After getting rid of Ding Changshi, Yan Shouzhan was satisfied.

He ran to Shaw to show off.

"Ding Changshou is no longer a problem. Ten days later, you will go with them to Beijing. Remember to bring Yunqi and Yunge with you. ”

Xiao Shi glanced at him, "I don't need to be reminded by Master Hou, I will also bring Yun Qi, Yun Ge." I'm leaving, leaving their sisters in the Hou Mansion, I don't feel at ease. Don't wait for me to come back, my life will be gone. ”

Yan Shouzhan sighed twice, "Madame regards the Hou Mansion as a tiger's den in Longtan!" With Yun Ge's temper, who can touch her? She should be thankful that she doesn't provoke others. ”

Xiao Shi sneered, "Is it a shame for Master Hou to say this?" Yun Ge's temper is explosive, she is also a child, except for her strength is a little greater than that of ordinary people, she has no other means of self-protection. Someone is determined to harm her, and there is always a chance to succeed. Could it be that Hou Ye had forgotten how Yun Ge's throat was hurt, and why she couldn't speak. ”

When he mentioned this, Yan Shouzhan's eyes fluttered, and he was obviously weak.

He used strong words, "Yun Ge's voice is an accident. Besides, how many years ago, Mrs. is here to dig through old accounts, what's the matter, the conditions given by Ben Hou still can't meet you? ”

Xiao sneered: "A little money, a few gifts will be gone." In the palace from His Majesty downwards, the queen, several old princes of the clan, all the ministers of the court, plus the daily expenses in the capital, the Hou Ye will calculate, is the money you give enough? ”

Yan Shouzhan was unhappy, "What does Madam want Benhou to do?" Hollow out all your family resources and let you take them all to the capital? ”

Xiao Shi was silent for a moment, "A few Tufu in the hands of Master Hou ......"

Yan Shouzhan's face changed, and he scolded sharply, "Nonsense! Ben Hou is a dignified Wei general, where did he come from. ”

Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes sneering.

Yan Shouzhan has so many soldiers and generals under him, and he can't afford to rely on local taxes alone.

The money in his hand, others don't know how it came from, but Xiao Shi knows it clearly.

Others thought that Yan Shouzhan had really found a gold mine in the mountains, but they didn't know that he was digging people's ancestral graves at all.

She was not afraid of him, and said calmly: "Master Hou doesn't have to be nervous!" I asked Master Hou if he wanted someone, he was planning to mine. When it comes to exploring ore veins, no one else can do it, so you can only rely on Tufuzi. ”

Yan Shouzhan raised his eyebrows, "Exploring ore veins? Madame, didn't you lie to me? Where did Madame come from? ”

Xiao said solemnly: "The cost of going to the capital here is very huge, and the return date is uncertain. I remembered that when my grandfather was alive, he gave me a fief. It is rumored that there are mines in the fiefdom. I used to be busy with internal affairs, and I didn't have the heart to go to the fiefdom to take a look. This time back in the capital, I plan to send someone to the fiefdom to investigate whether there is really a mine. If I can dig out the minerals, I will have a source of expenses in the capital, and I will not be afraid of running out of money to spend if I stay in the capital for another half a year. ”

Yan Shouzhan frowned, "What does Madam mean, she plans to live in the capital for a long time and not come back?" ”

Xiao Shi smiled softly, "The prince misunderstood. I have been away from Beijing for 20 years, and it is rare to have the opportunity to return to Beijing to visit relatives, so I naturally want to stay longer. I also have a mansion in the capital, which was given to me by my grandfather before his death, and I have never lived in it. ”

Yan Shouzhan sneered, "What are Madame's plans, you might as well say it directly." ”

Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, "Why does Master Hou bother to spend my belly with the heart of a villain." ”

"There's no need to go around in circles between us. Madame has any request, just ask. ”

Xiao Shi stared at him and said with a serious face: "It's time for Erlang to lead the troops." ”

Sure enough, he was asking for benefits for his son.

Yan Shouzhan smiled, "Benhou doesn't let him lead the troops, what will happen to Madame?" ”

"It won't be how! At most, I felt uncomfortable, and when I arrived in the capital, due to physical reasons, I couldn't run for Hou Ye and deal with the relationship between all parties. ”

Syllable!

Yan Shouzhan put the teacup down, and the lid of the cup jumped and made a sound.

His face was not good, "Madame is threatening Ben Hou?" ”

Xiao Shi said seriously: "We are husband and wife, Erlang is also the child of Hou Ye, and he is still the son-in-law, how can Hou Ye favor one over the other." I don't know where Erlang is not as good as Da Lang, and Hou Ye is reluctant to let Erlang lead the troops? ”

Yan Shouzhan sneered, "Madam is really scheming, this will talk to me about the conditions." If I don't say yes, you're going to do my good. You are not afraid, Benhou will turn his face and not let you go to the capital. ”

"Good! I'm not so happy to go to the capital either. Hou Ye might as well let the Chen family go to the capital for you. I'm afraid she can't even figure out which direction the palace door opens. ”

Xiao Shi looked at Yan Shouzhan with a smile.

Yan Shouzhan's face sank, and his heart burned with anger.

Xiao Shi drank tea leisurely, she was not in a hurry.

The person who is really anxious is Yan Shouzhan.

The person who goes to the capital can only be her, but her.

Her surname is Xiao, the daughter of the prince of 'Zhang Yi'.

Although the identity is embarrassing, it also has advantages that others can't match.

In the capital, she is familiar with the land, and the people are even more familiar!

In the palace and court, among ten people, there are always five or six old faces.

If the Chen family goes to the capital, even if it is in the name of Yan Shouzhan, others will not see it if they don't see it.

For her, she didn't need Yan Shouzhan's name post, just handed her own greeting post, whether it was a royal family member or a high-ranking official and dignitary, she had to open the door to welcome her in.

It doesn't matter if it's sincere.

Her identity is enough to make her unimpeded in the capital.

At least on the surface, no one will blatantly deny her face.

Unless it is the two hundred and five stunned young people, the sworn enemy of the year, they will work against her everywhere.

That's what she's confident about.

Yan Shouzhan bared his teeth, and his heart and liver ached.

"Madame is a good means, Benhou is willing to bow down."

"Each other! After so many years of idle anger, I have to let out my anger. ”

Xiao Shi was not polite.

Yan Shouzhan smiled angrily, "I thought Madame would take the opportunity to target Chen's mother and son?" ”

Xiao Shi seemed to smile, "In the eyes of Master Hou, I am such a childish woman?" It's just a Chen, I haven't paid attention to it yet. ”

"Madame is generous!" Yan Shouzhan laughed.

Xiao knocked on the table and reminded Yan Shouzhan, "Master Hou hasn't promised me yet, do you want Erlang to lead the troops?" ”

"Okay, as long as Erlang has the ability to lead the troops, Ben Hou will absolutely treat Dalang equally."

"I hope that Hou Ye really treats everyone equally. If I were to know that during the days when I was not in the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye treated Erlang badly, I would not be polite to the Hou Ye. ”

"Madame, don't worry, Ben Hou is hard to chase after him! Da Lang and Erlang are both the sons of Ben Hou, and Ben Hou guarantees that a bowl of water is even. ”

Don't take a man's words seriously.

However, Yan Shouzhan can do what he promised, which is enough.

Xiao didn't embarrass him too much, "Now, can Master Hou agree to lend me Tufuzi?" ”

"Ben Hou has no Tufuzi by his side, only the three captains."

"Then borrow the lieutenant next to Hou Ye."

"Well said!"

The husband and wife reached the terms and were satisfied with each other.

……

The Xiao family is about to go to the capital, and the happiest person in the house is none other than the side lady Chen.

As soon as Xiao left, she was the wife of the house.

She had been looking forward to this day for twenty years, and finally she had waited for it.

She pretended to be a gift, and went to the main room to visit Xiao Shi and send Cheng Yi.

"Knowing that my wife is about to bring the second girl and the fourth girl to Beijing, I am extremely reluctant."

Xiao Shi scolded her, "You are so reluctant to let Mrs. Ben leave, Mrs. Ben might as well stay, and we will continue to be companions under one roof." ”

Mrs. Chen's face changed, so embarrassed.

She smiled wryly, "How can Madam delay the big event of the Hou Ye for me, that's not good, absolutely not." It's still important to go to Beijing. ”

Xiao Shi showed a mocking look on his face, "You have a heart!" Stand down, Mrs. Ben is busy counting her luggage and has no time to talk. ”

This, this, this......

Don't give any face.

Chen held back his anger, "I specially picked out a few items and gave them to my wife and two girls. I hope Madame doesn't dislike it. ”

"What you sent are all good things you took from Master Hou, how can Mrs. Ben dislike them."

That's a really ugly thing to say.

Mrs. Chen couldn't stay for a second, and she didn't drink any tea, so she said goodbye, so she left the main room with her subordinates.

Xiao Shi thought that the things sent by Chen were not to his liking, and instructed his subordinates, "Take the things sent by Chen to the outer courtyard, and exchange all the things in the account room for gold and silver." ”

The subordinate looked confused, "Madam, is this appropriate?" ”

Xiao said casually: "Nothing inappropriate. If Mrs. Ben remembers correctly, these jade lacquerware sent by the Chen family were all rewarded to her by the Hou Ye. The bookkeeper knew the value of these things, and exchanged them for gold and silver for easy carrying. If the account room does not follow, take Mrs. Ben's name card and go directly to the Hou Ye to exchange it. ”

"Slaves obey!"

The account office really didn't give the exchange.

The matter stabbed in front of Yan Shouzhan.

Yan Shouzhan looked at the object that rewarded the Chen family, and returned to him, the taste was indescribable, and finally pinched his nose and endured it.

He asked the bookkeeper to exchange several pieces of jade and lacquerware for gold and silver.

I thought to myself, put up with her for a few days.

When she leaves for the capital, everything will be back to normal.
