Chapter 308: Auditing Turmoil
"yes." Wen Jin said, "Lord Wang, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, you are doing big things, whoever sends a little maid to you, this person is ill-intentioned and harboring evil intentions, because he thinks that the prince's body is too good, his energy is too great, and his house is too peaceful." ”
"You ......" Concubine Dong was so angry that she almost jumped up.
Wen Jin saw that Prince Ren was still sticky and hesitant to arrive, and felt very bored, so she stood up and said goodbye: "Lord, can I go?" ”
Prince Ren sent someone to call the princess, and now, there is no conclusion, just let people go, which is equivalent to admitting that he listens and believes partially, misunderstood, and is wrong, if he does not agree to leave, do you want her to continue here, force herself to interrogate the princess and the side concubine, and return her innocence?
Looking at his daughter-in-law's inquiring gaze, Prince Ren was very helpless, and waved his hand unhappily: "Let's go, let's go." Wen Jin saluted and turned around to leave, but he suddenly said: "Jingyan, hand over the account book and the pair of cards to the princess." ”
Wen Jin's footsteps immediately stopped: "Lord Wang, you'd better send a few account offices to check the account books and treasury at home and then hand them over to me, the second wife has two lives for this, and I almost carried the black cauldron." The responsibility of clearing the accounts is too big and too heavy for the daughter-in-law to bear. ”
"You, don't you think you're the master of the palace?" Prince Ren was furious.
"Lord Wang, am I the master of the palace? You and I am, I am. Wen Jin deliberately looked at Prince Ren with a look of hope.
Prince Ren raised her ears sideways, Concubine Dong's hands subconsciously clenched tightly, Prince Ren's words decided whether the account books of the palace were cleaned up or confused.
Prince Ren couldn't speak, he hoped to have face in front of the new princess, but he didn't want the princess to take the opportunity to trample all the women in the palace under his feet, in the final analysis, he was used to not taking his eldest son seriously, and he didn't want to let his eldest son enjoy the status and glory he should have in front of him.
Wen Jin's heart is cool and cool, such a father-in-law, where is she worthy of filial piety? At the same time, she deeply felt that her husband was not worthy, once, how kind of widow did Qian Jun treat her father? Even now, I still hope that one day the father and son will get back together, drink and talk, and love each other as a family, but what has Prince Ren, the father, done. In terms of filial piety, all parents are parents, but how can such a father not make his son sad?
At this moment, the He family came, He Zhu because of military affairs, can not leave the post without permission, his younger brother He Lin asked for leave, personally came to apologize to Prince Ren: "The prince please atone, this matter is all caused by the mother, the lower official also only knew when he got married, at that time the little girl had not been sick for seven or eight years, and thought she was better, but I didn't expect to be pregnant and weak, and I had an accident during childbirth, please forgive me." ”
Seeing that the He family didn't know, Prince Ren naturally didn't say it thoroughly, so he sighed: "That's it, everyone is gone, what's the use of saying this?" Since you are here in person, and the funeral is just scheduled for these days, let's go back after we finish the matter. ”
He Lin didn't say anything, and let Prince Ren arrange it.
At this moment, someone folded a bullet to impeach He Zhu for embezzling military salaries, He Lin heard about it, and came to ask Prince Ren, maybe it was guilt, or maybe Prince Ren really trusted He Zhu, he interceded in front of Emperor Yongchang and erased the matter.
"Is it really the right time for He Lin to come, or was the impeachment fold suppressed by someone, just waiting for He Lin to enter Beijing?" After Wen Jin heard about it, he felt that the matter was too coincidental, and it couldn't be described by coincidence or writing.
Qian Jun smiled meaningfully: "The western Xinjiang is still peaceful, and the emperor wants to be lazy and is unwilling to spend effort to rectify." ”
"This He Zhu is also the emperor's confidant, right?"
"yes. When I was in Western Xinjiang, I didn't hear of him when he was fighting and making meritorious contributions, but the emperor's side never broke his shadow. ”
"Hehe, according to what you say, it's a sycophant."
"This man is also capable, bold, bright-eyed, and able to be ruthless to himself."
Wen Jin pouted: "You mean he dared to hug the emperor's thigh at that time?" That's all he can do? Will you bet on the bright eye? Hmph, at that time, a petty official like a sesame grain couldn't get into the eyes of Taishi Liu anyway. ”
"Hahaha, if He Zhu heard your words, he wouldn't be so angry that he vomited blood, I still think he is clever and eye-catching, let you say this, he is a sycophant."
"Isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, I'm biased."
Wen Jin is not casually talking about people behind her back, she just tells her husband what she thinks of a person, and sometimes the bystanders are clear, maybe it will be helpful to Qian Jun. But this also has a disadvantage, that is, the pillow wind, which will also blow the man off, but fortunately, Qian Jun is an assertive person, and Wen Jin can speak freely.
Prince Ren finally sent the He family away, and when he turned around, he heard something that shocked him very much. On that day, he forcibly sent someone to give the card box and the account book to the princess, but the daughter-in-law handed over the account book to her son, and his son, who always did things unexpectedly, was not surprised this time, and invited a few bookkeepers from outside to check the accounts.
Like a cat with its tail stepped on, Prince Ren immediately asked the princess to call over, and reprimanded him with a slap in his face: "Do you know that family ugliness should not be publicized? What's the deal with calling outsiders to check the accounts? Still don't think there is a lot of trouble in the house? Still think about the things in the house, and the people outside don't know what's going on? ”
Wen Jin didn't say a word, and waited calmly, and when Prince Ren finally had nothing to say, he said leisurely: "The prince is angry, the princess and the side concubine are both good housekeepers, and if they make a mistake occasionally, they won't just gossip outside, right?" Besides, the people who the prince helped to invite are all people with excellent reputations and tight mouths, and they will not gossip outside. ”
Where is Prince Ren willing to believe that his princess and side concubines are innocent? Hearing that his daughter-in-law was gagging herself with his words, she gasped twice before she came up with a statement: "Even if these people have tight mouths, you will take care of the accounts yourself, why do you need outsiders to interfere?" "Lord Wang, I am a woman's family, my heart is small, and I am inevitably a little too careful when looking at the accounts, isn't this suspected of deliberately finding faults?" Or please ask the people outside, they are all in the household to help, have seen the world, should be loose and tight, the scale is appropriate, this account is right, what should be is what, save the daughter-in-law to see the account, right or wrong is not convincing. Prince Ren was speechless, glaring angrily, Wen Jin was not afraid, she looked at Prince Ren so quietly, and said in an unhurried and slow tone: "If the prince thinks that what his daughter-in-law has done is inappropriate, then I will send you the account books back, and the prince can also arrange someone to check the accounts, and the government doesn't care about this commission." ”
