Chapter 19 The Jade in the Stone Can't Live
When he was tossing for Murong Ke's dinner here, Zhao Bifan over there had already eaten and was discussing things with Wei Suo. There were only two henchmen Bai Wei and Bai Qi left around. Bai Zhi has few words and a gentle temperament, but she is better than her clever eyes and good work, so she is sent to take care of the yard as usual, so as not to let in the idle people. As for Bai Shao, she is a pungent and face-dropping person, and when she deals with all kinds of people in the house, she will do it.
"Fan Tong can't take care of things for at least three months, you see, who will be arranged to take his position?" Wei Suo asked in a low voice.
"Sun Fuheng is so concerned about that matter, and he forced me to come here with the identity of His Royal Highness, doesn't he have a good candidate?" Zhao snorted, "Doesn't he just want the outer courtyard to be under his control?" ”
"Then it can't be his way." Wei Zuo gritted his teeth.
He is the chief administrator of the inner court, but if he can't control the outer court, the power in his hands will be greatly reduced, and it will be extremely inconvenient to do things, which is why he inserted his nephew in the outer court. Fan Tong has always been neat, but this time, he is really angry.
"But if you still arrange for your man to go, don't you tell him plainly that I am going to meddle in the affairs of the outer court? I'm afraid, Your Highness will be unhappy. Zhao Shi muttered, "Besides, this matter should have been arranged by him, at most he came to report to me." ”
"Didn't he say today that he would ask his wife to call the shots?" Wei Suo's eyes flashed.
"He is tempting, and if I open my mouth, will I not be right to him?" Zhao snorted coldly again, "The savages in that courtyard are trying to seize the opportunity to make a fuss, and they want to be on an equal footing with me again." I managed to make her lose her momentum, and I couldn't give her any more steps to climb! ”
"Then why don't you choose someone who is not yours or Sun Fuxing to do this thing?" Wei Suo came up with an idea, "Since you can't control Sun Fuheng's people, let's find someone who can't be controlled by anyone." When the time comes, Fan Tong will be fine, and he will find another reason for him to replace him. In doing so, no one will be able to speak. ”
"Who are you talking about?" Zhao's eyes also lit up.
"Lan Wang." Wei Zuo said confidently, "Don't hide it from you, I thought about it all night last night before I thought that he was the most suitable." Lan Wang is honest and brainless, and it was because he was not accommodating in everything, cut off the benefits of many people, and offended people up and down, so he was driven to Zhuangzi. I heard that he is still the same in the Zhuangzi, and the big and small stewards have no way to live, but the harvest on the village has increased a lot. ”
"It turned out to be him." Zhao remembered such a person, and couldn't help but nodded, "I forgot, he is indeed a good candidate." ”
"Using him is the performance of Mrs. with a bowl of flatness, and there is no reason for others to refuse." Wei Suo continued, "Even if Lan Wang is a stone in a thatched house, smelly and hard, but if he has a wooden wedge stuck there, although we can't do anything, others can't do anything. He didn't buy it on both sides, but he couldn't find a mistake. Just in time to buy time, Mrs. Rong carefully considered the following things. ”
Zhao frowned, disgusted with Wei Suo's vulgar speech, but after all, he still said, "It's him." "The best way to get the benefits that you can't get is to let others not get them for the time being, and find opportunities for your own future benefits.
"Madam, now Lan Wang's father and mother are sick, his wife is in charge of the needlework room, and even the children are left to the uncle and sister-in-law to take care of. Madame transferred him back, and gave him a little more money per month, which is really merciful. Wei Suo said flatteringly.
Zhao shook his head, "He is that person, give him more silver, he will not ask for it, why bother to be a good person in vain." The monthly money of the housekeeper is already higher than that of Zhuangzi, and it is enough to reward some more. Don't go too far, or it will be suspicious. ”
"Or Madame is thoughtful."
"Go ahead and do this, lest you have too many dreams at night." Zhao waved his hand, and Wei Suo retreated.
He only walked on the front foot, and the white peony on the back foot came back.
Originally, the Zhao family sent people to reward money, but it was just for show. The kitchen is the most noisy place, and if you give a little favor in front of these people, you will end up with much more than that. It's just an ordinary thing, Bai Shao walked in with a solemn face, and the Zhao family was a little strange.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked.
At this time, Zhao had already moved to the small rest room opposite the reception room, and was crooked on the short collapse by the window, with a man's knee pad embroidered without a stitch. Riding a horse in winter, King Yu wears this thing, and his knees will not be cold. It's just that this summer hasn't passed, and she's just passing the time and thinking about some things by the way. Because there are no outsiders, the four personal girls are all doing needlework on the side.
"It's just some gossip, but the maid thinks it's better to tell Madame." Bai Shao said.
"You girl, what's the matter?" Bai Zhi said curiously.
Bai Shao hesitated, and then told what he heard in the kitchen.
What she meant, if His Royal Highness has such a preference, he has to guard against that little family member named Shi Zhongyu. Or, simply can't keep her. His Highness's reputation has already deteriorated like this, is there another one? In the future, King Yu will be unlucky, and his wife will be unlucky, and a few of them will not be good. Moreover, there are already so many women fighting with their wives for their highness, and now there is another man. No, Shi Zhongyu is not a man, at most he is a teenager. But that's also a problem.
Also, Madame means that in the future, the four of their henchmen will choose two for King Yu to take over the house. If such good things befall her...... My own men eat it for both men and women, and it feels very uncomfortable.
As soon as she finished speaking, the women in the room were taken aback.
Zhao frowned and groaned.
She has been married to Murong Ke for seven years, although she is not very close, but after all, she is an old husband and wife, but she doesn't know that he has this hobby. Therefore, Bai Shao's words, she was only half-convinced. After all, people change.
Back then, she fell in love with Murong Ke's talent and appearance, but when she got married, she realized how hard it was to live with a husband who would never fall in love with anyone. But she didn't regret it. She felt that as long as she could climb to the right position next to him, everything would be worth it.
Just like the attitude of vacancy in the management of the outer court, what you can't get yourself, others can't get is the best result. Because, as long as she is close enough and patient enough, she will always get more than others.
It's just that low-level family...... It made her inexplicably a little uneasy.
"Look at you, say anything back." Bai Wei saw that Zhao's face was uncertain, and blamed Bai Shao, "What kind of person is Your Highness?" Those mothers-in-law have pickled thoughts, if you don't go up and smack her two mouths, forget it, still keep it in mind, and give me a mouth. ”
Among the four confidants, Bai Wei ranked first, because she acted like a lady, so the two people who gave it to His Royal Highness to receive the room chose to occupy one of them, and her words carried a lot of weight.
Bai Shao brushed her mouth stupidly.
She is not selfless, and if she behaves faithfully to her wife, maybe the second place will be hers. Angelica Angelica has a soft temperament and is unbearable, and she can't help her wife even if she accepts the house, but she just abandons her son. But Bai Qi's appearance is better than her, if she doesn't shine elsewhere, I'm afraid of falling behind.
Zhao Shi heard Bai Wei say this, and his expression was relieved.
Yes, His Highness has always been a bad man, and he will not suddenly be interested in a boy who has not yet grown up. However, that little family is indeed a little person like a jade. It's not a lot of beauty, but it looks exquisite, and it has a smart and lively spirit, which is really eye-catching.
"Can you ask why Mrs. Zhou said such swear words?" She asked slowly, with no joy or sorrow on her face.
Bai Shao was stunned.
She was in a hurry to come back and show her loyalty, but she was really negligent.
Seeing her lower her head, her face flushed, and a light of contempt flashed almost invisible in Bai Qi's eyes. But she held her breath and didn't open her mouth until Zhao called her, "Bai Qian, it's too late now, you go tomorrow and find another mother-in-law to inquire about the reason." ”
That Zhou's mother-in-law had a bad mouth and couldn't save things, if she asked her, she might not know where this word would go. Some people will talk nonsense until they die. And such things as being a good man and raising a young man are not uncommon among high-ranking officials and rich people, but they are all secret, and they are all upright and gentlemen on the surface.
So this kind of rumor is not good after all, if Mrs. Lady's personal maid comes out and asks in a big way, wouldn't it be a loss of face for King Yu? The point is, it will give others the misconception that everything is true. King Yu's side concubine sent people around her to investigate this kind of thing, even if it was fake, it was true.
At noon the next day, after the Zhao family was busy with the day's arrangements in the palace, they had dinner, and Bai Qi came back and told him in detail what he had heard. Not only did the Zhao family order, but it also brought more shocking news.
"What?" Zhao was so shocked that he brought the tea cup to the ground, and the fine white porcelain Feifeng Peony Cup fell to pieces, "You said that he knocked over His Highness's food, His Highness not only did not punish him, but also used him to drop the tea set given by the emperor, and ate at the same table with him!" Not only the Zhao family, but the other three girls all turned white.
What a privilege! No one, no one has ever enjoyed! It's just a low-level family, why is he? Although Murong Ke is willful and often does unbelievable things, he has a limit. But why, has this floor changed?
"How's it going today?" Zhao gritted his teeth and suppressed the vibration in his heart.
"According to the eyeliner we put next to His Highness, today is very calm. His Royal Highness still eats the food from the East Kitchen, but it is not made and delivered by Shi Zhongyu. His Highness didn't summon him either, and he practiced his sword all morning. ”
"Your Highness may it be a whim?" White Peony interjected.
Zhao didn't speak.
It's not impossible, but it's too unusual for her to take lightly. If it is true that Murong Ke fell in love with a man for a while, it would be fine, but he would be tired of playing in the future and get rid of the matter. But the two things of dropping the royal cup and eating at the same table were like two huge thorns, and they pierced her heart.
Unfortunately, she couldn't move. That would make Murong Ke angry. She knew the man too well, or rather, she was afraid of him, because nothing had ever escaped his eyes, and how callous he was, she knew deeply.
can't be for such a low-level family, can't be for this trivial matter, and waste the eyeliner she finally settled!
But just because she can't move doesn't mean she doesn't move at all. She can move secretly, or move later.
In any case, the jade in the stone cannot live.
