Lord Qing Leng bowed down for me

Chapter 15 A good show

Nothing happened in the embroidery shop, so Shen Zhiyi thought about the unfruitful itinerary that day, what secrets did Longfu Pawnshop have that made them so defensive, and what Jiang Huaice said was related to the secret case of the court, that is, Guang The case of the Pingbu political envoy.

She held her chin, but what she was thinking about was how to investigate the pawn shop again, or let her find out the secret of the pawn shop's transactions.

An hour later, the carriage stopped not far from Longfu Pawnshop. Shen Zhiyi opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the people coming and going. Although the clothes of the people who entered this Longfu Pawnshop were not very rich, they were also It can be seen that the material is very good.

At least not ordinary people can afford to wear them, and these people who come in and out all hold something like a silver ticket in their hands.

If you come to a pawn shop but don't pawn things, why come here, unless it's not for pawning things at all, but for selling stolen goods.

When these two words came to mind, Shen Zhiyi was also surprised, but indeed only this statement is the most powerful. After all, Jiang Huaicai said that Longfu Pawnshop had something to do with the corruption case of Guangping Chief Envoy.

It's just that she remembered that in her previous life, there was no story behind this corruption case. Maybe it was the people behind the scenes who covered the sky with their hands and eyes, and even Jiang Huaize could do nothing about it.

"Girl, it's already noon, shall we go back?"

Seeing that she had been there for a long time, Lumei reminded her in a low voice, Shen Zhiyi withdrew her hand and nodded back to her: "Go back to Shen's residence."

When she left, she glanced at the pawn shop again, and couldn't help sighing a little. The pawn shop was heavily guarded, and she couldn't get in at all. Is there any way to let Mi Qingxu show his feet?
When he returned to Shen's mansion, he saw Shen Shaowei sitting in the main hall, and Shen Zhiyi stepped forward and called out sister.

Shen Shaowei waved her hand to make the housekeeper leave first, and after Shen Zhiyi sat down, she looked at Shen Zhiyi with a smile on her face and asked, "Go to your shop again today?"

"Yes, but why is sister so happy today?"

During this period of time, she was busy with the affairs of Yunxiufang, so she didn't pay attention to many things at home.

Shen Shaowei smiled even more when she heard Shen Zhiyi's words: "Father has been promoted, and the order will come down in about two days. I am naturally happy."

Hearing the promotion, Shen Zhiyi was also shocked. In his previous life, because she married Jiang Huaice, he promoted his father. Otherwise, his father's official position would always be a sixth-rank official. This time, without Jiang Huaice's help, Father actually got promoted?

"Promoted? So suddenly."

"That's right. When my mother told me that day, I was a little surprised. I found out later that it was the Lang Zhong who was the priest of the Ministry of Rites and was transferred to the official office. His lord Shangshu promoted my father."

Shen Shaowei patiently explained to Shen Zhiyi, but a plan slowly rose in Shen Zhiyi's mind. Of course, Mi Qingxu was among his father's colleagues. Why don't we have a good show and let her see the real face of this person.

"Then sister, for such a big happy event as father's promotion, he must have a banquet for his colleagues. Only in this way can he show that his father has not forgotten his original intention. Otherwise, his colleagues would not even hold a banquet when they saw his father's promotion. Tripper, don’t you think so?”

Shen Zhiyi's words are very reasonable. In fact, Shen Shaowei also wanted to mention it to her mother before, but she saw that her mother was still ill and hadn't recovered, so she didn't want to make a big fuss. Now that Shen Zhiyi mentioned it, she felt that if they didn't hold this banquet, it would make their Shen family appear I don't know the etiquette.

"Zhizhi is right, then I will discuss it with my mother later."

Seeing that Shen Shaowei was persuaded by herself, Shen Zhiyi stopped talking, Shen Shaowei stood up and walked in front of her and said: "Tomorrow, let's go together to pick up elder brother home first."

Tomorrow is indeed the holiday of White Deer Academy. Thinking of meeting her elder brother, Shen Zhiyi is also very happy: "But sister, grandma has been in Xiangguo Temple for half a year. Father's promotion is such a great thing, why don't you tell grandma?"

She misses Mrs. Shen in her heart. After all, she was brought up by Mrs. Shen since she was a child. However, when the old lady gets older, she has to live in Xiangguo Temple for a long time every year. This time she has lived here for half a year.

"I have already sent someone to tell my grandma, and my grandma said that there is still a cycle to go before the Buddha ceremony, and let us pick her up after a while."

Thinking of the words that came back that day, Shen Shaowei shook her head helplessly: "I'll go to my mother to discuss the banquet first."

Sending Shen Shaowei away, Shen Zhi thought for a while, then stood up and walked towards Shen Fu's study room, Dayong's morning court is five days off and five days, five days of big court, five days of small court, the grand court requires all officials in Beijing to participate, In Xiaochao, only those officials with rank four or above participated.

Shen Fu finished attending the court today, and at this time he was dealing with some official duties at home.

Hearing a knock on the door outside the study, Shen Fu stopped his movements and let Shen Zhiyi come in. The little girl entered the door and saluted her father and sat aside: "Father, I heard from my sister that my father took over as the official of the Ministry of Rites and the Qing Dynasty. Zhi congratulates his father on his promotion."

Seeing the smile on his daughter's face, Shen Fu couldn't help being happy. After sitting in the position of chief for so long, he was naturally very happy to be promoted.

"It's just your sweet mouth, why did you think of looking for your father today?"

Among his sons and daughters, the eldest son is studying in the academy, the second son is training in the army, the eldest daughter is dignified and respectful and abides by the rules everywhere, so the younger daughter is closer to him. Shen Zhiyi stood up and walked behind his father, pinching his back and acting like a baby .

"It's such a good news about my father's promotion. Elder Sister has already discussed with my mother about hosting a banquet for my father. But I came to see my father when I got the letter."

In fact, she came to tell Shen Fu that the news was false, she came to ensure that Mi Qingxu would definitely come on the day of the banquet.

"Do you want to have a banquet? It's fine."

Shen Fu stroked his beard, pondered and said again: "Then father will write down the banquet list, and you can take it to your mother."

Shen Zhiyi nodded, watching Shen Fu write down the list one by one, but Mi Qingxu was not mentioned here, she asked with some doubts: "Isn't the relationship between father and Mr. Mi always good? This time, Mr. Mi is not invited." ?"

Seeing Shen Zhiyi mentioning Mi Qingxu, Shen Fu showed embarrassment and explained: "Oh, this position should belong to Mr. Mi, but I never thought it would fall to me. I was afraid that Mr. Mi would be dissatisfied."

"Father's words are wrong. Mr. Mi has been your friend for many years. If you don't invite him at that time, won't you feel dissatisfied?"

Shen Zhiyi persuaded Shen Fu, it seems that the problem between his father and Mi Qingxu in the previous life was in this position, but it was not the father who was promoted in the previous life, but Mi Qingxu, so Mi Qingxu's vote for the person behind it was father?
It's just that she has never been able to figure out why her father, a sixth-rank official, is worth such a lot of calculations. The rebels said that it was his father who did something he shouldn't do for Jiang Huaice, but now it seems that the truth of the matter The truth is much more than that.

Behind the treason case in the previous life, I'm afraid not only the Shen family was involved.

Only when she finds the truth can she make arrangements first, so that she won't be caught off guard, Shen Zhiyi sighed in her heart, the road ahead is long and long.

After finishing all this, when she returned to Chunyu Courtyard, Shen Zhiyi looked at the withered crabapple tree in the yard. She liked all kinds of flowers and plants since she was a child, and this crabapple tree in the yard was cultivated by herself.

It was exactly the same as the one planted in the Qiongzhi Courtyard in the previous life. At that time, she thought that Jiang Huaize would be very happy to see the pink and white crabapple flowers when he came home, but he never cared about those.

She and Jiang Huaice had a wrong name. Shen Zhiyi originally thought that if he married her as his wife, he would like her somewhat in his heart, but he didn't expect that after marriage, his attitude would always be neither cold nor cold. Bit by bit, all her love was wiped away.

"Lumei, let someone cut down this tree later, and replace it with something else."

Looking back, Shen Zhiyi opened the door and entered the room, he should cut off all the fronts and live a good life.
