"You said just now, this incident has brought your second sister's heart to you?" Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stop the chopsticks in his hand. "Even if Shen Yingbai is a business genius, he is... a widower."

Xiaoxiao is not used to saying these two words, but Shen Yingbai is the one who has died of his wife, and what if he is not a widower?

And Dan Tai Shaoyao is the legitimate daughter of the Dan Tai family and is beautiful, so it is impossible for her to be her second wife.

After hearing the words of Xiaoxiao, Tan Tai Furong shook her head slightly: "There is no way. Shen Yingbai's reputation in the business district of Kyoto is too great. Needless to mention the first successor, even if he is a second or third term, these Kyoto daughters will flock to him."

"I have two or three more people, look at your mouth!" Xiaoxiao had heard his grandmother tell the story of the eldest son of the Shen family. Even his father Tang Qifan praised him. After all, he not only expanded the Shen family's Liuli business, but also gained the trust of the royal family. Such a thing that is the best of both worlds is rare in ancient and modern times.

"The Shen family is the first royal merchant. Among the glass merchants in Kyoto, only the Shen family is allowed to sell glass to other countries. This alone is the honor that has been cultivated in several lifetimes! Just imagine, who can have such a unique preferential treatment for us who make jewelry, silk and garments?" Dan Tai Furong finished her breakfast and rinsed her mouth with tea.

So that's it. The Shen family, the royal merchant, can make foreign exchange for their own country. They are considered national entrepreneurs. No wonder they can be valued by the royal family so much.

Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice: "The wealth obtained from the export of these glasses must be shared with the palace as well."

"I don't know what's going on here, I think this is what it should be." Dan Tai Furong didn't think too much, and still felt that the Shen family's uncle was clever.

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think: It was to create foreign exchange for the country, but if you look closely, it was clearly a business partnership with the emperor. The imperial dynasty is not as modern as it is now the emperor's. How could he share wealth with others?

For a moment, I felt that I was too careful. The technique of making glazed glass was originally from the Shen family. And Shen Yingbai also presented the manufacturing technology to the court, so he obtained this plaque of "The First Family of Glazed Glazed" that I was given. This move was considered to have broken arms to survive. Such a person who knew the current affairs would not kill him.

The two left the dining table together, and it was still early, and Dan Tai Furong wanted to see if the peonies in the garden were blooming, and Xiaoxiao happily accompanied her.

The two of them had already put on their school skirts, put on their backpacks, went to the front yard to say goodbye to Fanshan's mother, and then walked out of the Zhuli Pavilion and headed towards the peony garden south of the west garden.

It was the first time Dan Tai Furong came, so she felt fresh everywhere she went. At this time, she was walking through a moon gate woven by a wisteria flower waterfall: "Your garden is not inferior to that golden garden!"

Xiaoxiao shook his head slightly: "My grandfather would never let the peaches like the Jin family. Now my grandparents' yard looks like a farmer."

"That's the heart of returning to the farm. When it comes to the garden, it will be full of charm." Dantai Furong walked happily by the river beach, looking at the bushes of purple calamus by the river. "Those jade calamus flowers are beautiful! I still can't tell the jade calamus flowers, calamus flowers, swallow flowers, and iris!"

Xiaoxiao replied seriously: "Actually, these belong to iris. Among them are divided into those with attachments and without attachments. It is too complicated and I can't tell the difference between the Qing Dynasty!"

Dan Tai Furong heard it and couldn't understand what the attachment in Xiaoxiao's mouth meant. Seeing a few tall and lush Guanshan cherry trees planted in front of her, she couldn't help but say, "Do you like early cherry or late cherry?"

"I remember that Ruicai and Nishiko both like early cherry blossoms. When I was young, I also like early cherry blossoms, but now I can't explain them clearly. I just feel that there is a different kind of magnificence in it." Xiaoxiao looked up at these layers of light pink flowers, and unconsciously remembered a layered princess dress from later generations.

"I have always liked evening cherry blossoms." Dan Tai Furong smiled and pinched two more flowers from the branch. She was about to put them on her head when she realized that there were already two hairpins on her head.

"You are very suitable for the gorgeousness of the evening cherry blossoms."

"I'm not all for this gorgeousness, but more for the long flowering period." Dan Tai Furong said it very clearly. "The early cherry blossoms are only five or six days old, and they bloom and fall one after another. Those who appreciate early cherry blossoms are better than saying that they are enjoying the falling flowers! Evening cherry blossoms are different. Sometimes they can bloom for nearly a month, and they always have a calm posture and rarely fall."

"You are really worthy of being the daughter of a businessman!" Xiaoxiao felt that what Dan Tai Furong said was very reasonable.

Dan Tai Furong looked up again at the big sycamore trees in the distance. At this moment, they were covered with purple clouds, and two snow-white trees were mixed in, adding layers to the color of the flower: "In terms of flowering period, the sycamore trees are longer, at least for more than a month! And even the petals do not fly, each falling thickly, and you can cook with honey~"

"The red leaves are gone and the wind is gone, and only the tung flowers cannot fly." Xiaoxiao unconsciously remembered the poems of his predecessors. After the explanation of the lotus just now, the sycamore flowers have their own posture.

Dan Tai Furong has never heard of this poem: "Sometimes I envy you, those who are well-read, can recite two poems on the spot whenever you see any sweet scenery~"

Xiaoxiao couldn't stand her praise, so she turned her head and said, "In fact, the tung flowers in ancient poems do not refer to sycamore flowers. It may also be tung flowers, and that kind of flowers cannot fly."

"In this way, there are many ancient poems that describe thorn flowers. It turns out that thorn flowers have so many meanings." Dan Tai Furong has always been afraid of studying these trivial things, but when talking about thorn flowers, I remembered that when I was a child, my second sister joked about thorn flowers, saying that this kind of flower also has an elegant name called "dog-headed thorn flowers". Now that I think about it, it is really full of malice.

"Even if I go back tomorrow, I will ignore her again!"

Xiaoxiao didn't understand why Furong suddenly said something stupid, but she quickly understood what she meant: "You will go back tomorrow? Why are you so anxious?"

"I'm not worried about our old lady. My life in my boudoir is not left for a few years. It's important to spend more time with my grandmother!" Dan Tai Furong was a little moved when she mentioned her grandmother. After all, she grew up with him. "As for my second sister... When Mrs. Shen goes to my house today, she will be beautiful."

"how?"

"Mrs. Shen must be for her second son, that Shen Paigo, who really deserves his name, is accustomed to following the crowd, and is also willing to mess with those playboys. He has pursued many girls in business districts, sometimes for beauty, sometimes for family business, and sometimes for a bet." Dan Tai Furong talked about these business district children, and was often washed by her second sister at the beginning.

"How do you know that Mrs. Chen is for her second son?" Xiaoxiao was too lazy to say the word "parrot". He always thought that parrot was quite cute, and was suddenly compared to such a boring playboy. The parrot expressed his grievance.

"Shen Yingbai was interested in talent like Xue Hui at the beginning. What did my second sister compare with others? In terms of mind, practice, or life?" Dan Tai Furong said and laughed, "She can't compare to others either!"

The topic was inexplicably returned to Xue Hui, and Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say, "Senior Xue has given birth to the first child, and the second child should not be difficult to give birth."

"That's right? I heard that I was invited to the imperial delivery nanny this time. It was considered that the royal family valued the identity of the Shen family as the royal merchant and gave it a special reward. Who knew that the Shen family was so blessed?" Dan Tai Furong sighed softly.

"Then you left, is it a male fetus?"

"You guessed it's true, I heard it's just a male child."

Xiaoxiao's heart trembled for a moment. Although he was not good at engaging in the evil thoughts of the back house, he couldn't help but think about it when it came to the cooperation with the royal family. If it were a conspiracy theory, maybe the royal family didn't want the Shen family to stand up too early.

Once Shen Yingbai has children, he will naturally teach his son to do business step by step. If the child has parents like Shen Yingbai and Xue Hui, his IQ will definitely be fine. If he is well-educated, he will definitely be able to stand up early. At that time, the Shen family will be full and prosperous. In addition, he is an imperial merchant, so he will definitely have a staggered relationship with the business circle and the official circle and even the palace. It seems that the emperor is unwilling to see such a giant appear too early.

Xiaoxiao still can’t figure out many things. Even if the Shen family’s wings grow hard in the future, they will be so difficult to uproot a Kyoto businessman with the power of the current emperor? It’s worth using this despicable way to get rid of the back home?!

Or maybe the mastermind of this matter is not the emperor, but someone around the emperor. The Shen family may have violated the interests of this person? Xiaoxiao dared not think deeper. Although this is the Shen family's business, wouldn't the merchants in Kyoto touch the whole body?

Xiaoxiao is now only hoping that the emperor can approve his grandfather's request. His grandfather tried to resign from his status as a few years ago, and refused the court's arrangement to "son inherit his father's business" on the grounds that his descendants each have their own careers.

For this reason, most of the other couples in the Tang family were dissatisfied, thinking that their grandfather gave up the fat meat that was so good, especially the fifth uncle, who even thought of recommending himself to the court. When his grandfather heard about this, he almost knocked him to death. Uncle Wu dared not mention it.

Xiaoxiao took a breath and felt that his breathing was getting even: the imperial merchant sounded decent, but it turned out to be a dance stepping on the steel wire.

"It's really worthy of being a rare peony garden!" Dan Tai Furong exclaimed.

Xiaoxiao then realized that he and Furong had arrived at the Peony Garden without realizing it. At this time, some of the newly blooming peony flowers were already there. Xiaoxiao knew Yujinhuang, Ou Bi, and another kind of purple and white Erqiao Peony. I don’t know what it was called.

"I'm really strange. There are so many peony flowers in your family, why don't you hold a peony flower banquet?" Dan Tai Furong asked, and then said to Xiaoxiao: "Your family is not a girl who is not married, an unmarried young master. It is logical that it should hold a flower banquet?"

"Who knows what the elders think? We juniors are not easy to ask."

Dan Tai Furong frowned: "As long as I can remember, your Tang family has never held a flower banquet! There is obviously such a big garden and such good flowers, why not hold a flower banquet?!"

"It was probably my grandfather's intention to return to the farm. He didn't want to add this fun." Xiaoxiao said a few words, but he knew in his heart that the Tang family was trying hard to restrain their sharpness. First, they were unwilling to attract attention. The second reason was probably that only Xiaoxiao and his grandparents knew about it - naturally because of Shunhua.

If banquets are held frequently, guests will definitely notice the Shunhua Building. Even if there is a reason for a lady as a guise, after a long time, people can't help but guess. No matter what kind of rumors are, they will not benefit the Tang family.

Therefore, even if the Tang family held weddings, they would open the main hall door and only held banquets in Ruiyang Hall and Ruiyun Hall, and almost no doors to the back garden were opened.

Xiaoxiao sometimes cruelly hopes that the emperor should forget Shunhua quickly, and it is best to walk ahead of Shunhua and never remember her at the last moment... In this way, this dangerous line can be completely broken.
