There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

Shi Zhongzhu continued to attack the saint with guilty eyes, because in the hall other than him, there were maids in the palace, and he didn't immediately kneel down with a plop, but his voice was hoarse and his words were choked with sobs: "I'm sorry for the saint..."

"Where are you sorry for me? Do you regret pleading with Wei Yan?"

"No, I... I shouldn't have written a letter at the court meeting. I'll think about it when I go back. If I ask the saint in private, the saint will agree. Why bother to say it at the court meeting? Isn't this using courtiers and scholars to persecute the saint? "

The sage would not tell him whether he would agree to his private begging, but only asked: "Then why did you go to the court meeting again?"

"I'm just, I'm just scared, I don't want to be meticulous." Shi Zhongzhu walked up to the saint, knelt down beside the saint, and pulled the saint's sleeve: "Saint, do you still remember that when I was treating the epidemic in Guangyuan, I encountered Is Miss Ji here?"

"A daughter of a seventh-rank official, thank you for not forgetting me!" Speaking of this, the sage certainly knew about it. The father-in-law who passed the decree stayed in the local area for a long time, but he didn't go to visit the mountains and rivers.In fact, the saint is also very strange. A woman who is not stunning, and her family background is not outstanding, is not worthy of Shi Zhongzhu's concern.

"Miss Ji is very good, but I am not suitable for her. She is right, Qi Dafei..."

"Stupid thing, you are a woman in the mountains can tell, it's that woman who doesn't know what is good or bad!" The saint was angry, obviously still angry with Shi Zhongzhu just now, seeing that he is willing to tell the truth to himself, willing to tell the little boy's troubles When I was alone, I couldn't help complaining about him. How could a sage look down on a talented man who was favored by himself.

"If life is just a first meeting, what is the autumn wind and sad painting fan? Waiting for leisure to change but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. Saint, I would rather leave immediately, so that Miss Ji will still be independent, kind, anxious, and righteous in my heart. Good girl. Now..., it's not her fault, it's just me..."

"What are you, heroes are short of breath, children love each other, that's what your father taught you!" The saint hated iron for being weak.

"It's just that I really can't bear this kind of thing anymore. My parents have already appointed Miss Wei for me. If something happens to her family..." Shi Zhongzhu's voice was choked up, and his words were incoherent. The relationship between my father and mother is good, and I am also determined to be a couple for the rest of my life, saint, I really can't bear it, Miss Wei..."

Shi Zhongzhu spoke intermittently, and finally he just fell on the saint's lap and began to cry. Shi Zhongzhu cried, not crying loudly, but his body trembling slightly. The saint soon felt that his pants were wet. Cry out to let the saint take pity on you.

The sage sighed, and said in his heart: "Forget it, a child, what do you care about with him?" The sage's right hand was lightly afraid of Shi Zhongzhu's back. To the sound of him crying so hard that he couldn't get up.

Shi Zhongzhu believed in touching people with emotion, and everything he said was the truth. With the experience of a sage, he would definitely not be able to deceive people by lying.The saint is not the "noble person" in the novel. Every "noble person" that the protagonist meets is indiscriminately a fan of the protagonist. He appears when he needs to support the protagonist and slaps others in the face, and then disappears naturally.How stupid it is to use the supreme head of state who has held the world for more than 40 years as an npc.

Therefore, Shi Zhongzhu always showed his truest side in front of strangers, and he never lied. He knew that there were only two things that saints valued in him: one was young and the other was honesty.

Shi Zhongzhu felt a lot of pressure when he took the risk to write a letter, and he let it out after crying on the saint's lap.

Shi Zhongzhu raised his head, his eyes were red, some fine hair on his forehead was stained with tears, sticking to his face, making him look pitiful.Shi Zhongzhu blushed, very embarrassed, why he started crying on the saint's lap.

Seeing Shi Zhongzhu's red face, the sage smiled and asked: "Now I know I'm shy, why didn't I know when I was crying just now, I'm already an official~"

Shi Zhongzhu's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he didn't dare to lift his head. The saint stopped teasing him and told him to go down to wash and tidy up.

Shi Zhongzhu walked quickly to the side hall, buried his head in the water basin, he knew that this test was passed.Yes, Shi Zhongzhu is such a fine-grained person. Under the circumstances at that time, he could impress others with the most sincere emotions, and when he came back to his senses, he would analyze his performance in private with the most rational thinking.There is no way, in order to live, to live better.

After this time, the sage must have believed that the Shijia family respected his first wife and had a good family atmosphere. The sage was destined not to have such a warm family atmosphere, but it did not prevent him from maintaining this kind of beauty that he did not have.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye, and Shi Zhongzhu was already 17 years old. In the past two years, only two major events happened to Shi Zhongzhu.One is that the sixth prince was established as the crown prince. Now that a large number of the saint's sons have died, the sixth prince is the most suitable one among the remaining people.The sage originally wanted to elevate the title of the fourth prince, Lord Rong, to check and balance the prince, but it happened that the news that the abolished prince committed suicide came, and Shi Zhongzhu tactfully persuaded him, so the sage dismissed this idea.For this reason, the former sixth prince and the current prince have a higher degree of affection for Shi Zhongzhu and the historian.

Another thing is that Shi Zhongzhu is about to get married. When Shi Bosong got married, Shi Zhongzhu is now 17 years old. It's about time.After Wei Yan's case, the Wei family became civilians. Although they didn't move out of Dongshi, they were much down and down.Wei Shishi originally wanted the two to get married earlier, but Shi Zhongzhu held off on the grounds that his parents were not around, and Shi Bosong exercised power on behalf of his parents in the name of his elder brother when the two of them walked for six ceremonies. Time to marry a wife.What's more, he is the same age as Wei Zhenniang, and his body is not yet fully developed. It is too dangerous to have children. After marrying and not having children, Wei Zhenniang will be under even greater pressure.Since he said he should love his wife, Shi Zhongzhu would not let her be wronged.

To this day, Shi Ding has served as a foreigner for five years, and today is the day to arrive in the capital.Shi Zhongzhu has been promoted repeatedly in the past two years, from Qipin Zhongshusheren to Zhengqipin Dushi, and then to sixth rank Yuanwailang, Shi Zhongzhu has been doing odd jobs in the cabinet, and has not been assigned to the Imperial Academy and the Sixth Ministry, and the saint is getting older , love him more and more.Old boy, old boy, the sage likes him to be by his side. Once Shi Zhongzhu took a shift for three days, which was normal, but the next day, the sage sent someone to call him back from Zhuangzi, saying yes , without which he is not used.Shi Zhongzhu can't laugh or cry, now, Shi Zhongzhu is already a little red man who is so popular.

Today, when Shi Ding and his wife returned to Beijing, Shi Zhongzhu deliberately asked for a day off, and together with Shi Bosong, came to pick up people at the pier.It was already afternoon when the big ship with the Bowling flag docked.The Jiangfeng fluttered, blowing Shi Ding's cloak straight back. Seeing the long-lost familiar face, the brothers Shi Bosong and Shi Zhongzhu couldn't be more excited.

The two brothers boarded the boat quickly, first greeted Shi Ding, and then went to the cabin to meet Zheng Shi.

"Finally let me see you two brothers. You have lost weight. If you don't see me, you must not eat well." With tears in her eyes, Zheng carefully touched her two sons, who hadn't seen each other for five years. , Missing has already flooded into a river.

"It's good for father and mother to return to Beijing. My son misses the elders all the time in Beijing, so it's good to come back." Shi Bosong has a good temper and is not good at expressing. Being able to say the word miss is already a great improvement.

"Mother, why am I thinner? Beijing Zhongjin is popular with such a figure, a ethereal immortal, and inquiring like a gentleman." Shi Zhongzhu has always been doing the work of enlivening the atmosphere.

"Take your mother's skin, I've lived in Beijing for so many years, why don't I know!" Zheng scolded with a smile.

"Why don't you say that a child without a mother is a follower? Look, younger brothers and sisters follow you, and they are white and fat. I was skinny and skinny in Beijing. Mom~ you have to make up for me." Shi Zhongzhu Acting like a baby.

"When did you lose weight, why didn't I see it." Zheng said pretending to be surprised.

"Mother, isn't that what you just said?"

Zheng said innocently: "When did I say that?"

Shi Zhongzhu looked at Shi Bosong, Shi Bosong turned his head to the river, ah, the river is so beautiful today!Shi Zhongzhu looked at his father again, and he was drinking tea with his head bowed. The worst thing was Shi Jilan. Although he hadn't seen this little guy for five years, he was not unfamiliar at all. Already!"

Shi Zhongzhu picked up Shi Jilan and said, "Aren't you two ganging up to bully me? Let's see how I deal with you." After finishing speaking, he took her hand and turned around. Heart, Shi Jilan's feet lifted off the ground, as if flying.

Shi Jilan was not afraid at all, he laughed loudly with a crisp voice.Envious Shi Shumei yelled, "Second Brother, Second Brother, I want it too, I want to transfer too."

Shi Zhongzhu took the time to reply, "I won't turn you around. There are three boys in our family, but the younger sister is a girl. She is more precious than you. If you don't believe me, just ask your mother!"

Shi Shumei immediately looked at Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng didn't refute immediately, the little guy was already tearing up.Shi Bosong hurriedly came out to save the scene and said, "Brother, I will turn to you, and I will hug you." Only then did Shi Shumei turn from crying to laughing.

Mrs. Zheng scolded with a smile, "Well, you Shi Yaoyun, I'm counting on your old lady, so I won't beat you." He took a handkerchief as a weapon and was about to beat him.

Shi Zhongzhu acted frightened, holding Shi Jilan in his arms and was about to hide outside the cabin. Shi Jilan thought that Mrs. Zheng was really going to beat her second brother, so she yelled for mercy: "Mother, don't beat your second brother, it's my fault, mother, please hit me." Said, accompanied by a weeping expression, which made the big guy laugh out loud.

When everyone was laughing, the servants came to report that the salute had been packed, and asked the masters to move.The family packed up, boarded the carriage of the Marquis Mansion and went back.

The carriage drove directly into the inner courtyard. Mrs. Xu was already waiting at the second gate with Shi Sixian, Shi Siqi and the concubine's elder sister. Now Mrs. Xu has a big belly and several children are young, so she didn't go to the pier to pick up people.Seeing Shi Ding and his wife getting out of the car, Mrs. Xu wanted to salute.

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly asked the girl to help her, and said angrily: "We are all a family, so you don't need to be too polite. You are pregnant now, so you should be more careful."

"My mother-in-law is considerate of me, so I will take it." Mrs. Xu did not insist on saluting, but only introduced her two sons and one daughter to Mrs. Shi Ding and Mrs. Zheng. Shi Sixian hugged him in his arms, so rare.Seeing this, Shi Zhongzhu was afraid that Shi Siqi would feel awkward, so he also stepped forward to hug him, because he knew that Shi Bosong would never be a loving father.

Shi Ding and Zheng Shi took the lead, Shi Shumei and Shi Jilan followed closely behind their parents, Shi Bosong and Xu walked in the middle with their concubine daughter, Shi Zhongzhu stayed behind to tease Brother Qi.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Xu arranged for someone to bring up the futons. First, Shi Bosong's generation kowtowed to Shi Ding and his wife, and then Shi Sixian's generation kowtowed.The younger generation kowtowed to say goodbye, and the servants came to report the arrival of Mrs. Zhong Jinghou.

The third aunt was not an outsider either, and after a moment's notice from the servants, the third aunt came over with a few children. "Uncle, sister-in-law, you are back." The third aunt Li said tears were about to fall.

Mrs. Zheng and her sister-in-law hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and they were thinking too hard. They hugged each other and cried. After they had cried for a while, Mrs. Xu persuaded, "Mother-in-law and third aunt should be happy. Now that they are back, they can’t hurt themselves by crying." .”

The two stopped their tears, and Li Shi explained to Shi Ding: "My master is on duty today, and I can't take leave of absence. He asked me to make amends to my uncle."

Shi Ding said: "My brother, don't pay attention to etiquette, the errands are important."

Mrs. Li asked her own children to greet Shi Ding and his wife again. Shi Zhongbai, Shi Xiaonan, Shi Xiangxue, and Shi Xiangxia all saluted together. Shi Ding laughed happily and sent greetings to several children.

Looking at the children all over the floor, Shi Ding was very comforted, thinking that the Shi family members withered back then, but now they are finally thriving.

In the evening, when Shi Nai came back from his duty, the family had a lively welcome feast together. Shi Nai arranged for Mrs. Li to take the children back first. up.

Shi Ding, Shi Nai, Shi Zhongbai, and Shi Zhongzhu gathered in the study.
