Qu Miaoling suddenly smiled, "Father's request, the daughter must do her best, but the daughter thinks that those tenant farmers have united to resist, they must have great resentment against our Hou Mansion, if they are not easy to appease them, this kind of riot will definitely happen." ”

"Then Yi Miaoling only saw—"

"My daughter thinks we should reduce the tenant farmers' rent."

Wen Shi suddenly became anxious, "Miao Ling, this is not good, our Hou Mansion is already stretched thin now, you took away a lot of dowry from the Lord of Huiling, and now the Hou Mansion has no money, so you are counting on these rents to make a living!" ”

"Mother, I don't know, is our Hou Mansion already so down? In addition to my mother's dowry, what about the shops and fields that the Hou Mansion has operated for many years, have they also been embezzled by which subordinate? ”

Wen didn't dare to speak, she was afraid that Qu Miaoling would shake out the matter of using the money of the Hou Mansion to help her mother's family.

Wen was stunned, Qu Miaoling continued: "Father, mother misunderstood her daughter's meaning, I mean, temporarily reduce the tenant farmers' rent, give them space to recuperate, and wait until they are full of food and warm clothes, and then come to pay us rent, this time, they will think of our good, they will not go out and talk nonsense, second, the riot will not happen again in the future, and the reputation of our Hou Mansion can be greatly improved, what do you think?" ”

Wu Dehou decided, "Just listen to Miao Ling." Money manager, what do you think? ”

Money stewards are overjoyed, and this is already the best result.

He glanced at Qu Miaoling again, and the two exchanged glances that only each other could understand, and then Qian Steward said: "Hou Ye is famous, Miss is famous." ”

Wu Dehou was overjoyed.

Such a tricky matter was solved with such an understatement.

Qu Miaoling is really the lucky star of himself and the Hou Mansion!

He turned his head sideways and said to Qu Miaoling: "Miaoling, the matter of Zhuangzi is solved, but what about the deficit of the Hou Mansion?" The dignified Marquis Mansion was deceived by his subordinates, and it was not only me who said it, but there was no place to put the old lady's face! ”

Wu Dehou knew that his status in Qu Miaoling's heart was nothing, and he deliberately brought out the old lady, also wanting Qu Miaoling to take over this thankless job.

"Father, what do you mean?"

Wu Dehou didn't feel embarrassed at all, "The Hou Mansion is also your home, and there is a shortage of money at home, do you see if you are trying to find a way to get some from elsewhere, at least plug this hole?" ”

Qu Miaoling looked at Wu Dehou, and looked away from the other party's staring heart, and then she said: "Father, of course I can help with this favor, who made me also a part of the Hou Mansion!" ”

"Miao Ling is righteous, my father is ashamed!"

Wu Dehou was overjoyed and praised Qu Miaoling wildly.

"What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and get me back to investigate! Such a large sum of silver, if there is no Miao Ling, I will have to let you sell the dowry to make up for it! ”

Wen left the study with a disgraced face, and then Qu Miaoling and Steward Qian also left.

Wu Dehou lay on the rocking chair and drank leisurely.

Regardless of whether the money was embezzled by the Wen family, now that someone has made up for it, he doesn't bother to pursue it.

After all, a one-day husband and wife are not.

Wu Dehou pursed his mouth and fell asleep.

After leaving the study, Wen's office returned to He'an Park in a rage.

Looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, she sprinkled all the anger in her stomach on them, snatched the knife from the hand of the sweeping maid, and stabbed at the flowers.

Tired and sweaty, she felt a little more comfortable.

The maids were so angry that they didn't dare to come out, and when they saw her come back in the past, their son, who would definitely greet her, was gone.

Wen's mood was even worse.

Thinking of Qu Miaoling just now, she was clearly interceding for herself, but behind her back, she was giving herself eye medicine.

She was even more angry.

This bastard!

Qu Miaoling is more hateful than Jiang Jingjing!

It's all sluts!

Slut!

Wen went crazy with hatred.

"Miss, there are so many shortfalls in the Hou Mansion, how can we fill it!" Although she didn't hear the conversation in the study, Qu Miaoling's chat vividly showed Wu Dehou's Tao Lan and Wen's stinky shamelessness.

"Of course, I promised my father."

Qu Miaoling smiled mysteriously, and then returned to the courtyard.

Wen sat in the courtyard, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, the more she felt that she couldn't sit still, this Qu Miaoling's methods were more and more powerful every time, if she got married, I was afraid that she would become a bone scum.

No, she had to act.

"Taolei, you go, send a message to the Prime Minister's Mansion, just say that I am in a hurry to meet him, and let him hurry up and find a way."

As soon as Tao Lei asked the messenger to leave, Qu Miaoling received the news.

"Gently, you have people follow him and see where they are going!"

"Yes."

The stall that followed the past came back and reported: "Miss, that person went to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"Hehe, go to Wen Hongzhi again for help?"

"But Miss, far water can't quench her thirst, how can Wen Hongzhi help her!" Softly wondered.

"It depends on the means of the minister!"

A dark glint flashed in Qu Miaoling's eyes.

"However, now that Wen Xiang is afraid that he is too busy to take care of himself, where will he have time to take care of Wen's?"

As Qu Miaoling guessed, Wen Hongzhi has indeed been taking care of himself recently.

He has just taken office, and while making people blush, he also has to face a lot of stumbling blocks. In the past, he was easy to solve, but this time it was not so easy.

There was a bandit in the south, those bandits endangered the people, and the people were not happy, and the emperor listened to the words of others and even asked him to suppress the bandits.

Wen Hongzhi was born as a civil official, where did he have such ability, he desperately refused, but the emperor was determined to let him go.

Wen Hongzhi was sweating in a hurry, and he went around looking for someone to intercede.

However, who dares to touch the emperor's brow at this time, the emperor will hand over the heavy responsibility to Wen Hongzhi, that is to trust him.

ran away again, and Wen Hongzhi returned home angrily.

This time, he went to visit the old lady of the Three Dynasties and taught two emperors, but this old lady was very faceless and directly gave him a closed door.

Wen Hongzhi, who had been waiting for a fool all morning, was angry, but he couldn't show it, and he almost suffocated his internal injuries.

When he returned to the mansion, he hadn't even drunk a sip of tea when he heard a message from someone sent by Wen Rou to him.

Seeing Wen Rou's heart, Wen Hongzhi's face turned black.

"Waste, waste!"

Wen Hongzhi shouted repeatedly.

Thinking about his Wen Hongzhi's dominance in officialdom, how can he have such a stupid sister.

Net will hold him back!

"You go back and tell Wen Rou, just say I'll help her keep an eye on it!"

As soon as Wen Hongzhi's words fell, Mrs. Wen said, "What's the matter, my heart is not going well?" ”

Wen Hongzhi showed Wen Rou's letter to the old lady.

After reading it, the old lady paused, and couldn't help but think of her tragic granddaughter again, she clenched her fists, and her voice was cold and said to the messenger: "You let Rou'er rest assured, her mother will help her." ”

The messenger is gone.

Old Madam Wen sat down, "Xiangye, but what's the trouble?" ”

Wen Xiang didn't dare to tell anyone about the major events in the court, but he just said that he was busy with political affairs, and he was afraid that he didn't have time for his sister Zhang Luo.

Old Mrs. Wen naturally took it over: "Don't worry, Xiangye, this is a trivial matter, and the old man can do it alone." ”

After Mrs. Wen finished speaking, she didn't delay, and immediately started to prepare.

Qu Miaoling was lying on a rocking chair, holding a cold teacup in her hand, and inside was a sour plum soup with a sweet and sour smell.

Enjoy the flowers, take another sip, and feel comfortable.

Enjoying a rare afternoon, he reported softly: "Miss, the old lady is here." ”

Qu Miaoling hurriedly stood up, how could the old lady suddenly come here!

As soon as the soft voice fell, Mama Qiao helped the old lady in.

"Grandmother, come in and sit, it's hot outside." It's late summer, but the sun is still scorching at noon.

She helped the old lady in, and as soon as the two sat down, the old lady's face showed embarrassment.

"Miao Ling, grandmother came here this time because she wanted to ask you for help."

Qu Miaoling was shocked, but still said: "I want to hear about it." ”

The old lady is different from the Wen family, her father is An Ningbo, who is a true child, and has been an effective subordinate of the emperor since her grandfather's generation.

But the good times didn't last long, and they were all lonely like Wude Houfu.

An Ningbo's son, that is, An Rutang, the nephew of the old lady, is a five-grade official in the Ministry of Rites, and is in charge of filling in the documents.

It's not up or down, but it's a good life.

But just three days ago, An Rutang went to the Shangshu house of the Ministry of Rites to attend his son's three baptismal banquets, and somehow, he squeezed the emperor's own brother, Situ Huaifang's concubine, Situ Huaixiang, into the pool.

Although people were rescued, Situ Huai thought that although he was only a concubine of the palace, he was a man in the end, from childhood to adulthood, he had the name of the royal family, and he had not suffered a little hardship and suffering.

And An Rutang was strong and unwilling to give in, so he was thrown into prison by the angry prince.

The old lady's maiden family begged her for help.

But her husband has been dead for many years, and the people she knew in her early years are also unfamiliar, even if she begs Situ Huaifang with a thick old face, people may not necessarily give her face.

There was no way, she could only come to Qu Miaoling.

After listening to the beginning and the end, Qu Miaoling understood.

"You want me to make peace out of this?"

The old lady nodded, "Rutang is a good boy, he must not mean it, Miao Ling, you help grandmother think of a way, see if you can release Rutang first, you need silver, I have it here." ”

"What my grandmother said, speaking of which, An Rutang is still my cousin, don't worry, I will find a way."

"Miao Ling, I heard that Prince Situ Huaifang has a good relationship with the Min family, do you think the Marquis of Jingkang Mansion can help deliver a message?"

"Jingkang Hou Mansion?"

Only then did Qu Miaoling understand that the old lady had come prepared.

But also, without perfect preparation, the old lady will not speak easily.

"Old lady, when I understand the whole story of this matter clearly, if it really has nothing to do with my cousin, I will definitely not let him be wronged."

"Then thank you Miao Ling."

Qu Miaoling smiled.
