"Master Hou, is Master Hou at home?"

Outside the gate of Jia Qiang's small courtyard, Mama Wu pretended not to see anything, and called twice.

In the courtyard, Qingwen flipped off Jia Qiang's body, and "pia" fell to the ground with her buttocks down, frowning in pain and pouting.

Jia Qiang was startled, and hurriedly said: "Where did you fall, come and rub it for you!" ”

"Phew!"

After Qingwen spit, she blushed shyly, got up and covered the neckline of her shirt and ran inside.

Most of the buckles have been untied, which is really excessive!

Jia Qiang looked at her delicate back, smiled, and then said outside: "Come in." ”

Mama Wu pushed the door in, and said in a regular manner: "Master Hou, the word came in from the front, saying that a guest sent a prayer post, let it be sent here as soon as possible." ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, she looked at Mama Wu's hand, and sure enough, she saw that she had a prayer note in her hand, he nodded, and Mama Wu presented the prayer post.

Jia Qiang took it, opened it and looked at it, her brows furrowed.

But then it unfolded again......

It turned out that Ding Hao, the leader of the Cao Gang, was going to visit tonight, but it was also expected.

He nodded and said to Mama Wu, "Go and talk back, just say I know." ”

After Mama Wu heard this, she left.

Jia Qiang sat alone on the rattan chair, thinking about the Cao Gang.

Cao Gang, you can't help it.

It's not that I'm worried that they will rebel, the Cao Gang is not monolithic, and the first generation of the Cao Gang leader is not surnamed Ding, it was obtained through a civil strife, which also buried hidden dangers.

In addition, the two "righteous paths" under the gang leader have considerable power of self-determination, and can even check and balance the gang leader.

The people from all walks of life below also have a lot of self-determination, relatively speaking, the Cao Gang has a very tight organizational structure, but after all, it is just a gang.

If such a group wants to rebel, it naturally has no chance of success.

But it doesn't mean that they are harmless, and if they are allowed to expand arbitrarily, it will be difficult to subvert the society, but it is easy to poison the country.

But with only one soldier and horse commander, how could he be able to balance the Cao Gang?

Although he still has a marquis's nobleman, behind the Cao Gang, I am afraid that at least three royal mansions can be involved.

What is a marquis worth?

The only thing that can be done is Jia Qiang's husband, who is about to enter the military aircraft as a prime minister and become the prime minister in charge of the world's financial resources.

And the household department is a big yamen that can decide the life and death of the Cao Gang!

But that's not enough......

Because the household department can indeed decide the life and death of the Cao Gang, but can the household department easily veto the Cao Gang?

No!

Caoyun is really important, and if something goes wrong, something big will happen.

Especially now that the emperor is newly mourned, the court is already in chaos, and if there is chaos in the local area, it will really be chaos.

Emperor Long An would never allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, an old Jianghu like Ding Hao will never bow his head easily, and is willing to share a part of his lifeline and let others control it.

So, where do you start?

Just as Jia Qiang was thinking hard about a good plan, she saw the courtyard door being opened again.

Xiangling, who was full of innocence and laughter, jumped in, and when she saw Jia Qiang at home, she was full of surprise and shouted: "Master! ”

Jia Qiang was infected by her smile, and forgot about those for the time being, and asked with a smile, "Where did this come from?" ”

Xiangling said with a smile: "Coming back from Xifu, the second girl here somehow wanted to listen to the music, so I called Ling Guan over." Ling Guan sang very well, and the two girls were in tears. ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, she pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "What song are you singing?" Just the one you just hummed? ”

When Xiangling heard this, she was busy studying with Jia Qiang, and even her expression was like the misery of Ling Guan......

"Sigh the declining grass, the sound of the weft is earnest. Once the beloved is gone, he will not return ......"

"Sitting on the sideburns like snow tonight......"

Jia Qiang's expression was a little subtle, it was really that sorrow that made her heart, and this sorrow frowned again.

Qingwen heard the movement and walked out, she had already changed her clothes, and said to Xiangling: "I'm not ashamed, I'm still singing!" ”

The drama of singing music is not a good reputation.

Xiangling was not annoyed, looked at Qingwen with a smile and said, "Qingwen, guess how many words you don't know in these two sentences?" ”

"Poof!"

Jia Qiang was eating tea, and when she heard this, she didn't swallow a mouthful of tea and squirted it out.

Here Qingwen has already started to get started, but of course she was suppressed again, and she kept shouting: "I won't spare you today!" ”

Xiangling begged for mercy seriously: "Good sister, I'm laughing, don't you get annoyed, can you spare me this time?" ”

Qingwen refused, was caught with her backhand, bent over and shouted: "Don't think about it, I won't spare you again!" ”

Jia Qiang felt that if there were no bad things outside, he would not feel bored if he stayed at home for a hundred years.

Of course, he is a master, and he can't stand indifferent to the strife, so he stepped forward to pull the shelf.

After letting Xiangling let go of her hand, Fu Qingwen stood up.

Qingwen was like a little white rabbit, jumping away, the water in her peach blossom eyes was about to condense, and she held her arms and glared at Jia Qiang.

Although he didn't say it, his eyes were asking: Where is the hand going!!

Jia Qiang was really wronged this time, and arched her hand: "Wronged, your hand slipped......"

"Phew!"

Qingwen spat hatefully, looking at the appearance, fortunately Jia Qiang is the master today, otherwise she would have beaten him together.

Jia Qiang laughed half to death in her stomach, she always felt that these girls were really precious, but after all, she still had something to do, and told the two: "Be stubborn at home, don't fight." ”

I don't think he hasn't left yet, Xiangling remembered something: "Oh yes, yes, I almost forgot, I just met Sister Mandarin Duck, she said that if the master comes back, she will go to Rongqing Hall, the old lady is looking for you in a hurry." ”

Jia Qiang: "......"

……

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Jia's mother was full of exhaustion, and when she reached her age, Chouzheng (two o'clock in the morning) got up and tossed until the afternoon, which was really not a brisk job.

Toss it two more times, you have to die.

After freshening up, I went to the big makeup, especially the few pounds on my head......

After using ginseng tea again, Jia Mu finally felt a little more alive.

However, her face was not very good, and she asked the mandarin duck: "Why hasn't Brother Qiang come yet?" ”

Mandarin duck said: "I met Xiangling half an hour ago, and when I saw that she was going home, I told her." ”

Mother Jia said angrily: "Lin Zhixiao's family said that Brother Qiang came back an hour ago. ”

Li Kun smiled and said, "Why don't you send someone to urge you again?" ”

Mother Jia nodded, and said to Aunt Xue on the side: "Mandarin ducks have always been reliable, but this time they are a little worse." Which one is not good for you to entrust, instruct Xiangling's little hooves. That girl has always been coquettish, but after following Brother Qiang, she was spoiled to heaven and became more and more greedy. This son, I can't tell which corner he ran to again, and went crazy with the little girl. ”

Aunt Xue's face was a little complicated, and she said, "When I was at my house, I suffered a lot of grievances. ”

Mother Jia hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Mrs. Aunt's words are wrong, how can a serious person have such a habitual person in the room?" That is, there is no serious housekeeper in Dongfu at the moment. ”

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "With Brother Qiang's temperament, he has a housekeeper, and I'm afraid I am reluctant to wronged those girls." Moreover, Miss Lin is also casual and doesn't care about these. ”

Jia Mu smiled when she heard this, and didn't say anything more.

It's really hard to say whether this matter is good or bad......

She paused, and suddenly asked with a smile: "When I entered the palace today, I had to hear that Concubine Li had martyred the Emperor, which really scared me, and that was the most favored princess of the Emperor in the past few years." I vaguely heard people mention that there was another person back then, who was more outstanding and favored than Concubine Li, and I heard that his surname was Qin...... I can't remember those things in a trance back then, my aunt's family has always been close to the palace, can you remember? ”

When Aunt Xue heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then she seemed to think of something, changed her face and smiled: "Good and dignified, how can you mention her?" ”

Jia Mu smiled: "It's just that when it comes to it, is there really such a person?" ”

Aunt Xue hesitated, and glanced at the many mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law, and maids standing in Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia gave the mandarin duck a look, and the mandarin duck stepped forward and waved her hand, and many people went down.

After there were only three people left in the room, Jia Mu, Li Kun and Mandarin Duck, who couldn't say much, Aunt Xue sighed and said, "If the old lady doesn't say it, I'm about to forget." Back then, there was a very favored imperial concubine surnamed Qin, who was canonized as a good concubine. Ouch, how beautiful it is, I haven't seen it, I only know that the honor is definitely the best in the six palaces. Every year, our Xue family specially buys silk and all kinds of southern goods for it, and I don't know how much silver it costs. Afterward...... It was about the fourteenth year of the beginning of the Jing Dynasty, and it was suddenly gone, and Bao Yatou and her Lao Tzu also sent someone into Beijing to inquire about the reason, but after receiving the letter, she didn't say anything more.

Originally, I couldn't know about it, but Pan'er was naughty, and pulled the letter out of nowhere, I was afraid that he would be punished and beaten by the master, so I quickly put it away, and before putting it away, I glanced at it more. Just looking at that one, I almost didn't scare my soul away......"

Hearing what she said so terrifyingly, Jia Mu, Li Kun and Mandarin Duck all became nervous, and hurriedly asked, "But what happened to you?" ”

Aunt Xue lowered her voice and said: "I heard that the very favored concubine did not abide by the way of women, and had fornication with others, saying that she wanted to enter the Taoist temple in the palace to pray for the blessing of the emperor, but even the child was born." After the defeat, Concubine Liang was unwilling to tell the man's name and committed suicide. For this matter, the palace was washed in blood three times, and I don't know how many people died! ”

Li Kun couldn't figure it out and said, "How could it be born from fornication with someone?" Maybe it's the flesh and blood of the Emperor. ”

Aunt Xue shook her head again and again, and whispered: "That year, the emperor's body and bones have begun to deteriorate, and he is cultivating after listening to the words of the imperial doctor, if not, why did Concubine Liang go to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings?" That year, the Emperor Taishang never touched Concubine Liang at all! ”

The mandarin duck was also puzzled, and asked: "But apart from the emperor, there is no foreign man in the inner palace......

Aunt Xue's voice was a little quieter, and she said, "In the fourteenth year of Jingchu, Prince Lao Yizhong was deposed as the crown prince. ”

The three of them were terrified when they heard it, and at this moment, suddenly there was a big girl's voice announcing the door outside:

"Master Hou is here!"

This is cold, a group of people almost didn't bluff their souls!

Mother Jia's forehead was full of white hair and sweat, and she gritted her teeth at the mandarin duck and said, "Which one is calling outside?" Go back and pick up well, so loud, do you want to go crazy? ”

In fact, it's not to blame that the noise outside is too loud, but it's actually that the Rongqing Hall is silent, and the sound is too small, so it seems that people are making loud announcements.

But at this moment, the mandarin duck's heart was about to jump out, and he wouldn't say anything.

Aunt Xue regretted saying these things a little, and hurriedly advised: "Old lady, this matter must not be spread outside, otherwise the palace is afraid that it will be troublesome." ”

Jia Mu hurriedly responded: "I know. ”

Aunt Xue got up and said, "In that case, I'll go back first, and the old lady should rest earlier." ”

Mother Jia had something in her heart, so she didn't stay long, so she let Aunt Xue leave.

Jia Qiang entered the door, and when he saw Aunt Xue leaving with a reluctant smile, he wondered in his heart, and after greeting, he saw Aunt Xue go out, walked into the hall, and said, "What is this doing?" A room full of servants were sent out like thieves......"

Jia Mu was half angry and said, "You are like a thief!" Thinking of something again, he asked in a deep voice: "Brother Qiang, you answer me honestly, how can I vaguely hear that the Queen Mother was having trouble with the emperor today, and many people have not persuaded her, even the prime minister of the military aircraft wrote a book, and the Queen Mother ignored it, and the princes of the clan came forward, but it was not good, and in the end, it was Baba who recruited you into the palace, and the Queen Mother showed up this morning." How did you persuade the Queen Mother? ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "Who is chewing her tongue in front of the old lady?" That's the Queen Mother, the emperor's mother, how else can I persuade? It's nothing more than a good life persuasion! ”

Jia Mu is not a fool, where can she believe it, and said: "The prince and the prime minister can't be persuaded by others, but if you are high, you can persuade you?" ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "The mouth grows on someone else, what do you care about what the old lady says?" ”

Jia Mu said angrily: "I'm afraid that you will get carried away and be so arrogant that you don't know whether you live or die!" That kind of palace secrets, you can't hide it, and you dare to get involved? You still understand, you know that people are the emperor's mothers. There is no overnight feud between husband and wife, let alone the two of them? You are really confused, what disrespectful things have you done, and the Ming'er family has reconciled, the first thing is to cut you! ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, she was silent for a while, and said: "Don't worry, old lady, I'm not a fool, how dare I really be disrespectful to the Queen Mother?" is to remind her euphemistically, if she is too partial to her younger son, won't it make the emperor and the king of Yiping County discord? Moreover, she can't protect the king of Yiping for 10,000 years? ”

“……”

Mother Jia was speechless when she heard this, and she always felt that this grandson was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, insinuating insinuations.

Seeing that the mandarin duck quietly made eye contact with him, Jia Qiang pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "The old lady doesn't have to think about it, the situation of the Rong Mansion and the Heavenly Family is different. If the big man is really decent, you don't need to be so old that he can't roll the waves. This Rongguo Mansion really lets the eldest master call the shots, and the Jia family is afraid that they will be questioned by the house long ago. ”

Jia Mu's face looked better, and she asked, "Do you really think so?" ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "It's not just me who thinks so, if the old grandfather hadn't seen this a long time ago, he wouldn't have made that fold on his deathbed and left such an arrangement." ”

When Mother Jia heard this, her face completely recovered, and she said: "It's good that your Jia family can understand my heart, where is my partial little son, these are the meanings of the old prince!" After sighing for a while, he remembered the business again, looked at Jia Qiang and asked, "You really have no disrespect?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "It's not Jiuhua Palace that I entered alone, Kehe County King is also there, that's his own grandmother, will he watch me bully an old lady?" Besides, what position am I in that position, dare to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother? ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she finally reluctantly put her mind at ease and said, "It's good that you can understand this." When I heard that today, I almost fainted. Now the death of the Jia family, the waste of the waste, and the illness of the disease, all refer to you to support it. If you are confused for a while and do errands, then the Jia family really doesn't know how to support it. ”

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "The old lady can rest assured, when I am done with this paragraph, I will take a good rest at home and avoid the limelight." ”

Jia Mu nodded again and again: "It should be like this!" It's not good to always be in the limelight, and it has always been a wood show that will be destroyed by the forest wind. You have to learn to hide ......."

Jia Qiang nodded again and again, and said, "I see that the old lady is also tired, so it's better to rest early." I'll go first. ”

Jia Mu said angrily: "I see that you are worried that I am tired is false, and impatience is true." If you want to go, I'll stop you? However, don't ask me about the imperial concubine surnamed Qin in the palace, and she won't tell you if you ask my aunt's wife......"

Seeing that Jia's mother was angry, Li Kun and Mandarin Duck both laughed.

Jia Qiang's eyes brightened, and she took two steps forward and said, "Old lady, has this matter been clarified?" ”

Seeing that Jia's mother was still angry, he hurriedly made a trump card and said: "Old lady, I have found a good way out for Baoyu, even if he doesn't want to be an official or get rich, he can eat with his own ability, and he will have no worries about food and clothing all his life, and he can't even become a famous family." The most rare thing is that he still loves to do this! ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she was moved and said hurriedly: "What is the best way?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said nothing, Jia Motherly wanted to grab the Buddha's hand on the side and throw it in his face, and then, she still said what Aunt Xue said, and finally advised: "I don't care why you ask about this, I advise you not to do much." The events of that year were kept secret even by Grandpa Guo. Prince Yizhong back then was a person who even the grandfather of the country admired one or two and thought that he would become a king. If this scandal spreads, and the heavenly family investigates it, you won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

Jia Qiang was shocked in his heart, although there were many speculations, but he didn't expect it to be like this, he didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "I only occasionally have to smell some wild history secrets, what can I think of as true." After today, I will forget about it. The parties involved back then are all dead, who cares about this ......" After that, seeing Jia's mother staring at him, he told Baoyu about becoming a female frequency writer, and said: "Old lady, don't underestimate this, I have also done this, and I am still writing." That "The Legend of the White Snake" was written by me and Sister Lin together, and now it is popular all over the Jiangnan, and I have earned thousands of taels of silver, and I can continue to earn it in the future. Baoyu doesn't want to study, go to school, become an official, and don't want to pay attention to economic affairs, just want to stay at home, what is cheaper than doing this business? ”

Jia Mu hesitated: "But, Baoyu is where he ...... Laozi"

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry for a while, when the second master finds out that his stupid son really can't do other big things, he will find that being able to do such a thing is actually a very good thing." And in the future, Baoyu may be more famous than the second master, maybe it's not enough. ”

After finally appeasing Jia's mother, Jia Qiang went out again and hurriedly went to the Lin Mansion.

He wants to ask if there are any unpredictable consequences in Keqing's matter.

And, the matter of the Cao Gang.

PS: Although it's only two chapters recently, it's all big chapters, and all three chapters are redundant, and my conscience is full of wind and cold!
