Chapter 170: Unsuccessful

When the ladies of the harem are exhausted for their heirs, favors, and standing in line, and the dark tide is surging, the ladies of Shao Mansion have been concerned about another matter recently.

Since learning the reason why Shao Beicheng and his wife have no children so far, they not only cherish the many hardships and unwarranted criticisms that Rong Yu has suffered in vain over the years in order to have a child, but also worry that Shao Beicheng will be difficult to let go and be depressed, and they have repeatedly discussed for a long time, and finally agreed that only the old and weak women and children in Shao Mansion have supported the courtyard over the years, and although the grange on the outskirts of Beijing has been managed by the head of the village, it has not been checked for many years.

The Grange is not as good as the shop, the output is limited, the head of the village is different, and the ability to understand is limited, so they say that they are invited to check, in fact, they want to let them go out to play and relax in the spring and sunshine and the fields are green.

Although she thought so in her heart, when facing Shao Beicheng and Rong Yu and his wife, Mrs. Shao's face was very solemn: "In addition to checking the accounts, you can take the opportunity to take a look at the situation of spring ploughing. ”

All the ladies also looked solemn and agreed, and at the end, the Shen family even held Rong Yu's hand sideways, and said earnestly: "It's okay to have private property in each room, and most of the Zhuangtou are old people who have been used in each room, and they are always the same, not to mention the marriage of the county lord's mother, not to mention the Zhuangzi, who is in charge of the emperor's house, is taken care of by the internal officials in charge of the Huangzhuang......"

"In addition to private property, there is a grange in the public middle school......"

"The family business of the ancestors has been passed down for so many years, and it has always been said that some of them are purchased, some are rewarded by the Son of Heaven, and some are managed by the generals who are merciful and disabled ...... the old department.

Shen's tone was full of apology: "These are the responsibilities of the long house, but it's a pity that my son who doesn't grow up ......"

It was originally a play to avoid suspicion and rejection by Shao Beicheng and his wife, but when Shen said this, he sighed sincerely in his heart.

All the affairs in the public should have been borne by her son.

But her son ......

She has only one son, Shao Chengzhi, an orphan of the former Shao Mansion Changfang and now a young Dingguo Gong.

Zhou people are accustomed to being humble, and when parents talk about their children in front of others, no matter how proud they are, it is rare to boast about them.

But her sentence "don't grow" is used on Cheng Zhi, but she can't be considered humble.

Because, Shao Chengzhi really doesn't grow......

The late husband was brave and strategic, and she was clear when she asked herself, but she never thought that Cheng Zhi would grow into what he is now.

If you can't write it, you can't do it.

Cheng Zhi was not in good health when he was young, but later he was fortunate to have Mu Shenyi personally recuperate, and he was better recuperated, but he had missed the best opportunity to practice martial arts and enlightenment.

The sons and daughters of the Shao family have all practiced martial arts since childhood.

After discussing with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wei, she asked her grandmother, Mrs. Shao, to make the decision, opened the ancestral hall, sacrificed to the ancestors, and sent Shao Chengzhi to the Guozijian to study.

Over the past hundred years, the Shao family now has many people from the side tribe who do not practice martial arts and are not in the army.

But in the past hundred years, there has not been a Dingguo Duke in the Shao family who is not a military general.

A hundred years of inheritance, when it comes to Chengzhi, it can be regarded as broken.

Shen thought of this, and became more and more depressed.

Is it in response to that sentence, how many defeats a loving mother has?

If she hadn't prevented Chengzhi from practicing martial arts because of selfishness, then what would Chengzhi look like today?

Naturally, if Cheng Zhi can make progress in his studies as she expected, it will not be regarded as falling into the glory of his ancestors.

Promising academic ......

The sons and daughters of the nobles do not need to be tested for fame to have official positions, but those official positions are all military attachés, if they want to be civil officials, they must be like the world's scholars, ten years of cold windows, and scientific examinations.

Although Chengzhi is not in good health and his qualifications are mediocre, he is the son of the Shao family, determined to make a difference, and took the Xiucai exam early.

After he tied his hair at the age of fifteen, the Shen family had the heart to propose marriage for him, so according to the Shao family's practice, he asked him what kind of girl he liked.

Shen still remembers his son's expression when he answered.

At that time, the young man's eyes smiled brightly and said, "The former dynasty poetry, the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day, mother, after the title of the son's gold list and the spring flowers in Kyoto, I will answer your question today." ”

The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day......

Some frivolous verses, coming out of the mouth of a clear-eyed young man, became high-spirited in the eyes of his mother.

Shen thought that every time someone asked about his son's schoolwork, the doctors of Guozijian praised him, so he thought that his son had indeed succeeded in his studies, and the Toad Palace was just around the corner, so he put aside the matter of discussing his family.

But in the autumn of that year, Chengzhi fell.

Although she is also a little lost, but thinking that fifteen-year-old people are not rare, her mother's sixth brother who later became a Dali temple secretary, also took two exams before he was lifted, and after her son returned to high school next time, eighteen or nineteen years old said goodbye, it did not hinder anything, so thinking about it, my heart was also relieved.

Three years later, Cheng Zhiqiu fell off the list again.

It's just a matter of spring, and it's just a matter of stopping in autumn twice......

This time, Shen couldn't figure it out or sit still, so she picked up some of Cheng Zhi's homework articles on weekdays, as well as the articles he wrote in the examination room after he went home, and rushed back to her parents' house in a hurry.

Although she is a young lady from a scholarly family, she has been studying with her female husband since she was a child, but what women learn is very different from that of men, so she must ask her father's brother to evaluate her son's homework.

On the way back to her parents' house, she even thought that if Cheng Zhi had real talent and the splendid articles he made were buried by unscrupulous examiners, then she would show her face and even if she held her deceased husband's spirit card and went to the Jinluan Palace to sue the emperor, she would have to seek justice for her son!

Seeing her like this, my father and two brothers felt that the matter was very important, and they sat around a table and meticulously studied Cheng Zhi's articles until late at night......

She looked forward to it, and waited until her sixth brother tactfully persuaded, "Seventh sister, as the saying goes, starting a family and starting a business, it can be seen that you have to start a family first, and then start a business, you might as well tell your eldest nephew a family matter first, as for this entrance examination, ah no, take the exam, slow down, don't ......be in a hurry."

When she heard this, her eyes darkened.

After hearing the news of her late husband's death, she experienced despair for the second time......

Naturally, the fame is just a fame, and the Shao family is not the family that the whole family expects to come out of a Jinshi to shine on the lintel, whether it is a Jinshi or a lifter, if you can't pass the exam, you can't pass the exam.

In the eyes of the world, the son who has achieved nothing still has many advantages in her opinion.

Qualifications are mediocre......

She just felt a little regretful, thinking of her son's joy when he was later enlightened than others when he was young, but he was admitted early in the examination, thinking of his high spirits when he was fifteen years old, and thinking of his later silence......

Unknown to everyone?

She just had some regrets.

Probably, there are regrets......

regret should not act according to the Shao family's practice of asking the hearts of their children, but should be like Mrs. Guan, according to the order of the parents and the etiquette of the matchmaker's words, and set up a marriage for her son early......

If that were the case, she might have already held her grandson by now......

If you have a delicate and lovely daughter-in-law and a lively grandson......

The son can probably figure out that there are many scenery in his life, and there is really no need to hit a south wall and not look back......
