home in the end

Chapter 212
Because Shen Shishi had something on his mind, he always observed Liang Yimu secretly along the way. Liang Yimu felt something, but he couldn't figure it out. Finally, the two of them arrived at the border between Guangdong and Guangxi. Liang Yimu was unwilling to follow Shen Shishi. Go to Guangzhou, bid farewell to him and ride all the way to Guangxi.

Shen Shixi ran home full of joy, got off the carriage and asked his wife where he was going, and ran there immediately, before he entered the room, he shouted: "Madam, madam, I found you a good son-in-law..."

What greeted Shen Shishi was a Gu teacup.

Shen Shiyi tilted his head to avoid the teacup, saw his wife's eyes were red, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me?" The young lady laughed angrily, "Didn't you say you found me a good son-in-law? Tell me how good he is, what's so good about it?"

Shen Shiyi's heart trembled when he saw it. After nearly 20 years of husband and wife, except for his wife's mother, no one knew her better than him. This was a sign that she was even more angry. You wouldn't be so angry if you don't have Liang Yimu's family background, right?And he hasn't had time to tell his wife yet.

Shen Shixi asked cautiously: "What is the lady asking?"

Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows, "I ask you how your son-in-law is doing?"

Shen Shixi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "He is upright and kind. Although sometimes he is too upright, his flaws are not hidden. The most important thing is that he doesn't want to take concubines. He will respect his wife after he said that, and he will always..."

Mrs. Shen's eyes widened, "You mean the son-in-law?"

"Of course it's Qiniang's. He hasn't said goodbye yet, so we can't skip her and give it to Tenniang..." Before he finished speaking, another teacup greeted him.

Shen Shishi dodged, wanting to be angry, but lost his temper when he saw his wife's face. His wife knew that his grandmother thought he was too eccentric, and the incident with the Ou family had also hit him a little bit, so she gave him a slap in the face. He chose a just and strict wife...

Mrs. Shen was so strong in her first life, but at this time she couldn't help but her eyes were red, and she pointed at Shen Shishi's nose and said angrily, "What kind of a good son-in-law is that? Even if I'm not in the capital, I know that the second boy of the Fan family is not a good guy. At the age of three or four, he went to and from the land of smoke and willows, and he dragged all the colors in the house into the house, integrity? Kindness? Pooh, I'm ashamed to say it if you dare!"

Shen Shishi came to his senses at this time, the two were not talking about the same person at all, "I'm talking about the Liang family, why did the Fan family get involved?"

Nanny Yu who was beside Mrs. Shen pulled Mrs. Shen's sleeve and said, "Madam, it looks like Master doesn't know yet."

Shen Shiyi raised his eyebrows, and his intentionally restrained anger was revealed, "What do you know? What is the second boy of the Fan family?"

Madam Shen turned around and took out a letter from the couch, threw it on him and said, "Look for yourself!"

Shen Shixi took it over and saw that it was a letter from the Shen family in the capital. After a while, Shen Shixi's face turned purple with anger, his hands trembled, and his face was full of hostility. Mrs. Shen and Nanny Yu trembled when they saw it. , They haven't seen such a master before.

Mrs. Shen knew that her husband did not know about it, so she became even more annoyed, took out her handkerchief and cried: "I thought you knew, but you don't know... what does mother-in-law mean? Even if she is an elder, she never arranged a marriage for her granddaughter without asking her parents, not to mention this marriage... The eldest son of the Fan family was oppressed by the stepmother. The stupid things about him are because the second young master of the Fan family was doted on by his mother since he was a child, and his grandmother is his aunt... none of the ten said he was good..."

Shen Shishi's face was so gloomy that water dripped out. He grew up mixed in the capital, and he had little contact with the Fan family at the beginning. No one knows the situation of Jinxiang Hou Fan's family better than him. The first married Marquis of Jinxiang was the daughter of the Shang family, but his second wife was the niece of his stepmother’s natal family. The Marquis of Jinxiang didn’t care much, so he handed over all the backyard to that stepwife. Come, but blindly indulge his own son, this is also a joke in the capital.

It's just that once this joke involves itself, it won't feel so good!
Shen Shiyi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then showed a big smile and said: "Lady, I just leave this matter to my husband, I only have such a precious daughter, and she is so obedient, even if I won't let you Someone deceived her!"

As he said that, there was a coldness in his eyes.

Nanny Yu shuddered when she saw it, and then she remembered that my uncle also got the nickname of the Demon King in the capital.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen felt at ease, and nodded with tears in her eyes.

After thinking for a while, he said: "The daughters are alone in Beijing, and there is no one to discuss with them if something happens, or I'd better go to the capital."

Shen Shishi was a little unhappy, why didn't his wife believe him?
Mrs. Shen could tell from his expression that he had misunderstood. If her husband misunderstood that she didn't believe him, the best relationship would be compromised, right?Then he explained: "I'm worried about the health of my ancestors. This marriage is not like the one that has been with my ancestors. Hearing you say this, it seems that after you left, the mother-in-law arranged it privately. After the ancestors knew about it, they didn't know about it." how?"

The husband is different from other pedantic people. Mrs. Shen never hides her dissatisfaction with her mother-in-law from him.

Hearing this, Shen Shishi was also a little worried, hesitated for a moment and said: "If I go back to Beijing, I don't know how long this stay will last. It will take me two months to come back here from the capital, and it takes four months to go back and forth. I'm here alone..."

Nanny Yu has already quietly retreated with her people.

Mrs. Shen glared at him with some reproach, "You're not a child anymore, and I won't say how long you'll stay there, I'm just going to take care of my ancestors, and if I come back, I'll definitely bring my daughter back. Does it mean that if I lost one daughter, I have to pay for both daughters?"

Shen Shixi fell silent for a moment.

Mrs. Shen remembered Shen Shishi's "good son-in-law" at the beginning, so she asked him.

Shen Shiyi lifted his spirits, explained Liang Yimu's situation in detail, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Mrs. Shen was also a little moved, and she felt good about the phrase "no concubine". After inquiring about the situation in Liang Yimu's family, she knew that he had a younger brother and a younger sister, and she was even more moved. Protecting his younger siblings when he was not full, and supporting a younger brother to go to school, the whole family can survive. It can be seen that he is capable. His younger siblings love him, which means that he also loves his younger siblings. You said he is an upright person, even if It doesn't matter if the family background is poor." He said feeling a little bit lost, and said: "But Qiniang is engaged, no matter how good it is, it's useless, and Shiniang is a bit older, and you also said that he is a big one. Shi Niang's temperament is fine if she marries the second son, if the eldest son is afraid..."

Shen Shixi felt that his wife's worries were unnecessary, "That marriage is insignificant, and I will annul it sooner or later."

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes angrily and said: "You think it's so easy to waste the marriage? What's more, the marriage has to wait until the year of the monkey. You also said that he is not young. If he finds a woman in Guangxi to marry gone?"

Shen Shiyi frowned, "You're right, it's so easy for me to fall in love with a son-in-law, I can't take advantage of others, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

Mrs. Shen doesn't know what her husband will do, but she trusts him in her heart. Although her husband usually acts like a fool, she is still used to him standing in front of big things.

Shen Shishi was still smiling when facing Mrs. Shen, but when he left the yard, his face was a bit gloomy.

The night before Shen Shiyi came back, he stayed in the study room. It took him all night to write a letter to Marquis Jinxiang, telling him solemnly that he didn't like this marriage between his children and wanted to divorce him!
The second letter was written to Mrs. Shen, and the meaning was roughly the same, but the wording was a little softer. The general meaning was that he did not want the old lady to interfere in his children's marriage.

The reactions of the two people when they received the letter were completely different. Hou Jinxiang read it as a joke. When they were hanging out together in the capital, Shen Shishi was such a fool. It looked like a ruffian, but it was actually an embroidered pillow. , when I went to the brothel, I only invited the girls to sing and play the piano, usually I didn't even dare to touch the girl's hands, and I even got the title of "elegant scholar", this time I saw that he could write like an article even to dissolve the marriage of his children, Marquis Jinxiang was even happier, he directly took out the letter and read it in front of all his friends who were in the brothel, which made a lot of people happy for a while.

Old Mrs. Shen was furious, and said to her close mother: "He is my son, I can't decide his marriage, can it be that I can't even say a word about my granddaughter's marriage?"

Elder Shen, who was sitting at the bottom, rolled his eyelids, and still said: "Mother, no matter how you say it, you have to ask the eleventh brother and younger siblings what they mean before making a decision, but you made the decision without saying a word, if it wasn't for the Fan family to make the decision , we don't even know that you have exchanged Geng posts with the Fan family."

The angry look on Old Mrs. Shen's face was even worse. When the ancestor heard about this marriage, he passed out in front of all the juniors. When he woke up, he had a stroke. He couldn't even speak clearly. He just pointed at her. With a face full of anger, for this matter, the Shen family's relatives gave her a lot of face, several old wives even ran against her openly and secretly, and people in the capital even watched her jokes. She hadn't seen her for two months. go out.

"What's wrong with this marriage? The Marquis of Jinxiang is a noble family, and the second boy of the Fan family will inherit the title in the future. Qiniang's passing is the predestined order..."

"Mother!" Elder Shen interrupted her, and said with some dissatisfaction: "The Marquis of Jinxiang has the eldest son, and it's not his turn to be the title of the Marquis. Mother, don't say this anymore."

Old Mrs. Shen sneered nonchalantly, "It's hard to say who owns this title. He just took the title of the eldest son for nothing."

Grand Master Shen frowned, and wanted to say something, but he just remembered his mother's usual temperament and still didn't say anything.

It's just that I'm also very dissatisfied with the marriage that Mrs. Shen made for Qiniang, not to mention who the title of the Fan family will fall to. With Mr. Shen's heart of a scholar, I still look down on the nobles like the Fan family who only eat the royal rations. What's more, the Shang family is not a vegetarian, and the eldest son's uncle is well-known in the capital for his uprightness and staidness. Along with his integrity and staidness, he is also famous for his "stern" protective nature.

Other people's protection of shortcomings will more or less make people say that they lack justice, but he even protects his shortcomings in a fair and aboveboard manner, but no one can say that he is wrong!
