On this day, the Liu family was busy with family affairs, and it was very rare to come to the Wang family's courtyard, saying that it was to see how the settlement was here, and if there was anything needed. Wang also wondered in his heart, what Liu said was just some excuses, it had been almost half a year since he came back, and he didn't see her when he first came back, and Liu didn't know which play he sang today.

The two concubines sat for a while, and Wang saw that Liu was holding the handkerchief tightly in his hand for a while, and then let go of it for a while, so he smiled and said:

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid there is something else to come to me today, we are all our own family, you might as well say anything directly, I will definitely help if I can." When Liu heard this, her face turned a little red, she had never been waiting to see Wang, but she didn't expect that one day she would have something to ask for, but she had to do it for her daughter.

"Brother and sister, I heard that you are very familiar with Mrs. Li of the Qi State Mansion. ”

"Yes, I've known Sister Lian for more than ten years. ”

"I wonder if Mrs. Li can talk to Concubine Shu?"

"That's naturally no problem, Concubine Shu and Mrs. Li are close, let's see each other once a month. Sister-in-law may as well say something directly. ”

"Brother and sister, you probably know about Qi Ying. ”

"I don't know what it is. When the Liu family heard this, they had to tell the story of King Shou's desire to accept Qiying.

"That's it!" Wang pretended to be surprised.

"This bell still needs to be Lingren, if King Shou can say a few words, Ying'er's situation will be much better. ”

"It's hard for us to talk about this Shouwang. I wonder what my sister-in-law's plans are?"

"I thought that if Concubine Chen was willing to meet Qi Ying for a while, or say a few good words, Qi Ying's family affairs would be much easier. The Wang family suddenly realized that this was the real purpose of the Liu family's coming here, and not only smiled secretly.

"Sister-in-law means to catch up with Concubine Chen's mother through Concubine Chen? This thing is not easy, not to mention whether Concubine Chen's mother is willing to see her, it is hard to say whether Concubine Chen's mother is willing to help with this. When Liu heard Wang's words of evasion, he was anxious, grabbed Liu's hand and said:

"I also know that this thing is not easy to do, but there is really no way, and our master really can't point to it, so he can only ask his younger brother and sister here. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Wang let go of Liu's hand without showing a trace, looking at Liu's anxious expression, and his heart was happy. I used to look down on myself in various ways, but now I have to ask for myself one day.

"Sister-in-law, the situation is unclear now, and I don't know what the Duke of Qi means yet, whether they are willing to let Concubine Shuniang take care of this matter, it's really hard to say. When Liu heard this, he was anxious, stood up, and was about to kneel down when he walked in front of Wang, but Wang hurriedly supported him.

"Sister-in-law, what is this for? We are a family, everything is easy to discuss, and we must not do this. Liu's eyes were red,

"Brother and sister, I also know that this matter is difficult for you, but I really can't bear to see Qi Ying's life ruined like this. ”

"Sister-in-law said this, I can't shirk it. I can only go to find out the tone of the Duchess of Guo first, but I dare not guarantee that it will not succeed. ”

"My brother and sister have helped me a lot, and I don't dare to count on anything else. The Liu family was grateful to the Wang family, but he didn't know that this time his actions had also brought him more trouble.

On this day, Zhang Zan invited Zhang Hou to talk in his study, and the two dismissed a group of servants, apparently discussing confidential matters. Zhang Zan first said:

"When the prince saw you that day, he still had a good impression, and. This time, there is a vacancy in Beijing that is Gongbu Langzhong, although it is a level, but it always enters Beijing, and in this extraordinary period, it is also inconspicuous, what do you think?" Zhang Hou nodded,

"Very good. ”

"What do you think of that seat?" Zhang Hou was stunned for a moment, but then reacted.

"Big brother, aren't you ...... with King Shou"

"It was a last resort, and he threatened me with Qi Ying's affairs. And I suspect that your father-in-law is also involved in this?"

"Wang Shangshu?" Zhang Hou was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, he has long been optimistic about King Shou taking the throne. ”

"No wonder he asked me to help him recruit more people in Shandong. ”

But Brother Wei thinks that although the prince is weak now, he is a serious prince after all, and he does not support orthodoxy, but supports others. What's more, the Shouwang is too popular, which may not be a good thing. In the others, King Yu is stubborn and self-serving, King Chang is indecisive, and King Fu doesn't mention it. ”

"Big brother is right, and I feel the same way. Ten have ** prince or prince. ”

"Yes, but now that Wang Shangshu is on the side of King Shou, outsiders must be the same when they see you and me, and it is imperative that we get on the line with the prince. ”

"What do you mean, big brother?"

"Isn't the draft about to start?"

"Zhenghe brother, but this candidate?"

"Originally, there was something about King Shou, and I was interested in Qi Ying, but Ying'er was too weak and her beauty was not enough, so I wanted to discuss it with you. ”

"Saitama and Saiying are both the right age, but they have their own merits, and I don't know how to choose?"

"What do you say?" asked Zhang Zan.

"Although Saiyu's appearance is not as prominent as Qijiao, she is thoughtful and scheming, and Qijiao has no city. ”

In this way, it is a bit difficult for people to say. Living in the palace, without wit, it is difficult to move an inch, but if you are outstanding, you must be favored in one fell swoop. Zhang Hou nodded helplessly.

"Well, then, I'll ask the prince what he likes, and then decide who he might choose." ”

"It's fine. ”

Zhang Hou left Zhang Zan's study, and wanted to see what Zhang Xiao was doing. When I got there, Zhang Xiao was not in the room, Zhang Hou was unhappy, and when I asked, I knew that Zhang Xiao had gone out to see the list. So he instructed the little servant to let Zhang Xiao come back to see him in the study. Just as he was about to step out of the door, he coldly collided with Zhang Xiao, who was about to enter the door.

Zhang Xiao hurriedly supported her father, and then stood by the side with her hands down. Zhang Hou suppressed the anger in his heart and said:

"What are you doing when you don't read books in the room?"

"Father, today is the day of the list, and my son asked Brother Ruoqi to read the list. ”

"Ruoqi?"

"It's Yang Xi. As soon as Zhang Hou heard Yang Xi's name, his anger disappeared, he really admired this young man.

"How is it?" Zhang Xiao immediately became excited when she heard this:

"Brother Ruoqi is really amazing, he took the sixth Jinshi exam. ”

"Sure enough, the father is not mistaken!" Zhang Hou praised, but when he saw his son's excited appearance, he was a little angry:

"It's not that you took the sixth place in the exam, what are you proud of? Zhang Xiao walked to the bookcase stupidly.

"Turn around and ask Yang Xi to come to the house to sit down. Zhang Hou commanded when he left, and Zhang Xiao happily agreed immediately.
