When Yan Shiyue heard that he wanted to marry Shen Hongdou, she was surprised. She immediately thought of countless stories about fate and destiny, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Finally, hearing him talk about the past... Yan Shiyue was speechless.
It doesn’t feel romantic at all!
But think about it again, careful consideration is the mainstream wedding thought in this era. Just like Ren Dong, isn't he quite happy now?
But she still asked him: "Then do you like her?"
Ding Jiu was serious, but his face turned red quietly: "Ding Jiu is the master who makes the decision."
Okay, just because of Shen Hongdou's beautiful face, she probably won't like her.
Yan Shiyue went back to her house and asked Shen Hongdou, "Are you sure? After your father comes back, he will be able to choose a suitable husband for you. You don't have to wait any longer?"
Shen Hongdou saluted: "Hongdou has thought everything through. In Hongdou's heart, staying with His Highness is the best choice... After meeting Mr. Ding, Hongdou felt even more unexpected."
She lowered her head shyly.
Yan Shiyue looked at her red ears. Her words were at least 50% sincere, and she nodded: "That's fine."
She sent someone to invite Shen Rong.
At this time, Shen's father, Shen Yu, had returned to the capital. After reporting on his duties, he was admitted to the Ministry of Personnel, which was the real power department.
But they still need to go back to Chenzhou for delivery. At this time, they are still in the newly purchased house. The father and son are talking, and the people from the palace have arrived.
Shen Yu said: "As a father, I will go with you and thank you Prime Minister."
So the two of them went together, and when they met and bowed, Yan Shiyue said, "I happen to have something to talk to you about. It would be better if my uncle comes back."
Shen Yu stood up in a hurry and even said he didn't dare.
Yan Shiyue knew that there was a big difference in status, so he stopped being polite and said, "That's what happened. There is a man named Ding Jiu next to me, who has been helping me take care of Yue Fang. I accidentally met Hong Dou'er... You Xin What do you think about asking for marriage?"
She paused and added: "If you don't want to, you don't have to force it."
Shen Yu was a little surprised at first.
But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this was a good marriage.
He values reality more than reputation.
It sounds like Ding Jiu is just Yan Shiyue's subordinate, but Yan Shiyue has never treated Ding Jiu and Ding Xiaoyan as subordinates. They treat them like family friends, and Ding Jiu manages Yuefang for Yan Shiyue! This is What is the concept?
Compared with marrying a son of a well-known family, this is how he truly became His Highness Fuyan's "family member"!
Shen Yu saluted without hesitation: "Hongdou's life was saved by the Prime Minister, but it is up to the Prime Minister to make the final decision on this matter! I am very grateful, and I did not force myself at all. I am happy to see the outcome."
Yan Shiyue nodded.
The two sides exchanged a few words, and then Yan Shiyue let the father and daughter talk.
After Shen Yu asked, it turned out that this was Hongdou's own decision, and he boldly went to find Ding Jiu himself. He couldn't help but feel helpless and lucky at the same time.
It's rare that the Prime Minister didn't care about it, and gave them enough face, and also gave Hongdou enough face, and took the matter on the "man". It sounds much better to say it like this.
So the matter was settled.
Then Ding Jiu bought another house near the house where he lived and quietly sent over the house deed.
The house he could buy was of course in a better location than the one Shen Rong could buy, and could be lived in with a little maintenance. Shen Rong was not pretentious, thanked him, and resold the house he had just bought.
Everyone knew that the Shen family was in love with the prime minister. Although they laughed behind their backs at the fact that their cousin's daughter married a servant, they were not unenvious in their hearts.
From Princess Jiahui's point of view, this was a provocation to her. But she didn't have the confidence to care about it.
Shen Yu went to Chenzhou again and again and moved his family back.
After coming back and taking care of things here, he first went to the palace to meet Yan Shiyue.
When I arrived, I happened to meet Huo Qijing and others going to court. Seeing him coming, I invited him to eat together.
Shen Yu himself is a little funny.
If it had been anyone else, he would never have come to visit at this time, and if it had been anyone else, he would have definitely invited him to the living room and study, served tea, and exchanged serious greetings. However, the palace never did this to acquaintances, and it made people feel uncomfortable. Feeling at ease.
He really thanked him and sat down. When he finished eating, Yan Shiyue asked: "Master Shen, come here, is there something wrong?"
Shen Yu pondered: "I don't know if Xianguan is overthinking this matter. When Xianguan returned to Chenzhou, he met someone selling a kind of fluffy cotton robe. There were also rumors that it came from the Ministry of Commerce. Xianguan originally also I never cared about it, but when I inquired about it, I found out that the person selling it was from Princess Jiahui, so I felt a little strange, why was she selling the items from the Ministry of Commerce?"
He only said the beginning, and Yan Shiyue raised his eyebrows.
In fact, just before he came, Qu Sinian had just told her something.
There is a workshop in Jizhou that makes another kind of textile machine.
At that time, she considered leaving a livelihood for some little weaver girls, so she deliberately made the spindles of the textile machines different from those of the sewing machines, and this workshop made the same ones.
The Ministry of Commerce's textile looms are prohibited from being counterfeited, but he did not copy them, but underwent some modifications. This modification, on the surface, seems to be beneficial, but it is difficult for everyone to understand the considerations of the superiors. So it cannot be light or serious.
It has not been made public at this time, and Yan Shiyue has not yet decided what to do.
Just when Shen Yu mentioned this, she asked: "Have you seen this robe?"
Shen Yu was thoughtful in his work and said hurriedly: "I'll bring you something."
I asked someone to bring it up, and when I put it in my hand, it was extremely heavy. It was slightly gritty when I pinched it, and I could even pinch the hard hair roots. It was obvious that they knew what was happening and didn't know why. They stuffed it with goose down like cotton. Full.
Yan Shiyue said to the outside: "Go and check!"
The shadow guard left in response, and she glanced at Qu Sinian again. Qu Sinian had already stood up just now, and hurried away.
Shen Yu coughed lightly and looked at her.
Yan Shiyue said: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for speaking in time. Otherwise, I would have made a joke."
She asked someone to bring over a robe: "This is what the Ministry of Commerce wants to do."
As soon as Shen Yu took it, it was very light and soft, completely different from the one he brought.
Yan Shiyue said: "I will give this one to Mr. Shen so that you can wear it under your official robe."
Now that the weather is getting cold, she first made a batch of sleeveless down jackets with straight collars and double breasts, with slits under the armpits, and a thin layer that can be worn under official robes. When the weather gets colder, Make another down robe.
But I didn't expect that someone would actually dare to cut off her beard. Let's cut it off. I haven't checked clearly yet. Obviously, I didn't consider the fluffiness or use a down filling machine, so I just stuffed it in.
If she doesn't clean it up, she won't be able to thank God for sending it in such a timely manner!
After sending Shen Yu away, the following news was also reported one after another.
Princess Jiahui bribed the people at the farm and found out that she wanted to use goose and duck down to make clothes, so she wanted to get ahead of her and make money, which also made her disgusted.
But I don’t know why, instead of choosing Chang’an City, I chose Chenzhou, Jinzhou, Luozhou and other places. It is said that I worked hard and made thousands of pieces, which have been sold for nearly ten days.
Yan Shiyue lowered his head and ordered: "Give the newly made batch of down jackets to all officials above the fourth rank according to their stature, and let them wear them when they go to court tomorrow morning."
Then he ordered someone to speak to Emperor Chengsheng.
So a group of officials gathered a cotton-padded jacket late at night.
Although I don’t think such a small thing can be very warm, but I’m going to wear it anyway, so I’ll wear it...
The next day, it was really cold. This thin layer was as light as wearing no clothes. I didn't expect that it was really warm when I put it on. As expected, there is nothing bad about anything that the prime minister made.
As a result, when they arrived at court, Yan Shiyue stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I want to file a complaint against the imperial court. I want to file a lawsuit against Princess Jiahui for infringing on imperial power and seeking to seize the treasury!"
Everyone: "..."
Sure enough, the Prime Minister will not go to court if nothing happens, but he will cause trouble when he goes to court! (To be continued)
