The emperor is embarrassed

Lin Yongshang was thinking every day whether his letter had arrived in the imperial capital, and what the emperor would do with it. Unexpectedly, his nephew's letter arrived quickly.

Since Shen Zhuoyan is quite well-known in the imperial capital now, he asked for a post station and sent it to the governor's yamen by official express horse.

Lin Yongshang was still worried that something would happen to his nephew, but when he opened the letter, Lin Yongshang was dumbfounded. Why are they getting married suddenly?Not with anyone else, it was Wu Wan whom Shen Zhuoyan had mentioned to him.

When Lin Yongshang saw Wu Wan's name, two strands of his hair turned gray with worry.

As for Wu Wan, if she was treated as a single woman, Lin Yongshang would have to say something amazing and admire her.It's really not easy for a thin woman to get to this point.

However, let me ask you, no matter how capable Wu Wan is, who would have the guts to marry her?

Now, his silly nephew has given birth to such a leopard guts.

Lin Yongshang could almost foresee how his nephew would live in the hands of such a powerful woman for the rest of his life, so he let out a long sigh.

In fact, Lin Yongshang also knew in his heart that at this moment, Wu Wan could marry Shen Zhuoyan without hesitation, which showed that this woman was also somewhat sincere.Forget it, if he has something wrong, I am afraid that Shen Zhuoyan will be implicated in revenge. Now that he has a powerful wife, Lin Yongshang can rest assured.

At the same time, Xu Yingyu received a letter from Wu Wan.

Before Lin Yongshang finished reading the letter, Xu Yingyu came over and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, Xiaoshen's wedding is a joy."

"Master Xu's news is three points better than mine." Lin Yongshang folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, asking Xu Yingyu to sit down.

Leshan served tea, Xu Yingyu took a sip with a smile, and was very happy for Lin Yongshang, "Master Wu wrote to me, asking me to make some dowry for her and send it back." What a rare opportunity, Wu Wan can say goodbye to Shen Zhuo at this time. Marriage definitely helped Lin Yongshang once.

Although Wu Wan's rank is not high, she is a celebrity in the imperial court.The emperor didn't know how many people suspected that she had a great relationship with the emperor, otherwise, how could the royal family reuse a woman so much.

Of course, it's just jealousy of Wu Wan and some sour words.

This shows the relationship between Wu Wan and the royal family.

Wu Wan's eyes are bright and her hands are quick, marrying Shen Zhuoyan at this time, people can't help but think: If Lin Yongshang is going to fail, how can Wu Wan marry Shen Zhuoyan at this time.Wu Wan's behavior has greatly improved Lin Yongshang's situation, especially for those ministers in the court who are holding a wait-and-see attitude and are about to make trouble. It is definitely a warning that cannot be ignored.

What a transparent person Lin Yongshang is, not to mention that Lin Yongshang has a thick skin all the time, and immediately said, "That's it, I don't bother the two masters, and I only have Zhuoyan as a nephew. Alas, I didn't expect Zhuoyan to grow up so quickly. Marriage, I used to think about waiting for him to be a Jinshi."

Xu Yingyu raised the corners of her lips, and said with a smile, "It's all right for Mrs. Lin to be a bachelor by himself. Don't tell me you're not in a hurry about Xiao Shen Juren's marriage."

Lin Yongshang chuckled, relying on the old to sell the old, "I'm getting older, I still want to stay with me for a few more years."

Xu Yingyu was too lazy to chat with Lin Yongshang, and asked Lin Yongshang, "What is Mrs. Lin planning to buy? According to Mrs. Lin's status, it's not easy to use some broken porcelain and rotten tiles to count. If there is no family heirloom, you can get gold, silver and copper." Tin, everything is available, square is decent."

"A poor family, where did you get the gold, silver and jewelry?" Lin Yongshang counted the money in his pocket, smiled embarrassedly, touched his nose, and said to Xu Yingyu, "I don't know if Mr. Xu is rich, can you borrow some from me?" A tael of silver? Next time the salary is paid, I will pay Mr. Xu back.”

Xu Yingyu hated herself for having cheap legs and being blackmailed.Xu Yingyu said, "Public and private interests are clearly distinguished, and interest must be paid."

"All right," Lin Yongshang bargained cheekily, "Let's just pay the official interest, Mr. Xu, are we also colleagues?" If it is a loan shark, Lin Yongshang may not be able to pay it back.

Lin Yongshang was really not rich, so he borrowed 200 taels of silver from Xu Yingyu to buy a somewhat decent dowry, and sent it back to the imperial capital along with Wu Wan's dowry.

Could it be that Wu Wan is particularly rare for things from Jiangnan as a dowry?He also deliberately wanted to bother Xu Yingyu, and it was nothing more than using Yingyu's mouth to say a word to Huaiyang officials.

Lin Yongshang went to the Yamen to do errands as usual, and the shaky Huaiyang officialdom finally stabilized again.

"Master Liang, how is the Huaiyang army practicing now?" Lin Yongshang asked Liang Dongchu, governor of Huaiyang.

Liang Dongchu said humbly, "Practice at Marquis Yongding, the queue is neat and very sturdy."

"I heard that Mr. Liang and Marquis Yongding seem to have an accident?" Lin Yongshang glanced at Liang Dongchu, Liang Dongchu was sweating. If Lin Yongshang stepped down, as the governor of Huaiyang, he had a great chance of taking charge of Huaiyang's military affairs temporarily.

Now that Huaiyang is a piece of fat, whoever has the opportunity, who doesn't want to take a bite.

Liang Dongchu was eager to try.

Who knows the direction of the wind, southeast today, northwest tomorrow, and suddenly, Lin Yongshang sat the governor's chair firmly again, so he hurriedly went to make friendship with Yongding Hou, and Liang Dongchu was a little eye-catching before he made the friendship.

Liang Dongchu hurriedly said, "The lower officials are completely laymen in military affairs. The insiders look at the doorway, and the laymen watch the fun. If it weren't for someone saying that Yongding Hou's daily drills would disturb the people, the lower officials would not have thought of going there to have a look, but the result was The inferior official's words were careless, which displeased the Marquis of Yongding. You have to ask your lord to make peace with the Marquis of Yongding on behalf of the inferior official."

Lin Yongshang smiled, "Yongding Marquis practiced every day, how can he have time to disturb the people? Mr. Liang is credulous, this problem is not good."

"That's what my lord taught me."

"Furthermore, there are quite a lot of impeachments against this official in the court. It is hard to say when the position of governor will change hands." Lin Yongshang said, "Master Liang, as the governor, may have to take the lead in Huaiyang at any time. And, it has always been a taboo in official circles."

Lin Yongshang saw that Liang Dongchu's face was so embarrassing that he couldn't even cover it up, so he laughed, "Master Liang is a few years older than me, so I don't need to talk about my official experience. I'm really a classmate. Master Liang, don't make fun of me. The official is."

Liang Dongchu sneered, "Master Lin is joking."

Shen Zhuo said that he was going to get married, and Lin Yongshang's house was not very spacious, but fortunately Lin Yongshang is working outside, otherwise it would be a joke if the uncle and niece and daughter-in-law were crowded in the same courtyard.

Shen Zhuoyan discussed with Wu Wan to add two walls to the house to form two courtyards, but this is a bit narrow, Wu Wan smiled, "It's just a temporary residence, it doesn't matter, in the future when Mrs. Lin gets married, I will definitely buy another From a big house."

"Yeah." Shen Zhuoyan felt apologetic, "I'm so poor, I really have nothing but a sincere heart."

Wu Wan smiled, "That's not true." She would say sweet words like this.

"Wanniang, please take a look at the invitation I wrote." Shen Zhuoyan took Wu Wan's hand, and Wu Wan slapped him away, "You're not married yet, don't touch your hands."

Shen Zhuoyan smacked his lips, "Sooner or later you must not pull." I really don't understand women.

Wu Wan glared at him, Shen Zhuo immediately changed her words and smiled apologetically, "Got it. Wanniang, this way please."

The corners of Wu Wan's lips were slightly raised, and she followed Shen Zhuoyan to look at the guest list, how to arrange wine, how to welcome guests, how to set up a colorful shed, etc. It was Wu Wan who introduced Shen Zhuoyan to decorate the house team of craftsmen.

Although Wu Wan can read characters, her literary talent and calligraphy are absolutely incomparable to Shen Zhuoyan's. Shen Zhuoyan's pen is a dragon and a snake, so first ask friends you know to list, such as Wei Ziyao, Xu Bingtang and others, and then Lin Yongshang's colleagues, Shen Zhuo said, "I don't know if Uncle's colleagues will come?"

"What's the matter? Others don't invite me. I heard that Li Xiang is Mr. Lin's teacher. As long as Li Xiang can be invited, the people below will definitely come." Wu Wan reminded Shen Zhuo, "And Xu Prime Minister, the daughter of Xu Xiang's family is Lord Xu, do you remember?"

"See what you said, I'm not an old man, can I forget about Mrs. Xu?" Shen Zhuo said, "I even invited Bingtang."

"Whether Xu Bingtang invites you or not, you must post a post to Prime Minister Xu. Miss Xu went to the semicolon of Kaishan Rentang in Huaiyang. As the governor of Huaiyang, Master Lin must be of help to Miss Xu. I heard Xu The girl and her party live in the Governor's Mansion." Wu Wan half-closed her eyes, with a touch of shrewdness, "Furthermore, I found out that Xu Shangshu spoke for Master Lin at court. Xu Shangshu is the emperor's teacher again. After reading the post, go and say it in person, Xu Shangshu has already given Master Lin his favor, and he will definitely give it to the end."

Wu Wan said, "As long as Xu Xiang and Li Xiang are invited, who will be invited and who will not come?"

"According to me, Lord Lin is far away in Huaiyang, and I'm afraid we won't be able to come back now. We are getting married, and the elders must have it." Wu Wan smiled, "Master, master, respect teachers like fathers. Li Xiang is Lord Lin's chief teacher." , which is equivalent to Master Lin's father. You simply treat Master Li as your elder, and it would be even more respectable to invite him to be the officiant."

Shen Zhuoyan nodded, "Although Li Xiang has never liked me very much, but now he has no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the door."

"Why doesn't he like you?" Wu Wan was reluctant to let Shen Zhuoyan run into a wall rashly, what should she do if she was humiliated, Wu Wan hurriedly asked.

Shen Zhuo said, "Didn't I drink too much last time and miss Chun Wei? From there, Li Xiang hummed first when he saw me. Ever since I wrote about the Zhao family last time, he didn't even hum to me." hum."

"It's okay, as long as you don't beat or scold, you can bear it. Humming and humming are nothing." Wu Wan didn't care about anything else.

Shen Zhuo said, "Let me ask Xu Bingtang for a while first, let him help us find out in front of Xu Xiang and say a few good words."

In this way, the fiancée and the married couple decided on the number of guests through discussion.

Li Pingzhou was a bit unimpressed with Shen Zhuo's proposal to marry Wu Wan.

It's just that Li Pingzhou received a letter from his student Lin Yongshang. In Lin Yongshang's letter, he said that Chen only had such a nephew, the only relative in the world.Now that he has no six relatives and is not in the imperial capital, he asked Li Pingzhou to preside over the marriage for Shen Zhuoyan.

Li Pingzhou really admired Lin Yongshang. He took care of Lin Yongshang a lot, and even vaguely regarded Lin Yongshang as his successor.

When Shen Zhuoyan came, Li Pingzhou didn't give him a good face.Because as soon as he saw Shen Zhuoyan, he would think of the fact that this person was drunk and missed the exam, and he was so angry!Now she wants to marry a business woman who lost her virginity, and she is still a shrew!

"Master, my apprentice and grandson greet you." Shen Zhuo said with a deep bow.

Shen Xu's marriage is a foregone conclusion, it's useless to talk about it.It's just that Li Pingzhou deeply felt that Shen Zhuoyan was not blessed, that, that, he had a little granddaughter.Now thirteen, two years from now, just the right age.At that time, it was also the time when Shen Zhuoyan went to Chunwei again, if Shen Zhuoyan was in high school, it would really be a good marriage.But this kid has no eyes, and now he wants to marry a shrew!

Li Pingzhou snorted, "Sit."

"I heard that Shigong likes to drink Tieguanyin, I just got some recently, and use it to honor Shigong." Shen Zhuo said with a smile.

Li Pingzhou ordered, "Fuzi, make a pot of the new tea that Zhuoyan sent you."

The servant took the order to retreat, Shen Zhuoyan started talking nonsense, "Master looks good."

"If you have something to say, just speak up." Shen Zhuoyan is not very diligent, and of course Li Pingzhou doesn't like to see him very much, especially now that Shen Zhuoyan is going to marry Wu Wan.If he had known that Shen Zhuoyan was so lame, he should have settled the matter with Lin Yongshang earlier.Looking at the silly boy, isn't he being tricked by the female goblin?

Shen Zhuo said with a sneer, "Master, I am not young anymore, and I have achieved nothing in my official career. As the saying goes, there are three ways to be unfilial, and having no offspring is the greatest. My family has no real property, no ability, and mediocre appearance. Now I am lucky to be favored by a lady. My uncle said that he wanted to marry Ms. Wu. My uncle saw that Ms. Wu's demeanor and demeanor are perfect, so he agreed."

"It's just that my uncle is not in the imperial capital, and only Shigong is my elder. I want to trouble Shigong to help me officiate the wedding."

"Su Zhuo has written about this matter." Li Pingzhou said.

Shen Zhuoyan was both surprised and delighted, scratched his head and said, "I don't even know." He got up and thanked Li Pingzhou, "Thank you, Master." It made things clear.

Li Pingzhou sighed, "What's the matter. Su Zhuo is my beloved disciple, and you are like his son, that is, my disciple and grandson. You don't have an elder, so it makes sense for me to act as Zhang Luo. It's just that you don't want to marry me for this marriage." Think about it again?"

Li Pingzhou felt that it was a pity, "With your literary talents, the next subject, Chunwei, is very sure." Shen Zhuoyan is different from Lin Yongshang, Lin Yongshang is both straightforward and strategic, and is a born politician.But Shen Zhuoyan is a bit clumsy compared to Lin Yongshang, but Shen Zhuoyan has a pure temperament and is a reliable child.Li Pingzhou is willing to rely on his granddaughter because he also likes Shen Zhuoyan's character.

Ever since Shen Zhuoyan wrote the royal newspapers, he has been regarded as a little celebrity before the imperial court, but Shen Zhuoyan has never been a bit of a dandy, and now he still insists on reading and writing every day, which is quite rare.

"I won a Jinshi, a lady from a famous family in the imperial capital, what can I ask for?" Li Pingzhou asked.

Shen Zhuo said with a smile, "Master, now that my uncle is framed by someone, Miss Wu is willing to accompany me in trouble. In the future, I will be awarded a Jinshi, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to find such a person."

"I heard that Shigong was framed by someone back then and went far away to Lingnan. Grandma still stays by her side to take care of Shigong's life. Over the years, she has supported him in adversity with deep affection." Shen Zhuo said flattering Li Pingzhou, "The apprentice and grandson are quite Envy and admiration."

Li Pingzhou couldn't help laughing, and scolded, "I've learned to make fun of me."

It's not that Li Pingzhou has never doubted Lin Yongshang's background. Moreover, Lin Yongshang is in a high position but has never been married, which is even more suspicious.It's just that Li Pingzhou still remembered Fan Linxi, he was a pretty good old man.No matter how upright Li Pingzhou's temperament is, he is also a person who works hard in the political center. He understands very well that if Fan Linxi is not the master of Prince Li, then it is very likely that the Fan family will have a different ending.

What's more, of course, when he was trapped by Queen Fang, Fan Linxi once spoke for Li Pingzhou in court, "Pingzhou has always been upright, if your majesty kills him, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the world's courtiers." .

Now, regardless of Lin Yongshang's background, Li Pingzhou cannot stand by and watch Lin Yongshang.

Different from Li Pingzhou's feelings for Lin Yongshang, Xu San is a guy who doesn't get up early without benefits.

The reason why he can speak for Lin Yongshang is naturally due to Xu Yingyu, but Xu San has other plans: Lin Yongshang hasn't married a wife at thirty, so I don't know if there is something wrong with him.

Her daughter knew it herself, although Xu Yingyu said several reasons why she wanted her father to speak up for Lin Yongshang, but Xu San was very suspicious of whether her daughter had a long-term relationship with Lin Yongshang or something.

Unmarried men and women are unmarried, and their daughters and daughters are good-natured, and there is nothing wrong with them.Lin Yongshang, of course it's not bad, compared to the previous Zeng Jing, he can throw three mountains.

It's just that Lin Yongshang is not married, does he really have the brand of official slaves on his body, or is there some hidden disease?

Thinking of this, Xu San felt a little untenable, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to his daughter, exhorting and exhorting: Now that your father and Li Xiangzheng are trying their best to scoop up Lin Yongshang, even if there is a brand of official slave, you'd better put it away. The piece of meat was cut off and said to have been bitten by a wolf.

Then I mentioned it cryptically: Girl, you are not young. Although there are many young men in the imperial capital, it's just that Dad, I don't think there is anyone who is worthy of my beloved daughter.If the daughter knows any outstanding heroes, the family is not pedantic anyway, as long as the daughter likes it, basically the parents at home will not say anything.Second marriage? It depends on what you mean.

Ming Zhan also believes that it is not so easy for Lin Yongshang to step down. Although Lin Yongshang has no background, he has been an official for so many years, and Lin Yongshang is not in vain.

The colleagues and mentors who should be made, everyone has made friends.Moreover, people like Xu San and Li Pingzhou really tried their best to catch Lin Yongshang.From what Lin Yongshang said, he has an accurate estimate of his weight in the emperor's heart.

No one expected that such a thrilling accident would happen at Shen Zhuoyan's wedding.
