In the past three months, the Guogong Mansion and the Wu family have been revolving around the marriage, and others have not been idle.

After Shen Gui became an attendant, he was quite reused, and gradually formed a party with the ministers of the Empress Dowager Jia'an.

I don't know if it is the cowardice of King Ping that has caused a shadow to his children, Shen Gui has been tempered to the current age, and he is extremely sophisticated in human affairs, as long as he is at the wine table, there will be no cold time, always staggered, and talk very happily.

Although he was very ambitious, he was also surprisingly cautious, and wrote two high-level excerpts about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, which were not directly submitted, but sold to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu as a favor.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu is called Kou Huai, when the talents in the court withered, the short man was tall, and he was selected as the secretary, although there was no fault over the years, but it was also useless.

Now the talents of the two waiters on the left and the right are all above him, and they are eyeing the position of Shangshu.

But this Kou Huai does not have the talent to be an official, but he knows the means of being an official very well, slippery like a loach, and he can't catch the slightest mistake that can be used to impeach, even if others take him for the time being, he will inevitably have a thorn in his back and a sense of restlessness.

Shen Gui's excerpt just solved his urgent need, and it was a very weighty feeling.

Kou Huai knew that he had to repay this situation, so he recommended Shen Gui to the post of deputy envoy of the front of the palace, which was also considered to be the right calculation of the Empress Dowager Jia'an.

Although the imperial attendants all asked the Empress Dowager Jia'an to vacate half of the people to enter, two of the three commanders in charge of the imperial palace were still old ministers left by the first emperor, and the remaining person who was the Empress Dowager Jia'an could be suppressed by the two old ministers and could only be subordinated to it.

People are stuffed in, but if you want to mix up a skill, you still have to look at Shen Gui's own ability.

And no matter what the future holds, this is always a happy event at the moment, Princess Ping had the idea of setting up a banquet again, called the maidservants to draw up a list, and immediately entered the pool like a koi fish, and swam to each person's house to invite.

Thinking about the relationship between the Lu family and the Empress Dowager De Rong, as well as the phantom left by Zheng Lingyi's falling into the water, Princess Ping did not invite the Guogong Mansion.

However, Shen Qin himself posted a post to invite Zheng Lingyi to come, which did not hurt the face of the Guogong Mansion, and the balance between the two was a method negotiated by the mother and daughter together.

As for the Lu Mansion, the maid got back to Princess Ping's order, but she didn't add it at all.

As soon as the Pingwang Mansion opened, it was difficult for the Lu Mansion to think about it.

Zheng Yanxian's matter was the first to be done, and the Guogong Mansion did not call the door to ask the Qi family to give an explanation, but Lu Weiyin and Lu Congxin still knew about the good things that the Qi family had done.

Although there is no empirical evidence, others don't need real evidence to chew gossip, and the eight words 'groundless wind may not be without cause' are enough.

Zeng Fu even returned Qi's post, which was really a resounding slap in the face.

was complained about by his son, disgusted by his husband, and disgusted by his daughter, the life of the Qi family in the past three months was really depressing.

She was just able to breathe a sigh of relief, and learned that the Lu Mansion was drawn out by the Ping Wangfu, and no one in the Mansion was invited.

Qi was so frightened that he trembled, and he didn't dare to raise his head in front of Lu Weiyin, which shows that this cowardice and viciousness can coexist in one person.

Although he knew that it was related to his embarrassing position in the DPRK and China, how could Lu Weiyin admit it in front of others?

Qi's fault is a good excuse that can be used to shirk it.

If it hadn't been for Lu Congxin's arrival, Qi was afraid that he would have fainted from Lu Weiyin's anger.

Lu Wei glanced at her in disgust and went out without looking back.

"Quick, where has the master gone?" Qi still had tears on his face, but he yelled at the servant with some madness.

The servant hurriedly went out to see, Lu Congxin looked at Qi's embarrassed appearance, both distressed and uncomfortable.

Lu Congxin finally coaxed her to wash her face and calm down, and the maid's reply made her excited again.

"The master went to Aunt Mei's courtyard."

Qi Shi's eyes widened suddenly, and he grabbed Lu Congxin's arm and said eagerly: "Congxin, go and invite your father back, that little beast will definitely be in that slut's courtyard, don't let him take advantage of the loophole!" ”

"Mother!" Lu Congxin's face was red, and he was ruthless, and he made a lot of effort to break himself out, took a few steps back and stood still, and said to Qi Shi with hatred: "The little beast you are talking about is my brother-in-law, and the slut you are talking about is my father's concubine." ”

He shook his head bitterly, as if he was puzzled how the gentle mother who used to be quiet and silent could become like this.

Qi Shi rushed forward again and said hurriedly: "Your brother is ruthless, he can even cut his own fingers!" Your father actually praised him for his resoluteness, so he only looked down on their mother and son recently. Mother took a wrong step, and now she is disgusted by your father, son, you have to fight for your mother, don't let that little beast compare to you. ”

Hearing that the Qi family was still a little beast, Lu Congxin only felt a headache, barely stabilized his mind, and said earnestly: "Yu Xin has suffered a lot because of that six fingers, and it is his own choice to grit his teeth and chop it, it is indeed a bold move, why do we say so much?" ”

"As for this, or not, he and I both have the surname Lu, he is promising, and I am happy for him. And Niang, Yuxin calls you Niang, but she doesn't call Aunt Mei Niang, don't be too ugly when you speak. ”

It has to be said that it is a miracle that these adults can raise children with such character.

Lu Congxin's words are worthy of the four words that Zheng Lingyi gave him that day - Lang Lang gentleman.

Qi Shi looked at Lu Congxin, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, she hooked the corners of her mouth, but tears flowed from her eyes, staggered a few steps, pointed at Lu Congxin and sneered: "It's a good thing to say, son, you are so good at character, but what do you get?" Well? ”

It was really accurate for this close person to poke his heart, Lu Congxin glanced at Qi from his heart, and left without saying a word.

As soon as he went out, he happened to bump into Zheng Yanxian walking towards him with a big belly, Lu Congxin couldn't restrain his emotions, he didn't go under the porch, and instead walked through the courtyard.

Zheng Yanxian is almost in the period of giving birth, and it is very uncomfortable to walk these steps, the whole person is fragile, I heard that Lu Congxin and Qi have a dispute, and I want to talk about it and win a few favors. Ke Lu still ignored himself like this, and collapsed at once, slumped in Zhiyue's arms and whimpered.

The child in the womb was saved by Zheng Yanxian's original gambling curse, and she also promised to take a blood test as soon as the child was born.

As for Bu Yang, there was no trace of him, Zheng Yanxian suspected that he was dead, or that he was continued to be detained somewhere by Lu Congxin, but she didn't dare to ask a word.

Zheng Yanxian now knows her mistakes, but unfortunately it's too late, people's hearts are like flowing water, only to go and not return, Lu Congxin has seen Zheng Qiuqiu more times than she has seen her.

Zheng Lingyi promised the Wu family, and Zheng Yanxian also revealed it to Lu Congxin, hoping that he would die, Lu Congxin did not move, but the time spent in the study in the past few days has been getting longer and longer.

Lu Congxin's wife and concubine are all good-looking, but it's a pity that he only feels that his heart is empty, and the emptiness is sour.

Lu Congxin was absentmindedly flipping through a few books in the study, and when he heard someone knocking on the door, he let him in.

Seeing that the person who came was Zhizhu, Lu Congxin's face turned a little colder, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Madam, Madame is about to give birth, Uncle, go and take a look."

Zhizhu stood at the door and didn't dare to come in, and the expression on his face was also very weird, obviously it was good news but it was like a funeral.

Lu Congxin didn't want to say anything ugly, so he said angrily: "Let's be born!" What do you bother me to do. ”

Zhizhu shrank for a moment, wanted to say something but couldn't, only said: "Sister asked the slave and maid to tell my aunt that when I give birth to a child, please come to my uncle immediately to verify the bloodline." It doesn't matter if you wronged her, don't wronged the child. ”

A long time after Zhizhu left, Lu Congxin glanced out of the door, and then leaned against the table with his head in both hands, falling into endless struggle and sorrow.

"Big brother."

Lu Yuxin's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, Lu Congxin got up suddenly, rubbed his face with his palm, and said a little uncomfortably: "Come in." ”

Lu Yu walked in hesitantly, and smiled at Lu Congxin flatteringly, his sharp eyes curved into a pair of smiling eyes, "Big brother, my father said to take me to Yueshilou for dinner, I thought about asking you, do you want to go together?" ”

Lu Congxin was upset at this time, he didn't pay attention to the thorns in his words, and he wanted to take a bite, but Zheng Yanxian's sharp and towering belly popped up in his mind, and the words that made him slide to his mouth became a different scene.

"Just now, there was a word in your sister-in-law's room, saying that she is going to give birth, I have to take a look, you go with your father."

In addition to Lu Congxin, the people who know about Zheng Yanxian and Bu Yang also include Zheng Guogong and his wife, Lu Weiyin and his wife, Zheng Lingyi, Zheng Yanru, and Zhiyue and Zhizhu.

Lu Congxin naturally pretended to be normal in front of Lu Yuxin, Lu Yuxin smiled when he heard this, his smile unfolded very slowly, and when the corners of his mouth were slightly cocked, Lu Congxin almost thought it was a sarcastic laugh.

"This is a big deal, I'll go talk to my father, let's stay and guard my sister-in-law together." Lu Yuxin said with sincerity.

Lu Congxin hurriedly refused, and said, "No need, you can go and eat." Women can't say for sure if they give birth to a child, maybe you're back, and the doll hasn't landed yet. ”

The two of them talked back and forth, and Lu Yuxin left Lu Congxin's study and went to find Lu Weiyin to eat outside.

Lu Congxin stood in the study for a long time, and then reluctantly walked to Zheng Yanxian in the inner courtyard.

Zhizhu was overjoyed that he got it, and sent tea and asked him to wait outside.

The woman's cry of pain was not high, faintly like a little ant gnawing on his heart, making people's chests extremely uncomfortable, as if holding a ball of gas, I can't wait to poke a hairpin into it to vent the grievances inside.

"Cousin." A gentle and gentle female voice sounded, and as soon as Lu Congxin turned his head, he saw Zheng Qiuqiu standing at the door wearing plain clothes, smiling at him with a calm appearance, which looked a little like Zheng Lingyi.

"Here we are." Lu Congxin only lost his mind for a moment, then returned to his normal, and said lukewarmly.

"My sister gave birth, I was a little worried, so I came to take a look, it's better than waiting in the house."

Zheng Qiuqiu stood next to Lu Cong's heart, and it was clear that there was an empty chair, but she didn't sit on it.

Until Lu Congxin said, "Sit down and wait." ”

Zheng Qiuqiu sat down cautiously, didn't say much nonsense, just stared intently at the closed mahogany door of the inner room, his eyes looked expectant, but there was more gloom than expectation.
