Chapter 45: Long-term vision

Qin Wan has been the pearl of her parents since she was born, and after her younger brother died, Qin Ke and Shen Man looked at her even more than the beads of their eyes, and they were reluctant to say a word, let alone say anything disgusting that she was not a man. As for the characters she usually sees, Pei Xi admires Qin Wan very much, and she doesn't mind any boys and daughters at all; Zhao Su felt that Qin Wan's knowledge was far better than his own, and he was organized and reasonable, and he completely regarded her as an adult; Cheng Fang and Qiyue still regard themselves as servants of the Shen family, even if they regret Qin Wan's gender very much, they will not show it. Qin Wan is used to seeing his mother in charge and his father not caring about everything, so he doesn't have any concept of male dominance and female dominance at all, and he doesn't think that he is worse than men.

Her brother passed away, and she was also very sad, but this grief simply came from the loss of her relatives, not because of the prince's inheritance and support. Shen Huai measured her by the standards of the noble family, and she noticed it, which would naturally make her unhappy.

If you talk about this whole world, who knows Qin Wan best, it is undoubtedly Pei Xi.

Shen Huai's thoughts were just fleeting, and he didn't show too much at all, but he couldn't stand Qin Wan and Pei Xi from observing him and Jiang Luo. Therefore, Pei Xi smiled lightly, looked at Jiang Luo calmly, and naturally asked, "Has the county government raided it?" ”

One is a prisoner with an uncertain future, and the other is a hot emperor's henchman, but Pei Xi's attitude seems to be equal between the two sides.

Jiang frowned slightly imperceptibly, and finally understood why nine out of ten people who knew Pei Xi didn't like this guy.

If there is no Luoyang Pei family, if there is no emperor's eldest son...... Jiang slightly suppressed the thoughts in his heart and said calmly: "No." ”

"If you pick it up, look for my long-term follower, surnamed Pei Mingxian." Pei Xi said lazily, "The gold, silver, pearls and jade are divided into five parts, Friday, Zhao Su and others take one copy, the soldiers borrowed from Zhichong Mansion take one copy, and the remaining three parts are for you to buy wine." The concubines, singers, and maids in my house, and the soldiers in the Zhichong Mansion are one each, and the rest ......."

Thinking of the precious calligraphy, paintings, and antique toys that Pei Xi collected, Qin Ke hurriedly said: "Naturally, it is properly collected." "It would be a pity if these treasures were damaged by guards who could not read a single word.

Although the sage didn't say that he wanted to pick up Pei Xi's house, but everyone was taken away, isn't it normal to divide up the property? But when Pei Xi said this, they didn't have a good time.

The Luoyang Pei family has always won the trust of the Great Xia Emperor, and there are countless good things in his hands, maybe which one is the imperial gift. All the people's belongings have been taken out, and then risking losing their heads to collect money, it is inevitable that the gains outweigh the losses, after all, there are still the eldest son of the emperor and the Pei family standing behind Pei Xi.

Shen Man liked Pei Xi a lot, and he was quite worried when he saw him fall into the mud from the clouds. But she is a daughter-in-law who married in, and she does not have a natural blood advantage over her husband and daughter, and her nephew is here, so as not to make Qin Ke feel that she is pointing fingers, she did not intervene before. Now seeing that Pei Xi not only distributed money, but even divided the concubines, he was concerned: "If there are one or two hearts, let them live here temporarily!" When the dust settles, it's not too late to come back and pick them up. ”

Since he knew that Pei Xi's wife Luo was greedy for wealth and refused to share weal and woe with her husband, Shen Man felt very sorry for Pei Xi. In her opinion, although the concubines are annoying, Pei Xi's wife is not very likable, if Pei Xi feels warm-hearted, it doesn't hurt to leave one or two concubines to serve. You can't let Pei Xi live with his utilitarian wife all the time, if his life is good, his husband will be good for everything, and if his life is bad, he will beat the chicken and scold the dog, pointing to Sang and scolding Huai, right?

Hearing Shen Man say such words of concern similar to that of a loving mother, Jiang Luo and Shen Huai finally had an accurate understanding of Pei Xi's status in the emperor's eldest son's family, and couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't expect such a disliked character to actually cast the eyes of the emperor's eldest son's family. But Pei Xi "doesn't know what to do", as soon as Shen Man's words fell, he shook his head and said indifferently: "It's just slaves and maids bought with money, and it is right to serve them well, let them call slaves and maids, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, how can it be justified to be half a master?" The soldiers are tired and have some beauties to serve, which is justified. ”

He said cold and ruthless words with an understatement attitude, which should have made people feel ruthless and cold, but it just scratched Shen Man's itch, and it also spoke to Qin Ke's heart.

Qin Wan looked at Pei Xi and clenched his hands hard.

You see, even though I am a prisoner, I am still the master of many people, manipulating their life and death and fate, and you must also show your momentum. You know, there must be a lot of people in Chang'an who are not long-sighted, who will bully you because you grew up in exile, have no relatives and brothers, and don't understand the etiquette of life, so what? You are the granddaughter of an upright saint, who is qualified to make you bow your head except to bow down to the saint?

In this life, what people pursue is nothing more than "fame" and "profit". If you want to take it, you must give it first, just like now, Pei Xi preemptively gave gold, silver and jewelry, and bewitching beauties, so that he could stand on the highest ground, win people's hearts, and seek benefits for himself.

To do this, it is difficult to say, and easy to say. In the final analysis, one must be willing to give, and the other must be to do what he likes. In the eyes of martial artists and rough people, the priceless antique calligraphy and paintings are not as good as the bright gold and silver jewelry, and even less as the warm fragrant nephrite in the arms. In Jiang Luo's eyes, good things are important, but they can't be taken at the risk of offending the emperor's eldest son and the Pei family of Luoyang. Therefore, Pei Xi is in prison, but he can still manipulate the situation, which really makes Qin Wan admire him tightly. I saw her follow Pei Xi's train of thought and prompts, and said to Jiang Luo: "The sage governs martial arts, Ze is the world, I hate not to be in Chang'an, I have no chance to listen to the holy teachings, and I will return to Beijing this time......" She lowered her head and said with some embarrassment, "It is not enough to describe our current mood like an arrow, and I hope that General Jiang will help you one or two, and go all out on the road, even if there is a stop, there will be no outsiders." For the safety meter, it is also not possible to carry anything. ”

Pei Xi looked at Qin Wan with a hint of approval in his eyes.

As soon as the crown prince died, the sage recalled his eldest son with great fanfare, and I don't know how many people regarded Qin Ke as the next prince. It is conceivable that along the way, there must be countless people who will try their best to stick to it, cling to it, and plan to show their faces in front of the future emperor.

Qin Ke is a character who doesn't know how to refuse, if an official visits him and does what he likes, there will always be one or two out of ten who can enter the door. Even so, it's a bit too ostentatious.

Don't say that the situation is unclear, even if the situation is clear, Qin Ke really became the prince, so what? When they were cold, these people avoided them, and they didn't have the slightest heart to take care of them, why did Qin Ke have to respond if they posted it now?

Jiang Luo already had a headache about this matter, but seeing that Qin Wan took the initiative to mention it, Qin Ke couldn't help nodding again, and he was relieved in his heart.

For such a big matter, Qin Ke and Shen Man let their daughter take the idea, and Shen Huai naturally understood how to get along with his "cousin". It's a pity that there is such a ghost as Pei Xi, who is not a brother and is better than a brother, Qin Wan is really not very affectionate to Shen Huai, but because of his parents, he plans to listen to the situation in Chang'an, so he reluctantly accompanies him.

Pick-up, distribution, and gifting...... This qiē takes time.

Knowing that they were going to talk about themselves, Jiang Luo retreated very sensibly, urging his subordinates to do those trivial things, and striving for the emperor's eldest son's family to have dinner in a warm and comfortable cabin.

After the idle people retreated, Shen Man took Shen Huai's hand and carefully looked at his nephew, who was six or seven years younger than him, and wanted to ask if the county mansion was good, but when the words came to his lips, he changed it to: "What happened in Beijing?" ”

Shen Huai's face was solemn, he lowered his voice, and whispered: "The prince rebelled and committed suicide in defeat." ”

Qin Ke was taken aback, but Shen Man had a feeling of "it was really so", and only listened to Shen Huai whisper: "After the prince rebelled, Lord Chen Liujun went to the palace, and the next day the sage summoned his nephew, and after playing it right, the sage asked the nephew to go home and pack his bags, and set off on the second day. That night, a letter was delivered from the lord of Chen Liu, telling his nephew to close the door, and if the princess's concubine's family came to the door, he would never accept anything valuable, let alone promise anything. ”

It stands to reason that the prince committed suicide by rebellion, the princess was frightened, and it was normal to find someone to intercede, why did Shen Huai's expression ...... Not quite right?

Qin Wan was puzzled in his heart, and before he could ask, he heard Shen Huai show a little shocked, and said cautiously: "Now, the news in Beijing is that the prince caught a cold on the night of Shangyuan and unfortunately went. The crown princess and the prince had a deep love affair and followed them. The concubines and slaves of the East Palace, whether they are faithful to their masters, or serve unfavorably, are all ......"

Thinking of what Pei Xi said, Qin Wanqi said: "Could it be that the crown princess has done something to the prince's heir?" ”

When she said this, Qin Ke and Shen Man couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the two couples looked at each other, they didn't expect that Queen Mu's daughter-in-law, who had been chosen by thousands of people, would be so short-sighted - as the wife of the crown prince, how could the princess suppress the concubine like an ordinary lady and prevent the birth of a concubine? Doesn't she know that as long as there are children in the East Palace, whether male or female, they can further stabilize the status of the crown prince? The crown prince is not a saint yet, so what is the eldest son to consider, doesn't she think that she thinks too far?

If a saint wants his son-in-law to succeed to the throne, he is like a prince, as the youngest son, his status is also certain; If the saint does not want his son-in-law to succeed him, even if he is the eldest son, he may not be able to get his wish. The crown princess's vision and heart are really ......

"The prince loves to indulge in the concubine room, and Liangdi, Liangyuan and low-level concubines squeeze the princess very much. Except for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is difficult for the crown princess to see the face of the prince, so ...... "No one thought that the crown princess could have this means, everyone thought that the prince could not give birth, including the prince himself."

The reason why the prince rebelled was that although his infertility was not the main reason, it was definitely an important reason. One can imagine how angry the saint would have been when he learned about this. It is not so much that the crown princess and the prince are "husband and wife", it is better to say that the crown princess ...... Forced to be buried.

As for the concubines in the East Palace, they may not have anything to do with this matter, but who let them squeeze the crown princess, and the uneasy crown princess was ruthless? I don't have enough confidence, but I do what I shouldn't do, and it's not strange to lose my life.
