Chapter 144 Solicitation (2) ([-])
"Some things can be subdued, and some things can't."

"You're not afraid of..."

Shen Ji just roasted two pieces of venison, dipped in the sauce and rolled them with the vegetable leaves on the side, and put the sliced ​​mushrooms and carrots that she had baked before, and put them on a plate and brought them over, "Come on, say It's been a long time, try my barbecue skills."

Wei Ying picked up a venison roll with mixed vegetables, what's the way to eat it?But with the idea that what his wife made must be good, he just took a bite, um, not bad.There are vegetables and meat, neither greasy nor deprived of the deliciousness of venison, but also the fragrance of mushrooms, etc., and the meat is really fresh and tender.Seeing him start, Xu Mao also took another one, "Mrs. Mrs. Lao!"

"You're welcome." Shen Ji sat down again and baked for himself.

"You ask me if I'm afraid, of course I am. But he can't kill me. If I stand in line now, I will be in big trouble in the future. Even if he becomes a gentleman in the future, he will hate me for such trivial things If so, then he is not the king I am willing to serve, I would rather lose my position." Speaking of this, Wei Ying is a bit regretful, if he was born 20 years earlier, it is the time when he starts to work hard today, then he can show his ambitions well.

Xu Mao sighed, "Forget it, I also know that you seem to be a talkative person, but you are actually round on the outside and square on the inside. Anyway, no matter what, Mrs. Sister-in-law will accompany you. It's really enviable!"

Wei Ying whispered: "In fact, I don't want to make her suffer any more. However, a gentleman will do something and not do something." Now the emperor is only in his 40s, and he is in good health. What team is he in a hurry to stand in?If his speculation is true, then as long as he is loyal to the emperor, he will not be in trouble.

After eating roasted venison, Xu Mao led the two of them to walk slowly to see plum blossoms.After a night, the snow on the ground also made creaking noises when stepped on, so Shen Ji deliberately stomped on it all the way wearing her buckskin boots.

"I want this one, and this one." Shen Ji pointed to a few plum blossoms in particularly good shape and looked back at Xu Mao with a smile, "You won't be reluctant, will you?"

"How could it be, Mrs. Sister-in-law is free to do whatever she wants."

Xu Mao saw that Wei Ying had made up his mind, so he just said: "Then you should be more careful in the future, even if the Seventh Prince doesn't argue with you, it's hard for his subordinates. If there are any mistakes in government affairs, it's hard not to be caught .”

Wei Ying nodded, now that things have happened, he has to be more careful in the future.

Xu Mao suddenly sighed, "You still have vision, if you marry Miss Shi's family, if something happens to you, if the crisis you bring is greater than the value of use, Heli will definitely be forced to separate. It's rare to have such a person who is wholeheartedly for you. What's more, Mrs. Sister-in-law is so capable, making people worry about things outside the house."

"Yes, how about you?"

"My family is urging me to go back to my hometown to get married, and the date will be when the flowers are blooming." Xu Mao said with a reluctance on his face.

Wei Ying smiled, "How do you know it's not a good match?"

"Tigress, beat me since I was a child."

Wei Ying almost laughed, and held back for the sake of his friend's face, "It's not a good woman who is gentle and gentle, and after so many years, your impression is still stuck in childhood. How can there be no deviation. If it's really a tigress , how could your parents be so eager to urge you to marry?"

"They don't want to break the contract and ruin the decades-old friendship between the two families. Anyway, I am neither the eldest son nor the most favored youngest. Huh, after I get married, I will put her in my hometown to fulfill my filial piety. According to the rules, the main wife should perform filial piety at home, and the concubine will accompany her to the post."

Wei Ying patted Xu Mao on the shoulder: "Let's take a look, if you really are a shrew, you'd better keep her here to make your parents feel uncomfortable; if not, the newlyweds are still It’s better not to live in two places.”

After lunch, they sat for a while, and the two left. It was fine if Xu Mao couldn't stay, but he was a little worried about Wei Ying's future.

After getting into the carriage, Shen Ji held Wei Ying's hand, "It was really the Seventh Prince who asked him to be a lobbyist."

"Well, he just said a few words of persuasion. Don't worry, I'm a small official, and the dignified prince won't really care so much."

Shen Ji has watched too many TV dramas, and knows that getting involved in seizing the throne is never a good thing. The wheel of history whizzes by, big and small are the same, there is no room for resistance.But I didn't expect Wei Ying, who was dedicated to making progress, to be so clear-headed, and not at all confused by the future promised by the Seventh Prince.She couldn't help but asked: "Brother Wei, don't you just want to make progress, why did you refuse the Seventh Prince's solicitation?"

"To put it on the bright side, the emperor is still alive, and it is not yet the year to know the destiny. The princes are so busy that they have lost both the way of being ministers and the way of being sons. The ministers are even more important. Positive; speaking on the selfish side, that is, I would never stand in line until I see it clearly. The current situation will not be without ideas in the emperor's mind. It doesn't matter if the Seven Emperors have the highest voice and the highest family background. If you like him, you can directly For the prince."

"You don't like him?"

"It's not my turn to see it or not. Anyway, whoever the emperor appoints as the prince, I will be loyal to the emperor and the prince. Before the situation is clear, I will only be loyal to the emperor. One of the seven princes disdains to care too much about me, a small official, and the other Two, if he kills me, it will hurt his reputation. Therefore, even if he suffers a little, it won't be a big one. But what Xu Mao said is right, his subordinates have to be on guard. Our family has How much silver?"

"Gongzhong currently has about 2000 taels of cash. But next month, Zhuangzi's shop will have to pay the account for a year."

"Well, I'll take 1000 taels and apply it to various joints. I don't ask for anything else, just don't ask anyone to make trouble." The first person to apply is Liu's relatives.Cao Xiu also had to go there.There are also other people from the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

"Well, good." Shen Ji calculated that 1000 taels should be used to live a month, and then prepare New Year's gifts everywhere.Moreover, Baoyuezhai will also have a surplus of about 300 taels next month.It's the Chinese New Year, and she bought a lot of exquisite things for gifts, so she should be able to make a fortune here again.If it's not enough, she still has one or two thousand taels at the bottom of the box.

Wei Ying rubbed the forehead, "Sure enough, there are a lot of places to spend. In the future, I will depend on you, Madam, to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

Shen Ji muttered, "The cost of watching a juggling show is too high. Is it true that we have to live in seclusion and be cautious in our words and deeds in the future?"

"No, how can you increase income and reduce expenditure when you live in a simple life? The 1000 taels are not injustice. At least I know that I am not really sitting on the bench, and my heart is much more at ease."

"Ok?"

"Actually, when I came to the Hanlin Academy, I was treated coldly, and I was also thinking about it, but I just thought that the nobles were too forgetful. But the Seventh Prince can even see me who has just entered an official position. It can only show that someone above him values ​​me. I have seen The archived list of officials who have been promoted over the years lasts for 20 years. Today, they are people who pay great attention to the long-term. After five to 20 years, I will come out of these people. I was unwilling to sit on the bench at the beginning, so I did some research to see if there was a pattern in the process. I found that people who have been favored in the world, as long as they show the corresponding talents in the future, they will be reborn. Nothing happened, and they all became famous ministers with real power. There are rumors that someone was placed in today's court to inspect the character and talent of the princes, but I don't know which adult is responsible for this important task. I think it's right The courtiers he favors should also have corresponding people watching in secret."
