June, the beginning of midsummer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The price of grain in Shangjing has stabilized, although it is still a little high, but it has fallen a lot, in the west courtyard of the Li family, at this time, there are people who are busy cleaning, Li Caier walked along the corridor, guiding a few people to put the supplementary things in the house.

"Sister, don't be so troublesome, it's good for me to live in Mochizuki Tower, and I won't be able to live for a few days." On the side of the corridor, Li Huai looked helplessly at the few people busy in the courtyard, since he met with Yan Fan, he no longer deliberately concealed the news of his return to Beijing, went to the ninth master of the internal guard to order it, and asked people to send a message to the family, but he didn't expect Li Caier to lose his temper with the person who came and let Li Huai go home to live.

"Can I live there? This is your home, is it possible that you want people to make irresponsible remarks, and the reputation of the General's Mansion is gone? Besides, you haven't married yet, so what will you do if people know that you have a home all day long and don't come back? Li Cai'er didn't look at him either, and said to herself, since the General's Mansion got into trouble because of her marriage a few years ago, she looked at these things extraordinarily, if Li Huaizhen lived in the Moon Tower, I was afraid that she would not be able to sleep.

Li Huai knew her anxiety and smiled, "What my sister said is that I was reckless, so I'll let them bring all the things." ”

"Well," Li Cai'er nodded and looked at him imposingly, "By the way, and your woman outside, take this opportunity to bring it back, I'll take a look, if it's not suitable, I'll drive it away." ”

Li Huai was stunned for a moment, and always felt that the other party hadn't seen him for a few months, so why did he become more and more stern, "Okay." As he spoke, he turned around and left, and when he was about to reach the gate of the outer courtyard, Li Huai leaned back and shouted loudly, "Bring them all back?!" ”

Li Cai'er's face suddenly turned cold: "How many are you?!" ”

Since Li He left, the eldest son Li Chenxian returned to the imperial city, and rarely came back, Li Caier moved back to the General's Mansion, and he also lived in a simple place, and once thought about letting Li Huai's mother in Yecheng move over, but after saying it a few times, Li He and Li Huai did not agree, and now she is also a little lonely, watching Li Huai run away, but her heart is a little happy, this younger brother has brought vitality and vitality to this family that has not been in the past.

The improvement of people's livelihood is due to the reactivation of the strict minister by the saint, plus the decree issued by the prince's mansion in front of it, most of which have no effect, so most people still think that the right minister's means are good, for a while, they also feel that the old man has deep roots in the middle of the court, and it is really not that the prince can shake it for a while, and the prince's mansion is also controversial because of the food price issue this time, but to everyone's surprise, the right minister did not target the prince's party too much in this matter, and the two families seem to be in a posture of silence. It made the court feel peaceful.

In the past few days, in front of the door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, there are always a number of carriages parked, some wearing official uniforms, some are dressed as wealthy businessmen, and some are dressed as literati, coming and going, walking and stopping, but few can enter the door, compared to the bustle of the front door, the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is much quieter.

An old man, dressed in coarse cloth, was watching the koi in the pond in the yard.

"He sees better than you that the reason why I don't care about what you did before is because he doesn't ask, as long as he doesn't ask, no one in the world can care, hey...... After all, our Yan family is just a group of minions. The old man leaned forward, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and the young man behind him was a little less frivolous, looking at his father's back, he was also a little discouraged in his heart.

The old man said and stretched out his hand to throw some bait into the river, and the koi gathered and hugged together, looking particularly lively, "Look, aren't all people in the world all the fish in this pond?" No matter how much you fight and grab, it's just food from the owner. ”

"But I don't want to be a fish in the pond." As the young man spoke, the old man turned his head to look at it, and then continued to cast bait into the pond, and just as the young man was about to turn away, the old man sighed and said, "If you want to jump out of the pond, you must wait for the right weather." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, bowed to the old man, and left, the weather in June was getting hotter, and after listening to the old man's words, he felt a burst of heat for no reason, and when he left through the back door in the carriage, he noticed that his palms were sweating......

In the room of Mochizuki Tower, Li Huai had just sat down, and guests came to the room, one old and one young, but it really made Li Huai sweat, "Li Huai, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Get up." Yuan Chengdao, looking at the young man kneeling in front of him, his eyes were a little complicated, and he suddenly thought of a lot in his mind, until Shang Xue on the side reminded him that he took his thoughts back.

"Li Huai, the teacher said that you have real talent, and this time it really surprised me."

"Shang Lao praised it, I am also doing things for the emperor......"

"Bang" The palm of his hand slapped on the table, Yuan Chengdao smiled coldly, "You are really amazing!" Shang Xue also frowned when he saw this, before going out, he had already talked a lot to the prince, but he didn't expect to see the main master, and he was still on fire in his belly.

Shang Xue couldn't help sighing, "Taibai, the prince is not angry with you, I have already reported everything you have done, and I have also explained the benefits and helplessness for you, don't be afraid." ”

"Of course he is not afraid, buying grain from traitors, colluding with officials and businessmen, buying and selling, and wantonly raising the price of grain, one by one, the timid are afraid that they will be scared to death a long time ago!" At the beginning, Shang Xue told the prince about some things Li Huai had done, and the other party was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that there were still such things in the world, it was really incredible.

Li Huai frowned, was silent for a moment, and saw that Yuan Chengdao was no longer reproaching, so he opened his mouth in a low voice, "What the prince blames is, I also have no better way, after all, it is a few big clans, and there are also members of the court, I am a grasshopper shaking the tree, naturally I have to use some unexpected methods, and the helplessness in it, I think the prince should have an experience." ”

Yuan Chengdao was stunned for a moment, he set up a banquet for a long time, and he also let go of the posture that should be released, but he still didn't let those people let go, and he naturally knew their stubbornness and shamelessness in his heart, "But you are an internal guard, how dare you buy food with that person?" Besides, what you did was, in my opinion, fueling the fire, making food prices rise in less than two months. ”

"If you don't push up the price of food, those people won't get carried away, so I took advantage of the loophole. As for the person you mentioned, he is just a mountain villager, so he will not worry the prince. Li Huai said, seeing that the other party's expression was a little relaxed, "Please wait a little ...... prince."

Ying Hongsleeves and Ying Tianxiang were already waiting there outside the door, and the two heard the prince's questioning, and when they saw Li Huai pushing the door out, with a smile on their faces, they sighed in their hearts, "Red sleeves, go get some money, one achievement is enough." ”

"Hey." Ying Hongsleeve hurriedly turned around and went to another room, Li Huai looked at Ying Tianxiang again, and when he saw the dagger exposed in the sleeve in the other party's hand, his face couldn't help but change, and then he smiled again, "Why are you worried, your family is in charge?" ”

Ying Tianxiang glanced at him, her face was still indifferent, "Don't worry, if something happens, I will bear it, you ......" Li Huai was halfway through his words, looking at the other party and turning his head, "If something happens to you, I will kill them, and I will go with you." ”

When the woman spoke, her eyes always looked at Li Huai, and the coldness and coldness in her eyes really pierced Li Huai's heart, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of women's tenderness.

"Hehe" Li Huai stretched out his hand to wipe Ying Tianxiang's face, the other party just wanted to have a seizure, just when Ying Hongsleeve came over, and it turned out to be a delicate box, Li Huai hurriedly reversed it, leaving Ying Hongsleeve looking at his sister's white and red face with a smile.

After a while, the door opened again, and Yuan Chengdao strode out, still a little angry on his face, and went downstairs by himself without waiting for Shang Xue behind him.

"Prince, I also value you, don't take it to heart, I took the silver, and I also ......have an explanation from the Ministry of War and Zhang Jun" Shang Xue persuaded a few words, and then left with him, Li Huai nodded, and sent it to the bottom of Mochizuki, watching them leave.

Ying Hongsleeves and Ying Tianxiang followed, "Why do you have this expression?" Li Huai looked at them with a distressed expression.

"My money!" Li Huai's face was sad, Ying Hong's sleeves sneered, and Ying Tianxiang turned around and left.

And on the carriage, Yuan Chengdao looked at the silver ticket in the box, "I can't imagine that in just a few months, he can earn so much from those people, master, do you think he is good or bad?" Is it loyalty or treachery? Can it be used by me? ”

The old man smiled, "Loyalty, treachery, good and evil? His Royal Highness the Prince, instead of caring about this, let's think about how to take the next step, although this son is not used by me now, but it is not something that the Yan family can use, as long as you ascend to the treasure, it is not too late to think about this when the time comes. ”

Yuan Chengdao nodded, and Shang Xue deliberately reminded: "He is now the person next to the saint, His Royal Highness still has to deliberately avoid it, although he gave this silver, I think it is also the saint nodded, His Highness still has to go to the saint to reply, after all, it is father and son." ”
