Chapter 954 Chapter 954: The family is unfortunate, and the brothers are feuding (Part 1) [Ask for monthly votes]
Even though Xun Ding knew a little 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 in this candy shop was rolled with a thick layer of crystal sugar coating, sour and sweet. Sweet and very appetizing, "Brother Shaobai, you also have a taste."
Xun Ding Without any hesitation, I stuffed him with one, and kept mumbling: "Alai loved to eat before, but after getting pregnant, he could only watch me eat. There is a thirsty water shop over there. The most authentic Long's Brother Shaobai also has a taste of the special 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 here yesterday, Shisan pestered Brother Fang Liu and the others to eat and drink everywhere. I thought that was all Feng Luo. I never thought there were so many lost pearls. Fengluo City is different from anything I have ever seen before.” More fun.”
“You don’t 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 there is no holiday, Yaoguang Wei does not have much business... There is no war now, so I am free... As for Alai, she is busier than me, and she 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 all in her lifetime, she also left behind more than a thousand old people, all of whom had to be supported. Gongxi took the initiative to disband them and arranged their places to go. Some of them were homeless and had no support due to physical disabilities. She couldn't just give them a sum of money and send them away. After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
After thinking about it, she took these old people to start a business.
In the beginning, it was just a simple collection of mountain goods.
After making profits, other tracks were opened.
Even though she was pregnant, she had no intention of stopping: "However, she can relax after getting married."
Jimo Qiu's tone deepened: "The women in the clan will not be restrained by the inner house, and it is nothing for Alai to do business. No, you don’t agree?”
“Brother Shaobai, please don’t kill a good person by mistake.”
Xun Ding wanted to raise his hands 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, and Alai will be my wife after she gets married, no matter it is Whether he is a civil servant or a military officer, his relatives are not allowed to do business. Xu, Kang Guo didn't know how to become corrupt. Even if we didn't get married, Alai couldn't do it originally. She was still the sister of the second brother. Although the second brother had no actual position in the court, he also had a fictitious general. , Fortunately, I got the permission from the king.”
Gong Xiqiu himself was not in Kang State and had no real power. Gong Xilai was his adopted sister, so there was no problem in taking advantage of the opportunity to grant her permission to do business. Now that Gong Xichou is back, and Gong Xilai is going to marry Xun Ding, she can't handle these businesses personally.
It can only be left to people who are not related.
Otherwise, if Yushitai knew about it, how could he miss this opportunity to find fault with Xun Zhen and cause trouble for Xun Zhen? Xun Ding thought with his toes, knowing that the censor would pinch him and not let him go. Either he was said to be lax in housekeeping, which caused unrest in the family, or he was unable to control his wife, or even worse, he was said to have conspired with his wife to make money. If the scope of the attack was wider, he could also criticize his father Xun Zhen for his incompetence in educating his children.
The memorials of Shen and his son can fill the Lord's desk.
No one is afraid of the people at Yushitai, and no one dares to scold them. If he gets a little crazier, maybe Gong Xiqiu will be dragged in to scold him too.
The reason why Gongxi Lai is so busy is to deal with these little tails, handle the business well, and try not to leave any clues.
Jimo Qiu did not expect this to be the reason.
He shook his head: "I don't know much about the secular world, but - since it is the meaning of the king, it must have a deep meaning."
Xun Ding smiled: "Yes, money, Power and power are all three. One is enough for a lifetime of glory. 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 stay and looked at it. After people went in, they turned around and went back home. As soon as he stepped up the steps, Si Yan came over and whispered that his father had been waiting for him for a long time.
Xun Ding's smile froze: "Father is back?"
He asked again: "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, and the servants are busy with the final preparations. When Xun Ding arrived, Xun Zhen was standing in front of the main hall door, lost in thought.
"Father, is this trip going well?"
Xun Zhen came back to her senses. She first observed whether Xun Ding had any external injuries, and then softened her expression when she saw that everything was fine. But she soon became serious again and scolded: " You are already a father, and you are still so naughty? You are not at home? Get ready for marriage, where are you going?”
“Of course I’ll get to know Feng Luo with my eldest brother.”
“Where did you come from, eldest brother?”
“Yes. Big brother is here." Gong Xiqiu has been looking for his 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 be 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 topic, not wanting to think about the beating last night, and carefully apologized: "I just saw my father frowning, but is there something troublesome? Or did the inspection not go well?"
< br>Xun Zhen rarely brought her business emotions to home.
“A little bit of both.”
But I don’t want to say more about the specific content.
Xun Ding was too sensible to get to the bottom of the matter. He just smiled and rubbed his hands, nervously saying: "Then, will the master come up tomorrow?"
Xun Zhen said quietly: "Come on. I will definitely come. Even if it is not for the sake of our father and son, I will come here 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’s going to be a war?”
Xun Zhen rubbed the tea cup, 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 Gong Xi clan - even if Shen Tang didn't show mercy, Gong Xiqiu would fight for her - but it can be explained from Xun Zhen's perspective.
"Bei Mo can still understand, how could Gao Guo do it?"
"The news is being blocked at the moment, but it won't be hidden for a few days. You will know by then." Er Nao Ren'er is a big man. Once a war breaks out with Bei Mo, the Ministry of Revenue will cooperate with allocating money and preparing food, grass and luggage. It’s not that the state treasury doesn’t have the budget, but the budget is not as large as expected. After just a few days of prosperity, we are about to return to a state of poverty.
"Wu Zhaode, there is no guarantee of the late festival." Xun Zhen sighed suddenly, while looking at this evil son of his own. Although he is a bit rebellious, the advantage is that he is less worried. He is much more worry-free than Wu Xian's sons and will not cause misfortune to his family.
Xun Ding: "..."
The grain and grass that disappeared in the "Yingui Grain Stealing Case" and the large amount of wealth gathered in the "Jinli Official Debt Case" disappeared when they entered the territory of Gaoguo. In other words, when Shen Tang wrote a letter to Wu Xian, the news was leaked and someone took advantage of it.
Wu Xian’s attitude towards this matter is very ambiguous.
Obviously, he wrote a letter to Shen Tang apologizing, 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 harsh measures in his actions, and he was just loud in his voice. They are all thousand-year-old foxes, who can't see that he is messing with Xini?
This news made Kang Guo prepare for the worst.
What's the plan?
Of course it is a two-front war.
Cope 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 in his heart 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 doing?"
"Thank you Lord for your concern. The doctors at the Medical Department have superb medical skills. After their careful care, it has improved, but After all, it is an old injury that has damaged the muscles and bones, and it will take time to cure it." Luan Xin said with a smile on his face. Looking carefully at 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 from the Kingdom of Gao."
Except for the fourth division of the official department, , there is also a little-known special department that specializes in managing internal agents sent to various places.
Neiying and the official department have unilateral contacts.
It will be bi-directional unless otherwise instructed.
The pieces of information in Luan Xin's hands are related to whether Shen Tang will fight Gao Guo and Bei Mo together, or whether to attack Bei Mo first and then Gao Guo. If possible, she hoped it would be the latter. Although they have vigorously promoted and recruited many capable generals in recent years, the pressure of a two-front national war is still too great. If the wind is strong, the waves will capsize the boat.

I’m taking a day off today. The plot is so stuck that I feel numb.
In the evening, I will sort out how to connect the plot
