Chapter 5 Auntie's Condition

Zeng Ti and his wife stepped out of the courtyard door, Shen Fuzhi sent the two to the carriage, watched them enter the carriage, solemnly said goodbye, and then straightened up their waists, stood in the slanting sun, and watched the carriage go out of the alley with a bang.

Left and right neighbors, at the end of the afternoon, they had heard that something had happened to Shen Fuzhi's niece, and only then did they see a generous carriage parked at the door of Shen Mansion for a long time, so they were naturally reluctant to miss any fierce material, and their heads and necks stretched out from all directions to look.

Shen Fuzhi didn't care, and frankly announced to the neighbors: "There is nothing to do, Deputy Zeng Shu's family, how can it be an unreasonable family." ”

He turned to a warm and intimate tone and said: "From now on, Sister Huan will live here, and I will be accompanied by my aunt, and you uncles and aunts will take care of it." ”

Everyone agreed.

Living next to each other, over time, who can hide any secrets.

Shen Fuzhi's maiden family, and Shen Kuo, a former famous man of the dynasty, are relatives of the same clan, and the neighbors are saved. Originally, everyone was still curious about how such a woman with a good family background and appearance lived alone, and she still went out early and returned late to make a living.

When Shen Fuzhi faced them, he was not embarrassed or dodged, and without waiting for the people who ate melons to use their imagination, he had generously confided the reason.

The Tao is that he is not in harmony with his husband, and he has left things, and his mother's family has declined, so he has nothing to rely on, but fortunately, he has learned some cooking skills with his sister since he was a child, and opened a restaurant to chat for a living.

The capital city of Bianbian in the Great Song Dynasty was already a thriving civil society, and its inhabitants were merchants, craftsmen, and entertainment service workers, in addition to the bureaucratic scribes and the huge forbidden army and their families.

The workshop where Shen Fuzhi lives is dominated by small and medium-sized restaurant owners, tea and spice merchants, and tile storytellers.

In their eyes, Shen Fuzhi is the official eunuch Jin Boudoir "sank" into the market, but this Jin Boudoir is honest, diligent, not weak or arrogant, and there is never the kind of class estrangement that is revealed from the bones to the neighbors.

Such a middle-aged, childless, struggling woman, when you meet her every day, you don't think she has a little dark, sad, anxious, and dazed appearance.

Her positive spirit has clearly infiltrated her culinary career, which she relies on for a living. The taste of the roasted pork intestines, braised pork hearts, oily waist flowers, and lotus seed pork belly soup she made is indeed attractive.

Therefore, the neighbors quickly accepted Shen Fuzhi's integration, and they were even faintly proud of having such a lively and interesting woman in this alley. Today, after the instinctive curiosity gradually subsided, the neighbors who once again learned Shen Fuzhi's frank style, and when they talked about Shen Fuzhi and her little niece who were also a little legendary, after dinner, the tone was almost all admiration and compassion.

Shen Fuzhi stood in the patio.

The glow of the sunset, burning, reflected in the small fish pond in the patio flower garden, the sky light and fish shadows wandering together, beautiful and beautiful.

Shen Fuzhi only watched for a moment, then turned around and entered the west chamber where Yao Huan was resting.

……

For more than an hour, Yao Huan was really resting. She listened to the movement in the hall with her ears pricked up, but she heard the deep male voice and the slightly higher female voice, alternately, and it didn't sound like a conflict of anger, but she couldn't distinguish the content of the conversation.

At the same time, she searched for knowledge in her head. Fortunately, before the crossing, to be exact, when she was lingering on the sickbed in her previous life, she used to read all kinds of historical articles to pass the time.

She at least knew that the Song Dynasty, which was poor and weak in later generations, was not always in a situation of being beaten on the issue of border troubles.

The white-haired old general who came forward to uphold justice mentioned the battle of "Hongdecheng", which greatly increased the morale of the Song army, and Yao Huan realized that what he wore should be the era when Zhao Xu, Zhezong of the Northern Song Dynasty, was the son of heaven.

As for the old general, the official media lady and the aunt Shen Fuzhi, they all said that "Zeng Shuxiang", "Shuxiang", refers to the head of the Privy Council of the National Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Privy Council and Zhongshu Province were listed as the "two mansions" at the top level of the imperial court, Zhongshu Province was in charge of state administration, and the Privy Council controlled military dominance, and the governors of Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council were all at the level of prime ministers.

And "Zeng Shuxiang" must refer to Zeng Gong's younger brother, Zeng Bu, one of the "Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties".

Yao Huan remembered that unlike Zeng Gong, a master of literature and history, Zeng Bu appeared as a senior politician in the records of later generations.

Zeng Bu worshiped under Wang Anshimen in his early years, and could be regarded as the right-hand man of the Xining Reform and the New Party clique, but he was soon expelled from Beijing due to the internal contradictions of the New Party clique. After the death of Shenzong, Zhao Xu, who succeeded to the throne, was young, and Shenzong's mother, Empress Dowager Gao, listened to the government. Empress Dowager Gao revived the old party Sima Guang and others, and completely abolished Wang Anshi's new law, Zeng Bu, as the former backbone of the new party, naturally could not enter the top of the political arena when Empress Dowager Gao controlled the government.

In the eighth year of Yuanyou (1093), Empress Dowager Gao died, and the seventeen-year-old son of heaven Zhao Xu became the ruler. Zhao Xu was bent on inheriting the legacy of his father Song Shenzong, and he had long been dissatisfied with his grandmother Empress Dowager Gao, so he decisively eradicated the old party and reappointed Zhang Dian, Zeng Bu and others.

Therefore, based on the information that the Battle of Hongdecheng of the Song Army had ended and Zeng Bu was already in power in the Privy Council, Yao Huan judged that it was now the second or third year of Shaosheng, that is, 1094 or 1095.

Yao Huan couldn't help but subconsciously go under the pillow - touching the phone.

I really want to Baidu all kinds of historical details! But apparently utopian.

In history, Song Zhezong is now eighteen or nineteen years old, but he died at the age of twenty-four. Then there was the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty for more than 20 years, and then the Jin soldiers went south and captured Bianjing, the shame of Jingkang, more than 3,000 people of Emperor Hui, Emperor Qin and the royal clan were all captured and went north, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished......

Yao Huan pinched his fingers and calculated, and felt a chill. Thirty years later, I, only about fifty years old, should be, most likely still alive, if I still live in Bianjing City, wouldn't I have to experience a catastrophe? Do you want to slowly accumulate some money and move to the south early?

Then she laughed at herself. The world is impermanent, tomorrow and accidents don't know which one will come first, how do I know that I will be able to live to menopause safely, without illness and disaster? Didn't I even live to be thirty years old before I crossed over?

She was concentrating when her aunt Shen Fuzhi walked in.

"The Zeng family wants to recognize you as a righteous daughter."

"Huh?" Yao Huan was surprised, and then realized that his expression should be mixed with some disdain and even annoyance, and he had to maintain a resistant attitude towards the Zeng family with the original owner of this shell.

But she didn't know how to organize her words, so she had to look down at the edge of the bed.

Shen Fuzhi's face was not stained with a look of sarcasm and disdain for the Zeng family, but said with serious consideration: "The Zeng family came to the door so quickly, not to tie you up and continue to worship, but to ask you to nod and be the righteous daughter of Zeng Ti, the son of the Zeng family, which must be related to Zhang Laoshuai's involvement." Zhang Lao Shuai Zhang Jie, who in the capital does not know that he is the person of Prime Minister Zhang Dian. Zeng Shu Xiang and Zhang Xiang Gong have been at odds for a long time, in the matter of using troops against the Western Xia, Zeng Shu Xiang is the main peace, and the princess Zhang Xiang is fighting, but the person in your heart was martyred when he fought the Western Xia people, Zhang Dian must seize this matter, go to the official's house, and talk about this news in the city......"

Shen Fu analyzed, and Yao Huan remembered some historical materials. Yes, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Zeng Bu and Zhang Dian fought from the Zhezong Dynasty to the Huizong Dynasty, and it was an open secret of the Bianjing court to fight each other.

Yao Huan decided to do his duty as a traverser, simply handed over the right to speak, and then slowly groped his way forward.

"I, I don't know, I, listen to my aunt." She muttered simple sentences.

Shen Fuzhi sighed, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Huan'er, you would rather die than be forced, why didn't your aunt have such a heart when she was young." But there are some things, hiding, not the way. My aunt thought about it, the Zeng family didn't go to the Yao Mansion to reason with your stepmother, but found it here, which means that you have nothing to do with the Yao Mansion, which is a reasonable attitude. As for proposing to recognize the righteous girl, although it is out of Zeng Shuxiang's ability to be old in the eunuch field, he took the opportunity to admit his mistake, and Mo Jiaozhang Xianggong pinched today's handle to exaggerate and take the opportunity to attack in front of the official family, but there is really no future trouble for you, but it will not make a fuss about your forced marriage again. You see, but this is the truth? ”

Yao Huan understood. Her eyes were dazed and dependent, and she said to Shen Fu: "What my aunt said is true." ”

Shen Fuzhi's thoughts of pity arose again. After her sister was gone, her niece regarded her aunt as a close relative who could talk about her boudoir affairs. Outsiders only say how stubborn this kid should be when he is looking for a short term on the street, but in fact, Shen Fu knows in his heart that Yao Huan has a gentle nature, as long as she doesn't push her, she can endure anything.

Shen Fuzhi then chased: "Huan'er, aunt is not a person who is afraid of things, don't worry that if you don't allow the Zeng family, it will bring disaster to your aunt." Are you, really, willing to accept this confession? ”

Yao Huan's tongue stumped, and tried to say: "If I can still live in my aunt's place, I can admit it." ”

Shen Fuzhi didn't seem to notice the strangeness of her accent, so he only nodded resolutely: "Naturally, I am still with my aunt, and then Zengfu is just acting on the spot, in order to calm down the sound of the wind and waves, and I don't want to fake it." However, since you have agreed, my aunt still has a condition to mention to Zeng's house, which is what my aunt thought of temporarily, but I can't help but say that I know it. ”

"Auntie, please speak."

"This condition is that Prime Minister Zeng Shu will come forward to leave a way back for the son of an old man."
