Chapter 168 Enter the palace to find someone
Princess Duan?
Duanwang Shizi?
Chu Fan?
Qin Wan was not surprised.
The mother and Princess Duan were handkerchiefs, and the relationship between the two was good before they left the cabinet, although they had not moved for a few years, but it did not affect the friendship between the mother and Princess Duan. In addition, several of them learned from the emperor and are also familiar with Duan Wangye.
Bai Zhishui saw that Qin Wan didn't speak, and continued to explain: "My mother is asking for your meaning, if you don't want to, my mother won't force it." ”
"I do." Qin Wan's sudden words interrupted Bai Zhishui, and the reasons she had thought of before were useless, and Bai Zhishui was stunned for a moment.
Qin Wan said with a smile: "Jiaojiao knows her mother's good intentions, her aunt has always loved Jiaojiao, and when Jiaojiao enters the door in the future, her aunt will also treat Jiaojiao as a daughter. Brother Fan's title in the future is not low, Jiaojiao doesn't have to worry about being bullied when she goes out in the future, so Brother Fan is Jiaojiao's best choice. ”
Qin Wan has always maintained a decent smile on her face, this incident has little impact on her, and it is really as her mother said, Princess Duan's family knows the roots, and treats her as their own, they really treat her as a daughter, and marrying Chu Fan is her best choice.
Bai Zhishui carefully checked Qin Wan's face and made sure that she didn't mean to say the opposite, so she nodded reassuringly, stroked Qin Wan's little face, and said reluctantly: "If you can think like this, my mother will rest assured, Brother Fan grew up under the watchful eyes of his mother, and just saying that he is definitely holding you in the palm of his hand." His ability and means, my mother can rest assured, in the court, Duanwang is a loyal minister relied on by the old emperor, so in the future, no matter how the situation in the court changes, Duanwang's Mansion will not be greatly shocked. ”
"What about the eldest uncle?" Qin Wan changed the topic, but she picked it up very smoothly.
Therefore, Bai Zhishui didn't feel that this topic was very abrupt, and said: "Your grandfather just sent someone to say, it has been two days since the war, during which there have been five confrontations, all of which were tentative confrontations, the casualties are not large, and no elite troops have been sent, your eldest brother and Jing Xing each brought a team of men and horses, and the record is not bad." ”
Qin Wan nodded reassuringly, the eldest brother in her previous life did not go to the battlefield so early, she clearly remembered the day when Qin Mingyue came to tell her about her eldest brother's death, there were at least four years left, but in this life, the eldest brother went to the battlefield in advance, so she couldn't let it go, in case it ......
No, no just in case!
Qin Wan got rid of the frightening thoughts in her head, took a few deep breaths, and calmed her emotions and lived a new life, she knew a lot of unknown things, and she would definitely be able to keep her family safe!
Bai Zhishui saw that Qin Wan didn't seem to reject this family business, and breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "This matter, my mother and your aunt are still discussing, your aunt's meaning, this is a big deal, if you want, they will treat it carefully, this is a happy event, you also know your aunt's temperament, so ......"
Speaking of the back, Bai Zhishui herself was shaking her head.
According to Princess Duan's temperament of fearing that the world will not be chaotic, I am afraid that the two families are still writing documents, and when they exchange Geng posts, she will make a big fuss.
However, Bai Zhishui felt that there was nothing wrong with this, after all, it was her daughter who was married, and she also hoped that she would be beautiful from the beginning.
Qin Wan really didn't pay attention to this matter, returned to the courtyard, looked at the silver ticket sent by Xiao Jingxing, and was slightly in a daze.
When Xiao Jingxing wrote before, she said that she wanted Qin Wan to help him open a few shops in Shengjing, she knew that Xiao Jingxing still had big things to do, no matter what he did, in addition to people, it was silver, so she probably understood the reason why Xiao Jingxing opened a shop.
It is not easy to deal with the king of Zhenshan, in terms of silver and power, who in the whole world can be more than the old emperor, greater than the old emperor?
But the two have been fighting for so long, and they have been in a stalemate, winning and losing half.
However, Qin Wan understands that the old emperor does not dare to make a black hand against the king of Zhenshan, first, he has to take into account the overall situation, and secondly, he has to take into account his own image and reputation, so many things can only be done in secret, so he will be subject to a lot of restrictions, and he has to be careful not to be found by others. Therefore, over the years, the old emperor and the king of Zhenshan have only been fighting wits and bravery, and no one has taken advantage.
Qin Wan knew that Xiao Jingxing needed to spend a lot of silver to succeed, in addition to silver, it was manpower and news.
In terms of manpower, Qin Wan is not worried about Xiao Jingxing's ability, in terms of sources, since Xiao Jingxing has the heart to fight, he will definitely not make a move if he is not completely sure, not to mention, there are still people behind Xiao Jingxing.
However, Qin Wan thinks that it is difficult to break the King of Zhenshan, and she will have to rely on Xiao Jingxing in the future, so she spares no effort to help him now. In Qin Wan's cognition, the only one who can make money and find out the news without people knowing it is Qinglou.
Qin Wan is not a pretentious official lady, what winds and waves have she never seen in her previous life? Although he was a little stupid in dealing with his relationship with Zhang Ruishun, he still had the means and scheming he should have.
To open a green building, it is a very simple thing for her, but it is difficult to be known by others, so this is also the reason why Qin Wan has this idea in her heart, but she has not taken action.
Leaning back in her chair, Qin Wan squinted at the sunset outside the window.
In the evening, the sunlight outside the window is not dazzling, and it casts a patch of gold in the yard, and the shadow is full of shadows, which is very beautiful.
Qin Wan curled her fingers and knocked on the armrest of the chair for a long time, and then she sighed heavily, perhaps, she should go to him.
Entering the palace is a very simple matter for Qin Wan, she doesn't even need to bring the waist card specially given to her by the old emperor, and she can walk around the palace freely.
After six years, when I entered the palace again, the most excited person was not Qin Wan, but the old emperor.
Originally, when Qin Wan first returned to Shengjing, the old emperor was going to summon her into the palace, but the situation was unstable at that time, and the time when Qin Wan came back was very sensitive, so the old emperor endured an irritable heart and never let Qin Wan enter the palace.
Later, because of the war at the border pass, the old emperor slowed down the matter again, but he didn't expect it to drag on until now, Qin Wan took the initiative to enter the palace today, and the old emperor was more excited than anyone else.
"Jiaojiao is here, come, come to the emperor's uncle."
As soon as Qin Wan entered the door, the old emperor happily waved at her, and after Qin Wan walked over, he habitually got up and gave up the dragon chair to Qin Wan.
It's just that Qin Wan no longer sits down like when he was a child, only stands on one side, and looks at the old emperor with a smile, "Uncle Emperor, Jiaojiao has grown up now, and she doesn't dare to sit in this position." ”
The old emperor's face sank, "Why does the emperor's uncle think that you won't be cute at all when you grow up?" How good was it when I was a child, I could say whatever I wanted, and I could do what I wanted. Why, when you grow up, you are bound by these red tapes? ”
"Uncle Emperor also said that it was when I was a child, and now Jiaojiao has grown up, but she knows the rules very well." The coquettish tone, with the squeamishness and willfulness unique to a little girl, also indirectly explains the reason why she does not sit on the dragon chair.
"Good, good, good, Jiaojiao has grown up." The old emperor shook his head helplessly.
Gonggong Wen took the opportunity to ask the palace maid to send snacks, which were all pastries that Qin Wan used to love, and Qin Wan also pinched a piece of it and handed it to the old emperor's mouth.
The old emperor squinted his eyes with satisfaction, took it and took a heavy bite, still Jiaojiao was intimate, in Jiaojiao, he could find the warmth of being a father.
Qin Wan spent a cup of tea in the imperial study, the two said a few words intermittently, the atmosphere was very good, and the old emperor's gloomy face finally had a smile.
Coming out of the imperial study, Qin Wan was not in a hurry to leave the palace, she had the right to walk around the palace, but compared to the aimless scurrying around before, obviously, this time she had a very clear purpose.
"County Lord Anping, that's where the Gong bucket is stored." The little eunuch reminded in a whisper.
"I know." Hearing this, Qin Wan did not slow down, but walked straight forward.
The little eunuch was slightly anxious, but he also knew that everything the master said was right, and everything the master wanted to do had to follow.
The gong buckets in each hall are collected by special people at a unified time, and then placed here, cleaned, and sent over the next day. The inverted night incense is made by lowly people, so whether it is outside the palace or in the palace, those who do this job are little eunuchs who have no background and can be bullied casually.
This place is more remote than the cold palace, the smell is particularly strong, in order to prevent the nobles from colliding with the nobles, this place has to be smoked four or five times a day, and the disgusting smell still constantly stimulates Qin Wan's sense of smell. Holding back the feeling of wanting to vomit, Qin Wan's sharp gaze shuttled back and forth on the little eunuch's body.
The people who followed her didn't dare to speak, especially the little eunuch who had been following Qin Wan, with his knowledge of Qin Wan, he was worried that a certain eunuch who offended Qin Wan was going to be unlucky.
"Boom."
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Qin Wan subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and before he could see the figure clearly, he heard a crisp slap, and a thin figure was prostrate on the ground.
"How do you work, are you not fed, or you don't wake up? We warn you, don't pretend to be sick here, there is a shortage of everything in the palace, that is, there is no shortage of eunuchs, if you can't do it, there are a lot of people waiting to do it! He kicked the man on the ground a few times in disgust, and the man who called himself "our family" raised his heel, stepped on the fingers of the little eunuch, and crushed him twice.
The man on the ground snorted, but he didn't withdraw his hand, nor did he defend himself, until the man himself felt bored, and then raised his foot, "What are you doing with your hands here, did you deliberately make me awkward?" ”
The eunuchs around them all bowed their heads and did their own thing, and no one wanted to help. And the man who was prostrate on the ground gradually straightened his waist, although he didn't say a word, he also had a stubborn taste.
The old eunuch's eyes dodged, and he was inexplicably frightened in his heart, and then he was even more ashamed.
