"Why don't we suspect that it was all Queen Liu's troublemaker, for example, she separated the two of you brothers in order to help the second prince! Didn't you say that the person who set the fire was a member of Empress Liu's clan? ”

Min Weixiu asked curiously, and Lu Bing, who was sitting outside the carriage, also pricked up his ears, he also had the same question.

Lin Niangzi may also have been killed by the queen! After all, she could still pull it on the king of Dongyang County that day!

She doesn't have a son, so it's not impossible to support the second prince instead!

Jiang Yanzhi smiled, "You are familiar with Liu Luan, what do you think of her?" ”

Min Weixiu blurted out without hesitation, "Stupid! ”

Oh my God, someone who can even fool her, isn't she stupid?

Jiang Yanzhi nodded, "Empress Liu is not much smarter than Liu Luan, otherwise, after entering the palace for so many years, she would not have been childless." She couldn't think of such a complicated move. She was able to be the queen, all because of the military power in the hands of her father, and the Liu family was the figure that the official family wanted to fight for. ”

"Empress Liu can't think of it, isn't there still a second prince?"

Jiang Yan was stunned, and carefully searched for things about his second brother in his mind, but he felt that he had no impression of anything.

That's right, no impressions.

I don't know what he likes, I don't know what he hates, he just stands there gently, like a screen at home.

Maybe it's been ten times or eight times, and I don't remember whether it's a three-star birthday celebration on the screen, or a peacock opening the screen.

"Right?" Min Weixiu was a little proud, she felt that this was the first time she had crushed Jiang Yanzhi in terms of intelligence, "If the crown prince becomes the emperor, even if Empress Liu becomes the queen mother in the future, she will be checked and balanced by Concubine Cai Shu, after all, the prince has a mother, and the second prince is different, the second prince has no mother." ”

"If I am the queen, I will support the second prince. is the queen mother, do you want to bow low and be small? There are no doors! ”

"She may have supported the crown prince, but isn't Liu Luan a concubine? The crown prince became the emperor, and Empress Liu's niece couldn't be the queen anymore! ”

The more Min Weixiu said, the more it made sense.

Jiang Yanzhi was a little dazed, he glanced at Min Weixiu deeply, could it be that after the two of them got married, their intelligence would be average, you see that he will become stupid, and Weixiu will become smart!

Obviously, he had always been very sure that he was the king of Dongyang County before, but after being pulled so indiscriminately by Min Weixiu, he actually felt that what she said was unreasonable.

However, the two didn't have time to think too much, and the Dongyang County Mansion had already arrived.

Jiang Yan got out of the carriage, and he was still a little dizzy.

Min Weixiu is a frequent visitor to the house, and the porter does not report, so she happily greets, "Min Wuniang is here, and the county lord is looking forward to your coming every day!" ”

Min Weixiu arrogantly took out a handful of silver coins and stuffed them to him, "New Year's reward." ”

The porter was so happy that he liked this kind of person who would throw money if he didn't agree!

He sent the two of them to the second gate, and then beckoned a mother-in-law to come over, and then went back in a hurry.

The mother-in-law also knew Min Weixiu, "Min Wuniang, the county lord and the county king are watering the flowers, and the slave will lead you there." ”

The mother-in-law kept walking and walking, and led Jiang Yanzhi and Min Weixiu to the gate of a courtyard, which was the residence of the king of Dongyang County.

The mother-in-law did not dare to raise her voice and retreated sideways.

Min Weixiu and Jiang Yanzhi glanced at each other, standing at the door, they could smell the faint fragrance of smoke inside, as well as the sound of rushing water.

"My cousin Tong Weixiu is here, why don't you enter the door."

Cousin?

The king of Dongyang County is recorded in the name of Emperor Chai, and Jiang Yanzhi is the son of Emperor Chai's sister, and it is not impossible for him to call his cousin.

As soon as Min Weixiu entered the courtyard, he felt weird, this courtyard was bare, there were no flowers at all, only seven bauhinia trees were erected there, one of which was already half dead.

She'd been here many times, but she hadn't noticed what kind of tree it was.

"What kind of tree is this? Now watering, I'm afraid it's going to freeze. ”

Before the king of Dongyang County could speak, the Cheshire Lord came over and grabbed Min Weixiu's arm, "This is Bauhinia, also known as full red, and when it blooms in spring, the whole branch is red, and the fragrance of the flowers is very sweet." My brother is the most precious of these flowers, this one is about to die, and he is so sad that he can't do it, I told him to cut it down, and he can't bear it. ”

Bauhinia, it's not a precious variety.

After listening to Lord Cheshire's words, the King of Dongyang County walked over and touched the tree that was about to die, "This was planted by myself when I was ten years old, and of course it is of great significance. Has my cousin ever heard that story? ”

Without waiting for Jiang Yanzhi to speak, the king of Dongyang County continued.

According to legend, in the Southern Dynasty, Jingzhao Yin Tian Zhen and his brother Tian Guangtian Qing separated, and in the courtyard, there was a redbud tree that was not easy to distinguish. So on the second day, they cut the tree into three sections, and each person divided it into sections. But they didn't expect that on the second day, when the three of them went to see, the flowers on the bauhinia tree were all gone overnight. ”

The three brothers sighed and felt that people were not as good as trees, so they decided not to separate their families. And that redbud tree bloomed again. Three jinghuan are on the same plant, and four birds are sad and strange. ”

Jiang Yanzhi glanced deeply at the king of Dongyang County, "This allusion comes from Wu Jun's "Continuation of Qi Harmonics" in the Southern Dynasty. ”

The king of Dongyang County laughed, "My cousin is really knowledgeable. ”

Min Weixiu on the side was confused, what the hell?

She has always felt that when a literati reads a book and says a word, she has to beep a bunch of allusions, which is simply a matter of having nothing to do, but she never expected that Jiang Yanzhi would be such a literati!

"Cousin is here today, do you have something important?"

Jiang Yanzhi shook his head, "It's just a New Year's greeting." Cousin needs to take care. ”

The king of Dongyang County smiled, "Come to pay New Year's greetings empty-handed? ”

Jiang Yanzhi's face turned red, Min Weixiu straightened her chest, how could she go out empty-handed!

She thought, without saying a word, took out a few wrapped cakes from her arms, poured out a bag of almonds from the left sleeve pocket, pulled out a bag of jerky from the right sleeve pocket, and then poured out a small jar of pickled plums from the money bag, and said with a smile: "Be careful, not respectful, courtesy is light and affectionate!" ”

The king of Dongyang County was a little dumbfounded, especially after she finished taking the things, and her hand had not been withdrawn.

Min Weixiu saw that he didn't move for a long time, and looked at him with disdain, "We two young people, come to pay New Year's greetings, and you will let us go back empty-handed?" Anyway, Jiang Yanzhi still called you cousin! ”

The king of Dongyang County laughed, took out a few gold ingots from his sleeve pocket, and put them in the palm of Min Weixiu's hand, "Safe in and out." ”

Min Weixiu was stunned, she had never seen anyone say blessings like this.

She was not polite, and put the gold ingots into her pocket, speaking of which, she did not lack gold ingots, but the jerky was really distressing!

After making such a fuss, Min Weixiu said a few words to the Cheshire Lord before he said goodbye.

As soon as the two of them left the house, Min Weixiu slapped his head, "Oh no, I forgot the serious thing I wanted to ask." ”

Jiang Yanzhi touched her head, "We didn't ask, but he already answered." ”
