Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 141 Years and Years (Killing Corrupt Officials)

Shen Mingxi's aptitude is indeed good, this Shen Chuxia admits, but Ji Chong doesn't have to do that either!

Don't say that Shen Chuxia was extremely shocked, even Shen Mingxi himself felt incredible, "I'm not your son, why am I in your house?"

"Your father is my official. I sent him to the south. I'll help him manage it. Is there anything wrong?"

"Who cares about you." Shen Mingxi didn't care about his temper.

Ji Chong grinned, "It's up to you." He didn't bother with him, "Come here——"

"The little one is—"

"Bring Qing to the Prince Regent's Mansion tomorrow morning, and ask her to take care of Young Master Shen's food and daily life."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhishi went to make arrangements.

Shen Mingxi, who objected, suddenly fell silent, "Then...what if no one plays with me?"

"Don't worry, the adults also have children. If you want someone to accompany you, I'll ask them to bring the children here."

"Great." Shen Mingxi actually accepted Ji Chong's arrangement.

"Brother Xi?" Shen Chuxia was dumbfounded, you are father's son, not His Highness's child, why... you treat him as your father?

"Sister, no one will love you in the future."

"I..." Shen Chuxia didn't know what to say for a while, "Then...then Your Highness...Brother Xi, let me pay the money for my wife."

She thought Ji Chong disagreed, but he nodded, "Yes."

I planned to sleep again and go back at dawn, but Shen Chuxia couldn't sleep at all, why did Brother Xi stay in the Prince Regent's Mansion?She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out: "Forget it, don't think about it."

Shen Chuxia didn't feel relieved until the Qing clan arrived.

"Big lady, it's not right for you to leave Xi'er in the palace." Qingluan grabbed Shen Chuxia who was about to leave.

Ji Chong's eyes flickered, Yingshi was quite sensible, and after finally letting him go, he secretly asked people to let the handyman go too.

Qingluan was so frightened that she let go of her hand, and bowed to the regent tremblingly, "How can a child play bad things and disturb His Highness, it is really a crime that I dare not take."

"Master Shen was sent to Hengnan by me as soon as he was released from prison. In order to compensate him, why don't you dare to take care of his son for him alone?" Ji Chong looked at her with meaningful eyes.

"..." Qingluan almost lowered her head to the ground after being stared at, and didn't dare to say anything. Could it be that he...he...she just didn't dare to think about it.

Ji Chong looked coldly, "If Master Shen's eldest son and second son were not going back to Pengcheng to participate in the show test, I would have taken them over as well."

Qingluan raised her eyes, complex eyes flashed by, and quickly thanked her with joy, "Then... I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness." After speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed.

Ji Chong didn't ignore the complexity, the corners of his lips raised slightly.

When Shen Chuxia went back to Yulin Lane, Ji Chong insisted on giving it away, not only that, but also brought a lot of gifts, she couldn't push it anyway, so she had to pick some inexpensive ones and accept them.

As a result, when they set off, the gifts that she pushed down still followed their carriage home to Yunbei.

...Okay, let's do this first.

When Shen Yuanshi heard that the concubine was left behind by the regent, she was very frightened, "Does your father know?"

The carriage shook, and Shen Chuxia shook her head, "I probably don't know."

"Then what if Xi'er bumps into him, how can I explain to your father?"

"Mother, don't worry, Erniang is right next to Brother Xi, she is his own mother, so there must be no problem."

"How can I see the Prince Regent's Mansion when I go to see his mother?" Shen Yuanshi muttered.

Yes, why did they go to the Regent's House?If you want to blame it, blame this Piwazi, why did you steal her handkerchief?

It was snowing heavily, and two days later, Shen Chuxia reunited with her uncle and uncle's family, and passed the second year of the Great Wei Dynasty.This year became lively and peaceful because Shen Jinlin was released from prison and was reused by the regent.

For ordinary people, Chinese New Year is all about eating, drinking, and having fun. For the Shen and Yuan families, besides this, they also have a good business.

Ji Chong said that he would come to the Yunnan army in the next year, but he didn't show up until the ice opened in February, when the three brothers Shen Dezhi, Yuan Shao'an and others returned to Pengcheng, maybe because Beijing was too busy.

Elder Shen was both relieved and worried, and asked his eldest son to accompany the four boys back, "Jia Cheng, the future of these children is entirely in your hands, so you can't be careless."

"Father, I understand, don't worry."

The uncle's mind is all about business, but thinking of not being able to see her husband for nearly a year, she feels a little bit reluctant for a while, "Be careful on the road!"

"I know, don't just think about business, take good care of your parents."

"I know."

Shen Jiacheng said again, "If Xiu'er has a good marriage, and I'm not here, I'll let my parents make the decision. Hurry up and get married as soon as I come back."

"I know." As soon as she heard about her daughter's marriage, the auntie felt very upset. The future champion would be snatched away by the eldest lady of the Yuan family, and the person surnamed Lu who was surnamed Qian would have no fate with her daughter. She was extremely worried.

Hearing her parents talking about her marriage, Shen Xiu'er stood aside silently.

Shen Chuxia subconsciously glanced at Yuan Ning'an. This year's Chinese New Year, Qiao Jiaji stayed at Shen's house for more than ten days and interacted with her frequently. From this point of view, Qiao Jiaji was satisfied with her, and the marriage was just short of a process.

She glanced at her uncle again.

Uncle looked away in embarrassment.

Uncle is still simple and knows that this matter is unreasonable.

Shen Chuxia withdrew her gaze and secretly smiled, so what?Good things and young people, he didn't refuse either.

Should it be said that Yuan Ning'an's fight for himself is worthy of praise, or should it be said that everyone has a chance since there is no one in the original horoscope?

Shen Xiu'er has a meek personality, it's impossible for her to fight for herself, so what should she do?
Shen Chuxia remembered a sentence, those who are blessed should not be too busy, those who are unlucky will lose their legs, maybe Shen Xiu'er has her own blessing.

Leaving the four of them, Shen Yuan's family suddenly became much emptier, and Mr. Shen was not used to it for a while.

"Xia'er, are you still going to the capital?"

Shen Chuxia touched her nose subconsciously, "Boss Yu has accumulated a lot of things for me to deal with."

In fact, it was Shen Yuanshi who wanted to go back to the capital. She felt that Shen Jinlin would be able to meet him as soon as he came back. Besides, she was worried that Shen Mingxi would be alone in the Regent's Palace, and she was afraid that something might go wrong and she would be sorry for her husband's entrustment.

No matter whether it is a novel or a film and television drama, there is no such thing as a conspiratorial conspiracy by a aunt's treatment of a concubine. There are almost no one like Shen Yuanshi who cares about the concubine when he has two sons.

Old Mr. Shen sighed, "Well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings." He can't selfishly keep his children and grandchildren by his side, so how can they be promising.

At the end of February, Shen Chuxia brought her mother, younger sister, and Shen Xiu'er, who was forced by her aunt, into the capital.

The entire carriage was full of women, and she instantly felt that the challenge was too heavy.

"Yes... I'm sorry Xia'er, if you let me get off at the intersection ahead, I'll go back by myself."

The aunt asked Shen Xiu'er to go fishing for money in the capital and put it on the bright side. Even the old lady Shen gave her support. Can Shen Chuxia not take it?

"It's okay. After arriving in the capital, finding a shop to make money can be regarded as fulfilling my wish."

"The town... the town can also..."

"Forget it, they are all big men in the army, how much money can they make?"

Shen Chuxia laughed. There are many garrisons in Yunbei Town, and of course there are many bachelors.Shen Xiu'er was handsome and charming, and she was literate and well-mannered. She was the sweet potato that those men robbed. If she went to Beijing with them, she could be regarded as leaving the wolf's den.

Two days later, they returned to Yulin Lane again.

Before Shen Yuanshi could urge Shen Chuxia to go to the Prince Regent's Mansion, she heard about the Prince Regent killing corrupt officials at the entrance of the alley.

Just after February, start abstinence to kill people?Shen Chuxia was shocked.

Before going to the Prince Regent's Mansion, she went to Zhang Feiran to find out about the situation, but she did not expect to meet Lu Qi who was returning to Beijing to visit her mother.

The three sat in Zhu Ji's breakfast shop and chatted while eating.

"Have you really killed eight of them on the spot?" Shen Chuxia asked.

Zhang Feiran nodded, "Feng Shizi received the regent's order and killed eight officials regardless of the new year's end."

"Then Grand Master Gao didn't make trouble?" Shen Chuxia just arrived in the capital, but felt that the whole capital was too quiet.

Lu Qidao, "I also find it strange, why did Mrs. Gao not make trouble? Is it pointless to pursue the dead official? His purpose now is to replace the official?"

"It's very possible." Zhang Feiran said, "Although I'm in the Imperial Academy, but I've heard my colleagues discuss this matter, the old Grand Master Gao will definitely compete with the Regent King in terms of alternate officials."

is that so?Shen Chuxia didn't know, she asked, "How is your gate situation?"

"The tide is low in winter, and the boat flow is not big." Lu Qi felt like he had been polished by life for a long time.

Shen Chuxia took a special look at his clothes. It will be March soon, and he is still wearing a heavy winter official uniform. The sleeves are stained with ink and cannot be washed off due to frequent writing. , rather like an old official who is dying.

"Master Lu's salary has not been paid?" She pointed to his clothes and asked directly.

In ancient times, official salaries had solid silver, as well as various grain, oil and clothing subsidies, but how much money could be distributed to the hands depended on how much money the court had and how many officials passed through it.

Hearing these words, as if he had found a bosom friend, Lu Qi blurted out his uncontrollable bitterness, "I don't even have a few taels of salary, and it's so harsh that I can't even support my mother. It's really..." It's hard to say.

Shen Chuxia pursed her lips, "Then those boat guards under you..."

"This..." Lu Qi couldn't speak.

"When they make money, you turn a blind eye and close your eyes?"

Lu Qi smiled uglier than crying, "Then what else can I do? I can only persuade them to fish less, and I just don't fish myself."

Shen Chuxia looked at him, "You are already 21, you should also save money to marry a wife!"

"Isn't that right, my mother..." Lu Qi seemed to think of something, and quickly asked happily, "I heard that your cousin is going to open an embroidery shop, do you want an embroider mother? My mother's craftsmanship is pretty good, why not..."

Shen Chuxia nodded, "No problem."

"That's great." Lu Qi felt much better, "I knew something good would happen when I met you."

Shen Chuxia laughed.

Lu Qi thought for a while, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Miss Shen, do you think that if we low-level officials don't have salaries, do we have any other way besides being greedy?"

Zhang Feiran and Shen Chuxia were startled, and they said in unison, "Lord Lu, you..."

"I only have one old woman, and she can still help me a little bit, but those poor children cultivated by the whole family, people from a large family expect them to live a good life with pride and prosperity, and in the end the salary they get is not even their own. If you can’t support yourself, will you be willing?”

Of course not reconciled, the result can be imagined.

After breakfast, the three went about their own business.

Standing on the street, Shen Chuxia looked at the dazed crowd, wondering how the corrupt officials in the officialdom of the Wei Dynasty had been plundered, and if the root cause was not resolved, one crop after another was like wildfire.

Suddenly, she couldn't help but laugh, she, an ordinary person, why bother with all this, went to the Prince Regent's Mansion to see Shen Mingxi.

"What are you laughing at?" There was a sudden sound, and Shen Chuxia was so frightened that he backed away. When he saw that it was Xiaoguo's uncle Liu Weixian, he stared, "What are you doing, you look like a ghost."

"You're obviously in a daze, but I've been standing by the side for quite a while." Liu Weixian curled his lips dissatisfied.

Shen Chuxia glanced at him, "How do you know I'm here?"

"Why don't I know?" Liu Weixian would not tell her. He inquired about her itinerary from the regent's subordinates. He estimated that he would wait at the entrance of Yulin alley every day when he came to the capital. Hearing that she came to Zhuji, he hurriedly Come here.

"Hmph." Shen Chuxia walked away.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"The Prince Regent's Mansion, are you going?"

"..." He didn't dare to go, "Do you want to rent your cousin's shop?"

Shen Chuxia stopped in her tracks, "Liu Weixian, if you want to pick up girls and play with women, there are many in Qinghonglou, Yicui Pavilion, and Jiarenfang. If it's not good enough, there is also Jiaofangsi. Don't come here to harm a good lady, understand?"

"You...you're bold..." Liu Weixian blushed at Shen Chuxia's anger, "I'm Uncle Xiaoguo, be careful and I'll punish you."

"It's up to you." Shen Chuxia sneered, looked him up and down, "I don't know how many women have used it, huh..." He ran away as if he was afraid to avoid something dirty.

"You..." Uncle Xiaoguo's face turned blue and pale.

His boy was about to go up to beat someone, but he stopped him. The boy couldn't help being angry, "That young man didn't go to the place of fireworks, and he never played with women."

Hey, don't say it, the regent Ji Chong doesn't have one.

"If His Royal Highness allows it, it might be even worse than Shi Ziye."

"Shut up." Liu Weixian looked at the back as he walked further and further away. Whether Ji Chong can do it is just a legend in the capital. If he can, then he is really clean.

What's the meaning?If you want to accept the little lady of the Shen family, you have to keep yourself clean?Liu Weixian's expression changed.

The little servant pouted and persuaded, "My lord, since last autumn, you haven't found a woman. Do you want to find a woman to get angry with?"

"Get out!" Liu Weixian stretched out his foot and kicked the servant.

The little fellow gritted his teeth in pain, "My lord, you don't know how, you will guard your body like a jade for the little lady of the Shen family?"

"Are you really good at keeping men's morals?"

"Hey, didn't you just leave, why did you come back?" Liu Weixian blushed and broke the conversation.

"Your shop really wants three taels?"

"That's right!" Liu Weixian hurriedly laughed along with him when he heard that there was something going on in the shop, "It's absolutely true."

Shen Chuxia glanced at him, with red lips and white teeth, and a pretty face, "Three or two is fine, I will rent your shop with a [-]% discount on the market price."

"It's easy to talk about." Liu Weixian was very excited, "Then when will we sign the contract?"

"No hurry, wait until I come back from the Prince Regent's Mansion."
