Zhou Baolu hesitated for a while, and quickly recovered her fighting spirit, Xiao Hongcheng was right, she was not a lonely battle, she still had the people she loved by her side.

Xiao Hongcheng needless to say, there is also her mother's family, grandmother, parents, brothers and sisters, she also has a strong backing Wu'an Hou Mansion, and Xiao Hongcheng can be crowned the prince, which is always ahead of others!

Zhou Baolu was really a heart-wrenching, so Xiao Hongcheng comforted him, turned around, counted his advantages with his fingers, and smiled again.

On the second day, Xiao Hongzhan's mother, Renping Hou's wife Zhang, took her daughter to hand over the sign to the palace early in the morning.

Zhang is a pretty woman, her sons are so old, she still looks quite pretty, and her daughter looks twelve or thirteen years old, quite quiet, she looks very much like Zhang, because she is young, like a flower and bone, she is really a beauty.

That Zhang's speech was very cut and neat, and the most amazing thing for Zhou Baolu was that she was particularly able to say it, and this Mrs. Renping Hou could say more than her.

Mrs. Zhang said with a look of shame: "Something like that happened yesterday, I didn't have the face to see my mother, but in the end it was my son, he did something wrong, he was beaten and scolded, and I, as a mother, still have to bear it for him, right?" Cheeky, I had to beg my mother to forgive him. ”

As he spoke, he pulled his daughter to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Baolu.

Zhou Baolu hurriedly asked someone to pull her mother and daughter up, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Ling Gongzi only offended my little aunt, and it has nothing to do with me, and yesterday Shen Da led the Holy Lord's edict and has already taught him, so I naturally have nothing to make up for here, Mrs. Hou said this, but people said that I was arrogant." ”

The Holy Lord's edict has been issued, Zhou Baolu will clean up Xiao Hongzhan to make up for it, naturally he can't run away from a transcendent reputation, Zhou Baolu looked at Zhang's family, is she afraid or is she digging a pit for her to jump?

When Zhang heard Zhou Baolu say this, he suddenly became excited, knowing that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly smiled: "It's not that Niangniang is looking for compensation, it's just that our family didn't teach her son well, offended Mrs. Zhuo, and made Niangniang displeased, and second, our family is outside all the year round, and it is rare to enter the imperial capital once, and kowtow to Niangniang to say goodbye, which is also our filial piety." ”

Zhang said the wrong thing, and he was anxious, so he made up vigorously: "Yesterday, I knew that I was in a hurry, and I personally went to Zhuo's mansion to make amends to Mrs. Zhuo, and I also knew that Mrs. Zhuo definitely didn't want to see my son, and I didn't take him there, I just told him to kneel at home, and wait for his father to come back and clean him up!" I took Fluttershy with me, oh yo, don't hide it from my mother, when I see Mrs. Zhuo, I don't even want to blame my son, I know my son's problem, I can't walk when I see a beauty, over the years, his father has been beating and scolding for three days, and he can't pull it back, Mrs. Zhuo's fairy-like appearance, not to mention my son, even if I see it, I love it in my heart. ”

Zhou Baolu's sharp-eyed little girl from Renpinghou's family quietly pulled her mother's clothes, and Zhang immediately said: "No matter how you say it, it was my son who offended Mrs. Zhuo, fortunately, Mrs. Zhuo is generous, willing to let people, saying that the saints have been punished, she naturally has nothing to say, and she can't afford to be polite, I was cheeky to go in and sit down, drank a cup of tea from Mrs. Zhuo, and invited Master Zhuo to see it, I didn't say anything!" This is called Tianxian matching, my son, ten tied together, can't compare to others......"

Zhou Baolu is gone, the little aunt is about to disappear, Zhou Baolu knows the temper of the little aunt best, it is useless to praise her, as long as she praises her for being a good man, she will be happy.

This Mrs. Zhang looked a little lacking in heart, and it was estimated that the previous action was not to dig a hole for herself, but at this time, the little girl pulled Zhang's clothes again.

It was like a switch, Zhang's previous words of Zhuo Yuanshan came to an abrupt end, and he restarted very bluntly: "Speaking of which, yesterday's incident, our Hou Ye went home and immediately tied up the kid who followed Zhan Zhan to interrogate it, it turned out to be a kid who took someone else's silver, and had the intention to lead us Zhan Zhan over, and kept up with Mrs. Zhuo's carriage and horse, so he deliberately led Zhan Zhan's horse to crash over, knowing that Zhan Zhan was going to be fooled...... There's no way, Mrs. Zhuo's appearance, my unpromising son can't escape...... Even I ......"

"What my mother means is that someone knows that my brother is naturally lustful, and deliberately leads him to hit Mrs. Zhuo's carriage and horse, as long as he sees Mrs. Zhuo's face, he will definitely collide with Mrs. Zhuo." The little girl couldn't hold back any longer, and finally interrupted her mother's words regardless of etiquette: "Probably someone has calculated Mrs. Zhuo's temper and set up this bureau, my brother just happened to be a gunman, not to do something with Mrs. Zhuo." ”

Zhang's embarrassed added: "I mean, it's not that Mrs. Zhuo is wrong, my son is excusable, I mean ......"

The little girl summed up crisply again: "What my mother means is that my brother is destined to not be able to hold it, but it is also wrong, no matter how beautiful Mrs. Zhuo is, my brother should not do anything else, so he deserves to be beaten when he goes home." ”

Zhang nodded awkwardly: "Yes, Niangniang, that's what the concubine meant, not to excuse my son." ”

Zhou Baolu couldn't help laughing, this Zhang clan is really born with no logic and no center in his speech, and every time he speaks, the focus is wrong! If you are a confused person, it must sound even more confused, this little girl is rare, so small, so organized, so neat, she followed into the palace, it is simply to control her mother.

Zhang turned his head to look at the little girl, and the little girl sighed like an adult, reminding her: "Daddy has judged the boy." ”

"Oh!" Zhang's suddenly realized, and picked up the words that he didn't know where he fell: "Yes, Master Hou interrogated the little guy who was hit by a thousand knives, that idiot, and thought that he was the master, and the idea led the master to bump into a big beauty, Zhan Zhan liked it, and he went back to reward him, and reward him!" Reward him with a whip ......"

"Mother!" The little girl was very helpless, Zhang touched her head, and turned back: "It was another kid who gave him the idea, that kid was hired after we arrived in the imperial capital, and the mother also knew that our family was here, and we also came to see the prosperity of the imperial capital, one or twenty masters, the slaves were not enough, so I had to find some now, but I did some rough work, just guard the door at the door, sweep the floor and watch the horses......"

"It's a kid from the family of Lord Deng, the waiter of the Ministry of Works." The little girl finally couldn't bear to say it herself, and Zhou Baolu felt as if the green tendons on her forehead were about to burst out: "Daddy tried him again, and he only said that he had seen Mrs. Zhuo before and knew that my brother would definitely like it, so he came up with this idea with my brother's personal servant, just to please the master." This kid is still locked up in our house, if Niangniang wants to be tried, we will send someone here immediately, if Niangniang doesn't want it, our family will kick him out. ”

Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "No need, since my father already has an edict on this matter, what else do I have to pursue, the servants hired by your family can be dealt with by themselves." ”

Zhang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said busily: "It's still the mother who is merciful and generous, my son really hurt my brain, his father beat him countless times, and I don't know how many whips have been broken, and I still can't change that temper, it really makes me feel distressed and hateful, it stands to reason that his father is such a square person, why didn't he learn a ......."

Zhou Baolu felt that she didn't need to pay attention to her, she could talk alone for a long time, so Zhou Baolu turned around to look at the little girl, asked her about her age ranking, what books she read, what she did on weekdays, and rewarded her with a red coral hairpin.

It turned out that this little girl was the only daughter of Renping Hou, nicknamed Fluttershy, the first five elder brothers, and she was only ten years old this year when the Zhang family was thirty-five.

Zhou Baolu thinks that this little girl is really not easy! Renpinghou's mother has passed away, and such a thing as entering the palace to ask for peace can only be participated in by female dependents, so this little girl has to chase after her mother's ass to clean up the mess for her mother.

Zhou Baolu likes this little girl, and specially left them for lunch. Zhang was also very embarrassed and said: "We haven't come to honor Niangniang yet, but we took Niangniang's things and disturbed Niangniang's meal, how embarrassing." ”

Zhou Baolu smiled, this Zhang's family, the scene is still in order, just leaving those few words, he completely changed his style, come to think of it, that scene has been practiced.

In fact, Zhang's gave a gift, and it was still a generous gift, but because it was said to make amends, Zhou Baolu confiscated it.

As for the situation mentioned by the Renping Hou family, Xiao Hongcheng's people had already investigated and understood, the little guy only got fifty taels of silver before he went to coax Xiao Hongzhan's personal servant, and as for the person who gave the silver, it was an aunt of the Renping Hou family.

Therefore, Zhou Baolu is particularly annoyed by this kind of stripping off the cocoon, everyone on a rope, everyone has their own little abacus, there are too many branches, and it is very easy to be led astray.

is just like such a small thing that brought Xiao Hongzhan to the destination, that little guy really wanted to please Xiao Hongzhan, so that he could gain a foothold in the Renping Marquis Mansion, and the aunt wanted Xiao Hongzhan to be cleaned up, and then went to the aunt's line, it was her maiden cousin in the imperial capital who got the benefit of people, and she also wanted to please the cousin of Aunt Hou and provide her with a way. Further up, there is the shopkeeper of the aunt's cousin in the shop, and his brother works as a housekeeper in the house of a five-rank official.

The long process involved a housekeeper, a silk shopkeeper, an aunt, and two servants, and it was only then that a five-grade official stood in the shadows, and it was determined that everyone needed to exclude other factors, such as the little guy who came out of Lord Deng's house, and he might bring this line to Lord Deng's side.

Just such a branch line, this kind of investigation and intelligence gathering, requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and requires the meticulous work of intelligence personnel to distinguish all kinds of misleading and coincidental factors, no wonder those people can't wait to get out of the little aunt, their intelligence shows that the little aunt has a lot of property and silver in her hands, and it is very likely that the prince and the party's small treasury.

If the small treasury is exposed, Xiao Hongcheng's financial resources will definitely be affected, and it may also cause the emperor's suspicion.

This is that the intelligence has been misled, and Zhou Baolu is precisely the misleading factor. It is because Chen Xiqing is her little aunt who has a good relationship, and she only gave her 50,000 cash three months ago, so it will be determined to be the 'treasury of the Tai and Zi Parties'.

Thinking of this, Zhou Baolu suddenly felt very interesting, although this time it was an inadvertent and coincidental misleading, but in the future, maybe you can do something intentional misleading!

Zhou Baolu pondered there endlessly, Xiao Hongcheng came back, walked in the door, and first picked up Zhou Baolu with a smile and turned around: "Hehe, we made a small fortune." ”

Zhou Baolu was already pondering the relationship between financial resources and intelligence, and had already begun to worry that Xiao Hongcheng's silver was not enough to spend, and when he heard his words, he was immediately overjoyed, hugged his neck and said, "How did you get rich?" ”

Look, the originally noble and noble daughter was forced to become a wealth fan by this prince.

It's really poignant, when she was a young lady in the past, Zhou Baolu simply regarded money as dung, whether it was jewelry, or cash gold, silver tickets and gold leaves, she was very scattered, and she never took it seriously.

I didn't even think about silver!

I didn't expect to be the crown princess, but I began to think about the silver.

However, Zhou Baolu didn't feel bitter herself, but waited for Xiao Hongcheng to say it with joy, Xiao Hongcheng didn't sell it, and said with a smile: "I knew about that incident yesterday, didn't I tell you to leave it alone?" ”

"Uh-huh." Zhou Baolu nodded hurriedly: "Do you know that Lord Shen is coming, so you told me not to come out?" ”

Xiao Hongcheng said with a smile: "It's not, we got the letter, discussed it once, and felt that the matter of horizontal and vertical has nothing to do with us, so what are we afraid of when we open it?" My father is rich all over the world, has internal money, and has a Baoyi ticket number, and he still has to hold on to this small treasury, how can he spend it? As sons, we still have to share our father's worries. ”

This thick-skinned man thinks about his father's silver, or shares his father's worries!

Zhou Baolu really thinks that her man is too talented!

Xiao Hongcheng continued: "Father's small treasury has been opened, so that we all know, and his old man is embarrassed to continue to hold on? There's always going to be a little leak between your fingers, right? ”

Zhou Baolu immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Oh, isn't it, you are so smart!" The father and the emperor showed this, how much to give to the sons, you are the eldest son, and the crown prince, and you have to raise a daughter-in-law, and you don't have a mother to make up for it, why do you have to take the big head! ”

"Haha!" Xiao Hongcheng said with a smile: "The third brother is old, he opened a government and built a mansion, and he has a daughter-in-law to raise, although he is not as good as me, he has to be more than the younger brothers, right?" ”

"It's strange that this matter has just started that day, and my father sent Lord Shen to pass on the word of mouth in a hurry, and I want to cover my feelings! Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy! Zhou Baolu drew inferences from one case and said regretfully: "My father intercepted the peace halfway." ”

Xiao Hongcheng smiled: "But no, I am unwilling to think about it, today my father left me for dinner, I tried it once, saying that yesterday was strange, my father should check it, and then said that I only knew that your grandfather, your mother, and your little aunt are very good at making money, and then I cried poor." ”

"Poof." Zhou Baolu laughed out loud.

Xiao Hongcheng pinched her round chin, and said with a straight face: "Don't laugh, I should have cried poor, in the case of our Dasheng Dynasty, the prince opened the government and built a mansion, and there were 200,000 cash silver, grange tenants, etc., but I was the crown prince, and if I didn't leave the palace, there would be nothing!" Tai, grandfather's prince is the later Emperor Gaozong, followed Tai, grandfather to fight the world, led more than ten years of soldiers, laid countless cities, what he had in his hand was silver and gold, when he was awarded the crown prince, he didn't look at the 200,000 silver in his eyes, he didn't say a word, it became an example! It's hard for us, what is the prince's little money enough for? 10,000 pieces of silver a year, if it weren't for that year in Jiangnan, let's not talk about anything else, it's just that the rewards are stretched! You can't take those things in the back vault for silver, right? ”

So that's it!

Zhou Baolu is a person who doesn't know the suffering of the world, and her hands are very scattered, the dowry account, the East Palace account, she depends on her mother for help, she doesn't bother to look at it, and her mother can't pit her!

I didn't know that this was the case.

"And then?" Zhou Baolu urged.

Xiao Hongcheng said with a smile: "Father Emperor Tianzong Shengming, you also know, my thoughts, there is nothing that his old man doesn't know, my father scolded me, saying that I received those things in Jiangnan, and I don't know if I look at his old man?" This time I will come to see Qian Xin's eyes again, but I will scold and scold, I still respond, and in the future, the industry in the hands of my little aunt will be interested, and I will share it with his old man! ”

"Sure enough, my father still loves you!" Zhou Baolu also saw that Qian was open-eyed, and his big eyes were bent into crescents.

The two of them almost met and counted the silver, Xiao Hongcheng was proud for a long time, and said with a smile: "As a result, my father was annoyed with me, and said that he would leave me to eat and not give me food, so he drove me out, and I haven't eaten yet!" ”

As soon as he came back, he pulled Zhou Baolu and said this, he really didn't care about eating.

Zhou Baolu smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, you earned me so much silver and came back, I'll take care of your food, what do you want to eat, I'll send someone to do it!" How much money do you say your aunt makes a year? How many can this half have? ”

Zhou Baolu was not thinking about Xiao Hongcheng's meal at all, his eyes were like ingots, but Zhu Tang heard it outside, and hurriedly sent someone to the kitchen to pass the dinner prepared by Xiao Hongcheng.

"When I came out, I quietly asked Uncle Shen." Xiao Hongcheng looked proud, lowered his voice, and said a few words in Zhou Baolu's ear, and Zhou Baolu's eyes suddenly became a real ingot.

This amount was really beyond her expectations, she didn't expect her little aunt to be so capable, and to hold so many things in her hands.

Oh, some people really lost their wives and soldiers.

Zhou Baolu thought that the person behind the scenes had been planning for a long time, wanting to cut off Xiao Hongcheng's financial route, but asked him to take the opportunity to dig up such a sum of money and come back, so he was full of fun.

Thank you for creating this opportunity!

Thinking of this, Zhou Baolu thought of yesterday's culprit and hurriedly asked Xiao Hongcheng: "What happened to your cousin?" ”

"Can it be as good as him?" Xiao Hongcheng said: "Uncle Shenwang, the person with the most eccentric temper, and his behavior is also absurd, he loves to go to the sea to find some strange scenes, and he is the most impatient with trivial and mundane things, but if he really wants to deal with things, it is the most ingenious, yesterday he announced in the lobby of the Zongren Mansion, and the uncle did not know anything, and immediately carried the bird cage home to clean up the people!" ”

This is interesting! Zhou Baolu suddenly forgot about the silver.
