Chapter 51: Seize power

The candidate for the secretary of the ministry has been found in the household department.

In the Chunhui courtyard, Zhou Bin looked depressed, Sun personally cut the puff pastry roast duck and served it, Zhou Bin didn't eat it, and said hatefully: "The emperor has decided that the secretary of the ministry will be the second son of the Duke of Dingguo." There is no room for manoeuvre. ”

Sun's face was sluggish: "Impossible, Xiao Guifei ...... she"

Zhou Bin tore the wings of the roast duck fat, "Concubine Xiao didn't take it seriously at all. Your Sun family is such a waste! ”

Sun felt that his face was beaten, and his eyes were full of fire, "It's all because Lin Yu didn't help us!" And Zhou Zheng, the little goblin! ”

Zhou Bin's eyes were poisonous: "Zhou Zheng is really the reincarnation of a goblin, originally I thought that Qingxiangzhuang was opened by someone she knew, but I didn't expect that Qingxiangzhuang was under her name!" ”

Sun was stunned, "She's just a yellow-haired girl, how can she have a business vision......

"I've found out." It is not difficult for Zhou Bin to find out whose name Xiangzhuang is.

Sun's eyes flashed fiercely: "Then what are we waiting for?" Go straight to kill Qingxiangzhuang! Also give the big house a look! ”

It is said that the Sun family is also deeply aggrieved, since returning home, every time the big house is calculated, it is in turn calculated by the big house, and the Sun family has been suffering dumb losses, and he can't say it.

She's always looking for a chance to win it back.

Zhou Bin stroked the plum blossom lines on the celadon cup, and his eyes darkened, "You go find me a few splashes and go to Qingxiangzhuang to make a noise." You can't even do such a thing, right? ”

Sun hurriedly said: "Husband, the concubine will definitely do it properly." ”

The Sun family is also the daughter of Mrs. Sun in the Xiping Hou Mansion, but now by Zhou Bin's side, she cowered like a maidservant, holding duck meat in both hands and sending it to Zhou Bin's mouth.

But Zhou Bin said with a disgusted face: "If you can't even do such a trivial thing, you don't need to see me again!" ”

Zhou Bin himself would not do such a trivial matter, in case something happened, there would be Sun's top bag.

And at this end, Zhou Jinxuan is inspecting Zhou Yuheng's studies. In fact, Zhou Yuheng is talented and smart, and he is very diligent in his studies, but for some reason, as soon as he saw Zhou Jinxuan, Zhou Yuheng was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Zhou Jinxuan shook his head, very disappointed, and threw the book on the ground, "You can't memorize such a simple poem!" Go back and copy the whole book three times! The next time you take the test, if you still can't answer, you will ask for guilt in the ancestral hall! ”

Zhou Yuheng lowered his head, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhou Zheng was outside the window, and when he saw Zhou Yuheng's dejected appearance, he sighed.

I have to find a way to persuade my father and let Zhou Jinxuan know Zhou Yuheng's talent, otherwise, Zhou Yuheng's courage will be scared smaller and smaller by Zhou Jinxuan.

Someone walked in and said to Zhou Jinxuan that the old Duchess wanted to see him, so Zhou Jinxuan got up and left. Zhou Zhengzheng hurriedly went in, helped Zhou Yuheng up, rubbed his knees and said, "Does it hurt to kneel?" You, obviously know how to memorize, where will it be difficult for you to fail in your studies, why can't you say a word in front of your father? Father won't eat you again! ”

Zhou Yuheng relaxed when he saw his sister, but when he thought of copying the book, he pouted and said, "Sister, Yuheng don't copy the book, sister help Yuheng!" ”

Zhou Zhengzheng said distressedly: "Okay, but you have to remember that your father is all for your good." You go and get pen and paper, and my sister and you go to your room to copy together. ”

The siblings left.

In the old Duchess's room, Zhou Jinxuan sat very unnaturally.

Just now, the old duchess threw all the fruits on the red plate on the ground, and scolded Lin Yu for not being virtuous, "This family business was laid by the old country's grandfather, and she will take care of it, she is the master?" Even ignore the flesh and blood born by the grandfather of the old country? If it weren't for her, how could the secretary of the ministry rob the second son of the Dingguo Mansion? What do you do with your wife? ”

It's just a heart-wrenching sentence, Zhou Jinxuan lowered his head and listened to it.

"Mother, this promotion is the emperor's decision, Ah Yu also entered the palace to see the queen mother twice, but her ability is really limited, and she can't help, so please don't blame my mother." Zhou Jinxuan said.

"She didn't help at all! You still speak for her! Okay, you, you have a wife and children now, but your wings have grown stiff, and you don't even believe your mother's words? The old Duchess tapped the ground with her crutches, and the more she talked, the more excited she became.

"Mother, that's not what my son meant......" Zhou Jinxuan is a filial person, I really didn't expect that this time I went to the border, the old Duchess would have such a big contradiction with Lin Yu, but he loved Lin Yu, and he was in a dilemma all of a sudden.

Two slaves and maids had already gone up to pat the old Duchess on the back, and the old Duchess was relieved and continued: "Lin Yu won't help your second brother this time, but you can't just forget it, otherwise, wouldn't it make outsiders laugh at the brothers of the Duchess of the Guogong Mansion, and the concubines are not compatible?" Now that the matter has come to this, Lin Yu's position as steward must be handed over! ”

Zhou Jinxuan was stunned, "Mother, Ah Xuan is the duchess of the dignified country, or the niece of the queen mother, if she is seized of power, I am afraid that she will ......"

The old Duchess snorted coldly, "She did something wrong herself, and she can't be punished?" What about the Duchess? What kind of business is hers? As for the Queen Mother, as long as she writes a letter and tells the Queen Mother that it is her own meaning, will the Queen Mother still take care of our family affairs? Don't defend her, it's settled! ”

Zhou Jinxuan is so majestic in front of outsiders, but in the face of the old Duchess of the country, he spoke hesitantly, and it took a long time before he said: "Mother, this matter, let my son think about it again, okay?" ”

"Bang!" The old Duchess threw a white jade bowl on Zhou Jinxuan.

"You unfilial son! Ahem, ahem! ”

The fragments of the bowl cut through Zhou Jinxuan's hand, and blood flowed out, and the old Duchess didn't even look at it.

For this eldest son, the old Duchess has never liked the second son.

Especially when he ignored her objections, he rehired and married Lin Yu, who was so tall after Lin Yu passed the door, but he still doted on his wife like his life.

The old duchess did not like her son to be too good to his wife. It is her son, and he is to put her first in all things, and listen to her, and his brother is like a brother, and his wife is like a garment.

Zhou Bin didn't love his wife and concubine very much, and at that time, it was the old Duchess who valued the power of the Sun Mansion to let Zhou Bin marry Sun, and Zhou Bin was more obedient than Zhou Jinxuan in marrying a wife. How can this not make the old Duchess love it more?

"Mama Yu, please tell the kitchen to stew lily pear paste for your mother." Zhou Jinxuan stood up, and Mama Yu knew that Lily Sydney could cure the cough of the old Duchess of the country, so she was ordered to go out.

The old Duchess pointed at Zhou Jinxuan and said, "If you don't let Lin Yu hand over the housekeeping rights, you won't care about me." ”

Zhou Jinxuan bowed deeply, "Mother, please calm your anger, the child will go first, and when the mother is in a good mood, she will come to her mother again." He turned around and left.
