What Xie Shurou can figure out, Gu Yilan can certainly figure it out. Because of this, she began to complain about Xie Shurou again, feeling that it was the troublesome Miss Xie who found it, which not only dragged her down, but also let the young brother of the Mu family take care of her affairs in vain.

Because she was angry, Gu Yilan didn't take the initiative to deal with Xie Shurou for a long time, and even the daily "courtesy exchanges" on the face were simply saved.

However, Xie Shurou didn't care if Gu Yilan had frequent interactions with her, she stayed at home and began to cook happily again, wanting to "repay" Mu Hongsheng for her help in the princess's mansion.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival soon after the end of Princess Ningfu's flower-viewing banquet, and Mu Zhengyi, the eldest son of Mu, had already quietly returned, nesting at home to accompany his grandmother and younger siblings to celebrate the festival.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou were the same, they both gave Mu Hongshang a carefully prepared festival gift, Gu Yilan gave a beautiful yarn lantern, and her own osmanthus wine.

And Xie Shurou still gave a gift a day in advance, and sent a strange-looking rabbit master, as well as snowy custard mooncakes like last year. Mu Hongshang smiled when she saw those delicate and beautiful little moon cakes.

She specially wrote a letter for the Xie family's errand mother to take it back, the letter said that Xie Shurou's moon cakes are beautiful and delicious, but unfortunately they are too small, and last year they gave half to their brothers and brothers, and everyone complained that they were not enough to eat.

Xie Shurou was happy when she received the letter, and she immediately packed all the remaining snowy mooncakes at home and asked someone to send them to the Anguo Mansion.

The people in Xie Mansion who were waiting to eat Xie Shurou's mooncakes were all dumbfounded. Xie Changjing also wanted to ask Xie Shurou for a box of moon cakes to give to Jiang Wenbin to show off her daughter's ingenuity, but it turned out to be good, even his own share was gone.

Xie Xiang and his wife knew that it was Mu Hongshang who wrote a letter to ask for moon cakes, but they laughed, Xie Xiang said as if sighing: "Among the grandchildren, the two children who are Chang Jing are the most transparent and intelligent. Mu Feng is very smart, he really won the first case in this year's hospital exam, Rou'er is clever and sensible, in the end, it is still the eldest daughter-in-law who will raise children. ”

When Xie Xiang said this, he seemed to have forgotten that Xie Changjing had three concubines and four babies, and he only seemed to see the well-behaved Xie Mufeng and Xie Shurou in his eyes, and he didn't count Xie Shufang and Xie Muchun among his grandchildren at all.

After hearing this, Aunt Shen, who was originally very favored, tore two handkerchiefs with hatred, but she couldn't do anything about it. What can I do? The two children of the eldest grandmother are now the treasures of the lord and the lady, if she dares to make trouble at this time, she is afraid that she will die first.

Aunt Shen pouted, dressed up helplessly, and prepared to go to Grandma Xie's house to set up rules. Anyway, in the big grandmother's house, you can still see the uncle! These days, the uncle always stays in the big grandmother's house, and their concubines have been alone in the empty room for many days.

Aunt Shen was unhappy, and the rest of Xie Xiang's daughters-in-law were also not very happy, thinking that it was because the father-in-law was partial and preferred the children of the uncle's family. are all grandchildren who grew up in front of them, why only praise the two children of the old family.

But no matter what others think, Xie Changjing and his family are very happy, and Xie Changjing seems happy to even go to the yamen these days.

Compared with Xie Changjing, his close friend Jiang Wenbin has been a little sad these days.

Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor is going to send a messenger to the north, Jiang Wenbin found Zhou Shangshu a long time in advance, and recommended himself to go to the northern army.

Logically speaking, Jiang Wenbin was a poor soldier of the labor army last year, and he was familiar with the situation, and he already had experience in inspecting the labor army after being ordered, so it was only appropriate to send him there.

However, what is surprising is that Zhou Shangshu promised to do it well, but in early July, when the Holy Lord elected Qincha, he actually recommended another director of the military department.

When Jiang Wenbin got the news, the holy decree had been issued. The moment he got the letter, Jiang Wenbin couldn't have a deeper understanding of the limitations of his position, he was just a six-rank official who was not qualified to go to the court, and everything needed to rely on the chief officer of the military department to act.

Speaking of which, in Zhou Shangshu's eyes, he was just a tool to execute orders, and he was extremely passive. Jiang Wenbin knew that if he didn't have his own ideas and completely obeyed Zhou Shangshu's orders, his situation might be better than now.

It was because he wanted to do things too much and had too many ideas, so Zhou Shangshu was even more worried about sending him to the north. Zhou Shangshu was afraid that he would take the initiative to support An Guogong and run hard for the affairs of the north like a year ago, and there would be many disputes and troubles as a result.

Jiang Wenbin knew that when the princes first entered the court, Zhou Shangshu wanted stability most at this juncture. If there is nothing to do in the north, he, the secretary of the military department, will naturally have nothing to do.

Last year, An Guogong and General Mu jointly signed a letter to ask for more troops in the north to repair the city defense, An Guogong held up the song to block the door of the military department, coupled with the support of Jiang Wenbin, the labor army, Zhou Shangshu had to follow this hot potato, and came forward to tear up with the household.

Jiang Wenbin knew that Zhou Shangshu worked so hard for the affairs of the northern border last year, all because this was the responsibility of his military department, and he couldn't avoid it.

Jiang Wenbin also knew that the affairs of the northern border were extremely complicated, and Zhou Shangshu was unwilling to get involved in this trouble. Therefore, he was reluctant to let Jiang Wenbin go to the north again as a labor army messenger, for fear that the previous mess would not be solved, and more trouble would be involved.

For the current Zhou Shangshu, he doesn't know or know the affairs of the northern border, so he naturally doesn't have to take responsibility, but if he knows and doesn't deal with it, it will be lazy. Today's saints can be called Ming Jun, and they will not tolerate him like this.

Therefore, Zhou Shangshu sent the good old man of the military department, Qin, to the north. Qin is in charge, Jiang Wenbin has worked with him for many years, so he naturally understands it. Cowardly and timid, but extremely obedient, and can be a man, only Zhou Shangshu is the first to look forward.

After Jiang Wenbin got the news, he understood, Zhou Shangshu was afraid that he had already explained the matter of Qin, and when he arrived in the north, he only worked the army, and did not care about the rest. Zhou Shangshu should have also specially explained to the head of Qin, if An Guogong had any requirements, he would all say that after returning to Beijing, he would ask the military officials to decide, and he could not respond to anything.

I have to say that after so many years in the Ministry of War, Jiang Wenbin really knows Zhou Shangshu very well. That's what he thought, so he was reluctant to send Jiang Wenbin to the north.

Zhou Shangshu had already thought about it, even if An Guogong gave birth to other requirements this time, he would directly send it to the emperor, and there was no disobedient Qin to dig him up the wall, and he could not easily bear the responsibility.

When the time comes, it will be placed on the emperor's imperial case, and the emperor will do whatever he approves. If the emperor is willing to agree to spend money in the north and ask for money and things, the emperor will press Lin Xiang, and he will not need to offend people with a military secretary.

The emperor pressed and didn't do it...... Naturally, there is no matter of him as the secretary of the military department......
