478 Smell the family trouble
Su Yan looked innocent, "What the third brother read just now is the "Beauty Fu" he wrote?" ”
What does it have to do with her? Isn't it just a poem.
Jiang Shupeng nodded.
A subordinate voice came from outside: "The big man calls the little one." ”
Jiang Shupeng said: "What is the eldest brother doing with such a big fire, you are in a hurry, I don't know what I think is my sister in the words." ”
Jiang Shuhong said: "Recently, there are many young ladies living in the house, and it is not good to spread the word. ”
"After tomorrow, Cousin Jianbai will take Tang Guan to the library of the Imperial City Academy to study, and he doesn't have to live in our house. Why rush at this time, besides, Tang Guan is talented, he writes well, he writes poetry well, he has dabbled in piano and chess, and he has some face, which is helpful for the inheritance of heirs, inheritance, and good learning. ”
Jiang Shupeng said lightly.
Jiang Shuhong thinks about it, it's the same thing. Said loudly to the outside: "It's okay, step down." ”
Jiang Shupeng said: "The little sister lives in a simple house, except for going to Ruyi Hall on time every day to ask her mother for peace, and she doesn't even go out of the courtyard gate of the Moon Pavilion when she is next to her. Can't say anything from the outside? No matter how crazy Tang Guan is, he still doesn't talk nonsense. ”
Jiang Shuhong was very moved, especially Su Yan's "family will have to share the ups and downs and support together", if it is he who is down, with Su Yan's temperament, he will not stand by and watch, and will do his best to help. A woman can still do it, and he, as a big brother, naturally has to protect his little sister even more.
Jiang Shuncheng said: "Tell me about the recent things in the court." ”
Jiang Shuhong replied and carefully told Jiang Shuncheng about all the major events that happened in the court.
Su Yan became a complete listener at the moment, listening to their discussions and expressing their opinions, just sipping tea with her head down, and taking a sip after a while, such a casual listen, but actually listening attentively.
"The Wen family's case has been decided. Hearing that his noble father and son asked after the autumn. The other men are equipped with Changping Chongjun. A woman who has reached the age of 15 is not an official prostitute, and a woman under the age of 15 is an official servant. All the subordinates of the Wen family were auctioned at the entrance of the Western cuisine market after the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
Jiang Shuncheng twisted his beard, "I remember, the Wen family also has a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet, how old is this year?" ”
Jiang Shupeng said: "I heard that there are thirteen or fourteen years old. A few days ago, news came from the Imperial Prison. He said that if a man was willing to give a hundred taels of silver as a concubine before he was condemned. She was spared from condemnation. But for months, no one mentioned it. ”
Su Yan heard that Wen Yawu was originally going to be promised to the royal children, but later King Jing and King Ning both committed crimes, and the Wen family was also imprisoned. For Wen Yawu such an identity. There are many people who are afraid of scruples.
Jiang Shuhong said: "When Chuanyuan got married, the Wen family was domineering, who would have thought that it would become another appearance after a few months. ”
Jiang Shuncheng said with deep feelings: "The Xue family of Dingguo Mansion is a century-old family, and it is a hero who has fought the world with Emperor Taizu. Jiangnan An Guogong participated in the Jiangnan officials' corruption of ink, greedy for huge amounts of money, was taken captive and knighted, and his family was exiled to Xiangping, an extremely cold place. ”
Dingguo Gong Xue's family is Princess Jing's maiden family. Because of helping King Jing, he got the end of being beheaded.
For the case of rebellion. The new emperor will not be merciful in the slightest.
Although Jiangnan Anguo Gong had the daughter of the eleventh princess, he couldn't keep the glory of the family, and he was exiled after taking the title and demoting the official.
Su Yan had heard about Xiangping, where the winter was extremely cold, and the man was fine. If it is a woman, how can she bear it?
"Our Jiang family does not seek glory and wealth, but seeks family and peace." Jiang Shuncheng looked at Jiang Shuhong calmly, "This time my father is not in the imperial city, your brother has done a good job." In the court, for some courtiers who have a good reputation and have made mistakes, they can say two good words to help them say two sentences. There is no need to intercede with the emperor in private, if you talk too much, it will not work when it comes to the critical moment. ”
Jiang Shuncheng's meaning is very clear: when the court meeting, you have to help say good things, but these good words are insignificant, but there is no need to owe the emperor favors for the affairs of others.
"When it comes to speaking for people at the court meeting, this is also a particular thing, how to say, if you want to neither embarrass the emperor nor make the opposing courtiers angry, you have to talk about skills."
How is tactfulness cultivated?
Jiang Shuncheng has been tempered by decades of wind and rain, and Jiang Shupeng is the warmth of a scholar, but at this moment, the three sons listened to it with relish. Jiang Shun's sincere mouth is like a river, and Su Yan is so admirable that he listens to it.
Her father really has the potential to be a traitor, but in recent years, he has changed his image and become a good minister and a virtuous minister.
"My Jiang family doesn't do anything that falls into the ground, and even the Wen family won't retaliate." Jiang Shuncheng paced back and forth, "The boss will go back and inquire and find a way to fish out Sister Wen'er." ”
A good girl, she actually wants to be an official prostitute, an official maid, and now she is less than fifteen or an official maid, but she is afraid that when she is old, she will inevitably be occupied by erotic officials, and she can be an aunt, if it is not good, she will become an official prostitute. Wen Eighth Sister's name is Yawu, Jiang Shuncheng has seen it, she is the most outstanding among the sisters of the Wen family, it is a pity if such a good girl is ruined.
Jiang Shuncheng and Jiang Shuhong both watched Sister Wen Ba'er be born, and they couldn't see death without help.
In his early years, Jiang Shuncheng framed people, but he was not a person without conscience, he supported his clansmen, was consistent with his wife, and loved his children.
Jiang Shuhong said: "Dad, I heard that if someone is willing to hire her as a wife, she can be exempted from being an official maid, and it is not easy to find someone to marry." ”
The Jiang family's sons are not allowed to take concubines.
It's been a few months, and no one has paid for Wen Yawu.
The Wen family committed the great crime of instigating the royal descendants to plot rebellion, and the first emperor was furious when he learned about it. The new emperor is the most filial, and he will not let go of the Wen family easily.
Jiang Shukun said: "Sister Wen Liu'er married into the Eleventh Palace, although she was guilty, but it was always her sister, let's help fish people out first, and send her to the Eleventh Palace. ”
Why didn't the eleventh prince find a way to rescue the Wen family?
When the Wen family had an accident, they found Wen Yayun's fault, and demoted Wen Yayun from the position of side concubine to Zhengqipin Zhaoxun, if she hadn't had the eldest son, I am afraid that she would have been rushed to the nunnery to retreat.
After sitting for a while, the brothers and sisters came out of the big study.
Su Yeon walked softly, following behind her three elder brothers.
Is the danger of the Jiang family really over?
The new Emperor Yu Wenxuan values the Jiang family, and he also appreciates Jiang Shupeng.
Both the first emperor and the new emperor liked Jiang Shupeng's calligraphy and appreciated his talent.
Jiang Shupeng slowed down, "What's wrong with my sister today?" ”
Su Yan asked: "Third brother, has our Jiang family been in the limelight too much in the past few months?" ”
Jiang Shuhong laughed. "What is our Jiang family, the most popular ones are the Zhenguo Mansion and Fu Youxiang Mansion. In the previous period, the Shu family was the most popular, and the Shu nobles bought a murderous assassination of the queen, angered the emperor, deprived Shu Guo of his uncle's title, and the family was exiled to Lingnan. If it weren't for the face of the Queen Mother, I was afraid that the emperor would directly order the beheading. ”
The new emperor attaches equal importance to grace and power. So-yeon no longer dared to say that he was indecisive. The heart is too soft.
Whether it was because of the change in her words or other reasons, So-yeon didn't know the answer.
In her eyes, it seemed that everyone had changed.
Jiang Shuhong became more and more calm.
Jiang Shupeng has become more frank and upright. In the Cao family, the Li family, and the He family, they can lend a helping hand when they are in danger, and the imperial city officials do not say that the Jiang family values love and righteousness.
However, it is such a good praise that also makes Su Yan uneasy.
Jiang Shukun said: "The emperor makes people respectful. ”
I thought that the new emperor was young, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public after ascending the throne, and he dealt with several major cases one after another. Which is not cautious step by step, even Cui Zuoxiang is busy thinking about self-preservation, not to mention others.
Jiang Shupeng and Su Yan walked side by side. From time to time he gently looked at her side. "Sister, you'd better be careful lately, it's not good to gossip with Tang Guan, in case it reaches the ears of the left shoulder palace and Yan Shizi......"
Su Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, "The body is not afraid of shadows." ”
"A few of us who are brothers believe in you. But does Yan Shizi also believe in you? ”
Jiang Shupeng was kind-hearted, and his face was full of concern for her.
Su Yan said softly: "Third brother, I have my own measure. I haven't seen him a few times, so how did he come up with the first "Beauty Fu". ”
Jiang Shukun looked disapplieving, "There are hundreds of women in the family, what is the place of Deyue Pavilion?" None of us as brothers have ever been in, and others disdain to talk about it. ”
Others want to bite the root of their tongues, and let others go, as long as they are relatives and believe in their sisters.
Jiang Shuhong said: "Ming'er sent him away, so as not to regenerate right and wrong." ”
Jiang Shupeng had been in contact with Tang Guan for a few days, and knew that this person was quite talented, and he would be above him in time.
Su Yan hung her head and did not keep silent.
When passing by Ruyi Hall, Bai Fei stood aside with a bamboo silk lantern and bowed.
Jiang Shupeng said: "Serve the county lord carefully. ”
Bai Fei replied "yes".
Su Yan said: "Brother also rested earlier, Ming'er is a day off, remember to help me comment on calligraphy and painting." I've framed it and I'm ready to send it to the auction house. ”
Jiang Shupeng asked: "If you get the silver, you will send it to Xinglin Academy?" ”
So-yeon shook her head, "Not this time." This time, I was going to use it as a dowry for the old palace maid of the Jin cadastre. ”
Jiang Shukun said: "How do you think of a play." ”
Su Yan said to Jiang Shuhong: "Big brother, you go back and tell your sister-in-law, you have avoided your mother for the past few days, I am worried that my mother's breath has not come out, and I have to find an opportunity to sprinkle it on you and my sister-in-law." asked for peace every day, so that the sister-in-law found an excuse to avoid it. ”
This sister thinks more than him.
Jiang Shuhong said, "I know the way."
Su Yan led Bai Fei away.
The three brothers were still looking at her back.
Jiang Shuhong said: "My sister is clever and eccentric, and I didn't lift the roof of Muyuan Hall today. I looked at her and shuddered. ”
Jiang Shukun smiled, remembering her appearance when she made a big fuss in Muyuantang, and couldn't help laughing, "The movements, tone, and momentum are still nine points like my mother." ”
Jiang Shupeng couldn't stand it, how could he say this about his sister, "Big brother, don't get cheap and sell well, if it weren't for my sister to solve the crisis for you today, if my mother really got angry and made a fuss, it wouldn't be so easy to clean up." With my mother's temper, if I know that the fifth brother's family is in prison, neither of me and my eldest brother can escape, and the scolding is light, and crying and making trouble is a headache. Don't say it, in this family, there is really only one sister who can cure my mother. Which of you tried her trick and it worked? No one is useful, she can only use it. ”
