The young businessman walked out of the building with a dark face, and the old steward Cheng Shun led the servant to set up the car at the side door. Shao Shang glared: "Why don't you get in the car at the front door, your daughter-in-law hasn't quit her relationship with the Lou family yet?! Is the Lou family embarrassing you?"

The surrounding house servants bowed their heads and did not dare to come out. Cheng Shun smiled, as if looking at a three-year-old doll who lost his temper by stomping his feet and throwing mud: "Miss, I just came in from the front door."

Shao Shang looked embarrassed, and said loudly: "Then why don't we come in through the front door?!"

—"Because it's so recent from Cheng's house, if you go to the main entrance, you have to go around the East Square, which takes a lot of incense sticks." A familiar and annoying voice came from behind.

Everyone looked back and saw a tall and handsome young man coming, followed by two guards and a child.

Shao Shang didn't want to talk when he saw this person, turned around and walked out the door.

Yuan Shen is tall and has long legs, he caught up to the door in two steps, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I'll take you back to the house."

Shao Shang turned around abruptly and stared at the other party: "I can take the car home, why should you send it!"

"You mother and daughter came in a car, you are leaving now, how will your mother go back later?" Yuan Shen said.

Short business end.

Sang Guo took a step forward and wanted to argue with the master, but Cheng Shun couldn't help her, and only listened to the loyal and honest little maid: "You don't have to worry about the young lady, I just listened to the instructions of the second young lady of the Daolou family. Let's go prepare another car for our lady."

Shaoshang's heart widened, he turned his head and glanced at Yuan Shen, and said arrogantly: "If that's the case, I won't confine you to worry about Mr. Yuan."

At this time, the driver of the Cheng family had been shouting a pair of yellow-maned fat horses and slowly stopped the Anche. Stepping on it, who would have expected Yuan Shen to step onto the carriage again.

"Yuan Gongzi is doing this?!" Shao Shang said loudly while holding Lian Fang's arm.

"I came here today on horseback, and I feel unwell at this time, so please ask the young lady to **** me on the next ride." Yuan Shen bent down at the door of the car, raised his head and smiled as he spoke, Xuyang was like a blanket, The eyebrows are beautiful and elegant, and the light blue brocade deep robe on the body is glowing with silver thread embroidery under the sun.

Sang Guo, who was standing in the back, couldn't help but look at the Yuan family's attendants, his eyes clearly said: Your son looks like a disciple.

The two guards were expressionless and did not say a word; the child was young and couldn't help but say a word like a mosquito: "...My son, it's not like this..." Really Yes, he swears on human hair that his son is usually polite and polite, and his face is as graceful as wearing a mask. I don't know why, as soon as I saw the little lady of the Cheng family, she became like this. Where did the mistake start?

"This is not suitable!" Shaoshang's small face was stern.

Yuan Shenqi said: "What's wrong with this?" After saying that, he got into the carriage.

Sang Guo was not angry, and immediately came forward to reason, this time Cheng Shun finally grabbed her in time, and motioned her not to move with his eyes.

The old steward looked back at the closed door of Lou's house. He had an idea in his heart: Seeing that the cooked Lou's son-in-law was about to fly, shouldn't the Cheng family prepare quickly. What's more, with a large group of people following Anche, what could happen.

Shao Shang took a deep breath as he looked at the swayingly closed carriage door curtain. She suddenly felt that the ethos of this era could be a little more conservative. Don't be like the modern society, where men and women who know each other can take a ride home with a few words!

After boarding the car, Lian Fang was going to follow him to serve, but Yuan Shen was not hypocritical this time, and said directly: "I have something to say to your daughter-in-law, you should step back first." Although he was very kind, he closed the car door indiscriminately in his hand, blocking out the sigh of the little maid outside.

"Young Master Yuan, please pay attention to etiquette." Shaoshang sternly went to the pane on the wall of the cart.

Yuan Shen turned around and said with a smile, "You are such a strange person. Just now, you taught the eldest lady of the Lou family to be like the grandson of a turtle. Now, tell me the etiquette."

Shao Shang was depressed, she knew that this guy heard everything just now. She sighed helplessly, stopped pushing the window, and lowered her voice: "There are some things that you can do in the dark, but you can't do it in the open. It's all over and we'll meet again later."

Yuan Shen raised his eyebrows: "Louyao is about to marry you and He Zhaojun, and you still don't give up on this marriage?"

Shao Shang quickly turned around and argued: "If Ayao knew how humiliating it was for me to marry, he would dare to open his mouth and say yes, I must slap him to death! But he I don't know. He thought that marrying together was like although he only liked a sword, but because of the entanglement of others, he would buy another one."

"Are you that sure?"

"Naturally!" Shaoshang said sternly, "Ayao is such a person, when he saw the poor orphans and widows who were attacked by bandits in Hua County, he took out all the money he had, but I don't know that this windfall will bring disaster to a lonely family. I know in my heart that if Ayao finds out and gets married, I will be embarrassed, he will definitely not agree!"

"But Lou Yao is so ignorant and incompetent, what's the use of such a son-in-law?" Yuan Shen was displeased.

"I can tell him ignorance, as for incompetence..." Shaoshang said sternly, "Whoever is born has great ability. For example, when it comes to Shicai, I say it so bluntly to others The money was not enough, so Ayao went to ask the old officials in the county yali, we worked together again, and finally we settled the people properly. Girl weaving, live in harmony, the children of the two families are playing together, as if they were brothers and sisters." Speaking of this, the girl looked proud.

Yuan Shen's heart moved, he looked at her quietly for a while, and finally suddenly said: "...A son-in-law like Lou Yao can make you feel at ease, right?"

"What do you mean?" Shaoshang was vigilant.

"It doesn't mean anything, just say it casually, don't act like you got a thorn, sit down." Yuan Shen lowered his head, slender jade-white fingers fiddled with the light crimson silk around his waist Jin Yuhuan Pei, who was tied to the rope, said in a low voice, "...To be honest, if you ask me to choose a woman, I would also like to find someone who can make me feel at ease. But in this world, there are a few people who can really make people feel at ease..."

Shao Shang said strangely: "Young Master Yuan is looking for peace of mind, you should find someone who agrees with your heart, to be the clan wife of the Yuan clan, to take care of the clansmen, and to be well-mannered, nothing can be missing. ."

Yuan Shen sighed: "Lou Taipu's wife is also well-known for being virtuous and sophisticated in the capital. Now it seems that she is narrow-minded and pretentious. It's not as bad as you are."

Sing the opposite.

Yuan Shen sighed and said helplessly: "...What kind of dissatisfaction do you have with me? Why do you always meet me with a gun and a stick."

Finally speaking of this, Shaoshang glared at him and said, "You touch your heart, and from the beginning to meet at my banquet, will you do me any good? Apart from threats, it's still threats, At most, they gave me a jar of ointment that is not symptomatic!"

She thought Yuan Shen would be angry, but he thought for a while, and nodded: "What you said makes sense. Well, I'll give you something today."

"Benefits...?" Shaoshang looked suspicious.

"I'm here today to tell you the ins and outs of the He family's affairs." Yuan Shen stretched his arms and gently brushed off his brocade sleeves, "Although Ling Zunlingtang is shrewd and capable, he is away all year round. Many people in the capital may not be clear about the world, so you may do the wrong thing or say the wrong thing, and I have to tell you some things."

Shao Shang looked solemn and sat down honestly.

"Although the Xiao family was trapped by His Majesty back then, they took the initiative to come to surrender, which really saved a huge military disaster, and the court can also free up manpower to clean up others. Therefore, His Majesty I really want to let the Xiao family die well, turn a blind eye to their many arrogant actions, try not to tear their faces, but, but..."

"Instead, he set up a lot of hoops to slowly wear down the power of the Xiao family. This mother told us." Shaoshang interfaced.

Yuan Shen smiled and said word by word, "This marriage with the He family is the first hoop!"

Shao Shang was surprised, his fingers tightly embedded in the robe.

Yuan Shen continued: "General He is a man, I dare not say perfection, but it is true that he is loyal, brave and honest, and not greedy for fame and fortune. His daughter He Zhaojun and Lou Yao were engaged since childhood, and he followed General He with him. He is more and more valued by His Majesty. You think that no one has ever moved He Zhaojun's idea of ​​marriage. If General He is coveted with power, then the prince and the prince suggested it before, why did General He refuse all of them? Going to the He Lou family to retire and marrying He Zhaojun, but in just four months. Does the Xiao family really have such monstrous authority that they can make General He change his ways in just four months?"

Shao Shang clasped his fingers together, and his little knuckles turned white: "...This is actually what Your Majesty meant? I heard that He Zhaojun was very much loved by General He, so he pushed his daughter like this. Into the fire pit?"

"Your Majesty may not have said anything, but General He has followed His Majesty for a long time, how can he not know the Sacred Heart." Yuan Shen smiled bitterly, "What's more, as long as the Xiao family can't disagree, the Xiao family has deep roots. , Xiao Shizi is handsome and suave, this may not be a happy marriage. The ruler and the ministers are united, giving the Xiao family glory and wealth, and winning over the important ministers and beloved daughters, and I just hope that they can gradually influence their father and son."

Shao Shang muttered: "That is to say, General He has not only married his daughter, but also has to monitor his in-laws..." Ma's, this is too loyal and loyal, "And the Xiao family and their sons are pushing the boat smoothly, yes Thinking of drawing General He over there?"

Yuan Shen acquiesced, and his eyes were full of admiration.

"...Even so," Shaoshang shouted angrily, "Could it be that He Zhaojun is the only way to marry Lou Yao?! There are so many princes in the capital, so many princes from powerful families, Ah Yao doesn't stand out very much, so why do you have to focus on him! By the way, General He doesn't know that A Yao has engaged me, if he knows..."

"Even if General He knew, I'm afraid he would still leave the same last words." Yuan Shen broke the illusion coldly.

Shao Shang glared at Yuan Shen angrily.

"After this battle, half of the He family's old man has gone." Yuan Shen continued with a calm expression, "This is just a small matter, it is a pity that all the adult males of the He family will go and wait for the He family. It will take more than ten years for the young master to become an adult and a crown. At present, the whole city praises He's loyalty and bravery, but after more than ten years, people will take tea to cool... This, this..."

Shao Shang's heart is bright. More than ten years later, even if the emperor is not there, it is not a question whether the new emperor can continue to treat He Clan favorably and promote He Xiao Gongzi.

"Choose the son-in-law Lou Yao. First, the Lou Taipu brothers are not ungrateful people. Lou Yao is honest, honest and kind-hearted. He Zhaojun will not be sad in the future. The children, except Lou Yao, are all Confucian and civil servants, in this way, the remains of the He family can be passed on to Young Master He as much as possible."

Shao Shang did not understand: "What does this mean? Does it mean the remaining part of General He?"

The corner of Yuan Shen's mouth showed an intriguing meaning, and said: "Not only the part, but also the manor, the castle, the orphans of the clan... Although the Lou brothers have some small scruples in private, they are generally upright and upright. Don't be greedy. In the future, Lou Yao will be in charge of everything temporarily, and when the young master He grows up, the elder sister and the husband will return it. Yao, is the most 'comprehensive' choice."

"But, but, but..." Shaoshang felt breathless and his eyes were red, "But Ah Yao doesn't like He Zhaojun!"

Seeing her like this, Yuan Shen felt pity in her heart, and said softly, "It's only been a few months since you got engaged, Lou Yao or you will pass by slowly."

Shaoshang bowed his head and said nothing, suddenly said: "In the end, General He also remembers that kindness, otherwise, I don't believe that there is no second heart in the whole city to be upright and admire. He's loyal family is willing to accept He Zhaojun!"

"You're right, the He family is now praised all over the world, and He Zhaojun has a rich dowry. But the people who will covet these, the He family can't trust; the people who don't covet these are also unwilling to come forward. Lou. The family received a great favor from General He back then, but they have not repaid it so far, so it is logical for them to take over."

Shao Shang felt like she was in quicksand, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't get out. She was flustered and angry, but she couldn't vent her grievances, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Yuan Shen's leisurely appearance , blurted out: "... why don't you marry He Zhaojun. You are not greedy, and your family will not swallow up the things of the He family. Your talent, knowledge and appearance are a hundred times better than Ayao. If you open your mouth, He Zhaojun will definitely …”

Before the words were finished, Yuan Shen's expression changed, and he said coldly, "Welcome to a bride like He Zhaojun, you can't be neglected, you can't take it lightly, and in the future, you will have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to help He Zhaojun. Let's get up again. Lord Shang can really look down on it! Hmph, it's getting late today, so I'll say goodbye to Lord Shang, and we won't give it away!"

Shao Shang knew that he had made a mistake, and was driven out of the carriage.

Cheng Shun saw that the car was parked, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, why did you get down?"

Shao Shang didn't react until he saw his old butler, turned around and shouted into the car: "This is my family's security car!"

Yuan Shen rolled over and got out of the car with a hand, took the reins from the guard's hand without a word, straightened his horse neatly, and galloped away.

Shao Shang stood there. It was the first time she discovered that this guy was so athletic.

Seeing this situation, the deputy manager slowly approached Cheng Shun's ear and whispered, "This...I'm afraid it won't work..."

Cheng Shun rolled his eyes at him, and whispered to stop talking about the master's family, but he was really proud: this Young Master Yuan, and he has a show!
