There are no secrets in the court or in the palace.

Yang Yuan ascended to the sky in one step, from a small official to a "secretary", and was about to send an envoy to the Six Nations;

Jiang Zhong folded his self-defense, was left by the king, and did not fight back directly.

These two things, in less than half a day, have been spread all over the mansions of the ministers, and similar conversations and analyses between the Chu brothers and the Chu brothers have happened in the study of every big man.

After making sure that the princess had enough influence over the king, the enthusiasm of these people was completely mobilized!

The princess refuses to accept gifts, and the oil and salt are not entered, it doesn't matter!

As long as the princess is not on a deserted island, there must be someone who is slightly familiar, and it is impossible not to give face to anyone. We can't see the princess, it's okay, these people can always do it, right?

As a result, from noon to the evening, the threshold of the official residence where Fan Chen and Sun Qing lived was about to be broken.

Countless doormen held the posts of their benefactors, and the carriages, carts, and burdens behind them were full of all kinds of treasures, and wanted to ask to see the two of them.

Even if you can't see it, at least you have to accept it.

The alley where the official residence was located was blocked by these people, and the queue lined up on the street.

Such a big battle made the rough servants who swept and sprinkled so frightened that they stammered and couldn't speak.

Seeing this, the doormen couldn't help but be surprised - even if Sun Qing and Fan Chen went out, didn't they even have a confidant? The one who stayed to watch the door was actually a rough labor assigned by the government?

This is not surprising either.

On the way to the old capital with the king, it is impossible for the minister to bring guests and servants.

Although the king brought thousands of palace people and temple people, they are servants of the royal family, and they are not responsible for serving them.

Petty officials, they must only be able to boil it by themselves, and they are not so particular.

The ministers have a big family and many servants, and they know the itinerary, so their families and guests naturally take some people and horses to the old capital in advance.

Sun and Fan obviously belong to the former.

Fan Chen has neither a family nor any relatives, and his food and accommodation are all in Shanglin Yuan, although there are one or two child servants to help with trivial matters, how could he bring them to Lulong City?

Although Sun Qing was born in a famous family, he was only a minor official before, first as a disciple of Taishi Ling, taking care of the teacher's daily life, and then went to Minjun to polish a circle, and after returning to the royal capital, he has been staying in Shanglin Yuan. Go to the fields, smelt iron, repair factories, and do all kinds of dirty work.

These experiences have already polished the squeamishness on his body.

In addition, Fan Chen and the great sages of the Mo family mostly do all the trivial things themselves, so Sun Qing naturally can't put his son's brother on the score, so he naturally eats a big pot of rice with his colleagues and lives in a collective dormitory.

Because of this, after the two sensed the arrival of the "gift-giving tide", Fan Chen asked directly: "I don't plan to deal with these things, what about you?" ”

Sun Qing knew that Fan Chen's subtext was - if you don't deal with it, just keep them out, if you want to deal with them, I'll find a place to avoid them, and come back when there is no one.

Although he hoped to marry a courtier, he suddenly came to give gifts to so many people, and he always felt worried in his heart, and he didn't think about how to deal with it for a while. So I didn't say a word, just nodded.

The two made up their minds and immediately slipped away, just enough to make the giver of the gift pounce.

It's just that they didn't go far.

Three streets away, there was a restaurant, and they opened a single room on the second floor, separated by curtains, just by the window. With their eyes, they could just see the scene on the street of the official residence.

Sun Qing was very emotional.

From the words of his father and ancestors, he knew that when the ancestor Wuxin Hou worshiped the prime minister, the Sun family was also in such a grand situation.

But the good times didn't last long.

Marquis Wu Xin was deposed as prime minister and expelled from Zhao, and his eldest son followed him and returned to his homeland of Liang. The youngest son, Sun Qing's great-grandfather, stayed in Zhaoguo.

At the beginning, there were still people in the family who were officials, although they were getting smaller and smaller, and the county guards and county orders were ...... But in his father's generation, he had to rely on business to make a living. Although it seems that the family business is rich, in fact, it is like a rootless duckweed, trembling every day, afraid that because of too much wealth, it will be treated as a lamb to be slaughtered by officials.

Although the ancestors left some shadow, so that the Sun family lasted for another generation or two, but if it goes on like this, the family will only be ruined and destroyed in an instant.

Otherwise, the Sun family would not have used all means to find a way to stuff Sun Qing into the Taishi Bureau.

Thinking of the past, Sun Qing really felt like a dream: "If they can't see us, they will definitely send someone to Sun's house." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The family affairs of the Sun family are no longer worried." ”

Fan Chen couldn't help but look sideways: "This is a good thing, why sigh?" ”

Sun Qing was silent for a moment before he said, "My brother is sick in bed, and my sister-in-law is very virtuous and personally serves the decoction. My eldest sister's husband, though he is relatively wooden, is very kind to me, and—"

He couldn't go on.

Among the many cousins, he is the younger one, due to his mother's lack of energy, what is the relationship between his sister-in-law and his brother, let's not talk about it for the time being, he is brought as half a son.

and sisters, before they got married, although they didn't have a lot of contact with him, when they practiced female popularity, they never fell behind him.

From childhood to adulthood, just receiving gifts from his sisters-in-law and sisters was enough for his daily expenses.

Fan Chen still didn't understand: "Isn't this good?" Prove that your family is in harmony. ”

"Harmony-" Sun Qing smiled bitterly, "It won't be in the future." ”

Although he didn't want to speak ill of his family, he knew in his heart that although the Sun family had a good family style, he just felt that when his family was gradually declining, he could stand upright and pass on the family for a longer time.

In other words, not enough temptation and coercion.

Now the three princes and nine kings all know that he is a familiar person to the princess, a witch, and he has a promising future, so he is desperately trying to win him over.

This should have been something he was looking forward to, but when he thought of the consequences that followed, what came to Sun Qing's heart was not ecstatic, but fearful.

When Liu He married his youngest daughter to him, Sun Qing already knew how ecstatic his father and ancestor were.

If it weren't for her aunt and grandmother Sun Boji who died three years ago, her stepchildren would not be willing to help this stepmother keep filial piety, Sun Qing thanked her aunt for her kindness and was willing to keep filial piety for her for three years as a descendant; In addition, Liu He will keep his daughter for a few more years, and this marriage has already been completed.

The Three Princes and Jiuqing may not offend Liu He and take away this family business, but they can start from his relatives.

To put it mildly, could it be that his father, his brother, and his sister have something to do with him, and he can still push them all off?

Thinking of this, Sun Qing let out a long sigh.

His sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law are afraid that they will be replaced.
