Section 313: The minister is frightened

If it were anyone, it would be impossible not to be nervous at this time.

"Empress, I am afraid."

Queen Guo nodded slightly, and it seemed that Liu An realized it.

There are three reasons why the queen can accept Liu Meiren’s advice. Liu An is definitely the first person to assist the future emperor and the only candidate.

Zhao You almost regarded Liu An as his teacher.

Moreover, Liu An is still young and has such a status in the court now. What about the next fifty years?

Zhao You's two companions are now, one of them is Fan Zhongyan, who is twelve years old. He has shown his extraordinary talent at the age of twelve. I believe he can become a Jinshi at the age of 17 like Liu An.

Another companion is Liu An’s younger brother Liu Yi.

Although he is young, he is an extremely smart child. His talent in mathematics is amazing and he is already known as a little prodigy in the business alliance.

Besides, the seventeenth sister of the Pan family, the daughter of a famous family, is well-educated. She has received several times better education than the daughters of ordinary noble families since childhood. The Pan family’s girls’ school is the top in the capital. Many small and medium-sized noble daughters want to go to study, but unfortunately the quota is limited.

Finally, let’s talk about Liu An’s sister.

He is young, but he has a name that overshadows Liu An.

Can eat it! Can make incense.

When you are young, you can tell how many spices you have used by blindfolding your eyes and tasting your barbecue once. You can tell how many kinds of flowers and plants you have used by smelling the mixed essential oils.

Such talent is famous for Bianliang.

So as soon as Liu Meiren's suggestion was proposed, Empress Guo didn't even discuss it with the emperor, so she asked Liu An what she meant first.

Let’s talk about two other reasons.

In Queen Guo's opinion, this is Meiren Liu showing her that she understands what her identity is. Although she wants to fight for a position in the palace, she dare not be disrespectful to the queen at all.

After all, the queen knew about the fact that Meiren Liu wanted to recognize her relatives at Liu Lang's house.

The emperor and Meiren Liu met and had been in secret for more than ten years, so Empress Guo also knew about this.

The last reason is that Liu An is too popular. If the marriage is true, those who are jealous in Bianliang City can only go home and take a shower and sleep. This is a kind of protection for Liu An.

When Liu An said that his minister was frightened, Empress Guo smiled: "Brother An, do you have any problems with the Sanxiang."

"No problem."

"Okay, if there is no objection to the three princesses, I will call on Princess Cheng'an to enter the palace. By the way, to be honest, what else do you hide besides sable skin?"

The latter sentence is like interrogation, but it is like talking to one's own family.

Liu An replied after a sigh of relief: "The rest are not very valuable, but they are novel objects. I will leave a key to the warehouse for the Empress. What does the Empress like? If the things in the warehouse are worse, I will find a way to do it for the Empress."

"Prepare a red coral for me, so it won't make things difficult for you. It's two feet and seven inches high, can it be?"

"Six months, give me half a year, there will be a certain amount."

"Go!"

"I'm asking for my leave." Liu An retreated.

After Liu An left, Queen Guo's face suddenly turned cold and her voice was very serious: "Before Mr. Liu's official reply, who dares to cut his tongue if he talks too much?"

"Yes." The palace maids quickly replied.

Queen Guo understood that if this matter is accomplished, she must nodded in three phases.

It is not impossible to force this engagement, but if the three princes don’t nod, there will be future troubles.

From the harem to the moon gate of the front palace, Liu Chenggui is waiting here.

After the two met, the palace maid who sent Liu An out quickly retreated and followed Liu Chenggui's eunuch to the distance.

"Uncle Liu, the Empress told You Geer about the marriage."

"Whose family?"

"My aunt, the seventeenth girl of the Pan family. Then let my third sister be a dowry."

Liu Chenggui didn't answer the conversation, just nodded. Then he turned around and left. He only needed to know what happened. Some things he could express, but he could not speak about this.

Not opening a word also represents an attitude.

I know this. If you have something to do, come to me, but if you have nothing to do, I just know it.

In fact, there is no need to explain in detail, everyone who hears this understands one thing.

It is said that Liu An’s third sister is a dowry, but it also depends on who is given as a dowry and whom to marry.

Zhao You is now King of Zhou.

After getting married, the seventeenth family of Pan family was the Princess of Zhou, and Liu An's third sister immediately became the wife of the country. Going further, they were the queen and the imperial concubine.

According to the Song system, the latter one is the princess, namely Gui, Shu, De, Xian, and Chen.

There is only one imperial concubine, the absolute second person in the harem.

Then there are nine concubines, nine concubines, nine beauty, nine talented people. Baolin, the imperial daughter, and the Cai girl each. But I have never heard of when this staff was full.

There were not many five concubines in the Song Dynasty when there were only a few beauties, but there were only a number of beauties.

After coming out of the harem, Liu An went directly to the Imperial Garden.

The emperor set up a tea party here, and the three princes have arrived.

Liu An entered and sat down after accusing him of his crime.

Before anyone could ask Liu An, he said first: "Officials, I will complain this time, the official has caused me to suffer."

Hahaha!

The emperor laughed to the sky, and he knew what he had done.

Liu An continued, "Fortunately, I was smart and captured my elder brother Pan Gun and Shi Baoxiao Sun to take the blame. Who made them stupid? When they heard the news, they wanted to see people. But they were discovered by their two sisters-in-law. Whether they were miserable or not has nothing to do with me. As the saying goes, fellow Taoists will die but I will not die."

This time, even the serious old lady Lu Mengzheng was almost laughing badly.

Kou Zhun slapped the table gently: "What a saying, "I'm not dead, I'm not dead, this is interesting."

Xiang Minzhong asked, "That's not okay, you're still complaining to the official."

Liu An stretched out two fingers: "Two thousand sable fur, I was discovered before I hid it. After I got married, I worked hard for a long time and finally saved some money. This time, while negotiating with King Liang of Liao, I used some small tricks and did a few business. I borrowed his hand to buy two thousand sable fur, and then... it was gone."

The emperor was stunned, Kou Zhun, who was laughing, was also stunned, and Xiang Minzhong, who was pouring water, was overflowing with tea.

Lu Mengzheng looked stunned: "Two, two thousand sables?"

"Yeah. Two thousand!"

"From the sable fur after the cold weather in the northern Liaoning region, after heavy snow covered the mountain?"

"Well, but there are still a thousand IOUs, and the Liao people don't have that many sables. Sables are rare."

After listening to Liu An’s explanation, Lu Mengzheng gently patted Liu An on the shoulder: "Sad to mourn."

But Kou Zhun said to the emperor: "Official family, you did make trouble for An Ge'er this time, and the loss is a bit big. An Ge'er is not like me. No one in my family cares about it. If you have money, you will spend it, and if you don't spend it. He... is different."

Kou Zhun tells the truth. His first wife has died, but now his second wife is his second wife.

The second wife, Song, was in charge of the family, but she did not care about Kou Zhun's salary, but only the income from Kou Zhun's original family property. Those incomes were enough to maintain all the expenses of Kou Mansion, so she never cared about Kou Zhun's salary.
