Hearing this, Shen Baizhou's complexion changed first, and he looked at Shen Hanzhang as if he didn't know anything about it.

On the other hand, Shen Hanzhang only changed the expression in his eyes slightly, and there was no change on his face, and he nodded when he saw Shen Baizhou.

If it weren't for Shen Yulin's appearance, they might not have come to the county lord's mansion today, so when they heard Hua Zhen mention it at this moment, there was no change in their hearts immediately, and they just sighed lightly.

"Yes, but I didn't see it with my own eyes, and by the time I knew, she was gone. At present, the Shen family, except for the eldest uncle, is very puzzled by the sudden appearance of the fourth sister. Shen Hanzhang said with a very solemn face.

"At the beginning, she sent someone to poison her cousin and was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, but she was later rescued. At that time, I thought about whether it could be done by the uncle and the eldest brother, and I secretly investigated this matter, and found that the matter had nothing to do with the eldest brother and the uncle, and they seemed to have never thought of saving the fourth sister. ”

"Does that cousin know who rescued her?" Hua Zhen frowned slightly when she heard this.

Shen Hanzhang shook his head: "The group of people who entered the Criminal Department to save people should have an internal response, and they didn't alarm anyone, so they rescued the fourth sister." And after saving people, he disappeared in Beijing, and no matter how I sent someone to track it down, I didn't find the slightest trace. At that time, I also thought about what kind of person I was, I would think about saving the fourth sister, the fourth sister was just a concubine of the Shen family, and the fourth aunt had no background, it turned out to be just a maid in the aunt's room. Now it seems that this person rescued the fourth sister, but I am afraid that he did not take a fancy to the fourth sister, but to the uncle and the Shen family. ”

"For my uncle?"

Shen Hanzhang nodded: "The only value of the fourth sister is that she is the daughter of the Shen family, and there is no other value." ”

Seeing that Shen Hanzhang said so firmly, Hua Zhen immediately frowned even deeper.

"Originally, I wasn't sure, but now that the fourth sister has returned to the Shen family, I think I'm afraid I'm not wrong. My cousin can think about it, if the person who saved her was not the Shen family, she would never be allowed to return to the capital, after all, once her whereabouts were discovered, she would definitely die. Since they saved her, why did they want her to send her to death, and if this matter is not good, it will even implicate themselves. But now that the fourth sister has not only returned to the capital, but also returned to the Shen family, it can be concluded that from the beginning, what they calculated was only the identity of the fourth sister, and what they calculated was just to use the fourth sister to control the entire Shen family. Of course, this is just my guess, and no one knows how. Shen Hanzhang said, but the look in his eyes was extremely firm.

Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this: "My cousin also knows that now that my identity is going back to the Shen Mansion, I am afraid that I will not be treated well, and I will not cause unnecessary trouble when the time comes." When my eldest aunt died, my eldest cousin and second and fourth sisters all hated me, and they couldn't say that they wanted to kill me. In the future, the affairs of the Shen family will be more troublesome to my cousin and second aunt, and as for the second uncle's kindness to Zhen'er, Zhen'er will keep it in mind. Last time, I heard that Master Li Yuli, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said that now the shortage of the cavalry general in the court is still empty, and the second uncle has always led the troops on the battlefield, and he has experienced a hundred battles, so he should also be a general. Ning's grandfather also mentioned that the emperor has always been worried about this matter, thinking that although there are many generals in the court, there are only a few people who can afford this cavalry general, and he can't make a choice for a while.

I have discussed with Zhongshuling and Shizhong several times, and this service center thinks that Yang Xuanyan and General Yang can take on this important responsibility, but Zhongshuling Jiang Wei thinks that the second uncle is more suitable, and it is because the two of them insist on their own words, so the emperor is in a dilemma. ”

Shen Hanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Hua Zhen and stood up: "There is such a thing?"

"The second uncle is my own uncle, I don't talk nonsense, it's true. Hua Zhen said while looking at Shen Hanzhang's face, and then the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she said with a chuckle: "Not only that, Grandfather Ning also told me a secret, that is, there is a concubine in the house of this servant, and she is deeply liked. ”

The meaning of this is obvious, that is, to tell Shen Hanzhang that if Shen Chongwen can sit in the position of this cavalry general, there is only one way, that is, to start with the concubine of *.

Shen Hanzhang is a smart person, and immediately understood what Hua Zhen meant, and his face was very grateful: "Hanzhang thanked his cousin for his father. ”

"Second cousin, don't be so polite, Zhen'er hasn't finished saying this yet. ”

Hearing this, Shen Hanzhang felt that he was a little anxious, and immediately smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, Zhen'er, you can say it." ”

Hua Zhen said softly when she heard this: "This * concubine was born as an official slave, and she was originally the daughter of a criminal minister, but because she was born beautifully, she was favored by *." She is a noble person, and she originally didn't want to be a concubine, but her younger brother was suffering from a stubborn illness, and in order to treat her brother's illness, she could only commit to *. If the second uncle wants to start with this concubine, then he must first cure his brother's illness. My cousin also saw it just now, Mr. Lu, the housekeeper of my county lord's mansion, although it was my grandfather Ning who was worried about my safety and asked him to protect me, from the outside, it looks like he is just an official gentleman, but Mr. Lu is actually a famous doctor in the world, and his medical skills are not as good as the imperial doctor's order. ”

Shen Hanzhang was also a little more grateful when he heard this, and bowed deeply: "If this matter can be done, Zhen'er's great kindness and great virtue, my father and son will remember it in my heart." ”

The smile in Hua Zhen's eyes was shallow when she heard this, and then she looked at Shen Hanzhang, and there was a deep meaning in her words: "No matter how good this inherited title is, it won't last three generations, and it will always have to be worn out little by little, but if it is the merit you have earned, it will be different, the second uncle has been up and down in the officialdom for so many years, even if you look at others, you should understand this reason." ”

After saying that, he stood up.

Shen Hanzhang was stunned, then put away the look on his face, and didn't dare to despise Hua Zhen at all.

"What Zhen'er said, my cousin will definitely tell my father, and please rest assured, as long as you are your father's niece and Hanzhang's cousin, the second room of the Shen family will be your dependence and your maiden family. ”

Hua Zhen thanked her cousin. Hua Zhen said that she was blessed.

Here Lu Wei has already sent things over, Lu Wei is a smart person, and he knew it when he looked at Hua Zhen's face.

This should be picked up are all good things, there are not many next to the county lord's mansion, but these rewards are very much.

Any few of them are precious.

Shen Hanzhang saw the contents of this brocade box, and immediately changed his face: "Zhen'er, these are too precious to be used." ”

"What's the reason why I can't do it, the second aunt is Zhen'er's maternal uncle, although there is still the Ning family, but after all, the Shen family is Zhen'er's relatives. Zhen'er sent these things to her aunt, and she made it, and asked her cousin not to excuse herself, after all, this is Zhen'er's heart. Hua Hao said with a smile on her eyebrows.

Shen Hanzhang looked at it, his eyes flickered, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since this is the case, I will thank Zhen'er for my mother." I heard that Zhen'er was afraid that she was tired these days in the Dongjun Palace, so I didn't disturb Zhen'er to rest first. ”

When Hua Zhen heard this, she instructed Lu Wei to personally send them out.

When the people left, Aunt Zhou said softly: "County Lord, can they be trusted?"

Hua Zhen smiled when she heard this: "This second room of the Shen family is just seeking fame and fortune, not a ruthless person, and he can be trusted." ”

"But at the beginning, Shen Chongwen..."

Aunt Zhou didn't finish speaking, but Hua Zhen understood what she meant, at the beginning, Shen Chongmao handed over the dead man to Shen Chongwen, which can be regarded as absolute trust, but Shen Chongwen is now surrendering to Hua Zhen, which is tantamount to treachery.

If you can do this to your brother now, you can't say that you will betray Hua Zhen in the future.

"There are some things that Aunt Zhou doesn't know, the most powerful thing about my second uncle is not his cleverness, but his forbearance. If he hadn't known how to pretend to be stupid and stunned all these years, and how to show a loyal and unbiased appearance in front of his eldest brother, I am afraid that he would have followed his aunt to his life more than ten years ago. It is precisely because of this that he wants to destroy the Shen family and the Shen family's house more than me. Aunt Zhou should see from the fact that he can raise my third cousin as his own son, my second uncle is not a simple character. ”

Aunt Zhou nodded when she heard this.

When Shen Hanzhang was talking about Shen Chongmao just now, he didn't shy away from Shen Baizhou at all, and even took Shen Baizhou to participate in such a thing as Toucheng Huazhen.

They have completely raised Shen Baizhou into their own person, this is not something that can be successful overnight, I am afraid that in order to overwhelm the big house, Shen Chongwen has been preparing since more than ten years ago.

It was precisely because of this that Aunt Zhou was even more worried: "This proves even more that the second master of the Shen family is not a good person." It's easy for a county lord to deal with smart people, but it's not a good thing to deal with people who are too smart. ”

"Having said that, there are no absolutes, a person like the second uncle, if you want to control him, it is naturally not a simple matter, and you can't say that you will rebel, but if you use the right method and follow his thoughts, there will be nothing. Aunt Zhou, don't forget, we don't expect him to do anything, just let him help keep an eye on the Shen family, a position of a cavalry general, change an eyeliner, he won't have any opinions. Hua Zhen said and turned and walked towards the theater.

sighed in his heart, he was afraid that the hot water in the house was already cold, and he had to ask Jiang Fu and them to prepare again.

Here, Shen Hanzhang and Shen Baizhou left the county lord's mansion and walked around outside, and then returned to the second room of the Shen family.

The second lady looked at the things that Shen Hanzhang brought back, and was a little incredulous: "This is all given to me by her?"

Shen Hanzhang nodded when he heard this, but he remembered the matter of General Xiaocai in his heart, and he didn't have the time to explain, so he asked Shen Chongwen where he was and left directly.

It was Shen Baizhou who told Hua Zhen's words to the second lady in a choosing.

Suddenly made the second lady happy, and said vigorously: "I knew she was so generous, I should have been better to her at the beginning." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the jewelry that Hua Zhen had ordered to be sent, most of which were gifts from nobles in the palace.

But they are all ordinary outside, and they can have such a golden hairpin, and they only saw that one of the eldest lady was still rewarded at the palace banquet when Queen Renxiao was there.

made her eyes red for a long time, but she didn't expect that now Hua Zhen's shot was three, and she suddenly made her happy mouth with a strong reading of Hua Zhen's good.

Shen Hanzhang didn't have time to pay attention to these, and went straight to the study to find Shen Chongwen.
