Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 147

If it was another prince who had stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, he should have found a way to get another job.The sixth prince is good, even if the emperor offered to change his errand for him, he himself was not willing.The Sixth Prince's concubine is even more indifferent. She has been married for half a year, and she hasn't even held a party.

After all the calculations, the sixth prince only had the advantage of being loved by the emperor, and he couldn't even help him with errands.Therefore, the queen didn't want to spend all her time trying to handle the sixth prince, as long as the sixth prince didn't fight against her, it would be fine.

Therefore, the empress didn't bother to ask about the sixth prince's affairs.If the sixth prince wanted to marry his side concubine, he would have brought it up on his own initiative. Why would he do such an unpleasant thing when the young husband and wife are passionate about each other?

The emperor doesn't care anymore, the son likes it himself, it's not like he doesn't have grandsons, and it's not like Shen Ruyi can't have children. Now that his son and daughter-in-law are still young, if he doesn't want a side concubine, then don't. up.

The biggest members of the royal family are silent, who would jump out without winking to annoy others?

Shen Ruyi had no idea what the sixth prince had said to the empress dowager when he entered the palace. She was still gearing up to cheer herself up, gathering all her strength to fight the outsiders.

In her previous life, it was because she was too weak that she couldn't even protect her own mother. In this life, she is unwilling to be beaten passively.Whoever dares to intervene between their husband and wife, she will make life worse than death, and she must protect her family well.

But she waited and waited, from two months to three months, from three months to four months, but no enemy jumped out.Except for Nanny Ding nagging in Shen Ruyi's ear about the need to divide the house from time to time, the palace was as calm as if she wasn't pregnant.

Shen Ruyi was really puzzled, so she mentioned it to the sixth prince, who couldn't help laughing: "Is that why you worry about it? I was worried before, and I always felt that you were a little too nervous. I thought you were pregnant for the first time, so I'm afraid in my heart, if you said it earlier, wouldn't you have to worry about it for so long?"

Shen Ruyi remained silent, who was worried?Am I not preparing in advance?

"You don't have to worry, the emperor's grandmother has already agreed. I will let me decide the affairs of my house. If I don't like any woman, the emperor's grandmother will not bother to send me any woman." After a pause, the sixth prince He smiled again: "Ruyi, before we got married, didn't I promise you that I would never make you sad in this life? But I will take care of everything that may make you sad in advance. You just have to be happy." That's fine, don't think too much about it."

Shen Ruyi pursed her lips, and raised her arms to hug the sixth prince. The sixth prince reached out and patted Shen Ruyi on the back lightly: "Ruyi, you also have to trust me, believe that I can protect you."

"Well, okay, I believe you. From now on, I won't ask about these things anymore." Shen Ruyi smiled happily, and the sixth prince also smiled. After laughing for a while, he reached out and touched Shen Ruyi's stomach: "Ruyi, you Say, will our first child be a boy or a girl?"

Shen Ruyi's emotion and love faded away in an instant. It didn't disappear, but became helpless. Since the last time he was diagnosed with Ximai in the Hou's Mansion, and since he came back, the sixth prince has been asking about it once a day.

"I don't know, do you like boys or girls?" Shen Ruyi looked up at the sixth prince, and the sixth prince stroked his chin: "Well, I like them all, whether they are boys or girls, they are all our children. I like them both, how about you? Which one do you like more?"

"Me too, I like both of them. However, for the first child, the best thing is to have a boy. In this way, in the future, I won't..." Shen Ruyi paused, and the sixth prince immediately understood: " It doesn't matter, the imperial grandmother and the queen mother won't care about it, besides, isn't there a saying that blooms first and then bears fruit? We can only have such a child. I think girls are better. "

The sixth prince said with a smile: "If the first child is a daughter, in the future when you have another child, the daughter can help you take care of your younger brothers and sisters. Don't they all say that daughters are caring little padded jackets? There is a boss who will help you. You'll be much more relaxed."

"Look at what you said, is it possible that I gave birth to a daughter just to let her help me take care of the child?" Shen Ruyi couldn't help laughing: "It's not that there are no maids and maids in the family. You say that, be careful when the daughter grows up and gives birth to you." gas."

The sixth prince quickly stretched out his hand to touch Shen Ruyi's belly: "Babe, don't be angry with Dad. Dad is just joking. When you are born, Dad will not have time to love you. How could he be willing to work hard for you? But help your mother." Taking care of your younger siblings is not a tiring job, you have to help with this, because you are the elder sister, the elder sister should have the air of an elder sister, and in the future you will be able to make the younger siblings listen to you and help you do things."

"Are you sure this must be a girl?" Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows, and the sixth prince smiled: "Maybe it's a girl, shall we give the child a nickname?"

"What if it's a boy? You call him a girl's name. When he becomes sensible, he will definitely worry about you." Shen Ruyi said with a smile, and the sixth prince waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, we can choose a Yinan A woman."

As for the name, although he is not willing to give it up to others, the name given by the emperor is obviously to add a layer of protection to the child.Others can't ask for a name from the emperor, so this opportunity must be saved.

"It's better for a man than a woman? Then you have to think about it, and it has to be simpler, catchy, and the meaning is good." Shen Ruyi nodded with a smile, and she didn't use that brain, anyway, she couldn't take it by herself. what a good name.

Just look at the big maid next to her. At first, it started with the word chun, then it started with the word xia, then it started with the word Autumn, and now the one who was promoted started with the word winter, how easy it is.

Where is it like the daughters of other people's families, the maids around her all take some very elegant names.

The sixth prince responded immediately: "Okay, I'll turn around and look through the book, and I'm sure I can give our child a very nice name!"

The Wang Mansion is harmonious and harmonious, but the atmosphere in the Hou Mansion is a bit uneasy. It's not that Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen are arguing, it's not that the old lady suddenly found fault, and it's not that Aunt Wang is suddenly stupid, but it's that in Yunnan, Suddenly a letter came.

Lord Shen couldn't help sighing after reading it. Mrs. Shen was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? But what happened?"

"The second younger brother and sister had been pampered and pampered in the Hou's Mansion before. They were a little tired when they were on the road. They didn't pay attention at the time and fell ill. When they first arrived in Yunnan, they were not familiar with the people and they were not acclimatized. So they fell ill again. It's not good since then, I couldn't afford it, and it dragged on for two years..."

Lord Shen frowned, and Mrs. Shen's face turned pale: "Could it be the second younger sibling?"

Lord Shen nodded, and handed the letter in his hand to Mrs. Shen: "Look at it, last month, the second brother and sister just passed away. Rui is not young anymore, the academies in Yunnan are all so-so, and the second brother also wants Mingrui to stay in the capital and study for two years with peace of mind."

Mrs. Shen read the letter at a glance, and sighed: "I really didn't expect that the second brother and sister just... just left, leaving only two sons and one daughter, really... this mother left , but it will be hard for the child."

Lord Shen snorted coldly: "With such a mother, the child is suffering. Do you think that no one mentioned the incident in the past two years, so it is over? When Mingrui comes back, he should know Things are getting serious."

Mrs. Shen was a little puzzled: "Could it be that those people will not let Mingrui go?"

"It's not a question of whether to let it go or not, but all kinds of rumors, ridicule, and suppression." Lord Shen patiently explained to Mrs. Shen: "Although the teaching in the colleges in the capital is good, but Just because the capital is at the foot of the emperor, those who can enter the academy are not ordinary people. Mingrui is just the eldest son of the second house who was released from the Houfu. Our eldest house has no one who can replace Mingrui for the time being. Rui is about to be suppressed."

Children's qi fights, under normal circumstances, as long as they don't hurt the root, adults will not intervene.The younger generations are all about to embark on official careers, and those in the academy should be trained in advance.

Shen Mingxiu of the long room is not yet old enough to go to the academy, and even if he does, he is quite a few years younger than Shen Mingrui, so he must not be studying in the same academy.Furthermore, Shen Mingrui is old, how could he ask his young cousin for help?
"There must be someone who steps on Mingrui to climb up, how could life be easier?" Shen Houye sighed, and frowned again: "Besides, Mingrui is not married yet, and when he arrives in the capital, he will be taken care of by our long house." , whether it's being wronged or getting into trouble, we have to take care of everything in the long room. It's okay to talk about the outside affairs. With me around, there won't be too much trouble, but I'm a little worried about the inner house. In case Mingrui thinks that the death of the second sibling is the reason for our long house, I would rather separate the family!"

"Are you worried about me?" Mrs. Shen was a little surprised. Lord Shen stared at Mrs. Shen expressionlessly, feeling powerless again. Could it be that his performance was so inconspicuous?This woman didn't understand until now?
"You don't have to worry about me. You don't have to interfere with the affairs of the inner house. Mingrui is a boy's family. Apart from eating, drinking, clothing and sleeping, how can he spend all his energy in the inner courtyard? As long as I take care of these things, I have a clear conscience." Now, if you are really worried, you can transfer the second brother back, anyway, the second brother and sister have passed away, so what happened back then is over."

Although she didn't like people in the second room, whoever's child was in charge, she didn't want to take the responsibility of taking care of Shen Mingrui on herself.She has already run out of skills to take care of Minghe, so how can she have time to take care of her nephew?
Besides, if you take good care of him, that's what you should do. If you don't take good care of him, outsiders will think you are treating your nephew harshly.It is not easy to please, it is too troublesome.

"Besides, the old lady is getting older, and I think she wants the children to gather around her." Mrs. Shen smiled, and suddenly remembered that there was another Shen Jiamei in the second room. She hesitated for a while, and raised her own objection: " However, it’s fine if the second brother doesn’t come back, after all, he’s already been released, it’s fine if he doesn’t make some achievements, then when the official department assesses, I’m afraid...don’t affect his official career at that time.”

Shen Jiamei is not easy to dismiss, the second sibling has passed away, if the second wife comes back, Shen Jiamei must be brought up by her uncle.To be honest, she didn't like Shen Jiamei. She was such a young girl back then, she could play tricks, but now she doesn't know what she looks like.

It is enough for her to have Shen Ruyi, Shen Yunrou was brought up by Aunt Wang herself, and she does not want to take over a girl who is not Shen Ruyi at all.The only girl she is willing to pay for is Shen Ruyi.The rest are irrelevant outsiders.

It's fine if only one Shen Mingrui comes back, but it's enough to take care of eating and drinking.

"If Mingrui comes back, I'm afraid Jiamei will come back too." Mrs. Shen thought that her thoughts were concealed very well, but she didn't expect that the person sitting opposite her was Lord Shen, who had a first-class ability to perceive words and expressions. , Later, he became interested in Mrs. Shen, and even studied Mrs. Shen's emotions and thoughts thoroughly.

What's more, Mrs. Shen thought she covered it up very well, which was not the case at all.

Mrs. Shen's eyes widened, and Lord Shen sighed: "Since the second younger brother and sister have passed away, Jiamei is a girl in the family, so she must be raised by someone, and the old lady's body is like that, so she must not be placed in front of the old lady. Unless the second brother immediately continued, otherwise..."

"I think it's better to quickly find someone to take care of him." Mrs. Shen immediately said, with a worried expression on her face: "Yunnan is so far away, we can't always ask about the situation of the second brother, if there is a suitable person to take care of him Now, you can rest assured, and the old lady can rest assured, don't you think?"

Lord Shen had a half-smile, and Mrs. Shen kept her expression unchanged. After a long while, Lord Shen nodded: "Your suggestion is very good. The second brother is alone in Yunnan, and the children are still young. It is true that we should do it as soon as possible." Continuing, I will write a letter to my second brother when I turn back, to see if my second brother has someone he likes."

Only then did Mrs. Shen show a smile. She had no sympathy for Erfang's children, but no matter how much sympathy she had, once she thought that Erfang wanted to get rid of herself, she would not be willing to let Erfang come back.

Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen planned very well. Second Mrs. Shen passed away, and Second Master Shen only needs to stay for one year to continue the string.During this period of time, Mrs. Shen helped to visit the family in the capital, and after discussing it with Master Shen Er, the matter was over.

In August, Shen Mingrui finally returned to Beijing.Mr. Shen San picked him up at the gate of the city early in the morning. Because the weather was relatively hot, ice cubes had to be placed outside the coffin, so the team was huge, and there had to be two cars behind to prepare ice cubes.

Shen Mingrui obviously lost a lot of weight, and his eyes turned red when he saw Third Master Shen.As soon as his body softened, he wanted to fall to the ground, Third Master Shen hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and with red eyes, he stretched out his hand and patted Shen Mingrui's back vigorously: "It's good that I'm back, it's good that I'm back."

"Third Uncle, I..." Shen Mingrui choked up before he could finish his sentence, and Third Master Shen reached out to wipe his tears: "Don't cry, you have grown up, it's time to take responsibility, come on, let's Go back first, your mother's affairs can't be delayed, your uncle has already found someone to calculate the auspicious time, so let's bury her first today, so as not to..."

Shen Mingrui nodded: "Yes, nephew understands, Third Uncle, let's go there now." Even if there were ice cubes around the coffin, but the journey was far away, the stench could be smelled now.

A group of people didn't even return to the Hou Mansion, and were sent directly to the Shen family's cemetery.Lord Shen, Mrs. Shen, Shen Yunrou and others, and even some people from the side branches, are already waiting at the cemetery.The funeral has already been done in Yunnan, and now in the capital, only the burial is needed, and there is no need to set up a coffin for the funeral.Shen Mingrui was dressed in filial piety clothes and never changed them all the way. He wanted to come over to pay respects one by one, but Lord Shen stopped him for a while, and only let him throw pots and soil, put in a little effort, and watched the second lady Shen's burial before seeing the second lady Shen. When it was dark, he passed out directly.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in his previous room.The furnishings in the house are all the same as before.Shen Mingrui stared at it for a long time before he called out, and the servant girl outside the door hurried in: "Servant Cuiqiao, because the servant girl who served the young master before has been released, Madam sent another servant to serve the young master. "

Shen Mingrui nodded, didn't say much, changed clothes slowly and got up, and had breakfast again, not long after, a servant came from the front yard: "Master Hou, please come over."
