Step-Mother has Given Up

Seeing the emperor's heart burned, Ye Shaofu said: "Just as the emperor thought, five years ago, you sent me to Yangzhou to investigate the salt tax case in Lianghuai, and saved the two brothers on the road. When I saw them, I just I feel that they are the children of Princess Mingyue, and the guards and servants who protect them are dead. If they hadn’t met me, would they have survived. You also know the situation in Yan, and it’s not a good idea to bring them to Kyoto. It must be safe, so I thought of a way to put them to death and live afterwards, so that everyone in the country of Yan thought that they were dead, and only then escaped a catastrophe.

Seeing that the emperor was not upset, he continued: "Later Madam wanted to", so he adopted them as a matter of course. As for why you didn't tell you, you must know that they are the children of Princess Mingyue, and they must come to look for them when they leave the country of Yan. Your uncle, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, two children just appeared beside you, or you are no longer looking for the whereabouts of the two children, what would those people in Yan think? The situation is serious, I have to take it seriously. Madam. They are like beings who have never abused them. The emperor can rest assured."

The emperor’s eyes flashed, and he sighed: “I’m sorry that Mingyue didn’t even keep her children. Madam Shen taught them very well. I’m grateful that it’s too late, so how can I blame it.”

He said that he got up and bowed to Shen Yanmo, so scared that Shen Yanmo hid aside, and said with sincerity: "The emperor, the courtesan adopted them only when they saw them pitifully. They don't know their identities, even if they are not Princess Mingyue. The minister’s children will also adopt them, so you don’t have to, the minister’s wife can’t afford it.”

"No, you can afford it. I think Mingyue’s child has died. I regretted and blamed myself for these years. The queen mother was seriously ill for this. If she knew that the child was still alive, the mother’s heart would be better. If I choose, I won't let Mingyue and relatives end up with a rosy face and death." The emperor said.

If Shen Yanmo was born a few years earlier, and the country is prosperous, the people are strong, how could Mingyue go to make peace. He was sorry for Mingyue.

At this time, Mother Liu came over and stood at the door and asked, "Madam, the guests are almost here, and the hour has come. Can the table be opened?"

The emperor wiped his eyes and barely squeezed a smile: "Just do what you do, don't worry about me, I just come to join in the fun, you can treat me as a normal guest."

"You stay here first, you are going to show up, no one can eat this meal comfortably. I will go to the front yard to greet the guests, and my wife will go with me." Ye Shaofu naturally took Shen Yanmo's hand and walked out. Go, as if to be the male owner of this house.

As Ye Shaofu said, the table was full of people, and the scene was very lively. Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise it would be a joke. There are princes and ministers, and there are also madams.

Those ministers were calm, and when Ye Shaofu came forward to entertain them, they guessed that the people in Shen's Mansion were not ordinary. They were all intent on making friends, thinking about turning their heads and letting their wife walk around.

When those ladies saw Shen Yanmo's warm greetings, they wanted to know if the emperor really came. Shen Yanmo didn't dare to say. As far as left, those people couldn't make any useful information, so naturally they stopped talking. They also felt that Shen Yanmo was just an imperial merchant. Even if there was an imperial character in front of him, he was also a merchant, since ancient times. Agribusiness, businessmen are not influential.

Shen Yanmo did not expect Princess Mingxia and Wen Wan to also come. When Princess Mingxia came, Shen Yanmo could guess what she meant, but Wen Wan also came, which made people confused. However, Shen Yanmo pretended not to know the two of them, so that he would be a good waiter, and moved to another place to greet other ladies.

"Mrs. Shen, do you still recognize me?" Shen Yanmo had just left the banquet and was about to see Brother Yu and the others. He heard a tender voice calling her, and saw a ten-year-old child standing not far away.

This child has a face full of flesh and flesh, and his fat body is wrapped in a golden dress. There is a feeling of disharmony, a robe worth dozens of taels, it feels like he has been pierced out of a sack.

Ten years old, fat into a ball, is Gu Chang? A small figure flashed in Shen Yanmo's mind, with round cheeks, a bit of baby fat, and round eyes with a smirk. This smile seemed to be sarcasm and contempt, which looks like now that the eyes are slender, and then smile again. There is a seam, and the black eyeballs are no longer visible.

How did this ghost look become.

Shen Yanmo pretended not to know each other, and tentatively asked: "Which little boy are you from. I just came to Kyoto, and I have just arrived. I don't know many people, so I still look at Haihan."

"I'm Gu Chang." Fat Ball said embarrassedly.

Shen Yanmo pretended to be surprised: "You are Gu Chang. How could it be possible that your weight was normal five years ago, but you haven't seen you in five years. How did you become this look? I remember that Wuchang Houfu was a military commander. You should also If you know how to do it, how can it be impossible to become like this?"

Gu Chang bit his lip, hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, I also tried to lose weight. Whether it is exercise or diet, the weight will only increase but not drop. I heard that the lady is skilled in medicine, can you help me see it?" Ashamed, he lowered his head and whispered: "I used to be wrong. Please also ask my wife to diagnose and treat me for the sake of seeing my young and ignorant." After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Shen Yanmo expectantly.

Ever since he became fat, no one in Kyoto's elder brother liked him, and he was disdainful and mocking when he mentioned him. He tried various ways to lose weight, but failed in the end. Gu Chang was very sad, he didn't want to get fat, he didn't want to be laughed at.

A few days ago, he went to see the doctor in Ji Shitang. The doctor also said there was nothing he could do. Finally, he told him that Lady Shen and Doctor Xue from Yangzhou might be able to cure him. Gu Chang knew about Dr. Xue. He was poisoned when he was a child and he was cured by learning God. However, Dr. Xue was far away in Yangzhou, and the distant water could not save the nearby fire. He didn't want to wait any longer.

The doctor of Ji Shitang told him that Mrs. Shen was coming to Kyoto. He sent someone to inquire and found out that Lady Shen was his former stepmother. Hearing her deeds, Gu Chang felt mixed, she was so powerful and gentle, what would happen if she didn't leave the Hou Mansion?

Gu Changgui sent a **** to Shen Mansion just to see Shen Yanmo, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Shen Yanmo looked at the little fat ball in front of him, and said with a smile: "Wuchang Hou has a lot of magical powers and he knows countless capable people. I think it will solve your worries."

Gu Chang heard that Shen Yanmo was unwilling to help, and said eagerly: "The doctor at Ji Shitang said that you can treat it, please help me see it."

Just as Shen Yanmo was about to speak, he saw Wen Wan approaching here, followed by two girls behind him. She raised her eyebrows and said to Gu Chang, "Your stepmother is here. I have to visit my children. I will not be with you. If you really want to see a doctor, come back another day. Today is the birthday of the dog. It's really inconvenient."

Gu Chang thanked him again and again, and said that he must come to visit another day. He and Brother Yao are friends. Maybe they haven't seen each other for a long time, and they miss him very much.

Shen Yanmo was noncommittal, smiled indifferently and turned away.

Wen Wan hurriedly called her: "Mrs. Shen, please stay."

Shen Yanmo turned her head and said in a polite manner, "Will Madam Wuchanghou have other things?"

Wen Wan stepped forward, smiling all over her face, and said in a familiar tone: "Sister, what are you going to do, why is she leaving when she sees me here? Do you think that I am taking your place, so I hate me, so I don't want to see me? of."

There is a distance from the banquet here, and no one can hear it. Shen Yanmo was too lazy to act with Wen Wan: "You think too much. My son is eating with His Royal Highness. I, the master, will naturally have to go and see it. In case I don’t entertain well and neglect the distinguished guests, it’s me. Not anymore."

These words tell Wen Wan that she has climbed to the emperor's position, and despises the Wuchang Marquis.

She swallowed her anger for many years, and wanted to show her strength in front of Shen Yanmo. Who knows how she was choked, how reconciled, after calming the anger in her heart, took a look at Gu Chang, endured the nausea and took Gu Chang's hand and said: "It is said that my wife is good at medical skills. My aunt has got obesity. Please check it out. If it can be cured, the Hou Mansion will reward you with silver."

She spoke to the Hou Mansion and closed her mouth to admire the silver. This was to tell Shen Yanmo that even if she had climbed to the emperor, she would be just a lowly doctor and could not be compared with the Hou Mansion.

Shen Yanmo knew countless people, and naturally saw her thoughts, and chuckled her lips slightly: "What about Mrs. Hou's house, life is not easy without the support of her natal family." The words did not give a chance to refute gently, and turned away. NS.

Wen Wan was so angry that she twisted the veil in her hand, gritted her teeth and looked at Shen Yanmo: "What are you proud of? In a few days, let me see how proud you are." How about you climbing the emperor, how about your son climbing the prince, you Sooner or later, you will beg of me, and it will see how arrogant you are, not to offer your family property, and don't want to make your sons and daughters feel better.

Gu Chang glanced at the gentle and ferocious face, and made up his mind. Turning around, he must remind Mrs. Shen to beware of Wen Wan. His aunt seemed gentle and generous, and her heart was broken.

"A business woman can't handle it, what else can you do?" Princess Mingxia stood behind Wen Wan, her voice full of disdain, and the figure looking away at Shen Yanmo was even more vicious.

Brother Ye really fell in love with that bitch, how else would he help entertain the guests, just like the male host of this mansion, a woman who is still with a child, how can he get the love of Brother Ye? Brother Ye belongs to her. No one is allowed to get involved.

Wen Wan and Princess Mingxia are the same raccoon dogs, both of which have lost their natal family. Therefore, it can be said that they are sympathetic to each other and feel sympathetic to each other. Wen Wan didn't get annoyed when she heard this, and smiled: "Behind the family is the emperor, and the king is backed by King Jing. I am just an unfavored lady of the Hou Mansion. , I have to be inferior, who makes me useless."

She pretended to wipe her tears with her kerchief, but Yu Guang looked at Princess Mingxia. Sure enough, seeing the princess Mingxia's face is ugly, Wen Wan was happy, what about she is the superior princess, she is not like her, not having a good time in her husband's house. Although they were allies, they did not prevent her from poking Mingxia's heart. Sure enough, King Jing was a thorn in her heart, and no one could touch it.

Wen Wan saw that Mingxia County had a major attack, and quickly said with a smile: "I have an idea, I will definitely not let her get better, and you will see it again in a few days."

"What's the idea?" Princess Mingxia reluctantly cheered up.

Wen Wan glanced at Gu Chang on the side. Seeing Gu Chang squatting on the ground to count the ants, she didn't hear their conversation at all. She felt that Gu Chang would not like Shen Yanmo's children. After all, they are brothers and will be in the marquis house in the future. The family property also unscrupulously said, "His son is the seed of Lord Hou. Since he is the seed of Lord Hou, how can he live outside? As long as he enters the Hou Mansion, I will be their aunt. After all, when you talk about it, what will happen to our Madam Shen who has been praised by the emperor."

No matter how free the emperor is, he can also intervene in other people's housework.

Upon hearing this, Princess Mingxia was immediately happy: "We will have to walk a lot at that time." If the two **** collide with her, let's see how she cleans them up.

Their wishful thinking was flicking, and Gu Chang, who was on the side, had a chill in his back, thinking about how to report to Mrs. Shen. These two vicious women wanted her to harm her.

Everyone thought he was fat and stupid. Gu Chang didn't care too much, and continued to pull the ant with the branch handle, saying something in his mouth: "Little ant go home quickly, go to your mother, tell your mother that there is a bad person outside, stay at home and don't come out." The voice was low, and he said. Fast and fast, Gu Yun and Princess Mingxia didn't hear clearly. They felt that Gu Chang was stupid, so they left him with people talking and laughing.

Seeing them leaving, Gu Chang glanced at the direction of Shen Yanmo's departure, hesitated for a moment to catch up.

He was not familiar with Shen Mansion. After looking for it for a while, he saw several children on the water pavilion in the distance. He guessed it was Brother Yao and the others. They ran over with thick short legs, bending over and panting. Brother Yao, Brother Yao, someone is going to stumble your mother, please tell Madam Shen. "This body is as stupid as a pig, and he collapsed after running a few steps. Gu Chang is really tired of being like this.

Brother Yao and the others were talking about the embarrassment when they were young. They suddenly saw someone running in, but they didn’t recognize them. They were all vigilant, got up and huddled together and stared at Gu Chang and asked, "Who are you and who allowed you to come here? of."

There were a few secret guards around, looking after the prince’s safety, and a few knew Gu Chang, so they didn’t stop.

Gu Chang straightened up and said anxiously: "I'm Gu Chang, Brother Chang, we played together in Yangzhou, why don't you recognize me." Thinking of his fat body, he lowered his head in shame and looked at himself chubby. I can't see my toes in my stomach, and I feel even more ashamed.

Brother Yao frowned, walked a few steps closer, and looked up and down Gu Chang. He didn't see a trace of what he used to be, and he didn't dare to believe in him: "You are Gu Chang, how could it be possible? Why are you so fat?"

Brother Rong also remembered who Gu Chang was, but he was the one who had bullied his mother. He watched around Gu Chang a few times, and sneered, and said with a sneer: "You have the face to go out like this, and you are also number one in the world. people."

When Gu Chang heard this, he wanted to find a place to sew in.

"Brother Rong is going to talk nonsense." Shen Yanmo changed her dress and came to look for a few children, just in time to hear what Brother Rong said.

Brother Rong didn't care, glared at Gu Chang, ran to Shen Yanmo, pulled his sleeves and said angrily: "He bullied his mother, what's wrong with him?"

Shen Yanmo whispered softly: "The visitor is a guest, and you are the host. You should treat each other with courtesy."

Brother Rong snorted coldly, and reluctantly said: "Mother, I was wrong." He said so, but he didn't mean to apologize, and he didn't even give Gu Chang a stingy look.

Brother Yu and Brother Ao also understood. The "fat ball" in front of them bullied their mothers. How can they forgive? The twins have a strong heart and ran into Gu Chang together. Gu Chang is strong and taller than them. a lot of.

Brother Yu and Ao didn't knock him down, instead they fell and squatted. Brother Yao's eyesight was quick, and he quickly pulled the two up and gave them an idiotic look: "If you want to clean up, do you need to do it yourself?" Just drive out, and it's not too late to clean up if you have a chance.

"It hurts my little master." Brother Yu got up and rubbed his butt, looking at Gu Chang fiercely: "You go, my house doesn't welcome you."

Brother Ao pointed to the door: "Hurry up, or let the dog bite you."

They really raised a native dog, and today there are distinguished guests, and they are locked in a cage by Shen Yanmo for fear of bumping into them.

When the prince heard this, his eyes burst into shining light, no matter what Gu Chang's expression of self-confidence, he took Brother Ao's hand and said, "You still have dogs in your house. Take me to see. There is no dog in the palace. , I want to raise it, but the queen will not let it."

He likes that kind of big dog, barking a few times, can scare people away, thinking about it, he feels awe-inspiring, the more he thinks about it, the more impatient he can wait, urging Brother Ao to see the big dog.

A few children couldn't hold back the prince, so they took the prince to marry to watch the dogs.

"Your dog is not fierce, I like to be fierce." The prince said.

"It's fierce, it's fierce, people want to bite when they see life." Ao Ge said with a smug expression.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I want to open my eyes." As the prince trot, it was obvious how eagerly he was.

Brother Yao talked and laughed and left. No one noticed Gu Chang's expression. Seeing that these people ignored him, Gu Chang wanted to cry because he was wronged, and then big tears rolled down.

Shen Yanmo is also a person with children. Seeing that he was so unbearable, he took out his veil and wiped his tears: "They are not familiar with you, and they will play with you when they are familiar. Don't cry, don't know. People thought I was bullying you."

Gu Chang didn't answer, he just kept crying, even if they were familiar, they wouldn't play with him. He was stupid because he was fat, and he used to scold Mrs. Shen. In his memory, no one coaxed him gently and wiped his tears.

Although grandmother loves him, she doesn't coax others. If the slave neglects him, the grandmother will hit someone and sell them out.

The stepmother looks like a set on the outside and a set behind the back. It makes people disgusting to look at, and Gu Chang won't let her coax her.

His father would not coax him, he would only say that a man should be strong, bleeding and sweating, not tears.

The older sister was busy fighting with her stepmother and couldn't take care of him. No one in the Hou Mansion would care about his feelings.

If Mrs. Shen is his stepmother, he can also act like Rong brother and let her coax her. The more I thought about it, Gu Chang's tears flowed more fiercely, and finally started sobbing.

When the emperor heard the cry, he came over curiously and saw a ball crying sadly. He frowned slightly and said: "Whose child is this, why is he crying so sad?"

Shen Yanmo leaned over slightly, and said in a salute: "This is the prostitute of the Wuchang Houfu. I was dismissed by Brother Rong as being fat, so I was aggrieved and cried." After the explanation, he coaxed Gu Chang. , Picked up the raisins on the table and stuffed his hands: "These are for you. I just got your pulse. Your obesity is caused by poisoning. I also have a general detoxification method in my heart. If you cry again, I don’t care. NS."

Gu Chang stopped crying, ecstatic, grabbed Shen Yanmo's hand, stammered: "Really, really, me, me, I can change back to the way I was before, but me, how am I? Will it be poisoned?"

"I'm a doctor, not a detective." Seeing that he stopped crying, Shen Yanmo pulled him to sit on the stone bench next to him.

The emperor looked around, there was no prince, and he couldn't help frowning: "How many children?"

"Go to the stables to watch the dogs." Shen Yanmo asked Furong to make a basin of water, soaked the kerchief and wrung out the water, wiped Gu Chang's face, and said, "Go out in a while, don't you say me Something that will detoxify."

"Why?" Gu Chang was puzzled, raised his eyes and stared straight at Shen Yanmo. Seeing her expression of no disgust, he writhed and wanted to cry again.

Ever since he became fat, his grandmother and father have disliked him, let alone others.

"If I'm not wrong, the person who poisoned you will be in your house. She wants to ruin your life, so she will use such a vicious method. If she knows that your poison can be solved, maybe it will directly kill you. "Shen Yanmo tidied his clothes and patted his shoulder leisurely.

Gu Chang shuddered when he heard this, and the contents in his hand almost fell to the ground, and said in panic: "If the poison is detoxified, she still wants my life, what should I do?"

He is not stupid. He probably guessed who harmed him. Except for his stepmother, Gu Chang couldn't think of a second person. He did nothing and did nothing. His father gradually disliked him. Sooner or later, the position of the son will not be preserved. The most powerful thing is naturally. Stepmother's son.

Shen Yanmo gave him a glance and felt that what he said was a bit stupid. Because of his young age, he still patiently said: "This is your Houfu's business, what to do with me, I am a doctor, only Responsible for detoxification, your life is not in my control." He stood up and paused, glanced at Gu Chang slantingly and said: "You should go back, your family can't find you, you should be anxious."

"Thank you Madam for not thinking about the predecessors. Madam's kindness is unforgettable for Gu Chang." Gu Chang gave a salute, wiped away the tears and turned away.

Looking at Gu Chang's fat body, the emperor shook his head and sighed, "This child is also pitiful."

Wu Changhou seemed shrewd and capable, and he was also confused in domestic affairs. His eldest son was like this, but he was indifferent, even disgusted, really cruel. At the beginning, he was filial piety for his original partner for three years, and people in Kyoto said that he was infatuated, but that's all.

"There are too many poor people in the world. Those who are hungry and have no money to cover their bodies, who are sick and have no money to see a doctor, who are too poor to sell their sons and daughters. What is his suffering?" The appearance of those people. , Sorrowful eyes, desperate expression, one by one appeared in Shen Yanmo's mind, and finally turned into a long sigh.

Upon hearing this, the emperor looked at Shen Yanmo in a daze: "Unexpectedly, Madam Shen is still a person with the world in mind."

"In the past two years, I went out and walked. I saw a lot and saw a lot. I just wanted to do something about it. Compared with the poor people, why can't people with a good life cherish the life in front of them? What's the point? In their position, the greater the official position, the greater the responsibility. Some people have more, the more greedy the heart is. It is not others, but themselves that make them fall into the quagmire." Shen Yanmo said consciously. Too much, he smiled and said: "No wonder the emperor, the lady of the house sighed, nonsense, the emperor just listen to it, don’t go to the heart. The prince is going to watch the dog, and the lady will also take the emperor to take a look. Right. The children’s new pets are so fresh that they all look after them like babies."

The emperor said hello, and followed Shen Yanmo to the stable.

The prince was full of joy and excitement. He thought he could see a majestic, fierce big dog.

When I came to the stables, I found out that there was a small dog in the cage, um, a little milk dog, not much bigger than an adult cat. The yellow mane was mixed with black hair, and it was not purebred at first sight. There was a pinch of white hair on the forehead. , Shaped like lightning, looks a little cute.

What is said to be majestic and majestic, what is said to be fierce and evil. This is obviously a milk dog that has just been weaned.

The crown prince stood in front of the cage, Leide's outer focus was tender and unable to move, and his tongue was curled when he spoke. He pointed to the barking milk dog and asked, "That's it?"

He looked around, and the parents of the milk dog were not there. The dog in Brother Ao's mouth must be the milk dog. It was a small ball, and his temper was not small. He saw the prince whining and barking.

Fierce is a bit fierce, but it is not lethal, it can kick a few meters away with one foot.

The author has something to say: I forgot to set the time for yesterday's deposit, sorry.
