Chapter 318: The Court Argues
Seeing that An Mingchen was really worried about An Wanru, Li told the events of that day from beginning to end, worried that An Mingchen would be angry, and was anxious to help An Wanru explain, "Mother assures you that this matter really has nothing to do with Wanru, although she is a little jealous of Feng Wanwan in her heart, she also wishes that the child in her belly would have fallen early, but you know best what kind of character your sister is, she is a knife mouth tofu heart, and if she gives her two guts, she can't do such a thing." ”
An Mingchen naturally believes that An Wanru, a discerning person can see at a glance that this is a bureau, and the person who set up the bureau is to frame the second sister. It's just that he is so vicious and willing to spend money, and it is a little difficult to get back into a game, plus the second sister is impulsive, I am afraid that she will be in trouble again these days, otherwise, King Hong would not have deliberately come to him to say this.
It's just that it's really difficult for him to come forward in this matter, so after thinking about it, he decided to let the Li family go to the palace to see the situation in order to improvise. I sat in the gazebo for a while before going back. Huangfu Xue was looking at the account book and saw him come in, glanced down and continued to be busy with his own affairs, An Mingchen saw this, sighed helplessly, walked up to her and sat down.
"What are you doing so close to me?" Seeing that he didn't move, Huangfu Xue got up and prepared to move to the side. An Mingchen stretched out his hand and pulled her to him, stepped forward, and said with some apologies, "I'm sorry lady, I was wrong." For a few days, Huang Fuxue was wondering, when An Mingchen would come to apologize to her, when would he realize that this matter was his problem, the more time passed, the more worried he became, she was about to be unable to bear it, but he finally opened his mouth. I was happy in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face,
"Lady, today I only found out why you were so angry that day, I'm sorry, I thought it was too simple, I thought that after what happened that day, she would understand what it meant......" But he underestimated people's hearts and underestimated possessiveness. Thankfully, he understands now, and it's not too late.
"Why did you suddenly figure it out?" Huangfu Xue was a little puzzled. Today's events are not a secret, and they should spread soon, An Mingchen carefully considered it and said today's events from beginning to end. I thought that Huang Fuxue would laugh at him after hearing it, angry and unhappy. When he finished speaking, there was no expression on her face, and An Mingchen was a little puzzled for a while.
"Lady, are you in a bad mood, I'm really sorry, today's incident is really just an accident, if I knew that this would happen, I would definitely not go to this dinner." An Mingchen anxiously explained, and Huangfu Xue was still slow and expressionless. An Mingchen's mouth was dry as he explained, and after half an hour, Huangfu Xue finally spoke, "Now you know that I am good to you." If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. That Miss Jimma has bad intentions towards you at first glance, aren't you quite smart on weekdays, why don't you have a bad head at a critical moment. ”
"Yes, yes, what the lady said is that this time I was indeed negligent, and I will take more precautions in the future to ensure that no one will take advantage of the loophole." An Mingchen held her in his arms and smiled happily. The most correct thing he did in his life was to come back with his father-in-law and marry his mother. Otherwise, he doesn't even know what he will become now, what kind of life he will live. Even if she will get married, the lady must not be as empathetic as the lady.
"Since you want to repent, you must have some sincerity. Let's take a look at these ledgers. Huangfu Xue pushed him away, pointed to the account book on the table, got up and stretched, "I'm tired, eldest sister, third sister has been watching me make money, but I don't know how hard I work every day." Although the money is really exciting, the fatigue also makes me miserable. ”
"Lady, can we have a discussion, so much, the husband will see when he can finish reading." An Mingchen glanced at the half-foot-high ledger and couldn't laugh. Huangfu Xue also seemed to feel that she was a little unkind, waved her hand, and said very generously, "Don't be in such a hurry, I can't finish watching today, and there will be tomorrow." ”
An Mingchen had no choice but to accept his fate. At the same time, he thought in his heart, he must be cautious in the future, he can't let him catch the loophole anymore and pull it to be a coolie, calculate carefully, the recent account books seem to be read by him, and each time there are different reasons, so that he can't refuse at all.
"Wait a minute, that brocade box that Miss Jimma gave you. You put it there. Huangfu Xue turned around suddenly, looking at An Mingchen with a strange look, An Mingchen's hand holding the account book was slightly dough, and his face was full of desire to survive, "Don't worry, lady, I have already returned Songxi to her." In the future, if you want to give the lady a thrush for the husband, you can use the lady directly. I promise not to make the lady jealous. ”
"Who is jealous. An Mingchen, what nonsense are you talking about. You repeat. The mind was exposed, and Huangfu Xue suddenly blushed. I took the book next to me and threw it over. An Mingchen stretched out his hand to take it, and coaxed with a smile, "Yes, yes, what the lady said, I'm jealous, I'm jealous." Seeing that the lady is unhappy, I am even more unhappy than the lady, so the lady, don't be angry in the future, okay. ”
"Flim, look at your ledger." Huangfu Xue went to wash, and An Mingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis was lifted, and finally a good life was over. God knows how depressed he has been these two days. That night, An Mingchen had a rare comforting sleep, and the next morning, the emperor led the ministers to personally send the envoys away. Jimma kept staring at An Mingchen, his eyes full of reluctance, and those who were present at the time could see it as long as he was not blind.
An Mingchen was neither humble nor arrogant throughout the whole process, looking like he was doing business, and everyone suddenly lost interest when they saw this. After returning to the palace, the people of King Hong's faction used this matter to attack An Mingchen, and above the main hall, they insisted on their own words. "Your Majesty, although An Da keeps saying that he and Miss Jimma are innocent, but Miss Jima is so heartfelt to Lord An, if Lord An has always behaved and never done the slightest thing about bilberry, why is Miss Jima so desperate. Therefore, Weichen thought that An Daren should be more or less responsible for this matter. ”
When the New Party faction heard this, they immediately quit. "Lord Wang, according to your meaning, there is a woman who likes you and stalks you, you didn't do anything, and you did it wrong?"
"This ...... It's not the same thing at all. Don't be forceful. Lord Wang didn't expect Lord Huang to speak so directly, and he was annoyed and angry for a while. Lord Huang didn't care about it at all, and continued as if he hadn't seen it, "That's what Lord Wang meant just now, why can't things be understood so much when it comes to Lord Wang, or in Lord Wang's eyes, everything has to look at people, and everything has a double standard?" ”
Engaging in double-standard arguments in front of the emperor, who dares to be so bold, Lord Huang simply wants to kill him. Lord Wang glared at him in anger, "This official doesn't reason with you. "Stepped forward to salute the emperor," Your Majesty, Weichen is talking about things, this matter is indeed caused by the improper behavior of Lord An, and Weichen thinks that Lord An must restrain his words and deeds to avoid similar things from happening. This time, the envoys of Fanbang did not take advantage of the topic, but we had to pay attention to it......"
"Lord Wang is really funny, Lord An is obviously a victim, why is it that you are talking about it as if Lord An has done something inferior to a beast. Or what I said just now, if Lord Wang agrees with the official's point of view, then the official also agrees with yours. Lord Huang made it clear today that he wanted to protect An Mingchen, and when Lord Wang saw that none of the other people around him stood up to help, his face suddenly became a little ugly.
"It's just nonsense." Lord Wang couldn't help it, flicked his sleeves indignantly, and turned back to his position. Seeing this, a touch of pride flashed on Lord Huang's face, "The lower officials are just talking about things, what is Lord Wang doing so seriously." After Lord Huang finished speaking, he turned to look at the top of the main hall, "We gathered here to discuss national affairs, or don't waste time on some inconsequential things." ”
"What Lord Huang said is extremely true. Some time ago, I told you about building a dam granary, and you have an idea. "In the past few years, there has been either drought or flood, and disasters have occurred sticky, but they have no choice but to resign themselves to fate, and after discussing with the ministers, the emperor decided to strengthen the dams in the south of the Yangtze River and build some granaries in the drought area in case of emergency. It's just that this matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to really do, no, this issue has been raised for a long time, but there is no specific rule until now.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen thinks that the flood is raging, and the dam built should not only be strong, but also higher, so that it can also cause some damage under the crotch, in addition, we can let the people living downstream move upstream, and the farmland near the river should not be cultivated......"
"No, it won't work." An Mingchen strode forward, and after saluting the emperor, he said directly, "Jiangnan is a water town, and more than half of the people live by small streams and rivers, not to mention farmland, even those villagers can't say that they will move away, plus everyone misses the old, their ancestors have lived in one place for generations, and the court suddenly asked them to move to other places, they must be very disgusted, and when the time comes, it was a good intention, but it has become a kind of harm to the people." ”
"Lord An has such an idea, so you might as well tell me what you think about this matter." Lord Wang and An Mingchen didn't deal with each other, seeing that what he said was the truth, but he had been currying favor with the emperor, and he didn't say anything useful, with a face full of disdain.
"Thank you Lord Wang for reminding me, Xia Guan didn't have a clue just now, but now, Xia Guan does have an idea." An Mingchen looked at the emperor and continued, "The emperor just said that the northwest arid region should build a granary, and last time Weichen also proposed that there is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not more in all seasons of the year, and the Jiangnan region can build a water storage place according to the northwest, and the rainwater will be enclosed in the flood season, and it will be used to irrigate crops when the drought occurs." When the emperor asked Jiangnan officials to build a water storage tank, it was better to be by the river, by the river, so that it could not only block part of the damage, but also use the rainwater. ”
"There is some truth in what An Aiqing said, I don't know if you have any better suggestions?"
