Chapter 23 Count for Whom, Busy for Whom
The Shen family also attached great importance to the Cao family's retreat this time, the female dependents were brought by the eldest lady Feng and the eldest lady Ma, and the male dependents were the eldest master Shen Jizhong and the third master Shen Ji'an with the eldest young master Shen Junhao. Originally, the male dependents arranged for Shen Jizhong to take Shen Junhao with him, but Shen Ji'an wanted to come, Shen Jizhong thought that with the Feng family, Shen Ji'an would not come out with any moths, so he followed.
I never thought that Shen Ji'an didn't have a moth, but he ran into the second prince who didn't know which tendon was wrong to join in the fun, and he also chose a clever time when the two families had just finished retiring from their relationship, which really made people want to avoid it.
Shen Jizhong couldn't help frowning when he heard the voice, I have to say that the time when the second prince came, it was really difficult for people not to doubt his purpose. Turning his head to look at Shen Ji'an, he happened to meet his gaze, seeing Shen Ji'an's dancing eyebrows, Shen Jizhong secretly twitched the corners of his mouth and suddenly felt a little happy, fortunately, the third brother followed, according to Shen Ji'an's unreasonable character and the identity of the county horse linked to the royal family, he really did something that did not hurt the elegance and swept the face of the second prince, and he could also rely on King Ning's face to cover up the past.
The second prince strode in, sat directly on the first place, and said to the saluting crowd: "Let's get up, no need to be polite, Xiao Wang is also a temporary intention today, I heard that Cao Qing and Shen Qing are going to withdraw from their relatives, and they came over with curiosity, and I hope not to be surprised." ”
Shen Ji'an couldn't help but talk while standing behind his eldest brother while getting up, everything that was strange had already come, what else was there to pay attention to.
Seeing that Feng was also standing below, the second prince bowed his hand politely and said, "I didn't think that Mrs. Lu Guo was also here, but Xiao Wang was rude, please take a seat." Then he said to the others, "You all sit down, today is the little king abrupt, I hope you will forgive me." ”
In terms of grade alone, including Mrs. Cao, it is the Feng family's first-class Mrs. Lu Guo who is the highest, seeing the second prince say this, Feng replied with a smile: "Your Highness is polite, but some trivial matters in the family house are annoying Your Highness to come in person, but we are not the ministers." "But you even intervene in the house's house, how idle you are the second prince.
The second prince smiled and said: "Madam is too polite, if Shen Qing is still here, I am afraid that my father will also pay attention to this matter, after all, Shen Qing and Cao Qing are both my rare ministers of the humerus." However, the Shen family has a good way to teach their children, and now Suo Weng and Xi Yuan are also entrusted with important tasks by their fathers, and Jiayu is the husband of my cousin De'an, and he is also Xiao Wang's cousin-in-law. ”
Suo Weng is the word of Shen Jizhong, Xiyuan is the word of Shen Jitang, and Jiayu is Shen Ji'an, it seems that the second prince is really prepared, not only with the Shen family and several masters in the word commensurate with the word, but also with Shen Ji'an's relatives.
Shen Ji'an said with a smile: "Ji'an is flattered, and it would not be an honor for De'an to know that he could be so valued by the second prince. ”
Although King Ning is also a cousin with today's saints, but they are almost out of five suits, it is really not close, if it is counted from the blood of the clan, King Ning is just an ordinary clan, but especially in the clan, only King Ning has the military power in his hands, and no one dares to underestimate it.
I don't know how many people want to have a relationship with King Ning, this person is a well-known fool in Beijing, and if it sounds good, he is a person in temperament, and if it is not good, he is a ploppy and broken person, and he can sit on the street at the gate of the city with a beggar to drink, and if he doesn't like it, he will wave his fist directly on the Jinluan Palace, and even the saint can't take him, usually he turns a blind eye.
It turns out that the only thing King Ning can win over is to spoil his daughter. In addition to the princess in King Ning's mansion, there are many side concubines and concubines, and many sons have been born, but there is only one daughter, De'an, who was born by a concubine in the house, but there is no blessing.
According to De'an's identity, he couldn't seal the county lord, but King Ning didn't care, and rushed directly to the Zongren Ling, who was in charge of the Zongren Mansion, to coerce and lure Sapo, which was simply a full martial arts, and forced the Zongren Order to give the saint a fold, changed De'an's Zongdie to the name of Princess Ning, and then sealed the county lord before stopping.
At that time, I didn't know how many clans and Beijing officials had the idea of fighting De'an, and wanted to get into a relationship with King Ning, but De'an and Shen Ji'an, the third young master of the Shen family, saw the right eye, and what was even more unexpected was that King Ning, who favored his daughter, knew that not only did not stop it, but also asked for marriage, and when the news came out, I don't know how many people beat their chests and sighed.
King Ning is not good at intersecting, since the Shen family and King Ning formed a family, and the second prince is not the first to want to get into a relationship between the Shen family and King Ning.
The second prince also knew that the relationship between the Shen family would not be able to climb for a while, and there were so many families in the capital, so that King Ning could choose the Shen family as his relatives, so he knew that the Shen family was not simple, so he didn't say much and asked: "By the way, I don't know which young master of your family is going to quit the Cao family today?"
Shen Jizhong bowed down and replied: "Wechen is ashamed, it is Wechen's eldest son. After speaking, he motioned for Shen Junhao to step forward.
The second prince saw that the young man who stood up was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was handsome, obviously he came to withdraw from his family, but he had a gentle smile on his face, and he was not ashamed of it, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the Shen family is really a noble family famous for his godson, and he peeps at the leopard in the tube, and only this son can see the excellence of the descendants of the Shen family.
"Good son, Su Weng is modest, just looking at Ling Gongzi's character and appearance, there are few people in the entire Shangjing who can stand out, right?" After the second prince finished speaking, he turned to look at the old lady Cao and asked: "Such a good son, it should be a rare choice for a husband, I don't know why Cao Qing and the Shen family quit their marriage." ”
Old lady Cao immediately bowed down and replied: "If you go back to Your Highness, you will be the granddaughter of the minister, and the son of the Shen family is a Zhilan Yushu with a valuable character.
It's just that since the two families discussed the marriage last year, the minister's granddaughter's face was different, and how many doctors were asked to eat and how many prescriptions were ineffective, only the senior monk of the Great Buddha Temple had to guide her, and sent her to fast for a few days before there was improvement, and the monk bluntly said that if you want to be well, you need to postpone the marriage, and I think I am afraid that I have a good relationship with the eldest son of the Shen family, so I have to risk offending Lord Shen to withdraw from the family, but fortunately, the Shen family understands. ”
Old lady Cao said and gave a slight salute to the Feng family and Shen Jizhong, "Thank you to the Shen family for accepting us regardless of suspicions, this matter is indeed rude to my Cao family, and if the Shen family needs my Cao family in the future, I hope to give orders." ”
Feng Shi turned sideways to avoid it, and said: "Lord Cao is polite, this marriage is not able to get married, why do you need to have a grudge, maybe it is also our brother Hao'er's blessing is weak, and he can't get the wife of the Cao family." ”
The second prince laughed on it, "You don't have to be modest, whether it is the son of the Shen family or the young lady of the Cao family, they are all leaders of the same generation, even if God fails to fulfill the marriage of the two, they must have a good marriage waiting for them." ”
Shen Junhao is still young, this retreat has not been hidden from him throughout the whole process, he also knows the internal reason, hearing that the second prince is like this, he can't help but look up at the second prince, but he doesn't want to face the second prince's eyes full of meaning, and his heart is tight, and he immediately lowers his head.
The second prince saw that Shen Junhao, who had always been steady and self-controlled, was also rude for a while, and the corners of his mouth were secretly smiling, and he said to Shen Jizhong: "Suo Weng, since you have dissolved your marriage with the Cao family today, I don't know what plans you have for the marriage of your eldest son in the future." ”
From the moment the second prince entered the house, Shen Jizhong knew that he couldn't escape this today, but for the sake of the Shen family, he couldn't but become capable, and even if he didn't dare, he would become dare. He bowed his back and said, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, after this incident, Weichen and the others think that it must be inappropriate for the brothers in the family to discuss marriage early, so they decided not to discuss marriage for the time being, and only let them concentrate on learning, and it is not too late to discuss it when their fame is in their bodies." ”
"Oh, but this is a bit of a choking waste, a character like Ling Gongzi, even if he loses a marriage like Miss Sun of the Cao family, he has a good marriage waiting for him. Seeing Shen Jizhong's unmoved appearance, the second prince squinted slightly and decided to be straightforward, "Xiao Wang has a good marriage, so you can think about it." ”
has already said, the second prince does not plan to hide and choke anymore, and continued: "Seeing the eldest son of the Shen family today, it reminds me that a few days ago, the princess mentioned to me that the eldest sister in the family has reached the age of marriage and needs to find a husband. ”
Without waiting for Shen Jizhong to answer, he continued: "It's not that Xiao Wang is boasting, although the eldest sister of my family is from the side concubine, she has been raised by the princess since she was a child. ”
Shen Jizhong knew what the second prince meant, and was about to refuse bluntly, Shen Ji'an said with a smile on the side: "I don't want our brother Hao to have such a good marriage, the second prince is joking, where is there still a grievance for the princess to marry, but it stands to reason that there is already a princess in our family who is married, but I am afraid that the saint may not be willing to let my Shen family receive such a great favor." ”
The second prince also knew that the Shen family would oppose this matter, thinking that he still needed to be coerced, and he didn't want to hear what Shen Ji'an meant, it seemed that the Shen family still had room for it, and immediately said: "Don't worry about this, Xiao Wang has his own way to persuade his father." ”
Shen Jizhong nodded and said: "The second prince is wise, but our brother Hao is different from me, the third uncle who is not a master, I have always been idle, and I don't care much about fame, our brother Hao is the eldest son, if he marries the little county lord, he will have a great transformation in the future, but it is in vain to study hard and aspire to fame." ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the second prince suddenly lit up, and even Shen Jizhong and Feng on the side couldn't help but glance at Shen Ji'an, and Lord Cao's face changed and glanced at everyone in the Shen family, and immediately calmly bowed his head and listened.
The second prince hesitated for a moment and laughed, "Okay, since Jiayu said so, it's not good for me to be a bad guy who breaks people's reputation, even so, I will wait for the purple robe of the eldest son of the Shen family." ”
Dayin's official uniforms are color-differentiated, with purple robes above the third grade, scarlet robes above the fifth grade, and green robes above the ninth grade.
Shen Ji'an responded with a smile: "Borrow the words of the second prince." ”
Although the original purpose was not achieved, there were some unexpected gains, and the second prince did not pursue so much, and only sat for a while and left.
After the second prince left, the Shen family had no intention of staying in the Cao family longer, so they also said goodbye and left.
When he returned to Shou'an Hall, the Ma family had already retreated first, and Shen Jizhong couldn't help but say to Shen Ji'an: "Third brother, how can you say such a thing to the second prince, marrying the little county lord and there is a great creation, what kind of creation can it be, it is nothing more than that the county lord has become a princess, this is not a hint that the second prince is ......"
Shen Ji'an sat down under Shen Jizhong and said: "I'm just delaying for a while, the second prince has always been a little embarrassed, if the eldest brother directly rejects him today, I am afraid that our Shen family will be remembered by him in the future." ”
"Then what's the point in saying that?" Feng Shi was also a little puzzled.
"This matter, you can rest assured, I also knew by accident, as long as this period of time is delayed, after some time, the second prince will not be able to care about us, and what I said, in fact, I am nothing. ”
"The third brother is ...... What do you know?" asked Shen Jizhong uncertainly.
Shen Ji'an poured himself a cup of tea, shrugged and smiled.
Seeing Shen Ji'an like this, in addition to Shen Junhao, who also looked at his third uncle with some curiosity, Feng and Shen Jizhong tacitly changed the topic.
