I played as an assistant in ancient times

Not long after, Shen Xiaoye received a letter from him praising Lin Erniu, and his words revealed full of regret that it was too late to act.

In the following time, Erniu was seconded to the Shen family for a year. After Shen Changshou was mainly responsible for traveling to Guanzhong and Ganlong, he gradually took on the responsibility of transporting Xuanda's goods for the Shen family every year. Whenever Wu Qiye saw Shen Xiaoye, he would complain a few words.

Look, this year is the thirteenth year of Yuande, and he brought up the matter again after the Kanghe auction just ended, "Look at you, we have such a strong relationship, but before Lin Shen proposed marriage, you didn't even send a letter."

"Master Wu Qi, be careful with your words, Cousin Lin is going to be a father soon, and you still can't forget him!

By the way, why didn't you consider my cousin Geng at the beginning? "Shen Xiaoye successfully obtained the trade agreement with Dada this year. He was in a good mood and was willing to chat with Wu Qiye for a while.

So the two of them walked out of Huitong Hall and strolled along the streets of the capital.

"Shen Cungeng, he is ambitious and will not marry a merchant girl.

You tell me, is it or not?" Master Wu Qi believed that he had a good eye for people. After Shen Cungeng passed the imperial examination, he said frankly that he would not propose marriage unless he passed the imperial examination.

Shen Xiaoye just smiled and said nothing. She just walked slowly with the elderly Master Wu Qi and listened to his chatter.

After a while, when they passed by a teahouse, the two of them deliberately went in to warm up. It was still chilly in spring and the streets were very cold.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the room, I saw a group of candidates debating scriptures upstairs and downstairs.

The shopkeeper apologized and said that the place was reserved today and asked you to find another one.

Master Wu Qi glanced at the high-spirited candidate, and left quickly with Shen Xiaoye. He asked hesitantly, "Your fourth uncle, are you really not going to take part in the spring exam this year?"

"No, he won't participate. Last year, he went to the north with me to conquer Waqi. The freezing rain on the way back injured his lung meridian. This spring is particularly cold. Neither the doctors nor Mr. Pan recommends that he take the exam." The real reason was that after my uncle passed the imperial examination, he had just made some progress in systematically studying the Four Books and Five Classics, but then he followed the emperor on a second expedition, thus interrupting his studies. After he came back, Mr. Pan took a look at his situation and decisively gave up this spring's imperial examination.

Of course, the injuries are real, but they are not that serious.

But a few years ago, when my fourth uncle was on his way home from the Imperial College, the wheel of his carriage suddenly broke on the snow. Although he was fine, my fourth aunt, who had just married in the previous year, was too worried about him and generally did not let my fourth uncle go out when the weather was bad.

Shen Xiaoye said: "It's okay to wait a few years, he's still young anyway."

"That's true. Staying in a small and cold examination room for several days in the Spring Examination might make people with a weak body..." Before he could finish a few words, a team of fast horses galloped past the two of them. If Shen Xiaoye hadn't acted quickly, Master Wu Qi would have been knocked down.

Many pedestrians ahead were disturbed and some were knocked down, while those on horseback were still cursing at others for blocking the road.

He even beat the injured pedestrian directly, and the patrolmen from the Bingmasi seemed to be blind and did not see anything.

Shen Xiaoye wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Master Wu Qi in time: "No."

Master Wu Qi stood firm and frowned: "They are becoming more and more arrogant now."

"Well, Master Qi, why don't we talk about it next time when we have time." Some things are not suitable to be said on the street. Shen Xiaoye could only remind him tactfully and quickly find the censor who often stayed nearby to stop the people from the Guard Bureau from continuing to commit crimes.

After hurriedly bidding farewell to Master Wu Qi, Shen Xiaoye did not return to Juxianfang, but went to the Imperial College to find Lu Guan.

This guy worked really hard and passed the county examination in February last year. However, when the emperor went to war in March, he was transferred to the army and did not take the provincial examination.

Perhaps out of compensatory psychology, the emperor specially ordered two doctors to teach Lu Guan, hoping that he would pass the two examinations of the county government this year.

Lu Guan has been entangled in various articles recently. When he heard that someone was looking for him, he wanted to put down his books and run out for some fresh air.

When he saw that it was Shen Xiaoye who came to see him, he immediately asked what had happened.

"How is your search going?" She pointed in the direction of the imperial palace. Shen Xiaoye seriously suspected that the commander of the Imperial Guard had messed up her fourth uncle's car.

Lu Guan looked around and saw that there were not many people outside the gate of the Imperial College at the moment, so he whispered, "We have made contact, but we need to find a good time."

"Money is not a problem, just do it as soon as possible." Shen Xiaoye said a few simple words and told him that he had obtained the permit before leaving.

She has never been idle, asking Little Black Cat to keep an eye on that man at all times. Later, she discovered that he was privately making a large number of weapons, which was very serious.

But tell the emperor that he must pay attention to timing and strategy, and not necessarily hit the target with one strike.

But they had to wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival of the next year. The commander became so arrogant that he deliberately missed the target during a archery competition hosted by the emperor, but let all his men say that they had hit the target.

This matter was reported to the emperor by the eunuchs who were friends with Lu Guan. When the emperor was furious, the eunuchs also reported to the emperor that the commander of the Guard Bureau had privately manufactured tens of thousands of weapons and intercepted the supply of dragon robes and concubines.

All the locations and numbers were reported to Shen Xiaoye by Little Black Cat.

Naturally, this father-in-law also had his own secret informants, and he could just verify them one by one using her information.

Within three days, the once powerful commander of the Guard Division was arrested and questioned. After the facts were verified, he was sentenced to death by slicing.

Apart from the eunuch who volunteered to guard the tomb of the late queen after the incident, only Shen Changsui knew that Xiao Ye was also involved.

He couldn't help but feel a headache, but he couldn't bear to scold her, "In the future, don't get involved in such events."

"As long as it doesn't threaten my uncle, I won't even look at it twice." Shen Xiaoye thought to himself, without that damn Grand Commander making trouble from time to time, Fourth Uncle could also concentrate on taking the exam.

Shen Changsui didn't quite believe her words, "You're getting married this year. If you don't like what Zhang said, go find Lu Guan to help you."

"No need. Lu Guan has already written to General Lu, saying that he has passed the examination and has established a career. After we get married, he hopes to officially move into the Lu residence with me.

General Lu replied and agreed." Shen Xiaoye said with some pride.

"I really agreed." Before Shen Changsui could say anything, his uncle Shen Changshou, who came to see his younger brother, heard it.

Seeing his niece nod affirmatively, he stopped discussing writing the invitations with his brother and immediately ran to the main room to tell his parents the good news.

Soon, the whole Shen family knew about it, and Fu Ge'er was extremely happy. From now on, he could play with his sister and brother-in-law as he did before, and he no longer had to see that woman who liked to secretly glance at him like the one in Uncle Wang's family.

Need more food!

On the day of Shen Xiaoye's wedding, the wedding banquet was held in the capital and many people were invited to attend.

Among them, Lieutenant General Wang, who came to the capital to report on his work, happened to arrive in time. He gave a pony to each of his nephews and nieces.

The Shen family's business has been getting better and better in recent years, and they are among the top in the weaving and dyeing industry in the entire Shuntian Prefecture. With the addition of Shen Changsui and Lu Guan's classmates, they suddenly filled up the rather large house in Juxianfang.

No matter how reluctant her grandparents were, they had to let the child go out. After Shen Xiaoye said goodbye to the two elders with a big bow, she kowtowed to her uncle and aunt before being carried into the sedan chair by her fourth uncle.

When Lu Guan was welcoming his bride, he was in a very difficult situation. After she was finally married and had the wedding ceremony, he still had to go to the front to toast. In the end, he was carried into the bridal chamber by others.

But Shen Xiaoye knew him, so she pinched his nose and said, "You're still drunk after taking the hangover pill made by Taoist Hengxi?"

"Hehe, did you find out?" Lu Guanyi sat up with a grunt. Instantly, there was a burst of booing from outside the window. Everyone was very angry at him for cheating.

But within a moment, they were all kicked away by Lu Guan's second cousin.

The two couldn't help but smile at each other, but this caused the little black cat at the end of the bed to complain: "You two don't have the reserve of the ancients."

"We are newcomers, okay?" Shen Xiaoye and Lu Guan retorted in unison, and then burst into laughter again.
