Chapter Eighty-Five: Bother
Xiao Mingyan nodded clearly when he heard this: "Brother Huang's means are clever, it is not surprising that the plot is in his hands." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"However, this matter does not seem to be going so smoothly for the eldest prince, Your Highness just heard that they are looking for another group of people?"
"Exactly. Listen to them, there are still people looking for mines. ”
"So, there may be two treasure maps, and the two groups have met before."
Gu Chuhuan suddenly felt a little worried, could the other treasure map really be in Xiao Liran's hands?
It seemed that seeing that Gu Chuhuan was worried, Xiao Mingyan said with concern: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, it's dawn, let's hurry up!"
Shaw House.
"Why did my father come here so early?"
"I'm idle, I'll come and see your door open. Ran'er, in half a month is Mrs. Guan's birthday, can you prepare the gift properly? ”
"It's ready, it's the jade Ruyi that Rong sent me a while ago, it is rumored that it was obtained from a master of the Western Regions, and it is in excellent condition."
Xiao Wenbang nodded and said, "Old Madam Guan has also seen the world, so she will naturally know the value of this jade at that time." Ye Houye's filial piety is known to everyone, if you take care of Old Madam Guan well, then you and Miss Gu's affairs will be greatly increased. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Liran was a little puzzled: "Why didn't my father let Li Ran get close to Ye Zihan, the daughter of the Ye family?" If I can marry Qin Jin with her, wouldn't it be more beneficial to me? Besides, the child heard that Mrs. Guan didn't like Miss Gu very much......"
Xiao Wenbang smiled meaningfully when he heard this, he didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Ran'er, not to mention whether Miss Gu has a solid foundation in the Ye family, my father only asks you, how does Ye Hou Ye treat her?" ”
Xiao Liran said without thinking: "As far as the child knows, Master Hou loves Miss Gu very much, even better than Ye Zihan. ”
"That's right, what we want to win over is Ye Boxian, I see that Miss Gu is a shrewd person, and Hou Ye will definitely listen to her words. And it is precisely because the old lady doesn't like Miss Gu, so she wants to send her out earlier, you are interested in Miss Gu, isn't it just as she wants? ”
Xiao Liran seemed to understand.
"Besides, being a father has nothing to do with it, if you rashly ask to marry the daughter of the Ye family, you will inevitably encounter a lot of obstacles, and the old lady will not be able to pass that hurdle. Our purpose is to win over Ye Boxian, so what is the difference between Gu Chuhuan and Ye Zihan? ”
Xiao Wenbang's words were on the point, which made Xiao Liran pause, and he said sincerely: "The father is thoughtful, and the child admires." ”
"However, your mind is not under the father's mind, but you still lack some experience. You just have to remember that as long as it helps you ascend to the throne of God, it doesn't matter who the other person is. ”
"The child remembers his father's teachings."
Xiao Wenbang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and changed the topic again: "A few days ago, you said that there was another group of people looking for it in the mine, how is the investigation now?" ”
"I don't have a clue yet, there are eight or nine people on the other side, and our people don't dare to rush into the search, so we can only avoid it first."
"I've ordered eight dead soldiers to go there to support, and it's always a matter of concern not to find out where the other party came from."
"Not long after I got the silver mine map, the boy drowned in the well, and the child thought it was strange......"
"Yes, according to this, it is very likely that another copy of the treasure map has been taken by someone else."
"In fact, the treasure map is useless in the eyes of ordinary people, after all, mining is not an easy task...... The child suspects that someone from the royal family has obtained the mine map for future use. ”
"I think this way for my father, and at the moment, the eldest prince is the most suspicious."
Xiao Liran was a little nervous when he heard this: "If it is Xiao Zhengyuan, then this matter will be tricky......"
Xiao Wenbang smiled: "Privately opening a mine is a capital crime, and now the matter of seizing the heir has not yet reached the time of a backwater, even if it is Xiao Zhengyuan, he will never dare to open a mine easily." Moreover, he knew that others knew about the mine, and he did not dare to act rashly. So no matter who you are, don't worry too much right now. For now, you only need to care about Miss Gu, and your father will take care of the rest. ”
Xiao Liran seemed a little annoyed, he dragged out his voice and said: "The day before yesterday, the child went to find Miss Gu's girl Chun Tao, and she said that Miss Gu went to the mountain to worship the Buddha and would take a month to return home. But she didn't tell the child about it beforehand. ”
Xiao Wenbang's expression was a little angry, and he reprimanded with a little dissatisfaction: "Where do you use your cleverness on weekdays? She was just a fireworks girl before, if you did your best against her, how could she resist your attack? If you can't even handle a little woman, what ability do you have to fight for the unattainable throne of the emperor? ”
Xiao Wenbang rarely got angry with Xiao Liran, and it was the first time he said such a thing, and Xiao Liran was terrified when he heard it.
"It's careless, don't worry, the child will handle this matter."
Xu felt that his tone was too harsh, and Xiao Wenbang slowed down a little: "Attacking people, you used to treat other women for the time being, put it away for the time being, show some sincerity and ability, and believe that you will be able to succeed for your father." ”
While speaking, the housekeeper knocked lightly outside the door: "Master, Lord Zhao is here." ”
Xiao Wenbang hurriedly opened the door: "Hurry up, please, go and bring the big red robe from my study." ”
Not long after, Zhao Moqun entered the study under the greeting of the father and son.
After a few words of greeting, Zhao Moqun looked at Xiao Liran and said straightforwardly: "Liran, this period of busy official business depends on you in the future, how are you prepared here?" ”
Xiao Liran replied respectfully: "Uncle Zhao, everything is still in the plan. It's just that Ye Hou Ye is in a high position and is not easy to talk to. ”
Zhao Moqun's face was expressionless, he just nodded: "This matter is very important, I can't speak directly on Ye Houye's side, everything has to rely on you." Although the emperor has agreed to let you participate in the battle for the storage position, it is only a one-year period, so it is better to hurry up. ”
Xiao Wenbang's vicissitudes of life were full of smiles: "For so many years, Zhao Shangshu has been worried about this child, Xiao really doesn't know how to thank ....."
"Eh, Brother Xiao's words are outside, Li Ran, this kid is also what I watched grow up, his character and character are top-notch, can he still support others if he doesn't support him?"
"Thanks to Uncle Zhao's cultivation, if he is fortunate enough to get what he wants, he will not forget Uncle Zhao's kindness."
"Let's not talk about these first, Uncle Zhao asked you, apart from Ye Houye's side, do you have any other preparations?"
Xiao Liran's face was embarrassed when he heard this: "Li Ran's identity is secret, and he doesn't dare to rashly entrap other courtiers before he is sure....."
Zhao Moqun frowned: "It's not appropriate for you to do this, firstly, to delay time, and secondly, you should not bet your weight on Ye Houye's alone....... In this way, I will contact a banquet bureau these days, you and your father will come together, get closer to those courtiers, and move around more in the future, their heirs are piled up, and those sons and daughters are often in contact, and they will always find a breakthrough or two. ”
Xiao Liran's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly responded: "In this way, Uncle Lao Zhao will have to worry about it." ”
