Chapter 487: Three generations of unvirtuous wives for marrying a wife
On this day, Shen Mingjiao got up early in the morning and planned to pick up Shen Mingshu's mother and daughter.
And with the execution of the crown prince, the rebellion case came to an end, and Feng Lisheng was finally idle. You don't have to be away from home for days,
After breakfast, Shen Mingjiao took Feng Lisheng to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city gate, which is the only way to go back and forth to the capital. Almost all the time, the scene of parting and seeing off is staged.
Estimating that Shen Mingshu's carriage would still arrive for some hours, Feng Lisheng took Shen Mingjiao to a tea shed.
invited Xiao Er to serve some tea and snacks, but Shen Mingjiao couldn't eat tea because she was pregnant, so she turned the fan and looked around. Suddenly, she stabbed Feng Lisheng's arm:
"Hey! Isn't that the second prince? ”
Feng Lisheng followed her line of sight and saw a young man in an azure robe standing at the entrance of the official road, it was Xu Chunsheng.
Xu Chunsheng was not very suitable for the life of the royal family, and he only brought a guard and a little eunuch when he went out. Even so, because of his extraordinary looks. provoked many people to stop frequently, especially some girls who had not left the cabinet.
Shen Mingjiao held a fan against her chin and watched it with relish, less than half an hour, and there were at least twenty girls passing in front of Xu Chunsheng
Five handkerchiefs, six sachets were thrown at his feet, and one was directly thrown into a money bag.
Xu Chunsheng is obviously the first time to encounter this kind of battle, he is not good at communicating, his ears are red for a while, and he is obviously at a loss.
Not only does this move not look embarrassing, but with his face, there is a different kind of well-behaved feeling.
The little eunuchs and guards who followed were only bitter, helping to return the sachets again and again, and accepting the disappointed eyes of the girls.
And that's not all! There was a girl who directly lost a money bag, and it was at least a few dozen taels larger.
The appointed guard picked up the money bag and walked to a carriage, and the girl in the carriage was visibly disappointed to see that the money bag had been returned.
Let the maid take the gap in the money bag, casually glanced at the guard, and saw that the other party's facial features were upright and tough, his posture was straight, and his eyes were clear, and his eyes couldn't help but light up:
"Can Childe be married?"
This girl's name is Jiang Wanling, the daughter of the imperial merchant Jiang family, and she has been discussing marriage recently, but she didn't fancy any of the men introduced by the matchmaker.
The guard was stunned: "... Never. ”
Jiang Wanling's eyes brightened: "It just so happens that I am not married yet, so my son can consider me." She is the youngest daughter in the family, and she has followed her father since she was a child, and it is inevitable that she will speak more directly.
The guard took a step back in fright and stammered, "You're not... Cough... Do you care about my son-in-law? ”
Jiang Wanling nodded very calmly: "Because your son-in-law is so good-looking!" The girl's family will take a few more glances when she sees it, but he only looks at it from a distance, and he still has to find someone with similar conditions to live. ”
The guard looked up in surprise and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did the girl lose the silver?" ”
Jiang Wanling: "Because I'm not good at embroidering handkerchiefs or sewing sachets, my only advantage seems to be money!" ”
The maid on the side wanted to cover her face.
Until the carriage walked away, the guard stood for a while, and then smirked, inexplicably feeling that the girl just now looked quite pleasing to the eye, the girl of the Huangshang Jiang family. It just so happened that the family was also quite good, so I went back and asked my mother to inquire.
Shen Mingjiao, who witnessed a perfect encounter in less than half an hour: the reversal of "......" is very fascinating!
She pulled Feng Lisheng's sleeve, tilted her head to support her cheeks and stared at his face curiously: "Anyway, you and the second prince look the same!" I've never met a girl who throws a veil in front of you. ”
If you think about it, it's really like a woman coming up and pretending to break her foot or something.
The main reason is that Feng Lisheng's aura is too strong, and what ordinary people notice at first glance is not his appearance.
Feng Lisheng glanced at her: "You're quite sorry!" ”
Shen Mingjiao sneered: "... How so? I'm not looking for something to do! ”
That's right, with his temperament, a girl throws a handkerchief at his feet, and he can step on it without changing his face.
In the gap between speaking, another carriage came from the official crossing, and Xu Chunsheng, who was motionless and looking at the intersection in front of him, his eyes lit up, and then he quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the carriage.
Seeing this, the two stood up and walked out of the tea shed.
As the carriage stopped, Shen Mingshu tidied up his clothes and pushed the sleepy Nuobao in his arms: "Nuobao is good!" We're here. ”
The little girl rubbed her eyes and yawned: "Is Daddy here?" ”
Shen Mingshu straightened the little guy's messy hair, and smiled steadily: "Of course, your father is outside him." ”
As soon as the words fell, the familiar footsteps approached, and the curtains of the car were lifted.
When Xu Chunsheng saw his wife and daughter, the dazed feeling he had been in these days seemed to have finally come to fruition, and he stretched out his hand to open the sedan door.
hugged Nuo Bao with one hand, and helped Shen Mingshu with the other.
Shen Mingshu graciously grabbed his arm and looked at him in surprise.
Xu Chunsheng was a little uncomfortable by her, "...... Is there anything wrong? ”
Shen Mingshu smiled: "No, husband, you look good like this!" But if you change it to white, it will definitely be more amazing! ”
The roots of Xu Chunsheng's ears were red, "... Hungry, I'll take you to dinner! ”
When Nuo Bao heard that there was something to eat, he raised his little head: "I want to eat sugar gourd." ”
At this time, Shen Mingjiao and the others happened to come over, and she smiled and beckoned: "Eat sugar gourd, come, aunt will take you to buy it." ”
Seeing the visitor, Nuo Bao's eyes brightened, and he waved his little hand vigorously: "Auntie, and good-looking uncle, you are also here to pick up Nuo Bao and his mother!" ”
"Yes! Nuo Bao is not happy? ”
Nuo Bao nodded heavily, tilted his head and asked curiously: "Happy, my mother said that there are many fun things in the capital, and there are beautiful skirts." It's even more beautiful than the skirt of the village Dani. ”
Dani is the richest girl in Xujia Village, because her aunt made a concubine for the landlord's grandfather.
Shen Mingjiao scratched her little nose: "Of course, let's go!" First go to my aunt's house, then go to my grandfather and grandmother. ”
……
The group took the carriage back to King Su's mansion, and the three maids knew that a little master was coming, so they prepared a lot of snacks in the kitchen in advance, and the toys that Shen Mingjiao bought back and forth also came in handy in advance, and the little guy couldn't wait to play.
Feng Lisheng led Xu Chunsheng to the study in the front yard to play chess, leaving the two sisters Shen Mingjiao to talk.
Shen Mingjiao took out the clothes that the embroidery girl had made in advance and asked Shen Mingshu to change them, after all, she had to enter the palace later, so she had to wear it decently.
The two sat in the courtyard and watched a few maids play with Nuobao.
Shen Mingshu looked at Shen Mingjiao's stomach and smiled with relief: "In two years, you and Your Highness's children will be able to run all over the ground." ”
Looking at Nuobao's cheerful smile, Shen Mingjiao was also looking forward to it.
When Shen Mingshu saw her like this, she really couldn't bear to burst her illusions,
It's true that children look cute, but those who have really given birth to them know that children are not only cute, but they are simply devastating.
After chatting, Shen Mingjiao took out a stack of account books:
"This is my mother's dowry, I have been dominated by the Li family for so many years, although I have broken a lot, but I also got it back before I got married. I don't need any of that now, you take it all, just keep it in mind. ”
The mother of the two was born in a small businessman in Jiangnan, although there are not many of these field shops, but they are not bad under her care.
Shen Mingshu suddenly returned to Beijing, and the Yongchang Marquis Mansion couldn't be relied on, so he had to have something to do with him.
Shen Mingshu flipped through it carefully, then divided the stack of paper into two parts, and raised his hand before Shen Mingjiao excused himself and said:
"You also said that this is your mother's dowry, aren't you your mother's daughter?
Don't worry, I won't be hungry with these. ”
Shen Mingjiao knew her sister's temperament, so she didn't insist anymore, and planned to help from other ways.
Shen Mingshu was silent for a while and asked, "How is my grandmother's family?" ”
Shen Mingjiao poured her a glass of sour plum juice: "That's it!" I haven't paid much attention since I tore my face with them. However, I heard from Erya that after Shen Mingyao was sent to the temple, he eloped with a gentleman who came to Beijing from other places, and this matter was spread in Beijing for a while.
The Yongchang Marquis Mansion also made a fuss about this matter, and the rooms complained to each other, and the partial grandmother couldn't carry it clearly. As for Uncle Shen Ji'an, he doesn't have much real skills, he only knows how to camp around. ”
On the way to Beijing, Shen Mingjiao had already told Shen Mingshu about what had happened over the years.
Shen Mingshu sighed: "If my father knows, I don't know what to think?" ”
Like Shen Mingjiao, she also doesn't like her grandmother's family, when she was a child, because her mother was born low and beautiful, I don't know how angry she was with that old woman, she had to get up and set rules before dawn. In order to prevent her father and mother from having sex with her, it is not counted that she was detained by her side all night, and on the wedding night, she also sent someone to eavesdrop outside the door of the new house.
If it weren't for this, my father wouldn't have let go of a good Beijing official and let the family out, and he might not have died young.
Shen Mingjiao: "If there are anyone in this generation who is a little passable, it's not that he can't help him, but Brother Lobby, like Shen Ji'an, doesn't study down-to-earth, and knows how to make connections all day long, not to mention other nephews." They all rely on the merits of their ancestors and don't know how to make progress. ”
If this continues, it will be a matter of time before the Shen family declines.
Shen Mingshu sighed: "So the old saying is true, marrying a wife is not virtuous for three generations. ”
The Yongchang Marquis Mansion was also a noble family that had stood for hundreds of years in the past, and it was also the number one in Beijing a few decades ago. The bad is in the old marquis's generation.
I heard that the old marquis, that is, their grandfather, had a good childhood sweetheart when he was young, and then the little green plum died of illness, and the old marquis insisted on marrying the concubine of a small official family as his wife, just because the concubine was a little similar to the little green plum.
The old lady and his wife couldn't help but agree, although there is no absolute, but the so-called family is still a certain truth, Cui's concubine was born, and her biological mother is just a maid, no matter how hard the old lady bothered to teach, she was a little family, staring at the little things in her husband's room all day long, and she was even more doting on the eldest son, except for Shen Jiming, who was personally raised by the old lady and his wife, the other children were all incompetent.
When the old marquis died, Shen Ji'an took the throne, and the Yongchang Marquis Mansion declined little by little, and now it can be regarded as a third-rate family.
Shen Mingshu leaned on his elbow and sighed: "But since I'm back." According to the etiquette, you have to go back no matter what. "After all, in terms of blood, it was her own grandmother,
At this, she pursed her lips. Still said: "Is Your Majesty and Niangniang getting along well?" ”
Shen Mingjiao knew what she was worried about? While taking a big sip of sour plum soup, he waved his hand: "It's okay, the imperial brother and sister-in-law are very open-minded, regardless of your background." Besides, I can marry into the royal family, what else is my sister worried about? ”
But speaking of which, it seems that their relationship is a bit chaotic, Feng Lisheng and Xu Chunsheng are uncles and nephews, nephews marry sisters, and uncles marry sisters!
Then does she call Xu Chunsheng a brother-in-law or a nephew?
It stands to reason that she married her husband, but if you judge it according to the man, wouldn't she and her sister become two generations?
Shen Mingjiao scratched her hair irritably, feeling that something was wrong.
The most important thing is. When the time comes, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will definitely have something to say!
……
The two words of this sister are worried, the study in the front yard,
Feng Lisheng and the two finished playing a game of chess, Qingyun County is remote, the teaching conditions are backward, Xu Chunsheng has not been seriously exposed to chess, but he has the ability to never forget, so he gets started quickly.
Feng Lisheng put down the last chess piece, and came over to refill the tea for the two. Feng Lisheng asked the well-behaved young man opposite: "Are you still used to living in Beijing for the past few days?" ”
Xu Chunsheng took a sip of tea and replied honestly: "The palace is too different from my previous living environment, and I am still slowly adapting.
However, compared to Qingyun County, the palace has a rich collection of books,"
Feng Lisheng was not surprised by his answer, and the two chatted a few more words.
"Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"
Xu Chunsheng clenched his teacup a little nervously: "If I can, I want to take the imperial examination, and then enter Hanlin to compile books for Daxia." Or take a study tour and take a look. ”
As he said this, his clear eyes shone brightly, plainly indicating his love for books.
"Well, you can mention it to Brother Huang, he shouldn't object."
When he said this, he only felt a pity in his heart, Xu Chunsheng was really smart, but it was a pity that something like that happened and he had been wasted for so many years.
Soon the Shen Mingjiao sisters came over with Nuobao, and the group got into the carriage and entered the palace.
……
When I entered the palace, I heard the little eunuch who led the way say that the emperor and queen were all in Fengming Palace. When the queen learned that Shen Mingshu's mother and daughter were coming, her originally sick and weak body was better, and she had more food in the morning.
Shen Mingshu was inexplicably a little nervous, Xu Chunsheng shook her hand lightly, and said with a warm sigh of relief: "The queen mother is very easy to get along with." ”
When I arrived at Fengming Palace, the maids who were waiting outside early were busy going in.
When several people stepped into the palace gate, the queen was already supported by the palace maid to greet her. Shen Mingshu learned Shen Mingjiao's movements and saluted, and Nuo Bao followed suit.
A well-maintained but somewhat pale hand helped her up, and when she raised her head, she met the queen's gentle and concerned gaze: "No need to be polite, you are Chunsheng's daughter-in-law, and you will be a family in the future." ”
Looking at this face that was somewhat familiar with her husband, Shen Mingshu's nervous mood relaxed slightly, and she pushed Nuo Bao with a smile:
"This is the Imperial Grandmother."
Since entering the palace, Nuo Bao felt that his eyes were almost insufficient, and he looked east and west, feeling that everything was fresh.
Now I hear my mother's words. She hurriedly withdrew her gaze from looking around. Tilting his head and calling "Imperial Grandmother" sweetly, he was not afraid of life at all.
Suddenly, with such a well-behaved and beautiful little granddaughter, the queen's depressed mood has been half better. Gently took the little guy's hand into the main hall, and asked the palace maid to put all the delicious and fun on the table.
Shen Mingjiao looked at the queen's excessively pale face and couldn't help frowning.
She asked the palace maid who had just been promoted, and learned that the queen had always had insomnia these days and nights, and she was eating less and less, so she couldn't help but be even more worried.
However, there is no other way to take medicine to regulate this disease and try to relax your mind.
I hope that the arrival of Nuobao can make the queen come out as soon as possible!
When Emperor Jing and Emperor saw Nuobao, they also liked it very much, and took the little guy to play in the imperial garden for a while.
Shen Mingjiao sincerely feels that this year's royal family is the warmest and most beautiful in all dynasties.
So. Why can't a man think about it, he has to have three wives and four concubines! It's so much better, and it takes a lot less trouble.
Soon it was time for dinner, and Feng Shuo, who was studying in Chongwen Hall, was called, and the family had a reunion dinner.
After the meal, Emperor Jing and Emperor Jing motioned for Feng Lisheng to go to the Qinzheng Palace, as if there was something important to talk about.
