Chapter 697: Shen Bijun
Song Qing's retreat at this time is really unconvincing, but it is more like an excuse to close the door to thank guests, Li Chun and Li Shentong father and son naturally will not believe that Song Qing is really in retreat, in their opinion, the Song family does not want to go against the imperial court, and the other side is a family, so they came up with this strategy and directly announced that they would close the door and thank the guests. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
"Then, what should we do, Song Qing closed the door to thank the guests, I'm afraid that I already have the heart to compromise with the imperial court, should we give up the Song family?"
Li Shentong looked at Li Chun, for the Song family's approach, it was beyond his expectations, and it also made him disdainful, without a fight, the army surrendered, the court has not yet made difficulties, the Song family has already put on a compromise and soft appearance, which makes him look down on him a little, in his mind, although the court is powerful, but their families are not easy to knead, the years are golden, after several ups and downs, the family still can't stand, this time naturally can't.
Maybe a single family is insignificant in front of the imperial court, even if it is their Li family, or the Shuzhong Wang family, the Jiangnan Shen family, and the Lingnan Song family, they are all insignificant compared to the imperial court, but when they are united, they definitely have the power that the imperial court fears, not in terms of strength, but in the resource control and influence of the Central Plains, as long as all the families are united, they definitely have the power to overthrow the Central Plains.
Since ancient times, it is not that no king has ever thought about dealing with these families, there have been, and there are many, but in the end they have not succeeded, but they have compromised with them, because the influence of the family in the Central Plains is too great, once united, it is enough to overturn the world, and the people are not happy, because of the fear of this, every king who wants to deal with the family eventually has to stop, which is also the reason why the family has always existed, and it is also the confidence of the Li family to dare to confront the court this time, they are confident that as long as they unite all the families, with the influence of each family in the Central Plains, in the end Ning Caichen will definitely compromiseใ
"No, the Song family must be in the same boat with us, this time in the face of the imperial court, we must concentrate the strength of all our families in the Central Plains, the Song family has a pivotal position in Lingnan, and the strength of the Song and Qing dynasties cannot be ignored, one more Song family, one more influence, and if the Song family compromises with the imperial court, I am afraid that some timid people will also waver and finally choose to compromise with the Song family in the imperial court, and when the time comes, there is no need for the imperial court to make a move, and our Central Plains family has already collapsed with each other..."
Li Chun opened his mouth and said, regardless of his contempt or dissatisfaction with Song Qing's behavior, but he knew that at this time, the Song family would have to be tied to the same boat no matter what, compared to their Li family, although the Song family had a short rise time, but as the four major families of the Central Plains, the influence was undoubted, especially at this time, in the face of the imperial court, they must all the families work together, otherwise once Song Qing compromised with the imperial court, the chain reaction triggered by it may be their fatal point.
Li Shentong didn't speak again, but he also nodded, he knew that this time against the imperial court might be an opportunity for their Li family, but it was also playing with fire, once they didn't get it right, they might fall into the abyss, and there would be no bones, so they couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake, simply, the Shen family had already agreed to marry, as long as the Shen family and the Li family became in-laws, then their Li family would be half successful.
Shen Bijun, the head of the Shen family, is not only beautiful, but also a master of martial arts, the most important thing is that the Shen family has no males, once they marry the Li family and the Shen family, then the property of the Shen family is most likely to be annexed by the Li family in the future, and at that time, the Li family will integrate with the Shen family, and it will definitely be the first family in the Central Plains.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Shentong's handsome face couldn't help but smile, and a beautiful image also appeared in his mind.
On the other side, Jiangnan, Shen's house, in the pavilion by the lake, Shen Taijun, who was dressed in a gorgeous robe, sat in the small pavilion with a tiger head cane, Shen Taijun was over seventy years old, full of silver hair, but her face was not very old, ruddy and shiny, giving people a feeling of crane hair and childish face, opposite her was a woman wearing pink and white clothes, there was no joy or sorrow on her delicate and beautiful facial features, a green silk was hanging down, there was a noble and generous temperament, it was Shen Bijun, and there were two maids standing behind the two.
"Come on, Bijun, try this, you've always liked tea, this is the West Lake Longjing you just got..."
Shen Taijun smiled, like an old man with a kind face, while she was talking, a maid behind her respectfully stepped forward and poured a cup of tea on the table and handed it to Shen Bijun, but Shen Bijun didn't drink it, just glanced at it, and then looked at Shen Lao Taijun, looking at Shen Bijun's appearance, Shen Lao Taijun's originally smiling face slowly sank, the smile disappeared, and his eyes were slightly downcast.
Seeing Shen Lao Taijun's appearance, he didn't seem very happy, but Shen Bijun still looked cold and cold, and he was loud for a while, looking at Shen Lao Taijun, Shen Bijun spoke-
"Has grandma agreed to the marriage with the Li family?" Looking at Mrs. Shen, Shen Bijun sighed faintly in her heart.
"Why, don't you like it, what's wrong with Li Shentong, a talent, he broke through to the realm of martial arts at a young age, he is a handsome man in the world, and the Li family is a famous family in the world, and my Shen family is just right. โ
"I know that Li Shentong is also a handsome man in the world, but has grandma ever thought about the current situation. โ
Hearing Shen Lao Taijun's words, Shen Bijun felt a little helpless in her heart, she knew that Shen Taijun had always been very fond of Li Shentong, and liked the strength of the Li family, hoping that the two families would unite and join forces when the time came, but only she knew that the Li family had great plans against their Shen family, especially at this juncture, it was absolutely unwise to marry the Li family.
"The new land policy of the imperial court is being implemented, but the Li family is thinking of uniting the world's families to fight against the imperial court, can't grandma still see the danger, the Li family is playing with fire, and if it is not good, it will fall into the abyss, do you want our Shen family to follow the adventure, and now the Li family wants to marry us, but it is just a fancy to the power of our Shen family. โ
"I know that grandma has always loved the Li family, and Li Shentong is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people, but now that this is an extraordinary period, I still hope that grandma will take my Shen family as the priority. โ
Shen Bijun said earnestly, hoping to persuade Shen Lao Taijun, although the Shen family is now nominally dominated by her, but many times, Shen Lao Taijun is the decision-maker, not how strong Shen Lao Taijun is, in terms of strength, Shen Lao Taijun is just a martial artist, as long as Shen Bijun is willing, she can naturally completely control the Shen family, but since she was a child, she was brought up by Shen Lao Taijun, and she is now her only relative, Shen Bijun has always respected Shen Lao Taijun very much, as long as Shen Lao Taijun's words, she will not disobey, not that she has no ability to disobey, but she doesn't want to disobey Shen Lao Taijun's intentions, so for Shen Lao Taijun, different opinions, she has always been persuasiveand never violated.
After speaking, Shen Bijun looked at Mrs. Shen, hoping to persuade her, but she was destined to disappoint, only to see her words fall, Mrs. Shen's face sank.
"Hmph. Boom..."Old Mrs. Shen snorted, her face sank, and her crutches slammed heavily on the ground: "If you don't want to marry, then don't marry, I'll ask someone to refuse the Li family when I turn around, and the dowry will be sent back, anyway, you don't like it, and you don't care about my feelings as an old woman, let outsiders say that my old woman is going back on her word, there is no credit without credit, you only care about yourself anyway." โ
After speaking, Old Taijun Shen looked to the side angrily, not looking at Shen Taijun.
"Taijun, don't be angry, Miss is to say. An old housekeeper behind Mrs. Shen hurriedly stood up and said a few words to keep Mr. Shen safe, and then persuaded Shen Bijun: "Miss, why do you bother, Li Gongzi is the dragon and phoenix among the people, Miss and Li Shentong are together, this is a match made in heaven, as for the court issues that Miss is worried about, as long as my Central Plains family unites, with the influence of all my Central Plains families, even the imperial court will be afraid." โ
"The so-called law does not blame the public, and since ancient times, my Central Plains family has gone through ups and downs several times, hasn't it all come over like this, why should Miss worry about the sky, although the court is now powerful, but the influence of my Central Plains family united, the court does not dare to underestimate it. โ
The old housekeeper persuaded him bitterly, and he was of the same heart as Mrs. Shen.
Shen Bijun didn't speak for a while, looking at Shen Taijun, but she felt a tingling pain in her heart, she actually wanted to say that this time is different from the past, the current Jin Kingdom is no longer the dynasty of the past, at this time, it is best not to risk challenging the majesty of the imperial court, and the Li family is not as good as they think, but when the words come to his mouth, he can't say it again, she is a soft-hearted person, especially to Shen Lao Taijun, she can't even bear to disobey a little.
"Hmph, let's go! Since some people only think about themselves, it's a big deal that my old woman doesn't want a face, and I don't have many days to live anyway. โ
Seeing that Shen Bijun didn't speak for a long time, Old Taijun Shen snorted deliberately and got up to leave.
"Grandma, wait a minute. In the end, Shen Bijun spoke, and a trace of helplessness and sourness flashed in his eyes: "Bijun was brought up by grandma, how could she bear to make grandma unhappy, since grandma has agreed to this marriage, then agree, Bijun is willing to marry." โ
"Are you serious?, if you don't want to marry, grandma won't force you?" Old Mrs. Shen turned her head to look at Shen Bijun and asked deliberately, but a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
"Of course it's true, how can Bijun bear to go against Grandma's will. โ
Shen Bijun opened his mouth and smiled, but it was a little far-fetched.
"Okay!good!Okay!This is grandma's good granddaughter...."Shen Laotaijun's face turned from gloomy to sunny at once, and she quickly stepped up and took Shen Bijun's hand and said: "Bijun, it's not grandma forcing you, grandma is really good for you, you are grandma's heart, how can grandma harm you, the Li family's Li Shentong is not said in terms of appearance and talent, and he has reached the realm of martial arts at a young age. โ
"Well, I see, thank you, grandma,"
Shen Bijun smiled and said, but it seemed a little far-fetched. (To be continued.) )
