Chapter 694: Brother Comes Home
"Princess, this morning Shoukang Palace sent someone to deliver a letter," After sending Shu Ziping back, Xue Ying remembered what happened this morning, "At that time, you hadn't gotten up yet, and the little eunuch said that it was not a very urgent matter, so the slave and maid put it away...... I almost forgot about it. ”
As he spoke, Xue Ying found the letter and handed it to Shi Qingqian.
Shoukang Palace is where Concubine Tang lives, obviously this letter was sent by Concubine Tang, Shi Qingqian and Shen Shu looked at each other, and their minds were wondering what kind of moth this Concubine Tang was doing.
When Zhan Xin looked at it, he realized that it was just an ordinary letter. Shi Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then continued to watch.
"Lady, how's that?" Shen Shu asked softly.
After reading it, Shi Qingqian put down the letterhead, and there was no particularly big wave in his emotions, "It was the concubine Niangniang who heard about Liu Tinghe, and because she had a lot to say, she wrote a letter directly, but she just asked how Tinghe's situation was, and by the way, ...... Remind me that the Wei family, who is good friends with her, is Liu Tinghe's aunt. ”
It sounds like concern, but in fact, it is a warning to Shi Qingqian - Liu Tinghe is also half of the Shoukang Palace.
Shi Qingqian understood Concubine Tang's thoughts, but she just watched Liu Tinghe compete with herself, she came in and flowed back into the muddy water to make this scene more stale. Because of this, Shi Qingqian had to pay more attention to the faces of the Wei family and Concubine Tang.
Therefore, some people are just too idle, and Concubine Tang must have felt that there are fewer disputes in the harem now, and she has nothing to do herself, so she wants to make their Yanwang Mansion unpeaceful.
Shen Shu had already finished reading the contents of the letterhead, sneered, and said, "Heh, Concubine Niangniang is idle and has nothing to do?" Does my lady really have to force her to be a soft and glutinous little sheep? ”
Shi Qingqian took the bird's nest brought by Xue Ying, put it into his mouth a little, and said, "Hey, what do you mean by forced?" Your lady has always been docile and virtuous, and she is reluctant to kill even a grasshopper. But then again, the concubine is angry with me, afraid that you and I will threaten the emperor and the queen's position in the future. ”
The death of his brother and his brother's succession has not happened, according to common sense, Shen Shu's position should be named 'prince', which means that he will take over as soon as the emperor dies, but Shen Mi is still young after all, and he will have a lot of heirs by his side in the future, and Shen Shu himself has no other thoughts about the throne, so he doesn't care about the matter of the prince.
Now Shen Mi's Ji'er is still young, and there are still some concubines in the harem with big bellies, and it stands to reason that the throne will not be Shen Shu's turn, but Concubine Tang still treats him as a high-ranking master.
Shi Qingqian expressed grievances and protests against this, she admitted the 'meritorious achievement', but she was really helpless, who let her husband have the ability to do anything, but she refused to recognize the word 'cover master' - the master of the family Shen Mi still didn't say anything, this Tang Concubine was in a hurry to sow discord.
Back then, Shi Qingqian also felt that Concubine Tang was a soft-hearted old man, and the court needed her to suppress the position, and she would live her own life. As a result, I didn't think that people would become, and in the past, Concubine Tang has now begun to camp.
Although—Shi Qingqian didn't know what the need for these drill camps was.
Shen Shu said that he would not let Shi Qingqian pay attention to the affairs in the palace, and he would stand up to the sky when it fell, and the top priority was to take care of the fetus. On the second day, Shi Qingqian heard that Shen Shu didn't know where to find an opera troupe to enter the palace and sent it to Shoukang Palace.
I don't know, they all say that Shen Shu has a heart, and even the concubine doesn't forget to take care of it from time to time. I know, especially the people in Shoukang Palace, all the troupes who are beating gongs, drums and heels are pale, and it is not good to rush out in front of Shen Shu and Shen Mi, so they can only listen to them noisy here, and they can't rest well at noon.
Shi Qingqian, who heard about this, laughed so much at home that Shen Shu was secretly scolding Concubine Tang for being troublesome, telling her that if she was too idle, she would look at the tricks of the troupe, and don't disturb my lady's life again.
Shi Qingqian, who was far away in the Yan Palace, could almost imagine Concubine Tang's ugly face.
This matter is temporary, when the first snow just fell in winter this year, Shi An took Xi . Sister Manwan of the family and Shi Nian, who hadn't seen her for many years, came back together.
After going out for so many years, Shi An has not been home for a long time, let alone his eldest brother Shi Nian, there has been no news for a long time.
In this era, the carriage and horses are slow, and it takes a month or two for a letter to be delivered, Shi Nian traveled around to study, and at first he would write a letter home after a while, but there was no news in the past two years, as if this person had never appeared.
The heirs of the Hou Mansion are scarce, only the second Shi Ke has the most time at home, and he is now considered a general, and he doesn't need to go out to defend these days, so he stays at home for a while. The two sons of the second and third rooms are often not at home, and they are also idle, and the huge Hou Mansion is particularly deserted.
However, Shi An's return this time really made the Hou Mansion completely lively.
I heard that Shi An met Shi Nian by chance when he was in business, and the two brothers discussed it, and finally realized that it was time to go home-
Coincidentally, this year's sister-in-law came to the world, Shen Mi made an exception to take an additional imperial examination, and Shi Nian rushed back to participate in this imperial examination.
Shi Nian said that if he couldn't get famous, he would turn around and leave the capital, and he would definitely not have the face to meet the family members in the Hou Mansion, but fortunately, he was on the list and ranked third, so he had the confidence to go home.
Shi An's side, after separating from Shi Nian, he finally ran a single business, and when he came home after the run, he just caught up with the list, which is good, the two brothers came back together, one with his daughter-in-law, and the other with fame, which made the entire Hou Mansion lively.
Shi Shu was naturally the first to rush back to the Hou Mansion to meet his two brothers who had not seen him for many years, and Shen Shu was also going to go, but unfortunately something in the palace ordered him in, Shen Shu was really relieved, so he had to leave an attendant named Fan Sanye for Shi Qingqian to send.
This Third Master of the Buddha used to be a butcher for a period of time, the whole person is tall and strong, with a fried beard, and he is not easy to mess with at first glance, but Shen Shu is kind to this person, although the Third Master of the Buddha does not say a word with a cold face on weekdays, but he is very good at kung fu and is loyal to Shen Shu.
Shen Shu couldn't accompany him when he left the palace this time, so it was better to leave the third master of the fan by Shi Qingqian's side.
Shi Qingqian gratefully took over the Third Master and took Xiaolian and Xue Ying back to the Hou Mansion together.
