Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

"Character is the most difficult thing to discern. You need to know the face of a person but not his heart."

Shen Yao placed the round fan to her lips and held it upright to cover half of her face.

A pair of beautiful eyes were slightly raised, which made Shen Ying's heart beat wildly.

"mother"

Shen Ying rarely showed a hint of girlish shyness and rubbed her wrist awkwardly.

"Why are you panicking? Mother is reminding you, silly girl, not to be deceived by the world.

When it comes to a person's character, you are not the person himself, so how can you understand it clearly?

Some hypocrites who are good at pretending to be good can be hard to guard against when they get ruthless. "

Shen Yao felt that what her daughter said was good, but it was too idealistic.

This kind of thinking is unacceptable in this era and needs to be gradually changed.

Shen Ying calmed herself down and asked how to tell the difference.

Shen Yao didn't keep the secret and just said that it depends on the other party's sunk costs.

In short, it means how high the price the other party will have to pay if they betray you.

"If it's not big, it means he can betray at any time," just like Wei Fan.

"If he is big, he will endure it until he feels that he can try it, or until he endures it for the rest of his life and nothing will happen."

Just like some people nowadays, they are not looking for true feelings, but they can pretend to be sincere and let people down.

"Don't ask about the intention, just look at the intention." No matter how beautiful the words are, they are useless without action; some people don't say a word, but do things beautifully, that is a good person.

"Ying'er, when you choose a husband, you should consider what kind of life you want. Different people have different priorities. You must not be blinded by external things. Being overly obsessed with one aspect will only expose your flaws."

Because there really are people who would take the opportunity to deliberately approach Shen Ying in order to achieve their own goals.

During the days that Shen Ying accompanied Shen Yao on the car ride, she listened to her mother's teachings every day.

There was no disagreement between mother and daughter. They basically discussed with each other. After all, the main purpose was to make Shen Ying's life better.

"Princess, we have arrived at Dongchang Prefecture."

There was a report from outside the carriage. Shen Yao, who was sitting in the inner room, hummed, turned around and got off the car with Shen Ying.

Next to it is the royal palace that had been vacated and prepared long ago, and it was also where they would stay on this trip.

Qi Chen was dealing with officials from Dongchang Prefecture. Qi Haochen stood beside Qi Chen with a stern face, looking around from time to time.

"Okay, you guys go back. If there's anything, I'll send someone to make the arrangements."

Qi Chen waved his hand and frowned, asking the group of troublesome people in front of him to leave quickly.

Qi Haochen pulled Qi Chen's sleeve and said, "Father, what are they doing here?"

Instead of greeting him at the city gate, he ran to the palace gate and put on an act.

Qi Chen sneered, "They want to test my bottom line. It seems that the officials of Dongchang Prefecture have some ideas."

Dongchang Prefecture was the fief of Prince Jin, but Prince Jin was unlucky. When Qi Chen was still in Luozhou Prefecture, he died because he had too much fun.

As for Prince Si of Jin, he was even more miserable than Qi Chen. Princess Princess of Jin returned to the capital with all the family belongings to live a peaceful life. Dongchang Prefecture was returned to the emperor's management until it was recently assigned to Qi Chen again.

Qi Haochen rubbed his eyes and said, "Father, can't we replace them all?"

You are so brave to disrespect the father and son. Get rid of them all.

Qi Chen reached out and touched Haoda'er's little head, "No hurry, let's see what they want to do first?

The emperor has not cared about Dongchang Prefecture for some years. The officials here say they are working for the emperor, but they are just trying to gain benefits for their own families. "

How could that be possible? Dongchang Prefecture is now the territory of his, King Luo Qi Chen. If he eats anything, he will have to spit it out.

The father and son were thinking fiercely about how to find out the termites in Dongchang Prefecture to establish their authority. At the same time, they thought that Guangping Prefecture would have to go through the same process. Guangping Prefecture had never been anyone's fiefdom, and the termites inside might be even fatter and more numerous.

Shen Yao took Shen Ying into the backyard of the mansion. The mother and daughter lived next to each other, so they could just go out and move around.

"Go back and rest first. Wait for the prince to send the list, and then you can observe it carefully."

Shen Yao's residence has always been nice, even if it is a temporary place, it is always decorated neatly and beautifully.

Looking at such a comfortable environment, who would have thought that the entire State of Qi had been visited by those natural disasters.

Only ordinary people are living in dire straits, while the powerful and wealthy in the upper class continue to revel every night.

Evening

Qi Chen came back, held Shen Yao's hand and lamented that Dongchang Prefecture was far inferior to Changzhou Prefecture.

Shen Yao listened quietly and occasionally answered a few words, mainly to remind Qi Chen not to forget their serious business.

How can Dongchang Prefecture be let go for now, but the power of Dongchang Prefecture must be in his own hands.

The simplest one is the soldiers in Dongchang Prefecture. They take Qi Chen's money and have to do things for Qi Chen.

Isn't the purpose of a fiefdom to be self-sufficient? Qi Chen gave the emperor such a huge gift, so it is only right that he should enjoy more benefits.

"Don't worry, Yao'er, I have already asked someone to do it. You and Ying'er can go out for a walk when you are free.

Although Dongchang Prefecture is not as prosperous as Changzhou Prefecture, it also has some special features. "

Including the buildings outside, the scenery is not all the same.

Shen Yao nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand."

An invitation appeared in front of Shen Yao, which was specially brought back by Qi Chen.

The host of the banquet was the wife of the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture, and the venue was naturally her home.

Shen Yao casually handed the invitation with exquisite patterns to the maid who kept it properly. She lay on Qi Chen's chest, playing with her hanging bun while talking about some ordinary things that had just happened.

The two people leaned against each other quietly, the light and shadow hesitated, and the atmosphere was excellent.

……

After resting in the palace for two days, Shen Yao took Shen Ying to the address on the invitation.

"Princess Luo, Miss Shen"

Shen Yao is the princess of Qi Chen, but Shen Ying is not Qi Chen's daughter.

Miss Shen, neither wrong nor outstanding, is the default name used by everyone.

Shen Yao greeted the leading ladies with a smile, and introduced Shen Ying's situation to everyone.

They are all smart people. Even if Shen Yao didn't say anything, they would have a clear idea of ​​Shen Ying's situation just by taking a few glances at her.

Shen Ying had been reminded by Shen Yao a long time ago, so she was very calm in the face of the situation, and greeted everyone with a smile no matter who came over.

"Let the young people play, let's go sit down and take a rest."

"Princess Luo is right. We will have no choice but to bother you first."

"..."

The well-decorated living room was filled with noble ladies, all of whom were the powerful class in Dongchang Prefecture. They might be divided into different classes according to their status, but if they were outside, they would be out of reach for ordinary people.

Shen Yao is the princess. Even if these people do not agree with her background in their hearts, they still have to give her due face, and the words they say are more pleasant than the last.

Who says that ladies are reserved? As long as enough benefits are distributed, they are just ordinary people with something to ask for.

Shen Yao was having a great time chatting here because everyone was praising her.

But in contrast, the atmosphere on Shen Ying's side was not very harmonious.

Little girls, as for them, haven't grown up to the point where they can tell lies with their eyes open, especially since the girls who can appear here all come from good family backgrounds.

Compared to someone like Shen Ying who relied on her mother to get to the top, she felt genuine disdain for her.

If Shen Ying was angry about this, it was not the case. In the palace, there were servants like this who looked down on others.

But the final result was that he was transferred far away by the housekeeper and no longer an eyesore to Shen Ying.

Shen Ying blinked at the person in front of her, smiling and pretending she knew nothing.

Don't know? "Don't you feel resentful? No matter what, they can't compare to you."

Qi Chen is not Shen Ying's backer, Qi Haochen is. The blood relationship of being brothers from the same mother is much stronger than the origins that these people think they have.

"Mom, I just find it a little novel," they don't live in Dongchang Prefecture permanently.

"I wonder how many more similar banquets there will be later. Do you want to go?"

Whether Shen Yao attends or not is not the point. The point is Shen Ying's wedding arrangements. All men and women of marriageable age who appear at the banquet can be considered.

"Go, Mom, I think we can have more contact with them.

Like you said, only actions matter, not intentions." She also wanted to test her own abilities. She had learned so much from her mother, so she should show off her skills.

As for those who look down on you, so what? You don't have to take them to heart since you don't have a close relationship with them.

In the following days, Shen Yao took Shen Ying to attend various banquets.

Flower-viewing banquet, scenery-viewing banquet...all kinds of names can be used.

Shen Yao was like a spectator who came to join in the fun, cooperating with everything here, but she was clearly aware that she was not getting involved.

By then, Shen Ying, after going back and forth, finally realized that she was being targeted.

He is the second son of the prefect and the second in command of Dongchang Prefecture (only below Qi Chen).

"Miss Shen"

"Master Sun"

Shen Ying looked at the other person's pretentious appearance, as well as the girl not far away who was staring at her fiercely, and felt deeply that she would not choose such a person.

That’s not all, he can’t even deal with the troubles behind him.

"After all, he is the second son, and the eldest son is already married. The governor of Dongchang Prefecture is indeed very thoughtful."

Because the candidate for the eldest son's wife was the daughter of the general stationed in Dongchang Prefecture.

It was a genuine collusion between the government and the army. No wonder they dared to test Qi Chen on the first day.

Tut tut

"Mother, I don't like this young master grandson." This person had a very good self-image, as if she, Shen Ying, should accept it happily.

"Well, if you don't like it, don't bother. The prince is looking for faults in the governor of Dongchang, and I'm afraid his position is in jeopardy."

The prefect of Dongchang is too self-righteous, and he speaks and acts with an attitude of "what can you do to me?"

Qi Chen has privately revealed this to Shen Yao many times, including some other more stubborn people, all of whom are the targets that Qi Chen wants to deal with this time.

After telling Shen Ying the names of these people, Shen Yao reminded her daughter to keep a distance from them.

Shen Ying: …

"Mom, my daughter is not stupid."

Even if she was crazy, she couldn't challenge such a difficult task. Was she acting out a play? Adults' interests came first.
