Chapter 54: Troubled Waters
muddy water
Shen Wen also echoed Shen Zheng and said with a smile, "What I'm saying is, not to mention my second brother, who doesn't like to study, look at Sister Cheng, Sister Mei, the two of them haven't enrolled in school yet, how can you enforce your wine order?" ”
An Zhou proposed, "Let's order it at will, take a domino, touch the one with the smallest number, and ask him to do something!" ”
An Shu drank the plum blossom wine in the cup in one gulp, and said with a smile, "This is good!" ”
These things are all prepared at home, and the maid brought a set of ivory and gold-painted dominoes, the tentacles are warm and delicate, and the auspicious cloud patterns are carved identically.
The dominoes will not, the points are always counted, and the brothers and sisters take their younger brothers and sisters, talking and laughing, eating and making trouble.
When the barbecue was finally cold, everyone stopped unsatisfied.
Shen Wen rubbed his face, "My smiling face is sour, this meat is hard, tell them to withdraw, let's sit down to eat tea and rest." ”
A few people answered, sat down and chatted by themselves.
Compared with the bustle of Qingkuanglou, there was silence in the house of the county lord of Feng'an.
Shen Shi ate tea slowly, and her eyes were still red when she cried when she met the second master of the Shen family, she had just told her plans to settle down, and the county lord of Feng'an had not spoken yet.
No one in the room dared to make a sound, and after a while, I heard the county lord of Feng'an, who was sitting at the top, sigh, "People are old...... You have to think about everything for a long time. ”
Shen hurriedly put down the teacup and walked to the Feng'an County Lord, "What did Mother say?" ”
"You've seen that girl, but it's good?"
"It's very good, although the temperament is strong, but it's not too rigid and easy to break."
The county lord of Feng'an nodded, "I think so, the person who can find the King of Wei has a good vision, although he is a step-by-step, but if he gives birth to the eldest son, it is not bad." ”
"You are my own daughter, what do we have to say between us?"
"King Wei is of foreign blood, it is impossible to succeed to the throne, the An family married his daughter to him, so there is no need to stand in line among the princes, this can at least keep the family safe for ten years."
"And he has a heavy army, if the saint who succeeds to the throne is jealous of him, then he will also be afraid of the An family, at this time, as long as the An family is separated, he can keep the second room, if the saint wants to win over, then the cousin of Princess Wei's mother's family is also the best reuse object."
"It's a good thing that does no harm."
Shen moved her lips, she didn't say that she promised An Qi that she would not split up, her mother has always looked down on the An family, she knows, but what An Qi asked for was nothing more than not being able to cut off the scholarly road of the big house, this, she can guarantee it, and there is no need to tell the county lord of Feng'an.
"But have you ever thought about ......?"
Listening to the Feng'an County Lord speaking again, Shen cheered up and listened.
"Have you ever wondered if King Wei is willing to be a prince? ......"The county lord of Feng'an touched Shen's hair, this is her youngest daughter, and she is also the most miserable daughter, she loves this daughter like her own heart.
"You don't know, when my mother was younger than you, she experienced the Eight Kings Rebellion, and sometimes I look at it coldly, and I only feel that the current situation is very similar to that time."
"The emperor is weak, the princes have big hearts, and when it comes to ascending the throne, it is not so much to see who is more justifiable, but to see whose fists are harder."
"If King Wei has that mind, what will you do?"
Shen raised her head slowly, her eyes were firm, the words of the county lord of Feng'an did not cause her panic, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"If it really comes to the point where the King of Wei, who is thousands of miles away, can come over and stir up the troubled waters, Jingli doesn't know what the chaos will be."
"Mother, you also said that at that time, no bloodline name is as good as a fist. Then I might as well put my life on King Wei, who has been stationed in the north for many years and has led troops. ”
The hand of the county lord of Feng'an paused slightly, "Have you thought about it?" ”
"Yes." Shen didn't say anything, and slowly knelt at the feet of the Feng'an County Lord.
"That's it......" The county lord of Feng'an personally helped Shen up, "Since you have chosen so, and you have returned to your mother's house to beg me, I can't refuse you." ”
The afterglow of the county lord of Feng'an swept over Pang Zi, who had been lowering his eyes, like a gourd with a sawed mouth, "It's just that I can't directly come forward for you to ask the Queen Mother for marriage, because I am not only your mother, I am also the mother of your eldest brother and second brother." ”
"The affairs of the Shen family, I have to think about them and think about them, I can't take them and you on the ship of King Wei without consulting them."
"But I should give you this matter, at the shortest time ago, at the latest spring, I will give you a result."
"Your eldest girl can't wait for her age."
Shen solemnly kowtowed, "Thank you, mother." ”
It wasn't until after this matter was discussed that Pang Zi seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and laughed lively, "Sister, get up quickly, the ground is cold, and my mother will be distressed." ”
"Speaking of which, when my sister came back, my mother took it to heart a month earlier, and I also laughed at our sister Wen for your sister's sister, starting Zhang Luo a day in advance, in fact, my mother started Zhang Luo for my sister three or five days ago! How else to talk about old children and small children? ”
"I told my sister that she loves crabs and should raise them first to spit out the sand, and that she went to the fisherman early to book fresh fish, and that the dried fresh vegetables should be soaked in snow water a few days in advance to be refreshing, and that she asked someone to pickle all kinds of side dishes that my sister loves and prepare to take them back......"
Ponzi laughed as he spoke, counting his fingers, "I really can't count them on one hand." ”
Shen also smiled embarrassedly, "The second sister-in-law is hurt by her mother every day, and she is embarrassed to talk about me, who just came back?" ”
The county lord of Feng'an listened to Pang Zi count with a smile, and remembered something again, "I remember that your sister loves to eat shrimp ball soup, why didn't you listen to you and prepare to go on?" ”
Pang Zi's laughter paused, and his eyes fell to the house on the east side of the main courtyard of Feng'an County, "Sister Tang Fei said that she can't smell that smell, and the kitchen is now less prepared." ”
"Although it is a big deal for my aunt and grandmother to come back, I have not affected everyone because she is a small person and does not eat."
"But my mother also knows Sister Fei'er's temperament, and she sees it on the table, but I'm afraid that my son will get sick in the next few days."
The county lord of Feng'an didn't speak for a long time, and finally could only sigh deeply, "Sister Fei'er looks like this, it's really ......"
Pang Zi looked at Shen Shi and said with a smile, "But I have already asked someone to pack the shrimp and bring it back to my sister to eat, and I also know that my sister is not short of this, it is nothing more than a piece of my heart to be my sister-in-law." ”
Shen also knew what happened back then, and he didn't want to open his mouth for a while, but he couldn't help but break the siege at this time, so he smiled and sighed, "Speaking of Qingyun back then, he was also a smart person, why is this daughter so temperamental now?" ”
Pang Zi didn't say much, just waved his hand, "Sister, don't ask me, you know, I never say much, don't ask or care about her affairs, just eat and drink for her, and lead the family to let her, this is not to see her face, nor to see her mother's face......"
