After Mu Yan's popularization, Huo Xi has a better understanding of the situation of chieftains in various states and counties.
"Does it mean that there are local officials governing, and the counties with more Han people are richer? Is it easier for me to do something?"
Mu Yan nodded, "Those who actively integrate into the Han cultural circle are generally more flexible. Many of the Yi ethnic groups in Yunnan are not wholeheartedly submitting, and various forces are ready to move. There are many people who want to tear themselves apart, and there are rebellions in the southwest. Li Dynasty fifty It has been more than a few years, and the southwest garrison has been increasing unabated these years."
Looking at Huo Xi: "Some chieftain states are stuck in their ways and cannot be changed, so don't try to change them. You need to be cautious in your actions. If there are prefectures and counties governed by senior officials, it will be much easier for you to do things. But going out Still need to bring more people.”
He knew that Huo Xi couldn't sit still, and if something happened to her, he wouldn't just ignore it. He wanted her to stay comfortably in the mansion until he came back. But she is not the kind of dodder, she wants to be with him.
He will fulfill her and protect her with his whole life. She can do whatever she wants, and he is there for everything.
Huo Xi stretched out a palm and covered his eyes. Mu Yan's eyes full of love were covered by her, she smiled, pulled her hand down, put it to her lips and pecked again and again.
"itch!"
Huo Xi hid with a smile, and fell into his arms. Nodding at him: "Don't worry, I know. I will bring more people with me when I go out. I have invited a lot of people who understand different languages in different places, so I don't have to worry about not being able to understand them, and they will be there."
Mu Yan smiled and nodded, "Okay, you can do whatever you want."
The courtyard of the Jun family on West Road.
Hearing that the Duke gave Huo Xi the manor next to the Dianchi Lake, Wu Shi rushed to complain: "Mother, didn't the manor promise to be left to Ying'er? Why did it go to Zhang!"
Wuzhi has long taken a fancy to the manor next to Dianchi Lake.
She often came to Kunming City to play when she was young, and she memorized every scene in it. It was designed by famous teachers from Jiangnan.
When she was young, she thought that it would be great if the garden was her own. If it was from another family, she would have asked her father to buy it long ago. It belonged to the Duke of Qian State, and I have always regretted not being able to buy it.
I didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to marry into the Duke of Qian's mansion. She asked Mu Zhan if the manor could be used as a dowry gift, and Mu Zhan said that it was left by his grandfather and could not be given to someone with another surname.
But now, this manor has not been given to the surname Zhang!
Different from Wuzhi's indignation, Jun's face remained calm, but he gritted his molars for a long time and did not speak.
Mu Sheng! Still miss Mu Yan, the eldest son!
Even if he adopts Dafang, he still thinks it is his bloodline! Ying'er was born and raised in front of him, but he just couldn't see it! He didn't take a look at that **** Mu Qi, but he still missed him!
Hands clenched tightly in the sleeves.
Wu Shi was a little angry, he babbled a few words but his mother-in-law didn't respond, he turned his head to look, and saw her mother-in-law's grim face, he was startled, and when he looked closely, there seemed to be no expression at all.
"Mother, you also know that I like that garden very much. When I first asked Mu Zhan if he wanted to come as a bride price, he said that the garden should not fall into the hands of people with a foreign surname. Later, Ying'er was born, and it was agreed that it would be left to Ying'er. , my father is too partial. Mu Zhan is a concubine, but our Yinger is the eldest grandson, he is Mu Zhan's eldest son..."
"Shut up!" The **** and the son of a son, Jun's chest burst into flames.
Because she is a concubine and the Cheng family is the official wife, no matter what she does these years, even if everyone in Yunnan regards her as the Duke’s wife, her two sons are still bastards, bastards!
Wu Shi was stopped by Jun Shi, but he was very unconvinced.
If the mother-in-law had a bigger heart and let Mu Zhan adopt him to Mrs. Cheng early, wouldn't Mu Zhan become the eldest son of the Duke? It would not have been suppressed for so many years to invite the crown prince.
Finally, Mu Yan took advantage of it.
Jun Shi glanced at her and knew that she was not convinced, but he didn't want to say more.
"I asked you to keep an eye on the Shiziyuan. How did you keep an eye on it? Mu Yan didn't even know when he entered the mansion in the middle of the night! He only brought a few soldiers with him along the way..." Jun's hands squeezed tightly.
How could Wu Zhi not know her thoughts. But why did she do such a thing as blocking the way and killing people?
She has already married into the Qian State Duke's Mansion. Although Mu Zhan is not the eldest son, he still has a lot of power. Mu Yan's presence in the capital does not interfere with her husband and wife's affairs.
Relying on the Duke’s Mansion these years, Kunjiang Wushi has become the leader of their Baiyi clan, and the other chieftains dare not underestimate Kunjiang Wushi.
If she takes action against Mu Yan and gives the imperial court a chance to eradicate the Kunjiang Wu family in one fell swoop, her father and her clan will probably eat her raw.
Wu Zhi felt that her mother-in-law was useless, but when Mu Yan was still fledgling, he couldn't help him. You couldn't move him back then, but now you still want to break him?
It's not that Wu Shi underestimated this mother-in-law, it's because she felt that Mu Yan, the eldest son, was bottomless.
She has been socializing with her father since she was a child, and has seen all kinds of worldly and important people, but Mu Yan, the son of the world, she dare not look at him.
The majesty of the superior, the coldness all over the body makes people dare not look directly. Compared with him, Mu Zhan is not even half as good.
Wushi sighed in his heart.
Jun Shi glanced at this daughter-in-law, feeling dissatisfied. I think she can only shout at first glance, she is just a paper tiger.
"You go, since this matter is the Duke's idea, it's useless for others to talk about it. Ying'er is the grandson of the Duke, so how can he not love Ying'er?"
Wu Shi pouted, and saluted: "Yes, my daughter-in-law is leaving." He strode out of the yard, and the silver ornaments on his skirt jingled.
Jun rubbed his forehead with a headache.
Mu Yan only stayed for one night, and had lunch with Huo Xi the next day, explained some things to her in detail, and then left quickly with Li Yi and others.
Huo Xi couldn't sit still, and left the mansion after Mu Yan left.
A few people wandered all the way, and they found everything interesting, and they often stopped to look at it.
"Ma'am, Zhui Feng said that someone is following us from behind. It's from the mansion." Xiang Cao moved closer to Huo Xi and whispered.
Huo Xi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded to express his understanding. Glancing at Vanilla, "When did Zhui Feng tell you? Why didn't I see him approaching?"
Vanilla looked complacently, "He doesn't need to get close, I can tell what he's going to say with just one look and one gesture."
"Sister Vanilla, amazing!" Qiushuang, Dongxue and others praised her in admiration.
"What's so amazing about this? When you get married, you and your husband-in-law can do the same. You can know what each other wants to say with just one look and one expression."
"Are all couples like this?"
"You will know if you try it. Or do you want to get married too? Would you like my wife and I to help you choose?"
The two girls blushed, "Sister Vanilla, don't talk nonsense, we don't want to get married!" Everyone laughed.
Huo Xi also laughed a few times. Seeing the interesting children's toy in front of a booth, he hurriedly greeted Vanilla, "This toy is very delicately made. Come and see Vanilla. Do you think Xiao Yuer and Rouge will like it?"
"Which one is which?" Vanilla squeezed over and went to the stall to pick together, "Madam, let's ignore the tail behind him?"
"Leave him alone." "Okay." The two of them just pretended that the tail behind them didn't exist, and concentrated on picking up the toys on the booth, preparing to send them back to the son of the capital.
