
Fu Wanniang frowned when she heard this, and wanted to say something, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, only sighing lowly.
It was her father and brother, and it was enough for her to listen to her.
The Shen family's affairs for a while, she heard her grandmother mention it a few times, and it was clear that the prince was very merciful.
As for the big boss of Shunfeng, she has seen it a few times, a very refreshing person, she doesn't know what is going on in Jiangning City, but if she wants to fake it until the uncle and the prince believe it, this ability, the big boss is afraid that he has not yet.
"Daddy's temper, he thinks about it, it's just like that.
I didn't know what I heard, so when I came back, I asked my wife to go to the palace to see my mother immediately, and when my wife came back, she taught me a lesson and forced me to ......"
Shen Mingqing raised his hand to cover his face, "Let me go to Niangniang and tell Niangniang that I want to marry the second master, saying that if I don't obey again, she will die in front of me, saying that I forced her to death."
Daddy scolded me, scolded me so ......much" Shen Mingqing choked in his throat and couldn't go on.
"That's parents, don't think about it. Your father is talking too seriously because he has a bad temper for a while, as you just said. Fu Wanniang said softly and comforted.
"Well, it's not because of this, it's not ......" Shen Mingqing closed his eyes and looked sad, "My wife often explains: You have to think more about yourself, and my wife often tells Daddy like this, you have to think more about yourself."
In this way, my wife has never told me, not once, my wife and I always say: You have to think more about your father, think more about your brother, and you must have the Shen family in your heart.
Why ......"
"Don't think about these useless things anymore, think about it too much, what else can you do but worry?
You have to look at the moment, your family affairs, you have to make a decision.
Your mother-in-law asked you to enter the palace to see your mother, saying that you want to marry, is it that your mother has something to say, such as asking you to marry and so on? That's why they came back to force you? Fu Wanniang said in a low voice.
"Hmm." Shen Mingqing hummed in a low voice.
"Ugh." Fu Wanniang held Shen Mingqing's back and sighed lowly, "A while ago, I heard that your father had withdrawn from the mission, and there was also your brother's matter, I thought, your business, I'm afraid that it can't be delayed any longer, so now?" ”
"Daddy thinks that it is best for the Shen family for me to marry the second master." Shen Mingqing took a deep breath and stabilized his emotions, "I'm not what he said, I only have myself in my heart, ignoring my parents and brothers, and ignoring the Shen family."
At present, the situation in the court is clear, the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, but it is not the second master, but the uncle.
Sometimes, the emperor's body can't hold on, and the court discussions are all moved to Ming'an Palace, I heard that when he moved to Ming'an Palace, most of the second masters did not follow.
Alas, the second master is even more inappropriate with the past.
In such a situation, the second master didn't care at all.
The day after Mingshu was beaten, the second master came to our house to read Mingshu, and I happened to be there, so I hid in the pantry next door.
Mingshu said that now the uncle's hand is getting longer and longer, such words, saying such things, it is wrong for Mingshu to say such things.
When the second master heard this, he first laughed, and then said to Mingshu very patiently that he had always hated political affairs, and if there was no uncle, he didn't know what to do, saying that if there was no uncle, the foundation of the Gu family would be handed over to him, and it would definitely be destroyed in his hands.
Saying that he inherited the throne is no way, but fortunately, there is an uncle.
The second master's temper is excellent, but with such a good temper, he is really heartless, what can I do if I marry him? Instigated him to fight with the uncle? Why scramble? Prison for him? What do I have to do that? ”
"Ugh." Fu Wanniang sighed when she heard it.
Such a second master, her mother-in-law and Weng Weng don't know how many times they have been worried, and even they can't say it well, such a second master, is it a good thing or a bad thing.
"Don't talk about me, even Niangniang feels that the second master is unreliable, otherwise, Niangniang will not think the same as I think, thinking that I am with," Shen Mingqing vaguely said the word Shizi, "It's better, at least don't let the Shen family and the prince go further and further away from the uncle."
The Shen family and the son of the world are out of control with the uncle, isn't the mother also in crisis? It's the second master, and it's not good.
But in this case, I told my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law scolded me for being a bastard, not to mention Daddy, Mingshu was bent on holding the second master in his hands, and the little aunt was bent on taking the title of Prince Rui into his own hands.
It's all death! Shen Mingqing clenched his fist against his forehead.
"Ago, I was waiting by my wife's side, and Weng Weng was talking to my wife." Fu Wanniang suppressed her voice, "Speaking of our Zhuangzi or something, how to arrange it, Weng Weng said, between Qi and Liang, I am afraid that there will be a fight in the next two years, saying that if this battle starts, it will be a big fight, either Qi will die, or Liang will be destroyed."
Once the fight starts, the prince will definitely lead the armies, your little aunt ......"
The rest of the words, Fu Wanniang didn't have to continue.
In such a battle of life and death, all the ministers of the court and the central government must be standing behind the uncle and the prince, striving to destroy the Southern Liang and dominate the world.
Ming Qing's little aunt, that Prince Rui, if she dares to make any moves, just like Ming Qing said, she will really die.
"It's not just fear, it's certain." Shen Mingqing's face was even more ugly, "I told Daddy, told Grandma, Grandma scolded me, Daddy also scolded me, saying that I was a bastard."
Daddy and Mingshu mean that Qi Liang has refused for nearly a hundred years, how can they fight again.
If they really want to fight, Daddy and Mingshu feel that when the prince is leading the troops, the uncle will lose his hands and feet, and this Lecheng is all their chances. ”
Fu Wanniang sighed, laughing dryly and didn't know what to say.
"Then you, what are your plans? Your family has been forced like this, and you can't delay this matter. Fu Wanniang asked again.
"If I marry the second master, the Shen family may be able to prosper, but Daddy and Mingshu, I'm afraid that they are really not far from death, and they can kill themselves.
I'll go and tell my mother tomorrow that I don't want to marry the second master.
I'm not for myself, at least, not all for myself! Shen Mingqing was silent for a long time and said in a low voice.
"It's okay, over the years, you have been entangled in suspense day and night, no matter what, it shows that there is a saying, there is a decision, at least you don't have to worry about it anymore." Fu Wanniang sighed a few times.
It's only like this, what can be done about such a thing?
……………………
The black horse held up a thin boot with a sole of two or three inches high, and held it up in front of Li Sangrou, "Boss, look, this sole is really similar to stilts, I have seen him many times, he walks very steadily, and he can't see it at all, these nobles are really, how uncomfortable is this?" ”
"Do you think you've lost?" Li Sangrou glanced at it and asked casually.
"I'll take a look!" Seeing that Li Sangrou didn't look at it, the golden retriever snatched it, turned it over and looked at it, took off his shoes and put them on his feet, "Look at this size, it's about the same as my feet, I'll try." ”
"With such a high sole, of course I lost!" The dark horse didn't care.
Isn't it just ten frogs jumping, it's done in a few clicks, how simple it is, don't say ten, it's a hundred, that's all trivial.
When the eleventh master bet this with him, he felt that the eleventh master was a little stupid.
Alas, these nobles are a bit stupid.
The golden retriever put on his high boots, stepped on his feet, and sighed, "It's like stepping on stilts!" Let me, let me go, let me take two steps! ”
The golden retriever took two steps forward with one foot high and one foot low, stood on one foot with a high-soled shoe, looked down at the strip that looked up at him, and then turned his head to look around, crossed his waist and laughed, "Oh hey, no wonder you have to wear such a high bottom, this is really far-sighted!" Stand tall and look far! No wonder...... Alas! ”
Before the golden retriever could finish his emotion, he shook his feet and threw himself forward into the vegetable field.
The black horse slapped his legs, laughed, jumped up and pulled the golden retriever, pulled the golden retriever up, and pressed him to take off his boots, "Let me try it too!" I'm going to be big, too! ”
"When you jump, you have to let Eleven and the Seventh Prince watch from the side, lest you say that you skipped and they won't admit it." Li Sangrou explained with a smile as she walked out.
Just a few steps away, Pan Dingbang's little maid Tingxi followed by a small guy and came across the courtyard.
"Big boss, Master Ma, this is the little guy Lotus Fruit waiting next to our uncle.
Our uncle sent him over to say a few words to Master Ma.
Our seventh master said, it is best to say this in front of the big boss, saying that the big boss is a sincere person, saying a sentence counts, Ma Ye is not necessarily. "Listening to Xi's series of words, it is extremely crisp.
The dark horse widened his eyes when he heard this, what are these words? He is a dignified horseman, and that is also a sentence! Spit and smash a hole!
"What's the matter?" Li Sangrou couldn't help but smile, looked at the lotus fruit and asked.
"Our eleventh master said that at that time, he thought less."
Lianguo hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Our eleventh master said that he jumped on the ground at the gate of Donghua, which was a shameful thing.
But if Ma Ye jumps a few times outside the Donghua Gate, the people who come in and out of the Donghua Gate don't know who Ma Ye is, if Ma Ye wears a tattered clothes again, he will jump on thirty jumps and twenty jumps, but I'm afraid that no one will look at it.
Our eleventh master said that this is unfair. ”
Lianguo's eyes widened when he said this.
What does it mean that people who come in and out of Donghua Gate don't know him? Ruyi knows him! Listen to him and get to know him! The porter of the Ministry of Works knows him! Many people know him as a dark horse!
"Then what do you eleventh master mean?" Li Sangrou asked with a smile.
"What do we mean by the eleventh master......"
"It's our Seventh Master's idea!" Listening to the joy came up and interjected.
"It's what our eleventh master and our aunt mean, our eleventh master said that Ma Ye has to jump at the literary meeting of the champion building in two days before it can be counted." Lianguo answered with a smile.
Li Sangrou looked at the dark horse.
"The Wenhui of the Zhuangyuan Building, I have heard people say, what kind of Wenhui is too learned, there are a lot of people, it is said that at least it is a lifting person, so that you can enter the door, let's go too?" The dark horse looked at Li Sangrou with a look of surprise.
"I didn't plan to go, but since you have to pay off your gambling debts, you can only go." Li Sangrou said with a smile.
"Then tell your eleventh master, Cheng!" The dark horse immediately readily agreed.
It doesn't matter where he jumps, he jumps fast and well when the frog jumps, ten or eight frogs jump, that can't stop him!
Li Sangrou watched the black horse send away Tingxi and Lianguo, thought about it, and told the golden retriever to find a trip to Ruyi, and asked Princess Ning He if he wanted to go to the Zhuangyuan Louwen meeting two days later to see the excitement.
……………………
Shen Mingqing talked to Fu Wanniang at Zhou's house, and had lunch before returning to the Yongping Marquis Mansion.
In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Mingqing came out in a car and went to the palace to meet Concubine Shen Xian.
Concubine Shen Xian looked a little tired.
"The mother doesn't look very good." Shen Mingqing looked at Concubine Shen Xian carefully and said with concern.
"There have been two more times in the night, and I'm a little tired, so you sit down and let's talk here." Concubine Shen Xian smiled and gestured to Shen Mingqing.
Shen Mingqing sat next to Concubine Shen Xian, picked up the beauty hammer from the couch, and said with a smile: "I'll beat my mother's legs, it's lively, and it's a lot more comfortable." ”
"Okay." Concubine Shen Xian moved and stretched her legs flat, "I see that your complexion is not very good, how are you at home?" ”
"Hmm." Shen Mingqing hummed plausibly.
Concubine Shen Xian was silent for a moment and sighed, "Your father withdrew the envoy, and Mingshu was hit again, and your father was the most unbearable."
Your wife came over before, and I didn't look very good. ”
"Daddy is okay, he has long said that he wants to read a few books, and now he is finally free." Shen Mingqing smiled bitterly.
"If only he could read it, it would be good." Concubine Shen Xian sighed annoyedly, "Why did he evacuate, did your wife tell you?" ”
"Hmm." Shen Mingqing lowered his eyes and nodded.
"What a big deal. On the day when Mingshu was on the board, the second brother went to see him and came back to gossip with me.
What did your daddy say? Feel aggrieved too? Concubine Shen Xian frowned and asked.
"I didn't dare to ask Daddy about this. The grandmother didn't say it to me specifically, but I heard it later when Daddy told the grandmother. Shen Mingqing dodged the question.
"Your daddy has been on a mission, and it's only been a few days? Your aunt has been here twice, your mother-in-law has been here once, and your aunt has been here twice. Alas. Concubine Shen Xian raised her hand and pressed it on her temple, sighing in annoyance.
Shen Mingqing lowered his eyes and did not speak.
She couldn't answer that.
"Your mother-in-law came the day before, and the day before, your little aunt came over and talked for a long time, all of which were one thing, that is, the second brother's family affairs.
Your mother-in-law said it clearly, saying that you and your second brother grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, since childhood, and said that my surname is Shen, no matter what, you have to think about the Shen family. In the end, Concubine Shen Xian was a little bored in her troubles.
"What do you mean? I only listen to my mother's arrangement for this. Shen Mingqing looked up at Concubine Shen Xian.
"Over the years, I have always regarded you as a daughter, this is the fate of our mother and son.
You are also an understanding person, we can also talk.
The second brother's temperament must be the uncle's supervision of the country, and the second brother really wants to personally manage government affairs, which is a catastrophe, and the second brother himself understands this very well.
Alas, this child, fortunately, knows himself.
At the beginning, there was no assassination and robbery in Beidong County, at that time, your second uncle was still alive, and I told your second uncle about it.
Your second uncle's meaning, the same as me, the uncle and the son, can only be friends, your second uncle's meaning, is also to let you marry into Prince Rui's mansion, at that time, your second uncle was very anxious, afraid that your little aunt would do something uncontrollable, but the Wen family's exercises......
Alas! Concubine Shen Xian sighed, "There will really be an accident later, and you will take your second uncle's life for nothing."
Now, we can only try.
I'll talk to the emperor, let the emperor discuss with the uncle, see what the prince means, if the uncle and the prince can nod their heads, that's the best, if not,"
Concubine Shen Xian's words paused, and after a moment, she continued: "I can only wronged you, you are a family matter, just listen to the uncle's arrangement, what he says, you will do it, do you think it will work?" ”
"Okay." Shen Mingqing nodded again and again.
She was already extremely grateful and satisfied to have this attempt, and she didn't dare to think about it or not.
