Chapter 172

General Shen's second son, Shen Conglin is now in his twenties.Although it is not from the main house, but it is also the concubine of Old General Shen, and he is also a well-known second young master in Shen's residence.Although it is not as famous, capable and capable as the eldest young master Shen Congjia, once it is mentioned that the second young master of the Shen family, Shen Conglin, is also a well-known scholar in the capital.

Shen Conglin was born tall and slender, with delicate features and a dignified appearance.When he was five years old, he was familiar with the collection of classics and history, and when he was eight years old, he knew how to recite poems and compose Fu.Throughout the day, I often communicate with literati and scholars in twos and threes. I recite poems and compose Fu and travel all over the mountains and rivers.It is also because I spend my time on these things all day long that I have no time to take care of my marriage. I am almost [-] years old but I am not married.This made Old General Shen and Mrs. Shen in the mansion very anxious, but it was a matter of being anxious.

Mrs. Shen mentioned this matter to General Shen before, but she was politely rejected by the second wife Mrs. Zhang.What are you saying that the second son is still young, and the matter of marriage is still waiting. If he, Shen Conglin, brings back a half-girl in the future, wouldn’t it not only fulfill the wish of the second son, but also satisfy our wish of being parents, etc. .Old General Shen's face turned white and blue after hearing this, the marriages of children have always been the matchmaker's orders, so why would he bring back one and a half of the reason himself in the future.However, Old General Shen didn't urge him because of Zhang's insistence, and only occasionally mentioned it in front of Zhang.

Shen Conglin, the second son, was only thinking about his erudition all day long. In addition to meeting friends with literature in Kyoto and making friends with talented people from all over the world, the second thing was to visit famous mountains and rivers, travel dangerous mountains and rivers, and write poems and paintings for his own enjoyment. There are only a few days in the mansion to make preparations for rest.

This day, Shen Conglin was dusty as usual, carrying his luggage and passing by the corridor of the front hall, and happened to meet Mrs. Shen who was about to go to the front hall.Shen Conglin bowed obediently and bowed his knees to salute Mrs. Shen, "Mother, Gui'an!" Shen Conglin's eyes were fixed not far from his toes.

"Lin'er! You're back. Did you have a good time playing far away this time?" Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Conglin lightly, and saw that he had a rosy complexion, a vigorous figure, and no tiredness.

"Thank you, Erniang, for your thoughtfulness, and I hope you will have a very pleasant trip, Hongfu!" Shen Conglin smiled, and replied briskly according to Mrs. Shen's question.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, your father is practicing in the backyard, come over later to say hello!" Mrs. Shen nodded in satisfaction, changed the maid to lead the way, and continued walking towards the front hall.

Shen Conglin got up and went back to his dormitory with his luggage on his back. The maid in charge of waiting saw that the second young master had returned, and they were all overjoyed. Busy packing food.

The Second Young Master, who had been silent for half a year, exploded in the yard.

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed when she heard the maid came to report that the second young master was back.Stepping directly from the dormitory to Shen Conglin's dormitory, the mother and son were very happy to see it.

Seeing that her son looked a little thinner than half a year ago, Mrs. Zhang burst into tears.

"My Lin'er, you're back! Let my mother miss you to death." Mrs. Zhang hugged Shen Conglin into her arms, and the tears contained both Mrs. Zhang's longing for her own son and Looking forward to my son.

"Mother, isn't the child coming back now? Are you still crying because of that? Wouldn't it just add to your sorrow?" How could Shen Conglin understand a mother's mood at this time.Nuonuo continued: "Mother, the child is not filial, I miss you!"

"Silly boy, mother didn't blame you, she just wept with joy! I'm happy for mother!" Mrs. Zhang hugged her son even tighter.
We must know that in this social era where mothers are more expensive than children, the marriage of sons often involves the weight and status of mothers in a family.However, this Shen Conglin is a happy person, and he has never thought about these social rules.

The mother and son babbled about some ordinary things together, but in the end the topic fell on Shen Conglin's marriage.

"Lin'er, your parents are getting older now. And your marriage is still uncertain, so you are very worried for your mother and your father. I don't know what your plan is?" Mrs. Zhang glanced at Shen Conglin in front of her, and from Shen Conglin Between his brows, he found confidence and maturity that had lost his childishness.

"Mother, is the child causing trouble for mother in the house again?" Shen Conglin asked obediently when he saw that Zhang's brows were frowning.

"Lin'er, I didn't force you because of my mother, but now that you have grown up, I don't need to tell you the truth for my mother's sake. I am too old, even if I don't think about my mother, I should think about it for myself! Seeing that Shen Conglin didn't know what he wanted to say this time, Mrs. Zhang continued: "Now Shen Congjia has made great contributions to the imperial court and is quite famous, but you travel all day long and don't care about your fame. If you don't add another to the Shen family Xianghuo, how will you stand up in this Shen residence in the future!"

"I said a lot of truths for my mother, didn't I just want my child to get married as soon as possible!" Shen Conglin came up with this point from the previous mother's conversations, and then explained it clearly, and pretended to be smart and foolishly laughed.

"You silly boy, are you trying to be a mother on purpose?!" Seeing that her son was joking with her, Mrs. Zhang deliberately pretended to slap Shen Conglin on the left arm.

"Hee hee, mother! My child is no longer a child. Even if you don't force her this time, she will tell you that her return from this trip is indeed a major matter for her!" Shen Conglin saw Zhang's mind , so he deliberately played tricks to adjust the appetite of the second lady.

"You child, do you still have something to hide from your mother?" Mrs. Zhang saw her child pretending to be a secret in front of her, but for a moment she didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, and she felt happy and anxious.

"Mother, I did meet the love of this life when I went to Xitang this time." Shen Conglin couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, and continued to say to Mrs. Zhang: "The woman I met this time is the most beautiful woman I have ever met in my life." Special one!"

When Zhang saw that Lin was so happy this time and mentioned that he had a woman he liked, he also showed an excited smile on his face.

The mother and son sat next to each other in Shen Conglin's bedroom, happily talking about what they saw and heard during the trip.Zhang found out from his son's conversation that Shen Conglin had indeed grown up, and was no longer the frivolous young man who only knew how to recite poems and play prose.

Shen Conglin accompanied Mrs. Zhang to Old General Shen's study. The old general saw Shen Conglin, took a look, and said, "I'm back!"

Shen Conglin hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Baby pay respects to father and lord!" Shen Conglin knelt down in front of Old General Shen with one leg bent.

"There's no need to salute, just come back!" Old General Shen didn't appear very happy or unhappy, which was very different from the last time he came back.

A year ago, Shen Conglin met robbers on his way back from the Western Regions, and he was robbed completely.One of the playmates who went with him was wounded by the robbers, but fortunately he was rescued by the officers and soldiers of Daqi and was able to return to the capital with his life.After returning, he was severely scolded by General Shen and severely punished.For a period of time, this anecdote was still used as a joke by the common people in Kyoto, saying that the young master of the great general was robbed by robbers, which made Old General Shen very angry for a while.
