Although Xu Xun has already released the rumor, saying that he has recognized the Shen family as the wife of Yuan, even if it is continued, it will still make the ministers and nobles in the capital rush to it. It is true that the reputation of the hereditary prince is good, but it is said that it is no longer as good as the momentum of the founding of the country and Yongle, otherwise in the name of the prince of Chengguo, how could he marry the daughter of his in-law to Li Dongyang, it was not a second marriage but a third marriage. Therefore, even if Xu Liang hid out of the mansion in the name of asking for the surname of the governor, and there was no individual hostess in Xing'anbo Mansion, there were people who ignored the fact that Xu Xun was alone at home, and came to the door to personally propose to him, not to mention, and to Xu Liang.

This eagerness is also natural. There are often those who break the inheritance because they don't have sons, but they have almost never heard of any generation without daughters, and if they marry well, they can pull their mother's family, so they have always been the best bargaining chips for marriage. As for those daughters, it is already a first-class family affair to marry the right noble son, not to mention the hot Xu Xun now? At this time, no one cared about the bad deeds of his youth, and no one even dared to mention the prodigal son's return to the gold. As for Xu Liang, there are still people who are over sixty years old, not to mention that he is not yet fifty?

At this moment, Xu Xun sent Xuancheng Bo out of the second door, and he was relieved to see people get into the car and go away. But before he could wipe his sweaty head from listening to the nagging for too long, at the corner of the road where the carriage had just disappeared, a figure rushed out in three steps and two steps.

"Young master, Grandpa Liu is here!"

Knowing that Liu Jin was coming, Xu Xun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that Uncle Xuancheng had just left, and he also stood in place and waited for a while, sure enough, within a while, Liu Jin took two little eunuchs to the front, and there was an internal envoy carrying a load of things behind, and two small firefighters carrying a bamboo basket. After the two smiled and gave up their hands, Liu Jin said with a smile: "I came today to give you a little fresh fruit on the order of the emperor." The bamboo basket is full of plums, and the load is persimmons, all of which the emperor tasted and said was good, so he asked me to give it to you. If you don't need a word, you don't need to be grateful. ”

Knowing that Zhu Houzhao didn't care about those clichés the most, Xu Xun naturally asked Liu Jin to thank him with a smile on his face, and invited someone to speak. The two of them are extremely familiar with each other, Liu Jin went straight to the door and just met Xuanchengbo, and asked him what he meant, seeing Xu Xun tell the truth with a bitter gourd face, he couldn't help laughing.

"I said Brother Xu, others are worried that they can't pick a good one, but you are someone else who is willing to marry, and you are unwilling to marry! Speaking of which, the emperor is the same, since I used that trick, I got people directly to Kunning Palace, Li Rong ate a lot of food, several times asked to see the emperor, please go over there to see those women who should be selected, the emperor all said that he was not available, but he pretended to be a little eunuch to see that Zhou Qi Niang twice, and I saw that there was a show. I told the emperor that it was your idea, and the emperor was happy, so he gave you these fresh fruits.

By the way, I have another good thing to tell you, the marriage of the eldest lady of the Marquis of Shouning was decided in the next few days, and the emperor said that he would personally be the matchmaker for the marriage. Hou Shouning had just quietly made a good errand for military supplies, and this was another happy event, and it was really a double happiness. And the Marquis of Jianchang Mansion does not have a daughter of appropriate age, so you don't have to worry about the queen mother's mandarin ducks. ”

Speaking of which, seeing that Xu Xun's face was very delicate, Liu Jin and Xu Xun now happened to be wearing a pair of pants, and when he said this, he squeezed his eyes again: "Brother Xu, that is the person who the emperor personally accompanies the eldest lady, it can almost be said to be one in a thousand, it is said that it is a great favor, but in the end, it is also a big trouble for you." When he said that the emperor would be your matchmaker in person, don't forget that I am the one who pulls the red line. ”

"I can't forget it, I can't forget it, I will definitely give you a big red envelope for thank you at that time."

"However, I let Gonggong Gao get ahead of Li Rong, that old guy suffered a dumb loss, and he didn't seem to stop much, and these days he often sent the new Fengyu Du Jin to Shouning Hou's Mansion, I don't know what he is planning. That place is beyond my reach, even Lao Gu feels tricky, don't you have some friendship with Shou Ninghou, it's best to take precautions and investigate. Don't let him make any moths come out at that time, we will be caught off guard......"

After sitting for a while, Liu Jin was worried about the palace, so he naturally got up and said goodbye. When Xu Xun sent him out, he asked Liu Jin's family as if unintentionally, and learned that his two nephews had already seen Zhu Houzhao, although they had not been awarded an official, but Zhu Houzhao did not treat them lightly, and they were each rewarded with an ingot of gold, so he immediately said to Tao Hong who was following behind: "You go to the treasury to take a look, I remember that there were a few auspicious pattern makeup satins before, and I went to get them." ”

When Tao Hong ran away, he smiled at Liu Jin: "Don't laugh at me for not giving anything valuable, your two nephews just picked it up, let's get a good word first." These pieces of makeup satin have a good name, called the third level of promotion, and I brought them back to cut a few clothes, hoping that they can have a good future. ”

Liu Jin loves money, but he hopes that his two nephews can have a hereditary future, so that they can eat and wear without worry, and future generations can enjoy the shade. Therefore, Xu Xun's good mouth immediately made him smile. When Tao Hong came out with two small servants holding two horses, he vaguely saw that the pattern on the top was three halberds in the vase, and he immediately realized the origin of this homonym, so he couldn't help but thank him with a smile, and let the little eunuch who accompanied him hug the things, and then he got in the car and left.

Sending Liu Jin away, Xu Xun pondered his words of reminder, and couldn't help but go straight back to the study thoughtfully for a while. After sitting for a while, he ordered someone to summon Jin Liu, and asked bluntly: "I heard that Mrs. Shouning Hou believes in Buddhism?" ”

Jin Liu is an idle surname, and he usually likes to inquire about the news of various families in Jinling, so this kind of news that does not involve major affairs of the imperial court, Xu Xun naturally thought of asking him. Sure enough, Jin Liu did not disappoint him, and immediately nodded in response: "The young master is right, Mrs. Shouninghou's belief in Buddhism is famous all over the capital. She is not like others who only believe in one family, but each family is wet with rain and dew, even those who are famous in the capital but do not enter the Taoist Buddha, she often calls to meet, but she does not hesitate to spend money at all. It is said that every year, the Shouning Marquis Mansion will spend thousands of taels to do the Jiao business, to say the least. I heard that Shou Ninghou has also received a good errand with a lot of oil and water these days, and Mrs. Shou Ninghou is even more generous. ”

A good errand with plenty of oil and water? Thinking that Liu Jin had mentioned that Hou Shouning had intervened in the military quartermaster, Xu Xun paid attention to what he said, but he only smiled and nodded: "I see." ”

After asking about this stubble, Xu Xun asked some inside information, but asked Jin Liu about the other nobles, and saw that he classified those hearsay gossip into categories, and he actually said the truth, he couldn't help but smile, and after a pause, he asked again: "It is said that this time your brother and sister-in-law followed Tao Hong into Beijing?" ”

Jin Liu didn't want Xu Xun to ask about this, so after being stunned for a while, he nodded: "There is such a thing, I said that I wanted to succeed one, but they insisted that they didn't know my preferences, so they brought all my nephews." I also know that they are watching me follow the good master's house, and they can't help but have the intention of clinging...... I have warned them, let them rent a house in the neighborhood and give them the capital to open a small shop selling oil. ”

Seeing that Jin Liu's answer was slippery, Xu Xun knew that he had been bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, so he was afraid that something would go wrong and he would be kicked out, so he didn't care about himself, so he asked Jin Liu to pick a child to enter the house, and explained a few words, but told him to go out and prepare the car and wait at the side door. After sorting out the gossip about the Shouning Marquis Mansion that he had just obtained in his mind, he quickly had some calculations in his heart. So, he went back to the room to change his outfit, took Ah Bao and went straight to the side door of the house.

Jin Liuqing knew that Xu Xun would not ask him about the noble deeds in Beijing for no reason, and he must have some secret things to call him at this time, so he dressed up extremely plainly, not to mention, and was afraid that others would recognize him, so he buckled a big hat on his head. After getting into the car with Xu Xun, he heard Xu Xun report an address that still had a vague impression, and he immediately realized that he didn't say a word on the way, and when he arrived at the ground, he parked the carriage in an alley where few people passed. Seeing Ah Bao get out of the car and hurriedly go out, after a while, he brought a middle-aged man with a cautious face to come over, although Jin Liu didn't look up, he still glanced at people out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly remembered the conversation when Xu Xun came to find this person last time.

This seems to be the confidant of the eunuch Li Rong, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and last time Xu Xun had made people pay attention to the selection of the concubine!

Jin Liu, an outsider, was beating wildly in his heart at this moment, and when Du Jin got in the car, not to mention the uneasiness. Although Xu Xun only lightly asked him how he chose the three hundred out of the thousands of people before, where most of the people selected were from, and what their family background was, he was sweating from these extremely simple questions. When Xu Xun finally asked a word, his face turned even whiter.

"Gonggong Li often asks you to go to the Shouning Marquis Mansion to run errands these days, what is the purpose of the matter?"

If Xu Xun asked this as soon as he opened his mouth, Du Jin would inevitably give a perfunctory reason, but at this moment, Xu Xun suddenly went straight to the point after those trivial questions, but he only felt a panic in his heart. Under that sharp gaze, thinking about Li Rong's current old state Longzhong, and then thinking about Xu Xun's ability to make himself suffer a dumb loss when he was born a calf at the Linqing Banknote Pass, and now he is even more powerful, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

"Grandpa Li is asking me to ...... Gonggong Li is to let the little Xunshou Ninghou say that if he can set up a queen who is dedicated to the Zhang family, he can at least ensure that the Zhang family will be rich for another 20 years. ”

It turned out that Li Rong knew that it was impossible to please Zhu Houzhao, so he came up with this idea!

Xu Xun's heart was bright, and he looked at Du Jin with a pleasant face and said, "Du's father-in-law, Father-in-law Li is old. You should watch more by his side, and don't let his old ancestor, who has been through several dynasties, come to an end. ”
