Chapter 67: The Man Behind the Scenes

"Could it be the Xihe Palace?" Qiu Yulan thought for a moment and blurted out.

Fang Nongyan herself definitely didn't have the courage to turn her face with Ruan Qingyan, someone must have instructed her - although it was the young lady of the Xue family who had a conflict with Ruan Qingyan recently, but it was Ruan Qingyan who suffered that time, no matter how neurotic the young lady of the Xue family was, it wouldn't be endless, right?

She also thought about it, this Miss Xue family was rejected by Jiang Yashuang, will she be angry with Ruan Qingyan again - but now Xue Chang is about to use the death of Old General Ruan as a cover to take a breath, Miss Xue is so cheating her own father?

So judging by normal logic, the most likely is the Xihe Palace, "Although Empress Dowager Gu is also hostile to your cousin, now their minds should be on dealing with Xue Xiang...... However, in this case, why did Fang Nongyan, the white-eyed wolf, go to Jingzhao Mansion? ”

Jingzhao Feng Rugui, that's the Ash Queen Party! Qiu Mengmin's loss last time was not enough?

Ruan Qingyan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, although his face was not good-looking, his eyes were still very calm, obviously this accident did not make him mess up: "I invited someone from 'Tianya' to keep an eye on the Fang family, and I have already sent someone over to ask about the people who have been dealing with Fang Nongyan in the past few days, presumably there will be results later." ”

After a while, someone ran back sweating profusely and said, "That side said that yesterday Tai Shiling sent someone to Fang's house. No one else has anything to do with it. ”

"Tai Shi Ling?" Qiu Yulan was stunned, "He seems to be surnamed Xue?!" ”

"Xue Jin, Xue Xiang's brother." Ruan Qingyan's eyes were heavy, "This shouldn't be what Xue Xiang meantβ€”I guess Xue Xiang may not know it yet!" I'm his protΓ©gΓ© after all! ”

At this time, the relationship between master and apprentice in officialdom is the strongest: one party is developed and the other party follows the light, and the other party does not want to stand idly by when one party is tragic - according to the default rules, even if there is no intimacy between master and apprentice like father and son, but, if you don't take care of each other, you will be despised by the entire eunuch field!

Therefore, Xue Chang will definitely not openly deal with Ruan Qingyan!

Even if you turn a corner, you have to get rid of all the relationships, how can you let the clan brother come forward?

"I'm afraid that Xue Xiang's palm pearl is sick again!" When Qiu Yulan heard this, she guessed it and sneered, "That day, the eldest lady of the Xue family led their sixth grandson over to come over, but she didn't look like she had an opinion on us - I thought that the prime minister's daughter was so high-end, it turned out to be a cheat!" ”

But I felt a little puzzled, "How can it be found out so easily?" Could there be any insider information? "The prime minister's brother and daughter, the IQ of doing bad things is not so low, right? The victim didn't even get out of the door.

"Easy?" Ruan Qingyan said lightly, "This news is five thousand taels of silver!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's not easy. Qiu Yulan said heartily, "It's just a black shop!" ”

She asked, "And now?" ”

"I'll ask Ruan Yi to go to Xue Xiang's mansion, tell Xue Xiang what happened, and ask him to call the shots." Knowing that Fang Nongyan was behind Fang Nongyan's accusation that Miss Xue was behind the scenes, Ruan Qingyan was not worried, "I will be attacked horizontally, and the most headache is Xue Xiang." ”

Qiu Yulan snorted: "Yes, I finally found a chance to breathe, but I was disturbed by my own daughter." But I hope that this Xue Xiang will be more decisive, this kind of daughter should be killed early! ”

Ruan Qingyan didn't take her angry words to heart, and only said: "Xue Xiangzi will discipline the people of his family, don't worry about it...... It's time for dinner, go and eat, don't go hungry. ”

"Look at your gobbling up, I don't know, I thought our Jiang family couldn't open the pot!" At this moment, in the Zishen Palace, Queen Jiang was also smiling and holding the plum green ground double carp lotus tea bowl, teasing her nephew who was immersed in rice.

Jiang Yashuang picked off the last basket of bistem rice, took the tea handed by the palace maid and rinsed his mouth, before explaining: "My nephew wanted to finish all his homework for today before noon, but he missed the meal unconsciously. Afraid that the grandmother would be worried about passing on the food again, she simply entered the palace to rub the fourth aunt for a meal. ”

Among the nineteen nephews and nieces, Empress Jiang is the most pampered and connived with Jiang Qizheng and Jiang Yashuang, the twin sons - the main reason is that their sisters and brothers were raised by Mrs. Tao and Xiao Tao, and they have always been close to these two. This is also the reason why Jiang Qizheng, as the youngest granddaughter of the Jiang family, was named a princess over many sisters.

As for Jiang Yashuang, he was seen by the queen who has not had a biological prince as most of her son, and after listening to his words at this moment, the queen scolded with a smile: "Since it is a day's homework, what do you have to do before noon?" ”

Jiang Yashuang glanced left and right, as soon as the queen raised her eyes, the palace people gave a salute, and in an instant, only Nijin and other henchmen remained. The queen asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

"I heard that Xue Xiang handed over the fold yesterday and wants to posthumously seal the new old General Ruan?" Jiang Yashuang asked flatteringly, "This is also a matter of Yi Zhi and some money, why don't the fourth aunt agree?" ”

Empress Jiang said with a smile: "I said that you are in a hurry to finish your homework and run to the palace to do something?" It turned out that you were ordered by your sweetheart? ”

"Where?" Jiang Yashuang blurted out, "She went to the General's Mansion after receiving the bad news from General Ruan, with Ruan Qingyan watching over there, it is impossible for me to see her when I go to mourn, how can it be what she means?" It's ...... myself."

Hearing this, Empress Jiang and her left and right henchmen laughed out loud - the queen pointed at him: "Listen! It is said that after a woman has a person she admires, it is inevitable that her elbow will turn outward, and our frost is very bad? ”

Ni Jin pursed her lips and smiled: "The nineteenth young lady hasn't passed the door yet, and the nineteenth young lady is so hurtful...... Hee-hee! ”

Jiang Yashuang ignored her and asked the queen with a smile: "The fourth aunt promised me?" ”

"You guys also go out, and this palace will talk to Shuang'er alone." Empress Jiang put down the tea bowl, swept her sideburns and said with a smile.

When Nijin and the others also left, there were two aunts and nephews in the huge side hall, but she smiled and frowned, "Are you optimistic?" Is this the county lord of Ningyi? ”

Jiang Yashuang was asked so bluntly by the elders, and her face turned slightly red, but she still said, "Yes." ”

"Although she is the county lord, she doesn't have any elders to support her!" The queen reminded.

"What the fourth aunt said - you love your nephew, why should your nephew consider the power of the Yue family?" Jiang Yashuang disagreed, "Besides, men are born in the world, they should be the support of their wives and children, what is the point of relying on others?" ”

Seeing that his words were not like those specifically for herself, the queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: as the only biological daughter of Mrs. Tao, of course she hoped that the old lady could get her wish, but Jiang Yashuang grew up watching her grow up like her own son, and the queen really didn't want him to be wronged in life's events.

Now that Jiang Yashuang herself has taken a fancy to Qiu Yulan, for Queen Jiang, she doesn't have to choose between her mother and nephew, which is of course the best.

But the queen thought for a moment, and still mentioned: "I also know that you don't care about this. However, I heard that the county lord of Ning Yi seems to be very close to her cousin Ruan Qingyan? ”

"After all, the Xihe King and his wife are very bad to her." Jiang Yashuang thought about this question for a while, and then said, "All her relatives can rely on this cousin, I think Ruan Qingyan should treat her as a younger sister - otherwise she wouldn't have run to Xue Xiangfu frequently before." ”

Empress Jiang smiled and said, "Is that so?" But it's better for them to have less contact in the future, after all, they are just cousins, and Ruan Qingyan has never married a wife here, and this movement has led to discussions, even if they are innocent, you don't look good on your face. ”

"My nephew will remind them of my ...... in the future Fourth aunt, what about chasing the seal? Jiang Yashuang brought the topic back to its original position.

Empress Jiang said angrily: "What are you doing in such a hurry? But he still told him, "What your grandfather means is that since you have already rejected the Xue family once, you have to woo Xue Chang again." However, our family's momentum is not so easy to borrow, Xue Chang doesn't take some benefits, and it is impossible to empty the gloves of the white wolf. ”

Jiang Yashuang hurriedly asked, "How long will it take?" ”

"It's up to Xue Chang." Empress Jiang said with a smile, "Old General Ruan used to be the commander of the Zhenxi Army, so he was trained by him!" You don't know what happened to the fiasco of Ruan's old general Weng's son-in-law at the beginning - although Xue Chang easily refused to take sides in Jianggu, but if he didn't give the situation a little cold this time, I wouldn't speak. ”

Seeing Jiang Yashuang looking at herself, Empress Jiang nodded at him, and shouted angrily and funny, "What kind of face are you?" People haven't married yet, so they can't wait to protect it? Even if General Ruan gets posthumously sealed, the first thing that will benefit is not Ruan Qingyan? Who is Nguyen Thanh Yen? is Xue Chang's protΓ©gΓ©! As for the county lord of Ningyi, she is the granddaughter in the end, and she also has the title of county lord - this posthumous title is simply dispensable for her! ”

"Shi Han's military power is not right, this person is an important arm of Empress Dowager Gu to deal with our Jiang family, wouldn't it be good if you could take this opportunity to clean him up?" Jiang Yashuang said flatteringly, "Why does the fourth aunt sit and watch Xue Xiang do it?" Can't our family also take a hand? ”

Empress Jiang scolded with a smile: "You are really stunned by that little girl!" Can't see such a simple truth? As soon as our family makes a move, the old thing in the Taishi Hall will definitely suspiciously leave Xue Chang to pinch our family, so Xue Chang's embarrassment is equivalent to being solved, do you think he will still help our family talk? ”

Jiang Yashuang said stupidly: "I thought that the fourth aunt had always loved me, and she would pretend to be confused and let me go!" ”

"In short, don't let your sweetheart suffer." Empress Jiang's heart softened when she looked at her nephew's disappointed appearance, but she still promised, "After all, even if you don't look at your face, Ruan Qingyan's talent is worth cultivating-even if he is so close to Xue Chang after entering Hanlin, it's time for him to think about whether to follow the master or follow our Jiang family!" ”

Speaking of this, the queen was also a little regretful, "It's a pity that Xue Chang has no way to teach his daughter, otherwise this person is talented and good-looking, and his family is simple, so he is an excellent candidate for a son-in-law." I think that the zither is sixteen years old......"

"It was the fifteenth sister that the family wanted to promise him before." Jiang Yashuang reminded.

"Just an uninformed woman like the Dou family, who taught Qiyun to be narrow-minded, and giving this Ruan Qingyan is not to lift him, but to torture him." Because there is no one else in front of her now, Empress Jiang does not hide her dislike for Jiang Tianqiao's wife Dou - Qin Guogong's original wife, Mrs. Dou, is Dou's aunt, and after she died of illness, the Dou family wanted to remarry Mrs. Dou's cousin, that is, Dou's little aunt, to Qin Guogong in order to maintain the relationship between the two families.

As a result, Qin Guogong's request to marry the granddaughter of Tao Yinsong, the "pillar of the country", was successful, and of course he would not consider the daughter of the Dou family again. The Dou family didn't dare to turn their faces with Qin Guogong, so they turned their anger on Mrs. Tao. Especially within two years of Mrs. Tao's exit, Tao Yinsong passed away, and the Tao family declined rapidly...... The Dou family relied on her husband to win the favor and forbearance of the two uncles of Qin Guogong and Jibei Hou, not to mention the trouble of finding her stepaunt, and even Queen Jiang was bullied by this sister-in-law when she was in the boudoir.

Although the Dou family was also tossed by her after Empress Jiang took power, her dislike for the Dou family has never changed - hating the house and Wu, the children of the Jiang family's big house have always been the most unpopular in front of the queen.

Especially Jiang Qiyun, who almost injured the queen's favorite niece Jiang Qizheng, the queen can be said to hate this niece very much, "I didn't reassure this Ruan Qingyan before, so I chose him from the big house." It's still good to look at him now, if it weren't for the unruly thing of the Xue family to talk about him first, he wouldn't be able to look down on her - it's hard for her to be a person who can't even look down on a cheap maid and daughter, but our family Zheng'er chose it? I think it's actually a good idea to drop the kite down on him. ”

Jiang Yashuang is not worried about her sister's lifelong events, her cousin, who is ranked fifteenth horizontally and vertically, has not yet married, and it is not Jiang Qizheng's turn to leave the cabinet, not to mention that this sister has so many elders watching, so she can't suffer a loss. He was more concerned: "The Ruan family plans to stop for seven days, and then they will leave to return to Laizhou." I wonder if the matter of chasing the seal before Ruan Qingyan leaves can be decided? ”
