Chapter 70 Brothers and Sisters
A Yuan saw Shen Yuheng coming out of the Taoist temple with a gloomy face from afar, and he couldn't help but shudder.
The young master was clearly fine when he came out of the house, and he even smiled strangely at his wife.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen. Shen Yuheng got into the carriage silently and subconsciously fiddled with the sandalwood beads on his wrist.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, with a hint of anger between his brows. After a while, he spoke to the carriage leader: "Go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion."
"Yes." A Yao agreed and whipped the horse's buttocks. He suddenly remembered that before the young master got married, he would run to the Grand Tutor's Mansion when he was in a bad mood.
Especially Miss Lu, oh no, when the news of Madam’s engagement with Mr. Pei II caused a sensation in the city, the young master wished he could stay in the Grand Tutor’s Mansion every day after court.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate, and Shen Yuheng hurried in.
The young man guarding the door took A Yao and asked, "Brother A Yao, what happened to Chen Xiang? He looked like he wanted to kill someone."
Ah Yao shrugged helplessly: "I don't dare to ask about the master's affairs, but-"
Ah Yao said quietly, "I'm afraid Mr. Qin's fortune tree is going to be in trouble."
The servants at the Grand Tutor's Mansion said that Mr. Qin had gone to give lectures to the students at Bailu Garden and would be back in a while.
Shen Yuheng walked to the pavilions of the Grand Tutor's Mansion with ease and familiarity. He sat there, feeling depressed, and his eyes swept over the circle of potted plants placed around the pavilions.
He casually picked up a long sword on the table - this was the tool used by Mr. Qin to practice martial arts, and started cutting at the small tree with lush branches and leaves.
Half an hour later, Mr. Qin came into the mansion, waving a Zhuge fan and humming a little tune.
He heard from the doorman that Chen Xiang came today and seemed to be in a bad mood.
He just didn't believe it. Considering how happy he was recently with his beautiful lady by his side, how could his mood be any worse?
It was not until Qin Jingchun stepped into the courtyard and saw the money tree with fallen leaves all over the ground that he realized, if he looked closely, that the cut leaves did not touch the roots. Instead, they were trimmed very neatly, and the word "meticulous" was the most appropriate description.
His old face wrinkled like an orange peel. Qin Jingchun ran while muttering distressedly: "Oh my, oh my, oh my, ancestor, who has offended you, who has offended you, that you have to come after my money tree!"
Shen Yuheng looked up at the sound, his eyes clear and innocent. He moved his lips and said, "I saw that the leaves were growing a little unevenly, so I trimmed them for the teacher."
Qin Jingchun was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "The money tree should be lush and grow freely, why does it have to be so strict and square?"
This disciple of his has been known for being old-fashioned and serious since childhood. Strictly speaking, based on his understanding of Shen Changjue's character, he never thought that this eldest disciple with a cold personality and aloofness from women would take the initiative to find someone to get married.
Seeing Shen Yuheng remain silent, Qin Jingchun's face flashed with a hint of amusement. He puffed his beard and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. I went to your house several times but was turned away. Are you satisfied? Do you know how good the master is?"
Hearing this, Shen Yuheng's mind flashed with the image of a woman shyly and tenderly calling him "husband". His heart was slightly moved and a hint of red quietly appeared on his ears.
"When will you bring your new bride to the master? What kind of girl is she to make Shen Xiang descend to earth to eat the common people?"
A hint of smile flashed across Shen Yuheng's brows, and his voice was filled with joy: "She is a little shy."
He knew that every time Lu Qiaoxiao went to the Shen Mansion, she would spend an hour carefully dressing up and carefully choose the clothes to wear when meeting her parents-in-law and her sister-in-law.
These laborious tasks show how much she values every meeting.
She was originally an easygoing and free-spirited person, but after getting married, she had to deal with such a large family, which was a shackle.
Even if parents are reasonable people, it is always tiring to deal with people in a large family and to behave decently in all social ways.
"An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. I am half her husband. Stop talking nonsense and bring me here next time." Qin Jingchun didn't believe it. He had heard a little about the behavior of the girls from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.
He broke into the Shangshu Mansion alone and broke off the engagement in a grand manner. How could he be a shy person?
After the basic greetings were completed, Shen Yuheng seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and a layer of anger suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, which made Qin Jingchun a little confused. "Who has made our Prime Minister Shen unhappy? Could it be the second young master of the Pei family?"
"I heard that Minister Pei has been in poor health recently and has been on sick leave for over seven days. All matters have been taken care of by Second Young Master Pei, but he is challenging you in the court?"
Hearing Pei Jinxuan's name, Shen Yuheng felt even more unhappy, and his eyes were covered with a cold color.
He took a deep breath and calmed down for a while before saying, "It's not Pei Jinxuan, it's your good disciple."
——
Qin Jingchun watched the sedan chair going away, and some memories of the past flashed through his mind.
When Shen Yuheng was still young, he was sent by Shen Hou to become his disciple. At that time, he was very disdainful. No matter how talented a six-year-old child was, how much could his talent be demonstrated?
However, when they met for the first time, Qin Jingchun heard this cold and serious young master seriously analyzing the situation in the court and criticizing the current ills.
He knew that this child would become a pillar of the country and the cornerstone of the dynasty in the future.
When Shen Yuheng was eight years old, Wei Junming sent his little daughter, whom he regarded as a treasure, to him to be his disciple. From then on, Shen Yuheng and Wei Mingzhu became senior and junior brother and sister.
Although Wei Mingzhu is a woman, she has talents that are no less than those of men in the world.
When Shen Yuheng was ten years old and Wei Mingzhu was eight years old, Qin Jingchun set himself the goal of becoming the emperor's teacher and training a prime minister for the country to continue the dynasty's century-old foundation.
But who can predict
Qin Jingchun looked at the sunset and sighed softly. His eyes reflected the setting sun, which brought out a few traces of worry, but also a little bit of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately Wei Mingzhu is back. As long as she comes back, everything will have a chance.
It’s just this knot in my heart…
——
Zhaoyang Palace:
Wei Mingzhu gently fanned herself with Luo Ying's small fan, closed her eyes and took a nap on the couch. The male favorite beside her presented her with a plate of shiny peeled grapes.
Looking at the grapes that were brought to her lips, Wei Mingzhu's eyes flashed with impatience, and she opened her red lips slightly: "You guys can leave first."
When she was the only one left in the hall, the look in Wei Mingzhu's eyes gradually became solemn.
The scene of her studying at her master's house with Shen Yuheng before she left the palace flashed through her mind:
"Brother, I didn't understand what Master just said. Could you please explain it to me again?"
"good."
"Brother, Master is out buying a fortune tree. Can we take a break for a while?"
"good."
"Brother, if I can become the crown prince in the future, you will be my prime minister."
"good."
"Brother, we all need to study hard for the future. Nothing is more important than power and position."
