Shen Fu's voice was hoarse, filled with despair and helplessness.
Shen Que took back his hand, clenched it into a fist and asked, "Dad, have you thought about it?"
Shen Fu drank the medicine slowly and then nodded firmly.
"Are you willing, Dad? Let go of everything you have now."
She took the medicine bowl and handed over the prepared plums.
Shen Fu shook his head: "I am not a child. I have to eat plums after drinking medicine. This kind of life does not belong to us. Dad is not feeling well, and you are also wronged."
Shen Que lowered his head and smiled, picked up a plum and put it into his mouth.
"We are asking for trouble. It's all my fault, Dad." Shen Fu watched his daughter eating plums one after another like she did when she was a child.
Shen Que loves to eat these sour and sweet snacks, but because of her bad teeth, her teeth are sore and painful every time she eats them and she can't eat, so Shen Fu always doesn't let her eat them.
"Eat less and be careful with your teeth."
He couldn't help but tell his daughter, "It would be good to live back to the old days. Dad originally wanted to make more contributions. This is also the ancestral motto of the Shen family. Don't be greedy for money and be stingy, and do charity widely. But, oh, it's dad. You overestimate yourself. After all, you still have no experience, so you shouldn’t be so ambitious and obsessed with it.”
After Shen Que ate three plums, he finally felt that his craving was relieved and stopped eating.
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Do you have a place you want to go?" Shen Fu asked, "My father has nothing to ask for. As long as you are happy and can do what you like, my father will support you. We will continue to protect our own home as we did in the past." One-third of an acre is enough.”
Shen Que thought for a while and said, "My father likes to travel, so let's go visit famous mountains and rivers first, and see if there is anything we can do in the south. Before that, I have to do my job well."
She counted on her fingers: "The female student must make preparations quickly. She has learned a lot about the business in the shop. I think it will be okay to leave the rest to her management. There are still a few villages and fields, and then Just run around and take a look.”
Shen Fu nodded, "It seems that you really don't want to stay here anymore."
Yes, does she really not want to stay here? Shen Que thought about it seriously and felt that it was inevitable. If she had the opportunity to go out for a walk now, it would be very exciting.
"Then, Dad, you should take good care of yourself. When you recover, my daughter will take you out to relax."
A smile finally appeared on Shen Fu's face: "Yes, my father took you out when you were a child. Now that Yuanyuan has grown up, you can take your father out."
The father and daughter were chatting and laughing, and a ray of sunshine from the window came in, illuminating the world.
In the next few days, Shen Fu's spirit improved significantly, and he actively recovered from his injuries. He was looking forward to traveling with his daughter as much as he was when he was young and taking his little sister out with him.
Shen Que was busy taking Shen Silan around the shop, and Amu followed behind, both of them studying seriously.
"You must not only understand these ledgers, but also memorize them by heart. You cannot read them for everything. You must have a big ledger in your mind." Shen Que warned, "There are also channel partners who purchase goods, and they must also be engraved on them. In my mind, if someone comes to visit you, you must not neglect it, the shopkeepers of each store will handle other matters. They are all old people hired by the Shen family and have rich experience, so you don’t have to worry."
Shen Silan pursed her lips and muttered: "My dad is taking my sister out, why don't you take me with you?"
"Because you have to learn how to do business." Shen Que pointed at the tip of her nose.
"But I haven't gone out with my father yet. My sister has been to so many places, which opened my eyes. I have been trapped in this capital since I was a child. I am a country bumpkin who has never seen the world."
Shen Que laughed: "A country bumpkin from the capital? Let's do this. When you know everything about your family's business, I will take you out and go wherever you want."
"Are you serious about what I said?" Shen Silan immediately became happy.
"Seriously, sister will never break her promise." Shen Shen assured, the two sisters were joking and completely unaware of the loss and grievance in the eyes of Mutam who was following behind.
Shen Que quickly set up a school for girls. Because they were all noble girls, the teachers he hired were all women. Some were nuns who had stayed in the palace, and some were ladies from craft families. lady.
Making incense, arranging flowers, making beauties, cooking, and even hired a female master to teach some fists and kicks to prepare women for self-defense.
Unexpectedly, these lessons were extremely popular. They spread all over Beijing and there was an endless stream of people signing up.
Li Luansong hid in the corner and silently looked at her in the crowd. She was so high-spirited and smiling, and he knew that this was everything she wanted.
He slowly began to understand her.
In May, he followed him for a few days and couldn't help complaining: "Why is this so hard for your Highness? If I had known it, why would I do it in the first place? One moment, Your Highness robbed the wife's boat, and the next moment, he was about to marry the princess. Who is it? Who can not be angry? Your Highness is so angry." What are you running to do..."
A knife stabbed his eyes out, and he shut up.

Another great joyous event has come to the capital, this time it is the engagement of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is also the canonization ceremony of the Crown Princess.
Royal weddings are different from folk ones. The Crown Princess must first undergo a canonization ceremony, which is equivalent to an engagement with His Highness the Crown Prince, and then the wedding. During the wedding, there will be fireworks and performances throughout Jin'an, and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess will tour the whole city together. Let the people see the beauty of the sky.
On the day of the canonization, the whole city was also decorated with lights and colorful, and it was very lively.
Before the ceremony in the palace begins, Qin Tianjian will first tell the marriage horoscope on the spot, which will naturally bring good luck to the public. These are all prepared and are just a process.
The emperor and the empress finally returned to the palace from the summer resort. In the words of Emperor Xiaochun, if she didn't go back, she would really get frostbite.
Regarding their son's marriage, although they were surprised, they smiled and expressed their blessings based on the principle of not asking too much. This son has too many ideas. Who knows what he has in mind. If he interferes too much, it will be a disaster. The evil battles that affect the parent-child relationship are simply out of sight and out of mind.
The emperor and empress sat high on the throne, looking at the ministers and the livid-faced son, always feeling that something was wrong.
Isn't this his wedding? Why do you look so unhappy?
After combining the horoscopes, an auspicious wedding date was set in front of everyone. Just one month later, the candidate for the crown princess, the future queen, was officially decided.
Next is the canonization ceremony.
Looking at Yang Zhi, who was walking in her grand attire, the Queen always felt that this was not the candidate she was most satisfied with. She had no choice but to blame her son for not living up to expectations, and her good daughter-in-law ran away in anger.
Unexpectedly, he sighed softly. Emperor Xiaochun sat aside and asked quickly: "Yaya is not feeling well somewhere? Why is she still sighing?"
The Queen whispered: "Is Your Majesty satisfied?"
Emperor Xiaochun didn't even think about it: "Not satisfied."
"Me too."
This time, the two people sighed.
Yang Zhi went to the palace and kowtowed to the empress. After the empress bestowed the reward, the chief ceremonial officer read out the imperial edict.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Princess Wenhua Princess Yang Zhi is smart, generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. The Queen and I are very pleased to hear this. She is now canonized as the Crown Princess. It is the time when Yang Zhi is waiting to be named in the boudoir and is suitable for marriage. , and the beauty of the crown prince Li Luansong becomes a beautiful woman. All the etiquette will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Qin Tianjian, and the wedding will be completed at the right time. "
Yang Zhi respectfully accepted the order with a smile, which was regarded as a courtesy.
Just when the eunuch in charge of the ceremony was about to hand over the imperial edict to Yang Zhi, suddenly, a voice burst out from the crowd.
"Yang Zhi has evil intentions. Together with her father Yang Xiao, she poisoned the prince and seduced him. Her intentions are to be punished and she must not be appointed as the prince's concubine."
Everyone was stunned and looked at that person.
This person is Liu Chang, the imperial censor. This person is a prosperous thirteen-year-old Tanhua. He has always been taciturn and serious in speech. He rarely interacts with his colleagues on weekdays. He has the appearance of being aloof and keeping away from strangers. Because he is responsible for supervising all officials, he is Since everyone wanted to take a detour when they saw him, naturally no one was familiar with him.
These words undoubtedly caused thunder. Li Luansong looked at him, then at the empress, and asked:
"Master Liu, please don't speak nonsense."
Liu Chang said: "I am definitely not lying. This is the evidence that I have found out."
At this moment, Yang Zhi, who was still kneeling in the hall, turned pale and hurriedly looked at her father, who was sitting next to the empress.
Yang Xiao shook his head gently at his daughter to signal her to be calm, while his own hands almost broke the armrests of the seat.
Yang Zhi watched helplessly as Li Luansong's face gradually turned pale and stretched, and in a daze, he looked very similar to the first time she went to the East Palace to see him.
With a "pop" sound, the paper was thrown in front of Yang Zhi, and Li Luansong said angrily:
"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say."
Yang Zhi tremblingly picked up the paper on the ground and looked at it. One by one, she saw who she met on what year, month and day, and what they said, including what she knew about Huafang's drugging, and what she didn't know about her father. Bribing courtiers to fight against the New Deal...
"I don't know, I am wronged." Yang Zhi cried and cried.
"Are you unjust? Do you want to bring the witness in and confront him?" Li Luansong asked.
Yang Zhi was silent, lying on the ground like a limp noodle and crying bitterly. After a good canonization ceremony, just when she was one step away from the peak, she fell into the mud.
"The prince was drugged, which led to drunken sexual intercourse. Yang's moral character is not worthy of being a prince." Someone stood up and spoke.
"We still need to punish him. Murdering the prince is a serious crime that affects the nine clans."
The courtiers stood up one after another. Suddenly, what was a happy event turned into a farce, and Yang Zhi became the target of everyone's reviling.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Yang Xiao finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and said: "The petition says that the drug caused His Highness the Crown Prince to have sex after drinking. I dare to ask Your Highness, but are you the same as the daughter?"
Li Luansong narrowed his eyes and looked at him, and naturally understood that his extra question was just to see if he and his daughter could escape, and wanted to help him support him, and that person was Shen Que.
What a vicious mind.
"If it's not my little girl," Yang Xiao said, "May I ask who your Highness is in a romantic relationship with?"
Li Luansong looked at Yang Zhi and said, "Of course it's your wife, no one else."
Everyone looked at Yang Zhi, and Yang Zhi naturally refused:
"It wasn't me. The person who was with His Highness the Crown Prince that day was not me. I just went to take a look and found that I wasn't the one who prepared it, so..."
"Zhi'er..."
Yang Xiao wanted to stop it but it was too late. Yang Zhi had already admitted to drugging and it was irreversible.
As for Yang Zhi trying to bite Shen Que again, no one would believe it.
Previously, she said that Shen Que had committed an affair with the prince, and then Yang Zhicai said that it was herself. Now she denies it and starts to bite Shen Que... Who will believe her if this goes on and on.
The agency was too clever in its calculations, but it cost Qing Qing her life.
After falling from the highest and most dazzling place, Yang Zhi was disheartened and had no face left to survive, so she raised her head and hit the pillar...
