Chapter 128 Sending Silver to the Emperor
The reason why Mrs. Hua did this was completely a routine of advancing and retreating.
She thought that once she made such a gesture, no matter what she thought in her heart, she would have to be sincerely afraid... Good words to persuade her not to be so "impulsive"...
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for him was He Shen's boat pushing down the river, and in order to die with him, an old woman, he even did not hesitate to go into the water together...
Heshen, you are really her good grandson!
"You rebel grandson, drive your grandmother back to her hometown, is this your filial piety?"
Seeing that it was useless to cry, Mrs. Hua was heartbroken, so she simply asked with a fierce and angry face.
At this time, this shrewd old lady never mentioned the rules of the Hui clan at this moment, and there was also the matter of returning to her hometown in Liaodong...
Lao Taijun was afraid that He Shen would really be ruthless and send her back to her hometown in Liaodong.
Mrs. Hua, who was faintly weak in her heart, wondered if she was really persecuted too much, which made the unfilial descendant in front of her feel murderous.
“…………”
"What else do you want, old lady?"
He Shen spread his hands and said unmoved: "Old lady, do you want your grandson's life in exchange for something, and I am not allowed to resist?" ”
Mrs. Hua was speechless and didn't say a word.
“…………”
The atmosphere was awkward, Hua Lao Taijun, He Shen, Chang Rong and others, big eyes to small eyes, no one dared to break the deadlock.
Fortunately, at this moment, Gui Lai, the chief housekeeper of the Hefu, cautiously reported outside the door: "Old Taijun, the patriarch of the main lineage, please let the young master come over to the mansion!" ”
Hearing this voice, in the main hall, whether it was Hua Lao Taijun, Chang Rong, or He Shen, they were secretly relieved, they were afraid that if they continued to stalemate like this, there would be a bloody conflict in the end!
"Since Uncle Zongyan is invited, then I will leave!"
Hearing this, He Shen got up and smiled lightly, nodded slightly at Old Taijun Hua, turned around and left, as for Chang Rong, he didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.
He Shen's repeated actions can make Mrs. Hua angry enough.
"Look at ......... Look at this bastard grandson, what is this going to do, to dare to talk to his grandmother like this. ”
After He Shen left, Mrs. Hua, who was originally forced into the corner and couldn't retreat, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she was not polite at all, and said angrily.
"It's like this before I'm a minor, and I'll have to pay it back in the future, can there still be a place for me, an old woman, to sit in this mansion?"
"Mother, don't move, be careful of hurting yourself."
To be honest, after seeing He Shen leave, Chang Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, he was also afraid that He Shen Yu would die.
Chang Rong, who originally had a little bit of sowing discord in his heart, was no longer there after such a fuss today.
He had never been so afraid as he was now, and He Shen, who was still immature in his eyes, had grown into a tiger and could eat people.
With such a judgment, Chang Rong is not a real slut, so naturally he has no intention of blowing up the thorns.
Not to mention that in Jiale Hall, the mother and son who were frightened a lot, just said that after He Shen rushed directly to the Mengfu, he saw the uncle Zongyan again.
“…………”
Facing this cheap uncle who was full of majesty, He Shen sighed and said.
"I'm afraid you already know everything that happened in Hefu, the reason why you called someone to come to me is because you don't want the conflict to continue to spread, right..."
On Zong Yan's side, this is the third time he has seen He Shen, the first time they met, He Shen's pride and self-confidence were deeply imprinted in his heart, and the second time they met, they were equally impressed.
When they met again, he thought of many possible answers from He Shen.
For example, is there something wrong with the business between them? Or is there any resentment against him?
He thought of the situation and so on, but he didn't expect that He Shen would ask him in such a calm tone, and even with a little gratitude.
“…………”
Zong Yan's momentum condensed slightly, and the next moment it had quietly declined.
I only heard it, Zong Yan said calmly, "Child, if it is not necessary, you had better not really tear your face with Mrs. Hua." ”
"Filial piety has a great influence in Confucianism, once you really do something irreparable, your career will be ruined."
"Being born in such a family is sad in itself, but since you are born in such a family, it represents your destiny, and that's it."
"If you want to change your fate, you must work countless times harder than ordinary people."
Speaking of this, Zong Yan's gaze became more and more profound.
Looking at Zong Yan, after a long time, He Shen finally spoke, "You are right, born in such a way that if I want to change my destiny, I must pay countless times more effort than others."
“…………”
"Shen'er, for a big family, excellent next-generation talents are the most important!"
"However, the next generation of our Niu Hulu, so many people, but few of them are good seedlings."
"I really don't want you to be ruined in family strife..."
To be honest, it was the first time he had seen such a strange old lady as Mrs. Hua Zongyan.
actually wanted to deprive his grandson of his title and property and hand it over to his second son, which is really something that makes people laugh off.
When he heard about it before, he was almost so angry that he used the clan rules to punish Old Taijun Hua and Chang Rong.
No matter how you say it, he is the patriarch of the Niu Hulu family, the nephew of the current Queen Mother, and it is not a big deal to punish Hua Lao Taijun and Chang Rong.
It was only because he considered that this might cause more trouble for He Shen, the junior he was optimistic about, that he couldn't bear to be unhappy.
The young and the young are disorderly, and the way to bring disaster to the country and the family, doesn't the old lady Hua, who is nearly eighty years old, understand this truth?
"Master, that old butler and Zhong, I want to see you!"
It was dark, and in the evening, Chang Rong, who was sitting in the study and thinking about something, came to report to the servant who was guarding the door of the study.
"Well, Hezhong, what is he doing here?"
Chang Rong has a deep impression of this loyal old housekeeper.
If it weren't for this old guy who had been whirling for the two brothers He Shen and He Lin for a long time, maybe he would have swept the two brothers He Shen and He Lin out of the house and turned them into beggars.
If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you just don't know what this old guy is looking for at this time.
"Call him in!"
Chang Rong hesitated for a moment before saying.
After hearing his master's words, the scholar immediately let him go.
The old housekeeper He Zhong walked into the study, waved his hand neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then said: "Second master, my little master is invited!" ”
"What? Heshen, that little ghost, what's the matter with me? ”
Looking at the old housekeeper and Zhong standing in front of him, Chang Rong felt a little unhappy inexplicably, his brows furrowed slightly, he was puzzled, and even wanted to refuse...
However, because of some obsessions about wanting to be promoted and make a fortune, Chang Rong still got up and walked outside involuntarily......
A mountain villa outside the capital!
In a very secluded secret room.
"Second uncle, do you remember the topic we talked about before, do you want to be promoted..."
As soon as they met, He Shen changed his previous enemy attitude, smiled and groaned, and said directly.
When Chang Rong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart beat for a while, obviously his heart was moved.
However, he couldn't figure out He Shen's true thoughts at all, and he had been cleaned up before, so naturally he was not good at behaving and was too eager.
"Second uncle, don't pretend, what kind of garlic are you pretending to be in front of me, I don't know the little Jiujiu in your heart?"
He Shen glanced at his second uncle Chang Rong with disdain, and said angrily: "Tell you, this is a pretty good opportunity......
"It may even leave a very good impression in the heart of Emperor Qianlong!"
“…………”
"Big nephew, are all these things you said true?"
"It's not a joke..."
Chang Rong's heart turned over, and his face immediately showed a mixture of surprise.
He's just questioning the truth of the matter.
If he can leave a good impression in Emperor Qianlong's heart, he is willing to pay any price.
With the four words Jane in the emperor's heart, isn't it as simple as eating and drinking water to get promoted?
“…………”
"Second uncle, you must know that the price you have to pay to get this big pie that everyone wants is not light!"
Seeing that the second uncle Chang Rong was completely moved, and on the side of He Shen, after arousing the appetite of the second uncle Chang Rong, he was not in a hurry to expose this mystery.
Facing the anxious second uncle Chang Rong, He Shen simply diverted the topic and started a big circle.
He said: "To be honest, on my side, everything is ready, but I don't know, on the side of the second uncle Changrong, do you have this determination!" ”
“…………”
Hearing that He Shen said so solemnly, although Chang Rong was very anxious, he still thought seriously for a long time.
After a long time, Chang Rong spoke: "I must have the determination, you just say it."
He felt that no matter what the price was, it was nothing to gain the approval of Emperor Qianlong.
Now, he has some impatience, in his opinion, nothing in this world is as good as being promoted and getting rich.
Besides, the price may not be small, but the benefits must be greater than the cost, and he Changrong still knows this point...
"Second uncle, you know, our Emperor Qianlong is preparing to go to the south of the Yangtze River for the second time..."
"However, there is no extra silver in the treasury, and this is a great opportunity..."
He Shen rubbed his fingers and said with a smile.
"The emperor is still short of silver, can't he?"
As soon as he heard that the emperor was short of silver, Chang Rong was a little unconvinced, frowned, and didn't believe He Shen's words at all.
In his mind, the whole world belongs to the emperor, can the emperor have no money, how can he have no silver?
"Hehe, the world is one person, this is everyone's understanding of the emperor, but in this world, is it really the emperor alone?"
