Feng Qiugui regained consciousness at this moment, glanced at the paper in Shen Jia's hand, and asked with difficulty: "Brother, I drank too much for my brother just now, this... this paper..."
Shen Jia smiled shyly, and raised the evidence, "It stands to reason that you shouldn't take this if you haven't done something, but it was really embarrassing just now, maybe all the officials are calling me a toad in their hearts. As for the swan meat, this kind of reward is not too much, Brother Feng wants to go back on his word, right?"
"That...hehe, it's not regrettable, it's just this house. It's your sister-in-law's dowry. It's not good for me to dispose of it privately. Otherwise, I'll go back and ask your sister-in-law?" Feng Qiugui understood clearly, and then said His wife disagreed, Shen Jia must be embarrassed to ask his wife for it, right?
At this time, Director Du walked up to Shen Jia, bent over and said, "Master Shen, the Emperor asked you to go over."
Shen Jia raised her eyebrows, winked at Feng Qiugui, and then followed Manager Du. Feng Qiugui stared at him all the way, saw him kneeling in front of the emperor, not knowing what the emperor said, Shen Jia shook his head again She nodded again, and glanced at him.
Feng Qiugui hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look over there anymore.
Shen Jia came back soon, sat down and said to him: "Brother Feng, I'm really sorry, the emperor blamed you just now, I was afraid so I confessed you, but the emperor didn't say anything, it's just according to him After reading it, you...do you still want to take it back?"
What a joke, if he wants to return something that caught the emperor's eyes, wouldn't he let the emperor know that he reneged on his promise and became fat?He shook his head quickly: "No, no, I was joking for my brother. Since I promised to give it to you, it is naturally yours."
Shen Jia nodded in embarrassment, and stuffed the documents into her sleeves, "Then I will not be disrespectful, and let the family get the deed tomorrow."
What else was said at the banquet that Feng Qiugui was no longer interested, and sat sluggishly. Considering his feelings, Shen Jia didn't bother him, and chatted with Wang Langzhong on the other side.
Although Wang He is extremely arrogant, he is much more interesting than Feng Qiugui after he really made friends with him. After the publication of the newspaper, Wang He completely changed his view of Shen Jia. He used to think that he was a hypocrite. After a few issues of newspapers, especially after reading a few masterpieces by Idlers, I took the initiative to make friends with Shen Jia and became close to him.
When the envoys from all over the world saw that the emperor gave the beauties directly to the courtiers, the envoys who originally planned to present beauties all stopped their thoughts. The beauties were useless, so they could only find another way to curry favor with Emperor Qing Jia.
Except for Tatar and Wacha, the military strength of other neighboring countries is not enough to pose a threat to Dajin. If they dare to send troops easily, Dajin may destroy their small country with a free hand, so they don't have much ambition. Maintain friendly relations with neighboring countries with Dajin, and be able to support them in times of difficulty.
At the end of the banquet, the Empress Dowager was surrounded and came to the main hall to accept the gifts from the ministers and envoys from various countries. At this time, whoever's gift should be particularly outstanding and the Empress Dowager takes a fancy to it might have a good future, so many Officials have gone to great lengths to choose gifts for birthday celebrations.
However, not everyone is qualified to offer congratulatory gifts on the spot. For Shen Jia's level, his gifts are probably thrown into the warehouse without even looking at them.
Everyone loves to watch the presenting part, and everyone can take this opportunity to open their eyes.
The emperor and queen were the first to congratulate the birthday. The two presented a picture of longevity meticulously embroidered by a hundred embroiderers. 1 "shou" characters formed a portrait of a Bodhisattva. The momentum is magnificent, no one can say it is bad, but it is not so ingenious, it is just a congratulatory gift that does not go wrong.
The Empress Dowager looked faintly, so she put it away and said nothing, next was Prince Rui, who presented a wooden palace made by himself, imitating the Palace of Compassion and Ning, although the technique was immature and not very delicate, But the queen mother couldn't put it down, she looked at it for a long time, and couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear when she saw the miniature statue of herself and her grandson. Obviously, this gift was sent to her heart.
Afterwards, several princes gave gifts, either precious jade or exquisite embroidery, none of which were too brilliant.
Afterwards, it was the turn of the envoys from all over the world to present gifts, all of which were meticulously prepared, novel and brilliant, and the smile on the Empress Dowager's face never faded away, and she even ordered people to reward the envoys with a lot of things.
It was getting late, and Shen Jia thought that the banquet should be over, but at this time, the Queen Mother suddenly asked: "When Ai's family was in the palace, they read the new newspapers in their spare time, and they bought every issue. I heard that This thing is the idea of a doctor in Hubu, I don't know who it is?"
Zhao Zhang frowned, and looked at her in disapproval. Just as he was about to speak, the Queen stopped him. Wei Jinrong said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, pay attention to the occasion. It is impossible for the Queen Mother to embarrass Master Shen in front of everyone."
Seeing that Shen Jia had got up and walked out, Zhao Zhang knelt in the center of the hall, "Go back to the Empress Dowager, the newspaper is the idea of this minister."
"Oh, such a young and handsome Langzhong, the younger generation is awesome, raise your head and let Aijia see." The Queen Mother was smiling, looking extraordinarily kind and gentle, but Shen Jia didn't dare to take her as a gentle and harmless woman .
He raised his head and met the Empress Dowager's eyes, then lowered his head calmly, only to hear the Empress Dowager above said with a smile: "You are such a rare handsome gentleman in the world! Is there a marriage?"
Shen Jia's heart tightened, and she answered bravely: "Back to the Queen Mother, I... have already married a wife."
"Oh? Which family's girl did you marry?"
The eunuch next to the queen mother told her in a low voice: "Mother, he married the former beauty Liu. Later, the emperor bestowed the title of county head and married Master Shen."
The Empress Dowager's expression turned subtle, as if she looked deeply at her son, "So that's how it is, it's really a good plan!" If it wasn't for the fact that the mother and son were separated, she should have seen the tricks here. It's a pity, and now I'm going to be a villain who beats mandarin ducks. She is no longer qualified.
But she didn't want the two of them to have a good time, especially Shen Jia, who took advantage of her indisputable face to seduce the emperor, it was really disgusting!
"I heard that Mr. Shen asked the emperor to reward a beauty at the banquet just now. The emperor didn't seem to agree. He is stingy and Ai's family is not stingy. There are a few innocent beauties who have been raised around Ai's family. Two of them have the blood of the Western Regions. She is no worse than the previous beauties, so I will send her to serve you."
Shen Jia was completely stunned, of course he couldn't want these two women, but how could he refuse?He was indeed the one who proposed to ask the emperor to reward a beauty before, so it is self-defeating to refuse the Queen Mother now.
Just now he was still snickering that he got a house for nothing, but he didn't expect the world's rewards to come so quickly, a man really can't be greedy for petty gains.
Zhao Zhang dissuaded in a cold voice: "Mother, Shen Jia is only a fifth-rank official, and newly married, it is not appropriate for you to give a beauty at this time."
"The beauty is what he wants, so what's wrong? This beautiful wife and concubine is the symbol of a man's identity. I think Mrs. Shen will understand." She asked Shen Jia with a good mood: "Why don't you bring her here now? See? If you don't like it, you can change it."
"I...don't dare to accept rewards without merit."
"How can it be useless? Needless to say, the influence of the newspaper, I heard that you also raised money for the border soldiers and made cotton clothes for them. This credit should have been promoted long ago. The emperor must have suppressed you when he saw you were young." If you don't want to be promoted, if you are a beautiful woman with fame and fortune, you must get something." The Queen Mother spoke with certainty, and it was obvious that Shen Jia would not refuse.
Shen Jia had no choice but to thank him, anyway, even if the person arrived at home, he had the final say on how to deal with it, but this feeling was too uncomfortable, as if there was a void in his heart.
After thanking Shen Jia, she returned to her seat and didn't notice the envoys. Several people were staring at him intently, with a fierce light in their eyes, like a wolf staring at fat.
"It turned out to be him. If it wasn't for him, it would definitely not be so difficult for us to attack Jiading Pass this time. We must find a way to get rid of this person!"
"But things have come to this point, so what can we do except him?"
"Hmph, of course those who hinder our plan must be eliminated quickly, but we are in Chang'an City, so it's not easy to do it ourselves, we will discuss it later."
After the banquet, Shen Jia took the two beauties out of the palace, her face was not at all joyful, but full of bitterness.
Feng Qiugui was extremely envious and jealous, he tried every means to get the beauties, but Shen Jia easily got two, and because it was given by the Empress Dowager by name, he still couldn't ask him for them.
He leaned close to Shen Jia and asked in a low voice: "Brother Shen, can that house be replaced by a beauty?"
Shen Jia replied helplessly: "I would like to give it all to Brother Feng, but the empress dowager gave it to someone. I'm afraid it's not easy to transfer it, otherwise it will harm Brother Feng."
"No, no, no, you don't need to give it to me, as long as...hehe, you can put them in that house, and invite me over for a drink once in a while."
Shen Jia's face was pulled down, he couldn't understand what Feng Qiugui meant, he wanted to use his place to plot evil, could he use his place as a brothel?
"Brother Feng, forgive me, I'm afraid this won't work. If you really like it, I'll make plans for you in the future so that you can bring the beauty back in a fair manner."
"Really?"
"Of course, I don't like them."
Feng Qiugui rubbed his hands and asked lewdly: "Then would you touch them? Of course, I don't dislike them or anything, but that... You know, it's better if you're a virgin."
Shen Jia didn't want to talk to him, so she said goodbye to him and left with others.
After leaving the palace, he stopped outside the carriage and thought about it. It was impossible for him to share the carriage with two women, but it seemed that it was not very good to let two delicate women walk. Take two sedan chairs, and carry them to the house in Liushu Alley."
He Yanzao was stunned, and asked in disbelief: "Master, you... Where did you get the beauty from?"
"It was rewarded by the Queen Mother."
"Then... how do you explain to Madam?" He Yan felt that Madam was too miserable. He met a man who didn't love him and had to compete with other women for favor, and Shen Jia didn't bring him home. Cang Jiao?
Shen Jia knocked on his head and questioned: "What are you thinking? Put the expression on your face, don't you know me?"
He Yan rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I thought something was wrong, then, how should these two be arranged?"
"Let's put it away first." He didn't believe that the queen mother could still put someone on his bed, and he accepted it, so he had the final say on how to arrange it.
As soon as the carriage moved, He Yan saw Mr. Du running out panting, hurriedly asked the driver to stop, and then jumped down to salute Mr. Du.
Du Fucheng had no time to talk to this kid, and asked Shen Jia panting, "Master Shen, the emperor ordered you to bring those two beauties back to your residence."
"Why?"
"The emperor said that he has his own arrangements, and those two are still useful."
Shen Jia didn't know why, but she nodded in response, "Okay."
Shen Jia smiled shyly, and raised the evidence, "It stands to reason that you shouldn't take this if you haven't done something, but it was really embarrassing just now, maybe all the officials are calling me a toad in their hearts. As for the swan meat, this kind of reward is not too much, Brother Feng wants to go back on his word, right?"
"That...hehe, it's not regrettable, it's just this house. It's your sister-in-law's dowry. It's not good for me to dispose of it privately. Otherwise, I'll go back and ask your sister-in-law?" Feng Qiugui understood clearly, and then said His wife disagreed, Shen Jia must be embarrassed to ask his wife for it, right?
