A touch of red morning and sunset slowly rises above the horizon

Shen Ping woke up quietly, his cloudy eyes slowly looked at the people around the bed, his eyes gradually dimmed, closed for a long time, opened again, and said with a sad and solemn face: "Come on, change my clothes for me!" ”

Shen Jun knelt down and said with a sad face: "Father, what happened?" How could a good Praetorian Guard surround our Shen family? ”

Shen Ping didn't answer and asked, "How is it outside?" ”

Shen Jun hurriedly said: "The Praetorian Guards are so tightly surrounded that no one can get out, and no news can be found." ”

"Where is Feng'er?"

Shen Feng hurriedly stepped forward, took his grandfather's hand and said, "Grandfather, Feng'er is here." ”

"Good boy, are there any officers and soldiers outside that you are familiar with?"

Shen Feng thought for a moment and said, "My grandson has seen it, and one of the lieutenants has a little friendship with my grandson. ”

Shen Ping said unhurriedly: "Very good, you take the silver and go and beg him." Just said, I'm dying, I need to be sent to the old lady of the Xiao family for treatment. Please ask him to be accommodating for the sake of your filial piety. If he is not at ease, he can only send someone to follow. ”

Shen Feng's heart ached, although he didn't know what to do, he wiped a handful of tears and said: "Grandfather, I'll come when I go, you wait for my good news!" ”

After a cup of tea, Shen Feng went and returned, and said with a happy face: "Grandfather, I finally relieved after asking for a lot, but I ......"

"It's just that they have to send someone to follow, and they can't leave their sight for a moment." Shen Feng hung his head and said.

Shen Ping hurriedly said: "Just let them follow, quickly." Quick, change my clothes! Feng'er followed, and the eldest man stayed in the mansion. ”

Where can Shen Jun let go of his father. Busy said: "Father, I'll go with you!" ”

Shen Ping looked at him slowly, his gaze gloomy and sharp. Shen Jun hurriedly changed his words and said, "Father, I'll dress you!" ”

……

At two o'clock, a carriage came out of the back door of the Shen Mansion, and the driver shouted softly, and the carriage sped up. Around the carriage. Eight sword-wielding soldiers in armor followed closely on horseback.

Half an hour later, the door of the Xiao family was knocked on with a bang, but there were only a few knocks. A crack opened in the door.

"Who's coming?"

"The Shen family in the capital, ask the old lady doctor to see my grandfather."

The door creaked open, and Jiang looked at the person again, thinking about the grandmother's explanation. Hurriedly said: "Come with me." ”

Shen Feng raised the old lady with his back. Immediately entered the Jiang Mansion, and the eight guards were neatly aligned, not leaving the ancestors and grandsons.

Jiang Zhong didn't say a word, and ordered the little servant to close the door and lead everyone inside. In a blink of an eye, he has entered a remote courtyard in Xiao Mansion.

……

In the silent courtyard, a woman dressed in a white cloak, awe-inspiring, standing with her back under the begonia tree.

Hear the sound. The woman turned slowly.

The group stood still, staring blankly at the picturesque woman in front of them.

Shen Ping raised his head and took a closer look. There were tears in his eyes.

Xin Yao stepped forward and showed the jade wrench to the eight soldiers, and the faces of the eight people were shocked.

"You are waiting here!"

The leading officers and soldiers accepted their expressions, respectfully clenched their fists and said, "Yes!" ”

"Steward, prepare some tea and snacks for them."

Without waiting for Jiang Zhong to answer, Xin Yao quickly turned her face and said to Shen Feng, who was dazed, "You, follow me into the house." ”

Shen Feng saw that although the woman in front of him looked haggard and her eyes were swollen, she was full of momentum, and couldn't help but follow her.

After taking two steps, I realized that the jade wrench finger shown by the woman just now was a token of the new emperor's order to the Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Guard, and I couldn't help but wonder. Looking at the woman's gaze again, it was a little different.

Shen Ping stood upright in the hall holding his grandson's hand with a trembling hand, staring at Jiang Xinyao tightly.

He suddenly took two quick steps, his legs bent and wanted to kneel, and Shen Feng on the side was shocked by the cold sweat and shouted: "Grandfather! Then he held on.

Xin Yao frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Shen Gongzi, help your grandfather sit down!" ”

Without waiting for Shen Ping to speak, he said, "Old lady, since Xin Yao can send you a letter and let you enter this door, she will not ignore it." The old lady doesn't have to kneel to me, it's important to get down to business! ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Ping's grandfather and grandson's faces changed.

Shen Ping looked up to the sky and sighed: "Girl, let's meet again!" This time, you're tired! ”

Weiyun quickly made tea and sent it to everyone, standing behind Xin Yao with low eyebrows.

Xin Yao looked at the old man in front of her with gentle eyes, and said with a light smile: "The old lady's demeanor is still the same, but the words are a little inappropriate, a word 'labor', if it is replaced by the word 'want', it is very good!" Let's sit down and talk. ”

Shen Ping almost wanted to burst into tears, but he couldn't hold back.

He has lived for such a long time, he has seen countless people and countless things, how can he not know the weakness of human affection. The woman in front of him was the person he rejected from the Shen Mansion back then.

And now, she is the only one who can save the Shen family.

Seeing him sit down, Xin Yao said bluntly: "Old lady, the girl has never liked to turn around and wipe her feet, so she will say it bluntly when she has something to say." Cheng Da is the opposite, the old lady has the grace to save his life for this person, and the reason why King Ping dared to use him boldly was also because of the old lady. I didn't expect ......"

Although Shen Feng expected that tonight's incident would be extraordinary, he was still shocked by Xin Yao's words.

Xin Yao didn't wait for Shen Ping to answer, and said: "Old lady, what is the origin of Cheng Da, how old is this person, whether he can get married, where are his parents and brothers at home, how did you save him, can you solve Xin Yao's doubts one by one!" ”

Shen Ping's heart ached, and he slowly recalled: "I thought it was a sheep to repay my kindness, but I didn't know that I had a wolf." In the winter of that year, the first emperor had just ascended the throne for a year, and I was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. That year, on the winter solstice to worship the ancestors, King Qing did not appear for some reason. The Queen Mother was furious, and sent someone to inquire afterwards, and it turned out that the prince of Naqing was playing in the courtyard with more than a dozen young women. Therefore, the first emperor sent me to persuade me. ”

"The sacrifice is over, why did you send you to persuade you?"

"Three days after the winter solstice, it is a full year after the death of Emperor Tianshun. Qing Wangye is the only younger brother of Emperor Tianshun, such an important occasion. How can it not appear? ”

"And then?"

Halfway through the journey, the men found a man buried in the snow. When I saw that he was still breathing, I rescued him. The man was only about six or seven years old at the time. ”

"Around six or seven?" Jiang Xinyao whispered repeatedly.

Shen Ping paused and said, "When this child woke up, he cried and told that his parents were dead. I had been hungry for five days before I fainted halfway through. I saw that he was smart and clever, and his appearance was very delicate, and his heart was soft, so I brought him into the house to raise him. In his spare time, he also asked his subordinates to teach him some hand and foot skills. ”

"This person is Cheng Da?" Jiang Xinyao asked.

"It's him."

Shen Ping coughed twice and said, "After Cheng Da stayed in my mansion for five years, he said goodbye without saying goodbye. ”

"Why don't you say goodbye!"

"I didn't know it at the time. Four years later, he sent a letter saying that he had joined the army. Although I was annoyed that he didn't say goodbye, I thought he was more than ten years old. has such ambition, I can't help but think a little high, so I asked my old friends in the army to secretly take care of one or two. Later, I heard from a friend that this child was hard-working in the army. worked abnormally, so he cherished his talents. It is also this person who is strong in himself, although he is young, he has made many meritorious achievements. After more than ten years of stumbling in the army. He is already a fierce general under Zhao Hu. ”

Jiang Xinyao lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Old lady Shen is so helpful to this person, in addition to what I said above, I am afraid that there is ......"

"That's right!"

Shen Ping had a trace of remorse in his eyes, and said, "Girl, the reason why I helped this person is in addition to the fact that this person himself is a general. is also selfish, I think you know a thing or two. The old man thinks that he is not very accurate in seeing people. There are also eight points, who knows that it was originally a good chess game hidden, but it has become a dark sword that can reach the death of the Shen family. The old man really did it to himself, and he regretted not being at the beginning. ”

Strange Dao, when Shen Li could easily go to the army, Jiang Xinyao suddenly understood.

As the person at the helm of the Shen family, Old Lady Shen is a man with exquisite faces, and there are countless branches in his officialdom. At the beginning, saving people was just a gesture, but I didn't think about it, but I rescued the fierce general.

So while cherishing talents and loving talents, the old lady used his connections to secretly help along the way and bury a good chess for the Shen family. Whether it is King Han or King Jing sitting on the throne in the future, the old lady will be safe and sound with his friendship with Cheng Da.

I just didn't expect it......

Xin Yao pondered: "In this way, this Cheng Da should be fatherless and motherless, in his early thirties. ”

Shen Ping nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"Is there a match?"

Shen Ping thought for a while and said, "I should have gotten married in the army." ”

Xin Yao frowned and said, "Before the old lady brought someone to the mansion, did you send someone to inquire into the details of this person?" ”

Shen Ping said with praise in his eyes: "How can the old man be such a careless person." I have carefully probed the details of this person. This person was born in Chengjia Village on the outskirts of Beijing, and his parents, elder brothers, and sisters all died of the plague. This man had a big life and escaped, but he was regarded as a plague god by the people of the village, and he was driven out of the village, and his house was burned down by the villagers. Then I fainted on the way, and I was saved! ”

Jiang Xinyao hit the nail on the head and said: "In the big winter, where is the plague?" Does the old lady have something to think about? ”

Shen Ping thought about it vigorously, his eyes tightened, and he regretted it in his heart.

He sighed: "The Cheng family has passed away one after another, and the villagers are ignorant, so they say that it is a plague, and the people sent out by the old man to inquire will also reply according to their words. The old man thought that he was just a six or seven-year-old child, and he didn't delve into how to lie. Where to know...... Where to know...... The old man's fault is the old man's fault! ”

Shen Pingyan to the end, he had beaten his chest and feet, and the old tears were rampant.

Jiang Xinyao couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and comforted her: "How can you predict the danger of people's hearts? The old lady doesn't have to blame herself. Now the danger of the Shen family does not lie in your life-saving grace to Cheng Da, nor in your kindness to help him, but in whether the new emperor believes that Cheng Da's rebellion has nothing to do with the Shen family. ”

Shen Feng was shocked when he heard this, and he only felt that his body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and there was no temperature of half a minute.

Among the many crimes in the world, only one crime of rebellion is the most serious, and the light is to be beheaded all over the house, and the heavy is to punish the nine clans and the three clans. As long as the Shen family gets a little bit of it, it will be doomed. (To be continued.) )
