Chapter 172: That Place

Sister Hong went to Xinghetang to see Uncle Wang, and said, "Luo Qi has bought the shop and finished decorating it, in addition to the large amount of linen that was originally stored, there are also some silk ......."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment and wondered: "Uncle Wang, does Miss Fifth really plan to set up a shop in the capital for a long time......?

Uncle Wang shook his head: "She doesn't know about this now. ”

Sister Hong was puzzled: "Didn't Master Mingkong mention it to her? What is going on with this pair of masters and apprentices? How did my Tingfeng Lou receive the news that the fifth lady has been very close to the eldest prince of Ning'an Hou Lu Mansion recently?"

Uncle Wang groaned: "I have also heard about the matter of the eldest son of Lu. This is when Mrs. was alive, she set up a family affair for Miss Five, it can be regarded as a doll parent, Miss Five has no contact with the Lu family over the years, but it has only recently become warm, and there have been a few times in secret, in my opinion, it must have been this time to know about this family affair. ”

"But......" Sister Hong was a little anxious, "How can the fifth lady be engaged to the official eunuch house in the capital, you must know our plans......"

Uncle Wang waved his hand to stop her words: "Maybe Mrs. made a family affair back then, but it was just to hide people's eyes." I think that the eldest prince is just a scholar, and he is determined to pursue a career in the office, and it seems that he is not the same as us......"

He was silent for a while, and then said: "But it's too early to say this, the pillars of this country, no matter which side will compete for it, and we can recruit peace when the time comes." Recruit him over, I just hope that he won't be too scholarly and embarrass Miss Five. ”

Sister Hong was slightly surprised: "Uncle Wang." Are you saying that Miss Five has fallen in love with that kid?"

Uncle Wang nodded with a slightly solemn expression.

Sister Hong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Fortunately, Miss Fifth likes Lu Gongzi, if she likes the prince, then it will be difficult for us to do it." ”

"Prince?!" Uncle Wang suddenly turned his head and stared at Sister Hong, "Why do you say that?"

Sister Hong said disapprerovingly: "According to the news I heard from Fenglou. The prince once helped Miss Wu in the library to help her get out of danger, and I heard that he was seriously injured because of this. The two then escaped from the palace. Spent the night in the mountains. When I went down the mountain, I met Princess Zhaomin, and the two sides almost made a move, but it was the prince who appeared in time, and finally the fifth lady was safe and sound. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Uncle Wang frowned. "Then did the prince go to find Miss Fifth again?"

Sister Hong thought for a while and said, "All the news we have found." After returning to Beijing, the prince seemed to have forgotten about this matter and never went to find Miss Fifth again. However, I recently heard that the position of the crown princess has been decided, and he chose one of the second and fourth ladies of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, and the prince began to communicate with the Yuanning Hou Mansion, and recently made an appointment for a horse race. ”

Uncle Wang asked again: "Regarding the horse race, did the fifth lady also go?"

Sister Hong nodded: "I went, I heard that the horse was frightened." Miss Five got separated, and then came back on her own. The prince chased him out, but he did not meet with Miss Five. Speaking of this, Sister Hong added, "In my opinion, Fifth Miss doesn't seem to mean that to the prince." If it is said that she cares, the fifth lady cares about the eldest prince of Lu far more than the prince. And the crown prince doesn't seem to be very interested in the fifth lady, and since then, the prince has never been to the Yuanning Marquis Mansion. ”

Uncle Wang exhaled softly: "That's good, that's good." ”

If Gu Zhirong really likes the crown prince, then he doesn't know what to do.

Sister Hong frowned, a little puzzled: "Uncle Wang, I don't think that the eldest prince of Ning'an Hou's Mansion is not very good, except for reading well, there seems to be no other advantages." was oppressed by his stepmother in the Hou Mansion...... If it weren't for the fact that Fifth Miss had been secretly supporting him, where would he have been so high-spirited in front of people?"

Uncle Wang smiled: "You don't understand this, right? That eldest prince Lu once saved the life of the fifth miss, so it is natural for the fifth miss to be good to him, not to mention that the fifth miss still likes him." ”

Sister Hong said disapprerovingly: "Isn't it often said that useless is a scholar?

"And ......" Sister Hong thought of something, raised her head and looked at Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, I have always wondered why the fifth lady took the initiative to provoke General Chen? You must know that General Chen is powerful and powerful, and he is not so easy to deal with. If it is said that it is for the sake of Miss Gu Qi's death to seek revenge, is it worth it?"

Uncle Wang shook his head: "This is not as simple as avenging his sisters......

Before he finished his words, a small servant hurried in and handed a small bamboo tube to Sister Hong.

Sister Hong took it, took out a rolled note from the bamboo tube, spread it out, and her face changed slightly: "I finally understand why Miss Fifth took the initiative to attack." ”

Uncle Wang glanced at the note: "What it said is about the iron mine in Big Banyan Village?"

Sister Hong was surprised: "Uncle Wang, how do you know?"

Uncle Wang smiled confidently: "Many years ago, Miss Five asked me to pay attention to the situation in the capital and its surroundings, when I found out about the strange things that happened to the banyan tree, I reported it to Miss Five, and Miss Five guessed it at once, but there was no evidence at the time, so I gave up, but I didn't expect Miss Five to be forced to go to the big banyan tree village and do a practical thing for the people there." ”

"But ......," Sister Hong said with some concern, "the general is an insatiable person, I think back then, he almost broke out because of the private opening of iron mines, the resale of privately cast weapons, and later used some means to cover it up." Unexpectedly, when he saw that he had been safe and sound in the past few years, his greed rose again, and he pretended to announce to the outside world that he would settle his family in the capital in the future, and he would buy a few farms on the outskirts of the city, but he didn't expect it to be to cover up his purpose of setting up an iron mine and casting weapons. Now that he has been recognized by Miss Five, he has a nest, so doesn't he hate our Miss to death?"

Uncle Wang shook his head: "Fifth Miss is a smart person, she didn't come forward, but let others pass on the words, so the whole matter is up to the prince, if the general wants to seek revenge, just go to the prince." ”

Sister Hong nodded: "This is the best." She is most happy to see the prince's power weakened, as long as the prince is weakened, their plan can succeed.

The general was put on such a scene by the prince, and he must have hated the prince to death in his heart. In this way, it will be impossible for him to support the crown prince anymore, and turn to support other princes. For the crown prince, he has invisibly made a strong rival.

Thinking of this, Sister Hong couldn't help but be happy, "At the beginning, I thought that Miss Fifth was helping the prince, but now it seems that Miss Fifth is really a smart person." ”

Uncle Wang reminded her: "Don't be too happy, Miss Fifth doesn't know our plans." ”

Sister Hong said disapprovingly: "Sooner or later, you will know." She raised her head and looked a little solemn: "Uncle Wang, this matter will have to be told to Fifth Miss sooner or later, isn't it? ”

Uncle Wang frowned, with a deep word "Chuan" in the center of his eyebrows, and finally he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." (To be continued......)
