Chapter 297: Concubines
Wen Mo paused, and after coming back to his senses, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and muttered, "Old... Old lady ......"
Mother Shen pursed her lips, her eyes fell on his face, and asked in a low voice, "Who handed over the invitation?" ”
"The small ones don't ......"
"Wenmo, you were bought by our Shen family when you were young, and you grew up with Aji, the Shen family is kind to you, you shouldn't deceive your master."
Wen Mo wanted to prevaricate, but Shen Mu saw his intention and directly stopped his words.
Wen Mo's shoulders shrunk, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to respond.
"Azi is very strange during this time, he is depressed all day, but he can call an invitation to mess up his emotions." Mother Shen's eyes stared at Wen Mo without blinking, trying to find something from his face, "I'm curious, who has such a great ability, you have to tell the truth, otherwise ......"
Mother Shen narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice, "I'll drive you out of the Shen family." ”
Wen Mo was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked up at Shen's mother, and whispered, "Old lady......"
"Say." Mother Shen's face was indifferent, and her tone was flat, "Whether you can continue to stay in the Shen family depends on your attitude today." ”
Wen Mo ran out of ideas, and the coolness spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
If the old lady knows that the person she likes is Mrs. Hou, and there are a pair of children under her knees, I am afraid that there will be a big trouble.
The gentleman has a great kindness to himself, how can he abandon him?
This can be concealed for a while, but it is for a while.
Wen Mo pursed his lips, his body trembled slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "If the old lady insists on this...... The little one is willing to leave the house. ”
Mother Shen frowned, and asked in a loud voice, "Are you serious?" ”
Wen Mo fell to the ground and gritted his teeth, "The little one who first came to the Shen family was arranged to be by Mr. ”
"What a master and servant." Mother Shen snorted coldly, her tone unpleasant, "You asked to leave the house for the sake of Aji, which just reflects the simplicity of the person who sent the post." ”
"The more that's the case, the more I'm going to figure out what's going on here!"
Wen Mo's heart sank, and he persuaded in a low voice, "Old lady, Mr. is twenty-eight this year, you can decide what kind of road you should take in this life, why do you have to press step by step, is it possible that you must be separated from mother and son, are you satisfied?" ”
"What are you talking about? When will you have your part in my presence? Mother Shen stared at him, and her tone was tough, "Ah Ji is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he plays a pivotal role in the court, how many people have come to me to compliment, such an excellent son was born to me, why can't I care about it?" ”
Wen Mo was speechless, and his heart was cold for most of the time, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Mr.
"Since you have to hide it for him, I don't want to say more, pack your bags and leave the Shen family, we don't lack you a subordinate."
Mother Shen glanced at him, her face was uneasy, "You have been taking care of Aji for many years, there is no merit and hard work, I let you go and don't sell you elsewhere, you should be grateful." ”
Wen Mo was stunned for a long time before he replied in a low voice, "Thank you, little old lady." ”
When the sun set, Shen Ji went home in the remnants of the sun, still carrying a lot of boxes in his hands, and he didn't know what happy things he had encountered, with a shallow smile on his lips.
As soon as he stepped into the front yard, Shen Ji saw the second elder sitting in the lobby at a glance.
Father Shen also saw Shen Ji, beckoned to him, and laughed in a low voice, "Aji, come here for Dad." ”
Shen Ji hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and called softly, "Dad, mother." ”
Mother Shen looked at him, her eyes fell on the box in his hand, and slowly opened her mouth, "What are you taking?" ”
Shen Ji's fingertips pressed slightly, hid the box behind him, and said in a deep voice, "I brought some gifts to my friend." ”
Shen Mu hummed lightly, beckoned to the back, and the corners of her mouth raised a touch of arc, "Qinglian, I've come to see Mr." ”
As soon as the words fell, the woman's figure slowly stepped out from behind the curtain, dressed in cloth, her little face was immature, and she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was pitiful.
The woman walked up to Shen's mother in small steps, bowed to Shen Ji, and said softly, "Slave Qinglian, I've seen Mr." ”
Shen Ji's face was a little unpleasant, and his eyes fell on Shen's mother, "What is my mother going to do?" ”
Without waiting for Shen's mother to speak, Shen's father smiled and took over the conversation, and said in a low voice, "You have been pure and have few desires for so many years, and your mother feels that it is because there is no woman beside her, so she has found a well-behaved and clever one for you to take care of your daily life." ”
"That's right." Mother Shen nodded slowly and lowered her voice, "You don't look down on Sisi, maybe you don't fit your eyes, you let Qinglian follow you to serve, if you fall in love with her, it's good to bring her into the house as a concubine." ”
Looking at the elegant and noble gentleman, Qing Lian's cheeks suddenly reddened, his head hung slightly, and he only dared to poke and poke at him.
Shen Ji's gaze swept over the three people in front of him, and he only felt ridiculous, "My career is not stable now, my official fortune has just improved, and I suddenly take a concubine, how will the emperor think of me?" What should the Manchu civil and military say about me? ”
"Hey, it's just a concubine." Shen's mother glared at him, completely ignoring what her son meant, "Can the emperor still manage your private affairs?" Besides, look at those big and small officials, there is a lot of chaos in the house with a little money, how can you say that yours is not? ”
Father Shen also nodded, and his tone was deep, "Aji, parents always have to plan more for their children, your mother is right, she is old, and her body is not good, you follow her in this matter." ”
"The son is not filial, forgive his fate." Shen Ji's face was cold, and there was no joy in his eyes, "I don't ask the second elder to help me in my career, but please don't block me." ”
"Whether it is to take a concubine or take her to serve by his side, his son will not agree." Shen Ji's expression was faint, and he didn't want to say more to them, "There is Wen Mo by my son's side, it's enough." ”
Hearing this, Shen's mother's face changed, and she sighed heavily, "Don't think about it when you hear the ink." ”
Shen Ji frowned, his eyes fixed on her, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Mother Shen had a calm face and a stiff tone, "Wen Mo has no owner in his eyes, he doesn't know the etiquette, he openly contradicts me, and he has already asked me to be kicked out." ”
Shen Ji's heart trembled, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes, "This is impossible, I watched Wen Mo grow up with my own eyes, he is definitely not what his mother said!" ”
"Shut up!" Father Shen's face was extremely bad, he slammed his cane on the ground, and scolded him loudly, "There are no rules, your mother is the one who gave birth to you and raised you, and you have today, all rely on her, how can you talk to her like this?" ”
Shen's mother also had red eyes, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Aji, for so many years, your father and I have been looking forward to your success day and night. ”
"Finally, when you became a big official, our family's life was finally better, why did you change your mind and judge the two of you before......"
