Dajin royal family

Chapter 175 Leping's Dissatisfaction (1936)

Duguzheng seemed to feel that his attitude was too tough and hurt the heir of the patriarch he had been carefully cultivating, so he said, "Ah Luo, you have to know that no matter how unwilling we are on this matter, it is now a done deal. , He has great power in his hands, we can't be too tough, otherwise we will play into his hands."

Dugu Luo said unwillingly: "But elder brother, are you just watching him gradually nibble away at us? First, he moved the capital, then the Li family, the Yu family, and now our tenants. If things go on like this, he will become more and more unscrupulous. .”

"He's the emperor, so what's wrong with being unscrupulous?" Dugu smiled speculatively, "Ah Luo, you have to remember, no matter how powerful he is, he can still be smarter than the first emperor. There are only a thousand-year-old family in this world. Dynasty. Now we really have nothing to do, but since he has listed the family as an enemy, he is not only an enemy of our Guanzhong nobles."

"What do you mean brother?"

Dugu snorted softly, stood up slowly, squinted his eyes at the fish fighting for food in the pond, "It's still too early, whoever can calm down will be the final winner."

In the mansion of Langya County, Jiang Chengxiao sat on the cushion and touched the bulging bump on his head and couldn't help sighing.

The elder Sun Qingyi on the side put the plaster on him distressedly, and blamed him: "My husband is really, I have to quarrel with my father over a trivial matter. Just bow your head and admit your mistake, but you have to let your father beat you a few times to be satisfied." .”

What a trivial matter, this is his father calling to the emperor.

Le Ping grinned, "Sister-in-law, it's a good thing you weren't there. The quarrel between father and brother was very intense. Today, Auntie went to the outside of the city and Zhuangzi is not in the mansion. Otherwise, I could have saved my brother."

Looking at her brother's funny look, Liao'er couldn't help covering her mouth and secretly smiling, it was the first time she saw her brother lose his appearance.

Jiang Chengxiao angrily reached out to knock her on the head, but Le Ping dodged nimbly.Eldest Sun Qingyi told him to calm down a little funny and angrily, "You are the Duke of the county after all, how can you still care about your sister, really."

"That's right." Le Ping chimed in.

Jiang Chengxiao was speechless, thinking of something, and asked: "Le Ping, what is Auntie going to Zhuangzi for, and do you need to arrange any orphans?"

Le Ping said: "It's not that, it's not about His Majesty's relocation of tenants. Our family also has to relocate many people. These days, A Niang is worrying about these things every day. She has gone to Zhuangzi several times to make arrangements."

That's right, his Prince Zhao's Mansion also has a lot of fertile land in Guanzhong. Although it can't be compared with the Dugu family, Wei family, and Dou family, it is also a big family, and there are not a few tenants under his hands. people.

Jiang Chengxiao joked with a smile: "You only dare to run around in the house while A Niang is not in the house. If you let A Niang know, be careful with your skin."

Hearing this, Le Ping pouted and said, "Hmph, I really don't want to go back, Auntie is really annoying recently."

"what happened?"

Le Ping didn't say a word, he ate the peach blossom cake depressedly, his cheeks were bulging, and he didn't know if she was angry or had eaten too much.

Changsun Qingyi explained in a low voice next to his ear, "I heard that Auntie wants to marry Leping."

"Whose family?" Jiang Chengxiao asked.

Changsun Qingyi shook his head and told him that he didn't know.

At this time, Le Ping said angrily: "Who else can it belong to, of course it is the Zheng family. I really hate it, I hate it."

The Zheng family?

Jiang Chengxiao pinched the hem of his clothes and thought for a while. Speaking of which, he seemed to have had a blind date with a certain girl from the Zheng family before.

"You don't like the one Auntie ordered for you?"

"The one who decided!" Le Ping corrected: "I didn't agree at all."

Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help laughing, what's the difference? The parents ordered the matchmaker's words, as long as the Zheng family and Zhao Wang agreed, Le Ping's opinion was not important.

"Before I leave Chang'an, I should pay a visit to Zheng's mansion, and I will help you check it out, what do you think?" Jiang Chengxiao joked.

"Brother, I'll be angry if you say that again." Le Ping's expression turned cold.

Eldest Sun Qingyi smiled to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, don't say a few words, isn't this peach blossom cake delicious, and why do you say these unhappy things?"

Jiang Chengxiao squinted his eyes, when did this little girl still have a temper, this little girl really made him helpless, and swallowed the teasing words.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore." Jiang Chengxiao rubbed his nose and ended the topic awkwardly.

Le Ping's expression eased this time, and he said sullenly: "A Niang is not for my own good at all."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Chengxiao raised his eyebrows, then gestured to his wife with his eyes.Changsun Qingyi understood, and immediately waved her hand to make the maids and servants in the room retreat, leaving only a few of them inside.

Le Ping said: "Once I overheard a conversation between A Niang and my grandmother. My grandmother said that my grandfather wanted to get married to the palace. My brother already had a sister-in-law, so I didn't think about it. My grandfather hoped that A Niang would marry me to Zheng. Home."

Yan'er covered her mouth, and looked at Le Ping sympathetically.Once upon a time, her experience was similar to that of Le Ping, but she had a good brother who saved her from a catastrophe.

After listening, Changsun Qingyi didn't express any opinion, but just sat aside silently and meditated.This matter is not something she can talk about, because her status in Zheng's mind has plummeted because of her lack of childbirth.

"Didn't you lie to me?" Jiang Chengxiao's voice changed unconsciously.

Le Ping shook his head, and said with a downcast expression: "How can my little sister make fun of such a thing?"

The Zheng family, the Zheng family again.What exactly do they want to do? A few days ago, Zheng Shanyuan got close to him strangely, but now he wants to marry Zhao Wangfu again.No, that's not right, or they wanted to marry Zhao Wangfu before, but they were married by the emperor, otherwise, it is very likely that they are marrying Zheng's daughter now.

Judging from the weight of the Zheng family in Xingyang, it seems that there is no need to be so close to a palace. What exactly does he want to do?
Jiang Chengxiao smiled lightly, and said: "After I leave Chang'an, I don't worry about your sister-in-law staying alone in the mansion without anyone to accompany her. Le Ping, Xiaoer, I will tell A Niang when the time comes, the two of you stay in the mansion of Langya County to accompany you." How about sister-in-law?"

Changsun Qingyi is so smart, she immediately understood her husband's plan, and said with a smile: "Yeah, I'm really bored here alone, if the princess and the third sister don't mind, can you accompany me?"

Hairy eyes lit up, she didn't want to stay in the palace at all, it wasn't her home.She likes to be close to her brother.

"Of course I would."

Le Ping hesitated and said: "Brother, can you really talk to A Niang?"

"Then would you like to stay and accompany your sister-in-law to relieve boredom?" Jiang Chengxiao asked with a smile.

"I am willing."

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Then there's no problem, I'll be the one to make the case for Auntie, and you two will be responsible for accompanying my sister-in-law when I leave Chang'an."

"Okay." Le Ping smiled.

The four of them had dinner, Jiang Chengxiao went to the study, and the eldest Sun Qingyi took the two of them to play leaf games with the concubine Bai.

Jiang Chengxiao knelt in front of the table, carefully looked at the word "Zheng" written on the paper, and then picked up a pen to connect it with "Zhao Wangfu", and under "Zheng's" was "Pei" Family", "Wang Family", "Lu Family", "Cui Family" and so on.

So far, the most unrealistic idea he has thought is that the Zheng family wants to use Zhao Wang's power to stabilize their position among the elites of the Shandong gentry.

But is it really necessary?

He couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure out why the Zheng family had to be so close to Prince Zhao's mansion, and what exactly was Zheng Shanyuan planning.

His gaze moved away from "Zheng's family" and landed on "Pei's family".He suddenly remembered the news that Nan Jiyun told him that Pei Yun, the younger brother of the Minister of Rites, Pei Ju, is now serving as the minister of the Ministry of Industry. This is very interesting news.

Thinking of Pei's family, he remembered that when he left the palace that day, Zheng Shanyuan told him not to disturb Pei Ju easily.

Is it
"Hey." Jiang Chengxiao smiled, it was interesting, it seemed that before he left, he still had a chance to figure out what Zheng Shanyuan was planning.

Afterwards, he took out a new piece of paper and laid it flat, picked up a pen and wrote on it: Kid Qingque would like to pay homage to Pei Gong.
Half an hour later, when the post was finished, Jiang Chengxiao sealed it with wax and handed it to Nan Jiyun, and ordered: "Send the post to Wenxi County Government."

"This subordinate understands." Nan Jiyun took the invitation and turned to leave.

After Nan Jiyun left, Jiang Chengxiao looked at Wu Shanhui and said, "Go and inform Fang Er, I want the detailed rules for the news of all the young children of the Zheng family and the Pei family in Beijing, and they must come out within three days."

"Yes!" Wu Shanhui turned around and left.
