After settling the families of the eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji and Dou Cong, Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing, the eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji, and Dou Cong gathered in the eldest grandson Zhan courtyard to discuss how to act next.

At this time, Liu Wenjing and Li Shimin had a deep relationship, and they already understood his ambitions.

Before the army was raised, only five people were involved in the core secrets: Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, and Dou Cong.

Liu Wenjing has been an official for many years, is familiar with the operation of officialdom, and knows all kinds of relations and public sentiments in Jinyang, and Li Shimin naturally regards him as a think tank.

------

Liu Wenjing told Li Shimin that the most important of his list of officials was Pei Lian.

Pei Lin and Tang Guogong Li Yuan were the oldest friends, and the relationship was the closest, and the two feasted and drank together all day long, hunted in the fields, and talked to each other about everything.

As Li Yuan's son, Li Shimin has many things that are inconvenient to say directly to Li Yuan, but he can convey them to Li Yuan through Pei Lian's mouth.

Pei Lian, as the driver of Jinyang Palace, is currently the person in charge of Jinyang Palace, and there are countless grains, ordnance, and armor stored in the palace, which can be used for military purposes once there is a major event.

------

According to Li Shimin's thinking, if there is no real chaos today, we must still be ready to wait, and as few people as possible will know about the future mobilization of troops, so as not to cause the leakage of secrets.

Li Shimin believes that the most important thing at present is to encircle Pei Lian, and the other people on the list, led by Liu Wenjing, are going hand in hand to strengthen ties, and at present, they are still mainly focusing on increasing contacts and deepening personal feelings.

The eldest grandson, Shunde, mainly contacted Pei Lin and Jinyang's civil officials; Liu Hongji's courtyard mainly contacted the military attachés of Jinyang; Dou Cong, Ding Jikan, and Duan Zhixuan contacted local powerful and wealthy businessmen; The courtyard where the eldest grandson Zhan lived served as a place for the five of them to discuss confidential matters.

------

In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of outsiders, the three courtyards acted separately, and before the major event was decided, only the relationship was contacted, and the matters discussed were not to involve confidentiality.

Li Shimin explained, "The five of us can walk back and forth between these four courtyards. But the person with whom he contacts can only go to one of the courtyards on a fixed basis."

The other four agreed that it would be best.

Li Shimin also told the eldest grandson, Shunde, Liu Hongji, and Dou Cong, that they should strictly control the domestic slaves and slaves in their courtyards, and not divulge any secrets to the outside world.

------

From then on, Liu Wenjing threaded the needle, and the three courtyards where the eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji and Dou Cong lived, began to contact Jinyang officials and local heroes.

Those who often go to Liu Hongji's courtyard include Jiang Baoyi, the general of Yingyanglang, Sima Liu Zhenghui of Yingyang Mansion, Xu Shixu, Si Cang, Zhao Wenke, and Zhang Pinggao, the captain of Yingyang Mansion.

often go to the courtyard of the eldest grandson Shunde, there are Shiai County Ling Yin Qiao, Longshan County Ling Gao Binlian, and later Pei Lin also became a frequent visitor here.

Tang Xian, Tang Jian brothers, Liu Shilong, the head of Jinyang Township, and the Yingyang Mansion team are often in and out of the courtyard where Dou Cong lives, Ding Jikan and Duan Zhixuan are already familiar with these people, and soon the relationship between several people is like life and death brothers.

Li Shimin and Jinyang's civil and military officials and Haoqiang have more and more contacts, and their friendship with each other has become deeper and deeper.

Seeing that everything was going as expected, Li Shimin began to think about how to pull Pei Lin next.

------

Just when Li Shimin was thinking about how to win over Pei Lian, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong, gave Guanyin a problem.

One afternoon, Li Yuan returned to the official office after drinking outside, and Li Shimin and Guanyin went over to serve.

Li Shimin saw that Li Yuan was not too drunk, so he helped Li Yuan to the kang, and the three of them talked for a while, and then asked Zifu to serve Lord Lang and rest for a while.

Then, Li Shimin and Guanyin left the upper room and returned to their courtyard.

------

Returning from the upper room, Li Shimin told Guanyin that he had something to do in the courtyard of the eldest grandson Shunde.

Not long after Li Shimin walked by, Zifu came to see Guanyin.

Guanyin asked Zifu to sit down and speak.

Zifu didn't sit down as she said, but stood there with her head down, her hands twisting the corners of her clothes, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't say it.

------

When Guanyin saw that Zifu wanted to speak and stopped, she asked her, "Zifu, do you have anything to say?"

Zifu still lowered her head, not daring to look at Guanyin.

Guanyin looked at Qin Lan and Shiqin, who were female celebrities next to her, and thought that it was probably inconvenient for outsiders to speak.

She deliberately separated Qin Lan and Shiqin, and said to the two of them, "You guys go and do other things, I'll talk to Zifu for a while."

------

After Qin Lan and Shiqin left, Guanyin said to Zifu, "If you have something, just say it."

Zifu slurred, and muttered in her mouth, "Lord Lang, he ......."

Guanyin asked, "What's wrong with Lord Lang?"

Zifu lowered her head and blushed, not knowing how to answer.

Guanyin encouraged Zifu, "Just say it, I won't blame you for saying something wrong."

Zifu felt that even if she was embarrassed, she had to say it, so she told Guanyin what had just happened.

------

After Li Shimin and Guanyin left from the upper room, Zifu served Li Yuan to rest.

While helping him change clothes, Li Yuan suddenly grabbed Zifu's hand.

Zifu saw that Li Yuan was a little drunk, her eyes were staring at her strangely, she was a little frightened, and she didn't dare to move when she stood still.

Li Yuan took Zifu's hand, spoke a little vaguely and asked how old Zifu was this year.

------

Zifu was at a loss, so she didn't speak, what Zifu didn't expect was that Li Yuan actually hugged her in his arms and came up to kiss her.

Zifu was scared in her heart, afraid that Li Yuan would do something out of the ordinary after drinking, so she struggled hard.

She whispered to Li Yuan while struggling,

"Lord Lang, you drank wine before, and Madame always let you have a good rest, or I will cook you a bowl of decanting soup according to Madame's recipe."

Li Yuan heard Zifu mention Madame, probably because Mrs. Dou was still in his heart, so he let Zifu go.

------

Guanyin listened to Zifu's words, and she didn't speak for a long time, and she didn't comment on whether what Li Yuan did was right or wrong.

According to common sense, if the Lang Lord takes a slave as a concubine, it is understandable.

In that era, the lives of slaves and maids were as cheap as mustard, and even their lives were not worth mentioning, where was there chastity at all?

For ordinary slaves and maids, being able to become the concubine of the Lang master means that the status has been improved, and I don't know how many slaves and maids want to get the favor of the Lang master, but they are afraid that the Lang master will not look down on them.

------

Guanyin thought that her father, Changsun Sheng, was forty-three years old when he married his mother Gao Qiuniang, and Gao Qiuniang was only thirteen years old at the time.

Now Mrs. Dou has been dead for many years, and Li Yuan is fifty years old and has not continued the string.

Guanyin didn't know if Li Yuan needed to continue the string or take a concubine.

Li Yuan, as the Duke of Tang Guo, continuing or taking concubines is a reasonable thing for outsiders, and it will be more straightforward to do this openly. If he accepted the maid in his room like this, he would be laughed at if it was spread out.

------

Guanyin didn't know what Zifu thought.

If Li Yuan and Zifu are willing to do so, Guanyin will not be able to interfere.

If Zifu was unwilling, Guanyin couldn't bear to let her be hurt.

Guanyin asked Zifu, "What do you think about this?"

Zifu said with a sad face, "I'm afraid that Lord Lang will do this again in the future."

------

After Mrs. Dou's death, Zifu and Qingyan did not talk to other masters, and the two of them have followed Guanyin for many years, and Guanyin and the two of them also have a deep affection for master and servant.

Now seeing that Zifu is in trouble, Guanyin feels that it is her bounden duty to help Zifu get out of trouble, and she feels the need to make a plan for Zifu.

------

Guanyin said softly for Zifu's ideas,

"If you are afraid that Lord Lang will do this again, when you serve Lord Lang in the future, you will go with Qingyan. You also talk to Qingyan, try not to be alone."

"Lord Lang is not an unreasonable person, and he will not do anything to you."

Zifu nodded helplessly, still looking apprehensive.

------.

Guanyin continued to comfort Zifu softly,

"You and Qingyan have been with me for many years, and I won't watch you get hurt. You two be careful for the time being, Erlang-kun and I will help you figure out a solution."

Zifu listened to Guanyin and said that she would help find a way, and said gratefully,

"Sanniang thinks about the slave and maid everywhere, the slave and maid can't repay your kindness in this life, and you will have to repay it again when you are a cow and a horse in the next life."

Guanyin finally whispered, "You go back first, and serve Lord Lang well." Remember today's events, don't tell anyone about it, even the geese."

Zifu couldn't help nodding her head, promising to do what Guanyin told her, and after thanking her for her kindness, she bowed to Guanyin with her crossed hands and knees before turning around and leaving.

------

In the evening, Li Shimin came back from outside, saw Guanyin sitting on the kang with an unhappy face, and did not greet him or speak when he saw him.

Li Shimin felt strange, she was still happy when she left, why did she come back and seemed to be angry? He took off his shoes and sat down next to Guanyin, and asked with concern, "Who provoked our maid?"

After speaking, he leaned up and looked face to face at Guanyin's eyes.

------

Guanyin saw Li Shimin's concerned expression, and laughed out loud.

Li Shimin lightly tapped Guanyin's head with his finger, "What kind of trick are you playing with me again?"

Guanyin couldn't help but ask Li Shimin, "Are you men inseparable from women?"

Li Shimin looked stunned, and didn't understand why she asked such a tricky question.

------

As soon as Li Shimin came back, he was confused by Guanyin, and I don't know if this occasionally tricky little sister is playing a prank.

He was afraid that Guanyin would dig a trap for him to jump, so he didn't answer directly, but asked her instead, "What do you mean by asking?"

Guanyin said with a smile, "Some time ago, Uncle Cong pulled his face all day long, as if everyone owed him a few thousand taels of gold. Ever since he brought his aunt, he has been like a different person, happy all day long, like a child."

------

Li Shimin still didn't understand what Guanyin was going to say.

He continued, "Isn't it your idea to pick up your aunt? Isn't that ridiculous?"

Guanyin stopped laughing, with a solemn face, "There is one thing I said, you are not allowed to be angry."

Li Shimin deliberately twisted, "You haven't said it yet, how do I know if I'm angry or not?"

Guanyin saw Li Shimin fighting against her, and she also looked helpless.

"Forget it, if you want to be angry, I won't say anything."

Li Shimin saw that he couldn't resist Guanyin, so he had to say, "Okay, I'm not angry, you can say it."

------

Guanyin's face was sly, "You said that you are not angry."

Li Shimin repeated his words again, "I'm not angry."

Guanyin first praised Li Shimin,

"This time to pick up the family, Brother Shimin is very thoughtful."

"Not only did I pick up my aunt, but I also brought my aunt, Liu's sister-in-law and Xin'er."

"But you forgot to think about the other person."

Li Shimin asked suspiciously, "Forgot which one you considered?"

------

Guanyin didn't answer Li Shimin's words, and said again, "You said you weren't angry."

Li Shimin felt that Guanyin's words were strange, and he urged Guanyin, "Who did you forget to consider? Say it."

Guanyin sat up straight and said seriously, "I forgot to think about my father."
