Chapter 718: The World Is Bustling (45)
Shendu Garden, Xiangwang's Mansion.
Princess Taiping seemed to be stepping into this mansion for the first time, and her smart apricot eyes looked around and pursed her lips.
The regulations of the Xiangwang Mansion are surprisingly small, but the real reason for her disdain is that the furnishings and layouts are low-style, and there is a lot of wealth and nobility, but it is redundant, too much, and there is no taste in it, and she is like a nouveau riche.
"Aunt please" Li Chengqi, the king of Shouchun, and the county lord of Shouchang led the way together.
The daughter of the lord of Shouchang County was sensitive, and noticed that Princess Taiping's face was different, leaned towards her, and said softly, "Auntie, my father is busy with official business, and Aunt Liu is in charge of the middle of the house.
At the beginning, the county lord of Shouchang and Zheng Jingsi engaged to the wedding, Quan Ce pretended to be drunk, and the county lord of Shouchang sent a thin blanket up, Princess Taiping had a good impression of her, and listened to her words, she was also a thoughtful person, taking into account her perception, and not speaking ill of her, which was comprehensive.
"Hehe, the Liu family has rarely gone out recently, I have heard of it, and I thought it was something wrong, it turned out that it was a calm temperament" Princess Taiping would not save face for the concubine Liu, and directly exposed it, not without ridicule.
In the past, there was no concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the side concubine Liu jumped up and down, and she was very active, and it was only around the Spring Festival that she settled down.
The county lord of Shouchang lowered his head, where filial piety lies, as a child, even if it is a concubine, it is not appropriate to listen to these.
Xiangwang Li Dan greeted him in the main hall, his cheeks were still chubby, a little saggy, especially in the eye sockets, and even the depression was visible, a team of people sent to Longyou disappeared from the ground, and Liu Zhen and others who stayed in Hedong were not heard from at all, Di Renjie and Xie Yaohuan went to Hedong to investigate the case, and his psychological pressure was getting worse day by day.
Seeing Princess Taiping approaching, she pressed her heart and waved and said with a smile, "Taiping, I don't see you for ten days, your majesty is even greater, you are here, the imperial brother is here, but it is a little more noble."
"Hmph, I've seen the imperial brother" Princess Taiping curted her knees and looked left and right, "Why can't you see the imperial sister-in-law?" ”
Li Dan had a stiff smile on his face and waved his hand, "Don't talk about her, the imperial brother knows that you don't like restraints, and follow me to the backyard for a stroll, in early spring, the bauhinia blooms just right."
Princess Taiping refused, "No, Brother Huang, my body is not good these days, I am impatient and active, just find a place to face the wind, drink tea and chat a few words."
"It's okay" Li Dan noticed that Princess Taiping had the intention of talking in private, waved his hand to let Li Chengqi and the county lord of Shouchang retreat, and ordered the steward to set up a table and a couch on the corridor outside the flower hall, and the two brothers and sisters sat opposite each other to enjoy tea.
"King Ding is worthy of the reputation of Tao Zhu Gong, and he has also run a lot of tricks in the business of roasted tea, and has made a lot of types, some of which are outrageously expensive, and under the New Year's Festival, the gift is just used" Li Dan buried his cheeks in the curling aroma of tea, and closed his eyes with emotion, "The royal family, the wealth is wide, and there is no official and the imperial history, he is the only one, and he is really envious of others"
"People in the world have their own fate, they can't be forced, some things are decided on the ground, and the fight is short and long, but it's just a matter of self-inflicted troubles" Princess Taiping gently shook the white jade teacup, put it on her red lips, and gently took a sip, her teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and the tea entered her heart from the mouth, which warmed people's hearts, so that she remembered the bad thief for no reason, her mind wandered, and she quickly pulled it back, and said with a smile, "Brother Huang, let you go into business, maybe, you will lose all your money"
"What Taiping said is that there are more than that, and there are more people who are not as good as people, and life will be sad" Li Dan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "On the way to business, those who dare to compare with King Ding, I'm afraid that there is only Da Lang, but he is not here, and he gives up halfway, and lets King Ding pick up a lot of money in vain."
Princess Taiping picked the corners of her mouth and said indifferently, "If the imperial brother really has this intention, Taiping is willing to be a middle-aged person, Da Lang will not dare to refuse, this business, not as much as you want, how much?" ”
"Hehehe" Li Dan laughed dryly for a while, and helplessly nodded Princess Taiping a few times, "Taiping, how old is the person, I still want to be a small lady, I want to really go to be a businessman, I'm afraid that the mother emperor will spare me."
Li Dan said it warmly, but Princess Taiping's heart sank.
It is almost a common thing for people in the royal family to do business, and there used to be buying land and land, but now the court is tight, and the places are also redeeming and buying good land, no one dares to commit crimes against the wind, and the means of accumulating wealth are probably only one way to do business.
These days, when the nobles are doing business, they often take many detours and hide behind the scenes, and who will be the bookkeeper in person? It's just that there is a difference between being attentive and not being attentive, and those who are not attentive are equivalent to being clean and clean, not contaminated with copper smell, and those who are attentive are drawn from wealth, like the former Princess Yiyang, and the current Dingwang Wuyouji, who is one of the best.
At most, it's just a bad reputation, in fact, there is no negative impact, Wu You and the name of the God of Wealth are well-known in the government and the opposition, and he is still his local official book? Instead of reproaching, Empress Wu felt a little more relieved and trusted.
Princess Taiping laughed forcefully and straightened her wind-blown hair, Li Dan's excuse was not clever at all, but it exposed the restlessness in his heart.
"Brother Huang, Chengqi is not too young, do you have a plan for marriage?" Princess Taiping turned away.
Li Dan's eyes lit up, revealing some joy, and said eagerly, "I haven't mentioned this yet, Da Lang set an example and brought up the wind of late marriage, which attracted the children of the royal family to follow suit. ”
Princess Taiping chuckled, "Brother Huang, don't be funny, you see, can Taiping be a matchmaker?" ”
"Hehe, you don't have that patience" Li Dan didn't think it was annoyed, and said with a smile, "There is a big man in everything, where do you need to work hard?" ”
Princess Taiping's face was slightly gloomy, but Li Dan meant that he hit Quan Ce with the idea and asked Quan Ce to come forward to discuss Li Chengqi's marriage.
"He's busy with business, and he has a hibiscus to give birth, how can he have the leisure to take care of these" Princess Taiping gave a hard nail, "The imperial sister-in-law is also a famous family, it shouldn't be difficult to find a lady."
Li Dan's face was ugly again, and he laughed dryly, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll talk about it later...... cough cough, I heard that your house has set up a lot of hot spring villages, specializing in planting vegetables in the cold winter days, in the royal brother's mansion, but the gluttony of that thing, if there are too many, and even some of them"
Princess Taiping frowned quietly, this is the second time, and when the conversation reached the Liu family, Li Dan forcibly turned away.
Hedong Province monitored Liu Town, which she personally managed, and it is not difficult to imagine that Li Dan was prepared, and the situation was out of control, so he threw Liu out and used him as a scapegoat.
Thinking of this, Princess Taiping breathed a sigh of relief, and there was even a trace of pity in her eyes, dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, it is just ordinary to be ambitious, but she doesn't even have the courage to protect the person next to the pillow, isn't it sighing?
"There are vegetables and vegetables, if it weren't for Da Lang's love to use them, Taiping wouldn't be able to think of fiddling with this thing, so another day, send some to the imperial brother"
