"No need." Su Zhaoning handed back the three account books to Shopkeeper Chen and said, "According to what Shopkeeper Chen said before, I will look for you to get the silver when I need it." ”

"But the time and place to take the silver, don't come to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion like today. I'll go find you. Su Zhaoning admonished.

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen couldn't believe his ears at all. He looked at Su Zhaoning in front of him with wide eyes, suspecting that the Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis who said this was not the same as the Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis who checked the accounts earlier.

If this account is found out that the money is written too much, it is still possible for the other party to order it like this. Why did he admit that he had written less in the account, but Mrs. Dingyuan still chose to let it go?

Also, what does it mean that she doesn't let herself come to the door again, and still doesn't want these three properties?

"Madam, do you suspect that the subordinates are lying to you? It is indeed the big shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, and you can be sure if you ask a little second question. Shopkeeper Chen tried to explain.

Su Zhaoning sat back in his seat and replied, "Shopkeeper Chen should have brought silver with him today, right?" ”

"Brought it." Shopkeeper Chen didn't understand the meaning of this question, and replied in a daze.

"Leave me ten thousand taels." Su Zhaoning took a sip of the tea on the table, and his tone was as flat as if he only had a hundred taels.

Shopkeeper Chen's eyes widened even more now. Feelings: This lady is ready to ignore the account, as long as the money.

The money is not his. The four princes themselves would not say that one would cost ten thousand taels!

Steward Chen took it out of his pocket for a long time, and then offered it with both hands: "I only brought three thousand taels of silver tickets with me." ”

Shopkeeper Chen recalled that the fourth prince had told him to bring some silver out, so he added the 1,000 taels he had originally prepared to 3,000 taels.

But it turned out that this amount of money was not even half of what people wanted.

Shopkeeper Chen was afraid that Su Zhaoning would be unhappy, so he asked, "Let's come again next afternoon?" ”

"Shopkeeper Chen still don't come to the door. If you think about it, you'll see what I mean. Su Zhaoning instructed Bai Shudao, "Send Shopkeeper Chen out." ”

Shopkeeper Chen, who didn't know that he was disgusted, walked out of the door of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, looked up at the sky, and looked confused.

Is his mission completed or not?

Before Shopkeeper Chen came back to restore his life, the four princes had already listened to the guards tell him what had happened.

He frowned and said, "I chose Chen Baosheng that day because I valued him as a good manager of accounts. Now that I think about it, I still can't just look at this place. ”

The staff arched his hand and said: "Your Highness means that Mrs. Dingyuan's move is an insight into the fact that Shopkeeper Chen is also His Highness's person?" ”

"Not only insightful, but also a reminder to His Highness." Another staff member said on the side, "I think that this Chen Baosheng will not be able to go directly to His Highness's door in the future." ”

"The second prince has been grounded, Your Highness, you have also broken your arm because of the matter in Youzhou, I don't think the rest of the princes will wait blindly." The staff analyzed the situation and said, "Your Highness, you might as well invite yourself to escort grain and grass for General Chen in the court tomorrow, and gamble on the victory or defeat of Jingmen Pass." ”

"Jingmen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and His Royal Highness sends grain and grass, although it can make meritorious contributions, it is also easy to be implicated. What's more, now the Invalids have passed through the ten states of Jingmen. ”

The opinions of these two staff members were always completely opposite, but the fourth prince was not bothered at all. The decision-making of the superior is not to blindly follow the advice of others, but to weigh the pros and cons and make the most advantageous choice.

In the court the next day, there was far more than one prince who stood up and was willing to escort grain and grass.

Coupled with the eleventh prince born last year, the emperor has a full eleven sons, although there are only four princes who are adults, but this year the emperor allowed the fifth, sixth and seventh princes to go to court.

The fifth prince was fifteen years old, and the sixth and seventh princes were only thirteen years old. The three of them were above the court, and they basically didn't have any opinions, but they mainly listened to them.

However, when the eldest prince and the fourth prince both offered to personally escort the grain and grass, the three little princes all stood up.

The fifth prince said: "General Chen went out at the age of fifteen and defeated the enemy army in the battle of Jingmen Pass. Erchen is also fifteen years old this year, and Erchen is willing to share his father's worries! ”

The sixth prince and the seventh prince said: "The sons are also willing to share their father's worries!" ”

In addition to recuperating at home, he was also the second prince who was grounded, and five of the six princes of the previous dynasty proposed to escort grain and grass to share worries for the monarch. The three princes couldn't bear it, so they had to come out and say: "The sons and ministers have heard that the people all say that only when there is a country can there be a home." The sons are the sons and sons of the emperor, and the country is also the home of the sons. Now that Rongguo has broken the contract, Nanyu is eyeing my home, like leaning down to see people sleeping before the collapse. Erchen is determined that the ten states of Jingmen will not be taken back, and Erchen will never marry a wife! The invalids were not expelled from their home country for a day, and the sons did not think about marriage for a day! ”

Hearing the words of the three princes, the courtiers burst into tears. The secretary of the military department said: "Rongguo has not been expelled from his home country for a day, and the ministers have not returned home for a day." I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty and die! ”

"The ministers are willing to bow down and die for Your Majesty!" The rest of the courtiers chimed in.

The three princes' ambitions aroused the response of the ministers, and the emperor also praised loudly: "The emperor is filial, and I am deeply grateful." I am deeply moved. ”

The eldest prince listened to it so much that his lungs were about to explode. Obviously, the first person to take the initiative to ask for food was himself, but now the limelight is all occupied by the third child!

Why don't you marry a wife, the three concubines have accepted two, and the concubines have all been. What's wrong with not marrying a wife for a while?

And himself, although the concubine entered the door, she hadn't even laid a single egg! What can I say? If you also study the books of the Ministry of War, you will never return home?

Which prince has no heirs?

The wind and clouds are surging in the court, and outside the court, it is not calm.

Although Chen Tianyang is known as a victorious general, it will take him time to rush from the capital to Jingmen. As soon as the Jingmen Pass was broken, the enemy army drove straight into the city and captured the ten neighboring cities.

Hearing that the emperor had decided that the three princes would send grain and grass, the harem concubines were also restless.

The biological mother of the third prince, Concubine De, cleared out a lot of jewelry and had the intention of holding a charity donation, but because the queen had not yet spoken, she did not dare to act rashly.

The biological mothers of the fifth, sixth and seventh princes listened to the situation in the court, and their hearts were also playing.

The third prince went to deliver food, which seems to be a good thing, but the battlefield is dangerous, what if General Chen is no longer victorious and defeated? What if the three princes who sent food were in chaos?

So it's better to stay in the capital and do some face-saving work.

The biological mother of the seventh prince is from the palace of the eldest princess of Chaoyang. After she had an idea, she didn't dare to act rashly on her own, so she took advantage of the eldest princess of Chaoyang to report to the other party when she entered the palace.

Concubine De wanted to hold a charity donation, but the concubine thought that the charity sale might be better. Jewelry hairpin rings, these are really useless to the border. If you are in a hurry to exchange it for silver taels, you will have to be depressed by those merchants. After the concubine finished speaking, she glanced up at the expression of the eldest princess of Chaoyang, and added cautiously, "The concubine has a humble opinion, which makes the eldest princess smile." ”

The eldest princess of Chaoyang raised her eyebrows and looked at the nails on her hands.

Concubine Xi hurriedly raised her hand carefully to hold the hand of the eldest princess of Chaoyang, and then said: "The concubine hasn't rubbed your hands for the eldest princess for a long time, please reward the concubine for serving you once." ”

The eldest princess of Chaoyang smiled: "You are now the mother of the Seventh Prince, it is not appropriate to do this." ”

"There is nothing inappropriate, the concubine has been the eldest princess and your maid all her life, and it is a blessing for the concubine to be able to serve the eldest princess." Seeing that the eldest princess of Chaoyang had no objection in her expression, Xi Concubine hurriedly took out the set of bottles and cans of her guards, and then rubbed her hands for the other party as she did in the mansion of the eldest princess of Chaoyang.

She is also this point into the eyes of the eldest princess of Chaoyang, Xi Concubine knows where her advantages are, she is not ashamed, but carries this point forward all the time.

Sometimes, this is where the success of such little people lies.

Before the Lantern Festival came out, the courtiers and wives of the family all received invitations from the eldest princess of Chaoyang. Different from the previous intensive and casual banquets, this banquet, the female official of the eldest princess of Chaoyang personally wrote the pen to promote the importance of the charity sale in the tone of the eldest princess of Chaoyang, and moved out of the queen's mother.

In addition to the queen, of course, the other concubines will also move to the Chaoyang Eldest Princess's Mansion.

When she got the news, Concubine De's intestines were full of remorse. This idea was obviously thought up by her first, but she didn't expect to be taken by the eldest princess of Chaoyang.

But whoever does it first will obviously be given the credit.

The whole banquet was unprecedentedly lively.

No matter which family the wife or the family of the court official is, they dare not sell the face of the queen.

Su Zhenyi, who attended with Mrs. Bai of the Ministry of Rites, met Su Zhaoning, the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan, who had not seen her for a long time.

Su Zhenyi's belly was already very big, and when she saw Su Zhaoning leading Nan Minxing to the side of the banquet, she stood in the middle of the road and stopped the two.

"Second sister, long time no see." Su Zhaoning stroked his abdomen while looking at Nan Minxing beside Su Zhaoning.

She raised her lips and smiled: "I thought that I was behind the second sister, but I had to get pregnant first than taking the opportunity." In the future, the child will be an older brother. Now it seems that the second sister is slightly better. ”

Su Zhenyi's words were full of malicious provocations.

Nan Minxing completely understood what the other party meant. He looked at Su Zhenyi, who was obviously with a big belly, but still full of beads, and raised his voice and called: "Auntie, don't worry, you look much older than my mother!" Anyone who sees you will see you as a sister. ”

Su Zhenyi's most conceited thing is her appearance. was ridiculed by Nan Minxing on her appearance, and her emotions suddenly got out of control.

Looking at Su Zhaoning, whose face was so calm that it made people jealous, Su Zhenyi blurted out vicious words: "Second sister really has a good son!" It's a pity that you can only have this one son! ”

"Then I congratulate the third sister in advance on having many sons, three this year, five next year, and ten the year after." Su Zhaoning replied as usual.

When Su Zhenyi heard the first sentence, she was still a little proud: "Of course, I will naturally have a lot of sons, three this year and ...... next year."

Su Zhenyi came back to her senses, and her breath was suddenly stalked in her chest, and she couldn't go up or down.
