YM778.TV Chapter 413: in law
After a while, the old man pushed back the yamen matter and came back.
Xie Zhongbai and Xie Jibai were companions, so they set up a table in Xie Mingxi\'s yard, drinking and talking. Cui Yinghao talked about the geographical mountains and rivers of Xiliang and Beiqi, and Xie Yuanbai talked about the deployment of troops in Xiliang.
Xiao Xun just said the plan, because the matter was so important, Cui Yinghao not only warned Cui Tingzhan that he must not speak out, he and Xie Yuanbai did not mention a word.
But the people sitting on the table were not fools. Looking at the situation, they guessed that Xiao Xun might go to the battlefield in the future.
It\'s no secret that envoys from the Lou Kingdom are coming to Beijing. I heard that the envoys from Xiliang are coming to Beijing soon. The imperial court will use troops sooner or later. However, there are not many generals in the court who can fight. Although Xiao Xun is young, he can use troops. He is very experienced, and he belongs to the clan, but he is not the prince, so he is the best candidate to lead the army.
Only the old man is worried. If the grandson-in-law leads the army, there will be no mistakes in food and grass, but it costs money. It seems that the "convenience of business" needs to be mentioned.
However, the emperor can\'t wait to hand over all the affairs of the government to Lu Yan. He has handed over his papers for several days, but there has been no movement until now.
After the meal, Xie Yuanbai sent Cui\'s father and son away, and the old man stayed and asked Xiao Xun to drink tea with him, so he told him the idea Xie Zhiwei gave him, "I thought about it, the things along the coast are easy to talk about, we can follow the example from before The court established a city ship department in Quanzhou, Jiaozhou, Mingzhou and Guangzhou to increase the revenue of the treasury. However, in the northwest, if there are problems in the border defense due to the opening of trade, the Xie family will be to blame even if the family is full of robberies. Is there any matter for the county prince? good idea?"
When the old man talked about this, Xiao Xun\'s eyes lit up. Hearing the old man\'s question, he knew that Xie Tiao was on alert. He smiled, not intending to hide it, and said, "Grandfather, to tell you the truth, this Things that others can’t do, but I can do it. Whether it’s Beiqi or Xiliang, there are two things they insist on buying from us, one is salt, the other is tea, and besides that, there is also cloth. And we What can we get from Xiliang and Beiqi? Horses, and some other rare commodities.”
Xiao Xun got up and bowed to the old man, "Grandfather, I was worried about not having enough money to raise soldiers, but I didn\'t expect you to give me a way to make money. I just happened to be going to Xiliang in May. This time, I\'ll go there myself."
This kid is a bit too courageous, but I have to say that often only those who dare to think and do will be successful.
The two were talking, when the person in front of the old man came to report that Miss Xue had come, she was in Fuyun Courtyard, and wanted to see the old man.
The old man was not in the mood to see Miss Xue, and said displeasedly, "What is she here for? Since she is here, let her eldest aunt treat her well. She is a girl, what do you do with me?"
"Miss Xue said that the old man should be the master."
"What can I do? If she has something to do, her eldest aunt can\'t be the master. Isn\'t there a second aunt? Let the two aunts discuss it. It\'s getting late, and I\'m going to the Yamen."
The Xie family has never had any gentlemen from the outer court intervene in the affairs of the inner court. Naturally, the old man would not break the rules of the Xie family for the sake of a granddaughter.
When Xue Wanqing came to Xie\'s house, it happened that Yuan Shi sent away the Cui family members. Before that, Xue Wanqing didn\'t send any post or message. When she suddenly met Xue Wanqing at Dongjiao Gate, Yuan Shi was very surprised.
Xue Wanqing got down from the carriage gracefully, glanced at Xie Zhiwei, ignored her, and came over to salute Yuan Shi, "Auntie, I have something to tell you."
Yuan Shi smiled, "Is there anything you need to tell me? I didn\'t even know you were here today. What\'s the matter?"
Mrs. Yuan blocked the door, not intending to let Xue Wanqing in. Xue Wanqing didn\'t see it, but felt that Mrs. Yuan was indeed a businessman. ? When is it scheduled?"
Mrs. Yuan had no choice, she was a relative and a junior, she couldn\'t drive Xue Wanqing out, so she had to follow in the door, she followed behind Xue Wanqing, it seemed that Xue Wanqing was the owner of this family and came to visit The person is Yuan Shi.
Xie Zhiwei was a few steps behind, she looked at Xue Wanqing\'s back thoughtfully.
Xie Zhiwei already knew about the news of Concubine Wan\'s death in the palace. I heard that the palace didn\'t even carry out funerals, and the corpse was wrapped in a roll of mat and thrown out when it stinks in the side hall. It is claimed that Concubine Wan was inspired by the Bodhisattva and became a monk in Famen Temple to pray for the royal family.
Concubine Wan is Xue Wanqing\'s attempt to build a bridge leading to the imperial palace, or to the emperor\'s side. Now that the bridge has collapsed, Xue Wanqing has no ladder for promotion. Does she come to Xie\'s house because she is eyeing the emperor again? Xie family yet?
When Xue Wanqing sat down in the Fuyun Courtyard, the maid served her a cup of tea, and Xie Zhiwei came in. She walked up to Yuan Shi and sat down, who was hugged by Yuan Shi, "Are you tired? Do you want to go back to the courtyard?" to take a break here?"
Yuan was afraid that Xie Zhiwei would respond to Xue Wanqing, and didn\'t want her to stay by her side. Xie Zhiwei shook his head, "I\'m fine, mother don\'t need to worry about me."
Yuan Shi asked Xue Wanqing, "Miss Xue, you haven\'t said what\'s going on at home?"
Xue Wanqing picked up the teacup and took a sip before putting it down, "Auntie, I had several conflicts with my eldest cousin, and I know she doesn\'t like me. This is a conflict between us juniors, and the elders should treat it fairly and justly." , I came to Xie’s house, even if I didn’t do anything, I think I came, this is my grandfather’s house after all, unless my grandfather says to sever ties with me, I have a position to come, don’t I?”
"This child, I just care about it, ask a few questions, so far away? The old man has always loved the younger generation. Miss Xue has lived at home for five years, don\'t you know?"
"That\'s good!" Xue Wanqing said, "My fourth uncle is getting married. Until now, the Xie family has not reported to the Xue family. Could it be that the Xie family has no plan to recognize the Xue family\'s in-laws?"
Yuan muttered for a long time, then smiled mischievously, "Isn\'t it still early? Several relatives have never mentioned it, even if it is the Cui family, if it weren\'t for the brothers and sisters-in-law of the Cui family who came to visit us today, we would not be able to remember to say anything. We are going to tell our relatives together when the day comes."
Xue Wanqing sneered, "Both the Xue family and the Xie family live in the capital, and now, they are probably the last to know about it. Also, about the opening of the ancestral hall last time, all the Xie family\'s in-laws arrived, and they did not tell the Xue family Say, wait until my mother\'s name is recorded from the old lady\'s name to the old aunt Xu\'s name, and then send someone to inform the Xue family."
The second update!
