Rong Yao didn't know how the little son of the Sun family became the adopted son of the imperial merchant Beishen.

As for the purpose of the little boy's return to Huzhou this time......

Rong Yao didn't know very well, but it was obvious that he didn't come back to recognize his relatives.

On the surface, it is said that the imperial merchant Beishen almost monopolized the purchase of the Internal Affairs Office, and this time Young Master Xiao Shen came to Huzhou to personally choose silk.

This year coincides with the emperor's thirtieth birthday, and the palace has attached great importance to it, and what is even more remarkable is that when the emperor greeted the Empress Dowager Xiao, the Empress Dowager Xiao personally asked what to do and where to do the emperor's birthday banquet.

When Empress Dowager Xiao asked this, not only the palace, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also attached great importance to this birthday banquet.

Because, before Empress Dowager Xiao's question, she and the emperor hadn't spoken for eight years.

Eight years ago, King Wu entered Beijing at the order of the Empress Dowager, and at the banquet held by the Empress Dowager Xiao to welcome King Wu into Beijing, King Wu specially presented gifts to Empress Dowager Xiao and the emperor, but all those gifts went wrong, such as worms in the ginseng box, and the silk had been broken.

In particular, the lotus seeds, a specialty of Jingjun, which had been praised by Empress Dowager Xiao, were stained with blood.

After the gift box was opened, the ministers were in an uproar, and King Wu was even more frightened, and he couldn't even say anything about begging for mercy, trembling and tearful to accuse him.

Empress Dowager Xiao did not say a word of exculpation for King Wu, but asked the emperor to deal with it.

The emperor then killed King Wu in front of the Empress Dowager Xiao's bedroom on the charge of "great disrespect".

It is said that when the guards were executed, the emperor also smiled and said to the Empress Dowager Xiao, "Next time, the queen mother can't just find an obedient person, but also a capable one." ”

Since then, Empress Dowager Xiao has not spoken to the emperor.

The emperor who is not controlled is even more self-serving, and still does not go to court.

During this period, the ministers did not give up their efforts, but the methods used by the courtiers of all dynasties to restrain the emperor are completely useless to the current emperor.

Needless to say, the advice of the officials has troubled the financial power of countless emperors, and it has no impact on the emperor.

It is not easy to ask for silver from others, even if the emperor asks for silver from the household.

The ministers here are still speculating about the terms of negotiation with the emperor, and over there, the emperor has directly sent people to Ganjun to open a few new silver mines, which are designated as the private mines of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, the emperor also wants silver, but in this world, not only households have silver......

Didn't you say that under the whole world, it was not the king's land?

The ministers were dumbfounded and had nothing to say.

Rules can only bind those who follow the rules.

The Emperor is clearly not a rule-abiding man.

The ministers were distressed.

So when Empress Dowager Xiao revealed her intention to participate in the longevity banquet, the ministers were very excited.

This time, is Empress Dowager Xiao planning to advise the emperor? Or after eight years, she finally found the person who was both obedient and capable?

The ministers looked at the children of the clan in their hearts and felt that the latter was unlikely.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and Emperor Taizu was certainly a generation of arrogant heroes, but at the moment, the children of the clan were born in the rich and splendid pile, and grew up in the hands of the women in the back house, and most of them did not become a climate.

As for exhortation, there is little hope.

Empress Dowager Xiao is not a person who likes to do futile things, as can be seen from the fact that she did not speak to the emperor for eight years.

So, what exactly did Empress Dowager Xiao plan?

However, these are all things that the dignitaries and nobles worry about, and the big things fall into the hearts of silkworm farmers, embroiderers and businessmen in Huzhou, and it is still silk.

The silk personally selected by Young Master Shen is likely to be the dress worn by the Empress Dowager Xiao, the Emperor or the Empress Xiao at the Wanshou Banquet.

That will lead the fashion of the Great Zhou Dynasty and even go down in history.

For a time, the momentum of the competition among the silk merchants was even better than that of the time when King Wu came eight years ago.

Mrs. Sun is also high-spirited.

She was originally a very competitive person, and she was depressed for a few years after being frustrated when she was young, and because of the proper management of her business over the years, she said nothing in the Sun family, and her spirit as a girl gradually returned, she was not satisfied with maintaining the status quo, but wanted to be more profitable.

It is best that when the world talks about silk, they will talk about the Sun family in Huzhou and talk about her.

It would be in vain to associate her name with her favorite silk.

However, she is no longer young, if she can't seize this opportunity, the next time the opportunity comes, the head of the Sun family will not necessarily be her.

Because of Mrs. Sun's determination, the whole Sun Mansion was mentally prepared, especially the eldest young master from the Sun family, he probably felt that if the errand was done beautifully this time, Mrs. Sun and the big shopkeeper would recognize his ability, and then he would be able to take over the family business smoothly.

The Sun family's mansion is high-spirited, but unfortunately Young Master Shen doesn't appreciate it. After visiting the silk shop for a few days, Young Master Shen made an appointment with several big businessmen alone, and there was no Sun family among them.

Mrs. Sun didn't say anything, but everyone could see that she was unhappy.

Rong Yao doesn't know much about business, as for silk, as an embroidery girl, she said impartially, she thinks that the silk of the Sun family is indeed very good, the kind that is one of the best in Huzhou.

As for such a good silk, why can't Young Master Shen look down on it......

Rong Yao felt that this was normal, because Young Master Shen was the little son, and it was already rare for him not to retaliate against Mrs. Sun, how could he do business with the Sun family.

However, the rest of the Sun family obviously didn't figure out this section, and Rong Yao felt that they didn't even see that Young Master Shen was the little son.

Including his wife, who is a mother, I didn't see it.

It would be fine if Mrs. Sun had a big heart, but she was a very careful person, the Sun family went in and out of so much silk every year, she didn't even have to reach out and touch it, just look at it, and she probably knew it in her heart, but Young Master Shen stood in front of her, but she couldn't see that it was her son who died early eight years ago.

Rong Yao couldn't help but sigh a little when he thought of this.

But soon she didn't have the heart to sigh for others, because in order to make a business, Sun Dagongzi hit her with the idea, he said that the Sun family had raised her for so many years, and it was time for her to repay her kindness, and let her send another batch of goods to Young Master Shen on behalf of the Sun family.

Rong Yao felt that the eldest prince was too polite, and it would be good to tell her directly about this kind of thing, but the eldest prince said a lot of things to her.

A few days later, Rong Yao followed the instructions of the eldest prince, dressed up properly, and took silk to the door of the Shen family's mansion in Huzhou.

Rong Yao waited for a while before seeing Young Master Shen, and when she saw that he was still cold and didn't want to say much, she didn't say anything, and after presenting the silk and showing her intentions, she got up and said goodbye.

Young Master Shen looked at her strangely: "Go back?" ”

"You don't know what the Sun family means by letting you come to deliver silk?"

What does the Sun family mean by asking her to deliver silk?

Rong Yao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood!

Reliving a lifetime, she was sold again!

……

After more than a month, the exquisite silk was presented to the Empress Dowager Xiao.

The gorgeous silk condenses the efforts of many people, but the Empress Dowager Xiao didn't look at it.

She lowered her eyes and asked, "Shen Jiacheng?" ”

The internal officer replied respectfully: "Yes!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao slowly put down the pen and wrote down the word "Heng".

The internal official glanced at it quietly, and said more and more respectfully: "However, this time it is not Young Master Shen from the Shen family, someone said that Young Master Shen is newly married Yan'er......"

Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly threw her pen.

The inner official's heart trembled, and he immediately knelt down.

The wind blew up the corner of the rice paper, and the word "Heng" on it was stained by the ink when the Empress Dowager Xiao threw the pen, and it looked like a "Huan" character.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at that word.

That's how it should be.

Not "constant", but "Huan".

It's not Sun Heng, it's not Shen Heng, it's Li Yihuan.

Wu Wang's lineage, Taizu blood.

He is more like the son of the first emperor than the emperor.

How satisfied she was with him.

Oh, newlywed Yan'er......

Does he like that little embroidery girl? Or is it really unintentional? Or is it too scared to end?

Either way......

None of them are the bones of the first emperor.

Isn't it the son of the first emperor......
