A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Shen Zhao never expected that Shen Zhixiu would be so angry because of his visit to Zhan Shifu.

Since he was eight years old, he has not been beaten by any elders in his family. I feel so embarrassed today, I feel very angry. Why is it okay for Third Uncle to be in a high position, but he has to spend time in a place like the Hanlin Academy?

He sat in the study in the outer courtyard with a red and swollen face. If he hadn't taken care of his elders and inferiors, he would have smashed everything in the room.

Chao Yun was right, if he didn't climb up, he would be suppressed by his third uncle for the rest of his life.

The servant served tea and Shen Zhao took a few sips, but he couldn't suppress the depression in his heart.

The young man Yuan Bao suddenly opened the door and came in, "Eldest Master, the Second Young Master is here and wants to see you."

Shen Zhao was stunned, what was Shen Hong doing here? Although they are about the same age, they are cousins ​​who grew up together. But because of their different temperaments, their daily relationship is generally okay.

Shen Hong rarely visits him in private.

"Please come in, Second Young Master."

Could it be that I heard that he went to Zhan Shifu to inquire about the news?

After all, the two took the scientific examination together before, and Shen Hong's ranking was higher. Now that he has come out of the Hanlin Academy, Shen Hong is still depressed in the Hanlin Academy.

As soon as Shen Hong came in, he bowed to Shen Zhao. He was wearing a green bamboo leaf patterned robe and a jade crown to tie his hair. His gestures were standard and serious, revealing the Confucian spirit that is unique to scholars.

"Brother, after much thought, I still think you should stay in the Hanlin Academy."

Shen Hong is well-educated and upright, but he is not very good at dealing with people.

In Shen Zhao's words, people who read too many books will become a little stupid.

Just like this moment, it was clear that Shen Zhao had just been reprimanded by Shen Zhixiu, and the red mark on his face had not yet dissipated when Shen Hong came to preach.

Shen Zhao looked impatient, "What are you talking about, second brother? This is an official document from an official. There is no way we can refuse it."

Shen Hong was scholarly, but not stupid. How could he not see that this was Shen Zhao's excuse.

"Brother, have you ever thought about it? Third uncle is a close minister of the emperor, and third uncle's position is the position of the Shen family."

"The emperor is in his prime, the crown prince is an adult, and the other princes are also developing their own power. Are you going to the Zhanshi Mansion at this time to tell the emperor and the court officials that the Shen family has already chosen a side?"

When talking about the latter part, Shen Hong was a little excited and his voice rose unconsciously.

Even if what Shen Hong said was correct, it was particularly harsh in Shen Zhao's ears. He didn't believe that Shen Hong had no selfish intentions at all. It sounded like he was speaking for the benefit of the Shen family, but not at the expense of ruining his future.

Even though Shen Hong couldn't eat the grapes, he also blocked others from eating them.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Does Third Uncle have such great power that we have to stay in the Imperial Academy forever?"

"I don't believe it. Are you really willing to waste your time in the Hanlin Academy?"

"It's enough to stay in a place like the Hanlin Academy for a year and a half. Do you really plan to stay there for three to five years?"

Shen Hong shook his head and expressed his disapproval. The Hanlin Academy is a noble yamen. It has no real power, but it is not a place where time is wasted.

He stayed in the Hanlin Academy for more than a year, and what he did most was compiling historical records, historical records, and compiling Liucao Zhangzou. These official duties may seem leisurely, but in fact he can learn many strategies for governing the country.

Shen Zhao scorned the Hanlin Academy, but he forgot that not everyone could enter the Hanlin Academy. If the two of them were not heirs of the Shen family, they might have had a lot of trouble getting in.

But obviously even if he said this, Shen Zhao wouldn't listen.

Shen Hong's tone became a little more serious, "If the eldest brother doesn't want to be in the Hanlin Academy, he can ask the third uncle to find a place to live outside. Or he can find a place in Beijing that can train people. Why do you have to go to Zhan Shifu?"

"As soon as you entered Zhan Shifu, Third Uncle was embarrassed in front of the emperor. Don't say it's your personal matter. If your surname wasn't Shen, I wouldn't even bother to tell you."

Shen Hong couldn't figure it out. He could see all the twists and turns, but Shen Zhao couldn't figure it out?

He added, "I think you are selfish and only think about yourself. But you have never thought about why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insists on you going to Zhan Shifu? Isn't there the third uncle's reason in this?"

"Or do you really think that you have great talent and have been chosen by His Highness the Crown Prince? I think you are just being used to check and balance your third uncle."

Shen Zhao felt ashamed and angry for a moment. Why was he so worthless in Shen Hong's eyes?

"What did I do wrong for my own future?"

"If you want to be Third Uncle's dog, I won't stop you. But don't point fingers at me or yell at me."

Shen Zhao snorted again, "Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts, just because the third uncle scolded me, you stepped on it. Do you think that this way, the third uncle will look at you differently?"

"Let me tell you, you are overthinking. Our family does not have a title, and we have to rely on ourselves for our future. When my third uncle has children in the future, he will have to pave the way for his own children. How much benefit can I give you? I advise you to ask for it. Bless you, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself."

When Shen Hong heard this, he looked at him deeply and knew that if he continued to speak, it would hurt his feelings even more.

"Brother, think about it yourself, I'm leaving first."

"Walk slowly without sending."

After Shen Hong left, Shen Zhao angrily swept all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the desk to the ground.

Before he could vent his anger, his father Shen Zhiheng invited him to the study to talk.

As he expected, they also advised him not to go to Zhan Shifu.

Naturally, he didn't dare to treat his father like he did to Shen Hong, but his words were also extremely perfunctory and dissatisfied.

Seeing that he was agitated, Shen Zhiheng knew that he would not be able to explain for a while. Then he asked him to go back and think about it for himself and give him an answer tomorrow morning.

Not long after Shen Zhao left, Xiangdong came to Shen Zhiheng's study with a food box.

"Uncle, this is the chicken soup that I personally watched people cook. Uncle, I have been a little thin these days. Please drink some soup to replenish your body."

Xiangdong has a cold temperament and doesn't smile much on weekdays. Even if she speaks words of concern at this time, she is not as gentle and soft-spoken as others.

But Shen Zhiheng just fell in love with her. The colder her temper was, the more he thought about her.

Shen Zhiheng pulled Xiangdong and asked her to sit on his lap.

Then he opened the lid of the soup cup, stirred it gently, and drank.

"It's delicious. Once you taste this soup, you can tell it's made with care."

"You take a sip too."

As he said that, he brought the spoon to Xiangdong's lips.

Xiangdong frowned slightly, turned his head and said displeasedly: "You know, I don't like soup."

Shen Zhiheng didn't think much about it. Xiangdong often made soup for him these days, and she really didn't like it.

After finishing a bowl of soup, Shen Zhiheng put the bowl aside, grabbed Xiangdong's waist and kissed her.

Shen Zhiheng's study is very large, and there is a small cubicle at the back with a bed and a bathroom.

Xiang Dong lay on the bed with her head tilted back, her clothes already pulled down to her waist. Shen Zhiheng's thin lips wandered around her waist, not noticing the sneer on Xiang Dong's lips.

In order not to affect her brother's future, she made a careful revenge plan. In a year at most, Shen Zhiheng will die like a sudden illness.

With a tearing sound, Xiangdong's skirt was torn. At the same time, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

"Eldest Master, the eldest young master and the princess would like to see you."
