Then there is no more

The old lady of the Shen family, that is, the grandmother of the young master, is a kind person, and she doesn't like to bother the juniors to pay her respects early in the morning.So it doesn't matter if the young master gets up late.However, although the old lady avoided everyone's greetings, the second lady would go to her place every day.

In this mansion, everyone knows that the old lady loves the second lady the most. She treats the second lady better than her own son, because the second lady is her own niece.The old lady's surname is Yang, and she is the stepmother.The second wife came from the same family as her, known as Xiao Yang.Xiao Yang is the daughter of Brother Yang.

The general first married his wife Ruan Shi.This is the grandma of the young master—if the young master is really from the Shen family—it's a pity that the Ruan family's concubine died of illness within two years after giving birth to her eldest son.It just so happened that there had been wars in the Northwest for several years, and the general never remarried.

Four years later, Vice General Yang died after blocking the sword of the general.Both of Vice General Yang's parents died, and there was only one wife, one daughter and one younger sister in his family.His wife quickly remarried after learning of his death.The daughter was Xiao Yang, who was less than one year old at the time.The younger sister is Yang Shi.The loyal Vice General Yang entrusted his family to the General with his last breath before he died. He didn't say it too bluntly, but he did reveal that he wanted his sister to be the General's successor.

This is a life-saving grace, and the general naturally agreed.

And because there is no one in the Yang family, when Yang got married, she brought Xiao Yang to the Shen family.The general said at the time that he would definitely regard Xiao Yang as his own daughter.As a matter of fact, the general has indeed done it, and Xiao Yang's food and clothing in the Shen family has always been in accordance with the regulations of Miss Di.

In the general's vision, when Xiao Yang reaches the age of marriage, the general's mansion will definitely find a good marriage for her, so that Xiao Yang can marry in a prosperous manner.But Yang's mind gradually had other thoughts.She gave birth to a son more than a year after she married the general.Yang is an honest person, she doesn't want to compete with her original wife, nor does she want her son to compete with her original wife's son.She just suddenly realized that she could marry her niece to her son!The niece is three years older than her own son, and there is nothing more suitable than this.

Xiao Yang grew up in Shen's family, and she and Shen Erye's childhood sweetheart, this is a match made in heaven in Yang's view.

Now that the Shen family has two households, the old lady Yang has never had any bad intentions towards the eldest household who is not her own son, but she definitely loves the second household who is her own son more, this is all human nature.According to the rules of the house, the head of the family lives in Qingchun Hall, and the heir lives in Ding'an Hall.These are the two best courtyards of the Shen family.Now the head of the Shen family is still the General, but because the General is stationed in the northwest all the year round, the old lady lives in the Qingchun Hall all the year round.The heir is the long house, but the long house is also stationed in the northwest all year round, so the Ding'an Hall is empty all the year round, and the old lady often asks people to clean it, but she never thought of letting the second house steal into the long house's yard.But the old lady really loves the second room, so she will make up for the second room in other places.

The courtyard where Erfang lives now is called Shensitang.This courtyard is not big, but its location is good, it is next to Qingchun Hall, occupying the best geomantic treasure in the mansion.Shensitang was originally the small study of the general.The old lady asked someone to renovate it, and then let the second room live next to her.

Oh, when Xiao Yang was not married to Shen Erye, although Xiao Yang had a separate courtyard, she lived with the old lady in Qingchun Hall most of the time.Their aunt and nephew have always depended on each other.Xiao Yang was young, and the old lady wanted to keep her company, wishing she could hold Xiao Yang to sleep with her at night.When Xiao Yang was getting older, the old lady wanted to teach her how to manage the house, so naturally she would take Xiao Yang by her side all day long.

Even though this happened before the eldest young master was born, before he returned to the capital, he deliberately inquired about the temperament and preferences of the old lady and everyone in the second room, so as not to accidentally offend the elders. These past events are also a little known.The young master didn't have any bad feelings towards the second wife, Xiao Yang, but ever since he knew that the note was probably made by her, he couldn't help but suspect Xiao Yang.At the beginning, his mother fell down in the Qingchun Hall and gave birth prematurely. Was it really just because his mother was careless?Could it be Xiao Yang who did it?After all, Xiao Yang was not married to Second Master Shen at that time, she was living in Qingchun Hall, so it was very easy to do something.

Suppressing the many messy thoughts in his heart, the Eldest Young Master stepped into the martial arts arena.

General Shen is playing with a long spear like a tiger.At a certain moment, a trace of self-loathing suddenly rose in the young master's heart.As long as his grandfather and his father were not on the march, they would take time to practice on the martial arts field every day. They practiced in winter and summer and practiced in summer. They never lost their good martial arts skills.But as the next heir of the Shen family, he has no talent for martial arts.Is he really not from the Shen family?

General Shen finished a complete set of Shen family's marksmanship, then stopped his movements, looked at the young master, and called his son's nickname.

The young master's nickname is Jianxue, because it snowed on the day he was born.If you are in a more particular family, a nickname like "Jianxue" must be bad, because it sounds like "seeing blood", which is unlucky.But the Shen family is a family of military generals, General Shen and General Shen both think that this kind of homonym is very good, men should be a little bloody, and they will be bloody when they go to the battlefield.And this nickname also echoes the big name.

The young master's name is a little hard to describe.

Arranged according to the genealogy, his generation is the "elder" generation.When he was one year old, the great general named Fei drank some wine and gave the eldest young master a name full of the high expectations of the elders, called Long Spear, hoping that the eldest young master could perfectly inherit the Shen family's marksmanship.However, the name of Long Spear will be talked about on a certain novel website in later generations, so tired that later generations will deliberately add separators to the name of the eldest and young master when they write fanfiction on the Internet.

Shen Changqiang, the spear saw blood, but the young master has no martial arts talent.

Let's talk about the Shen family's marksmanship. It was actually given to the ancestors of the Shen family by the Emperor Taizu. Otherwise, what kind of family knowledge would that pig butcher have?Because of Emperor Taizu's kindness and love for cultivation, the Shen family has guarded the northwest for the Zhao family for generations, and has never had any second thoughts.

The martial arts arena is very empty, and it is actually more suitable for conversation than the inner room.The eldest young master waved away the waiter, handed a handkerchief to General Shen to wipe his sweat, and said hesitantly, "Father, I met a man on the street two days ago who looked almost like me. , this is so strange..."

"Huh? Isn't that man a scholar?" General Shen said nonchalantly.

Many thoughts quickly turned in the young master's mind, and he asked in surprise: "Does Dad know that person? Could it be a relative at home?"

General Shen shook his head and said: "I don't know... When your mother was pregnant with you, one day she went to offer incense with the female relatives in the mansion. When she came back from the temple, she kept saying that she met someone in the temple. , I accompanied my wife to the temple to fulfill my vows, she looks so much like your grandfather, she was shocked."

After a pause, General Shen said again: "Oh, your mother couldn't help talking about it two days ago. I guess the person your mother saw at that time was the same person you saw two days ago. I vaguely remember that she should be a scholar." Fang married to the capital from the south, and went to the northwest after not staying in the capital for long.She doesn't have many memories about the capital in her mind, so the only one or two interesting things she has will be brought up and told over and over again.

He was a passer-by who met by chance at first, but never contacted him again. Of course, the Fang family would not know what happened to Bian Xiucai's family, nor did he know that the family had lost a child.But Fang didn't know about this, and General Shen didn't even know about it.

The eldest young master asked: "That man looks too much like me, isn't he really a relative of the Fang family?"

"Really not." General Shen shook his head and said, "Your mother was pregnant at the time, and the scholar's wife was also pregnant. Your mother deliberately chatted with the scholar's wife. No more than one. Therefore, it is really just a coincidence that that person looks like your grandfather. Jianxue, you and Xiaoyi also look two or three points alike, so you have no blood relationship, it's just God's will. You Don't overthink it."

The Eldest Young Master and Shen Yi do have two or three points of similarity. After makeup, the similarity can reach five or six points. This is also a kind of fate.The reason why the Shen family picked Shen Yi from the Young Infant Hall in the first place was that they somehow had the intention to train Shen Yi to be a substitute for the young master, so as to avoid assassinations and sneak attacks on the battlefield, etc.But seeing the eldest young master and Shen Yi's childhood sweethearts grow up, knowing that the two children have a good relationship, the matter of the substitute will not be mentioned.

The young master gave a wry smile and said, "Father, if it is just a coincidence that I look like that scholar, what if there is another person of my age who looks like grandpa and you? Is this also a coincidence? Two They collided together by coincidence, there is such a small probability that we will run into each other..."

"What do you mean?" General Shen's eyes sharpened.

The young master took out the note he had picked up in the study from his sleeve, and handed it to General Shen.The young master couldn't say the words "I may not be your and mother's real son".He's emotionally reluctant to admit it.The young master said: "I just hope that none of this is real, it's just someone else's conspiracy... But these things have to be reported to you. You can ask Shen Yi about the specific things."

"Ridiculous! Nonsense!" General Shen crumpled the note viciously, "Who is playing tricks? If I find out, I will kill him!" General Shen has always been very satisfied with his eldest son , so he immediately denied the doggerel on the note.In his opinion, this is all the tricks of the mastermind behind the scenes, and he doesn't think his son has really been replaced.Without concrete evidence, who would doubt the child he brought up with only a note and similar looks?However, even if the son has not been replaced, this matter must be investigated.

The affirmation from his father made the young master heave a sigh of relief.He is not greedy for the identity of the young master, but for the family relationship that he has been with for more than ten years.Now that his mind is wavering, he especially needs the protection from his parents.However, maintenance alone is not enough, they need the truth.

The father and son were talking, when the steward led the angel and hurried towards them, saying, "My lord, the palace messenger is here."

"In the palace?" General Shen frowned slightly.

The angel invited General Shen into the palace by the order of Emperor Kanghe.The eldest young master hurriedly said: "Father, go to face the saint. I will investigate this matter with Uncle Ling." Uncle Ling's full name is Shen Ling, and he is also an orphan adopted by the Shen family. He grew up with General Shen. Da is General Shen's true confidant.

General Shen trusted Shen Ling, and he also trusted his son, so he nodded slightly, changed his clothes and entered the palace.

Emperor Kanghe did not summon other ministers, but only General Shen.

After Emperor Kanghe got up, he gathered a group of palace people in front of him, and asked them to say their names one by one.Looking at the faces they had seen in the dream and the names they had heard in the dream, Kang and Di felt more and more that everything in the dream was real.Then, in his dream, there will be an earthquake three days later, and there will definitely be an earthquake in real life.He couldn't stop the earthquake, but he wanted to minimize casualties.

However, although Emperor Kanghe sat on the throne, he was just a mascot. He didn't know what he should do.Kang and Di thought about it, and the figure of General Shen suddenly appeared in their minds.General Shen was ordered to send him to Beijing, and they spent a month together on the road.In Emperor Kang He's heart, he had an unconscious dependence on General Shen.No one knows that Kang Hedi, a poor child who lacks paternal love, his perfect father is General Shen, who is powerful, upright, and caring for his family. He is very reliable in every aspect.

"On the way to Beijing, he was afraid that I would get tired of dry food, so he even roasted rabbits for me." Emperor Kang He thought very moved.

General Shen didn't know the secret thoughts belonging to Emperor Kanghe.He didn't know what the emperor asked him to do, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.Could it be because the emperor ate his roasted rabbit and ruined his stomach, and now he wants to settle the score after autumn?But he can’t blame him for this matter, the rabbit was not roasted for Kang Hedi, and Kang Hedi insisted on coming over to watch the fun, so he had to give way, thinking that Kang Hedi would definitely not eat it, but Unexpectedly, Kang Hedi took the whole rabbit away, and then ate it all in one go, so he just made himself full...

Kang Hedi craned his neck and waited eagerly, finally, General Shen arrived.

Emperor Kang He waved at General Shen and said, "Master Shen, please have dinner with me first. I will discuss something important with you later." He had wanted to have dinner with General Shen for a long time.Due to the early death of his own father, Emperor Kang He lacked a character like General Shen in his growth process.

What people lack, they will always subconsciously pursue what they lack.

General Shen quickly thanked him.The chief eunuch nodded lightly, and the maids quickly served the dishes.General Shen looked down at the various messes in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.The emperor really has a grudge, right?The emperor is really taking revenge on him, right?
