Chapter 306 Zhao Zhen's Entry
Zhao Sheng was very worried about the artillery that appeared in Bingzhou, but he never expected Fan Wenyuan to come hurriedly with a letter.
After reading the letter, he learned that the content was about repairing the road from Dingzhou to Jinyang and even to Chang'an, and organizing a road protection operation jointly by the aristocratic families.
"Damn! This is simply a domestic joint forces operation." Zhao Sheng muttered to himself.
“How many companies have responded now?”
"Well, everyone who participated in the shareholding has responded, even the Wang family is no exception."
After hearing Fan Xitong's words, a slight ripple appeared in Zhao Sheng's deep eyes.
"This time, we can get a few small families to participate and reduce the Wang family's shares." Zhao Sheng said thoughtfully.
"Will this behavior offend the Wang family too much?" Fan Xitong obviously failed to understand Zhao Sheng's deep meaning and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"I'm not afraid of offending others, I'm just afraid that no one will intervene. Bingzhou has many small families, and many of them are along the Li family. However, this time the Li family can't invest too much, so..."
"understood!"
This time, Fan Xitong really understood it.
Zhao Sheng saw that Fan Xitong had come to his senses and said with a smile, "Since you're here, just stay here. As the person in charge of the expressway, I haven't seen you here for a year."
Zhao Ying is his royal sister, and Fan Xitong is also his brother-in-law.
Unfortunately, his royal sister has not yet recognized him.
Zhao Hengzhen didn't have many children, but even so, the princes and princesses rarely interacted with each other.
This is especially true for Zhao Hengzhen.
Royal gatherings were also rare.
Most of the gatherings were of court officials, and occasionally their favorite children would show up, show off briefly, and then leave.
A son of a palace maid like Zhao Sheng, who came from a humble background, basically had no chance to show his face.
Inadvertently, the two families had such a cooperation, but it turned out to be a test between the prince consorts.
He ordered the Princess's Mansion to make all the preparations, and Li Shuya naturally came out to accompany him.
But this time, Zhao Sheng brought Zhao Zhen with him.
Five years, five full years have passed.
Zhao Zhen is already eighteen years old.
In this dynasty, Zhao Zhen is already an older leftover woman, but she is still unmarried.
Not only Zhao Zhen's parents were worried about this, but also the so-called "brother" Zhao Sheng.
The dinner was uneventful. After a few rounds of drinking and exchanging pleasantries, Fan Xitong said goodbye to Zhao Sheng and stayed overnight in the side garden of the princess's mansion.
"Prince Consort, do you have something to say to me?"
After this period of mental recovery, Li Shuya's condition has basically improved.
Zhao Sheng really couldn't bear to touch Li Shuya's heartstrings, so he held Li Shuya's waist and said:
"Shuya, I know you've always been concerned about me. Actually, I can't bear to let you down. It's just about Zhen'er's affairs..."
He seemed to be hesitant to speak, what a cunning Mr. Zhao is.
Li Shuya sneered in her heart and asked with a silly expression pretending to be ignorant.
"Does my husband have something to say to me?"
"Uh..." Zhao Sheng was like a greedy cat wanting to eat the fish on his owner's table, squatting aside and acting cute.
"Shuya, it's getting late, let's go to bed early!"
"You~"
Before Li Shuya could finish her words, Zhao Sheng embraced her and then...
The weather in July is changeable. After nightfall, there was a howling wind, followed by a drizzle.
The next morning, a red sun slowly rose.
While eating breakfast, Li Shuya looked at Zhao Zhen who was eating with her head down and said softly, "Zhen'er, come to my room after dinner."
"Hmm!" The voice was as soft as a mosquito.
Li Shuya's room is located in the main house, not far from the restaurant.
When Zhao Zhen arrived, the maid was bringing a pot of tea and placing it on the table.
"Zhen'er, come, sit down and have some tea."
Li Shuya said to Zhao Zhen with a smile.
"Princess, I'm listening to you, but I won't drink this tea."
Although Li Shuya looked kind, as a citizen of the county, Zhao Zhen was often taught by her father, so she always reminded herself to observe etiquette and respect for superiors.
"Sister, why do I feel like you're starting to become distant from me? Is there something I'm doing wrong?"
Li Shuya said coquettishly.
"No, Princess, my father..."
"Well, we'll be a family soon. You don't have to be so formal."
Soon we will be a family. This sentence made Zhao Zhen's heart suddenly startled.
Are we really going to become a family? Zhao Zhen asked herself.
"I plan to let you enter the mansion as my second wife, and from now on we will be sisters."
Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to react, Li Shuya spoke slowly.
A concubine is between a wife and a concubine. Although she is called a wife, she has the same status as the main wife and does not need to pay respect to the main wife. However, she still has to respect the main wife and takes second place. Moreover, most of them will not be recorded in the family tree after their death.
For Zhao Zhen, this is already an extremely rare courtesy.
She knelt down hurriedly and said to Li Shuya, "Thank you, Princess!"
God knows how long this girl has been looking forward to this day. She thought that if Zhao Sheng married the princess, she would never have the chance to marry him in her lifetime.
Who could have thought that the princess wanted her to enter the mansion as a concubine?
"Still calling me Princess?" Li Shuya asked in feigned anger.
"Yes, yes! Sister!" Zhao Zhen seemed to realize it later and said stutteringly.
Everything is implied, there is no need to guess what a woman is thinking.
August 17th, Xinyou month, Renchen day, conflicting evil: conflicting dog (Bingshou) and evil in the south, twelfth day on duty: dangerous position.
Auspicious for: getting married, accepting betrothal gifts, getting engaged, offering sacrifices, traveling, building beams, starting fires, demolishing, building, bringing in newcomers, moving into new homes, etc.
Fan Xitong was preparing the armaments for the Dingzhou Expressway in Lucheng.
Luancheng was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.
From the workshop to the princess's mansion, the wedding sedan took Zhao Zhen back to the princess's mansion.
Several major families active in Luancheng, as well as smaller families who wanted to get a piece of the pie, all came to congratulate.
Although the street was not ten miles long, the buffet on the main street lasted for three days.
In this way, the girl who had always wanted to marry Zhao Sheng finally got her wish.
"Hey hey hey~ You just got married, why are you running into my room today?"
Li Shuya found Zhao Sheng, who looked tired, staggering in.
"If I say I miss my wife, can you believe me?"
Mr. Zhao said shamelessly with a cynical look on his face.
"I don't believe you!" Li Shuya stood up, grabbed Zhao Sheng's ear, and asked softly, "Don't you have any sympathy for women? Did your sister come here because she couldn't stand it?"
Zhao Sheng complained in his heart. He thought it was just a habit and he couldn't help but walk into the wrong room, but he couldn't admit that he was wrong.
"No, I really want to come and accompany my wife."
Zhao Sheng did not feel guilty at all and said with his neck stiff.
Li Shuya put down her hand and pulled Zhao Sheng.
"Sit with me for a while, and then go and accompany Zhen'er. This is a newlywed couple, don't hurt the newlyweds' feelings."
"Well, listen to my wife."
Zhao Sheng helped Li Shuya sit down and drank some tea for a while. After midnight, he reluctantly left the room.
