The next morning, Li Yaocheng prepared two cars, took Shen Wen, Su Wanniang and a few maids and servants, and went out of the city to Zhuangzi. When they went out of the city gate, they saw shadow figures at the city gate, among which the new ones were to arrest the three of Zhang Yunming. Although the painting is not very similar, Zhang Yunzheng's thick eyebrows and the fourth prince's gentle appearance can still be vaguely seen.
In the car, Shen Wen and Su Wanniang looked through the window, looked at each other, and held back their laughter. Shen Wen said in a low voice, "I should get one for my brother-in-law as a souvenir."
Su Wanniang blushed: "Go! Go, what are you talking about?" But there was a kind of sweetness in her tone, obviously she had fully recognized Shen Wen's title.
When they arrived at Zhuangzi, Li Yaocheng went to greet Zhang Yunming and others, asked the cook who brought him to arrange meals, and asked the maids to decorate the houses for Shen Wen and Su Wanniang, etc. They worked until noon. Because it was in the countryside and it was already summer, at lunch time, Li Yaocheng asked someone to put the mat in the thatched pavilion outside the house.
The dry dry wind blows, with an earthy smell.
Li Yaocheng sighed and said, "This year, there are no harvests in many places."
Zhang Yunming said: "It's all drought like this, but some people say that next year will be a flood year."
Li Yaocheng nodded repeatedly and said, "It's very possible! The weather is like this. Once it loses balance, it will inevitably be followed by severe floods and droughts. When God's anger is released, the weather will be smooth again."
The fourth prince asked: "Do you also believe that God will be angry?"
Li Yaocheng said: "Why don't you believe it? How could there be such a saying as 'the sky is angry and the people are complaining'?"
The fourth prince sighed as he thought of what he had seen and heard along the way. Li Yaocheng hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this at the banquet. After dinner, I will take you to see Zhuangzi. I will build a mulberry garden, a silkworm farm, and a textile workshop in the future." With the approval of Mr. Yuanhou, if something happens in the future and someone goes to the capital to say "the land you have seen before will be robbed", Mr. Zhang will definitely come to help, and his hard work will not Like the Tao family's business, it fell into the hands of others.
After lunch, Li Yaocheng took Zhang Yunming, who was lacking in interest, Zhang Yunzheng, who was listless, and the fourth prince, who was very talkative and curious about everything, to see his planning site.
"After the land is leveled, mulberry trees will be planted..." "This is the silkworm house in the future..." "This is the workshop. I have asked people to buy more than 20 looms..."
Zhang Yunming grew up with the princes of the noble relatives in the capital, and his self-cultivation is first-class. Although he didn't want to know at all, he still nodded with a smile, which encouraged Li Yaocheng deeply, and he talked so much. Zhang Yunzheng followed behind, yawning after a while. Only the fourth prince gradually walked side by side with Li Yaocheng, Zhang Yunming wished that someone would parry Li Yaocheng's passionate narration for him, so he took half a step back slowly, letting the fourth prince to the front.
The fourth prince didn't find it boring at all. He had been locked up in the capital all his life and had never even attended the silkworm ceremony. At this moment, he had witnessed the silkworm weaving repeatedly mentioned in the book. He not only listened to Li Yaocheng's explanation, but also asked some questions from time to time.
"Is this artificial...?"
Li Yaocheng explained in detail: "Artificial labor is for refugees, and it is cheap, and it also gives refugees a place to stay. Just be careful of your character."
The fourth prince nodded: "If the imperial court encourages merchants to hire refugees, the famine can be alleviated."
Li Yaocheng sighed: "Since ancient times, farmers have been valued over merchants, and merchants have been regarded as lowly households. The imperial court may not have given such great trust to merchants. In fact, the harm of merchants is far less than the harm of official corruption."
The fourth prince was stunned and said, "How do you say that?"
Li Yaocheng said: "Businessmen who want to make profits must transfer supplies. And the money spent in the process gives a lot of life. For example, if I hire a boatman, he will have money and can buy clothing materials. The shopkeeper who sells clothing materials People who can use money to buy firewood and rice, and those who sell firewood and rice can buy seeds, and if they buy seeds, they can produce food...One person pays, and many people benefit. But officials are greedy for money, but they don’t do production. It can support many people. The terrible thing is that firstly, they save money and don’t spend it. Gold and silver are hidden in the ground, which is the money for the lives of many people. Second, they are worthless. If the seller cannot get enough silver taels, then the people behind him will also be short of money. You see, once the Tao family tea house collapsed, all the tea workers he hired in the past lost their jobs, and the people who sold them They all lost, only the prefect's son was richer. Third, money was used to buy officials and bribes, and the money only circulated back and forth in the hands of officials, and could not benefit the people... "
The fourth prince frowned: "Although the officials are corrupt and harm the people, Li Guanren also said just now that businessmen seek profit and ignore human feelings. Although Li Guanren is a kind person, there are many people who are greedy for money and are unkind."
Li Yaocheng nodded and said, "That's the matter of enlightenment. My grandfather warned me since I was a child that a businessman who only seeks profit will not be long in business."
The fourth prince asked: "Why?"
Li Yaocheng said: "If you only care about profit and don't talk about morality and kindness, you will definitely be hated by everyone, and you will be attacked sooner or later. Businessmen must not forget about mutual benefit, giving convenience to others and giving convenience to themselves. There are more people who rely on you than want to get rid of you." people will do."
The fourth prince pondered: "Mutual benefit?"
Li Yaocheng said: "It must! Everything in this world is the same. If you get the right way, you can get more help than if you don't. It's the same in the business world."
The fourth prince looked at Li Yaocheng with admiration. He was only five or six years older than himself, but he was about ten years more experienced and intelligent. How many people are really in Fuze Township."
Li Yaocheng waved his hands again and again and said: "Where is that? I'm just making a fuss. If it weren't for the glory of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion in the capital, I wouldn't dare to do this." He turned his head and said to Zhang Yunming who was walking behind: "I Everyone who has been rescued here has a contribution to the Pingyuanhou Mansion."
Zhang Yunming knew that his father, Marquis Pingyuan, wanted money when he married his wife in the early years. Not to mention that Mrs. Li came here with a sky-high dowry, the various businesses after marriage brought thousands of dollars to Marquis Pingyuan's mansion every day, and supported his father's subordinates. In the past, he always felt that his father made money and his mother was really a sensible person. But now I understand that what his father's status gave to Li Shi is completely worthy of his mother's huge amount of gold and silver. Because of the signboard of Marquis Pingyuan, not only the mother Li's business is guaranteed, but also the businesses of all relatives of the grandfather's family are protected. Just because he is a close relative of Pingyuan Hou's mansion, his cousin's business will not be robbed like Tao's tea house yesterday, and Tao's old official can't be held accountable even if he is dead...
Zhang Yunming said with a smile: "Official Li is really polite, I will tell Madam Pingyuan Hou about his good deeds when I have time."
Li Yaocheng was overjoyed, in these words he approved his business plan, he hurriedly said: "How dare you..." He was even more joyful, and took a few people to walk around again.
Zhang Yunming looked at Li Yaocheng happily introducing to the fourth prince the style of the loom he ordered, the area of the mulberry field, etc., and even took them to see the channels dug for flood discharge, etc., secretly frowning.
He knew that Li Yaocheng probably regarded the Fourth Prince as a member of the Marquis of Pingyuan, and he made no secret of it, but in fact, the Fourth Prince was definitely not from the Marquis of Pingyuan! He has to talk to Second Miss Shen about this issue!
After dinner, Li Yaocheng did not return to the city, and continued to live in the manor, discussing his silkworm base with the fourth prince, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng took a walk around the yard, and finally found Shen Wen who was out for a walk with Su Wanniang.
When the people on both sides saw the ceremony, Zhang Yunming asked in a low voice: "Don't you think it's dangerous for us to take Mr. Jiang all the way?"
Su Wanniang blushed and lowered her head.
Shen Wen said: "What danger can there be? He doesn't want to be emperor."
Zhang Yunming frowned: "Is it okay if you don't want to be the emperor?"
Shen Wen was by Su Wanniang's side, naturally he couldn't embarrass Su Wanniang, and said categorically: "As long as he is not the emperor, it doesn't matter! In the current situation, let alone he doesn't want to, even if he wants to be the emperor, it's impossible."
Zhang Yunzheng supported Shen Wen and said: "Exactly! Is it so easy to be the emperor? Do you think you can be the one? Are you kidding me? What kind of backing does he have?"
Zhang Yunming thought about it and could only agree. If you want to be an emperor, you need someone to support him. Generally speaking, the first is the relatives, that is, the mother's natal family or the wife's natal family, and then the courtiers. Empress Lu invited four famous hermits to assist her son. The fourth prince's niece, Jiang's family, is a merchant with no appeal, and there is no one who supports him among the courtiers. People outside the court know that he is just a disabled person guarding the tomb, so naturally they will not choose to follow him. And now that the third prince has grown up and has civil and military backers, the fourth prince doesn't look like someone who wants to stab the third prince in the back, maybe he has the idea of becoming an emperor in his heart.
Zhang Yunming didn't want to be defeated just like that, and said: "Aren't you afraid that he will seek refuge with the prince?"
Su Wanniang raised her head and said, "He definitely won't!"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "Well, I also know he won't. I'm just worried that there is the royal family, his father and brother, and he will reveal our behavior."
Shen Wen said: "It is a double-edged sword for him to come out with us. We are afraid that he will reveal our situation, and he will also be afraid that we will reveal his behavior. He will not expose us." To actually leave the imperial mausoleum and run away, this is a great disobedience, it is really similar to breaking faith. Saying it out, the fourth prince will not be able to lift his head up in this life.
Zhang Yunming felt more at ease, seeing the fourth prince was no longer so insensitive, and his attitude was a little more amiable.
After a few days, Zhang Yunming's people arrived one after another. There were more than 20 people and horses.
Zhang Yunming asked Li Yaocheng to find a carriage and prepare food for the return journey.
Li Yaocheng felt that getting along with him these days had established a solid relationship with Pingyuan Hou Mansion in the future. To express his gratitude, he prepared a large amount of high-quality dry food and jerky for them, and loaded a carriage with them.
Before boarding the ship, Shen Wen handed over Ji Wenzhao's letters to Ji Yanshi and Yan Jing to Shi Helin, so as not to get wet at sea. Now that he doesn't go to Yan's Academy, he has nothing to worry about. Only Su Wanniang wrote a letter and asked Zhang Yunming to bring it to Shi Helin. In the letter, she warned Su Chuanya and Shi Helin to return to Beijing, not to be disobedient! There is no apology at all, full of elder sister's one-sidedness and unreasonableness.
A group of people came out of Li Yaocheng's Zhuangzi and walked on the main road. Li Yaocheng said goodbye to them one by one. While we were talking, the fourth prince saw a woman in tattered clothes sitting on the ground in a trance among the refugees by the roadside. The fourth prince felt that she looked familiar, so he took a closer look and recognized her.
Everyone was about to leave, the fourth prince hesitated for a long time, and finally pointed to the woman and said: "I want to say a few words to her."
Zhang Yunming turned his head and asked, "Do you know her?"
The fourth prince shook his head: "I just want to ask her."
Zhang Yunzheng looked carefully, and suddenly said: "Oh! She is the woman who rushed out of the yard with the child in her arms that day!"
Li Yaocheng was puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "What child? What woman?"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "The child in her arms is dead. It looks like he was beaten to death. What did the servant say that his master is the prefect..."
Li Yaocheng suddenly said: "Oh, everyone knows about this!"
In fact, this is a story that couldn't be more ordinary. The two families are officials and officials, and they got married. But after they got married, the wife's father was dismissed from office and demoted, while the father-in-law of the husband's family was promoted all the way. The husband then married a new wife who was well-matched. The first wife passed away not long after, leaving behind a young child. The bride also gave birth to a boy.
Zhang Yunzheng said angrily: "I said I should set the fire!"
Zhang Yunming pulled him: "Don't meddle in your own business!" He looked at the fourth prince: "What do you want to do?"
The fourth prince flinched a little, and hesitated: "I want to write a certificate for her."
Zhang Yunming rolled his eyes, "You just want peace of mind?"
Li Yaocheng said: "It's better not to write it, I will give her silver taels, let her go to other places to seek relatives, and she can live."
The Fourth Prince frowned in a rare way, and said, "Let her come and ask her."
Li Yaocheng asked someone to bring the woman here, and the woman said to herself: "The child is dead, ma'am, the child is dead... I swear, if I don't take good care of the young master, I will be reborn as a pig or dog in my next life. I am no longer human. I'm no longer human..." There were no tears in her eyes, only a trace of clarity that did not dare to die, lest she would become a pig dog immediately.
Li Yaocheng said: "Stop nagging, I'll give you money and you go and join your relatives."
The woman regained her senses, looked at Li Yaocheng and said, "I don't know where my home is, Madam's home is my home..."
The fourth prince said: "Would you like me to write a complaint for you? You wait three years and go to the capital to file a complaint for your wife and her children."
The woman seemed to wake up after hearing this, and opened her eyes wide and asked, "Going to the capital?!"
The fourth prince nodded and said: "Go to the capital, go to Dali Temple to sue the son of the prefect, exterminate his wife and son."
The woman made a big gift to the fourth prince: "If my benefactor helps me, I will definitely sue with all my might."
The fourth prince said to Li Yaocheng: "I want pen and ink and a piece of white silk."
Li Yaocheng was a businessman, and he always had a pen and ink with him, but it was hard to find white silk in a hurry. Seeing that this gentle young man dared to write a petition, he felt that the other party must be a man with all-powerful hands, so he had to fawn on him. In a hurry, he unbuttoned his coat, tore off a piece of his inner skirt, and gave it to the fourth prince.
The fourth prince said to the woman, "Let's talk about it."
The woman regained her composure and began to say: "Nuliang family, she was sold into Yuezhou since she was a child..." As she spoke, the fourth prince composed words and sentences, and finally wrote a lawsuit. He read the certificate once, and the woman nodded.
The fourth prince pointed to a corner of the certificate and said: "You make a fingerprint." The woman raised her hand and bit her index finger, and pressed it, the fourth prince gasped.
Under the witness, the fourth prince looked at Li Yaocheng, and Li Yaocheng shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, I can give you money, but I can't testify." He turned around and found a servant, and said, "Be a witness, it's the son of the prefect, Ping The wife abused the son born to the original spouse to death."
The servant said: "That thing! I know it, but who dares to testify! Isn't it courting death?"
Li Yaocheng pushed him: "Just write your name, if something really happened, I will guarantee you to come out with money."
The servant reluctantly gave the name, and the fourth prince used the name "Jiang Luren" again. He folded the certificate and handed it to Mr. Liang. Li Yaocheng took out several bank notes and asked someone to bring a bag of grain to Mr. Liang.
Mrs. Liang took it, and bowed deeply to the fourth prince and Li Yaocheng. Li Yaocheng said, "This young master is kind enough to help you write the petition. But if you can find a way to make a living, or you can go to Lingnan to join your old Lord, it’s fine if you don’t tell me!” The woman shook her head: “No, I can’t tell Madam.” She turned and walked away, muttering: “Madam, the child is gone…”
Everyone watched her walk away, the fourth prince suddenly felt unsure, and whispered to Li Yaocheng: "Should I not write a complaint to her?"
Li Yaocheng sighed: "What's the use of suing? People don't fight with officials. How can she sue the prefect's son as a servant? To sue is to die! But in case, in case there is really something after death, she There should also be an explanation for the dead." It was like saying nothing.
This time, even Zhang Yunzheng, who was always willing to stand out, didn't speak. The fourth prince was depressed. He didn't expect that he made a mistake in writing the petition. Zhang Yunming urged: "Let's go!"
Li Yaocheng bid farewell again, the fourth prince got into the carriage, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng got on the horse, and the group started.
The fourth prince also wanted to ride a horse, but Zhang Yunming was determined not to let him, so he could only stare out the window, chatting away his boredom.
The field outside the window was dry, and the dust brought up by the horses in front floated into the window. The summer sun soon made the carriage extremely hot, and the fourth prince began to sweat. But even so, the fourth prince still hoped that the return journey would be slower, so that he could return to the imperial mausoleum later.
----------------------
Rose, who guarded the imperial mausoleum for the fourth prince, had to suffer some mental pressure, but lived a comfortable life.
Every morning as soon as he opened his eyes, Ding Nei waiter filled his face with water, and sometimes handed him a towel to wipe his face on the bed to wake up.
Rose said with emotion: "Little Dingzi, you are really a person who knows what's cold and what's hot! When I become a woman in my next life, I will definitely marry you."
Knowing that Rose used good words as money to buy her own services, Ding Nei waiter didn't say anything, but took Rose's used towel, waited for Rose to get up, and handed him a teacup. How yearning it will be. Xiao Dingzi, tell your master, follow our young master in the future, the two of us are together, so you can take care of me."
Waiter Ding still had a stern face, and gave the wicker for brushing teeth to Rose, who sighed for the hundredth time: "Little Dingzi, I will always miss you, you are so kind, what can I do? I No one can compare with you in marrying anyone in the future! I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life."
Waiter Ding silently helped Rose to wash up, and Rose came to the small courtyard, boxing in a messy manner, and then had breakfast with Waiter Ding, and naturally said a lot of words, some of them were directed at Waiter Ding Thanks and jokes, some are his own experiences and insights. There is no way, the two of them are bored here, he also grew up with Zhang Yunzheng, and knows that people who are surrounded like to listen to outside things. Waiter Ding was so kind to him, if he didn't talk and amuse him, wouldn't he be suffocated to death
The two of them live day by day, if they don't have to worry about whether someone from the palace will come to see the Fourth Prince, their days would be happy. Sometimes Ding Neishi even realized with some guilt that he didn't expect the fourth prince to come back soon.
--------------------
Ping Yuanhou finally waited for the message from Fei Ge, although it was only one line, he was relieved: as long as Zhang Yunming finds Zhang Yunzheng, everything will be easy to handle. He went to see Mrs. Li right away. Mrs. Li has been lying on the bed every day these days, not caring about any accounting business. If something happens to her son, what's the use of asking for so much money
Zhang Yunjin didn't know what happened, so he could only stay by the bed. Shi Li cried once or twice, but he couldn't say anything to Zhang Yunjin. Seeing his mother like this, Zhang Yunjin felt that half of the sky had fallen, and when Mrs. Li cried, she cried too. Li Shi was in a daze, and she followed suit.
Ping Yuanhou quickly entered the bedroom door, and said, "It's all right!"
Li Shi sat up at once: "Really?"
Ping Yuanhou nodded and said: "It's really all right, Da Lang found him."
Li Shi cried again, Zhang Yunjin hurriedly sat over and hugged Li Shi's arm, and asked repeatedly: "Mother, what's going on? Who did elder brother go to?" I opened my mouth.
Mrs. Li cried: "That evil! That rebellious son! He won't let me live!"
Zhang Yunjin was puzzled: "Is it the eldest brother?"
Mrs. Li nodded: "Not a single good thing! It broke my heart!..."
Marquis Pingyuan felt that some things were really hard to reason with women, so he could only say: "Isn't everything all right? Don't worry about it."
Zhang Yunjin wondered: "Who did the eldest brother go to? Is it that cousin?"
Li shi covered her face and cried: "He hates me! Taking this opportunity to revenge, torturing me like this!..."
Ping Yuanhou said: "How could it be? Don't think about it, how could that kid have such a heart? He is so stupid..."
Mrs. Li raised her head and said, "Let Da Lang watch over him every step of the way! Don't allow him to wander off alone! Take him to the south, right away!"
Ping Yuanhou kept nodding his head: "Okay, let me tell you, you don't want to see them?"
Mrs. Li shook her head vigorously: "I don't want to! They can't get close to the capital! The people in my village said that we went to see Dalang, and after two days, the people from the imperial court arrived! They can't come near here, you hurry up Arrange for them to go directly to the south..."
Ping Yuanhou could only obey the nervous Li Shi: "Okay, okay, I'll let them tell them."
Mrs. Li relaxed and leaned against the head of the bed, humming: "Did I commit crimes in my previous life, and I have to suffer this kind of crime..."
Zhang Yunjin said: "That kid is not a good guy, mother, just ignore him!"
Ping Yuanhou coughed, "Don't take it too seriously, his life is tough."
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Li said, "Help me take a look and find someone. As soon as he turns twenty-two, let's get him married! It's only been two years, right? Talk about marriage first, get engaged, no matter what. Two years, let's start..."
In order to calm Li's mood, Marquis Pingyuan could only say: "Okay, take a good rest, don't worry anymore."
Zhang Yunjin said dissatisfiedly: "Mother still wants to find a marriage for him? Don't worry about it, why doesn't his own mother ask for it?"
Mrs. Li smiled wryly: "I'll just... treat him as my son, that child is very pitiful..."
Zhang Yunjin said: "What's so pitiful? He looks like that, brother should beat him up!"
Ping Yuanhou shook his head: "Your elder brother can't beat him."
Zhang Yunjin has always been extremely respectful to his elder brother, so he opened his eyes wide and said, "Then why do you still protect him? Elder brother can't hold him down, isn't he a scourge? Drive him out!"
Thinking of her own son being said so by her own sister, Li cried, "I really did a crime!"
Marquis Pingyuan frowned: "Here, Jin'er, we must be kind and friendly to others. Although he has a bad temper, he is still very kind. We are the only family members of his family. We must treat him well. Understand?"
Zhang Yunjin completely believed that Zhang Yunzheng was his father's illegitimate son. She looked at Li Shi, and Li Shi repeatedly nodded to Zhang Yunjin with tears in his eyes: "Really, his family is only us, you have to be considerate of him."
Zhang Yunjin was also in tears: "Mom! Why are you so miserable!" The two cried loudly at each other.
Pingyuan Hou Yangtian sighed: What's going on? It's obviously good news, but why are they crying all the time? I really couldn't understand it, so I had to say to Zhang Yunjin: "Please comfort your mother well, I will go to work." Leave for a while.
----------------------
In Zhenbeihou's mansion, Mrs. Yang was also feeling emotional, and said to Shen Xiang: "I really want to see your sister, but the old lady just stopped me, saying that the mansion cannot be separated from me watching, your sister-in-law Now I'm in charge, I don't have anything to do at all, it's time to go out for a walk."
Shen Xiang was told that Yan Shi took Shen Wen out last time, so he didn't dare to visit often, so as not to attract attention, what if Yan Shi took Shen Wen out again? So he persuaded: "Mom, that place is a few days away from here. I went to see it. The temple is very quiet and very comfortable. I want to live there for a while..."
Mrs. Yang hurriedly said, "Don't, you're not sick or in trouble, why do you live in a temple? By the way, how many families come to ask for marriage..."
Shen Xiang immediately turned his face: "I have to go to the martial arts field!" He waved his hands and left.
Yang was so angry that she covered her chest: "You...you're so mad at me! Go, call Da Furen!"
Someone rushed to call Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu rushed over and saluted Mrs. Yang, "Mother called me?"
Yang clapped her hands on her thighs: "I'm really going to die of anger!"
Knowing that her mother-in-law was complaining, she could chatter for a long time, so she hurriedly said, "What's on my mother's mind? I'll go and help with it?" She said it's better to tell herself the truth, and don't call herself here just to listen.
Yang sighed: "Seeing that Xiang'er is going to be seventeen! If you don't find someone else, it will cause gossip!"
After all, the Liu family was born in a family of civil servants, and his understanding of the government is far better than the Yang family. Who doesn't know that the third prince wants to marry the eldest daughter of Marquis Zhenbei? The emperor was stuck there, and the third prince didn't give up, both sides froze. Mrs. Yang obviously didn't know about these joints, and Mrs. Liu didn't want to say anything - there are too many people in this mansion who can't say anything casually.
Mrs. Liu could only say: "Why don't I go and persuade the eldest lady to see what she is thinking?" Let me go.
Yang thought it was right: "Tell him well, you were only fifteen years old when you got married, and you were younger than her when you got married. How could she be so ignorant? Many families came to propose marriage, and some of the children were really good. …”
Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "I'm going to see the eldest lady right now and talk to her." Seeing Mrs. Yang nodding, she hurriedly backed out.
Naturally, Mrs. Liu still went to be a council member. In the afternoon, after Shen Xiang finished his martial arts training, he went to Shen Xiang's yard.
Shen Xiang came out of the shower and saw Liu Shi, and asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Mother asked me to ask you, what is your opinion on the important event of life?"
Shen Xiang's face sank all of a sudden, and he said coldly: "Don't worry about it, sister-in-law, you go and tell mother, I don't want to marry!"
Although she threw her face at Liu Shi, Liu Shi was not angry, and motioned her people to go out and look at the door, and said in a low voice: "Are you afraid that if you discuss marriage with others at this time, it means that the third prince will lose his dignity?" Beihou's support? It means that the third son continues to be with him, without the relationship of in-laws, there is no relationship."
Shen Xiang was startled all of a sudden, looking at his always gentle sister-in-law, tears welled up in his eyes, Mrs. Liu hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shen Xiang, and said in a low voice: "My grandfather is also a high-ranking official. I tell a story."
Shen Xiang took the handkerchief and covered his face and cried, choked up and said, "Sister-in-law! I don't know what to do!"
This time, Liu Shi was puzzled: "What should I do? Just wait and marry him in the future."
Shen Xiang cried and said, "But I don't want to marry him!"
Liu Shi was surprised: "Why don't you want to?"
Shen Wen cried and shook his head: "I don't think about it!"
After thinking about it, Mrs. Liu understood: If the third prince becomes the emperor, Shen Xiang's temperament is really not suitable for being the queen of the deep palace. She doesn't want to stay in the palace for the rest of her life, so Shen Xiang doesn't want to marry when the third prince ascends the throne. But if the third prince does not become the emperor, judging from the current situation where he is facing off against the two camps of the prince, if the prince wins, he will have no way out. The Marquis of Zhenbei is in charge of a heavy army, if Shen Xiang doesn't marry the third prince, nothing will happen to him. But if she married, not only Shen Xiang would not be able to protect himself, maybe the prince who became the emperor at that time would use this excuse to look good to the Zhenbei Houfu. For the sake of the family's safety, Shen Xiang shouldn't marry either... Then the waiting now is doomed to be in vain.
Liu Shi frowned and sighed, "Then what do you want now?"
Shen Xiang felt better after crying, wiped his face and said, "Anyway, I just don't want to marry. When he marries someone else, I'll talk about marriage."
Mrs. Liu nodded in thought, and said: "That's the only way to go." At this time, the third prince can't be cut from the bottom of the pot. If the third prince wins in the future, don't you hate Zhenbeihou's mansion
She got up to leave, Shen Xiang asked with swollen eyes: "How will sister-in-law tell mother?"
Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Just say that the young miss is crying and fussing, and she doesn't want to discuss marriage even if she dies. She said that if she is forced, she will hang herself and wipe her neck."
Shen Xiang laughed all of a sudden: "Sister-in-law is really bad, she blames everything on me."
Mrs. Liu sighed: "Daughter and mother are close, you can't make trouble too much, I'm just a daughter-in-law, I can only do things, I can't act coquettishly, I can't do things well, but I have to pay for it."
Shen Xiang took a deep breath: "Sister-in-law, to be honest, maybe I shouldn't marry. If you make me so humble, I will suffocate to death."
Liu said with a gentle smile: "The third prince's mother has passed away. You used to be the one who made the decisions. Maybe he is the one you can marry..."
Shen Xiang covered his ears: "If you don't listen, you won't listen! Sister-in-law, hurry up and tell your mother that I will go on a hunger strike!"
Mrs. Liu smiled and left, but when she arrived at Mrs. Yang's place, she put on a sad look. When she entered the door, seeing the old lady was there, she put down half of her heart, took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears that didn't exist at the corners of her eyes. Salute to Yang.
Just now, Mrs. Yang was about to complain to the old lady about this matter, when she saw Mrs. Liu coming, she just started and asked, "Have you asked Miss what she means?"
Mrs. Liu nodded and said: "I asked and persuaded, but the eldest lady got anxious and started crying, saying that she wanted to die..." She said all the threats.
Yang lamented: "Where is this daughter? This is a debt collector! She is so old that she doesn't talk about relatives, how many people have to point her spine. People will say that there is something wrong with her, and the daughter of the Shen family is weird. This makes Wen There will be problems in the future... "
The old lady frowned and counted the beads vigorously, and when Mrs. Yang came to an end, she said firmly: "Xiang'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she is a hero among women. Her marriage must be discussed with her consent, and she must not be behind her back." She proposes marriage! You listen to me, stop making trouble!" The crown prince is going to attack the Zhenbeihou's mansion. The Zhenbeihou's mansion and the third prince depend on each other for life and death, and Shen Xiang has to wait for ten years! How can we talk about marriage? Yang is so confused!
Mrs. Yang couldn't fight against the old lady, so she could only hold back her anger, and stopped talking about Shen Xiang's marriage, letting Shen Xiang waste time.
