Since the last time Xiang Hong happened, the King of Jin didn't talk to Zhuang Yan much, and the He family, Zhuang Lingzhao and other female relatives were not very enthusiastic about Zhuang Yan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The leaves shook, and the woman's cheerful voice came: "Yo, what is the big girl doing?" ”

Zhuang Yanfang put down the embroidery in his hand and handed it to Bai Qi, "It turned out to be Mama Guan, and she had nothing to do in the past few days, so she chose a few ways to practice her skills." ”

Guan Mama is not dragging mud and water, two or three sentences explain the intention, "The girl is really a quiet and good character, the old woman doesn't talk much, it's almost summer, the house has added new clothes and jewelry to the girls, the princess sees that you don't like to go out on weekdays, so she chooses for you, the girl first tries to fit or not, and then orders someone to change if it is not suitable for the old woman." ”

"Mother Zhao is polite, I don't like to wear gold and silver, the princess must choose the best, I just look at it, I'm lazy, I won't try this dress, my mother assists the princess to take care of the house, I won't delay my mother's time."

Zhao's mother praised Zhuang Yan in her heart for being a knowledgeable master, and ordered someone to send the clothes to the house, so she said goodbye.

After Zhuang Yan said goodbye to Zhao's mother with a smile, he continued to turn over the embroidery needle.

Bai Zhi pouted, "Doesn't the girl look at what the princess sent?" ”

Zhuang Yan had a cold face, "She can't wait for someone to take a fancy to my color these days, so that she can send me out, and what she sends is nothing more than some gaudy things." ”

When Bai Zhi heard this, she panicked and said, "That girl can't do what she wants, who knows what crooked melons and cracked dates she wants to make to stain the girl's eyes." ”

Bai Qian also had a hint of worry on her face, "The girl is still the daughter of the Jin Palace, the princess has made up her mind to take care of the girl's marriage, and the girl should prepare early." ”

Zhuang Yan still didn't move, just continued the work in his hands.

By the time the sun set, a few eighteen bachelors were already stretching in the corner of the room.

Zhuang Yan stretched his waist and suddenly said, "Only by getting married can I get out of my current situation." "No matter how unwilling, whether it is marrying a mediocre person or a gentleman.

As long as she gets married, she will have a way to reconcile and divorce, and then she will be able to live openly in the world in the name of the daughter of King Jin! Instead of hiding, as has been the case for more than a decade in the past.

Bai Zhi bowed her head slightly, she didn't know that this was the only way to solve the current predicament, as long as she got married, the girl would be able to find a foothold in her in-law's family, so that she could be as free as in Guanzhong.

However, a rare woman like a girl in the world, where is an ordinary man worthy of it.

Zhuang Yan saw Bai Zhi bowing his head and pondering, as if he was extremely sorry, so he smiled and said, "If it is really such a gentleman, it is a big deal to enter the door to mourn, presumably my mother-in-law's family will not treat me, and the princess will not think about it anymore." ”

Bai Qi clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, yes, that's exactly the reason." "A look of eagerness to try it yourself.

In Duanwang's Mansion, Zhuang Jingli leaned lightly on the back of the chair, her expression was calm and natural.

Sitting opposite sat a man in Xuanyi, his appearance was cold, full of alienation, looking at Duan Wang silently just rubbing the green jade in his hand, and said, "What do you think about Cao Yun?" ”

Duan Wang smiled, "Pin Yixiang has always been calm, why did he change the norm this time, could it be that Dingguo Gong really took a fancy to the power of Cao Yun in Lu Binshui Road?" ”

The man in Xuanyi was Du Heng, the prince of the Dingguo Mansion, and he couldn't help but have a hint of ridicule when he heard the words, "That idea is only in the eyes of nouveau riche like the Lu family." ”

King Duan sat up straight, looked at Du Heng with his cheeks propped up, knowing that he would have something to do.

"Gao Cong has always been steady, this time he will stand up to me really surprised, especially his proposal to transport grain in addition to the transport of grain, but also directly open to the cargo bank, by the cargo bank bidding, according to the bid to distribute the proportion of the transport vessels, and the tax is directly collected and managed by the household department, such an idea seems not to offend people, but it is to offend several nobles who hold the power of Cao Yun." Everyone knows that the saints today are so happy that they have been fighting for many years, and the treasury is empty, and if they follow this method, the treasury will be full in a few years. But no one has dared to propose reforms, just so as not to offend the powerful.

King Duan still just smiled and said, "If someone in the court can secretly manage the affairs and participate in the bidding, it will not be a good thing." ”

Du Heng hooked the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly, "The saint is suspicious, even the Wei family does not dare to collect money in private." Speaking of which, does Gao Cong have the intention of surrendering to you this time? ”

"I haven't dealt with this person."

Du Heng was even more puzzled, "Could it be that Gao Cong just wanted to pat the emperor's ass and came up with such an idea?" ”

Duan Wang said: "Xu yes, if Pinzhi is free, it is okay to do a few favors with him, Gao Cong is quite talented, and after ten years, he may not be able to enter the cabinet." ”

Du Heng was puzzled: "But this adult has always had a bad reputation, I heard that his family is poor, he is an iron rooster, and he doesn't go to private gatherings with his colleagues." ”

Of course, otherwise, how could Zhuang Yan take advantage of Gao Cong's family's urgent need for money, and he was ashamed to borrow money from his colleagues, so he took the opportunity to exchange conditions when he went to Tongbao to borrow money.

However, before the overall situation was decided, Duanwang did not plan to mention Zhuang Yan's matter to Du Heng.

just said hintly: "The shopkeeper of Tongbao Liu Yu is an interesting person, and this time it is his plan." ”

This means that Tongbao has already caught up with Duanwang, and Gao Cong has made a name for it.

Du Heng nodded, and threw an appreciative look at King Duan, which prince can empty the white wolf, to put it bluntly, it still depends on connections and people's hearts to win the heir; As for the matter of not being able to get the Sacred Heart, if the officials in the court are against it, then the prince who has the Sacred Heart will not get that position; To win people's hearts, just relying on what kind of moral ability, sometimes it is really not as fast as yellow and white things, so he said: "I can save it." By the way, what is the war in the Northwest? There has been no news from the front line for 10 days, and the people in our house have not heard the news. ”

Duanwang Zhengse said, "I also just got the news, Pei Ze attacked the enemy camp on the night of the 10th, but after breaking through the enemy's Chinese army camp, he was nowhere to be found, I heard that he personally led five hundred elite soldiers to the Ruru King's tent, but ......" Duanwang lowered his voice, "At this moment, the army is controlled by Wei Wuyi, and Pei Ze is also taking risks this time." ”

Wei Wuyi, the younger brother of Wei Guifei. The few gentlemen in Beijing not only have no ink on their chests, but they also only know what to do all day long.

Du Heng also sighed: "Brother Pei is brave and good at fighting, and this expedition is to avenge his father, so I think I have a back hand." But if they return to the court after victory, the saint will inevitably reward the Wei family and teach them to get a military merit for nothing. ”

Duan Wang said: "Although this is the case, there will be no good news in the next few days, and the Pei family is now in danger." ”

Speaking of this, Du Heng snorted lightly, "His stepmother still can't wait for Brother Pei to die early, I heard from my mother a few days ago that Mrs. Jingyuan Houtai is taking advantage of Brother Pei's absence in Beijing to show Brother Pei about the marriage." ”

"I forgot, Jing Yuanhou is still related to you."

Du Heng's cousin Du Xun is Pei Yujing, the eldest daughter of Jingyuan Hou.

King Duan knew that Du Heng didn't like his brother, so he didn't continue. I just suddenly remembered the letter sent by Zhuang Yan, and lightly mentioned that Bafang Warehouse has been rectifying the Cao Gang in its hands recently.

After Du Heng left, he called out the secret guard: "Mrs. Pei is showing General Pei about the marriage, I have a good candidate, you can find a way to hand the news to her." ”
