The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Mrs. Xu still doesn’t understand Ji Heng, he will immediately turn away the topics he doesn’t want to talk about, but Mrs. Xu doesn’t want to turn away, so she doesn’t want to let him go, “I’ve been guarding little Qi’er these days to see his illness. In this way, my heart feels like being cut by a knife. What kind of prince or emperor? I can understand that none of them is as important as his body. I think it's more important than anything else. I know you don't fully believe what Master Shenxin said, but you do, as a mother, as long as it's for Qi'er's good, I'm willing to believe it. So no matter what, please persuade me first Your Majesty, see if you can send Qi'er out of the palace to raise her for a while."

Ji Heng was still a little hesitant, because this was not something the emperor could decide on alone. It was related to the crown prince. The crown prince was not a person, but a position. The ministers also had something to say.

Seeing that Ji Heng still didn't answer, Mrs. Xu burst into tears, and held onto Ji Heng's arm tightly, "Heng'er, you have been in the southeast for more than a year, and there is not a single day when you are not worried about you, worrying about your food. How are you doing, how is your body, did you pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes, I am afraid that you will be sick, and mothers are like this. Why are you still hesitating here, don’t you want Qi’er to be well.”

Ji Heng sighed, and persuaded Xu, "Mother, it's my son's fault. I'll talk to the emperor about Qi'er. I'm just thinking about what Master Shen Xin said. He said that Qi'er doesn't have the emperor's life. If anyone else knows, if this kind of word spreads, it will not be good for anyone."

Xu nodded, "How can I not know the seriousness of the matter, don't worry."

Ji Heng looked at her tenderly, and said, "I will go and talk to the emperor. Mother, you have been exhausted for a while, and you are not in good health. Let doctor Weng come to see you and prescribe a prescription for Taiping. Rehabilitation is also good."

Xu said, "There is nothing wrong with my health. As long as Qi'er recovers and you come back, as long as I don't worry about your affairs, I can grow flesh all over my body if I eat a few more chopsticks every meal. Come out. Hey, people are getting fat when they are old."

Seeing Xu's sad look, Ji Heng knew that women are most afraid of old age, so he said, "Mother is not even fifty, so she is seventy or eighty, and many people have sharp eyes and ears. Besides, my mother is so beautiful." , and won’t get fat.”

Mrs. Xu said angrily to Ji Heng, "Going to the southeast, I learned to be smooth-tongued."

Ji Heng smiled and said nothing, Xu said again, "When His Highness the Crown Prince is well, I will go back to the mansion too. At that time, I came into the palace from the mansion. I came in a hurry, and I didn't explain anything. It's been ten days. I went back, and I don’t know what’s going on in the mansion. Your father probably knew that Qi’er’s condition was not good, so he didn’t say anything about it except that he sent someone to bring my clothes.”

Speaking of this, she sighed again, "You have to go back quickly and see your father, hey, he is getting old too. It's all about your uncle's family, and the emperor didn't know how to catch you Something happened to your uncle's family, or he wanted to punish the big businessmen in Guangzhou, so he was accused of treason, and everyone in your uncle's family was imprisoned. Your uncle's shop in Beijing has been closed. Yi Niang was also imprisoned, but I don’t know how the situation in Yangzhou and Guangzhou is.”

Xu only talked about the situation of the Xu family, for the sake of the relationship between her son and the emperor, she didn't say that she was refused by the emperor to enter the palace to see Yang Qi'er within a month.

Ji Heng is actually not very good at talking about this matter, he just said, "Mother, don't worry, I will talk to the emperor about this right now. No matter what, I will save my uncle and his family."

Xu asked again, "Then do you know what happened to your uncle's house?"

Ji Heng knew that the main reason why the emperor would act like this was that the emperor wanted to rectify the Guangzhou Shipping Department, and he would probably deal with the Xu family, and the fuse was that Xu Qilang hijacked him. After returning to Beijing, he had a discussion with himself about dealing with the affairs of the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Shipping, but Xu Qilang took him away, and the emperor became angry for a while, so he didn't think about anything else, so he directly let him deal with the Xu family's affairs.

Due to the sea trouble in the southeast, only the Guangzhou Shipping Department was opened. Maritime trade is a huge profit. There is a lot of oil and water here. The Xu family has controlled Guangzhou for many years. Back then, the emperor wanted to use the Xu family, so he gave it to the Xu family. It's because of the great greed. The Xu family has no intention of sharing the benefits here at all, and the tax deducted from this maritime trade is also too much. The emperor is probably full of heart to deal with the Xu family now. The Xu family is just a horse. Ex-cannon fodder.

Ji Heng replied, "Perhaps my uncle also does business with several pirate leaders, such as Wang Qi, such as Xu Tiehu, he is friendly, and these two people were the subordinates of King Wu back then, so the emperor was angry, so he ordered I condemned my uncle's family. But now that Wang Qi is dead and Xu Tiehu has surrendered, I'll go and persuade the emperor, and I think there won't be any serious problems if I come to my uncle's house."

Although Xu has a certain degree of political awareness, she knows very little, so she cannot make a judgment on Ji Heng's excuse. However, she has always known that Ji Heng is used to deceiving people, so she just doesn't understand Ji Heng's explanation. Believe it halfway.

The two mother and son talked in Xu's room for a long time, and when Ji Heng wanted to go out, he came back again and confessed to Xu, "Mother, I'm afraid you will leave the palace and go home before me. Except for a box of clothes, don’t move the things Dongnan brought back, there are many confidential things inside, the box is locked, don’t let others move it.”

After Mrs. Xu nodded in agreement, Ji Heng smiled embarrassedly at Mrs. Xu, "I left in a hurry and didn't bring any special products back. I'm afraid it's not good, and it's not good to see relatives and friends."

Having said that, he bowed to Mrs. Xu and said flatteringly, "So I would like to ask my mother to buy some special products from the southeast area. When the time comes, it will be considered that I brought them back and give them to relatives and friends."

Mrs. Xu sighed, "I know you have worked very hard, and your mind is not enough to think about the country's major affairs. It's fine if you don't buy them, but the same goes for those slaves. No one will buy them."

Ji Heng said, "When I returned to Yuhang from Wenzhou, I bought some, but when I arrived in Yuhang, I gave away my colleagues and subordinates. After sending them all, I was going to buy some in Yuhang. I didn't expect to receive a letter from the emperor saying that Qi'er was ill. That's why I didn't have time to do anything, so I hurried back. This is no wonder to the servants who followed me. They followed me with no credit or hard work, and they will all be rewarded, so don't scold them."

Xu said, "Of course I know this."

Ji Heng thought of Yang Qinzhi again. These days, he was so focused on his son that he couldn't think of anything else. Only now did he think of other things, so he couldn't help sighing, thinking that raising a child is really exhausting. And mind, it is no wonder that women who take care of their husbands and children at home are often more tired than professional women.

Ji Heng said again, "I have a friend named Yang, Xing San, you can call him Yang San, he is my distinguished guest, before I enter the palace, I asked a servant to take him to my other courtyard in the south of the city Stayed here. After my mother left the palace, let people go over to see if he has settled down well and if he has any other needs. This person is an extremely important person, and no one can let him be slighted."

After Mrs. Xu nodded in response, she said, "My surname is Yang, so could it be the royal family?"

Ji Heng quickly said, "No, no, don't inquire about his life experience, anyway, let someone take good care of his son."

Then he asked Mrs. Xu, "Uncle's family has an accident. Mother, it is very hard for you to run up and down if you want, and you have spent a lot of money. I don't know if there is enough for the family."

Xu sighed, "How could it not be enough? Last year, the emperor rewarded 5 taels of silver, together with rare and rare treasures, and also bestowed two hundred fertile fields a hundred miles away from the suburbs of Beijing. This year, there are various rewards. No matter how expensive the expense is, it cannot match the emperor's reward."

Ji Heng said, "I don't know about this."

Mrs. Xu said, "You don't know, but everyone in Beijing knows it. In addition to these large rewards after your meritorious service, there are also some ordinary New Year's rewards. The ones in the warehouse of Zhongzhengyuan were not confiscated for public use. Besides, there are few people in the family now, and they are just waiting for you to get married with brother Ying. Apart from the expenses of daily travel, there are not many banquets in the mansion, and few treats. Apart from the fact that your father raised a few powerful counselors who spent a lot of money, Brother Ying's wife's repairs are a lot of money. In addition, how much money can be spent, at the top of the day, you can spend 7000 to [-] taels a year. That's enough for these expenses, and besides, your father can get some subsidies back home, so you don't have to worry about the family's making ends meet."

Ji Heng said to Xu, "Father is really lucky to be able to marry you."

Xu sighed, "Which family's head mother doesn't worry about the family business like this, and I'm not outstanding. I just hope that you can get better."

Speaking of this, Ji Heng's eyes flickered, and he stepped forward and knelt down in front of Mrs. Xu, who was startled and wanted to pull him, "What is this for?"

Ji Heng said, "Mother, I'm afraid my son won't marry a wife and have children."

Xu was startled, "Why?"

Ji Heng said casually, "I don't know if my mother still remembers Lin Xiang, the eldest daughter of the Lin family's big house."

Xu thought for a while, then said, "Why don't you remember. But it's not good for you to call people by their boudoir names like this."

Ji Heng said, "The thing is like this. Lin Xiang came to the southeast this year, and later she came to me and became a soldier by my side. She is very skilled and agile, so she is very useful. I will keep her." By my side."

Xu said in surprise, "No wonder her family said that she went to the mountain to clean up a few months ago. It turned out that someone ran away and couldn't be found. She is a girl, and she went to the army. What's the matter, but you are like this." Confused, why didn't you send her back to Beijing, and why did you stay with her?"

Ji Heng didn't answer for a while, Xu Shi saw that his expression was different, so he whispered, "You don't have something with her, do you?"

Ji Heng shook his head and said, "That's nothing."

Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Her family is very useful in front of the emperor now, but she is not like a girl's family, she has no rules, and she is older than you, otherwise she is a good candidate. "

Ji Heng knew what Xu meant, he felt sad, and said in a low voice, "In order to save me, Lin Xiang was killed by bandits when he was traveling from Wenzhou to Shaoxing. The Lin family doesn't know about it yet."

Xu's expression was fine at first, but after hearing Ji Heng's words, she didn't react for a long time, and her face showed shock. Ji Heng said again, "She was injured more than ten times in order to save me. She bled too much and hurt her lungs, and she passed away in a short time. She said her mother said that if she didn't marry, she wouldn't be allowed to be buried in her family's ancestral grave. So I said before she died that I was willing to marry her and let her be buried in the ancestral grave of my Ji family. Due to the hot weather, her body could not be transported to Xinghua, so I burned her body conveniently, and I brought her ashes back .”

Xu stared at him blankly, before she still couldn't look down on Lin Xiang in her heart, now she was only sad, a girl who died to save her son, Xu's eyes were slightly wet, said, "In that case, what do you want to do? If you want to marry her, you probably have to talk to the emperor first."

Ji Heng said, "I will tell the emperor. Her ashes are guarded by one of my guards. That guard is called Lang Shang. You can send someone to him and you can take it back. Put it in my room first, and wait for me After we have agreed with the emperor, we will go to the Lin family to propose marriage."

Xu's expression was very complicated, and he just sighed deeply for a long time.

She is a woman with very clear grievances and grievances. Since Lin Xiang died for Ji Heng, he felt that Ji Heng should marry her, besides, everyone is already dead.
