Although the heart is unwilling, reluctant. But Gu San's grandmother still hurriedly took Gu Yilan out shopping, and hurriedly bought some Ningling specialty gifts for Gu Yilan's mother-in-law, which were even heavier than those given to Mrs. Gu and the concubines in the family.

"Your father is still in office, and no one can take care of him, and I can't go back with you right now," that night, Gu San's grandmother told her daughter uncomfortably while sorting out these newly purchased gifts: "I can't prepare for you to marry in person, I ...... in my heart Alas! In short, now you are also a person with a mother-in-law, you are a smart child, there are some things that you don't need me to tell you should also be clear, in the future, you will marry the eldest granddaughter-in-law, and you will have to serve the elders of your mother-in-law and grandmother, and you will do everything yourself. ”

"I also know the situation of the Mu family, so your marriage with the eldest son of Mu is probably not delayed, I am afraid that it will be done in a hurry within the year, and I don't know if I can go back and watch you get married with my own eyes. I can't keep an eye on your dowry, although your grandmother bought it for you, but you have to pay attention to it! I have been away with your father for many years, and in a blink of an eye you will grow up and be married. Lan'er, it's your mother who is sorry for you. ”

Gu Yilan looked at the chattering Grandma Gu San in a daze, and her eyes suddenly began to damp. She hurriedly lowered her head, covering the water in her eyes, and then stretched out her hand to hold Gu San's hand: "Mother, don't worry, I will be fine." ”

"I know, I know!" Grandma Gu San nodded a little choked: "My Lan'er has always been smart and well-behaved. Really! Why did you marry the Anguo Mansion! It would be good if it was the Lin family, and if you married Lin Gongzi, I wouldn't be so uneasy......"

Gu Yilan: ......

On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, Gu Yilan set off to leave Ningling with several carts of gifts, and Gu San's grandmother sent her daughter away with tears in her eyes. In fact, even Gu San's grandmother herself didn't know what kind of mood her daughter was feeling when she left, she seemed to be a little reluctant, but more resentful and unwilling.

She felt that this time their family was really suffering by the old fools of her parents-in-law and mother-in-law! If it weren't for her in-laws, her daughter would be able to smoothly engage with the son of the Lin family, and with the Lin family's in-laws, her husband could also return to Beijing smoothly, and her son could also study with her sister-in-law smoothly, how perfect!

It's all to blame on that pair of old fools who messed everything up!

On the day Gu Yilan returned to Beijing, Beijing was not calm, and Zhou Shangshu, who was imprisoned, was sentenced to a big sentence on this day, but what is surprising is that Zhou Shangshu, who has always been smooth, is actually a hard bone, no matter how heavy the punishment is, he will only shout injustice, and he will not say a word otherwise.

However, after Zhou Shangshu was imprisoned, the emperor was not as eager as when he urged Cui Wenju to interrogate, and did not inquire about Zhou Shangshu's case for several days.

The military department is deserted at the moment, because of the ordnance case a few years ago, a squire and two principals have been dismissed, and now the military department has fallen again, and the entire military department is half empty, which makes all the forces in the DPRK and China keep an eye on the military department, for fear that they will be slow to start and suffer losses.

It was also on this day that King Xin's cronies Ji Ling invited people to drink in the most famous Kuixing Tower in Beijing. The objects he invited were not important people, just a few young officials with low official positions and family backgrounds.

Of course, this matter can't be hidden from Zheng Jin. However, the several low-level officials invited by Jiling were too inconspicuous, and only Qiao Wenjin, the eye of the previous list, was worthy of attention. However, although this Qiao Wenjin is very knowledgeable, he is very good at being a man, it stands to reason that he is twenty-two years old, and he is also a rare talent, the emperor values him very much, and directly ordered Liupin Cheng Zhilang to be appointed, which is higher than the starting point of the same list of Jinshi, and it should have a bright future.

However, this Qiao Wenjin was not satisfied, and after drinking too much wine, he complained in public that the emperor had wasted his talent by letting him be Cheng Zhilang, and the emperor was angry and directly demoted him to a secretary from the seventh grade. Liupin was demoted after two days as an official, which was a joke back then.

However, this is not the end, this Qiao Wenjin was the first to be demoted, and offended his boss again, and was punished to go to the library to sort out the classics. Qiao Wenjin, who doesn't like the emperor and doesn't like his boss, has been staying in the position of secretary of Qipin all these years, except for sorting out the classics, he has not done anything serious, and the emperor seems to have forgotten about this person.

However, Zheng Jin has always been attentive, and after he got the banquet list, he pondered for a long time, and still ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on Qiao Wenjin.

At present, the most important thing for Zheng Jin is not the banquet in Kuixinglou, Zheng Jin knows that Zheng Ying, as a strong contender for the position of the crown prince, must contact the courtiers in private, and there will definitely be many courtiers who choose to stand on Zheng Ying's side, which is unavoidable.

Zheng Jin knew that what he needed to do in this battle for the throne was to overpower Zheng Ying in everything, so that the courtiers had no choice, and his father had no choice.

It's a pity that Zheng Jin is also very clear that it seems a little difficult to do this at the moment, King Xin is not an easy opponent to deal with, he has outstanding ability, he has hills and valleys in his chest, and he is careful and careful in doing things. For example, this time when he left Beijing to investigate the case, he was planted in the hands of his fifth brother, who was very deep in the city.

Qin Fenglu Cui Wenju's case, Zheng Ying handled it beautifully! not only proved his ability in front of his father, but also took the opportunity to weaken the power of Li Xiangyi's lineage, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone. In this game, he lost.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, when the emperor went to court, he praised Zheng Ying, the king of letters, in public, and sent him two errands. As for Zheng Jin's side, the emperor only had one sentence "Six is not bad, let me be impressed" and there was no follow-up.

Zheng Jin knew that if he wanted to turn the tables in this game, it would not be without a chance, and Zhao Zhiliang actually had a lot of things to do, but he couldn't do this. Li Xiang has been caught by Zheng Ying in the braid right now, he can't throw Zhao Zhiliang out again at this time to exchange for the emperor's praise, he can't lose a lot. Therefore, he can only eat this stuffy loss.

Queen Wei in Yuyang Palace almost gritted her teeth because of this, but Zheng Jin was still very calm, and he even smiled and persuaded Queen Wei: "Don't worry, I and the fifth brother are not fighting for a moment, what does it matter who wins or loses in this game, it's just for my father." ”

"You're not wrong about that," after Empress Wei calmed down, she also nodded in agreement: "Right now, half of the Xinwang Mansion is still in the palm of our hands, so there's really no need to worry." Besides, you are not bad, Tongshan has also made a great contribution to the suppression of bandits. It's just that this old five-baht personality is really annoying, and he doesn't leave half a leeway in doing things. ”
