Chapter 40: Tranquility and well-being

"Sun, what are you talking nonsense?" Master Shen strode in and pulled Sun up.

Mrs. Sun looked at the face in front of her, surprisingly without a trace of turmoil in her heart, and said lightly: "The master is back, just right, I want a piece of paper and a book."

"What are you messing around, it's a big deal that I care more about you in the future." Master Shen frowned, a little displeased.

Mrs. Sun suddenly laughed, she was no worse than Aunt Zhu, and now she laughed a little better: "Master, you don't have a place for me in your heart, but I believe that you still have some fatherly hearts, and I can rest assured that I will leave the three of them to you."

Master Shen was stunned.

"You and I have known each other for many years, although you spoil your concubine and kill your wife, you are not a ruthless person, but your heart is biased."

Mrs. Sun and Master Shen stood opposite each other, and in the image they never seemed to have talked so calmly, and Master Shen either looked impatient or shook his hand when facing her.

"You're bored with Zhen'er just because she's my daughter, as long as I'm gone, how can there be an overnight feud between your father and daughter, Zhen'er is a good one, if nothing else, at least Mingzhu is doing well now."

"Aunt Zhu is also a kind person who will repay her, although she doesn't like Zhen'er, but she also misses Zhen'er's kindness to them, she just wants to be the second wife."

"Enough, this lady is yours, Qiaoyun is just a concubine, I won't straighten her up."

Master Shen thought of the edict, and he didn't know when he would come down, if Mrs. Sun was determined to leave, what would it do.

The smile on Mrs. Sun's face froze.

"You and I have a good talk." Seeing that the old lady had already retreated, Master Shen pulled Mrs. Sun to the main room.

"You didn't want to marry me in the first place, why don't you even want to let me go now."

Mrs. Sun felt the rare tenderness of Master Shen.

"Ugh."

Master Shen sighed.

"Qiaoyun, she is only suitable to be a concubine, you are the best choice for the wife of the family, not to mention far, she is far inferior to you in terms of teaching children and housekeepers."

"We have shared the same bed for more than 20 years, and we have also given birth to two daughters and a son, and now the five and six are still in infancy, do you really think that I don't have that heart for you."

Mrs. Sun still looked at Master Shen expressionlessly.

"My husband knows, you have been suffering all these years, but even for the sake of the fifth and sixth children, you don't want to mention the matter of reconciliation and separation?"

Seeing that Mrs. Sun was unmoved, Master Shen also knew that he was afraid that there was nothing to keep Mrs. Sun except for the child.

"Do you remember when Zhen'er was born?" Mrs. Sun whispered.

"Why don't I remember, it's my daughter-in-law."

"But have you ever thought that Aunt Zhu's daughter is called Mingzhu, the pearl in her palm, and my Zhen'er is just a name that you say casually when you listen to the play, and now that my children are full moon, you still call them Xiaowu Xiaoliu, Shen Shilang, your heart is boundless." Mrs. Sun snorted coldly.

Old Master Shen had never seen Mrs. Sun's harsh words, and explained in a panic.

"The plague was raging a few days ago, and since it was delayed, I have already chosen a few names and waited."

Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed.

"Our daughter is the youngest, I gave her a nickname, while calling Bao'er, the big name Shen Mingning, the homonym is Ning of Anning."

Master Shen coughed, fortunately, he really cared about these children.

"Really?"

Mrs. Sun felt a little untrustworthy.

"It's true.

It's just that there are too many things to do these days to hand over the name to you, and our rare children are like jewels.

Zhen'er's name is not derived from the drama you are talking about, and because the drama shows that the woman who called Zhen'er has a strong and fierce temperament.

Our Zhen'er is a concubine, and if she wants to hold up the door, I hope that she will be as smooth as the woman in the play. ”

Master Shen explained to Mrs. Sun in a rare way.

Mrs. Sun frowned, a little moved.

Master Shen saw that there was hope, and continued to speak.

"Look at our little five, what should we call it?"

Mrs. Sun pondered for a moment.

"Let's call An'er, Tranquility and Health, they were born at this time, I only want them to be healthy."

"But this..."

Master Shen still wanted to say something, he had thought that Xiao Wu would call Bai'er, and the meaning was good.

Mrs. Sun glared, and Master Shen had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"I don't know why you don't want to be reconciled with me, but I also know in my heart that it's not the love of men and women.

Maybe you are soft-hearted, maybe you think I will have a hard time when I leave this Shilang Mansion, but Shen Shilang, I didn't stay for you, but for my three children. ”

Mrs. Sun turned her head and walked outside, she had finished saying everything, she knew that Heli would not be reconciled, and this scene was just to make Shen Shilang bow her head and let her children have a better life.

In the Imperial Study.

"You're really welcome, my imperial study is like your backyard." The official looked at the young general who was holding a tea cup and pouring himself a drink, and was a little helpless.

Song Chenyu put down the teacup, got up and made a big salute to the official family.

"What, do you still have something to ask me for?" Thinking about last night's scene, the official couldn't help laughing, his young general couldn't pass the beauty pass.

"Chenyu thanked the official." Song Chenyu was born indifferent, but he knew that the official family in front of him was a good man, but it was a pity...

"That woman deserves to be like this for you? Even you dare to trespass in my imperial study. The official couldn't help laughing, who would have thought that the general who was almost shot into a sieve last night broke into the imperial study just for a woman.

Song Chenyu raised his head and looked at the official family firmly: "That's not an ordinary woman, but a person on the tip of the minister's heart." ”

The official family was stunned, in the royal family, he had seen many people and even said all kinds of people, but he had never seen such a straightforward person as Song Chenyu.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll blame you?"

Song Chenyu shook his head.

"The minister believes in himself, and the official family is a rare lover."

This official family was really stunned, the most ruthless emperor family, but now a courtier told him that he was a rare lover.

"You can talk, okay, I've already ordered what you want, you can go back too."

Song Chenyu bent over and retreated.

"Do you say he's innocent or wolf-like?" The official turned his back to the door, not knowing who to ask.

"You said that the wife invited herself and was persuaded by the master?" Aunt Zhu asked a little unprofessionally.

The maid nodded, and shrank back a little uneasily, this Aunt Zhu's temperament is a little uncertain.

Aunt Zhu frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Shen Mingzhu, who rushed back when she heard that Shen Mingzhen had fainted, saw Aunt Zhu so tangled as soon as she came.

"Zhu'er, do you say that your aunt can be the position of the housewife?" Aunt Zhu pulled Shen Mingzhu as soon as she could, she didn't give up, she just suppressed her thoughts.

Shen Mingzhu frowned, why did he mention this matter again.

Aunt Zhu was a little embarrassed, and squirmed: "Aunt also knows that Mingzhen has helped you a lot, but this time it was Mrs. who invited herself to the court, which is different, and Aunt Zhu thought about whether there was a chance."

Shen Mingzhu sighed, now she has also been taught by Shen Mingzhen a lot, and took Aunt Zhu's hand and sat down on the soft couch beside her.

"Auntie, don't think about this, not to mention whether your mother will really go to court, auntie, do you think you can be a good housewife?

Isn't the lesson of my aunt last time enough, you must know that mother is the most suitable position to be the main mother. ”

"Don't underestimate your aunt, okay, it was just my aunt who listened to the slander last time." Aunt Zhu was a little angry.

"Instead of thinking about this, auntie should think about how to solve this matter." Shen Mingzhu thought of the rumors when she came, and was a little uneasy, I don't know if Shen Mingzhen would misunderstand what their mother and daughter did.

Aunt Zhu didn't understand.

"What's the solution to this? Which thing? My aunt hasn't caused any trouble lately. ”

"Since it was the father's spoiling of his concubine and the killing of his wife, now there is a lot of noise on the street, and even the official family has asked about it." Shen Mingzhu knew at a glance that Aunt Zhu didn't know about it, but she didn't know why her grandmother said those words. Last time, it was clear that the previous suspicion had been released, and Mingzhen didn't pursue it.

Aunt Zhu pursed her lips.

"It's just some rumors, what's the big deal, if your father really spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, I would have been Mrs. Shilang a long time ago."

Shen Mingzhu felt a little powerless in the face of such an aunt, and now she really knew why her aunt had always been a concubine.

"Auntie, you must know that my dynasty attaches great importance to the hierarchy, and it is a big deal for this matter to reach the ears of the official family, although it is not punished, but it does not leave a good impression on the official family."

Aunt Zhu frowned: "But I can't do anything about this, do I." I didn't cause this. ”

"You really didn't let your grandmother talk nonsense?" Shen Mingzhu obviously didn't believe it.

Aunt Zhu knocked Shen Mingzhu's head.

"Even your aunt dares to doubt that this girl is married, right, let me tell you, although your aunt is not a good person, but she is not the thing that loses her conscience.

Shen Mingzhen has a sisterhood to you and is willing to help you, although I don't like her very much, but I am also grateful to her. ”

"You really didn't blame her for her brother's business?"

Shen Mingzhu thought of the younger brother who was thrown to Zhuangzi to experience life.

Aunt Zhu shook her head.

"At the beginning, it was false to say that you didn't blame him, your brother has suffered since he was a child, but his aunt can't protect him for the rest of his life, so she has to let him grow up.

Although Shen Mingzhen has scheming, she is not a big evil person, she will not take your brother's life, but she may not take care of blood and family affection, which is a special case for you. ”

Shen Mingzhu also felt the sadness in Aunt Zhu's heart, and took her hand tightly.

"What kind of stupid thing does my aunt say, even if Shen Mingzhen doesn't care about blood and family, doesn't she still have a daughter. After all, you can't watch your brother go down the wrong path. ”

"You also have your own home. Your mother-in-law is not a good person, so don't worry about your brother and think more about yourself. ”

Aunt Zhu doesn't have those patriarchal ideas, and her sons and daughters are all the flesh of her heart.

"Mother." Shen Mingzhu plunged into Aunt Zhu's arms, shouting that she was ignorant and chased after Aunt Zhu when she was young, this is the sorrow of the concubine. Even if he is his own flesh and blood, he can only call his aunt.

Aunt Zhu's eyes were wet, she stroked Shen Mingzhu's back and took a breath.

"Zhu'er, it's time for you to go and see Shen Mingzhen, there's nothing wrong with your relationship getting better. It's time for your aunt to go to your father's. ”

"Why are you back, now you are not suitable to come back in the limelight." Shen Mingzhen was sitting in the courtyard, and it was a little strange to see Shen Mingzhu coming back.

Shen Mingzhu was also unceremonious, and sat down on the soft couch next to Shen Mingzhen.

"Are you alright?"

"It's not a big deal, but I'm tired." Shen Mingzhen shook her head.

Shen Mingzhu was relieved to see that little face, and his complexion was really good.

"My grandmother's words don't mean our mother and daughter."

"I know you're not that stupid now."

Shen Mingzhen paused.

"But it's still stupid, knowing that it's not appropriate to come back at this time."

"This is my home, even if I get married, I am still a girl from the Shen Mansion, don't look down on me too much."

Shen Mingzhu understood what Shen Mingzhen meant, and now that she, the daughter of the legendary favorite concubine, came back, I was afraid that there would be a lot of rumors outside.

"Well, with long legs on you, you can do anything." Shen Mingzhen didn't expect Shen Mingzhu to think like this, "Song Ziyi didn't tell you the consequences of coming back?" ”

"I said it, it's just a few gossip from outsiders, but I didn't expect you to toss my mother-in-law to the point where she can't get out of bed." Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Mrs. Song lying on the bed.

Shen Mingzhen, who had already experienced personnel in her previous life, heard this ambiguous sentence, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Don't do this in front of Song Ziyi, be careful of falling short." Shen Mingzhen thought about it and reminded.

"That's natural, it's just that I'm a little strange why you know so much about things in the Hou Mansion." Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but ask, and then reacted and immediately changed his words, "Forget it, don't think about it, obviously you are younger than me, and you are tired and worry too much." ”

"I didn't know that you, Shen Mingzhu, would also care about me." Shen Mingzhen probably never thought that Shen Mingzhu would have a day when she really cared about her.

"What do you think, it's just that your brain is smarter than me, how I should gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion depends on you, do you really think how much I care about you."

Shen Mingzhu's face was slightly red, and she pouted and said, but she had a little bit of a little daughter's posture.

"Yes, yes, you don't care about me at all."

Shen Mingzhen covered her mouth and chuckled, probably because of her blood, but now she looks at Shen Mingzhu a little cute.

Shen Mingzhu has been accompanying Shen Mingzhen in the courtyard, a rare harmony between sisters, when Shen Mingzhen closed her eyes and fell asleep, Shen Mingzhu looked at the sleeping face and chuckled: "I'm really relieved, I'm not afraid that I will do something to you."

As he spoke, he put a blanket in his hand over Shen Mingzhen's body, Mingzhen, I hope we can always do this.
