Shen Zangfeng carefully read his eldest son's homework, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Guang'er has been quite attentive these days."
The rice paper he casually placed on the table had neat handwriting and a clean surface. Although the handwriting was still very childish, every word was slightly visible through the back of the paper, which showed the hard work. For a six-year-old child, it is enough to deserve a compliment.
"He is so caring." Wei Changying, who was sitting side by side with him across the red sandalwood table with a slightly fiery edge, sighed softly, "Now unless I call him, there will be no end. "It is a good thing for a son to be motivated, but for a six-year-old child, it is more reassuring for parents to be a little naughty and playful."
Shen Zangfeng raised his hand and touched Shen Shuguang's head next to him, and said gently: "Haste makes waste. You are still young now, so you should focus on your homework. Don't be too anxious. When you have time, please spend more time with me. Your mother and brother."
"My child, I obey." Shen Shuguang responded politely.
Seeing him like this, the two parents shook their heads slightly, knowing that the child had not yet recovered from the tragedy of the Shen family... But then again, not to mention that Shen Shuguang was still just a child, it was just the two of them. If the remaining people were not burdened with all the big and small things on their shoulders, they would not be allowed to have a moment of weakness, and they would probably still be unable to recover.
Not to mention that Shen Shuguang is only six years old
Taking a step back and thinking about it, it is better for this child to immerse himself in studying now than to be timid or give up on himself.
However, Wei Changying brought Shen Shuguang to the city today not just to ask her husband to help persuade the eldest son.
Shen Zangfeng knew what he was doing, and encouraged his eldest son a few words before finding an excuse to send him away: "Your sixth uncle missed you a lot two days ago. Go and see him."
"Yes." Shen Shuguang nodded with an indifferent expression, and retreated obediently to find Shen Liankun.
Shen Zangfeng watched his eldest son go out. He estimated that he had already walked away a few steps. He also waved away the servants waiting on his left and right, and then whispered to his wife: "Guang'er is still so angry that it is difficult to explain. Even if we persuade him to work hard, I'm afraid he may not be willing to listen. Now is the time for him to grow up... You can privately ask a reliable servant to add some meat to his diet, so as not to lose his vitality! That’s what my father and mother would have said.”
He added, "Even the second brother and the sixth brother will definitely not object." Shen Zangfeng knew very well: his second brother had lost his only son, and the sixth brother had no son yet, and now he was spending his remaining The three nephews were more important than their own lives. If they hadn't thought of it, they would have come to him and suggested this.
Chief Wei nodded: "I'll let Aunt Huang and Aunt He take care of it later." In fact, Chief Wei had already asked the Huang family to start a small business in private - not only juniors like Shen Shuguang, but also Huo who was not in good health. In Qingling, Wei Chief Ying also secretly ordered Huang and other confidants to secretly cook beef, sheep and other meats to extract the essence, which would be used to make vegetarian dishes for the period of mourning. There are only a few people left in the Shen family, so they don't have to take care of them. If after three years of filial piety, a few of them fall down, even if they leave some root causes of disease, it will only make matters worse.
Especially Shen Shuxie, it was as if she had saved her life. Her vitality was damaged and her body was weak. Ji Qubing himself said that he would be nursed back to health at least until the age of his hair. How could Wei Changying let him continue to eat green vegetables and tofu with clear soup and little water? What kind of care is this!
However, since the deceased were all senior members of the Shen family, and now that Shen Zangfeng has said this again, Wei Changying will naturally not tell her husband that in fact, she has already executed the execution before the execution...
After talking a few words about the situation of everyone in the other courtyard, Shen Zangfeng especially asked about Shen Lianshi's physical condition and learned that he was already able to walk, but because he was uncontrollably sad, he ran to express his anger at his daughter, but was beaten back by Ji Chunmian, who could not bear to look at him. On the hospital bed, his brows furrowed slightly.
Wei Changying hurriedly defended Ji Chunmian: "Sister Ji happened to be present at that time, and she was in Jing'er's yard. Even the third cousin's niece, Miss Sun from the Duanmu family, was also there. Second brother, you also know that although at that time He can only move around, but he is an adult after all. He was so angry that he hit the children, and the consequences would be disastrous! Sister Ji is also very eager to protect Jing'er and Yan'er, and her hands are at a loss."
At this point, her expression darkened and she sighed, "Guang'er and Xie'er, if the second brother and the sixth brother had not risked their lives to protect them, I'm afraid... I would never be able to repay the kindness of the second brother and the sixth brother in this life! But in this matter, no matter how much I tell my second brother, I can’t help but say that Yan’er is really unjust.”
Shen Zangfeng's expression was calm, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. After a moment, he said: "No matter how bad my second brother is, we have family members to persuade him and stop him. How can we let outsiders do something to him?"
Even Wei Changying was scolded by these words. Wei Changying was silent for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"
"Consider Doctor Ji's face, and Madam Ji's kindness towards Yan'er and the others, let's forget it this time." Shen Zangfeng said calmly, "We can't allow another time."
Wei Changying bit his lower lip and said, "I understand."
"I'm not blaming you, I know it's not easy for you to support yourself these days." Seeing her frown, Shen Zangfeng slowed down his tone, stretched out his hand to cover the back of her hand on the table, and said softly, "But the people in our family , no matter how foolish you act, it should be our family’s responsibility to worry about it, and we must not allow outsiders to dictate, let alone deal with or punish you... This is the rule set by my father!"
These words made Wei Changying think of the days when he was first married. It seemed that his sister-in-law Shen Zangning had said something similar to him
She sighed: "I remember. When I go back, I will persuade Sister Ji and I will also pay attention to Second Brother."
... There is a reason why she spoke for Ji Chunmian: that day, Ji Chunmian ran over and confessed to her that he beat Shen Lianshi until the wound burst and had to lie back on the hospital bed again. Although Wei Changying didn't do anything to Ji Chunmian at the time, he After lunch, he immediately sent someone to visit Shen Lianshi to express his condolences - and also to see what Shen Lianshi meant.
According to reports from the people sent there, Shen Lianshi insisted not to punish Ji Chunmian.
The reason was not that he was so enlightened by Ji Chunmian and began to regret that he had angered his daughter; nor was it that he relied on his status and disdained to care about Ji Chunmian; it was that he was concerned that his nephew Shen Shuxie's recovery fell on Ji Qubing. , when Shen Lianshi was about to die, he still tried his best to save his nephew's life. How could he let his personal grudge offend Ji Qubing
Although Ji Qubing may not have the ability to defy the power of the Shen family, his medical skills have been said to be unparalleled in the country since he became famous, and no one can match him to this day. If he does something in private and says that he has tried his best, who can see through it except himself who knows it in his heart
Shen Lianshi was originally very patriarchal. After the death of his only concubine, when he broke out of the siege, his wife killed his son and his eldest daughter went crazy and went crazy. He did not forget to protect his nephew. Compared with his nephew's recovery, this current grievance was nothing to him.
So he lay back on the bed and continued to nurse, but he did not forget to repeatedly tell the people sent by his sister-in-law to express condolences, never to have conflicts with Ji Qubing over this trivial matter... All in order to stabilize the miracle doctor and do his best to cure his nephew. For the most important.
Well, Shen Lianshi didn't mention his niece Shen Shujing and his sister-in-law Huo Qingling who were also sick...
But now Shen Zangfeng is obviously very dissatisfied with Ji Chunmian's injury to Shen Lianshi. Wei Changying feels that telling him that Shen Lianshi also asked not to pursue the case seems like an argument. Both of them are very busy now, so there is no need to waste time on it. This kind of place.
After uncovering this piece, Wei Changying rubbed his forehead and said, "I heard that Shen Bao was reborn as Princess Qingxin, and I thought of Shen Xun."
After a pause, she whispered, "And... the late emperor."
Shen Zangfeng nodded slightly: "I have analyzed this matter before Eleven, and I have some clues. It's just that I haven't had time to leave here, and it's not easy to write down such a thing or let others tell it."
Although Shen Bo is a puppet known to both the government and the public, he still has the title of monarch and minister after all. For the sake of long-term considerations, nobles who are proud of their family status are unwilling to bear the reputation of regicide, even if Shen Bo cheats the nobles badly.
The most important thing is that because the eldest son of the emperor Shen Bo and the posthumous king of Han Shen Lang was left in the carriage, the flesh and blood stained by the wreckage of the carriage that had been trampled repeatedly was mixed with the snow and soil, making it impossible to tell how much was inside. personal. When they were at the city gate, several people heard Shen Bo scolding the King of Han with their own ears, so they all thought that Shen Bo and his son died in one place.
In this case, Gu Xinian and others are not fools, so of course they kept it a secret.
However, if you keep it secret but don't announce it, you still have to avenge it.
The nobles suffered such a big loss this time, not counting the Rong people. How could a puppet emperor repay the trap of the East Gate Breakout
If they hadn't had so many pressing matters that needed to be dealt with immediately after their reunion, the two of them would have considered this as the most important thing to pursue.
At this moment, Wei Changying couldn't help but perked up when he heard from his husband that he had something new to look forward to. He quickly asked, "How is it?"
"Previously, Ziyang and the others interrogated Shen Bo. What Shen Bo said was that he trusted Zhu Chengyi too much, so Zhu Chengyi told him in the twelfth lunar month that Xuanjia Guards had arrived a hundred miles away from the east gate, but because of the lack of equipment and insufficient numbers, The Rong people do not dare to rush to help the city easily, but they must plan for it slowly. "
Shen Zangfeng frowned slightly and said, "Shenbo planned to tell everyone the news immediately, but was persuaded by Zhu Chengyi to give up the idea. After that, the food and grass were burned, and the city discussed a breakout, but Shenbo didn't know that Xuanjiawei's response was a lie. , so he told the officials. After that, the emperor and his ministers came out of the east gate, but they were surrounded by soldiers, and there were countless casualties. "
Perhaps it was the thought that his father, uncle, brother and nephews, who had been rich and prosperous all their lives, ended up with nothing left of them. Shen Zangfeng paused for a moment before continuing, "But Shenbo himself was deceived by Zhu Chengyi into getting out of the car shortly before the east gate opened. He fell into the hands of Shen Xun's men, and after being tied up, he left the city through the north gate and arrived near Jiuxian County without any danger. However, he was chased by Zi Yang and others because of a naughty boy in a roadside wine shop. The private soldiers gathered there, but Mo Binwei happened to be passing by, so he was captured by Zi Yang and others. "
Wei Changying said: "That's what he said, but Ziyang and others said they may not believe it entirely. It's just that Shen Bo seemed to be stimulated by Zhu Chengyi's betrayal at the time, and he was a little crazy. Sometimes his words were confusing and unclear. "Because they were angry that Shen Bo had harmed his family members, people who knew what the royal brothers had done privately spoke of them by their first names without mentioning their titles.
"He may not be crazy to the point of confusion, I'm afraid he has other agendas." Shen Zangfeng said calmly, "That Zhu Chengyi, I have asked people among the surviving servants in the past few days. This person is indeed the mother of Shenbo back then. After Shen Bo took the throne, he became the chief chamberlain, and he was indeed quite trusted. Although the details are hard to find out now, even if Shen Bo is not very smart, he is not a fool... We haven't received any news about Xuanjiawei's response, how did Zhu Chengyi know?"
"Zi Yang has asked this question before. Shen Bo said that Zhu Chengyi caught the young eunuch who stole the palace's property. The eunuch was one of the informants of the deposed Gu family, and he revealed this information in order to survive." Ying pondered, "Actually, we don't quite believe this answer, because it is said that Shenbo told the ministers the same thing before - Xuanjiawei passed the news to the city through the Gu family, but the Gu family was angry at the death of the Gu family and Gu Xiaode, Deliberately concealing the news, Shen Bo sensed the clues. Since he had not planned to break out at the time, he thought of keeping quiet first, attracting many secret agents of the Gu family and annihilating them in one fell swoop before announcing the news. However, because the food and grass were burned, Ximen was in urgent need. After breaking through, he said so. But after asking him over and over again, he kept saying so. His body couldn’t endure any punishment... It didn’t take long..." (To be continued)
