At the end of the sentence, Feng Shangshu even showed a hint of pleading in his eyes.
This old fox can keep his composure and bend down. If he is a little soft-hearted, he will lead him by the nose.
Feng Shaojun neither said it should be nor said that it was not the case, and he said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Why, the descendants of the Feng family are not living up to expectations? How about your great-uncle begging me, a married woman, to take care of you?"
Feng Shangshu was stabbed in a painful spot again, and he couldn't help but let out another long sigh.
This sigh came from the bottom of my heart and was definitely not fake.
He had outstanding reading talent when he was young, and he won the Jinshi early. He started as a minor official in the sixth and seventh ranks, and became a minister in decades.
The three sons and two daughters each have their own merits. Even the second son, who is the most useless, was also successful in the imperial examination. Unfortunately, when it comes to grandchildren, not even one can support the family.
Feng Wenyan had been studying for many years, but he still only had the reputation of being a scholar, and had no hope of becoming a scholar. Feng Wenhao was a promiscuous man, hanging out with concubines and maids all day long. Feng Wenli, who was born in a concubine, was not a good scholar. After failing twice, he took the initiative to take over.
Take care of the household chores.
Even if the descendants of a distinguished clan are useless, they still have hereditary titles and wealth. The situation is different for civil servants. No matter how high the official position is, once they retire and become officials, and if their children and grandchildren fail to live up to their expectations, the family will soon become silent.
Feng Shangshu is also nearly seventy years old. How many more years can he last? When he becomes an official, the Feng family will be completely in decline within a few years.
Among the grandchildren, the smartest, shrewdest, most powerful and most like him is Feng Shaojun. If Feng Shaojun is willing to take care of his natal family, with Shen You's current status, it will not be difficult.
The premise is that Feng Shaojun has to put aside his past grudges and soften his heart.
Feng Shangshu's eyes were red, and he actually shed two old muddy tears: "Young Master, my grandfather is begging you today. I can't write two characters of "Feng" in one stroke. Just accept my grandfather's request!"
Feng Shaojun was leisurely watching the old fox act, and asked slowly: "Uncle, do you still remember the rumor that Xie Shangshu told?"
Without thinking, Feng Shangshu immediately said: "What rumors? Shen You is a bloodline of the Shen family and has nothing to do with the emperor. It is clear that some people are jealous of Shen You's rise to prominence and are deliberately discrediting these rumors. If anyone dares to say it in front of me in the future
For this, even if it's my in-laws, I still have to scold him angrily!"
Feng Shaojun chuckled: "I have written down everything my uncle said. In short, if any unpleasant rumors spread, I will remember them all on the Feng family."
Feng Shangshu: "..."
He, an old fox who has been practicing for several years, is already getting old.
The Feng Shaojun in front of him was in his prime, with sharp claws and teeth. Even he had to bow his head slightly.
Fortunately, there was no one else around at this time, so no one saw him being a bit lazy. It was not a shame to be mocked by his granddaughter.
Feng Shangshu quickly made up his mind and nodded: "Okay, grandpa will accept you."
Feng Shaojun still didn't give an accurate answer, and just said lightly: "It doesn't matter, even if my uncle forgets, my memory is very good. Moreover, I am a petty person, and I hold grudges the most. Anyone who offends me will have to wait for ten seconds.
In eight years, I will have to pay it back tenfold and a hundredfold."
Grandfather and grandson fought, and Feng Shangshu was completely defeated.
Feng Shangshu smiled bitterly, said nothing, turned around and left the study first.
Feng Shaojun's eyes were slightly cold, and he followed him out of the study unhurriedly.
…
The grandfather and grandson returned to the inner hall again.
For more than half an hour, Madam Feng had been holding her heart high, and it was only at this moment that she relaxed a little. She first glanced at Feng Shaojun quickly, and Feng Shaojun smiled and nodded slightly.
Then Mrs. Feng looked at Feng Shangshu again: "It's a rare visit to the Shen Mansion for my father today. I will order the kitchen to prepare some good wine and dishes, and let some of my great-grandchildren have a good toast today."
Feng Shangshu had already collected all his thoughts and nodded happily.
Shen Mao, Shen Mo and his son have both gone on errands. Aren't there only a few great-grandsons left in the Shen family?
Look at the heroic Shen Jin, look at Shen Xu who is about to enter the palace as his grandson's companion, look at the lively and lovable Shen Yu, even Shen Yan, who is being held in the arms of the nanny, looks particularly smart.
With so many outstanding sons and daughters, the Shen family is completely prosperous.
Feng Shangshu subconsciously glanced at Feng Wenyan and other grandchildren behind him, and sighed deeply in his heart.
Not only Feng Shangshu had such emotion, Zhou and Yao families also felt different in their hearts.
There are four Shen brothers, each one more promising than the last. Shen Lin, Shen Mo, and Shen Mo are all fifth-grade generals, and Shen You is already a second-grade general. Shen Jia, who used to be looked down upon, has actually been promoted to a third-grade general. .
Do you think you are angry or not?
You said Yao has no regrets in his heart?
That day, a dog looked down upon others and missed this wonderful son-in-law. Over the years, Yao felt annoyed every time he thought about it.
After lunch, Feng Shangshu went to the government office first. Zhou family Yao family took their children and grandchildren back to Feng Mansion. Sitting on the carriage, with wrinkles on her forehead and eyes, Yao family said sourly: "Look at the Shen family, it has only been more than ten years. The situation prospered."
Zhou glanced at Yao: "The future of military generals depends on the lives of their own children and grandchildren. The two brothers Shen You and Shen Jia stayed in the border army for eight or nine years, training and fighting all day long, and they didn't know how to eat. They have suffered so much and been hurt so much. When you only look at their beauty, why don’t you think about how their future came about?”
"If there is a chance now, would you be happy to let Wen Hao join the border army?"
Yao shi shut up angrily.
…
After the guests left, everyone in the Shen Mansion went back to the courtyard to rest.
Da Feng gave a look and asked Feng Shaojun: "Shaojun, what did you and your grandfather say when you went to the study?"
Feng Shaojun responded with a smile: "My uncle specifically asked about things over there in the border town."
Da Feng obviously also knows his own father very well: "He would not come here specifically just to care about you and your wife. He must be asking for something from you. Does he want you and Shiro to take care of your useless cousins?" ?”
Therefore, you can’t underestimate anyone. Mr. Feng’s heart is also open!
Feng Shaojun was reluctant to criticize the old fox in front of Mr. Feng, but he smiled and said nothing.
Da Feng said helplessly: "Your grandfather is also old. According to the rules of Daqi, a minister must retire from office when he is seventy. In two years, he will have to step down and serve as an official."
"Your eldest uncle has had a mediocre official career over the years, and now he is only a fourth-rank magistrate. It's okay not to mention your second uncle. Wenyan and his three brothers all have mediocre qualifications. It's no wonder that your grandfather is not anxious."
Feng Shaojun heard something about it: "It seems that my uncle has told his aunt before about taking care of his nephew?"
Mrs. Da Feng sighed: "They are all my biological nephews. How can I not want to take care of them? However, I don't have any say in this matter. It has to depend on your wishes."
