Chapter 131 - Household Transfer
Yan Xuping withdrew from the small house, and sat down at the table to ponder.
It was a little cold in the house, and he used a low-class charcoal fire in his yard, and there would be a trace of smoke coming out, so he could only put it on the edge of the windowsill, and let the window leak a small opening, so that the room could be warmer and not choked by the smoke.
His treatment in the mansion is not as good as that of his subordinates.
Ji Yanning treated him very well, because he saw the birthmark on his arm, he could have escaped that day, but when he saw a few girls standing at the intersection, he didn't rush out, but he didn't expect her to rush over by herself, and the first thing was to confirm the birthmark on his arm.
Because everyone else thought he was a fool, no one guarded him, and it also let him know that Ji Yanning, who looked a few years younger than him, was not simple.
At first, he was still wary, but then he thought that he had nothing to plan for, but he was relieved.
What's more, Ji Yanning's eyes looking at him were sincere and wanted to be good for him.
It's really nice to be cared for, maybe because he never gets it, but he cherishes it extraordinarily.
Chang'an for the New Year is lively, and it will be even more lively after the New Year, such as the case of the household department being investigated.
Yuan Jiaojiao was very happy, after all, she had already gotten the news from Ji Yanning, saying that the Hubu Shangshu Mansion was going to be seized soon, and she patronized it a few more times during the Chinese New Year, stole a lot of valuable things, and even left clues for the confiscated official mansion, so that they could find the place where the Hubu Shangshu hid gold, silver and jewelry.
Seeing her like this, Ji Yanning couldn't help but say, "You are more restrained, knowing that Duan Wuflaw is suspicious of you, you must not let him hold you." β
Yuan Jiaojiao smiled: "Don't worry, I'm extra careful, not to mention that now that Shangshu Mansion has been raided, they can't file a case without the bitter master." β
Ji Yanning said: "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, I don't think that flawless will let you go easily." β
"Don't mention him, I'll be angry when I mention him. Yuan Jiaojiao snorted lightly and looked out the window.
It was a coincidence that she happened to see Duan Wufang again, and she was almost choked.
The two of them chose a good private room in the private room of the teahouse, and when they looked down, they could see the situation on the street next to them.
Yuan Jiaojiao turned around again with interest and didn't look at him, sighed lightly, got up and said to Ji Yanning, "Let's go." β
Ji Yanning chuckled, but didn't say anything.
The two of them walked out of the private room and were about to go downstairs, but as soon as they walked down the stairs, they met Murong Hao.
Yuan Jiaojiao was slightly stunned, then came back to her senses, and pulled Ji Yanning to bypass by.
Murong Hao stopped her: "Jiaojiao, I'm my brother." β
Yuan Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, and her tone was cold: "I'm sorry, I have nothing to do with Murong Mansion anymore, and I don't have any brother." β
At the beginning, she and Mrs. Murong made it very clear that she would exchange Murong Yixue for her freedom, and she would have nothing to do with Murong Mansion from now on.
Murong Hao looked at her and said, "It was my mother's decision that I made without permission, and neither my father nor I knew about it. β
"What if you don't know?" Yuan Jiaojiao still had a cold face and said, "It's a foregone conclusion." β
If his father and brother objected, why didn't he come to explain to her after knowing about it, and why did he let Murong Yixue stay in Chang'an by default?
Are they like this, can they be fooled without knowing it?
Murong Hao looked at his sister's cold attitude towards him, and said, "If you have any needs or difficulties in the future, just come to me." β
Yuan Jiaojiao said firmly: "There won't be that day." β
She stopped Ji Yanning's hand and continued to walk down, without continuing to look at Murong Hao.
Ji Yanning was inconvenient to mix, so he went downstairs with her.
Although Ji Yanning also hopes that their family will not be like this, she can also understand that Yuan Jiaojiao looks like a wide heart, but in fact, her heart is very sensitive, maybe it is the shadow of the year, or maybe it is the loneliness of wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, she is eager for family affection, but she can't accept such a care like charity.
She couldn't forgive Murong Yixue, but the Murong family would rather abandon her for Murong Yixue, although Yuan Jiaojiao didn't seem to be treated badly in the Yuan Mansion, but their attitude still hurt her.
Murong Hao looked at the back of his sister walking away, and felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Yuan Jiaojiao was unhappy, Ji Yanning said, "Why don't we go to the Yiyi Pavilion?"
Yuan Jiaojiao looked at Ji Yanning in surprise, she still remembered the disturbance that occurred last time she went to the Qinglou, could it be that Ji Yanning was addicted?
Ji Yanning coughed lightly and explained, "It's just to see a friend." β
In broad daylight, the two women went to the pavilion instead of men's clothes, but entered through the back door to find the flowers.
Since the last time Ji Yanning said that she would help Hua Yanyan win the Oiran, she had come twice again, so she was familiar with the road, and the two of them walked in with the veil.
"You're here!" Hua Duyan saw Ji Yanning with a worried look, but welcomed the two of them into her room and withdrew her little girl.
Seeing her like this, Ji Yanning asked, "What's wrong?"
Hua said with a smile: "The two people who were originally scheduled to play the qin for me were injured. β
Ji Yanning wasn't worried: "Anyway, we also planned that it would be me to play the piano and dance music for you, so it's okay for them to have some temporary changes." β
Hua Duyan is not as optimistic as her: "The rules of this competition are very clear, you can only bring one person with a soundtrack, my mother asked me to pick one more luthier to use in case of emergency, but I didn't expect that now both of them have accidents, isn't it enough to prove that someone wants to secretly stumble on me?"
Seeing her like this, Ji Yanning still had a faint look, and she said: "You desperately want to get the position of Oiran, why don't others?" So when they find that there are stronger opponents, they will naturally use some means. They are light on your co-workers, and if they are really jealous, I am afraid that even you will be calculated and injured. β
Hua Duyan gritted her teeth, obviously a little unconvinced, but she was in the Qinglou, and she saw a lot of such things, she naturally knew that what Ji Yanning said was true, and she had heard that one of the selected girls was injured, although it was not serious, but it also affected the preparation for the competition.
Yuan Jiaojiao listened to it on the side, just sighed twice, and said: "It's not easy to win the position of Oiran, let Yan Ning feed the other people poison that can't kill people, so that they can't play well on the day of the game." β
Ji Yanning glanced at her faintly: "It's hard for you to come up with such a bad idea." β
There are two days left before the general election, and I can only calm down when I spend all my face.
She said: "In order to reassure others, I can only find a poor piano master, and then I have to show that I am very dissatisfied and cannot practice at all." β
Ji Yanning nodded, this is a good way.
She said, "If you win the championship, I will send you poison, and when you go to the banquet, hide it in your fingernails, and when you toast it, you will be able to take revenge." β
Hua said with a full face: "Then if he is poisoned, won't I be able to implicate the other people in the Yi Yi Pavilion?"
"Rest assured, this attack will take time. Ji Yanning said, "I couldn't see it a few days ago, even if I wanted to, I couldn't rely on you, as long as you pretended that nothing had happened, and didn't say anything, who could still suspect you?"
When Hua Duan heard this, he felt that it was feasible and nodded: "Thank you." β
Ji Yanning said: "No thanks, he deserves to die." β
......
Ning Wei, the head of the household department, was removed from his post and raided the mansion, there were a lot of vacancies in the household department, and the position of the book alone made people hot, many people wanted to take some ways, but they never thought that the emperor would set the position of Cen Qingshan, the prefect of Jiangzhou, to fall back to Chang'an as the head of the household department on the second day.
Everyone was shocked, they didn't know that the emperor would suddenly come to this pen, but seeing that Cen Qingshan's political achievements were good, they couldn't find any reason to oppose it, so they just said that he was lucky and picked up a big bargain.
Some people don't think so.
Rong Qi listened to Rong Che's words and frowned slightly: "You mean, this matter is the handiwork of that Miss Ji?"
Rong Che defaults.
"How is this possible, she is just a girl's family, not to mention her young age, how can she get involved in the affairs of the court with her identity?"
Rong Qi didn't believe it a little, although Ji Yanning had some ability, but he would not be so powerful, he would overthrow the Hubu Shangshu, and even someone who could influence the emperor's order, but he was afraid that even the old ministers in the court might not be able to do such a trick.
Rong Che said indifferently: "But before that, she did send people to investigate the grain store, and quietly instigated the grain farmers, and even wrote a secret letter to Cen Qingshan. β
If one thing can be a coincidence, it adds up to too much coincidence to be believed.
If it weren't for the person he sent to secretly stare at Ji Yanning before, he wouldn't have thought that this was her means.
Before the Chinese New Year, the rapid rise in grain prices in Chang'an made the people fearful, causing a lot of problems, and soon after the New Year, because the previous grain prices were too high to sell, they suddenly fell below the bottom line before the household, and the household was impeached by the imperial history platform, and the people who didn't know where they came from took out the private letters of the household department to make evidence, which couldn't turn over.
Ning Wei was investigated quickly, and many old cases were turned out, and he collapsed within two days.
It's just a New Year, but this household seems to have had a lot of difficult days.
Hearing Rong Che say this, Rong Qi straightened up, pondered for a while, and said: "If this is the case, Miss Ji should really be a good means, but unfortunately she can't be recruited as a staff member." β
Rong Che's eyes flashed slightly, if Rong Qi knew that Ji Yanning wanted to murder the emperor, he was afraid that he would not say such naΓ―ve words.
"Why did she do this?" Rong Qi asked, "Does she have a personal vendetta with Ning Wei, or is she simply unaccustomed to the price of food in Chang'an?" No, maybe not, whether it is a personal vendetta or a grievance and wants to get angry, then there is no need for Buczen Qingshan's chess." β
