Chapter 226: Prelude (300 plus more)
The old man was depressed and took the team out of Beijing. Sisi stayed behind like history, the eighth was still the old rule, taking his wife and children to Zhuangzi, and the eighteenth unswervingly carried out the task of 'guarding his nephew', following him, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
Xia Mo is very confident that she can give birth to a beautiful daughter this time, with the prospect of dumplings, she pays more attention to the diet therapy for whitening and replenishing the brain, and the mood is very important, as soon as the old man leaves Beijing, Xia Mo is really in a good mood.
The eighteenth didn't go, there was no medicine primer, what are they doing? The eighth child and his children didn't go, even if there was a trouble, it had nothing to do with their family. Think about asking the secret guards of the old eight factions to inform the tenth, eleventh, and fourteenth of the old faction, keep the word steady, don't go anywhere at night, and don't listen to anyone who says anything.
This is said once a year, and the reply from the tenth child is the same, 'Eighth sister-in-law is not annoying!' But Lao Ba and Xia Mo also knew, and they said that they would say it. But he still obeys the words of Lao Ba and himself.
And then there is the boss, in fact, in the past few years, the boss has lived a very nourishing life, North Korea is empty, and most of the treasures of the king of North Korea have entered his mansion.
The main thing is that it's not worth it, there is a false name of a prince, pretending to be a grandson in front of the old man, is it interesting? So Lao Ba and Xia Mo are not worried that the boss will go down the old road, and they are very good now.
And the prince has been very pampony in recent years, he has done things in an orderly manner, and he has a degree in everything, and he doesn't do anything that exceeds his authority, and the master around him has a very good evaluation of him, Xia Mo feels that there should be no more accidents in this forty-seven years!
With her understanding of the third and thirteenth children, it is still possible for them to make small moves, but it is really a big situation, which is not something they can afford.
Although the third child has been leading the errand of the Ministry of Rites, but in order to please the old man, and in order to win the hearts of the world's scholars, he was obsessed with compiling books, and the errand and Baylor's little money was spent to the New Year. Of course, I heard that he sent people out to find money, and the household department heard that he also borrowed a lot.
Although the thirteenth married the daughter of the Shangshu Zhaojia clan of the Ministry of War. But within two months, the old man transferred Zhaojia's position and gave him an idle position, which made the old thirteen very depressed for a while, and he relied on a good family for nothing.
Lao Thirteen himself didn't receive an errand, he was still a bald brother, he had a separate mansion, and he had no support from his uncle's family, so he only relied on a few Zhuangzi given by the old man when he was in the branch, plus the dowry of Zhaojia's family, and his life was tight. You must know that although Zhao Jia's family is also a serious second-class official, but the family has a large population and no old background, it is impossible to compare with the crown princess and himself. Don't have the money to talk about the team? So Xia Mo hasn't been very worried about what they can do out of the ordinary.
Of course, Xia Mo now dislikes the old thirteen from the bottom of her heart, she knows that she was a little emotional at the beginning, when she was in the palace before, she deliberately separated the old thirteen and the fourth was a bit too much, in fact, the old thirteen was a simple child at that time, and she only relied on a little understanding of history, deliberately separated them, so that the relationship between the fourth and the thirteenth was never good, which itself is a bit nonsense.
I think this is also the reason why Lao Thirteen later targeted himself everywhere. His mother was moved to Chonghua Palace, and later in the battle with Lao Fourteen, he did not show his figure anywhere, Lao Thirteen was not a fool, he knew that because of Xia Mo's dislike, the group of Lao Ba excluded him, so he naturally stood on the opposite side.
So in the palace, the old thirteen targeted her, and even sometimes made disrespectful remarks, Xia Mo put up with it, and when she didn't hear it, she also restrained the old fourteen to stop making trouble and concentrate on their own business.
But now, they are all older, they are married, everyone does not interfere with the river water, and they live their own lives, you have the ambition to fight for it, go and do it! The eighth child has already withdrawn, and he has nothing to do, so why do he still pour dirty water on himself and Sisi everywhere?
Once or twice, he was an unintentional target, but he did too much and did it too clearly, which made Xia Mo unbearable. It's obviously a shadowless thing, but who can withstand such a toss? It's easy to give birth to a beautiful son, and he was said by the old thirteen, what do people think?
This is not burying the old eight and four together, who is it aimed at? The prince will naturally be fine, and at most he will destroy the relationship between the two people. Besides, in the past few years, Xia Mo has lived in Zhuangzi for most of the time. There are very few houses in Beijing, and the relationship between the eighth and fourth is a little more indifferent, and there is nothing to instigate.
But what about yourself and your children? The old man doesn't care if it's true or not, he pays attention to needs, and one day, when he feels that he needs to suppress his two sons, things that don't have a shadow can be a thing. At that time, he will be given to die, not to mention, Baozi and Tuanzi will not be able to live, and the royal family will not allow children with chaotic bloodlines. This heart eye is too vicious, isn't it? So Xia Mo hated the thirteenth more than the third.
Of course, no matter how much she hated her, she didn't say anything, what could she say? It's useless to say it, if you say it, you take it seriously, but it will be true, so even if the eighth child is so angry that he comes back to say, Xia Mo is also appeased, and looks at him with a smile, "Don't you really think that I have anything to do with the fourth brother, right?" ”
"What are you kidding?" The eighth child glanced at Xia Mo blankly, not to mention that Xia Mo and Sisi both belong to Yonghe Palace, and the love of growing up together is there, let's just say that after getting married, Xia Mo and the eighth child have never been separated, even if Xia Mo wants to go out of the wall, there must be a chance.
"I'm just angry, what do you want to do?" Lao Ba explained urgently.
"Leave it to him. The more this happens, the more the old man won't give it to him. Xia Mo sighed lightly, sometimes thinking about the old man's imperial heart. The old thirteen has been honored and favored from the death of the concubine in the thirty-seventh year to the forty-seventh year now, but the old man did not give the old thirteen faction an errand, and the second did not add a knighthood, so it was easy to give a marriage, and the Yue family was destroyed, is this to support the successor frame?
If you say anything else, let's take the old eight. He still has an errand on him, and he doesn't care about it. Every year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives very generous offerings; Besides, my brothers have done an excellent job in the army in the past few years, relying on their military exploits to rise little by little, and one is more low-key than the other, they are all married by the old man to Concubine De, and although the sister-in-law she married is not famous, they are all low-key Yin Shishi's family. It's really strung together, the eighth is definitely a force to be reckoned with, can the old man know? But the old man let it go.
The eighth child is not that fool, Xia Mo is a little bit, he naturally understands, but he is just angry in his heart. I don't want anything, why do I have to be angry?
"Didn't you let people go to sea in a ship? How did the land to the south go? Xia Mo decided to change the subject.
"I thought you didn't care at all! Don't dare to be bigger, for fear that the old man will be suspicious. Let Lao Fourteen be a ship in North Korea, so it is more hidden. I didn't buy land in the south, there was no need, anyway, there really was a day, we went directly to the ship from Tianjin Dagu, far away. The eighth shook his head gently.
This was already discussed in Rehe, anyway, they now have spare money in their hands, and the training people are almost the same, leaving a large part of the back road led by Baoqin and Siqi in North Korea, building big ships, and going to some ownerless islands to explore, they have the charts bought from foreigners, they are still very interested in some southern islands, prosperous enough, weak enough, as long as the economic invasion first, and then slowly assimilation, and finally replace, this is a very easy thing, of course, this is all slowly going on, Everything has to wait for the old man's absence, they are not interested in the throne, and then they will leave far away with Concubine Hui, so that the new emperor can rest assured. It's the best ending.
Lao Shi, although Lao Shi did not make it clear that he would go with them, but he has been helping them actively prepare, for them, this is also a way out, if it really doesn't work, there is also a place to live overseas.
The old fourteenth also knew about this, and the eighth didn't ask the old fourteen not to tell the fourteenth, he was very clear, he had no intention of taking the big position, he was a hostage for them in the capital, so that they could live as they wanted outside, and when the old man was gone, he would leave. As for Lao Fourteen not telling Sisi, he doesn't care, anyway, it's okay to let Sisi know that he is not a competitor.
"Well, I originally wanted you to buy property in the south to reassure the old man, but think about it, when we leave, these will be divided among the four of them in the capital, and if you don't have a son, it's good to have a little money." Xia Mo hugged the eighth child and sighed softly.
The four concubines have always been a knot in Xia Mo's heart, materially she definitely gives them the best enjoyment, and she can also arrange and take care of their mother's family, and she has done her best to give them face, but the eighth child, she is very sure that she doesn't want to pretend to be virtuous anymore. Now that they have sons, they don't need to pretend to be virtuous.
But they are also women, and she thinks that they are pitiful, young and beautiful, and they are all buried in the house in Jingli, and there is no chance to do it all over again. She didn't even dare to look at them, let them go, and even more impossible, everything could only be ignored in her evasion.
"You, what are you doing with this careful, do you think they are not doing well, and they don't know how many people are envied now! When I went back to my mother's house, I wore what I wore compared with the concubines in other houses, that is, heaven and earth; also has living money in their hands, and the subordinates don't dare to slack off, they all respect it as a master, and they don't know how to moisturize one by one. I also give them face, they speak with a lot of confidence in their mother's house, what do you think they are entering the eighth master for? It's for this, we have enough face to give birth to a son or not, what more do they want? What do you think those concubines in other people's mansions are trying to please their masters? Not for that. The eighth couldn't see Xia Mo's petty family, so he gave her a blank look.
Xia Mo thought about it, maybe he took the eighth child too seriously, so he thought that everyone else was the same as himself, the four concubines were all born in Baoyi, and the sons they gave birth to could not inherit the title, and then they had to be succeeded by the royal fingers, so it was useless for them to have sons or not, at most it was a dependence. But then again, even if he gave birth to a son, he was actually the same as the Li family, he was not qualified to raise him, and he was born in vain. So it seems that I really think too much, kiss the eight, and never think the eighth is so cute.
