When Peikang reached his first birthday, Shen Ling only invited some relatives over to attend the first birthday banquet.

Shen Ling noticed that the Liu family who was coming to the banquet was a little absent-minded. Although there was a faint smile on her face, she looked reluctant, so she secretly asked the wife of the world.

Mrs. Shizi said: "Actually, I can't blame her. She asked her natal family to find an errand for the third brother, but the third brother didn't like it." She looked at the confidants of the two people around, and whispered, "Just like this. That's fine. In private, the third brother Xun touched her confidant girl. If it wasn't for the girl's Majesty who had been spotted wrong, I'm afraid she would still be kept in the dark!"

When Shen Ling heard this, she remembered the original Shen family for no reason. The Shen family was better than the Liu family. At least he had a son nearby. However, Liu came into the house for a few years and gave birth to two daughters in a row. They are no longer loved by her husband and mother-in-law. Now the concubine is pregnant. If the child is a son, I am afraid he will be the eldest son of the concubine.

Seeing Liu's strong smile, Shen Ling couldn't help but look a little pitiful, but it was about her maiden brother, so she couldn't talk more.

It’s just that when she told Yuru to kiss her in the future, Shen Ling was very careful. The best candidate was of course the scholarly family. Although the rules were stricter, most of the children who grew up in this environment could become talents, and the maid in the room. Are relatively small.

Over the years, because she has raised her concubine and concubine well, she has gained a reputation for being virtuous. In addition, although the Guogong Mansion has no power, but the two shops she opened make a lot of money every day, and even the mansion is a lot more generous. So as soon as she wanted to show her daughter, many people asked relatives to visit her.

Shen Ling picked and picked, and finally chose the youngest son of Lu Hanlin's family. Although Yuru is the eldest daughter of the mansion, she has a mild temperament and is not suitable for others' eldest daughter-in-law. Moreover, although the youngest son of Lu Hanlin's family is not the eldest son, and can't inherit much of the family business, he is better than others. He is not fourteen years old and already has a reputation as a talent.

And Peizhi, who is about his age, has only come back from the exam.

After Yuru's marriage was settled, Shen Ling began to prepare her dowry. Because there are still three concubines under Yuru, Shen Ling simply prepares together.

Those satin and jade jewelry can be placed in the back, but the furniture farm shop must be prepared early.

In the past few years, Shen Ling had saved almost thirty thousand taels of private money, and was determined to buy more land and shops for her daughter. After looking at it for two or three months, she did not decide.

Xu Ye heard the news, and Liu took the initiative to introduce her to a family that wanted to sell land and shops. The seller was an old friend of Liu’s father, who was originally an official of the Imperial Court, because the letter was written by the imperial concubine. One brother, was relegated to civilians.

He knew that he had offended the imperial concubine and the capital could no longer stay, so he hurriedly changed the property and returned to his hometown to avoid the limelight.

After hearing this news, Shen Ling knew how far the saint had favored the imperial concubine. Although she herself had been an imperial concubine, it was not because of how much Longxing Emperor loved her, but because she gave birth to two princes. When she was the imperial concubine, she was still more respectful to the empress, and Emperor Longxing bestowed her a knighthood to her natal family. She did not enjoy the favor of the imperial concubine like the current saint, anyway.

However, she is a former imperial concubine, and she knows exactly how powerful a favored imperial concubine is. Realizing this, she can't help but hesitate. If she had bought the land and shop of the imperial concubine, You won’t be branded as □□!

But soon she shook her head again, probably not! I am just a family of women, and the Guogong has no power. Presumably no one will connect the Guogong with the government. Finally, when she found that the fields and shops of the Yushijia were more to her liking, and the prices were relatively low, she simply gritted her teeth and bought it!

Even if you don’t buy it yourself, you just look at the relationship between the Guogong Mansion and the prefectural mansion. Others also know that your family is relatives, and that's the case anyway. It's not bad.

After thinking about this, Shen Ling simply bought the Yushi family's house to be sold, so that it can be temporarily rented out to collect some rent if it is repaired in the future.

Excluding the Yushijia's field shops, Shen Ling later visited a few more and bought hundreds of acres of fields in the suburbs of Beijing. As for the shops, two Yushijia's shops are enough. Yuxin and Yurong are still small and can be purchased slowly.

Even so, Shen Ling's private money has been reduced by more than half, the money comes slowly when he is earning, and the time when it is spent is much faster.

There was also a Zhuangzi attached to the Yushi family's property, and Shen Ling took a few children over there to escape the heat when he was free. Because Peizhi and Peiwen had to study martial arts with their husband, they didn't follow.

Those who followed Shen Ling were a few girls and Pei Kang at home. A few aunts stayed in the house to serve the grandfather of the country, and Shen Ling didn't want them to follow him if they didn't come over, so they would have to come over and set the rules, which made the girls uncomfortable.

Without the restraint of parenting, there is no need to follow the gentlemen to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, a few girls and Pei Kang have a great time in the village. Even Yuru, who is somewhat introverted, is much more cheerful than before.

The only downside is that the girls play too crazy and their skin is tanned a lot, especially the two older girls Yuru and Yuying. Two small ones are better.

In order to fear that the two large skins would turn black, Shen Ling prepared medicinal materials for them to soak in medicinal baths. Then, inspired by their tanning, she began to study prescriptions that could whiten people. Women in any world love beauty. If you can work out a few recipes, you can open a shop selling rouge and gouache in the capital.

Although dim sum shops and grocery shops make money, as the number of children in the house increases, there will be a dowry and a betrothal gift in the future. It is always right to open more shops and make more money.

In order to study prescriptions that can make people whiten, Shen Ling stayed in Zhuangzi for a few more months, and waited until the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching before returning home. And her prescriptions are almost researched. One of the prescriptions for whitening is made by modifying a few of the medicinal materials according to the prescription of the medicinal bath in Lingyue Palace. The other prescription is for her to use space. It is made from a kind of special-grade rice produced here.

Shen Ling plans to make these two kinds of whitening prescriptions into facial masks for sale. Although she had facial mask paper in her space, she had to use it up sooner or later, so after Shen Ling returned to the house, she began to find someone to develop paper that could make facial mask paper. It was really not good, and light cloth would do.

After the mask paper was handed over to the craftsmen for study, Shen Ling ordered a wing room on the Shangfang side to study various rouge gouaches in it. Taking this opportunity, she can finally distract the others, take out fresh roses from the space to make rouge, and make gouache with space's special rice. It must be very effective.

While Shen Ling was busy researching these cosmetics, a major event happened outside. After giving birth to King Fu, the imperial concubine gave birth to another prince and was named King Xiang by the sage.

The women who were sent by Shen Ling to send the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremonies to the Prince’s Mansion said that there was a gloomy cloud over the Prince’s Mansion. The prince of the county is now at home, and the errand of the prince has been spared. Although Zhou Yan’s eldest son, Haoxuan, is studying with the prince, But on weekdays, I don't feel less angry.

Those Xungui or clan families who had sent their children to the prince’s side in the past have regretted it. Two families with accompanying students even gave their sons sick leave.

Shen Ling couldn't help sighing after hearing this. What about taking sick leave? Even if someone quits halfway through, he can't change the facts. It's better to go all the way to the end, maybe there will be another village! At that time, the previous suffering was also paid off, and it was repeated like this, which made people despise.

Fortunately, the prince of the county was calm, but Shen Ling didn't hear about Haoxuan's sick leave. He wanted to come to their family and stay the prince to the end.

However, the Guogong Mansion had no power and no power, so it was not standing on either side, but it was able to live quietly with the door closed. This is also a benefit of lack of power.

In mid-September, Shen Ling's beauty salon opened. She made more than half of the cosmetics in the store, which she had never seen on the market. Soon, it aroused the curiosity of the noble ladies in the capital. With an attitude of trying, a few ladies bought some whitening masks and went back. Those who come to the store to buy things first will get a free bottle of moisturizer from the beauty shop.

This hydrating liquid is made by Shen Ling using the space's loofah and cucumber juice and mixing it with water. The moisturizing effect is particularly good.

So in the next month of the beauty shop, the most asked by the guests who visited was the small bottle of moisturizer. Even if Shen Ling priced it at one or two silvers, there was an endless stream of customers who came to buy it. In the following months, other cosmetics in the store also became popular.

At the end of the year, once Shen Ling settled the bills, the revenue of one beauty shop alone was more than the revenue of two shops. It seems that no matter when, the best money is a woman's money.

When the beauty shop was in its third year, Shen Ling had already saved 70,000 taels of silver in his private house. Shen Ling took out twenty thousand taels of silver among them, and married Yuru gracefully.

After Yuru got married, Shen Ling began to worry about the marriage between Peizhi and Yuying.

Peizhi is not as talented as Yuru's husband in reading, and now he has only gained a fame as a talent. When he learned that Shen Ling wanted to show him, Peizhi simply said that everything would wait until he was elected.

Shen Ling felt that although he was not very good at studying, he was still quite assertive in other matters, so he followed his intentions and waited for him to speak after he was promoted.

Then she put most of her mind on Yuying. Yuying is different from Yuru. She is neither born of a prostitute, nor is she born as well as Yuxin Yurong. Although her appearance can be called delicate, she is just a middle-aged figure.

Shen Ling didn't have much hope for her. When she wanted to see other people, she mostly chose from those who were more motivated or those who had a lower family background. After some screening, she finally chose a sixth grade. The son of the Beijing official.

When she was about to ask someone to explore the family's tone, an imperial decree came from the palace, asking them, the daughters of the noble family, to participate in the draft for the prince. Yuying is just thirteen years old this year, and she is the only daughter of the right age in the mansion.

Shen Ling calculated carefully, the prince and Peizhi were about the same age, and he was nineteen years old this year! According to the old royal rule, I'm afraid that the prince would have married the prince, maybe even a son. But there is an emperor and noble concubine dominating the saint, even if the queen wants to speak for the prince, she can't find a chance! Therefore, it is not until now that I decreed to choose a concubine for the prince.

In all fairness, Shen Ling didn't want to send Yuying to the draft. For one, she was just a concubine, and the position of the princess was not her turn to do it. Secondly, her appearance was not very good, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to make an appearance in the future. It's just that the imperial decree is difficult, and Shen Ling has no other good way. He can only ask Yuying to dress as ordinary as possible when she drafts, and strive to return from the election.

Yuying promised very happy at the time, but she was just an ordinary boudoir girl. Hearing that she was going to participate in the draft for the prince, she had some unrealistic ideas in her heart. If she can be selected, she will become a princess or a concubine in the future, will others take a high look at her and no longer remember that she is just a concubine.

So although she promised to be as low-key as possible during the draft, she paid a lot of attention to clothing and makeup during the draft.

As a result, after the draft, Shen Ling received the imperial decree that Yuying was selected as the prince Liangdi.
