Lin Qingwan sent Mrs. Xie and them away with the front foot, and ushered in Wang Xie with the back foot.

For the aunt of the deceased husband, Lin Qingwan had only heard of it and had not seen it, it was still before, the two families learned the information as in-laws, Mrs. Xie never mentioned it to her at all, if she hadn't been paying attention to the situation of the Xie family, I was afraid that she would not know that she had returned to Beijing.

Lin Qingwan was too lazy to deal with her, so she directly sent her away, and hid back to make up for sleep.

Wang Xie didn't expect that she couldn't even enter the gate, she couldn't help but look up at the plaque of the county lord's mansion, it seemed that the relationship between the two sides was even more rigid than she thought.

She couldn't help frowning, Lin Qingwan is very hot in Beijing now, it's not a good thing that the relationship between the Xie family and her is so poor, why doesn't her father care?

She didn't know that Xie Hong didn't want to care, but Mrs. Xie's heart knot was there, unless Xie Yiyang was allowed to pay for his life, otherwise this heart knot would be difficult to open.

So Xie Hong couldn't manage it at all.

Wang Xie hesitated, did not dwell on it anymore, but turned to leave.

She was not familiar with Lin Qingwan, so she dared to ask to see her for fear that it would backfire.

It's better to inquire and ask the Chinese to reconcile.

The family is not harmonious, the house is discordant, and in the end, it is the Xie family that suffers.

Wang Xie got into the carriage and left, and before the car drove out of the street, a group of people rode fast horses past her.

Because this place is close to the imperial city, it is not a powerful person to enter and exit, so the driver subconsciously avoided the side when he saw the convoy.

When the convoy passed, Wang Xie opened the curtain and looked out, only to see a white figure surrounded by everyone and stopped at the side door of the county lord's mansion.

One of them jumped off his horse and knocked on the door, and she vaguely heard: "General Zhong is coming to visit, quickly inform your county lord." ”

Wang Xie put down the curtain, her eyes became darker, and she said to the coachman, "Go back to Xie's house." ”

Zhong Ruying only returned to the capital the day before yesterday, and lived in the palace for two days in a row, but he didn't expect to come to the county lord's mansion to visit him when he left the palace today.

She really had to talk to her father.

Lin Qingwan just lay down, she didn't want to get up at all, Zhong Ruying strode in, saw her lying on the couch, her eyes closed, she couldn't help but lighten her steps, and asked Bai Mei in a low voice: "Sick?" ”

Bai Mei also said in a low voice: "I'm tired, my aunt and grandmother haven't slept well in the past two days." ”

"What is she busy with?"

Bai Mei didn't speak.

Lin Qingwan opened her eyes and looked at the two of them silently, Zhong Ruying's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward with a smile, "Sister is awake?" ”

"You woke me up."

Bai Mei bowed her head in shame, Lin Qingwan waved her hand and said, "Go make tea, ask for hot tea." ”

Bai Mei left in response, and Lin Qingwan looked at Zhong Ruying, "Why are you here?" ”

"Come and ask my sister for the guilt," Zhong Ruying said and said to Lin Qingwan: "Please ask my sister for forgiveness for the previous matter." ”

"If I don't forgive, I can still fall out with you now?"

As soon as Zhong Ruying heard this, she knew that her anger had not subsided, so she stood straight in front of her couch, hanging her head like a child who confessed her mistakes, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but sigh, "Why do you bother, you have military power, and you have the favor of Your Majesty, why bother with this?" ”

"His hand is too long."

Lin Qingwan shook her head, "Don't say that he just accepted a daughter of the Qi family, he just accepted your Zhong family, can they really take away the military power from you?" ”

A few years ago, the Second Prince's Mansion accepted a concubine, who was a member of the Qi family, but unfortunately, her brother had a son who was selected by Mrs. Qi as one of the heirs.

Perhaps it was because her nephew was designated by Mrs. Qi as one of Zhong Ruying's heirs that she was accepted into the mansion by the second prince.

Lin Qingwan didn't believe that Zhong Ruying would have no way to solve this matter.

She has the final say on the inheritance, not to mention that the other party is just the heir candidate set by Mrs. Qi, even if the emperor personally intervenes in the decision, she has a way to make the other party unable to inherit the Zhong family.

Where is the use of gambling with the entire Zhong family army now?

Zhong Ruying pursed her lips, looked at her and said, "Although I and him will not live or die for you, but if he is good, I will definitely not be good, if I am good, he will not be good." We all know that. ”

Zhong Ruying vaguely knew what Lin Qingwan was minding, and said: "He has been moving constantly over the years, but I have only recently chosen the fourth prince, sister, although I hate him, but I will not gamble on the future of Daliang, since I choose the fourth prince, it is naturally a decision made after careful consideration." ”

Lin Qingwan's face softened slightly, and Zhong Ruying saw it and continued to say: "The relationship between me and him is like between you and the Xie family, unless one side falls, otherwise it will not stop." ”

Lin Qingwan fell silent.

Seeing that she was not so angry, Zhong Ruying sat on her couch and asked with a smile, "What have you been busy with lately, I don't come to see you, why don't you enter the palace to say goodbye?" ”

Lin Qingwan said lightly: "Cui Shangshu is seriously ill, and I am in a bad mood. ”

Zhong Ruying was stunned, "What does Old Man Cui have to do with you?" ”

Lin Qingwan glanced at her and said, "Cui Shangshu and my father are old friends, and now he has stepped down, Xie Hong is one of the candidates for Hubu Shangshu, what do you say we have to do with each other?" ”

Nature is a relationship of interest.

Zhong Ruying then remembered that this matter was the most lively in the court now, so lively that everyone didn't have the heart to pay attention to the second prince's blockade of Hongzhou.

Zhong Ruying frowned, "Those old ministers in the court are very grinding, there are many capable people in the younger generation, but there are not many left in their generation, Xie Hong has enough qualifications and abilities, and his chances of winning are indeed quite high if he really wants to grab it." ”

Lin Qingwan couldn't help but knock on her knee and said, "Cui Shibo said that the left waiter of the household department is capable enough. ”

Zhong Ruying thought for a while, frowned and shook his head: "He is too young and has no family backing, so the ministers of the DPRK and China will not agree." ”

Lin Jiang and Lu Zhen, and her ability to rank among the most important ministers at a young age, in addition to their abilities, is their family background.

The accumulation of their family is their backing.

Therefore, being an official in this era not only depends on appearance, but also on family background.

Lin Qingwan silently bowed a tear of sympathy for the left servant of the household department in her heart.

But the way is still to think, "Since the left servant of the household department is capable, the household department will not be chaotic with him in charge, as long as you choose another person with prestige or power as the leader, as long as that person trusts the left servant of the household department enough, the household will not be chaotic." ”

"How can there be such a person in the DPRK?" Zhong Ruying sneered: "You can't let someone be the head official but not take charge of the household department, right?" How can you guarantee that the left squire of the household department is willing to make wedding clothes for others? ”

"What do you think of the Four Princes?" Lin Qingwan asked directly.

Zhong Ruying was taken aback, "He? How could he be the first official? ”

"Experience, things are done by Zuo Shilang, he will learn from it, as long as the minister of the town and the central government is good." Lin Qingwan said: "Don't you want him to be the emperor, then he always has to learn something, not to be proficient, but to understand a little bit of everything, so that he will not be blind when dealing with political affairs in the future." ”

Zhong Ruying lowered her eyes and thought about it, and said, "It's just that I can't mention this matter." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, "It's also hard for me to mention it, so my sister has to find someone to knock on the side of Your Majesty, and it is best to mention it by the eldest princess or the queen." ”

Zhong Ruying frowned and pondered.

Lin Qingwan: "Cui Shangshu will be mentioned by me." ”

"Will he answer you?"

Lin Qingwan thought of Cui Shangshu's wooing that night, and said with a slight smile: "Cui Shibo is also a father and grandfather, and he always has to think about his children and grandchildren." ”

She didn't need Cui Shangshu to stand up, as long as he said something tendentiously in front of the emperor.

Zhong Ruying turned around twice on the spot, and finally said, "Okay, I'll go find the eldest princess." ”

The emperor is going to have a family banquet in the evening, Lin Qingwan and Zhong Ruying are also invited, in addition to the second prince who is still imprisoned, the emperor's sons and daughters, grandsons and grandchildren are also here.

There is no way, he does not have many family members, and his three grandsons plus the second, third and fourth princes who have already married only have seven grandchildren.

Lin Qingwan and Zhong Ruying are single again, and there are fewer people, just like an ordinary family banquet.

The queen glanced behind Lin Qingwan and asked with concern, "Why didn't Yubin come?"

Lin Qingwan got up and bowed and replied: "Back to Niangniang, my mother-in-law is unwell, Yubin accompanied her to live in the Taoist temple for a few days, and she is not in Beijing. ”

"Is it Mrs. Xie?" Queen's Road; "I remember that she was younger than me, how can she look inferior to me?"

Lin Qingwan's face was a little sad, and she forced a smile and said: "Niangniang everything is smooth, her body and mind are happy, and she is naturally healthy and long-lived." ”

The emperor patted the heads of the two younger sons and asked them to take their three nephews to play, and when he heard this, he asked casually, "What, your mother-in-law is in a bad mood?" ”

"There are too many things in the Xie family, and my mother-in-law has been in a bad spirit since her husband left, so she can't help but be a little negligent." Lin Qingwan said: "After all, I am a returning daughter, and it is not good to meddle in the affairs of the Xie family, so I can occasionally take her to live at home, and do my filial piety." ”

The emperor frowned when he heard this, he was already thinking about Xie Yan taking over the affairs of the household department, but if his family was restless, he was afraid that someone would take advantage of it.

Lin Qingwan stopped at the point, turned her head and toasted with the eldest princess and said, "I heard that my sister is going to hold a literary meeting, I can't go, and I ask my sister to forgive me." ”

Princess Yuanhua smiled: "I know that you can't spare time, you just have to be busy first." said that it was a literary meeting, but it was just a banquet for Ruying to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”

The emperor said, "Don't be too extravagant and wasteful. ”

"Father, don't worry, your birthday is approaching, and all the money is reserved for your birthday."

"I don't want you, even if I live my life, and I also put thrift first, if any of you is extravagant and disturbs the people, be careful to beat you."

When the princes and princesses saw that the emperor finally used his own name, they immediately got up and answered "yes", saying that they would be thrifty.

The eldest princess took the opportunity to ask about the household department, and Daliang even had female generals, so naturally there was no so-called rule that women could not participate in politics.

The emperor often consulted the empress on political affairs, and as their daughter, the eldest princess never shied away from participating in politics.

The emperor didn't think it was a secret, and listed several candidates proposed by the court.

The eldest princess said: "These people, the talented are powerless, and the powerful are not enough, but I am afraid that they will not be able to be the head of the household." ”

The emperor glanced at Lin Qingwan and said, "Yes, among the few people, Xie Hong can see some, and both are available." ”

Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and drank tea.

The eldest princess nodded slightly, "Then the father is going to thank Si Nong?" ”

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's take another look." ”

The eldest princess didn't say anything more, just raised her glass and touched a glass with the third prince and the fourth prince, she didn't say it, Zhong Ruying and Lin Qingwan naturally wouldn't mention it.

Lin Qingwan thought that this matter still had to be grinded, but who knew that the guards who were staring at Xie Yiyang ran back the next day to report: "Auntie, Xie Yiyang trampled on the crops on a horse in the suburbs and clashed with the farmers, causing the horses to trample on several people......"

Lin Qingwan got up and asked, "What about Xie Yiyang?" ”

"When I went home, I didn't care about him."

"What about the farmers? He's dead? ”

"It's not dead, it's just that the injuries are not light, and they have been carried back."

Lin Qingwan's face was a little ugly, and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on those farmers immediately, arrange a doctor to treat them, and don't let people harm them." ”

The guard's face changed, "The little one is going to ask a doctor to pretend to be You Fang Langzhong." ”

Yi Han on the side asked, "Grandma, is it the hand of the fourth prince or General Zhong?" ”

Lin Qingwan was silent.

Yi Han's face was a little ugly, "Grandma, if they do it, then you better withdraw as soon as possible, although the upper ones fight for power, and the lower ones are ants, but if they really treat the lives of the people as grass mustard, such an emperor ......"

"I know," Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and said, "I don't know how the four princes are, but I think Zhong Ruying is not such a person." ”

Yi Han pursed his lips, he had always disapproved of his aunt's participation in the matter of seizing the heir, and felt that it was too dangerous.

But seeing that she insisted, he could only support it.

Lin Qingwan turned around twice on the spot and said, "You go in person, whether it is the Xie family or someone else, if anyone wants to attack the villagers, immediately sue Di Shangshu and ask him to arrest Xie Yiyang." ”

Although the effect of catching Xie Yiyang at this time is limited, no one's life is a mustard, even a farmer, and not everyone can take their lives at will.

At this time, only by pushing Xie Yiyang out can they temporarily save their lives.

Lin Qingwan turned around twice, and finally said, "Call someone to set up a carriage and go to Zhong's house." ”

Zhong Ruying was also about to go out, and when she saw her face, the first thing she said was, "I didn't do it, and it's not the fourth prince." ”

Lin Qingwan's face looked better at this time, and she walked past her and went inside, "Someone spread the word last night?" ”

Zhong Ruying frowned and said: "Last night's family banquet is not a secret, and people who are interested can naturally know it clearly." ”

"But this is too fast," Lin Qingwan frowned and said, "Your Majesty only cared about Xie Hong last night, and today Xie Yiyang will have an accident." ”

Zhong Ruying sneered: "Your uncle is not a cautious person, because of the lack of household books in the past two days, he has not jumped up and down. And he is not innocent in this matter, and he has not even done much before, but he is far away from the capital, and he meets a dealer who does not want to cause trouble, even if he suffers a loss, he can only swallow it secretly. This time he was unlucky, and was taken to the outskirts of Beijing by Tete, and those farmers were a little bloody, which led to the conflict. ”

Lin Qingwan turned to face her, "You can find out clearly." ”

"Naturally, even if it's for my sister, I have to find out."

"Then you can find out more clearly and see if there is a human life on his hands."

Zhong Ruying frowned, "Except for Xie Erlang, he doesn't have any other lives on his hands, otherwise ......"

Otherwise, where would he have survived until now?
