He Shuijin sighed: "But in front of my grandfather, how can there be a place for my daughter-in-law to talk?" ”

He also said, "Grandfather is the most partial to the big house, and the second is to like the nineteen--so, if we can bring the Qiu family over, it will really be of great benefit to our room--for this reason Mother specially told her daughter-in-law, even if it is to fabricate something about you and the two sisters-in-law...... If it's not good, let the Qiu family trust the daughter-in-law! Now I see that Qiu's daughter-in-law has ......"

"That's right, but don't be too obvious." He reminded, "Naqiu can't react by himself; Your grandfather was too busy to take care of the little things; The queen is in the palace, but don't forget that you still have a grandmother at home! That's the one who put all in the chips! If you get too close to the Qiu clan and make her feel threatened, how can she tolerate it! That, but there is the queen mother to rely on! ”

He Shui Jin was shocked: "My daughter-in-law is confused!" Thanks to my mother's advice! ”

He Shi smiled with satisfaction and said: "You have done a good job, after all, the expenses of this big family are pointed at you, and there are many old people in the stewardship, even I feel a headache, let alone you?" This is also distracted to envelop the Naqiu clan...... Alas, it's also your sixth and seventh sisters-in-law who didn't have a relationship with her before, so it's better for you to come forward! With so many things, it is inevitable that something will go wrong! ”

She didn't know that he was respectfully said yes to Shui Jin, but what she thought in her heart was: "Sure enough, it's hard to be a daughter-in-law!" When my aunt just asked me for advice, she wished I could do everything for her and not worry about anything! But after I became the Jiang family's prospective daughter-in-law and really took over the account book, everything was taken care of impeccably, and my aunt's face was not good-looking immediately! I thought I wasn't good enough, but my mother-in-law quietly mentioned it and found out that the problem was that I was doing too well! Comparing my aunt to nothing when she was housekeeping, can she still like me?! After that, every once in a while, there were some mistakes for her to catch, and she was happy! ”

This time, she naturally deliberately sold a flaw so that the He family could teach herself and satisfy the existence of this aunt and mother-in-law.

So after the He clan was satisfied, she went out and asked left and right: "Can that former Chao Dong Xiao Ming'er arrive in Beijing?" ”

The big girl Xian'er hurriedly said: "It should be no problem!" ”

"If you don't arrive tomorrow, the day after tomorrow must come!" A fierce look flashed in He Shuijin's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Pass the word, whatever method you use, you must send things to me before the day after tomorrow - and you can't make a big move!" ”

Xian'er answered and hurriedly ran to make arrangements.

Another big girl, Juan'er, asked curiously, "Why is the young lady so concerned about that hole flute?" Although it is said to be an antiquity of the previous dynasty...... But in our storeroom, there are several better ones than that! ”

"What do you know?" He Shuijin saw that there was no one around, but he still lowered his throat, and said lightly, "The hole flute called 'Xiang Soul Resentment' is said to be a famous Dong Xiao who entered the palace as a concubine in the previous dynasty, and was slandered, and after entering the cold palace, he used a bamboo in the cold palace, without any tools, only with a pair of hands, and worked hard for more than ten years, and polished it hard...... After becoming a flute, she held this flute and played the best song in her life, and the fragrance disappeared - so it is called 'fragrant soul resentment'. ”

Juan'er was puzzled: "But you don't usually care about these?" ”

He Shuijin is calm and shrewd, and has always looked down on the stories of those infatuated men and women, thinking that they are useless except for consuming Chenguang.

"But Uncle Seven was very interested in it before he died!" He Shuijin narrowed his eyes, "It is said that after he heard this story back then, he wanted to send someone to find it...... Unfortunately, he got sick soon after, and then he ......"

"Are you going to give it to the old lady?" Juan'er was stunned.

The seventh master, Jiang Tianjiao, is the only son of Mrs. Tao and the half-brother of Queen Jiang. Qin Guogong's love for this son can be seen from the name "Tianjiao".

Jiang Tianjiao also lived up to his father's expectations, under the teachings of Mrs. Tao, he almost grew up with the name of a prodigy and a genius - so talented, he was also humble and soft, and approachable!

Back then, he was in the limelight, Qiu Jinglan, who entered Hanlin at the age of eighteen, and Jiangyashuang, who entered Hanlin at the age of nineteen this year, can't be compared!

Of course, this is also because Jiang Tianjiao was sixteen years old and wanted to participate in the Spring Festival as Xie Yuan, but he suddenly fell seriously ill, and it disappeared after a few months, which made the grief-stricken Qin Guogong think that he was too sharp, too rigid and easy to break. When it came to Jiang Yashuang, Qin Guogong no longer allowed him to spread his reputation, so in addition to keeping an eye on the Jiang family's queen mother, Jiang Yashuang's talent was only widely known after participating in the county examination.

And if it weren't for Jiang Yashuang's outstanding talent, he would have the strength to be among the top in the world before he reached twenty. If he keeps pressing down, I'm afraid he will be tired, and Qin Guogong even hopes that he can postpone his end again, even if it is delayed until he is thirty years old - it is better than following in the footsteps of Jiang Tianjiao!

…… Because of Jiang Tianjiao's long death, Mrs. Tao's heartache almost followed her son back then-and in Jiang Tianjiao's funeral, Dou's, He's and other daughters-in-law behaved carelessly, and even a little happy in private - except for Queen Jiang, only the younger Tao felt real sadness for the death of this uncle, and in those days, she almost took care of Mrs. Tao without clothes and eyes, so that the old lady felt a trace of comfort, and relying on this comfort, she gradually eased up!

So since then, Mrs. Tao didn't say anything, but in her heart she hated Dou and the others to the core! As for his niece and granddaughter-in-law Xiao Tao, she treats her as if she were her own granddaughter, and does everything possible to conceive for her!

The reason why Dou, He and others were so unwise at the beginning was also for a reason - at that time, Empress Jiang had only entered the palace and had not yet been involved in politics, and her status in her mother's family had not improved much compared to before she left the cabinet. After all, the emperor is such a puppet.

So for the Dou family, or the other children of the Jiang family, the biggest threat is Jiang Tianjiao.

Jiang Tianjiao is dead, and their husband and son don't have to worry about being robbed of resources by Jiang Tianjiao, of course they are happy.

As a result, the queen later interfered in politics, and now the Jiang family is still in charge of Qin Guogong, but Empress Jiang's weight has also jumped above the brothers, and she has become the most important person in the queen's party besides Qin Guogong...... The Dou family, the He family, it was too late to regret it......

He Shuijin is now sending someone to find the cave flute that Jiang Tianjiao wanted to find before his death, and naturally he plans to start with this deceased uncle and brush up on the favorability of Mrs. Tao and Queen Jiang.

"How cost-effective is a hole flute in exchange for the favor of grandmother and the queen?" He Shuijin smiled faintly, "Three days later is the death day of the seventh uncle, we must catch up with this day!" ”

"This hole flute...... Madame's side? Juan'er asked in a low voice.

"It is said that at the funeral of the seventh uncle, the mother had a laughing act, which was seen by the people around the grandmother." He Shui Jin's face was a little strange, "So don't tell your mother, lest after she passes, it will remind my grandmother of unpleasant things...... I'll go and tell my grandmother alone. ”

Juan'er understood: "The maid promises that there will be something that day, and it is the lady who personally called you to ask the old lady!" ”

He Shuijin nodded with satisfaction.

She had just finished brushing Qiu Yulan's favorability here, and she had calculated to please Mrs. Tao and the queen, which could be described as a meticulous calculation - but she didn't know that Empress Jiang in the palace was looking at the secret letters one by one, and sneered: "Oh? That hole flute, it turned out that Xiao Fourteen's daughter-in-law made someone buy it? Now you're speeding up to send it to Kyori? It's kind of interesting! ”

The female official made a fair evaluation: "Although the fourteenth young lady has a plan, she can be regarded as having a lot of thought. ”

"Hongu knows." Empress Jiang nodded, "The most right thing the He family has done in this life is to hire her niece to her son!" ”

"Then the fourteenth young lady turned around and presented the cave flute to the old lady?" The female officer asked for instructions.

"Miss her working so hard, give her some benefits." Empress Jiang said casually, "Especially if she plans to hide it from the He family...... I really don't know what kind of face Heshi will look like when he looks back and knows the news? ”

The female officer pursed her lips: "If you want to motivate the fourteenth young lady to continue to do things for you and the old lady, it's better not to expose her." ”

"Just talking." The queen said lazily, "By the way, how has the nineteenth daughter-in-law behaved in the past two days?" Now that the Jiang family is turbulent and not clever enough, Nineteen will have to worry about her! ”

The female officer pondered for a while before she said, "It's not obvious for the time being—however, the Nineteenth Young Lady doesn't seem to be a person who is willing to suffer." ”

"It's better not to suffer losses!" Empress Jiang snorted, "I'm not afraid that there will be another Zhuang family in the fourth room, anyway, that Zhuang family is not good yet?" Among the daughters-in-law of the Jiang family, there is no one more comfortable than her! I'm afraid that the fourth room will come out again! That's what you can't hold up! As long as Ning Yi sincerely thinks about the nineteenth and is filial to the mother of the palace, what is wrong with her being arrogant? Hongu will speak for her! It's like Qianbin, everyone says it's good, but what is the result? A good daughter-in-law, you can live a life so that a slave can go up and step on it......"

The female official was silent, but she didn't quite agree with her evaluation of Xiao Tao's in her heart: "Mrs. Zhuang and Lord Ning Yi have husbands to rely on, and the former has a son by his side...... Little Dow, what does she have? Yes, the old lady and the mother have pity on her, but the mother relies on her mother's family to interfere in politics, whether it is the mother or the old lady, how dare they be too biased? Otherwise, the other rooms of the Jiang family will not be satisfied...... Guogong will not agree! ”

"Especially where can the eighth prince be brutal? Over the years, are there still fewer concubines who were still loved by him one moment, abandoned by him the next moment, and even annoyed and killed in person?! With such a husband, what else can little Tao do but swallow her anger?! ”

was out of his mind, but he heard a report from the palace outside: "Niangniang, the Seventh Prince is here!" ”

"Wissan?" Empress Jiang handed the secret letter to the female official, motioned for her to take it in and put it away, straightened her clothes, and ordered, "Xuan!" ”

After a while, Chu Weisang, the seventh prince who was dressed in a prince's uniform and had not yet grown in size, but was already quite imposing, went up to the palace alone and bowed: "The son sees the queen mother!" ”

"I don't have to be polite!" Empress Jiang is very indifferent to the princes and princesses who are not her own relatives, including Chu Weisang, who is known as the most intelligent prince in the past.

But since she chose Chu Weisang to fight for the position of the East Palace according to Xue Chang's wishes, she didn't mind behaving closely, and after raising her hand to avoid courtesy, she let him sit on the seat in front of her, "How is today?" ”

Chu Weisang thanked him again before sitting down, and then said: "After the mother is sheltered, everything is fine today for the son." He also said, "I just met the Three Emperor Brothers, and I argued a few sentences about a few words of sages, and the Three Emperor Brothers could not justify themselves, so they brushed their sleeves away!" ”

"My son's wisdom is known to the government and the opposition, how can it be that Concubine Gu is cheap. Can a son of a woman compare? "Although Empress Jiang's feelings for the puppet emperor are like that, it doesn't mean that she can tolerate the concubine stealing. Love-didn't the previous concubine die violently? It's really hard to start with a nephew, otherwise if you change an adulterer, as long as it is not the blood of the Jiang family, the queen will definitely not let it go!

So the queen, who didn't like Gu Guifei in the first place, knew that there were people outside the palace for the concubine, and she hated her more and more - but Xue Chang's weight was far heavier than that of an unfaithful concubine. The queen can only endure it, and only mean Gu Guifei in terms of title, "Your talent is far better than Chu Weize, and you work harder than him, he will discuss the East Palace every day, if you don't choose you, who else can you choose?" ”

Chu Weisang said respectfully: "How can the sons and daughters be able to enter the eyes of the ministers?" All these blessings are the help of the queen mother! ”

"Good students prepare their homework, lest the people on the Queen Mother's side have bad intentions and knock you down." Empress Jiang was very satisfied with his attitude and told him not to relax.

Compared with the determination of Xue Chang's promise on the queen's side, she only needs to tell Chu Weisang to behave well - the atmosphere here is much more tense for the Empress Dowager Gu: "I just met Lao Qi, and I was defeated by him again?" Didn't the mourning family tell you, you have a little ink, just don't answer him! Or let the staff be able to pick up the ...... It's not the first time you've lost to him, what are you going to do with this ugliness?! ”

Danqi next week, the king was silent, and he didn't dare to speak.

The female official advised: "It's also the Seventh Prince's mean words, and His Royal Highness King Zhou couldn't hold back for a while - however, the Seven Princes went back and forth, and they dared to compete with their homework, when it came to general affairs, where could he be worthy of His Royal Highness?" ”

"But he is still young, and the Jiang family does not let him contact general affairs at all under the pretext that he has not completed his studies......" The Queen Mother said this, thoughtfully, "Maybe she is taking advantage of this situation to teach him to deal with general affairs, right?" can't let him 'study' with peace of mind, how many times has he been 'smart, studious and knowledgeable' when he stepped on Weizhou these days? ! ”
