At that time, Shen Shuangcheng was already engaged to Guo Hanyue. He knew very well the Shen family's style of doing things and knew that they had the overall interests in mind and would never leave this bastard behind.
A few years later, Guo Hanyue married into the Shen family with a red dowry of ten miles, and everyone in the Shen family praised her as a jewel. Shen Shuangcheng only showed his true colors after two years of love drama, and let Guo Hanyue adopt Shen Shu as his eldest son.
How could Guo Hanyue, who had been loved by many people since childhood, endure such deception and insist on making trouble? Shen Lie was already born at that time, and Shen Shuangcheng directly threatened her with Shen Lie.
Guo Hanyue was accustomed to having smooth sailings. When she saw a vicious person for the first time, she was so frightened that she had no choice but to put up with it, but she would never agree to accept Shen Xu.
When Shen Shuangcheng saw that Guo Hanyue was fierce and timid, his original worries disappeared and his arrogance gradually became more and more arrogant. He began to blatantly favor Shi Yingying and embarrass Guo Hanyue.
Guo Hanyue suffered from heart disease and was bedridden. The Guo family finally knew the cause and effect, and became furious and pressed the Shen family.
Mrs. Shen scolded Shen Shuangcheng angrily, and even fed Shi Yingying to death with a bowl of poison.
Shen Shuangcheng hated Guo Hanyue even more. Within a year, Guo Hanyue also died. Xia Zhaoyi didn't know the cause of death, but it was definitely related to Shen Shuangcheng.
Shen Lie was already eight years old at that time, and the Guo family strongly wanted to take Shen Lie away. Since then, Shen Lie has been living in Zuilu Guo's house for a long time.
It is strange to say that the adults fought to the death and wanted to eat each other alive, but the brothers Shen Zhen and Shen Lie had a very good relationship.
From what Xia Zhaoyi heard, it was probably that Shen Shuangcheng would often beat Shen Lie severely in order to blackmail Guo Hanyue, and every time Shen Shu would help to plead for mercy and stop him.
Even once, Shen Lie escaped and was kidnapped, but it was Shen Shu who chased him back and took a beating for Shen Lie.
This matter was something Xia Zhaoyi heard from some mothers three years ago when she was eating melon seeds behind Dingguo's mansion. She just thought it was a storyteller's storytelling, which was just fun to listen to.
Qingyun went all the way to the northeast, and the villagers he saw on the road had sad faces on their faces.
The moon was hanging, and it was particularly bright tonight. Xia Zhaoyi felt sleepy. She looked around, trying to find a place to sleep.
The land is vast, and when viewed from a high altitude, there are only cities, mountains, and rivers in the thin night. People are like tiny gravels, and those torch lights are as small as one or two dots.
On the narrow dirt road four miles south of Xia Zhaoyi, several horses were waiting there with torches held high.
After waiting for a while, a carriage finally appeared in sight.
Lanterns were hung high around the carriage, which was swaying.
When the carriage approached, a man on horseback rushed to greet him: "Master!"
Shitou stopped, and Shen Lie sat alone in the carriage without lifting the curtain and asked, "Shou Shi has really closed the city?"
"Yes, let's stay in Rongshan Village tonight. We have arranged a place to stay."
"Yes," Shen Lie responded, "Stone, let's go."
The carriage continued to move forward, followed by the men on horseback.
There was a faint smell of vanilla in the car, which was not there before.
There was a bundle on Shen Lie's other side. After Dai Yu brought it back, it was loose and it looked like it had been torn apart.
Shen Lie took a look at it, tied it a little, and put it aside.
The clothes were washed very clean, seemed to have been soaked in vanilla juice, and then exposed to the sun. The fragrance was light and elegant, lingering in the entire carriage, not strong, but almost there.
The carriage got off the dirt road and walked onto the road paved with square stones, going a little faster.
Shen Lie said, "Grandpa, are you angry with me?"
"Nothing." Feng Ze said, "The old man has been busy with the famine recently."
"The situation is very serious, the city of Shoushi has been closed down."
"Well, many of the old lady's old friends have written to ask the old lady to help donate supplies. The old lady is also writing to others for help, but when we came, the old lady was not in a good mood."
"What's wrong?"
"Several of the old lady's old friends are among the refugees from the famine... Also, I heard that the Song family in Anjiang seems to have the intention of rebelling..." At this point, Feng Ze's voice was extremely low.
Shen Lie raised his eyebrows: "Anjiang Song Zhiyi?"
"yes……"
Rangers became popular in Daqian, and many children of aristocratic families admired this. For example, Guo Shu liked to travel around the world with a sword when he was young. After visiting some famous places, he even liked to drink and write poems, and he called himself a leisurely traveler.
He has a wide network of friends and has friends all over the country. He even has close friends in the Northern Desert.
Song Zhiyi and Guo Shu had known each other for thirty years in Anjiang. If Song Zhiyi wanted to rebel, he would have to try his best to win over Guo Shu. Dragging Guo Shu into the water would be equivalent to dragging Guo Shu's dating network into his own. head.
In the prosperous times, most people would shy away from the idea of rebellion, for fear of mentioning these two words. However, in today's troubled times, with corrupt government and treacherous ministers in power, there are more than one or two people who have the intention to rebel and have already committed acts of rebellion. Already.
Therefore, Shen Lie was not particularly surprised when he heard it.
However, now that Feng Ze said that his grandfather was not in a good mood, he probably didn't agree with it.
The night wind picked up, and a corner of the car curtain was blown open, and a faint aroma wafted out of the car.
Feng Ze took a sniff and asked, "What kind of smell is this? It smells so good."
There was silence all around, no one answered, and the young man sitting in the carriage didn't speak either.
The silence was a bit awkward. Feng Zeqian smiled, tried to lighten the atmosphere, and said, "It really smells good."
The light of the torch passed through the curtain. Shen Lie looked at the little bundle next to him and said calmly: "How can it be possible at such a young age to have so many clothes? A woman must have washed these clothes for her."
"ah?"
"It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Now that the world is so chaotic, she still dares to wander outside alone. I don't know what to say about her."
"Master, what are you..." Feng Ze said.
Shen Lie raised his head and said, "Stone, lift the curtain."
The curtain was opened, and the evening breeze poured in.
"It's nothing," Shen Lie said, "just a little girl."
At the same time, in the big ship going upstream, in the brightly lit cabin study, a young woman frowned and said, "Little girl?"
"Yes." Shen Xu smiled, "Can't you guess?"
"It's not that it's impossible to guess, but it's impossible." Rougu said, "There must be an expert behind her to guide her."
"Look at this." Shen Xu pulled out a board from his sleeves.
Rougu's brows furrowed even more tightly, with a puzzled look on her face: "This is..."
A wrinkled wooden board with half the character "通" on it.
"I stole it from Zhiyan," Shen Shu said with a smile, not blushing at all because of this ridiculous thing. "What do you think of this word?"
Although there is only half of it, the momentum and skill are enough to see.
"Are you going to say that it was written by that girl?"
