At that time, the old man of the Li family was still alive, and it was precisely because of old man Li that this child was able to receive the best education. Although he was a commoner, he was treated like a direct descendant and received the best treatment from the Li family.
However, the Li family's "Qilin'er", on whom hope was placed, failed to grow up smoothly.
Because of an "accident", he died young.
but!
Master Shen knew that the child's death was not an accident, but...
Being murdered!
And this person is surprisingly his eldest brother - Li Yancheng!
"No...impossible!"
"Yan Cheng... Yan Cheng can't be such a person!"
"He...he...wouldn't do such a thing!"
"..."
When Mrs. Shen clearly heard the news from Mrs. Shen, she finally lost her composure.
However, no matter how much Mrs. Shen tried to excuse Li Yancheng, Mr. Shen still slowly told the whole thing.
The expression is calm, then cruel!
"The child who died young was actually pushed from behind."
Master Shen didn't care about his wife's performance and just let her scream hysterically.
"None of this is an accident at all."
Mr. Shen calmly told the story of the public case ten years ago clearly.
More than ten years ago, Li Fang took a girl from a good family as his concubine. This person's name was Hua Xiaoniang. She was also from an innocent family. However, it was because of her family's financial difficulties that she became a concubine and followed Li Fang.
Speaking of which, this situation is similar to that of Wei Shuyi. However, at that time, Li Fang was a newly minted scholar, and it was also a time when he was in high spirits. Therefore, for Hua Xiaoniang, she followed Li Fang. It's not too embarrassing.
Perhaps because she offended the literary spirit at the time, Hua Xiaoniang soon gave birth to a child for Li Fang, named Yan Ting.
And this child is the "Qilin'er" of the Li family mentioned earlier.
Li Yanting has been a little unusual since he was born. Compared with other children, his reactions are always much smarter.
While other people's children could only lie in their swaddling clothes, drooling and screaming stupidly, Li Yanting was already able to turn over and crawl around.
And when Li Yanting could walk, the children next to him of the same age could only sit up...
In short, compared with others, Li Yanting is always one step ahead and can do things that other children cannot do.
Li Yanting's vision soon attracted the attention of the Li family, or to be precise, Mr. Li's attention.
At the right time, Mr. Li is still alive. At the same time, he is also worried about the future of the Li family, fearing that when he gets old, the entire Li family will decline.
As the saying goes, no one knows his son better than his father.
As a father, Mr. Li knows his two sons very well and knows that they are not talented people. On the contrary, they are still guys with high aspirations and thin lives.
When Mr. Li was alive, that was all. He could still control them in the name of his father. However, if Mr. Li unfortunately passed away, then the two brothers would not have a "tightening curse" on their heads!
By that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to restrain them and stop their misbehavior.
Therefore, Mr. Li, who was anxious in his heart, had no choice but to find a child among the third generation of the Li family who could withstand troubles, so that he could carry the name of the Li family and ensure that A family legacy.
And in this way, the two most outstanding grandsons of the Li family fell into the eyes of the man in charge of the Li family.
Namely, Li Yancheng, and Li Yanting.
At that time, Li Yancheng was nine years old and Li Yanting was five years old. However, although there was a four-year age difference between them, they were treated equally by Mr. Li and were trained and...tested by him together.
However, even if Li Yancheng had been exposed to essay writing in advance, every time he was evaluated by Mr. Li, he was always the same as Li Yanting. Even later, he became less and less able to maintain this state. In the end, , Li Yancheng is completely inferior to Li Yanting.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Li's look at Li Yanting became more and more kind. However, such a look was Li Yancheng's inner nightmare!
So, after careful planning, Li Yancheng finally took action against his half-brother!
"That day, when something happened to Yan Ting, Wen Lu had seen Yan Cheng."
Wen Lu is an old man who has been with Master Shen for a long time. There is no need to doubt his loyalty.
Likewise, that is to say, what he said is also true.
"It's near the Qinghan Pond of the Li family."
Master Shen told what he knew about the situation and said: "At that time, Wen Lu was in a hurry, so he hid in a corner in the garden for convenience. By chance, he saw Yan Cheng walking out from near Qinghan Pond. .”
Hearing this, Madam Shen began to clutch her palms tightly, her face extremely gloomy.
"And not long ago, the news of Yan Ting's accident came out!"
After all, Master Shen still didn't say it clearly, but just said tactfully: "Madam, you should remember what Yan Cheng said at that time."
"He said that he always studies in the house and never goes out!"
"You must also know the meaning of this!"
Mrs. Shen did not speak, but pursed her lips tightly, looking a little dazed.
She really didn't expect that the nephew she had always been most optimistic about would do such a heartless thing!
You know, no matter what, Yan Ting will always be his younger brother by blood!
In fact, Yan Ting was just a child at that time. Even though he had some talents, he didn't know anything about other things. He only knew how to be close to his elder brother.
Perhaps Hua Xiaoniang's contribution was responsible here, but it is undeniable that Yan Ting has been following his eldest brother Li Yancheng and getting close to him.
It's a pity that all of this was paid by mistake in the end!
"so!"
Master Shen finally concluded: "Madam, now you understand my concerns!"
…
This day passed very quickly.
Like an arrow on a string, it disappeared in an instant.
Sheng Changquan finally had a meal at the Shen family. However, for some unknown reason, only Master Shen among the elders of the Shen family came out during the meal, but Mrs. Shen did not attend.
In this regard, the reason given by Master Shen was that Mrs. Shen was not feeling well, so she could not come forward and was only recuperating in the backyard. After hearing the news, Shen Li immediately went back to the backyard to take care of her mother, leaving only Sheng Changquan. Drink at the same table with Mr. Shen.
As for Shen Jun, it was because of the great defense between men and women that he did not appear in front of Sheng Changquan at all. Speaking of which, Sheng Changquan felt very comfortable because of this.
After all, not having that kind of attention made him feel more comfortable.
Then again, since everyone was absent, Sheng Changquan took the opportunity to have a brief chat with Mr. Shen about the Yu family's affairs.
I have to say that it is convenient to talk to smart people.
Sheng Changquan just talked about the friendship between the Sheng and Yu families during the time when he was sipping tea after dinner. Master Shen just heard the words and understood the meaning of Sheng Changquan's words.
So, when Sheng Changquan came out of Shen's house, in addition to a basket of return gifts, he also carried a letter in his arms written by Master Shen to Mr. Yu Ge.
One thing needs to be made clear here, that is, Lord Shen cannot write directly to Mr. Yu Ge, but the situation between their two families is that they have little friendship, and there is no other special communication. Apart from official business, Lord Shen is I'm really embarrassed to write about something personal.
After all, Shen Shouzheng's request for Mr. Yu Ge's recommendation was really not a business matter because Shen Shouzheng's own selfish motives were involved.
Moreover, this is a special period, and the courtiers who can be selected as candidates to join the cabinet are really not allowed to visit the Yu family's door, lest they be criticized for this and damage the reputation of the two families.
As the saying goes, three people become tigers, secretly does not count. If someone comes to the Yu family's door openly, there will be many stories to tell in the future!
Therefore, at this time, Sheng Changquan took on the responsibility of a messenger to contact the Shen and Yu families and make them happy.
…
Return trip.
"Master, how are you doing today?"
Xu Changqing followed Sheng Changquan and asked softly.
"Huh? Very good!"
Sheng Changquan knew the meaning of Xu Changqing's words and understood that he was curious about Mr. Shen's entry into the cabinet. However, such a big event was not easy to spread, so Sheng Changquan did not intend to go into details. He just said generally: "What I want to do is , everything has been solved!”
"ah?"
Xu Changqing scratched his head, a little doubtful: "Master, don't lie to me. Have you really solved everything?"
"Then...that's what happened with Mr. Yuge..."
Xu Changqing pinched his throat and asked in a low voice: "Have you solved it too?"
"hehe!"
In this regard, Sheng Changquan didn't say anything else, he just smiled and kept everything... in silence.
"Alas~"
After seeing his young master's mysterious smile, Xu Changqing's face turned bitter: "Master, you..."
In fact, Xu Changqing had already guessed the outcome of the trip when he saw Sheng Changquan's smile when he left the Shen Mansion. However, because of his temper, even if he had guessed it, he still wanted to get Sheng Changquan's personal confirmation.
However, Sheng Changquan said nothing until the end...
…
Shengfu.
"call!"
"Finally back!"
When Sheng Changquan returned home, he immediately felt a quiet and harmonious atmosphere.
Although Sheng Mansion does not have the strength of Shen Mansion, as long as you stand within this range, you can always feel at ease.
Unknowingly, Sheng Changquan had already regarded this Sheng Mansion as his real home!
"Seventh Young Master!"
"Um?"
Suddenly hearing someone calling him, Sheng Changquan quickly turned around.
"Seventh Young Master..."
In the distance, Sheng Changbai's young man Khan Niu hurried over: "Seventh Young Master! The Lord has given orders and said that he and the Second Young Master are waiting for you in the Hanhai Hall!"
…
(Change first and then change)
…
Hanhaitang is clearly Sheng Hong's study room.
In the entire Sheng Mansion, apart from Shou'an Hall, Hanhai Hall has the highest status.
Generally speaking, unless there is something important, Sheng Hong does not allow outsiders to enter.
In fact, even Madam Wang, Sheng Changquan and others have not entered a few times!
Of course, the former is because they don't like to read, so they don't like the past, while the latter is because they were still young and didn't have much access to things, or they may not have encountered many serious things, so, Sheng Hong wouldn't let them in to avoid leaking anything.
Of course, there is nothing in the Sheng Mansion that can be leaked. From Sheng Hong's behavior, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to Hanhaitang.
After all, for the head of the family, the study is his most personal and important place.
"Father's study?"
After hearing Khan Niu's message, Sheng Changquan raised his eyebrows and looked slightly surprised.
"Yeah, I know!"
Seeing Khan Niu panting slightly, Sheng Changquan said: "You go down first!"
Although he was a little surprised, Sheng Changquan didn't go into details. He just waved his hand to Khan Niu and motioned for him to go down first.
"Yes, Master Seven!"
Khan Niu restrained his panting, bowed respectfully to Sheng Changquan, and then retreated obediently.
Because Han Niu was from Sheng Changbai, his attitude towards Sheng Changquan was also very respectful.
This was not only because of Sheng Changquan's own excellence, but more importantly, Han Niu could often hear Sheng Changbai's praise for him.
As a servant, Han Niu naturally has to follow his master's footsteps, worry about his master's needs, and think about his master's thoughts. Therefore, he is naturally a little more careful and respectful towards Sheng Changquan.
"Chang Qing!"
Sheng Changquan turned around, first handed everything in his hand to his, and then ordered: "Take these gifts from the Shen family back to my yard and let Ziyuan and the others collect them! "
"Let them share some of the snacks and snacks for themselves."
With that said, Sheng Changquan pointed to one of the red boxes and said, "But don't let them touch the things inside!"
"Put this box in my study. You can look at it yourself and deal with it when I come back."
What is contained in this red box is actually the letter written by Master Shen to Mr. Yu Ge.
"Yes, Master!"
Xu Changqing naturally nodded seriously and agreed to Sheng Changquan's instructions.
"good!"
Sheng Changquan nodded slightly and signaled Xu Changqing to go first.
Because Ze Yutang and Hanhaitang were not on the same road, when Xu Changqing gradually walked away with his things in his arms, Sheng Changquan turned around leisurely and walked towards his father's study.
As he walked, he was still thinking and guessing why his father and brother asked him to go to the study.
"Could it be that they are because of my visit to the Shen family today?"
"Uh-huh!"
