The night is closing in the west.
The guests of the Shen family dispersed.
Mrs. Tian looked at Taifu Shen's expression and said cautiously: "Yuan'er has been kneeling outside the door for a whole day. He already knows that he was wrong."
Taifu Shen looked disappointed, "Let him come in."
Tian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to find Shen Wenyuan.
The attendant supported the limping Shen Wenyuan as he walked in. He knelt down and saluted:
"Dad, my son knows he is wrong. Uncle Zhongyi has been kind to me for adoption. Even if Jiang Rong and I have different personalities and have some conflicts, I should not turn her away because of this."
Taifu Shen stared at him with a pair of sharp eyes, "Are these words your sincere words?"
Shen Wenyuan knelt all day today, thinking about how to solve this matter.
First of all, he understood that his father had a deep relationship with Jiang Qingyuan, and he had to emphasize his gratitude to Uncle Zhongyi.
"My son always remembers Uncle Zhongyi's kindness and has never forgotten it. It's a pity that he died young and failed to fulfill his filial piety in front of him. This is my son's biggest regret."
"My son was supposed to love his wife and get along well with Jiang Rong. But today he acted impulsively. When I was reflecting just now, I thought of Uncle Zhongyi's kindness, and I felt very regretful." Shen Wenyuan regretted every word, his face full of regret.
Taifu Shen's expression softened slightly, "What's the conflict between you and Girl Jiang?"
"A few days ago, Zhou Hongyang invited me to dinner. On the way, he wanted to seal up Jiang Rong's study. My son tried to persuade me, but he didn't stop me, so he went with him. He just thought that if they had a conflict, he could stop him. bar……"
"The confrontation between Jiang Rong and Zhou Hongyang was very urgent. I was worried that she was openly resisting arrest and the matter would get serious, so I advised her to go to the Criminal Department. When the investigation is clear, I will give her justice. I didn't expect that she misunderstood me as helping Zhou Hongyang, and she treated me A big fight.”
"I had good intentions in this matter, but she misunderstood me and I felt angry. Today I impulsively said something to draw a clear line with her."
That day, Jiang Rong beat him in full public view, and Taifu Shen unexpectedly went to check.
He confuses right and wrong and deliberately portrays himself as a victim.
"Since there is a misunderstanding, we should explain it clearly as soon as possible." Taifu Shen frowned.
He was not sure whether Shen Wenyuan was telling the truth.
But when it comes to one's own son, it is always easy for people to think of the good and think that he should not be a bad person.
"And you are very mean today. No matter what, you should not say bad words to Jiang Yatou. You need to know that a kind word warms you for three winters, but bad words hurt someone for six months. From now on, you must cultivate your oral ethics and be careful with your words and deeds. !" Taifu Shen said again.
Shen Wenyuan immediately kowtowed, "My son has realized his mistake. My son must find an opportunity to explain clearly to Jiang Rong and apologize to her. He must also pay attention to the propriety of his words in the future!"
"There is no greater good than knowing a mistake and passing it by. You go down and have a good rest." Taifu Shen nodded slightly. From the bottom of his heart, he was naturally willing to give his son a chance.
Look what he does next.
Shen Wenyuan's heart dropped to his stomach, and he resigned and left.
I just walked out of the door, feeling secretly resentful.
When he no longer needs this bad old man in the future, he will pay back today's shame a hundredfold!
Taifu Shen looked at Shen Wenyuan's back as he limped away, and said to Mrs. Tian, "Give him some ointment."
"Yes." Tian agreed, took the ointment and went to find Shen Wenyuan.
After a while.
Brother and sister Shen Boting walked in together.
"Dad, this is today's gift list." Shen Baiting presented a list and said:
"These gifts have been sorted into categories. We can return the gifts later and send them back in exchange."
The Shen family is poor.
The matter of reciprocity is to take gifts from the Zhang family of similar price and then give them to the Li family.
Go through the motions.
These gifts will not be sold and squandered.
"Yes." Taifu Shen nodded slightly.
Shen Baiting was a little confused, "Those aristocratic families who are just going through the motions are easy to deal with, but what should we do with Jiang Rong and the Jiang family's gift...?"
Taifu Shen's eyes fell on the gift list, and when he saw that Jiang Rong had given him a set of high-quality study treasures and a set of headdresses, he knew that she was a meeting gift specially given to Shen Boting's brother and sister, so he picked out things they could use. .
With such sincerity, it is naturally impossible to randomly choose a gift from others.
But the Shen family does...
Poor.
There's nothing I can offer in return.
"Li'er, for my father's sake, I remember you made some lychee jam and gave it to Jiang Yatou and the Jiang family." Taifu Shen said.
Shen Li said awkwardly, "But... those are worthless things..."
"But you made it with your own hands and it tastes delicious. It's all our sincerity. When dealings between friends, your thoughts should come first." Taifu Shen smiled and said, "I hope they like it."
Shen Li nodded in understanding, "Then...then I'll pick out some lychee jam in a beautiful bottle!"
……
Jiang Wenxing returned to Jiang's house humming a ditty.
What is the identity of Mr. Shen?
That was a powerful minister who could officiate for the prince, but now he came to officiate for him...
Tsk tsk.
Jiang Wenxing is about to become prosperous!
"Master, it's not good!" The attendant hurriedly came in and reported:
"I just received news that the second young master went to Jiangbei to check your test papers for the children's examination back then! It is said that he took two test papers from the secret library!"
Jiang Wenxing's expression changed, as if he had been struck by lightning.
At that time, he failed in the exam many times, so he found a substitute to take the exam.
This man was always talented and in a hurry for money. After being bribed by him, the two of them entered the examination room together...
Write each other's names on the exam paper.
In this way, he "hit" the scholar.
Later, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, he silenced the person forever.
There is only one risk.
That's the exam paper!
If an interested person obtains the examination paper signed by him, and then checks it with his handwriting, he will know that it was not written by the same person...
But he could silence the test papers, but he didn't have the guts to go to the government and destroy the test papers...
The death of an ordinary citizen did not cause much trouble, but the destruction of examination papers was a crime of dereliction of duty. In order to clear his name, the officer in charge must investigate to the end.
Jiang Wenxing was afraid of getting burned.
Anyway, the test paper is sealed together, so no one will bother to check it...
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wenmian found out about this matter from some source, and even borrowed his exam papers from the government...
He had known that this ignorant person was coveting his title, but he didn't expect that he would find an opportunity this time!
He must not be allowed to enter Beijing, and those two examination papers must be destroyed immediately!
"Go and assassinate Your Excellency Dan!" Jiang Wenxing's eyes were vicious.
……
On the valley trail.
Jiang Wenmian sat in the fast-moving carriage and kept urging, "Faster!"
The groom raised his whip high and galloped the horse.
Jiang Wenmian clutched the gauze sling on his shoulders, his heart filled with joy.
The handwriting on that examination paper clearly did not belong to Jiang Wenxing!
It's a pity that the person who took the exam is dead.
However, these two test papers are enough to prove that he cheated.
Jiang Wenmian had even written a petition and sent his eldest brother into exile just as he was waiting to enter Beijing!
Cheating in the imperial examination is a serious crime!
It is no longer possible for Jiang Wenxing to inherit the title!
This position of loyal uncle belongs to him.
At this moment, suddenly a sound broke through the air, and a shower of arrows fell from the mountain road.
The carriage was forced to stop.
One by one, black-clad and masked assassins rushed over from the mountain road.
Jiang Wenmian's guards fled in fright.
