"Master, the guests will be here in a moment."

The 100-day banquet was still held in the East Palace, and the number of people who came this time was twice as large as last time.

Not only did these high-ranking officials and families in the capital receive invitations, but the Sui family and some local dignitaries in Bashu even came from thousands of miles to send congratulatory gifts. The Sui family arrived half a month ago, and now the Sui family's housewife is settling outside with the Sui family. The housewife of the Sui family entered the East Palace early in the morning. Now several sisters-in-law of the Sui family are talking to the Sui family at the Sui family's residence.

Speaking of which, the Sui family was punished by Xiao Yanxing, and it was very quiet for the year since. Even if he lives in the East Palace with Wang Shu, he hardly meets Wang Shu. In addition to the New Year's holidays, Wang Shu needs to ask her for peace, and there is no need to go to the main courtyard to settle the province in the morning and dusk. She doesn't come to find trouble, and Wang Shu doesn't have time to find trouble with her. The two live in their respective courtyards without incident, and they are also very harmonious.

Today is a rare time for her to be happy during the period of silence of the Sui family. I was still doing it late last night.

Wang Shu changed into festive clothes and was sorting out her test materials in the study.

In fact, Wang Shu's plan to move the experimental base to Jiangnan is not verbal. She had already ordered someone to find a good experimental base, buy the land in advance, and prepare to build a farm. Not only that, but the people who were also looking for something in the tenants they were used to in Liangzhou were brought to Jiangnan to continue the experiment. This preparation took more than a year. Now that the preparations are complete, she is waiting for her to take care of the affairs of the main family and move to Jiangnan.

"Okay, I'll come later."

Some of the materials that Wang Shuzheng is sorting out are professional notes that she squeezed out time to write in the capital. The writing is relatively scattered, and I write down what comes to mind. is also to leave the knowledge to future generations, and she writes each knowledge point in detail.

It's just that the depth of the knowledge points is not sorted, and it takes time to sort out.

The Sui family is nominally the child's foreign family, and Sui Nuanzhi is also nominally the child's mother-in-law, so naturally she has to be present. In this 100-day banquet, Sui Nuanzhi, the crown princess of the East Palace, needs to greet guests as the hostess. On the contrary, Wang Shu, who is the side concubine, does not have to see guests.

She went to the living room in the backyard, where the people had finished talking.

Sui Nuanzhi sat on the main seat, listening to the compliments of the people below, and often glanced at the delicate and delicate young woman at the bottom. The young woman came with the elders of the family, and it was very strange to be looked at by Sui Nuanzhi like this. No matter what he said, he smiled shyly. Wang Shu came in at this time, and the room was quiet.

First, because of her identity, she is the biological mother of the Three Emperors' grandsons; The second is because of the amazing beauty, as soon as you enter the door, the whole room will be bright. Three nature is about the legend of her physiognomy that thing. Speaking of which, this matter has long been spread among the female relatives of the upper circles in the capital. Some people still remember Liu, and some people don't remember it for a long time. At this time, looking at this rare beauty, I only sighed in my heart how gorgeous the Liu family was back then.

Sui Nuanzhi saw Wang Shu coming, and his face froze. In an instant, he smiled again and cordially beckoned her to sit down.

The palace maid set up a stool beside her and motioned for Wang Shu to sit down.

Wang Shu glanced at the chair in Sui Nuanzhi's hand. The main seat is actually two chairs side by side, and generally the male and female protagonists sit together. Sui Nuanzhi sat on the right-hand side, and the left side was naturally empty. She then looked at the stool on the side of Sui Nuanzhi's leg again. Without much struggle, he went to sit down on the stool.

Seeing this, the people in the room quickly exchanged glances.

Sui Nuanzhi's tightly held hand on his knee unconsciously relaxed. Wang Shu didn't embarrass her in public, and Sui Nuanzhi was very relieved.

No matter how favored the side concubine is, she can't go beyond the concubine.

Wang Shu didn't come here to compete with Sui Nuanzhi about this, and it didn't make much difference to her where she sits. It's not that Wang Shu doesn't understand the rules of etiquette, but now he deliberately fights for these in front of others, which is too arrogant. Not necessarily.

But she didn't care very much, Xue Lingxing, the last row of the lower right hand, looked at it and his eyes were red.

Xue Lingxing listened to his brother's words and did not come to disturb Wang Shu. did not deliberately get into a relationship with Wang Shu. But for the 100-day banquet of the three emperors and grandsons, the sacrificial wine house received an invitation. She came anyway. prepared a generous gift early and sent it to Wang Shu's courtyard. The people didn't go over, but they also came to the East Palace early in the morning.

When she saw Wang Shu coming in, she was so excited that she stopped suddenly. No wonder others said that Concubine Wang was like her mother, Xue Lingxing saw Wang Shu coldly, and was shocked by her face that was extremely similar to herself.

She was almost instantly sure that this was her own sister, the sister that her mother had given birth to outside.

Xue Lingxing sat quietly in the crowd, his eyes fell on Wang Shu's body, and he felt wronged for her. What the elder brother said was right, the side concubine looked at the scenery, and the grievances inside were invisible to others.

Wang Shu came over, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. After all, this is the main owner of the 100-day feast.

Some talkative ladies were full of witty remarks, which made the room laugh. Although Wang Shu is not good at dealing with them, she is more than enough to deal with them. Listening to them talk for a while, Concubine Zheng also took the opportunity to introduce Wang Shu to the VIP who was doing.

Needless to say, the Sui family has a grudge against Wang Shu, but they can only show affection in public. Others have concubines who introduce themselves at the beginning. One by one, when it was Xue Lingxing's turn. She was rarely a little excited, and looked at Wang Shu for a long time before saying that she was the Guozi Priest Restaurant. Wang Shu looked at her quietly, and slowly showed a smile.

She smiled, and Xue Lingxing's eyes moistened.

When it was the last turn, the petite and delicate young woman was a little nervous, and stumbled to tell which family she belonged to. If ordinary people stumble like this, they will definitely cause jokes. But this little woman was born very lovely and pleasing to the heart, and it made people feel evil in their hearts.

The older women next to her were all laughing, and the little woman blushed with laughter.

Wang Shu didn't pay attention to this little woman, but noticed that Sui Nuanzhi's body beside her stiffened for a moment. Glancing at her in surprise, Sui Nuanzhi realized that he was out of shape and immediately reined in his abnormality.

Wang Shu didn't sit in the living room for long, so she really didn't speculate. She left a moment before she felt unwell.

Walking out of Sui Nuanzhi's courtyard, Wang Shu asked the people around him, who was the little woman sitting at the end. Mama Jiang knew about this, as early as a few days ago, she and Mama Yuan were familiar with the guest list of visitors.

"It's the wife of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple." Mama Jiang actually had some resentment for Sui Nuanzhi for letting Wang Shu sit on the stool, but on that occasion, it was also a little unruly for Wang Shu and Concubine Zheng to sit on an equal footing. can only say that she doesn't sit unruly, sits unruly, and is aggrieved, and her face hasn't looked good for a long time when she leaves the yard. Seeing that the master asked, he poured all the beans and said, "I heard that she only entered Beijing with her husband last year, or a bride, a Bashu person." ”

Wang Shu nodded, and asked again: "Does Concubine Niangniang recognize her?" ”

This Jiang Mama doesn't know.

Seeing this, Wang Shu didn't ask, and a group of people went back to their yard. Wang Shu didn't put this matter at ease, and went to see the little third.

In three months, the third child has withdrawn his red skin and become white and pure. This kid looks more like the Wang family. A pair of narrow phoenix eyes, the outline is relatively deep, and the skeleton is also large.

Wang Shu picked up the little one, and he giggled with a toothless little mouth.

"What are you laughing at~What are you laughing at~" Wang Shu was also amused by him, dragging her throat to coax him, "Do you know who you can giggle~"

The little guy couldn't understand it, and he laughed even more happily when he heard his mother's voice.

Speaking of which, Xiao Junheng and Youyou have already been enlightened. Now he is taken by the husband arranged by Xiao Yanxing, and he has to go to school for half a day every day. I'm not very old, but I've learned a lot. In addition to reading and practicing words every day, you also have to learn music and rhythm, riding and archery. There are also special gentlemen who take them to practice martial arts. This is what Xiao Yanxing requested, his children can't be too weak.

Wang Shu didn't object, as long as the child was willing, she wouldn't stop her.

Wang Xuanzhi is also busy, in order to prepare for the exam, he now spends most of his time studying. Although Mr. said that it was a little too early to end at this time, and he might not be able to get a good ranking. But Wang Xuanzhi was a little anxious, worried that he would grow too slowly and couldn't help Wang Shu. Wang Shu couldn't persuade him, so he let him break in. There are many things that you can only know how to go in the future when you do it yourself.

After teasing the children for a while, the backyard is almost open. Wang Shu didn't have much interest in this kind of banquet, so she stayed in the study.

In the past two years, the Wang family's business has increased several times, and how much Wang Shu spent in the early years, Xiao Yanxing repaid several times as agreed. Not only did the Mongolian trade route now be given to the Wang family, but the Lingnan side also gave convenience to the sea, and even pointed out the port to the Wang family.

When he promised Wang Shu to go south to find sweet potatoes, Xiao Yanxing was not empty words. He really sent someone to find it.

However, the primitiveness of today's shipbuilding technology cannot support too far sailing. However, the Wang family had two large ships that could sail far away. It's just that the farthest place to go is nothing but the Ryukyus.

Wang Shu didn't dare to have too much appetite. What an outlet to the sea to the south means is something that those who have studied the history of later generations will know. Such things cannot and cannot belong to private individuals. A small port, when it is made big, is a window to the outside world. Now Wang Shu is in charge of the family, she is not greedy and has a conscience, this outlet to the sea is given to the Wang family, Wang Shu is too hot.

If the heirs of the Wang family come out with scum who want money and don't want to die in the future, who can guarantee that they will not do the ugly things that will harm the centennial of Daqing?

This kind of resource cannot be in the hands of a few, not even your own.

Wang Shu has actually been thinking about opening up a sea trade road. After all, the Wang Family Dart Bureau has set up a sub-bureau in Lingnan and also owns ships. She wondered if she should write a paper on the importance of maritime trade for Xiao Yanxing. Inform about the importance of territorial rights at sea.

Although Daqing is strong today, due to the fact that the Age of Discovery has not yet come, the incompleteness of the map and the difference in the world view are vastly different. Everyone only knows that there are small countries in the Western Regions, but they don't know that on the other side of the ocean, there are vast lands and foreigners of different colors. I don't know the importance of opening up maritime trade routes. However, today's technology cannot support navigation, but in the future, there may be the arrival of the steam age, and the changes that will inevitably occur after the improvement of navigation technology. This must be realized now.

Writing papers is Wang Shu's specialty, but it must be supported by physical materials. Otherwise, empty words will only lead to big trouble.

Wang Shu pondered the possibility of her going south to Lingnan to personally prepare for going to sea.

After thinking about it, I don't think it's realistic. Not to mention that she is going to Jiangnan, Xiao Yanxing doesn't agree with it, and I'm afraid she won't agree to go to Lingnan. It's not that he won't go if he doesn't agree to Wang Shu, it's just that her major is hybrid rice experiments after all. I don't really know much about mechanical and civil construction. Even if it goes south, it is estimated that it will not play a big role.

But when it comes to this matter, the Lingnan dart bureau is something that Wang Shu has always wanted to inspect. It's too far away, and it's not very convenient to control. When I first did internal audit, there were a lot of cats on the Lingnan side.

Wang Shu was pondering and writing a paper in the study, and Mama Jiang came in with tea.

After a while, she ran to Mama Yuan to inquire. Not to mention, she really inquired a little: "Master, the lady Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple you just asked, the slave maid went to inquire with Mama Yuan." You know what? ”

Wang Shu raised her head: "? ”

"Although this Mrs. Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple is not a capable person, this Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple herself is quite talented." Mama Jiang got very close and said in a particularly low voice, "The most important thing is that this Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple was once the fiancé of the main courtyard. ”

Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Huh? ”

"When Concubine Niangniang was young, she had a childhood sweetheart fiancé who was very affectionate."

"Two years before I got married, I got married." Mama Jiang was terrified when she said this.

At the end of the day, he is still a rule-abiding person in his bones. It's just that his own master is indifferent by nature and doesn't like to fight. The girls below are too wooden. One or two didn't know how to plan for their masters, so Mama Jiang forced herself to watch and listen. She searched around every day with her skin tight, and was vigilant everywhere, for fear that someone would ruin their good life.

"Ah, that's ......"

Wang Shu hadn't paid attention to Sui Nuanzhi's private affairs, but she didn't expect this to happen. No wonder the little woman's face was wrong.

"But no matter how deep the affection of youth is, after all, it can't compete with glory and wealth." Mama Jiang shook her head and sighed, "Concubine Zhengniang is now looking at the little woman's delicate and pleasing appearance, and I heard that her husband is very fond of her." When she heard this, she was a little sad. ”

Wang Shu did not express an opinion on this. Sui Nuanzhi's divorce and marriage to Xiao Yanxing are not necessarily for glory and wealth, but perhaps because they can't help themselves.

The Sui family is not like ordinary rich and noble families, and the Sui family has come to this point, and it can be regarded as the top group of non-royal families. Sui Nuanzhi is a noble girl born with a golden spoon, and she should not be like this for the pursuit of glory and wealth. If the elders in the family decide, she can't refuse. After all, marriage in ancient times paid attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, and it was never the turn of the girl to make her own decisions.

Of course, this is just Wang Shu's speculation. After all, she is not Sui Nuanzhi, nor is she a girl from the Sui family.

Mama Jiang didn't dare to be too broken, and after saying a few words, she said again: "Master, the porter just sent a gift." He said that it was given to his master. The person didn't come, so he sent it and left. The porter got it here, and said that there was a letter with the gift. ”

As she spoke, she took out the letter and handed it to Wang Shu.

Wang Shu saw the signature on the letter at a glance, and frowned. Although the letter is a woman's handletter, it is based on Xue Jiyue, the prince of Zhenguo, saying that she is looking forward to meeting Wang Shu in private.

For his brother Xue Jiyue, who has never met, Wang Shu naturally does not know his temperament. But there are also some things from Wei Qing's information.

Why did Xue Jiyue want to see her? Wang Shu put the letter aside.

In fact, the Zhenguo Mansion is not as active as last time. Although Xue Changfeng, the prince of Zhenguo, was still drinking with the guests in the outer courtyard. On the side of the female dependents, the Duchess of Zhenguo Zhao did not stay for long. only sent a congratulatory gift, met with Concubine Sui Nuanzhi, and returned in advance with the urgency at home. This is also the reason why Wang Shu didn't see the Duchess of Zhenguo when she went to the main courtyard, and she had already left.

Wang Shu wondered why Xue Jiyue wanted to see her, and Xue Changfeng finally knew the reason why Concubine Xue targeted Xue Mansion.

The rumors came and went, and after several changes, they finally reached his ears. Especially when I heard that this side concubine is almost exactly the same as the Liu family who left Beijing at the beginning. Xue Changfeng didn't hold it steady, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then hid this strange atmosphere with a haha.

Xue Changfeng sat in the seat with a blank head, and more than ten years have passed, Liu Ao's voice and smile have stirred his heart again. He was silent for a long time, and then picked up his cup and greeted his colleagues around him. But my mind was in a mess, and I was no longer at ease before.

Waiting for the banquet to end, Xue Changfeng was drunk. was helped home, and when he saw Zhao, he questioned him.

Zhao knew that he would know that she was not the only one who bumped into Concubine Fang that day. Sooner or later, those people would spread the word to Xue Changfeng's ears, and the Zhao family had long been ready for Xue Changfeng to question her. She just didn't expect to really see Xue Changfeng lose his temper so much for a person who left twenty years ago, and the grievances in her heart instantly disrupted the manuscript she had prepared earlier.

The two clashed without saying a few words, and Zhao cried hysterically: "If you really love her so much, why did you agree to marry me in the first place?" Xue Changfeng, don't say it as if it's my fault alone, didn't you be tempted by me first?! ”

"Shut up!" Xue Changfeng was furious, and his handsome face was distorted like a demon, "Tell you to stop!" ”

"I don't! I can't stop talking! ”

Zhao is not a supple character, she was unruly when she was young, and she will not change when she is old, "If you hadn't been tempted by me first, how could you have agreed to scold me for being ignorant and at the same time hooking my hand?" If you weren't tired of the plain Liu first, how would you close your eyes and teach her a lesson for me? I'm mean, I'm vicious, but isn't it all your connivance! ”

"If it weren't for your acquiescence, you repeatedly helped me, how dare I attack your wife! Without your acquiescence, would I dare to make a move on my master? That's ridiculous! It's so funny! ”

Zhao's articulate voice was like a knife, and the words were stabbed with blood, "It's my fault for saying anything, what kind of affection is not long?" It's so funny! It's a ridiculous joke! In the final analysis, it is your own negative heart, and it is you who hate her but don't want to admit it! Now they put all their sins on me! Xue Changfeng, you are really shameless! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xue Changfeng slapped her in the face.

Zhao covered his face, and a lot of tears fell down.

She turned her head and glared at Xue Changfeng fiercely, decades of grievances were held in her heart, she must say it all today: "Xue Changfeng, don't think that I will bear the consequences for you." You are the most vile and vicious person in this matter! ”

After speaking, Zhao pushed open the door and turned to leave.

Chapter 147

Zhenguo Gong and his wife broke up unhappily, Xue Jiyue heard about it, and she didn't feel much relieved.
