Ji Shi was relieved, thinking of Shen Yan's appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "It's just a clever ghost." After speaking, he stopped the needle and thread in his hand again, "But although she doesn't look like the kind of person who is full of calculations, at such a young age, she can figure out that layer of power, which should not be underestimated." ”

What's more, in recent times, Mrs. Shen's calculations have been repeatedly disappointed.

Although she is not discharged from the hospital, these things may not be hidden from her eyes and ears.

Thinking of this, she said: "Mrs. is very dissatisfied with your second aunt's background, and she has not given birth to a son for your second uncle over the years, and even the granddaughter of Yan Yatou has not had a good face. ”

Now they can only rely on the old lady, Shen Yi's marriage, Shen Rui's future, and even the inheritance of this business, all depend on Yao Ritang's attitude, if they lose the favor of their in-laws because of the second room, then can they, orphans and widows, be as comfortable as they are now?

Shen Yi was silent, but he raised his head and said, "According to me, my mother's words are wrong." ”

Ji Shi looked up and looked at her puzzled.

She stood up, walked to the screen, stroked Shen Xian's poem on the top of the inscription, and said: "Now that my father is gone, my uncles have become the pillars of the house, and the second uncle has the most potential. He is well learned, has a good temperament, is also sophisticated, and is now the longest in the house, and the former emperor alone summoned him to accompany him on hunting, which shows that he still has a lot to do in the court.

"Brother Rui is only four years old now, and it will take at least ten years to be able to set up a household, and in the past ten years, the second uncle has the help of the master, even if he does not inherit the mantle of the master, he has already become a pillar of the court. In the future, even if Rui'er inherits the sect, she will still rely on him to support her. At this time, the mother did not let her daughter get closer to Sister Yan'er, but let me alienate her, isn't it a big mistake? ”

When Ji heard this, he was stunned on the spot.

She had never thought that Shen Yi was so deep, but now that she has listened to her careful analysis, she feels that it makes a lot of sense.

The Shen family relies on learning and fame to inherit the family, even if Shen Rui inherits this family business, he still has to make achievements in his career to live up to the reputation of the family, and Shen Mi came back from serving in Jinling for three years, so he served as a member of the Ministry of Rites, and let the emperor point to Shen Guanyu's hands.

Especially this time, he was summoned to accompany him from among the civil officials, isn't this enough for people to see the signs?

With the support of his father in a high position, and the emperor's blue eyes, in ten years, Shen Mi is enough to grow into a member of the second and third grades in the court. At that time, Shen Rui was just starting, and he had to rely on Shen Mi's help. Although Hua's in-laws are not pleased, she can't stand the support of Shen Mi, in this case, if Shen Rui plans for the future, he really shouldn't alienate Shen Yan.

Thinking that the twelve-year-old Shen Yi was even more thoughtful than her, Ji Shi didn't feel a little embarrassed.

"What you said is very true, but Mrs. Rui's future is important, in the end, your marriage is also important, no matter what, your marriage has to be decided by Mrs. Guò."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi's face turned red, and she smiled: "Mother is too worried, Sister Yan is my sister after all, and the daughter of the second uncle, I get along well with Sister Yan, is there anything that my wife is unhappy with?" I think my wife is a little prejudiced against the second aunt, and she doesn't have too many prejudices against Sister Yan herself. Mother doesn't leave the house anyway, as long as she doesn't interact too much with her second aunt, it doesn't matter. ”

Ji Shi thought about it, so he nodded: "That's what I said." ”

After the tea party, Shen Yan obviously had a lot of places to spend his pastime, except for going to the long room to find Shen Yi and going to Lu's house to find Lu Silan.

Even Lu Zhenqian has visited the door more recently, in addition to playing chess, sometimes he will invite her to find Shen Ming and Shen Xin together, and they will talk about poetry together. Fortunately in the chess game, Shen Yan really lost the reputation of a talented woman, she has done five quatrains and three small orders so far, and she was despised by Shen Mi to the point of being incomplete, so she didn't bother with it anymore.

But they had to catch the ducks on the shelves, and with the fact that she had read so many poems from Shen Mi, it was okay to reluctantly help to see it.

Lu Zhenqian said that he would call the Lan girl and the eldest girl, so often the small fights of a few people will always turn into a big party in the Qinfang Pavilion.

On this day, she was looking at Shen Ying's small order with her hands and eyebrows, and Fu Niang suddenly came over and said in her ear: "The second master just came out of the master's study, and it seems that the matter of the uncle has come to an end." ”

After hearing this, Shen Yan immediately pulled out his sleeved hand, said goodbye to everyone, and returned to Xiyue Hall.

Shen Mi seemed to be discussing this matter with Hua'sheit, her brows tightly locked, and she had lost her former openness.

"How's that errand? Did you get down? She asked, stepping over the threshold.

Fahrenheit's face was gloomy and he didn't speak. Shen Mi sighed: "Lord Liu's side has all been properly dispatched, but who knows that the emperor stopped him." ”

The emperor is not allowed? Shen Yan frowned, almost losing his voice.

She has been waiting for the news of the Internal Affairs Office this time, and she has also thought that even if she asks for Liu Yaze, it is likely that the result will still be the same as in her previous life, but she just doesn't know what Hua Jun has become and has not been transferred to Jinling, it turns out that the emperor is unwilling, so the catastrophe in Washington three years later, will it be the emperor who has moved his mind now?

She would never believe that the Hua family embezzled public funds, the Hua family is so rich, there is so much money that it is piled up in the treasury and moldy, can they use it to embezzle the money of the imperial court again? If the Hua family was short of money, why did they give her a title deed worth nearly 100,000 taels and a silver ticket as a dowry before sending her to Beijing?

Nearly 100,000 taels of dowry! That's more than enough money for her two lifetimes!

Later, she learned that the reason why her uncle was so crazy was that he realized that the Hua family was not guaranteed, and it was better to give her the property than to give the money to others! Even her niece got nearly 100,000 taels, so the Hua sisters and Hua Zhengyu will definitely not be less than this amount, although they were all filled into the treasury in the end, but at least it shows that the Hua family is not short of money.

Now that the emperor does not allow the Hua family to be transferred from Beijing, it obviously shows that the emperor may have the heart to cure the Hua family's sins now.

What should I do about this?

As long as the Hua family continues to stay in the court, then there is a chance that the tragedy of the previous life will be repeated, is it possible to let the Hua family withdraw from the court?

When Hua listened to the subordinates asking for housework, Shen Mi went to the study, and Shen Yan followed.

She covered the door of the study and said to Shen Mi: "It seems that my uncle is worried about the emperor." ”

Shen Mi was noncommittal, spread out the letterhead, picked out a piece of ink and handed it to her, "I'll write to your uncle." ”

Shen Yan took the ink and sharpened it for him, watched him write a title, hesitated, pursed his lips and said, "Father thinks, how about letting my uncle quit this errand?" ”

"Resigned?" Shen Mi raised his head. Instead, he smiled, looked out the window and said, "That's not true." Although the emperor has repeatedly complained about the Hua family, the Hua family has made meritorious contributions to the Zhou family, and has done his best to his errands over the years. ”

How could it not? You'll know in three years you're awesome. Shen Yan thought secretly, but knew that it would be nonsense to talk like this, so he kept silent.

Shen Mi also has his own reasoning, according to the current situation, the Hua family is just a little embarrassed, and can't see any signs of bad luck, don't say that she can't convince Shen Mi even if she wears out her mouth, even if she convinces Shen Mi, Hua Juncheng will not agree.

Hua family businessman was born, because of fate will rely on the merit of the ancestor to seek the position of an imperial businessman, now Hua Zhengyu is receiving a strict education, and when he has a first success, the test for fame comes back, Washington will gradually be able to get rid of the name of the businessman, among the ranks of the family. It's just that he can't get into the office, he has the name of an imperial businessman, and he is always a little decent in the officialdom.

Not only Hua Juncheng now, but anyone in his position, I am afraid that he will not abandon the formation and flee because of these troubles.

But if the Hua family didn't withdraw in time, how could they avoid the tragedy of their previous life? The emperor's intention to run the Hua family was already obvious to Shen Yan, and it was about the same as not making up his mind because of the meritorious work of the Zhou family in Washington. If it drags on for another three years, the dissatisfaction in the past three years accumulates, and it can be ignited by throwing a spark at will.

If the Hua family falls, Hua will have no status in the Shen family, and if she doesn't give birth to a son to Shen Mi, then she won't die in three months, and she will definitely be unable to move an inch in the future.

Therefore, for the sake of so many lives in Washington and Fahrenheit, Shen Yan must stir up the situation in this matter and let Hua Jun quit the court.

Shen Mi's letter was sent to Jinling half an hour later.

Fahrenheit's mood was depressed for a few days, but it gradually cleared up.

Originally, I was extremely disappointed with this time, and the Hua family has been displeased with Long Yan at every turn in the past two years, which is like burying a bag of gunpowder around him, and he doesn't know when it will burst and ignite. But if you think about it carefully, since the emperor is not allowed to stay in the middle of the house this time, this can also be interpreted as being reluctant to wronged the Hua family, after all, the holy will is unpredictable, who knows if those scoldings are not filled with hatred of iron and steel?

Not only did Fahrenheit think so, but Washington also faintly revealed such a meaning in his reply.

Shen Yan felt very sad about their blind optimism, if they hadn't had great trust in the Zhou family in their previous life, how could they have ended up in such a field later?

Anyway, there is still time, let's take it step by step, and it is important to solve the matter of Shen Mi being imprisoned in three months.

Shen Mi made an appointment with Lu Ingot to go fishing in Zhuangzi and the day came soon.

"Your fourth uncle is not going again, causing me to dig so many earthworms." In the evening, Shen Mi sat down the stone steps dejectedly, pointing to a large jar of wriggling things in front of him. "If you don't go, you won't say it sooner, and you won't say it when you get here, your Uncle Lu's brother-in-law originally wanted to go, but he stopped because he saw that there were already three of us, but now he won't go."
