Gu Zhicheng thought for a while and said, "The emperor and the cabinet will naturally look for a reassuring person in the household department. ”

He didn't think she had any thoughts on these things.

"yes." Shen Yan nodded and said, "But it is the people below who are in charge of this money, and it may not be the person who is in charge of the money who really wants this money." The former steward of my house took my money, and as a result, most of the money was used to honor others. In the end, I didn't get the money, and I was beaten. ”

When Gu Zhicheng heard this, he frowned, "You mean, this person in charge of the household department will give money to his boss?" ”

"I don't know." Shen Yan shrugged his shoulders, "I only know that in all dynasties, as long as there was disaster relief money, there was no matter of falling into the hands of the people. My Uncle Lu happens to be in the household department, and it is very likely that he will also handle this money this time, of course he will not ignore this money, but there are so many people who handle it, who knows if other people will be planted on his head? ”

Gu Zhicheng stared at her and fell silent.

He has often eaten tea and pastime with Shen Mi Lu Ingot recently, although the relationship with Lu Ingot is not very good, but he has also established a friendship, Lu Ingot is indeed not like the person who is greedy for ink and silver, and no matter why Shen Yan mentioned this matter, only saying her words has some truth, although he does not know how much silver is for disaster relief, but with the emperor's attention to this disaster, its number will definitely not be less.

How could such a large sum of money not be coveted? It's just a little bit of a difference.

If Lu Ingot is not greedy, it will be someone else. If it is found out at that time, Lu Ingot will definitely not be able to get out of it.

But it didn't seem to have much to do with him, and when he thought of this, he relaxed his brows again.

"Little girl's family, don't think about these all day long, it's an adult's business."

Shen Yan sighed, and then said, "I know I shouldn't care, but I'm just worried about my Uncle Lu." Otherwise, I shouldn't have mentioned it if I gave me three guts, that is, for the sake of Uncle Gu, you are kind and righteous, I dare to speak.

"My Uncle Lu is really a good man, if he has anything to do with it, then my father will definitely run for him, but who knows if there will be some important people involved? At that time, I am afraid that the Shen family will not be clean, and in the current situation, if someone related to the Shen family is involved, it will be very bad, Uncle Gu, right? ”

Gu Zhicheng's face condensed slightly: "How can you say that you are so strict?" ”

Shen Yan sighed again: "I also hope that I am unfounded. If this errand is done well, the emperor will inevitably get a lot of appreciation in front of him, and it will be easy to be promoted in the future. But if it is done badly, it will not be a matter of a few reprimands. I'm really afraid that my Uncle Lu is so hard at work that he will lose his way for a while. ”

It's good that she doesn't say that, but when she says this, Gu Zhicheng doesn't dare to be careless.

According to the current agenda of the court, if there is no accident, the money for disaster relief will indeed be very likely to be in the hands of Lu ingot, and there is a good chance that the Qincha who will go to Guangxi with the new governor will be Lu ingot. And with such a large sum of silver, and so many people up and down, who guarantees that no one will make up their minds?

Lu Ding's heart is upright, the important thing is that he has no connections in the court, and the closest relationship is Shen Mi, such a person is naturally the best to be a scapegoat. The embezzlement of silver taels for disaster relief is much more of a crime than ordinary embezzlement, and if Lu Deng really did this, it would be appropriate to be convicted and imprisoned.

Although Shen Yan's words are indeed a bit unfounded, but if you think about it carefully, it is not completely unreasonable, if Lu Ingot is unlucky, then Shen Mi will definitely find a way to pull him out out out of morality, and then it will inevitably use Shen Guanyu's face, if there is really something big behind this, then the Shen family - if the Shen family is implicated in this kind of case, even if they are not guilty, their reputation will also be affected, right?

At that time, will the Gu family seek affection for them or not?

If they plot, they will inevitably bargain with the emperor, if they don't, where will they have the face to deal with the Shen family in the future?

Thinking about this, Gu Zhicheng suddenly felt troublesome, although what Shen Yan provided was only a possibility, but once this possibility was realized, the things that followed would really be like a chain of sets.

"Of course, I'm just saying, maybe the emperor won't let me Uncle Lu take charge of this matter."

At this moment, Shen Yan suddenly changed his tone again and gently comforted himself.

Gu Zhicheng glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and said: "Lord Guo still has half a month to go to Guangxi to take up his post, even if he prepares the silver taels in advance, it will take seven or eight days. ”

"Exactly." Shen Yan nodded.

Having said that, Gu Zhicheng couldn't sit still, and was silent for a while, seeing that it was not early, so he stood up: "I'll leave first." Treat your father to tea another day. ”

Shen Yan stood up: "Will Uncle Gu tell my father what we said today?" ”

He turned his head under the corridor and said with a smile: "Do you want me to sue sù?" ”

Shen Yan laughed, "If my father knew that I was thinking nonsense, he would definitely punish me for my homework, I am a girl's family, I know a few words, I know some housekeeping skills, I know a little bit of the truth of life, what do I do when I read so many books." Uncle Gu definitely doesn't want me to frown at books every day, right? ”

Gu Zhicheng smiled and groaned, and then laughed for a while: "What a ghost!" So saying, he descended the stone steps.

Shen Yan stood under the porch and looked at him politely.

It was only after his back was finally around the corner for a long time that she sat on the railing and looked down at her quietly sweaty palms.

This conversation may seem lighthearted, but it is not easy at all.

What she is good at is the struggle of the inner house, and she is not good at dealing with the affairs of the court and the outside world, but at the moment she has no other way, to change the fate of Hua's family, she can only start by saving Lu ingot, this is like crossing the river by feeling the stones, she doesn't know that the road ahead is deep and shallow, all she can see is the scenery on the other side, and she can only do it and muster up the courage to move forward.

Although she instigated Gu Zhicheng to do this matter, for example, she could have explained this qiē directly to Shen Mi, but in essence, it was not.

Although Shen Mi dotes on her, he actually has his own bottom line in his heart, he can not restrain her nature, he can help her and Hua Shi maneuver in front of Mrs. Shen, and he can also condone her to do what she wants to do harmlessly, but he will never be accommodating when he intervenes in political affairs in private.

He would not allow her daughter to become a deviant woman in the eyes of everyone.

So she could only light the fire from Gu Zhicheng's side and let him think about this matter from the perspective of the interests of the Gu family.

At present, the Gu family has the desire for the Shen family, and they also have the strength to do this.

He is the son of the Rongguo Mansion, although he is a martial artist, but he is not a pure martial artist, he has a strategy and knows how to observe words and feelings, although he may not be comfortable with playing with power, but if she shows the slightest trace of panic just now, she will definitely not be able to escape his eyes. If he wants to be willing to stop this, he must let him know that Lu Ding's future is also related to their wishes.

The fire she lit just now was very warm, but she believed that although Gu Zhicheng didn't care much about her worries now, it must have been three or four points.

How unrealistic it would be to take him down all at once, but anyway, she still had time, didn't she?

Gu Zhicheng's visit is not a secret.

When Shen Mi came back at night, he couldn't help but ask Gu Zhicheng's intention today.

Shen Yan said calmly: "Uncle Gu came to ask my father when he would ask Uncle Lu to go fishing with him on the outskirts of the city?" After saying that, she threw herself on her father's arm and raised her face like a kitten: "When are you going?" ”

Shen Mi took chopsticks and scratched the bridge of her nose: "I won't take you anymore, I can't get along with Gu Song." ”

Because of the great victory in the northwest, the next few days the street also began to be lively, no need to go out of the workshop, the street from time to time sounded the gongs and drums and firecrackers of the troupe flew into the high wall, as the maids and people went in and out, the news of the emperor's reward for the border army also reached Shen Yan's ears, it is said that the Duke of Wei was rewarded with three thousand gold and silver, and the eldest son of the Duke of Wei was awarded the official position of the thousand general of the Chinese military camp, and the Han family has been very beautiful recently.

So recently, there were a lot of people who went to the Wei Mansion to congratulate, and even Mrs. Shen seemed to have prepared a ceremony and sent it to the Han Mansion.

When I went, I went with the people of the Rongguo Mansion, and the Gu family had a very good relationship with the Han family.

According to the people who came back, although the Duke of Wei was still guarding the border, the eldest prince of the Han family was very steady, and he looked at the dancing elephant before he arrived, but it was very decent to welcome him to be neither humble nor arrogant. Speaking of how handsome and handsome this Han Gongzi is, people can't help but feel respect in their hearts, in short, Han Ji said that the sky is crazy.

When someone replied, the girls were guessing charades under the screen of Yao Ri Hall, and they couldn't help but talk about it. Even Shen Yi became interested in Han Ji, but she had seen him, so compared to everyone's curiosity, she was quite calm, and only asked a few words about his hobbies or something.

Shen Yan didn't participate, she was afraid of spitting out words that shouldn't be spit out.

In the past few days before waiting for the imperial court to set the Qin mission, in addition to sending rouge Qingdai to develop eyeliner, she collected news on the street, and Lu Silan asked her to come over to eat lotus pods this day, and by the way, she also expressed a strong interest in the Han family.

"I heard that the original wife and children of Wei Guogong were sacrificed in the war, and now this Mrs. Yu was married after the Great Zhou Dingguo, so he is more than ten years older than Mrs. Xie Yu, and I don't know if it is because he is old enough to have a son, so he loves both sons very much, and this eldest son Han Ji is still the art of war and martial arts that he personally taught. It's just that I don't understand, since I love it, why haven't I asked him to be named the son of the world until now? ”

Lu Guolan spread his hands, puzzled.

Shen Yan threw the lotus shell into the water to tease the koi who was hungry all the time, and shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe only the Han family itself knows." ”

She lived to be more than twenty years old in the last life and didn't figure out what she didn't understand, can Lu Silan figure it out now? R1152
