Chapter 461: From the bottom up
Li Xia listened to Mrs. Yan's sigh and said that she would not return to Mrs. Yao, and laughed, "The old lady must not come back, before she went to invite, didn't the eldest aunt think of it?" ”
"I thought of it, but I didn't think of it, I didn't expect it, I said so, but you are married to the prince of Qin, I thought, no matter how she doesn't care about the overall situation and others, she has to think about it for herself...... Alas, you're right, I'm confused, she's not much worse off losing her mind at this moment, alas, what now? On the list of the Ministry of Rites, there are a lot of things that should be done for her. ”
"Let the prince talk to the Ministry of Rites, and say that the old lady has achieved success in Qing cultivation, and she doesn't want to be disturbed by such mundane affairs, so that it hinders her from cultivating for diligence, anyway, this dynasty is a monk who cultivates gods and immortals, and puts everything out of his body, regardless of it, there are many things in our family, and there is not one more of her."
Li Xia was very calm, Mrs. Yao would not return to the house, she had already thought of it, this old ancestor moved himself out of the city, completely with Yongning Bo Mansion, and the Li family to cut off all posture, in the past few years, everyone in the capital has long been aware of this matter, and it is a joke to put on any reason at this time, it is better to admit this matter generously, that old ancestor, the otherworldly immortal cultivator.
"Well, that's all it takes." Mrs. Yan frowned, and after a moment, her brows opened and gathered up, and she wanted to laugh again in desperation, and she stretched out her hands and sighed, "Alas, what do you call this!" The old lady's temper ...... Alas, how can this man be so bullish-minded? What is this called? ”
"I see that the second aunt is getting more and more like an old lady." Li Xia thought about Mrs. Guo's second wife, looked at Mrs. Yan and reminded her.
Mrs. Yan's brows that she wanted to relax just now twisted up again, and after a moment, she sighed with great annoyance, "She didn't understand when she was young, your second uncle was a fool and a bastard, and her life was not easy...... Alas, forget it, don't talk about this, it's not a hurry, it's useless to be in a hurry, let's talk about it later. ”
Mrs. Yan waved her hands in annoyance.
"Well, by the way, the fourth brother went out, yesterday I heard Mr. Guo come back and say that there is a small county in Qingzhou Mansion, it seems that there is a vacancy, Mr. Guo said, Qingzhou is a place where the Bai clan people live, the folk customs are good, and now the Qingzhou Mansion Yin has a good character, and it sounds like it is not bad."
"Did you tell your fourth brother?" Mrs. Yan immediately got out of her troubles, and this is the big thing.
"Not yet, I have to talk to the eldest aunt about this first, and then discuss it with the fourth brother and the fifth brother." Li Xia said with a smile.
"You kid, hearing you say this, I think it's good, Mr. Guo and General Bai seem to have a good relationship? Mr. Guo asked me to help him prepare four or five gifts for General Bai Xiao. ”
"It is because of this that Mr. Guo fell in love with the small county of Qingzhou, in Qingzhou, there is the Bai family to take care of it, at least there is no major event."
"Since that's the case, then Qingzhou." Mrs. Yan's decision was crisp and crisp.
"Do you want to write a letter to the uncle and ask the uncle to give him an idea? Anyway, there's no hurry. Li Xia hesitated a little, but still asked.
"No, you don't." Mrs. Yan refused, her face was slightly gloomy, "Your uncle is on Qinfeng Road, he doesn't know much about the capital, and he has ...... in the past few years."
Li Xia looked at Mrs. Yan and lowered her eyelids.
Uncle accepted a daughter of a poor and talented family in Qinfeng Road, it is said that she is a talented girl, and the poems that the two sang and harmonized were passed back several times, and the love came out through the paper, rich and rich.
"This is also true, if you talk about knowledge, the uncle is far worse than the uncle." Li Xia quietly comforted Mrs. Yan, "Grandma was full of praise when she mentioned the eldest uncle, saying that our family has a great uncle, otherwise, this uncle's mansion, not to mention today's weather, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even be comprehensive."
Grandma said this, and the prince also said so, saying that our family, the real backbone of the family, is not the uncle, but the uncle, and it is the greatest blessing for our juniors to have the eldest uncle. ”
"Look at your sweet mouth." Mrs. Yan's heart was sour and warm, "Uncle is just looking at you, as long as you are good, what is there anything bad?" ”
Li Xia talked to Mrs. Yan for a while, walked out of the warm pavilion, and walked halfway to Mingcui Courtyard, Hu Ying came over, saw Li Xia, hurriedly took a few steps to meet him and said with a smile: "Girl, Mr. Guo asked someone to hand in the message, saying that he wanted to see the girl." ”
Li Xia frowned slightly, motioned for Hu Ying to go back, took Duan Yan, and turned around to go to the second gate.
Li Xia entered the pavilion closest to the second gate, went out, and invited Guo Sheng in.
Duan Yan stood outside the pavilion not far away, Guo Sheng saw the salute, and said in a low voice: "Girl, just now there was a letter from Shaoxing handed over, saying that someone came to Shaoxing to inquire about Fugui and painted a portrait, I let Changgui see it, and said that it seemed to be a steward surnamed Hong next to Su Ye, but it was easy to inquire, this surnamed Hong, a few days after Fugui left, he left the capital, and just came back yesterday evening." ”
"Does the rich have a tail behind him?" Li Xia's eyes narrowed slightly, and immediately opened again.
"There shouldn't be, the rich and the silver are both cautious, and I let the rock keep an eye on it, if someone embellishes it, it is impossible to hide both the wealth and the rock." Guo Sheng replied cautiously, there are too many capable people in the world.
"Even if you don't keep an eye on it, when things come out, you can guess it, they are all smart people." Li Xia's tone was calm, and Guo Sheng's frowning brows were relaxed again.
"How's going on in Jiangyin?"
Guo Sheng lowered his head, "There is no movement yet, or ......" I will take a trip later, Guo Sheng quickly swallowed it without saying it, how big is this movement when he walks, alas, he is not one of the ant-like beings who no one looked at before.
"It's a matter of opportunity, you have to be able to endure it, and you can't be in a hurry." Li Xia looked at Guo Sheng, who was obviously guilty and impatient, and frowned.
"Yes, I was thinking that Xie Yucheng's term of office would expire at the end of the year...... It was me who was wrong. Guo Sheng didn't finish speaking, he met Li Xia's slanted gaze, and hurriedly admitted his mistake, he was too impatient.
"Xie Yucheng is transferred, the new constitutional division, I'm afraid that it is still the person selected by Su Xiang, what is the difference between this and that?" Li Xia said politely.
"It's that I didn't think it through." Guo Sheng hung his head.
"Don't say that this is the other thing, it is a once-in-a-lifetime, fleeting opportunity, and it is also impatient, patient, at most this opportunity is gone, if you make a mistake in impatience, it is not that the opportunity is gone, but that a catastrophe is coming. The opportunity is gone, there is the next one, and if the life is gone, then there is nothing. ”
Li Xia's voice was soft, and when he heard Guo Sheng's ears, the words were stern.
"It's me who is impetuous." Guo Sheng lowered his head and lowered his eyes.
"Well, you go to the palace for me, and tell the prince that the old lady has achieved success in cultivation, and she doesn't want to hinder her cultivation because of mundane things, so let him talk to the Ministry of Rites, and let the fifth brother go again and renegotiate those regulations."
Li Xia changed the topic, Guo Sheng hurriedly agreed, and withdrew with his hands down.
Li Xia watched Guo Sheng go out of the second gate, slowly descended the steps, and walked back while thinking about what Guo Sheng had just said.
She didn't know Su Ye as well as Jiang Yanshi, she had heard many trivial things about Jiang Yanshi from Gu Liu, and Gu Liu almost didn't say much about Su Ye.
In the past, after the death of the twins of the second prince and the third prince, Su Ye was sick at home and almost stayed at home, after Bai Yue died, he left home, and after that, she didn't pay attention.
Su Ye was so careful that he asked people to go to Shaoxing to check Fugui, but he was stupid and very interesting, a foreigner, asked around about Fugui, a local snake who has been rampant on the ground of Shaoxing for many years, this matter must not be hidden from Fugui, didn't he think of it?
I really didn't expect that people who have been standing at the top since the day they were born would not know, let alone imagine those who were low in the mud, and when they looked up, sometimes, they could see more clearly.
Such a smart person, when the Jiangyin incident happened, he must have been able to guess something, and then what? What will he do?
Li Xia thought about what Su Ye had done one by one, he was a steadily advancing encroacher, so he would not let go of the opportunity to bite off a large piece from the prince's family......
