To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Chapter 214 It’s Not Easy to Be the Richest Man in Ming Dynasty 26

A betrothal gift of 88,000 taels is considered quite prestigious among the nobles, but both the Tang He and Shen families are low-key families, and the meat of the bun is not the folds.

There was no need to let others see the excitement. Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang was not a kind-hearted person and making it too luxurious would undoubtedly sow a thorn in the emperor's heart.

Shen Yujin's wedding was very dignified, and the Tang family also modestly gave Tang Lan a large dowry. Tang He felt even more guilty that he was the one who chose the bride.

Tang Lan's flowering period was wasted, so Tang He did not let his eldest granddaughter down when it came to the dowry. Tang He had hidden a lot of good things during the wars over the years.

Tang Lan's dowry was a substantial 98 pieces of silver, and the Shen family felt a little more confident. Lord Liu's ridiculously expensive house was bought by Shen Fu as Shen Yujin's wedding house.

The family can relax a bit, otherwise it would be embarrassing if they can't even fit their granddaughter-in-law's dowry.

The Tang family was also very satisfied. Given Tang Lan's current situation, they could just find a student from a poor family. In fact, which elder would want their child to marry into a poor family?

The dowry would have to be used to support a whole family. Shen Yujin was well-educated, good-looking, and impeccable in her dealings with others. The Shen family had a title, so they certainly couldn't be poor.

Comparing the two, Tang Lan's marriage became the best solution.

There are four great joys in life: a long drought followed by a downpour of rain, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and being named on the imperial examination. Shen Yujin won the third place in the imperial examination and got married, which was a great combination of good things.

Those who were waiting and watching couldn't help but slap their thighs. It's too late! So it seems that Shen Yujin is a good match! No need to serve the mother-in-law and the grandmother-in-law, and the husband is a potential stock. The room is clean and there is no mess.

Tang Hena was as cunning as a sieve, and would be the first to rush in when good things happened. Noble families had many children, and every family had a few girls ready to get married.

Shen Yujin and Tang Lan's marriage is a happy one, and Tang Lan is almost astonished by the Shen family's earning power. It turns out that so many fashionable fabrics are made by the Shen family.

It is no exaggeration to say that this ability to make money is enough to make a fortune every day. No wonder he lives such a low-key life. This shows that he has lived a transparent and clear life.

There is an old saying that it is better to marry a maid from a wealthy family than a girl from a humble family! Tang Lan is a proper lady from a wealthy family. Over the years, she has followed her father, brothers and grandfather and has seen a lot of court.

Tang Lan has arranged the household in an orderly manner. The Tang family's business performance over the years is incomparable to that of the Shen family. Tang Lan's methods of managing servants are something that even Shen Fu does not have.

Tang Lan took over the family's core business, and Shen Wang was finally able to return to Jinling to reunite with his wife and children.

Shen Yujin was gaining experience in the Hanlin Academy, and no one dared to bully him. After all, Shen Yujin was a legitimate first-class scholar, and no one could find fault with his academic qualifications.

In Tang Heke's case, he was definitely not a kind person who was easy to bully. He was an old killer who killed people without blinking an eye. Anyone who dared to bully his grandson-in-law was simply twisted and crooked.

But these intellectuals were born xenophobic. Because of Shen Yujin's background and marriage, they automatically excluded Shen Yujin from their circle.

How could this situation be hidden from the sharp-eyed Zhu Yuanzhang? The emperor was a master of keeping things in balance, and Zhu Yuanzhang saw everything that Li Shanchang and his gang did!

I must give a thumbs up to those you dislike and exclude! Otherwise, the court will all have the same voice, which will be a disaster.

So after just one year in the Hanlin Academy, Shen Yujin was promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang to be a companion reader in the Eastern Palace.

Shen Yujin was so bitter that he could squeeze out juice from his heart. The Eastern Palace was a nest of right and wrong. Zhu Biao would not live long! Zhu Yunwen was a useless person who could not be helped!

Entering the Eastern Palace was like snatching food from a tiger's mouth. Zhu Xiongying's death was a mystery. Zhu Yunhuan, as the legitimate son, did not ascend to the throne, but Zhu Yunwen, who had no background and no ability, sat on the throne.

Even a fool wouldn't believe that there is no ghost here. It shows that Concubine Lu, who came from a civil service group, is not a good person.

How could it be such a coincidence that all those who could hinder Zhu Yunwen's ascension to the throne were dead? The Eastern Palace was now a huge bomb that had not exploded.

After many twists and turns, Shen Yujin finally jumped into the big meat grinder of the Eastern Palace.

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunhuan's biological mother, Chang, was the daughter of Zhongshan King Chang Yuchun, and his mother, Lan, was Lan Yu's younger sister.

How could he, with such a rich background, lose to this woman named Lu?

No matter how you look at it, Zhu Biao doesn't seem like a lustful man who favors his concubine over his wife. How much sweet talk did Lu give Zhu Biao?

If Zhu Xiongying were alive, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have killed so many meritorious officials to pave the way for his grandson, because Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunhuan's backgrounds naturally allowed them to get along well with the nobles.

Only Zhu Yunwen was born to sit on the opposite side of the nobles, and he could not suppress the nobles at all. With Zhu Yuanzhang's character, anyone who threatened his kingdom should die!

This is the scary part, one thing leads to another and there is no solution! Shen Yujin's identity is to stay beside the prince, drafting some imperial edicts and doing copying work, to enlighten the little boy Zhu Xiongying.

Royal education is really perverted. Zhu Xiongying, who is only four years old and can't even hold a pen, has to take over education.

Shen Yujin looked at the soft milk ball in front of him and liked it very much. He was not an old scholar and could not do something like frowning and harming a child.

Shen Yujin mixed all kinds of knowledge into stories and told them to Zhu Xiongying, and specially bought various small gadgets to coax Zhu Xiongying to listen.

Zhu Xiongying practiced calligraphy with Shen Yujin every day with a specially made small brush. Whenever Zhu Xiongying felt tired, Shen Yujin would teach him to paint to relieve stress.

I can't say anything else, but the thing Zhu Xiongying keeps saying the most every day is, "Why hasn't Teacher Shen come to the East Palace yet? I just drew a dragonfly and I'll let Teacher Shen show it to me later."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was a connoisseur and was very satisfied with Shen Yujin. He said that Zhu Xiongying had done a good job in his enlightenment, had good etiquette, and his handwriting was also quite nice.

Moreover, Zhu Xiongying has become more lively, and it is obvious that Shen Yujin has put a lot of effort into it.

Zhu Xiongying's performance became more and more outstanding. He often appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. His appearance as a little adult often made Zhu Yuanzhang pick up his eldest grandson and give him a lot of kisses:

"My grandson is very smart. I think he is even smarter than your father when he was a child! This Shen companion is a good man. He has been rewarded with ten pieces of silk for his meritorious service in accompanying the emperor's grandson in his studies!"

Shen Yujin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he received the reward. It was great that he finally saw his return from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Crown Princess Chang was also a person who knew what was right for her. When the Eastern Palace distributed benefits at the end of the year, Shen Yujin got the first one and it was the top one.

As a result, Shen Yujin has become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of some people!

Concubine Lu was very angry. Everyone was praising Chang's stinky-feet-like imperial grandson, Zhu Xiongying, who was the focus of everyone's attention, but no one cared enough to come and see her own son, Yunwen!

Living like a little transparent, they are the emperor's own children, what's the difference! Chang looks kind, but in fact she is used to pretending to be a queen. Is it so great? Then let's wait and see how long you can sit on the throne of the queen?
