Sima Daozi, the king of Langya, has been very troubled recently.

I don't know why, several of his cronies who arranged in the Ministry of Officials, the Ancestral Department, and the Duzhi Department were all involved in different degrees of trouble.

For example, Sima Daosheng, the secretary of the ancestral hall, is the half-brother of him and the emperor, and has occupied the ancestral hall for many years, which is close to home with more money and less affairs, and has a high position of power and responsibility.

Another example is Zhou Guang, the waiter of the branch department, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and conscientious, but he was actually found by a small official under his command that there was a problem with his accounts, and he was suspected of making false accounts. This Zhou Guang has nothing to do with Sima Daozi on the surface, and even Sima Daozi himself can't figure out whether someone is fixing himself or whether it is all a coincidence.

If it's a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence.

His brain was not good enough, and it was too difficult for him to analyze the situation in detail.

Therefore, when the door reported that Nanjun Gonghuan Xuan was visiting, he almost welcomed him in with both hands.

As soon as Huan Xuan heard him talk about the problem, he smiled and said, "This matter seems complicated, but it is actually quite simple. ”

King Langya didn't like others to play tricks, so he hurriedly chased after him and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Huan Xuan said confidently: "There is a cause and effect, everything in the world is like this, King Langya, you only think about your own losses, but you don't think about who benefits from it, and the person who benefits from it is the culprit who causes these things." ”

King Langya thought for a moment and said angrily: "Could it be Xie An, an old horseman?!" ”

The successor of the ancestral hall is Zhu Ding, the in-law of the Xie family, the successor of the servant is Xie An's brother-in-law Liu Ji, and the successor of the Du branch is the Xie family's grandson Xie Gai, which shows that Xie An is plotting against himself and wants to clear all his forces.

The more Sima Daozi thought about it, the more angry he became, how could the Xie family eat alone so blatantly, and let people not be relatives of the emperor, who would be willing to be an official if they couldn't make money? ! No, you must go into the palace to find the emperor's theory!

He made up his mind and said to Huan Xuan: "Thank you Huan Lang for mentioning it, I was almost at the mercy of someone and I didn't know it." He thought for a while and continued, please Huan Lang enter the palace with me, Your Majesty will definitely be willing to listen to your analysis of the situation in the court.

Huan Xuan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, smiled faintly, and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

In the summer of the ninth year of Taiyuan (384 AD), Nanjun Gonghuan Xuan was appointed as the crown prince and began his political career.

At the same time, Hagi Niang was on her way back to Danyang from Liyang, and when she went, there were only three big cars, but when she came back, there were eight.

Hagi Niang looked at the long gift list in her hand and couldn't help but sigh.

As if knowing her thoughts, Cui's mother, who was in the same car, quietly stuffed her with a stack of papers, and she looked at it carefully, it turned out to be the identity deed of Ruan's mother and Cui's mother, as well as the title deed of Jiankang's old Ruan family's house. Hagi Niang Khan, how big is my grandmother's hand.

Cui's mother said: "Mrs. Tai explained, the identity deed of the two of us and the title deed of the Ruan family's house are not on the gift list, the girl should be collected, don't be discovered by irrelevant people." She said these words in front of Li's mother, and she didn't take credit or pretend to be mysterious, obviously knowing Li's mother's status in front of Haginiang.

Mother Li nodded again and again, looking at Mother Cui appreciatively, obviously thinking that what she said was very reasonable.

Hagi Niang asked: "Mother Cui, you are an old man who is used to serving your grandmother, I don't know if your grandmother will be inconvenient without you." The meaning of this was to ask Cui's mother what skill she was proficient in, so that Mrs. Nguyen insisted on giving her to herself.

Cui's mother heard the sound and replied clearly: "The slave has no strengths, but she knows a little about medical skills, and the old lady has been in good health recently, and it is okay to be served without slaves." ”

In ancient times, doctors and witches were not separated, and people who knew how to make medicine were more likely to make drugs, Hagi Niang nodded, indicating that she understood, and did not ask more.

Although she couldn't bring her brother home this time, she believed that he would be able to return to Zang's house soon.

As for the Zheng family, Hagi Niang still has many questions to ask her to explain for herself.

Because the second lady was very considerate and invited the martial artist to be the bodyguard to escort her, Hagi Niang and her party returned to Jingkou smoothly. The servants were busy unloading, so Hagi Niang took Cui's mother with her to ask for peace for the Zheng family.

Maybe it's because of the long gift list, the Zheng family is actually very pleasant, quite a bit of the style of a good wife and mother back then. She asked Haginiang and Cui's mother not to be polite, so she asked Cui's mother, "What do you call Mom?" How did you come back with the girl? But what's wrong with the road? ”

Cui's mother's answer was not leaky: "Back to the master's mother's words, the slave's surname is Cui, and she serves by Mrs. Ruan's side, because Mrs. Tai said that there is only one old adult by the girl's side, and Mother Li is in charge of meals, so I am afraid that she will not be busy, so she sent me to serve by the girl's side for a period of time to give Mother Li a hand." Not only did he point out that he was Mrs. Ruan's person, and he was given by the elders, and the Zheng family, as a junior, could not be disobeyed, but he also claimed that he was only a temporary worker, so it was normal not to give the deed to the master's mother.

Hearing her words, Zheng had already guessed that she was the mother who needed to be used by Mrs. Ruan's side, like a human spirit, but she couldn't say anything, so she ordered someone to take two purses and said, "It's hard work, two mothers take it." It is said that the next generation is pro, and sure enough, Mrs. Ruan loves us Haginiang very much, but she thinks more carefully than my mother. ”

Cui Shi generously accepted the purse, Hagi Niang smiled: "Mother is naturally very good to her son, and she also told Mrs. Tai one by one, so she sent Cui's mother to take care of her son, and her mother can rest assured." ”

Zheng's face turned pale, he glanced at Cui's mother, saw that her expression had not changed much, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's very good, you guys should retreat first, you don't have to come to say goodbye." ”

Mother Cui retired according to her words, glanced at Haginiang's face, and asked, "Girl, Mrs. Ruan told the slave maid to obey the girl's arrangement." If the girl has any thoughts, she can talk freely with the slave and maid, although the slave and the maid are dull, it is also possible to refer to them together. ”

Hagi Niang grinned and said, "It's just to discuss it with my mother, but it's not in a hurry, we still have to sum it up." ”

Zheng watched his stepdaughter leave, and Cuiyu on the side immediately said: "This stinky girl is talking more and more unruly, Madame has to give her a little bit of power." I want to teach her to know that Mrs. is the master mother of this Zang Mansion. ”
