Chapter 64: Neither is it
"Your Majesty! The old slave has found a good thing for you. Grandpa Deng stepped forward with a smile, rested the cage covered with pure blue cloth on the ground, and lifted the cover.
Inside was a pure black cat, with green eyes shining like water, staring nervously at her. Then he turned his neck again, looked at Gonggong Deng, and meowed twice.
The cat is not big, it looks like it has just been weaned, and it looks ignorant, squatting in the cage and trembling slightly.
Gao Shenghan liked it immediately.
Father-in-law Deng opened the cage door with interest and took the kitten out.
Gao Shenghan took the hand, brushed the hair, the kitten made a comfortable purr in his throat, looked up at its new owner, seemed to be very satisfied, obediently lay in the crook of her arm, and began to look around curiously.
"Reward." Gao Shenghan said with a smile and put the cat on the table. The dragon robes are made of gold and silver threads mixed with complicated weaving methods, and it is not wrong to cherish the fruits of other people's labor a little. It seems that when I stay in the room in the future, I will have to change into normal clothes.
"It's good if the emperor likes it." Father-in-law Deng didn't dare to take credit.
"Who gave it?" Although he didn't care about the intentions of the person who gave the gift, Gao Shenghan still asked casually.
"Master Shen saw that the emperor liked snowballs very much yesterday, and he thought about getting people to find this one." Father-in-law Deng reported truthfully.
"He has a heart." Gao Shenghan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. It's because I'm worried that I'll fall in love with a snowball. "Ask him what he wants, and if you can, you can do it for me."
"Bixia carries love, this is the blessing of the little masters." Father-in-law Deng responded yes and went happily with the dust. The little masters are sensible, which is also the emperor's blessing! Well, it is not impossible to ask Shen Yifei what grace he wants, even if he gets a seven-grade official work for his family.
As a result, Shen Damei did not ask for grace, and responded politely, and with a wave of his hand, Grandpa Deng drew a few orders for consumables in the palace for the Shen family. Although it is not a tribute for the emperor, the expenses of the palace maids and eunuchs and guards are also considerable! There are also bricks, tiles, buildings, flowers and plants needed for the repair of palace houses every year, which is not money? Just let out a little bit of leakage between your fingers, which is enough for a large family to spend for a long time.
Shen Yifei has a lot of shops under his name, and there are stewards to take care of outside, and he only occasionally looks at the account books to ask a few words, and he doesn't interfere much in business matters, and the stewards don't dare to mess around. No, I only revealed to the outside yesterday that I wanted a beautiful cat, and someone sent it this morning.
For Grandpa Deng's kindness, but the icing on the cake, he didn't mind much.
What he wanted to know was: the attitude of the One.
It seems that the emperor also likes cats...... But why didn't anyone raise him before? He had heard about the emperor's cruelty to animals.
Could it be that the intelligence is wrong?
Shen Yifei couldn't figure it out, so he simply let go and read and write seriously. This year is the year of Dabi, and he has to take the exam. In the palace, life must be mixed, and fame must be won. He is different from the sons of Xun Gui, he has the grace of his ancestors, and when the emperor is tired of them, he can still make a false job when he is released from the palace. His parents are gone, and although he has his grandfather to take care of him, it is not a long-term solution after all. The uncles and brothers of the Shen family are eyeing their own family wealth, and they have bad intentions towards him, they have all kinds of dirty thoughts and ideas, he himself does not come out of the hall, and no one will care if he is bullied to death in the future.
When it comes to the reason why he entered the palace, it is the most absurd one.
He gave his life voluntarily.
Rather than being raised like a child by the clansmen who sacrificed themselves to those adults who were selfish, and then divided the family wealth left by his father, it was better to sleep directly with the emperor.
Who to sleep with is not sleeping? When your ability is too weak to protect yourself, even if you want to hug your thighs, you have to hug the thickest one! Moreover, at that time, it was also discussed with the former emperor, and the academy opened by my grandfather was secretly handed over to the royal family, and the emperor sent the mountain chief to manage it, cultivate talents for the country, and monitor the movements of Jiangnan officialdom and scholars by the way. This was a secret move, and even the queen and the crown prince at that time did not know about it. Of course, the current emperor knows it, and it is also a courtesy to himself, and he has been holding back for several years without moving, and he is ridiculous when he is drunk last time. It just so happened that his parents' filial piety was also full, and he couldn't find an excuse to refuse. But thinking that he was leaning on the big tree of the former emperor at that time (the queen was here, he didn't dare to seduce the prince), but his face was wrinkled, and it was very embarrassing to think about being pressed by such an uncle.
As a result, the first emperor was not a man and lustful, and he pitied himself for being talented, so he pointed him out to the prince as a companion (probably because he was also worried about his grandfather's face). However, he never studied with the prince once. The queen is guarding tightly, for fear that she will bring the prince crookedly, who would have thought about it...... The crown prince of the year and the emperor of the present day are hungry wolves? No matter how crooked others are, he himself will be crooked!
As soon as the first queen left, the new emperor was completely out of control, and even in the filial piety period, he dared to rob the good family, how hateful.
However, he is happy to see it happen. The more unfortunate people there are, the less they can show them. Moreover, the pain of the only pain is not as good as the pain of the others, they are all raised by his mother's father, why should he be the only one who can feed the owner.
Besides, following the emperor has many benefits: not only can you keep your family wealth, but you can also snowball your business bigger, and by the way, disgust your clansmen and make them regret their deaths. As for the maternal grandfather...... After all, the surname is different, the Shen family is also a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, he is not a Beijing official who is not good at interfering in the family affairs of the Shen family, and his grandfather also has a few opponents with different political views, and he has been staring at it! Aren't those people the uncles want to be on the bar? I am reluctant to sell my son, but it is very refreshing to sell him!
It's disgusting!
Fortunately, with himself in the palace, the situation of his grandfather is okay. If you get along with the emperor, it's not impossible to blow the wind on your pillow.
After thinking about it like this, it seems that it is actually good to stay in the palace? Food and clothing are worry-free, safe and secure, except for occasional dedication to make the emperor feel refreshed...... Forget it, I'm also cool, so I don't care about the pain of losing my body. As long as he wasn't beaten all over his body like Chen Zixiu, he wasn't afraid.
It's useless to be afraid, is it?
Shen Yifei thought darkly, and regretted a little, he should have asked for an official position just now. Even if it is not for himself, he should make a county official for the son of the chief steward, and it is best to be near the old mansion of the Shen family...... Forget it, Qipin is too small to see enough. The province was calculated by those people again. It's better to study and take the scientific examination honestly, and then get an official position after being admitted. With his grandfather here, he can't be indebted.
It's a pity that the ideal is full, and the reality is cruel.
In the evening, someone came in with news, saying that something had happened to the Shen family!
"What? Someone reported his father for rebellion? Shen Yifei was shocked! His father has been dead for years!
