Chapter 217: Husband and wife
Qi Chongxuan is right, Zhou Langhuan agrees from the bottom of her heart, but she can't help but feel a chill all over her body, at this point, she is very different from Qi Chongxuan, she can't think clearly, Qi Chongxuan can see it clearly, no wonder his grandfather will say that Qi Chongxuan is upright. The people in her family are all long-sleeved and good at dancing, interests first, and all they teach are how to protect themselves, and her grandfather is looking for a scholarly husband like Qi Chongxuan for her, who wants to change the situation in the family for a long time.
She was accustomed to hearing about the bad deeds of the gentlemen, and she had seen Qi Chongxuan sitting on a chair in the family arrangement, meticulous, and she also felt that it was about a good family affair. Who knew that getting along was very different, not only did the two of them have a dislike, but she also lost a handkerchief like Lin Yi because of this.
Looking at Qi Chongxuan on the other hand, maybe he should have a confidant.
Or the grandfather was wrong at the beginning, but she was the most wrong. Since I was a child, I knew that because the family was the mother of the Queen Mother, looking at the scenery on the surface, in fact, I was careful not to take a wrong step, my relatives were sensitive to the political situation, as long as I made a mistake, it was a big deal, my mother often said that the uncle in the clan was crazy about making mistakes and being exiled, and it was over if I was an ordinary person, but the Queen Mother wanted to kill her relatives and remind all her relatives. As long as everyone in the family mentions this, they are all related, and everyone obeys the queen mother's will in everything, for fear that they will be rejected by the queen mother one day, and they are also like the uncle in the clan. These are also her own excuses, she is naturally selfish.
How is Qi Chongxuan preparing? stayed away from her before, and from then on he only snubbed her even more.
Zhou Langhuan quietly waited for Qi Chongxuan's next words.
Qi Chongxuan said: "I gave Chang Wang money to buy paper and pens because Chang Wang's younger brother is a piece of reading material. Changwang went out to buy and sell herbs, probably to save some money to supplement his family. You just entered the Qi family and don't know this. ”
Qi Chongxuan had never mentioned these things in front of her, how could she know.
Zhou Langhuan took a breath, "I should have asked you, I tried to talk to you." But you don't pay much attention to it, and you don't want to say anything, and you'd rather get up at night and sit under the porch to blow the wind than tell me what is in your heart. ”
Qi Chongxuan turned his head to look at Zhou Langhuan, "You should have known it before you got married." That's how I am. My personality has not changed. ”
It's probably her fault, she thinks everything too well.
The two men stood in silence for a moment.
Qi Chongxuan stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Zhou Langhuan's cheeks. "As I know, you are gentle and kind, and you are generous and decent. I didn't marry you because you came from a family with a national surname. Marriage is child's play. In the future, the two will be relatively close for many years. ”
Zhou Langhuan looked at Qi Chongxuan in surprise.
Qi Chongxuan said: "It's not just your fault, I also ignore you." If we had tried, we might not have where we are today. ”
Zhou Langhuan shook her head, "I don't blame you, which family's new daughter-in-law is not careful to figure out her husband's thoughts." It is my jealousy that is at work. ”
"It's futile to say this now, it's true to think about remedy." Qi Chongxuan turned around and went to take the book on the case.
Zhou Langhuan was a little at a loss. It took me a while to remember to take the ink strip and grind the ink.
Qi Chongxuan was silent for a moment under the light, "The Marquis of Guangping is right, the Tianjin prefect did not have the 100,000 stone grain of greed, from the previous dynasties, there was a Ding tax, at that time, the Ding amount began to be reduced every year, each dynasty and each generation had a few decades or even hundreds of years of peace and prosperity, but the Ding amount has never risen, it is still decreasing, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, the Ding amount was more than 20 million, after Taizu, Chengzu, and Gaozong, the Ding amount has not exceeded 30 million, after the war to recuperate for so many years, why can't the Ding amount rise?" Because of the need to collect people's taxes, some people can't afford to pay the taxes and can only hide and not come out to see people, I heard my father talk about rectifying the rule of officials all day long, and officials are greedy for ink and still have the imperial history to dare to participate, and no one dares to speak when it comes to national policies, but now someone can't sit still," said and raised his head, "I don't want to help because the Qi family and the Guangping Hou have some friendship, I think the Guangping Hou is right, just like speaking for the in-laws before, but I want to do so, and it has nothing to do with others." Qi Chongxuan didn't say anything more, and set his eyes on the book.
Zhou Langhuan also picked up the ink strip to continue grinding the ink, and waited until it was polished, then lowered her eyes and walked out. Hearing Qi Chongxuan say this, she felt a lot lighter, at least Qi Chongxuan didn't blindly accuse her, Zhou Langhuan took a deep breath, Lin Yi was right, the matter between her and Qi Chongxuan can only be solved by themselves.
The room was quiet again, and he could only hear his own heartbeat, Qi Chongxuan raised his head and looked out the window, he had envied his grandfather since he was a child, because his grandfather was a righteous man, and he thought that he would be calm and upright when he grew up in the future. But he now knows that people are not without the slightest selfishness. He can "walk" right, but it is not easy to "heart". That's why Zhou Langhuan is suspicious.
Qi Chongxuan frowned, put aside his worries and continued to flip through the book. The events during this period of time upset him, and Lin Zhengqing kept hinting to him that King Kangjun and the Marquis of Guangping were marrying because they wanted to take advantage of the Chen family of the Marquis of Guangping. He looked carefully from the side, King Kangjun used the relationship between the Chen family and his in-laws to exchange for a future, and now he is ostensibly for his father-in-law, but in fact, as a military general, he can meddle in political affairs.
King Kangjun seems to be standing out for others, but he gets the greatest benefit from it, and King Kangjun's careful thinking and calculation can control everything and make people incomprehensible. That's why he felt that the family affair of Guangping Hou Chen Jiajie was not necessarily a blessing or a curse.
But he had to admire King Kangjun.
A few days ago, when he came back from the Yamen, he saw a man on the road. The man was smiling on horseback, and the whole person looked arrogant and fearless.
King Kangjun should have been in Tianjin Mansion, but he dared to quietly enter Beijing.
Even if King Kangjun used the Marquis of Guangping to meddle in political affairs, who would have the guts? Just like he said, officials are greedy for ink, and there is still a royal history that dares to participate, and when it comes to national policies, no one dares to speak. The Tianjin prefect dared to use 100,000 stone of grain without permission, but did not dare to mention the Ding tax.
Qi Chongxuan's eyes floated in front of the face of the Chen family, the princess of Kangjun, maybe only the Chen family could sit in the Kangjun Palace.
Qi Chongxuan closed his eyes slightly when he thought like this, and when he opened them again, there was already a clear patch in his eyes.
Everyone has the right to bury things they don't want to talk about to outsiders deep in their hearts, and never let others know.
……
The next day, Princess Xianjun came to Kangjun Mansion as a guest, and Lin Yi accompanied Princess Xianjun to Mrs. Zhou's room first.
Princess Xianjun talked about planting medicinal herbs, "We have all calculated it, and we will try anything next year." ”
Old Madam Zhou's face was not very good, and she occasionally coughed twice, "There is no bad thing for you young people to toss and toss more." ”
Princess Xianjun looked at Mrs. Zhou with concern, "You have to take care of your body, the sky is getting colder and colder, but you can't take care of it." ”
Old Madam Zhou smiled and said, "People are old, unlike you young people, even if you are uncomfortable, it is better to do it quickly," she paused and looked at Lin Yi, "If you can't make up the manpower and silver for a while, just open your mouth and tell me." ”
Lin Yi said with a smile: "If you really have difficulties, you naturally have to bother your aunt." ”
Lin Yi and Princess Xianjun came out of Mrs. Zhou's room and saw the eldest lady Zhen with a ruddy face and wearing a silver and red gown in the courtyard. Zhen was beaten by Zhou Yuanjing and never dared to go out, and today is the first time he has appeared.
Zhen came up to salute Lin Yi and Princess Xianjun, pinching the peony veil of the shark yarn, and the long Kodan nails were very eye-catching, and they looked even brighter than usual.
Zhen wants to pretend to be casual in front of outsiders, but such a deliberate pretense makes people feel that they are covering up.
"I'll come and see my mother." Zhen said.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, "Sister-in-law, go over quickly!" "There is something that can't be solved, let's ask the old lady for help!
Zhen didn't say much, turned around and went to the old lady's room.
Lin Yi and Princess Xianjun went to the inner room of the second courtyard.
Princess Xianjun said: "Have you heard of it?" On the day Steward Shen went out, it seemed that he was looking for Mrs. Xiao in Beijing, who was famous for her long mouth and specialized in gossiping about the powerful in Beijing. ”
There are such people who are indispensable when the news is spread in Beijing.
What did Steward Shen want to pass on when he went to find Mrs. Xiao? As you can imagine, it's not a good word.
Princess Xianjun looked out the window, "Everyone is guessing, it seems that there should be results in a day or two." ”
The Zhen family was already in a mess, the paper couldn't hold the fire, and Mrs. Zhou didn't have the skills to recover.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, and Princess Xianjun picked up the needle and thread in the basket, "This time the feet are delicate, you embroidered it yourself?" Come and teach me, it's time for me to change the Lameitu at home. ”
Princess Xianjun sat for a while and mentioned the news in the palace, "The queen mother is not moving to Kunning Palace." ”
said before that he wanted to move in during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a signal, although the emperor often goes to Jingren Palace, but the relationship with the queen is no longer what it used to be. People change, let alone monarchs.
It's not a good thing for the queen's faction. The queen mother has no children, and now that she is old again, it is almost impossible to have another son-in-law, so that between the queen and the emperor only rely on the love of her youth, the queen mother has taken the initiative to open the door of Jingren Palace, that is, she has taken the only move in her hand, but this move cannot save the overall situation.
If the queen is favored, the emperor may sentence the Tianjin prefect lightly in the face of the queen mother, but now it seems that this may be very small.
