Chapter 377

The palace was extremely lively. Gillian brought people to distribute new clothes and money for the holidays to all the people in the palace. Everyone was beaming and thankful. The palace was full of joy and excitement.

Afterwards, Yan Yan prepared the wine, dishes, and sacrifices for the sacrifice.

Li Xingzhou took Gillian, Shiyu, Qiu'er and Yue'er first to the back mountain to worship the mountain god Tiandi, and then to worship the ancestors at the Citing Altar of the Wangfu. He was the leader in the whole process.

Today, the young King Pingnan has obviously become the pillar of the palace.

Along the way, Shiyu saw that he was a little unhappy, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Li Xingzhou shook his head and smiled, "Haha, it's nothing, you went to sleep with Qiu'er last night, I didn't sleep well, and I didn't feel refreshed."

Shiyu blushed slightly and stepped on him.

After a lively reunion dinner in the main hall in the afternoon, the sun began to set.

The girls happily brought the things they had prepared a long time ago, such as carpets, cloaks, Yue'er's snacks and playing cards, took two maids and went out, boarded the palace carriage, and started to drive towards Yongyue Pavilion.

Everyone was very happy along the way. When they arrived at Yongyue Pavilion, the sun had just set, and there were already crowds of people around. The street on the side of Yongyue Pavilion was packed with BMW carved cars, and all the people coming and going were young ladies from rich families.

As soon as the car from Prince Xiao's mansion arrived, it immediately attracted attention, and they all stepped out of the way.

Under the crowd watching, Li Xingzhou took a few girls through the front building of Yongyue Pavilion to the water pavilion. There were lanterns floating on the water, and there were treasure boats in the river.

There are also many people gathered in the building, most of them are dressed luxuriously, this is not a place where everyone can come in.

He only walked a few steps before someone recognized him and kept coming up to say hello.

Many of them were court officials, and they had met when they were in court. There were also some wealthy ladies who half-covered their faces with their sleeves in the distance, flirting with him secretly, causing Shiyu to pinch his back repeatedly. Li Xingzhou also looked innocent, "Mrs. Do you blame me?"

Shiyu gave him a blank look, and Gillian also hurried forward to wrap his arm around him, swearing sovereignty.

Li Xingzhou dealt with the officials hastily, and then took a few people to sit on the waterside pavilion. Gillian and Shiyu laid out the carpet, and Qiuer Yueer took the snacks and playing cards they brought over.

There were people coming and going around, and a few people sat by the river, watching a stage and singing by the river in the distance, the performers were very happy, the ancient entertainment activities were like this, after watching for a while, a few girls played poker again, There were exactly four of them, and Li Xingzhou couldn't get in, very depressed.

At this time, he vaguely heard someone calling him at the end, Li Xingzhou turned around in astonishment, it turned out to be Xie Linjiang whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Compared with the old Mr. Pianpian, a weak scholar, he is much stronger and darker, and his face is a bit more vicissitudes.

As soon as he saw him, Xie Linjiang made a long bow, and then happily thanked himself for persuading him to become an official, which made him gain a lot of knowledge and learn how to behave.

Li Xingzhou got up, explained to Gillian, and then walked and chatted with Xie Linjiang along the corridor by the river. It was boring on the contrary, and it was just right for someone to chat.

The two walked in the corridor by the waterside pavilion, mostly Xie Linjiang was talking, he listened, Xie Linjiang said a lot about his work in Jiangzhou, and at the same time expressed his admiration for himself from time to time, of course it was comfortable to be praised, Li Xingzhou was a little smug , grinning from ear to ear.

It's just that he never expected that Xie Linjiang was actually working under his father-in-law, the world is really small.

Afterwards, Xie Linjiang happily told him about Jiangzhou's problems. Li Xingzhou also found it very interesting. They turned around the corridor and came to a small pavilion. In the pavilion, some pomegranates, chestnuts and the like were placed on stone tables and wooden plates. There are people in the corridor from time to time, so they enter the small pavilion.

In the small pavilion, Xie Linjiang happened to be talking about the current chaos in Jiangzhou, and his face gradually became worried: "People can't work with peace of mind, and business is also difficult. If this kind of chaos lasts for a few years, I'm afraid Ningjiang Mansion won't be there anymore." It is the largest mansion in northern Beijing."

Li Xingzhou nodded and comforted him: "Take your time, there will always be a way."

Xie Linjiang nodded.

Li Xingzhou understands the situation he is talking about. The situation in Jiangzhou has happened in many cities in history, but almost none of them can be successfully governed. Once the moral bottom line is breached on a large scale, it will be a disaster and it is difficult to make up for it.

Next to Xie Linjiang, he continued to talk about some restrictive measures taken by their yamen, but Li Xingzhou wondered whether the chaos in Jiangzhou would affect the business of the palace. After all, Jiangzhou was an important point in his plan.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Xie Linjiang beside him saying: "I have seen the prefect!"

When Li Xingzhou looked up, it turned out to be his father-in-law, Wang Tong, the prefect of Ningjiang Prefecture, and his wife.

Unexpectedly meeting him in Yongyue Pavilion, Li Xingzhou stood up and bowed, "I have met my father-in-law and my mother-in-law."

The mother-in-law nodded happily, but Wang Tong just replied indifferently: "I have seen the prince."

Xie Linjiang who was next to him was stunned, as if aware of the delicate relationship between them, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, Madam, I was chatting with the prince about Jiangzhou's affairs just now, you might as well sit down and talk about it together."

"Oh?" When Wang Tong heard about Jiangzhou's affairs, he immediately became interested: "In this case, I will listen to the high opinion of the prince."

As he said that, he also walked into the kiosk, which obviously meant making things difficult. Xie Linjiang, who wanted to ease the atmosphere, was stunned, and the atmosphere became more tense.

Li Xingzhou frowned slightly, what does Wang Tong mean?
Although I am my father-in-law, there is no need to keep losing face over and over again.
He was a little angry just now, but his mother-in-law sat on the stone bench beside him, and said gently: "These days Gillian has to be taken care of by Lord Lao."

Seeing his mother-in-law's attitude is so good, Li Xingzhou couldn't say anything harsh, so he could only respond with a smile: "Mother-in-law is serious, Gillian is taking care of me, from now on we will be a family, let's call me Xing."

The gentle mother-in-law smiled: "Okay, Xingzhou."

Li Xingzhou nodded and agreed, the mother-in-law is much easier to get along with than the father-in-law, making people feel like a spring breeze.

"Didn't Mr. Xie talk about the Jiangzhou matter just now? It is said that the prince has a great opinion, can you teach the subordinates, open your eyes, don't forget to mention it." The tense atmosphere was gone.

Li Xingzhou stopped laughing. Could it be that his father-in-law has eaten gunpowder, so he can't imitate his mother-in-law?Where did I provoke him?
Li Xingzhou has never hated confrontation with others, competition makes people improve, but he is very displeased with Wang Tong's inexplicable and unreasonable malice.If it wasn't for Gillian's sake and he didn't want to embarrass her, he would have yelled at her a long time ago.

That's okay, Li Xingzhou thought to himself, anyway, the Jiangzhou matter should be resolved as soon as possible, and he still has to do business with Jiangzhou people.

"My lord Wang is polite, but I don't dare to be polite." Li Xingzhou arched his hands, and he was not going to be polite anymore, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "But if I help Jiangzhou, what good will it be?"

"Hahaha, I have long heard that although the prince is a nobleman of the Tian family, he is good at business affairs. It seems that the rumors are true." Wang Tong said disdainfully: "Businessmen value profits, the world is probably the same."

Li Xingzhou also laughed: "Hahahaha, Mr. Wang is right. The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit; if you value profit, you are a villain. My lord Wang and I are just villains. Hypocrite's difference."

Wang Tong's face darkened, Xie Linjiang quickly got up and wanted to persuade him, but Li Xingzhou reached out to stop him: "Mr. Xie, please find some drinks."

Xie Linjiang opened his mouth, but finally cupped his hands and went to get drinks. He finally chose to trust King Pingnan.

Li Xingzhou continued to laugh and said: "This king cut straight to the point, the so-called Mr. Wang doesn't think about tea and food, is overwhelmed, and can't understand the big things, in my eyes, it's just a trivial matter, Xuyi can solve it!

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If things come to fruition, all ferry crossings in Jiangzhou must be open to the Wangfu for free trial use. The Wangfu is doing business in Jiangzhou, and the yamen must not obstruct or interrogate without reason. What do you think, Mr. Wang? "

Wang Tong's face became even uglier after hearing this, and then he laughed: "Hahaha, it's a trivial matter, Xuyi can solve it? The prince really knows how to joke."
