Zuo's death did not cause much ripples, but the king of Shu was released because of this, kneeling silently at the door of the emperor's palace, and finally asked for a nickname for his mother, and was buried as a virtuous concubine.

"Niangniang...... "Father-in-law Fang looked at Concubine Liang cautiously and said, "The emperor has ordered the Internal Affairs Office to start renovating Prince Li's Mansion, according to the disclosure of the Internal Affairs Office, the materials and furnishings inside are all based on the Prince's specifications. ”

Concubine Liang snorted coldly, "Naturally, the prince lives in the prince's mansion, do you still need to inquire about this?

Gonggong Fang was a little embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said: "Today, Yijing Palace has issued an order to invite the families of the third rank and above in the court to enter the palace, and several ladies are here with their young daughters. ”

"Smack-" A cup of tea shattered in front of Father-in-law Fang's toes, making Father-in-law Fang tremble. I saw Concubine Liang's eyes bulging, gloomy danger brewing in her sockets, and then looking at her hands, which were tightly gripping the armrests by the couch, the white knuckles showing her forbearant anger.

The cold and hard voice that came out of between his teeth said: "Bengong really underestimated her, she shouldn't have been allowed to survive in the first place." ”

"Mother, it's too late to say this, think about what to do next. Gonggong Fang persuaded, "His Royal Highness King Liang is still counting on you." ”

Speaking of King Liang, Concubine Liang immediately calmed down, she said: "Looking at the emperor's favor for Concubine Shu, it can be seen that the Nine Emperors have made great contributions." ”

Gonggong Fang saw that Concubine Liang's face was gloomy, and he hurriedly said: "Niangniang, it doesn't matter if the Nine Emperor Princes have made meritorious contributions, what matters is what is the attitude of Prince Rui who suppressed the bandits together towards the Nine Emperor Princes? ”

Concubine Liang looked back at him slowly, "You mean that Zhao Jingyi has already chosen Lao Jiu?"

Father-in-law Fang hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, the old slave doesn't mean that, the prince is loyal to the emperor, how can he stand in line so confused, the old slave is just worried that the prince is biased, which will be detrimental to His Royal Highness's plans." ”

Concubine Liang walked a few steps slowly, biting her lip and unwillingly: "Why doesn't this palace understand, the emperor has also spent a lot of effort on him, and even promoted the concubine of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, but the effect is very small." ”

Gonggong Fang thought for a while and smiled: "Niangniang, the Rui Wangfu has a mediocre relationship with the Yongning Hou Mansion, otherwise the third lady should enter the Rui Wangfu." But if you want to say that there is a gap, the number of rituals for the prince's New Year's holidays is not falling, and it feels very subtle. ”

Concubine Liang nodded, "What do you see?"

"The old slave has a humble opinion. Father-in-law Fang said, "The prince rarely appears in the Hou Mansion, but every time he goes, he must take the prince with him, and the one who visits him is Mrs. Tai." The children of the prince don't like their grandmother and grandfather, so they like to live in the Hou Mansion with the cousin Lin Xi, and the prince is also very relieved, over time, this prince is accompanied by this cousin when he arrives in the Hou Mansion. ”

"Lifesavers are always different. Concubine Liang said indifferently.

Father-in-law Fang responded: "But what is the identity of the prince, who has he been enthusiastic about, but it is really different to think about this Lin Xi, the old slave sent someone to inquire, Lin Xi and the crown gift, the prince was personally present to congratulate, and he stayed for a long time before leaving, but Lin Xi has a lot of relationship with the Nine Emperor Princes......

"At the beginning, the palace knew that this person would be a threat! The damn ledger made the emperor miss the position of the crown prince, and now it seems that the relationship between the Rui Wangfu and Zhao Jingyu will be even closer through him!"

"Mother, there's another news. ”

Say. ”

Father-in-law Fang leaned in and whispered: "I heard that the emperor intends to marry the Jing'an County Lord in Fengci Palace to Lin Xi, so I will wait for this year's Spring Festival." ”

Concubine Liang was surprised, "Jing'an, didn't you say that you want to marry Zhao Jingyi?"

Father-in-law Fang shook his head, "It seems that the Queen Mother has changed her words." ”

Concubine Liang was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered, and asked idly: "Jing'an is afraid that she is unwilling, right?"

Father-in-law Fang smiled and said, "Niangniang is wise." ”

Concubine Liang tugged at the corners of her mouth and glanced at Gonggong Fang with slanted eyes, "Who in this palace can't see it?" But this is the decision of the emperor and the queen mother, and she can't help it." ”

Fang Gonggong said: "Although there is only one Jing'an county lord left in the Zhenxi Palace, the old department of the Zhenxi King is still there, and this part of the power is now maintained to the county lord, if you marry Lin Xi, the Nine Emperor Princes will be like a tiger." ”

Concubine Liang sank her face and looked at him.

"Niangniang, the county lord is infatuated, why don't we help?"

Concubine Liang's eyes lit up, but in a blink of an eye, she faded again, "What's the difference between not marrying Lin Xi and marrying Zhao Jingyi?"

"Ouch, my mother, no matter how good this relationship is, if the same woman is involved, it should be a stranger if he doesn't turn against him. ”

Concubine Liang's slender fingers with finger gloves gently rested on Father-in-law Fang's arm and smiled.

At this time, Mei Xiang, the palace maid, walked in, owed to Concubine Liang, and leaned in and whispered a few words into her ear.

Father-in-law Fang looked at it, and saw a flash of surprise on Concubine Liang's face, and then smiled.

"It's the right time to come, go to the warehouse immediately, tonic herbs are indispensable, and I must take good care of them when I tell you to go down. ”

"Two masters, please come here. ”

Xiao Er of Feng Laiju diligently led Xiao Yuheng and Lin Xi to the private room on the second floor.

After entering the table and serving tea, Xiao Er retreated, Lin Xi asked: "It's hard to take a break today, why don't you go home to accompany your sister-in-law?"

Xiao Yuheng opened the folding fan with a snort, fanned it twice, watched Lin Xi suddenly come in, and took a closer look, seeing that Lin Xi was a little inexplicable and uncomfortable.

Lin Xi fell back and asked, "What flowers do you see?"

Xiao Yuheng raised his eyebrows, sat up straight, put away the folding fan and said with a smile: "What kind of flower? Is it considered a moldy flower? It's right to close the door and study hard, but the door doesn't go out of the second door, are you all beautiful?"

"That's it?" Lin Xi glanced at him boredly and drank tea, "Time waits for no one, it's only a few months since the Spring Festival, I didn't do well in this exam, and the teacher had to be expelled from the division when he spoke, I didn't dare to listen to it as a joke." ”

"Come on, I'm in the Hanlin Academy, I've also seen the papers of your township exam, and it's safe to take the Jinshi exam, what are you afraid of, it's just a matter of choosing words and making sentences and then embellishing them. Candidates from all over the country have arrived one after another, and there are several poetry meetings, flower parties, and tea parties, large and small, so don't you participate?"

"It's boring. ”

Xiao Yuheng directly shook his head and sighed: "Brother, my experience, although most of these literati are together to show off the strong officials and nobles, but they are only famous, and it is easy to make the examiner leave an impression......" Speaking of this, he saw Lin Xi pursed his lips and looked at him, Xiao Yuheng suddenly smiled, "Okay, you have made a name in front of the emperor, this is a province." It's just that if you want to be an official, Mr. Bai should have said that this relationship between classmates and classmates, and don't look at the level of other people?"

Lin Xi said boredly: "Is my cousin just talking about this today?" My brother knows, don't worry, wait a while, the candidates from all over the country will be almost there, and I will come out." ”

"Looks like I'm worried. ”

Lin Xi smiled, "If it's nothing, ......"

"Alas, wait. Xiao Yuheng stopped him and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back, and I don't have time to have a meal with my brother?" ”

At this time, Xiao Er brought the dishes up and scalded another pot of wine.

So Lin Xi had to sit down again.

Pouring the wine, Lin Xi took a small sip and put it aside.

Xiao Yuheng said in a low voice: "The case in the west is over, the army has already set off to return, that one is not good, but these two ...... How?"

Xiao Yuheng dipped his fingers in tea and wrote five on the table, then drew a cross on it, then wrote three and nine, and finally looked up at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was slightly surprised, "How do I know this?"

"Mr. Bai likes this one, right?" Xiao Yuheng pointed to nine.

Lin Xi didn't nod or shake his head, blinking his eyes was very innocent.

Xiao Yuheng smiled bitterly, and then said: "I also think that this one seems to be more reliable, just because of this case, many officials in the DPRK and China are already optimistic about him, but ...... Our second aunt and grandmother do. ”

Xiao Jinlan!

Lin Xi suddenly frowned.

"Yesterday I reported the good news, Dao was pregnant for two months, the doctor said that it was likely to be a male fetus, and the good concubine Niangniang gave a reward on the same day, and I heard that it was extremely heavy. Mother couldn't take Aunt Mei to visit the second aunt and grandmother in the Liang Palace, and came back to say that all kinds of valuable tonic pills were moved to the second sister's house, and the whole palace was carefully held, even the original Princess Liang didn't have this treatment, which made people panic. ”

After speaking, Xiao Yuheng took a sip of the wine in the cup and sighed: "Father and fourth uncle don't know what to do, cousin, what do you say?"

When Xiao Jinlan entered the Liang Palace, she should have thought of today's scene, Lin Xi said: "The child has not been born yet, no one can say whether it is a boy or a girl, besides, Princess Liang herself has a son-in-law, and her cousin ...... To put it mildly, it's just a concubine, and the Centennial Hou Mansion shouldn't be forcibly tied to the boat by a concubine, unless the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle suddenly have this idea because of this child. What do you think, cousin?"

Xiao Yuheng looked up at Lin Xi, the young man in front of him was gentle and quiet, and he had long since lost the thinness and helplessness he saw at first sight, and he looked extremely reliable, but his eyes were gentle but his eyes were extremely sharp.

He poured wine and said, "After the second sister entered the Liang Wangfu, the attitude of the Liang King towards her towards the Hou Mansion in the past few years is obvious to all. ”

"The fourth uncle is the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division!"

"We all know that the second sister asked her mother to bring a message, saying that King Liang had a business in the south, and directly divided 10% of the dry shares to the Hou Mansion. ”

Lin Xi frowned, "What business?"

"Sea. ”

Lin Xi was puzzled, "On the sea?"

Xiao Yuheng nodded.

"Isn't it forbidden by the sea?"

Xiao Yuheng glanced at Lin Xi, "There are a lot of rare goods from overseas in this capital, not all of them come from the south. Although the capital is in the north, there will always be a trace of the relationship with the south, and the top will turn a blind eye. ”

Lin Xi muttered, "Why don't I know?"

"You?" Xiao Yuheng smiled, "I didn't even stand firm on my heels, how do I know, I only learned a little bit about it recently, and the water is deep inside." King Liang's business is absolutely profitable, and this dry stock is very attractive. ”

"The bait is always sweet. ”

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yuheng opened the fan to cover half of his face, approached Lin Xi, and asked in a low voice, "Xi'er, tell your brother accurately, which one do you like?"

Lin Xi pushed him away and was happy, "Can I believe what a person who has no fame at all?"

Xiao Yuheng said with a straight face: "If others don't believe it, I believe it." ”

"Okay, then don't stand anyone, don't move secretly, King Liang, I never believed him, you better not take the dry shares he gave you. ”

Xiao Yuheng was surprised, "You know?"

Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, with a little disdain at the corner of his mouth, "With his little guts, he only dares to secretly woo you." Okay, after eating, hurry back to accompany your sister-in-law, what a mess, a good man should still take care of his wife and children. ”

Xiao Yuheng shook his head, "I finally said that something came out, so I won't go back for the time being, I'll go to you." ”

Lin Xi didn't get rid of him in the end.

But now that he came out, he still went to the study, bought some paper and ink, and flipped through the latest question book by the way.

This is close to the spring season, and all major bookstores have sold past exam questions, what are the final volumes of the top three in the last session, and there are even various colleges that have speculated on the topics of this year, in short, there is quite a posture of mock exam papers in later generations.

And Xiao Yuheng was really bored to follow all the way.

When he arrived at the Lin Mansion and sat down to drink tea, Lin Xi finally asked him strangely, "Don't you want to go back?"

"Sit down for a while and leave, you know that the second sister is pregnant, and the whole house is already annoying, and today the third sister is back again, and she is also pregnant. ”

"It's a good thing to be pregnant, what are you going to do when you go back to your parents' house?"

"My sister-in-law, I don't know what I did to my unlucky brother-in-law, I came back angry, pulled my mother and your sister-in-law to cry, crackling is a scolding for my brother-in-law. Now that he has a body, he is even more proud like a rooster, and he is right about wrong, and it is estimated that his brother-in-law does not kowtow and kneel, don't want her to go back. ”

Since Li Rang was drunk that day, Xiao Yuheng's senses for this brother-in-law who was older changed instantly, and his words were full of sympathy.

Lin Xi was silent for a while, and did not comment on Xiao Jinxin.

"To be honest, if it weren't for my own sister-in-law, I wouldn't have bothered to care about her, what kind of domineering things I did, I didn't bother to listen, I hid out, and I didn't have to look at Li Rang's unlucky guilt. ”

Lin Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"By the way, my grandmother will send someone to tell you in a few days, take a sunny day, go to the Pure Buddha Temple to offer incense, worship the Bodhisattva for you, bless you in high school, and by the way, the family will have a good time. ”

"My grandmother has a heart. ”

Xiao Yuheng smiled, "Her old man has already started chattering, and she will wait for the end of the palace test to set up the wine." 166 Reading Network
