Cui Shangzhou followed Mu Xuan's wishes, sent Lu Qiao to a house where his mother was married back then, and sent a maid and a mother-in-law to serve. In addition, he also sent two good boys to help guard it.

After settling down Lu Qiao, he followed Mu Xuan's assignment to investigate Lu Tan's death. For this reason, I went to Nanyang again and found Mama Lei's words to confront Luqiao.

With Cui Shangzhou's help outside, Mu Xuan can save a lot of worry, no matter what, he at least has Cui Shangzhou, the most trusted best friend, by his side.

said that Mu Ying returned to the palace and returned to King Yu's words.

Mu Xuan didn't return home, so it was an accident that he didn't zhuzHudAO.Com novels "Pig", "Pig" and "Island", although it was not good to get angry in front of Concubine Yan, but he also scolded a few words with a blue face: "Forget your ancestors!" ”

Seeing that her son was angry, Concubine Yan couldn't help but say something else, and asked with a smile: "Your eldest brother is alone, he can bear it!" ”

Mu Ying said: "What is lonely, I heard that Cui Qiye often visits him, and today I still watched Cui Qiye go with a woman." ”

King Yu felt strange and asked more: "Doesn't he claim to be a monk, besides, how can there be a woman in the temple?" ”

"I don't know, the woman was wearing a very loose monk's robe, but she didn't look like a monk. She kept her head down and didn't know what she looked like, but she wasn't supposed to be a young woman. ”

Mu Jing laughed below: "Our eldest brother's taste is unique. ”

The princess glanced at Mu Jing, and Mu Jing obediently shut up, but the princess shook her head helplessly.

Concubine Yan asked: "Is the Cui family's Xiaoqi and Da Lang still as close as before?" ”

Mu Ying said: "Yes, the eldest brother is only Cui Qiye." ”

King Yu said: "Those two have played since childhood. It's not worth mentioning. ”

Concubine Yan shook her head and said, "I don't think it's better to let this Cui Xiaoqi come in one day and let him help persuade Da Lang, maybe he is willing to listen to a few words, maybe it will be more effective than what we said." ”

After hearing this, King Yu twisted his eyebrows and said: "If he is still worried about his family, he should come back without being persuaded by anyone." This stinky boy has a stubborn temper, like a stone in a pit. What has no father and no mother, he should not have been born in the first place. ”

In this family, the closest to Mu Xuan is Mu Ying, and he feels that the eldest brother is not as ruthless as the family said. Although sometimes it is a little colder. But it's not bad, if you get along with him for a long time, you will find that the eldest brother is actually a good person.

Mu Ying wanted to say a few good words about Mu Xuan in front of her father, and after thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Maybe it's because the eldest brother grew up in the temple." I came back by chance, but I didn't feel close. I certainly didn't have anything else in mind. ”

King Yu said angrily: "Do you blame me for sending him to Puci Temple in the first place?" If it weren't for Master Yuankong, I'm afraid he would have died early. ”

"Alright, don't talk about it. Da Lang, he will come back if he wants to come back. The princess will arrange the house, if you don't want to come back, don't be reluctant. By the way, a while ago, the county lord said to me, let me find a suitable woman for Da Lang, Da Lang is not young anymore, he is twenty-three this year, and he should have gotten married a long time ago. You parents have to think about it, too. ”

Concubine Yan pushed the matter onto King Yu and Princess Yu in a word.

The princess never said a few words to this stepson, and now she wants her to take care of his marriage, where is she willing.

Concubine Yan said again: "Since Da Lang wants to get married, I have to buy him some property." ”

The princess immediately said: "Didn't half of the first princess's dowry remain, just use that." ”

King Yu estimated that the marriage of the Chai family was quite rich, and there were thousands of acres of land in Zhuangzi all over the place, and the largest one in two Zhuangzi had been rebuilt into Qixia Villa. In addition, there are some shops, there are more than a dozen shops in Quanzhou, and there are more than a dozen shops in Yangzhou. Duan Hui divided half of it, and the remaining half of the housekeepers helped with the cooking.

Over the years, the income from the shop has also been managed by the princess.

"The princess take out all the account books on the shop, and let the shopkeeper go to the county lord to reconcile the accounts from now on!"

"What?!" The princess was shocked, why did she suddenly ask her to hand over the account books.

"Is there anything wrong?"

The princess's head shook like a rattle, and she hurriedly said, "No, no, no." I'll have someone tidy up and send it to the villa. ”

"The county lord is now returning, it is my intention, not to let her suffer that sin in the Ji family. She has an industry now, and she doesn't worry about food and clothing, so she can do whatever she likes. Don't interfere with her too much. ”

The princess didn't like this stepdaughter either, and she was always cold to Duanhui, so when she heard this, she said, "The prince commanded." ”

Concubine Yan sighed and said, "The family must always be harmonious. At the beginning, what the Chai family left was divided equally between their sister and brother, and there were not many that fell into the hands of Da Lang. The prince should consider it and see if he can buy it a little more. After all, we are also a clan, and Da Lang is the eldest son, and there are examples of marrying. ”

King Yu respectfully agreed.

Everyone sat down for a while, and the topic was almost all about the county lord's siblings. Later, when King Yu saw Concubine Yan's tired face, he got up and said that he was going to leave, and Concubine Yan cheered up and said, "You all disperse, the prince stays, and I have a few words to say to you." ”

The princess waited for this to get up and take her leave.

Most of the people in the room retreated, and only two close servants were still in front of them. Concubine Yan waved her hand, causing the rest of the people to retreat.

"The county lord's business, do you plan to let her live here for the rest of her life?"

King Yu didn't know why his mother suddenly said this, and he was a little puzzled: "What? Isn't it possible? ”

"She's only in her twenties, do you want to leave her alone for the rest of her life? When I'm old, I don't even have a send-off! ”

"Their Ji family is not something, and I also know what kind of life Yan'er is living there. Our daughter can't be bullied by others like this, isn't it damaging the royal face? ”

Concubine Yan shook her head and said, "You are too reckless in this matter, can you think about the future for her?" ”

King Yu said a little eagerly: "Why didn't I think about it? Aren't those people of the Ji family wolf ambitions just thinking about getting Yan'er's property in the future? ”

"There's nothing wrong with choosing an heir. At least there are people who are dead and worshipped. Besides, the right to choose an heir is in our hands, so why can't we choose a puppet? ”

King Yu felt that his mother's words were too naïve, and his daughter's life in the Ji family was a pool of stagnant water. He just couldn't see his daughter suffering, so he didn't hesitate to let his daughter return. Now that this is a foregone conclusion, there is no point in saying more.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with her being like this now."

"Okay, let's put aside the fait accompli for the time being, I think it's better to choose a family for her while she's still young, you see that the eldest princess Changning has also remarried, and the eldest princess Yongen has also remarried. The princess can remarry, and there is no reason for the county lord to stick to it. We don't have that kind of rules in the royal family. When you enter the palace in the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's better to mention this matter to the Queen Mother. As long as she opened her mouth, it would be easy to do. ”

Let your daughter remarry? It's not that he hasn't thought about this, it's better than living a lifeless life in the Ji family. King Yu also seriously considered this matter and said, "I will consider it." ”

Concubine Yan nodded with satisfaction. He also said: "Da Lang's family affairs are just afraid that you will have to spend more time." Let's let the Cui family Xiaoqi come in. I'll talk to him. Let him persuade him, maybe it will be more effective than us. ”

King Yu should be.

The events of that year made Concubine Yan difficult to sleep, and she always felt indebted to the two sisters and brothers. Now I hope to do something to make amends.

A day later, Cui Jie brought his nephew Cui Shangzhou into the palace. Cui Shangzhou saluted King Yu in a proper manner: "Please still ask Wang Ye'an!" ”

King Yu glanced at him, he had not seen this kid of the Cui family so old all these years, nodded and said, "You rarely come in." I heard that you followed the boss closely, what has he been busy with lately? ”

Cui Shangzhou naturally didn't dare to tell King Yu about Mu Xuan's request for him to inquire about the year, so he smiled for a moment and said: "Uncle Mu is still the same as before, either chanting scriptures and meditating or practicing martial arts to strengthen his body. It's okay. ”

King Yu asked again: "I heard that he often goes to the villa, how long does he stay each time?" ”

Cui Shangzhou didn't know much about this, so he smiled and said: "The prince asked this, and the little one can't answer it." ”

King Yu didn't ask any further, waved his hand and said, "Go, the concubine is waiting for you." ”

Cui Shangzhou was a little puzzled, it turned out that it was not the prince who let him enter the mansion but the concubine? Ten ** is still for Mu Xuan's business, Cui Shangzhou remembered Mu Xuan's advice before, and had to deal with it with twelve points of spirit.

Concubine Yan received Cui Shangzhou in the quiet and livable small flower hall. also deliberately reserved a place for him and let the maid hold the tea fruit.

"Your mother hasn't come in for a long time to say goodbye, how is she?"

Cui Shangzhou got up and replied: "Thank you for your concern, my mother is still healthy." ”

"Since she is in good shape, let her come in and talk to me. Your Cui family and our Mu family have been friends for generations. At the beginning, your grandmother often came in to talk to me, and after your grandmother left, your aunt, your aunt, and your mother also often came and went. It's a good thing that you're close to our family again. ”

First, the friendship made Cui Shangzhou a little confused.

Then Concubine Yan also inquired about Mu Xuan's recent movements like King Yu, but Concubine Yan asked much more carefully, including who else was serving around her? How are you doing in the temple? How's the food? Whether the clothes are enough to wear, etc.

No matter how big or small, Cui Sangju answered the part he knew.

After hearing this, Concubine Yan sighed and said: "Da Lang's health was not good when he was young, but it is pitiful, plus his mother left early, and there are few people around to take care of him. The prince has also invited many famous doctors, and even the imperial doctor in the palace has come to take a look, but he is always sick. Later, I met Master Yuankong and asked us to entrust Dalang to him. I didn't have much hope, but I didn't expect it to improve. My body is gradually getting better, and I am much stronger than before. Hey, it's also because he grew up in the temple since he was a child, so he can't help but be a little estranged from his family. Because his father is always unhappy, so I invite you here today to help persuade him to see if he can persuade him so that he can come home often. ”

What kind of person Mu Xuan is, maybe the entire palace can't find anyone more familiar than Cui Shangzhou.

He bowed his head and replied, "What the concubine ordered, the small one will try it." ”

Concubine Yan nodded with satisfaction: "He is a member of the royal family, and he is the eldest son of our branch, and we don't want him to embark on a road of no return in the future." I also hope that he can gradually return to the right path and live the life that a normal person should live. The house where the princess lived is still there, and I have people clean it from time to time, and he can live there if he wants, or he can live elsewhere if he wants. ”

He also said: "He is not young, and at the beginning of the year, the county lord told us that he should marry a daughter-in-law, and I have handed this matter over to the princess." Hopefully it will be decided this year. is also going to buy him some properties, and he will never be wronged. Tell him all of this. The people in his house are all worried about him, and no one forgets him. My grandmother is also old, and I just want to see my children and grandchildren and be harmonious. ”

Cui Shangzhou listened to Concubine Yan's words, and thought to himself, he was afraid that it would be useless for him to be a lobbyist, and Mu Xuan had already seen through it. Now the people here are forcing him to come back, and they say that they want to marry him, and they are really anxious about him, but they are afraid that the nine cows will not be able to pull him back by then.

Concubine Yan finally said with a smile: "Remember to let your mother come in and sit, I have something important to discuss." ”

Cui Shangzhou muttered in his heart, could it be that this concubine wants to be a matchmaker for him?

"Good boy, if you can persuade Da Lang to come back, I will thank you with the prince when the time comes."

Cui Shangzhou hurriedly said: "The little one doesn't dare." ”

Concubine Yan smiled: "What dare you dare, you really did a big thing for our family, and I will naturally thank you well." ”

After Cui Shangzhou left, Concubine Yan looked at the carved window for a long time, until the daughter-in-law who accompanied the room came in to say goodbye.

Concubine Yan glanced up and said to her, "Ming'er, you let your son come in, I have something to do with him." ”

The daughter-in-law said with a smile: "Okay, the slave will talk to him when she goes back." ”

Here, the princess took the task assigned by the concubine, and when she turned around, she said to the princess: "You go and draw up a list for me with several marriageable women who are close to each other." ”

The princess should be.

The princess remembered something, and suddenly asked: "I seem to have heard that the prince bought a house in the alley behind Lower East Street, do you know?" ”

The princess had never heard of it, so she hurriedly asked, "The daughter-in-law has heard it for the first time." ”

"When a daughter-in-law always cares about the people around her, she still has to ask what she should ask." The princess reprimanded her daughter-in-law, and said in her heart, it's bad, she shouldn't ask more. It turned out that the daughter-in-law didn't know. In addition to having a house, she also heard that her son had an outroom to keep there, and it would be good if her daughter-in-law knew about it. This family is afraid that it will set off another storm.

Sure enough, the princess already had doubts in her heart, she didn't show it in front of her mother-in-law, she forcibly suppressed her curiosity, and immediately asked someone to inquire when she turned around. (To be continued.) )
