Chapter 61: Revisiting the Past (1)
"General Song Xiao is also a military general, I don't know what you think of this uncle's words?" Although Shen Mingze is a scholar, he still respects Song Chenyu very much after all.
Meng Cai saw Shen Mingze talking to Song Chenyu, and he looked even more disdainful: "Don't you kid think that General Song will take care of you?" It's just a concubine in the Shen Mansion, and you still want to climb the Hou Mansion of Wu'an? ”
Song Chenyu looked at Shen Mingze's face that was somewhat similar to Shen Mingzhen, not to mention that he was Shen Mingzhen's younger brother, just in his previous life, he couldn't let it go if he did it for Shen Mingzhen.
"Although I have a clear distinction between the concubines and the concubines, if the concubines are talented, they can naturally be added to the rank and become a knight, but I don't know what kind of person this person is, and he actually looks down on the famous little genius of Qingsong Academy so much?"
Zheng Fei naturally also saw that Song Chenyu wanted to help, and as a Wenchen, he naturally wanted to speak.
The expression on Meng Cai's face instantly became ugly, he originally thought that Song Chenyu and Zheng Fei were just here because of their feelings, but now it seems that they are indeed taking more care of the Shen Mansion, but if he is allowed to give up, how can he swallow this breath.
"What Qingsong Academy, it's just a group of literati who shirk it, in my opinion, it's just a group of old men who hold books and shake their heads all day long."
"I don't know what the basis for this uncle to say this."
Shen Mingze smiled gently, as if he was not moving.
"On the basis? You nerds know all day long that you can get ink in the dance, and if you are thrown to the front line, you will be beheaded before you take two steps. ”
Meng Cai's words annoyed many literati present, and they were waiting for Meng Cai to eat him.
"This Master Meng, who looks down on us literati and ink writers so much, why is he still sitting here, this is the birthday banquet of the Wenchen family." An old man with a gray beard touched his beard and said.
Nowadays, the official family does not respect civil and military affairs too much, but more on personal merits, but the first emperor admired martial arts, so many old ministers looked down on literati.
"Hmph, if it weren't for General Song Xiao, who is rare here, a group of nerds who scratch their heads and make gestures, they can't even drink and eat meat at this banquet, it's a labor banquet."
Meng Cai saw that he had provoked public anger, and his voice was slightly quieter, and he naturally remembered what Meng Shilang had explained to him in the mansion.
"I think this uncle just has some misunderstanding of our bachelor, from literature and martial arts is just a specialization in the art industry, and each has its own strengths." Shen Mingze saw that Meng Cai stopped a little, and was naturally willing to give him a step, but it was not so simple.
"Come on, bring wine and meat to this Uncle Meng, and let him have a good time."
With a wave of his hand, the little servant went to bring the spirits, Shen Mingze arched his hand to Meng Cai and said: "It's just that the kid is not yet an adult, and it is inconvenient to drink, this uncle will just drink happily, although our Shen Mansion is not a big family, but the wine and meat are enough."
Meng Cai's face was green, and the wine jar in front of him was as big as his head, and he naturally drank it often, but he wouldn't drink it all in one go.
"What, Master Meng, you don't dare to drink it?" The eldest lord looked at it with interest, this Meng Cai has been chattering crookedly since he came to the banquet, and he was still a little restrained when Meng Shilang was there, but now Meng Shilang went out for a while and began to have seizures.
"Uncle Mo wants to say this, I think Uncle Meng can't get used to drinking such inferior wine." Shen Mingze stopped the eldest master and said with a smile.
The old man was stunned, how could he still help him speak, that guy couldn't drink it at first glance.
"That's right, it's not okay to think about making me drink so badly, is this your Shen family's hospitality?"
The smile on the corner of Shen Mingze's lips became more and more obvious, as if he had no temper.
"Uncle, can my nephew ask for the first-class daughter in your courtyard to let Uncle Meng enjoy himself."
The eldest lord thought of his high-quality daughter Hong, which was a pure brew, and he would usually get slightly drunk after only taking a small sip, and his eyes when he looked at Shen Mingze changed a little, this nephew was wilted and black inside.
"Come on, take out my daughter red and let Master Meng get over his drinking addiction."
Although the eldest master was a little sympathetic to Meng Cai, didn't he want to drink and eat meat? Then let him be full of wine and food, but their Shen family couldn't get the water and wine.
Meng Cai was taken aback, Master Shen's daughter Hong is not an ordinary daughter Hong, the Shen family is naturally in business, Lord Shen's daughter is red is a strong wine over there at the border gate, and if you drink the whole jar, I am afraid that my stomach will burn through.
When Meng Shilang came back, he saw several jars of spirits piled up in front of Meng Cai, and there was a smiling young man standing next to the eldest master of the Shen family.
"What's the matter, it's not that I'm missing something." Although Meng Shilang was surprised in his heart, he still kept silent on his face, he didn't come here this time to offend the Shen family.
"Who is this little boy, why is he so blind."
"Big brother, you're back." Meng Cai breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to really drink the wine.
"What are you messing around with again, didn't you say you can't mess around in the Shen family?" Meng Shilang glared at Meng Cai and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Aren't I angry, the Shen family is too deceitful." Meng Cai has always been afraid of Meng Shilang, the eldest brother, he doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and he stops his pocket money when he is unhappy.
"Meng Shilang is back, come and see this cricket, it's not an ordinary spirit."
Seeing that Meng Shilang was back, Master Shen was no longer fighting crickets in the corner, he naturally heard the words outside, but that Meng Cai was not a good thing, he was just a thorn, and he didn't want to care.
"Shen Shilang is so interested, this cricket is indeed of the highest quality." Meng Shilang seemed to really understand, and there was a surprised expression on his face.
"It's just that the little brother came this time to ask this little girl..."
"I'll just say it, Zheng Gongzi's crickets are good, Meng Shilang Mo said the rest, let's take a good look at this superb cricket."
Master Shen interrupted Meng Shilang's words, and pulled him to look at the cricket with a smile.
Joke. His daughter almost killed his grandson, and he was counting on him to intercede for her, but there was no door.
In the back garden, the stage has been set up, and on the stage is the old lady's favorite overlord Farewell Concubine, Zheng Yuexin's most annoying thing is the drama of this demon, leaning on Shen Mingzhen and almost falling asleep.
"Mother, I'm afraid it's not good for Xin'er to rely on Miss Shen like this, why don't I go and call her back?" Zheng Yueru naturally observed Shen Mingzhen from time to time and said to Duchess Zheng Guo.
"No need, I think that Miss Shen Er is also a good one, Xin'er is willing to play with her, let her go." Duchess Zheng Guo saw that the two little girls were sticky and greasy for a while, and she felt funny, probably closing her eyes.
"In a moment, you can talk to Mrs. Shen Jia?" Duchess Zheng Guo thought of what she had just heard, patted Zheng Yueru's hand and said.
Zheng Yueru was stunned, what did she have to say to the lady of the Shen family.
"Don't listen to persuasion, then Mrs. Shen is the daughter of the former Shoufu, she was pampered and raised, listen to her a few more words, and you will be able to gain a foothold in your husband's family in the future." What kind of character is Duchess Zheng Guo, she naturally saw that Zheng Yueru was reluctant, and persuaded, "Don't you see that Shen Mingzhen was taught so well by that Sun family." ”
"My daughter knows." Zheng Yueru nodded and said that she knew, but her eyes looked at Shen Mingzhen with more and more disdain.
What if her mother is the daughter of the former Shoufu, in the end, it is the former Shoufu, and now she is not going to show up to study medicine.
"Don't go to sleep, your sister has seen you many times." Shen Mingzhen nodded Zheng Yuexin's forehead.
Zheng Yuexin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and yawned delicately: "She can see it, the big deal is to sue my mother, my mother can't control me, I am under my brother's control."
"In the end, it's not good, that's your mother, not those who have a deep hatred." Shen Mingzhen thought of the ending of Zheng Yuexin's last life, didn't she just like her?
"I think she looks more like Zheng Yueru's mother." Zheng Yuexin wrinkled her nose and pulled Shen Mingzhen to stand up.
"Let's go, let's go to the garden to breathe, this scene is a little boring."
Although the Shen Mansion is not big, there is still some distance between the seats, and Zheng Yuexin's words were only heard by Shen Mingzhen, and turned her head to look at Mrs. Sun and saw that she was watching the play with the old lady, so she walked out with Zheng Yuexin.
"Let's go to the front yard, my brother is in the front yard." Zheng Yuexin pulled Shen Mingzhen and thought of the front yard.
"No, the front yard is full of men, we are women, we will meet at dinner, there is no need to worry." Shen Mingzhen hurriedly pulled her down, what are you messing about, if this situation goes to the front yard, the reputation of the Shen family will fall again.
"But the scene of the demon on the woman's side, I can see that I am sleepy, or my brother's side is good at drinking and having fun, and I can also compete."
Zheng Yuexin saw that Shen Mingzhen naturally knew that it was impossible, so she went to the gazebo on the side to sit and hold her head.
"After a while, the guests will disperse, and they can sit there together, but it will only take half an hour, and so on."
Although Shen Mingzhen said that she would not be sleepy, she was also indifferent to the troupe, although this overlord Farewell Concubine was better than usual, but she had seen it in her previous life.
"That's all it takes, my brother told me, even General Song Xiao is here this time, he is notoriously not fond of being lively, it seems that Sister Mingzhen is not ordinarily attractive."
Zheng Yuexin said shyly, but she could see that if it wasn't for Shen Mingzhen, I was afraid that the Wu'an Hou Mansion would return the favor with a little silver.
"What nonsense are you talking about, it's just General Song's grace." Shen Mingzhen's face flushed, is this Zheng Guogong Mansion also so gossipy.
"Yes, yes, it's my nonsense." Zheng Yue was pleased to see Shen Mingzhen's rare red face, and she didn't dare to make fun of it.
On the garden path, a little guy ran panting.
"Second Miss, the master sent me to pass the word, so that you should be careful that the Meng family sisters go to the old lady's side." The little servant gasped and brought Master Shen's words over.
Shen Mingzhen frowned, "But what happened in the front yard?" ”
"The people of the Meng family made trouble in the front yard, but fortunately, the fourth young master was clever, but nothing happened, but the old man was afraid that the Meng family sisters would run to the old lady and disturb the old lady's purity."
"Got it, you go back and tell the master that I know what to do." Shen Mingzhen instructed Ziyu to reward a purse, and hurried back with Zheng Yuexin.
Zheng Yuexin also knew that the old lady was too sick to recover, and she was afraid that she couldn't delay.
"Old lady, Huaixiang knows that she is wrong, please ask the old lady to forgive Huaixiang."
Before he returned, he heard Meng Huaixiang crying, Shen Mingzhen's fists tightened, and it was too late to come back.
The old lady was sick and couldn't stand the joy and sorrow, and the whole house was hiding the fact that Shen Mingzhu almost had a miscarriage, and now it seems that she can't hide it.
"Mrs. Meng, what is your daughter crying and crying at our old lady's birthday banquet." The eldest lady was short-tempered, and she slapped the table and pointed at Mrs. Meng and said.
Mrs. Meng smiled, but did not speak.
On the contrary, it was Meng Huaihan, who was ruined next to Meng Huaixiang: "Old lady, my sister must not be disturbing you at your birthday banquet."
But he was really forced to have no choice, Huaihan had the courage to beg the old lady to forgive. ”
"You also know that you are bold, and you dare to say it here?" Shen Mingzhen was really angry, she originally thought that the Meng family would be in front of her mother at most, but she didn't expect it to be at this birthday banquet.
Meng Huaihan narrowed her eyes, she only started to make trouble when she watched Shen Mingzhen go out, but she didn't expect to come back so soon.
"Mother, you can take your grandmother to the living room first, it's almost time for lunch now, just me and my aunt here."
The top priority is to separate the old lady before Meng Huaixiang starts to plead, and Mrs. Sun naturally knows what Shen Mingzhen means.
"I'll just take a look here and listen to where this Miss Meng family is sorry for our Shen family." The old lady shook off Mrs. Sun's hand, and saw the expression of Mingzhen girl, afraid that she had something to hide from her.
"Grandmother..."
"Don't persuade me, I know my body and I can hold it." The old lady looked at Meng Huaixiang who was kneeling below, and the young girl cried so much that it seemed that our Shen family was bullying people too much.
"The old lady is a benevolent, my sister just had some disputes with Mrs. Song, and she definitely has no intention of embarrassing the Song family, so please ask the old lady to intercede for us."
Meng Huaixiang choked up and said, these words were taught to her by Meng Huaihan, as long as she cried and cried pitifully, the people around her would definitely be biased towards the weak.
"What the hell is going on, our Shen family is a small family, and we can't control the affairs of the Marquis of Wu'an." The old lady saw that Meng Huaixiang was confused and couldn't speak clearly, so she naturally understood what she meant.
"It's just that I had some conflicts with Mrs. Song, the eldest lady in the second room of the Shen family, and the Song family put on small shoes for my father, this is just a small quarrel in the daughter's family, how can it be in the court." Meng Huaixiang wiped her tears, but there was a little shadow of a little white flower, "Could it be that our Meng family can be bullied by others with a light word?" ”
