Just when Meng Lang and Gu Zhan were looking forward to Meng Xia learning what kind of red bean cake to make in person, Meng Xia had already talked with Mrs. Tang alone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tang Guiyi's mother, Mrs. Tang, whose real name is Tang Min, was once the first talented woman in Hanzhong, and Hanzhong was the hometown of Ji Guo at the beginning!

Back then, Meng Xia once suspected that the Tang family seemed to be related to the Ji family's secret guards, but there were always very obvious mistakes in it, and it was really impossible to connect the Tang family with the Ji family's secret guards and the like.

It wasn't until later that he overheard about some of Tang Guiyi's mother's circumstances that Meng Xia rediscovered some other problems.

It took more than a year of investigation before and after she officially confirmed that Tang Min's maiden family, the Tang family, was one of the secret guard families of the royal family of Ji Kingdom.

Half a year ago, Meng Xia had already met Tang Min alone, and at first she didn't have much hope for that meeting, after all, after so many years, it was a question whether the Tang family still inherited or mentioned their responsibilities and glory.

Not every Secret Guard or Secret Guard family is the same as He Miao's family, and Meng Xia has always thought that no matter what choice these people make, they are worthy of respect.

But what Meng Xia didn't expect was that Tang Min calmly admitted his identity at the first moment he saw her alone, and showed that his father married her into the Tang family in the capital, and also considered their family's mission.

However, unlike the He Miao family, Tang Min's father gave instructions to wait in secret! That's all!

In other words, they are waiting for the initiative of the descendants of the Ji family.

The Tang family is limited to twenty years, and if the descendants of the Ji family take the initiative to find them within twenty years, then the Tang family is still the most loyal secret guard of the Ji family, if not, then everything will conform to the will of heaven.

Although Meng Xia's appearance was a little late, it was still within the twenty-year period, so Tang Min did not hesitate to join Meng Xia on behalf of the entire Tang clan and serve Meng Xia as the young master.

From that time on, Meng Xia had another force in his hands that could not be underestimated.

Although the Tang family didn't know about these secrets of the Tang family, Tang Min still had an influence on some of the main people of the Tang family more or less secretly, which is why Tang Taifu's attitude towards Meng Xia seemed to be strict but he was kind enough to remind him from the bottom of his heart.

"Princess, there is a reply from Hanzhong, my father has arranged everything according to your requirements, and you can cooperate with the princess at any time!"

Tang Min is no longer just a housewife at this time, in front of Meng Xia, she will be more respectful and surrendering.

The Tang family has been living in Hanzhong for decades, and has already planted their roots in all walks of life in Hanzhong bit by bit, and the nets are densely laid out large and small, in order to one day be able to suppress the throat and lifeblood of the entire Hanzhong in the first time, and control the entire overall situation in one fell swoop.

The efforts of the Tang family were not in vain, and even the defenders of Hanzhong were unknowingly infiltrated by them, not to mention others.

"Very good, tell your father for me, and then everything can be done according to the plan, and until the last moment, you must not act rashly, so as not to expose clues and cause suspicion on the side of the capital."

Meng Xia's face was calm, and he commanded in a low voice: "In addition, after the beginning of spring this year, guide as many people in Hanzhong as possible to plant grain and cotton, and protect and reward farming." In the past few years, Hanzhong has relied excessively on other counties for planting, emphasizing commerce over farming, and if there is a real war in the future, this will become our biggest fatal point. ”

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Tang Min nodded his head to show that he understood, and at the same time admired the idea and foresight of the ninth princess.

The terrain of Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and as long as there is enough supply of war readiness materials to really fight, everything is not a problem.

"Finally, there is another point, we must find a way to make the officials in Hanzhong treat the local people well, reduce the local taxes as much as possible, and the people will live and live in a stable manner. A place that doesn't even want to stay, how can you expect the people to support and support it? ”

Meng Xia made the last request, as long as the above points can be achieved, there will be no problem in the implementation of Hanzhong's plan.

Tianshi, Tianli still won people, and Ji Guo of that year was nothing more than losing at the last point.

When Tang Min heard this, he seemed to feel something, the lesson of the death of the country seemed to be close at hand, it was rare for the ninth princess to be so smart and wise, it seemed that his father's persistence for so many years was not in vain.

"Princess, please rest assured, we will definitely do these things!" She made a solemn promise.

Meng Xia gave her different amazements again and again, and she finally understood why her father was so loyal to the Ji royal family, but he repeatedly chose to wait with the flow rather than actively pursue.

Perhaps, in my father's heart, only the descendants of the Ji family who are really capable of carrying this big burden have the qualifications to become the young master!

Otherwise, the burden is too big and will crush the descendants of the Ji family, if that is the case, it is better to go with the wind.

Therefore, when my father learned that the Ninth Princess really found them with her own skills and proved her good with her own methods, my father was very excited and extremely decisive to recognize the young master, and did not hesitate to obey all the instructions and dispatches of the young master.

No matter what kind of big chess the young master wants to play, no matter whether he can revive the Ji Kingdom in the future, in short, the Tang family will go all out and never give up!

"Okay." Meng Xia nodded and smiled, and in his smile was the trust in Tang Min and the entire Tang family from the bottom of his heart: "Tang Min, you have done a good job, apart from those things just now, does your father have any other words to bring me?" ”

"Princess ......"

Hearing the inquiry, Tang Min's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to be a little hesitant.

"It's okay, if you have anything to say, you don't need to be taboo."

Seeing this, Meng Xia expressed her encouragement, in fact, she had already sensed that Tang Min should have something to say before.

"Princess, that's the case," Tang Min didn't hesitate any longer, and said at the moment: "Father asked me to ask the princess, after the success of the incident in the future, do you plan to manage the government yourself, or are you going to entrust it to others?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Xia couldn't help frowning slightly.

"So, what does your father mean?" After being silent for a moment, she looked at Tang Min and asked rhetorically without hurrying.

"Don't get me wrong, princess, my father has no two hearts, of course he hopes that you can ascend the throne in person, princess, after all, you are the only descendant of the Ji royal family!"

Tang Min immediately explained: "Actually, my father is afraid that you will be used by others, and he knows that your plan will definitely end up borrowing from outsiders. Father wants me to tell you that he hopes to have the opportunity to witness the birth of the Empress in this life! ”

In the last few words, Tang Min said it extremely powerfully, and his face also showed a different kind of pride.

The Tang family has always been open-minded and known for its tolerance, so there are not a few daughters of the Tang family who are talented and capable.

It is not surprising that Tang Min's father has such thoughts, in addition to the understanding of his heart, the most important thing is the reality that the current Ji clan royal family only has the only bloodline of Meng Xia left!

Therefore, what Father Tang is really worried about is that in the future, Meng Xia may transfer the power or pass it to her future doctor, or be coveted by someone with a heart from the beginning, and finally fulfill others.

Of course, the Tang family didn't know who Xu Ren was going to join forces with Hanzhong in the future, so their suspicion and worry were not specifically targeted, but the most real thoughts in their hearts.

In fact, Meng Xia also knew that this scruple of the Tang family was extremely normal, and it could even be said that it was really good for her. It's just that others don't know that she is no different from the Three Emperor Brothers.

"I already understand what your father means, don't worry, I'm not so easy to be taken advantage of."

Meng Xia smiled slightly, but didn't explain much, just said, "Tell your father for me, please don't worry about that." ”

There are some words, there is no need to say too clearly, Meng Xia has her own arrangements and plans, she understands what is best. But it's still far from that time, so there's no need to say more.

When Tang Min saw Meng Xia say this, he decided that this was the answer his father wanted, so naturally he didn't say anything more, nodded and smiled back, and gradually settled down in his heart.

After chatting in detail, the two saw that it was almost time for the matter, so they went to get the red bean cake that had been prepared again and went to the front hall.

Seeing Mrs. Tang and Meng Xia coming back together, the few people who were chatting in the hall quickly paused.

Gu Zhan was the first to get up and greet him, and directly took a piece of red bean cake from the plate of red bean cake that Meng Xia personally held and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, the red bean cakes made by the Ninth Princess are as delicious as those made by Aunt Tang!"

He said vaguely, and at the same time, King Ding and Tang Guiyi, who were on the side, also tasted it, and took a piece again and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Meng Xia couldn't help laughing, and at the same time asked Gu Zhan, "Is it really that delicious?" ”

"Of course! I never tell lies, and I don't flatter just because you're a princess! Gu Zhan nodded his head, his face full of sincerity and happiness.

It was the first time that he could eat the pastries made by the Ninth Princess, and he felt more delicious and happy than anything he ate!

"Since you think it's so delicious and you love it so much, then I'll give you the whole plate and don't give it to them!"

Meng Xia said as he stuffed all the plates in his hand to Gu Zhan, and smiled and let him finish it alone.

That dish is not too much, and it is not too little, for Gu Zhan, who doesn't like sweets, it is really difficult.

"Ah, give it all to me! That...... Wouldn't the prince and Guiyi have nothing to eat? ”

Gu Zhan is extremely sincere, and he is not worried about whether he likes to eat or not, but if he eats it all, others will not be able to taste the craftsmanship of the Ninth Princess.

Just now, the prince also said that he had never eaten the red bean cake made by the ninth princess, if he really did this, wouldn't it be too much?

"It's okay, I'll do it next time, this time I'll let you eat enough."

Meng Xia said and spoke, but after all, he couldn't help but laugh.

Mrs. Tang on the side also laughed when she saw this, Gu Zhan's child was really as tight as when he was a child.

"Ninth Princess, Aunt Tang, what are you laughing at?"

Gu Zhan was a little inexplicable, and he didn't know what to do with the plate of red bean cake for a while.

"Okay, Axia, don't tease him, if you eat such a big plate, he won't have to eat tomorrow."

Meng Lang said to Meng Xia with a smile: "It seems that I want to eat the red bean cake you made by yourself, and the third brother has to wait for the next time." ”

Seeing that it was debunked by the Third Emperor Brothers, Meng Xia smiled again and took back the plate of red bean cake in Gu Zhan's hand and put it on the table next to him: "Okay, for the sake of the Third Emperor Brothers, I won't tease you." These pastries were still made by Mrs. Tang, and I really couldn't get the one I made before, so I gave up. ”

"Ah, it turns out that Aunt Tang made it, so I said that the taste is almost the same!"

Gu Zhan was not disappointed, let alone displeased, but said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't learn this time, next time you come to learn again, it will definitely be!" ”

"Ah Zhan, if it's delicious, you can eat more, these are not enough, there are still there!"

Tang Guiyi also made fun of Gu Zhan with him, this guy even comforted the Ninth Princess, and sure enough, it was ******** who pounced on the Ninth Princess.

"Ah, don't eat it, don't eat it, eat it next time, eat it next time!" Hearing Tang Guiyi's words, Gu Zhan waved his hand again and again to express his objection, and the whole person quickly moved away.

For a while, everyone couldn't help but laugh again when they saw him like this.

After leaving the Tang Mansion, he walked around the capital many times, until the palace gate was about to be closed and locked, and Meng Xia returned to Heling Palace with Caiyi and He Miao.

asked people to go to Mu Qinggong to reply to the words, so as not to worry about Concubine Ning, and then Meng Xia washed up, went to bed and grabbed a book to read.

"Ninth Princess, in the afternoon, someone from the East Palace sent an invitation, tomorrow the crown princess will hold a banquet in the East Palace, please be sure to go over and have a good time."

Caiyi's efficiency in handling things is really high, and it didn't take long for him to smooth out the matter of today's absence and Ling Palace, and picked out the most important information to Meng Xia.

"The banquet in the East Palace is naturally going to go, but this year, the princess is a little late for this banquet, tomorrow is already the seventh day of the new year, and she usually has a big banquet in the capital before the fifth day of the new year at the latest."

Meng Xia took his eyes off the book and said to Caiyi: "You prepare the gifts for me tomorrow, and then let He Miao go to the East Palace with me." In addition, tell Xiao Qiuzi that the Rouhui Palace can officially act tonight. ”

"Yes!"

Caiyi's face was suddenly solemn, and he quickly took the order and retreated first.

"Ninth Princess, a lot of strange things have happened in Concubine Liu's palace in the past few days, could it be that they were all arranged by Xiao Qiuzi?"

After Caiyi left, He Miao approached and asked Meng Xia in a low voice, full of excitement.

"Oh, is there one? What's going on? Meng Xia raised his eyes and swept the seedlings, unable to see his true emotions.

Seeing this, He Miao reacted quickly, and immediately asked for sin: "Ninth princess forgive me, I won't talk nonsense anymore." ”

"Tomorrow's banquet in the East Palace, you will naturally have interesting things, wonders, and pleasures that you want to hear, so save your curiosity for tomorrow!"

The corners of Meng Xia's mouth lifted slightly, and he refocused his gaze on the book in his hand and did not speak again. (To be continued.) )
