Then there is no more

There was no way to continue digging into Sun Ming's matter, so everyone had to be more vigilant.

Old Chen lived in Xin Chengbo's mansion for the time being to recuperate from his illness, and Gao Fei paid for his medical treatment.But since Gao Fei didn't have a penny on him, the money was actually on credit from Shen Yi.Old Chen's voice was brutally hoarse. Although he could recover a little after treatment, he could only speak hoarsely, which affected his vegetable business.Moreover, after suffering such an innocent disaster, Old Chen couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Gao Fei asked Old Chen what his plans were in the future. After serious consideration for a few days, Old Chen decided to adopt the stupid big man in the village as his adopted son.

That stupid big man was born in the mother's womb and couldn't come out, so his brain was a little damaged, but he was not stupid, he could dress, eat, and work in the fields, but his reaction was a little slower than normal people.He is a posthumous child, and his mother died of illness last year, and now only a few old relatives can barely take care of him.There are kind-hearted people in the village who hire an idiot to work for their family for a day, and then give him a bite to eat, and he will never starve to death.But there are also those with bad intentions who deliberately treat the stupid big man as a beast and give him all the dirty work, and in the end they only give him a bowl of gruel that can make people look good.

Old Chen hasn't remarried these years, and has always been alone. After adopting the stupid big man, the two can always be companions.

Seeing that Old Chen had plans for the future, Gao Fei felt relieved.

In fact, the two of them didn't have a deep friendship, they just had a sympathetic conversation in the temple back then.Now, Gao Fei is about to get married.Although old Chen Tou has suffered a catastrophe, there will be blessings if he survives the catastrophe, and the lives of both of them will get better and better.

In a blink of an eye, the New Year is over.

As soon as the emperor started writing, he issued three imperial edicts, making great adjustments to the officials in the south of the Yangtze River.Everyone finally knew Emperor Xianwu's determination on tax reform.In order to deter the local tyrants, the emperor even sent an order to the local navy to train their troops in the Neilu River every day.

However, because the tax reform and other matters have been continuously improved in the emperor's mind, Bian Jingyu, an aide who is hidden under the emperor's light, has been idle.When the emperor called him to talk again, sometimes the two played chess, and sometimes the two were really chatting.One time, Bian Jingyu "accidentally" talked about her family's affairs, saying that Shen Yi changed a corner of the garden into a vegetable garden and wanted to plant the land by herself so as to observe and find ways to increase production.Unexpectedly, the emperor would like to listen to it so much, Bian Jingyu knew it in her heart, and later she had the opportunity to talk about how lively Nier was and how cute the younger brother was.

Li Changen, the eunuch next to the emperor, has a different attitude towards Bian Jingyu recently.Didn't Bian Jingyu make the emperor happy every time the emperor was furious because of something in the court?That's the thing!This is the holy family!Li Changen has been serving the emperor for many years, and his ability to read words and demeanor is top-notch, so naturally he would not confront Bian Jingyu, who brewed and delivered the tea Bian Jingyu drank in front of the emperor himself.

Although other people couldn't observe closely like Li Changen, it was well known that the emperor had a bad temper recently, and the princes were reprimanded one after another.Under such circumstances, Bian Jingyu can still persuade the emperor to calm down and have dinner with the emperor, which is not easy.

Bian Jingyu still has that slippery appearance, not easy to offend people, but also very difficult to win over.

Bian Jingyu had a lump in her heart.He often received letters from Nanlan, most of which were written by Bian Jiayu, but occasionally there were a few words from Liu Jiahui in them.Although Liu Jiahui didn't say it clearly, it seemed that what she said meant to make Bian Jingyu be careful of the second prince.Of course, Liu Jiahui definitely wouldn't directly write the emperor, the second prince and others in the letter, but used allusions or various metaphors.

Over the years, Bian Jingyu has gradually realized that Liu Jiahui is a bit strange, as if she has the ability to predict the future.Liu Jiahui reminded him to be careful of the second prince.Can the second prince still succeed?However, because of the Gao Fei case, the second prince is already the weakest among the princes.

Bian Jingyu said to Shen Yi in private: "Wen Ge is still sick...but I suspect that he is not in the capital anymore."

Everyone thought that Wen Ge was old and weak, and Bian Jingyu thought he was sick at first, but because Bian Jingyu often walked in front of the saint, she gradually realized that something was wrong.The emperor probably sent Mr. Wen Ge to Jiangnan.Elder Wen Ge has received a secret decree, so he can do things cheaply there.It can be seen from this that the emperor has great trust in Mr. Wen Ge.This also proved that the emperor never had the intention of abolishing the prince.Otherwise, the emperor should avoid Wen Ge Lao.

After thinking about this point, Bian Jingyu was not moved when she heard how the emperor severely reprimanded the prince.

"The prince's personality is indeed not as tough as the emperor's. But he is a filial person." Bian Jingyu slowly analyzed Shen Yi, and asked Shen Yi to check for him, "The current tax reform and the future The land reform in China cannot be accomplished overnight. It is said that once the emperor has one courtier, the emperor is also afraid that the successor will not be able to perfectly inherit his will. But because the prince is very filial, the emperor's decree will not be overturned in his hands Therefore, the prince's shortcomings have become advantages at this time, and the emperor does not need a successor who is too strong to oppose him."

Shen Yi's understanding of Emperor Xianwu was not as deep as that of Bian Jingyu, but she also agreed with Bian Jingyu's point of view.

If they can think of this, others can naturally think of it.Therefore, those who have lost their interests in the taxation and land reform are definitely unwilling to see the crown prince succeeding to the throne.They will push other princes to the throne.So, who did they choose?The eldest prince?Second prince?Or other princes?

What method are they going to use to pull the prince down?Without a serious crime, it is impossible for Emperor Xianwu to abolish the prince.

Undercurrents are flowing in the court, but life still has to go on.

A few days before Shen Qiaoniang married Gao Fei, Shen Yi solemnly proposed to Shen Qiaoniang her decision to adopt Nier, and asked Shen Qiaoniang and Nier what they meant.Shen Qiaoniang was very moved, but said: "I know how much you care for Nier. But you are still young, and Jingyu and Jingyu are very busy on weekdays, so there is no time to take care of the children. Why don't we all wait for a few years, If you still thought about Ji Nier at that time, then I will accept you."

Shen Yi was a little disappointed, but also respected Shen Qiaoniang's decision.Later, he changed his mind, when Shen Qiaoniang and Gao Fei got married, Gao Fei would go far to the northwest, but Shen Qiaoniang would stay in the capital as a family member.He could ask his elder sister to help them housekeeper again, so the elder sister would still bring Nier to live here.Shen Yi thought unkindly, life seems to be the same as before, it's just that poor Gao Fei has to stay alone in the vacant room.

In early spring, Shen Qiaoniang got married.

After another ten days, Gao Fei had to leave.The newlyweds are naturally reluctant to part with each other, but they have already realized the separation.No matter when and where, it is not easy to be a military wife.Not long after Gao Fei left, Shen Qiaoniang had her period as usual, and she knew that she was not pregnant when she was newly married, and if she wanted to conceive a child again, she would have to wait until Gao Fei returned to Beijing to report on her work next time.Shen Qiaoniang was a little disappointed, but she was also a little fortunate in her disappointment.Fortunately, it was because she was afraid that she would ignore Nier if she was pregnant.After meeting Gao Fei again, she always felt that time passed too fast.She also wants to spend time with her daughter.

The merchant ships of the Lu family have already sailed to sea.Hungry's business has also been done all over the country.Of course, because of the particularity of this business, it’s actually only available in big cities, and it’s rare for people in small towns to go to restaurants to eat, so there’s no need for takeaways to be delivered to your door!

Most of the people who are hungry are ordinary takeaway workers, and they are only responsible for delivering food.If ordinary people are allowed to participate in the collection and transmission of news, it is bound to leak the news.So they can only be ordinary takeaways.If Shen Yi wants to get news about a certain place, he can insert some "people of his own" among the ordinary delivery staff.After all, Jiangnan is not their home field. Shen Yi did not do such a thing in the south. She was afraid that she would accidentally reveal something, and if she didn't get any news, she would be charged with serious crimes.It was enough for him to just stare at the capital.

The second prince watched him, his wife and concubine's natal family watched him, his former loyal disciples watched...but nothing was wrong.

In a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of May.The weather is getting hotter.The clothes Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi wore when they went to bed at night gradually became thinner.It's only human nature for two young men in full swing to lie together, and it's only natural for them to roll around when their guns go off.

One day when Jingyu was taking a bath, old Youtou suddenly brought his son Qiangsheng to the door to say hello.

There is a happy event at the old Youtou's family.Johnson's daughter-in-law had just given birth to a fat and white son.In the words of the midwife, she has worked as a midwife for 20 years, and she has never seen a pregnant woman and child raised so well.This is of course an exaggeration. If the midwife wants to ask for more happy money, she will naturally speak well.However, old Youtou believed it. He felt that his daughter-in-law and grandson were able to grow so well because of the supplements offered by Bian Jingyu.Didn't you hear what Bian Jingyu said, his mother Mrs. Anping Hou ate like this when she was pregnant with the third young master, this is how Mrs. Hou is treated!

So, as soon as he had a grandson, before he had time to go to his in-laws' home to announce the good news, old Youtou brought his son to kowtow to Bian Jingyu.

Bian Jingyu once again felt the sincerity of old Youtou.Knowing that there was a happy event in Lao You's family, he hurriedly asked someone to prepare a congratulatory gift.This gift can't be too heavy, it will make old Youtou afraid to accept it, but it can't be too light, it has to be nice.Seeing a plate of peaches on the table, Bian Jingyu had an idea in her mind, and asked someone to pack up the peaches and gave them all to Old Youtou, saying: "This is from the emperor. The emperor rewarded a basket, and you take it too." A few go."

In fact, it is not yet the season for peaches to mature normally. These peaches are growing early because they grow on the hot spring village.Bian Jingyu doesn't like peaches very much.But the peaches rewarded by the emperor are the grace given by the emperor, and Bian Jingyu got a basket for nothing, which is enough to see the grace.

Old Youtou was so excited that he didn't know what to do.The peaches rewarded by the emperor!

Honest people don't even know how to let go of their hands and feet!

The You family father and son returned home dazed with silly smiles.As soon as he got home, the old Youtou ordered the family to clean up, and he respectfully placed the imperial peach on the altar.The altar table was full, including ancestral tablets, Bodhisattva seats, and longevity cards for Bian Jingyu and Shen Yili.

Old Youtou was so excited that he forgot to say that the peaches were a gift from the emperor. His youngest son muttered, "Father, don't you just have a few peaches? We have a lot of peaches! I'm tired of eating peaches." ...The ancestors are probably tired of eating too. Why don't you offer a chicken!" He was greedy for the chicken.

Recently, the chicken at home has been brought by Johnson's wife first. Others can only smell the chicken but can't eat it.

Old Youtou straightened his face and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Is this an ordinary peach? This is the peach eaten by the emperor!"

"We usually eat peaches from Huangzhuang..." the younger son said unconvinced.The fact that the You family can eat the peaches from Huangzhuang is not because the old You is filling his own pocket, but because the things sent to the emperor are all standard, and the peaches are too small and ugly. .After the ugly peaches were eliminated, they would rot in the ground, and Old Youtou would bring some back for the children to eat.

Old Youtou was playing with Yutao, when he heard what his youngest son said, a strange feeling suddenly flashed in his heart.

"I...how do I feel...something is wrong." Old Youtou murmured.
