Chu Nanzhi looked at Li Ce. Zhou and his wife looked worried, but they still made up their minds to scold him: "Now that you are in the Duwei Mansion, you should serve him well."
"Sister-in-law me"
Li Ce was in great pain, and Zhou was even more confused, not knowing what his brother and sister-in-law meant by these words.
The quadruplets had not seen Li Ce for a long time. When their mother scolded their uncle, who was the closest to them in the past, they all felt distressed and excused him: "Mom, Uncle Li is worried about his father and wants to come and see him."
Look at daddy."
"Ahem."
As soon as the little guys finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao's coughing sound came from the inner room.
"Why don't you go in and take care of your father?"
Chu Nanzhi glared, and under the threat, everyone was too frightened to speak anymore, and followed Sang Qi into the inner room.
"Sister Zhou, let's go to the banquet too."
Chu Nanzhi called Tang Weiming in and ordered him to personally escort the Zhou family to the side hall to have a banquet with the female family members.
When only Li Ce was left in the inner hall, Chu Nanzhi explained in a low voice: "Your brother is fine, Sanlang, don't worry, he will definitely serve well in the Duwei Mansion from now on."
"yes."
Li Cecheng stood up in fear, and Chu Nanzhi suddenly stopped him: "Since you are here, please do one more thing for me. A while ago, I asked you to secretly summon the dead soldiers, and this time send more people to Changning.
The county must protect Zheng Huan's family and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Why are you still protecting this person, sister-in-law?"
Li Ce asked in confusion.
The guy just now was so arrogant and domineering that I wanted to kill him with a knife.
"This will become clear to you in the future."
Chu Nanzhi warned again: "In short, no matter what, you must completely capture the Duwei Mansion for your brother this time."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't let you down."
After Li Ce finished answering, he hurried out of Chunhua Residence.
When they arrived at the main hall, Tang Ru was drinking and chatting with his colleagues, celebrating the joy of taking over the power today. Seeing that Li Ce was late, he invited him to sit next to him and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Why did the deputy governor sit down so late?
"
Li Ce did not shy away from mincing words and said bluntly: "The general has worked with King Pingning for many years. Although we have different political views with him now, we still have a comradeship. When I learned that he was ill, I went to visit him."
"Well, Brother Li is really a cheerful and kind person, and I admire him."
Tang Ru liked such loyal people the most, and wanted to draw him under his command. During these days, he was very respectful to him, and he must have realized that he was the future master of Pingning Prefecture. At this time, he would not
Forgot to ask:
"Tomorrow I will lead the Tang family's army to Changning County to help Han Prefect put down the rebellion. The Duwei Mansion will have to rely on Brother Li."
"The Governor's words are serious."
Li Ce humbly replied: "The Tang army led by the Governor is invincible. They are just a few troublemakers. There is no need for the Governor to go there in person."
After a pause, he added: "The Governor is now the hope of the whole state and is responsible for the safety of the whole state. Why not let the general lead a light horse to Changning County overnight. The general will definitely do his best to quell the rebellion."
"Hey, it can't be done."
Tang Ru quickly waved his hand: "Sun Changshi is in charge of Pingning Prefecture's government affairs. The navy has just been integrated and needs Brother Li to train strictly. You and His Highness have a brotherly relationship. How can I let you go to danger?"
Tang Ru was eager to achieve great results, so he did not want to hand over the elite of his Tang family army to him.
Furthermore, there are obviously some fishy ways in each county, and he must take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the rebellion to wipe out the troubles of these subordinate officials and win their hearts and minds.
After caring deeply, Tang Ru asked his younger brother Tang Li to come forward and patiently warned: "Shi Tangli, the captain of the Duwei Palace, is a talented man with both civil and military skills in our Tang clan. After I leave, Brother Li will only
All you have to do is help him take care of the captain's mansion, and I will definitely put down the rebellion within ten days and return in triumph."
"Okay, I wish the Governor a speedy victory."
Li Ce responded with a smile, and secretly glanced at Chang Lao and Nie Lao who were drinking silently with their heads down in the palace. Looking at each of them with eyes full of contempt, he felt particularly unhappy.
In the side hall, Lin Jinqian was so proud of the spring breeze that she didn't care about Ji Huazhen and Cui. She sat upright and said smugly: "I shouldn't be in this position today. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law Wang's body is not up to par.
I was exhausted just after the sealing ceremony, so I had to reluctantly host this feast for her. Don't be rigid, you must eat and drink well."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw little Zhou coming in from outside the palace glumly, with tears in his eyes.
She knew that the prince-in-law wanted to win over Li Ce, so she hurriedly greeted him and called out with a smile: "Oh, isn't this the sister of the Zhou family? Why did you take the seat so late? Please follow me and take the seat quickly."
Little Zhou bowed his hands to Lin Jinqian anxiously. Although she felt aggrieved, she immediately went to sit next to Liu Yun.
"I don't know how to praise."
Lin Jinqian cursed secretly, knowing that this woman must have been ridiculed in front of Chu Nanzhi's jealous wife, and was feeling aggrieved, so she hurriedly said to please her:
"My sister-in-law, the princess, is pregnant now, and she may have a bad temper. I heard that the sister of the Zhou family is only doing chores as a cook at Yuanlai Restaurant. It is really a pity that a gentle and virtuous person like my sister should come here.
Let me be promoted to a restaurant, my restaurant is in need of a capable shopkeeper like my sister."
"Your Highness, the princess, is really good at poaching people at the princess's wedding banquet. This is the first time in my life that I have seen this."
Ji Huazhen sneered and looked straight at the past, her eyes full of anger.
"Ahem, Sister-in-law Wang really doesn't have the energy to take care of these things right now. We are all part of the same family, so why should we be so outspoken?"
Lin Jinqian sighed proudly: "Fortunately, our Princess Yuanxi will enter the palace soon. Although she is a bit young and immature, she can still share the burden for Sister Wang."
When mentioning this matter, Cai Lian, who had been neglected for a long time, quickly put down the dishes in her hands and whispered to Lin Jinqian: "I will definitely take care of the Changliu courtyard and wait for the Princess to enter the palace."
Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Lin Jinqian's eyes paused slightly, he roughly remembered this person, and asked uncertainly: "Is my sister Cai Wei or Cai Lian?"
"The slave picking lotus used to serve in front of the Empress Dowager."
Cai Lian felt very happy when she saw that the princess was willing to talk to her.
"Oh, it turns out to be Sister Cai Lian."
Lin Jinqian couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart, but she finally resisted the ridicule and said nicely: "I heard that you and Caiwei were assigned by the Empress Dowager to serve my brother Wang. How could you do such chores? It's really outrageous.
, when Yuan Xi comes in, you can stay in front of her and wait on her."
After saying that, she also deliberately looked at Hai Da'a who came to serve the dinner in front of her, and said with a smile: "I want to ask for a caring person for my sister-in-law, will Mr. Hai not mind?"
"Of course not."
Hai Da Api replied with a smile: "The princess is very noble, and I am still thinking about who should serve her. Since it was appointed by Her Highness the Princess, I will let the sisters stay in Changchun tomorrow."
Stay in the hospital.”
"Very good, very good."
Lin Jinqian was even more satisfied.
The other female relatives couldn't stand the princess showing off her power, so they left the meeting with excuses early.
Lin Jinqian guessed that Mrs. Zhou was in charge of the recipe book of Yuanlai Restaurant, and wanted to win her over, leaving her behind and insisting that she be the shopkeeper of her own restaurant. Mrs. Zhou didn't like Lin Jinqian and Tang Yuanxi's aunt, but she didn't like her at the moment.
She knew why her brother and sister-in-law alienated her from Li Ce, but her family relied on her brother and sister-in-law for support, and she was unwilling to betray her brother and sister-in-law.
Since her brother and sister-in-law didn't want to see her, she simply refused and said: "Thank you princess for your kindness. The slave family is just a family of ignorant women. Now that the whole family has moved into the city, the slave family really doesn't have the energy to travel outside and has already planned to resign.
Yuan Lai went home to take care of the old man and young son because of business at the restaurant, and I hope the princess will forgive me."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Jinxiao responded with a stiff smile and had no choice but to let her go.
