When Du Mingxin saw her leaving, he withdrew his gaze, looked at the second master who was at a loss, and said, "Father, it's not a way to drag it like this right now, you have to go and talk to Cheng'an Houfu." ”

The second master thought about Lin Lang's notoriety, and suddenly felt that his scalp was a little numb. He was in a hurry to marry the princess, but he couldn't find the token of marriage, and when he told him, how he would thunder and rage!

"I don't even have an official body, and I ...... softly," the second master said embarrassedly, "I'm afraid that the Hou Mansion will not be happy!" ”

Du Ming looked at him helplessly, how could such a confused and cringeful person become his father?

"So you mean, let me say it?" She asked.

"You're not as good as me!" The second old man said, "I mean, you go and ask your uncle to go to the Hou Mansion to talk about it...... Anyway, they are all celebrities in front of the emperor now, and there is nothing inconvenient about talking to each other, isn't it much better than you and me to say? ”

Du Mingxin was about to be laughed at angrily, how could there be a reason for his uncle to help his niece retreat! "You won't be afraid that your uncle will trouble you again!"

"I, I'm just hiding from him!" The second master saw that Du Mingxin didn't look like he was going to refuse, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Actually, you don't have to trouble your uncle!" Isn't the Hou Mansion afraid that we will take the tokens to their house in the future, and after the Lantern Festival, you and Peng Kang will have a small decision, wouldn't it be good? You're married, what else can you rely on their family? ”

He thought he had a plan, and he didn't wait for Du Mingxin to speak, so he hurriedly went to the eldest master to discuss.

Du Mingxin went back to the house and wrote a letter to Shen Yao, saying that he was neither willing to block Lin Lang's marriage nor marry Peng Kang, and begged Shen Yao to help clean up the situation.

She sealed the envelope with fire paint and sent Chuncao out: "When you come back, remember to inquire at Ermen to inquire about what the eldest sister has been doing these days." ”

Chuncao was ordered to go out and came back in the evening: "Uncle said that please rest assured, he will help you deal with these things, and you can wait with peace of mind." ”

Du Mingxin nodded and said with a smile: "Things are done well, go out and ask your sister Xia Ye to reward you with five coins of silver." ”

Chuncao smiled and saluted: "Then the slave will thank the girl!" Although he also received a reward from his uncle, in order to inquire about the eldest girl, the slaves and maids were given to the mother-in-law who guarded the second door. ”

Du Mingxin smiled and asked her, "How is it, the money is spent unjustly?" ”

Chuncao waved his hand and smiled: "Not wronged, not wronged!" She approached and whispered, "The woman said that the eldest girl has sent five or six letters from the past year to the present. The first two letters were sent to the Cheng'an Hou Mansion, and the latter were sent to a house in Jingshui Hutong. ”

Du Mingxin frowned and said, "The letter sent to the Cheng'an Hou Mansion must have been sent a year ago. At that time, I also sent you to Ermen to inquire, why didn't you ask anything? ”

Chuncao hurriedly said: "Girl, you need to know this time and that time! At that time, Aunt Liu was still an aunt, and she even rewarded the mother-in-law who worked on the stove for two silvers, not to mention the people on the second door! But now she has become a laundry maid in the old lady's yard, but you have confessed to your uncle. These people are used to seeing the wind and rudder, and now the east wind is on your side! ”

Du Mingxin smiled and didn't speak, thinking about how to find out about this matter. "The kid in the outer courtyard who inquired about Mr. Jiang's residence last time, do you still have any contact with him?"

Chuncao smiled: "Yes! Last time, the aunt on the eldest master's side asked him to go out to buy melon seeds, and he left two taels for me! ”

At this time, Xia Ye came in with the curtain and came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge. She put the porridge in front of Du Mingxin and said with a smile: "Two or two melon seeds will put you away!" You are still a first-class maid in front of the girl, and your eyelids are so shallow? ”

Chuncao smiled: "If you send it, you won't accept it!" Besides, I eat melon seeds, he is doing what he likes, why should I refuse? ”

Du Mingxin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be poor!" Don't just know how to eat, be careful that you live up to the heart of other people's stupid boys! Today in my father's study, the eldest sister is very abnormal, and it is estimated that she may have a move in the next two days. You tell that kid to keep an eye on it, and if someone goes out to help the big sister deliver the letter, tell him to inquire where and to whom it was delivered. It's done, and I've got a reward! ”

"Hey, okay!" Chuncao happily agreed and went out in a hurry.

On the morning of the second day, the emperor left Dingguo Duke Xu Xing, Shen Yao, Chen Xi and Chen Ting, the king of Ning, to speak.

"I received news yesterday from Qian Hao, the lord of Wuyue in the south of the Yangtze River, that he had sent an envoy to the capital with tribute and a list of ministers, and wanted to form an alliance with our Great Yan Dynasty as a brotherly country. What do you think about this? ”

Chen Ting saw that the three people next to him were all contemplative, so he preemptively said: "Now that our Dayan has just been founded, and the northwest, the Central Plains, and even the capital have only ended the war rebellion for a long time, the minister thinks that he should rest and recuperate, and it is not appropriate to make a big move. Since Wu Yueguo is willing to be a minister, it is very good. Your Majesty might as well push the boat along the river, and Jiangnan should be slowly mapped. ”

Chen Xi frowned slightly, the previous emperor had made it very clear to him that Wu Yueguo was bound to win, and it was better to do it sooner rather than later.

Before he could speak, Xu Xing, the Duke of Dingguo, said: "What King Ning said is also reasonable, but the chaos in the northwest has been calmed down as early as two years ago when His Majesty annihilated the remnants of the Zhou Dynasty. The Central Plains and other places all obeyed the will of heaven and surrendered without a fight, and the people did not suffer from displacement. The minister thought that His Majesty should take advantage of this sharp spirit to establish a new dynasty and take Jiangnan in one go. After all, it is the world's most important financial and tax place, and arriving a day late is to let the enemy accumulate more strength. ”

Shen Yao and Chen Xi took the opportunity to agree with what Xu Xing said.

Chen Ting scolded the two of them in his heart, and he would meet the villain who patted the horse! He himself still coveted Xu Xing's power, and wanted to divorce his wife and marry Xu Yuan again, so naturally he would not refute Xu Xing's face on such an occasion. He said with a smile: "It's still good that Dingguo Gong is thoughtful, after all, I am young, and my knowledge is shorter, and I am not as thoughtful as Dingguo Gong." ”

The emperor smiled: "You are not yet thirty years old, of course you are not as good as him, an old fox!" It's rare for you to have this experience! ”

For a while, the monarch and ministers discussed state affairs, and the emperor smiled at Chen Xi: "Tomorrow Anping is going to Nanyuan to play, Wen Jiao, Deng Hong and Cheng Anhou are all going, and I heard Anping say that the three girls who gave the prince of the country also made a post." You just came back from Jiangnan, I'm afraid you're very tired, and you'll be loose tomorrow. ”

Chen Xi hurriedly replied "yes".

Chen Ting smiled: "The emperor is eccentric!" You just asked King Jin to go over to play, why didn't you think about your nephew? ”

"You're a daddy!" The emperor smiled, "Don't you have time to accompany your son to study at home?" ”

He turned his head and said to Shen Yao again: "Ask your niece to go too, they are young people together, and there are many people and lively." ”
