Chapter 2 Father and Son Scheming
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 479
I left the upper room and returned to Jintong Courtyard, but I saw that I hadn't seen each other for two or three years, and the courtyard had changed a lot. The first entry has not changed much, except that the moss on the ground is more solid, and the hundred-year-old sycamore is still lush, and it is still vigorous in this summer, covering most of the martial arts field.
The flowers and trees in the second entry are sparse, and the trees that were planted at the beginning of the marriage have grown into the climate at this moment, and a few small saplings are also slim and covered, which is quite eye-catching. Compared with when Wei Changying left, a few new flowers were added, and the small pond on the southeast corner was lined with dragonflies, and the insects and birds in the depths of the flowers and plants were very lively.
A brightly colored leather ball was thrown under the porch, as well as Luban locks, kites, spinning tops, tangrams, and four happy people...... A large pile of toys was apparently dropped in the middle of play.
Shen Zangfeng's gaze stopped on the toys that were thrown all over the corridor and messy, and his voice was not revealed-Shen Shuguang had already run to the flower bed very attentively and picked a bright moon flower, dedicated it to Wei Changying, and said flatteringly: "The child learned a word from Brother Lobby two days ago, called people are better than flowers, and I have never understood it, but I only know what it means when I see my mother today." ”
Wei Changying has always been beautiful and beautiful, and he is used to hearing the praise of others for his appearance, but what he said from his own son is different, and he has entered the courtyard at this moment, and there are no idlers around, so he picked up Shen Shuguang and kissed him again...... Shen Zangfeng looked coldly at this kid in every possible way, and said with a light smile: "It turns out that you have been thinking about the words of a person more delicate than Huajiao for a few days before you can understand?" ”
He didn't say anything threatening, but Shen Shuguang's whole body tightened, looked back at him vigilantly, turned his head and hugged his mother tighter.
Wei Changying noticed that the eldest son seemed to be afraid of her husband, and couldn't help but be suspicious - when the group entered the house, Wei Changying told Huang to work harder, accompany Shen Shuxie to his house, and wait for him to wake up and diagnose again.
…… Shen Zangfeng and her were separated for more than half a year, before this because she was pregnant, she had not had sex together for more than a year, and the young couple missed them so much that they ordered someone to take a good look at the two children, so they sandwiched their heels and went in.
After the two finished making love, they called someone to bring in the water to bathe again, and after getting up, they didn't want to look at things for a while, so they hugged each other and talked on the soft couch under the west window.
Wei Changying gently twisted her husband's cheek and said angrily, "How can I see that Guang'er seems to be afraid of you?" Aren't you going to treat him badly while I'm away? ”
"That's our own flesh and blood, can I still wronged him?" As soon as he mentioned this, Shen Zangfeng showed a sneer, and said helplessly, "You don't know that this kid - his father and mother didn't pay attention, so that he was taken by Ming'er." ”
"Why did Ming'er break the light?" Wei Changying was stunned and asked in surprise.
She doesn't know much about her eldest nephew Shen Shuming, she only knows that her nature is not bad, but she doesn't seem to be very attentive to reading. Although Shen Xuan and the Liu family are very strict with him, they have a loving father, Shen Zangli, who blindly dotes on his son, and often stops and protects him from heavy punishment. Shen Shuming thought to himself that he had his father's protection, so he didn't have to worry about it.
Before, Wei Changying thought that his eldest brother was really a woman's kindness, Shen Shuming was the eldest son of Dafang, or the eldest grandson of Ming Peitang, such an heir, no matter how distressed he was, could he relax? This is the son who will support the family business in the future! But after she had Shen Shuguang, she immediately abandoned this idea to the clouds - it was her own flesh and blood, not to mention beating, let's talk about it seriously, the child would have tears in her eyes...... Just thinking about it makes me feel distressed!
"You also know that Ming'er has never worked hard to study, and his father personally supervised the school examination." Shen Zangfeng sighed again and again when he mentioned this nephew who caused trouble for him, and said, "Didn't I say that I wanted to teach Guang'er something when I went to pick you up today?" Can't you be four years old and can't write your name? As a result, Guang'er usually plays with Ming'er, and after Ming'er found out, Xu thought of the situation when he was forced by his father and sister-in-law to learn things, so he added fuel and vinegar to Guang'er. As a result, Guang'er actually believed him, thinking that this enlightenment was such a tragic thing! ”
Wei Changying was dumbfounded when she heard this, and only said after a while: "Ming'er, this kid, how can he harm people like this!" Before Shen Shuguang could start learning anything, Shen Shuming frightened him. If it weren't for knowing that the Liu family was not such a stupid person, and Shen Shuming didn't seem to be a vicious person, Wei Changying really suspected that he was deliberately trying to trap his eldest son......
Shen Zangfeng said: "So enlighten Guang'er, I think it's better for me to come." ”
"You're coming?" Wei Changying frowned and said, "Guang'er is so afraid of you now......"
"It's because he's afraid that I'll enlighten him that he wants me to come." Shen Zangfeng quietly replaced "Guang'er is afraid of him" with "Guang'er is afraid of him to enlighten himself", and said, "If you enlighten him, he will be relaxed now." After that, as long as I or my father taught him personally, wouldn't he be timid again? Why do you think that? I will teach him directly from now on, so that he knows that Ming'er's words are just coaxing him, and he will not be so afraid of going to school. ”
Speaking of this, seeing that his wife was still hesitant, Shen Zangfeng's voice suddenly became low, "Ying'er, do you remember what I said to you before I went into battle with an injury when I was in Xiliang?" The world is already chaotic now, otherwise you wouldn't know that Xie'er was only half a year old, so you would urge you to bring him to the imperial capital. Let me tell you, now there is no peace in the twenty-seven states within the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, the people are everywhere, and it is okay to suppress it for a while, and now the Li people resent the court and the scholars, and they are only thinking about rebellion, and there is no one to cultivate at all, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and now the country is shaking...... The Wei room won't last long! ”
Wei Changying traveled all the way, although he was strictly protected in the army by the Xiliang Army, but he also knew that there was no shortage of hunger along the way, and if he didn't have to take good care of Shen Shuxie, he would definitely be in a heavy mood. At this moment, after listening to her husband's words, she was also very embarrassed: "I didn't worry about Xie'er, but the eldest sister said that it was okay to dare to take him." Thankfully, the kid is in good health...... By the way, how is Yanzhou now? Is there any change in the Rong people over there in Donghu? ”
Shen Zangfeng stroked her long hair that was as smooth as silk, and said lazily: "Yanzhou has not yet been captured - the Rong people are ready to move, and what they are most afraid of now is that the Liu family can't bear the pressure or is unwilling to bear the pressure, so they deliberately let the Rong people go straight in." The biggest headache was that although the Xiliang army arrived in Gyeonggi, the princes of the court and the central government did not agree to their stationing in Gyeonggi. My father and uncle have been fighting with people, especially the Liu family, several times in the past few days. ”
Wei Changying was surprised: "Fight? ”
"Although it is above the temple, but the words are not speculative to a certain extent, uncle's sex. Child...... There are also several generals in the Liu family who are quite anxious, and it is impossible for my father to watch his uncle being beaten. Shen Zangfeng sighed for a long time, "Judging from the current situation, even if the Xiliang Army is allowed to station in Gyeonggi, I am afraid it will be greatly restricted-these things are still hidden from the Holy Lord, if the Holy Lord knows......
He shook his head.
"The Holy Lord doesn't know?!" Wei Changying couldn't help but be stunned, "This ...... When has this been? "Even if it's those faint kings in the history books, it's not that everyone is confused to this point...... Judging from the beginning of this dynasty's ascension to the throne, he shouldn't have been like this! It's time to be sober at this point, isn't it?
"The Holy One doesn't want to know, and the Lords don't want the Holy One to know." Shen Zangfeng said indifferently, "Besides, what the court is planning now, it's better to let the saint know nothing." ”
Wei Changying heard that his tone was a little strange, and after a little thought, he couldn't help but change his face: "You mean ......?" But now that the prince is Shenbo, our fourth sister has coaxed him in the matter of his wife, and this one is not a generous person! ”
Shen Zangfeng shook his head and said: "That's a trivial matter, no matter how narrow-minded the prince is, the priorities of the matter are still clear." Besides......" he said meaningfully, "do you think that the prince is so young that he can really control our clan?" "Don't look at the six valves now, they unanimously agreed to let the saint be the emperor and let the prince ascend the throne as the emperor. In fact, the reason why the six valves have such a unified opinion is that they are afraid that the saint will be old and confused, and they will not be able to get off the stage and rush into trouble is only part of it, but more because they take a fancy to the prince's youth, and he is not a figure who turns his hands into clouds and turns his hands into rain, and after ascending the throne, he is completely inseparable from the support of these old ministers - it can even be said that the prince is a little better coaxed.
If the crown prince is a stunningly talented master, or if he is already a deep man in the Great Wall Mansion - then several families will never allow this, and will definitely choose to be loyal to the saint, even if the outstanding children of the clan are punished heavily...... For the scholars who advocate the monarch's vertical arch and the regent of the scholar clan, it is true that the saint is too mediocre and nonsense, but compared to the shrewd and capable, they would rather have a faint monarch than a bright monarch!
Shen Zangfeng, as a typical child of the scholar clan, is still the future head of the first-class wang clan in the scholar clan, of course, he also thinks so.
"......" Wei Changying couldn't help biting her lip: Not long after she passed the door, the Shen family thought about Yi Chu, this prince has only been changed for a few days? He just came back from Xiliang, and the Shen family actually thought about Emperor Yi even further......
Rubbing the corners of his forehead, Wei Changying asked strongly: "Then this time it's for the sake of the eldest brother in Yanzhou?" ”
"Not exactly." Shen Zangfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, there is something I want to ask you about - Uncle Song and Shengshang, or Empress Gu and the like, are these people who will be in trouble after the crown prince ascends the throne, but what is the deep hatred?" ”
Wei Changying was very surprised when she heard this question: "Uncle Song? ”
She thought for a moment and said blankly, "No? You also know, I actually met my uncle once, how do I know? Speaking of which, you were born and raised in the imperial capital, haven't you heard any rumors? ”
Shen Zangfeng sighed: "No." That's the case, this time, the big thing, was first the idea that Uncle Wei gave to the prince, all in all, maybe the prince had this thought, maybe it was Uncle Wei Liu's idea...... But later, when Uncle Wei Liu's crown prince made an appointment with various families, he didn't know why the first one chose Uncle Song, instead of the Liu family, who wanted to beat Yanzhou down and was about to go crazy! It was my speculation with my father that Uncle Song had some hidden grudge, but Uncle Wei Liu knew about it and was sure that Uncle Song would promise it, so he was the first to find him. ”
After a pause, he explained, "Uncle Song has been sick since the beginning of spring, and this time, Grandma Wei died, and although he and Cousin Song were robbed of love, they couldn't return to their hometown to keep filial piety. ”
Wei Changying groaned, "I don't know...... However, Uncle Wei Liu is a shrewd person, maybe he has any way to convince his uncle? ”
After guessing for a while, he couldn't be sure, Wei Changying simply said, "I'll go to visit my uncle in two days to see if I can find out his tone - Cousin Song went back to Jiangnan to offer condolences to my grandmother, but I don't know my uncle well, but I may not have the opportunity to speak." ”
Shen Zangfeng said: "This is not a very important matter, it's just a little doubtful, don't worry too much, just come back, it's better to recuperate." ”
Saying this sentence very gently, Shen Zangfeng said in a tone of amazement, complexity, affection, and pity, "Wei Zuo's exhausted days can be counted, and at that time, I will definitely be very busy, and I will inevitably wronged your mother and son." ”
Wei Changying wanted to comfort him: "The situation is like this, how can we live a leisurely and leisurely life like a peaceful and prosperous era in troubled times?" You can relax, Guang'er and Xie'er, I will definitely take them well, and I will never cause you trouble! ”
How can that work! I said this for a long time, isn't it for Shen Zangfeng to say reluctantly: "For the husband and the daughter!" It's just that now the Wei family is still struggling, and the husband is not so busy that he can't take care of you...... Take advantage of this light, for the husband to do more to be a husband and a father! It is Guang'er's teaching, or let the husband come first, after all, children grow up very quickly, and the husband doesn't know if there will be a chance to teach him in person in the future! ”
Thinking of the next world beacon fire, the heroes rise together, and the wind and clouds are turbulent...... He had prepared for such a situation many years ago, for the glory of the family and the wealth of his wife and children, Shen Zangfeng was destined to devote himself to this situation - and now this period of Chenguang is undoubtedly his last leisure, and he can return to the back hall from time to time to accompany his wife and children.
Wei Changying was in a complicated mood, couldn't say anything, and nodded lightly: her husband wants to spend as much time with her son as possible, how can she stop her? Just like Shen Zangfeng said, when the situation is really chaotic and he needs to devote himself wholeheartedly to deal with it, even if Shen Shuguang looks at his father all day long, it is a luxury.
It's just that Wei Changying, who was deeply moved by the situation depicted by her husband, the future, the relationship between father and son, and caused thousands of emotions, didn't know that at this moment, Shen Zangfeng hugged her with satisfaction, rubbed her chin lightly on her forehead, but the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she laughed and secretly thought: "Guang'er, this kid, thinks that because he is young and hasn't seen Ying'er for several years, he coaxes Ying'er to rely on him for everything, so can he really not take my father in his eyes?" Don't you know that he coaxed Ying'er's little trick, which one I was not tired of using with his uncles when I was a child? Tomorrow I will give him some colors to see, so that he will know that next time he dares to calculate his father's fate like this! ”
