While his mother Qin and his sister Wu Xiang were talking, Wu Jian returned to the inner courtyard to see his wife Pan Jing.

Pan was a famous lady in Liangzhou when he was young, married to Wu Jian, the husband and wife were harmonious, raised the case and raised eyebrows, usually husband and children, filial piety to in-laws, love sister-in-law, treat people leniently, won the praise of the Wu family, even her father-in-law Wu Sutai also valued her, and her mother-in-law, Qin, who has always had no opinions, regarded her as the backbone of the family, and she had to make up her mind for big and small things.

Now Pan is nearly 30 years old, although her complexion is not as beautiful as when she was young, but she has a dignified manners and a gentle personality, and she has become more and more quiet and soft in the past two years. When she saw her husband come into the house, she was a little surprised, so she told her maid to take the child out to play.

Pan got up and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wu Jian, and said softly, "Why did Xianggong go back to the room so early today?" In the past, I was still in the study to handle official business. ”

Wu Jian took the tea and took a sip, put the tea cup on the Ruyi round table in front of him, remembering that he had little time to spend with his wife and children in the past, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart. "Since I was promoted to the history of this Liangzhou assassin, I am busy with official business on weekdays, and I hope that Mrs. will not blame, I will definitely spend more time with you and Qian'er in the future."

Young couple, how does Pan not understand her husband's personality? Wu Jian is a decent person, he has always been clean and self-conscious, never like other eunuchs who rely on the power of the family, and have nothing to do all day long, either fighting cocks and lackeys or staying in the hook fence tile house, except for the government office, most of the day is spent in the study, there is such a diligent and motivated husband, the little sisters who grew up with her back then, I don't know how envious I am.

"The husband's path is smooth, and it is the time to be motivated, don't be distracted by me, Qian'er, I have my own husband to teach, and I will teach him well."

Wu Jian was moved in his heart, "It is really a blessing for Wu Jian to have a wife like this." He got up and helped his wife sit down, "Xiang'er's marriage, the date has been set." ”

Pan's face was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then I want to congratulate my sister, I don't know what day it is?" ”

"June 22." Wu Jiandao.

"In such a hurry, can you have time to prepare for big and small affairs?" Pan frowned slightly, secretly thinking about the days in his heart.

"The date agreed between King Jiannan and his father is too late and too late. Father has already spoken, Xiang'er's marriage will be handled by you and my husband and wife, and the remaining two months will probably be hard for Mrs. "Both parents are there, but they want their sons and daughters-in-law to take care of their sister's marriage, according to common sense, it is somewhat unreasonable, but in this extraordinary period, the army is inseparable from his father An Guogong, and his mother Qin is ...... Thinking of this, Wu Jian looked at his wife with a little more guilt in his eyes.

Pan Shi understood Wu Jian's difficulties, and in turn comforted her husband, "Husband, you can rest assured, although two months is not enough, if you send some more manpower, everything will go smoothly, it will be enough." ”

Pan hesitated for a moment and continued: "It's just the same, my sister's dowry, what do my father and mother command?" ”

The dowry of women in Ningguo, especially the marriage of the prince's family, has always been a rule, but Pan's heart is careful, remembering that her sister Wu Xiang is the only daughter of the Wu family, and she has always been favored. is well prepared, and I am afraid that my mother-in-law Qin will be dissatisfied. After all, father-in-law Wu Sutai and husband Wu Jian are honest officials, and mother-in-law Qin is not good at housekeeping, it is said that there has even been a deficit in the house for two years, and the situation has slowly improved after she got married, so although it is the family of the prince, but the wealth of the Wu family is really not rich, and it is far from the rumored Zhong Ming Dingshi.

"The king of Jiannan is kind to the Wu family, and his father has made it clear that Xiang'er's dowry can be as rich as it can be, you can let it go, and everything is a good husband." Knowing where Pan's worries were, Wu Jian showed his responsibility in a timely manner.

In this way, Pan knew in his heart, and the husband and wife discussed some trivial matters, and then they got up and went to get busy.

In the Jiannan Palace, Zhang Lantern was busy marrying the princess, and the Anguo Mansion was full of joy and prepared the dowry in an orderly manner. In Liuzhou Yiwang's Mansion, the atmosphere is not so relaxed, happy and festive.

Looking at the letter sent back from Liangzhou, Yiwang Xiao Lingba's face became darker and darker, and finally with a "snap", he slapped the letter on the desk fiercely, his fat body trembled, and his eyes were full of anger, "Wu Sutai, this old guy, is so ignorant that he dares to refuse this king's proposal!" Who gave him the guts?! ”

King Yi's sudden anger startled several strategists sitting at the bottom of the main hall, and the first two looked at each other, one of them boldly said: "The prince doesn't need to be angry, Wu Sutai has always boasted of loyalty and righteousness, and he is stupid, and the Wu family and the Jiannan palace are only verbal marriage contracts, and it is reasonable to count, he actually used this matter as an excuse to refuse the prince's kindness, and he really has no eyes." ”

Xiao Lingba's body seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and the words he said seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with anger and unwillingness: "Let's talk about it, how can this king let out this evil breath?" ”

A strategist with a yellow face and a thin body said: "Back to the prince, the villain thinks that Wu Sutai doesn't know how to lift, you are a prince, you want to clean him up, there are many opportunities!" However, judging from this matter, King Jiannan is not as good as we thought before, so we have to guard against it! ”

Seeing this person mention his sixth uncle Xiao Dingfeng, Xiao Lingba's eyes turned a few times. In his eyes, the sixth prince Shu Jiannan Wang has been in the remote Dazhou for more than 20 years, he is mediocre and lazy, without the domineering spirit of the descendants of the royal family, and has almost no sense of existence among the princes and nobles of Ningguo. Although His Majesty summons King Jiannan once a year according to the routine to give some rewards and graces, it is only to win people's hearts and make the people of Ning think that he is a king who respects his elders and has a benevolent heart, otherwise, King Jiannan will almost be forgotten by everyone in that small place in Dazhou.

There are only two kinds of people in the world, and King Yi never regards them as his enemies, the first is so strong that he does not dare to be enemies with them, and this kind of person has not yet appeared; The other is so weak that he disdains to be his enemy. It is clear that Xiao Dingfeng, the king of Jiannan, belongs to the latter.

It was really unexpected that his uncle Liuwang, who usually shy away, actually sent a welcoming team to Liangzhou with great fanfare when he knew that he was going to the Wu family to propose marriage, and married Miss Wujia who he thought was within reach, which was really surprising to him.

This really annoyed him, Miss Wu family, he can not marry, but the power and absolute allegiance of the Wu family, he must get, and marriage is the least costly and the most secure long-term method, and now this shortcut seems to be unworkable.

"Lord Wang, according to the villain, if you openly make enemies with Duke An Guo and King Jiannan at this time, it will not only damage your own strength, but also attract two strong enemies for us in vain, which is really unwise, for the sake of the long term, please be patient for the time being, and think about it in the long run." Another young strategist stood up and said.

Xiao Lingba's face became more and more ugly, "If this king can't bear it!" ”

Seeing that his suggestion had been rejected, the young strategist shrank aside and did not dare to speak any more.

At this time, another strategist spoke: "Lord Wang, the villain has a way to make the prince angry, and the palace does not need to send a single person. ”

"Speak!" Xiao Lingba raised his right hand and waved, very impatient.

"From Dazhou to Liangzhou, you must pass through Crow Ridge." After the strategist finished saying this slowly, he raised his head and looked at his master, judging from his expression, it was obvious that the other party had understood.

Xiao Lingba's face was slightly pale, and the eyes of the Yin Owl revealed endless hatred, and Sen Senran said: "Send someone to tell Gu Qingfeng that his opportunity to be loyal to this king has come." ”
