Chapter 227: Chu Zi's Scheme
The eyes of the Chu family are not big, and the eyes of the head of the Chu family are especially small.
When he squinted his eyes and smiled, Xiao Yuan could only see two slits.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Ah Chou often mentions His Royal Highness's ambitions with a certain person."
Xiao Yuan looked at Chu Qi when he was on the ground, Chu Qi looked calm and nodded lightly at her.
Xiao Yuan's heart was put down.
Chu Qi is too smart, and her thoughts and thoughts can't be hidden from Chu Qi.
Chu Qi once told her that the Chu family would be her strong backing.
Although she understood at that time that Chu Qi's weight in the Chu family was not light, she did not have much hope. As long as the Chu family does not oppose her in the future, she will recite Amitabha.
Otherwise, such a century-old family really wants to stumble on her, and Xiao Yuan will have a headache to deal with.
Now, looking at Chu Qi's expression, the Chu family will not embarrass her, and maybe, as Chu Qi said, stand on her side.
"Chuzi," she bowed slightly, maintaining the dignity of the princess appropriately, "I don't like to sell Guanzi, Ah Qi is my confidant and friend, what I said with Ah Qi is from the bottom of my heart, and it is not half false." ”
Chu Qi looked at Xiao Yuan for a long time, and those small eyes were bright, which actually made Xiao Yuan feel that these eyes had become bigger.
"Your Highness, don't be strange, you have always been suspicious."
Chu Qi unabashedly pointed out his own fault, which was to get close to Xiao Yuan.
"As soon as the news of the imperial court's enlightenment came out, I wanted to meet with the princess, in order to make a guarantee with the princess."
"What does Chuzi want?"
Chu Qi was very satisfied, the tenth princess was a smart person, and it was not difficult to talk to a smart person at all. As the head of the Chu family, since he showed sincerity and showed the tenth princess that no matter what in the future, he would stand on the side of the tenth princess, of course, he also hoped that the tenth princess would be sincere.
If the Tenth Princess had just asked him "what guarantee", then Chu Qi would have to re-weigh the weight of the Tenth Princess and her person in Dayan, as well as the weight of Chu Qi in the Tenth Princess's mind.
Now the two parties don't point it out clearly, but they both know each other, which is good.
Chu Qi spoke more and more gently: "Your Highness, a certain plan will also be of great benefit to Your Highness in the future." ”
He moved forward and knelt on the futon uprightly: "I consulted with the elders of various clans in the clan, and selected sixteen sons and daughters with excellent knowledge and conduct at home, and wanted to borrow the hands of the princess to place these sixteen children of the Chu family among the gentlemen of the academies in various places. Princess, is this feasible? ”
Xiao Yuan nodded vigorously, feasible, so feasible!
As long as the Chu family has always been on her side, the greater the power of the children of the Chu family above the court, the better.
Nowadays, there is only one Mr. Chu in the Chu family, and the rest of the children uphold the arrogance of the children of the family, and they all practice the six arts of a gentleman at home behind closed doors. Only a few concubines went out to take care of the housework, and the huge Chu family could be regarded as maintaining the dignity of the family.
If according to Chu Qi's proposal, these sixteen children of the Chu family are placed in various places, whether they are the gentlemen of the academy, the head of the mountain, or the greatest, the superintendent, then half of the scholars in Dayan will be disciples of the Chu family. In the future, if she has any action in this regard, she will easily gain a large amount of support.
This time I came to the Chu family, it was really not in vain.
"What Chu Zi said is exactly what I want."
Xiao Yuanhao took off a piece of beautiful jade from his waist and slapped it into Chu Qi's hand: "This is a token." ”
Chu Qi smiled and untied his peiyu, and together with a piece of silk cloth in his sleeve, he gave it to Xiao Yuanhao: "Your Highness, these are the names of the sixteen Chu family sons and daughters discussed this time. ”
Xiao Yuanhao unfolded it and glanced at it, then put the silk cloth and Chu Qi Peiyu in the purse he carried with him: "Chu Zi, I want to talk to you." This time, the selection of Mr. for the college is subject to assessment. If these sixteen people fail to pass the assessment, even if I come forward, I am afraid that my father will not let go of them. ”
Chu Qi promised: "Your Highness, rest assured, these sixteen people are the best sons of the Chu family, and I promise that I will not lose the face of Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Xiao Yuan was stunned, Chu Qi said this, how could he faintly claim to be a princess's retainer? She is only seven years old, not yet the age of leaving the palace to open a mansion, and Chu Qi's attitude is too humble.
Come to think of it, Chu Qi has a lot to do with her.
It's no wonder that there are no girls in the Chu family who enter the palace to serve the king, and only one Mr. Chu teaches the princesses to read in the palace.
The Chu family also has no chance to get close to the other sons, and now that they can rely on Chu Qi's relationship to climb to the princess, they naturally have to grasp it well.
The king obviously no longer wants to be the queen, so the tenth princess is the only lineage. Although there is no precedent for a woman to be the monarch of Dayan, Princess Yan can influence the choice of the future monarch. hugged the big tree of Princess Yan, are you still worried that you can't catch up with the future monarch?
Chu Qi was very happy, and even hummed a little song when he went out, not to mention, the tune was quite good.
"Ah, your head of the family is quite flexible. Why don't you become an official if you are so flexible? ”
Chu Qi's face was expressionless: "The head of the family came to the capital from the countryside, and he didn't have much knowledge. He said that he was afraid that he would go out to be an official and lose the face of the Chu family. ”
"Which country place?" Xiao Yuan didn't see it at all, this Chu Qi didn't look like an old man who had never seen the world.
"My hometown." Chu Qi seemed reluctant to talk more, and quickly took the topic elsewhere.
Later, he was annoyed by Xiao Yuanhao's question, so he said: "If Your Highness wants to go, you can go out of the palace and open the mansion in the future, don't take it with you." ”
When she was a child, she went to the Chu family's hometown to worship her ancestors, and was arched all over by two big fat pigs, and since then she never wants to go back to her hometown, preferring to stay in the capital and be ridiculed as a saltless girl.
Xiao Yuan was fortunate to spend a day in the Chu family, and only returned to the Dingguo Mansion after eating food, and was surprised to learn that Sun Chi and Qi Yuanniang were going to leave tomorrow.
"Why did my uncle and aunt go in such a hurry? It's better to go again in the spring, when the weather is not cold, and the road is easy to walk. ”
Xu touched Xiao Yuan's little head lovingly: "The king has made another will today to urge your uncle." ”
Is Xiao Qian so anxious about the Dayan Water Affair? You can't wait for a few days.
Xiao Yuan went back to the house in a huff, watching Su Su curling up her things, Sun Chi and his wife will leave tomorrow, and she can't stay outside the palace.
Sun Chi and Qi Yuanniang really love her as their own flesh and blood, and when they go, they don't know when they will be able to return, so the things they gave her are full of piles in a room.
Xiao Yuan casually took out a silver incense ball from a box and played with it, but I don't know which switch was touched, and the small ball was opened, revealing a few petals of spices inside.
The tortoiseshell passed by and smiled: "This is the handiwork of the prince again, right?" The prince's hands are so skillful, the maidservant once saw a few boxes from the queen, and they had to be opened with a mechanism. At that time, the maid still thought it was novel and interesting, and took a few more looks. When the queen saw it, she said that the boxes were made by the prince. ”
