Chapter 35 Hole Cards

"Hongshan is happy?" Jiang Tianqi had a showdown with his nephew to deal with the situation after the family leader's heart fell, and Mrs. Zhuang, who was waiting for her son to go back in the fourth room, had an ugly face, "Is it confirmed?" ”

Because the days are still shallow, the doctor is not very sure, but he also said eight. Nine is not far from ten. The subordinate sent by Mrs. Wen said cautiously, "Madame came with the old slave to ask Mrs. Gu, if you ...... Hong Shan is really pregnant, what should I do? ”

The corners of Qiu Yulan's mouth, who was also waiting for her husband's return, twitched, thinking that it was fortunate that Chu Yitong was sent back to the yard by Mrs. Zhuang just now, otherwise it would be so disturbing?

However, Mrs. Zhuang's distress was not much less than that of the eldest daughter-in-law, she rubbed her forehead for a while before she said lukewarmly: "What about Hongshan herself?" Is she willing to follow Dan'er, or is she willing to remarry in the future? ”

The man thought for a moment and said cautiously: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, this maid Hongshan has always been honest, and she has not spoken since the incident in April. Even when the lady asked, she only shed tears. Now...... Then it is even more difficult to ask anything. Madame felt, this matter involves the bloodline of the Jiang family, and it is better to ask what you mean! ”

"Dan'er has a lot of children under her knees, and my sister-in-law likes Hongshan so much, and I want her to live a good life......" Mrs. Zhuang didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already very clear, Jiang Yadan has no shortage of children, whether it is a man or a woman. Therefore, Mrs. Zhuang didn't mind that Mrs. Wen helped Hongshan deal with her pregnancy, and continued to follow the aftermath plan that the two sisters-in-law had discussed before.

The man breathed a sigh of relief: "Mrs. Xie instructs, the old slave will go back to Mrs. Xie!" ”

In fact, Mrs. Zhuang's attitude The dealer doesn't need to send someone to ask, but what Hong Shan is pregnant with is the blood of the Jiang family, where does the dealer dare to go beyond the charge and make the decision?

"What kind of iniquity is this?" Mrs. Zhuang sighed and said to Qiu Yulan, "It's just that Shuang'er is not as uncompetitive as Dan'er, otherwise I won't be able to live this day!" ”

Qiu Yulan thought deeply of her words, but she didn't follow her mother-in-law to say that the eldest uncle was not, and comforted her softly: "Mother, don't be so worried, I think that the starling who came that night was also because he drank too much, so he was confused!" ”

"Little Hachi, I think this is the way it is in this life." Mrs. Zhuang touched her sideburns in frustration, and said lightly, "By the way, in two days, you remind me to send some things to the banker's house to give that maid, which can be regarded as compensation!" This maid is really pitiful, she is about to get married, but she just caught up with Xiaoba's evil obstacle and harmed others for a lifetime! In the future, when she comes out of our house, we will have to pack up a rich dowry for her! ”

Mrs. Zhuang has always had a reputation for being vicious and murderous in Beijing, especially in the noble circles related to the Jiang family. However, according to Qiu Yulan's observation, in addition to disliking concubines, protecting shortcomings, and having a really strong personality, this mother-in-law is actually quite easy to talk to.

Otherwise, no matter how much Mrs. Wen values this maid named Hongshan, she is just a subordinate in the end. How many major affairs do the Jiang family need to worry about at present, and Mrs. Wen also sent people to discuss with Mrs. Zhuang three times and twice for the sake of a person next to her-after all, even if they don't ask Mrs. Zhuang to flow the blood of the Jiang family without permission, but they can have an "accident"-this kind of eventful autumn is always disturbed, and it is annoying to change to a bad-tempered housewife!

For example, He's will definitely think that there are a lot of things to do in his mother's family...... Of course, this is also because He's ability to do things is too poor, and she will be annoyed when there are many things......

Qiu Yulan muttered in his heart, and only then did he agree, and the people outside told him that Jiang Yashuang had returned.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and when Jiang Yashuang came in, seeing that he was intact, the hearts they were carrying returned to their stomachs, and they interrogated Jiang Tianqi together to call him what he said in the past.

Jiang Yashuang saw that he had cleared the scene, and he didn't hide it, and said Jiang Tianqi's words 1510. Mrs. Zhuang and Qiu Yulan both frowned when they heard this: "Will things really be like what he said?" ”

"There are too few people in our room, and even our in-laws don't have any particularly prosperous heirs." Jiang Yashuang bowed, "In the final analysis, there are no reliable enough helpers in the court, if this will cause the big house and the third room to collapse, it is easy for our room to fall into a situation where it is difficult to support itself and be beaten back into the army!" ”

The name of the Jiang family's "Jiang Banchao" was only given after Qin Guogong withdrew from the army and entered the court. Before that, although it was said that the Duke of Qin and the Marquis of Jibei had great achievements, it was really not a powerful minister to say that he was far away from the center for many years - let alone covering the sky with one hand and completely overthrowing the emperor like today.

Therefore, if you want to maintain the current status and power of the Jiang family, you must grasp the military power, and reliable court allies are also indispensable.

It's just that......

At the moment, the Jiang family's court allies are really not particularly reliable.

After all, the four Empress Dowager Jiang, Jiang Tianqi, Jiang Tianqi, and Jiang Tianqi under the leadership of Qin Guogong, although they are of the same origin and blood, they have been fighting for power and profit with each other. If you don't have enough people in your own family, how can you let outsiders get in?

The only exception is Xue Chang, who has excellent strength and a deep foundation from the beginning, so he has retained a place in the situation where the Jiang family is dominant.

Even the King of Huainan, who has the identity of the clan, is also looking at the lack of court representatives in the four rooms of the Jiang family, so he is barely qualified to squeeze into this ranks recently.

In other words, the military power and the power of the court, the Jiang family relies on the strength of the people, and the meat has always been rotten in the pot, and their own people come!

But now the two branches of Kui County Man and Jibei Hou have begun to worry about it, once Qin Guogong's branch is also worried, the Jiang family will change from the Wen is their own people to be in charge, and the martial arts are their own people to be in charge, and they have to hand over the Wen and Wu to others - they never thought that there would be such an unlucky moment, and the whole three branches of people have been Ding Wei in less than half a year, and they are not ready to let outsiders take over, so it's no wonder if there is no problem!

Mrs. Zhuang almost vomited blood: "Then what should I do?" Let your father support the people in the third and fourth rooms, or is it aimed at Xue Chang and Chu Xiao? ”

"It's just a plan just in case." Jiang Yashuang shook his head, "Grandfather's condition is stable now......"

"It's best if your grandfather doesn't have an accident." Mrs. Zhuang's voice was low, "If something happens, what are we going to do?" Infighting to the point of letting outsiders take advantage of it and driving our clan out of the court, of course, will not work! But you also know the grudge between the big house and the third room and our room, where can this revenge of killing the son be eliminated? Even if they don't have evidence, don't they count it in their hearts? If one is not good, we may be in the pit when the time comes! ”

Mrs. Zhuang was not very concerned about Qin Guogong's life and death, in her mind, Qin Guogong would suppress her own room if she was alive, if she died, the big house and the third room would be equal to the meat on her own chopping board, and that would be a good day!

Now after listening to my son's talk about the consequences, I know that this father-in-law really can't die - at least not for the past two years!

Although the relationship between the big room and the sixth room is not very cordial with the fourth room, but with them restrained in the court, the fourth room will not be because of the eight. The forces of the ninth layer are all in the army, and they are restricted by the central side, and it is difficult to enter the court from now on!

Immediately he was extremely troubled, "This kind of control is already very sad, if your father wins the love, it will definitely be in the northern Xinjiang, you must go back to Kui County to guard filial piety, the sky is high and the water is far away The contact is inconvenient......"

Jiang Yashuang snorted slightly, and said, "Why should mother be worried? If the child hadn't guessed that the third uncle invited the child to the third room, it would be nothing more than saying this, and the child would not have taken the initiative to agree! ”

"Huh?"

"Ding Wei has been worried for three years, but he is only from his father's and mother's generation." Jiang Yashuang said calmly, "Like children, these grandchildren have only been declining for a year!" Although my Jiang family has only been in business for a few decades, it has a long fortune and a foundation all over the country. ”

"But your generation hasn't grown up yet!" Mrs. Zhuang frowned and said, "Even if it is the oldest Jiang Yayun, although he has been carefully trained by Jiang Tianqiao, he is not necessarily Xue Chang's opponent - and Xue Chang has Cheng Jin, Ding Yiguang and other arms behind him, all of whom have experienced the dispute between the second queen and have been in the eunuch field for many years, how can they be idle?" I don't think Jiang Yayun can threaten them! ”

Speaking of this, he sighed secretly, if Jiang Yadan hadn't learned badly, he was in his heyday at this age, and with his talent, he was by no means easy to get along with, so with Jiang Yashuang's literature and martial arts, what was there to worry about in Sifang?

"Isn't there a fourth aunt?" Qiu Yulan, who had been listening to the mother and son, suddenly asked.

Jiang Yashuang glanced at her approvingly: "Not bad! It doesn't matter if the eldest brother is not an important minister's opponent, there is still a fourth aunt in our family - even if His Majesty is not the fourth aunt's biological son, but the name of mother and son is there, and the fourth aunt speaks, how dare Your Majesty disobey? ”

So after listening to Jiang Tianqi's words of "putting his heart in his heart" just now, he directly pointed out that once the Jiang family all returned to their hometowns and guarded filial piety, it was the most important thing to make a comeback and ensure that the Empress Dowager Jiang did not have an accident during this period!

After all, the queen mother can use the word "filial piety" to control the emperor, and if she controls the emperor, she will have great righteousness - the name of righteousness is in hand, whether it is to restore the Jiang family in the future, or to beat the courtiers in the middle, it is very useful.

Speaking of which, the original Empress Dowager Gu, didn't she rely on her son to be the master of the house, and pushed the Gu family, which was originally just an ordinary official eunuch, to the prominent point of opening a mansion and sealing the king?

“…… The third uncle promised to make a list of the people placed in the palace city in the third room to the fourth aunt, and he would also help persuade the big house. After all, these people are now in the hands of the big house and the third room, but once these two rooms go to Kui County, thousands of miles away, maybe someone will have other thoughts! Even if they can't afford it, what if they are seduced? In short, try to make the fourth aunt surrounded by the fourth aunt's own lovely people! ”

After Jiang Yashuang saw the purpose of Jiang Tianqi's invitation, she ignored Mrs. Zhuang's obstruction and followed to the third room, not to listen to Jiang Tianqi's persuasion, but to force him to hand over the list and pave the way for the Empress Dowager Jiang to clean the palace - there is no better opportunity to weaken the big room and the third room in the palace than now, because of Jiang Tianjiao, the Empress Dowager Jiang and Mrs. Tao have always been very dissatisfied with the big room and the third room, and they used to pay it back, and now they don't bow to the Queen Mother, in case the Duke of Qin is really gone, the fourth room has the hole card of the Queen Mother Jiang, There is always room for mediation in everything, and it is not necessarily impossible to hold on for three years.

Especially in Northern Xinjiang, the Zhenbei Army currently has the upper hand, and in Jiang Tianqi's view, his four younger brothers are ten out of ten to take the opportunity of this pit to Beihu to beat Beihu hard! After handing over the Zhenbei Army to Jiang Yashuang, he returned to Beijing to be the next "Duke of Qin" in essence!

In short, now that the four-room card is good, there is a way back for any situation. But the big house and the third room don't have such a good fate!

After listening to Jiang Yashuang's words, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief: "You go to sleep quickly, at night, you have to serve!" ”
