The news that Shen Tingjun was going to get married spread like this, and soon spread out of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion and into the ears of many nobles and wealthy families in the capital.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the capital is becoming more and more lively day by day.

And with the news that Shen Hou was going to marry a wife, the excitement went to the next level. It's like pouring a scoop of cold water in hot oil, and it explodes in an instant.

Not only the wealthy and noble, but also the subordinates secretly inquired about who Shen Hou's intended person was; Even the people in the market are talking about it. Those large and small gambling houses have all opened their plates and followed the fun to see which lady can be selected.

All kinds of specious gossip spread all over the capital, and today's one is the daughter of the Taifu family and the returning home; Tomorrow, the one will say, Xu is the little granddaughter of the Otsuka Zai family, and he can't say it; The day after tomorrow, some people said that maybe it was the second girl who had just returned from the south in the Zhenguo General's Mansion......

Almost all of the ladies in the entire capital who can be ranked are privately pulled out for a walk. Even the lord of Evergreen who was imprisoned in the mansion was mentioned by someone. But who is the "intended person", it is actually the people in the capital who have been inquiring for a long time, but they have not found out why.

Seeing this, those noble families couldn't help but sigh, so they said, "Shen Hou's secret work has really arrived home." ”

"Maybe I'm afraid that Evergreen will make a fuss. After all, you know, I heard that the porcelain on the Evergreen County Lord's Mansion has broken batch after batch these days. For the purchase of the county lord's mansion, I have to order brand new porcelain almost every day. ”

"I don't know who can set Shen Hou's old house on fire. Before I entered the door, I took care of ...... first."

"Maybe we'll find out in a few days."

……

Shen Tingjun entered the palace on duty, and was naturally teased by Emperor Longqing and the crown prince.

These two supreme and noble people in the world are naturally curious about who Shen Tingjun wants to marry.

Emperor Longqing asked jokingly, and Shen Tingjun naturally had no reason not to say it. Although he still wanted to hide it, then his heart moved, and he thought of something. I think maybe I can change the big gift this time.

Shen Tingjun immediately said some things vaguely.

He didn't say it carefully, and in many places he even skipped it outright. But whether it is Emperor Longqing or the crown prince, they are not simple-minded. There are some things that he doesn't even need to say carefully, just think about them and know that there is something hidden in them.

Of course, in front of his beloved courtiers, neither Emperor Longqing nor the crown prince asked. But what they think in their hearts, only they know.

However, even if they were as calm as Emperor Longqing and the crown prince, when they heard that Shen Tingjun's daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door was the sister who had just been found by the mighty general Sang Fuyue of Minzhou, and was now five or six months pregnant, the expressions of the father and son were rarely synchronized: they both became indescribable.

Not only did the prince sigh twice, but he looked at Shen Tingjun with incredible eyes. Even Emperor Longqing glanced at this confidant several times, as if he had only met him for the first time today.

It's no wonder that the father and son made a fuss, it's really a matter of Shen Tingjun and the woman's unclear and hooked up, and it really doesn't seem like he can do it.

After all, in the impression of the two, Ziyuan has always been steady and silent, cold-faced, clean, and graceful.

Forcing the woman to ...... like this Yes, although he didn't listen to too many details, Emperor Longqing had watched the excerpts played by General Chang Lao earlier.

In the excerpt, he wrote about his experience of "admitting the wrong person", and also wrote that if it weren't for the Sang girl's search for people for many years and hard work, I am afraid that I still don't know Lei Shuanghan's original name is Sang Fuyue. He was the eldest son of the Sang family, a great bookseller in Jinju, not a distant relative of his five suits.

Because in the excerpt, General Chang Lao attributed all the fault to his own negligence, and praised and praised the Sang girl, and Emperor Yilongqing had a good impression of this woman.

After he saw the excerpts, he returned to the harem and sighed with the queen. It is said that although the daughter of the Sang family was born in the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, she was raised by several Jinshi of the Sang family since she was a child, but she was raised with good tenacity and good temperament.

He even thought about getting a commendation or something for the Sang girl, but was stopped by the queen.

According to the queen's meaning, the Sang woman is certainly commendable and can be an example for women in the world. But when the daughter's family is idle in the world, who wants to experience the pain she has experienced?

I don't know if my husband and mother are gone, my brother is alive and young, and now I am experiencing the pain of losing my husband......

Setting the Sang woman as a model can indeed promote women's benevolence and righteousness and strengthen women's education. However, there are some things that too many people know, and more people talk about them. The Sang girl finally got out of her grief, why bother pushing her into the whirlpool of public opinion?

Again, when mentioning the Sang daughter and Sang Fuyue, it is inevitable to talk about General Chang Lao.

General Chang's "dereliction of duty" and "negligence" really cannot withstand the investigation of people with intentions. So, even if it is so calm now, why bother to bring General Chang in?

It is precisely because of the persuasion of the queen that this matter of commending the Sang daughter will be over.

However, the Sang girl was still in Emperor Longqing, leaving a good impression of a good character and stoic temperament.

Therefore, now that the woman is pregnant, it can only be forced by Ziyuan...... In the final analysis, before she found Sang Fuyue, the Sang girl was just a lonely and weak woman who struggled to make a living with her younger brother. Ziyuan took advantage of the danger of others, coerced and enticed, and the girl of the Sang clan would not give in.

Come on, the truth is here, in this matter, his henchman is really not innocent! It can even be called a sinister sentence!

But man, who hasn't had any fancy things.

Besides, Ziyuan has been known for more than ten years, and since he left Changrong He, he has lived like a monk in the temple. This tastes like a woman...... It's understandable that I can't stop it.

Emperor Longqing was really very tolerant of his beloved courtiers, and therefore, after knowing that Sang Xuanyue was pregnant, he didn't criticize Shen Tingjun too much.

However, knowing that Shen Tingjun intended to marry her after the woman gave birth to a child, Emperor Longqing was a little embarrassed, and said softly, "Sang girl...... Is the status a little low? ”

In fact, what Emperor Longqing really wanted to say was not that the status of the Sang woman was low. After all, Sang Fuyue is also a positive third grade, she is Sang Fuyue's sister-in-law, and she can be regarded as the family member of a positive third grade official, this status cannot be regarded as low.

He actually wanted to say that the daughter of the Nasang clan had been married before, and she was widowed......

You must know that many girls from wealthy families in the capital want to marry Ziyuan. Those girls who are not from a background say that they themselves are well-educated, knowledgeable, or beautiful and good-looking. The most important thing is that they are all still yellow flower girls...... Compared with them, the Sang girl is a few points worse...... Emperor Longqing was uneasy for his henchmen!

Emperor Longqing's face was a little tangled, but Shen Tingjun didn't seem to hear the meaning of his words, and he said directly: "Her identity is not low. ”

Long before leaving Beijing and going south, he had the heart to marry her. At that time, he didn't know that her brother was a third-grade official. Even if she was just an ordinary woman, he was ready to marry her. And now with the blessing of identity, the two of them are more compatible in the eyes of outsiders.

Since Shen Tingjun likes this family business, Emperor Longqing can't say anything. Although he still felt that Ziyuan deserved a better woman. But no matter what it is, there is a fate.

Ziyuan has been empty for ten years, and the ladies in the capital have changed one after another, and he has never liked it, let alone the intention of getting married. Now that he is bent on marrying Sang, it is impossible to say that the fate of the two has arrived.

Again, what if he is not allowed to marry the Sang girl? Both of them have children who are five or six months old.

If Ziyuan doesn't admit it, then Sang Fuyue doesn't know if he will come to the capital. If Ziyuan wants to go to his mother and keep his son, if he gets it, it will be an incalculable and confused account, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble at that time. Maybe the matter will have to go to the front of the emperor, let him judge this reason and judge this lawsuit.

As long as Emperor Longqing thought of that scene, he was one head and two big. So they got married directly, and he, the emperor, turned out to be the profiteer?

Emperor Longqing glanced at his henchmen and courtiers again, and thought in his heart, let you force others, now that it has reached this point, you can't end it if you don't get married.

Emperor Longqing sighed in his heart, but Shen Tingjun suddenly spoke at this time, "The minister has a reluctant request." ”

"Tell me about it."

Shen Tingjun made a big salute and said, "The minister wants to ask His Majesty to give a marriage decree at that time." ”

Emperor Longqing understood the meaning as soon as he heard this.

Ziyuan is afraid that someone will mutter about the Sang girl behind her back, so she is here to invite Shang Fang's sword.

However, getting pregnant before marriage does hinder your reputation.

When he came to marry his son again, it was even more like forcing the palace.

He is a big man, if he sees the Sang girl marrying into the Hou Mansion like this without knowing it, he has to suspect that this woman is scheming and has a great plan. It is even more self-evident what some outsiders will think after reading it.

Thinking that this was the first time Ziyuan opened his mouth to beg him, and the Sang woman was really of good character, and she was really wronged in this matter, Emperor Longqing agreed after thinking about it.

Shen Tingjun's wish came true, and he retreated satisfied.

When he left Yanqing Palace, Emperor Longqing beckoned the prince to get closer.

The prince listened to the gossip in his head, and now he is still sighing: He Shen Tingjun still knows how to play.

Now looking at his father's gesture, the crown prince Qin Sheng stepped forward with a smile, "What do you want to inquire about?" ”

Emperor Longqing glared at his son, "I'm serious with you, don't give me a hippie smile." ”

Qin Sheng was aggrieved, "My son has a tense face, you said that your son looks depressed, and he looks ruthless." Your son smiled at you, and you said that your son was smiling ......"

Emperor Longqing didn't fight with his son, but only told him, "You go back and send someone to check the banquet in the Hou Mansion." ”

Shen Tingjun did not mention the rest of the people involved in that dispute, which really aroused the interest of Emperor Longqing.

And Emperor Longqing touched the court nobles who had an accident after the banquet in the Hou Mansion, in fact, he had some numbers in his heart.

However, he still didn't believe that there were such bastards among his royal relatives, so he asked Qin Sheng to find out.

Qin Sheng obviously guessed Emperor Longqing's thoughts, and then thinking about his unconscious imperial uncle, he suddenly had a headache.

He immediately said, "Then you wait, my son will send someone to investigate." ”

"Quietly, don't alarm Ziyuan. What the hell is this family ugly, forget it, don't talk about it. ”

The crown prince was also busy, and Emperor Longqing was the only one left in the Yanqing Palace.

Sitting on this high throne, holding the power of life and death in the world, sometimes you should be confused, otherwise you won't be able to live a day. But being confused does not mean being deceived, there are some things that he should know, and he still has to know them.

Emperor Longqing dealt with the excerpt for another hour, and it was time for lunch.

He had something on his mind, so he proposed to go to the Queen's Palace for dinner today.

The queen's meals were all on the table, and a series of palace people came in with gorgeous meal boxes.

The scene was so familiar that the queen knew what was going on just by looking at it.

She didn't pay attention to these palace people who set up the meal, and only looked at Emperor Longqing, who slowly got off the dragon chariot and strode towards the Fengzao Palace.

When he arrived, he was held up by Emperor Longqing before he could salute. The queen stood up straight and asked, "What's the matter today?" How did Your Majesty remember that Fengzao Palace had a meal? What is on your Majesty's mind? ”

"I don't have anything on my mind, but there is a gossip to talk about with the queen."

Emperor Longqing waved away the servants who were waiting, and then sat down with the empress, and then said what Shen Tingjun mentioned this morning.

To be honest, before this, the queen was also curious about who the woman who could set Shen Hou's old house on fire.

She also secretly mentioned a few candidates to Mama, but in the end she was vetoed by herself.

But who would have thought that the person Shen Tingjun really wanted to marry would be so unexpected.

Now I am afraid that the people in the capital will be dumbfounded after knowing the real situation.

The queen couldn't help but sigh lowly, "I didn't expect it to be this girl." ”

Emperor Longqing said, "No, they are quite fateful." The girl is now five or six months pregnant. ”

Five or six months, that is counting the time of fetus, but it is not exactly when Shen Hou went south to Minzhou on an errand.

So, that time Shen Hou went south, he actually took this girl with him?

What the queen thought of, Emperor Longqing also came back to his senses. Immediately, he couldn't help but sigh twice, "This Ziyuan." "Strange Dao investigated the salt tax case before, and he didn't say anything in the court at all. As a result, just when the candidate was about to be decided, he came over and took the initiative to ask for his life.

At that time, he only thought that this courtier wanted to share his worries, but now that he thinks about it, at that time, the daughter of the Sang family got the letter and wanted to go to Minzhou to find her brother, and Ziyuan was afraid that she would think about it, so she followed south together.

Emperor Longqing figured this out, and for a while he was really angry, nor was he angry.

If Ziyuan smashed Minzhou's errand, he would have to be angry. But in fact, Ziyuan not only handled the errand smoothly, but also found out the treason case additionally.

It's true, even Emperor Longqing can't bear to criticize himself as a capable courtier. I can only whisper to the queen: Lian Ziyuan has his own careful thoughts!

But he didn't feel annoyed, he just felt that he was pestering other girls with all his heart, and his behavior was really ridiculous.
