[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

Wang Shuo's marriage was at an impasse, and even Wang Shouzhong, who had agreed long ago that he would not ask questions, couldn't help but insinuate: "It's better for Shuo'er's marriage to be settled earlier."

"No rush, isn't she still in time?" Princess Fuhui said casually.

"It's only a few months away, which girl didn't get ready early, there are so many people asking for marriage, I think..."

"I think it's a good thing for a family of females to show the dignity of me, Shuoer." Princess Fuhui interrupted Wang Shouzhong's words rudely, and picked up a teacup to drink tea. It was very obvious that she didn't want to talk anymore.

Wang Shouzhong tugged on his sleeves tightly, then sighed again: "But it's too embarrassing to reject other people like this, isn't it a revenge?"

"There are so many families discussing marriage, and some of them just talk about it once." Princess Fuhui said impatiently. Seeing what Wang Shouzhong had to say, she was unwilling to be euphemistic and reserved, and said directly: "Suo'er I'm in charge of the marriage, you and I have already agreed, what are you doing talking about now? I warn you, don't use Shuo'er's life as a bargaining chip, otherwise...you know."

Princess Fuhui's pretty face was frosty, her angry eyes slightly opened, and she stared at Wang Shouzhong viciously.Wang Shouzhong didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but his face darkened, and he said earnestly: "I'm afraid you'll be too picky. I'm naturally happy that Shuo Er is popular. It's just that you don't know what's going on in the court. The inner bag is clean, I am afraid that Shuo'er will suffer~"

"If I'm still here, my daughter won't suffer!" Princess Fuhui said firmly.If she is gone, what can Wang Shouzhong expect?

Wang Shouzhong was embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "See what you said."

Princess Fuhui really didn't want to talk to him, she didn't want to do it out of face, so she got up and left.

Wang Shuo didn't know that the relationship between her parents had deteriorated to such an extent, and Wang Shuo was not worried about his own marriage. How many people could force her now?Wang Shuo is entertaining guests at Xiaohuazhuang——

"I haven't seen you for several months, you are already His Highness the County Lord." Xue Hong said with emotion.

"But I can't afford to be your Highness." Wang Shuo smiled.

"In the future, I will always call you Your Highness." Xue Hongyu pointed out.

"Yeah, I've been wondering why His Majesty didn't give me a title. After all, I'm someone who saved me!" Wang Shuo jokingly changed the subject, not talking about whether he would marry the prince.

Xue Hong smiled lightly. He sent people to help Wang Shuo with conditions at the beginning, but what he did suddenly was really unethical, but Xue Hong didn't take this unethical to heart. He is not a bit cheeky in business, how can he keep doing it? .

Xue Hong took out a chart from his pocket, which was the way Wang Shuo gave him to get rid of the Secretary of General Administration.Xue Hong unfolded the chart on the table, and said: "You said that there are unowned lands overseas, which can be occupied by the king; You see, the fleet usually hits the rocks when they arrive at this place, and even if they are lucky enough to survive, they must stop at the shore to rest, and the local natives are not good at it.”

Wang Shuo looked at the place Xue Hong was pointing at, with a heavy expression on his face. If the great voyage was so easy, those navigators would not be famous in history.Wang Shuo looked at the map carefully, but she couldn't see anything. When she was studying geography, she remembered representative areas, and the environment was very different when she was playing.Wang Shuo was worried, but he didn't show it on his face. He sighed: "Navigation is dangerous, and we should take care of the families of those who go to sea."

"It's not that the family has no permanent property and is alone. Who would leave their hometown to seek a life at sea." Xue Hong smiled and said, "Do you know the specific route?"

"I said Boss Xue, Mr. Xue, this is greedy. If I have detailed charts, do I need to tell you? I made it myself." Wang Shuo said.

"I guess you don't either. The few boats under your command are wandering around in the surrounding small countries." Xue Hong showed an expected expression.

"I don't need to go far, just playing around like this is enough to support my expenses."

"And it's more than enough." Xue Hong added.

"Yeah, the prospect is so good, what are you not satisfied with?" Wang Shuo asked.

"The initial investment was too much. I threw so much money into the water, and there was not even a ripple." Xue Hong was a little discouraged, because the sea was too big.

"If you can succeed casually, someone has already done it. It's something you've been planning to do for decades. Don't worry." Wang Shuo comforted him heartlessly.

Xue Hong approached, and said wretchedly: "Why don't you tell me where you saw the chart, and I'll go find out." Xue Hong, who was a secret agent, always believed that Wang Shuo's chart was stolen and snatched from somewhere by chance. of.

"It's in my head." Wang Shuo said unhappily, "I've helped you so much. What else do you want?"

"Yeah, yeah, when I invested money in the early stage, I was the only one who threw the silver, and when the money was distributed later, I had your dry shares. It is said that our Xue family was a businessman in the era of the Xue family, and I think you are the one who counts every penny." , Careful calculation." Xue Hong complained that the money invested in the early stage was terrifyingly large, and his own private house was emptied.

"Pfft..." Wang Shuo couldn't help laughing, "Where did you say that you are old and cunning?"

"By the way, who are you going to marry?" Xue Hong asked suddenly.

"Again!" Wang Shuo rolled his eyes and said, "What does it matter to you who I marry? Don't worry, I will definitely marry a prince, aristocrat, or high-ranking official. Otherwise, will I get back my money?"

"Look at what you said, what we value as businessmen is honesty, your dry stock is yours, who can defraud you." Xue Hong smiled flatteringly.

Wang Shuo smiled, he didn't take it seriously, a person who has to push back even if he wants to do a favor, do you expect him to have the character of a saint?She and Xue Hong have been guarded against and admired each other since they first met, but this appreciation is not enough for Wang Shuo to give it a go.

Wang Shuo would not admit that she had imagined that if Xue Hong could become king overseas, she would be willing to fight with him, but these were just immature fantasies. Back to reality, Xue Hong was never in the scope of Wang Shuo's choice of spouse.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Xue Hong left to do his own business. This time he went to the capital to report to the emperor on the official supervision of the coastal generation in the past two years, and to send money to the emperor's private treasury.

After Xue Hong left, Suzaku stepped forward and put a fur-collared cloak on Wang Shuo, puzzled and said, "What is Master Xue doing here, and he left after talking some gossip, so tired that the master sat in the drafty hall for a long time. "

Suzaku replaced the stove with charcoal and handed it to Wang Shuo. Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Gossiping is also important."

"Master, please teach me, I'm not good at this, and I'm not as good as Xuanwu and Suzhen." Suzaku said modestly.

"Everyone has their own strengths." Wang Shuo smiled and talked about Xue Hong's reason for coming: "He came to connect with me, hehe, I'm familiar with him, I'm sure I don't mean to withdraw halfway, and I'm sure I won't endanger his business , and test my future plans by the way." All in all, he came here to inquire about the news, and lived up to his background.

"The master still had such a happy chat with Uncle Xue." Suzaku said puzzled.

"It's mutual defense and mutual restraint that makes people feel at ease. Apart from you, I don't even have a place to tell the truth. He won't betray me. Talking to him is happy and reassuring. Isn't it worth my smile?" Wang Shuo always has such a reason.

"Do you want to keep an eye on Uncle Xue?" Suzaku was troubled: "No one in Beijing can hide from Uncle Xue's eyes. Do you need to transfer people from the northwest back to Beijing?" It's higher.

"No need, just find someone to watch from the outside." It's just a gesture, Xue Hong can't turn his back on her at present.

Wang Shuo spent a few days relaxing in Xiaohuazhuang, and just returned to Wang's house when he had a headache.

In front of Princess Fuhui were gifts from several princes and their wives and in-laws, which were said to be filial to Princess Fuhui, and filled the small courtyard in the east courtyard.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Wang Shuo asked curiously.

"It's okay, come in and talk." Princess Fuhui waved her hands tiredly, and the maid next to her whispered the source of the gift to Wang Shuo.

As soon as she entered the room, Princess Fuhui handed over a list to Wang Shuo, saying: "Your marriage really cannot be postponed, I think they don't care about their faces, I have carefully screened the children on this list, you Seeing that satisfaction, I will call back."

"These are all here to propose marriage." Wang Shuo shook the list in disbelief, these people are doing so well in the marriage market, will they come to disturb her?

"As long as you are willing." Princess Fuhui said.

Oh, it turned out that they only picked the best ones, without considering the man's opinion.

Wang Shuo looked at the list carefully, but he couldn't pick out anything with all four corners, so he handed the list to Princess Fuhui with a headache, and said, "Mother, can I delay it for a while, and I won't make it in a few months? We must marry immediately."

Only 15 years old, not to mention physical development, even in the current chaotic situation, there is no one to marry right away.

"The princes are pressing on every step of the way. If this continues, the good people will be scared away. There is no way to delay." Princess Fuhui also feels sorry for Wang Shuo, but it's better to make an appointment early.

"If you are engaged, you can regret it, if you become a relative, you can leave, mother, don't worry~"

"Bah, bah, bah! Tongyan, Bodhisattva, don't worry, don't worry." Princess Fuhui bawled a few times, and then thanked the Buddha, Taoism and gods to the sky, and said: "How big is a man, and I still talk like I was a child. Unobtrusive, amazing words, you are sincerely scaring me."

Wang Shuo flattered the princess with a smile and gave the princess a shoulder and a back, and said: "It's not impossible, you can ask for a favor, let your majesty make me the princess?"

"What kind of saying is this?" Princess Fuhui asked.
