Chapter 368: Lobbyist
Before Xu Qirong could speak, she saw that Old Madam Shen let go of the hands that were holding her arms, and it was obvious that she was really angry.
Old Madam Shen stared at Xu Qirong's face, her eyes full of disappointment: "Sister Rong, I always thought you were sensible, but I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have become like this!" ”
Xu Qirong felt a little aggrieved, turned his head to look at the root sculpture on the Bogu shelf on the right of Old Madam Shen, and explained: "It's not to persuade uncles to take refuge in the Hua family...... My grandmother still remembers that when I was in Yangzhou, one day we sat together and talked, talking about the son of the Hua family, who was known as a prodigy, and my grandmother praised him very much at that time. ”
Seeing Xu Qirong like this, Mrs. Shen's heart softened, and she also felt that her reaction just now was a little too much, scaring her little granddaughter, and hearing Xu Qirong say that she didn't want to persuade the Shen family to join the Hua family, she couldn't help but ease her dark color, and thought along Xu Qirong's words.
Seven or eight years have passed, where does Old Madam Shen remember to live!
Xu Qirong reminded: "At that time, Cousin Crane also talked nonsense, saying that it may not be good if it is too young, can my grandmother remember it?" ”
Only then did Old Madam Shen react to who Xu Qirong was talking about, and then her eyes glared: "Who knew that a person who looked at the light wind and moon turned out to be a femme fatale!" ”
Xu Qirong was slightly stunned when she heard the words Guangfeng Jiyue, in her previous life, she heard others describe her husband Jun Yunlan the most as a character Guangfeng Jiyue, and now it is the fourth cousin Shen Yahui who is married to Yunlan, I haven't heard the news of the fourth cousin for a long time, and I don't know how she is now!
Xu Qirong looked up at Old Madam Shen. Biting his lip.
Old Madam Shen didn't notice Xu Qirong's distraction, and asked rhetorically, "What are you doing mentioning him for no reason?" I was almost killed by him at the beginning, and I should have been far away. ”
Xu Qirong honestly said his intentions: "I want my uncles to agree to discuss cooperation with Hua Yude." Regardless of whether you agree or not, you will talk about it after meeting someone first. ”
"No way!" When Old Madam Shen heard this, her voice was raised, "Sister Rong, tell your grandmother honestly, do you have any tricks in the hands of others?" ”
Xu Qirong smiled bitterly and shook her head, she knew that this persuasion would not go well. At that moment, he took Mrs. Shen's hand and sat on the soft couch next to Mrs. Shen, while helping Mrs. Shen massage her arms. He said softly: "Grandmother, don't be angry first, listen to Sister Rong'er, will you be angry again?" ”
Old Madam Shen glanced at her. knows that Xu Qirong has never been a fool. He didn't speak, waiting for her to say that she was ugly.
Xu Qirong said with a straight face: "If it is divided today, and the north is now guarded by General Yang, the cavalry of Luotan State will not be able to attack Jinzhou for a while, but what if General Yang also gets involved in the war in Xijing City one day, regardless of leaving?" Not to mention General Yang's side, it is Beijiao's side, ready to move. Once the westward attack is made, Jinju will suffer only a moment. Not to mention Emperor Mingde, who has always coveted the wealth of the Shen family. ”
Arguably. The Shen family is now in crisis. Now it's not as good as seven or eight years ago, at that time, when you were in trouble, you can still move, and you left, and now the whole world is in chaos, where to go?
What kind of person Mrs. Shen is, the current situation, there is no need for Xu Qirong to say, she sees it more thoroughly than Xu Qirong! Now that I heard Xu Qirong say this, I hated the incompetence of my sons even more, and even a little lady could see the things, and they were still immersed in the joy of the chaos in the world Jinzhou Shang'an!
Xu Qirong continued: "Grandmother, when I was in Yangzhou, it was not the intention of Duke De to deal with the Xu family, the Hua family was driven by the prince, and every word and deed was instructed by the prince. ”
Old Madam Shen said coldly: "Fighting for tigers and dogs is even more hateful!" ”
Xu Qirong was silent for a moment, Hua Yude's image in her heart was originally very tall, but now when Mrs. Shen said this, it looked like a dog's leg!
But if you think about it, it's not unreasonable.
Xu Qirong had no choice but to restrain his thoughts and continued: "Now that Duke De and the Hua family have parted ways, the Shen family has cooperated with him, which must be of some benefit. ”
"Seeking skin with a tiger," Old Madam Shen shook her head, "It's unwise." ”
Xu Qirong had already guessed Mrs. Shen's attitude, and was not discouraged, and said bluntly: "Grandmother, the Shen family is sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, who in the world is not red-eyed?" If you don't find a backer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end well! After a pause, Xu Qirong continued, "If this matter is only beneficial to Duke De, even if the knife is on my neck, I will not open this mouth with my grandmother, but this matter is clearly beneficial to the Shen family, why should my grandmother stick to old grudges?" ”
"Besides," Xu Qirong pursed her lips and pulled Mrs. Shen's arm to be coquettish, "Sister Rong doesn't want her grandmother to cooperate immediately, as long as your grandmother speaks, let the uncles agree to see Duke De and discuss with him, whether the matter is successful or not, Duke De promised me that he will not embarrass the Shen family." ”
Old Madam Shen glanced at her and sighed: "Do you still want me to deal with this matter immediately?" Although your three uncles have some talent in business, and their brains are more sensitive than ordinary people, but this Hua Yude was able to fool your uncles into agreeing to the water a few years ago, and now as long as there is a chance to sit down and discuss, your uncles promise to cooperate is not something that people can easily do? ”
Old Madam Shen glanced at Xu Qirong: "I have always thought that you are smart, and you are a little similar to your mother, what kind of ecstasy soup are you eating now, and you are helping outsiders one by one?" People say that girls are extroverted, but my granddaughter, who hasn't said anything about others, why did she turn her elbow outward? ”
Xu Qirong's face flushed: "What is grandmother talking about?" Sister Rong is clearly thinking about the Shen family! ”
Old Madam Shen sighed, she is old, she has endured hardships, and she has enjoyed wealth, but her children and grandchildren are all born in the blessed nest, if there is chaos today, she has lived enough in her life, she is not afraid of anything, but she can't watch her children and grandchildren be displaced and even their lives are in danger! These days, she is also thinking about the way out of the Shen family, and even wants to go over to join Chen Jinling's rebels or the Shu Dynasty, but Hua Yude has never been in the scope of consideration.
It's just that his granddaughter can't give face at all, and said, "I remember that you have always been friendly with the Lord of Frost Mercy. "Even if you want to find a way out for the Shen family, you should start with Chen Jinling's rebels, why did Hua Yude suddenly appear?
Xu Qirong bit his lip before he said: "The little prince rebelled, from the courtiers to the people, people of insight have gone to serve, and now it has been a few months, and it is already too late for the Shen family to go again." What's more, there is a sister in the Du family, as long as the Shen family does not help Emperor Mingde, the little prince will win the world, and there will be a place for the Shen family. As for the Shu Dynasty, it has been catching and killing rich people for several months, and just after occupying a few cities, it can't wait to overhaul the palace, and the draft girl will enter Yaojing, which will definitely not be able to go long. ”
"Even so," Old Madam Shen wondered, "What ability does Hua Yude have to protect my Shen family?" If you have three points today, there is no Huayude! (To be continued.) )
