Ancient Fortune Records

"Eat the New Year's Eve dinner! Xiaoyan, hurry up and help serve the dishes. We don't have helpers at home today, except for a few who can't go home. The other maids are also given their annual leave. Let's work hard together, so we can sit down and eat gone."

Shen Laiqiu arranged for his second son to go to the kitchen as soon as possible. As for Shen Li, he was waiting outside the door early in the morning, listening to his orders, and preparing to set off firecrackers.

He looked at Wen Bohe who was standing aside, and before he could speak, he remembered that Shizi's leg was injured, and he wanted to ask him to adjust the position of the table and chairs, but he was injured, and he was a guest again, so naturally it was not good Also ask the guests to do things.

Wen Bohe asked wisely, "Uncle, what's the matter, just tell me."

Mrs. Yu happened to come over with the dishes, and she cast a reproachful glance at Shen Laiqiu, "He is a guest, you are injured again, don't listen to this old man here assigning this, assigning that, come with me to the kitchen and have some fried chicken .Our family, Shen Li, loves to eat fried chicken. You are all young people, so you must all have the same taste."

Wen Bohe was dragged by Mrs. Yu to the kitchen. He had never eaten in the kitchen, and he still ate with his hands, which felt very fresh.Shen Yan looked at the noble prince eating with his hands, but couldn't see it, and planned to give him a pair of chopsticks, but he refused.

"After staying at the seaside for a few months, I'm not as particular as before. You don't have to pay too much attention, I'm also a junior in the Shen family, I can eat whatever Shen Li eats."

When Shen Yan heard this, he still had some opinions on this son. He felt that although this guy was a son, in his heart, he was not good enough for his brother. He didn't expect that this guy had a decent personality, and that brother didn't like it too much. people.

Wen Bohe didn't know that he had invisibly gained Shen Yan's favorability.

Mrs. Yu was in a good mood seeing that his son was eating happily, and he was willing to accompany their family Shen Li to celebrate the new year. It can be seen that he really put their Li'er at ease.Besides, my son is really obsessed with Shizi.These two days at home, they were inseparable, except that both of them were men, they really looked like a couple.

These elders are naturally unable to hold back the younger ones. She once persuaded Li Er to marry a wife and have children like others, but Li Er firmly disagreed.It is really contemptible to say that he likes men by nature, but harms women.Women are not born to be wives or bear children for whom. Just like men, they have emotional needs. If they marry someone they don't like, and they don't like themselves, then it's a bad marriage.

It was the first time Yu heard of such a theory, and was shocked for a long time.

Shen Li also explained to her, "If Xiao Ya'er chooses a husband in the future, even if that person is a prince and grandson, once you find out that he is as good as Long Yang, I'm afraid you won't want to marry Xiao Ya'er, that's the reason."

Yu Shi was speechless for a moment, she really didn't think of this level.The girl in my family is a girl, but isn't the girl in another family?Even the poorest family can't stand their daughter being wronged like this.

Shen Li successfully changed the subject: "Our little Ya'er doesn't have to be a daughter-in-law or a mother in the future. I will let her support herself and never depend on anyone other than her family, including her future husband. Like Xiao Baozi, through the education of all of us, she will have profound knowledge, healthy body, insight into people, and life experience. Marriage is not the only way for her."

Recalling those words, Yu shook her head and smiled.Li'er in their family is still a bit naive, how can there be a girl who doesn't marry, and if she doesn't marry, she will become an old girl in the future, without children and grandchildren to take care of her, and she will be very pitiful in her old age.Father and brother can indeed be relied on, but one's own children and grandchildren are also very important, especially for women, marriage is necessary.But she didn't want to argue with her son, because this elder brother who was so kind to his sister and willing to wash her diapers probably hated her future brother-in-law, even if the matter hadn't even been mentioned yet.

After all the preparations were completed, Shen Laiqiu lit all the candles, offered incense, kowtowed to the gods and Buddhas, and then shouted in front of the hall: "Li'er, set off firecrackers!"

The crackling sound of firecrackers made Xiao Baozi and Xiao Ya'er cry in fright.Immediately, the sound of firecrackers and the cries of children were mixed together, and even the voices of the children could not be heard clearly.

Wen Bohe took advantage of other people's attention on coaxing the child, quietly approached Shen Li, and whispered in his ear, "It's a new year, I wish my little Li, peace and happiness, happy every year, every year Everyone wins."

Shen Li resisted the itching in his ears, and also read to Wen Bohe: "Then I wish you good luck every year and every year."

Wen Bohe held Shen Li's hand, "Originally, my father named me Henian, but soon, I fell out with him. Whenever someone called me Henian, I got angry, and even Your Majesty They all only call me Bai He, because they are afraid that I will be unhappy, so others don’t want to call me Crane Year. But now that I think about it, the meaning of the word Crane Year is really good. Like my name, it has the meaning of longevity. I think I pray to God that you and I can live a long life, and may we be with you every year.”

Shen Li said, "Nian of the Crane...a good name, I will call you 'Nian of the Crane' from now on, okay?"

"Okay. You haven't started writing yet, and you still have two years to reach the crown. By then, who will start writing for you?"

They, Dazhao, have always officially started their characters when they were Ji Guan. This is different from the regulations on characters in the historical dynasties that Shen Li knew. In history, most people started characters earlier, and a person can have two or three characters. Dazhao No, a person's life can only have one character, and it must be crowned to take it. It is quite formal, even more formal than the original name.Many young people, when they have not officially started their characters, usually call them by their nicknames, which can be regarded as a substitute for characters.After you have characters, if you still call them by their first names, unless you are an elder or someone very close, it is impolite.

Shen Li shook his head, his father was already looking up what words should be given to him, even his father planned to go to various monasteries after the New Year, looking for a Taoist monk to give him a word that would make his life smooth, as long as it fits his Numerology should also be pleasant to hear, I am afraid it will not be easy to get up.

"Perhaps, Your Majesty will pay attention to your words." Wen Bohe knew very well how much Emperor Xuan valued Shen Li.Shen Li is smart and eager to learn. What's more rare is that he doesn't have much yearning for power and loves to do practical things.Such a pure minister is exactly what His Majesty needs.

Shen Laiqiu looked at these two young people, who had been "whispering" all the time, and his heart twitched as they looked affectionate.His son was abducted by another man, but he still couldn't stop it, which really made him unwilling.

It's the New Year's Eve, and besides, he has long agreed to the two of them being together, but the prince's family has not yet reached a conclusion, so he is somewhat unhappy.But, what if he is a prince?The marriage was not agreed to, but the son ran to his house to celebrate the New Year. Damn, my heart suddenly became much more refreshed.

He became happy again, "Eat, eat, tonight I will accompany you young people to have a few more drinks, but you can't drink too much. If you drink too much and don't come together at the beginning, it will be a joke!"

Yu said: "If you want to drink yourself, but you can't control your alcohol addiction, then we have to talk about it."

Shen Laiqiu smiled apologetically: "That's for sure. With you in charge, we dare not drink too much. Come on, daughter-in-law, you have worked hard these years. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to feel so comfortable."

Yu Shi smiled and clinked glasses with Shen Laiqiu.

Shen Li and Shen Yan also stood up, "Mother, we also offer you a toast, I wish you all wishes come true, safety and health!"

Yu smiled until her eyes narrowed. She watched her sons grow up gradually, and she was also aging slowly, but she felt that getting old was not terrible. The children and grandchildren were promising and filial. Even though I am old, I also have to rely on.

The prince also stood up to offer a toast, first to the Yu family, then to Shen Laiqiu, Shen Laiqiu calmly drank his toasted wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Shen Laiqiu looked at Wen Bohe with a third of drunkenness, and said in a muffled voice:

"You, just like my own nephew, I know that you are a member of the clan and have a noble status. From the perspective of outsiders, if you and my Li'er are together in the end, I, Li'er, will be the one to climb over. But I don't think so, My eldest son has been intelligent since he was a child, and he is extremely filial. He is a capable man who can do things for the common people. Even thousands of princes are not half as powerful as my son. It is not us who are superior, but your royal family who are superior!"

Shen Li hurriedly stopped his alcoholic father, "Father, what are you talking about? Drink some hangover soup!" Fortunately, they are not outsiders, otherwise, if this word spreads outside, his father will be ruined.His father is really "punishing", but why is he so sore in his heart?

Shen Laiqiu waved his hand and continued, "You must give our Shen family an answer as soon as possible. The name is wrong, the words are not right, this is wronging you, and it is wronging my Li'er. I am not a forced marriage, I wish you could Tomorrow, no, let’s separate now! Unfortunately, my son is stuck. I can’t do this, and I can’t bear to wrong him. March this year is a good time, and at that time, you need to give me an answer My son, what I said today is the heartfelt words of a father, and has nothing to do with Li Er. If the prince still disagrees...then, my son, I can still make the decision..."

Today, he must be a villain, for his son, he has to do so.He couldn't let a child who could have been the pride of heaven turn into a child molester in others' mouths. He didn't care that it would bring shame to the Shen family, but he cared about his son's reputation.

People need face, trees need bark, this has been the case since ancient times.Whoever makes his son ashamed, even if he fights his old life, he will have to break up with those so-called royal clans!

Wen Bohe stood up and bowed deeply, "Uncle, in this life, my only heart is for your eldest son, Shen Li. It was because the boy didn't think carefully before, and it was also because there was too much resistance in the clan, although I have been protesting with the clan , but in the end no consent was obtained. However, even if you give up the position of the son and become famous in the clan, the boy will not give up on Shen Li, let alone let Shen Li give up on the boy. For three months, if the boy still has not been recognized by the clan, Then, I will voluntarily be expelled from the family and join the Shen family."

After finishing speaking, they all looked at Shen Li.

Shen Li was stunned, he didn't know that this ordinary family banquet actually felt like a Hongmen banquet.

"Father, He Nian, you all sit down, don't get excited, you haven't reached that point yet..."

Mrs. Yu was also frightened, and hit Shen Laiqiu a few times, "How dare you say these words? Hurry up, don't talk about it! Son, don't worry about it, his father is drunk and confused, you are going to be busy!" Eat food, and after eating, go to set off fireworks, and I will help him go to the room to sleep!"

Wen Bohe comforted: "Auntie, there are no outsiders today, so don't panic. Since I want to be with Shen Li, I have considered everything my uncle said, and it was not a sudden impulse. Only time can prove that I am sincerity."

Shen Laiqiu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mrs. Yu, it was too late, since the prince had already stated his position today, then they couldn't press every step of the way, otherwise they would be suspected of climbing the dragon and the phoenix.Shen Laiqiu calmed down and asked Shen Yan to serve him a meal, and the family resumed the atmosphere of eating before.

Shen Yan secretly made up his mind that he must protect his brother well and never let anyone bully his brother.Shen Yan, who was only [-]% serious about the imperial examination, now has full motivation.

Go to the room to rest at night, Shen Li and Wen Bohe go to Shen Li's courtyard to rest together.

Amidst the brilliant fireworks, Wen Bohe took Shen Li's hand. Shen Li was afraid that he would feel depressed, so he said, "We met when we were young. You know what I am, and I know what you are. Is there any marriage?" , I don't care whether it will be recognized by everyone."

Wen Bohe rubbed Shen Li's finger, "But, I want to give you the best. Your father is right, I, Wen Bohe, admired you. Ever since I liked you, I feel that my whole life is all about you. With a different brilliance."

Before meeting Shen Li, Wen Bohe felt that a person's lifespan is predestined by heaven, and one cannot force it.Even a healthy person may encounter accidents, so he feels that the expectation of his father, queen, mother and concubine for his longevity is just a hopeless wish.But after meeting Shen Li, he discovered that people need to be cared for in life. Apart from parents, there is also someone who is closely connected with you and connected with each other. This is a rare blessing in the world, and he will cherish it.

He was in poor health when he was young, and there were people with ulterior motives who once poisoned himself at palace banquets, trying to provoke the relationship between his father and His Majesty.The relationship was successfully provoked, but he didn't expect that Emperor Xuan didn't care at all, and it wasn't enough to add trouble.And his father, although he always felt that his imperial brother was a suspicious person, he thought that the imperial brother had no reason to poison the young son, and if he wanted to poison him, he had to put it on him.

However, His Majesty did suppress him for several years, and also bullied him when he was the prince.Although in the eyes of Emperor Xuan, those bullies are nothing, and those who were really bullied by him have already been buried in the ground, but King An has always been unhappy in his heart, but he has no courage to resist.So, taking advantage of his poisoning incident, he unilaterally loathed the emperor for a long time. On the surface, he was respectful, but always did things that made the emperor unhappy when the emperor was happy.

Of course, Emperor Xuan didn't care at all about how his younger brother felt about him.There are many people who hate him, so what is King An?

Now His Majesty's rule is becoming more and more stable, and he admires Wen Bohe, a nephew who is capable of writing and martial arts, and King An's life is gradually becoming more comfortable. It can be said that "father is more valuable than son".

However, the father and mother have not yet found out who poisoned the poison. For a long time, they were like a frightened bird, making him pretend to be sick all the time, so as to confuse others, thinking that he would not live long. It's worth spending time on him.Afterwards, no one continued to attack him, and he gradually became less defensive.

Last month, His Majesty sent a letter to him, telling him that the person who poisoned him was a maid from the previous dynasty in the palace, and the remnants of the previous dynasty still existed, but as time went by, some of these insignificant remnants were captured. Bitten out, some simply made a mistake and were executed. A few days ago, some remnants of the previous dynasty colluded with Chen Guo in an attempt to poison His Majesty. They jumped the wall in a hurry, and they lost to Dazhao in several battles. There will be more cities lost, but Emperor Xuan disagrees.

He tried his best to fight against all opinions, and if he wanted to continue fighting, he would not give up until Chen Guo needed to recuperate for decades.

There were also anti-war ministers in the court, but Emperor Xuan refused to listen.He planned to return to Beijing in two days, ask His Majesty for orders to conquer Chen Guo, to increase his military achievements, and ask His Majesty to help him put pressure on the clan and marry Shen Li smoothly.

Wen Bohe thought, maybe His Majesty had agreed a long time ago, and now there is still a reasonable excuse missing. Both Emperor Xuan and he acquiesced that they could not get it from Shen Li, but it had to be from him.Shen Li's credit can't just be exchanged for a marriage, but his credit for a marriage is what Emperor Xuan and himself would like to see.
