Mama Long came out of the palace, and when she heard that there were two gold and silver mines in Prince Ping's mansion, she immediately thought of a lot of things, such as the location of the two gold and silver mines, the annual output, and Prince Ping had gold and silver mines in his hands, so he must have plenty of money at hand, so why did he always owe his own marquis military salary? The eldest princess and the marquis have not gone to the barracks to fill in silver over the years.

Mama Long sighed softly, how could Prince Ping bear it? Knowing that the income of the eldest princess's fief and the Hou Mansion was so much, and she still had to support the Sun family, thinking of those Sun clan people who were idle all day long, Mama Long sighed again, thinking that the eldest princess was not close to her brother, but there was a Prince Ping who could support her, who knew that Prince Ping pit the eldest princess, and the Sun family pit the Marquis.

The most important thing is that no matter how stubborn the Sun family is, no matter how unscrupulous they are, they don't think about rebellion, but what about Prince Ping? Ask Hou Ye and his son to train for him, take advantage of the power of the eldest princess in Xiazhou and Lingzhou, and privately mine iron ore, once these things are known by the emperor, all the people who come forward are Hou Ye's people, even if Hou Ye tells the matter, who will believe it?

The eldest princess has not been in Beijing for many years, and those who know will say that she is afraid of the emperor, because of the previous dispute for the prince, she does not want to see her, so she avoids not returning to Beijing, and people who don't know are afraid that they will say that they are dissatisfied with the dragon court today, so they do not want to return to Beijing, and they do not want to surrender to today.

Then Hou Ye privately raised heavy soldiers and mined iron ore to build weapons, in order to rebel, completely said the past.

Mama Long suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet, Prince Ping is really calculating! He completely stayed out of the matter, but those soldiers only recognized him, Hou Ye complained to the eldest princess more than once, he helped Prince Ping train his troops, and worked hard, but those people only listened to those junior generals, he was very afraid that once these soldiers went to the battlefield, they would not obey his command at all, how could they come in handy?

Looking back now, I'm afraid that although Prince Ping asked Hou Ye to train soldiers on his behalf, he also installed his henchmen in the army early on, this is to prevent Hou Ye, right?

The Hou Ye and the eldest princess have no defense against Prince Ping, but Prince Ping has been guarding against his sister and brother-in-law for a long time.

If it weren't for the eldest princess's poor health, she would definitely go in and tell the eldest princess as soon as possible that there was a gold and silver mine in Prince Ping's mansion.

The arrival of the prince and his wife gave Mama Long a backbone, and led the prince and his wife into the inner room, and the couple saw the eldest princess who had drunk the medicine and fell asleep, and saw that there seemed to be nothing wrong with her old man, and they were secretly relieved, the family had fallen into a pillar, and the remaining one could not have any accidents.

Seeing this, Mama Long knew that she had something to say to herself, so she asked her wife to stay and take care of her mother, "Mama Long, you have always been thoughtful to your mother, how could you let your mother do such a big thing this time? You come out with me and explain it to me well." After speaking, she turned around and went out, and Mama Long hurriedly followed.

When they arrived outside, the maids and servants who were waiting had already cleared out the people of the prince, and those who were guarding the door at this time were all the henchmen of the prince.

Mama Long didn't dare to say it clearly, and looked around again and again, as if she was afraid that someone would hide and eavesdrop, which really didn't blame her, because Sun Cuijuan relied on this trick to successfully attack Sun Cuiwei.

The prince saw that Mama Long couldn't feel at ease, so he personally went to check around, but he didn't expect to find a little girl about seven years old under the big round table outside, because the big round table was covered with a tablecloth, she was small and hid in it, and no one would find out that there was someone hidden under the table.

When the little maid was taken out, the whole person was stupid, she couldn't even cry, she just stared at Shizi with big eyes, and she didn't seem to understand, how could she be found out if she hid it so well?

"Where was she on an errand?"

"Yes...... Waiting in Miss Silk's house. Mama Long originally thought that she was too suspicious, but she didn't expect to really let her catch someone.

Shizi nodded, seeing that this little maid is very skillful in hiding, it can be seen that she often does this kind of thing, I wonder what her mother would think if she knew that her granddaughter, who she regarded as a pampered eyeball, would let people spy on her like this?

"Have her shut up and shut her mouth. "Although she is stupid now, she will not scream, but who knows if she will scream and make a fuss when she goes out?

There was an inn where people lived either rich or expensive, and he didn't want people to see his jokes.

Because the little maid who was placed next to the eldest princess of Ruyang was arrested, the people who Sun Cuijuan bought did not dare to move, and they were afraid that the next one to be found out by the prince would be themselves, so the news that the prince and his wife arrived in a hurry was not revealed to Sun Cuijuan.

The maid next to her felt a little uneasy, "Why hasn't that girl come back yet?"

"She's at her grandmother's, what can she do?" Sun Cuijuan held a handkerchief to cover her mouth and yawned, looking at the sky outside, she didn't know when it turned gloomy, she walked to the window and probed, "Send someone to tell Mama Long, saying that I have a headache, and I won't go over at night to say goodbye." ”

The maid should be, turned around and left, and the others asked Sun Cuijuan if she wanted to set the meal?

"Looks, it's going to rain later, but it should be cooler today, and I'll probably have a good night's sleep." The maids echoed in unison, and the maids said, "Miss is worried about the eldest princess's discomfort, it's cold and good to sleep today, so let's rest early!"

Sun Cuijuan nodded with satisfaction.

Later, the heavy rain poured, and it rained all night, and it didn't stop at dawn, after Li Qianqian got up, he meditated in the house with Chunjiang and Chunshou, and when Lantang came over, they just got up.

"The Hou Shizi of Pingchuan is here. Lan Tang was so cold that he rubbed his hands, this rain was really heavy, he was wearing a coat, holding an umbrella or getting wet, Yun Zhu was busy asking Chunjiang if he had a hand stove, Chunjiang went to get the hand stove, Li Qianqian asked Chunshou to light up the smoke cage in the house, Lan Tang waited for the smoke cage to light up, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Jindun to sit down next to the smoke cage.

Yun Zhu sneezed coldly, the power was terrifying, Yun Zhu himself was frightened, not to mention Chun Jiang and Chun Shou, Li Qianqian was not frightened, because he had heard Yun Zhu muttering there before.

Lan Tang shook his head secretly, and asked Chunjiang, who was handing the hand stove to him, if he had any dry clothes that he could borrow cloud beads to wear first.

Chunjiang was busy looking for clothes for Yunzhu again, and Chunshou took a set of his own clothes for Lantang. "The sect leader's clothes are too small, so I can only grieve Miss Tang to wear the slave's clothes first. ”

"What kind of grievance is that. Lan Tang smiled, took his clothes and Yunzhu to the inner room to change clothes, Chunshou went in to help, and Chunjiang took a letter to Li Qianqian, "This was sent by Liu Er yesterday, but you have already fallen asleep." ”

Li Qianqian took it and quickly read it at a glance and ten lines.

"This prince seems to be a sensible person?"

"Do you understand people?" she looked at the letter and smiled, "If you really understand people, how can you help Prince Ping raise private soldiers together with Marquis Pingchuan?"

Also.

However...... "Now that he knows that Prince Ping has gold and silver mines, I wonder what he will do?"

"The best way is to stab this in front of the emperor, confess his guilt, and even if he can't pull Prince Ping off his horse, he can still throw out the private soldiers in his hands. "There is no private soldier in his hand, and it is not easy for the emperor to cure his crimes, but how to throw the pot depends on the ability of the Hou Shizi of Pingchuan.

Lan Tang changed his clothes and came out, and said to Li Qianqian, "Hou Shizi of Pingchuan just came to find the Great Sect Master. ”

"Oh, got it. "So that's what she just meant. "You see him coming?"

"Well, the Hou Shizi of Pingchuan looks very different from the eldest princess and grandson. I felt very polite, I saw her from afar, and I gestured to her chin.

After listening to her explanation, Li Qianqian couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that he knows very well that the eldest princess's ancestor and grandson came to try to persuade me to quit, which is a very ridiculous thing." ”

"The eldest princess came out of the palace, don't you know that it's ridiculous for her to do such a thing?"

"Do you think that those who come out of the palace must be smart people?" Li Qianqian smiled and asked Chunjiang to set up breakfast.

Lan Tang laughed, "I didn't say that. "I just think so, after all, the water in the palace is deep, and people who are not smart will be killed before they can get out of the palace.

Since the eldest princess of Ruyang can live safely until she gets married, doesn't that mean that she is a smart person?

Li Qianqian smiled, "Even if she is a smart person, haven't you heard of it?"

Chunjiang listened to the two masters taking care of the bar and forgot to eat, so he couldn't help but remind.

After eating, Chunjiang led Yang Liu to put away the used dishes and chopsticks, served the freshly brewed tea, and came as soon as he came.

"Master. ”

"My cousin came to me?"

"Yes. As soon as he said this, he smiled, "Pingchuan Hou Shizi wants to compensate the sect leader on behalf of the eldest princess of Ruyang and his niece." ”

Li Qianqian nodded, "I'll go over now." Chunjiang stepped forward to help her put on her coat and wait for her to meet the Hou Shizi of Pingchuan.

Li Shu took a sip of tea slowly, and Pingchuan Hou Shizi also lowered his head to drink tea, he still had a little bit of a bottom about the origin of the founding leader of the Ruiyao Sect, so when he saw Li Shu's demeanor, which was more noble than him, he couldn't help but have some mixed feelings in his heart.

If the Tiansheng Empire had not perished, the person in front of him might have been a legitimate prince, but unfortunately, with the collapse of the Tiansheng Empire, he had also fallen from the pride of the sky to a Jianghu man.

This made him inevitably think, if Prince Ping's matter is exposed, I don't know what will happen to his family? Maybe it's not as good as the people in the rivers and lakes!

The Hou Shizi of Pingchuan is in charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and he is very clear about the value of the clothes worn by Li Shu, because Li Shu's body is very similar to the Xihua soft silk that he introduced from Xiyue under his steward, when they set the price, they had referred to the price set by the Jinyi Fang, and a horse in the Jinyi Fang was priced at a thousand gold, because they introduced not the best soft silk, so they directly cut the price in half to sell, not that they didn't want to get the high-grade soft silk, but they could only get this level of soft silk.

Xu was because the Jinyi Fang was expensive, so as soon as their soft silk was introduced, it became very popular, which greatly relieved their family's financial constraints due to Prince Ping's arrears of military salaries.

Even if his family was selling this fabric, Pingchuan Hou Shizi didn't dare to wear such a dress to show off, at most he asked his wife to make him a purse to wear, he didn't expect that he would see someone wearing such a Xihua soft silk, and it was more upscale than the Xihua soft silk sold by his family.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that I had heard someone say a few days ago that there was an inn and a brocade shop that were owned by the Rui Yao Sect, so it seemed to be a normal thing for Li Shu, who was the head of the Rui Yao Sect, to wear a robe made of high-quality western flower soft silk.

"Cousin, son. Li Qianqian walked in surrounded by maids, and she blessed Li Shu and Pingchuan Hou Shizi, and Pingchuan Hou Shizi accepted her salute before she said what she meant.

Li Shu sat upright and did not interfere, Li Qianqian listened to what Pingchuan Hou Shizi said, and then replied with a smile, "This matter is actually not to blame the eldest princess, your niece is old, but her lifelong events have not yet been settled, she cherishes her granddaughter, and there is a loss of proportion for a while, but this matter, if it spreads, it will inevitably affect the reputation of your niece, and please ask the prince to control it more." ”

Pingchuan Hou Shizi nodded yes, but he was thinking in his heart, if he was Feng Gongzi, he would also choose the little girl in front of him as his wife, and he would not consider his niece at all.

But he didn't want to, even if his mother was the eldest princess, he didn't want anything, he could get it, otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting in the Dragon Court today.

"I heard that Jinyifang and an inn are all owned by Sect Master Li?"

"Yes!" Li Qian smiled, "Shizi asked, don't you want to do business with me?"

"If there is a chance, I wonder if Sect Master Li agrees?"

Li Qianqian smiled with crooked eyebrows, "If there is a chance, of course it is good! Do business! Naturally, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy." ”

Shizi also smiled, and then talked to Li Qianqian about Xihua Soft Aya, Li Qianqian had not yet entered the door, and found that Pingchuan Hou Shizi looked at Li Shu from time to time, he may not know, but Li Qianqian could see it very clearly, if she didn't come in again, her cousin would probably get rid of Shizi's tricks.

"To be honest with Shizi, this Xihua soft silk was not purchased directly from Xiyue, but purchased from the Lu Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Lu's Chamber of Commerce?" asked the Hou Shizi of Pingchuan, Li Qianqian nodded, and said, "Actually, why is the prince worried about this? As far as I know, there are merchants under Prince Ping's mansion, who specialize in doing business with the Xiyue people. ”

Prince Ping has a lot of caravans under his hands, and the Hou Shizi of Pingchuan knows this, but as far as he knows, the scale has not been large, and Prince Ping has repeatedly complained to him that although raising these caravans has brought him back a lot of rare treasures, it is really not cheap to raise caravans, and they have to walk around, and they have to send guards to protect them, otherwise they may lose all their money, and they may have to be upside down.

But why did Li Qianqian say that Prince Ping had someone who did business with the Xiyue people?

His family and Prince Heping's Mansion are so close to people who don't know, why would Li Qianqian say it so blandly?

"The prince doesn't believe it, no wonder the prince doesn't believe it, but the prince thinks about it, what good will it do me if I lie to you?" Li Qianqian asked, spreading his hands and tilting his little head.

Is it not beneficial, then what she said must be true? That may not be, maybe because her mother and Sun Cuijuan are making trouble for her, so she deliberately wants to make trouble for her family?

Li Qianqian saw that Shizi was still looking at him suspiciously, and said with a smile, "My cousin has a good personal relationship with the previous generation of directors of Fengjiazhuang. ”

This is equivalent to telling the prince that she and Feng Gongzi do have a marriage contract, and this marriage contract is what the previous generation of principals are happy to see, and they don't want to see anyone break it.

"Then Prince Ping has a matter of gold and silver mines?"

"Actually, I'm very curious about this matter, Prince Ping is far away in the capital, his hand can't reach that far, but his iron ore is mined smoothly, it can be seen that it depends on the power of the eldest princess, and it depends on the eldest princess, but why no one told the eldest princess that there are still gold and silver mines near the iron mine?"

Speaking of which, if the Hou Shizi of Pingchuan still doesn't understand, then Li Qianqian feels that their family deserves to be used by Prince Ping to death.

Pingchuan Hou Shizi's face was pale, Li Qianqian dialed it so clearly, if he didn't understand what it meant, then he could really die!

"Thank you Sect Leader Li for your advice, thank you Sect Leader Li. I'll say goodbye first, and I'll thank you later. ”

Li Shu wanted to open his mouth and say, there is no need to thank us, remember to give us the gold mine as a thank you gift. However, Jin Yi took the first step to see what he wanted to say, it was definitely not a good word, and he was busy pulling him away, Li Qianqian sent Pingchuan Hou Shizi away, and when he came back, he saw Li Shu's black face, and then he looked at Jin Yi's face was not very good-looking.

"Cousin, don't be angry! I think about it, the gold and silver mines will definitely not be able to hide from people, especially the one in the palace, if he knows that we will take the gold and silver mines that Prince Ping has mined from everyone, think about it, he will definitely regard us as a thorn in the flesh. ”

The emperor has already stared at the treasures of their Ruiyao Sect and will not let go, if there is another gold and silver mine, then she will not live!

Li Shu snorted coldly and pulled his sleeve back from Jinyi's hand.

"I'm not stupid, don't I understand this truth?" I was angry and I looked flat, Li Shu's eyes said, but Li Qianqian had already waved his hand at him and retreated, so I followed her out, leaving Li Shu in the house to sulk.
