Sitting in the carriage, Zhiwan was still thinking about how to please the emperor, not only showing no traces, but also expressing admiration, the difficulty seems to be more than a little bigger, you know, the emperor has always been the one who was robbed!

Just as she was thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped, and her left shoulder hit the car with a shock, and she bared her teeth in pain.

"How did you catch the car?"

Poria lifted the curtain of the car to count the cold wood, but saw a girl sitting on the back of a snow-white horse in the sun, heroic and cool, but dignified and elegant.

Zhiwan frowned, she was stopped by someone, she was still a girl, I don't know who it is?

Leng Mu said unhappily, "Trouble the girl to give way." ”

The girl held the horsewhip in her hand, held it tightly, and looked at Zhiwan's eyes with suppressed anger, "Count, I should also call you a cousin-in-law, why do you want to kill my father?" ”

A cousin-in-law shouted that she was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Or a girl came out from under a soft sedan on the other side, it was Hou Qingmiao, and she said in surprise, "How did King Yuejun become Miss Xie's cousin?" ”

Surname Xie? If she remembers correctly, Xinguo's surname is Xie.

Xie Xinyu sat on horseback, his eyes scanned around, and he found that there were many onlookers, so he spoke, "I only learned yesterday that King Zhennan was my grandfather's biological son, and he was taken back to the house by the Duchess of Zhenguo when he was born!" King Yuejun is the son of King Zhennan, isn't he my cousin? ”

As soon as the words came out, the whole street gasped.

Xie Xinyu clenched her fists, looked directly at Zhiwan, next to her was a lively person, and asked curiously, "Princess Yuejun, is what she said true or false?" Is the king of Zhennan really the son of the prince of Xinguo? ”

Cold sweat broke out on Leng Mu's forehead, a faint chill ran down his back, and there was a light laugh behind him, and Leng Mu hurriedly got out of the carriage.

Zhiwan got out of the carriage, stood on the wheel, and looked at Xie Xinyu. "Miss Xie, your sister-in-law, forgive me for not daring to be, what is the prince's life experience. I don't know, when the prince returns from the expedition, you call him uncle first, see if he should be, if the prince answers you, you will call me again. ”

Xie Xinyu didn't expect Zhiwan to kick the ball to the prince, and her heart rose and fell with anger, just because King Yuejun stabbed out her father's affairs, her father was imprisoned, and her good family affairs were also retired. She wants them to know that not only will the Xinguo Mansion not be defeated, but it will also flourish in the future, and it is an existence that they cannot climb!

"Sister-in-law, you clearly understand in your heart. Why pretend not to know, grandfather is unwell, you have excellent medical skills, just go back to the mansion with me, right? Xie Xinyu smiled gently.

Knowing the evening but smiling silently, it is a good letter to the country's mansion, and the prince has not yet recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, so he has a problem for her. In case the prince didn't plan to recognize his relatives, as soon as she went to the Guogong Mansion, she would default to what Xie Xinyu said was true, but if she didn't go, in case the prince recognized her relatives in the future, the prince would be unwell. If she misses her condition, she will have to bear a crime in vain.

Before the prince recognized his relatives, she couldn't go to the Xinguo Mansion, "The dignified Xinguo Mansion will not be unable to invite the imperial doctor." Miss Xie, please go back. ”

Zhiwan's attitude was very clear, and after speaking, he got into the carriage, and Leng Mu drove the carriage to continue to move forward, but Xie Xinyu blocked the road and didn't get out of the way at all.

Leng Mu had no choice but to summon the secret guard out and directly lead Xie Xinyu's horse aside.

The carriage slowly ran away, but the shocking news thrown out by Xie Xinyu spread far and wide, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds.

Soon, it spread to the imperial history, to the civil and military officials, and to the ears of Emperor Wenyuan.

Listening to the guard's announcement, Emperor Wen Yuan's eyes almost popped out, "You say it again, who is the father of King Zhennan?!" ”

The guard looked respectful, and said without hurry, "There is a rumor outside, saying that the prince is the biological son of the Duke of Xinguo, and the Duchess of Zhenguo and the Duchess of Xinguo gave birth together in the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, and the Duchess of Zhenguo replaced the children of the two families with ....... ”

After the guards finished speaking, Gonggong Xu waved his hand, and he retreated.

Gonggong Xu looked at Emperor Wenyuan, thought about it again and again, and said, "The first queen is fifty percent similar to the king of Zhennan, and it will not be wrong to be a compatriot of the same mother, if the prince is really the son of the prince of Xinguo, then the prince of Xinguo is not the prince of the country?" ”

The bloodline is so confusing, it is not his own son, not only inherited the country, but also made meritorious achievements, rising step by step, but his biological son is just a four-grade petty official, and the Duchess of Zhenguo is also a wonderful person.

"Go and get Yue'er."

After listening to Emperor Wenyuan's instructions, Gonggong Xu hurriedly went out to summon him.

When Zhiwan returned to the palace, the scene that happened on the street was also transmitted back to the palace, and even the little maids guarding the door were talking to each other, and when they saw Zhiwan getting off the carriage, they hurriedly stood up straight, and looked at her with a strange look.

Poria looked at it and became angry, "What kind of eyes do you have, can't you treat the princess of the county as the master with two gossips?!" Don't forget, this is the Royal Palace! ”

The two little guys trembled in fright, knelt down and begged for mercy, and waved their hands impatiently, "Get up." ”

Everyone has the heart of gossip, and she can't get along with the two little guys, so she steps into the palace.

As soon as she entered the second gate, the princess's personal maid Xia Xiang greeted her, and Ying Yingfu said, "Princess Jun, the princess is invited." ”

Zhiwan nodded his head, and followed Xia Xiang to the Purple Bead Courtyard.

In the main house, the princess, the eldest wife, the third wife and the fourth wife were all there, in addition to them, there were also Ye Jiaoshu and others.

The beads are surrounded by greenery, and they are all together.

Zhiwan stepped in, and after greeting the princess, he asked, "I don't know why the princess came to me?" ”

The princess looked at Zhiwan, and she couldn't say what she felt in her heart, if the prince was really not born to the old lady, then she had nothing to do with the three wives, and in the palace, she and Zhiwan's interests were tied together.

"Aunt Qiu of the Xinguo Mansion talked to you yesterday?" The princess asked aloud.

Zhiwan looked at the princess and nodded her head, "Talk to me." ”

"She said that the prince was not born to the old lady, do you believe it?" The princess asked calmly, but her eyes flashed slightly.

Zhiwan glanced at the fourth lady and kicked the question over, "Yesterday, the seventh sister's maid overheard my conversation with Aunt Qiu, and soon after I went back, the fourth aunt went to see the old lady, whether the prince was born to the old lady, the old lady knows this best, she should ask her, fourth aunt, what do you say?" ”

The fourth lady was a little restless, she didn't want to come at all. But the princess sent Mother Zhao to invite her, she didn't want to give face, and she was worried that they would have some crooked ideas, so this would not come.

At this time, I heard the words of Zhiwan. I can't wait to leave, "I asked the old lady, and the old lady said that the prince was born to her." ”

Zhiwan smiled slightly, "The old lady said no, then it is not, there is no reason to listen to an outsider, not to listen to the old lady." ”

said lightly, but if what Aunt Qiu said was not true, the old lady would have forced the prince to ask him to save Aunt Qiu's son? I don't know if there is a handle in Aunt Qiu's hands?

Kyoto can't find a second one who forced his son to death in order to save an irrelevant outsider. At that time, the prince worked so hard, Yu Shitai dragged the second master Xie and didn't let go, and the prince was scolded by the emperor, so he was exempted from the death penalty of the second master, not long. encountered the emperor's amnesty for the world, which was also the credit of the prince.

The third lady sat there, her eyes gurgling, and she looked at what she was calculating, only to hear her smile and smile, "The princess of the county is right, no one knows this better than the old lady." The old lady said no, then no, in fact, I don't think so, the old lady didn't have a son, when the prince inherited the position of the prince, the fourth lord was also eleven or twelve years old. It doesn't make sense to be cheap outsiders, isn't it? ”

The eldest lady snorted coldly, why did the old lady do this, don't you know it, ten four masters are not as good as a prince, if there is not a prince. The title of the Guogong Mansion is determined to fall on the eldest lord, now it's okay, the fourth lord is alive and well, and he is a descendant, if the prince is removed from the family tree, won't the next patriarch be the fourth master?

It's funny to say, only the patriarch has the right to remove the name, does the prince want to get rid of himself himself?

There is also the title of the prince, does he leave the prince clean, or take the prince away?

If he leaves, what should the emperor do if he doesn't make the fourth master a prince?

Thinking of these, several wives are worried and worried, the girls in the house are all at a good age, are talking about marriage, in the past occupied the reputation of the Zhennan Palace, many people who asked for marriage were rejected, including many of the princes of the county palace, the second son of the prince's mansion, and the young master of the Guogong Mansion...... Pick and choose, eyes are spent.

So that several girls in the mansion have not decided to marry, and now there is news that the prince is not the old lady's biological child, so it has nothing to do with them, the Xinguo Mansion will be willing to deny the prince, and there will be no connivance with Miss Xie blocking the street, doesn't it just want to make everyone know?

If the prince goes on the expedition for a year and a half, those young masters of the family have a wait-and-see attitude, wouldn't it be delayed?

Thinking about it, the wives couldn't sit still.

In a room, except for the evening, only the princess is the most calm and relaxed, serving tea lightly, and comfortable.

At this time, a burst of cheerful footsteps came, and he stepped forward quickly, his eyebrows and eyes crooked with a smile, "Princess, I am very happy, the emperor has appointed the second young master as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he is the fourth rank official." ”

Hearing this, the princess was so shocked that she almost couldn't even hold the tea cup in her hand, "Say it again!" ”

The maid told this matter again, and a flower bloomed on the princess's face, "Reward, Zizhu Courtyard will reward you for two months, and the palace will reward you for one month." ”

Several wives have pantothenic acid in their stomachs, the second room is really a good life, not the kind of the grandfather of the country, but they are all soaring, the prince holds heavy soldiers, the prince of the county has been the king of the county since he was a child, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, and he gave birth to a pair of children, and he was named the king and the lord of the county, and he used to think that the prince was unfair to the second young master, but now that he looks at it again, he is not also very favored, and he was directly named the fourth official, or the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

That is an official directly related to the emperor's safety, and he often walks around in front of the emperor, and it is very easy to be promoted.

The fourth lady sat there, her eyes lit up, and if she mastered the Praetorian Guard, the rebellion would be half successful, which was a good thing!

The fourth wife took the lead in standing up and said congratulations, "Congratulations to sister-in-law Wang, Zhan'er is just a blockbuster!" ”

The princess couldn't close her mouth happily, and sat there at night, remembering what Ye Guiyue said yesterday, and she couldn't say anything about Daoxi.

Several wives congratulated with smiles on their faces, if she didn't congratulate, the princess would definitely be unhappy, and she also stood up and echoed two sentences, at this time Zhao's mother spoke, "Princess, the prince would otherwise interfere in the affairs of Linmoxuan, and he usually doesn't give Linmoxuan a monthly money, this reward?" ”

When the eldest lady heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, she really climbed two steps along the pole, and she ridiculed people, and she didn't look at people Lin Moxuan didn't care about your little money, and said with a smile, "Lin Moxuan is on the water side, do you still care about the money for a month or two, the little prince and the little county king have been awarded." It seems that there is no bounty? ”

The third lady looked at Zhiwan with a smile and said, "I also went to take a look around the water side today, the scenery is good, but the consumption inside is too expensive." Take a shower and pinch your back, two taels of silver will be gone, if you wash your hair and skin care again, it will be ten taels of silver, which is about to catch up with the money, and many ladies propose to let you reduce the price. ”

The princess has a monthly salary of eighty taels, and they have fifty taels, which is only enough for five times, and it hurts to think about it.

Zhiwan smiled lightly and played with the embroidered handkerchief in his hand. "The price is a little more expensive, but what the effect is, the third aunt should know after trying it, otherwise everyone will not go again and again, if it is too expensive. However, if you buy a card, you can use it ten times a month for only 80 taels. ”

When the fourth lady heard this, she became interested, "Is there such a card, why don't I know?" ”

Zhiwan was a little impressive, "When the water side opened." I'm not here, and some places are not well prepared, and they are gradually improving, and they will be there in two days. ”

The wives calculated in their hearts, for women, how important the face is. They are not young, and there are many green and tender little girls in the inner house, and the old men who are very easy to hook drill their quilts, and they have to take care of them once every seven or eight days, and buy one every month. It's enough for myself and my daughter.

Calculate yourself, and then think about so many noble ladies in Kyoto, how much income do you have a month for this alone?

To say the least, there are thirty or forty thousand taels.

The eldest lady glanced at Zhiwan, and said sourly, "In the past few days when the water side has opened the door, more than half of the big and small banquets in the house have been missing, and in previous years, there would be chrysanthemums, why didn't anyone hand over posts this year?" ”

The third lady smiled when she heard this, "Chrysanthemum? There are all kinds of chrysanthemums on the water side, I am afraid that it can be compared with the imperial garden, and everyone would rather go to the water side to touch the cards and take a bubble bath. ”

According to a rough estimate, the ladies who go to play in the water every day are no less than five hundred.

Zhiwan saw them talking about the water side, she was not interested, thinking that she hadn't seen Chen'er Si'er for most of the day when she went out, so she thought about it tightly and said goodbye.

When I returned to Linmoxuan, I saw Bai Xiang sitting under the big tree, embroidering needles and threads, her shoulders twitching and twitching, obviously crying, Bai Shao persuaded, "Don't worry, with the medical skills of the princess of the county, are you afraid that you can't cure the cold stone, and you will be fine." ”

Bai Xiang pouted, wiped his tears and said, "I also know that he will be fine, but there are many wounds on his body, and when I touch it lightly, cold sweat breaks out on his forehead, it must be very painful....... ”

She couldn't bear to look at it, but she couldn't help but want to see it.

Bai Shao understands her, she is engaged, if there are three long and two short, it is not good, thinking of herself, she can't help but feel sad, although she is the big girl next to the girl, but in the end she has worn a wedding dress, even the cypress and bamboo incense have been married, what about her, she hasn't seen him for a long time......

Zhiwan first looked at the child, and then walked to the study, Hibiscus was cleaning up the table, and when he saw Zhiwan coming in, he was busy saluting, and then withdrew.

There is an account book on the desk, which is the income account book on the water side, which is checked every three days.

Zhiwan opened the account book, although it was not the first time I saw it, I was still taken aback by those numbers, there are many rich and noble families in Kyoto.

On the water side, studying, eating, drinking, and having fun are integrated, almost all the young masters of the family love to play, and there are all of them, and the grade is the highest, and it has penetrated into the hearts of the people all of a sudden.

Zhiwan turned over the income of the drunken wind building again, and the income shrank by three percent this month, and it is estimated that the income will shrink by another three percent next month.

The more mid-to-high-end the restaurant, the greater the impact.

Since it is a treat, the more noble the place, the better, otherwise the face is not enough.

Zhiwan flipped through the account books for a long time, and the secret guard in charge of inquiring about the account books appeared quietly in the study, standing there respectfully, waiting for Zhiwan to speak.

Zhiwan raised his eyes and glanced at him, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Except for Yongzhou, can you choose another place to build on the water side?" ”

The dark guard nodded lightly, "It's chosen, there are many cities in the Dayue Dynasty, and the subordinates have picked eighteen cities, and the drawings on the water side have been slightly modified, and the princess of the county will take a look." ”

As he spoke, Bai Shao took a large drawing on the ground, and unfolded it for Zhiwan to see.

According to the drawings depicted, the building on the water side is only four-fifths of the current one, which is not small, after all, there are not as many dignitaries and dignitaries elsewhere as in Kyoto, even if it is smaller.

But the land here is not expensive, and it is okay to be bigger, Zhiwan nodded and said, "It is built according to this, and the rules are according to Kyoto, but it is a lot smaller on the water side." The price of the token is calculated according to the proportion, and the token in Kyoto can enter all the tokens in the water, but those from other places cannot enter Kyoto at will, if they want to enter. To make up the difference, exchange tokens. ”

The dark guard responded, and then said, "At present, the income on the water side is only enough to build one on the water side, where to build it?" ”

Zhiwan closed the account book and said with a smile, "Sooner or later, the fame on the water side will spread throughout Dayue, and the token can be sold in advance." ”

After a little thought, Dark Wei understood the meaning of Zhiwan, just like selling coal before. Book in advance, you can enjoy discounts, such as buying a token of five hundred taels, only four hundred and sixty taels, and many people will buy it.

Knowing the night, let the water side sell it uniformly. Five hundred taels only costs four hundred and fifty taels, that is, four hundred and fifty taels are handed in now, and after three months, you can buy five hundred taels of goods with tokens, and if you are not at ease, you can also go to Kyoto to buy four hundred and eighty taels of goods, in short, you will not lose anything.

Through this method, Zhiwan was able to establish the water side in the eighteen prefectures of the Daeyue Dynasty at the same time, except for Kyoto and Yongzhou.

Wait for the Dark Guard to be ordered to leave. Poria stepped in and looked at Zhiwan hesitantly, "Lord Jun, dinner is ready, Lord Jun hasn't come back yet, can you wait for him?" ”

Zhiwan thought about yesterday and waited until his stomach screamed. He just came back, so he didn't plan to wait for him, and finally thought about it, waited for a cup of tea, and didn't come back. She ate first.

Zhiwan teased and played, the waves swayed straight, the lotus-like little hands were stretched, and she didn't give it to her at night, one to the left, one to the right, and then the little arms to the left and right.

Cypress and Hibiscus brought in a fish tank with colorful pebbles and five or six koi fish in it.

Zhiwan sat on her lap with Si'er in her arms, pointed to the fish in the fish tank and looked at her, her little hands opened and closed happily, and her mouth screamed.

Poria squatted in front of the fish tank, took a small fish pocket and a small wooden stick, and hid the fish in Tibet.

Si'er smiled even more happily, leaning forward to ask for something in Poria's hand.

Mother Zheng stepped in, seeing them smiling happily, her brows furrowed slightly, the princess of the county likes to hold the little princess so much to see what the fish do, she was afraid that the waterside was not safe before, so she was not allowed to go, this is good, bring the fish to the house, it is so close, if you accidentally bump the little princess into it, what should I do?

Bai Shao put down the copper basin, walked over to join in the fun, and asked curiously, "Let the little county lord watch the fish swim in the water, can you really raise your eyes with water?" ”

Poria glanced at Bai Shao and said, "This is still false, you look at the little county lord, where the fish swims, she will see it, and her eyes are rolling." ”

Mother Zheng looked at it, and it was really, "Take the little prince here too." ”

The princess of the county said that the little prince didn't need it, the little prince didn't use water spirits, and he wanted to be deep, but he still hugged it.

Playing around, one cup of tea passed quickly, and the second one was almost halfway through.

Ye Guiyue is back.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a gurgling sound and frowned and asked, "How did you let the ducks into the house?" ”

The laughter stopped abruptly, Zhiwan's face turned red, and he looked at Ye Guiyue hatefully, and there was a small flame in his eyes, you are a duck!

Mother Zheng led the two little maids to bring the food in, Ye Guiyue smiled at the bottom of her eyes, like a spring breeze, and thought that she would not wait for him, but she didn't expect her to still wait for him.

I was happy, but I was afraid that she would be hungry, so I said, "You don't have to wait for me in the future, you can eat first when you are hungry." ”

Mother Zheng's hand paused for a moment, and glanced at Ye Guiyue and Zhiwan without a trace, there is no aunt in the house, the county prince is such a place to eat, the county princess and other county princes should be shared, and the county princess really loves the county princess.

Originally, Zhiwan wanted to say that she wouldn't wait in the future, but when he said this, she was embarrassed to speak, so she said, "In the future, I will wait for you to have a cup of tea, and if you don't come back, I will use it first." ”

Saying that, he hugged Si'er to Chunxiang and let him go down to feed.

Then clean his hands, and when he washed it, Ye Guiyue stretched out his hand, and Zhiwan grabbed his hand, used soap, and rubbed it vigorously.

I changed two basins of water and washed his face.

It was served.

You came and went to pick up vegetables, and then chatted, Ye Guiyue asked her about going to Zizhu Courtyard today, "They didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

Zhiwan chewed the green vegetables and said vaguely, "It's not embarrassing, we stand on the same line with the princess, even if we are separated, I don't care about the money in the palace, I follow them as I like." ”
