"It's because I was too willful before, and I want to see the morning view on the river, so it's no wonder that he is."

He said with a look of loneliness in his eyes, "It's just that after standing for a quarter of an hour and wearing a lot of clothes, I was infected with the wind cold." ”

At this time, the fourth prince noticed that Zong Zeming was wrapped in a thick coat of fox fur and a thick velvet blanket on his body, as if he had entered the middle of winter.

He couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, this sick man's body really couldn't stand the cold at all.

"Since you know that you are not in good health, you should not be reckless. His Highness brought you out to let you relax. If you aggravate your condition willfully, not to mention that it is not good for you, your father will not allow you to go out at will in the future. ”

The fourth prince sighed, and then persuaded.

Seeing that Zong Zeming was silent, the fourth prince carefully observed the other party's expression, and then said tentatively: "If you put the Luoyuan next to Your Highness to serve you, she has always been more thoughtful than Little Orange." ”

Little Orange's face turned pale when he heard this, and he begged to look at his master, if he really let Luoyuan come, would there be any place for him?

Zong Zeming waved his hand, "Although the little orange is a little out of it, I'm used to it." Luo Yuan is your personal maid, and you can make it easy for you, so you should keep it for yourself! ”

The fourth prince was not disappointed when he heard this, "Okay! If you lack a man, speak to your Highness. ”

Su Yizhao thought that the fifth prince would not tell the second old lady their true purpose, but this time she guessed wrong.

The five princes not only told the matter of having iron mines, but also when the two old ladies vaguely expressed their desire to get a piece of the pie, the five princes did not refuse.

Although he did not explicitly agree, his attitude was very ambiguous.

This news made Su Yizhao's mind turn for a while, what do these five princes mean?

If it is said that the mining is jointly opened, isn't it more convenient to find the merchants in the capital city?

What does the Su family have, it can't suppress other families, and it doesn't have that much ability to open mines, isn't this a benefit?

Su Yizhao was puzzled, but he was vigilant in his heart.

She didn't know Su Jinxun's thoughts, but at present, Su Jinxun should not take refuge in the Fifth Prince. If the second old lady and the five princes got aboarded, would they still be able to leave it clear in the future?

Su Yizhao suddenly thought of Su Yijue again, and the house still valued Su Yijue a little. If the news is revealed to Su Yijue, maybe Su Yijue has other ways.

Su Jinxun revealed to her that if you really can't make up your mind about something, you can go to Su Yijue.

She herself is weak, and she can't tell what means Su Yijue has in her hands.

But how can the news be revealed? If you expose yourself, it will definitely not work.

As soon as the second old lady and the fifth prince finished talking, they received the news, which inevitably aroused suspicion, thinking that they had planted a secret agent on the second old lady's side.

She pondered for a moment, returned to the bookcase, wrote two sentences with a pen in her left hand, and then commanded Acacia.

"You've been all over the house, haven't you? You know the courtyard where my fifth brother is, and secretly put this on the bookcase in his study. ”

After Acacia left, Su Yizhao thought of Su Wenqing again, Su Wenqing secretly came to Beiyuan Mansion for what?

Is it this stall also for iron ore?

Su Yizhao suddenly felt that this father couldn't see through it.

……

"Second brother, what do you mean by the fifth prince?"

After the five princes left, the two old ladies still did not leave, but speculated on the intentions of the five princes in the outer study.

"Father, I think the fifth prince didn't refuse, and he probably wanted to cooperate with our Su family."

Su Wenhui pondered for a moment, and then came to a conclusion.

The second old lady frowned, but she was not so optimistic in her heart.

He had now calmed down and began to analyze the intentions of the Five Princes.

"Things are by no means so simple, in the final analysis, we have to admit that our Su family has no advantage in this matter. First, it is not as good as those merchants who have financial and human resources; Second, if we don't have the power and connections of those officials, what do we have? ”

When the third old lady heard this, he was very dissatisfied.

"The eldest brother is a member of the third rank, and he has been an official in the court for many years, why does he have no power and no connections? As for money, if you have the right to get it, what's so worrying about that? ”

The second old lady suddenly sank his face, "Third child, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

"The ancestral training of our Su family, those who enter the court as officials, are not allowed to accept bribes, and they are not allowed to loot the people's fat and ointment."

This is absolutely not to be touched, the ancestors wrote it in the group training, and every clan member must abide by it.

The third old lady saw that his brother was angry, and although he was still a little unconvinced, he still kept his mouth shut.

The eldest brother has been an official for so many years, who knows if he has accepted bribes, and sometimes he can't help himself, even if you don't want to accept it.

"I can really think of a way to deal with the silver. But the matter of mining is not as simple as we think. Playing up and down in the middle of the court requires connections and money. There are also the snakes of the land, those merchants, who will surely stumble in the backs. ”

The second old lady pondered for a moment. Then he continued: "Our Su family can't eat such a big piece of meat, once those people are red-eyed, they won't make us feel better." ”

"But ......" Su Wenyue, the eldest son of the third old lady, was unwilling, did he miss the opportunity so much?

"Have you ever wondered? What our Su family can guess, other families will not know anything about? ”

The second old lady looked at everyone, and then snorted coldly: "Hmph! They probably know more than we do. said that it was a secret order, but the fifth prince acted in such a high-profile manner, which showed that he just wanted the matter to be spread. Because he was afraid of the emperor, he had no choice but to make this decision, wanting to reap the benefits of it. ”

Everyone felt justified when they heard this, and Su Wenhui analyzed: "Then he may have such a vague attitude towards other families, not for our Su family." ”

The second old lady glanced at Su Wenhui with satisfaction, "Yes, that's exactly what my father meant." ”

The third old lady twitched, although he felt that the father and son were boasting, but he also felt that what they said was reasonable.

"Second uncle, what should we do next?" Su Wenyue immediately asked.

"No hurry! The old man looked at the unhurried attitude of the five princes, it should have just begun, and he was not sure whether the mineral deposits were rich. The most important thing now is to find out the recent movements of other families, and keep an eye on the whereabouts of the fifth prince to see who he has been close to recently. ”

The second old lady stroked her beard, and she couldn't rush anything.

The third old lady nodded, "Exactly!" The five princes must find a good one, and at present, it has not been determined which one it is. ”

"Hmmm! And as an official eunuch, we should not take action in person. In the past few days, the third child has been thinking and thinking, and he is attached to our family on weekdays, and he is obedient, which can be used by us. ”
