Chapter Thirty-Eight: Counting is Counting Pawns

"What are you afraid of, if you are really turned into such an identity by Nie Tailin, my grandfather is afraid that he will make trouble with this old life."

Qu Qingwen looked at Qu Qingyan's face and changed instantly, and couldn't help but be a little funny, Qu Wenhai is a Beijing official of the third grade, if the junior in the family is really intercepted and sent to be a junior, his old face will be completely lost.

Qu Qingyan rubbed his nose and smiled, this kind of thing, if you don't spread it on yourself, you will never know how bad it will be.

Beiwangzhai is still Beiwangzhai, Qu Wenhai did not forget his heart because he was transferred to the capital, the two were introduced into the study, and Qu Wenhai was already standing by the window with his hands waiting for them.

"How does it feel to study in Guozijian?"

"There are lecturers and Confucians to teach, and the grandchildren have benefited a lot." Qu Qingwen took half a step forward to answer on his behalf.

"Well, very well, you must always remember that it is the purpose of the Guozijian to go, and don't waste your studies because of miscellaneous matters."

"Yes, my grandson knows." The two of them spoke at the same time, especially respectfully.

"Qingwen, you go down first, I have something to say to Qingyan."

Qu Qingwen hesitated and didn't want to leave, and was reprimanded by Qu Wenhai, so he reluctantly retreated to the door.

Qu Qingyan stood there obediently, Qu Wenhai didn't say anything, so she didn't ask a word.

After a long time, a long sigh came from the window, she lowered her head and listened to the sound of the shaking of the thin rope of clothes, and when she looked up again, she saw that Qu Wenhai had already approached.

There seemed to be an unspeakable hesitation on his wrinkled face.

"Qingyan, that ...... The Nie family ...... there"

Qu Wenhai was a little speechless after saying a few words, Qu Qingyan raised his head to look at him, it shouldn't be a good thing to say that he was struggling like this.

Sure enough, as soon as this thought came to mind, Qu Wenhai gritted his teeth and continued: "Qingyan, do you know the situation in the court now? ”

This is the problem...... She has to be unaware, and if you're not in the game, no one will tell you the rules. Qu Qingyan didn't understand Qu Wenhai's hesitation, so he only rolled his eyes and nodded.

Speaking the first sentence, the rest is like an unscrewed floodgate, and Qu Wenhai no longer hesitates: "Grandfather may as well tell you that there are three forces in the current dynasty, one faction is headed by the first assistant of the cabinet, Lord Zhang, the other faction is headed by Nie Qichen, the head of the Huichang Bo, and the remaining faction is centered on the Metropolitan Procuratorate and is dedicated to the rectification of the dynasty, which you know for the time being."

"My grandfather was promoted by the cabinet Lord Qian and the first assistant Lord Zhang to enter Beijing, and he had to do his best to repay their kindness." Therefore, his position has been divided into the faction of Zhang Qianyuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, since he entered Beijing.

Outside the door, the wind suddenly rose, and the dead branches and gravel on the ground slapped on the doors and windows, making a popping sound, interrupting Qu Wenhai's words.

He suddenly relaxed, paced in the room, and the shadow above Qu Qingyan's head dissipated, and she realized that what she said just now obviously didn't say anything, but it still made her heart beat extremely violently.

"Qingyan, do you know why Lord Zhang and Master Nie can't get along?"

"The point of view is different."

Qu Qingyan can answer this point without thinking about it, the first assistant Zhang Qianyuan was born in a Tanhua, and it took 20 years of ups and downs in the court to get to the position of today's Wenyuan Pavilion scholar, prince Taibao, and secretary of the ministry.

People who rely on timing and ability to get up step by step look down on the Nie family, a 'nouveau riche' who relies on their daughters.

Before Emperor Jing ascended the throne, Nie Qichen was just a five-grade petty official, after Emperor Jing succeeded to the throne, the whole world celebrated, and there were Queen Nie and the prince blowing wind in their ears, Nie Qichen was rewarded and instantly jumped from an unknown person to a commander of the three-grade brocade guard who held real power.

This kind of person who climbed up by nepotism was once proud, how could he look at Zhang Qianyuan and even the cabinet in his eyes, especially several people in the cabinet who are afraid that they also have their own ghosts.

This kind of thing can already be understood without others dialing Qu Qingyan, but she still doesn't understand Qu Wenhai's true purpose.

Qingyan is really smart, and it is indeed because of different points of view.

"Lord Zhang advocates the rule of law by etiquette, and Lord Nie's subordinates and even Lord Nie's family regard etiquette and law as nothing, and after causing chaos several times, they don't care about going to the cabinet to draw folds, which makes several adults embarrassed.

"So, when Master Zhang found out about you, he suggested that grandfather should not do it like this."

What is called counting is counting!

After covering up so much, you still have to push her into the fire pit, right?

Qu Qingyan stared at Qu Wenhai deadly: "Grandfather, grandson doesn't understand what you're talking about. ”

"How can you not understand this!" Qu Wenhai drank sharply, and came into contact with her stubborn gaze in mid-air, and knew that this kind of thing needed his cooperation, and his voice couldn't help but drop a little: "Qingyan, grandfather knows that this matter is a little wronged by you, but Master Zhang has promised that once you are on the list next year, he will definitely leave a place for you in the Hanlin Academy." ”

"Grandfather, grandson don't want to."

Her daughter was forbidden to take any risks.

Qu Wenhai patted her on the shoulder: "Master Zhang and Master Qian are ready for this matter, Qingyan, I have wronged you." "It's up to you whether you want to or not.

Qu Qingyan walked out of the study with his shoulders down, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the tips of Qu Qingwen's ears and nose were red from the cold, and he rubbed his hands in front of him desperately, as if he was not lightly frozen.

Hearing the noise, he turned his head and smiled when he saw her, and beckoned to her.

It turned out that he had been waiting outside, and this realization made the resentment in her heart dissipate slightly.

No matter whether others are doing the game or not, she can't hide after all, others will do what they want, she can't also resign herself to fate, but what do you have to do to protect herself? She didn't have any thoughts for a moment.

"Why is Big Brother still outside? But still have something to look for your grandfather? ”

"It's really unconscionable, big brother isn't worried about you. Let's go, go to your yard and say. ”

Most of the houses in Beijing are wide open and closed, boxy, decent, the two walk briskly along the bluestone paved road, the houses of the four brothers are connected in one place, and the plaques are picked up from the old mansion in Kaifeng and hung on it.

Qu Qingyan looked at the word Juyuan on the plaque, and always felt that if this name was not replaced, it would really be a metaphor for her sad life.

"Fourth brother?"

"Big brother, you said that we have all entered Beijing, should there be some new atmosphere to change all these plaques?"

She asked seriously, and Qu Qingwen also replied seriously: "The fourth brother didn't know anything in Shandong before, and the plaques in all the courtyards in the house were asked by my grandfather from Mr. Wu, the grandfather has always felt extremely honored for this, and this time I entered Kyoto and specially ordered someone to send the plaque, and it is not easy to change it." ”

Qu Qingyan: "......" is just a broken plaque that still has a big background, she raised her eyes and swept away, and felt that the chrysanthemums on the plaque were sketched out at random, as if they were laughing at her next absurdity.
