2. Refuse to marry the royal family
Listening to Shen Wansan's words, Shen Conghe smiled, with his father Shen Wansan's words, it seems that his future life may be better, although he did not have a strong golden finger as written in the novel, but it is not bad to have a very influential mother to bless it.

"Eat more later, take care of your complexion, and tomorrow I will send you to Nanjing for my father to meet Princess Yongle." Shen Wansan said happily that there was nothing more joyful than the return of his favorite son, the prodigal son.
Shen Cong was stunned: "Dad, what do you mean by this, Princess Yongle?" If he remembers correctly, Princess Yongle is the favorite daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, and it can be said that she is loved by thousands of people, but she didn't expect this princess to intersect with herself so soon.
Shen Wansan pulled him to sit down and said: "That's the case, son, your sister said in front of the emperor that she has a younger brother who is eighteen this year, so His Majesty the Emperor Longyan Dayue wants to meet you and see if you are suitable for the princess, tomorrow we will go to Nanjing, you have to behave well, and strive to marry Princess Yongle home, so that our family business can be more prosperous." ”
Listening to his father's words, Shen Cong's brows were tightly locked, it seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to make a move against the Shen family, and he let himself catch up.
Now it is the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the treasury is empty and waiting to be rebuilt, the difference is money, and Zhu Yuanzhang is a peasant, what he hates most is the rich landlords, and he will definitely open a knife to the rich, and now the Shen family, as the richest man in Suzhou and even the richest man in the country, wants to escape the eyes of the emperor, it is almost impossible.
Shen, who was originally in a good mood, was extremely depressed at the moment, but he didn't expect to encounter this incident just now, the emperor wanted to compete with the Shen family, and the ending of the Shen family in history was that the whole family was assigned to Yunnan, and all the property was confiscated.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang wants to grab property with himself, it depends on whether he agrees or not, and finally has a rich family, Shen Cong will definitely not give up easily, he doesn't want to have no food and no clothes to wear in this era, Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor of a country, he is a big fish and big meat every day, and if the Shen family encounters an accident, then they will face poverty and whiteness, and it may even be killed.
Shen Wansan saw Shen Cong's brows tightened, and couldn't help but be stunned: "My son, aren't you happy?" ”
Shen Cong sighed and said: "There are certain things that the child knows not to say, but the child still wants to say that the child thinks that Princess Yongle can marry anywhere, but she can't marry into the Shen family." ”
Hearing this, Shen Wansan was stunned: "Why did my son say this?" ”
Shen Cong thought about it calmly before saying, "Dad, you said Your Majesty, why do you want to take your sister as a concubine?" ”
Shen Wansan laughed and said, "As a father, I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this little thing?" When His Majesty got into trouble, his father supported his sworn enemy, I thought that he would definitely open a knife to our family after becoming the emperor, who would have thought that he would take the initiative to accept your sister as a concubine, and at the same time also awarded your eldest brother an official position, our Shen family has received great honor, it seems that His Majesty is not a person with a small belly. ”
"Your sister sent a message to say, now she is not bad in the palace, if you can marry the emperor's daughter Princess Yongle again, this is a kiss and a kiss, then your sister will be able to get greater favor in the palace, and our Shen family will be further prosperous because of this, for my father to think so, Princess Yongle is the most favored princess, if the Shen family and the emperor become children and daughters, then we will have a better life in the future."
"Dad, do you think it's possible? Princess Yongle, that's the proud daughter of the sky! How can we climb high? And does Dad think his sister's idea could come true? She didn't even recognize her status in the palace clearly, and she still wanted to compete for favor? I don't know if the whole family has to be buried with her. Shen Cong was dismissive of his sister's thoughts, there was an old saying: Women have long hair and short knowledge, Shen Cong was still quite disgusted with this sentence, but now it seems that this sentence still makes sense.
After listening to Shen Cong's words, Shen Wansan was a little annoyed: "What kind of bastard are you talking about, she is your sister, what are you talking nonsense?" ”
Shen Cong hurriedly slapped his father's back to relieve him: "Dad, think about it carefully, most of the concubines in His Majesty's harem are the daughters of ministers who followed His Majesty to fight the country, these ministers were born and died with His Majesty, and the family is fully qualified to support their daughters to fight for status in the harem, and our Shen family is not, in terms of status, we can't match those ministers at all, what's worse is that not only did we not support Your Majesty at the beginning, but also supported his rivals, do you think Your Majesty is really relieved?" And my sister's thing is too unpretty, this is pushing the Shen family to the cusp. ”
"Princess Yongle is the proud daughter of the sky, how many ministers and generals want to ask to marry, why did Your Majesty agree to our Shen family, there must be a reason for this."
Shen Cong couldn't wait to tell Shen Wansan the truth about the history, and the emperor wanted to attack the Shen family and ask him not to trust the emperor, but Shen Cong knew that he couldn't do this, and now he could only knock on the side, hoping that his father could understand, but Shen Cong's wishful thinking failed.
"This matter has to be discussed again, the father has made up his mind, and His Majesty is magnanimous, not the kind of person with a small belly, not to mention that he takes special care of our Shen family, and he wants to worship his father several times, and now our Shen family's business is also very easy to do under His Majesty's relationship, so you don't have to do more." Although Shen Wansan's son said it was very reasonable, he still couldn't believe it, was this his son? used to be full of women, how could he analyze things so neatly today, I am afraid that this kind of scheming is better than his brothers.
Of course, for Shen Wansan, if his son is promising, then he is naturally very proud of being a father, not to mention that this son is still the son of him and Zhao Xue'e, and the weight in his heart can naturally be imagined.
Shen Cong saw that his father was unmoved, and sighed helplessly, this kind of thing can only be discussed later, if he continues to talk about it, I am afraid that it will annoy his father, which is quite unfavorable for himself to involve the power of the Shen family in the future.
At present, I have to go to Nanjing to meet the emperor and Princess Yongle, if this Princess Yongle is really a good wife and mother, then marrying back can also be considered, and at the same time by the way to make friends with a few ministers who are friendly to the Shen family, anyway, I have come here, so the historical tragedy must not be repeated again.
