Chapter 231 Calculation ()

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Lin carefully, a series of thoughts flashed through her mind, and she said: "The princess is only eleven years old this year, so it is inevitable that she will be more willful when she is young. Maybe in three or four years, as she gets older, she will alright."

Let’s take a look and talk.

It would be a pity to give up on this marriage.

Xue Liu Niang twitched the corner of her mouth and turned her head to the side.

Grandma is still thinking about getting married... How can Xue Lin be worthy of the princess? In her opinion, although the princess is young, she is very independent and has a clear mind.

In her heart, the princess only cares about the people and Nanyang County, so she obviously doesn't care much about the marriage.

"That Chen Jinyu is sharp-tongued and lacks education."

Mrs. Xue did not dare to say anything wrong about the princess, and she directed her evil anger at Chen Jinyu: "It can be seen that the tutoring of the Chen family is really mediocre. I originally thought that I would meet Mr. Chen when I have time. Now. It seems that this is not necessary.”

Xue Lin never argued with his grandmother and remained silent.

Xue Liuniang couldn't help it anymore and turned around: "Grandma's words seem to be a bit biased. Chen Changshi is smart and capable. Even his father admired Chen Changshi when he mentioned it. Chen Sheren was raised by Chen Changshi. How could there be a lack of education? Grandma was the first to be mean today, and Chen She just responded with a few words."

Mrs. Xue became angry and glared over: "Girl, have you been deceived today? Why are you talking to them everywhere? Let me tell you, our Xue family is a scholarly family. The men study in the imperial examination and become officials, and the women are quiet, gentle and virtuous. Shude. Don’t even think about doing errands.”

Xue Liuniang lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Mrs. Xue thought that Xue Liu Niang had heard it, and her temper suddenly softened a little. She opened her mouth and said, "We have been at Baiyun Temple for a few days, and it's time to go back. Don't make it public about meeting the princess."

Xue Liuniang and Xue Qilang should be together.

……

"The princess is so majestic and domineering today!" In the backyard of the county government office, Chen Jinyu beamed: "Mrs. Xue was so angry that her face was almost green, and she had to hold it in. It was really a relief."

Jiang Shaohua smiled and glanced at Chen Jinyu: "What a pity. I originally wanted to mention your brother today, but it was inconvenient for me to mention it later."

Chen Jinyu's idea also changed quickly: "Let's forget it! Mrs. Xue has high standards and is so mean to me. She is afraid that she will despise the Chen family's family background and find fault with my eldest brother for not passing the exam. It's just a marriage proposal. , Nine times out of ten it won’t work.”

Jiang Shaohua smiled: "It all depends on people. It's not convenient for Mrs. Xue to open her mouth here. There is no harm in bringing it up when she meets Governor Xue in the future."

Chen Jinyu was deeply moved: "The princess is so kind to us brothers and sisters. I will work for the princess all my life. And my eldest brother, when he gets the title, let him work for Nanyang County."

Jiang Shaohua was amused and smiled: "Then I will make a lot of money."

Ouch ouch~
A familiar voice sounded at the door. Jiang Shaohua and Chen Jinyu turned their heads together, and a spotted cub the size of an adult cat came into view.

It is the young tiger Xiaohua.

In the past two months, Xiaohua has grown up a bit. I stopped taking milk and started feeding her some fresh meat.

"Xiaohua, come here." Jiang Shaohua smiled and waved. Xiaohua squealed again and jumped into Jiang Shaohua's arms.

Chen Jinyu was envious.

Only the princess could easily take Xiao Hua's rush into her arms. She couldn't do it anymore, so she could only reach out and touch Xiao Hua's fur while Xiao Hua was lying in the princess's arms. "Princess Princess, Chen Changshi has sent a message." Ma Yaozong stood at the door and reported.

Jiang Shaohua nodded briefly and motioned for the horse owner to come in and elaborate. Only then did Ma Yaozong step in and present the letter in his hand.

Jiang Shaohua accepted the letter and handed the little flower to Chen Jinyu.

After reading the letter, Jiang Shaohua frowned.

"Princess, what happened to the palace?" Chen Jinyu's heart couldn't help but rise to the sky.

The princess has always had a palace, and her joy and anger are invisible. With such a frown on his face, something big must have happened.

"Many counties in Dingzhou, Youzhou and Pingzhou have sent memorials to the imperial court. There has been no rain for several months, and the harvest will definitely be poor this year. They petitioned the imperial court to reduce taxes and allocate grain for relief."

"There was a lot of quarrel in the court over these memorials."

"Prime Minister Wang's party disagrees with the petition. Empress Dowager Zheng's party advocates reducing all taxes. The two factions hold different opinions and are almost quarreling."

Speaking of this, Jiang Shaohua couldn't help but sigh: "Chen Changshi sent someone to send a letter to remind me to respond earlier."

Ma Yaozong was not that familiar with court matters. Chen Jinyu had been taught by Chen Changshi for many years and was much more perceptive. She immediately took over the conversation: "Did Chen Changshi suggest that the princess write a memorial to express her attitude?"

"Yes," Jiang Shaohua said slowly: "From the moment I presented the new shaft plow to the Queen Mother, we in Nanyang County have been on the Queen Mother's side. Later, the Queen Mother also contributed to the Zuo Zhen incident. I also presented a golden Buddha to Jingyang Palace. . In the eyes of everyone, I, Jiang Shaohua, am already a member of the Queen Mother’s party.”

In the officialdom, people who are favored by everyone are just the outsiders. Jiang Shaohua chose the side of Queen Mother Zheng from the beginning. When the party struggle rose to such a high level, he had to make a political statement.

To take a step back, even from her heart, she also supports tax relief.

Chen Jinyu thought for a moment and whispered: "I understand what the princess means. I will write a memorial now."

Official documents, memorials, and other matters were all written by the ministers. The princess would revise a few things after reading them, copy them herself, and stamp them with the royal seal.

Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly: "You write the memorial. I want to write a letter to the Queen Mother."

Ma Yaozong couldn't get anything to say, so he silently laid out paper and studied ink.

After the Lushe people learned about this, they hurried over.

The princess was concentrating on writing a letter, Chen Sheren was writing a memorial, and Mashe was studying ink. This scene was very harmonious. Lu Cong didn't want to be left alone, so he stepped forward shamelessly: "I have served as the county governor for six years, and I have some experience in writing memorials to the court. I wonder if I can serve the princess?"

Chen Jinyu paused with his pen tip, raised his head, and saw Lu Sheren's face looking loyal and sincere.

Jiang Shaohua never cared about the performance of his subordinates, and nodded with a smile: "That's fine. You can also write a memorial. When the time comes, I will use whoever writes better."

Lu Cong bowed his hands in agreement, retreated consciously, and went back to his room to write a memorial.

Facts have proved that the Lushe people, who have been officials for ten years, do have a solid foundation. A memorial was written generously and with sincerity and loyalty clearly revealed between the lines.

After reading it, Jiang Shaohua couldn't help but praise: "Lu Sheren wrote better. This time I will use Lu Sheren's memorial."

Chen Jinyu was not convinced. After the princess copied it, he borrowed the manuscript and read it once, and then silently shut up.
