Chapter 338: Showing Favor with Ulterior Motives
Qin Shi said again: "Ning girl, don't blame your aunt for worrying about these, our two rooms are different after all, you see that your brothers, just in the right year, not only want to extend the heirs for the Zhao family, but also seek a career, for the Zhao family to shine on the lintel, your brother Yuanshi's room is useless, he also wants to add a few more concubine rooms, this person is a lot, food and clothing, the house has to be added, and silver money is needed everywhere." ”
"I understand, I understand."
Su Ning'er replied perfunctorily: "San Lang and I have not forced the second aunt, everything is up to the aunt to decide." ”
The Qin clan was afraid that she would mention the matter of using the 200,000 yuan of silver as stock silver again, so he hurriedly persuaded: "To say, San Lang is indeed capable, but I think he doesn't have to take such a big plate for the time being, and it is most important to stabilize the situation in front of him first." ”
"Aunt said very much."
Qin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's really not good, just sell the ancestral property, first make the business of the tea garden safe, our Zhao family's tea garden in the south is still worth some silver, if the tea garden can't be taken care of, I can talk to your brothers, scrape together some money, buy a few tea gardens, and help you reduce the burden." ”
Su Ning'er only sneered silently in her heart, these people in the second room are indeed planning to make a plate.
The tea luck is a private property that Zhao Yuanbai bought when he sold salt a few years ago, and it has nothing to do with the houses, and Qin's words are completely trying to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Su Ning'er didn't smile on her face, and said casually: "The business of the tea garden doesn't have to worry about my aunt. ”
"Ning girl, don't be surprised, I also want to reduce the pressure for the two of you as much as possible."
The Qin family couldn't say any more, so he had to get up and say goodbye.
She also knew that this Ning girl was very elf, so naturally she would not agree to the matter of Erfang's shareholding in the tea garden, but she just mentioned it casually.
Suning'er took it as if she was unintentional, and led the girl to send her out of Ningyuan.
Qin'er and Shuang'er stood beside Suning'er and listened to what the Qin clan had just said, and the sullen breath in their stomachs was waiting to be vented.
Qin'er pouted and said: "The second lady of the room has really done a good job, she just divided so much money from the mansion and went out, and now she is thinking about the idea of playing a tea garden, which is really whimsical." ”
"Isn't this treating us as brainless people."
Shuang'er complained sullenly, and then looked at Suning'er happily, and said with a smile: "It's good that Yiniang didn't tell Mrs. Qin about Langzi's layout in Yangzhou." ”
"Mouthy", Suning'er glanced at Shuang'er with sharp eyes, and suddenly had a lot of insights about today's events.
This person blindly thinks about others, and what he gets is not sincerity for sincerity.
So in the future, you should plan more for yourself and Zhao Yuanbai.
……
Two days later, after Zhao Yuanbai stabilized the situation of the Zhao family, news of Li Guogong's return to the court also came from the DPRK.
This is the most celebratory thing for Suninger and Zhao Yuanbai before the New Year's Festival.
The return of Li Guogong represented the official opening of their efforts to help the saints deal with the Beiya party.
After Li Guogong returned to the court, he was immediately worshiped as the prime minister, and he was a scholar in the middle.
The so-called three fires of the new official took office, and after Li Guogong worshiped the prime minister, several fires were directed at the Yamen of the North Division.
He contacted the official to impeach Wen Jiqing for indiscriminately killing courtiers, putting power above the two ministers, confusing the dynasty, and weakening the imperial power.
Because of his outstanding military exploits and the support of the courtiers, Wen Jiqing felt more and more that the court situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him.
Wen Jiqing also began to have a fierce competition with Li Guogong.
He first passed on the edict in the name of the sage, urging Zhao Yuanbai to go to Jiangnan as soon as possible, and let his people play to separate Li Guogong from the post of salt and iron envoy.
Everyone knows that the salt tax is now the most important financial revenue of the imperial court, and the sage originally intended to let Li Guogong take charge of the post of salt and iron envoy and hold the lifeblood of the imperial court.
In this way, for Nanya, there is less financial dominance to control the situation.
Later, Wen Jiqing hurried to draft a pardon before the New Year's holiday, reducing the ban on military clothing and food and horse millet.
For a while, the major forbidden army camps complained, and they pointed the finger directly at Li Guogong.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, when Suninger and Zhao Yuanbai were taken into the palace to attend the New Year banquet, they heard rumors in the palace that Li Guogong deliberately suppressed the forbidden army, and many forbidden troops had gone to the Guogong Mansion to besiege Li Guogong.
This made Suninger and his wife dumbfounded after hearing this.
During the palace banquet, I didn't see Li Guogong's family coming to the banquet.
This inevitably worries both husband and wife.
However, they must not show their concern for Li Guogong in front of Wen Jiqing, so when they entered the palace, they heard many people asking about Li Guogong's situation, and the couple pretended not to hear, and went to greet the saint by themselves.
Since the new saint ascended the throne, this is the first time Suning'er has seen him, and seeing his thin body wrapped under a brocade robe, Suning'er can't help but feel sad.
Come to think of it, he has had a very difficult time for the rest of the year.
When the saint saw Suning'er again, he seemed to have lost the innocent and lively temperament of the past, but when he talked to her, his face was a little more cordial:
"I heard that Junning is pregnant, I work hard for state affairs all day long, and I have no leisure to visit, today I came to the palace, I specially ordered the imperial chef to make a dish of your favorite crispy mountain, try it quickly."
Suning'er looked at the crisp mountain blooming in front of her, and was so moved that she almost burst into tears: "Sister Chen, thank you for the saint's compassion and care, the saint shoulders the country's society, and asks the saint to take care of the dragon's body." ”
The saint pursed his lips and smiled, nodded slightly, and then raised his glass and signaled to everyone:
"It's another year's festival, I first ascended to the great treasure, and I continued to encounter disasters, all relying on the dedication of the ministers to work hard for the country, so as to turn danger into relief and ensure a peaceful and prosperous world.
Ye Youtong, who was sitting opposite Suning'er, quietly watched Suning'er's direction while listening to the sage's speech.
Su Ning'er accidentally looked over, and the deep and terrible eyes made people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.
The eyes of the two intertwined in the air for a moment, Ye Youtong immediately turned around, looked towards the sage, raised his glass and agreed: "If you want to talk about this humerus minister, the old minister has to mention Princess Junning and the concubine." ”
Looking around at the crowd, he went on to speak in a slow tone:
"Li Guogong swept away the rebellion in the north for the imperial court, and worked hard, but all this is inseparable from the contribution of Princess Junning and the concubine, raising military salaries, donating silver money for disaster relief in the south, Su Zhongsan and the Zhao family spared no effort to let the imperial court survive the crisis, so the old minister felt that this first cup of wine should be honored to the princess and the concubine."
"Not bad, not bad", the sage said happily: "Brother Xianhuang was far-sighted and canonized Jun Ning, which indeed brought blessings to the imperial court, and this cup of wine should indeed be honored to Jun Ning and San Lang." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Sun Ning'er with a smile: "Although the Su family is a family of businessmen, it is rare to have this family and country feelings, I am very relieved, although I have asked Wen Qing to go to the award a few days ago, but this is far from enough to express my heart's gratitude, give food tonight, and send one more to Su Mansion." ”
Suning Er felt terrified, and while thanking the Holy Grace, she gradually felt that Ye Youtong's sudden overture had ulterior motives.
