Huilan didn't believe that her youngest son had grown so far, so she looked at her brother with her eyes, "Your brother has been sleeping for a long time?" ”

Xiao Ya couldn't hold back her laughter, and quickly closed her mouth and held back her laughter.

Brother Lian's face darkened angrily, "Sister-in-law, why are you still laughing at me." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm just ......"

Xiao Ya couldn't help but smile and bent over, turning the originally serious reprimand into a warm and interesting picture.

"Really, my father told me to let me supervise him not to make mistakes. This time it has really grown. ”

Brother Qiange couldn't help laughing.

"Well, it's okay, this time it's okay to do some personnel, don't recruit cats and dogs all day long."

Huilan glanced at her youngest son and nodded.

"Look at you, you are eccentric, you don't believe me, my brother said that you only believed me."

"Who am I partial, you don't understand? I usually indulge you in tossing around, and it's not partial. ”

Hui Lan glared at Brother Lian angrily.

"Hey, hey, Queen Mother! Shall I tell you something? ”

Brother Lian hugged Huilan and coquettishly.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to go to Yunnan to have fun, can you agree?"

Brother Lian's speech was slurred.

"What are you doing in Yunnan? Make it clear, and if you don't make it clear, you can't go. ”

Huilan glanced at Brother Lian, don't think I don't know, I promised you to use chicken feathers as an arrow, and you can flicker out of the military power.

"My brother has led troops to fight, I want to go too, forget about other places, I'll go to Yunnan, I'll help you watch that trade road, if you can't be a general, I'll always be a military advisor."

Brother Lian was quite unconvinced.

Hui Lan suddenly realized, "Oh, after making trouble for a long time, you want to borrow my connections, and you are using my banner to deceive again, right?" ”

Li Chengze suddenly spoke, "If he wants you to give it to him, save yourself from saying that you are partial, and if you can't make a name, don't blame me for sending someone to beat you back." ”

"Really, you promised me?"

The business road and the connections of the border army are pinched in Huilan's hands, when she held Sister Xin with her weak body to support the world of the border town in Yunnan, let everyone believe that the border army will be able to win, Niangniang and the princess are here, giving everyone unlimited confidence.

Her prestige surpassed that of a general, but she did not touch military power.

Therefore, after Li Chengze became the emperor, all the money for that trade route was given to Huilan, and she didn't ask for it, so she stayed in the treasury. Everyone knows about this, so the officials respect her very much.

Although the queen has no external rights, only the rights of the harem, but there are some places where you can't play if you don't have her nod, such as the border of Yunnan, even Brother Qian's go may not be easy, but if there is a letter from Huilan, it will be different.

"Do you really want him to go? So a lot of money is handed over to him? That's one-fifth of the revenue of the national treasury. It has a lot to do with eating and drinking. ”

Hui Lan's face became serious, it was a matter of no matter whose son the country was.

"Let him go, the children have grown up, since he is willing to do business, let him do some practical and good things for the Dayong Dynasty, for the livelihood of the people, and plan a little more money in his pocket, it is also good."

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Brother Lian, "Brother Lian, there is only one chance, you know, the business in Yunnan is of great significance to me and your mother, if you break down your mother, she will not help you anymore."

That business road was established by her bit by bit, and it took countless efforts, not to make money for herself, she never took the money of the business road and gave it to me for people's livelihood. ”

For the first time, Li Chengze seriously talked about these things to his sons.

To say that in those years, he always thought that assassination was not bitter, but a bitter thing in Yunnan, Huilan had to worry about whether she was safe on the one hand, and on the other hand, she had to stabilize the people's hearts, and took her young Sister Xin to the market every day to buy vegetables and medicinal materials, and was busy with business affairs.

Brother Lian stood up straight and replied seriously: "Father, please give me a chance, I think my path is different from that of the fifth and sixth brothers." ”

"Okay, since you're going, let's go, Lan'er write a letter to General Ma and ask him to bring Brother Lian."

Li Chengze nodded in agreement.

Hui Lan sighed, "Okay, you are the only child among my children who knows how to use poison, you have to remember my words, don't use poison indiscriminately, let alone research any new poisons, especially contagious poisons, don't abuse them, they will hurt the peace of the world." ”

"Yes, my son remembered."

"Come tomorrow, I wrote a letter to Ming'er to take it away, if you want to go, go away, don't forget that without the support of the people, I can't go today."

Huilan repeatedly told her son not to lose his heart.

"Yes, the son remembers the teachings of the queen mother and does not dare to forget."

"Well, let's have a meal."

Hui Lan didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Xiao Ya saw her and pulled her to sit down, and poured her a cup of warm tea, "Queen Mother, Ming'er heard that there is a drama singing in the opera garden, so I have to go if the relationship is good, and the Queen Mother can take me." ”

"Okay, take you, you are indispensable."

Huilan couldn't help laughing when she saw Xiaoya coaxing her like this.

She is happy, and the whole family can have a good time, otherwise the atmosphere will be sluggish.

"Ming'er is a peony play, I like his play so much."

Xiaoya had fun coaxing Huilan to be happy.

"Well, his play is good, and I love to listen to it."

Dinner came, the family gathered around to eat, Xiaoya spoke softly, Brother Lian played treasure, and the meal was very happy and relaxed.

On the way back, Xiaoya asked curiously: "Brother Qian, why is the mood not too high when it comes to the queen mother of Yunnan?" ”

"Probably because those days were very difficult, and they were also precious to my father and mother, and the queen mother said that she didn't know what to say, but she would always remember it in her heart, it was her most beautiful and precious memory, but it was also a little painful."

sighed before he said, "The soldiers who went together gradually decreased, which inevitably made people sad and uncomfortable, and it was sad to think of these queen mothers." ”

Xiaoya nodded, "Do you think Brother Lian can do a good job if he goes?" ”

"Yes, I believe he can do a good job, in fact, the queen mother is just worried about his injury, thinking that he is still young and not worrying. Brother Lian knows what he can and shouldn't do, and he is measured. ”

"That's good, but you should prepare something in advance, you must bring medicine, clothes, and a few loyal guards."

Xiao Ya counted with her fingers.

"You're right, you remember to remind the queen mother tomorrow."

"Okay, don't worry, I will."

Brother Qiange took Xiaoya's hand and walked back slowly, at the beginning of the lanterns, the palace lanterns were hung in the palace, all kinds of beautiful ones, lined with red wall glazed tiles are extraordinarily beautiful, majestic and solemn.

On the second day, Xiaoya went to greet Huilan and brought a written note.

When I went, I saw Huilan holding a letter and talking to Brother Lian about these things.

"Queen Mother, Lian Ge'an. Yesterday, His Royal Highness said to me, let me think about what to prepare for my younger brother, some things should be prepared earlier, I am afraid that I forgot to write a list, the queen mother to see what are still shortcomings, I asked His Highness to prepare. ”

Xiaoya handed over the written note to her, including what medicines she needed to bring, how to deal with the climate in Yunnan, etc., which was very sufficient.
