142 Questions

The first lobbying ended in failure, Shen Yan was a little discouraged, but she could only comfort herself that if her uncle was really so easily persuaded to move, she would not wait for a few months without moving. Besides, moving from the south to the north is not something that can be decided at once. However, it is clear that he did not agree to move not because of the financial resources of the matter, but because of the unspeakable concealment of what he said.

What is it that is so hard to say?

Shen Guanyu came back in the evening after hearing that Hua Juncheng was coming, and Hua Juncheng met with him and said goodbye and returned to Zishu Hutong. He will stay until the end of the year and rush to Jinling to reunite with his family, and his stay in Beijing should be about ten days. And if there is no accident, if he comes to Jingshi again, he will at least wait until March to send summer silk to the palace.

In other words, if she could not convince him of this determination in these ten days, she would have to delay it for a few more months. By March, nearly a year had passed, and I had to worry about long nights and dreams.

She's going to have to find a way to move him in the next few days.

At the end of the year, there were many guests in the house, and Fahrenheit went out to socialize, taking advantage of her free at night, Shen Yan arrived at the main room.

Fahrenheit was arranging the fox fur fur for her, which had been carefully washed and dried in the drying room with a slight warm breeze, so that there was not a trace of water. Seeing Shen Yan coming in, she said: "Coincidentally, it turns out that you and Brother Jun have a birthday around the same time, you are twenty-one, he is twenty-three, and you remember to go to Lingzhou Garden to make a salute when the time comes." ”

Du Jun is older than her, and he salutes on his birthday. It's the way it should be.

Shen Yan didn't have any opinions. She put her arm on Fahrenheit and said, "I'm asking you something." ”

"Say it." Fahrenheit beckoned Qing Dai to put away her clothes, lightly.

Shen Yan said: "Why did the Hua family move to Jinling back then? ”

Fahrenheit looked back. frowned and groaned for a while, and said, "It was your grandfather's idea to move, and I was already out of the cabinet at that time, and I forgot how I thought of this." The left and right are because the silk weaving industry of the Hua family is in the south, and it is easier to take care of it when they move over. ”

Shen Yan looked at her silently.

Fahrenheit frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Yan stared at the large copper lavender cage in front of him, and said solemnly: "I want my uncle to move back to Jingshi, so that it will be good for everyone." But my uncle told me today. There is something unspeakable about him not moving. What else does it mean to be righteous or unrighteous, it confuses me. ”

Fahrenheit had never thought about the possibility of the Hua family moving. But since the last accident, Shen Yan has taken advantage of the situation, and she has gradually felt that without her mother's family by her side, it is really difficult for her to support herself. I'll hear her talk about it later. Then he said: "They moved back, it is indeed a good thing for both worlds, your father is still asking me how Brother Yu'er's homework is, if they are in Jingshi, your father can also take care of him more." ”

"That's exactly what happened," Shen Yan straightened up, "Mother might as well persuade your uncle too, and if you can, join your father to persuade him." My father knew a lot. He must be more useful than we are. Now that the emperor is always targeting the Hua family, the Hua family is unlucky, what good is it for the Shen family? There is strength in numbers. Only in one place, the future will get better and better. ”

Fahrenheit was stunned and scolded, "How do you speak?" How could the Hua family be unlucky? ”

"That's what I said," Shen Yan sighed, "Today, the emperor's will is unpredictable, and so many heroes have died for no reason. Who knows if one day it will be able to move its brains to the Hua family? ”

Fahrenheit let go and looked at her, "You can't hope for something better." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at the ground again and became silent. I don't know what to think about.

At the end of each year, it is the most lively time in the city, and it is also the time when the guests from the mansions of the magnates come to the door the most. The Duke of Wei's Mansion is no exception, many of the generals who came to report on their work in the military camps from all over the country have a relationship with the Han family, some are subordinates of the old Duke of Wei, and some are old friends of the Han family.

Since the beginning of the lunar month, the tea in the main hall of the front yard has never been broken.

On this day, he sent away several generals from the former military camp, and Han Ji took advantage of the time to eat tea to summon Xin Yi in the study: "Is there any movement in the palace?" ”

Xin Yi said: "This year has changed from previous years, because the former prince was deposed, Empress Liu was dormant, and Zhongcui Palace was very quiet. Concubine Yang Shu went to Cining Palace a lot, and it seems that she is indeed ready to move. And the king of Chu is fifteen years old, and it should be the time to discuss marriage, and the little estimate is that Yang Shufei will take this opportunity to cast a big net in the court. ”

Han Ji picked up a cup of sparrow tongue soaked in a Western glass on the table, "The old lady of the He family used to be a prince, and there are many of his protΓ©gΓ©s in the court.

"Didn't Concubine Yang Shufei's maiden uncle serve as a general in the former military camp? Although the connections on both sides of the civil and military are not strong, they still exist. However, the probability of using the garrison camp for such a thing is actually not very large, mainly the 24th Department of the Cabinet and the 6th Ministry, so if you want to choose the princess, I guess it will be selected among the civil officials. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "Do you really think that at this moment, Concubine Shu will be in a hurry to let the courtiers stand in line first?" ”

Xin Yi also raised his eyebrows: "Wouldn't it?" ”

Han Ji shook the cup, raised his lips and said, "First of all, the emperor is a suspicious person. A suspicious person will not trust anyone absolutely 100%. What the Zhao family is most afraid of is that someone covets the throne, even if Concubine Shu is favored, but the crown prince has been deposed for less than a year, if she is smart, she should be patient for the time being, and delay it for a year or two.

"In this year, she has shown enough edge, not only does the queen not fight with her, but everything is low-key, in the long run, the queen does not have to spend the slightest effort, and the doctors in the court will all fold and protest on the ground. Therefore, if Concubine Shu wants to maintain the strength to wrestle with the queen at this time, she must restrain her edge, otherwise she will kill herself. ”

Xin Yi savored it carefully, and couldn't help but say awe-inspiringly: "It's still the young master who is wise." ”

Han Ji looked out the window again and frowned: "It's just that I don't understand, who is the person behind the scenes who is giving advice to Queen Liu?" ”

Xin Yi condensed: "An Ning Hou Liu Yan, it seems that there is no such strategy. And King Zheng is still only twelve years old, so he should not be angry. And the former subordinate ability of the abolished prince has already been killed, and the remaining wine bags and rice bags don't even know the word righteousness, so they have already fled and don't know where to go, and they can't help her. ”

"Not bad."

Han Ji walked up to the east side of the Hu bed in addition to his shoes, sat down on the ground, shook his sleeves and said, "So next, we have to focus on investigating this person." After speaking, he paused his head, and then said: "Hua Juncheng has ever entered Beijing?" ”

Xin Yi's eyes immediately condensed, and said: "Hua Jun Cheng arrived in the early morning of the eighteenth month of the first month of the Qing Dynasty, and went to the Shen Mansion that day. The little one sent someone to pay a visit, and as he had done a few times before, he said that he wanted to visit his relatives but declined. The little one first thought that he had seen what we ordered, but then he found that all the nobles or generals who handed over the posts had been pushed. This Hua Juncheng doesn't seem to want to interact with Xungui very much. ”

Han Ji stroked the glass on the table, and a trace of cold light suddenly overflowed in his eyes, "A person who tends to be angry and greedy for life and afraid of death, of course he will not have the face to interact with Xungui again." He lowered his eyes and sipped the tea, and said lightly: "You can fight for this person, and if you can't fight for it, you don't need to pay attention to it." ”

Xin Yi said yes, and suddenly there was a trace of sadness between his eyebrows.

Shen Yan didn't get any useful information from Hua's place, and his mood was as gloomy as the sky.

Although Hua Shi agreed to lobby Hua Juncheng with Shen Mi, if his uncle refused to go north because of the unspeakable concealment of what he said, then he had to solve this concern. And before she can solve it, she must first understand what this concern is! She thought that Fahrenheit knew something inside, but now she had to dig out everything on her own.

But Hua Juncheng didn't say it herself, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and before she could come up with some eyebrows, her birthday had arrived.

Early in the morning, Hua Juncheng went to the house and gave her a lot of jewelry and silk to congratulate her on her birthday, and he was going to visit Cao Chun, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, today, so he didn't come to eat longevity noodles with her.

Shen Yan knew that he was a busy man, and the imperial merchant was a very special identity, they were not official eunuchs, but they were the type of people who dealt with the courtiers in the palace the most, and often because of their rich resources, they often became the sweethearts in palace fights or party struggles, but it was good to follow the master, such as the Hua family following King Chen and Gaozu, if they didn't follow well, they would often become victims in various struggles.

It's not for fighting, sometimes some people will come to make friends in order to get some information from the palace, so Hua Juncheng's return to Beijing is inevitably indispensable for all kinds of entertainment, and this may be a point that he feels troubled about, but in the eyes of Shen Yan, who is familiar with the future, this is not a good thing.

At least there are a lot of exchanges, and there will always be some news that I want to know. So Shen Yan didn't understand why his uncle didn't come back if he moved to Jinling, if he came back, wouldn't it be more beneficial to how to protect his family's net worth interests?

"I heard that every year, many nobles will post to invite their uncle to come over for tea, but my uncle basically pushes it, unless it is particularly necessary. Uncle doesn't seem to be willing to associate with the nobles. ”

Fu Niang knows her troubles, so she has recently paid attention to the affairs of Zishu Hutong Washington, Hua Juncheng has been in Beijing these days, and there are people coming and going to Zishu Shutong every day in the second room, and it is not difficult to inquire about this information.

Shen Yan was also surprised when he heard this.

"Why don't you want to associate with Xungui? The nobles are not scholars, and when Gaozu raised the army, the Hua family had a lot of contacts with them. She remembered that when she was a child, she heard her aunt say that when the country was not decided, the Hua family had a lot of dealings with these generals and heroes, and often drank wine and ate meat together.
