Cui Hao nodded and sighed with a serious expression, "Grandfather is old, he is sick, it is really difficult, I want to retire for a few years, and I want to take my grandmother back to Qinghe's hometown to worship my ancestors, this may be the last time he will return to his hometown." ”

The old prince sighed, "I'll talk to the emperor." ”

His expression was a little more sad, he took the wine and drank it all, smashed it and nodded, "Good wine, let your grandfather come and have a drink with me another day, I haven't seen this old fox for many years, I'm old, and there are few old friends left." ”

With a sigh, people are old and miss the old, Zilan doesn't know that she can't see him at all with those books, it is a little fate left by her own grandfather who is qualified to enter the door.

Zilan sighed when she came out of the palace, and she couldn't believe it, things went so smoothly, so she asked the old prince to agree to support her, and she felt like she was dreaming.

"I just agreed, and I didn't ask for any conditions, it's too easy."

She looked back at the majestic gate of the palace and muttered.

The tenth prince shook his head, "Silly girl, it's your grandfather's face, it was my Uncle Wang who asked your grandfather to recognize the governor back then, but I didn't expect that it was my Zhou family who killed him, and Uncle Wang has always felt sorry for your family." After dealing with my unpromising brothers, Uncle Wang withdrew from the court.

He said that I have never done anything bad in my life, but this incident is not good, regret has been caused, I just hope that I will live a few more years, and I will have a chance to make up for it. ”

Zilan suddenly realized that her father and the Song family were able to come out smoothly like this, but they were actually stained with the shadow of their ancestors.

"I see."

Back at the mansion, Mr. Cui asked, "I've seen someone, so I agreed." ”

"Well, yes, it went well, didn't you already know."

Zilan lowered her head and was not in a good mood, but after all, she was still stained with the light of the dead.

Old Man Cui smiled, "It doesn't matter whose light it is, it's important to do things well, don't lose the face of your ancestors." ”

"What you're saying is that I'll do it with my heart."

Zilan nodded.

"Let's go back, I see that the treasurer's preparations are almost complete, the key is to learn how to use the emperor and people, and it is far better to choose those who are capable than to choose those who are practical and can be controlled."

Zilan tilted her head and thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "You mean that capable people are also ambitious, and they may not be willing to be controlled by others for a long time, especially to obey a woman's orders, right?" ”

"Yes, there are two sides to everything, and they must check and balance each other, you look at that martial arts arena, many officials have a clear temperament, and they are actually not suitable for business, but why does the emperor still arrange them there."

Old man Cui taught Zilan how to go to the royal throne and open his mind and pattern.

"Because of stability and fairness, it is just enough to restrain those who are too slippery-minded, they can't be angry with each other if they don't like each other, and they don't conspire with each other."

Zilan's eyes lit up and she immediately understood the mystery here, so that the emperor and the prince sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and controlled the martial arts arena so that it would not get out of control, which was actually the same as the court and the house.

Old Man Cui nodded with a smile, "That's right, some people are obviously talented but I don't like them, not because of personal enmity or hatred, but because his character can't do great things."

For example, Old Man Li and I have been cultivating successors for more than ten years, and each of us has four candidates who are now working in Zhongshu Province, but in fact, I have only seen one or two people in my heart, and one of them is chosen to be our successor.

At the same time, the one who loses the election does not mean that the ability is not enough, but will serve as the supervisor of the two prime ministers in the future, to curb and supervise to avoid too one-size-fits-all, which is why the prime minister is also divided into left and right meanings, and I also have deputy ministers under me, all of whom belong to different factions, and the relationship between them will be said for several days. ”

Old Man Cui looked at Zilan with kindness on his face.

"I understand, but it's not necessarily foolproof when I use it, and I need to think about it carefully.

I'll show you the list when I've made it. The treasurer has more positions, I see that some of our brothers are also quite good, this time the market is doing a very good job, I plan to send to the treasurer to do things. ”

"Yes, first choose someone who has a reputation for merit, has the ability and is steady and down-to-earth, and can listen to advice. If it's too flamboyant, put it first. ”

Old Man Cui nodded.

Zilan also breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to the house, with the help of the old prince to deal with the affairs of the clan, those people would not be too embarrassed about themselves.

I felt a little lighter, and I was in the mood to sit down and have a cup of tea, and suddenly remembered that I had agreed to invite Yuan Ying.

immediately wrote a post and handed it to Yunxiang, "You help me go and give it to my two sisters, Yuanying and Yan'er." Ming'er invited them to my yard for tea after noon. ”

"Yes."

Yun Xiang answered and went out with the post.

Zilan saw Xue Yin coming back, picked it up and kissed it, "Xue Yin, where did you go to play?" How did you get dirty? ”

"Aim."

Xue Yin screamed softly, arching her hand with her head, and Zilan stroked it with a smile.

Sitting on the soft couch of the concubine, leaning back, gently stroking Xue Yin, the little thing made a snoring sound in her comfortable throat.

Flipping over and taking a jade bottle out, Xue Yin looked up happily.

Zilan pursed her lips and smiled, giving it a drop in its mouth. This is the spiritual dew on the body extraction elixir, the effect is not as strong as the medicinal effect of the body quenching spirit wine, but it is very suitable for novices who are just starting to use it.

Xue Yin didn't refuse to come no matter what, and she didn't see any bad reactions, but her snow-white coat became more and more beautiful and shiny, and there was no miscellaneous hair.

When I was a child, I still had some light gray hair, but now it has turned all silver-white, which is very beautiful.

"Xue Yin, let's study, okay?"

Zilan took two books from the Cui family library and took them out to read, she would read them quietly when she was reading, helping herself to calm down and devote herself to it, and at the same time deepening her memory.

Xue Yin ate Linglu and nestled quietly in her arms, staring at a pair of big glass eyes, listening quietly.

Reading and listening to one made up a quiet and harmonious picture, and after a while, Xue Yin shrank into a ball and fell asleep.

On the second day, Lan prepared the best tea early in the morning, waiting for the sisters to come over in the afternoon to taste tea together.

Today, she also plans to learn more about the girls with foreign surnames.

When she came to the main hall to say goodbye, Zilan wore a mid-waisted dress embroidered with royal blue hosta flowers, which looked particularly good.

"Grandmother, mother, aunt, I invited Yuanying and Yan'er to come to my yard for tea, and by the way, I asked about the situation of the girls with foreign surnames."

"Oh, okay, these two children are still good, they are lively and generous who understand the rules, and their personalities are also refreshing."

The old lady has an impression of these two children, and the impression is not bad.

"I also like these two younger sisters, so I don't want them to come to drink tea and have fun."

"Okay, it's right to drink more and get close to your sisters."
