Entering the room at night, Chanyi hammered a sore shoulder, although she was often sick at home before she left the cabinet, but this was the first time that she was tired of traveling outside, and it was such a hard work for several days in a row, that is, she was healthy, and she was a little unbearable.

After washing up casually, she was already tired, and lay lazily on the bed, originally to wait for Chu Shaoyuan to come back from a banquet with Qiao Zheng, the governor of Youzhou, in the front yard and talk to him, but Chu Shaoyuan never came back, she fell asleep in a daze when she waited, and when she opened her eyes again, Chu Shaoyuan was already helping her take off her coat.

"Why are you so confused, I don't know how to take off my clothes when I sleep, it's so uncomfortable, come, raise your arm, I'll take off your coat," Chu Shaoyuan whispered softly in her ear, "Save yourself from shouting that your arm hurts again when you get up tomorrow." ”

She rubbed her eyes in confusion and raised her arm to save him some effort.

The tone was weak: "Are you done with things?"

Chu Shaoyuan saw that she was so sleepy that she almost lost the strength to speak, and his heart suddenly felt extremely sorry, "Since you are so tired, you should settle down early, why wait for me all the time, if I don't come back tonight, you still have to wait on your stomach like this all night?"

Chanyi hugged his arm, shook it a few times, and said coquettishly: "You are not here, I can't sleep well, my grandmother and Miss Jiang took medicine early and fell asleep, and I don't know if their illness can get better tomorrow morning." ”

Chu Shaoyuan stroked her sideburns lovingly, what the doctor prescribed was not a panacea, where could it get better so quickly, he knew in his heart that she was so anxious when she saw her grandmother's condition getting worse day by day these days.

Kissing her forehead, his voice was full of tenderness: "Then take a good rest today, and wait until tomorrow morning to see your grandmother, maybe it will really get better." ”

Chanyi nodded casually, hugged his arm and nested beside him like a kitten, and fell asleep again before he finished speaking.

Chu Shaoyuan stroked her fine long hair while thinking about what the governor of Youzhou had said to him.

“…… Wei Zeming is derelict in his duties or something else, his subordinates do not know, but he still has some power in Youzhou, and Youzhou is the ancestral home of Liang Ge Lao, although Liang Ge Lao is deceased, but the Liang family is still a big clan in Youzhou, there are many clansmen, if the prince has anything to investigate, you can start from here, as for the land of Sichuan and Gui, Xia Guan heard that there are many factions in that territory, and he is afraid that he will lose the opportunity by not knowing the situation and rashly intervening, but it is better to start with the General Military Mansion. ”

General Soldier's Mansion, are you talking about Gu Zhongyong, the Duke of Ningguo?

Chu Shaoyuan was cold in his heart, what kind of character Gu Zhongyong was, although he didn't understand, how could he be a good match if he could have an in-law with Anbei Hou.

But it doesn't matter, what are they thinking, he knows very well, the left is just some power struggle, it's not interesting, he hasn't put it in his eyes in a small place like Chuangui, his father wants to put him in Chuangui to suffer, and he wants him to subdue Chuangui's forces, it's not a big deal.

He stared at Chanyi's sleeping face, and the amber eyes reflected a faint light.

The fourth child who stumbled him, I really want to know what kind of expression is on his face now, he faintly evoked a happy smile, but the mockery in the smile was a little strong.

……

Chu Shaohan never knew that collecting taxes would be so difficult.

He is a dignified prince, and now he has been reduced to collecting taxes from the officials, but he is always shirked by various reasons, although he was not anxious at first, and he deliberately delayed, so that the little officials who came from the clouds could see how decadent he was doing, but the more he got to the back, the more he felt that it was wrong, and now he looked at it again, and it had been half a month but he had not even collected a third!

Seeing that there were still ten days left before the end of January, if he did not collect all the money, perhaps his father would blame him again.

Chu Shaohan was in a hurry, and went to the wharf of Caoyun every day to see, but how to see what the result was, but there was an autumn rain that could not sail, or there was a strong wind on the river, and the transport boats overturned a few times, and the rice and grain were turned into the river.

Almost every day is such perfunctory, he doesn't believe it, but he is helpless.

And Zhu Ji has become more and more like a princess since she left Yunfu City, and when she first arrived in Jinling City, she often had relatives of Chu Shaohan's officials' family who came to visit or ask for peace, and she was so busy every day that she was dizzy.

She was anxious about Chu Shaohan's collection of taxes in Jiangnan, seeing that Chu Shaohan was busy all day long, although she had dislike it before, but husband and wife were one, if he was disgusted by the emperor, what dignity did she have, so she discussed with Chu Shaohan, and invited the wife of Wang Yun, the imperial history of Zuodu, to come to the house as a guest.

Mrs. Wang is sleek, in her forties, her eyes are particularly shrewd, restrained and a little mean, when she looks at Zhu Jin, she always has a smile on her face, but the smile is not transparent into her eyes, and she looks very insincere, which makes Zhu Ying very disgusted.

Xu is Zhu Jin's idea to cover up her kung fu is not at home, and Mrs. Wang is not a good person, looking at Zhu Jin's eyes more and more presumptuous: "Princess, don't blame me for speaking straight," she looked at Zhu Ying with a smile, "Although our lord is in charge of Cao Yun, there is a governor of Liangjiang above, and our lord is also powerless." ”

This is the word of shirk, although the official title and power of the governor of Liangjiang are much greater than that of the Zuodu Yushi who is in charge of Caoyun, but Caoyun is no better than others, that is, the governor of Liangjiang is here, how can he be such a master?

You must know that if you can't collect the grain and pay taxes, the emperor will bear the brunt of it, so he will ask these officials who collect the grain, what does it have to do with the governor of Liangjiang?

Zhu Yu held the teacup in his hand tightly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and pulled a smile on his face: "In the end, Mrs. knows a lot of things, although I am a princess, but I am still young, and Mrs. needs to mention these things more on the side." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled and said twice: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Zhu Yu sneered in his heart, don't you dare to embarrass me here? Since you know what you don't dare, it is better to do the errand well than everyone dying together!

So she changed her words and said: "Madame also knows that this time the tax matter, the prince is just an assistant, the prince has just arrived in this Jinling City, he doesn't know anything, let alone what taxes and grain mess are messy, he only knows that the emperor wants to collect taxes, so he is busy collecting taxes every day, even if he can't collect them, the emperor will never punish too much, after all, the prince is still young, but the words of others may not be, madam, you say that this is the reason?"

Mrs. Wang naturally understood the meaning of Zhu Ying's words, although she underestimated this princess, but in the end it was the daughter of the Zhu family, and it was the head of the way to say the truth, but there was one thing, I am afraid that the four princesses were not clear, the emperor was called the assistant of the master, and it was the four princes who were in charge of the grain and taxes, and the responsibility of the big head was not on the lord, and although the governor of Liangjiang could not control the affairs of Cao Yun on the surface, he always had to meddle in the military defense of the river.

Even if the harvest is just right, after this few waters, there is not much left, so every year they can only try to collect more, so they can only try their best to collect more, so as to honor these top bosses.

This year is good, the original harvest is poor, and a new greedy governor of Liangjiang, their Wang family has not yet gotten the benefits, they have been stripped away by this Ma Youren, which makes the old man have a hard time and can't say, so he had to slow down the collection of grain, which dragged two times, but dragged the four princes in.

She originally said that this matter would not be easy to do, but the old man thought that she had been ostracized over the years, and asked her to contact the four princesses more so that she could get some benefits from it, so she had to come up hard, but how did she know that this princess was a bad person, but she didn't understand what she was talking about at all, and wanted to force her to tell the truth, but in the end, she didn't do anything, but suspected that she shirked it.

Mrs. Wang sighed in her heart, this princess's brain is not bright enough!

So Mrs. Wang had no choice but to say more bluntly: "Princess, you don't know, although our lord is in charge of grain, but if the people can't hand it over, can we still force it with a knife?"

Zhu Yu wondered in his heart, so he simply asked directly: "Why can't you pay it?"

Madame Wang was extremely powerless, she had already said that it was because of the Governor of Liangjiang, why did she ask so bluntly? Could it be that she really couldn't understand the meaning of her words? Or did these nobles deliberately ask questions as if they didn't understand her because they wanted to see her ugly?

Mrs. Wang thought like this, her face also pulled down suddenly, she had a cold face, and at this moment the smile on her face was gone, only a mean face remained, "Doesn't the princess really know who Ma Youren, the governor of Liangjiang, is?"

Zhu Ji heard the Governor of Liangjiang again and again, he didn't think about it again or twice, three or five times, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this Governor of Liangjiang stretched his hand too long and over-fished his head, so that there would be today's thing?

She thought about looking at Mrs. Wang's face again, only to find that the expression on her face had become extremely ugly, with a blue color in the white, no smile at all, and a little bitter look.

It wasn't until Mrs. Wang was sent away that she told the four princes about it carefully.

The fourth prince was an extremely smart person, and as soon as he heard Mrs. Wang's words, he understood that this matter of luck must be the fault of the governor of Liangjiang.

He couldn't help but glance at Zhu Jin, who was still meditating, and the disgust in his heart was even worse.

Now that he married him, he realized that not only did he not have half a point of beauty, but he was even so low in intelligence, and he couldn't even hear such simple words, but he was thinking about things all the time, refusing to think about the right path, and being jealous with a few singers all day long.

Where is this the bearing that a wife in the main room should have, this is not even as good as a concubine!
