Chapter 196 Concerned

The fifth prince suddenly stared at Guan Xiucai. Guan Xiucai laughed a few times, blinked his little eyes and continued, "The officials love the prince very much and let the prince take the general as a prison. There must be a reason." In a word, the blue veins on the forehead of the fifth prince jumped several times. Since he saw the fifth prince for the first time last year, Guan Xiucai firmly believed that the reason why the official family specifically proposed to marry Li Tian was that the official family knew that Li Tian was a good woman who was superior to ordinary people. The reason why he pointed to the fifth prince was because he was different from the fifth prince. Aizhong, these two five princes did not agree at all. If it hadn't been for Guan Xiucai's views other than this matter, almost all the views of the five princes would have been the same as those of the five princes would have kicked him out of the house.

"Well, let's not talk about this. Let's start with the familiarity of Jinghu in the south of the Yangtze River last year," Guan Xiucai saw that the fifth prince was annoyed again and hurriedly changed his words: "Your Majesty, listen to me first. I thought of this for three reasons. First, last year, Jiangnan was very familiar, but the winter moon snow disaster on Jingdong Road transferred grain from the Jingji grain warehouse, but did not If there is a nearby transfer of surplus grain from all roads in the south of the Yangtze River, I can conclude that this grain must be transported into the grain depots of Hebei. This prince might as well let someone check it.

The fifth prince's face has not changed, but his eyes are much more solemn. This Guan Xiucai really has some insight. In the last year, all the abundant grain in Jiangnan was indeed transferred to the grain warehouse in the north. Guan Xiucai did not pay attention to the fifth prince's expression. He only narrowed his small eyes and raised his fingers and said attentively: "Second, the northern armies have been guarding every three years. This year is the right time to transfer the defense. It is simply appropriate to take advantage of the deployment of troops. The north will not only increase troops, but also must be left with elite soldiers and strong generals. Thirdly, I heard that Wangdan of the Bahrain Department of the Northern Court subjugated the Dol border forces last year. There are already 11 of the 17 major tribes in the Northern Court under his command, saying that they have been called King Gushi Khan, the official family will not allow him to grow any longer. Besides, Guan Xiucai looked at the fifth prince cautiously and paused and then lowered his voice: "If the officials have gone to the Spring and Autumn Period, if there is no more troops this year, if there is any change next year, even if it is smooth, the new emperor will obey filial piety and close the court inside and outside, and there will be another year or two. Dan must unify the North Court. At that time, the court would send troops to fight again. Compared with today, it will get half the result.

"I'll ask someone to send some files to my husband later," the fifth prince was slightly moved and hesitated a little, and then said, "Tomor I'm going to be the inspector. I'll have lunch with my eldest brother at noon. Let's go together."

"It's okay to be a prisoner. The prince and the uncle have dinner together, so I don't have to go." Guan Xiu knew that he had made the right decision. Looking at the fifth prince, his little eyes blinked a few times and said, "I know what the prince means. Thank you for your love, but I look at my virtue and according to the words of the Ma shopkeeper, no matter what clothes you wear, if you poke it there, it is an old teapot with a hook." The fifth prince laughed and coughed and said, "What is this?! This horse really deserves a lesson!"

"Don't!" Guan Xiucai smiled and said, "I have been friends with the Ma shopkeeper for many years. Over the years, I have eaten and drank him a lot. Besides, he is really right. These days, it is true friendship that he can tell you the truth! I have said this a lot. My dignity really can't get on the big stage. If I really wear an official uniform, it's really harmful to the national body. Besides, in the past ten years in the capital, it's been fine for more than ten years. Going forward, alas, I've seen a lot and I can also see it. Now I can follow the prince's side, which is a great blessing. The prince is generous. Du, the princess has nothing to say about treating people. Now, I am only focused on serving the prince, and the rich and noble life for the rest of my life will be right!"

Hearing what he said, the fifth prince stood up, dusted his clothes very easily and smiled, "I am not promising. It is also a good man to find a gentleman. Since you have made up your mind, it's up to you. Sir, look at the file first, and we will talk tomorrow." As the fifth prince spoke, he went out of the door. Guan Xiucai sent the fifth prince to the hospital, turned the folding fan behind his back, and watched the fifth prince go far away. Then he hummed a little song and turned back to the yard.

As soon as the fifth prince entered the drooping flower door, he saw the red sleeves coming towards him. He let him go to the side of the porch and bowed his knees respectfully without raising his head. He lowered his hand and waited for the fifth prince to pass first. The fifth prince couldn't help but slow down and stared at her several times with vigilantly and suspiciously before passing.

Li Tian welcomed the fifth prince, took the tea and handed it to him, and ordered him to set up the meal. The fifth prince pretended to be extremely indifferent, as if he just asked casually, "What is Hongxiu doing here?" What happened again?"

"I'm trying to discuss this for you," Li Tian sat sideways back on the kang, looked at the fifth prince and smiled and said, "It's not about Hongxiu, but about the girls in the East Courtyard. After the Spring Festival, Baoyan and the others have grown one year, and the oldest is 19 years old."

"Who is Baoyan?" The fifth prince interrupted Li Tian's words and asked, and Li Tian explained with a good temper, "It's Mother Qiao who specially picked out the girls who served you. Hongxiu came to find me, but I thought that this matter has to be discussed with you. These are all the girls in the East Courtyard, and you have to decide." The fifth prince looked at Li Tian for a long time before asking, "What do you mean by this? What is this going to do? It's so big, why don't you get a match? What are you doing? It's a big deal to let people gossip about us behind our backs. It's a big deal that we don't get married and hurt the harmony of heaven and earth.

"There are several relatively old people in our house, but none of them may be worthy of Baoyan." Li Tian was calm and her words were gentle. Since she blew a small song in public on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the fifth prince has been awkward, blowing his beard and staring everywhere. At this time, he stared at Li Tian and scolded him, "They are all slaves. Who is not worthy of whom? How is your home?

"You're right," Li Tian is not annoyed at all: "After all, she is the girl in the East Courtyard. You have to decide what I think. I'll talk to Hongxiu later and let her report this to you." The fifth prince stared at Li Tian, turned his head and waved his hand, "What are you looking for me for?" I don't care about this. I said that it's internal affairs from the Moon Gate. It's not my business. It's up to you!"

"In this case, I mean, there is no suitable match in the house, so let their families take them back and get married by themselves." As soon as Li Tian's words fell, the fifth prince came to taste it. The origin of these maids is unknown. Naturally, it is better to let her family take them back to get married by themselves than to say that the wedding maid still stays in the house. When the fifth prince came to tasted, he was sulked. Why didn't she say this at the beginning? Don't you have to talk about it slowly for a long time?!

The fifth prince stared at his Li Tian with a smile. Li Tian has been in a good mood these days. Year after year, the Prince of Jin'an asked for his resignation and Mother Xiong and others used various means. The people who wanted to be cleared have almost cleaned up the east courtyard. Even if the inner courtyard is generally cleaned up, this is since she married, The biggest problem in front of her.

"Has Jiang Dalang replied about the Qingjiang Marquis's Mansion?" Li Tian changed the topic, and the fifth prince swallowed his sulking breath and said, "Qingyuan has told his mother that he has asked someone to come to ask for marriage in the past few days. This matter should not be delayed." Li Tian breathed a gentle sigh of relief. Yu Yaofang was very satisfied with Jiang Zhengyuan. Mrs. Xu felt that she was a rare good relative, but she always felt that it was too easy. The fifth prince paused and looked at Li Tian and said, "I got a messenger."

"Well, the steward Ma told me," Li Tian thought about his words and laughed and said, "Speaking of being a prisoner, I've heard several times that the Li family has been unmarried since Zengzu's loyal and righteous father-in-law, because the Li family's Gaozu is the first generation of brave princes, and the great-grandfathers have been in charge of the Ministry of Industry and generals. The family At that time, my brother was working as a prisoner, and the envoy was different from other places. It was not easy to know what to do. From the craftsman to the foremen, most of them were father and son. Most of the children of the Li family were also promoted by their elders. When they became adults, they were also working as a prisoner to support their families. Do you think you want to talk to your uncle?

The fifth prince was stunned. Most of the foreman who will be the supervisor are from the Li clan. Do the officials know about this? The official family will not know. If they know... There is a chill in the fifth prince's heart. Did the official family plan to let him go to prison when he got married? Or is it because of this marriage that he was put in charge of the general? Perhaps, it is mostly a small matter for the Li clan to be the supervisor, and the officials will not pay attention to it...

Li Tian looked strangely at the fifth prince who stared at her stunned. Just as she was about to speak, the crisp sound of silver birch outside the curtain sounded, and the curtain was raised. Taozhi took a few little girls and set up dinner like running water. Both of them did not talk anymore. After dinner, the fifth prince lowered his head and sipted tea, and suddenly said, "I'll go to check it tomorrow. Aunt Yao's life. Li Tian was in a trance. The fifth prince waved his hand to screen the maids and looked at Li Tian and said, "Big brother is 17 years older than you. Will he know you long ago?" Li Tian understood what he meant and couldn't help frowning. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't know. The box for those things has been sealed since her death. When she received the first gift, Mother Wen was already serving her. She said that she never knew who gave it to her. Grandma never mentioned it. Didn't you grow up in the Empress Dowager's Palace?

"I always feel that he should know you. The eldest brother and his biological mother are not born, even if they know," the fifth prince stopped and was silent for a moment before he continued, "Our brothers, I think the eldest brother is the most like father. His mind is hidden and cruel. Dad can't guess, and the eldest brother's mind can't guess."

"I don't know," Li Tian thought and said, "It doesn't seem to be a bad thing now. Aunt Yao doesn't see any malice towards my father to me."

"Well, we have to quietly investigate this matter. It's better to know the origin than not to know it." The fifth prince really couldn't figure it out. Li Tian nodded in favor. This has always been her heart disease, but if she has anything to do with the royal family, there is nothing good!
