"We can't agree to the matter of taking a righteous girl, mother."

Pang Shi was in the Qingqiu Pavilion to persuade Old Madam Nie bitterly, but Old Madam Nie kept her eyes closed and did not respond.

"Mother, is it true that my mother doesn't care about this matter? Mother knew that the master had always done everything he could, and no matter how much his daughter-in-law persuaded him, he would not listen. The daughter-in-law had no choice but to come to her mother to discuss. ”

Seeing that Pang Zi was so anxious that he was about to cry, Old Madam Nie stopped the Buddhist beads that were turning in her hand and slowly opened her eyes.

"The old man who worships the Buddha refuses to be embarrassed by others, and the mother and daughter of the Mo family are in trouble, according to the relationship between the former prince and the marquis, they must help. What's more, Miss Mo also helped Guogong treat his injuries. ”

"Mother, but now, the situation is different. If the old man insists on protecting this mother and daughter, he will be dragged down. ”

Ponzi said eagerly.

"You mean, what's happened in southern Xinjiang recently?"

The old lady drank a cup of tea and looked at her and asked.

"Yes, mother, now that the Japanese have surrendered, for a while, compared with the fact that Mo Hou Ye has been guarding the border for many years but has a mediocre record, for a while, everyone has different opinions, and even said that he delayed the fighter plane and commanded the wrong command, so he lost his life."

Speaking the last sentence, he lowered his voice.

"What? Is it so ridiculous? Who said that? Old Madam Nie shouted.

Ponzi sneered: "Mother, what the people outside said... The outsiders also said... “

"The people outside are the people outside, it's the Hou Mansion today, right?" Old Madam Nie glanced at her.

"Mother, don't care who said it, now even the emperor is suspicious, let's stay away from the mother and daughter. If something happens, it won't be so angry that it won't be taken out on the master. ”

Old Madam Nie narrowed her eyes.

...................

Nie Feng has been in a particularly good mood recently, his feet have been completely healed, and he walks like a fly.

Now I am exercising again in the morning, but I don't want to climb the high pavilion. It's just that there is often a smile on his face for no reason.

In early winter, the weather is slightly cold.

Everything in the Nie Mansion is the same, and it is also reuniting at this moment. The matter of the Nie family's cooperation with the next door has been settled, although there are some worries.

But compared to the pomp and circumstance that can take business to the next level, it is still tolerable. And the neighbor's Miss Mo never came to the door again, and everything was done by sending the maids around her.

Do business in a proper manner, with one hand of money and one hand. This duty is clear, innocent, and Nie Feng did not mention the family again, the young lady.

Everything is as usual, but it makes people feel that they are too careful.

"I heard that An Guogong has already faced the saint, handed over the handsome seal, and resigned and went home to recuperate?" Although Nie Kui is not in the court, the two younger brothers in the family are in official positions, and they have to keep an eye on the movements of the court.

"Yes, on that day, the Holy One was very sad."

Nie Feng took a sip of tea and said lightly, but his tone was accentuated by the word sad.

"Sad?" Nie Kui smiled: "In such a court, there is no one left who follows the emperor and has the merit of founding the country from the dragon." ”

Hearing this, Nie Feng's expression was slight, and he subconsciously looked around, and then smiled, a little helpless about his caution. looked at the eldest brother and said in a low voice: "Big brother can't talk nonsense. ”

Nie Kui laughed: "Just our two brothers, what are you afraid of, this kind of thing is not that if you don't say it, I won't say it, he won't say it, no one can see it, everyone is not stupid~ son, otherwise the death of that Yongning Hou will be confused, and now he will be rumored to be ruined?"

It's pitiful to hear that his wife and daughter have disappeared. ”

Nie Feng frowned slightly: "Didn't you say that you were taken back by An Guogong?" ”

"An Guogong is difficult to protect himself now, will he still protect them? I heard that I had already been driven out, but I didn't know where I was. ”

The two shook their heads and sighed for a moment.

"When I say this, I don't mean to pity them, speaking of which, this situation is beneficial to you, the emperor taboos the powerful ministers, it is your opportunity, you young and talented people are more likely to be reused. But. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Nie Feng: "It's not easy for the one above you to press you." But it won't last long, Lao Tzu is down, will his son be far away? ”

"Big brother, no, Huada has always used me very much." Nie Feng said: "And the emperor trusts Huada very much. ”

Nie Kui sneered: "Even so, no matter how talented the Hua people are, but the emperor will still taboo their Hua family, the power of the Wei Division is getting more and more powerful now, and it is impossible for the emperor to hand over this important yamen to a person who is not completely at ease." So, you have to seize ~ the opportunity. ”

In the last sentence, Nie Kui said with great seriousness.

Nie Feng smiled: "Big brother, even if Huada people are pulled off the horse, there are still people who have already paved the way, Liu Tongzhi, who arranged it in?" ”

Hearing this, Nie Kui frowned: "Didn't you say that this person is talentless, cowardly and incompetent, and a mediocre person?" ”

"So what? Big brother, the backer behind him thinks he's good. ”

Yes, yes, that person has a backer behind him. His younger brother didn't, even if he had talent, it was a bad move, I was really ashamed to think about it, in addition to helping him financially, Nie Kui really couldn't give him more help, how sad it was to watch such an important position being taken away by a mediocre person.

"Therefore, I would rather Hua Daren still be in his position, under his hands I am convinced, if it is replaced by Liu Daren... Nie Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hey, in the final analysis, I am actually the same person as Huada, and I have resented him before, both Yu and He Shengliang." But now, hehe. ”

"Fifth brother, you are not too young, the matter of marrying a wife should be put on the agenda, it is better to let your sister-in-law have a good counsel and see which family's daughter can be worthy of you. Rest assured, you will definitely pick one that you are satisfied with. ”

The sudden change of topic made the sad Nie Feng slightly stunned.

"Huh? Wive? ”

"Yes, yes, marry a wife, marry the daughter of a powerful minister, you can help you in your career, and you won't be dragged down by our family...

"What did the eldest brother say? What does it mean to be dragged down by our family? Isn't our Nie family my strongest backing? Nie Feng looked a little unhappy on his face.

Their Nie family has indeed been in business for generations, but there are two Jinshi from their own generation, the second brother and themselves.

In this way, even if the parents died early, the family still prospered, and the more they looked at it, the better they looked.

In his heart, he never felt that there was anything inferior about the merchants, and they all earned money by wisdom and labor. What's so low?

Speaking of marrying a wife, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, thinking of the woman. I don't know if she has that meaning, but as a young person's keen sense, the lady of that family has that meaning to herself.

But now he doesn't want to get married so soon, he has his ambitions.

"The matter of marrying a wife, let's talk about it slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"This, how is this not in a hurry, you are left at home, and your sister-in-law and I worry about it every day."

Nie Kui couldn't hide his anxiety and said.

..................

"Brother, I heard that you have suffered a big loss. Not only did he fall for that woman, but he also put himself into many properties of our Hou Mansion, didn't my brother say that he had a way to torture them to death a little bit? Why are you defeated again and again? Why don't you let your sister help you? “

Mo Xinyao ignored the obstruction of the little maid in front of the door, and broke into Mo Yuan's study. Listening to her cynicism, Mo Yuan's face did not change at all, he just raised his eyes and glanced at her coldly, and did not speak to her.

"Brother may not believe it, speaking of which, only women will have more means to deal with women, and your methods are too roundabout, so you can't change your thinking?"

Mo Xinyao continued to guide him.

saw a sneer on the man's silent face: "Get out." ”

Mo Xinyao's face changed greatly.
