Difficult for a son-in-law

Feng Jingnan ordered the Bureau of Internal Affairs to choose a site in Kunming City to build a mansion, as the place where the eldest son, second son, and third son moved.

The three sons were getting older, and they were all married, and Ming Yi's sabotage of Ming Zhan's wedding in the imperial capital made Feng Jingnan even more determined: to distinguish the status of his sons and concubines, so as to show that his sons are orthodox.

Concubine Wei covered her handkerchief, her eyes turned into peaches, and she cried, "They grew up beside my concubine since they were young, and they have never been away from them for a day. Now they live outside, and they haven't seen each other for years. How can I live like a concubine?" .”

Feng Jingnan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's really a woman's family, why don't you see each other for years? When do you want to see them, just tell them and call them in. When the sons grow up, don't they always live in one place? In the past in the imperial capital , I left the palace to build a mansion at the age of 20, it was too late. Except for the prince, who can live in the palace for a long time."

"You always keep them in the mansion. In the future, Ming Zhan will marry and inherit the throne. Could it be that Mingyi and they will live in the palace and live under the same roof with their younger brother." At the end of the sentence, Feng Jingnan became a little more solemn and determined. .

Hearing the words "Ming Zhan inherits the throne", Concubine Wei felt even more sorrowful, she burst into tears, and sobbed, "Then we have to choose some proper servants."

"Their mansion can't be built in a short period of time, and the servants they need can be selected slowly." Seeing that Concubine Wei was really sad, Feng Jingnan persuaded, "They are only staying in Yunnan temporarily, and they will always come here in the future. Living in the imperial capital for a long time, Zimin will take care of you, so you can rest assured."

Concubine Wei's eyes were red with tears. She was already the mother of four children, but she had been pampered and well-maintained for many years. When she was crying at this time, she still had a bit of the tenderness of a girl.Concubine Wei said with resentment, "Whether it's uncle or brother, their brothers naturally have to count on His Royal Highness to take care of them." Feng Jingnan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "What do you mean? Ming Zhan is not stingy. For many years, even the concubine has never wronged you, could it be that you are still suspicious of their mother and child?"

Princess Wei's years of work finally paid off.

Even with Feng Jingnan's critical eyes, he thinks that Princess Wei has been in charge of the palace for many years and has acted generously, especially towards Concubine Wei. .

Concubine Wei's heart trembled, and she shed tears to argue, "My lord, don't wrong my concubine. If you think about it carefully, aren't they the sons of the royal family who are established in the imperial capital in Mingli? Only when the palace is stable can Mingli and the others be safe."

"Mingli and the others live in the imperial capital. When they see it, they will say that this is the elder brother of the eldest son. Who would say that this is the nephew of Marquis Cheng En?"

"The concubine is thinking about it, because the eldest son is the last among the brothers, Zilai and Mingli seldom play together. The prince thinks about it, fighting tiger brothers, and fighting father and son soldiers, the brothers should get closer. "

Concubine Wei and Feng Jingnan have been together for many years, and she can understand Feng Jingnan's temper a little bit, and said softly, "I don't know anything about the outside world, I just think that when I was at home, Zi Minzi Although Yao fights a lot, there is more intimacy than between ordinary brothers."

As a father, it is natural to want to protect all children.But among the royal family, this kind of thinking is simply extravagant, Feng Jingnan said with a calm face when he heard this, "You don't have to worry about these things, it's serious to take care of your body."

"My concubine knows."

Concubine Wei's words really touched Feng Jingnan's heart, so Feng Jingnan intentionally asked Ming Li and Ming Lian to help Ming Zhan.

When Feng Jingnan opened his mouth, Ming Zhan was startled.

A while ago, he was about to drive his son out to become independent, why did Mingli and Minglian get involved in the salt class again today.

Feng Jingnan said to Ming Zhan with a considerate face, "I think about it carefully. The matter of the salt class involves the tea horse trade and the border trade with Tibet. There are all kinds of things and they are extremely trivial. You only have Fan Wei and a few around you." , how can it be enough. Brothers who fight tigers, wouldn’t it be good to let the two of them help you?”

Ming Zhan looked at Feng Jingnan with a very strange look. He still can't judge what kind of psychology Feng Jingnan has and why he made such a suggestion.

Feng Jingnan sat at the top, and Ming Zhan pulled the chair under his buttocks forward for a certain distance, until he got close to Feng Jingnan, took a deep breath, and stared at Feng Jing with his eyes. Nan, so close to Fengjingnan that he could clearly feel Ming Zhan's warm breath, the faint fragrance of his body, and that hateful face with deep probing.Feng Jingnan frowned, and pushed Ming Zhan's face away, "Presumptuous, speak up when you have something to say."

"I'm very short of people now." Ming Zhan already had weight in his heart, he straightened his back, and said seriously and frankly, "The identities of the eldest brother and the third brother are very deterrent and will help me to a certain extent in my current situation, but I don't want to take that risk."

"What do you mean? Explain clearly." Feng Jingnan instinctively felt that Ming Zhan couldn't say anything good, so his face sank.

"This matter is not as simple as imagined. Even though the tea horse trade has high profits, those salt merchants are not willing to let go of the salt mines in their hands easily." Ming Zhan said, "The matter of the salt class involves Huge benefits come with certain dangers, and as you know, my brothers and I don't have a deep relationship."

Feng Jingnan's face turned dark again, Ming Zhan smiled lightly, "It's not a secret." Then he quietly looked back at Feng Jingnan, calm and composed.

"Then what do you mean, because you don't have a deep relationship, you won't have any exchanges and cooperation in the future, and you will never communicate with each other?" Feng Jingnan almost vomited out the leaves of his lungs in anger, and only waited for Ming Zhan to nod, and he was about to die. attack.

Ming Zhan shook his head, "They will become my weakness."

Feng Jingnan was so angry that he rushed to nothing, and choked himself on his back!Is there a problem with his understanding or Ming Zhan is not speaking human words, why can't he understand, and then said that the relationship is not deep, since the relationship is not deep, what does their life and death have to do with you!Or if something went wrong with the Ming Li brothers, Ming Zhan would love to hear about it!If Ming Zhan thinks this way, Feng Jingnan thinks it's normal.Back then he hated the first prince and wished he could let him die!

But, but why, brother Mingli has become his weakness again?

When Feng Jingnan almost wanted to split Ming Zhan's head open to study what was in this kid's head, Ming Zhan explained in a helpless tone, "If there is anything wrong with them, or if there is any danger , Someone will definitely provoke me. I don’t want to take this kind of risk if everyone talks about money and burns bones.”

"You mean that I don't have the right judgment, I'm easy to listen to slander, and I don't know right from wrong?"

"It's because I don't want to take this kind of risk." Ming Zhan said, "I can't guarantee their safety, but if something happens to them under my command, I can't get rid of it. At that time, even if the father doesn't blame Me, but this kind of thing will make me speechless. Even among the many speculations of future generations, I have to bear a bad reputation."

Feng Jingnan felt more than once that he should avoid dealing with Ming Zhan, otherwise he would lose 20 years of life.

Feng Jingnan endured vomiting blood and asked with a sneer, "What danger do you think there will be in being courteous and incorruptible?"

"I don't know." Ming Zhan added, "However, if the father insists on letting them participate, the possibility of danger will increase."

"What kind of nonsense is this!" "Isn't this obvious? Someone will attack me to achieve the purpose of attacking me," Ming Zhan said calmly, "You have always disliked me and thought I was not obedient, and the city government also Deep, full of malice towards the Shu brothers. Although I think you have great prejudice against me, but under this premise, if something happens to them, I will definitely be the first suspect. Whether there is evidence or not, this will affect My relationship with you."

"Then you think it won't affect our relationship now?"

"Now you will only think that I am selfish. If something happens to me, I will be given an even worse name."

No matter how cynical Feng Jingnan was, Ming Zhan was still there, and he calmly put forward the conditions, "They can come to help, but you'd better arrange the guards around them. I will try my best to ensure their safety, but in case If there is any accident, I will not take the responsibility." Feng Jingnan suppressed the anger in his heart, "If you don't do something wrong, who will hold you responsible! Or do you have ghosts in your heart!"

"Haven't you heard that it is a mediocrity not to be envied by others. I don't know how many people hate what I do now, and myself." Ming Zhan sighed and asked Feng Jingnan, "Do you know how stressed I am? Couldn't sleep with my eyes closed, and my hair fell out in handfuls. You are my own father, why don't you ask me if I have any difficulties, if there is anything I need help with, and how is my health? The eccentricity made me wonder if I picked it up?"

Just as Feng Jingnan was about to speak, Ming Zhan immediately added, "Don't you care about me at all?"

"You...you don't know what to do..." Feng Jingnan stood up abruptly, poked Ming Zhan's nose with his fingertips, nodded slightly, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Ming Zhan stepped aside to get out of the way, breathed a sigh of relief, and sent Feng Jingnan all the way to the door of the study, and said respectfully, "Father, go well." Finally, he sent the plague god away.

Feng Jingnan's palms were itchy, and he looked back at Ming Zhan.Those slightly narrowed eyes blinked, Ming Zhan pursed his lips, this old guy won't change his mind again, right?Looking up at the sky, Ming Zhan said with concern, "It looks like it's going to rain, He Yu, bring an umbrella."

Feng Jingnan didn't deal with You Zhan once or twice, even Feng Jingnan didn't think much about Ming Zhan, for example, when Ming Zhan was nervous, he would make the movement of pursing the corners of his lips, Feng Jingnan looked Ming Zhan up and down, Ming Zhan smiled.

He Yu brought an oil-paper umbrella, and Feng Jingnan suddenly said, "It's almost noon, come with me for lunch." "I have some things to deal with, it's still early, why don't I go to the king's father later?" Please."

Feng Jingnan curled his lips and smiled, "You can do the errands anytime, but your body is the most important thing. You look a little haggard these two days." In front of outsiders, this father and son have always been a loving father and a filial son.Feng Jingnan also touched Ming Zhan's face. To be honest, there is a limit to how haggard a teenager can be. What's more, Ming Zhan has always paid attention to sleep and nourishment. No, tender pinch out the water.Feng Jingnan really pinched it, really didn't see anything wrong with your health?

"Is there?" Ming Zhan touched his face, took Feng Jingnan's hand off his face with a smile, and said very sensiblely, "If the father cares about it, it will cause chaos. I think it's okay."

"Let's go." Feng Jingnan walked in front, Ming Zhan had no choice but to follow, thinking that the old man didn't know what kind of moth was going to happen again.

The king of Zhennan is the local emperor of this area, and the regulations of the palace are far beyond the regulations of ordinary palaces. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is beautiful. Feng Jingnan looked at the flowers and plants on the road, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

Of course, Ming Zhan is not willing to let Mingli and Minglian come in to take a share of the pie. As Ming Zhan said, this is not an easy task, but the more difficult it is, it means that once it succeeds, it will bring Ming Zhan more benefits.Before coming, Feng Jingnan was mentally prepared that Ming Zhan would not be happy.

No one is willing to let others share the food in his bowl, let alone Ming Zhan.

However, I seem to have made a mistake.Feng Jingnan almost gritted his teeth in his heart and scolded Ming Zhan for being treacherous. This bastard actually took the topic to a place where he couldn't touch it.

Feng Jingnan walked unhurriedly, and Ming Zhan told He Yu softly, "Go and tell Xiao Fan that the appointment at lunch time will be postponed by an hour. If those families are already waiting, how many copies will be delivered at noon?" Let them enjoy the working meal, and we will talk about things when I come back."

It seems that this kid is not completely dodging, the anger in Feng Jingnan's heart has faintly dissipated.

Feng Jingnan knew that Ming Zhan often talked to some businessmen these days, so he couldn't help reminding him, "Just listen to what those businessmen say, don't let them lead you by the nose. Tell them to go back if you don't have time at noon, and come back tomorrow." .You are polite and generous, and you still take care of your food?"

Ming Zhan laughed and teased, "Father, is the meal money so distressing?"

"Bastard." Fengjing walked to the south, and looked back at Ming Zhan, "Give up the tea and horses, the loss of the palace is not small, can you get back the tax you said?"

"Now we are just choosing two salt factories, and there is no need for the palace to let go of all the tea and horse transactions in a short period of time." Ming Zhan said, "Whether it is our palace or those salt merchants, we need a period of time to get used to it."

Pretty solid.Feng Jingnan nodded inwardly, and asked Ming Zhan, "Have you thought about which two salt factories?"

"It's not in a hurry." Ming Zhan glanced at Feng Jingnan, and asked alertly, "What instructions does your father have?" Feng Jingnan smiled, too stupid for being stupid, but clever for being so clever, he waved his hand and said, "Since the matter is Leave it to you, of course it’s up to you, as long as it doesn’t cause any trouble.”

"Trouble?" Ming Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Which aspect is the father referring to?"

"Looking at the tax payment next year, it cannot be less than previous years."

"If there is more, will you share it with me?"

It was the first time Feng Jingnan heard such words, he thought to himself, isn't this kid crazy about money?Because the person who said this was Ming Zhan, Feng Jingnan still said patiently, "This is all money from the palace. You are the heir and heir of the palace. What money do you want?" Now he dares to ask for money. Now, the next step is whether you want a house, land, or people... you have to live separately!

"Aren't you always clear about rewards and punishments?" Ming Zhan revealed a sly look on his brows, "I've taken a fancy to a different courtyard."

"Say."

"The palace in the south of the city is pretty good." Mingzhan Lion opened his mouth wide, and opened his mouth to ask for Fengjingnan's favorite place, "When this errand is done, I want to move to the palace in the south of the city. Look, brothers They all moved out, my sisters got married, and I also have to learn to be independent, and occasionally go out to live for a while."

If it wasn't in broad daylight and outside, Feng Jingnan really wanted to directly and violently deal with Ming Zhan. After walking a few steps forward, Feng Jingnan asked sullenly, "Do you know what the prince moving out of the East Palace means?"

"It's just that I go out to stay for two days occasionally." Ming Zhan smiled briskly, "Like my father, I also go to the palace from time to time."

"It's true, you live in the palace, where will I live in the future?" Feng Jingnan is of course not just this palace, even if he likes this one better, it's just a house.But Ming Zhan's attitude of wanting to move out is not a good momentum.

"Should we divide each other up? Don't mine belong to the father? The father's is also mine. I was afraid that you would feel sorry for the house and would not like to let me live in it. If I mentioned it casually, why did you miss it. "Ming Zhan showed a squinting smile, "Whether it will work or not, can you tell me?"

Feng Jingnan stepped on the cobblestone road, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He dared to guarantee his life. As long as he nodded, Ming Zhan would definitely publicize the news that "the father rewarded the palace". The water that is spilled cannot be recovered.

Furthermore, Ming Zhan always beat around the bush when speaking, this is not just a matter of a palace.Ming Zhan's move out will inevitably lead to an even colder relationship with Feng Jingnan.The current situation is that Ming Zhan is already the legitimate heir to the throne. Of course Feng Jingnan thinks highly of Brother Mingli, but Ming Zhan must have more weight.It is not a good omen for the son to move out of the palace.

However, if Feng Jingnan refuses, well, after a while you won't have to talk about being polite and honest, and Ming Zhan will definitely catch this slapstick, gossip, and nonsense.

Feng Jingnan turned around and patted Ming Zhan's shoulder, without saying a word, and continued to walk forward.

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree. It doesn't matter who we are with." Ming Zhan followed up with a smile, took Feng Jingnan's arm lovingly, and asked cheerfully, "What's for lunch?"

Feng Jingnan had goosebumps all over his body, and he wanted to pull his arm out, but Ming Zhan pulled him tightly, Feng Jingnan insisted on not pulling, Ming Zhan was still enthusiastic, "Someone sent me a few Gen old ginseng, I was just thinking about filial piety and making soup for my father to nourish my body."

Ming Zhan was rambunctious, asking Hou Fengjingnan's body all the time, which is called being attentive.So much so that Feng Jingnan had to think of an old saying: If you don't have anything to show courtesy, you can either rape or steal.

Feng Jingnan annoyed Ming Zhan, as soon as he returned to the room, he immediately ordered someone to pour tea for Ming Zhan, so that he could shut Ming Zhan's mouth.

Ming Zhan's mood can be described as floating to the sky, he is reluctant to part with another courtyard, Feng Jingnan is nothing but this to Mingli.

For a while, He Yu held a delicately carved mahogany box, Ming Zhan took it, and opened it for Feng Jingnan to see, "They are all old ginseng over a hundred years old, not bad."

Feng Jingnan glanced at it and closed it, "Ginseng is good ginseng, just like a box." It seems that this kid has collected a lot of good things.

"Oh." Ming Zhan was a little embarrassed, "Well, the box I sent before was not very suitable. It was inlaid with gold and jade, and it looked tacky. It didn't meet your father's aesthetics, so I changed it for you. good one."

Feng Jingnan snorted coldly, "Could it be that you kept it for yourself because it was valuable?" "It's nothing, you missed it."

"You were born by me, how can I not know you? Qian Chuanzi's head." Feng Jingnan quite looked down on Ming Zhan's money-loving philistine.

Ming Zhan said poorly, "Can you give birth to me? I was born by my mother." He had already unbuttoned his collar, revealing his snow-white neck, "It's so stuffy, it looks like it's going to rain." "Frivolous." Feng Jing Nan scolded, and reached out to Ming Zhan to fasten the buttons, "It's not proper."

"No one saw it." Ming Zhan muttered, Feng Jingnan was born in the royal family, and received the most rigorous etiquette training since childhood. The most basic thing is to dress neatly. Once I saw Ming Zhan in the garden in his courtyard at night. Wearing a short shirt and shorts to enjoy the shade, Feng Jingnan scolded Ming Zhan for half a month.

Feng Jingnan ordered someone to bring some ice, and what Feng Jingnan did next really made Ming Zhan feel numb.He began to inquire about Ming Zhan's errands these days in detail, and he didn't come to an end until lunch.

Ming Zhan couldn't help but want to laugh, Feng Jingnan took the chopsticks cold lettuce and put it in Ming Zhan's bowl, Ming Zhan laughed "puchi", shivered with his arms around the bowl for a long time, rubbed his stomach and said, "I'll just talk, Father, don't worry about it."

"How can it be done? You are an honest person. If you say it in your mouth, you must think so in your heart." Feng Jingnan didn't mind Ming Zhan's words, and said softly to Ming Zhan, "There are some things that I didn't think about. After all, you are It was the first time I was working as an errand, and I didn’t worry too much because you were doing things properly. I just found out today that you are under so much pressure. After a while, take a good rest, and Imperial Doctor Xuan came to check your pulse and prescribe some tonics.”

Ming Zhan laughed a few times, "I just complained in anger."

"Oh, I still have resentment in my heart."

Ming Zhan gave Feng Jingnan a sideways look, and took a pickled pepper chicken foot and ate it slowly, "Haven't you heard a saying that a crying child has milk. Besides, who wouldn't want to be the most important thing in the eyes of their father?" important people."

Hearing this, Feng Jingnan still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. When he glanced at the things in Ming Zhan's hand, he frowned, and held back a word: "You can't get on the stage."Ming Zhan didn't know where he got these things. If he likes to eat it, the people below are vying to please him, so every time Ming Zhan eats, Feng Jingnan will see this dish.

"I ordered the chef to cook soup for you, so you should eat less spicy food."

Ming Zhan smiled, it seemed that Feng Jingnan had already made preparations, even the soup was stewed, and he still said, "It's so hot, I don't need to drink stewed soup, it's time to have a bowl of iced plum soup."

Feng Jingnan secretly resented, I ignored you, you complained; cared about you, I didn't appreciate it, I was born to suck.Ignoring Ming Zhan's words, Feng Jingnan directly turned to Ming Zhan's reliable side, "I heard that the Zhou family didn't send anyone over..."

"That's not true, his family has a big shopkeeper in Kunming, I just haven't seen it." Ming Zhan smiled, "Business is what you want, and it's not business. What's the point? I heard that the Zhou family also After making some contributions, we must save some face for them, so that no one will say that our Feng family does not miss the old relationship. Is it okay for the father to deal with it like this?"

These days, businessmen are the last ones.

Although Feng Jingnan was not happy about the Zhou family's negligence, he also had the intention of tempering Ming Zhan. He always felt that this kid was going smoothly, so he didn't intervene.

What's more, Ming Zhan has a fierce temper, Feng Jingnan was worried that Ming Zhan would kill the chickens and monkeys in a fit of anger, but he didn't want to, he would give the Zhou family face like this.

"It's the same in everything you do. Use both soft and hard. If you are too soft, you will give people the impression that you are easy to bully. If you are too strong, you will hinder the discussion. You learn to master it." Feng Jingnan dialed Ming Cham once.

"Well, I will pay attention." Ming Zhan praised himself modestly in a slightly shy and apologetic tone, "However, you also know that I have always been soft-hearted. They don't even look like one."

Hearing this, Feng Jingnan's morning meal started to turn upside down, and he almost vomited.To be able to say such things, Ming Zhan's face is considered to be well-trained, dealing with such a shameless thing, he should worry about those businessmen.
