Chapter 129 Early Marriage
Shen Qiujun waited for the Sixth Prince to laugh enough, and then slowly said: "Since he wants to achieve great things, how can he not get enough money and power? Their little family wealth only relies on their salary and the production of the land, how can they have so much money?" , this is also a shortcut. Let me tell you, you are too proud too early. Although the emperor does not plan to change the prince for the time being because of your words, as long as he does not take up that position, the princes will not accept their fate. , the prince naturally wants to spend money to win people's hearts. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will happen to you again. I wonder if you have a way to conjure money?"
The sixth prince couldn't help frowning when he heard the words: "The emperor looks like a lively dragon now. How can he have more than ten years of life? He is a long-term warrior. In the future, money and people will be a big deal. Although the Tian family is very rich, it is a pity that it was given to Chen There are many kings, and most of them have been hidden. Although it is quite rich now, I am afraid that it will not be enough to support it for so many years."
Shen Qiujun smiled and said: "If you want to fight for the throne, that's it. The Tian family is willing to devote everything to help the prince?"
"Of course I do, because I told them that I am not strong enough now, so I can only rely on the prince first, and then make plans later, and they still praised my idea."
Shen Qiujun secretly sighed: The Tian family really values family ties more than interests. The sixth prince has really rebelled against the prince. I'm afraid he is also a capricious villain in historical facts.
She thought for a while and said worriedly: "You just said it, aren't you afraid that they will expose it in front of the prince in the future? Be careful when the time comes, you will lose your wife and lose your troops."
The Six Emperors sneered: "You underestimate me too much. What would I say if I couldn't control them? Besides, the treasures in my hands are more than their wealth. I don't have any soldiers in my hands. How can the prince trust me more?" .”
"So, if the prince runs out of money, are you going to give up the treasure?"
Hearing this, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but look at Shen Qiujun, thought for a moment, and said vaguely: "Of course not, the prince is not worthy of my treatment."
Shen Qiujun said: "So don't laugh at the fifty steps and laugh at the hundred steps. A penny can stump a heroic man. It is ridiculous for a wise king to exchange his body for capital. But he can get a large sum of money. What can you do?"
The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "It's not that there is no other way. For example, you can collude with officials and businessmen, you can exploit the people, and there are many ways to get money. Anyway, this world is not my world, and I can cut it into pieces. I I don’t feel bad either!”
Shen Qiujun said angrily: "This is your method. It's better to sell yourself as a wise king. At least in the eyes of the people of the world, he is still a wise man and has a good reputation. With your method, it's strange that the world doesn't hate you." , in the future the prince will accomplish something big. It’s just the right time to take action on you to arouse the anger of the people."
"I'm not that stupid, so I will naturally keep a backup plan. Besides, when the crown prince's affairs are completed, I will retire and no longer mind my own business. He can still find me out again." The sixth prince said disapprovingly, and when he saw Mr. Shen Qiu He was still worried. He felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll act by ear. If it doesn't work out, I'll just ask the prince to sell himself. It's worth more than the prince. 60,000 yuan should be enough."
Shen Qiujun was amused by the Sixth Prince's words and said at a loss for words: "Then what is the net worth of His Highness the Sixth Prince?"
The Sixth Prince said sternly: "I'm not as mean as them. If I want power and status, if I have the ability, I can get it myself. If I don't have the ability, I can hide in the cold and rely on women to achieve something. What's the point of my ability? Isn't it just a transaction of power and money? To put it bluntly, It's still for the sake of wealth and wealth, so let's clearly mark the price. How much money can you help me, how many soldiers can you help me, and when it's done, I will give you an official of whatever size you want. Now that everyone has made it clear, you can do whatever you have to do. , and they have to be secretive, as if they are really doing it for a little bit of favor, and they are not disgusting."
Shen Qiujun couldn't help being stunned, and said for a long time: "It's not easy to write down a written document in black and white for this kind of thing, and send someone there. It also means a hostage or a voucher."
The Sixth Prince sneered and said: "So they are despicable. When people say they are sending someone, they don't care whether they are ugly, handsome, fat or thin. He just follows it up quickly. He doesn't take himself seriously. It's a good thing he is a prince, and his oiran wife is still here." You can choose your guests based on your own wishes."
Shen Qiujun couldn't help but spat: "Bah, if you don't learn well at a young age, you are not an oiran!"
The Sixth Prince hurriedly smiled and said: "It was my fault. I shouldn't have said those things to taint Sister Yu's ears. It was just that the prince went to find something new a few days ago. How could I do that to myself? Sister Yu, just don't worry, When I went there, Yang Yuan and the others were all around. Anyone who dared to come forward would be kicked away. If you don’t believe me, you’ll know after you call them in and ask."
Shen Qiujun muttered: "What am I worried about?" Even so, there was a smile on his face.
Besides, Li Yaoqin was shocked when she learned that the wise king had taken concubines. In his previous life, the Wen family only entered the palace next year.
Shen Qiujun even had a big quarrel with the Xian Wang over this. Later, he may have lost heart and began to pay attention to money matters. He plundered all the Wen family's dowry. The concubines who came in later did the same thing, and even The expenses in the house have begun to be severely deducted.
Fortunately, he had taken refuge in the palace at that time, and she was quite polite to him. In addition, he had some ideas to make money. Before he fell in love with the wise king, the two of them were relatively peaceful.
Wen's early entry into the mansion, does it mean that the Bian family, Wang and others should also enter the mansion one after another. When the wise king is surrounded by his lovely wives and beautiful concubines, he will no longer notice him. It seems that he will miss it in this life. A wise king, Li Yaoqin couldn't help but sigh secretly.
All the ladies in the capital praised Shen Lijun: taking in such a low-status and average-looking concubine, she not only gained a good reputation, but also did not create any opponents, and also silenced her parents-in-law. No matter how you look at it, it is a good move.
Mrs. Shen has been heartbroken by her daughter, and she is too lazy to pay attention to it. Anyway, her daughter has chosen her own path. What she cares about now is what her daughter said that day. She cannot help but suspect that her mother-in-law must be slandering her in front of the younger generation, otherwise her daughter I wouldn't say that either.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly scold her mother-in-law. Why did the younger generation get involved in the fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? The younger ones are better off. The eldest son and eldest daughter were raised by her mother-in-law. Now the eldest daughter-in-law is waiting in front of the old lady. She feels pity for her. Given his age, in their eyes, he might just look like a coquettish person.
Daughters will get married sooner or later, and they will live their own lives in the future, but daughters-in-law will live together for a long time. The eldest daughter-in-law seems to have been won over by the old lady, and the younger daughter-in-law cannot be dragged away by her again. Mother-in-law But he is a talkative and scheming person.
Besides, my mother-in-law is a person who only sees power, so I don’t want to cause discord in the second son’s family.
Mrs. Shen thought of this and had an idea in her mind. She hurriedly found the imperial calendar to check it. Then she found an opportunity and ran to the temple to find a master for calculation.
Shen Qiujun only thought that her mother was counting her days for self-cultivation, and didn't care. A few days later, she heard her mother and father discussing: "It's not good for Ning'er to get married next year. It's said to be detrimental to the harmony between husband and wife. I think it's better to just let her get married next year." I mentioned that it would be good to get married this year and they are both older."
Father Shen never cared much about these little things, so he smiled and asked Shen Zhaoning, "What do you think?"
Shen Zhaoning's face turned red. If he agreed, it would be as if he was very eager. But if he didn't agree, he would have to wait another year. He could only whisper: "Everything depends on the elders."
Father Shen was rarely in the mood, so he teased his son: "This is a lifelong event for you, so I still need to listen to your opinion."
Seeing that her second brother was almost lying on the table in embarrassment, Shen Qiujun couldn't help but smile and said to her mother: "My father is really bad. My brother obviously wants to do it as soon as possible, and he keeps asking him questions."
Shen Zhaoning was teased repeatedly by his family, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "I'm done eating, let's go ahead." Then he left hungry.
Everyone in the Shen family couldn't help but burst into laughter. This could be regarded as the heartiest laugh Mrs. Shen had ever had since Shen Lijun came to the door.
Father Shen added: "It still depends on the Cheng family. I am a little rushed this year. I wonder if the time can be measured?"
Mrs. Shen said hurriedly: "There are several good days in August and early September."
When Father Shen heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "I must be in a hurry now. The weather is too hot, so it's hard for Mother and the others to rush on their way."
After hearing this, Shen Qiujun couldn't help but look at his mother.
Mrs. Shen also sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. Who knows what the situation will be like in the next year? Ning'er is also older. If we get married earlier, we can relax earlier. Besides, Ning'er is a grandchild, so we don't have to trouble the elderly." My wife will come here in person, and when they get married, she will ask everyone in the second son’s family to fulfill their filial piety in front of her.”
After hearing this, Father Shen felt that it made sense, so he said no more.
Mrs. Cheng heard that getting married next year would be detrimental to the harmony between husband and wife, so she naturally took it very seriously. These few days this year were a bit rushed, but if there were another change the year after next, not only her daughter would be older, but her son-in-law would also be older. It would be bad to have another girl around, so I had to choose a good day in September.
The Shen family also felt sorry. Since the bride price could not exceed that of the eldest son, they compared it with Shen Zhaoying's, which was only 20,000 taels, and the others were increased by 10%. Very satisfied.
The two families started to get busy with the wedding. Mrs. Shen's birthday was just an excuse that she didn't dare to have a grand celebration because there were elders around. The family just ate birthday noodles and it was over.
Everyone in the Shen family had their own gifts to give each other. Shen Lijun was too busy with work, so she was given clothes. Mrs. Shen only took one look at them and had them put away in the box at the back. She was not going to wear them; Xijun was nursing a fetus and could not make needlework, so someone gave her a pair of jade bracelets, and Shen Qiujun also gave her another set of jewelry. Mrs. Shen dressed them up on the spot. After Shen Lijun heard about it, she couldn't help but sigh.
By the end of August, everything was ready. At this time, the letter of good news sent to Lu Di finally reached the hands of Sister-in-law Shen.
