Zhou and her husband embarked on the journey north to the capital. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the Zhou family, she is finally relieved, she no longer has to worry about the affairs of the Shen family, and after surviving the years of hardship, the position of the head of the Shen family is already a hot potato for her, so it is better to lose it as soon as possible.

"Xianggong, it's finally out, in a few days, we will be able to see Hanwa'er, Ping'er, daughter-in-law, Yun'er and Yi'er, and Dai'er......"

The Zhou family has lived in Ninghua for more than a year, and she has become much older, no longer the appearance of a shrew, and she is subtle and introverted wherever she goes, not that she really wants to do this, but she is afraid of her identity as the "head of the family" of the Shen family, and she is still the mother of the champion father, she has to save face wherever she goes, and she must be polite like a lady in front of people.

Of course, the most important thing is that her son asked her for a five-grade edict to come back, and Zhou felt that she was like being an official, not looking at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, for the sake of the court and her son's face, she also had to learn to be reserved.

But this kind of thing is still very difficult for her, one day or two days is okay, after ten days and half a month, she will feel uncomfortable, and after another three or five months, she is basically exposed.

As the head of the Shen family, the Zhou family had a small quarrel with the Wang family for three days at home, and a big quarrel for five days, and the two of them scolded and quarreled with each other, scolding that it was called a bloody dog, but in retrospect, the "head of the family" of the Zhou family still had to take care of the food and clothing on the side of the big house, which made her extremely unhappy.

After scolding, you have to be a father and a mother to others, how good is this cultivation to complete?

Later, Zhou's learning was shrewd, and he simply stopped arguing, not because he didn't want to quarrel, but because he was tired of arguing, he found that he couldn't change the reality that his son was the champion and a big official, instead of arguing with the wife of a "little Xiucai", it was better to let himself learn to be more like a lady and win more good names for his son and the Shen family.

The Zhou family originally hoped that the old lady Li would die early, so that she could be in charge of the house, but when she found out that this family was not good, she felt that it was a good thing that the old lady was alive, at least she could pick her son and leave at any time, because the Li family never recognized that she was the head of the Shen family.

In Li's thinking, she has never let go of the burden of the Shen family, but unfortunately at this time, the Li family can only be the old lady of the spiritual victory method, because she is so confused that she only talks about the great hero of the Shen family "Qilang" every day, and the poor old man who doesn't remember the deceased husband and son.

Zhou's northward journey, this road is no longer to live in a small town along the road or a small inn next to the post station, and he is afraid of encountering bandits every day.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years afraid of the well rope, Zhou since the way to the capital encountered a bandit and was almost taken away, she has a certain fear of the journey, this time to the north, in addition to the patrol department of the official post protected by the soldiers and horses, along the way there are chariot and horse gang brothers escort.

In addition, the Zhou family and Shen Mingjun also had people to follow, one was Shen Yongqi, the fifth lang of the second room of the Shen family, and the other was Yang Wenzhao, the cousin of Shen Xi, the son of the Yang family's in-laws; There is another nephew of Zhou's mother's family, and it is Zhou Xian who Zhou feels should be trained for his mother's family to "do great things" with his son.

Among the three children, Shen Yongqi is the oldest, he is twenty years old this year, he just married his wife, he is the daughter of a small family in Ninghua, he is beautiful, but his family background is not thick, if he is the head of the Li family or the Wang family, he will definitely not agree to Shen Yongqi marrying such a woman to enter the door, because Shen Yongqi is also Shen Xi's cousin no matter what he says.

In the past, Shen Xi was only a champion and a Hanlin official, although he was famous, he didn't have much real power, and among the three generations of nephews of the Shen family, he could only marry some famous ladies in the county.

However, Shen Xi served as the governor of the three provinces along the southeast coast, as the right deputy capital of the three products, coordinated the military and political power of one party, and even led the troops to level the bandits and made meritorious contributions, and the status of the Shen family in Ninghua was sharply improved.

In this situation, Shen Yongqi, who is in the age of marriage, is the most blessed.

Countless people heard that Shen Yongqi was going to marry a wife, and they all introduced the famous ladies of Tingzhou Mansion and surrounding prefectures and counties, hoping to form an in-law with the Shen family.

But Shen Yongqi has long lost the protection of his parents, and over the years at home, with the two brothers getting married one after another, he is illiterate and has a low status, which makes him have a deep inferiority complex, so he chose a portrait of a daughter born to an old boy who looks quiet and beautiful, knows a few words but has an average family background, and gave the marriage.

The Zhou family had just gotten the eldest granddaughter of the Ge family, Xie Hengnu, as a daughter-in-law, Shen Yongqi wanted to marry the daughter of a small family to enter the door, she had different ideas from the Wang family and others, and there was no need to add icing on the cake through marriage, so she chose to support Shen Yongqi, and did a big job, did not let the woman's family pay a dowry, and took a lot of it in.

Not long after Shen Yongqi got married, the young couple lived a harmonious and beautiful life, and they had no intention of separating, Zhou went to Beijing, and brought Shen Yongqi according to Shen Xi's previous explanation, and Zhou took Shen Yongqi and his wife Shen Kangshi with him, so that she also had someone to call on the road.

The Zhou family treated Shen Kang's family as his own daughter-in-law, and shouted at will, Shen Kang's was knowledgeable and reasonable, and he was extremely respectful to Zhou's "great hero" of the rise of the Shen family, and obeyed his words.

Although Shen Kang's marriage was not Shen Xi, but her marriage to the Shen family brought a lot of glory to her mother's family, her father tried and failed, and the previous children were all average, but he could let the youngest daughter marry into the Shen family of the Ninghua Wang family, so that the Kang family had a lot of face.

As for Zhou's nephew Zhou Xian, he is the son of Zhou's brother, nearly twenty years old, smart, after Zhou's return to Ninghua County, every time he comes to visit, he is the eldest aunt and the shortest aunt, and Zhou's is said to be the golden phoenix of the Zhou family, which makes Zhou very happy, and this time he finally has the opportunity to follow his aunt to the capital.

Although Zhou Xian was already married and had children, he did not bring his daughter with him, and always revolved around Zhou's family on weekdays, hoping to get the protection of his aunt.

Yang Wenzhao was the most wooden and timid of the three who followed the Zhou family to Beijing, he was one year younger than Shen Xi and was not yet married...... The Yang family has a certain reputation in Fucheng, and they wanted to marry Yang Wenzhao as soon as possible, but they also wanted Yang Wenzhao to try if he could make achievements on the road to the imperial examination.

As a result, Yang Wenzhao took the county exam three times in a row, but failed to win, and the Yang family gave up, although the Yang and Shen families were a little dirty before, but Yang Wenzhao was the nephew of the younger generation that Shen Xi appointed to take to the capital for cultivation, and the Zhou family went to Xinchangting County according to Shen Xi's instructions, and the Yang family was very happy when they heard that Shen Mingjun and his wife did not care about their previous suspicions.

Yang Wenzhao's mother, Yang Shen, personally sent her son back to Ninghua County, saying that she was going back to her mother's house to save relatives, but in fact, she sent her son to see Shen Mingjun and his wife, to observe the words and looks, to see how the younger brother's family treated her son, and later saw that the Zhou family did not discriminate, so she put her mind at ease, and before leaving, she told her son to go to the capital to follow his cousin Shen Xi to get ahead.

Yang Wenzhao was only sixteen years old at this time, although the little slug had grown up, but he had no opinions, so he was pushed into the carriage to the capital, and he was worried along the way, feeling that he was being "abducted", and he hid in his room at night and did not dare to come out.

The brothers escorted by the Che Ma Gang were all personally selected by Song Xiaocheng, and the commercial layout of the southeast coast planned by Shen Xi was being improved, whether it was Hui Niang or Song Xiaocheng, they would not return to Beijing for the time being.

Zhou had no one to talk to on the road except for her husband, and Shen Xi was the one who talked the most.

As she gets older, Zhou cares more and more about her family, but the family she cares about is limited to her husband, son, grandson, and daughter-in-law, and her daughter is an outsider, not to mention the relatives of her husband's family and her mother's family who usually make trouble for her.

"It's a pity that the sister of the Sun family ......"

This is also a sentence that Zhou often sighs about.

In Zhou's mind, she has never been able to let go of Hui Niang, the good sisters who experienced hardships together, worked hard together, let her find the value of life, but wanted to be good in the capital, but flew into trouble, and the good sisters went, she always felt that this was a good life that could not share hardships and hardships, and did not let her sisters live a good life protected by big officials, which was an eternal regret in her heart.

As everyone knows, at this time, Hui Niang has become her daughter-in-law, and even gave birth to a grandson for her, and the two may never see each other.

After crossing the Yangtze River, the atmosphere in the north began to become tense.

At the beginning, Xie Yun'er and his entourage went north to the capital, and now the war in the northwest is tightening, and martial law has begun since the generation of Xuzhou in the south, and you can see the checkpoints set up by the government along the way.

The bustling Grand Canal seems deserted at this time, and the ships are basically going south from the north, and there are very few going north, although the Zhou family sent people to inquire about what happened in the north, but others usually prevaricate with words such as "the north is not peaceful, avoid the south first", so that the Zhou family is a little worried.

"Han Wa'er returned to Beijing a long time ago and became a big official in the capital, and the war has nothing to do with Han Wa'er. Yun'er and they left early, they should have returned to the capital early by this time, Han Wa'er reunited with his wife and children, but what about me......"

Zhou was very depressed, thinking that he would be able to return to the capital smoothly, and when he saw the person who was thinking about him in his heart, who knew that he would find this journey extremely difficult before he arrived in the Central Plains.

Shen Mingjun persuaded: "He'er, Xiaolang's family is doing well, let's not rush into Beijing, if something happens on the road, it will make Xiaolang embarrassed." I heard that if we have three longs and two shorts, Xiaolang can't be an official for many years, and he wants to go home to guard the system, how can we not delay his future! ”

Zhou glanced at her husband and said angrily: "Xianggong, why do you say something unlucky?" We are now official dependents, don't you see how polite the people at the official post are to us along the way? When we return to the capital, let's clean up our home again, and we won't go back to Ninghua County in the future. ”

"But ...... mother"

Shen Mingjun obviously didn't want to follow his wife's advice.

"In the end, it is the mother, or the wife and son are closer, the husband has to make a choice, if you are not considerate, you will return to Ninghua County in the future, and we will live on both sides!" The Zhou family now has a fate, and he is much more confident, and he no longer takes his husband as the key link everywhere, and has his own persistence.
