"That's good." Shuhua nodded and said with a smile: "Then you can give me an answer to what I told you last time, right?"

Liuli drank the remaining half bowl of soup and said: "Actually, you know, the thing you said is not for me to be the master, if King Qing succeeds and Qi Yunhao becomes a hero, then we will be able to speak well." But that also depends on how much Song Bi supports the prince. If we die without regrets, then there is nothing we can do. As a king who kills his brother, he will not tolerate the existence of dissent. In fact, even if it were you and me, we would never be soft-hearted and leave a sworn enemy's henchmen alive, would we?"

A deal with Shuhua is inevitable, but with Liuli and Qi Yunhao already falling to Lu Zhao's side, she must divide the forces around the prince as much as possible. If Song Bi can't be controlled by Shuhua, then at least Song Ziyu can. The best situation is that the Song Mansion does not interfere in the prince's affairs, in that case, maybe Lu Zhao may still spare their lives at that time, and the slightly worse is that Song Bi intervenes and Song Ziyu does not ask, so that it will not be able to protect Song Bi and his wife and others, but it can save Song Ziyu and Shuhua, and it is not too much of a loss.

And if Song Ziyu doesn't do anything on the prince's side, even if the prince is in power, he won't be punished, and Shuhua won't have a loss. From this point of view, it is the safest and safest way to first ensure Song Ziyu's neutrality and then fight for Song Bi's position.

This is a path that Liuli hinted at Shuhua, and it is also her condition. After all, this deal is only beneficial for Liuli in the moment, if King Qing fails in the end, the crown prince will be in power, then no one will be able to protect Qi Yunhao and her. If you don't get some money back, how can you get it?

Shuhua was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I won't tell you, the prince is narrow-minded and incompetent, this time because of the retrial of the salary and grain approved by the Holy Emperor, King Qing was found out by the way that he had bent the law for personal gain." It has already made the Holy One very angry. These days it is said that he has been confined to his feet, and even the errand that is also in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been refuted by the Holy Lord. Because of this, Ziyu made up her mind to ask for the transfer of the sixth department. Otherwise. Maybe I won't be coming to you so soon. ”

"What's the Queen's attitude?"

Shuhua's meaning is to show her and Song Ziyu's attitude towards the prince, but Liuli cares about the queen. After all, even if it is the incriminating evidence handed over by Qi Yunhao. The prince was implicated, and the queen couldn't help him, if she wanted to retaliate, she would only look for her. As long as Liuli suffers a loss, isn't it equivalent to Qi Yunhao suffering a loss?

"The saint is furious, and the queen can't do anything." Shuhua said, "Besides, this time it is indeed the prince's failure to handle things." If he could have thought about the long term and knew that Qi Yunhao would retry the matter after returning to the court, he shouldn't have coveted that little bargain, so he let the big man go so lightly. It's a pity he doesn't understand. When a person has not yet reached full power, he cannot cover the sky with one hand. However," she paused and looked at Liuli: "It is said that the queen has frequently summoned women into the palace in the past few days, saying that she is eating tea and talking. Who knows what will happen?"

"Who are the people who have been announced?"

"It is said that all the people above the first grade have been summoned, as well as several Hou Mansion mansions in Beijing, of course, including Mrs. Zhongyong Hou." Shuhua smiled.

Ruri glanced at her and stopped talking.

At this time, the queen summoned the high-grade women into the palace. It may be a narrative, or it may be something calculated through the courtier's back house. Do men have men's battlefields, and women also have women's battles? Otherwise, why can the struggle in the harem always lead to changes in the court situation? In short, among the people who were ordered to enter the palace, there were people from the Loyal and Yong Marquis's Mansion, and things were not so simple.

"Let's eat." She said. Sandwiched a steamed flower duck and put it in Shuhua's bowl, and said, "Has Song Ziyu ever ordered it now?"

Shuhua swallowed the food in her mouth, and the silk printed her lips, and said, "Come down, go to the Ministry of Rites after the New Year." Although it is an idle job, it is always good in the long run to avoid strife. We can't control the in-laws, we always have to think about ourselves, don't you say?" Saying that, he stared at Liuli slightly, not allowing her to avoid it anymore.

Ruri lowered her eyes and nodded. This is a deal, when the men are desperate in front for the interests of the family, they are also acting for their families in the rear, and if they can't do it, they will seek help for themselves and their families as much as possible.

"Speaking of next year, do you know that next year will be another trial year?"

After eating halfway, Shuhua suddenly said again.

Liuli hummed and wrote lightly: "Our family doesn't have any children who want to test their fame, what do you tell me to do?"

Shuhua stared at her: "You really don't know, Du Rui is also preparing for the exam, and besides, he pushed away so many girls, in order to prove to the world that he can also stand in the court like Qi Yunhao, you really don't know?"

Liuli missed a beat in her heart, withdrew her chopsticks, and put them down with a snap, "I'm already a married woman, what are you telling me about this?" He is the grandfather of the generational heir, what do you need to prove to the world? What does it have to do with him if Qi Yun Hao is not based on the imperial court?"

Shuhua raised her lips: "You see that you are excited." I know that you are a married woman, and I don't want him to get involved between the two of you again, but he has worked very hard in the past few years, and it is said that the ranking in the township test is quite high, if he wins the test again and then enters the imperial court, I am afraid that there will be more opportunities to meet Qi Yunhao. I heard that in front of Qi Yunhao, people who are familiar with Du Rui's name dare not mention it. ”

Liuli glared at her, and it took a long time to retract her chaotic gaze, "Let's eat!" ”

The chopsticks pulled the dishes in the bowl, but they couldn't eat them. She really didn't know that Qi Yunhao was so taboo about Du Rui, he hadn't mentioned it to her once except for the quarrel, and she thought that since they reconciled, he had put this layer aside.

After eating, the two of them gathered around the study to eat tea by the stove, but it was a bit like talking to her heart when she was a girl in He Mansion, Shuhua looked at the words she had written recently, and talked about poetry again, and after a while, she couldn't help sighing: "After getting married, you will have children, husband and children, and you have to socialize from time to time, these things have really been left behind for a long time." I think that Mr. Guo's thoughts on me have been in vain. Inevitably talking about Guo Yao again, Liuli also received a letter from her before getting married, only to say that she had a very happy time in Jiangnan, and now she has gone to a few letters, but there has been no reply, and I don't know how.

"When things around me are taken care of in the future, I will always have to go to Jiangnan for a walk." Liuli sighed, Guo Yao's place of residence is in the same town as her former residence, and every time she hears someone mention Guo Yao, she can't help but think of that quiet place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Speaking of the memories of that place, it is still a matter of the previous life, after being broken in and searched, I don't know if Uncle Xu and Uncle Jin have restored his grandfather's old residence.

"Gangnam—"

Shuhua was about to speak, when Chunxiang came in outside the door and said, "Grandma, the second grandmother heard that her aunt was coming, and she said outside the door that she wanted to come in and sit."

Liuli suddenly set his eyes on Shuhua, Shuhua took a sip of tea, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "When did I have such a big face?" Liuli smiled and said to Chunxiang: "Go back to the second grandmother, just say that the fourth aunt and grandmother are not empty here, please go back to the Song Mansion next time to see."

Haruka went. Shuhua put down her hand with a smile and said, "Since the eldest master and the Yu family have fallen, you still allow her to wander around in front of you, but you are really calm." She has reached the point where she wants to climb others, if she depends on me, simply give her a good time! - Forget it, I'm too lazy to mess with trouble here, so let's go. ”

Saying that, he stood up, "Come over again in the first month of the New Year to greet the New Year." ”

Liuli saw that she really wanted to leave, so she had to come out and send her off.

With what Shuhua said about Du Rui, when he returned to the room, Liuli still felt like he had tied a knot, and he explained that Fan Yun and Kikyo would take the silver to do things together, and asked Rui'er to go to Wu Zhong to get the roster, and he was still a little absent-minded when he was free, and he didn't know what Qi Yunhao was thinking, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to simply tell him to understand, so he waited for him to come back in the house.

It's also hard to wait, it happened that Ji Xiaoquan came, talking about looking for a shop in the past few days, and took a few store lists for sale for her to see.

"Two are single-storey gates with backyards, and two are two-storey shops with single-storey livestock yards. The façade is suitable for teahouses and cloth businesses, and the two-storey shops are suitable for running wine shops and restaurants. The price of a single-storey façade is relatively cheaper, and you can get it within 15,000. The two-story shop at the intersection of the street should be at least 20,000 taels, and the other in the middle of the street should be 15,000 to 18,000 taels. More than eighty percent of the shops in the whole alley are restaurants, and there are several other large restaurants located in the vicinity of the Lianxiang Building, which is slightly inferior to the West Lake Building, and the land price has risen in the past two years. ”

"Since the price of land has risen and business is good, why are there shops for sale?" Ruri asked.

"These two single-storey facades belong to one person, and that person is also an official and businessman, because the family moved to the south, and no one takes care of it, so they have to vacate it. The restaurant at the corner of the street was changed to make silkworms, and sold the shop and bought the land. And the restaurant shop in the middle of the street," Ji Xiaoquan glanced at her, suddenly took half a step closer, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from grandma, this restaurant shop is Yu's dowry shop." After the Yu family was detained, He Tingfang, the second master in the big house, quietly stole these out and cashed out, and now he was in a hurry to make a move, just to prevent the uncle He Tingfang and his family from finding out. ”

Yu's dowry shop?

Liuli looked down at the list in his hand again,—— this is interesting! It's really crooked on the top beam and crooked on the bottom beam! The Yu family was greedy for the silver in He Fugongzhong, but now that he is not dead, the dowry shop in his hand was taken out and sold by his own son! If Yu knew about this, I don't know if he would be angry directly?
