With the current situation of the Duanmu family, there is Duanmu Xian in the court, and there is Duanmu Guifei in the harem second only to the queen, and there is a big prince who is quite emperor's heart, which seems to be like flowers and brocade, but at the same time, it is also like cooking oil on fire, and the scorching fire can flash dazzling light, but it will also hurt people, such as the Wei family when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the Yang family when Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty...... The lessons of history are numerous.

She and Duanmujun's surname Duanmu means that they are under the shadow of this surname.

There is a saying: "Under the nest, there are no eggs", once the Duanmu family fell due to political fighting, throughout history, the family of the offender, if you are lucky, a white silk will end early; Those who were unlucky were exiled, enslaved, or even confiscated into the church...... No one is spared!

Therefore, even if it is for the sake of their sisters themselves, the Duanmu family must be well.

In the past few months, she has shown a little talent in arithmetic and won a little love from Duanmu Xian, but if she wants him to be impressed, it is far from enough.

She gets his attention, so she can talk to him later.

Since becoming Duanmufei, she has been waiting for this opportunity, on the one hand, she wants to subtly fade away the impression that other people in the house regard her as a fool, and on the other hand, she is also waiting for an opportunity......

Maybe now is the chance.

This day passed in a hurry, and when Duanmuxian returned home, Duanmufei went to the outer courtyard with his homework

Since beating her several times and showing her outstanding arithmetic talent, Duanmuxian will take time out every day to look at her homework and take a few school exams. This kind of treatment is only enjoyed by the eldest grandson Duanmuheng.

In the study, the grandparents and grandchildren asked and answered one by one as usual.

Duanmufei's answer was like a stream, Duanmuxian was quite satisfied, and nodded from time to time.

After taking a few questions, he casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf on the side, "Four girls, this book of "Fixation" is profound and difficult, you take it back and read it slowly, chew it carefully, don't be greedy......

"Greed often can't chew up." Duanmufei took the book and said with a smile, with a little playfulness in her expression, like an ordinary granddaughter behaving coquettishly to her grandfather.

"You know what you can do." The smile on Duanmuxian's face was even stronger, and the grandparents and grandchildren were harmonious.

"Thank you grandfather for your advice." Duanmu got up with a smile and blessed him, then sat down again, his eyes fell on the fold on Duanmu Xian's desk, as if he had thought of something, and the words changed, "Grandfather, my sister and I made a post to Cousin Yu this morning, inviting him to come to the house as a guest on the 27th of this month......"

After a pause, Duanmu frowned, and continued as if hesitating: "Grandfather, I heard that grandmother plans to feast on that day......

Duanmuxian only knew about this at this moment, and he was stunned, but he didn't take it to heart.

He saw that Duanmu Fei's expression was a little wrong, thinking that she was worried that the He family would snub Li Tingyou, and after pondering for a while, he asked with a smile: "Fourth girl, tell your grandfather what you think." ”

Duanmu Xian doesn't say this to a few granddaughters on weekdays, but because he likes Duanmu Fei's granddaughter, he is quite patient with her.

"Grandfather, granddaughter thinks it's inappropriate." Duanmu Fei said bluntly.

Duanmuxian smiled, only thinking that Duanmu Fei was really childish, but in the next moment, he heard Duanmu Fei throw out a completely irrelevant question: "Grandfather, dare to ask why the third uncle was transferred to Ru County?" ”

Duanmu Xian didn't expect her to suddenly mention Duanmu Period, she was a little suspicious and a little surprised, and there was a little more scrutiny in her eyes when she looked at Duanmu Fei.

Duanmufei didn't care, and the conversation changed again: "Grandfather, the Huaibei flood has receded, and the eyes are full of desolation, the emperor ordered the household department to allocate silver for disaster relief and reconstruction, how did grandfather return?" ”

"Sister Scarlet, how did you know about this?" Duanmu Xian's heart became more and more surprised, and his body tensed slightly.

Duanmu Fei pointed to a stack of papers placed on Duanmu Xian's right hand, her eyes were clear, and there was a touch of innocence on her immature little face, "When I came to my grandfather's place two days ago to do my homework, I saw my grandfather calculating the manpower, materials, grain and grass for post-disaster reconstruction on paper...... So speculative. After a pause, she continued, "The treasury is insufficient, and the household has no silver, so my grandfather must have replied to the emperor truthfully." ”

I see. Duanmu Xian secretly praised her observation in his heart, his granddaughter seemed to be not only a little smart in mathematics, but also enlightened in other aspects.

"The world praises the prosperity of Xuanlong, the vast territory, the wealth of the country and the strength of the people, which is a prosperous era that is rare in the annals of history." Duanmu Fei continued to say in an orderly manner, "However, my grandfather is not enough to play the treasury, what does my grandfather think the emperor will think?" Grandfather, you are not only in charge of the household, but also the maternal grandfather of the eldest prince, will the emperor feel that his grandfather is relied on and arrogant? ”

Duanmu's black and white eyes were facing Duanmu Xian's eyes through the big rosewood case, obviously still young, but he wanted to make a serious appearance.

Duanmu Xian was startled, his pupils shrank, and at this moment, there was a touch of emotion in his always deep eyes.

Duanmu Fei saw that Duanmu Xian's expression was a little relaxed, and added: "My granddaughter thinks that transferring the third uncle to Ru County may be a warning from the emperor to my grandfather!" ”

Duanmu Fei deliberately made alarmist remarks, the purpose was to warn Duanmu Xian, as for whether the emperor thought so, it was not that important. As long as Duanmu Xian believes what she says!

"Sister Scarlet, don't speculate on the holy will." Duanmu Xian's face sank like water, and he scolded lightly in his mouth, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart.

Yes, everyone in front of the emperor has to praise a sentence "the first emperor and the present to create a prosperous era of Xuanlong", up to the powerful generals, to the literati and bachelors, down to the cloth and the common people, there are sometimes "prosperous", "heyday" and other beautiful words, but a few people have thought that although it is a prosperous era, it does not mean that the treasury is inexhaustible!

He doesn't want to cater to the holy will, please the emperor, but the treasury is empty, the emperor has been three southern tours in the past eight years, in addition, every year to hunt, summer vacation, every trip is accompanied by hundreds of officials, the teacher moves, pomp, which spent nearly half of the silver is moved from the treasury, since last year, there have been many disasters in various places, the imperial court has collected a lot of taxes, demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, where can the household come from the silver!

However, there are some words that cannot be said directly to the emperor, for fear that the listener will be intentional, and the emperor will be annoyed and angry, feeling that he is reprimanding him for extravagance.

Thinking about it, Duanmu Xian's face became more and more solemn, and his eyebrows were tightly locked. In the past few months, he has repeatedly complained about the lack of the emperor's treasury, and I am afraid that the emperor has become unhappy in his heart.

Duanmu Fei looked at the change in Duanmu Xian's expression, felt that it was almost the same, and asked again: "Grandfather, do you still think that your grandmother's banquet in ten days is appropriate?" ”

Inappropriate. These two words naturally appeared in Duanmu Xian's heart.

From the transfer of the third child, it can be seen that the emperor is somewhat dissatisfied with himself, at this time, if Shangshufu continues to be so ostentatious, maybe the emperor will feel that he is arrogant, and wants to form a party for personal gain, and win the hearts of the people for the eldest prince.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Xian's face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water.

Duanmufei just looked at him quietly, in the outer study, there was a dead silence, silence spread, at this time, even the trees and flowers in the courtyard outside the window stopped swaying, there was no trace of wind around, the air froze, and time seemed to stand still.

The little guy was silent, and he didn't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere.

I don't know how long it took, Duanmuxian picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup at hand, and after taking a sip of Shangwen's tea, he broke the silence and asked, "Four girls, are these all your own thoughts?" ”

"Back to my grandfather, it's all my own thoughts." Duanmu Fei nodded, obediently like a good student in front of a gentleman.

Duanmu Xian showed a deep expression, and a small fire lit up in his deep eyes, his fourth granddaughter was indeed a little like him, and this time it brought him a new surprise.

Duanmu Xian and his staff don't know how many times they discussed it in private, and there were all kinds of speculations, but they didn't see it thoroughly as this nine-year-old girl.

In the past, Duanmu Fei was always said to be a little fool in the house, and He also said in front of him that Duanmu Fei was "not very dexterous" and "boring", but now it seems that Duanmu Fei is good at arithmetic, articulate, and has a bit of vision, so he is not a fool!

Either the He family deliberately belittled Duanmufei to exclude their sisters, or Duanmufei was wise and foolish......

Duanmu Xian narrowed his eyes, and a fierce aura was faintly released from his body.

Anyway, Duanmu's surname is Duanmu, she is her granddaughter, and she is the bloodline of the Duanmu family!

She has such a vision, which is also a kind of talent, which can be met but not sought.

"Fourth girl, these things you just said are very important, I know ...... in my heart" Duanmu Xian cleared his throat and said with a straight face, "You can't tell anyone else what you just said, including your sister." ”

"Yes, grandfather, granddaughter understands." Duanmu nodded obediently in response.

"In the future, if you feel that something is wrong, just come and tell your grandfather," Duanmuxian's tone was slightly solemn, revealing a little majesty, "especially not to speculate on the holy will easily. "The emperor is most taboo for others to speculate on the holy will, and these close ministers are well aware of this, and they dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step......

After Duanmuxian said a few words of concern to him, he sent Duanmu Fei away.

Duanmu Fei got up and retreated with the volume of "Fixation".

The sun is slanting in the west, the weather at dusk is cool and comfortable, and in the gust of evening breeze, Duanmu Fei strolls in the empty verandah, the corners of his mouth crooked.
