Chapter 197: Choice
Mama Jiang wanted to laugh when she saw her like this, but she felt pity, so she took a thick mattress and wrapped her tightly, and then worked with Biqing to dry her thick hair.
"The weather in this Jiangzhou has always been like this, but the lady feels cold?"
She served Fu Minghua to lie down, put down the curtain again, put on her clothes again, got up with scissors, and cut off the wick of the oil lamp burning on the table, and the room suddenly became a lot darker.
"Hmm." Fu Minghua turned over and made a soft sound of 'Xisuo'.
Tonight is the first night back to Jiangzhou, Mama Jiang is afraid that she will not be able to sleep, tomorrow I am afraid that she will have to meet the elders of the Xie Mansion in detail, and she will have to know her cousins and others well, if she doesn't sleep well tonight, I am afraid that she will not be energetic tomorrow.
She has always been squeamish, and she is a little bed-conscious.
Although she didn't say anything on the way back to Jiangzhou, Mama Jiang heard her turn over several times.
"This mansion is now the eldest lady in charge of the mansion, and the lady has long cared about small things." Mama Jiang slowly talked about some of the things she knew in the Xie family's mansion one by one, and Fu Minghua kept it in mind.
The Xie family is not rare, and they are very united.
Rooted in Jiangzhou for many years, the Xie family is famous in this area, from the early days when the old patriarch Xie was alive, he was good at dancing with long sleeves and made friends with celebrities in the world.
At least half of the Jiangling talents who joined the government that year were guests of the Xie family.
Even many ministers in the DPRK and China have received favors from their families.
Fu Minghua remembered everything Mama Jiang said in his heart.
After finishing her business, Mama Jiang stood up through the azure veil, and saw Fu Minghua with her back to the edge of the bed, holding the silk quilt under her armpits, revealing her round shoulders with only a thin bedgown.
The green hair was spread all over the bed, and the apricot-colored clothes were separated by the tent, and the back looked a little hazy.
Mama Jiang stretched out her hand to lift the silk curtain and pulled Fu Minghua's hand up, until she lifted the quilt and covered her tightly, and then said softly: "Don't be greedy for cold, lady, carefully freeze your shoulders." ”
Fu Minghua turned over, Mama Jiang saw that her eyes were half-narrowed, and she reached out and gently patted her on her back.
"Lady can't sleep? Because tonight ......"
She softened her tone, just like coaxing Fu Minghua to sleep when she was a child, and the rhythm of the beating was unhurried.
"Not really."
Knowing that Mama Jiang was referring to the fact that the Xie family came to find her at night, Fu Minghua shook his head: "She came to persuade me to cooperate with the Xie family in the future." ”
Mama Jiang was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "What does that lady think in her heart?" ”
She remembered what Fu Minghua had said on the carriage back to Xie Mansion in the evening.
At that time, she saw that every household in Jiangzhou avoided Yan Chai and his party, and obviously got the news in advance.
At that time, in Mama Jiang's opinion, she didn't think so much, I am afraid that because she is from Jiangzhou, she was not surprised that the Xie family could have such a status and influence in Jiangzhou.
She may have been accustomed to all this for a long time, and she only thought that the Xie family had bothered to welcome the third prince, but she never thought that the imperial court might be afraid of the prestige and influence of the Xie family in Jiangzhou.
Until Fu Minghua reminded.
"Does the lady think that the emperor is intolerant of the family? But the Rong family is now gaining power. ”
Fu Minghua has always been successful, and Mama Jiang asked her: "Besides, the noble concubine Niangniang is also from the family, and the third prince also has the support of the family." ”
The strength of the clan should not be underestimated, when Taizu fought the world, the Yin family and the Zhu family produced armor and weapons and horses, and the Xie family and the Cui family produced grain and grass and silver.
This is also the reason why after the world was settled, Taizu cleaned many clans, but only did not touch the four surnames.
Although in Mama Jiang's opinion, Fu Minghua is also reasonable.
Perhaps in the eyes of those in power, it is difficult to tolerate the power of the family, but the third prince Yan Chai's mother was born in the Qinghe Cui family, and there is such a reason as Fu Minghua, it is unlikely that the imperial court will kill the four surnames at this stage.
The four surnames such as Xie and Cui can be inherited for hundreds of years, and there is always a reason for it.
The previous dynasty failed to kill all the four surnames, and Taizu didn't dare to do it easily, so he could only slowly figure it out.
Even if the Tang royal family can't tolerate the family anymore, it is helpless against these four surnames for the time being.
"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is not easy for the lady to step by step to get to this point." Mama Jiang was a little worried, afraid that she would be separated from the Xie family, and the Xie family would not necessarily stand behind Yan Chai at that time.
Now the Changle Marquis Mansion is also difficult to protect itself, and Marquis Fu is also anxious to climb the mountain.
Cui Guifei is also one of the four surnames Qinghe, and Mama is really worried that Fu Minghua and the Xie family will have a disagreement, which will make Cui Guifei difficult for her.
Although Fu Minghua has set a family affair with Yan Chai, he is afraid that there will be many good things.
"Mama don't have to worry." Fu Minghua looked at Mama Jiang's tightly knit brows, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "I didn't say this, just keep Mama in mind today." ”
She lowered her voice and spoke slowly: "No close, no close, no distance." ”
Emperor Jia'an will always attack the family.
Even now, Emperor Jia'an seems to be more tolerant of the family, and even to Concubine Rong, and loves the house and Wu to the people of the Rong family.
But Fu Minghua faintly felt that something was wrong.
How could an emperor with a strong desire for control tolerate a family dividing the interests and prestige of the monarch?
Beside the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, Emperor Jia'an must have a back hand.
Her attitude towards the Xie family is that she is neither close, but also not too distant.
As Mama Jiang said, the family is a behemoth.
The foundation of the royal family is too shallow, once the four clans are rashly moved, not to mention whether the four clans will give up, just mentioning the weapons and armor of the Yin clan, and the war horses that the Zhu family provides to the court every year, it is enough for the court to be afraid.
The Cui family has ten female families, and many of the female women of the Cui family are now in charge of the house.
Not to mention that the Xie family has taken root in Jiangling for many years and is famous among the talented people in Jiangling, once the royal family attacks the Xie family, the spitting of the world's scholars alone is enough to make the imperial court stink for 10,000 years.
Under such circumstances, even if Emperor Jia'an wanted to attack the clan, he would never dare to act rashly.
The elimination of the family is not a day, it can be as little as ten years, or as long as twenty or thirty years.
So she expressed her attitude, and Mama Jiang sighed on her face.
She heard the meaning of Fu Minghua's words, in addition to pointing out the current situation of the Xie family, she was still drawing a line with the Xie family.
Mama Jiang sighed, Fu Minghua knew everything in her heart, so naturally it was not her turn to open her mouth.
Stretching out his hand to cover his lips, Fu Minghua whispered, "Sleep." ”
Mama Jiang answered, and then wrapped the quilt and lay down on the wooden foot.
It's just that at first, she was worried that Fu Minghua wouldn't be able to sleep, but she didn't expect that it was herself who couldn't sleep in the end.
When it was dark in the morning, Fu Minghua got up and freshened up. (To be continued.) )
