Xu Songyuan met his second brother Xu Zhengyuan in the study. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xu Zhengyuan drank tea uneasily, and when he saw Xu Songyuan, he immediately stood up, "Big brother, have you heard any rumors? ā
Xu Songyuan didn't speak.
Xu Zhengyuan was a little anxious, "Didn't you hear everyone talking? This matter has become a foregone conclusion, the big businessmen and squires near Zhenjiang, anyway, as long as some of the family members have moved away, you didn't go to the East Market to see, Cuiyang Building is lively, they are all selling the fields near Zhenjiang, and the price has fallen home, but no matter how cheap it is, what's the use, no one will buy it." ā
"What does that mean?"
If it is profitable, no one is a fool, of course, they will take advantage of the low price to harvest those fields, but no one in Beijing has done anything, which proves that the situation in Zhenjiang is not optimistic.
The capital is the place where you can feel the changes in the political situation, the queen mother's illness gave the prince the best opportunity, of course the prince will not let go, even if someone wants to turn things around, I am afraid they don't have the strength.
It was too late.
"Is there really no one to buy it?" asked Xu Songyuan.
Xu Zhengyuan didn't know what to say, "You go and see for yourself, it's one-sided now, the people on the Queen Mother's side are worried about the Queen Mother's body, and when the taste is relieved, Han Zhang is afraid that he will lose the battle." ā
"Originally, it was more than 10 or 21 acres of land, but now no one wants 121 acres of land, and many people die in the war, even if there is land, who will plant it? It will not be able to recover the current situation in the next 10 years. ā
Xu Songyuan felt ridiculous, war was imminent, but everyone was concerned about these.
However, this time the prince's reaction was really fast, as if he had long expected that the queen mother would be sick, he found the impeachment of Han Zhang in Zhongshu Province early this morning, saying that Han Zhang found a stone with "nine" written on it in Lingbei last year and let people quietly give it to King Ning, and when King Ning went to worship the emperor this year, he put the stone around the tomb of the first emperor, and the stone is said to be able to increase the number of fortunes, and King Ning will add another fortune to his head, what will he become?
If the Queen Mother knows about this kind of thing, she will definitely instruct the imperial history to scold her back.
But now the Queen Mother is sick.
As soon as the Queen Mother fell ill, the impeachment of Han Zhang's self-respect floated in like snowflakes, and Han Zhang, a victorious general who was dedicated to the country, was described as a traitor who was greedy for money, lustful, and arrogant.
In case the emperor sees these twists and turns, moves his mind to get rid of Han Zhang, and lets the prince arrange it, then Han Zhang will definitely die.
Xu Zhengyuan was still talking bitterly, Xu Songyuan waved his hand, "I know, I just entered Zhongshu Province, I have the least qualifications, and my official position is low, no one will sell me favors, even if I want to manage this matter, I am powerless." ā
"That's right, among our brothers, the eldest brother can see it most clearly, otherwise why does my father always say that our Xu family has to rely on the eldest brother to glorify the ancestors," Xu Zhengyuan smiled and patted Xu Songyuan on the shoulder, "Our brothers haven't been drinking and talking together for a long time, and today my brother won't leave." ā
Xu Songyuan instructed his subordinates to prepare wine and food.
The brothers were eating, and the Xu family came to say, "Master, it's not strange that you say it's strange, there are still people over there in Cuiyang Building who have bought a lot of land, and they pick fat and thin, and they don't want any land that is a little worse, so they picked up the best fat land and took it away, and he even dared to buy the land in Zhenjiang City." ā
Xu Songyuan suddenly came to his senses, "Who is the person who bought the land?"
The Xu family shook their heads, "I heard that this person came here overnight, and after buying the land, he left Beijing immediately, and everyone only cared about selling the land, and they didn't even inquire about who this person's main family was." ā
Xu Zhengyuan took a sip of wine, "There are always one or two fools in the world, and it's not surprising. ā
Xu Zhengyuan was as drunk as mud, Xu Songyuan thought about it and wrote a letter to Liu Xian, and he decided to be one or two fools.
ā¦ā¦
Liu Xian is not a fool, he has seen the ups and downs in the court, and he also knows why Li Chengmao chose to visit him at this time.
Liu Xian and Li Chengmao didn't say a word, and they promised that the soldiers and horses in their hands would only guard Hangzhou City.
Liu Xian is old, and he just wants to go home safely.
Lu Wenrong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he swept away the decadence of many days, "Really say that?"
Li Chengmao said with a smile: "That's natural, brother Xian, brother Xian, you have made a great contribution this time, the prince has already asked me to tell me that when the matter of Zhenjiang is over, I must take you to see him." ā
It's done.
Lu Wenhuan was about to jump up with joy, but he immediately lowered his face again, "Those damn rogues haven't been found yet?"
Li Chengmao said, "The old lady is also a blessed person, the Ye family has also contributed when they hear about it, if you want to suppress the bandits, they are naturally the most capable way, you can rest assured that the old lady will come back safe and sound in the next day or two." ā
As soon as Li Chengmao's words fell, the subordinates at the door of the Lu family had already exclaimed, "The old lady, the old lady, and the second wife are back." ā
"The third master is also back. ā
Lu Wen hurriedly greeted him, and sure enough, he saw the old lady Lu who had been tortured and took off his human form, the old lady Lu looked better but kept coughing, and the second Mrs. Lu who followed them was unkempt like a beggar.
Before everyone could speak, Lu Ying had already stepped forward, "Father, let's let grandmother go and freshen up first." ā
Lu Wenrong then remembered that the shameful appearance of his father, mother, especially Wang, the fewer people saw it, the better, he waved his hand, and the servants immediately surrounded him.
Old lady Lu was frightened too much, seeing that Lu Wenrong opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, Lu Wenrong felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "Quick, invite the best Langzhong in Hangzhou." ā
Everything was arranged, and Lu Wenwei looked at Lu Ying in surprise, "You didn't stay in Zhenjiang, why did you come back?"
Lu Ying nodded to Cheng Yi, and Cheng Yi hurriedly beckoned the two of them to carry Li Xu into the door.
Li Chengmao didn't expect to see his son at this time, Li Xu's hair was stuck to his face, his face was pale, his eye sockets were deep, as if he had fallen into a fainting, and the whole person was wet as if he had just been fished out of a stinky ditch.
Li Chengmao shouted twice, "Xu'er, my Xu'er." ā
Li Xu opened his eyes slightly, but then fainted again.
Lu Ying said: "General Han let go of Brother Li, I was afraid that Brother Li would be in danger when he returned to Hangzhou alone, so I sent him over, who knew that I heard that my grandfather was robbed on the way, and I just met the Ye family who went to the rescue, so I followed, and fortunately saved my grandfather, grandmother and mother." ā
Li Xu was carried into the house to freshen up, and Li Chengmao was so angry that he screamed, "Han Zhang, this dog thief...... I, Li Chengmao, don't share the sky with him...... If I don't kill him this time, I'll ...... Not surnamed Li ......"
Seeing Lu Ying's surprised gaze, Li Chengmao knew that he had leaked his mouth, but he didn't want to explain, so he turned around and went into the house to look at Li Xu, at this time Li Xu had woken up in a daze, and when he saw Li Chengmao, he suddenly cried "wow", "Dad...... Father...... Child...... Child...... Want...... Die...... Finish...... It's mine...... Daddy, ......"
Lu Yinghu asked Lu Wenrong suspiciously, "Father, just now...... What did Li Shibo mean by that, and why did he ......?"
Lu Wenrong immediately covered it up, "You Li Shibo is angry and said nonsense," he paused, "I didn't expect you kid to have such a ability, no wonder the elders in the clan always praise you for acting steadily, and when you have time to spare, I will ask someone to help you find a famous Xixi seat in Hangzhou, you study hard and your father will definitely find an opportunity to send you to the office in the future." ā
Lu Ying lowered her head, "I knew that my grandfather would meet Liukou, so I should have come with me, and many people will always discuss more." ā
Lu Wenrong sighed, obviously not taking what Lu Ying said to heart, but just asked anxiously, "How is the Gu family......?" Gu Langhua, they all stayed in Zhenjiang?"
