Chapter 120: Firewood, Rice, Oil, and Salt

A few days after entering November, in the evening, Xie Ze took the guards and rushed into the New Song Gate and went straight to the Donghua Gate.

When the prince got the report, he immediately rushed to Yanfu Palace, rushed to Xie Ze first, looked up and down, and asked with a smile: "It's okay, right?" ”

"Hmm."

A smile appeared at the corner of Xie Ze's mouth, and the prince's eyebrows raised.

A few small chamberlains had already brought in the sand table.

Xie Ze stood over and said succinctly and clearly what he saw, heard, and thought on this trip.

After talking for most of the hour, the emperor let out a long breath and wrinkled his eyebrows.

"Fortunately, Aze made this trip, these places are very different from what I expected, and here, there is also a big gap, and the original strategy has to be adjusted."

"Well, the south has been entrenched for nearly twenty years, and now if you want to take it, you don't have to rush for a while. You must be ready, it is best to finish the battle in one go, once it is delayed, it will not be good for us. ”

The prince twisted his eyebrows, looked at the sand table for a while, and looked up at the emperor.

"Well, I have to think about it, and I'll have to re-enact it."

The emperor nodded, raised his hand and patted Xie Ze's shoulder.

"You worked hard and came back overnight? Hurry back, have a good rest, you don't have to go to court tomorrow, it's nothing to do in the morning, go back quickly. ”

"Yes."

Xie Ze bowed down and agreed, and together with the prince, he went out of the Yanfu Palace.

"Come to my place for dinner and then go back, or will you go back now?"

Descending the steps of the Yanfu Palace, the prince glanced at Xie Ze and asked.

"Skip dinner."

Xie Ze's answer was quick and crisp.

The prince snorted loudly, "Don't eat dinner anymore, or don't you want to have dinner with me?" Looking for someone else's girl for dinner? ”

Xie Ze squinted at the prince and didn't answer.

"You will get married in ten days, according to the rules, you can't meet again, you know this rule, right?"

The crown prince patted Xie Ze's arm with the back of his hand.

"I don't know."

"So you know now?"

The prince snorted again.

"What's the matter?"

Xie Ze looked at the prince and asked.

"Yes, there are a lot of things about your marriage, Mr. Wang asked me here, I can't make decisions for you, I've already piled up a bunch of them."

"Tomorrow."

Xie Ze's footsteps were very fast, Yanfu Hall was close to Jinghua Palace, and in a few words, he had already arrived at the gate of Jinghua Palace, Xie Ze stopped, and bowed his hand to the prince.

"You ......"

The prince laughed, waved at Xie Ze while laughing, went up a few steps, glanced sideways at Xie Ze, who had already strode out, and muttered with his hands behind his back.

"It's really an old house on fire."

……………………

In the backyard of Qingfeng Building, Li Ran took more than ten steps away from the private room, and saw Xie Ze coming out of the courtyard gate, carrying his skirt and rushing straight over.

Xie Zeying took a few steps forward, looked down at Li Ran, who was smiling brightly, and laughed too, turned sideways, and motioned to Li Ran.

"Let's go in and talk, it's windy outside."

"You just came back?" Li Ran glanced at Xie Ze from time to time.

"Well, when you come out of the Yanfu Palace, you will come."

Xie Ze stretched out a finger and pressed it on Li Ran's shoulder, motioning for her to look at the road.

In the private room, Xiqing was taking a few small servants to put on the last few dishes.

"Eat first?"

Xie Ze motioned to Li Ran.

Li Ran responded, sat down, took the soup Xie Zesheng gave her, and looked at Xie Ze while sipping it.

"Eat."

Xie Ze was smiled by her, put down the soup bowl in his hand, and ordered the dishes on the table to signal her.

"Hmm." Li Ran looked at the table full of dishes.

It was late at this time, she had already eaten dinner, but he must have been hungry, and when she looked at him again, she was disturbing his meal.

Li Ran ate very little, but Xie Ze did eat a lot.

Xiqing led people to withdraw the food and put tea soup on the table.

"This trip went well?"

Li Ran looked at Xie Ze and asked with concern.

"Hmm."

Xie Ze touched a small thing from his sleeve and handed it to Li Ran.

Li Ran reached out and picked up the string of shrunken small walnuts, but the bracelet was much more delicate than the small walnuts, and looked at it carefully.

"This is my passing through Lingjiang, there is an ancient temple dedicated to this string of Vajra Bodhi, that day happened to be your birthday, the monks in the temple are also willing to give up, I will invite you back."

"It looks ancient."

Li Ran gently twisted the Bodhi beads with her fingers.

"Well, it is said that it is a relic left by a Tianzhu monk who traveled to the temple, that monk is proficient in the Diamond Sutra, and there are many handscrolls left by him in the temple.

There are also a few monks in Xiaoyan Temple who specialize in the Diamond Sutra, and I will ask them to go over and have a look. ”

Xie Zechu stretched out his hand and tossed the Bodhi beads, "Put them away, it's a good thing." ”

"Hmm."

Li Ran responded, looked down, and put the Bodhi beads into the empty purse.

She is not used to wearing anything on her wrists as well as on her fingers.

"How's it going? It's all going well, right? ”

Xie Ze watched Li Ran put the Bodhi beads and asked vaguely.

"It's good, I went to see Ah Pei's dowry, and the sixth lady."

Li Ran paused, looked at Xie Ze and said, "My dowry, do you know how much silver it spent?" ”

Xie Ze shook his head, he really didn't know.

"A lot, the second grandmother and the second brother, as well as the second master of the Wang family, each take care of a part, the second grandmother said that she only knew how much silver she used here, saying that it had already used more than 200,000 yuan, and the second brother's side, she said that it was more than her here.

I wonder if they have made all your money a dowry? ”

Li Ran was a little worried.

The money is all dowry, what will happen in the future? Sell dowry?

"That's not much."

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran, and wanted to laugh and hold back.

"Don't worry."

Li Ran slanted Xie Ze's smile back.

She always felt that when he wanted to laugh and then smacked back, he wanted to laugh at her.

"What about the others? The Xie family? ”

Xie Ze bowed slightly, looked at Li Ran, and then asked.

"The Xie family has never looked for me, and Mrs. Xie came over for everything.

I asked Mrs. Xie to send me some more people, plus Mama Sang and the three of them, there are now thirty-four in total, all of them are girls.

There is another thing, General Zhou wanted to give us more than a dozen veterans, saying that it was for guarding, but I didn't dare to respond, and that sister-in-law Wu, do you remember? She wanted to throw it at me, too, but I didn't take it.

General Zhou's meaning, if we don't accept some people from outside into the mansion, then from now on, the mansion will be full of slaves of the Xie family.

What do you think? ”

Li Ran looked at Xie Ze.

He and the Xie family, how to get along in the future, to what extent, she can't weigh it, and she doesn't want to weigh it, this is a matter that should be decided by him.

"Those veterans, look at the people, if you want to take them, take them in.

It's not because the house is full of slaves of the Xie family in the future, but even the Xie family often gathers people from the outside, spit out the old and accept the new, so as not to be a pool of stagnant water.

That sister-in-law Wu is just a cook, you can take it if you want to, very small things, just do it as you like. ”

Xie Ze's words were concise and clear.

Li Ran listened intently and nodded slowly, "Well, I understand." By the way, you have a lot of Zhuangzi? ”

"Well, it seems that there are quite a few of them, and they have been delivered to you?"

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran with a smile.

"Well, I don't know about farming, Mrs. Xie said, those Zhuangzi are not very well maintained, those Zhuangzi, what will I do in the future?"

She thinks she's better at business than running a farm, and although she doesn't know how different the business here is from the old shopping malls, it's always the same business, and it's better than the farm.

"The Xie family has people who can take care of Zhuangzi, and they ask for it."

After a pause, Xie Ze smiled:

"They send people to see the Zhuangzi every year, but I didn't think about the future before, whether it was Zhuangzi or silver, I never paid attention to it.

In the future, with you, you slowly learn to take care of it, don't be afraid, there is me. ”

"Okay." Li Ran took a breath, and after a moment, he sighed again, "I haven't married yet, it's just firewood, rice, oil and salt." ”

Xie Ze's eyebrows raised, and for a moment, he burst out laughing.

"When the war in the south is over, I'll take you around, well, it will take a year or two, two years or three years."

"yes, okay." Li Ran looked at Xie Ze, "I didn't complain, with you, firewood, rice, oil and salt are also very interesting." ”

"Hmm." Xie Ze laughed as he raised his hand and brushed Li Ran's sideburns.
