Step-Mother has Given Up

"How do you say this?" Shen Yanmo was puzzled, how could there be trouble?

Lady Jin was full of sadness: "Do you remember Wen's house? Wen's house was ransacked. Wen Jie died. But Mrs. Wen is still alive. She has raised Wen Ting for many years. She learned that Wen Ting is going to be a candidate and wants Wen Ting to give him Pension."

She really dared to ask Wen Ting to support her in retirement.

Shen Yanmo remembered this. Mrs. Wen is the daughter of the Gu family. She is now living in the Gu family's Zhuangzi. She has a good life. Why do she want Wen Ting to support him in retirement: "It's not that simple, right?"

The golden lady nodded: "You're right. Why does she want Wen Ting to provide her for the elderly? Wen Ting is about to take the imperial examination, so she wants to put a block on Wen Ting."

If Wen Ting loses a good reputation, his career will be over in this life, which is not good for Wen Gu, and I don't know what the woman thinks, just don't see others well.

Shen Yanmo thought for a while: "It's no way to avoid her, we have to think of a once and for all way."

Lady Golden knew she had an idea: "What do you think we should do?"

Behind the Wen family was the Hou Mansion. They told the merchants what they could do. Then they wanted Shen Yanmo to find a way to return to Kyoto. Only then did she know that Shen Yanmo was taken as a righteous daughter by the queen mother, and it was also Mo'er's good fortune.

Shen Yanmo reminded: "You are the original wife of the Wen family. Wen Jie stopped his wife and remarried back then. Then the Wen Gu family should give you a concubine court. If you go to sue them, the government should demote her to a concubine's house. , No one's face will be bad then."

The golden lady pierced her eyes and chuckled her lips slightly. She felt that this idea was a good idea, and she praised her: "You still have an idea, this way is good."

But as a last resort, she didn't want to deal with the court, things had passed so long, and she didn't want others to look at them with strange eyes. She should write a letter to Mrs. Wen to let those people understand how powerful it is, and then retreat in the face of difficulties.

But she hadn't written a letter yet, and Wen Gu had already let people find Wen Ting.

The Golden Lady is back, and everyone is rarely reunited. Shen Yanmo left the Jinnian mother and son for dinner in Shen's Mansion, and sent them away after lunch.

During the meal, the stone grabbed a bite of the meal and swallowed it: "Sister Mo'er, I haven't seen Brother Yao and the others for a long time. I want to take them to the Qingyue Tower for dinner, and I asked Sister Mo'er to agree."

Shen Yanmo put down the bowls and chopsticks and glanced at his sons: "Do you want to go too?"

Brother Yao nodded vigorously and wanted to go. Naturally, they wanted to go. They hadn't gone out for a few days, and they were suffocated at home.

"Then don't make a mistake, you must be punished if you make a mistake. It is said that one day can not be less than a full month." Shen Yanmo said.

Shitou smiled sadly: "Sister Mo'er, they all know that they are wrong, so please forgive them this time."

Golden Lady and Wen Ting also helped out: "Yeah, yeah, you see that a few children know that they are wrong, so please forgive them this time, they will never dare anymore."

"This is not the first time. If it weren't for their master to help them block the whip, the whip would fall on their faces. I don't know if it will leave a scar. I only know that the scar is difficult to remove. Recruiting officials, don't disregard the situation." Shen Yanmo said quietly, without the intention of forgiving a few children.

She used to indulge them too much. As long as someone begged for mercy, she would forgive them. Only then did she indulge them with a fearless temperament.

On the day they came back from Prince Yun’s Mansion, the three of them hadn’t eaten for a day and were dizzy with hunger, crying and begging. Shen Yanmo still let a few people kneel all night without giving them a bit of hardship. Like this time, almost disfigured. If it is really disfigured, this life will be over, and at that time, they will regret it and it will be of no avail.

Stone understood that Shen Yanmo was determined to punish Brother Yao this time, and he stopped interceding, and asked Brother Yao to reflect on it, so that she didn't want to make Sister Mo'er angry again.

Brother Yao's people quickly and sincerely said: "Mother, we really know that we were wrong."

"You must be punished if you know you are wrong. Don't let others intercede with you. This time it's useless who intercedes with you. Even if the emperor comes, I will punish you." Shen Yanmo was very determined.

Just after lunch in Shen's house, the emperor really came. He also heard that Shen Yanmo had punished a few children. He is still on foot restraint and has asked for leave in the palace. He will go to the palace to attend classes a month later.

The queen mother was afraid that some children would suffer, and she had sent someone to intercede, but Shen Yanmo didn't save face, and she also talked a lot about the truth. The queen mother also knew that Shen Yanmo really loved the children, and she was really good for them, but the children We all know that it is wrong, just a symbolic penalty, there is no need to stay for a full month.

Thinking about not being able to see his grandson for a month, the queen mother felt uncomfortable in her heart, and after deliberation, she could only make the emperor intercede.

The emperor did not want to come, and said that the queen mother should not worry about it. Madam Shen is an idea, and she knows how to teach her children so well.

Seeing that the emperor was unwilling to come, the Queen Mother saw that the emperor was unwilling to come, her eyes seemed to be flooded, tears came as she said she said, and she shouted, Mingyue was wronged by death, she did not look down on her eyes, she left at a young age, leaving her two sons, young and innocent. My uncle didn't care about it either.

The emperor couldn't help but agreed to take a trip, and the little prince also followed.

In the main hall, the emperor was tasting tea: "The aroma is strong and the mouth is fragrant, not bad, good tea."

Shen Yanmo personally refilled him with tea: "If the emperor likes it, drink more. You are the king of a country, and you are busy with official duties. Why are you free to come to my house?" I mean, do you have something to say, just say it. .

The emperor didn’t say anything about Brother Yao: “The prince wants Brother Yao and them, and I have nothing to do with me, so I’ll follow along and see.” Looking around Jiyan, praised, “You have a nice view of the mansion, look. It is pleasing to the eye."

Shen Yanmo didn't like to go around the corner, and said directly: "You also came for Brother Yao, right? Did the queen mother let you come, or did you want to come yourself?"

The emperor is a very righteous monarch, and his mother teaches his son this matter, he will not interfere, thinking that the queen mother asked him to come.

"No wonder you can do such a big business. You are indeed smart." The emperor saw that he had seen through, and did not hide it. "The queen mother asked me to come. I think you did it right. But the queen mother asked me, I I can’t help but give her face, I can only take this trip. You can only play as me. There is no pressure. I don’t care how you teach your children.” Several children were taught very well, indicating that Shen Yanmo Very hardworking and capable.

State-owned and state-owned laws, families have their own rules, and there is no way around without rules. If you blindly spoil your child, the child will become a dude sooner or later, and will go underground a hundred years later. When they see Mingyue, they are really shameless.

"Xie the emperor is considerate." Shen Yanmo was a little relieved when she heard this. Although she found a reason to persuade the emperor, if the emperor insisted on letting her let a few children out, she had to let it go, otherwise she would violate the imperial decree.

"Go ahead, let me take a look at it at will. I heard that you have planted a lot of herbs in the garden. I haven't seen it yet. I will go and see for myself." The emperor said, putting down the tea cup, and got up and walked out.

Shen Yanmo hurriedly let Yuhe follow. If the emperor asked me about medicinal materials, Yuhe knew a lot and could help the emperor answer.

Ye Shaofu knew that the emperor had come, and did not pretend to be sick. He found someone in the garden, played two chess games with the emperor, and talked about the education of the children. He kept saying that Shen Yanmo was for the children. Raise children into dudes.

The emperor dropped a white son and raised his eyes to look at Ye Shaofu who was opposite: "Are you afraid that I will punish your wife?"

"The emperor is a person who understands righteousness. Even if he is punished, he will find justifications, and he will not punish people for no reason." Ye Shaofu was very sure, staring at the chessboard and dropping a black stone.

He also understands the emperor's temperament, and will not punish people for these trivial accidents, but there are certain things that must be done.

Brother Yao and Brother Rong heard that the emperor had come up and hid early. They knew that the emperor was not the queen mother and grandmother and would not spoil them. He was very strict with them. When they saw them, they always asked them about their homework, even more than the master. Be stricter. Therefore, if you can hide, you can hide, and don't dare to get to the emperor's side easily.

A few children played and kicked a ball in Yao's yard. The ball was made by Shen Yanmo himself. It was hollowed out and woven with rattan, with red rope and bells. It was kicked out to make a crisp bell sound. Melodious.

Brother Yao just kicked the ball to Brother Rong, and the prince ran in and saw them playing football. He stopped and panted and said: "I can see you. You don't go to the palace to study with me. These days are too boring. Too much torment."

Brother Yu and the prince are the closest friends, with his arms resting on the prince's shoulders, and he can't lift the spirit: "You bear it first, we have been confined for a full month. This month we will study at home, and the master will teach us."

"Uncle King King?" The prince knew that Ye Shaofu's master was even more strange. "Uncle King King is also strict, even more severe than the Tai Fu. You are actually playing football. You are not brave enough."

"It's not that we are brave, but the master is injured and can't teach us." Brother Ao frowned, thinking of Ye Shaofu lying on the bed, very distressed, if it weren't for them to cause trouble, Master wouldn't need to be bedridden, he was sorry for Master.

The prince also knew about this, he hehe smiled twice: "The emperor grandmother knows that you are forbidden, so she specifically asked the emperor to intercede with the emperor. I believe Aunt Minghua will let you out."

His father was the emperor, the largest official in the world, and no one dared to disobey the emperor's orders. Aunt Minghua didn't dare to defy when she wanted to come.

However, I felt quite uncomfortable when I thought of Yao'er who was almost beaten. They were all good brothers of his own. They couldn't be bullied and beaten again and again. This face had to be found back.

"We'll take revenge after we go out." The little prince is also a master who doesn't suffer.

"Who do you want to find revenge?" When the words fell, Gu Chang stood outside the courtyard, looking at a few people with a smile, holding a birdcage in his hand, and an emerald green bird in the cage.

Brother Yao stared at the kingfisher: "I sent a dog a few days ago, but today I sent a bird. It's a plaything, your purpose is not pure."

Gu Chang was a little embarrassed, and smiled slyly: "I don't mean it, if you don't like it, I will bring it back in a while." He just wanted to please them, so he didn't mean anything else.

Brother Ao likes these cute things, he took the birdcage decisively, his eyes were crooked, and he looked very happy: "Give me, give it to me, I like it, it’s fun to tease them in my free time, and it won’t delay my studies. My mother agreed."

Brother Yu took out a purse from his arms, took out a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, and handed it to the prince: "Almond crisp, made by Aunt Yan Qing. It tastes great. Would you like to have one?"

The prince waved his hand and refused: "You can eat by yourself. Be careful that your toothaches." He also doesn't like sweets.

Brother Yu glanced at Gu Chang, ah, after a few days, he lost weight and said, "You are losing weight, so don't eat." He put a piece in his mouth and chewed a few times, and his face was full of satisfaction.

Gu Chang swallowed, resisting the impulse without reaching out, telling himself over and over again in his heart that for the sake of a good image, ordinary people can't bear it and resolutely don't eat.

Brother Rong teased the kingfisher: "Why are you here again?"

Gu Chang: "..."

Still can't fully integrate into it, but he has been mentally prepared for a long time, smiled and didn't care: "I heard that you have been banned, I am afraid that you will find it boring, so I specially came to relieve your boredom."

Brother Rong smiled coldly: "Who needs you to relieve the boredom." Continue to tease the kingfisher, without even giving Gu Chang a look.

"Didn't Princess Mingxia beat you?" After saying this, Gu Chang regretted it. Princess Mingxia was the prince's aunt. He explained that Princess Xia was not appropriate. After all, she was too here now.

The prince also saw Gu Chang's scruples and glanced at him and waved his hand: "Go on, I have no friendship with Mingxia. She beat my brother and is my enemy."

Gu Chang breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard that Princess Xia was locked up by her husband. By the way, her husband is Liu Fengchun's uncle and a dude. Liu Fengchun was beaten by you..."

Brother Yao heard this, the secret path was broken, before he could speak, the little prince had already spoken: "What was beaten by us, we were beaten by the **** Liu Fengchun..." Before he could say a word, he was covered by Brother Yao. Mouth.

He looked at Gu Chang embarrassedly: "The prince was guarded by us that day, and I didn't see clearly."

Brother Rong said, "Yes, the prince didn't see clearly. It's obviously that we beat Liu Fengchun, when is it the **** Liu Fengchun's turn to beat us?" I must not admit it, otherwise it would be too shameful.

Brother Yu also interrupted: "We only said that we were beaten by Liu Fengchun in order to gain sympathy."

Brother Ao also nodded: "Yes, yes, my brothers are so powerful, how can they be beaten, because they are protecting us, they were beaten by Liu Fengchun." My brothers had a very powerful expression on his face.

Well, in a word, all the concealments in front are all in vain. People really can't lie.

Gu Changhui is clever, there is nothing else he doesn't understand: "Well, that **** Liu Fengchun is not your opponent." This is a disguised acknowledgment of how powerful Brother Yao is, and does not entangle with what happened that day. NS.

When Brother Yao saw him on the road, his nervous expression eased a little, and he invited Gu Chang to stay for dinner.

The children played for an afternoon. Before the evening, the prince followed the emperor. After the meal, Gu Chang also left.

Sending away the emperor, Shen Yanmo returned to his yard, just about to rest for a while, the Golden Lady came.

Before Shen Yanmo could speak, the Golden Lady said: "Mo'er, Wen's family is looking for Wen Ting. You will be at Qingyue Tower at noon tomorrow. Come with me."

Although she is not afraid of the Wen Gu clan, she still wants to find someone to be bold, after all, behind the Wen Gu clan is the Hou Mansion.

Shen Yanmo agreed, and arrived at Qingyue Tower with Lady Jin the next day, entered Qingyue Tower directly on the second floor, and found the agreed elegant room—Meihua Pavilion.

Pushing the door in, someone was already sitting inside. Shen Yanmo knew it. It was Wen Gu. When he was in the Hou Mansion, Wen Gu looked down on her. I don't even bother to give her the right eye.

Wen Gu heard the voice, followed the reputation, and saw that it was Shen Yanmo, a little surprised: "Why is it you, Wen Ting? The person I am looking for is Wen Ting?"

She directly ignored the existence of the Golden Lady. After all, she hadn't seen her in the past 20 years, and she had hurriedly met once, so she remembered it clearly.

Over the years, she believes that the Golden Lady died early. After all, she was blind and was sold to Shu. It was impossible to return to Kyoto. The two old immortals of the Jin family died. The Jin family is gone, and the Golden Lady is impossible in this life. return.

Shen Yanmo helped the Golden Lady into the Plum Blossom Pavilion, and sat directly opposite Wen Gu's: "Since we are looking for Wen Ting, we should find out Wen Ting's identity and background."

Wen Gu didn’t look at Shen Yanmo before, but now I look closely at her and feel that she has changed, her overall temperament has changed, and she no longer looks like the only one in the Hou Mansion. I heard that Shen Yanmo was taken by the Queen Mother. As a righteous daughter, the corners of her lips couldn't help raising a sneer: "The identity has changed, and the confidence in speaking is different."

Even if her husband's house was ransacked, she is still Gu's daughter, which is also her confidence. She is not afraid of Shen Yanmo. Shen Yanmo is just a queen mother and righteous daughter, so what if she is named the princess, not a real royal person, and can't make waves.

She has been living in Zhuangzi and she doesn't know much about things in Kyoto, so she doesn't know what happened recently. Even if she knows, she feels that it has nothing to do with Shen Yanmo.

Shen Yanmo poured a cup of tea to Lady Jin: "Aunt Jin is thirsty, drink a cup of tea to moisturize her throat." It will be a good negotiation for a while.

Only then did Wen Gu turned his head and looked at Lady Jin. He felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar, and then remembered that Shen Yanmo called her Aunt Jin. This person's surname was Jin, and it wouldn't be... a bad feeling suddenly came into his heart.
