Chapter 14 The Past (1)
Shen Mao stood outside Hexiangyuan for a moment, calmed down and said goodbye to his father-in-law.
Mr. Feng brought Shen Mao into the study and asked casually: "What did Shaojun say to you?"
A gentle and sweet girl's face flashed in Shen Mao's mind, and the sentence "I just said to my uncle, don't tell my grandfather."
If it comes to your mouth, I swallow it back.
"Young Master asked me about the whole story of burying my third brother back then." Shen Mao replied in a low voice.
Mr. Feng's eyes flashed and he whispered: "The case has been closed, so there is no need to mention it again."
Shen Mao whispered.
Thinking of his unjustly death, Mr. Feng felt a heart-wrenching pain in his heart.
Among the three sons, Feng Lun was the most talented and intelligent student. He passed the exam at the age of 18, shining the family and glorifying his ancestors, and his future is unlimited.
However, this rebellious son is tough and too independent. He is unwilling to obey his parents' orders to retire and insists on marrying Cui. Otherwise, he will be favored by Princess Ninghui and become a county horse, and he will have a lifetime of wealth and prosperity.
Princess Ninghui's father, Prince Fu, was the younger brother of a compatriot of Emperor Long'an, and was the Zongzheng of the clan's mansion. Princess Ninghui's mother died early and was raised by Empress Dowager Cao in the palace, and was very favored. She was no less than the princess.
Back then, on the way to Beijing, Feng Lun met Princess Ning Hui. Princess Ning Hui met Feng Lun, who was handsome, scholarly and outstanding in his eyes. After Feng Lun won the Tanhua, Prince Fu sent his confidant to Feng's mansion and tactfully expressed his intention to get married.
The Feng family was overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, Feng Lun was unwilling to withdraw from his bride and marry another. The young and energetic Feng Lun took the initiative to meet Prince Fu and told Prince Fu that he had already been engaged.
The forced melon is not sweet. Prince Fu quickly chose another marriage for Princess Ninghui.
Minister Feng had no choice but to pinch his nose and recognize him.
With such a thorn, Feng Lun was not helpful to stay in the capital for too long. He quickly made an appointment and became an official. He stayed in Qingzhou for several years and was depressed and unsuccessful.
Mr. Feng felt sorry for his son, and the Cui family was willing to pay money again, and finally planned a good job as the Yan Jingshi of Lianghuai. Who would have thought that as soon as Feng Lun succeeded, he would be stabbed and framed, and lost his life...
He was unable to avenge his son, and he had to swallow his anger and pretend to be deaf and dumb, quickly settled the murder case. He then married his granddaughter Feng Shaomei to the Xie family.
In this way, the official position was saved and the Feng family was also saved.
This old story is completely covered with dust! Don’t mention it again!
After Shen Mao and Da Feng took Shen Jia and Shen You away, Mr. Feng took a while to wash up and went to Mrs. Feng's dormitory.
The old couple are old and have nothing to be gentle when they meet. They open their mouths and say things: "Young man, you must train well and let her learn the rules so that they will not be rude in front of others."
It would be fine if I didn’t mention this, but I would be angry when I mentioned Mrs. Feng.
"This girl looks delicate, but she is actually sharp-tongued and contradicts her elders." Mrs. Feng said angrily about Bai Ri: "...If I had known today, I would not have let her go to the Cui family. The Cui family has developed this way of being disobedient and unfilial!"
Mr. Feng frowned and glanced at Mrs. Feng: "When Cui died of illness, you refused to send someone to pick Shaojun back to the mansion. Sanlang then sent Shaojun to the Cui family. Three years ago, you didn't send anyone to pick him up. Now you blame the Cui family. Why are you so embarrassed to let him speak out!"
Mrs. Feng: “…”
Mrs. Feng was choked and filled with anger.
Mr. Feng slowed down his voice: "You hate Cui in your heart, so you have never liked Shaojun and were unwilling to take her back to the house for upbringing. I know."
"Since Shaojun is back home now, it's better not to mention the past."
"Shaojun's surname is Feng, and he is the girl from our Feng family. You, as a grandmother, teach her the rules naturally. No one can say anything wrong."
"As long as you are willing to work hard, you can train Shaojun in a very good manner within three or five months."
"Young Jun is so beautiful and has a generous dowry. Princess Qin will definitely be able to meet you at first sight."
Mrs. Feng calmed down a little and couldn't help but stabbing Mr. Feng: "I dare not take it as a praising me like this."
Minister Feng looked at Mrs. Feng again: "You have worked hard to handle all the things in the inner house. If you feel tired and too busy to do it, give the trivial matters to Zhou."
Zhou is the eldest daughter-in-law. In the future, most of the Feng family's family business will belong to the eldest son, and all matters in the inner house should be under the Zhou family.
When Mrs. Feng heard this, she was unhappy again: "I am not old yet, and I can handle this."
Once the power of the prefectures of the family is handed over, who will take her seriously?
Mr. Feng was dissatisfied: "I asked you to take less care of things and enjoy more peace of mind, but you are not happy. Don't always talk about it in the future."
As he said that, he stood up and said, "It's getting late, please place it earlier. I still have something to do, and I want to go to the study."
It's so late, what else can I do when I go to the study?
I am thinking about the beautiful maid sent by others, let’s add a red sleeve to the fragrance!
At this age, Mrs. Feng was too lazy to be jealous anymore, so she sent Mr. Feng out of the door and then turned around and rested.
...
At this time, Dafeng and Shen Mao were on the carriage on their return journey.
The Shen Mansion is quite far from Chengqingfang. Fortunately, Daqi has no curfew, otherwise he would have to stay in Feng Mansion tonight.
Da Feng lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Shen Jia, the son who was riding a horse by the carriage, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise his mouth: "Look at our Sanlang, we are very lively all day long."
Shen Mao was very thoughtful and said casually: "He is not young anymore, he is already fifteen, so he has to learn to be a worker. This kind of temperament should be polished."
The eldest son loved his youngest son the most, and immediately said when he heard this: "Don't force him too much. I didn't choose this year's Jinyi Competition, and I'll take another exam next year."
Shen Mao looked at Da Feng helplessly: "A kind mother is a bad son, don't spoil him too much. Look at Ah You, you are a month younger than him, so you don't need to compare your skills, and your temperament is much more down-to-earth and steady than him."
How can this be the same?
Da Feng lowered his voice and muttered: "Silang has a strange temperament and doesn't like to talk. It was because I forced him to come, so he came to Feng's house with me."
Shen You has been raised in front of him since he was three years old. In the eyes of Dafeng, this nephew and his own son are almost the same.
Unfortunately, Shen You has a cold temperament and can't say a few words a day, so he is really a little eccentric.
The Great Feng loves his nephew, not to mention Shen Mao. He only praised him when he spoke: "What's wrong with talking less? He is so steady. He is like Sanlang, and he will grow up if he doesn't have any right skills."
Of course, Da Feng loved his own son even more and immediately spoke to Shen Jia: "I still like Sanlang more."
He paused, then laughed in a low voice, "By the way, Shaojun, you saw you today. I really didn't expect that you would be so beautiful. You said, I would ask my father to let Shaojun be our daughter-in-law, will my father respond?"
Shen Mao: "..."
