Chapter 160: It's hard to return favors

In the flower hall, Mrs. Hu was reprimanding Hua'er sisters-in-law with a straight face, "I don't dare to go out, you don't understand the rules one by one, go out and make trouble for me?" Stay at home, want to go shopping and let the grandmother in the house take you, you are not allowed to walk around, you are not allowed to cause trouble. ”

Fang Yue honestly stood in the corner of the flower hall and waited, after Mrs. Hu finished training, she waved her hand to call her, and Fang Yue stepped forward with a smile.

"Tell someone?" Mrs. Hu touched the little girl's head lovingly, and the little girl grew up in the blink of an eye.

Fang Yue recounted the conversation with Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Hu nodded with a smile, "That's right, your father already has a reputation, you are not a peasant girl, you must know how to be proportionate when dealing with merchants." O capital! It's good anywhere, but there are too many powerful people.

In the past, my grandmother looked at the princess and stood up to the sky, and when I arrived in the capital, I realized that the princess was holding me because she wanted to know that living as she wanted was just the surface, and she didn't want to do anything when she went anywhere.

Let's just say this rule, we used to be nothing, and we went to the city for fear of saying the wrong thing and going the wrong way. The identity came up all of a sudden, and I thought that we could be in the top three? You must know that those who can have the ability are not inconspicuous. Okay, it's useless to talk to you too much, when you're old, you just love to nag. ”

Fang Yue put her arm around Mrs. Hu and said, "Grandma Hu doesn't go out, and I don't go out, I talk to grandma every day to relieve boredom, okay?" ”

Mrs. Hu smiled and squinted, she knew that the noblewomen laughed at her for being childish, and many noblewomen told their daughters what they saw the Guogong Mansion was like, and what it was like to marry, saying that she was not on the stage. She knew that people were not looking at Brother Ling, not at the Liao family, but at the position of Duchess Ningguo.

The princess told her that she should choose a famous marriage in the court, with the support of the Yue family, and Brother Ling can be more obedient in the court.

But she didn't want to do that, she never wanted the responsibility she carried, but she couldn't throw it away, she and Brother Ling were in this position, and the brothers would have food with the Liao family. She and Brother Ling relied on their brothers to survive.

She didn't want to get married and get married again, even if people were very willing, she didn't want to be too deeply involved with the power in the capital. The princess said that she was a little childish, or that she couldn't see the situation clearly, but she just didn't want to add another mess to her family.

"Okay, I'm glad to have a chick with me." Mrs. Hu took Fang Yue's hand and smiled.

Xiaohua came in with the child in her arms and asked Mrs. Hu to see if her son was fatter. Fang Yue sat aside, quietly parting the silk threads.

Mrs. Hu smiled and teased the child, and said softly, "Since I made this old lady Laoshizi, I have never been comfortable, and I think about it is the happiest when I live in Fenggu Town."

You are all married, come to the capital to show me, I am happy and content! The capital is not the place you should be, go home for the New Year! The princess is having a hard time now, let's not make trouble for the princess, don't bother her anymore. ”

Xiaohua looked at Mrs. Hu with tears, "Auntie, I know, we'll leave after the New Year." ”

Fang Yue accompanied Mrs. Hu to go back after lunch, and went to her father's yard first, and saw that Cai Kun was discussing strategies with her father, guessing the scope of the topic of Chunqiu, she didn't come forward to disturb and quietly retreated.

In the wing, my mother and brother were talking, Fang Yue went in and sat down, bowed her head and listened to them, carefully dividing the silk threads.

"I've heard Aunt Hu say that in the past two days, the people in the capital are unstable, and I don't know what's going on with the young emperor, let's stay honest and don't make trouble. I asked you to buy the house, and I had to discuss the matter with Aunt Hu about moving.

Let's plunge headlong into the capital, we don't understand anything, and we don't know anyone. Don't make trouble anymore, I've already caused a lot of trouble to Aunt Hu, I can't help it, what can we thank people? ”

Dong Xiaoying frowned and said, "Actually, we have been able to go smoothly until now, all relying on the Guogong Mansion, and all pointing to Aunt Hu to help secretly." What are you? It's nothing, why cooperate with the county lord in business, the county lord says a word, we are all her minions, we are serving the princess's bowl, if you don't have your grandma Hu to protect us, we don't know how to die. ”

Chang An nodded and said, "Yes!" We have relied on the Guogong Mansion all the way to today, but we have nothing to repay others, only to be honest and obedient, and not to cause trouble. ”

"I regret letting your father come to the capital for the exam." Dong Xiaoying sighed.

"No, even if we don't take the exam for Dad, we should come. The prophetic dream that Yueyue did, I think it might come true. The Liao family in Ningguo Mansion is like a little doll holding a gold brick walking on the street, and anyone who sees it has hot eyes. ”

Chang An sighed and said, "The Liao family has military power, and the connections in the army have been cultivated little by little by several generations, and when you come to Liao Ling, how deep your feelings are, how many people miss the Liao family, and how many are willing to follow Liao Ling, a child?"

Grandma Hu asked General Hua and Uncle Skewer to go to Ningyuan, but she was also worried that someone in the army would have different intentions. General Hua looked very arrogant, but he knew it in his heart. With the string uncle following, I think I can stabilize Ning Yuan's side. ”

Dong Xiaoying looked at her son and asked, "What about the capital?" What does the young emperor think? The Liao family now only has Brother Ling, and in the eyes of outsiders, the Liao family's military power is at their fingertips.

The name of the horse master is just good, he is not an official in the court, and his greatest use is to help the princess take care of the fief. There is no one in the Liao family, and there is military power in the army, which is the most terrifying. ”

Chang'an said in a low voice, "Mother, we can't help." ”

"Yes! We're nothing, ants. We don't have the right to dictate to the Liao family. Dong Xiaoying said.

Fang Yue raised his head and asked, "Mother, what do you want to do?" ”

Dong Xiaoying said in a low voice, "I think it's better to hand over the military power." ”

"Mother, we don't understand anything, but don't talk nonsense in front of Grandma Hu. Besides, Grandma Hu is better than us, we are obedient and obedient, better than anything else. Fang Yue shook her head, my mother was anxious about the Liao family, if she handed over the military power, what my mother said was not confident, and she knew that it would not work!

Dong Xiaoying pressed her temples, "How did Yueyue talk to the embroidery workshop?" ”

Fang Yue told Mrs. Li again.

Chang'an got up and went out, "Mother, I'm out." ”

"Oh, you go play with Brother Ling!"

Fang Yue lined up the silk threads and whispered, "Mother, brother is studying artillery with Liao Ling, if it can be done, artillery will become the secret weapon of the Liao family's army." ”

"This is a matter that does not need to be reported to the imperial court? It's illegal to make weapons privately! After Dong Xiaoying finished speaking, she patted her head and said, "Stupid, what is Brother Ling'er reporting!" ”

Fang Yue whispered, "Now the court and the central government all know that Liao Shizi doesn't like military affairs and likes to be with craftsmen." Master Ma didn't care about this, he should have acquiesced to Brother Ling'er doing this. ”

"Then you say, can your father be admitted to the Jinshi? If you can get in, what should you do? Let's stop taking the test! Dong Xiaoying pulled her daughter and asked.

Fang Yue frowned and looked at her mother, "Didn't you say that we owe favors, we should find a way to repay the favor as much as we can?" Dad must pass the exam this time, only if he wins the Jinshi, Dad will have the ability to repay the favor! ”

"Can you repay your kindness if you pass the Jinshi examination? Even if your father is an official, he is also a petty official of the eighth rank and the seventh grade, what can he do? It's Cai Kun, I think he can hit. Your father has half of the strength of other people's learning, and I don't worry that he will fail the exam. Dong Xiaoying was worried again.

If you pass the exam, you will start as a junior official, and if you really need help, I am afraid that you will be weak, and if you fail the exam, you will still be dragged down by the Guogong Mansion, and I am even more sorry for others. It's hard!
