Chapter 197: Goddaughter
When Xie Yingmai was taken down, You Shi tiredly 'rubbed' his forehead before he exhaled and said, "Come out." β
Zhuo Zhaojie already had a stomach full of things to say and want to ask, but before You decided to only let her listen to it behind the screen, she was not allowed to make any noise behind the screen, let alone run out halfway to 'interject' in the middle of the matter, otherwise she would definitely move the family law.
So she stayed up until this moment, and before she turned the screen, she couldn't wait to ask: "Mother!" Kurou he ......"
"Jiulang came here a while ago, he's fine! is also in Chang'an, no matter what Jiu Lang says, he is also a character, what's wrong with him, are we afraid that our family won't hear the news? Although the You family was also secretly frightened by the turbulent undercurrent between the two rooms of the Ning family, he was unhappy when he saw the 'girl' in this hurry, and reprimanded, "You sit down for me and then speak!" β
Zhuo Zhaojie was busy with his face, sat down beside her, and obediently took the tea handed by the maid and served it himself, and waited for You to take a few sips and put it down, before asking: "Mother, the Qiguo Mansion is so presumptuous now, it can be seen how arrogant they are!" Kurou ......"
Her words were interrupted again, and You Shi snorted coldly and said, "What Xie Shi says, you will believe it?" β
Zhuo Zhaojie choked, thought for a while and said, "Is my mother saying that it is not credible?" β
You felt that he should not let go of this opportunity to teach the 'girl', so he said noncommittally: "Do you think she is credible?" β
"Why can't you trust it?" Zhuo Zhaojie looked at her face, and whispered while speculating, "Didn't Mother Fang explain everything she asked?" β
You sneered: "So you are naΓ―ve! She explained it reasonably, and you believed it? Why don't you think about it, what she said, although she kept saying that we could go and investigate, but now we have checked? Can some of them be found at once? Now that she's putting on a clear conscience, do you believe it? β
She stretched out her finger and pressed her eyebrows, and said hatefully, "You young and ignorant little ladies! It's so coaxing! As long as you put on an innocent face and speak a little better, you have to believe it! If you swear by the sky again, I guess you don't even doubt it! Now I'll teach you one, unless it's a person who trusts you very much, no matter how much you say, before you find out the matter, you can only be suspicious at most, and you can't let down your vigilance because of this, understand? β
Zhuo Zhaojie said whimsily: "Yes." And he said, "So now you are also skeptical?" β
You Shi didn't answer and asked: "Why do you believe her?" β
"I thought that Wu Shi had refused a reward for a thousand gold back then, and she had no problem holding that money." Zhuo Zhaojie said curtly, "At that time, I felt that it was really rare for such a person to be in poverty but be able to keep his heart from being moved by external things, and I later learned that she was Xie ...... After Xie Niangzi's cousin, I also had an excellent impression of Xie Niangzi. β
You Shi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "What else?" β
"I just listened to Xie Niangzi talk about Qu Tan and Qu Chief, although this matter is secret, but it makes people ask Jiangnan...... Or ask Jiulang 'privately' to know that Xie Niangzi's intelligence will not lie in such an obvious place, after all, she is now in our hands, and we have no evidence to suspect her now, but if she lies here, then don't think about clearing herself. Then it can be considered that neither Qu Tan nor Wu should be a person who is willing to be moved by money. Zhuo Zhaojie saw that his mother had made up her mind to take the school exam before continuing to talk about business, so she had to continue, "It stands to reason that such a person should not be bought by the Qiguo Mansion, and since Qu Tan is unwilling to get involved in the dispute between the King of Yanchang and the King of Zhending, I don't think he will be willing to be involved in the battle between the Qiguo Mansion and the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion."
"Qu Tan approached Uncle Ruan before, if he avoided the inn simply because he didn't want to get involved in the battle between the two county kings, then it is not difficult to understand how to approach Uncle Ruan, because Uncle Ruan is a faction in the middle of the court, Qu Tan uses this method to express his attitude? Or is it with the help of Uncle Ruan's uncle not to be involved? β
Zhuo Zhaojie guessed once, and said, "I was very suspicious yesterday, and I also guessed that because of Sister Bai, I saw Mrs. Wu, whether it was also in the calculations of others, because Sister Bai was very heavy before leaving the pavilion, I had already promised to accompany her, but then I thought about it and felt that such a possibility was not very big, because of Mrs. Lu's request, I may not actually agree, I don't go out much in Moling, outsiders don't know my 'temperament', how can I guess that I will definitely go?" What's more, if this is the case, then the Bai family is not clear - if the Qiguo Mansion infiltrates the Jiangnan like this, then where can Jiulang get good when he arrives in Moling? β
You said: "Well, it's kind of interesting to think of your Uncle Ruan, you continue." β
Seeing that she was noncommittal, Zhuo Zhaojie paused before continuing: "Even if the Qiguo Mansion has any calculations in Jiangnan, it is not very strong, and it is impossible to include the Bai Mansion, otherwise Jiulang has been to the Bai Mansion, a Bai family, how worthy it is compared to the position of the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng, plus the Jiuzhu case has only passed at that time, if something happens to Jiulang, it is easy to push it on the head of the bandits, even if the eldest princess is angry and pushes the Bai family out, where will the Qiguo Mansion feel distressed?" β
"So if the Bai family is innocent, then it was also an accident that I saw the Wu family pushing away the daughter before." Zhuo Zhaojie said, "Furthermore, the eldest princess of Jiyang favors the Marquis of Yongcheng and Jiulang, if they want to take refuge, it is better to take refuge in the Marquis of Yongcheng, especially the palace test after the next year's examination, because many powerful children in Chang'an who have real talents and real learning will end up, and if the saints in the palace examination want to take care of the face of the important ministers, many scholars from cloth clothes are likely to be suppressed in the palace examination ranking - at this time, it is extremely important to have the eldest princess to help speak."
"Qi Guogong is far less than the eldest princess of Yongcheng Houde, the eldest princess is even more obedient to Jiulang, everything is close to Jiulang, so if Qu Tan wants to seek a future through the son of the eldest princess, no matter what he does in the future, now choosing Jiulang is the smartest way, Jiulang asks for a word in front of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess will also help Qu Tan to speak when she reads Jiulang's face, but it is Qi Guogong - Qi Guogong is extremely rich for Qu Tan, but if you want to say it during the palace test, where can you compare to the eldest princess? And the eldest princess may not be willing to do anything to pray for the country. β
Zhuo Zhaojie blinked his eyes and said, "So I think, most of what Xie Niangzi said is true, what does my mother think?" β
You Shi smiled slightly and said, "These speculations are also reasonable, but have you thought about it?" What you speculate is a normal situation, but Qu Tan's life experience, he has a grudge against the Qu family, or the manager of Qu, otherwise, why would he rather have a bumpy life than accept the kindness of the manager of Qu in such a big thing? He was taken back by Mr. Qu when he was ten years old, and it has been more than ten years now, and he still has an old hatred, have you ever thought about what this means? β
Seeing that the 'girl' had a collapsed face, You knew that she had thought of it, and she no longer sold Guan Zi, and said, "It is very likely that Qu Tan will deliberately get involved in the battle between the Ning family's big house and the second room in order to take revenge on Mr. Qu. β
"That doesn't mean he will choose the Prayer Mansion!" Zhuo Zhaojie was unconvinced.
You said: "Well, I knew you were going to refute it like thisβI knew you were going to be so reckless!" If Jiulang hadn't been to Moling, you could still argue for some reason, Jiulang had lived in Qujiazhuang for several months, do you still think so? β
Zhuo Zhaojie was caught by his mother again, and said weakly: "I know, if the manager of Qu is not loyal to the eldest princess of Jiyang and favors the side of the Marquis of Yongcheng, Jiulang will not live in Qujiazhuang?" β
"That's it." You Shi glanced at her meaningfully, "Never despise the eldest princess!" Do you think that the various 'confrontations' between the Ning family's big house and the second room and the eldest princess will not be clear? It's just that it is difficult for the Qing officials to decide family affairs, and the eldest princess herself is partial to Jiulang's father and son, and she is unwilling to change! But how could the eldest princess call her beloved grandson to take risks? Since he dared to let Jiulang go down to Jiangnan and live in Qujiazhuang, he was obviously sure that the manpower on the village would not threaten Jiulang! β
Zhuo Zhaojie sighed and said, "According to what my mother said, I can really only believe half of it." She rolled her eyes and said, "But if that's the case, why didn't he help Chen Luojia assassinate Jiulang two years ago?" Qu is in charge of Qujiazhuang, although this manager may be loyal to the eldest princess or Jiulang, but he, a nephew and the only heir of the Qu family now, is expected to take someone quietly into Qujiazhuang with his momentum, and if Qu Tan is standing on the side of the Qiguo Mansion, Xie Niangzi will probably be pulled over? Xie Niangzi found out how sharp the sleeve sword was, and her mother also saw it, with such a divine weapon, if there is another help from the same 'door', where can you use any wine beads or wine beads, and directly kill Qu Jiazhuang to assassinate ...... Wouldn't it be better? β
You Shi said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I can think of so much, in the end, he is a smart child, but he used to be lazy and didn't work!" So I say that Hsieh's words are still half likely to be credible. β
"Mother!" Zhuo Zhaojie had already been 'made' anxious by You's successive betrayals, so he hugged her and coquettishly, "Let's not talk about these things first, it's not too late for my mother to praise me again, let's talk about the things that Qiguo Mansion and Chen Luojia are getting into trouble!" β
"We can't help with this." When You Shi heard this, his face quickly sank, sighed, and said.
Zhuo Zhaojie was taken aback and said, "Mother is talking about Jiulang......"
"Don't worry, his safety shouldn't matter." You's 'touched' 'touched' the 'girl''s change, although he said comforting words, but it was not easy to see her 'look', "What he is embarrassed about now should be a matter of the side!" β
You Shi muttered, "It's better not to have anything to do with that big thing...... But how is this possible? I'm afraid that's what happened at all! Kurou ...... Ning Jiu...... This kid...... In the past, was it true that Chang'an underestimated him? No, how old is he? This idea should not have occurred to him. β
Zhuo Zhaojie heard her muttering like this, he was really anxious, and turned away around You's: "Mother, mother! Tell me, tell me! What the hell is going on?! β
"Chen Luojia and the prince of Qiguo openly 'appeared' together, I am afraid it was deliberate, and it is even very possible, what kind of wind blew the veil, but it was deliberately 'exposed' to the Xie family." You Shi settled down and said in a deep voice!
Zhuo Zhaojie was taken aback, and he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, and said, "Why? β
"Naturally, it's to tell Jiulang." You sneered and said, "No, what I really want to tell is not Jiulang, but the Marquis of Yongcheng behind Jiulang, and it can even be said that it is not the Marquis of Yongcheng!" β
Seeing that the 'girl' looked dazed, You sighed in his heart, and regretted that he had sent the 'girl' so far back then, and the scheming methods could be taught, but the consciousness of political affairs did not have long-term edification or talent, but it was difficult to develop the habit of speculating on things like this in a year or two.
Zhuo Zhaojie is like this now, she is not without heart, but she is used to the boudoir and backyard, and her vision is limited, so she can't think of the government in advance like most of the noble 'daughters' of the prince's house, and even she can't think of the government at all.
But this is not Zhuo Zhaojie's mistake, not born and raised in Chang'an, the imperial capital, not to mention the little lady in other places, is the master of the family, unless it is an official, it is difficult to be so keen, Chang'an native of the high 'door' noble 'daughter', or these high' Some servants in the big family can do it in advance, because they are in the imperial capital, and they have felt the relationship between ordinary clues and court affairs, as well as the direct impact on Chang'an after the government government, and the habit of cultivating over the years.
You Shi's mind turned, and he said secretly: "Now I think that those are useless, just teach slowly!" β
