The old eunuch lowered his head and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother Sage Mingjian, then Su Qiange will only respect you so much, it seems that she is still very smart and knowledgeable." ”

The chess pieces fell on the chessboard, and the crisp sound resounded through the Yikun Palace, and the Empress Dowager Cize looked at the old eunuch with a smile, "Yes, of course she knows current affairs, otherwise how could so many people be deceived by her?" Even Hongu almost got into her full set, this little fox, it's not such a simple character. ”

Saying that, the Empress Dowager Cize picked up a chess piece from the chess box again, chose the most dense place for the white chess pieces on the chessboard and put it down, and the old eunuch who looked at the chessboard was stunned, "The Queen Mother, Sage, you are ......?"

"My step seems risky and hard to understand, right?"

Empress Dowager Cize asked the old eunuch with a smile, the old eunuch looked up cautiously when she saw this, how dare he directly say that there is a problem with Empress Dowager Cize, but obviously Empress Dowager Cize also knows about this, and the old eunuch is a little embarrassed for a while.

Seeing that the old eunuch was in a dilemma, the Empress Dowager Cize smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, this palace is clear, you don't know how to answer in your heart, this chess, just like Su Qiange, she knows that she is in danger, but she is also willing to put herself in, because she knows that she can win." ”

The old eunuch was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Cize's evaluation of Su Qiange was so high, and he never felt that Su Qiange was so wise and foolish.

"Queen Mother Sage...... According to the slave, although Su Qiange is a smart person, he is not as smart as you said, the Queen Mother, right? It is likely that you think highly of her, after all, the Queen Mother, you are a smart person, and some people do things, regardless of their plans, only according to their mood. ”

When the Empress Dowager Cize heard the chess pieces twisted in her hand, she fell into deep thought, and the chess pieces never fell on the chessboard for a long time, and after a while, the old eunuch realized that she might have said the wrong thing, and immediately knelt down for the Empress Dowager Cize.

"The Queen Mother Sage, it's a slave who has a lot to say!"

"Nope." Empress Dowager Cize seemed to have woken up from a dream and looked at the old eunuch, "This palace thought about it, Su Qiange is indeed a casual person, but if a person is not smart, he may die long ago if he acts casually." ”

"Yes, yes, the Queen Mother sage said yes." The old eunuch hurriedly kowtowed.

Empress Dowager Cize glanced down at the old eunuch and said in a deep voice, "You can help me watch a little, see how Your Majesty plans to deal with her, she is so swaggering, according to Your Majesty's character, she will definitely be furious." ”

After a pause, the Empress Dowager Cize pondered for a long time, and then said, "If it's too much, help it, if such an interesting person is gone, it will be boring." ”

Saying that, the Empress Dowager Cize continued to play her own chess, and the palace maid on the opposite side cautiously dropped the white child, and the Empress Dowager Cize suddenly raised her head to look at the palace maid.

"Do you know backgammon?"

The palace maid was stunned for a while when she heard this, and it took a while to understand what the Empress Dowager Cize meant.

"Backgammon? I've heard of it, but I haven't really done it. ”

"Simple." The Empress Dowager Cize's eyes lit up, and she put away all the chess pieces in front of her, and said to the little palace maid, "This five-in-a-row chess is very simple, and this palace has also been taught by others. ”

The little palace maid nodded blankly, looking at the appearance of the Empress Dowager Cize happily looking forward to playing backgammon, which was simply unheard of.

Seeing that the vegetable base was built, Su Qiange silently empty his wrist, although the things in the restaurant are enough to last for a while, and some can be planted as seeds, but the kitchen is still not good without ideas.

In the current situation, it is impossible for her to go to the north without authorization, although Su Qiange seems to care about nothing on the surface, but the consequences of going to the north without permission and being known by Xue Chen, Su Qiange still subconsciously feels that it is not easy to bear.

If she told Xue Chen, without a reasonable reason, Xue Chen would definitely not let her go.

Biting his lower lip, Su Qiange twitched, or go to Hezhuang to get soybeans, this reason is always enough, right? But if Xue Chen knew, Xue Chen would definitely ask, why didn't he let someone else go.

I don't know why, after coming back, Xue Chen rarely let people mention Hezhuang, as if there was something unsightly in Hezhuang, especially when Su Qiange mentioned it, Xue Chen always pretended not to hear, this trick really didn't work.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, Aunt Wang from the kitchen of the Hou Mansion passed through the gate in the middle of the two courtyards, and came to Su Qiange with a smile.

"Girl, seeing that it's time for dinner, why don't you go to the kitchen and see, what can you teach the old body, and the old body will learn more from you."

Xue Chen is picky about eating, if he can eat Su Qiange's food, he will never eat other people's food, Aunt Wang was very unhappy that her kitchen was occupied by someone at first, but when she saw that Xue Chen refused to eat a few bites of food, she could only compromise.

Therefore, every time she arrives at dinner, Aunt Wang comes to Su Qiange's house and asks Su Qiange to go over to "come and guide", Su Qiange wakes up like a dream and looks at Aunt Wang.

"Is this time?"

"Yes, girl, Hou Ye is coming back soon, if you don't go over, I guess I will be hungry again at noon today."

Su Qiange hurriedly said when he heard this, "Then let's go quickly, I just happened to see what ingredients you have prepared today, every time the ingredients in the Hou Mansion are very fresh, I guess Aunt Wang, you must know a lot of good vegetable merchants." ”

While speaking, Su Qiange followed Aunt Wang to the Hou Mansion.

The early dynasty has long been dispersed, and it stands to reason that Xue Chen should come back at this hour, but today the emperor has more important things to do and Xue Chen is left behind, and it is better to be left by the emperor than to be summoned by Princess Ping'an.

Yun Jiuxiao looked at Xue Chen, who was standing under His Royal Highness, tidied up his wide sleeves, and said in a deep voice, "Now that it's about to enter summer, the ice on the northern side has melted, but the water flow has become less and the river is drying up again. ”

Xue Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, it was strange that the water was rising at the beginning, but now that he has gone down, Xue Chen feels normal, but what happened before and after is really weird, and in Yun Jiuxiao's opinion, he must also feel very weird.

"Your Majesty, this matter also feels that it comes and goes very suddenly, the source of the Songjiang River has not yet been found, and if you want to completely control it, if you don't want to find the source, you will have to confluence and pour the water of other rivers into the Songjiang River." Xue Chen thought about it from a practical point of view.

"Oh?" Yun Jiuxiao was slightly surprised when he heard this, "It seems that you have already thought of a way." ”

"No, Your Majesty." Xue Chen hurriedly said, "When the minister was in the north before, he thought about how to make the water in Songjiang rise, and he also thought about telling His Majesty, but Songjiang Zhang Chao was sudden, and the minister didn't talk to His Majesty about the minister's idea, and now it seems that it should be useful." ”

Yun Jiuxiao stared at Xue Chen seriously when he heard this, as if he wanted to see from Xue Chen's eyes and expression whether Xue Chen was lying, but he didn't see anything for a while, Yun Jiuxiao retracted his gaze, looked at the fold not far away, and kept pointing at the armrest of the chair under him.

"And what are you going to do next?" Yun Jiuxiao asked.

"But by His Majesty's orders." Xue Chen clasped his fists and saluted.

Hearing this, Yun Jiuxiao picked up the fold in front of him and played with it twice, glanced at it a few times, swept the dense content on it, and praised Su Qiange again, so he closed his eyes and looked at Xue Chen.

"Su Qiange has done a lot of big things recently, and everyone in the court praised her for her intelligence and made a lot of contributions to Dayun." As he spoke, Yun Jiuxiao looked at Xue Chen and asked in a deep voice, "This matter...... What do you think? ”

Xue Chen had already considered Yun Jiuxiao's possible anger, or disdain, when Yun Jiuxiao rewarded Su Qiange before, this was not something that Yun Jiuxiao's temper could do.

Thinking about it now, eighty percent of those things were persuaded by Jiang Ren, and the only one who could persuade Yun Jiuxiao and have such a pattern by Yun Jiuxiao's side was Jiang Ren.

Now that it's time for the two of them to get along, Yun Jiuxiao naturally can't hold back his temper, and he wants to say something if he has anything, and, according to Xue Chen's estimate, Yun Jiuxiao's inquiry this time should be to confirm how much help Xue Chen should give if he sends Xue Chen.

Therefore, Xue Chen is afraid that he will have to think carefully about how to speak. But there is no need to think about this matter at all, Su Qiange himself does not have so many noble thoughts, Xue Chen is enough to dissipate Yun Jiuxiao according to the truth.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the courtiers who think highly of Qiange, Qiange is a businessman, and his current actions are just to alleviate the problems that arose in the water and clouds before and avoid such problems from appearing again in the future."

After a pause, Xue Chen continued, "To put it bluntly, Qiange is just to make money, maybe because of this, she has made some small contributions to Da Yun, which is her honor. ”

The expression on Yun Jiuxiao's face softened a little when he heard this, Jiang Ren's statement and Xue Chen's combination was what Yun Jiuxiao wanted most.

"Looks like you know her well." Yun Jiuxiao said, "Since this is the case, if you go to the north, she will definitely follow, not long after you left last time, she came to take the initiative to ask for help, this time...... Why don't you let her go with her, I think she has a lot of methods. ”

What is not dissipated, Yun Jiuxiao is a careful eye for holding grudges at all, Xue Chen can be regarded as understanding, this time Yun Jiuxiao sent him and Su Qiange to the north, although controlling the water is one thing, but more is definitely Yun Jiuxiao's jealousy of Su Qiange.

Xue Chen even suspected that as soon as he and Su Qiange left, Yun Jiuxiao would release Shen Shangshu to do something, after all, Shen Shangshu was not beheaded in the end.

However, this time Shen Shangshu wants to engage Shen Junmo is much simpler, Shen Junmo's restaurant now has Su Qiange's silver, and if Su Qiange is defeated, Shen Junmo will be almost the same.

Thinking of this, Xue Chen was angry in his heart, and he didn't know why Su Qiange had to invest in the Star Picking Pavilion, and he also gave it to others, did he pick the Star Pavilion because he wouldn't do anything himself?

Obviously, he has done it himself for so many years, and at this time, he suddenly needs Su Qiange's help, Xue Chen thinks about it, and thinks that Shen Junmo used some kind of evil art to let Su Qiange do this.

Yun Jiuxiao looked at Xue Chen standing in place, his face changed colorfully, he couldn't help frowning, thinking about what Xue Chen was thinking, after a long time, Yun Jiuxiao reacted, why should he care about what Xue Chen was thinking, Xue Chen was distracted in front of him was a big taboo!

"What? Don't want your sweetheart to suffer with you? Yun Jiuxiao said coldly.

Xue Chen came to his senses when he heard this, "No, Your Majesty, the minister is just thinking about whether Qiange will agree herself, if she agrees by herself, the minister will naturally be fine, but now there is a lot of business in Shuiyun, so I don't know if Qiange can get out." ”

Hearing this, Yun Jiuxiao sneered, "I didn't expect you to consider her personal wishes." ”

The two looked at each other, the corners of Yun Jiuxiao's mouth were a little cold, and Xue Chen pretended to look at Yun Jiuxiao with a righteous appearance that he couldn't understand anything.
