Chapter 11 The Origin of the Shen Family
  After Shen Jia made the decoction for Shen Zhuoyun, he started to make a medicinal bath for them. It took about half an hour to finish.

The original owner had no memory of the Shen family's origins. She urgently wanted to know what caused Shen Zhuoyun and the Gu family to leave the capital and live in Lingnan when they were teenagers.

She had to figure out why so she could make a plan.

Shen Jia put a few firewood into the stove, then held his cheek and thought wildly.

"Jia'er, what are you thinking about?" Mrs. Gu came back with two empty bowls and asked with concern when she saw Shen Jia looking like she was distracted.

Shen Jia took Gu's fair, slender, slightly rough hand and sat down, and asked: "Mom, what do you think is going on when we go back to Beijing? You tell me, it makes me feel a little better."

A trace of sadness flashed across Gu's eyes, and she said, "Mom, I just said it casually. Going back to Beijing? How easy is it? I'm afraid that I might even die if I go back."

Shen Jia sat upright in an instant and asked curiously: "Mom, just tell me! One person is trying to calculate the shortcomings, and two people are calculating the advantages. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Maybe I can do anything?"

"Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you."

original.

Shen Jia's grandmother, Shen Ru, was the only daughter of Shen Qichen, the former minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. She was pampered and pampered since she was a child. She was born with a beautiful face, unparalleled elegance, and a gentle and generous temper. She was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.

Shen Ru's requirements for her husband are quite high. Even if the person seeking marriage crosses the threshold, she can't find the right one despite looking over and over.

Until the spring when Shen Ru was seventeen, Shen Ru and a few of her close friends went for an outing in the countryside.

Several local gangsters wanted to tease Shen Ru and the others, but they were saved by Zhou Shaocheng and his friends.

Zhou Shao grew up with a handsome face, a graceful face, a jade tree in the wind, and a polite demeanor that quickly captured Shen Ru's heart.

This is how the drama of a hero saving a beauty, a talented man and a beautiful woman, who is bound to commit himself to her, is played out.

Shen Qichen felt that the appearance of the gangster that day was a bit strange.

Every spring, family members of officials often go outing in the countryside. They have never heard of gangsters. Why did Shen Ru and the others encounter them?

Is it such a coincidence that only Shen Ru was teased? And he was rescued by a poor student who came to Beijing to take the exam?

Shen Qichen sent people to investigate, but there was no trace of those local gangsters, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

This is very wrong, like someone set up a trap specifically for Shen Ru.

Therefore, Shen Qichen and his wife strongly opposed Shen Ru's marriage to Zhou Shaocheng.

But Shen Ru was like a man possessed. No matter how much Shen Qichen and his wife objected, she was unwilling to give up.

Fortunately, Zhou Shaocheng passed the imperial examination in Chunwei, and Shen Ru wanted to marry him, so Shen Qichen reluctantly accepted.

Zhou Shaocheng is a native of Qinghe County. He comes from a farming family. He has three brothers and three sisters. Because he is the youngest in the family, he has been favored by thousands of people since he was a child. In addition, he has some talent in reading, so he can unite the whole family. for him to study.

The Zhou family was poor and could not afford decent gifts, but Shen Qichen did not want to wrong his daughter.

Shen Qichen was an upright official. He only had his salary and some gray income that the emperor had approved. Therefore, his family didn't have much savings. He used all his savings to buy a generous dowry for Shen Ru.

Shen Qichen couldn't bear to let go of his daughter, so he made some arrangements to let Zhou Shaocheng stay in Beijing and become a senior official, Zuo Gizhong.

After they got married, they lived in a two-room house bought by Shen Qichen for Shen Ru.

When lovers finally get married, they should stay together and live in love forever. At the beginning, they were really loving husband and wife, playing the piano and playing the piano in harmony. The following year, their eldest son Zhou Rui was born, and the family lived a warm and happy life.

Just when Shen Ru was intoxicated in imagining a better future, reality gave her a blow.

That day, Shen Ru held Shen Rui's hand with a belly that was more than eight months old and waited for Zhou Shaocheng to leave at the Chuihua Gate as usual. Unexpectedly, the person waiting was a servant of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

The servant told Shen Ru that Zhou Shaocheng would not come back.

Shen Ru's face turned pale, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, the next day, Zhou Shaocheng came back and announced that he would marry the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhen as his equal wife.

Duke Zhen Guo is a century-old nobleman, a family of military generals, and the head of the military attachés. His youngest daughter is the crown prince's concubine, a proper relative of the emperor.

The eldest daughter of Duke Zhen, Lin Xue, was originally married to Dong Lin, the crown prince of Jingyuan. Dong Lin died unexpectedly a year ago, so Duke Zhen took her back to live in the mansion.

Shen Ru looked at Zhou Shaocheng blankly, feeling like the world was spinning, and he fell down, blood flowing down his legs to the ground.

This situation frightened Zhou Shaocheng so much that he stood there at a loss.

Fortunately, Shen Qichen invited Po Wen and the doctor to live in the house, and Shen Ru's maid and nanny were also helpful. After a moment of panic, Shen Ru entered the delivery room.

By the time Shen Qichen and his wife arrived, Shen Ru had already given birth to her second son Zhou Yun (Shen Zhuoyun). Unfortunately, Zhou Yun's twin sister died as soon as she was born.

After Shen Qichen asked for the reason, he was so angry that he slapped Zhou Shaocheng in the face and told Shen Ru and Zhou Shaocheng to make peace.

In this era, it was not easy for a woman to reconcile after she got married. It was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If a woman objected, she would be accused of jealousy, and the man could directly divorce his wife, which would also affect the reputation of his natal family.

Shen Qichen didn't care about reputation, but Shen Ru didn't want to reconcile, so there was nothing he could do.

Zhou Shaocheng's decision to marry Lin Xue did not change because Shen Ru lost his daughter.

Because the two had been together for a long time, Lin Xue was already more than three months pregnant at that time.

Shen Ru gave birth to a child and lost her daughter, and suffered great physical and mental trauma. Zhou Shaocheng did not express concern and greetings, but was busy marrying someone else.

What Shen Ru couldn't accept the most was that Zhou Shaocheng secretly bought a house with three entrances. After marrying Lin Xue in the house, he took Shen Ru's mother and son back.

This suddenly crushed Shen Ru's remaining straw.

Lin Xue is charming and scheming, and is always good at showing off. Shen Ru, who is simple and kind-hearted, is no match for him.

Within a few years, Shen Ru became haggard and her face was ashen. She passed away when Zhou Yun was five years old.

Mother Shen was devastated by the loss of her beloved daughter, and her health deteriorated, and she also died the next year.

Shen Qichen was afraid that Zhou Rui and Zhou Yun would be killed by Lin Xue without their mother's protection, so he took Zhou Rui and Zhou Yun to be raised by his side on the grounds that they had lost their beloved daughter and were getting worse.

Until the sixteen-year-old Zhou Rui won the first place in the Qiu Wei exam, and the fifteen-year-old Zhou Yun was also on the list. Although his name was relatively low, he was already very powerful. After all, he was only fifteen years old.

One is the youngest Jieyuan since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and the other is the youngest Juren. They really have a bright future.
