Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 169
"Look at what Mister said, who doesn't know the old man's temper, who would ask me to say something? No, it's okay, but it's not about Xiang, sir, it's more straightforward!"

"Who entrusted you? What is entrusted? I will listen to what is entrusted, so I can know whether you can get the entrusted money."

"You said that I can't get the entrusted money. How can I get any entrusted money for this matter? They are all my brothers, okay, okay, let me tell you, it's not a big deal. You know what happened, it was harsh and repulsive, the fifth child said, it’s not his daughter-in-law’s fault, it’s because he wants to save money, he opened a house, there are too many places to spend money, and he doesn’t have money on hand. For the money, I just want to find a few profitable errands to do, just like the errand Jiang Liuling did last year, he got a small hundred thousand silver in one trip. If Liu Dashi can enter the middle school, old Liu will be easy to talk to , Second, since Nie Yan can talk in front of him, this job is easy, and this matter is a trivial thing to tell you, that's all right, you hurry up and tell me, can you get in?"

Yao Shishi's temper is not one that can be patient and dawdling. Mr. Lu is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry first, and explained everything that the fifth prince and himself said in detail.Mr. Lu listened attentively, stared at him for a while before he smiled and said: "It's really not a big deal, to be honest with the Fourteenth Lord, I really haven't heard this matter from Mr. It's time to come back, as soon as he comes back, I'll go find him to talk to him, how about you come to listen to the reply one night later?"

"Okay! Mister is straightforward!" Yao Shishi beamed brightly. His old man trusted Mr. Lu the most. Since Mr. Lu agreed to inquire for him, he would be able to find out.

Sending Yao Shisi away, Mr. Lu chewed the mutton and thought about it for a while. Hearing that Mr. Yao was back, he hurriedly got up to wash his mouth and hands, and went to the study to look for Mr. Yao.

After listening to Mr. Lu's words, Mr. Yao's face darkened, and he sighed heavily after a long while: "The children and grandchildren are unworthy!"

"Brother Fourteen is honest by nature, it's not a bad thing." Mr. Lu reassured, and Yao Xianggong took a sad picture of Gao Ji: "If it wasn't for my son's stupidity, why would I bother..." Yao Xianggong sighed again, he There are only two sons, the eldest son Yao Yuanzheng is only slightly better than the youngest son Yao Yuanhang, the two sons are even less than one tenth of him.

"Ms. Xianggong's words are serious. The elder brother and the second elder brother are so smart!" Mr. Lu knows how to comfort Yao Xianggong. The eldest brother and the second elder brother are the two grandchildren of Yao Xianggong's eldest son. One is eight years old and the other is five. Years old, is indeed very smart and rare.

"It's just for these two little grandsons!" Thinking of the smartness and cuteness of the two little grandsons, Mr. Yao twisted his beard and showed a gratified smile on his face: "If it wasn't for the two of them, why would I bother? Oh, don't say it." Here, tell me what you mean."

"Fifth Master inquired about Liu Xueshi's entry into the middle school, it was definitely not because he was looking for a good job that could make money. He is a prince, and he has a lot of connections if he wants to make money. Besides, with the Huang family and his princess, he will not be short of money. "Mr. Lu's words were affirmative, Mr. Yao nodded while twisting his beard, and Mr. Lu continued: "That is, is he inquiring for himself or for others."

"It's probably for others." Yao Xianggong narrowed his eyes slightly: "He never had the heart to stand on his own mountain before, and now, it seems that he has no such intention. He can only do it for others, as the king of longevity."

"Yes." Mr. Lu agreed with Yao Xianggong's words very much. He was silent for a moment, looked at Yao Xianggong and said, "The fifth master has been standing by and watching all these years, and he has become attached to him just because of playing with the Moon Tower? He is not stupid. If there is no evidence, then... this matter is incomprehensible."

"Why can't you figure it out? It's your appearance." Yao Xianggong picked up his cup and took a sip of tea: "Fifth Master, like a cautious fox, you have to listen carefully with your ears every step you take, even if there is a slight danger in front of you. He is unwilling to step in any place, so he has to turn around and find another safe place, his affiliation is not about playing with the moon tower, but he has started to find another safe place after he issued a marriage decree from the official house."

"Oh." After a long while, Mr. Lu sighed clearly, this is really a bad fate.

"The matter of playing with the moon tower is definitely not the fourth master. The officials must be well aware of this. If the fourth master takes action, he will still be alive?" Yao Xianggong chuckled disdainfully: "Ye Dalang believes it is the uncle. I think so." Yao Xianggong paused, his eyes narrowed even tighter: "This is a plot arranged by the fifth master himself. With this incident, he became the victim. He turned against the fourth master and voted for him. In the arms of the uncle, no matter whether it is the official family, the uncle, or even the fourth master, they all take it for granted."

Mr. Lu's face became serious: "If this is the case, Fifth Master's scheming is admirable."

"After all these years, he can survive in the palace, and the longer he lives, the better he is. He has no intention to succeed? Look at the second master, look at the third master, which one is not better than him? One is imprisoned by a high wall, and the other is frightened. With courage, since he is in the arms of the uncle... the uncle is really lucky." Mr. Yao sighed leisurely, and Mr. Lu frowned and said: "What about Xueshi Liu?"

"Tell that Nizi, his old man must push Xueshi Liu into Zhongshu with all his strength." Yao Xianggong touched the folding fan casually, shook it twice, and replied with a relaxed face. Mr. Lu looked at Yao Xianggong and said with a smile: "Mr. You should also pay more attention to the strengths of the fourteenth brother, and this friend is everywhere in the capital, and the husband is not comparable."

Yao Xianggong let out a 'poof' laugh, put away the folding fan, pointed at Mr. Lu and laughed angrily, "What you said...he is so stupid, only people plot against him, and behind him is me, my old man, his friend Not many? His friends, either want to plot against him, or plot against me through his hands! Can they be called friends? Well, after raising such a son, I dare not ask for anything else, I just hope that he can die in peace. gone."

"The two elder brothers have only grown up in a decade or so. They have fathers and sons. Speaking of which, this is the blessing of Seventh and Fourteenth Masters."

"I hope the two of them have this blessing." Yao Xianggong sighed with a little worry.

When the fifth prince came back, his face was very gloomy. After eating, he drank two or three cups of tea with a sullen face, looked up at Li Tian who had been sizing him up, and signaled her to turn away all the maids and women.

"What's the matter?" Li Tian asked first, the fifth prince put down the cup in his hand, and said in a muffled voice, "It's not a big deal." Yutangchun is building momentum, the play is well performed, is there any way for our family to win a few more prizes on the [-]th day?"

"It's two different things." Li Tian was stunned for a moment, and looked at the fifth prince amusedly: "I've been preparing for Yutangchun for half a year, and now it's only a few days away from the fifteenth day, what can I do?" Feeling gloomy, Li Tian frowned and asked, "What happened? That lottery is so important?"

"Yeah." The fifth prince gave a specious 'hmm', and subconsciously glanced at the door, Li Tian said casually: "Yue Niang is outside, it's okay." The fifth prince raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Tian, ​​hesitated for a moment before speaking Said: "It doesn't matter if we put it aside for previous years, but this year we will open a new mansion..." Li Tian leaned at him, and pursed his lips. This is not true. What does opening a mansion have to do with winning the prize?
"I mean." The fifth prince sensed that Li Tian heard that what he said was not true, and waved his hand in embarrassment. This daughter-in-law is too smart and it's not good: "This year is different." The fifth prince took a long breath , simply said the truth: "At the banquet today, my father praised the Dongyang County prince's family for being a good performer, and they showed great style at the Lantern Festival every year on the [-]th. It's about filial piety again, and I talked about it for a long time." Li Tian frowned, and the fifth prince paused before continuing: "You also know, eldest brother lives a simple life, and the family never keeps these kabuki and dancers. On the fifteenth day of the year, just look at the lanterns, respond to the scenery, and never compare this with others. The Dongyang County King's words are both holy and filial. Well, I just don't know how to be ungrateful and disrespectful, and if the eldest brother doesn't speak, I have to refute."

Li Tian understands a little bit, it seems that people are running out of words, the fifth prince has a wry smile on his face: "I don't know what Dad thinks, but he went from this to the principle of governing the country, talking about rituals and music The way of governing the country is the fundamental way to govern the country and teach the people. This is an important statement. Yao Xiang and Liu Dashi followed suit, and finally slipped all the way to guessing which prince's house has the most exciting singing and dancing on the [-]th of this year. Which one is the most lively, you still say that I... said that our family knows how to sing, dance, and music best. .”

"It's not us who want to fight for this reward, right?" Li Tian said directly, the fifth prince seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the words became much smoother: "It stands to reason that we shouldn't fight, but the temper of elder brother and sister-in-law has never been bad. It's only a few days now, and they can't fight, I either want to fight, or I can't let the fourth brother win the lottery."

"Can you do it in the third master's house?" Li Tian asked with a look of disbelief. Han Wang is known for his love of reading and learning. People who love reading and learning will certainly not like listening to music and watching dances. When did they live in the house? Neither did it.

"If the third brother's house is better than the fourth brother's, I don't have to worry about it. I can't let the fourth brother win this prize again. It has a lot to do with it." The fifth prince was worried but affirmed. Li Tian looked at him for a while He said in a low voice: "You want to prevent him from winning the prize, but in the eyes of others, isn't this just a fight?"

"Alas!" The fifth prince sighed for a long time, looked at Li Tian with a complicated expression, hesitated to speak, and then said in a very low voice after a long silence: "I don't care what other people think, the most important thing is what Dad thinks." " Li Tian was a little puzzled, and the fifth prince considered his words: "I have not been able to find out who did it for more than half a year, and I have not been able to find out who did it for half a year. I don't know who can lie in front of him and convince him, I think this is Dad's idea."

Li Tian looked at the fifth prince in a daze, but what he was thinking about were those few gifts. This marriage might be related to those few gifts. There must be a plan for a family relationship, what is the plan? The eldest brother said that he was not the fourth brother when he was playing the assassination in the moon tower. Who else can there be?"

"Master?" Li Tian whispered subconsciously, the fifth prince slowly shook his head: "Brother and father, I would rather believe it is father." Li Tian shivered in fright, looked up at the fifth prince, Unable to utter a word, the fifth prince took a deep breath: "I haven't had a good night's sleep since I received the marriage proposal. At first, I wondered whose hands and feet it was, and then wondered if it was my father or not. meaning, and later, I just wanted to know what daddy meant."

What the fifth prince said was confusing and cryptic, but Li Tian heard it clearly, and couldn't help raising his hands to hold his chest, staring at the fifth prince blankly, the fifth prince smiled bitterly: "Royalty, what else can you do? Isn't it all for that seat? In Father's heart, nothing is more important than that seat."

"He wants you... to fight too?" Li Tian's voice became tense, and the fifth prince shook his head very slowly: "I thought so too at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt wrong. Daddy never had anything special to me. When I was young, I followed a few older brothers to show him the class book. I remember it clearly. My father just glanced at it with a smile. No matter how good I wrote, my father always glanced at it like that. He has never noticed the typo, he has never read my handwriting at all, he has never seen it, as long as I live, he doesn't worry about anything else."

"He treats others like this too?" Li Tian felt inexplicably sour in his heart, and his voice became much gentler. The Fifth Prince shook his head: "I don't know, daddy has deep thoughts, and almost no one in the courtiers can tell In his mind, I can feel how he treats me, but I can't feel how he treats others."

"Father values ​​this ancestral world so much, why would he give her to someone he has never cared about?" The corner of the fifth prince's mouth pulled a wry smile: "If I am not forced to fight, then I can only be forced to stand Where can I go, where can I stand?"

"Master?" Li Tian thought of those gifts again in a daze, and he had to tell him about it, maybe this marriage was not what he thought, but for some other reason: "I'll go get you some things. "Li Tian supported the kang a few times to put on his shoes, waved his hand at the fifth prince, motioning for him to come back, and then hurried into the inner room to get the gifts.
