Chapter 531: Be Honest
Chen took his son and moved into a small courtyard not far from the back house and Yang's, and pointed out the courtyard to the seventh brother, which was the one where Li Wenlan lived in the past, but after half a day's work, the mother-in-law and the nurse were the size of the girl, and the rough servants were all ordered.
Chen and Mama Bai were pleasantly surprised, but also apprehensive, not knowing if this was a good thing, or if it was sweet first and then bitter.
After the two courtyards of the Chen family and the seventh brother were cleaned up, it was dark before Li Xuezhang returned to the house.
Chen inquired about the old man's return, and hurriedly hugged his son to ask for a meeting.
Li Xuezhang returned to the house, but did not return to his own courtyard, first said that in the study, the Chen family knew the rules, and when the master was in the study, it was a big event, and it could not be disturbed no matter what.
Later, she said that in the lady's courtyard, Chen hesitated again and again, did not dare to go over, did not see the master, and did not dare to see the lady before the master's words.
She's moved in now, but I'm afraid Madame doesn't know yet.
I waited for an hour before I saw a few lanterns getting closer and closer, and the old man returned.
Chen was so excited that he almost cried, and hurriedly hugged his son to meet him, seeing that it was really a master, the old man didn't shout, his throat choked, and tears rained down.
She was frightened for a while, and this grievance was helpless and indescribable.
Li Xuezhang frowned and looked at the Chen family who was holding his son and crying into tears, and the seventh brother who was sleeping in Chen's arms, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the lady's anger finally passed.
"Master, you can come back, Bao'er and I have been waiting for you for an hour or two, I heard that you are back, Bao'er and I have been waiting, master, Bao'er has lost a whole circle, crying every day to Daddy." Chen held back his tears, took a half step forward, and gestured to the son in his arms.
"I know, you take good care of Bao'er, if there is anything, go and ask Mrs. to show me, it's so late, Bao'er is asleep, don't wait for me next time." Li Xuezhang had been running around outside for a day, and he was tired, and he was really in no mood to pay attention to these trivial matters at home at this time.
Li Xuezhang crossed Chen's and went straight to the courtyard gate, Chen held the child, and looked blankly at Li Xuezhang, who had not let go of his brows from beginning to end, and the half of the surprise was gone, and he was frightened.
Li Xuezhang really didn't have any mood to pay attention to anything in this mansion.
As soon as he came out of the Xu Mansion, he got a reward. As early as the beginning, a series of wills were issued:
Because of the Xiong family's seizure of property, Chen Jiang was ordered to copy and inspect the Zhao Mansion.
Because of the case of Yang Chengzhi, the county commander of Jixian County, he has made a decree to lock Luo Yuanhang into Beijing.
Because of the bounce of the King of Qin, the famine in Jianghuai and Zhejiang was a man-made disaster, and he made a decree to lock Xie Yucheng into Beijing for interrogation.
Zhao Changhai fell ill and was already guilty of a crime. Su Guangyi also went to the guilty fold, and Xie Yucheng took up the post of Liangzhejiang Road, which was recommended by him at the beginning.
These two things, for the members of the imperial court, are no less than a major earthquake, and for Li Xuezhang, it is a thunderbolt in the sky, and he is scorched black.
How could he be in any other mood?
Changsha Palace, Guo Sheng stood in the shadow outside the corner gate, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer in the corner gate, the corner door opened, the old servant Zhang Xi'an next to Jin Xiang probed the probe, Guo Sheng flashed in, Zhang Xi'an locked the door, took Guo Sheng, along the shadow of the tree, to the Jin Xiang courtyard.
Jin Xiang was going up to the room to talk to Mrs. Min, Zhang Xi'an reported, Jin Xiang lifted the curtain and came out, raised his hand to let Guo Sheng, and went to the side room.
Guo Sheng glanced at the figure of the old lady Min in the upper room, took a few steps, crossed the threshold with a slight bow, and saluted the golden minister, "I'm sorry to disturb the prime minister." ”
"You're welcome. The princess asked you to come? Jin Xiang motioned for Guo Sheng to sit down.
Guo Sheng sat down, "Yes." The princess said that if the emperor agreed to Zhao Changhai's resignation, the prince would be fine. ”
Jin Xiang snorted, he thought the same thing.
"What the princess means, if it is a vacancy in the position of prime minister, first, this vacancy is better left to Su Guangyi, and second, the former Hangzhou Tongzhi Wang Funian, who is newly transferred to Beijing, can be transferred to the degree of support, and the deputy envoy can do it."
Guo Sheng put his hands on his knees, sat down with a respectful attitude, but his words were straightforward.
Jin Xiang frowned slightly, "The three envoys are very important...... Can Wang Funian afford it? ”
"Since the princess said it, she must be able to afford it." Guo Sheng bowed and smiled.
Jin Xiang was a little surprised, "Brother Parrot admires you very much, saying that you are the only one he has seen in his life." Bai Shumi also admired you very much, saying that he invited you to join his door back then, but you refused? ”
"Yes, at that time, I was already under the princess's door." After a pause, Guo Sheng looked at Jin Xiang and said with a smile: "Even if you don't vote under the princess, you won't agree, Bai Shumi is indeed a rare good general, but ......"
Guo Sheng didn't say the rest of the words, but only laughed twice.
A good general is a good general, and if he wants to let him into the scene, he doesn't think much of it.
"That was many years ago, and you threw yourself under the princess very early?" Metallographic was a bit of a surprise.
"Yes, when I was in Hangzhou, I listened to the call of the princess." Guo Sheng's answer was extremely refreshing.
Jin Xiang was a little stunned, "Hangzhou? ”
"Yes. Xiangye, the so-called genius of heaven, extraordinary people, although very few, there are still some, the wisdom and wisdom of the queen mother, the benefit of vision, in the admiration of the extreme. ”
"Okay, I got it." Jin Xiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded.
"I'm leaving." Guo Sheng hurriedly stood up, took two steps back, and went out.
Jin Xiang stayed for a while, and entered the upper room through the secret door that connected the wing room and the upper room.
Old Madam Min looked at him from the kang, "What's wrong?" Nothing, right? ”
"It's nothing, it's the princess, let someone come over and deliver a word." Jin Xiang sat down opposite Mrs. Min.
"Is the princess alright?" Old Madam Min looked at Jin Xiang's expression carefully, this sentence was not only concerned about her wife, but also about Princess Qin.
"It's okay, it's about the three envoys." Jin Xiang raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "Then Guo Sheng said that when he was in Hangzhou City, he followed the princess under the door." ”
"Guo Sheng? He went to Li's house...... At that time, the princess was only five or six years old, and the children of five or six years old ......" Old Madam Min's words stopped abruptly, stayed for a while, and sighed lowly, "This is a matter of ghosts and gods." ”
"That's what I thought too." Jin Xiang leaned back on the pillow, looked at Old Madam Min, and smiled faintly, "Empress Dowager Li is such a person." ”
"Huh?" Old Madam Min was surprised.
"In the notes left by Mrs. Gu's wife, it was said that when Empress Dowager Li first arrived at the Gu family, that is, when she was five or six years old, she told the old ancestor of the Gu family about the major events of the court on the palace, and Mrs. Gu also said that when Taizu was very young, Empress Dowager Li worried about her more than once, afraid that Taizu would follow her."
Jin Xiang laughed, "The ancestor is such a genius, it is said that the ancestor grew up to four or five years old, and the Empress Dowager Li was once happy, but fortunately she was a stupid one." ”
Old Madam Min laughed, "What is this called?" ”
