Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 300 Undercurrent
The eldest grandson of Fuguo Duke's Mansion is really Zhu Jin'an, and his mother, Mrs. Shizi, is from the Liang family of Lindai Mansion, Yibei Province.

The father of Mrs. Shizi is Liang Zhenghao, the right servant of the Ministry of Justice. His eldest son Zhu Jinan is about to get married, and his fiancée is his mother's natal cousin.

In other words, this marriage is a close relationship.

And Zhu Jin'an's prospective father-in-law is Liang Yiheng, the censor of Zuoqian Capital of the Procuratorate, and the relationship is very complicated.

The prince then stroked the other people around the fourth prince, and suddenly found that the fourth prince was silent, and the people around him were already in important positions.

This discovery made him shudder.

Compared with the second and third children who are in the limelight, the fourth child is inconspicuous, but he has grown to the point where people should be afraid.

However, Concubine Rong Guifei, the mother and concubine of the fourth child, is the eldest daughter of the Fuguo Duke's Mansion, and has a noble status. Those people who bet on the fourth child are actually justified.

As for the fourth prince, he naturally received the news quickly.

"Mr. Wen, do you think this news is true?"

The fourth prince was skeptical about the news, but he hadn't seen the fifth child recently, which made him suspicious.

Staff member Mr. Wen pondered for a moment, "I think this is true because the Fifth Prince hasn't seen him for a few days. In fact, we only need to send people to Beiyuan Mansion to investigate. It's just that everything should be done first. Iron ore, I believe everyone wants to get a share of it.”

"However, what is embarrassing for His Royal Highness is whether it has been confirmed that there is an iron mine, or has someone just been sent to inspect it? If it is the latter, we may be in vain if we go."

The Fourth Prince frowned, "What's more, if His Highness goes there in person, Father will definitely be suspicious. The errands in hand have not been completed yet, so I can't leave at all."

Mr. Wen shook the folding fan in his hand, "If the imperial court wants to develop iron mines, it must not avoid those local snakes. If His Highness feels unsafe, why not send someone to check it out before making a decision."

The fourth prince has a calm personality and never likes to be aggressive.But this time he didn't wait for anyone, and he couldn't help becoming impetuous.

"It's just that if we act slowly, the benefits will fall into the hands of others."

Mr. Wen paused for a moment, and then said: "This time the fifth prince went in person. He really likes to collect money. If we want to get some benefits from it, we still have to be sincere."

The fourth prince walked back and forth in the study, "Sir, do you mean that His Highness Deben will go there in person? But in this way, it is unavoidable to be a bit deliberate."

Mr. Wen knocked the folding fan on his hand, and then said: "You forgot, the eldest grandson of Fuguo Duke's Mansion is getting married soon, and his fiancée is from the Liang family of Lindai Mansion, Yibei Province!"

The fourth prince's heart suddenly moved when he heard the words, yes!How could he forget this?

"My Highness and him are direct cousins. How can I miss my Highness when he greets the bride this time?"

The fourth prince made up his mind, and then thought about how to push back the errand in hand.

"However, this news suddenly reached our ears, it must be because the people behind it have ulterior motives."

The fourth prince thought for a long time, and then said: "I'm afraid someone is waiting for the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"If that's the case, then you should stir the water even more." Mr. Wen said confidently, shaking his folding fan.

"Sir, do you have a candidate in mind?" the fourth prince asked with raised eyebrows.

"Over there, isn't there someone idle?" Mr. Wen pointed the folding fan in the direction of Beicheng, smiling mysteriously.

The fourth prince's heart trembled, "You mean Prince Jing'an?"

He then shook his head, "I heard that he can't leave Fayuan Temple because of his illness, and must be accompanied by that purple dove flower."

"Didn't you say that you have already researched the method of planting purple dove flowers? You only need to bring the pills, so you don't need to be too anxious, right?"

Mr. Wen knows that the purple dove flowers brought back from the Western Regions are hard to survive, and not many are still alive.

And Prince Jing'an's medicine must use purple dove flower, but a few days ago, Zhou Yuanpan of Tai Hospital had found the habit and characteristics of purple dove flower in ancient books.

No matter how harsh the planting conditions are, the survival rate must be much higher than before.

The fourth prince nodded, and said: "As long as the purple dove flower is no longer so rare and it is enough to make soup, then the prince of Jing'an does not need to absorb the pollen of the purple dove flower all the time."

"Just, will Father Emperor agree?"

The royal father has always been afraid of King Duan, who knows the whole court?
Is the royal father really relieved to let the eldest son of Jingan out from under his nose?

"Didn't you say that the emperor was suspicious of the son before? Isn't it just an opportunity this time? Maybe the emperor wants to test it out? If there is a son with him, even if something goes wrong, we can push it to his head , this is more conducive to our actions, and it can also provoke the relationship between him and the emperor."

A smile curled up on the corner of Mr. Wen's mouth, which was exactly what he intended.

The fourth prince hesitated when he heard the words, but in fact this is indeed a clever plan, which will benefit him and not harm him.

However, he still has some friendship with Zong Zeming.Would it be too ruthless to do so?

When Mr. Wen saw the fourth prince's hesitant expression, he knew that the fourth prince couldn't bear it.

"Your Highness, this woman's benevolence is not worth it! Besides, we still can't figure out what King Duan is thinking. What's more, the son is not as ignorant of the government as he appears on the surface. On the contrary, I think he has a plan and a deep plan." Nah!"

The fourth prince frowned, "Why do you see that?"

"Hmph! Do you think it was a coincidence that Zhou Yuan found the ancient book? I'm afraid that the son will be under house arrest in Fayuan Temple, and he won't be able to stay any longer?"

Mr. Wen smiled inscrutably and profoundly, and the fourth prince was shocked in his heart.

The ups and downs and treacherous events in the capital naturally have nothing to do with Su Yizhao. At this moment, she is fighting on the last day of the second round of the rural examination.

"Huh!" She exhaled softly, and finished transcribing the answer to the last question!

I checked it carefully and found no mistakes, so I put it aside to dry.

After every rain in autumn, the weather will become a bit colder.

It rained again last night, at this moment Su Yizhao has already put on two layers of unlined clothing.

Some candidates were shivering from the cold, so they had to wrap themselves tightly in thin quilts.

After Su Yizhao waited for the ink to dry completely, he rang the bell to get out of the house.

It has been raining for the past two days, and the humidity in the dormitory is very heavy. She can't stay for a quarter of an hour, and would rather stay in the hall.

It was the first to hand in the paper again, and while everyone was envious, they couldn't help feeling anxious.

Carrying the packed test basket in his hand, it was a bit heavy, after all, there was still some unfinished rice.

In order to prevent the food in the Gongyuan from being clean and afraid of spoiling his stomach, Su Yizhao endured it all the time and only bought vegetarian dishes once.

A piece of stir-fried beans with fried turmeric was rotten. It was just a small dish, and before it was delivered, the officials used chopsticks to check it over and over several times.

After it was delivered, Su Yizhao completely lost his appetite.

There are more than two days left, Su Yizhao intends to wait until the third round, and leave the Gongyuan after the exam.

Fortunately, the weather is a little bit cold, otherwise, she would feel that she would be spoiled if she didn't take a bath for so many days.
