Chapter 261: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
The voice was low and magnetic, Gao Shiman's heart was itching, and he endured it and finally said: "Why don't I go back to my mother's house or Zhuangzi to live for a while?" "He won't go to that annoying Aunt Du, he can't cheapen her.
Shen Lixing was like a deflated ball, so he had to say sullenly: "Don't, you have to be with me every day." ”
Why bother, Gao Shiman sighed secretly. After a while, she touched his right arm and said, "Thank you, brother." ”
Shen Lixing was depressed, he couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, what kind of sin did he do, he met such a woman, and he couldn't give it up.
"Do you sleep?" He threatened her.
"Don't sleep, who told you to get people to bed so early", Gao Shiman's mouth was not to be outdone.
"You really don't sleep?"
"I won't sleep."
"Then let's do something that can make people fall asleep quickly......" Shen Lixing's big palm reached out again.
"Don't, don't, I'll sleep", Gao Shiman hurriedly said to forgive.
The big palm had touched the soft place, and Gao Shiman grabbed his big hand, but he didn't move at all. She simply didn't try to refuse him, and let him go up and down, left and right. It's never a way to go on like this, she lamented in her heart, oh my God, do you have any good ideas?
Of course, no one could help her.
On the second day, Gao Shiman went to Zhuangzi by herself, and when she returned to Beijing, she brought a jar of sweet and sour garlic, kept half of it for herself, sent half of it to the old man, and told him to eat one every day.
And Shen Lixing waited for her to leave, then he broke away, and began to rummage through the cabinets in the bedroom like a mouse, originally he thought that it would take a long time to find the book of separation, who knew that it was in the pavilion at the bottom of the bedside table, the ten pearls he had given to Gao Shiman were scattered in the box, and the book he was looking for was pressed underneath.
Shen Lixing was overjoyed in his heart, carefully poured all the beads on the bed, took out the closed book and took a closer look, it was undoubtedly the one he had written. He went to the study and wrote another one on the same paper, but the content was very different from what he had written before. He was secretly happy in his heart, and wrote that he would never be separated from Gao Shiman, and after writing and drying, he put it back in the box as it was, and put ten beads on it and put it back in its place.
He took the haunting book and burned it, and then he breathed a big sigh of relief. He was sure that even if Gao Shiman checked whether the book was still there, he would not open it and look at it carefully, as long as he glanced at the paper, she would not continue.
In fact, he was right. Gao Shiman thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place, but she didn't know that when she met someone like Shen Lixing, she could only be defeated.
At the end of the year, the old man in Gao Shiman's careful care, the body gradually improved, he was not in a big health, is the daily pain, and then pretended to be sick to coax his granddaughter-in-law into the house, he felt a little guilty in his heart, now the granddaughter-in-law entered the house but his old problems to be regulated, he is grateful and love for Gao Shiman in his heart.
At this time, the news of Su Qian's marriage also came to the capital, except for Gao Shiman, who didn't know, everyone who should know knew it. Because the second uncle, whom she had never seen a few years ago, went to Beijing to report on his work.
Her second uncle, Zheng Jikang, was in charge of Zhengzhou at the time, and the imperial court would conduct an annual assessment of the officials' political performance to determine their promotion.
Zheng Jilan cleaned up a yard in the house and arranged for the second brother and his entourage to go down, and then notified Gao Shiman, Gao Shiman took Shen Lixing back to the house, so he should go back to the door in advance, and saw the second uncle, only to see that he was elegant and graceful, and he was not obvious when he was forty years old, and the book was full of fragrance.
Zheng Jikang saw the couple and said with a smile: "Man'er, I haven't seen you for many years, you are becoming more and more prominent, if your uncle walks on the street, you really don't dare to recognize each other." ”
Shen Lixing looked at Gao Shiman, his eyes were full of tenderness, Zheng Jikang was also a person from the past, how could he not understand the eyes of a man, and without waiting for Gao Shiman to speak, he smiled at Shen Lixing again: "Lord Shen is a talent, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, Man'er is a blessed one." ”
Gao Shiman is in a very good mood, in this world, one more relative, one more warm lamp, she heard her second uncle say this, and deliberately said: "Why does the second uncle have the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige, why don't you say that your niece is virtuous and virtuous, Shen Yantang is blessed?" ”
Shen Lixing was silent when he laughed, and Zheng Jikang couldn't cry or laugh. He glanced at Shen Lixing and saw that he had no different color, so he relieved himself.
"The second uncle can call me Yantang, you don't have to be so polite", Shen Lixing heard Gao Shiman call him "Shen Yantang" for the first time, so he pushed the boat down the river to shorten the psychological distance with Zheng Jikang.
Zheng Jikang nodded and smiled: "The two of you got married, and your grandfather and grandmother were very concerned. ”
"Thank you grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt!" Gao Shiman immediately thanked her, she was very curious about what kind of people these two old people and their relatives were, and she was looking forward to meeting them.
Shen Lixing should also thank him, and then diverted the topic and asked about Zheng Jikang's affairs, Zheng Jilan saw them talking about the affairs of the DPRK and China, so he excused himself and took Gao Shiman away.
After marriage, the mother and daughter met for the first time, and Zheng Jilan naturally asked her daughter if she had a stomach. Gao Shiman pretended to be shy, and only said that Shen Lixing treated her very well, saving her mother from worrying. Just looking at her daughter's face, Zheng Jilan was already relieved, and asked about the specific situation of each room in the Shen Mansion, and asked them one by one, for fear that her daughter would be inconsiderate in her husband's house.
A woman's marriage is the second reincarnation, so Zheng Jilan can't help it. She can't let her daughter go her own way anymore, although Shen Lixing is optimistic about her, but time is a pig-killing knife, who knows what will happen in the future, she must take precautions and guide her daughter step by step on the road of life before she can rest assured.
The mother and daughter were talking privately together, and Shen Lixing and Zheng Jikang were also chatting about various things in the court.
Shen Lixing has always been clear-sighted in the court, and he asked Zheng Jikang: "Second uncle, don't drive Zhang Heng in Zhengzhou, what is the relationship with the local Li Haode?" ”
Zhang Heng and Dali Temple Qing Zhang Yun are brothers, and last month Zhang Yun angered the emperor and was beheaded in Dongshi. The reason is that Li Haode, a native of Zhengzhou, is known to be insane, and often speaks some absurd and arrogant words that hinder the country's politics, and the emperor ordered him to be locked up in prison, but Zhang Yun, the secretary of Dali Temple, admonished the emperor: "Li Haode is already insane, and he should not be convicted according to the law." ”
The emperor thought about it and thought that what he said made sense, so he promised to be lenient. And Zhang Yun because he had a friendship with Li Haode, so he went to the prison and quietly told Li Haode the emperor's will, Li Haode was crazy and good, and he was very happy after hearing it.
As a result, this matter was known to the scribe and the imperial historian, so he impeached Zhang Yun, and the emperor was furious when he heard it, and ordered Zhang Yun to be beheaded at that time.
Afterwards, the emperor regretted a little and blamed himself for acting too impulsively, so he said to Shangshu's left servant: "If you have the court's money, you must share the country's worries, and you should pay careful attention to the affairs of the court, no matter how big or small." If I don't ask you, you won't say it, and if you see something wrong, you won't admonish it, so what assistance and help will there be for me? Zhang Yun, as a judge, joked with the prisoner, he leaked my words, this crime is very serious, but according to the criminal law, it is not to the point of death, I was very angry at the time, and ordered immediate beheading, but you did not say a word, and the judge did not refute the performance. The execution of Zhang Yun is really not in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law. ”
Later, the emperor issued an edict saying that in all cases where there was a death penalty, even if an immediate death sentence was ordered, five repetitions were required; The edict also said that crimes convicted in accordance with the law may also be unjust, and from now on, the province will review the case, and if there are extenuating circumstances that should be executed according to the law, the case must be copied and reported.
Zheng Jikang also knew that Zhang Yun was convicted and executed, and Li Haode actually had nothing to do with the Zhang brothers, but they were all from Zhengzhou. Hearing Shen Lixing ask, he thought for a while and said, "The Zhang brothers have nothing to do with Li Haode, if you really talk about the relationship, it's just some friendship with fellow villagers." ”
This time, Zhang Heng also went to Beijing to see the driver, Shen Lixing knew the emperor's temperament, and guessed that the emperor must compensate his brother a little because he felt guilty about Zhang Yun. No matter what official position the emperor will give him, his Zhengzhou assassin history will definitely be moved. Once this seat is vacated, then there will be a lot of people staring at this piece of fat. Gao Shiman has received a lot of favors from the Zheng family, and Shen Lixing has now seen Zheng Jikang, and feels that this second uncle is also a steady and capable person, and the most important thing is that he treats Man'er with true feelings.
If he didn't care about this kind of nosy before, but now it's different, for Man'er's sake, he will also use his brains. So he said to Zheng Jikang: "Second uncle, Zhang Tingshi will not return to Zhengzhou when he enters Beijing this time, I don't know what your plans are?" ”
After hearing this, Zheng Jikang glanced at this unfamiliar nephew and son-in-law and said, "What are your plans?" Naturally, how the imperial court arranges and how it acts. Whether to be promoted or deposed depends not only on political performance, but also on comprehensive evaluation...... Yantang, does Master Zhang really want to stay in Beijing? ”
Shen Lixing nodded with a smile and said: "The emperor is kind-hearted and always thinks about his subordinates, if I expect it to be correct, I am afraid that the position of the assassin will be vacated." "Based on his information and inference, the emperor will do this 100%.
"Oh?" Zheng Jikang's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope, "The position of the assassin history, can Yantang know who will be spent?" "As an adjutant of Zhang Thorn Shi, how can he not be moved?
"I haven't learned yet", Shen Lixing smiled a little meaningfully.
"Yantang ......," Zheng Jikang's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of expectation.
"Second uncle, don't worry, your business is my Shen Yantang's business, let me inquire these days, if there is any news, I will definitely come to inform the second uncle", Shen Lixing is naturally more familiar with the situation in Beijing than Zheng Jikang, he will not be deep or shallow, and he will try his best to run for this second uncle.
"Yantang has a heart", Zheng Jikang is still very satisfied with this nephew and son-in-law.
On the way back to the house, Shen Lixing took Gao Shiman's hand and said: "Man'er, it's almost the New Year, the Guozijian is on holiday, you can rest for a few days, I can't accompany you if I have something to do these days, don't run around by yourself, wait for the New Year obediently." ”
"Good", Gao Shiman is extremely obedient.
Seeing her respond, Shen Lixing couldn't help but come up and say, "What did you talk about with your mother-in-law?" ”
Gao Shiman smiled and said, "The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra." ”
