[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Shen Yue is afraid that Bachelor Shen will be unhappy, but there are people in this world who are not afraid of Bachelor Shen being unhappy, and even willing to see Bachelor Shen being unhappy!That person knows without asking, it is now!

The princes tasted the sweetness of going to Shen Yue's Zhuangzi last time, and they refused to let go of this opportunity. Just like that time, they went to the present together, thinking that today's Jinkou Yuyan would overwhelm Xueshi Shen, Don't get in the way, so that Shen Yue's printing house can be built smoothly.

Today, I am somewhat satisfied with these sons: Shen Yue has inadvertently discovered the respective strengths of the princes, and now they can have their own priorities by letting them listen to politics and join the ministry: the third prince went to the Imperial College, and the fifth prince went to the Imperial College The Ministry of Officials, the Sixth Prince went to the Ministry of Households, the Seventh Prince went to the Ministry of Industry (even if it is not suitable for Gu Shangshu, but he has not thought about changing places for him now), the eighth prince went to Taipu Temple, and the ninth prince went to the Ministry of Industry. It is the Ministry of Rites.

The only regret today is that none of the sons is a good soldier. Fortunately, the fourth prince looks very serious every day. The prince's errand, the second prince smashed the study again.

Now it's just for fun, now there are errands from the third prince to the ninth prince. As the eldest son, the first prince is not assigned to the ministry like the second prince, but the first prince can enjoy it so much that he directly smashed the second prince in the study, Isn't the evaluation in today's mind just another [-]% drop?

Originally, he kept his two older sons from joining the club because he wanted to see their xinxing and comprehension. He didn’t want to wait until he tried comprehension.

Although the eldest prince did not join the club, he seemed to have a tacit understanding with his brothers. No matter which prince he asked other than the second prince, he would always get the answer he wanted.But the second prince was arrogant at first, but later showed a faint intention to win over and flatter the prince who joined the ministry, making Jin Jin, who had been paying attention to them, shake his head from time to time.

idiot!Today, there is only such an evaluation for the second prince.

But idiots have their own uses, they can hone the patience and coping skills of the sons.Today, like his father, he will not allow the second prince to have the opportunity to contact military power or raise private soldiers, and will not allow him to have the capital of turmoil. The meaning of his existence has been thought out for him now, that is to give him The other son is a reference, a reference who can't see where the timing and form will fall.

The idiot who made the reference didn’t come, so he doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with it now. He also knows that the second prince and Shen Yue are at odds, but the eldest prince didn’t come either, which made him a little puzzled: “You should discuss this matter with the boss. Have you been?"

The third prince and the others looked at each other in dismay. Today they went to find Shen Yue on a whim and did not discuss it with the eldest prince. Why would the father ask such a question?Seeing that they don't answer now, their faces are a little gloomy: "Brothers are united to make money, so what about the Shen family? It's just that Bachelor Shen is paranoid, so everyone makes a joke. You have to follow in the footsteps of the Shen family." ?"

They came here just to ask today to suppress Bachelor Shen and let him not be a hindrance, so why would they want to follow in the footsteps of the Shen family?The eldest third prince had no choice but to answer today's words: "Because the eldest brother has to be in the middle to dispatch from time to time, so we were afraid that the eldest brother would be distracted, so we didn't bother the eldest brother."

Center scheduling?It's funny to hear it now, when did his sons, who had already thought carefully, agree to be dispatched by the boss?Do they know what the consequences will be for themselves if they acquiesce in the boss's right to mediate?

That's right, after these worthless things went to Shen Yue's Zhuangzi last time, Shen Yue left questions for them respectively, and in the end it was up to the boss to supervise and inspect these brothers.

That is to say, since then, they have recognized that the boss has the power to supervise them?Do they know what it means to themselves to hand over the power of supervision to the boss?Now he can't help but look at his sons, are they as stupid as the second child?

No matter how you look at your own sons today, it doesn't seem like they are stupid and don't know how to count. This shows that the results of the boss's supervision and inspection last time, their brothers agree, and feel that the boss is not partial.That's fine, but today's heart feels relieved: an impartial supervisor recognized by the brothers will make the transfer of power more stable.

Could this be the check and balance Shen Yue was after?Then he wants to build a press this time, does he have other deep meanings?Why didn't the boss participate this time?

Thinking too much about the present, directly drove the sons out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and asked them to discuss with the eldest prince to come up with a charter before coming to find him.As for the third prince asking him if he wanted to invite the second prince to discuss it together, he was blocked by him saying: "You can figure it out yourself".

Shen Yue didn't know that the princes didn't give up the idea of ​​investing in shares. What he had to do every day was to use block letters to copy a copy of Grand Master Shen's manuscripts before his death for future engraving—since he wanted to borrow Grand Master Shen's name, then The first manuscript printed by the press should naturally be the posthumous work of Grand Master Shen.Out of respect for the elderly, Shen Yue decided to copy the printed characters by himself.

After sorting out and transcribing, Shen Yue revisited Taishi Shen's thinking process, retook Taishi Shen's path of being an official, and reproduced Taishi Shen's way of being an official.

"The old man's thoughtfulness and accuracy in understanding people's hearts are really beyond compare." Shen Yue sighed to Daiyu who was helping him sort out the manuscript.

Daiyu has been accompanying Shen Yue in the study for the past few days, doing the preliminary classification work for him. For convenience, she is wearing narrow sleeves, and now she is holding Taishi Shen's poems and reading, showing her slender wrists, making Shen Yue The more I feel that I should hold it.

After listening to Shen Yue's sigh, Daiyu also smiled brightly: "I only admire the grandeur and wisdom in the old man's poems. Everyone thinks that an official can't write good poems, but the old man's poems are full of officialdom, and they don't feel like a poem." Pretending to be a hermit, the reading is refined."

Shen Yue said to her dissatisfied: "It's agreed to sort it out for me. My book is almost finished copying. You can just hold the poem manuscript and sort it out for me tomorrow."

It was only then that Daiyu realized that she was fascinated again and forgot about the business, and she apologized to Shen Yue embarrassedly: "My brother has really worked hard these few days, why don't you take a day off tomorrow?"

This kind of soft words directly caused Shen Yue's handwriting to pause. He stabilized his mind, finished writing the words in his hand, and then raised his head and said to Daiyu: "I told you earlier, but now these are too complicated. How easy is it to wait until it’s printed? You have to read it now, do you want to print the book earlier?”

Daiyu blushed at what he said: "You haven't even written off the characters of the printing house, how can it be printed so easily."

"Silly girl," Shen Yue laughed at her: "You don't even think about it. If you don't print the old man's first, how can you have the nerve to print yours? What's more, I still want to accompany your poems with paintings. How many days? So let's hurry up." Why don't Shuangxi go to Yangliuqing to scout people.

Daiyu was speechless, and followed him to tidy up again.

The third prince and others couldn't get past the second prince after all, and wanted to invite him to discuss with the first prince.Unexpectedly, when the second prince heard that it was Shen Yue's business, he immediately refused, and even used his brother's money to teach the third prince and others:

"You have all gone to the various ministries to listen to the government, so you should put your mind to relieve father's worries, why are you still messing around with Shen Yue? He is just playing the banner of elegance, doing money-smelling deeds, and it is worth seven or eight of you princes to take care of him." He is a subordinate to worry about."

The third prince wanted to refute, but he held back with a smile: "Even if the second brother is not interested, then let's ask the eldest brother if he wants to participate." After speaking, he left the second prince's study with his brothers.

The second prince looked at the swaying door curtain with a sinking face, as if Shen Yue's shadow could stare out from between the door curtain, and then spit on him.

"The second prince is getting impatient." A shriveled voice came from the inner room, and the man also came out of the inner room. He was a middle-aged man with the same shriveled body and voice.

The second prince looked at him, but his expression didn't change much: "What does Mr. Mu mean by that?"

The middle-aged man called Mr. Mu didn't seem to notice the impatience in the second prince's expression, and forced a smile on his thin face: "I heard that the several princes get along well with the first prince, why don't the second prince get along with Guang Tong?" Do you want to advance and retreat with the brothers?"

The second prince was dissatisfied and said: "It was you who persuaded me to stand out from the crowd back then, and now you are the one who wants me to be like the light. With such repeated changes, how do you make the emperor think of me?"

What do you call standing out from the crowd?Mr. Mu suppressed the sarcasm in his heart, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "At this time, at that time, at that time, I didn't understand the mind of the sage. The sage himself went through the chaos of seizing the throne, and what he wanted to see was that the princes and brothers are of the same mind." .Now that we know it, we will naturally change it.”

"Brothers are of the same heart." The second prince said disdainfully: "It depends on who is the brother! I am usually patient with these little ones, and even have to go along with their words from time to time, but who of them treats me like this?" Do you care about being the second brother? How can I be united with their brothers?"

Mr. Mu let him speak in a daze, and he wanted to persuade him not to put his posture so high when he usually wanted to win over others.When you go along with others, don't let others see how far-fetched it is.But this second master is not so persuasive. Mr. Mu couldn't help asking himself, can this work from the dragon really be accomplished?

But I have already entered the second prince's mansion, and it is not so easy to get out, so I still have to persuade the second prince: "It is said that sincerity leads to spirit, and it is said that those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. The second prince only needs to get along with a few princes and let them Feeling the sincerity of the second prince, in time the princes will surely break their hearts to the second prince."

Xu was the second prince who heard the phrase that great things happen regardless of small details. He pondered for a while before asking someone to find out if the princes had all gone to the eldest prince's mansion.During this period, I had a good chat with Mr. Mu for a while, looking forward to a bright future, and was angered again by the news brought back by the person sent to inquire.

"A group of princes condescended to meet a subordinate, what a disgrace, disgrace to the royal family!" The second prince threw an inkstone.

Mr. Mu should be very distressed, and the smile on his face finally couldn't be maintained: "This Shen Yue also has his advantages, at least his calligraphy and painting, now he has become a whole of his own, even the Queen Mother likes it."

"It's just a Wengou!" The second prince said contemptuously about Shen Yue, but he didn't realize that these two words made Mr. Mu's face darken.

Shen Yue, who was called Wengou by the second prince, was being asked a lot by the princes. They wanted to know everything, they had their own opinions on everything, they took everything for granted, and they wanted to see the effect in the shortest possible time!

Shen Yue had to assign topics to several princes: the third prince and the eighth prince were responsible for collecting the orphaned and rare books of the Hanlin Academy, the Palace Library, and the Imperial College. According to the author of the rare book and the reputation of the book itself, the order of publication is determined.

The fourth prince was in the Ministry of War, so he didn't have much time, so he still wanted to pay the money, so Shen Yue stopped him directly: "I haven't decided how much to invest. If you pay one hundred and eighty thousand at once, what should others do?"

The fifth prince had done business with Shen Yue, so he supervised the construction progress of the printing house.As soon as the seventh prince quit, he also wanted to see what to do with the automatically reprinted thing that Shen Yue said, so he and the fifth prince were assigned together.

The sixth prince is most useful, he has to figure out the final investment of the printing house, and how much the princes should contribute.Shen Yue had no choice but to say ugly things in his head: "Princes, you should know that this printing house is probably a money-losing business, and your money may not be enough." Maybe you will invest every year in the future.

Can make a good impression on the father, which prince still cares about money?The eldest prince spoke the most eloquently: "You just invest first, if it's not enough, I'll add more."

The Ninth Prince, who was not on an errand, was silent, and Shen Yue thought about giving him to the Sixth Prince: "This money is the most important thing. Youdao is a brother who settles accounts clearly, and this outsider, my minister, dare not touch it. It is the Ninth Prince who supervises the Sixth Prince." The prince's account is more reassuring."

The eldest prince smiled slightly, he didn't have any specific errands, but he wasn't in a hurry at all: Don't look at Xiao Jiu as supervising Xiao Liu, but he can supervise everyone, it doesn't feel too good.Let the concubine send two sets of jewelry to my younger sister tomorrow, this brother-in-law is really awesome.

They discussed it well, and now they know the result. He didn't want to comment on the second prince, but after returning to Kunning Palace, he said to the queen: "If you have more silver in your dowry, you should subsidize Jin'er more."

The queen heard it strangely: "When he divided the mansion, he also got Huangzhuang. He made a lot of money in a year, and he has annual regulations and salary. In addition, I have seen his wife for several years. She is not so extravagant and ostentatious. Not many people came in, so it should be enough.”

Today looked at the empress sympathetically: "Your good son-in-law has plotted against my sons again." Seeing that the empress was puzzled, he told the empress the eldest prince's last bold words:

"Think about it, there are so many rare and rare books in this world, and how many years it will take to print them all? How many years can he last with the little money in his own mansion?" But this printing house should be hung under Shen Yue's name, At that time, Shen Yue will have to get the great reputation of printing the book of the world.

A bunch of stupid things.Today, he once again judges his sons like this.

The queen couldn't help but worry for her son: "You are really confused. Even for the sake of your brother-in-law's face, you shouldn't say such a full word. Isn't it a joke to let people know about such a laborious and futile matter?"

"Working for nothing? A joke?" Today's eyes sharpened: "How can such a good thing that benefits the world and benefits the people be a joke? I feel very relieved that Jin'er can say such a thing, but you think it is It's a joke, it can be seen that Jin'er is better than Xiao Zhen."

Even if there is more irony in today's words, the queen not only does not feel disgusted, but is even more happy: "I am just a woman with insight, so I can't compare with a sage's foresight. Jiner was taught by a sage, so I naturally follow the sage's footsteps in everything I do. track." It's good to be like you, because if you look like you, you won't be afraid of your suspicion.

Today he cheerfully accepted this small flattery, and even sent 10 taels of silver from his already full inner treasury to Kunning Palace, which was regarded as subsidizing the eldest prince with the help of the queen.

Faced with so much money, even the eldest prince felt soft when he held it: "Mother, this is absolutely impossible. As Shen Yue said, printing a book is not a year's work, and the son tightens it every year, which saves money." Out."

The queen looked at her mature son with some relief: "That's what I said, but you are the eldest son of a sage, and you have to maintain the dignity you deserve. The sage said that I would subsidize you, and that should be the meaning."

Hearing what the queen said, the eldest prince put away the money, and whispered to the queen: "It's all thanks to Shen Yue, the queen mother, don't forget my sister." The cry of the sister made her cry willingly.

The queen nodded: "Of course I know." The foster daughter recognized her, so how could she not be thinking of her from time to time?

With the participation of the princes, it is not difficult to ask for someone from the House of Internal Affairs. Even the head of the Manufacturing Office of the House of Internal Affairs would ask the Seventh Prince if he still needs manpower—after he helped Shen Yue make furniture last time, Today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is allowed to set up a separate department for the manufacture of new furniture, and let them open a shop in Beijing, and the orders are scheduled for two years later.The Ministry of Internal Affairs has tasted the sweetness, and now it is heard that Shen Yue is employing people again, so don't be too enthusiastic about participating.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry also heard the news, but now that Shen Yue is no longer in the Ministry of Industry, they can only look at the craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with longing eyes, and they can learn new things from Shen Yue.It wasn't just the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry who were jealous, Zhang Yi was even jumping around in a hurry.

Shen Yue is his nobleman, and everyone in the Ministry of Industry knows that when Shen Yue is squeezed out by Gu Shangshu—everyone in the Ministry of Industry who has never attended a palace banquet thinks so—Zhang Yi's life will be difficult up.

Although he and Shen Yue developed high-strength steel and learned how to make springs and other things, there was no one in the Ministry of Industry who could replace him for a while, and he was still in charge of the manufacturing department, but he was called around by the Shangguan every day How aggrieved and aggrieved the days are.

However, Zhang Yi also heard that Master Xiao Shen himself was having a hard time. Not only was he excluded from the Ministry of Industry, but he was also unable to accommodate him in his own family, and they were all kicked out of the house.So Zhang Yi chose to endure. He didn't go to Shen Yue to talk about his grievances, but insisted on forbearance in the Ministry of Industry.He felt that there would be a day when Mr. Xiao Shen would return to the Ministry of Industry, and there would be a day when he would return to the testing ground with him.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao Shen really hurt the Ministry of Industry. If he tried new things, he would rather go to the Construction Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs than come to the Ministry of Industry.Then what is he doing in the Ministry of Industry?Speaking of my family, I have been working as low-level officials for several generations. It was not until my own generation that I was promoted to the sixth rank.

So Zhang Yi went to the door directly after Master Shangshu came down to court, with only one central idea: he wanted to resign from office.

Gu Shang wrote like water: "Your family has worked for the Ministry of Industry for several generations, why do you want to resign?"

Zhang Yi said calmly: "I have been working for several years, but I still find that there is too much difference between studying and not studying. I have been too late in my life, so I want to resign and go home to supervise my son to study. In the future, I will also have a good family background." , so as not to make people look down on you if you do something like an official like this."

People who are about to resign from office, the words they say will not be very pleasant, Gu Shangshu's already gloomy face is even more ugly: "Master Xiao Shen has just left, and only you can stand up to the manufacturing department. If you don't Do it, who will do the things in the manufacturing department?"

Zhang Yi was still so calm: "The adults in the department are all well-educated people, and they also pay attention to drawing inferences from one instance to learn from the other. Presumably, no matter which adult goes to the manufacturing department, he will be able to do it in a few days."

These words were ridiculed by some Jinshi-born people in the Ministry of Industry, and now he said them lightly, which made people feel hot.Before Gu Shangshu could think of a way to keep him, there was a burst of laughter in the room.When Zhang Yi entered the room, he only dared to lower his head and talk, how could he have thought that there were other people in the room?All of a sudden, he looked at the smiling person with some helplessness.

He was very young, but Zhang Yi knelt down directly: This is the son of the dragon.If I want to resign from office, I can say a few hard words in front of Gu Shangshu without any reason, but if someone is a prince, a prince who can overthrow his family with one sentence!

The person who laughed was naturally the Seventh Prince. After he came to the Ministry of Industry, Gu Shangshu didn't think of trying to win over the Second Prince. Who knew that the Seventh Prince accepted death. He also felt that Shen Yue agreed to go to the Imperial Academy because he was in the Imperial Academy. The Ministry of Industry has been made things difficult, and it must be Gu Shangshu, who has a higher official position than him, who made things difficult for him!Therefore, the Seventh Prince, who already regarded Shen Yue as his teacher in his heart, turned a blind eye to Gu Shangshu's overtures, and would never let them go when they disagreed.

After hearing Zhang Yi's words, the Seventh Prince smiled so disregarding Gu Shangshu's face.He heard about Zhang Yi from Shen Yue, and knew that he was Shen Yue's right-hand man when he was in the Ministry of Industry.Gu Shangshu spoke so well during the palace banquet that he was reluctant to let Shen Yue leave the Ministry of Industry.But as soon as he left, his assistants could not accommodate him. When he was about to leave, he realized that the manufacturing department might not be able to work. Shouldn't he be laughing?

After the Seventh Prince had laughed enough, he realized that Zhang Yi had already knelt on the ground, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Yi to get up quickly.This is also a capable person, the Seventh Prince likes capable people now, even if he has a little temper.

"You want to resign and not do it, but you are still so young. Isn't it a bit condescending to just take care of your children at home? Don't you want to do something else?" The seventh prince spoke to Zhang Yi very pleasantly, as if Gu Shangshu must Will agree with Zhang Yi's resignation.
