"Yes." Mrs. Wu Anhou said, "At that time, the first emperor died suddenly, and he wanted to seize the throne, so he came to me and wanted me to leave him a child. said that if he could be emperor, he would definitely let me live a good life; If he is defeated and killed, then at least there is a bloodline left in the world, and if the child is capable, help him take back the world. He was just a poor background, and he couldn't be the emperor, so he was really unwilling. Unexpectedly, he really didn't survive that night, and I didn't even know if I was pregnant with his child......" At this, tears welled up in her eyes.

"So you are doing everything possible to get rid of Su Muxian, just to make Su Muluan a waiting master, so as to prepare for the seizure of power and usurpation of power in the future?"

"Yes." There was a tear on the old lady Wu Anhou's dull expression, and she looked very weird, "If the old ghost agrees to let my brother Luan take the title, I won't do it." He seemed to see something, and he didn't let go until he died, and before he died, he directly asked the emperor for a holy decree to seal the little beast as a waiting master. How can I let him take my place as Brother Luan? Naturally, they were going to kill him. ”

Xia Jin looked at her, speechless for a long time, and didn't know how to describe this stupid woman.

Even if the old lady saw something, he didn't pierce her, let alone abandon her; Even if Su Muxian was chased and killed by her again and again, and almost died, he was still willing to support her in her old age. How stupid does this woman in front of her have to be to abandon and betray her husband who loves her so much, hunt down and kill her son with a pure nature, and let go of a good life, but to secretly conceive a child for a man who is ambitious and wants to hold the power of the world, and has no own in his heart, to inherit the family lineage, and even let his other son go to the point of no return?

There is no stupid woman in the world who is so confused.

She stretched out her hand, clicked on the dumb hole of Mrs. Wu'an Hou, and stood up. Turned and walked out the door.

Calamus and Mint silently followed her and walked down the steps.

"Madam......" Seeing this, Mama Lu called softly.

Xia Jin didn't seem to hear it, and walked out of the courtyard door directly with a calm face and got into the soft sedan chair.

Until he returned to his yard, Xia Jin didn't say a word.

Perhaps because he saw too much of the dark side in his previous life, Xia Jin has always been very open-minded in looking at problems. There are few things that put her in a bad mood. But this time back in the yard. She sat there, holding her cheeks in a daze, and her face was gloomy. Seems to be in a bad mood.

Calamus was a little worried, took the dowry list out and handed it to Xia Jin, wanting to find something for her to do, and divert her emotions: "Girl." You haven't read the dowry list yet, have you? We'll have to count them all after you've done that, so we can put them together. so as not to lose it. ”

Calamus didn't say it, Xia Jin really forgot about it. She was also curious, she didn't know what the Shao family had accompanied her, and she actually made a grand scene with red makeup.

See the dowry list. She was startled. In addition to the dowry given by the queen mother and the emperor and the ones she earned herself, there were many houses, shops, fields, and all kinds of rare treasures. There are many ginseng in the long year alone, and there are also large sizes of red coral and thumb-sized sapphires...... Compare that to these. Jade, gold and silver jewelry, silk brocade and other things are very common.

"Why so many things?" She asked, "Is there a list that shows where these things came from?" ”

Calamus handed her another list: "Here." ”

Xia Jin took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be deeply moved.

The Shao family and her brothers and sisters of the same generation, although they are all married, there is no need to buy a dowry or dowry. But the current population is so large, and after her brothers give birth, the Shao family still doesn't know how many people there will be. These children have to dress and eat, study, practice martial arts, and get married in the future, and the expenses are too large. Even if the second and third generations of the Shao family are capable, they must have a certain amount of property as capital in order to make more money. But what kind of fuss is this? Old Lady Shao and Old Lady Shao actually gave her half of the Shao family's property as a dowry!

There is also Xuanping Houfu, and even sent some shops and field products, gold and silver jewelry to her to make makeup.

In addition to Xuanping Houfu, there are also Liang Wenyu, Jia Zhaoming, Meng Xia, and Zhang Dali and other familiar generals, and Li Xuanming also gave a big gift.

If these people sent things as she expected, then the concubines in the palace, the emperor's half-sister Princess Qinghe and Princess Qingxi, and Luo Qian's mother, Mrs. Luo, all gave her makeup, which was greatly unexpected by her.

Especially Mrs. Luo, because of Luo Qian's matter, her relationship with Xia Jin has always been bad, and later Mrs. Shao taught her a lesson, and they have no relationship with each other, and now they actually gave her two shops and two granges, a set of gold inlaid jade heads, and twenty silk satin to add makeup to her, which is really a bit incredible.

Could it be that Luo Qian sent it in the name of his mother?

Xia Jin was in a daze with this list, when he heard Mint shouting at the door: "Master Hou, are you back?" When he raised his head, he saw Su Muxian walking in from outside. She looked at the sky and realized that it was dinner time.

Xia Jin stood up, motioned to Hexiang to fetch water, and asked, "What is the emperor looking for you?" ”

When he got home, there was a person sitting in the house waiting for him, and it was the woman he liked, which made Su Muxian very heartwarming. It's just that because the maids are in front of him, he doesn't have any affectionate behavior towards Xia Jin, he reached out to the copper basin and cleaned his hands, turned his head and said with a smile: "It's the Beiliang Kingdom, I'm a little restless, the emperor summoned me and Xuanping to ask about the specific situation over there at that time." ”

Xia Jin handed him a cloth towel and said, "For Beiliangguo, I have always had an idea. ”

Su Muxian's eyes lit up, he wiped his hands dry, handed the cloth towel to Calamus, pulled Xia Jin to sit down, and asked her, "What do you think?" ”

The stinky pond in Linjiang, he lived enough at the time, it was so dirty and dilapidated, and no one wanted to give it away, so he gave Xia Jin an idea, and it magically became a prosperous new area in Linjiang, and Xia Jin, Luo Qian and others also took the opportunity to make a lot of money. Xia Jin's wisdom is praised by the emperor and the queen mother.

So as soon as he heard Xia Jin say that he had ideas, he was looking forward to it.

Xia Jin didn't answer and asked: "What do you think is the reason why the Northern Liang Kingdom keeps attacking the border of the Great Zhou?" ”

This question has been pondered by Su Muxian. Without thinking about it, he said, "Naturally, it's because it's poor." It is full of deserts, Gobi and wastelands, and it is impossible to grow food, and the cattle and sheep raised cannot support such a number of people. Hungry, they could only rob the food and money of the people of Dazhou. (To be continued)
