At the same moment when Huo Luo left the city, a man dressed as a scholar entered Pingyuanhou's mansion, said his first and last name, and wanted to see Pingyuanhou.
Marquis Pingyuan met this person in the study, and this person bowed to Marquis Pingyuan: "I have seen the general."
Marquis Pingyuan smiled: "Where is it a general? Just an idler."
The man dressed as a scribe said: "The power of the general will never be forgotten by the last general."
Marquis Pingyuan waved his hand and said: "Ziyuan is still so polite, my Dalang learned the whole thing from you! Sit down!"
The scribe smiled, lifted his gown and sat down, and asked, "I haven't seen Dalang for several years, but is he still studying?"
Marquis Pingyuan sighed: "I have been complacent for a long time after passing the exam as a scholar, but if I didn't get a Jinshi, I have the cheek to say that he slept in it for a whole day, so naturally I couldn't pass the exam."
The scribe laughed: "The general doesn't need to be harsh."
Marquis Ping Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "I asked you to come to help Da Lang and the others, do you mind?"
The scribe immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Why did the general say that? The general obeys the general, not to mention that Da Lang is a very intelligent person, the general must..."
Ping Yuanhou waved again: "How many times have I told you, don't always show your loyalty and say good things!"
The scribe smiled: "Didn't my father force me to practice this since I was a child? I'm used to it."
Ping Yuanhou sighed again: "Your father is also stubborn! Do you want to go back now?"
The scribe shook his head and said, "I have followed the general since I was eleven years old. I have a young family, and I feel at ease following the general, and I am not used to it when I go back."
Marquis Pingyuan nodded, and said: "He helps them to do things, you know Dalang, but he has a younger brother... a cousin, that kid has a bad temper but a good heart, don't worry about him usually, Give him some pointers."
The scholar hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, the general, the last general will not fight back if he is beaten or scolded."
Ping Yuanhou laughed aloud: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you fight and scold him, just don't hold him in your heart."
The scribe saluted sincerely and said: "The general's kindness to Ziyuan is as heavy as a mountain..."
Marquis Pingyuan waved his hand: "Okay, okay! You haven't seen me for a long time, and you're unfamiliar with me again, let them set up a meal, and I'll get you drunk, so stop talking nonsense!"
The scribe saluted again with some embarrassment: "Thank you, General, for your generosity."
Ping Yuanhou sighed helplessly.
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng had a big meal with Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo, and went back to the house happily. As soon as they entered the door, someone told them to go to Master Hou's study.
Thinking that Master Hou was coming to question them again, the two of them went to the study with a sigh of relief. Before they entered, they heard laughter inside.
The two brothers went in and saw Ping Yuanhou and a man dressed as a scribe guarding a messy table, and looked at them with a smile.
Zhang Yunming hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen Master Song!"
Zhang Yunzheng followed suit, and Marquis Pingyuan said to Zhang Yunzheng, "This is your brother's enlightened teacher, Song Yao, Song Ziyuan, you can call him Song Master as your brother does."
There was a buzzing in Zhang Yunzheng's head, his mouth half opened, and his eyes stared blankly at Song Yao—the list he had memorized in Tianyan suddenly appeared at this moment, and he blinked and recited: "Song Yao? East of the city, Liuyuan. Li Gui, east of the city, Lijia Doufang. Guan Fu, west of the city, Luojia Lane, the third last gate at the end. Zhang Xin, south of the city, the man of Hongxiulou... "
Pingyuanhou and Song Yao looked at each other, and Pingyuanhou looked at Zhang Yunzheng sternly: "How do you know where these people live?!" These are all pawns carefully arranged by him, and they will never be used unless necessary. All these years have not been contacted, so as not to be found out. Now he wanted to protect his precious son, so he called someone over. Why did Zhang Yunzheng destroy his hiding place in one go? He didn't use other people, and no one could know.
Zhang Yunzheng stammered: "Yes... yes..."
Zhang Yunming interrupted: "That person said it!"
Zhang Yunzheng was silent.
Marquis Pingyuan twirled the jade ball, stared at Zhang Yunzheng closely, and after a while, said lightly, "Have you also learned to lie?"
Zhang Yunzheng was immediately annoyed: "I don't lie!" He saw that Zhang Yunming lied a lot since he was a child, and if he was different from Zhang Yunming, he would not lie.
Marquis Ping Yuan squinted his eyes and asked: "Then how do you know about these people? Don't say it was that person who told you! I am the only one who knows the addresses of these people in the world. If I really lead the army to march north as your brother said, These people have gone with me, and even those who can foretell the prophets will not know where these people live!"
In fact, Zhang Yunzheng longed for his family's recognition in his heart, so he said, "That person opened my eyes for a moment. None of the people I mentioned went to the battlefield with my father. A list was made, and it was these names."
Marquis Pingyuan looked at Zhang Yunzheng incredulously, his heart was shocked. He had far-reaching thoughts, and he had long seen that the emperor was worried about him, so he let go of the military power, but he left behind the strength to save his life. Although he was moved by Zhang Yunming's words in a mysterious person's language, there was still a layer of dubious rationality left. He didn't rule out the possibility that a conspirator who wanted to help Zhenbeihou defeat the prince made up such a story to drag him into the water. He didn't want to get too involved, so he had to observe carefully first. But Zhang Yunzheng named these people, and many of them were the ones he had repeatedly considered to introduce to his sons that night. They must be capable and loyal, and they must not bully his young son. Just burn the list, it can be said that God knows everything, and no one will know except himself. As for not taking them to the battlefield in the future, I don't know. But now Zhang Yunzheng just opened his mouth and said it, it's really weird!
Seeing Marquis Pingyuan staring at Zhang Yunzheng in deep thought, Song Yao said in a low voice, "General, there is indeed a theory of the eye of heaven. I heard that it is the third eye, which is between the two eyebrows. If opened, it can see the past and the future. What happened after the past life. People also say that you must be sincere and pure to have this adventure, and they trust others, so they can be led."
Marquis Pingyuan asked Zhang Yunzheng, "What happened after you got this list?"
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Zhang Yunming, Zhang Yunming shrugged helplessly, and said, "Tell me, there's nothing he can do if he doesn't believe it."
Marquis Pingyuan frowned and said, "What can I do if I don't believe it?! Just because of this, you won't tell me?! I am your father, whether I believe it or not, you have to tell me! Come on, you see What's up?!"
Zhang Yunzheng reluctantly said: "That's what my brother said, Beirong is here, you and my brother went to the battlefield. Our house was raided, I couldn't bear to see my mother die, so I woke up."
Song Yao was called by Marquis Pingyuan, and he only said that he was helping Mr. Zhang with his work, and he didn't know the background at all. Now that he heard this, he felt the seriousness of the matter, took a breath, and asked anxiously: "General! What was copied and killed? !How is this going?!"
Ping Yuanhou asked him back: "Do you believe it?"
Song Yao thought nervously for a moment, and said firmly: "If this young master really saw the list from the eyes of the sky just now, I believe it. Those brothers are key figures buried by the general. Although I know a few of them , but they don’t even know where they live. General, this is God Bless General, let this young master open his eyes to see the secret, general, how many people’s lives are at stake in this matter, don’t take it lightly!”
Marquis Pingyuan frowned, and suddenly asked Zhang Yunzheng: "What happened after that person said you escaped?"
Zhang Yunzheng thought it was his own failure, and said sullenly: "She said that I escaped from the prison camp that night and found my father's old department to assassinate the crown prince, and then I fought with the crown prince, who was the future emperor, for more than twenty years. In the end, he was caught, tortured and cut to death..."
Although Marquis Ping Yuan kept telling himself not to believe the words of that mysterious person, he still couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart when he heard these words: He has always felt guilty towards Zhang Yunzheng and tolerated him in every possible way. Deep love for this child? Zhang Yunzheng was the most handsome, combining his and Li's appearance advantages, when he looked at him, he always had a kind of accommodating heart that was different from the strict requirements of the eldest son. If his son really ended in misery, Ping Yuanhou knew that he would have no scruples and deal with the other party to the end.
Although Song Yao didn't know who the so-called "that person" was, he became even more nervous when he heard such words, and said in a low voice, "General, contact the various ministries in the south now!"
Zhang Yunming hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, don't be busy."
The jade ball in Marquis Pingyuan's hand rang again. After a long time, he said slowly: "After all, I am a military general of this dynasty. I have been paid by the court for many years. I should serve the country and defend against foreign enemies. No matter what, I must not disturb the world first. At this point, he suddenly understood the worries of the children of the Shen family who were afraid of being killed by their father: when he really wanted to act, he realized that the moral principles in his heart were so strong that he couldn't start plotting to overthrow the society just because of one person's alarmist talk.
Just as Zhang Yunzheng was about to speak, Zhang Yunming pulled him. Sure enough, after a while, Ping Yuanhou said again: "But if someone bullies me too much and wants to harm my little one, I will definitely not allow him to be punished."
Zhang Yunming saw a very suitable time, and whispered: "Father, you don't have to think about how to plot against the emperor and the prince, just look at that person's plan. The person said that she will insist on punishment for crimes, and prevent others from attacking later. There is no name to come from meeting." This way father will not be accused of being a minister with dissenting ideas. In this era, loyalty is valued. If things have not happened, you will betray the emperor because of other people's few words. No matter what you say, you will not be able to cover up your infidelity.
Marquis Pingyuan nodded slowly, and asked again: "The man said he didn't say what happened to the prince?"
Zhang Yunming nodded: "She said that after our two mansions were destroyed, the imperial court moved to the south, and later the prince ascended the throne, licentious and immoral. Within a month after his death, the country changed hands to Beirong..."
Marquis Pingyuan narrowed his eyes: "If this is the case, the villain is really a king of subjugation."
Song Yao said in a low voice: "If you say that, this matter will not be settled."
Marquis Ping Yuan asked, "Why?"
Song Yao said with a mysterious expression: "People always say that the secrets of heaven should not be leaked, because once they are leaked, that kind of future will not come true. Therefore, those who prophesy often use verses, and people must wait for things to pass before people can understand the meaning. Guy Because if it is made clear, people will change their fate intentionally or unintentionally. Once they take action, the future will change. If this person is really a prophet, but he has made it clear, so that people from all walks of life will be on guard , then the future will definitely not be the ending known to that person.”
Marquis Pingyuan nodded approvingly, and Song Yao said again: "Besides, this person must be extremely cautious in his actions and keep quiet. Since he knows the opportunity first, he wants things to happen as predicted. Until the last moment, he will have An earth-shattering move, changing the final result in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if he moves ahead of time, the opponent notices and changes his actions, he will miss."
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng exchanged glances, both felt that Song Yao should be Shen Wen's confidant.
Ping Yuanhou said: "Indeed, if I were to choose, I would choose the road with known dangers, not the road with unknown dangers." After thinking for a moment, he said to Zhang Yunming: "In this case, we will choose Be extra careful not to leave traces in the open. Ziyuan will follow the two of you from tomorrow on, and settle the matter of the grass bandits. There are only a few roads to Beirong. He asked the water bandits in Lianghu, I I think, in the end, that person will definitely choose the main road around Nengliang Lake. The 300,000-jin grain prince may not be transported at one time, but may be separated two or three times. Once he transports it, we will rob it once! What you need to prepare are boats on the water. If a boat can carry a thousand catties, then twenty or thirty boats should be enough."
Song Yao said: "There are many southerners among our people, who are familiar with water, and can control even more boats."
Marquis Pingyuan continued: "I will call Zhang Xin tomorrow and go to the south to gather the old troops. It is far away over there, and some movements will not be easily noticed. Find a place in the mountains and start gathering people there. The man The prophecy said that I only recruited about 20,000 volunteer soldiers when Beirong came, which is really not enough, there must be at least 20,000 soldiers in the mountains, if it is really like what he said, we will go to the battlefield, we can quickly transfer people here."
Song Yao nodded again and again: "That's good, if the south is not prepared, I will not feel at ease."
Marquis Pingyuan said to the two brothers: "You are often in contact with that person, and if you have any new developments, you should explain to Ziyuan immediately. It is best to let Ziyuan meet that person."
Zhang Yunzheng was in a dilemma: "This..."
Zhang Yunming said seriously: "That person is very... careful, he doesn't like to meet people. When it came time to spend money, he only came to us, otherwise he would keep us in the dark."
Marquis Pingyuan was angry: "This snobby eye!" He turned his head and said to Song Yao: "If you need money, just tell us! We have to do a good job, and see how he dares to underestimate us!"
Both Zhang Yunzheng and Zhang Yunming didn't dare to laugh with stern faces: If one day my father knew that the person behind the scenes was Shen Wen, how disillusioned he would be.
Song Yao saluted Pingyuanhou again: "General, don't worry, I will do my best." He looked at Zhang Yunzheng, smiled and said, "So, this is 'Miss Zhang'."
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes immediately.
Marquis Pingyuan sighed, and asked Song Yao: "Do you still remember the priest we saved that year?"
Song Yao said: "He and the people were tied up in front of the formation by thieves to block the arrows. The general did not let the soldiers shoot arrows and leaped into the formation by himself. Those people did not die."
Ping Yuanhou nodded: "He came to me later and said that my second son would be raised as a daughter until he was twenty-two years old. I didn't even have a marriage at that time. Who knows where the child is? After we got married, I will discuss this matter with Madam said, she insisted on doing what the Taoist said."
Song Yao nodded with emotion: "That's right! If he can be raised as a daughter, if something happens in the future, even if they kill him according to his household registration, he can escape in a woman's disguise!"
Zhang Yunzheng said angrily: "I don't want to be raised by a girl, and I don't want to escape!"
Pingyuanhou scolded: "I didn't really raise you as a daughter, so why don't I lock you up in the garden and not let you come out to meet people? I also found a master to teach you martial arts..."
Zhang Yunzheng shouted, "I don't want to be imprisoned!"
Marquis Pingyuan was obviously short of breath: "Won't you be able to leave the house at night after you are ten years old? We will allow you to watch the lights..."
Zhang Yunzheng continued to complain: "Only once a year! My brother can talk and laugh with his friends..."
Song Yao hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, isn't it okay now? You can come out under the name of a cousin, and you can make friends." Where are there friends? Zhang Yunzheng immediately thought of Shen Wen, that annoying ghost was not a friend, at most he was a quarrelsome person.
Marquis Pingyuan waved to the two brothers and said, "You have to listen to Mr. Song in the future, don't toss behind our backs!"
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng agreed, and they both bowed and said goodbye. Marquis Pingyuan asked them to pay respects to Mrs. Li. After seeing them go out, he said to Song Yao: "Our people have been slack for so many years, it's time to start reorganizing the team."
Song Yao also nodded: "Yes, it's been twenty years, and many soldiers have passed their prime of life, and now it's time to recruit their offspring. It's an opportunity to start training with this reckless army."
Although it was said that Zhang Yunming was to do it, Ping Yuanhou and Song Yaolai had to decide on the candidates. The two began to talk about who would buy or build ships, who would go to the mountainous areas where Tibetan soldiers would go, who would buy horses, and so on.
Zhang Yunzheng and Zhang Yunming walked out of the study, both relieved.
Zhang Yunzheng said in a low voice: "I was afraid that Dad wanted to take charge of the overall situation." Seeing this, Marquis Pingyuan will obey Shen Wen's arrangement.
Zhang Yunming also replied in a low voice: "I originally thought that once I believed it, I would do my best to overthrow the prince. But in fact, no matter what we say, those things never happened. I probably think that listening to the wind is like rain, and it is very important to really murder the other party." What the husband did."
Zhang Yunzheng now understood why Shen Wen prevented him from acting first, and felt how naive he was at that time, completely immature and unresponsive. After he was a little ashamed, he decided to continue bullying Shen Wen when he saw Shen Wen in the future, so as to save face for himself.
Zhang Yunming once again said with emotion: "There are not many people in this world who are as ruthless as Little Fat Duck who plots against others and sets them up for others."
Zhang Yunzheng knew that it was because those tragedies really happened to Shen Wen, and it was not a believable or unbelievable prophecy, so he couldn't help defending Shen Wen: "What do you mean by scheming? It's self-defense, okay? Didn't Master Song say that With her planning there, that prophecy would not have come true. Otherwise, those things would have happened."
Zhang Yunming frowned: "Master Song said that?"
Zhang Yunzheng said confidently: "That's what he said, you don't usually like to take notes, so don't be careful."
Zhang Yunming looked at Zhang Yunzheng coldly, Zhang Yunzheng asked: "Master Song is your enlightenment master? How about others?"
Zhang Yunming rolled his eyes and said: "He was born in the family, he is a bastard, and he was forced to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics when he was young, but he just didn't like to study essays. He was almost beaten to death by his father when he was ten years old because of this matter." , his mother quietly sent him out of the house. Dad picked him up on the road, and he has been following him, he is still his military advisor."
Zhang Yunzheng was dissatisfied: "Why don't I have an enlightened master?"
Zhang Yunming smiled: "Are you still complaining? Father Xiaoyao, who is both civil and military, came to teach you, but you beat him away."
Zhang Yunzheng said sharply: "Why did I beat him away? It was just an excuse. He said he had been here for ten years, and he was almost suffocated. In the last year, he complained every day, picked my nose and eyes at me, Just pick me to hit him!"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "You have such a bad temper, you really deserve that little chubby duck full of tricks, I just like to see you quarrel with her, God is fair."
Zhang Yunzheng waved his fist at Zhang Yunming: "You want to fight?!"
Zhang Yunming said: "Come on, come on!"
The two of them fought all the way to the door of the hall where Mrs. Li was doing business, then stopped, straightened their clothes, entered the door one after another, and greeted Mrs. Li in unison: "Hello, mother!"
It was rare for Mrs. Li to see two people coming in harmony. He put down the thick account book in his hands, and said with a smile, "Come here, my son. How is today? How is the food? Are you tired?"
She paid special attention to Zhang Yunzheng, pulled Zhang Yunzheng to sit beside her, looked at Zhang Yunzheng with a smile, her eyes were full of tears - she always felt sorry for this son.
Zhang Yunzheng was embarrassed, with a sullen face and a stiff body—how old am I? Still doing this to me
Zhang Yunming moved to Li's other side: "Mother, we also went to Mother's Huanyin Pavilion today. The pearl balls and ginger lotus root slices there are really the best in the capital."
Mrs. Li smiled and turned to Zhang Yunming: "It's time for you to take over. There are nearly a hundred businesses in the capital, and thousands of dollars are paid every day. I'm getting old, so I can't keep watching."
Zhang Yunming immediately said: "Mom, how old are you? You're so young! I don't want to worry about these things, and I'll go to poetry fairs when I have time. Let my brother take care of it."
Zhang Yunzheng immediately said: "I don't care about it!"
Mrs. Li looked at Zhang Yunming with a smile: "I have to quickly find a wife for you to take care of things." Zhang Yunming is about to turn nineteen, and the sons of ordinary families are already engaged or married. It turns out that Marquis Pingyuan has been considering which one is suitable because of the secret of Zhang Yunzheng in his family. But Mrs. Li was afraid that Zhang Yunming's marriage would be an irritation to his second son who couldn't see anyone, so he also wanted to procrastinate. Then there was the matter of the fourth princess, and there was no way to say kiss. Now that the second son came out under someone else's name, the matter of the fourth princess seemed to be over. She thought it was time to start looking for a wife for Zhang Yunming.
Zhang Yunming immediately said: "Don't wait! I'm too picky! Besides, I don't want to now."
Yes, I fell in love with the fifth princess! Zhang Yunzheng snorted coldly: "Mother, don't worry about him! Just ignore him!"
Zhang Yunming said: "Hey, hey! Don't force me to say that my mother will help you choose a wife!"
Mrs. Li sighed apologetically to Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes: "Why are you sighing? I don't want to get married before the age of twenty-two!"
Zhang Yunming said: "That's right, he has just left the yard, he is about the age of a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and he will have to grow up for a few years."
Just as Zhang Yunzheng was about to get angry, Mrs. Li comforted Zhang Yunzheng: "You haven't been out much before, so you're naturally naive, it's okay, mother likes you with all your sincerity."
Zhang Yunming tsk tsk: "You are such a good boy."
Zhang Yunzheng listened, and made a face to Zhang Yunming that Shen Wen had made - sticking out his tongue and turning his eyes upwards.
Zhang Yunming said to Li Shi: "Mother, look at him!"
Li patted Zhang Yunzheng's hand with a smile, then sighed: "I just like you two to be good, don't fight all the time."
Zhang Yunming immediately said: "Mom, he hit me!"
Zhang Yunzheng immediately raised his fist, and Li quickly grabbed Zhang Yunzheng's sleeve: "You have such a temper! How can you say you can do it right away?"
Zhang Yunzheng pointed to Zhang Yunming: "He sued!"
Zhang Yunming laughed: "Mom, look, isn't he also suing?"
Zhang Yunzheng finally couldn't bear it any longer, stood up, and rushed towards Zhang Yunming, Zhang Yunming also jumped up, and said while running, "Mom, take a good rest! I'll lure him away!"
Zhang Yunzheng also called: "Mom! He's looking for a beating!"
The two of them immediately left Li's living room one after another, and walked away across the courtyard.
Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head: "Two rebellious sons!" But she was in a particularly good mood.
People said that the young master came back from school, so Mrs. Li hurriedly asked someone to bring Zhang Yunzhao over.
Compared with the two restless sons, Li Shi thinks Zhang Yunzhao is the most obedient. Probably because of poor health, the child who is almost ten years old still doesn't like to talk. After walking a few more steps, I will breathe slightly. Mrs. Li asked Zhang Yunzhao to sit beside him, smiled and asked him about the school, ordered him to order a small meal, and urged him to take a bite.
Zhang Yunzhao lazily and listlessly took a bite of his snack. After discussing with Song Yao, Marquis Pingyuan came over to see his wife. Ever since hearing the tragic ending, Marquis Pingyuan always felt sorry for Mrs. Li, and he often came to visit and say some nasty words to Mrs. Li.
Seeing Marquis Pingyuan enter the door, Mrs. Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty is here, sit down quickly." He signaled Zhang Yunzhao to salute Marquis Pingyuan. Zhang Yunzhao was much more obedient than Zhang Yunzheng, he immediately got up and saluted, and politely said: "How is Daddy?" He looked like a very young adult.
Marquis Pingyuan looked at his sick young son, smiled and let him sit down, and said to Mrs. Li: "We still have to let Zhao'er practice martial arts."
Mrs. Li looked at her youngest son with some distress, and reluctantly said: "I will listen to Lord Hou."
Marquis Pingyuan said to Mrs. Li: "Don't worry, I will definitely find him a good master."
Li sighed: "It's best not to let him suffer, just keep fit and healthy."
Marquis Pingyuan shook his head at Mrs. Li: "Madam is really a loving mother."
Mrs. Li covered her mouth and smiled: "A loving mother has many losers, Master Hou is saying that it's no wonder that the children I raise are all rebellious sons?"
Ping Yuanhou said solemnly: "How come? It means that Madam should share some doting... Do you know who it is?"
Li covered her cheeks with a handkerchief: "In front of the child, what does your husband say?"
Zhang Yunzhao raised his hand: "I know, father means that mother should spoil him more."
Li blushed and looked at Ping Yuanhou reproachfully.
Ping Yuanhou Zhang Yunzhao said with a serious expression: "After eating snacks, go out for more walks, don't always read in the room, be careful to become a nerd."
Zhang Yunzhao said listlessly: "No one plays with me, I don't want to go out."
Marquis Pingyuan waved his hand: "Go, go, then you have to go out." He sent Zhang Yunzhao away.
--------------------------------
A few days after the Beirong envoy team left Beijing, Shen Wen thought that he should discuss with Zhang Yunming about building a bandit force, and he also had to go to the house to see if the secret room had been built, so he told Su Wanniang that he would go to the house to see at night. If there is no one there, just wander around the palace by yourself.
Su Wanniang immediately frowned when she heard this: I will see my cousin again after this time! But then I heard Shen Wen say that I was going to the palace, so I hurriedly said: "You should just go to that courtyard! I embroidered a few orchids on your night clothes, which can barely be regarded as outer clothes." The clothes are so spirited, my lady went to see him, she was not so stunning, and she was only wearing simple night clothes, she was so lacking in class, she might not be able to hold him down.
Shen Wen smiled: "Sister Wanniang! It's fine for me to dress in black, why do I need to embroider?!"
Su Wanniang was a little depressed: "You're a young lady, how can you wear non-embroidered clothes to meet people? That's too unruly, and you don't have to pay attention to underwear. If you don't dress neatly and see outsiders, from now on..." How can you marry
Shen Wen went to hold Su Wanniang's arm: "I have a lot to do in the future, so it doesn't matter if I see a foreigner or not."
Su Wanniang thought about it, that's right, the two of them plotted to pull the prince down, what is it to see a foreigner
Su Wanniang sighed: "Forget it, it's a big deal, I'll accompany you..." But she hesitated later, thinking of the promise she made to the fourth prince at that time.
Shen Wen smiled at Mimi: "Don't accompany me, I'm still waiting for you to get married, go make trouble in your bridal chamber!"
Su Wanniang scolded: "What are you talking about?! I won't..." At the end of the sentence, she swallowed again.
Shen Wen smiled secretly, grabbed Su Wanniang's shoulder and whispered, "Our brother-in-law didn't say anything this time?"
Last time, Su Wanniang told Shen Wen the reason why the fourth prince did not want to be the emperor, and she had to tell the part that involved herself. Shen Wen later upgraded the title of the fourth prince. She has directly classified the fourth prince as a housewife: in the previous life, the fourth prince lived in the shadows for a lifetime, and I have never heard of him having any great talents: a crippled prince has never been to the court in his life, so naturally he has no suggestions. Exaggerated, made a policy. Later, the third prince was still in charge of the army and died on the battlefield, while the fourth prince wasted his entire life. In this life, Shen Wen didn't take him too seriously. Although I asked the fourth prince if he wanted to be emperor, it was more to test his mind. Even if the third prince doesn't want to be the emperor, but the third prince is the elder brother, if there is no good reason, he really shouldn't be skipping over the third prince and supporting a prince who hasn't shown any political talents. Even if it is very unlikely that the fourth prince will suddenly transform into someone else in the future, he can't stand up as a young man without a solid basis. If that were the case, not to mention the chaos in the government and the public, it would also cause a rivalry between the third prince and the fourth prince.
Shen Wen felt that it would be good for the fourth prince to be an idle prince, with a gentle temper, loves to play chess, and has a sense of humor, so he would be a good husband, so he naturally agreed with Su Wanniang to be with him, calling him "brother-in-law".
Su Wanniang pushed Shen Wen away, blushing: "He said, Ji Jili, he wants to give me a hairpin..."
Shen Wen said decisively: "Don't think about it! I have to give you the hairpin! You knew me first!"
Su Wanniang murmured: "I said the same thing, but he said, if I don't want his, he will come and put it on for me..."
Shen Wen smiled instead: "It's fine for him to come, don't even think about wearing his hairpin!"
Su Wanniang widened her eyes and said, "How could he come?! He's a foreigner!"
Shen Wen sighed, and said to Su Wanniang: "It's nothing for him to come, but when you turn 20, ten years haven't passed yet, if you don't, then you can't get married right away, and if he comes, it will be in vain..."
Su Wanniang gritted her teeth and pushed Shen Wen hard: "Say it again! Say it again!"
Shen Wen was pushed back and forth on the ground crookedly, saying in his mouth: "Why am I so dizzy? Am I drunk?"...
Xia Qing, who was guarding the door, coughed, and the two of them stopped arguing immediately, and sat down at the table in an orderly manner.
Xia Lan's voice at the courtyard gate: "Madam Qian is here?"
Madam Qian agreed, and went to the door to ask Xia Qing, "Is Miss there?"
Su Wanniang said loudly, "Madam Qian, come in!"
Xia Qing opened the door silently, Madam Qian looked at Xia Qing: "Oh, what kind of rule is this, people don't even say a word when they come?"
Xia Qing still didn't speak, Su Wanniang welcomed Madam Qian into the room with a smile, and said: "She has that temperament, Madam, don't need to be annoyed, please sit down."
Shen Wen also got up, and asked with a smile, "How is Madam Qian? Is it mother's business?"
Grandma Qian said with a smile: "Not really, I think Xia Wan has reached Jiji's age, right? Is it necessary to perform Jiji ceremony? I like this child and want to put a hairpin on her."
Thinking that Madam Qian might be someone's eyeliner, Shen Wen's heart suddenly became angry: I inserted a hairpin for Su Wanniang, even if she is Su Wanniang's elder, she will always be able to overwhelm Su Wanniang in the future. This is when they want to reach out to themselves again.
Su Wanniang's face froze for a moment, but she immediately lowered her head pretending to be shy. Just now she was joking with Shen Wen, saying that the Fourth Prince would come in vain, but this informant who was connected to the prince or the emperor wanted to add a hairpin to her Jiji, what a good idea!
Shen Wen pursed her lips: "I want my mother to accept sister Wanniang as a righteous daughter someday, so I can give her a gift!" Madam Qian was dumbfounded, and Shen Wen pursed her lips and smiled: "However, thank you, mama! Thinking of my sister Wanniang, grandma is so kind!"
Madam Qian blinked her eyes twice, looked at Shen Wen, then at Su Wanniang, smiled awkwardly, and whispered, "I heard that Xia Wan's father..."
Shen Wen waved his hands vigorously like a child: "How many years ago did that happen? I forgot it all! If my mother hasn't forgotten, just wait a few more years. When my mother has almost forgotten, I will go and tell my mother, Recognize Sister Wanniang!" She smiled and said to Su Wanniang: "Sister Wanniang, do you think this is okay?" In her tone, it seemed that she was instructed by Su Wanniang to please Su Wanniang.
Su Wanniang and Shen Wen have been together for a long time, without any preparation in advance, she immediately understood Shen Wen's intentions, and said to Shen Wen with a smile: "Miss is thoughtful, that's good."
Madam Qian finally closed her mouth, swallowed, and said with a forced smile: "Miss is so kind..."
Shen Wen shyly said, "No, I can't do without Sister Wanniang!" She stretched out her hand, shook Su Wanniang's hand, and said coquettishly, "Sister Wanniang, in this way, will you stay? Come down?" It seems that Su Wanniang often uses this threat to leave.
Su Wanniang followed Shen Wen's wishes and sighed: "Okay, Miss said so, I won't leave now."
Grandma Qian asked, "Where is Xia Wan going?"
Shen Wen explained: "Sister Wanniang has grown up and is going to take her brother back to her hometown."
Madam Qian despises: No one has visited Su Wanniang's hometown so far. This is obviously deceiving Shen Wen, forcing her to arrange for Su Wanniang to be recognized as a righteous daughter. Once she becomes Lord Hou's adoptive daughter, Su Wanniang can marry a good family. If this young lady makes trouble, she can even give Su Wanniang a dowry! Su Wanniang is so calculating!
Madam Qian suppressed her anger, stood up and said, "In this case, I'll go back first. Do you want me to tell Madam about this?"
Shen Wen said indifferently: "It's up to you. I originally wanted to mention it to my mother in a few days. If she refuses, I will cry. Mother likes me the most, and she will definitely agree."
Madam Qian said in her heart that I won't talk about it yet. If you procrastinate for a while, this will be done without you crying. Leaving with a dry smile on her face, Su Wanniang sent her out with a smile.
Su Wanniang returned to the room, Shen Wen smiled at her at the table, Su Wanniang nodded her forehead: "You just forced them to attack me like this?"
Shen Wen said: "It's a matter of time. The higher you are raised, the higher the price they will have to fight for you. If this word is released today, they will no longer want to come here just because of a gift. Get close to you. 'The adopted daughter of the Hou's Mansion'! The price they offer should be at least similar to this, plus excuses such as intimidation and revenge."
Su Wanniang thought for a while and said, "But this 'adopted daughter' cannot be recognized now."
Shen Wenla Su Wanniang: "That's right! Sister Wanniang is more thoughtful. If you admit it now, your identity will be confirmed, and you may be less likely to win over. Even if you say you are helping them, they will still think it's an injustice. It’s a plan. I have to ask my second brother to talk to the old lady, and I’ll drag it out anyway, let out the wind, but I can’t settle down and hang them.”
Su Wanniang nodded and said, "When they come to win me over, something big must happen."
Shen Wen said: "Yes." Seeing Su Wanniang's nervous expression, Shen Wen hurriedly said: "But don't worry, I don't think they should move in the past two years. If they want to move, it must be when I am about to reach the age, while I am still there." If you don't promise marriage, you will destroy my boudoir name."
Su Wanniang shook her head to Shen Wen: "You didn't feel scared when you said these words? Even a little bit?"
Shen Wen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Su Wanniang sighed, and patted her chest twice: "Now I know what happened to my parents! You and my younger brother are all here to collect debts from me!"
Shen Wen laughed, hugged Su Wanniang's arm and said in a low voice: "People say that friends don't get together, be careful, my brother-in-law must be too..."
He didn't finish talking, and Su Wanniang had already pushed and shoved him to the bedside to creak and itch.
At night, Shen Wen wore the night clothes embroidered by Su Wanniang, ran to the deserted courtyard, and found a room with a light on. Shen Wen grabbed the sand and stone, the door opened, Zhang Yunzheng stood at the door with the backlight, and Shen Wen jumped out from the darkness.
