"These ten pearls were given by His Majesty to the concubine. The concubine said that it was useless for her to stay by her side, knowing that you had made a great contribution this time, and you were almost at the age of marriage, if you fancy a young lady, maybe it can come in handy, so she will send me to give you these ten pearls. ”

Li Zhihe, the adopted son of the Marquis of Xinchang, had a calm demeanor, and when Han Qian sent the irrelevant people away, he took out a brocade bag from his arms and handed the ten Hepu beads contained in it to Han Qian, who was lying in his arms.

The concubine has always been unfavored, or after the third prince Yang Yuanpu really entered the field of vision of Emperor Tianyou's heir, the concubine received more rewards, but until now, she has not lived a good life for a few days, and it is not easy to take out ten Hepu beads at once.

On the one hand, it is one thing to talk about merit, but the more important move is that the princess and Mrs. Wang bowed her head to Han Qian and admitted her mistake because of her previous suspicion and rejection.

Li Chong was jealous in his heart, but there was no way.

Whoever has the ability to make the three princes, who are in turmoil and are controlled by the slaves and maids of the Anning Palace, become the military master with five or six thousand soldiers and horses in just three or four months, who is qualified to force the princess and the princess to bow her head and admit her mistakes.

Although for the sake of these five or six thousand soldiers and horses, the Xinchang Marquis Mansion took out more than 20,000 stone of grain and other large quantities of materials in just one month, and before Tuntian took effect, the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the Late Red Mansion had to paste a large amount of money and grain every month, which was the fundamental foundation for the establishment of the Dragon Bird Army, but Li Chong also had to admit that without the "Epidemic Water Sparse", especially without Han Qian and Han Daoxun's clever plan to suppress first and then promote, no matter how much money and materials the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the Late Red Mansion had, it would be impossible to change the situation to this point in such a short period of time.

"I'm sick, what kind of marriage are you talking about? Also, at the beginning of the month, the military government borrowed more than 100 stone rice and iron charcoal and other materials from the villa, and the lime was still owed more than ten days of accounts that had not been settled. Han Qian didn't forget to groan twice, thinking that this month, he would produce 5,000 quintals of lime and sell it to the cantonment military government at only a quarter of the market price, and he would lose a hundred cakes of gold for this amount alone.

These ten dragon's eye-sized Hepu beads are barely worth a hundred cakes of gold.

After all, the concubine didn't give him any reward!

Cangcao joined the army as a person from the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, and he controlled the money and food of the military government, and this person did not know Han Qian's true identity, even if the accounts were all approved by Shen Yang, he was also owed to Cangcao to join the army, waiting for Han Qian to send someone to pay homage - Han Qian thought to himself that it was already the end of the year, and this account had to be cleared first, so that he could have the spare strength to do other things.

Unexpectedly, Han Qian lay on the hospital bed and did not forget to collect debts, Li Zhihe and Chai Jian couldn't cry or laugh, so they had to promise: "As long as Han Gongzi is in good health, we will remember to urge this matter when we pass by when we return to the city." ”

It is inconvenient for Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, to directly come forward to help Yang Yuanpu, the third prince, to take charge of the army, and Li Zhihe, the adopted son of Marquis Xinchang, who served as the first Marquis of Longque Army, is the real commander of the army; And Chen De, as the deputy commander, is just a shelf on the surface.

"If Gongzi Han is still too ill to attend tomorrow's banquet, His Highness may come to the villa to visit him in person, I believe that Gongzi Han doesn't want to alarm His Highness, right?" Chai Jian, who didn't say much after coming over, said in a hoarse voice at this time.

Listening to Chai Jian's voice, Han Qian was slightly startled, he didn't expect that the swordsman who wore a bronze mask in the courtyard of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and guarded the secret passage for the black gauze woman that day was Chai Jian, the second son-in-law of Xinchang Marquis Li Pu.

The symbiotic relationship between the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Late Red Mansion is even closer than he imagined!

Or rather, Xinchang Hou Li Pu was a person from the late Red Mansion from the beginning, but with the Tianyou Emperor's southern expedition to the north and the south, his status has gradually become prominent - or perhaps, Xinchang Hou Li Pu has been able to make contributions over the years, and it is inseparable from the secret support of the late Red Mansion?

Han Qian ignored Chai Jianyu's threat, and couldn't help but glance at Li Zhihe again, thinking to himself, is this Li Zhihe really the son of Li Pu's general?

Han Qian is doing everything possible to do now The main thing is not to attract the attention of Anning Palace and the crown prince as much as possible, and naturally he doesn't want to make trouble to the point where the third prince Yang Yuanpu really comes to the door to invite, so he pushes the boat down the river and says:

"In the past few days of recuperation, a lot of schoolwork has been wasted, and my body is like rust, so I should get up and move. Oh, by the way, tomorrow Your Highness will have a banquet, you can invite Miss Yao to dance a song to cheer up! ”

"Han Gongzi has this elegance, we will remember to say it when we come back; Whether Miss Yao is willing or not, we have no way to guarantee. Chai Jian said quietly.

"It's easy to say, even if His Majesty decrees, there is still a saying that 'the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be granted'? Who can force anyone to work these days? Han Qian said with a smile.

Li Zhihe frowned slightly, Han Qian said this naturally to ask Yao Xishui to be subordinate to him in the future, and Li Chong must no longer point fingers at him, otherwise, even if Han Qian is forced to go to the banquet tomorrow, he will not want Han Qian to offer another plan in the future.

Chai Jian and Li Chong were a little annoyed and kept silent.

Li Zhihe said: "The second brother and Xishui acted a little reckless in the past, and Zhihe made an apology to Han Gongzi on their behalf. Tomorrow, if I can invite Miss Yao, I will invite Miss Yao to dance a song to cheer up......"

Yao Xishui will either not go to the Linjiang Hou Mansion tomorrow, or she will come to the Linjiang Hou Mansion as a kabuki in the late Red Mansion, how can she hide it from people if she doesn't perform.

Li Zhihe is not afraid of Han Qian's arrogance, but he still wants to try his best to find a way to calm down the resentment in each other's hearts, and don't do bad things.

Li Zhihe can say this, Han Qian wants to look up to him.

The moon is like a silver hook, hanging cornices.

The lights in the building are dim, and the wooden floor is covered with a few faint shadows of branches and leaves.

"It is also a duty to cherish the water and sing and dance to accompany the wine, there is nothing to do," Yao Xishui sat in front of the desk, listened to the letter brought back by Chai Jian, and did not show any annoyance, but said indifferently, "However, Han Qian has done everything possible to trample on His Highness's trust in us, His Royal Highness is still young and does not know people's hearts, and it is inevitable to be affected by it at this time, and it is even more difficult to say that he will not be manipulated by him in the future." ”

Although Han Qian was her chosen target, and she initially advocated keeping this person or usefulness, at this time it also proved that Han Qian was not only useful, but also useful, far beyond their initial expectations, but at this time, Yao Xishui felt that Han Qian was more like a poisonous snake lurking in the depths of the grass, and if he was not careful, the Evening Red Mansion would also be bitten by him fiercely.

And Han Qian humiliated her and Li Chong several times without scruples, in the eyes of others, it may be that Han Qian has a good temperament and is arrogant, but no matter how Yao Xishui looks at it, he thinks that Han Qian did it intentionally.

The intention is to weaken the trust on their side, so that he can have a stronger influence on the third prince Yang Yuanpu.

Including Yang Yuanpu, the third prince of Jinjing, forcing Li Zhihe, Li Chong, and Chai Jian to invite Han Qian to the banquet, it all shows that Han Qian's intentions are working.

"This son is anxious to break free from the control of the Late Red Mansion, and if he doesn't guard against it at this time, it may become a big harm." Chai Jian was officially transferred to the Dragon Bird Army at this time, and he could show his face in Jinling City, but he was still used to wearing a bronze face in the late Red Mansion, and it seemed that this hideous mask was his true face.

He also felt that Han Qian was an extremely dangerous figure, and such a character was desperate to break free from the control of the Evening Red Mansion.

"Han Qian's son is so talented that he competes for favor, but it is his eagerness that may be due to his true temperament. Otherwise, with his ingenuity, he would not have known the truth of pretending to be obedient and hiding his schemes. After Li Zhihe returned to the city, he changed into civilian clothes, but he also looked elegant, sitting in front of the desk quite casually, and said.

Li Zhihe didn't have worse insight than others, and he couldn't understand why Han Qian was so anxious, the explanation he could think of was that Han Qian was arrogant, and he also had a grudge against Yao Xishui for poisoning him.

However, in Li Zhihe's opinion, there is a reason why he has a grudge against a person like Han Qian, and he can't abandon it for this reason.

Xinchang Hou Li Pu glanced at the black gauze woman, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly and said: "This kind of person has a bit of a stinky temper, and it's really a headache!" ”

Looking at the attitudes of Li Zhihe and Li Pu, they still want to continue to connive at Han Qian's rampant, Yao Xishui couldn't help but say again: "Those who really have talents are other Han Daoxun; What Han Qian has is nothing more than some feminine thoughts. ”

In Yao Xishui's view, Han Qian has been adopted in front of the knee of his second uncle Han Daochang since he was a child, and it is inevitable that he will develop a soft mind and a gloomy heart since he was a child, but he will not feel that he really has any talent.

"Han Daoxun is noble and pure, and he will not be easily used by us, so it is even more important to keep Han Qian." Li Zhihe said.

Han Daoxun has a clear reputation as an official in Chuzhou and Guangling, and it is not a secret to them that Wang Jixiong recommended Han Daoxun to enter the dynasty before he resigned, but Li Zhihe had never contacted Han Daoxun before, thinking that under the fame of this person, it may be difficult to live up to the truth.

In fact, Xinchang Hou Li Pu and others did not pay much attention to Han Daoxun.

This time, seeing that "Epidemic Water Sparse" can play such a big role, although Li Zhihe doesn't agree with Han Daoxun's behavior of not caring about his fame and fortune at all in order to promote this matter to benefit the hungry people, it is precisely like this, which makes him admire his human temperament even more.

Li Zhihe didn't think that Han Daoxun could be easily co-opted by any force, which also made it even more necessary to leave Han Qian for their use.
