575. in the first place

Chanyi smiled and nodded, this cousin of hers followed the elegance of the fifth uncle, and he could be regarded as a standout in Yunfu City in the future.

It's just that it's still a baby doll now, and I can't help but sigh.

She asked, "Is the makeup booster here?"

Generally, the elders will come to the bride's courtyard to explain some affairs after the makeup is completed.

Min said with a smile: "It's over, there are seven greeting masters today, and there are also the princes of Fuguo, and the sons of Lu Shangshu's family, the original lord was still surprised, saying how these two also became the greeting masters, and later Chen Ge'er said, because they were all stained with relatives, they added two more people to come in, so as to take an auspicious omen." ”

One of the sisters-in-law in the Xie clan couldn't help but smile and said: "Although all the children of the family who came here today, I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw the head of our house. ”

Chanyi knew that this sister-in-law was saying that the Xie family was rich, but the Xie family's current wealth was also an industry left from their ancestors three generations ago, and it had nothing to do with her grandfather in the Ministry of Industry.

She frowned, and the current situation had to be filled by Chu Shaoyuan, and the Xie family ...... She has never known the third uncle's thoughts, if she said the previous life, she knew better, the third uncle finally took over the stall left by her grandfather, but in this life, with Chu Shaoyuan's strong hand, I am afraid that the third uncle will have some twists and turns when he enters the cabinet.

This is not what she wants to see, after all, the Xie family has been close to her since she was a child, if the third uncle can't enter the cabinet, it will have some impact on the descendants of the Xie family in the future.

……

After asking for makeup and coming back, Xia Mingchen only felt that he was about to stiffen his laughter.

He went to freshen up and change his clothes, changed out of all his festive clothes, and after wearing his regular clothes, he felt more comfortable.

went to the flower hall and asked the next person to know that Chu Shaoyuan was resting in the Lanxin Courtyard, but fortunately, the Youran Courtyard where he lived was not far from the Lanxin Courtyard, and he arrived at the Lanxin Courtyard in a few steps.

Although Chu Shaoyuan's injuries seemed to be much better, he couldn't stand his running back and forth from left to right, so his body still inevitably felt tired, and he was nesting on the couch of Lanxin Courtyard to close his eyes and recuperate, but what he was thinking about was some affairs in the court.

Qin Bohou said that he was sent to Fujian by his father, but in fact, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he hid in Fujian, especially after arriving in Fujian, he recruited talents, recruited troops, Fujian's Haikou or Goguryeo's disguised Japanese people, Lin Lin was always a ghost made by Chen Jing alone, and now his whole family has been sentenced to be executed, just waiting for the autumn to be executed, I am afraid that the Yue family in Goguryeo will not give up, and the first person to bear the brunt is the person in the position of the Fujian General Army.

So, who is appropriate to push into the position of the Fujian commander-in-chief?

While he was pondering, Xia Mingchen entered the courtyard.

Xia Mingchen saw him lying listlessly on the couch, his face was a little pale, he threw the business aside, and opened his mouth with a little reprimand, "Don't run around if you're not in good health, it's not that you don't know Wanwan's temperament, if you go back like this, she can't blame me for tiring you?"

Chu Shaoyuan smiled slightly, and comforted him: "Big brother, don't worry, she knows that I came on her own initiative tonight, and I won't blame you, I still have something to tell you, if you want to reprimand, it's not too late to reprimand me when I finish talking to you." ”

Xia Mingchen was helpless, he didn't really mean to reprimand Chu Shaoyuan, but seeing him not taking his body seriously like this, he couldn't help it, he didn't want his sister to be widowed at a young age.

It's just that in the face of this smiling face, he can't always open his mouth to scold, so he simply finished the matter and ended it earlier, so that he could go back to his house to rest earlier.

"My father often mentions Fujian's government affairs these days, saying that this is a good opportunity for the second brother, and wants the second brother to take advantage of the fall of Qin Bohou this time, and get some affordable errands from it, I don't know the situation in Fujian, but I think it's about the same as the mess in the northwest, so I asked you to come back and ask you, if that's the case, it's better to take the second brother out, the province and Wang Jue seem to be trapped in it, and they can't pull it out。 ”

Xia Mingchen, as Xia Mingche's family, although he very much hopes that his younger brother can be in a high position and promoted all the way, but before that, he must first ensure the safety of his younger brother's life, seeing that Chu Shaoyuan, the prince, almost folded in, thinking that the second brother is such a weak scholar, I am afraid that something will be worse than Chu Shaoyuan, if such a promotion depends on his life, then it is better not to be.

Chu Shaoyuan nodded, "The water in Fujian is indeed very deep, but it is indeed a good opportunity for the second brother, but it is not yet the time, when the time is ripe, I will arrange the second brother, now the important thing is to arrange the position of the Fujian general army first, if my guess is right, after Qin Bohou's family serves their sentences, Fujian's peace has just begun, then the candidate for this general soldier is particularly important." ”

Xia Mingchen just guessed, he didn't expect Chu Shaoyuan to tell the truth like this, he pondered for a moment, and said, "When you went to Fujian, when you saw your uncle, what did he say?"

Chu Shaoyuan shook his head: "Uncle is a very decent person, he easily doesn't talk to me about gossip outside of political affairs, and most of what he talks about is defense and fortifications, that is, Qin Bohou's affairs, and my uncle is also because I came to deal with it on the order of my father, so he will say it in detail, otherwise he will only care about the people of Fujian, and these important court trends in our eyes, he is not so concerned, if I say it, my uncle is more suitable to be a governor than Wang Li." ”

When he said this, he suddenly paused, and his mind seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden, and he finally confirmed who was the most suitable person for the position of the Fujian general army.

Chu Shaoyuan couldn't help but smile, not everyone can do such a position as the Fujian General Army, and Wang Li has been coveting it for a long time, so it is better to simply fulfill him, but he also has to pay a relative price, in the end, where in this world is there anything that can be obtained without paying a price?

Xia Mingchen saw Chu Shaoyuan suddenly smiled, his brows furrowed, I don't know what idea he came up with, tilted his head and thought for a while, didn't see him speak, and couldn't help asking: "I think that my uncle has been in Fujian for several years, and some things are always clearer than those of us who know, but think about it, even with someone like my uncle, you can suffer such a big loss, and a weak person like the second brother, where can he eat left and right, naturally it is better to come back to Yunfu to be a hall official." ”

Chu Shaoyuan said: "Don't worry, the second brother always has to complete the fortifications in his hand before he can come back, but it is not suitable to be a hall official now, the second brother always has to go out to see more, accumulate some experience in officialdom, and then further promotion," he said while looking at Xia Mingchen, " Big brother doesn't have to worry about these things, just I'm in charge of the Ministry of Engineering now, no matter where the second brother goes in the future, I can get an idea, but big brother, you're here, I heard that there are several factions in the Shenji Battalion, if you really can't deal with it, I'll let you get into Yan Yunwei, okay?"

Xia Mingchen shook his head again and again: "Although the bigwigs in the Shenji Camp are divided into factions, but a small person like me is only in charge of some side affairs, and now is not a good time, even if I am put in Yan Yunwei, I am afraid that there will be all kinds of troubles, so let's wait and talk about my business, I came to you, one is for the second brother's business, and the other is for your business......"

Chu Shaoyuan was puzzled in his heart, and came for his business, he looked at Xia Mingchen: "I don't know what the eldest brother is talking about?"

Xia Mingchen frowned and said softly: "Don't talk about the rest, just say that you are in charge of the size of the Ministry of Industry, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I always feel that this is not a bad thing, but it is not a particularly good thing, do you know that even the prince did not have the power to be in charge of a yamen like you, I don't know if the emperor is holding you or what, but it always makes people feel a little uneasy." ”

Chu Shaoyuan was stunned, he still thought that Xia Mingchen came to him for something important, or for his promotion, or for something at home, in short, he would never have imagined that the important thing Xia Mingchen did turned out to be an intuition or a thought of his own.

His father gave him such a great right, and there were even more people who begged to come to the door like a carp crossing the river, and he had always been a soldier who would block the water and cover the earth, and no matter what his father asked him to do, he would try his best to do his best, so as to seek his father's appreciation.

It's just that after the first two things, he feels a little tired in his heart, and he can't help but start to wonder if his father has some other thoughts about himself, so that he will always let himself do some dangerous things like now, saying that it is a test, but in the end, he always has to fight with his life, and several times when life and death are on the line, he will also feel that his father is just using his life to pave the way for others.

And this other person, in addition to the prince, there is also a Chu Shaohan.

He didn't say these words to anyone, even if it was Wanzhao, he didn't mention it, he didn't believe Wanzhao, he was just afraid that she would worry, afraid that she would be scared all day long, just take this injury as an example, he fainted in the Qianyuan Hall was actually calculated, and he dared to faint with confidence after doing some homework in advance.

It's just that I didn't expect to do it too hard, resulting in involuntary injuries to my body, his previous old injury was to grit his teeth to survive, and the recovery was really not good, plus this time it was a menacing injury, his body after fainting became more and more bad, and Wanzhao stayed by his side day and night to take care of him.

Every time he wakes up from his sleep, whether he wants to drink water or the wound hurts, Wanzhao will wake up immediately, serve tea and pour water or comfort him, she is always very attentive, for fear that he will be wronged.

Even Xiaoshanju was proposed by Wanzhao to move to see the flowers, how could he not know that Wanzhao would make such a request completely for him, for fear that he would always remember what his aunt said in the Bishui Building, and he would always be sad.

As for Xia Mingchen, the eldest brother, he just couldn't bear to follow him to urge makeup at first, so he insisted on coming to Xia Mansion, but he didn't expect that he would solemnly pull him over and tell him because of an uneasy thought, and even refused what he said to give him a good future, just for the sake of his family's safety.

Chu Shaoyuan felt that the idea in his heart was becoming more and more warm.

A sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

What he had always longed for and envied, now he finally held it.

He couldn't help but think, when he really felt it, he realized that it was not as he imagined, it was not just heartwarming, but another, which made people tremble and burst into tears when he heard it, this feeling was very strange, but it unexpectedly made him feel happy.

He smiled and said, "Big brother, don't worry, since my father handed over the Ministry of Industry to me, some old accounts of the Ministry of Industry will be completely liquidated, otherwise how can I, as a prince, be in charge of the Ministry of Industry?"

Xia Mingchen saw that there was no reluctance in his smile, and his heart was also relaxed, he only felt that he had been thinking about these political affairs in the past few days, and seeing that Chu Shaoyuan didn't pay much attention to it, he threw these thoughts aside from a distance, and then sat down beside him, looking up at the sky outside a little lazily, and said:

"If I say this person, it's really a little strange, before Wang Jue didn't go to the northwest, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to complete the errand handed over by the emperor to him to recover the horse market, but now the horse market is finally in his own hands, but I feel a little troublesome, you don't know, the more bookkeeper around him is Zhu Xuan! Who is Zhu Xuan? When he is the champion of the dynasty, can he settle accounts? It really makes people feel a little unbelievable. ”

Nowadays, the world pays attention to the fact that a gentleman is not suitable for business, that is, a learned person will not go to be like a businessman, settle accounts and keep accounts, so it is very rare for civil officials to be able to read the account books and make the account books well.

And as a family of poets and calligraphers, how can the Zhu family, who are the head of the dynasty and Confucianism, not uphold this style?

It is Zhu Xuan who once managed the household affairs, and although the Zhu family has some family background, it is not enough to run a academy and recruit talents, and it is already a mountain and a river, and the remaining general affairs have a clue if you take care of it, unlike the Xie family, the family has a big business, that is, to read the account books, check the account books, and it takes more than a dozen shopkeepers to take out several days to get right, so when it comes to the end of the year, the big shopkeepers and two shopkeepers of the Xie family's shops are always busy and dizzy.

Chu Shaoyuan also understood this truth, he couldn't help but want to laugh, the Zhu family wanted to push their two sons forward, but they didn't know that their father didn't really like literati in his heart, and he had already faintly had a clue from when he was disgusted by Emperor Wuzong earlier.

And his father's road to the emperor is also extremely difficult, most of the military power in his hands has been divided, resulting in a long period of time after ascending the throne, he is unstable, this instability is reflected in his temperament is becoming more and more impatient and impatient, and he is also more and more suspicious and sensitive, whether it is the earlier literary prison, or in the matter of Anbei Hou and Qin Bohou, he always can't arrange it properly, but adopts a more drastic way.

He said in a low voice: "My father always feels a little guilty about the Zhu family, so he will give Zhu Xuan such an errand, the military affairs are the most oil and water, and the Zhu family has indeed reached the point of exhaustion, as long as Zhu Xuan is not too greedy, his father will turn a blind eye, so Wang Jue will be so distressed." ”

Xia Mingchen couldn't help but shake his head: "I really don't know what to think, I finally offered a champion, but I have to fold in such a place in the northwest for the rest of my life, and I can only come back for the New Year's holidays. ”

Chu Shaoyuan was amused by Xia Mingchen's moth-eating theory, he chuckled a few times in a low voice, and said: " If I am not wrong, the tranquility of Yanmen Pass will not last long, do you know that the Nine Kings of Tartar are still imprisoned in the prison of our Great Yan's Criminal Department, and when the Tatar prince quells the civil strife, he will welcome the Nine Kings back, and when the time comes, it is still unknown whether the civil strife will start again outside the Guan, or twist into a rope to attack our Dayan, I have lived outside the Guanguan for a while, and I know that this Tatar prince is not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later he will face each other. ”

It's just that he selfishly thought, if he can be later, try to be as late as possible, his foundation in Dayan is unstable, if he is in advance, I am afraid that his manpower is not as good as Bai Lang's hand, and only one of the military advisors who understand the Yan people, Chen Wenshu, will be difficult to deal with.

Xia Mingchen couldn't help but look at Chu Shaoyuan, "What you said, I also heard General Xiao mention, I think even if there is another war, the emperor will not send a prince like you to quell the war, although you have been to the northwest before, and you also know some defense in the northwest, but after all, it is the prince, we have so many generals in Dayan, and you almost couldn't come back from outside the pass before, even the ministers will not agree." ”

Chu Shaoyuan shook his head: "This matter is only suitable for me to go, and I have already prepared." ”

If he really fights with Bai Lang, he is afraid that it will be Bai Lang who will suffer, because he has never revealed all his details to Bai Lang, but he knows Bai Lang's details clearly, but this matter is a little far away.

He looked at Xia Mingchen with a smile, "Don't talk about this matter, just talk about it right now, the eldest brother doesn't have to worry about the affairs of Fujian, I will always take care of it, as for the second brother, I think he will be able to finish the work in another month or two, and I will probably be able to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry at that time, and after he gets married, I will assign him to another place, and when the time is ripe, he can be promoted." ”

Xia Mingchen didn't expect Chu Shaoyuan to think about these things so carefully, and he didn't have anything to say at the moment, seeing that his face was still a little pale, he couldn't help but talk about the previous topic.

"You still have to keep it at home these days, you don't have to walk around, you see you are not as fat as when you were at home, you look taller, but people are getting thinner and thinner, I don't want to lose my husband at a young age. ”

In the end, he actually said everything he thought in his heart.

Chu Shaoyuan laughed a little, and only a simple-minded person like Xia Mingchen dared to say this, and he was not afraid that he would not like it.

Seeing Xia Mingchen glaring at him with a serious face...... Well, he really stared at him, his eyes were wider than the copper bell, he hurriedly held back a smile, and promised again and again: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely live longer than the late sun, and I will die after the night light is in the ground, so okay?"

Xia Mingchen hurriedly snorted a few times: "What is not in the ground, it is too early to say this now, I, as an uncle, am still waiting to see my sister's children and grandchildren, and you should not say this kind of thing in front of Wanwan in the future, beware of making her unhappy." ”

It's still Xia Mingchen, who is a brother, who understands his sister's temperament, if he says it in front of Wanzhao, I'm afraid that he will be scolded.

So Chu Shaoyuan had no choice but to shrink his shoulders, hold back his words, and ask him with a smile if anything interesting had happened to him today.

After all, Xia Mingchen is also the first time to be a groom, and he is a teenager, and he is not facing outsiders, so he talked about today's makeup.

The room was full of air for a while, and there was no tension before.

……

Chanyi sat and waited for the ladies and ladies in the Xie family to leave, and then took out the things that had been prepared earlier.

It is a delicate dressing box, in which are placed large and small East and South Pearls, as well as a set of her newly painted heads, inlaid with a set of eye-catching rubies, which looks magnificent and eye-catching.

Chanyi opened it for Xie Feiyun to see, and said with a smile: "There is nothing good to give Sister Fei, these should all be my makeup." ”

Xie Feiyun couldn't help but be speechless, she was almost dazzled by the magnificent color, she picked up a few lotus seeds and rice-sized Dongzhu to look at it, and said in surprise: "You gave me such good jewelry and pearls, don't you need it yourself?

Chanyi shook her head and smiled: "My honor and dignity are earned by Chu Shaoyuan, the prince, even if I wear the same clothes and hairpins every time I go out, people will only say that Prince An is thrifty, and then they all come to compliment me, and there are even those who dress like me, believe it or not?"

Xie Feiyun naturally understands this truth, but what she has seen, but all the clan relatives are all dressed up brightly and dazzlingly, and they look noble from a distance, where will it be like what Chanyi said.
