When Gui Yuanlin's fish scale book came into Chu Shaoyuan's hands, he was discussing political affairs with Xia Mingche in the study.

Seeing the fish scales of this forest, and listening to Zhang Quanshun's explanation, he understood.

Frowning slightly, he had already found out the Ma family's background, so when he was dealing with the Ma family, he didn't really take the Ma family as a member of his command as rumored outside, but it was necessary to open the south of Sichuan, and it happened that there was a lack of such an entry point, and in addition to the Ma family, there was no faster and better candidate, so he had to make this kind of decision, and after that, if the Ma family was still the same as before, he couldn't tolerate it.

However, after he glanced at the fish scale book, he put away the coldness on his face, "Go back to the princess, this matter doesn't matter, if you really don't like to give it away, you don't have to worry about it like this." ”

Zhang Quanshun nodded, bowed and retreated.

Xia Mingche didn't know what was going on, and looked at him with some questions on his face.

Chu Shaoyuan said indifferently: "Someone sent a forest to Wanwan as a birthday gift, and Wanwan probably didn't like it very much, so he sent someone over to ask me, it's not a big deal," he explained a few words, and then continued the topic, "There are several mines of this type of pig iron, and this time you come over, just write down these places together and report them to your father." ”

Whether it is used by the people to make pots and stoves or kitchen knives, it is inseparable from pig iron, and the imperial court also needs iron ore to build weapons, so it has always been strictly controlled, after Chu Shaoyuan found that there was an iron mine in southern Sichuan, he also thought of it for his own use, but after all, such a big thing, it is impossible to cover it up, so he simply picked out the matter, and then held these iron ores in his hands, so that no matter what he needed, he could solve it nearby.

Xia Mingche nodded, but did not follow him down, but said, "There is another matter that is also very important," he said, looking up at Chu Shaoyuan, "Zhu Bi is very appreciated by Zhao Guangyao, and in recent days, Zhao Guangyao has frequently handed over some government affairs to him. ”

Chu Shaoyuan was a little strange that Xia Mingche would say this, Zhao Guangyao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was still supported by him, although he is now far away from Yunfu, but he has never broken off contact with Zhao Guangyao, but there is no correspondence between them, but in political affairs, Zhao Guangyao still cares for him very much, and when he was with him, Zhao Guangyao was biased towards him, otherwise he would not have supported Zhao Guangyao at the beginning.

"But what's wrong with Zhao Guangyao?" Chu Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, if Zhao Guangyao dared to have two hearts, he wouldn't mind letting Zhao Guangyao know that although he, the prince, was no longer in Yunfu, it would be easy to pull down the next Ministry of Works.

Xia Mingche saw that Chu Shaoyuan didn't understand what he meant after talking for a long time, so he simply said straightforwardly: " It's not that Zhao Guangyao has something wrong, but Zhu Bi, you know that his temperament is not the kind that will be flexible, now that there are many things, he is even more busy walking around, where do you care about what people are not humane, almost all the colleagues who have dealings with him are very headaches for him, not to mention far away, just say that the eldest cousin and the third cousin in Huguang and Guangzhou, they are in direct contact with Zhu Bi, originally thought that the Zhu family and the Xie family have an in-law relationship, and they can be more tolerant, but Zhu Biding is Ding Mao is Mao, which makes the two of them miserable. ”

If the people at the top are too tight, then the people at the bottom will have no oil and water, and how many people will work hard?

Chu Shaoyuan couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Zhu Bi is angry and resentful, it's okay, let him be so tight for a few days first, and when the pattern in the court changes in a few days, Zhao Guangyao will naturally not raise Zhu Bi again." ”

Xia Mingche said this, mainly to let Chu Shaoyuan know about some recent movements in the court, and seeing that he hadn't understood what he meant, he added: " In fact, what I'm worried about is not this, there are some things that I can't say very well, but the Zhu family is now a mess of porridge, Wenchanghou is seriously ill, Mrs. Tai has been guarding him, and the family affairs are handled by Mrs. Zhu, Zhu Lan and Princess Fengyi have long been at odds with each other, and now Zhu Ling has not entered the princess's mansion for half a year, Princess Fengyi is raising her face in the princess's mansion, and some time ago she almost made a fuss, and now the Zhu family is relying on Zhu Bi alone to support the scene. ”

That is to say, if the fourth prince still wants to recognize the Zhu family, the princess's foreign family, he will definitely hold Zhu Bi tightly, even if Zhu Bi is extremely unreasonable, the fourth prince can get what he wants from Zhu Bi.

And this is exactly what Xia Mingche is most worried about, so he took advantage of the iron ore in southern Sichuan to come here by trekking through mountains and rivers, wanting to have a breath with Chu Shaoyuan, and find a way to control the situation in such a turbulent period of the court, at least take precautions.

Chu Shaoyuan's heart moved slightly, the fourth child would let go of such a person as Zhu Bi, and he knew that it was impossible, the Zhu family was the Empress Dowager Zhu's foreign family after all, and the Empress Dowager Zhu had always been very important in her father's heart, and her father had always respected the Empress Dowager, so he gave all the glory and wealth to his uncle.

It's a pity that the Zhu family wants too much, and their hearts are too big and too wild, so they can make my father so bored.

His expression was slight, the color in his eyes was dark, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a sarcastic smile, and said a little sarcastically: "I'm not afraid that the fourth child won't make trouble, recently he has been withholding my food and salary here and not giving it over, or the ones sent over are some old rice, not only the entrance is not good, but also can not be stored, now I am at a loss, since there is such a thing, at least let him know, it's good." ”

said the opposite, but Xia Mingche has always been a person who has insight into opportunities, and the corners of his mouth are lightly raised, "It's good that you have an idea, other things are not in a hurry now, but what is urgent now is the late banquet, what are your plans?"

After finishing talking about political affairs, he jumped to private affairs, and it was also thanks to Chu Shaoyuan and Xia Mingche who grew up in the same family, otherwise such a big jump would be really unbearable.

Chu Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Originally, I didn't want to make a big deal of it, although I wanted to prepare a grand banquet for her, but since she didn't like it, I simply let her go, and only brought my family to gather together, which is also good." ”

Xia Mingche frowned, thought for a while, and said: "I don't think it's appropriate, if it's in Yunfu City, it's okay not to make a big deal, but not here, what you need now is momentum, and you can also use this banquet to indirectly remind the emperor that although you are married, why did you get married in the first place, at least it will make the emperor feel guilty, so you must do it grandly." ”

Chu Shaoyuan couldn't help but think about it when he heard Xia Mingche's words.

When the two of them got married, there were quite a lot of twists and turns, first he was killed, and then Wanwan was slandered in various ways, and then finally gave marriage, but he inserted a Queen Mother Zhu, at that time he was very unhappy, so he pretended to be depressed for a while in front of his father, and then his father regretted him, so he did not let go.

And these days, one thing after another, more and more frequent, he is afraid that at this juncture, there are many people who want to take advantage of the Xie family's power to step on it, he is unwilling to do so many things by himself, but has become someone else's pedal.

"In this way, will it make Wanwan tired?" Even after thinking about it so much, he was still a little distressed about Chanyi's body, "She suffered on the way here, and her body has just recuperated in the past few months, and I don't want her to work." ”

Xia Mingche smiled: "Why do you think I came with me?"

One sentence made Chu Shaoyuan understand that with him, Xie and Xiao Qing to help him, Xie and Xiao Qing together, where would Chanyi be tired?

Chu Shaoyuan also smiled: "Then there is Second Brother Lao, I thank Second Brother for Wanwan." ”

Xia Mingche didn't take his thanks: "Wanwan is my sister-in-law, what do you want you to take her to thank me?" Originally, it should have been me, the elder brother, to share the burden for my sister, and I came to let you know that although it is far away, if you are not good to Wanwan, I am not without a way!"

When he became serious, Xia Mingche's beautiful face was really able to bluff people.

Chu Shaoyuan didn't think it was pestle-pestle: "When I left the pavilion in the evening before, the eldest brother said this to me, and now the second brother said it again, if I really don't treat Wanwan badly, wouldn't I be beaten twice?"

He laughed as he spoke, "I feel like it's worth the loss when I think about it!"

It's a shame that Chu Shaoyuan is still a prince, if he changes to someone else, I'm afraid that he will sink his face immediately, Xia Mingche nodded in his heart, knowing that he at least now cherishes his sister in his heart, and this is enough.

Chanyi was talking to Xie Shi and Xiao Qing in the main room, and her eyebrows fluttered just now, and suddenly she sneezed twice, which was earth-shattering.

Xie Shi hurriedly looked over, with a little pity in his eyes: "Look at you, you must be unhappy, in previous years, when you were at home, you had a bitter summer, and now that you are here, isn't there no tiger in the mountains, let you do whatever you want?"

As he spoke, he instructed the maid to boil ginger syrup.

Chanyi flattened her mouth, and couldn't help but refute her mother's words, in fact, she didn't suffer from the wind and cold at all, but her mother was so nervous.

Yan Dai looked at her with envy on the side, if her father and mother were still there, she must be as gentle as Mrs. Xia, but unfortunately, when she was still in infancy, her mother and father were no longer there, although she had no resentment in her heart, she still felt regretful.

When the sugar water was served, Yan Dai was surprised to find that she also had a share.

Xie Shi looked at herself in surprise when she saw her, and smiled slightly: "You little ladies of this age are all the same, both greedy for cold and love to eat some cold food, if you don't take good care of your body, you will fall sick in the future, the ancients said well, eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and the three of you obediently drink the sugar water in one bowl and one bowl." ”
