There is a well-known saying in modern times - the economy is the foundation, politics is the superstructure, and the foundation determines the superstructure. However, in times of intense social change, a special situation occurs: politics plays a decisive role, and "politics cannot but take the first place compared to economics".

Not only in modern times, but even more so in this era of imperial supremacy.

The core of imperial power, the capital, is in chaos, which is not good news for Xiao Nuan.

So she hurriedly asked, "What's the mess, what's the mess?" ”

Maybe it's because he hasn't found anyone to tell him about the bitterness of this trip just now, Zhang Sanyou, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, poured bitter water on Xiao Nuan.

"Beijing is indeed prosperous, the market is not closed at night, and the singing and dancing are peaceful. The children of the noble family are proud of this by waving their sleeves and throwing thousands of dollars at every turn in order to ask for a smile; Scholars wander and stay on the streets at night, but it becomes a good story...... "Zhang San told all kinds of prosperity and chaos in the capital, "When Xiaosheng first arrived, he was also blinded by the prosperity, and he was confused for a few days, and he was secretly annoyed that he was not born in a noble family, and there was no power to squander and indulge, and he wrote some deviant and rotten words and phrases with his classmates in the academy misinterpreting the words of the sage, just hoping to be able to sing on the street. ”

Xiao Nuan listened silently, knowing that the style of writing was so glamour, and politics would not be clear.

"After half a month like this, Xiaosheng woke up in a dream, and with the bed to the moon, he realized that if he continued like this, he would become a disciple of the wine pond and meat forest, so he wanted to study hard, enter the officialdom in the imperial examination, and show his ambitions."

But in the next half month, Xiaosheng began to pay attention to the government and politics after studying. Because of studying and taking the road of the imperial examination, he will definitely enter the court and show his ambitions as an official. When Xiaosheng first set foot in the valley, he was hammered to the bottom with a heavy hammer, and it was difficult to turn over. Because the DPRK and China are on the rise, they are fighting each other-for-tat and tilting each other, which is even more smoky. ”

Party? Xiao Nuan blinked her eyes, this is not a good thing.

Zhang Sanyou sighed, "Xiaosheng also heard gossip in the market, and the various factions in the imperial examination are also very competitive, and the undergraduate examiner is still clear, because he is overwhelmed, he does not cite students from all factions, and recommends the obscure scholars in various states with novel articles, so Ling Zun is fortunate to come out on top." ”

Xiao Nuan sighed, isn't this just a competition between sandpipers and mussels. The examiner has good intentions, but Chen Zumo was appointed as the champion, which is also a great misfortune for the court - this guy is an official, and he must also be a fly camp dog.

But I have to admit that often such talents are suitable for officialdom, and they are left and right, and they are on the rise. Xiao Nuan was quite depressed in her heart, the higher Chen Zumo's status, the more sad their life became!

"There is one thing, which is the beginning of chaos." Zhang Sanyou lowered his voice, "Today's saint is already in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, I heard that the dragon's body is not good, but he has not established the prince and the prince for a long time, and the two princes have come up with means one after another in order to seize the throne, which has made the capital uneasy day and night. Zhang Sanyou whispered, "The second prince is from the main palace, he is filial piety and intelligent, if he gets the throne, he should be a generation of Ming monarchs; The eldest prince is amazingly talented, decisive in killing, if he becomes orthodox, he will be able to manage the dynasty, be upright, and return me to the Great Zhou. ”

Xiao Nuan read "The Emperor Kangxi" and was deeply impressed by the drama of the nine sons seizing the heir, and the court must be in turmoil when the old and new thrones alternate. Xindao This Zhou Emperor has only two princes to seize the throne, and the battle is much smaller.

Listening to Zhang Sanyou's meaning, the frequent limelight seems to be more inclined to the eldest prince, don't you pay attention to what "standing up for a successor but not for a long time" these years? But none of this has anything to do with her, Xiao Nuan is a little relieved.

Her business can't do it in the capital for the time being, and let them go to chaos, and when the old emperor abdicates and the new emperor ascends the throne in a few years, her business should also be bigger.

So, isn't she just in time for a good time? Xiao Nuan touched her small chin and nodded with satisfaction.

But at this time, she heard Zhang Sanyou say in a lower voice, "The marriage between Ling Zun and the three county lords of King Chengping is also spread all over the city. King Chengping's wife is the aunt of the eldest prince, although King Chengping spends his days drinking and not doing court affairs, but Xiaosheng heard that he is a confidant of the prince's faction. ”

"Ling Zun was ordered to return to his hometown to marry this time, and I am afraid that he also came back with the secret order of King Chengping. Otherwise, the new champion of the new department, when the scenery is the same, how can he leave Beijing in such a mess! ”

"What?" Xiao Nuan stood up in shock.

Zhang Sanyou was so frightened by her that he jumped up, "Miss Chen, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, Xiaosheng is just hearsay." ”

How can there be waves without wind, and where can there be no sound from waves!

If what Zhang Sanyou said was true, Chen Zumo was actually daring, and she would be involved in such a big thing as seizing the heir, which is extremely risky and can easily destroy the nine clans, and she will still be a fart!

However, Xiao Nuan still took a deep breath and barely calmed down, "Thank you Zhang Gongzi for telling me the truth." ”

After Zhang San vomited depressed, he shook his head and sighed, very confused.

Xiao Nuan suppressed the turmoil in her stomach and asked, "What are your plans for the future when Childe returns to his hometown this time?" ”

"I don't know. In the middle of Beijing, Xiaosheng found that it was not easy to be an official, and Xiaosheng really couldn't do such a trick and intrigue, even if he was a showman, his career would be bumpy. ”

"If you don't study and become an official, Xiaosheng doesn't know what else to do......" Zhang Sanyou went to the capital, and had a new understanding of officialdom and himself, and his parents set up a life goal for him since he was a child It was difficult to achieve, and he fell into unprecedented confusion.

Xiao Nuan couldn't help him at this point, "Our cloth village's business is getting better and better, at least the son doesn't have to worry about his livelihood anymore, you might as well think about what kind of person you want to be in addition to studying and taking the top prize?" ”

Zhang Sanyou nodded, "Xiaosheng has been reading the book of saints since he was a child, and he is useless other than that. Although what the girl said is reasonable, for Xiaosheng, it is tantamount to a blind man's argument - I don't know what is a thousand purples and thousands of reds, how to know which is the best grade? ”

Xiao Nuan nodded, "In that case, Childe might as well try many times while he is young and find his own way." ”

"Tree Road?" Zhang Sanyou smiled wryly, "It's not easy to talk about." ”

Xiao Nuan opened her mouth, she said the way of the road, not the way of "the way, the way of the extraordinary"......

But after all, isn't your own way your own way?

Because Chen Zumo's affairs were messed up, Xiao Nuan was also a little dizzy.

"Everything starts from scratch, and Xiaosheng plans to start with the things around him. I don't know if there are any things in our cloth village that Xiaosheng can do? Zhang Sanyou fell to the ground first.

His words frightened Uncle Xin and looked at Xiao Nuan for help.

The business in the store is just better, if the young master intervenes and comes in, and then reads a lot of words or a penny or a penny, the customers will have to run away again.

Xiao Nuan also thought of this, and hurriedly smiled, "Our store is lacking a bookkeeper, the son is literate and can take on this responsibility, if you don't give up?" ”

Zhang Sanyou nodded immediately, "You can give it a try." ”

After finalizing the matter, Xiao Nuan casually took two pieces of cloth back to the small courtyard, and after handing them to her mother, she sat under the laurel tree in the courtyard and thought about things, no matter whether the matter was true or not, what should she do now is the best policy.

When Rhubarb saw it, he ran over and rubbed his body, pressing his head on Xiao Nuan's leg, and Xiaocao also came over and lay on her other leg, looking up at her.

Xiao Nuan went to the ground for his sister and Rhubarb Shunmao, and there was only one thing in his mind - how to get rid of the father-daughter relationship with Chen Zumo as soon as possible, and one day he would be burned to himself and Xiaocao by playing with fire!

If he came directly to the door and said that he was out of the father-daughter relationship, Chen Zumo would definitely not agree.

He also relied on his sisters to restrain her mother and prevent her from "ruining" his reputation!

You can't come in the right way, you can only come in reverse!

Xiao Nuan stood up, she had to do something to make Chen Zumo feel unbearable, and took the initiative to expel her and Xiaocao from the house.

What to do?

Find the door and beat him with a stick, or point at his nose and scold him?

Xiao Nuan shook her head, after being expelled from the Chen family like this, she and Xiaocao would not be able to enter the name of the Qin family - Lizheng Qin De would not agree, and her grandfather Qin Sanhao would not agree.

It seems that only if Chen Zumo wants to marry the new daughter-in-law has worked hard, it is best to let the three county lords of Chengping see that she and Xiaocao are not pleasing to the eye, and take the initiative to expel them from the Chen family.
