The next day, Rendian Street, in a mansion not far from Fan Lou.

Fan Xuewen was lying on the rosewood couch and kept screaming "ouch", and Mr. Wu sat next to him with kind words of comfort.

"Dadong, fortunately, the official family is merciful, and the criminal system is modified, and the big battle executed during the Taizu period is changed to a small battle, otherwise the twenty kills will be beaten down, and if you don't die, you will have broken bones and tendons, and you will not be able to get out of bed from now on."

Fan Xuewen endured the pain: "Even if it is a small battle, twenty strokes are almost killed, how can those who are assigned to the army survive a hundred sticks when they enter the camp?" ”

Mr. Wu said: "If you don't have everything, but if you are a good man, if you are not a good man, you will be killed." ”

"Alas, it's really bitter!" Fan Xuewen lay on the couch and cried out in pain.

Last night, Zhao Ta ran back to the West Building from the courtyard, but he didn't even want the Oiran lady, and the expenses in the pavilion didn't go to the checkout.

The official family was furious, so they wanted to behead him on the spot, but in the end, it was Master Li who interceded, and only fought for twenty, so that he couldn't get out of bed.

Fan Xuewen said with a sad face: "Mr. Wu, isn't this a disaster? The matter of the father and son of the official family, but in the end, he was angry with me, and he was beaten to reason with a good meal. ”

Mr. Wu sighed: "This matter...... Alas, don't think about it anymore, there is still a problem to make arrangements early. ”

Fan Xuewen trembled when he heard the word trouble, and hurriedly said: "I have beaten it, what trouble is there?" ”

Mr. Wu shook his head, looked at Fan Xuewen and said, "Didn't the big boss forget Zhao Yuannu?" ”

Fan Xuewen was annoyed when she heard this: "Last night's incident was all because of this little hoof, and she hasn't had time to punish it, and she won't do anything else in the future, she will go down to do laundry, cooking, and rough work, so that she will suffer from sin, which is even more uncomfortable than beating and scolding." ”

Mr. Wu said: "The big proprietor understands people's hearts, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, weekdays, once falling into the clouds, sometimes it is more uncomfortable than death, just ......"

Fan Xuewen listened to his tone and asked, "Just what?" ”

Mr. Wu touched his beard, and his face was solemn: "Didn't the big boss see it last night?" King Qi seems to have come specifically for this Zhao Yuannu, otherwise how could he make a big move? Although it was a good thing to bump into the official family and leave Zhao Yuannu in the front building, how could King Yiqi's temperament give up? ”

Fan Xuewen lay on the bed and thought about it: "It's also on!" What the gentleman said is extremely true, I think this King of Qi is irritable and fierce, and he acts cunning and ruthless, he must be that kind of ......."

When Mr. Wu heard this, he hurriedly said: "The big boss, please be cautious, be cautious." ”

Fan Xuewen was immediately startled, couldn't help but look out the window, and said suspiciously: "Mr. Wu......"

Mr. Wu said in a low voice: "King Qi is in charge of the troops, Si patrols day and night, and I heard that there are many strange people around him, at this moment, the matter is not over, the mansion of the big boss is no better than the official residence, and you have to be very careful when you speak!" ”

Fan Xuewen gasped when he heard this: "Yes, yes, I think that the Liao people were in the swing that year, it was the King of Qi who presided over it, I went to take a look, and there were many masters in the rivers and lakes, coming and going, like walking on the ground." ”

Mr. Wu nodded, and Fan Xuewen whispered: "King Qi will not give up, so according to what Mr. sees, how to do it?" ”

Mr. Wu said: "Since King Qi has taken a fancy to Zhao Yuannu, he can't let her show her face anymore and sing and dance with others." ”

Fan Xuewen said: "That's natural, if the King of Qi is worried, how dare she accompany the guest, who is not afraid of the sharp blade!" ”

Mr. Wu said again: "Zhao Yuannu is as famous as Master Li, but now Master Li is not out, and it is difficult for her to support the scene of Fan Lou alone, I think it is better for the big proprietor to bring out a few more Oiran, as for Zhao Yuannu ......"

"Why don't you send it directly to the palace?" Fan Xuewen interjected.

"It's not proper, it's too reckless not to say, and it's ......" Mr. Wu glanced at Fan Xuewen: "If you don't marry with the same surname, ordinary people are sneaky, how can the prince do it?" Blatantly being seen in the past, does King Qi accept it or not? You have to give a name when you accept it, but isn't it the idea of breaking that chair! ”

"Sir has a point." Fan Xuewen's heart moved, and said, "That chair? ”

Mr. Wu nodded: "Although the prince is in power, there is still hope!" ”

Fan Xuewen took a deep breath: "Please also ask Mr. to teach me." ”

"You might as well give Zhao Yuannu a separate yard, so that you can live and raise, you don't have to do anything, write a letter over there and send it to the palace, and let His Royal Highness King Qi decide at his own time." Mr. Wu muttered: "If the king of Qi doesn't care about the words outside, and then sends people to the house, if the king of Qi cares, even the courtyard will send people together, and the king of Qi will go whenever he wants to." ”

Fan Xuewen said happily: "What Mr. said is very wonderful, I want to come to the top pot for King Qi this time, and send the Oiran of the house, King Qi will definitely not forget the love of Fan Lou, so he leans on this big tree, if King Qi can really sit on that chair in the future, wouldn't my Fan Lou be ......"

Mr. Wu nodded slightly: "That's it, what the big owner thinks is right." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhao Ta is sick, although I don't know where the disease is, what the name of the disease is, and where it is uncomfortable, but he is sick, very sick, so sick that he can't get out of bed.

So he wrote an excerpt, planning to tell Emperor Daojun about his illness, and he didn't plan to participate in the celebration banquet tomorrow night, but wanted to recuperate at home.

Originally, he was going to send Huang Gu to deliver the letter, but it happened that Huang Gu was also sick, and he planned to send Su Shi again, but Su Shi broke his foot when he walked, and he limped and couldn't enter the palace.

Zhao Ta couldn't help but sigh that the world was difficult, the people's hearts were not ancient, and the team was becoming more and more difficult to lead, and in the end, there was no way to send someone to the palace to call Tan Zhen and let Tan Zhen go to the palace.

As a result, Tan Zhen came back dejected as soon as noon, saying that the official family on the excerpt did not approve it, and said that even if it was lifted, he had to be carried to the celebration banquet.

Zhao Ta was helpless, and after sending Tan Zhen away, he sat in the pavilion in a daze, thinking to himself I made your old man so angry, celebrating the banquet of King Qin or something, if you can avoid it, why do you have to carry it away......

He drank tea, his face was a little dazed and looked around, it was early autumn, the flowers and plants in the house were still very delicate, the fish in the pond under the pavilion were still very lively, and the wind was still very warm.

The celebration banquet is not a good place, not only the ministers of the court and the generals of this expedition to celebrate the king will participate, but even the crown prince will also appear.

He and Zhao Huan have a good relationship on the surface, and they don't want to be unhappy because of the celebration of the king, and they avoid the celebration banquet, even if Emperor Daojun still insists on moving the king of Qin to him, then if others are not present, the hatred will not be so high.

But now that he can't pretend to be sick, even if he doesn't go to the mansion, Emperor Daojun may really send a few eunuchs to carry him away.

When Zhao Ta was worried in his heart, suddenly the official family came to report that several princes and emperors in the palace had arrived.

This was explained yesterday, yesterday he sent someone into the palace to give Zheng Niangniang jewelry gifts, and said that there were still some things to give to his good brothers and sisters, but he didn't expect to arrive on time today.

After a while, I saw a few people coming to the pavilion, but it was Zhao Jinluo who led Zhao Hu'er, Zhao Fujin with Zhao Yingluo, followed by Zhao Gou and Zhao Mo.

Zhao Ta looked at the accompanying little eunuch in confusion: "Why didn't Zhang Zhiban come over?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, I don't know what happened to the official family last night, and now I can't get up from the bed. ”

Zhao Ta blinked, and after an "oh", he looked at the few people in front of him.

At the front is Zhao Jinluo, Zhao Jinluo is his half-sister, one year older than Zhao Fujin, and ranks fourth among the royal daughters.

Empress Zheng has a total of one son and five daughters, but the daughters of Emperor Shoushu and Emperor Rongshu both died early, and now there are four left: Zhao Ta, Zhao Yupan, Zhao Jinluo and Zhao Huer.

Zhao Yingluo, who Zhao Fujin was holding in his hand, was the daughter of the late Wang Guifei, and she was not the same mother as several people, but because she was Zhao Huer's playmate, Zhao Ta also called her.

As for asking Zhao Gou to come over, it's just because he is the only prince in the palace who is powerful and can open a bow and dance a knife, so he is a free bodyguard.

And Zhao Ta also wants to see him, after all, this kid is not pure-minded, and he often looks at it and ponders, which can also make him be honest.

Zhao Mo is one of the more cowardly princes, usually Zhao Yan and Zhao Gou's little followers, but he and Zhao Yan are both Zhao Fujin's younger brothers, and they worship Zhao Ta very much, so they also call him over.

At this time, everyone saw the salute, and Zhao Ta's eyes fell on Zhao Hu'er, only to see Zhao Hu'er's eyes roll: "Second pot, what good things for me?" ”

Zhao Ta smiled: "Why do you still talk like this, it's not a matter of losing teeth and leaking air, I'm afraid that my tongue is a little big, right?" ”

When Zhao Hu'er heard this, she immediately turned from joy to sadness, and finally her small mouth flattened, and two tears began to roll in her eyes.

Zhao Jinluo hurriedly coaxed: "Hu'er doesn't cry, second brother teases you, where is my Hu'er's tongue bigger, and it will be all right if you are two years old." ”

Zhao Hu'er looked at Zhao Jinluo and said in disbelief: "Fourth sister lied to me, can a big tongue become smaller?" ”

Zhao Jinluo said with a smile: "I can, how could I deceive the thirteenth sister, the second brother brought back good things this time, but you can pick it." ”

Zhao Hu'er stopped her tears, looked at Zhao Ta and said: "Second pot, Niangniang said that you have a lot of treasures, go to Niangniang this morning to ask for peace, Niangniang asked me to ask for two more, yes, yes...... In the future, she will give Hu'er a dowry. ”

Zhao Ta touched his chin when he heard this, how old is this, and he is going to start saving for a dowry? How good is the dowry? In the future, it is not cheap for others.

He smiled and said: "Hu'er is only a few years old and wants to give a dowry, why don't you give you a few more pieces from the second brother, and go to the mother's place to change the candy and eat?" ”

Zhao Hu'er immediately became happy when she heard this, and said happily: "It's best to be able to exchange sugar, and go back to find the mother to change it." ”

At this time, Zhao Gou said: "Second brother, can you have a strong bow and treasure soldiers?" ”

Zhao Ta glanced at him, thinking to himself where are those things, Li Zhu's Wufu Sword was good, but it was a pity that it was destroyed, but even if it wasn't destroyed, it couldn't be given to you.

He shook his head: "Thieves are making trouble, where are the treasures and strong bows, if it is ordinary, you will not be able to use it." ”

"That's right." Zhao Gou nodded hurriedly, and then looked at Zhao Mo: "Old Eleventh, the second brother has praised me for my martial arts, ordinary weapons will not take advantage of it, and you will not accept it?" ”

Zhao Mo was unconvinced, and said perfunctorily: "Self-serve the ninth brother, the ninth brother is strong in martial arts!" ”

Zhao Gou immediately puffed up his chest, Zhao Ta looked funny, and ordered: "Go and bring one of the red boxes in the library." ”

Not long after, two guards brought a large box containing the jewels and jade that Huaixi had brought back.

Originally, in addition to the one offered to Emperor Daojun, there were three boxes left, one was sent directly to the palace to Zheng Niangniang, and one was divided into more than half of these small ones, and he left a whole box at home.

The ones left behind are not sent to the broken jade cabinet, after all, after a trip to Huaixi, it is much more generous, and some things are in hand, but they can often be rewarded below.

Zhao Hu'er saw the box fall to the ground, so she ran forward and wanted to lift the lid, but the box was not made of ordinary wood, and she didn't have that much strength, so she didn't lift it after a few lifts, so she looked back.

Zhao Gou said: "I have to come to this matter!" ”

He went over and opened the lid of the box, and was suddenly shaken by the jewels inside, and said in a panic: "Second brother, so ...... So many babies? ”

Zhao Gou nodded, Zhao Gou belonged to the poor kind among the princes, his mother Wei was not favored, not even a concubine, and after giving birth to Zhao Gou, Emperor Daojun was almost never favored again, so Wei only had one child.

And Zhao Fujin and Zhao Mo and other sisters and brothers are not much better, including Zhao Yingluo, although her mother has the title of concubine, but she died early, although there were many rewards during her lifetime, but after her death, she broke off her grace in this regard, so don't look at it as the prince and emperor, but in fact, it is also tight.

In the palace, these princes and princesses whose mothers are not there are all under the care of Zheng Niangniang, but in fact, Zheng Niangniang can't take care of them, after all, the money in the palace has to come out of Emperor Daojun in the end.

Emperor Daojun has his own luxury, he can spend it however he wants, and he has not finished building countless silver coins in a Gen Yue, and the money in the inner treasury is not enough at all, so how can he still have the leisure to take care of these children.

Therefore, in addition to Zhao Jinluo and Zhao Hu'er, whether it is Zhao Fujin or Zhao Yingluo, Zhao Gou or Zhao Mo, they are all shy.

The harem of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, except for the queen, who was probably born in the Jiangmen, the other concubines, Mrs. Yiyuan, etc., are almost all from small families, and very few come to the proud family.

Like Qin Hui's wife Wang, she is the granddaughter of Wang Qi, the prime minister of the Shenzong Dynasty, and the side branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, the dowry alone is enough to have 200,000 yuan.

And this further determines that those princes and emperors whose mothers died early are really not good next to them except for eating and drinking, because the relatives on the mother's side can't count on it.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was rich, Taizu was "stumped by a penny of heroes" in Guadi when he was young, and he may have left a shadow in his heart since then, and even lived a very simple life after ascending to the pole.

The imperial palace of the Song Dynasty is the smallest in all dynasties, Taizu, Renzong, Zhezong, etc. are famous thrifty emperors, throughout the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to Emperor Daojun, in fact, there are not a few good luxury, as for Emperor Taizong, although he spends a lot of money, but most of them are used in wars.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty Palace is not more generous than those dynasties in later generations, the scale is small, and there are few good things, even if Emperor Daojun is extravagant, he expanded a Yanfu Palace and made a Genyue, but there are no treasures in Genyue, they are all stones obtained by exploiting the people.

The palace originally had a lot of expenses, and these shy princes and emperors could only survive until they went out to open a mansion or get married, and there would be a turnaround.

So right now, whether it is Zhao Gou or Zhao Mo, when they see a box of treasures, their eyes light up, and they are still a little panicked in their hearts.

Zhao Ta stared at Zhao Gou for a few moments, then looked at the others, and said with a smile: "It's rare to go out once, last time it was Longyou, but Longyou is barren, there is nothing worth bringing back, this time the bandits are still gained, it is a gift from the second brother to you, pick three pieces each, by the way, Hu'er picks five." ”

Zhao Hu'er immediately clapped her hands when she heard this, and was about to choose, Zhao Gou suddenly said: "Second brother, is three pieces too much, I want one is enough." ”

Zhao Ta looked at him and kept his eyes on the box, knowing that he was duplicitous, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiu'er is going out to open a mansion in less than two years, how can he not have something in his hand to strengthen the façade, the brothers are not as good as the emperor, and a dowry will be given in the palace at that time, but there are no such things in the brother's mansion, and I also left the imperial city empty-handed." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gou sneered and said, "Second brother, then I'm not welcome." ”

Zhao Ta said: "You're welcome, hurry up and pick, do you still want me to leave you at the house for dinner." ”

Several people laughed, and Zhao Ta said again: "It's best to keep this matter secret, don't let your father know, if you know it, you will accept it, and in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty, and you will be punished together with it." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Second brother, don't worry, we all understand this, even if my mother doesn't tell me." ”

Zhao Ta nodded, watching a few people choose, but it was Zhao Fujin who picked first, choosing a bracelet of mutton fat jade, a bead chain, and a hairpin with blue inlaid gemstones.

"Second brother, I've made a choice." Zhao Fujin stood aside, his aqua blue skirt swaying in the wind.

Zhao Ta looked at her hand and said with a smile: "Fujin has a good eye, the gem on the hairpin is a pearl of light, and the value is worth more than the other two." ”

Zhao Fujin smiled: "Second brother, I just recognized this light bead before I took it, but I didn't expect it to be seen through by the second brother." ”

Zhao Ta smiled: "That's good." ”

Zhao Fujin said: "The second brother is sent out like this, don't you want to keep some?" ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and said: "The daughter is scattered and comes back, give it to your brothers and sisters, what to talk about." ”

Zhao Fujin suddenly stared at him and said softly: "The second brother has not married the princess, but he should leave some for his future sister-in-law." ”

Zhao Ta was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed: "Fujin, your own family is not married yet, but you are worried about the second brother, but Mo Xuezongzheng Temple's tune, the second brother is most afraid of hearing this." ”

Zhao Fujin also smiled: "Second brother, it's Fujin who is too talkative." ”

Zhao Ta shook his head with a smile and looked at the others.

At this time, Zhao Jinluo, Zhao Gou, and Zhao Mo had already been selected, and only Zhao Huer and Zhao Yingluo were still there dazzling and couldn't be selected.

Where did the two children know whether it was good or bad, they were just looking for something shiny and eye-catching, but it turned out that a quarter of an hour or so had passed, and it was finished, but their eyes were still staring at the box, and they were a little reluctant.

Zhao Ta saw that they had made a good choice, and ordered the guards to pack a few pieces and hand them to the little eunuch, which was for Zhang Di, he hinted at Zhang Di last time he was in the palace, but now this Zhang Ban was beaten by Emperor Daojun and couldn't beat it, so he asked the little eunuch to smuggle it over.

instructed the little eunuch, and after seeing a few people leave, a report suddenly came from all around.

Zhao Ta listened, but it was the spies who were arranged outside Liangshan Shui Bo who received Dai Zong's secret letter, and rushed back to Tokyo non-stop, and was asking to see him outside at the moment.

He asked Zhou to take people to the study, and then took Dai Zong's secret letter, opened it, and couldn't help frowning.

It turned out that the Liangshan army and horses attacked Zengtou City, and Chao Gai, the king of Tota, was hit by an arrow from Shi Wengong and died of poison.

But then Dai Zong wrote in the letter that Shi Wengong's arrow he had secretly taken to see it, but he did not find that it was poisonous, so he suspected that Chao Gai actually died at the hands of Liangshan's own family.

And Dai Zong described all kinds of weirdness when he hit Zengtou City, Lin Chong divided half of the men and horses but did not go to help, and after Chao Gai came back from the arrow, there was no military doctor to see a doctor to treat him, but Lin Chong went to paste the gold sore medicine.

Chao Gai came back all the way back without incident, until Lin Chong applied the gold sore medicine and found out that it was a poisonous arrow.

And is this poison on the arrow or on the medicine? Dai Zong expressed his suspicions in the letter, and mentioned that Lin Chong had killed the big boss Wang Lun before.

And Chao Gai said when he was dying, "Whoever can avenge him can be the lord of Liangshan."

Obviously, Chao Gai also suspected that he was killed by his own family, and suspected Song Jiang and Lin Chong, so he left this last word, and did not want to pass on the position of the big leader of Liangshan to Song Jiang or Lin Chong.

Therefore, Dai Zong's thoughts were wrong, so he wrote his guesses and thoughts into the letter.

After reading the letter, Zhao Ta gently put it on the table, and then walked out of the door with his hands in his hands, looking due east, and fell into a deep thought.
