Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1185
While the vestibule of the General's Mansion was noisy, the inner court was not very peaceful.

This time, the entry into the Luo family is not limited to males, and many female relatives also follow.This is also because the Central Plains is gradually settled, and the Shen family's future focus will inevitably be placed more on the north.

While the family moved to the north to settle down, General Shen also used this to show his determination to carry the Northern Expedition to the end and to finish it all, and he was never satisfied with the situation of being trapped in Jiangdong.

People are more or less content with the status quo. It has been a generation since Yongjia moved to the south. Although many overseas Chinese miss their homeland, they are not necessarily eager to move back to their homeland.After all, the risk of this kind of family migration is too great. How is the hometown and whether they can settle down is secondary. If there are any twists and turns on the road, it is very likely that they will fall apart on the way.

However, after the recovery of the Central Plains, Xingtai urgently needed these people who had been under the rule of the king for a long time to enrich the place. It would be counterproductive if they were blindly forced to order, so the Shen family also took this as an example of the world and called for the flow of time to move back.

In addition, Xingtai even sent Qiao Wang Sima Wuji to Langya to hold festivals to repair and build the former emperor's homeland, to show that at the right time, even the tombs of the two former emperors may be moved back to their homeland for burial.

Of course, the current commotion in the inner court has nothing to do with the general situation of these families and the country, and the main thing is naturally the trivial matters in Shen Mu's house.Shen Mu in the vestibule was beaten by his father's stick, the news naturally spread to the inner court, and his wife He Shi naturally couldn't pretend nothing happened, no matter what she felt in her heart, she hurriedly came to the aunt's hall to beg for mercy.

Shen Mu's mother is from the Xu family in this county, and she doesn't think her son is wrong, and she is even complacent because Shen Mu has many children.Perhaps it was also because of a long-standing discord with this daughter-in-law from a prominent Wuzhong family, and because she felt sorry for her son's unreasonable disaster, she was a little bit gaffe when answering.

Mrs. Shen Mu was not in a good mood, but she could imagine how she felt when she was ridiculed by her mother, so she knelt down in the court and begged to go away.

Seeing this, Xu was also a little panicked. She knew why Shen Mu received this lesson, just to give an explanation to He's in-laws. As a result, nothing was settled, and another incident happened again. If the bride was forced to leave the house, things would definitely be worse. end.But she didn't know how to appease her at this moment, and she couldn't let go of her figure, so she could only send someone to ask the eldest sister-in-law.

Unlike Shen Mu's mother who was anxious, after Shen Chong's wife Wei entered Luo, it was extremely comfortable. The eldest daughter-in-law, the princess, and the second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Du, greeted her every day, and she was accompanied by her well-behaved grandchildren day and night.

When Xu's envoy came to sue, Wei was still in the hall asking how the eldest son and concubine Gua'er was pregnant.

Although Shen Zhezi, wife and concubines in the family, Gua'er has the lowest status, needless to say, Princess Xingnan, Lady Aling is also from the Qinghe Cui family, a prominent family in Hebei, only Gua'er was born in a shady family.

But when it comes to the approval in his heart, the Wei family is the closest to this gentle and gentle melon.The status of a princess is too high, no matter how considerate the greetings in daily life, it always makes Wei Shi feel a bit cramped, and she is a bit strange and alienated to Mrs. A Ling.Only this melon was chosen by her in the early years to be served by her son's side, and after being brought into the house, she would give birth to a child for the Shen family.

So after entering Luo, the Wei family called Gua'er by his side to take care of him, probably in order to give his dear little lady a little boost, so as not to be overly underestimated by insiders and outsiders.

After hearing the whole story from the maid next to Xu, Wei couldn't help frowning, looked around the princess and others in the hall, and sighed: "At present, the family is in harmony with foreign affairs, and the elders and children are harmonious. Look for trouble!"

This kind of conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even if the princess and others have any opinions, they will naturally not say it on this occasion, and only slightly agree after hearing the words.

On the other side, a delicate and delicate lady who was born in pink and jade, snorted after hearing the words: "Mother, you are wrong, I don't know how the second brother is, but his sister-in-law treats me very kindly." Very, not a boring and troublesome person..."

Wei Shi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "You talk a lot about everything, this kind of entanglement in the court, even your father and elder brother can't handle it, can you tell right from wrong?"

The little lady who spoke was Shen Zhezi's sister-in-law, named Ah Yan, who was doted on by her father and brother since she was a child, and has a lively and cheerful personality. Holding the little meat dumpling in his arms, Shen Pusheng said: "Pusheng, Pusheng, in the future, you must remember not to learn from such evil elders, make trouble outside, and blame your family for being incompatible..."

Shen Pusheng didn't know anything, he just shook his head to shake off his aunt's hand grabbing his cheek.

"My little one is the most delicate, how can you pinch him lightly!"

When Wei saw this, she felt distressed, raised her hand and knocked off her daughter's hand, and then said: "Erlang's bride is indeed courteous and obedient, worthy of a virtuous woman from a famous family. But the bad thing is the disturbance of foreign affairs, and she can't control herself. In the north and south of this life, there is no perfect son from every family, but Erlang dares to fight outside, strengthens my family's reputation, and his wife and children are all honored by him."

"What's more, my family is not a poor family who can't afford enough food and clothing. It is a joy for the ancestors to pass on the succession of Guangsheng. Who dares to gossip because of it? This lady is naturally a noble girl from our Wu Township, and she deserves to be in my family. How can she be made to serve day and night as a servant? Erlang's external use is already hard work, even if there are a few people around her to accompany her, it is reasonable. Who can shake the favor she deserves as a married woman? So noisy Go on and on, but it would make people laugh at themselves and lower their physique, and have the same knowledge as ordinary foolish women..."

When the little lady heard that her mother's words were all about protecting her own children, and she downplayed Shen Mu's profane behavior, the corner of her mouth twitched to express her disapproval, but she didn't open her mouth to refute when she saw her mother staring at her.

Other people's family affairs are not worthy of a long story, and Princess Xingnan couldn't understand that what Amu said meant to beat her and her sister-in-law. After hearing the words, she laughed and said: "What Amu said is really a virtuous woman who lives at home. Reason, my mausoleum mother and I are both domesticated women who came to the house when we were young, so we can deeply feel the love of my uncle for a long time, and I am also fortunate that my husband has cared for me, and I know that family harmony is precious. But looking outside, how many can With my family being so harmonious, occasional conflicts and disturbances are inevitable."

Hearing what his bride said, Wei's mood became more comfortable again, and then he took the princess's hand and said with a smile: "So it's really difficult to think carefully without being in the situation, it seems that the little girl is doting on her father and brother, and the family is in the middle of the house. I can still tolerate it, and she will be married to another family in the coming year, who can tolerate her rebelliousness? I am not boasting about how good my family is, but these boys under me are indeed not wrong for people to criticize. My family Axiu is also about to grow up. , if you really wait and see that the beautiful girl of the He family is worthy of a match, you should take her home early and educate yourself..."

When the princess heard this, she felt even more dumbfounded. She was scolded by her husband for being boring and attentive when she was interested in Axiu's study, but her mother's intentions were more far-sighted, and she had already considered the child's marriage.

However, these words moved her heart. She has a strong personality, and she gradually learned to restrain herself after being pampered and cared for by her husband for many years. A preventive measure.

The little lady Ayan next to her was pointed out by her mother as a villain, and she was naturally upset. She grabbed a pompom from the case and threw it on Shen Axiu who was playing with a jigsaw puzzle with her buttocks on the other side, and asked with a smile: "Axiu, your mother wants I'll find you a lady to play with you, what kind of lady do you like? How does your aunt look like this?"

Shen Axiu turned her head in a daze, a little dissatisfied with being disturbed, she shook her head after hearing another question from her aunt, and said: "My aunt is beautiful, but she is a bit stupid, you don't know how to teach me when my mother assigns lessons, you are just greedy My toy!"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole room burst into laughter, but the little lady Shen Yan was so angry that her brows stood on end, and she stopped talking in a muffled voice.

The maid sent by the Xu family wanted to ask for help, but she was not in the mood to appreciate how harmonious the family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along with each other. Taking advantage of the weakening of the laughter, she brought up the old story again with a bitter face.

"It's hard to tell the truth about the family, and it's hard for my mother to say even if she goes. Let me go there on behalf of my mother to persuade you."

Princess Xingnan saw Wei frowned and pondered, she got up and said.

Wei Shi also felt that he was in a dilemma. Hearing what the princess said, he couldn't help being even happier.People's sense of superiority is always contrasted, and it is inevitable that the sisters-in-law in the family will compete with each other. The princess took the initiative to take care of this matter, which made Wei feel that her bride is really courteous and decent. In contrast, it is inevitable that she will be more comfortable .

What's more, the princess has a noble status, so even the Wei family can't help but be a little cautious when getting along with each other. If she goes to persuade her, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the second room must restrain themselves even if they have any grievances with each other, so as not to cause too much trouble.

"Then ask the bride to come forward and talk to me for a while, and bring this lady with me by the way, so that she can also see how she should behave when getting along with others."

Thinking of this, Wei Shi nodded and said, pointing to the little lady Ayan who was tiptoeing towards Axiu, and brought her grandson into her arms full of doting.

With the mother's instruction, the princess stopped sitting for a long time, and immediately stood up, took a few family members and the reluctant Ayan lady, and went straight to the courtyard where the second room lived.

When the princess came, I saw many servants and maids lined up in the corridor with nervous expressions to welcome her.Shen Mu's mother, Mrs. Xu, was also escorted out by the maid, with an embarrassing smile on her face: "However, there are some trivial matters under the veil, how dare His Royal Highness the Princess Lao do it herself..."

"Auntie is too polite. They are all members of the family, and the most important thing is to be gentle and peaceful. I just look at it shallowly, so I dare to say whether it is hard or not."

The princess stepped forward quickly, and raised her hand to support Xu, who was slightly bowed.

Seeing the princess talking respectfully, Xu's face became even more embarrassed. He turned to look at his bride who was standing silently behind, and said gloomily: "The old woman really has a bad face this time, and she is even more ashamed and envious of the eldest sister-in-law who manages the house properly. Peaceful..."

Shen Mu's wife, He Shi, had already suppressed her voice, but after hearing this, she couldn't help crying again.

The princess also felt a headache when she saw this, and it is no longer possible to tell right from wrong about this matter. It is true that Shen Mu has a lot of promiscuity outside and lacks respect for his wife, but it is no wonder that Xu's family has made such a fuss in the courtyard. Blame your bride for disgracing her.Now that the two are together, the princess doesn't know who to advise first.

After pondering for a while, she stepped forward and grabbed He Shi's wrist, and said: "It is inevitable to collide with each other, but in the same family, it is a big deal. I come tonight, and I still want to ask my sister-in-law to accompany me Go see Wulang's wife. I'm also curious and want to ask Jiang Xia how the scenery is, I wonder if my sister-in-law would like to accompany her?"

With such a mood, He Shi was even more ashamed to see people, just about to say no, but the princess yanked his belt.On the other side, Ah Yan also saw his sister-in-law's intentions, so she stepped forward and grabbed He Shi's other arm, and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, let's go together!"

He Shi took a peek at the mother who was still depressed, and felt that staying was even more embarrassing, so she obediently was pulled out by the pair of sisters-in-law.

On the way, the princess asked about the details of the quarrel just now. Naturally, Mrs. He would not talk too much about right and wrong, but the maid beside her naturally had a heart for the mistress, so she recounted a little bit of Auntie's agitated slip of the tongue before, so that everyone would know why Mrs. He did this , Being directly ridiculed for being jealous of a woman and hurting her husband and being tortured with a cane is ridiculed by others. It is true that other people can't bear it. It is indeed normal for He Shi to react like this.

Hearing the whole story, Ayan's little lady immediately became angry for He Shi, and said angrily: "Auntie said that, it is too much, the second brother is wandering outside, it is well known, and it is not sister-in-law that you encourage and condone him It is his own fault to be punished. It is really unreasonable for your aunt to blame you for this! Sister-in-law, you should ask for it, and you should teach your family not to be so unfair in doing things and speaking. If you still want to leave, I will take someone to see you off later. No one can stop you from going out!"

Princess Xingnan was really dumbfounded when she heard her sister-in-law was so indignant and warm-hearted, but when she turned her head and saw He's brows were more sad, she was not relieved because of Ayanniang's righteous voice.

In the final analysis, this little lady is too careless and thinks things too simply.It is impossible to say right or wrong in the family affairs of ordinary small households, and the family marriage like Shen He's family inevitably involves more, so it is simple right and wrong that can be judged.

If He Shi was really encouraged by this little lady to leave, then today's matter would not end well.Mrs. Xu made a slip of the tongue, it is true that women have little understanding to protect their weaknesses, and the parents of the family blamed Shen Mu as an explanation to the relatives of the He family. If the He family really left home because of this, it is because she is a woman who is ignorant and forced to make things big. If it is not handled properly, it may even directly cause the two families to completely turn against each other and become a family feud.

"Ayan, what are you talking about? No wonder my mother often scolds you for this. I am already a housewife at your age, and you are still raised at home, with your father and brother to rely on. Even if you make any mistakes, you will be tolerant and considerate. But how many people in this world pamper and protect you like a father and brother, if you try to be strong, it will make people tired for a long time!"

Princess Xingnan put on a straight face and said to her sister-in-law: "Your elder brother is less concerned with internal affairs. As a sister-in-law, I always have the responsibility to teach you. In previous years, when I was at home, I was as strong as a lady like you. It is to teach you to understand things, and I will not use those "Women's Commandments" to force the rules. My family is noble, and naturally I cannot tolerate bullying if I have a wife, but this is not the reason for you to be strong."

"When a husband and wife get along, if they are too respectful, they will be estranged, and if they are too close, they will be profane. The harmony and grasp within a square inch is where the harmony of yin and yang lies. Husband and wife are one body, so there is no difference between right and wrong? You insist on distinguishing right from wrong, and you are useless How can such a stupid husband be worthy of a perfect and virtuous wife? Once you argue, you will alienate you, and after a long time, there will be a difference between high and low, even if you are a virtuous body, you are not a virtuous woman!"

Mrs. Ayan did not expect her sister-in-law to reprimand her for her generous speech. The corners of her mouth twitched and she was a little bit wronged. She said in a low voice angrily: "It's really like what my sister-in-law said. Are we women born to be weak? This time it's obviously two Brother did something wrong, shouldn't the second sister-in-law also have to swallow her voice and endure it? Then why should my family teach me right and wrong? In short, in the future, husband and wife should be one body, working together. Brother, that's not how you taught me..."

"Your elder brother embraces the world and the common people. He always teaches you in a low-key manner. How much does your lady know about teaching, and you dare to boast that you have understood it all?"

Princess Xingnan laughed when she heard this: "Is there anyone in this world who is completely worthless? Even if it is a beast, it is a treasure in the eyes of its parents. Ordinary people have nothing to do with you, so you don't have to. Regardless of whether he is good or bad. But if a person is destined to be one with you, how can you look at him with ordinary eyes? He has all kinds of bad things, but one thing is good, and you should also help him get rid of all these things. Evil, manifesting a goodness, his goodness is your goodness. If you look at him normally, he will treat you normally. There is a clear difference between water and fire, but it is a relationship of living in the same room. It should not be intimate, but it cannot be separated. What they get from each other is naturally only torment and collision."

Regarding what her sister-in-law said, the little lady Ah Yan couldn't fully understand it for a while.However, after listening to the He Shi who had been walking side by side, his sad and sad expression gradually changed. He even looked at Princess Xingnan with a guilty conscience. Relaxed again, but her thoughts became complicated because of the princess' words.

He's actually had no intimacy or love for her husband, Shen Mu, just like many wives in the world, they only depended on each other and had to be entrusted to each other, not to mention love or not.It is true that he is gentle and gentle in the courtyard on weekdays, but it is only rationally persuading himself to accept the reality a little bit, and he has indeed treated each other as a guest.

Although she is a woman, she has no opinions, but she is not completely unreceptive to outside information.When they were discussing marriage in the early years, family members such as father and brother sighed and said that she had wronged her, and she was not worthy of a family like Qu Xu Shen's.After all, in terms of reputation, the He family in Kuaiji is a famous school of etiquette, and his grandfather He Xun is even known as "Jiang Biao Confucianism". of.

Although the He family did not despise her husband's family because of this, it is true that she has not expected much from Shen Mu since she got married, and she has both children like ordinary people, and her mother's family is getting better and better because of the bond of friendship.

For such a day, she was not very picky, and she didn't even care much about Shen Mu's wanderings outside, and she didn't expect to be pampered and alone.It is precisely because of this that this time her mother accused her of being a jealous woman, she could not accept it, and she asked herself that what she did had nothing to do with jealousy.

As for resentment, there are naturally some, this is human nature.What's more, what Shen Mu did was so absurd that even the bystanders thought it was a little too much, not to mention that her father and brother often complained in front of her that the son-in-law's behavior was absurd and caused them to be ridiculed. The comment is that she, the mistress, is too complacent.

Although the people around him all had negative comments on Shen Mu, He Shi could only lament his poor fate, and did not entrust him with a good man.Because she knew very well that it would be difficult for her to get rid of Shen Mu in her life, no matter how fierce her father and brother complained in front of her, what they said was nothing more than Shen's bullying, pampering his children too much and disregarding the dignity of their in-laws.

In other words, father, brother and the like did not dare to back up the He family completely, they still wanted to take advantage of the situation, but they just hoped that the Shen family could save some face for them, and they did not put themselves in their shoes to support their own wife.

Princess Xingnan's unintentional words touched He Shi greatly, and she also asked herself in her heart that her husband was as useless and useless as people around him said?Does she think that her self-righteousness and attitude of a big woman must be as impeccable as the upbringing she received when she was young?
If it is destined to be inseparable, who is harming her, a gentle and flawless virtuous woman, and must forcibly ration her to Shen Mu, a worthless villain from a wealthy family?

A lot of miscellaneous thoughts came one after another, so that He Shi forgot to feel sorry for himself for a while, and arrived at the Shen Yun family's residence without knowing it.

Although a large number of Shen's family members came from the north, they couldn't be left alone in the countryside. Shen Yun's father, Shen Hong, assumed the responsibility of staying behind. As for Shen Yun's wife and children, they went north directly from Jiang Xia to Luo.

When several sisters-in-law and elder sisters-in-law came to visit, Shen Yun's wife, Mrs. Chen, was also pleasantly surprised. She rushed out to welcome her, and led her children out to worship the elders.This time the house was noisy, Chen naturally heard about it, especially seeing the tears in the corners of He's eyes, she knew it better, but the elder sisters-in-law didn't mention it, so she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to speak out.

Several people sat side by side in the flower hall and gossiped, and Princess Xingnan dominated the topic. Chen Shi responded casually, but He Shi still bowed his head and was speechless.

As for the little lady Ayan, she is lively and restless, she has long forgotten the advice of her sister-in-law on the road, and looked at her in the room with great interest.Soon her attention was attracted by several exquisite boxes placed in the room, and those boxes were half-covered, revealing the items contained inside, which were some exquisite fan bones and fans.

"Folding fan, folding fan, my brother's fan!"

The little lady Ah Yan murmured some unfunny homonyms, she leaned over and picked them up with great interest: "Sister-in-law, why do you have so many fans in your house? Are they also special products in Jiangxia? Hey, why are there still some fans on this fan?" There are so many characters, and the writing is quite beautiful. Sister-in-law, what do you think is written here?"

While speaking, Ah Yan returned to the seat with a dozen fans in his hands and handed them to Princess Xingnan.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen on the other side hesitated to speak at first, then covered her mouth and laughed lowly after a while: "It really makes my sisters-in-law laugh. What kind of property is this? It's just my husband's hobby. Gossiping in the curtain is not afraid of being laughed at." , My family also has a small old reputation. My brothers are often ashamed of my husband's ignorance of the scriptures and do not get close. My husband joined the army when he was young, and he has little leisure to learn, so he is often ashamed. I have been idle in my room for a long time, and I was young Make these fans for your husband to take with you, even if you can't be immersed in self-improvement, you can still be brave in front of others..."

While talking, some fans were circulated in the banquet for viewing, and He Shi also got some in his hands. He saw that many scriptures were copied and annotated in beautiful small characters. The handwriting was clear and easy to understand, which showed his intentions.

Seeing this scene, He Shi couldn't help feeling more deeply, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Princess Xingnan did not expect to come to visit Mrs. Shen Yun on a whim, and she would get such a good example of precepts and deeds. She also took the opportunity to pull He's wrist and said: "Brothers who grow up in Tingmen, it is inevitable to quarrel. Husband and wife say Although they are close relatives, after all, they come to get along day and night after their respective families have grown up. Even if there is a gap, it should be cleared up. Most men's ambitions are outside. If we want harmony between the door and the curtain, we, as women, should always do more Do your best. Daughters can also have great ambitions, and our achievements are within the size of the door curtain. It is gossip whether outsiders think or not, and we have to control our own gains and losses."

The corners of He Shi's mouth twitched for a moment, and his face was touched even deeper, but he still didn't speak.

"My sister-in-law and I are both women, and I will not persuade you to be wronged and tolerant. The second brother is on the sidelines, and the general often says that the sidelines are dangerous, and there are many fears of mistakes. There are even many dreams that wake up. The distance between the land and the earth inevitably leads to estrangement, although women dare not speak lightly about foreign affairs, but because of the harmony of the family, I am willing to speak up for you, sister-in-law, or don’t use it, or..."

"No, no!"

When He heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt the princess's words, then his face became shy again, and he lowered his head and said: "I have lived in seclusion for many years, and I can't control myself when things happen. It’s really ashamed to rely on a few sisters-in-law for enlightenment..."

Speaking of this, she squeezed out a smile again, looked at her sister-in-law Chen and said: "The fifth brother is not the only one who lacks literature in the family. Fortunately, my sister-in-law is so considerate, and the fifth brother will definitely improve every day. I also want to borrow the scriptures used by my sister-in-law. I wonder if it is possible to use the model essay as an annotation?"

When her husband was praised, Mrs. Chen was naturally delighted, and asked someone to fetch Fan Wenlai in a hurry.

At this moment, a strange sound came from outside the door, and everyone looked in amazement, only to see Shen Yun walking towards the flower hall covered in dust and disheveled, and shouted angrily: "A few young people from the family dare to ambush me on the way while I'm half drunk!" , It’s really annoying! Where are the people? Quickly take out the stick and follow me to take revenge... Eh? Why are the sisters-in-law here?”

Not to mention that Princess Xingnan and the He family had weird expressions, Shen Yun's wife, Chen family, had just been praised as a good helper, and when she saw her husband walking in in a panic, she was so ashamed that she buried her head in her sleeves and did not dare to look up.

Shen Yun was full of embarrassment at the black hand at the moment, and he didn't feel that the atmosphere in the hall was weird. He went around the flower hall and found a bamboo stick and walked out, grinning at the corners of his mouth that was still black and blue. A few sister-in-laws in the hall said: "Sister-in-laws testify for me, this time I am not bullying the weak, even though I covered my head with a black cloth just now, I clearly heard the laughter of Ah He and the others, it is time to teach them with sticks What are young and old!"

While speaking, he pointed at his own wife who had shrunk into a ball in shame: "Yes, my lady, remember to copy the 'Zigu treat it' on the fan later, if I knew that my brother would warn me, I wouldn't suffer from this." Black Hand!"
