The sky was low, and the clouds covered the sun.

Shen Mansion, large study.

Shen Ye looked at the red lacquer carved wooden door in front of him, remembered his childhood self, heard the gossip, argued out of date, pushed open the door several times, and ran in to find his father to make the decision......

However, only endless indifference awaited him.

The expression is cold, the words are cold, and the eyes are disgusted......

The admiration for my father when I was a child has accumulated over time and has been worn out little by little......

"Young Master, the master is waiting inside. Hurry up and get in! The butler said respectfully, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, and bowed to the side.

Shen Ye chuckled, his eyes were like torches, and he walked steadily into the room.

Standing on the expensive and extravagant carpet, looking at the middle-aged man in a crimson round-necked robe not far away, the county magistrate shouted flatly, "Father." ”

Behind the wide and heavy desk, Xichuan Jiedu, who was carrying a letter, made Shen Zhai feel as if he had not heard it, until a letter was written completely, and he put down the Zihao pen unhurriedly, and then raised his eyes and looked at the tall figure in front of him.

"Sit down." Shen Zhai said lightly.

Shen Ye didn't move, "I don't know why my father came to me?" ”

Shen Zhai squinted his long and narrow eyes, looking at his stranger eldest son.

From the inside out, it has been reborn, and it is no longer the crying baby it used to be. He has become calm, not arrogant or impatient, both civil and military, and is the most suitable heir.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then a voice rang out.

"Have you ever thought about returning to Xingyuan Mansion to work?"

Shen Ye looked directly at his father's unfathomable gaze and responded: "I haven't been in Xingyuan Mansion, why do you want to come back and forth to serve here?" ”

Shen Zhai raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you complaining that I let you go to Meizhou in the first place?" ”

"My father misunderstood, and I didn't mean that." Shen Ye replied expressionlessly.

Shen Zhai looked at him and softened his tone a little, "You have made remarkable achievements in Meizhou in the past few years. In a few days, the appointment document will be issued, and you will be promoted to the history of Meizhou, and supervise the military affairs of Jiazhou, Yazhou, Lizhou, and Dezhou. ”

"My father's move was too ostentatious. All the four states south of Xichuan are under my jurisdiction, and I am afraid that the people will not be convinced. Shen Ye's face did not change.

Shen Zhai replied disappreciatively, "This is something you should worry about. How to govern complicated states and counties, I think you also have a lot of experience. ”

Shen Ye was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to respond: "Yes, father." ”

Shen Zhai stood up, picked up a letter written on the table, walked around the desk, walked to the county magistrate, handed the envelope over, and said, "Tomorrow, you will take this letter and a few gifts to visit Lord Yin Liu." ”

Shen Ye took the letter and asked, "I don't know why my father asked me to visit Lord Liu?" ”

Shen Zhai smiled lightly, "Because he is about to be your father-in-law." Lord Liu is willing to marry his second daughter Liu Yun to you as his wife. ”

Shen Ye was immediately furious when he heard this, and asked: "My father planned in every way, did he even count my family affairs?" ”

Shen Zhai sat down on the circle chair, made a cup of tea by himself, and frowned unhappily when he heard the eldest son's question, "How can I calculate you?" Since ancient times, the order of parents, the words of matchmakers. You have been single for so many years, and if you don't marry a wife, where will the incense come from? ”

Shen Ye snorted coldly, "When will the Shen family's incense need me to inherit it!" ”

Shen Zhai slammed the tea cup he picked up on the table and scolded him coldly, "What are you talking nonsense about!" The incense of the Shen family is not inherited by you, so who will you find for your father! As the eldest son, it is your responsibility to inherit the incense! ”

Shen Ye looked at the Jiedu envoy sitting at the table, sneered, and asked, "The eldest son? Liability? My father's sudden remarks today were refreshing to me. ”

Shen Zhai looked at his eldest son with a sad and indignant expression, his face softened, and said, "Even if your father neglected you a lot in the past, you are always the eldest young master of the Shen Mansion, this is a fact that no one can change. ”

Shen Ye looked at him without saying a word.

A fact that can't be changed? That's what he hates the most, right?

Shen Zhai said again: "My father has worked hard for all these years, and I have no time to take care of the inner courtyard, so I have a lot of omissions for you. But it's yours, and there will never be a shortage of stars in the future. ”

"When my father talks about this now, he just wants me to admit this family business." Shen Ye said loudly, "However, I have never liked to get involved in my father's great business. In this family transaction, it is better for my father to find someone else to complete it! ”

Shen Zhai raised his eyebrows and asked coldly, "You really don't recognize this family business?" ”

"Don't admit it!" Shen Ye looked at his father fearlessly.

Shen Zhai became angry and shouted: "This family business, you have to admit it if you don't recognize it!" The choice is yours! I must go to Liu's Mansion tomorrow to meet Fu Yin. ”

Shen Ye didn't look surprised at all, "I'm not going." ”

"Presumptuous!" Shen Zhai said angrily, "Liu Hongji helped his father all the way, and forming an in-law is a reward for the Liu family. How can you be so pushy? ”

Shen Ye sneered, "Willful? I'm afraid it's ruined my father's good deeds, right? I am not the only young master in the Shen Mansion, if my father has to marry the Liu family, he will change to a son. ”

Looking at Shen Zhai's silent expression, he turned to ask, "Could it be that my father is reluctant to let the second or third brother feed the tiger with his body, so he can only sacrifice me, the eldest son of the Shen Mansion?" ”

Shen Zhai threw off his robe, stood with his hands in his hands, and reprimanded: "What nonsense! You speculate so much about your father's heart, and where do you put your father's face! ”

"Since I'm speculating, what's the point of my father going to someone else?" Shen Ye asked rhetorically.

Shen Zhai shouted: "It was the eldest son of the Shen Mansion who was set at the beginning, but now that he has been replaced, how can he save face for his father?" ”

"Why didn't you tell me when it was decided?" Shen Ye asked, "Now that my father's great cause has been accomplished, when he fulfills his promise, he thinks of me, what do you think of me?" A tool? Or a piece of cargo? ”

Shen Zhai raised his eyebrows coldly, was furious, and scolded: "Rebel! How dare you speak to the Father like this? ”

Looking at the eldest son's sarcastic and fearless eyes, Shen Zhaiqiang persuaded according to his anger: "When will my father trade you as a commodity and others?" The family matter set with Liu Fu was discussed with your mother. She personally passed the school for Miss Liufu, saying that her appearance and character are compatible with you, and she agreed to marry this family business for her father. ”

"Mother?" Shen Ye asked rhetorically, "My Shen Ye's only mother died of illness fifteen years ago. Where did the mother come from now? She is my father's stepfamily, but not my mother! ”

Shen Zhai was furious, pointed at his eldest son and scolded: "You are so disobedient and unfilial, you don't recognize your parents, do you want to rebel?" ”

Shen Yeqiang calmed down, took a step back, and bowed his hand: "I never thought of rebelling against the sky. I also asked my father to calm his anger and take care of his health. No matter what my father decides, I will not admit it. ”

After speaking, he saluted very respectfully, turned around and strode out the door.

Shen Zhai glared angrily at the back of his eldest son who turned to leave, picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it on the ground, and said hatefully: "Rebel! Unfilial son! ”

The jade-colored tea cup hit the ground and turned over, shattering in response, and suddenly leaving a place of tea and broken porcelain......
