Chapter 203: Resign from the military position and study for the imperial examination at home!
The more Emperor Renxiao thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible!
After Zhou Ruyuan left, Emperor Renxiao asked some more about Shen Lanxi's exile, and incidentally mentioned her joining the army.
The emperor's question seemed casual, but if he really took it as casual, he would be a fool. Shen Lanxi followed the flow and told the story of his defection to the army. Of course, she packaged it all specially.
Emperor Renxiao was very moved when he heard her say that in the winter in Dongchuan, several cartloads of people could be picked up and dead people were picked up every day.
"Lan Xi, thank you for your hard work. Something like this happened to the Shen family before, and my uncle had to cut the knot quickly and send you away to save your lives!"
Shen Lanxi nodded with an understanding look on her face: "Uncle, I know that if it weren't for your help, our Shen family might have been gone long ago!"
Seeing that she understood, Emperor Renxiao didn't think she was faking it. , and felt grateful that she had suffered a lot, so he rewarded her with many things, and then asked her to go back to rest. After the etiquette department was ready to receive the feast, she went to the palace to talk!
Shen Lanxi thanked her for her kindness and left the palace.
Emperor Renxiao looked at Shen Lanxi's leaving figure thoughtfully.
The soldiers outside the city, Emperor Renxiao, made arrangements again. She will rush to the northwest in the near future. The soldiers will not enter the city to disturb the people. They will set up camp ten miles away, and special personnel will deliver food and drink every day.
Shen Lanxi returned to the Shen family with a bunch of rewards. The originally lively scene of the Shen family suddenly became frozen.
"Sister, you're back!" Shen Yuantang and others hurriedly called.
Shen Lanxi nodded slightly and headed straight to her courtyard with Chun Xue Qiu Shuang.
Wei Rulan suddenly exclaimed: "Did someone clean up the eldest lady's yard?"
Everyone's expressions changed.
Shen Yuanjing looked at his father: "Father, you have been back for so long, and you haven't even cleaned up a few houses, right?"
Shen Congwen's expression suddenly changed when his son questioned him like this. Joy.
"After I come back, I will naturally be busy cleaning up the house where my mother and I live, and then everyone else. Then it will be your grandparents, and some time ago it was the Queen's Qianqiu. Your mother and I were After being invited to the palace to attend the Qianqiu Banquet, there is no time to stare!"
Shen Yuanjing's eyes were sharp: "So, you haven't tidied up the eldest sister's yard?"
After being exposed by his son, Shen Congwen became angry from shame.
"Who knew she would come back so soon? She is so capable, who knows if she would like this small place like ours."
Shen Congwen looked at his father in disbelief, unable to believe this. The words actually came out of his mouth.
"Father, have our rooms been tidied up?"
Shen Congwen couldn't believe that his son could force him to this point.
He just deliberately prevented people from cleaning up the yard where Shen Lanxi lived, and he deliberately wanted to give her power. how? As a father, couldn't he teach the younger generation a lesson like this?
After following that rebellious woman for a long time, Yuan Jing also changed.
Shen Congwen looked at his son with a sad face. His son was supposed to be a scholar and should take the imperial examination to become the top scholar. Instead of acting like a reckless man like now, he only knows how to run rampant.
"Yuan Jing, where have you been reading? Have you forgotten the word filial piety? Who allowed you to talk to your father like this?" Shen Congwen glared at his son with a stern face.
Shen Yuanjing moved his mouth and wanted to refute, but was suppressed by filial piety and could not speak out.
"I have resumed my post at the Ministry of Household Affairs two days ago. You can resign from the military position tomorrow. From now on, you can study and take the imperial examination at home peacefully!"
Shen Yuanjing was like a wake-up call, like a bolt from the blue.
What kind of joke is your father talking about?
"Father, my son is a military general one day, and he will be a military general all his life. My son can read, but he can't take the imperial examination. Yuanqing is still young. If he is willing, you can let him study!"
Shen Yuanqing refused after hearing this! Well, he doesn’t like reading books the most.
“Brother, I want to be a military general in the future, I don’t like studying!”
Shen Congwen's eyes turned black.
"Okay, you are all grown up, and you have learned how to make extraordinary changes!"
Shen Yuanxu: "Uncle, I think now is not the time for us to discuss who should study. The yard has not been tidied up yet. I went to help clean up the yard.”
Shen Yuankun: "I'm going too!" The two of them left in a hurry, and Mrs. Liu couldn't hold them back.
Shen Yuanpeng, Shen Yuanhao and others couldn't stay any longer. The eldest sister finally returned home, only to encounter such a thing.
They are the men of the Shen family and they must stand up to support the eldest sister.
Even Mrs. Shen didn't stop when she called them.
In the room, Mrs. Shen, Shen Congwen, mother and son had dark faces, and no one else dared to speak. The originally lively atmosphere became more depressing than the mourning hall.
It was Mr. Shen who told them to go back to their houses to rest, and then the people in the house dispersed.
……
When Shen Lanxi returned to her yard, she already felt very strange. Even if it was a brick or a piece of wood in this yard, she seemed to have never looked at it directly.
"Just clean it up, we won't live here long!"
Although Chun Xue and Qiu Shuang were unhappy, they didn't dare to show it in front of Shen Lanxi and hurriedly went to find something to work on.
When Shen Yuanjing arrived, she was already sorting out His Majesty's last report.
They are all flashy things with royal markings, and you can’t exchange them for money!
"General!"
Shen Lanxi: "This is home, just call me big sister!" She punched in each box one by one.
"This is your Majesty's last time, you choose one!"
Shen Yuanjing refused without even looking at it.
“Sister, your majesty has given this to you, I can’t take it!”
Shen Lanxi: "Let's pick first, otherwise Yuan Jun, Yuan Xu and the others will take all the good things!"
Shen Yuanjing hesitated for a moment, the eldest sister never said polite words, just give it away.
He looked at them one by one and chose a set of ruby heads and faces.
"Give this to mother, mother will definitely like it!"
Shen Lanxi raised her lips: "Have you seen mother since you came back?"
Shen Yuanjing: "Yes, when I went there, mother After taking the medicine and looking tired, I said a few words to her and came out.”
Shen Lanxi's eyes flashed and she said, "I'll go shopping for some valuable medicinal materials to make tonics later and send them to my mother!"
Shen Yuanjing knew that her eldest sister would not ignore her mother, and she felt relieved. His tone was also much lighter.
“Sister, won’t Xiao Fang and the others enter the city?”
Shen Lanxi: "If you don't come in, don't take the initiative to look for them. The court will send someone to deliver food and grass to them!"
Shen Yuanjing nodded thoughtfully.
Shen Yuanxu and others are here.
"Sister, let's help you clean it up!"
Shen Lanxi was not polite to them, but also let them choose a reward, and then sent them to do their work.
The moon was high in the sky, and a dark shadow entered Shen Lanxi's room.
"Have you found the person who is chasing you?"
Ban Sicao: "No, but I guess that person must be in the palace!"
Shen Lanxi: "The palace will hold a reception banquet the day after tomorrow. , you can pretend to be my maid and go into the palace with me!”
Ban Sicao froze: "Why not guards?"
"Guards cannot enter the palace unless they are eunuchs!"
