surnamed Wang

Chapter 305 Paving the Way
In the early morning, Wang Gangquan woke up from his sleep, and subconsciously touched his side, but there was no one there.

"Where did you go this morning?"

Wang Gingquan muttered something and sat up.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and Xiao Chunzi came in from the outside with a basin of water, and said:

"Your Highness, it's late now, it's already time."

"Is it so late?"

Wang Gingquan was a little stunned. Before in Longqi Bay, he would get up before dawn and go out to sea after just two mouthfuls of food. He didn't expect to become lazy again after only a few days back.

After he finished washing and while he was getting dressed, Xiao Chunzi said:

"Your Highness, Mr. Shen came early in the morning, and I have been waiting for this meeting for half a morning."

"What is he doing?"

"It is said that I owe His Highness a generous gift."

……

In the front hall of the palace, Shen Qianqiu had been sitting for two hours, the maid at the side refilled him with tea, the scholar's buttocks were numb and he didn't have the nerve to move.

Taking advantage of the time when the palace maid went to change the water, Mr. Shen hurriedly stood up and rubbed his buttocks, but it happened to be so small that Wang Gingquan who just rushed over saw him.

"Master Shen, this is...?"

The two accompanied each other all the way to the capital, and it wasn't the first time that Wang Gangquan watched each other rub his ass, and every time they sneaked around, as if there was something unspeakable.

Shen Qianqiu blushed and said with a little embarrassment:
"I'm numb."

"Young people should know how to control themselves."

Shen Qianqiu uttered an inexplicable sentence, and sat down on the side. Young Master Shen suddenly realized that he was still savoring the meaning.

"Da Chunzi, he's going to get a cushion. It's very convenient for Pan Ziqian these days."

"Hey!" Da Chunzi was also serious, and turned around to leave.

Seeing this, Mr. Shen hurriedly stopped him:

"Use it or use it, what is there is convenient."

After speaking, to show his innocence, he sat on his buttocks directly.

"I heard that he prepared a generous gift for you?" Shen Qianqiu said straight to the point.

Mr. Shen nodded quickly when he heard the words, took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over, saying:

"That's your Shen family's property deed in Jiangdong, and it's counted as a thank you gift and an apology to the prince."

Zeng Dongce took the envelope with a half-smile, but did not open it. After a little kneading, he lost his composure, and said with a heavy smile:

"It seems that the Shen family did spend a lot of money in the court in those years?"

Mr. Shen showed embarrassment and said:

"The Shen family is indeed as small as it is now. It's enough to invite the prince. The Shen family doesn't have a few shops in the capital. In the past, they would give a fairly generous red envelope every year."

The corners of Shen Qianqiu's mouth curled up slightly, he pushed back the envelope, and then said in the suspicious eyes of the other party:
"If this king wants those, should he tickle his fingers cautiously, or should there be no one else rushing to give them away?
Moreover, there are so few corrupt officials in the court, and if one is carefully picked out, it will cost tens of millions. Is this king going to take the lifeblood of our Shen family? "

"What the prince said is very true, it is short-sighted."

Mr. Shen took back the envelope awkwardly, and was about to say a few words of gratitude when the other party continued:

"Furthermore, if you want their land, do you still use the land deed? This is the same sentence, Pan Ziqian is sober!"

It was after Mr. Shen came to his senses that Da Chunzi on the side first burst out laughing. Zeng Dongce glanced at me and said:

"Let's go prepare meals and listen to the cross talk?"

"Oh."

……

Before Da Chunzi left, Shen Qianqiu lay down on the back of the chair again, picked up the tea and blew heavily, and said:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Mr. Shen was surprised first, then smiled wryly and answered truthfully:

"Go back to your lord, I want to join Enke."

"why?"

Shen Qianqiu took a sip of tea, and raised his eyelids, as if he hadn't expected it.

Mr. Shen said slowly:
"My lord also knows that the Shen family spent a lot of money paving a road in the middle of the court for the sake of Zhongxing, but the people in the family pave the way, after all, it's as good as their own people.

There is no cousin in the upper class, she is gentle and virtuous, and her appearance is also like that of a subordinate. The family has no intention of marrying you, and the other party is the son of a certain minister. "

Mr. Shen said this, with a slightly bitter tone, and Shen Qianqiu was puzzled when he saw this:
"Is that good? The man from the Shen family married into the family of a seventh-rank member, so it's considered low-level, right?"

The bitterness on Shen Gongzi's face became even worse, and he said:

"This son has a very bad reputation, but he goes in and out of romantic places all day long, and he is extremely violent and perverted, killing the master if he agrees with him. Moreover, the cousin married in the past is not a regular wife, but a weaker than the master. How many concubines.

It is said that she is marrying into a wealthy family, but it is actually different from Longtan and Tiger's Den. If Shen ruins his cousin's life for his own future, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life. "

"He said that Mr. Shangshu is called Zhu Xingyuan?" Shen Qianqiu asked suddenly.

"How does the prince know?" Mr. Shen looked surprised.

Shen Qianqiu smiled and shook his head, explaining:
"In the entire capital circle, no one may have heard of Zhu Xingyuan, but there are some people who know 'Brother Zhu'. Among the low-class children in the capital, there are many who sleep in flowers and sleep in willows, but there is only one, Mr. Zhu, who won the prize." Zeng Dong's nickname."

That Mr. Zhu, who knows how to be restrained at all, has provoked the brother Wang, and the officials who have been in no place know the inside story. They want to cling to the notorious Mr. Shang Shu, and sacrifice their own wife. , the entire mansion from bottom to top, including the servants and servants, more than a dozen people have infected Brother Wang.

Before the news spread, the friends of Mr. Zhu became more and more rare, and even the wine and meat friends kept a respectful distance from me, for fear of being tricked.

It was because Shen Qianqiu dared to tell Mr. Shen about those things, because just the seven words "Brother Wang" already made that young talent pale.

……

"Are there other candidates besides me?" Shen Qianqiu continued to ask.

Mr. Shen shook his head, "There isn't even a Pingzhang government official who is nearly ten years old, saying that he is willing to add another house."

"Old Lu?"

Mr. Shen didn't even feel surprised that time, but just nodded.

Shen Qianqiu couldn't help laughing, there is an abnormal person in the co-author?
"The dynasty has always emphasized literature and restrained martial arts. The Shen family's martial arts are fair, but their literary skills are not good enough. The meaning of the family is that even if a few important clan members are sacrificed, they will help you go down."

When Mr. Shen said that, he seemed to think of something, his gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Shen Qianqiu and said:

"My lord, if you dislike me, why don't you let my younger sister be your concubine?"

"Fuck off!"

Zeng Dongce first cursed with a smile, then looked inside relaxedly, and said loudly:

"Don't let the princess listen to those words for a while, otherwise you will keep him."

Mr. Shen nodded calmly, and said fiercely before recovering for a while:
"Actually, it's all because of that. Even if you go for the exam, other children outside the family will still go. It's just that you are really condemned in your heart, and Shen really feels that if you follow the prince, you will be even more useless. "

Since the next time Shen Qianqiu came to show his authority, Mr. Shen admired that prince from the bottom of his heart.My ancestors have spent their whole lives in the camp, and their minds are already demonic, but in the end, the prince in his early seventies can see the depth at a glance, so how can I be frightened.

Shen Qianqiu put the teacup in her hand, and bluntly said:
"This king made friends with Pan Ziqian because he was interested in his abilities. If he is going to participate in Enke, what is the use of this king keeping him? Does he have room to bargain now?"

Shen Qianqiu's words wiped out the last trace of luck in Zeng Dongce's heart, and the scholar's face was bitter when he heard the words, and he was arrogant.

"Yes, you can promise him that if he can win eight yuan in a row, this king was the backer of the Shen family before, and his cousin needs to marry Brother Zhu.

And if his cousin is really incompetent, this king would also mind introducing me to your father-in-law. "

"Dare to ask the prince's Mount Tai?"

"General Zhenyuan, Yan Jun."

Mr. Shen's original gloomy complexion gradually recovered, and no matter how rough he was, he showed that invaluable scholar into obedience.

I quickly got up, raised my back, and knelt down behind Shen Qianqiu.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!"

A loud knock on the ground.

"Get up."

……

The two sat down again, Zeng Dongce stepped up firmly, and asked:

"Dare to ask the prince, why do you value the gentleman so much?"

Shen Qianqiu said without thinking:

"There is no way for the emperor to take turns to sit. When he comes to your house next year, he will be the chief minister of the previous dynasty."

"..."

Even though he was used to that prince's cowardice, Mr. Shen still kept silent.

Just then, a man stepped back from inside.

"The one surnamed Wang, no one is looking for it inside."

It's a question, the whole palace can talk to me in that tone, except for Jiang Xiucheng, the Princess of Donghan who has no eyes.

As a scholar, Jiang Xiucheng didn't have the awareness to rely on others, but the man in front of him was the same, and seeing Shen Qianqiu afterward was quite unusual, but since I came back this time, every time I met, I always met him with a fierce look. .

Shen Qianqiu was also puzzled, because he knew how he had offended you, so he could only say something to himself, only men and adults are difficult to raise.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still said politely on the surface:
"May I ask if there is no taboo to register yourself?"

"I said my surname is Pan."

After Chu Waixia finished speaking, he turned his head and left, as if it would be dirty to say a word to the other party, if it was because of the knowledgeable woman at the door, you wouldn't even bother to pass on that message.

Zeng Dongce at the side showed surprise, secretly guessing who the man was, who dared to talk to the prince like that.

"He'll wait there first, come as you go."

Shen Qianqiu gave an order to Mr. Shen who was still thinking, got up and walked towards the mansion.

Even though I guessed Xiaogai out of my mind, when I saw Wang Gangquan standing at the door with two donkeys, I was still stunned.

"Hua Liu, see you in a long time."

Zeng Dongce squeezed out a smile.

Only then did Zeng Dongce come to his senses, and hastily greeted him and said:
"He sees him, so come here, what gift do you bring? See you, yes!"

As he spoke, he yelled to the royal family:
"Notify the kitchen to eat donkey meat hot pot tonight."

The donkey had expected that it would score seven goals, so it narrowed its eyes and opened its mouth to break free from the rope to bite Zeng Dongce, but was pushed down to the ground by the other party.

……

For lunch, Zeng Dongce specially set up a table in the back hall.

There were seven people at the table, apart from Zeng Dongce and Wang Bingquan, Mr. Shen was also retained, and there was no Liu Luming who was specially called here.

Originally, Zeng Dongce wanted to ask Jiang Xiucheng to go with him, but he guessed that next time the eldest son would be less stimulated, and he would be studying outside the house, and he would come out if he said anything.

There was a table for four immortals in the hall, and a hot pot in the middle of the table was steaming. Wang Gingquan brought two fat donkeys to hook Zeng Dongce's greedy worms out, but he said that they were slaughtered, so Zeng Dongce had to send someone to the market to buy some. A catty of donkey meat satisfies hunger.

Stuffing a piece of donkey meat that was just cooked out of his mouth, Shen Qianqiu asked:
"Brother Pan, why did he suddenly go to the capital for a reason, did he figure it out?"

What Shen Qianqiu said about thinking through, naturally refers to the finance minister.

Wang Gingquan shook his head, and said with a smile on his face:
"Your Majesty has arrested your father and has been talking about how to deal with it. If you are really worried, then you have to leave Beijing."

Shen Qianqiu frowned, "Nothing?"

Liu Luming on the side grabbed a bunch of meat and stuffed it out of his mouth, chewing while interjecting:
"Does Hualiu know about that? It's been half a month since the news spread in the capital."

Shen Qianqiu showed embarrassment, "I was too busy when I came back, I have time to inquire, you will leave the palace with him after dinner."

"That matter is still troublesome for Zeng Dong..."

Just as Zeng Dongce was about to resign, Shen Qianqiu directly interrupted:

"He already called you Hualiu. There's no reason to be a brother. And you retired from the palace because of him. You don't have any accounts with me on Wang Bingde's side. If you're lucky, it's guaranteed to be Qi's father." It was released today."

The other two were puzzled when they heard the words, but Mr. Shen's face changed dramatically when he didn't know the truth. I quickly raised my head and pretended to hear nothing.

The scene of leaving the palace at that time is still vivid in my mind, now that the period of eight days has come, is that prince really going to kill the current emperor?
……

After lunch, Shen Qianqiu didn't believe his words, and directly left the palace with Wang Gangquan, the other two really found a common topic, said goodbye to each other, and went back to their respective homes.

The seven of Shen Qianqiu walked along the street, Wang Bingquan glanced at the short sword on the other side's waist, and said without doubt:
"Hua Liu, with his sword, can he get back to the palace?"

Shen Qianqiu smiled slightly, "He will know in a while."

Very slowly, the seven people came to the palace gate, not a hundred steps away from the palace gate, Zeng Dongce stopped, and under Zeng Dongce's astonished gaze, he drew out his slender dagger and threw it directly into the air.

Before the sword was thrown into the sky, it seemed to be pulled by a tangible force, and it swept away obliquely, and there was a shadow after a while.

"Don't be dazed, let's go."

After Shen Qianqiu finished speaking, she took the lead to walk towards the palace gate.

Wang Gangquan scratched his head, thinking it was some new type of trick, and followed closely behind.

Zou Shun was still guarding the gate of the palace, and I saw Zeng Dongce's scabbard hanging on his waist at a glance, and opened my mouth to speak but stopped.

Shen Qianqiu glanced at me, "Why, is there no rule in the palace that Xu wears a scabbard?"

Zou Shun smiled awkwardly, "There is also that rule."

Shen Qianqiu snorted hotly, and directly stepped over the threshold.

The seven walked for a long time, and there was me again after seven weeks. Shen Qianqiu pointed directly at the air, and the short sword circled in the air one after another, and then reinserted it into the scabbard, but King Pan was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out. underground.

Shen Qianqiu went straight to the imperial study room, seven people were about to knock on the door, when Qi Zhou suddenly surrounded a small group of soldiers, the leader was an old man who claimed to be a sword fairy.

Shen Qianqiu looked at it with keen eyes, but did not speak, and put his fingers directly on the hilt of the sword. Ye Jian's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he was eager to try.

At that moment, Emperor Shun's voice came from inside the house:
"Come on, let me back."
