Because he was thinking about the bandits and water bandits, Shen Wen didn't want to provoke Zhang Yunzheng, wrinkled his nose at him as a greeting, and rushed into the door.
There were several lights in the room, which illuminated the room brightly, probably because Zhang Yunming was frightened last time. There was a pile of mud, a pile of sand, and a large pile of bricks and stones on the ground. One-third of the gable wall has been built with a half-person-high wall.
Zhang Yunming sat on a grand teacher's chair with his legs crossed, his whole body covered in mud spots, holding a paper fan in his hand, he couldn't get up, smiled and nodded to Shen Wen. Shen Wen knew how she looked like a girl under the age of twelve, and she would never get the respect from the nineteen-year-old Zhang Yunming, so she didn't care about it. She looked for a place to sit, only to find that Zhang Yunzheng's upper body was only a vest, with bare shoulders and arms It was covered in mud, and the muscles of the upper arms protruded. Probably aware of Shen Wen's gaze, Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "What are you looking at?!" He walked to the side, picked up a piece of clothing, and put it on indiscriminately.
Shen Wen pouted: "Who is watching you? I'm looking at the pile of sand and the half-built wall you built."
Zhang Yunzheng snorted coldly: "Little liar!"
Shen Wen was about to blush, and looked around the room with a disdainful expression. Seeing Shen Wen sizing up, Zhang Yunming asked with a smile: "We did a good job, right?"
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and said, "What do you mean 'we'?! You didn't do anything!"
Zhang Yunming raised an eyebrow: "Who said I didn't do it? I stacked two bricks! It's not my fault that you broke it."
Zhang Yunzheng said angrily: "That's called bricks? The bricks are half protruding! You are afraid that the wall is too flat and others won't suspect it?"
Shen Wen took a closer look at the wall built by Zhang Yunzheng. It was really neat and tidy, and even the mud on the joints of the bricks was smoothed.
Zhang Yunming raised his head: "That doesn't mean I didn't work! At least I did a little bit..." While speaking, a piece of mud flew over. Zhang Yunming opened the paper fan to block it, and with a slap, the mud hit the paper fan. Splashing, Shen Wen jumped away with a scream, and was still splashed with some muddy water, now he understood how the mud spots on Zhang Yunming's clothes came from.
Zhang Yunming laughed: "It didn't hit me in the mouth again!" He said to Shen Wen: "He said he wanted to paste my mouth with mud, but he hasn't done it yet..." With a whoosh, Zhang Yunming raised his fan again, another blow mud bomb.
Shen Wen shouted: "I ran out with great difficulty, not to watch you fight! What should we do about the bandits and water bandits?"
Zhang Yunming shook off the muddy water on the fan, and said indifferently: "Oh, that matter, it's okay if you don't find someone, right?"
Shen Wen was anxious: "What do you mean nothing?! There are no grassroots bandits, how will you rob the food and weapons that the prince delivered to Beirong in the future?"
Zhang Yunming shook Erlang's upturned legs, and said, "That's too easy, don't worry, I've taken care of everything!"
Shen Wen looked at him suspiciously: "It's done? It's only been a few days?"
Zhang Yunming slapped his folding fan: "It means I can do it, right? Unlike some people who have been busy for a whole day before building half a wall..." He lifted the fan violently, and with a bang, blocked another attack.
Zhang Yunzheng said angrily while putting bricks on the wall: "You big liar! That's Dad's man!"
Suddenly, Shen Wen pointed to Zhang Yunming and said, "You really are a big liar! Did you tell your father?!" She immediately asked nervously, "You didn't tell me, did you?"
Zhang Yunzheng interrupted: "You want to show off that much?"
Shen Wen retorted: "I don't want to! It's best not to say it."
Zhang Yunming waved his fan and said, "I said that there was an expert who pointed out the future. My father guessed that this person was related to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but he didn't guess it was you."
Shen Wen asked: "Did he believe it?"
Zhang Yunming said ambiguously: "I believe it. He went to search my stupid brother's room and found his record of wiretapping Beirong. He knew that the crown prince was going to transport food, so he probably wanted to rob him."
Shen Wen glared at Zhang Yunzheng: "Stupid! How could such an important thing be found?"
Zhang Yunzheng also responded angrily: "Our family is not like yours! It's like a sieve! We have a lot of hidden things in our house! What's wrong with being searched by my father?! Didn't it just happen to be borrowed from his people? You are stupid! "
Shen Wen thinks about it, Zhang Yunzheng is such a living person, he has been a young lady for more than 20 years and has not revealed his secrets, let alone a few pieces of paper. Quickly changed the subject and asked Zhang Yunming: "Is your father someone? Is it reliable?"
Zhang Yunzheng said in a low voice, "I have no experience!"
Zhang Yunming said somewhat proudly: "My father said that he has the original subordinates. He originally wanted to protect our family from escaping if something happened one day. So he can give us people right away, and he also gave us his military adviser Song Yao it's..."
Shen Wen pointed to Zhang Yunzheng: "He mentioned this name when he opened his eyes that day!"
Zhang Yunming nodded and said: "He is my enlightenment master, he has been with my father for many years."
Shen Wen said again and again: "No wonder, no wonder!" She pointed at Zhang Yunzheng again: "No wonder he escaped and immediately went to assassinate the crown prince, and then went out of the capital after he failed. It must be with the help of this person. Can't make a fuss."
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean you can't make trouble?! Anyway, you won't die like a fool!"
Shen Wen punched Zhang Yunzheng: "You bastard! I won't tell you any more secrets!"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "Then why did you tell my brother my secret?!"
Shen Wen was at a loss for words for a moment, but he didn't answer. In order to get revenge on Zhang Yunzheng, I told Zhang Yunming about his night visits to the Prince's Mansion and Wanhualou. Did this violate the tacit understanding between the two of them? Shen Wen felt a little guilty.
Zhang Yunming hurriedly asked Shen Wen: "What's a secret'? Is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Shen Wen stared: "The secret is that your brother jumped out of a rock!"
Zhang Yunming pretended to be stupid and said in a daze: "Why? You must be wrong, there is no such person!" Seeing that Shen Wen was about to open his mouth again, he said proudly: "Is my father powerful? He was discharged from the military, but he did not let go He said that he now has more than 20,000 people around him, and there are more in the south.”
Shen Wen could only nod his head: "Your father is much smarter than mine! Look at my father, all the elite soldiers are at the border, and the capital is a large number of women, children, old and young in the mansion. Although there are guards loyal to the Hou's mansion, there are also guards inside. Spy, there is no one else to respond. If something happens, the whole family has no way out." He sighed again: "No wonder your father knew to ask for money when he was applying for marriage! He wants to support this large group of people!"
The rebellious Zhang Yunzheng immediately sang the opposite tune: "But when something happened, most of them followed my father to fight against the enemy, and my family was still wiped out later."
Zhang Yunming frowned at Zhang Yunzheng: "Don't turn your elbows away! To outsiders, you have to speak nicely of Dad, understand?"
Shen Wen nodded his cheeks with his hands: "Your father finally chose Weiguo instead of protecting the family. I am too suspicious now, maybe this is the prince's conspiracy."
Zhang Yunming slapped his palm lightly with a fan: "That's right, I forced my father to use the old department to eliminate hidden dangers."
Shen Wen thought for a while, and asked, "Didn't your father say what you want to do by yourself?"
Zhang Yunming shook his head and said in a low voice: "I think my father still can't believe it 100%, he really doesn't want to be a traitor."
Shen Wen sighed: "My father is too!"
Zhang Yunzheng said to Shen Wen contemptuously: "They don't want to do anything out of the ordinary, your plan had better be successful, otherwise..."
Shen Wen rolled his eyes and said, "What else? Are you going to assassinate the prince again? No matter how you think about your unambitious head, you will never think of the things I designed, so don't worry about it!"
Zhang Yunming laughed loudly: "A head with no ambition... Where is this..."
Zhang Yunzheng scooped up a pile of mud with a trowel, and said to Shen Wen: "I think I should put this mud in your mouth too!"
Shen Wen shouted: "Do you dare? Do you dare? I'm not finished with you!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Of course I dare! There is no end! Who is afraid of you?!"
Shen Wen bared his teeth and claws: "I'm not afraid of you either! Try it!"
Zhang Yunzheng smirked: "Open your mouth!"...
Zhang Yunming is now used to the quarrels between these two people, he didn't care at all, he just tried his best to keep the conversation straight, and asked Shen Wen with a smile: "My father said that you want to make wine, it must be for the purpose of using the fire array, isn't it? "
Shen Wen twitched his lips: "Your father is too cunning! No wonder you are so cunning!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "You still call others cunning? You are a liar yourself!"
Shen Wen gritted his teeth at Zhang Yunzheng: "Don't lie? If you don't lie, you can only assassinate the prince again and again and fail. Those who work hard will rule others! Do you understand?"
Zhang Yunming nodded to Zhang Yunzheng and said: "That's right, laborers rule over others, so you have to build walls..." "Crack" is another mud bomb!
There was more mud this time, and Shen Wen jumped a little further with a cry. Pointing to the mud spots on her night clothes, she said angrily: "Look, if you stain my clothes, you will pay for it!"
Zhang Yunzheng glanced at it, and sneered: "If it's dirty, it's dirty. If it's dirty, don't you just wash it? Want to blackmail people again?!"
Shen Wen jumped: "How do I wash? How do I dry it? Put it in the yard and tell everyone—come and see my night clothes! Ah?! Is there such a stupid one? My sister Wanniang even embroidered flowers on this dress." Well, she will be so sad if she gets muddy after wearing it for the first time!"
Zhang Yunzheng squinted his eyes hard: "Just those two leaves are also called embroidery? You are fooled!"
Shen Wen resolutely defended Su Wanniang: "My sister Wanniang wants to make clothes for me behind my back, is it easy to embroider something? You ungrateful little bastard! I dare say you have never said thank you to your parents!"
Zhang Yunming laughed loudly: "You scold me so much!" Before he could finish his words, he raised his fan again to block a cloud of mud.
Shen Wen let out a sigh of relief, and with the fact that the bandits had been implemented, he let go of another big burden in his heart. He was excited and said eagerly, "Since your father is a sergeant, it will save effort in training. I will write a training charter." , you should not only use it to train your people, but also give it to my second brother, and let him take it to the border to train soldiers."
After Shen Wen finished speaking, he walked to the table, grinded the ink, and began to write. Zhang Yunming sat for a while, felt curious, walked over, and looked at it with his head tilted.
Zhang Yunzheng was embarrassed to walk over, so he frowned and built the wall, shaking the mud with a loud noise. Zhang Yunming looked up at him, smiled gloatingly, and saw that Shen Wen had almost finished writing, and then muttered in a low voice: "Recruit: get up in the morning, carry a weight of 30 catties, and run for 20 miles; breakfast. In the morning, basic skills such as archery and fighting. Lunch , nap. In the afternoon, push-ups non-stop, one hour; sit-ups, a quarter of an hour, raise the thighs, two quarters of an hour. Run, run half a mile at a fast pace, jog at 100 breaths, and run fast... until dinner. Before going to bed, Weightlifting, 50 catties with one hand, 100 strikes in each hand; 20 catties of stone locks in each hand, do boxing movements, from slow to fast, 1000 strikes... A sergeant with a three-month foundation, wake up in the morning..." He raised his head and asked Shen Wen: "Are you going to exhaust people to death?"
Shen Wen said: "What are you talking about! Physical training, understand? These are exercises for soldiers to strengthen their bodies so that their hands and feet will not be weak by then."
Zhang Yunming pointed to the paper and said, "What are push-ups? What are sit-ups?"
Shen Wen said: "I'll do it for you!" She chose a clean place, bent down, and did two push-ups. Then I got up, moved a few bricks to the ground, put my feet on them, and made a few more demanding ones. She is good at light work, but her arm strength is not strong enough, she was out of breath after doing a few, stood up and said to Zhang Yunming: "You do it!"
Zhang Yunming turned on the muddy water fan and fanned it slowly, probably to avoid blowing the muddy water onto his face, and said helplessly, "I can't do it!" He turned to Zhang Yunzheng and said, "You have a try."
Zhang Yunzheng walked over with an unhappy look, and muttered: "What's so great about this." He leaned down beside Shen Wen, and Shen Wen corrected his movements: "Separate your arms, slightly wider than your shoulders, and your toes are on the ground... Yes, that’s it, the waist and abdomen are strong! The body is straight, the elbows are opened... Okay... the whole body sinks like a iron plate, controlled by the arms, and then rises... That’s right! Huh, what’s so great about this, then you continue to do it, see How much can you do."
Push-ups are said to have been invented by Jerick Revilla and became popular in 1905, but some sources say that it was invented by Roman Emperor Constantine. This is a devil's movement hated by many people. It can simultaneously exercise the muscles of the chest, back, upper arm, forearm, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, and improve the endurance level of the muscles. It is widely used in the physical training of the army and schools.
Zhang Yunzheng has practiced martial arts since he was a child, so naturally he has no problem doing dozens of movements. But after doing many of them, he started to sweat a little. Shen Wen said critically: "You can't bend your back, and your arms should come this way... If you are not tired, just do it with one hand..."
Zhang Yunzheng jumped up and said angrily: "How many have you done?! Just pointing fingers here?!"
Zhang Yunming nodded: "That's right, you're out of breath after only doing seven, and my younger brother has done more than a hundred."
Shen Wen raised his chin: "He's a man! A man! A man has a lot of muscles! He's going to do physical work, otherwise why do you want a man? He can't have children!"
Zhang Yunming looked at Shen Wen out of the corner of his eyes: "Listen to you, you seem to look down on men."
Shen Wen immediately apologized and smiled: "Of course I can afford it! Otherwise, where would I find the money?"
Zhang Yunming said to Zhang Yunzheng: "I think she is scolding us."
Zhang Yunzheng said viciously: "I won't give her any more money!"
Shen Wen said pitifully: "If you don't give me money, I won't be able to build a wine cellar, make weapons, and strengthen the border..."
Zhang Yunming held up his fan: "Okay, okay! Don't read the seedlings anymore! What about the sit-ups?"
Shen Wen couldn't lie on the ground in front of them, so he said to Zhang Yunzheng, "Lie down."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Why is it me again?!"
Zhang Yunming slapped the fan gracefully, "Because I'm a scholar! I can't do things that insult gentlemen."
Shen Wen turned his head and reprimanded: "What is insulting to the gentleman? It's not about asking you to take off your clothes."
Zhang Yunming covered his face with a fan: "Oh my God! How can Second Miss Shen be so rude?!"
Shen Wen urged Zhang Yunzheng, "Hurry up! I have to go!"
Zhang Yunzheng lay on the ground unwillingly, while Shen Wen squatted beside him and pointed: "Put your hands behind your head, exert force here! Lift your legs up, bend your knees... it's enough for your head to be here... put it down... get up again..." See Zhang Yunzheng Without any difficulty, Shen Wen said: "Straighten your thighs and draw your legs round..."
Zhang Yunming laughed again, Zhang Yunzheng stood up like a carp, glared at Shen Wen and said, "Are you kidding me?!"
Shen Wen was angry: "Old hat! That's more tiring than sit-ups. Go back and try it yourself! See how many circles you can draw."
Seeing that Zhang Yunzheng was in a hurry, Zhang Yunming hurriedly smoothed things over: "What's the matter with this boxing move?"
Shen Wen said: "You know martial arts, do you still need me to tell you?" She bent down and picked up two bricks, one in each hand, and said: "This is the way to hold heavy boxing..." She put her hands on her waist first, and then punched Holding the brick and hitting it slowly, he said in his mouth: "Punching should be slow, and there is a turning movement to develop muscles. If it is fast, it depends on thrust, not arm strength. Look at my waist! I need to use my waist." Strength, there is a twist here! If you only rely on the arms, it is difficult for people who do not know martial arts to gather strength, so the strength is at the waist! See? The lower abdomen is naturally tense! When changing punches , the shoulders need to move..."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and looked at Shen Wen's twisted soft and round waist, saw Zhang Yunming nodding with a smile on one side of his face, and punched Zhang Yunming violently. Zhang Yunming has been practicing for a long time, he tilted his head away, and said to Zhang Yunzheng angrily: "Why are you crazy?! Her method is very good, and those who do not have a martial arts master can practice punching! After a year and a half of fighting like this Even ordinary soldiers can strike powerfully."
Shen Wen finished the movement, threw the brick, clapped his hands and said: "After practicing, it should be no problem to do a one-handed handstand or pull-ups! I told you, if you have a chance, go tell my second brother about it." Said, he is going to the border, and he has to train soldiers. In the mansion, I have to make up a reason when I go to the second brother's yard. Moreover, he will leave in a few days, and I am embarrassed to go often , let my second sister-in-law spend more time with him."
Zhang Yunming nodded and said: "I'm planning to invite him to dinner and give him a farewell party. I'll tell him about it when the time comes."
Shen Wen thought of another thing, and said in a low voice: "Do you have anyone who is extremely reliable for my second brother? The people around him want to give him a knife in the future, which really makes me worry."
Zhang Yunming frowned and said: "My people usually go out with me, and there are too many people who have seen them. If it is really necessary, it must be his people." He raised his chin to Zhang Yunzheng.
Shen Wen knew that Zhang Yunzheng's secret had not been leaked out, so he could see that the people around him were reliable, so he agreed, "That's great!"
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "What's so good? Do I agree?"
Shen Wen pouted at Zhang Yunzheng, and coquettishly said, "Why don't you agree? Don't be childish!"
Looking at Shen Wen's piggy face expression, Zhang Yunzheng said angrily: "You are the child!"
Before Shen Wen could speak, the sound of gongs came from the street in the distance. She said in surprise: "I have to go! Otherwise, it will be dawn!" Then she waved her hand, listened to the outside, opened the door and went out. Once off, her voice will never be heard again.
Zhang Yunming chuckled: "Okay, you can give it to someone! In this way, we will also have contact with the border gate." The Pingyuan Hou Mansion spent so much money for the border gate, there should be a contact person there. Otherwise, I don't know what the specific situation is.
Zhang Yunzheng didn't speak, and went back angrily to continue building the wall. He was seventeen years old, and he was full of vigor. At this moment, he felt disturbed in his heart. When a brick went down, he found that it was not aligned. He was so angry that he smashed the crooked brick.
Zhang Yunming yawned, folded the paper written by Shen Wen, put it in his arms, and said: "Let's go back home, we'll take a good look at this tomorrow."
Zhang Yunzheng threw the trowel on the ground angrily. Zhang Yunming asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Yunzheng said unhappily, "I'm sleepy!"
Zhang Yunming knew that Zhang Yunzheng often lost his temper for no reason, so he didn't pursue it, so the two left after blowing the lights.
----------------------------------
The next day is the imperial court's rest. Officials at all levels do not go to court, but wash at home or travel. At the end of noon, four or five staff members of the Eastern Palace were waiting outside the study where the prince usually worked. The season has entered May, and the sun is shining brightly, scorching people. Several people stood under the same roof, obviously it was the agreed time, but the two eunuchs guarding the gate of the courtyard refused to let them in, saying that the prince was busy.
A few people were chatting some gossip in low voices, and then heard a few short screams from the study, followed by a long and loud moan. These people all have families, so they naturally understood what was going on. Looking at each other, one of them smiled awkwardly: "His Royal Highness, you are really...brave..."
The other man looked at the sky at noon, and there was nothing wrong with it. The four words "declaring prostitution in the daytime" flashed in the minds of several people at the same time.
One person said, "How about we go back first?"
One person disagreed: "The prince said yesterday that he will see me at this time, if he looks for someone later and we are not here, what should we say?"
Another person said: "Let's just wait, since we're here, we have to see you."
The imperial court takes a bath once every ten days, and it is always too late to discuss matters with the prince after going to court. Taking advantage of Xiumu today, I originally thought that I would say everything that should be said in the afternoon, so that I could go home early, but now I have to wait when I come here, and several people are somewhat frustrated.
This wait lasted for nearly an hour, during which some eunuchs carried bathtubs in, some brought various teas and meals, and some carried stacks of robes.
None of these people said anything, but they couldn't help wondering: Why did they have to be here and now? There are already more than 30 people in the prince's harem, don't they have at least 30 bedrooms? Why must it be in the study room for discussion? Although the prince still has to do some business in the future, isn't there a night every day? Why can't he do this comfortably at night, but choose to make such a fuss in broad daylight
Naturally, they don't understand the so-called "the more taboo, the more exciting" theory of the descendants. The prince now wants strong excitement. It is because the study should not be used to do this, the study can make the prince especially want to do this. The same is true in terms of time, the more he knows that someone is coming and he can't do it, the more the prince wants to do it. If he didn't feel so guilty, the prince would not be interested.
When the few people waited until their backs were sore and their legs hurt, two soft sedan chairs were lifted out from inside, followed by seven or eight palace people. The hearts of several people who thought they would not be surprised were shocked again: two!
These people walked for a while before they were passed inside.
When they entered the study room, although the air was filled with water vapor and fragrance, there was still a hint of decay. The ground was wet, and several people carefully avoided water stains, saluted the crown prince sitting behind the table with a sluggish expression, and felt a little bit drummed in their hearts: Maybe they really should go home, the prince looked like he wanted to rest.
The crown prince waved his hands and said, "The matter of Huo Luo is finally done. Now, tell me how you want to get the 300,000 catties of grain and weapons and iron."
An aide said: "There are several ways for grain. One is to exchange sand and stone for the grain in the existing granary, that is, to extract the grain and then mix sand and stone into the rice grain. Moreover, in the past two or three years, the harvest Very good, the granaries are full everywhere, I will allow the granary to be depleted, and our people will directly transport the grain out, as long as there is not much, no one will notice."
The prince asked, "Is there anyone in the place?"
The staff replied: "Yes, the prefects in several places are all people who have shown favor to the prince. As long as they say that the prince needs grain, if they don't spend too much effort, they will definitely be able to deliver it."
The prince nodded: "Is there any other way?"
The staff replied: "Secondly, the Ministry of Households is already under the control of the Lu family, and the Ministry of Finance is the direct line of the Lu family. In recent years, the country has sufficient tax money, and last year's grain was extremely cheap. Although there is little rain this spring and many places are dry, But summer has just begun, and the rainy season has not yet arrived, so there will be rains. Even if the harvest is mediocre, grains will not be that expensive. If the grains obtained from various places are not as much as needed, grains are not expensive now. Letting people from our household department take out money to buy grain privately should also be able to make up for the shortage."
The crown prince nodded again, and the staff continued, "Even if we really can't get it all together, we can still rob large grain stores. One granary can guarantee half of the agreement with Huo Luo!"
The crown prince was satisfied, and asked again: "Where are the weapons?"
Another staff member said: "This is actually the easiest. I have not fought for many years, and the weapons in the arsenal have rusted and damaged. No one will be suspicious when they are thrown out. We have already put people in the position of stewards of the arsenal. , when the time comes, it will be just a few written documents, saying that it is 'scrap copper and iron', and the things can be transported out of the capital smoothly."
The prince took a deep breath and asked, "Is Tugu Khan really that powerful?"
The staff said: "Before Huo Luo came, Tugu Khan had just wiped out his elder brother's tribe. After that, there were only three or two uncles and brothers. No one could stop him."
The prince sighed: "I really can't wait."
Everyone knew what the prince meant, and hoped that Tugu Khan would calm down the northern border as soon as possible, so that the Shen family army could be dealt with. Maybe it was because they had waited outside for so long just now, and everyone was a little flustered.
An aide said: "When Huo Luo entered and left the city, the second and third sons of the Zhenbei Hou family, the eldest son Zhang of the Pingyuan Hou family, and a distant relative all watched from the restaurant, as if full of ridicule towards Huo Luo. "
The prince frowned: "Are they getting together again? I heard that Mr. Zhang has been hiding for a while, and has recently shown up frequently?"
The staff said: "Yes, he went to the south for more than half a year, and came back at the end of the year, and now he goes to poetry gatherings, drinks with people, and even plays chess with the fourth prince in Guanyi Pavilion."
The prince became angry: "Does he mean that he is not afraid anymore?!"
An aide whispered: "People in the palace are rumored that the emperor does not want the fourth princess to marry the eldest son of Marquis Ping Yuan."
The prince gritted his teeth: "It seems that the fourth child told him! How dare the fourth child gossip?!"
Originally, the prince wanted some people to really find a marriage for the fourth princess, but now that Zhang Yunming became active again, he couldn't accept it! Zhang Yunming felt that it couldn't be so cheap. Moreover, the fourth prince actually spread the news to the outside, which is obviously gloating: let others know that the person he chose for the fourth princess was rejected by the emperor!
The prince blurted out: "I still want to marry the fourth princess to him!"
Several other people in the room were silent for a while, looking at the prince's gloomy face, one person whispered: "This is a good idea, Pingyuanhou's mansion is really rich, Li is the eldest daughter of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that the original dowry There are tens of millions of money alone, and there are countless business shops in the capital and farms around the capital. If the fourth princess really marries, she will be the eldest daughter-in-law. In the future, the wealth of the Marquis of Pingyuan will be... "
The prince was overjoyed, he felt that he was far-sighted, but he hesitated and said: "How should I convince my father?"
One of the staff said: "Can we do the plan of 'the deal is done'? Find an opportunity to let the fourth princess...Of course, this will make the fourth princess a little bit wronged."
The prince nodded slightly: "Think of a few ways and tell me."
----------------------------------------
Shen Jian has already decided to leave Beijing in early June, and before that, he has to do all the big and small things Shen Wen ordered. One of them is to talk to the old lady about Su Wanniang.
Shen Jian found an opportunity to help the old lady walk along the path to the backyard, and when she arrived at the small courtyard where the old lady lived, the old lady said, "Follow me and come to the Bodhisattva to ask for blessings." The two went to the Buddhist hall , Shen Jian really knelt down, and the old lady came to the door and asked people to leave, as if she wanted Shen Jian to pray well. Shen Jian bowed before standing up, approached the old lady, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, after I leave, you have to listen to my little sister."
The old lady was startled, and Shen Jian immediately said: "Grandmother, don't ask me why, and don't show the difference. Whatever she asks you to do in the future, you must do it. Only in this way can we keep our home."
The old lady didn't dare not listen to Shen Jian's words. The last time when Shen Jian made a move, more than a hundred people were killed. Not long after, the queen who poisoned Shen Wen in public was deposed. The old lady just muttered incredulously: "Is it already this bad?"
Shen Jian nodded: "Yes, it's already very bad, the catastrophe has already happened, the crown prince wants my house full."
The old lady looked at the altar and said in a trembling voice: "I thought it was just talking bad about our family, so that your sisters can't find a good family. In the future, I will reduce the military salary of Lord Hou or something..."
Shen Jian sighed: "Grandmother, don't think too much, just listen to me. Mrs. Yan already knows that she will cooperate with my little sister."
The old lady was still in shock: "Our Shen family has never done anything to offend our conscience..." There were tears in her old eyes and a sad face.
Shen Jian said in a low voice: "It's because he can't tolerate us." The old lady looked up at Shen Jian suspiciously, and Shen Jian sneered: "If we didn't approach him servilely, they would think that we have let him down."
The tears in the old lady's eyes slowly disappeared: "They want to harm Qiang'er just to teach us a lesson, and we didn't hold on to it..."
Seeing that people outside wanted to come, Shen Jian hurriedly said in a low voice: "There are a lot of eyeliners in the mansion. What we know now is only Wang Zhi's in the yard of Qian and his younger sister..."
The old lady was startled: "Qian Shi?!"
Shen Jian hurriedly said: "Grandmother be careful, don't show it to her, don't make too much face."
The old lady frowned: "I used to always find fault with her, and from now on I won't stand out even if I don't like her."
Shen Jian said again: "Grandmother must never tell my mother about this."
The old lady nodded: "I understand, she was brought up by Mrs. Qian, and she still can't hide what's on her mind. If she knew, Mrs. Qian would definitely be able to see it. How could it be like this! Decades of affection..."
Shen Jian didn't have time to make the old lady feel emotional, so he whispered: "Also, my sister will ask my mother to recognize Su Wanniang as a righteous daughter. You have to watch it. If my mother agrees, you don't agree. If my mother doesn't agree, you don't agree." You must agree. This matter must be pending, you cannot admit it, and you cannot deny it."
The old lady nodded slowly, and whispered, "You are setting up a cover."
When the person who took care of the old lady came to the door, Shen Jian saluted the old lady: "Grandma, when grandson is not at home, grandma, take care."
The old lady nodded and said: "Don't worry about your family, you stay at the border and help your father and brother."
Shen Jian saluted, the old lady watched him go, and then sat down in front of the Buddhist altar, dazed, dazed for a long time, and then began to stammer the chanting, the people beside thought that the old lady was sad for Shen Jian's departure, and didn't Doubt what.
