Juntian University Chronicle

Xiao Ying's face flushed, and she threw herself into Su's arms: "Father always knew that I have fallen in love with Brother Gongsun since I was a child, and I had no choice but to give up when I heard that he was engaged. Not that there is hope again."

Su patted him on the back and sighed: "Even so, the Gongsun family is so powerful, how can they not care about your past experiences?"

Xiao Ying raised her head and said: "So, we must urge him to complete the matter of King Susu's proposal to marry. Daddy, if all the fiancés who have already been engaged are snatched away, Gongsun Qian will lose his face." , which aristocratic family in Beijing is willing to marry Kunxing to him, then only I will be the most suitable candidate."

Su Shi heard the words, pondered for a while, and then said: "My son's words are not bad. I will discuss it with your father at night, and I will go to your uncle's side to say something."

Xiao Ying showed joy, hugged Su Shi and said, "Thank you, Dad, Ying'er."

Su wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said with pity: "You are the noble son of a noble family. You are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to your appearance and etiquette. It's a pity that my son's life is miserable, and he was ruined by that thief... If it wasn't for that , even if you go to the palace."

Seeing him sad, Xiao Ying hurriedly took his hand and said coquettishly: "Father, Ying'er doesn't want to enter the palace. The gate of the palace is as deep as the sea, and Ying'er doesn't want to compete with the Sangong and Sixth Court for the rest of his life. Brother Gongsun has a good character." It's all very good, if you can marry him..." Xiao Ying lowered her head: "If you can marry him, Ying'er will get her wish in this life."

Su also knew what he was thinking, so she patted his hand in fear, and made up her mind to help him win this marriage.

In the side room over there, Xiao Zhi's attendant, Mrs. Qin, was sitting on the couch, and Xiao Zhen sat on his lower head, beating his knees for him.Qin accidentally fell into the water in his early years, which was the root cause of his illness. Whenever it was rainy, his legs and feet would feel a little dull pain.

When he was young, he was a well-known beauty in the local area. Now that he is nearly forty, he is well-maintained.Xiao Zhen looks very similar to him, so he is even more beautiful than Xiao Ying.It's just that he came from a bad background, a concubine, no matter what, can't overwhelm the limelight of a concubine.

Opposite the two, a servant was bowing his head to report.Looking closely at his face, he is often served by Su Yuan's side.

After finishing speaking, Qin took out a golden hairpin, rewarded him and said: "I understand, you have worked hard this time, you can go down first."

The little attendant put it in his sleeve without looking at it, saluted neither humble nor overbearing before retreating.

After he left, Xiao Zhen looked at Qin Shi: "Father, Xiao Er is crazy. He still expects to enter Gongsun's house?"

Mrs. Qin raised her temples: "Mrs. Su is used to being domineering, but he is a little ignorant. He thinks Mrs. Gongsun is easy to handle like us?"

Xiao Zhen covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Not to mention whether or not your Majesty agrees to the marriage proposal of King Susu, even if he agrees, the Gongsun family chooses another person, and there are many candidates, and they may not choose a Kunxing who has lost his virginity."

Mrs. Qin took him by the hand and led him to sit on the couch, and said: "It's a pity that in this mansion, we still have to rely on this idiot. I'm nothing more than that. It's just your marriage, but it can't be delayed any longer."

Xiao Zhen frowned and said: "The Su family never looked at us concubines seriously, so how could we have the time to worry about our marriage? It's probably too late, and hastily married a family that is helpful to the Su family. That's all."

Qin sighed and said: "Zhen'er, it's my father who hurt you. If you are a descendant, why do you have to be so careful and live by the eyes of others?"

"Father, what are you talking about? In this mansion, the Su family just took over the status and became the master husband. Who knows that my father is devoted to my father. If it weren't for this, how could my younger brother and I live without worry? Compared with other bastards I don't know how much better it is, so why bother to take it easy?"

"Zhen'er must not follow in father's footsteps. Even if you marry into a family with a lower status, you must be a righteous monarch." Qin tightened the handkerchief in her hand: "Then Su's hope is not good, we I have asked someone to look at it, and when there is a suitable candidate, I will ask you, father, to let my Zhen'er get married in a good manner."

"Father." Xiao Zhen was deeply moved. Although Qin Shi is only a servant, but because he has face in front of Xiao Zhi, Su Shi usually does not dare to take it too far, hoping that his marriage will be successful. A good result.

The Wang family went to Xishan, but could not meet the Queen Mother.After returning, after hearing what Gongsun Jin said about Emperor Qikun, he could only hold back, hoping that Ling Guang would not have to marry another husband.

When Zhong Kunyi entered the Zhangtai Hall, Emperor Qikun frowned, and the brush in his hand dripped ink on the paper without noticing it.

"Your Majesty!" Zhong Kunyi whispered, after he was granted the title of doctor, Emperor Qikun exempted him from entering the palace, so he went directly into the palace today.

Emperor Qikun didn't respond, he didn't hear it.

Zhong Kunyi had no choice but to get closer and increased her voice: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Only then did Emperor Qikun come back to his senses. Seeing him, he put down his pen, pointed to the embroidered pier at the bottom, and said, "What's the matter with Zhongqing? Sit down and talk."

Zhong Kunyi thanked En and sat down, and said to Emperor Qikun: "I follow the order, and I have been in contact with Shang Taifu and Chang Shi in the past few days. They are also very insightful, and these two entourages are all men of insight. Moreover, Kusu has strong soldiers and horses, and Kusu people are brave and good at fighting. Therefore, this minister thinks that our country can only make friends with Qusu, not make enemies with him."

Emperor Qikun sighed: "How come I don't know? It's just that King Susu is aggressive, first he proposes to impose additional taxes on Juntian, and then he wants to forcefully marry the son of City Master Tianxuan. If the widow agrees, won't the world laugh at me? "

Zhong Kunyi said: "The conditions proposed by the King of Susu are indeed unreasonable, but the place where he lives is indeed far behind compared with our country. But economically, they have vast grasslands and livestock, and they can be self-sufficient, while our country has been fighting for several years. , Large tracts of land are barren, and the economy urgently needs to be revived. In fact, we need to do business with other countries more urgently, so that our merchants can exchange for us more supplies. Strategically, there are Yuezhi Mountains and Lancang River. Our country has fought against them before. , the tie was made at the cost of losing a general and tens of thousands of troops, and now we can no longer fight."

Emperor Qikun said: "How can Zhongqing deal with it?"

Zhong Kunyi took out the bamboo slips from his sleeve and presented them to Emperor Qikun, "These are some ideas I have been thinking about in recent days, please have a look at them, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qikun took it over and went through it carefully.

After a while, he closed the bamboo slips and stroked his palms: "Zhongqing really has a seven-apertured exquisite heart, why did you think of using this method?"

Zhong Kunyi clasped his hands and said, "Teaching people how to fish is worse than giving them fish. Let's send people to camp to teach us how to weave and how to cast. I believe they have no reason to refuse this approach."

Emperor Qikun said with a smile: "The wonderful thing is that the products produced in the future will be shared with our dynasty's interests. In this way, even if they want to know that this is a means of making profits, they will probably be reluctant to refuse."
