[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Hearing today that he was asked to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Prince Zhongshun was about to decline, but he remembered what the Ninth Prince said to him, it's not that he doesn't want to care about brotherhood, so he put on a carefree face: "Brother Huang really trusts me, I'm going to show Brother Huang to take a look at it. But there is one case, if you don't see it well, Brother Huang will take care of it."

Hearing this, he laughed and said, "You are so clever, and the affairs of the Ministry of Criminal Justice can't help you." The two brothers looked at each other and smiled again, as if the past had disappeared, and a new chapter was slowly opening.

After sending off the old prince and Zhongshun, he called some of his sons to praise him and rewarded him with gifts. Only now did he ask them how they felt.The Ninth Prince dared to say: "It's so satisfying to see those guys have nothing to say. Next time there is such an opportunity, the brothers will go up together."

The eldest prince was much more concise: "Only when brothers are united, outsiders dare not underestimate them."

Now I am satisfied, and after a few words of encouragement, I let him go back, but I went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and told the Queen Mother what happened today, and then asked: "Shen Yue is more wise, I am afraid that a queen's righteous daughter can't be tied down. he."

The Queen Mother fixedly looked at her adopted son who had been raised since childhood. No one knew better than the Queen Mother what his temperament was.It is already his limit to be able to come and inform himself today: "What does the emperor want to do?"

Now he is also very hesitant: "Shen Yue's talent can be of great use in the country. Now it seems that everything he does is not for self-interest, but I am afraid that if he thinks of self-interest one day, the boss will not be able to restrain him."

"Although Shen Yue is very wise, he is more affectionate." The queen mother pointed out this point to the present: "Whether it is Yuan'er who is a teacher, or Yu'er who treats the queen like a biological mother, they all have the merits of Shen Yue." And our mother Don't forget how you came to the position.

The queen mother didn't say the last sentence, but now she understands it.He nodded silently: "I was thinking about whether to give Yu'er a title. Otherwise, if the old prince's granddaughter enters the Shen family, it will be difficult for Yu'er."

The queen mother disagreed: "Yu'er is the elder sister-in-law. The grandson of the old prince is only the second son and daughter of the patriarch. If he is sensible, he will not fight with his sister-in-law. The sage thinks that Shen Yue is more wise, He should be used by the country, he is young, and he can be reserved for Jin'er in the future. Even Yuan'er can benefit."

Today nodded lightly, then shook his head again: "That's what I'm afraid of. Boss and the others met Shen Yue privately at this time, and they all called him Mr. When it was Yuan'er, Shen Yue's prestige..."

The Queen Mother chuckled: "Shen Yue was willing to hand over the three things that are vital to the people to the royal family for promotion, and he did not hesitate to hand over the printing house to the imperial court. I don't think he is the person with the name of the picture." After finishing speaking, I didn't know what to think of What, he chuckled.

Seeing today's puzzled look at herself, the queen mother said to him with a smile: "Actually, I have always had a guess, but I thought it was too sensational, so I didn't tell you. Think about it, since you made that spring and rubber wheel, Does Shen Yue stop working with the Ministry of Science and Technology? Waiting for Mr. Jinghua's poetry anthology to be printed, does he seldom care about the printing house?"

After being reminded by the Queen Mother, today I also feel that there is a great connection, so I asked the Queen Mother for advice: "The Queen Mother said that these two things are related?"

The queen mother was still laughing: "The Ministry of Industry's idea has no real evidence, but I can roughly guess who this Mr. Jinghua is." Then I thought that Mr. Jinghua was Daiyu's guess, and said it with today's audience. .

Today, I suddenly realized: "Even if the queen mother said so, I can't be wrong. This kid, he only does things because he wants to please his daughter-in-law?!" Now I can't help but think of the three high-yielding crops, and Shen Yue did it for him. I found fresh flower seeds for Daiyu's greenhouse, and found them by the way.

What about benefiting the country and the people?If Shen Yue was here, I would like to ask now, how could he have the nerve to say those bold words without blushing and heartbeating.

"Even if it is to please his daughter-in-law, what Shen Yue does and what he does are all beneficial to the country, and it can be regarded as the best of both worlds." The Empress Dowager finally put away her smile: "He doesn't use names, but he is also a lover of love." Humans, the sages just use emotion. How to use such a person, the sages should know well.”

Today he nodded heavily: "Thank you for your mother's teaching. In this way, you will follow your mother and not give Yu'er a title, so as not to make it difficult for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other. Just let the queen treat her more kindly." Shen Yue, don't you want to To please your own wife, then work hard for me!

The queen mother was also happy when she heard it: "The queen is probably full of resentment now."

Now he is a little puzzled. In his heart, the queen is very understanding. Even if there is resentment in his heart, he will not show it to the queen mother. Why does the queen mother say this?

The Empress Dowager reassured him: "Do you know that all the female family members of the Shen family went to Yu'er's Zhuangzi, and brought Yu'er's mother with them. The Empress had heard Yu'er talk about the Zhuangzi's hype, but who would have thought that this time they would go to Yu'er's village?" Without her share, I would be full of resentment."

"Nonsense, she is the empress, how can she leave the palace so easily?" Now I don't think this is a big deal, if the empress tells me about it, I will let her dispel her grievances.

The Empress Dowager looked at her son with some pity: "Do you know why the female family members of Shen's mansion suddenly went to live in Zhuangzi regardless of the men at home?"

Now shake your head directly.He has a lot of affairs to deal with every day, so he can't care about the affairs of the courtier's house.The queen mother sighed: "People in the world talk about how honorable and honorable it is for a woman to be a concubine, but those of us who live in it know that sometimes it is not as easy as the mistress of a courtier's family can do as she pleases." When Daiyu bid farewell to the queen, she told today how she found out her mother-in-law's resentment and wanted to spend time with her mother-in-law.

I didn't expect the women of the Shen family to be so bold, isn't it afraid that the husband will think that their women's morals are at a disadvantage?Now he said to the Queen Mother: "Why don't the Queen Mother issue a decree to reprimand them?"

The queen mother couldn't hold back, and gave her son a blank stare: "You can figure it out. If it's not because of my status, I'd like to go to relax. Do you want the queen to reprimand me again? You men , only thinking about the court affairs, never thought about what women want." After finishing speaking, let him deal with his own government affairs without waiting for the present to distinguish.

Now that the Queen Mother was kicked out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning for the first time, it was hard to tell the wives what was wrong with my mother, so I had to go to Kunning Palace to complain to the Queen.I don't want the Queen and the Queen Mother to have the same tone: "Men only think about women's tenderness and care, but they never think about what women want."

Then he asked today: "Does the sage know why all the wives and wives in Beijing want to snatch the son-in-law of the Shen family back home to help their son-in-law?"

Now I feel that I can still answer this point: "It's just that the Shen family is all promising, and the family style is upright. In that mansion, except for the paranoid Shen Xueshi, everyone seems to be easy to get along with. I heard that the female family members of their family They all know how to answer rituals, and three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law want to treat each other like grandparents. But this time, why did they do such an outrageous thing."

The empress also wanted to drive the present away like the empress dowager, but she didn't have the confidence of the empress dowager, so she forced a smile and said: "That's not the case, but the sons of the Shen family of Shen Yue's generation are very considerate."

Everyone in the Shen family now knows: "Shen Yue and Shen Chao are not the only ones who are married, how can you be considerate?"

The queen told him that since Shen Fu got engaged to the little county magistrate, although the two could not meet each other, Shen Fu still had to prepare for the imperial examination, but every ten days he would send flowers of the same type to the small county magistrate as rewards. I gave the little county master some interesting books to relieve his boredom.

Moreover, Shen Fu did not send these things through the hands of servants, but made a special trip to visit the house himself, and then delivered these gifts to the old prince.He just didn't say hand it over to the little county lord, how could the old prince not know what he meant?Naturally, he was more satisfied with this grandson-in-law who cut off the bullshit, and wished that the entire clan would know about it.

Not only did the son of the Shen family who was separated act like this, but I heard that the son of the Shen family, who was famous, also did the same thing after he got married. The wives who came to pay the emperor's favor learned from the queen as a new thing.

All the wives and wives in the capital also found that no matter whether it is Li or Daiyu, the chances of returning to their natal homes are much higher than those of other wives. It spread.

Nowadays, women feel that women are simply unreasonable, and they are bought off with a little favor.This man went out to make great achievements, and then sealed his wife and son, so that women can raise their chins a little bit higher when they go out. This is the real confidence of a woman.Just like that Shen Yue, if he hadn't won his own eyes and let the queen recognize Daiyu as a righteous daughter, no matter how careless Shen Yue was, it would be just the joy of the boudoir.Can Daiyu be envied by everyone when she goes out to socialize?

Seeing his expression, the queen knew that what he said didn't make sense, so she didn't say any more.She felt that it was enough for her to just look at Daiyu's happiness.As for the matter of envy and jealousy, the queen disdains it - if her son does not take that position, there will be changes. Now it seems that Shen Yue has become his son's greatest help.

The dialogue between the emperor and the empress in the palace cannot be heard through the thick palace walls.Shen Yue didn't know that he had once again become someone else's topic, and he devoted himself to assisting the fifth prince in the matter of donating officials for the assessment - he didn't know what the saint thought, he clearly agreed that Shen Yue would help the fifth prince, and suddenly Let Shen Yue and the fifth prince work out the test questions for donated officials.

Not everyone can get this question, nor can it be done anywhere - if you can donate to an official's family, there will always be one or two powerful people in the family. How small are these people's activities?What if Shen Yue put out the exam questions casually, and someone came to bribe Shen Yue to leak the questions?

Even if Shen Yue is not short of money and is not moved by money and power, it is possible to secretly take a look at the people who serve in front of him, or the small officials who do odd jobs by the side, or make a copy.

In order to ensure that Shen Yue and the people around him would not leak their questions, the unscrupulous people locked him and the Fifth Prince directly in a small courtyard next to the upper study room, and no one was allowed to visit or send letters home. , Declaring that this question will not be finished, you two don't need to come out.

Shen Yue is so angry: he didn't expect the sage to come directly to house arrest.You must know that his daughter-in-law, old mother and grandmother are all on Zhuangzi.Shen Yue originally thought that now that the princes are doing their own thing, he can take a fish and go to Zhuangzi to visit.As a result, he couldn't finish the exam questions, and couldn't even get out of the palace gate, and couldn't send out even a few words.

Since Daiyu went to Zhuangzi, Shen Yue and her resumed the habit of writing a letter every day before marriage, and they had their own servants to go back and forth every day.During today's visit to the Yamen, he and the fifth prince were locked in the study room, and he couldn't even say hello to Daiyu.

If Daiyu didn't hear from her one day, she would understand that she was busy with business and didn't have time to write a letter. On the second day, she had to look forward to the letter early, and on the third day, she probably had to pack her things and go back to the city.She is so worried, Fang can definitely see that she can't stay in Zhuangzi, and the old lady will be alarmed.A good trip for a family of female family members to relax, in the end they have to go home crying one by one.

Shen Yue then refused to ask the question, and insisted that the little eunuch who was sent to serve him invite the eldest prince to come.How could the little eunuch dare to invite someone by himself, so he reported it layer by layer, and finally reported to Gao Fu, the chief eunuch in charge of the internal affairs.Gao Fu didn't dare to respond either, taking advantage of the rest, he spoke out Shen Yue's request.

He was talking to the queen now, and couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "This Shen Yue, I'm afraid he wants Jin'er to deliver the letter for him, so that Yu'er doesn't have to worry."

The queen felt that there was nothing wrong with what Shen Yue did, and said: "That's it, just let the two of them meet. Jin'er will not leak the exam questions." Her son is more and more aware of the importance, not to mention the assessment and donation. It is a matter of benefit for generations, which means that he is cleaning up his son's accumulated disadvantages today, so he will not do anything to destroy the Great Wall himself.

Today, I feel that it can't be so cheap. Shen Yue: "He donated crops, springs, rubber, and the printing library back then. I thought it was a public heart, but who knew it was all for Yu'er." What I got was just a piggybacking. Yes, this makes today how happy it is.Fortunately, I still reward him for everything.

At this time, the queen had no choice but to speak well for Shen Yue: "The sage is just a guess, where is the evidence? Even if they all work hard for Yu'er, the one who benefits the most is the sage. I heard that the Guan here is not close to Beirong This confrontation depends entirely on the strength of weapons."

This point is clear now without the queen reminding him, but he just wanted to make things difficult for Shen Yue.So it was still silent.

"Go back to your mother, the princes are here to greet your mother." The little eunuch came in to report at this time, and the queen looked at the present with a smile on her face.That is to say, there are several princes, only one of them is his own, and if he doesn't see him today, he can see him tomorrow, and the saint decides whether he will see or not.

Why did the sons come to pay respects to the queen at this time? Today is also well aware, and said to the little eunuch angrily: "Let them in." smile.

The first prince and his six younger brothers entered in a file. After paying respects to the present and the queen, the present kept silent, but the queen smiled and made people sit down, and ordered tea and snacks: "Today, all your brothers have arrived. Why don't you come?" Didn’t you see the second and fifth child?”

Today, he took a look at the empress before looking at the eldest prince.The eldest prince and the others were used to not looking for the second prince for everything, but now when the queen asked, they realized that they hadn't seen the second prince for a long time.

The eldest prince smiled awkwardly and said: "It's just that we got together after going down to the Yamen. The second younger brother is studying in the study room, and we don't go the same way as us. The fifth son was called away by his father, and the sons didn't meet him either." .” I just don’t know where I was called.

You can do it.Now I think in my heart, you brothers belong to six divisions, how easy is it to be so smooth?But now in Kunning Palace, the empress can ask the second prince magnanimously, which is already her national mother's demeanor. If she pursues his son here, she will embarrass the empress.

The queen heard the probing meaning in her son's words, looked at the present and smiled and said to her son: "The sage himself uses the fifth place, so don't bother him. The second place, even if he is studying, you brothers should spend more time with him." close."

Don't look at one who won't be disturbed and the other who wants to get close, but everyone in the hall can understand that the one who doesn't allow disturbance is not not close, and the one who wants to get close deliberately is really far away.The princes got up together and listened to the queen's orders, and their faces that had been tense since entering the palace loosened a little.

Now I feel a little uncomfortable, the second prince is also his son, but who knows, he is getting farther and farther away from his brothers.Could it be because he has never been influenced by Shen Yue?He had an idea in his mind, the second child has been studying for a long time, so it shouldn't be a problem to follow Shen Yue and the fifth child out of the test questions—it's just a test question for donated officials, even Qiu Wei's level is not good enough. Can't get there.In this way, if he gets along with Shen Yue day and night, he can always learn a thing or two, right?

The few princes who put their minds to rest, didn't know that Shen Yue's inquiring about the news would be a big trouble for Shen Yue, and they took turns expressing their filial piety to the present and the queen.

The queen felt that these princes would be her son's help in the future, and she was happy to be a loving mother. She cared about the marriage between the sixth prince and the seventh prince, and asked the eighth prince and the ninth prince what requirements they had for the future princess. It's fun.

Before nightfall, the second prince moved into the courtyard where Shen Yue and the others were. The little eunuch who sent him smiled and said to Shen Yue: "The sage said that it is really difficult for little Shen Hanlin and the fifth prince to ask so many questions." , let the second prince come to help you." After that, he leaned into Shen Yue's ear: "The eldest prince has sent someone to deliver a letter to my aunt."

Only then did Shen Yue feel relieved, and politely bowed to the second prince: "So much thanks to the second prince's advice." He didn't know why he sent the second prince here today, but the second prince couldn't find fault with this etiquette.

The second prince who felt that he was once again valued by the present, nodded slightly to Shen Yue, because he already felt that he was condescending, but the fifth prince felt angry when he saw it.Fortunately, Shen Yue tugged on his sleeve in time to prevent him from conflicting with the second prince as soon as they met.

"How is the topic going? Let me see if it meets the requirements of my father." The second prince directly put forward his request: he is the prince, Shen Yue has to listen to him, the fifth prince is younger than him, so he still has to listen his.

The fifth prince could only sneer: "It's been more than half a day, and Shen Yue and I have no idea how to come up with the question. Even if the second brother came and said that the father has something to ask, why don't you talk to the brother, the father What is the request, so I can write the questions according to the request, so as not to miss the father's intention."

The second prince said that he wanted to see if the questions the two of them gave were in line with today's requirements, but it was just to make a big banner out of tiger's skin, so that he could see that the test master was famous.I don't want this old fifth to directly ask him what is the current request. This makes people who have only heard the message from the little eunuch but have never seen the present face, where should they start?

Fortunately, he is also a quick-witted person, so he sternly said: "Nonsense, you have been here for such a long time, but you haven't asked a single question. Could it be that you have ignored the emperor's will?"

The fifth prince just curled his lips: "Second brother, don't label me, it's scary. Everyone is doing things for the father, so it's better to work together."

The second prince's face sank, none of his brothers was good.The old seventh was in the Ministry of Industry, and even sent his most capable helper directly to Dali Temple, but the fifth and seventh were very close, and now they dare to contradict him.The second prince's voice was full of anger: "Is this the way you talk to your brother?"

The fifth prince said impatiently: "Second brother just speaks out the regulations, and the brothers will naturally listen."

Seeing that his face was getting results from the fifth prince, the second prince secretly rejoiced, and he was affirmed in what he said: "Since my father wants to donate officials for assessment, there is a meaning of being kind in it. I want to be kind, This exam is just a formality, so it’s better not to make the exam too difficult, but let most people pass it.”

The fifth prince was dumbfounded, who told him that his father wanted to be kind?Before he entered the study room, his father clearly told him that the test questions can not only focus on literary talent, but also ponder over a few more questions, whether it is arithmetic, manufacturing, accounting, literary talent, etc., but it should not be too easy. People make up for their numbers.

Could it be that just half a day later, the emperor's mind changed?Maybe, otherwise, why would my father let the second child come and write questions with me?The fifth prince was not sure, so he looked at Shen Yue as if asking for help.

Shen Yue is also looking at the second prince, he feels that today is not a person who changes from day to day, although the second prince is sure of what he said, but Shen Yue just doesn't believe it!

"Second prince," Shen Yue hasn't sat down since the second prince entered the room - the second prince is different from other princes, he didn't give him a seat, so it's safer to stand by himself: "I don't know if the sage has other instructions besides this order. Nothing else to say."

Even Shen Yue dared to question himself, and the second prince was even more unhappy: "Is this still an excuse from the emperor? Those who donate officials, their ancestors are all people who have contributed to the country. This kind of kindness can still be given by the court. You two just follow what I said, and if there is anything wrong, I will take care of it for you, Father."

I'm afraid you can't bear it.

After the second prince entered the room, Shen Yue put away his smile for the first time, and bowed to the second prince with a serious face, his voice was also extremely cold: "I'm sorry, I can't act according to what the second prince said. If so The second prince feels that the minister has violated his order, and I would like to go to the saint to make a clear distinction with the second prince."
