farmer's daughter

Chapter 682
Chapter 680

Xue Jian was stunned for a moment, and cooperating with herself to rush back to catch up with a palace banquet!

Xuejian went to change clothes and came out to prepare for dinner, someone came from the palace.It seems that the eyeliner in the palace is still moving very fast.

Someone passed on the emperor's oral order to let Prince Rui enter the palace immediately.

Xue Jian said with a smile:

"Is this asking me to eat in the palace? I have all the dishes on the table. I have run all the way. I am tired and hungry. No, I have to eat the meal. Isn't there something to say, people depend on food for heaven?" ?”

After finishing speaking, Xuejian sat down again, and began to eat unhurriedly.Old man Mo had been secretly eating chicken legs and drinking.

Shi Chun also took Patriarch Lu to another courtyard.So the eunuch had no choice but to stand here and watch Xue Jian and Murong Xing get hungry after eating.Then go into the palace.

Knowing that Master was following behind, Xue Jian went into the palace under the escort of Murong Xing.

When they arrived at the palace, the little eunuch led him directly to the Imperial Study Room, where it seemed that everyone was waiting.

As soon as Xuejian entered, she saw the emperor, senior brother and uncle all turned to look at her.Xue Jian said with a smile:
"What are you doing looking at me like that? Xue has met the emperor, uncle, and elder brother."

Xuejian casually cupped her hands and nodded to one person, which was regarded as a courtesy.Then I found a chair and sat down very consciously, and hiccupped before saying:

"Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? I just got home, so you can't let me eat enough? I came to the capital city with food and sleep along the way, but I managed to have a hot meal."

Lian Quchen looked at the little junior sister with a funny face and said:

"Are you full now?"

Xue Jian nodded and said:
"Eat well, let's talk."

Liang Sheng hummed more and said:

"You have finished eating, we haven't eaten yet, we are waiting for you to come and eat together!"

Xue Jian stood up, looked at the three and said:

"Ah! I'm so sorry! This New Year's day made you wait for me hungry, but you can eat some pastries first, I will send you silver, no, I will send you gold. Don't you It will fill you up."

Then the emperor opened his mouth and said:

"You came to the capital in a hurry, and you didn't send a letter first. You have to pay attention to safety on the way. You came to send us gold. I heard that you came back with a few people. Where did you get the gold!"

"Forty million taels of gold! Do you want it?"

Xue Jian stretched out four fingers, and said to the three people.

The three of them stood up in shock, looked at Xue Jian and said:
"what did you say?"

"Forty thousand taels?"

"really?"

Xue Jian nodded and said:
"Really, everyone brought them. Forty million taels of gold, and I said, I will lead this line, and give me 1 taels. So for the 1 taels, I will run to catch you New Year's Palace Banquet."

Liang Shengyue patted the table and said:
"Lu Family?"

Xue Jian raised her thumbs up and praised:
"You're still smart! It was the Lu family who found me."

The emperor looked at Xue Jian and said:
"why?"

Snow said:
"I didn't dare to look for you, because I was afraid that you would take money and kill someone. You wanted me to save their family's life."

Xuejian said again:

"Your Majesty, I agreed. This family will belong to me in the future. They handed over forty million taels of gold, which is 1% of his family's property, and returned me 1 taels. This [-] taels is just settled. My urgent need. And this, this is their token of taking Haiyan. With this, it is equivalent to giving the road sign of Haiyan Road to the court. Handing over this, I also feel that I have seen his sincerity. Moreover, I happened to This family needs to be used! Therefore, I should protect them. Your Majesty, can they be entrusted to me?"

The emperor was still playing with the token and didn't speak, but Liang Shengyue and Lian Quchen who were on the side spoke at the same time.

"Cher!"

It seems that both of them are against her decision.Because the tone of the two of them was not very good, half of their faces were darkened.

The reason for Liang Shengyue and Lian Quchen's black face is the same, that is, Xue Jian has exceeded his authority!How could Xue Jian decide this kind of thing?This is a big deal!

Xue Jian looked at the two of them and said:
"Do you think I promised too soon?"

It's really hard for the two of you to say what you see in front of the emperor.The two glanced at each other, and both looked at Xue Jian with warning eyes.

Xue Jian shook his head and said:
"Actually, what I just told you is what he said when he saw me for the first time. He handed over the salt road, he handed over his property, and his whole family withdrew from the sea to the mainland."

"Later, we said that it was too late for him to do this. Then, he became cruel and said that it would be fine to hand it all over, and the whole family followed me."

Xue Jian turned around and said:
"Your Majesty, what can you do? I agree. Because I need someone like him very much. It is a bold choice for this person to make such a decision at this time. Besides, Yan There are more than one family in business. If the emperor appeases one family and beats the other, that would be good. It is called Enwei and uses it together. If you beat both of them blindly, it is not good. Two appeasements are not good. The emperor sees what I said, right?"

What Liang Shengyue wanted to say, the emperor stretched out his hand to block the way:

"Xue'er, you're doing the right thing! Could it be that he did this because Second Young Master Lu found out that you were doing salt work?"

Xue Jian said with a smile:

"No, Second Master Lu still doesn't know how Yan does it. He paints at our house every day. He knows about the court's actions."

The emperor was taken aback and said:

"A traitor among us?"

Snow said:
"I don't know about that. Anyway, that's what he said. If you want to know more details, you can just ask him. I brought that Lu family leader to the capital."

The emperor thought about it:
"Okay! There is a palace banquet tonight, so it's inconvenient to enter the palace today. Tomorrow we have to worship the ancestors. You bring people into the palace the day after tomorrow. I'll ask you carefully."

Did the emperor agree to Xue Jian's plan?Want to protect the Lu family?Then the Xu family is over. In this way, the emperor took the salt and money from Lu and Xu's family.If I knew it was so easy, I should have done it long ago.It's just that no one seemed to be able to separate the Xu and Lu families before.If the trust between the two had been less notorious, there would have been less suspicion.Maybe the court really can't get this piece!
Unexpectedly, the matter of Yandao was so easy, Xue Jian sighed:

"If I had known this was the case, I would not have made salt."

The other three people in the room didn't speak, it's not easy to talk about it, it seems that it's normal for Xuejian to do whatever she wants.Back then, who in the entire dynasty knew they would use that water to make salt?
In the afternoon, Xuejian didn't want to participate in their political chat, so she went to the harem to find Princess Yu.Now that Princess Yu is married to Murong Xing, this makes the Murong family very happy, because if the Murong family has a princess daughter-in-law, their status will increase with the tide!It is also the kind of wind that walks in Beijing.

Princess Yu embroidered a few patterns taught by Xue Jian in her own palace.Her dowry clothes were all packed by Xuejian.It is said that there is an embroidery team to help.
