high official

Chapter 291

Lin Qing'er offered to sit down, and Xiao Baicai sat down.However, Gu Xiaolian bowed deeply to her and said: "Your maidservant is a maidservant, how can she sit in front of Madam."

Lin Qing'er smiled and said, "Come here, push her onto the chair."

"Mrs. Xie." Gu Xiaolian sat down cautiously, with a low-browed look.

"Little sister, you don't need to be polite," Lin Qing'er smiled and took her hand and said, "You and I will be sisters of our own family from now on, and we will get along day and night. Just call me sister and treat me as a relative." Sisters are fine."

"The servant girl dare not be rude..." The more she behaved like this, the more Gu Xiaolian dared not agree.

"That's what you think, I'm not worthy to be your sister." Lin Qing'er said with a pretty face.

"My servant doesn't dare..." Gu Xiaolian had no choice but to follow her wishes and called out 'sister'.

"Hey, good sister," Lin Qing'er smiled happily, looked at her carefully and said, "What a fairy concubine!"

"Sister, I'm overwhelmed." Gu Xiaolian said shyly.

"Let's eat first, and then talk slowly after eating." Lin Qing'er let go of her hand, and Gu Xiaolian entered the table, needless to say about the family eating.

In the outer room, Wang Xian and others had already started drinking and talking and laughing. Seeing Zhu Zhanji walking back three times, everyone made fun of him: "He is back, but Hun'er hasn't come back yet."

"Hey." Zhu Zhanji entered the table shamelessly, and said with a smile, "I never thought Brother Wang would have such a lovely sister."

"Is it cute?" Wang Xian said with a half-smile, "It's average."

"It's not ordinary!" Zhu Zhanji shook his head like a rattle: "Hands are like catkins, skin is like creamy fat, collar is like grub, teeth are like gourd rhinoceros, gnat's head is moth eyebrows, smiling sweetly, beautiful eyes looking forward... ...You mean our sister Yinling!"

"Okay." Wang Xian smacked his lips, thinking what is this called?Beauty is in the eyes of beholder? "Sit down and have a drink."

"Brother..." Zhu Zhanji sat down next to him, fawning on his face: "Is our sister Yinling married?"

"Never." Wang Xian shook his head, before waiting for Zhu Zhanji to be ecstatic, he said slowly: "But it seems that I have someone in mind."

"Oh..." Zhu Zhanji's expression froze, but he said indifferently: "It's okay, as long as I don't have a marriage contract, I still have a chance!"

"Ahem..." Wang Xian said noncommittally, "Eat first, eat first."

When everyone was pushing cups and changing glasses, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help asking him in a low voice: "Why, aren't you very happy?"

Wang Xian saw that this guy would not give up if he didn't give him an explanation today, so he put down the wine cup, sighed and said, "Your Highness... oh no, Brother Niu Ba, although my sister is the daughter of a small family, but She is the jewel in the palm of our family."

"Yeah." Zhu Zhanji nodded vigorously and said, "It will be my favorite in the future."

"Listen to me first..." Wang Xianyi raised his hand and said, "As an elder brother, I never thought of letting her climb the dragon and the phoenix. I only hope that she will marry a lover and live a life of peace and happiness." Zhan Ji said: "To be honest, don't be offended, Your Highness, the palace is not a good place for women. I don't want my sister to live the life of 'letting go of love before she is old, and leaning on the smoked cage until dawn'."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Wang Xian's face in surprise. He didn't expect him to answer like this. He was at a loss for words for a while, and asked in a low voice after a long while: "Do you want her to marry the person she likes?"

"I don't want to," Wang Xian said slowly, "It's not a good match either."

"Then she must marry." Zhu Zhanji asked again.

"If she insists on marrying him, I can't stop her." Wang Xian sighed.

Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed and said, "So, if Yinling insists on marrying me, you won't stop her."

"Uh..." Amidst the roar of laughter from the crowd, Wang Xian sighed helplessly, this guy unexpectedly got him in.

"Since they are not a good match, then I, a bad person, will start a competition!" Seeing that he was able to trap Wang Xian with words, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but said triumphantly: "You just wait to be my brother-in-law!"

"I wish you success..." Others dare not provoke Wang Xian, but Master Xianyun is not a big deal.

"Thank you Jiyan!" Zhu Zhanji smiled and his appetite was wide open. He tore off a goose leg and began to munch on it.

Wang Xian sighed, thinking that this is all a mess.Turning to Wu Wei and the others, he said, "You guys are not too young anymore, it's time to think about the big things in your life."

"Your Excellency finally remembered us..." Shuai Hui said with a resentful expression on his face, "I thought you were full and didn't know you were hungry."

"What nonsense," Wang Xian scolded with a smile, "I've been busy before, but today, while His Highness is here, you can talk about your requirements, and His Highness and I will find out for you."

"That's nice," Shuai Hui said excitedly, "I don't ask too much, as long as I'm about the same as Miss Xiao Lian!"

"That's not high..." Zhu Zhanji bulged his cheeks, and said vaguely, "Except for my little aunt, I really haven't seen anyone similar to her."

"If my sister listens to this..." Wang Xian sneered.

"In my opinion, Miss Yinling is much prettier than my aunt!" Zhu Zhanji added triumphantly, go ahead.

"Okay, Shuaihui wants a beautiful woman." Wang Xian looked at Erhei again and said, "What about you?"

"I want one with a big frame, especially big buttocks. Big buttocks are good for giving birth. That's what my father said." Erhei said in a muffled voice.

"Understood, Erhei wants to grow big," Wang Xian looked at Wu Wei again and said, "What about you?"

"Don't bother your lord and Your Highness," Little Fatty Wu shook his head and said, "My father will worry about it for me."

"Well, Doctor Wu's eyesight is definitely not bad." Wang Xian's eyes finally fell on Xianyun, "Where is Master Xianyun?"

Dressed in white, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the jade tree facing the wind, the outstanding young master Xianyun said lightly: "I don't need it."

"Aren't Wudang Taoist priests allowed to get married?" Zhu Zhanji said strangely: "Besides, you are not a Taoist priest now."

"Master Xianyun means..." It was Wang Xian who understood Xianyun best, and explained for him: "He is tall, handsome and rich, so we don't need to worry about it. The big girl will post it up, right?"

"..." Xianyun snorted, but did not deny it.

Everyone suddenly realized that they really had extraordinary confidence...

.

During the meal, Zhu Zhanji pestered Wang Xian to ask about Yinling's situation, what she liked to eat, what dramas she liked to watch, what colors she liked, and so on, asking in great detail...it seemed that she was really serious.

But ashamed to say, Wang Xian didn't know what his sister liked, so he had to fool him.I really couldn't keep fooling around, so I said seriously: "Your Highness is a person who wants to do big things, so you can't act like a child, let's talk about something serious."

"Hey..." Zhu Zhanji was embarrassed by what he said, and thought what was wrong with me. He followed like a demon, so he nodded and said, "What should I say?"

"For example, Eunuch Zheng's voyages to the west, did he bring enough goods?" Wang Xian asked him.

"Fortunately, finally enough is enough." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "It's still my grandfather who is amazing! This year, Zhejiang suffered a catastrophe, and there was another catastrophe. It seems that it is absolutely impossible to prepare all the goods for the Western Ocean. Yes. However, according to the old man’s will, Zhou Xin, the procurator of Zhejiang Province, will commit crimes and meritorious deeds. If he fails to deliver the goods on time, he will be punished for his previous crimes and his whole family will be punished at Qiantangkou! With a decree, who dare not try our best? You claimed five hundred bolts, and I claimed one thousand bolts, and lost money to buy raw silk, hurriedly rushed, and finally weaved [-] bolts of silk."

"Your Majesty is such a good means..." Wang Xian sighed and said, "It's just the life of the people in Zhejiang, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

"My emperor can't help it either. The country spends too much money. If the [-] bolts of silk can't be collected this winter, next year's military expenditure will be lost." Without outsiders, Zhu Zhanji has nothing to hide , wryly smiled and said: "My emperor's grandfather is about to force Xia Shangshu to hang himself. There is nothing we can do. We can only suffer the people of Zhejiang."

"Alas..." In front of his grandson, Wang Xian sighed again, cheering up and asked, "So the Northern Expedition is a foregone conclusion?"

"Of course." Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "In July, my emperor granted Alutai the title of King Hening and allowed him to pay tribute, and the people of Wala held a grudge. I got an urgent report from Gansu yesterday that Mahamu detained me The envoys of the court also asked the court to return them on the grounds that most of the Tatars who belonged to Gansu and Ningxia were relatives of them."

"This guy is really shameless." Everyone heard the words and said angrily.

"My grandpa is also furious, and has already sent the eunuch Haitong to take the blame. But it's just for the sake of fame. No matter how Mahamu reacts, it is a foregone conclusion that I will send troops to destroy this thief." Zhu Zhan Jidao: "In fact, the imperial court is already dispatching troops and generals. Kaiping is now in a state of combat readiness. Marquis Chen Mao of Ningyang, Governor Tan Qing, Ma Ju, Zhu Chong and others have already set out to inspect Ningxia, Datong, and Shaanxi. The border defense. My emperor also ordered the Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Tongguan Five Guards to station in Xuanfu, and the Central Capital, Liaodong, and Henan Commanders and the Wuping Four Guards joined forces in Beijing. It seemed that they were guarding Oala, but actually It’s standing in front of the royal conquest!”

"Then counting the days, we will go to war almost a year ago?" Wang Xian asked softly.

"It won't be years ago," Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "The most important thing for an army to go out is morale. If the soldiers are allowed to go out before the new year, it will really hit the morale too much." After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said: " Besides, we have to wait until all the autumn grains are harvested to prepare the food, so we have to set off in the first month of next year at the earliest."

"So," Wang Xian said, "the army is actually waiting for the rice to cook?"

"That's right," Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "But please don't spread this word. If you are accused of shaking the morale of the army, you can't afford it."

"Don't worry about that, brothers are not talkative people." Wang Xian nodded and said: "Will our young army accompany you on the expedition? Have you decided?"

"It's settled, let's go to the expedition." Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "That's why I was in a hurry to invite my wife to the capital, so that even if there are three problems, you can still stay behind."

"Fuck you!" Wang Xian rolled his eyes and said, "My life is long."
