"Don't talk about that." Gu Yilan patted her cheek and said with a strong smile: "Where have I lost weight, you are the one who is very thin." Come with me, early this morning, Xie Shurou sent someone to send crystal cakes, filled with osmanthus flowers. At that time, you were still staring at the sixth brother practicing in the small teaching field, and I put it away. ”

"Sister Xie sent something so early today?" Mu Hongshang was a little surprised: "It's really rare." ”

"She knew you were going to practice at that time." Gu Yilan replied: "That's why I asked someone to send it to me." There is no letter today, only a message. Today is Xie Shuyi's big gift, and the family is busy, so I rushed to send some snacks in the morning. ”

"Sister Xie is really." Mu Hongshang sighed lightly: "I'm so busy at home, and I'm still worried about what I'm doing." ”

"Who told you to be worried?" Gu Yilan stood up and pulled Mu Hongshang again: "Look at you, how much weight you have lost in the past month or so." Let's go, I ordered the small kitchen to stew sweet soup in the morning, and you can go to my room for some snacks. ”

"Sister-in-law, you have been taking care of your second uncle and mother so hard recently, so don't stare at the small kitchen every day to stew soup." Mu Hongshang couldn't help but persuade: "The soup sent to grandmothers, mothers, and uncles is different every day, and you have to get up early in the morning every day for these soups." Don't stay up like this. ”

"I didn't do it myself," Gu Yilan turned her head and smiled: "It's all the kitchen lady who is busy, I just give a word in vain, and I can't be tired." ”

"The soup is different for everyone every day, how much thought do you have to put into this?" Mu Hongsheng's eyebrows frowned slightly: "It's not hard work." Besides, today, there is sweet soup in your small kitchen at this hour, and it was specially stewed for me early in the morning, right? ”

"Where is it for you, I also want to drink a bowl of sweet osmanthus soup." Gu Yilan smiled and waved her hand: "It's late autumn right now, and the evening gui is just right, isn't it a waste not to eat?" ”

"Sister-in-law, you are really ......" Mu Hongshang sighed and followed Gu Yilan to drink soup.

It's late autumn in a blink of an eye, and the evening laurel is about to fall......

Miss Xie San, Xie Shuyi, was in such a late autumn when the fragrance of laurel was fragrant, and the eldest grandson of Lord Wang Zhixiu had a big gift.

The dowry brought by the Wang family to the Xie family was very rich, attracting the people of half the city to watch, and it was obvious that the Wang family attached great importance to Xie Shuyi, the eldest granddaughter-in-law.

However, even if the Wang family has tried their best to prepare for the dowry, it is still not comparable to Gu Yilan's pomp and circumstance when she celebrated the ceremony. Gu Yilan has been married for less than two years, and the time is not too long, and everyone is still very impressed by her wedding, so the people who hold the wedding after this will inevitably be compared with Mu Zhengyi and Gu Yilan's wedding back then.

For example, this time Miss Xie San gave a big gift. Although the pomp is big enough, there are still people talking about it, saying that it is not as good as the dowry gift given to the Gu family by the Anguo Mansion.

The people who said this were naturally a little suspicious of stirring up trouble, and the Xie family and the Wang family naturally knew about it and didn't care much about it, but those inconsequential idle people liked to listen to these gossips, such as Mrs. Li Xiang, who was shaking a small fan, sitting in the Xie family's flower hall, waiting to eat and drink.

It stands to reason that with the previous level of friendship between the Xie family and the Li family, Wang Gongzi and Xie Shuyi would never invite Mrs. Li if they had a big gift.

However, at this time and then, first of all, because of Lord Wang Zhixiu, the relationship with Li Xiang is actually good, and political disagreements are common, at least the two did not openly fight each other like Xie Xiang and Li Xiang before.

Secondly, it is also because the recent Li Xiang is indeed proud of the spring breeze and is in the limelight. He presided over the peace talks with the Rong Di people, although it lasted more than a year and the process was extremely difficult, but the final result made the emperor very satisfied. Because of this, Li Xiang has been relied on by the emperor in recent times, so this time the Wang family and the Xie family gave a big gift and still sent an invitation to Li Xiang's family.

I have to say that in the previous party struggle, Li Xiang made a correct judgment, and did not hesitate to make a trade-off, preferring to be at a disadvantage in the party struggle, and also going all out to do the important tasks assigned by the emperor beautifully.

After the peace talks, the emperor greatly praised Li Xiang, and these days, it seems that he also relies more on Li Xiang. Everyone thought that after Li Xiang regained a city, he would be in a hurry to retaliate. After all, before Lin Xiang told the old man to return to his hometown, several important ministers of the DPRK and the central government jointly encircled and suppressed Li Xiang, which made him suffer such a big loss, and even lost the military department.

However, what people didn't expect was that Li Xiang was very calm this time. He did not rush to fight for power, but gave the emperor a fold and fished for people.

That's right! Fishing for people!

It was none other than Li Xiang's student, Yin Zhao Zhiliang, the former Zhending Mansion who had been played by Xie Xiang's bureau before. Fortunately, the emperor sent Zheng Jin to Zhending Mansion to investigate Zhao Zhiliang's case, Li Xiang was Zheng Jin's person, in order to protect his political power, Zheng Jin still showed mercy to Zhao Zhiliang's subordinates, and in the end he just demoted the official, and did not kill them all.

Of course, it is impossible to bargain from Zheng Jin. Although Zhao Zhiliang saved his life for the time being, he did not completely lose his position, and he seemed to be quite lucky. But in fact, Zheng Jin had already checked him out and pinched all the evidence of Zhao Zhiliang in his hands.

At present, Zhao Zhiliang is like a rabbit choked by Zheng Jin's throat, dying or living, all according to Zheng Jin's intentions, so he is still Li Xiang's most obedient student on the surface, an unlucky guy who made a mistake and was demoted, but in fact, the person he is most afraid of is not Li Xiang, but Zheng Jin.

Zheng Jin is not ignorant of Zhao Zhiliang's control, Li Xiang is actually not ignorant, but he doesn't care. Even he himself is Zheng Jin's person, and they are all a community of interests, and Li Xiang even feels that Zhao Zhiliang, who is firmly grasped in this way, is more reassuring.

Therefore, after Zhao Zhiliang was demoted, Li Xiang has been thinking about looking for an opportunity to get him back, after all, Zhao Zhiliang is not only reassuring, but also his ability to dredge relationships is also very fancy.

To put it bluntly, he is very good at drilling camps, and he can not only put down his body, but also pull his lower face, which is much stronger than Wen Chengping, who holds the family shelf all day long. Li Xiang instructed Wen Chengping to win over He Wenmao, the head of the household department, but after so long, there was no result.

It's Wen Chengping's daughter Wen Meiqing who is smarter than him! I got along well with the two young ladies of the He family. It's a pity that this is not useful, and the friendship between the Wen family and the He family still hasn't been able to extend from the back house to the court.

Therefore, after Yu Rongdi's peace talks, Li Xiang saw the emperor's good days, commanded the Ministry of Rites, who also made great contributions in the peace talks, and helped Zhao Zhiliang, who was demoted to be a county magistrate in a barren area, to say two words.
