Mrs. Guo has been paying attention to the changes in Jiang Yu's expression.

When she talked about the illegitimate child of the Guo family, Jiang Yu obviously leaned forward, I don't know if she deliberately made her look interested, but Mrs. Guo was indeed encouraged.

Guo Yuan, the illegitimate son, is not clear to outsiders, but as a gossip machine walking in the back house, Mrs. Guo is clear.

During the uprising, Guo Kun was afraid that the identity of this child would affect Guo Zhenzhen's ability to serve Jiang Wan, and he also discussed with several uncles all night.

Since that day, Mrs. Guo has not seen the child again.

To be honest, the child is by Guo Kun's side, and it is not satisfactory, Guo Kun's original wife has a strong temperament, Guo Kun has never said this, but the children are ten years old, and suddenly one day they came to the door to recognize their father, so the two of them had a lot of trouble for a while.

Later, Guo Kun's wife also saw that the child could do some rough work, so she was taken to the backyard as a handyman.

Guo Kun was just a groom at that time, how much work could he do at home? Eat with one more mouth, so as to avoid the original wife chattering every day, Guo Kun is already at a loss, he can't say anything, and he doesn't even have a good face for this child.

Later, the Guo family gradually improved, and Guo Yuan's life got better, at least the groceries that he used to do by one person also helped him make some groceries.

However, this life did not last long, and the day Qi Ying and Jiang Wan decided to revolt, it completely changed Guo Yuan's fate.

"Is there anything special about this bastard?" Jiang Ying asked more, knowing in her heart that there must be something to ponder about this matter, but this conversation was just initiated by Mrs. Guo unilaterally courting her, so naturally Mrs. Guo should tell her what she knew, but it is impossible to get any information feedback from Jiang Yu's mouth.

Mrs. Guo was thinking about her own pair of children in her heart, and naturally hoped that Jiang Yu would be as interested in her news as possible, and she expressed her sincerity, thinking that the prime minister could also understand her intentions and help in the marriage between Shen Lingji and the military department's family, what did she plan so hard for? Isn't it just for his own children?

If you do so many things, in the end, you will be empty, how can Mrs. Guo be willing?

The most terrible thing is that if the squire of the military department dissolves the marriage contract with Shen Lingji and runs to pester Shen Linglong, then their Shen family's face will really be lost, not to mention that Shen Lingji will not have the face to meet people by then, even if she is an old woman, it is estimated that she will not be able to raise her head when she goes out.

"It is said that Guo Yuan's mother is a sinner who fell from the previous dynasty." Mrs. Guo took two steps forward, lowered her voice when she said this, and her eyebrows were unconsciously raised, which could be seen that this was indeed a terrible secret in her heart.

Before the uprising, the Nine Immortals had indeed been given a lot of prisoners by the emperors of the previous dynasty.

Jiang Yu had heard of sinners who behaved well and ended up being confiscated and turned into slaves, but he didn't expect Guo Kun to have an entanglement with such a person back then.

However, it is impossible to verify what the specific situation was back then.

No one knows how the so-called guilty woman gave birth to Tao Yuan's child, but it is a real fact that Tao Yuan was not by Guo Kun's side before he was ten years old, and later after the guilty woman died, Guo Yuan was finally able to be placed in the backyard as a handyman.

He had been with Guo Kun for about five years, and when he was almost fifteen years old, he met eighteen-year-old Qi Ying and seventeen-year-old Jiang Wan, who launched a crusade against the previous dynasty that year.

In total, he is younger than Guo Zhenzhen, and if he is really alive now, he should already be a nineteen or twenty-year-old man.

Jiang Yu flashed all kinds of speculations and thoughts in her heart, and when she saw Mrs. Guo like this, she smiled and said, "Maybe it's just speculation, and the eldest lady herself said it, maybe the child died five years ago?" ”

Mrs. Guo pursed her lips, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, and after half a ring, she said ruthlessly: "The Prime Minister doesn't know, as far as I know, Guo Yuan's child's mother is not a simple sinner." ”

Jiang Yu half-lowered her eyes, not wanting to be seen by Mrs. Guo, so she picked up the teacup and slowly cooled it, and responded to the signal for her to continue.

"It is said that he is a descendant of a military attaché, and he has kung fu in his body, but after being exiled, he broke some tendons, and he can no longer practice martial arts, why can Guo Yuan's child enter the eyes of the Guo family's lady to stay and work, isn't it just to see that he has strength in his hands and feet? Prime Minister, you say, that woman, maybe not teach her son all the kung fu she knows? I saw it with my own eyes, the child was carrying two large buckets of water, his feet were light, and his steps were like flying, so could there be any fakes? Kung fu falls on the body, and it is the most impossible to fake! The more Mrs. Guo spoke, the more she had a nose and eyes, as if she could catch Guo Yuan in front of Jiang Yu in the next second and demonstrate it in person.

"So Madame thinks that Guo Yuan has kung fu in his body, maybe he sensed something and escaped, and he didn't lose his life, right?" Jiang Ying looked at Mrs. Guo with a smile.

Mrs. Guo felt that Jiang Yu was very kind after saying this, but she didn't have the nervousness she had at the beginning, so she nodded again and again: "Not bad." ”

Jiang Yu drank the tea and put it down, and after pondering for a while, he straightened out the hem of his clothes: "What Mrs. Guo told me is indeed a rumor that I can't hear in Su Ri, but after so many years, it is just a move of affection between the two, and it is not a big stain." ”

Of course, she knew that Shen Kang would not make up his mind to defect so quickly, officialdom, every step had to be carefully considered further behind, Shen Kang had no magical powers, naturally he didn't know Qi Ying's current movements towards the Guo family, of course he was also afraid of Guo Kun's revenge, although Jiang Ying's begging and overseeing of Shen Linglong that day made Shen Kang excited, but he also had to judge the situation and take some time to digest.

It's Mrs. Guo who can handle it very well, I thought that if I put some pressure on my children with a little means, Mrs. Guo could help persuade Shen Kang faster, but I didn't expect it. There is even a windfall.

Mrs. Guo is here to be sincere, and what she said is enough for Jiang Yu to digest and digest, but Jiang Yu still only makes an indifferent look, and seems to feel that what Mrs. Guo said is not meritorious.

Mrs. Guo cares about a pair of children, and what she is most afraid of is that she comes in a hurry, but Jiang Ying feels that her words are useless, and she can't provide value, how can she open her mouth and beg the prime minister for help?

Although for Jiang Yu, this is just a matter of one sentence, which is simply easy, but the weight of the prime minister's words is not something that Mrs. Guo can easily afford.

In a panic, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but be a little unscrupulous: "The Prime Minister's words earlier, the concubine and her husband have already thought about it carefully, but his personality dictates that he has dealt with Guo Kun for a long time, and it is inevitable that he has a lot of concerns, but I can carry it very clearly in my heart, the Guo family is still unreliable, he doesn't treat us as his own family, but he expects us to be loyal to him, Prime Minister, you say, where can there be such a thing in this world?" Besides, I'm a woman, don't I still look forward to my husband and children? The leader of the court can rely on it.,It's still only the prime minister.,I'm here to talk to the adults today about these women's gossip.,Also.。。 There is nothing else to mean, and I hope that the Prime Minister will not dislike my words too much, and the Prime Minister will have anything to ask in the future, even if he calls me, it is worth it to do a little bit for the Prime Minister. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Guo glanced out again: "Linglong is in front of the Prime Minister, but she is still well-behaved and sensible?" Didn't cause trouble for the Prime Minister, did you? ”

Jiang Ying bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "Linglong is very good." ”

"That girl was a little naughty when she was in the house earlier, and when she came to the Prime Minister, she must have admired the Prime Minister's demeanor, and there was a young talent like the Jiang family's son by her side, and now she can be sensible and well-behaved, but it is Linglong's blessing, she is now following the Prime Minister, and her temperament is not comparable to before, but she is the same age as Lingji, Lingji is the eldest sister, and she made a marriage contract with the military department waiter's family earlier, so naturally she should get married first, but as a mother-in-law, I am naturally also worried about the marriage of Linglong girl, Now Linglong is serving in front of the Prime Minister.,I don't know the Prime Minister.。。 What do you think about this? "Mrs. Guo has made a big circle, which can be regarded as the focus of this trip.

She raised her hand sleeves, pretended to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead inadvertently, and nervously waited for Jiang Yu's answer.

The prime minister is such a transparent and intelligent person, Mrs. Guo knows that she will definitely be able to understand her intentions.

In just two minutes of silence, Mrs. Guo was tormented as if two hours had passed.

She did say something very important without realizing it.

And I made a promise in person, which is the best thing I can do right now.

Jiang Yu got what she wanted, and naturally she couldn't give back at all, she hooked the corners of her lips lightly, and her voice was still light and gentle: "Linglong just came to my side to help, and now although she is at the age of marriage, she is not in a hurry to get married in the next two years, Mrs. Guo pays attention to Linglong's marriage, this girl and I have been with me for a few years, I will naturally look for her, since the beloved daughter of the eldest lady has already negotiated a marriage contract, I will definitely go to the party at that time and ask for a cup of wine to drink." ”

When these words came out, the weighing stone hanging high in Mrs. Guo's heart was considered to have fallen.

Jiang Ying wants to stay with Shen Linglong for a few more years, Mrs. Guo is naturally happy to see it, the important thing is the last sentence to ask for a cup of wine, with the prime minister's words, the grievances and contradictions between Shen Jin and Jiang Tingye have disappeared, and Shen Lingji's marriage contract can be regarded as successfully kept.

Next, as long as you quickly persuade Shen Kang to take refuge in the prime minister, maybe Shen Jin's officialdom road can still have room for reversal!

After getting what she thought, Mrs. Guo talked to Jiang Yu for a while, and after she couldn't talk anymore, she hurriedly found a relatively natural excuse at random, and hurriedly went back to the house to tell Shen Lingji the good news.

As soon as Mrs. Guo walked on her front foot, Jiang Ying turned her head and said to the screen barrier behind her: "Come out." ”

At first, there was no movement, but after a while, Shen Linglong moved out from behind.

She was a little embarrassed, and her voice was very small: "Prime Minister. . . You know I'm here? ”

Jiang Yu beckoned to her and asked her to come and sit down beside her.

Shen Linglong was still a little nervous at first, afraid that her eavesdropping behavior would make Jiang Ying unhappy, and she refused to stay by her side anymore, and when Jiang Ling smiled and let her pass, Shen Linglong's uneasiness in her heart eased a little.

When he came back, Uncle Yi told her that Mrs. Guo came to look for her, and when Shen Linglong met her, Jiang Ying knew that Shen Linglong would definitely not be able to sit in the study.

When he entered the house, he found that the girl was not there, and guessed that she might be hiding behind.

Mrs. Guo and Shen Kang are still useful now, that girl hates Guo in her heart, and the revenge of killing her mother will always be avenged one day, Jiang Yu knows it.

After all, she is still young, and it is understandable that she will have such a move.

But now, whether it is Mrs. Guo or Shen Kang, they can't move.

They are useful, so Jiang Yu will not turn them away from anyone, for any reason.

Shen Linglong is a sensible girl, and she will never exceed her duties and rules because Jiang Ying likes her a little, which is why Jiang Ying will stay by her side.

"Your father's affairs may not be known to you, but now that you are with me, he values you more than before." Jiang Yu pondered his mouth and mentioned Shen Kang, Shen Linglong's face was obviously not very good-looking.

"I'm not rare to him."

Jiang Yu pondered for a moment, raised his hand and patted the back of Shen Linglong's hand: "You can not be rare, or you can not reconcile with him, but Linglong, he is your father, he has an official position in the imperial court, please after the Guo family, maybe he can do better than now, do you know what it means?" ”

Shen Linglong raised her eyes, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head slightly.

"With your father, he can be the backbone of the Shen family, with him, you will have a place to return, a backer, and a reliance, the grievances and grievances between you and Mrs. Guo are just hatred between the two in the back house, I hope your eyes can fly a little higher, see farther, understand the prosperity and future of a family, want to rely on a certain person to support it, how difficult it is, others will not care what you have experienced, they only know that your surname is Shen, the honor and disgrace of a family are implicated together, Maybe you have never participated in the so-called glory of the Shen family, but once you are humiliated, others will poke your back, not for anything else, just because you were born to be a member of the Shen family, you have no choice, but if in the future, you can have a day when you are willing to reconcile with your father, and you can untie the veil of the Guo family by yourself, so that she can get the punishment and lesson she deserves, and at that time, you must open your heart and tell him about the grievances between you and your mother over the years, okay? Jiang Ying's voice was very soft, but Shen Linglong heard the loneliness.

The Jiang family is descendant, and now she is the only one left.

The lintel of the Prime Minister's Mansion is all supported by this thin woman's body.

Jiang Kun's words, the words are the blood and tears she has personally experienced, Guo Kun's sins, as long as Shen Kang does not intervene, it will not affect him to the extent, at least in this choice, if he is smart on Jiang Yun's side, he is on the side of the imperial power, just the fact that he will be guilty is enough for Shen Kang to keep his official position and save his family's life.

And the sins of Mrs. Guo are two things to say.

Shen Linglong lowered her eyes and didn't respond, she had never been like this in front of Jiang Ying, but when it came to Guo's viciousness, Shen Linglong obviously had her own insistence, and after a long time, she raised her face and said seriously: "Prime Minister, Linglong knows what to do." ”

Jiang Ying raised her eyebrows: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Linglong is grateful for the Prime Minister's teachings, and does not dare to live up to the Prime Minister's expectations, but the hatred of killing the mother is not shared, if you don't report it for your children, although Linglong is dull and humble, she doesn't dare to miss the Prime Minister's major event, and she doesn't dare to miss the major affairs of the court, and my grievances with the Guo family should be solved by my own hands, as the Prime Minister said, this is a matter of the back house, and it will only be a family matter." Shen Linglong's eyes were firm, and finally hooked the corners of her lips, "The prime minister just taught him the day before yesterday, and he was dormant in order to kill him with one blow!" ”

She had already made up her mind.

will not be impulsive and reckless, and will not rely on others to take revenge on her.

She wants to uncover Guo's hypocritical face with her own hands, let Shen Kang see clearly the crimes she has committed over the years, and seek justice from her father, for herself and her mother!

Jiang Zheng bowed her head and didn't say anything more, she didn't criticize Shen Linglong, she only told her not to do this in the future.

After coming back from a trip to the palace, Jiang Yu was a little tired, so he went back to the room to take a nap and waited for Jiang Tingye and Lu Ran to come back.

The two of them didn't return until dinner, but they gained a lot, and learned the inside story of the 'Hanzhu' business from Chen Shangshui, Jiang Tingye's face was ugly, and even Lu Ran, who had always been calm, left in a hurry after saying hello to Jiang Yu.

There are still a few days to wait for Chen Shangshui's news, and the spring sun is covering the earth, and the birthday of the Queen Mother is also in sight.

The palace has long been experiencing festivities.

Guo Zhenzhen is now taking over the control and rectification of the harem openly, probably because she wants to show herself too much, and she is harsh in everything, but she has lost her former harmony.

Although the palace people also talked about it in private, but in general, as long as they did their part well, the virtuous concubine never treated everyone badly, and the voice of dissatisfaction was always very small, and it could not be spread far away in the palaces, let alone in the Jinchi Palace.

These days, Guo Zhenzhen is not only beautiful, but when she goes to the Golden Pond Palace, she accompanies Qi Ying far more times than before.

Qi Ying had to act on the scene to dispel all Guo Zhenzhen's concerns, not only to see her, but also to ask him from time to time about her excellent performance in the harem that he had 'heard', and then praise it a lot, emphasizing that in this harem, only she can make him feel at ease.

For Guo Zhenzhen, there is nothing more important in this world than Qi Ying's affirmation of her.

It's a pity that Qi Ying seems to be very troubled by the politics of the previous dynasty recently, and she has not been fortunate to come back after that night, nor has she summoned any concubines in the harem to sleep.

Everyone can't see the emperor, and Guo Zhenzhen's heart is not unbalanced.

Now that Qi Ying already values her and understands her importance, grace and children are only a matter of time.

She is willing to wait until Qi Ying opens her heart to her and is happy.

Thinking like this, even the meeting she looks forward to every day has become sweeter.

The only thing that makes her happy and happy days unpleasant is Chu Miao, who is seriously copying the account books next to her.

She didn't understand it very well, the accounts in the palace were complicated, just a tea expense for the palace people, which had already made Chu Miao a little nerve-wracking, she raised her face and whispered: "Guifei Niangniang, the concubine doesn't know much about the method of account recording, can Niangniang talk to me?" ”
