Prince Merry

Not long after, the shopkeeper of the restaurant came up.He is a chubby middle-aged man, about 40 years old, with a friendly smile on his face, holding a tray in his hand: "Mr. Xie is really a rare customer. This is the newly brewed sweet-scented osmanthus wine from the shop. I specially sent it to everyone. Taste it, and invite you to visit next time.”

A warm look flashed in Xie Jiusi's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Wang, there are no outsiders here."

Uncle Wang's face was indifferent, and he glanced around: "Young master, it's better to be careful."

"I know." Xie Jiusi drooped his eyelids, hiding the coldness in his eyes: "What's the result of the investigation?"

Uncle Wang said: "It's the Fifth Prince, the Liu family belongs to him now, Lin Xingyan was the one who made things difficult for you when his family's concubine provoked him back then."

Xie Jiusi frowned: "The Liu family..."

Uncle Wang sneered: "It's just a poor family who wants to climb high everywhere, but he doesn't know. He doesn't have a wealth background, and he doesn't have enough value for use. Such a person throws it away after use. As long as the means are cleaned up, no one will get to the bottom of it."

As expected, but also unexpected, Xie Jiusi smiled lightly: "Uncle Wang is lucky."

Uncle Wang sighed: "It's not a blessing, being able to do things for the young master is an old slave's job, but the son of Prince Pingxi... the young master came with him, will it be..."

Xie Jiusi shook his head slowly, and comforted him: "It's okay, Uncle Wang, don't worry, Prince Pingxi's son doesn't belong to any faction in Beijing, isn't he a meddlesome person?"

Uncle Wang frowned: "His reputation is not good, his actions are too presumptuous, and one day he will cause a catastrophe."

Recalling that vicious man, Xie Jiusi's eyes were blurred, adding a little mist. He couldn't see through Qin Zizhen, but anyway, these did not prevent him from liking him. , Prince Pingxi has a sense of propriety."

Uncle Wang didn't retort anymore: "It's good that you have a good idea, young master."

Hearing this, Qin Zizhen raised his eyebrows lightly. It seemed that he had a good opinion in Xie Jiusi's heart, but why did the Fifth Prince want to harm him? A Concubine Rong was born in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and the Fifth Prince was born by Concubine Rong. It stands to reason that they should be cousins.

Before Qin Zizhen could figure it out, Uncle Wang said again: "My lord, you must put your things away, and remember not to fall into the hands of the royal family, otherwise the general will not rest in peace even if he dies."

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, everything will disappear in smoke. After a lifetime of hard work, you should enjoy happiness. I won't use that thing in the future, and it won't fall into anyone's hands."

Uncle Wang turned pale with shock: "Master, you absolutely must not, you have nothing to be around, you are in a precarious situation, how can this old servant be worthy of the general's explanation."

"Uncle Wang doesn't need to say much, I'm sure. However, there is something I need to ask Uncle Wang for help."

Xie Jiusi's eyes were firm, and Uncle Wang hesitated to speak, knowing that he would not be able to persuade the young master, so he could only say helplessly: "Young master, if you have something to do, just tell me, the old slave will not hesitate."

Xie Jiusi smiled lightly and said calmly, "Uncle Wang, I am not reconciled, you make people..."

Uncle Wang was overwhelmed, his eyes sparkling: "My lord should have done this a long time ago."

Qin Zizhen was in a delicate mood. He found himself hearing a big secret, and couldn't help hesitating in his heart, should he add fuel to the flames?

Forget it, he won't do anything that doesn't do any good.He just wanted to watch from the sidelines, he wanted to see Xie Jiusi's methods, and hoped to hear the gratifying results.

Xie Jiusi quickly finished discussing with the shopkeeper without attracting anyone's attention. Today, Tianxianglou brewed new wine and gave it to all the guests to taste. No one would have thought that the famous Tianxianglou would actually have contact with Mr. Xie's family.

Qin Zizhen led Qin Che back slowly. Qin Che was holding a lot of small things in his hands, and his little hands could hardly hold them, and his eyes were red with anxiety.

Xie Jiusi was speechless, he had never seen anyone take care of their children like this.

"Come here." Xie Jiusi beckoned, and Qin Che walked over slowly. His pitiful big eyes made people feel distressed.

"Why don't you let the servants take things?" Xie Jiusi was puzzled, and patted Qin Che's head: "I'll help you."

Qin Che was overjoyed at first, but then looked at his father and did not dare to agree.

Qin Zizhen nodded slightly, and then Qin Che happily asked Uncle Xie to help him lighten the burden.

Qin Zizhen said with a straight face: "Next time, let's see if you dare to be greedy."

Qin Che nodded honestly: "Father, don't be angry, Che'er understands, and will definitely act according to her ability in the future."

Xie Jiusi suddenly realized that Prince Pingxi was teaching children, but such a teaching method had never been seen before. Which of the rich and powerful families nowadays do not spoil Alone to the sky, Prince Pingxi is exactly what he thought, different from others .

After returning home, Xie Jiusi bid farewell, while Chen Hao waited outside in a carriage.

Qin Zizhen didn't want to stay. Today they each got what they needed, Xie Jiusi used him to get rid of other people's surveillance, and he used Xie Jiusi to understand the situation in Beijing and China.

The current emperor has thirteen sons in total. The crown prince is the eldest son from the direct line. Unfortunately, his mother’s family has been in decline. Now the crown prince’s position is unstable, and all brothers stand out. Headed by the prince and the six princes born by Li Zhaoyi.

Concubine Lin has the support of the queen mother, and the third prince is so powerful that he has already threatened the emperor's position. Otherwise, the emperor would not be so happy when he broke out in Cheng Enhou's residence.

Concubine Rong has the support of the Marquis of Jing'an, and the concubine of the fifth prince is the daughter of Liu Xiang, and she is also a force not to be underestimated. He and the crown prince have the most serious fight.

As for Li Zhaoyi, Li Zhaoyi was born in a noble family, representing the lineage of the Qingliu. Most of the officials who supported the sixth prince were from poor families, and their only shortcoming was that they had no military power.

There is also the queen, the queen was born in the mansion of the general of Zhenguo, eight years ago in the frontier battle, General Hou lost the battlefield, and all 32 members of his family died in the battle.The emperor missed the old love not only did not punish the crime, but also named the eldest son as the prince to stabilize the queen's position.

Qin Zizhen sneered, the emperor was narrow-minded, and the general's house was defeated. It is a miracle that he did not punish the crime, not to mention that he also named the eldest son as the prince, which is definitely tricky.

Qin Zizhen is now very curious about what the treasurer Wang said...

Qin Zizhen pondered for a moment, and asked someone to call Madam Liu. The princess hadn't married more than 20 years ago, Madam Liu should have a better understanding of the affairs in Beijing.

At this time, Qin Zizhen's slap in the face has become known to everyone. The carriage of the Shizi's Mansion blocked the Xiangjun Prince's Mansion. The only way is that the King of Xiangjun does not recognize his grandson. What is brought must be delivered.

In short, within a few hours, there was an uproar in the Xiangjun Palace's denial of his grandson.

Nanny Liu complained secretly. She is a servant of the Xiangjun Palace. She thought it would be no good for her to return to Beijing. It depends on her to stand firm in the palace.

Unexpectedly, the son of the world is lawless, and he caused a big incident when he came to Beijing, and now he offended his family, how will he live in the future.

Hearing the son's summons, Grandma Liu did not dare to neglect, she is now terribly afraid of the son's moodiness, for fear that the whole family will suffer if she is not careful.

"The old slave greets the son of the world."

"Get up, and tell me about the past of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, starting from the beginning."

No matter what Grandma Liu thinks, she is very respectful on her face, and when she heard the question of the son, she hurriedly replied: "Oh, master, you are asking the right person, about the past of the big family in Beijing, old slave I know it clearly."

Qin Zizhen looked at her indifferently, Liu Mama didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said quickly: "If you want to talk about this Marquis of Jing'an, everything is fine, except for one thing. He has problems underneath, and his heirs are in trouble."

Qin Zizhen's eyes darkened, and he motioned for her to continue. At the beginning, he felt that the attitude of Jing'an Hou towards his son was very strange, so there was indeed something wrong.

Liu Mama went on to say: "Back then, the old Marquis of Jing'an had five sons under his knees, among which the eldest son and the second son were descendants of the first son. It was a coincidence that the daughter-in-law of the second son was the second lady of the General Zhen Guo's mansion, that is, the queen's relative. Sister, at that time Concubine Rong hadn't entered the palace yet, old Marquis Jingan was still alive, Uncle Xie was over thirty and still childless, women in the backyard didn't lay eggs, let alone concubines, not even a concubine's daughter, Lao Hou The Lord is anxious, the eldest son is the heir he carefully cultivated, how can he do without a descendant, how can he inherit the title..."

"It happened at that time that Mrs. Xie Er had a difficult labor and gave birth to her second son, so she passed away, so the old Hou Ye made a final decision to adopt this grandson under the name of the eldest son. If you want to say that this grandson did not live up to the old Hou Ye's expectations, that is A child prodigy, with extraordinary literary talents at a young age, Jing'an Hou and his wife both like it very much. And gave birth to a big fat boy..."

"In this way, the status of the adoptive son will be embarrassing. When the old slave left Beijing, Mrs. Jing'anhou just gave birth to a son. The old slave didn't know what happened afterwards. I only heard that the son didn't support him. Years are gone... His adoptive son also accidentally broke his legs five years ago. Fortunately, the queen took care of him to save his life, but that kid also had a hard life. My aunt is also the queen, and both sides are not happy, I heard that Jing'an Hou's mansion is now fighting fiercely, and everyone in the house is staring at the title..."

After Madam Liu talked for half an hour, Qin Zizhen gradually figured out the ins and outs. He thought that his background was deceitful, but he didn't expect someone to be more deceitful than him.At least in his memory, Qin Shizi was domineering and domineering. Except for his inability to make trouble when he was a child, he basically never suffered a disadvantage when he grew up.

But Xie Jiusi was different. His biological mother left early, his biological father was the second uncle, and his adoptive father and adoptive mother hated him to death.

It's all the fault of greed!

Qin Zizhen frowned and thought deeply. If his calculations are correct, there is only one explanation for the quarrel between the Marquis of Jing'an and the Second Household. The death of his son was caused by the Second Household.

Xie Jiusi is Erfang's direct bloodline. For the sake of the title, Erfang killed the eldest brother's own son. This is a very good reason.

Xie Jiusi was very wary of his family, and even the servants around him couldn't trust him, which showed that his life was not good.

Qin Zizhen secretly speculated that the Marquis of Jing'an knew the truth of his son's death and was very unwilling, so he simply broke Xie Jiusi's legs to avenge his son.According to Marquis Jing'an's mentality, no one should feel better about his son's death.

Otherwise, generally speaking, the elder brother has no heirs, and would only choose the son of the younger brother to inherit the family business, but the Marquis of Jing'an had no such intentions at all, and instead let the younger brothers fight among themselves, there must be something inside.
