Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

On New Year's Eve, the reunion dinner in the palace was very lively. The family members who left the palace and the branch government brought their wives and children into the palace, and the prince who was separated from the palace started to get busy early.After the fourth prince greeted the empress dowager, he sat aside and accompanied the empress dowager, talking about what he saw and heard outside. When it came to the snowstorm, the empress dowager asked very carefully. , repeatedly said "That's good." The empress dowager patted his grandson's hand and asked him to go back to rest. The grandson looked tired, and he didn't know what kind of bumps the past few days had been.

Coming out of the empress dowager's bedroom, the fourth prince didn't have time to rest. Before he could sit down in his courtyard, he was greeted by his brothers and sisters. Some of these people were sincere and some were false.The fourth prince is no longer the straightforward person he was when he was reused by his father. He has learned [-]% of the crooked ways, but also has [-]% of them. It is not enough to deal with the old foxes, but it is enough to deal with brothers and sisters.What surprised the fourth prince was the eldest aunt's cousin, who asked about Wang Xiujin overtly and secretly. The fourth prince naturally wouldn't say anything. If you have to ask clearly, the fourth prince can only use the excuse of being tired to clear out all the people who came to visit.

After everyone left, the fourth prince found out that his son was not there, so he asked his relatives to ask him, and he found out that the son was under the care of his father, and the fourth prince walked quickly to the imperial study, one to find his son, and the other to follow his father. The emperor talked about his cousin, whether it was the eldest aunt's thoughts, or the cousin's thoughts, no matter which one should be, Wang Xiujin's marriage was the master marriage made by the emperor's grandfather, and his father also acquiesced in the court. If the cousin wants to take part, where will the face of the royal family be placed?

When we arrived at the Royal Study Room, the fourth prince was hesitant to talk about his cousin after he asked to report to him personally. His father was already having a lot of headaches about Daliang politics, and he was too tired to take care of such trivial matters.When the relatives came out to invite the fourth prince, the hesitant fourth prince entered the room before putting away the expression on his face.The emperor was fiddling with the emperor's grandson, not to mention that Wang Xiujin's game is not bad, it can sharpen the child's character. When he looked up and saw the expression on his son's face that hadn't put away, he opened his mouth, "This is another encounter. What's the matter?"

The fourth prince raised his head to meet his father's gaze, and hurriedly paid his respects.The emperor waved his hand and asked his son to speak directly. The fourth prince thought about it and said something. Who told him not to be close to the imperial concubine who now controls the harem? This matter can only be discussed with the emperor.The emperor frowned after listening to his son's words, "I will talk to the eldest princess about this matter. Even unmarried ladies from ordinary families can't ask casually about foreign men. How does the eldest princess teach you?" Li has a lot of dissatisfaction with the eldest princess, because the eldest princess returns to Beijing with a son and a daughter, and his downfall will be slowed down.

"Father." The doll who had been doing puzzles obediently did not open his mouth until the elder had finished talking, and greeted his father. He hadn't seen his father for a few days, and he thought about it. Although the emperor's grandfather treated him well, he still wanted to be with his father.

The fourth prince went over to pick up his son, and heard his father snorting coldly, but the fourth prince didn't care, let alone have the idea of ​​holding a grandson but not a son, his son loves whoever he doesn't.After staying in the imperial study for a while, the fourth prince abducted his son. The emperor watched his son take away his grandson, glared at his son, knocked on the table, and got up. "To see the Empress Dowager."

In the empress dowager's bedroom, the emperor saw the eldest princess, and asked the eldest princess if she wanted to marry her niece. Recently, northern Burma requested intermarriage. It happened that the vassal king's residence was not far from northern Burma, so he could get close look.After the eldest princess heard this, her face turned green, she pretended to be calm and said, "The little girl is young, not yet ready for marriage."

"Really?" The emperor drew a long voice, a very obvious voice of disbelief, which made the empress dowager look sideways.The empress dowager really didn't want to see the eldest princess, and she was not born from her own belly, and before she got married, she was very arrogant because she was loved by the late emperor. Don't think about it, who is as noble as her now.

The empress dowager raised her eyebrows, "Your majesty, I see that Yu Yin (the daughter of the eldest princess) has a good personality, gentle and generous. If it is a marriage, she is the best choice, and she will also be grateful for the emperor's kindness." Since returning Fu Xiaocai was honest and honest when he arrived in the capital, if the eldest princess didn't do anything, the emperor would find her unhappy.

The eldest princess swayed, her eyes flashed fiercely, but she quickly knelt down, not daring to say anything aggressive. She didn't know what her daughter did to attract the attention of the emperor. The current emperor is not the father who dotes on her. It's not the emperor's younger brother who shares the same mother with her, but he is decisive. Since he came to power, he has cleaned up several ministers one after another, even the queen and her natal family, let alone her who is at odds with the emperor.Today's day can't be based on the words of the dead husband, "The little girl is stubborn, and she can't take on the responsibility of getting married. I only hope that she can marry an ordinary family and have a stable life." I don't dare to think about marrying my daughter to a high-ranking official's son. Although she doesn't go to the court, she also knows some things about the court. The status of the eldest son can also guarantee a smooth life for the daughter.

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the eldest princess. He didn't call out, nor did he answer her words. He didn't believe what the eldest princess said.

How would people outside the palace know about the situation in the palace? The Li family gathered around the big table to cook the pot, no matter how tall or young they were, the children had to stand up to eat.The whole family is happy, except that after mentioning the matter of the court at the beginning, there is no further talk about the matter of the court, and that is the case. Li Sushan also kept those ministers in his heart, and sent someone to investigate after a few years. I don't believe that they can be as clean and honest as Mr. Wang.Li Sushan would rather suffer for himself than to want Wang Xiujin to be hurt. How could he endure those who bully him and hold him in his hand for fear of getting hurt.

After resting for half an hour after the meal, the whole family moved to the martial arts arena. Old General Li and Xu Changsun didn't have to leave the field this year, but the others had to fight to see if they missed training in the past year.The children rushed forward to compete with each other, and the three generals also rolled up their sleeves and left the stage, even the only girl of the Li family also changed into a different dress.Li Sushan accompanied his younger father and grandfather to watch, and from time to time, he would say a few words about which one has regressed and which one has made great progress.

The Li family is tossing and fighting each other?The Wang family responded to the preferences of literati. Master Wang brought his youngest son and eldest grandson to match each other. pastime.Every time he didn't meet, and met his father's sharper gaze, Wang Xiujin felt a sinner's sense of sight.Not counting the pairs, but there will be a poetry competition later, even the mother can write a poem, but Wang Xiujin can only pull his hair and look up speechlessly. He considers not to participate in any other people's banquets in the future, so as not to say anything about his background Famous family, if he insists on mentioning a poem or something, then it will be embarrassing.

Although there were only four people, they didn't feel deserted. After a while, after eating dumplings, they went back to each courtyard. Wang Zhiyuan was attached to his uncle and insisted on staying with him.Wang Xiujin directly picked him up and walked to his yard. After all, he was a child, but no matter how calm he usually behaved and acted like he didn't have parents, he would still feel a little sad when it was New Year's Eve.

Wang Zhiyuan really doesn't have the feeling that Wang Xiujin thinks, maybe he is still too young to know how to miss, maybe because he has been with his grandmother for a long time, and the relationship is also close, so he doesn't feel that he misses his parents so much, especially when he is still with the one he likes. By my uncle's side.Before reaching the yard, Wang Zhiyuan fell asleep in his uncle's arms. Wang Xiujin glanced down, pulled the cloak around his nephew, and took bigger steps, while the servant who was lighting the lantern was busy He quickened his pace and guarded all the way to the yard.

During the New Year’s Eve, several families were happy and some were sad. The families of the three ministers who ate vegetarian meals for the emperor were overwhelmed with sorrow. Since they learned that they were going to eat vegetarian dishes, they were busy buying vegetarian dishes. They were preparing to buy vegetables, but they found that they couldn't buy vegetables, because of the snowstorm, except for some small vendors, there was no one to set up a stall in the poor market, and the three families were very worried.

Except for some political enemies, no one would pay much attention to these three families, let alone the Wang family.On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Sister Liu took a few people, put the pot on the carriage, and the dumplings that had been made a long time ago, and drove out of the city.When Wang Xiujin got up, Sister Liu and her party had already left the city.When the servants paid New Year's greetings in the morning, they didn't see Sister Liu, so Wang Xiujin asked. After hearing what his mother said about Sister Liu's whereabouts, Wang Xiujin said that his mother was kind-hearted and more thoughtful than he thought.Sister Liu was rushing out of the city when the city gate just opened to deliver dumplings to nearby disaster-stricken villages.

Mrs. Wang responded to her son's praise with a smile. In fact, she didn't think of it, but the master suggested it. Letting sister Liu go is also because sister Liu is in charge of her son's restaurant, and it is also helping her son build a good reputation , so as not to make irresponsible remarks.

Everyone in the Wang family thought that no one would come to visit on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so they didn't think that the people from the Chun family would leave early. Yesterday, they received a message from the housekeeper that the old man who was in charge of the Chun family had an ugly expression on his face. Is it because you want to drag the whole Chun family into trouble by doing such a thing?They are related to the fourth prince, but the fourth prince is not close to them. Over the years, they have not contacted the fourth prince to avoid taboo, but they have not helped one or two. Now they have the opportunity to establish a good relationship with the fourth prince , was made out again and again by the daughter-in-law of the side branch, and lost his status more and more. Now he is still courting others because of such a woman, so the patriarch should not be angry.
