Shen Xiaoyu already knows a lot about handicrafts, and she knows what material is worth and what price.

Coral is already rare, but now what is in front of me is such a large bonsai, or a rare variety, how much does it cost? The gold sticker of the Ministry of Industry is estimated to be sent out next year!

The emperor looked at the coral scene in front of him, and his heart was mixed, and he wanted to cry and laugh.

Crying is distressing about money, and the money in the household department is not blown by the wind, just so that the people in the yamen can have no distractions. The laughing thing is that this Wen Xi is really not very angry, and he did such an eyeless thing? !

There are also a few officials from the Ministry of Industry who are present today, and their expressions are similar to Shen Xiaoyu, but Wen Xi is a scholar, and everyone is in charge of everything in the yamen, so they can only endure it even if their eyes are bloody.

The Queen Mother looked at the big pot of coral scenery, sighed, and didn't say anything, but the expression on her face was not very happy.

Wen Xi was not happy when he saw the Queen Mother, and he was a little puzzled, he thought that he would be in the limelight, but now it is good, he punched the cotton pile, and there was no echo at all!

Shen Xiaoyu was speechless, and whispered in Qin Huaijin's ear: "Why do you say he is doing this? All the courtiers' congratulatory gifts are simple, just because he made such a big fanfare, and he spent money not to please him! "Wen Xi's congratulatory gift today is a smash.

Qin Huaijin replied in a low voice: "The Wen family has not been an official in the court for two generations, and it is basically impossible for them to pay attention to what is the way to be an official. ”

Wen Xi's situation is still quite special, the way of the ancestors as an official has not been passed down, there is no edification at all, and there is no experience accumulated from the bottom step by step, so this situation will be caused now.

After a round of gifts, it was the music square to dance, but the queen mother was no longer in the mood to appreciate the dance, so she got up and left.

The emperor's mood is much brighter, and the queen mother will not ask more about the Wen family in the future.

When the banquet was about to end, the Queen Mother sent someone to call Wen Xi away.

"Auntie, I ......" Before Wen Xi's words were finished, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother.

"Shut up, are you going to me off?" The Queen Mother was really angry, she didn't do it according to the Emperor's intentions, but in order to give the Wen family a chance to perform well, how much effort was made, but it was all spoiled by a pot of coral!

"I asked you how you prepared before, and you patted your chest and promised me that you would be a blockbuster, saying that you would give me a surprise, and this is the surprise you said?" The Queen Mother covered her heart, this is a fright, right?!

Wen Xi didn't know what he had done wrong, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the most luxurious and face-saving gifts he gave, how did he become like this when he arrived at the Queen Mother?

Looking at Wen Xi's blank face, the Queen Mother scolded angrily: "Originally, the birthday banquet was held to reflect the emperor's filial piety, you are good, now everyone in the world knows that the Wen family's wealth is extravagant, and the royal family is extravagant!" "How many people have to poke them in the back? In the past, the clan relatives had been expelled from Beijing by the emperor because they regarded human life as a matter of mustard, and now these cronies of theirs must also be cautious in their words and deeds, otherwise the evening will not be guaranteed.

Wen Xi didn't expect such a relationship, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Ask my aunt to show my nephew a clear way!" "It must not be planted because of this incident, he is the last hope of the Wen family!

The Queen Mother sighed, at the beginning, in order to reassure the first emperor, his father deliberately did not let her peers or juniors enter the ranks in order to reassure the first emperor, and the Wen family did not let her peers or juniors enter the ranks, but as a result, people did not enter the ranks, and her brains were not cultivated according to smart people, and now this nephew is so clumsy and dull, she doesn't know who to blame.

"Okay, get up, it's not impossible to turn around!" The Queen Mother can't really watch her nephew get stuck here when she first enters the career, so she has to find a way to remedy it.

As soon as he heard that there was a remedy, Wen Xi said, "Auntie, please say, as long as my nephew can do it!" ”

The Queen Mother sighed and said: "All the gifts sent today will enrich the treasury, and they should be taken from the people and for the people!" "It's nice to say!

The treasury is under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and then the emperor must also be handed over to Qin Huaijin to deal with, this is good, she has a big birthday, the smell of blood and water is all for her to stain, but the last mutton fell into Qin Huaijin's hands!

When Wen Xi heard this, he hurried to thank him, just have a remedy!

"Okay, if you don't have any brains to do things in the future, it means that the wealth of our Wen family will stop here, and you won't have to fight in the future, and you can't fight for it." The Queen Mother was also helpless, and the road could be paved as she wanted, but unfortunately their Wen family's foal couldn't do it and couldn't run.

As soon as Wen Xi was about to retreat, the Queen Mother remembered one more thing: "By the way, are you having trouble with the county lord of Chaoyang?" ”

"Aunt knows?" Wen Xi asked: "Then the county lord of Chaoyang and the squire Nie Frame colluded, if I don't suppress it, I'm afraid the two of them will join forces to deal with me." ”

"Stupid!" The Queen Mother was really angry: "Behind Nie Frame is the Right Prime Minister Nie Yuanhuai, do you think the Wen family's current power is comparable to the Right Minister?" At this time, if you don't think about how to win over people in the yamen, you are still pushing people to the opposite side! ”

Wen Xi explained: "The husband of the county lord of Chaoyang is ......"

"I know it's Qin Huaijin, if you had the idea of letting you fight, you should give up now! So who is Qin Huaijin? Born in the champion, he studied under a famous family, and he came up little by little, there is nothing he can't do all the things that the emperor has explained, not to mention his peers, those old guys in the court don't dare to provoke, how can you fight with such a person? The Queen Mother said: "The imperial court is the emperor's court, give you a chance to go to the Ministry of Industry to make a name for yourself, do you really think that the Ministry of Industry is a yamen who fishes in troubled waters?" Yao Cheng entered the cabinet before he entered the cabinet council, and said that this Chaoyang county lord Shen Xiaoyu also has the emperor's support, do you dare to provoke her? The Ministry of Industry is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and if you do it well, it is not impossible to go straight to the cabinet like Yao Cheng! What's more, Chaoyang is a little woman, she is a character in the yamen, she can't get in the way of anyone's business, people don't have to stand in line to live well, so why bother to stand in line? ! The Queen Mother's face became more and more red when she said this, because he was not thoughtful enough.

"It's my nephew who is stupid!" Wen Xi was really heartbroken, and when he came, he stabbed the hornet's nest!

The Queen Mother has a headache on her forehead, since the matter has happened, she must quickly remedy it.

"You go out of the palace first, think about the rest of the matter, and if you don't understand it, you can resign quickly, no matter how much you mix in the officialdom, your life will be lost!" The Queen Mother said, if it weren't for that piece of material, it would be useless to carry it, and it would be considered to leave a blood vein for the Wen family.

Wen Xi had no choice but to leave the palace first, and Qin Huaijin on the other end also went to the emperor.

At this time, the emperor couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "I really let Aiqing say it accurately." ”

The idea was given by Qin Huaijin from the beginning, and the emperor didn't give Wen Xi a chance, yes, rusty iron can't hit the white blade, Wen Xi is too bad, just an empty letter post without any words can play Wen Xi, how can such a person be of great use?

"It's the emperor's wisdom." Qin Huaijin returned: "Now the treasury is more or less recouped. "After all, Wen Xi is not the only one who wants to rely on the Queen Mother's birthday to show his ambitions, and this birthday gift is very impressive!

When things are sent to the Queen Mother, it is the Queen Mother's, how difficult it is to pick money from other people's fingers, Qin Huaijin knows, and the emperor also knows that now in order to let the Queen Mother take the initiative to take out things, they have no other way, the money will never be enough, and now for them, they have both filial piety and benefits, killing two birds with one stone!

When Gong Yan ended, Qin Huaijin came back to find Shen Xiaoyu, and after leaving the palace together, he got into the carriage and prepared to go home.

As a result, before the buttocks were hot, there was a noise in front of them, and the carriage stopped.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xiaoyu looked at it, everyone was worried about going home quickly to get warm on a cold day, why was there still trouble on the street?

Qin Huaijin was also curious, so he asked the coachman: "What's going on in front?" ”

The coachman said: "It looks like the carriage of the Wen family and the Du family's daughter is scratched, and no one will let anyone in front?" ”

"Which Du family?" Shen Xiaoyu asked.

The coachman pointed to the pattern on a carriage and said, "This is the family pattern of the Du family in Jinyun Prefecture, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it." ”

Shen Xiaoyu was very surprised: "Do you know this?" "My own driver seems to be a bit remarkable!

"What our young master ordered to remember, naturally you have to know!" The coachman laughed.

Shen Xiaoyu looked back at Qin Huaijin, and Qin Huaijin said: "You use a carriage on weekdays, and you are afraid of encountering troublesome people, so you can hide if you can, and you will be less involved in right and wrong." ”

"Hehe......" Shen Xiaoyu smirked, she always thought that Qin Huaijin would be able to do it outside the house, but Qin Huaijin could always do a good job in such details, she couldn't find it on weekdays, but every time she found out, she always felt that Qin Huaijin was a great love saint!

"Let's take a detour home." Qin Huaijin said: "They can fight as much as they like, let's hurry home in this cold day!" "The daughter of the family is still waiting!

Needless to say, the Wen family is not easy to mess with. King Wu'an is a king with a different surname who was canonized when the first emperor was still alive, and when he reached this generation, he was already Wu'an, and the status of the earl was not low. Although he does not bring troops now, the Wu'an Earl's Mansion is still very prestigious in Jinyun Prefecture, and the current Wu'an Bodusen is the leader of the Kyoto Honor Guard, which is considered to be a bit of a leader among the military attachés. But......

It's just a carriage scraping, and the two are not small people in the market, even if they have the temperament of the small people in the market, they will fight once if they catch up with these two?

Qin Huaijin felt that this matter was a little strange, and he didn't know if there was something boring, so it was better to stay away at this time.

When he got home, Shen Xiaoyu went to see the children first, and then quickly washed up and wanted to sleep.

Qin Huaijin said at this time: "It is estimated that you will return to the yamen on an errand tomorrow." "Although Wen Xi is a fool, the Queen Mother is an understanding person, and after today, Wen Xi should also take action.

"Huh? Why? Shen Xiaoyu said, recently, Wu Yun has been telling her about the Yamen every day, except for Wen Xi's command, there is nothing special, why can she suddenly return to the Yamen?
