Ye Hanliang paused slightly while drinking tea, put down the tea cup and said respectfully to Mrs. Ye, "My son heard that Princess Chen hosted a banquet for hundreds of families in the capital, and at the banquet she also raised funds for the Bianbei War."
Mrs. Ye nodded and said, "Now that Princess Chen is deeply favored by the Holy Emperor, you and your daughter have no feud at all. Go back and have a good chat with her. Furthermore, in order to please the Holy Emperor, you have also donated money to your mother."
Thousands of stones of grain, thirty thousand taels of gold."
"The mother did the right thing. When the son comes back, he will have someone prepare for it." After hearing Ye Hanliang's words, Mrs. Ye nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Since Mr. Xie passed away, there is no one around you who knows how cold it is and how warm it is.
, In addition, both Chang'er and Yu'er have reached the age of getting married. There is no matron in the family, so how can they find a good family. As a mother, I have asked you to think of several women, among which the eldest daughter of the Zhang family is
Yes, her family status is a bit low, but the girl looks good as a mother. If you are satisfied, the mother will send someone to Zhang's house to propose marriage."
Ye Hanliang was not very enthusiastic about marrying a wife, so he said to Mrs. Ye, "It all depends on the mother." Ye Hanliang, the eldest daughter of Zhang family, had an impression that she had previously married a young general in the army.
, later her husband died in battle, and the Zhang family could not bear the suffering of their daughter, so they took her back to the family and asked her to remarry. This remarriage was not uncommon in the Xuanyue Dynasty. A woman could marry again after her husband died or after she reconciled with her husband's family.
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Ye smiled with her face full of wrinkles, "Since you have no objection, then as a mother, let someone go and propose marriage." Then she thought for a while and said, "This is not the first time for the eldest daughter of the house.
When you get married, you don’t need to give too much as a bride price.”
"..."
Are you a little too anxious? After all, you haven't mentioned the marriage yet.
"It all depends on the mother." As for marriage, Ye Hanliang has some inherent "disabilities", and it doesn't matter who he marries. Besides, Zhang Guifei and Zhang Guifei are from the same family, and their official positions are not high, but they have some real power.
What's more, I can use this to climb up to Concubine Zhang, and then to the King of Jin, Song Hancheng.
Mrs. Ye smiled and ordered someone to go to Zhang's house to propose marriage. Seeing that Mrs. Ye was fine, Ye Hanliang got up and said goodbye and went back to his yard, only to find that his yard was deserted and he really needed a mistress.
Emperor Xuankang read the donation list sent by Song Hanxiu, and Long Yan was delighted, "Hahahaha, I didn't expect that Princess Chen solved my serious problem in just two scenes."
Song Hanxiu was wearing a black gold-woven brocade robe, with a black dragon and phoenix pattern belt tied around his waist. His black hair was tied up with only a white jade hairpin. He stood beside Emperor Xuankang and said with a smile, "This Princess Chen is with
Like the third brother, he never plays his cards according to common sense. His wisdom is not what ordinary women can have." Song Hanxiu looked at Emperor Xuankang's face with a pair of deep eyes, and then said, "Princess Chen outsmarts Prince Sarun, let's
The sight of him losing food for a hundred years is still vivid in his mind. If he were a man, he would be a good minister."
Emperor Xuankang nodded in agreement, looked at the dense list, and asked, "Would you like to decide who should be in charge of this donation?"
Song Hanxiu paused for a moment and then said, "I do have a candidate who is capable of both literary and military skills. He has a kind-hearted nature. He has been on the battlefield for many years, and he should be familiar with soldiers, horses, and food."
"who?"
"Dong Lingxin, Vice General Dong."
Sure enough, when Emperor Xuankang heard this name, he narrowed his eyes, stroked his gray beard, and said, "This is quite a talent, let's use him."
"Yes." Song Hanxiu said to Emperor Xuankang, bowing and clasping his fists, "I'll take my leave first."
Emperor Xuankang waved his hand and asked him to leave. As soon as Song Hanxiu exited, Emperor Xuankang couldn't help coughing. At the side, Eunuch Li hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Emperor Xuankang, patted his back and said with concern, "
Your Majesty, the dragon body is very important, do you need a slave to go to Xuan Yu Medical?"
After Emperor Xuankang recovered, he waved his hand to Eunuch Li, indicating that he didn't need it. He took a sip of tea and said calmly, "No need, I understand my body." After saying that, he picked up the pen on the table and started marking.
After the memorial was announced, Eunuch Li silently retreated.
"Eunuch Li."
A voice sounded from behind. Eunuch Li turned around and saw that it was Xia Die in the Yinqu Palace. She was one of the most respected people around Concubine Zhang. Everyone in the palace would call her Miss Xia when they saw her.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Xia?" Eunuch Li shook the fly whisk in his hand and said in a high voice.
?”
"Go to the imperial kitchen and replenish your health."
"That's a coincidence. Your Majesty is about to order your servant to go to the royal kitchen to bring Fritillaria stewed pears to the Holy One." Xia Die said with a faint smile, "Then there is no need to trouble Eunuch Li, I can just go."
Eunuch Li paused slightly and said with a smile, "The imperial concubine is still interested, so I'll trouble Miss Xia." Xia Die bowed slightly to Eunuch Li and walked towards the imperial dining room.
Eunuch Li looked at the direction where Xia Die disappeared, his eyes became somewhat thoughtful, he put the fly whisk on his left hand and turned back to Qianyuan Hall.
When Dong Lingxin received Song Hanxiu's oral instructions, he was slightly stunned and then said to his father-in-law, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince have anything else to say?"
"His Royal Highness said that Vice General Dong must quickly collect the grain, grass and money and send them to the treasury and the frontier." The father-in-law looked around and saw no one around, so he came closer and said to Dong Lingxin, "His Royal Highness said that the grain, grass and money must be collected safely.
If someone blocks the delivery, Vice General Dong can kill it first and then report it."
Dong Lingxin's face straightened up, he clasped his fists and said to the father-in-law, "Can you please send me a message for my father-in-law, saying that Ling Xin will definitely complete his mission!"
In the evening of the next day, Ye Fuxun ordered Qingruo and Qingyun to deliver the silver notes to Mrs. Su. In less than two hours, they came back, and Qingruo returned the silver notes to Ye Fuxun.
Ye Fuxun was slightly surprised, his clear eyes full of astonishment, and asked, "How did you get the money back?"
"Mrs. Su said that she couldn't be a woman like Mu Guiying or Hua Mulan who went into battle to kill the enemy, but she could also be a heroine among the common people. So she didn't accept the money, and she even asked her slave to bring a message to the princess——
Let the princess rest assured that within ten days, 10,000 shi of grain will definitely arrive at Bianbei without fail."
Ye Fuxun's butterfly-wing-like eyelids trembled slightly, covering up the indifference in those beautiful eyes. Her delicate lips, like rose petals, were slightly raised, "This Mrs. Su is really a smart person."
She then took off the bamboo-patterned jade bracelet on Bai Nenhao's wrist and handed it to Qingruo, saying, "Go and send a letter to the Su Mansion. Tell her that I have thanked Mrs. Su on behalf of the soldiers in the north. In addition, what happened to Mrs. Su?
Come to me with this bracelet, and I will promise her something within my ability."
Qingruo took the bracelet, bowed her head and stepped back.
"Qingying, go to Mingyue Pavilion and tell Mother Wang that from today on, all the girls in Mingyue Pavilion will use the rouge and gouache sold by the people in the city."
"yes."
The afternoon sun shines through the window on the beauty sitting on the wicker chair. The beauty is lying down, her eyes flowing like spring water, with ripples of light behind her. As soon as she entered the door, Grandma Zhou saw such a beautiful picture.
The little maid who was fanning a round fan saw Nanny Zhou coming in and was about to report it, but was stopped by Nanny Zhou softly. She walked over to the maid, took the fan, asked the maid to step back, and fanned Ye Fuxun herself.
After a while, Ye Fuxun slowly opened his eyes, with a hazy sleepiness, and saw the kind face of Aunt Zhou. He sat up and said, "Mommy, why are you fanning? The weather is so hot, you
What if the heat breaks out?”
"It doesn't matter."
The maid on the side took the fan from Nanny Zhou, and Nanny Zhou took the opportunity to sit at the table next to her and said with a smile, "I just saw that the princess was sleeping soundly, and I couldn't bear to disturb her. Ever since His Highness left, the princess has rarely slept so soundly.
In addition, the princess has been busy with food and grass matters recently, so she finally has a rest, so how can I disturb her."
Ye Fuxun's heart was warmed by what Aunt Zhou said. He pulled Aunt Zhou's pair of hands and said with a hint of vicissitude, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Auntie, it's great to have you."
Aunt Zhou patted Ye Fuxun's hand lovingly and smiled kindly, "A few days ago, the princess said she wanted to pick some people to surround Miss Li'er. I paid attention to it during this period and picked a few.
Your loyal and smart maid, would you like to have a look at her?" Since Ye Yili came to Prince Chen's Mansion, she rarely calls her Miss Ye Si, and instead calls her 'Miss Li'er'.
"It all depends on what Grandma says. I have the same vision as Grandma."
"Princess, Princess—" As soon as Ye Fuxun finished speaking, Qing Hua's voice came from outside the door, and then he saw her running in hurriedly, holding a letter in her hand.
"How unbecoming is it to yell and scream!" Aunt Zhou reprimanded with a hint of displeasure. She usually disliked maids shouting and screaming. When Qing Hua saw that Aunt Zhou was there, she hurriedly lowered her head.
"What's the matter?" Although Qing Hua, a girl, is not as steady and dignified as Qing Ruo Qingying, she has never been so impatient. As soon as Qing Hua heard Ye Fuxun ask her, she hurriedly handed over the envelope in her hand.
Full of joy, she said, "Princess, there is a letter from Bian Bei."
A glimmer of light flashed through those plain and light eyes. He eagerly took the envelope from Qing Hua's hand and couldn't wait to tear it open. What came into view immediately was the familiar, vigorous and powerful handwriting. The content of the letter was very simple.
, a total of eight words - everything is fine, Miss Qing, don’t miss it. The eight simple words made Ye Fuxun read it over and over several times. Aunt Zhou on the side couldn’t help but ask,
"Princess, what did your highness say?"
"It's nothing." Ye Fuxun put the envelope away, with some undercurrent of emotion hidden in his indifferent eyes, "He said everything is fine, don't miss it."
