Chapter 415 My Husband is a Male Match (14)(1/2)
After meeting for the first time in Chengenhou Mansion, He Shu started to interact with the fourth prince.
He Shu tried her best to show her talents, gentleness, kindness, and reserve, but the fourth prince was always neither far nor near to her.
He Shu was secretly anxious.
She didn't know that the fourth prince had met her in advance, and she didn't know that he already knew that she was having an affair with Zhou Jin, who was married.
She only knew that the fourth prince was her best choice.
However, when it comes to relationships, if there is no vicious female partner who jumps out to disrupt the situation, and both men and women are reserved, it is really difficult to heat up quickly.
After all, the existence of a role like a female supporting role is to promote the plot and serve as a stepping stone for the heroine.
He Tiantian: ...Sorry, I am not interested in this.
Without the vicious villain "He Tan" to assist him, the matter between He Shu and the fourth prince was actually at a stalemate.
The fourth prince indeed agreed with the queen's words and felt that He Shu was a good candidate for his concubine.
But, he doesn’t have to be He Shu.
There are countless noble families in the court, and there are also many girls of the right age in the family.
As a prince, the fourth prince only has the quota of two concubines.
He didn't want to waste it easily before he was sure that He Shu had sufficient value.
The fourth prince's attitude was ambiguous and he treated He Shu as if he were away from her.
He was not in a hurry, but He Shu was a little anxious.
Firstly, she is older, and secondly, Mrs. Ma is eager to help her look after her...she can't afford to delay her.
He Shu was a smart woman. She had contact with the fourth prince twice and felt his coldness, so she vaguely guessed the reason.
She must show her abilities to the fourth prince.
As a time-traveling woman, He Shu possesses a lot of knowledge that transcends this time and space.
She carefully studied the current situation of the fourth prince——
The Queen's adopted son has the support of the Cheng'enhou Mansion.
She married the eldest daughter of her hometown, and also had a daughter of a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette as her concubine.
On the civil servants' side, the fourth prince had some influence.
The fourth prince founded the palace early and worked as an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He had several royal merchants under his name.
Therefore, the fourth prince is not short of money.
He Shu silently crossed out glass-making, soap-making and other money-making projects.
What the fourth prince lacks most now is probably the support of the military bosses and prestige in the court.
The emperor doted on the two princes born to his concubine, and he also valued the prince who was left behind by the Yuan Dynasty.
Although these three people are not outstanding, they are not useless either.
If the fourth prince wants to stand out among the older and favored princes, he must have solid political achievements.
Political achievements?
He Shu thought hard.
How about getting the cowpox out?!
This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. The fourth prince's "contribution" will definitely make the emperor and courtiers look at him with new eyes.
He Shu's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's get cowpox!"
In fact, setting up an ocean-going fleet to bring back sweet potatoes, corn, etc. is also a political achievement worthy of being remembered in history.
However, He Shu had no money and no one, a boudoir girl who didn't even have a father or brother. She really couldn't get it!
Of course, He Shu, a modern ordinary college student who had never studied medicine, didn't understand much about cowpox.
But she has read countless time-travel novels.
Especially in the Qing Dynasty, eight out of ten people invented cowpox.
Some authors who are more textual will write the experimental process of cowpox in more detail.
After reading more, He Shu naturally understood the key.
Besides, there is a doctor, right?
Traveling to the Dayuan Dynasty, He Shu understood a truth: Never underestimate the wisdom and talents of the ancients.
As long as you give them an inspiration, they might be able to create a miracle!
He Shu thought for a few days and finally made a decision.
But, the problem comes again!
Even experimenting with cowpox requires manpower and financial resources.
He Shu did have some money.
Mrs. Tai took pity on her for losing her father in her early years, and Ma was not a fussy person, so in addition to the normal allowance, He Shu also had some subsidies.
Added up every month, there are actually ten taels of silver.
The eldest lady's natal family has an average family background, but as a former marquis, He Jing also has some private property.
After He Jing passed away, Mrs. Tai made the decision and transferred all the private property to the name of Mrs. He Shu.
It's just that in the past, when He Shu was young, those properties were all taken care of by eldest ladies.
The eldest lady feels sorry for her daughter and will help her out from time to time.
There are also some gifts from He Jing and red envelopes received during the Chinese New Year.
Adding up various inputs, He Shu also had two to three thousand silver in savings in her small treasury.
This amount of money is probably a wealth that is difficult for ordinary people to earn in a lifetime.
But for wealthy people, it is nothing.
He Shu wanted to use this money to conduct experiments, but it was far from enough.
Money is not the most important thing, the key is trustworthy and capable people!
He Shu, a girl in a boudoir, had to report back to her second aunt, the mistress of the house, if she wanted to go out.
She doesn't have time to recruit her subordinates.
There are only a few maids and women, but they cannot guarantee complete loyalty.
No one else is needed, even if the eldest lady wants to know about her daughter’s situation, those maids and women will report the truth truthfully!
He Shu:……
In ancient times, it was really not easy for women.
Fortunately, He Shu was not completely helpless.
"Tiantian! Tiantian! Your good sister asked your man for help again!"
Little D’s classmate has opened up God’s perspective, which is comparable to the almighty eye of the sky.
As soon as He Shu asked the little maid to deliver a letter to Zhou Jin, she rushed over to report to He Tiantian.
"Little D, pay attention to your wording! He Shu is not my good sister, at most she is just a cheap relative!"
"Second, Zhou Jin is not my man! Hehe, it's been more than a month since we got married, and we still haven't consummated the marriage——"
Well, okay, Zhou Jin can't be entirely blamed for not consummating the marriage.
On the second night of their wedding, Zhou Jin reluctantly came to coax He Tiantian with the thought of "heroic sacrifice".
He Tiantian:...I am so curious!
She has done more than a dozen missions, and her consistent goal is not to tear down the cp or steal the male lead.
He Tiantian has never coveted a male protagonist who is both talented and beautiful, and has a very upright outlook on life, let alone a scumbag who is both upright and upright.
Zhou Jin felt aggrieved by consummating the marriage with "He Tian", but He Tiantian also found Zhou Jin disgusting.
Since you don’t want to be a real couple, just don’t do it!
He Tiantian deliberately looked aggrieved, and said to Zhou Jin angrily like a child: "When did you really have a crush on me? Let's consummate the marriage!"
You are thinking about Bai Yueguang, but you still have children with your nominal wife?!
Zhou Jin, you are so capable, why don’t you go to heaven!
Zhou Jin was not willing to touch "He Tian", so he finally gave in, but He Tiantian got angry.
Zhou Jin suddenly became angry from embarrassment.
He also got into a fight with He Tiantian: Okay, if you don’t consummate the marriage, you won’t consummate it. You really think I’m a stranger!
As a result, this couple looked affectionate and sweet in front of others, but in fact there was no skin-to-skin contact.
To be continued...
