Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this and didn't care.
Unless he is a king, who is willing to spend money to support other people's people?
There are many rich people in Silla, which is rich in pearls. In addition, the north of Liaodong is also considered Silla and is rich in minerals. However, the monarch alone may not have much money.
"Okay, let's get over it as we said. We are all a family, and we can get angry even if we talk about snow."
"It's cold in the north and it's normal to see snow all year round, but it's much better in the south."
"But snow in June is not normal even in the north."
Li Xiuzhu paused, thoughtfully.
"Could it be that Little Glacier is coming?"
"If so, it seems like we need to stockpile food."
Little Glacier? Gathering grain?
Nothing big will happen, right?
Fu Yuehua's face turned serious for a moment.
Li Xiuzhu glanced at Fu Yuehua inadvertently and immediately had a new idea.
"Even if it's a small glacier, it's not a big problem, as long as you prepare in advance."
Li Xiuzhu didn't dare to think too much, because in addition to the small glacier, there was also the big glacier. He didn't know when the last big ice age in this world was, but it shouldn't be so unlucky.
Fu Yuehua became even more worried after hearing this. Just as Li Xiuzhu knew that she could eavesdrop, she also knew that Li Xiuzhu knew that she could eavesdrop on his thoughts.
So could what the husband is saying now be to comfort her?
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly walked over.
Su Xiaoxiao's behavior immediately attracted a lot of attention from interested people.
After all, Su Xiaoxiao is a member of the Red Sleeve Garden and has many suitors.
Li Liuli looked at Su Xiaoxiao warily but said nothing, as if he wanted to read something in Su Xiaoxiao's novel.
Li Xiuzhu looked at Su Xiaoxiao coming over and asked, "Little girl, what is this?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin said that the Marquis has been busy recently and asked me to propose a toast to the Marquis."
"Although there will be no poetry meeting these two days, the New Year is approaching and there are many good places to go."
"His Royal Highness Prince Jin asked Xiaoxiao to take the Marquis around."
"Master Hou, let's see when you are free."
Su Xiaoxiao asked when you are free, not if you want to go...
This was arranged for him.
Li Xiuzhu was silent for a moment, then thought about it and said, "How about the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month?"
"Li Chengyu probably wants to win over me. I have been to the Prince's Mansion. If he doesn't respond, he will probably think that I am the Prince's person."
"It seems that we can only accept it first and then use it as a warning."
Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She was really worried that Li Xiuzhu refused and would not be able to complete the prince's instructions.
"Okay, on the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaoxiao will be waiting for you at the gate of the Hou Mansion."
"Um."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't stay long, poured the wine, had a drink with Li Xiuzhu and left, which made her top brother breathe a sigh of relief.
Well, from the second to the tenth list, there are many so-called talents here who came here for Su Xiaoxiao. Although not all of them have written poems, there are quite a few of them.
When Su Xiaoxiao left, Li Liuli couldn't help but frown.
"Sir, the struggle for imperial power is very dangerous. We'd better not get involved."
"And the prince is my brother, husband, you..."
Li Xiuzhu nodded and said softly: "Don't worry, I know how to choose."
"I just want not to get involved. Su Xiaoxiao still has to see him, otherwise your third brother will probably count us in."
Speaking of this, Li Xiuzhu suddenly paused, then looked at Li Liuli and asked, "I didn't realize that my Liuli was so smart. When did you realize that?"
Li Liuli pursed his lips and said, "I just realized it, but I didn't expect my third brother to hide it so deeply."
Li Liuli's eyes were full of ridicule and disdain when he spoke, and he didn't know why.
Li Biyao smiled after hearing the conversation between the two and asked Li Liuli, "Is it because Su Xiaoxiao came here?"
Hearing this, Li Liuli immediately mocked with even more disdain: "Yeah, look at Su Xiaoxiao's worthless look. It's obvious that he's giving it away for free."
"When I mentioned before that my third brother had built a brothel for Su Xiaoxiao, my husband frowned slightly and realized that I might be trying to keep things simple."
"Now that I think about it, isn't it? If my third brother really likes Su Xiaoxiao, he can raise her in another house. Even if she is the daughter of a criminal, it is not difficult to get her out quietly."
"Then why did you put it in a brothel? Now you act like you want to give it to your husband for free."
"It seems that my third brother is concerned about my brother's position as the prince."
"Speaking of which, this Red Sleeve Tower was built after my brother's male favorite was cut in half. It seems that incident gave him hope."
My dear, is this the royal family? Taking care of every step and pricking every opportunity?
In an instant, except for Li Xiuzhu, the concubines nearby were all numb.
After all, people who come from the border have never thought about these intrigues.
The poetry meeting has basically ended here. After dinner, it is already dark.
This is not because it is the time of day, but because the snow is getting heavier and the sky is getting darker.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the road is slippery because of the snow. Please drive the carriage slowly. Pay attention to safety."
After seeing off the last group of people, Su Xiaoxiao did not return to Hongxiu Garden, but stayed.
"Everyone is gone? What do you think about Li Xiuzhu? Could he be used by me?"
Su Xiaoxiao shook his head when he heard this and said, "I don't understand Li Xiuzhu very well. The only thing I can understand is that he is quite lecherous. This can be seen from the number of his wives."
"By the way, he must be very good to his wife. I guess he is also a sentimental person."
Li Chengyu knocked on the armrest unconsciously, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "How did you see it?"
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, he seemed to think of Li Xiuzhu's wives. After a moment of silence, he replied: "His wives all smile very sweetly. They are smiles from the heart and happy smiles."
"In addition, their words and deeds are very relaxed. Only when they are pampered to the extreme can they be so indulgent."
After hearing this, Li Chengyu thought for a while and continued: "You mean Li Xiuzhu is the prince's wife now? After all, the prince's sister is his wife."
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and shook his head.
"I can't guarantee that. Judging from past information, Li Xiuzhu is a bit lazy and the kind of person who can only be pushed away."
"Then do you think he will help me if you become his woman?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while and shook his head.
"I don't think so. At most, the two will not help each other."
"And as you know, Your Highness, I only have His Highness Prince Jin in my heart. Please take back your life."
Hearing this, Li Chengyu fell silent again. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Let's win over him first. At least let him not help each other."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly darkened, as if they had lost their light.
Li Chengyu seemed to know that he should give the other party some hope, so he added: "I know your thoughts. When I ascend the throne, I will satisfy you and make you my woman."
"Xiaoxiao, I have you in my heart."
Fortunately, Li Xiuzhu was not here, otherwise I would have had to complain a few words.
