Chapter 71: Sister and Brother Talk
"Okay, let's eat." When Mrs. Sun saw that the maid's mother had already set the meal, she called these people over for dinner.
The family doesn't need so many people to wait for dinner, and now Master Shen is babying Bao'er, but he can only watch the two children being carried down.
"Ahem, let's eat."
Old Master Shen and Mrs. Sun moved the chopsticks, and Shen Mingzhen and Shen Mingze also began to pick up the dishes.
"Ze'er, how have you been studying recently, although you have come back, you must also study hard, don't slack off."
Master Shen swallowed the pork belly in his mouth and spoke, Shen Mansion does not have those rules of eating and sleeping.
"The child has finished the course, and my husband suggested that I can go to the college exam in the spring."
Shen Mingze originally thought that he would end up in the precipitation for three years, but now that the eldest sister has married into the Wu'an Hou Mansion, the second sister is also going to get married.
Speaking of this, Master Shen was stunned, he naturally knew that Shen Mingze was good at learning, but he didn't expect that Kaichun could come to an end, and now Shen Mingze has just passed his thirteenth birthday, and Kaichun is only fourteen years old, so he will take the hospital exam at the age of fourteen.
"Good, good, worthy of being my good son." Master Shen laughed heartily, and even ate a few more bites of the green vegetables on the table that he had always disliked.
"If you want to participate in the Spring Festival, you should study hard, your yard is too noisy, so move to the yard behind your father's study tomorrow, it will be clean."
Mrs. Sun is naturally happy, if Shen Mingze is in the middle of the spring, then Mingzhu Mingzhen and Bao'er An'er are also guaranteed.
But Shen Mingzhen fell into deep thought, although Shen Mingze was smart, but the official family died before the beginning of spring, and it is unknown whether there will be spring in the second year.
"Is there anything wrong with the second sister?" Shen Mingze saw that Shen Mingzhen didn't speak, so he asked, he also knew the second sister's temperament, and naturally wanted to know her opinion.
Shen Mingzhen shook his head: "I'm just thinking about something, it's naturally good to participate in the Spring Festival, but the fourth brother must remember not to be impatient, and don't be too sharp, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind."
Shen Mingze nodded.
Master Shen was a little unhappy, is it difficult for the father and son to be officials in the same dynasty, and he can't take care of his son?
Before he could speak, Shen Mingzhen said again: "But Chunyu is about your future future, and you must do your best."
Now that there are still half a year left before the Spring Festival, if there is no autumn test in the Spring Festival, Shen Mingze is still young and there is no need to worry.
Master Shen was also happy when he heard this, and drank a few more glasses of wine.
Shen Mingzhen and Shen Mingze retreated on the way back.
"Second sister, what do you have to say to me?" Shen Mingze naturally saw that in front of Master Shen at that time, Shen Mingzhen didn't say everything.
Shen Mingzhen looked at the sky and sighed: "Mingze, do you know the situation in the court now?"
"Now the foundation of the new emperor is not stable, and the Ouyang family controls the government in the court, and there are officials from the Wu'an Hou Mansion on the side of the military camp, but most of them are still in the hands of the Qiao family and the Yun family."
Since Shen Mingze has the intention to enter the court as an official, he naturally has an understanding of the situation in the court.
"Well, now the official family does not hold real power, although it is not the Ouyang family's Yiyantang in the court, it is not the world of the official family, and the military region, Ming Ze, the Yun family and the Ouyang family are married."
Shen Mingzhen thought of the rumors she had heard in her previous life, and now that the Yun family and the Ouyang family were married, it would be announced in less than three days.
"Once the Yun family and the Ouyang family form an alliance, then the Ouyang family, together with the Yun family, will definitely support a puppet new emperor, but the official family is now in danger."
"No, the palace is heavily guarded, and the official family will not be in any danger anyway." Shen Mingze was a little frightened, if something happened to the official family. I'm afraid that this court is going to be chaotic.
Shen Mingzhen shook his head: "Although the official family lives in the palace, there are many people, and it is easy to dodge the open gun and difficult to prevent the hidden arrow, even if something happens, it is not surprising, if the Ouyang family poisons the official family, then no one will say anything to support the new emperor."
No one dared to say anything, this was the case in her previous life, she heard Song Ziyi talk nonsense after being drunk more than once, at that time, the Ouyang family had already controlled the government, and the new emperor would only drink and have fun all day long, although it did not reach the point where the people were displaced, but it was also full of complaints.
Shen Mingze thought about it carefully and felt reasonable, if the Ouyang family really supported the new emperor, I am afraid that the entire court would become a cancer.
"And General Song, with General Song in the official family, there will be no accidents." Shen Mingze thought of Song Chenyu, the Song family and the Qiao family have always only obeyed the orders of the official family, and the Qiao family is beyond the reach of the whip, but the Song family is in Kyoto Mansion.
Shen Mingzhen pondered for a moment, if Song Chenyu really lived in Kyoto Mansion for a long time, then he would naturally be safe.
"Now the border pass is not very peaceful, General Song Xiao will return to the border pass sooner or later, and that state will still be formed at that time."
And even if Song Chenyu has been in Kyoto Mansion, the group of cavalry that the Ouyang family has kept in captivity in secret is not to be underestimated, once the Ouyang family can't wait to attack the palace, no one will be able to stop it.
This can't be said with Shen Mingze, now the Ouyang family is well hidden, if she says it rashly, and according to Shen Mingze's temperament, I'm afraid she will say it, and then their Shen family will definitely be wiped out, and now the Shen family is very weak, so naturally they have no ability to compete with the Ouyang family.
"But what should I do now?" Shen Mingze's three views and the education he received made him unable to accept such a thing, and it has always been despicable to seek rebellion.
"Ze'er, we are all still too weak to compete with them, and the only way is to protect ourselves."
If she is a man, then she will definitely try her best to maintain it, but she is only a daughter, she is not unwilling, but she does not have the ability.
Shen Mingze looked down at his hands and fell silent.
He is still too young, even Shen Mingzhen, who lives in the back house, can see through the situation, but he still doesn't know that he still wants to protect his family.
"You don't need to worry, you're naturally very good, but the time has not yet come."
Shen Mingzhen stood on tiptoe and touched Shen Mingze's head to comfort him.
"Second sister, can you still participate in this year's Spring Festival?" If you can't, you have to wait for another three years, and if it's too much, Shen Mingze is naturally unwilling.
"If there is, you will naturally participate, but if not, then you should also adjust your mentality."
Shen Mingzhen can't say for sure, after all, Song Chenyu was not in Kyoto at this time in his previous life.
