Chapter 208: Extravagance (2)

His plans were frustrated, and Shi Hui returned home with grief and trepidation.

Mrs. Wang saw that her husband's plan was implemented smoothly before, and she thought that this time she would definitely be able to bring down Jia Gong, but she didn't expect to run into Jia Mi's nail. She had also heard of this character in her ears, but she didn't understand why her husband was so jealous of him, so she asked: "What I heard about Jia Mi is just a little offspring, what is the husband afraid of him?" ”

"It's true that the little queen was born, but he is the son of the younger sister of the queen of Jia, and he is deeply favored by the queen of Jia, which should not be underestimated. It's not just me, now the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who dares to offend him? Not only did he not dare to offend, but he was also proud to make friends with Jia Mi. The Shi family is one of the best families in this dynasty, and they can't wait to flatter Jia Mi. Not to mention my family! ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she understood, and said with a little surprise: "According to this, what you did today not only did not stammer Jia Mi, but also offended him?" ”

Shi Hui shook his head helplessly: "It's not, I thought it was a matter of course, but I didn't want to ...... Hey, it's unexpected! ”

Mrs. Wang also sighed when she heard this, paused for a while, and then asked, "The matter has come to this, I don't know what the husband has planned?" ”

"The root cause of offending Jia Mi is offending Jia Gong. The purpose of my series of actions to get rid of Qiu Shoutai is to replace Jia Gong's great zhongzheng. Now that Jia Gong can't be defeated, he must throw this pot out. ”

Mrs. Wang was surprised: "Now everyone knows that you made all this, how can you get it out?" Dump to whom? ”

"Of course, it's to Shu Yan!" Shi Hui stroked his beard, "If this matter is traced back to its origin, everything originated from the two letters that Shu Yan received from Ruyin's hometown. Fortunately, I left a back hand and presented the letter to the court as evidence. ”

"Shu Yan is just a small car government order, if you let him carry this black cauldron, I'm afraid it won't be possible, right?"

"Hey, hey." Shi Hui sneered and said, "You don't know that Shu Yan is a young man, he is jealous and hateful, and he dares to touch anything." In order to reduce the levy, he dared to have a hard fight with the Manchu ministers in the court. What is not credible about saying that he dares to offend Jia Gong, Qiu Shoutai and others? ”

Madame Wang was silent.

"It's not safe to just lead hatred to others, I need to have a bolder idea to seek a greater guarantee for my family."

"What else do you have on your mind?"

"Marry the royal family and let De'er be a concubine."

"Huh?" Mrs. Wang didn't react for a while, "This is too whimsical, isn't it?" Why did you have this idea? ”

Shi Hui smiled and said: "Madam doesn't know, it's not my whim, but it's the right time to vote for Queen Jia." Now in the harem, there are not only princesses born to His Majesty and other concubines, but also several eldest princesses left by the previous emperor. These people could not be treated by Empress Jia. When I met with Empress Jia today, she revealed to me that she wanted to send these people out as soon as possible to be satisfied. ”

"I'm afraid this is just your wishful thinking, and it can't be realized. Any family in Luoyang City, even if it is a prominent family, we have the possibility of concluding Qin and Jin with him. But the royal family is a royal family after all, even if Empress Jia intends to clear these people out of the palace as soon as possible, it is not something we can climb casually. ”

"It's man-made. Just like your Langya royal family, Wang Dun first became the emperor's concubine, and now Wang Yan's eldest daughter is about to be the crown princess. ”

Mrs. Wang listened and said: "The Shi family is the Shi family, and the Wang family is the Wang family." Is anyone eligible to marry the royal family? Don't look at your family's wealth, if you talk about family background, how can your Shi family be compared with our Wang family! ”

If it is not that Mrs. Wang is arrogant, it is true. Shi Hui was robbed by his wife and had nothing to say, so he had to say sarcastically: "How else to say that it is man-made." Wang Yan not only wants the eldest daughter to marry the prince, but the younger daughter also wants to marry Jia Mi. The two people with the most potential power in the future in this dynasty were occupied by his family. Now that he is in the limelight, why don't we just follow his path? ”

In order to prevent Jia Gong's retaliation, Shi Hui wanted to dump the pot on Shu Yan on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was whimsical and wanted to climb the royal family. A few days later, he really personally sent an invitation to Wang Yan, and respectfully invited Wang Yan to the house.

Although Wang Yan is also good at change, he has a lot of personality. He once scattered his family wealth in order to pursue the demeanor of a celebrity. I only like to associate with celebrities and celebrities in the same way. If he looks down on someone, he won't make friends with that person, no matter how powerful that person is. thought that Yang Jun admired him very much back then and wanted to marry a daughter to him, but he despised Yang Jun very much and did not accept this family business.

In the same way, he is not very fond of charity. thinks that Shi Hui will only blindly drill camps, for fame and fortune, unscrupulous means, without any backbone, just a nobleman covered in copper smell, and completely devoid of the demeanor of celebrities and gentlemen admired by the times. On the contrary, he is very fond of Biyu. Because Biyu's personality is different from his father's, he likes demeanor, does not pay attention to management, and has the demeanor of a celebrity. Wang Yan hindered the relationship between his sister and Mrs. Wang, gave Shi Hui this face, and came to Shi Mansion as a guest. After sitting with Shi Hui for a while, he wanted to see Biyu. Shi Hui had no choice but to send someone to call Biyu.

Biyu has long admired Wang Yan very much, regarded Wang Yan as his idol, and secretly determined to be a master of metaphysics like him. On weekdays, I only hate the lack of contact opportunities, but when I saw Wang Yan today, I was ecstatic, and I didn't ask why Wang Yan came to my house, I just wanted to ask for mysteries. Wang Yan also regarded Biyu as a fellow practitioner, admiring Biyu's scorching demeanor and clever speech. As soon as the two met, they cut into the metaphysics without two sentences, and Yu Shihui's serious things didn't care.

Shi Hui was in a hurry, but there was no way. He sat like this, which was very embarrassing and boring, and he had no choice but to interject a sentence from time to time. Although he is from a family, he lacks that kind of free and easy demeanor, and he is only an introduction to Qing Talk, and it is inappropriate to occasionally insert two sentences, and he can't be reasoned, like a rookie. Wang Yan listened to him out of politeness at first, but later saw that he couldn't keep up with the road at all, so he simply ignored him and only talked to Biyu. The conversation lasted two hours before it was over. Wang Yan was very satisfied, and he was even more excited than jade.

Shi Hui finally looked forward to the end of the game, and he had the opportunity to say normal things and do serious things. Taking advantage of Wang Yan's good mood, he continued to flatter him and said: "The Zun family is all in important positions in the current dynasty, and there are many famous people and famous people all over the world. A certain family, if you want to say that a generation occasionally arises, even if it achieves the three princes, it is nothing, and it is rare that it will prosper forever. I heard that the Langya Wang clan has been developed for hundreds of years from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it can really be described as a tumbler. ”

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, in terms of ostentatious capital, wealth, officials and other things were secondary, and the most important thing was family history. This topic was obviously favored by Wang Yan, of course he was happy, and said even more proudly: "Why is it the Han Dynasty? The ancestors of my Langya Wang clan were the famous generals of Qin Shi Huang's extermination of the Six Kingdoms. ”

Shi Hui knew that what Wang Yan was talking about was Wang Qian, and because it involved the avoidance of the ancestors' names, he couldn't say the name directly, so he said that.

At that time, in order to improve their own background status, it was very common for people to pretend to be aristocratic celebrities with the same surname in ancient times as their ancestors. Shi Hui didn't care whether what Wang Yan said was true or not, he just pretended to be surprised: "Oh! Amazing, amazing. That's a famous general of the Qin period on the same level as Bai Qi and Meng Tian. ”

"Eh, what is a famous general in the Qin period alone? My ancestors were ranked number one throughout the Warring States Period, known as one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. Speaking of Qin Shiming's future, what is Bai Qi and Meng Tian, what is compared to my ancestors? The two of them, one is famous for digging pits, and the other is famous for building walls; One before reunification and one after reunification. And Qin Shi Huang's real unification cause, the greatest credit is my ancestors Wang Jian and Wang Ben father and son. Five of the six nations were destroyed by their father and son. Who can take the credit for this? Wang Yan said that when he was excited, he didn't pay attention to the avoidance of the names of his ancestors.

"Indeed, indeed." Shi Hui hurriedly complimented, "It is not an exaggeration to say that the merits of the ancestors are miraculous through the ages. The great credit is only one aspect, compared to the sad fate of Bai Qi and Meng Tian, the most rare thing is that after reaching the point of high merit and shocking the lord, he can still retreat and be crowned a marquis. That's brilliant! In this way, the Zun family is after the famous generals and the wise men. However, no matter how prominent the ancestors are, they also need the descendants to carry forward the inheritance. The Zun family has been developed for hundreds of years, and it is inseparable from the talents of the descendants of the Wang family. In particular, you are the best among them, and you are as enlightened as a god, and you are not only publicly promoted as the leader of today's Qing Tan, but now it is the icing on the cake. I heard that the two Ling Yuan, one has promised to marry the imperial prince Jia Shizhong, and the eldest daughter has been elected as the crown princess, and she will be the queen in the future. I have to rely on the Shi family. ”

Although he didn't appreciate Shi Hui very much, after the other party's praise, Wang Yan was very useful, and said with a smile and humbly: "The Shi family is also a famous family, my sister-in-law is a Zongzheng, a virtuous nephew and a young talent, the future is limitless, you and I are in-laws, it is too humble and too obvious to say this!" ”

"Although the child has some talents, it's just ...... It's just that there has been no movement in this marriage for a long time, which makes my husband and wife anxious, and I ask you to be an uncle to bother a lot. ”

Biyu was originally in a very good mood, but when it came to marriage, he immediately withered, looking at his nose and nose, his nose and mouth, he was stunned and didn't say a word.

Wang Yan turned his head to Biyu: "With such a talented nephew, the ladies in Luoyang City can be picked at will, but I am afraid that your own vision is too high, so you have delayed this!" ”

"It's true that there have been a lot of people who have proposed marriage, but they have all failed." At this time, Shi Hui paused deliberately and sighed, "When it comes to marriage, it is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, but ...... You may not know that those princesses and eldest princesses in the harem today make Empress Jia very upset. ”

Of course, Wang Yan understood what was going on in the harem, and joked: "The marriage of children is the same with the royal family." There are so many women from the family who don't like the virtuous nephew, can't the princess in the palace be satisfied? ”

This is just Wang Yan's joking words, who knows that Shi Hui is waiting for the rabbit, this remark is in his heart: "Lord Shang is not something that anyone dares to ask for, but since the virtuous brother has proposed it, it shouldn't be groundless, right?" ”

Hey? When Wang Yan heard this, he was inexplicable: How can this favor be like a three-year-old child, is everything others say seriously? This kind of thing is not even modest, it really has a face!

"This, just talk about it, you don't need to be serious, Lord Shang is not making trouble."

"Why, does Brother Xian look down on my Shi family? The daughter of the royal family must be a marquis, I know this. Although I, Shi, am not a prince, but I am also a township marquis, I can barely say it, right? ”

"Uh-sister-in-law misunderstood. I mean, the forbidden land of the palace is not something I can come and go as I please, and even if I am willing to do this, there is nothing I can do. Seeing Shi Hui's dead face, Wang Yan could only look for excuses.

"That's your excuse. Who doesn't know that Mrs. Zun and Empress Jia are related, and Ling Ai wants to be the crown princess, and the virtuous brother can't do this, but you can ask Mrs. Zun and Ling Ai to do it for you. ”

"Uh......"

Wang Yan took a hot potato, and was speechless, when he suddenly saw Biyu stand up and said expressionlessly: "I don't want any princess!" Except for the Shi family, no one else is exempt from talking! ”

I don't know who said this to these two people, anyway, Biyu turned around and left after saying this. Wang Yan only understood half of it, so he went down the steps and said, "The virtuous nephew himself doesn't want to be the master, what are we worrying about here?" Besides, what is the 'Shi family' he is talking about? ”

Of course, Shi Hui knew what his son meant, but he must not say it to Wang Yanshi. He stroked his beard and said: "What Xiao'er said is a 'family', not a 'Shi family', that is, he only wants to marry a woman from a family." As for what he said about not wanting to be a princess, it is nothing more than being afraid of the princess's golden branches and jade leaves, and he is humble and timid in comparison. As everyone knows, a woman 'obeys her father at home, her husband in marriage, and her husband obeys her son in death', which is the precept of the saints, even princesses. What is there to worry about? You don't have to pay attention to the words of the child, or hope that you can take care of the things of the Lord at your feet! ”

Under Shi Hui's strength, Wang Yan had no way out, so he had to agree first. Shi Hui had already prepared the rare delicacies, treated Wang Yan well, and sent him back to the house in person, so that he could be relieved.

Some people died, but not completely......
