Concubine Shu ordered very majestically, Li Yu also knew that Concubine Shu's criticism was reasonable, and today the third brother also admitted that he was not a child, and said that he would be involved in everything in the future. Now it's time for him to reflect. Therefore, he responded very obediently, drooped his head and went to the Buddhist hall of the concubine to kneel.

After Li Su left, Concubine Shu looked at Li Ke and said: "Ah Su has been smart since he was a child, but he can't see the overall situation when he does things, and he is still young. ”

"Mother, it's the child who is in a hurry. Li Ke hurriedly knelt down.

"You are not to blame for this. Ah Yu is naughty, and he has seen this matter, so he can't stay out of it. Moreover, he is not small. Concubine Shu said lightly, "It's time for him to go through the experience, but now he still has to hone and hone the experience, so I'll do it." I have been fasting and reciting Buddha for so many years, and there are still people who want to put my son to death. ”

When Concubine Shu said that, her tone became cold, and her eyes were full of cruelty. She slowly stood up, walked around the palace, and then slowly sat down, looked at the two children in front of her, and continued: "Since it is really the hand of the eldest grandson, then they will fulfill their wishes." We are also the beauty of adults, so that lovers will eventually become dependents, help Changle and Ah Wu, and win over this Chai family for Li Chengqian. ”

"Yes. Li Ke laughed.

A stone in Jiang Chengzi's heart also fell, she had always been afraid that Concubine Shu would protect herself and not let them move, but she didn't expect Concubine Shu to drop the Buddha beads and take care of this matter directly.

"Since we have decided to take care of it, then Chengqian's side, you should also take a trip. Concubine Shu commanded.

"Let's wait for Cheng Qian to come back, and then we'll go for a trip immediately. Now, the prince is dealing with the affairs of Jiannan Dao and is not in the East Palace. Li Ke replied.

Concubine Shu nodded, saying that she was tired, and told them to step down.

The two came out of the Penglai Palace, and the rain was much lighter. Li Ke had already let the carriage stop at the gate of the palace, and he carefully held the umbrella for Jiang Chengzi and got into the carriage all the way.

As usual, Jiang Chengzi was sent back to Yang Mansion first, and the two were in the carriage together.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chengzi asked in a low voice.

Li Ke took a dry handkerchief and was wiping Jiang Chengzi's wet bangs, and replied casually: "Mother is angry." ”

"Aren't you worried?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

Li Ke shook his head and said, "Mother can see farther than you and me. Moreover, she must be educating Ah Su at this time. ”

"Ah, isn't that miserable?" Jiang Chengzi thought of Yang Shufei's expression when she taught Li Su a lesson today, and suddenly felt that this prospective mother-in-law was actually very powerful.

"Ah Su always has to grow up. Besides, this stinky boy is probably smarter than you and I think. Li Ke put down the veil and looked quite proud.

"He's smart. Jiang Chengzi chuckled.

"Childe. Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Yang Chu shouted in a low voice outside.

"What's the matter?" asked Li Ke.

"The Yang Mansion has arrived, but there is a carriage blocking our way. I'm afraid I'll have to walk for a while. Yang Chu replied.

"Ask whose carriage it is, and let me move it. Li Ke was a little angry, Yang Chu couldn't do this thing.

"Son, it's the car of General Zuo Tunwei's mansion. Yang Chu replied.

"Tell them to get out of the way, too. Li Ke heard that it was Zhang Jia, and his tone was even more polite.

"They got out of the way. Yang Chu immediately said.

After a while, the car stopped at the main gate of Yang's Mansion, and someone shouted loudly: "Open the door, open the door, the ninth girl is back." ”

When the porter heard this, he immediately opened the door and came out to greet the nine girls with a big umbrella.

Ma Zhu asked numbly: "Nine girls, do you need a soft sedan chair to carry over?"

"My shoes are already wet, besides, what kind of soft sedan do you want for your mansion?" Jiang Chengzi smiled, looked back at Li Ke, and asked, "You still don't want to go back?"

Li Ke was going to go back, but when he saw Zhang Jia get down from the carriage and say that he wanted to visit Jiang Chengzi, he didn't want to go back.

Why did you let Ah Zhi be alone with that guy!

"I'm hungry and I'm going to eat a small hot pot in the kitchen. He replied with a vague answer, but the implication was "I'm here to stay."

"In this weather, it is also appropriate to eat a small hot pot, and it just so happens that I haven't eaten it for many days. Jiang Chengzi thought of the small hot pot, but he was also greedy, so he left Li Ke happily.

When Zhang Jia on the side heard this, he hurriedly said: "Ah Zhi, I haven't tasted a small hot pot for a long time, and I miss it very much." ”

"Okay, okay, let's eat a small hot pot today. Although Jiang Chengzi was a leather boot, it had already been soaked in water, and the socks were wet and cold and uncomfortable sticking to her feet, and now she just wanted to return to Lanyuan as soon as possible and change into a comfortable body.

"Great. Zhang Jia said with a smile.

Jiang Chengzi lifted her skirt and said to the little guys: "You carefully bring the two sons to Lanyuan, and I will go back to change my clothes first." ”

The little servants answered, Jiang Chengzi had already jumped past the second gate and went straight to Lanyuan.

She went back to the house to change her clothes and came out, Li Ke and Zhang Jia were sitting in the hall of Orchid Garden, looking at each other, like swordsmen about to duel.

"Come on, don't be like black-eyed chickens, this matter is obviously tricky right now. Since we are all old acquaintances in a foreign land, we should be united. Jiang Chengzi said in an old-fashioned manner.

"I am not an old acquaintance with him, but an enemy. Li Ke said angrily.

"I don't know you anymore, we are rivals in love. Zhang Jia replied.

"You two, don't talk about the past. If you want to blame it, you were too young to see clearly enough. Now, God has given us the opportunity to live well, so don't pinch each other blindly. Jiang Chengzi educated the two.

Li Ke and Zhang Jia didn't speak, they looked at each other, and then opened their eyes in disgust with each other.

Jiang Chengzi didn't say much, only said that the small hot pot would have to wait for a while, and drink a pot of tea to remove the moisture first. The two did not object, and Jiang Chengzi began to make tea. When making tea, Jiang Chengzi took the lead in asking Zhang Jia: "Didn't Brother Jinhua go to help the prince clean up the stall in Jiannan Road, why did he have time to come to my house?"

"After all, I am the general of Zuotunwei, and the Jingshi still needs Gongwei. Therefore, it is not possible to leave. Moreover, General Qin personally accompanied the prince to Jiannan Province and Shannan Province. The elite of the Zhang clan in Shuzhong is already at the disposal of the prince. Zhang Jia replied.

"I see. Jiang Chengzi nodded, and then asked, "You didn't come to my house just to have a small hot pot, right?"

Zhang Jia shook his head and said, "I've wanted to eat small hot pot for a long time, but when I came to visit at this time, there was indeed a new situation." In this case, if it is operated properly, it can directly beat Xiao Shi to the point where he has no power to fight back. ”

"Oh, what's new? Isn't it related to Wu Yuanhua?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

"Nope. It was a rainstorm today, and soldiers patrolled and found that a compound in the western area that had been built to house orphans affected by the disaster had been flooded. They reported it to me, and when I took people to see it, they found out something and took them together for interrogation. They've got it all. Zhang Jia said with a smile.

Jiang Chengzi was confused when he heard it, but he felt that what Zhang Jia said was something terrible, so he hurriedly asked. Zhang Jia said in detail that it was the previous drought, and there were always some serious disasters. When the refugees enter the capital, they will be taken in. One of the places in the West Side is a shelter for orphans affected by the disaster. But the officials and mothers who run the place use these orphans to make money. I found someone to train these orphans for the entertainment of those dignitaries.

"Ah Zhi, don't you know, some of them are still four or five years old, and those children don't understand anything, and they are ruined. It's outrageous. When Zhang Jia said this, the whole person became angry.

When Li Ke heard this, he was also angry, and shouted: "Before, Renyazi wanted to kidnap me and Li Tai to sell, to satisfy the appetite of those people, saying that children are tender, but I didn't expect that in the land of the capital, there is such a beastly behavior, and it is also in the name of disaster relief in the imperial court. ”

"yes, outrageous. Therefore, I carefully interrogated and examined it, and most of this matter was related to the Xiao family. And according to those people's confessions, not only here, but also another place called 'Green Bead Pavilion', which is also dedicated to entertaining dignitaries. There are beautiful women there, and those who have heads and faces in Pingkangfang, and those who insist on selling their art and not their bodies can sell their bodies there. There is also something that the King of Shu can't imagine, in addition to the 'Green Bead Pavilion', there is also the 'Lanyi Fang', which is a ready-to-wear shop on the surface, but in fact, it is all handsome men, and the servants are also those dignitaries. The people behind this are engaged in such a big battle, and they are not trying to make money. Hehe, his heart speaks for itself. Zhang Jia said with a smile.

Jiang Chengzi felt a chill down her spine when she heard this, and she didn't even know that the tea was about to be poured, so Li Ke quickly helped her catch it, so as not to burn her.

"Ah Zhi, I really shouldn't have polluted your ears with such a thing. Zhang Jia sighed.

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "I just think it's a shame that you found out about it, otherwise it's really scary." Do you have conclusive evidence that the person behind this is the Xiao family?"

"There is no conclusive evidence yet. Therefore, I want to plan the plan, touch the melons along the vine, touch all those high-ranking officials and nobles, and see the interests behind this. Zhang Jia replied.

"You can check it out. I really can't touch it, so I give it to the eldest grandson and the Xiao family. The evidence of this world is made. Jiang Chengzi said directly.

Zhang Jia looked at Jiang Chengzi with a shocked face, Jiang Chengzi glanced at him, and said calmly: "You don't have to look at me like this. The things you just mentioned, as long as the evidence is conclusive, is a dead end. In case the designer of these people and then design conclusive evidence to the king of Shu, or to you, or to which loyalty, you will not be able to turn over. ”

"I see. You're afraid of that. Zhang Jia suddenly realized.

"I've just been patronizing the anger, and I haven't thought about this layer yet. If Ah Zhi said this situation, it would be really terrifying. Li Ke also felt that the situation was grim.

Zhang Jia got up suddenly and said, "Fortunately, all the people I left behind are henchmen, and I haven't scared the snake yet." I can't eat this little hot pot, Ah Zhi, you owe me. ”

"I'll go with you, too. Li Ke also felt that this matter was very serious.

Zhang Jia waved his hand and said, "You accompany Azhi to eat a small hot pot." Leave this matter to me, besides, if I have any three strengths and two weaknesses, you will still protect Ah Zhi. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Ke said dishappily.

Zhang Jia shrugged, put on a poncho and hurried away. Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke looked at each other, they originally wanted to eat a small hot pot, but now they are tasteless.

As soon as he finished eating, Chai Lingwu hurried over to ask about Changle, and Jiang Chengzi didn't hide it from him. After all, the Chai clan is also considered to be in the bureau, and Chai Lingwu only frowned after hearing all this.

"Are you willing to marry Changle?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

Chai Lingwu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not a question of willingness or not, it's a lot of resistance." ”

"Just say yes or no? Li Ke was obviously in a bad mood, especially when he thought of the news that Zhang Jia brought back, he was in a particularly bad mood.

"Yes. Chai Lingwu spit out these two words lightly, and suddenly felt like a sinner. My father had always been neutral, but now it seems that because of his actions, he has to take sides.

"That's easy. It doesn't matter who wants to calculate you or the king of Shu. You have lovers, loyal dependents, and you just have them. Jiang Chengzi smiled.

"Alas, sister, I'm always so troublesome as a righteous brother. Chai Lingwu was very annoyed.

"Troublesome, how can it be troublesome? Come, eat a small hot pot, just prepare an extra one. We just finished eating, and I went to the kitchen to serve you a small hot pot. Jiang Chengzi said with a smile.

After Chai Lingwu finished eating the hot pot, he hurriedly said that he was going to the river embankment to star.

"Be careful, the rain doesn't stop. I heard my father just come back and say that if the rain continues unabated, those projects will only last for three days at most. Jiang Chengzi stepped forward and whispered to Chai Lingwu.

Chai Lingwu was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay, I'll be fully prepared." In addition, the people I sent out have already heard that the big boss of Ruyifang will come to the capital tomorrow. It's not clear exactly what it was coming for. If you want to order jewelry, or talk about cooperation, go directly to this big boss. This is still from your Wang family. ”

Jiang Chengzi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was about to meet the big boss of Ruyifang. Dad always thought it was the Wang girl who was Mom. I don't know if it's my mother. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get excited.

After Chai Lingwu left, Li Ke drank a pot of tea with her, and the two were talking about the next game of chess, and the housekeeper of the Shu Wangfu came panting.

"Uncle Wang, what's wrong?" Li Ke was shocked.

He, the steward, has never been out of the Shu Palace, and now that he has come, there must have been a big incident in the Shu Palace.

Uncle Wang panted and took a sip of tea before saying, "Lord Wang, I have caught, I have caught the wild man who has fornicated with the Xiao family." We are going to be put in prison, and the Xiao family made a fuss at home, saying that she was a side concubine, and even a distant relative couldn't come to the mansion? Xiao scolded us, scolded the prince, and then scolded the ninth girl for being a fox spirit or something, anyway, the Xiao family wanted to let that person go. ”

"Let's go, let's go back. Li Ke stood up and carefully helped Uncle Wang out.

"Be careful. Jiang Chengzi sent it out.

"Ah Zhi, don't worry, you have a good rest. Tomorrow, I'm afraid of many things, and there will be a result. Li Ke said this as if he had promised.

Jiang Chengzi said a thousand words, but at this time, he felt that it was not appropriate to say anything, so he just nodded.
