Although it is no longer the era of the high-grade Wuhan clan and the low-grade Wushi clan, the wealthy family is no longer at the peak of the year, and there is no longer a state and a government that is completely controlled by a certain family, but some big families still firmly grasp the crucial military and political power, among which the Xiao family is even more so. Xiao Yu and Xiao Lie, the father and son, overthrew the imperial Qin family, and then mastered half of the Great Zheng Empire, which can be said to be in the limelight for a while.

As the second son of the Xiao family, Xiao Jin, who has the blood of the Xiao family and the Qin family, is not unprecious, and he is engaged to the Yan family after Hou Jian, which is naturally a big deal. However, for this major event, the attitude of the two heads of the Xiao family was unexpectedly cold.

Xiao Lie from the Eastern Capital, who was sitting in the eastern capital, just said that he knew, and there was no follow-up, and Xiao Yu from the central capital was even more noncommittal about this matter, and even did not show up on the day of the engagement banquet, which made many good people think about it, looking at this attitude, is the old prince and the prince disagree? Then why does the little prince have to marry this woman, could it be that this woman is the best in the world, so that the little prince loses his soul?

For this kind of stalemate, Xiao Jin is not in a hurry, he is well versed in the truth of one thing descending one thing, and it is true that he can't deal with Xiao Yu by himself, but someone can. Because everyone in the capital knows that the most effective thing to speak in the Northwest Palace is not the young vassal king, but the princess Lin Yinping. So Xiao Jin naturally begged her sister-in-law Lin Yinping's side, bowed low and made a small one, crying and pitiful. Lin Yinping was probably because he was going to be a mother, and he couldn't stand this, so he took the initiative to preside over Xiao Jin's engagement, and then went to Xiao Yu's side to make peace. And Xiao Yu, the name of the prince who is afraid of the inside, is not in vain, and he does not refute his wife, which is tantamount to acquiescing in this family business.

After the two decided on a family affair, Xiao Jin led Wan Yan Yingzhu, who was a head taller than herself, to meet Lin Yinping, and Lin Yinping was not stingy, and gave the string of purple-eyed beads and an imperial green bracelet to his future brother-in-law Quan as a meeting gift. This made Wan Yan Yingzhu flattered, but also really saw the wealth of the princess. It is said that the northwest is poor, but Lin Yinping is really not poor, she first inherited the huge wealth of the Lin family, and then vigorously supported the caravan during her own reign, Xiao Yu has always been resigned to this aspect, and the grassland has no reason to obstruct her own princess, so the eighteen caravans under Lin Yinping's name can bring her a full 800,000 taels of silver every year, and half of the 800,000 taels of silver will be classified into Lin Yinping's private treasury, and the other half will be part of the private treasury of the palace, and part of it will be classified into the northwest finance. Lin Yinping's renovation of the palace is to use the private treasury of the palace, and such as rewarding people or preparing gifts for the New Year, he uses his own private treasury, and these two pieces of jewelry are worth more than 300,000 taels of silver, which is staggering.

Wan Yan Yingzhu has long heard of this famous princess of the Northwest, originally in her mind, Lin Yinping should have a mean face, acting arrogantly, and even made Wan Yan Yingzhu a little worried and afraid, such a woman who does not allow her husband to take concubines and is called a jealous woman, should be a fierce and feminine woman, until she followed Xiao Jin to the Windward Pavilion to see Lin Yinping, Wan Yan Yingzhu's worry and fear disappeared completely, but she still admired Lin Yinping, such a weak woman, the northerner and the south, and her voice is also soft, no matter how she looks at it, she doesn't look like a heroine among women, how can she be so fearless, not only accompanied Xiao Yu to play a huge northwest, but also held Xiao Yu firmly in the palm of his hand.

After the ceremony, Lin Yinping left the two to go to the Ming Garden to eat together, and it happened that Xiao Yu walked into the Ming Garden alone, so Lin Yinping kept him too, and let the kitchen make one more person to eat together.

Xiao Yu didn't shirk, but just asked Zhang Baisui, who was guarding the door, to go to Wentizhai to report the news first. This opened Wan Yan Yingzhu's eyes, the king of the northwest really obeyed the princess as rumored, but he didn't know how the princess controlled the king of the northwest domain.

Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Jin obliquely, Xiao Jin coughed dryly, moved his body slightly, and sat not far from Lin Yinping, obviously to use his sister-in-law as a shield, so as not to be reprimanded by his brother.

Xiao Yu snorted lightly, and turned to sit on the embroidery pier with a little helpless Lord Wanyan, squeezing out a slight smile on his face, "Yingzhu, don't be restrained, when I saw you some time ago, but the women didn't let the style of the eyebrows, and now they have become a family, and there is no reason to be more reactive." ”

Wan Yan Yingzhu lowered his head and smiled.

Xiao Yu glanced at the hand beads on her wrist and said with a smile: "This is given by your sister-in-law? I'm not as rich as your sister-in-law, so I won't give it away, don't tell Xuanyin that I'm stingy in the future." ”

Wan Yan Yingzhu said in a low voice: "Princess...... The sister-in-law's gift has already made Yingzhu panic, how dare she get an inch?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I'm not the kind of person who sells my reputation and reputation, and I won't do anything thrifty in the name of cherishing the people, some things are better to go with the flow." ”

Wan Yan Yingzhu seemed to understand what he heard, and said: "In the early years, there was a prime minister in Houjian, who had an excellent reputation and excellent conduct, and did not accept half a penny of money, but liked fame. At that time, the prime minister was in charge of the household department, and after the general view, the financial power was established, and someone voted for him, and sent the prime minister's inscription into a notebook to his house, so he got an errand for the household department, and made a lot of money. Later, when the East Window incident happened, the prime minister was planted because of this small poster, and the matter spread to the world. Fame and fortune have always been fame before fortune, and it is really admirable that my brother can not be famous. ”

Xiao Yu stroked his palms and smiled: "Listen, Yingzhu is able to speak, it makes people feel comfortable to listen to, I don't know how many times stronger than Huaiyu." ”

Wan Yan Ying smiled softly and smiled without showing teeth.

It was getting late, and the four of them ate together around the round table. Xiao Yu was in a good mood, and he didn't pay attention to eating and sleeping, but talked about old things, especially Xiao Jin's serious little adult appearance when he was a child, which made Xiao Yu unforgettable. Xiao Jin also exposed Xiao Yu's shortcomings in a timely manner, saying that Xiao Yu's bitter and hateful appearance in his early years made everyone seem to owe him a million silver coins. The two brothers exposed each other's shortcomings to make the cheers on the table not count, at this time, Xiao Yu and the others couldn't see the style of the nobles of the palace, but like the sister-in-law and brothers of ordinary people, and they were happy.

Wanyan Yingzhu whispered two or three sentences from time to time, until Lin Yinping's address to her was unconsciously changed from Yingzhu to Zhu girl, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that after she got the approval of the hostess of the palace, this was really integrated into the Northwest Palace.

The night was getting deeper, Xiao Yu had no intention of leaving, it seemed that he was planning to spend the night in Mingyuan, Xiao Jin took Wan Yan Yingzhu up to say goodbye and went back to his jade garden.

After Xiao Jin left, Xiao Yu took Lin Yinping back to the bedroom of the two, and said flatly: "Huaiyu has been busy with family affairs these days, and a lot of official business has been put to me, I originally planned to stay in Wentizhai tonight, but I didn't expect to be left by you again." ”

Lin Yinping glanced at him and said, "What, don't you want to stay?" That's good, anyway, Wen Tizhai is not far away, you can just go back." ”

Xiao Yu reached out and touched her belly, and said with a smile: "You are probably tired from sleeping, let your husband help you turn over tonight." ”

Lin Yinping was about to speak, Xiao Yu had already straightened his face and said: "Say something serious, it's not easy to finish Yan Yingzhu this woman, don't be fooled by her in a few words, and Huaiyu, this kid, if you say it well, it's a good idea, if you say it badly, it's wilting, don't get too used to him, now whether it's Lin Han or Xiao Jin, come and go your way when you encounter something, you are good, you don't refuse, you are a good person and don't complain, let me sing black face there alone." ”

Lin Yinping chirped: "What do you mean by me being a good person, who is stopping you from being a good person?

Xiao Yu said helplessly: "I'm not stuck in their necks, it's ......"

Lin Yinping interrupted him and said: "Okay, I know what you want to say, and you also know that you are singing blackface, then I naturally want to sing redface, what can I agree to, what I can't agree, I have a sense of proportion." ”

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, not knowing what to say.

Lin Yinping walked to the inner room with his waist on his own, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I also helped you take charge of the northwest, and this matter is not confused." ”
