The three young ladies are talking about the excitement here, a mother-in-law came in with a curtain, and reported that the eldest prince had risen to the rate of the East Palace, and the Xiangye asked people to prepare a family banquet and invite the three young ladies over!

The third and fourth ladies were slightly stunned when they heard this, looked at each other for a while, and then showed surprise on their faces, and hurriedly stood up and said that they wanted to go back to change their clothes first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Jiang Moyan got up and asked the two young ladies to go out.

Xiao Ye came over to help Mo Yan back to the room, and muttered: "These young ladies are really exquisite, and they have to change their clothes after such a while." Mo Yan raised his hand and knocked her, before he sighed: "You little girl is really naïve, how can you believe what people say?" Where did they want to go back and change their clothes, because they were afraid that they would go over with Miss and me, so that Mrs. and Tong Xihuan would be unhappy to see it. ”

Xiao Yeqi said: "Huh? These young ladies in the back house are really tired of living, and they have to grow so many hearts and eyes when they are just over ten years old. ”

Mo Yan thought back to what he was doing when he was eleven or twelve? I think I'm still an elementary school student with a red scarf! Just thinking about it, he was suddenly pulled by Xiao Ye, and then he came back to his senses and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Miss, you're distracted again. The slave asks if you want to change your clothes too. Xiao Ye pouted.

"Oh, then let's change it, let's change it to the plum red one, it must always be suitable for the occasion." Mo Yan said as he sat in front of the dresser, fiddling with the rouge gouache. These ancient cosmetics are really a headache, white is scary, red is bright red, and there is too much oil, there is always a greasy feeling. Jiang Moyan picked up a little powder, patted it on his face, took out a handkerchief and covered his face, and pressed it lightly a few times before he pressed down the miserable whiteness. He slapped the rouge on both cheeks......

Xiao Ye took the clothes and put them on Mo Yan, opened the jewelry box sent by Xiang Ye, took out a set of pearl heads and gestured on Mo Yan's head, but unfortunately said: "Miss, if you don't have pierced ears, you can't wear these earrings!" ”

Mo Yan didn't care about putting on makeup: "Then don't bring it." And don't bring all of these heads, just take a sideburns of velvet and a step shake. She didn't want to be like Tong Xihuan and insert herself as an exhibition model.

"We used to be in the nunnery, so naturally we didn't need these jewelry. Now it's different, look at the slave, you still have to bear with it, pierce your ears, you can't bring such beautiful earrings, what a pity! Mo Yan ignored her, cleaned himself up, and walked out first. Xiao Ye put away the jewelry in a dejected manner and followed it out.

When Jiang Moyan arrived, everyone had already arrived, she stepped forward to greet Xiangye and Mrs. Pei, and went to congratulate Tong Guangxiu before taking a seat. Jiang Moyan looked around, everyone was brightly dressed, smiling, and even the people were standing aside happily.

Tong Cheng encouraged his eldest son, and told him to do things by the prince's side, to be cautious in his words and deeds, and to work diligently. Although Tong Qishan is the prime minister of a country, he is an honest and self-disciplined person, and he has never interfered in the promotion of his sons, so he is also very happy to see his son self-motivated.

Although it was a family banquet, the food was very abundant, and Mrs. Pei must have thought a lot of thought about this celebration banquet when she saw that her son was promising. The maids came in with plates of exquisite dishes, Aunt Wang and other aunts were busy placing the dishes, and several brothers and sisters congratulated the eldest prince one after another, and a feast was also lively.

The banquet was in full swing, and a steward walked in and whispered a few times in the prime minister's ear. Prime Minister Tong frowned when he heard this, put down his wine glass, and said to everyone: "You go on eating, don't worry about me." ”

Seeing her husband leave the table halfway, Mrs. Pei called the steward and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The steward replied resignedly: "It was Lord Cui of the Ministry of Industry who came to visit, saying that there was something important to discuss with the prime minister." ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Pei to speak, Tong Guangxiu answered: "What is he doing, is it possible that he still wants my father to help him speak?" The prince was trying to find out what was wrong with this Master Cui, but he didn't expect them to bump into him by himself. This time, I'm afraid that it is unlikely that this Master Cui will want to get out easily. ”

Mrs. Pei didn't hear about Master Cui, and when she saw that several children were curiously inquiring, she didn't stop her son. Tong Guangxiu told everyone roughly about Cui Youdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Hearing the four words of the Ministry of Works, Jiang Moyan stopped his chopsticks and listened carefully to what they said.

It turned out that Cui Youdao was the protégé of the former prime minister. Baili Trend is the father of the most favored concubine Rong and the ancestor of the second prince, who has been in the court for several years, has countless protégés, and has attracted many supporters for the second prince, and Cui Youdao is one of them.

Donghuang is close to the sea, the domestic river is vertical and horizontal, there are often floods, this river repair and embankment has become one of the major events in the court every year, the cost is huge. This Cui Youdao has been in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and he has the blessing of the second prince, and he has deducted countless amounts of silver from Xiuhe, and has always been the small treasury of the second prince. Five years ago, after the emperor named Cui Youdao's eldest daughter as the second prince's concubine, Cui Youdao became a hardcore second prince's party.

As the prince of Donghuang, the crown prince was very jealous when he saw the second prince and the Rongguo Mansion growing. However, the second prince is smart and cautious, and with the advice of Rong Guogong behind his back, coupled with the support of a group of courtiers behind him, there has been a tendency to catch up with and surpass the prince in recent years. The crown prince couldn't hold the handle of the second prince, so he could only start from the people around the second prince.

Coincidentally, before the flood season this year, the Ministry of Industry asked for a large amount of money from the Ministry of Households to repair the river and open the canal.

It's time for something to happen, and this year there has been a lot of rain. As soon as the newly repaired embankment was poured by the rain, it collapsed several times. Patches of fertile land were instantly flooded, and many people brought their families and went out to escape the famine. Many river workers were swept away by the floods, and many families were destroyed.

One of the river workers, surnamed Feng, was hit by a heavy object when the embankment collapsed, but luckily a piece of driftwood next to him saved his life. When he returned home, the already difficult family was even worse, and the copper plate that Feng Hegong earned was not enough to catch medicine and cure the disease.

Her wife was forced to be helpless, and she didn't know who she was going to do, so she went to the county government and sued the foreman, saying that the foreman had deducted the wages of the river workers, and that she had not received any pension if she was disabled.

This happened to let the governor who came down to inspect know. This magistrate was thinking about how to tie up with the prince, and when he got the case, he reported it in a hurry, and finally stabbed the prince.

The prince was very happy, and finally caught the fault of the Ministry of Works, where would he let it go? It's a pity that it is a bit difficult to get rid of Cui Shangshu at once and even the second prince with this case alone. The crown prince made people anxious to search for evidence of Cui Shangshu's crimes, and even the Nine Emperor Princes, who didn't care about political affairs, were pulled in by him to help, and Tong Guangxiu, who was the prince's follower, naturally rushed ahead.

Prime Minister Tong did not come back until the end of the banquet. When everyone saw that the head of the house was not there, the excitement dispersed. After Jiang Moyan went back, she thought hard for half the night, but she had just come here, and everything was unfamiliar, so she could only wait for her to understand before making plans.
