Qi Haoning saw Qi Yuexin standing at the door of his Zhiyuan Courtyard with two maids from a distance, and couldn't help frowning, what is she doing here? What kind of moth did Concubine Zhao come up with?

However, Qi Haoxiang and Qi Yuexin are his half-brothers and sisters, and he can't be as disgusted with them as he is with Concubine Zhao, he just doesn't like them. On the one hand, because the ink is black, not to mention that it is the biological child personally cultivated by Concubine Zhao. On the other hand, he was also afraid that Concubine Zhao would use his little brotherhood to calculate him.

Qi Yuexin didn't seem to see his unhappy face, and walked over affectionately to hold his arm: "Second brother, are you back?" Xin'er has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Qi Haoning is a person who practices martial arts, and his reaction is natural and quick, and before Qi Yuexin's hand reaches out, he raised his hand and touched his right eyebrow: "You have something to do with me?" Ruan Wenxin went back to the house, didn't you go with him? ”

At today's chrysanthemum banquet, Ruan Wenxin finally found an opportunity to share a table with him, a "brother-in-law". But there is no transgression in etiquette, and it is also a proper salute in front of people. Qi Haoning didn't embarrass him too much, just lightly, neither repulsive nor affectionate. As far as he knows, Nguyen Van Tan does have some talents, especially in the construction of water conservancy fortifications. This is not unrelated to the fact that he grew up by the river, and his father was a small official in charge of the construction of the embankment (who also died in the dam accident).

It's just that he doesn't know if he has too little confidence in the imperial court, or if he has seen too much collusion between officials since he was a child, and has spent too much effort on climbing relationships, he will abandon his teacher's grace and degrade his wife to marry Qi Yuexin. It's also because of his network theory, right?

For the sake of him, after all, he is the son of the father and the king. Something will affect my father's reputation to some extent. Qi Haoning finally mentioned the sister-in-law who was older than him: "Uncle Shengming, the emperor, fancy the true talent and ability of each minister, if you are good at something, you should give full play to him." If you don't have any grades, even if your father can't help you in the capital. And if you have the ability to really do the practical things that the emperor values, you don't have to be afraid of having no backstage. ”

At that time, Ruan Wenxin was stunned, pondering Qi Haoning's intention and meaning in his words. Qi Haoning stood up and left. A really smart person should soon be able to figure it out, and there is a good opportunity for him at the moment, and it depends on whether he is reluctant to leave the capital temporarily.

So, Qi Yuexin came to him now, didn't she accuse him for that incident? If that's the case, he's really nosy, but only this once.

Qi Yuexin's hand fluttered into the air, very embarrassed. But she knew that the current Qi Haoning had little patience with her. hurriedly explained his intention directly: "Before going out in the morning, the minister said that he would go to drink tea with a few friends and colleagues after the banquet, and I thought he wouldn't come back so soon." Second brother. I have something I want to ask you for. ”

A hint of clarity flashed in Qi Haoning's eyes, and it seemed that Ruan Wenxin was not hopeless. He happened to overhear Ruan Wenxin telling someone just now that there was an urgent matter in the house and he couldn't go to tea. The man asked with a strange expression, "Haven't you always been looking forward to the opportunity to fellowship with them?" Do you really want such a good opportunity? ”

Yunxiao told Qi Haoning that the person was from the household department, and Ruan Wenxin had been looking for a relationship to enter the household department, in fact, what he wanted to go to the most was the ministry of officials, but it was really difficult to enter the ministry of officials, and there were almost no vacancies in the past two years, so ......

Qi Yuexin saw that Qi Haoning was silent, her eyes were deep, thoughtful, and hurriedly explained: "It's not a matter in the court, and there is no need to intercede with the emperor's uncle or anything, it's just that he wants to borrow it...... Borrow the back garden of Fuman Garden, the lord of Fuxing Gui, to entertain some friends. ”

The birthday of the old mother of the Ministry of Shangshu was approaching, and when discussing what to do, the lady "casually" mentioned: If you can let your mother spend this birthday in a beautiful and luxurious place like Fumanyuan, it must be a complete circle, and it is better to be blessed and longevity than to invite a lot of guests. One sentence made the family look at the official book with burning eyes.

Even the old lady said: "You don't need so many people, it's okay to be noisy, just make a family lively." "My eyes are full of anticipation, Fumanyuan! The mansion of the lord of Fuxing is not just as beautiful and luxurious!

Last time, the lord of Fuxing County had a ceremony, and the Shangshu Mansion, which had no friendship with the two marquis mansions, only received a post inviting them to the husband and wife, and Mrs. Shangshu finally took her daughter cheekily. Others, including the old lady, two brothers, sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law, and daughters-in-law, and nephews, all had only envy and jealousy.

It just so happened that Mrs. Shangshu heard her father-in-law talk about Ruan Wenxin's jumping up and down and wanting to enter the ministry, so she said that sentence "casually". Ever since she came back from attending the Fuxing County Lord's ceremony, she was almost annoyed by the complaints of her other two daughters.

was "reminded" by his wife, and Shangshu, who has always been the most filial minister, was moved, and secretly found Ruan Wenxin, and tactfully said that the ministry should be able to vacate a vacancy early next year.

"Borrowed? Entertaining friends? Qi Haoning's face darkened, and the cold air in his voice almost froze the air around him, "Do you know what you're talking about?" Fumanyuan is Yao'er's county lord's mansion, Yao'er is still an unmarried girl's family, can she lend the mansion to a foreign man? If it were you, would you borrow it? "The only people who can entertain guests in Fumanyuan are Jin Xida, Shujie and Shuwen brothers, and even he, his fiancé, is not suitable before the wedding.

Qi Yuexin's face turned red: "No, second brother, Yiyuan (the name before the back garden of Fumanyuan) has another back door, which is integrated with the front house or can be separated, separated by two locked big hanging flower doors, and there is a mother-in-law guarding there." If the second brother is not at ease, he will send a few guards to watch the two doors at that time. ”

It was because of this that Shangshu dared to make such a request, otherwise, even if he didn't come forward himself, he was worried that Qi Haoning and Shujie would break his neck! And the murder caused by such a reason is to get the emperor to him, and he deserves it, and he can't get any benefits.

"Even that won't work out," Qi Haoning snorted coldly, he hadn't visited Fumanyuan himself, but these people knew it so well, "Whether it's Yao'er or the Lianghou Mansion, there is no friendship with the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials." Why should you lend them the back garden for their birthday? Outsiders can't guess if they don't know? "There are a lot of girls from the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion. And the book has not yet been decided. Shujie, who has only one wife, is also fascinated by a group of girls.

As soon as Qi Yuexin heard Qi Haoning say the words "Ministry of Justice", her face, which had just turned red, immediately turned white again. Does her second brother know everything?

Qi Haoning didn't care what her face was, but said coldly: "You have to be assertive, think about everything with your brain, don't blindly obey, that may not be able to help him, maybe it will hurt him." You go back, Ruan Wenxin probably doesn't need it now. I don't want to borrow a garden anymore. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qi Haoning turned around and entered the Zhiyuan Courtyard, leaving Qi Yuexin, who was still in a daze, and muttered alone: "Impossible, how is it possible?" Ruan Wenxin has been talking about this matter in her ear every day in recent days, how could she not want to borrow it? Could it be that he couldn't wait and opened his mouth to the second brother? What happened to the second brother to him?

The more Qi Yuexin thought about it, the more worried and scared she became, and immediately decided to hurry back.

Because when I came back today, in addition to looking for Qi Haoning, I also had to go to her original yard to get some things. In order to save time, Qi Yuexin asked the two personal maids to pick up things, and ran to Concubine Zhao to say goodbye.

Concubine Zhao is not in the flower hall of the director on weekdays. Not in the bedroom, Qi Yuexin felt strange. However, I had something in my heart, and I was not in the mood to think about it too much, so I decided to explain to Zhao's mother and go back first. At the moment when she was about to turn around, Qi Yuexin was suddenly stunned, she found that Su Ri was facing the door with a pair of jade dolls, why did she turn sideways today? It was so strange that she couldn't help but step forward.

Qi Yuexin especially likes this pair of jade warm and cute dolls, but unfortunately they are solid on the table and can't be taken away, so she didn't ask her mother for it, but she has to look at it reluctantly for a while every time. However, Concubine Zhao didn't let her touch it, saying that the doll was opened, it was her lucky thing, and she was blessed with a pair of children, so others were not allowed to touch it, and the doll was wiped by herself or Zhao's mother on weekdays.

Qi Yuexin tried to break the jade doll back into place, but found that a piece of wall next to it moved silently, and she almost screamed in fright.

When she came back to her senses, she calmed down, this is the mother's bedroom, and there is a dark room that is also the mother's, what is there to be afraid of? No wonder the mother didn't let people touch the pair of jade dolls, it turned out to be the mechanism that opened the door of the dark room.

It's just that she is curious, what is the mother hiding in the dark room?

When she entered the dark room, she found a button on the wall next to the door, and when she raised her hand, it was also a switch, and the door closed silently.

Qi Yuexin walked in proudly, and there were many ever-bright lamps lit in the dark room, as well as two candles.

There were a few boxes in the dark room, Qi Yuexin was about to step forward to see if she could open it, when she heard the voice of someone talking inside, it turned out that there was another room inside, and the door was closed at this time, this door was an ordinary wooden door.

Qi Yuexin didn't dare to move, she tiptoed closer with her hands covering her mouth and nose, and heard the voice clearly, it turned out to be her mother Concubine Zhao: "Are you really sure this time?" ”

It was Mrs. Wu who answered her: "Don't worry, princess, I have already told you about the power of this medicine, it is not an exaggeration at all, as long as you successfully calculate Qin Kexin into Ning Shizi's bed, as long as Qin Kexin is poisoned by this medicine, you can make Ning Shizi and Xia Shuyao poisoned." They won't die right away, but they'll never have children, and their bodies will decline more and more, until they die of exhaustion. Princess, you must not be anxious, in the capital, we can't risk doing anything to Ning Shizi. The last assassination has left our people in danger of being discovered at any time, and we have to be silent for a while. The emperor's people are staring too closely now. As for Prince Yan, don't worry about him coming back suddenly, as far as I know, our lord has already arranged someone by his side, and he will stay in the southwest completely. ”

Fortunately, Qi Yuexin covered her mouth and nose before, but at this time, she just covered it hard, and she almost held her breath. Who is Mrs. Wu? Who is her lord? No, the question is, how can the mother concubine collude with outsiders to murder the second brother and the father? It's okay for her to kill Xia Shuyao if she doesn't have children, but how can her father and second brother be? What exactly are they going to do?

Qi Yuexin was frightened, and tiptoed out even more, turned the jade doll, and closed the door of the dark room. Only then did I find that my hands and feet were soft, and my back was still wet and sticky.

Qi Yuexin was about to escape from the bedroom, only to find that Mother Zhao was already sitting in the outer room, sewing a small belly pocket with her head down, thinking that it was made for her newborn grandson.

Suddenly seeing Qi Yuexin come out, Zhao's mother was startled: "When did you come, auntie, and grandma, the old slave went to the thatched house." ”

Qi Yuexin patted her chest lightly: Ah, Mother Zhao, you scared me, I just came in to say goodbye to my mother, my mother is not here, I was trying to find you. ”

Mother Zhao nodded: "The princess went to find Mrs. Wu, right?" Maybe she went to the garden to see the flowers, but she wasn't in a good mood today. If the aunt and grandmother are in a hurry to go back, let the old slave tell you. ”

Qi Yuexin hurriedly said: "That's what I think, Mom, you tell your mother, I'm in a bit of a hurry to go back to Xianggong, so I won't wait for her, I'll come back another day." With that, he left in a hurry.

Mother Zhao waited for someone to go out, stood up and poked her head inside to look around, her eyes fell on the jade doll that turned sideways, and a smile appeared in her eyes. She can be regarded as having watched Qi Yuexin grow up, and the panic and pretended calmness in the girl's eyes did not escape her eyes. If she guessed correctly, the girl must have discovered the secret room, or even more, so let's see what she does.

As Qi Haoning expected, a few days later, Ruan Wenxin really submitted an application and invited himself to his hometown Minzhou to be responsible for the construction of embankment fortifications to prevent the river tide. It was this thankless task of building fortifications that no suitable person had ever taken over.

The dam fortification of the Minzhou generation has been done for nearly ten years, and it has been ineffective, and the people who go there are either not familiar with the environment and landform of Minzhou, or they go to cut corners and collect money. And this time, the emperor was very concerned about the affairs of Minzhou, in addition to sending the corresponding people to their respective places, he also made it clear that there would be a special envoy to pay an unannounced visit. In this case, who will take on the errand of building fortifications?

What made everyone's eyes almost fall off the ground was that Ruan Wenxin, who had been climbing relationships and eating soft rice all day long, was dizzy and took the initiative to apply for this drudgery.

When the emperor looked at the application fold and a detailed plan handed over by Ruan Wenxin, as well as the requirements for the support of the imperial court, his eyes narrowed: "This is the talent and ability that a list of eyes should have, I finally woke up early, and it is not wasted." ”

Dafuzi's father-in-law bowed down and said: "This is the emperor's sage who awakened Ruan Bangyan, and I believe that he can really benefit the people of Minzhou this time." ”

The emperor pointed at Dafuzi and scolded with a smile: "You old thing, you will be scared!" Where did I wake up? It's Junao who woke up. The kid looked cold, and he had an account in his heart. It is also Ruan Wen's new life, no matter what the original purpose was, but now he is the son-in-law of the imperial brother and the brother-in-law of Jun Ao after all. (To be continued......)
