Xi Hongdou said: "Your ship looks a little old. ”

"It's been an old ship for many years, and it's broken and broken, and I guess I won't be able to do it for another two years." The old man said, looking at Xi Hongdou's dress, he could also see which lady of a big family was the wife, and he had nothing to make fun of him.

Xi Hongdou thought that the ship had to be replaced with a new one, and the old ship was not easy to attract passengers.

The two played for an afternoon, Xi Hongdou finally went home, and on the way Sister-in-law Liu asked: "Owner, there are indeed few people by this lake, will there be no guests there?" ”

"Selling package tickets, half-day tour of the lake outside the city, taking care of rice, fish and meat, and carriage pick-up, what do you think?" Xi Hongdou wants to get a tourist vacation, the scenery of the lake outside the city is definitely attractive enough, but it is a little far away from the city gate, but it is much easier to take a carriage, originally she wanted to build a big shed, but now she thinks that it is not bad to build a place to stay directly. It's just that this is a big project, and I'm afraid it won't be realized this year.

Sister-in-law Liu listened, and said: "Then how can we make money, this cost is not small, the poor are afraid that they are reluctant to spend money, and the rich people probably don't need to take our carriage, so they will go by themselves." ”

Xi Hongdou also has to think about this, if you just eat kebabs, instead of going out of the city, it is better to buy it directly and go home to save trouble. You have to come up with something special that makes people feel that it's worth a trip outside the city, and they're willing to spend money.

As soon as he arrived home, Xi Hongdou received a wedding card from the Su family, Su Huiwan's wedding date was finally set, on the twenty-second of this month, Xi Hongdou saw that Su Huiwan could finally marry as she wished, and she must also prepare a big gift.

However, the post in his hand has not yet been hot, and the Han family's post has also been sent, but it is for Xiao Zhi.

"It's the same time as Xiao Zhi, and I also have a business relationship with the Han family, anyway, I have to give a gift." Xi Hongdou said that the relationship between the Su family and the Han family also had to move.

Xi Hongdou went to the treasury to look for it, and then found out the dowry given by Mrs. Xiao at the beginning. The dowry is supposed to stay at her mother's house, but Daddy Xi and Aunt Xi didn't leave anything, but it was not good to let their daughters take them away, so they left a few symbolically, and the others were also taken away by Xi Hongdou as a dowry.

"This white jade is absolutely okay to send Guanyin, I will give this directly to Su Huiwan." Xi Hongdou said that sending a son Guanyin out by himself is definitely golden.

In the evening, Xiao Zhi came back and said when he saw the invitation: "I have a painting there, just send it directly." ”

"Painting? What paintings? Take it? Xi Hongdou asked, the things sent can't be too shabby.

Xiao Zhi smiled: "Famous, there is no market." ”

Xi Hongdou nodded, and then said, "I will get married on the twenty-second of this month, can you go then?" ”

"Naturally, I'm going." Xiao Zhi said, things on this kind of scene also have to move around, although the Han family is not much power in the officialdom, but Han Yushu will be different in the future, and these things must also be paid attention to.

…………

A big event suddenly happened in Kyoto City, and it was still in the court.

"The prince disobeyed the emperor because of a woman?" Xiao Zhi looked at his father, Master Xiao had just come out of the palace, and he was full of sadness because of this incident.

Master Xiao said: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!" "What kind of character is the prince? is consistent enough, especially in front of the emperor, who is definitely an obedient and sensible son, so what kind of temper is the emperor? Now that he has been provoked by the prince, it has been rumored in private in the palace that the emperor is going to abolish the prince.

Xiao Zhi also couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "What woman?" "I used to go to see the prince to talk about business, and the prince didn't mention it, he was also curious, what kind of woman could make the prince so sexual, even the emperor dared to disobey?!

Master Xiao waved his hand: "I don't know, I heard that it was a maid in the East Palace, the day before yesterday, Lord Cheng's daughter entered the palace, this maid was rude, so she provoked Miss Cheng's family, and then this matter made a big fuss, and then I heard that the maid was not selected to enter the palace, but a folk woman found by the prince, and she was directly stuffed into the palace!" ”

When Xiao Zhi heard this, he knew why the emperor was so angry. In the eyes of the emperor, he has always been very interested in etiquette, and the imperial power is inviolable, and now the prince has secretly done such a thing to surrender his identity for a folk woman, so he is naturally angry.

"Then how is the emperor now?" Xiao Zhi asked, angry is angry, the emperor won't really do anything to the prince at this time, right?

Lord Xiao shook his head: "I don't know, the emperor is angry, and our ministers have also been scolded miserably, what happens after that, it depends on the emperor's mood." "The king's heart is unpredictable, and they don't know what the emperor's mood is.

Xiao Zhi sighed, this prince is also confused, this kind of thing is making trouble at this time, isn't it to give those ladies in the harem a handle?

"Dad, I'll go to the palace to see the situation of the prince." Xiao Zhi said that now everyone thinks that his Xiao family and the prince are all the way, if he doesn't appear at this time, others will think that his Xiao family can turn his face if he turns his face.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly entered the palace and arrived at the East Palace, where there were guards guarding the door, but Xiao Zhi did not stop him from entering.

The crown prince is now grounded by the emperor, but he didn't say that no one was allowed to visit, Xiao Zhi thought of this, and wondered if the emperor still had a test in it.

When the prince saw Xiao Zhi, he said, "Why did you come at this time?" My father would not want to see a minister come to visit at this time! Whoever comes basically becomes his "henchman", and everyone wants to draw a line with him, and there are many rumors that the prince is secretly abolished.

Xiao Zhi didn't care, and said: "It doesn't matter, since the emperor didn't let the guards outside stop him, it means that he has good intentions." ”

The prince did not understand, so he said, "What is the purpose? "Isn't it fishing? Whoever comes has to make a note?

Xiao Zhi said: "The emperor originally had high hopes for the prince, so although the prince had close contacts with some adults before, the emperor did not ask more. ”

"This ......" the prince was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This doesn't mean anything, delegating power in advance shows that my father is indeed satisfied with me." ”

"It's the same contact, Concubine Jing, but it's different." Xiao Zhi said that the previous criminal department was not like this.

The crown prince thought about it, in the end, his father was still towards himself.

Xiao Zhi asked: "I heard that the prince disobeyed the emperor because of a woman, and the emperor should be waiting for the prince to give an explanation." ”

The prince said, "I know, you also came to persuade me to deal with that woman, didn't you?" ”

"The prince should talk about the reason first, and the minister can come up with an idea for the prince." Xiao Zhi said that if the prince really falls, he is not afraid, after all, he is doing things for the emperor, the emperor understands, nothing will happen to the Xiao family, and he is still favored, but this prince can't fall without explanation!

The prince talked about Cui Xueying, in the prince's words, Cui Xueying is affectionate, righteous, kind-hearted, he fell in love at first sight, and when he saw him again, he would rather risk angering the emperor than leave someone behind, which was very infatuated.

When Xiao Zhi heard this, he said: "If the prince really likes it, he can find out his identity, and then let people enter the palace when he chooses." "The identity problem may not be able to do the show girl, but there is a precedent for the palace maid to be a maid, and when the emperor was alive, he accepted the palace maid who served around him as a nobleman, but now the emperor is interested in the identity and bloodline, and he is not very interested in the palace maid.

Although it is a risk, it seems that the prince is infatuated, but whether the woman is voluntary or not, it is difficult to say, now that she has provoked the young lady of the Cheng family, it is the future queen, even if the prince justifiably includes people in the harem, I am afraid that the young lady of the Cheng family will not treat the woman well.

The prince said: "At that time, my brain was hot, and now I have started, but I can't deal with her!" ”

Seeing that the prince was still responsible, Xiao Zhi said, "Then it's better to be directly included in the East Palace." ”

"How is this possible? My father was furious because of this matter, and he deliberately asked me to be grounded and think about how to deal with it, and he must not want to see me go my own way! The prince said, now it has affected Cui Xueying, and people are still in the violent room at this time, what will they experience, he can also imagine.

When Xiao Zhi heard this, he said, "The emperor let His Highness think for himself?" Didn't say how to let the prince how? That's what makes sense.

The prince shook his head: "Although I didn't say it, but there was such a big fire, I'm afraid people won't be able to keep it!" "But now, even if he wants to send people out of the palace, I'm afraid he can't.

"This is different, if the emperor is really angry, he will definitely say how to let His Highness do it, but such an obvious thing makes His Highness think about how to deal with it, this is very different!" Xiao Zhi said, I feel that things should not be as simple as rumored by the outside world.

The prince thought about it and asked, "What's the difference?" "It's just a matter of one sentence, and there is no need to say it explicitly, he understands it.

Xiao Zhi said: "The emperor should want to see how His Highness reacts, so the minister wants to ask His Highness, does His Highness have to keep that woman?" Now the emperor asks you to deal with it, naturally how the prince deals with it, the emperor will accept it, and now send people out of the palace, the emperor will not stop them, and similarly, if you leave people behind, the emperor will not stop them. ”

"This ...... How is this possible? My father has been in charge for many years, and he will not allow anyone to disobey his will! The prince said, feeling that Xiao Zhi was not credible when he said this.

Xiao Zhi said: "The minister is naturally not nonsense, one, I came in just now, and no one stopped me, which means that the emperor allows the minister to come to see the prince, and it is only the prince who is grounded in the East Palace." This is obviously for the sake of the prince, to see who is trustworthy, those who usually hang around the prince, but now they don't come, the prince must also know in his heart. Second, the emperor wants to see if His Royal Highness has the courage! "There are some things that need to be carefully analyzed.
