Wen Jiqing took a few sips of the tea on the table, and said with a smile: "A while ago, the head of the Tao family in the Nabu Zhengfang made some trivial things, and I heard that he also did something disrespectful to the princess, the saint was furious, and the old slave was also very unhappy for the princess, so he begged the saint to be the master of Princess Junning, severely punished Tao Dingqian, and exiled him to the land of smoke and miasma in Lingnan. ”

Suning'er pursed her lips and chuckled, pretending to be casual and replied: "The slave family is grateful to be so protected by the Duke of the Kingdom." ”

She hadn't associated this matter with Wen Jiqing yet.

Tao Dingqian's answer to this crime, but from his mouth, he said it so lightly, it can be seen that he intends to exonerate the Tao family, and he doesn't have to fight with him more.

Wen Jiqing waved his hand: "The eldest princess is personally sealed by the saint, and the old slave has to do his best to protect it, but the Tao family is also a high wind and bright festival, not only did not hate the court because of this matter, complained about the saint, but generously donated a million yuan of silver for the court to quell the rebellion and the disaster relief in the south, and the saint has worked hard day and day for the war in the north and the disaster in the south, and he can't sleep at night, but the Tao family donated 1.3 million yuan of silver money before and after has really solved a lot of problems for the court and the saint, and the saint is very pleased. ”

When Suning'er heard this, she sneered again in her heart.

I'm afraid this is the reason why Tao Dingqian can be forgiven.

But what she couldn't figure out was that even if Tao Dingqian's criminal responsibility was not enough to punish the Lian clan, at least it should be confiscated family property, and the silver money he earned from doing things that hurt heaven and reason was donated to the imperial court, did this become a merit?

She couldn't believe it was a decision made by a saint.

Secretly glanced at the old lady Zhao, only to see that the old lady's tight brows were furrowed deeper, and he was extremely impatient.

Wen Jiqing didn't care, and said with a smile: "Your mansion is also generous to help the court this year, and the sage is grateful that Zhu Qing can be so worried about the affairs of the family and the country, so today he specially ordered the old slave to draw up an edict to come over, commend your mansion, worship Zhao Jiasanlang Zhao Yi for the history of Yongzhou assassination, and learned that Zhao Jiawulang and Tao Jiuniang are in love, and specially give marriage to the two families to reward their merits." ”

At this time, Zhao Yuanbai and Zhao Wulang were also summoned back to their homes.

Wen Jiqing saw that the two young men had returned, and immediately took out the emperor's edict to read it.

Everyone listened bitterly, only Zhao Pingguang and Zhao Wulang were full of joy.

Not to mention Zhao Yuanbai and the old lady, even Su Ning'er, who has crossed over, knows that Yongzhou has long been assigned to Jingzhao Mansion, but now there is a history of Yongzhou assassination, which is obviously an empty title.

Zhao Yuanbai was admitted to the Jinshi when he was sixteen years old, if it weren't for the people in the Northern Yazhong who made a hindrance from it, I am afraid that he would have done something in the court, and now Wen Jiqing uses such an empty title to perfunctory him, even if it is a big official position, it will not let the old lady and Zhao Yuanbai lead the relationship.

Besides, Suning'er is now a princess with a food estate, no matter what Zhao Yuanbai says, he can be regarded as a concubine, and if he really wants to be an official, he doesn't have to drag such an empty title.

Besides, Zhao Wulang's family affairs, and I don't know where Wen Jiqing heard the rumors, Suning'er never believed that the saint was so bored every day, and took charge of the marriage of the children of ordinary people's families.

She vaguely guessed that Tao Yunshu must have been connected with Wen Jiqing.

The family took the order, and after waiting for Wen Jiqing to leave, Mrs. Zhao sat in the hall, glaring at Zhao Wulang with an angry expression, and the pair of dark beads were about to fall out:

"I have lived at this age, and I have never seen a generation of kings who did not worry about state affairs and took care of the children and daughters of these small families, which is really ridiculous, ridiculous."

Zhao Wulang was frightened, fell to the ground, and begged in a mournful voice: "I am in love with Jiuniang, and now the saint has issued an edict, and I also invite the old ancestor, the third brother, the third sister-in-law, and the father to fulfill it." ”

Zhao Yuanbai had a cold face, and he had to be impressed by his always well-behaved younger brother, and sighed repeatedly: "Wulang is so strategic, for the sake of a child of a merchant family, he actually asked for a saint." ”

Old lady Zhao leaned on crutches and asked sharply: "You little fang, how did you grow up with this ability to splash the sky, how did you get to the front of the saint, and didn't you invite it truthfully?" ”

Zhao Wulang looked around at everyone and replied with a cower: "Yes, it's Jiu Niang, she saw that I was worried about family affairs all day long, and the third brother also asked Du Hongniang to ask the saint for marriage for his sister-in-law, and the Tao family had old friends with Wen Guogong, so she went to ask Wen Guogong to ask the saint for marriage in order to marry me." ”

As he spoke, he pleaded again and again: "Zujun, third brother, Jiuniang treats me with a lot of infatuation, and begs Zujun and the third brother to be fulfilled." ”

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she picked up the teacup in front of her and threw it directly at Zhao Wulang:

"You stupid fang, your sister-in-law is the eldest princess canonized by two generations of saints, she and your third brother's relatives must have a saint to decide, but what dignity and decency do you have with the little vinegar girl of the Tao family, and you can also make the saint personally give marriage, the sins committed by Tao Dingqian, it is difficult to atone for the sins of the Tao family a hundred times, and now donate one million yuan, and you will earn the saint to marry you, and the old decay is not blind, this is clearly the party of the Beiya from it."

"Ahem", Zhao Pingguang covered his mouth and coughed lightly a few times, looking at everyone and persuading softly:

"Father, you can't always be jealous of the Beiya party because of the grievances of the past, and not everyone is as hateful as the Tian brothers, this Wen Guogong helped the new monarch to ascend the throne and pacify the government, which is also indispensable, my Zhao family and Tao family did help the court solve a lot of problems this time, and it is not natural to get the gratitude of the saint, and my son San Lang was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of sixteen, and he is an old friend of the saint, canonized him as a Yongzhou assassin history, and gave marriage to Wulang, that is not what my Zhao family deserves, I look at this Wen Guogong is good."

As he spoke, he squinted at Su Ning'er again: "Ranked as the third duke, and deeply respected by the sage, willing to lower his eyes on our Zhao family, that is the blessing of our Zhao family, why should my father be so ignorant of current affairs, he can't let Su Yilang take advantage of everything, since Ning Yatou married into our Zhao family, San Lang has not been criticized for her, is it wrong for us to point to her to receive some favors from the court?" ”

Mrs. Zhao almost bleed, looked around left and right, and directly smashed the cane in her hand at Zhao Pingguang, and scolded: "You short-sighted, insightless Tian Shehan, you are lazy and don't seek progress on weekdays, just thinking about clinging to the powerful, and now you have to instigate your children to learn from your unhealthy practices, you hurry up and get out of me, the farther you go, the better." ”

Zhao Pingguang was so frightened by the old lady's thunderous anger that he immediately lost his courage, and he hurriedly escaped from the guest hall with a disgraced face.

Su Ning'er watched the old lady make such a big fire, and she was naturally very angry in her heart.

But she knew very well that since Wen Jiqing took out the name of the saint to marry Zhao Wulang and Tao Yunshu, this matter was already a certainty, and there was no room for maneuver.

The Zhao family is not the Qingwang Mansion, and the old lady Zhao is not the concubine of Qin, so it is not easy to get rid of this family business.
