That night, Shen Yi stayed in the palace for more than an hour, and after feeding His Majesty the Emperor a full meal of cakes, His Majesty the Emperor, who was satisfied, personally sent Shen Yi out of the Manna Palace and sent a sedan chair to take Shen Yi back. At home.
After arriving home, the Shen family was naturally happy again.
What makes Shen Yi most happy is that his little daughter Sangsang can now speak some simple words. The simple two words "daddy" make Shen Yi happy.
After reuniting with his family, Shen Yi asked the kitchen to make another midnight snack. After eating the midnight snack, he returned to the room with Lu Ruoxi.
At this time, both children were being taken care of by someone below, and the couple had a rare moment of alone time.
After a long night of fighting, the couple hugged each other and fell asleep.
Shen Yi asked a lot about Ganquan Academy.
This matter was requested by the emperor last year. In order to accomplish this matter, my father-in-law, Lu Anshi, has been building Kang for the whole year this year. However, until now, the Ganquan Academy located in Jilong Mountain has just been completed. , it has not yet had time to recruit students on a large scale.
And Master Lu's only student during this year was his eldest grandson Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan had just started school and was studying with his great Confucian grandfather. His starting point was much higher than that of ordinary children.
Moreover, he also has an uncle, Tan Hua Lang, who will teach him how to read when he has nothing to do, which can be said to be an excellent teaching resource.
It was a winter night, but the bed was very warm. Lu Ruoxi lay on Shen Yi's chest and told him everything that had happened at home in the past year. The atmosphere was very warm.
It was so warm that Shen Yi wanted to speak several times, but was unable to do so.
But men still have to take some responsibility.
He patted Lu Ruoxi's shoulder and said softly: "Madam, there is something I want to tell you."
Lu Ruoxi looked up and saw Shen Yi's serious face. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous and asked, "What happened?"
"That's it..."
Mr. Shen couldn't help but scratch his head, coughed, and said, "A few years ago, didn't my husband go to the southeast to suppress Japanese invaders?"
Lu Ruoxi nodded and motioned for Shen Yi to continue.
Mr. Shen was a little confused at the moment and couldn't speak very coherently: "It's like this. In Fuzhou, due to official business, I met a girl..."
At this point, he already felt guilty.
Hearing this, Lu Ruoxi asked: "Is that woman and her husband having a child?"
"This can't happen."
Xiao Qingque said with a serious face: "The blood of our Shen family cannot be left outside. Tomorrow, I will send someone to Fuzhou to bring their mother and son back to Jiankang."
Lu Ruoxi said so many words in succession that Shen Yi was confused for a moment.
"lady…"
He whispered: "Aren't you angry?"
"If you are angry, just tell your husband and don't keep it in your heart."
"Why are you so angry?"
Lu Ruoxi thought for a moment, then came to her senses and continued: "I'm angry, husband, because you are too careless. How can you leave the family's blood outside and ignore it?"
"Also, it was a few years ago that my husband went to the southeast? You should have told me earlier so that I could have someone handle this matter."
"Now that we have delayed it for so long, people will say that our Shen family has not taken responsibility."
Master Shen scratched his head again.
There are still many things that are incompatible between him and this world.
For example, the concept of marriage.
In his heart, he always felt that Ye Chan was a third son, so he was a little worried that Lu Ruoxi would get angry because of this, which would cause a rift in the good relationship between the two of them for many years.
But in Lu Ruoxi's view, Ye Chan is not a third child.
Because the concubine and the wife are not on the same road, they are not next to each other at all.
Mr. Shen was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and coughed: "Madam, listen to me and continue."
He told the whole story about Ye Chan, and then said, "That's probably what happened."
"When I was in Fuzhou, I didn't have any other ideas. His Majesty was the one who made this happen, but..."
He sighed: "I had my own reasons for this incident later on."
"It's my fault that I haven't told my wife in the past few years."
Lu Ruoxi held his hand, shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "Husband, what's wrong with this?"
"I often get together with the imperial wives of Jiankang. In the entire Jiankang city, not to mention the third-rank officials, there are six-rank, seventh-rank officials, or even eighth-rank and ninth-rank officials. Which family does not have several rooms for concubines?"
"Our family still doesn't have a concubine, and the ladies are still talking about me behind my back, saying that I am a jealous woman."
"Originally, this year, if my husband doesn't tell me, I want to mention this matter to my husband. I want to take my Lian'er into my room as my concubine, so that I can stop those people from talking nonsense."
"Now, it would be great to have a sister from outside."
She put her arms around Mr. Shen's waist and asked, "When will my sister arrive?"
"It's probably just for the next few days."
"Well."
She buried her face into Shen Yi's chest and said softly: "I have been preparing for the past few days. I will make a yard for her."
"The Ye family in Fuzhou sent people there even during the Chinese New Year. There must be no lack of etiquette."
Shen Yi hugged her and sighed slightly: "Thank you, Madam."
Lu Ruoxi lay on Master Shen's chest, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"This is a matter within my status as concubine."
……………………
"The scum of the saint's disciples!"
"The person named Shen is not worthy of being a scholar!!"
"It is a heinous crime to coerce the Holy Will, waste people and money, and bully the Holy Sect!"
Early in the morning, there were many scholars yelling and cursing at the door of Shen's house.
They didn't know where they got the news, but they seemed to know that Shen Yi had returned to Jiankang from the north, a group of imperial students and the failed candidates in Jiankang City. Under the instigation of thoughtful people, they shouted more and more energetically,
There is quite a bit of righteous indignation.
Because they knew that the man surnamed Shen burned down the Confucius Temple in the middle of the year, and at the end of the year, he led others to confiscate the Confucius family's property!
This was an era of great reverence for Confucius.
In other words, because there is only one way to enter Confucius, as long as you study, you must become a disciple of the saint.
With a large base, there will naturally be many fanatics.
Coupled with the instigation of deliberate people, trouble already came as soon as Shen Yi returned to Beijing.
In the morning, there were forty or fifty scholars standing in front of Shen's house. Because these scholars were all somewhat literate, they shouted slogans in an ups and downs, which was very interesting.
Therefore, it also attracted many people to watch.
For a moment, the main entrance of Shen's house was blocked.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
A young official in seventh-grade official uniform pushed through the crowd and stood at the door of Shen's house. He glared at the scholars gathered around the door of Shen's house and shouted loudly: "What are you going to do!"
Seeing that he was wearing official uniform, many people took a step back, but some people still scratched their necks and shouted: "Of course I want justice for Kong Sheng!"
"Looking at you wearing civil official clothes, you should be a disciple of Confucius. Shen insulted the Holy Sect twice. If you have any blood in your heart, you should stand up and spit on Shen!"
The young official's face turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "The Confucius Temple incident in the middle of the year has been confirmed to be burned by Zhu Lizhenren. What does it have to do with my elder brother?!"
"What happened to the Kong family this time..."
This young official was none other than Shen Heng from Zhongshushe who hurried back from the palace after hearing that his home was under siege.
However, his voice alone could not be heard by so many people, and soon he was drowned in the sound of everyone.
Just when Shen Heng was at a loss, the door of the Shen family slowly opened.
He was about 45% similar in appearance, but obviously a shade darker. A young man in a black cotton robe, with his hands folded in his sleeves, silently walked out of the gate.
Shen Heng took a deep breath, stepped forward and bowed his head slightly: "Brother."
"Don't be angry with these people. There are no faults. Someone is causing trouble behind your back. They are deliberately irritating you..."
Master Shen looked calm, looked at Shen Heng, and said, "Why didn't you go to the palace to go on duty?"
"went."
Shen Heng looked back at these people, feeling helpless: "I heard something happened at home, so I took leave and rushed back."
He pulled his sleeves and whispered: "Brother, most of these people are famous, and many are still imperial students..."
Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder, with a calm expression: "It's none of your business, just go back to the palace and do your duty."
After saying this, Mr. Shen raised his head and looked at these scholars.
"My dear Shen Yi."
"I have been appointed as the right deputy censor of the imperial censor, and the minister of the Ministry of War."
"How can you teach me?"
Everyone present was silent.
Some people even saw something wrong and were ready to run away.
No one dared to come forward and talk to Shen Yi.
Mr. Shen looked back at Zhu Zhen behind him, and finally couldn't control his temper.
