After breaking off the marriage, the Zhuangyuan Lang who was picked up was dressed weakly every day

Chapter 183

Hibiscus thought Shen Yanhan was just acting on a whim.

As Shen Yanhan's closest person, how could she not figure out her wife's temperament, the softer her heart becomes, the harder her mouth becomes?As a bystander, how could she not see the ambiguous and disconnected relationship between her wife and Qin Qilang?

She thought Shen Yanhan was just talking, so she didn't take it seriously. She hesitated and answered a few perfunctory words. However, she didn't expect that a little later, Shen Yanhan would actually eat breakfast in front of the entire Shen family. The matter was solemnly announced in person.

Shen Guci choked and blushed when he heard her saying this lightly.

After the coughing subsided, he frowned and asked, "Looking for a son-in-law? Are you serious?"

Shen Yanhan glanced at him indifferently and guessed the implication of Shen Guci's words. There were very few people in the world who wanted to be a son-in-law.Moreover, as a woman, there were not many remarried women. What’s more, as a newly widowed woman, she really didn’t have much advantage in recruiting a son-in-law.

Shen Yanhan was extremely unaccustomed to how harsh this world was towards women. It was normal for men to remarry, so why was it so difficult for women to remarry?
She put down the bowl and chopsticks and said disdainfully: "Why don't you take it seriously? I'm only seventeen. I can't live alone all my life, can I? Besides, I have sound limbs and no physical problems, so why not recruit a son-in-law? The locals here in Lin'an Prefecture If I don’t succeed, I’ll find someone from other places who comes from a poorer family.”

Shen Guci stared at her for a long time. Seeing what she meant, he couldn't help it and added: "Are you still looking for a fair-skinned scholar? It's best to have a gentle temper?"

Shen Yanhan's face froze.

Shen Guci asked again: "Are you still thinking about Qin Qilang?"

Shen Yanhan immediately retorted: "No! Who cares about him?"

Shen Guci: "If you don't miss him, why would you find someone similar to him?"

Shen Yanhan choked.

She had "married" Qin Yuehuai so quickly in order to avoid Liang Yifei's persistent entanglement. Now she was thinking of using the same method to avoid Qin Yuehuai, without any specific idea of ​​what kind of person she wanted to find.

When Shen Guci asked this question, she felt that she had never forgotten her original intention.

Shen Yanhan retorted: "We are looking for a son-in-law. The gentler the temperament, the better. As for the identity...if he is a scholar, there is more hope. If you can find someone who can be a good person in the future, you can Why is it wrong? Didn’t you come from nothing?"

She looked at Shen Guci and said directly: "If I want to find a husband, I have to find someone with a conscience. I made an agreement when I got married. No matter whether I become successful or not, I, Shen Yanhan, will be my person for the rest of my life." Just listen to me and never change your mind."

These words were really rebellious, and they were obviously meant to ridicule him. Shen Guci's face turned dark when he heard this.

Shen Hui on the side looked at Shen Yanhan, the eldest sister with a very cold attitude, extremely colorful, increasingly proud and indifferent demeanor, and felt more and more unrecognizable, but Shen Yu, the young man, had always been focusing on eating and playing, and was not talking about other topics. He was not very sensitive, and kept shouting: "I want to eat the lion's head, it's so delicious."

Shen Hui struck Shen Yu's little hand with a chopstick.

"Eat, eat, eat! I know how to eat all the time. My mother is suffering. She doesn't have enough to eat or warm clothes. You have a conscience!"

Shen Yu screamed after being beaten by her, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly became noisy and weird.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hui would suddenly intervene in her conversation. Shen Yanhan naturally understood that Shen Hui was angry at her for "framing" Wen Rong. Although she did not tell the truth to her younger siblings, she would not spoil Shen Hui.

When it comes to harm, the harm Wen Rong inflicted on her was devastating. What qualifications does Shen Hui have to stand up for Wen Rong?
Listening to Shen Hui's incoherent words, Shen Guyi was about to reprimand him for being unruly, when he saw Shen Yanhan reaching out to give Shen Yu a lion's head and putting it in a bowl, saying, "Stop crying, eat quickly."

Shen Guci shut up and let Shen Yanhan do things according to her own wishes.

Shen Yu was patted on the back a few times by Shen Yanhan to comfort her, and with food in front of her, she stopped crying after a while.

Shen Yanhan then looked at Shen Hui and asked in a cold voice: "Do you know that Li Shen is a bandit leader in the Huaihe River? Do you know that Li Shen is now being detained in the Lin'an government office and personally confessed that he had an affair with your mother? Is it related?"

Shen Guci raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Shen Yanhan still knew the details.

Shen Hui was dumbfounded. How could she have the information Shen Yanhan said?
Facing Shen Yanhan's cold eyes that looked straight at her, she hesitated: "I...I..."

She couldn't say anything else but raised her voice: "You're talking nonsense! What kind of bandits? Where did the bandits come from?"

Shen Yan laughed coldly: "Someone in the Shen family has been involved in such a big thing. It's impossible that no one has informed dad, the master of the Shen family. Besides, Lin'an Prefecture Tongpan Zhao Tongpan was a Jinshi in the same year as dad. How could he have As for the friendship between classmates, you should ask dad if what I said is right."

She didn't mention Wen Rong framed Qi Yun, only that Wen Rong was involved with bandits, and she still tried her best to maintain the family's face in front of Shen Hui and her brother. Shen Guyi looked at his eldest daughter and noticed that Shen Yanhan had been growing up.

Materially, she is now fully independent, and even managed the family in an orderly manner after Wen Rong was arrested. She has also matured a lot in thinking, and although her personality is usually sharp and sharp, her behavior is no longer as impulsive as a year ago.

Everyone’s growth is marked by experience.

In Shen Guci's view, Shen Yanhan's growth came from two closely related aspects - about her mother, and about her ex-husband who died of illness.

Shen Guci, a literary scholar, had a delicate mind, and he couldn't control it when he felt emotion in his heart. He felt more and more sorry for Qi Yun who passed away. The girl Shen Yanhan was well protected.

Shen Guci's face was solemn, allowing Shen Hui to see the answer to Shen Yanhan's words at a glance.

She was unwilling to give in: "My mother won't..."

Shen Yanhan didn't have time to deal with her, so he continued to deal with her, threw away the handkerchief in his hand, stood up, and interrupted her directly: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the government office and ask Zhao Tongpan, and What’s the point of me arguing?”

After saying that, she said "I'm going out" to Shen Gu and left the table.

Shen Hui naturally didn't believe Shen Yanhan.

Wen Rong's arrest was not widely spread in the city because Zhao Si helped protect Shen Guci's face. However, Wen Rong was a sociable person in the past. Now that she has not gone to appointments and banquets for a long time, several people came to Shen's house to ask questions. Whatever happened, Shen Hui could only say that her mother was sick.

Shen Gu Ci was on duty every day, and Shen Yanhan was busy with her shop business every day. She went to the Duke of Qi's house to quietly ask Wang Zhang for help in rescuing Wen Rong, but was rejected every time.

It can be said that Shen Hui has no choice but to be anxious about Wen Rong's matter.

After Shen Yanhan walked away, Shen Hui looked at Shen Gu Ci and begged: "Dad, Zhao Tongpian is your classmate. Can you ask him to help me release my mother as soon as possible? My mother has been wronged!"

Shen Guci pursed his lips and said nothing.

There were too many things involved behind Wen Rong's life, and he didn't know until now that it involved more than just murdering Qi Yun.

Zhao Si said that this group of officials who were providing disaster relief in the Huaihe River happened to capture a bandit leader from Lijiazhai on the way, and that man was Li Shen's brother.According to the information they confessed after being taken to Lin'an Mansion, the Li brothers and sisters had murdered several relatives of the emperor when they were in Bianjing in their early years. Li Shen's identity was not simple, and he relied on a force behind him.

Zhao Si did not tell which force it was specifically. He only said that he would wait for the eldest prince to make his decision. Shen Guci guessed that Wen Rong often dated Qi Guogong and his wife, so he guessed that Li Shen and Wen Rong were with the Wang family, and now they are with the Wang family. It is related to the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion, which is closely related to Qin Lianzhi.

Although Shen Guci's daily official duties were to educate the students of the Imperial Academy and he was far away from the DPRK, the atmosphere of several conversations with Zhao Si showed that there were also vague dissatisfaction words that had been circulating among the people since the peace talks between the Zhou Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. I had a premonition that there seemed to be a tremendous change in the DPRK.

Changes in government affairs have always affected the future of countless people. Although his position is relatively stable, at this age, Shen Yanhan left home cruelly, and Qi Yun was murdered and died. The world has changed a lot. To be honest, he doesn't want to experience any more setbacks at all. He just wants peace at home and a stable job as an Imperial College official until he retires.

Only on Zhao Si's side, with someone like Wen Rong around, he had no choice but to take the initiative to talk.

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Hui urged him: "Dad, is it okay? I will go with you to ask Zhao Tongjian." Shen Guci's gray beard twitched and said coldly: "Do you think the government can handle the case just by relying on an outsider's words?" Can’t the decision be finalized?”

Shen Hui choked.

How could she not understand such a simple truth?But how can she feel at ease when her dear mother is in prison and does not know whether to live or die?
Her father seemed indifferent to this, and Shen Hui felt aggrieved: "Are we just going to do nothing and just wait for my mother to be convicted? Dad, she is also your wife, how can you just watch with cold eyes?"

Not to mention the following similar accusations, Shen Guci had already heard them from Shen Yanhan before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. They were all his biological daughters. Obviously, as Qi Yun's child and Wen Rong's child, Now because of the influence of Wen Rong's murder of Qi Yun under his nose, whether it was out of self-blame or resentment, in his heart, his feelings of pity for the two were different.

What's more, Shen Hui's words hit home. Not only did he want to stand by and watch, he also wished that Wen Rong would be convicted as soon as possible so that he could have the nerve to see Qi Yun.

Shen Guci raised his hand and slapped the dining table hard, and said in a deep voice: "Are you a loser? If your mother is really innocent, why would the government come to arrest her as a woman?"

Shen Hui was unwilling to give in: "My mother..."

Shen Guci interrupted her: "Don't mention her affairs again. Also, you should live well at home and don't go out and walk around, so as not to get more involved!"

This was when Shen Gu, who had always been gentle and gentle, looked back with such ferocity in front of them. Shen Xiaolangjun and Shen Yu were stunned by his aura and dared not swallow the food in their mouths. Shen Hui's eyes were red after being yelled at, but she didn't Dare you say anything further.

Shen Guyi didn't want Shen Hui to go out and cause trouble, so he asked sternly: "Did you hear what your father said?"

Shen Hui nodded with tears in her eyes.

Shen Guci left the table in a depressed mood. It was already a holiday, but when Shen Hui mentioned Wen Rong's case, he went to the government office again to see Zhao Si to inquire about the progress.

Shen Guci took the initiative to report the case when the bandit Li Wen entered the city. Zhao Si also knew that this classmate had an aloof character and disdained collaborating with criminals. He stroked his beard and told the truth: "That Bachelor Qi brought him from the Huaihe River I don’t know how the people from Lijiazhai came back. Now it is known to everyone in the court. Also, the people from Lijiazhai just revealed to me what happened around the first year of Yongxing. Someone came to me and asked me whether this big case is difficult to handle. Tell me, it also involves some royal family matters, is it difficult? "

It was hard for Shen Gu Ci to ask what royal family was involved, but he heard a complicated meaning from Zhao Si's repeated words, and heard Zhao Si add: "I'm afraid this case won't be settled for a while."

Shen Guci probed: "Didn't the eldest prince give you any letter?"

Zhao Si shook his head, "The eldest prince refused to see me because he was ill. Many people in the court knew what the Li family had revealed, and I couldn't hide it, so I handed the documents to the officials. It seems that this case is not limited to our small government office. It's a matter of great concern, and the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are afraid that they will intervene."

The situation was so complicated that it had already reached the official level. Shen Guyi frowned, a little worried that Wen Rong's case would involve the entire Shen family.

Seeing his sad face, Zhao Si could probably guess his attitude of wanting to be alone, and said with relief: "No matter how complicated the situation is, it still happened around the first year of Yongxing. It has been a long time, and besides..."

He handed over in the direction of Ouchi, without saying clearly that he was a current official, "I don't necessarily value this kind of thing."

Naturally, Shen Guyi didn't know that what Zhao Si was implying was that Zhao You was not necessarily going to investigate the affairs of his biological sister, Princess Yanqing, let alone the Wang family, which was now so powerful but had single-handedly supported the new dynasty. Zhao Si could only point to it. So far I dare not say anything in depth.

Shen Gu Ci said depressedly: "Unexpectedly, it involves so many things."

Zhao Si sighed and said casually: "Isn't that right? I thought they were just ordinary mountain bandits, but I didn't know there were all these twists and turns. I would say, if it hadn't been for the fact that Bachelor Qi just discovered something unusual and caught Li Jiazhai coming down the mountain Man, that man should be recognized quickly, otherwise he wouldn't be so troubled. The arrest of Bachelor Qi is the key."

After listening to Zhao Si mentioning Bachelor Qi several times, Shen Guci asked: "Which Bachelor Qi?"

Zhao Si: "Isn't it just this year's new top scholar, now the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, let's have a banquet together."

The number one scholar of any year is a person who attracts the attention of thousands of people, and it is not surprising that everyone talks about it. As a teacher and educator of the Imperial College, Shen Guyi is naturally curious about this person.Only the Hanlin bachelor did not go to court. He had heard about it several times, but had never seen the real person. He did not expect that this person played a vital role in this matter.

Being mentioned in this way, Shen Guci became even more curious about Qi Yan.

In the end, he didn't get much useful information from Zhao Si, so Shen Guci could only say goodbye and go back to wait for the news.

*
At the same time, in the Hanlin Academy, the "Bachelor Qi" who was being talked about sneezed loudly.

A kind colleague joked: "Sister Qi, your body is broken. Go back and rest quickly. I will do the rest of the edict."

Qin Yuehuai rubbed the tip of his nose and said apologetically: "I'm afraid the wind and cold haven't completely healed yet. No need. Thank you Brother Li. I'll sort out everything here before posting."

Colleagues looked at Qin Yuehuai and bowed to him with a serious face. They found that this man was polite and kind-hearted, and they had a better impression of him. They praised him: "Brother Qi is so cautious in his words and deeds at such a young age, even though he is sick. It is really commendable that we still insist on fulfilling our responsibilities.”

This colleague didn't know that he was assessing the progress of Qi Guogong's arrangements and felt that the edict for Qin Xi's appointment would be issued in the next few days. He would be more relieved to see it done in person.

His selfishness, when seen by others, turned into a noble one. Qin Yuehuai said: "Brother Li, you are too flattering. This is something that is within the scope of your duties and should be completed."

His modesty made his colleagues even more satisfied, and they went on to talk more intimately: "If I remember correctly, brother Qi must be twenty years old? Can we say we are married?"

Qin Yuehuai paused. This was the first time his colleagues paid attention to his private life.

After a moment, he replied with a red face: "Not yet."

Seeing that his handsome face turned red and his tongue was tied, his colleagues thought he was shy about talking about marriage. After all, he knew Qi Yan's background - a young student who truly came from a poor family. Although he is now the number one scholar and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he came from a poor family. , after all, I haven’t seen much of the world.

The colleague laughed and was about to ask him to be more generous when he heard Qin Yuehuai add shyly: "She hasn't promised me yet."

Colleague: "..."

She thought he was shy, but he already had someone he liked just a few days after entering Lin'an Mansion, and it was time to talk about marriage.

Now when she looked at the bright red scar on Qin Yuehuai's lip, she realized that it was not the so-called anger, but a trace of ambiguity.

The colleague clicked his tongue inwardly and couldn't help but asked curiously: "I wonder which young lady is the one who has such a predestined relationship with Brother Qi?"

Qin Yuehuai raised his hand again and said, "When we get married, I will be the first to invite Brother Li to the table."

This was a refusal to answer, and the colleague laughed dryly: "Then I wish brother Qi to return home with his beauty as soon as possible."

Qin Yuehuai smiled: "I accept Brother Li's good words."

The handsome man smiled like the breeze in May. Looking at such a talented and beautiful person with a bright future but a dedicated heart, his colleague Li felt sorry for his own sister. When Qin Yuehuai came off duty, out of curiosity, he followed her from a distance. He went up to find out whose girl had won the title of No. [-] scholar so quickly.

When Qin Yuehuai realized that he was being followed, he turned around before entering Shen Yanhan's shop and went to the "Tingfeng Teahouse" next door, leaving the person following him empty-handed.

Therefore, for several days in a row, Qin Yuehuai always went to Tingfeng Tea House after work, observing silently at the window, hoping to see the movement of the young lady in the shop next door.

But he didn't see the little lady for several days.

Mrs. Shen is busy with her headache.

　I got seriously ill recently and was admitted to the hospital for the second time. After being discharged from the hospital, I have been recovering and cannot write much, so the update has been delayed a lot. Thank you to those who still vote and pay attention every day. I will continue to write as long as my health allows.I can’t guarantee anything else about my book, but I can definitely guarantee a proper ending!I also hope everyone will take care of themselves.
