Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 91
The fourth prince followed closely behind, watching Li Tian's car enter Yongguo's mansion. Then he turned his horse's head in satisfaction, sat on the horse, stared at the front without focusing, and savored carefully. According to the situation just now, Xin Ma reined in and went to Hubu.

Although she has been keeping a straight face, isn't it the right way for a lady of the family?There was a smile on the corner of the fourth prince's mouth. She was too careful, but it was just as it should be.He is currently loving her passionately, so what she does is naturally very good and appropriate.

Ye Shusheng was half a horse's head behind, looking at the fourth prince worriedly. He is much older than the fourth prince. Although he has never loved as much as the fourth prince, he has seen a lot of women, and he can see it at just one glance. , that Mrs. Li is not what the fourth master thought at all, I'm afraid she doesn't have the thoughts he imagined, Ye Shusheng secretly sighed, feeling a little awkward in his heart, that Mrs. Li really doesn't have such thoughts Is it thoughtful, or playing hard to get?If there is no such thing, should we be thankful, or should we feel sorry for him?

Passing the Loudianwu Yamen is the Household Department. The fourth prince was riding on the horse. He turned his head to look at the Loudianwu. He remembered Li Xiaozu who was arranged by him a while ago. That was her cousin. She had no siblings. This The cousin is the closest, and she will have to rely on this cousin to support her mother's family in the future. I don't know how talented this Li Xiaozu is. If he has a little talent, he can cultivate it by himself. I will be able to support her for a while, and people have to inquire about the long-term thinking of the fourth prince. Inside the Loudian office, Li Xiaozu came out of the yamen with sweat on his forehead, and the fourth prince reined in the horse's head. Pointing at Li Xiaozu with a whip, he said: "Please come here, Li Dalang, I have a few words to ask him." The servant hurriedly agreed, jumped off the horse and rushed over to summon Li Xiaozu.

Ye Shusheng frowned as if there was nothing, he was busy and relaxed, and looked at Li Xiaozu across the street with a bit of coldness. On the day the fourth prince arranged for Li Xiaozu to enter the shop, he asked someone to inquire about Li Xiaozu from head to heel It is very clear that this is a cowardly, cowardly and incompetent person, and it is not worth paying attention to at all. In fact, if the fourth master marries the wife of the Li family, such a descendant is the most reassuring, and the queen's family will not be too powerful in the future. The family swallowed their anger and thought about it again. The old ancestor was right. It is not the time to think about such things. The most important thing now is the position of the fourth master. Besides, there are noble concubines in the palace, and the Ye family does not use them at all. Worried about such a thing, looking at it now, the fourth master's heart is on Li Niangzi, and the fourth master is stubborn, let alone the future queen, it would be nice not to be rejected by the future queen, and it will occupy a big position.The one with a capable natal family has no favor, and the one with a favor lives under others, and her natal family is helpless. As the ancestors said, this is the best arrangement.

The coldness in Ye Shusheng's eyes dissipated, and with a gentle smile on his face, he looked at Li Xiaozu who was flushed with excitement and ran towards this side behind the servant, such an incompetent and careless person, it is suitable to make friends.

Not far behind the fourth prince, a 30-year-old man with a long face and a hooked nose, shrewd and ruthless, is staring at the fourth prince and his party and Li Xiaozu, who is rushing over with the boy on the opposite side. This is Lai. Ding Jinjing, the second son of the eldest son of Duke Ding's mansion, and Ding's second master Ding Jinjing.Ding Jinjing stared at Li Xiaozu, his eyes were full of astonishment, when did he get lucky and become the fourth prince?No wonder he got a fat job from the repair department for nothing.

Li Xiaozu followed the young servants to squeeze through the traffic and people, and was still five or six steps away from the fourth prince. Ding Jinjing suddenly rushed to Li Xiaozu from a few steps from a diagonal stab, with a smile on his face, and he was very familiar and pulled him back. Li Xiaozu laughed and said: "Jingzong, I didn't expect to meet you here. I was looking for you. Our two brothers have disappeared for a while. What are you busy with?" When did he and Ding Erye become brothers?In his impression, Ding Erye always had a serious face, didn't say a word, and didn't even keep his eyes on him.

"I" Li Xiaozu just said the word 'I', Ding Jinjing seemed to have just discovered the fourth prince behind him, he hurriedly let go of Li Xiaozu, knocked his head with a folding fan, smiled brightly, and cupped his hands at the fourth prince and Ye Shusheng "Look at me, I'm taking care of Dalang, who are you two?" Ding Jinjing asked, "Are you two", as if he had just realized who the person in front of him was, with just the right amount of stunned, panic-stricken long hair. He saluted to the end and said: "It turns out to be the fourth master, but the student is blind. I hope the fourth master will forgive me!"

"You are?" The fourth prince frowned slightly and looked at Ding Jinjing. He didn't know such a person as Ding Jinjing. Before Ye Shusheng could introduce him, Ding Jinjing straightened up, respectfully and timidly, just right, cupped his hands and introduced himself: "Student Ding Jinjing, styled Yunqing, my father, Lai Guogong Ding Hongqing."

"Oh." The fourth prince heard that he was in the mansion of the Duke of Lai, and remembering the incident in the Qingfeng Tower in April, he couldn't help but look at Ding Jinjing a few more times. Ding Jinjing pointed to Li Xiaozu, and continued respectfully: "The student and Li Dalang are close friends. I haven't seen Dalang for a few days. When I saw him just now, I was so happy that I lost my temper and ran into the fourth master. I hope that the fourth master will forgive me."

Ye Shusheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ding Jinjing, and then at Li Xiaozu who had a bewildered face, with a trace of disdain drawn from the corners of his mouth.

Li Tian rushed into the Qingtong Courtyard, rushed into the upper room, circled around, rushed out again, and rushed straight into Shui Qiuniang's small courtyard.

Shui Qiuniang heard Qingzhi and Yueniang tell each other what happened, she frowned slightly, looked at Li Tian and comforted her, "It's just a coincidence, it's not a big deal."

"I know it was a coincidence, I mean how could this person be like this, why did he think that I just wanted to marry him, and was angry because he thought he was late in proposing marriage, and was angry because he couldn't marry him, how could there be such a thing in the world People?" Li Tian said angrily, and Shui Qiuniang said with a slight smile: "He is a prince, with a noble status, but also young and handsome, with outstanding talents, isn't he the best husband-in-law in the eyes of all women in the world? Which one? A woman doesn't want to follow him? He wants to marry someone with three matchmakers and six hires, and it's human nature for him to think so."

"I have to make an appointment quickly." Li Tian bit his lips and said, Shui Qiuniang nodded: "This is a good way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot, but since it is a salary draw, it can only be done quietly. It's not that our family does not want to do it quietly It's fine if you don't make a sound, the reason is hard to say, you have to plan carefully, and you must make it happen in one fell swoop, otherwise, if the matter of marriage negotiation falls into the ears of the fourth master, firstly, it will be difficult to negotiate, and secondly, you can think about it later It will be difficult to negotiate."

"Yeah." Li Tian nodded, "I'll take care of the affairs of Duke Yongguo's mansion first, and we need to find a time when he's not in the capital to settle the matter quickly."

"Is there anyone you're interested in?" Shui Qiuniang asked, Li Tian lowered his head, was silent for a while, and then replied in a low voice, "I don't know how long we can keep this matter secret, it's not good for ordinary people, I'm afraid they I can't stand it, when there will be another incident of divorce, the family background is decent, the people are not bad, and the other party is willing to marry and will not divorce, there are only two families."

"Well, Xu's family is the tallest, and Jiang's family is an insider." Shui Qiuniang looked at Li Tian and asked, "Which one do you think is better?"

"The Jiang family." Li Tian was a little listless: "Xu Sihai has a reckless temper. In the future, when he becomes an official, he must be brave and easy to get hurt. His official career must be full of ups and downs. Jiang Hong thinks twice before acting. Better than Xu Sihai. As for Princess Jiang." Li Tian lowered his head and turned the cup in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "I have to find a chance to meet Jiang Hong, Princess Jiang has to think about it."

"Fourth Master also told him about this?"

"It's better not to say, as long as I make a marriage, the fourth prince's thoughts can only be suppressed in my heart. If I make a marriage, he will have another idea, just to seek a wife. He is a person who wants to seek a big position. How can you bear the notoriety?" Li Tian looked at Shui Qiuniang and explained, and Shui Qiuniang nodded: "Since you don't talk about it now, it will rot in your heart in the future. Jiang Hongzhi is in an official career, and knowing this matter is very popular. , Alas, people's hearts should not think about it carefully, and they should not study it thoroughly, it is rare to be confused."

"Yeah." Li Tian also sighed along with You Youran, neither of them spoke anymore, they sat in silence and drank a cup of tea, Li Tian got up and said goodbye and went back.

In the afternoon, Li Tian was sleepless, just sat down and copied a few lines of scriptures, Yingluo lifted the curtain and came in with a smile and said, "Fifth Lady, Fourth Brother Cao is back." Li Tian hurriedly ordered to come in, put down the pen and hurried out, Cao The fourth daughter-in-law was in front, and Cao Si, who had a dark, thin face and a busy life, came in.

Cao Si entered the room, grinning, knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow, Li Tian hurriedly motioned to Cao Si's wife: "Help him up quickly, Brother Cao has worked hard."

"No hard work, no hard work." Cao Si kowtowed twice before standing up, untied the burden behind his back, and handed it to his daughter-in-law. Cao Si's daughter-in-law took the burden and entrusted it to Yingluo. Li Tian didn't look at the burden, just smiled and ordered Cao Sidao: "Since Brother Cao sit down and talk, Yingluo will order a bowl of tea." Yingluo carefully put the burden on the table, turned around and went out to order tea.

Cao Si was sitting respectfully and cautiously with one buttocks next to the chair, and before Li Tian could ask questions, he reported: "Go back to Fifth Lady, the younger one first went to Hangzhou Mansion to see my aunt, and my aunt cried a lot. In the next day, I sent Steward Zheng Da and the younger one to take a few tents and ran through the shops on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Road. The accounts in each shop were correct, and the detailed account was brought back by Steward Zheng Da. The general ledger was in the bag. The aunt asked the youngest to tell Wu Niangzi, one is about the shop, so don't worry about Wu Niangzi, with the aunt and uncle around, she will definitely not let Wu Niangzi suffer half of the loss, and the other is that the aunt said that the job of the uncle will be completed by the end of this year It has been five years, and my uncle has already submitted a letter requesting to be transferred to the six departments, so my aunt and my uncle will be able to return to the capital with their family, and my aunt asked Wu Niangzi to be wronged in the mansion for a year."
