Chapter 13: The Second Uncle's "Magic Stick"
For several days, Shen Ning was thinking about this matter, and he didn't have much interest in the clothes and jewelry of the Flower Dynasty Festival. Qiu Ge and Grasshopper didn't have any useful news. Although he was anxious, Shen Ning had nothing to do.
"I'll go that day anyway, there's really no way, so I'll keep following her." Unable to think of any good way for a while, Shen Ning had to comfort himself like this and wait for the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival to come.
During this period, he also went to Liuhe Courtyard to visit his sister-in-law Shen Anshi and his little nephew Shen Qingde. Shen An's family now has a son who is enough for everything, so when she saw Shen Ning, she was very happy to show what progress Shen Qingde had made today.
Shen Ning saw that Shen An's face was ruddy, it could be seen that Yuezi was sitting very well, and his little nephew was white, tender and chubby, and he would also smile, and he also drooled a puddle of saliva from time to time, which made Shen Ning laugh for a while, and the heaviness of the haze for a few days had subsided a lot.
In Songfeng Xuan, Shen Zeyuan and Shen Hu were also talking about the Flower Dynasty Festival. Songfeng Xuan is located in the northwest of the Shen Mansion, is their residence, Shen Zeyuan's favorite in his life, is the sound of the wind through the pine forest, hence the name.
"Yao'er is taken by her sister-in-law, so you don't have to worry too much. However, this is the first time that the Shen family has participated in such a gathering in recent years, so they still have to pay more attention, and tell Yao'er to follow Ning'er and them closely...... "Shen Zeyuan has also grown a beard over the years, so he habitually stroked his beard and said. Although he runs the household chores and deals with Zhuangzi and merchants a lot, he has an elegant appearance, which is similar to the temperament of his eldest brother Shen Zejing.
"Well, I don't have anything to worry about, I'm just nervous. My father has sent a lot of good medicinal herbs, why don't we send some to the old man and uncle? Shen Hu thought that there was not much to worry about, the children were still young, and there would be nothing to do with Shen Yu's, Shen Yu's was the most thoughtful, so he talked about other things. Shen Hu's mother's family is a businessman, engaged in the medicinal materials business for generations, and has been quite famous in the Jiangnan area over the years, and his father Hu Butu is the head of the Jiangnan Hu family's Anhetang. Although it is said that scholars and businessmen do not intermarry, Shen Huashan has a very good relationship with Hu Butu, and the two youngest daughters also like each other, so this marriage is a matter of course.
was able to marry into the Wu Yue Shen family, or the second son of Yan Zhiyan, and the Shen Hu family himself was also very satisfied. also has a lot of love and tolerance for Shen Zeyuan, although he has a concubine, and the concubine Wang also gave birth to a son to him, but she is not worried at all. Shen Hu himself has given birth to two sons and three daughters, not to mention that his status is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can move it, plus his mother's family is also powerful, Shen Hu has become more and more generous over the years, and he has not treated the Wang family harshly.
"Where did Le'er go crazy today?" As soon as he mentioned his eldest son, Shen Zeyuan had a headache, and Shen Hu's face on the side was a little unsightly. Shen Zeyuan himself has no talent for reading, has no interest in fame and fame, and has liked to interact with people since he was a child, and he is also extremely keen on general affairs, so he gave up his plan to become an official early and concentrate on taking charge of Shen Huashan's house. But he has a different view of his children, he hopes that they can be famous, especially his eldest son Shen Yule. Shen Yule has been smart since he was a child, he never forgets his reading, and he can even draw inferences from one another, even Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing said that the Shen family will have another person.
But, alas, alas, alas. Thinking of him, Shen Zeyuan sighed a few times. Shen Yule doesn't know when he began to like to read books on gossip and fortune telling, and he also used his talent in these books, and he has the posture of devoting all his energy to the endless fortune telling. In the past few years, he has become a little chattering, and from time to time he said to Shen Zeyuan: "Father, it is not appropriate to go out today, I am afraid of disaster...... I'll see if I can see what the plague is......" Before he finished speaking, he ran to flip through the book again; Or, intercepted Shen Hu's family, pointed to her newly worn jade hairpin and said, "Mother, take it off quickly, you are not suitable for wearing jade these days...... which made Shen Hu angry enough! Not to mention the words he said to his younger brothers and sisters, and the maids, after a long time, the family knew that Shen Zeyuan had a young master who could pinch and calculate, and Shen Yao was more direct and unceremoniously called his brother "God Stick".
Shen Zeyuan stopped him a few times, but after nothing worked, he went with him. If he is allowed to take the meritorious test, if he is chattering again, maybe it will bring disaster to the Shen family, so it is better to ignore it.
Shen Hu probably thought of this, and was a little embarrassed to speak, his own son was good, and he couldn't bear to criticize him, so he went with him, not to mention that she also had a son.
"Father's meaning is that next year, Ping'er will be put in the Guozi Prison to study and cultivate well." Shen Zeyuan told Shen Hu's plan about Shen Huashan's plan, and the couple turned a little pale, but fortunately, there was also the second son Shen Yuping, who was as smart as his eldest brother, but he was much more sensible than his eldest brother, and he was also on the right path of studying and becoming an official.
"The medicinal materials are there, you can send them at your discretion, those that are not easy to be damaged, you don't need to rush to send them out, they are stored in the warehouse, and they can be used for emergencies." Shen Zeyuan remembered Shen Hu's question just now, and replied with such a sentence, and the two said a few more things, so they didn't care.
On the second day, Shen Yao took her maid Zhiyun out of the hospital to Qingzhuju to find Shen Ning, ready to discuss the matter of the Flower Dynasty Festival with her, but she was intercepted by her eldest brother Shen Yule halfway, and she looked like she had important things to say and said solemnly.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Although Shen Yao is articulate, she knows that this eldest brother has always been very good to herself, except for some inconsistencies, everything else is very good, so she has a good relationship with this brother.
"Don't go to the Flower Dynasty Festival the day after tomorrow, I made a divination, the Shen family went to participate in the Flower Dynasty Festival this time is a hexagram, the water and mountains are in danger, it's better not to go, there is nothing to gain, I have to go to the eldest uncle, so that they don't go......" Shen Yule didn't finish speaking, he wanted to go to Shen Yu's family, planning to tell his divination, and persuade them not to go out.
"Brother, you stop!" Shen Yao saw that this brother was so unreliable, and he was really afraid that he would go to Shen Yu's family, so he was busy and stopped him. Even the maid Zhiyun had an expression that really said this, Shen Yao remembered what happened to this brother in the past, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Brother, you are fooling me with these things again, this is the first time I have participated in the Flower Dynasty Festival......" Shen Yao said and said, she began to get a little angry, and her eyes were a little red, this brother, when will you be serious?
"How can I be fooled, I have a basis for deducing! The way of divination is in harmony with heaven and earth, with the sun and the moon, with the four seasons, and with the ghosts and gods." Shen Yule saw that his sister had misunderstood his career, and saw that her eyes were also red, so he hurriedly explained, and said a lot ......of words.
Until Shen Yao couldn't stand it anymore and walked away, he was still talking to himself: "That's what the hexagram says, it's not wrong, why don't you believe me......"
"Is that really what my cousin said?" Inside the Qingzhu residence, Shen Ning looked at Shen Yao with a strange expression. When Shen Yao came to Qingzhuju, she couldn't help but tell Shen Ning and Shen Mi about her brother stopping her, and treated this matter as a joke. Shen Mi pursed her lips and smiled when she heard it, and Shen Ning asked the above sentence when she heard it.
"Yes, what kind of hexagram do you have to tell me, the lower and upper hexagrams are overlapped. Kan is water, Gen is mountain, and what do you say that the mountains are high and the water is deep, there are many difficulties, life is dangerous, and we stop when we see danger, and they also say that we don't have to go! He wanted to go to the eldest uncle, I stopped him, and he usually didn't look serious, no wonder his father and mother had a headache when he talked about it......" Shen Yao crackled and said a lot, and he felt that he had said too much, he stuck out his tongue mischievously, and said at the end: "Regardless of him, let's talk about the Hua Dynasty Festival, how do you say other girls will dress up......
Shen Ning's mind was aroused by Shen Yao's words, in fact, this cousin is really capable of divination. Not only can he tell that this Flower Dynasty Festival is a hexagram, but he also thinks of Chen Wanrou in his previous life, isn't it just right? I remembered that in my previous life, it was he who divined the fire of the Qin'an Palace, which allowed Shangguan Changzhi to take the lead. It's just that this cousin is still young now, and he just found relevant books to read, although he can divinate the approximate bad luck, but he can only follow the hexagram and say it directly, which is also because he is not proficient in learning, so he always gives people the impression of talking nonsense.
Time, it still takes time, Shen Ning thought, listening to Shen Yao say loudly and laugh quietly with Shen Mi. Isn't it clear that there is merit in life, and I should believe that this cousin's creation is more than that.
In the evening, Shen Huashan and the others also knew what Shen Yule said to Shen Yao, and everyone reacted differently. Shen Zeyuan and Shen Hu are already numb, and this son will come to such a show from time to time, so they will watch it as a joke, wash and sleep, what to do and what to do. Shen Zeyuan remembered that he would ask Yan Shang to escort them to the banquet tomorrow, and then thought about how to go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing tomorrow, or wait for them to participate in the Flower Dynasty Festival at home; Shen Hu remembered her medicinal materials, which ones were to be put into the warehouse, and remembered that this time there was an old ginseng that was very good, and he would send it to the old man in a few days......
After Shen Yu's listen, he first smiled, thinking that this nephew was also a maverick, and then he became serious, and then carefully checked to see if there was anything wrong or missing, and discussed with Mama Yu for a while, and even Shen Zejing stayed at Aunt He's place, in order not to affect Shen Yu's family.
Shen Huashan thought a little more. Shen Yule is younger than Shen Yuhong, and he is also very clever and studious when he is young, he thought that the Shen family would have another person who is an official, but when he grew up, he deviated from this way. In this case, it can't be said that "it's not necessarily good to be young", but he really likes these and has unusual hobbies. Shen Huashan was able to let Shen Zeyuan marry the Hu family, who was born in a businessman, so naturally he would not be dissatisfied with Shen Yule's behavior. Parents should plan for the long term of their children, and those who are grandfathers should also plan for the long term of their grandchildren. When the servants saw Shen Yule like this, they smiled and passed, but Shen Huashan was the head of the Shen family, so of course he thought more than that.
It seems that from time to time I have to find the old ghost of Si Tianjian to come out for a drink. Shen Huashan thought before going to bed.
