Chapter 110: Calculation
Shen Qianyuan is a very far-sighted woman, women are always difficult to avoid old age, women in their thirties are much worse than women who have just entered the palace at the age of sixteen or seventeen, no matter what they can do, that is, the mature charm that has been precipitated over the years, but this kind of charm, there are so many people in the palace, which palace concubine does not have. $100 + degrees + search + small + say + net + see + most + new + chapter + section ****
But Shen Qianyuan can still get the emperor's favor, even if her body is getting worse day by day, because she understands the emperor. In recent years, the relationship with the queen mother has been a lot better, especially the queen, the time of saber rattling has long passed, for the queen, the women of the entire harem are her enemies, they are all divided into the emperor, those who have just entered the palace and are ignorant compared with Shen Tianyuan, she would rather the emperor favor this woman who knows the current affairs a little more.
In the final analysis, in the first palace, the imperial concubine has no children, and her health is not good, no matter how big the hatred is, the day by day is also worn out by this numb day.
Hearing the end, Chu Yiyao let out a long sigh, looked at Shen Shixuan, and his eyes were clear, "I'm afraid that for the imperial concubine, the damage of the Juezi soup is still small." "For such an arrogant woman, how can she be convinced by forcing her into the palace by such means and threatening her family.
But she is acting, and she has been acting for more than ten years, and she has deceived herself.
Shen Shixuan's impression of this aunt was only that she hugged herself and laughed when she was a child, "Later, my grandfather forbade us to mention my aunt at home. ”
"The Shen family hasn't asked the imperial concubine for help all these years?" With such a large backer, the Shen family just doesn't take the official career, and with the emperor's favor, they can dominate Jinling.
"When the eldest brother was ten years old, the eldest aunt wanted him to go to Luoyang to study, take the career to become an official, and went to his grandfather to ask his grandfather to write a letter to his aunt to help, that time, my grandfather was angry, and my aunt was almost divorced." If it weren't for the uncle and eldest brother to stop them, the eldest aunt would definitely be divorced from the Shen family that time, "Since then, no one dares to mention anything about my aunt." ”
Chu Yiyao once heard her mother say that the family has shade. Old man Shen's approach is not wrong, the Shen family has always been in business, has never taken the official career, and it is often smooth, and now he can get the help of the imperial concubine, that is, the Shen family's shade, vainly trying to break this and find another way, and the loss of shade will outweigh the loss.
Chu Yiyao suddenly remembered something, raised her head, Shen Shixuan was also looking at her, and said slowly, "There are still six years." "If no miracle happens, in the previous life, a few months before Chu Yiyao left, the imperial concubine died, and Luoyang City was mourned.
"Half a year later, my grandfather also left, and the Shen family after that can't be compared with today." After the death of his grandfather, he was seriously ill in bed, which encouraged the pair of people, perhaps because he felt that he was an eyesore and more pure when he died, I don't know whose idea it was, two years later, Shui Ruoqian ended his life with a bowl of poisoned medicine.
If you want to fight for this Shen family, how can you see it weakened because of the death of the imperial concubine, Chu Yiyao thought, a person suddenly flashed in his mind, and blurted out, "Zhang Ziling!" ”
This person will go to high school next year, and then become an official, and the journey will be smooth, when Chu Yiyao died, Zhang Ziling was already an academician of Hanlin, and the speed of his promotion was staggering.
Shen Shixuan thought of it with her, "You mean to let him help?" ”
Chu Yiyao nodded, a touch of measurement flashed in his eyes, "Now that he is still studying, no one would have expected him to be promoted so quickly, the reason why he was valued by the emperor is not only his talent, but also one very important point, that is, there is no power behind him, unlike these people in Luoyang City, who have a relationship around the east and the west." "He has been the emperor for a long time, and his suspicion is naturally more serious, and for those who are divided into different forces and factions, he still likes to be clean, just like the woman he loves, and he has never had any ideas on him.
"Now is the time to make friends, and the better the relationship, the better the chances of winning in the future." Shen Shixuan took her words, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth. Zhang Ziling is very affectionate, and it can be seen from the fact that he married Yiyao's cousin, and now he is good friends when he has no money, and it will be much easier to ask him for help in the future.
The husband and wife coincided, and Shen Shixuan saw that the sky was already dark, so he leaned into Chu Yiyao's ear and repeated what he had just said.
Chu Yiyao's face suddenly turned red, a pair of beautiful eyes glared at him, and Shen Shixuan showed an innocent look, "I can tell you everything about my aunt, lady, you won't cheat, right?" ”
Chu Yiyao continued to stare at him, and in his mind was the condition he had mentioned to him before he talked about the imperial concubine, "Lady, how about we try the posture of Guanyin sitting on the lotus?" ”……
The next day, someone came to Tianxianglou, Shen Shixuan went out to carefully check the goods with them, and transported everything to Tianxianglou, there was a special person responsible for checking these things, and it was already afternoon after finishing these things.
Chu Yiyao slept lazily, and sent someone to deliver the letter to the place where Xing Zishu lived, and in the evening, Xing Zishu sent someone to pick them up and go to the house to catch up on the old days.
Mrs. Zhang's house for her son in Luoyang is very good, although the place is not big, but it is all available, after getting out of the carriage, Xing Zishu personally waited for them at the door, and when she saw Chu Yiyao, her eyes were moist with joy.
"I miss me!" Xing Zishu wiped her tears embarrassedly, took them to the side hall, and grabbed Chu Yiyao's hand and didn't let go, "I haven't been back for two years, and my father and mother came over during the New Year, for fear of affecting Xianggong's study, I almost forgot what my hometown was like." ”
The taste of being uprooted from home is always uncomfortable, Chu Yiyao saw that her face was good, and she thought that Zhang Ziling should not be bad for her cousin.
"In a blink of an eye, you are also married, at that time, Zi Yu and I talked about the second young master of the Shen family, but I didn't expect you to really marry him." Xing Zishu finally saw her once, and she couldn't stop when the conversation box opened, Chu Yiyao looked at her with a smile on her face, and quipped, "You also know this?" ”
Xing Zishu pinched her cheek, "If it weren't for you, how could I be in such a hurry to find you." ”
Chu Yiyao smiled and looked at Shen Shixuan, who was on the other side, and said to Xing Zishu, "Cousin, you guys are doing well here. ”
Xing Zishu sighed slightly, "I wasn't used to it when I first came, Luoyang is different from that when I first came, whether it is food or use, it is different from that, and then I became pregnant with Nuan'er, what to eat and vomit, your brother-in-law came back from the academy, and he went all over the street to find me hometown food." Saying that Xing Zishu was a little embarrassed, she was already unaccustomed to the water and soil, and she had no appetite after she was pregnant with a child.
As he was talking, a glutinous mother sounded at the door, and a little girl dressed in pink appeared there, led by a nurse with one hand, and was trying to lift her leg to cross the threshold.
As soon as she walked into the room, she broke free from the person holding her and ran towards Xing Zishu, holding Xing Zishu's legs with both hands and giggling.
Xing Zishu picked her up, pointed to Chu Yiyao, who was sitting next to her, and said, "Nuan'er, this is my aunt." ”
The one-year-old child didn't recognize his life, and when he heard his mother's introduction, he turned his face to look at Chu Yiyao, maintained his smiling face, and shouted in a milky voice, "Aunt! ”
"She can't tell you all yet." Xing Zishu touched her hand fondly, raised her head and said to Chu Yiyao, "This kid speaks late, but he is very smart, he loves to read, and his favorite thing is to sit on Xianggong's lap and listen to him read." ”
Chu Yiyao saw that this chubby child liked it very much, and picked up Nuan'er from Xing Zishu's hand, and the little guy kissed her on the cheek a few times without hesitation, and then saw Shen Shixuan, and said to Xing Zishu, where did this new uncle come from.
Chu Yiyao simply handed her over to Shen Shixuan, she was used to holding Shen Guobao in the past, as soon as Nuan'er arrived in her hand, Shen Shixuan skillfully hugged her, the little guy especially likes handsome people, no, he won't come down when he is in Shen Shixuan's arms.
It wasn't until Zhang Ziling came back that she left Shen Shixuan's arms and ran to her father, watching the father and daughter intimacy, and Xing Zishu's face was full of warmth.
After having dinner together, Xing Zishu pulled Chu Yiyao to talk again, and Shen Shixuan and Zhang Ziling went to the small pavilion in the backyard to have a glass of wine and chat.
Nuan'er moved around on the couch in the room, watching her mother and aunt chatting for a while, looking out the window for a while, as if she was thinking about something, and when Xing Zishu turned her head to look, the little guy was already lying on the small pillow, squinting and falling asleep.
"Cousin, this time I have to stay in Luoyang for a long time, I'll come back another day, it's not too early." Chu Yiyao stood up and said goodbye to her.
"I don't have anything to do at home every day, you can sit more when you have time, and I don't know when we will meet when we go back." Xing Zishu's tone was full of missing Jinling and Huizhou, and she also knew that accompanying her husband to Luoyang, there was little chance of going back in the future, and she might have to stay in Luoyang for the rest of her life, or go elsewhere with her post.
Chu Yiyao nodded, "I'll come over when I'm done." ”
Out of Zhang's house, Shen Shixuan asked the coachman to go to the most prosperous street market in Luoyang, which was as lively as day, brightly lit, the shops on both sides of the wide road were open, and there were many guests coming in and out, Shen Shixuan took Chu Yiyao into a restaurant, sat down in the box, and let Xiao Er serve several chef's specialties.
From the window of the box, you can see the scenery as far as you can, and occasionally there are patrols who maintain law and order, and you can see the high city wall from afar, and within the city wall, the most noble people of the Great Liang Kingdom live.
The guy quickly put the dishes on the table, and Shen Shixuan picked up the spoon and scooped the soup for her first, "How about it, is it better than Dingyue Lou's." ”
Chu Yiyao took a sip, the well-seasoned fish soup could not eat a little fishy smell, and the slightly thick soup also exuded a faint milky fragrance, the fish soup was made of fresh fish and minced tofu, and some celery minced celery was added to it, it was these simple things, but the taste was very delicious.
"It's delicious." Chu Yiyao drank a bowl of satisfaction with satisfaction, but the ginger was added just right.
Shen Shixuan saw that she liked it, so he served her another bowl, and did not forget to introduce the rest of the dishes, "The chef in this restaurant came out of the imperial dining room in the palace. "The amount of each dish is not much, just this fish soup, two people in a small bowl with four bowls are gone, but each dish is very exquisite, whether it is the name or the color of the plate.
There are many rules in the palace, and the food is also refined, and the cooks who came out of there have inherited the habits that let more people come to eat in the restaurant.
"You want to open something else?" Bringing herself over so late, it's not just for eating, Chu Yiyao has tasted a few dishes, and she has also planned the matter of this restaurant in her heart, and there are a lot of recipes collected over the past so long.
"I discussed it with my brother-in-law just now, and we decided to open a restaurant together," Shen Shixuan saw the surprise on Chu Yiyao's face, poured himself a cup of tea and said leisurely, "Open a restaurant like this in Jinling, the chef will be found by my brother-in-law, and we will each take half of it, and I will take care of the restaurant." ”
said that he wanted to make friends, Shen Shixuan immediately took action, and if he didn't contact him after he went back, he would definitely not be able to make friends, what way to maintain this relationship, only two people made money together, studying in Luoyang Academy, Zhang Ziling's expenses came from the Zhang family, and now they are all children's fathers, Shen Shixuan mentioned this, Zhang Ziling was quickly aroused.
Now that Zhang Ziling has not taken the exam, everything is unknown, and the cooperation at this time is the simplest.
Chu Yiyao looked at the smugness in his eyes and snorted, "Grandfather won't let you do these things outside." "I don't have to go to her.
Sure enough, Shen Shixuan looked at her flatteringly, "Good lady, in the future, you will be making money outside to support the family, and I will be responsible for taking care of the children at home, how about it?" ”
Chu Yiyao coughed up a mouthful of yam, spit out the yam in the middle of the sound, took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth with a blushing face, how could she think he was honest before, it was all an illusion...
After more than ten days, the caravan was going to prepare to return to Jinling, and for more than ten days, they stayed at Zhang's house for two nights, Shen Shixuan and Zhang Ziling discussed what should be discussed, and when they went back to Jinling, they had to prepare for the restaurant.
Two days later, under the leadership of Bai Jingming, the caravan set off back to Jinling.
In the huge inner hall, a woman dressed in a white palace dress, lazily leaning on the chair, looking out of the window, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the palace people behind the woman whispered in her ear, "Niangniang, Xiao Xizi is back." ”
The woman waved her hand, and a eunuch hurriedly walked in, stood in front of her, and shouted respectfully, "Niangniang." ”
The woman got up, and the two palace people hurriedly supported her, a flash of thought flashed on her slightly pale face, and she looked at the half-round bright moon on the eaves outside the window, "Gone?" ”
The eunuch hurriedly replied, "I left Luoyang this morning, these days, in addition to taking his wife around, the second young master of the Shen family often goes to the Zhang family, also from Jinling, and the eldest young master of the Zhang family takes his wife and daughter to study in Luoyang Academy. ”
"What's your name?" The woman turned around, and there was no trace of years on a face that had fallen into the city, and Wei Ling's expression was full of a sense of rebelliousness, which was incompatible with this palace.
"It's called Zhang Ziling." The eunuch lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her, a trace of tiredness flashed on the woman's face, and the palace man next to her left with the eunuch, and there was a soft sigh in the inner hall......
