In the brightly lit hall, the gold bricks are covered with dark red woven gold carpets, and two bronze gilt long-billed cranes at the temple gate spit out elegant and noble ambergris.

The eunuch brought a brocade pestle, and Chen Yanqing only dared to sit on half of his body as a respectful expression. His back was straight, his face was solemn, his eyes were staring at the lotus leaf glass dripping, and his mind was already flying away.

Chen Yanqingguan worships the history of Governor Huai of Wupin, is the concubine of the old uncle of Changping Bofu, and is currently the cousin of Chen Wei, the uncle of Changping Bo, and the cousin of Princess Yong.

Lao Changping Bo is a romantic person with countless pets. However, his wife Jiao is a tiger girl, spicy and jealous, except for a son and a daughter under Jiao's knees, Lao Changping has no other heirs.

Mrs. Luo of Changping Bofu couldn't get used to Jiao's daughter-in-law, and disliked her ruthless and vicious, not what a virtuous woman should be. In order to suppress the Jiao family, Luo took over a distant niece of his mother's family.

Mrs. Luo's distant niece is Chen Yanqing's biological mother, Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo is beautiful and virtuous, can be good at poetry and painting, and also plays a good pipa, which is a beautiful and gentle interpretation flower.

Since Xiao Luo entered the mansion, he has been extremely favored by the old uncle. The old uncle even dismissed all the pets for the sake of this cousin, which shows Xiao Luo's beauty and scheming.

Jiao is a spicy girl who grew up in the wind and sand of the Northland, and she is good at dancing knives and guns, but she doesn't know anything about poetry.

Lao Chang Pingbo is a typical merry and talented man, although Jiao's flower and moon appearance, Lao Chang Pingbo thinks that she has nothing to show for herself, her stomach is empty, and Jiao's can't talk about it at all.

Jiao's temper is big, and Lao Chang Pingbo can only tolerate Jiao's when he is newly married, and after the freshness period, every time he quarrels with Jiao's, Lao Chang Pingbo will go to sleep with a concubine, and then cause a new round of quarrels with Jiao's.

Therefore, after the old uncle got the gentle explanation of Xiao Luo, he was like a treasure, and he spent the moon with Xiao Luo in front of Jiao's face, and he didn't take Jiao's in his eyes at all.

Jiao's wants to clean up Xiao Luo's, but Xiao Luo's is not one of those concubines who have no foundation, she is not only Mrs. Luo's concubine for her son, but also Mrs. Tai's maiden niece.

Therefore, although Jiao hated Xiao Luo in his heart, he had nothing to do with Xiao Luo, so he could only hate Xiao Luo in his heart.

Later, Xiao Luo gave birth to a concubine, and the three Jiao mothers and sons made Xiao Luo have no place to stand.

Since Xiao Luo entered the door, Lao Chang Pingbo has never entered Jiao's courtyard again.

Mrs. Luo spoke coldly to Jiao's family, Lao Changpingbo turned a blind eye to her, and the people in the house even praised her high and low, and even dared to deduct Jiao's and children's share!

Jiao's has been raised by his parents in the palm of his hand since he was a child, when did he suffer such a grievance.

The cold treatment of the subordinates made Jiao completely sober.

Although Jiao is arrogant, he is not stupid.

For the sake of a pair of children, Jiao could only soften her body and learn the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that she didn't like, suppress her temper to please her husband who was a stranger, and in order to please her mother-in-law Luo, Jiao even washed Luo's feet in person.

In this way, after being low and small for more than half a year, Jiao's finally won back the attention of her husband and mother-in-law and held the housekeeping power in her hands.

Although Jiao's can't sing and harmonize with Lao Changpingbo's poems and add fragrance to her red sleeves, she is very beautiful and willing to make a supple and tactful attitude.

On a rainy night, Jiao's family was dressed in a single coat, personally holding an ink umbrella with rain falling, waiting for the old Changping to go down.

It rained heavily that night, and half of Jiao's clothes were drenched, and the wet green silk was attached to his pale face, and under his clothes, the curves were exquisite, and there was a bit of pity and pity.

Where did Lao Chang Pingbo see Jiao's weak and docile appearance, and he went back to Jiao's room that night, even if Xiao Luo pretended to be sick, he didn't call him away.

Later, Jiao's became pregnant, and the old uncle would rather guard Jiao's every day than go to Xiao Luo's.

Xiao Luo watched that she had lost the favor of her old uncle, how willing she was, she had murderous intentions towards Jiao. took advantage of Jiao's childbirth and bought off the midwife, wanting to make Jiao's dystocia die.

Unexpectedly, Jiao's aunt was not worried about her niece, and when she heard that Jiao's birth, she rushed to Changping Bofu overnight with the midwife who was used in the house.

There is Jiao's aunt in the delivery room, and there is the midwife she brought, the midwife who was bought by Xiao Luo couldn't intervene at all, and because the midwife was weak-hearted, Jiao's aunt saw the clues.

After Jiao's daughter gave birth to her young daughter, Princess Yong, Jiao's aunt ordered someone to take down the midwife on the spot. The midwife couldn't survive the torture, and confessed the mastermind behind the scenes, Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo's murder of his mother's mother was caught by Jiao's mother's family, even if Mrs. Luo felt sorry for her niece and felt that there were still many doubts about this matter, and because of the pressure of the Jiao family, she could only give Xiao Luo medicine with tears.

Three years after Xiao Luo's death, Jiao's hand held the evidence that Changping Bo's favored concubine killed his wife and almost killed her, the wife of the main house, and showed off his power in Changping Bofu, disrespecting his husband and mother-in-law, and being arrogant even more arrogant than before.

Lao Chang Pingbo woke up like a dream, and recalled the good coming of Xiao Luo's cousin. It's a pity that the beauty has no soul, which only increases the sadness.

The old uncle felt ashamed of Xiao Luo's cousin, and never entered Jiao's courtyard again, nor did he accept any one-room concubine.

In order to compensate for his cousin who died early, Lao Chang Pingbo raised the concubine born to him and Xiao Luo under his knees, personally taught, and taught Yunwen Yunwu, who taught the concubine, to be better than his eldest son Chen Wei.

But Lao Changpingbo's wife, Jiao, is also not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Jiao's cousin who married into the clan successfully got in touch with the prince, and sent his eldest son Chen Wei into the palace to be a companion to the prince, and the young daughter married King Yong for the prince's plan.

Lao Changping was under pressure from the prince, afraid that his beloved son would follow in the footsteps of his biological mother, so he could only find a position for his beloved son. Even if this son passed on to high school when he was weak, it was his lifelong love and pride.

Therefore, even if Chen Yanqing is backed by Changping Bofu, even if he is the first Jinshi in the second grade, he can only start from a seven-grade county order, and more than ten years have passed, and his official position is only a history of Huaizhou governor from the fifth grade.

Half a month ago, Huaizhou rained heavily for several days, and the water level of the Yellow River rose and almost burst.

Thanks to Chen Yanqing's timely dispatch and proper command, he was stationed on the river embankment from the day of the rain, which saved tens of thousands of families in the three prefectures and counties downstream from being displaced.

Strengthen the river embankment and divert water flow......

It rained heavily for 10 days, and Chen Yanqing stayed on the dam for 10 days. Not only that, Chen Yanqing also donated all his family wealth and distributed it to the people who guarded the dam, and even his wife and daughter also guarded the dam and distributed porridge to the people.

Chen Yanqing's superiors were quite fond of this capable subordinate, because Chen Yanqing not only helped him solve the crisis in Huaizhou, but also made him receive the commendation of Emperor Jianyuan and was transferred back to the center. Although he was not promoted, the officials in Beijing could not be the same as those in the localities.

Therefore, when Huaizhou Taishou reported the danger of the Yellow River, he remembered Chen Yanqing's first credit!

Chen Yanqing also entered the sight of Emperor Jianyuan and ordered him to return to Beijing.

Of course, Chen Yanqing didn't know whether this trip to the capital was a blessing or a curse. As soon as he entered Beijing, a messenger flew into the palace, and the emperor ordered him to meet him directly.

Chen Yanqing had been in the dust all the way, and he had not yet freshened up, so he could only tidy up his appearance a little, and waited in the hall with anxiety.

Although the little eunuch who welcomed him into the palace was very polite, Chen Yanqing did not dare to take it lightly. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en. Whether this trip will be a blessing or a curse is still unknown.

Chen Yanqing waited for more than an hour.

Just as his mind was fluctuating, a bright, slightly shrill voice from the chamberlain sounded: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Chen Yanqing hurriedly got up from the brocade pestle and fell to the ground.

The palace maids and chamberlas in the hall knelt on the ground: "See Your Majesty!" ”

Then there is the sound of shoes rubbing against the carpet, very soft, but the interval between each step is the same, and the orderly rhythm is full of majesty.

Chen Yanqing lowered his head even lower, and said in his mouth: "Long live Your Majesty, long live!" ”

"You are Chen Yanqing?" Wei Zhao stood in the hall with his hands in his hands, and his majestic voice was extremely light: "Raise your head." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Yanqing suddenly straightened up, his kneeling posture was straight, his eyes were half-down, and his handsome and elegant face was full of awe.

Wei Zhao said lightly: "You and the Chen family are different. ”

The emperor's tone was calm and waveless, Chen Yanqing couldn't hear whether it was praise or ridicule, his back was stiff, and his palms were densely covered with sweat.

Today is a rare British lord in a hundred years, and he is completely different from the first emperor.

Chen Yanqing was still able to talk eloquently in front of the first emperor; But Jinshang's gaze was as sharp as a knife, even if Chen Yanqing's eyes did not directly match the emperor, he still felt that the top of his head was about to be burned through by Jinshang's gaze!

Wei Zhao was condescending, and his sharp and wise eyes could easily see through Chen Yanqing's thoughts.

Although Chen Yanqing has always been very respectful since Wei Zhao stepped into the hall, those eyes were full of hidden ambitions.

Heavy rains in the north have been incessant, so that the Yellow River has overflowed, and the Yellow River has passed through Yunzhou and Pingzhou, and the houses and fields that have been washed away by the flood are as many as 1,000 acres, and only Huaizhou, no embankment has collapsed, all because Huaizhou has Chen Yanqing, a capable minister who controls the water.

Wei Zhao has seen his resume, this Chen Yanqing has been sitting in the county for five years, and the evaluation is top class every year, but he has been pressed by the center and has no chance of promotion.

Later, Chen Yanqing became famous with a poem at the literary meeting held by the new Taishou Sun Wenye, and was cited as a confidant by Sun Wenye and promoted to the long history of the house.

It is such a person, in order to control the water, he is stationed at the embankment, eats and lives with thousands of people, and also donates all his family wealth, and also asks his wife and daughter to show their heads and give porridge in the torrential rain.

Wei Zhao laughed in his heart, this Chen Yanqing was obviously the latter.

A man who sells his reputation and has ambitions.

Of course, what Wei Zhao himself values is Chen Yanqing's ability. As for character...... Chen Yanqing has not violated any law, so why bother to investigate it.

"I heard that Chen Wei, the former Changping Bo, is your brother-in-law." Wei Zhao said lightly.

Chen Yanqing had a "groan" in his heart, before His Majesty summoned him, he was afraid that he would investigate this person a long time ago, along with his ancestors for three generations. The phrase "heard" was said by His Majesty at this time, which seemed a little subtle.

Of course, what made Chen Yanqing murmur in his heart was the word "before" in front of "Changping Bo"!

As soon as Chen Yanqing entered the capital, he was summoned to the palace, and he didn't know that his brother Chen Wei was deposed from the title of Earl of Changping, and the whole family was sent back to his hometown by His Majesty!

Therefore, he said extremely respectfully and cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, Chen Wei is Wei Chen's brother-in-law. ”
