[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Shen Yue didn't know what Fang Shi was thinking of, so he hurriedly asked if something important had been left on the boat, even so, there was no need to worry, as long as he went to find it for Fang Shi.As he spoke, he lifted his foot and was about to walk outside.

Fang stopped him with a smile: "I am back today, maybe Yu'er will come over tomorrow. But you can't delay going to your grandmother's house, don't you want Yu'er to make a trip in vain? I also blame Those who miss her don't know what it looks like now."

When Shen Yue heard about this matter, he laughed and said: "What kind of difficulty is this? It's worth mother's embarrassment? Let someone send a letter to Yu'er, and come back later. Besides, didn't I also show Yu'er's portrait to my mother? It’s only been two months, how much can change.”

Seeing Fang's expression of disapproval, she said to her: "Perhaps Yu'er knows that her mother is anxious to see her grandmother, and has no plans to go to the mansion tomorrow." After hearing Fang's schedule for the next few days, Shen Yue Someone had already sent a letter to Lin's residence, so I wasn't worried that Daiyu would miss out.

Fang thought of no other way, so he asked someone to pack up the things for Daiyu, so that the boy who delivered the letter could take them over.Shen Yue stopped her again: "Yu'er was supposed to come to visit her mother, how could a mother give her a gift first?"

This time, Mrs. Fang refused to listen to him: "I heard that your aunt gets along very well with Yu'er, and you take her to and from flower clubs to socialize and socialize. I can't let your aunt compare to you."

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Shen Yue looked at Fang Shi ordering people to tidy up with a smile, and asked her if she was satisfied with how the house was tidied up.As soon as Fang entered the house, all kinds of things were ready, and the things he used were all in line with his own wishes. What is there to be dissatisfied with?Shen Yue's words are tantamount to asking in vain.When she found out that the skirt around her bed was written by Daiyu and embroidered by the maids, Fang took a good look at it and said, "It's hard for Yu'er, she is only so old, and she has to study, so she shouldn't be fucked." This heart."

At this time, someone from the old lady's courtyard came to invite Mrs. Fang to a meal - the first day they returned home, the family had a meal together, it was not a feast, but a welcome for their mother and child.After dinner, they discussed about holding a congratulatory banquet for Shen Chao and the two brothers.

Shen Yue complained about this: "In the past few days, it can't be done anymore, right? It's better to wait until next year to do it together, so as not to make people think that my family is receiving gifts in this name."

However, Shen Shangshu told Mrs. Shen about his attitude earlier, and she objected: "Our family has not had any happy events for many years, and your grandma has returned to Beijing. I just want to use this to tell everyone. When your brother wins again next year, naturally Still have to do it."

It's not that the Shen family wants to use the two children to publicize it, but that the two children are so outstanding that others already know that if they act in a clumsy manner, they will be inferior. It is better to follow the example of other families, and it will not look special to the Shen family. stand alone.

So on the second day, Mrs. Fang was escorted back to her natal home by Shen Yue, and had some kind words with Mrs. Fang.When she saw the two grandchildren who had never met, the old lady even forgot about Shen Yue, who was the most proud of her in the past, and wished she could get close to the two children immediately.

The next day, Jia Min brought Daiyu over to see Fang. Seeing Daiyu who had grown a lot taller, Fang shed tears again and said to Jia Min, "Yue'er only said that Yu'er has grown taller. It looks like it has grown open, which is not what I described when I was a child."

Jia Min smiled and nodded: "I'm a little more sensible than before, but I'm still naughty with Shang Yueer."

Brother Xun couldn't wait for a long time, he saluted Daiyu and asked, "Sister, do you still remember me? Why don't you see Brother Kuan?"

Daiyu smiled and handed Brother Xun a box: "Here is the foreign sugar I have kept these days. Do you think I remember you? Brother Kuan has class today, and I will come to you when he is not in class." .” Seeing Brother Fen again, he also gave him candy.

Old Mrs. Shen said to Brother Xun: "Go play with your brother, let's talk freely for a while."

Brother Yan came to ask Brother Yan: "What did I say, as long as the old lady sees sister Yu'er, she will never see us again. Why don't you make trouble and go to my study?" The four boys shouted He went out the door with a groan.

Jia Min looked a little envious: "The old lady's place is really lively, unlike our family who only has Brother Kuan himself, who can't make trouble even if he wants to."

The old lady comforted her and said: "Children are everyone's fate. Wait until Brother Kuan marries a wife and give you two more grandchildren." She pointed at Mrs. Shen with a smile and said, "Master was only at that time He is alone, let’s see if there are a lot of grandchildren now.”

Jia Min could only nod her head, and then asked when the Shen family would hold a banquet, and whether she should help.Now that Mrs. Fang has returned, and was about to let the people in Beijing know, Mrs. Liu smiled and asked Jia Min to come early that day, and will post a post for her when the date is fixed.

While waiting for everyone to eat together, Shen Yue discovered the problem: there are too many boys, and each has its own teacher, and the content of the professor also has its own interpretation according to the different teachers.Speaking in this way, it inevitably involves different understandings on some issues. If it weren't for the four young children, they would quarrel over their different opinions while eating.

"Master, why is there no family education in our house?" This was the question Shen Yue asked after begging to see Shen Shangshu.

Shen Shangshu heard Zhiyi, and said: "Your uncle and your father are only two brothers, there is not much difference in age, one teacher is enough to teach. Why, do you think your brothers are arguing?"

Shen Yue didn't feel that he didn't love his brothers: "It's been three or four days since Brother Xun and the others returned to Beijing, and they didn't even go to school for a day. Children don't have much concentration. If they continue to play like crazy for a few days, I'm afraid they will die." I don’t even want to touch the book.”

Seeing someone who is still a child say that others are children, an old man like Shen Shangshu also smiled: "They just returned to Beijing, and they should take care of themselves. Besides, Brother Xun and his husband didn't follow up in Beijing, so they have to take care of themselves." Let your uncle find it slowly." Think about it and said to Shen Yue: "You know that there is still a place for the Imperial College at home, but they..."

Shen Yue didn't care much about this: "Those who are motivated don't care where they study, and it's not that there are no dudes in the Imperial College. What's more, the quota was saved by Brother Chao, and the second master and grandma already knew about it."

Xueshi Shen nodded silently, saying that the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, but for a person like him, the eldest son and the first house are the most important thing in his heart.If it wasn't for Shen Yue's outstanding performance, he wouldn't have said this today.

Shen Yue still insisted on his own ideas: "Now there are six brothers in our family alone, and there will be more in the future. So the grandson still thinks that we should also set up a family school. Not for anything else, just for everyone to study together , getting along for a long time, the relationship is closer than that of not seeing each other for a long time."

These words also reached the heart of Xueshi Shen, thinking about saying to him: "I will discuss it with your uncle." Then he smiled to Shen Yue: "It's very good that you can think so. This jade bottle rewards you .” Pointing to the white and delicate suet jade bottle on his desk.

Shen Yue thanked the reward with a smile, and asked again: "This should be a pair, they look good together." An angry Shen Shangshu laughed and scolded him once, and finally asked someone to find another one, watching Shen Yue carefully hold it out. door, and let out a long sigh.

Shen Xin also sighed: "It's hard for him to think of such a thing." Why didn't he think of his stupid son?

Shen Shangshu also worried: "What has Chao'er been busy these two days? They didn't let them stay in the mansion, so why did they go out to meet friends?" It's not scary to communicate with people, but what I'm afraid of is that if outsiders flatter, Shen Chao will follow in a coma. nod.

What the two of them didn't say was that Shen Chao, the eldest son, was not as good as Shen Yue when it came to being careful and meticulous.

"When you have nothing to do, bring Chao'er to meet people." Shen Shangshu could only think of a way: "I heard that when Ren'er and Lin Ruhai went out to socialize in Yangzhou, they took Yue'er with them." Did this make Shen Yue, who was so young, have seen the intrigues of the officialdom early?

Shen Xin nodded heavily: "When I didn't enter the study room, I saw that Chao'er acted in a way." Why did he go back to the study room after going to the study room?

"Although there are quite a few people in the study room, they are all half-grown children, so what kind of clever tricks can they use?" Shen Shangshu also felt that it would be of no benefit for Shen Chao to be the companion of the Seventh Prince.If it wasn't for the fear that the elder prince's seizure of the heirloom would affect the Shen family, and Shen Chao became the seventh prince's companion, just in time to show the Supreme Emperor that the Shen family had no intention of standing in line, Xueshi Shen would never have agreed.

It's too late to say anything now.

Shen Chao, who was watching a play with Prince Zhongshun, didn't know that his grandfather and father were worrying about him, so he pointed to a little actor on the stage with a smile and said, "This costume is quite interesting." Then he looked at Prince Zhongshun .

Prince Zhongshun didn't care and said: "It's just a thing, what's interesting? If you look at it well, just let him serve you in your mansion."

Shen Chao waved his hands again and again: "My lord, don't hurt me. Our family has never been willing to raise opera singers. If the elders find out, they will still have my legs when they are discounted."

It can be seen that Shen Chao is not very restrained when the two get along, it is obvious that they have contacts on weekdays, and they have not broken contact because Shen Chao is preparing for the scientific examination.Not to mention the Shen family, even Shen Yue, who often went out to meet friends with Shen Chao, never found that Shen Chao and Prince Zhongshun were so close.

I heard Prince Zhongshun ask Shen Chao: "When will your family have a banquet, other people's homes have already invited you. When you have a banquet, you want to write a post for this king, and this king will also go to congratulate you. "

Shen Chao still didn't dare to answer: "My lord, if you go, who would dare to drink anymore?"

Prince Zhongshun was a little annoyed: "It turned out that when I was a prince, I could walk around a little bit. Now that I am a king, no matter whether it is a minister or you, everyone will respect this king at a distance."

"My lord is honorable, except for a saint, who can be more noble than you, everyone is afraid of the majesty of the lord, so naturally they dare not treat him normally."

"Tiger prestige." Prince Zhongshun took up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp: "What prestige does this king have, but he is just an empty prince."

Hearing this, Shen Chao frowned imperceptibly, and said to Prince Zhongshun: "I have something to do and can't accompany the prince these two days, the prince has decided who to accompany him to the theater?"

Prince Zhongshun was a little dejected and said: "What's the point of going to the theater every day? By the way, you might as well learn to ride a horse. How about we go for a horse race together in Sunrise City? Or let people prepare and take a ride."

It's not that Shen Chao doesn't know how to ride a horse, it's just that he can only trot slowly on the road in the middle of Beijing. If he wants to go out of the city with Prince Zhongshun to ride the horse and whip, it's still far away.But because of this sentence, Shen Chao judged that Prince Zhongshun might have been walking with a child from a family of martial arts recently.

He calmly said to Prince Zhongshun: "Students remember that the concubine's birthday is coming soon, did the prince prepare a gift for the concubine? After all, the students have no chance to greet the concubine, and wait for the prince to enter the palace for the students Plead guilty to the concubine. If it is convenient, the student will send a birthday gift, and the prince will honor the concubine for the student."

Hearing him mentioning his mother and concubine, Prince Zhongshun slowed down a bit: "If you don't mention this prince, you will forget it. It's been a few days since I went to pay my respects to the concubine. If I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will go to pay my respects to the concubine." Let's go." After speaking, he said to Shen Chao helplessly: "Look, now this king wishes to spend two days on one thing, so as to save one day's time."

These words come from the mouth of a prince, which cannot but make people feel sympathetic, but Shen Chao, who has been a reading companion, is willing to be loyal to the prince and live in peace, even if he stares at the little actors every day. Who coaxed her to go: "The concubine must also be thinking about the prince. The prince is about to get married, I'm afraid it will be in time for Chun Wei, so I can't come to congratulate the prince in person."

When Prince Zhongshun mentioned his own marriage, there was no joy on his face: His mother and concubine were not favored when they were young.And the Supreme Emperor, who was drugged by Prince Yizhong, didn't care about his sons who were underage at that time. He still remembered that Prince Zhongshun was about to get married and asked the queen to show him a beautiful family.

She is just the eldest daughter of the Zhengqing family of the third-rank Taipu Temple, and Prince Zhongshun doesn't have any expectations for the princess who is about to take over.Shen Chao could also see that he was worried, but still bit the bullet and said to Prince Zhongshun in a low voice: "I heard from Yueer that the empress is the most fair and peaceful, and the person she picks must be very good."

Prince Zhongshun heard him mention Shen Yue, and pointed out: "You brothers have a good relationship all these years, so you talk about everything?"

Shen Chao smiled wryly: "Talk about everything, that kid has a lot of eyes, and he will let go in front of the elders. He never wants to suffer, and the hearts of the whole family have been gathered by him. It's just that we grew up together with him. Just ignore him, the students can’t get enough of him if they bother him.” What he said was full of complaints, but the smile on his face deepened a bit.

Prince Zhongshun had never experienced such a feeling before. He picked up the wine glass and took another sip: "Grown up together?" They are just brothers of the party, but they are so close?I do have brothers, but I have never had one who talked about being annoying but unknowingly gave in.Could it be that everyone grew up not together?It is clear that during the years in the prince's office, everyone lived together.

When Shen Chao came out from Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, the first thing he did when he returned to the mansion was to find Shen Yue. Hearing that he had gone to the Lin Mansion, he asked Shuang'an to bring a message to Shen Yue. After returning to the mansion, he must go to his study.When Shen Yue heard about it, he didn't know why he was in such a hurry, he didn't even go to Fang's place, so he hurriedly came to find Shen Chao: "But brother got into trouble outside?"

Shen Chao didn't care about bickering with him, and angrily drove the boys away: "Tell me about this, isn't it a bit strange?" He taught Shen Yue verbatim the conversation he had with Prince Zhongshun. , I want this brother who has always had an idea to give me an idea.

If the emperor is still sitting on the throne, Prince Zhongshun laments that he is an empty prince and it is not a big taboo. After all, it is his father who is sitting on the dragon chair.

But now the one sitting on the dragon chair is only the elder brother of Prince Zhongshun.It's okay if no one hears this, but if someone hears it, it's not impossible to put a hat of resentment on Prince Zhongshun's head!

Shen Yue asked him: "Brother, have you inquired about it or not, which children of the Wu Xun family did Prince Zhongshun walk around with these days? When and why did you start walking around?"

Shen Chao didn't inquire about these.He came to the door as a guest, just a guest, and asked him to ask the people in the palace about the whereabouts of the prince behind the back of Prince Zhongshun, Shen Chao disdained it.

Shen Yue nodded clearly: "Big brother persuaded Prince Zhongshun to enter the palace with good intentions. I hope the concubine can find out the clue and persuade the prince to stick to his heart."

Shen Chao was not sure about this: "You don't know, the prince seems to be peaceful and peaceful, but he cares about some trivial matters." This is one of the reasons why he didn't break contact with Prince Zhongshun after he left the palace. I'm afraid that this narrow-minded prince will feel that his companion is abandoning him, and wants to climb higher branches, and make trouble for himself or the Shen family in places where he can't see.

Although the Shen family is not afraid of such a prince who has no real power, one thing more is worse than one thing less.So Shen Chao went to Prince Zhongshun's mansion to show his face from time to time, and chatted with Prince Zhongshun for a while, which was considered to be his companionship.

Who would have heard Prince Zhongshun complain today.He has only built a mansion for a few days!Shen Chao shivered: "Those people are not even willing to make people stable for a few years."

Shen Yue said softly to him: "Prince Zhongshun wants to be stable for a few years, but the body of the Supreme Emperor, no one can say that it can last for a few years."

Shen Chao looked at him like a monster: "You dare to say such things." Shen Yue said indifferently: "This is actually something that everyone knows, but they are just like you and refuse to say it in front of others. .”

"Why don't I know?" Shen Chao muttered in disbelief.

Shen Yuebai glanced at him: "Brother, every time Uncle and Master ask you to discuss matters together, you either fiddle with your fingers or wander in the sky, what else do you want to know?"

Shen Chao let him speak, and there was no embarrassment on his face: "Anyway, no matter what we discuss, we don't have the part to talk, so why listen to it? Just follow the orders of the master and the uncle."

"Then you listened to what Prince Zhongshun said today, why do you want to discuss it with me? Could it be that uncle ordered you?" Shen Yue was a little unbelieving.Seeing Shen Chao shaking his head, he said to him: "Could it be that the master and uncle really have no idea? They just want us to know about the officialdom, lest our eyes will be dark when we go out."

After thinking about it, he finally felt uneasy, and said to Shen Chao: "The master should not be asleep at this time, why don't we invite the master to see the master, so that the family can be prepared."

It was about the safety of the whole family, Shen Chao couldn't refute even if he was afraid of being scolded, so he came to Shen Shangshu's study side by side with Shen Yue.After listening to the two of them explaining the purpose of their visit, Shen Shangshu looked at Shen Chao very much, making Shen Chao's heart shudder.However, Shen Shangshu was very relieved and said: "Chao'er is my son of the Shen family." Even Shen Shangshu was surprised that this sensitivity could appear in the seemingly straightforward Shen Chao.It was even more unexpected than when Shen Chaozhong lifted the middle to the front of Shen Yue.

At this time, Shen Yue silently compared the difference between Prince Zhongshun in the original book and the reality, but it is a pity that Prince Zhongshun in the original book is a villain who loves to drink and play with privileges, and now he can only stay in the mansion and complain. Prince Zhongshun is far from him.

Could it be that Prince Zhongshun's appearance in the original book was the result of disharmony and blackening?Then why didn't he look for other people's troubles, and why would he stick to the Rongguo Mansion after transformation?

Could it be that the people from Wu Xun's family who are close to Prince Zhongshun are the ones who were drawn by the Rongguo Mansion?Or is this person from the Wu Xun family who is close to Prince Zhongshun originally from the Jia family?You must know that in the original book, Jia Zhen kept his filial piety and gathered to gamble, but it was analyzed that it was an excuse to gather people secretly to plot rebellion under the pretense of gambling.It's not impossible for someone to seduce a loyal and obedient prince who has the dignity of a prince.

"Yue'er, what are you thinking?" Shen Shangshu sent someone to invite Shen Xin, seeing that Shen Yue was in a daze all the time, he didn't seem to always talk about his own thoughts when encountering problems, so he asked.

Shen Yue who was thinking about it didn't hear Shen Shangshu's question, it was Shen Chao who pushed him to wake up.Seeing that Shen Shangshu was still looking at him, Shen Chao covered it up and said: "Grandson is thinking, should elder brother go to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion in the near future? If not, what is the reason? If he goes, how will he get along with Prince Zhongshun."

Shen Shangshu felt even more relieved when he heard it, and said to Shen Chao: "You should think more about it, you have to learn from Yueer." Shen Chao just nodded.

He then asked Shen Xin who had just entered the door: "What do you think about this matter, does the Shen family want to intervene now?"

Shen Xin thought for a moment before saying: "Whether it is Prince Zhongshun himself who is dissatisfied, or someone with a heart to lead him to say this to Chao'er, we need to find out." Shen Yue expressed his admiration in his heart after hearing this, this is what has been done. The difference between those who are old and those who have not yet formally handled affairs.

With the experience of Shen Yue's two lifetimes together, he could only think that Prince Zhongshun was encouraged by others, but Shen Xin thought that someone deliberately wanted the Shen family to hear Prince Zhongshun's remarks.

As for why the Shen family should hear it, Shen Yue, who has been removed from the blindfold, naturally understands: The Shen family will always stand by the person sitting on the dragon chair, and if Zhongzhen finds out that Prince Zhongshun is dissatisfied with the present, he will definitely report it to today.And what those people want to see is the reaction after hearing the news today!

"That's it. Later, I will personally write an invitation to invite Prince Zhongshun to their brother's congratulatory banquet." Shen Shangshu made the final decision.

It was only at this point that Shen Chao pleaded guilty to Shen Shangshu and Shen Xin, that he should not have walked with Prince Zhongshun but did not tell his family.

Shen Shangshu had sent someone a big red invitation card, Shen Yue went over to grind the ink for the old man, and Shen Xin patiently began to teach his son: "Tell me, you have been a companion for Prince Zhongshun for a few years. Walking around his house is not something taboo, why don't you tell the family?"

Shen Chao didn't tell his family that it was out of an instinct to know that the elders in the family didn't like it. If he was asked to say one, two, three, he really couldn't say it.Shen Xin tapped lightly on the tabletop, and then knocked Shen Chao tremblingly, the words he said became even more expectant.

Seeing that Shen Shangshu had already picked up his pen, Shen Xin said to Shen Chao, "Because you have a guilty conscience. It is not the first time you have heard Prince Zhongshun complain. You knew that he had resentment in his heart, and he was even more afraid that one day he would turn this resentment into nothing. Action. And you have been his companion, it is easy for people to see you as loyal to the prince's party. So you dare not tell your family, do you?"
