Zhang Hui was drunk, opened the chatterbox, and did not shy away from talking about family affairs.

"My maternal grandfather is the eldest son of the Marquis of Huichang, Mrs. Tai has no children for many years, and my maternal grandfather was raised by the son of the world. Correct...... Later, Mrs. Tai suddenly had a son-in-law, and her grandfather and his brother-in-law both got a Jinyi guard commander, and the great-grandfather no longer mentioned the matter of sealing the son. ”

"That sister-in-law was weak since he was a child, and he died before he could seal the attack." Zhang Hui opened his mouth, he really wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at all, "Guess what, Shen Er, you can't imagine that that sister-in-law only has a son and a concubine!" Mrs. Tai cried and begged the old marquis, insisting that this grandson inherit the title from generation to generation, and refused to let my grandfather, the eldest son, inherit the title. ”

"That year, my grandfather had already made meritorious deeds, and that grandson was only a seventeen-year-old hairy boy. It's the same as a concubine, but it's so different. The corners of his mouth are sarcastic. This eldest grandson is now the Marquis Sun Ming of Huichang. This Huichang Marquis martial arts did not see, military affairs have also received a lot of penalties, but it is a good ability to make a hand to see the wind and rudder, he originally married the sister of the queen of the temple, and later, the original partner died in due course, he continued to be the daughter of the eldest princess of Jiashan. ”

The eldest princess of Jiashan is the daughter of Yingzong.

This Huichang Marquis Sun Ming married the sister-in-law of Empress Daizong after the Tumubao Change, and after the change of seizing the door, Yingzong re-ascended the dragon chair, and this quickly let the original partner "die at the right time" and remarried Yingzong's granddaughter.

The word timely is especially chilling.

Shen Rui sighed, these relatives and nobles saw the wind and made the rudder's kung fu perfect. It's rare that it still deserves to be a wall grass and hasn't been cleaned up.

"My grandfather ignored Sun Ming's villainous behavior, and his credit was real. My grandfather died a number of children, and in the end, my mother and uncle were the only ones left. My uncle has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he doesn't care about those villains, and he also follows the same martial arts path as his grandfather. Zhang Hui's face faintly showed pride, "My uncle Sun Luan was deeply trusted by the first emperor, and he was in charge of Jinyi Weinan Town. ”

However, soon his tone changed to Sen Ran, "That Huichang Marquis Sun Ming only gave birth to a son, Sun Zhen, but it was born from the original Wang family." He was deeply afraid that my uncle's holy family would be grand, and that his family's modern temple affairs would be liquidated, and the title would eventually return to my maternal grandfather's branch, so he repeatedly resorted to his subordinates to frame my uncle. ”

"In the ninth year of Hongzhi, he stained my uncle for corruption, and during the time my uncle was imprisoned, he jumped out again and competed with other uncles and grandfathers in the head of the house for the Zhuangtian house of the descendants of the Hou Mansion given by the Xuanmiao under the name of my grandfather. That Sun Ming is even more unrelenting, and his strategy is becoming more and more poisonous. ”

When Zhang Hui said this, his face was already full of hideousness, and his voice was extremely sad: "After my grandfather passed away, Sun Ming actually instructed my grandfather to give out his brother Sun Heng to slander my uncle and father and son for steaming my father's concubine. ”

Shen Rui opened his mouth wide in shock, and said strangely that he only inquired about Uncle Zhang Hui's brief command of the Nanzhen Fusi, but he died quickly. Originally...... How is that......

Steaming, fornication.

This is not a dirty Tang stinky man, the son steames his father and concubine, which is a major crime of unfilial piety, against heaven, and bad people, and the sentence is quite heavy in the Daming Law.

It has always been the most difficult to figure out the affairs of men and women, let alone the uncle who denounced it...... Even if there is no empirical evidence, such a trumped-up sin is enough to ruin the career of a promising Nanzhen Fusi Zhenfu.

"My grandfather died, and my grandmother's words were determined to be a lack of trust to protect my son. Sun Heng has empty lips and white teeth, but his uncle is speechless. In the end, the first emperor still trusted my uncle, but he was forced to say that my uncle was demoted to a higher level and lived idle. ”

Zhang Hui had already covered his face with his hands, trembling slightly, "How can my uncle stand such a pickle, he will die of anger in less than a year." After he died, his grandmother begged for it, and the Ministry of Rites actually decided not to do anything with him! Or is it the first emperor's permission ......"

Shen Rui also fell silent, there was no rumor of this matter outside, it should be related to Jinyiwei, everyone did not dare to discuss, and the first emperor was benevolent, and he probably suppressed the matter with a tone of mouth.

This is what happened...... It's impossible to prevent it, and it's impossible to argue like this......

Alas, it's no wonder that Zhang Hui said that he was careful everywhere, and he would react so much to Qiu Ju's movements.

It's really a thief's bite, and it goes into the bone.

Shen Rui was suddenly speechless, not knowing what to comfort Zhang Hui, so he only patted him on the shoulder, raised the water bladder, and poured a sip of wine.

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

Don't say that the heavenly family has no flesh and bones, and fight for that dragon chair to the death; There is also tragic internal friction in Mo Dao's family, and his relatives are also like enemies; Not to mention that if you have a small family asset, you can't keep it for a piece of land, a few taels of silver, and the brother Xiao Wall.

When I first came, my biological mother Sun was newly mourned, and the three rooms and nine rooms couldn't wait to jump out to carve up the Sun family's industry.

What did Shen Yuan do to his biological son? Later, Shen Yuan took the marriage of his favorite eldest son, and didn't he have to sell it for a good price!

Why did Shen Ling, the third room in the Tongwei case, die in vain, and his biological father Shen Yong got out of the matter? Shen Yong was still able to persecute his widowed daughter-in-law and young grandson when his son's bones were still cold, and fight for the money!

Then think about why the second room decided to enter Beijing in the first place...... So how vicious the Shaw Brothers are!

In front of wealth, what are relatives?

Shen Rui took one sip of wine after another, only to feel that the wine was mellow and long in his mouth, but when it fell into his stomach, it was like a fire, and his mind was slightly swollen.

He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, the June wind was warm, a large area of farmland was rolling with green waves, fertile fields for thousands of miles, as if endless, the sky was blue and clear, and the big clouds moved with the wind, showing the vastness of the sky and the earth, and the heart suddenly swelled with bursts of heroic feelings.

"The husband is born in the South China Sea and flies in the North Sea," he said softly.

Zhang Hui's slightly trembling shoulders stopped, and he listened to him recite all the way, and his voice became louder and louder, "If you don't stop Wutong, you don't eat if you don't practice, and you don't drink if you don't drink Liquan." So the squirrel rat, passing it, looked up at it and said: Scared! ……”

"Zhuangzi Autumn Water Chapter ......" Zhang Hui rubbed his drunken eyes, he was already drunk for seven minutes, and followed the chanting in a daze, gradually as if he understood the meaning, "...... If you want to scare me with Liang Guo......"

Shen Rui slapped a fist on Zhang Hui's shoulder and said loudly: "Are you willing to fight with that group of birds for that rotting rat, or do you want to jump out of that dirty circle, not a sycamore." ”

Zhang Hui chewed on this sentence repeatedly in his mouth, only to feel that the wine was strong, and his blood was boiling, "If I don't practice and don't eat, how can I look at him as a rotten rat!" ”

He stood up violently, threw a punch into the air, and shouted loudly: "I want to establish a career on the battlefield, I want to be knighted for military merits, how can I be trapped by his villain with rotting rats!" ”

Shen Rui also got up, clapped his hands and shouted, "That's good! A family of military generals, a good man, does not think about the battlefield meritorious service to the Quartet, loyal to the monarch and even the wolf Juxu, but is afraid of the villain's evil calculations, and is afraid of the woman's internal house tricks, isn't it a joke! ”

Zhang Huiben's blood was boiling, and he was suddenly embarrassed by Shen Rui's two words, he was out of the city in a negative mood before, and his mind was hot and he revealed all kinds of dissatisfaction with the family and grievances for his uncle.

"It's me who wants to be left......" he scratched his head, and the heroism faded instantly.

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "You didn't think about Zuo, second brother, the reason why we have to be cautious is because we don't have the strength to despise everything now." ”

Zhang Hui couldn't help but be stunned.

Shen Rui said: "It's right to rely on military merits to make a career, and it's also right to guard against villains, but in this world, only the gentleman can be guarded, where can the villain be guarded?" So what to do? By strength! In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery is false. As long as you are strong enough, who can hurt you by half a point! ”

Zhang Hui felt that the blood was surging back again, he nodded heavily, and said, "Yes." ”

"You're doing the right thing. Grace comes from above, so we naturally have to obey the will. Don't talk about it from afar, just say that your Yue family, the Marquis of Wujing first, and now Uncle Wujing, has been repeatedly attacked and has not fallen, not because Jane is in the emperor's heart. Shen Rui said slowly, "Today's most important affection, you and I both know. There is an ambition today, and you and I know it. If you have made achievements in martial arts, why worry about not being blessed by today, and why are you afraid of coveting the position of duke? ”

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! Zhang Hui nodded again and again, he didn't think so!

It's just that......

"I'm ...... now Please go out? Zhang Hui frowned and asked. He had already thought of going out for a while, but he was not very old, and besides, he was afraid that he would be far away from the little emperor, and someone in Beijing would frame the eldest brother, and he would not be able to protect him.

"It doesn't have to be right now." This heart-to-heart exchange, Shen Rui and Zhang Hui are naturally closer, and they really treat him as a brother, and plan to get up for him, "It's not that we avoid the important and light, but we also have to do what we can, and first do what we can According to my opinion, now that the Shanshan pattern, you are going, I am afraid that you will not be allowed to go out of the city to face the battle, most of them are defending the city, and it is not easy to make meritorious contributions; Yun Guisheng is quite good at fighting or not, regardless of whether he is easy to fight or not, it is enough to be a headache just because it is easy to repeat, this is flat today, and it is the opposite the next day, even if you win again and again, you will inevitably be harshly reprimanded by the official. ”

Zhang Hui grinned and said: "You scholar, you can also see it so clearly, if you give up the pen and follow Rong, you and my brother will gallop on the battlefield together!" ”

Shen Rui laughed and said, "Don't mistake me, I want the Golden Palace to be famous first!" ”

Saying that, putting away the joke, he said seriously: "Now there is an opportunity, we are about to operate Liaodong and Shandong, both of which have a lot to do." Although the Liaodong Tartars are also quite fierce, they are still much weaker than the Shanxi Mountains, and there are many tribes, and there are female straight barbarians, provoking them to oppose each other, we can also get twice the result with half the effort.

"I heard that although it is cold and freezing in Liaodong, the land is fertile and produces a lot of grain; Liaodong also produces horses, and it is not unthinkable to train iron horses! And the people of Liaodong are fierce, and the people are available, but the military households are too lazy to use, so they directly take the silver and recruit soldiers locally! Which of you warriors does not have private soldiers, which one is not the strongest private soldier, and you can train according to the training of private soldiers, and you are so complete with food, grass, horses, and soldiers, how can you not train a strong army! Shen Rui lowered his voice, but said very solemnly: "In his future, he will not be able to be crowned as a marquis and earl, so he will be the general of the army, and he will have tens of thousands of troops to guard Liaodong, you see that villain in the court can dare to move you, and move the eldest brother of the world!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Hui's eyes lit up, he was so happy that he only rubbed his hands, and he really wanted to go to Liaodong immediately to recruit troops and kill the Quartet, Shen Rui punched him again, "Don't think about going right now." Immediately, it will take a few years for the operation to be effective, and you will be solid, starting from our business, and slowly developing towards the goal you want. Whether it is food, grass and horses, or raising soldiers, they all need silver! Let's take our time, run it first, and slowly set up the Grange racecourse business, and when he seeks this release, everything will fall into place. Of course, you can't just know how to punch and kick, and ask the old man for advice on arranging the formation! ”

Zhang Hui hurriedly smiled: "I know, you can rest assured, when everything is ready, how can I let my leadership be incompetent and defeat the good situation!" Then he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What can Shandong do?" ”

"There are ships in Shandong." Shen Rui smiled faintly and squinted slightly, "Overseas, there are still widows, and there is a wider world." ”

Zhang Hui touched his nose and said: "I really don't know anything about naval warfare, it's just that, the good things in the world can't be taken up at one time, I'd better plan Liaodong first." ”

Shen Rui joked: "You know the trade-off. ”

Zhang Hui said with a smile: "Isn't it, there is something to do, something not to do." ”

At this time, the depression in his chest was swept away, and the sky in front of him was wide and wide, let it be used, Zhang Hui stood on the high slope and raised his arms and let out a long roar, only feeling extremely happy.

And the stamina of the half bag of wine that was poured down also followed, he shook his head, and said: "Shen Er, I won't go back today, go to sleep on your Zhuangzi first, and when the wine wakes up, let's talk about this Liaodong again." ”

Shen Rui didn't drink less, but his head was a little heavy, and he smiled immediately: "Go back quickly, I'm afraid that the horse won't be able to ride a little later!" ”

On June 20, the second son of the British Mansion married the sixth girl of Wujingbo's Mansion. Although it is not as pompous as the grandchildren's marriage, it is also a huge scene.

Everyone in the world knows that Wu Jingbo's mansion is rich, and Wu Jingbo in Nanjing has also been impeached for his extravagant style. It is said that there are hundreds of baskets of happy money scattered out by Wujingbo Mansion alone, and the people in the side of the fang came here to join in the excitement and ask for this lottery.

Wu Jingbo was favored by the first emperor, and now the prince is in the vanguard of the army, and he is also a figure who can be counted in front of the little emperor, and the second son of the British Mansion married by Zhao Liu's girl is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so there are really many people who come to the banquet to flatter.

The upper-class people in Beijing all knew that there was a conflict between the six girls of Zhao Liu at the banquet and the girls of the Hou Mansion of Shouning, and there was no figure of the Zhao family in the second girl of the Hou Mansion of Shouning and the ceremony.

Now that Miss Zhao Liu is out of the cabinet, the Hou Mansion of Shouning will naturally not come, and the Queen Mother in the palace has not expressed the slightest expression.

However, the Empress Dowager rewarded a pair of rare red jade bracelets to add makeup, and the eldest princess of Chun'an, the eldest princess of Deqing, etc., all came to Wujingbo's Mansion to congratulate, and Wujingbo's Mansion still gained great face.

Not to mention that the red makeup of ten miles on this day was very lively, but it was said that Brother Shou really did not go to the British Mansion where "acquaintances gathered" to join in the excitement, but slipped to Xiang'an Village.

Shen Rui took Brother Shou into the village, thinking that Brother Shou was not able to join in the excitement and sullenness, so he came to his side to relax.

I didn't want Brother Shou to sit there, so he sent everyone down, and even Liu Zhong didn't stay.

Shen Rui couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly wondered if the little emperor had something important to say.

But he heard Brother Shou's interesting voice and said, "I heard that Zhang Hui came to you before?" What did they talk about? ”

The voice was clear and clear, like a curious child's question.

But when he heard this, Shen Rui's heart suddenly chilled.

When he first met Brother Shou, it was a coincidence, and in the relationship with Brother Shou, Shen Rui did not mean to hug his thighs and win the favor of the emperor for the Shen family.

With the contact with Brother Shou, as more and more people participate in Brother Shou's decision-making, Shen Rui has unconsciously regarded himself as a member of Brother Shou's small team, and his relationship with Brother Shou is not only like a leader and a subordinate, but also like a friend.

Especially, Brother Shou is still a little boy much younger than him after all.

Of course, since Brother Shou ascended the throne, he gradually showed the emperor's mental skills, and Shen Rui always reminded himself that thinking about the unpredictability of the sacred heart and the majesty of the emperor, but because of his closeness, he still inevitably blurred the boundaries sometimes.

At this time, when Brother Shou asked about this sentence, Shen Rui was also suddenly shocked to realize that the person in front of him was already a monarch, an out-and-out emperor.

The day before yesterday, Dongchang cut Zhang Ming's job and sent him back to the British government, and all aspects of Beijing will keep an eye on the movements of the British government.

The British public reacted quickly and immediately asked for guilt. Zhang Hui ran out of the city in anger.

Zhang Hui did not hide it at all along the way, and it was normal for him to fall into the ears of the emperor.

But Zhang Huimen found a wilderness to talk openly, and successfully got rid of Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies......

The most terrible thing is not that those spies heard what you said, but that the emperor knew that you were out of the city in a bad mood, but he didn't know what you said.

Resentment is a taboo for a courtier! I have a grudge and hope that the emperor will dare to use it.

Especially close ministers.

In an instant, many thoughts quickly flashed through Shen Rui's mind, and he was secretly shocked that he hadn't thought through this before.

But he reacted quite quickly, "Hey, Zhang Hui feels faceless." Especially at the beginning of this month, Wenhu got married, although it is a small family, it is lively and decent, and it is not inferior to the brothers, and he is about to get married, and he can't help but feel shameless and a little frustrated when he catches up with such a thing. ”

Brother Shou sneered, but he still said in that tone, without letting go of half a minute, and said: "Zhang Hui, this guy is just a comparison, when he was compared with the same week, and then he was compared with the tiger head and you." ”

Shen Rui only smiled: "Although we are from different backgrounds, we are all brothers in the end, and he is also a top player, so it's no wonder that he has a competitive heart." But I think this is also good, knowing that only when we are competitive can we be motivated, if we blindly avoid laziness, will we miss the emperor's errand. ”

The expression on Brother Shou's face softened, and he knocked lightly on the case, and said with emotion: "Among the children of the noble family, Zhang Hui can be regarded as a motivated person. But he then asked, "What?" Did he mention to you about going out? ”

This Zhang will! How can you still show that you want to let it out!

"Wise, Your Majesty." Shen Rui complained in his heart that Zhang Hui couldn't hold his breath, and he could only smile bitterly in his mouth.

Zhang Hui lived in Xiang'an Village for a night, even if he went out to run a horse and talk, he also had an hour, and he couldn't always talk about things like losing face.

Let's talk about release. It's just that running Liaodong is to operate for the emperor and seek a future for his own family, and other things are tacit, and he can't say it on the table.

Then Shen Rui added and subtracted and said: "I won't tell you, you also know the situation of his family, Zhang Hui is self-motivated, and he naturally wants to have a chance to make meritorious contributions when he learns literary and martial arts." He also said that now that he is married, he is also a top family, and he can't just rely on the merits of his ancestors to eat the old bottom, he also wants to share worries for the emperor and serve the court. I think it's always good for him to want to be motivated, but now he is young and lacks experience, so I persuaded him to learn more from his husband, read more military books and boil his body, and have more experience. ”

Brother Shou high-fived and said, "That's right!" He's anxious, isn't I anxious? I wish you could all be of great use as soon as possible. But how old is he, what can he do now when he is let out? ”

But this is true.

Shen Rui hurriedly leaned over and thanked the emperor for his letter.

Before he could bow down, Brother Shou grabbed his arm and pulled him up, complaining: "Get up, don't follow the old master's example, our monarchs and ministers get along, isn't it a good story." ”

Shen Rui hurriedly smiled and got up, but he still couldn't stop thanking him.

The atmosphere in the room became relaxed, Brother Shou took a few sips of tea, tasted a piece of dim sum, pouted and said: "The British public can be literate and martial, but the son is a little worse, but the son is not a master, and he is a martial artist, unruly, I have walked through these places outside the palace, and I don't know their virtues!" It's superfluous for Zhang Hui to be idle about this matter, who would look down on the British government because of such a person, and look down on the people around him? ! ”

This seems to be a complaint, but it is actually appeasement, and to appease Zhang Hui through Shen Rui's mouth is also to appease the British government.

Shen Rui said yes again and again, and he also put his mind at ease, saying that he would also persuade Zhang Hui not to drill the horns.

Brother Shou nodded and said, "He doesn't have to rush to clear up his involvement, I still hope that he will sharpen his talents and take on great responsibilities." ”

Shen Rui was just about to reply, but he heard Brother Shou say again: "As long as he is cautious, things like his uncle will not fall on him, and he doesn't have to be suspicious." ”

Shen Rui couldn't take what he said, his body was slightly stiff, in fact, it was inevitable that Zhang Hui would have a factory guard sitting by his side, but he didn't know about this Uncle Zhang Hui's family affairs...... Did Brother Shou think of it himself, or was his voice louder yesterday, revealing a word and falling into the ears of the detective.

How could the close ministers of the Son of Heaven not be guarded, this is normal, but these tailwind ears are still creepy.

And Brother Shou's words are not easy to accept, but he can't help but accept them.

Shen Rui retracted his expression, solemnly agreed, and then sighed: "The emperor also knows that saying, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Zhang Hui and I are also generally troubled, each with its own difficulties, and I can't help but sigh when I say it. The emperor's lesson is that our two little sons are angry......"

It's hard to talk about the British government, it's always good to explain one or two things from your own words.

just talked about his own family, but unexpectedly thought of Brother Shou's future.

The throne of the Zhu family has many twists and turns, far from the battle of Jingjing, and there is a change in the recent seizure of the door, and just sixteen years later, Wuzong, the famous lascivious emperor in history, did not leave his own heirs, and in the end, the throne fell next to the king.

After the great ceremony, the succession is not the heir, Wuzong is equal to the heir, the Empress Dowager Zhang and the queen are not treated well, and the relatives of the Zhang family are soon imprisoned.

And what kind of abyss did Jiajing and his children and grandchildren bring Daming into!

If Wu Zong has a biological son, where will it be Jiajing's turn!

Faced with such a bleak future that is not very distant in the future, how can he pretend not to know and pretend to be calm?

An inexplicable emotion suddenly rose in his heart, and he wanted to catch Brother Shou and say, you have to have a son! For yourself, for the sake of Daming, you must have a son!

It's ridiculous to think about it, what position does he have to say such things to the emperor in his current status, and how dare he talk about the future in front of the fifteen-year-old little emperor.

Shen Rui smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "I also have feelings, and I talked more about family affairs with Second Brother Zhang." Speaking of which, my family ...... The ancestors were burdened by the original heirs and successors to Beijing, and there were many twists and turns in the heirs of the father and uncle, and ...... The Shen family is not harmonious. ”

He seemed to laugh at himself and muttered: "The emperor has never seen it, in this market, there are heirs, and the heirs and heirs have to fight." Those who have no heirs are afraid that they will suffer more, and the world will choose the younger ones, that is, they are afraid that the older ones will only recognize their biological parents and make wedding clothes for others in the future......"

In history, the future of Wuzong could not be said directly, so he had to say it through the mouth of his heir, which seemed real, and would not make the smart and sensitive Brother Shou suspicious to the top of resentment and the like.

He only hopes that Brother Yiri Shou can remember one or two and get an heir, and it is not in vain that he takes the risk of "reminding" him today.

Brother Shou stared at Shen Rui with good eyes, listening to his words, because he knew all kinds of things in his family, he felt that he really felt it, sighed, his expression relaxed, and said comfortingly: "The Shen family's scholarly family is a family of rules, only a big tree will inevitably have dead branches, since you can see it, why bother to suffer yourself." ”

Shen Rui bowed and said, "It's me who is in love, please forgive your majesty for your sins......"

Brother Shou waved his hand and said, "What sins are forgiven, how can there be so many sins." That's it, don't talk about these unhappy people, since you have come out, go to your garden, and you want to eat something special at noon! As he spoke, he walked over there and complained, "You said that the horse farm was repaired, but why hasn't it been repaired yet......?"

Shen Rui couldn't help laughing, Brother Shou was still a half-old child, and he was also anxious.

The two walked out of the upper room with a smile, and Liu Zhong and Yiying, who were waiting outside, greeted them.

Brother Shou nodded and called Liu Zhong over, whispered a few words, and Fang took the Suihu stride to the garden.

Liu Zhong took two steps behind and glanced at Shen Rui as if he was nothing.

Shen Rui understood and slowed down.

Widening the distance, Liu Zhong still respectfully lowered his hands and steps, as if following his master, his eyes did not squint, but his lips moved slightly, and his voice was quite low, "Hengyun, recently there is an excerpt of Xiao Shen Zhuangyuan, who is not strict in keeping the family, and the dignified Zhuangyuan Mansion is run by a concubine." ”

Shen Rui subconsciously looked up to see Brother Shou's back, because outside the palace, Brother Shou didn't pay attention to any royal manners, and he still looked like a teenager when he walked.

Liu Zhong categorically did not dare to pass on such news to himself privately, it must have been instructed by Brother Shou.

Brother Shou didn't say it himself, I don't know if it was because Shen Ruifang mentioned the words of the concubine, heir, etc., and what is the extraneous sound of Brother Shou's instructions......?

In particular, Shen Rui didn't hear the news of Shen Jin's impeachment.

In fact, Shen Rui already knew about Aunt Zheng's return from Baoding.

It's just that this biological son wants to get married, and his mother comes to help with the cooking, which is also human nature, and it is an aunt who has gone down to the house, unless this kind of thing is the head of the family who comes out to say, it is not very manageable in the clan, not to mention that the second room is still separated from the head of the house.

Regarding Shen Jin's marriage, Shen Rui and Xu have a general attitude, and they don't want to interfere in the slightest, and his mother and son are even more lazy to pay attention to Aunt Zheng.

And Aunt Zheng over there is also quite self-aware, probably considering her son's reputation, she came back quietly this time, and did not live in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, but only rented a small courtyard near the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and entered the mansion from the back corner door every day to take care of one or two.

I don't know how I can still be targeted by Yushi like this.

This imperial history, in the end, is it to give Shen Jin no face, and also to Shouning Houfu? !

The daughter of the Hou Mansion of Shouning got married, and the Zhuangyuan Mansion asked a lower aunt to handle the wedding, no matter how you look at it, it is to provoke the relationship between the in-laws.

And what does Brother Shou mean? Is it happy to see the Shouning Marquis Mansion fold face, or is it ......

Shen Rui replied cautiously: "My lord, the marriage of the Jin clan brother has been decided, so the Li clan brother wrote a letter back to the clan, asking the Jin clan brother's mother to go to Beijing to handle the marriage. ”

The implication is that the serious master mother will come soon, and the concubine will act arrogantly, and it won't be too long.

Liu Zhong tilted his head slightly, glanced at Shen Rui, let out a light sigh, and said, "Hengyun, the clan should still restrain the children, so that it is a sign of prosperity." ”

Shen Rui couldn't help but have a headache, this is to let him take care of Shen Jin's matter, it can be seen that the emperor still has a heart to protect the Zhang family. Also, I'm afraid that this is that I can say that my relatives are not good, but I don't allow others to bully me.

Shen Rui could only straighten his clothes, and said solemnly: "Master Xie mentions, the Shen family must strictly restrain the children......"

Liu Zhong let out a soft snort of approval in his nose, and said: "First Shen Shangshu's family is upright, and your room should be the head of the Shen family." ”

Shen Rui couldn't help but be stunned.

Liu Zhong no longer looked at Shen Rui, and his voice was also ethereal, but he said: "Hengyun, the children of the Shen family, Zhilan Yushu are full of talents, and you also know that the imperial court is thirsty for talents, Your Majesty is trustworthy, and you should live up to the emperor's grace." ”

The Shen family has been a scholar and dozens of people in the past hundred years, although the highest in the officialdom is only four grades, but there are no less than twenty people with official bodies, and there are two champions in the past ten years, which are not comparable to the top hairpin family, but they are definitely first-class scholars.

Little Emperor, there may not be any need for these low-level officials to do anything now, but if they fall as an idle move, they may not be needed in the future.

And the premise of being able to use it is that these people are in their own hands.

It's just that these two champions, one is the son-in-law of Xie Gelao, and the other is the son-in-law of Shou Ninghou.

Brother Shou wanted him Shen Rui to stand up and restrain the Shen clan and prevent the Shen clan from falling to the side of the forces.

Shen Rui smiled bitterly, his voice was almost inaudible, "Uncle Shi...... But I look at Rui. ”

Liu Zhong heard the word uncle, sighed slightly, shook his head, and lowered his voice: "Hengyun, you only work hard." ”

Shen Rui was silent for a long time, and Fang nodded yes.

When Shen Rui sent Brother Shou away and returned to the Shen Mansion, he had to discuss Shen Jin's affairs with the Xu family.

An inner house woman like Aunt Zheng can only be cooked by the Xu family.

The Xu family has been accompanied by Zhang Qingbai's mother and daughter these days, and there has been a lot of joy, and the family affairs have been entrusted to the He family, and the future daughter-in-law Yang Tian over there has gradually improved, and she is in a good mood, and her spirit is much stronger than before.

When Shen Rui arrived at the upper room, Xu was personally tying a small flower stand with thin bamboo strips in the courtyard.

Shen Rui hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and came over to help.

Xu smiled: "You don't have to, I don't need them." As he spoke, he took a handkerchief from the hands of the smiling maids beside him and wiped his hands, and Shen Rui helped him to walk in, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Although Shen Rui came in with a smile, after being a mother and son for a long time, Xu still saw a faint unhappiness between Shen Rui's eyebrows.

The maids knew that Shen Rui must have something to do, so they quietly retreated after serving tea.

Shen Ruifang informed the Xu family of what Liu Zhong said after Brother Shou's visit, of course, the topic of the heir of the concubine with Brother Shou was not mentioned with the Xu family before.

Xu frowned and thought for a long time, but still shook his head slightly and said: "In fact, we are filial piety, and it is not appropriate to come forward, but your third aunt has a soft temperament, and Brother Li's daughter-in-law is the junior, and it is not easy to take care of the affairs of the elders in the fourth room." I ask you to work hard for Aunt Yuwu, and then let my mother-in-law Zhou follow. ”

Although Shen Yu's wife has no fate, and she is a side branch of the clan, she is the only one who is older in Beijing.

Shen Rui responded, and sighed secretly, there are too few clansmen in Beijing, and he really can't do it, so he has to write back to ask Shen Ying to persuade some clansmen to go north. After all, the business in Liaodong, Shandong is in full bloom, and someone must take care of it.

Because of his shrewdness and ability, Shen Chun has followed Lu Erqilang to Liaodong, and the central part of Beijing is temporarily taken care of by Shen Yu and Shen Chen, but Shandong is still short of people.

"Counting the days, the people in the fourth room will arrive in a few days." Xu Shi signaled that Shen Rui didn't have to worry, and then said: "When Gongpot is delivered, there will be no major matter, this external matter, you hand it over to your fifth uncle Yu and Brother Chen to do, if not, ask Wufang to find someone in the clan, and you yourself should focus on your homework." ”

Although she still had a gentle expression on her face, her tone was already solemn, "Brother Rui, my Shen family, there is no one who is fortunate enough to enter." You have a fate, or you can help your career, but it is not the foundation of what you rely on. I know that you are worried about the current situation of the family, and you are worried that there is no pillar to support the family, but my Shen family has not fallen for a hundred years, not by one or two scholars, but by virtue of the enterprising children, and has repeatedly become famous in the field! ”

Shen Rui was respectful, hurriedly got up and stood with his hands down, and said seriously: "What my mother taught me is that my son is frivolous. ”

Xu Shi looked at him, with satisfaction and pride on his face, "Where is my son frivolous!" It's really too smart, too heavy-minded. Brother Rui, although you are already the pillar of our family, but you are not as weak as the crown, don't always be in a hurry to finish everything in those decades! ”

Shen Rui's heart was warm, and he muttered, "Mother......"

Xu lovingly pulled Shen Rui, patted him, and said earnestly: "It is the luck of my family that the emperor's trust is important, but some things are not achieved in a while. You are down-to-earth, do what you can do now, have the gold list, and set up a good foundation, and you will not accumulate steps to thousands of miles...... This road, and it's still long! ”

Shen Rui held his mother's emaciated and old wrinkled hand, looked at her gray sideburns, nodded heavily, and said, "Mother rest assured, the son will definitely not let his mother down!" ”

On June 26, Zhang and Shen Rui had made an appointment to take Zhao Tong to visit Zhuangshang, but it was temporarily canceled.

The next day, Shen Ruifang learned that the emperor decreed that Zhang Hui's official was promoted, and the reason for his reason was that Wuxun's children were enshrined in the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households, and now they have been promoted to Deputy Thousand Households.

The court and the Chinese people all thought that the little emperor was appeasing the British prince, and they all knew that the punishment of the third son of the British prince was not light, and the British prince expressed his position in a timely manner, which was praised by the cabinet and the emperor.

It's just that there are words from the inner court that Wang Yue is very dissatisfied.

Everyone thought that Wang Yue's nephew was also convicted, and the British government was appeased, but Wang Yue had nothing, and they were quite "understanding" of this dissatisfaction.

Soon, the matter was overshadowed by another, bigger and more important thing.

On the second day of the seventh month, Xia Rujin of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei was the commander of the envoy and sought to enter the governor of the Chinese army.

This Xia Ru was just a cloth cloth before, because his daughter Xia was elected to the palace, and he was enshrined in brocade clothes and guarded hundreds of households. At that time, there were also two other Wu family members selected in the palace, Wu Rang and Shen Chuan, the fathers of the Shen family.

Because the Wu family is a relative of Mrs. Shouninghou, and the Empress Dowager Zhang took the initiative to move the palace, and the Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang repaired the Kunning Palace with silver, everyone in the world thought that the Wu family was going to enter the middle palace.

Now, it was Xia's father who was awarded the title first!

Although he did not enjoy the title of the queen's mother family like this, the Chinese military governor and the governor of the palace were enough to make his identity clear!

The position of the queen, the heavenly family belongs to the Xia family!

This caused an uproar in the DPRK and China.

The queen mother in the palace has not moved, but when she saw the completion of the Kunning Palace repair project, she immediately stopped, how could the Shouning Marquis Mansion be willing to be this wronged boss!

The cabinet is happy to see this choice come to fruition, who would want the Zhang family to have another queen!

And the Hanwen of the household department also saw the opportunity to once again criticize the Zhang family and the Zhou family, who had "lost the sacred heart".

However, this time Han Wen miscalculated, and only three days later, the little emperor issued an edict to let Zhang and Zhou still make up for it according to the decree of the first emperor.

Although there were many voices of protest in the DPRK and China, the four words "the will of the first emperor" were suppressed, and no one dared to refute them for a while.

Then well-informed people knew that the Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace was "once infected with wind and cold and bedridden", but fortunately, the treatment was timely and soon recovered, and then the day of the emperor's wedding was also set to be sacrificed to the Heaven and Earth Temple on July 17, and the name ceremony was held on July 20, and the book was issued on August 11 to welcome the ceremony.

If the Queen Mother is "sick", the wedding will be postponed.

It was about the wrestling between mother and son, and in the end the queen mother "recovered", and the emperor may have Zhang Jiayan to attract silver, not to let the Zhang family have no money.

The cabinet knew the reason for the inside, and it was silent, and the household department was dissatisfied.

When there was an edict in the palace to dispose of 400,000 taels of silver and send it to the inner carrier warehouse for the big wedding flowers, the household department directly said that the Taicang silver taels were only 430,000, and the storage of the headquarters was only more than 80,000.

Immediately afterwards, the various departments gave the matter and supervised the imperial history one after another, criticizing the Taicang silver for being empty due to rewards and borrowing, and saying that the 400,000 taels were too huge, and it was probably the inner attendant who relied on the wedding to seek the clouds unabsolutely.

The DPRK and China immediately set off a monstrous wave of impeachment of internal officials again.

The little emperor was silent, the household was crying poor, he didn't urge, and the court impeached the internal officials, and he didn't send it.

The household department knew that the little emperor was rich because of the previous raid of the house, and when he saw him sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, he bit him to death and refused to pay the 400,000 taels of silver.

At this time, although the Shen family's tribute cotton cloth from Songjiang to the north was sent to the palace, it was never settled because it did not allocate money.

At the same time, there were many novelties that Shen Rui bought for Brother Shou.

Brother Shou saw the machine and his own people, mud punching arhats and other things, as well as the festive cloth style of **, he was very happy, and also asked about the matter of Gongbu, and when he heard Liu Zhong say that he had not settled, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "What's the matter, now the silver of the tribute is going to be dragged down?" Shen Rui is thinking about me, I can't let him suffer, you go and talk to Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, let them first allocate the silver from the inner library and settle it with Shen Rui. ”

Now Gu Dayong has taken charge of the internal official supervision.

Liu Zhong hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the slave maid should not be a messenger, but when Shen Rui asked the slave and maid to send these small things into the palace, there was a word, saying that the name of the Songjiang cotton cloth royal tribute was given by the emperor Shanglong, which has benefited the people of Songjiang and the Shen family a lot, and this tribute to Beijing coincided with the emperor's wedding, just to congratulate the emperor." ”

His voice lowered a little lower, and said: "Although he is loyal, he doesn't want to be regarded as flattering, and he asks the emperor to just don't know, this batch of cloth is still handed over to the inner court as tribute, and the settlement will drag on for a while, and no one will pay attention to it." ”

Brother Shou was holding a clay arhat in his hand that used the white crane's bright wings, and he saw that the clay man stared at his eyebrows and opened his mouth, as if he was shouting, stretching his arms and hooking his legs, his movements were realistic and in place, and even the folds of his clothes were carved carefully, as if moving with the wind, which was really lifelike.

He suddenly grinned and said, "This Shen Rui also knows that I am short of silver in the ring with Hubu at this time, so I have to honor these, but he has a heart, this time and first." You go and pass on my message to the internal officials and supervisors, and in the future, the Shen family's tributes will be settled on time, and no arrears will be deducted! ”

He also instructed: "Remember for me, in September, I will release money ingots to Liaodong again, and this time the military uniform will be handled by the Shen family Songjiang Weaving Factory." ”

Liu Zhong hurriedly bowed to Shen Rui and thanked him.

As soon as the title of the royal cloth came out, the business of the Songjiang Shenjia Weaving Factory was immediately prosperous several times, and now the cloth merchants from the north and south have come to order goods, and the Shenjia Weaving Factory has expanded the plant is also in short supply, and other weaving factories of the local clans in Songjiang have also borrowed money to make a fortune.

In addition, the cloth village established by Jingzhong and the Zhao family earned the silver of the rich family without an official, and the business in Liaodong, Shandong Province was finalized, and a large amount of orders were also placed.

This cotton weaving factory became prosperous, and at the same time, it also promoted the production of handicrafts, planting and other industries like a great leap forward, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it stimulated the local economy.

The profits obtained by the Shen family's industries are probably in the amount of 100,000!

Although this batch of Kampot also had a value of 20,000 or 30,000 taels, it was really an astronomical amount according to the per capita living standard at that time, but it was really nothing compared to the income of the Shen family.

Shen Rui naturally knew that Brother Shou was not short of private money in his hands, but the household department was pressing Brother Shou, and he always had to express his support for Brother Shou, and Brother Shou didn't know the specific number of the Shen family's profits, and he also knew that the Shen family had gained a lot, so it was better for him to take the initiative to be generous.

You don't see, just every year on Halloween's Birthday and the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday, those officials who are not thousands of taels smashed down to hollow out their minds to buy birthday gifts, and now it is the wedding of Brother Shou, and he Shen Rui's filial piety should also be.

It's just that he didn't want to bear the infamy, so Liu Zhong told Brother Shou in private, and he just smiled quietly.

But he didn't think about it, Brother Shou really didn't be polite to him, he smiled happily, but he changed hands and rewarded him for participating in the purchase of Liaodong military uniforms, and the benefits were far more than the idea of tribute! But Shen Rui didn't know what to say, in all fairness, Brother Shou's righteousness was also true.

On Brother Shou's side, it seems that Kampot has made a good start, and the days after that have become more and more smooth, and the silver has also come with legs.

On July 16, Zhu Xiu, the former eunuch of the town, was escorted back to Beijing along with his family property, and Cen Zhang, the current eunuch of the town, also confiscated the two families who were in cahoots with Zhu Xiu, and the total amount of silver was 174,600 taels.

The money that this internal official is greedy for ink has all become internal money.

On July 21, news came from Nanjing that Wang Shouren led a naval army to suppress the Banyang Sand Pirates in Chongming County, Suzhou Prefecture, and captured 53 people, including Shen Yue, the head of the thieves, and killed 200 thieves. The thieves Shi Tianjie and Niu Xishan were defeated, and led more than 360 people to surrender.

This Shi Tianjie, Niu Xishan and others are the most powerful group of pirates in Suzhou, who gathered more than 1,000 people at the risk of the river and the ocean, controlled weapons, killed patrols, and looted. At the beginning of the first year of Zhengde, the local government asked the military department to send troops to suppress it, and the military department sent governors and other officials to pay attention to the arrest.

When Wang Shouren arrived at the Nanjing Military Department, the first thing he did when he took office was to rectify the sailors and suppress the pirates.

There was a previous battle of bandits in Taihu Lake, and the gangs begging for life on the waterway all knew Wang Shouren's prestige, this time Wang Shouren led the troops again, the thieves were all frightened, and as soon as the battle began, the sailor captured Shen Yue and others, Shi Tianjie's subordinates, and killed nearly 200 bandits, Shi Tianjie and others were horrified.

During this period, the governor of the imperial Shi Aipu bribed the spies to make a discordant plan, so that several leaders within the gang killed each other, first Shi Tianjie's second brother Tianchang and his wife led the crowd to surrender, then Shi Tianjie was even more suspicious, so he panicked to surrender.

And Shi Tianjie's younger brother Tiantai, Niu Xishan's brother Niu Dongshan, and his subordinate Cai Tingmao and several others were at odds with Tianchang before, but they took advantage of the chaos to lead their subordinates to defect to the sea and disappeared.

Wang Shouren did not blindly pursue, first swept a few bandit nests, and then carried out some defenses, so that the pirates could not return to chaos.

In one fell swoop, the bandits were quelled, and nearly 80,000 taels of stolen silver were seized.

When the news came back to the court, the ministers who had previously complained about Wang Shouren as the squire of the Nanjing Military Department all shut up.

Brother Shou couldn't help but be happy, this Shen Ruizhi was grateful, Cen Zhang under Zhang Yong was neat, Wang Shouren lived up to his high expectations, Brother Shou was happy and proud, and he felt that his vision was extraordinary, and the people he liked were really capable.

And I don't know if the big wedding is imminent, the little emperor is getting closer and closer to the government, or this victory makes the little emperor more confident, when the emperor took advantage of this victory to reward Wang Shouren and the Nanjing Navy soldiers, even the poor household who has been crying dare not jump out and say that there is no money to pay the reward.

And because he had just sacrificed to the Temple of Heaven and Earth to perform the Nacai ceremony, he got the news of the victory of the bandits, and I don't know when the future queen Xia was a blessed person in this palace.

The imperial historians were most dissatisfied with such a statement, and they held back their strength to find trouble with their relatives Xia's family.

It's a pity that Xia Ru is timid by nature, and after winning the official title of daughter, not only did he not be arrogant, but he became more and more cautious, almost closed his door, and he didn't let the imperial historians find a place to speak.

Brother Shou listened to the report of the factory guard, and laughed in the hall.

The palace is all watching, this Xia clan has robbed the Wu family's throne and is not liked by the queen mother, if the emperor is annoyed by the rumors of this blessed man, it is useless to be the queen.

However, the emperor didn't seem to be angry because of the rumors, and many palace maids quietly adjusted their attitude towards the queen.

On August 11, the Son of Heaven got married, and the whole world celebrated.

After the ceremonies came down, Brother Shou was already impatient, and finally sent into the cave room, and the palace maid waited for the emperor to change his clothes, and was driven down by Brother Shou.

Brother Shou spread out on the dragon bed, breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his arms to look at his queen.

The bride has a tuddled face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks even younger than in the painting.

She seemed to be very scared, her whole body was trembling slightly, but she seemed to be trying her best to control it, and she took out a dignified posture, but she didn't dare to look at Brother Shou.

Brother Shou felt bored in his heart, and asked casually, "What's your name?" ”

The hall was so quiet that only the slight sound of the candle bursting remained, and the Xia family was highly nervous, but suddenly heard the sound, and his body trembled.

Brother Shou was pleased by this rabbit-like behavior, and laughed out loud.

Xia was even more embarrassed, almost crying, but he didn't forget to reply, but his voice was almost inaudible, "Minnu...... Slave...... Concubine ......"

For a while, she couldn't remember any of the rules that her grandmother taught her.

Tears hung on her eyelashes, this little family Jasper had never experienced any big scenes before, even if she came out of the palace, she would be raised for a few months, and it would be impossible to completely train her into a qualified queen. She was so frightened at the moment that she was about to slide off the bed and kneel on the ground.

Brother Shou's eyes were quick, and he subconsciously grabbed her little hand to prevent her from falling, he wanted to complain, but the fleshy little hand was soft and boneless in his hand, and it was abnormally soft.

He lowered his head to see, this hand was much worse than the slender jade hands of those young beauties he had seen, but it was particularly white and tender, and like a doll, the back of the hand was fat out of a small pit, and he wanted people to take a bite.

Suddenly, those boredoms were gone, Brother Shou looked at Xia's big eyes full of tears with a smile, and said softly: "What are you afraid of, just say it." ”

Xia was held by the emperor's hand, and suddenly remembered the incident in the room where the grandmother was raised, her face turned into a big red cloth, her heart was pounding, and the water in her eyes was even stronger...... The concubine was born on the night of the full moon of June 15...... My grandfather named her Yueying...... My father and mother called me...... Call the concubines to reunite. ”

Brother Shou looked at her fleshy cheeks, her face like a full moon, and laughed loudly, "Good, good, this name is excellent." ”

Xia Shi saw him laughing, and most of his apprehension was put down, and he barely pursed his lips and squeezed out a smile, I don't know if it was because of her fatness, the dimples on her cheeks were deeper than others, and she looked particularly happy.

Brother Shou pulled her closer to him, unconsciously reached out and poked her face, looking at her slightly plump body.

The Empress Dowager said that this was a girl with a suitable male appearance, and the Empress Dowager said that the heir was the foundation of the country.

The brothers around him, in addition to Gao Wenhu, the rest are Zhang Hui, Cai Liang, You Xuan, and Shen Rui...... Which one doesn't have a little trouble at home.

He himself, after Zheng Jinlian's incident, has not doubted his life experience.

Among his concubines, there is also a relative of the Zhang family, a woman who is too smart.

Sister-in-law. Heir. Guoben.

Looking at the fat girl in front of him who was a little stunned, a little straightforward, but full of awe, Brother Shou squinted his eyes, chuckled, poked his fingers into her deep dimples, and said with a smile: "Reunion is really an excellent name, in the future, in private, I will call you Reunion." ”
