"Right, right, right a little higher...... Su Xin, talk about you! ”

Standing in front of the gate of Li Shou's Anle Palace, Xie An commanded Su Xin and Li Jing to replace the plaque for Li Shou's palace.

Because in the Fangcai Wu Dynasty, Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has crowned Li Shou as [King Anping], don't look at the difference between [King Anping] and [King Anle] is only one word, but the meaning is like a world of difference.

Rao is Li Shou has always been steady on weekdays, and he can't help but be a little excited at this moment, his lips trembled slightly, and he looked at the four gilded characters of the Anping Mansion on the plaque, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Although this plaque was given by Xie An's teacher, Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it was given to Li Shou in the name of Xie An, it is not difficult to guess that it is from the handwriting of Yin Gong.

"Well, it's almost, so be it!" After a long time, Xie An nodded and beckoned Li Jing and Su Xin on the wooden frame to come down.

At this time, Fei Guo, who had already been informed by Xie An, ordered someone to light firecrackers in the brazier in front of the palace, and the crackling sound really added a bit of joy to this quiet palace in the past.

After a while, the firecrackers in the brazier burned out, and Yin Gong led his grandson Changsun Sheng, and congratulated Li Shou with a smile, behind him, that was Yin Gong's most proud student, Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the only son of Yin Gong, that is, the biological father of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Sun Jing, the head of the military department.

"Congratulations to the prince!"

At that time, Li Shouzheng looked at the plaque with a complicated expression, heard the sound of congratulations and came back to his senses, and saw that it was Yingong congratulating him, he couldn't help but be a little flattered, and said in a loud voice, "I was tired of Yingong personally congratulating, Xiao Wang was terrified...... Xiao Wang has prepared thin wine in the mansion, and hopes that Duke Yin, Ruan Shangshu and the eldest grandson will not be disgusted! ”

"Hehehe, how dare you ......" Yin smiled openly, nodded, turned his head, and glanced at his son Changsun Jing, but saw that Changsun Jing was looking at his granddaughter Changsun Xiangyu who was laughing and talking to Liang Qiu in the distance with a faint anger on his face, coughed, and scolded softly, "Jing'er! ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Jing raised his head, glanced at his father, as if he had received some warning, nodded, flicked his sleeves, and took the lead in entering the palace.

Looking at the back of his son's departure, Yin Gong sighed and shook his head, and was about to speak, but saw his grandson eldest Sun Sheng looking directly at his sister Changsun Xiangyu, his heart moved, touched his beloved grandson's head, and said with a chuckle, "Sheng'er, the people who sit at the same table with your grandfather are all your father and uncle, and they are even boring, so it's better for you to go and sit with your sister later......"

Changsun Sheng obviously has also experienced a lot of banquets with Yingong, and he can't help but feel a little moved when he hears this, but after glancing at the direction of Changsun Xiangyu, his little face showed a little hesitation, and after thinking about it, he said timidly, "Grandpa, my sister doesn't like her grandson to follow ......."

Yin Gong laughed when he heard this, squatted down, stroked his beloved grandson's head, and said softly, "Sheng'er, don't you really admire your sister for being able to capture Luoyang with such a clever plan?" Don't want to ask her for advice? ”

"I want to ......" Changsun Sheng nodded honestly, and then said with some grievances, "But my sister hates me, she will definitely drive me away......"

Seeing this, Yin Gong smiled slightly, blinked and said, "Then think of a way to make your sister have to keep you by your side...... Think of it as your homework for the day! - Let's go! ”

"Hmm!" Changsun Sheng nodded, and ran towards Changsun Xiangyu.

Looking at the back of this little guy who was only eleven or twelve years old leaving, Ruan Shaozhou couldn't help but say, "Master, the little boy is cowardly, I'm afraid ......."

"Alas, the old man knows ......" Duke Yin sighed, shook his head and said, "In the old man's opinion, Xiangyu is the best heir of the eldest grandson's family, but she is a daughter after all, and she will marry someone else's wife in the future......" Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and whispered to Ruan Shaozhou, "Shaozhou, you will pay attention to the old man's unsuccessful son later, today is the day of the celebration of His Royal Highness the Nineth, and the old man doesn't want to see him make any trouble!" ”

Glancing at the eldest grandson Xiangyu who was standing with Liang Qiuwu in the distance, Ruan Shaozhou understood and said in a low voice, "Yes, Master!" - The students will look at Brother Zikang! ”

Yin Gong nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to look at Li Shou, and said apologetically, "Some housework, let His Highness wait for a long time......

"Where, where, Yin Gong's words are serious!" Li Shouru smiled elegantly, in fact, he had been standing here all along, but he saw that Duke Yin had to deal with some housework, so it was inconvenient to interject, as the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the affairs of the eldest grandson's family, he also knows some of it, for example, the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

"Yin Gong, please!"

"So, forgive the old man for bothering me! - Please! ”

"Yin Gong is serious...... Ruan Shangshu please! Summoned Xie An and asked him to preside over the etiquette of welcoming the guests in front of the mansion on his behalf, Li Shou personally welcomed Yin Gong and Ruan Shaozhou into the mansion, after all, among these guests, only Yin Gong was the most noble.

Here, Xie An was laughing with Fei Guo, Li Jing, Su Xin, Zhang Dong, Tang Hao, Liao Li and other generals in front of the palace, and suddenly heard Li Shou calling himself, and he understood and laughed at the generals, "Okay, don't laugh for the time being, you wait and enter the mansion first, and I'll get drunk today!" ”

Hearing this, the generals hugged their fists and smiled all over their faces, but Fei Guo showed a little embarrassment, and said hesitantly, "My lord, I still have some affairs in the general, and it is inconvenient to ......stay for a long time."

Where did Xie An not understand that Fei Guo was going to report to the crown prince Li Wei, after all, he was a detailed work placed by the Taiping army on the side of the crown prince Li Wei, but Xie An attached great importance to this person's martial arts and identity, and planned to poach him from the side of the prince Li Wei.

Some people may think that Xie An is digging his own grave, after all, Fei Guo is a meticulous work of the Taiping Army, how can there be a reason to take the initiative to lure wolves into the room, but as the eldest grandson Xiangyu said, Fei Guo is a talent, not to mention what will happen in the future, at least in the current matter of dealing with the crown prince Li Wei, Fei Guo can be used, after all, Fei Guo's martial arts, even Liang Qiu Wu secretly tested him and was secretly surprised.

"Fei Guo, so faceless?" Putting on a stinky face, Xie An said without refuting it, "Although today is to congratulate His Royal Highness the Nine, this is also a wedding banquet for you and others, and you are also a great hero of this battle, leaving halfway, is this like words?" - Without further ado, today the official will pour you and others down one by one! As he spoke, he glanced at Li Jing, Su Xin, and Tang Hao.

These three generals were all Xie An's stomach, and when they heard the words, they immediately grabbed Fei Guo, and Fei Guo was not allowed to leave, so they dragged him into the palace, leaving only Liao Li to guard Xie An, just in case anything happened.

How did Fei Guo know that Xie An [uneasy and kind] was dragged into the palace by a group of colleagues with a wry smile, after all, in the final analysis, he was a member of the Taiping Army, and he had no loyalty to the crown prince Li Wei.

Liao Li, who seemed to be steady, saw a little clue, and after Fei Guo and the others left, he lowered his voice and said, "Isn't my lord already understanding the details of Fei Guo?" ”

Xie An smiled slightly, patted Liao Li on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "The official can't tell you about the specific matter for the time being, but ...... General Fei Guo is harmless with us for the time being! - Don't make him suspicious! ”

Although Liao Li looks like a rough person, but in fact, his mind is very thorough, you know, he is the first person to see that Fei Guo is wrong, hearing Xie An's words, Liao Li nodded, and said in a low voice, "In this way, adults need to be on guard at all times......

Xie An smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Fei Guo is a smart person, he won't do anything stupid!" ”

He knew that since the news spread that the Son of Heaven Li Ji wanted to pardon the rebel generals and sentenced them to crimes, it seems that Zhang Dong, Ou Peng, Tang Hao, and Liao Li rebels have secretly regarded him Xie An as a life-saving benefactor, just like Liao Li, loyal to him Xie An, on the other hand, Xie An is also ready to start with these people and establish his own team, so as to plan for Li Shou to be in the battle for the heir in the future.

As the two were talking, Xie An suddenly felt as if there was a line of sight behind him looking directly at him, and turned around inexplicably, only to be stunned to find that there was a child who seemed to be eleven or twelve years old standing behind him.

Hey, this little guy is so familiar......

Xie An showed a little surprise on his face, and looked up and down at the child's valuable clothes.

And at this moment, the boy arched his hand, saluted Xie An decently, and said softly, "In Xia Changsun Sheng, I have seen Xie Shaoqing!" ”

Xie An suddenly realized when he heard this, and he remembered that this child was clearly the child next to Fang Cai Yingong, in other words, this son was the grandson of Yingong, the younger brother of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and the eldest grandson Sheng.

"Hey!" With a somewhat narrow look in his eyes, Xie An rubbed Changsun Sheng's hair and said with a smile, "What's the matter, little guy?" ――Are you separated from Yingong? ”

Hearing this, Eldest Sun Sheng shook his head and said very seriously, "The kid is not separated from his grandfather, but he is just ...... Just wanted to ask Lord Xie for a favor! As he spoke, he told Xie An everything Fang Cai Yingong said to him.

Xie An was stunned when he heard this, a little inexplicable, and said, "This...... How can I help you? ”

I saw that the eldest grandson Sheng arched his hand and said seriously, "Grandpa said that Lord Xie is the only person that my sister values, if Lord Xie helps the kid speak, my sister will naturally not drive the kid away......" As he spoke, he looked at Xie An expectantly.

This kid can!

Only in his teens, he could think of using his influence over his sister, the eldest grandson, Xiangyu......

is worthy of being the grandson of Yingong, and worthy of being the younger brother of the eldest grandson Xiangyu!

Thinking of this, Xie An's eyes were even more narrow, and he deliberately said, "Can you give me any benefits?" - No good, I won't help you! ”

Changsun Sheng shook his head, then lowered his head in disappointment.

Looking at his look, Xie An couldn't help but smile, rubbed Changsun Sheng's hair, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, just kidding you...... By the way, I have a good relationship with your grandfather and your sister, you don't need to be so restrained, just call Brother Xie! ”

“

That...... Will Brother Xie help me? Changsun Sheng asked timidly.

"I'm just thanking you, big brother...... Help! Xie An smiled slightly.

It's no wonder, after all, since he arrived in Jijing, among the people Xie An has met, he is the youngest, even Liang Qiuwu, who is the same age as him, is about three months older than him, not to mention Li Shou, Yiyi, eldest grandson Xiangyu, and even Jin Ling'er, who is more than four years older than him, which makes Xie An feel a little depressed.

And now, there is suddenly a little guy who is several years younger than him, which makes Xie An feel quite angry.

"Ann!"

With a familiar call, Liang Qiuwu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu walked over.

Xie An clearly noticed that when Eldest Sun Xiangyu found Eldest Sun Sheng beside him, her face showed some obvious displeasure.

"What are you doing here?!" Looking directly at Changsun Sheng, Changsun Xiangyu asked dishappily.

A trace of fear flashed in Changsun Sheng's eyes, he hid behind Xie An, grabbed Xie An's clothes, poked his head out, looked at Changsun Xiangyu timidly, and said in a low voice, "Sister...... Sister, I want to sit at the same table with my sister......"

Eldest Sun Xiangyu frowned when he heard this, and scolded mercilessly, "Go back!" - Find grandpa! ”

A little disappointment flashed on Changsun Sheng's face, and he glanced up at Xie An, with a little pleading in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xie An touched his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't be afraid, Brother Xie will support you!" - You follow General Liao in first, and Brother Xie will let you sit at the same table with your sister later! ”

"You!" Eldest Sun Xiangyu was a little displeased when he heard this, looked at Xie An, and said coldly, "Xie An, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's not interesting," Xie An shrugged his shoulders and said with a grin, "What do you think about currying favor with my brother-in-law?" ”

Eldest Sun Xiangyu was stunned when he heard this, then his face turned red, and he glared at Xie An and Changsun Sheng hatefully, but he didn't say anything more.

It may be the first time to see his sister deflated, and Changsun Sheng's eyes widened in disbelief, which made Changsun Xiangyu feel more and more displeased.

As if he had seen through the mind of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An touched the head of the eldest grandson and said with a smile, "Boy, enter the mansion with General Liao first, otherwise, your sister will go crazy!" - Liao Li! ”

"Yes!" Liao Li hugged his fists and led Changsun Sheng into the palace.

Seeing that Changsun Sheng didn't forget to salute himself and the others before leaving, Liang Qiuwu's eyes showed a little surprise, nodded approvingly, and then said in a low voice, "Xiangyu, why bother him so much?" - Know that your birth mother has nothing to do with him......"

The eldest grandson Xiangyu snorted coldly, glanced at Xie An, showed a look of [I will make you look good later], and said coldly, "Interfering in his family's housework, are you really idle?!" ”

As soon as he heard the tone of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An knew that this woman was really a little angry, walked a few steps closer, and said flatteringly, "How can it be his family's housework?" - That's my brother-in-law! ”

Eldest Sun Xiangyu's cheeks turned crimson when he heard this, and he glanced at Xie An angrily and funny, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, and Zhanyan giggled, "By the way, speaking of which, Brother An just got a batch of huge rewards in the Wu Dynasty, right?" ”

As early as when she showed that familiar smile, Xie An had vaguely felt that something was wrong, and now when he heard her words, his heart was even more uneasy, and he said, "What a huge reward, it's just 500,000......"

"And five thousand taels of gold!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu picked up the conversation and said with a smile, "Brother An hasn't forgotten, has he?" Brother An once promised the slave family to build a folding fan for the slave family, using the best jade and the best craftsmen...... At that time, Brother An said that he had no spare money in his hands, and now, Brother An has received this huge reward, it is time to cash it in, right? ”

Xie An was shocked when he heard this, smiled wryly, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you get eight million taels?" ”

"So what?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu blinked innocently and said, "That's someone's dowry, Brother An also saw it, and people fell out with the family for you......"

What made a fall out for me?

You had long planned to leave the eldest grandson's house, right?

Xie Anxin secretly buried it, but he didn't dare to say it, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll ask the craftsman to supervise the construction tomorrow...... Promise, no! ――Are you satisfied? ”

"Well, satisfied!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled, pulled his slender hand and said, "The slave family calculated, such a folding fan will cost almost 200,000 taels of silver, and in this way, Brother An still has 300,000 taels left, oh, and 5,000 taels of gold...... What does Brother An plan to do with this huge amount of money? ”

As soon as these words came out, even Liang Qiu Wu's face gradually became solemn, not that Liang Qiu Wu cared about that bit of silver, she was just afraid that after her husband had the silver, he would go to the kind of fireworks place that made her feel extremely unswerving, after all, Xie An had a criminal record.

"It's better like this," as if he had thought of some brilliant idea, the eldest grandson Xiangyu blinked his eyes and giggled, "With these silver, why don't Brother An buy some jewelry and clothes for me?" - Sister Dance, my sister took a fancy to some jewelry in a gold shop in Jijing earlier, but she had no money to buy it, so she could only sigh secretly, there are many of them, and my sister thinks it is very suitable for Sister Dance! ――Sister Mai, what do you think? ”

"Jewelry or something...... Liang Qiuwu bit her lip, although she never liked to dress up, but when she thought that it was a gift from Xie An, she felt a little excited, and frequently looked at Xie An with her eyes.

She thought that she was very hidden, but Xie An's understanding of her, where would she not understand, she glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "Do you want to do it so absolutely?" ”

"You brought it on yourself!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu smiled proudly, and then deliberately said, "Oh, Sister Wu, Brother An is not willing to ......"

Looking at the obvious disappointment in Liang Qiuwu's eyes, Xie An glared at the eldest grandson Xiangyu angrily, and said angrily, "Okay, okay, hurry up and call Yiyi, I'll go to the gold shop in your mouth together!" ”

"When's the time?"

"Tomorrow, satisfied?!"

"Giggles......" The eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled, and glanced at Liang Qiuwu, who was thrilled by this.

Looking at the joy in the eyes of the second daughter, Xie An hated itchy.

Perhaps, all women don't want their husbands to have too much money in their pockets, although it was provoked by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but on the other hand, isn't this what Liang Qiuwu wants to see? She didn't want to carry a knife and go to that kind of fireworks place to find her husband again, that kind of humiliating thing was enough to make Liang Qiu Dance unforgettable.

To put it bluntly, the less money Xie An has in his pocket, the more he makes Liang Qiu Wu feel at ease, no, a few months ago, Xie An received a monthly salary of 800 taels and went back and forth between the Great Prison Temple and the Donggong Mansion every day, which really made Liang Qiu Wu feel great peace of mind.

Of course, they were at ease, but Xie An was not very comfortable, thinking that he had finally obtained such a huge fortune, but he had to spit it out honestly, he sighed secretly in his heart.

As if seeing through Xie An's thoughts, the eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled and said in his ear, "Don't worry, people will let you leave a ...... of a few thousand taels of silver."

500,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels of gold, you only plan to leave me a few thousand taels?

Xie Anxin was angry, and said with a stiff expression, "That's really thank you!" ”

"What? Don't? That ......"

"Yes!" Company Commander Sun Xiangyu's expression was different, Xie An quickly interrupted her words, and then wiped her cold sweat as if afraid.

Suddenly, he saw three carriages coming from the side of the street, judging by the luxurious decoration of the carriages, most of them were the three princes headed by Li Shen.

Seeing this, Xie An informed the second daughter of the amnesty, and even ran to greet the three princes, because he realized that if he stayed here, he might not even be able to keep the thousands of taels of silver.

Looking at Xie An's back as he left in a cold sweat, the eldest grandson Xiangyu's eyes showed a little smugness, and he snorted lightly, "Call you troublesome!" ”

Liang Qiuwu glanced at Changsun Xiangyu when she heard this, she knew that Changsun Xiangyu was referring to the matter of Changsun Sheng, and because of the housework of other people's houses, she didn't want to intervene too much, just looked at Xie An in the distance, and said a little unbearably, "Xiangyu, is this good?" It's not easy to get those rewards, and I always feel that this is not the way to be a wife......"

Seeing Liang Qiuwu's hesitation, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said in a low voice, "Since we met, Sister Wu hasn't received half of his gift, right?" ”

"That's the way it is, it's just ......"

Sister Wu also knows that although he claims to regard money as his life, but in fact? But it is a lot of money...... And it's better to go to that kind of place, and to be on guard at all times, it's better to prevent this from happening at the root! ”

Thinking of the shame that he had personally gone to the Qinglou to bring Xie An back to his house, Liang Qiuwu nodded unconsciously, thinking deeply.

Suddenly, Liang Qiuwu's face changed, and he subconsciously turned his head and looked at the corner of the street with a solemn face.

"What's wrong, Sister Mai?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu asked inexplicably.

I saw Liang Qiuwu staring at the corner in the distance with a solemn face, slowly shook his head, and muttered, "It's nothing...... Maybe I'm wrong......"

"What did you see wrong?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu asked suspiciously.

"......" Liang Qiu Wu shook his head.

At the same time, at the corner of that street, in the corner where Liang Qiuwu and Changsun Xiangyu were out of sight, Chen Beizheng, the culprit who had blocked the Western Expedition of the Zhou Army against the Chang'an rebels for the second time, was standing there, his face full of suspicion, looking down and thinking about something.

"Liang Qiu's family...... Is it? ”

With a muttering voice, Chen Bei's face showed a faint look of pain, covered his forehead, shook his head, and disappeared into an alley after glancing at the pedestrians on the street.
