These words made the emperor frown. Of course not, for the sake of the reputation of the ladies in the house, the big family will of course restrict her from having too much contact with low/lowly craftsmen.

Development of new technologies? Hehe, where would the powerful family care about this kind of thing, the key is to do a good job in the current money-making business and earn money. In this way, it will definitely kill Xia's talents, right?

Shao Yi: "Also, Xia Yanqing has huge financial resources, can Your Majesty rest assured that such a large wealth is concentrated in a certain powerful family?" ”

The emperor didn't want to hear him go around in circles again, and urged: "Just say what you mean." ”

Shao Yi knelt on the ground and said: "Weichen has a thin background and no relatives, so he should be the best candidate to marry Xia Yanqing." If His Majesty is willing to give Weichen a card to avoid death, Weichen will restrain the children of the family, and the five generations will not step into the official career. ”

"Don't die cards?!" The emperor glared at Shao Yi, and he dared to say it!

Sun Congshan capsized in the gutter, and accidentally choked on his own saliva.

Shao Yi's pitiful defense: "It's just to save your life." "Asking for grace comes with a card that protects you from death, which sounds ridiculous. However, the five generations do not step into the official career, and there is a huge amount of wealth, so avoiding death is only the most basic guarantee for the safety of a family.

The emperor also understood, and Liang Liang asked, "Why are it five generations, instead of never stepping into the official career?" ”

Shao Yi fought for himself very innocently: "People say that they can't be rich for five generations." It can be seen that within five generations, there will be unscrupulous descendants, who will lose all their wealth and be so depressed that they have nothing...... Weichen always has to leave a way back for his children and grandchildren, Your Majesty, do you say yes or no? ”

To be honest, the Emperor was a little moved by this proposal.

Just like Shao Yi said, because of Xia Yanqing's superb talent, her marriage is no longer her personal or any family's business, and there are many things involved.

Among them, Shao Yi said, which led to the trade and taxation of the Great Liang Dynasty and the prosperity of various industries in the surrounding areas. These are hard indicators to measure a dynasty and how well he ruled during the reign of Qingyuan.

There is also what Shao Yi didn't say, such a huge amount of wealth, one is not good, that is, the disaster of crisis imperial power.

If he didn't know that King Chengjun had a heart of disobedience, he wouldn't know that Liu Jian had secretly colluded with King Chengjun. At that time, Liu Jian begged to come to him, and he was very likely to think that Liu Jian's old ministers of the Three Dynasties were very reliable and gave Xia Yanqing to the Liu family in marriage.

Hehe, he could almost imagine that the king of Chengjun, who was assisted by such financial resources, was not only like a tiger with wings, but it was simply the favor of God.

And Shao Yi married Xia Yanqing, and the Shao family was originally Shao Yi alone, and the people were so thin that they couldn't be added. If the children of the Shao family do not enter the office for five generations, it will be the status of a businessman.

This businessman also has a gold medal for avoiding death, so there is no need to attach himself to anyone, and the whole family can enjoy wealth and prosperity in peace. Coupled with the fact that there are no more than five generations of wealth, the danger of huge wealth is greatly reduced.

What a good thing!

Other people who want to marry Xia Yanqing will not give him this promise. All they think is power and money.

The emperor thought about it again and again, but his brows were still unfurled, and he asked in a deep voice after a while: "If you marry a divorced woman and have such a huge amount of wealth, you will not be able to enter the royal family tree." Back then, your father loved you the most, so how did you treat him? ”

Shao Yi also has an impression of things when he was young, although he doesn't remember everything completely because of his youth, but some fragments are available.

He was also silent for a long time before he said: "Even if you enter the royal family, after two generations, you will only barely make ends meet." Weichen thought that his father should prefer Weichen and his mother to live better. ”

The emperor looked at Shao Yi again for a long time, thinking that two years ago, King Jing invited him into the restaurant, if he decided to take refuge in King Jing that time, he would not have been recorded in the royal family.

"Do you want me to give you a marriage?" The Emperor asked.

Shao Yi was overjoyed, but what he said: "No, no, just think of a way for Weichen himself." As long as Your Majesty doesn't give her to another family in marriage, it will be done. ”

After a little thought, the emperor guessed a rough idea and asked, "Did you not dare to ask for a marriage from the Holy Decree without the Xia family's consent, for fear that she would be angry with you?!" ”

"Uh......" Shao Yi was embarrassed.

"Look at your ideas! Fortunately, you don't ask to be included in the royal family, and if you do, you will be disgraced to your father. The Emperor rebuked.

Shao Yi pouted secretly: Cut, I thought he was rare!

The emperor waved his hand impatiently: "Get out, get out." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Shao Yi agreed, took two steps back, and stopped with expectations, "Then, what about the punishment?" "Excuse me for sin, and since everyone is talking so amicably and harmoniously, don't you mention it?

The punishment remembered by the emperor is a knife hanging over his head.

The emperor nodded: "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten, the many descendants of Liu Jian, the important minister of the country, I have to think about what crime is appropriate." ”

Shao Yi hurriedly said: "Then where is the frame, they are already misbehaving." ”

"Two things, asking for sin and asking for grace, or do you want grace?" The emperor ruthlessly repeated Shao Yi's words.

"Okay, okay." Shao Yi responded. Forget it, this trip can have such a harvest, it is already the best result. Punish the crime, whatever, when he is a hairy boy who has never seen strong winds and waves?

…………

Such a good thing, Shao Yi first thought of Xia Ke.

It's not that he didn't expect Xia Yanqing, but he didn't dare to guarantee that for Xia Yanqing, this was good news.

But Xia Ke is different, from that day at Xia's house, Xia Ke restricted him from meeting Xia Yanqing alone, he boldly guessed that Xia Ke already knew that he had thoughts about Xia Yanqing.

Knowing it, but not blocking it, what that means is self-evident.

So, after the day was dispersed, Shao Yi happily followed Xia Zitang and went to Xia's house for dinner.

He was lucky enough to turn into the alley of Jishui Lane, and saw Xia Yanqing's carriage in front of him from a distance, followed by two guards in front and behind.

He, Xia Zitang, and the two of them were all on horseback, naturally much faster than the carriage, and in front of the Xia family, they were in the same place with the carriage.

Xia Yanqing heard the sound of horses' hooves and talking outside, and knew that this was Xia Zitang and Shao Yi together, so he didn't see outside, opened the curtain and looked out: "Fourth brother dispersed early today." ”

Xia Zitang responded with a smile: "Yes, I'll go home at some point." And Cheng'an, it's okay after the dismissal, I invited him to come to the house for dinner. ”

Xia Yanqing greeted with a smile: "Hello Shao Gongzi." ”

"Miss Xia is fine." Shao Yi also looked smiling, but the smile was almost on the tip of his eyebrows.

When he came to Xia's house, the carriage was going to the second gate, Shao Yi naturally couldn't keep up, so he said hello and the two parties separated.

The curtain of the car was lowered, and Xia Yanqing was a little puzzled: "Shao Gongzi's smile, looking at the thief, right?" ”

Xinxiu was stunned, so why is it a thief?

"No, right? The slave and maid looked at it, that is, they were a little happy, probably something good. ”

"Oh......" Xia Yanqing continued to be confused, always feeling that Shao Yi's smile just now was not only embarrassed, but also smug.
