Chapter 10: The Strange Second Room
Shen Tinglan cried for a long time, his tears dried up, his eyes were swollen, and he knelt in front of the copper basin to burn paper.
He knelt until the next morning, and he did not listen to anyone's persuasion.
Shen Yu'an couldn't stand it anymore, so she forcibly asked people to take Shen Tinglan to rest.
I was going to follow, but the sisters talked about their hearts, but unexpectedly, the second room family came back.
Before anyone arrived, the second aunt's sharp cry had already sounded.
"Huaizhi, you died so miserably!"
Shen Yu'an frowned instantly, and her eyes followed the source of the voice.
A plump woman over forty years old, with the support of her mother-in-law, walked hurriedly, her face full of tears and sadness.
Behind the Li family, followed by Shen Qinian, the second master of the Shen family who was middle-aged and blessed, Lu Dongming, the eldest aunt with a thin figure, Shen Jiahe, the eldest lady, Shen Zhirong, the fourth young master, and Shen Yanqing, the thirteen-year-old seventh young master.
Lu Dongming was holding a five-year-old boy in his arms.
The group soon arrived at the mourning hall, and Li Shi cried sadly while holding on to the coffin.
The second master, Shen Qinian, had red eyes.
Shen Jiahe, Shen Zhirong, and Shen Yanqing all had tears in their eyes.
Shen Yu watched them quietly, without any expression on her face.
General Shen had six sons in his life, the third, the fifth, and the sixth, who died on the battlefield, and who were alive, the eldest Shen Fengnian, the second Shen Qinian, and the fourth Shen Maonian.
Shen Maonian is now on the southwest border with his family.
Several brothers, except for Shen Qinian, are all military generals.
Shen Qinian is a concubine, he went to the battlefield when he was young, and he was unwilling to join the army because he was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Later, General Shen gave him a captain of the Xuanjie in Li County.
He has no great ability, but he has a lot of thoughts, and he has always hoped to be transferred back to Beijing.
"Yan Qing! Get down on your knees for your uncle! Your third brother is gone, and you will be your uncle's son in the future, replacing your three brothers, and doing your filial piety in front of your uncle! Shen Qinian choked up and said.
said, looking at Shen Fengnian sadly, "Big brother, Yan Qing, this child will be raised by your side in the future, and he will do his filial piety for his three brothers." ”
Shen Fengnian was stunned.
Pei, who was secretly crying, was also stunned.
The relatives of the Shen family, as well as the guests who came to mourn, all looked at Shen Fengnian.
"In the future, Yan Qing will be the son of the eldest uncle, Yan Qing is here to the eldest uncle, no, he is kowtowing to his father!"
Shen Yanqing knelt down in front of Shen Fengnian, folded his hands together, leaned forward, prostrate on the ground, and made a big salute.
Shen Fengnian froze in place, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Everyone present is an understanding person, Shen Fengnian's three sons are dead, this title of Pingxi Marquis Mansion needs to be inherited, and sooner or later he will have to succeed a son.
What everyone is ashamed of is that the second room of the Shen family actually started the idea of a knighthood at Shen Shizi's funeral.
Shen Fengnian was not happy in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Second brother said that he laughed, Yan Qing is an old man you hold in the palm of your hand, how can I, as a brother, rob you of your blessings?" ”
"Isn't your son, my brother?" Shen Qinian's face was sincere, "Although Yan Qing is not as good as Huaizhi, he is also an obedient person, knows some martial arts, knows a little about literature and ink, and hopes that the eldest brother will not give up." ”
said this, if Shen Fengnian refused, it would be equivalent to him looking down on Shen Yanqing.
"There is only one male baby in the fourth family, and there are two in the second family, this Hou Mansion needs an heir, if you don't choose one from the second family, you have to choose one from the clan, you can recognize the boss."
Old General Shen said, his tone was a little helpless.
Shen Fengnian is difficult to ride a tiger.
"Master Tzu Chi of Huguo Temple said that my brother is still alive." Shen Yu'an said lightly.
In her previous life, her brother died, and her second uncle was the same, and in her brother's mourning hall, she proposed to succeed Shen Yanqing.
The father was helpless and agreed.
If Jiang Bingyue hadn't calculated in her previous life, the wealth and glory that her father and brother had fought for would have to fall into the hands of Shen Yanqing.
Her brother hasn't even passed the first seven years, and the second room has such an idea!
Everyone's eyes looked at Shen Yu'an.
There was no expression on the woman's beautiful face, standing quietly, cold and cold.
Her gaze was fixed on Shen Qinian, the second master of the Shen family.
Shen Qinian was a little stunned, "Huaizhi is still saved?" Aren't they all starting to have funerals? ”
On the first seven days, the Tzu Chi Master of Huguo Temple will bring a group of senior monks to summon my brother's spirit, and at that time, I hope that the second uncle's family can help me welcome my brother back."
Shen Yu'an said it word by word, and everyone heard it clearly, and they were all shocked.
"Brother Yan Qing should stay with the second uncle, so that he can be filial to the second uncle."
Shen Yu'an stepped forward and personally helped Shen Yanqing up.
looked at Shen Qinian again, and curtsied his knees, "Yu An for my father and mother, thank you for the kindness of my second uncle." ”
Shen Qinian looked embarrassed, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Huai Zhi can come back to life, it is naturally better than anything else." ”
Li Shi, whose face was full of tears, didn't know if he should continue to cry.
Shen Zhirong and Shen Jiahe, brother and sister, had tears in their eyes.
"Daddy, if my uncle doesn't be the son of my grandfather, will I have no money?"
The five-year-old child in the arms of the eldest aunt Lu Dongming asked innocently with his head held high.
The two-bedroom family is even more embarrassed.
Shen Yu'an looked at the innocent little baby, "As the son of my grandfather, why can I be rich?" ”
"Because ......"
Lu Dongming covered his son's mouth and looked at Shen Yu'an embarrassedly, "Childish words, don't take the second sister to heart." ”
Shen Yu'an seemed to be smiling, "Childish words can also cause misunderstandings, I don't know, I think the second uncle's family is looking forward to my brother's death." ”
"Okay, family, don't say something that you don't have." Old General Shen said in a deep voice.
Shen Yu'an didn't say much, the old grandfather didn't want outsiders to see the jokes, she shouldn't make the old man dislike.
"Big brother didn't make it clear, this funeral was a big deal, I thought Huaizhi was really gone, I cried so much along the way, and I was in a hurry day and night, and half my life was about to be turned upside down." Li Shi complained.
hugged his grandson from Lu Dongming's arms, and then looked at Pei Shi, who was sitting still, "Sister-in-law, we haven't rested much along the way, we're tired and panicked, let's arrange a place to live." ”
Pingxi Hou Mansion was given by the emperor when Shen Fengnian defeated the Western Yuan Kingdom two years ago, and it was Shen Fengnian's personal mansion, and the second room of the Shen family had no place to live in the Hou Mansion.
"Yes, auntie, we don't rest, and the children need to rest too." Shen Jiahe echoed and said.
Seeing that her brother's title was gone, she was not happy.
"The General's Mansion is not far from here, after dinner, the second uncle and the second aunt should go back to the General's Mansion to rest." Shen Yu'an said.
In the previous life, the second room and the family rested in the Hou Mansion, and completely regarded the Hou Mansion as their own home, and they were the masters.
She didn't want it to happen again.
Li Shi frowned and looked at Shen Yu'an dissatisfied.
"You girl, don't you know who feels sorry for your elders? For the sake of your brother, we have been on the road since yesterday, and we have not dared to stop for two hundred miles from Li County to here. ”
