Chapter 111: Miaoyu Invited

After the court meeting, Emperor Yuan Yong will co-organize the university scholar Guo Si, the secretary of the ministry Li Qian, the household secretary Feng Yanji, the Ministry of Rites Xu Chengjing, the military department secretary Fu Chuan, the criminal department secretary Wang Zhushan, the Ministry of Industry secretary Jiang An, the inspectorate of the left and right imperial Shi Liang Rui, Zeng Xiao, Wenhua Pavilion University scholar Gu Yu, cabinet scholar Xu Jingnian several people summoned to the Wenhua Palace.

"This is yesterday's Tang Bao, you all see, half a month ago Shandong suffered another disaster, it rained every day, the muddy river water soared, broke the embankment, and flooded more than 1,300 hectares of people's land!" Emperor Yuan Yong's face was deep and he said slowly.

After Guo Si, Li Qian and the others looked at it, Emperor Yuan Yong continued: "Feng Qing, the disaster relief, your household department must arrange it as soon as possible. ”

Feng Yanji said with a solemn expression: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

"You have all read the Tang newspaper a few days ago, the Khakon Khanate is about to move, the northwest must prepare for war, and constantly make people ask for silver, and now the treasury is empty, and the affairs in the southeast must be carried out as soon as possible, Ruoqian, after Su Yuzhi arrives in Beijing, let him come to see me immediately!" Emperor Yuanyong's face became deeper and darker.

He knew the things in the northwest, it was the people of the king of Xining County who were stumbling on him behind his back, and now was not the time to move them.

However, the southeast is related to finances, and he does not have enough control over the southeast, so if he wants to implement the new policy, he needs to justifiably pull out the two major representatives of the southeast forces in the DPRK and China, and then slow down the local plan.

Li Qian heard Emperor Yuanyong mention Su Youzhi, his face was a little not good, I am afraid that after Su Youzhi arrived in Beijing, it would be another twist and turn.

Su Youzhi, Yankang 20 years of Xin's late science and technology exploration flower, is Cui Bo's disciple, once followed Cui Bo to compile the "Qianxing Record", because of Cui Bo's inscription, on the Yankang Emperor, was belittled, these years have been in Guizhou, Yuan Yong was transferred to the capital for three years as a cabinet attendant, last year was sent to Fujian to supervise the salt corruption case.

Xu Chengjing and Fu Chuan glanced at each other, and said: "Qi Shengshang, the minister heard that Su Youzhi has been writing all these years, asking for Cui Xilie to erect a tablet and engrave a biography, and now Cui Xilie's matter has caused controversy, and it has not been decided at this time, I am afraid that Su Youzhi will be dissatisfied with this matter, and if it makes trouble, it will delay the new policy, so it is better to choose another merit and go to Zhejiang to take charge of this matter." ”

He now needs to focus the eyes of Su Yuzhi and the court on Beijing, and wait until the layout of Zhejiang is completed, and then it is time to see the real chapter.

Li Qian muttered: "If you don't solve the matter of Cui Xilie, with Su Youzhi's temper, I'm afraid you won't take office." ”

Guo Si and Xu Jingnian also made suggestions to Emperor Yuan Yong, expressing the same concern.

Emperor Yuan Yong pondered for a moment and said: "Since this is the case, then completely resolve these disputes, this matter has been delayed from the twenty-fifth year of Yankang to the present, and it has been twenty years. ”

"Over the years, your cabinet has drafted a decree to discuss this matter at the court meeting in three days!"

It was nearly evening, the remnant sun was like blood, and the sunset was like fire.

Lu Jing just finished discussing with Lin Ruhai what happened in the court today.

Lu Zhiyu told him the unexpected news that Miaoyu invited her and Daiyu to meet at the Muni Courtyard outside the West Gate tomorrow.

Lu Jing almost forgot that Miaoyu was also in Beijing, and then opened the news of Lu Zheng's report, and saw that the Jia family wanted to invite Miaoyu into the house.

On June 20, Lin Zhixiao recommended Miaoyu to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang posted a post inviting Miaoyu to enter Jia's house, teach little nuns and little Taoist aunts to chant and pray for blessings, and presided over the Yuanchun Provincial Qinbei Hospital's Lucui Nunnery.

Now Miaoyu is still hesitating, and she didn't agree.

Lu Jing immediately called Lu Zheng and asked about the matter in detail.

After Lu Zheng explained the matter in detail, he continued: "The little one has discovered a strange thing, Lin Zhixiao seems to have had contact with the people of the Zhongshun Palace!" ”

"You can tell me about this in detail!"

Lu Jing immediately became interested, he had been wondering why the King of Zhongshun would be clear about the affairs of the Jia family, if he said that Wang Xifeng received money from people, bad people married, put money in the seal privately, Jia Yu plotted to rob the stone nerd antique fan and other things, it is not surprising that he understands it clearly.

But Jia Zhen, Jia Rong's father and son, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, cheating and scolding and other indecent behaviors, as well as Jia Lian's sneaking in marrying Second Sister You, and collaborating with Jia Zhen to force Zhang Hua to withdraw from the marriage and other small things, are all clearly grasped, which is strange.

Lin Zhixiao, as one of the four housekeepers of the Jia family, is in charge of the Jia family's treasury and accounts, and is very popular with Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others.

Lin Zhixiao's daughter-in-law is in charge of the maids and mothers-in-law in Jiafu's inner house, vigil patrols and other things, and she has a very good face in front of Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang.

These two people have a very high status in Jiafu, but they are extremely low-key, and they are nicknamed deaf and dumb by the Jia family, and their daughter Lin Hongyu is just arranged in Jia Baoyu's room as a rough third-class girl.

"Specifically, the small one is not sure for sure, but last winter, the uncle asked him to pay more attention to the affairs of the Zhongshun Palace, and the small one found out a few properties of the Zhongshun Palace, Lin Zhixiao would go to one of the shops almost every month, if it wasn't for the uncle asking about this person today, the little one wouldn't have remembered it." Lu Zheng said.

"You continue to send people to pay attention to Lin Zhixiao, just figure out his identity, and you don't have to make extra moves!" Lu Jing explained.

But he has already determined in his heart that Lin Zhixiao should be the eyeliner that King Zhongshun placed in the Jia family, but he can't understand what the purpose of King Zhongshun in arranging Miaoyu into the Jia family is, and what is the attitude of King Zhongshun towards Miaoyu.

After Lu Zheng retreated, Lu Jing no longer thought about Miaoyu, but continued to think about the chaotic situation in the DPRK and China.

Now the court situation is becoming more and more complicated, and even the King of Beijing is implicated in the affairs of the Hanlin Academy.

After the next dynasty, the king of Beijing handed over Guo Lang to Dali Temple, Guo Lang strongly denied that he had written a letter to Guo Ju, and the letter was forged.

Lu Jing went to visit Shen Ji and learned about Emperor Yuanyong's attitude.

The emperor asked Shen Ji to expose this matter in the court, it should be just to knock King Beijing, so that King Beijing and others have stopped a little recently, and they don't really believe that King Beijing is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the case should be hastily closed when the case is tried by Guo Lang, as for what the truth is, whether to investigate it secretly or not, the emperor has not explained.

The next day, before Lu Jing went to Hanlin Academy, he explained to Lu Bei and asked him to arrange the guards and carriage to send Daiyu and Zhiyu to Muni Academy.

At the right moment, Lin Daiyu and Lu Zhiyu went out of the west gate of the outer city and came to the Muni Courtyard.

Miaoyu personally greeted the two and led the two to the inner room for tea.

After some greetings, Miaoyu saw that Lu Zhiyu had a smile on her face, so she said, "I heard that your brother won the champion, congratulations!" ”

"I didn't expect even Master Miaoyu to know, hehe, but Master Miaoyu should congratulate Sister Lin now." Lu Zhiyu returned the salute with a smile.

Miaoyu turned to Daiyu and asked, "What are the happy events in my sister's family?" ”

Lin Daiyu glanced at Lu Zhiyu, her face was slightly red, and she said: "Master Miaoyu, don't listen to her nonsense, since Gusu said goodbye, we haven't seen each other for almost a year!" ”

Seeing Miaoyu's puzzled expression, Lu Zhiyu hurriedly explained: "My brother has just been engaged to marry Sister Lin, and Sister Lin will be my sister-in-law in the future!" ”

"What little sister-in-law, if you want to make fun of me again, I'm going to be angry!" Lin Daiyu said in shame.

Miaoyu was stunned when she heard this, saw the laughter of the two, sighed in her heart, and then reined in her thoughts, and said to Daiyu: "I didn't expect you to get married, but I want to congratulate you!" ”

Lin Daiyu thanked her shyly, then pinched Lu Zhiyu's little face, and said, "Just know that if you make fun of me, I don't believe that you didn't get married on the day you got married, and then I will see how I shame you." ”

Lu Zhiyu hurriedly begged Daiyu for mercy, and after the two played, Daiyu immediately asked about Miaoyu's recent situation in Beijing.

Miaoyu's expression darkened, and she told the two of them about her master's death and the Jia family's invitation to her.

Then asked Daiyu: "I heard that you have been in Rongguo Mansion for a few years, how are you doing in their mansion, and what is the temperament of the wife in charge?" ”

When Lin Daiyu heard Miaoyu ask like this, she knew that she had moved to the Jia family, and now she asked her, perhaps because she was worried that the Jia family would rely on the national family and bully her.

She knew that the situation of the Jia family was not very good now, and it was not a good thing for the concubine to save her relatives, if Miaoyu went in, she would be implicated sooner or later.

He persuaded Miaoyu to say: "Master Miaoyu also knows the relationship between me and Rongfu, if I say good things about the Jia family, it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of self-examination, this matter Daiyu is really not easy to speak, since ancient times, the Houmen is as deep as the sea, and Master Miaoyu is a person who pursues leisure, why should he enter the deep house to be restrained." ”

Miaoyu explained: "I am only living here now, and last winter, when Master passed away, I wanted to help the spirit return to my hometown, but Master's last words asked me to live here for the time being, waiting for the result. ”

"You don't have to worry, since I asked you, I naturally believe you!"

Lin Daiyu thought for a while and said: "I don't say how the master of the Jia family is, how the subordinates are, if Master Miaoyu believes me, it's best not to agree." ”

Miaoyu said very blandly: "I heard that their reputation in the East Mansion is not good, thinking that they are the same family, and the actions of the West Mansion are not much better, since you said so, I pushed this matter away!" ”

Lin Daiyu hurriedly explained: "Master Miaoyu misunderstood, although the Rong Mansion and the Ning Mansion are the same family, but the two mansions act completely differently, the Rong Mansion pays the most attention to the rules, and my grandmother has always been merciful and poor and treats people kindly, and the Mansion never does anything to bully others." ”

"It's just that after all, it's the Guogong Mansion, and there are many people in the mansion with different thoughts, and those subordinates will inevitably carry the master behind their backs and gossip."

"It's okay, if I go, I just stay in the temple and don't have contact with them!" Miaoyu didn't care much about that.

Lin Daiyu heard Miaoyu say this, and knew that she was more inclined to go to Jia's house in her heart, and wanted to persuade her again.

Miaoyu said: "Forget it, I won't embarrass you, it's really not appropriate for you to comment on the rights and wrongs of the Jia family, I'll think about it again!" ”

"When we met for the first time, I said that if we meet in Beijing, I will invite you to drink Aomei Xueshui, and the two of you will wait for a while, and I will go to fetch water to make tea for the two of you!"

Lin Daiyu saw that Miaoyu was a little sad on her face, and she no longer persuaded them, they are now far away from their homeland, and it is also a kind of nostalgia to be able to drink the water of their hometown.
