Chapter 21: The Beginning and the End
Chu Ning said: "Don't let her know." ”
"Yes, master. ”
"In addition, we are now going to talk to the Hou Shizi of Pingyuan about the situation, after all, he is the Lord Qincha in everyone's eyes, not me, the Hou Shizi of Cheng'en who has disappeared for a long time. ”
The carriage slowly drove into the Chincha-sama's mansion,......
The chief eunuch beside Emperor Ye Xun has changed several times, and even he has forgotten who the last chief manager was. But now this one by his side is very useful, and he can always guess and know his mind at the right time, and there are many things that have not been ordered yet, but he has already done it.
This kind of person is easy to use, but it is also easy to use problems.
"Have you sent out all the secret decrees?"
Chen Gonggong said: "Back to Your Majesty, it has already been sent out." Lord Qincha Su Zhiwei and Zhou Shizi all received it. ”
Ye Xun nodded and said, "That's good, set up Kunning Palace." ”
"Yes. Gonggong Chen turned around and shouted in his own sharp voice, "Your Majesty is in charge of Kunning Palace." ”
Kunning Palace is the palace of Chu Ziyan's aunt, Empress Dafeng Gu Changning. Gu Changning has a daughter under his knees, who has already married, but the place where he married is not in the capital, and it is rare to see him in a year.
The relationship between the emperor and the empress is good, or it should be said that the emperor has a good relationship with the empress who has no heirs but is from a prestigious family. In Kunning Palace, Gu Changning was gossiping with Chu Ziyan, who came to visit.
"Yan'er, your mother took Xiao Xiu to take up a post in other places, so young, how could she be reluctant. "When it comes to the son that my sister gave birth to two years ago, Gu Changning is really envious. Among the sisters, Gu Changqing is the youngest, but she is doing well. is in his thirties and almost forty, and he gave birth to a son, and this child is still tiger-headed, cute and tight.
At the beginning, Gu Changning took advantage of the fact that the husband and wife were still there, and asked them to come over.
Speaking of her younger brother Chu Xiuzhe, Chu Ziyan also smiled, she really didn't expect that she was not with Su Zhiyuan in this life, she didn't persuade her father to find a way out for him, everything was fine in the family, and she could still have such a lovely younger brother.
As for why her mother had to take her younger brother to take up a job in other places, it may be that she didn't want her younger brother to be the same as herself. A man was left alone in the house, without their care.
For this matter, my father did not fight for it from my grandfather.
"At that time, my grandparents wanted my younger brother to stay in the capital, and they could take care of it, or they also thought about letting my father take my aunt to take office, and then my mother stayed in the house to take care of my younger brother. ”
When Chu Ziyan said this, she glanced at her aunt Gu Changning, and saw a trace of displeasure flashing in her eyes, "Husband and wife, it's good to be together." Besides, under normal circumstances, the husband takes office and the wife stays at home, because there are elderly people in the family who need to be taken care of.
An Guohou and Mrs. Hou Ye's bodies are still very strong, and they are already taken care of by the second lady by their side, besides, there are so many maids and servants, where do you have to ask your mother to stay. ”
Chu Ziyan nodded and said, "Yes, so, my grandfather finally agreed to my father's request." It's just that my brother stayed in the end. ”
"It's a pity that your brother didn't participate in the previous scientific expedition. Otherwise, with his strength, he should be able to get a ranking. Gu Changning's tone changed, and he said: "However, it seems that An Guohou wants to focus on cultivating your brother." ”
Chu Ziyan listened and didn't answer, she didn't know what to say at this time. Could it be that the position of the marquis of the Marquis Mansion of Anguo should be passed over his father's generation and passed directly to his elder brother? This is unreasonable, unless the elder brother has made a particularly great contribution, and the imperial court will be like this.
But is there such an opportunity now?
The husband Zhou Shaoning is in the south, and it is possible that he has the credit of quelling the rebellion, but his brother ......
Chu Ziyan was thinking about it when she heard "Your Majesty has arrived." ”
Everyone in the Kunning Palace immediately began to pack up and prepare for the arrival of the Great Feng Emperor Ye Xun.
After a formal salute, the queen only left one of her cronies, and her niece, and the rest withdrew.
Ye Xun looked at Chu Ziyan, who was standing aside with her head bowed in front of her, handed her a letter and said, "This is a letter from Shaoning to you, take a look." ”
Chu Ziyan took the letter with both hands and did not open it immediately, but put it in her sleeve.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Ye Xun waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, Shao Ning is working hard over there, and he should treat you a little bit." Anyway, you haven't seen each other for two years. ”
Chu Ziyan nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for two years." ”
Ye Xun's previous opinion of Chu Ziyan was that after Chongxi, she was a girl who could get her nephew's body right. The identity is also there, neither high nor low, but if you want to talk about her reputation and other talents, it really can't work. Even, I once thought that when my nephew's health was better, I would change this girl.
Find a knowledgeable and clever daughter-in-law for Shaoning.
just didn't expect that after this accident, Shaoning acted in a play with himself. pretended to assassinate himself, and then went to the south under the pseudonym "Chu Ning".
really found a lot of clues for him and arrested a group of people. The south is not so chaotic, but it still does not dare to take it lightly. Some time ago, he had just raised a million taels of silver for the army in the south, and he was robbed in Huizhou. It seems that this chaos has not subsided.
The people here in the capital didn't know about Zhou Shaoning, and the acting was too realistic at that time. Many people know that there is such an incident, so even if they don't treat the people of Chengenhou Mansion coldly. However, my sister has stayed at home for two years, and there is no reward in the Chengenhou Mansion, and many people know that the prince of the Chengenhou Mansion should have angered the saint, so don't deal with the people of the Chengenhou Mansion.
However, Mrs. Chengenhou Shizi was very good during this time, not only did she complete the things she arranged to take care of Ye Jingkuan, but also managed the Chengenhou Mansion, which could have become a mess, in an orderly manner.
In addition, after Ye Xun and Chu Ziyan chatted a few times, they did find that this nephew and daughter-in-law were not unlearned and unskilled as rumored by the outside world, but an idiot. On the contrary, she is very smart, she does what she should do beautifully, and she doesn't say a word that shouldn't be said.
Don't ask much, don't care, don't entangle, can do things, can talk, can dot.
In Ye Xun's opinion, if he wanted to choose a daughter-in-law for his son, he would probably choose this. What is especially rare is that she and her nephew have not known each other for a long time, and they do not have a round house, so they are not a real husband and wife, and they can treat their nephew and their sister and brother-in-law so sincerely, which is really affectionate.
