Chapter 274: County Lord

Please add more pink

~~~~

Zhen Shiniang stayed in the palace for another two days, until the eighth princess was extubated and could be helped out of bed, before Zhen Shiniang returned to the general's mansion.

Shen Zhongqing went to the morning court early in the morning.

Remembering that the matter of lumber had not yet been settled, Zhen Shiniang was about to send someone to find Shen Zhongxin, but Shen Zhongxin came by himself.

"...I heard that someone actually filled in the Nine Palaces Diagram without blinking an eyelid?" He looked at Zhen Shiniang with interest.

Zhen Shiniang raised her head from the drawings, "...Do you think you are the only smart one in this world?" Just as she was about to sit down for tea, Shen Zhongxin sat down opposite her and poured a cup of tea himself, "... ...After seeing my sister-in-law's talent, I no longer dare to look down on women." He took out the jade bracelet Jian Wen gave him and rubbed it, "Has sister-in-law found out whose family the girl is from?" There was a strange light in her eyes.

After dinner that day, while Shen Zhongqing was waiting for Zhen Shiniang, Jian Wu and Jian Wen secretly took him to see the monster. Unexpectedly, the monster didn't see it, but he met her. That astonishing glance made his heart still pound when he thought of it. Jumping wildly.

"Inquiry..." Zhen Shiniang looked at Shen Zhongxin intently, "She is the apple of Nanjun Wang Li Chun's eye, and she has been granted the title of county lord."

Prince of Nanjun?

A trace of confusion flashed in Shen Zhongxin's eyes, "...Who is Prince Nanjun?"

By nature he dislikes official career and concentrates on studying institutions, but he knows nothing about these.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent several days failing to find out the identity of the little county head, and had to shamelessly come to Zhen Shiniang.

"The Prince of Nanjun is ordered to guard the three southwest provinces and rarely returns to the capital. It's normal that you don't recognize him." Zhen Shiniang sighed, "Although he is only a county prince, the three southwest provinces are known as the granary of the Great Zhou Dynasty and are responsible for most of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The food reserves of Nanjun Prince are more valued by Long Live than the princes and princes in Beijing, so you can’t underestimate them."

Seeing Shen Zhongxin's eyes darken instantly, Zhen Shiniang sighed secretly.

Although the little county boss is arrogant, Zhen Shiniang can't get enough of her. I saw her that day and she also likes institutions. On a whim, I asked Jian Wu and Jian Wen to take a test on her Nine Palaces, just to see her talent. Faintly, I also had it at the time. He planned to make love with her and Shen Zhongxin, so he let Jian Wu and Jian Wen do whatever they wanted and gave the jade bracelet to Shen Zhongxin...

Who would have known that the other party turned out to be the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, the out-and-out county head.

Although Shen Zhongqing was famous, he was just a martial artist. After all, the Shen family was not rich and powerful for generations. Shen Zhongxin didn't even have an official career. To marry a concubine from the king's family was to reach a high level. It's strange that the Prince of Nanjun agreed to this marriage.

There is no drama in this marriage!

Knowing the identity of the woman in red. She originally wanted to stop Jian Wu and Jian Wen. Unexpectedly, the two little guys moved so fast. They told Shen Zhongxin while they were still in Zheng Mansion, and they bumped into each other in Haitang Courtyard. Thinking of this, Zhen Shi My mother couldn't help but sigh again, and reached out to take the jade bracelet in Shen Zhongxin's hand. "...The county master is young and ignorant, but we can't ruin his reputation. I'll keep this jade bracelet until later. Give them the right opportunity."

Since it was impossible, she could no longer let Shen Zhongxin do whatever he wanted.

When his hand was empty, Shen Zhongxin became excited and stretched out his hand to snatch it back. When he heard "We can't ruin his reputation because of this," his arm drooped down.

Zhen Shiniang just didn't see it, wrapped the jade bracelet in a handkerchief and put it into the jewelry box, then picked up the letter on the table and handed it to Shen Zhongxin, "...the letter from Baiquan said that Master Guigu has left, you Brother plans to arrive at the beginning of the twelfth twelfth lunar month, so we should prepare materials during these days, so as not to make it difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice after your master comes." The voice was calm, without saying a single word of begging.

Shen Zhongxin was stunned for a while, then suddenly took the letter, "Really!" He opened it hurriedly, "Master can really come?" He raised his head happily, "What grade do you want, sister-in-law, I will help you. Pick!" Afraid that Zhen Shiniang wouldn't believe it, she patted her chest and promised, "Even my master would praise my eye for picking wood. I guarantee that my sister-in-law will be satisfied and it will be worth every penny!"

Zhen Shiniang smiled slightly.

Shen Zhongxin took the drawing and hurried out, "...I'll help my sister-in-law calculate how much material will be used first."

Walking to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Sister-in-law..." Shen Zhongxin's voice hesitated, "That Miss Wu..." He looked at Zhen Shiniang nervously.

Zhen Shiniang didn't even move her eyelids.

"Miss Wu is gentle and virtuous. Mrs. Xiao has also helped me to see that she will be a good wife and mother in the future. The Wu family has agreed. Your eldest brother is planning to hire her in the next two days, and she will be promoted to the door in the first year." Zhen Shiniang He raised his head from the drawing and said, "In the future, we will get married, and my second brother will also have a wife. It is time to be more prudent in everything. I can no longer spend three days fishing and two days drying the land and working as an errand." She looked like a eldest sister-in-law and a mother. appearance.

Shen Zhongxin froze.

"Sister-in-law!" he shouted.

He looked like he wanted to eat people.

Before today, he also thought that getting a wife and having children was just that. As long as the person was virtuous and could win the favor of his eldest brother and mother, he could marry him and keep him at home to serve the old lady and respect his eldest brother and sister-in-law. What should he do? Well, but after that astonishing glance at the door of Haitang Court, and hearing from Jian Wu Jianwen that there was such a smart and lively woman in the world, suddenly, he didn't want to marry Wu Yafang at all.

"What?" Zhen Shiniang's face instantly darkened.

Seeing that his sister-in-law was angry, Shen Zhongxin lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, I..." He was a little at a loss.

Zhen Shiniang looked at him without saying a word.

In just a moment, Shen Zhongxin was talking and laughing freely again. He looked at Zhen Shiniang flatteringly, "When I was in Zheng Mansion, I also saw Miss Wu from a distance through the wall. She didn't look pleasant at all!" He made it up randomly, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you..." He clasped his fists and bowed to Zhen Shiniang repeatedly, as if he had put honey on his mouth, "At least the marriage has been canceled. My sister-in-law helped me with this. If anything happens in the future, my sister-in-law will do it." Just say it, and I will be happy to help you."

Zhen Shiniang sighed secretly.

No wonder the old lady only likes her younger son but not her eldest son. His sweet mouth and flexible energy will make anyone who sees him hate him.

Shen Zhongqing would never say such sweet words.

"Your elder brother is easy to talk to. I will try my best to speak for you, but..." She looked embarrassed, "... Mr. Zheng Ge is not easy to explain."

Shen Zhongxin's eyes lit up brightly.

Prince Nanjun was furious

"... Ridiculous, really absurd!" He glared at Princess Nanjun, "How could you let her do such a ridiculous thing!"

"I didn't take care of it at first glance." Princess Nanjun was full of grievances. "Xiang'er's personal maid discovered that her jade bracelet was missing yesterday. After I pressed, I found out that she had used it to replace it with a puppet." She said tactfully, "The other party is also two ignorant children. Your Majesty, don't make a fuss." My daughter has been fond of institutions since she was a child. As long as she is happy, the county and prince's palace will not be short of these few dollars!

She said soft words, and Princess Nanjun felt resentful in her heart.

"You know nothing!" Prince Nan's veins popped up on his forehead.

Princess Nanjun suddenly raised her head.

"Do you know who those two kids are?"

"He is the son of General Shen. I met Mrs. Shen in the Zheng Mansion. Although she didn't speak, she looked generous from a distance. If she finds out..."

"Mrs. Shen is gentle and generous?" Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Prince Nanjun. He looked at Princess Nanjun aggressively, "Why don't you think about it? How could it be such a coincidence that you brought your son to the birthday banquet? It happened to be I brought puppets and met our Xiang'er by chance, but Xiang'er is naturally fond of traps?"

"this……"

Princess Nanjun was shocked.

She really hadn't thought about this.

"Xiang'er has been living in the south. Few people in Beijing know that she likes institutions..." the prince continued.

"Your Majesty..." Princess Nanjun called out.

"That year when I was transporting food and grass to the army, I once mentioned to General Shen that Xiang'er liked organs..."

"What does the prince mean..." Princess Nanjun's lips trembled, "This... is this a conspiracy?" She suddenly shook her head, "There are rumors outside that General Shen and his wife are very affectionate..." She shook her head again, "Knowing that our daughter will never As a concubine, General Shen would never do such a ridiculous thing."

"The imperial doctor said yesterday that Mrs. Shen would not live more than a year!" Prince Nanjun's voice rose an octave, "I went to Xibohou Mansion as a guest yesterday, and I heard from Mrs. Xibohou that many ladies from famous families in Shangjing City have reached the age of 10. If you refuse to discuss marriage, you are just waiting to cling to the general's palace to marry General Shen."

Princess Nanjun thought of the news in the inner palace two days ago that Zhen Shiniang fainted from exhaustion while trying to save the eighth princess.

She opened her mouth instantly.

Seeing that she finally understood the stakes, King Nanjun softened his tone, "Normally, I also believe that General Shen would not have his mind set on our Xiang'er, but..." He changed the subject, "The northwest horse market is in a commotion. Mr. Zheng Ge is competing with General Shen Qing. On the surface, the two of them look affectionate, but in fact they are fighting to the death." He sighed, "One of their sisters is a concubine, one of their daughters is a noble concubine, one is young and beautiful, and the other is a concubine. She has two sons and one daughter, and they are all the most powerful candidates to compete for the position of queen. There are even rumors among the important ministers that whoever wins this horse market competition will have a daughter or sister who will be the queen!"

"...He wants to use Xiang'er to force you to commit the crime?" Princess Nanjun's voice trembled.

"Once he shows off his fragrant bracelet among the important officials..." King Nanjun shook his head, "General Shen has a large number of soldiers, and Mrs. Shen has responded to the call of the people. Especially for saving the eighth princess this time, she is deeply grateful to the concubine. , there is no resistance in the harem, and the only thing he worries about now is me, the county prince who holds the grain and grass in his hands and chokes the lifeline of his army!"

Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first.

The reason why Long Live has shown great favor to them in the past two years and promoted them year after year is because he controls the granary of Dazhou and can directly control the heavy troops in Shen Zhongqing's hands!

Shen Zhongqing was originally a ruthless character who killed many people.

They are said to be upright and upright, but there are a few people who do not give in in the face of power and wealth!

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and Princess Nanjun's face turned slightly pale.

Suddenly, she stood up and said, "I'm going to the General's Mansion now!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
