Yesterday's Aunt Cui, today's Cousin Cui, no matter what identity it is, Wang Qifang can't turn her away when the other party talks about it.

didn't have time to wait for Li Jingtian's appearance, Wang Qifang called Zizhu and Mama Chen, welcomed Cui Yunniang, her nurse, two girls, and a total of four masters and servants into the mansion, and found a side courtyard far away from the main courtyard to settle them down temporarily.

In the evening, after Li Jingtian came back, he only raised his eyebrows and explained: "The lady has arranged very well, and the capital has not been peaceful recently, so prepare a few more agile apprentices for the two cousins, and pay attention to their safety." ”

Wang Qifang didn't know what he meant, frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "What?" What are the big moves in Kyosato? Is it the Chivalrous League or the Imperial Court? ”

Li Jingtian picked up the teacup, wiped the floating tea stalks, and said lightly, "No, it's the Northern Tang Dynasty." ”

Wang Qifang was stunned and asked blankly, "What's wrong with the Northern Tang Dynasty?" Wasn't it okay the other day? Is it that the climate there is too cold, and the third young master can't stand it? Or is it a bad year this year, with a poor grain harvest? ”

On the surface, the Northern Tang Dynasty and Tang Guangzong, the founding emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty, had nothing to do with the Li family in Pingzhou. But in fact, whether it is the Li family or the Chivalrous League, they are all inextricably linked with Li Jingyun, and there are not a few carrier pigeons that come and go to Pingzhou, Beijing and Liaodong every day.

This point, not to mention that Wang Qifang, the daughter-in-law of the Li family, is clear, even Emperor Longqing and the third princess also understand it in their hearts, but they can't get tangible evidence, and the reputation of the Fuguo Mansion in the Great Zhou is too prosperous, and the imperial court just wants to clean up the Li family again, and it is not good to act rashly without full evidence.

"It's nothing, the imperial court's jiān general lurking on the north bank of the Yellow River sent back a message to inform the imperial court that there was a great drought in the Northern Tang Dynasty this year, the grain harvest was poor, and tens of thousands of people who dragged their families and ran to join the Li traitors had no food and clothing, and the military morale of the Northern Tang Dynasty was also affected, and the contradictions between the top and bottom were about to erupt."

Li Jingtian said expressionlessly, and his voice was even more erratic, making his whole person look a little weird.

"Will it be?" Wang Qifang is very good at grasping the key points, Li Jingtian said so much in a wordy manner, her attention was all on these two words, "Is someone deliberately spreading rumors to make the imperial court mistakenly think that the Northern Tang regime is unstable, and make a decision to take the opportunity to clean up the rebellion?" ”

According to the ancestral teachings of the Li family, the Northern Tang Dynasty is another development path of the Li family, and it is also the opponent specially created by the Li family for the imperial court.

Whether it is the Guogong Mansion or the Chivalrous League, they have done their best to assist Li Jingyun to stabilize the regime, even Wang Qifang here, also for the sake of Li Jingtian's face, secretly allocated a large number of grain, grass and medicinal materials, and quietly ordered people to transport the materials to Liaodong by sea.

, "The lady is really smart" Li Jingtian listened to Wang Qifang's words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a faint smile appeared, but the next words made Wang Qifang a little stunned" "It is true that someone deliberately spread the news, but this person is none other than your father-in-law, me!" ”

Wang Qifang's eyes widened and she asked, "You?" Why? Could it be that the Northern Tang regime has stabilized and can fight to the death with the imperial army? ”

It was easy to get a chance to recuperate, but Li Jingtian ran to fan the flames by himself, trying to trigger the imperial army to go to encircle and suppress his own army, he, is he crazy? !

Also, does Grandpa Guo know about Li Jingtian's actions? Does Li Jingyun know?

Clearly seeing the huge question mark flickering in Wang Qifang's eyes, Li Jingtian's horn rose more and more in an arc, and he drank two sips of tea unhurriedly, and then said slowly: "Don't worry, I have repeatedly discussed this plan with my father and third brother, and I decided to implement it after making sure that there are no loopholes." You also know that now that the regime of the Northern Tang Dynasty has stabilized, and the people under its rule have gradually adapted to life there, the current Northern Tang Dynasty has sufficient food and vast land, and it is the time for the army and the people to work together to build their homes, and the only unstable factor is that some Jiān fine and imperial court troops are mixed in the Liaodong region, and the third brother has always wanted to clear them out, but there is no suitable opportunity. Moreover, I believe that as soon as this news is transmitted back to the imperial court, the third princess will definitely ask Ying to go on the expedition, and Emperor Longqing is estimated to transfer his troops to the north bank of the Yellow River, and at that time, the capital will be relatively quiet. ”

Wang Qifang lowered her eyes, thought quietly, and said, "I understand, do you want to divert the attention of Emperor Longqing and the third princess to the Northern Tang Dynasty?" In this way, the imperial court will not have the energy to make trouble for us?! ”

Li Jingtian nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "That's right, I really admire my wife for my husband, and I guessed it." In addition, there is a more important point, the battle between the crown prince and the king of Fu is becoming more and more fierce, and both sides have begun to attack the army, if there is really a war, presumably their battle will be white-hot, by that time, hehe, I don't believe it, Emperor Longqing still has time to design me and the Guogong Mansion. ”

If you can take advantage of this to kill Emperor Longqing, it will be even better, the two princes will seize the heir, the civil and military officials will fight endlessly, a court with an unstable regime, it will be too late for infighting, where will there be leisure to eradicate the auxiliary prince's mansion? !

"Of course, there are still some things that are not eye-opening, and it is estimated that they will be busy seeking their own wealth and wealth, and there is no time to disgust us." Like that fake princess of the Zheng family?! ”

Li Jingtian has been so busy these days that he has no time to communicate with Wang Qifang, but he is well-informed, and he is still very clear about the matter of his mother being calculated.

When Wang Qifang heard this, she smiled and said, "Well, you're right, I'm also trying to find something for them to do." Since you're going to do it, I'd better stay and watch, hehe, of course, if you need my help, I'm happy to get involved. ”

When Li Jingtian heard this, he couldn't hold back and laughed. To be honest, he has been very busy for Lu Qiuniang's affairs these days, and in order to make up for his mistakes, he has tried his best. Now, there is finally a way to deal with it, Li Jingtian's tense nerves have finally relaxed, and he also has the idea of laughing with his mother: "Okay, no problem, the husband will give the lady a chance to be angry." ”

, "Hehe, then I'll thank Master Li Dameng in advance." Wang Qifang saw that the gloom between Li Jingtian's eyebrows finally dissipated, and the big stone in her heart that had been hanging for several days finally fell to the ground, and she also joked with Li Jingtian's tone.

However, thinking of the best cousin, she still reminded with some concern: "Cui Yunniang is really okay?" After she came out of Pingzhou with her subordinates, the secret agents of the Xia Ke League have not been able to find her traces, which is very abnormal. You tell me? ”

Especially when they met, Cui Yunniang came out of nowhere unexpectedly, which really made Wang Qifang a little confused.

"Well, she did make a few small moves, but it's not a big problem, and you don't have to worry too much.

Everything is under my control, you just need to take care of the family and a few children, and I have the business outside. ”

Li Jingtian is very satisfied with his wife's constant high vigilance, however, there are some things that he still wants to do by himself.

Hearing this, Wang Qifang also understood the deep meaning of Li Jingtian's words, and nodded indifferently, "Okay, then it's hard work." ”

happened to settle Cui Yunniang, an uninvited guest, and before Wang Qifang could take a breath, the Li family ushered in several "distinguished guests" one after another.

Here's the thingOn this day, Wang Qifang went to the third princess's mansion with a well-prepared gift to greet the third princess.

Speaking of which, Wang Qifang has mixed feelings about the third princess: on the one hand, she is very grateful for the righteous action of the third princess and the undisguised protection of her: on the other hand, she can't forget that the third princess confiscated her property without any affection, personally sent someone to lock her in the secret room, and also placed eyeliner beside her, ready to grab her pigtails at any time......

In less than a year, the third princess wiped out all her past efforts, and regarded her as an enemy.

As soon as she thought of this, Wang Qifang felt very sad, and her heart was full of helplessness and sadness.

However, what made her even more sad was that she knew the hostility of the other party, but she still had to put on a close and respectful appearance of her brother, and she didn't dare to express her anger.

No, as soon as the matter of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce was settled, the housekeeper of the third princess's mansion came to invite her, saying that the princess wanted to talk to her.

Speak? Heh, what else can she say between Wang Qifang and the three arithmetic masters? Women's Scouts? Herb? Or, "I heard you've got another new thing, what is it called a sanitary napkin?" Is there such a thing? ”

The third princess wore a homely Hu suit, combed her hair in a simple bun, sat on the main seat with a smile, and said to Wang Qifang cordially.

"Back to the princess, Qi Niang is trying to tell you" Wang Qifang also smiled humbly, leaned over and half leaned on the chair, and after hearing the third princess's question, she got busy and said, "I originally thought it was not a valuable thing, and it was not good to disturb the princess in a special way." Coincidentally, the princess summoned me today, so I brought some sanitary napkins specially prepared for you by the way, can you take a look? ”

As she spoke, Wang Qifang took a one-foot-square red lacquer box from the little maid beside her, held it in front of the third princess with both hands, opened it, and took out sanitary napkins wrapped in white silk.

"Yo, it's really soft." The third princess opened one, thinly mō the surface made of cotton yarn, and praised in surprise: "Well, there is still a smell of medicine, and it will be clean when you look at it." is really worthy of being the first female Confucian merchant in the Great Zhou, I don't know how this brain grows, why is there so much freshness? ”

Wang Qifang hurriedly smiled and said that he didn't dare.

It's just that before the smile on her face faded, the third princess lowered her face again and said in a deep voice: "When you do business, you are comprehensive in everything, and you can come up with any fresh ideas." But why is it that when you are a housekeeper, you are always lost? ”

Wang Qifang chuckled in her heart, she glanced at the third princess timidly, and she didn't know where she had offended Her Royal Highness the princess.

But now is not the time to ask the reason, and she is not qualified to ask, so she can only kneel on the ground in a hurry and confess repeatedly: "The concubine doesn't know, please ask the third princess to make it clear!" ”@。
