In the end, Emperor Chongming, who was hiding behind the court meeting and listening to the quarrel, had already tilted the scales in his heart, and he issued an order to point out the opinion of the faction of the Hubu Shangshu, that is, the imperial court to purchase the equipment of the steam exhaust engine of the Changxi Laboratory.

Jiang Xing looked at the father-in-law who was passing the decree dictating Emperor Chongming's will, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, this kid was too arrogant and proud, and he would definitely make him look good when he seized the opportunity.

When the Ministry of Industry Shangshu heard the will, he still wanted to defend one or two, so the father-in-law smiled and said, "My lord, Your Majesty is lacking over there, please go back first, and it will not be too late to talk about it next time, what do you think?" ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away, too lazy to take care of this eunuch.

Hubu Shangshu snorted lightly, and stepped forward to talk to the angry father-in-law Si, "Father-in-law Si, who does Your Majesty plan to send to discuss the purchase?" ”

Only then did Father-in-law Si's expression soften, and he came over to look at Xiangbu Shangshu, "Your Majesty thinks that it is right to let the Hubu Shilang and the Ministry of Work go together to discuss cooperation with the Chang family." ”

Hubu Shangshu groaned slightly, this arrangement is actually the most appropriate, how things have to be evaluated by the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Household Management pays for it, but the old man of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is very difficult to do, he has to choose a good cooperation for his servants.

"Father-in-law, the candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of Works?"

"My lord, don't worry, we're staring at it."

With the words of the father-in-law, the head of the household was relieved, smiled with the father-in-law, and then left with satisfaction.

In the past, the most eye-catching person at the court meeting was Jiang Xing, the chief eunuch who held the seal of the seal, but now that the prince had taken away part of his light, he couldn't help but sneer at this godson.

Facing this godfather, Father-in-law Si immediately looked like he was small, but his words echoed in the hall, and many people heard it, so they didn't have ears to spread it to Emperor Chongming.

Jiang Xing has been this big eunuch for too long, and he has forgotten a little that he is just a dog by Emperor Chongming's side.

Princess Qianrong received the edict from the eunuch, and immediately got into the carriage and rushed to the palace, every time she entered the palace, she would be like a prisoner's enemy, after all, the king is like a tiger, even if it is a child.

After getting out of the carriage and walking on the palace road, she walked straight to the emperor's bedroom with a smile on her face.

The gauze tent inside was still the same, and she saluted respectfully after entering, "My son has seen my father." ”

Emperor Chongming didn't open his mouth to let his daughter get up, but opened his eyes and looked at the statue of Sanqing in front of him, and it took a long time before he spoke, "That'...... How are the kids? ”

The eldest princess, who had been on guard, suddenly trembled when she heard this, this was the first time her father asked about the child back then, what did she say?

It was precisely because she didn't know her father's intentions that she didn't dare to answer easily, the answer was scrolling back and forth in her mind, she thought about the result, but she knew that this was a must-answer, and she had to rule out not knowing the answer, it was estimated that her father had already asked Jinyiwei to find out everything.

After a long while, she whispered, "Very well. ”

Emperor Chongming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, his feelings for this eldest grandson were very complicated, and he did it on purpose to let him go, otherwise how could these people take people out of the imperial city.

After all, it is his own bloodline, he wants to keep him alive, and it is not bad among the people, but obviously this eldest grandson is unwilling, and gradually shows his minions in the court, so he can't really treat him as if he doesn't exist.

"Recently, I ...... I always dream of Changlin. ”

Changlin is the milk name of the abolished prince, and only the emperor and queen will call it, of course, as the eldest sister, she used to call it from time to time, but with the death of the abolished prince, this milk name is no longer mentioned.

The eldest princess didn't know how to continue, and she fell deep on the ground to hide her expression, but the shrugging of her shoulders still revealed her mood.

Emperor Chongming sighed a lot after seeing it, hating the slanderous minister who separated their father and son back then, otherwise he and Changlin would not have killed each other, and finally ended up like this.

The father and daughter were speechless for a long time, and finally he sighed and said, "You let that child enter Beijing and let me see him." ”

Hearing this, the eldest princess was already in tears when she raised her head again, "Yes, the retainer obeys the order." ”

Emperor Chongming was obviously not in good spirits, and waved his hand at his daughter, and the eldest princess immediately retreated willingly.

As soon as the sun shone outside, she felt that the shade on her body had faded, took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and walked on the way out of the palace with a complicated mood.

"Sister Huang."

Hearing the call of the third prince, the eldest princess sorted out her emotions and looked back at this half-brother with a smile.

The third prince, Zhao Xiang, stepped forward and carefully looked at the eldest princess's face, and naturally saw the dried tears, so he exclaimed, "Sister Huang, my father has embarrassed you?" ”

"Nope." The eldest princess was busy.

Zhao Xiang wanted to find out what Emperor Chongming had said to the eldest sister, but the eldest princess's tone was very tight, and no matter how much she inquired, it was useless, so she could only leave in a huff.

went a third prince Zhao Xiang, and then came a fourth prince Zhao Hong, who was also secretly inquiring about the news.

The eldest princess understood these people's intentions too well, so what she said when talking to them was ambiguous and let them guess.

It wasn't until she walked out of the palace that she left people with ulterior motives behind, she got into her carriage and cried in a low voice in the carriage.

Xingnanhou had already received the news, and entered the house with tears on her face, knowing that she must be in a low mood at this time, and persuaded and persuaded her with good words, which made the person in her arms stop her tears.

"Father wants to see Brother Jin."

Hearing this, Xingnanhou had a little excitement on his face, "This is a good thing." ”

After so many years of planning, Xie Jin can finally come to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, this step is very meaningful, at least having a name will be much stronger than not having a name.

The eldest princess didn't know that this was a good thing, but she couldn't stop her tears and wanted to drop them.

The wind in the capital can't blow in Yiyang City for the time being, and Chang Xi didn't let Chang Dadou and Li send New Year's silver during the New Year, which made the couple very dissatisfied, and even Chang Er'e couldn't help but mumble a few words to her husband Zhou Man.

Zhou Man had long been dissatisfied with his parents-in-law's behavior of taking his brother-in-law to his house, and thought that there would be a pen of silver to take, but he didn't know that the bamboo basket was empty, so he mobilized his father and mother to come over and point at his parents-in-law and scold.

Chang Dadou and the Li couple are thick-skinned, and they have their daughters waiting here, and they don't want to go back when they live comfortably, so no matter how their in-laws scold, the couple can't hear it.

But Chang Er'e, who was sandwiched in the middle, was miserable, the tofu workshop of the eldest sister's family was on the right track, but her vegetable business was still struggling to survive, and she had a waste brother to raise, so she was even more dissatisfied.

So he proposed to his father and mother to let Chang Kui follow him to collect vegetables, so he couldn't let this labor force go without it.

Chang Dadou and Li Shi together, the son followed his sister and brother-in-law, and in the future, he knew how to make a living in this profession, and he could stand up himself, so he had no objection to this proposal.

Chang Kui naturally had this idea and began to work with Zhou Man.

At this point, the Zhou family is not so disgusted with the Chang family and his wife who are here, and there is a lot of scolding.

But Chang Dadou and the Li family were still unhappy, and Chang Xi's indifferent approach made them feel deeply hurt, and that old face was stretched long every day.

Chang Er'e has to face such two old faces every day, this mood can be imagined, on the other hand, she feels that the little sister is chilling, and she refuses to pull her own family at all, so she said to her mother Li when she was cooking and choosing vegetables, "It is said that Xu Dalang has been dead for many days, mother, do you have to find a suitable person for San'e?" ”

When Li Shi heard this, he patted his thigh as if he woke up from a dream and said, "Why didn't I think of this?" ”

Chang Er'e said with a smile, "Our sisters, only San'e is not located now, no matter how powerful this woman is, she can't find a good master, and she will become a lonely ghost when she dies in the future......"

Li didn't have the heart to listen to the second daughter's chatter there, but thought about remarrying the youngest daughter, wouldn't it be able to earn a dowry? Since he couldn't scavenge money from his little daughter, he wanted to marry her off.

When she first married Xu Dalang, the Xu family spent ten taels of dowry, and now San'e is extraordinary, no matter what, it takes hundreds of taels of dowry, as soon as she thought of hundreds of taels of silver, she immediately jumped up excitedly and went to Chang Dadou, "Old man, old man, I have something to tell you......"

Chang Er'e saw her mother running to find her father with a red light on her face, and immediately smiled proudly, no matter if she could get the silver from her father's hand, but with the silver, her father and mother would always go home, and it would be bad to stay here, after all, if you have money in your hand, you are afraid of people's worries.

Chang Dadou frowned when he heard his wife's suggestion, "Xu Dalang has been dead for less than a year. ”

is so anxious to remarry his little daughter, for fear that she will be criticized.

"That dead girl doesn't have the existence of our father and mother in her eyes, and we are still looking for a marriage for her, which is worthy of her, no matter how you say it, Xu Dalang's waste has been dead for half a year, and at this time, no one can say that it is bad to give San'e Zhang Luo's marriage."

Li's words, Chang Dadou thought so, they are good for their little daughter, and they are not afraid of others muttering behind their backs, which parents don't want their children to be in pairs?

"That's it."

Chang Dadou and the Li family let out rumors that they wanted to marry their daughter, everyone in the village knew that Chang Xi was out, and there were many people who wanted to climb into this marriage, but who could get the dowry of hundreds of taels? So he could only watch from the sidelines.

In the end, there was a foot merchant from other places who heard about it, this woman is still a popular person in Yiyang City, Chang Niangzi, thinking that this woman can make money, so he found Chang Dadou and his wife, and gave a dowry of 200 taels to marry Chang San'e.

Chang Er'e listened with jealousy on her face, why could the little sister earn two hundred taels of dowry?

Sitting in the hall and suffocating, she went out to breathe, only to see the eldest sister who had arrived.

When Chang Da'e saw the second sister, she hurriedly pulled her aside to speak, "I heard that my father and mother recruited a son-in-law for the third sister?" ”

Chang Er'e wanted to vomit her bitterness for a long time, so she expressed all her dissatisfaction, but when she saw that the eldest sister's face had changed, she said, "Eldest sister, what's wrong with you?" Daddy and mother are not harming San'e, that person is willing to pay two hundred taels of silver, with this silver, San'e has a good life in this life, how can it be like us, if you can't marry a man, you have to be a peasant woman in the countryside for the rest of your life......"

"It's muddle." Chang Da'e objected, "No, I'm going to go in and persuade my father, which will push my little sister further." ”

"Oh, my eldest sister, you are a cat catching a mouse and fake mercy, and your father and mother will not harm San'e if you harm anyone." Chang Er'e grabbed her eldest sister and didn't allow her to go in to stir up the marriage.

Chang Da'e couldn't match Chang Er'e's strength, and was pulled aside by her.

The Chang Dadou couple inside had a very happy conversation with the foot trader from other places, and even the foot trader said that he would take his third daughter to the other place after marriage, and the couple had no opinion, and were busy boasting about the ability of their own girl, and they were afraid that the foot trader from other places would retreat.

This marriage was negotiated very smoothly, even if Chang Da'e objected, it would not help.

After returning home, Chang Da'e talked to her husband Luo Xiaoli about it, and she sighed all the time, and she found that her little sister had changed a lot, how could such a little sister be handled by her father?

"Why don't you go and report to your sister-in-law tomorrow?"

Chang Da'e has this intention, and this foot trader from other places doesn't know whether it's a good person or a bad person, and his father and mother are going to hurt San'e.

The next day, Chang Da'e set off to find Chang Xi.

The tea brick workshop officially started on the fourth day of the new year, and the production arrangements for the end of the year have already been full, but fortunately, after a fat year, the workers are in a very good state, and they are full of enthusiasm for the work.

Chang Xi was dealing with the spinning workshop when he heard the tiger girl come in to report that Chang Da'e was coming alone.

When Chang Xi heard this, she immediately got up and went to see Chang Da'e, she had a good impression of this eldest sister, and Chang Er'e was not there this time, so she wanted to talk to the other party even more.

"Big sister has been waiting for a long time."

When Chang Da'e heard Chang Xi's voice, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and said eagerly, "San'e, my father and mother told you about the marriage......

Chang Xi was not surprised by the operation of Chang Dadou and the Li couple, and decided to be a widow at the beginning, just to put an end to Chang Dadou and Li's operation, so she in turn held Chang Da'e's hand and pulled her to sit down, "Sister, don't worry, sit down, drink saliva, eat snacks and say slowly." ”

Chang Da'e told the ins and outs, "Dad and mother are confused, how can I marry you off if I catch someone casually?" If you are wronged and far away, won't you even have someone to ask for help? After a pause, he felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to talk about his father and mother like this, so he said, "San'e, don't blame your father and mother, they don't know much, and they also want you to find someone to live a happy life again, they don't have bad intentions." ”

Chang Dadou and Li have bad intentions, Chang Xi knows that this couple has a bad stomach, and they don't do good things, but they do all the bad things.

However, she didn't use these words to poke Chang Da'e's heart, but this eldest sister also came to report to her, and she would treat Chang Da'e well on this basis, "Eldest sister, you don't care about this matter, I know it in my heart." ”
