Although Xun Ding knew something about the Gongxi clan, he would still be stunned by the strange settings of this clan from time to time.
"When you say this, I always feel that we are not in the same world." He took out a piece of candy and threw it into his mouth. The hawthorn from this candy shop was rolled with a thick layer of crystal sugar, which was sour and sweet, and very appetizing. "
Brother Shaobai, you also have a taste."
Xun Ding stuffed one into him without any explanation, and kept mumbling: "Alai loved to eat before, but after he got pregnant, he could only watch me eat it. There is a thirsty water shop over there. The most authentic one."
Brother Shaobai also has a taste of the characteristics of Long Dance."
Jimo Qiu was dragged in and out of various shops.
Not long after, both of them were carrying large and small bags.
Jimo Qiu was curious about everything he saw: "When I came yesterday, Shisan pestered Brother Fang Liu and the others to eat and drink everywhere. I thought that was all Fengluo. I never thought there were so many lost pearls. Fengluo City, follow me
It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before.”
Xun Ding smiled and said: "Where are you? When you have time in the future, I will be my host and show you more fun things."
"You don't even have to go on duty or accompany Alai?"
"Isn't this marriage leave? I still have my field leave and clothing leave this year. Even if I don't have any leave, Yaoguang Wei doesn't have much to do... There is no war now, so I have nothing to do... As for Alai, she is better than me
She is still busy and can’t find her every day.”
Gongxi has not been sitting on his hands these past few years.
Although Gong Xiqiu left behind a fortune that she would never be able to spend in a few lifetimes, he also left behind more than a thousand old members of Bu Qu, who all had to be fed. Gong Xi took the initiative to disband them and arranged their respective places, and there were still
Partly because she was physically disabled, homeless, and had no support, she couldn't just give her a sum of money and spend it. After all, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
After thinking about it, she started a business with these old people.
At first it was just a matter of collecting some mountain goods.
After making profits, other tracks were opened up.
Even though she is pregnant, she has no intention of stopping: "However, she will be able to relax after getting married."
Jimo Qiu's tone deepened: "The women in the clan will not be restrained by the inner house. There is nothing wrong with Alai doing business. Don't you agree?"
"Brother Shaobai, don't kill a good person by mistake."
Xun Ding wished he could raise his hands in the air and shout that he was wronged.
Sighed: "Oh, why don't I want to keep her busy? It is actually a specific provision of Kangguo's law. I am the general of Yaoguang Guard. After Alai gets married, she will be my wife. Whether she is a civil servant or a military attache, she is a close relative of the family.
They are not allowed to do business. If allowed, Kang Guo doesn't know how corrupt he will be. Even if we don't get married, Alai couldn't do this originally. She is still the sister of the second brother. Although the second brother has no actual position in the court,
But there was also a general who was in vain, but fortunately he got permission from the king."
Gong Xiqiu himself is not in Kang State and has no real power, and Gong Xilai is his adopted sister. It is no problem to take advantage of the opportunity to grant her permission to do business. Now that Gong Xiqiu is back, Gong Xilai is going to marry Xun Ding again. These things
She couldn't handle the business herself.
It can only be left to people who are not related to it.
Otherwise, if the censor knew about it, how could he miss this opportunity to find fault with Xun Ding and cause trouble for Xun Zhen? Xun Ding thought with his toes and knew that the censor would pinch him. Or maybe he would say that he was not strict in housekeeping, causing the house to be ruined.
If he is uneasy, he will either say that he cannot control his wife, or even worse, he will say that he conspired with his wife to make money. If the scope of the attack is wider, he can also criticize his father Xun Zhen for his incompetence in teaching his son.
The memorials of the father and son can fill the Lord's desk.
No one in the Yushitai group is afraid, and no one dares to scold him. If he gets a little crazier, Gong Xiqiu might also be dragged in to scold him.
The reason why Gongxi is so busy is to deal with these little tails, handle the business well, and try not to leave any clues.
Jimo Qiu didn't expect this to be the reason.
He shook his head: "I don't know much about the secular world, but - since it is the intention of the king, there must be a deep meaning."
Xun Ding smiled: "Yes, money, power, and influence, if you have one of the three, you will be prosperous in this life. If you are greedy and want to get two, or even three, then don't blame it for disaster."
He first sent Jimo Qiu back to his temporary accommodation, watched the people go in, and then turned back to his house. As soon as he stepped up the steps, Si Yan came over and whispered that his father had been waiting for him for a while.
Xun Ding's smile froze: "Father is back?"
Then he asked: "Father, how does he look?"
Si Yan also learned to lower his voice again.
"The parents seem to be in a good mood."
Because tomorrow is the wedding of Xun Ding and Gong Xilai, everyone in the Xun family is busy with this matter. The decoration part has been completed, and everything is red to the eye. The servants are busy with the final preparations. When Xun Ding arrived, Xun Zhen was standing
Lost his mind in front of the main hall door.
"Father, is this trip going well?"
Xun Zhen came back to her senses. She first observed whether Xun Ding had any external injuries. She softened her expression when she saw that nothing was wrong. However, she quickly turned serious again and scolded: "You are already a father, and you are still so naughty? You are not at home.
If you prepare well for your marriage, where can you go wild?"
"Of course I want to accompany my elder brother to get to know Feng Luo."
"Where do you come from, big brother?"
"He's Alai's eldest brother." Gong Xiqiu had been looking for his biological brother for nearly ten years.
Xun Zhen asked again: "When did brother Gongxi Qiu come?"
Xun Ding poured himself a large cup of tea.
"It should have been yesterday."
Xun Zhen glanced at her son secretly: "They came yesterday, so were you beaten by them together last night?"
Xun Ding: "..."
His biological father has become more and more like his stepfather in recent years.
Xun Ding abruptly changed the subject, not wanting to think about last night's beating, so he carefully apologized and said, "I just saw my father frowning, but is there something bothering him? Or did the inspection not go well?"
Xun Zhen rarely brought her business emotions to home.
"A little bit of both."
I don’t want to say more about the specific content.
Xun Ding was too wise to get to the bottom of it. He just smiled and rubbed his hands, nervously saying, "Well, will the Lord come up tomorrow?"
Xun Zhen said quietly: "I will definitely come. Even if it is not for the sake of our father and son, I will come just because of Alai. You also said that Gong Xiqiu arrived in Fengluo yesterday..."
If it were anyone else, most people would think that Xun Zhen's words imply that Shen Tang and Gong Xichou have an unusual relationship, but Xun Ding heard something different: "What do you mean, father, there is going to be a war?"
Xun Zhen rubbed the teacup, lowered her eyes and sighed: "Either with Bei Mo or Gao Guo, the former is more likely."
If you want to start a war, you should pay more attention to benevolent generals.
Xun Zhen didn't know the origin of Shen Tang and the Gongxi clan - even if Shen Tang didn't show mercy, Gongxi Qiu would fight for her - but it can be explained from Xun Zhen's perspective.
"Bei Mo can still understand it, how can Gao Guo do it?"
"The news is being sealed at the moment, but it won't be hidden for a few days. You will know by then." Xun Zhen is very smart now. Once a war breaks out with Bei Mo, the Ministry of Revenue will cooperate with allocating money. , prepare food and supplies. It’s not that the treasury doesn’t have the budget, but the budget is not as large as expected. After just a few days of prosperity, it will return to a state of being stretched.
"Wu Zhaode, I can't guarantee the late festival." Xun Zhen sighed suddenly, while looking at this evil son of his own. Although he was a little rebellious, it was more worry-free than Wu Xian's sons. It will not bring misfortune to the family.
Xun Ding: "..."
The grain and grass that disappeared in the "Ghost Grain Stealing Case" and the large amount of wealth gathered in the "Jinli Official Debt Case" disappeared when they entered the territory of Gao State. In other words, when Shen Tang wrote to Wu Xian , the news was revealed and someone took advantage of it.
Wu Xian's attitude towards this matter is very ambiguous.
He wrote a letter to Shen Tang to apologize to Shen Tang, saying that he was sorry for failing to live up to her instructions, and that he would definitely catch the gangsters and recover the losses. However, there were no serious measures in his actions, but his voice was loud. They are all thousand-year-old foxes, who can Can't you see that he is making love?
This news made Kang Guo prepare for the worst.
What's the plan?
Naturally, the war is fought on two fronts.
To deal with the front and rear attacks from the Northern Desert and Gao Kingdom.
At the same time, Wang Ting.
Shen Tang carefully read the reply that he could recite by heart several times. The anger inside was soaring, but it was not vented. The atmosphere in the palace was just depressing. Until the female official in the inner palace said that Luan Xin asked for an audience, she calmed down and said, "Let justice come in." ."
Luan Xin, who was waiting outside the hall, slowly walked inside.
Shen Tang asked: "How is your leg injury going?"
"Thank you Lord for your concern. The doctors at the Medical Department have superb medical skills. After their careful care, they have improved. However, after all, it is an old injury that has damaged the muscles and bones. It will still take time to cure it." Luan Xin had a slight smile on his face. Carefully. Judging from his legs, his movements are much more flexible than a few years ago. After the monarch and his ministers exchanged greetings, it was time to get down to business, "My lord, these are the news sent back from the Kingdom of Gao."
In addition to the four divisions under the personnel department, there is also a special department that few people know about, which specializes in managing internal agents sent to various places.
The communication between the internal affairs department and the official department is unilateral.
Unless otherwise instructed, it will only work in both directions.
The pieces of information in Luan Xin's hands related to whether Shen Tang would fight Gao Guo and Bei Mo together, or attack Bei Mo first and then Gao Guo. If possible, she hoped it would be the latter. Although she had been recruiting heavily over the years, she could not There are few generals who can fight, but the pressure of a two-front national war is still too great. If the wind is strong and the waves are too high, the ship will capsize.

I'm taking a day off today. The plot is so stuck that I'm numb.
