[Chapter 5, Volume 5]

Section 486

Wei Changying hesitated for a night, and after Shen Zangfeng came back, he couldn't help but tell him about it, and complained: "Guang'er has been receiving monthly money since the first half of last year, and you came back in the second half of last year, why haven't you ever found out that Ming'er was borrowing money from him?" And it wasn't borrowed once for two days, and almost all the money that Guang'er received was borrowed by Ming'er! I'm not talking about silver, I'm talking about how can I be so short of money now? Where did he spend it? ”

Shen Zangfeng was also very surprised when he heard the news, and said, "I don't know about Guang'er's monthly money. ”

"These subordinates are really too sloppy!" The couple discussed it for a while, and they both felt that it was all a dereliction of duty, and they didn't report the matter in time, so that if it wasn't for Shen Shuming's own weak heart tonight, Wei Changying went into the backyard by himself, how would he know that he secretly ran over to borrow money from his cousin?

However, knocking down people is now the second thing, and the most important thing is to figure out why Shen Shuming is so short of money.

Shen Zangfeng's face was very ugly: "The eldest brother has always doted on his children, although the sister-in-law has always insisted on disciplining Jing'er and Ming'er, but Ming'er is now older, and she has a job in the yamen, and she has to go out every now and then, and it is impossible for the sister-in-law to accompany him in and out." He thought of going with Wei Changying because of Shen Shuming's lack of money, "This kid shouldn't be like the fifth and sixth brothers!" ”

Shen Zangji has now become a parent, and his wife is a cousin, they have grown up together since childhood, and they don't have deep feelings for each other, so they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. Even if I thought about kissing and kissing, I was embarrassed to go to the place of Goolan again, and I didn't even go to the gambling house much. But before they got married, although he and the sixth son, Shen Yongkun, were restrained by Shen Xuan and did not reach the point of robbing a woman from a good family and flirting with a serious woman, they were also frequent visitors to gambling houses and Qinglou in private.

The two sons and brothers, who don't have to bear the family business and are favored, and are not short of money, are famous flower cherishers in the imperial capital a few years ago...... Could it be that Shen Shuming learned from his two uncles because he was protected and pampered by his loving father?

He's the eldest grandson!

When Wei Changying first passed the door, he always thought that the two little uncles were very well-behaved, but later in Xiliang saw the two little uncles going forward to make trouble, wandering, and messing with flowers, and only then did he know that these two guys were not worry-free. This will listen to her husband's words reveal a little, and she will feel even more troublesome: "The eldest brother is not in the imperial capital now, do you want to tell the sister-in-law about this?" But the sister-in-law is now busy preparing the wedding for the sixth brother! If the eldest brother knows about it in Yanzhou, he is afraid that he will be worried and hindered by the war. ”

The Yanzhou War has already lost continuously on the side of the imperial court, and if it continues to lose, even if the saint becomes the emperor and the crown prince becomes the saint to see the government, it is estimated that it will be angry. And no one would want Lu Haozhi to really sit big in Yanzhou - it's not just the Liu family who covets the mountains in the city.

"Then don't tell my sister-in-law first, I'll go tell my father about this matter tomorrow, call him to the front yard to ask first, if I can hide from my sister-in-law to solve the matter." Sister-in-law is really busy now, although you are back, but you also have a lot of things, and the marriage of the sixth brother is inseparable from the sister-in-law. Shen Zangfeng has reprimanded his younger brothers on behalf of his father over the years, but he didn't expect that the two younger brothers had not learned a good lesson, and the nephews began to feel uneasy. This gave him a headache, and he became more and more determined to discipline his son well, and never allow this kind of idle squirrel!

Not to mention this determination, Shen Shuguang was taught by his father's harsh requirements how dead and alive he was afterwards...... Early the next morning, the couple got up, freshened up, and went out separately.

Wei Changying didn't have to go out to visit anyone on this day, so after asking An, she went to the account room to help the Liu family, and worked together for Shen Yongkun's marriage.

When I returned to Jintong Courtyard in the afternoon, I saw that Shen Zangfeng had already come back first, and there was a calm between my eyebrows, but I couldn't see joy - I waved away and asked, "Ming'er's matter?" ”

"This kid owes five thousand taels of silver in the gambling house under the name of a housekeeper in Runwang's Mansion." Shen Zangfeng frowned and said, "If he hadn't lied to his sister-in-law that he had lost a pair of jade pendants and mortgaged them, the people from Runwang's Mansion would have come to the door a long time ago." ”

Wei Changying asked, "Just this place?" ”

"Hmm."

Wei Changying was relieved when he heard this, Shen Shuming is half a big age, and he is addicted to gambling and prostitution. Prostitutes have the best of both worlds, and she thinks gambling is better. Because at least not like prostitution. The prostitute hurts the body so much. Dafang is now such a son, those women in Qinglou, for the sake of money and for favor, want to cling to it with a bigger heart, what means can't be used? One was accidentally seduced by them and hurt the roots, and the big house didn't know how to cry!

And although five thousand taels of silver forced Shen Shuming to bet on the jade pendant, it was nothing to the elders. Shen Zangfeng frowned not because he felt that it was more than five thousand taels of silver, but because he was afraid that his nephew would really become addicted to gambling, and then he would develop all the way to eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and become a complete waste.

Wei Changying thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did my father say anything?" "Shen Shuming has been the only male grandson for several years, although Shen Xuan is not very satisfied that he is pampered by Shen Zangli too much, so that he is very lazy in his studies, but he also really loves him. It is categorically impossible not to care about his future just because there are a few more grandchildren now.

It's just that Shen Xuan has long been displeased with Shen Shuming's self-indulgence of his father, and I don't know if he will take advantage of Shen Zangli's absence this time to teach this grandson a ruthless lesson? Thinking of Qiu Di's unknown desert, Wei Changying couldn't help but worry that Shen Zangli's two sons were unsatisfactory, and they were strictly disciplined by their grandfather, so don't make trouble about the disharmony between father and son.

Shen Zangfeng sighed: "Father plans to send him to Xiliang. ”

"Huh?" Wei Changying was stunned.

Shen Zangfeng said: "It's not just him, the fifth brother, the sixth brother, my father thinks that they were too favored in the past. Even though the fifth and sixth brothers went to Donghu for about a year the year before last, it was to send Doctor Ji over, and I didn't give them any important errands when I arrived in Xiliang. They are nothing more than hunting and playing in Xiliang, and there is no grinding at all. This time, my father planned to send them to several places bordering Di Jing to garrison the border, so that they could endure more hardships and know how to make progress. ”

Wei Changying muttered: "It is said that the Di people are now greatly injured, and they have almost escaped into the depths of the grassland, even if they think about it, there is not much danger. Besides, my father will definitely arrange 'thorn fence' protection for them, but no matter how I say it, it's all the border, in case there are any scattered Di people......" She thought to herself that this incident was caused by her discovery that Shen Shuming borrowed money from Shen Shuguang, if Shen Shuming was tempered by his grandfather's dispatch to the frontier, and if one accidentally had some accidents, the Liu family, who was one of his sons, would not be able to fight with himself no matter how reasonable he was?

But Shen Zangfeng said: "My father has made up his mind, and he doesn't want them to continue to idle in the imperial capital. What's more, the imperial capital is prosperous, and this soft red tenzhang is indeed easy to tempt people to fall into it, and it is not as good as the bitter cold Xiliang can make people sober. If Guang'er wasn't too young, and he couldn't do without us, I really wanted to send Guang'er with me. ”

Wei Changying heard this, but she didn't say anything for a long time, and only after a long time did she look at him with a complicated expression, but she just met her husband's meaningless gaze - the couple looked at each other for a moment before she said, "That's fine." ”

Hearing this, Shen Zangfeng lowered his eyes and patted the back of her hand half guilty and half comforted: "Don't worry!" ”

…… Within a few days, the eldest grandson of the Shen family was taken by two uncles to linger in the gambling house, and the matter of owing a large amount of money was unexpectedly revealed. It is said that the cause of the incident is because the sixth son of the Shen family is going to marry Miss Huo next year, and now his eldest sister-in-law Liu and third sister-in-law Wei are working together to buy him the things he needs to get married. As a result, when sending people to buy ornaments in the market, the third young lady Wei accidentally bought a pair of good jade pendants, and looked like the pair that her nephew "lost" not long ago, so she was not counted in the wedding of the little uncle, but sent someone to the big house to confirm to her sister-in-law, which was the original pair of Shen Shuming.

Liu wanted to ask Wei about the origin, and the two of them sent someone to check - it was actually Shen Shuming who bet on the gambling house after losing the silver!

Because the day was over, the gambling house took the jade pendant to the shop and sold it according to the contract.

After Shen Xuan knew about this, he was so angry that he beat the eldest grandson and the fifth and sixth sons who took the eldest grandson to the gambling house in public, and then it was spread.

It is not uncommon for the children of the high family to gamble, but Shen Xuan felt that his descendants had lost face to him this time, and he still didn't understand his hatred after beating him, and then ordered them to pack up their things together and go to Xiliang to sharpen - when did they wash away the habit of being uncompetitive, and they were only allowed to come back after they looked like the children of the Shen family of the martial arts family!

Originally, Liu was also angry and hateful when he learned about this, and he made up his mind to discipline his son well, and he must not be spoiled by his husband anymore and go on the road of not being angry. But the father-in-law wanted to send his son to Xiliangshu, and the Liu family was anxious again, and the little brother-in-law and the sister-in-law in the next room couldn't take care of the marriage preparations, so he sent someone to the third room to say hello to Wei Changying, and he rushed to the upper room in three steps and two steps to find his mother-in-law to intercede: "Ming'er is so angry, it's because the daughter-in-law didn't discipline her well." It's just that he is still young, the fifth brother and the sixth brother are also young, and now the third brother and his wife are no longer in Xiliang, so they are sent to Xiliang, or to the border, in case they are young and have no experience, make a mistake, or get injured, what can they do? ”

Mrs. Su comforted her: "Feng'er killed Qiu Di in a big defeat before, and now the Ju clan has escaped into the depths of the grassland and does not dare to show his head. Shen Youjia, the guard of Xiliang, is a very stable person, and with him in Xiliang, there is nothing to worry about. You see that Feng'er returned to the imperial capital first, didn't Chang Ying take Xie'er to settle down in Xiliang'an for many days? Now Zhu'er, Xi'er, and Yan'er are still in Xiliang! ”

But they live in Xiliang City, which is high and deep in the city! It's still in the ancestral hall that has been completely designed and built according to the inner city after many beacon fires! There are also a large number of Xiliang troops to protect it, unless the entire Xiliang falls, what danger can there be? My son is going to the border this time, to the places where the Di people will bear the brunt of the attack!

Liu felt that her in-laws' partiality was too much, and she couldn't help but redden: "Mother, the daughter-in-law only has one son, Ming'er, even if he is not angry, the daughter-in-law just begs him to be safe...... The daughter-in-law told the truth, and the husband has always only asked for Ming'er's safety - Guang'er is taught by the third brother and his wife, and he must be smart and outstanding, so are you afraid that she won't be able to help Ming'er in the future? ”

On the surface, these words are reminding Mrs. Su that the next lord is a three-room and not a big house, and whether Shen Shuming has any interest or not will have little impact on the entire Shen family. Now the one who should be strictly disciplined should be Shen Shuguang, the eldest son of Sanfang. Shen Shuming does not seek to be motivated, at most the big house is not good, this is in front of his safety, Liu would rather admit it!

Secretly, he complained about Shen Xuan and his wife, and in order to support the third room, he did not hesitate to grieve other flesh and blood - Liu thought that his husband Shen Zangli had lost the position of the young lord by himself, and he could not threaten Shen Zangfeng; Shen Yong in the second room is really a concubine, his talent is not as good as Shen Zangfeng, his temperament is too hasty and not suitable for presiding over a family, Shen Shuyi is still so small, smaller than Shen Shuguang; The fourth and seventh rooms are the heirs of Xiangningbo's mansion, the eighth room is too small, the fifth and sixth rooms are worthy of marriage, and their own sons who are already half old - but these three people were sent to Xiliang, not because the father-in-law was afraid that they would threaten the position of the father and son of the third room to take over the position of Ming Peitang, and use the topic to play and pave the way for the third room, what can it be?

Hearing this, Mrs. Su took a deep look at her, waved back left and right, and even Mama Tao didn't stay...... After the doors and windows were closed, she said to her eldest daughter-in-law, who looked a little apprehensive: "Do you think your father is too harsh on Ming'er by doing this?" ”

That's what Liu thought in his heart, but he still said: "The daughter-in-law doesn't dare, the daughter-in-law is just worried about Ming'er." ”

"You're wrong, your father is not Ming'er, let alone your big room, but the second and third rooms...... Especially the three rooms! As if she hadn't heard her words, Mrs. Su turned the bracelet on her wrist with a complicated expression and said in a low voice!

Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, and couldn't help but change his face!
