Shen Hexuan finally declined the prince's request to stay, and left the palace early the next morning with his book boy and his favorite guqin.
In addition, Jiang Lin did not come, so Dacheng Hall suddenly became empty. The prince looked at the two empty tables for a while, called Huang Jin, and ordered him to take people to move out the two sets of tables and chairs.[]
Everyone was still a little sad about parting. When they saw that there were two tables moved out, they were a little confused at first, and then they realized. Wang Qi lowered his head hurriedly and covered his face with his hands, for fear that he would laugh out loud and hinder the prince's eyes. .
If Shen Fenghuang kills Jiang Shifu, this is not considered a loss, right?
If it weren't for the prince's face being so ugly, he would have really wanted to laugh three times.
Since then, the number of companions from the Fu School has been reduced from eight to six.
It's just that I didn't feel anything when Shen Hexuan was there, but when I left, I was really not used to it.
The Yuequn Courtyard was too quiet, and there was no longer the melodious sound of the piano. Even Lu Wenzhao, who had previously been most bored with Shen Hexuan's playing the strings, also became distracted several times, vaguely missing the days when he was accompanied by the music of the piano.
Although Shen Hexuan behaves casually, he is not annoying. Even when he plays the piano every night, he always chooses elegant and quiet music. Even if he learns new music, it is arranged before and after dinner, and he changes it when everyone goes back to their room to study. Quiet music.
The joy in Wang Qi's heart because Jiang Lin also left the Fu School was replaced by guilt within two days. In his opinion, if he hadn't avoided Jiang Lin so well, Jiang Lin would not have gotten angry at Shen Hexuan alone. , finally forced Shen Hexuan away.
He could still rely on being half-in-law to the palace and old acquaintances with the prince to get along with Jiang Lin. How could Shen Hexuan be able to withstand Jiang Lin?
After all, he is still not loyal enough.
Like him, Shen Hexuan was born in a clan with a big family name, and his parents were both deceased. However, he still had grandparents above him, so Shen Hexuan could only live with his uncle and aunt.
When Shen Hexuan leaves the palace this time, he will definitely offend his second uncle. He is not yet an adult, and his second uncle and two aunts are in charge of the family property and his mother's dowry. If he offends his second uncle, where can he get any good results? No way. If you should be so willful, you should be honest for a few years and wait until you reach adulthood to take over the family property.
Will his second uncle take the opportunity to punish Shen Hexuan this time? If he is evil-minded, will he directly use his evil hands to cripple Shen Hexuan in the name of family law?
The more Wang Qi thought about it, the more worried she became. She couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well.
Wang Qi just kept mumbling in front of Dao Chi. The more she kept mumbling, the more she became worried about Shen Hexuan. If it wasn't the end of the month in two days, he might have to ask for leave and leave the house.
The Taoist idiot rolled his eyes when he heard this. If Shen Hexuan's second uncle really wanted to seize Shen Hexuan's family property, would he have allowed him to live safely until he was fifteen? Or even sent him to the palace as a companion?
Today’s companion reading, Tomorrow, the palace will be an official. For those with lofty ambitions, they feel that there is no future. After all, they are all low-level or low-level officials. But even if such people go out, the governor of Anlu does not dare to neglect them. There is no other reason. But behind it is the palace.
Although a prince's official is not able to set foot in the court, it is not difficult to control the rise and fall of a family and a family in the location of the prince's palace. For example, as long as Shen Hexuan becomes a prince's official, his status among the clan will be high. Differently, even the clan leader must be treated politely, because he has become the link between the Shen family and the palace.
The companions sent by the other three families of the fourth surname, except Dao Chi, were all the legitimate sons or grandsons of the patriarch.
Shen Hexuan's second uncle did not send his own son into the palace, but sent his nephew into the palace. It was not easy. He gave his nephew a chance to stand on his own in the clan even without his father and brother to rely on.
How could such a second uncle of the Shen family treat Shen Hexuan as Wang Qi feared?
Wang Qi's eyesight is obscured by a leaf, and people are worried about the sky in vain.
However, Dao Chi did not wake him up, but asked: "What would Seventh Brother do if he went to visit the Shen family and found that Shen Dalang was really bullied by his uncle?"
"What should we do?" Wang Qi said matter-of-factly: "Of course I have to make the decision for Shen Fenghuang. His second uncle is also the leader of the clan, so he has to save face."
Dao Chi said: "When you don't care about family ties, you still want to save face. If face was really that important, there wouldn't be so many lawsuits over property in the yamen."
Wang Qi was silent for a while and said, "What about telling your family?"
The Taoist idiot said: "I beg my great-uncle and eldest cousin? No matter what, it is a domestic matter of the Shen family. Can the Wang family please speak to me?"
Wang Qi was not stupid at all. After hearing this sentence, she immediately lost her confidence and whispered: "What should we do? Please ask the Crown Prince to come forward? No matter how arrogant Second Uncle Shen is, he would not dare to disregard the Crown Prince's face."
Dao Chi said: "The Crown Prince asked to stay three times, but Shen Dalang still chose to leave. Do you think the Crown Prince has no grudges in his heart?"
Wang Qi said excitedly: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Are we going to let Shen Fenghuang be bullied by his uncle and aunt?"
Dao Chi looked at Wang Qi who was so excited and understood. He could tell that the second uncle of the Shen family had no ill intentions towards Shen Hexuan, so why did Wang Qi think the worst? It was not so much that he was worried about Shen Hexuan. , it is better to say that he is worried that he will be bullied in the future.
The third bedroom guarded the clan clan, but Wang Qi was afraid of his uncles and cousins, not knowing that the clan clan had revealed some unkindness in the past.
After living together for two months, Dao Chi realized that although Wang Qi always acted like a big brother and seemed to take care of Dao Chi, he was actually insecure and relied heavily on Dao Chi.
Where does Wang Qi's future lie?
Dao Chi stood up, circled around Wang Qi twice, then pinched his somewhat flabby face and nodded.
Wang Qi was confused by the Taoist idiot, and it took him a while to react. He bared his teeth and said, "Why is Erlang pinching me?"
Dao Chi took two steps towards the door, made sure that no one was around, and whispered to Wang Qi: "Brother Qi, do you think you have the ability to make decisions for Shen Dalang?"
Wang Qi rolled her eyes at him and said: "Isn't this nonsense? As long as I can fill in the palace errands, I can also go to the Shen family to show off my power. It's just that I am still young. If I want to fill the palace errands, it will take at least three or four years. .I’m afraid the day lilies will be cold by then.”
"Does Seventh Brother want to teach Jiang Lin a lesson? Not only will he take revenge for all the suffocation he suffered in the past, but he will also punish him as much as he wants if he doesn't like him?" Dao Chi continued to ask.
Wang Qi did not respond at this time, but stretched out his hand to touch Dao Chi's forehead, and asked doubtfully: "Erlang doesn't have a fever, why are he talking nonsense? In this Anlu world, as long as the palace does not move the feudal vassal, let alone me, I will be the governor. The young master of the family dare not say that he will deal with Jiang Lin."
"If there is a way to make Jiang Lin become a good grandson in front of Seventh Brother, would Seventh Brother want to hear it?" Dao Chi said with a smile.
Wang Qi's eyes flashed and she said: "It goes without saying, I must definitely think about it, Erlang, please tell me?"
The Taoist Chi said: "As long as Brother Qi stops the evening snacks and midnight snacks."
Wang Qi said confusedly: "What does this have to do with dim sum and midnight snacks? Why is Erlang talking so cluelessly?"
The Taoist idiot said: "Seventh brother will slowly lose weight if he stops eating snacks at night... After he loses weight, he will ask his uncle to come out to meet his cousin and find out what the palace is like. Jiang Lin is specifically looking to see if Brother Seventh and Shen Dalang are in conflict.
It’s pleasing to the eye, and it’s obvious that he got some rumors.”
Wang Qi opened her mouth in surprise. After a while, she pointed at Dao Chi and said: "Erlang asked me to be a pretty boy? I...I...can I be a pretty boy?"
The Taoist idiot stretched out his hand, clasped his fingers and said: "The princess's guest of honor, from the second rank, is paid eight hundred shi. Not to mention the governor, even the chief envoy of a province will give you a courtesy when he sees you. There is no need for imperial examination, so don't do it."
It is said that you are a candidate for promotion, or a Jinshi. When the number one scholar is in front of you, you usually have to kneel down and worship. The prince has no brothers. The two princesses are both sisters of the prince. In this Anlu world, the princess is a guest of honor, and the weight is the same as in other places.
The difference cannot be explained by a 'fox pretending to be a tiger'."
Wang Qi was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and said with a bit of unconfidence: "It's not my turn to be the guest of honor, but it's not my turn... Although Prince Xing's Mansion has never chosen a guest of honor, Prince Ying had three princesses back then.
When selecting guests of honor, it was done with great fanfare. More than ten families were selected from the local area, their ancestors were checked, and their family reputations were checked. Finally, the palace interviewed the talents before finalizing the candidates. Among them, Princess Guanghua, the eldest princess,
The chosen guest of honor was an ancestor of the Wang family. According to the genealogy, that ancestor had an outstanding appearance and elegant literary talent. Although no portrait has been handed down, he looked like Shen Fenghuang. I, a crow, stepped forward, wouldn't I be ugly?
How much trouble?"
The Taoist Chi said: "Seventh Brother once mentioned that he often came to the palace in the early years. Seeing that the prince treats Seventh Brother differently, it is obvious that he is familiar with him. I wonder if Seventh Brother is familiar with the third princess?"
Wang Qi said proudly: "Of course we are familiar with each other. Who was Jiang Lin at that time? The third princess ignored him at all and only played with me. If it weren't for this reason, that kid wouldn't regard me as a thorn in his side and always think about it.
bully me."
The Taoist Chi said: "Isn't this the end of the knot? The seventh brother is about the same age as the three princesses, and they are childhood sweethearts. The Wang family is also a well-known family in Anlu, so why can't they be honored guests?"
Wang Qi struggled: "But...but can I do it?"
Dao Chi secretly laughed in his heart, this guy was still excited.
"Little Four" has praised Wang Qi several times, saying that he is honest and kind-hearted. Such praises will never come out without reason, but think about the age of "Little Four" and the
The intersection between Wang Qi and Wang Qi is also limited. Who else could it be?
Having a close clan brother who becomes a guest of honor in Prince Xing's Mansion is another safeguard for Taoist idiots.
It's just that when you are a guest of honor, your father, brother, and younger brother must avoid official positions; when you are a consort, your uncles and cousins have to resign, and they can only stay in Lengyamen.
As a clan brother who has emerged from the fifth server, his career will not be affected at all, but the clan's grandson is afraid that he will be completely wiped out in the officialdom.
But for the Wang family, who can tell whether it is a blessing or a curse.
The second uncle of the clan is now serving as a royal minister in the capital. When Zhengde dies and Jiajing enters the capital, will he get involved in the dispute over "great etiquette"?
Because of his status as the Prince Consort's biological uncle, he might be able to avoid officialdom and avoid misfortune.
Dao Chi lowered his eyes, he was really evil-hearted. But he just made a suggestion. In the end, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is up to the clan master to choose...
