Chungui watched the canal slowly descend from the roof, and immediately disturbed the sleeves of the chessboard that had already shown defeat, and raised his hands at Uncle Zhao: "Convincing and convincing, raising the white flag and bowing to the wind." β
The previous breath was still trying to turn defeat into victory, and in the blink of an eye, he simply abandoned his son and admitted defeat!
Uncle Zhao said that he was amazed by the unpredictability of women, but he was not reluctant to return to the spring, and he must stick to the fine character of becoming more and more courageous, he slowly picked up the chess pieces, with a smile like a spring breeze on the corner of his lips: "It's still early, how can Huihui spend time?" β
"I haven't visited the fourth aunt for a few days, and I ate the roasted meat specially sent by the fourth aunt yesterday, so I should go back to thank you."
In order to meet with Qu Gui, Chungui found a very reasonable excuse that could not only get rid of Lan Ting.
The fourth aunt has a big belly at this time, and there are many inconveniences in moving, even if Lan Ting is not a foreign man, it is not easy to follow to visit, and it just happened that she did receive the favor of the fourth aunt yesterday - it was a hot summer, not to mention that the fourth aunt was still pregnant, and the diet should not be hot, but the fourth aunt preferred a bite of hot meat, and now she can't eat it, so let the maids roast and smell the aroma of the meat, and in line with the family rule of not wasting food, the fourth aunt sent some of the hot meat everywhere, especially knowing that the spring return is also good, and the rebuke eagle garden will send more.
Today's spring return brought a box of potato cakes as a return gift, how is it not reasonable?
But since it was an excuse to visit and thank you, of course, Chun Hui still had to go to the fourth aunt's residence first.
The fourth lady was also bored, and when she saw the spring return, she laughed first: "Aren't you serving the sick, how can you get out today?" β
"No matter how sick you are, you can't eat the fourth aunt's roasted meat for nothing without thinking about repaying the peach?"
The fourth lady's eyes were set on the food box brought by Chun Gui: "What kind of food is it?" β
I couldn't wait to uncover it myself, and said while eating, "This ingredient is a potato, right?" Where did it come from? β
"It was given by the palace, but the fried potato cake was created by the uncle, and he loved to specialize in these when he was idle." Chungui smiled.
Potatoes are also considered foreign, they are imported from the West, and now only in the Huangzhuang are planted, dignitaries and dignitaries must rely on the imperial gift to taste a mouthful, and it is generally rewarded in the palace on the New Year's Day, but this time Lanting was "injured", Emperor Hongfu in order to apologize, specially rewarded a basket of potatoes, Uncle Zhao took advantage of the leisure to try to make new tricks, he tasted it well, and asked Qiao Zhuang in the spring, and made a special trip to ask Qiao Zhuang to make sure that there was no taboo for pregnant women, so he took it to the fourth aunt as a gift.
"Only Brother Ting has this ability in the Mantai Mansion, it's a pity not to be a chef." The fourth lady was very satisfied, and sighed that Zhao Xiu had entered the wrong business.
Chun Gui accompanied the fourth lady to talk for two moments before getting out, and found an excuse to go to the garden to choose branches, so that it was convenient to listen to the funeral affairs.
"Sun Chongbao? What kind of character is this? Chungui asked.
Qu Chu spread out his hands: "I just heard Master Tao mention Miss Tao, and none of them said it in detail." β
"Whoever this is, at least one thing for sure." Chungui frowned and said: "Even if the Fan family is murdered by Gao Qiong, there are indeed people who have arranged to lure Gao Qiong into the urn, and even if we don't intervene, this case will not end because of an accident, and the person behind Sun Chongbao must be the one who turns the clouds and rain." β
"So you asked me to stare at Miss Tao for the purpose here!" Qu finally came to his senses: "But this time it's really unintentional, compared to the insinuations in the past, Tao can personally admit that she should have married Zhao Lanting this time, although she is still under the guise of a dream, I look at her tone and demeanor when she speaks, it is indeed like I have experienced it myself!" After being divorced, she starved to death, and it is said that she was still blind later, so it is no wonder that she would rather die than repeat the mistakes of the past, and she resented Zhao Lanting's brothers and sisters like this. β
"Do you believe that Uncle Zhao will give up from the beginning to the end?" Chun Gui asked.
Qu Chu pondered for a while, and then said: "Seeing Zhao Lanting's treatment of you, and Tao Shi's mouth is like two people, and although there is a common saying that you know people and don't know your heart, but in my opinion, Uncle Zhao is not so bad, Xu Zhen is not compatible with these two words." β
"Why did the Tao family fall into such a situation, she didn't say a word, it is impossible to be implicated by the abolition of the grandson." Chungui said.
"Even if Master Tao is implicated by Feng Yuqi, he is not a high-ranking official, he is not as good as his Lao Tzu's ability, his life and death are not enough to relate to the rise and fall of the family, and as far as the current situation is concerned, even if Master Tao was killed by Song Guogong's father and son, it is difficult for Song Guogong to protect himself for this matter, and he does not have the ability to completely clean up the Tao family, maybe it is because of the abolition of the grandson?"
"That's even worse, I'm afraid that the grandson didn't take the Tao family into his eyes at all, and it is impossible for the grandson to be deposed until ten years later." Chungui shook his head.
"Do you want me to stare at that Zhang Qi girl in Cao Guogong's Mansion again?" Qu asked again.
"This matter is not in a hurry, let's take care of Fan Da's matter first, I feel more and more suspicious that Fan Da didn't mention Fan Er, but Fan Er is indeed the key to this crime! You can't enter the imperial city, can it affect you to go to the Song State Mansion? β
"What is the impact of this, don't look at the Gao family is a relative, in terms of regulations, it is not as good as the threat of the Taishi Mansion to the Yin Spirit, but avoid some of his family's ancestral halls, there are a lot of imperial gifts enshrined there, I dare not approach." After saying that, Qu Chu floated away and rushed to her next job.
And for Miss Zhang Qi of Cao Guogong's Mansion, the spring return is not completely impressed.
Zhang Chuang, the Duke of Cao Guo, is the Empress Dowager of Shengci
Brother, if you want to talk about the foundation of the Duke of Cao and the Duke of Yu, they are both both poor families, and they were knighted only when their daughter entered the palace, and Cao Guogong was even knighted when his daughter became the queen mother - Zhang Chuang almost attacked the knight directly, because his father was very happy and sad when he heard that his family had become a prince.
Not to mention that Zhang Chuang's daughters have not been able to marry into the high gate, even if the first three granddaughters have not been able to catch up with the "good times", although the fifth and sixth granddaughters have married better, but because of the concubine, the marriage is still a little unsatisfactory.
So at the celebration banquet given by the emperor of the Taishi Mansion last time, although it was said that the female relatives of the Cao Guo Mansion also came, of course, the Zhang Qi girl who was preparing to marry did not attend, and the spring return did not see this, but it did not prevent me from hearing the boasting of the Zhang family's daughters, all said how good the marriage of Zhang Qi girl, how good the fiancΓ© was, and this was still a royal marriage, the emperor's mouth, and the decree of the Empress Dowager Shengci.
This matter is not news, but the Cao Guo Mansion is willing to be publicized as news, and no one at the scene raised any objections, compared to the queen's maiden Yuguo Mansion, the Cao Guo Mansion is the mother family of the present after all, no matter how penniless the Empress Dowager Zhang was when she was the first emperor, but in the end, "glory to the top", those who prefer to pull the root of the court and despise the nouveau riche are not so bold to target the emperor's mother family, and the well-educated women may disdain the self-exaggerated style of the Cao Guo Mansion. But they don't talk about others behind their backs, making people embarrassed on the spot.
So Chun Hui also heard that the future husband of Miss Zhang Qi, is Zhen Huaining, the sixth lang of the Zhen family, this is a talented man in Kyoto who is as famous as Lan Ting, although he has not yet taken the exam, but it seems that no one will doubt Zhen Huaining's future future, after all, the Zhen family is also an official family, and there have been two cabinet scholars, and now the head of the family Zhen Dian is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and there is great hope to enter the cabinet, Zhen Huaining is Zhen Dian's grandson.
However, Chungui also heard the old lady at home muttering in private, saying that if it weren't for the Cao Guo Mansion lobbying the Empress Dowager Shengci to give an order, and under the entanglement of the Empress Dowager Shengci, the emperor personally summoned Zhen Dian to propose this marriage, the Zhen family would not look down on the Cao Guo Mansion at all as a grassroots relative, and this marriage was like a twisted melon - it couldn't be sweet, and there might be many jokes in the future.
The implication is that the character of the seventh girl does not seem to meet the standards of everyone's ladies.
From these only known circumstances, it is not difficult to judge that Tao Fanglin planned a marriage for himself in order to get rid of the catastrophe in the "Dream Omen", and it seems that this marriage needs the strong assistance of the Empress Dowager Shengci to be completed, no matter which good person Tao Fanglin has taken a fancy to, Chungui does not intend to harm her good things, so there is no need to let Qu Chu stare at Zhang Qigirl.
As for Tao Fanglin's "Dream Omen" about the part of the Lan Ting, Chun Gui didn't take it to heart, as far as her understanding of Lan Ting, it is impossible to believe the provocation of the old lady and the second sister, and then snub and alienate Mr. Tao Fanglin, if Lan Ting believes that Herou's death is Tao Fanglin's mastermind, it should be Tao Fanglin's poisonous hand, and as for Tao Fanglin's tragic abandonment and starvation, there should be another reason, in short, Chun Gui does not believe that Lan Ting will be abandoned from the beginning to the end.
Compared with Tao Fanglin's so-called "dream omen", Chungui believes in his eyes more.
Now what bothers her is not even the mastermind behind the murder of the Fan family, this murder case has attracted the attention of Lan Ting, Chungui believes that although he is difficult to detect for a while, he will definitely not give up the investigation because the Song Guogong Mansion deserves it or even the grandson is abolished, and if even Uncle Zhao can't find out this person behind the scenes, Chungui will be even more helpless, and her troubles will be useless.
The dilemma is how to eliminate Fan Da's paranoia, let him let go of the hatred of his life and go to Mingcang, and let him tell the truth in person, but Chun Hui still can't conclude why Fan Da wants to hide the real cause of death of his family of four.
And in this matter, he can only explain to Mo Wenxiao to continue to play his "talent".
Of course, Chun Gui did not give up the investigation of Sun Chongbao, so on this day, she wrote a secret letter again, and still asked Jiang Dong to hand it over, firstly, to arrange for Mo to ask how to do it, and secondly, to tell him and Chai Sheng to secretly inquire about Sun Chongbao's sacredness.
It is certain that Sun Chongbao will have contact with the people behind the scenes, and when Sun Chongbao is found, maybe he will be able to find the people behind the scenes, and he really has to rely on this clue to lock the hand that turns the clouds and rain, and then find a way to remind Lan Ting that it is not too late.
And at the court meeting on this day, Emperor Hongfu finally made up his mind, approved the performance of Shi Yuanhe, the governor of Shuntian Mansion, and ordered Gao Qiong, the Duke of Song, to fully cooperate with the questioning of the case, and whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, they must cooperate with Shi Yuan and the murder case of Chahai Hupu -
So the government and the opposition were in an uproar, because of the hint after the emperor's edict.
It is very likely that the murder case of the Fan family in Chai Hupu is related to the assassination of Feng Xianqi and Shi Defang, and now he is really determined to investigate it to the end.
The next day, at the court meeting, there was a royal historian who admonished him, suspecting that Feng Yuqi's rebellion case was framed, although Feng Yuqi was dead, but hoped that the emperor could order a retrial of the case, if it was really confirmed that Feng Yuqi did not act against him, he should severely punish those who fabricated and framed the marquis, and the innocent people were innocent after returning the heroes.
