The Wu'an Hou Mansion has been very lively this year.

The eldest son who values the most married his daughter-in-law, and even brought his grandson home, Zhou Baolu, a family stirrger, completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and the old lady was in a very comfortable mood.

The matter of the second child being released has finally been decided. He has been a fifth-rank official for many years, but this time he was directly promoted to the fourth-rank and went to a prefecture to serve as a parent official.

Shen Tingyi has always been steady and capable, as long as he does things in a down-to-earth manner after he is released, the affairs of the capital will naturally be handled by Shen Tingjun and his father-in-law. It can be said that his great future is ahead, how can the old lady not be happy when she sees this?

The family is harmonious, the children and grandchildren are under the knees, and the future of the children is very good, the old lady has always had a smile in her eyes.

But seeing the san lang who has always been loved, there was a forced smile on his face, and then he looked at Rong An's little person, who moved around the chair a little awkwardly, and the old lady's happy heart was a little cloudy.

This is the Chinese New Year, and Rong An is wearing a very festive one - since Zhou Baolu was imprisoned, the grandmother who took care of Rong An has given him more plain clothes. Especially Zhou Baolu was sentenced by the palace to be decided, and after that, Mama didn't dare to wear some brightly colored clothes for Rong An.

Although the final decision ended without a hitch, Zhou Baolu did not see anyone alive or dead. But who has been serving in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion all the year round is not a bright-eyed person?

The grandmothers who should ask will ask, and if they shouldn't, they will be killed, and they will not speak.

And they have been wearing plain clothes for Rong An with apprehensive thoughts, but no one in the house, whether it is the old lady or Mrs. Hou, said that it was inappropriate. What this represents, even if everyone doesn't say it, they actually know it in their hearts.

It is also for this reason that these days, Rong'an has been living according to the rules of filial piety. Only today's Chinese New Year will the children be indulged and be lazy and comfortable.

After the meal, the children were let out to play with fireworks.

Rong Xi and Rong Xun are the oldest, one of them is holding the hand of his sister Rong Xin, the other is holding Rong An, and they also beckoned to the grandmother who was holding the crane and said, "Take my brother out to play." ”

He'er is a small person who has a lot of fun, and he can't wait to go out with his brothers and sisters. Only he knew that he was young and cold outside. Normally, at this time, he would have to stay...... During the Chinese New Year, he didn't want to play in the house.

The little one leaned out, reaching for the curtain.

When everyone in the room saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh. In the end, it was the old lady who loved her grandson, so she opened her mouth to agree to the matter. It's just that people also cover the cranes tightly, but they don't dare to see the wind and get cold.

Soon most of the New Year passed.

During the Chinese New Year, Shen Tingjun didn't have to go to the early court, let alone go to the yamen, so naturally he just wanted to hold nephrite and warm incense on the bed.

But this is clearly impossible.

Not to mention that some lower officials will come to visit him, just that Shen Tingyi is also about to travel away.

He didn't let it go, the most important thing is that he has never been a landlord, and he is somewhat bottomless in his heart. Shen Tingjun told his second brother last night that he would find some useful books for him today. In addition, although he didn't let it go, he had a lot of experience as a chief officer, and he passed on some of his experience to his second brother, maybe it would be enough for him to be useful.

There were still too many things to be busy, so Shen Tingjun had to let go of the soft and delicate lump in his arms, and got up unwillingly.

Sang Xuanyue waited until Shen Tingjun left the room before she got up with blushing cheeks.

When she got up, she went to see the crane first, and then took the child to greet the old lady. Clinker had just sat down at the old lady's place, and someone came to look for her in front of her, saying that there was something on the Hou Ye's side and asked her to go over.

Sang Twist Moon is a little inexplicable.

Shen Tingjun just went to the front yard, most of the things in the front yard are related to complicated official business, how can she help?

thought so in her heart, but the old lady urged her with a smile, and Sang Xuanyue also left He'er with the old lady, got up and went to the front yard to find Shen Tingjun.

Shen Tingjun was meeting guests, and Sang Xuanyue was led to the study by Cheng Lin.

The study is secluded, and there are no outsiders, so Cheng Lin told the reason why the master came over to find Sang.

He scratched his head, a little difficult to speak, but in the end, he said: "Just now, someone from the Evergreen County Monarch's Mansion sent a letter over." ”

Sang Xuanyue raised her head when she heard this.

Although he knew that Shen Tingjun and Evergreen had already reconciled, there was no affection between the two, only the return of interests. But after all, Evergreen is Shen Tingjun's wife, and she is the woman who has accompanied Shen Tingjun through his green years and is closest to him.

She can not care about others, but for Evergreen, just listening to her name, she can't be like water.

But now that the husband and wife are in harmony with the beautiful life, and the confidence to be named the wife of the country, although Sang Xuanyue frowned for a moment when she heard Changrong's name, she was not too out of shape in the end.

But her frowning scared Cheng Lin enough.

Cheng Lin hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "The master and the Evergreen Junjun have not been in contact with each other for all these years. He carefully told the story that Prince Rong was embezzled a huge amount of money by the imperial history, and it turned out that the "real murderer" behind the scenes was Shen Tingjun.

Shen Tingjun's disgust with that family was to the core, so naturally it was impossible for him to have any friendship with Changrong.

And the reason why the porter received the letter from the Evergreen County Jun's Mansion this time was also because this letter was very important. The letter was sent by the Celestial Junjun's side, and she opened her mouth to say: "This letter is related to the death of the old prince......

As soon as these words come out, who would dare to slack off?

Even if the porter didn't want to accept this hot potato, he had to take the letter over for a while and send it to Shen Tingjun quickly.

But Shen Tingjun was meeting guests as soon as he came; Second, it is obviously very greasy to Evergreen; Third, the man who has just married learned from the prince and knows many ways for husband and wife to get along. Therefore, he decisively asked Sang Xuanyue to call her and asked her to read the letter first, so as not to make an unpleasant incident between the husband and wife because of this matter, and regret it afterwards.

Obviously, Shen Tingjun's handling is very correct, at least Sang Xuanyue's complexion has improved now, not as gloomy as Fang Cai.

But thinking of what Cheng Lin just said, the incident mentioned in the letter should be related to the old marquis, that is, Shen Tingjun's father, Sang Xuanyue couldn't help but hesitate for a while. She opened the letter first, is it really good?

Speaking of Xianwu Anhou, he is also a stunningly talented and wealthy character.

Sang Xuanyue's understanding of him is also limited to the early death of Wu'an Hou in his prime. He died too hastily, and the reason is unknown, and the rumors in the outside world about this are that Xianwu Anhou had an illness and went in a hurry.

Sang Xuanyue also thought the same way earlier, but now looking at the letter in her hand, she suddenly became unsure. She had an intuition that the death of the Marquis of Xianwu Anhou Mansion had a deep inside story, and this inside story was the reason why Shen Tingjun and Changrong finally went to strangeness.

Sang Xuanyue held the letter, frowning, and his expression wandered.

Seeing this, Cheng Lin knew what she was hesitating, so he said again: "The master said, let the lady see it first, and he will come over after seeing the guest."

When the words fell, Lin Chong waved to Su Jin, who was standing next to him, and then the two walked out of the study together and went to stand outside.

The room was quiet, and Sang Xuanyue didn't hesitate much, but reached out and tore open the sticky and tight envelope.

There were only two thin sheets of paper in the envelope, but the contents of the paper were greatly beyond Sang Yueyue's expectations.

Her pupils dilated, and her brows furrowed fiercely. It was at this time that the voices of Cheng Lin and Su Jin asking for peace came from outside, and then the familiar footsteps were getting closer and closer, and someone pushed open the door.

The room suddenly lit up, under a bright daylight. Sang Xuanyue waved the paper in her hand and looked at Shen Tingjun who came in, and when he closed the door again, she couldn't help but whisper: "Father-in-law, father-in-law died of poisoning?" ”

Shen Tingjun didn't answer the letter in her hand first, but put his arm around her waist and sat down on the chair next to her.

He put his arms around her waist, sniffed the fragrance on his body, buried his head in the side of her neck, and let out a muffled "um" after a long time.

Xianwu Anhou is definitely a strict father to Shen Tingjun, but he is also a loving father.

Shen Tingjun was sent to the palace to accompany the prince since he was a child. It can be said that with such a son, it is difficult for Wu Anhou not to like it, and it is difficult not to be proud of it.

Wu Anhou also really has high hopes for this son, expecting him to make meritorious contributions and make achievements that are not inferior to his ancestors.

Shen Tingjun did not take the road of being an official, but wanted to take the scientific examination, which was the life plan of Xianwu Anhou for him. After all, as a person who came over, Xianwu Anhou had enough of the benefits of being a son of a family, but because he did not have a serious imperial examination background, this also limited his future and future.

He has suffered losses and detours, and naturally he doesn't want his son to go through it again.

Therefore, the father and son talked heart-to-heart, and Xianwu Anhou set an itinerary for Shen Tingjun to participate in the imperial examination early.

It's a pity that before Shen Tingjun really ends, Xia Wu Anhou died of poisoning because of a moment of carelessness.

Speaking of this "poisoning", if ordinary people were poisoned, Xianwu Anhou would naturally not be defenseless.

But if the matter involves a female dependent, and the female dependent also had some childhood sweethearts and unsuspecting friendship with Xianwu Anhou, then Wu Anhou was easily recruited, and it is not difficult to understand.

Shen Tingjun said that he had already found out the truth about this paragraph, but he had not told his mother for a long time.

But it turned out that Xianwu Anhou had a very close friendship with his current cousin, Princess Yu'an. The young man in fresh clothes and angry horses, and the beautiful and noble son of heaven, the man and the lover are intended, and they could have been fake.

The bad thing is that on the 50th birthday of the first emperor, the prince of the subject country came to congratulate him on his birthday.

The prince fell in love with Princess Yu'an at first sight, and Princess Yu'an's eldest brother drowned before that. In order to fight for the position of the prince of the palace for her younger brother, who was only five or six years old, and to keep the glory and wealth of her mother and younger brother, Princess Yu'an gritted her teeth and decided to make peace.

The fate of Xianwu Anhou and Princess Yu'an has come to an end. Wu Anhou also married the old lady three years later. But Xu can't forget Princess Yu'an, Xu is old lady's temperament and appearance are not as good as Wu Anhou's favor, and the relationship between the couple is just mediocre.

Of course, this is only in Wu Anhou's opinion.

But in fact, if she can marry Wu Anhou, who has a combination of appearance and talent, how can the old lady not be happy? The old lady regards her husband as the sky, and she must bow to her husband's affairs, and has been married for more than ten years, giving birth to children, presiding over the feed, and even when her health is inconvenient, she has made a room for Wu'an Houna's concubine, and the old lady has done everything and has no complaints.

But Wu Anhou always has Princess Yu'an hidden in his heart.

More than ten years passed in a blink of an eye, and there was a rebellion in the subject country, and Princess Yu'an's husband was killed in the chaos. The subject country broke away from the control of Great Qin and came under the rebels, and Princess Yu'an had to escape to Great Qin with her subordinates.

It was also after Princess Yu'an returned to Beijing that one day Wu'an Hou received an invitation to go to meet the old man.

The two of them also abide by etiquette, but when they talk about the past, they can't help but feel melancholy. The wine was put on the table, and Wu Anhou unconsciously drank a few more glasses. After he returned home, he suddenly vomited blood at night, and then lingered on the sickbed and died soon after.

Afterwards, Shen Tingjun investigated the matter deeply, but it turned out that the wine had been tampered with when he was in the country.

The rebels of the subject country originally thought that after Princess Yu'an returned to Beijing, they would dedicate this elixir and jade brew to His Majesty, so when Princess Yu'an escaped, they deliberately let her go. After Princess Yu'an entered Beijing, she did offer a lot of things to His Majesty, but only this jar of wine, she stayed, and drank with the bamboo horse in the past.

Speaking carefully, Xianwu Anhou actually blocked a catastrophe for His Majesty. And because it was his cousin who was not careful, this killed Wu'anhou's life, and the emperor felt guilty about Wu'anhou's mansion.

Originally, the matter ended here, after all, Wu Anhou has passed away, and there is no point in pursuing it. And although Princess Yu'an was lucky to save her life, she also fell into a coma, and the imperial doctor also said that it was unlikely that she would wake up later.

But then Shen Tingjun happened to learn from the attendants of the Marquis of Xianwu An, that on the night of his father's death, he had seen the maid beside the county lord of Changrong at Princess Yu'an.

Shen Tingjun was suspicious of this, and let people secretly investigate, but finally learned that Princess Yu'an had this meeting with her father, and she had to thank the lord of Changrong.

It was the lord of Evergreen who couldn't bear his mother-in-law's birth, and he was anxious and indignant, so he wanted to block his mother-in-law.

She is the lord of the royal family, and it is really convenient to inquire about some things. So, it was easy to lock Princess Yu'an.

It can be said that if there is no Evergreen in it, Yu'an may not pull his face to feast on his former lover. And if there was no banquet, Xianwu Anhou would not have died, and Shen Tingjun would not have directly reconciled with Changrong after being angry.

Sang Xuanyue listened carefully to Shen Tingjun talking about the past, and then lowered his head to look at the letter.

That's not what Evergreen Junjun said on the letterhead. She said that she had simply heard that her aunt had returned to Beijing, and she felt that she was too pitiful to be widowed at this age, so she went to visit.

During this period, when talking about the past when she was young, my aunt was very nervous. But she only thought that her aunt was simply nostalgic for the past, but where did she know that her aunt actually remembered the former Wu'anhou, and she posted a post to invite Wu'anhou to meet that night.

In the letter, Evergreen is still defending himself. also said that she was about to leave Beijing, but she couldn't let go of this matter, so she still had to make it clear to Shen Tingjun after thinking about it, and return her innocence......

Sang Xuanyue was watching carefully, and Shen Tingjun suddenly pulled the paper out of her hand.

He said: "If I had known that her letter was full of these useless things, I would not have asked someone to call you to bother you about it." ”

He sneered: "Up to now, she still doesn't think about herself, she is still prevaricating, and she really hasn't grown for ten years." ”

Hearing this, Sang Xuanyue didn't think Shen Tingjun's words were excessive.

If everything he said is true, then it is not an exaggeration to say that the Lord of Evergreen has a grudge against him for killing his father. He did not ruin Changrong's reputation, and even after he left, he did not make a move against Changrong and Prince Rong's mansion. only draws a line with separation, he can already be regarded as a good temperament.

Sang Twisting Yue shook her head and said, "I don't think there is anything that bothers me about this. I just rushed to know the cause of my father-in-law's death, and I couldn't digest it for a while. ”

Shen Tingjun touched his head and asked her, "Do you feel disappointed?" When my father was alive, he was also known as a wise and martial artist, and he was also a confidant of His Majesty. But because he couldn't pass the 'love' level, he lost his life. ”

The dignified Wu Anhou finally died because of this, and he was afraid that people would laugh off his big teeth when he said it.

In order to maintain his father's reputation, and he didn't want his mother to be sad about it, only Shen Tingjun, the county lord of Changrong, and the emperor and prince in the palace knew about this matter, and the rest of the people didn't know about it.

Most of them thought that Wu Anhou went because of illness. What the disease was, they couldn't say.

The old lady of Wu'an Hou knew the real reason for her husband's death, after all, when the Hou Ye was dying, the old lady was personally guarding in front of the bed. But even if the old lady wants to break her head, I am afraid that she will not be able to imagine that Xianwu Anhou is indeed guilty of his majesty, but when he drinks again, he has other thoughts, and it is true to think about it.

Shen Tingjun did not tell his mother about this matter, for fear that his mother would be sad and sad, and he felt that he had entrusted him with nothing for half his life. The younger brothers and sisters below, Shen Tingjun didn't dare to tell them, for fear of ruining Wu Anhou's image in their hearts, and even more afraid that they would be young and light-looking, and they would be tricked and asked what they shouldn't ask.

Now that Sang Xuanyue knows about this, Shen Tingjun breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, those words that have been held back for ten years can finally be said.

He first said that his father's decades of wisdom were ruined, and then said that although His Majesty recognized this "life-saving grace", he was ashamed of it.

He also mentioned that when his father Fang died, he took over the burden of Wu'an Hou at that time, wanted to gain a firm foothold in the court, and wanted to continue to maintain the lintel of Wu'an Hou's mansion. He was emaciated by it, and during that time, he was still in a cold war with Evergreen and separated from him, and he was anxious every day.

Shen Tingjun talked about these pasts, and his eyes were calm. When Sang Xuanyue heard this, she couldn't help but think of his tired and numb figure at the beginning, and she suddenly felt very distressed, hugging his neck and rubbing his neck, she just hated that she could go back in time, and appease him at that time.

She thought that it was her who was by his side at that time, not Evergreen. If she is around, she will comfort him with gentle words every day, or simply pour him a cup of tea and sit quietly with him for half a day, so that he can have a time to relax and rest.

It's a pity that time doesn't look back, and all she thinks can only be empty.

Speaking of Changrong's departure from Beijing, Sang Xuanyue couldn't help but ask Shen Tingjun: "Is this true or false?" ”

"It should be true." Prince Rong's mansion fell, and Changrong was also demoted, and her life in the capital was not easy. The most important thing is that there is still a mess of family members hiding in her house to enjoy Qingfu. Evergreen should be tossed a lot, so he has the heart to stay away.

But whether she leaves Beijing or not, what does it have to do with him? Husbands and wives who have become strangers, their fate in this life has long come to an end.
