Shen You made military exploits in Jizhou. After returning to the capital, he was rewarded for his merits and promoted to an official position. Now he is the envoy of Jinyiwei Town, a military general of the fourth rank.
Shen Mao is still a member of a thousand households, Shen You is only seventeen years old, and his official position has surpassed Shen Mao. A bright future is almost in front of him.
With Feng Shilang's snobbery, his attitude towards Shen You was naturally even better.
Feng Shilang asked about the story of the war. It was not a secret, and Shen You answered them one by one.
Shen You knew the truth about Xiao Feng and Mrs. Feng's "death of illness" and didn't ask too many questions.
Feng Shilang opened his mouth and left Shen You lunch.
Shen You declined politely: "Shaojun is alone at home, I can't worry, so I should go back early. When Shaojun gets well, I will go back to visit my great-uncle with her."
It's better to say goodbye. That girl could make him half angry to death with just one mouthful.
Feng Shilang chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, I always look forward to your coming back. As a family, don't live apart."
After Shen You came out of the study, he met Feng Wei.
Shen You was a little surprised by this encounter.
Feng Wei was handsome, well-dressed, and always had the air of a scholar. After not seeing him for several months, Feng Wei seemed to be a different person.
During the period of mourning, Feng Wei was not allowed to cut his hair or shave. His hair and beard grew long, his complexion was gloomy and depressed, and he looked older than he had been for several years. His energy and energy had also been drained away from him.
"Second Brother," Shen You bowed his hands in salute.
Feng Wei forced out a smile: "It's rare for Shiro to come here, so why don't he leave without having a meal at the house?"
Shen You brought out the reason just now: "Young Jun is not feeling well, I will go back to accompany her earlier." After a pause, he added: "My cousin and great aunt died of illness one after another. It is inevitable for my second cousin to be sad and sad. Just take care of yourself."
When he mentioned Little Feng and Mrs. Feng, Feng Wei's heart felt like being pricked by needles, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
Knowing that his mother died unjustly, he, as a son, had to swallow his anger without knowing it. Only Feng Wei himself understood the feeling of this.
After Shen You left, Feng Wei stood there for a moment, then turned and returned to the yard.
After Mrs. Feng passed away, everyone in the Feng family must observe filial piety.
Mr. Yao was wearing plain clothes, with a sad face. Feng Wei walked into the house with heavy steps. Mr. Yao glanced at Feng Wei and sighed: "Second Master, Wen Hao is still young. It doesn't matter if we wait a year or two to get married. But Shaozhu, I am already fifteen this year. If I wait a year, I will be sixteen next year. It will be too late to get married."
Feng Wei's eyes were gloomy, and there was some impatience in his voice: "As a granddaughter, it is natural for you to keep filial piety for your grandmother. There is no need to rush about the marriage. Even if you can't get married, the Feng family can still afford it."
Mrs. Yao was anxious and angry when she heard this, and said several times in succession: "Bah, bah, bah! You, a father, can say it out loud! There are three Shaomei, Shaolan and Shaojun, and each of them will marry better than the other. When we get here, our young lady Zhu, you have to marry into a good family no matter what. Otherwise, wouldn’t you be outclassed by them all?”
Feng Wei was full of anger and sullenness, and directed it at Yao's head: "What is a good marriage? Is it to marry into the Shangshu Mansion like Shaomei, or to marry a new scholar like Shaolan? Or to marry like Shaojun. A young and promising general?"
"Don't you look at the daughter you gave birth to? She is mediocre in appearance and has no merit at all. What kind of good family do you want to marry? Can a truly wealthy family look down on her?"
Yao's heart and lungs were stabbed, and he was so angry that he was shaking all over. He opened his mouth to fight back without thinking: "Yes, Shaozhu is not as good as some of them. Shaomei Shaolan's biological father is the prefect, and Shaojun's biological father is the salt inspector. Shao Zhu’s biological father is a useless loser who indulges in drinking and sex all day long.”
"I know clearly that the cause of my mother's death is strange, but I don't dare to say anything, and I don't dare to compete with my father. When he comes back, he will take it out on us, mother and daughter..."
"Snapped!"
The loud slap made Yao's eyes flash with stars.
Yao screamed in pain and covered his face with his hands in disbelief: "You...you hit me!"
After being married for many years, Feng Wei was indifferent to her as his wife, but he never said anything bad to her, and this was the first time he had done anything to her.
Feng Wei was furious and his eyes were as fierce as if he wanted to eat someone: "My mother has passed away. If you dare to say even a word, I will divorce you immediately."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
With a bang, the door slammed shut. Yao covered his face, his hands were shaking, and tears fell down.
Feng Shaozhu came soon. She had also lost some weight, and she was more handsome than before in plain clothes. She pulled Yao's sleeve and asked with a choked voice: "Mom, did father hit you?"
Mrs. Yao burst into tears and hugged Feng Shaozhu into her arms: "My poor daughter, why did you end up with such a biological father!"
Feng Shaozhu's eyes were red and he soon began to cry.
…
The affairs in Feng's house have nothing to do with Feng Shaojun.
Feng Shaojun sat on a chair under the tree, holding warm brown sugar water in his hand, sipping from time to time. On the small coffee table beside him, there were several exquisite plates, which contained preserved fruits, preserved meat, and small pastries.
.
Zheng's mother and Ji Xiang stayed by the side, chatting in low voices with the master from time to time.
"It's such a wonderful life like a fairy." Feng Shaojun sighed with a smile.
Mother Zheng was half joking and half joking: "With such a leisurely and contented life, are you still willing to leave, Miss?"
Feng Shaojun smiled sweetly: "It's good to have such a good life every once in a while. It's not interesting if it's like this every day."
Mother Zheng sighed secretly.
Hearing these words, the young lady won't be free for a few days and has to leave.
Shen You was not in the capital before, so that was it. Now that Shen You is back, the lady is still "uneasy in the house". Will Shen You feel unhappy?
Mother Zheng was a little worried and whispered: "Will my uncle be unhappy?"
Feng Shaojun smiled: "He goes to the East Palace on weekdays as an errand. When he takes a bath, I will come back together."
Mother Zheng knew that Feng Shaojun secretly took Bizi Decoction. In fact, it was Mother Zheng who made the medicine. She glanced at Feng Shaojun's flat belly and lowered her voice: "I have been taking Bizi Decoction for a long time, right?
I’m not in good health either.”
Yes, another one urging her to get pregnant and have a baby.
Da Feng urged me, my adoptive father urged me, and now even Mother Zheng is urging me to do it.
Feng Shaojun said coquettishly: "I don't want to hear this."
Mother Zheng immediately changed the subject: "It's almost noon, what do you want to eat, young lady? I will go to the kitchen right now and let the cook prepare the food."
While joking, Shen You came back.
Shen You walked up his long legs and sat down next to Feng Shaojun. He automatically brought the plate over, picked up a piece of preserved fruit, and handed it to Feng Shaojun's mouth.
Feng Shaojun opened his mouth and ate the preserved fruit.
Shen You took another piece of dried meat and brought it over.
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and smiled, then took a piece and stuffed it into Shen You's mouth. A smile flashed in Shen You's eyes.
Ji Xiang silently turned around and looked at the sky.
She didn't eat anything, so why did she feel full!
