It's not that there are no princes in this dynasty to participate in politics, but they are all prepared to be cultivated as princes.

When the eldest prince went to the Criminal Department to observe the government, it was unusual.

What's more, it was Chen Luo.

made Chen Luo also become a person who attracted the attention of thousands of people.

"Piggybacking on Lord Chen," Wang Xi said solemnly, "What kind of 'piggyback' method?" Is it to be the subordinate of the great prince? Or was he also sent to the Criminal Department by the emperor? ”

People like Wang Xi, before coming to see the owner, they have done their homework in advance about everything that the owner may ask, and even if they can't answer all the questions, they can answer seven or eight times out of ten. Chen Luo's affairs, he also knew the power, and said busily: "The emperor asked Lord Chen to be the assistant of the eldest prince, and went to the criminal department to watch the government together." But the matter of the guard was not lost, so that now Lord Chen has to accompany the eldest prince to the criminal department every morning, and he has to rush to Teng Xiangwei after lunch, and he is very busy. ”

Wang Xi frowned and said, "Then Lord Chen not only asked you to tell me that he accompanied the eldest prince to the Criminal Department to observe the government, but also asked you to bring other words. ”

Wang Xi thought for a while and said, "At that time, he was talking to me, and when someone came out, he sighed, 'Your cook's skills are really good', and he was dragged away." The rest, not saying anything. ”

Wang Xi understood in his heart and said, "Okay! I'll go to Jiang Chuanbo's house as a guest, you go to the big shopkeeper and ask him to help me find a few rangers, don't care about the silver, I will be of great use. ”

How did you get to the point where you want to find a ranger?

Wang Xi muttered in his heart, watching Wang Xi rush out, he didn't want to ask too much, so he answered and went to the big shopkeeper.

Wang Xi got on the sedan chair with a heavy heart.

Chen Luo never said anything in the past, but now he wants to meet with her to discuss the affairs of the eldest prince, and he has to make such a specious hint, which shows that his situation is very bad. The matter of the ranger is urgent, and there is also Mi Niangzi, and I have to find a way to contact more people before anyone can find out.

She thought about it all the way, and she didn't know when she arrived at Jiangchuan Bofu.

Mrs. Jiang Chuan really likes Wang Xi, a beautiful and intelligent little girl, and took the candied fruit for her to eat with a smile, and said: "Our family Ah Ling said that you can eat it, this is the candied fruit from Hunan, what is the difference between you and the capital?" ”

The candied fruit here in the capital is pickled in sugar, and the candied fruit in Hunan is wrapped in sugar, one is pickled inside, and the other is wrapped outside, each with its own deliciousness.

Wang Xi was full of praise for the winter melon strips.

Mrs. Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Your taste is the same as that of the eldest princess." She also likes to eat the candied winter melon strips sent from Hunan. Wait, I'll have someone pack some for you. ”

As for the gift sent by Wang Xi on behalf of Mrs. Marquis of Yongcheng, Mrs. Jiang Chuan didn't believe that it was given by Mrs. Marquis of Yongcheng at all, she knew this Mrs. Tai too well, she didn't say anything, she didn't know much about people, and no one reminded her, so it was unlikely that she could afford to think of these people's exchanges.

She counted the gift on Wang Xi's head, and felt more and more that she had to tell Wang Xi a good family matter, so she pulled her and asked about the Wang family. When Lu Ling knew that Wang Xi was coming, Mrs. Jiang Chuan was wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Lu Ling was confused and said, "What's the matter?" But for a while, why are you in tears? It must have been Sister Wang's story, and my grandmother was very sympathetic when she heard it. ”

Mrs. Jiang Chuan glared at Lu Ling with a sneer, and did not answer her words, but said, "Why did you come here now?" Didn't you praise your sister Wang's mooncakes when she ate them, and you want to thank her personally? How come you don't say a word when you see people? ”

Lu Ling knew that her grandmother was unwilling to tell her, guessing that it was mostly related to Wang Xi's private affairs, so she didn't ask, and followed Mrs. Jiang Chuan's words: "It's not you yet?" I have to send a few mooncakes to the palace, otherwise how can I alarm Sister Wang. ”

Mrs. Jiang Chuan said to Wang Xi a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Concubine Jiang is not very comfortable these days, I, I'm thinking about my old sister, I can't just watch it like this, at her age, I don't like anything anymore, I just like to eat snacks and the like, so I hit your idea." ”

Wang Xi thought that Concubine Jiang was probably using her as a raft for the emperor, and at her birthday banquet, she revealed that she wanted to make the eldest prince the crown prince, which made the old lady have a pimple in her heart.

She actually wanted to ask carefully what happened at that time, and what Mrs. Jiang Chuan had heard, but she thought about whether she and Jiang Chuan Bofu had a deep relationship, but she still held back and said with a smile: "The old man is like this at this age. My grandfather and grandmother were also very fond of good food. It just so happened that some of the fillings I gave you included what my grandfather and grandmother liked to eat, and they happened to be dedicated to Concubine Jiang, all of which were easy to restrain and suitable for her old people. ”

Since it is a moon cake made for Concubine Jiang, it will definitely not be sloppy.

When the recipe for those fillings was in her hand, Mrs. Jiang Chuan read them carefully, and naturally knew that these fillings were suitable for the elderly.

She just likes Wang Xi's ingenuity, the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she becomes, and she naturally speaks with a little sincerity. Hearing this, she let out a long sigh and said, "She can't help it, her biological mother is old, she has to rely on her children to live, and she has to look at the faces of her children, not to mention that she is just a concubine." The emperor gave her face, she was a concubine, and if she didn't give her face, she would be nothing. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and no one has a hard time! ”

Lu Ling saw that her grandmother was defenseless against Wang Xi, and she was even more defenseless against Wang Xi. She comforted her grandmother and said, "Although our family has the least number of people, our family has the least affairs. It's better to be in our house! ”

Who knew that Mrs. Jiang Chuan listened to it, but she looked like she wanted to say something.

Wang Xi was secretly surprised, but Lu Ling wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask, but fortunately, Mrs. Tai quickly changed the topic and said with a smile: "Our business is the least, when your brother marries his sister-in-law, I will hand over the affairs of the family to your sister-in-law, it will be more comfortable." ”

Lu Ling was surprised and said, "Has my brother's marriage with the Tan family been decided?" ”

"Your dad said it's good, that's no problem." Mrs. Jiang Chuan smiled, "It should be a few days before the media is hired." ”

The Tan family? Is it the Tan family she knows?

Wang Xi couldn't hold back and said with a smile: "Is it Miss Tan Si's house?" ”

Lu Ling nodded and said with a smile: "It's the cousin of Fourth Sister Tan and the fifth lady of their family." said that she was a younger sister, but in fact she was only two days younger than Fourth Sister Tan. We used to play together, but her mother was very strict with her, and I haven't seen her come out to socialize much in the past few years. ”

Wang Xi smiled: "Then do they have any marriageable girls in their family?" ”

"Probably not, right?" Lu Ling said with a smile, "The sixth miss of their family is only six years old this year, and the third miss is engaged to the sixth son of the Duke of Wei. The eldest lady and the second lady are already married. ”

Chen Ying's daughter-in-law lost one of them.

Wang Xi gloated a little.

It depends on whether Chen Ying and Miss Xiangyang Hou Wu have fate.

She thought of the fifth miss of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion hiding from the Yan family, and felt that the fifth miss was not without ideas, Chen Ying wanted to marry her, but I was afraid that it would not be so easy.

*

Returning from Jiangchuan Bofu, Wang Xi went to greet Mrs. Tai first.

Mrs. Tai didn't see her, saying that the Marquis of Yongcheng came over and was talking to Mrs. Tai in the house, and even Mama Shi was sent out.

She said apologetically to Wang Xi: "Miss Cousin has been here, and I will tell Mrs. Tai when the Hou Ye comes out." Miss Cousin might as well go back to the room to change her clothes first, and when Mrs. Tai is free here, I will send someone to tell you immediately. ”

Wang Xi returned to Liuyin Garden full of doubts, and saw that the old hen soup was still stewed on the stove in the kitchen, and told the cook: "Keep the soup below to eat." ”

Chen Luo will definitely come to her tonight, she is so busy, most of the time she eats sloppily, she can drink some soup and water, and she can also nourish and nourish.

The cook on the stove smiled and answered.

Chen Luo didn't come over until the sun went down.

He was covered with exhaustion.

Wang Xi didn't say anything, and first brought him a bowl of chicken soup noodles made of new wheat.

Chen Luo didn't say a word, and ate the noodles in one go, and then he felt that he was alive, and sat down on the Taishi chair under the grape trellis and didn't want to move.

Wang Xi wanted to pull him up and walk around twice, but seeing his comfortable look, his mind turned and gave up.

Forget it, he usually practices riding and shooting, and he doesn't lack this time and a half, let him rest for a while.

Wang Xi was idle, so he soaked white peonies to entertain Chen Luo, but the refreshments were exchanged for the Hunan candied fruit sent by Mrs. Jiangchuan.

Chen Luo poured his eyes sharply and said, "When did you buy Hunan candied fruit?" Don't you like to eat things that are too sweet? ”

"How do you know?" Wang Xi was surprised.

Chen Luo said a few words vaguely, and then talked about the refreshments: "This frosted water, I'm afraid I have to drink a lot of tea, right?" You're afraid that half of my belly of chicken soup hasn't been filled yet! ”

Wang Xi frowned and said, "Didn't I hear Mrs. Jiang Chuan say that the eldest princess likes to eat such candied fruits?" I didn't expect you to appreciate it! ”

Chen Luo was stunned and said, "What did you say?" Mrs. Egawa sent you? She said my mother liked such preserves? ”

"That's right!" Wang Xi said uneasily, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Chen Luo picked up a piece of candied fruit with winter melon strips and didn't speak for a long time.

Wang Xi said unhappily: "What do you want to say?" Don't say that half of it is hidden and half of it, ordinary words can make you scratch your heart and lungs, which makes people uncomfortable. ”

"I was just a little surprised." Chen Luo said, but he could still see that there was something on his mind between his eyebrows, Wang Xi secretly remembered it in his heart, thinking that he would figure it out one day, and the matter of the eldest prince was more important at this time, so let's figure it out later.

She poured Chen Luo a cup of tea and said, "Say it!" What are you looking for me? I can't even speak clearly, so it can be seen that there are people around you who you don't trust but have to stay around. Is it the emperor's man or someone else's? ”

Chen Luo's face was wooden, and he felt that it was not a good thing that Wang Xi was too smart, and it was difficult for him to hide anything from her.

"Sent by the emperor." He said, "It's about gentlemen not standing under dangerous walls, but in fact, they are all transferred from Datong, and I'm not familiar with them, let alone the prince." I feel like it's not so much protecting us as it is spying on us. ”
