Chapter 226: Together

What the emperor wanted to do, and those with knowledge in the court had guessed a few points, but when the cabinet was established and the Grand Secretary was established, it was to stop the emperor from doing anything randomly. How could the cabinet masters let the emperor depose the eldest son and establish the youngest son?

Looking at the third prince and the fifth prince, the emperor had just given him a title, and several adults in the court urged the third prince and the fifth prince to become a vassal. The emperor just hesitated for a moment, and the censors' memorials flew into the palace like snowflakes.

Where can he say his true intentions?

Before Qingyun and the emperor met, they had to take care of themselves, so they naturally could not force the emperor too much. If they pressed them, they would not care about them and insisted on making the seventh prince the crown prince. The elders of the cabinet would definitely want to be the eldest. Although the second prince was the eldest, they were not the eldest. There was an adult eldest prince above them. The Bo family was the one who suffered the loss.

The emperor did not speak, and Qingyun Bo did not speak either.

But it would be impossible for two people not to speak like this. Could it be that a minister still expects the emperor to surrender?

But Uncle Qingyun was not ready to swear to the emperor. He said, "The Fourth Prince is not young anymore. The fifth prince has been granted titles. After the Chinese New Year, he will set off for his fiefdom. The fourth prince is older than the fifth prince. Shouldn't he also be granted titles to his fiefdom earlier?"

In this way, the only princes who can succeed the throne in the capital are the eldest prince, the second prince and the seventh prince.

The eldest prince has long been called sick, and the second prince and the seventh prince are competing for the prince.

Good too!

The emperor thinks that it is OK to resolve this matter one by one.

He nodded and said, "Then let's start spring, let him and the third brother and the fifth brother set off together."

As for wherever I go, I just don't say it.

After all, this golden mouth was opened.

Uncle Qingyun felt that since the emperor took a step back, he could not continue to force him. When he saw that he was about to do so, he stopped and said, "Then I will ask the Fourth Prince if there is any place he particularly wants to go to."

He urged the emperor to put this matter into practice.

But the emperor was thinking about Ningpin's clan brother and said, "How is Yan Hao's case?"

Uncle Qingyun sneered in his heart when he heard this. He wanted to exchange the fourth prince for Yan Hao's case for the case, which was too cheap.

He said, "The three corps have not yet reached a conclusion. Do you think you should send a cabinet master to ask?"

If he could send the elder to ask, he would have sent him long ago.

The emperor was extremely angry and thought about it, and thought of the Minister of Personnel.

Whatever he wants to do, there is always someone who is willing to be a pawn.

The emperor no longer worried about this matter and waved his hand and let Uncle Qingyun retreat.

This incident soon reached Chen Luo's ears.

At that time, Chen Luo was trying out dishes at Wang Xi.

Wang Xi made roast duck.

Or because of the water and soil, the ducks and geese in the capital are better, but the geese here are not as delicious as the geese in Guangdong. She wanted to eat a roasted goose, but she couldn't grill the original taste. After searching for a long time, she found that it was because of the ingredients. She asked what poultry people in the capital like to eat?

Some servant said it was a duck.

She found someone to buy several and made several according to the roast goose technique. Not to mention, compared with the fat goose meat, the duck meat is tighter and more delicious, and the one made is pretty good.

She is going to make it the main course for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

"I think it's OK," Chen Luo said.

He likes to eat duck skin with sugar, which is particularly crispy.

Moreover, the candy from Wang Xi seems to be made by herself, snow-white, and it looks delicious.

Wang Xi was greatly encouraged and ordered the kitchen: "Take a few to the shopkeeper." He thought it was too late, and said, "You still have to eat while it's hot. In such weather, people will be frozen, let alone eat."

But she still asked the servant to take a few of them over and reminded the servant: "Tell me and then build a stove like this in our house."

She built a stove like her grandfather’s kitchen in Shuzhong. Her grandfather used this to bake naan. She made mutton kebabs some time ago, and thought of the stove at home, and baked naan to eat it with mutton soup.

The stove is just so well built, and the baked naan is not as good as the one in my grandfather's kitchen.

She was clearly watching the stove built by her grandfather urged the craftsmen...

Wang Xi couldn't help but say to Chen Luo: "It can be seen that everyone has something they can't bear to leave. My grandfather taught me all the skills of doing business to my father, and told me all the work on the stove, but he still hid it from this oven."

The longer Chen Luo and Wang Xi were in contact, the more they felt that the people of the Wang family were not simple, especially Wang Xi’s grandfather. Now, after hearing what she said, curiosity reached its peak.

He said, "Will your grandfather come when you get married? Didn't you say he is in good health? Do you go to climb Qingcheng Mountain or Emei Mountain every summer? Otherwise, we set the date a little further and pick up grandfather and grandmother come to the capital to live longer? The scenery and customs on both sides are different, so grandfather and grandmother will definitely be very interested."

Wang Xi also had this intention.

She ate a piece of roast duck rolled with pancakes, signaled Bai Zhi to take a hot veil to wipe her hands, and said, "I'll go to the study to write a letter to my grandfather, so that the servant can take it to the shop."

Chen Luo nodded, took out a box from his arms, and said, "This is the land deeds of two small farms in Changping. You will also give them to your uncle... Well, your brother, I will give them to you at that time."

It is difficult to buy a farm in the suburbs of Beijing. It is either a royal family or a wealthy family. It is all ancestral property and does not lack silver. How can it be sold? It can be said that every inch of land is valuable.

It wasn't a matter of her eldest brother just to spend money on her.

Wang Xi did not refuse, smiled and said, "Okay", handed the box to the ginkgo, and said, "When the time comes, let Chen Yu go and ask for money for my elder brother."

Her elder brother must have been worried about her dowry these days.

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s better not to be polite to him, this is what the family looks like.

Wang Xi pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you want to give a few roast ducks to the princess to taste?"

There is such a etiquette when sending Laba porridge. You can give roast duck. Don’t say that the marriage between the two families has not been decided, but it is decided. It is not reasonable for the woman to marry her daughter and marry her wife. Unless the woman really doesn’t even want to be faced, she is not afraid of others saying anything. She will send her over.

She wanted to give it to her, of course she borrowed Chen Luo's hand to deliver it to her.

Chen Luo smiled and agreed.

It would be the best thing that Wang Xi can be harmonious with his mother. It doesn’t matter if we don’t get along, so we will respect each other. But Wang Xi is willing to show his goodwill first, and he is still very grateful.

However, Chen Luo had not thanked the woman in his life, and he didn't know how to say it was good. So he helped Wang Xi renew a cup of tea.

Of course, Wang Xi could feel his kindness, but it was not a good thing to be guessed in everything and every moment.

It seems that Chen Luo still needs to be well adjusted and taught.

Wang Xi smiled and thanked her. She asked about the marriage between the fourth lady of the Tan family and the fourth prince: "Is it going to be held soon? I have to prepare a gift in advance."

With her friendship with Miss Tan Si, Miss Tan Si will definitely invite her.

Chen Luo smiled and said, "You have to prepare in advance. The Bo family hopes that he will become a vassal as soon as possible. Just watch it. He will definitely become a vassal earlier than the third prince and the fifth prince."

Wang Xi was not interested in these things and asked him: "I want to go to the house on the Liutiao Hutong to see it. Do you want to go with me?"

Her elder brother handed over the arrangement of six hutongshu houses to her, and she had to go and see them every now and then.

"Okay!" Chen Luo did not refuse.

After Laba Festival, it was the New Year, and there were crowds of people buying New Year’s goods on the streets. But when the New Year’s Day was over, merchants also had to celebrate the New Year. After closing shops, everyone started to be at home. The streets became deserted and it was hard to see anyone.

He said, "What else is not finished?"

He invited someone to quickly fill the house with me, and at most they could move something over there and live in.

Wang Xi said: "I have to ask someone to build a stove, and I have to ask the person who helps me build a stove."

Chen Luo was puzzled.

Wang Xi blinked at him and whispered in his ear: "If my grandfather came, he would have to spend the winter here. Then we encouraged him to bake naan. The stove was not easy to use, and he would have to repair it again. Then we will know why our stove was not well built!"

She was one head shorter than Chen Luo. Even when she was talking in his ear, she could only barely reach his ears. Her hot breath hit his neck, itchy, and her heartbeat seemed to stop beating.

Chen Luo suddenly felt a hot face, thinking that it would be better to take a few steps back, and was afraid that he would retreat and Wang Xi would misunderstand that he didn't like to speak like this. He endured his physical discomfort. After a while, the little maid served him and put on a cloak, and he and Wang Xi left the Yongcheng Hou Mansion through the back door.

The houses on the Liutiao Hutong were almost cleaned up. The few I bought were so that the mother and maid could clean the house. Wang Chen also came to paste Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu", and placed large flower vases and small plum vases with red plums. Although there was no one in the house, it was also prosperous and had a home atmosphere.

"Why haven't you moved here for the New Year?" Chen Luo asked.

He can come here to pay New Year's greetings.

Wang Xi smiled and said, "My elder brother said he wanted auspicious day, so he asked someone to go and forget about the day. He moved after the 19th day of the first lunar month."

It is mainly because Wang Chen rarely spends the New Year in the capital, and wants to talk to the shopkeepers and the guys in the shop to rest assured people.

"Then remember to tell me, I'll give you a congratulations, too." Chen Luo said, thinking that there must be those auspicious days before and after the New Year, but the Wang family must pay special attention to this after the New Year. He chose one on several auspicious days. In the future, he must follow the rules of the Wang family.

He came back from Liuzhao Hutong carefully drafted the etiquette he had to get engaged, and even went to ask the eldest princess whom he invited to be a matchmaker.

The eldest princess just came back from the palace and sat on the big kang next to the window, drinking hot tea with fox skin on her legs, and said with a smile: "I have agreed with the emperor that the second day of February will raise your head and give you a marriage, and then we will officially hire you. We will invite Lord Yu Zhongyi and Yu as a matchmaker, and their family will invite Jiang Chuanbo as a matchmaker."

Chen Luo was surprised.

Isn’t the Xie family standing behind the Wang family? How could he hire Jiang Chuan Bo as a matchmaker?

How could Jiang Chuanbo agree to the Wang family as a matchmaker?

Does Yongcheng Hou know about this?

And he also set the time for issuing the order after the Wang family moved. It seems that Wang Chen had already agreed with the eldest princess.
