Shen Ying's heart was as fine as hair, and she naturally felt it, and her original heart full of anticipation suddenly cooled down, looking at them who were completely immersed in the topic, but there was nothing she could do, seeing Lu Silan cutting paper and talking to them from time to time, she also came up to talk, and learned from Lu Silan's example to cut the magpie and climb the branch.

This chat did not disperse until the sun turned west, and Shen Ying did not leave until Shen Yan said goodbye from the Lu family. Mrs. Lu asked the maid to pack some snacks that Shen Yan likes to eat and send her back to the house, Lu Silan volunteered and went to the house with Shen Yan to Bishui Courtyard.

Shen Ying returned to the pillow incense pavilion where she was currently living in the fourth room, and when she entered the door, she flipped a pot of autumn flowers that was blooming brightly under the curtain and fell to the ground.

Liu Ying was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to reassure: "Why is the girl so angry, seeing that it is cold, she carefully moved her liver fire, and caused the old problem on her body." ”

"How can I not be angry?" Shen Ying pointed out the window and said fiercely: "Look at Mrs. Lu's snobbish appearance, the whole thing looks like a dog leg in the first or second room!" She Shen Yan just coughed, and she ran over to shoot people's ass! When she left, she gave her some snacks, wasn't this clearly made for me?! I'm also a young lady of the Shen family, what qualifications does she have to snub me like this! ”

Liu Ying turned around and called the maid to hand the tea and take the hot handkerchief, and said softly after turning around: "Since we are such a mean person, we can't go back next time." ”

"Why not?"

Shen Yingteng stood up, "The more they despise me so much, the closer I have to get to them!" I want them to know that Shen Yan is better than my life, and nothing else is as good as me! ”

Liu Ying originally took the tea and handed it to her, but when she saw her like this, she couldn't help but dispel her thoughts.

Here in Bishui Courtyard, Lu Silan frowned and said to Shen Yan: "You don't know how annoying I am to be pestered by her, and I am delicate all day long. As if I didn't know who she actually was, I'd better avoid her in the future. ”

Shen Yan laughed and said, "If people want to befriend you, where can you hide?" ”

Lu Silan thought about it, and sighed for a while, so she stayed and said, "Forget it, I'll go back first." ”

Shen Yan sent her to the gate. I was about to go to Fahrenheit's house. But at the door of the second room, I met Shen Mi who came over thoughtfully.

"Father, where did you come from?"

Shen Yan asked curiously.

Shen Mi looked at her with her hands down, with a hint of solemnity between her eyebrows, and looked at her for a long time before saying, "The emperor has allowed Cheng Ge to tell the old man." Now that the cabinet is empty, the emperor summoned the lord and Lord Liu Yaze to talk together, and I came from the lord's house. ”

The Shen family has always had a family rule that women don't discuss political affairs, but since Aunt Wu's death was broken by Shen Yan. Shen Mi would occasionally reveal a sentence or two to her about things that were inconsequential to the court, and since she found out the real murderer Liu who intended to murder Hua. Shen Mi seems to be a little more lenient with her in this regard, for example, she occasionally mentions the foundation of the court outline or something, even if it is a few words, it is already very remarkable.

But even so. Shen Mi also told her not to reveal it to the public, so she told her so directly about such a big thing. It's a first.

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment before he said, "Does this mean that you want to choose a substitute between Master Liu and Lord Liu?" ”

Shen Mi motioned for her to enter the door and said. "Although it was not explicitly stated. But that's what it means. ”

Shen Yan remembered that Shen Guanyu had only joined the cabinet a few years later in his previous life, so he said: "The Shen family has already received a lot of favor, and it is too much, I think the matter of entering the cabinet can be discussed slowly." Lord Liu is the emperor's confidant minister, if the lord lets it out, he will not only sell this affection to Lord Liu, but it will not be so easy to become the target of the public, which will be more beneficial to the Shen family. ”

Only when the Shen family is good can Shen Mi be good, and if Shen Mi is good, it is possible to save the Hua family from fire and water.

Shen Mi stopped and looked at her, her eyes were full of appreciation, "It's rare that you have such a quiet and calm heart, and my father really didn't misunderstand you." After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at the golden ginkgo tree in the courtyard, frowned a little more, and said: "This is exactly what the master means now, but in this way, the Hua family is afraid that they will have to wear small shoes for a few more years." ”

No wonder he would tell her such an important matter, it turned out that he was worried about the Hua family!

Shen Yan's heart suddenly warmed, and his face became solemn.

Shen Guanyu's entry into the cabinet is naturally of great benefit to improving the situation of the Hua family, but if the emperor is really determined to run the Hua family, how can he give up because of the obstruction of the Shen family? Even if the Hua family is not guilty, he will also find a crime to treat him, and Shen Mi doesn't know what will happen in three years, even if Shen Guanyu gets this position, it will not be of much use to the future.

She thought for a moment and said: "My father often said that if you go outside, you must first settle inside, our family is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and our position in the court is not very stable, and it is easy to cause a lot of trouble if we are in a hurry." The situation of the Hua family is a headache, and I understand my father's feelings, but for the sake of the long term, I still think it is more appropriate to develop the influence of the Shen family in the court and the emperor first. ”

If he knew that the Hua family's fate in the future would be so miserable that the Shen family could not save it at all, he would definitely not hesitate.

"It's all eaten, what are you two still rubbing!"

As he spoke, Fahrenheit's voice came from ahead. Shen Yan looked up and saw her standing under the porch in a smoky coat, hibiscus like a willow and eyebrows, like a budding peony flower, like a young woman of twenty-five or sixteen.

Shen Mi's eyebrows widened a little, and he patted Shen Yan on the shoulder with a smile, "Let's go, your mother is weak and can't be hungry." ”

"Hmm." Shen Yan smiled and nodded, and walked over.

After the announcement of Cheng Ge's old man the next morning, it began to spread in Beijing. Cheng Ge is the founding father, his farewell to the old represents the retirement of the first batch of heroes of the Great Zhou, and also represents the beginning of the change of the old and new of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Shen Guanyu and Liu Yaze are both popular candidates for substitute cabinetry, so the house is also full of visitors these days, Shen Mi and Shen Xuan will accompany guests in the main room after the next court, and Hua does not have much spare time, because some officials themselves are inconvenient to come forward to inquire and climb friendships, so they sent their own wives to find out the relationship with Guò.

Although Shen Fuli is now the head of the Ji family, the real influence is still the second room, so Hua's is inevitably pushed to the front, and more and more people know that this Shen Er* grandmother from the imperial merchant Hua family is a beautiful and refreshing woman, and she is favored by her husband alone, so that everyone has a more accurate understanding of Shen Mi's conduct.

Of course, in addition to the Shen family, Liu Yaze, who is the emperor's confidant, has been even more so, and the government and the opposition have privately compared Liu Yaze with Shen Guanyu, as well as the Liu family and the Shen family.

In Dongtai Temple, the splendor of autumn flowers and the golden color of ginkgo reflect each other. The quaint Zen courtyard is filled with the fragrance of the nose, and the morning sun is spread on the glazed corrugated, showing a row of scorching white.

Gu Song and Dong Slow faced Yi under the ginkgo tree, Xue Ting, the little prince of Fuguo, held the chess game, and discussed countermeasures with Dong Slow while watching, Han Ji stood in the Zen room in the long window, caressing his forehead with one hand, and listened to Xin Yi standing in front of him.

"Liu Yaze and Shen Guanyu are on par with each other, Shen Guanyu is a little better at learning, and the connections accumulated by the Shen family for several generations are also one of his major advantages, plus the second son Shen Mi is erudite and wise, and has a good reputation in the court, and he has the potential to be better than the blue. But the Shen family was once in charge of the cabinet of the monarch of the previous dynasty, which is a big hurdle after all, even if the emperor doesn't care, I'm afraid it will attract many secret enemies. ”

Xin Yi spoke eloquently, and his voice was elegant like a bamboo chanting stream.

Han Ji was silent and said, "The Shen family prides itself on being a poetic heirloom, and it is the most orthodox. For the sake of a hundred years of foundation, Shen Guanyu's choice to belong to the Zhou Room has changed. If there is a battle between the queen and the concubine, the Shen family will definitely stand on the queen's side, otherwise, how can the Shen family have any face among the scholars? ”

Xin Yi looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

Han Ji stood up, moved his hand joints, walked to the center of the room, and said: "As you said, the Shen family's eagerness to advance will inevitably bring many unexpected troubles, they can go through the troubled times and the change of dynasties and still have a place in the Zhou family, they are by no means impetuous and rash. I guess Shen Guanyu will give up this opportunity. ”

Xin Yi thought about it and nodded slightly.

"But Shen Guanyu's goal should still be to join the cabinet."

Han Ji raised his eyebrows, and continued: "This is the competitiveness of literati. He was the first assistant of the cabinet of the previous dynasty, and now Taoguang is only raising obscurity to return to this position in the future. He has this ability, and the former dynasty is not something he can save alone. And he is now in his fifties, so let's speculate that he will not be too far from the date of entering the cabinet, at most he will be a replacement in the next cabinet.

The more this is the case, the more cautious he will be in the past few years before he joins the cabinet to avoid getting involved in the court party struggle. No matter how fierce the queen and Concubine Shu fight, he will not stand up for the queen on the surface. As long as it is confirmed that the Shen family does not get involved, things will be much easier. So Shen Guanyu didn't enter the cabinet, but it was actually better for me. ”

When Xin Yi heard this, he nodded with a smile: "Listening to what the young master said, the Shen family is indeed not an idle person. ”

"That's nature." Han Ji took out a branch wolf from the pen holder on the case and watched it in his hand, "The Shen family is the head of the four major families, and the other Qiu, Xie, and Du families have had a close relationship with the Shen family in the past dynasties, plus the protégés who have gone out of the Shen family over the years, after the Shen family is moved, the imperial court will inevitably be cut off by the world's scholars.
