Ye Xianggao took two steps forward holding the chiming bell, pulled the corners of his lips and said, "This was given by Matteo Ricci who you just mentioned when I was in Nanjing two years ago. ”

"Gift...... Given away for nothing? Hearing the point of his words, Jiang Shu was even more surprised than learning that he had such a thing.

In other words, the one in his hand was exchanged for a thousand taels of gold.

Such a valuable thing, just say send it away?

Ye Xianggao couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw her reaction, put the chiming bell on the desk beside him, nodded lightly and said: "When he first came to Daming more than ten years ago, his father helped him a lot, and in order to repay the kindness, when he came for the second time in two years, he gave this rare thing to his father." ”

"Oh, so that's the case," Jiang Shu's eyes moved slightly, puzzled, "Then why did Dad hide it in the cabinet and not put it out?" ”

"This ......" Ye Xianggao groaned slightly, stared at her and said, "Dad originally wanted to give it to you, but I was worried that the other girls would say that Dad was biased after they found out, so I quietly put it away." I thought that when you got married, I would put it in the dowry for you, but I didn't expect King Fu to give you the same thing. Since he has this heart, you can keep it well, and just take this from your father and send it to the Queen Mother. ”

"How can this be," Jiang Shu frowned, and raised the chiming bell in his hand to him again, "If you want to send it, you can also send this one in Shu'er's hand." He gave this thing to Shu'er, and he didn't know what his intentions were, how could it compare to his father's intentions for Shu'er. ”

"King Fu's intentions, you don't have to doubt it," Ye Xianggao slowly waved his hand at her and said, "Dad went to Hunan for disaster relief this time, if he hadn't poured out all the grain stored in the granary of King Fu's Mansion in Luoyang to help, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to come back until now." How can a person like him, who has a mind that doesn't care about personal gains and losses, and only thinks about the overall situation, have any intentions for your little woman. It is also a blessing for you to have the privilege of giving it to him. ”

"Since my father has such a high opinion of him, why do you still support the prince wholeheartedly and try to let him go to Luoyang to become a vassal in every possible way?" Although Jiang Shu did not agree with what he said, it was inconvenient to refute it, and he asked with some puzzlement when he thought of the conversation he had heard outside the cabinet chamber this afternoon.

"'There is a grandson, there is no grandson', this is the ancestral rule of the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be violated." Ye Xianggao's face was slightly serious, "Although the prince's talent is slightly inferior to that of King Fu, he is also outstanding among young people of the same age, and he is enough to bear the heavy responsibility of the Ming Dynasty." King Fu stayed in Beijing for one more day, and the ministers would keep speculating whether the emperor had the intention of changing the prince, and his position was uncertain, and it was difficult for his mind to settle down, so it was easy to cause partisan disputes and cause internal and external troubles. ”

"Is it just because of this that Dad went to Luoyang?" Jiang Shu hesitated for a moment and tried to explore the tunnel.

A few days ago, on the way out of the city to Shijingshan with Lang Mo, outside the high wall north of the Xidan archway on Xuanwumenli Street, after listening to the quarrel of the officials of the six ministries, Lang Mo said that many officials in the DPRK and China supported the prince not for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but for the sake of fame behind him.

I don't know if my nominal father also values this.

Ye Xianggao didn't know the guess in her heart, lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, his eyes stared at her gently: "Actually, Dad is also a little selfish, Dad just wants my four girls to live a simple and happy life in the future, and not get involved in harem disputes." ”
