The Beautiful Land

After a long while, Xi Fuwei returned to her room, thoughtfully: "What Wen Xianyun said to her father in the study is similar to what he said to me? Just tell your father, the owner of the Wen family and Mrs. Wen Jia Disagree, one pity, one objection?"

She was originally very convinced that the Wen family's city government was deep and would not let the zongzi marry a girl from a wrong family, so she was suspicious and wary of Wen family's actions during this period.

However, Wen Xianyun has only visited the house twice. Not only Xi Zongwang has been bitterly persuading her not to worry about the family at this time, and focus on her life-long events... Obviously the purpose of her daughter's attempt to dissolve the marriage contract with Wen's family is considered as fear of going out of the cabinet. After that, only the old, the young and the little ones were left unattended in the Xi's family, and only then did they try to speak suspicion about the family in front of him.

Even Xi Fuwei herself was a little bit confused.

She was about ten years old when she married Wen Xianyun. She didn't know the Wen family very well at the time. After hearing the words from her father and brother, the most important thing was that Wen Xianyun had a very sincere attitude at the time. If the Xi family refused, she would almost be rejected. The degree to which Dongchang Mansion pierced the backbone.

So he agreed ignorantly.

Later, I grew up a little bit. I heard that Wen Xianyun was very filial and obedient to his parents. He was extremely patient. He was a famous filial son in Dongchang Mansion.

If this is the case, other girls might think that they have met a good character, but Xi Fuwei Xu has been motherless since childhood. She has shared worries for Xi Zongwang at a young age. She is used to being the master of the house, and she instinctively thinks more about it.

Regarding Wen Xianyun's pure filial temperament, what she thinks is that this person listens to her parents in everything, what is her fiancee?

At this moment, my mind turned around a few times, so I ordered someone to call the next person and asked: "Is the person who asked you to check that day, have you checked it out?"

Hearing this, the servant was ashamed, and he paused for a while before he cautiously said: "The little one went out to stay with the person that day. I don’t know why. At first it was okay, but after entering the city, I couldn’t find one if I didn’t care. Arrived!"

Fearing that she would blame, he hurriedly said, "The little one has been looking for him everywhere these days! Dongchang Mansion is so big, the little one will definitely meet him again! Then he will definitely not be lost!"

Xi Fuwei's face sank like water, and said, "Why didn't you come back to report if you lost it?! If I asked, would you not want to say it?!"

She didn't bother to look at this person begging for mercy, and asked them to drag them down to the rules. She was very annoyed: just wanting to confirm whether the Wen family is good or evil to the Xi family. The clue to the door was broken!

After biting her lip for a while, Xi Fuwei was struggling, but at this time someone came to report that Xi was ill!

The Xi family originally had a weak heir. After Xi Fucui went away, Xi Jiao was the only bone and blood he had left. If there were three longs and two shorts, the Xi family said it would have no future!

Xi Fuwei naturally did not dare to neglect such a big matter!

Immediately rushed over to check the situation, and called for a doctor.

She went to the nephew after seeing the illness and fed the medicine, watching the six-year-old child fall asleep in her arms, leaving Xi Lei to wait, she took the lead and retreated to the outside lightly, and sternly asked the people. How did you serve Xi Jiao? !

Because Xi Fucui’s funeral has just passed, although Xi Jiao still cannot understand what it means to him to lose his father, especially a literary father like Xi Fucui, as an only child, even if he is young, he is indispensable. Keep the spirit.

Speaking of it, Xi Zongwang is just such a grandson now, and he doesn't dare to take risks. Otherwise, according to the rules, Xi Jiao will not even be able to live in the house at this time, so he has to go to the cemetery.

Xi Zongwang and Xi Fuwei both felt exhausted during this torment, let alone Xi Jiao.

So Xi Fuwei thought at first that his nephew would get sick because of overwork, and she couldn't help but blame herself for neglecting him.

Who knows that after a little bit of inquiries, he found that Xi Jiao was sick this time, and it was caused by the nursing mother's insensitivity!

Originally, she was in a very bad mood these days. Hearing the words, she was half dead. She directly ordered the nursing mother to be beaten to death with a stick, and reported a sudden illness and death to the outside world!

Although this hand calmed down the servants, Xi Fuwei didn't trust the trembling servants who showed up in front of her. She personally took care of Xi Jiao in front of her bed, and did not forget to set the rules for them. .

Having been so busy for more than half a month, Xi Jiao is almost all right.

Xi Fuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then noticed that it seemed that he hadn't seen his father Xi Zongwang for a few days?

She was strange in her heart. She called the steward to ask, but was told that Xi Zongwang was busy with business these past two days.

"What kind of business is it?" Xi Fuwei asked casually after hearing this.

The next person said: "I heard from the people in front of the master that he had bought some shops."

"Some shops?" Xi Fuwei frowned, and said, "There are all farm shops at home, why would I need to buy some shops?"

She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find out anything after asking the next person, so she ordered, "Tell me when Daddy comes back."

Half a day later, Xi Zongwang came back from outside, and his servants rushed to report Xi Fuwei.

Xi Fuwei then went to his yard and asked, "Daddy, I heard that you recently bought some shops?"

"Weir, my father is about to tell you this." Xi Zongwang's eyebrows were rarely happy, and Fang lowered his voice after motioning for the left and right to retreat, "I got a top secret news for my father. I bought most of the shops in the main street of Luofengpo! Looking back, these will all make you a dowry, so even without your brother, Mrs. Wenjia will not dare to look down on you!"

"Luofengpo?" Xi Fuwei was startled and said, "Isn't that a transit place on the post road? The shops on the main street are eight out of ten. Nine of them belong to Wenjia! How could it be possible for you to buy more than half of such an important place? Shop?!"

There was some unclear hunch in her heart, "Daddy, is this business done? Shall we ask again? I always think something is wrong?"

"This is for a reason. Didn't Xian Yun not rush over in time to mourn your brother?" Xi Zongwang mentioned Xi Fucui, his eyes darkened, and said, "At that time, it was because there was a guest from the south who came here and was heard. The guy was offended! It is said that the guest came so great that Xian Yun couldn't help but greet him in person. Originally, the matter had been resolved, but the guest was probably not very energetic. When passing by Luofengpo, he listened to others. Speaking of a traffic hub, most of the industries are owned by Wenjia, so he sneered and said, “A good Wenjia”. After Wenjia knew about it, he didn’t want to make trouble, so he sold some of the shops... No, if the fertilizer does not flow into the field of outsiders, I told my father the news and let him take it down?"

Xi Fuwei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Daddy, is this the top-secret news you said?"

She felt very helpless: Even if the Wen family was afraid of that nobleman, they did not dare to continue to take the property of Luofengpo in the hands of the Wen family. This kind of long-standing family has more in-laws!

I am just the prospective daughter-in-law of their family, and she has not been through the door, but Xi Fucui, the elder brother whom the Wen family valued, has already passed away!

In this situation, Wen Xianyun's attitude was enough for her to be suspicious, how could it be possible to give such a piece of fat to Xi Zongwang? !

To put it bluntly, even though Xi Fucui is dead, the Xi Jiao still has this male heir.

According to the habit at this time, the Xi family’s wealth must be given to Xi Jiao for the bulk, not Xi Fuwei...Wen’s family, even if it is kind, is so kind to the point of taking care of the Xi family? Xi Jiao is the illegitimate son of Wen's family, and he may not receive this treatment, right?

The suspicion that had already gone down a bit suddenly surfaced again.

"Of course not anymore!" Xi Zongwang shook his head when he heard the words, then looked outside mysteriously, and then whispered, "Your cousin told me this news! You know, your cousin had been working in the mansion before. news-clever!"

"What did cousin tell you?" Xi Fuwei asked, narrowing her eyes.

Back then, Xi's family was affected by the Lanyu case, and the clans were scattered. There were not many people who settled in Dongchang Mansion, but only three or five families.

To this day, the Communist Party of China has two members: one is Xi Zongwang, and the other is Xi Fuwei's cousin Xi Xing.

Said it was a cousin, in fact, the two bloodlines were already very distant, and they had already been out of five servers.

It's just that they belong to the family, so they take care of each other.

The task that Xi Xing did in the Yamen was what Xi Fucui helped him seek when he was alive.

For this reason, Xi Xing is very grateful to Xi Zongwang's line, and every Chinese New Year, he will bring four-color pastries to visit. Usually when the time comes down, he will also take the initiative to come over and ask for warmth. Xi Zongwang pityed that his parents had gone early and had no siblings. He always regarded him as a half son, and the two had always been close.

However, Xi Xing’s status in the yamen is not high. This is mainly because he was poor since he was a child. He didn’t know a few words, and he didn’t learn martial arts. He was not particularly clever. People look at Xi Fucui's face. Therefore, although some news had been passed to Xi Zongwang before, those were actually revealed to Xi Fucui through him deliberately, but it wasn't that he himself would inquire.

At this moment, I heard that he had told Xi Zongwang top-secret news, Xi Fuwei was surprised: "What did he inquire about?"

"The emperor intends to move the capital to Beiping!" Xi Zongwang whispered, "As a result, the north will inevitably become more prosperous, and the prosperity of Luofengpo is far from what it is today!"

Xi Fuwei changed her voice when she heard this, and said, "Such a big thing...Where does my cousin have the ability to inquire? Back then, if it weren't for his brother, he couldn't even enter the office. Now his brother is gone, he should thank God if he is not driven out. How can I still know such an important secret?!"

Today, the son Yongle, is the fourth son of the founding emperor Taizu.

His throne was actually not orthodox. It was his uncle who seized the throne of his nephew. He went all the way from Beiping to the south to break the Yingtian Mansion, which caused the Emperor Taizu to register after the eldest son Yiwen, the emperor Zhu Yunxuan, namely Jianwen. The emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and this is what he wished to enthroned.

In the first year of Yongle, Li Zhigang and others from the Ministry of Rites stated that the "Land of Longxing" Beiping should be established as the accompanying capital. The emperor gladly agreed to change Peiping to "Shuntian Mansion" and called "Xing Zai" and sent to the refugees everywhere. , Wealthy families in Jiangnan and businessmen from Shanxi went to enrich the population.

In four years, the palace and city walls were built in Shuntian Mansion based on Yingtian Mansion's imperial palace.

When things came to this, Shuntian Mansion was only the accompanying capital, just like Fengyang, who was ordered to accompany the capital by Emperor Taizu. Despite all the special treatments, it was not the real imperial capital.

However, at the beginning of this year, Emperor Yongle personally ordered people to build the Changling Mausoleum in Changping near Shuntian Mansion during the Northern Expedition. This move was believed by the ruling and the opposition to reveal the intention to move the capital [Note].

It's just that Daming Kingdom was determined by His Majesty Taizu, and it has been decades since.

Yingtianfu Zuojin is accustomed to the life at the feet of the emperor, and moving the capital will definitely be opposed by them and a considerable number of people in the court.

So even if the emperor has this meaning, it is still unclear whether it can be achieved.

Of course it is now the end of the year, and perhaps this has already come to fruition in the court.

But Dongchang Mansion was not close to Yingtian Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, yet no wind was heard.

Xi Xing has no outstanding talents, and he is not even exquisite. When Xi Fucui was still there, he didn't have any famous names. What's more, Xi Fucui is no longer there now?

Is there really a word or phrase that he can know?

So Xi Fuwei felt full of doubts: "He was probably deceived, right?!"

"How could he tell us if he didn't figure out such a big thing?" Xi Zongwang shook his head, "What's more, we are here as a thoroughfare. If the emperor wants to move the capital, he must fight us here, so the court has not announced it yet. It's not surprising to inform the Yamen of Dongchang Mansion first."

"That's the problem." Xi Fuwei frowned. "The Wenjia family is the leading clan in Dongchang Mansion. How close is it to the government that we can compare? If my cousin knew the news, Wenjia would not Clearly? If the shops in Luofengpo would really rise, why even if the Wen family was afraid of the so-called distinguished guest, why would they sell it to our family? There are so few relatives in the Wen family that no one else can take care of us except us. Are there any traces of love and hatred in this world, father, do you believe there is anything in our family that deserves to be treated so diligently by the Wenjia?"

Xi Zongwang was startled, his face was a little pale, and said, "Are you thinking too much? This... there can be no problem with this matter!"

"...Just a few shops, nothing." Xi Fuwei said that she still thinks too much? This is obviously a problem!

But looking at his father at a loss, he sighed secretly and comforted, "Anyway, Luofengpo has no shortage of merchants traveling from the north to the south. Even if there is no such thing as moving the capital, it won't hurt to buy it!"

After thinking about it, she asked again, "How many shops did you buy this time and how much did you spend?"

"Our family's money is now on Luofengpo!" Xi Zongwang blurted out and made Xi Fuwei dumbfounded: "Daddy, what did you say?!"

Seeing his daughter’s shock, Xi Zongwang felt a guilty conscience for no reason. Don’t settle for a while, and then said: “It’s said that Luofengpo’s shop enters Doujin every day and night, and the price is naturally not low... and I want to buy. Marrying you in the lower half of the street, I have a vigor to say it, Wen Jia dare not look down on you! Therefore, other properties have been sold...Even the house where we live has pledged a sum of money..."

Seeing his daughter's increasingly ugly face, his voice became lower and lower, "... Jiao'er is a male heir, and he can imitate Cui'er in the future and seek a future through imperial examination. If he is not the material for reading, our current population is very thin, and giving him too much property would be coveted. So... for the sake of my father, it’s better to give you the most of the family property to dowry... so that you can be tough in your natal family, and it will be more convenient to take care of your children..."

He was so heart-stirring for his daughter, what can Xi Fuwei say, can only comfort him: "Daddy, don't worry, no matter what the future is, I will never leave you and Jiao'er! Luo Fengpo comes from here. Prosperous, any store is a cash cow, where is it necessary to marry me half a street? As for the money...if you spend it, spend it, anyway, with so many stores, you can earn it back soon!"

However, the facts are cruel after all: a few days later, there was news from Yingtianfu that Emperor Yongle was determined to move the capital!

The point is that the edict dredged will pass the river for water transportation! ! !

Xi Jia learned the news like a bolt from the blue!
