In the middle of winter!

Capital City!

Xiao received a letter from Hou Yan Shouzhan, Guangning.

Coincidentally, Yan Yunge returned to Beijing from Fugui Villa and transported 100,000 kilograms of charcoal, plus more than a dozen trucks of vegetables, fungus, mushrooms, pickles, sauce, soy sauce...

The goods were sold in the warehouse, and Yan Yunge returned to the county lord's mansion.

When she heard the letter from the scumbag father Yan Shouzhan, she guessed: "There must be nothing good."

Xiao looked at the content of the letter, smiled, and said, "You have three more younger brothers and sisters."

When Yan Yunge heard this, he immediately said, "My father is really capable of giving birth. He is still a big old man and still has to pass on his family line."

Xiao angrily said, "Don't talk nonsense. He is your father after all."

Yan Yunge laughed twice, "My father is all the age of grandfathers, why do you work so hard? Is it cost to have children? Is it not a good idea to raise children all day long, but I am active in giving birth. Why don't he hear him calling him poor and saying that he can't afford to raise children?"

Xiao was amused and crying, "Your father called him poor because he wanted to raise soldiers. It only costs a few dollars to raise children, so how much money can he compare to the expenses of raising soldiers."

Yan Yunge rolled his eyes secretly, "My mother is too tolerant to her father! She asked me to tell me that she would directly fuck the scumbag father with three thousand guards in the East Palace."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao shook his head repeatedly, and couldn't help laughing, "Who is outside to get you angry, so angry?"

Speaking of this, Yan Yunge was angry, "The city gate officials changed people. They knew they were my goods and carriages and horses, but they still made things difficult for me. It took me more than an hour to pass the city gate. It was clearly intentional."

When Xiao heard this, he frowned, "Some time ago, the general of the city gate changed people. I heard that it has nothing to do with the Tao family. Why did he start to make things difficult for you? The general of the city gate was from the Tao family before, and he never made things difficult for you. The new general of the city gate dared to deliberately make things difficult for you."

Yan Yunge said: "I asked someone to ask. The new city gate general was promoted from the local area and went to the Ministry of War. The specific backer behind him is still unclear. On the surface, he was lucky and promoted quickly. In private, there are several statements about who placed him in the position of the city gate general, and none of them are reliable."

Xiao asked, "Does he make things difficult for others?"

Yan Yunge shook his head, "It is this what makes people angry. Just making things difficult for me and other people to leave goods, they will check it casually and let it go. I suspect that the new city gate general is eyeing me, and may even be ordered to make things difficult for me."

Xiao asked again: "How much tax did you charge?"

"Tax payment! All goods are paid according to the most stringent requirements, and as long as the Yongtai Tongbao and the copper coins issued during the late emperor were unwilling to be collected. If he had made such strict requirements on everyone, I had nothing to say. But it would be so annoying that he just made things difficult for me!"

Yan Yunge was angry.

The key is that she has not yet found out why the general of the city gate made her difficult.

She was sure that she had never offended the city gate general and had to deal with everything she needed to deal with.

From this point of view, it is very likely that someone behind the scenes instructed the city gate general to make things difficult for her.

Fugui Villa has a huge amount of goods every month, and car doors enter the capital every month.

If the city gate general makes things difficult for each time, who can stand Yan Yunge's teeth?

Xiao said, "I will send someone to investigate the city gate general and see who is making things difficult for you. As for you, don't go to the villa soon. All the matters will be left to the people below."

Yan Yun Song replied.

This is the only way at the moment.

"Did my father say anything other than the good news that he had a child?"

Xiao nodded and handed the letter to Yan Yunge, "You can read it yourself."

Two pages of letter paper are all about serious business.

Huh?

Yan Yunge looked surprised, "Did his father be dizzy? He actually wants Princess Yan Yun Quanshang? Do you really think marrying a princess is a good thing? Mr. Du doesn't persuade him either."

"Your father has always been arbitrary, and Mr. Du can't persuade him."

Yan Yunge asked curiously: "How does your mother plan to reply? Do you really want Princess Yan Yun Quanshang?"

Xiao thought about it and said, "Your Majesty has thirteen daughters, and only four of them have been named the princess. The rest are either princesses or the county lords. Several young people have not been enthroned yet. Among the four princesses, two have got married, one died, and the other is waiting for the name of the name of the Boudoir. However, this fifth princess who is waiting for the name of the Boudoir has a flaw, she is long and short legs."

Yan Yun sang "Ah" and was a little surprised.

She has been to the capital for several years and has attended so many banquets. She has never seen the rumored fifth princess.

I only heard that the fifth princess was shy and in poor health, so she was kept in the deep palace and never showed up in front of others.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be long and short legs.

Yan Yunge asked, "Have your mother met the fifth princess? Is her long and short legs born like this, or is she injured the day after tomorrow?"

Xiao said softly: "I know the fifth princess' biological mother, and she was once a friend in the boudoir. I didn't expect that she would marry Your Majesty. The fifth princess' long and short legs should have been caused by the day after she was young. It may be because she broke her leg when she was young, and she was seriously injured. The aftermath of the illness left behind. The royal family has always been very secretive about the fifth princess and no one is allowed to mention it."

Yan Yunge knew it, "In this way, Yan Yunquan will definitely not be able to surrender the princess."

"No! On the contrary, if Yan Yunquan is willing to marry the fifth princess, His Majesty should be willing to agree to the marriage."

Huh?

Yan Yunge suddenly realized.

The fifth princess has long and short legs and has never appeared in front of others. The marriage is probably a bit difficult.

There is a young official now, and he can also be called a young talent, willing to worship the princess and marry the long and short legs of the fifth princess. Emperor Yongtai will definitely agree to this marriage.

Yan Yunge said: "The emperor has so many daughters, including princesses, princesses, and county lords. Yan Yunquan can give up the princess, marry princesses or county lords."

Xiao shook his head slowly, "Things are not as simple as you think. At present, the unmarried princesses and county lords have poor biological mothers. Although they are princesses, they are not even as good as ordinary girls from ordinary families. They have no authority, and even their titles will be deducted. The emperor does not care about them. Yan Yunquan, who married them, not only will he not get help, but will also drag down his career."

I see!

Speaking of which, the emperor's daughters are quite suffering.

He holds the title of princess, but cannot enjoy the honor that princess should have.

The emperor didn't care about them, nor did he care about their life or death.

If the biological mother is not strong enough, she will not live as well as the decent palace ladies in the palace.

Princess Dingtao was also because of her good fate that she was reborn in Queen Tao’s belly, so that she could live happily.

On the contrary, if it is a prince, whether he is a legitimate or a illegitimate child, he will generally be well treated.

Emperor Yongtai is a typical example of favoring boys over girls. He doesn't care about his daughter and pays attention to his son everywhere.

Yan Yunge understood, "Mother planned to refuse her father and asked him to give up on Princess Yan Yun Quanshang?"

Mrs. Xiao took a sip of tea, "Following the content of your father's letter, I guess he actually didn't want Princess Yan Yun Quanshang so much, but he needed someone to reject him. If one day he regrets it, he can blame the person who gave him advice."

"Father is letting his mother take the blame!"

Too bad, too unauthentic.

"What is my mother going to reply?"

Xiao smiled, "He needs someone to take the blame, so I naturally can't let him do it. He doesn't refuse or respond, just pretend that he doesn't know about this and makes him worry."

Yan Yunge applauded.

...

The letter was sent out and the horse was sent back to Shanggu County with whips.

Yan Shouzhan was destined to be disappointed, and he failed to get a response from Xiao.

He smiled coldly and threw the letter aside.

During this period, he asked someone to inquire about the situation of the princes and had already learned about it.

Princess Shang, come back with a long and short-legged daughter-in-law?

Forget it!

Yan Shouzhan gave up this unrealistic idea.

He asked Mr. Du, “Can there be a family suitable for marriage in the capital?”

Mr. Du thought about it and said, "If there is, there is, there is no girl who is suitable for marriage."

Sorry!

Yan Shouzhan was worried, why was the marriage of his eldest son Yan Yunquan so difficult?

He punched the table, "I'll write to my wife again and ask her to arrange a marriage for Yan Yunquan."

Mr. Du was confused.

He opened his mouth and said carefully: "Mr. Marquis, it is not appropriate to hand over the eldest son's marriage to his wife! In fact, the eldest son now has an official position, and the serious court official is not difficult to talk about a marriage that is of equal status.

I thought that there should be many officials in the court who were willing to marry the Marquis. It was not necessary for the wife to come forward. The Marquis could try to write to the eldest son and the King of Master Wang, asking them to pay attention to the suitable candidates for marriage in the court."

Yan Shouzhan frowned.

He told his wife Xiao to take over Yan Yunquan's marriage, but he was just angry.

As soon as he said that, he regretted it.

Fortunately, Mr. Du was a qualified adviser and gave him a step forward.

He coughed lightly, "You are right. Dalang's marriage doesn't have to worry about his wife. She has to worry too much and can't tired him."

Mr. Du's mouth twitched.
