Chapter Seventy-Four: Xue Xiang's Scheme
The northern Xinjiang was all the way, and Mrs. Tao's letter was sent away, and Jiangyashuang came back in the dust.
He is still the leader this time, and he is returning to Beijing with a Xie Yuan as Queen Tongjiang said before.
For this reason, Qin Guogong was very happy, although he was afraid that Jiang Yashuang would be proud, so he insisted on not setting up a banquet for him to celebrate, but he greatly rewarded him in private.
Jiang Yashuang left the Qin State Mansion, and first went to the other courtyard to meet his grandmother, Mrs. Taoβthe old lady asked a few words, and then sent him to see Jiang Qianyue and them: "You were not there when your uncle and uncle came back, and now you should go and ask for peace." If they want to keep food, you can use it there. β
"Grandson obeys grandmother's orders!" Jiang Yashuang went to Jibei Hou and his wife non-stop, as the youngest grandchild of the Jiang family, he has a good temperament and is successful in his studies, so naturally he is very favored no matter which elder he goes to.
Jibei Hou and his wife not only kept his meal, but also pulled him to ask him for a long time after the meal, and then released him.
At this time, it was getting late, so Jiang Yashuang had no choice but to send someone to send a message to the Ruan family and go back to the other courtyard to settle down.
On the Ruan family's side, the Qiu Jinglan brothers and sisters were also relieved when they received the good news: "Xie Yuan? That's great! β
Although Qiu Jinglan was already a junior at Jiang Yashuang's age, he didn't get Xie Yuan - even in the boy's exam, he didn't even get the capital...... Now that the prospective brother-in-law has won two yuan, Qiu Jinglan is naturally happy for her sister, and after thinking about it, she asked Qiu Yulan: "He is so good at school, you have to hurry up your homework!" lest you not be able to talk about it together when you get it, and be taken advantage of by others! β
Qiu Yulan wailed in her heart, secretly thinking that you were too thoughtful!
She pretended not to hear this, and said, "Will you tell him about the autumn wind tomorrow?" β
"First ask him what he has done on the road and the township!" Qiu Jinglan glared at her, "It's been a long way for people to return to Beijing, so why don't you say a few warm words!" β
"......" Qiu Yulan had the urge to vomit blood, "Who was so vicious to him in the first place?" "Don't pretend to be innocent and accuse me of not being gentle enough, you are hundreds of times better than me being gentle!
Qiu Jinglan said calmly: "If you don't treat him badly, how do you know that he is sincere to you?" β
Well, you always have a point!!
Qiu Yulan decisively changed the topic: "Dabai it ...... yesterday"
β¦β¦ Although he mixed up in front of Qiu Jinglan, Qiu Jinglan was still dragged up early in the morning the next day!
Because she also has a cousin, Ruan Ciyi!
Ruan Ciyi has always had a good impression of Jiang Yashuang, and now that he heard that he understood Yuan, he had a better impression! But while her favorability increased, she also felt a lot of crisis for Qiu Yulan: "My family background is good, my studies are good, and my temper is better!" Who doesn't want such talents? If you don't hurry, don't be taken advantage of! Even if you can't shake your position as a wife, a nail in the backyard is enough for you to have a headache! β
So, "Come on, come on, try these dresses!" Try it out, go to the kitchenette, pick your favorite dishes and make two dishes! When he is left for lunch, ask your brother to tell him about the dishes you made for him......"
It's not over yet, "I told your brother, after they finished talking in a while, leave you some time to talk alone, you remember to ask more about the hard work of the road and the hard work of the autumn test, and pretend to be a little considerate and virtuous for me!" β
In the afternoon of this day, Qiu Jinglan was called away by Ruan Ciyi, and Qiu Jinglan told Jiang Yashuang 1510, and said sadly: "...... Don't come in the future, otherwise my eldest cousin will definitely force me to go to the kitchen three times and twice! β
Jiang Yashuang laughed when she heard this: "This is sincerity, is it open for gold and stone?" It turns out that Sister Ruan loves me like this, and I must give her a generous gift! β
He said happily, "I can be regarded as having tasted your craftsmanship, which is even better than what the chef makes!" β
"I'll just say I'm good at it, right?" Qiu Yulan was triumphant, "Zhuang Man, she came to me every once in a while, just to eat the food I made myself......"
Before he finished speaking, he was taken into his arms by Jiang Yashuang - he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I just heard from my brother that you got up early and made me those dishes, and I was moved! It turns out that when Zhuang Man came, you cooked for her and cooked for her?! So what am I? β
"You're still a cousin! That's a lot of weight! Qiu Yulan funnily poked his finger in the chest, "Who told you that you weren't there?" Otherwise, I can stop you from eating? β
Jiang Yashuang sneered and said, "No need to explain - I'll just ask you one thing: every time I come over next?" β
"I'll cook for you!" Qiu Yulan chirped, "Okay, let's not talk about this, did my brother tell you about Qiu Feng?" β
Jiang Yashuang said: "A few words, I don't know much about this matter, go back and ask my grandmother and sister to talk about it." β
"And what's going on with the Seven Princes?" What is the inside story of the queen party's candidate for the prince, Qiu Yulan has been guessing for a long time, and she has never figured it out, this will be Jiang Yashuang's return, she naturally can't wait to ask.
Jiang Yashuang snorted: "Originally, the fourth aunt planned to choose King Lu, but just as he was about to decide, Xue Chang put on a table and said that the prince was still smart and resolute, otherwise like the last time the earth moved, King Qi behaved very inappropriately, far less calm than King Yan - of course, King Yan's blessings are not enough." β
Qiu Yulan was surprised when she heard this: "Xue Xiang would say that? "Isn't this talking for the Queen Mother?
"If it weren't for the party's struggle, the East Palace would have chosen the virtuous to benefit the country." Jiang Yashuang said calmly, "Xue Chang's position is not surprising to say such things, to be honest, before the ground moved, I also felt that the King of Qi was really not on the table." β
"But he said this after Xue Rongying almost hung up!" Qiu Yulan muttered in his heart, "Even if he doesn't bother with the Empress Dowager Gu because Xue Rongying is not dead in the end, there is no reason to step on the Jiang family when he moves out of the ground, right?" You have to give me, the prospective daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, face, right? β
She thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know the truth about Xue Rongying's injury?" β
"Your idea of 'amnesia' is very good, I heard from my brother that Concubine Gu and Qiu Shen really sent someone to visit the Xue family - I don't think Empress Dowager Gu will know about it when she arrives here." Jiang Yashuang said with a smile, "The ants are still greedy for life, and your plan is to hit the nail on the head!" β
"Then Xue Xiang still said such things?!" Qiu Yulan was stunned.
Jiang Yashuang laughed, reached out and rubbed her face vigorously: "Silly girl, Xue Chang is clearly digging a pit for Empress Dowager Gu!" Anyway, whether it is King Lu or the seventh prince, they can't get off the palm of my fourth aunt, so what about changing one? Do you think that if the fourth aunt chooses King Lu, Xue Chang will still fall to him, even if Gu Guifei does not confess, can the Queen Mother not see Xue Chang's partiality? β
"But now this Seven Princes is recognized as the smartest among the princes, to put it mildly, King Zhou, who is inferior to King Yan, even King Yan's reputation is not as good as him, what is strange if Xue Changruo falls to him in the battle for the prince? There was no prince in this dynasty, and the eldest son of the emperor was also proved to be unblessed by the earth's movements...... Isn't it time to be virtuous? β
Qiu Yulan suddenly said: "So Xue Xiang doesn't plan to take revenge, but he plans to forbear first, and it is also forbearance to pave the way for the Jiang family?" β
"This credit should be given to you!" Jiang Yashuang lowered her head and kissed her on the forehead, smiling, "If you hadn't saved Xue Rongying, how could there be such a good thing?" β
"This is also Xue Xiang's kindness, benevolence and righteousness to my brother, otherwise I don't know Xue Rongying, and I don't think about Xue Xiang's sake, how can I use such a precious pill to save him?" Qiu Yulan groaned, "So Xue Xiang plans to secretly join forces with your family and maintain the status quo on the surface?" β
Sure enough, none of the important ministers can be mixed with fuel-efficient lamps - Xue Chang is clearly going to fight under the banner of justice and selflessness for the country and the people, and to declare personal vendetta openly and honestly!
It is no wonder that Empress Jiang made a substitution on the spot, replacing the mediocre and incompetent King Lu with the recognized intelligent Seventh Prince.
It's just that although Xue Chang's move is a good thing for the entire queen party, it is an eyesore for a few people - that night, Qin Guogong and Jibei Hou gathered their nephews and staff members to gather in the study to discuss the matter of fighting for the crown.
As soon as Jiang Tianqiao came up, he said: "Xue Chang's statement is too refreshing, there shouldn't be any fraud in this, right?" β
Jiang Tianqi has always been at odds with this lobby brother, so he said lukewarmly at this moment: "Big brother is too suspicious, who doesn't know that Xue Xiang regards Xue Rongying as the heir to the mantle, even if he wants to make a bitter plan, it is impossible for Xue Rongying to really risk his life!" That Xue Rongying's injury, but Qi Shuluo saw it, Qi Shuluo has always been a member of our family-is not the eldest brother suspects that we instigated Qi Shuluo to lie to you?! β
"Third brother, you think too much, I just think, although Xue Rongying is still alive and near death, he is not dead in the end." Jiang Tianqiao said lightly, "With such a loss, Xue Chang may not be able to afford it!" At this moment, he is happy to form an alliance with our family, shouldn't he be cautious? β
"If it was the eldest brother who you brought him over, probably you wouldn't suspect it, right?" Jiang Tianqi looked at him with a sneer, and said in a weird manner, "It's just that although the fourth brother has been in Northern Xinjiang for many years, can't he be in the limelight in his room?" β
Qin Guogong frowned slightly: "First take out the charter of seizing the prince, and Xue Chang said that he would cooperate with us, and when the time comes, we will know whether he fulfills his promise or not." β
Jiang Tianqiao and Jiang Tianqi knew that they had provoked the displeasure of their elders, so they were busy silencing.
"Guogong, a certain thief thinks that since the Seven Princes are recognized as the smartest among the princes, then they might as well suppress the King of Zhou in a dignified manner and enter the East Palace! This can not only make the ministers have nothing to say, but also facilitate the cover of Xue Xiang's statement; It also seems that the queen mother is discerning, not like the Queen Mother Gu who chooses the prince! After a short silence, one of the staff members came out and said, "I wonder what the prince thinks?" β
Qin Guogong and Jibei Hou glanced at each other and bowed slightly: "That's a good word." "This is also their plan - since there is an advantage, of course it must be carried forward.
"It's just that no matter how smart the Seventh Prince is, he is only fourteen years old now." Most people agreed with this idea, but some people raised concerns about the details, "Maybe he is good academically, this is the origin of the prince's intelligent evaluation." But in terms of being in the world, after all, he is not as good as King Zhou, who is a few years older than him, right? β
"And the prince has reached the age of living alone in a palace, so it is not suitable to raise him in front of the queen mother." Someone said quietly, "In this way, it seems that we should hire a division for the prince and instruct him to suppress King Zhou and show his reputation and talent?" β
Jiang Tianqi glanced at the person who said this, and saw that it was a staff member who was friendly with Jiang Tianqi, he sneered in his heart, and asked lightly on his face: "Then who should be this teacher?" β
"Xue Xiang is old, and now he has to worry about his grandson, and he is not the Jiang family after all." The staff really set his eyes on Jiang Tianqiao - but the following words had not yet been spoken, and Jiang Yashuang, who had been standing quietly behind Qin Guogong and was silent, suddenly intercepted: "Do you want to discuss this matter with the fourth aunt first?" β
The "......" room was coldly stunned by such a sentence for a while, and only then did the Marquis of Jibei break the silence with a dry cough: "What Nineteen said is that even if the queen mother agrees to hire a teacher for the seventh prince, this candidate should also tell the mother to call the shots...... Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the recent movements of the Gu family! β
After everyone dispersed that night, Qin Guogong called Jiang Yashuang back again: "You don't seem to want your uncle to be the teacher of the Seven Princes?" β
"Just now, you and your uncle are here, and the third uncle is still raising the bar with the uncle everywhere, which shows the depth of resentment between the two uncles." Jiang Yashuang said calmly, "Now the first priority is to deal with the Queen Mother and the Gu family first, my grandfather once said that the fierce lion and the rabbit also need to do their best, but this will be before the seventh prince enters the East Palace, the two uncles are pinched first, what is this good thing for the Jiang family?" So the grandson dared to speak out. β
Qin Guogong looked at him: "Is it really for the sake of the Jiang family, not because of your starling brother's affairs to hate your uncle?" β
"Father and mother are in charge of this matter, how can there be a place for grandchildren to speak?" Jiang Yashuang asked rhetorically.
"And what is your father going to do?" Qin Guo asked fairly, "In the first half of the year, Ou Bicheng suddenly came back and privately brought you the volume of the Law of Soldiers, which seems to have been quietly copied from your second brother by your father?" It seems that Xiao Er has been raising obscurity under your father for all these years, but he has still exposed his feet...... But you don't know what your father wants to do with him? Is it like your uncle did to your starling, and make him a waste, or do you simply eradicate him, so as not to get in your way?! β
Jiang Yashuang's pupils contracted suddenly!
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my grandfather!" His face changed drastically for a moment, and he exhaled, "Bicheng came back suddenly, and he was indeed entrusted by his father. However, my father didn't mention how to treat the second brother, but just encouraged the three of us brothers to work hard and not to be compared to the second brother! β
