Chapter 76： Seek food

Shen Wen said that after the New Year, he would start drawing weapons. Zhang Yunzheng took Zhang Yunming to the courtyard every night after the Lantern Festival, but he waited until the night of the 21st of the first lunar month before Shen Wen arrived at the courtyard again.

When they arrived, the lights were already on in the house, and Shen Wen was coming and going frequently now, and he was about to use this place as his own place.

Since talking with Su Wanniang, Shen Wen has figured out many things. She used to be too focused on planning and completely ignored life itself. Now I suddenly felt that she was back, not just for revenge, if she put all her body and mind on revenge for the prince, it would be a waste of a great life. She should also live a good life: be kind to her relatives, give up the narrowness of the previous life, be grateful for everything that life has given, and try to taste the colorfulness of life.

She got here first this time, picked up the flint by the lampstand and lit the lamp. She remembered that Zhang Yunzheng said that the guard here was an old couple who would never come back at all, so she was very free.

There was no one in the room for nearly a month, and there was no ashes on the furniture, but Shen Wen was bored, so she picked up the duster erected next to the Eight Treasure Shelves and dusted it with her hands. It was the first time she was doing housework in her life.

Perhaps the selected furniture is fine wood. There is a faint fragrance in the room. Shen Wen and Zhang Yunzheng made a model of the lost city here. They were nervous and focused at the time. Looking back, they know that time flies so fast. The two had not seen each other during the Chinese New Year. Shen Wen heard a voice in the yard, and guessed that it was Zhang Yunzheng and the others, and was very happy for a while.

Zhang Yunzheng pushed the door open, the door was bolted, he patted the door, and Shen Wen asked, "Who is it?"

Zhang Yunzheng said evilly: "Who else can there be!"

Shen Wen came over and opened the door, smiling sweetly at the two people: "You are here..."

After hearing Shen Wen's accent, both Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng had a shiver, and Zhang Yunzheng said in an aura: "You can't speak well!"

…Well, this man has a bad temper… But who can change other people’s parents, they named him "Yun Zheng", which sounds like "Allow disputes". Why don't you accuse him for not being able to tolerate him, only Accept...Shen Wen smiled and dragged his voice and said, "That's how I talk..." Zhang Yunzheng gave her a fierce look. The gaze was like a sharp sword, pierced straight into her smile, making her suddenly ashamed. Shen Wen was taken aback, the smile on her face disappeared, and she instantly understood what Zhang Yunzheng meant: He didn't need her tolerance at all! He doesn't need her perfunctory!

Shen Wen straightened his chest, immediately rounded his small eyes, looked back, and said loudly: "...what's the matter!" As soon as this word came out, Shen Wen felt relieved! Zhang Yunzheng is the only person in the world who doesn't need her to make false claims. In front of him, she can be unscrupulous and express her dissatisfaction and protest 100%, because this is exactly what he asked for.

Zhang Yunming laughed: "You have changed your face again!" But Zhang Yunzheng seemed very satisfied, his nose turned upside down, and he didn't even look at Shen Wendi and Zhang Yunming entering the house. Shen Wen confirmed his judgement just now: this guy is arrogant and confident, he is domineering and demanding the most essential feedback, he does not accept any falsehood.

Shen Wen smiled, and suddenly felt that Zhang Yunzheng was a very good person. He used to bother him in the past, probably because subconsciously he always wanted him to obey him. Once he gave up his inner demands, the world suddenly became vast. Even if Zhang Yunzheng is a passerby to her, she is also a unique person. There is no second Zhang Yunzheng in the world. He can allow others to be his true self, and use his own unscrupulous to inspire others to be unrestrained. No wonder Zhang Yunming said that his brother is kind-hearted or something...

She blinked and looked at Zhang Yunzheng as if she had met Zhang Yunzheng for the first time. Zhang Yunzheng's sword eyebrows and eyes, frowned slightly, but the corners of his lips are slightly raised, his eyes are serious and persistent, and the whole person is glowing with the pure masculinity of a young man...Shen Wen sighs, if it were not for her thousand years of knowledge, Zhang Yunzheng would be far better than her. Smart and keen, serious and capable...

When Zhang Yunming saw Shen Wen's gaze at Zhang Yunzheng, he pointed to the duster in Shen Wen's hand and said, "Wow, Miss Shen Er can dust it."

Shen Wen waved the duster at him: "I can still hit someone else's hands! Isn't Mr. Zhang going to give it a try?"

When Zhang Yunzheng heard the two of them talk and laugh, he frowned and sat down on the chair, and immediately said the fourth prince in advance: "In Guanyi Pavilion, the fourth prince said that Su Wanniang's beautiful voice will probably reach the palace."

Zhang Yunming said: "Oh, I also heard these days that a woman in Beihou Mansion in the town of Beihou on the night of the Lantern Festival was so beautiful that everyone was chasing the crowd."

Shen Wen put down the duster and clapped her hands, and said: "Sister Wanniang came back and said that many people were watching them on the street, and they came back quickly. She was so humble." Su Wanniang also regretted that she wore new clothes for a long time. The face, probably because he didn't see the Fourth Prince, but let others see it. These days Su Wanniang's hair has covered most of her face again.

Zhang Yunming asked: "You won't let her enter the palace?"

Shen Wen glanced at him: "Does this still need to be said, of course not."

Zhang Yunzheng looked triumphant: "I knew it! Then what do you do?"

Shen Wen waved: "It's very simple. Let the prince help stop it."

Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng were both stunned, and Zhang Yunming asked: "How to stop it?"

Shen Wen smiled and said: "Didn't I say anything about the prince, just say a few words. He is afraid of too many things, and he will be very obedient."

Zhang Yunming frowned and said, "That's a sinister villain, not a timid person."

Shen Wen said: "Many people become sinister and vicious just because they are timid."

Zhang Yunming thought for a while, smiled, nodded and said, "Don't tell me, it's really like this. It's because of being timid and fearful that I care about protecting myself, lest I get hurt."

Shen Wen said: "In fact, it is useless to be afraid. The more you are afraid, the more often you will come."

Zhang Yunming is unhappy: "This is not the first month, can you not say such unlucky words"

Shen Wen asked in a low voice, "Superstitious Young Master Zhang, are you afraid of Bei Rong in the future?"

Zhang Yunzheng smiled and said, "That may not be true. He is probably afraid of marrying the fourth princess."

Zhang Yunming frowned at Zhang Yunzheng: "You want to fight again!"

Shen Wen laughed and pointed to Zhang Yunming and said: "You are indeed afraid of marrying the fourth princess!"

Zhang Yunming sighed helplessly: "A good man does not fight with a woman. I am not afraid of being a real swordsman on the battlefield. I can deal with a woman, and there is a villain like the prince behind. I really don't know what to do."

Zhang Yunzheng was a little surprised: "You, a big liar, have times when you don't know what to do"

Zhang Yunming was a little depressed: "You don't understand, the woman is stubborn, but there are so many things! For example, when she walked towards you, suddenly her skirt was torn, and she was surrounded by her people, saying that you did something to her. Or, when you are at the water’s edge, she fell into the water with a'puff', even if you didn’t push it, she fell into the water in front of you. You can’t save it or you can’t save the princess. It’s a great sin to see the princess die. Yan. Help, hehe, she is your wife. For example, if you are stuffed with something or not stuffed at all, and you are walking, this thing falls by your side. This thing is the princess’s private property. , Let you have a hundred words! For example, when you are walking, she rushes over from behind and throws you to the ground, or falls beside you..."

Zhang Yunzheng looked at Zhang Yunming disgustingly: "How do you know this?"

Zhang Yunming rolled his eyes and said: "Besides, this is not simply a matter of a woman marrying someone. This is meant to be the master of my Pingyuan Hou Mansion. If I make a mistake, our family will lose its reputation."

Shen Wen smiled and said: "everything is inseparable from its ancestry. There are only a few types of conspiracies in the world. There are not many tricks for women to marry men."

Zhang Yunming was a little uncertain and said: "Tell me which types are there?"

Shen Wen pointed out to Zhang Yunming with a wrench: "First, raw rice is used to make mature rice, which means using an aphrodisiac or something to dedicate yourself to you. Second, framing and framing, that is, what you did to her. Third, people Awe-inspiring words are to let everyone know that something is wrong with you. Fourthly, the family relationship is unstoppable. It is to mobilize your family members to force you, or force your family members to force you to submit, or tell you that you will not marry. Don’t live with her family. Fifth, if you do not follow her, you will die; if you follow her, your high-ranking officials will be generous. Sixth, you must hang yourself in front of your house. …"

Zhang Yunzheng frowned at Shen Wen: "Enough! You know too much!"

Shen Wen snorted to him: "I know nothing about what you are afraid of. I am very proud! It's not mine, I don't want it!" Shen Wen looked very upright because he had said this to Su Wanniang.

Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen angrily and whispered: "Pig!"

Shen Wen blinked puzzledly: "What does this have to do with pigs?"

Zhang Yunming was afraid that the two of them would start exchanging words and sentences again, and interrupted: "This really has nothing to do with pigs! She can't move the people in my family, don't worry about them, aphrodisiac or something is better to prevent. It is this framed and framed, which is more difficult to prevent. ."

Shen Wen pointed his chin and said: "Nowadays, men and women are different. If you want to frame the framing, you have to be certified. It is not so easy. Remember, when you are going, the four princesses will also go. You have to be careful."

Zhang Yunming narrowed his eyes, and Shen Wen smirked at him. Zhang Yunming smiled and asked Shen Wen, "It seems that you have a way to crack it."

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow, "Don't forget what you promised me."

Zhang Yunming said in his heart that, anyway, I have told my father that your third brother wanted to marry my sister. I don’t need to mess with it, so he kept saying: "I won’t forget, I won’t forget, just tell me."

Shen Wen said: "The easiest thing is that Li Daitao is stiff! At that time, where there are four princesses, there will be five princesses."

Zhang Yunming's face was a little red, and he didn't dare to look at Shen Wen. Zhang Yunzheng pushed him: "Don't be so hypocritical, you are secretly happy!" He looked at Shen Wen, "Go on, there are more."

Shen Wen said: "If there are any more, it will lead to disasters. You can find someone who can help you. If you want to find someone they can't kill, you can find a son of the right age in the Changle Hou Mansion, but you can't come and look for it. It shows a trace. In the future, if they dare to really attack you in person..."

Zhang Yunzheng said in an interface: "Whoever starts, he is the ghost!" There is an indisputable sternness in his tone. Shen Wen glanced at Zhang Yunzheng, knowing his temperament, and can only sigh: "Probably it will be like this."

Zhang Yunming carefully grasped Shen Wen's words and nodded slowly: "I probably understand what you mean. I want your third brother to help me." Can't let that kid be idle.

Shen Wen immediately smiled again: "That's okay." As long as he can finally marry your sister, what can I do to help you?

Zhang Yunzheng asked Shen Wen irritably: "Aren't we hitting Fire Luo, why didn't he come to marry the fourth princess"

If in the past, Shen Wen would have rolled his eyes at Zhang Yunzheng or something, took the opportunity to shoot a cold arrow at Zhang Yunzheng, and now only smiled and said: "Where there is such a fast winter, whoever comes out this time will get summer. And, it is fire. Luo Qiu married, and the four princesses might not get married either."

Zhang Yunming frowned: "What do you mean?"

Shen Wen said: "Which emperor easily marries his own daughter Li Chao and Fan, most of the women are court ladies or daughters of noble relatives. There are a few real princesses who are widows or who cannot marry. In my dream, the five princesses were married. , It was because of the plan of the prince, the queen was in charge, and the fifth princess was a soft temper, so she knew crying. Now, the queen was abandoned, and the fourth princess made a noise in front of the emperor, and the emperor probably had to let someone replace it. she was."

Zhang Yunzheng said irritably: "Then we hit Fire Luo and didn't get anything done."

Shen Wen squinted at Zhang Yunzheng: "We won't let the fifth princesses and Fan Fan anymore."

Zhang Yunzheng only thinks that Shen Wen's temper is very good today, and the look of his own is not hostile at all, but it makes people feel a little warm. He coughed and said solemnly: "We have news with the prince." Shen Wen really looked at him intently, Zhang Yunzheng was happy in his heart, and continued: "They have been following several prince's assistants all these time and found one I contacted several cart and horse shops and negotiated prices with two of them. The time was in late March to ship the goods to the north. Another one told his family that he would go out to work for the prince at the end of March, and it would take about half a year to return. In addition, the steward of the Arms Depot has recently drunk with the Prince's people several times."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "It should be the end of March, are the bandits ready?"

Zhang Yunming said: "I have been training soldiers for more than half a year, and Lianghu's boat is also ready."

Shen Wen said: "The robbed grain will be transported to the wine cellar, is there any response there?"

Zhang Yunming replied, "There are all kinds of horses and carts. Master Song came back once before the New Year's Pass, saying that the wine cellar had been built and the first batch of wine had already come out. The surrounding tile kilns built to store wine also burned out wine tanks. Wine cans and wine jars. The second lady of the Yan family and the others go back to celebrate the New Year. They will continue to make wine after the first month."

Shen Wen said: "That's fine. The first time the prince and the others transported grain, they should not have much precautions, so they just grabbed it. Just be careful not to be too professional, and don't show off the skills of a sergeant, which makes people think it is. Really bandits are good."

Zhang Yunming said: "Master Song said that some people were born as bandits before, and this time let them come forward."

Shen Wen said: "Try to hurt people as little as possible. It must be a group of cowardly bandits who happen to rob things. Remember, be very stupid!"

Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "You just want to pretend to be stupid, what if you can't do it"

Shen Wen smiled faintly: "I will burn it before the catastrophe! Never let them transport the grain to Beirong."

Zhang Yunzheng thought for a while, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said, "Okay, this way, it's easier."

Zhang Yunming also nodded and said: "It is indeed."

Shen Wen knew that both of them understood, so he said, "It's time to draw a picture."

Zhang Yunzheng stood up and said, "Enter the secret room."

Zhang Yunming also got busy: "Go together."

Zhang Yunzheng knew that she couldn't be bored in the secret room with Shen Wen in front of his brother, so he led the way into the secret room, lighted the lamp, Shen Wen followed in, and Zhang Yunming blew out the light in the room and entered the secret room.

Three people squeezed in the small secret room, and it was immediately very small. Shen Wen and Zhang Yunzheng stood almost side by side with the book case, and Zhang Yunming stood on the opposite side. Shen Wen spread out a piece of paper, and Zhang Yunzheng said to Zhang Yunming: "Don't just look at it, study ink!"

Zhang Yunming said, "Hey, why do you disrespect your brother so much?" But the inkstone was under his nose, so he had to start studying ink.

Knowing that Zhang Yunzheng would draw it again, Shen Wen drew it scribbledly: "The arc here is 30 degrees, and the arc here is 135 degrees... Uh, we have to find a feng shui compass with scales on it, or make a Semicircle."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "When I see my mother, I have a feng shui compass, and I will bring it next time..."

Zhang Yunming said: "That's the treasure of the mother's town house, you have to tell her."

Zhang Yunzheng waved to Zhang Yunming: "Go, leave it alone, as soon as I say my mother will give me...what does this mean" He pointed to a point on the map.

Shen Wen replied: "The two pieces of wood here have to be so mated... I will draw you a detailed picture... First cut the wood like this... the other piece is like this..."...

Zhang Yunming looked at the two people asking and answering, and felt that it was not pleasing to the eye! After a while, she finally interrupted intolerably: "Miss Shen Er will draw it first, and then we will talk about whether it will work or not. Let's go out first! Let her concentrate on painting here."

Zhang Yunzheng was unhappy: "Why I understand now that I can paint part of it during the day without waiting for her to finish..."

Zhang Yunming insisted: "No! I want to play chess with you!"

Zhang Yunzheng opened his eyes wide: "Why do you suddenly want to play chess"

Zhang Yunming stubbornly said: "I just thought about it! That time the four princes did not want to play chess with me, I was very disappointed! I want to play chess with you!"

Zhang Yunzheng shook his head and said, "But I don't want to play chess now."

Zhang Yunming used his assassin: "Then I don't care! How many times in the past I didn't want to, you forced me to play. Now it's your turn!" He remembered bitterly that Zhang Yunzheng was haunting himself to play chess, who could have thought of the current turnaround , I have today too!

Shen Wen also knew what Zhang Yunming meant, so he nodded and said, "I'll paint first. Let's go outside, and help look at the door."

Zhang Yunzheng said to Zhang Yunming with a full face of displeasure: "Well, just one set!" The same as Zhang Yunming's answer to him in the past.

Zhang Yunming secretly said "retribution" and pulled Zhang Yunzheng out of the secret room and said: "One game is one game! I'm not afraid of you!" According to Zhang Yunzheng's temperament, this game lasted most of the night! Shen Wen must go in the middle.

The two of them went to the outhouse, lighted the lights again, and set the chessboard.

Zhang Yunming asked Zhang Yunzheng: "The four princes are looking for you to play chess, have you resorted to the trick of harassment"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "What does it mean to be serious! Even though defeat is glorious, you won't."

Zhang Yunming hummed: "That's called stalking."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Whoever wants to listen to you, I can do whatever I want!"...

The two began to play chess, and they quarreled while playing. Shen Wen now knows that this is the way for two people to get along. There is intimacy that outsiders can’t appreciate, and he doesn’t care about it. Just listen to Zhang Yunzheng at the door saying: "Four changes."

Shen Wen woke up abruptly, put down the pen, and saw Zhang Yunzheng's cheerful look. She wondered: "Why are you so happy?"

Zhang Yunzheng came over to wash the pen and said, "I won! Only half an hour!"

Zhang Yunming said loudly: "I let you do it!"

Zhang Yunzheng turned his head and said, "No! You are not paying attention yourself." Folded Shen Wen's sketch and put it away.

Zhang Yunming replied: "Isn't that just for you"...

Shen Wen shook his hand and said, "Farewell again!" Ignoring the two brothers, he went out and went home.

Zhang Yunzheng cleaned up the secret room and came out, glanced at the door, and said, "It's not always good to say goodbye, it's impolite!" He looked at the scattered chessboard beside Zhang Yunming, "Aren't you lazy to clean up?"

Zhang Yunming thought that just now Zhang Yunzheng could concentrate so much, and seemed not to be distracted by Miss Shen Er, so he said lightly: "What to pack and use next time."

Zhang Yunzheng came over to clean up the chessboard: "Then you have to put it away first!"

Zhang Yunming waved his hand: "I want to do important things. I'll take care of the food robbery, but I have to borrow some people from you."

Zhang Yunzheng put the chess set on the shelf and replied, "Don't think about it! You did it last time, I'll go this time!"

Zhang Yunming looked at Zhang Yunzheng suspiciously: "Are you alright, kid's house..."

Zhang Yunzheng punched it, and Zhang Yunming shouted: "Why don't you say "want to fight"! It's really useless!"

The two of them fought around, blew the lights, and returned home together.

Shen Wen went back and whispered threats to Su Wanniang about her beauty. The two discussed the next day's performance before going to sleep.

The next day, Shen Wen went to Shen Xiang's yard after getting up. He didn't see Shen Xiang who was practicing martial arts, but chatted with a few maids and talked about the crowded streets on the night of the Lantern Festival.

Back in the yard, seeing "Wang Zhi's" and several maids were there, Shen Wen made a fuss and said to Su Wanniang: "Sister Wanniang, have you heard that you were on the street that night, and many people saw you and said You are so beautiful to be a maid in the palace!"

Su Wanniang said embarrassedly: "Miss, what are you talking about? The palace is so easy to enter."

Shen Wen said loudly: "Of course! Now there is no queen in the emperor, so I have to choose a queen anyway. Sister Wanniang might be a queen!"

Su Wanniang hurriedly shook her hand and said, "I am the daughter of a criminal officer, how can I be a queen?"

Shen Wen frowned: "Can't the daughter of a criminal enter the palace?"

Su Wanniang sighed: "I didn't accompany you into the palace that year because of this."

Shen Wen said innocently: "But Sister Wanniang looks so good-looking. As long as the emperor has a look, the emperor may like Sister Wanniang. Then look up the case of Sister Wanniang's father. Maybe, Sister Wanniang will do. If you are not the daughter of an official, you can enter the palace."

Su Wanniang smiled and said, "If that's the case, I won't forget you, Miss."

Shen Wen clapped his hands: "Of course, if Sister Wanniang enters the palace, I will go to Sister Wanniang to play!"

"Wang Zhi's family" was full of jealousy: It was also the maid, Su Wanniang came out of the brothel, and now she wants to enter the palace! Dream it!

Two days later, the dialogue between Shen Wen and Su Wanniang was conveyed to the East Palace.

----------------------------------

In fact, the fourth prince’s prediction of the prince this time was not entirely correct. The prince’s recent thoughts were not on the beauty, but on Chu Rong.

After he met Chu Rong that time, he traveled around in and out of the East Palace, but he never saw Chu Rong again. In the end, a staff member found the roster of the court ladies and found Chu Rong. She is a woman who has been in the palace for ten years, twenty-five, at an age that can be released from the palace. The time the prince saw her was the day before she was leaving the palace. Probably to replace a palace lady who was ill at the time, and temporarily asked her to lift the curtain of the palace for the prince. She left the next day. The address on the roster is hundreds of miles to the north.

The prince then asked an assistant to Chu Rong's hometown to find her to see if she was married, and if not, he would take her back to the capital.

The prince didn't know why he had to spend so much trouble. Chu Rong was the most unremarkable woman he had ever seen, and the princess with a small face was more prettier than her. Moreover, the contact between the two people did not even last for a minute, and the prince stubbornly wanted to see her again. How many months have passed, instead of weakening this idea, it has grown stronger and stronger, like a seed that sprouted in my heart and began to grow roots.

After another three months, the staff member came back and said that she had found Chu Rong's house. Her parents had just made a marriage appointment for her to fill the house for someone. After hearing the prince's request, he withdrew again, and let Chu Rong return to the capital with his staff. The staff found a private house for Chu Rong and settled it down.

When people arrived in the capital, the prince began to worry about gains and losses again: after all, I just met in a hurry, and if I see myself again, will I be disappointed? I retired my relatives and my daughter went back again. Will he come and make a fuss about finding a woman outside the palace and pass it out. Will the Lu family be dissatisfied...

Finally, the prince decided that if he did not like it, Chu Rong must have deceived his feelings in the first place! Let Chu Rong be poisoned to death, and only told her family that she died of illness in the capital. No one will find out if you don't know it. I have never forgotten her for so many months, and I have overcome all the women with the depth of love. Even if I killed her, I didn't treat her wrongly.

With no worries, the prince took the opportunity of leaving the palace to the small courtyard where Chu Rong lived. When he saw Chu Rong, the prince knew that he had done nothing wrong in taking Chu Rong.

Chu Rong greeted him, smiled and saluted the prince in the courtyard, and a thin wrinkle appeared at the corner of his eyes. But her smile was indeed as gentle and kind as he remembered, without any attempt mixed in.

The prince waved his hand and signaled that the others were staying outside and entered the house by himself.

The furniture in the room is simple, there are no carvings on the tables and chairs, and there is an embroidery frame next to the table, on which is a tacky flower branch that is embroidered halfway, and it looks like a spring or something.

The crown prince sat down, Chu Rong did not come to him sweetly to flatter him like all other women in the past, but went to pour him tea without saying anything, smiled and put it beside him.

Suddenly, the prince felt very tired, and was too lazy to speak for a while, cast a look at the embroidery frame, Chu Rong sat down obediently, and continued to embroider her flowers.

When the two entered the house, they didn't say a word. The prince drank tea in silence, watching Chu Rong in a daze at embroidering. The corners of Chu Rong's mouth were cocked, as if he was smiling all the time. Behind her, there was an ordinary people's New Year picture hanging on the wall, and a big fat boy was riding on a big red fish. The window was covered with rough paper, which had turned yellow, and the light in the room was soft...Suddenly, a burst of warmth flooded the prince’s eyes. He swallowed hard and spitted, and stopped his sorrow.

When the tea was finished, the prince stood up, and Chu Rong looked up, inserted the needle into the tambour, and got up. The prince did not speak, and without waiting for her to bow, he turned and walked out, out of the courtyard, and got in the car back to the palace. He felt as if he had a good night's sleep, and he was comfortable. There has never been a woman who makes him feel so happy without going to bed. He decided to sit down with Chu Rong when he was free in the future to watch her embroider and drink a cup of tea.

As soon as he returned to the palace, the staff told him the news of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion: "Su Wanniang went to the Lantern Market at night for the Lantern Festival. The people saw her beauty, but the crowds kept watching. The streets were blocked for a while, and Su Wanniang's stunning name spread overnight. In Beijing, many people said that she should enter the palace. Su Wanniang and Miss Shen Er also heard this rumor, and they were very happy. Su Wanniang was a little worried that she was the daughter of a prisoner. Miss Shen Er said that if the emperor could see Su Wanniang, maybe Just because of her beauty, she investigated her father's case and cleansed her reputation so that she could be admitted to the palace..."

The prince interrupted: "Absolutely not!"

An staff member whispered: "We understand." The case of her father, Su Changting, would involve the prince. If the emperor were to know that the prince had placed people in the household department so early, it was still an important position in the gold department, what would the emperor think about this matter must not be passed to the emperor's ears!

The prince said: "Look for someone to say hello to Grandpa's grandfather next to the emperor."

Someone was busy, and the prince asked: "How are the arrangements for the transportation of grain?"

One person replied: "The carts, horses, etc. have been contacted. On March 28, the grains and iron objects raised from all over the country will be gathered in Yuncheng, three hundred miles away from the capital, and the grain trucks will be transported northward from there. .just…"

The prince frowned: "Just what!"

The staff sighed: "Ironware is nothing, but now is the year of the disaster, and when the winter and spring are not taking place, all places must open warehouses for food. Originally, we would either not give us the food, or only give a half. Now that the price of grain has risen several times more than the price of fire, if we pay for it, it will cost a lot of silver. We originally wanted this batch to raise 200,000 catties, but we got less than 100,000 catties. With the addition of ironware, more than forty mule carts were transported away. The 300,000 catties per year agreed with Bei Rong must be out of stock."

The prince said: “It’s a drought here. It’s definitely a year of rain if they have rain. Grain must be scarcer. Grain is not bad! Those who follow you will explain to them and tell them that the food is all hardships. Don’t think it’s easy!"

The staff also said: "Although it is a business trip, there are famines everywhere and bandits are frequent. It is still necessary to have an **** to accompany you."

The prince waved his hand impatiently: "In famine years, everyone will not ship the goods and go to a **** board. This kind of thing should not be left to my house!"

The staff immediately said: "Yes." No more details with the prince.

A few days later, the emperor who was reading the memorials in the study suddenly asked Sun Gonggong next to him: "I heard that the Lantern Festival night is full of people, watching a beautiful maid in Beihou Mansion."

Grandpa Sun said hurriedly, "Rong Nu and maidservant go to inquire."

The next day, Sun Gonggong whispered to the emperor: “Actually, it was Zhenbeihou’s eldest daughter and two maids walking down the street that day. That Miss Shen, dressed in a red uniform, was called the "Jianmen Tiger Girl" and attracted everyone’s attention. Being crowded around and crowded together, but there are no tens of thousands of people. The Zhenbei Houfu did not like people talking about the eldest lady, so it let out a slogan saying that everyone was looking at the appearance of a maid."

The emperor nodded, and did not question this matter again. He also didn't believe in how beautiful a maid was: if she was really good-looking, this maid would have been taken over, so how could she continue to be a maid?

The prince found out and let go of his heart. But I also thought that I had seen Su Wanniang before, and she had already begun to look beautiful before she grew up, and she must be even more stunning now. By the time Miss Shen Er and Yan, she made a trap by herself and included her in the mansion. Naturally, her maid could not escape. Su Wanniang's beautiful color must also fall into her palm. With this plan, the prince repeatedly ordered people not only not to spread the beauty of Su Wanniang, but also to cover up these rumors as soon as possible, so as not to attract the emperor's attention.

The four princes waited fearfully for more than a month. As expected, there was no rumor about Su Wanniang's beauty in the palace, and neither the emperor nor the prince showed any interest in Su Wanniang.
