Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 148

Except for her children and the old lady of the Lu family, almost no one paid much attention to Mrs. Shen's death.Shen Ruyi came back to meet Shen Mingrui a few times, probably after the second wife was kicked out of the capital and the second wife passed away, Shen Mingrui finally grew up and matured.

As a teenager, the childishness on his face has faded.Seeing Shen Ruyi, she smiled and saluted, "Sister, are you back? Why didn't someone send you a letter, so I'll pick you up? You are two people now, and you need someone to stay by your side when you are away from home. "

Shen Ruyi smiled and backed away: "Thank you Mingrui for your concern, it's okay, your elder brother-in-law sent me to the door before leaving. Why did you lose weight again? A man should not keep sinking In grief, if your mother knew about it, she would feel unhappy in her heart, cheer up quickly, and become famous as soon as possible, please seal the imperial order for your mother, and she will be able to wake up with a smile on her face."

Shen Mingrui's eyes turned red, he nodded vigorously, and followed Shen Ruyi into the yard.Shen Houye was standing in the pavilion splashing ink, Shen Ruyi didn't bother him, the little maid brought a cotton pad, she sat down beside him, Shen Mingrui brought a plate of walnuts over, and slowly squeezed the walnuts apart.

The imperial doctor said that if pregnant women eat more walnuts, their future children will be smart.Whether it is the Wangfu or the Houfu, walnuts are often prepared, or walnut-made snacks.The walnut kernels squeezed out by Shen Mingrui were placed in front of Shen Ruyi.

Shen Ruyi ate slowly, and by the time Lord Shen put down the brush, she had already eaten seven or eight walnuts.

"Why are you back?" Shen Hou asked while wiping his hands, Shen Ruyi yawned, her body became heavier, she felt sleepy more often, and her appetite increased: "It's nothing, the matter in the court, Don't you know better than me? Some people can't see that Chengwen is so idle, so they want to change Chengwen's errand, and Chengwen will come over later and ask you what you mean. "

Shen Houye sighed: "You guys are married anyway, and you are going to have a child soon, but there is something, you have to come back and ask me? Will I have to raise even your children in the future? Chengwen alone Big man, what's the matter, can't you make up your own mind?"

"He made up his own mind, he doesn't want to change jobs." Shen Ruyi said indifferently: "But, isn't that why those people are jumping like that when they see you behind? Otherwise, father, why don't you talk to me later Chengwen quarreled, let Chengwen take me and leave angrily."

Shen Houye sneered: "After you had a child, your head has grown in vain! Is this something that can be resolved after a quarrel? You are my eldest daughter, and your mother can't wait to move the entire Hou Mansion to you now." What should I do after a quarrel? Tell you not to come back forever? Or tell your mother not to visit you? Even if we don’t meet, those people won’t believe it! Hurry up and give up your idea, I suspect that your head is now filled with water and flour!"

The corner of Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched: "Father, my mother kicked you out of the bedroom today?"

Have you eaten gunpowder?

Lord Shen Hou sneered, then turned to look at Shen Mingrui: "What's the matter with you?"

Shen Mingrui glanced at Shen Ruyi, a little hesitant, Shen Ruyi got up immediately: "I'll go and see my mother first, you two talk slowly."

Shen Mingrui hurriedly waved his hands: "I didn't mean to let the eldest sister avoid it, but seeing that my uncle had a bad temper just now, I was afraid that my uncle would scold me later. Sister, sit down first, and I will go with you to say hello to my aunt later."

Lord Shen frowned impatiently: "Let her go back first, you follow me to the study, I happen to have something to look for you."

Shen Ruyi made a face at Lord Shen's back, then turned to look for Mrs. Shen in the main courtyard.Mrs. Shen was doing embroidery work, and she looked a little unhappy, so Shen Ruyi frowned a little. Could it be that the couple really quarreled?
"What's the matter? I just saw my father's expression was not very good, did you quarrel?" Sitting down beside Mrs. Shen, Shen Ruyi hurriedly asked, and Mrs. Shen sighed: "No, how could your father get along with me?" The quarrel is because of the old lady."

"Old lady? What's wrong with her again?" Shen Ruyi frowned even tighter, Mrs. Shen shook her head: "The old lady is like this now, what can she do? Yesterday the imperial doctor came to feel her pulse, old lady Now I can speak vaguely, although I still can't understand clearly, but I can still pronounce it, and I can understand it after listening carefully several times."

"Isn't this a good thing? Grandma can't make trouble now, even if she can talk, it doesn't hurt, right?" For a while, Shen Ruyi didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no need Worry.The second room has already been suppressed, and the third room can't make a fuss, and there is still a reason to make trouble, so what can the old lady do?

"She wants to tell your second uncle a marriage in person." Mrs. Shen frowned and said, Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows: "Say it personally? With her current state, can she go to see her or do something? No one can listen to her even if she talks Do you understand, or does she have some request?"

Mrs. Shen pinched Shen Ruyi's cheek: "You are still smart, she asked to transfer your second uncle back to Beijing."

Shen Ruyi frowned, because of the old lady's scandals that the second wife said, the second master and the old lady were also somewhat estranged. After the release, they almost never wrote to the old lady. It is the old lady who brought her back now What's the meaning?
"What if you don't agree?" Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows, Madam Shen didn't speak, and Shen Ruyi was a little annoyed: "Why can't she just calm down for a while? Isn't it embarrassing to cause trouble before? Besides, the second lady just passed away not long ago , It's not even a year, even if you want to continue, you have to wait first? Mingrui is still here, and she's making such a fuss, what should Mingrui think?"

After a pause, Shen Ruyi was almost speechless: "Does she really have to wait until the three sons are divorced from her before she is satisfied?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Shen was about to say something to Shen Ruyi, and Shen Ruyi was about to open her mouth when she saw Nanny Chen coming in from the outside, saluted the two of them, and then said: "People from the old lady's yard come over and talk about the old lady Madam would like to invite Madam and aunt to talk to her."

Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and turned to look at Mrs. Shen, who was also a little puzzled.Although they didn't want to see the old lady, they were very curious about what the old lady would say to them. Anyway, they had nothing to do, so they might as well go and see.

The old lady was lying on the bamboo chair, and the bamboo chair was placed in the yard. When the weather was fine, the old lady would lie down in the yard.

"You are here." Seeing Mrs. Shen, mother and daughter, the old lady murmured, her voice was so vague that Shen Ruyi could barely guess it.The etiquette on the surface should still be maintained. After saluting the old lady, Shen Ruyi followed Mrs. Shen and sat down beside the bamboo chair.

"Grandma asked me and mother to come over for something?" Shen Ruyi asked with a smile, and the old lady made a few more sentences. This sentence was too long, and Shen Ruyi didn't understand it, but Mrs. Shen understood it: "The old lady said , I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you are back, see you."

Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly, what is this?When she came back a month ago, the old lady didn't say she wanted to see anything.

"Chengwen has an errand to be busy, so I sent Ruyi back to stay for a day or two." The old lady muttered again, and Madam Shen replied with a smile. The old lady nodded, looked at Madam Shen, then at Shen Ruyi, and remained silent. It took a while before he opened his mouth. This time, even Mrs. Shen couldn't understand it smoothly.

"Second room?"

"Second brother?"

"sisters?"

"Caramel?"

Asking back and forth word by word, Shen Ruyi next to her finally understood that the old lady meant to transfer the second room back to Beijing, and then raise Shen Jiamei by her side.Shen Ruyi frowned slightly: "Grandmother, your health is not good. If Jiamei is kept by your side, you have to worry about it often, which is not good for your health."

The old lady shook her head, said something again, and continued to explain every word back and forth. Afterwards, the expressions of Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyi became complicated. What the old lady meant was that after the second room was transferred back to Beijing, There is no need to renew the strings for Second Master Shen. Anyway, Second Master Shen has two sons and a daughter. If there is a shortage of servants around him in the future, then just give him a few more concubines.

what is this?Shouldn't the old lady hate the second lady for telling her scandals?Why at this moment, instead of cheating his own son, he went to protect the child left by the second wife?Could it be that he feels ashamed of the second wife?Don't talk about it, the old lady will not feel that there is anything wrong with what she does even if she dies.Even if it is really wrong, she will not admit it.

"Second uncle is still young, not even forty. He is in his prime, so how can he not continue? If grandma is worried that the future second aunt will treat Mingrui and the others badly, why not take Mingrui and the others back?" Shen Ruyi probed Asked, the old lady shook her head: "No, if the second child does not remarry, you are not allowed to separate."

There is no need to ponder over this sentence, it will be understood immediately.

The corner of Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched, well, the old lady finally realized that she should treat her sons well.But, don’t you always cheat your eldest son to fill in for other sons, you used to be the third child, now you are the second child, and the family with the eldest should raise the two younger brothers as sons?
"Grandmother, don't worry about it. The matter of the second uncle's continuation can be done immediately after the filial piety period. If you are worried that you will treat Mingrui and the others badly, when my mother chooses, she will choose those with lower family backgrounds." Yes, so that she dare not have any ill intentions towards Mingrui and the others."

Shen Ruyi would never agree to the condition of not separating the family.So what, distant fragrance and near smell, everyone is like this, before getting married, brothers and sisters are naturally the closest, after getting married, it is the wife and children who are the closest.If they are separated, maybe the brothers can live together in harmony. If they live together all the time, there will be constant small frictions, and the relationship will be slowly consumed.

The old lady's complexion was a little bad, and she took a few breaths to suppress her anger. She knew very well now that she had no chance of winning against Shen Ruyi's mother and daughter.It's just that, in the end, I am a little unwilling.

After thinking for a while, the old lady continued: "It is also possible to separate the family. While I am still here, transfer the second child back to Beijing, and I will decide to separate the family. But Jiamei still has to be by my side."

The shock brought by this sentence was too great. Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyi didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Shen Ruyi even reached out and rubbed her ears: "Grandma, what did you say?"

"You heard me right." The old lady said coldly and seriously, and Mrs. Shen pursed her lips: "Old lady, why did you think of splitting up? Why did Master Hou and I do something wrong? If we split up, you It will not be so easy to see the third brother in the future."

I really dare not think about it. I used to hope that the old lady would split up quickly, because the second and third bedrooms were too noisy. Once the two families left, the old lady would have to rest first, no matter how capable she was.

Later, after the second and third bedrooms were suppressed, Mrs. Shen almost never thought about dividing the family. Like Shen Houye, she didn't care much about the property of the Houfu, otherwise, she would not have directly Said that he and Aunt Wang were half divided.

Therefore, it's okay to have a second bedroom and a second bedroom, as long as they don't make trouble.

Unexpectedly, she didn't even think about it anymore, and the old lady actually brought it up.what is this?Even if the family is separated, can the old lady live with Lord Shen as usual?After the second room was released, it was almost the same as a split family. If it was divided again, it would be to get the third room out.

The third master is very proficient at serving the old lady now.In the eyes of the old lady, she could only see Mr. Shen San alone.After the family is separated, what can Third Master Shen get?After leaving the Hou's Mansion, Third Master Shen will no longer be able to do things in the name of the Hou's Mansion.

Not only Madam Shen couldn't figure it out, but Shen Ruyi was also very puzzled: "Grandmother, why did you think of splitting up?"

The old lady kept silent, no matter what Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyi asked, the old lady only insisted on her own conditions.In desperation, Mrs. Shen had no choice but to take Shen Ruyi to find Lord Shen. It just so happened that Shen Mingrui had finished talking about his affairs, and left in a polite manner, leaving the family of Lord Shen to talk privately.

"I don't know why, but the old lady wants to separate the family after killing her." Mrs. Shen was very puzzled: "In the past, the family was not divided even if it died, but now it is suddenly necessary. , and dare not promise anything indiscriminately, Lord Marquis, how to solve this matter."

Lord Shen was silent for a long time before he sighed: "The old lady mentioned this matter to me two days ago. I asked someone to investigate secretly."

Mrs. Shen suddenly realized: "No wonder you were in a bad mood last night. I thought I did something wrong, so I didn't dare to talk to you." Lord Shen's complexion became even worse: "You are afraid that I will lose my temper with you. ?”

This has simply become a knot in Shen Houye's heart. Every time he sees Mrs. Shen trembling with him, he can't help but regret the decision he made more than ten years ago.But at that time, this decision was not wrong.So, my heart was constantly entangled.

Just knowing the old lady's plan yesterday, Lord Shen was very angry and annoyed. He had long since given up on the old lady, so even though he felt cold, he couldn't resist his anger.When I went back, I thought I could wait for Mrs. Shen's gentle comfort and considerate inquiries.Fortunately, Mrs. Shen almost hid herself in the wall.

Naturally, Shen Ruyi can't fully guess these complicated thoughts, but looking at Lord Shen's complicated face, coupled with Mrs. Shen's sentimental words, and contacting the way Lord Shen looked at Mrs. Shen, Shen Ruyi can also guess. Two or three points.

Coughing lightly, interrupting Master Shen's gaze, Shen Ruyi brought the topic back: "Then why did grandma separate the family?"

"Your grandmother has a list." Shen Houye hesitated for a moment, but still told the matter: "Our Houfu started with martial arts, and when your grandmother still had military power in his hands, even though you Grandpa quickly returned the military power, but those old subordinates are not going to be dismissed just like that."

"This list belongs to those old subordinates?" Shen Ruyi understood it as soon as she turned her head, and her face suddenly changed: "What does grandma want to do? Participate in the succession? Give this list to third uncle, intending to let third uncle Uncle going to fight for the merit of being a dragon?"
