Chapter 357 The Peaceful Rong Mansion (Please Subscribe)
"Brother Huan won another battle in the southwest. It was indeed the blessing of our ancestors!"
In the Rongqing Hall, the old lady said happily: "Brother Cong has also made great achievements!"
"The two brothers are so powerful in the southwest, I wonder if they can help the Prince of Nan'an County?"
Recently, because Princess Nan'an had some ulterior motives, she often came to the Rong Mansion to try and spy on her. The old lady felt lonely and lonely, so she naturally welcomed the old sisters to visit her.
It was also like this, and the old lady knew that Concubine Nan'an was embarrassed at this time.
For some unknown reason, Princess Nan'an must save the defeated and captured Prince Nan'an.
During this period, I made a lot of efforts and paid a heavy price, which made the old lady very sad.
It can only be said that the incompetence of the descendants has caused the old concubine to worry about running around even at a very old age.
The old lady also understood that the best way to safely rescue Prince Nan'an at this time was through peace talks.
I thought everything was going well, but unexpectedly, news suddenly came that Jia Huan had defeated Qian Xiangguo in the southwest. The old lady naturally understood that the so-called peace talks to save people had something unexpected happen again.
"Winning a war is a good thing, it's better than losing a war!"
Aunt Xue smiled softly and complimented: "The old lady is still very powerful. She has long recognized that Brother Huan and Brother Cong are not ordinary juniors, and they have the legacy of their ancestors!"
The marriages of the two children of the Xue family were all settled, and Aunt Xue was completely relieved.
Of course, the marriage of a pair of children was closely related to the Rong Mansion. When she had nothing to do, she resumed her old habit of checking in. Most of the day, she would either spend most of the day talking to the old lady in Rongqing Hall, or she would talk to Mrs. Wang in her yard. The parents are short-sighted.
She did not expect that her son-in-law Cong Geer would have made great achievements in the southwest, and that when he married Xue Baochai, he might have a title, and she would feel happy.
Naturally, I disagree with some of the old lady's ideas.
She had also heard about the old concubine Nan'an, who was very unpopular.
After all, as far as Prince Nan'an's garbage performance is concerned, there is absolutely no need to save him!
It's not like the Nan'an County Prince's Palace has no heirs for the next generation, so making such a big fuss can even be said to force him to bow his head just to save the defeated and captured Nan'an County Prince. It's not worth the gain.
If you think about it, you know that forcing an ambitious emperor to sign a peace agreement with a small country in the southern region is like a slap in the face. No one knows how much anger is being held in his heart.
If we must settle accounts today, the entire Nan'an County Prince's Palace may not be able to sustain it!
Therefore, Aunt Xue did not mention the old concubine Nan'an at all, but kept complimenting the old lady for having two great grandsons with great achievements!
To be honest, brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong are really up to date!
With the help of the two brothers, the momentum of Rong Mansion reached a new height.
Now, the two brothers have made great achievements again, and it is certain that they will be promoted and awarded titles!
Maybe, Rongfu's momentum will become even more powerful. Who wouldn't be envious after seeing it?
No, Ning Mansion, who was originally indifferent to Rong Mansion, has been getting closer to him recently.
What the old lady is thinking about now is how to help Jia Huan and Jia Cong to eliminate possible unfavorable remarks and attacks in the capital. As for the rest, what are they doing so much?
Besides, the old concubine of Nan'an is not a good bird. She even gave Tanchun the idea of getting married. I wonder if she has any brains?
If Jia Huan, who is in the southwest border, hears this, he may be ruthless, completely angering the Qianxiang Kingdom, and directly kill the defeated and captured Nan'an County King!
Hey, have you guessed some truth?
Aunt Xue suddenly shuddered and didn't dare to think about it further. It was too scary.
The old lady was mature and mature, so she naturally noticed Aunt Xue's thoughts, but she didn't think anything of it.
Aunt Xue has no friendship with the old concubine of Nan'an, nor does she have any contact with the Prince of Nan'an County. Naturally, she has no interest in things there. This is human nature.
There is no gossip about Nan'an County Prince's Palace, so what is there to chat about?
"What has Yuan Long (Xue Pan's name) been doing recently? When does he plan to marry Yingchun?"
The old lady asked curiously: "I haven't seen him send anything to Yingchun in recent times!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Aunt Xue's face, and she chuckled: "I don't know, old lady, but Pan'er went out on urgent matters not long ago and will have to travel for more than three months!"
"As for the wedding, Pan'er made it very clear that we have to wait until Brother Cong returns to Beijing!"
"fair enough!"
The old lady nodded with satisfaction and chuckled: "Yingchun has a good home. In the past, the old lady was worried that she would suffer a big loss if she got married because she was too weak-tempered!"
This is half true and half false. After all, Yingchun grew up in front of her. How is it possible to say that there is no emotion at all?
But the feelings are mutual, Yingchun's temperament is not pleasant, and the old lady is quite cold towards her family affection.
Otherwise, do you really think that the things that Yingchun Nurse did can be hidden from the old lady?
The point is, Yingchun’s submissive nature makes the old lady very unhappy!
In her opinion, since Yingchun didn't take the initiative to ask for help, the old lady would naturally not take action.
As for Yingchun really asking her to make the decision, whether the old lady will take action is another matter.
At present, Yingchun is about to marry into the Xue family. The old lady is quite satisfied and is quite optimistic about Yingchun's future.
For no other reason, Xue Pan didn't dare to treat Yingchun harshly. He didn't have the guts.
No matter how little attention Yingchun receives, she is still a girl from Rongfu!
Jia Huan and Jia Cong would not ignore her situation, and Xue Pan didn't have the guts to test it.
Of course, the old lady was only interested in Yingchun. The main reason why she mentioned her was to bring the topic to Xue Pan and Xue Yuanlong.
"Don't worry, old lady!"
Aunt Xue chuckled and assured: "Pan'er's temper is not bad, and he has not done anything unacceptable in the capital these years!"
"Besides, he has learned a lot from these years of following Brother Huan!"
“Yingchun’s temperament is very good. Once you get married, your life will definitely be comfortable!”
Aunt Xue's words are really not hypocritical.
In the original novel "The Red Mansion", Xia Jingui's temperament can be tolerated for the sake of his son, let alone welcoming the Spring Festival.
To be honest, Yingchun's temperament must be quite harmonious and peaceful when getting along with Aunt Xue.
Xue Pan is not an unreasonable person, and he has a lot of things to do, so he must not be distracted by things at home.
Yingchun has a good temper. At least she won't make trouble with Xue Pan for no reason, nor will she get angry because of the concubine's affairs.
"I heard that Yuanlong is working for Prince Zhongshun?"
The old lady smiled and nodded, then suddenly changed the topic and said: "It seems that they cooperated with overseas work. I heard that the matter is quite big. Is this true?"
"If I don't hide it from the old lady, this is really true!"
Aunt Xue did not doubt that he was there, and replied easily: "Pan'er went out in person this time to deliver a large amount of grain and grass supplies to Prince Zhongshun's men and horses outside the sea!"
"The old lady may not know that the sea is vast, and it often takes thousands of miles to travel from one place to another. The time a ship floats on the sea is measured in months!"
"It is a rare opportunity for Yuan Long to gain the attention of Prince Zhongshun!"
The old lady smiled and said: "I heard that Prince Zhongshun found a big island in the sea and planned to transport people and supplies there, and eventually it became a vassal state?"
After saying that, he looked at Aunt Xue with bright eyes!
"Let's not hide this from you, old lady, it is indeed true!"
Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "This matter is no longer a secret!"
"According to Pan'er, Prince Zhongshun not only has a large island off the coast of Goryeo, but also found a large island equivalent to a province in the Japanese country!"
This matter is indeed not a secret, it has been publicized long ago.
Since this year, the Zhongshun County Prince's Office has increased its investment in overseas markets.
The harvest was naturally quite impressive, as a large island was discovered near the country of Japan.
The Zhongshun County Prince's Mansion alone cannot afford such a large island in the outer sea.
Its size is comparable to that of a province in the Central Plains. How big is that area?
Although the weather here is similar to that in the northern part of the Central Plains, it is still a pretty good treasure land for the Zhongshun Palace. As long as it is developed maturely, it can easily become self-sufficient.
The Zhongshun County Prince's Mansion alone simply cannot do this.
No, a bunch of royal family members were invited to join!
When there are too many people involved, it becomes impossible to keep it a secret.
The news spread quickly in the capital, causing quite a stir.
Of course, the most exciting thing has nothing to do with the courtiers, but with the current princes.
I heard that Prince Zhongshun was summoned to the palace to talk about this matter.
As for whether the Supreme Emperor had any involvement, the news in the palace has not spread, and no one knows what happened?
The final result was that Prince Zhongshun agreed to let people from today join in.
As for the leadership, it has always been firmly controlled by Prince Zhongshun!
At this time, the Rong Mansion, as a top noble force, naturally heard the rumors.
When the old lady thought about it, it seemed that Jia Huan and Xue Pan were all cooperating with Prince Zhongshun?
She just wanted to find out what Prince Zhongshun wanted to do?
It's not that I have much curiosity, but that I have a natural concern and understanding of the royal family's movements.
"Yuan Long said, what are Prince Zhongshun's plans?"
The old lady asked out of curiosity: "It seems like this matter has been making a fuss for a while, right?"
"Indeed, Pan'er got involved a few years ago!"
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "As for Prince Zhongshun's thoughts, it's not that I can't tell you. I'm just afraid that the old lady won't believe it if I tell him!"
Seeing the old lady's attitude of listening attentively, she couldn't help but chuckle and said: "I heard from Pan'er that Prince Zhongshun is a very ambitious guy!"
"If we go by the rules in the capital and make a living right under our noses, no matter how well we do, it will be just like that. There is no way we can hold great power!"
The old lady nodded slightly, that’s exactly what happened!
Whoever becomes an emperor is not suspicious of his brothers and is wary of his brothers coveting the throne under his butt. It is simply impossible for him to take the initiative to give his brothers power in the court!
