Mrs. Dong naturally hopes that her husband can be promoted, and she is angry, and she still wants to work harder, also because in order to coax her, Master Dong sent away all the concubines who were not in harmony with the husband and wife some time ago.

The husband and wife discussed it again, Mrs. Dong understands her sister, between sisters, asking for a small thing may be able to help, but in a big matter, it may not be, after all, this is a favor, this must be the princess is not the sister's biological daughter, some favors are used once less, and they have to be used on the blade.

Master Dong also felt that seeking an official position was not a matter of one or two sentences, but a knock on the side, and he had to really ask for it, since Mrs. Meng was not good at talking, it was better to go directly to the princess.

Everything has to pay attention to connections, Princess Ding obviously does not have a particularly good lady, and now she should urgently need to establish her own network, this is a good time.

Mrs. Dong is still the princess's nominal aunt, and relatives should communicate with each other and go directly to Princess Ding, which also means to surrender to King Ding.

After Master Dong came to Yancheng, he has been cautious, does not participate in partisan disputes, maintains neutrality, and protects himself, but the neutral faction is generally a person who does not like both sides, some time ago, he was able to be promoted to a level, and he did handle his official affairs well, which made people impeccable, there is also a reason that everyone knows, he is the uncle of Princess Ding, and he is a relative of the princess's mother.

At that time, there was news that the princess was pregnant, and the Meng family followed the rising tide, and even with his in-laws, he could get a little light. Now the situation is different, in the past, the princess lived in a simple house, did not go out to socialize, everyone did not know much about the situation of the Dingwang Mansion, thinking that the princess was weak, so she naturally needed the support of her relatives, but as the princess gradually began to move, everyone could see that the princess was not very close to her mother's family, at least not very close to her mother's relatives.

And this Yan City. The relationship between the provinces is complex. If you want to talk about this kind of kinship, anyone can get involved with anyone, and it can't explain anything at all.

But because of the relationship between Princess Ding, Master Dong was attributed to King Ding's vein by some of King Ding's political enemies. If you don't get the support of the king. It's in vain to bear this reputation. Therefore, it is necessary to surrender to sincerity.

Originally, Mrs. Dong wanted her sister to take her to Dingwang's mansion, and slowly got closer to the princess, but since her mind was seen through by her sister. She knew that this road was going nowhere, and she didn't think about anything anymore, so she just went straight and found an excuse to visit.

I think that Wei's has nothing to do with Dingwangfu, it's just that the older generation has a relationship, so they can come to the door with a cheeky face, and they want to stuff their niece into the palace as a concubine.

It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, Master Dong's affairs are also a little urgent, another round of official assessment is about to start, everyone is looking for a way to get a relationship, he really can't wait.

Mrs. Dong handed over the post and came to visit.

Under the leadership of the maid, he came to the flower hall of the Dingwang Mansion.

As soon as I entered the flower hall, I was a little stunned, and Mrs. Quan Si was also there.

The maid who led the way in Dingwangfu didn't mention that the princess still had guests, probably thinking that Mrs. Quan Si was also her mother's family, so it was okay.

If it is a weekday, it is a good thing to meet Mrs. Quansi, everyone gathers together, and there are more people, but I met with Mrs. Quansi in the Meng family before, and we talked to each other, talking about Wei's affairs, before coming today, Mrs. Dong also thought about it, and used Wei's concubine as an excuse to start the conversation.

But the fourth wife with the right is here, so it is not good to bring up this topic again and again, otherwise once the matter reaches Mrs. Meng's ears, she will definitely be complained by Mrs. Meng, and even Mrs. Meng will come to dismantle her own stage.

When Mrs. Quan Si saw Mrs. Dong, she was a little surprised at first, and then she felt that it was not a strange thing.

When they met at Meng's house earlier, Mrs. Dong repeatedly revealed that she wanted to come to Dingwangfu to have a visit, but she didn't expect to meet so coincidentally, and Princess Fang Ding did not mention that Mrs. Dong was coming back, and she didn't know that Mrs. Dong was coming.

It's always a relative, and it's not a bad thing to run into it.

Mrs. Quan Si didn't think there was anything, anyway, there was nothing unpleasant for her to come to the palace, and it was the princess who asked the maid to send a message to her.

It's not a big deal for the princess to find her, that is, in the palace, there is a girl who wants to settle it, saying that it is a girl, but in addition to the maids, it is not the first time that those beauties are in the palace.

It's just that this time it's not a matchmaker, I heard the princess say that this girl is good at tea art, and I heard that Mrs. Quan Si opened a small tea house, so I asked if I could arrange this girl to work in the tea house.

Mrs. Quan Si naturally did not refuse, that is, to settle a person, it was a trivial matter for her, her tea house was not hot anyway, and she just made a few fat powder money, it was naturally good to be able to help, and if she couldn't help, she should raise an idler and spend a few more months of money.

As soon as the conversation was over, Mrs. Dong came.

Mrs. Quan Si intuitively felt that Mrs. Dong might have something to ask for, although she was from her mother's family, but when others asked for another person, it was not good for others to be present.

After a few pleasantries, Mrs. Quan Si saw that Mrs. Dong was a little nervous, and she was more sure of her thoughts, and she had the intention to avoid it, but seeing the appearance of the princess, she didn't seem to have the intention of asking her to avoid it, so she could only stay.

"Auntie, it's rare to come here, often the snacks in our house." Su Yiqing treats guests, the opportunity is the same opening, it has become a pattern, and the topic revolves around food and clothing as much as possible.

"Oh, this dim sum is so exquisitely made, it deserves to be the chef of the Dingwang Mansion." Mrs. Dong picked up a small piece of flower-like dim sum and tasted a small bite, it was indeed very sweet, and she was really amazed.

"As I said last time, the dim sum in the palace is indeed unique." Mrs. Quan Si interjected, and after a lot of contact, she also understood Su Yiqing's habits, and knew that she didn't like to socialize very much, and she didn't talk much, so in order to avoid embarrassment, she naturally had to say a few more words and adjust the atmosphere, which is also what she is good at. this

The fourth wife is here, and Su Yiqing is also a lot more relaxed, so she doesn't have to talk to her.

The three women talked about food and clothing.

It's just that Mrs. Dong is a little absent-minded, and Mrs. Quan Si is here. It's hard to say what she originally decided, but if she doesn't say it now, it's hard to have a chance to end.

Su Yiqing has seen a lot of people these days, and when she looks at Mrs. Dong's appearance, she knows that she must have a request, these noble ladies, who don't worry about food and clothing on weekdays, what can they ask for? Naturally, he could only use the power of Dingwangfu to do something.

No matter what Mrs. Dong wants to ask, she doesn't plan to agree, since she doesn't plan to agree. Don't let Mrs. Dong speak. lest as soon as you open your mouth and refuse again, it will be even more embarrassing.

Still continuing the topic, Su Yiqing asked about the business of Mrs. Quan's tea house again. Road. "The fourth aunt is really capable. I opened so many shops, and I could take care of it. ”

Mrs. Kwon Si smiled, "It's not a business. Earn a few fat powder money, speaking of which this tea house is still my marriage shop, used to be rented out, monthly rent, originally thought not to care too much, every month just know to collect rent, but later found that there will be trouble just collecting rent, tenants do not pay rent on time, the shop has disputes will implicate the landlord and so on, but it is also annoying, so I simply opened my own shop, find a few loyal people to watch, earn a few pocket money, and occasionally place the people who are released out, so that they have a serious thing to do. ”

Su Yiqing nodded, "It's good that the fourth aunt thinks so, if she can make money, her subordinates will naturally be more dedicated. ”

Mrs. Dong said: "The princess and sister-in-law are generous to others, sometimes it is not enough to just let the subordinates take care of it, and some things still have to be asked in person, lest that day, there will be any crooked eyes." ”

"My sister is a little too careful, and the small business of making a few fat powder money has nothing to be pitted for." Seeing that Su Yiqing didn't answer Mrs. Dong's words, Mrs. Quan Si didn't know if she was unhappy, but she only felt that Mrs. Dong shouldn't say something so bad at this time, clearly saying that the subordinates have two hearts, but from another aspect, if it weren't for the master's mistreatment of the subordinates, most of the subordinates would not have any crooked eyes.

"Oh, I'm thinking too much." Seeing this, Mrs. Dong immediately reversed her mind and stopped mentioning this matter, but she was secretly anxious in her heart, if she went on like this, she couldn't find a topic to say, what should I do?

It was Su Yiqing who suddenly asked, "By the way, I haven't asked the second aunt yet, is there anything wrong with coming this time?" ”

"No, no, I'm just here to have nothing to do first, to hang out and disturb the princess, I'm a little embarrassed." How dare Mrs. Dong say that she really asks for help.

Su Yiqing smiled slightly, and didn't answer again.

Mrs. Dong secretly complained, no wonder she mentioned that she wanted to come to Dingwangfu as a guest that day, and her sister shirked it like that, thinking that this princess Ding, who was born as a concubine of the Meng family, was really hard to talk to.

Speaking of which, on that day, they were considered to have provided for each other, when they entered the city and were attacked, the guards of the Meng family suffered heavy casualties, and the two families entered the city together under the escort of King Ding's army.

At that time, I thought that the two families were relatives, and I also asked Princess Ding to rest in the mansion for a long time, and the Meng family came to pick it up.

But at that time, she didn't take this concubine in her eyes, and there was an accident in the Dong family at that time, her stepson died when she was attacked, and her stepdaughter pointed at her and scolded, so this concubine naturally saw it in her eyes.

Mrs. Dong felt that this matter was a little embarrassing for outsiders to see, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

After the Meng family and Dingwangfu got married, she didn't think much about it, she just felt that this concubine was very blessed, but in view of the reputation of Dingwangke's wife, plus a certain affinity, Meng was also deprived of military power, she felt that this may not be a good marriage, this concubine is just a pawn to be used, and naturally she did not take advantage of the little favor of the first meeting to strike while the iron is hot and close the relationship.

Since then, this concubine has gradually gained a firm foothold in the Dingwang Mansion, but their family has frequent accidents, she is pregnant, and the husband and wife are not in harmony, so that now, things in the family have stabilized, she also gave birth to a son, and the relationship between husband and wife has been eased.

Only then did I remember that I should plan for my husband's future, but at this time, Princess Ding was no longer the inconspicuous concubine of the day.

Mrs. Dong was very annoyed, seeing that the princess was not as good as Mrs. Quan, who was closer to her aunt, which was also the reason why Mrs. Quansi came to the door early.

I couldn't find a chance to talk about my own affairs, so I chatted for a while, Mrs. Dong really couldn't, and it would be a little blind to stay any longer, so I had no choice but to leave first.

As soon as Mrs. Dong left, Su Yiqing immediately found Green Vine and asked if the Dong family had anything to do recently.

Because of Ru Niang's affairs, the green vine made a small contribution, and the merits were offset by the merits, so he returned to Su Yiqing's side to serve.

Seeing Su Yiqing ask at this time, she still paid some attention to the movements of the various mansions in Yancheng, thought about it, and said: "If you go back to the princess, the Dong family should have nothing to do recently, but I heard that Master Dong has been quite active recently, and he is trying his best to express himself, as if he wants to go one step further in the official position." ”

Officials naturally want to go further, which is not surprising, Su Yiqing expressed her understanding, and Mrs. Dong's actions are also reasonable, and it is common to seek promotion by pulling relationships, and there are all in that era.

With the relationship between Mrs. Dong and the Meng family, it is a little strange not to find the Dingwang Mansion.

Green vine said again: "It's just that, as far as the slave maid knows, it is not easy for Master Dong to go further. ”

Su Yiqing said lightly: "Naturally, it is not easy, if it is easy, Mrs. Dong will not suddenly visit above." ”

The noble ladies who are born in everyone's daughters are holding shelves, this kind of trust relationship to seek official positions is not a glorious thing after all, on weekdays, Mrs. Dong will definitely not do it, which can be seen from Mrs. Dong's delay in finding the Dingwang Mansion.

Green vine said: "No, it's just that the slave maid learned that if this old man Dong wants to take another step, the official position above must be vacant, and now there is no shortage of officials." ”

Su Yiqing frowned, "There is no vacancy, there is no position, so what does Master Dong want if he is so active?" ”

Green vine replied: "This slave doesn't know, I only heard that Mrs. Dong seems to be very dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhu's last time she sent Runiang into the Dingwang Mansion as a concubine. ”

That is, he wanted to squeeze Zhu Shilang down and put himself in this position, Su Yiqing was a little disdainful, and Master Dong's behavior seemed to be a bit of a villain.

If you really can't look past it, there are many people in the court who are corrupt and pervert the law, and he just stares at the people who are blocking his position, which is a little despicable, and he is too eager for quick success. (To be continued......)
