Chapter 421 Persuade to enter!

Continuing from the previous story, Shen Chaozong and his aunt Liu were trying to get Yuzhen to enter the palace for selection, so they asked about Yuzhen's family background, fearing that if the secret was leaked, the Shen family would be doomed!
And Routan Yuzhen, upon hearing this question, became suspicious for a moment and looked stunned!

I am afraid that my father will be held accountable for his crimes and will be brought to the Shen Mansion for investigation!
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Shen Chaozong hurriedly tried to comfort him.

"Hehehe"

"Girl wow!"

"Don't worry, it's not like that, it's not like that!"

"These days, there is chaos and war everywhere, and the imperial court is still in the midst of the war in the north!"

"Brother Zhu's stories are just old news from the previous dynasty after all!"

"Besides, when the northern capital fell, there were many people who surrendered to the enemy!"

"How can His Majesty remember all of them and correct them all?"

Shen Chaozong's words calmed Yuzhen's mind and he will continue with the rest!
"Uh"

"That's what happened!"

"That's why your Aunt Liu asked you these questions."

"We just discussed this!"

"He is a family man, relying on the power of the prefect Zhao Xiande to put pressure on my Shen family, begging and begging to facilitate this marriage!"

"The situation has gotten so bad that I'm afraid I'm in a dead end!"

"If we want to break the impasse, we must urgently find a bigger excuse to suppress him, so that we can have a chance of survival!"

"Uh, so."

"this."

"Hey, Wanyun, you should talk to Yuzhen!"

Shen Chaozong suddenly started to hesitate and stammer halfway through his speech.

I think it might be a hindrance to the affairs of the female family members. As the head of the family, it would be inappropriate for him to gossip in front of his daughters!

It felt awkward to talk about this, so I just pushed it to Liu Wanyun's face!
"what?!"

"This"

"Hi!"

"It's such a great thing, but you are so tongue-tied that you can't even speak!"

Upon hearing this, Liu also frowned, gave him a blank look, and turned her head back helplessly.

"Yuzhen!"

"Nothing else!"

"We women say!"

"Uh"

"In the past two days, the emperor has issued an edict to select a queen and concubine from the people!"

"I guess the gossiping maids and old women in the mansion have already started shouting about it, right?!" Liu Wanyun was the first to throw out the news.

Upon hearing this, Yuzhen had no choice but to keep silent and did not express much attitude.

In fact, it is easy to understand. After all, the two sisters are guests living in the Shen Mansion. No matter what, they are still outsiders. It is not appropriate for them to gossip and find fault with the people below them.

Otherwise, how can I live in the backyard in the future? !
Seeing this, Liu Wanyun did not wait any longer and continued the story.

"Hehehe"

"Even if you don't say anything, I know it!"

"No problem!"

"We understand speech!"

"Actually, what your uncle Shen and I mean is that you are gifted and have outstanding looks!"

"Thinking that the situation has come to this!"

"Why not take this as an excuse to take a big step and help you enter the palace to choose a concubine!"

"This way, we can reject the Gu family and shut their mouths!"

"It's not a waste of God's grace!"

"Yuzhen girl, think about it carefully!"

"Auntie, with my angel-like appearance, it's only a matter of time before I fly up to the tree and become a phoenix!"

"By then, won't my Shen family, your uncle Shen and I also benefit from your influence?!"

"By that time, I, your aunt, will be considered a royal relative!" "I just don't believe it. What can Zhao Xiande do to me?!"

Liu put her hands on her hips and put on a funny look, trying to make the situation seem lighter by talking.

But after hearing this, Yuzhen was horrified. Her eyes widened, her whole body shuddered, and she subconsciously retracted her hands and feet. In her elbow, she accidentally knocked over the tea bowl on the table!
Instantly, the warm tea spilled, wetting the hem of the skirt and splashing a small piece on the ground!

"Eh!"

"Hey Yo Yo!"

"Don't be afraid, oh, girl, don't be afraid!"

Seeing this, Liu Wanyun also hurriedly stepped forward and used silk to clean the water stains on Yuzhen's skirt, for fear of scalding her!
There are also words to follow in the same time!

"Ugh!"

"Girl, I know that it's hard for you to digest such a big thing!"

"But your uncle Shen and I have carefully considered this matter for you!"

"I'm not just trying to be a last-minute savior, I'm just randomly putting the blame on you!"

"As a girl in the inner chamber, you probably don't understand the reason behind this!"

"This time, the selection of talents is actually very different from previous years!"

"Not only many noble families, but also many wealthy families are vying to send their daughters to the palace!"

"Even if it's us, the rich man in white, the imperial court is willing to accept us this time!"

"Let the men and masters discuss the major issues. We women are too lazy to bother with them!"

"But if you really look into it, in my opinion, to put it bluntly, the imperial court is just like a newly opened shop!"

"We are sending troops to the north, and we are short of money, so that's it!"

The words are rough but the logic is sound. The metaphor of willow is very vivid and appropriate!
"You haven't noticed in the past two days that the Yangzhou Hui merchants led by your uncle Shen and their rivals, the Shanxi merchants, have been fighting over the issue of sending beautiful girls to the palace. They have used a lot of connections and money. It's quite a fight!"

"After all, for merchants, this is a rare opportunity to rise to the top and be reborn!"

"How many times can we meet in this lifetime?!"

"What do you think, yes or no?!" Liu Wanyun took the opportunity to whisper in Yuzhen's ear, as if chatting with her, and gave her some persuasive words.

"So, I told your Uncle Shen!"

"Rather than spending so much money to buy other girls to enter the palace and enjoy this great blessing!"

"Why not talk to our girl Yuzhen?!" He glanced at where Master Shen was sitting.

"Girl, do you still remember it?"

"A month ago, when you and Xiao'e first entered the mansion!"

"I saw your beautiful face and I said to you, girl, you will definitely be a concubine in the future!"

"Hehehe"

"Look, it's only been a short time, and we've already come to this point, haven't we?!"

Liu flicked her handkerchief again, and with her eloquent speech, she described all the benefits of this move while caressing the words!

"do not worry!"

"As long as you nod!"

"Your uncle Shen will be in charge of all matters!"

"As for our Shen family, everything else is secondary, but the only thing we have is a lot of money!"

"In Nanjing, we have some connections with the people at the government office!"

"Ask your Uncle Shen to go and walk around!"

"No matter how much the expenses are, just fill them in!"

"Of course I will. I won't embarrass you, that's all!"

Liu rarely acted like a wealthy merchant's wife, and it seemed that she had put a lot of thought into this success.

But it’s just what my aunt said!

Yuzhen still felt a little unwilling!
He was stunned for a moment. Things had come to this point and it was not right for him to make excuses any further.
To be honest, having the support of a wealthy family like the Shen family, it would be the best choice for Yuzhen to make the leap to the palace!
After all, who doesn’t have the dream of being a queen wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe? !

It is said that it is hard to give up one's natural beauty once chosen to be by the king's side.

A single smile makes her look so charming that all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison!
just
"Aunt, I"

"I"

Yuzhen didn't realize it, but there was always a name stuck in her heart, stabbing her involuntarily. How could it be painful?
