Chapter 54 The Honor of the King is on the Stand
When the shopkeeper and Shen Ai were choosing dim sum, Zhou Li and Jiang Yu chatted on the side, talking about some literati and scholars.
It is not difficult to see that Zhou Li is a very good person, and even a person like Jiang Yu, who is difficult to talk to, can talk about his skills.
But what Shen Ai didn't know was that these two people were testing each other, Zhou Li before coming to Kyoto, King Beiming briefly said about those heels in the capital, Jiang Guogong's Mansion has heavy troops, one door and three generals, if it weren't for the early establishment of the prince, the five princes from the daughter of Concubine Jiang's daughter are afraid to replace the current crown prince, if they can win over one or two, the father's great cause will be like a tiger.
It's just that although this idea is good, it is too difficult to implement, and the family is very loyal, otherwise the emperor would have already gotten rid of it with his current status.
And Jiang Yu knew the ambition of the King of Beiming, and learned that Zhou Li actually came in person for the queen's birthday ceremony at this juncture, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was the meaning of the King of Beiming.
He had just come back from the northwest with the fifth prince yesterday, and he was afraid that he would break the big news in a few days, Jiang Yu glanced at Zhou Li slightly, turned his head and saw that Shen Ai had cake crumbs on her mouth, and naturally wiped it off for her, and said, "Don't eat too much, it will be uncomfortable to hold it for a while." ”
Given that Jiang Yu had wiped her mouth too many times, Shen Ai nodded in response without changing her face, and said with a smile: "I know, but the dim sum in this teahouse is really delicious." "It's really a bit comparable to Wanyun Tower, it would be nice if I could poach people.
Zhou Li looked at the natural interaction between the two, pursed his lips slightly, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Jiang Gongzi and the county lord have such a good relationship." ”
Jiang Yu glanced at him and just smiled.
Shen Ai saw that he was going to be cold, and hurriedly said: "Brother Jiang looks like an immortal, and he is good to Ai'er, if he is a few years younger and Ai'er, he will be a childhood sweetheart." After speaking, he winked mischievously at Jiang Yu.
This is naked teasing! Jiang Yu squinted slightly, poured a new cup of boiled water for her, and said, "Childhood sweethearts don't necessarily have to be of the same age. ”
Shen Ai glanced at him sideways, although this is also true, but the difference between the two of them is six years old, I am afraid it is a bit difficult to say that childhood sweethearts.
Zhou Lixiao looked at the small interaction between the two and said, "What do county lords like to do on weekdays?" ”
"Eat, drink, play, and be merry." Shen Ai snapped his fingers and said
Zhou Li smiled and asked: "This prince accidentally knew that a restaurant in the south of the city had good dishes, and the county lord would be free tomorrow?" ”
Shen Ai glanced at him and paused, and said with a trace of guilt on his face: "I'm afraid I'm going to live up to the kindness of the son, because it will be the birthday of the eldest aunt in the family in a few days, and my mother won't let me go out. ”
Zhou Li waved his hand and smiled: "Second Mrs. Shen is worried about the safety of the county lord, this son knows it, so how about sending someone to the county lord tomorrow?" ”
If you refuse not to go to someone's house and deliver it to the door, if you refuse again, you will throw the face of the dignified son to the ground and step on it, Shen Ai had to laugh: "Then thank you, brother Shizi." ”
Zhou Li raised the teacup and took a sip, saying, "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter." ”
After sitting and drinking boiled water for an hour, Shen Aicai got up to say goodbye to Zhou Li, Jiang Yu accompanied her into the carriage, and the horses were led by the entourage behind the carriage.
As soon as he got in the car, Jiang Yu hugged Shen Ai and put it on his lap, with a slight resentment on his face: "The prince is called well, and he even needs to add the word brother." ”
Shen Ai held the hand warmer on his lap, and when he heard this, he looked at him with a strange face, and said, "People send me delicious food, and it's not a loss to call my brother, it's just a title." ”
Jiang Yu's face was still a little unhappy, and Shen Ai didn't know how to say it, so the car quieted down, and it wasn't until he was about to reach Shen Guogong's mansion that Jiang Yu spoke again, saying, "You will call me Brother Yu in the future." ”
Shen Ai trembled, a little cold, frowned and resisted: "Why, I don't want it." ”
Jiang Yu hooked his lips and smiled at him: "Do you still want your plum blossom wine to be sold at a good price?" ”
"Okay, Brother Yu." When Shen Ai heard this, a sweet smile immediately appeared on his face, what did he get for the idea of silver.
Although there is Wanyunlou in Jiang Yu's hands as a market, Shen Ai still feels that it is better to open some wine shops or taverns, after all, people are not related to you, and there is only Wanyunlou as a sales channel, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to drink more and more wine in the future.
After thinking about it for a few days, Shen Ai went to Jiang Yu again, told her her thoughts, and finally decided to open a few shops, and Jiang Yu also became a shareholder, and the matter of finding a shop was naturally handed over to Jiang Yu, and now he just waited for the wine to be brewed.
Solved the troubles in her heart, this day Shen Ai was bored in the house to write big characters, and I don't know what stimulation Mu Shi was when he went to the banquet, and when he came back, he asked Shen Erye to teach her to read and write, although literacy is simple for her as a fake child, but the words written by people who are used to ballpoint pens are really miserable.
Since you want to live here for a long time, you have to write this word well, Shen Ai also started to learn from scratching the brush seriously, in order to hide her literacy, when Shen Erye was teaching, Shen Ai played a little trick, although it was faster than other ordinary children, but it was not too conspicuous, but seeing that Shen Erye and Mu were still happy, she was also relieved.
was sitting upright, writing the word 'zheng' stroke by stroke, and the curtain outside was lifted, and he looked up to see that it was his own brother Shen Qingfeng.
Seeing her raise her eyes, Shen Qingfeng smiled and asked, "How is the writing?" ”
Shen Ai put down the pen in his hand, wiped his hands, and pouted: "Daddy said that I have to write for two days, a hundred times a day." ”
"How much worse is that?" Shen Qingfeng asked
Shen Ai was a little deflated and said, "Twenty times." ”
Shen Qingfeng touched her head with a smile, and instructed the maid standing aside to fetch a small padded jacket and cloak, and said, "Then I'll finish my meal and write." ”
Shen Ai nodded and got up, and got dressed obediently: "What will you have for dinner tonight?" ”
Shen Qingfeng took the cloak and put it on for her, put on rain boots for her, picked her up and said, "Your favorite brush pot, it's snowing outside again, and my mother and aunt have discussed eating this early." ”
"Great." Shen Ai hugged Shen Qingfeng's neck and said happily: "Brother, I'll go by myself, let's go quickly." ”
Shen Qingfeng smiled and patted his little ass, raised his hand to put on a hat with a cloak for her before walking out of the house.
There was goose feather snow outside the house, and it was dark early in winter, and she wrote in big letters seriously, but she really didn't know that it was snowing outside, and the little guy who followed Shen Qingfeng held an umbrella for the two of them.
A gust of cold wind blew, although he was dressed thickly, Shen Ai couldn't help but shrink his neck, the world without haze is really cold in winter!
When they arrived at the main hall, the two untied their cloaks and handed them to the mother-in-law who was waiting outside, lifted the curtain and went in, the family was already sitting, and when they were seated, the meal was officially opened.
During the meal, the adults talked about this year's snow, Shen Erye sighed the situation of the victims, Shen Guogong sandwiched a piece of beef to Shen Ai, who was sitting next to him, and said to Uncle Shen: "The county order of Tanping County will enter Beijing tomorrow, but it will be handed over to you?" ”
Uncle Shen swallowed the slightly hot radish slices in his mouth, and then shook his head and said, "No, it was handed over directly to Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department did not interfere." ”
Shen Guogong nodded: "It's good not to interfere, I'm afraid this case is not so easy to investigate." "If it's easy to check, this prefectural order won't be pressed to Kyoto.
Uncle Shen said: "A few days ago, my son was thinking about whether to take a ten-day and half-month leave to avoid this." "Those who know some news about this matter know that they are afraid that they will be involved in a big one, otherwise how can a small county order and governor dare to be so bold.
The Shen family is used to discussing things at the dinner table, and Shen Ai, who doesn't know about the affairs of the DPRK and China, also understood a general idea while eating and listening, remembering that the snow disaster was not written in the original online article, and she didn't know who was behind the scenes, but listening to the words of Shen Guogong and Uncle Shen, this person is afraid that he is a big man!
She wondered who was so bold.
However, her curiosity did not last long, five days after Tan Ping County was pressed into the city, Zhizhou was also pressed into the city, and in less than ten days, it was revealed that the two had a personal relationship with King Yu.
Thirteen days later, it was found that most of the large amount of silver obtained by the two people from selling grain was given to King Yu, and the emperor received a confession from Dali Siqing, so angry that he smashed the paperweight made of good white jade in front of all the ministers, and fainted, and before fainting, he also issued an order to arrest King Yu.
King Yu, who was still confined in the palace because of the scandal, was taken into the prison of Dali Temple.
Three days after the old emperor fainted, Shen Guogong and Uncle Shen came back very late, and it was not until the fourth day that it was reported that the old emperor was awake and returned to normal.
Today is Shen Guogong's rest, the weather is cold and the snow is thick and he can't go anywhere, Shen Ai accompanied Shen Guogong to play backgammon in the warm study, there are three small plates of pastries on the table, and there is a pot of chrysanthemum wine on the charcoal basin not far away.
After Shen Ai dropped a black son to intercept Bai Zi's way, he asked sweetly, "Grandfather, how are the victims outside the city?" "She hadn't been outside the city for nearly half a month.
Shen Guogong took the white piece and fell, cut off the five black chess pieces that were about to be connected, and said: "The grain has been transported to Tanping County, and a large part of the people have returned, and only a small number of homeless people have stayed in the city. ”
Shen Guogong didn't think it was strange to talk about these things with his eight-year-old little granddaughter, and when the little granddaughter said those words to him, he felt that although this little girl had a small brain, she moved very fast, and she was also a person with ideas.
But this chrysanthemum wine is really good, he took it with a few old friends to taste it before, those few drunkards are very fond of it, two days ago I heard that this girl is making what plum blossom wine, then he is the first to try it, so that those old guys envy, hehehe.
