Chapter 226: The Six Princes Are Please
Five million taels of silver, plus thirty percent of Tong'antang's income, Xia Jinse was really surprised when he heard it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: "Really, Lan Beichen?" The emperor promised me so much? ”
Thinking that she deserved so much money, Xia Jinse was not moved by the money, and she was also very happy.
With so much money, she can do a lot of things!
Lan Beichen nodded, picked up the wine jug and got a glass of rose dew, and handed it to Xia Jinse: "Of course it's yours!" The emperor talks about meritorious deeds, if you don't contribute, then Xiao Yuanbai won't be able to catch it, and all the things behind it are gone, so he will naturally reward you. Come, Jinse, all of us have a toast. ”
Everyone poured their own wine, and drank it all excitedly, Xia Jinse usually doesn't like to drink, but he also drank two more glasses today.
With a relaxed smile, Lan Beichen relayed Emperor Yuanqing's praise for her almost word for word: "This girl, it is really my lucky star, since she came, everything has been easy to do." Wouldn't it be nice if I had such a wonderful daughter?! ”
Xia Jinse was overjoyed, covered his mouth and smiled: "Then what did you say?" ”
Lan Beichen narrowed his eyes: "What do you think?" ”
"Father must have been educated by Uncle Nine again." Lan Muxuan couldn't help laughing.
If Miss Xia becomes the daughter of her father, then isn't Uncle Jiu a generation shorter, and it is time to call him brother? This kind of loss, Uncle Nine will not eat it no matter what.
Xia Junping is proud from the bottom of his heart, this is his sister, she has really grown up, and she is no longer a little girl who wants him and her mother to protect. From now on, he can't hold back, he must stand in front of Xia Jinse and shelter her from the wind and rain.
"You say, the emperor has rewarded you so much, can you say it?" Lan Beichen said as he helped her pick up the vegetables, but he didn't eat much.
There is no need to answer this question, otherwise Lan Beichen would not have privately asked Emperor Yuanqing for a reward.
No less than seven million taels of silver, this has to be passed out, and everyone will be red-eyed if they keep it, Xia Jinse knows that her father is the first! But fortunately, she will marry Lan Beichen next month and marry another woman, and Xia Yanxiu no longer has the right to interfere with her in any of her affairs!
Mentioning next month's marriage, Lan Muxuan suddenly said: "By the way, I heard from the people of Honglu Temple a few days ago that at the beginning of next month, Aesop's Khan will send someone to Daqing, does Uncle Nine know about this?" ”
Lan Beichen groaned slightly, and said: "I heard the emperor say, it is the eldest prince of Aesop, nominally to attend the wedding of me and Jinse, and to watch the ceremony to congratulate." But in fact, Aesop's Khan had already sent someone to deliver a credential in advance, wanting to make peace. ”
Aesop, which country is this? Xia Jinse was not impressed, and vaguely felt that it was a small country.
Xia Junping explained to Xia Jinse: "Aesop is in the southwest of Daqing, close to the Jin Kingdom, and is the middle ground between Daqing and the Jin Kingdom. In the past, when the Jin Kingdom invaded Aesop, he asked Daqing for help, and Emperor Taizu sent troops to rescue, and since then they have established diplomatic relations. ”
Although he doesn't leave the house, he reads books all day long, and Xia Yanxiu hasn't been short of him before, so he knows very well. Isn't there a saying that Xiucai doesn't go out, but can know the world, say
That's what he did.
Xia Jinse understood: "It turned out to be a friendly country of Daqing? ”
"Speaking of friends, barely counted, but the country is completely incompatible." Speaking of Aesop, Lan Muxuan, who has business all over the world, knows better. Aesop is actually about the same as the nomadic people of Gubo and Southern Xinjiang, the area is only less than one-tenth of Daqing, and the location is desolate, almost a large area is a desert, if it were not for the communication with Daqing, it would have been wiped out by the Jin State long ago.
However, Aesop is rich in ore sources and has the most iron ore, which is basically sold to Daqing.
Therefore, Daqing has to buy at least three million taels of iron ore from Aesop every year, so in the past 20 years, Aesop people have become more and more wealthy, and even a little waiting for the price to sell, pampered and spoiled.
Since the first emperor, Daqing has been dissatisfied with Aesop Khan's approach, but Daqing has been at war with the Jin State so much that he can only endure Aesop. By the time Emperor Yuanqing arrived, Aesop became even more aggressive, and began to sell some inferior ore to Daqing, but the price was a lot.
There were even rumors that if Daqing didn't want it, they would sell it to Jinguo.
"Therefore, this time Aesop Khan sent a delegation to come, most of them with bad intentions." Lan Muxuan guessed.
Lan Beichen snorted: "There are about ten days left, and the Great Prince Aesop will come." The emperor said today that if they really came to congratulate, it would be easy to discuss the matter with their relatives. If it's the other way around......" he smiled faintly.
and relatives, naturally, they want the women of the royal family to marry, but Xia Jinse has counted them, and there are only a handful of princesses of the right age here in Daqing. Except for Princess Yuyan, what is the name of the remaining title, she is timid and cowardly, and her appearance is ordinary, and she can't say a word when she sees her, Xia Jinse is sure that she will definitely be excluded.
"Do you want to let Princess Yuyan go and kiss? She's afraid she won't be willing, right? Xia Jinse thinks.
Princess Yuyan's savage temper is not to mention, and she is infatuated with Lan Beichen, how can she be willing to marry Aesop?
An almost foreseeable headache is coming again.
Lan Beichen gave Xia Jinse another chopstick dish, urging her to eat quickly, and said, "What are you worried about?" Harmony has always been a major national affair, and it is not up to personal thoughts. If you don't agree to a holy decree, you have to agree to it, unless you are guilty of resisting the decree and committing a capital crime. ”
Thinking about it, Xia Jinse doesn't have to worry about it, it's not her anyway.
After dinner, it was already dark, Xia Jinse sent Lan Beichen and Lan Muxuan out, and saw that they had left, so he came back.
The Great Prince's Mansion next door was pitch black, and a seal had been affixed.
The unicorn stone carving at the door has also been carried away, leaving only the empty foundation imprints, remaining on the ground, telling the wealth and liveliness that once had here.
"Miss, come in, it's cold, beware of catching a cold." Chasing Cloud followed behind and put a cloak on her.
It's only late November, and the weather is freezing so fast, won't it be time for snow to fall next month? Xia Jinse looked at the sky, as if a little snowflakes could fall in the sky, in her previous life, the city where she was located almost did not snow all year round, it was as hot as a stove, and this year she could finally see snowflakes.
Xia Jinse gathered his cloak and said casually: "It's time for snow next month."
? ”
Chasing Yun helped her and responded, "It's not!" Just in time for the wedding of the young lady and the prince, when the time comes, the sky will be full of snow, sprinkled with the sun, with the young lady and the prince dressed in a bright red auspicious dress, into the wedding room, how beautiful......"
As she spoke, she felt it, looking envious and expectant.
The next day, Xia Jinse also woke up in happiness.
Thinking that she will get married next month, she also has some expectations, from the beginning of the marriage contract with Lan Beichen, and then to the later belief in acquaintance, not only did she not reject this marriage, but even hoped that it could be carried out quickly.
The only thing to worry about is that her body is not yet sixteen years old, what if she has a child?
Xia Jinse didn't want to be a mother so early, it was terrible!
"Miss, what do you want, come and wash your face." On the side, Mu Xiang reminded Xia Jinse that she had been stunned by the bed for a while, her face was slightly red, and she didn't know what to think.
Xia Jinse came back to his senses, and quickly twisted his handkerchief to wash his face to hide his heartbeat.
What did she think, she thought about the child before she got married, too early.
But even when she was having breakfast, Xia Jinse was still thinking about this in her mind, did she want to find a time to talk to Lan Beichen? But she was embarrassed and couldn't say it, in case she didn't say it, they would ...... directly on the wedding night It will be too late!
On the side, Mu Xiang looked at Chasing Yun and made a look, and the young lady was distracted again.
Chaiyun also saw it, I don't know what Xia Jinse was thinking, seeing that the chicken shredded noodles were about to be mushy, just when I wanted to remind Miss, Uncle He, the housekeeper outside, came, and when he saw Xia Jinse, he said: "Miss, the sixth prince sent someone here, right at the gate of the mansion." ”
Xia Jinse reacted, and said strangely: "What did the six princes send people to do?" ”
"Miss Hui, I said that the sixth prince was a little uncomfortable, and it was useless to see the imperial doctor, so I wanted to ask the young lady to come over and take a look." Uncle He said.
Could it be that the Sixth Prince is suffering from some strange illness? Xia Jinse thought for a while: "Okay, I'll change my clothes and come." ”
She ate noodles two or three times, rinsed her mouth and wiped her mouth, and then Chaiyun also brought the medicine box. When they arrived at the door, sure enough, the people of the Six Princes' Mansion were even ready for the carriage, Xia Jinse and Chaiyun got into the car and drove towards the Six Princes' Mansion.
"Miss, what serious illness will the sixth prince have, even the imperial doctor can't see it well?" It's also strange to chase clouds.
"It shouldn't be a serious illness, and the person who came to deliver the message didn't seem to be in a hurry, it should just be a little tricky." Xia Jinse's judgment, she even vaguely thought of something, but she felt that it was unlikely, so she could only go and see it.
Xia Jinse went to the Six Princes' Mansion for the first time, looking out of the car window along the way, she was originally recognizing the way, but suddenly she saw a team of yacha passing by with knives, hurrying, as if there was an emergency, her eyes fell on the person who was the leader, and couldn't help but speak: "Cousin Ji!" ”
That person turned out to be Ji Xiao, the head-catching cousin I hadn't seen for a long time!
Hearing Xia Jinse's voice, Ji Xiao turned his head and looked around, and finally saw Xia Jinse in the carriage.
The coachman also stopped the carriage, Ji Xiao signaled to his subordinates, and walked over in surprise: "Cousin Jinse, long time no see!" I have official business, and I happened to meet you. Where are you going? ”
When he saw the carriage, it seemed that there was something going on.
"I went to the Sixth Prince's Mansion for some business, but cousin, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I am in a hurry to have something important?"
Ji Xiao nodded and said: "A while ago, Jingzhao Mansion reported a murder case, and I have some questions, I am leading someone to review and investigate!" By the way, I'm in the Criminal Department now, did the Nine Princes tell you? ”
Xia Jinse was surprised, he didn't know that Ji Xiao had gone to the Criminal Department, no wonder he hadn't seen him recently, thinking that he was busier.
"I won't tell you, there are still many things, I'll go first, and I'll talk to my cousin when I'm free." After speaking, Ji Xiao hugged his fist at her, and hurriedly left with someone, and when he was far away, Xia Jinse remembered that he hadn't told him that he was now living in Jingheyuan.
However, he knew after a little inquiry, and Xia Jinse didn't care too much.
In a small episode, the carriage continued to move forward, and Chaiyun sighed with emotion: "Every time I see Young Master Ji Biao, he is always busy, presumably after he followed the prince to investigate the case and make meritorious contributions last time, he took the initiative to ask to be transferred to the Criminal Department, right?" ”
Ji Xiao is a hot-blooded young man, punishing evil and promoting good all day long, if he is not allowed to do things, he is afraid that it will be more uncomfortable than death.
Xia Jinse couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really strange that the Zhao family has this cousin, it's definitely not the Zhao family's good bloodline, I think it's Cousin Ji's father is very good." ”
"Young Master Jibiao's father is the secretary of the country, and he is honest and upright, I heard that ......"
I don't know where I heard the news, Chaiyun lowered his voice, approached Xia Jinse and said: "I heard that Ji Siye is the eldest princess's sweetheart, and he was the emperor's companion back then, but unfortunately he has no intention of the eldest princess, otherwise, now they are all concubines." ”
Unexpectedly, the Ji family still had this kind of charm, Xia Jinse thought, the next time he saw Ji Xiao, he would definitely ask.
At this time, the voice of the coachman came from outside: "Miss Xia, it's here." ”
