Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 510

After Li Chengqian and Su Mei came out of the Lizheng Palace, a servant came to Li Chengqian's side.

"How is the investigation going?" Li Chengqian looked at the servant and asked, and the servant looked at Su Mei.

"What do you see her doing? Well, what do you see her doing?" Li Chengqian said angrily when he saw him like this.

"Your Highness redeemed, that man has already come out!" The servant was terrified, and hurriedly said.

"Hmph!" Li Chengqian walked out quickly with his hands behind his back when he heard it. Su Mei didn't know what was going on, but she still followed quickly.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Su Mei followed Li Chengqian and asked in a low voice.

"You've done a good job. Are you the only one who can make decisions in the East Palace? Well, is it? Is it a decoration of the East Palace?" Li Chengqian stared at Su Mei angrily, lowered Shen Yong and said, this is the Imperial Palace, It's not Donggong, so you can't get angry!
"Here, Your Highness, why did you say that? Didn't the concubine do anything?" Su Mei was at a loss, not knowing what he was talking about.

"Why did you say that? Okay, haha, okay, did you get the person in charge of the papermaking workshop before, and let him go to dig coal, but you're lucky, you got it out!" Li Chengqian looked at Su with a sneer. May said.

"Ah!" Su Mei was shocked when she heard this, and then she said in a hurry: "Your Highness, forgive me, my concubine made a mistake, and my concubine can't do anything about it. My uncle has been coming to me to propose marriage. I was thinking about this matter. It's not too big, so I let it out, and please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Li Chengqian ignored her, and walked quickly to the East Palace. After arriving in the East Palace, Li Chengqian went back to the study directly, and Su Mei followed, and immediately knelt down: "Your Highness, forgive me, my concubine made a mistake, my concubine Never dare again!"

"Don't think that the East Palace can't do without you!" Li Chengqian stared at Su Mei and said coldly. Su Mei couldn't help trembling when she heard it. This sentence is very important. Li Chengqian never said it before, but now he said it It means that he already has the idea of ​​changing the princess.

"Your Highness, my concubine made a mistake. My uncle has been looking for me. I thought, this matter has passed for so many days, and no one has pursued it, so I will let him go first. Your highness, my concubine will immediately let him go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. !" Su Mei knelt down on the ground, and said to Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian didn't even want to look at her, but sat there, staring at Su Mei. "

Please forgive me, Your Highness! " Su Mei continued to beg there.

"Hmph, forgive me, okay, for the sake of Gu Zhong'er, I'll give you a chance, just this once!" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said, staring at Su Mei.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Mei said quickly.

"Get up, get out!" Li Chengqian said with a cold face, Su Mei stood up, and hurried out with her head down. After a while, a court lady came to Li Chengqian's study and began to grind ink for Li Chengqian. Memorial, write something.

"Well, money is needed again. The river is repaired every year. Why can't it be repaired? It costs a lot every year, every year!" Li Chengqian saw a memorial, which was a memorial for the Yellow River to be repaired. He needed to pay 30 guan. .

"Your Highness, the river course is repaired every year. You can ask the Overwatch Council to investigate. There must be someone greedy for ink!" At this moment, the maid said in a low voice. When Li Chengqian heard it, she turned to look at the girl next to her. She was young, about twelve or three years old, maybe even younger.

"You still understand this?" Li Chengqian stared at the maid and asked.

"My father, a samurai, has been helping my father grind ink since he was a child. I know some things, but the little girl is too talkative. Please punish her!" The servant girl immediately knelt down and said.

"Oh, your father is a samurai? Why did you send him to the palace to be a court lady?" Li Chengqian looked at the palace maid with some incomprehension.

"I don't know, my father sent me here!" The girl continued to knelt down and said!
"What's your name?" Li Chengqian continued to stare at the girl and asked.

"My family called me Erniang since I was a child, and the name I reported to the palace is Wu Erniang!" The girl said immediately, and if Wei Hao was there, her jaw would probably drop in shock, and she would never have thought of it, because when she came here, Wu Zetian would He was sent to the palace by his father in advance, and he was still sent to the East Palace. At this moment, Wu Zetian's father, the warrior Xun, is not dead yet, and is still in office.

"Oh, so, how old are you this year?" Li Chengqian asked.

"His Royal Highness, I'm ten years old this year!" Wu Erniang replied immediately.

"Sent to the palace at the age of ten?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise, Wu Erniang bowed her head and remained silent.

"Okay, seeing that you are still so young, you will be dedicated to serving pens and inks in the study from now on. I know, the samurai, your father has contributed to the establishment of my Tang Dynasty. In Taiyuan, Azu was because of your father. Only with your support can you have the money to fight, and since you have made great achievements, I will send you out of the palace when you become an adult!" Li Chengqian looked at Wu Erniang and said with a smile.

"Yes, thank you Your Highness!" Wu Erniang said immediately, clasping her hands together.

"Get up, grind the ink!" Li Chengqian nodded, Wu Erniang immediately stood up, stood beside the study, and began to grind the ink. However, when Li Chengqian was reading the memorial, Wu Erniang also secretly watched, otherwise, she would There's nothing wrong with it, but it's not easy to talk.After Wei Hao returned to his mansion, he sat in the study.At this time, Xueyan also came to the study.

"Why are you here?" Wei Hao looked at Xueyan and asked.

"Returning to your son, His Highness came down today and asked about what happened last night! I don't know..." Empress Xue Yan lowered her head shyly.

"Oh, I know, that, go and do your work!" Wei Hao said blushing immediately.

"Yes!" Xueyan went out immediately, and in the next few days, several housekeepers would take turns to wait and sleep in Wei Hao's room. This day was the day when Li Ke got married, and Wei Hao's family also came to the Shu Palace early. .

"Hehe, Hao'er, there is no problem with the gifts this time. I heard that those aristocratic families have sent generous gifts. If we don't send less, will we lose face?" Wei Furong sat on the carriage, looking Wei Hao asked.

"How is it possible? There are rules for princes to give gifts, and we even gave a little more. No matter what, we won't lose our etiquette!" Wei Hao said immediately,
He knew in his heart that Wei Furong was happy. When the prince got married, he didn't participate because there was no reason to participate. But Wang and Wei Hao both participated, so he was the only one left in the family. He thought it was unbalanced, his son was his own Yes, the daughter-in-law is also his own. As a result, his son and daughter-in-law all participated, but he, the head of the family, could not participate. This time the King of Shu got married, Li Shimin sent someone to send invitations to Wei Furong, which made Wei Furong very happy.

"Okay, my lord, when the party arrives, we don't want to drink too much at the noon banquet!" Mrs. Wang said while staring at Wei Furong.

"Don't worry about that! The wine used in this banquet is all wine from our restaurant. It's very good. It's delicious, but your master and I drink it every day. It's not bad!" Wei Furong said proudly with a smile ,
But in Shu Palace, Li Jing and the others had already arrived, and Li Shimin had also arrived.

"Pharmacist, I have a task for you today, which is to wait for my in-laws to come over. You also know that in-laws rarely attend such banquets. I guess I don't understand, and I'm worried that if you drink too much, Shen Yong will You have to blame me, and you, bring your in-laws today and let him drink less, and you should help block the toasts of others! Tell your in-laws in advance, don’t drink so much, don’t drink everyone’s toast, just be careful Generally speaking, for ordinary people, in-laws really don't need to drink!" Li Shimin told Li Jing.

"Okay, I understand, you can rest assured!" Li Jing immediately nodded and said, Wei Furong was a warm and kind person before, and he would not easily refuse other people's toasts.

Moreover, because of the incident in Luoyang, it is estimated that many people will come to curry favor with Wei Furong, hoping to get acquainted with Wei Hao, but they dare not go to Wei Hao's side, so they can only find Wei Furong, hoping to persuade Wei Furong , and they also know about Wei Chen, and know that Wei Chenshen likes Wei Furong, that's why Wei Hao helps Wei Chen in this way!
Soon, they arrived at your Shu Palace!Wei Hao went over and handed over the gift list, and at the same time, the servants also carried gifts in. Wei Hao had just entered, and saw many acquaintances. Those people saw Wei Hao coming, and ordered them to say hello. Wei Hao also greeted them one by one with a smile. But not so enthusiastic!

"You bastard, can't you be more enthusiastic when people greet you? It's like someone owes you!" Wei Furong immediately scolded Wei Hao in a low voice when he saw Wei Hao like this.

"Father, what do you know?" Wei Hao said depressedly. The officials outside are all officials of the fourth and fifth ranks. In front of Wei Hao, they are not enough to look at at all. Already gave them a lot of face.

"Father just knows that when you reach out and don't hit smiling people, if you smile at them, even if they don't like you, they won't hate you!" Wei Furong continued to teach Wei Hao, Wei Hao had no choice but to nod, and waited until the time came. On the side of the living room, at this moment, there are some princes, dukes, lords, etc. sitting in it!
"Brother Jin Bao, this way!" At this time, Li Jing first saw Wei Furong and immediately greeted him.As soon as Wei Furong saw Li Jing, he also smiled and cupped his hands, and then he cupped his hands to those he knew and those he didn't know, and then he went to Li Jing's side, while Wei Hao was called over by Li Tai.

"Father, you just follow me today. Shenyong has his own affairs, so you follow me. Don't drink casually. You can drink no matter who is toasting you. Look at me when the time comes!" Li Jing pulled Wei Furong and confessed in a low voice. .

"Success, but, is it okay not to drink?" Wei Furong immediately looked at Wei Furong worriedly and said.

"Okay. You, you are too honest. What is Shen Yong's status now? A toast to you is a toast to him, you know? They are going to Luoyang. You don't want to drink casually. Follow the old man, they don't Dare to come here easily!" Li Jing said with a smile.

"Alright!" Wei Furong nodded, and on Wei Hao's side, Wei Hao held his son in one hand and Li Zhi in the other, and Li Tai sat beside him!
"Brother-in-law, it's not fun here, let's go to your house to play!" Li Zhi said to Wei Hao.

"Your second brother is getting married. If it's not fun, you have to bear it. After the marriage is over, you can go to my house to play tomorrow!" Wei Hao said to Li Zhi.

"Brother-in-law, is there anything else to eat?" Sizi looked up at Wei Hao and asked.

"Yes, a lot, and cold melons. I heard that you like eating cold melons. My brother-in-law's family still has them!" Wei Hao nodded affirmatively.

"Then go tomorrow!" Sizi said happily.

"That won't work. Tomorrow your second elder brother and your second sister-in-law are going to Lizheng Hall to visit the queen mother. How do you go out?" Li Tai said from where he was sitting.

"Smelly third brother, bad third brother!" As soon as Sizi heard that he couldn't go, he immediately scolded Li Tai.

"It's not that I won't let you go!" Li Tai was very depressed. This girl, who dares to be blamed by anyone, is stronger than Li Lizhi when she was a child. Moreover, just a few days ago, she talked about a box of hands that Li Shimin liked. I took those chess pieces and threw them at the fish in the water system. Li Shimin saw it with his own eyes. I was so distressed, but I already threw them away. I can’t scold her. I scold her. Cry for you!
"Hmph, let's go!" Sizi said, staring at Li Tai fiercely.

"Go, go, I'm not the one to take you there anyway!" Li Tai said while pinching Sizi's cheek.

"Third brother, pinch me again, I'll bite you!" Sizi opened Li Tai's hand, and threatened Li Tai fiercely.

"I'm afraid of you!" Li Tai also teased Sizi on purpose, and also pretended to look at Li Tai fiercely and said.

"Brother-in-law, hit him!" Si Zi immediately raised his head and said to Wei Hao.

"Let your eldest sister come, if the eldest sister dares to hit him, I will beat him to the ground!" Wei Hao said to Sizi.

"You wait for me, when the eldest sister comes, I will clean you up!" Sizi said to Li Tai in a warning, and Li Tai said proudly:
"I'm leaving later, where are you going to hit me?" Li Tai continued teasing his son.

"Let eldest sister go to your palace to beat you!" Sizi continued to challenge Li Tai, Wei Hao looked very happy, because children are the most fun at this time.

"Bro Nu, bring me that!" Sizi pointed to the dim sum on the table and said to Li Zhi,

Li Zhi brought it to her immediately.Sizi picked it up and ate it. After eating for a while, it didn’t feel like fun anymore. It’s too boring here.

Those adults were talking and laughing, and some ministers wanted to come over to say hello to Wei Hao, but they saw Wei Hao sitting on one leg, and it was a prince and a princess. Who dares to come over, Wei Hao will stand up at that time To return the gift, the two of them need to be put down, which caused the two of them to be unhappy, and they must be dealt with.

So those people glanced at Wei Hao's side from time to time, hoping that Wei Hao could let go of those two children, especially the head of the aristocratic family. They were also sitting in the living room at the moment. They had always wanted to talk to Wei Hao before. But Wei Hao didn't pay attention to them at all. Now that he finally had such an opportunity, it would be good to inquire about them, but no one dared.

"Brother-in-law, it's not fun here!" Sizi looked up at Wei Hao and asked.

"Then what should we do? Where are we going to play?" Wei Hao looked down at Sizi and asked.

"How about we go out?" Si Zi then suggested.

"It's going to be dark soon, and it's not fun outside!" Wei Hao shook his head and said, marriages in Tang Dynasty are held at night, or how to put it, after the worship, they will be sent to the bridal chamber.

At this time, Su Mei came over and saw Wei Hao hugging the two of them, so she walked over.

"Shen Yong! Are you sitting here?" Su Mei came over with a smile, and Wei Hao wanted to stand up.

"No, you don't need to stand up, Si Zi and Si Nu will have to work hard for you, you two must be obedient!" Su Mei said to Li Zhi and Si Zi.

"Of course we are obedient!" Sizi looked at Su Mei and said, Su Mei immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Sizi is the most obedient!"

Originally he wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Tai here, he couldn't say anything, so he said a few words and left.
While Wei Hao continued to sit there with the child in his arms, the others were in a hurry, thinking, you, a duke, hide here to hold the child, and you don’t come over to chat with the ministers, but no one can say no Come on, these two children are prince and princess!

"Well, where's Shenyong?" Li Shimin went to the living room after finishing his work. After chatting with Wei Furong for a few words, he didn't find Wei Hao, so he asked.

"Then, did you see it? It's over there!" Wei Furong immediately pointed to Wei Hao who was holding the two children in the corner.

"Hey, boy, I said that today, I Nu and Si Zi are so quiet, and they didn't cause trouble for me. It turned out that Shen Yong was hugging me. My in-laws, you don't know that Xi Nu and Si Zi like Shen Yong the most! Li Shimin looked at it, smiled and said to Wei Furong, then waved to Wei Hao and shouted: "Shen Yong, come here, come here with the two of them in your arms!"

"Okay!" Wei Hao heard it and knew that he couldn't hide, so he picked up the two of them at once. Li Zhi was actually very fat, but to Wei Hao, this weight was nothing.

"Father!" Wei Hao and the two of them called Li Shimin together.

"You two little guys, come down, you're already so big, come down and play by yourself!" Li Shimin said to Li Zhi and Sizi.

"No!" Sizi immediately put his arms around Wei Hao's neck, while Li Zhi got down.

"It's okay, it's not tiring to hold it!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"You boy!" Li Shimin smiled and pointed at Wei Hao. Originally, he thought that people from those aristocratic families and some officials would definitely talk to Wei Hao about Luoyang. He even said that in the hall, those people It might put pressure on Wei Hao to tell him about Luoyang's plan, and even asked Wei Hao to agree to their investment. Unexpectedly, Wei Hao suppressed this matter by relying on Sizi and Li Zhi. Leave those people helpless.

"Hey, I like taking care of children!" Wei Hao immediately said with a smile, Li Shimin sat down and asked Wei Hao to sit down as well.

"It is estimated that there is still half an hour before the welcoming team will return, and the banquet will begin then, Shen Yong, do you want to drink today?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao as he spoke.

"I don't drink, father, you know it!" Wei Hao immediately shook his head and said, Li Shimin heard it and nodded in satisfaction.
