"If there is anything special, it stands to reason that the emperor is far away, and the concubine of the Ming side is the daughter of the local wealthy family, if it is not for the fact that King Xian sincerely asks to marry, how can people marry a good daughter to King Xian as a side concubine, and whoever marries is also an upright wife! Although the royal side concubine is also a concubine, in the eyes of those real families, the side concubine is, to put it bluntly, actually a concubine. ”

Lan Qiduo's heart moved, and asked, "This concubine is the concubine of the family, right?" ”

Commander Ma was surprised: "Your Highness's guess is not bad, the Ming family's descendants have no school-age children, the daughter of the Ming family's main lady married early, and the Ming concubine was born to a concubine, and then it was recorded in the name of Mrs. Ming, which can be regarded as a concubine." ”

"It's that this Concubine Ming hasn't been so favored since she entered the Xianwang Mansion, cough cough," it seems a little difficult to speak, he is a big man after all, and Her Royal Highness the princess is Yun Ying's unmarried girl's family.

"I've been watched by you since I was a child, and Uncle Ma must know the priorities of these things, what else can't you say?"

Lan Qiduo smiled softly, and the horse commander felt a pang in his heart.

"King Xian goes to the princess's room the most every month, and this Ming concubine only has a few days a month!"

Lan Qiduo frowned: "First tell me everything you know." ”

Lan Qiduo began to rub the piece of ebony on her waist, this was because a few days ago, Mama Yun saw that she was restless and couldn't sleep well at night, so she was frightened and found the ebony brand sent by Xiahou Yi, for fear that she would be as unstable as she was when she was a child, Lan Qiduo didn't say much, and didn't mind that it was sent by Xiahou Yi back then, and now playing with it has become a habit when thinking.

"Since you really want to marry, and you marry back and put people aside, what Xiao Mubai said, is it true that the father and brother of the concubine of King Xian's honor guard are fake?" Such an idea was born in Lanzido's mind.

"The focus of the investigation is the Ming family."

Lan Qiduo knew that men generally ignore the small role of a woman's family, but Lan Qiduo believed that this Ming concubine must play a very important role in it.

"There are a total of thirty-two prefectures in Daqi. Each prefecture has a prefect, a tongzhi, these civil officials, and military attaches such as the admiral, all of whom are directly dispatched by His Majesty, but since the fourteenth year of Kangtai, when His Majesty crowned the princes, the life of these local officials has not been easy. On the one hand, they have to deal with the local wealthy families, and on the other hand, there are also the sons of His Majesty, who were originally stiff in their waists, but now they are equivalent to a layer of sadness, some adults joked. It's like the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law lived together, and their daughters-in-law lived their own small lives, but the sunny day was a bolt, and the mother-in-law assigned the mother-in-law to live with her. ”

Lan Qiduo hooked the corners of her mouth, this mother-in-law naturally refers to her royal brothers, who else is the mother-in-law besides her father?

Commander Ma said these words very tactfully, and Lan Qiduo also understood what he meant, the county officials might as well be in charge now. The princes were all the sons of His Majesty, and His Majesty had divided his sons into fiefs, and the paddock did not intend to supervise them.

"Let's not talk about the princes, even those powerful families who have been operating in the local area for several generations are a problem, and the Ming family is the most prominent of them."

"The Huguang area has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times, the traffic fortress, and there are a total of six provincial capitals on the fief divided by His Majesty Xià for the Xian King, and the Ming family has fields in almost every provincial capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the largest landlord in the Huguang area!"

Lan Qiduo sneered in his heart, no wonder Xiao Mubai said that King Xian finally occupied almost a quarter of the territory of Daqi. Now that his father alone had assigned him a sixth of his fiefdom, it was not impossible that he would be painstakingly managing a quarter of it over time.

"In addition to the fact that their Ming family has the most land, the Ming family is involved in all kinds of transportation, business travel, and the Ming family who can make money. The local people have widely spread a sentence is "open fire is like water, but the road splashes water and waves", the Ming character is the meaning of the Ming family, this sentence is to show that the home is brilliant day and night, with oil and water the same, others smack their tongues and feel luxurious. The Ming family boasted that the oil was like the sea water of the lake, one wave went down, and another wave came up. ”

"The Third Emperor Brother is really amazing! If you really want to marry, you are the most powerful family in the area! ”

When he said this, Commander Ma didn't dare to answer casually.

Lan Qiduo also knew that she was a little speechless, but at this time, no one was as clear as she was in her heart, and most of what Xiao Mubai said might be true!

King Xian has always been of good character, not to mention that his father would take such an important place as Huguang as his fief if he did not defend him, and then listen to his title, King Xian, King Xian, such a title was originally prepared for the auxiliary prince, if it weren't for Xiao Mubai's desire to prove that what he said was true, speaking of the brave and abnormal father and brother of the Ming side concubine, Lan Qiduo would never believe that this was true!

These things investigated by Commander Ma are extremely precious, and Huguang and Guangzhou are far away from the capital, if it weren't for the accidental discovery, who would have the heart to pay attention to a small side concubine in the backyard of the prince? Lan Qiduo also knew that Commander Ma was the crown prince's brother at all, but she never minded.

"Is there anything special about Concubine Ming's father and brother?"

Commander Ma has kept it secret in all directions since Lan Qiduo handed him to do this matter, and strives to find out that the things are true and reliable, and the more he investigates, the more frightened he becomes, at first Her Royal Highness the princess asked him to go thousands of miles to investigate a woman's house, or a small side concubine, although he said strange in his heart, but he didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't until he found out that the Ming family paid attention to it!

He replied crisply: "Except for the three concubines of the Ming family, who are concubines, the other two sons and one daughter are all born of the lady of the main room. ”

Lan Qiduo was playful in his heart, this Mrs. Ming is not a fuel-efficient lamp, just look at the backyard, there is no concubine!

"The head of the Ming family is the father of the current Ming side concubine, and the ancestors of the Ming family pay attention to farming and reading heirlooms, and never go out, so there is no Ming family in the court, they can be said to be only local heroes, and they are actually nothing in this capital. The two young masters of the Ming family have already married now, and according to the investigation of their subordinates, they now control most of the lifeblood of the Ming family's business. ”

Lan Qiduo thought of what Xiao Mubai said about the father and son of the Ming family taking the lead, "The more unremarkable people are, the more they can make a splash in the end, what does King Xian want is this?" It's not noticeable. Lan Qiduo also intended to think in his heart, there were some things that the prince would say more effectively than he said. (To be continued.) )
