As a model of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, Su Roujia's thinking is actually very right.

Although her father has a knighthood and her grandmother also has a decree, but these ranks are all given by the emperor, so in front of the emperor, can you get any special favor?

Apparently not.

Compared with the ranks, these people who will always stand by the emperor's side are the real vitality.

When Su Roujia walked all the way to Su Zhaoning's courtyard, she complained very much about Su Zhenyi in her heart. If it was Su Zhaoning who entered the palace to thank him for the embroidery that day, then today, maybe Su Zhaoning would be able to ask the palace concubine for help.

Sometimes blood relatives are not as good as the people next to them.

Su Zhaoning also understood Su Roujia's considerations.

But the difficulty is that she really has no friendship with the four princes.

If you want to talk about friendship, maybe ......

Su Zhaoning's peach blossom eyes appeared in front of him.

No, they don't have a friendship either.

But big brother, she really can't ask from other people.

"Big sister, don't worry, you can tell me what you know. In this way, I will go to find someone and talk better. Su Zhaoning shook Su Roujia's hand and said.

No matter what kind of character Su Roujia is, in Su Jinyu's matter, Su Zhaoning agrees that they are the same.

They all hope that Su Jinyu will be well.

Su Roujia relayed what the Rhubarb clan said to Su Zhaoning: "It means that there is a problem with the transportation of grain." The household booklet said that 30,000 quintals of grain were transported, but the news reported back from the front was that it was only 3,000 quintals. ”

"Your Majesty, is it possible to suspect that more than 20,000 loads of grain have been taken by the household department?" Hearing this, Su Zhaoning was a little relieved. Her eldest brother is just a household servant, and it is impossible for him to bear this big crime alone. It's just that even if the entire household department is responsible for the crime, Su Zhaoning feels unreasonable.

All the people in charge of the household department are oil and water errands, and if you really want to be greedy for ink, the worst choice is to start with military rations.

After all, the matter of military rations is really related to the victory or defeat of the border pass. If the soldiers can't eat, where will they have the strength to fight?

It's really a matter of losing ground, and it's not just about money. When the enemy invades, his life will be gone, and he will need that little food and that money for what to do.

"How could the household department be tempted by this matter, and how could His Majesty suddenly speculate on the household department?" Su Zhaoning felt that there must be another introduction to this matter.

She did anticipate it.

I only heard Su Roujia reply: "It's not a guess. I heard that a small official of the household department died at home yesterday, he has no wife and no children, and it is the people of the government who go to do the funeral for him. There was a problem with this office, the little official's bed looked old, and it turned out to be a bed made of pure gold. ”

"Golden Bed!" Su Zhaoning was also shocked, she couldn't help but say to herself, "A little official, where did you get such gold." ”

"So Your Majesty is furious." Su Roujia had a sad face, her slender brows were tangled into a knot, "Actually, this matter can definitely not be the fault of the eldest brother." Although the prestige of our Chang'an Hou Mansion is far inferior to that of other Hou Mansions, where is the money so stretched and difficult, so do you have to defy the law? ”

Su Zhaoning shook his head and replied to Su Roujia: "I always feel that this matter is not so simple. 30,000 quintals of grain, reduced to 3,000 quintals, less than so much, where can the wind and waves be calm for so long. ”

There are more than 20,000 loads of food missing from the front, and logically speaking, the war will definitely be affected. But in the letter sent by Chen Tianyang, there was no such concern at all.

Su Zhaoning always felt that there was something else going on in this matter, but she couldn't do it.

Although she could hear about the court, she didn't know enough after all. Besides, if she guessed the holy will, she was not qualified to face the saint.

Su Zhaoning thought for a while and replied to Su Roujia: "I'll go to the eldest girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion immediately." ”

The one she can really talk about should be Nan Wanwan.

Su Roujia thought deeper: "It's still the second sister who thinks about it thoroughly, the cousin of the Marquis of Dingyuan and the fourth prince, he speaks, it is more useful than the fourth sister you go directly to intercede." ”

"I'll send you there." After Su Roujia finished speaking, she stood up.

She was also in a hurry.

Su Zhaoning nodded, and did not insist on explaining it clearly.

Now the top priority is to understand the situation of her eldest brother and rescue her eldest brother.

All the rest can be put aside.

The carriage soon arrived outside the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, and Su Zhaoning got off the carriage and saw that the gate of the Hou Mansion was open.

The little guy guarding the door was very sharp-eyed, and when he saw the unique mark on the carriage of the Marquis of Chang'an, he immediately ran over.

He said respectfully: "Is it Miss Su?" Our lady said you are here, and you can come in and find her at any time. ”

Su Zhaoning was surprised.

But she's glad it's been the case. This is obviously more conducive to her asking for help from Nan Wanwan.

Nan Wanwan heard about it, and Su Zhaoning spoke better.

As the subordinates walked into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Su Zhaoning discovered another accident.

Although Nan Wanwan was waiting for her with a message, there was no candle in her room.

After the next person gave the light, the light in Nanwanwan's room lit up. After a while, Nan Wanwan's voice sounded in the room.

"Please come in, Miss Su."

Su Zhaoning pushed the door in, Nan Wanwan rubbed her eyes, and looked up at her with a face that was not a little powdery: "Sister Su, don't worry. ”

Wan Wan really knew about that.

The stone on Su Zhaoning's heart fell slightly.

Nan Wanwan said: "The key to this matter is to find out where the military rations are going. But this matter will not be clear for a while. General Chen Xiao is still on his way back to Beijing, and if he doesn't return to Beijing, he will definitely not be able to find out. Checking the little official first may be the quickest solution that can be chosen for the time being. ”

Su Zhaoning felt that what Nan Wanwan said was very reasonable, and after she nodded, she asked, "Then how is my eldest brother now?" ”

"I was imprisoned this morning." After Nan Wanwan yawned, she raised her hand to pick up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Su Zhaoning.

"Sister Su, you don't have to worry too much. Your brother is not the only one in prison. The group of people in the household department are now implicated. Nan Wanwan also poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip.

"You take a sip of tea. This tea has ginger slices in it, and it tastes great. Nan Wanwan said.

Su Zhaoning raised his cup and took a sip as he said. The tea with residual warmth enters the abdomen, and there is a warmth.

Su Zhaoning asked Nan Wanwan: "That little official, where does he live?" What have you heard of Wanwan? ”

Nan Wanwan yawned again and replied sleepily: "People from the Green Cloud Alley in the north of the city." It's just that the family is gone. This little official is actually ......"

"Wanwan, I'm sorry to disturb your rest." Su Zhaoning yawned again when he saw Nan Wanwan halfway through speaking, and apologized embarrassedly.

Nan Wanwan waved her hand and told the truth: "My brother has already entered the palace to inquire, and he will tell you when there is news." I can't really help you with today's affairs. But I can accompany you, and whatever you want to say, I will listen. ”

Su Zhaoning didn't expect that the arrangement at the door was actually made by Nan Huaixin.

She still couldn't hold back her worries and asked, "Wanwan, may I ask when did Master Hou enter the palace?" ”

"It's been hours." Nan Wanwan poured herself a big sip of tea, hoping that she would be more sober.

After all, it was really painful to be woken up when I was sleepy.

A voice that relieved both Su Zhaoning and Nan Wanwan sounded outside the door.

"Wanwan, did you sleep? Has Miss Su been here? It was Minami Huaixin's voice.

Su Zhaoning hurriedly stood up and opened the door.

Nan Huaixin hadn't thought that Su Zhaoning happened to be inside. He was about to push the door in, and as soon as Su Zhaoning opened the door, Nan Huaixin almost bumped into Su Zhaoning.

He reached out and grabbed Su Zhaoning's elbow and asked her to stand still.

"It's rude." Nan Huaixin saw Su Zhaoning's anxious face, and he went straight to the topic, "Now it's not just the Marquis of Chang'an and the old lady of Chang'an who are pleading in the palace. It is a good place, and there are many people who have gone to great lengths to get in. Therefore, those who are qualified to intercede with the saint have now entered the palace. ”

When Su Zhaoning heard this, the stone in his heart became heavier.

Nan Huaixin's words behind really confirmed her uneasiness.

"The more this happens, the more the Holy One refuses to quench his anger." Nan Huaixin looked at Su Zhaoning's outfit, with beaded hairpins on her bun, and her ears were also wearing plum blossom earrings that he had sent out yesterday - obviously she was different from her sister Wanwan, who had never fallen asleep.

Nan Huaixin promised: "Second Miss Su, don't worry, I will definitely help Su Shilang wash away his grievances as soon as possible." ”

That's what he does, and he does more than he says. Since Su Jinyu's accident during the day, he has already gone to the yamen to learn about the case, and then went to the vicinity of the official's home to inquire about the news. Before leaving the palace here, he went to see the four princes.

But Nan Huaixin didn't think to say these words at all.

He wanted to protect Su Zhaoning and be good to Su Zhaoning, and these thoughts turned into real efforts.

But just like what Su Jinyu had before, no one is a worm in anyone's heart, and there is no way to completely guess the other party's mind.

Therefore, Su Zhaoning could only ask bluntly: "Master Hou, Your Majesty must be angry now, will he dispose of the people in the household department in advance?" ”

"It's a huge household, and it's impossible to completely wipe out everyone in it at once. Although most of them are in prison now, tomorrow His Majesty will let a few people come out temporarily. Nan Huaixin replied.

"Then my eldest brother ......" When Su Zhaoning heard this, he was filled with hope and couldn't help asking.

Nan Huaixin was a little unbearable, but he still told the truth: "Those who come out temporarily must be able to grasp the situation of the entire household." The Tobe Shangshu Club is one of them, and the squire will come out. But Su Shilang has only been in the household department for a short time, and His Majesty may not consider him. ”

Su Zhaoning's hard-to-ignite hope was extinguished again.

This matter is a big matter, and Nan Huaixin doesn't know how to tell Su Zhaoning.

If he told him all he thought, I'm afraid it would really worry her.

Nan Huaixin looked at Su Zhaoning in front of him, and remembered the picture of the temple fair for no reason.

Su Zhaoning and Chen Tianyang stood side by side on the second floor, the two looked at each other, looking like a talented woman.
