Chuchen led Mrs. You into the guest hall and sat down. A maid served tea to the two of them. Chuchen then asked, "Is there anything important to my aunt who asked me?"
Mrs. You hesitated a little and didn't know how to speak. After a while, she hesitated and said, "Chuchen, do you still remember the uncle of the Shen family?"
The uncle of the Shen family mentioned by Mrs. You refers to Shen Bai, the head of the Shen family. When she thought of this person, her face immediately calmed down. Twenty years ago, she and her mother had no way out and had to return to the old house of Shen family in Wuxing. At that time, my grandfather Shen Xuanhui was defeated and killed. Several of his mother's brothers were implicated and sent to Dunhuang County. The large area of land left by his grandfather was occupied by Shen Bai and several sons. The mother and daughter could only live in the room and suffered all the consequences. She rolled her eyes. If it weren't for the help of my grandmother, they would probably have been driven out of the ancestral home by the Shen family. This past story has always been engraved in Qianchen's heart and made her unforgettable.
"Why did my aunt mention him?"
Mrs. You sighed and said, "He has also come to Taiyuan and found your uncle. He wants to see you."
"See me?"
Chuchen sneered, "What did he do when he saw me? My surname is Zhang and his surname is Chen. What does it have to do with him?"
Mrs. You also knew that it was not that Chuchen refused to recognize the Shen family, but that Chuchen was resentful of the past twenty years ago. Chuchen once told her that Mrs. You smiled bitterly and said, "He is here to give it to me." You apologize.”
Just then, a maid came from outside the door, "The master is here!"
This is Yang Yuanqing coming. Mrs. You stood up in fear. What should I do? Chuchen smiled and waved his hand, "Auntie is not an outsider, don't worry so much."
While talking, Yang Yuanqing had already walked in quickly. Although he specifically asked him to sleep in the study, he couldn't sleep anymore. He thought of his youngest son and came all the way to the yard.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a middle-aged lady standing in the living room. He was shocked. His first thought was that his aunt had come, but he looked at him again but he was not. He seemed to know this lady, and it was Chen Xing's mother. He is also the wife of Shen Jundao, the Minister of Justice.
Mrs. You stepped forward and bowed to Yang Yuanqingshen, "See General Yang!"
"Mrs. Don't be too polite!"
Yang Yuanqing said to Chuchen apologetically: "If you have a customer, I'll come back later."
Mrs. You reacted very quickly. It was better to let Yang Yuanqing listen to the matters of the Shen family. Perhaps she could break the deadlock. When she saw Yang Yuanqing leaving, she smiled and said, "Actually, I have nothing to do. It's just that the head of the Shen family wants to see Qianchen."
Sure enough, Yang Yuanqing stopped and his eyes showed a strong interest. He turned around and asked, "Is it the Shen family in Jiangnan?"
"It is precisely, the eldest uncle of Qianchen, that is, the head of the Shen family, Shen Bai, brought a few children to participate in the imperial examination. He also wanted to apologize to Qianchen for what happened back then."
The Shen family of Wuxing is one of several famous families in Jiangnan. Of course, Yang Yuanqing was interested. He laughed, "This is a good thing! Qianchen, when are you going to see him?"
Chuchen said with a cold face: "I don't want to see this person at all."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward and that she had already brought her words, she had no need to stay, so she stood up and smiled and said, "There is nothing else, so I will say goodbye first. I can go to me if I have anything to do. ”
Although Chuchen was dissatisfied with the Shen family, she had a good relationship with Mrs. You. She personally sent Mrs. You out of the mansion, but Yang Yuanqing did not leave and was waiting for his wife to come back. He was very interested in the Shen family. The head of the family actually came to Taiyuan. Then, at this time, his daughter Yang Bing ran in, "Dad!"
She rushed into her father's arms like a bird. Yang Yuanqing loved this precious daughter the most. He could never forget the situation when his daughter was naughty when she was a child and climbed onto his neck. Now she grew so tall in a blink of an eye, Yang Yuanqing pulled her back
He pulled his daughter's braid and smiled, "Little girl, it seems to have grown taller again, compare with her father."
"Yeah!" Yang Bing jumped up and stood opposite her father. Yang Yuanqing compared her palms to the top of her head, and it actually hit her lips. He was a little stunned. He just finished his throat two months ago. Why did it take a blink of an eye?
He grew so tall, and glanced at him, but found that his daughter was on tiptoe. He laughed, bent his index finger and scraped her nose, "You little slut!"
Yang Bing laughed gigglingly, putting down his heels, but only Yang Yuanqing's throat, "I'm talking! My Bing'er is actually wearing high heels."
"Dad, what are high heels?" Yang Bing asked curiously.
“It’s just that the soles are very thick.”
Yang Yuanqing compared his fingers to two inches in thickness, "It's about that thick, wearing such thick-soled shoes makes people very tall."
"Then Bing'er also wants to make a pair and grow up early."
Yang Yuanqing gently tapped on the tip of his daughter's little nose and asked with a smile: "What are you doing to grow up early? Do you want to find a good man?"
"Dad is talking nonsense!"
Yang Bing stomped his feet, reached out and pinched Yang Yuanqing's arm, "Don't let my father talk nonsense again!"
Seeing that his daughter was anxious, Yang Yuanqing hurriedly raised his hand to surrender to her, "Okay! OK! Daddy won't talk nonsense."
He hugged his daughter in his arms and asked her again, "Have you ever met Princess Danyang? You played with her when you were a child. Don't you remember?"
"Dad!"
Yang Bing blinked and smiled, "Can I still remember the two-year-old thing?"
Yang Yuanqing laughed, "It's Daddy who is confused, but she is only three years older than you. You can go and play with her, study together, embroidery, etc."
"But what should I call her? Call her princess or Agu?" Yang Bing's face was a little embarrassed. This question made her bother for an hour.
"Call me aunt! She is your Sanniang's sister."
At this time, Chuchen sent Mrs. You back. When she saw her daughter acting coquettishly in her father's arms, she smiled knowingly. This was the scene she most wanted to see, her husband's love for her daughter.
"Bing'er, have your homework done?"
Yang Bing stuck out his tongue and said, "Not yet! I heard that my father is here, so I came to find him."
Yang Yuanqing patted the back of her head with love, "Go! After finishing her homework, Dad will see you writing in the evening, and your mother said that your handwriting is very well written."
"I'll go first!" Yang Bing jumped and walked out quickly.
Yang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing when he looked at his daughter's cute back.
"Yuan Qing, why are you laughing at?" Chuchen sat down and asked him.
"I always thought my daughter had grown into a big girl, but now I suddenly realized that she is actually a child."
"She was a child, but she grew taller, but when I was as old as her, I stopped jumping when I walked."
"Well! You will already hold my hands at that time." Yang Yuanqing said with a hint of teasing smile.
"Didn't I hold your hand since I was a child?"
Chuchen suddenly realized the teasing intention in her husband's tone. She was angry and anxious, and reached out and knocked on his head. "You dead bull head, you are teasing me again!"
He was very fast in his movements, but Yang Yuanqing flashed lightly and she knocked in the air.
Chuchen suddenly felt relieved. In the past, she knocked Yuan Qing on the head, but Yuan Qing never could not avoid it. She hit a hundred times, but now she sighed softly. She was in peace and her skills were no longer as good as before.
"Do you still want to be the Jianghuai female hero?" Yang Yuanqing understood his wife's sigh.
Chuchen shook his head and sighed: "In the first ten years, a daughter tied me up, and in the next ten years, a son tied me up. Now he added a rope for a princess. Have you heard of a princess heroine?
?” Chuchen gave him a blank look.
Yang Yuanqing smiled and turned the topic back. "I'll ask you, are you still worried about the Shen family in Wuxing?"
Chuchen understood her husband's thoughts and wanted to win over the Shen family in Wuxing. She said without hesitation: "You can say that I am narrow-minded, or that I don't care about the overall situation, but I just can't forget the humiliation that the Shen family had on me and my mother back then.
Of course, if you have to meet the Shen family in Wuxing, I will not stop you. But I will definitely not see them, and I will not admit that they are my so-called 'mother's family', Yuan Qing, please understand my mood."
Yang Yuanqing knew that Chuchen was determined and had clear grudges. If she hated someone, she would never forgive her for her in her life. If she wanted to convince her to recognize the Shen family of Wuxing as her parents' home, she might not be able to do so.
Helplessly, he had to ask again: "What if a branch of the Shen family in Dunhuang returns to Wuxing?"
Chuchen was silent, and the Dunhuang Shen family was her uncle, but she had to admit it. After a while, she sighed. "Yuanqing, can we not talk about this for now?"
Mrs. You returned to her mansion. Her mansion was located in the south of the city, covering an area of about ten acres. This is the residence that Yang Yuanqing gave to her son Shen Guang. Shen Guang spent most of his time in the army, and only the old couple lived together at home.
She has already gotten married in Jiangdu City, and her wife and children are in Danyang County, so she has not come yet.
Her husband Shen Jundao was originally the Minister of Personnel of the Chen Dynasty. After the demise of the Chen Dynasty, he was taken to Chang'an to settle down. Later, he became the bachelor of the Crown Prince Yang Yong, and then became the servant of the Han King Yang Liang. After Yang Liang failed to rebellion, Shen Jundao was completely eliminated.
Delisted from the officialdom.
Shen Jundao came to Taiyuan from Chang'an more than two months ago and was appointed as the Minister of Justice by Yang Yuanqing. He was nearly 60 years old and re-entered the official career. Shen Jundao cherishes this position very much and works very hard. He has been busy revising it during this period.
The imperial law has eliminated many severe punishments and has won praise from Ziwei Pavilion.
At this time, Shen Jundao was accompanying his brother Shen Bai from Jiangnan at home, who was also the current head of the Shen family.
Shen Bai is over 60 years old and is thin and grim. Like all families, the Shen family is also looking for the future of the family. Although Xiao Xian of Xiliang sent people to invite the Shen family's children to the Liang Dynasty several times, they were all Shen Bai.
He declined politely, and he knew in his heart that with the foundation for the Sui Dynasty to unify the world, the south would sooner or later be unified by the north, and the Liang Dynasty would not last long.
His eyes fell on the three orthodox regimes in the north. Although the Tang Dynasty was strong and the full support of the Long nobles, the Guanlong nobles were also very repulsive of the Jiangnan gentry. The Shen family had a deep understanding of this, and the Southern Luoyang was also very ruling.
The Sui Dynasty could not even solve the problem of food. Although it was called orthodox, it was a long-lasting struggle and could not last long.
More importantly, Yang Yuanqing's concubine is the granddaughter of the Shen family, which means that the Shen family may be able to take the shortcut of relatives.
Shen Baisizhi had been in a long time and happened to hear that the Northern Sui Dynasty was preparing to hold the imperial examination, so he made up his mind to bring some of the best young children of the Shen family to Taiyuan to participate in the autumn examination.
Shen Bai was talking to his clan’s brother Shen Jundao, and the housekeeper reported outside the door, “Master, the lady is back.”
Shen Bai and Shen Jundaojing were revived at the same time.
