"Uncle, aunt." Shen Jiuniang smiled faintly and said slowly, "With such a miserable life, what will happen to him in the future? Just take it one day at a time."
"What nonsense are you talking about at such a young age?" Mrs. Feng heard this and said angrily, "They are old enough to be thinking about their confinement in ten or eight years, let alone me?"
Sheng Lanci also said kindly: "My child has been wronged all these years! I used to blame them for being helpless as elders, which made me homeless. Now that Ru Ming is back, why should we not let me make the decision? What? Let me know if you have any ideas! Although our family cannot be said to have the power to control everything, it is somewhat decent, but it is not comparable to that of an ordinary family!"
Does that sound like encouraging Shen Jiuniang, but is it actually a tactful reminder to her that her family is not from an ordinary family, so she should keep her mouth shut and act carefully, and don't do anything that would disgrace her family. .
When Shen Jiuniang heard this, her eyes flashed, and she said: "Did he think before? Just stay anonymous in Xiazhou for the rest of his life. Firstly, he would avoid each other being sad after meeting; secondly, he would not care about those things. He has fallen into prostitution for many years, and after word spread, it was not good for his family. Just listen to what Bidong said, Da Qiao has been thinking about him all these years, and his uncle and aunt also spent a lot of effort on him after what happened that year . If he is really not alive anymore, it would be fine if he made you feel so sorry. But since he is still alive and knows your concerns, it would be too unjust for him to remain silent and faceless. It’s unfilial.”
"So I thought, come over to meet and wish you all peace. See how well Wei Nao is doing to you, and let you know how well he is doing. From now on... When he came from Ruru, he I also brought some valuables with me, and went back to find a clean place, buy some property, and just live like that? I’ve been through it all in the grasslands before, so what’s going to be difficult in the future?”
After hearing what she said, Feng and Sheng Lanci exchanged glances with each other, trying to figure out whether her words were sincere and whether there was any hidden meaning.
"Good boy, they can understand my mood at that time." After the couple thought for a while, Feng said, "Why should I say depressing words if I am still young? And I am a lonely woman. , I go alone to a place I am not familiar with to buy a property for my confinement, why don't I ask for someone to covet me? It's better to be in Chang'an, where we can take care of each other, and it's convenient to meet each other when we miss you."
"Auntie, if you say you are so sincere, he won't hide it from you." When Shen Jiuniang heard this, she burst into tears and said with tears in her eyes, "You said he looks like that, how can he have the dignity to live in this world?" As early as when Ruru woke up, he couldn't hold on any longer. Fu Bidong showed him the porcelain hairpin collected by Da Qiao, saying that Da Qiao had traveled all over the country in those years, and at many critical junctures, priceless treasures had been lost. Abandoned like worn out shoes, I only carry that worthless porcelain hairpin with me wherever I go!"
"He has no siblings, so he treats Da Qiao as his biological sister."
"We haven't seen each other for so many years. I think she was still a half-grown child back then."
"I originally thought that children can be very forgetful, and she has no shortage of playmates."
"After such a long time, you have probably forgotten about him?"
"Who knew...she would be so affectionate towards him!"
"For her feelings."
"I beg you not to see her again in this life, he won't be willing to do it no matter what!"
"If Ru Ming's wish is fulfilled, all he wants to do is how to leave in a way that Da Qiao won't be suspicious!"
She breathed out and said with some excitement, "He knows that his uncle and his aunt will ask him tomorrow about his future plans! But please rest assured, he is not a self-aware person! Back then, he knew When Qing Honghong was young, Prince Xu couldn't even look down on him, let alone whether he was already in ruins at that time?"
"The reason why Prince Xu and his wife pay so much attention to him is because they want to draw Da Qiao's attention away and let her know that he has no intention of committing suicide!"
"Am I really confused?" Sheng Lanci and his wife said after hearing this, "After enduring such a painful confinement, can you finally see the moonlight when the clouds clear? Why do you just give up?"
He added, "They will have a heart-to-heart talk with me tomorrow, and they are indeed related to the Xu family's children. I don't mean anything else, but the Xu family's children are already married, and their parents are elders. I have not been in contact with them, so maybe I don't know. What I don’t like the most is the Yingying Yanyan in the backyard. The family tradition is that it has been passed down to three generations alone, and they have only one married wife. In particular, there are some reasons why Ying Jiang married a child of the Xu family, which is not easy to spread. The extramarital affairs made the Xu family feel that they could not afford to fault the child. Ever since Ying Jiang entered the Xu family, whenever the young couple had any disputes, the Xu family would always beat Xu Baomo as a gang. Comfort Ying Jiang. Ying Jiang’s father can’t even try to soften his son-in-law’s cheeks!”
"In that case, even if they help me, it will be in vain. Instead, it will ruin my reputation even more!"
"Auntie, let me tell you the truth: Marriage is not sweet if it is forced."
"The question is, there may not be a melon in the melon field. The melon that is not sweet is the east one. I am young and good-looking. At first, we didn't know that I was missing, and secondly, we were beyond our reach. Ru Ming is right in front of us, we There is no reason not to help me!"
Mrs. Feng said this in one breath, took a sip of tea, and said softly, "So I don't want to say anything that I can't think of anymore. We can't be that confused. When a good child comes back, we don't know how to cherish it." ! Just ask me to live a good life. As elders, they will definitely spare no effort! After all, at their age, apart from hoping that the younger generations will live a good life, what other thoughts do they have? "
What she said was not true. After all, Sheng Lanci and his wife had a son and a daughter. Sheng Weiyuan was very young and had a naughty temperament. He had been trained by Xu Lianshan not long after he came to Chang'an, but he has not returned to the couple until now.
If they come and go, it will be Shengwei Qiao's mother and son.
Shen Jiuniang has always believed that Sheng Weiqiao has a problem. For parents who are twenty-four filial piety, sharing worries for their daughter is a matter of course.
What's more, it's okay for the couple to have the wrong impression of Shen Jiuniang's niece. They just hope that the younger generation doesn't resent Sheng Weiqiao because of what happened in the past, or do anything unfavorable to Sheng Weiqiao. They are very happy to find a good future for Shen Jiuniang.
It doesn't matter if you contribute money or effort.
The three uncles and nephews had a heart-to-heart talk that day. Sheng Lanci and his wife believed that Shen Jiuniang would not intervene between Xu Baomo and Gongsun Yingjiang, but the niece had just returned from Ruru and had just given birth. However, the confinement period was not going well, I was exhausted physically and mentally, and I really had no intention of finding another husband right now.
Although women's youth was precious at that time, especially Shen Jiuniang, who had been living in Ruru for many years and suffered a lot of hardships in the bitter cold of the grassland. To be honest, compared to the noble lady of the same age, Qiu Qiu looked to be at least three or five years old. of.
Even if the relationship with Sheng Weiqiao increases its weight, it will be really difficult to find a good one if it is delayed any longer.
However, Shen Jiuniang's current state of mind is very unadjusted. Even if she is forced to marry immediately, she will not be able to live well.
The couple can then comfort themselves, wondering if they will be lucky if they survive the catastrophe... Maybe Shen Jiuniang's happiness will come to an end soon
After the original conversation was tactfully conveyed to Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Weiqiao breathed a sigh of relief and received a reply from Rong Suihe about whether Mrs. Qin was the culprit of the tragedy in the Gaomi Palace: Mrs. Qin had committed a heinous crime and should have been sentenced to death. , but the empress dowager Zhao, who was thinking of her new friend, pardoned her death penalty, cut off her imperial edict, and demoted her to a commoner.
He has two sons and one daughter. As Rong Suihe's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Zhao is no longer alive, so of course she will not be affected again.
But the two sons, Zhao Shi and Zhao Qiu, were inevitably implicated: after Zhao Shi left the Northern Xinjiang Army and entered the court, because of his sensible knowledge and the support of Suihe who had earlier misunderstood him, he could not directly enter the court. The Yushitai serves as the Yushi doctor, responsible for supervising all officials.
Before the mission, Meng Jiayan, a descendant of the Meng family, was involved. After the Chang'an Incident, all members of the Meng family except the fourth family were killed or injured.
As one of the more outstanding children among the Meng family's grandchildren, Meng Jiayan received special attention. He was the first target to be killed after the Hobori attack in Wu Anbofu was broken.
After his death, it was no wonder that the Tai Zaihuang of King Gaomi immediately appointed his own person to take up that position.
But later, Meng Guiyu recaptured Chang'an, and Lian Tai became the rebel king in the imperial capital, let alone others. The position of imperial censor once again fell into the lap of Meng.
Then Zhao Shi, with the support of Rong Suihe, squeezed out Meng Guiyu's people and took charge of the Yushitai.
To be honest, did Rong Suihe really want Zhao Shi to do that job before
Because the power of supervising hundreds of officials is great, and the country has an unwritten rule, it is the only way for the prime minister to go through, and it is the Hanlin Academy and the Yushitai.
Although Zhao Shi was not good at leading troops in battles, he was born in a hairpin for generations and had been exposed to it since childhood. He was good at handling government affairs, especially walking around the court to balance. Otherwise, it would not be wrong to know the basics of marching and formation, but under the pressure of Meng and Meng Boqin, he served as General Huaihua in northern Xinjiang for decades.
His relative relationship with Rong Suihe and his earlier mistaken investment in Rong Suihe also determined that after discovering the illegal behavior of officials, he would not be too restrained to deal with it or report it.
Based on the uncle's ability, merit, qualifications, and family connections, Rong Shuihe would have wanted to select him as the future prime minister.
But who asked Mrs. Qin to seek death
Zhao Shi was demoted to eighteen levels in a row and was directly demoted to serve as a county magistrate in another place. Considering his age, if nothing unexpected happened, he would probably be like that in his life. Zhao Qiu wanted to be miserable because Zhao Shi had clearly given the order. Suihe once stood in line, and when he was in Northern Xinjiang, he personally entertained Rong Suihe and his wife. Among the two uncles, Rong Suihe was the more affectionate towards the older uncle, so he was given an official position.
In contrast, my uncle Zhao Qiu, who had not had much contact with him, was demoted to the bottom and was demoted to a commoner like Mrs. Qin.
In fact, Bu Nao was not very unjust to Zhao Qiu. After all, when Mrs. Qin deliberately let Rong Suihe be raped, Zhao Shiren was in Northern Xinjiang. He didn't know that what his mother did was excusable. Can Zhao Qiu just do it? In Chang'an, in front of the old lady. He said that he didn't know that it was impossible at all, and it was even impossible for him to execute it.
"Given the kind of person your Majesty is, it is very merciful that he was demoted and not sentenced to death that time." After receiving the imperial edict that followed the letter from his family, Zhao Shi knelt down and kowtowed nine times to express his gratitude. The family members said, "We should know in our minds what to say and do when receiving Donglai! Don't you want to do anything to bring disaster to the Zhao family again, Minghong?!"
