Cui Ji called Xie Zhiyun to let her know about this in advance and also know the plans of the house.

This will make it much easier to do things in the future.

"This edict from the Ziji Palace is actually to test us, but I don't want to immediately have a stalemate with the Wei family, this King of Dingxi can only bring five hundred soldiers with him, The mansion, the Ziji Palace did not say that it would be given to the Xiu Wangfu, and it can only temporarily use an old royal mansion in the east of the city as a temporary mansion."

In this way, there was no conflict with Yezhou, and the king of Dingxi was successfully sent.

After all, Yezhou still belonged to North Vietnam on the surface, and Su Guogong was a vassal of North Vietnam and a courtier of the Sima family, and they could not disobey the holy decree.

If it is disobedience, is it not rebellion?

Xie Zhiyun listened quietly, and then slowly spoke: "What does my father mean, should he come and take a look?" ”

Cui Ji nodded approvingly.

Because of Wei Ningan's unpleasantness, it was also dispelled by Xie Zhiyun's intelligence at the moment, no matter what, there are still smart people in the family, isn't it?

Cui Ji said: "That's right, five hundred elite soldiers can't turn over tricks, but once Sima Ao enters Yezhou, we won't do anything to him, but will treat him as a guest." ”

"After all, if he dies in Yezhou, everything is uncertain," Cui Ji smiled, "He firmly followed in Sima Ling's footsteps back then, not to become an outcast." ”

Xie Zhiyun said: "I know. ”

There is no need to hesitate, Xie Zhiyun said: "I will let the lady in charge take good care of the subordinates, and if it is not necessary, I will not leave the mansion, even if I go out to do business, I must have more than two people to make a trip, and I can't gossip with others, and I won't talk about the king of Dingxi." ”

"Mother, I will go to Zhuangzi in a few days to see how the vegetables and vegetables in Zhuangzi are cultivated, and in the future, all the food and consumption at home will go from my own Zhuangzi, and I will no longer buy outside."

Cui Ji nodded: "Okay, that's it." ”

In fact, for the entire Suguo Mansion, and even for the people of the eight states under the rule of the Suguo Prince, this move of the Sima clan is tantamount to a clear provocation. They are on the top, and it seems that the past two years have been given to Wei Cang and the people, telling them that those are just the mercy of the imperial court, and when the imperial court is stable, you will still belong to Beiyue, belong to the Sima clan, and pay layer after layer of taxes to the imperial court.

North Vietnam had to raise so many troops, so many soldiers, so many magnates and royalty, that their taxes were almost double or more than those of the eight states.

Wei Cang has fought all his life, and many things are clear, the geometry of military food, the geometry of military uniforms, the geometry of military weapons, and every errand Wei Cang has personally passed by.

Because of Wei Cang's character and reputation, half of the military funds were supported by the various families in the eight states, so they reduced their taxes but paid more military funds.

The Langhuan family headed by the Xie family was the first to stand up and pay military funds, because the Xie family had a good start, so the other families did not dare to be silent anymore.

The most owned by the family is land, and Wei Cang is not greedy, so he only lets them provide food, which solves the problem of most of the military food.

In this way, although they paid more, they won a better reputation.

Wei Cang's purpose is very simple, that is, everyone in these eight states can live a good life.

There was not so much cumbersome government under their rule, there was no royal family with endless pleasures, only diligent officials, only people who worked hard and wanted to live in peace.

In this case, the people paid less taxes than the people of North Vietnam.

Naturally, the people were reluctant to pay another layer of taxes to the king of Dingxi.

A king of Dingxi, an unimportant death that no one feels sorry for, but the prince that some people are looking forward to can break the peace that Yezhou has worked hard to come by overnight.

Xie Zhiyun said: "Mother, do you think Sima Ao will be willing?" ”

Cui Ji was stunned, and then smiled: "I have to wait until I see him." ”

"Didn't he come to Yezhou next month?"

Cui Ji nodded: "I will only come to Yezhou next month, but the mansion has to be cleaned up in advance, the old mansion has been abandoned for many years, and I can only barely live in it." ”

"Today, along with the edict, there is also the Dingxi Palace...... The invitation was sent by the housekeeper himself. ”

"It is said that the Dingxi Mansion will hold a warm house banquet next month, and the Suguo Mansion will be invited to go with the family, and it will be warmly welcomed."

Xie Zhiyun couldn't help but laugh too.

"It seems that he doesn't want to be this outcast."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and there was a knocking sound outside, and someone knocked on the door outside.

They were talking about business behind closed doors in the study, and the maids naturally didn't dare to disturb them, so only one person would come to make trouble.

Anyway, the matter had already been said to be more or less the same, so Cui Ji sighed helplessly and said, "Come in." ”

The door creaked open, Wei Ningan poked his head in, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Xie Zhiyun with his eyes.

Xie Zhiyun looked at her funny, and saw her little face that was red from crying wrinkled suddenly.

"Why is the eldest sister-in-law here?" Wei Ningan muttered and reluctantly entered the study.

Cui Ji said lightly: "Give your eldest sister-in-law a gift, there are no rules." ”

Wei Ningan was still able to barely have some rules in front of Cui Ji, so she saluted Xie Zhiyun very stiffly and said, "Good morning, sister-in-law." ”

Xie Zhiyun also smiled: "My sister is fine." ”

So, the study was quiet, and the mother and daughter were silent.

Wei Ningan originally wanted to be coquettish with her mother, but Xie Zhiyun was present, and she didn't want her to see the joke, so she stood by the side with her neck straight and silent.

Xie Zhiyun also felt that things were almost done, so he wanted to get up: "Mother, I'll go back first." ”

Cui Ji said, "Wait a minute." ”

She patted Xie Zhiyun's hand and looked at Wei Ningan with blazing eyes.

Xie Zhiyun had never seen her angry with her peers, but now Cui Ji really sank his face, and the momentum on his body changed little by little.

"Ning An, ask your eldest sister-in-law, at what age did you learn the abacus? And you, not yet. ”

Wei Ningan's little face turned white all of a sudden, she could splash and roll in front of her mother, she could cry and be coquettish, but she couldn't be by Cui Ji in front of her sisters-in-law.

This is extremely insulting to her.

Wei Ningan bit his lip tightly, tears swirled in his big bulging eyes, but he couldn't hold back.

"You ask your eldest sister-in-law, at what age did you learn the four books?"

Abacus is five years old, and four books are read through ten years old. Xie Zhiyun replied in his heart and did not speak.

"You still can't even read the three-character scripture, and you think you're very glorious?"

"You hate your sisters-in-law, do you know that your second sister-in-law can lead the army to fight now, your third sister-in-law can directly open a chamber of commerce, and your eldest sister-in-law can manage a family as big as ours."

"From home to Zhuangzi, and even to the camp in the western suburbs, your sister-in-law can take care of it."

"What about you, what will you? Do you only cry? ”
