Chapter 226: Trouble
Kyoto City is the same every day, because of Du Xuanmo's promotion and salary increase, many people's official positions have also changed, because of the marriage with the Liang family, Liang Zhengxin's available people have also been arranged. For a time, the Du family was already in the limelight in Kyoto City just by virtue of the location of Shangshutai.
"Stand high and fall far away, all of us in the family, if anyone dares to cause trouble, send it directly to the government!" Shen Shiliu has to call his family out for "ideological education" every day, and they all say that the prime minister's front three officials, their family has not yet reached that level, how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Du family, and I can't wait for the Du family to make something wrong.
The people below are also obedient, basically the old people in the family, knowing the temper of this hostess, as long as they don't cause trouble, it's still a good thing to be an errand in this house.
Yin Qingqing had already married the year before last, and she also bought a place to live in Kyoto City, and many relatives in the Qin family's hometown also came to Qin Yushu, Qin Yushu also knew how to advance and retreat, and handled everything by herself, and did not think about coming to the Du family.
"I heard Sanfeng say a few days ago that he was about to leave the house, how did you arrange it?" Du Niangzi and Shen Shimei chatted, she is getting older and older now, and she doesn't care about the affairs at home, all of them are handled by Shen Shimei.
Shen Shiliu nodded: "I have already chosen a place, don't worry about it." At first, she thought about buying real estate, she helped Zheng Erzhu buy it, but Zheng Erzhu didn't agree, she had followed Shen Shimei out for so many years, and she had accumulated a lot, and she used to eat and live in other people's houses, but now she wants to go out and take charge of herself, and she can't let Shen Shiliu take money anymore, and he has the ability to buy real estate himself.
Du Niangzi remembered one thing and said, "Now that the two little ones have grown up, don't you think about rebirth?" "Although I already have grandchildren, the Du family's heirs are thin and the family is not prosperous, of course, it is best to have more children.
Shen Pomegranate was entangled, and there was a wry smile on his face, he didn't really want to give birth to a second time after giving birth once, there was a shadow. In the face of Du Niangzi's "suggestion", Shen Shiliu could only laugh and say nothing, which was very embarrassing.
Du Niangzi sighed: "I'm not forcing you, every time I talk about this, you are as uncomfortable as having a bug on your body." ”
"Mother, let it be." Shen Shiliu said, and this matter is not something that she can decide alone, Du Xuanmo seems to not want her to continue to give birth intentionally or unintentionally.
Du Niangzi said bitterly: "It is okay if the children have many brothers and sisters, Xuanmo has been one since he was a child, and now there are no brothers who can help, you gave birth to Ruoyao, and there will be Jingxi to protect this sister in the future, but thank you brothers and sisters for being more down-to-earth." ”
Shen Shiliu listened to Du Niangzi's persuasion and said, "Then let's go back and discuss." "I really said that she could give birth to her, and now that there is a man in the family, there is no great pressure to regenerate, whether it is a man or a woman.
Du Niangzi was relieved when she saw Shen Pomegranate, and felt that there was a chance that this thing could be done, and her son also listened to Shen Pomegranate.
When Du Xuanmo went home in the evening, Shen Shiliu said Du Niangzi's words.
"You don't have to take my mother's words to heart." Du Xuanmo said, in fact, Du Niangzi has said this to him many times, but now that he has both children and daughters, he doesn't want Shen Shimei to suffer again.
Shen Shiliu sighed: "Actually, think about it, if Ruoyao gets married in the future, I guess it won't be able to ease up for a while, and it would be better if I had two more children with me." She felt that she couldn't be too selfish, and she could see that Du Xuanmo liked children very much, even if she was busy with the affairs of the court, she would still find time to accompany her children.
Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Pomegranate had some thoughts, so he asked, "Do you really think so?" ”
Shen Shiliu nodded, she used to always think about doing something when she was young, and she felt that giving birth to a child was a bad and troublesome thing, but since she had a child, her mentality has all changed, although she sometimes gets angry when she worries about her child, but because of the child, she feels that life is a lot happier.
Du Xuanmo didn't look like Shen Shimei was being forced, so he said, "Then let it be, it's okay to have more children in the family." ”
Shen Shiliu smiled, feeling that he was just looking for abuse, but when he thought that the child would grow up slowly, he felt that many things were worth it.
The next day, Shen Pomegranate went out for a walk, she didn't have to worry about things at home, she would go to the street to wander around when she had time, the carriage was waiting at the intersection of the market, Shen Pomegranate took the cucumber and the iron to buy some fresh things, I heard that the southern Xinjiang came to worship, the emperor in order to show the majesty of the sky, specially allowed the merchants of southern Xinjiang to do business in Kyoto City for three months, and many ordinary people came to see the excitement.
"This thing in southern Xinjiang is really strange, and there are insects for sale!" Cucumber said.
Shen Shiliu glanced at it and said with a smile: "That insect should be a medicinal material, we don't understand, it is estimated that Lang Chinese medicine merchants like it!" ”
Shen Pomegranate saw some unique fabrics in southern Xinjiang, the textile craftsmanship of the fabrics was not the same as what she usually saw, the texture was thick to the touch, and the embroidery on it was also unique in style.
"What kind of embroidery this lady likes can be chosen at will, if there is a desired pattern, we provide customization!" The boss who sells cloth is very enthusiastic, and there are many dignitaries and wealthy people in Kyoto City, so they also have to hurry up and make money.
Shen Shiliu looked at it, and then said: "I want a stupid tent that feels better, as for the pattern, just use your characteristic pattern." "She likes the cultural style of southern Xinjiang, which is very exotic and mysterious.
"The gauze tent can be made, we have such a style, and the pattern can be selected here, but how big is the bed in the lady's house, we need to measure it." The boss said.
Shen Shiliu nodded, feeling that the service attitude of the businessmen in southern Xinjiang was really good, no worse than the modern service concept, so he said: "Okay, I'll come to you when I go home in a while, and I'll choose the style and pattern first." ”
The boss nodded, showed the pattern to Shen Pomegranate, and after Shen Pomegranate was selected, he continued to shop first.
There are many specialties in southern Xinjiang, Shen pomegranate bought a lot, some of which are for home use, such as tonic snacks, and some are ready to be kept for gifting, such as medicinal tobacco leaves and silverware with a strong style and taste.
"Young grandma, change it back." Xiao Tie saw that it was not too early to see the sky, and reminded.
Shen Shiliu saw that she really should go back, so she asked Xiao Tie to take the things back to the carriage first, and she and the cucumber bought some snacks and walked back slowly.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the stall that sold cloth art before, a person suddenly sprang out and hit Shen Shiliu directly, Shen Shimei was holding something in his hand, and before he could react, the things in his hand were all knocked out.
Shen Shiliu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the woman who hit the person, she was young, her eyes were bright, and her eyes were full of wildness. There are a lot of braids on his head, and he is embroidered with silver ornaments, which should be a native of southern Xinjiang. Just looking at a set of clothes, the price should not be cheap.
"How frizzy are you!" Shen Shiliu said a word, and then went to pick up things by herself, it was normal for many people to hit people, and she didn't take it too seriously.
Shen Shiliu was picking up something, but he was unhappy about hitting people, and said, "It's obvious that you didn't hold the thing yourself, why do you blame me?" Do you want to be a scoundrel? ”
"Hey!" Shen Shiliu stood up directly, and the cucumber quickly picked up everything, and then said to the woman who hit the person: "Why are you unreasonable, my young grandmother is generous, and she didn't say that she wanted to slander people, if you don't apologize, forget it, why do you beat a rake instead?" ”
The woman snorted coldly and said, "They all say that you Central Plains people are treacherous, who knows if you are pretending to be generous?" ”
The cucumber was angry and wanted to go up to teach this woman from southern Xinjiang a lesson, but was stopped by Shen Shimei and said: "Forget it, she doesn't look very old, she shouldn't understand the etiquette of the Central Plains, what are you talking about with her?" Shen Shimei's words seemed to be blocking the cucumber, but in fact, he also scolded the southern Xinjiang woman opposite.
As soon as the woman heard that Shen Shiliu was so smooth, she scolded her, and she didn't give up her share, and with a shake of the horsewhip in her hand, she was about to hit Shen Shimei.
"Young grandma be careful!" The cucumber saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block it, and with a snap, the whip hit the cucumber, and the things in the cucumber's hand were also pumped away.
Shen Shiliu saw that the cucumber was beaten like this, and hurried to see how the people were doing. When I rolled up my sleeves, I saw a large patch of redness and swelling! Shen Shiliu was angry, and she had told her family not to cause trouble outside, but now that she looks at it, it's not that she doesn't want to cause trouble, with this unreasonable dog skin plaster, she wants to beat someone!
There were already a lot of people in the market, and the woman's whip was whipped, and she couldn't use it if she wanted to whip it again, so Shen Shimei went up and directly slapped the woman.
The woman also didn't expect someone to beat herself, so she was stunned for a moment, but then she also threw the whip and scuffled with Shen Pomegranate.
What kind of person is Shen Pomegranate, he has a lot of strength since he was a child, not to mention beating people, he has the strength to throw this woman out directly, the two of them hit a few times, and soon the woman was sat under Shen Pomegranate's body.
"Let you start beating people, make you stinky and shameless!" Shen Shiliu said and slapped the woman in the face twice, which made the southern Xinjiang woman cry.
Shen Shiliu saw that the lesson had also been learned, and it was not good to make trouble like this in front of everyone, so he got up, helped the cucumber to get up, picked up the things, and then hurried away under the guidance of everyone.
Xiao Tie came back to find someone after putting his things out at this time, and saw that the cucumber was sweating in pain.
"What's going on?" Xiao Tie asked anxiously.
"Go home first." Shen Shiliu said, although it is not broken skin, but it is so swollen that it is terrifying to look at.
The three of them went home first, and Shen Pomegranate took the bone-setting wine to the cucumber to rub the redness, swelling and blood clots first, and the cucumber grinned in pain.
"Alright, alright!" Shen Pomegranate finally spit out a layer of ointment, and the cold cucumber finally stopped crying out in pain.
Xiao Tie asked at this time: "What is going on?" Why did you get beaten? ”
Cucumber said indignantly: "I met a wild man in southern Xinjiang, who said that if he beats someone, he will beat someone, and I asked her to whip it!" You weren't there, or I'd have let you beat her all over the face! ”
Xiao Tie scratched her head, she wasn't there for a while, and this happened.
"Okay, I've fought too, you should also be angry!" Shen Shiliu said, I hope that the beating will pass like this.
As a result, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and when Du Xuanmo came back in the evening, he asked Shen Shimei: "Did you draw the princess of southern Xinjiang?" ”
"What?" Shen Pomegranate's brain went blank.
