Qi Yunhao can go to check Haicang Nunnery, Liuli is relieved, although she can also transfer Ye and Liu Wei to check, but in the end, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is a relative of the palace, and people who are going to do this kind of thing don't know it, Qi Yunhao is much more proficient than her.

There are a lot of visitors to the palace these days, as a favorite minister of the court, in addition to the subordinates in the camp will come and go, the old man and Qi Yunhao's colleagues in the court have also come a lot, Liuli naturally wants to entertain female guests with Mei's, and there is no reason for the guests to eat in the two courtyards, so everyone who comes eats together in the main courtyard, the male guest is in the outer courtyard, and the female guest is in the inner courtyard.

Sometimes there is more than one group of people and guests, and even dinner is to stay, and there are some places where Liuli also needs to give New Year's gifts, such as Prince Yu's Mansion, Ning Wang's Mansion, and Song Mansion. Here are all Liuli's relatives, and Qi Yunhao accompanied her. There is also Ma Weiqing's house, Ma Weiqing and Min Hua came to the fifth day of the first month, and because of the Su family's dying entrustment, Liuli also went back in person.

Mafu is a three-entry house, and it is exquisitely cleaned, like Min Hua's temperament, but it is a little reluctant to call such a small house a mansion. When Ma Weiqing first asked to marry Min Hua, the Su family was favored by the old lady and the old lady, and the old lady did not agree to come, but the old lady nodded when she saw Ma Weiqing's brain. The Su family is afraid that he has never been to the Ma Mansion until he died, otherwise even if she is a concubine, she is a young lady from the second-grade mansion, how could she be willing to marry a low-grade petty official from a poor family?

Min Hua's mother-in-law heard that Liuli was coming, and immediately greeted her. Liuli took a look, a thin woman, like Ma Weiqing, was good at observing words and feelings. When he saw Liuli, he personally served tea beside him, and he didn't have any respect that he should have as a housewife. There was also a famous maid with a red and swollen left cheek standing in the hall, who had obviously been beaten. Mrs. Ma saw Liuli looking at the beaten maid, and hurriedly scolded her. turned around and smiled with Liuli: "Our family is not as good as the rules of the palace." Let my aunt smile. ”

She is not called Mrs. Liuli here, but Mrs. Aunt, as if she is close to her. Liuli has always been dismissive of the Ma family because Ma Weiqing had beaten Min Hua. took the opportunity to say: "It's nothing when it comes to rules, it's just that there is no problem with beating people casually in our house." After speaking, he smiled and went to see Ma Weiqing.

Ma Weiqing's face froze, and he hurriedly got up to ask for tea.

Liuli turned her head and took Min Hua's hand and said, "Bring the child to see it, I haven't seen it for a long time." Min Hua looked at Mrs. Ma, and Mrs. Ma immediately turned her head and asked her to take the little brother. Liuli picked him up and asked two words, and gave him a pure gold collar with a gold lock. Min Hua smiled and asked the child to call his aunt, and there was nothing else to say.

Ruri sat down. I didn't eat, so I went home.

It's not that she looks down on Ma Weiqing's low official rank, it's that she looks down on this person, but because Min Hua is always a relative, as long as Min Hua is still there. She's always going to have to make a few trips.

After the tenth day of the first month, the days are gradually on the right track again, Ji Xiaoquan has a lot of experience as a junior in Lianxiang Building, and he came back two days and nights ago and reported to Liuli. And recorded some of what he saw and know, and gave it to Liuli. At the same time, the project of Osmanthus Hutong is also in progress, and it is estimated that the ditch of the entire courtyard will be dug by the end of the month, and it will be repaired in another month.

When Fan Yun took the revised drawings of the courtyard room to show Liuli, he also reminded by the way: "Are the tables, chairs and benches in the shop the original ones to be used, or are they newly purchased?"

Liuli had thought about this problem a long time ago, but she forgot to explain it, so she immediately said: "Rearrange." Since the place is not small, and the chef came out of the West Lake Building, he simply made it better and slowly played the signboard. Originally, when we built this palace, it was designed and built by people in the Ministry of Industry, and then you go to find someone and ask their expert people to point out the doorway, so that our restaurant will go to the high-end and elegant road. ”

After listening to this, Fan Yun said, "If this happens, then the cost will inevitably increase."

Liuli said: "I'm not afraid of this. The 9,500 taels saved by the top shop are more than enough to repair a ditch and change a private room, you can use it first, and then talk about it. Originally, she had a few thousand taels of silver ready to renovate, and even if all these expenses were added up, they were still within the budget, so money was not a problem, and it was important to get it seriously done as soon as possible.

Fan Yun wrote it down, and said: "Then what name should the restaurant should be drawn up, you have to ask grandma to draw up, whether it is wood carving and gold painting or directly writing and then expanding, you also have to have an idea."

Liuli thought for a moment and said, "I'll give it to you in the next few days." If the signboard is still carved and painted with gold, it can be nailed to the lintel at that time. The couplet is written in lacquer, and when you cut the plank and bring it back, I will write it. ”

Fan Yun nodded, asked if there was anything else, and then went down and didn't mention it.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Kikyo is talking back and forth here.

"Grandma, Qingque Hutong found out the door, it turns out that the shop has been open for six or seven years, every 147 days, the eunuch will go to the embroidery shop, it seems that in addition to our house, there are other people to send news there. The little one followed two, one of them was from the mansion of Lord Song Bi, and the other went to the mansion of Guo Ding, the current prime minister of Zhongshu Province. ”

"Are you sure?"

Liuli sat up straight, the people in the embroidery shop were not only working for Han Yao, but also delivering news to several other important ministers, who was hiding behind this shop?

Kikyo said: "Absolutely! The little one not only followed them, but also bought a thief halfway, stole the notes on their bodies and showed them to the scholars who wrote letters on the street, that is, there is no doubt about the inner house of the Song Mansion and the Guo Mansion. They also mentioned the relationship between Lord Song and the fourth aunt, but what was written by Lord Guo was his relationship with Guo Jing, the squire of the military department. Guo Ding and Guo Jingnai are uncles and brothers of the same grandfather. ”

The more Liuli listened, the more her heart sank, and it seemed that this was a private matter of each family, but when you look at it together, the Song Mansion, Guo Mansion and Qi Mansion are all important ministers in the court, Song Ziyu, Guo Jing, and Qi Mansion are all officials in the court, and the news delivered to the embroidery shop in each house seems to be related to the government.

The prince is narrow-minded, and it is inevitable that he will install people in various mansions to spy on them. But does he have what it takes? That shop has been in business for so long without changing people, obviously as a contact point for the palace to deliver news early in the morning, although the prince was also the prince seven or eight years ago, but at that time it should have been more reckless and ignorant, can he really set up a point in Beijing, and then it has not been noticed?

But if not him, who would it be? Queen?

Liuli pondered for a moment and said, "Next time, you will keep an eye on that eunuch and find out which palace he is from."

Kikyo nodded and went down.

Ruri sat on the couch for a long time, and finally sighed, got up and entered the house.

The situation can't be settled, and the inner house is not peaceful. Liuli sometimes really doesn't understand what the saint thinks, he clearly established the prince, but he connived at Luo Guifei and King Qing, and obviously loved Luo Guifei for many years, and among the princes, he paid great attention to Lu Zhao, but he didn't give him the position of prince. If he fainted in a daze, but he stabilized the country from the bloody struggle of the year, without some strategy, how could there be a prosperous world now?

But if you have a strategy and a vision, why don't you quickly cut through the chaos and end all these disputes?

When Qi Yunhao came back, Liuli told him about his puzzlement. He looked at her and said, "You don't understand, and I don't understand either." But one thing I know is that the day when the overall situation has been decided is the day when I pray for the government to hand over the military power. We are not really imperial relatives, just a favored courtier, and there is no emperor who is not afraid of the courtiers' high achievements and the loss of military power. The Marquis of Zhongyong also made great contributions when he supported the saint's accession to the throne, but after the saint ascended the throne, their military power was handed over. We have no military power in our hands, and we will fall into a situation where we can only be controlled by others, just like the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion today. ”

Liuli was speechless, and said for a long time: "Then what if Lu Zhao ascends the throne?" Will it do the same to you?"

Qi Yunhao put his arm around her, his chin resting on the top of her head, "Maybe, maybe not." I chose this path myself, and even if I could, I would not blame others. It's just that maybe you'll perish because of it. ”

Liuli shook her head, "Follow you down, this path is also my choice, and I don't blame anyone." I'm just curious about the idea of the saint, he didn't issue an order to punish either of the prince and Lu Zhao, but let them fight, to mess up the government, at this time, in addition to the military power in the hands of the Dingbei Wangfu can protect the court Sheji, who else has this ability? Hearing you say this, how do I think that the Holy Lord is deliberately maintaining the status and prestige of the Dingbei Palace?"

Qi Yunhao paused and said, "If the Holy Lord doesn't stop it, he himself won't have time to take care of it." In addition, I also think that he is deliberately disturbing the situation, and there is another possibility, that is, he is forcing these people to stand in line, and when they all stand up, they know who will protect whom, and no matter who ascends the throne in the future, they will have a bottom in their hearts when they use people. ”

Liuli looked up at him and asked, "Don't you really think that the Holy Lord is in the Baoding North Palace?"

Qi Yunhao paused and turned his face away, "Impossible." ”

Ruri sighed, she also knew it couldn't be. The saint is the emperor, his surname is Lu Bu, and the surname is Qi, and the Qi Mansion is now sharing such a big credit, how can it not prevent them from taking advantage of the chaos? But the saint did not do this, but also showed favor to the Dingbei Wangfu, no matter how you look at it, it feels unreasonable.

However, the holy will is unpredictable, and she has not met him twice, so it is difficult to really guess anything. But when it comes to the meritorious service of the Marquis of Zhongyong, she sat up, turned to face him and said, "By the way, what meritorious service did the Marquis of Zhongyong make back then?"
