"His reward is his reward, the mourning family reward is the mourning family's reward, obedient, you sit down and eat some snacks first, come on, bring the gift prepared by the mourning family to the county lord."

The Queen Mother's voice fell, and she saw a little eunuch leading the decree and leaving, Chu Nian smiled and sat down beside the Queen Mother, but she was thinking about what the Queen Mother wanted to reward her in her heart, although she was not interested in the Queen Mother's reward, but she couldn't help but be curious, you know, now she has been named the county lord with a different surname, which is the highest reward for female dependents in Daliang.

Not long after, the little eunuch came back, but the "gift" he was carrying behind him really made the smile on the corner of Chu Nian's mouth freeze on his face.

I saw that the little eunuch was followed by a boy who was about ten years old, which was nothing, but the clothes he was wearing that Chu Yunfeng wore before he died really made Chu Nian feel dazzling, and the face that was eight points similar to Chu Yunfeng, if it wasn't for the fact that Chu Yunfeng was dead, Chu Nian would even think that Chu Yunfeng was faked.

Seeing the child timidly hiding behind the little eunuch, Chu Nian couldn't help frowning, what does the Queen Mother want to do?

"Nian'er, the mourning family knows that you are very sad because of the loss of your brother, even if you behead the evil slave who killed your brother, it can't solve your thoughts, right? This child, I met by chance when my grandmother left the palace the day before yesterday, and the mourning family asked her to bring it back, and in the future, I will ask him to accompany you Chu Xiaolangjun instead of you? ”

Chu Nian suddenly understood what the Queen Mother meant, it was impossible for the Queen Mother not to know that she was not compatible with Xiao Chen's mother and son, but I was afraid that the Queen Mother did not fully trust Zhu Qing, many things were guarded against Zhu Qing, and even now I suspect that Zhu Qing is an eyeliner she arranged in the palace, so she deliberately went to find a child who was similar to Chu Yunfeng and placed it in the Chu family to monitor her.

Seeing that Chu Nian seemed to be reluctant, the Queen Mother spoke earnestly again: "Nian'er, this is also a piece of the mourning family's heart......"

This is to put pressure on Chu Nian, the queen mother's heart dares to live up to it, and a small county lord with a different surname still wants to turn the sky upside down?

After a while, Chu Nian soothed his brows and said, "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager." ”

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and beckoned to the child: "Jun'er, come here, this is your biological sister in the future, and the Zhenning Hou Mansion is your home, do you know?" ”

The child nodded ignorantly, walked over slowly, received the signal from the Queen Mother, turned his head and saluted Chu Nian obediently: "Sister, my name is Chu Jun." ”

Chu Nian smiled and said, "Hello, Jun'er." ”

At this time, it was getting late, and the Queen Mother nodded and said, "It's time for the banquet, Nian'er, you take Jun'er over first, and the mourning family will go when they are ready." ”

Seeing this, Chu Nian had no choice but to get up and thank him, and took Chu Jun's hand and walked towards the outside of Cining Palace, she was still in the palace at the moment, she couldn't have a seizure, so she kept smiling lightly as if she was very intimate with the child, but there was no joy in her indulgent eyes.

The banquet was held in the queen's Zhengyang Palace, presided over by the queen, seeing Chu Jun following Chu Nian's side, the queen's eyes were obviously dark, and between the two compartments, Chu Nianfu saluted, and the queen was alienated.

After seeing the queen, Mu Qing came up and said exaggeratedly: "I know that the queen mother wants to marry you to the prince, after such a long time, you two children are so old?" ”

Chu Nian glanced at her, but did not explain, the news spread quickly, and after a while, someone from the Queen Mother's palace came to inform everyone to celebrate Chu Nian's recovery of his younger brother, everyone was suspicious, and when they saw Chu Jun's face similar to Chu Yunfeng, they probably guessed it, and congratulated Chu Nian one after another, Mu Qing understood the beginning and the end, but the person who was very fond of this well-behaved doll at the beginning changed his face in an instant, and he didn't look at Chu Jun much.

Chu Jun was also at ease at the banquet, the theme of this banquet was only to celebrate Chu Nian's meritorious service, and it was read in Chu Nian's daughter, and the banquet was also full of female dependents, and all the female dependents of the official family were invited, Chu Nian looked for a circle, and saw the Wang family who was talking and laughing with the people around him, but he didn't see Shen Ruan, thinking that it was because of what happened before, and he didn't have the face to come out to meet people.

Wang's gaze met Chu Nian's, and he raised his glass and smiled lightly, but he did his best to look like a lady.

Chu Nian also smiled and nodded, then turned his eyes and stopped looking at her, the Shen family can still be active for a while, just let them continue to run rampant, soon.

The Queen Mother was late, and after greeting for a while, her voice turned to Chu Nian's "gong", "This trip has peeled off the skin of a corrupt official, and Nian'er must be loved by the people now." ”

Chu Nian smiled lightly: "If it weren't for the wisdom of the Queen Mother, the courtiers would not have had a chance to win the love of the people, and the people would definitely miss the Queen Mother even more in their hearts." ”

Hearing Chu Nian's words, the Queen Mother nodded, and saw the Wang family on the side speak: "Now that the position of Tingchuan Changshi is empty, can the court decide on a new candidate?" ”

At this time, the queen interjected: "No, the emperor is worried about this matter." ”

Tingchuan Changshi's position is said to be big and big, and small is small, but it is by no means insignificant, although it is now temporarily managed by the county order of the fifth middle county, the old man is old, who knows when he will go to the west? This person still has to be chosen, otherwise the position will be vacant, what can Ting Chuan do?

The Queen Mother also frowned anxiously at this time, thinking that there was no one to be determined in the Wang family, and at this time, the Queen Mother turned her gaze to Chu Nian and said, "Nian'er has any good ideas?" You've been to Tingchuan, and you know a lot about the magistrates there, and now that the emperor is worried about this matter, it's good that the people in our backyard can give ideas. ”

Chu Nianxin said that this is another test for the Queen Mother, if she really said her personal choice at this moment, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not use it, and she will doubt her, but if she can't say a reason, the Queen Mother will definitely feel that she is incompetent.

I saw her shaking her head and said: "I didn't see it when I chose the courtier, but if I was really in a hurry, the courtier's daughter would have an idea." ”

The Queen Mother suddenly became interested, "Oh? Why don't you talk about it? If it's a good idea, the mourning family will ask the emperor for more rewards on your behalf. ”

Everyone's eyes gathered on Chu Nian's body again, Chu Nian pondered for a while, and then said: "Tingchuan's predicament has not been completely lifted now, the person in charge of Tingchuan must be knowledgeable and talented, not an idle person, the officials and ministers under the long history did not see that any of them could do it, and the people in the court could not be called at will, it is better to recruit talented people from the Daliang country, and in addition to serving the public, at least they can solve Tingchuan's problem." ”

Now Tingchuan is already a fleshless bone, even if the Wang family sends someone over, it can't change the status quo, not to mention, looking at the appearance of the Queen Mother, there is obviously no suitable candidate. From this point of view, Chu Nian's proposal is practical, not to mention, not only Tingchuan needs people, but now the minions of the Wang family have inexplicably gone wrong one by one, and the king of Huainan is eyeing him again, and he always has to add some fresh blood, but the people who are recruited will be concocted according to the previous method, and then buy another wave.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was thoughtful, everyone knew that Chu Nian's proposal was right in the heart of the Queen Mother, and sure enough, after a while, the Queen Mother nodded and said, "Nian'er's opinion is good, but how do you want to requisition it?" ”

Chu Nian shook his head and said: "This requires the emperor to bother, the courtiers don't understand the rules of Da Liang's requisition of talents, and they are afraid that they will be wrong." ”

can't be too obvious, give the Wang family a chance to release the water, so that she can blatantly stuff Ye Yuan into it.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother didn't force Chu Nian anymore, but just nodded and said, "Well, when you look back, the mourning family will ask the emperor for a reward, do you have anything you want?" ”

If it was really a person who had no desires and no desires, he was afraid that the Queen Mother would have doubts, Chu Nian simply didn't do anything, and said with a light smile: "The courtiers want to talk to Lord Shen," she said, she turned her eyes to the Wang family, and said very frankly: "The courtiers have always heard that Lord Shen is good at the art of war, and recently the courtiers are studying the art of war, so they want to ask Lord Shen for advice, and presumably the sister-in-law will not mind." ”

Chu Nian smiled innocently and harmlessly, so that life was not half annoyed, she said it so openly, although Wang felt that something was wrong, but it was not easy to have a seizure, so he had to lower his eyes and said: "I won't mind." ”

Seeing this, the Queen Mother knew in her heart, it turned out that the person Chu Sanniang cared about was Shen Dui, which is not surprising, although a pair of legs were abolished, Shen Dui's popularity in the capital was still very high, and many girls squeezed their heads and wanted to marry Shen Dui, even if they were small, they didn't mind, but if Chu Nian also took a fancy to Shen Dui, then the status of the Wang family would have to be reconsidered.

Although she is the daughter of the prime minister, her status is still far from that of a county lord who has made countless meritorious contributions.

What's more, for the Queen Mother, the Wang family is just a chess piece used to monitor Shen Duan and the Wang family, and Chu Nian's ability may be that they can completely control the entire imperial court, not to mention, she is also followed by a Zhenning Hou Mansion and the Chen family, and now, the Chen family and the Wang family are naturally more important than each other.

After thinking a lot, the Queen Mother nodded and said, "Since the Wang family doesn't mind, then ask Shen Duan to go to the Chu family to find you when he has time, but you kid is really working hard, and he has just come back from the southeast, so why don't you rest?" ”

Chu Nian shook his head and said with a light smile: "Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother, there is no end to learning, and the courtiers should learn more skills to repay the Queen Mother's appreciation." ”

She deliberately said that she was repaying the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother very useful, and praised Chu Nian a few words, and the banquet went on normally, until it was completely dark, and everyone resigned, and Chu Nian also left with Chu Jun and Mu Qing.

When she came, she could take the prince's ride, but when she went back, the prince had no reason to send her again, so Chu Nian had no choice but to get into Mu Qing's flowery carriage, but Chu Jun stood under the car, looked at Chu Nian directly, and refused to get into the car.

After a while, Chu Nian realized something, frowned, lifted the curtain, and said kindly: "Jun'er, we're going home." ”

Chu Jun shook his head, "Sister, I was originally from a slave family, so it's not good to ride in the same car with my master." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian also had a prototype of Chu Jun's origin in his heart, but he felt a little pity, that Chu Yunfeng was still splashing and rolling at this age, this child didn't even dare to get into the carriage, and even more pity that he was robbed by the Queen Mother to send her at a young age, I was afraid that the child's parents were still alive, but because the slave couldn't resist.

"It's okay, you will be the little Langjun of the Chu family in the future, you don't need to lower your posture and come up."

Seeing that Chu Nian was so gentle, Chu Jun seemed to be relieved, and only then got into the carriage with the support of the coachman.
