Yang Lan believes in the eyes of her in-laws and parents, after all, they eat so much more than herself, they are more experienced than herself, but they still want to see what that boy is like, and they have something to ask him.

"Father-in-law, may I meet that boy? I'm afraid I want to ask him something. Yang Lan asked softly.

The father-in-law looked at Yang Lan, but she looked back at herself very persistently, and her heart suddenly softened, forget it, it's just a piece of my mother's heart, and it's not a big deal.

"Yes, I'll arrange it." I thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The Rong family is such a girl, and it is impossible to be too cautious. My father-in-law also felt that he wanted to see him.

After resting at home for a few days, Yang Lan began to prepare for the New Year, although the housekeeper director has been managed by her daughter-in-law, but she still needs to come forward for the New Year's entertainment, and her mother-in-law also needs her to take care of it.

Fortunately, Ziqing helped take care of her mother-in-law, coaxing her mother-in-law to smile all day long, this time she came back and found that her daughter had grown up, with a gentle and flexible personality, although she was gentle and indisputable, she had her own persistence, and she would not be afraid of things, she was calm, self-controlled, intelligent and brave, which made her very pleased, the children grew up and sensible, and when they all married their relatives, it was time for them to let go completely.

On the evening of that day, Yang Lan came to her mother-in-law's main hall, holding a slip in her hand, "Mother, you haven't slept yet, it just so happens that I have something to say." ”

Mrs. Rong nodded with a smile, "Okay, Ziqing stewed soup, do you want a bowl." ”

"No, I ate too much at night." Yang Lan smiled and shook her head.

Mrs. Rong was not reluctant, and drank the white fungus lotus seed soup herself.

Yang Lan took out her own list and handed it over, "This is the dowry list I prepared for Ziqing." My mother will help me see if there is anything missing. ”

Mrs. Rong put down the bowl, took the list, took reading glasses, and looked at it carefully. Then he nodded repeatedly. "Well, yes, very well prepared. Are you going to hand it over to her in advance? ”

"Well, that's what I mean, thinking that I can still guide her in front of her, and I will have to rely on myself when I get married in the future." Yang Lan believes that the ability to learn is her own, and it is better to rely on others than on herself.

Mrs. Rong knew Yang Lan's style and felt that she could consider it. just nodded, "It's okay, we don't plan to go out this time, we will stay at home to take care of our grandchildren, I'll help watch some of them, and there's nothing to worry about." ”

After all, the old man is old, they have been playing for several years, they have been everywhere they can go, and now they plan to take a break and do some more care.

"Well, after Brother An gets married, I still have to go to Guangdong with Yuanzhi. I'm more at home with you. Yang Lan immediately smiled with relief.

"Well, I'm here. You can go with confidence. Mrs. Rong smiled kindly.

Yang Lan knew that her mother-in-law would no longer go out, so she was relieved, there was an elder in the family, and many things could be stabilized at critical times, and the juniors also had a buffer time, so there would be no big mess.

This year is not good, not bad, into the palace to celebrate the New Year met Concubine De, Concubine De is more and more favored, even the prince has been sought after by many people, the court began to argue about the establishment of the prince, the emperor seems to think so.

Yang Lan just sneered in her heart, she couldn't take off the mask after wearing it for a long time, and the fake show became real in the end.

The queen's concubine was tested and suppressed like never before, and Concubine De even got the emperor's dictation, openly divided part of the palace power, and shared the courtroom with the queen.

Recently, someone in the court is proposing that Concubine Jin Feng De be the imperial concubine, and the emperor doesn't seem to agree, but looking at that attitude, he doesn't want to be unhappy, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before he agrees.

In the face of such a situation, many old families have begun to hibernate, do not speak at the beginning, do not speak easily, and act more and more rigorously and carefully.

After the New Year's Festival, Yang Lan began to prepare for Brother An's marriage, her daughter-in-law is very well-behaved and sensible, although she is not stunning, but she is also a fresh and elegant, beautiful girl with bright eyes and bright teeth.

Originally, he said that he didn't feel anything, but after getting married, he obviously showed a very happy and concerned look, and the husband and wife showed a trace of affection between their eyebrows.

After drinking the daughter-in-law's tea, I taught some precautions such as Brother An's preferences and bad temper, and also explained the family rules of our family not to have concubines, and also reminded the daughter-in-law not to use her own dowry maid to fix her pet, our family hates this practice and does not allow it.

You are willing to sacrifice your dowry maid, but I am not willing to sacrifice my son, my good son was taught by a few unscrupulous women in a few days, so who will I cry to.

Therefore, this reiterated in front of the whole family that Yang Lan had a very resolute attitude, her sons are all good children with ambitions and ideals, and they should do a good job while they are young, instead of indulging in women's piles all day long.

Therefore, the second daughter-in-law seemed very surprised and surprised, and became more and more filial to her, and the gift to the sister-in-law Ziqing was even more dense, Ziqing was also very good, and she had always respected the two sisters-in-law.

After living for almost two months, seeing that they had stabilized, it was time for Yang Lan to set off with Rong Yi, and before leaving, he was instructing them.

"We should leave in a few days, Brother Yu, I have discussed with your father, and there will be a chance to go out and practice later, but now the situation in the court is unclear, I thought about it for a long time, and decided to let you out." And Brother An will go to Yunnan next month to be the government office, and soon the order will come down, Concubine De is estimated to become the imperial concubine soon, you should also be more cautious in the local area, and try to avoid party disputes. Yang Lan wrinkled her brows and was a little worried.

It was not easy to let Brother Yu go out this time, and it was only after the father-in-law and the father worked hard together that it was done, the most important thing was that Concubine De's family kept blocking it, and it seemed that they didn't want Brother Yu to leave the capital.

And their strange behavior aroused the vigilance of the father-in-law, in the end, the Lu family is still much younger than the father-in-law, and they belong to the younger generation, and they are not old enough to be seen by the father-in-law, and now they want to let Brother Yu leave.

In his father-in-law's heart, Brother Yu is not only the eldest grandson, but also the hope of the Rong family's future, even greater than Rong Yi's expectations, no matter what, nothing can happen.

Because he couldn't find what they wanted, the father-in-law decided to find a more remote place for his grandson, and not to go to a rich place, although the remote place is poorer, but as long as the young people are not afraid of hardship and have ambitions, they will definitely be able to toss some political achievements.

Fortunately, now Concubine De is working hard for her imperial concubine, and the emperor doesn't seem to want too many opposition voices from the court, so he raised his hand and let go of the Rong family.

This is already a very good treatment, at the beginning with the emperor had a few families from the dragon, now in addition to the Rong family, the other few families are not too good, the Yang family is also considered to be liquidated, fortunately, the father can see the situation clearly, and handed over the military power early without saying a word, and he does not go out in Fujian, which can be regarded as preserving the family.

The Rong family is in the end because of some relatives, and the queen mother has not died, so she has liquidated her mother's family, which is too ugly, so it is in today's situation, and it is a pity that several other families have been cleaned up because of some crimes, and some things are not cautious but not to the point of raiding the house.

But in any case, that's what the emperor did, the crime is conclusive, and there is no way to refute it if you want to, but everyone knows what is going on inside.

Yang Lan was also a little disheartened, followed Rong Yi to leave the capital by boat, and went to Guangdong to continue the last three years of his term, Rong Yi has already selected a few suitable candidates in his heart, and when he goes down, he will elect the right person to take over him, so that the six years of hard work can be saved, and it will not change the official and make it unrecognizable.

Fortunately, the emperor still needs a hard-working and capable official like Rong Yi, so some things can still be listened to.

Now that the emperor is in power, he is becoming more and more rigid and self-serving, and he almost can't listen to other people's opinions, and he thinks about expanding his territory all day long, how to establish a great cause of unification, hoping to see a unified country in his lifetime, and eliminate all the ills.

In addition to the new-school magnates like the Lu family, some old and stable families have chosen to fall silent, and the court is easy not to speak.

No matter how strange the situation is, Yang Lan still returned to Guangdong, and could have a moment of quiet, but fortunately, it is not as tense as the capital here, and the environment is still very open and free, which finally makes people feel able to take a breath.

It's a pity that the boy who was valued by his father and mother couldn't come back from a mission in Fujian for the New Year, so Yang Lan's desire to see him didn't come to fruition, so he could only find another opportunity, but Yang Lan said that he must meet someone, otherwise he was not allowed to ask for a holy decree to marry Ziqing, which she insisted on.

Rong Yi went back to the yamen to do errands, and brought some gadgets and specialties from the capital to his colleagues in the yamen, which was a little heart.

Probably due to the influence of the situation in the capital, Rong Yi quietly made more and more money, and secretly engaged in a lot of business, some of which were not given money but directly transported some timber and materials back to Fujian.

Nowadays, only Fujian is a relatively safe place, and they can also regularly hide some of the materials they have made, and prepare to send them to the ship when they have already gone to sea.

Xiao Wu has been officially appointed as a general of Fujian to go to sea, I heard that there have been several battles in the northwest, there are losses and wins, but he has always performed very well, and his courage and resourcefulness have been appreciated by his father's old subordinates.

Xiao Wu found a vein in the northwest, which was a jade mine. After this matter was reported, the emperor didn't pay much attention to it, so he handed over the matter to his father's subordinates to handle mining and other matters. The old general took great pains to send a flawless white jade Guanyin to the Queen Mother, which was highly praised by the Queen Mother, so the jade mine was firmly in their hands.

Xiao Wu performed very well this time, saying that he didn't want some of the veins, and just drank some soup, and wanted to exchange for something else, that is, some materials needed overseas.

The old general was very satisfied with Xiao Wu's acquaintance and understanding, and spared no effort to recommend him to be promoted, and got him a lot of good things, all of which were some materials needed overseas, which was much more affordable than buying with money, and Xiao Wu quietly sent him back to Fujian by boat.
