Chapter 218 Retirement
Ji's idea is very clear, Bai Zhishui's loss of virginity before marriage is a fact, that is, it is a trouble, and it is not them who are embarrassed, on the contrary, the world will sympathize with them, it is Bai Zhishui who deceived the Qin Mansion first, and Bai Zhishui did not abide by women's morals first. If someone wants to find out who that man is, it's something they can't control, and if someone finds out that the concubine is a saint, it will be interesting.
"Put away your little thoughts, don't you think we're in trouble enough?" Qin Dongshan warned, "Do you think that the Holy Lord will not be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, do you think that our little trick will not be seen by the Holy Master?" The reason why the Holy Lord didn't do anything to us is just because Qin Wan, if we are angry at Bai Zhishui and Shengyan, do you think that our Qin Mansion has a few lives for the Holy Lord to dissipate his anger? ”
Ji buried his head.
Qin Dongshan said again: "If I know what you have done, don't blame me for not showing mercy!" ”
Ji Shi felt very uncomfortable, it was obviously Bai Zhishui's fault, but he blamed her, Bai Zhishui dared to do it, and he was afraid that others would not be able to say it?
After talking about Qin Wan, Ji frowned, and asked Qin Dongshan about the minister's Shangshu treat, Qin Dongshan's reply was the same as that of Mrs. Qin, and Ji was relieved. When the time comes, she will follow Qin Dongshan, anyway, whether she can enter the door or not, it is not up to her.
Qin Dongshan took two sips of tea and suddenly asked, "Mingxuan's side, it's nothing these days, right?" ”
Ji Shi was stunned, his eyes rolled twice, and he sneered: "Back to the master, Mingxuan has been in his yard these days, and the concubine listened to the little guy next to him say that he was in the study during the day, either reading or painting, and occasionally went out to get together with his former classmates. ”
Qin Dongshan nodded reassuringly, "Ming Xuan's heart has always been very high, and now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid that he will drill the horns." But if there is, even I, a father, are not easy to speak, for fear that talking too much will make him more rebellious, but fortunately, although this child has a high heart, he is also a sensible person, so many things have happened, and this child has survived. Experiencing such a thing is also good for Ming Xuan, and it can hone his heart. He is already taller than the average person, which is a good thing, but I am also worried that such a heart will collapse in the face of blows, but fortunately, Mingxuan did not disappoint me. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Dongshan looked relieved.
He knows his son the best, young people are so high-minded, and when facing setbacks, they will inevitably get into the horns of the bull, and even collapse, but fortunately, Qin Mingxuan can figure it out by himself.
This is his son.
can bend and stretch, only in this way can you make a difference in the court.
In the court, there is no eternal alliance, and there is no permanent political enemy, the only thing that can be relied on is interests, and today's alliance may be tomorrow's political enemy. Qin Mingxuan has to adapt to this change, and he must learn to take advantage of these changes, so that he can deal with all kinds of emergencies with ease.
In the past few days, he has been busy dealing with Bai Zhishui and Qin Wan's affairs, and he didn't ask Qin Mingxuan, hoping that he could survive by himself, after all, even if he is a father, talking too much about some things will make Qin Mingxuan rebellious, so when he heard Ji's words, the stone in his heart was also put down.
The next day, Qin Dongshan made an appointment with a few former colleagues, originally before going out, he also wanted to see him in Qin Mingxuan's yard, but Ji said that Qin Mingxuan read until midnight yesterday, and now he hasn't gotten up yet, Qin Dongshan gave up, thinking that Qin Mingxuan had nothing to do during this time, so he let him rest for a few days, and then handed over a few shops that he helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take care of.
Seeing Qin Dongshan out of the Qin Mansion, Ji Shi walked back and asked the mother-in-law beside him, "The young master hasn't come back yet?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, the young master hasn't been back to the house for four or five days." The mother-in-law replied.
Ji frowned worriedly, "Has the little guy next to the young master come back?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, the little guy next to the young master will come back every evening to report the situation of the young master, yesterday the master was in the yard, the little guy didn't dare to come in, and told the young master the situation to the old slave, nothing special, the young master has been gambling in the gambling house, and he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, he has won and lost in the past few days, and he hasn't seen the young master have no silver, so the old slave thinks, the young master's wins and losses are not big."
"I'm not worried about this," Ji sighed, "Mingxuan is a very measured person, even if he loses, he will come back after losing, I'm just worried that he will gamble outside, don't eat or drink, what should I do if he breaks his body?" ”
"Madame, don't worry, the old slave instructed the people around the young master to take care of the young master, and if there is anything, come back immediately to report it."
Ji nodded wistfully, "I hope so, Mingxuan is depressed, I, a mother, can't help, I'm more anxious than anyone else." ”
"Madame don't have to worry, the young master just can't think about it for a while, the young master has figured it out and walked out, the young master is a capable person, as long as he passes this hurdle, the young master will definitely be able to become a great tool in the future, the young master's knowledge, but he is the best among his peers, and he will come back with a reputation in the future." Madam, just relax and wait for the young master to earn a life for you to come back in the future. ”
Ji's face softened, "Mingxuan, I'm relieved, this kid has been fighting since he was a child, and this incident hit him hard, so I let him come outside." I know this is only temporary, and he is a measured person, so I don't worry, it's just that I don't let the master know about it. ”
"Madame, don't worry, the old slaves can be saved." The mother-in-law hurriedly replied.
After instructing the people around him, Ji was slightly relieved.
She helped Qin Mingxuan hide from Qin Dongshan about this, after all, it was not a long-term plan, if Qin Dongshan knew what Qin Mingxuan did, he would definitely be furious. But his son also needs to relax, gambling money is better than causing trouble outside, not to mention, Qin Mingxuan is just relieving, and he didn't kill people and set fires, what's not to do?
Ji only felt that Qin Mingxuan was wronged, so he let his behavior go, and even secretly took the silver to the little guy around Qin Mingxuan, if Qin Mingxuan didn't have enough silver, he wouldn't be able to get out of the door of the gambling house.
"You call someone to tell Mingxuan, you must come back tonight no matter what, Ming'er is going to Shangshu Mansion, that is his future father-in-law." Ji instructed.
The mother-in-law was busy responding.
After a pause, Ji Shi said again: "You go to the firewood room to get the medicine woman out, freshen her up, and send her to the prince's mansion." ”
I don't know if Qin Mingyue is pregnant, no matter what, it's a good thing that there are many people around me who understand pharmacology.
The next day, after Qin Dongshan and his party sorted out, they set off to the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion, today is the 60th birthday of the father of the Ministry of Shangshu, as a filial son, Lord Lu specially held this birthday banquet, invited familiar friends and colleagues, but also in the spirit of lively and lively meaning.
The old lady is old, and he likes to be lively the most, because of Lord Lu's sensitive position, he rarely entertains guests in the mansion, and this time he is also thinking about the old man's birthday, so he invited his colleagues in the court. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the task of transferring, promoting or demoting officials, and is the object of fawning favor with everyone. This was originally a job to offend people, but Lord Lu was very tactful and had his own way of dealing with people, so no matter whether those officials were promoted or demoted, they respected Lord Lu very much, so everyone who could come this time came.
When they saw Qin Dongshan, everyone was stunned at first, almost everyone knew about Qin Mingxuan and Lu Yan's relationship, but they didn't expect the people in Qin Mansion to be so calm and dare to come!
Since Master Lu didn't say anything, everyone naturally didn't comment on it, but only whispered a few words in private. The official who seemed to have a good relationship with Qin Dongshan before seemed to be trying to avoid suspicion and did not take the initiative to greet him. Qin Dongshan sneered in his heart, people go to tea and cool, they are talking about him, but he doesn't care, these people will be his stepping stones sooner or later, and when he returns to the prince's camp in the future, these people are all for him to deal with.
At the end of the banquet, Mrs. Lu invited Ji into the backyard.
Ji's heart "chuckled", and before Mrs. Lu could speak, she knew what she was going to say, and she was a little angry in her heart. So when Mrs. Lu said that she was going to withdraw from her family, Ji's tone was not friendly, if she hadn't thought that it would be like this before she came, Qin Dongshan warned her, she would not swallow her anger. took a deep breath and reluctantly said: "Mrs. Lu, I am also a mother, I understand your thoughts, everyone hopes that their daughter can have a good home." The current Qin Mansion really can't promise anything to Madame, and Madame has made such a move, and I understand it. ”
Mrs. Lu said embarrassedly: "This matter is that our Lu Mansion is sorry for you, what the master means is that we should make compensation." Mrs. Qin, don't get me wrong, we don't want to buy anything with silver, let alone smash Qinfu with silver, it's our Lu Mansion I'm sorry for Qinfu first, and it should be like this. Mrs. Qin is also a sensible person, understanding my hard work as a mother, as a parent, always hopes that the children can have a good home, and the life can go on safely. ”
Ji smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Lu glanced at the mother-in-law beside her, who hurriedly took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Ji.
Ji glanced at it with his eyes down, took it, and thought of Qin Dongshan's instructions before, so he said: "The matter of retiring from relatives is not a glorious thing after all, Sister Yan is a girl's family, so this matter will be mentioned by Shangshufu." ”
Mrs. Lu looked grateful, thinking that the Ji family was also a good person, these silver tickets were naturally not only compensation for the return of relatives, but also to maintain Lu Yan's reputation, if the Qin Mansion proposed to withdraw relatives, outsiders would think that Lu Yan had something, so it was best for them to raise this matter to minimize the impact on Lu Yan, with Ji's words, Mrs. Lu was also relieved.
The two sides made an appointment to retire the post, and Ji followed Qin Dongshan out of Shangshu Mansion.
