"Mom, I heard Brother Yan say that he had a fight with Wei Xiong, the eldest son of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. He also said that although this man looks like a dog now, he was very bad when he was a child, and he will not do anything when he grows up.

Like a good person!" Xu Mingchen went to Lei Yan to inquire about the affairs of the two princes' mansions. He knew more than he did. "As for Prince Wu'an, Brother Yan said he didn't know much about it. He doesn't often appear in front of people.

"My character and temperament are all told by others, so it's not accurate."

"Mom, I also found out something. The Dingyuan Hou Mansion has a great business and is richer than the Wu'an Hou Mansion. However, the people in the Dingyuan Hou Mansion are a bit cynical. They all say what kind of master breeds what kind of slaves. I

I think the master of the Hou Mansion is not a kind person, and the people in the Wu'an Hou Mansion are relatively kind." The third son, Xu Minghan, also told Lin Shuran his opinion.

Xu Minghao didn't wait for his two brothers to elaborate further, and hurriedly walked up to Lin Shuran, raised his face and said with some pride: "Mother, the information I found is the most important, because I have personally seen the princes of these two houses.

arrive."

"See it with your own eyes? How did you see it?" Lin Shuran had not had the chance to meet the Prince of Dingyuan and Prince Wu'an, so how did a child like Xu Minghao meet them.

Xu Minghao chuckled, as if he was afraid of being heard by his brothers, he leaned into Lin Shuran's ear and said: "Mother, I dressed up as a beggar and led a group of beggars to beg for food in front of the two princes' mansions every day, and then I saw

Two princes."

Lin Shuran glanced at Xu Minghao up and down. This kid had the most tricks up his sleeve. He was not afraid that he would be found out or beaten up for pretending to be a beggar. He pretended to be angry and said: "You will not be allowed to act like this in the future. If you are bullied,

what to do!"

"Mom, I'm the only one who bullies others. How can I be bullied by others? Don't worry. Just to treat my gang of beggars to dinner, all the money I saved has been spent!" Xu Minghao looked pitiful.

He looked at Lin Shuran sadly and said.

"Ghost clever, go back to your sister Chunxi and ask her to get you more money. If others help you, you can't let others not have enough to eat." Lin Shuran smiled and nodded Xu Minghao's forehead. This child

He is the most naughty and kind-hearted, perhaps because he was a beggar before being adopted by Xu Junze, so he is always very kind to those beggars.

Xu Minghao said gratefully: "Thank you, mother, mother is the best. It would be great if mother can make fried chicken again some time. I have already boasted to them, saying that the fried chicken made by my mother is the best in the world."

Yes, they are all very greedy!"

Lin Shuran deliberately said with a straight face: "Then I have to see if the information you and your brothers got is valuable. If it is useful, let alone fried chicken, I will make something more delicious!"

"Then which one of the two princes do you think is better?" Lin Shuran asked Xu Minghao with a smile.

Xu Mingchen and Xu Minghan both wanted no rewards, but Lin Shuran wanted them to have a share of the delicious food.

"I want delicious food!" Xu Minghao said without any politeness.

Seeing Xu Minghao's embarrassed look, Lin Shuran just smiled, saying that children are the least likely to lie and their feelings are the most genuine. Although he couldn't explain it, he already had a judgment in his heart.

Two days later, news came from the palace that the Queen Mother was going to have a vegetarian banquet in the palace to entertain Master Yunshan and other eminent monks. Officials of the third rank and above, their family members, and nobles were all going to attend. The Queen Mother even specially issued a decree to let Ding Ding.

Wei Xiong, the prince of Yuanhou, and Jiang Jingxu, the prince of Wu'anhou, attended this vegetarian banquet.

Xu Minghao nodded vigorously and said: "Mom, I have seen both princes with my own eyes. The prince Dingyuan Hou is good-looking and has a nice smile. When he sees a beggar in front of the door, he will also ask the servants in the house to give him a meal.

Let's eat. Prince Wu'an's face isn't that bad, but he's a bit thin and has a disability. He's a bit fierce. He asked his servants to drive us all away, but later he sent some money, which was enough.

We’ve had several meals.”

Xu Minghao frowned and thought about it seriously, and then said: "Which one is better? Well - I can't say, Dingyuan Hou Shizi looks very good, but his eyes don't smile, which makes people feel a little scared and uncomfortable. Wu'an Hou

The prince looks fierce, but there is no malice in his eyes. One looks good but a little bad, and the other looks bad but a little good. I can’t tell!"

Lin Shuran kept her word and quickly cooked fried chicken and various cakes and snacks for Xu Minghao and the others. She also specially made beggar's chicken for Xu Minghao's beggar friends and told them how to make beggar's chicken.

At the same time, he asked Xu Minghao to tell his beggar friends that the farm in the southern suburbs would take care of their food and shelter, so they could go there at any time.

So, she said to Xu Minghao: "Brother Hao, what you said is very useful!" After confirming Xu Minghao's behavior, Lin Shuran looked at Xu Mingchen and Xu Minghan again, "I am also very grateful for your help, and thank you on behalf of the princess.

, everything you found is very useful, so I decided to reward you, tell me, what do you want?"

"Sister, I heard that the Queen Mother specially ordered the two princes of the Hou family to come to the banquet?" On the day of the vegetarian banquet, Lin Shuran was taken into Concubine Yun's palace after entering the palace.

Concubine Yun nodded. She told Lin Shuran that the two princes had a fight in the palace, and the emperor was very angry. The queen had become more peaceful recently, and there was not much quarrel. The queen mother did not want to cause the couple to quarrel again because of this, so she took the initiative

He took over the matter and said that she, the royal grandmother, would be the one to decide Princess Xiqing's marriage.

"The Queen Mother wants to make the decision, so which family does she think the Qing Palace should marry?" Lin Shuran didn't understand the Queen Mother's thoughts like her sister Yun Fei, and she also wanted to find out the news for Princess Xiqing.

Concubine Yun saw her sister's curious look and knew that she was now close to the Qing Palace, so she smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is also in a dilemma. If it is for the future of Princess Xiqing, then the position of Dingyuan Hou Shizi's concubine is naturally the best.

Okay, but -" Concubine Yun paused for a moment, then continued, "Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law may be more important than the relationship between husband and wife. What the Queen Mother is afraid of is that Princess Xiqing marries into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the same as her current relationship.

Like the Queen, they are not so harmonious, and Princess Xiqing is the daughter-in-law, so she will often be wronged in the Marquis' Mansion. Mrs. Wu'an Marquis has a good temperament and is kind-hearted, and Wu'an Marquis is protective of her shortcomings. The Princess married her.

She would not be angry with her parents-in-law, but the prince Wu'an was not in good health and his temper seemed to be bad, so the Queen Mother was undecided for a moment and thought of asking the princess what she wanted during the vegetarian banquet today.

"

Lin Shuran also nodded. What her sister, Concubine Yun, said was that she lived her own life and managed her own life. Which one she chose would not regret it. It was hard to say at this time, which one Princess Xiqing would think was better.
