Hearing what Old Madam Feng said, Tao took the opportunity to glance at Jiang Zhiming, then moved his gaze back, smiled at Old Madam Feng who was sitting beside him, and said.

"Mother is right, after Hua Rongshun marries into the Liu family smoothly, the daughter-in-law should also prepare for Brother Zhiming's marriage. It's just that the girl of the Gu family is too young, if she marries the girl like this, it will not be of any benefit to inherit the family!

I simply went to the Gu family first, and told the eldest lady of the Gu family about this marriage, and when the Gu family girl passed the age of hairpin, I would talk about the marriage, what did my mother think?"

What Tao thought in his heart was not much different from what he thought in his heart, and Old Madam Feng did not object, and immediately said.

"What my daughter-in-law said is very good, when I return home, I will call the master and pick a good day and an auspicious day, you accompany me, go to the Gu family, and decide the marriage between the Gu family girl and Brother Zhiming. decided on the marriage of the two of them, knowing that his brother could also restrain his mind, and he had made some progress in his career. ”

Old Madam Feng said, hurriedly took Jiang Zhiming's hand on the side, glanced at him, and gestured.

"Brother Zhiming, now that your mother has accepted this marriage, why don't you thank her? Still waiting for her? After the Gu family girl marries, you must explain the girl well, and don't neglect your mother. ”

Jiang Zhiming understood the meaning of Mrs. Feng's words, and before he could speak, he picked up the Tao beside him, knelt down and said, "Son, thank you mother for your success!" Please rest assured that after Tang'er marries into the house, I will definitely make friends with Tang'er again and again, so that Tang'er will always be by her mother's side and serve her mother. ”

Tao knew that Jiang Zhiming was intending to reconcile with her, so she simply responded, personally helped Jiang Zhiming who was kneeling on the ground, patted the dust on his knees, and replied with a smile.

"Brother Zhiming, if you can save your mother some snacks in the future, your mother will be thankful. After the Gu girl gets married, if she does a good job and has the appearance of a daughter-in-law, I will not embarrass her too much. ”

Listening to Tao's personal response to this matter, Jiang Zhiming's heart that had been hanging for this matter was finally able to really let go at this moment.

His mother agreed to him marrying Tang'er into the house, and also promised him to go to the Gu family to marry, and after two years, Tang'er passed the year of the hairpin, and he could smoothly marry her into the house. He has been running for a long time in order to be able to marry Tang'er smoothly, and he can finally rest at this moment.

After a while, Jiang Zhiming had finished dinner, and Tao instructed Xiang's mother to take Jiang Zhiming around the City God Temple. The Tao family has important matters to discuss with Jiang Haiyang and Mrs. Feng.

After retiring the maids who were waiting in the house, and ordering the little maids who came with them to guard in front of the courtyard gate, Tao took Jiang Haiyang and Mrs. Feng to the inner room. The soundproofing of this room is excellent, because there is an outer room, even if someone wants to eavesdrop, they can't hear anything.

Tao sat on the soft couch in the room, holding the hot tea cup handed by the maid, and before he lifted the tea lid and took a sip, he said to Mrs. Feng and Jiang Haiyang.

"Mother, lord, sooner or later, the Liu family in Dingyang will be involved in the turmoil of the prince, His Majesty intends to set up the eldest son of Concubine Liu Yuan as the crown prince, but the queen gave birth to the second son, although the queen retreated to Kunning Palace, but the second son of the emperor, after all, is a serious son-in-law!

The courtiers in the court, who are not accustomed to seeing the Liu family's power, have already gone up to his majesty. If the second son of the emperor is appointed as the crown prince, we have in-laws with the Liu family, and if his family is in trouble in the future, we will definitely be implicated. ”

"The meaning of the daughter-in-law's words, can you guarantee that the crown prince must be the second son of the emperor? Concubine Liu Yuanfei favors the sixth palace, the queen is already in vain, in this turmoil, I am afraid that the queen is powerless, and she can't compete for Concubine Liu Yuan! Jiang Haiyang looked at Tao in front of him, and he had scruples in his heart.

Although the Dingwu Marquis Mansion is far away from the emperor, the news is very well-informed, the meaning of His Majesty in the palace, the position of the prince, I am afraid that it is already the eldest son of the emperor.

Now it is just that he is afraid of the ministers in the court and the queen's mother's family, so His Majesty has not announced to the world that the emperor's eldest son is the crown prince.

Old Madam Feng seemed to think of something, put down the teacup in her hand, and said.

"No matter who Your Majesty appoints as the crown prince in the end, the queen is always the mother of the new emperor, and she is the queen mother, and the queen really can't compete with Concubine Liu Yuan for a while. Now that His Majesty has the heart to establish a prince, maybe he will abolish the prince again in the future? ”

"No, Mother. Your Majesty will not abolish the crown prince, Your Majesty's body was not good when it came out more than half a year ago, and now that it has been delayed for so long, I am afraid that it will be even worse. Setting up the crown prince early can not only allow His Majesty to recuperate with peace of mind, but also stabilize the country. Tao said, glanced at Jiang Haiyang beside him, and said lightly.

"It's just that I'm worried that if Your Majesty doesn't appoint the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince, in terms of today's concubine, she will definitely be unwilling, if the concubine is ruthless and learns from Your Majesty, what can I do? When the time comes, I am afraid that our Hou Mansion will not be able to get rid of it. ”

Tao has always been jealous in his heart, if Jiang Huarong is married, then the Liu family and the Jiang family are in-laws.

At that time, if the Liu family does something rebellious, I am afraid that the Jiang family will not want to completely clean up this matter.

In her heart, she was shaken by the marriage that Jiang Huarong promised to the eldest son of the Liu family.

Today's Liu family seems to be full of wealth, but who can know how many days there are left?

"According to your meaning, are you unwilling to marry Hua Rong to the Liu family? Mrs. Liu came to hire her in person, if we regret the marriage, not to mention that it will affect Huarong's reputation, and the reputation of our Hou Mansion will also be damaged. ”

Jiang Haiyang didn't want the Tao family to repent of his marriage, but he was afraid that the Liu family would lose power in the future and implicate them. Jiang Haiyang had discussed with Tao countless times for this matter, but Tao had not made up his mind, so he accompanied Tao to discuss with Mrs. Feng.

Old Madam Feng thought about it in her heart for a long time, and finally sighed, and said: "The eldest lady of the Liu family has already come to hire her in person, and our family cannot return this marriage between Huarong and the eldest son of the Liu family."

In the future, Huarong will marry into the Liu family, and that will be the people of the Liu family, even if the Liu family loses power in the future, it will not involve us. The daughter who marries out, the water that is spilled, who of you has ever seen the water that can be taken back? Hua Rong married the Liu family, and her life and death were all determined by the Liu family. ”

Old Madam Feng knew that she was a little sorry for her granddaughter when she said this, but as long as she could do it for the good of the Hou Mansion and for the good of Brother Ming'er in the future, she would do it.

In the future, even if the Liu family is knocked down in the Lichu turmoil and loses power, it has nothing to do with their Hou Mansion.

In the Shangzhen Hall here, Mrs. Liu invited the abbot of the Chenghuang Temple to give a lecture alone, and Mrs. Liu was worried that Liu Xijun was lost in the temple, so she told Liu Xijun to sit beside her.

"Master, a few days ago, I took that person's birthday and came over to see it, what do you think? What is that man's personality like?" The eldest lady of the Liu family instructed the maid to keep an eye outside, while she asked about the abbot of the Chenghuang Temple in the meditation room.

"Mrs. Liu, I can't hide it, the old man has already seen the eight characters of his birthday, but the number of lives of that person is too unusual, and the old slave has been thinking about it for half a month, and he hasn't come up with a reason. Please also forgive Mrs. Liu. ”

An old monk in gray cloth monk's robe knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and muttered back to the words of the eldest lady of the Liu family.

The old monk in front of him is the abbot master of the City God Temple. Seeing that he couldn't answer clearly, Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked a few more questions.

"Master, you must know who the birth date is, right? Since this matter was ordered by the palace, I don't want to pass on the master's words back, and the people ask the master to think of ideas! ”

"If the old man's guess is correct, the birthday eight characters that the eldest lady brought over are His Royal Highness King Rui in the palace, right? His Royal Highness King Rui is the eldest son of His Majesty, and his life is naturally unspeakably precious, I don't know if the eldest lady brought it over and asked Lao Gao, what do you want to know from Lao Gao?"

The old monk still closed his eyes, turned his back to Mrs. Liu, and asked a few words lightly.

"Since the master guessed that the eight characters of the birthday are His Royal Highness King Rui in the palace, he should naturally know what the women want to ask.

The turmoil in the capital has been going on for more than half a month, and His Majesty wants to make the eldest son of the emperor the crown prince, but the queen's concubine is still there, and His Majesty does not dare to cross the ministers, so the matter has been delayed for a long time. ”

The reason why Mrs. Liu said so unabashedly was that she naturally knew that the old monk was an understanding person, otherwise the incense in this city god temple would far exceed those temples in the city.

Behind the City God Temple, there is the government behind him as a backer, and almost half of the sesame oil money a year is to be presented to the government. Therefore, the incense of this City God Temple will become more and more vigorous.

"The eldest lady is so sure, will Your Majesty definitely make the eldest son of the emperor the crown prince? King Rui's life, Lao Wei has already seen it, although it is unspeakably expensive, but it cannot be compared with the life of the Son of Heaven. If you want to sit on the throne of the crown prince, I'm afraid it's too early! ”

Speaking of this, the old monk suddenly put his hands together and made a "please" motion.

"Big lady, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, there is only so much that the old man can say. If the eldest lady wants to know if the person who finally ascended to the throne of the crown prince is the eldest son of the emperor? The eldest lady is just keeping an eye on the news in Kyori, right?"

As soon as the old monk's words fell, the little novice with a spirit came out of the corner and personally carried the eldest lady of the Liu family out of the meditation room.

Seeing Mrs. Liu come out of the meditation room, Liu Xijun, who had been staying outside the meditation room, hurriedly greeted him, patted the dust on Mrs. Liu's shoulder, and said.

"Mother, what did the old monk say? Is His Royal Highness King Rui the True Dragon's Life? If King Narui is not the life of a real dragon, our Liu family can't listen to Aunt Yuan's words and smash the entire Liu family into the turmoil of Na Lichu. ”

Looking at the smoky meditation room behind her and the sound of Buddha, Mrs. Liu sighed and helped Liu Xijun beside her and said:

"The master didn't say it explicitly, and I don't know. If King Narui is really the life of the real dragon, we can smash this Liu family into it and support King Rui to get the crown prince, but what if King Narui is not the life of the real dragon? The Liu family has been smashed in, and in the future, we will raid the family and exterminate the clan, and our Liu family will really die. ”

"What nonsense is my mother talking about? How could our Liu family raid the family and exterminate the clan? Aunt Yuan Concubine is the one who accompanied His Majesty all the way from the Qiandi to his heart, and gave birth to His Majesty's first son after he ascended the throne, that is the son of a great noble! If you don't make King Rui the crown prince, who should be the crown prince?"

Originally, the eldest wife of the Liu family was not allowed to let Liu Xijun get involved in these court matters, but Liu Xijun was concerned about the Liu family, and the eldest wife of the Liu family did not shy away from it, and told her.

Seeing that her daughter looked like she was bound to win, Mrs. Liu sighed a few more times and said lightly.

"Hee-kun! People's hearts are unpredictable, let alone Tianxin. It's your Aunt Yuanfei, and I don't know what Your Majesty has in mind? And the queen is a concubine, so didn't that generation set up a concubine as the prince?"

"Mother, you are so worried. Our Majesty, this throne came from the wrong way at the beginning, and now, isn't it also a virtuous monarch praised by everyone? What if King Narui is a concubine, what about a concubine, who is the prince, not by background, reliable brain! ”

Liu Xijun finished talking, smiled at Mrs. Liu, and ordered the girl to send Mrs. Liu down to go.

Looking at the carriage of the Dingwu Marquis's house, Liu Xijun knew that Jiang Zhiming's house had not yet left the temple. teased her in front of so many people before, compared to him, if you bump into him again, you must clean up a good meal to relieve your anger!

After a while, Liu Xijun instructed the little novice who was waiting in the temple to find the location of the private room of the Dingwu Marquis's Mansion, and she sat under the porch outside the house, watching every move in the opposite room.

Jiang Zhiming was not in the house, but on the corridor outside the house, as if he had something in his heart, and walked over under the porch.

called the little novice who swept the floor in the courtyard, and Liu Xijun ordered: "Little monk, go and talk to the son opposite, just say that there is a girl who wants to see him, I wonder if he wants to see him?"

Liu Xijun said, gave the purse he was carrying to the little novice who handed over the words, and explained that he was going to hand it over to Jiang Zhiming.

After a while, Xiao Shami swept the floor and handed the purse to Jiang Zhiming's hand.

"Gongzi of the Jiang family, that girl said, this purse must be handed over to you in person, please open it and take a look at it yourself!"

Jiang Zhiming picked up the purse in his hand and took a closer look, as if he had seen this red envelope somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything. He glanced in the direction of the little novice's finger and looked to the other side, but he didn't see anything.

Could it be that someone deliberately took a purse and tricked him?
