Chapter 253: Xuanyuan Ming's request was disappointed again
"What the hell did you say? Please also let the concubine know. Lan Wan looked earnestly.
In the past three years, she has rarely had such a panicked moment, because of the experience of her previous life, she feels that Guan Ming has no regrets and is obsessed with her.
But she forgot this, she had deep emotions in her previous life, and the Guan Ming in front of her was not the person who had experienced hardship and torture with her in her previous life, and their feelings were still different.
"The princess of the Tatar tribe in the northwest has taken a fancy to the official and is willing to exchange tens of thousands of cattle and sheep for this marriage." The concubine looked at Lan Wan's face and said this matter briefly.
"Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep for an official?" Lan Wan suddenly felt that this was the best joke she had ever heard.
There are countless shops under Guan Ming, and the industry behind them is even more huge, how can he not even afford tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, this is simply a joke.
"The khan of the Tatar tribe has written to the emperor, asking for a marriage with the Xia Dynasty, and will help him in the future when fighting against the barbarians in the northwest." The concubine continued.
"How did Guan Ming reply? What does the emperor plan? Lan Wan asked further.
"I heard that General Guan seems to have refused, but the emperor has not yet given a clear answer, you have to be mentally prepared." The concubine Niangniang gave Lan Wan a vaccination in advance.
After all, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and if he can exchange a woman for the peace of Hexia, the emperor will definitely be willing.
Women have always been victims of men.
Jiang Guifei could only lament: Even such an outstanding figure as the saint can't escape such a fate, how dare she expect too much!
"Thank you Concubine Niangniang for reminding me today, Lan Wan has taken it to heart.
I don't think it's too early, I'll come to visit the concubine another day. ”
Lan Wan nodded with the concubine Niangniang and stood up from the stool.
"The saint walks slowly." Jiang Guifei bowed her head slightly and said respectfully.
"The concubine doesn't send it." Lan Wan nodded, turned around and walked out of Jiang Guifei's palace.
Dew Zhu kept following Lan Wan's side, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, since you know that there is a problem with the ginseng tea, why don't you tell the emperor?" ”
"Even you can see that you really didn't treat me in vain." Lan Wan was relieved.
Even someone as big as the dew can see through the key, but the emperor is immersed in it and enjoys it, and the reason for this must be unusual.
"Thank you, Miss, for the compliment." Dew Drop was not shy at all, and generously accepted Lan Wan's praise.
"However, what if the general really marries the princess?" Thinking of this question, Dew Drop couldn't help but worry about her own young lady.
"He won't." Speaking of this sentence, Lan Wan herself was a little bottomless.
"But the concubine said that the emperor did not refuse!" Dew Drop bluntly gave Lan Wan a blow.
"When did you worry about this? It's better to think about yourself, you are already 16, it's time to find a good family to marry, but who you like, it's good for Miss to make decisions for you. Lan Wan changed the subject.
"Who do you like?" As soon as this question was spoken, Dew Drop really looked up at the sky and thought about it seriously.
"Nope." After thinking about it for a long time, Dew Drop didn't come up with a reason, and shook her head at Lan Wan affirmatively.
"It's okay for Dew to follow Miss, just marry Miss!" Dew drops don't care to say.
"Heh, I don't dare to marry you, if I really marry you, you will fall in love with someone in the future, and you will have to make trouble here with me." Chatting with Dewdrop, Lan Wan's mood was better again
Many.
"Don't make a fuss, the young lady will give the slave a letter of resignation, and by the way, just give me some family property." Dew Drop is innocent and straightforward.
"Before people get married, thinking about dividing the family property, your mind is not small!" Lan Wan couldn't help but laugh.
"The slave's mind is all on Miss, and Miss can't bear to let me eat the last meal or not?" Dew Drop pretended to have a pitiful expression.
"Okay, I'll give you a big piece of property when the time comes!" Lan Wan finally said that she was happy, and the previous haze was swept away.
In the following time, Lan Wan has been monitoring the problem of grain and grass reserves, so as not to let anyone take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Finally, on the tenth day, Yang Xiaowan prepared all the required grain and grass.
Lan Wan immediately drove the carriage and rushed to the grain and grass reserve outside the city.
The place that was temporarily built to stack grain and grass had already been heavily guarded by the imperial city to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation.
When Lan Wan arrived, she saw Yang Xiaowan counting the grain and grass in each tent.
"Wanwan!" Lan Wan screamed and walked over to her.
"How?" She asked.
"The food is almost ready, and I've got a good batch of goods." Yang Xiaowan winked at Lan Wan mysteriously.
Then she handed the account book in her hand to the person next to her, and pulled Lan Wan to the side.
"What?" Lan Wan asked.
"You'll know when you get there." Yang Xiaowan smiled mysteriously.
pulled Yang Lanwan to the last tent.
Yang Xiaowan lifted the tent and walked in with Lan Wan.
There were coarse cloth bags piled up inside, Yang Xiaowan took out the knife he was carrying, and gently cut a coarse cloth sack next to him.
"Jerky? Where did you get this from? Lan Wan's eyes were full of admiration, don't look at Wanwan's young age, but she is old-fashioned, not inferior to her at all!
"What the little marquis Song provided!" Yang Xiaowan opened a pair of eyes and said as a matter of course.
"Sister, you said that our family has never had a relationship with Song Xiaohou, what does he mean by giving us so much jerky? What am I going to receive? Or don't take it? But what came to my mouth made me vomit out, and my heart really hurt. Yang Xiaowan couldn't make up her mind.
"Take it. Anyway, it is given to the soldiers at the border to eat, their children in the imperial city, they have enjoyed comfort for too long, why not contribute a little food? Lan Wan decided directly.
"Sister, but this is not your character at all! No merit, are you ...... Sister" Yang Xiaowan's eyes were purring, obviously not knowing where to run.
"I was overly angry with the official brother, and I was ready to find a next home? But I heard that this Song Xiaohou killed his wife not long after he got married, are you not afraid, sister? ”
"What are you thinking about all day long, I accepted his things, naturally because he asked me." Lan Wan knocked on Yang Xiaowan's head, don't let her head run away every day.
"Please marry him?" Yang Xiaowan said quickly.
"Wanwan, it seems that you don't want to do business with Jinxiuyuan anymore." After the corners of Lan Wan's mouth, her eyes flashed with a sly look.
"Sister, don't, I was wrong, I shouldn't talk nonsense." As soon as she heard that she didn't do business, Yang Xiaowan was in a hurry.
Not giving business is like choking her lifeline, making her worse than death!
"Okay, you send someone to take care of the grain, and I will arrange for someone to come over to take over. Xi Jiangyue and Ah Sleeve will remember to call over later, I'm afraid that something will happen. Lan Wan said.
"Sister don't worry, I know." Yang Xiaowan patted her chest and promised.
Lan Wan glanced at her with disgust, "The breasts are small enough, and I am still shooting, and I am not afraid that someone will dislike it in the future." ”
"......" Yang Xiaowan has internal injuries!
It seems that Sister Ah is really not easy to mess with, and she still holds grudges, so she made a joke, and now she is disgusted and sent abroad!
"Sister, I'm still young!" Yang Xiaowan pretended to squint her eyes and smirked.
"It's small!" Lan Wan nodded in agreement, but those cold eyes still circled around Yang Xiaowan's chest several times.
The look of contempt speaks for itself.
Yang Xiaowan lamented: Sister, what about your personality? Can't you be a little more reserved? Give me back my cold goddess!
After the grain and grass sent to the northwest were prepared, Lan Wan was planning to play the emperor the next day, and Xi Jiangyue and Ah Sleeve tied two people and came to Shangshu Mansion.
"Holy Maiden, these two people wanted to burn grain and grass last night, but they were caught by the two of us, what do you think we should do?" Xijiang monthly notice.
"Did you ask something?" Lan Wan was ready to go out.
"It happened suddenly, and we didn't have time to interrogate it." Xi Jiangyue sighed a little disappointed.
"Okay, I'm just going to the palace, you two should take him along." Lan Wan beckoned for the dew to come over and put on a windproof cloak.
Xi Jiangyue and Ah Sleeve took the two prisoners and followed.
Lan Wan took people directly to the palace, because of her status as a saint, she has many privileges in the palace, such as escorting people into the palace, it is just a trivial matter. The emperor had just finished discussing state affairs with the minister, and he didn't expect Lan Wan to bring someone into the palace at this time.
"Holy Maiden, who are these two?" The emperor took a sip of hot tea, he always felt that it was not a taste, recently, he has become more and more addicted to Queen Zhou's ginseng tea, no matter how stupid he is, he also knows that the queen has already attacked him!
"Back to Your Majesty, these two people wanted to burn the grain and grass in the northwest last night, but they were caught by the minister's men!" Lan Wan replied.
"Bold! The grain and grass in the northwest is related to the national lineage, who dares to be so bold, and actually dares to shake the foundation of me and Xia! "The emperor is angry!
immediately called the chief eunuch of Xingshi to come over, pulled the two people down, and tortured them!
It didn't take long for the fortunate eunuch to come up with a bloody confession.
"Your Majesty, those two have already been recruited!" Complete Notice.
"Oh, what does that say?" The emperor took another sip of hot tea.
"This person confessed, it was the eldest prince of the Zhou Mansion who gave them two hundred taels of silver and came to make trouble!"
"Zhou Mansion?" The emperor's eyes darkened!
"Your Majesty, it's a matter of state affairs, and you can't slack off." Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Lan Wan immediately reminded her.
Although she probably had a few guesses in her heart, she never made a move herself, so the result of being personally tried by the emperor was even more shocking!" Go and bring the eldest son of the Zhou family for questioning. "Being watched by the saint, the emperor can't indulge too much because the Zhou family is the queen's maiden family!
"Yes." After receiving the words, let people go to take the eldest son of the Zhou family.
As a result, he brought the wife of the Zhou family.
"Emperor Qiqi, the eldest son of the Zhou family, went out of the city to buy goods yesterday, was held hostage by roaming robbers, and has already gone." A complete and painful return.
Mrs. Zhou had a white flower on her head, her whole body was plain white, her face was haggard, and she looked a little sad and excessive.
Lan Wan only glanced at it, and saw that Mrs. Zhou was pretending, how could a person who could entertain herself when Zhou Yunhe went out, how could she be heartbroken by the death of an eldest son!
This is clearly for others to see. This week's matter of the eldest prince, I'm afraid there is another hidden story.
"Your Majesty, the people's woman's Gong'er died so miserably!" As soon as Mrs. Zhou raised her hand, she wiped the handkerchief dipped in ginger water and wiped it on her eyes, and her tears flowed down in an instant, a bleak look.
"Mrs. Zhou, please mourn." Lan Wan spoke, symbolically consoling.
"Holy ...... Saint...... How did you end up here? Mrs. Zhou was taken aback.
In recent years, the imperial city has spread her to a bit of mystery, and when she thinks of what happened in her family, she inevitably feels a little weak.
"This holy woman is discussing with the emperor about the issue of grain and grass in the northwest, it's normal to appear here, right?" The corners of Lan Wan's lips were slightly raised, revealing a slightly meaningful smile!
"Normal, of course normal!" Mrs. Zhou nodded awkwardly.
"Your Majesty, you have something important, the woman will go back first, and Gong'er is still waiting for me in the house!" Mrs. Zhou pulled out a smile.
