Qin Wan patted Mama Xia on the shoulder and motioned for her to put herself down.

"Bai Clan, I am in charge of this matter, and I will let the Ji Clan go back to the 'Lotus Courtyard' later." The old lady Qin said.

Bai Zhishui chuckled, "Since it is the mother-in-law's will, the daughter-in-law will naturally obey the order, but the Ji family made a mistake first, although she is pregnant, she can't break the rules." ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Dongshan looked at Bai Zhishui vigilantly.

Because of the old emperor's warning, he didn't dare to go too far now, but habitually, he would still protect the Ji family.

"The master is too careful," Bai Zhishui looked at everyone with a smile, "It's not that she has been a concubine all these years, and the backyard has been negligent in management, so there are so many things, so some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have, and they have caused trouble for the lord and the prime minister." Now that the concubine has woken up, she naturally wants to help the master solve the troubles in the backyard, so as not to deepen the misunderstanding of the lord and affect the master's career. ”

Qin Dongshan's face tightened.

Bai Zhishui continued: "From now on, the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be established, if it is convenient for the master, please hand over the deed of sale of the Ji family and the other concubines to the concubine." As for the Ji family, now he is a double body, pregnant with the heir of the master, and a hero of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he naturally has to give birth to a good life, and he doesn't have to come to the morning and dusk province in the future, nothing to do, just stay in the 'Lotus Courtyard', the monthly case has doubled, and what he wants to eat, he will call it a small kitchen. ”

seems to be thinking about Ji's everywhere, but in fact, not only did he take the deed of sale of Ji and others, but also put her under house arrest, and Ji couldn't leave the "Lotus Courtyard" until she gave birth.

"Thank you, Mother." Qin Mingxuan and Qin Mingyue kowtowed to thank him.

In any case, on the bright side, Bai Zhishui couldn't do anything to Ji.

It's just that the joy in the hearts of the two has not yet rippled, and Bai Zhishui said again: "Having said that, it is a fact that the Ji family is disrespectful to the concubine, so if the master has no opinion, the identity of the Ji family's noble concubine will have to be reduced to a cheap concubine." ”

"You dare!" Qin Dongshan yelled.

Bai Zhishui looked at him with a smile.

Qin Dongshan's gaze dodged twice, and he said uncomfortably, "The Ji family has sincerely repented, stayed in the ancestral hall for half a month, and promised to sincerely worship the Buddha in the future, what else do you want?" Ji is now a double. ”

"It is precisely because she is now a double body that the concubine body is open, otherwise, she will be sent out directly. The lord is now questioning the decision of the concubine? Bai Zhishui smiled mockingly, "Otherwise, Concubine Ming'er asked the mistresses in the other ministers' mansions how to deal with this kind of slut?" ”

"It's the same with asking the queen." Qin Wan added nonchalantly.

"Yes, very good!" Qin Dongshan was annoyed and angry.

"But the lord thinks the concubine's hair is light? Why don't you wait for Ji to give birth to a child? Bai Zhishui asked again angrily.

Throwing up his sleeves, Qin Dongshan looked at her viciously, "You'd better know what to do and what not to do. ”

"That's what the lord said." Bai Zhi's water was warm, and he didn't seem to understand the meaning of Qin Dongshan's words.

Full of anger as if hitting cotton, Qin Dongshan was very aggrieved, and wanted to say something more, but the house doctor came out.

"How's the Ji family?" Old Madam Qin was the first to ask.

"Mrs. Hui, Aunt Ji's situation is not very good, the ancestral hall is heavy and yin, which is not suitable for raising a fetus, and Aunt Ji is too worried, so the fetal appearance is not very good......"

"You prescribe medicine first, and I'll take care of the rest." Bai Zhishui began to exercise her rights.

According to what was said before, Ji was released and placed under house arrest in the "Lotus Courtyard", and Bai Zhishui did not interfere in her living and diet, and only let the people in the "Lotus Courtyard" buy and do it by themselves. And Bai Zhishui also took the deed of sale of sixteen concubines from Qin Dongshan, and the Ji family changed from a noble concubine to a cheap concubine.

The first battle was a big victory, and Qin Wan was in a good mood.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, all the people in Xiangfu gathered at the "Songhe Hall", and the Ji family also came out of the "Lotus Garden" with a belly that was not obvious, had dinner together, and set off fireworks.

Mrs. Qin was rare and generous, and sealed a red envelope for each child, not much, only one or two silver, for this reason, Qin Ruizhuo was quite unimpressed.

Looking at the meaning in his eyes, Qin Wan asked funny, "What, disappointed?" ”

"A little," Qin Rui blushed his lips, "a tael of silver, but also a loss to my grandmother, I originally thought that my grandmother made a move, to say the least, there were a hundred taels of silver." ”

"Brother, you haven't woken up yet."

"Heh, dare you say I'm daydreaming?" Qin Ruizhuo squinted at Qin Wan and encouraged, "Go out for a walk? ”

"I don't want to go," Qin Wan shook her head, "there is nothing to see on the street, there is snow everywhere, and I don't set off fireworks, and I have to take a group of people with me when I go out." There are guests in Ming'er's house, and I have to get up early, and I don't want to go out. Besides, what can you buy for just a tael of silver? ”

Qin Wan deliberately sarcastic.

Qin Ruizhuo pouted depressedly, although his father and mother both gave New Year's money, but the amount was not much, in the past, he could still touch a little from Aunt Ji, and after tearing his face, the one hundred taels of silver from Aunt Ji were also lost, and he really couldn't buy anything with this bit of silver in his hand.

"Forget it, I'll go out for a walk and buy you two candy men back." After Qin Ruizhuo led people to prayed to Bai Zhishui, he prepared to go out from the side door.

Under normal circumstances, Chinese New Year's Eve is to keep the New Year together, but this year there is a situation in the Xiangfu, Qin Dongshan is not in the mood, and after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they will disperse, not to mention taking a few children out for a walk, that is, keeping the New Year is saved.

Qin Ruizhuo took two small servants, and there were two secret guards in the shadows to follow, Bai Zhishui was also relieved, and only told him the time of the curfew, and let him go out.

Although Qin Dongshan was warned by the old emperor, as the head of the clear stream in the court, there are many people who befriend him, and every year on the first day of the new year, it is the day when the prime minister's house opens its doors to welcome guests.

Qin Dongshan is a model of Qingliu, but because of the particularity of the position of "prime minister", he has to wander among the various magnates in Shengjing, so Qin Dongshan must be the day of entertaining Qingliu at the beginning of the new year every year, and the third day of the first month is the day when he socializes with other officials of the DPRK and China.

At this point, Qin Wan also admits that Qin Dongshan is sleek, seemingly neutral, but in fact, he maintains relations with various factions, no matter which faction wins in the future, Qin Dongshan can stand in the past logically, not to mention, Qin Dongshan itself has its own team, and it shuttles between various factions with ease, secretly plotting against useful talents.

Qin Wan sat in the "Zhiyuan" with the snow ball, there were many people coming today, Bai Zhishui was not worried about the two children, and temporarily arranged them in the main courtyard.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing Qin Ruizhuo's shadow, Qin Wan said to Lychee: "You go to the eldest brother's yard to take a look." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Lychee came back with a panicked expression, "Miss, the eldest young master hasn't returned overnight!" ”

"How is that possible?" Qin Wan stood up suddenly, "If the eldest brother doesn't return overnight, my mother won't know." ”

"Miss, the slave maid brought the little maid in the young master's courtyard."

"Say, what the hell is going on!" Looking at the slave who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Qin Wan was angry.

"Miss Hui, the little one doesn't know anything, it's all done according to the young master's instructions, the young master told the little one before he left yesterday, if he hasn't come back by the time of a stick of incense before the curfew, let the little one report to the lady, saying that he has come back, sleep first, and come to greet tomorrow. The little one did as the young master ordered, but after waiting for a night, the young master didn't come back. ”

"Do you know you've made a big mistake!" Qin Wan's eyes were red in a hurry, and he kicked the little guy a few times.

No matter how stubborn Qin Ruizhuo is, he will not stay up all night, at most he will come back after playing a little clever access control.

"Miss!" Lychee finally grabbed Qin Wan, "Do you want to report this matter to Mrs. ”

"Don't want it for the time being, ask Mama Gong to bring someone, and I'll go out to find my eldest brother." Taking two deep breaths, Qin Wan tried to calm her emotions.

Lychee looked at Qin Wan disapprovingly, the eldest young master is the only concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if something happens, what will Mrs. and Miss do in the future?

Compared with the urgency here, Qindongshan is much more leisurely.

At this time, he was taking everyone into the theater.

The birthday banquet of the old lady of the former Erqin, because of the unexpected situation, not only was the Xiangfu dragged into the crisis, but even his image in the clear stream was greatly reduced, so today Erqin Dongshan held his breath, not only to reverse his image, but also to shock the reputation of the Xiangfu!

The literati paid the most attention to integrity, not to mention the vassal elegance. Qin Dongshan has already prepared a few sour poems and a few calligraphy and paintings at the bottom of the box, ready to take them out today and taste them with his colleagues.

Although Qingliu is not as powerful as the wealthy families, they cannot underestimate their status and influence in the court. Nowadays, most of the rising stars in the court regard themselves as "clear streams", and many important official positions are clear streams, and clear streams gradually occupy an important position in the court, and there are faint signs of catching up with and surpassing the family.

Think about it too.

The powerful families of Longdu, after a hundred years of accumulation, are intertwined with each other and entangled too deeply, and use this complex relationship to tie each other together, although it can consolidate each other's status, but it has also become a big problem for the old emperor!

No one in power wants a potential threat to their rights, let alone being watched, and the deeper these forces are entangled, the stronger the old emperor's desire to get rid of them. Over the years, some families have been quietly suppressed, and now, there are only a few century-old families left, such as Jingwangfu and Zhenshan Wangfu.

The old emperor spared no effort to support Qinggui, and his purpose was clearly revealed.

As the head of the clear stream, Qindongshan has a tendency to respond to all calls, and the reuse of the old emperor, as well as the unusual favor of Qinwan, have raised Qindongshan and Xiangfu to a new height.

Qin Dongshan is a personal essence, these years have paid more attention to cultivating their own connections, and now a large part of the new students are his students, even if he does not have a century-old background, but there is a team to compete with the family!
