Chapter 196: Thinking Far Away
(Cat flutter Chinese ) The fifth prince raised his head sharply and stared at Guan Xiucai, who laughed a few times, blinked his small eyes and continued: "The official family loves Wang Ye very much, and there must be a reason for letting Wang Ye act as a prisoner." The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. In a word, the five princes' foreheads jumped several times, this Guan Xiucai saw the five princes for the first time last year, and he was extremely firm that the reason why the official family specially intended to marry Li Tian was because the official family knew that Li Tian was a good woman beyond ordinary people, and the reason why he pointed it to the five princes was because he had a different love for the five princes, and the two five princes did not agree at all, if it weren't for Guan Xiucai's almost all of his views other than this matter were slightly the same as those seen by the heroes of the five princes, the five princes would have driven him out of the mansion long ago.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's start with last year's Jiangnan Jinghu Dashu," Guan Xiucai saw that the five princes were about to be annoyed again, and hurriedly turned the conversation: "The prince listened to me first, I thought of this, there are three reasons, one is that last year's Jiangnan Dashu, but the winter moon snow disaster on Jingdong Road, but from the Jinggi grain depot for relief, and did not transfer the surplus grain from the nearby Jiangnan roads, I can conclude that these grains must have been transported into the grain depots of Hebei and Hebei roads, this prince might as well let people check it." ”
The face of the five princes has not changed, but his eyes are much more solemn, this Guan Xiucai really has a little knowledge, last year, all the grain produced in the south of the Yangtze River was indeed transferred to the grain depots in the north, Guan Xiucai did not pay attention to the expression of the five princes, just squinted his small eyes, raised his fingers and said attentively: "Second, the northern armies adjust their defenses every three years, and this year is just the time to adjust the defenses. I heard that last year, Wangdan of the Beiting Bahrain Department subdued the Duoerbian tribes again, and the seventeen major tribes in Beiting have eleven of them under his command, saying that he has been called the King of Gushi Khan, and the official family will not allow him to grow any longer, besides," Guan Xiucai cautiously glanced at the five princes, and paused before he said in a low voice: "The official family is on the Spring and Autumn Period, if there is no army this year, if there is any change next year, even if it is smooth, the new emperor must serve filial piety, and he must collect the inside and outside of the court, and in another year or two, Wangdan will definitely unify the North Court, at that time, The imperial court wants to send troops to recruit again, compared to today, it is half the effort. ”
"I'll ask someone to send some files to Mr. to see in a while," the fifth prince was slightly moved, hesitated a little and continued: "Tomorrow I will go to the general prison to have a look, and I will have dinner with the eldest brother at noon, and Mr. will go with him." ”
"It's okay to be a prisoner, the prince and the uncle eat together, so I don't have to go." Guan Xiu knew that he had judged correctly, looked at the five princes, and blinked a few times with his small eyes: "I know what the prince means, thank you for your love, but the lord looks at my virtue, according to the words of the shopkeeper, no matter what clothes you wear, if you poke there, no matter how you look at it, it is an old teapot with a hook." The fifth prince laughed out loud, coughing and laughing: "What are these words?!" This Martha should really teach a lesson! ”
"Don't!" Guan Xiucai smiled and said: "I have been friends with the shopkeeper for many years, I have not eaten and drunk him less over the years, besides, he is really right, these years, those who can tell you the truth are true friendships!" I have said a lot, my dignity, really can't get on the big platform, really wear official uniforms, it is really detrimental to the national body, besides, in the capital for so many years, these ten years are okay, go forward, alas, I have seen more, and I can see it, and now I can follow the prince, this is a great blessing, the prince is generous and generous, and the princess treats people without words, where am I now, I will serve the prince with one mind, and the rich and noble days in the second half of my life will be proper! ”
When the fifth prince heard him say this, he stood up, dusted his clothes very easily, and said with a smile: "The master is not promising, and finding a gentleman is also unproductive, since Mr. has made up his mind, then it is up to you, Mr. will read the file first, and we will talk again tomorrow." The five princes went out as they spoke, Guan Xiucai sent the five princes out of the courtyard door, with his hands behind his back, turning the folding fan, and watching the five princes walk away, then humming a little song and turning back to the courtyard.
As soon as the five princes entered the weeping flower door, they saw the red sleeves coming towards them at a glance, let them go to the side of the eaves corridor, and bent their knees respectfully without raising their heads, and waited for the five princes to pass first, and the five princes involuntarily slowed down, and stared at her several times vigilantly and suspiciously before passing.
Li Tian greeted the five princes, took the tea and handed it to him, and ordered the meal to be served, but the five princes pretended to be extremely unconcerned, as if they just asked casually: "What are the red sleeves doing?" What's going on again? ”
"I was just going to discuss this matter with you," Li Tian sat back on the kang sideways, looked at the five princes and smiled: "It's not about the red sleeves, it's about the girls in the East Courtyard, after the New Year, Baoyan and the others are one year older, and the oldest is nineteen." ”
"Who is Baoyan?" The fifth prince interrupted Li Tian's words and asked, Li Tian explained good-naturedly: "It's Mama Qiao who specially picked out the girls who served you, and the red sleeves came to look for me, but I thought, this matter has to be discussed with you, these are all girls in the East Courtyard, and you have to call the shots." The fifth prince looked at Li Tian obliquely for a while before asking, "What do you mean by that?" What is this going to do? It's all so big, why don't you hurry up and match people? What are you keeping? It also makes people gossip about us behind their backs, and the old are not married, which hurts the sum of heaven and earth, which is a big deal. ”
"There are a few young people in our house who are quite old, but there is no one who may be worthy of Baoyan." Li Tian is calm and soft-spoken, since the day of the Shangyuan Festival in public to entertain his relatives, the five princes have been awkward, blowing their beards and staring at each other to find faults everywhere, and then glared at Li Tian and reprimanded: "They are all slaves, who is worthy of whom is not?" How did you make your home? ”
"You're right," Li Tian was not annoyed at all: "After all, it's a girl from the East Courtyard, you can't follow my ideas, you have to call the shots, I'll talk to Red Sleeves when I turn around, and let her find you to report this." The fifth prince held his breath and glared at Li Tian, turned his head and frowned and waved his hand, "What are you looking for me to do?" I don't care about this, I said, it's internal affairs from the moon gate inside, it's not my business, it's up to you! ”
"In this case, I mean, there is no suitable little girl in the house, so let their family take it back and marry on their own." As soon as Li Tian's voice fell, the five princes tasted the taste, these girls came from unknown origins, and it was naturally better to let the family take them back to marry on their own than to keep the marriage in the house, and the five princes sulked as soon as they tasted the taste, why didn't she say this at the beginning? Do you have to say it slowly for half a day, isn't this intentional?!
The fifth prince glared at Li Tian who looked at him with a smile, Li Tian has been in a good mood these days, in and out of the year, the palace of Jin'an County resigned by himself, plus Mama Xiong and others used various means, the people who want to clear have almost cleared, and then clean up the east courtyard, even if the inner courtyard is generally cleared, this is the biggest problem in front of her since she got married.
"Regarding the matter of the Qingjiang Marquis Mansion, did Jiang Dalang have a reply?" Li Tian changed the topic, and the fifth prince swallowed that sullen breath and said: "Qingyuan has already told his mother that he will ask someone to come to the door to ask for relatives in the past few days, and this matter should not be delayed." Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Yaofang was very satisfied with Jiang Zhengyuan, and Mrs. Xu felt that it was a rare good kiss, but she always felt that this matter was too easy, the fifth prince paused, looked at Li Tian and said, "I received an envoy." ”
"Well, the steward told me," Li Tian pondered his words and said with a smile: "Speaking of being a prisoner, I have heard my uncle say a few times, the Li family has been a great ancestor since the great ancestor was loyal and righteous, and several generations have been incompatible, because the ancestor of the Li family is the first generation of Yongguo Gong, and the great-ancestors have acted in charge of the Ministry of Engineering and the general as a supervisor, and the children of the family were in the prison at that time, and the messenger who will be the supervisor is different from other places, it is not easy to understand the line, from the craftsman to the foreman, most of them are inherited from father to son, and most of the children of the Li family are also carried by the elders in the prison. When I become an adult, I will also work as an errand to support my family, do you think you want to talk to your uncle? ”
The five princes were stunned when they heard this, most of the foremen who will be the supervisors are from the Li clan, do the officials know about this? The official family will not be unaware, if they do...... A chill passed through the hearts of the five princes, could it be that when they got married, the official family had already planned to let him take care of the general as a prisoner? Or is it because of this family affair that he was asked to take care of the general as a prisoner? Perhaps, the overseer will be the foreman of the Li clan is a trivial matter like the Li clan, and the officials will not pay attention to it......
Li Tian looked at the five princes who were staring at her strangely, and was about to speak, when the crisp voice of Yinhua outside the curtain sounded, the curtain was lifted, and the peach branch took a few little girls to put dinner on the table like flowing water, neither of them spoke anymore, after eating, the five princes lowered their heads and sipped tea, and suddenly said: "Tomorrow I will go to check Aunt Yao's life experience." Li Tian was in a trance, the fifth prince waved his hand and retreated from the girls, looked at Li Tian and said, "The eldest brother is seventeen years older than you, will he already know you?" Li Tian understood what he meant, and couldn't help frowning, and shook his head after a while: "I don't know, the box where those things were put has been sealed since the death of the grandmother, and when she received the first gift, Mama Wen was already waiting by the side of the mother-in-law, she said that the grandmother never knew who sent it, and the grandmother never mentioned it, didn't the uncle grow up in the queen mother's palace?" ”
"I always think that he should know you, the eldest brother and the biological mother are not born, even if they do," the fifth prince stopped talking and was silent for a moment before continuing: "We have a few brothers, I think the eldest brother is the most like Daddy, his mind is deeply hidden, and he is ruthless, Daddy's mind can't be guessed, and the eldest brother's mind can't be guessed." ”
"I don't know," Li Tian said while thinking: "Seeing now, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing, Aunt Yao doesn't see any malice towards her father and me." ”
"Well, you have to look into this matter quietly, it's better to know the origin than not to know." The fifth prince really couldn't figure it out, Li Tian nodded in agreement, this has always been a problem for her, but if she has anything to do with the royal family, it is nothing good!
