Chapter 129: The Responsibility of the Scholars (1st Update)
Shen Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Although I was promoted to the rank of official because of the matter of saving the prince, I don't know anything about military affairs in the end, so I want to go out and do some practical things. I am the eldest son, and I cannot always live under my father's wing. ”
Speaking of the four of them, it is clear that their mother Lu Ping is a general, and she is also hard-natured, otherwise she would not have forced Shen Yao to marry her, but he and Qin Niang are both soft, Qin Niang is a woman, so it doesn't matter.
But he is the eldest son, if he doesn't refine himself into an iron wall, how can he shelter his younger siblings from the wind and rain in the future and support the Shen family's court?
He thought about it for a long time before he made such a decision, but he was so tired that Qin Zhao would travel with him.
Shen Ze didn't speak, but his fingers unconsciously knocked on the table.
Eighteen Niang looked at it, and couldn't help but be a little funny, this bloodline is really a magical thing, she and Shen Ze not only look alike, but even have almost the same habits.
"It's fine, but we still need to plan carefully where to put it out. You wait a little longer. ”
Shen Yao still wanted to say something, but finally endured it and nodded, and all of a sudden, no one dared to speak at the table. Soon the New Year's dinner ran out in a strange atmosphere. Then they all went to their respective courtyards to keep a New Year's Greeting.
The eighteenth brother and sister had already made an appointment to spend time in her plum hunting courtyard this year, and when they returned to the courtyard, it was as if they had come to life. The copper pot rests on a small stove and boils until it is bubbling and steaming.
The mutton was thinly cut and rolled into flowers, only lightly scalded until it changed color, and then turned into the sesame oil dipping sauce, which was so delicious that it was delicious.
Shen Ting took a sip, took another sip of wine, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "This is food, looking at Shen Yu's black face, I can't even eat." I'm so happy today, you don't know how aggrieved I have been in this Chang'an City, now it's okay, when I marry Cheng Chuying, I can go to the border. ”
Shen Lang gave him a blank look: "Do you know why your father asked you to go to the border gate?" ”
Shen Ting shook his head, "I'm also strange, he didn't look at me in the past, and he still smoked me, so he changed sex." ”
"Because the fool staying in Chang'an will only cause him a lot of trouble, marrying Cheng Chuying, stabbing the basket in the army, and letting your father-in-law carry it, it will save more trouble!"
Shen Ting angrily snatched the meat from Shen Lang's bowl and swallowed it in one gulp, "Don't look at you a few days older than me, I won't dare to smoke your stinky mouth." However, this time I think you have some point, so I said how could he be so good to me. ”
After speaking, Shen Lang glanced at Shen Qin again, if her father married her far away, no one would hold back the eldest brother.
The smart high marriage is in front of you, it is the help of the family, and the stupid low marriage to the distance, at least it will not drag down the family, even if you are stupid and do bad things, the family can hold it. If he has a daughter in the future, he will do this, so as not to burden the eldest brother.
It's just that the eldest brother is actually going to be released, and he is going to Caoyun to be managed by Xiao Che, he really can't even think about it.
"Big brother, do you really want to go out? Put it out well, good men are determined to ...... in all directions"
Shen Yao smiled, "If jade is not cut, speaking of which, I haven't left Chang'an for many years, and it's time to stand up on my own." The county lord is quite prestigious, and we are all older, so it is good to respect her, which may not be a good thing for us. Qin Niang is at home, learn more from her, but if she learns a few points, she also has the ability to settle down. ”
Shen Qin's eyes were red, she nodded, and couldn't help but say: "At that time, when the eighteenth is married, my brother and sister-in-law will be gone, and only I will be left ......."
"Isn't there still Alang? And Eighteen Niang is in Chang'an City, if there is something to find her, it is. ”
Shen Lang saw Shen Yao mention himself, and nodded with a smile. As soon as he turned around, he glared fiercely at Qin Niang.
After eating the shabu-shabu pot, Nanzhi cut some honeydew melons, put a plate full of southern oranges, and the red Ludi fresh fruits, cut them into small pieces, and poked them with silver sticks, which was very tempting.
Eighteen Niang stood up and smiled, "My brother and sister-in-law are running out and pushing Pai Gow first, and I'll go and send some fruit to my father." ”
When he arrived at the study, Shen Ze was sitting at the table alone and writing hard, and the carbon in the brazier was almost burned out, and he didn't notice it.
Eighteen Niang walked over gently, opened the food box, put it on the small table on the side, and called Nanzhi to add carbon and change the hot water, which let her go out and cover the door.
Shen Ze put down his pen and said, "I know you're coming, just ask whatever you want." ”
"Daddy, what did Li Ziqi say to you, it made you feel like a different person. In the past, Xu Wu begged to marry his sister, but his father was reluctant to marry a military general, and the Shen family was scholarly for generations, mostly civil officials, so it made sense to avoid suspicion. But today, my father asked my brother to marry Cheng Chuying, why is this? My father didn't intend to remarry before, that is, what kind of family lady couldn't marry if he married a wife, why did he choose the **** county lord? Then there is Ah Lang, why did his father let him get involved in the matter of Cao Yun, what is the plan? ”
Shen Ze took a slice of melon and took a bite.
"Eighteen Niang, you think too much. Ah Ting is the Cheng family's own favorite, I have an old relationship with Zhijie, and it is difficult to refuse; The county lord was brokered by His Majesty, how dare I refuse? Ah Langwen can't do anything, he drinks flower wine every day, he doesn't rely on the Yue family, who else can he rely on. ”
It's because it looks very reasonable, it's unreasonable, because this person is Shen Ze! An old fox who dares to say that Da Chu is dead in front of His Majesty, and a person who will say to his daughter, then it's better to die.
Seeing Eighteen Niang's suspicious face, Shen Ze sighed.
"Your mother and Wu Gui are not what I want, and I even hate it. When I was a teenager, I was really attached to you. Later, I finally wanted to be a good father, but I found that good bamboo shoots are bad, and you all look crooked, none of you have a father, which is disappointing, but unfortunately my eighteen mothers are not men. ”
"Yao'er is intelligent, but soft-hearted and visionless; Yu'er is good at drilling, but she is narrow-minded and stupid, and she is a concubine with no hope for the future; Lang'er is brave and strategic, but awkward and unintentional, and has no intention of improving; The court is good at fighting, but he is as stupid as a pig and can only be a reckless man, and he can't become a climate; Rui'er has a bad temperament, so don't mention it. ”
Eighteen Niang was a little embarrassed. It turned out that Shen Ze looked at his sons like this.
"Look at Qin Niang again, she is weak and boneless, and she will ruin my Shen family's court, it is better to die clean. Eighteen Niang, you are most like me, bold and resourceful, no matter where you are, you are not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, but unfortunately you are a woman in the end, and you can't jump out of the frame of the back house. If you can see your father through the eyes of a nobleman, you will know your father's painstaking efforts. ”
"If you stare at your feet, you can only see mountains and rivers; If you jump out and look, you can see the whole world. Do you understand? The children of wealthy families are born without worrying about food and clothing, but it is ridiculous that they are fighting to the death for these. The rise and fall of the dynasty, the inheritance of the family, and the continuation of the people, this is what the family should see, as a responsibility of a clan. ”
"This is also what you, Eighteen Niang, as my Shen Ze's daughter and as the wife of Li Ziqi, should see."
Eighteen Niang only felt that her entire back was full of sweat, and her clothes were already soaked. She squirmed her lips, her eyes were shining, and she bowed to Shen Ze, "Father, I understand!" ”
Shen Ze narrowed his eyes, looked at Eighteen Niang and smiled, "That's very good." ”
