Chapter Ninety-Four: Before Dawn (940 Pink Tickets)
The Shen family's birthday feast made the emperor a little unhappy and very unhappy; He originally thought that there would be few people in the Shen family, but he didn't want to have twenty or thirty people; And there are a lot of royal people in it. β
It's just that some of the people in it can't be moved: such as the eldest princess, and several of his imperial uncles - all of them are extremely expensive, but they are not a threat to the imperial power, and to tell the truth, they are still relatively protective of him. $ Lewdness
Although in the affairs of the Shen family, these people sang against him, but the emperor could not be angry with them; Zong Zheng would not agree, so the emperor's face was a little dark today: he took someone to the Shen Mansion and rewarded some things for Shen Laozu's birthday.
Because of this, the people of the Shen family entered the palace to thank him, but the emperor smiled: he was angry again, and he couldn't attack the people of the Shen family; But among the people who congratulated the birthday, except for the princess and the prince, most of them were important ministers in the court, and they were all ministers who were highly praised, hard-boned, and recognized death.
Although these people have never been very liked by the emperor, he understands that governing the country is inseparable from these people: although these people do not like what they say, they are indeed stupid; Moreover, some people have been in the court for many years, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s, and any of them will be shocked by the government and the opposition. Moreover, the emperor believed that for the sake of a Shen family, he would treat the sins of important ministers, and he really promoted the Shen family.
Except for these people, the rest of them are all little-known officials, and the emperor really disdains to be angry with them? Thinking about it, the emperor can only sulk in addition to sulking.
After the eldest princess and the others left, Red Sleeves sighed lightly: she didn't know that the Shen family should hand over the military power, but they wanted to hand it over to the emperor but didn't want to accept it; In other words, the emperor didn't want to just take it gently.
The emperor thought that this was just a formality, and it was not to destroy the prestige of the Shen family in the army: so he would not be at ease. β
It's just the kindness of the eldest princess, Red Sleeves still told the old Marquis Shen, and several princes have the same meaning, they want to help the Shen family hand over the military power! After a few years of peace, the Shen family will no longer be regarded as a thorn in the emperor's side.
It's not that the eldest princess and others like to be troublesome, it's really that they know that the current tranquility at the border is not equal to long-term tranquility, and the people who can fight well in the DPRK and China are, of course, the Shen and Zheng families: for the sake of the future, the lives of the Shen and Zheng families must be saved.
Red Sleeves understood what the eldest princess meant, just like the Yang family general she had heard from Cobalt: no matter how persecuted the Yang family general, the Yang family would always have a way to live in the end; When there is a war at the border, the emperor's envoy will have something to rely on.
It's just that the current emperor doesn't seem to understand this truth; In other words, he thinks that without the Shen and Zheng families, there are still so many generals in the Manchu Dynasty, how can there be no people who lead troops to fight; Therefore, the eldest princess and the others are afraid that their efforts will be in vain.
Old Marquis Shen just sighed for a long time: "Do. Still have to do. β
Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves both lowered their heads, didn't say anything, although the emperor would still not allow the military power to be mentioned again, but they couldn't refute the face of the eldest princess and the others too much.
As Red Sleeves expected, the emperor still encouraged the old marquis Shen with good words, but he still did not approve the invitation of the Shen family.
In the blink of an eye, winter turned to spring, and everything on the earth revived after a long winter} and the emperor was now busy dealing with Wuxia's brother, and for nearly three or four months, there was no husband to pay attention to the Shen Mansion. β
This side has allowed the people of the Shen family to live a comfortable life for a few months: it is impossible to really be completely comfortable, because the emperor did not take away the sword hanging over the heads of the people of the Shen family, how can they really live with peace of mind.
However, they didn't come to find trouble, and Red Sleeves and the others still lived peacefully; Of course, a big family lives a life, not every day is harmonious and beautiful, there are always some small stumbles, but each room can let go of these after a few years, and get harmonious again.
Such days make Red Sleeves feel very real, and she lives a fulfilling life.
The Seventh Lady gave birth to a son, which made everyone in the Shen family happy but slightly disappointed; When everyone sat around and gossiped, they couldn't help but guess that the Shen family would not have only sons and no girls in the future, right? Of course, no one was really worried, but everyone slowly became fond of girls.
Meng Qi was very happy, she and a few unmarried girls gathered around Shen Laozu every day, talking and laughing and becoming a female celebrity, or reading some books to Shen Laozu, and living happily than before: if they didn't have worries in their hearts.
It's just that their worries can only be pressed in the bottom of their hearts, and they work hard to be filial in front of their elders, and don't make trouble for the sisters-in-law of the red sleeves; No matter what happened outside the house, they couldn't do anything.
Of course, the Shen family has not been idle, Red Sleeves and others are busy, but not everyone knows what they are busy inviting.
And in the court, someone finally challenged the Shen family again: I don't know how the death of the second lady spread among the good deeds in the court, and finally it was rumored that the Shen family killed the second lady. β
In the end, there is a royal history based on rumors: they could originally be heard, and the Shen family can't say that the two imperial histories are simply unable to get along with the Shen family; But it's not a bad thing, if no one picks out this matter, the people of the Shen family can only remain silent, and they can't justify it.
But the emperor didn't know if it was because he had no time to give up, or did he want to see the jokes of the Shen family, but he didn't leave the excerpt and didn't ask a word? The imperial historians have made three folds in a month, but they are all the same.
As a result, the matter became semi-clear, and some ministers began to question and talk about it; But the people of the Shen family are not good at confessing anything for no reason, so they can only continue to be silent.
Red Sleeves saw that the Shen family was hurt by rumors, and knew that there was someone who could save the Shen family from fire and water, but the Shen family was not easy to trouble her; And everyone in the Shen family also knew about it, but no one mentioned it.
The rumors have become more and more intense, and they have begun to become popular in the community, causing great damage to the reputation of the Shen family; When the servants of the Shen family went out, they had a few quarrels with people.
At this time, Mrs. Chu came to visit Shen's house, which made people in the market speculate; Looking at Mrs. Chu's appearance, Bushuo came to settle accounts with the Shen family.
When Mrs. Chu arrived at the Shen family, she didn't politely explain her intention directly, "It's just for those rumors; It was about her daughter, and she couldn't stay silent; Although she was extremely reluctant to mention the matter, she had to come forward at this time.
Mrs. Shen thanked Mrs. Chu and said that the matter would go with it; Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, ignoring those rumors, and after a long time, there will naturally be nothing to do.
Mrs. Chu understands that Mrs. Shen is comforting her, at this time, these rumors can be said to be the pioneer of the Shen family's life, she owes the Shen family a favor, so she came to repay this favor, and also for the sake of her daughter's death, I hope that the people of the Shen family can truly forgive the dead second lady.
After listening to Mrs. Chu's words, the people of the Shen family sighed lightly: "We can't agree to this matter; At present, the Shen family is different from the past, so it is clear that Mrs. forgives, we don't want to bring disaster to the Chu family. β
Mrs. Chu smiled: "What kind of calamity 7 is really at that time, I will naturally want to excuse myself, let's take care of the present first." She thought of her only granddaughter, the only person she had been connected to in the world.
After she has done so much, I believe that the Shen family will definitely treat her well, and she will be more upright when she sees her granddaughter.
At Mrs. Chu's insistence, Mrs. Shen agreed to the matter.
Soon after Mrs. Chu left, the Shen family sent someone to propose marriage: to propose marriage to Miss Xingxing for Shen Siye. And Mrs. Chu also agreed to this, and the two families quickly made a decision.
None of the Shen and Chu families said a word about the rumors, but the rumors quietly disappeared invisibly, if the second lady was really killed by the Shen family, of course the Shen and Chu families would not marry again; This is the most powerful counterattack.
Because of this, Mrs. Shen and the others were extremely grateful to Mrs. Chu and Lianxing, and treated Shen Siye like Shen Miaoge, which made the third master and his wife overjoyed, and they didn't want to have such a good thing.
After hearing that the Shen and Chu families were engaged, the queen sighed lightly: "This kind of little trick will not work, what is going on with the second lady and the second master in their mansion, only the people in their mansion know; Now that the Chu family has come forward, the rumors have naturally disappeared. β
She shook her head slightly: "My brother's work is getting more and more outrageous." "But think about it, there is only one Lu'an county lord who can make things happen, but she has already gone back with her daughter and son-in-law.
The queen thought of the farm shops that Shen Wu brought to Lu'an's house, and sighed again: If it were her, she would also get such benefits and leave the appointment.
It's just that what should I do now? That Wuxia, speaking of which, was also done by the Shen family: at the beginning, did they get to today's situation, so they designed Wuxia to enter the palace? In other words, now Wuxia's brother is aggressively asking the guilt, is it the Shen family's hands and feet behind his back? She's a bit of a pawn now.
Because she looked at the emperor's meaning, she wanted to calm the anger of Wuxia's brother, and she was afraid that she would raise Wuxia's status: with the imperial concubine, she was equivalent to having a person in the harem who was restrained and a person who resisted the court.
She also has a headache now, so she really wants to help the emperor get rid of the Shen family's heart disease, so as to favor the country; Otherwise, in the future, it is natural that Wuxia will compete with her in the harem for the short length of the day with her brother.
The queen is anxious, and the emperor is also anxious, but for now, it is better to appease the anger of Brother Wuxia before anything else; Fortunately, Wuxia is very knowledgeable, and she can always help him say a word or two; But seeing that the Shen family went to the court every day to discuss politics, he felt that the eyes of the old marquis Shen and others were sarcastic, laughing at him, the emperor could not do without the Shen family.
So he wanted to get rid of the Shen family even more now, but he couldn't take care of it for a while.
When the emperor and the empress both had a headache, they got an unexpected news that made the couple twelve points happy: the Shen family, this time they won't let go of anything.
For the sake of prudence, the emperor did not immediately attack the Shen family, but brought everyone to the front and interrogated them carefully, and then asked people to visit carefully, he didn't care about waiting a little longer. Besides, why do you have to send Wuxia's brother away before he can do anything to the Shen family.
The fourth is more presented, and the pink ticket is doubled. Let's support little women more.
