Splendid Book

Chapter 65
Shen Changle is not a virtuous person, but the matter of Shen Hui is not a big deal.Besides, she can also understand Shen Hui's thoughts. She grew up under the shadow of Aunt Han since she was a child, even if her own mother is the wife of Zhengtou.But in the end, she was not as decent as Aunt Han as a concubine.

This kind of shadow definitely affects Shen Hui's life, so Shen Changle believes her words.After all, Shen Lingchang's official position is neither high nor low, and he is not considered an important person in the capital. If he hadn't come from the Duke of Wei, he might be even worse than he is now.Therefore, even if Shen Hui is his prostitute, the status of her husband's family who can marry in the future will not be too high. If it is too high, she may not be able to climb high.

Therefore, Shen Hui simply gave up her thoughts of climbing high, and it would be better to find a safe person to marry in a small family.She is not a dissatisfied person, nor is she such an ignorant person. It is good to be rich, but no one can guess what is hidden behind this wealth.

After Shen Hui left, Shen Changle sat on the couch, slowly recalling the family Shen Hui married in the previous life.She naturally remembered that she was married to Wei Yansheng, a son of a poor family, and this marriage was witnessed by her second uncle in person.When the eldest sister's marriage was first decided, there was a lot of discussion in the house. After all, the dignified daughter of the first wife married a poor scholar.However, it is mostly said that the second uncle is eccentric.

But no one expected that Wei Yansheng not only won the second-class Jinshi, but also became an official all the way. When Shen Changle entered the palace, he had already sought an official position.He also took Shen Jin with him to take office. At that time, Shen Jin would not only have both sons and daughters, but also a loving husband and wife. Wei Yansheng didn't have a concubine, let alone a concubine.

Thinking about it this way, in the past two lives, the eldest sister has not changed her original intention.In her previous life, she probably thought the same way. People in the world only saw the scene in front of them, but they didn't know the changes in the future.Although children from poor families are poorer at the beginning, if the husband and wife are of one mind, and the wife can devote herself wholeheartedly to the husband in the first days, how will there be a bright day in the future.Besides, the poor family is more comfortable than the Hou family's deep house.

Shen Changle herself is an example, she really doesn't want to think about the days in Pingyang Hou Mansion.She herself was born in a wealthy family, so she doesn't envy such a noble family.

only……

She held her chin lightly and looked out the window. The sun was shining outside, and it was so hot that the cicadas on the tree kept calling.Although there are people who are clinging every day, there is always an inexhaustible illusion.

She likes Ji Yu, perhaps earlier than now, they have known each other since they were young, and when she was in trouble countless times, he was the one who came to save her.Even in the previous life, someone as noble as him came here to save her.But can this kind of liking withstand the long years and endless loneliness?
He is the future emperor, and she will not be the only one by his side.It was only half a year in the previous life, and countless indignations were aroused in the court, and they wrote letters to ask him to accept the harem widely, so that it can spread its branches and leaves as soon as possible.Houmen is as deep as the sea, but the palace gate is a thousand feet deeper than Houmen.

She is a person who has suffered a lot, so she is always cautious. Even in the Shen family, she is a favorite like a jewel, but she still won't make a wrong step.She wants to be the best and the most perfect, so that no one can find fault.So she was afraid of the unknown future, and she was afraid that she would end up in a miserable end after working so hard.

She is really not someone who can look at life happily.

So for Shen Hui's request, she still helped her raise it to her second brother.After all, she is also a young lady who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't go out. How can she have the ability to help others to find out.On the other hand, Shen Rufan raised his eyebrows when he heard her words, and immediately asked very bluntly: "Are you okay to ask what he is doing?"

This time I want to investigate Feng Youfeng, the second young master of the Changping Hou Mansion. I heard that this is the relationship between Aunt Shen Hui. The second young master is looking for a girl with good character.So I secretly revealed the news, thinking that the fat and water would not flow to outsiders.Of course, according to Aunt Shen Hui's words, their Chen family is just a small family, how can they imagine that they can climb up to the Hou's mansion.

But Shen Hui is different. After all, she is a girl from the Duke's Mansion. Not only is her father powerful, but her uncles and brothers are also powerful, so this marriage is just right.

Naturally, Mrs. Chen was hesitant about such a good thing. After all, although Shen Hui was a girl from the Duke's Mansion, everyone knew that it was because the old lady was still there and the Duke's Mansion hadn't separated yet.Besides, the Duke of the State is now the uncle of his own daughter, which is another level of difference.To put it bluntly, the old lady will be a hundred years old in the future, and the second room will not be able to afford anything except a little money, and even the third room will be far inferior.

Originally under the influence of Shen Hui, Mrs. Chen had made up her mind to find a small family with a simple population for her daughter.But before a better choice appears, who can not be tempted.Besides, my aunt is smart, knowing that Aunt Han is the heart disease of Chen's life, so she encouraged her to agree.After all, if she got such a powerful marriage, would Aunt Han dare to make it in the future?Besides, Aunt Han also has Shen Lan. If Shen Hui, the first sister, is not as good as Shen Lan, she might be laughed at in the future.

After going back and forth like this, Chen's heart was naturally moved.Mrs. Chen, who didn't go out much before, took Shen Hui to Daci Temple to offer incense, where she 'coincidentally' met Mrs. Changping Hou.I don't know, but when I met Mrs. Changping Hou, she dressed elegantly and spoke slowly, looking like a pampered lady.Besides, she now knows about the second son of Changping Marquis Mansion, because the eldest brother above will inherit the title in the future, so Madam Hou feels sorry for the younger son, so she planned for the younger son's birth early.

In addition, this second young master is also very competitive, and I heard that his martial arts are outstanding, even if he participated in the autumn hunting last year, he is also a good one.So I heard that the association is about to fill the vacancy of the Deputy Commander of the Beijing Guard. Such a young master of the Hou Mansion, who has a family background and a future, even if he pulls it out and talks casually, countless mothers-in-law will pounce on him.

Because Shen Changle is really not familiar with this Mr. Feng, and he has never heard of this name in his previous life.So now that Shen Hui begged to come over, she could only ask Shen Ruan.

Now Shen Ruyan is also a 17-year-old boy. If his father hadn't restrained him, he would have given up literature and pursued martial arts long ago.But that's it, when he heard Shen Changle asking about Feng Youfeng, he immediately raised his brows, and asked with faint anger: "It's fine to ask him what he is doing?"

Fortunately, before she asked this question, she had already let the maids go down.

So at this moment, she immediately took Shen Ruwen's arm coquettishly, and said softly: "Second brother, don't be angry, just listen to me first. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance, right?"

Shen Changle looked at him, trying to seek a response.But who would have thought that Shen Ruyan's lips twitched into a slight smile.It's just that he chuckled lightly, but he couldn't tell what it meant, Shen Changle looked at it with a hint of contempt.

"Actually, I'm asking for the sake of other people." Shen Changle didn't think about whether to let Shen Hui out, after all, even if it was his own elder brother or elder sister with such a thin skin, she would be embarrassed.

But when she saw that Shen Ruan's face was full of anger, she immediately said obediently: "Actually, I asked the question for the eldest sister?"

"Big sister? What's wrong with her?" Shen Rufan had a look of disbelief, although he didn't have deep contact with Shen Hui.But at a glance, she knew that Shen Hui was a well-behaved girl, how could she do such an outrageous thing and ask someone to help her find out about a foreigner?

Shen Changle naturally also saw his disbelief, she was a little angry, she said: "I have never met that person, I just asked what he does, second brother, you must have underestimated me."

When Shen Rufan thought of the wolves outside, he also sighed.The same is true, Changle is staying at home now, almost never going out of the door, and he doesn't recognize Feng Youfeng.But he naturally still didn't believe that Shen Hui would inquire about a foreigner for no reason.

So Shen Changle told Shen Ruan a little bit about Shen Hui's marriage proposal with Feng Youfeng.After he listened, his brows became tighter, "I thought the elder sister was a well-behaved one, even discussing marriage is a matter between the elders, how could you, a younger sister, help to find out the news."

Shen Changle didn't expect him to have such an attitude, and thought that the second elder brother would readily agree.So she couldn't help but said: "Second brother, eldest sister really has no other choice, so she begged me. Think about it, if there is really something wrong with Feng Youfeng, wouldn't eldest sister's life be ruined, woman How difficult it is to marry a good family in this life."

Shen Ruan's expression softened, and he explained: "I didn't mean that, it's just that this is a matter for the elders. Since the elder sister's aunt told her about this marriage, it must have been found out about the other party. His family background and character, otherwise, he wouldn't have come to marry his elder sister so easily."

Shen Changle also had to admit that what he said was right, but she was a little unconvinced, and said: "Then if the other party deliberately conceals some things, you have to inquire carefully to find out. I think the elder sister wants to ask the elder brother to inquire about it." It's because you, brother, are similar in age to that Feng Youfeng. Maybe you know someone who is close to him. So he has some shady hobbies, maybe you can find out, but her aunt can't. come out."

Shen Ruan also smiled when she heard her such a long talk, pinned her head, and said, "I see you, there are a lot of nonsense."

Shen Changle knew that he had agreed to this matter, seeing that he had completed the task, he hugged his arm and showed a smug smile.Then, he asked very curiously: "Brother, if something like this happens to me one day, will you help me find out?"

Shen Ru'an was distracted, so he didn't answer immediately, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately frowned and showed a terrible smile: "What do you mean, you girl, you really dare to ask anything."

Shen Changle shrank his shoulders slightly.

Shen Rufan snorted, but what he was thinking in his heart was that if such a day really came, he would definitely study the eighteen generations of that person's ancestors to see if there was any genetic disease history in his family, and if there was anything unsightly. people's hobbies.

But thinking about it this way, those three seem to have another advantage, at least they are people who he knows everything about, don't they?
Bah, bah, bah, no matter what he knows, if anyone dares to get his sister's idea, let's see if his life is tough enough.

Therefore, Shen Changle successfully handed over this extremely important task to Shen Ruyan.On the second day, after class, she dragged Shen Hui to her yard, told her about it, and told her not to be so anxious, after all, the matter hadn't been officially settled yet.

"Third sister, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do," Shen Hui lowered her head slightly, her eyes were moist, she also came to beg Shen Changle with the possibility of just in case.After all, after much deliberation, there are not many people she can ask for.It's just that she didn't expect that Shen Changle would handle this matter so smoothly.

Shen Changle didn't feel anything, she smiled, took her hand, and said: "Don't worry, with the second brother here, I can definitely inquire about it for you. Besides, don't thank me, I am at most Spread the word, everything is done by the second brother."

She thought for a while, and then said: "Why don't you go back and do some sewing for the second elder brother. You know, my sewing is not as good as yours. The second elder brother has been exaggerating about you."

Shen Hui is sincere, once Shen Changle said so, she did it when she went back.In just three days, he helped Shen Ruwen make a pair of shoes and a purse.She was also embarrassed to directly send it to Shen Ruwen, and it was Shen Changle who entrusted her to forward it.

As soon as Shen Ruyan got the things, there was a different expression on his face.

Shen Changle immediately said from the side: "Second brother, take a look, you are right, I said long ago that eldest sister has the best temper, and is also the one who repays kindness the most."

"I inquired for her because of the brother-sister relationship, and I didn't point to her for anything in return," Shen Ruan snorted immediately, the expression on this face was called righteousness.

Shen Changle nodded immediately, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you are high-spirited, and I underestimated you. It is I who treat a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain."

However, this inquiring matter is not something that can be found out in a moment or two.In a few days it will be the birthday of the old lady of the Jining Marquis Mansion, Shen Changle wants to go there early, so I told Shen Hui.As for the female family members of the Shen family, they went there with the old lady that day, so after Shen Changle said goodbye to the old lady, he got into the carriage and went to the Jining Marquis Mansion.

The [-]th birthday is a big event. When Shen Changle arrived at Zhang's house, he saw that the walls on all four sides had been repainted.The old lady's yard has been renovated even more. When she entered, her aunt was talking with her grandmother.

"Yo yo, my darling is here," Zhang Ru beckoned her to go when he saw her.

Zhang Ru herself had two birth defects, so every time she sees such a beautiful Shen Changle, she only hates her face, which is as beautiful as a fairy. It is really a pity that no girl can inherit it.Fortunately, Shen Changle also looks a bit like her, so she is quite proud of it, and she always shows it to make fun of it.

It turned out that Zhang Ru came here because of the theater troupe.Originally, the old lady didn't want to invite opera singers over because she thought it was too noisy.But Zhang Ru specially snatched the best theater troupe in the capital from others, and came to the Hou Mansion to sing at the hall. If he didn't want it again, wouldn't he offend people.

"Mother, there can be several sixties in a person's lifetime, but this one, if you don't let me and elder brother show filial piety, I think the spitting stars of these noble ladies in the capital can drown our brothers and sisters," Zhang said. At the end of Ru's speech, she could not help being coquettish.

The old lady smiled naturally, pointed at her and said: "You are so old, you are still acting like a baby in front of my old lady. You are not afraid that Changle will laugh at you."

"Chang Le and I are of the same mind, so she won't laugh at me," Zhang Ru said, turning her head and blinking at her, and asked, "You say so, Chang Le."

Shen Changle nodded affirmatively, and then persuaded him: "That's right, it's just like this once, and when you celebrate next time, it will be your [-]th birthday, so there is no next [-]th birthday. So you just listen to Auntie. If you want to, let people sing it lively for a few days. Otherwise, the people who come here to pay homage to the birthday are just sitting around."

The old lady laughed again, she was so entangled by these two debt collectors that there was nothing she could do.

Finally agreed.

But what Shen Changle didn't expect was that what she had been worrying about all along was gathered here.
