Zhang Qicheng was drinking tea in the study, and He Mingdao was talking with him.

He Mingdao is the son of Zuo Chunfang and the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, in this term, He Mingdao has been doing it for three years, waiting for the post of the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, but I didn't expect the emperor to think about that Yang Jing all the time.

"What did Scholar Xia say?" Zhang Qicheng asked.

He Mingdao sighed, "If Scholar Xia can help, there is no need for us to plan below, although the Holy Lord admires Yang Jing, he is also a little angry at Yang Jing's refusal to enter the office all these years, as long as the anger in the Holy Master's heart is stirred out, Yang Jing can be punished immediately." ”

That's what I want.

He Mingdao was a little strange, "This river is frozen, it's freezing and snowy, why did Mrs. Yang, who is over eighty years old, come over?" ”

Zhang Qicheng frowned and pondered.

There was no news from Yangzhou.

This is someone who quietly made arrangements, and they all said that Yang Jing has not been idle all these years, and he has taught students again, but he doesn't know which one he taught.

"This old lady Yang went directly to a relative's house, saying that she came to Beijing to fight the autumn breeze, and even Yang Jing refused to see her," He Mingdao said and paused, "I heard that it was because Yang Jing accepted a businessman's son as a student, and the old lady came to Beijing in a fit of anger." ”

If so, that's a good thing.

As soon as Mrs. Yang stirred up like this, the news spread faster.

……

Mrs. Shen Si called Wan Ning into the room to discuss, "What can you do?" ”

The news came from the Yang family, and she and the old man were in a hurry, but they didn't expect Wanning to be in a hurry. I sat down and asked, "Where did Brother Kun go?" ”

Mrs. Shen Si said: "I went to the school, I am afraid that I will fall behind in my schoolwork." Master Cui is not always available, in case Mr. Yang asks one day, Brother Kun doesn't know how to explain to Mr. Cui, this kid still wants to talk to Mr. Yang. ”

Without waiting for Wan Ning to speak, Shen said, "Tell your aunt quickly, your aunt heard that Mr. Yang is looking for a yard." I want to arrange and take Mrs. Yang over, your uncle thinks that this matter has something to do with our Shen family, and is about to go to the idea of helping. ”

"Mr. Yang bought a house. Uncles and aunts should not help. Wan Ning looked up.

Mrs. Shen Si said in surprise: "I heard that there is a rush over there...... At this time, if you don't help, let alone buy a house, it will not be easy to rent a house. ”

Wan Ning said: "Although Mr. Yang's place is small, he can't find another yard to live in, and it is said that Mr. Yang has taken hundreds of acres of land from our family." How can we make it clear if our family helps at this time. Even if we don't pay the money, Mr. Yang will be honest in vain, but we can send two rough mothers-in-law to help Mr. Yang clean the yard, after all, Mr. Yang Jing taught Brother Kun. ”

Shen thought for a moment, "What about the old lady?" Do you want to talk to someone? ”

Wan Ning looked at Mrs. Shen Si, "Uncle and Mother don't think that Old Lady Yang came to the capital because of Brother Kun?" ”

Mrs. Shen Si frowned slightly, "It's all spread outside, why is it not this?" ”

Wan Ning smiled and said, "It's not necessarily true if it spreads." Mr. Yang is a Kunge in Taixing, and our Shen family lives in Yangzhou. How could Mrs. Yang not know about the Shen family, if Brother Kun had already come to the door in Yangzhou, why bother to rush to the capital from Yangzhou, but Mr. Yang Jing mentioned it when he was in Taixing, this time he followed us into Beijing There is something to do, and Mr. Yang Jing must make it clear to Mrs. Yang before leaving. ”

"Our family met Mrs. Yang outside Beijing, and although Mrs. Yang didn't say anything, she didn't look at our family coldly, but relied on them to walk a little way."

"So Mrs. Yang is not angry at our family, and she just wants others to misunderstand when she releases those words."

You can't just look at one side of a person if you want to understand someone.

Mr. Yang Jing has been able to resign from office and stay at home for many years, and he has not carried his step-room through the door for five years after his wife's death, which shows that Mrs. Yang is not an elder who has to call the shots in everything, in this case, how could she come to the capital desperately for a penny child.

If so, it's inconsistent.

Wan Ning said: "Uncle, don't panic, how to treat Mr. Yang Jing, and how to treat Mr. Yang Jing, you must let Brother Kun go to see Mrs. Yang, and don't bring anything else, just the refreshments given to Mr. Yang Jing on weekdays." ”

Wouldn't that be too thin?

Mrs. Shen and Shen looked at each other.

Shen nodded, "Sister-in-law, just listen to Wanning." ”

……

Yao Yizhi was waiting for He Mingdao in the restaurant, and the two of them sat down and began to greet each other.

He Mingdao felt warm in his stomach after two glasses of wine, and then he began to speak, "When the Golden Palace is passed on in the spring next year, the scholars in the capital will know the elder brother." ”

Yao Yizhi smiled slightly, like a warm spring breeze, "Brother He, don't say that, in case you fall off the list, the younger brother will have no face to see." ”

He Mingdao shook his head, "Where will it be on the list." ”

Yao Yizhi has made some famous studies in Guozijian in the past two years, and even the doctor of Guozijian said that Yao Yizhi must be on the list this year.

"When the elder brother is admitted to the Jinshi, he will definitely enter the Hanlin Academy," He Mingdao paused, "The eldest prince has grown up, and the Zhan Mansion is the time to employ people......"

The rest is needless to say.

Yao Yizhi said with a smile: "I heard that the Ministry of Officials and the Cabinet recommended the Lord as Shao Zhan. ”

He Mingdao finally suppressed his smile, and said: "The saint is more interested in Yang Jing, and now there are rumors in the court and the middle of the court that the master and apprentice are in charge of the Zhan Mansion together, and they want to talk about it." ”

With Yang Jing's temper, he will definitely not be promoted to Shao Zhan, and the opportunity he has been waiting for will be gone.

Yao Yizhi said: "Didn't Lord Yang just go to Guozijian, I'm afraid it won't be easy to go from Guozijian to Zhan Shifu." ”

He Mingdao listened to Yao Yizhi's faint voice, and couldn't help but light up in his eyes, could it be that Yang Jing had no place in the country?

Yao Yizhi thought for a while, "If the adults have a plan in mind, they should have planned earlier." ”

He Mingdao is an indecisive person, and when he encounters a little resistance, he will look left and right, if Yang Jing is allowed to gain a firm foothold in the Guozijian, the emperor will not really consider handing over the eldest prince to Yang Jing.

Once Yang Jing takes charge of Zhan Shifu, it will be bad for him in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Qicheng kept asking to see Yang Jing under the pretext of Brother Huan. In order to win Yang Jing to his side, seeing that Yang Jing could not stand with them.

How can the duties of the prince and prince be handed over to someone who cannot control it.

……

The eldest princess of Jianing sat beside the queen, and the female officials and chamberlains in the house all retreated. The eldest princess's face was flushed.

"You tell the truth to this palace," the queen said, "how did you fall in love with Yao Yizhi?" ”

The eldest princess of Jianing handed the book in her hand to the queen, "Niangniang looked at these books, they were borrowed by the courtier sister from Mrs. Yao San by chance, and they were originally intended to be used for reading to the children and nephews around her, but she saw the words annotated on them." The sister's father-in-law said that he also wanted to meet Yao Yizhi, and asked Yao Yizhi to tell the younger generations of the family for a few days, and the mother could know the eldest son of the second room of the Liu family. In the past, the elders were so angry that he couldn't help it, but now he is studying in the clan studies with peace of mind," he said, lowering his eyes, "The courtier sister also heard that Yao Yizhi gave his wife three years before he came out of the imperial examination. To this day, there is no continuation. I read a book of poems he wrote, and I ...... In the past, the courtiers thought that it would be good to keep it like this for the rest of their lives, but if it wasn't for the royal brother mentioning that the courtiers would remarry, the courtiers would never dare to think about this. ”

The queen listened to the eldest princess of Jianing, this spring the emperor suffered from the wind and cold and fell ill in the palace of nourishing the heart, the eldest princess of Jianing personally watched the female official boil medicine in the palace, I heard that the emperor's illness did not improve, and the eldest princess of Jianing cried outside the palace of the queen mother.

After the emperor recovered from his illness, he made up his mind to find another good family for his only sister to marry.

The emperor had this thought. It just so happens that the eldest princess of Jianing also has someone in her heart, although Yao Yizhi has a wife. It's a concubine again, but it can be regarded as a meritorious person, and he is also one of the best people in the country, many people know this "Yao Sanlang", and now the Yao family has inherited Yao Yizhi to the clan, and he has become a serious son-in-law.

The emperor has always been sorry for the eldest princess's family business, when the first emperor was there, there were two candidates in his heart, one was the Liu family, and the other was Tao Benqian, who was born in Jinyiwei, the first emperor asked the emperor, the emperor still felt that the Liu family was more suitable, who knew that the eldest princess would be widowed so early.

As he spoke, the eldest prince came to ask for peace, and the queen instructed the palace people, "Take out the purple clay pot." ”

The eldest prince asked the prince to take out the purple sand unicorn that had been playing for a long time and put it in front of the queen, and then asked people to pour the brewed tea on it.

The queen looked at the unicorn in the tea tray and said with a smile: "This unicorn seems to be getting more and more beautiful." ”

The eldest prince straightened his back when he heard this.

The queen looked at the eldest prince, the eldest prince was raised by her since childhood, the emperor's heirs were thin, she was extra attentive to the eldest prince, and the education was stricter, so the eldest prince had too much awe of her, the last time Yao Wanning entered the palace, Yao Wanning took out these objects, but she didn't expect the eldest prince to like to play, she deliberately left the purple clay pot in her palace in order to let the eldest prince come a few more times, these days, she felt that the eldest prince was no longer so cautious, and there was a smile on her face.

After talking to the eldest prince for a while, the eldest princess of Jianing withdrew.

The queen mother left the eldest prince to eat before letting the palace people take the eldest prince to rest, and the eldest prince was unwilling to sleep in Yongshou Palace, as if he could not let go of the estrangement between him and her.

The people around the eldest prince are carefully selected by her, and it is impossible for a few palace people to chew the root of the tongue in the ears of the eldest prince, she has to take care of her mother's family outside the palace, and she has to take care of the affairs of the palace.

"Your Majesty......" The queen mother was slightly distracted, and when she raised her head again, she saw the bright yellow in front of her.

The emperor walked into the inner room in a few steps.

The queen mother stepped forward to salute, and the emperor helped the queen up, "How is your body?" Are you better? ”

The queen said: "These days are much better, and I have spirits. ”

The emperor nodded, remembering the matter of the eldest princess Jianing, "Have you asked Jianing clearly?" ”

The queen mother said those words to the eldest princess of Jianing.

The emperor sat on the big kang near the window, "Yao Yizhi, I have already asked people to inquire, it is similar to what Jianing said, he is quite smart, his brother has done a good job in the ministry, he has written a good hand, and he will definitely be able to pass the exam in the spring of next year." ”

Speaking of the Yao family, the queen remembered Yao's third wife, Zhang.

She didn't have a good impression of this Mrs. Yao San, Yao Wanning asked her to ask the doctor to treat Mrs. Yao San, she didn't take it to heart, and then asked casually, that Mrs. Yao San was not sick at all.

"What are you thinking?" The emperor looked at the empress with a thoughtful expression and asked in a low voice.

The queen mother said the doubts in her heart, "Mrs. Yao San and Jianing have always been good, and Jianing only met Yao Yizhi because of Mrs. Yao San, and I don't know if she has the intention to pull the strings." ”

Hearing this, the emperor frowned.

Is that Yao Yizhi calculating Jianing?

A gentle and elegant person on the surface, if he has a treacherous heart, he really has to think carefully about whether he can be Jianing's concubine.

The emperor sat down and took a sip of tea.

"How's going on over there in Zhan Shifu?" The queen asked the queen, "The eldest prince should go to school, and he has decided on Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, so he can start to choose famous Confucians from all over the world, and select talents of the same age to enter the palace to study." ”

The Emperor's eyes sank at the thought of this.

After many years of husband and wife, the queen sensed the emperor's anger, so she didn't dare to speak more but waited quietly for the emperor to speak.

"That Yang Jing, for so many years, he refused to enter the office, and he also said a lot of disrespectful things in private, I can ignore these things, I still use him to go to Guozijian, it's only been a few days, several doctors in Guozijian have complained about him, I think he did it on purpose, so that I can let him go back to the wilderness."

"It's not that there are no celebrities available in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and any of Zuo Chunfang's He Mingdao and the Ministry of Rites can hold this position."

"The emperor is angry," the queen said in a low voice, "If you can use He Mingdao and the Ministry of Rites, why are you so angry, your favorite in your heart is Yang Jing, Yang Jing has been away for so many years, and it is bound to be rusty when he re-enters, you didn't let him go directly to Zhan Shifu, just to give him time to adapt." ”

"The emperor has done so much, you might as well wait and see, if Yang Jing lives up to the emperor's hard work, it is not too late to punish Yang Jing, don't be angry for a moment and let the eldest prince miss a good master."

The queen could always hold back his anger, and a few soft words extinguished the fire in his chest.

Then take a look again to see what kind of character Yang Jing is.

……

Wan Ning helped Shen prepare snacks and send them to Mrs. Yang.

I go to deliver it every day, and I make home-cooked snacks, and sometimes I send needlework made by Shen and Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen Si smiled and said, "I didn't expect to accept it all." ”

As soon as the words fell, the subordinates outside came in and said, "Mrs. is not good, the sixth master can't find it." ”

Brother Kun can't find it?

Shen Shi and Mrs. Shen Si were stunned, and Wan Ning asked, "Didn't the sixth master go to the academy?" How could I not find it? ”

"I went to the school, and every day is at this time to get out of school, but today the sixth master sent the little guy around him away, and when the little guy went to the school to find the sixth master, the sixth master was gone."
