Chapter 272: Old Mother's Complicated Feelings (Second Update)
On the other side, something like this happened, Shen Qing no longer had the interest to find the location of the academy, and after telling Song Xingzhi her thoughts, she handed over the matter to Song Xingzhi.
She took Yu Zihan and wanted to go home, but she didn't expect that as soon as she walked out of the door of the teahouse, she saw an acquaintance again, but it was the second lady of the Yang family, Qian Shi, and her youngest daughter Yang Jingyu, who she had only met at the dust washing banquet last night.
The Yang family is a more powerful family than the Chen family in Xizhou, just because the head of the Yang family is now serving as the secretary of the imperial court's military department, and the two families are a little delicate in their positions, although the Yang family also attended the dust washing banquet last night, but their attitude has always been neither humble nor arrogant, and they did not show any hostility towards Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing, but they did not deliberately curry favor with them.
And because the head of the Yang family's family is in the capital at this time, it is the second room of the Yang family who is now in charge of Xizhou.
Mrs. Qian recognized Shen Qing, hurriedly stepped forward, and saluted Shen Qing: "The concubine has seen Madame, is Madame taking Xiao Langjun out for a stroll today?" Madame is not familiar with Xizhou, and I don't know if Madame has any places she wants to go, and the concubine may be able to show Madame the way. ”
Her eyes only stayed on Sima Yu for a moment before leaving.
Yesterday, Shen Qing and the others did not announce Sima Yu's identity in front of everyone, because apart from the Chen family, no one knew that the county lord of Mingzhu was also in Xizhou.
Although the Yang family was not enthusiastic about them, Shen Qing didn't want to make enemies with them, and said with a faint smile: "Thank you Mrs. Qian for your kindness, I'm done shopping and I'm about to go home."
Is this Madame's youngest daughter? How old is it? I didn't seem to see her last night. ”
Mrs. Qian's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange look, she was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the concubine's youngest daughter, named Jingyu, who has just passed her twelfth birthday.
Yesterday, Yu'er was a little unwell, so she didn't go to Mrs. and Yu Xiang's dust washing banquet. ”
Shen Qing couldn't see the strangeness that flashed in Mrs. Qian's eyes, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.
Dare to love this Mrs. Qian is guarding against her? The Yang family is a family of military generals, and the current head of the family is the secretary of the military department, in addition, this generation of the Yang family also has three generals, one is now leading the army to resist Nan'anguo, and the other two are following Wu'an Hou to fight against Da Liang.
After Shen Qing and the others occupied Xizhou, many people secretly spread that Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing would definitely find a way to win over the Yang family.
And the best way to win over is to get married.
Shen Qing glanced at his son faintly, although Yu Zihan was smart, he hadn't thought of this level yet, and couldn't help but meet Shen Qing's eyes with some puzzlement.
Tsk, her son even has a day when he is disliked and guarded.
The old mother had mixed feelings.
Although she saw Mrs. Qian's thoughts, she didn't say anything, only smiled faintly and said, "In this way, if the little girl is weak and uncomfortable, it is better to rest more."
I won't bother Mrs. Qian. ”
After saying that, he walked straight forward.
Mrs. Qian unconsciously looked at the figure of Mrs. Yu Xiang leaving, but in the end, her eyes fell on the young man who was beside Mrs. Yu Xiang with a delicate appearance and extraordinary bearing at a young age, and her eyes couldn't help but carry deep regret.
If it weren't for the Yang family's current position, this Yu Xiaolangjun would really be a good match for her family's Yu'er.
To be honest, she still doesn't agree with her husband's words to ask her not to have more contact with Mrs. Yu Xiang, the current situation is very obvious, the court and the new emperor are weak, and even a few aliens can't drive them away, if Yu Xiang and Mrs. Yu Xiang have the heart to compete in this world, except for the unjustifiable name, there are almost no weaknesses!
And what if the name is not right? When they get this world in their hands, won't it be justified?
When the time comes, they want to marry their daughter to Yu Xiaolangjun, but they are afraid that no one will look down on them!
Mrs. Qian bit her lip and pressed the unwillingness and anger in her heart hard, so that she was able to take her eyes back.
On the way back, Shen Qing unconsciously kept staring at Yu Zihan, Yu Zihan couldn't understand his mother's eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Mother, what's wrong?" But what's wrong with me? ”
As he spoke, he unconsciously raised his hand and touched his cheek.
Shen Qing sighed secretly, not knowing what to say.
When she was in the capital before, there were already many people who wanted to marry their family openly and secretly, not to mention that now she and Yu Jiuqing openly broke with the imperial court, in the eyes of many people, they have already started to chase the world, and the relationship between her and Yu Jiuqing, the only son, is even more attention-grabbing.
Even Shen Qing always felt that his son was still young, but he had to admit that in ancient times when men were sixteen years old and women were fifteen years old, Yu Zihan could indeed marry at this age.
It's also normal for other people to have all kinds of thoughts.
She couldn't help touching Yu Zihan's head and said, "It's okay, I just thought that you were getting bigger and bigger, and I felt a little emotional." ”
Yu Zihan was stunned for a moment, suddenly looked at Shen Qing, and said, "Mother, in that case, can you tell me what happened to my father and the Yu family before?" ”
After a pause, he said: "I know that my father must have had some unpleasant things with the Yu family before, and I want to know my father and mother better, so that I can better help my father and mother." ”
Sima Yu on the side looked at the serious and calm young man with the side face line with some surprise.
Unexpectedly, this guy with a poisonous mouth and no understanding at all still has such a side.
She had a slightly different opinion of him.
Shen Qing was stunned, was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not impossible to tell you these things, those people in the Yu family seem to be in Xizhou, the more you know, the more vigilant they can be."
You should know that your grandfather and grandmother passed away one after another in the year your father was born. ”
Yu Zihan nodded.
He knew about this, and there was still a tablet of his grandfather and grandmother in his home in the capital before.
Shen Qing paused, and said slowly: "Your grandfather was a county magistrate at the time, because of the sudden epidemic, and your grandmother died of infection one after another, and your father, who was just a baby, could only be taken back to the Yu family to raise, just because of the sudden death of your grandfather and grandmother, everyone said that they were killed by your father."
Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother blamed your father for your grandfather's death, and even thought about throwing him away, in this situation, your father's status in the Yu family is worse than a servant, and he was thrown into the side courtyard since he was a child, but fortunately, the old grandmother who was sent to take care of your father once took care of your grandfather and grandmother, and she couldn't bear to let your father disappear like this, and pulled your father up alone. ”
Yu Jiuqing's specific situation at that time, Shen Qing didn't say, and he couldn't bear to say it.
Yu Jiuqing now has many old scars on his body, and those scars are not left when he led his troops to fight, but when he was a child, he was beaten and humiliated by the Yu family at will.
At that time, not to mention the other masters of the Yu family, even the servants of the Yu family could kick him at will when they didn't like him, and no one would say anything about them.
When Shen Qing came to this world on a mission, he had read the background information of Yu Jiuqing in detail.
But no matter how well you know his background, it is not as shocking as Shen Qing when she saw him in person.
She will always remember that when she first saw Yu Jiuqing, his eyes seemed to be covered with a thick layer of frost, and there was no sadness, joy or anger in them, just like a delicate and unpopular puppet, as if he was in a different world from everyone else. 65
