Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 231 I didn't get the cheap, and I made a fuss
Only then did the maids beside Shen Wuniang realize that they were preparing shoes, and urging them to make purses and nets, because of this sentence!

When Shen Shangshu heard the words, he suppressed his smile and frowned.His two daughters have already become Prince Qi's people, and now there is only this one who is the most caring and sensible daughter to him, so why should they be sent to Prince Qi's mansion?Could it be that the daughters of his Shen family were all born for King Qi?Siniang is a concubine, and she is just a concubine, she is not known or humane.Wu Niang was the daughter he had loved so much. Wouldn't it be aggrieved to go to the palace to be a concubine?

"This matter is inappropriate. You should go back. My father will carefully consider your matter and will definitely choose a suitable family for you. I will definitely not call you a concubine!" Shen Shangshu said.

"Wife and concubine are big things for me, but it is most beneficial for my father to help my mother's family. Does this man in Beijing still have the authority and ability to surpass King Qi?" Shen Wuniang said, "Even though the eldest sister and the fourth sister are by Prince Qi's side, my father also knows that the eldest sister and the fourth sister may not speak well of the family members. Wu Niang is different!"

Shen Shangshu squinted at Shen Wuniang when he heard the words.What she said was also true. The two daughters together may not have as deep a feeling for this family as Wu Niangzi alone.If the person next to Lord Qi is Wu Niangzi, why would the gentlemen of the family want to formally study in the Caotang Academy, so he would come to the door to ask for it?I'm afraid Wu Niang will take care of it properly if you just send a message!

The combined usefulness of two daughters is probably not worth one Wu Niang.

Shen Shangshu hesitated in his heart, but still shook his head with a sigh, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, and Lord Qi might not agree."

Shen Wuniang frowned, "Wu Niang is not for herself, but for her father. She can't bear to see my father worry about his two sisters, and she is willing to share his worries for him. If the father thinks it's wrong, then that's it. The daughter is just I want to show my heart to my father! When a father chooses a son-in-law for his daughter, he will definitely not let his daughter be wronged by being a concubine, but the daughter is just afraid and cannot share more worries for her father."

After Shen Wuniang finished speaking, she solemnly saluted Shen Shangshu, respectfully and meticulously.Seeing Shen Shangshu raising his hand to make her stand up, she backed away.

Shen Shangshu's eyes kept on her.He nodded and shook his head involuntarily, "I used to think that Wu Niangzi was the most innocent and ignorant person, but I never thought that she is the most caring person now. If Xin Niang's seat can be changed with her, there should be How good is it?"

Shen Shangshu said to himself, and the entourage around him immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Since Wu Niangzi has this intention, she is indeed interested in aligning with the lord, why don't you mention it to the lord?"

Shen Shangshu frowned upon hearing this, "What are you talking about?"

"Explore the prince's tone," the entourage bowed, his voice lowered, "If the prince agrees to let Wu Niangzi enter the palace, although she can only be a concubine if she enters the palace now, Wu Niangzi is so smart and considerate." , maybe it will be promoted even more in the future?"

Shen Shangshu was taken aback when he heard the words, that's right, why didn't he think of it, so, if the fifth lady is favored by the prince, she will change her position in the future, why is it impossible?When Xinniang's mother, Qin Shi, was still there, she cried and cried all day long, with a sad face and was not pleasing to others, but that Zhu Shi was gentle and lovely, even if she was not the wife of the Shen family, what is the difference between her and a real wife?
Shen Shangshu chuckled lightly when he heard the words, "What you said is right!"

The next day when the court came down, Shen Shangshu did not retreat together with his colleagues, but instead found an opportunity to get close to Prince Qi.

"My lord, I have some trivial matters, I want to discuss with my lord." Shen Shangshu said with a smile.

Fang Yan looked at him sideways, "Private matter or state matter?"

Shen Shangshu opened his mouth but still didn't speak.

But Fang Yan said again: "Personal matters, let's talk about them after I leave the palace. It's inconvenient to talk about state affairs in private. Let's talk with me when I enter the Palace of Qinzheng."

Shen Shangshu quickly shook his head and said: "No need, it's...uh, a family matter! It's a family matter related to the prince and the lower officials."

Fang Yan's pretty brows frowned slightly, "Family matter? Bring it to the palace, Shen Shangshu thinks it's appropriate?"

"Then let me go to the palace and talk to the concubine?" Shen Shangshu probed in a low voice.

When Fang Yan heard that he mentioned the princess, she couldn't help but stop, lowered her eyes, and looked at him lightly, "What is it that the princess needs to worry about?"

Shen Shangshu smiled lightly, "Xin Niang has a younger sister at home, she is the fifth member of the family, and she has a very good relationship with her. I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I miss her very much, so I want to find my sister to live with." After he finished speaking, he lifted his She glanced secretly at Prince Qi's face.

There was a vague smile on the corner of Fang Yan's mouth, but his deep eyes were cold and silent, making it impossible to see his thoughts.This matter is not something that can be used to talk to him. If you really miss your sister, you can just write to Xin'er and tell him.On the contrary, Shen Shangshu used it to ask him, and the meaning changed completely.

"Wangfei's younger sister is approaching the age of Ji?" Fang Yan asked slowly.

Shen Shangshu immediately smiled all over his face, and nodded hurriedly, "It's exactly, the cardamom age, the age like morning dew and morning flowers."

Fang Yan snorted coldly, "That's not too young, why don't you find a suitable person at home to marry, and even go out for a short stay, maybe it's inappropriate? Is the Shen family's family education only strict with Xin'er? Now Are you getting more and more relaxed?"

Fang Yan's tone was not kind, and his aura immediately became cold. The strong coercion made Shen Shangshu's arched back unable to straighten, and cold sweat broke out all over his back immediately.

"Yes, what the lord taught me!" Shen Shangshu said with his head down.

"I think Shen Shangshu is too free, and he still has time to worry about such trivial matters. Why don't you leave Mr. Li to investigate the corruption of officials and perverting the law for personal gain?" Fang Yan's deep eyes Slightly narrowing his eyes, he looked at Shen Shangshu with a half-smile.

This is angry?Shen Shangshu hastily bowed, "My lord, I know my mistake."

"Well, it's good to know your mistakes. Since you know your mistakes, it is necessary to make up for your mistakes. Shen Shangshu will cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate this matter." Fang Yan said while pointing to the eunuch beside him, "Go to Dali Temple and pass on the news. .”

The eunuch hurriedly bowed to answer.

Shen Shangshu has the heart to cry, who knows something about collusion between officials and officials, corruption and favoritism?But no one is willing to jump out and get involved in this matter. It is a low-level official who is caught out and checked twice. Maybe he can be found in the capital. This is the job of offending the dead. !It was too late for others to hide, but he ran into it recklessly.

"Prince Qi... I am an official... I am not a material for investigation..."

"Is Shen Shangshu unable to handle this matter, or does he not want to share the worries of the Holy One and serve the court? Or is Shen Shangshu himself involved in this matter?" Fang Yan asked gently, "Isn't it? Just ask Dali Temple to investigate Shen Shangshu?"

Shen Shangshu's legs softened when he heard the words, and he almost knelt down, "Your Majesty has learned a lesson, I am a humble official, I would never dare to do such a thing that violates the trust of the Holy One and the trust entrusted by the court!"

Fang Yan nodded, "Then Shen Shangshu hasten to go to Dali Temple to have a massage."

After speaking, his tall and handsome figure floated away, leaving only Shen Shangshu in a daze, wanting to cry without tears.I can't wait to give myself a few slaps, what is he doing!
It was originally something that happened in the palace, but the people around Fang Yan were very familiar with Jin Xiang, and the words spread to Shen Xinniang's ears after twists and turns.

When Dan Xin listened to Jin Xiang's vivid description, she laughed right down the waist, "It makes me happy to think about Master Shen's smug look! It's so embarrassing, I don't know what he's planning! The lady didn't do anything to the Shen family, it's already Gu Nian. It's a friendship! Just because of the things he did when the lady was a child, even if he couldn't do it in the book, I'm not ashamed of him if I leave my old age and return to my hometown as soon as possible! I'm still not satisfied!"

Jin Xiang also nodded repeatedly.

But Shen Xinniang flipped through the book in her hand and said, "After all, it's Shen, my natal family. If my natal family collapsed, what good will it do me?"

"Even so, Mr. Shen shouldn't be unable to see clearly. Now that the Shen family can still feel at ease, isn't it because the lady is thinking about this friendship? People are not enough to swallow like snakes!" Dan Xin snorted.

"It's always been like this, why is it so strange?" Jin Xiang tsk-tsk on the side.

"It's all right now, I didn't get any cheap money, and I got a 'good job'. I don't know how to be 'happy', Mr. Shen!" Dan Xin clapped her hands and laughed.

The two maids were talking, but seeing that Shen Xinniang didn't care much about this topic at all, they couldn't continue talking.

After a moment of silence in the room, Dan Xin came forward and said: "Lady, Master Shen said these words in front of the prince. Is it because Shen Wuniang wants to come to the prince, or is it because of Master Shen's own attention?"

"What's the difference?" Jin Xiang stared aside, "A pair of restless and kind father and daughter!"

"That's right, Shen Wuniang was thinking about the prince in the past, didn't she live in the prince's mansion before?" Dan Xin nodded.

"What are you talking about now?" Jin Xiang glared at her, "Now the ladies are all princesses, and the prince only has a lady in his heart!"

Dan Xin nodded, "Those of us who serve by the lady's side naturally know that the prince has only one lady in his heart. But why would Shen Shangshu think of recommending a pillow mat to the prince for his little daughter?"

Jin Xiang was taken aback when he heard the words, "What do you mean?"

"You don't remember who Master Shen met when he left last time?" Dan Xin asked.

"What does this have to do with Fourth Lady?" Jin Xiang asked with a frown.
