Chapter 106: Octopus
Han Yanqing, the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, was widowed at a young age after the Gu family gave birth to a pair of children. At that time, she did not choose to remarry, but stayed to raise a pair of children waiting to be fed, and what she achieved was actually just a chaste archway.
Gu Ping treated this daughter-in-law very well. He also doesn't have a wife, and he can be regarded as dependent on his daughter-in-law, raising a total of four brothers and sisters together.
Lin Qiantan knew about the fact that there were two other young masters in the Gu family. But those two were too nameless. In the entire Gu family, only Gu Sanlang, Gu Xiaowei and the only daughter Gu Qingxuan are the most well-known.
When Han Yanqing saw the daughter of the deceased, he didn't have much joy, but instead showed disgust. Lin Qiantan is accustomed to it, this is an old grudge from her mother when she was young, and she is just disgusted with the house.
Originally, she was going to marry Lin Quan, the third master of the Lin family, but it should be the daughter of the Han family, or the Lin family turned their backs on the marriage and forcibly remarried Chu Ling on the grounds that Han Yanqing's eight characters were ominous.
And Han Yanqing originally "killed" her first fiancé, and her husband also died by coincidence after passing the Gu family's door, which confirmed her statement that her life was too hard.
When she was young, she said to her father-in-law Gu Ping: "It's hard for a person like me not to be disgusted by my father, so he didn't drive me out of the Gu family." My mother's family is also willing to help me take care of the marriage. But I don't have the face to go back. I was born as a Gu family, and died as a ghost of the Gu family......"
Lin Qiantan also heard about these things back then, and Han Yanqing counted the account on her mother's head. However, this did not prevent Lin Qiantan from thinking of recruiting Han Yanqing, an elder, for her own use.
In fact, there are still many people in the Han family, and Han Yanqing really can't be said to be down-and-out and has no support. However, she is still dressed up all year round and has no life. It wasn't supposed to be this way.
Similar to the situation of Miss Wang Jiasi, there is no other place to sustenance in life, but Han Yanqing concentrates on studying medical Taoism. The four brothers and sisters of the Gu family have been seriously ill since childhood, and they don't even need to go out to find a doctor, just look for her.
Perhaps it was also influenced by her that Gu Ping would affirm women's talents more and more in the future.
In this world, women don't let too many women with eyebrows, but they are just hindered by etiquette and law, and they don't have the opportunity to show their talents.
Lin Qiantan was looking at Han Yanqing, but Han Yanqing was not looking at her.
Han Yanqing took care of her father-in-law as her father, Gu Ping was not young after all, and she sat in the pavilion with Lin Qiantan and played chess for a long time, she was worried that her father-in-law would catch a cold.
There was this one who looked at her with displeasure on her face, Lin Qiantan didn't stay long, Gu Qingxuan sent Lin Qiantan out with a little embarrassment, and Lin Qiantan asked the teacher about her recent health.
Gu Qingxuan smiled: "Mother has always been like this, don't take it to heart." She cares most about her family. Especially my grandfather, as you know, there have always been some old problems in the past two years, so don't blame her for being nervous. ”
Lin Qiantan smiled, didn't say much, got into the carriage and walked back.
Gu Qingxuan looked at the door for a while before going to the house. There are some things that she keeps in her heart and doesn't plan to say for the rest of her life.
The road outside was still wet.
The military situation in the north is probably spreading in the capital one after another, and the taverns that were lively a few days ago are now even more lively, but it is not about how powerful the emperor is, but how the turmoil outside is.
The capital is a gentle township, and things from the outside cannot be transmitted, so for most people in the capital, the northern "uprising" is the first time since the establishment of the Great Shang. The news is accurate, and even the imperial court does not deny it.
The movement there was so big that it was too late for the imperial court to block the news. The one who led the people to chaos still has a lot of background, and he is also playing the banner of restoring the Xia Dynasty.
Emperor Tianlong was also invincible with two fists and four hands, so he went out to fight and fell into a passive situation. Gu Ping told Lin Qiantan that the rebellious army was prepared, and by surprise, most of the army's grain and grass were even robbed, and Emperor Tianlong also urgently dispatched people to the vicinity to collect grain and grass.
And the people of Rong are more like they are prepared, from the beginning of the civil strife in the Great Shang Dynasty, they have cooperated with the attack from both sides. Many people with bright hearts see it in their eyes and can't help but think about it.
Wang Yuanzhao was in the army, Lin Qiantan couldn't help but worry about his situation, as if he knew that Lin Qiantan would be worried, he specially asked someone to send back a letter from the north of the messy porridge to report safety.
The letter was sent to Lin Qiantan by Wang Pu in person, and Lin Qiantan had met him two or three times because of Wang Yuanzhao.
When Wang Yuanzhao talked about the situation in the north, he was all talking about how the emperor was once in danger. After Wang Pu finished delivering the letter here, he went to another place.
Lin Qiantan had already told Wang Yuanzhao that he had never blindly taken risks in the face of danger, and in the messy situation, not only did he have nothing to do, but he also made a few achievements, and at the same time had the heart to write a long letter back.
Lin Qiantan weighed the letter in her hand that was so thick that it had a texture, and said in her heart: "It seems that this person is very idle." In the midst of the rebellion, there are still so many words written.
Wang Pu laughed when he heard this: "He is not idle, but he was born an octopus." Wang Puke has seen his efficiency.
When the people are in turmoil, there are loopholes in the places under the control of the imperial court that can be exploited. What kind of chaos the merchants are can also be seen. While dealing with the chaotic people, Wang Yuanzhao dealt with the army up and down, wrote a letter to Lin Qiantan, and roasted a chicken called Hua by the way. Lin Qiantan seemed to be able to smell a strange smell of meat on the letter he sent back.
These are the materials that Lin Qiantan needs, Wang Yuanzhao is very attentive, and as if he thinks that those materials are very scattered, he personally sorted them out before sending the book. It's just that he couldn't help but accidentally dip a piece of the cooked chicken thigh meat into an inconspicuous place on the letterhead, so that Lin Qiantan could see what the person who wrote the letter was doing at that time.
Lin Qiantan was amused, and smelled the letter paper that had already volatilized, and the corners of her lips hooked. After talking to Wang Pu for a while, he sent Wang Pu out.
Wang Yuanzhao was as busy as a spinning top, and Lin Qiantan was not idle.
Although Emperor Tianlong took away the Yin Ren father and son, the court was not without them. Although they are not there, they can still remotely control the center and interfere with Gu Ping. Sending the letter back is not Wang Yuanzhao's patent.
Yin tenacity is not there, Gu Ping is fighting against the forces under his name, and he is not the one who can't fight back. The Yin family and the Wei family have cooperated to a certain extent, and Gu Ping's work is not easy.
The vacant official positions in the DPRK and China were divided by many forces, among which the Saga group was divided into most of them, and although the official positions obtained by the newly recruited children of the poor families also occupied a certain proportion, the gold content was not very high.
It seems that Lin Dong is one of these who has been suppressed. With the Dongshan Hou Mansion as the backstage, he tortured sinners in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and no matter how he left some handles such as grass and human life.
It's time for someone to poke these out, and almost told him that he didn't get the position of Dali Siqing, not to mention, and lost his original position.
The one who attacked him was also a member of the Wei family,
At this point, the power left by Yan Shao was basically filled. The once prominent Dongping County royal palace completely withdrew.
In this pancake carving, in general, the family occupies a greater advantage.
The Chu family's position in this kind of place is more subtle.
The position taken by the Chu family is different from that of others, impartial, and the two do not help each other, which has the meaning of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
Chu Yan, Chu Jiang, father and son, usually do what they should do, let the other ministers outside get into a mess, as if it is none of their business.
Chu Jiang didn't say anything, he was busy with the affairs of the military department. He is proud of the spring breeze and wants to make some achievements. But Chu Yan, the idle Taishi, did not intend to take this opportunity to seek some real power for himself.
However, with such an attitude of the Chu family, no one would be unable to get along with the Chu family.
The Chu family is scarce, and the descendants are even more withered, and the children of the side branches are also eyeing the inheritance of the head of the family, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, and it is reasonable that they have no effort to participate in the seizure of power.
The rain in the sky came and went. On this day, Lin Qiantan took a recliner and rested it at the door of her room as usual, facing the rain outside and watching the sky change.
The two girls of the Chu family came in at this stall.
The girl put down the things sent by her uncle's family and left, Lin Qiantan ordered someone to open it and take a look, it was a special product sent from the south.
Chu gradually became a rich idler, Taoguang was obscure, and there was no longer the Dongping County Mansion to drag him back, and his life was comfortable. He got to know a few southern maritime merchants. The things made by those yellow-haired and blue-eyed businessmen overseas are naturally different from those of the Central Plains. Lin Qiantan's store is actually already selling.
Chu Jiang is different from his father.
Chu Jiang is young, ambitious, and unwilling to rely on his family background to become famous, and wants to get rid of the influence of Chu's reputation on him. Especially after sitting in a certain position, he is even more eager to prove his own ability.
Lin Qiantan saw that he was very busy a lot of the time.
Along with the specialties from the south, there are also locally-style zongzi sent by Chu Qiao from the eastern capital.
Lin Qiantan distributed the zongzi sent by her aunt to several elders in the family, and there was not much left, except for one she ate, she gave it to the girls.
A group of girls got one by one, and even Mama Gou took one that seemed to be crushed at the bottom and squashed.
Chu Qiao wrote a letter, shouting that he wanted to come to the capital to have a look, but he was always unavailable.
Lin Qiantan put down her aunt's letter and picked up Wang Yuanzhao's letter to read.
In addition to appealing the business situation in the north, Wang Yuanzhao also said another thing.
Mama Gou took her share of the zongzi and went out with a thousand thanks, while Lin Qiantan took advantage of her absence to order people to send a letter to Concubine Xiao and the Gu family in the palace.
Princess Jinhua was in the north and became a hostage in the hands of the Rong people.
King Rong took her in his hand, whether he grabbed her, or lost it, he was in a dilemma.
Emperor Tianlong was trapped in a situation of being attacked from two sides, and it was only temporary. Wang Yuanzhao said that the emperor who had been fighting for half his life had gradually withdrawn his hand from the civil unrest. Although it is destined to be unable to win the battle if it loses the opportunity, the Celestial Empire has a numerical advantage after all.
It was only a matter of time before the reinforcements sent by Gu Ping arrived to relieve the siege, and the pressure on the Rong people was not small at that time.
At that time, I am afraid that Princess Jinhua will be pushed out as a hostage. Although Emperor Tianlong doesn't care about his daughter's life and death, he also cares about his reputation.
However, Lin Qiantan felt that it was a bit strange that Emperor Tianlong was surrounded by two sides this time.
Lin Qiantan remembered that in her previous life, such a thing was not so serious that even the emperor's grain and grass were hijacked. Although Emperor Tianlong also suffered defeat at that time, he was not as embarrassed as he is now.
However, since her rebirth, some trajectories have indeed changed, and it is not surprising that there have been some deviations.
The rainy weather was not too hot, and the Shen family's body was much better. Every time Lin Qiantan went to visit her, her body was obviously better.
Seeing her like this, the people of the Lin family also breathed a sigh of relief.
It had rained, and the road in the house was also slippery, and on this day, Lin Qiantan went to the Shen family along the road in the house, and happened to meet someone in the second room on the road.
The people in the second room seemed to have visited the Shen family in the past, but they happened to do it all the way.
Lin Zirong seems to be aware of the private transaction between his father and Lin Qiantan. But unlike them, Lin Zirong's attitude looked a little cold.
Lin Zirong is a first-class weird person in the Dongshan Hou Mansion, which Lin Qiantan has learned, Lin Zirong is different from his father, and even more cold than his father.
But since we met, we always have to go together.
It can also be seen from here that the Shen family's status in this family. Lin Zirong doesn't care about his brothers and sisters, but he only respects his grandmother.
The two went to Shen's place together to take a look at Shen's, Shen's seemed to be in good spirits, Lin Zirong still had schoolwork, and left after sitting for a while, while Lin Qiantan stayed to talk to his grandmother.
After all, Shen was old, and when he was talking, his eyes were unconsciously closed, and he was pretending to sleep there. Lin Qiantan didn't wake her up, but retreated and went outside.
is also a grandfather and grandmother, but Lin Yangde's reputation is far inferior to that of his wife. Lin Yangde, the grandfather, is more subordinate to his children and grandchildren than to his subordinates, and everyone doesn't like his style of doing things very much in their hearts.
Lin Qiantan asked him to twist his waist, and as soon as he got up, he walked around vigorously. Shen was still lying in bed, so he brought a concubine back to the family.
Everyone who respected the Shen family was very dissatisfied with this. The Shen family didn't say anything themselves, but the Lin brothers were not happy.
Shen and her husband have been gone all their lives, can you still not know what kind of temper he has? There are some things that she is used to.
A young lady like Shen, who was originally from everyone, is actually a little arrogant in her heart. Although obediently and with her husband and Kazumi for a lifetime. But to be honest, marrying a man, dressing and eating, Lin Qiantan felt that her grandmother may have never had any love-like feelings for her grandfather.
Lin Dong, Lin Quan and the others suddenly had a little aunt who was only a teenager on top of their heads. The little aunt is charming, Lin Yangde is greedy and can't chew it, and her old waist, which has been rectified by Lin Qiantan, is even more injured.
There is such a person in the house, and it really has no impact on Lin Qiantan. However, Lin Qiantan knew that this aunt had some origins.
The little girl is good-looking, and she looks smart, and she looks like a plaything given to him by Lin Yangde's old friend for his pastime, but in fact, she is a side branch of the Xia Dynasty royal bloodline.
There are some things that the little girl doesn't say herself, and of course Lin Qiantan has no way of knowing. But it's strange that Lin Qiantan had seen her in her previous life. This little girl in her previous life was later exposed.
The Great Shang Dynasty was established, and the people who were looking for the Xia Dynasty in their hearts never stopped. The little girl is insignificant, and she has not played a big role in the restoration conspiracy of the Xia Dynasty in her past and present lives.
The existence of the little girl is just a proof that the soul of the Xia Dynasty has not dissipated.
Lin Dong and Lin Quan will always take the same position on this kind of thing, and Lin Yangde also knows that an old man still needs a teenage girl to serve, but in fact, his face is also ashamed.
However, the diamond diamond can't resist the finger wrapping, and the little girl entered the Lin family with a task. I don't dislike the old man in my heart, but I don't like it, but at least my performance in bed is still excellent.
However, she entered the Lin family at the time when Emperor Tianlong was fighting outside, and the timing was indeed a little delicate.
Emperor Tianlong ordered people to build the "History of Xia", which may be a fuse for the internal and external movements here.
If the Shang dynasty wanted to confirm the legitimacy of its rule, it needed to crack down on the Xia dynasty's popular prestige. When the emperor was first, the imperial court did not dare to move too much. In the hands of Emperor Tianlong, that action is much bigger.
In the official history books of the Xia Dynasty compiled by the imperial court, the evaluation of the Xia Dynasty is not high.
Many of these derogatory writings inevitably step on the already fragile nerves of some people.
The person who was fighting with Emperor Tianlong in the north might be an example.
There is such a little girl in the Dongshan Hou Mansion, so there should be other families too.
Lin Qiantan inquired casually, and she could also know that Lin Yangde went to an old friend party a few days ago, and at the party, people from the same generation were all there. This little girl was actually given by Wang Qun.
Wang Qun is the old prince of the Yan State Mansion, and in fact, he is still Wang Yuanzhao's grandfather.
Lin Qiantan couldn't help but wonder if this was intentional or unintentional.
*
Wang Qun is very different from his emotionally dedicated son Wang Shanya, and also has the same problems as most successful men. There's never a shortage of women in the backyard.
It's better to say that Wang Qun feels that Wang Shanya is like a genetic mutation, not to mention that the backyard is clean, and even, there is only Zhang Yingru as a woman for most of her life. The reason why it is a little involved with Xia Sanniang is that there are still some reasons in it. His children, except for Wang Yuanzhao, all crawled out of Zhang Yingru's belly.
On this day, there was another torrential rain in the afternoon, and Wang Shanya didn't know if it was a cold, so she suddenly sneezed out of thin air. He was painting a portrait of his wife in his study, but he was shaken by his hand, and the whole picture was destroyed.
It also took a lot of effort for him to coax Zhang Yingru to be willing to reconcile with him, and he was thinking about painting the painting for his wife to tease and tease again. Who knew suddenly a sneeze......
Coincidentally, Zhang Yingru also happened to come in with a cup of ginseng soup, and happened to see Wang Shanya accidentally swiped over and got a stain on her face that couldn't be changed.
She wasn't angry, she wasn't laughing.
Wang Shanya felt embarrassed as if she had been caught red-handed. The young man's demeanor that subconsciously leaked out was just like when Zhang Yingru first met Wang Shanya twenty years ago.
What was Wang Shanya doing at that time?
By the way, he was fighting with a group of gentlemen in the capital at that time. There is now Guangningbo, as well as the ...... of the Wangfu family of Zhongyi County
It's all old acquaintances.
At that time, the Ruyi Langjun in her heart should be the son of the Chu family or the Wei family, for example, Chu Yan. Of course, I don't look down on a group of ladled boys who are half naked in the public and think they are famous and romantic.
Who knows later......
Now let's look at Wang Shanya, she has an elegant temperament and good-looking facial features, especially those eyes, which are black and bright, which makes it difficult to associate him with the gangsters.
When Wang Shanya saw her arrival, she smiled lightly and said, "Madam is here."
Zhang Yingru is like a child who finally said an apology, and the child who did something wrong, once he went down the steps, felt from the bottom of his heart that he had really done something wrong.
No, it's time to make amends.
They reconciled like ever, and the brothers and sisters of the Wang family were of course relieved.
Zhang Yingru has just returned from Zhang's house, of course Wang Shanya wants to ask her brother-in-law how she is.
Zheng Guogong's mansion got on the wrong boat, and now his life is miserable. As a younger sister, Zhang Yingru had to secretly help from time to time.
"What else, just like that, the courtyard is cool." When Zhang Yingru talked about her family, she looked cold.
Speaking of which, the silver given to the Zhang family was given to her by Wang Shanya.
Thinking so, Mama is right. has such a good husband, and I don't know what she was trying to do before!
There was an accident in Zheng Guogong's mansion, and the family was unlucky with Zhang Luyuan. In terms of money, Zhang Yingru can still support one or two, and there is really nothing else to do.
What Wang Shanya secretly did for her uncle was more than just giving money.
Zhang Yingru just happened to think that she had met green jade in the door of Zheng Guogong's mansion. Specifically for Lin Qiantan, he opened a topic and said: "...... Thanks to the young lady of the Lin family, she still dares to associate with Yan'er at this time, that kid is a good one. ”
When Wang Shanya heard this, she paused slightly, and what she thought of was the incident when she was assassinated in the paddock, and echoed from her heart: "Indeed."
Green Jade is Lin Qiantan's maid, and both husband and wife know it.
How can Zhang Luyuan regret it in his heart, that is another matter, Zhang Yingru thought of the scene when he went home, and said: "Alas, right now, His Majesty is not in Beijing, I can still go from time to time, and when His Majesty comes back, it is not good to be too blatant."
Emperor Tianlong hung the Zhang family, still looking at the face of King Qi's gold medal arrow. The gold medal order arrow is to save his life, but he didn't say that he would not dismiss the official or win the knighthood. The Zhang family is just a nominal Guogong Mansion, and the shell has long been empty.
Together, the marriage of the juniors in the house has also been affected. Zhang Yingru heard a few days ago that her nephew's marriage, which was only one step away, could not continue in the end and was stirred up.
