Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Upon hearing this good news, no matter how worried they were before, Shen Lingzhu and Shen Chi couldn't help but curl their lips.

Cheng Sicheng looked at the two pairs of similar smiling eyes in front of him, sighed secretly, and then said, "After the court recommended him as the Minister of Works, he was recommended and approved by the eunuch Wang, the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Administration, when he was arranging the various departments."

The father and daughter looked stunned. "How could this be?"

Cheng Sicheng knew that they were simple and straightforward people without any ulterior motives, so he said frankly: "I believe you have heard about this situation.

Once Brother Shen is labeled by someone with ulterior motives, today's success will be followed by tomorrow's failure."

"Brother Cheng Shi, can my brother resign from his post on the grounds of illness?" Shen Chi certainly understood that the emperor had cut off two of the so-called three major forces that helped him ascend the throne.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the remaining Da Diao Eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department will probably not have a good end sooner or later.

Although he was not sure whether Eunuch Wang from the Imperial Stables was also implicated, he knew that he could not let anyone link his brother with him.

He was very worried that after his brother went to Beijing, Wang Yuan and his son would continue to support his family.

"No!" Shen Lingzhu and Cheng Shicheng said almost at the same time.

Shen Chi patted his forehead and said, "I spoke out of turn." If his brother suddenly passed away due to illness, it would be uncertain whether he would be able to recover in the future.

Shen Lingzhu stood up and bowed to Cheng Sicheng, "Uncle Cheng, has the transfer document been confirmed and sent out?

If it has been sent, please advise whether we should go to Li's house right now and express our gratitude in a grand manner."

Cheng Sicheng's eyes showed admiration, but he did not respond directly. He asked, "Can you tell me if you are acquainted with Wang?"

"Of course." Shen Chi turned around and motioned Shen Lingzhu to go outside and see if there were any other guests in the boxes on the left and right.

When Shen Lingzhu took out a pen and paper from his bag and left them to them, Cheng Shigen praised him even more. Brother Shen's family was still very cautious. It seemed that there was indeed something behind it.

Shen Lingzhu went out and closed the door, nodded to the Cheng family follower who was guarding outside, and asked him to find

He walked to the right wing room very naturally, knocked on the door and pushed it open, all in one go.

Very good, no one.

When the Cheng family's followers saw her turn to the left side of the box again, they thought she was going to knock on the door again and chased after her to stop her.

But Shen Lingzhu could still hear the voices coming from the box, although they were low. They were indeed diners who were just eating, so she turned back halfway and nodded to the Cheng family's entourage.

Then he returned to the door of the private room and stayed there for half a quarter of an hour before knocking on the door and coming in and saying, "Uncle Cheng, Dad, do you want the waiter to serve the meal?"

At this time, Cheng Sicheng already looked relaxed, and Shen Chi was breaking up the burnt paper in the charcoal.

"Serve the food, serve the food. This restaurant specializes in southern dishes, and the squirrel fish is a specialty." Cheng Sicheng wanted to call the attendant outside the door to find a waiter.

Shen Chi quickly stood up and said, "Brother Cheng Shi, I'll do it. We must treat you to this meal."

So, both the host and the guests had a great time at the dinner table. After the meal, both parties went their separate ways, and Shen Chi drove his car to find a gold and silver shop.

Shen Lingzhu was shocked: "Dad, you want to borrow money from me?

Do we need to give very heavy gifts?"

Shen Chi nodded: "Compared with your uncle's future official reputation, money is a small matter.

Next year, I'll make a few trips south to buy some medicinal herbs, and then ask your aunt's family to help me make a few trips north to sell some cloth, and I'll be able to earn back the money."

Shen Lingzhu also knew that they couldn't be stingy when it came to spending money, and they had brought all the cash in their home to the capital, so they couldn't raise any more. "Is this store too demanding when it comes to paying back the money?"

"It's okay. Your dad won't lend you money randomly. I'll always find a reputable store." Shen Chi occasionally went to the gambling house to inquire about the news. He didn't tell his daughter about those less shady places.

Shen Lingzhu stopped trying to stop him and went in with him. It turned out that borrowing money at high interest was very simple.

I just told the shopkeeper that I was looking for so-and-so, and was immediately invited to the small courtyard at the back, and then walked through a winding path to a courtyard with a unique atmosphere.

Shen Lingzhu observed carefully and found that this was no longer the backyard of the gold and silver shop.

Then a fat middle-aged man wearing a fine silk cotton robe and a gold and jade ring came in, smiling brightly and bowing to greet them.

A moment later, they received a promissory note for 10,000 taels of silver and 9,800 taels of silver in a flower hall and went home.

Shen Lingzhu asked directly: "Dad, what are you buying?"

Shen Chi said: "Brother Cheng said that the Prime Minister respects his wife and invites younger generations to a banquet to celebrate her birthday every twelfth month. We must send a dazzling gift to show the outside world that your uncle is the Prime Minister.

There are four days left, actually three and a half days until the actual day, and we need to find out what Madam Li likes."

"It's better for me to find someone to deal with the matter in the inner house." Shen Lingzhu fully agreed.

Shen Chi nodded, patted her and said, "Before that, we still have to send a thank-you gift to the Prime Minister himself tomorrow, and we also have to be invited into the Li Mansion. This is the most difficult thing."

Shen Lingzhu said: "It's not difficult, father. Think about it, uncle was first reinstated by the Prime Minister. Even if Eunuch Wang recommended a good person this time, he can't just put uncle on the list based on this, right?

He also had to consider whether Eunuch Wang was the one who recommended him and what his purpose was, but he couldn't find out the reason for the time being.

Moreover, I think we cannot wait overnight. We must prepare a small gift for him now, wait for him at the yamen gate when he gets out of the yamen, and then follow him all the way to the gate of Li's mansion.

Or maybe his followers would be on guard against us halfway through, so I would catch his attention and then approach to speak."

"We can give it a try, although it's too abrupt and we don't have any better solution.

What else should I give?" Shen Chi hesitated for a moment.

Shen Lingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Tea, my uncle sent someone to send tea cakes to our home, it's just a small gift.

Dad, without Mr. Han leading the way, no one will accept our gifts, and sending the visiting cards will be useless."

She didn't know anything else, but Pu'er was the most famous. They were too young to drink tea, and her aunt usually didn't let her drink it.

But before she left, her senior sister gave her a few cakes, saying they were for entertaining guests in Beijing. However, later her father bought a lot of loose tea, and she never opened them.

So the father and daughter took the tea cakes, found suitable bamboo packaging in the market, and came to Qipantian Street again. They waited until half an hour after the government office was dismissed, and then Prime Minister Li walked out of Qianbu Gallery.

When Shen Lingzhu and his daughter saw him get on the carriage and leave, they quickly followed.

They followed all the way to Hukoutong where Li's mansion was located. Not far away, the attendants following the carriage stopped and waited for Shen Chi to drive away first.

Shen Chi drove forward without hesitation. When the carriage of the Prime Minister and the carriage of the Prime Minister were side by side, Shen Lingzhu opened the window and said quickly, "Lord, I want to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my uncle Shen Huai. Thank you for transferring him back to the capital. Here are two cakes of Wumeng tea."

She spoke too quickly, and the Li family's followers did not drive away Shen Chi's carriage immediately. Two tea cakes were handed out of the carriage, which scared the two followers and they thought it was a hidden weapon and quickly blocked it.

When Li Shoufu heard Shen Huai's name, he had already opened the curtains a little and said, "Let them enter the palace together."
