Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Hearing that the first prince had annoyed the emperor, the fourth prince rushed directly to the first prince's mansion without even thinking about it.

After sitting down, he didn't even have time to drink tea, and kept asking the First Prince about the details of everything that happened in the palace.

Right now the First Prince is still in a state of confusion.

He was still laughing at King Li for annoying his father a moment ago, who knew that he also hit the muzzle of the gun with his back foot?

Seeing the fourth prince now, naturally he described what just happened to the fourth prince without even thinking about it.

When the fourth prince heard the eldest prince say something in a slightly aggrieved voice, "I just finished drinking the vegetable and mushroom soup and was about to talk, but my father angrily told me to get out...".

I just felt my forehead "bang bang" jumping straight.

He knew before that his elder brother was not smart, but he never thought that he could be so stupid!

Seeing Qin Sheng's dazed expression, not knowing what he did wrong, the Fourth Prince gritted his teeth:

"Brother Emperor, do you know what the season is now?"

The eldest prince didn't know why the fourth prince would ask such a question, so he gave the answer without thinking:

"Of course I know, winter is just after the Great Cold."

"Brother, is there any Xiaoqingcai in the manor now?" The Fourth Prince gritted his teeth and continued to ask.

"This is the season, where does Xiao Qing come from in my house..."

There is no need to think about this question at all, the eldest prince also has the answer without thinking about it.

Before he finished speaking, the First Prince realized that something was wrong.

That's right, where do you get the green vegetables in this season?

Then where did the little green vegetables he saw and ate in the palace today come from?

"Brother Dahuang, now you know why your father is so angry?"

If the eldest prince wasn't the brother of his own mother and compatriots, the fourth prince would simply turn his head and leave now!

King Li knew that he had offended the emperor and the four princes.

The eldest prince entered the palace behind, saying that he wanted to have a meal with the emperor, and the fourth prince also knew about it.

The fourth prince originally thought that there would be no mistakes if he had a meal with him, so he did not enter the palace with the eldest prince.

Who knew that it was just this thought difference, and now there is trouble!

Recently, because of the new gadgets in Prince Li's mansion, Emperor Father has always favored King Li.

The Fourth Prince knows that he is no match for the First Prince in these places, so he can only pretend not to know, and do things in a low-key manner, not seeking merit, but seeking

No fault.

As a result, now, the First Prince's Mansion can't even do without faults!

"Then what should we do now? Find some small green vegetables for father?"

The eldest prince is also a little panicked now, recalling all the things that happened during the meal just now.

Finally, I know why the prince came to serve him for a meal for the first time!This clearly does not want him to touch that little green vegetable!

But at that time, he was dazzled by the joy in his heart, and he didn't understand the deep meaning behind Wang Gonggong's move at all!

"It's the season, where else can Big Brother find Xiaoqingcai for Father?"

If Xiaoqingcai is so easy to get, why would Father get so angry?

"The little green vegetables from my father's place..."

Before the eldest prince finished speaking, he seemed to think of something and immediately silenced his voice.

Before he entered the palace, King Li had just left the palace, and he carried a vegetable basket when he went.

It is conceivable that most of the green vegetables from the emperor's place were sent by Prince Li's mansion.

It would be fine if it was someone else's, the royal family's face can be used anyway.

But if Prince Li's residence...

The eldest prince suddenly felt that there was no other way, and in the end he could only keep silent.

The Eldest Prince was worried about Xiao Qingcai, and Prince Li's Mansion was also discussing this matter.

Even Gu Yanshu was a little speechless after hearing the reports from his subordinates.

Born in the royal family and still the eldest son, it is really rare for him to be so indifferent.

Thinking about it, Gu Yanshu couldn't help looking at Qin Lu who was sitting not far away:

"The eldest prince was so... naive before?"

From Gu Yanshu's pause, it can be seen that Gu Yanshu originally wanted to use another word, such as "stupid", but in the end he was concerned that the eldest prince is Qin Lu's eldest brother, so he finally changed to a more polite word.

Qin Lu also felt that what the eldest prince did today was simply out of standard. After a moment of silence, he still gave his evaluation:

"Brother Da Huang was not considered intelligent when he was young, but he still had the appearance of a man."

But Qin Lu's evaluation was extremely pertinent.

The eldest prince couldn't be said to be smart when he was young.

Among the brothers, the first prince is inferior to the third prince in martial arts, inferior to the fourth prince in writing, inferior to the fifth prince in conduct, and only mediocre in all aspects.

It's just that although the eldest prince can't be said to be smart, he can't be said to be stupid either.

The eldest prince is now able to sit on an equal footing with Qin Lu, and is considered by the courtiers to be one of the most promising princes for the position of crown prince, and he also has his own merits

Office.

First, the eldest prince is the eldest son.

Now the position in the middle palace is vacant, the emperor has no sons, and the princes are all descendants of concubines.

So in terms of age, the eldest prince can be said to have taken advantage of everything.

Second, the eldest prince's biological mother, that is, the imperial concubine, has a good family background.

The imperial concubine is from the Duke Ning's mansion, and her ancestors once produced four or five first-rank officials.

Don't say far, just say near.

Before Mr. Pei, Tianqi's chief assistant was from Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

Although the noble concubine's biological father was mediocre and hadn't shown much in recent years, he is also a second-rank official in the court now.

Now many courtiers who follow the First Prince, such as Hubu Shangshu, used to be the old department of Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

Thirdly, it is because of the fourth prince.

Among the several princes, the one who studies the fastest and has the highest attainment in literature is the fourth prince.

Even Qin Lu couldn't match this point.

And the fourth prince, as the younger brother of the eldest prince and his mother, has been assisting the eldest prince with all his heart.

Rather than saying that the ministers are optimistic about the eldest prince, it is better to say that the ministers are optimistic about the eldest prince who is assisted by the fourth prince.

In addition, there is another most important reason.

That was the one with the most mediocre talent among the same few princes before he ascended the throne today, but the one sitting on the dragon chair now is the one with the most mediocre talent.

Many ministers believed that from the perspective of father and son and similarities, the emperor might be more likely to have feelings for the eldest prince.

Among the several princes, the emperor was the most tolerant and kind to the eldest prince, which seemed to illustrate this point.

The combination of various factors gave the eldest prince the strength to fight Qin Lu.

Gu Yanshu recalled the recent encounters with the First Prince, and the bad thing that the First Prince did today, and maintained a very skeptical attitude towards Qin Lu's "middleman's appearance".

It's just that Gu Yanshu didn't say anything at the end.

After all, as an opponent, the more stupid the eldest prince is, the more beneficial it will be for Li Wangfu.

Although I lost the thrill of confronting an even-matched opponent, it is also a good choice to seek stability in things like seizing the reserve, whoever loses will lose his life.

Perhaps it was because the emperor was offended by Xiao Qingcai, and the eldest prince couldn't figure out other ways to make amends, so for the next period of time, he was quite peaceful.

There is quite a feeling of being a human being with your tail between your legs.

The eldest prince stopped jumping, which is undoubtedly good news for Prince Li's residence.

with the day

Day by day, soon after the beginning of spring, the pace of the Spring Festival is gradually approaching.

On the streets in central Beijing, the taste of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and you can see small vendors selling new year goods everywhere.

Qin Lu is a person who doesn't care about the sense of ceremony. For the previous Prince Li's residence, whether it is Chinese New Year or not, it doesn't make much difference.

But this year's new year, everyone in Prince Li's mansion knew that it should be different from the past.

After all, now, they have a new master in their house.

No, before the New Year's Eve, the concubine began to direct the servants to start cleaning the mansion.

The slightly old parts were re-polished or repainted under the command of the princess.

Red lanterns were gradually hung up in the mansion, and New Year pictures were pasted up, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year became stronger amid such little changes.

Rao has worked in Prince Li's Mansion for a few years, and has long been used to the servants who eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. At this time, they also began to have a faint expectation in their hearts.

In a blink of an eye, time quietly came to the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

According to Tianqi's rules, on the evening of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, all officials above the fifth rank in Beijing need to enter the palace to participate in the banquet in the palace.

Prince Li's Mansion is not exempt from customs.

On New Year's Eve, that is, New Year's Eve, Gu Yanshu also needs to enter the palace with Qin Lu to pay his respects to the emperor and all the ladies.

Only when the first day of the new year arrives can I get a moment of free time.

But according to the plan of taking care of Yanshu, the first day of the new year is the day when the first issue of this daily is published.

So after thinking about it in his mind, Gu Yanshu made an appointment with Wen Qingxiao, and finally decided on the publication of the daily newspaper today.

Wen Qingxiao happened to have the same intention, and did not refuse Gu Yanshu's invitation after receiving it.

In the end, the two directly made an appointment to meet in the small courtyard where Gu Yanshu met Wen Qingxiao for the first time.

After entering the small courtyard, Gu Yanshu observed slightly, and found that there was no difference between the small courtyard and the last time he came:

"Sixth Master Wen still lives in this courtyard?"

Wen Qingxiao also knew the meaning of Gu Yanshu's question, and a faint smile appeared on his face:

"Occasionally, I will go back to live in the scholar's mansion. I am used to the cleanliness. After all, the scholar's mansion is more lively."

After the Wen Ju banquet last time, Wen Qingxiao and Mr. Wen went back to the scholar's mansion together.

After going back this trip, Wen Qingxiao discovered that living alone for more than two years had still had a considerable impact on him.

Although the time spent with family is also very fast

Correspondingly, Wen Qingxiao still prefers the days when he lives alone and reads and writes alone.

The family members also saw Wen Qingxiao's discomfort, so they didn't force him to stay in the end, and let Wen Qingxiao return to live in this small courtyard.

He only made an agreement with Wen Qingxiao, asking him to take time to go back to his house every month to reunite with his family.

Gu Yanshu nodded slightly when he heard the words, expressing his understanding:

"Choose the way you like to live more comfortably."

The movements in Wen Qingxiao's hands paused slightly, and the smile on his face became slightly obvious:

"It's always very easy for me to communicate with Princess Li."

Gu Yanshu naturally knew why Wen Qingxiao said that, so he just smiled and didn't answer.

In Tianqi, parents are with each other, and there is no separation.

Like Wen Qingxiao, if the elders in the family are still there, but live alone in the house, even if everyone in the Wen family doesn't care, they will inevitably be criticized.

It is rare for someone like Gu Yanshu to bluntly say that he likes it.

How did Wen Qingxiao know that Gu Yanshu was used to the idea that in future generations, children would be able to be independent after they reached adulthood.

Apart from other things, it is said that Gu Yanshu was not even an adult when he accepted the test of the family's selection of heirs.

At the age of 17, he became the heir of the Gu family and took power. Afterwards, his parents directly threw the whole business on Gu Yanshu alone, and went to live freely.

In the words of Gu Yanshu's father, if you can eat what's ready-made, why do you have to work hard on yourself?

So living alone is not too common for Gu Yanshu.

Fortunately, Wen Qingxiao is not someone who will be influenced by other people's rumors.

If his heart was really so fragile, he would not accept Gu Yanshu's invitation to be the editor-in-chief of this daily.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wen Qingxiao took a notebook from the side and put it in front of Gu Yanshu:

"The first issue of Tianqi Daily, I decided to publish the teacher's article first, which will be more convincing to the public, and at the same time, it will be convenient to quickly establish the reputation of the daily..."

Wen Qingxiao started to talk about serious matters, and the expression on Gu Yanshu's face gradually became serious, and he looked down at Wen Qingxiao's notes in his hand.

Shoufu was a man of his word, and when he told Wen Qingxiao to go to his house the next day to get the manuscript, there was no delay.

Even after learning about the "Ten Years of Imperial Examinations, Eight Years of Simulation" section of the daily, I wrote a very specific article for it.

topic article.

If it is translated into vernacular that everyone can understand, the title of that article will be called "A Brief Talk on the Changes and Emphasis of the Imperial Examinations in the Past Ten Years".

Such an article, coupled with Mr. Pei's name, Gu Yanshu doesn't even need to think about it, but he can know the influence that the first issue of the daily newspaper will bring in Beijing.

In addition, it is the entertainment gossip section. What is the most discussed in Beijing right now?

Naturally, it was the two teahouses under Gu Yanshu's hands, as well as Tao Ranju.

In addition, it is the Zhou family, the original owner of this Yuncizhai.

After the Zhou family sold the last part of their property, they went directly to the First Prince's Mansion. I don't know what the Zhou family owner said to the First Prince. When they left, they married their daughter who was married into the First Prince's Mansion as a concubine Also took it out.

Afterwards, the family left the capital overnight without any news.

Whether it's the concubine who was taken away by the head of the Zhou family, or Gu Yanshu's actions to take over Yuncizhai, these are topics that people in the capital are talking about now.

After Wen Qingxiao asked Gu Yanshu and knew that Gu Yanshu was willing to sacrifice himself to make a daily report, he selected some of these things that everyone was interested in and prepared to publish them in the daily report.

As for political news, it is even simpler. The emperor issued two new decrees a few days ago.

Extract it, analyze and interpret it, and it will be a ready-made article.

In addition, it is strange talk and strange aspirations.

This is not difficult for Wen Qingxiao.

Don't you see that "A Generation of Famous Persons" has made everyone in Beijing rush to talk about it?

In the first issue of this strange tale, this "Generation of Names" was published!

Having said that, Wen Qingxiao's tone paused, and after a long silence, he spoke again:

"Your Highness."

"Huh?" Gu Yanshu raised his eyes and looked at Wen Qingxiao.

At this time, I realized that the expression on Wen Qingxiao's face seemed to be a little hesitant, and also seemed to be shy?

Just when Gu Yanshu was wondering why Wen Qingxiao had such a reaction, he heard Wen Qingxiao's slightly hesitant voice:

"I don't know Your Highness, but what is the follow-up to "A Generation of Names"?"
