Chapter 1717 Gossip
Shen He casually asked: "Who's the prettiest man in the capital?"
"He is the young master of the Wen Family, Wen Jian Qing." Madam Guo lowered her voice and said, "That's an exceptionally beautiful youth who's sicker than Xi Shi!"
Shen He, "..."
Hehe.
That was true.
Wen Jian Qing did indeed have a good face and body in this world.
Because of his long illness, he was weak and beautiful, which made him look just like Xi Shi.
The His Royal Highness is prettier than Wen Jian Qing?
Oh, I really want to see it for myself!
After Madam Guo finished gossiping about the His Royal Highness and had pretty much finished knocking on the melon seeds, she returned home satisfied.
When Shen Zhou came back, Shen He immediately told him what Lady Guo had to say. Shen Zhou was speechless when he heard it: "What's with all this! Jian Qing probably won't like this title. "
Shen He laughed for a long time.
Thus, in the following days, Shen He heard all kinds of gossip about upper class society from Madam Guo, as well as the short-lived neighbors.
In the past, Madame Guo had gossiped about the upper echelons of society, but no one else was interested in it.
Because they couldn't get in touch with the upper echelons, there was no point in gossiping about it.
Madam Guo could only gossip about the matters of the people with them.
But ever since Shen He moved over, it was as if Madam Guo had found some meaning in her life. No matter what she gossiped about, Shen He was able to follow and was very interested in it.
Mrs. Togol's blessing.
It took Shen He about ten days to clear up the perso
el relations between the people in the imperial government.
Shen He had made a table for all of them, and used lines to co
ect all of them, forming a huge network of relationships.
When Shen Zhou saw this, he could not help but exclaim in admiration, "Sis, you really are born to be a manager. Just from those gossips, you managed to clear up such a complicated relationship between the officials of the imperial court. "It is fortunate that we did not come here for the purpose of subverting the imperial government. Otherwise, the emperor of this world would have been in such a state of panic."
The corner of Shen He's mouth curled up: "Although it's useless, once we get the relationship straight, it'll be convenient for us to take action in the future. Right, how is the matter that I asked you to inquire about? "
Shen Zhou's eyes darkened and said, "There's still no news." However, I have a plan. I would like to look for an opportunity to explore the Imperial Palace. "
Shen He shook her head slightly, "It's too risky."
"Sis, what if I follow Jian Qing and enter the palace as his follower?" Shen Zhou said: "You must know, as a first rank official's son, Jian Qing has the chance to enter the palace. Furthermore, all of the many princes in the Imperial Palace, who were around the same age as Jian Qing, were trying to get close to him! If they want to seize the throne, they will need the support of the ministers. "
Shen He thought that it was true, "Pay attention to your own safety."
Shen Zhou immediately revealed a happy smile after agreeing to Shen He: "Sis, don't worry! When have we ever been so reckless? "
Shen He said: "This place is temporarily stable, I will have to go back first."
Shen Zhou said with a look of reluctance, "Just a few days?"
Shen He sighed, and said: "After I finish settling the matters in the countryside, I will return very quickly. I promised myself that I would treat my benefactor well. As long as Second Uncle gets married, I will be repaying the debt of gratitude. I'll come back then and search for other people with you. "
Shen Zhou reluctantly said, "Okay then, come back early." "If you have anything to say, just pass it on to me."
Shen He smiled and nodded.
On the second day, before Shen He could tell Wen Jian Qing that she was preparing to go back, Lin Xiang, the little thief she met on the way over, came over and greeted him: "Aiya, your home really made it easy for me to look for you guys."
Shen He slowly said, "What? Last time, I was unsatisfied with what I did. This time, you are bringing yourself to my doorstep to let me beat you up? "
Lin Xiang's face reddened, and he said, "Definitely not. I came to find you for a reason. "
Shen He was curious, "Then tell me, why are you looking for me?"
Lin Xiang said: "I know that your family has been asking for news. "But I'm most skilled in things like asking for information."
"Say it, what do you want?" Shen He looked at him without moving.
"I also want to stay in Beijing." Lin Xiang's eyes were shining. "I want to get closer to His Royal Highness. However, it's really too difficult for an outsider to settle down in the capital. I knew that you had the ability to do so, so I came straight at you. "
Shen He remained unmoved and said: "I don't accept trash here."
Lin Xiang immediately tried to defend himself: "I'm not trash! I can get useful information! For example, I know that His Royal Highness has been searching the entire country for astrologer, and has even met a few of them privately! "
Shen He's finger stopped moving, and she looked at Lin Xiang with an acute gaze: "What did you say?"
Lin Xiang immediately straightened his back and said: "Hmph, don't look down on us. There's nothing we can't get our hands on! His Royal Highness had been searching for people ever since he fell into the water and became sick half a year ago. But no one knows who His Royal Highness is looking for, but astrologer has seen quite a few of them. "
Shen He's eyes flashed.
She felt that there was something wrong with the His Royal Highness.
A perfectly fine person would not do something for no reason.
If he did it, then there must be a reason for it.
Then what was the reason behind His Royal Highness doing this?
Was the other party an enemy or a friend?
Shen He naturally wouldn't be able to see through the depths of Shen He's background, thus she only leisurely said. "Then do you know what I'm looking for?"
"Probably looking for someone?" Lin Xiang asked uncertainly: "Is it an enemy?"
Shen He immediately laughed: "Aren't you afraid that if you learn too much, you'll be silenced?"
As expected, Lin Xiang's face paled, and he said firmly: "You are only a child, how could you do such a thing?"
However, he sounded a bit guilty.
Shen He also thought that Lin Xiang was a little interesting, it was appropriate to be Shen Zhou's assistant, and immediately said: "Since you want to stay, it is not impossible. But I want to make a deal with you. "
