Chapter 28： Family motto

This time, Lord Hou came back to visit relatives. A letter was reported to the palace, and the emperor returned to the mansion in the afternoon without summoning him.

Yang's stomach for more than five months was already showing, and he was held by Zhenbeihou before he bends down when he saw Lord Hou bowing. Under the gaze of the old lady and the children, the two people still flirted for a moment. Yang's eyes were tearful and she looked like a little girl. The old lady coughed vigorously to express some of her dissatisfaction.

Shen Wen felt that maybe it was the feeling of spring, maybe because his mother was pregnant, or maybe because his eldest brother was about to get married. This time his father came back, the overall atmosphere was not as depressing as last time.

After the father met the old lady, the children went up to salute his father, and Shen Wen once again used a baby to let his father hold him. She leaned on Zhenbeihou's shoulder and explored with consciousness, and her father's shoulder was completely healed.

When the older children saw Shen Wen going to shame again, they immediately glared at Shen Wen with hatred. Shen Wen has moved more than an inch in the past six months, she is really a big girl. No matter how cheeky she was, she felt a little embarrassed to be held by her father, twisted twice, and slipped down by herself, holding only her father's hand to pretend to be a child.

In the spring breeze, the afternoon sun is shining and warm. Zhenbeihou held his little daughter with one hand, his wife with the other hand, looking at her health and lovingly looking at her mother. He was about to marry the tall and straight eldest son, the second son with a gentle smile, and the youngest son with bright eyes. The eldest daughter was delighted for a while, and the wrinkles around her eyes made a deep smile.

Under Shen Wen's silly smile was a more calm heart: She had just learned a lesson, that is, she can't think that she is invincible just because she knows and understands. Things are done by people, no one, what can she do if she has information. If she does not act cautiously and does not plan too much, then in the future, the stronger the happiness now, the more miserable the ending will be.

Thousands of years of wandering completely broke her original thinking frame. She no longer accepts that someone can deliberately destroy the happiness and happiness of others, no matter how powerful and reason they have, they shouldn't have this right.

At the family banquet held for Master Hou that night, Shen Wen still sat cheeky beside Master Hou. She was the youngest daughter. Seeing her squeezed over, the old lady let her sit between herself and Master Hou without reproaching her.

Because Shen Wen rarely gets along with his father, he always wants to seize the opportunity to spend more time with his father to understand what kind of temper his father is, and whether he can expose the prince's conspiracy to his father in the future.

A habit developed in the army, Master Hou eats quickly, while Shen Wen is still chewing hard, Master Hou has already put down his chopsticks.

Seeing a few children put on chopsticks one after another, Hou Ye said, "Don't learn from those civil servants' homes, you continue to eat." But no one picked up the chopsticks anymore.

The old lady smiled and said, "They usually eat well, so don't worry if they can't get enough." In a word, the dinner is over.

After the meal, the refreshment came, and Hou Ye began to ask the children what they had done one by one. Starting from Shen Yi, they all reported what they did, learned what martial arts and read books and so on. When he arrived at Shen Wen, Shen Wen said that he did not read any books, but only practiced embroidery, which was despised by the children. A handful.

After reporting her homework, the old lady said that Master Hou was tired and asked the children to go back to rest. Only Shen Wen clung to Master Hou's arm and kept going, and kept saying to stay a while.

The old lady didn't urge too much. After the older children left, she said, "Wen'er has also been invited by the queen. She is going to the palace to attend a banquet."

Hou Ye immediately laughed, shaved Shen Wen's face and said: "Wen'er is old and is going to see the world."

Shen Wen was shy, and immediately put Master Hou into the category of people with low sensitivity.

The old lady sighed slightly and said: "Wen'er had a quarrel with the fourth princess and the prince. I don't know if the queen will..."

Shen Wen immediately said: "Why don't I remember having a quarrel with them? I always laughed."

Hou Ye laughed: "Wen'er is still right. My child, Wen'er has not quarreled about any major issues."

Shen Wen upgraded Hou Ye to the category of "Wooden Head".

The old lady seemed to have some doubts. Yang said: "Mother, don't worry, Wen'er is only nine years old in August this year. How old is the prince, and the empress will embarrass the eight-year-old Wen'er for little things."

The old lady shook her head slowly.

Hou Ye said to Shen Wen: "Wen'er, remember not to quarrel with others, be modest and be polite to the prince and queen!"

Shen Wen nodded his head and once again upgraded Hou Ye into the "pedantic" level. She smiled and asked Lord Hou: "Father, is the prince a good person?"

Hou Ye was taken aback, looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, he asked in a low voice: "What does Wen'er mean by saying this?"

Shen Wen said in a childish and serious manner: "If he is not a good person, what can I do?"

Master Hou frowned, and said, "Wen'er can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. The prince is the king, and the king is the same as his parents. Our courtiers must be obedient and can't violate..."

Shen Wen innocently interrupted and said, "Is you a good person?"

Yang immediately rebuked: "Wen'er can't ask this kind of question! It will cause trouble for the family!"

Lord Hou also whispered: "Wen'er, you can't talk about you, this is guilty..."

Shen Wen opened his eyes with a little fear, and asked: "Why are you guilty if you are a bad person? What can you do if you do bad things? What if you want to harm a good courtier? Is the bad person guilty or the good courtier is guilty"

Master Hou sterned and asked sternly: "Where did Wen'er hear these questions and who made you ask you like this!"

Shen Wen said in a daze, "Isn't there someone to teach you? People have good people and bad people? Bad people can't become kings. Good people are not courtiers."

Master Hou got a headache and said with a cold face: "How dare you say these rebellious things! Bring the board!"

Shen Wen immediately burst into tears.

Yang hurriedly said: "Since the incident in the Changle Houfu, I usually don’t let her go out of the house. She hasn’t seen many times, and it’s been a long time since she went to school. My child! Go to bed!"

Master Hou took Shen Wen's hand over, and said sharply: "I, Lord Shen Jiazhong, loves the country, and repays his death with death. I absolutely can't say anything like'You are a bad guy'! Understand!"

Shen Wen nodded with tears, and whispered: "What if..."

Hou Ye interrupted: "Nothing! The ruler called the minister to die and the minister had to die! Heaven and earth, the ruler, the ruler, the minister, the father, the son, and the son! The king is the king! The man who manages the courtiers and the people is the lower realm of the gods in the sky and cannot be disobeyed! You must be a good courtier, just like the father is the father and the son is the son! If the father is wrong, the son can only speak well to the father, but cannot beat the father. The son is not wrong, the father beats the son, the son can only Bear it and show your sincerity in the future. You can't complain, let alone fight back! Otherwise, you will be messed up! If the Gangchang etiquette is broken, the world will be in chaos, and people will be like animals! Do you understand this is a big deal, you can't be sloppy!"

Shen Wen nodded honestly and said, "Thank you for teaching." He called Hou Ye a hundred "old-fashioned" in his heart.

Hou Ye said to Yang again: "You can't just leave her alone. Wen'er is getting older, so you have to look more at "female ring" and the like." Yang Nono.

The old lady sighed: "Wen'er wants to learn, but I was so tired after I asked them to train them."

Master Hou frowned to look at Shen Wen who looked pitifully, waved his hand and said, "Wen'er, go and rest."

Shen Wen saluted, retreated angrily, and sighed secretly.

If it's just because he was young, it would be fine if his father didn't dare to speak the truth to him. But Shen Wen felt that his father really wanted to maintain the relationship between the emperor and his ministers and maintain his obedience to the imperial power. I have never thought about whether a person with a bad character becomes a king, whether he should plan to protect himself.

Shen Wen felt that when it came time to actually arrange the specific steps in the future, he could not tell his father his intentions. He probably had to bring his elder brothers in and planned to deal with the prince and the emperor without telling his father. What to do

The next day, Zhenbeihou watched a few children practice martial arts in the martial arts field. Hou Ye stood on a small platform, and Shen Wen wore a skirt, standing beside him very discordantly, lest others would not see her generally applauded for the wonderful actions of her brothers and sisters.

Shen Yi hit the bullseye when he rode a horse and shot an arrow. Shen Jian danced the sword. Shen Wen knew that the sword weighed more than 20 kilograms, but it looked like two or two in Shen Jian's hands. His movements were strong and swift, and he obviously worked hard. Hou Ye didn't nod to the two children, but didn't say anything.

Shen Zhuo learned the knife, but compared to his fourteen-year-old age, the sword was clumsy. Hou Ye came off the field and corrected several moves one by one.

Finally, Shen Xiang, dressed in a red short suit and leaping horse, made a gesture of marksmanship.

Master Hou is good at himself, and Shen Xiang is a beginner, and his movements are obviously unfavorable. Master Hou asked him to bring his horse, picked up the spear, mounted the horse, reunited with Shen Xiang, and slowly went wrong with her on the horse, while giving She ordered, and fought with her.

The three elder brothers stood beside Shen Wen and watched from a distance. Shen Zhuo said enviously: "I should make more mistakes and let Dad point me more."

Shen Jian said he glanced at Shen Zhuo contemptuously, but Shen Wen felt that Shen Jian might think the same thing.

Only half an hour later, Lord Hou and Shen Xiang rode back to the stands. The two got off their horses and walked back to the stage. Master Hou said to the children: "You are all good, and you want to continue practicing." The children all agreed in unison, only Shen Wen was watching with a smile.

Lord Hou looked at Shen Wen and asked, "Wen'er, what martial arts did you practice?"

Shen Wen shook his head and said: "Too tired, I don't want to practice."

Ever since he heard Shen Wen say "You are a bad guy" last night, Lord Hou has been worried about Shen Wen, fearing that this child will go wrong. Seeing that Shen Wen was afraid of crying and tired at this time, he was even more unhappy, and frowned slightly and said: "Wen'er, to live in the world, you must be able to endure hardships and sins, otherwise, how can you become a weapon?"

Shen Wen asked incomprehensibly: "Why don't you want to be a tool but not a tool?"

Someone around laughed softly, and Lord Hou sighed: "Although you are not a man, you don't have to go to the battlefield to guard the border, but as a woman, you will marry a woman sooner or later. My Shen family has been a military commander for generations, and you will probably marry a military commander in the future. Home, I should know some martial arts."

Shen Wen still didn't understand: "Why do you need to know martial arts when you marry into a military commander's house because they can beat me, do I have to fight them?"

Everyone laughed, and Zhenbeihou also laughed: "The person who dared to beat my Zhenbeihou's daughter probably hasn't been born yet!"

Shen Wen thought that he was more than just being beaten in his previous life, but strangled to death. For a moment, his eyes were wet, and he hurriedly blinked to cover it up.

Zhenbeihou also said: "Wen'er, learn martial arts to strengthen your body. In the future, you must respect your in-laws and take care of your children. If you are healthy, you will be able to take care of your family, and you will not be ill."

Shen Wen pouted: "Xiwu was so tired, but in the end he went to work for someone else's house. If I don't practice, I will stay at home in the future, and no one will marry."

Master Hou was angry: "What are you talking about! If you don't marry, you are unfilial to be a child!"

Shen Wen twisted and said: "I will be with my parents at home, how can it be considered unfilial"

Hou Ye sighed: "How did your mother teach you, I have to tell her well!"

Shen Wen immediately took the opportunity to say: "I don't know anything. I can read and can write poetry! Listen to it: the spring breeze is weak in March and many passers-by go north..."

Master Hou shook his head even more: "Such sentences can't be eaten as a meal, writing poems...what's the use!"

Shen Wen jumped and said, "It's useful! If I become a talented woman, I can marry a civil servant in the future."

Everyone laughed, and Shen Xiang pinched Shen Wen's face: "You are ashamed of you! Now I want to marry someone!"

Shen Wen cried aggrievedly: "It's not that I want to marry. Dad said that if I don't marry, I have to talk to my mother..."

Everyone smiled and hugged Zhenbeihou to have lunch together.

On the same day, every move about Zhenbeihou's home, as well as Shen Wenwen's words and deeds, which he did not become a martial artist, were reported to the emperor and the prince.

The prince laughed: "I can write poems"

An staff member jokingly said: "It's a limerick."

The prince said: "Let me tell the queen about this."

Shen Yi's wedding went smoothly, the scene was not extravagant, and not many people came. Although Zhenbeihou was the chief of the generals, few generals were invited to the banquet, lest the emperor suspect that he might be ganged up. The military attaches did not have much intersection with the civilian officials, and naturally there were not many civilian officials.

The Liu family is half-declined, and the dowry is not rich. The dowry is not carried by the family, but hired. It is conceivable that there are not many people in the Liu family.

The powerful Zhenbei Hou married the granddaughter of a former civil servant. Everyone said that this was an expression of the Hou Mansion's desire to avoid showing up. Reminiscent of what the prince did to the young girls of Zhenbeihoufu, many people sighed for Zhenbeihoufu.

Zhenbeihou Mansion is still very festive, with red silk and red lights everywhere. The food at the banquet was abundant and plentiful, and the wine was drunk as much as possible.

Grandpa Zhang from Pingyuan Hou's Mansion brought Sixth Miss Zhang Yunjin and several Zhang family children to observe the ceremony. Zhang Yunjin and Shen Xiang haven’t seen each other for a long time. After seeing the bride’s visit, they hid in the boudoir and chatted for a long time. Zhuo was very depressed.

The old lady felt that both Shen Wen and Shen Xiang were still young, and they shouldn't have a new house. After the dinner, they let them go to rest. Shen Wen didn't go to bed right away. He wore black clothes at night and hid in a big tree in the Hou Mansion. She took advantage of the wedding banquet to visit the Grand Prince's Mansion, and now she is saving others by herself, so she has to guard against it.

After waiting for most of the night, Hou Ye and Yang had gone to bed, there would be no secret meetings, and no one around came to visit the Hou Mansion, so Shen Wen went back to sleep.

The next day, the bride recognized her. Shen Wen went to the lobby early in the morning and huddled with everyone, waiting for Shen Yi to bring Liu Clan. The old lady went to the banquet, and then Hou Ye and Yang, and the children slid beside them.

Shen Wen looked quietly, Yang's complexion was ruddy and his lips were smiling. The old lady was holding the shelf, and occasionally glanced at Yang, with some unacceptable meanings. Shen Wen secretly dubbed the old lady: Who are the newlyweds, although the little ones are better than newlyweds, you can't be so blatant, think about me at the time. With the old Houye...Shen Wen just got here, the old lady really sighed, and Shen Wen almost laughed.

The old lady and the Yang family were both straight-forward temperaments. Everything was on their faces. Shen Wen sighed secretly, which made her dare not seek a parent who could cooperate with her in the house.

Shen Yi and Liu's came in, both of them were a little coy. Shen Yi always had a solemn expression on his face, which was rarely embarrassed, and Liu's face flushed even more without raising his eyes.

In the previous life, Shen Wen looked down on this sister-in-law a bit, and felt that she was not worthy of the eldest brother he admired. Not to mention the declining birth, the appearance is not so outstanding, and the daily attire is not exquisite. Soon after entering the mansion, I started to take care of things. The chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea were mediocre. It was because of good luck that he gave birth to two sons and steadily occupied the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion.

At that time, my sister-in-law respected herself, and felt that she was trying to please herself, because she was a young lady in the Hou Mansion, and she was born taller than her. The eldest-in-law prepares a dowry for herself, buys items little by little, and then verifies the gift list. That is what the eldest-in-law should do. My sister-in-law gave birth to two sons, and was very mischievous every day. The sister-in-law butler is busy, and the man in the house is the youngest, so they always bother themselves. At that time, I saw that they did not listen to discipline and could not beat and scold them. I said in my heart that if they were my own children, they would be beaten up and obediently. How could they be so spoiled like my sister-in-law...

But now Shen Wen looked at the shy Liu family and realized that this was a sixteen-year-old girl who was still studying in school in later generations, and she probably spoiled her without even washing her clothes or even cooking. Here, she entered a strange family alone, to serve the elderly, love her husband, and take care of the children in the future. In the special circumstances of the Hou Mansion, after she had a child, her husband went to the frontier, gathered little and left a lot, and did not show her much love and pity. But at the last moment, she sent away her son, and she would rather commit suicide than be humiliated, and gave everything for this Hou Mansion that had not raised her...

When Liu clan arrived in front of Shen Wen, Shen Yi whispered: "This is the little girl." Liu clan smiled and called out: "Little girl." He handed over a purse. Shen Wen took the purse and returned Liu's one, and rushed to hug Liu's, and said sweetly: "Sister-in-law! You are so good! I like you!" She resorted to the honey trick she had always used.

Everyone in the room laughed, and Liu's blushing face whispered: "I like...little sister too."

Shen Wen took Liu's smile again and said: "Sister-in-law will give birth to a son in the future, send it to play with me, I can still teach them literacy!"

These words sounded ordinary, but Liu, who had just passed the personnel affairs, blushed to the base of his neck, and only whispered "Thank you sister".

Everyone laughed again, and the old lady smiled and said: "You know now that your sister-in-law is about to give birth to a son, and there seems to be more than one'they'. Quickly, get a box of fruit for the second lady."

Yang sighed at Shen Wen: "You know how to please."

The old lady hurriedly stopped Yang and said, "Don't tell her, don't let the good things go."

The Liu family recognized their relatives, and the old lady said something happy about the couple. Master Hou and Yang family had just passed the spring breeze last night. At this time, they had to educate their two children to love each other, give birth to an early son, etc., some of them, and only said two things. Just three sentences. The whole family went to lunch together. Liu was a bride and didn't need to wait. Yang was pregnant again, so everyone sat around and happily spent the meal.

After the wedding, Yang didn't care anymore, staying with Lord Hou every minute of every day, always looking reluctant to give up.

After staying in Zhenbeihou for a few days, he went back to the north. Yang did not cry and make a lot of noise this time, because Shi Helin said that if pregnant women have too much sorrow and joy, children will have problems in the future. The Yang cried a few tears and watched her husband go away at the mansion gate. He lost his head and went to rest again.

The old lady did not force the Yang family. Seeing that the spring of March was approaching, she handed the post about Yang’s bedridden to the palace, convicting Yang for not participating in the Queen’s silkworm ceremony and dinner, but she knew that she had to carry Shen after the ceremony. Xiang and Shen Wen entered the palace for a banquet.

The four princes have been living in Qin Quan's hospital for more than a month. The rash gradually subsided, but it began to vomit and diarrhea again, making the room smelly, and the doctors who went to the doctor couldn't help but cover their noses. Judging from the pulse, the four princes were indeed weak in qi and weak, and his complexion was also sallow and dry. The doctor personally touched it, and there was no possibility of fraud.

Naibu Ding seemed to be unable to bear the smell, and began to carry the four princes on the board to the yard with Qin Quan every day to let him bask in the sun and get rid of some of the smell.

Qin Quan said that the fourth prince had a plague such as intestinal addiction (dysentery). A royal doctor had diarrhea when he went home after drinking a cup of tea there. He was also half-deadly frightened.

Attendant Ding told Concubine Jiang Shu's family that the fourth prince was critically ill, and said that in order to save the life of the fourth prince, he needed a lot of money and medicine. At this time, the Jiang family almost moved Jinshan Yinshan over, and the real money for medical consultations and various nourishing medicinal materials were sent in countless quantities, and Qin Quan kept it shamelessly. When Shi Helin saw people, he said that Qin Quan had caught a wealthy man who could blackmail him, so he tried so hard to ask for money! Shi Helin also deliberately ran to Jiang's house and volunteered, saying that he would hand over the four princes to him, and he would be able to heal him within seven days.

The Jiang family sent someone to ask what the palace meant, and the palace asked them to listen to the imperial doctor. The doctors said that the four princes are too weak, so don't move them easily, and raise them here first.

Qin Quan seemed to be afraid that everyone would not know that he got the money, and from time to time he drove his brand-new carriage to the market to buy things. Naturally, he would encounter Shi Helin many times.

Shi Helin was obviously holding his breath, and when he saw Qin Quan's carriage, he ran across the street and cursed a few words! On this day, it was obvious that the two people were walking in different directions. Shi Helin saw Qin Quan's carriage, and turned around and led his little apprentice to chase him until they ran to the carriage.

Shi Helin said loudly: "Junior Brother! Is your patient still unwell, if you continue to treat it like this, that person really can't live!"

Qin Quan asked people to stop the carriage, jumped down, and shouted to Shi Helin in front of everyone: "You always say that he is going to die. It's been more than a month. Isn't he still dead? This is mine. Excellent medical skills, he cured his smallpox!"

Shi Helin said: "Last time I said it wasn't smallpox, you didn't treat it properly, it hurt his vitality, so he was bedridden."

Qin Quan said, "That's not it! That's smallpox! I cured him. He was weak before he contracted intestinal addiction again!"

Shi Helin said: "Intestinal addiction is caused by heat. You must use cold medicine to treat smallpox. What kind of internal heat does he have and then continue to treat it like this, he will die soon!"

Qin Quan said angrily: "Senior Brother is used to being alarmist! He is my patient. I have to treat according to what I believe. I don't believe that he will die with me!"

Shi Helin also said angrily: "If you don't believe that he will die, he won't die? If you treat him like this, this person will live at most two months!" The four princes should be able to go to the ground in another one and a half months, two months. That's enough.

Qin Quangao shouted: "Just because you can't make this money, you curse my patient like this"...

Duan Zeng saw that they were arguing fiercely, leaning back on the carriage to watch the excitement, covered it with his body, and stuffed a packet of pills in his hand into the carriage from the gap in the carriage.

Shi Helin and Qin Quan were flushed at the quarrel, and finally Duan Zeng went over and helped Shi Helin's arm and said, "Master, don't be so angry, let's go ahead. The Houfu is still waiting." Shi Helin was persuaded to leave.

Qin Quan grunted and said to Shi Helin’s back: "You are only allowed to treat the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and you are not allowed to treat a rich son. What kind of brother is this?" The imperial doctor would not let Qin Quan disclose the four princes. Because of his identity, Qin Quan said to others that he was picking up a child from a rich family. After speaking, Qin Quan hummed and got into the carriage, picked up the pack of pills on the carriage in the carriage, and held it in his arms-Pegu Pills, the bone-nourishing medicine specially formulated for the Fourth Prince. This is the second one. Once approved, there is another batch, and the fourth prince’s legs should be healed.

After listening to the controversy between Qin Quan and Shi Helin, the queen who was busy with the silkworm ceremony, listened to the imperial doctor’s disdainful evaluation of Qin Quan’s medical skills, and asked the imperial doctor to continue watching in the medical hall instead of bringing the four princes back to the palace. . Wouldn't it be possible to live for "two months" if the four princes died outside, it would save a lot of tongue.

There was some suspicion in the prince's heart: how could the fourth prince's illness not get better, so let people closely monitor Qin Quan's medical clinic. But the news reported back was that no suspicious people approached the hospital at all, and Ding Nei's attendant didn't even see the Jiang family, and Qin Quan decided to accept or not accept the things he sent. But Qin Quan earned enough money and would not accept patients at ordinary times. He just kept the four princes busy, except that sometimes he likes to go out to buy things, in addition to showing up to his senior brother Shi Helin. The two people quarreled as soon as they met, and there was no act of passing things on at all.

The prince could not see the abnormality, so they just let them continue to stare, and report back as soon as the four princes come into contact with other people. He broke his head and couldn't think that what the four princes needed now was not contact with others, but lying there motionless.

Jichun is the last month of spring, the third month of the lunar calendar. Thousands of flowers spit the show, the spring is flourishing.

The queen's silkworm ceremony was held as scheduled.
