Chapter 611 King Xiang
The maid next to her, also with tears in her eyes, told about her girl kneeling in front of Ninghui Courtyard for a whole night. Mrs. Ma felt like a thunderbolt, and she took two steps back, still in disbelief, "She, she, How dare she?"
Xiao Xun got up early in the morning and went to King Xiang's study.
Last night, King Xiang and his peony parrot rested in the study. When he got up early, the prince played with the parrot under the eaves and taught it to call daddy.
Seeing his son coming, King Xiang was shocked, "Son, it's only been a month, and you were kicked out by your wife to sleep?"
Xiao Xun was thin-skinned, and when he heard this, he blushed with shame, and he didn't want to talk to his father about what happened in his boudoir, so he pretended he didn't hear it, and asked his father's entourage, "Has the lord had breakfast? "
"If you go back to Your Highness, not yet!"
Xiao Xun then said to Mohen, "Go back and tell the princess, ask the princess's kitchen to bring a table of breakfast over here, and this king will eat with my father here."
King Xiang was not in the mood to tease the birds anymore, and went into the study together with Xiao Xun. The father and son sat down, and King Xiang asked, "At home, who messed with your wife again?"
If it was Xiao Xun himself who provoked him, Xiao Xun would find a way to get revenge at the age of three. After so many years, the whole palace would rather provoke King Xiang than anyone who dared to take Xiao Xun's idea.
"Father, why don't you find a way to restrain your wives, concubines and children, I'm worried that if I go to Xijiang, someone will hit the blade of the princess, and the princess won't remember her son If you are merciless, whoever you hurt will make your father sad."
King Xiang couldn't be unaware of what happened in Ninghui Courtyard. Someone reported it to him last night, and he didn't bother to respond. Today Xiao Xun came to the door, so he couldn't pretend he didn't know.
"Son, dad is getting old, he didn't know how to take care of himself when he was young, but now he's getting old, his health is getting worse. Dad still says the same thing, you bring a message to the princess, your mothers and concubines are all women anyway, It doesn't make much difference if you live or die, but your brothers and sisters are also born and raised by me, so you two just save your life!"
Now that the words have come to this point, Xiao Xun knows that there will not be many opportunities for father and son to talk heart-to-heart in the future, so he doesn't talk about these bad things, just say what King Xiang likes to hear, and make King Xiang happy.
Breakfast was served in the room. Compared with the breakfast in the palace, the one delivered by Ninghui Courtyard was more delicate, and tasted more like Jiangnan. King Xiang tasted it and his appetite was good.
While the father and son were eating, Xiao Xun asked, "Father, Ah Ke is the legitimate son after all, so father doesn't have any thoughts about him?"
"Can you have any ideas?" King Xiang said indifferently, "Make meritorious deeds? Your second brother raises cats and dogs very well. The day before yesterday, he came to me and said that he wanted a Zhuangzi to raise cats and dogs. He also said, His Duo Duo gave birth to a litter of puppies with a bitch, and sold a dog for one hundred taels of silver. I saw that this was a way to make a living, so I gave him a village of more than one hundred acres and It’s not bad for a shop to concentrate on raising cats and dogs in the future.”
King Xiang seemed to have thought of something, and said to Xiao Xun, "Don't think that keeping cats and dogs is worthless, you kicked the girl from the Zhuang family well. Now, his mother and concubine don't want to accept the girl from the Zhuang family as his side concubine. It is also a good thing to have a peaceful home in the future. Speaking of which, I also want to ask you, I think your wife takes good care of her natal sisters. In the future, if you brothers and sisters have eye-catching Yes, let your daughter-in-law help check it out and find a good family, I will be content!"
"Father!" Xiao Xun yelled sincerely. He got up and left his seat, and was about to kneel down to King Xiang. If you don’t want to die yet, don’t kneel down on your knees, you’ll kneel me to the sky. Come with me!”
Xiao Xun followed King Xiang into the small bedroom behind his study, he turned his head and said to Xiao Xun, "Close the door!"
King Xiang bent his body and got under the bed. His body was too fat, and even though the bed was high, he couldn't get in. Xiao Xun hurriedly pulled his father back, "I'll help you get what's inside!"
Xiao Xun had never been under the bed before, and after he got in, he groped inside and found a box. There was a layer of dust and a layer of cobwebs on the ebony wood and red lacquer carved box. Xiao Xun thought it was dirty, so he handed it To King Xiang.
King Xiang also thought it was dirty and refused to accept it, "Take it, it's for you. Here is a gold mine in Yunnan, there are a few more in Lingnan, and there are other mines in other places. I'll give you all the mountains."
It was full of minerals, Xiao Xun suddenly felt that the box was very heavy, and hesitated to return it.
"In the Northwest War, you can only count on the court. Even if you have your father-in-law and Xie Tiao in the court, it may not be effective at critical times. I don't know if Mu Shaocong is making trouble in the mine in Yunnan. I haven't seen it for two years. How much gold have you got, if you are free later, help me cook that guy, and let him spit out for me."
"Yes!" Xiao Xun hesitated to speak, but King Xiang didn't take it seriously, "I don't only have this little wealth. If I give it to you, you can take it. If there are better ones, it can be regarded as returning to the original owner! Don't let Dad has waited too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait!"
Xiao Xun said again, "Yes!"
After Xiao Xun left, King Xiang returned to his usual appearance, and said to the attendant beside him, "Go and tell the princess, and from now on, let her bring a table of breakfast over there every day."
My lord, does this mean you are addicted to food?
Xiao Xun returned to Ninghui Courtyard, and when he heard voices from Dongci's room, he paused and asked, "Who is it?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, it is the fourth young master who came to greet the princess!"
Xiao Xun entered the Ming room, turned his footsteps, and went to the Xici room.
Dongji, Xiao Wei's initial embarrassment had disappeared. He didn't expect it to be so easy to talk to the Princess. Xie Zhiwei asked him what his future plans were, and he thought for a while, "I haven't thought that far yet."
Xie Zhiwei said, "Since that's the case, why don't you come to my place to do things temporarily, I'm going to ask your elder brother for a few people to open up a trade route from Uighur to Zhending Mansion, I will definitely not let you go to Uighur, why don't you , go to Zhending Mansion and help me see if there is a good shop, buy it first, and see what kind of business is good there?"
When Xiao Wei heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Sister-in-law, if you go on the trade route between Uighur and Zhending Mansion, why don't you let me go, I can speak Uighur pretty well."
"Really? How can you speak Uighur?"
"In the past, there was a grocery store run by a Uyghur in the capital. I worked as a helper there for several years, and the shopkeeper was a Uyghur. I talked to him for several years."
Xie Zhiwei thought for a while, but still shook his head, "No, your elder brother and the Uighur will fight at some point. If you are taken hostage, will your elder brother surrender or not?"
