Chapter 188: Inside Story

Thank you Yun Yuxuan, cat and mouse for the pink, thank you!

In the first month, the excitement of the Shen family has subsided a little. (Mushrooms are all eight?) Zero? Book? House to read books, don't you know? Shen Kaishan and the others left one after another after Shen Zexi married the lord of Rongping.

After spending a short time with his parents, wife and children, Shen Yuxian was also ready to return to Xiangzhou. However, this time, he brought Shen An's companion, and Shen Qingde and Shen Qingze stayed in Jingzhao and were taken care of by Shen Yu's family.

Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing's consideration is that Shen Yuxian and Shen An's husband and wife have been separated for a long time, and Shen Yuxian's official position is getting heavier, and he also needs a back house owner to take care of affairs in Xiangzhou.

Shen Qingde and Shen Qingze are not small, so it is most suitable for Shen An's to go to Xiangzhou. Of course, Shen Yuxian himself also wanted Shen An's company in Xiangzhou, since they got married, the two got together less and left more, and Shen Yuxian was also quite distressed by Shen An's.

Being able to accompany Shen Yuxian, Shen An's family was naturally extremely happy, but she was also reluctant to have two young children, and she was conflicted for a while.

In the end, it was Shen Yushi who spoke: "Go to Xiangzhou, don't procrastinate!" I'll take care of my grandchildren! My mother-in-law said so and made up her mind. Shen Anshi was also relieved, and followed Shen Yuxian to Xiangzhou with red eyes.

After Shen Zexi and the county lord of Rongping got married, they moved to the county lord's mansion on Shifu Street, and with the departure of Shen Kaishan, Shen Yuxian and others, the Shen family seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year gradually subsided.

Shen Ning's homework in Jianhuatang is still continuing, and in his spare time, he and Shen Yu's family take care of Shen Qingde and Shen Qingze, the two children, and forget that Shen Yuchen also likes to stick to Shen Ning's sister-in-law.

After Ying Nantu left Jingzhao, he passed through Jiangnan Road and Lingnan Road all the way, and now he has traveled in Xining Road, sending letters and products from various places to Shen Ning from time to time.

Looking at the few words in the letter, Shen Ning felt that his heart was very happy. But. Such a mood was soon disturbed by a will of Emperor Changtai.

Shen Ning didn't expect that the candidate for the Fifth Imperial Concubine would be her!

After the lord of Rongping got married. Emperor Changtai remembered that his prince Shangguan Changzhi had not yet married, and this really had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible!

After the beginning of spring. Shangguan Changzhi is twenty-two years old, which is the minimum age for marriage set by Taizu Shangguan Fu, so Emperor Changtai quickly made a marriage decree and pointed out Zheng Shaoyi, the youngest daughter of Zheng Pucun, the head of the household department, to Shangguan Changzhi as the concubine!

In order to prolong the imperial heir, Emperor Changtai specially ordered Shangguan Changzhi and Zheng Shaoyi to get married as soon as possible, and Si Tiantai also announced the auspicious day of the eighth day of the third lunar month.

The Ministry of Rites and Shaofu Temple still have nearly two months to prepare, and there is plenty of time. Let's talk about Princess Yancheng before. The Five Princes' Mansion has been renovated, and now it only needs to be slightly arranged, so Wei Jindu and Xue Dengting both feel very relaxed.

Emperor Changtai pointed to the will of marriage, and the expressions of Concubine De, Concubine Mu and Concubine Rong in the harem were not very good-looking.

The household department is in charge of the wealth of the world. The head of the household department is the financial minister of Dayong, and the person who is not deeply favored by the emperor cannot do the post of the head of the household department, which shows that Zheng Pu has the weight in the mind of Emperor Changtai, and even Wei Jingyao, Shen Ke and others are also courteous to Zheng Pucun.

The so-called food and clothing parents, food and clothing are still ranked before parents. Who doesn't take money seriously?

Just like what Shen Zeru thought when he was in Xiyan, in this world, there is one thing that no one can leave without, and many people work hard for their lives. It's all for it, and that's the word "money". Without money, you can't move an inch, let alone create any forces!

Now that Shangguan Changzhi has the household department Shangshu as his in-laws, there will be a steady stream of financial support behind him, and there is the power support of Zheng Pucun, which is equivalent to having a gold mine behind him and a finance minister, what kind of help is this? !

In terms of seizing the heir, he will far surpass the second prince and the twelfth prince! No wonder Concubine De and the others were so ugly.

In order to add luster to Shangguan Changzhi's marriage, Emperor Changtai specially promoted Li Guifei and named her Concubine Li! In this way, Shangguan Changzhi is on par with the second prince and the twelfth prince in terms of status.

In fact, for a period of time, in order to prevent Shangguan Changzhi from marrying a capable wife, Concubine Mu and Concubine Rong were secretly giving Emperor Changtai eye medicine, and Concubine Mu even did not hesitate to offend Emperor Changtai and said something like this: "As we all know, the absurd things of the five princes in the Qiyue Palace, if the five princes don't like men and women, then the future five princesses will be ruined!" Wouldn't the emperor's actions chill the hearts of his subordinates? This is definitely not what Mingjun did! The emperor has to be cautious......"

Such accusations made Emperor Changtai angry at Concubine Mu's audacity, and he didn't turn over Concubine Mu's brand for more than ten consecutive days, which has never happened since the assassination of Cining Palace!

But Concubine Mu didn't care about ten days or half a month at all, she thought that as long as she could make Shangguan Changzhi lose power, she couldn't let him marry a helpful concubine, even if Emperor Changtai didn't come in January or two, she didn't care!

Her heart for Emperor Changtai had already died in the scent of hosta flowers that year......

But Concubine Mu's words didn't have much effect, and even Concubine Rong blew the pillow wind in Emperor Changtai's ear from time to time, but it didn't have much effect. As soon as this New Year passed, Emperor Changtai still chose such a good family of the Zheng family for Shangguan Changzhi!

In fact, everyone, including Shen Ning, didn't expect that Emperor Changtai would feel so guilty about Shangguan Changzhi because of Princess Yancheng's matter, and his determination to choose a good family affair as compensation for him would be so strong! It is so strong that no matter how Concubine Mu and Concubine Rong take eye medicine, they can't stop this thing.

This is where people's hearts and minds are deficient, and this is also a common thing.

After Concubine Rong learned of Emperor Changtai's intention to give marriage, she made a few times of trouble with Emperor Changtai with her little temperament, although she didn't dare to go too far, she also clearly expressed her protest.

She didn't understand, since the emperor was the most beloved and wanted to pave the way for his own emperor, why was he still so good to the five princes? Why did he connect the Hubu Shangshu and the Five Princes, who are in charge of the world's wealth?

Emperor Changtai has always been very indulgent to Concubine Rong, and the answer he got was: "Leaving more money for the fifth child can be regarded as a little bit of my father's heart." It's not bad to let him be an idle rich man! Don't be so stingy, or I'll be angry. ”

The emperor's affection can be petty, but he can't be crazy, this point. Concubine Rong knows it well. After listening to Emperor Changtai's words, she couldn't help but smile deliberately.

Actually, she didn't mean to laugh. Listening to Emperor Changtai's hidden meaning to let Shangguan Changzhi be an idle prince, this also shows that he does not want Shangguan Changzhi to be the prince. This is what Concubine Rong is satisfied with.

The mood of the people in the Shen family is also not good, regardless of whether Zheng Pucun is a pure minister or not, whether he is neutral or not, after the marriage between the Five Princes' Mansion and the Zheng family, all the forces of the Zheng family will automatically be assigned to the Five Princes.

Shangguan Changzhi was already not easy to deal with, and now with the addition of Zheng Pucun's forces, he had to pull him down. It's even harder.

Even if Concubine Rong relayed Emperor Changtai's words of "rich man", the Shen family was not very happy. The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and when the ruler of Shangguan is in power, the emperor's mind may change. This is something that cannot be predicted.

In short, Shangguan Changzhi and the Zheng family got married, and the Shen family felt uncomfortable, but they knew that the holy will had been lowered, and they couldn't stop it.

Shen Ning's thoughts were a little more complicated. Regardless of the fact that Shangguan Changzhi is more difficult to deal with, just talking about the future five princesses will make her worried.

She is good friends with Zheng Shaoyi, and the county lord of Rongping is also good friends with Zheng Shaoyi, and this Zheng Shaoyi will become the fifth princess. How should the three of them get along in the future?

Besides, Shen Ning knew very well who Shangguan Changzhi was, and she was also afraid that Zheng Shaoyi would follow in the footsteps of her previous life! In case Shangguan Changzhi succeeds, the Zheng family will only be his stepping stone, and how much better will Zheng Shaoyi and Zheng Pucun's fate be? Presumably, it won't be much better than the Shen family in the previous life.

But the will has been made, it is impossible for the Zheng family to resist the will, and Zheng Shaoyi himself is so in love with Guan Changzhi that he will never give up this opportunity to marry him, what can I do?

On this day, Shen Huashan made an appointment with his old acquaintance, Jiang Chenghai, the head of the household department, to drink and chat, the two were originally good, but after experiencing mutual market disputes and water conservancy repairs, the friendship between the two became deeper, and they also got together from time to time.

Jiang Chenghai also laughed from time to time, but he and Shen Huashan smiled kindly, he smiled stupidly, but Shen Huashan knew that he was not stupid at all in his heart, otherwise how could he be in the household for eight years?

From the household department member to the current household servant, Jiang Chenghai has never left the household department, just waiting for Zheng Pucun to be promoted or Zhishi, this household department is Jiang Chenghai's world! Can such a person be stupid?

The two talked about the north and south, and gradually talked about the marriage between the fifth prince and the Zheng family.

"Brother, don't you know that my chief officer, who has always stretched his face these days, scolded Zhang Xi in Duzhi Shilang for a little thing! Many officials in the household department are wondering if there is another Chu Yan in the household department, thinking that he is relying on the power of the five princes. I see, that's not the case, my chief has always said that he will not get involved in the succession, and I guess he is not happy about this marriage......"

Jiang Chenghai burped, squinted his eyes and said, Zheng Pucun sighed in embarrassment, Jiang Chenghai saw it clearly.

"What a blessing it is to be able to marry the Heavenly Family, and the Fifth Imperial Princess, what is the Zheng family unhappy about?" Shen Huashan said with a grin, and then toasted Jiang Chenghai with a glass of wine.

"Blessings and misfortunes lurk, Lord Zheng, he can see clearly. But the decree has been given, and he can't do anything about it. Why did your emperor choose the Zheng family? Jiang Chenghai said, drinking a glass of wine in a daze.

"Oh? Could it be that there is something else going on in this matter? Shen Huashan became interested. He didn't receive any relevant news in Zhongshu Province, he always thought that Emperor Changtai was the Zheng family he chose, could it be that Jiang Cheng still had other news in the household department?

"I heard that it was my chief's favorite young daughter, Zheng Shaoyi, who personally asked the emperor for it, and the Tao was through Li Guifei. The emperor took pity on him, and also thought that the daughter of the Zheng family was the concubine of the five princes, and he would not insult the five princes, so the Zheng family was circled. ”

Jiang Chenghai thought of Zheng Pucun's private roar and said. In fact, he didn't want to know about it, but in the household department, there was only a thin wall separating Shangshu from the waiter, and Zheng Pucun yelled so loudly that it was difficult for him to know if he didn't know!

"Brother said it's not funny, how could such a delicate girl's family do such a thing......" Shen Huashan knew that Jiang Chenghai's words must be true, but he didn't know how that girl's family could be so bold?

However, when he thought of his granddaughter Shen Ning, he knew that some girls' hearts were extraordinary, so he didn't think it was strange.

"Who said it wasn't, I really don't understand...... Jiang Chenghai muttered, and continued to fight with Shen Huashan.

Shen Huashan drank wine and thought, it turns out that there is such a story in the emperor's marriage, it seems that the Zheng family is not happy with this marriage, I don't know if Zheng Pucun will help the five princes?

If Zheng Pucun is not biased towards the five princes, then even if the five princes and the Zheng family marry, there is not much benefit, is there anything to be done here?

Immediately, Shen Huashan secretly laughed that he had really drunk too much, and he was so confused! Zheng Pucun is the wife of the fifth prince's father-in-law, if Zheng Pucun really loves his young daughter so much, even if he is not happy with this marriage now, he will help the five princes!

Glory is glory, loss is loss, this truth, I knew it a long time ago, it seems that I am really confused!
