Chapter 260: Figure it out
Sure enough, as Li Qingyi expected.
She looked at Shen Nianzhen, Shen Nianzhen was still a little embarrassed, "Cousin niece, to tell you the truth, I don't want to go back to Changzhou, I have no support, I have no way to do anything, and now that I am in the capital, I lick my face and ask for care in front of my cousin and sister-in-law, I want to make a living." lest you sit on a mountain and eat nothing, and you will not be supported in the future."
Li Qingyi listened to her self-reliant tone, admired her temperament a little, and asked, "What is my cousin good at?"
Shen Nianzhen smiled and said, "I'm really good at it, I can make all kinds of candied fruits, but I don't know if this kind of little thing can enter the eyes of the nobles in Beijing."
Li Qingyi said with a smile: "It's delicious and naturally sold, but how to sell it, you have to ask the person in our family who is the best at doing business."
"Ask my cousin?" Shen Nianzhen said just do it, "Why don't I go buy some fruits first, make some for my cousin-in-law to taste, and if I get her approval, I will talk about anything else."
*****
After tossing with Shen Nianzhen for a few days, the first thing Li Qingyi did when he returned to the Wei Mansion was to find the county lord of Yuanheng.
"Mother, I've always felt that something was wrong, but I've finally figured it out these days."
The county lord of Yuanheng was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"Mother, you have lived under the same roof as Wei Shicheng for more than ten years, so you should have a certain understanding of him. Do you think that after I tossed around in the Wei Mansion for so long, he didn't know anything, or did he keep watching behind his back?"
"Wait and see."
The county lord of Yuanheng replied without hesitation, and then, a chill rose in his heart, "Only if the matter is always under his control, he will let you do it......
Li Qingyi nodded.
Maybe it's because when she was in the Wei family, she was always tense and vigilant, and she couldn't figure out where the wrong thing was, but in the past few days, she has been with Li Miaoran and a few people together, relaxed physically and mentally, but her thinking has become transparent, and she suddenly found the problem.
"No matter how smart and resourceful the Lin family is, she is just a daughter-in-law of the Wei family. Daughter-in-law is such a thing, for Mrs. Wei, the old does not go, and the new does not come. Wei Shicheng wouldn't care about what would happen to a useless brother-in-law. If it was the second master Wei Shiyuan, or the third-room husband and wife who were caught by me, affecting the reputation or future of the Wei family, Wei Shicheng would definitely not just watch it."
Therefore, she has been thrilling in the Wei family every step of the way, but in the eyes of Wei Shicheng, she is still a child, and even picked the rotten fruit of the Lin family for him.
Except for Mrs. Wei's instructions to Wei Baozhu to plot the Li family's money, Wei Shicheng didn't pay attention to the rest at all.
"You're right, she even wants to change my eldest daughter-in-law, let alone a Lin family. Maybe she's already secretly looking for a house for Wei Shiyuan."
The county lord of Yuanheng felt gritted his teeth when he thought of Old Madam Wei's face.
Li Qingyi said, "Not so fast. If Wei Shicheng wants to be the first assistant, he has to enter the cabinet first, but in the cabinet kind of place, there are only a few positions, and where is it so easy to get in. It is not only necessary to evaluate his merits, but also to gain the appreciation of the cabinet ministers, to act for him internally, and even to train him as a successor. Song Minzhi is not very old in the cabinet, but he knows how to be flexible and has excellent popularity. If he can help Wei Shicheng, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." new
"So, Song Qian will be straightened?"
Li Qingyi said with a smile: "This position of a wife is like a radish in front of a donkey, hanging Song Qian's appetite every day, she will take care of Wei Shicheng in front of his uncle, right?"
Since ancient times, there have been five sayings of not marrying.
The first widow and eldest daughter did not marry, and in the second life, she did not marry if she had a bad disease, Song Qian's mother died of tuberculosis, and it was the first two things, plus her father died unexpectedly, some people said that Song Qian's life was hard, and her parents were tortured by her, so that the family affairs were bumpy.
Song Minzhi loves this niece whose parents died early very much, and she was raised as his own daughter, but he can't do anything about it.
Previously, Wei Shiyuan deliberately approached Song Qian at the behest of his brother, and Song Qian had feelings for Wei Shiyuan, and mentioned it to his uncle Song Minzhi, which was good
The matter of the concubine was therefore decided.
Previously, Song Qian "made a mistake", and the Wei family only grounded Song Minzhi in the face of Song Minzhi, but Wei Shiyuan was indifferent to him for a long time, and even beat him, and Song Qian's obedience was obedient.
This time I got the sweetness, so I had to work harder for the Wei family.
The county lord of Yuanheng sneered, "I'll just say that Song Qian's tail has been cocking a lot recently! But if the Wei family is worthless, Song Minzhi will not agree. What do you say about pampering your niece, isn't it mixed with interests? If it were me, even if I couldn't marry an old girl at home for the rest of my life, I wouldn't ask her to be a concubine!"
"But Song Qian doesn't think so, she believes in her uncle, and she also believes that Wei Shiyuan really loves her, and will work diligently to plan for the Wei family."
Lin died, Wei Shiyuan greeted Song Qian every day, saying that he had wronged her and should compensate her, but the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and the cause of Lin's death was not known to outsiders, so he declared that he "died of illness", and with the intention of respecting his deceased wife, he had to wait for at least a year to correct Song Qian.
One year is enough time for Wei Shicheng to borrow Song Minzhi to do many things.
If Song Qian is smart enough, she may be able to straighten out, but if she is not smart enough, she will be a good concubine in this life.
The county lord of Yuanheng didn't care about what would happen to Song Qian, and quickly put her matter behind him, and said, "Then again, if Wei Shicheng knows everything about what you are doing, then he should know that you will not be honestly manipulated by others, why do you still make a fuss about your family affairs, wouldn't it be in vain?"
"That's what I don't think is right."
Li Qingyi sat closer to the county lord of Yuanheng and said, "Don't say whether I will obey his arrangement to marry, even if I do, I may not listen to him and do things for him, and I still have my second uncle behind me, why don't I help the second uncle and help him?"
The county lord of Yuanheng frowned, "He must have some way to contain you."
Li Qingyi sat there and looked at her without speaking.
Lord Yuanheng was surprised, "You already know what it is?"
"Mother, isn't it right in front of my eyes?"
This pun made the county lord of Yuanheng shudder.
Li Qingyi saw that her lips were pursed and she looked speechless, and said, "From the very beginning, Wei Shicheng told his mother thousands of times, to be good to me, to ease the relationship between you and my mother and daughter, you don't have to bother with anything other than this. Therefore, the person he wants to pinch in his hand is never me, but you. You are the bargaining chip that Wei Shicheng used to contain me."
