Mrs. Feng didn't notice Shen Mao's slightly stiff expression at all, and continued talking enthusiastically: "If it were Shaolan Shaozhu, I really couldn't open my mouth. The eldest sister-in-law is arrogant and wants to climb high. The second sister-in-law has never looked down on her.
Come to our Shen family."
"On the other hand, young gentleman, both parents are deceased. A more picky family may not be willing to marry such a daughter-in-law."
"I am Shaojun's biological aunt, so I won't care about this. When we get married in the future, she will marry into our Shen family, so why not worry about having a good life. This is another happy event, and my father will definitely not refuse...
"
Shen Mao had to cough hard to interrupt Da Feng's thoughts: "Don't even think about getting married."
Da Feng was startled and looked at Shen Mao: "Why can't I think about it?"
Even Shen Jia, who looked so stupid, was coaxed into selling by Feng Shaojun, and could only happily help count the money. Shen Jia was simply not worthy of such a powerful girl.
This cannot be said directly.
Shen Mao used a more euphemistic expression: "Shaojun has lived in the Cui family for so many years, and his father-in-law suddenly wrote a letter asking her to return to the capital. I think he had already planned her marriage."
"If you don't believe it, wait a few days and you'll see the clues."
After a pause, she added: "Shaomei married into the Xie family. Shaojun is more beautiful than Shaomei and has a rich dowry. It is not difficult to get a good marriage."
Even if you don't say it directly, even with your father's snobbish eyes, he doesn't look down on our Shen family.
Da Feng heard the meaning of Shen Mao's words and said a little: "I just said that casually. If you think it's inappropriate, I won't mention it in the future."
Then, he sighed.
She's not stupid either.
Over the years, every time she went back to her parents' home, Mrs. Feng was neither cold nor warm, and the Zhou family and the Yao family didn't think highly of her either, and treated her like a mediocre person. In the final analysis, it was all because they looked down on the Shen family.
The Shen family is a hereditary royal guard. When Shen Rong was alive, the Shen family was relatively prosperous. Since Shen Rong's death, the Shen family has slowly fallen into silence and the family fortune has declined.
Shen Mao was able to be promoted to Qianhu because of the legacy of his brother Shen Rong. Shen Mao's qualifications were above average, and he was far behind Shen Rong in terms of skill and government. In the past ten years, his official career has not improved.
Feng Shilang had a rich heart and an eye for power, so he was naturally not very satisfied with Shen Mao, his son-in-law.
In the eyes of Feng Shilang, it was a real loss for the eldest daughter to marry into the Shen family. How could he allow his granddaughter to marry into the Shen family again?
Da Feng's expression was lonely. Shen Mao looked distressed. He stretched out his hand to hold Da Feng's hand and whispered: "Marry a daughter from a high family, marry a daughter-in-law with a low head."
"Sanlang and Shilang are not young anymore. You should pay more attention to the people you visit on weekdays to see if there is a suitable girl."
The Shen family is not so poor that they cannot marry a daughter-in-law. Just look for her from the families of middle- and low-level military generals.
Da Feng cheered up and agreed with a smile.
Shen Jia is their biological son, and Shen You, their nephew, whom they have raised for more than ten years, is almost like their biological son. Naturally, they have to worry about getting a wife and starting a family.
Thinking of Shen You, Mrs. Feng couldn't help but murmur a few words in a low voice: "I'm not telling you, my sister-in-law is too cold-hearted. Even if she has remarried and it is inconvenient for her to come back, she can always send people back to see Shiro."
"She's good. She only sees Shiro once or twice a year. I've never seen such a mother-in-law!"
Shen Mao also frowned when he mentioned his remarried sister-in-law Jiang.
Princess Yan was born into a distinguished family. Her father, General Yuan, was the chief general of the border army and was in charge of a hundred thousand frontier troops. General Yuan had five sons and only one daughter, whom he loved like a pearl in the palm of his hand.
Jiang's maiden name is the word for snow, and she is the daughter of General Yuan's personal soldier. This soldier died under an arrow while protecting General Yuan, leaving only a daughter. General Yuan was grateful for the life-saving grace of his soldiers and adopted Jiang. .
Jiang is two years younger than Princess Yan. They grew up together and are as close as sisters. After Princess Yan married Queen Yan, Jiang often went to Prince Yan's mansion and stayed there for a month or two.
After going back and forth, the Jiang family fell in love with Shen Rong, the commander of King Yan's personal soldiers.
Shen Rong has an extraordinary handsome appearance and extraordinary skills. He is already a fifth-grade military general at a young age.
Princess Yan took the initiative to act as a matchmaker and facilitated the marriage.
For Shen Rong, marrying the adopted sister of Princess Yan, the adopted daughter of the Yuan family, is also an excellent marriage.
Jiang's heart was full of ambition, and she was happy within the first month after entering the house.
It's a pity that good people don't live long. Eight months later, Shen Rong died protecting King Yan. Jiang was shocked by the bad news and had fetal motility. She suffered from abdominal pain that night and gave birth to Shen You prematurely.
That year, Mrs. Jiang was only eighteen years old. She was in the blooming youth. She had been mourning her late husband for three years, and she was still only twenty-one years old. Mr. Jiang wanted to remarry, and the Shen family had nothing to say. They couldn’t let Mr. Jiang stay. A lifelong widow.
When Jiang remarried, he took away all the dowry, as well as the pension money given to the Shen family by King Yan. He did not leave any money for his son.
Shen Mao raised his nephew Shen You without saying a word, as if he had an extra son.
Shen Mao's only dissatisfaction was that Jiang was too cold to Shen You, almost indifferent.
Throughout the year, Jiang only sent people to bring some things on Shen You's birthday. If Shen You wanted to see his mother, he had to go to Jiang's husband's Qiu family.
When Shen You was young, he always wanted to go to Qiu's house to see his mother. As he got older, he went less and less.
Shen You never mentioned how his own mother treated him, how could Shen Mao and Da Feng not guess it?
"Forget it, just pretend that there is no such person." Shen Mao exhaled a sullen breath and whispered: "In the future, we will marry Si Lang a good wife who knows both coldness and warmth. When Si Lang gets married, his withdrawn and gloomy temper will change. .”
I hope so.
Da Feng took a breath and nodded.
…
The cool night breeze blew on his face, and the young Shen Jia, who was galloping on horseback, was filled with passion and his eyes were as bright as stars.
He had been holding back what he wanted to say, but unfortunately it was difficult to talk while riding a horse, so he could only endure it.
I just endured it all the way to Shen's mansion.
Shen Mansion is located in Shishi Hutong in Mingyufang.
Most of the people living here are hereditary royal guards or families of middle and low-level generals. The Shen family's five-story mansion is much larger than the Feng mansion. However, in terms of location, it is really far behind.
The eldest son was working in Jiangnan, and his eldest daughter-in-law went to Jiangnan with him.
The second son entered Jinyiwei and was busy on errands. It took him ten and a half months to return home. The second daughter-in-law was less than three months pregnant and was raising her fetus in the inner house. Today she did not go with him to Feng's house.
Shen Jia dismounted, threw the reins to the soldiers beside him, and excitedly took Shen You's hand: "Fourth brother, I will sleep with you tonight."
Shen You glanced at Shen Jia, whose handsome face was shining with impatience, and refused ruthlessly: "No."
He didn't want to be harassed by Shen Jia all night.
Shen Jia didn't take Shen You's rejection seriously at all, and took Shen You's arm and went to Zhichuntang. As soon as he entered the dormitory, he couldn't wait to announce: "Fourth brother, I fell in love with Shaojun's cousin at first sight, and I want to marry her." wife!"
