I followed a few people in the countryside for an afternoon, returned to the house in the evening, and after eating, I sat down in the study, although I was a little tired, but Xuan Shijing really had the habit of going to bed just after seven o'clock at night.

"Long'er, what do you do in the mansion after I enter the palace?" Xuan Shijing asked, he suddenly thought that he would have to bring a scholar with him when he entered the palace tomorrow, and this matter had not yet been settled, and he happened to see Long'er on the side, Long'er had been with him for a long time, and he had changed someone else, and he really couldn't get used to it for a while.

Long'er shook her head, indicating that Xuan Shijing was not in the mansion and she was very idle.

"Okay, in this way, you will enter the palace with me tomorrow, anyway, you don't have to worry if I go out alone, just follow me, I still lack a scholar next to me, you can work part-time as a secretary, it just so happens that you have also studied and gone to school." Xuan Shijing said.

"But, little Hou Ye, how can you take a maid to school" Long'er said hesitantly, she really wanted to follow her own Hou Ye, but when she entered the palace to study with a scholar, where could she bring a maid.

"Isn't it okay for you to wear men's clothes, anyway, it's not the first time you've worn men's clothes, besides, what's wrong with the maid, you are the secretary of this marquis, how to say that you also have a senior title." Xuan Shijing retorted, and then made a final decision: "It's decided, tomorrow you go with me, just ride over, in the palace in the morning, maybe you have to run to the Zhuangzi in the afternoon, stained, Long'er, you talk about your Hou Ye and I are easy, when people are four years old, they all surround the adults in the house to ask for candy, Hou Ye, I have to take care of this is not a big deal, and it is not a small family business to laugh." ”

When Long'er heard Xuan Shijing say this, she thought about it carefully, it was indeed not easy for her own marquis, how could she bear to refuse the proposal of the little marquis, so she nodded and agreed to follow Xuan Shijing into the palace together.

Xuan Shijing saw that Long'er agreed, and said with a smile: "That's right, my sister Long'er, by the way, you can bring more for lunch in the future, I promised Brother Huaiyu that they would have dinner at noon, and they would have to prepare more, and I would also help Brother Lingwu chase girls." ”

Long'er was a little puzzled and asked, "Help Chai Gongzi chase girls?" Master Hou, what does this have to do with the food in our house? ”

"You don't understand this, if you want to tie a woman's heart, you have to tie a woman's stomach first, the person that Brother Ling Wu likes is Princess Baling, and today when we had lunch together, I thought of such a trick for him, as long as a girl is curious about a man, then she is not far from being conquered, and now what we have to do is to help Princess Baling, so that she is curious about Brother Lingwu."

Long'er was confused when she heard the words, but she felt that what Xuan Shijing said was very profound, and couldn't help asking: "Little Hou Ye, where did you learn this?" A flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and the expression on his face then turned into shock: "Little Hou Ye, you just went to Yanlai Tower once, and you learned these things, and it is better to go to that kind of place less in the future." ”

Xuan Shijing choked, where is this, why is it involved in Yanlailou again, this Long'er's brain hole is comparable to a black hole, but if you want to explain, you don't know how to explain it, so you just don't say anything, it's wrong to say more.

"Good Long'er, aren't I helping Brother Lingwu, it's hard work Sister Long'er, let's bring more good food tomorrow, okay?" Xuan Shijing pulled the corner of Long'er's clothes, pretending to be pitiful, and looked at Long'er with a pair of big watery eyes.

Seeing her little marquis looking at her like this, Long'er felt weak for a while, nodded and responded.

There was a knock on the door outside the study, and Long'er got up and walked to the door and opened it.

"Steward Zhong." Long'er greeted softly.

"I'm looking for the little marquis." Zhong Zishuo stood outside the door and said.

Xuan Shijing heard the voice outside the door and said, "Uncle Zhong? Come in, it's cold outside on the big night. ”

Long'er turned around and let Zhong Zishuo come into the study, and then closed the door tightly.

"Little Marquis." Zhong Zishuo walked to Xuan Shijing's case and bowed.

"Why is Uncle Zhong still so polite, come, sit." Xuan Shijing beckoned Zhong Zishuo to sit down: "Uncle Zhong is looking for me, but is there something wrong?" ”

Zhong Zishuo sat down cross-legged and said: "Exactly, the little marquis has been either in the bedroom or in the study all day recently, and the cousin and the cousin can't see you, so ask me to ask, what is the matter of the cousin's recognition of his ancestors and his return to the ancestors, what is the saying of the little marquis, it has been delayed for nearly a month." ”

Xuan Shijing lined up his head: "I really forgot about this, I can't see them all day, it just so happens that the house is busy with the paper mill, and now I have entered the palace again, Uncle Zhong, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Although it is said that the Xuan Lin Dao family is in the same vein as the Xuan family, what happened before was not experienced by a younger generation of Xuan Shijing, so I want to know what these people who experienced those things at the beginning think.

Zhong Zishuo said: "Mrs. said that she said that she wanted the little marquis to make up your mind, according to the news that came back from Shanxi, the Li family in Hanzhong was downcast last autumn. ”

"Why is that?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled, remembering that when the Xuan Lindao family came to Chang'an a year ago, at the gate of the mansion, the Li family was still arrogant, why did her mother's family fall last fall?

"This matter is also complicated, during the Wude period, the Li family in Hanzhong is a vassal of the Zhao Wangfu, as the saying goes, the back of the big tree is good to enjoy the shade, through the name of the King of Zhao, the Li family in Hanzhong that is also prosperous, the Li family and the Zhao Wangfu are also close, four hours and eight festivals of the regular gift to the Zhao Wangfu, the Zhao King saw that it was profitable, and they went, so the Li family was also prosperous at that time, and later the Zhao King was transferred to Anzhou, as the governor of Anzhou, left Shanxi, the Li family began to go downhill, after His Majesty ascended the throne, A group of new magnates have emerged, all of them have business on hand, and some have even formed caravans and left the Western Regions, and the competition in that area has become fierce, and a small Li family that has lost its backing has naturally declined, and now the Li family, there is only that big courtyard left, and the business has been eaten almost, and now it is completely eating the old book, as for the cousin and the cousin to come to Chang'an, they were also instructed by the Li family to find a new backer in Chang'an. Zhong Zishuo slowly told Xuan Shijing about the causes and consequences of some things.

I see, I'm afraid that the Li family only learned about it when he came to Chang'an, otherwise how could he be as arrogant and domineering as before when he came to the Hou Mansion at that time.

In fact, what Xuan Shijing saw was that the current Li family had already converged a lot, otherwise if this was the case at the beginning, Xuan Mingde and the Wang family would not have expelled these two people from the clan.

"Little Hou Ye, look at this" Zhong Zishuo looked at Xuan Shijing hesitantly.

"Now they want Li Shiqing to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, what they want is to use the name of the Hou Mansion to make the Li family make a comeback? I'm afraid the name of the Hou Mansion is not enough. Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

Zhong Zishuo's face was stunned, and then he fell into thought.
