Chapter 20 The robbery of official silver

"Who is that lady of the prince, haven't you seen it?" Shen Chengru opened a picture scroll, on which was a picture of a lady in palace costumes, "That lady of the prince is Chu Ziyan, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, and her husband is Zhou Shaoning, the prince of the Chengenhou Mansion." Two years ago, there were rumors that Zhou Shizi was suspected of assassinating the emperor and is still at large.

However, in the past two years, the emperor did not blame the people of the Chengen Hou Mansion, and a year ago, he also promoted the wife of the prince to the rank of third-grade widow. This is a signal, indicating that His Majesty does not blame the Chengenhou Mansion. ”

"Could it be because of Mrs. Shizi's maiden family, the Marquis of Anguo's mansion. Or maybe it's because Mrs. Shizi's father and brother have made meritorious contributions, so they want to reward her. ”

Shen Chengru shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then Your Majesty will directly give the Marquis of Anguo Mansion a reward, and will not give the reward to a married girl." ”

"Speaking of this Mrs. Shizi is also quite unlucky, I heard that when she got married, the son of the world was still in very bad health, and many people said that the son of the world would not live to be twenty years old. But after getting married, Shizi's body has improved a lot. So, many of these rumors are not credible. ”

Shen Chengru didn't refute her, just closed the scroll, looked at Shen Yan and said, "But no matter what, how outrageous the message is, let's not worry about the affairs of the Chengenhou Mansion." Of course, including the affairs of the lady and the son. ”

Shen Chengru looked at her daughter's face a little pale, but she was still ruthless, and said, "No matter what that person's identity is now, or what his name is, it's not something you can get close to." ”

"Is it because of identity?"

Shen Chengru sighed and said, "Daughter, you are the daughter of the Shen Mansion, and there is no reason to do someone else's side room." I believe that as a father, I will definitely find you a good son-in-law. The forces involved behind that person are too big and too complicated to be dealt with right now. ”

"Got it, father. It was nothing, and the daughter quit first. ”

"Okay, you can go back to your yard first. ”

"Yes. ”

Shen Chengru watched her daughter Shen Yan walk out of the study, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. If she could have cared more about her lover when she died, she wouldn't have lost it. If you don't lose it, you won't encounter so many people and things. Shen Yan's affairs over the years, he has already found out.

The daughter was lucky, and after she lost it, she was sold to the Marquis of Anguo's mansion as a girl. It was with Chu Ziru, the fourth lady who was a girl in the second room and served the wife of the second room. It's just that after serving for two years, I was tossed into shape. When I was sent back, I had my grandmother check it. There are many wounds on Yan'er's body that are not obvious, some burns, and some whip wounds.

Specifically find the parts that no one pays attention to, and clean up in private, this fourth lady of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion is not a good stubble.

"Someone, bring me the butler. ”

"Yes. The attendant who was guarding the door immediately went and called the butler over.

The housekeeper of the Shen family was a man in his fifties with a smile on his face, and he was round and chubby, like Maitreya.

"Master, the errand you arranged last time, your subordinates have already found out. The housekeeper took out two booklets and opened them for Shen Cheng to look at, "This one is a talent from Jiangnan, and there are some talents from the capital, all of whom are unmarried in the family." The age, family history, and the in-laws in the family are all written. You see which ones are suitable, and then your subordinates will find out more. ”

"And what is the other one?"

"The third young master has also reached the age when it is time to get married, and when the slave inquired, he asked together. There are also daughters in the capital all over the south of the Yangtze River, who have been inquired, and their family backgrounds are appropriate, their ages are appropriate, and their reputations are all on top. ”

"You're very careful. ”

"Sir, you've won the prize. ”

Shen Chengru looked at the booklet behind her, and when she saw the name of Chu Ziru, the fourth lady of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, her eyes suddenly widened. The housekeeper watched the change of his master from the side, and naturally knew that he was interested in this.

"The fourth lady of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, Chu Ziru, has been thirteen years old for a few years. The wind review in the capital is not bad, but what the character is, you still need to explore it carefully. If you are interested,......"

Shen Chengru closed the booklet and said to the housekeeper: "It's her, someone has come to broker this matter before." The family background is also quite equal, you go to check, if there is no major problem, go to someone to talk to the matchmaker. ”

"Yes. The housekeeper didn't quite understand what Shen Chengru meant. The situation of the third young master, others don't know, but he is still very clear. He looks good, has a sweet mouth, can speak well, and is also knowledgeable. It's just that it's a good man, and he doesn't obey the master. Originally, the girl in the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion wrote it by herself.

I really didn't expect my master to fall in love with this person. He originally thought that his master would choose a small family, and even if he knew the young master's situation in the future, he would not dare to speak out.

and Miss Shen Yan's marriage, she is already old and should get married. However, he was kept by the old man's side for two years. Originally, I thought that the old man had taken a fancy to the young man Chu Ning who sent the young lady back, and that was a talent. With his ability to read countless people, it is definitely not a thing in the pool.

However, it wasn't until a month ago, when the old man sent him to find a man of the right age, that he knew that it was impossible for Miss Shen Yan and that Chu Gongzi.

Speaking of this, Chu Ning is actually a close confidant of Su Zhiwei, the minister of the Imperial Mission. Otherwise, why would Master Su leave all the things to him. The housekeeper could often see the prince of Chu entering and leaving the Shen Mansion and discussing things with his master. In the past, when discussing things, I would often call Miss Shen Yan over.

However, I didn't know what was going on, so I suddenly stopped screaming. Even if Miss Shen Yan came to the door of the master's study, someone would stop her from entering.

"The master's behavior this time is a little strange, but it is better to do it. ”

Chu Ning, who had been talked about by the housekeeper for a long time, was sitting in the carriage at this time, discussing things with Chen Wen.

"The rebels have reappeared?"

Chen Wendao: "Yes, master. According to the spies' report, in the Xishan area, several dart trucks transporting official silver have recently been hijacked. ”

"Who dared to rob the official silver?" Chu Ning looked at Chen Wen's face and asked again, "What else is the news?"

Chen Wen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The Holy Decree instructs you to solve the case within half a year, otherwise you will ......."

"Otherwise, what is Your Majesty going to do?"

"Your Majesty will find another husband for Madame. ”

"What?" Chu Ning's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe why his uncle would make such a secret order.

"Does Madame know?"

Chen Wen shook his head and said, "Madam doesn't know yet." ”
