Chapter 187: The Four Great Families
"There are some things I probably know better than they do, but you'll have to choose wisely." Xun Ling looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who involuntarily took two steps back, and smiled, it was the first time she had seen such a cowardice.
"I want to know about the situation in neighboring countries, I can't go to people and I don't know anything, what if I offend someone, and I am beaten and killed at that time?"
It's nonsense to talk casually, and anyway, the purpose of your own going must not be exposed.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao's words made Xun Ling laugh out loud, but there was still a distress hidden under this laughter.
"Don't worry, with me, I won't let others bully you."
Xun Ling walked to Lin Xiaoxiao's side, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her.
"The political environment of the neighboring countries is relatively not so complicated, and the four major families you are worried about are not so big now to win with all their might, although there is also a certain amount of opinion, but because there is friction between them, so that the power is dispersed, and it is not so threatening to the Huang family."
"The two people who were with you just now are the people of the Mu family in the four major families, although they are not descendants, but the eldest brother of Mu Shucheng passed away two years ago, so that he will need to inherit the Mu family's business in the future. The eldest daughter you mentioned is a woman after all, and she is going to marry after all, so it is not a problem. ”
Xun Ling never believed that the people of the Mu family would be so stupid, recruiting a son-in-law to come in, and giving up the foundation that his family had worked so hard to lay to outsiders.
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he spoke, and at the same time, as the person in power, he knew that only by keeping the blood of the family could he connect with each other, and he could truly think about his own community of interests.
Lin Xiaoxiao was relieved and relieved when she heard this.
For the two brothers and sisters, she is still very optimistic, Mushucheng is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and after contact along the way, you can see that he has a brain.
Such a person takes over a family, if not to make it stronger, at least not to make it decadent.
"The other three families are the Zheng family, the Wang family and the Shangguan family."
"The situation of these three families is not as clear as that of the Mu family, they have many children in their families, and they have their own side lines, and the struggle is always ongoing, so their children may be more vigilant if you come into contact with them."
Xun Ling didn't want Lin Xiaoxiao to be too involved with these people, no matter what, they all had a purpose of exploitation. Lin Xiaoxiao's identity is a cash cow wherever it is placed, so once it is involved in them, it will be difficult to get out.
"Don't worry, I know, I don't have that many thoughts on them. It's just that I happened to come across and want to know more, so in addition to the four major families, what else needs to be paid attention to? ”
For this distant country, she hopes to know as much as possible, and it is only one step away from going to this country, leaving Jincheng and entering the territory of a neighboring country.
So it's better to prepare early.
The things she had seen in the Cangzhou Chronicles before were only theoretical, and the knowledge in the books could not be fully trusted.
Therefore, it is most practical to learn from people who have had experience before.
"You're just going out to have fun, why do you care so much about so many things to pay attention to, and these people aren't something you can usually see casually, so you don't have to care so much."
Xun Ling didn't understand why Lin Xiaoxiao had been learning about the upper echelons of neighboring countries. He always felt that something was strange, and he couldn't say it.
"It's always a good idea to know a little more, and in the end we're going to go to our neighbors to see what they want. Aren't there any nobles in Kyoto? There are so many nobles, what if they collide with anyone? ”
Lin Xiaoxiao took everything for granted, so that Xun Ling had no way to refute it.
"Since you want to know, then I will tell you that the emperor of the neighboring country has four sons and two daughters. Two of the four sons are adults and are now competing for storage places, and the other two are too young to be involved in these for the time being. ”
"As for his two daughters, among them, his favorite is Lin Qingyue, you also know this person, and he is also very familiar with it, so I won't talk about it."
"The other daughter was born to a palace maid, and although she was very beautiful, she was not favored."
"In addition, the two adult princes are now also in the court and are fighting against each other, so the chain of interests between these people is still very complicated."
Xun Ling himself is also a prince, although he is a concubine, but the emperor does not have a son-in-law, so although his identity is not so far-reaching, he is also the best candidate for the heir to the throne.
Now he is talking about it here, and it is all about experience, and he has only been to neighboring countries twice, and he doesn't know much about it, but because the two countries are very close to each other. Therefore, they are very concerned about the dynamics of each other's courts.
Even in the imperial capital of another country, he can still clearly know what is happening in the other country.
"This time I want to go to a neighboring country, in fact, there are two purposes, the queen mother of the neighboring country, it will be her birthday in a few days, and it happens to be her sixtieth birthday, so the banquet Quartet wants to hold a big one. In addition, there is also a purpose to visit Princess Shu'an, who married a neighboring country last year. ”
Princess Shu'an is the youngest sister of the current emperor, and she married the neighboring King Xiaoyao last year, which can be regarded as a peace between the two countries and promotes friendly relations between the two countries.
This time, they also hope that the other country can pay attention to the princess of their own country, and not let her be bullied, they can support her.
"I see, I don't know when the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is?"
"Seven days later, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, do you want to attend together, after all, you are also the county lord of our country, and if you go together, it will be considered insomnia today, seeing that you are so curious about there, you just have this opportunity, if you change to another time, you will definitely not be able to enter the palace."
Xun Ling could feel that the person next to him was very curious about those things. That's why I put forward such an opinion, I want to go together, and now the relationship between the two people is originally an unmarried couple, so that people in neighboring countries know that it can be regarded as a real matter.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think about it that much, but when she heard this proposal, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to meet the royal family of her neighboring country.
