Chapter Fifty-Seven: King Yu is demoted

It was cold and Shen Ai didn't want to go out in person, so he wrote a letter the next day for the little guy to send to Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu was taken aback when he heard that there was a letter from Shen Ai, thinking that something was wrong, and he took a closer look to understand that this was an errand for someone to ask, so he sent someone to call the shopkeeper of Wanyun Building, and ordered him to arrange two differences suitable for the age of the two people, so he also wrote a letter to send someone to send it, and then looked at the words that were more distorted than the other, and couldn't help laughing in the room for a long time.

Shen Ai, who received the letter, unfolded it and saw that the words were extremely beautiful, compared to his own letter, it was simply one day and the other, thinking of Jiang Yu's kid's temperament, he knew that he was going to laugh at himself.

Sure enough, after reading it carefully, I felt full of ridicule, and Shen Ai was so angry that he tore it up on the spot after reading it, if Jiang Yu was in front of him, he was afraid that he would be scratched a few marks.

But when he was angry, he still asked Shen Erye to tell him about the errand that Jiang Yu had arranged, and two days later, when the two brothers came to thank him again, Shen Aicai saw the two again.

Although the originally sick brother looked thin and weak, his spirit was not bad, he must have been in good health, and the younger brother beside him also had a smile on his face, both of them looked thoughtful, and when they gave a gift to themselves, they knew that the big one was called Zhang Yuan, and the small one was called Zhang Miao.

The two were still kneeling in front of him, and Shen Ai hurriedly waved his hand to let the little guy standing on the side help him up, and said, "No need to be polite." ”

Shen Erye also let the two sit down and talk, although Zhang Yuan is grateful to them but not humble or arrogant, etiquette is correct, look at the appearance of having read a book, in his words with Shen Erye know that this Zhang Yuan is still a talent, in Tanping County is one of the best talents, but unfortunately the family is poor, and suddenly the snow disaster parents died, although the disaster has now been controlled but the home is gone, it is in vain to go back, so I want to find an errand in this Kyoto to support myself and my younger brother.

A Xiucai is willing to do a running house for his younger brother, but it is also affectionate and righteous, Shen Erye appreciates his heart, knowing that the two brothers are penniless at the moment, so he gave him a hundred taels of silver, and did not say that he would not pay it back, but said: Take it for flowers first, and wait until the day when it can be returned.

Seeing off the two brothers, Shen Ai leaned into Shen Erye's knee and asked, "Daddy, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come back after you walk out of the door with this hundred taels?" ”

Second Master Shen hugged her and said with a smile: "It's just one hundred taels, if you don't come back, you won't come back, as the price of your father's unclear knowledge." ”

Shen Ai tugged at his sleeve and pouted slightly: "Daddy is really generous, I have to buy a lot of jugs of wine to earn a hundred taels." ”

Second Master Shen laughed, raised his finger and pinched his little nose: "I love silver so much at a young age, is it a girl from my Shen family?" ”

Shen Ai patted his chest with a smile: "It's like a fake." ”

"Such a cute girl, I won't change the fake."

Shen Erye smiled and got up and threw her up to catch her, so frightened that Shen Ai screamed and then happily was lifted high, the play between the father and daughter happened to be seen by the Mu family who came into the door, and immediately stopped her: "What are you messing about, be careful of hurting her." ”

Although his daughter was happy but his wife had already spoken, Second Master Shen had to let go of Shen Ai and coax Mu in a soft voice, looking at his father's unpromising appearance, Shen Ai was really envious of Mu, it was already very rare to find such a person who was willing to leave wholeheartedly in this era of male supremacy. is still like a large number of people, with three wives and four concubines.

Forget it, anyway, there are still a few years before she grows up, and she really can't find a good-looking child by herself, instilling monogamy from an early age, and if she dares to cheat, she will fold her legs, hum!

The father and mother showed affection, and Shen Ai naturally withdrew obediently, went back to the house and instructed the two maids to bring snacks and continue to eat and drink.

The next morning, the family just had breakfast and heard that the emperor had issued an order to demote King Yu to a concubine and take back the surname, and the palace of King Yu was now also heavily guarded, and the wives and concubines inside were driven out, and they were still crying at the gate of the palace at this time.

Second Master Shen waved his hand to make people retreat, and then sighed slightly: "The emperor is still in love!" "If it weren't for such a big disaster falling on the heads of ordinary ministers, I'm afraid that they would have to be beheaded.

Mu Shi took a sip of porridge and glared at him when he heard the words: "Don't say much." ”

Second Master Shen smiled and flattered, and opened the topic, public opinion is also to be punished, and he just said a few words in front of his family.

And Shen Ai, who was watching him eating porridge seriously, had already turned eighteen turns in his mind, this plot was wrong! King Yu should have rebelled with the crown prince and was killed by the five princes! Why did you degrade to a commoner at this time? Did her arrival change so many things? Sins, sins, sins!

Just after breakfast, another maid came to report that a girl had come from outside the door, saying that it was the niece of the second lady who asked to see the lady.

The four people who were sitting and drinking tea were stunned, and Shen Mingqing frowned and wondered, "When did my mother have a niece?" He couldn't remember an uncle who had such a powerful daughter who came to the door on his own!

Mu and Shen Erye were also confused, so they asked the maid who came, "Do you know who she is?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, she didn't tell me."

This person who came to the door to ask for a meeting and didn't say who his surname was, Shen Ai saw it for the first time, Mu Shi thought about it and suddenly seemed to remember something, so he said to the maid: "You go and tell that girl that I don't see me." ”

"Yes!" The maid stepped back

Shen Ai asked out loud, "Why didn't my mother see me?" But who is that? ”

Mu nodded: "Isn't it the one who entered the Yuwang Mansion?" ”

The three of them suddenly realized, it turned out to be Ruan Zhen, and they thought about it, at this time, King Yu was demoted, and there was only Ruan Zhen who was a concubine for King Yu, but she didn't go to Mu Mansion to ask for it, but came to Shen Mansion... What does this mean?

The next day, Mu Shi went back to Mu Mansion, Shen Ai also went with him, just after greeting everyone and was hugged by Mrs. Mu into her arms, what pastries, snacks were put in front of her, so that Shen Ai naturally coaxed Mrs. Mu to smile.

After the meal, Mu asked about Ruan Zhen, only to hear Mrs. Mu snort coldly: "That's his own fault, whoever crawls out of his belly is what he looks like, hum, don't be a concubine for a good marriage, what's the use of asking for it at this time." ”

Shen Ai heard that this Ruan Zhen had come to ask for Mufu, but was also rejected by Mufu, although he was not a descendant of the Mu family, but living in Mufu was naturally considered to be a fine food and clothing, this time if he followed King Yu and became a poor person, he was afraid that he would have to suffer, but unfortunately Mufu did not want to lend a helping hand to him.

Wu also said: "The one in the mansion is now making trouble all day long, and yesterday I wanted to send someone to the princess of the county, but I stopped him, but I didn't expect Ruan Zhen to go to your mansion in person." ”

Mu Shi smiled: "I went to go, but I didn't see her." "Although it's nothing for her to be pulled by a woman, but since Mufu has made it clear that she doesn't care, then she is a married daughter, so it's not easy to interfere.

After knowing the general situation, after Mrs. Mu took a break and fell asleep, the mother and daughter returned to the Shen Mansion, and Ruan Zhen came to the door for the next two days, but the Mu family closed the door and did not come since.

The fluctuation of the Yuwang incident is still there, and within a few days, the news that the emperor wants to summon the king of Beiming back to Beijing, not only Shen Ai was taken aback, but even the ministers in the court widened their eyes, this vassal king has not been able to return to Beijing without a summons since he left Beijing, this is to prevent the gang in Beijing from forming a faction to threaten the throne, but if the summoning is also a big thing, and the emperor recalls the king of Beiming for no reason, what is this called? Isn't it old and confused?

Besides, when the first emperor was in power, the king of Beiming was deeply favored by the first emperor, if it wasn't for a scandal about the harem, this throne was afraid that it was in his pocket, and if he returned to Beijing this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to send it away as simply as before.

All the ministers in the court were persuading the emperor to withdraw his order, but there were a few people who were silent at the tip of their noses, Shen Guogong and Jiang Guogong were two of them, as well as Zheng Chengxiang and Zhongshu Ling, the old emperor who was impatient with the minister's quarrel waved his sleeves and retired from the court.

And when the ministers were anxious for the emperor and the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou, they heard that the king of Beiming was seriously ill and couldn't get up, and the ministers were a little relieved, but the old emperor was anxious, and on the night he received the news, he summoned Shen Guogong and others into the palace to discuss matters, which made the ministers under him wonder.

After the discussion, there was some turmoil in the court, first a few first-class ministers were reprimanded by the emperor, and a few second-grade and third-grade ministers were found out to be in prison, and the other two were directly beheaded by the house, and the people in the court were panicked, and even the entire capital was a little abnormal.

Many dignitaries and nobles are closed, and there are very few mansions for banquets, unless it is some big birthday or something, Shen Guogong also explained at the dinner table that everyone has to go out very rarely in the recent period, and if there is anything to buy, if it is not important, let the little maid or maid go.

Shen Ai also obediently wrote big characters in the house, although his wrists were stiff every day, but in the end he also had a little achievement, and now the words he wrote are not like ghost drawings, at least he can recognize them clearly.

On this day, Shen Aiyang wrote a letter to Jiang Yu freely, mainly to show off his current words, and wrote down the words that were praised when he showed Shen Guogong last time, and mocked his shallow gaze, in order to repay the revenge of being ridiculed last time.

Jiang Yu, who was playing chess with the five princes in the study, couldn't help but laugh after reading the letter, and the five princes sitting opposite him couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "What makes you laugh so happily." ”

When he wanted to reach out and snatch the letter in his hand to comfort his curiosity, he was deftly snatched away by Jiang Yu, refolded and placed the placket on his chest, and saw that he was such a treasure, and the fifth prince wondered: "Whose letter?" ”

Jiang Yu glanced at him, raised his finger and dropped a white child, and said, "Say more, it's your turn." ”

"Hey! You..."

The fifth prince pointed at Jiang Yu so angry that he didn't know how to say it, and immediately picked up a few sunspots and threw them on the chessboard, and said angrily: "Don't play." ”

Jiang Yu raised his eyelids and looked at the sunspots on the chessboard who had obviously been surrounded by white children and were about to be strangled, and were disturbed by a few chess pieces he had dropped, so he slowly put away the chess pieces and gave him a white look: "Every time you want to lose, you come to this set." ”
