0003 Marriage of the Gate

Shen Chong was fierce at this time, his heart was free of distractions, his son's outstanding performance made him have no worries, even if he couldn't succeed this time, he was not afraid of no successor. When www.biquge.info heard Shen Zhezi's shout, he stopped his steps and turned his head back, and said with a joking smile: "What else does my son have to teach, listen to my father." ”

Shen Zhezi stepped forward and said seriously: "Since my father has made an appointment with General Wang, Kurong has become one. The son took the liberty of asking his father to ask for a Wang girl for me, thinking it was a good couple. ”

This is Shen Zhezi's killer feature, although an eight-year-old child always feels a little weird when he thinks about marrying a daughter-in-law, and when he says it, Shen Zhezi's heart is already filled with a strong sense of shame, but this incident will definitely be able to dispel the last bit of luck fantasy of his father Shen Chong about the Langya Wang family.

One of the most significant characteristics of the scholar clan is that the family is married, and the family is not matched between the scholars, and they will never intermarry. This was particularly strict among the Nandu overseas Chinese surnames at the turn of the two Jin Dynasty, who intermarried with each other to create a completely closed circle in order to maintain ties with each other, share interests, ensure their political superiority, and completely exclude the Jiangdong scholars. As the leader of the overseas Chinese surname, the Langya Wang family, even if it is a first-class family such as Jiangdong Gu Lu, he will never want to marry a Wang daughter, let alone a lower-class family like the Wuxing and Shen families.

Sure enough, hearing this request, Shen Chong showed a crying and laughing expression on his face: "The Wang family is a high-ranking family, and it is an overseas Chinese clan, and the thought of the finch is really difficult for a strong man...... If you want a good couple, we have our own gentle girls in Jiangdong, even if it is Gu Lu's family, as long as you like the finch, I can also hire you as a housewife. ”

Shen Zhezi naturally knew that in the current social environment, it would be impossible for his idea to be realized, and even once it spread, it would immediately become a laughing stock for everyone. But it was precisely because it was impossible that he brought it up. To be honest, he was not interested in the daughters of the noble families of the scholar clan at all. There is no shortage of people in these families who are addicted to drugs, and it is not known whether there is an impact on future generations. Even if he really wants to marry a wife, Shen Zhezi hopes to choose as much as possible in a civilian home, so as not to regret it too late for his children and grandchildren.

"The extraordinary do extraordinary things. Since General Wang wants to enjoy the honorable position of a minister and turn his family into a country, how can he be confined to the view of the door? The daughter of the Han family, a strong man of the Shang Emperor's family, has been supported in the past and modern times, what is the shocking thing? ”

Shen Zhezi said in an orderly manner, and walked in front of his father, his expression was even more solemn: "Besides, with this marriage contract, they are at ease and do not lose each other." If you want to seek a big position, how can you give up a daughter! ”

When Shen Chong heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he walked around under the porch with his hands behind his back. Shen Zhezi's proposal is really in line with his heart, especially the "peace of mind". Wang Dun wants to rebel, looking at all parties in Wu, he is his strongest support, and there are even such nonsense words as splitting the soil to win over, which shows that there are still suspicions between each other. Now I don't want to be feuded, I only ask for a Wang girl to be my daughter-in-law, which is a very suitable request.

If there are in-laws between each other, the natural dislike will be eliminated, and they can cooperate intimately and conveniently. But if the Wang family doesn't allow it, then Shen Chong feels that he should carefully consider whether the Wang family is worth his own assistance in destroying his family. But this tentative move has a hidden danger, that is, once it can't be done and leaked out, then it will definitely hit his son's reputation in the future and will be ridiculed by the people of the time.

If he had thought of this method to test Wang's attitude before, Shen Chong might have tried it without hesitation, but now that he saw that his son was young and old, and his thoughts and insights were even deeper than his own, Shen Chong didn't want his son to bear the stigma of being "delusional", so he was indecided.

Shen Zhezi probably guessed what his father was worried about, especially he didn't understand, and used a mere reputation to test whether the Wang family was reliable or not, and then avoid unnecessary sacrifices, what is so difficult to choose? To be honest, he didn't want to gain prestige in the Eastern Jin Dynasty at all, especially those celebrities and gentlemen who behaved quirkily, and he felt cold when he thought about it.

"Father, what else is there to think about. The ancestor of the Wang family went to lie on the ice to beg for carp, self-harmed and served his relatives, and the son is now exploring the way by himself, so that his father can avoid evil and avoid evil, and not let the sages focus on beauty. Shen Zhezi persuaded hard.

Shen Chong didn't respond, stood under the corridor with his hands in his hands, looked up at the sky, and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he sighed, pulled his son, who was only as tall as his ribs, patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "My son is eight years old, and he actually made a plan for the country, isn't it a genius from God?" Although I have been obsessed with it, I have been in the dust for a long time. It is expected that the Wang family has no daughter worthy of my Lin'er, rest, and from now on, the draft house will lie idle, only listening to the wind and rain. ”

He finally decided to give up his plan to raise troops to respond to Wang Dun, and he didn't want to test the Wang family's mind with a marriage proposal, but there was no lack of loneliness between his eyebrows. It was also extremely difficult for him to give up a plan that had been planned for many years. But when I thought of my son's previous performance, I was relieved to be disappointed. Compared with sacrificing his life to fight for a slim opportunity, he feels that raising his son is of greater significance to the rise of the family.

Seeing that his father was finally no longer stubborn, Shen Zhezi also breathed a sigh of relief, although he was not familiar with the evolution of the political situation at the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he also knew a general idea. Dad was able to retreat bravely, although there were many troubles, but it was better than dying. If it really follows the original historical trajectory, only the little Shen Jin in the infant can survive, and he has been stigmatized all his life, and he has to use the Northern Expedition to fight to the death to wash it away and revive the family's reputation.

At this moment, Shen Zhen, who had left in an ox cart before, returned to the manor, strode over, with a hint of joy on his face, and said from afar: "Shiju asked me to come back, but I changed my mind?" "Shiju is the word of Shen Chong.

Shen Chong looked suspicious, turned his head to look at Shen Zhezi, and saw that his son bowed slightly, and he was surprised in his heart. For Shen Zhezi to be able to see the subtleties and see Shen Zhen's intentions, this is the resourceful vision that an eight-year-old child can have? It's just a demon with wisdom.

"The fifth brother forgives me, I really intend to transfer, please tell the princes of the court and the central government."

Shen Chong invited Shen Zhen into the hall, and at the same time beckoned to Shen Zhezi: "You can come in too." ”

Entering the hall, they sat down on their own desks, and before waiting for the maid to serve the tea and soup, Shen Zhen had a happy face and said: "Shiju can get lost and return to the imperial court, and the position of the commonplace can be obtained, this is the glory and dignity that our entire Shen family has never had!" ”

Shen Zhen was an official in the Jiankang court, because he was the same clan as Shen Chong, this time he was ordered by the emperor to persuade Shen Chong to surrender, and the emperor did not hesitate to allow the three dukes to hold a high position, which shows the fear of Shen Chong. Shen Zhen was originally rejected, and he was depressed and ready to go back to his life, but he didn't want to have another turnaround, so he was naturally overjoyed. If he can complete the mission to appease Shen Chong this time, it is still uncertain whether the vacant position given to Shen Chong by the imperial court can be implemented, at least he himself is a great achievement.

Shen Chong was not in a hurry to express his position, and first called several singers and dancers to dance under the hall. Shen Zhezi sat on his father's left hand, it was the first time he saw the entertainment projects of this era, he couldn't help but take a few more looks, and then he was a little weak-hearted, peeking at his father, but Shen Chong didn't pay attention to him here, and put his fingers on the edge of the case to pat and bend.

For his father's shameless behavior in broad daylight, with his own underage blatant prostitution, Shen Zhezi was full of contempt, and even enjoyed the song and dance with peace of mind. To be honest, compared with the light and shadow coordination and gorgeous stage singing and dancing in later generations, the dance music in front of me is a little weaker, but the ornamentation is several times stronger. The music is lingering and beautiful, the dancing posture is sultry, and it is quite sullen and charming.

Shen Zhezi knows that his father is not only a financial oligarch who mins copper coins, but also the leading entertainment tycoon in the land of Sanwu. Located in Qianxi, the Beye Manor has a large number of singing and dancing music girls, both in terms of quantity and quality, and is the industry leader in Wudi, so that half of the Jiangnan family in later generations came from this. With such a rich father as a backer, Shen Zhezi's high-profile crossing is truly worthy of the name.

Compared with the father and son who are obsessed with singing and dancing, Shen Zhen is a little uneasy. Although they are both Wuxing Shen clan, but the Fang branch is different, Shen Chong's vein is the most noble branch at the moment, in comparison, Shen Zhen is much inferior, and the situation is not as detached as Shen Chong. He came with the emperor's order, and naturally he was eager to know what Shen Chong's idea was to call him back again.

In fact, from his own heart, Shen Zhen didn't want Shen Chong to raise troops and drive straight into Jiankang City like the year before last. He still inherited Yu Ze, who was in turmoil back then, and the group of overseas Chinese in Jiankang City were cheap and untidy, and if you don't give some color, you don't know how strong the Wuxing Shen family is.

Even if Shen Chong's uprising failed, it was only this one that suffered, and the imperial court did not dare to risk the world's condemnation to expand the attack. Just as General Wang raised troops outside, Wang Situ still sat firmly in the center. In terms of bloodline, the relationship between Wang Dun and Wang Dao is much closer than that between Shen Zhen and Shen Chong.

However, the conditions for the three princes offered by the imperial court to Shen Chong also made Shen Zhen excited. Once Shen Chong is ranked as the third duke, it is the entire Shen family that has been promoted, and after a few years of patience, the Wuxing Shen family may not be able to overwhelm Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang in one fell swoop, and the children of the Shen family will naturally be able to get rain and dew evenly, and each will get its own benefits.

Therefore, Shen Zhen's heart is very conflicted, and his thoughts are even more entangled than Shen Chong, the person concerned, who dances in front of him but turns a blind eye, looking like he is sitting on pins and needles, and frequently looks at Shen Chong who is in the main position.

Shen Chong didn't talk about it, and occasionally turned his head to Shen Zhen and smiled at the pros and cons of singing and dancing, and after nearly half an hour, he picked up the Tie Ruyi at hand and knocked on the table, and invited a soldier to whisper a few words.

Na Hu came back from the back end of the two boxes not long after he retreated, and placed them on the table in front of Shen Zhen under Shen Chong's eyes.

Shen Zhen didn't know what he meant, and when he saw Shen Chong signaling him to open it, he reached out and took off the lid of the box, only to see that there were large and small seals in the wooden box, which were actually Shen Chong's own official seals. His face changed, and his tone trembled slightly: "What does Shiju mean by this?" ”

Shen Chong dismissed the singers and dancers, and then said to Shen Zhen: "Please return to the imperial court, although the fifth brother is not good, but he is also a Jin minister who is subdued by Wanghua. Unexpectedly, the court misunderstood me, and the coin was willing to tempt me, which was the failure of the monarch and the minister. If the way is not good, I should follow the road of Jonnydji. ”
