Chapter 509 It’s hard to guard against domestic thieves
In fact, what Chen Dongjia didn’t know was that Shen Zhiqiu’s words were all on point.
Ever since the news came back that Duke Fu and his son had lost contact while pursuing the remaining Northern Yuan troops.
Fu Huaian's grandmother, Her Royal Highness the Princess, appears to be very strong to outsiders.
Just as Shen Zhiqiu said, their family's rice bowl is too big, and as the eldest princess, she naturally knows what it means to put the overall situation first.
The old man also thinks that he can get over it, but when it is late at night and everyone is asleep, his heart feels like it is being pricked by a needle.
The same is true for the old Duke. Although he was a military commander, even when he was young, he also sacrificed his life for the court, regardless of life and death.
But when he thought that there might really be a chance that he would have to bury his loved ones, he felt as if he had lost hope.
But the court was still in turmoil, with a war in the north. Although the old Duke had retired, he was tasked with training soldiers.
He is no better than an ordinary father, because even if he is worried about his sons and grandchildren, he doesn't have much time to miss them.
The old duke, sitting in the bathtub, slowly closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
But when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were red, maybe because of the moisture or something else.
The Duchess's wife, who had been in good health, looked much more haggard in recent days and was helped to lie down by her personal maid.
His eyes were fixed on the bed curtains.
She told herself again and again that she was the wife of Duke Fu and the mistress of the house. No matter what happened,
She couldn't just give up, because she still had to take care of the Duke's Mansion on behalf of her husband and son and fulfill her filial duties for them.
Even the Prince of Yan in the palace has been distracted recently when reviewing memorials.
His cousin went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen. Now, more than twenty years have passed, and he is still fighting for him. He even takes his only son deep into the grassland.
Sometimes he would even wonder, was this expedition right or wrong?
He was really afraid that some bad news would suddenly come from the north. In that case, even if the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, the King of Yan felt that he could not afford the price.
So, these great figures also have their own sorrows.
Shen Zhiqiu, who had been busy outside all day, sat on the kang in the evening and looked down at his son's head.
The little man squatted on the ground, washing his old father's feet with his little hands.
After washing, they wiped the feet clean with a foot cloth. Shen Zhiqiu teased the two big feet and said, "You didn't do this job properly. You have to check whether it is clean after washing."
Shen Luming was confused: "It's already been washed very clean, how can it be cleaner? Dad, are you getting old and your eyesight is not good?"
Shen Zhiqiu looked at his son and said unhappily: "What's the point of just looking at it? You have to smell it to see if it stinks. Don't I smell it every time I wash you?"
His son actually smelled it and said, "Eh, it still stinks."
"Hahaha!"
Shen Zhiqiu was amused by his son's cute appearance. He grabbed his son's armpits, lifted him up to his arms, and rubbed him, making the little boy giggle with joy.
Li Jingshu slapped him in the face, saying that he was doing nothing but punishing the children.
Shen Youyou, who had just finished bathing and was wearing underwear and wiping her wet hair, couldn't help laughing.
"Dad, did Lord Mao tell you what position you will be in?"
Shen Zhiqiu, who had just let go of his son, shook his head: "No, he said you'll know when you report."
The other families of the Nine Clans were also so excited that they couldn't sleep today, because after their third son came back, he told everyone about Lord Mao from the Ministry of Revenue during dinner, and what he wanted to see him about.
"From now on, the Third Brother will truly become an official!"
Aren't they excited? To be honest, they didn't make any fanfare, but just had a few days of buffets. That's already very low-key, okay?
For this matter, they opened the ancestral hall again before finishing their meal.
Grandpa Shen led the entire family to kneel down and told the ancestors that our family was finally going to change its fate.
You have to know that the Shen family has never had an official for several generations.
Today is a really good day.
But some people are not in a good mood.
Look, Gao Erzhuang sneaked in, dragging his father Gao Shuangxi, and came to the Jiu Zu cafeteria at night?
Gao Shuangxi was confused: "What are you doing sneaking around so late at night?"
"Dad, you said that if my third uncle becomes an official in the future, will it still be possible for me to propose marriage to his family?"
The main reason was that Er Zhuang thought that people said that marriage should be done with equal status, and since his uncle was an official,
From then on, in their family, not to mention Youyou, even Da Ya and Er Ya were considered daughters of officials.
He was so anxious that he didn't care about being embarrassed anymore. He had to find his father as soon as possible to sort out the matter.
"Wait a minute, what is this?"
These words scared the eldest son of the Gao family, Gao Shuangxi, and he interrupted his son in a hurry, looking at his son with scrutinizing eyes.
His eyes swept up and down, and in the candlelight, he looked at his second son's body thoroughly.
Gao Erzhuang felt a little scared when he saw this.
He said with a look of disbelief:
"How can you be so careless? You want to be so ambitious. You dare to think about anyone, and don't you think about whether you are worthy of them?"
Gao Erzhuang was stunned by the scolding: "What? Why are you not worthy?"
"Okay, can't you see clearly whether you are worthy or not? What kind of girl is Yoyo? Let's not talk about her status first. Just look at Yoyo's intelligence. Marrying you? Do you think it's possible?"
Gao Shuangxi almost shouted this sentence, but he didn't dare to shout it out loud.
Afraid that those who lived closer to the canteen might hear him, he lowered his voice and yelled, but his eyes were bulging as big as bells.
"Dad, keep your voice down. Who said you wanted to marry Youyou? How old is Youyou?"
"If you don't want to marry Youyou, then what does it matter if your uncle is an official or not?"
Gao Erzhuang felt that his father was really causing trouble: "I'm talking about Daya. Daya is my third uncle's niece. Doesn't that mean she's also a lady from an official family?"
As luck would have it, Shen Zhichun, who came to bring sesame oil to his wife in the middle of the night, heard this sentence.
Song had been feeling a little irritated these past two days, and when she was about to go to bed tonight, she started coughing again.
I was thinking, instead of asking Doctor Guo to get up so late at night to prescribe medicine, I could just take some sesame oil home and drink a few sips, which would also help relieve the cough.
What a coincidence it was when he heard these words that the atmosphere froze for a moment. Oh my god, someone is thinking about his daughter!
It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.
Now that the girl has grown up, she has been eyeing many boys from other families in the village, who often come to their house to hang around.
He has been keeping an eye on those guys intentionally or unintentionally recently.
The third son of his family said that it is not good for a girl to get married when she is too young, and he cannot let his good girl be coveted by others so easily.
But I never expected that this thief was so hard to guard against!
