The Laughing Usa of the Red Chamber

When he came out of Du Ruoqing's courtyard, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and Jinxiu was lighting a lantern in front of him. Shen Yulin closed his eyes, and the night wind blew by, bringing up his hair on the corner of his forehead.

Today is getting colder day by day, counting the days, the war in Beiyi is about to start, but fortunately the Supervisor has already received a clear order and will not be shelved.

During the three years of the barbarian war, he never thought of mixing anything, literature is literature, and martial arts is martial arts.When he was in power at the beginning of his previous life, the Di family was in chaos, the Jiangnan plague, and the front line was trapped in four barriers, so he had to make a ruthless plan... Later Di Mie, but until his death, some officials denounced him as a tiger's poison .

Now that he is still young, he has worked hard for three years, which is enough to gain some qualifications.

Although the rule of Shengwu is a model in the prosperous age, it is not without faults. If you can make up for the flaws of the ages in the next life, you will be worthy of this life.

The courtyard of Yang's Mansion is not as exquisite as Yushi's Mansion, nor as comfortable as his Wutong Courtyard, but fortunately, he only stayed for one night.Shen Yulin turned on the lamp by himself, and the room lit up immediately.

The Yunhan incense in the furnace was half burnt, but Man Ting was nowhere to be seen, Jinxiu smiled and said: "He went to feed the cat, my lord doesn't know, these days Man Ting raises that cat like an ancestor."

When he said this, Shen Yulin thought of the little wild cat that had scratched him, and couldn't help laughing: "It's no wonder that the cat has aura."

Jinxiu snorted softly: "If the young master sees you now, you won't feel aura!"

He said, making a circle bigger than a head, and said: "The cat is so fat that it can't fit in the medicine box. The whole court has been thinking about changing it to a bigger one... and it will be more transparent. Breathe, yesterday he almost tore the window satin to paste his precious medicine box..."

Shen Yulin was amused and didn't say anything.

He set off the next day, drove for half a month, and returned to the capital.

There are many things to welcome back, and I will omit them.

Passing through the corridor is the main hall of Shen's residence. Although the decorations everywhere have not been seen for a few months, it still seems like yesterday.

Shen Xiang looked a little more relaxed, but his eyes were extremely bright. He untied Shen Yulin's cloak with his own hands, and said comfortingly: "It's Master who underestimated you. The Jiangnan party made such a big commotion."

Shen Yulin smiled and said: "At first it was just a rough idea, but later because the prince paid attention to it, it gradually had a framework."

Shen Xiang nodded, then sighed again: "It's just that this time, this disciple is considered to have reached the sky in one step, I don't know how many people are staring at it... Forget it, what are you talking about..."

He said, patted Shen Yulin's shoulder with a smile, and said: "You just remember not to slack off in official duties, and the master is by your side."

Shen Yulin's heart warmed, and he nodded with a smile.

Shen Xiang sat back on her seat, took a sip of tea, Fang said: "Although your yard is taken care of every day, it hasn't been occupied for a long time, and this time you just got an errand, so it's time for you to establish a household."

Shen Yulin said in shock: "Master!"

Shen Xiang took out a piece of deed paper from his sleeve, put it on the table, and said: "This mansion was originally lived in by brother Lin when he was the censor of Zuodu, so it is considered noble..."

Shen Yulin has sincerely respected Shen Xiang as his father all these years, pursed his lips and said: "I haven't reached the crown yet, so, isn't it too early?"

Shen Xiang sighed lightly, and said: "How can there be any reason why a third-rank official still lives in his uncle's house? You should be more cautious now that you are new to a high position."

Shen Yulin closed her eyes and lowered her head slightly.

Seeing the tense expression of his lover, Shen Xiang softened his heart, and couldn't help persuading him in a low voice: "This mansion is also located on Yongning Street, and it is also close to your natal family. After passing through the Wangfu, it is the imperial city, and it is very cheap to travel. If I miss Master, I will come back to have a look... It's just a change of residence."

Shen Yulin knew that since Shen Xiang said so, the matter was settled, sighed, and replied: "Thank you, Master, for taking care of this disciple."

"Speaking of the crown..." Shen Xiang looked at Shen Yulin's hair tied up with the auspicious cloud white jade hairpin, and said: "Now that you have also entered the officialdom, you can't justify dressing up like this. I will contact you tomorrow. Clan elder, find an auspicious day to crown you."

Shen Yulin was startled, and agreed.

Although men are crowned on double tenth, if there is a secret, they can also perform the crowning ceremony in advance.

Speechless for a while.

Seeing Shen Yulin holding the blue and white teacup and lowering his eyes, Shen Xiang sighed: "Forget it, go see your mother first, you will be living in the original wing for a few days."

Shen Yulin pursed her lips and nodded.

......

It was still daylight, so Zhao Yanran got up and waited until [-]:[-] noon.

"No matter how anxious my sister-in-law is, she won't stop eating. Brother, isn't he going to pick someone up?" Chen Yanyu said helplessly.

Mrs. Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, sister-in-law, don't starve my little nephew, breakfast is useless..."

Sitting on the edge of the embroidered couch, Zhao Yanran lowered her head and stroked her chubby belly, curled her lips and said, "It's the rambunctious one in my stomach... Life is so precious and people are too delicate, watching these meals is really lazy."

Mrs. Zhao persuaded: "I was pregnant with Brother Yi in the same way, but I had to eat it. My sister-in-law sees how weak Brother Yi is now..."

Zhao Yanran twitched the corners of her mouth, she couldn't hold that boy Chen Junyi anymore, okay?So weak...Is it compared with Chen Mutou?

Chen Yanyu also felt that these words were too false, she glanced at her wife lightly, and was about to say something when she heard Zhao Yanran happily say: "Here we come!"

Coincidentally, Chen Yanyu had never seen Shen Yulin once, raised her eyebrows, turned around, and saw Chen Yanqing bringing a young man in plain clothes and long gown into the door.

That young man's phoenix eyes were shining, his lips were smiling, his facial features were four points similar to Zhao Yanran's, he should have a gorgeous and compelling appearance, but because of the inexplicable demeanor around him, he showed a bit of gentleness and humility.

"I've been saying I'll be there since yesterday, why are you coming back now?" Zhao Yanran supported her stomach with one hand, walked quickly to Shen Yulin, and tried to pull his ears.

Because she moved too fast, Chen Yanyu and his wife didn't react at all. Zhao Yanran didn't frighten Shen Yulin, but frightened Chen Yanqing enough.

He hurriedly turned behind Zhao Yanran, gently brought her into his arms, and held her waist.

Zhao Yanran glanced at him, but did not break free.

Shen Yulin pursed her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "Yesterday on the road, I happened to run into some people calling for grievances, so I was delayed for a while, and my mother was worried."

Zhao Yanran sighed: "It's nothing like this, so the family's grievances are settled? Those who can stop the official sedan chair to cry for grievances must be driven to a dead end. Help if you can. This is a matter of great virtue. "

Later, Du Ruoqing took care of this matter, so he didn't ask any more questions, but after Zhao Yanran mentioned it, Shen Yulin smiled and said: "Of course it will be done, your lord is kind, how can you leave unjust cases alone?"

Zhao Yanran nodded, but heard Chen Yanqing say: "Didn't eat?"

Shen Yulin took a glance, and sure enough, he saw a table of untouched meals in the side hall from a distance.

"It's all because of your son! My old lady doesn't want to eat it, but she will spit it out every time she eats it, no matter how good her appetite is!"

Chen Yanqing said seriously: "I have to eat."

He was used to giving orders in the army, and when he lowered his face, he also had a certain majesty. Zhao Yanran was a little apprehensive at first glance, but she just lowered her head and saw that Chen Mutou was carefully protecting her arms so that she would not fall down. The courage came back immediately, and hummed: "You still dare to teach me a lesson, if you don't want to eat, you just don't want to..."

In the middle of speaking, she suddenly remembered that her son was still there, her face flushed with shame, she plunged into Chen Yanqing's thick arms, and refused to raise her head again.

Chen Yanqing's ears turned red, and his voice slowed down, he said in a low voice: "Then I'll take you to eat white sugar cakes, the one in the east of the city, [-] cents a bag, okay?"

Zhao Yanran only felt her cheeks burning hot, and she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her son anymore, so she snorted like a mosquito.

Seeing that she agreed, Chen Yanqing sank his left arm, lifted her with his right arm, and stammered: "I, I'm going first..."

Shen Yulin looked at Chen Yanqing's back like a bandit snatching a marriage, and was silent.

Chen Yanyu knew her brother's virtues best, and said with a smile: "Is this Yulin's nephew? Recently, there are all rumors about you in Beijing. It really is a hero born of a young man, and the sky is full of childish age."

Shen Yulin came back to his senses, bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a smile: "I dare not be..."

Chen Yanyu smiled and said, "You call me Second Uncle Chen."

Zhao said with a smile: "I can't blame my sister-in-law for talking about it every day. My nephew has such a character and appearance, there is no other in the whole world!"

Shen Yulin smiled lightly and said, "Auntie is too good-for-nothing."

Chen Yanyu said with a smile: "That's true. My nephew is the number one scholar in the six imperial examinations. In another 500 years, there may not be a second one."

Shen Yulin's phoenix eyes drooped slightly, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Second Uncle Chen, don't put a high hat on Yulin anymore. You know how big Yulin is."

Chen Yanyu paused, and said to Mrs. Zhao, "You make me make some tea."

Mrs. Zhao nodded in response, bowed sideways and avoided going out.

The two sat down, and the smile on Shen Yulin's lips faded slightly.

The tea is the best maple dew tea, which is just right for autumn. Chen Yanyu took a sip, her peach blossom eyes slightly raised, and said with a smile: "Nephew Yulin must have guessed it. Second uncle has something to say?"

Shen Yulin nodded and said with a smile: "Second Uncle Chen thinks it's because of... the matter of being a prisoner in the military?"

Chen Yanyu said: "Speaking of it, I'm not afraid of my nephew's jokes. Although this dynasty is said to be equal in civil and military affairs, there are not many high-ranking generals. Since the old generals left the first-rank admiral the year before last, the four highest-ranking generals in the army are. .....all are second grade..."

Almost all military generals are within the scope of supervision.

Shen Yulin narrowed her eyes with a half-smile, and took a sip of her tea.

Seeing him like this, Chen Yanyu pursed her lips, and said again: "In the army, rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Since the founding of the country, there has been a system of its own, and it has been followed to this day. The system of supervision and evaluation is really not applicable."

Shen Yulin raised his eyes, put down the teacup, and said: "Military regulations are the first emperor's iron orders, whether to move or not, it's not up to Yulin to speak."

Chen Yanyu sighed: "In the army, the strong are always respected. If this method is used, the army's morale may not be stable. The second uncle has already gone to the imperial court, and he just wants my nephew to take a stand."

Shen Yulin raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and then smiled and said: "Wen Xingwen Dao, martial arts have martial arts, in the army...it depends on strength to speak."
