Yanlouchun

Chapter 2 The housekeeper is also an aunt who can choose?

At this time, the capital is full of spring, and sparrows are flying around the beams. Whoever has flowers blooming in the yard can see the blooming flowers from outside the wall far away.

A piece of spring is on the branches, and the willows on the riverside are new.

But the spring is only a little thick, how long can it stay in the green capital.

Shen Zhiyun's carriage barely stopped in Shen's mansion, and the shutter moved slightly.

With the sounds of children playing and chasing, the two reckless children ran into the wheel.

The car body was shaking, and before Shen Zhiyun could signal, the guard at the door rushed down from the steps to scold him.

"What are you doing? Where did you come from!"

"I can see clearly that this is Shen's car, so I dare to ram it!"

"The threshold of the Shen family is so rich that you two mudboys can't get in even if you work hard!"

The two children were playing around for a while, but they were also frightened. They stood beside the carriage, holding their trouser legs tightly with their small hands, watching the guard timidly, not daring to move.

"Bai Bian."

In the carriage, Shen Zhiyun made a soft sound.

Bai Bian understood immediately, and raised his eyelids to look at the guard. After staying with his master Shen Zhiyun for a long time, he could still keep a sharp look in his eyes, which made the person being watched feel a chill in his heart.

This guard is a hypocrite, he is used to observing words and expressions, after receiving this trick, he immediately understood the master's intentions, he was horrified, he wanted to show his loyalty to the protector, but he didn't want to offend the master.

Immediately, he bent over, nodded and bowed his back, smiling flatteringly, "Lord Bai Bian..."

"Don't dare."

Bai Bian interrupted him.

"I'm just a servant next to Mr. Shen. I don't dare to act arrogantly. As a human being, I should know how much I have. I am far beyond the wisdom of adults, but this is how much. The accounts are still clear."

The guard's smile froze on his face. He was either retreating or advancing, should or should not, and had no choice but to flatter.

"Yes, yes, it's a small overreach."

Bai Bian walked up to the two children and knelt down, smiled kindly, took out a few taels of silver from the kit, and comforted him, "Master Shen is not angry, and I am very happy to see you playing, these silver coins are not many , Go buy some snacks and have fun."

The two children were not very old, and they immediately beamed with joy when they got the silver. In a blink of an eye, they ignored the threat just now.

"Thank you, Master Shen!"

"Master Shen is really a kind person!"

The voice was crisp and immature, which made passers-by on the street laugh and look at it a few more times.

Shen Zhiyun who half lifted the curtain also chuckled.

After getting out of the car, Bai Bian followed behind Shen Zhiyun, never giving the guard another wink.

It's just that when passing by the guards, all the family members at the door heard the few words spoken by Mr. Shen in a cold voice.

"Fake power is like running dogs."

These words are extremely serious, even though the guards who have not read the book can't understand them, they can understand the word "running dog".

The other guards couldn't help but stand upright, and couldn't help being afraid.

"Who is looking for these servants? I have met several times in my face alone."

Shen Zhiyun said as he walked, his tone was not heavy, it seemed to be an ordinary question.

But Bai Bian could hear the displeasure in the adult's heart.

"Aunt Jiang's cousin has recruited these newcomers, Madam has been in poor health recently, so she doesn't care too much." Bai Bian replied.

"Nonsense, the guardian of the house is also an aunt who can choose. If I am not the son-in-law, can my mother still have a seat in this mansion?"

Shen Zhiyun's mother, Shen Haishi, was originally the only daughter of the Hai family. She was also famous in the capital for her talent.

Later, she was married by Shen's father, Shen Pingshan, into the family. It was a good story, but Shen Hai's family has not been pregnant for three years.

This Jiang family is a concubine of the old lady's natal family, presumably it must have been ordered by the old lady, no one dared to say anything.

It's normal for a big family to have a few aunts.

But Aunt Jiang became pregnant only a few months after entering the mansion, everyone said that the eldest lady was incompetent, Shen Hai was depressed because of this, she was pregnant but did not find out for a long time.

Even after finding out that she was pregnant, Aunt Jiang was always very angry at the beginning of pregnancy, and her health was always bad.

At that time, Hai's eldest son, that is, Shen Hai's elder brother, displeased the Holy One in the court, was demoted to a magistrate, and his family moved out of the capital.

The Hai family plummeted for a while, which is embarrassing.

There is no one in Shen Hai's natal family, and Shen's father indulged his concubine, and the servants in the mansion used to watch the master's situation, and they all went to please the concubine.

Facing her natal family's worries and her troubles in the mansion, Shen Hai's unsurprisingly gave birth prematurely.

One day and one night later, Shen Haishi gave birth to a girl.

The wet nurse made up her own mind and lied about the new baby she delivered as a boy.

With the birth of his first son, Shen Pingshan gave his natal family's downtrodden main house the attention it deserved.

Shen Haishi, who woke up after premature delivery and coma, knew about this. With tears in his eyes, he tremblingly grabbed the sleeve of the nanny Gui, his knuckles turned white with force, and his pale lips trembled, and said sadly: "Mother Gui!" Confused! Confused!"

Not long after, Aunt Jiang also gave birth to a concubine son. Nanny Gui did not regret it, and said firmly to Shen Haishi: "Mrs. You have to cheer up, the rise of the tide in the future depends entirely on the young master."

Thanks to Shen Zhiyun's fighting spirit, he has not been inferior to men all these years, no matter whether he is studying or being an official, he always overwhelms that bastard.

In fact, it's more than just overpowering the bastard, how many young masters of the same age in the capital can match Shen Zhiyun's reputation.

The twelfth teacher was Qi Shenming, the eighteenth Jinshi and the first rank, and he was the first-class champion. He was a cabinet bachelor who was personally appointed by the imperial pen. He participated in political affairs and assisted His Majesty in reviewing memorials.

There are floats patrolling the street in front of it, and the hearts of many famous ladies are secretly promised.

Later, he had outstanding achievements in political affairs and was full of talents, becoming the favorite son-in-law of various wives.

A few years ago, Chengzhou Academy's naughty writing of evil books, arranging the inner court, spread widely, His Majesty was furious, slapped the table and waved his sleeves, and brushed all the documents on the table to the ground, and the Ruinaojin beast rolled out on the ground with a bang From far away, just like the ruthless trial in Zhu's pen, 110 and six people from the Academy were ordered to beheaded, and anyone who rose up would be shot.

The servant fell to his knees, like a small quail, trembling in fear.

In the court hall, everyone looked at each other, holding wat boards, but no one dared to speak.

If the 110 six scholars were really to be beheaded, wouldn't the world's students feel chilled?Will the hearts of the people not be disturbed?

Where were the 110 six students who were bullied? The decree to be beheaded was clearly the mouth of all the people in the world.

This is a bloody case that has never happened in a hundred years, a huge bloody case!
Only Shen Zhiyun knelt down without warning and shouted, "Your Majesty, please take it back!"

His Majesty said coldly, "Is Shen Aiqing going to be the first one to make a move?"

If there is a momentum, shoot and kill.

"This minister is a cabinet bachelor, and his job is to assist His Majesty. If the punishment is not appropriate, there may be future troubles. It is for the public of the world, for the people of all ages, and for His Majesty's righteous way. I would like to tie the knot, so that His Majesty can take back his order."

The court hall is silent, it is really silent like death, the cold sweat on everyone's back is silent, and the panic in everyone's heart is silent.

His Majesty sitting on the Dragon Throne is silent.

The Kneeling Master Shen was also silent.

the end.

"Since that's the case, Mr. Shen should go to the Ministry of Punishment to think about how to deal with this intruder and what to do."

His Majesty looked coldly at the audience, stood up and left the court.

Shen Zhiyun stood up neither humble nor overbearing, and there were two attendants who came from both sides to take her to the Ministry of Punishment, but they only dared to make a fake show, but it was Shen Zhiyun who walked in front, and the two of them followed behind.

And this matter was finally impulsive by His Majesty.

When His Majesty figured it out, he was regretful and fortunate, so he personally invited Shen Zhiyun out of the prison and ordered Shen Zhiyun to go to Chengzhou to handle the matter.

When he came back, he was promoted from a bachelor to the cabinet secretary, and the second assistant in his 20s was also unique and magnificent.

Even Shen Pingshan, the servant of the household department, is having trouble mobilizing Shen Zhiyun.

Shen Zhiyun also asked Shen Haishi many times.

"If mother is willing, I will immediately ask the clan elders to testify, set up my own family, and move out of this Shen residence, far away from him, Shen Pingshan and the Jiang family."

However, Shen Haishi always shook his head slightly, took Shen Zhiyun's hand, and sighed softly, "If you can get along with your life, you don't have to worry about it. You are now a courtier, and your status is so sensitive. You stand on your own and separate from your biological father. And how many references to your book, don't be confused."

"If someone finds out about your daughter in the future, Shen Pingshan will also protect you for the sake of his Shen family."

Shen Zhiyun sneered in his heart, if there was such a day, Shen Pingshan wished he could get rid of their relationship with their mother and daughter.

It's just that she didn't tell Shen Haishi about this, her mother fell ill when she was pregnant with her, and Jiang Shi has made a lot of troubles these years, her mother has always been depressed, and it's not easy, she still has some luck and some expectations for Shen Pingshan. bad thing.

When a person is alive, he always has something to look forward to, or hope that he will be rich and powerful, or hope that his sons and daughters will rejoice, or hope that his husband and prodigal son will return, after all, there must be something to look forward to.

"Say hello to my brother."

Entering the inner courtyard, a crisp voice came, it was Jiang's second child, Shen Huiyi.

Over the years, Jiang has firmly grasped Shen Pingshan's heart. Apart from the old lady's support and her own means, the most basic appearance conditions must be indispensable.

Shen Huiyi has received the favor of her mother, her peach blossom eyes are full of affection, and she has a slender figure. Now it's time for her to marry her, and there are invitations from high-ranking families, but they are all rejected by the Jiang family because she is still a young girl. Don't go to those fake seniors who post posts, to put it bluntly, which family's real seniors would ask to marry a concubine.

It's not about a concubine, but this concubine is a daughter of the Shen family whose wives and concubines are out of order. The wives of the high family are most annoyed by women who are not in the right place in the backyard.

Once Jiang's delusional desire to become an equal wife, and now her daughter's delusional desire to marry into the Marquis's residence, this mother and daughter are really... making people laugh.

Shen Zhiyun never gave Jiang's family members good looks. They used to put on airs, pretending to be decent and courteous, but in fact they were secretly waiting for the price, and they were all engaged in unscrupulous activities.

Jiang's is like this, her son Shen Zhize is like this, and her daughter Shen Huiyi is also like this.

Shen Zhiyun knew about the lives carried out behind the back of the second room, one by one, but her mother wanted to see a happy family scene, she never exposed it, let this servant of the household department who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife The house still maintains a dignified decency.

Her mother wanted to make do with it, and if her Jiang's family didn't cause trouble, she would also be willing to let the matter in the backyard go like this.

"Ah."

After Shen Zhiyun responded coldly, he walked towards his residence.

"Every time the girl meets the eldest son, she is always polite and decent, but the eldest son is always cold and indifferent, and the second son is the same. Do you have to make a difference between the brothers? Now that the eldest son has a high position and authority, we both live in the second room." not willful."

A Lan, the maid beside Shen Huiyi, complained dissatisfied.

"Alan, don't talk nonsense." Shen Huiyi raised her hand to stop her, and looked in the direction Shen Zhiyun left.

"Elder brother and our second room have always been indifferent, and it's not aimed at me, so why should you be annoyed?"

"Today, Mr. Qi celebrates his birthday. The people who go are all literati. They are either officials of the court or celebrities. If my father goes, he can take me along. Unfortunately, my father has been busy with government affairs recently, so he entrusted the elder brother to give gifts, and the second elder brother said It’s unreliable, but I failed to get an invitation.”

"In a while, we will sit in a small sedan chair, follow behind big brother, and quietly go to Qi's mansion to have a look."

Shen Huiyi stretched out her hand and picked off a delicate flower that just bloomed. The flower was delicate, and it matched the flower dress she was wearing today.

She lowered her eyebrows and looked at the delicate flower leaving the branch. No one knew what was going on in her heart.

Back in his room, Shen Zhiyun changed his official uniform and wore a sky-blue robe with auspicious clouds and wild cranes on the front, and golden silk patterns.

He took out the congratulatory gift prepared by himself and inspected it. It was a red jade pine carving.

The jade itself is far from valuable to Qi Lao, but this congratulatory gift is intended to be carved by Shen Zhiyun himself.

Years ago, I went to Chengzhou to handle errands. Before that, His Majesty imprisoned Shen Zhiyun in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs for a few days. The students in Chengzhou were still sincere in their hearts. They were instigated to do wrong things for a while, implicating people who were really good for them. When they met Shen Zhiyun himself I came here to handle this case and cooperated very well.

The case went smoothly, and when the case could be closed, it was not yet the expected return time. One was to beat these students, and the other was for selfishness. Shen Zhiyun held the case for another half a day.

During this period, I studied with local skilled artists for half a month, and after returning to Beijing, I carved and scrapped several pieces of warm jade, which became such a gift full of students' hearts.

Looking at the congratulatory gift he had prepared, Shen Zhiyun couldn't help but think of Gu Hanshu, who said that he wanted to help him look at the birthday gift for the teacher. It was not a pleasure to mess around with her after getting in the car, and now he didn't know what this person had prepared.

But what did he, Gu Hanshu, have to do with her? Both his classmates and Gu Hanshu were just studying in the academy and listening to Master Qi's lectures. According to the principles of literati, although they were both under Master Qi's school, only Shen Zhiyun was so serious. Only those who have passed the ceremony of appreciating teachers in the Eight Classics can be regarded as the closed students of Mr. Qi, and the relationship with Mr. Qi is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
