Because I heard that there is a camphor tree in the Rongguo Mansion that will emit a strange fragrance, I went to the Gu family to find the Qi family on this day.

After Lu Ding's incident, the Shen family and the Gu family moved around significantly more, and in the recent court discussions, Shen Guanyu has also repeatedly seconded Rong Guogong's rectification of the military camp. The harmony between the Gu family and the Shen family was also praised by the emperor.

Qi is a straight person, and after a lot of contacts, he found that Shen Yan was not the kind of girl who was tricky and domineering, and his attitude towards Shen Yan gradually improved, and now he has developed to the point where he can sit down and chat.

The biggest difference between Qi and Fahrenheit is that Fahrenheit is too rigid, while she is more feminine. If it is too rigid, it is easy to break, so it is easy for Fahrenheit to hit the breaking point, but she met a good-natured Shen Mi in her life, so she spent the next ten years of marriage relatively happily.

The careful-eyed Qi family lived well in his previous life. This may be another time when she met Gu Zhicheng, who acted roughly, but was accustomed to thinking twice.

Of course, whether a person is happy or not, whether the road ahead will turn into a tragedy is not just judged by a certain point.

Qi sat on the couch with her, drinking tea and eating grapes.

There are not so many rules in the meritorious home, Qi said that he had a back pain after sitting for a long time, so he dragged the pillow over and crooked it, and saw that Shen Yan was still sitting on the chair with a straight hand like a daffodil, so he patted the big pillow next to him and beckoned: "Come up, there are no outsiders, where are there so many rules?" The girl's house will have a big ass if she sits for a long time. ”

Shen Yan almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea.

How else could she say that she liked to run to the Gu family more and more? Although the Qi family doesn't have any city government, this rough man is really angry with her.

The two of them crooked on the couch and talked a few words, and when it came to the birthday banquet in the palace not long after, Qi said: "I heard that this time the Shenji Battalion and half of the Chinese military camp have been transferred to guard the palace city, except for the emperor's enthronement ceremony and the canonization of the queen and crown prince, this is the first time." ”

"Why?" Shen Yan asked. She didn't remember if it was like this in her previous life, she only remembered that she went to the palace for a banquet and came out, and then she entered the palace a few times in those years, and her impression of this birthday banquet was blurred.

"Why, it's not because of Lu Ding's accident a few days ago?"

Qi glanced at her, picked up a moist grape in his left hand wearing two huge ruby gold rings and put it in his mouth, swallowed it slowly, and said, "Didn't many people outside guess that this was done by the Green Forest bandits or even the remnants of the previous dynasty?" It happened that some displaced people fled from Guangxi, and the emperor was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to attack the palace, so he transferred heavy troops. Fortunately, our prince let people erase the beginning and the end. ”

These things didn't seem to be regarded as taboo in the Gu family, or because it was no longer a secret, or because both sides had already conspired to do bad things, and the Qi family was not at all defenseless against her, a young Miss Beppu. And this is exactly what Shen Yan needs, the Qi family is the wife of the Gu family, and the news she says is often true.

Although this matter basically has nothing to do with her, she doesn't mind chatting about it, "Hasn't Guangxi already sent Qin to send a messenger over, why are there still displaced people escaping?" ”

Speaking of this, Qi's face became solemn, she turned around, faced her and said: "I heard that there was an accident with the batch of disaster relief silver in Guangxi, and it was said that it was 100,000 taels, but when it got there, it was missing 30,000 or 40,000. It's only because of the Queen Mother's birthday that this matter has been suppressed for the time being! ”

When Shen Yan heard this, his whole person paused there.

Sure enough, something happened! And there was a deficit of as much as 30,000 or 40,000 taels! From this point of view, it is reasonable that Lu Ingot would be guilty and die in his previous life. However, since even the Qi family already knows about this matter, then Shen Mi and Shen Guanyu must have received the news, why haven't they seen Shen Mi reveal the wind in the past two days?

It's okay for other things, after all, the person who almost got into the whirlpool this time was Lu Ind, and it was impossible for Shen Mi not to mention half a sentence at home.

"How long has this been going on?" She asked.

"Just yesterday." Qi said. "That's why I remembered this that I chatted when I saw you. I heard that there had been a rumor for a long time, and said that it was because of this that the emperor decided to start ordering the Jinyi Guard to privately and thoroughly investigate the public accounts of the various yamen, and now the six departments and the major military camps are also taking inventory. ”

After speaking, she turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, printed her lips with a silk, and then turned her hand to open the dark cabinet on the several cases under the bed, took out her lip grease and sipped it.

Shen Yan pondered silently, if it was only spread yesterday, it would be no wonder, Shen Mi may not have received the news so quickly. And if the emperor plans to close the accounts of the yamen, it is estimated that he intends to carry out a new round of purging, although it has been fifteen or sixteen years since the founding of the country, but in the end there are still some diehards, and now the new dynasty has almost the same control over the world, and some dissidents should naturally be removed.

So what Mrs. Shen has been hanging on her mind these days, will it also be related to this matter? Could it be that something happened to the Ministry of Rites?

She asked, "Have you heard anything about the Ministry of Rites?" she asked. ”

"Ministry of Rites?" Qi raised his head, thought for a while, and said for a moment: "I haven't heard of any movement." The emperor has been paying more and more attention to your Shen family recently, didn't he just transfer your fourth uncle to the sixth department a few days ago? Just yesterday, the king of Chu asked Shen Shilang for a painting in front of the emperor in the Qianqing Palace, and I heard that the emperor also borrowed the four treasures of the study and the imperial case to your grandfather, and then stamped the treasure seal on the painting. ”

The king of Chu is the only son of Concubine Shu and one of the emperor's favorite princes, he went to ask for paintings, which proves that the Shen family has not yet reached the point where they need to avoid taboos, and the emperor lent the four treasures of the study and the imperial case on the spot, which shows that the emperor himself is also very face-saving to Shen Guanyu. In this case, there shouldn't be anything wrong with the Shen family, why is Mrs. Shen so weird recently?

She still wanted to ask carefully, but looking at Qi's appearance, she estimated that Gu Zhicheng was coming back soon, so she went down to the ground and let Fu Niang put on her shoes, and said goodbye: "I'll borrow this camphor tree first, and then I'll send it to the young lady when my cousin leaves." ”

Qi also got off the ground: "Whatever you want, it doesn't matter." ”

As they were talking, there was a sudden snapping sound under the back window, and the two looked up, but they saw nothing.

"I'm afraid it's a cat." Qi explained.

Shen Yan said goodbye under the second gate and walked out of the Gu family's mansion with Fu Niang.

In fact, she also hurried back to the house, if Gu Zhicheng came back, Shen Mi must have also arrived at the house. She hopes to learn more about the court from him, such as the reaction of all levels after the Guangxi ink corruption case, and other things. Mrs. Shen values the future of the family the most, if it weren't for the Shen family's affairs, she wouldn't be so abnormal.

And at the moment, apart from the fact that the affairs of the court can affect the future of the Shen family, what else can there be?

The afternoon sun shines through the high courtyard walls of the two mansions in the alley.

She turned the corner in the setting sun before entering the alley, and suddenly a person jumped out of the stab, grabbed her wrist and ran to the other end of the alley.

Fu Niang shouted "girl" in panic, and was about to catch up with her, but Song Jiang jumped out of nowhere, grabbed her sleeve and said, "What are you panicking about!" That's our son-in-law! ”

When Fu Niang heard that it was Gu Song, she was stunned for a moment, but she didn't chase after her.

Gu Song has been defeated repeatedly under Shen Yan, Song Jiang is not worried, what kind of heart does she have?

Shen Yan was dragged deep into the alley by Gu Song, and pulled his hand out, "What are you doing?" Men and women do not kiss each other. ”

Gu Song stiffened his face, snorted, forced her into a corner, pointed at her nose and said, "I have long thought that there is some secret between you and my parents, and sure enough, I found out!" Lu Ingot disappeared before leaving Beijing, you conspired to do it, didn't you?! ”

Shen Yan looked at him sideways, stroked his wrist and did not speak.

Gu Song pointed at her hatefully and reprimanded: "Lu Deng is your elder, and he has never committed any evil, why did you do this?" Do you know that this almost ruined someone's future! ”

Looking at the face that was close at hand, as well as the alertness in those eyes, and the two rows of gurgling steel teeth, Shen Yan suddenly remembered the sound under the back window just now.

Under the back window of the prince of the Guogong Mansion, where can there be such wild cats who don't know whether they are alive or dead?

She stared at him up and down a few times, raised her eyebrows, and said, "How many times have you done this kind of voyeurism?" ”

Gu Song's face froze, and he put down the hand that was holding her shoulder and glared at her.

Shen Yan walked in front of him and stretched out his five fingers: "Is there so many?" ”

"You don't have to worry about me!" Gu Song knocked her hand off, gritted his teeth and glared at her, and his voice squeezed out of his throat: "Lu Ingot is an official of the imperial court, aren't you afraid that you will be killed after the defeat?!" Is my father crazy enough to come up with such an idea, and get involved with you crazy girl! ”

"Then you'll have to ask Ling Zun."

Shen Yan flicked his sleeves and stood up straight.

Since the matter couldn't be contained, she had to admit it. But how to tell him about it, she can't be the master.

However, Gu Song's ability to come out and seek justice for Lu Deng surprised her. It is rare for this third ancestor who goes in and out with a coffin board face all day long, and still has such a warm-hearted heart.

Could it be pretended?

She stood up straight, looking at him.

He said with a tiger face: "Look at what! ”

"Let's see if you went to the theater to worship the teacher." She raised her lips and folded her hands leisurely.

Gu Song was about to smoke above his head, and he actually compared him to a play......

"I'm not as boring as you!" He glared at her.

Angry, but he was not so angry this time, which was really a bit unexpected Shen Yan.

She looked behind him and said, "Hey, why haven't I seen you with Song Jiang recently?" ”

When Gu Song heard this, he couldn't help but glance at her again. But this glance is no longer as murderous as before. R1152
