Mo Shujun's words of 'but' lifted everyone's hearts again.
Just listen to her saying slowly: "But Zhao'er is also a member of our Shi family. If he becomes such a small official at the beginning, he won't be laughed at."
Shi Junhe wanted to say, 'This is a kind of experience,' but he didn't speak.
Mo Shujun said forcefully: "Although being at the bottom is a kind of experience, the starting point can still determine some things.
When your father took you into the military camp, and although you served as a soldier for two years, he soon passed on you. Am I right? "
Shi Lei was promoted to Shi Junhe so quickly because of his preference for his son. Of course, the most important thing was that Shi Junhe did have this ability.
Shi Junhe couldn't explain these reasons and could only say: "We have to wait for Zhao'er to experience it for two years before we can judge. Furthermore, the emperor divided the six departments into six departments so that the officials should perform their respective duties, and it is not easy for the son to interfere with the affairs of the staff. "
Mo Shujun seemed to have expected that Shi Junhe would say this, and smiled and said: "I know your difficulties, so I don't insist that you go to the staff department, but... Shi Jiajun It’s always our family’s territory, right? When Chi’er joined the Shi Family Army, it wasn’t just a word from you.”
They went around and around and dragged Wen Renchi in, just to get Shi Junhe to stuff Shi Baozhao into the military camp.
After all... if the heir of the Shi family has never even entered a military camp, what a mess.
Shi Junhe looked at Mo Shujun, then at Wen Renchi who kept his head down and said nothing, and said helplessly: "Mother, Zhao'er has never been to the military camp. I'm worried..."
"There's nothing to worry about. Chi'er didn't know anything when he entered the military camp. If you take Zhao'er with you and teach him more, you'll understand everything." Mo Shujun waved his hand indifferently.
He talked about Wen Renchi both inside and outside his words, and raised his eyebrows, as if to say: If you don't agree, you are partial.
Shi Junhe was forced to have no choice but to sigh helplessly, "It's not that I don't want Zhao'er to have a good future, but the military camp is really not suitable for him. Please forgive me, mother."
Mo Shujun's expression dropped, "Why can Chi'er do it but not Zhaoer? Isn't Zhaoer your back? He's still a member of the Shi family... "
Wen Renchi stiffened even after his identity and bloodline were brought out, but he still suppressed his emotions and said nothing.
For a while, the scene was somewhat stalemate.
Shi Qingxue said crisply: "Of course my father is not partial in doing this!"
These words made Mo Shujun's hidden meaning explicit. Mo Shujun simply didn't hide it and said coldly: "What is it if it's not partiality? Is Zhao'er inferior to Chi'er?"
Shi Qingxue responded naturally: "Of course it's not partiality. When the eldest brother entered the army camp, he was already able to show off his beautiful marksmanship. It was his grandfather who taught him step by step. That's why his father and grandfather agreed to let him enter the army camp. As for the second brother's childhood, If you want to study literature, it is reasonable to arrange a civil service for your second brother."
Shi Junhe's eyes lit up, "It's exactly what Qingxue said. It's not that I don't want Zhao'er to go to the military camp. It's true that he is not suitable and cannot bear this suffering."
"I heard that the recruits of the Shi family army have to train for seven or eight hours every day from morning to night, rain or shine, and if they don't keep up with a training session, they have to make up for it even if they are hungry. Is that true? Big brother?"
Qingxue pretended to look at Wen Renchi curiously. Although the latter didn't want to pay attention to the quarrels of Shi's family, he couldn't bear to let Shi Qingxue's question go to waste - especially for his own good - so he could only answer truthfully: "Yes, I just said When I entered the Shi Family Army, I was hungry for a whole day because of a mistake. In the Shi Family Army, you must continue training as long as you are alive. Only such high-intensity training can ensure that the Shi Family Army will remain invincible."
Mo Shujun was so angry with their harmonious conversation that she was speechless. Especially when Shi Qingxue made fun of Shi Lei again, it was even more impossible for her to deny her husband's actions and she could only remain silent.
But she was unwilling to accept that someone else's son was a high-ranking official and well-paid, while her own grandson had to be a humble official.
"That's what I said, but the Shi family army was trained by your father, and in the end, someone will always be responsible for it. No one from the younger generation of the Shi family has entered the military camp yet. You can't take away the achievements your father brought out. Are you giving it away for free?"
The person who was 'given away' was not clearly stated, but everyone present knew who he was talking about.
Wen Renchi has known since he was a child that he is just an outsider in this family - no matter how good the people in the big house are to him, Qingxue's words of 'big brother' have sweetened his heart - and since he has never had a surname, even more...
His hands hidden under the table clenched into fists. He restrained himself for a while before speaking calmly: "Father, there are still things to do in the army, so my son will go back first."
"Eh… "
Just as Shi Junhe opened his mouth, Wen Renchi had already stood up and walked out.
Shi Baoning, who had been silent for a long time, looked embarrassed. He looked at Mo Shujun, then at Shi Junhe, and finally stood up and went out under Shi Junhe's silent gaze.
When Mo Shujun saw it, she became even more angry and said angrily: "Sure enough, the married daughter threw water. This daughter started to cheat on outsiders even before she was married. Mrs. Dong, you have raised such a good daughter! "
Dong Hui, who was lying on the gun for no apparent reason: "..."
She didn't say a single unnecessary word throughout the night, but in the end, she was mercilessly criticized by Mo Shujun in front of everyone, and her face was completely lost.
It was only because she could bear it that she didn't say a word.
Shi Qingxue couldn't bear it, the smile on her face disappeared, and her tone of voice couldn't help but be a bit mean: "I heard from grandpa that when he and the late emperor had a military dispute, it was grandma who supported him so much that grandpa finally He won a great victory on the battlefield, which he remembered for a long time, and he even told us juniors several times!"
Everyone in the family knew this story. Shi Lei had indeed told it many times, and even Mo Shujun had told it several times. The original intention was to show the deep love between them as husband and wife, but when it was said here, the taste completely changed.
Mo Shujun's face was so colorful, but Qingxue seemed to be telling a story, not even talking to her. If she retorted, it would be self-defeating, which is not aggrieved.
The eldest princess has been used to being respected by others for many years. Even if she ignores her, she will not admit her mistake, let alone swallow her anger.
She glared at Shi Qingxue - indifferent, and then glared at Shi Junhe, who also lowered his head and did not respond.
This time the old lady was furious, "Okay, okay, I'm annoying people now, I can't leave!"
After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and returned to Shou'an Hall.
Seeing this, Zhou Ruyu quickly took her two daughters to comfort her, and the people in the second room also hurriedly ran to hug her thighs.
All of a sudden, all the people in the hall left.
"Brother is really capable of making his mother so angry!" Shi Juncai watched the whole show and laughed heartlessly. He didn't care about his son's future, nor was he afraid that his mother would be so angry that she would break her body.
Shi Junhe said nothing and stared at Shi Juncai with a sullen face, "I heard that someone came to collect debts a few days ago and almost demolished the Shi family's accounting room. What's going on?"
Shi Juncai looked resentful, but he didn't dare not answer Shi Junhe's words, "It's nothing. It's just that there's nothing wrong with being an official, but this month's salary hasn't been paid yet, so I owe points."
"How can you owe tens of thousands of taels for entertainment? The visitor heard that you are still a boy from Yixianglou. They also said that you have secured the top spot there. Is this also entertainment?"
If it were normal, Shi Junhe would not reprimand him so shamelessly, but Shi Juncai became more and more outrageous. If he continued to indulge, he might cause some trouble.
"As you know, there are some high-ranking officials who just like them. They want to keep me company. I have something to ask of them, so I have to agree!" Shi Juncai said confidently.
However, Shi Junhe would not be used to it and snorted coldly: "Officials should be honest, honest, and law-abiding. Occasionally entertaining guests and giving gifts, socializing and socializing are already against the law. How dare you invite them to a place like a brothel?"
Shi Juncai was very disdainful of this old-fashioned truth, but on the surface he didn't dare to offend him, only Nuonuo should. Anyway, the account was settled, so what happened next would be the same.
"You..." Shi Junhe couldn't do anything about the attitude of the other party, who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He could only sigh and waved to let people leave.
A family dinner ended unhappy like this.
As soon as Wen Renchi walked out of the gate of Shi's house, Shi Baoning hurriedly caught up from behind, "Brother Chi, wait for me, wait for me."
Wen Renchi pretended not to hear and rode away directly.
By the time Shi Baoning chased him to the door, he had completely disappeared.
In the next few days, Wen Renchi, who originally got up on time every day to take care of his family in the morning and dusk, did not come again. He only sent a letter on the first day with the excuse of being 'busy with business'.
Even if Dong Hui didn't know that Wen Renchi was unhappy, she still knew that these words hurt her son's heart. Seeing Shi Baoning depressed all day long, she had no choice but to comfort her in a low voice: "How about you go to Wen Ren Chi's house?" See? You are now an unmarried couple and considered brother and sister, no one will say anything."
Shi Baoning's eyes turned red and he said aggrievedly: "Brother Chi must have heard me calling him that day, but he still left without looking back. If I show up to him again, wouldn't he be looking down on me?"
Shi Qingxue said curiously: "It was my grandmother who hurt my elder brother's heart by talking nonsense that day. It is natural for you to comfort him. How can you belittle this? If my man is wronged, even if I can't do it for him If you want justice, then you should at least stay with him and give him comfort!"
"But..." Shi Baoning also knew this was true, but she had been reserved all her life, and it was not easy for her to let go of her stature to please him.
"Okay, if you don't want to go, I'll go." Shi Qingxue had long wanted to find Wen Renchi, but she couldn't leave before, so this was a good time.
But Shi Junhe scolded him with a cold face: "What are you going to do? You are not allowed to go?"
Qingxue blinked in confusion: "Why? I have something to tell my elder brother!"
