Chapter 33 Uncle and nephew discuss two or three things in detail
Now that the matter has come to this, Lin Zhixiu no longer dwells on it, but asks about other things, "Uncle, are everything going well in your hands?"
An Ning looked around and Lin Zhixiu nodded.
An Ning said, "First of all, let's talk about going overseas. The materials you gave to my uncle were very detailed. I made a preliminary plan and told it to the prince. The prince was very interested and gave me a lot of support. Haha, he also wants to participate with money.
, it is private money... so things are going very smoothly. I have checked every link carefully, and it costs a lot of money. However, such a large amount of business is worth it. It takes less than a month.
"
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "I am also keeping this in mind. Don't worry, uncle, we will definitely make a lot of money."
An Ning was very willing to talk to her niece. "The official business also went very smoothly. The prince valued me, and things were done well. The few people under the prince have good intentions and are generous in their work. We get along very well together. I have to say
There are... problems, mainly two at the moment. One is the prince's affairs, which are never finished. It's really tiring. When you look back and see him, you will know that he is older and has been running around for many years, and now he has lost a lot of weight.
Often, before one thing is finished, another thing comes up. It's nothing. It's just that a few days ago, when doing things, there were always some abnormal phenomena, but I couldn't explain what was going on.
Later, the prince told me that someone was secretly investigating him. I don’t know who it was, but the only ones who could reach out were those few... The prince felt a little awkward and worried. Did he do too much?
, which makes people feel uneasy.”
Lin Zhixiu recalled: In the last life, Prince Qing made that mistake. In fact, it cannot be said that it was his fault. The matter itself was more complicated, and several factors combined to cause that disaster. The emperor may not have
I don’t know, but I refuse to forgive him. Even Prince Qing and his descendants have been banished. Is this the emperor trying to take the opportunity to deal with him, or is there someone else who is adding fuel to the fire?
I once thought that King Qing would be fine if he escaped the disaster. Now it seems that it is not that simple.
She thought for a while and said, "My uncle still needs to persuade the prince. He is getting older and should step down when the time is right."
An Ning said, "Your Majesty, he is actually a very good person. During this period of following your Majesty, I have seen everything he thinks and does. He is smart, dedicated, and capable. He is indeed thinking about the Emperor and the court."
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Uncle, even if the prince has three heads and six arms, he can't get things done. If he doesn't do it, someone else will do it. Uncle, think about it, if we didn't participate in the Shiyan incident, or if the prince didn't do it,
Pay attention. What will be the result?"
An Ning said, "Then once something happens, the consequences will be terrible."
Lin Zhixiu "Yes, it is probably a big disaster. Fertile fields were flooded, houses collapsed, how many people lost their lives, and countless livestock...the epidemic after the disaster...is so terrible. Although it is a natural disaster, we must find out what kind of disaster it is."
Someone will be responsible. I am afraid that the prince will be punished before he returns to the capital. By then, even if he has done so many things before and has made so many achievements, I am afraid that he will be pushed out to appease the public's anger."
The uncle was also depressed for a moment: "Alas..."
"Uncle, as the saying goes, too much is too little. When the time comes, step down and give up your seat to the prince!"
The uncle smiled bitterly, "Those county princes probably can't do much."
"If you can't do big things, why don't you just do small things? The main thing is to let some people pay attention to the prince. You see, there are several sons of the emperor now. The eldest son has a high status and was appointed as the prince. However, he is in poor health and has been married for many years.
He has no children. I also heard that the queen has not been out to see people for a few days and is in extremely poor health. The emperor is not young anymore, so the competition among the several adult princes will definitely be fierce. And Prince Qing has done so many things.
, with so many lines in his hand, whoever has any idea should not keep an eye on him. But Prince Qing is the emperor’s uncle and has a noble status. What is he doing with these things? Therefore, what should be returned must be returned. Several county princes cannot
If you do it, why don’t you stop doing it! The palace is not short of money!"
An Ning nodded, "Well, I'll go back and persuade him."
Lin Zhixiu: "You also need to be careful. We don't understand the royal affairs, and we can't get involved. Just use his body and the strange things happening around him as an excuse to persuade him. If there is more, we can't talk about it.
Furthermore, timing is also very important. People should not feel that he is arrogant because of his achievements, nor should people doubt his motives. Therefore, you must be particular about retreating. Choose one thing and do it halfway, regardless of any injuries or illnesses.
, can’t we let others take over? It’s not good to take care of it slowly in the future... Maybe others will feel relieved."
Uncle listened carefully and nodded silently.
However, Lin Zhixiu thought that it would be better to find a chance to let her uncle come out. Now that he was standing up, he should not be tied so tightly to Prince Qing's Mansion.
An Ning added, "One more thing... is my uncle's private matter. During these days, the princess... seems to be interested in marrying her maid to me."
"Ah?!" Lin Zhixiu was really surprised.
An Ning was a little embarrassed, "Princess, she always likes to inquire about the prince's affairs, likes to place people around the prince, and also likes to win over people who are important to the prince. Once, a colleague drank too much and complained to me. It probably meant that the princess always wanted to
She wanted to use what the prince had done to plan something. She also wanted to find out about the property money in the prince's hands. But she was worried about the prince and couldn't reach out openly, so she slowly gathered around this matter. It just so happened that I hadn't gotten married yet, and she
I guess...they are targeting me." An Ning smiled wryly.
Lin Zhixiu was secretly unhappy. Putting aside her maid, it was impossible for her uncle to have anything to do with the princess! Otherwise, would the prince still trust his uncle?
An Ning said softly, "Twice, when the prince was away, the princess found some excuse to let me into the backyard. It seemed that the princess always asked: Is my family settled well, and is the food, clothing, housing and transportation appropriate? But they are all... That's called Lu Qiao.
My maid... picked me up and dropped me off, and Lu Qiao was joking with me all the way, like that..."
The uncle's face turned red: He was full of affection and wanted to talk, but he didn't want to give up...
After hearing this, Lin Zhixiu sneered, "How dare a maid miss my uncle!"
The uncle blushed, "Xiu'er... I heard that that girl has some class. So, people think she is different."
"Uncle, what do you think?"
"I don't want to. I belong to the prince, and I have to stay far away from the princess. Especially regarding the shipping matter, the prince specifically asked me not to tell anyone. So, after I felt that the princess had this intention, I
I tried to avoid it as much as possible. As long as the prince was not around, I would find some way to run out. But..." An Ning frowned in annoyance, "That Lu Qiao also went to Jinyu Alley to deliver something. I was not at home at the time, and later I ordered
When I came to the door, except for the people sent by An Jianfu, no one else came to look for me but they all said I was not here."
Lin Zhixiu nodded solemnly, "Uncle, your marriage cannot be delayed any longer. When I see Aunt Liu, I will tell her. If not, just ask her! Let her come forward and find the official media. Then look at relatives and friends.
Is there a suitable home?"
An Ning said angrily, "Uncle is just telling you this. You are a girl and you are saying this. Be careful of your grandmother teaching you."
"I have a capable uncle, what should I be afraid of?" Lin Zhixiu smiled mischievously.
An Ning said, "Haha. I don't take much care of An Jianfu. But we still bump into each other every once in a while. He also shows me the accounts every quarter, and even pulls me to take inventory for half a year. If there are big things, he will also
He will come and tell me in advance. He is a cautious person who does not rush into anything. He is very practical in his work and does not know any random people."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Well, Uncle Fu and Xiu'er have exchanged letters. Xiu'er knows most of the things. Once settled, I will find a way to go out and meet him."
"Yeah. You've settled in. When we go to Jinyu Alley, we haven't tidied up the house yet. It's up to you to make the arrangements."
"Okay! Actually, everything will be fine if you have an aunt! How happy would we be if we had to clean up the yard just to marry our aunt?!"
An Ning blushed.
Lin Zhixiu laughed heartily.
An Ning asked, "Have they made things difficult for you since you came back?"
"Uncle, don't worry, Xiu'er can still handle it. They won't do anything to me at the moment. Grandpa will beat grandma. As long as she doesn't fight, others... will be fine."
"Well, look at your grandfather's appearance today... He's talking about that, he..." An Ning shook her head, "The shop in the capital, more than ten years of profit. Oh, he said to give it to your grandmother, seal her
I find it funny! However, from their expressions, it seems that they don’t know much about this income. Isn’t it in their hands?”
Lin Zhixiu: "Oh? Then... I'm really not sure." That's what Yuan holds in his hand.
Haha, this is interesting. Wanting her to come back would be like ripping out her heart?
Although it is a bit regretful that I have not gotten back the profits for so many years. But my uncle is right, take your time... I not only want to punish them, but I also want to live a good life myself, so that my parents can feel comforted in heaven.
Thinking about it this way, she became much more enlightened.
An Ning said, "Xiu'er, you should smile more like this. Everything is fine with us, and it will be even better in the future!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Yes, uncle, we will all be better off."
Today is New Year's Eve.
I just went out to buy ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner. There are too many people in the market. Although the prices have increased a lot, everyone has to celebrate the New Year! Moreover, this is the only one year...
I wish my friends health, happiness and a colorful life in the new year!
