? Who is speaking?
Shen Hong shook his head from side to side and found no one speaking, let alone children.
"Can...let me hug you?" Shen Hong quickly took off his armor and threw it aside. He stretched out his hands to hug but didn't dare to touch, looking pitiful and cautious.
It's more important to hold my daughter, no matter what the voice is.
"Be gentle when you hug her. Don't scare the girl." Cheng Yurong warned, but Shen Hong didn't have much experience in raising babies.
In the past, it was okay to hold a son, but now I am holding a precious girl who is looking forward to the stars and the moon.
Shen Hong nodded solemnly, and the next second there was a soft "little thing" in his hands, like a bomb, making his muscles tighten and his blood boiling.
He shrunk his arms and slowly pulled them back. After all his efforts, the "little thing" came into his arms.
Shen Hong only regretted that he had not hugged his five sons more before, otherwise why would he not be able to hug his daughter now.
Looking down at his little daughter's fair and chubby face, his hard-as-iron heart instantly softened.
"My daughter is so cute and handsome...hehehe...this is my daughter, I have a daughter...hehehehe..."
Ruan Ruan yawned and rolled his eyes: [He can't be a fool! Forget it, seeing as how handsome he is, I won't care. ]
Actually, she is quite satisfied with this cheap dad. He has bronze skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, regular facial features, a full forehead, and fleshy ears. At first glance, he is a lucky person.
The key is that when he reaches middle age, his hair is still very thick and black.
Completely worthy of my beautiful and gentle mother.
Who is speaking?
Shen Hong looked back, but didn't see the child.
The father and daughter stared at each other for a full cup of tea, until Ruan Ruan was tired and fell asleep again.
Smelling the fragrance of the little girl's milk, Shen Hong reluctantly put her on the bed and asked his wife to rest too.
And he followed Mrs. Cheng out of the inner room and went to the flower hall to talk.
Aunt Zhou and Bai Zhi also followed. They told Shen Hong everything that had happened in the past few days.
After a cup of tea,
he looked gloomy and was silent for a long time before he said: "Please rest assured, mother-in-law, I will definitely protect the mother and daughter when I come back. As for the bad things done by the second wife, I will investigate clearly and find evidence before I can punish them."
On one side is his wife and daughter, who is close to him, and on the other is his younger brother and his family who saved his life. What should he do to avoid hurting both parties?
"The evidence is right! Bai Zhi, bring this person up." Mrs. Cheng waved her hand.
Soon, Bai Zhi led the three people into the flower hall.
"Who are they?" Shen Hong looked serious, and he probably guessed the identities of the three people.
Mrs. Cheng had a straight face and said sternly: "You report it truthfully. If you are sincere enough, I will spare your lives."
"Old lady... I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was also helpless. The other party captured my whole family. ...Master, I deserved it. I shouldn't have touched the little lady. I was wrong...get around me!"
"Master, I'm sorry! I was wrong. I shouldn't have drugged the water that everyone drank… "Please spare my life."
"I was wrong, Mr. Gong, I was blinded by Yin Liang, so I did something wrong. I shouldn't have harmed my wife, Mr. Gong..."
Po Wen and the two maids and servants knelt down. On the ground, he cried bitterly and begged for mercy. He kowtowed several times, and the skin on his forehead was broken, blood oozed, and it suddenly became swollen.
Mrs. Cheng left the flower hall with Bai Zhi, leaving Shen Hong alone to investigate the three culprits.
He called two of his men, one to interrogate and the other to write a pleading. ...
Mrs. Cheng continued to stay to take care of her daughter during her confinement period, until her granddaughter held a full-moon banquet before returning to the Cheng Mansion. Why didn't the government have any serious elders?
We can't let the immortal old concubine be our daughter's mother-in-law and be in charge of the middle child!
Wouldn't that make the whole capital laugh out loud?
But she asked the three daughters-in-law to return to the Cheng family. After all, the son-in-law had already returned and it was not appropriate to stay any longer.
On the second day after returning to Beijing, Shen Hong took several of his men to the palace to meet the saint. With this great victory in southern Xinjiang, he could have been promoted to a first-class general. However, he refused and only took back dozens of boxes. Gold and silver jewelry.
The official ranks of several of his subordinates were promoted one level, and they also brought back several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
After learning that Shen Hong had been rewarded with dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry by the emperor, Shen Zhongsheng and Lao Yang couldn't sit still and immediately came to Fangfeiyuan to ask him for silver and gold.
"Dad, I can't give you these rewards, not even one of them." Shen Hong refused immediately. In the past, he would leave three boxes of gold and silver jewelry for Shen Zhong Shenghua, but not this time or in the future.
"What did you say? Shen Hong, I am your father. From ancient times to the present, it is a matter of course that a son should respect his father. If you dare to be unfilial, I will go to the emperor to sue you."
Shen Zhongsheng blew his beard and stared, his face flushed. Being rejected for the first time left him with nowhere to save his face.
"In the past few years, all the property of the Marquis has gone into your pocket, not including the rewards I get every time.
It is enough for you to eat, drink and have fun for a hundred years. I ask myself, in the world, except for the emperor, I can be regarded as the second A filial son."
Shen Hong didn't get used to Shen Zhongsheng and directly exposed his shortcomings.
"I have a use for this reward. The battle in Southern Xinjiang lasted half a year. There were hundreds of warriors following me who were descendants of the Shen family.
They were dead, injured, and disabled. It took a lot of "
?" Shen Zhongsheng was stunned and thought, "What does the pension have to do with me? I only want dozens of boxes of gold and silver jewelry."
Ms. Yang, who had just turned fifty, had a thick layer of powder on her face, but her youthful beauty was astonishing. She was indeed a generation of courtesans in the capital at that time.
However, there was a strong scent of incense wafting from her body, which was extremely pungent.
"Sir, what are you talking about, why are you so dumbfounded?" She was anxious, and was very dissatisfied with Shen Zhongsheng's lack of control at the critical moment. He didn't know how eloquent he was when coaxing her.
Just as Shen Zhongsheng was about to speak, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Grand nephew, you are still kind-hearted, and it is worth noting that our entire clan has always supported you." The old patriarch of the Shen family came to the palace hall with dozens of clan members, and the space was suddenly filled.
"Although the Shen family's children all voluntarily went to the battlefield with you. Whether they live or die, and whether they are promoted to officials or nobles is their destiny, I am really happy that you can treat them well."
The elder of the old clan burst into tears, feeling uncomfortable at the same time . On the other hand, I was happy.
In this battle in southern Xinjiang, for the future development of the Shen family, he mobilized hundreds of his children to participate in the war. Unexpectedly, less than half of them died, more than thirty were injured and disabled, and only about twenty were left, all with beards and brains. return.
He felt sorry for everyone in the Shen family and had no face to face his ancestors.
Without Shen Hong's additional pension, just relying on the dozen or so taels of silver issued by the court would not be able to solve the family burden of losing a child.
"Grandpa Patriarch, this is what I should do. You are getting older, so don't get too excited. You will see more Shen family members getting titles and titles in the future."
Shen Hong's eyes were red and he supported the old patriarch. .
"???" Shen Zhong was confused and had no idea what they were talking about.
At this time, several of Shen Hong's men walked in, followed by a dozen boys, carrying boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
"Read the list and remove the pension."
"What? No, I don't agree!" Shen Zhongsheng came to his senses and figured out the situation, and immediately rushed over to hug the big box.
