On the way back to Qinghui Garden, Mingyun Luo Road,

"Ruofu, what did the Queen Mother tell you today?"

Jiang Ruofu turned his head,

"It's nothing, it's just some gossip, and I was admitted to the school for my daughter's biography, presumably it was Mama Du who said it."

Mingyunluo held her and walked slowly,

"Ruofu, my mother collected all the money from before and saved it in the bank."

"If you don't count the objects, there are more than 20,000 taels."

"Those objects are still there for the time being, but it is a little difficult to keep them, and if there is another incident in the future, I am afraid that it will not be good."

Jiang Ruofu gave her a relieved heart,

"Then move to the Dazong Mansion, the Dazong will not kick me out."

Mingyun Luo let out a sigh of relief and said,

"Okay."

Jiang Ruofu accompanied Ming Yunluo and walked back slowly, and the snuggled figure was long behind them.

About an hour later, Jiang Boqi came back from the party, and when he heard what happened in the main courtyard, he just frowned,

"What's the matter?"

"Madame is grounded, why don't you take a good look at her?"

The next person is speechless.

Where can they stop this?

Jiang Boqi took a sip of hot tea,

"It just so happens that there is something to tell Miss Seven here, you go to spread the word now, and you will definitely calm the anger in Ruofu's heart, and Miss Seven will not attack you."

Qinghui Yuan,

"The power of the house?"

Facing Ming Yunluo's surprise, the subordinate said respectfully,

"Yes, Aunt Yang has now handed over the housekeeper's key."

"The master said, Mama Du said when she was still in the mansion that if you have to choose the daughter of the great sect, you have to be in charge of the family, Miss Seven, you are now the rightful daughter of the great sect, and the power of the family is naturally not far behind."

"And it's not just our family, the other side branches have also elected a young lady to be in charge of the feed, and I heard that the results of the feed in charge of the feed will also be recorded in the girls' class for scores, and if there is an accident in the middle, it will be replaced."

"But our Inner History Mansion, naturally Miss Seventh is in charge alone, and I'm afraid that the other young ladies are not up to the task."

Jiang Ruofu took the key from the housekeeper's hand.

How cold and contemptuous the housekeeper was to Jiang Ruofu before, how respectful and flattering he is now.

The smile on his face will pile up the folds into a col,

"Miss Hexiqi is in charge."

Jiang Ruofu half-leaned back in the chair and said leisurely,

"Now that the key is in my possession, does it mean that I can start taking charge of the house?"

She played with the keys at her fingertips.

The butler flattered,

"Of course, now it's up to you to decide the whole house."

Jiang Ruofu casually put the key on a few cases,

"Then you should go down and let Xian go."

The butler jerked his head up,

"What?"

Jiang Ruofu picked a trick for Ming Yunluo, and said casually,

"Didn't you say that now I have to make the decisions up and down the house, and now that I said the first thing, you won't obey the order?"

The housekeeper is busy,

"Don't dare."

"But the old slave has been sitting in this position for a long time, and he is more familiar with the things up and down the house, you sifted the old slave from this position for a while, but I am afraid that you will not find a suitable person to be this housekeeper."

Jiang Ruofu handed the trick to Ming Yunluo,

"You don't have to worry about this, there is naturally another one without a housekeeper."

"Ming Sheng, from today onwards, you will temporarily act as the chief housekeeper, as for the original housekeeper, I will be a pawn under you, you see where it is appropriate to put him, is it good to pick up dung water? Or is it better to go to the back garden to dig the mud? ”

She casually handed Mingyun Luohua paper,

"Mother, this is better."

Mingyunluo took it and said approvingly,

"It's really better, Mingsheng's craftsmanship is really good."

Ming Sheng said respectfully,

"Aunt Xie appreciates that in the future, the slave and maid must be careful to share the worries of Miss Seven."

The housekeeper dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he could only grit his teeth,

"Then the minion will retreat first."

The people in the house ignored him.

But in the main courtyard, the Zhu family was furious,

"Why should the power of the family fall into the hands of that!"

Yuan Liu stopped her,

"Big lady, now is not the time to be angry, you should think about what you want to do in time, you can't keep letting Miss Seven hold on to the power of this family."

Zhu sat down, poured a sip of cold tea, and forcibly forced himself to calm down,

"Yes, if it's impulsive now, it's a mistake. She can't deal with Jiang Ruofu like before, her wings are hard now, and the previous methods don't work. We must think of some way to let her hand over this power of the family. ”

"You go and call the eldest prince to me now."

Yuan Liu hesitated,

"Now that Miss Seven is in power, she must be staring at our yard, so don't ......"

Zhu roared,

"Don't go yet!"

Jiang Lanqian listened to the news of the power of the family, and looked up at the dark sky, there were a few night birds staying in the trees, motionless, but their eyes were shining with a strange light.

Jiang Lanqian looked directly into the eyes of those night birds, and the maids next to her didn't dare to look directly.

"Miss, people say that these night birds are sneaky, and their eyes are glowing at night, so it's better not to look directly, so as not to fall into the evil body."

Jiang Lanqian stared at the night birds flying away from the tree, and her voice was gloomy,

"You say, am I really inferior to Jiang Ruofu?"

The maid said cautiously,

"How? Miss's aunt is the daughter of the county magistrate, what is her aunt, and how can you compare the two? ”

Jiang Lanqian laughed when she heard it,

"You're saying I'm not as good as a prostitute, are you?"

The maid hurriedly said,

"The slave doesn't mean that."

Jiang Lan looked at the empty branches.

No matter if she is not as good as Jiang Ruofu, she can't get the power of the family, and Jiang Ruofu doesn't want to hold it for a long time.

Late at night, the wisteria flowers are floating like a curtain on the gimbals of Qinghui Garden, and the small flower spikes are connected into a bunch and hung on the wooden poles of the gimbal, hanging down, so that the figures inside are sparse and sparse, and they can't really be seen.

Jiang Ruofu touched the piano, which was the one he borrowed from the prince.

On that day, she returned to the school in a hurry, and she didn't have time to go back to the house to get her own piano, so she could only borrow the son.

Jiang Ruofu raised his hand to pluck the strings, and the sound of the piano flowed like the sound of running water.

She suddenly remembered that she had asked Wen Guqi a long time ago after getting the booklet.

At that time, she looked at the booklet that listed almost all the families and was still aimless to the princess, and she was still cautious, with a hint of humble hope,

"The prince has never accepted Miss Lu, doesn't he like to be lively?"

Wen Guqi disagreed,

"Hmm."

The light of hope in Jiang Ruofu's heart was a little bigger, and she continued to ask,

"Maybe Shizi likes to be quieter?"

Wen Guqi didn't look up,

"It's good to be quiet."

As soon as she rejoiced, she heard him add,

"It's just that I don't like being a little child."

"I hate crying and crying the most, and I don't like to look up at people on weekdays."

Jiang Ruofu clenched his sleeves.

Wen Guqi still said casually,

"This kind of temperament is not suitable to sit in the position of the princess."

"If anyone you know looks like this, remove it from the book."

Jiang Ruofu replied with a smile.

The prince is tired of crying and crying, and he doesn't like to look up at people on weekdays.

But isn't she like this in front of the world on weekdays?

The more she was worried, the more careful she was, the more mistakes she made, and she cried so many times in front of him that she couldn't count how many times.

And from the beginning, she rarely looked up to meet the son.

Because I don't dare, because I'm afraid of falling deeper and deeper.

So when the prince saw her, she was either crying and crying, or she bowed her head and didn't look at people.

It turns out that the most disliked thing in the world is a woman like her.

The wisteria flowers were blown up by the night wind, and the curtain of flowers caressed the surface of the piano, playing a slight sound.

But many small flower spikes were hung by the strings.

Jiang Ruofu burst into tears in the night wind, in fact, she should have known and understood a long time ago.

There is no possibility for her and the son.

Even if there is no gap in status, the prince will not choose her.

Because what he dislikes the most is a woman like her.

Or, Shizi just deliberately said this in front of her, so that she broke off her delusions as soon as possible.

The funny thing is that since then, she has always tried her best to look up at Shizi and no longer dodge.

Now that I think about it, she is really a little ridiculous, the prince must have noticed her thoughts early, otherwise he would not have said that he regarded her as a sister for no reason, and he would not have said that he hated this kind of woman the most.

Refused over and over again, but unfortunately she didn't notice it at all.

She knew it was shameful and ridiculous.

But the memory flew in my mind over and over again, as if he crossed the street on horseback, and the scene of the street was still in front of him, the wind brought by the horse's hooves swept suddenly, there were horses flying dust, there were horsewhips thrown sharply, and people were noisy. There is Mingyang wild, nine Li Fan Chen.

And he never looked at her from beginning to end, but she abandoned her heart because of this.

From the very beginning, she looked up to him in the crowd, like the tiniest speck of dust looking up to the highest flowing clouds.

Now that she's close to the clouds, she's still just a speck of dust.

Whether it is the young lady of the Yunguo Mansion or the tenth princess, they are all bright and generous, and they complement him well.

Unlike her, she never dared to stand by his side openly.

She is like a mouse, hiding this affection like a stolen object, hiding in the shadows, not daring to expose this affection to the light of the sky.

———

A state and county in Qingzhou,

"I fought for such a plaque, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was actually given to the Li family who contributed the least! It's a waste of time for me to take in so many refugees. ”

"Brother Wang doesn't have to be angry, this Li family's plaque is really a bit strange."

"In other words, although the Li family has taken the plaque of the imperial court, they can't be the number one clan in the local area. In terms of the prestige of the Li family, where can it represent a state and county? What's more, his family has never had an official, so how can he afford the name of the largest local family. ”

"If you want me to say, the plaque of the county master is too confused, no matter how you say it, our brother Liu has done the best, not only to collect refugees, but also to find refugees, and to spend a lot of money to buy a house to resettle those refugees, this is a big loss, in vain Brother Liu's hard work and kindness."

The man surnamed Liu who was named had a sad face, and he had no heart to participate in their complaints.

"You say, could it be that the county master took the Li family's money?"

"Shut up, you can't talk nonsense!"

"But if you think about it carefully, how many refugees did the Li family take? Zuo is only one-tenth of all of us here, and it makes more sense to give this plaque to anyone here than to give it to the Li family. ”

"That's true, but we have no evidence, how can we know if the county master has received money from the Li family?"

"Alas, it's really ridiculous, in vain for us and others in the human race to prosper, there are talented people in the family, and there is enough prestige in the local area, but in the end they lost to a fledgling small family, the name of the largest local clan, even if you don't want it."

"That is, if this local No. 1 clan is his Li family, then I don't recognize it."

"I heard that it was made by an internal history in the imperial court, so that we, the local squires and wealthy families, could accommodate refugees, and whoever received more will be awarded the plaque to whomever the imperial court will award, which means that it is the largest local family, but this internal history is really lacking in virtue, so why did he transfer all these people to the imperial history."

"Now, the officials don't have the imperial history to watch, they can do whatever they want, and the county lord must have received the money from the Li family, so he awarded this plaque to the Li family."

"How ridiculous, we didn't have less strength, and we didn't spend less money, in the end, this Li family spent the money on the blade, and the county master was subdued, and this plaque easily came to his family, and we have been running for more than a month, and there is no one who can only contain a dozen unnamed small clans."

"This internal history is really lacking in virtue, this money really doesn't need to be issued by the court, but this is all let us out, in the end, the money and material resources have been spent, we can't get anything, you say this is not a big loss?"

"This trick is really yin, first this internal historian put forward this idea, and then persuaded the queen mother to transfer the imperial history away, and now the imperial history is gone, and this magistrate will fill his pocket."

"Maybe the county magistrate took this money, and he still has to pay a part of the filial piety to this internal history, what is the protection of officials and officials? It's just that the two mouths are connected together, and they have to eat together when they open their mouths, so don't you have to take it together if you have money? ”

"Corrupt officials! It's really a shame that my Jokhang Dynasty has such a bad official. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I was admitted to the examination in one step back then, I am afraid that this dog officer is still my colleague now, fortunately, I didn't get in, so I don't have to go to that filthy place and be contaminated with turbidity."

"Now we not only wasted manpower and material resources, but also didn't get the plaque in the end, but even if I didn't get it, if it was fair competition, I would have admitted it, but this is just a ghost inside, so how can I swallow this breath."

"Those refugees are still living in my house, eating me, wearing me, using me, I'm afraid they won't be able to get rid of me."

"What are you afraid of, since the court is doing such a desperate job, then we don't need to show mercy to our subordinates, how to drive them back, if you don't leave, you will be beaten out with a stick, I don't believe it, the court can really sit idly by."

"If the imperial court really sits idly by, then these refugees must be driven out as soon as possible, so as not to eat and drink for nothing, and put them at home to make themselves angry."
