Chapter 221: Don't Say What You Should Not Say
The crown prince was stunned by Xiao Zhi's words, his father is still testing him now?
"The minister's words can only be said here, and in the end, it is up to His Highness to decide." Xiao Zhi said, some things don't work if they are said, and the emperor has worked hard in order not to raise a puppet emperor in the future, but if he is under a little pressure, he will not think for himself, such an emperor might as well die.
Xiao Zhi hurriedly left the palace, and the news of his visit naturally couldn't escape the emperor's ears.
"That kid from the Xiao family is loyal, this kid is very shrewd, I hope he won't say anything that shouldn't be said!" The emperor said.
Zhao Zhen listened to it, and he didn't dare to interject, and after serving the tea, he was silent, thinking that the emperor had already made up his mind a long time ago.
Xiao Zhi returned to the house, and many people came to the door, all of them wanted to explore the situation on the prince's side, but they were all blocked by the Xiao family and couldn't see it. Soon, there were rumors in Kyoto City that the Xiao family might be involved by the crown prince and would soon fall again.
In this regard, the Xiao family only listened to the bird's call, and did not take it to heart at all. Should Xiao Zhi go to the Yamen or go to the Yamen, and Xi Hongdou should do business or do business.
Mrs. Xiao drank tea slowly at home and said, "It's not the first time this has happened to our Xiao family, it's not that good, what's the hurry?" "The last time people were in prison to be beheaded, she had never seen anything in the world, and now these are just sprinkling water!
Mama Liu asked the two nurses to come over with the child, and Mrs. Xiao looked at her grandson, her face was full of joy, and she said: "The Xiao family is finally not a single pass, and there is hope for it to spread out in the future!" "Take a look at these big families in Kyoto City, which one is not a large group of people next to the main family, they are like the Xiao family, they are already so thin that they can't see it. Now Xi Hongdou's postpartum recovery is also good, coupled with the kindness and love of the little couple, it is estimated that there will be good news soon!
Xi Hongdou's side, the original lakeside resort is also preparing a plan, she thought about it, and finally decided to build a house, it doesn't need to be good, but it must have a natural atmosphere, this Kyoto city lives in a prosperous circle, whether rich or not, ordinary people or dignitaries, one counts as one, life is definitely not easy, she focuses on the theme of "decompression", which can definitely attract many people.
Now that he thought of this, Xi Hongdou moved quickly, and soon found a craftsman to build a house outside the city. She also handled the title deed outside the city easily, and then waited.
Master Xiao knew that Xi Hongdou was starting an industry outside the city, so he called Xi Hongdou to come and interrogate.
"Where are there any people on the lake outside the city, where do they go to do business, and they can't lose money?" Master Xiao felt that Xi Hongdou's little brain had always turned very fast, why did he make such an illogical question this time.
Xi Hongdou said his thoughts, and Master Xiao also felt magical, in Xi Hongdou's words, there is still an "atmosphere flow" when he eats in the hotel.
"There are few people over there, so I'm afraid of encountering robbers." Master Xiao reminded that if something happened to the business there, the official would not be able to catch up.
Xi Hongdou felt that this was indeed important, and finally remembered that he needed to recruit "security guards", which was not a difficult task.
"Dad, don't worry about this, I'll take care of it, I won't get into trouble." Xi Hongdou said that now that his business is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more people staring at him, and no matter what happens, he has to bring his husband's family with him.
Master Xiao nodded: "Be careful." ”
Xi Hongdou exhaled heavily when she left the study, Master Xiao is usually very Buddhist, but when it comes to business, the air pressure also makes her nervous.
When Xi Hongdou went to the lake outside the city to watch the progress of the project, the old man of the fishing boat watched the excitement from a distance, and Xi Hongdou went over to take a closer step to speak.
The old man thought that Xi Hongdou was joking, but the sudden start of construction by the lake a few days ago also made him wonder, and now when he sees Xi Hongdou, he also feels that the young woman in front of him is not unusual.
"Uncle, do you remember what I said last time?" Xi Hongdou asked with a smile.
The old man nodded: "Remember, I thought you were, but now that I think about it, you rich people really have so much money that you burn buns!" "This place is built in a restaurant, is it possible to entertain those fox goblins?!
Xi Hongdou smiled and said, "Do you remember what I said about letting you work with me?" ”
"What can I do? I'm too old to carry it! The old man said that he couldn't do much work if he went to the restaurant, and now the idea is to make a little money by fishing, and it would be good to subsidize the family and reduce the burden on his children.
Xi Hongdou directly found a flat stone to sit down and said, "Uncle is still fishing and helping me carry passengers on a boat." She thinks very simply, the restaurant will not only eat barbecue, when the fish is beaten, the grilled is fragrant, the stew is fresh, and tourists want to take a boat to play.
When the old man heard this, he said, "Can there be a guest here?" ”
"If I pay you monthly, you can't lose money, and do your relatives and friends do you do what you do? It's not enough to estimate the old man! Xi Hongdou said with a smile, when there are many guests, a boat will keep boating, and it will take two quarters of an hour to get this circle, and it should be possible to get three or five boats.
As soon as the old man heard that no one was giving money, he asked, "How much?" ”
Xi Hongdou said a number, the old man was tempted, to be honest, he didn't make much money fishing here, and the restaurants in the city often lowered the price, especially in winter, if he wanted to fish, he had to put a brazier on the boat to avoid freezing, and in the end there was very little money left.
"You don't lie to me about this old bone?" The old man was still a little unconvinced.
Xi Hongdou said with a smile: "Naturally, don't cheat, we can set up a paperwork, and write down how much money we give every month, as long as the old man is still doing a good job, we won't give a lot of money!" "Xi Hongdou is running for this old man's little song tune to definitely want to win over, since you want to be original, then do it thoroughly.
The old man nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's okay, but you haven't built it yet, and when you finish it, I'll come again." ”
"Okay, the old man will also help ask, and there are people who can row boats and sing fishing songs who want to earn this money, you can bring it, and I will ask for two more people!" Xi Hongdou said, she is not in a hurry, the house has not been built yet, and the rest can be prepared slowly.
On April 22, Su Huiwan's big day, Xi Hongdou got up early in the morning and acted separately from Xiao Zhi, Xi Hongdou went to Su's house first, and Xiao Zhi went directly to Han's house to wait.
There was joy at the door of Su's house, and after Xi Hongdou arrived, she was led directly to the boudoir by Lianzhu, and Su Huiwan was combing her hair and makeup at this time.
"The young grandmother of the Xiao family is here, come and comb my young lady's hair!" The grandmother who combed her hair also knew Xi Hongdou, and she also went up to comb her hair before Xi Hongdou entered the door that day.
Xi Hongdou smiled: "Me? Can I? "Combing hair is very particular, there are at least two generations in the family, the best is the four generations in the same house, where is she going!
Su Huiwan said: "Sure, I will give you a little light, and I will give birth to two sons in the future!" ”
Xi Hongdou couldn't cry or laugh, so she went to comb it twice, she was not very good at combing the bride's hair, and it was enough to symbolically draw it twice.
Seeing Su Huiwan smiling happily in the mirror, Xi Hongdou also smiled, the most important day in a woman's life is the day she gets married.
Outside, the bride came in and said that her uncle was coming to pick her up, and Su Huiwan put on a red hijab and was sent out.
Han Yushu was dressed as a groom, and he was still holding a big red flower in his hand, and when he saw the bride, he directly carried it, walked outside the door and put it on the sedan chair, and then a burst of firecrackers crackled and exploded, and Xi Hongdou followed the in-laws team to Han's house.
The Su family and the Han family are only two streets apart, and it is also convenient to go back to her parents' house to visit relatives, and when she arrives at the Han family, Xi Hongdou will go to find Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi also sat down with a large number of male guests, Xi Hongdou greeted him and sat down at the table of female guests.
There are not too many people in the Han family and the eunuchs, and the female dependents sitting at the same table are basically the female dependents within the Han family, and Xi Hongdou doesn't know anyone, so he just sits.
"Look, that boy is very handsome, I don't know if he's married!" A woman said.
Xi Hongdou followed the woman's gaze and saw Xiao Zhi, with a smile on his face, and said, "I'm already married." ”
The woman said, "Yes, that son is not an ordinary family at first glance, and he must have made a marriage contract early in the family." ”
"But why haven't you seen this person come to the house before? It shouldn't be a business business. Another woman said.
"It's not business, it's the eunuch's, it's better!"
Several women were chattering, and Xi Hongdou was also puzzled, saying that the women of the family had big rules, why didn't the others at this table restrain themselves at all?
"What nonsense are you talking about in front of the guests?" A woman's voice came from the side, and as soon as Xi Hongdou turned around, he saw a woman in a blue shirt.
Xi Hongdou found that after the blue-shirted woman finished speaking, the other women at the table all shut up and bowed their heads, and the blue-shirted sat down and said: "I know that you are a side branch, and the rules have not been practiced at home, and those who don't know see you like this, they must think that the daughters of our master's family are lacking in discipline!" ”
Xi Hongdou suddenly realized that this blue-shirted woman was the young lady of the Han family, and in terms of status, she was overwhelmed by the daughter of the side branch.
After the wedding banquet, Xi Hongdou ate hard, and there was no one to talk at the table, compared to Sven on the male side, the female guest was simply lifeless, Xi Hongdou finally felt how strict the rules of the family were, and he didn't dare to gasp for a meal.
The woman in the blue shirt is named Han Zhen'er, who is Han Ting's only daughter and Han Yushu's godsister, because Han Ting only gave birth to a daughter and no son, which also made Han Ting feel under pressure in the clan, knowing that the adoption of Han Yushu from the side branch can be regarded as the solution of the crisis.
