Records of the King of Xin'an County

Chapter 85 The Progress of the Xu Family

Although it was the New Year's Eve, the barbarian restaurants were still very lively. Many barbarians with high noses, deep eyes and beards were talking and laughing loudly, and even danced with those charming orchids when they were in the mood.Li Hui had never seen such a scene before, and couldn't help casting his gaze over it again.

Wang Zixian raised his eyes and saw that Cao Silang had arrived in a hurry with a food box in his hand, he smiled slightly: "I have bought the vegetarian dishes, try to see if it suits your taste? There is a famous vegetarian restaurant nearby, we will also try it some other day." You can try it."

He unhurriedly placed the dishes in the food box in front of Li Hui, and he had to serve him the dishes himself.Cao Silang, who was sitting squatting next to him, twitched his eyelids, and thought to himself: Why do you feel that your lord is becoming more and more gentle and considerate to the little county king?It doesn't look like a close friend, but more like a personal servant...

However, not only Li Hui is extremely calm, but Wang Zixian's behavior is still elegant - after all, the king of the small county has never had any life-and-death friends in the past and present, and all he has heard are legendary stories. And family members can entrust each other, let alone these trivial things?

As for Wang Langjun, he just wanted to be good to this person wholeheartedly, so he could do it to the extreme.There is only one person in this world who can make him so careful.Even Mr. Song, who is a gentleman, has a slightly lower status in his heart.After all, different timings of acquaintance will result in different fates, which cannot be forced.As for whether there is a deeper reason, he does not want to think about it for the time being, and he dare not think about it.

"It's very good." Li Hui tasted it a little bit, and said, "If Zixian doesn't mind, you can try it too? There are a few that are especially delicious." Nowadays, everyone generally shares food, and there is no habit of eating together.In other words, eating together seems to be against etiquette.But in the legends he has seen, among the knight-errants and common people he has witnessed, friends of life and death certainly don't care about such small details.Moreover, it seems to be more enjoyable to eat and drink together.

The prince was slightly startled, raised the corners of his mouth, and held up the chopsticks to recommend several vegetarian dishes to him: "It's really very good..."

Cao Silang shook his head secretly, and decided not to expose it—my husband went to that restaurant many times, and never showed any preference, so how could he suddenly boast about these few dishes?If the little county king didn't like it, he wouldn't say he likes it!Alas, he, who was in charge of the trilogy, couldn't tell which of these two was better to whom.As long as they are clear in their hearts, it is enough, and he simply pretends that he has never seen anything, and it is useless to think too much!

The two were enjoying delicious food, and not long after, they saw a slender young man ascending to the second floor.He seemed to be looking for an empty seat, but found that it was already full, and frowned.After looking around, he seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, walked over quickly, and saluted the prince: "Isn't this Wang Langjun? We met in the literary meeting last time, can you Remember a certain?"

"Sun Xiaolang, please sit down." Wang Zixian nodded slightly.

Li Hui looked at this well-mannered young man. Although he knew that it was Sun Jinniang's costume, he couldn't help but sigh that she was really well dressed.After my cousin puts on men's clothes, no matter how grand her gestures are, she will still show a bit of a little lady's coquettish attitude.However, this Sun Jinniang is completely different. Even those who are familiar with her may only think that she is a young gentleman who looks a little similar, and will never think of her as a little lady.

Since the excuse was that they met at the Wenhui, Wang Zixian casually said something about the Wenhui.Sun Jinniang answered fluently without any omissions.Then, they sat together in a logical manner.Although barbarian restaurants also share food, they use large food tables where everyone sits around. As long as the guests are willing, it doesn't matter if there are seven or eight people.For the convenience of conversation, even though the three of them sat closer together, they looked very ordinary.

Amidst the laughter and noise around, Sun Jinniang looked at Li Hui, and said softly: "I have seen the king. It is inconvenient to salute the king at this time, and please forgive me. The king dispatched a trilogy to investigate the king of Jibei County, brother Both the slave and the slave know that Alang called the slave over today, but why?" Her voice was almost drowned in the bustle, and she couldn't hear it clearly if she didn't listen carefully.

Li Hui shook his head and smiled: "Sun Xiaolang doesn't have to stick to etiquette. I just want to know how close Li Ge and Li Qianniang are. Maybe you didn't pay close attention to the relationship between the two of them before. Princess Anxing. However, we will have to inquire more about it in the future."

His words were full of meaning, and Sun Jinniang blinked: "I understand. Now I have made friends with a maid by her side. In time, I may be able to find out the exact news. No matter what she wants to do, she can't hide it from the people around her." A caring person. There are quite a few people in the Xu family who hate her, just a few reminders, and someone will take the initiative to keep an eye on her."

"This matter should not become a big deal." The prince offered, "act with discretion, so as not to reveal any clues. You can find out clues by looking around. But if you want to obtain evidence, you have to rely on external steps. Li Qianniang has always been a little cautious. You must be more cautious, then start with Mr. Li. He is just a spoiled clan and county king, and it is easy to show his whereabouts."

"It's free." Sun Jinniang agreed.

Wang Zixian asked again: "It's been a while since I asked you carefully how the Xu family's business is going. Is everything going well recently?"

"Brother's place went very well. The general affairs of the Xu family were originally handed over to Xu Tian's brother-in-law. He took care of it well and made a lot of profit from it. After brother gradually revealed it to Xu Tian, ​​he naturally felt dissatisfied. , so he had the idea of ​​robbing him. Because he failed in the provincial test repeatedly, the Xu family also wanted to let him loosen up, and simply gave him a few shops to operate. With the help of my elder brother, the profits from those shops are already The elders of the Xu family are very pleased that it has exceeded the income of his concubine brother's business."

"By relying on Xu Tian's trust, my elder brother sent him a few beauties from time to time. At first, he only sent prostitutes, but later he sent slaves and servants. Xu Tian was not close to the county magistrate of Yichuan in the first place, but these few beauties The beauties provoked them, and they became more and more estranged. However, the contributions of these beauties are also limited, in the final analysis, the Yichuan county magistrate looks down on him, and he is not willing to seek any benefits for him and the Xu family."

"This county magistrate would rather participate in various banquets and go out to play with the clan's children than stay in Xu's house. She leaves early and returns late all day long, and never settles down in the morning and evening. Living in separate houses, the Xu family didn't dare to say anything. But the elders of the Xu family felt sorry for Xu Tian, ​​the eldest son, so the mistress secretly arranged several houses for him, and the whole family kept the Yichuan County Lord secret. For two days, I tried my best to break the news to her, and she was furious. In her rage, she beat and scolded those housemates, and later sold them all out."

"..." Li Hui didn't know how to evaluate this kind of inner house method, "She is very pitiful outside, but she shows her true nature at home." In fact, he wanted to say that if she played alone like Princess Anxing and Cheng Qing It seems fairer.But she had an affair with Li Ge, and she didn't get close to Xu Tian, ​​but she still didn't allow Xu Tian to dote on Tong Fang, which was too domineering.

"So, there is already a rift between the Xu family and her, and these conflicts will only intensify in the future?" Wang Zixian narrowed his eyes, "Then it might as well make them strangers, or enemies." Li Qianniang and Li Ge are not the same It is convenient to expose, even if Xu Tian knows, it is impossible to make it public rashly.After all, the Xu family is small, how dare they offend the royal clan?However, as long as he has resentment in his heart, it is naturally impossible to refuse to find another way to get revenge.

"Both slave and elder brother know how to act. Don't worry, Ah Lang." Sun Jinniang said, "Before, I went to Princess Anxing's mansion once with the Xu family's family members, and I didn't find anything unusual for the time being. Princess Anxing is staying in Yichuan County The main thing is that they have a pleasant face, judging by their expressions, there seems to be some strange tacit understanding... By the way, at that time, they talked alone for a while, and they didn't know what they were discussing, and they all laughed happily."

Li Hui pondered for a moment: "It has been nearly half a year since Princess Anxing instructed Li Qianniang, and they should not be able to bear it anymore. I don't know what is going to happen this time, and I must not let my grandfather know. His old body has long been... I can't stand this kind of thing."

He once heard from his mother, Yan Shi, that Princess Anxing's favor was second only to Princess Qinghe's, that's why she developed her current temperament.After Duke Huai died of illness, the sage felt sorry for Concubine Yang De, and he almost couldn't do anything to Princess Anxing.If my grandfather knew that she had caused so many troubles and attacked her brother again and again, he would be very sad...

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness will not be negligent." The prince offered, "The only thing to worry about is that the lineage of the King of Chu has left the capital, and Princess Anxing is most likely to deal with the lineage of the King of Yue and King Pu. It's the same line." The position of the crown prince in the East Palace is very secure, and Princess Anxing should not want to attack the crown prince directly.Frame Yue Wang and Pu Wang, and secretly release news to harm the reputation of the prince, which is in line with her usual practice.

"I will definitely keep an eye on Grandpa." Li Hui sighed softly, "The recent 'auspiciousness' incident may be the work of Princess Anxing, so it must be investigated carefully. Moreover, this The matter should have affected the father of Yue Wang and the uncle of the crown prince. I just hope that it can arouse their vigilance and not teach Princess Anxing to succeed easily."

The two of them looked at each other, they really couldn't figure out why Princess Anxing would be so reluctant to offend all the brothers.Could it be that he became the Yang family?For the child born of Yang Liangdi in the Eastern Palace?Whoever sits on the throne, isn't she a princess?What is the benefit of being promoted from the eldest princess to the eldest princess?Wouldn't it be closer to sit on the throne with a younger brother than with a nephew?Does she care about her mother's family so much in her heart?Or is it Yang Defei's intention for her to act like this?

In any case, this matter must have something to do with the Yang family.The hearts of the Yang family are indeed getting bigger and bigger.

Li Hui's expression darkened, and he frowned and said, "Zixian, what's wrong with Yang Zhuang's head? I think it's time to put some people in the Yang family. I always feel that they... are very wrong." Of course, Uncle Guo is like this His relatives are indeed very beautiful and will bring enough benefits.But like a big family like the Hongnong Yang family, there is no shortage of prosperity and wealth now, and it would not be so hard to secretly manage it for such a scene.

He really didn't want to think about it again - he felt a little strange when he participated in Mr. Zhou Jiyan's literary meeting last time - could it be possible that the Hongnong Yang family really intends to follow the example of the past?Want to win the throne from your grandson again?They can't be so stupid?Do you think the prince's uncle will be so stupid?Or, he just underestimated the importance of "scenery" to these top aristocrats?Or maybe they just wanted to defeat the Jingzhao Du family who was also famous?

"Now that Zimu is here, I will place some people by his side." Wang Ziling said, "The Yang family is no better than the Xu family, so we must be careful at every step." Approaching the Yang family and inquiring about the Yang family's affairs are very difficult for them now. , is really too difficult.Similarly, it is also impossible to enter Princess Anxing's mansion.

For them, the top priority is still to expand their power and secretly support more useful people.In this way, they will not always fall into passiveness and be plotted repeatedly.
