Chapter 209: Turning Back
Zhou 19 took Lin Yi into his arms, "The emperor asked me to track down the lost rice, and there is no limit to me going to Tianjin Mansion in a few days." ”
Through the thin profane clothes, Lin Yi felt Zhou Shijiu's warm skin, "The prince of the county is insisting on making excuses, the emperor ordered the prince of the county to track down the lost rice, naturally he must go to Tianjin Mansion in the shortest possible time, otherwise the prince of the county should go to the yamen." "Everyone in the capital knows about King Kangjun's departure from Beijing.
Zhou Shijiu said with a smile: "Who said I didn't leave, I suddenly thought that I had something to go back to Beijing to ask clearly, so I turned back halfway." ”
This is a statement to the outside, I am afraid that staying in the capital was calculated by Zhou 19 early on, and only when Zhou 19 people are gone, can we know what changes will happen in Beijing due to this matter, just like Gong Er and Qi Chongxuan's little guy often look forward to.
"Did the prince of the county find any eyebrows?" Probably because of the cold weather, Lin Yi shrank in Zhou Shijiu's arms and didn't look up.
Zhou Shijiu said: "There is nothing else, but I just want to ask people to go to the household department to ask about Ding over the years." ”
Lin Yi's eyes lit up, "The prince of the county wants to check the population of Tianjin?" "To put it simply, how many people eat how much rice, if the population is large, then the rice for disaster relief will naturally be eaten, but the household department has long thought of this, how many people are in Tianjin Prefecture, the emperor is afraid that he can say it with just one mouth, and Zhou 19 can find out what clues he can find out now.
"When the prince of the county said this, I think of one thing......" Lin Yi said this and smiled silently.
Zhou Shijiu lowered his head and saw the snow-white back of Lin Yi's neck, "What do you think of?" ”
Lin Yi said with a smile: "When my father was in Funing, he always complained that the imperial court allocated less and less disaster relief rice," this is the most worrying thing for my father every year, and he is most afraid of seeing people starving to death in the city as a local official. "Disaster relief rice is distributed according to the population, if the population is accurate. It stands to reason that there should be enough rice for disaster relief. The state collects taxes on people, and many people go into hiding. These people are hiding the poorest people. "It is very likely that Chang Guangwen, the governor of Tianjin, distributed rice and grain to these people.
Zhou 19 smiled, "But it is also the fault of the local officials who failed to pay the Ding tax for the state, so the local officials rarely show their performance." ”
That's why my father was sure that Chang Guangwen was not greedy for ink.
In just two days, Zhou Shijiu heard so much news, or before taking over this errand, Zhou Shijiu already had a full grasp in his heart. Zhou Jiu's mind was like an abyss, and he couldn't be clear around him. However, as long as you don't think about it, you don't have to worry about it.
In the past, she pondered that Zhou Shijiu's every move was because she was afraid that Zhou Shijiu would use her father like in her previous life. If you don't dig into it now, you have more trust in Zhou Shijiu, at least Zhou Shijiu is helping in this matter.
Zhou Shijiu looked down at the quiet Lin Yi. Under the flickering candlelight, Lin Yi's face was a little more peaceful, "What were you thinking about when you didn't sleep just now?" ”
"Think about the second grandmother." Lin Yi didn't want to hide it from Zhou Nineteen.
Zhou Shijiu stretched out his hand to comb the long hair on Lin Yi's face, "I'll ask people to inquire about what Second Grandma Qi said in front of the Queen Mother." ”
Lin Yi shook her head, "I know very well in my heart that Second Grandma Qi must be talking about the queen's illness in front of the Queen Mother, Second Grandma Qi once came to our house, and happened to meet Mr. In-law, and Mr. In-law and I talked about the Queen Mother and did not shy away from Second Grandma Qi." Something else. Qi Er's grandmother didn't know, even if she said it, it was fabricated out of thin air, and it was not credible to investigate it deeply. After a pause, "Second Grandma Qi is the Queen Mother's family, we talk together, as long as it is related to political affairs, I am very careful, and rarely disclose it to her, just because I am afraid that one day when everyone has a different position, she will make a difficult time...... Although I have already thought about this, I also hope that when the day comes, she will be on my side. ”
Lin Yi is not the kind of coquettish and selfish woman, she will not only think about herself, as long as she gets good things on weekdays, Lin Yi will always think of giving Miss Zheng Qi, Grandma Qi Er and Miss Qi Family, naturally she doesn't want to see this friendship break down easily.
Lin Yi said softly: "If you think about it carefully, I regard the interests of the Kangjun Mansion and the Chen family as the most important, and the second grandmother of Qi is the same, so naturally the Qi family and the national family are the first place." ”
"You're different," Zhou Shijiu looked at Lin Yi's slightly frowning eyebrows, "You take risks for the sake of your in-laws, and Second Grandma Qi can also say nothing in front of the Queen Mother for you." However, people and people have different temperaments and cannot be compared, and the two of you can continue to associate with each other, but you cannot be regarded as confidants. Unless one day you change, or she changes. ”
Is this a sincere opinion?
Lin Yi loosened the corners of her eyebrows and smiled, "When will the prince of the county leave?" ”
Zhou 19 said: "The sky is not bright, so as not to give birth to many things, and you are not easy to explain." ”
Lin Yi raised her head and glanced at Zhou Nineteen. This is the truth, Lin Yi looked out the window, the house was very quiet, who would have thought that there would suddenly be more people in her room.
Zhou Jiu said in a low voice: "Chen Han is outside to control the wind, and there is also the arrangement of the housekeeper's mother-in-law, so no one will know," Zhou Jiujiu stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt corner for Lin Yi, "If I am not in the capital, and something happens in the palace, have you ever thought of a way?" ”
The Queen Mother said that the Queen Mother was involved in politics, and the Queen Mother used her mother's family to inquire about the outside news, so it was not considered to be in politics? If Jingren Palace is lively, Jingren Palace is no longer as good as the Five Kings' Mansion. Since the Queen Mother can make a fuss about her relatives, her family is also a serious relative.
The fifth princess can send her mother's secret medicine to Cining Palace, and give it to Grandma Qi's second grandmother, as long as the queen mother inadvertently mentions it in front of the emperor. How this farce will end is not certain.
This is a-for-tat practice, targeting the national surname and the queen mother. This method is good, think carefully about the pros and cons, and the Queen Mother is the enemy, there is no solid backing, even if you win this time, it will only become more and more difficult in the future, and if you are not careful, you will not end well, so you still have to be careful to calculate.
Lin Yi said: "In order for the prince of the county to go to Tianjin Mansion with peace of mind, the concubine has to say that there is a way, and the method may not be very good, and it will definitely last until the prince of the county returns to Beijing." ”
Lin Yi curled up in Zhou Shijiu's arms.
Zhou Shijiu chuckled in Lin Yi's ear, "Don't make me feel uneasy about coming back." ”
Lin Yi didn't speak, but fell asleep in Zhou Shijiu's arms.
Hearing Lin Yi's even breathing, Zhou Shijiu withdrew his arm, got up and got dressed, pushed open the door, took the coat and leather whip from Orange Hong's hand, and strode out of the courtyard.
Chen Han and the others were in the outer courtyard, and when they saw Zhou Shijiu, they immediately opened the door, and the reins of the horse were also sent to Zhou Shijiu.
Zhou Shijiu neatly turned over his horse and walked all the way to a small courtyard in Xicheng.
Feng Ziying stepped forward to welcome Zhou Shijiu into the house.
In the corner of the room, a man dressed as a steward trembled and knelt forward, "Lord Kangjun, what you said is right, right?" When you go back to the house and inquire, you will find out that it is really Princess Kangjun who asked the escort room to communicate with Second Master Qi's little servant. ”
