Chapter 251: Counting

(Four thousand long chapters are sent, and Wen Xiange is welcome to become the deputy moderator of the book review area.) Have a great weekend to all. )

A few days later, the suitable candidate for Prince Liangdi was announced, and as expected by Shen Huashan and others, Shen Mi was on the list.

In addition, there are a total of eight girls, including Su Yuting, the concubine of Su Shunyu, the son of Guozi Siye, and Ming Xinlan, the concubine of Ming Weizheng, the young eunuch of Shaofu. Although these girls are all concubines, it is said that they are also upright and dignified girls. Prince Liangdi came out of these eight girls.

The Shen family hadn't thought of any way to prevent Shen Mi from being elected, and Shen Huashan was quite anxious. On this day, when he was dealing with the affairs of the East Palace in the Zhan Mansion, he heard Qiu Shengnian sighing that it was really not easy to deal with the East Palace.

Originally, for the expenses of the East Palace Division, it cost a lot of money to write the sermons and decorations. From small to big, how much does it cost to do everything in the East Palace? Although his Shaozhan affair was mainly to teach the prince the general affairs of the Ming Dynasty, but the white silver, through his eyes, also grabbed his heart, but no one in the East Palace cared about this.

"How expensive is it? Nobody cares? Shen Huashan felt that something flashed in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.

"Yes, the prince has lived in the deep palace for a long time, what he sees and hears, everything he sees and hears is clear and elegant, how can he know such trivial matters. In fact, all the things in the East Palace, which one can be separated from the tariff? Qiu Shengnian said casually, and he didn't want to say more about these.

Dust-free at the moment, this is the characteristic of most masters, and there is not much to say.

"Well, that's right. The crown prince is the king, and he is in charge of the affairs of the country, these are small things, so naturally there is no need to know. Is there any movement in the court about Prince Liangdi? Shen Huashan smiled, feeling very relaxed.

He grabbed the method that flashed in his mind, and then changed the topic and discussed the dynamics of the court with Qiu Shengnian. Prince Liangdi's matter is over. The laying of the East Palace's power also means that it will come to an end, and the prince's future study and performance in the court are all things they have to discuss.

In other words, Zuo Liangzhe is worried these days. He had already sent people to inquire about the details of Shen Zejing's concubine, but it was infuriating. I couldn't find anything.

The daughter of the Shen family lived in a simple place, and not many people had seen her, and the subordinates of the Shen family had a very strict manner, whether it was bribery or threats, there was no useful news coming out. And I heard that in the past two or three years, the Shen family has stopped buying subordinates, and he can't put someone in if he wants to.

This Shen family is up and down. is like an iron bucket, not leaking, he has no way of knowing the specific situation of the Shen family's daughter, and he can't make a plan to prevent the Shen family's daughter from entering the East Palace.

Chunxi, the personal maid of the future crown princess Zuo Shan, is a very flexible person. Looking at Zuo Shan's sad face, she wanted to relieve Zuo Shan's worries, and by the way, she made meritorious contributions in front of the old lady of the Zuo family, if she could help the Zuo family cut off the potential threat of Shen Mi, then she would be even more useful in front of the future prince. In the future, she will be the first female official of the East Palace.

With this in mind, Chunxi tried her best to inquire about Shen Mi's situation, and finally got a secret news from the maid in the same township, so she excitedly told Zuo Shan the news.

"Girl, the cousin of the slave maid has seen that Shen Mi. looks far worse than the girl, and more importantly, she can also settle accounts! And if someone asks about this, she will talk about it endlessly, as if she has lost money! Girl, don't worry, the prince will definitely not like such a person who is covered in copper smell. ”

Drop the money in the eye? Covered in copper stench? Zuo Shan couldn't help laughing when she heard Chunxi's words, praised Chunxi a few words, and then immediately told her grandfather Zuo Liangzhe the news.

Originally, Zuo Liangzhe was still a little skeptical about the authenticity of this news, but at this moment, the subordinates he sent to investigate had made new progress at this time, just as Chunxi learned, that Shen Mi was indeed a girl who loved money like life, which was really rare! Zuo Liangzhe smiled and thought about it for a while, and then he paid attention.

Prince Liangdi has been screened since August, and after two rounds of selection, there are only four of the eight candidates who were originally suitable. When it comes to the last assessment, Concubine Rong will leave them in the palace for a night in order to better observe them, and finally select the two for the crown prince Liangdi.

There is no doubt that Shen Mi, the daughter of the Shen family, is among the four people who stayed in the palace at the end.

The Jingzhao officials once again lamented the emperor's favor to the Shen family, the Shen family had a prince Zhan Shi, and seeing that there was another prince Liangdi, he couldn't help but be blushing from other families.

Seeing such a situation, Zuo Liangzhe was not in a hurry at all, he did two things before these girls stayed in the palace.

One of them was to meet with the young eunuch Ming Wei of the Shaofu, and the two talked a lot about wine; The second is to make a play in front of the prince. This play is also simple, it is to arrange two palace maids to quarrel in the imperial garden, in order to make a little profit.

I have to say that Dayong's palace maids are not having a good time, for a little money, these two palace maids performed with love, showing the ugly face of the girl's family who is greedy for money and loves money, and one of the palace maids also sneered and said: "My own son is not as good as close money!" In my opinion, there is nothing in this world that can be without money! If I have a lot of money to choose from, my biological parents can do without it! I heard that the candidate for that Liangdi is the daughter of the Shen family, and she also regards wealth as her life! If only we could be on an errand in front of her in the future! ”

Such a scene was naturally seen and heard by the prince who "happened" to be playing in the imperial garden, and he glanced at the two palace maids with disgust, even his biological parents could be dispensed with for money, it was really hateful! It's unbearable! Good candidates? The daughter of the Shen family? Is it the daughter of the Shen family who is the mother concubine who guarantees both virtue and virtue?

The prince's eyes were a little dark, but he didn't say anything, and left the imperial garden.

After returning to the palace maid, the prince summoned the prince's housekeeper Zhang Di and asked him to secretly investigate the matter, just to find out whether the daughter of the Shen family really loves money and life, if this is the case, he can't bear to sleep with such a woman at all.

Zhang Di's face was embarrassed after listening to this order, Shen family girl, how could she easily investigate? This is about to enter the palace and stay overnight, and she is the granddaughter of the prince Zhan Shi, this is really a chore!

But since the prince has an order, he doesn't dare not do it. The bitter Zhang Di remembered the prince's general affairs Ling Yungao, who had worked under Shen Zejing, and must have known a lot about the situation of the Shen family's daughter.

"Second girl. It's a love of money, but in fact, I just like some general business. In fact, there is no love of money as life, people outside are really nonsense! I'll tell you. Those two girls have a hand in settling accounts, and there is no one who can go wrong with her! Donggong has her to take care of these. The number of ledgers is naturally clear! We're sure to have a lot of peace of mind! Ling Yungao said, and the two brothers smiled at Zhang Di goodly.

Hearing Ling Yungao say this, Zhang Di shuddered in his heart, this Shen family girl is so powerful, then the accounts of the East Palace are clear and meticulous, isn't there no oil and water to fish? Aren't you going to suffer a great loss? You must know that the position of your prince is an easy place to get oil and water!

As soon as this Shen family girl comes, if she really has the ability to settle accounts. There is also the prince Zhan Shi escorting her in the East Palace, maybe the oil and water in the East Palace really has no place to fish at all! It is even possible that his previous accounts will be found out.

Thinking of this, Zhang Di felt cold sweat on his body. So when reporting to the prince. Zhang Di couldn't help but exaggerate Shen Mi's love for money and his ability to calculate, and even said that it was even more unbearable than the two palace maids in the Imperial Garden.

These words made the prince frown, and he felt a burst of disgust for Shen Mi, whom he had not yet met: such a person covered in copper stench. How can you be a prince Liangdi!

The night before Shen Mi entered the palace to stay overnight, Shen Ning went to the semi-idle residence to cheer Shen Mi up, and it happened that Aunt Li was also in the semi-idle residence to accompany Shen Mi, she hoped that Shen Mi could be selected, and Amitabha Buddha recited the words of asking the Buddha to bless Mi'er to be successfully selected. Hearing this, Shen Ning wanted to laugh a little.

"Grandfather said, you don't have to worry, just do what you originally arranged." Shen Ning said with a smile, winking at Shen Mi, meaning to speak.

Shen Mi glanced at Aunt Li, who was praying sincerely, and did not speak, only nodded, indicating that she knew what to do.

At the beginning of the day, Shen Mi and several other girls were waiting outside the palace gate, and the palace maid was also waiting at the palace gate early, and when the palace gate bureau ordered, they led Shen Mi and others into the palace.

There are really a lot of things about these girls on this day, and everyone doesn't dare to ignore them, whether they can be selected or not depends mainly on the performance of this day.

"Come on, come forward, let this palace take a good look at these lovely people." Rong Guifei said with a smile, beckoned, and asked these girls to step forward, and after taking a closer look, she let them sit down.

Concubine Rong likes these girls very much, these are carefully selected girls, both of them are satisfactory in terms of tolerance and temperament.

With Shen Huashan's relationship, Concubine Rong thought that Shen Mi would definitely be one of her daughters-in-law in the future, although Shen Mi was not as gorgeous as the other three girls, but Concubine Rong was the most friendly to her.

The atmosphere of Zhong Cui Palace is still very harmonious, the four little girls surrounded Rong Guifei, talking and laughing, showing themselves without a trace, and just right to meet this Rong Guifei, so that Rong Guifei let out a burst of "haha" laughter from time to time.

"Sister Shen, I heard that you are proficient in commercial affairs? Is it a good financial manager? My sister is worried about it today, and she doesn't know anything about it, and she's worried about it. As she spoke, Ming Xinlan, the concubine of the young eunuch of the Shaofu, said this, her tone was quite curious and sincere.

"My sister laughed, I can't say that I am proficient, it's just a little hobby. ......" Listening to Ming Xinlan's question, Shen Mi's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be ignited by the things he was most interested in, and began to talk endlessly.

According to the instructions of Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing, Shen Mi did not hide her ability to love money and settle accounts, starting with how to keep accounts, specifically how to calculate, and finally talking about profits and losses, etc., it was a dance of eyebrows, and the entire Zhong Cui Palace heard her "crackling" talking about all kinds of matters related to accounting.

And Ming Xinlan, who asked the question, was satisfied and dumbfounded at the same time: This ...... That's too good to say!

"Ahem...... Well, okay, Miss Shen's skills are good, it's really good. Concubine Rong was also shocked. How can she say this, she really didn't expect that someone would talk about accounts like this...... It's amazing how enthusiastic it is to talk about the lover of your dreams!

And the prince who was hiding behind the curtain weft saw Shen Mi like this, and felt that she was really hideous and ugly, remembering the scene he saw in the imperial garden before, and remembering the report of Zhang Di, the prince's housekeeper, and the disgust and resistance to Shen Mi in his heart were even worse, and he was not even interested in looking at her!

When agreeing on the candidate of Prince Liangdi, to the surprise of Emperor Changtai and Concubine Rong, the prince was extremely resolute and said that Prince Liangdi would not choose the daughter of the Shen family!

For this reason, the prince also cried sadly: "Father, I just don't like the daughter of the Shen family!" I don't want to even look at her! The crown princess and the ministers have no right to choose, can't I choose the one that suits my heart? Father, you said that you can do as you like, but you can't just choose the good you like, so what else can you talk about? Father, the son just doesn't like her! ”

Emperor Changtai made up his mind that the daughter of the Shen family must be the prince Liangdi, and after listening to the prince's words at this moment, he thought that the prince's stubbornness had been committed again, so he patiently explained to him the reason for accepting the daughter of the Shen family, which was for the present and future of the East Palace.

But the prince didn't listen at all. only blindly begged Emperor Changtai, and resolutely refused to accept the daughter of the Shen family, and his reasons were extremely sufficient.

"Erchen, I want to be like my father and my mother, and find someone who suits you......" Finally, the prince said hoarsely.

This sentence made Emperor Changtai and Concubine Rong stunned. Yes, in this palace, if there is no one who agrees, then it will be too sad. Even if he is the first person in the world, there are times when he wants to talk to people close to him, and Emperor Changtai and Concubine Rong know these very well.

The crown princess has no choice from the prince, and the prince Liangdi, can't he follow his wishes?

First of all, Concubine Rong compromised, and the acting prince pleaded in front of Emperor Changtai, and asked Emperor Changtai to approve the prince's small request and expectation.

Although she is in the harem, she is also a loving mother, looking at the prince's sad appearance, she feels unbearable, a prince is just a good woman, what does it matter if he wants?

Emperor Changtai looked at the resoluteness of the crown prince and Concubine Rong, and remembered his feelings of being cold in the high places for decades, so he sighed, and it was not good to touch the prince's mind, and promised to carefully consider the prince's mind.

In the end, Su Yuting, the concubine of Su Shunyu, the son of Guozi Siye, and Ming Xinlan, the concubine of the Shaofu Young Eunuch Ming Weizheng, were selected as the prince Liangdi, Shen Mi, naturally, according to the prince's wishes, was defeated!

ps:

Midnight! Seeing this, will everyone feel that a loving mother is a loser? Ha.
