Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 372
Since it was King Yan's intention, Shen Xi will not go into it for the time being.

She said, "Then what is the name of the banquet?"

Can't you just use the name of Shen Ruopu Rongsheng?
"The old man will celebrate his birthday in ten days or so, and then we will use it as a birthday celebration." Huang came here casually, apparently having discussed it with them.

In the name of Shen Ruopu's birthday, it seems that the focus is still on this banquet. Shen Ruopu is considered to be part of King Yan's party, so the purpose may still be for connections.

Thinking of this, she nodded: "For such a big matter, I should naturally stay in the mansion."

Shen Ruopu's birthday is on the fifteenth day of the second lunar month, and the news gradually spread in the capital.

I don't know if it's because this has stimulated people, and more matchmakers have come to propose marriage these days.

Except for those who matchmaking with Shen Chongguang, there are also those who matchmaking for Shen Di. As the young master of the Shen family, Shen Di is already sixteen, just the right age to discuss marriage.

In addition, he is the eldest grandson and has a calm temperament. Although people in the Manchu Dynasty are a little secretive about the Shen family because of Han Dun, they are always a little eager to find a way out and want to seek this good opportunity.

At the beginning, Shen Ruopu was rather bookish and unwilling to deal with these people, but later he figured it out and arranged for Fu'an to receive him.

Shen Chongguang's marriage has been settled.

The other party was a girl from a small family, and she had also been out of the court before, but the husband's family planned to marry her and go back to celebrate the wedding. After three days of marriage, she became a widow. She returned to her natal family with a dowry and lived with her parents.

However, because the family is full of scholars, and they had studied for a few years when they were young, they can be regarded as prudent, so Huang went to see it a few times, and he really couldn't say that he was dissatisfied.

But because he was also responsible for Shen Ruopu and Shen Chongguang, after thinking about it for half a month, someone took Geng's post to get married, and it turned out to be a good match.

So it was settled.

The new third wife, surnamed Wen, is 25 years old.

The rites of the continuation are not as cumbersome as the original match, and the wedding here is scheduled for March.

Wen's family has only one son and one daughter. Wen's elder brother is a petty official in water transport and is married, while his sister-in-law is in charge of housework.

My father is a Juren, a Tongzhi in Tongzhou County, usually not in Beijing.

Shen Ruopu was very satisfied with the simplicity and innocence of the Wen family, so Fu An was still given a dowry gift of 5000 taels of silver.

As a result, [-]% of the people who came to the door recently were matchmakers.

But Shen Chongguang was full of spirits, and became friendly with his children, and thought that Mr. Mei was going to Beijing for business in March, so he simply wrote to invite him and his wife to come to Beijing to attend his wedding.

Although it is not a very glorious thing to divorce his wife and remarry, he has made up his mind to live a good life with Wen, so he doesn't care about it.

Shen Yan felt a headache when she heard the word Mei's family.

I didn't know how to call off this marriage before, but now that Shen Ruopu is promoted, it is even more difficult to say this, otherwise wouldn't it be suspected of being snobbish?
In the past few days, he seldom stayed in the mansion, leaving early and returning late to stay in the study house, as if soldiers came to block the water and cover them with earth.

The bookstore has hired two female teachers recently, one is from Helian, and the other is a former female teacher in Helian's family. Both of them cherish this opportunity very much and are very responsible.

In this way, Shen Xi and she can also spare time to do their own things.

Shen Xi has been busy watching the Mu family and preparing for Shen Ruopu's birthday banquet recently, so he doesn't have much time to stay in the bookstore.

As for the imperial court, Han Dun lost to Shi Di, but managed to force Liang Xiu into an embarrassing situation.

Although Liang Xiu definitely hated Han Dun deeply, but because the royalists were afraid of Yan Palace, they were destined not to make any breakthrough in the relationship between Liang Xiu and the Palace.

On the contrary, because of the Dongxiang Tower incident, Liang Xiu had to beware of Han Dun's covetousness towards the military guards, and he also had to be wary of what the Prince Yan and his sons did to the military guards. on the back.

After hearing the news of Shen Ruopu joining the cabinet, he felt that he had become the target of King Yan and Han Dun.

But in fact, he was more wary of Xiao Huai, because no matter how they plotted against King Yan, they were actually coming for Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai is the future of Prince Yan's Mansion. If Han Dun wants to seize military power, the best way is to cut Xiao Huai directly.

And he added medicine to the tea to send Xiao Huai to Han Dun's knife. As long as Xiao Huai died, the palace would have no future to speak of. This was of great benefit to the military guards.

They all knew this, so how could Xiao Huai not know?
For those who threatened his life, he did not believe that Xiao Huai would let him go.

However, he didn't make any movement these few days, instead he heard that he, He Lanzhun and Shen Xi were eating out.

I also heard that he has been handling official duties in the Yamen step by step these few days, as if he seems to have forgotten who he is.How is this reasonable?

Xiao Huai was not a soft-hearted person in the first place, let alone this time he directly provoked him.

He held back for a few days, and finally found Qianqing Palace this day, taking advantage of the time when the little emperor was drinking milk, he asked tentatively: "Did the son say anything to the emperor in the past few days?"

He knew that Xiao Huai was teaching him how to ride.

The little emperor put down the bowl, licked the milk on his lips, thought for a while and said, "I haven't talked to Brother Xiao in private for half a month."

Liang Xiu was slightly relieved.It's fine if you don't have one.

But after thinking about it, this didn't say anything, wouldn't it be even more difficult to guess what he was thinking?

He raised his heart again.

"General Liang, are you looking for Brother Xiao for something? Would you like me to pass him on for you?" the little emperor asked.

"No, no," Liang Xiu waved his hand immediately, "I don't have anything to do, I just ask casually."

As he spoke, he pointed to the writing on the table and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, the emperor's handwriting is getting better and better."

"Really," the little emperor picked up the words, and suddenly said: "I heard that Shen Ge is going to have a birthday soon, I want to give him a letter, and General Liang will pass on a decree on my behalf?"

Let him go to the Shen family to pass the decree?
His "suspicion" of murdering Shen Xi hasn't been cleared yet, let him visit the door now?
He didn't know how much the little emperor knew about Cuihu, but since it was an imperial decree, why would he not follow it?
The little emperor waited for Liang Xiu to retreat, then frowned and continued to talk to Li Qiu: "You said that the Iron Eagle Sect, the information you checked is all related to the Great Qin Clan?"

"Exactly." Li Qiu nodded, "The Iron Eagle Sect has never done anything wrong, but all the information we have inquired about is related to the clan of the previous dynasty, especially Prince An's residence.

"This time when their people appeared in Cuihu Lake, it seems that even their chief gang leader didn't know about it beforehand. The spies came back and said that the inside and outside of their gang were sealed off at night. It is said that their chief gang leader came back to give a lecture."

The little emperor frowned and remained silent.

Li Qiu said again: "Do you want to give an order to Lingyun Pavilion?"

The little emperor continued to be silent for a while, and then said again: "Since they came for the humiliation of Prince An's mansion 13 years ago, and not for me, then why bother?"

Li Qiu nodded.
