Seeing that the prince said that he was a little vinegar bag, Pan Er pretended not to hear it.
Be jealous at the right time, the key is that he also eats this set, which is not very good.
"Brother Cong, what do you think the Jiang family wants to do? Want to give their daughter to you?"
The prince is staring at her top hair, are you asking this knowingly
"I'm not asking out of the blue, I just think Jiang Cheng is quite a smart person, why do smart people still do such old-fashioned things?"
These days, Pan'er can clearly see that the prince's attitude towards the Jiang family has gradually eased. If it is said that the prince was stunned by the rich of the Jiang family, and his heart was pierced, of course this is an adjective for Pan'er. In fact, the prince is just in front of her. There were some hints in the conversation, and he was extremely calm in front of people, quite like a soldier coming to cover up the water and the earth.
Now the prince's attitude has become extremely relaxed. Anyway, Pan'er has heard more and more praises from him recently about Jiang's family, and the occasional ridicule in the past has almost never appeared again.
The Jiang family's ability to do this shows that the Zhang family is extremely smart and knows how to balance the essence of revealing the rich and containing but not revealing. In other words, even if he reveals his wealth, he will make you treat him as normal, and even do some other things to make you feel that his usefulness is more useful than his wealth.
Pan'er believed that even Emperor Cheng'an's southern tour came to Jiang's house, he must have gone through such a mental journey.
You, a salt merchant, are richer than me, the lord of the world, do you want to bring trouble on yourself? But since he can sit in the position of Emperor Cheng'an and even the crown prince, his eyes will definitely not be limited to the little silver.
Let me ask, the world is yours, just like you have a big cake, you still care about the little sesame seed on the cake? Even if this little sesame is a bit eye-catching, but if this little sesame is of great use, that's another matter.
Pan'er thought of the fact that Emperor Jianping in his previous life never really reached out to touch the Jiang family from the beginning to the end, and there were even rumors that the Jiang family's backer was Emperor Jianping. He neither denied nor admitted this, but the reward to the Jiang family was not. At least, the position of the general merchant of the Jiang family has been sitting until the reform of the Lianghuai salt administration and the general trend, the Jiang family gradually declined.
In her previous life, Pan'er knew a little about the outside world because she wanted to compete for favor and succession in the later period. The Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to be full of flowers, but in fact, it seemed like a leaking sieve under the peaceful and prosperous world.
Wars in the north require military pay, small countries in the southwest want to invade from time to time, there are pirates on the sea, the Yellow River floods every year, either the east is dry, or the west is flooded. Emperor Cheng'an was extravagant by nature. From this southern tour, we can see that if he hadn't been used to extravagance, would the people below dare to do that
What he left to Emperor Jianping was not a wealthy country, but a broken ship that needed to be patched everywhere.
So these salt merchants are still useful, so the Jiang family is still useful, so the two Huaihe Rivers can't be messed up, so Emperor Jianping didn't do anything until his old age
Pan'er felt that he had learned the truth.
Here, the prince smiled slightly at Pan'er's statement.
"Old-fashioned? Old-fashioned but useful."
This unremarkable sentence made Pan'er immediately vigilant.
On the one hand, it is the prince's thoughts on the Jiang family, and on the other hand, it comes from his own origin.
"Could it be that Your Highness has moved his mind on that Jiang Qiong?" Her attitude was a little sad, as if she was saying that if you dare to say yes, she would dare to jump off the bed. But at the same time, he sighed secretly in his heart. First, he was confused because of the Su family, and because he was pregnant, he forgot about Pei Yongchang.
"What do you think of Gu?" The prince smiled and spanked her buttocks, then rubbed her for fear of breaking her.
She hurriedly climbed up the pole: "That means His Highness won't accept Jiang Qiong?"
The prince squinted at her: "He also said that he is not a jealous person. Today, he turned around and played tricks on Gu. Do you want Gu to take advantage of your thoughts?"
"How can I have any thoughts?" She said a little cautiously.
"Okay, you can take care of your baby with peace of mind. I will never accept the Jiang family's daughter. With Jiang Cheng's prudence, he will not send her up rashly. This must be because someone down there is being smart." At the end, The prince's eyes darkened.
Pan'er thought over and over again, but still felt that she should confess now. If she didn't confess now, she didn't know if Pei Yongchang had seen the prince these days... She once again spurned herself in her heart and relaxed her vigilance. It must be the prince's attitude that made her Not as comprehensive as before.
There were signs of this in the previous life. I think she was a very vigilant and careful person at the beginning, but later she was spoiled by Emperor Jianping and became more and more stupid, and she had to be watched by him in everything.
Emperor Jianping said this sentence to her several times. In fact, she did it on purpose. For an omnipotent emperor, since she is as smart as the princess and does not please him, then she should be a little stupid.
It's better to be a little stupid, he will stare at you if he is worried, and staring at you will become a habit, and he will take you in his heart. It's just that she was a bit out of control, but she got used to it afterward.
So Pan'er felt that it was all the prince's fault, that these symptoms from her previous life reappeared, and she became less vigilant, and now she still wants to make up for it.
"Actually, there is one more thing I forgot to say about myself." She sat up again, and said cautiously.
The prince saw two words on her face - guilty conscience.
As soon as he thought about it, he almost knew what it was, but on his face he asked, "What is it?"
"That's right, the person who bought the concubine and sent it to the Chen family seems to be a salt merchant. I didn't dare to ask the specifics at the time, but after I arrived at the Chen family, I heard a few words from the Chen family's servants. Pei, everyone called him Mr. Pei, and said he was the son-in-law of the second wife. I... concubine... I wanted to talk about it a long time ago, but I felt that this was a relative of the crown princess's family, and it didn't have much to do with concubine, so I said it Not to be self-indulgent, but now... "
"But now I find that I seem to be favored. It's different from before. The Jiang family wanted to send people up but couldn't get it. I remembered this. I was afraid that the Pei family would make articles on it, so..."
"Brother Cong, you are really smart, much smarter than me."
She jumped up all at once, startling the prince, and glaring at her to remind her not to pay attention to her stomach.
She showed an awkward smile, and shook his arm again to act coquettishly.
Originally, I had to remove my bun when I went to bed at night, but the dish was born slender, and once I removed the bun, my hair looked even smaller.
How can she be angry with her like this, besides, she still has a child in her belly. And the prince already knew about this matter, the reason why he didn't mention it was because he waited for her to mention it himself.
During this period, it is natural that there will be some doubts whether she did not mention it on purpose, or if she really forgot, or she will find a suitable opportunity to mention the Pei family in front of him.
It turned out that the little girl did not disappoint him.
Probably because the women around the prince are more or less connected with the court. The prince doesn't like his women to be too smart, but it doesn't matter if they are too stupid.
All in all, there is a limit, you can't be too stupid to annoy the prince, but you can't be too smart either. Those who are too smart are usually too assertive, so they stretch their hands longer and longer, and they like to pretend to be smart.
So the prince looks gentle, but he is actually not that easy to serve. This is probably the nature of the men in the clan.
And Pan'er has a good grasp of this speed. After careful study, the prince also knows that she is not so innocent and naive. From the beginning, she would tell him some folk things from the side, and this time she turned the corner because of jealousy. If he didn't want him to accept the Jiang family's daughter, he could know that she was actually quite smart.
But this speed makes the prince comfortable. It not only shows his own careful thinking, lets him know what you are thinking, but also makes him feel that everything is still under control. At this time, the prince who is in a condescending position in the overall situation will feel that it is not unacceptable even if he is a little cautious.
To put it bluntly, it means that it is in accordance with one's mind. When one's mind is in accord, everything is fine, and there is an explanation for everything. If it were the crown princess, I am afraid that the crown prince would have to think too much when she just started.
"The Pei family has been jumping up and down a lot recently, but the Jiang family has taken strict precautions." The prince said a few words, and skipped this incident.
Safe clearance.
Pan'er was relieved again, and once she was relieved, she leaned against the prince's arms again as if she had no bones.
The prince rubbed her waist, she was really a little Jiaojiao who didn't even want to do a full set of perfunctory. She is timid and loves to be coquettish, sometimes you feel that she does this on purpose, but in an instant she demolishes herself, making people dumbfounded.
"Does Your Highness plan to meet the Pei family?"
Tsk, it's not Brother Cong anymore. The prince secretly clicked his tongue.
"What are you asking this for?"
She said it very calmly: "I've made preparations in advance and thought about how to face Mr. Pei, whether to be cautious, or rely on myself as the crown prince's concubine and show off my power without giving him any face. "
The prince's chest trembled.
Still a pistachio. I don't know what's going on in her mind all day.
But the prince is willing to give her advice.
"You are lonely, so naturally you don't need to be wary of a salt merchant. Why are you not so polite to the Jiang family?"
Pan'er was speechless.
"When he was about to enter the palace, he stuffed me with thousands of taels of silver behind his back, saying that I would use it to manage things."
The prince was amused by her behavior and her words, and burst into laughter. There was a commotion outside, but no one came in.
"You are really worthless." The prince smiled and pointed her eyebrows.
"Isn't this cannibalism and softness of hands?" She said embarrassedly. She is very conscientious, she will not just take the money and do nothing, but step on others.
"If you take the silver, you can take it. You can afford his money," the prince said casually with a look of disdain, and the edge that belonged to the crown prince poured out a little. Treat him like the family is like, such people are sensible and know what to do and what not to do."
Pan'er let out a cry.
"You have to lift the shelf yourself, you are different now, don't worry about him." The prince was a little worried, and explained again.
"Just a little salt merchant."
"But since he sent you to Gu's side, Gu will see him tomorrow, as a reward for him."
The prince has always been proficient in using the way of the emperor.
Don't look at it just to see it, the Jiang family is probably in a hurry again.
He was disgusted with the people of Jiang's family to feel that they could be used, and he couldn't move for the time being, and it wasn't that he didn't have his own thoughts. To put it bluntly, this is a game of chess. All the arrangements of the Jiang family, and even every time the prince goes to banquets, goes out to gatherings to make friends with those literati and scholars, and every word the two sides say, are all playing tricks.
The Jiang family sent up recruits across the air. They must be humble, but not too humble. It seems that they are showing their rich hospitality to the prince, and they have called a group of literati to hold an elegant gathering. .
However, the prince was condescending, he saw the tricks, and his attitude could not be soft or too hard. Even if his mind changed later, the Jiang family would not be so relieved.
Seeing Pei Yongchang, he intended to use Pan'er's business as a reward, and also wanted to tell Jiang's family. I understand what you mean, but it's not only you.
It could be regarded as a wake-up call.
She didn't know about these things, and she didn't know how the prince met Pei Yongchang, what happened in the middle, and what the Jiang family's reaction was. All I know is that when Pei Yongchang was brought over to meet her, his attitude was surprisingly humble.
"Sit down." Pan'er pointed to the chair below.
The author has something to say: Well, a friend said that there were too many dishes in the previous chapter, so I deleted some of them. Moved a few lines that should have been in this chapter to the previous chapter, if you haven't read it, turn around and take a look.
Despise the slow development of the plot, starting from the southern tour, it was a heart-to-heart process between the crown prince and Pan'er. If there is nothing special, how can Pan'er become special from those in the East Palace after they return to the capital? In particular, it needs to be established a little bit. The prince is not stupid and sweet. He knows Pan'er's tricks in his heart, but because of Pan'er's skillful performance, he allows it.
Next, as soon as Yangzhou is over, the plot will come soon, don't worry.
