In the spring of Xiande's fourth year, in a small house in Bianliang City, a loud cry of a baby completely relieved the people waiting outside the door.

Wen Po came out of the bloody room with a baby in her arms, and happily said to Yan Shu who was standing at the door: "Here, a big fat boy is born! Congratulations, big lady, happy son!"

Yan Shu glanced at the child, and said with a smile, "Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's all go to Madam Liu to get a profit!"

Everyone immediately smiled, and all kinds of auspicious words were poured out as if they didn't want money.

The old lady sitting in the side hall cried with joy: "I've been looking forward to it for decades, and it's finally here!"

Wen Po held the child and looked at Yan Shu, who nodded slightly, and then Wen Po carried the child to the old woman with a beaming face, and let the old woman examine it.

The old lady just glanced at it, and Yan Shu asked Mrs. Wen to carry the child back to the house.She said to the old woman who was holding the child reluctantly: "The child needs to be fed when it is born, and then it will know how to find something to eat, so it won't be hungry."

The old woman had been looking forward to this grandson for half her life, so she naturally didn't want him to make any mistakes, so she let go of her hand.

She was very satisfied with Yan Shu's thoughtfulness and understanding, and took Yan Shu's hand and said, "I know this child didn't come out of your stomach, so you are inevitably a little bit disappointed. But Ah Lu and I think that no matter what, this child will be I recognize you as the mother, your status will not change because of this child, this will not change."

Yan Shu smiled slightly, and comforted the old woman in turn: "I can tolerate anyone who can open up branches and leaves for the Shen family, and treat them kindly. So Agu and Langjun, I am not disappointed, because in my heart, that child is also my own."

The old woman was very moved: "Marrying a wife and a virtuous man, asking you to marry me for Ah Lu back then was indeed the most correct decision I made in my life."

The smile on Yan Shu's face didn't change, but it didn't reach his eyes.

At this moment, the concierge came in and said: "Old mistress, eldest lady, a monk came outside the door and said he wanted to come in for a chance."

The old lady believed in Buddhism, and there was a Buddhist altar in the room, where she burned incense and chanted scriptures every day, and she was extremely devout.So when she heard that a monk came to beg for alms, she asked people to invite him in without hesitation.

After the monk came in, he was not in a hurry to get food, but looked at the west side of the house with a look of surprise, and then he turned his head to congratulate the old woman on her golden grandson.

The old woman asked him: "How did Master know that my family just got a grandson?"

She looked at the concierge, but the concierge looked blank, apparently he hadn't told the monk about the happy event at home just now.

The monk said a series of mysterious and mysterious words, full of mysteries and mysteries.

The old woman couldn't understand, but she was greatly shocked, and she was convinced instantly, thinking that the other party was an eminent monk with profound Buddhist teachings.

She wanted to ask for the blessing of an eminent monk for her grandson, hoping that her grandson would grow up safely.But the eminent monk said: "This young gentleman has a good fortune and fortune, but it's a pity that your son's fate is not so good..."

The old woman was stunned for a moment, how did it involve her son Shen Yilu?

The monk asked her: "If my calculations are correct, this child is probably the son's first child, and he is still an old man at the age of 49."

The old woman nodded hastily: "That's right, my son and his daughter-in-law have been married for twenty years, but they don't have any children. Now this child is born of a concubine."

The monk said: "That's right. He didn't have children in the first 20 years, it was all because of the sins he committed in his previous life."

No one would be happy if anyone scolded his son for his sins in the previous life, and the old woman was no exception, she immediately lowered her face.

But the monk went on to explain: "Your son was the number one scholar in his previous life, named Chen Shimei. Before he was in high school, he had a wife and son. Unexpectedly, when he was nominated for the gold list, the princess saw him. The princess admired his talent, so she recruited him as a concubine. After he became Before becoming the son-in-law, the princess asked him if he was married, but he concealed the existence of his wife and children, saying that he had never been married.

"After he became a son-in-law, his wife and children lost news of him, so he went to Beijing to look for him. After he found out, he was afraid that the appearance of his wife and children would affect his future, so he had his wife and children killed. So his wife My son cursed him, that he would die without a son in every lifetime!" ①

The old woman gasped: "How could there be such a vicious curse?!"

Yan Shu glanced at her and said, "Auntie, I don't think this is an eminent monk, I'm afraid it's a lie."

The monk's expression remained unchanged, and he never felt displeased by Yan Shu's questioning, or showed a guilty look.

He said as if no one was present: "He had no heirs for more than 20 years ago, but it was actually caused by this curse. The Dao is fifty, the Tianyan is 49, and the shield is one. 49 is a fixed number and a variable, so now at the age of 49, he is lucky to have a son." .It’s just that this child may not live to be 16 years old.”②

Yan Shu questioned: "Isn't this the Chinese language of Xuanmen Taoism? The master also cultivates Taoism?"

"Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism all influence each other. Nowadays, the integration of the three religions is the trend. Practicing Buddhism naturally also understands Taoism."

No matter what doubts Yan Shu raises, the monk can justify himself.The old woman believed in the monk's words more and more: "Then what should we do, I ask the eminent monk to show us the Shen family a clear way."

The monk said: "This is easy to handle. The curse says that the son will die without a son, so he will be raised as a girl until he passes his 16th birthday safely, and then he will marry a wife with a suitable life to continue his life. In this way, the curse can be broken. And in the future, your grandson will have three sons and one daughter..."

……

"Grandmother actually believed such a clumsy lie?" Shen Ji looked in disbelief, "Where's my father? He also believed it?"

"Back then your father was at the official's side and went to Shouchun with Zhou Shizong, so he missed this scene, but your grandmother told your father about it, and he didn't believe it at first. It's just that the monk predicted some important events for his family and country. Afterwards, everything was fulfilled one by one, and from then on, not to mention your grandmother, even your father firmly believed in it."

Shen Ji: "..."

So is the other party an eminent monk?

"Wait a minute, grandma personally confirmed that the girl gave birth to a boy, so what happened to me?"

With such a smart mind like hers, she can't figure out the causal relationship between these things.

Yan Shu sighed suddenly, and then said with a sad face, "Back then..."

"Mother, get to the point, if you don't get to the point, your pillow will be cold." Shen Ji pointed to the night sky.

Yan Shu: "..."

Tian Li answered the words calmly: "Your father is eager to beg for a son, in order to prevent me from giving birth to him endlessly, Ah Shu decided to lie that you are a boy, and then bring a newborn baby boy to confuse the eyes. "

There is a huge amount of information contained in this short sentence.

Shen Ji quickly digested the information, and suddenly realized: "The two mothers are worried that father's lack of children will affect your two lives, so they made up this big lie!"

These two ladies of hers are really bold!

The key is that they really let them hide it!

From this, it can be seen that the whole Shen family has been tightly controlled by them, otherwise, from the stable woman who gave birth to the maids and servants around them, anyone who does not cooperate will reveal the truth, and it is impossible to hide it until now.

"It hurts."

Not surprisingly, Shen Ji's ear was pulled by Tian Li again.

"I was wrong. The two ladies did this with good intentions and were forced to do so, not for their own selfishness."

After her ears were rescued again, she asked seriously: "The two ladies never thought about it, what if my identity is exposed?"

Yan Shudao: "Where did you think so much back then? You only thought that in the era when wars were raging and the average person could not live past [-], your father and your grandmother were already living a long life. I am afraid that you will not have to hide it for many years to restore your identity. .But I didn't expect..."

Shen Ji: "..."

"I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed. Although you have boiled your grandmother to death, your father is still healthy and strong?"

Both Yan Shu and Tian Li were silent, acquiescing to her statement.

Yan Shudao: "Not only that, your father is in a high position now, if your identity is exposed, then the entanglement will be serious."

Shen Ji went over this matter again, and asked inexplicably: "Since the two ladies have planned to hide my identity from the beginning, why do you want me to show off as a woman?"

They could have let her show off in men's clothing since she was a child, so why bother?

Yan Shudao: "You are a daughter, and some things cannot be changed by nature. Even if you are raised and raised as a man since childhood, you will never be able to change your daughter's posture. So it is better to lie and say that you need to be raised as a daughter. When you arrive At a sensible age, if I explain the whole story to you, it will not only ensure that you will not leak anything, but also explain why you have the attitude of a daughter after you change into a man."

Shen Ji couldn't help calling out from the bottom of his heart: Good guy!

Her mother's reverse operation, not to mention whether it can be done in the end, at least she has been persuaded at this moment.

She vaguely understood why they had to live apart from her father for a long time - it was all to prevent her father from finding out.

As for why when she was in Bianliang, her mother asked her to wear a veiled hat and pretend to be gentle and decent.It should be to give her father and outsiders the illusion that she was raised according to the standard of a daughter in a boudoir, so as to cover up the daughter's side that she may inadvertently reveal in the future.

But in Taikang's hometown, he indulged her and deliberately cultivated her some masculine habits. Presumably, he hoped that after she "recovered" her male identity, she could adapt to the new identity in a short time.

Seeing her calm reaction, Yan Shu said, "Looking at your reaction, I think you have accepted the truth, so let's go back and rest first."

Shen Ji: "..."

Where does she accept it well?She was stunned by the truth, okay!

When Yan Shu and Tian Li were about to leave and let Shen Ji digest the matter alone, Shen Ji suddenly stopped them and asked the last question of the night: "So this matter is like Li Yunyao. It doesn't matter! Mother, why did you mention her before?"

Yan Shu said: "It's nothing, I just thought of the prophecy of that eminent monk back then."

Shen Ji remembered that the monk said that she would find a wife with a "destiny match" in the future, and they would have three sons and a daughter together...

Although she knew that this was impossible, her father had firmly believed in the monk's words, and sooner or later he would find such a wife for her!

So her mother probably wanted her to find Li Yunyao, right?After all, Li Yunyao is one of the few people who knows the identity of her daughter.

"Isn't the eminent monk arranged by my mother? So I have been tricked by my mother?" Shen Ji said, "You two mothers, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Yan Shu: "It's not appropriate to talk about it."

Tian Li: "Shut up."

Shen Ji: "..."

Just when Shen Ji was looking at the night sky and worrying, in an old three-entry house in Bianliang, a girl who was reading a book suddenly raised her head.

"Is there a candidate who meets the application requirements?"③

What answered her was the voice in her head: "It has been confirmed that this woman is currently the only one who meets the requirements for the application and can quickly help the master complete the main task."

The girl pondered for a moment, then asked, "Who is this person?"

The author says:

Shen Ji: This wave of my mother is in the atmosphere.
