Chapter 66 [Climbing the Cloud Ladder]
When the sun was west, there was also a holy decree that shook everyone's jaws as Shen Qinwei returned to the Shen Mansion.
Before dinner, Qin Cry was picked up by Mrs. Shen from Shen Qinwei's small courtyard, saying that it was to discuss the matter of taking a concubine, although Qin Cry felt abrupt, but she had no eldest brothers and sisters and could only listen to it in person, but she did not expect that fate had been reversed.
"Girl, right?" Father-in-law Lu was personally sent to announce the decree, but it was not that the emperor valued the new county monarch much, but he really felt that it was too unreasonable to seal the former red card for the county lord, even if it was a Qing person, it was enough for people to give guidance, so he sent Father-in-law Lu to announce the decree in person.
The holy decree was heavy, Qin weeping was a little overwhelmed, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
I saw Shen Qinwei said with a smile: "I expect you to be happy, but there is more than this happy event." ”
"You asked for me?" Qin was stunned, then shook her head again, "Why are you doing this for me?"
Qi Caicai knew that he couldn't hide some details from a smart woman like Qin Wai, so he replied, "I work for the same person as you, so I naturally have to take care of it." Although the identity of the jun jun is not of high rank, no one will talk about your identity in the future, and I hope to be able to make a beauty smile. ”
"Childe, how can the concubine have the opportunity to serve the saint, the princess has received the concubine's body and mind, but she will eventually be a wife and concubine, and there is no difference in status. ”
There was a moment of surging in Qin Wai's heart, probably after wandering in the red dust for too long, and at that moment, he returned to the ancient well without waves, a concubine, what is the use of status? Xiao Weiyu's stubborn face inevitably appeared in front of him.
"It's okay, come with me, although identity seems to me to be worthless, but in the eyes of the world, identity is everything, you should see it more clearly than me. Qi Caicai led Qin Cry to the family ancestral hall, and in front of him were Shen Zhiwei and Mrs. Shen.
At this time, even if Qin Cry thinks that he has gone through the world and has practiced a pair of discerning eyes, he can't guess the meaning of the Shen family.
After the ancestral hall was opened, a dusty and quaint atmosphere came to the nostrils, without the red tape when Shen Qinwei was over, Shen Zhiwei coughed twice, and ordered without much expression: "Go in, ask Gonggong Lu to do a verification." ”
"Forgive the concubine for being presumptuous, the prince is ......" Qin Cry couldn't calm down, watching the servant light the candles and incense in the ancestral hall, knowing that it couldn't be the etiquette of the concubine, so he asked out loud.
"Go inside, you'll find out in a moment. ”
Qi Caicai soothed Qin weeping like coaxing a child, Shen Zhiwei had already arrived at the main seat, looked at everyone, signaled the servants to close the door of the ancestral hall, and read aloud:
"The ancestors of the Shen family are on top, and the tenth head of the Shen family, Shen Zhiwei, now recognizes Heyan Junjun as a righteous daughter, and will treat him as his own. He also said: "Madam, Qin Wei, I have recognized the monarch of the county." ”
Mrs. Shen was naturally overjoyed when she knew that Shen Qinwei didn't have to accept Qin Wai, so she simply called Qin and cried, "Daughter." ”
This change made Qin cry dumbfounded, and she was really stunned, and she heard Shen Qin call slightly: "Sister." ”
Shen Zhiwei coughed lightly twice and explained to himself: "Xiao Shen will not come to recognize him if he is sick, what does He Yan Junjun need in the future, even if he speaks to his father, Xiao Shen will have your share." ”
"Thank you, Lord Shen, Mrs., and son. Qin Wai has not forgotten the etiquette, but the person is still wooden, and it is not as light as before.
After that, Shen Zhiwei deliberately left Shen Qinwei to go to the study to discuss in detail, and as soon as he entered the door, Shen Zhiwei couldn't wait to ask: "How did you persuade the saint to agree to this matter? ”
"Father, don't be excited, everything has to be started, I am the first person, and I can also see the importance of the saint. Qi Caicai said haha, what is she going to say about this?
Shen Zhiwei was puzzled, and continued unrelentingly: "You have to hide it from your father. ”
Seeing that things could not be easily perfunctory, Qi Caicai pondered for a moment and said: "Father just believes that the child is on the road of the glorious Shen family." ”
Shen Zhiwei was speechless for a while, and said angrily: "Whatever you want." Later, he said: "You are playing with fire now, as long as the saint or Mrs. Jiang reacts, the Shen family is afraid that it is glorious and hopeless, and they will accompany you to the funeral." Shen Zhiwei had already treated Shen Xiaoshen as a son, and his tone was extremely heavy.
"The child knows that he will not let the Shen family be burdened by me. Qi Caicai silently recited several times in her heart, she clearly knew what she was doing, and the result of things might be different, but it would not exceed expectations too much.
She copied the roster she stole from Mrs. Jiang and copied two copies of the original handwriting, one copy was handed over to the emperor, and the other was given to Mrs. Jiang in exchange for trust, which was originally still in her hands, in order to prepare for emergencies, and when it was handed over to the emperor, this roster was handed over in the name of Qin Wai, since the emperor agreed to Shen Qinwei's strategy, he would not embarrass him in rewarding Qin Wai.
Although this is equivalent to seeking skin with the tiger, as she and Mrs. Jiang said, "wealth and danger are sought", only by breaking the kettle can we get the biggest chips in a short time to win this battle without gunpowder.
The next morning, the emperor was still sitting on the dragon chair, and Gonggong Lu was waiting in front of him, unusually, no matter what Yuan Zhongshu put forward, Jiang Taifu casually refuted it after finding a reason, which was quite targeted. Especially when Yuan Zhongshu proposed to open a trade channel with Persia and strengthen trade exchanges, Jiang Taifu almost jumped to his feet and said that Yuan Zhongshu ordered to lure wolves into the room. What is even more intriguing is the emperor's attitude, even if the two of them in the court have some sabre-rattling meaning, but the emperor does not speak out to stop it, and no one dares to participate.
Until the retreat from the dynasty, he couldn't fight for a reason, and the emperor postponed the discussion and went to seek the Taoist alchemy, leaving behind a confused and resentful Yuan Zhongshu and Jiang Taifu with a sneer.
"What does Master Taifu mean by this?" Yuan Zhongshuling didn't want to argue with Jiang Taifu in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and waited for the others to disperse before he asked in a low voice, "Didn't you tell me about this opening of a trading channel with Persia?
Mrs. Jiang didn't want to have a complete fight with Yuan Zhongshuling, so she only snorted coldly: "Do you have a harrier eagle at home?"
"Isn't it well known that the saint saw Da Lang's excellent performance in the autumn season?" Yuan Zhongshuling replied inexplicably, and said hurriedly: "You don't have anything else, this matter was originally handed over to the gold and silver given to you by General Bosna, why did you come reluctantly? And said that I lured the wolf into the house? If it weren't for the fact that we had some friendship, what if the old man would have fought with you in the court today!"
"The old man is also standing here to listen to your nagging because of the friendship, take what should not be taken, or return it to the original owner as soon as possible. ”
Jiang Taifu seemed to have lost his patience, Yuan Zhongshu Ling was already greedy, and he wanted to get a piece of the pie everywhere when he formed an alliance with the Jiang family, if Shen Qinwei hadn't informed him about it, he wouldn't have wanted to attack the Yuan family in advance.
However, he did not lose his mind, and he was not convinced of Shen Qinwei's words, and the reason why he confronted the Yuan family in front of the emperor was to clear himself. Shen Qinwei is right, since the emperor took Jiang Qianlan and immediately promoted others after demoting his position, I am afraid that it is not just for a thousand taels of silver, the emperor has probably noticed all kinds of changes in the Jiang family. Jiang Taifu felt that it was not impossible to rebel, but now the time was not ripe, and the emperor still had the strength to suppress them if he was caught with the evidence of rebellion, so the first sacrifice would be the Yuan family, Yuan Shangshu made this person insatiable, and it was meaningless to stay for a long time, so it was better to carry the black cauldron for him and die well.
