As soon as Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang led Shen Wen into the door of the hall, Shen Wen began to cry with her face covered, she was not completely pretending, she had gone through many difficulties and dangers during the year, and she almost didn't return. Here, I am touched when I see my relatives again.
Yang cried too, and said in a loud voice: "I've suffered for you! My son!"
Shen Wen saluted the old lady first, and then saluted the Liu family of the Yang family. After the ceremony, Shen Xiang told the Yang family: “Second sister-in-law wants to continue praying for the second brother in the temple. She said that if the second brother does not return safely from the border, she will not leave the temple.”
While wiping his tears, Yang complained to Mrs. Shen Yan: If it weren't for her bad idea, Shen Wen would need to live in the temple for a year and heard that Yan was not coming back. Yang didn't feel distressed at all, but instead I feel pretty good. Yan's praying in the temple will bring some good reputation to the Zhenbei Houfu, and maybe he can really bless his son. Yang only nodded and said, "Well, that's fine."
Shen Wen looked at the old lady and found that the old lady was obviously much older, her hair was all white, and the wrinkles on her face deepened. She really became an old lady, and Shen Wen's tears shed again. She walked to the old lady and said in a coquettish tone: "Grandma hasn't changed at all, she's a lot younger..."
The old lady laughed tearfully, pulled Shen Wen over, and said in her mouth: "Okay, you'll be fine when you come back, she's really a big girl. What's the big eighteen girl! The fat little girl back then, take a look, How nice it looks now!"
Shen Wen is fifteen years old, with a slender waist and a pretty face, with the tenderness of a girl in his slenderness. She meditated for a few months. Not only did she restore her fair complexion, she also showed a healthy radiance in her skin, and her cheeks were flushed with pale pink.
The Yang laughed and said, "Wen'er! You look so good, and you have to live in the temple that day for your mother!"
Liu said with a smile: "Mother is saying this witty thing now. I don't want to worry about my sister-in-law all this year. For a while, I am afraid that she will not eat well, and for a while she is afraid that she will not wear well."
The old lady said to Yang, "Look, you are not just worrying about it. Look at Wen'er, you are really well-nourished."
Liu curiously said, "Yes, my sister-in-law has grown up, and she is a little beauty."
Shen Wen coyly said: "You guys are laughing at me."
The old lady shook her head and said, "What a joke, Wen'er is really beautiful and gentle, so people will like it when they look at it."
Yang looked at Shen Wen and laughed, unable to move his eyes, and said: "Why is Wen'er so patience? I have to choose one..."
Shen Wen blushed at the thought that he already had a "quasi Langjun", covering his face and said: "Mother! What are you talking about!"
Yang only said that she was shy, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't tell me..." I shouldn't talk about marriage in front of the girl who is not out of the pavilion.
Su Wanniang came up and saw the ceremony. The old lady said, "Thanks to your care this year."
After this journey, Su Wanniang became more stable, and said in a regular tone: "This is what I should do." In her heart, she said to herself, how many things they had experienced, and felt that they were ten years older, but at this time, Shen Wen could actually Acting as a shy girl without a city in front of her family. This kind of deep disguise, I didn't know the depth at all in the past, but now I have realized it, and I have completely accepted it, and I will not be guarded.
After seeing the ceremony, he said a lot of words, Shen Zhuo said: "When we picked up the second lady, we passed by a monk's temple, and the fourth brother ran in and was very happy. The monk inside said that the fourth brother had a problem, so he couldn't speak. If you live in a temple and practice, you may be able to speak."
The Yang family had just picked up a daughter from the temple, and no matter where he wanted to send his youngest son out, he said flatly: "I don't want him to know anything! It's good not to speak! Just stay with me like this."
The old lady frowned and said, "You can't just think of yourself as a mother. If Qiang'er can speak, he will definitely be happy in this life. Isn't it a baby?" The old lady waved to Shen Qiang next to Shen Zhuo, and Shen Qiang smiled. He yelled and ran over and nodded to the old lady. Before Shen Zhuo left, he passed the anger with the old lady. The old lady knew that Shen Qiang had to live outside to learn martial arts. Although she was reluctant to give up, she agreed with him and said, "Qiang'er will live here! With the blessing of the Buddha, after speaking, not only will my grandmother be happy, but your father will be happy too." In these words, not only did he use his identity to suppress the Yang family, but also moved out Zhenbeihou, forcing the Yang family to be uncomfortable. Do not listen.
The Yang was extremely reluctant, but could no longer argue with her mother-in-law, and could only say: "It's winter now, and the Chinese New Year will be in a blink of an eye. Let's go after the New Year." Shen Qiang yelled, Yang's face a little bit. Without a smile, he said to Shen Zhuo angrily: "Go and make arrangements! Don't let your brother suffer."
Shen Zhuo nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll take him there then, and let Laoguan stay with him."
When the two children of the Liu family next to him heard it, Shen Wei called out first: "Then I go and see, can I?" Shen Yu immediately asked, "Can I?"
Yang's thought to find a vent: "What's okay! How old are you guys! Disobedient spanking!"
Shen Wei said: "Mother doesn't beat me..."
Liu's hurriedly hit Shen Wei's ass: "Don't talk back!"
Shen Wei said with a smile: "Mother, it doesn't hurt at all..."
Shen Yu turned around and poked his ass: "Mother! Hit me too! Hit me!"
The people in the room all laughed, and the Yang family eased their expressions and asked Shen Wen and Su Wanniang to go back to the yard for a bath, and then come to the banquet.
Shen Wen and Su Wanniang returned to the yard, Xia Qing and Xia Lan led the maids to salute, and Xia Zi of Wang Zhi's family naturally came in behind. Everyone exchanged greetings again, Su Wanniang did not cry, but Shen Wen shed two more tears before going to change clothes and wash.
The Liu family made the family banquet as rich as possible, even invited string accompaniment, the family got together and had a good meal.
In the next few days, Shen Wen took the time to find the Liu family, quietly told her about Shen Yi's situation, and gave her the carved wooden hairpin that he had brought back from the border, and told her that it was a pair, and the other one was given to her. Shen Yi. Liu did not dare to cry too much for fear of swollen eyes, but only put on a hairpin when he came out the next day, and never changed.
Shen Wen usually spends time with the old lady as much as possible, the old lady is sometimes lost and often in a daze. When Shen Wen saw the old lady's aging face, there was always a kind of sorrow in his heart. She knows that the old lady is always tugging in her heart, but she can't talk about it in detail. She can only say to the old lady repeatedly when there is no one: "Grandma, don't worry, it's all arranged." But she knows it's useless to say that. , Because the old lady only sighed and twirled the prayer beads silently.
Shen Xiang is still practicing martial arts as hard as he did in the past. Every time Shen Wen goes to see her, Shen Xiang will inevitably frown. She was really disappointed with this younger sister, she was so lazy since she was a child, she was extremely ignorant. When she was a child, she offended the prince, and when she grew up, it seemed that she didn't know anything about the embarrassing situation at home. Every time you speak, you are acting like a baby, there is really no way to tell her!
However, Shen Wen didn't seem to notice that Shen Xiang was treating her badly. This day, he asked Shen Xiang what he did in the afternoon and whether he had learned a new martial art.
Shen Xiang said impatiently: "Where do you always learn new martial arts? One trick needs to be practiced thousands of times before it can be used well. The key is to practice! Understand what you have practiced!"
Shen Wen covered his mouth: "It's so tired!"
Shen Xiang took a breath and spit it out again-she gave up! A foolish sister is a foolish sister! Such a useless guy, just find a good family to marry in the future, and you don't need to support her by yourself! Angrily said: "You can't be so afraid of tired after you marry, be careful to be looked down upon by your mother-in-law!"
Shen Wen hummed and said: "My sister doesn't say kiss now, I won't..."
Shen Xiang immediately became anxious: "You don't compare with me! Why didn't you compare when I started martial arts training! I have been lazy and stupid since I was young. If you say kiss, just say kiss! Why are you dragging your feet!"
Shen Wen blinked vigorously: "I don't want to make a kiss either..."
Shen Xiang flushed with anger-you are useless! She gritted her teeth and said: "If you decide to marry, you might find a family that can support our family..."
Shen Wen didn't wait for her to finish, but interrupted with a mysterious expression: "Sister, I heard outside that the three princes will become emperors in the future..."
Shen Xiang said sharply: "What do you know! Don't talk nonsense! It will cause trouble!" You know this is a troublemaker!
Shen Wen said hurriedly: "I only tell my sister... I have never told anyone! Really!"
Shen Xiang stared at Shen Wen: "Don't tell me! Don't tell yourself!"
Shen Wen immediately shivered timidly and said, "I just want to... care about my sister..."
As soon as Shen Xiang pushed Shen Wen, Shen Wen immediately leaned back to express his weakness. Shen Xiang angrily said: "You don't need to care about me! You hurry up to make a kiss! Third brother...Whoever your mother asks you to marry, you will marry. Who!"
Shen Wen wanted to shed some tears, but he blinked his eyes so much that the tears didn't flow. Fortunately, Shen Xiang was in a irritable mood. He didn't look at Shen Wen carefully. Shen Wen read Yanger and said, "Who is the sister married to?"
Shen Xiang said firmly: "I will go to the border in the future and be with my father and brother! No one will marry!"
Shen Wen heard that Shen Xiang didn't want to be a queen, which meant that when the three princes became emperors, she was going to the border gate to be with Zhenbeihou and them. Shen Wen secretly relaxed a little. If so, let the eldest brother and the second brother find an outstanding sergeant. After the three princes ascended the throne, Zhenbeihou begged to retreat and arranged for Shen's army to evacuate. Shen Xiang might be with him. Together, find a good young man in the army.
Shen Wen immediately smiled and said to Shen Xiang sweetly: "My sister is really amazing, I'm going to be a general at the border!" He also clapped his hands on his chest.
Shen Xiang shivered and looked at Shen Wen like a monster: "How old are you! You're fifteen! How can you say that you are not grown up like a five-year-old child!"
Shen Wen pouted: "I haven't gotten to the point yet, so naturally I'm still a child."
Shen Xiang really despised: "You are so embarrassed! People who are ashamed or ashamed want to grow up earlier, so as to share the worries of the family, why do you want to be a child so much"
Shen Wen shook his head: "It's not fun to grow up, I don't think I will grow up!" With that said, Shen Wen himself has a bit of experience-a thousand years of experience, but also pretends to be tender! Su Wanniang was too cold to look up.
Shen Xiang used his finger to poke Shen Wen's head: "Yumu's head! Why don't you get the hang of it!"
Shen Wen yelled, Chun Lu came into the house and asked Shen Xiang with a smile: "What's wrong with the young lady, when the second lady is away, you always read her words and words, but she said so when she came back."
Shen Wen immediately smiled and said to Shen Xiang, "Does my sister miss me?"
Shen Xiang ignored Shen Wen and sighed to Su Wanniang: "You have to teach her something! Don't let her be like a fool!"
Shen Wen pulled his voice and cried out: "I'm not stupid, I'm sensible!"
Su Wanniang said with a dry smile: "Yes, yes, the second lady is very sensible."
Shen Xiang waved to Shen Wen helplessly: "You go back! I don't want to tell you more."
Shen Wen said goodbye aggrievedly, nagging Shen Xiang to Su Wanniang all the way, saying she was ignorant and so on, so that everyone knew that the eldest lady looked down on the second lady.
Maybe it was Yang who heard the news and asked Shen Wen to come to discuss with her about the gift.
Shen Wen has turned fifteen years old, so it is reasonable to go and give a gift. But now it’s winter, in the big winter, how can you wear those wide-sleeved robes smartly and freely? Yang thinks that it will be good in spring, and the spring flowers are blooming. Shen Wen changes clothes and salutes again and again under the bright sun. Only then will we leave good memories, so the Yang family set Shen Wen's ceremony on the sixth day of March in the following year.
She asked Shen Wen what she meant. Shen Wen felt that this long time should be enough for the prince to toss about something, so she agreed and said a lot of good things like "Thank you mother", making Yang feel that this little daughter is docile. Talkative.
When the day was set, the Liu family began to send posts to the prefectures to inform the date of the ceremony, and began to purchase various ceremony supplies for Shen Wen and order dresses.
When Shen Zhuo saw Father Gu again, he told Father Gu about Shen Qiang's arrangements to live in the temple after the new year, and Father Gu naturally informed Ping Yuanhou.
Ping Yuan Hou felt that Zhang Yunzhao should also go to live in the temple and practice martial arts, so that he could develop some courage, but he was really afraid of Li's tears now. When he was young, Li was beautiful and reserved, and he rigorously educates his children, that is, he feels guilty to Zhang Yunzheng, often shed tears, and did not give up in front of other people. But in the past two years, Li's tutor was gone, and he cried and made troubles at every turn, so he had to coax him with good words. Ping Yuan Hou didn’t know that there would be female menopause in later generations. He only felt that it was his two... No, Zhang Yunming was a good one. The main reason was that the second son of the **** drove his precious wife crazy, and once again was far away in his heart. Scolded Zhang Yunzheng a few words. Now that Zhang Yunzhao is going to be sent out, Ping Yuanhou feels a little worried when he thinks of the tears that he has to face. He had to transfer the burden of persuading the Li family to Zhang Yunzhao-let Gu Gonggong tell Zhang Yunzhao about the black fat boy who was going to live in the mountain temple in the next year.
Pingyuan Hou Zheng and Li's were preparing to have lunch, Zhang Yunzhao rushed in and said loudly to others, "Go out, you all go out."
When people saw that Ping Yuanhou had no objection, they all withdrew. Zhang Yunzhao impatiently said to Ping Yuanhou: "Father! My master is going to live outside, I also want to go!"
Li immediately said: "No!"
Zhang Yunzhao called to Li, "Why not! My junior is going to live! On the mountain! I want to go too!"
Li is about to cry: "My son..."
Zhang Yunzhao waved his hands in front of him: "Mother! My junior, younger than me! He's gone! Where do I put my face! I'm eleven years old! Mother! I hit the wall!"
Li cried: "Why do you want to leave too! One by one, all of you leave your mother! Let your mother worry all night, for fear that something will happen to you! Are you worthy of your mother! Woo..."
Zhang Yunzhao ran over to pull Li's arm: "Mother! That's what the eldest brother did wrong! Isn't it that I have never worried my mother!"
Li wiped his tears and nodded: "No, you are a good son of your mother..."
Zhang Yunzhao's eyes widened: "Then it's my turn now! Mother! You always worry about your big brother, you should worry about me too! Otherwise it's too unfair!"
Li cried and laughed, Ping Yuanhou smiled bitterly and sighed, and said to Li, "You just let him go. I have arranged for someone in the temple. I can keep and retreat, and there shouldn't be anything wrong."
Li covered his face with a handkerchief: "You two will **** me off together!"
Hearing this, the two agreed, and they were busy saying a nice thing to Li: "Mother! I will definitely not forget you!" That's strange! "Madam, don't worry, Zhao'er is an older child..." Finally he persuaded Li.
Li couldn't stop Zhang Yunzhao, so Ping Yuanhou could only place a doctor there to prevent Zhang Yunzhao from getting sick.
Zhang Yunzhao knew that he could go out to live in the temple after the new year, and he was so excited to live. He hasn't left the house since he was a child. If he went out to live for a period of time, he would be so happy to be with that black boy... It made him have no thoughts about the new year.
The four princes are also not interested in the approaching New Year, mainly because he has almost forgotten that there is something like the New Year. The books in his room occupies a whole wall, stacked on the ground to a height of one person. After waking up every day, he started to read and take notes after standing up, take a break after lunch, and then read through the law. After dinner, it was the time for him to write articles. Now because he has read more history, he is going to write the book "Conspiracy Theory" first. . This book is very easy to write. There are thousands of years of historical data. He divides the powers into several categories, between the monarch and the ministers, between the ministers; those related to nepotism, those who rely on military power, and those who are related to foreigners... Some patterns are also summarized for the subject of the thirty-six plan, such as knocking the mountain to shake the tiger, killing the chicken and screaming the monkey, knocking on the side, and winding the path...
All sorts of tactics, admired in historical records, are countless. He feels that this book can easily be written into a masterpiece of more than three million words, and it can clearly analyze the ancient and modern tactics and methods. He can see clearly that all the turmoil and disputes over the past thousands of years have not been able to get rid of the word "right". Because power can bring people the resources and backing for survival, people in order to gain power, keep power, steal power, abuse power... really exhausted their scheming and exhausted strategies.
Under the tactics, those thought classics have become readily available tools. As a ruler, when people's obedience and respect are needed, they choose works that emphasize hierarchy and surrender in the culture. But if you want to overthrow the rule, you have to cite scriptures, accuse the incumbents of being inconsistent with morality, and claim that you have mastered the truth of the world... In the final analysis, it is a way of governing people and a trick of coping. The dynasties still cannot escape destruction, and the generations who have been entangled in the struggle for power have not escaped the life of the power...
Perhaps after experiencing life and death, the four princes read the books they had read in the past, but saw a completely different meaning. Many of the words and sentences he once believed in faithfulness made him unbearably sneer at this time. He felt that he could see through the meaning behind the text in the book, and understood all the code words hidden under the literal.
Only when he was lying on the pillow before going to bed, he was allowed to read "Jiangnan Cuisine". He has read this book many times, and now holding it in his hand, he is looking at it, not distinguishing the strokes, but imagining it.
He imagined the streets in the small Jiangnan town mentioned in the book, the shops on both sides of the road, various signs, the wine flags on the bamboo poles... He imagined the colors and shapes of the food, the patterns on the plates, floating in the air The fragrance of... He imagined that one day, just like at the border Yancheng, he could walk along the street with Su Wanniang. It's just that Zhang Yunzheng will definitely lead the way with Shen Wen, and it will definitely not be winter, it should be late spring and early summer. Everyone is wearing a single shirt, and Su Wanniang's sleeves will flutter in the wind, and will stick to his arm. He should also be able to smell the fragrance of Su Wanniang's clothes and the warm wind...
The book in the hands of the fourth prince fell on the bed and fell asleep with a smile. Ding Nai waiter quietly came over to remove the book and turned off the light.
----------------
The old Taoist and the young Taoist once again stood near the Yan's Academy, preparing to encircle Su Chuanya again.
The north wind was bitter, and both of them had their arms folded. From a distance, watching Su Chuanya walked out of a room surrounded by a group of children, the old Taoist urged the little Taoist: "Hurry up! Say hello! Tell him..." He was speechless, they Now living in a Po Taoist temple, I can barely stutter and have no money, so I can't ask Su Chuanya to eat or play or something. Su Chuanya was dead, and the old Taoist horoscopes and the like were useless. The old Daoist pushed the little Daoist with his elbow: "Go! Don't worry, just let him have a meal! Otherwise, you won't eat tonight!"
The little Taoist rubbed his feet reluctantly, and complained: "I didn't have any food to eat at night, and even mentioned that I was more hungry..." He walked slowly in the direction of Su Chuanya.
The old Taoist was looking at with frowning, only to hear a voice beside him: "Old Taoist, here again"
The old Taoist turned his face and saw Shi Helin approaching with a smile, and raised his hand in a salute. The old Taoist hurriedly returned the ceremony and said: "The officials are here too." He came several times. This was the first time he had met Shi Helin.
Shi Helin just heard the urging of the old Taoist priest to the little Taoist, and really couldn't understand why the little Taoist had to come to Su Chuanya. Shi Helin felt that it was not easy for everyone, so he decided to ask the old Taoist priest, and said: "If this Taoist master doesn't bother me for talking too much, can you tell me why you want your boy to get to know my little apprentice"
The old Taoist moved in his heart and smiled and asked: "I just saw that the skeletons of the angelic disciples are wonderful, and there will be adventures in the future. My boy has just entered the world, and it will always do no harm to make more friends. You have obvious shady bird patterns right now, sure. There are so many good people who dare to ask your name and name, who did what they did."
Shi Helin said hurriedly: "I'm just a doctor, whose surname is Shi and Helin."
The old Taoist arched his hands and said: "Where does Shi Langzhong practice medicine? There is a medical hall here."
Shi Helin shook his head and said, "My Shi's medical clinic was originally opened in Beijing. Here I live in a mansion in Yan's Mansion. Sometimes I just show people a doctor without opening a medical clinic."
The old Taoist's heart jumped wildly and asked, "It's a pity, it must be a very famous doctor to open the medical clinic in the capital. How can I go back after I leave?"
Shi Helin nodded and said, "My house should still be there. A junior said to help me look at it."
The veteran Taoist once again followed the temptation: "Where is the poor Dao back to the capital in the future, you can also go to the doctor."
Shi Helin didn't doubt that he had him, so he told about the location of his medical clinic. The old Taoist suppressed his excitement, and asked indifferently, "That little boy is the kid you took when you were in the capital, right?"
Shi Helin nodded and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to take him back to open the clinic. He said he would continue to go to school here and end the exam as soon as possible. I had to stay with him here..."
The old Taoist agreed: "That kid is indeed smart by nature..." I heard the little Taoist say that he was a short-lived person, but now it's all changed.
Shi Helin was full of pride: "That's right, what he learns! For the people in the academy a few days ago, he can almost go to the scholarship examination. If he ends next year, he will be the youngest student in the academy to go to the scholarship examination. I am. Don’t want to force him so much. Don’t get tired. It’s better to wait. He is a courageous child. After reading a few medical books with me in the past, he dared to see others..."
The old Taoist muttered: "This shouldn't be a good thing."
Shi Helin said hurriedly: "Yes, I also told him that he can't talk nonsense. You know, this is how you study medicine. When you first learnt, you dare to treat everything. If you really cure the disease for a few years, then nothing Dare to cure. But my eldest son turned out to be my big apprentice, an alternative genius, he is amazing! He dared to cure if he didn't learn..."
The old Taoist was full of hope, listening to Shi Helin's nagging, Su Chuanya over there said to the little Taoist with erratic eyes in front of him, "What are you doing again?"
The little Taoist priest saw the faint skull shape on Su Chuanya's face again. He really didn't dare to look at it more. He said without confidence: "Come... come... make friends with you..."
The little scholars around Su Chuanya roared: "Who are you, want to meet our big brother first, tell us..."
The little Taoist blushed and stammered: "Say...what to say..."
Several children smiled: "You are a Taoist priest, talk about painting symbols or something!"
The little Taoist priest is even more uncomfortable: "I... I can't remember..."
Su Chuanya frowned: "Go! Carry the next one and come back, clumsy, how can you be with us elites?" The teenagers next to her laughed together.
The little Taoist came back dejectedly, Shi Helin greeted him, took the initiative to pick up the book in Su Chuanya's hand, and asked: "Xiaoya, what is the college doing today?"
The children next to him booed again: "Little Yaya!" "Little Yaya Hehe..."
Su Chuanya almost blurted out to correct them, but remembering that Shen Wen often called him "little dumb", she just raised her head and hummed: "The people who say strange things should not ask me for homework!"
The children next to him immediately said: "Senior Brother Su, ignore him!" "Senior Brother! He is a small tooth!"...
Shi Helin smiled and left with Su Chuanya. The little Taoist said to the old Taoist: "Master, he still ignores me."
The old Taoist’s eyes flashed: “It’s okay. Why didn’t I think that since I couldn’t ask anything from him, I should try to ask from his master! If his master doesn’t say anything, we can still go to the capital where he passed. Inquire about the origin of this young man near the medical hall. He looks a lot like the woman next to the young lady. He must be a sibling. If you know him, you will know who his elder sister is and where, and then you will know the young lady. Where is it from...We will go to the capital when the spring starts!"
The little Daoist breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great, I don't have to go to please him anymore! It's up to you, the master!"
The old Taoist said: "You have to use a guise, so I can take the opportunity to chat with his master."
The little Taoist said: "You always want to instigate me! It's winter, I can't cat in the house and won't come out"
The old Taoist priest looked at him: "You are so old and so lazy, what can you do when you are old, people are lazy!"
The little Taoist was scared: "How come?"
The old Taoist said: "Of course, I'm so lazy that I forget how to eat at the end, and I naturally die.
The little Taoist was happy: "Then I will definitely not die, I will probably never forget to eat if I forget my life..."
The old Taoist slapped the little Taoist's head: "If you use this kind of mind to memorize those spells and symbols, you can't learn anything!" Having said that, he solved the problem, and he was actually very happy. He took the little Taoist back to Po Taoism in the cold wind, and by the way told him some things he had experienced, including many years ago, when he was traveling in the south, he encountered rebels and was **** by thieves. A gang of people went to block arrows. A young general who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, did not order his soldiers to shoot arrows, so he rushed into the battle single-handedly, picked four or five enemy generals, and broke the enemy's formation in a rain of arrows before he took his life. As for his calculation that the young general will be wiped out in the future, he gave the lifesaver a piece of advice to save his child's life to compensate him for his life-saving grace, given that his fate has changed, he doesn't know for sure. Inaccurate, there is no mention.
----------------------
Nearly the end of the year, heavy snow fell everywhere. The imperial court was cheering for the "Sweeping Year of Snow", but in reality, heavy snow has crushed many houses and blocked most of the roads, making the disaster worse. On the other hand, heavy snow has also caused people to be unable to act. Sporadic disturbances have all died down. There are only reports of freezing deaths in various places, and no news of violence or chaos.
The memorial list summed up by the prince and the boxed memorial came to the third prince. Seeing that there was a memorial from Zhenbeihou in the list, the third prince singled out the memorial, and only read the memorial at the border. The others were checked by Lord Ye and Shen Zhuo.
After reading Zhenbeihou’s memorial, the three princes said with some joy to Ye Da Gongzi and Shen Zhuo: "Zhenbeihou said that the snow disaster in Bei Rong was extremely serious this year, with numerous livestock freezing to death, and the number of troops stationed on the border has been reduced. Is it a good thing"
Da Young Master Ye slowly shook his head: "On the surface it looks like a good thing, but it's actually not."
Shen Zhuo also agreed: "You must have heard that Gou Ji jumped over the wall and they were hit by a disaster. If there is no food, people have to rob if they want to survive. Then who will they look for?"
The three princes became vigilant: "Then naturally we need to add a few words to the summary of this memorial, so that the father can increase..." He stopped and sighed: "Now that the father wants to increase the military supplies, there is probably nothing left. After four years of drought, the grain yield is less than one-tenth of the previous level. I heard that the imperial court’s stock of grain is gone, and it must not be able to help the border. The Ministry of Households is in charge of the salary, which is under the jurisdiction of the prince, and the money must be It won't come out."
Young Master Ye also sighed: "How could it be possible that the court alone mobilized people to transport grain to the border before the court, and the court gave salt coupons to the border to pay for grain. People can rely on evidence to transport salt to the south, which will benefit a lot of benefits."
The three princes widened his eyes: "Why don't we do this now"
Mr. Ye shook his head and said, “It’s extremely beneficial to the merchants to act in this way. It is said that the Li family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, had made such a rapid rise in the beginning. Gained huge profits. Merchants selling salt and competing for profits with the court also made many officials lack of money, and naturally they would not support them..."
The third prince cursed: "Now I still think if these are not guaranteed, what is the use of keeping the money"
Da Young Master Ye raised his hand to stop and said: "Unsafe conditions cannot happen, but the loss of welfare is at the moment. No one wants others to share a spoonful of it."
The third prince fell into a chapter: "I hate this kind of thing, and I can't do anything about it!"
Shen Zhuo knew that the three princes were impatient and that he could not count on the imperial court to do anything, so he said: "Regardless of those, you just list this memorial and write some suggestions. Whether the emperor will accept it or whether it can be done, it is not. You take care of it." Isn't it just to create a momentum? In the future, you can say that the three princes are looking forward and looking forward.
The third prince said disdainfully: "With this idle time, it's better to bring in a few people to prepare food and convene the refugees."
Grandpa Ye hummed to the third princes: "Without the emperor's will, who would dare to do that, would you go and summon the refugees to rebel?" Grandpa Ye looked at Shen Zhuo, and Shen Zhuo hurriedly raised his hand and said, "I don't dare!"
The third prince pushed the table: "It's boring! You write a few lines, and I pass it in. It's just so empty words, it's boring! I'm going to practice martial arts." Stepped out and walked out.
Da Young Master Ye sighed: "His temper..."
Shen Zhuo said: "It's ok to have you help me stare."
Da Young Master Ye shook his head: "It's okay for me to say that now. Someday he really...I dare not..."
Shen Zhuo cut: "Let's talk about that then! Let's pass the current barrier first."
Young Master Ye felt right, so he first focused on writing comments, and let the court use salt to attract folks to help Northern Xinjiang.
Naturally, he wrote it in vain. The emperor only glanced at this suggestion and pushed it to the prince. The prince wrote "known" and put this memorial into the library along with other memorials.
This incident made the prince happy for a moment, but it was only a moment.
Another year has passed, and the prince feels that the New Year is more difficult than ever. As soon as the annual holiday is over, the staff will go home for the New Year, but the prince wants to call them over to discuss matters, and he dare not convene people before the resumption of the government: can you be busier than the emperor before
In the emperor's harem, there are still hundreds of beautiful women celebrating the New Year lively, and in the prince's east palace, there is a princess and a few remnants of the former east palace harem hiding in the corner, deserted like a dead palace. During the holiday, apart from attending the New Year’s Eve dinner and worshipping the ancestors and his officials, the prince could not stay with the emperor, nor could he leave the palace at will. He could only sit in his study and leave the backyard far away.
The prince could only pass the time by drinking. Alcohol is a good placebo. When you get drunk, your body floats and you feel very comfortable. But when the wine was sober, the warm memories and longings in the wine produced a sharp contrast with the reality of the cold winter, which made the prince's mood extremely bad.
In his unresolved depression, he only wanted to see the pain of the person he hated, such as how to destroy that annoying Miss Shen Er! This time there is no need for those staff to come up with suggestions, they couldn't do anything in the past! He has to figure out a way himself. ...He wants to take this second Miss Shen as a concubine and carry it into the East Palace. This gave the third prince a big faceless! You have wanted to marry Miss Shen as a concubine for so many years, and this palace will marry her sister as a concubine! Hahaha...Who has a princess in the East Palace! These two bitches! Not only did he have a bad breath for many years, but also caused two people who he hated to face each other, and both lose and lose. It is also regarded as killing two birds with one stone. ...It's the princess who recognizes the overall situation and doesn't torture this second Miss Shen to death, he will also kill her in the name of the princess! For the sake of my mother's fourth sister, she must die miserably! Disfigured first! ...
However, how can she be included in the East Palace? It is definitely not possible for the Ming media to marry. It is absolutely impossible for the Zhenbei Houfu to let Miss Shen Er as a concubine, so only a scandal was caused and she had to go! What kind of scandal is in full view, she agreed! Yes, let many people testify, and she agreed to be a concubine for herself! Of course, she would not agree. Unfortunately, the witnesses in this palace would say that she approved...
After the New Year, the Prince had a rare smile on his face. He only needs to find an opportunity to meet with Miss Shen Er and let his own people block others. Only the witnesses chosen by him and Miss Shen Er are present.
The prince remembered the Lantern Festival night many years ago. In order to commemorate the original encounter, he wanted to act like this on the Lantern Festival. It's a pity to inquire and find out that no one will go out to watch the lights in the town of Houfu this year. Miss Shen is already very old, and in order to avoid suspicion, she will not go for a walk in public. Miss Shen Er was too lazy to come back from the temple and did nothing every day. Yang's Liu's is preparing for her gift, and she is not going out anymore.
The prince knew that Miss Shen Er’s ceremony was scheduled for the sixth day of March, so he ordered someone to arrange for him and Miss Shen Er to meet before then! Otherwise, as soon as the ceremony is over, Miss Shen Er will immediately make a marriage appointment, but how can he let Miss Shen Er be married like a famous lady? He wants her to be too talented!
The staff suggested that the prince’s wish could be fulfilled with the help of a flower fair in the capital. The earliest flower fair was in February, the famous Apricot Flower Fair in Jianning Mansion.
