Duan Baoqi realized it when he heard it.

No wonder!

As far as Shi Qi is concerned, even if someone sees him enter the Chengguo Mansion, they can't imagine that Jiang Muyuan will go to him, and the little grandfather has specially picked such a person.

Duan Baoqi solemnly responded, and after returning to the study, he and Cheng Guogong overturned most of the flowing water mat folds that had been written.

The next day, the excerpt was handed to the imperial study, and the saint smiled after reading it: "The manpower and safety matters are considered very carefully, why is this dish a little out of hand, too light, right?" ”

Cheng Guogong hurriedly explained the reason why "poor people suddenly have big fish and big meat, and it is easy to hurt the stomach".

When the saint heard this, he bowed his head and said, "It does make sense, and since this is the case, let's do it first." ”

Cheng Guogong responded and breathed a sigh of relief.

The saint was also in a good mood, and the anger accumulated in his heart in the past two days dissipated, so when the queen mother mentioned to him that he was counting the manpower of each palace and each court, he didn't ask too much, and he responded in one bite.

Take Cheng Guogong's silver to sort out the situation of the victims in Beijing, and count the heads of the harem, one does not pay money, and the other saves money, which is quite similar, and he is satisfied.

The Queen Mother mentioned it, and it was arranged everywhere.

The cold palace and Yongxiang were personally run by Xiao Zeng's father-in-law.

On the one hand, it was entrusted by Jiang Muyuan, on the other hand, these two places did not have the attention of the master, and the housekeepers were used to running rampant, and the heads of the Qing people were pulling money from them, and no one would be willing to hand it over.

Rao went to Xiao Zeng's father-in-law in person, but he still encountered some twists and turns in Yongxiang.

The old eunuch in charge didn't dare to come with Xiao Zeng's father-in-law, but he still had the same style of procrastination and disobedience.

Xiao Zeng's father-in-law was like a mirror in his heart, and after watching the old eunuch stumble for a few days, he directly found the fault of the little chamberlain below, crackling a board, killing chickens and monkeys.

The old eunuch was honest all at once.

Another chamberlain who was eyeing the position of the eunuch in charge immediately came to Xiao Zeng's father-in-law and picked up the old eunuch's bottom to the sky.

The inventory of the harem lasted for ten days, and there were more than 100 people who were cleared out of the empty salary.

Especially in Yongxiang, there are those who do not report their death and continue to receive money, and there are those who are so sick that they are half dead and all the money goes into the old eunuch's pocket.

When Jiang Muyuan arrived at the Cixin Palace on August 11, Xiao Zeng's father-in-law looked for an opportunity and said it carefully.

"It should be Gonggong Deng," Xiao Zeng's father-in-law lowered his voice and said, "According to several chamberlains in Yongxiang, his leg was broken shortly after he was sent to Yongxiang.

Everyone knows that he protects Father-in-law Gu, and there are a few servants who have suffered losses at the hands of Father-in-law Gu to make trouble and make him angry.

I don't know where the person has gone now, and they all say that they haven't seen this person since they came to the Yuan last year. ”

Jiang Muyuan bowed.

The identity of that stumbling son has been confirmed, but whether he is the old chamberlain who appeared next to Sun Rui ten years later with a completely disfigured face and a broken leg is still being further verified.

Thinking of this, Jiang Muyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Sun Rui, who had stepped into the Palace of Compassion.

Today, the eldest son of the second highness Sun Miao is full of 100 days, although it is not a big deal, but the royal family still has to come to the queen mother to add some gifts.

Sun Rui and Brother Sun Zhen came together, met Jiang Muyuan, and greeted each other.

Sun Zhen asked, "What did the two of you say?" ”

Jiang Muyuan did not answer.

Xiao Zeng's father-in-law was polite and said with a smile: "The little grandfather cares about the queen mother's health and wants to know how her old man is resting and eating these days." ”

Sun Zhen seemed to ask casually, and he didn't seem to care about the answer, so he nodded indiscriminately and counted.

Seeing this, Sun Rui made a round for Sun Zhen and praised Jiang Muyuan: "A-Yuan has always cared about the imperial grandmother, and when it comes to filial piety to the imperial grandmother, none of us is as good as you and Sun Ke, so I am really ashamed." ”

With a few polite words on their lips, Jiang Muyuan looked at Sun Rui quietly, with a question circling in his mind.

Why did Sun Rui choose Zhao Zhiyu?

In other words, why did he choose Zhao Tongzhi, the capital of Mingzhou.

The final candidate was decided by the Queen Mother, but Jiang Muyuan had already understood the ins and outs of the matter.

In the list written by Sun Rui, there are several girls who are not in Beijing, but in Beijing, Zhao Zhiyu stands out from the crowd, and if he picks one of them, he will only pick her.

If the old chamberlain is indeed Gonggong Deng, and he is doing things for Sun Rui, it is Sun Rui who took the initiative to abandon Jia Ting and choose Zhao Zhiyu.

Where is Zhao Tongzhi better than Jia?

Moreover, the old chamberlain is from Shaozhou, and the distance between Shaozhou and Mingzhou is only a few hundred miles, so it is not necessary to arrive in one day, will it be a coincidence?

Suddenly, the cry of a baby sounded in the palace of compassion.

Sun Xu cried.

The crying was accompanied by the laughter of the adults.

The voice of the eldest princess of Anyang is also among them, and Kuasun Xu cries loudly and confidently, which shows that she is in good health.

The queen mother also likes spiritual children, and she personally hugged her and coaxed her softly, and when Sun Xu fell asleep again, she was reluctant to hand over the child to the grandmother.

Jiang Muyuan, Sun Rui, and Sun Zhen entered the inner hall together, and took out a longevity lock for the child as a 100-day gift.

The eldest princess of Anyang had sharp eyes and said strangely: "It's strange, it seems to be the one that Ah Yuan wore when you were a child, right?" ”

Jiang Muyuan bowed.

In this way, Sun Miao was taken aback.

Longevity locks and jade collars are common when giving gifts to children, but if you don't like it very much, you usually don't give it away from what you wore when you were young.

Sun Miao was surprised: "Don't you keep it for your son?" ”

Before Jiang Muyuan could answer, Sun Ke, who was sitting on the side peeling peanuts, laughed first: "His daughter-in-law hasn't entered the door yet, and his son is even earlier." ”

"I think Xu'er is kind, don't shirk with me," Jiang Muyuan glanced at Sun Ke as he said, and continued to say to Sun Miao, "In the future, my son will wear Sun Ke's, anyway, his son will be even more gone." ”

The wedding date is set in March, and the wedding date has not yet been finalized, of course, Jiang Muyuan is better.

When Sun Ke heard this, he was so angry that he threw Jiang Muyuan with a peanut shell, but he turned around and avoided it.

The Queen Mother listened happily to their conversation, and pointed at the two of them laughing.

Sun Ke pushed a small plate of peeled peanut kernels in front of the queen mother, and said with a smile: "Imperial grandmother, you better hand over your little nephew to grandma, he is here, you can't even laugh out loud, so how can I make you happy?" ”

The queen mother agreed, and asked the grandmother to take the child to the side hall to rest.

This attitude also understands that she likes her great-grandson, but in her heart, Sun Ke is still the most favorite.

Sun Miao's mother is not from a high background, he has not been valued and liked since he was a child, and he has also developed an indifferent temperament, and he does not like to compete with his brothers for favor.

Besides, no one can compete with Sun Ke.
