Chapter 26: The Northern Pavilion
In the evening, Ji Dafu, the person in charge of the Yunzhai business in Kunze City, came to today's Xia Mansion.
"Girl, we can't be soft this time. Qiu Changkai is really deceitful this time! He actually hijacked our convoy. That's ten carts full of grain! ”
Ji Dafu scolded Qiu Changkai angrily while pacing.
Xia Wanhua didn't say anything, holding her cheeks and listening to Ji Dafu scolding.
Xu is mouth was dry, so Ji Dafu sat down and took a sip of tea. After drinking the tea, he reflected that no one should say a word to him.
"No, I've been talking for a long time? Girl, Mr. Cui, you are the principal, you can't give a move? Ji Dafu slapped angrily.
Cui Yugan laughed dryly twice, and the scar on his face was squeezed even more hideous. Let him say what? He is a crippled man, and all he can do is take care of the county lord. But now that he was named, he couldn't help but speak.
"Brother Ji, the girl is listening. You're just too impatient. Brother Chen, you have been with the girl for the longest time, what is your opinion? ”
As soon as Chen Xiao heard that he was named, he immediately straightened his body and cleared his throat. "The girl has already made a decision on this matter, we don't need to be impatient, we all listen to the girl's arrangement."
Xia Wanhua still held her cheek with her right hand, and stretched out her left hand to signal Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao hurriedly shut up.
"Daifuku, let me ask you something." Xia Wanhua looked at Ji Dafu.
"Girl, you ask." Ji Dafu's voice is loud, which is commensurate with his chubby figure.
"Did Qiu Changkai send tax money to Kyoto this year?"
"Tax silver? Send a fart! He hasn't sent it for three years in a row! I heard from the government that Zhou Changhuai urged and urged, and Qiu Changkai just dragged it. ”
"Daifuku, be careful with your words." Chen Xiao reminded in a low voice on the side.
Ji Dafu slapped his head. "Don't mind, girl, Ji Dafu is a rough man! Born in the army, I just can't control this broken mouth! After saying that, he slapped himself on the mouth a few times.
Xia Wanhua smiled. "It doesn't matter. Starting tomorrow, you will call me the late Chinese son. Father, you can ask someone to help me cut some men's clothes. I'm going to visit the North Country Pavilion in two days. ”
"The Northland Pavilion?" Ji Dafu's eyes widened. "Girl, no, childe, then you don't need to go to the Northern Pavilion. Since Kyoto Hanzhao established the Southern Dynasty Sai, there are not many people in this northern country pavilion. Those scholars have all gone to Kyoto, and there are no more students in Kunzawa City. ”
"Really? Then I'm going to check it out. As for Qiu Changkai's matter, you don't have to worry, in a few days I will let him spit out the grain intact, and double it! ”
"By the way, Daifuku, you have more time to contact the Kunze City Garrison Guards. In the future, we will have a place for others. ”
Hearing Xia Wanhua's order, Ji Dafu grinned. "The subordinate understood. Childe rest assured, Ji Dafu will definitely entertain those eight lambs. ”
Xia Wanhua shook her head and smiled.
When Ji Dafu and Chen Xiao both retreated, Cui Yu came to Xia Wanhua and asked in a low voice: "The girl wants to rectify the Northern Pavilion?" ”
Xia Wanhua nodded expressionlessly.
"Although that group of literati is not sour, there are some places that need this kind of sour people." Xia Wanhua pointed to the house. "Kunze City is like this house, it has been old for so many years, it has to be replaced."
"Childe is very right. However, there was something that the old slave did not understand. ”
"What's the matter?"
"About the arrangements over there."
Xia Wanhua glanced at Cui Yu. "Are you afraid that Yue Shan's side will not be subject to the military orders outside?"
"The old slave's life was saved by General Shen, and the old slave never doubted General Shen's loyalty. But General Shen is too upright, and sometimes he is afraid that he will not be able to control the people below. ”
"Father Zhong, no wonder the Emperor Daxing has to ask you about everything, your eyes are too poisonous!" Xia Wanhua stood up and said as she walked. "General Shen, I have also considered it, but I have to wait, there is a lack of time. When the time comes, I'll find him a good assistant. ”
"It seems that the old slave is too worried." Cui Yu bowed down.
"No, my father has thought it all for me, and I can't thank you enough. Actually, I want to ask the middle father, King Pingcheng Rong, do you know? Xia Wanhua turned around and asked Cui Yu.
Cui Yu didn't expect Xia Wanhua to suddenly ask King Rong and hesitated.
"King Rong is far away in Pingcheng and rarely comes to Kunze City. I've dealt with it a few times over the years. He can't get any ideas except for being a martial artist, and he's a master who is afraid of his wife. This is the princess's mansion or the princess's words. By the way, King Rong has no son, he only has a daughter. ”
"No son?" Xia Wanhua immediately became suspicious. "Who will inherit the throne of King Narong in the future?"
"In the early years, King Rong did not invite the prince. Later, Zhou Changhuai made a rebellion, and King Rong also took advantage of the situation to establish himself as the king, and he didn't have to ask for a seal. But he still never had a son. ”
Xia Wanhua blinked her eyes wide, and Rong Zhao's peerless face came to mind. "Aren't King Rong's sons and nephews outstanding?"
"Yes. Rong Zhao, the eldest son of King Rong's half-brother, is now twenty-six years old. He once led his troops to repel the Mobei cavalry and drove the Mobei cavalry out of Changyang Mountain. King Rong was able to breathe. ”
"Really?" Xia Wanhua raised her eyebrows and asked Cui Yu seriously: "That little white face is so powerful?" But King Rong asked him to be a proton! How did King Rong grow this brain? ”
Cui Yu smiled disdainfully. "No matter how long he is, it's good for us."
Xia Wanhua couldn't help but feel a little regretful. "Father, I seem to have done something wrong. I actually rejected this overture. Regret it! ”
"Childe knows Rong Zhao?"
"Hmm. In the Xu family. He said that he had nothing to do with the Rong family anymore. He seemed to be very resentful of the Rong family for sending him to Zhou Changhuai to be a proton. But I'm afraid he's lying to me. Xia Wanhua rubbed her hands and pondered.
Being a proton is basically given up by the family.
"If Rong Zhaoken is on Childe's side, Childe will be one more fierce general! It is better to send someone to tempt him. ”
Listening to Cui Yu's words, Xia Wanhua nodded, but then said: "It's okay to be tempted, but you can't hurt the harmony." Don't end up being mortal enemies, that's not good. I originally wanted to get Xu Qingfang's third son, Xu Li, to Kunze City and win him over, but now it seems that I don't need it. If we have Rong Zhao, we will take Kunze City, connect it with Yueshan, encircle and suppress Qiu Changkai, and the northwest will be under our control. ”
"Although the son is young, he has the legacy of King Chun."
"Really? Xu Qingfang also said that I am like my father. Xia Wanhua pouted and smiled. It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. Father, I have been bored in the Xu family for the past few years, and I don't know much about the outside world, and I still need you to take care of me more about many things. ”
"The old slave will not fail in his mission!" Cui Yu bowed down.
Xia Wanhua smiled faintly and walked in the direction of his boudoir.
