Records of the King of Xin'an County

Two or three days later, the five cousins ​​who stayed in Beijing sent Li Jue away together.Looking at the back of his light fur and galloping away, Li Hui suddenly felt a little uneasy.There were only dozens of bodyguards and trilogy escorting Li Jue, who had traveled thousands of miles and did not know whether they would be able to return to Jingzhou safely.After thinking for a while, he still summoned the Wang family's trilogy, and ordered Cao Silang to take some people to guard secretly, and return to Beijing to report in time if there is any abnormality.

Although the recent turmoil in Beijing is very likely, and the parts he controls may not be completely sufficient, but if Li Jue's safety is ignored because of this, he will never easily forgive his negligence.Moreover, if the speed of the journey is fast enough, it will only take half a month to go back and forth.The King of Jiangxia County must choose the most suitable time, and may not be in a hurry to launch an attack immediately.

Because Li Xin was busy with work, he went back to Miyagi first.Princess Changning was worried about the situation in the palace, and urged Yan Zhaiche to return to Daming Palace quickly, and County Lord Xin'an was always with her.On the contrary, Princess Yong'an was a little bored because she stayed in the palace for these days, and she missed the outside of the palace, closely following her cousin, her eyes sparkling.

Li Huisui took her to visit Mr. Song, and asked about He Cheng's preparation for the exam by the way-the Shengzhou rebellion did not affect the government, and the provincial exam will be held as scheduled in a few days.Originally, the wedding date of He Cheng and Wang Luoniang was set in the first ten days of April after the announcement of the list, which meant double happiness.It's just that the anti-insurgency war will last for some time, and as the eldest brother and the only male in the royal family, Wang Zixian can't miss his sister's wedding, so the wedding has to be postponed temporarily.

It is said that after hearing the news of the postponement of the wedding, He Cheng was relieved and became more focused when preparing for the provincial exam.Wang Luoniang stayed at home to prepare her dowry, and Wang Xiangniang assisted.Many complicated things are not difficult for them, even if Wang Zixian decides to add twelve dowries on the spur of the moment, they only need to make a dowry list.Taking care of the middle class does not prevent them from appearing in the secret room with their elder brother at any time, having banquets and gatherings with close friends in the boudoir, helping Princess Changning to inquire about news, and so on.

"Some time ago, he was restless and often thought wildly. He was afraid that he would fail the provincial examination and be scolded by his elder brother, and he would not even be able to marry a wife." Mr. Song took a sip of the shochu specially sent by Li Hui, smiling broadly, " Good wine!!" After appreciating it for a while, Fang said again: "Now I have barely regained my composure, and the Mingjing test is not too difficult, so I will definitely pass it."

"It's so good. If he finishes the provincial exam, he can spare time to help." Li Hui said.Even if He Cheng passed the provincial examination, he was just a humble student from other places.Even if he is Mr. Song's disciple and Wang Zixian's junior, he is not too conspicuous.Many things are done by him, and it is always better than his clan and county king.After all, Sun Rong and Sun Jinniang's brothers and sisters are not in Chang'an, and the dissemination and reporting of various news requires someone to take care of them.

"Although A Tao and Shiwu Lang are young, they should have more experience." Mr. Song said, "You might as well leave some things to them. Even if they make mistakes occasionally, it doesn't hurt. After a few more years, They can become your right-hand men, probably more useful than others."

"Mr. is right." Li Hui was stunned, and smiled slightly, "It's because I'm a little out of shape." Yang Atao and Yan Shiwulang were not very old, and he treated them as children, so he couldn't bear to send them around at will.But from the perspective of these two children, if there is no opportunity to practice, how can they be independent as soon as possible?Yang Atao, in particular, has a simple, straightforward, sensitive and cautious nature, and needs to see more people and things of all kinds in order to grow rapidly.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Song, Li Hui came to the courtyard and saw Yan Shiwulang politely playing with Princess Yong'an, but the little guy seemed a little dull, so he couldn't help laughing.Hearing that he was about to leave, Princess Yong'an immediately regained her vitality and showed a sweet smile.Yan Shiwulang seemed a little disappointed, but he still sent the brother and sister out politely and thoughtfully.

After arriving in Deyan Zhai's car, Princess Yong'an still did not forget to act like a baby to her cousin: "Yan Shiwulang is very boring, why not be stubborn with A Tao. Brother, are you going back home? If not, let's go Prince Pu's Mansion, how about bringing Shouniang over here? I haven't seen Shouniang for two or three days, but I miss her."

Li Hui naturally couldn't bear to refuse her, nodded and said: "I will bring you all to the palace for two days, and I will accompany Shimu and Sister Du into the palace every day, and Ah Tao can play with you when I have time, how about it? "Ms. Yan has been living in the Prince's Mansion of Xin'an County recently, and continues to firmly suppress Li Xin's dissatisfaction. It is also more convenient to visit Empress Du in Daming Palace.

"It's not Sister Du, it's Sister-in-law." Princess Yong'an corrected him earnestly, "Auntie said, you can't call your sister, you can only call your sister-in-law. My sister called me wrong before, and I laughed when I saw her and my sister-in-law." It was very fun, so I didn't point out their mistakes. However, I can't make Shou Niang wrong."

Li Hui couldn't help laughing, and after rubbing her little head, he sighed a little.After the new year, the little guy was already eight years old, and he became a big girl in a blink of an eye.However, under everyone's doting, she is not as mature and sensible as her elder sister, Princess Changning, but retains a charming and innocent side.However, just like Yang Shen and Yan Shiwulang, blindly protecting and pampering is not the proper way of parenting.Especially the children in the palace should be taught more about the dark side.It's time for him to mention this matter with Yue Niang.

So, the two brothers and sisters went to Prince Pu's Mansion to meet Li Tai and the Zhou family, who had recently reacted a little violently and was inconvenient to travel.Afterwards, they picked up Shouniang and returned to the Prince's Mansion of Xin'an County together.When Yang Shen heard that the master was coming back, he came to greet him immediately, and in a blink of an eye, he received the task of playing with the two young ladies.After thinking for a moment, he took them to the back garden to enjoy the flowers and write and paint on the white snow.

Li Hui felt that he took good care of his cousin and niece, so he went back to the study to deal with various affairs.After the parts reported the important matters, he pondered for a moment, and once again dispatched hundreds of people to keep a close eye on the movement of the Prince's Mansion in Jiangxia County.Be sure to investigate the recent movements of everyone who enters and exits the palace.

At this time, Zhang Fu's mother sent a maidservant to report: "If Your Majesty is free, you might as well go to see the guests of the Princess of the County. The Princess of the County just returned from the palace in the afternoon, and Lady Liu of the Du family brought a few The daughter-in-law came to visit and has not left yet. Mother Fu thinks that as a junior, the king should also go to see them."

Only then did Li Hui vaguely remember that he and Du Jialan had been married for a whole month.According to the etiquette and customs of Chang'an, the bride can return to her mother's house to live in the opposite month.However, Du Jialan is the princess of Xin'an County after all, so naturally she can't go back to her mother's house at will, so Liu Shifang came to visit her in person.As a considerate new son-in-law, the king of Xin'an County actually doesn't mind the princess returning to her mother's house to live in the opposite month.It's just that the current situation is unstable recently, and it's unavoidable for the Du family to live in the suburbs of Beijing. It's unsafe...

Speaking of which, maybe he should let the Du family live in the capital temporarily, just in case?Undoubtedly, Du Jialan is also worried about the safety of his family, and hopes that he can take the initiative to raise this matter.Although they are just a couple in name, they are more or less friends, and they should do their best to consider and plan for her.

Thinking of this, Li Hui figured out what kind of mansions there are in Beijing.There are quite a few other courtyards under his name, and they all have some uses, but it's not difficult to empty one, and it doesn't matter if you donate it to the Du family at will.However, Du Jialan would definitely not be willing, so he just took it as an excuse for the time being.When the time is right, hand over the deed to her for disposal.

Just when he stepped into the courtyard where Du Jialan lived, because the courtyard was extremely quiet, he heard a woman laughing from a distance: "Little sister, how could I harm you? We also took this medicine, you see Look, don't we look better? It's not an exaggeration to say that our faces are radiant. Even the A family seems to be ten years younger."

"Yes, many ladies are using this kind of tonic nowadays. It is said..." Another woman continued, lowering her voice, "It is also used for conditioning the body and helping pregnancy. The nineteenth lady of the east house of the Wei family I have been married for ten years and haven't conceived. Recently, I got pregnant by taking this kind of tonic. Although my sister-in-law is newly married, if she can conceive in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be a good thing to be happy? Your Majesty and you are both the same age. It's getting a bit older, Her Royal Highness Princess Pu must be looking forward to her grandson."

Unexpectedly, they were talking about this kind of thing, Li Hui couldn't help but paused and coughed lightly.Du Jialan's maid immediately went out to greet her, and whispered to everyone in the Du family inside: "The king is here."

This is the first time Li Hui stepped into the residence of his nominal princess.Naturally, he wasn't curious about a lady's boudoir, and he didn't look too much at it.And in the eyes of Liu and the others, he is very familiar with this place, so his attitude is very calm and at ease.Looking at the new son-in-law with a high status, and then at the frowning daughter, Liu couldn't help feeling more relieved.

"How are the mother-in-law and the two sister-in-laws doing? How are the uncles, nephews and nieces?" Li Hui pretended that he didn't hear what he just said, and greeted them with a smile.When Liu and the two daughters-in-law saw him coming, it was naturally inconvenient to say anything more, so they just followed his words cautiously and talked about their own affairs.

After a while, Li Hui naturally asked them to move temporarily: "In a few days, the vacancies for the two uncles will be settled. If you have been living in the suburbs, it will inevitably be inconvenient to go to and from the office. No If we move back to Chang'an first, it will be much cheaper for mother-in-law and sister-in-law to have dinners."

Liu's face was overjoyed: "The vacancy has been confirmed? Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help." Since His Royal Highness the county king mentioned it on purpose, he probably wouldn't seek too low an official position for the two uncles.In any case, the face of his wife's family is also his face, so he should be worried.In this way, the daughter should have made a lot of effort secretly.They didn't know that they came to ask for official positions, but indeed they got the son-in-law to look at them differently.

"This is a great joy." The Du family's daughter-in-law clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Let's clean up the old house in Beijing."

"... But the old house has been abandoned for three or four years, if it is not easy to repair it..." The second daughter-in-law of the Du family took advantage of the situation to show a bit of distress, "I don't know if I can make it in time."

"Just now my sister-in-law mentioned that a new big hot spring village has been bought at home?" Du Jialan said indifferently, "Why don't you sell that village, and you can get two or three hundred guan, and you can buy a nice three-entry small house in Beijing. Our family's population is not large, and we can live in three places."

"The children in the family like that hot spring village very much, and it's not easy to buy it at a discount. Wouldn't it be better to use it as a family property in the future? It's not worth selling it now." The Du family's second daughter-in-law hurriedly said , turned his head and quietly winked at Liu Shi and Du's parents-in-law.

"Since the old house needs to be repaired, why not live in another courtyard under my name for the time being." Li Hui felt that their attitudes were different, but they were still very generous-there is nothing like bringing a group of very likely It is safer to keep the troubled relatives under the nose.

Liu's face blushed immediately, and she wanted to refuse, but her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law had already agreed.And Du Jialan did not resolutely object this time, but said: "Since the king is so kind, then Aniang and brother and sister-in-law should move here as soon as possible. Taking advantage of the many banquets recently, you can also walk around a little bit, continuing the past. Friendship."

Not long after, Liu's group left happily.The king of Xin'an and the princess sent them out together, giving the Liu family enough face as an elder.Naturally, the Liu family could not have expected that when their carriage drove out of the Prince's Mansion, Princess Xin'an sighed softly, and said to the Prince of Xin'an next to her, "Do I look so stupid? Would you listen to your natal family? Being used by others without knowing it?"

The king of Xin'an County smiled and said nothing: The princess is naturally not a fool, but if some caring people think about it, everyone has weaknesses.Target these weaknesses to do what they like, and over time, there will be no one who will not be exploited.
