Chapter 315: Lost? (2nd Update)
Because they only went to bed in the early morning, on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, the masters of the two marquis mansions, except for Jin Xida and Shujie, the two poor marquis, went directly to the court without taking a nap, and the others slept collectively and lazily.
Shuwen, who had slept enough, sighed while drinking porridge: "So many people want to be officials, what's the good of being an official?" "It's hard work.
Nangong Miao glared at him and said with a smile: "It's nonsense again, the boy studied hard and was admitted to the Jinshi, isn't it just to show his ambitions in his career?" ”
Shuwen muttered quietly: "When I pass the championship, I will not be able to enter the official career, and I will be the first champion of the Great Zhou Dynasty." ”
Shuwen's voice was extremely small, except for Shu Yao, everyone else only knew that he was muttering, but they couldn't hear what he was saying.
Nangong Miao was busy handing out red envelopes to his subordinates after breakfast, and the major stewards in the store and Zhuangzi would come to the Hou Mansion to pay New Year's greetings and receive dividends, and he was busy, and he didn't care what this little uncle who often had whimsical ideas was muttering, and continued to laugh and said: "Father-in-law and your eldest brother didn't come back so soon, and when those big stewards came, you were responsible for greeting them." Then again, you should be more proficient in those things than your father-in-law and your eldest brother. ”
Shuwen's talent in business is now no secret in the Lianghou Mansion and several close families, even the master of Nangong likes to "chat" with Shuwen, after listening to some of Shuwen's novel theories, he praised it, and lamented that there is no such business genius among the children and grandchildren of the Nangong family.
Nangong Miao is not too surprised, she heard Aunt Lan say that many of the unique ideas of "Shizhen Zhai" were preceded by her mother-in-law Donnie Yen, and Jin Xida's chicken powder workshop was also her mother-in-law's idea. Since then, she has not been surprised by the commercial talents of the book. With my mother.
In Nangong Miao's heart. Donnie Yen is a smart woman. Otherwise, how could they give birth to a pair of smart children like Shu Yao and Shu Wen, how could they raise Shu Jie so well, and respect and attach to her like a mother?
Shu Yao now wants to help Nangong Miao take care of the middle feed, and naturally she has to go with her to see those stewards, the three uncles and sisters-in-law accompanied Mrs. Jin to finish breakfast, and were about to go to the meeting room, when they saw Mother Yan, who had just come back, with a dark face, as if she had quarreled with someone.
Shu Wenqi said: "Mother Yan." Didn't you just come back from your daughter's son-in-law's house? Who you off? "Mother Yan's daughter is pregnant with her second child, and two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Shuwen gave Mother Yan a three-day holiday, asking her to help her daughter prepare for the New Year, and then return home after Chinese New Year's Eve.
Mother Yan didn't expect that she was so uncomposed, and her mood was on her face, so she hurriedly smiled reluctantly: "No, no, how can the old slave quarrel with others?" I should have kept the New Year's Eve last night, so I didn't sleep. ”
Shu Yao smiled: "Mother Yan." You're smiling more than not smiling, what happened? Say it and maybe we can help you. "Mother Yan's life is going well. Although the daughter and son-in-law are not rich, they are also rich in food and clothing, and they are also filial to her. Because Yan's mother has been loyal and meticulous in taking care of Shuwen since she entered the house, Shuwen also trusts her and entrusts her to take care of all the affairs in Xinghui Garden. Shu Yao thought that if Yan's mother or her daughter and son-in-law really encountered any difficulties, they could help, and the Lianghou Mansion would naturally help.
Nangong Miao also said: "Mother Yan, you have always been cool, what happened today, what happened?" ”
Mother Yan couldn't hide it, thinking that her masters would always go out, and sooner or later they would hear it, so she gritted her teeth and said: "The old slave did quarrel with someone, that is, the mother of the treasure bead who lived in the same alley as my big girl, and the Lin mother-in-law who was the housekeeper mother at home, was broken, and said irresponsible at the mouth of the alley early in the morning, saying that our two marquis mansions had fallen out of favor and were going to be unlucky, and said that people in the capital knew the way."
Mother Yan was very angry, not only what Mrs. Lin said, but on the way back just now, she did hear someone gossiping. Many people are saying that the two marquis mansions are pampered and arrogant, and they are married to Prince Yong's mansion, and Yongping Marquis Xia Shujie reprimanded the eldest prince and the nine princes in person, disrespecting the royal family. The emperor was provoked, and there was no seizure at that time, but in the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet list, in addition to their names, none of the family participated.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, the list of palace banquets on Chinese New Year's Eve is the emperor's statement board, and the more places in the palace to participate in the banquet, the more favored it is; Whoever is suddenly invited to a banquet is what he has done recently, or he has performed outstanding this year, and the emperor will reuse it; And if you participated last year and suddenly don't have a part this year, you have to worry, which is usually a warning......
Shuwen smiled after hearing this: "Mom, are you so angry about this?" ”
Mother Yan smiled awkwardly, isn't it? If it weren't for her daughter and son-in-law pulling her and saying that she couldn't make trouble for the Lianghou Mansion anymore, she would have stepped forward and thrown a big mouth at the two of them. Even if the emperor has any misunderstanding about the two marquis, it will not be the turn of a mother-in-law of the Yu family to say long and short, right?
Shu Yao sighed in her heart, when did the eldest brother teach the eldest prince and the ninth prince? For what? That's not supposed to be Big Brother's style.
Shu Yao suddenly thought that on the day Shu Jie returned home, there was a moment of cold air emanating from his body, which should be what happened that day. The eldest brother was afraid that they would be worried, so he didn't say anything.
……
What made Nangong Miao and Shu Yao's sisters and brothers cry and laugh was that the chief stewards had heard some bad rumors on the way to the Hou Mansion, and they were all indignant. There are also many people who are worried about the masters, because they know that the masters did not go to the palace banquet last night.
Shu Yao and the three of them didn't explain, they just smiled happily, what to do, and reminded everyone not to discuss the affairs of the imperial court, which has always been the rule of the Lianghou Mansion.
Jin Xida and Shujie came back in the evening, it was also funny, today's court meeting, the civil and military colleagues are really full of flowers, all kinds of faces, worried, sympathetic, doubtful, and more gloating. Even, some people can't wait to be the first person to go down to the river by feeling the stones, and talk about "kings and ministers" in the hall.
If it weren't for the fact that the court meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year was mainly for the New Year, and it was generally not suitable to hand over the excerpts, especially the impeachment, Kim Xida assured that there would be many people who would fold the bullets to impeach him and Shujie for their "arrogant and bad deeds" on weekdays.
"Huh? "Then there won't be a lot of people going to impeach you tomorrow." ”
Kim Heeda Ha Lu Ha laughed: "Isn't it? The emperor is playing hard, and he deliberately doesn't talk to me and Jie'er today, looking like he really wants to be alienated. If it weren't for the emperor smiling smugly at him behind his back, and making a gesture that only the two of them knew, Jin Xida would have been confused. He wasn't worried about "falling out of favor", but thought that the emperor was angry because they didn't attend the palace banquet.
Shu Yao is almost dizzy, how old is this, and you still like to play like this? Uh, well, my mother is right, the emperor is also a human being, and he will be bored, right?
Shuwen also pouted: "The emperor is about to catch up with the master." ”
Shujie smiled and gave him a popping chestnut: "Nonsense! The emperor is not the simple game you think. The man sitting at the top just likes to watch people "play" and watch those who stare at his face "busy" all day long.
Shu Yao originally wanted to ask the eldest brother about "reprimanding the eldest prince and the ninth prince", but seeing the leisurely appearance of the righteous father and the eldest brother who had nothing to do, he believed that even if there was something wrong, it should be solved, so he didn't mention it again.
Shuwen couldn't help asking.
Since there were rumors of Banlazi outside, Shujie didn't want his grandmother, wife, and younger siblings to worry, so he simply told the matter as it was.
Shu Yao's eyes flashed, and she met the gaze of Shangliu's mother. Mother Liu just received information this morning, and Murong Shangshu is about to die, and it is estimated that it will only be a matter of the next few days.
"Big brother," Shuwen's reaction was also very fast, "What about Big Brother Gao, didn't you say that Big Brother Gao also went to see Murong Shangshu?" "I just got seriously ill, and I can't even do a miracle doctor, and then heal so quickly? Can this illness be hidden? I don't believe the books and texts of other imperial doctors and Lang Zhong, but Brother Gao should be credible.
Shujie pursed his lips: "Brother Gao gave Murong Shangshu a consultation for two days, so he left Beijing and went back to his hometown in the south, saying that he would go to find medicine and collect medicine, and he didn't return to Beijing so soon" Murong Mansion regarded Gao Mingde as a lifesaver, Gao Mingde asked himself if he could save Murong Shangshu, and he didn't want to entangle with them, so he found an excuse to leave Beijing.
Shu Yao secretly snorted coldly, is it true that this big prince wants to save Murong Shangshu, and he wants to pull the Lianghou Mansion into the water, right? Fortunately, the eldest brother is decisive and tough enough.
Shu Yao exchanged glances with Mother Liu, thinking that even if Murong Shangshu swallowed his breath, the news of his death would not come out so quickly, right? So what can they do? Let him return to his hometown to "recuperate", and then quietly bury him, and wait a few months for the funeral?
Well, these days, I want to let that nail keep an eye on Murong Mansion.
……
The second year of junior high school is the day when my aunt and grandmother return to their parents' house, anyway, Jin Xida and Shujie "fell out of favor", and they happened to change their days off together, so that those who jumped out to impeach them in righteousness could speak freely in the hall.
Jin Xida accompanied Mrs. Jin to Liao's house, and Shujie accompanied Nangong Miao back to Nangong Mansion. Shu Yao and Shu Wen were invited by Princess Zhangzhu to visit Bao'er in the princess's mansion. Princess Zhangzhu also needs to recuperate, mostly staying in the princess's mansion, Bao'er is very well-behaved, except for going to the school and going to the Lianghou Mansion, she is the princess who accompanies him in the mansion.
When the Shuyao sisters and brothers arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion, Mama Rong and Bao'er were already waiting at the door. Mama Rong saluted Shu Yao's sister and brother but was stopped by Shu Yao, and said with a smile: "Second Master Xia, Miss Yao, you are here, the king of Xiaojun is muttering about picking you up, the princess has no choice but to promise him, if you don't arrive after a quarter of an hour, he will be allowed to pick up people." On the day when Bao'er recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, the emperor took pity on her sister and this little nephew who had been abducted for more than three years, and made Bao'er the king of Baojun.
