Chapter Seventy-One: Ambition
Yuan Ying swallowed her mouthful and took another sip of tea, and when she talked about the Xiao family, she remembered a bad thing by the way. That was still Song Yansheng's design when he left Beijing, and after the Huayuelou case, he used Liu's confession to counterattack Xiao Changying with the help of the aunt of the Xiao family. Although Yuan Ying mentioned it in her letter, it still depends on the details.
Yuan Ying was so angry that she gritted her teeth when she mentioned this: "It's a good game, originally that aunt took the situation and went to Jingzhao Mansion, but as soon as she entered with her front foot, Xiao Changying came with her back foot." Isn't that an internal response? ”
Song Yansheng bit the soft glutinous rice cake, and said unhurriedly: "Xiao Changying has been working hard in Beijing for so long, where can there be no internal response?" Even in Jingzhao Mansion is not unusual. ”
"I originally thought that this aunt could have some skills and let me see a good show, but I didn't wait for her to get rid of Xiao Changying, but I lost my life."
Xiao Changying is the most ruthless, someone knows her secret and blocks her way, do you think she can still rest assured that people will live. It's not strange to kill one or two people in Xiao Mansion, and an aunt is not a matter to her, even Xiao Erye in the Huayue Tower's game, whether she has a life left or not depends on whether she wants to or not.
Song Yansheng shook his head and said, "It's my miscalculation, this aunt is too anxious, but she fell in love with her way." ”
Yuan Ying also sighed: "This Xiao Changying is really ruthless, the aunt of the same house, a human life, if you say no, there will be no more." ”
"I heard that Jingzhao Mansion Yin has changed someone?"
"The original one, I went back to my hometown." Yuan Ying pursed her lips, "It's like running away." ”
Since ancient times, this Jingzhao Mansion Yin is not easy to do, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will offend the magnates of Beijing, if the two families have a dispute, it is even more difficult to be a person inside and outside if they are caught in the middle. Jingguan'er, who has been up for so long, is not a human spirit?
Song Yansheng lowered his eyelashes and thought for a while, "Don't you have to escape, at his age, he is most afraid of trouble." Xiao Changying and Duan Hong are the same dog, I guess Duan Hong must have put pressure on him. ”
"These dog officers!"
"But this thing...... It doesn't end there. She looked at Yuan Ying and curled her lips slightly, "There is not only one copy of the paper. Xiao Changying, don't be mistaken. ”
"Even if she can replace Jing Zhaoyin, she can't replace the fact that she murdered her brother-in-law. If you don't go to Jing Zhaoyin, there are still Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but not every institution has been covered by them. ”
Yuan Ying looked down, "Are you going to fight them?" ”
"It's not pleasing to the Xiao family for a long time." Song Yansheng joked and said, "Just like you said, today in Beijing, Xiao Changying gave me and the Song family a stumbling block, and when I went to other places tomorrow, her brother Xiao Changyuan also made me a stumbling block to kill me." I am the most fearful person, and then there is the third son of the emperor behind them. Since I couldn't warn and tore my face again, why didn't my Song family fight back. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If they hurt me in the slightest, I will pay back tenfold. ”
Yuan Ying laughed, "It's really courageous!" Little Liu, I'm on your side. I know you at all times. ”
Song Yansheng also learned from her to hug her fists, "Thank you, little county lord." ”
"It's good to talk about it, what is our relationship, you're polite to me." Yuan Ying smiled and pressed her hand, and her eyes turned to say, "Your smiling expression just now really looks like my cousin." ”
"Is there one?" Duan Xun's eyes are often hidden scrutiny with a smile when he looks at people, and his phoenix eyes are tall enough to dominate people. For people who don't matter, he doesn't bother to put any expressions. As for what Yuan Ying said about smiling or not laughing, Duan Xun often has this kind of playful temptation and scrutiny. Perhaps, he learned it unconsciously after getting along for a long time.
"Let me tell you, since you went down to Jiangnan, his temper has become more and more eccentric, and when he sees that I am not pleasing to the eye, he is bumped into in my house, and I have to stay away from him."
"One time it was even more excessive, looking at me with that kind of regretful eyes, and letting me learn from other people's sisters."
"Poofhahahaha." This time, Song Yan couldn't stop his voice, "Did he really say that?" ”
"Can there be a fake?" Yuan Ying raised her head and looked at her resentfully, "I think about it, I think he misses you." There are no other people's sisters around me, and there are only six girls from Song Sangongzi's family. ”
"He misses me? I guess no one is playing with it, so I'm panicking. Song Yansheng couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"Hey, your actions now are the same as when he did to me."
“……”
Song Yansheng imagined that there was such a cousin or brother, and couldn't help but rub his arm a few times, and laughed twice, "Next time, you can go back." ”
Yuan Ying snorted from his nose and replied, "When he returns to Beijing, I'll take a good look at it." ”
But when it came to this stubble, Song Yansheng remembered Shen Fangzhi. Her cousin is a delicate person, but unfortunately his body is not good. The few cold poisons that appeared in the Pingning Hou Mansion, if she was not mistaken, Xiao Changying had a good chance. First, she is the third son of the emperor, and she is in Beijing, so it is best to start. Second, she is very good at secretly planting nails in various families, as was the case in previous lives, so as to obtain a rapid and huge information network.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Xiao family will definitely make a move in the near future. Now that I've returned to Beijing, her eyes must have been staring. ”
"Xiao Changying......" Yuan Ying sneered, "This third girl, even I can see her ambition." In the past few days since you left Beijing, she has been at ease on her face, but she doesn't know what to do behind her back. ”
"Several gentlemen in the school palace have praised her, she has earned enough fame in front of others, and she has made so much effort, can she not enter the court and become an official?"
It has been a few days since she entered Beijing, and she is not unaware of Xiao Changying's activity in poetry, after all, the "No. 1 talented woman in Beijing" has already been confirmed. Song Yansheng held the teacup, chuckled lowly, and asked rhetorically, "Even if she wants to, why not?" ”
"How is this possible?" Yuan Ying smiled, "This court is a man's world, how can there be a reason for a woman to be among them?" ”
"It's not that it's nothing, it's just a few. According to Dacheng's official system, there are indeed positions of female officials, mostly celebrant positions, which are closely related to the harem. To say that there is indeed an exception, there was a real power in the previous dynasty, and it was also a time for him to be in charge of the palace system. ”
"Does she want to be the second in the system?" Yuan Ying smacked her tongue, "How can it be so easy?" Dealing with a group of treacherous and cunning old foxes in the court is not just a matter of reciting a few lines of poetry. ”
"The front court and the harem are closely related, don't forget, she also has a big backer in the back court. As long as this backer does not fall for a day, then she has a chance to turn the impossible into a possibility. ”
With Xiao Changying's scheming and ambition...... Don't you think she's more suitable for this place? When it comes to means, she is not inferior to those people. ”
Song Yansheng scraped a few tea stems on the cup, "Think about it again, her ambition may be more than that, what she wants will only increase." ”
In her previous life, Xiao Changying climbed all the way from the humble stepdaughter of Jiangmen to the third princess, and then climbed all the way to the queen supreme. What she wants is always clear and clear, and she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. The Song family in her previous life was like this, and the imperial concubine of the Yuan family was also like this, and they all became paving stones under her feet.
Is that location really that attractive? Song Yansheng never felt how comfortable it was to sit on the high place. With such a high position, he is really alone. In the face of endless calculations and turbulent undercurrents, it is the fate of the whole country that is shouldered.
But the third son of the emperor and Xiao Changying, who are vicious and vicious, sit in that position, do they have this awareness.
It can well be imagined.
Song Yansheng and Yuan Ying glanced at each other, and their eyes were both hard. jokes, they can still go down this way, and if they really get to that point, then the two of them will be the first to be eliminated from the knife.
"The Yuan family has a deep foundation, and the justice of the town and country is in its prime, but the Xiao family is strong, and it all depends on the support of Old Man Xiao. Looking at the three princes and the party, in addition to the Xiao family, there are also strong generals with military power? ”
"He didn't, so he's in a hurry." Yuan Ying's eyes were cold, "If he dares to touch my family, I will fight them to the end." Even if you have this thought, you have to swallow it back for me! ”
"Lin'an Mansion disaster relief, Jiangnan salt case...... Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of Beijing Gate is going south, some tentacles in Beijing can be pruned and pruned. Song Yansheng lazily held the teacup and squinted his eyes slightly.
Yuan Ying stayed at her house for the night, and the next day she took her entourage and drove back to Licui Mountain outside Beijing. After a little snow, a little and a half months passed, and the winter break of the Minyang School Palace began. Song Meiheng was idle, so she took her sister to the study to learn calligraphy. Although Song Yansheng wrote according to the method taught by his grandfather, this pen posture is a clever way after all, and he still has to return to orthodoxy. Song Yansheng held the pen for most of the day, and stopped writing dizzily.
Looking at Song Meiheng, he was sitting by the window reading the letter, and when he saw her looking over, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's the letter from His Royal Highness the Sixth." ”
"The letter arrived late, and my uncle had already arrived. In addition, my uncle was also saved. ”
The first news Song Yansheng had heard from Shen Fangzhi earlier, but the second news really made a big stone fall to the ground in her heart.
"How did you save it?"
Song Meiheng gave her the letter and went to the side to get a cup of tea.
The letter did not elaborate. I suspect there are only two possibilities, one is to show goodwill, and the uncle has arrived anyway. The other, and more likely, is presumably to have made some kind of deal. ”
"You mean, change?" Song Yansheng read the letter, it was Duan Xun's abbreviated style as always, her eyebrows frowned, "What can I use to get it back from those merchants?" ”
The big salt merchants in Yangzhou have long hated Song Zhi, who is not good at oil and salt, and they also hate him for having evidence of corruption and bribery - okay, you didn't give us a way to get rich when you were in office, and you still want to expose our case record? When we are bullies, we will kill you in minutes. There is nothing more than a dog jumping off the wall. Besides, these people have always depended on the interests of the third son of the emperor and obeyed him.
