[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade
Chapter 127
Daiyu's bright eyes seemed to see through Shen Yue, thinking that she hadn't given him pocket money, and wanted to know where he spent all his money on weekdays.
Did you have a romantic relationship with others, did you sing with other people's poems and paintings, did you have a look at other people's eyes, did you... Didn't you say that men make money for women, do you have no money to give? Others spend it, so you feel ashamed?
The more she thought about it, the more Daiyu's heart shrank together, so small, so tight, so helpless.Tears, crystal clear tears, dripped down Ruyu's face, but her eyes still insisted on looking at Shen Yue, wanting to listen to him give her the final answer.
Shen Yue kept his head down, thinking about where he spent his pocket money in the past, so that he could reimburse Daiyu.But Daiyu didn't say a word for a long time after she finished speaking, totally different from her usual eloquent style, so she couldn't help but look up.
It was this glance that made him find that Daiyu was sobbing speechlessly, and that even with tears in his eyes, Daiyu was still looking at him, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her: "What's the matter, why are you crying? Who has wronged the Prince's Mansion?"
Daiyu just kept shaking her head, the tears flowed faster and faster because of shaking her head, and she turned her face away, and after a while she suppressed her sobs and asked, "Where did all your money go?" Did you go to those places?
It turned out that it was because of this. Shen Yue felt that Daiyu suspected that she had really saved money from her private house, so she really had a reason to be angry. While putting the person half-supported and half-carried on the bed, Shen Yue kept explaining: "No, those money are mine. No extravagance, just buy you some of my gadgets on weekdays, do the math, do the math yourself, am I not able to save my private money?"
Daiyu was still struggling at first, but after listening to Shen Yue's incoherent explanation, she gradually calmed down: "You want to save money from your private house?" You didn't say it yourself, if you want to spend money, you will tell yourself, why do you want to save money from your private house?
Shen Yue didn't know that the girl's thoughts had diverged to such an extent, and said angrily and amusedly: "I eat at home on weekdays, and you send people to you for whatever you use, what are you doing with your private money?"
It was only then that Daiyu realized that her concern was chaotic, and her heart was all on Shen Yue, and Shen Yue had been doting on her since she was a child. She was afraid that Shen Yue would have other thoughts, so what should she do?The little face gradually turned red, thinking arrogantly in his heart that if you are ruthless, I will rest, but the little hand honestly grabbed Shen Yue's wrist and refused to relax.
Shen Yue let her rely on him, and in order to make her more comfortable, he sat gently beside her, hugged Daiyu's upper body in his arms, patted her on the back, and shook her gently As if coaxing a child, he asked coaxingly, "Okay, why did you think of asking me about my money? But your money is not enough? If it is not enough, just tell me, and I will find a way."
Daiyu felt such a slight shaking, as if she had returned to the days when she was acting like a baby to her mother when she was a child, and her mother coaxed her so lovingly.Because the number of times is too small, it is even more memorable from time to time.
She couldn't help but learned to Shen Yue what the princes and concubines said in the eldest prince's mansion, and then accused Shen Yue: "You must have followed the princes to some place you shouldn't go, and you can't get any money. The princes came home and laughed at you, and the princes and concubines came to laugh at me."
You're hitting back, don't you know?Only then did Shen Yue understand that Daiyu suspected that she had gone to a place she shouldn't be, so she was so anxious that she shed tears. She couldn't help but stop patting and coaxing Daiyu in an angry and funny way, and raised Daiyu's little head to face herself:
"Don't you know how to calculate the time? When did I go out in Xiaya, and even if I went out, I went back to the mansion to find my husband. Besides," he looked at Daiyu with a smile: "You don't want to face those women, just rely on Will my three melons and two dates be willing to accompany me?"
Daiyu was a little anxious again: "You have become Cong Sipin at such a young age, who wouldn't boast that you are young and promising? I heard that there are quite a few... who would rather give money back." After talking about it, I also knew that it should not be her Said, the voice is getting lower and lower.
This is the difference between those who have been married and those who have not.If Daiyu was unmarried, those ladies would never say such things again.It is estimated that it was a grieving woman from some family who said all these things in Daiyu's ear, which made her worry.
Shen Yue patted her lightly: "You are talking nonsense, let me tell my wife to punish you. Do you think your husband is Liu Sanbian who wrote lyrics according to the order? There are still people who are willing to post back, and if they want to post back to me, they have to follow. Even if you treat me like a treasure, others still think I'm boring."
Daiyu made him chuckle as he said it: "Even if it's not a treasure, it's still considered rare." After speaking, she also became ashamed, and buried her head in Shen Yue's arms.
Shen Yue's heart fluttered when he heard it, and he leaned into Daiyu's ear and asked her: "It's so rare, are you willing to give it up?" Angrily, Daiyu beat him, but she couldn't match his strength, so she could only let it go. He is in the dark.
Even if Daiyu had to pay half of the ceremony, Shen Yue still wasn't going to let the princes go.What kind of people are they? I obviously only asked them a question, and I answered it if I could answer it. If I can’t answer it, I don’t need to go home and tell my wife?It's over if you whispered to your wife, and you thought you kindly asked your wife to persuade Daiyu, how much effort did you spend to coax her?
But it would be nice if they persuaded them a few more times?
As soon as Shen Yue thought about it, he quickly put away his thoughts and ordered the princes to come to the Imperial Academy as soon as possible - after the eldest prince came down to court, he often had to serve the present in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the other princes were scattered in various ministries, and their offices were all It's not as spacious as Shen Yue's side, which monopolizes the first courtyard of the Hanlin Academy, so it's convenient to invite him to his side.
The princes all knew about the concubines persuading Daiyu yesterday, and they thought that Shen Yue took the initiative to invite him to come because he must thank him for sharing his worries, and they came very quickly.One by one, they came in and looked at Shen Yue's complexion first. His face was full of satisfaction, so did the persuasion of the princes and concubines have an effect?
So the princes also smiled and sat down on the upper seat specially reserved by Shen Yue, and they were very reserved and didn't take the initiative to mention yesterday's incident to Shen Yue-a big man needs to be persuaded by outsiders to get more money from his wife. It's not a glorious thing to get some money. They are more considerate and don't rub salt in people's wounds.
"Princes, please have tea." Shen Yue invited tea with a smile.The princes also responded with kind smiles, thinking that this tea must be good tea, and Shen Yue must have specially prepared it to thank them.
"Pfft-"
"puff--"
A few sounds of spitting water sounded in the room. The princes looked at the cup in front of them, and looked at Shen Yue in disbelief. What kind of tea is this? Why is it so bitter? There is also a sour taste mixed in it, two flavors There is sweetness in it, and the combination of several flavors makes them almost spit out their breakfast.
Shen Yue looked at the princes with a puzzled expression: "This is the new tea brought to me by the south. I feel that the taste is unique when I drink it. Why, are the princes not used to drinking it?" After speaking, he took a sip, even I also thought about it: "I think it's okay."
Good shit.Even if it was locked up in a correctional institution, it would be strange if the princes trusted Shen Yue.They all stared at Shen Yue's cup with unkind eyes. The cup of tea was placed in front of Shen Yue as soon as they entered the room, and it must be different from the one they drank.
The eldest prince thought of a possibility, and asked tentatively, "Your sister returned home yesterday, but was she angry?"
"No, no," Shen Yue said with a calm expression on his face, "She said that she had a great time chatting with the imperial wives, which was very good. She also said that during the Chinese New Year, she would invite the imperial wives to the house to have a lively and lively time. Post next day."
Seeing that his tone was no different from that of the past, the eldest prince felt that he was overthinking, and asked again: "Then what did you ask us to do today?"
Shen Yue couldn't help but smiled slightly: "Naturally, we are discussing business matters."
Business?The princes were all moved in their hearts, they didn't care to pursue the taste of the tea, they all asked Shen Yue what good idea he came up with.
It's useless for them to wait, Shen Yue has already expressed his plan: "Next year is the year of the Dabi, and Qiu Wei is less than ten months away. Some projects still have to go, so we have to act quickly."
The eldest prince nodded, but he didn't know how to act.
When Shen Yue told what the princes were going to do one by one, the princes wanted to scold their mothers: Do you know if the Chinese New Year is coming, not to mention that they have to keep an eye on all the ministries, even the income of their own mansion has to be settled. If you don't do it yourself, you have to listen to the report of this account, right?At the end of the year, as princes, can they have fewer banquets, or can they not participate in the palace banquet, or can they not worship in the ancestral hall?
Shen Yue distributed the matter, but he himself looked relaxed: "Next year, will the printing house have to ask the Ministry of Accounts to pay for it, and can the sage distribute the money for you so that all the ladies will follow the glory? It's all in one fell swoop. Please do your best.”
Ya bah!The princes are all in the heart of Shen Yue's villain, we try our best to do it, why didn't you hear what you are going to do?
Outsiders don't know how Shen Yue squeezed the princes, they only know that except for the eldest prince and the second prince who look normal, the rest of the princes are crazy.They didn't care how the new year passed in their own mansion, and all the banquets they could not attend were postponed. They also arrested the young men from the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College, and worked overtime until late at night every day.
In fact, the second prince also wants to go crazy with his brothers.Obviously he was the one who was driven back to study in the upper study, why, apart from the eldest brother, those brothers all went to the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Supervision, and some even went to the palace library.Are you trying to force someone to death?
It was the end of the new year, and only the second prince was studying in the study, so the bachelors deliberately relaxed his homework.But let the brothers compare, the second prince has to work overtime to study, even if one day he knows the enthusiasm of the brothers, he will feel that he is not as good at studying as the brothers who are already on a job, and even more so. Do not allow yourself to return to court to listen to politics.
Today, I also feel that my sons are too eager to learn. Even when they were still studying in the study, I have never seen them work so hard.It is not good to ask them face to face, fearing that it will dampen their enthusiasm for study, so I have to dispatch the hidden guards to see why the princes suddenly study so hard.
The result surprised today: the third prince brought the seventh prince, what are they compiling three hundred thousand and four books and five classics? Grabbing the Guozijian sacrificial wine together, we compiled a compilation of excellent scrolls in the five years of autumn in various places.
What does his son want to do? !Now I had no choice but to call the eldest prince who didn't get along with the younger brothers and ask him what was going on.Unexpectedly, the First Prince also had a tired look on his face: "Son, to make a long story short, I have to go back and check the status of their compilations. I have to start work after the fifteenth day."
Bah, you are a prince, what did you say to the emperor who summoned you? To make a long story short, who gave you the courage?Looking at the eldest son with eyes like knives now, did I give him some face and make him dare to speak to me like this?
The eldest prince had to wait until today's air-conditioning suddenly came out, only to realize that he had talked smoothly with those brothers, and dared to use the same tone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and quickly apologized to the present, and then told Shen Yue's big money-making plan.
Now he is silent after hearing this, why does he feel that his son seems to have been cheated by Shen Yue again?In the past, at this time, not only did the princes try their best to show their presence in front of themselves and show their filial piety, even their mothers and concubines also spoke good words for their sons from time to time, hoping to make themselves value their sons more.
None this year.His sons no longer cared about gaining his own favor, they only wanted to earn more money next year.Of course, they want to make more money to make themselves happy, but why do they suddenly feel a little lost?
Today, I feel that I should call Lin Ruhai to ask, if I have also let Shen Yueshun get in the way?
Lin Ruhai naturally has to tell the present, you think too much, no matter how much courage Shen Yue has, he will not dare to bully the princes, let alone you, the ninth-five-year-old.In fact, Shen Yue was really thinking about the people studying in the imperial examinations all over the world, and wanted them to get the compilation that the princes were compiling as soon as possible, so that they could study it as soon as possible and get better results in the imperial examinations.At that time, the level of the students has generally improved, and the level of Jinshi will also rise, which is also beneficial to Yu Guo.
Today, I know why Shen Yue can always tell a set of truths - with such a gentleman who has been influenced by his ears and eyes every day, will Yuan'er be able to tidy up all the courtiers in the future to be convinced?Now there is a glimmer of hope in my heart.
And Daiyu was shocked!
It's not that she hasn't seen the world, it's because from the eldest concubine and the third, fourth, and fifth concubines, to their mother-in-laws in the palace, they are too warm, thoughtful, and unbearable:
Each prefecture has its own routines for festival exchanges, and everyone generally adds or subtracts according to the previous year's ratio, and then compares the situation of exchanges in the past year.Because of Empress Daiyu's status as the adopted daughter, all the prince's residences also sent New Year's gifts to Shen's residence early.
But for some reason in the past few days, the princes and concubines who had already given an annual gift, coincidentally sent another heavy annual gift to Shen's residence, and the reason for using it was to reward their younger sister.And the biological mothers of the princes in the palace also gave things to Daiyu to enjoy.
Who rewards servants with century-old mountain ginseng or inner-made brocade?Daiyu was shocked, so she had to ask Fang Shi for advice, but Fang Shi herself was also worried: Although the gift was for Daiyu, it was the gate of Shen's residence, should she return the gift?
It wasn't until Shen Yue went down to the office that this question was answered.Shen Yue announced domineeringly to his mother and daughter-in-law that there was no need to return the gift, as Daiyu deserved it.Fang was puzzled, Daiyu vaguely thought that it might have something to do with her selfish pursuit of asking Shen Yue that day, but she didn't dare to ask Shen Yue again - the madness of that night was really too much for Daiyu, if she asked, Brother Ai, what should I do if I show off again?
But Shen Yue knew that these princes and concubines were sincerely thanking Daiyu, or thanking him.I can't help but thank you, the princes are so busy that they don't even go home, so the income account of the mansion has to be sent to the princes and concubines?
It turns out that there are so many incomes in my own mansion, no wonder His Highness would make jewelry and cut new clothes for those goblins from time to time, and the envoy fees sent to the inner house in his hands were less than [-]% of the income!
The princes and concubines who originally thought that their husbands were quite generous, now that they can figure out the family background of their own mansion, they know that they don't need dowry to subsidize the expenses of the mansion at all.
Hmph, I plan to live every day and turn myself into a yellow-faced woman, but those goblins are using their own subsidies to seduce His Highness every day.His Highness still complained to himself about difficulties every day. He was thinking about the unity of husband and wife, so he willingly took out the proceeds from the dowry to subsidize the mansion, but did he become one with him?
In the future, go dreaming!Don't you know how to leave money to your own flesh and blood?
For the money saved for his own flesh and blood in the next few decades, this annual gift to the Shen family should be given back again!What's more, if the brother-in-law—they are so grateful to Shen Yue for being such a cheap brother-in-law—come up with such a good idea at the end of every year, wouldn't the income of the mansion be kept in their own hands all the time?The princes and concubines have more expectations in their hearts.
Therefore, this year's gift should be given again, and it should be given generously, until the brother-in-law is satisfied!
Unaware that the princes in their mansion were about to change, they were still busy with the compilation day and night, so Shen Yue found a way to make money.He spread the word through Zhang Yi that he could inscribe plaques for people, but he could not inscribe more than three.
Since Grand Master Shen's posthumous works came out, who doesn't know that Xiao Shen Hanlin's calligraphy is superb?The ones printed on the book alone can be used as copybooks, and there are countless people who want to get his own inscriptions.
However, Shen Yue never gave inscriptions to people. First of all, he was the one who wrote the imperial decree, so whoever wanted to ask for that inscription could inscribe it?Secondly, it was because those who dared to ask him to write an inscription were either elders or those with a much higher official position than him, and the inscription was for nothing, so why bother with that pen and ink.
But the target of Zhang Yi's message is different. Don't forget that Zhang Yi came from a family of pen post style.The so-called things gather together and people are divided into groups, and those who communicate with the Zhang family are also families with pens and notes, or families with some wealth, but no family who are the sons of officials.
Such a family, not to mention the money, it's better to be arty!
In the end, Shen Yue's three inscriptions did not add up to 3000 characters, yet he got [-] taels of silver.Shen Yue directly exchanged the silver for five eight-treasure golden hairpins, and honestly handed them all over to Daiyu.
"Where did brother Ai get the money?" This was the first sentence Daiyu asked, and the second sentence was an affirmative sentence: "You really hid your private house."
Shen Yue couldn't help it, so he had no choice but to tell how he asked the princes for the money because he had no money to buy the gift for Daiyu.Now Daiyu thought everything through: "Brother Ai, if you have a salary next year, you should keep it for yourself."
Shen Yue thought she was still angry, so he quickly waved his hands in fright: "Why bother, I want to use silver, and then I will inscribe it on someone."
Daiyu shook her head lightly: "Even if brother Ai is not a word of gold, the word shouldn't be everywhere."
Shen Yue thought that Daiyu was noble, and he didn't want to exchange words for money by himself, so he explained to her: "This is the same as your manuscript fee."
Daiyu still shook her head: "Brother Ai's handwriting can be used to write down the will, and of course it can also be used to inscribe plaques for others. But now Brother Ai's handwriting is so precious because he refuses to mention it lightly. If one day there are brother Ai's writing everywhere If there is a person with bad conduct, he inscribes the words through Brother Ai, intending to make people think that Brother Ai is close to him, so he will do things that bully others, Brother Ai can still Are you going to tell them apart one by one?"
Why didn't I think of this?Shen Yue patted his forehead annoyedly: "It's all because of money. Then next year I will receive my own salary. Thanks to your thoughtful thinking, you won't be lightly questioned in the future." After speaking, he smiled and turned to Daiyu said: "The salary is on me, you really don't worry that I will do bad things with the money?"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Daiyu with good eyes, wishing that she would say the word "worry" so that he could take the opportunity to "teach" her a lesson.Unexpectedly, Daiyu smiled and said, "I have always believed in my brother." The radiant jade face and rolling eyes dazzled Shen Yue's eyes, forgetting that he wanted to teach Daiyu a lesson, and replaced it with his body. Thanks a lot.
Daiyu got the gold hairpin from Shen Yue, and went to the palace the next day to honor the empress and queen dowager, and received rewards from the two palaces, and returned home with a full load.But she also brought the queen's message to Shen Yue, which meant that the saint was about to close his pen, should the princes also rest?
The queen begged for mercy, and Shen Yue stopped persecuting the princes.But when those brothers reached their full potential, Shen Yue wanted to stop but couldn't, so he silently supported the princes mentally.
Let the princes think that they seem to have not cared about Brother Xun and Brother Wen for some days, so they asked people to call all their brothers to the study to test their knowledge on behalf of Shen Ren.
Brother Xun was fourteen this year, and Brother Wen was twelve, and the two little meatballs of the past had grown into young teenagers without knowing it.It was also the end of the new year, and the two returned to their homes from the scholar's mansion, but because they asked their brother for Qiu Wei next year, the two only studied in their own yard every day and didn't go out much. Shen Yue wanted to see these two people, You have to ask.
"You still think you've forgotten that you have a brother like me." Brother Xun complained as soon as they met, but Brother Wen just smiled honestly and didn't speak.
"You wish I could forget about it." Shen Yue also felt a little helpless towards this younger brother who had been clinging to him since he was a child.After waiting for the school examination and feeling that the two of them had solid homework, Shen Yue asked the two of them what they wanted for the New Year.
Brother Xun then said to Shen Yue with a smirk on his face: "In addition to Shiwen, I also write poems sometimes, and I think it's worth reading. Can brother print it for me?"
Did you have a romantic relationship with others, did you sing with other people's poems and paintings, did you have a look at other people's eyes, did you... Didn't you say that men make money for women, do you have no money to give? Others spend it, so you feel ashamed?
The more she thought about it, the more Daiyu's heart shrank together, so small, so tight, so helpless.Tears, crystal clear tears, dripped down Ruyu's face, but her eyes still insisted on looking at Shen Yue, wanting to listen to him give her the final answer.
Shen Yue kept his head down, thinking about where he spent his pocket money in the past, so that he could reimburse Daiyu.But Daiyu didn't say a word for a long time after she finished speaking, totally different from her usual eloquent style, so she couldn't help but look up.
It was this glance that made him find that Daiyu was sobbing speechlessly, and that even with tears in his eyes, Daiyu was still looking at him, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her: "What's the matter, why are you crying? Who has wronged the Prince's Mansion?"
Daiyu just kept shaking her head, the tears flowed faster and faster because of shaking her head, and she turned her face away, and after a while she suppressed her sobs and asked, "Where did all your money go?" Did you go to those places?
It turned out that it was because of this. Shen Yue felt that Daiyu suspected that she had really saved money from her private house, so she really had a reason to be angry. While putting the person half-supported and half-carried on the bed, Shen Yue kept explaining: "No, those money are mine. No extravagance, just buy you some of my gadgets on weekdays, do the math, do the math yourself, am I not able to save my private money?"
Daiyu was still struggling at first, but after listening to Shen Yue's incoherent explanation, she gradually calmed down: "You want to save money from your private house?" You didn't say it yourself, if you want to spend money, you will tell yourself, why do you want to save money from your private house?
Shen Yue didn't know that the girl's thoughts had diverged to such an extent, and said angrily and amusedly: "I eat at home on weekdays, and you send people to you for whatever you use, what are you doing with your private money?"

She was afraid that Shen Yue would have other thoughts, so what should she do?The little face gradually turned red, thinking arrogantly in his heart that if you are ruthless, I will rest, but the little hand honestly grabbed Shen Yue's wrist and refused to relax.
Shen Yue let her rely on him, and in order to make her more comfortable, he sat gently beside her, hugged Daiyu's upper body in his arms, patted her on the back, and shook her gently As if coaxing a child, he asked coaxingly, "Okay, why did you think of asking me about my money? But your money is not enough? If it is not enough, just tell me, and I will find a way."
Daiyu felt such a slight shaking, as if she had returned to the days when she was acting like a baby to her mother when she was a child, and her mother coaxed her so lovingly.Because the number of times is too small, it is even more memorable from time to time.
She couldn't help but learned to Shen Yue what the princes and concubines said in the eldest prince's mansion, and then accused Shen Yue: "You must have followed the princes to some place you shouldn't go, and you can't get any money. The princes came home and laughed at you, and the princes and concubines came to laugh at me."
You're hitting back, don't you know?Only then did Shen Yue understand that Daiyu suspected that she had gone to a place she shouldn't be, so she was so anxious that she shed tears. She couldn't help but stop patting and coaxing Daiyu in an angry and funny way, and raised Daiyu's little head to face herself:

Shen Yue's heart fluttered when he heard it, and he leaned into Daiyu's ear and asked her: "It's so rare, are you willing to give it up?" Angrily, Daiyu beat him, but she couldn't match his strength, so she could only let it go. He is in the dark.
Even if Daiyu had to pay half of the ceremony, Shen Yue still wasn't going to let the princes go.What kind of people are they? I obviously only asked them a question, and I answered it if I could answer it. If I can’t answer it, I don’t need to go home and tell my wife?It's over if you whispered to your wife, and you thought you kindly asked your wife to persuade Daiyu, how much effort did you spend to coax her?
But it would be nice if they persuaded them a few more times?
As soon as Shen Yue thought about it, he quickly put away his thoughts and ordered the princes to come to the Imperial Academy as soon as possible - after the eldest prince came down to court, he often had to serve the present in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the other princes were scattered in various ministries, and their offices were all It's not as spacious as Shen Yue's side, which monopolizes the first courtyard of the Hanlin Academy, so it's convenient to invite him to his side.
The princes all knew about the concubines persuading Daiyu yesterday, and they thought that Shen Yue took the initiative to invite him to come because he must thank him for sharing his worries, and they came very quickly.One by one, they came in and looked at Shen Yue's complexion first.

Shen Yue couldn't help but smiled slightly: "Naturally, we are discussing business matters."
Business?The princes were all moved in their hearts, they didn't care to pursue the taste of the tea, they all asked Shen Yue what good idea he came up with.
It's useless for them to wait, Shen Yue has already expressed his plan: "Next year is the year of the Dabi, and Qiu Wei is less than ten months away. Some projects still have to go, so we have to act quickly."
The eldest prince nodded, but he didn't know how to act.
When Shen Yue told what the princes were going to do one by one, the princes wanted to scold their mothers: Do you know if the Chinese New Year is coming, not to mention that they have to keep an eye on all the ministries, even the income of their own mansion has to be settled. If you don't do it yourself, you have to listen to the report of this account, right?At the end of the year, as princes, can they have fewer banquets, or can they not participate in the palace banquet, or can they not worship in the ancestral hall?
Shen Yue distributed the matter, but he himself looked relaxed: "Next year, will the printing house have to ask the Ministry of Accounts to pay for it, and can the sage distribute the money for you so that all the ladies will follow the glory? It's all in one fell swoop. Please do your best.”
Ya bah!The princes are all in the heart of Shen Yue's villain, we try our best to do it, why didn't you hear what you are going to do?
Outsiders don't know how Shen Yue squeezed the princes, they only know that except for the eldest prince and the second prince who look normal, the rest of the princes are crazy.They didn't care how the new year passed in their own mansion, and all the banquets they could not attend were postponed. They also arrested the young men from the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College, and worked overtime until late at night every day.
In fact, the second prince also wants to go crazy with his brothers.Obviously he was the one who was driven back to study in the upper study, why, apart from the eldest brother, those brothers all went to the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Supervision, and some even went to the palace library.Are you trying to force someone to death?
It was the end of the new year, and only the second prince was studying in the study, so the bachelors deliberately relaxed his homework.But let the brothers compare, the second prince has to work overtime to study, even if one day he knows the enthusiasm of the brothers, he will feel that he is not as good at studying as the brothers who are already on a job, and even more so. Do not allow yourself to return to court to listen to politics.
Today, I also feel that my sons are too eager to learn. Even when they were still studying in the study, I have never seen them work so hard.It is not good to ask them face to face, fearing that it will dampen their enthusiasm for study, so I have to dispatch the hidden guards to see why the princes suddenly study so hard.
The result surprised today: the third prince brought the seventh prince, what are they compiling three hundred thousand and four books and five classics? Grabbing the Guozijian sacrificial wine together, we compiled a compilation of excellent scrolls in the five years of autumn in various places.
What does his son want to do? !Now I had no choice but to call the eldest prince who didn't get along with the younger brothers and ask him what was going on.Unexpectedly, the First Prince also had a tired look on his face: "Son, to make a long story short, I have to go back and check the status of their compilations. I have to start work after the fifteenth day."
Bah, you are a prince, what did you say to the emperor who summoned you? To make a long story short, who gave you the courage?Looking at the eldest son with eyes like knives now, did I give him some face and make him dare to speak to me like this?
The eldest prince had to wait until today's air-conditioning suddenly came out, only to realize that he had talked smoothly with those brothers, and dared to use the same tone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and quickly apologized to the present, and then told Shen Yue's big money-making plan.
Now he is silent after hearing this, why does he feel that his son seems to have been cheated by Shen Yue again?In the past, at this time, not only did the princes try their best to show their presence in front of themselves and show their filial piety, even their mothers and concubines also spoke good words for their sons from time to time, hoping to make themselves value their sons more.
None this year.His sons no longer cared about gaining his own favor, they only wanted to earn more money next year.Of course, they want to make more money to make themselves happy, but why do they suddenly feel a little lost?
Today, I feel that I should call Lin Ruhai to ask, if I have also let Shen Yueshun get in the way?
Lin Ruhai naturally has to tell the present, you think too much, no matter how much courage Shen Yue has, he will not dare to bully the princes, let alone you, the ninth-five-year-old.In fact, Shen Yue was really thinking about the people studying in the imperial examinations all over the world, and wanted them to get the compilation that the princes were compiling as soon as possible, so that they could study it as soon as possible and get better results in the imperial examinations.At that time, the level of the students has generally improved, and the level of Jinshi will also rise, which is also beneficial to Yu Guo.
Today, I know why Shen Yue can always tell a set of truths - with such a gentleman who has been influenced by his ears and eyes every day, will Yuan'er be able to tidy up all the courtiers in the future to be convinced?Now there is a glimmer of hope in my heart.
And Daiyu was shocked!
It's not that she hasn't seen the world, it's because from the eldest concubine and the third, fourth, and fifth concubines, to their mother-in-laws in the palace, they are too warm, thoughtful, and unbearable:
Each prefecture has its own routines for festival exchanges, and everyone generally adds or subtracts according to the previous year's ratio, and then compares the situation of exchanges in the past year.Because of Empress Daiyu's status as the adopted daughter, all the prince's residences also sent New Year's gifts to Shen's residence early.
But for some reason in the past few days, the princes and concubines who had already given an annual gift, coincidentally sent another heavy annual gift to Shen's residence, and the reason for using it was to reward their younger sister.And the biological mothers of the princes in the palace also gave things to Daiyu to enjoy.
Who rewards servants with century-old mountain ginseng or inner-made brocade?Daiyu was shocked, so she had to ask Fang Shi for advice, but Fang Shi herself was also worried: Although the gift was for Daiyu, it was the gate of Shen's residence, should she return the gift?
It wasn't until Shen Yue went down to the office that this question was answered.Shen Yue announced domineeringly to his mother and daughter-in-law that there was no need to return the gift, as Daiyu deserved it.Fang was puzzled, Daiyu vaguely thought that it might have something to do with her selfish pursuit of asking Shen Yue that day, but she didn't dare to ask Shen Yue again - the madness of that night was really too much for Daiyu, if she asked, Brother Ai, what should I do if I show off again?
But Shen Yue knew that these princes and concubines were sincerely thanking Daiyu, or thanking him.I can't help but thank you, the princes are so busy that they don't even go home, so the income account of the mansion has to be sent to the princes and concubines?
It turns out that there are so many incomes in my own mansion, no wonder His Highness would make jewelry and cut new clothes for those goblins from time to time, and the envoy fees sent to the inner house in his hands were less than [-]% of the income!
The princes and concubines who originally thought that their husbands were quite generous, now that they can figure out the family background of their own mansion, they know that they don't need dowry to subsidize the expenses of the mansion at all.
Hmph, I plan to live every day and turn myself into a yellow-faced woman, but those goblins are using their own subsidies to seduce His Highness every day.His Highness still complained to himself about difficulties every day. He was thinking about the unity of husband and wife, so he willingly took out the proceeds from the dowry to subsidize the mansion, but did he become one with him?
In the future, go dreaming!Don't you know how to leave money to your own flesh and blood?
For the money saved for his own flesh and blood in the next few decades, this annual gift to the Shen family should be given back again!What's more, if the brother-in-law—they are so grateful to Shen Yue for being such a cheap brother-in-law—come up with such a good idea at the end of every year, wouldn't the income of the mansion be kept in their own hands all the time?The princes and concubines have more expectations in their hearts.
Therefore, this year's gift should be given again, and it should be given generously, until the brother-in-law is satisfied!
Unaware that the princes in their mansion were about to change, they were still busy with the compilation day and night, so Shen Yue found a way to make money.He spread the word through Zhang Yi that he could inscribe plaques for people, but he could not inscribe more than three.
Since Grand Master Shen's posthumous works came out, who doesn't know that Xiao Shen Hanlin's calligraphy is superb?The ones printed on the book alone can be used as copybooks, and there are countless people who want to get his own inscriptions.
However, Shen Yue never gave inscriptions to people. First of all, he was the one who wrote the imperial decree, so whoever wanted to ask for that inscription could inscribe it?Secondly, it was because those who dared to ask him to write an inscription were either elders or those with a much higher official position than him, and the inscription was for nothing, so why bother with that pen and ink.
But the target of Zhang Yi's message is different. Don't forget that Zhang Yi came from a family of pen post style.The so-called things gather together and people are divided into groups, and those who communicate with the Zhang family are also families with pens and notes, or families with some wealth, but no family who are the sons of officials.
Such a family, not to mention the money, it's better to be arty!
In the end, Shen Yue's three inscriptions did not add up to 3000 characters, yet he got [-] taels of silver.Shen Yue directly exchanged the silver for five eight-treasure golden hairpins, and honestly handed them all over to Daiyu.
"Where did brother Ai get the money?" This was the first sentence Daiyu asked, and the second sentence was an affirmative sentence: "You really hid your private house."
Shen Yue couldn't help it, so he had no choice but to tell how he asked the princes for the money because he had no money to buy the gift for Daiyu.Now Daiyu thought everything through: "Brother Ai, if you have a salary next year, you should keep it for yourself."
Shen Yue thought she was still angry, so he quickly waved his hands in fright: "Why bother, I want to use silver, and then I will inscribe it on someone."
Daiyu shook her head lightly: "Even if brother Ai is not a word of gold, the word shouldn't be everywhere."
Shen Yue thought that Daiyu was noble, and he didn't want to exchange words for money by himself, so he explained to her: "This is the same as your manuscript fee."
Daiyu still shook her head: "Brother Ai's handwriting can be used to write down the will, and of course it can also be used to inscribe plaques for others. But now Brother Ai's handwriting is so precious because he refuses to mention it lightly. If one day there are brother Ai's writing everywhere If there is a person with bad conduct, he inscribes the words through Brother Ai, intending to make people think that Brother Ai is close to him, so he will do things that bully others, Brother Ai can still Are you going to tell them apart one by one?"
Why didn't I think of this?Shen Yue patted his forehead annoyedly: "It's all because of money. Then next year I will receive my own salary. Thanks to your thoughtful thinking, you won't be lightly questioned in the future." After speaking, he smiled and turned to Daiyu said: "The salary is on me, you really don't worry that I will do bad things with the money?"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Daiyu with good eyes, wishing that she would say the word "worry" so that he could take the opportunity to "teach" her a lesson.Unexpectedly, Daiyu smiled and said, "I have always believed in my brother." The radiant jade face and rolling eyes dazzled Shen Yue's eyes, forgetting that he wanted to teach Daiyu a lesson, and replaced it with his body. Thanks a lot.
Daiyu got the gold hairpin from Shen Yue, and went to the palace the next day to honor the empress and queen dowager, and received rewards from the two palaces, and returned home with a full load.But she also brought the queen's message to Shen Yue, which meant that the saint was about to close his pen, should the princes also rest?
The queen begged for mercy, and Shen Yue stopped persecuting the princes.But when those brothers reached their full potential, Shen Yue wanted to stop but couldn't, so he silently supported the princes mentally.
Let the princes think that they seem to have not cared about Brother Xun and Brother Wen for some days, so they asked people to call all their brothers to the study to test their knowledge on behalf of Shen Ren.
Brother Xun was fourteen this year, and Brother Wen was twelve, and the two little meatballs of the past had grown into young teenagers without knowing it.It was also the end of the new year, and the two returned to their homes from the scholar's mansion, but because they asked their brother for Qiu Wei next year, the two only studied in their own yard every day and didn't go out much. Shen Yue wanted to see these two people, You have to ask.
"You still think you've forgotten that you have a brother like me." Brother Xun complained as soon as they met, but Brother Wen just smiled honestly and didn't speak.
"You wish I could forget about it." Shen Yue also felt a little helpless towards this younger brother who had been clinging to him since he was a child.After waiting for the school examination and feeling that the two of them had solid homework, Shen Yue asked the two of them what they wanted for the New Year.
Brother Xun then said to Shen Yue with a smirk on his face: "In addition to Shiwen, I also write poems sometimes, and I think it's worth reading. Can brother print it for me?"
