Chapter 954 Chapter 954: The family is unhappy, and the brothers are jealous (Part 1) [Asking for monthly votes]

Even though Xun Ding knew something 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 from this candy shop was rolled with a thick layer of crystal sugar, which was sour and sweet, and very appetizing. ” Brother Shaobai, you also have a taste.”

Xun Ding stuffed one into him without any explanation, and kept mumbling: “Alai loved to eat before, but after he got pregnant, he could only watch me eat it. There is a thirsty water shop over there. The most authentic The characteristics of Long Dance, Brother Shaobai also has a taste.”

Jimo Qiu was dragged in and out of various shops.

 Not long after, both of them were carrying large and small bags in their hands.

Jimo Qiu was curious about everything he saw: “When I came yesterday, Shisan pestered Brother Fang Liu and the others to eat and drink everywhere. I thought that was all Fengluo. I never thought there were so many lost pearls. Fengluo City, follow me. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before.”

Xun Ding smiled and said: “Where are you going? When I have time in the future, I will be my host and show you more fun things.”

 “You don’t even need to be on duty or accompany Alai?”

“Isn’t this marriage leave? I still have my field leave and clothing leave this year. Even if I don’t have any leave, Yaoguang Wei doesn’t have much to do… There is no war now, so I am free… As for Alai, she is better than me I’m so busy that I can’t find her every day.”

Gongxi Lai has not been sitting on his hands these past few years.

Although Gong Xiqiu left behind a fortune that she could not spend in several lifetimes, 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 started a business with these old people.

 At the beginning, it was just a simple collection of mountain goods.

 After making a profit, other tracks were opened up.

Even though she is pregnant, she has no intention of stopping: “However, she will be able to relax after getting married.”

Jimo Qiu’s tone became serious: “Women in the clan are not restricted to the inner house. There is nothing wrong with Alai doing business. Don’t you agree?”

“Brother Shaobai, please don’t kill a good person by mistake.”

Xun Ding wished he could raise his hands in the air and shout that he was wronged.

Sighing: “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. After Alai gets married, she will be my wife. Whether she is a civil servant or a military attache, she is a close relative of the family. They are not allowed to do business. If allowed, Kang Guo doesn’t know how corrupt he will be. Even if we don’t get married, Alai couldn’t do this originally. She is still the sister of the second brother. Although the second brother has no actual position in the court, But there was also a general who was in vain, but fortunately he got the permission of the king.”

Gong Xiqiu himself is not in Kang State and has no real power. Gong Xilai is his adopted sister, so there is 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 the 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 Gong Xi 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 intention of the king, there must be a deep meaning.”

Xun Ding smiled and said: “Yes, money, power, and influence. One of the three is enough to be successful in this life. 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 accommodation, watched the people go in, and then turned back to his home. As soon as he stepped up the steps, Si Yan came over and whispered, saying 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.”

Since tomorrow is the wedding between Xun Ding and Gong Xi Lai, 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. She softened her expression when she saw that nothing was wrong, but soon turned serious again and scolded: “You are already a father, and you are still so naughty? You are not at home. If you prepare well for your marriage, where can you go wild?”

“Of course I will accompany my elder brother to get acquainted with Feng Luo.”

 “Where do you come from, big brother?”

“He is Alai’s eldest brother.” Gong Xiqiu has been looking for his brother for nearly ten years.

Xun Zhen asked again: “When did brother Gong Xiqiu come?”

Xun Ding poured himself a large cup of tea.

 “It should have been yesterday.”

Xun Zhen glanced at her son secretly: “They came yesterday, so were you beaten by them last night?”

 Xun Ding: “…”

 His biological father has become more and more like his stepfather in recent years.

Xun Ding changed the topic stiffly, 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?”

Xun Zhen rarely brought her business emotions to home.

 “A little bit of both.”

 I don’t want to say more about the specific content.

Xun Ding was too sensible to get to the bottom of it. He just smiled and rubbed his hands, nervously saying, “Then, will the Lord come up tomorrow?”

Xun Zhen said quietly: “I will definitely come. Even if it is not for the sake of our father and son, I will come just because of Alai. You also said that Gong Xiqiu arrived in Fengluo yesterday…”

If others are others, most of them will think that Xun Zhen’s words implies that Shen Tang and Gongxi revenge are not common, but it has heard different content: “The meaning of the father, is it going to fight?”

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 Gongxi clan—even if Shen Tang didn’t show mercy, Gongxi Qiu would fight for her—but it can be explained from Xun Zhen’s perspective.

“Bei Mo can still understand, how can Gao Guo do it?”

“The news is being sealed at the moment, but it won’t be hidden for a few days. You will know by then.” Xun Zhen is very smart now. Once a war breaks out with Bei Mo, the Ministry of Revenue will cooperate with allocating money. , prepare food and baggage. It’s not that the state treasury doesn’t have this budget, it’s that 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, I’m not sure if I’m going to die in the evening.” 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 Gao State. 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.

On the surface, he wrote to Shen Tang to apologize, 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, he did not take any serious 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 are your plans?

  The war is naturally fought on two fronts.

 Coping 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. His inner anger was raging, but it was not vented. The atmosphere in the palace was just depressing. It wasn’t until the female official in the inner palace said that Luan Xin asked for an audience that she calmed down and said, “Let justice come in.”

Luan Xin, who was waiting outside the palace, slowly walked inside.

Shen Tang asked: “How is your leg injury doing?”

“Thank you, Lord, for your concern. The doctors at the Medical Department are extremely skilled. After their careful care, the condition has improved. However, after all, it is an old injury that has damaged the muscles and bones. It will still take time to cure it.” Luan Xin had a slight smile on his face. If you look closely at his legs, you can see that his movements are much more flexible than a few years ago. After the emperor and his ministers exchanged greetings, it was time to get down to business, “My lord, these are the news from the Kingdom of Gao.”

  In addition to the four divisions under the Civil Service Department, there is also a little-known special department that specializes in managing internal agents sent to various places.

 The communication between Neiying and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is unilateral.

 It will be bidirectional unless otherwise specified.

These pieces of information in Luan Xin’s hands are related to whether Shen Tang will attack Gaoguo and Beimo together, or whether to attack Beimo first and then Gaoguo. 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.
