A loud baby's cry was like a tender green sprout struggling to roll open, tearing through the barren and gloomy sky over the Xiao family. The morning sun is shining brightly, and birds are chirping.

Xiao Qingyan stood in the courtyard, watching Mama Qin cry with joy, watching Qin Er fall to the ground on his knees, hiding his face and crying bitterly.

People use crying to vent their grief, and they also use crying to express joy.

Jian Xin, who was helping in the house, jumped out and gestured to Xiao Qingyan excitedly: "The child is born!" It's a little girl, very beautiful! ”

Xiao Qingyan glanced at her and taught seriously: "Jian Xin, be honest, ugly is ugly, and you can't speak against your heart." ”

The child of the sister of the six clans shrunk into a ball, like a wrinkled monkey, very ugly, neither like Ji Sanlang elegant and handsome, nor as dignified and beautiful as the sister of the six clans, and it is estimated that the little monkey of the Qin family is similar.

Xiao Yun came out of the house, heard it, and said with a smile: "It's like this when children are just born, and after a few days, Yuxue will be cute, and this child's eyebrows and eyes are really good." ”

"Thank you, old slave, lady! Thank you, Madame! ”

Mama Qin happily pulled up Qin Er and came to Xiao Qingyan, the mother and son didn't say too much, just kept kowtowing.

Xiao Qingyan avoided half a step to the side and said, "Let's go see their mother and daughter!" ”

Zhou Shu stood in the corner, smiling and watching Qin Er stupidly blocked out of the door by his mother, there was more than her daughter-in-law in the house, he couldn't go in.

Suddenly, there was a sound of sobbing behind him, and when Zhou Shu turned around, he saw Qian Feng, the nephew of Steward Qian, grinning and sobbing, laughing and crying, looking even more stupid than Qin Er.

"Why are you crying? It's not your daughter-in-law who gives birth. ”

Qian Feng raised his hand to wipe his tears and grinned.

He finally understood why Jiu Langjun wanted to bring Qin's second sister-in-law here, instead of waiting for the child to be born, and only bring the child over, because only here is there a doctor who can save his life.

"The little one just thinks that Jiulang-kun is so good!"

Really, it's good!

Jiu Langjun did not take the child of Qin's second sister-in-law to replace the child of the sixth lady, as if these two children were the same, no one was expensive or cheap.

It's as if he and they are the same.

Zhou Shu smiled and sighed, "Yes, you don't have to take such a risk. ”

Handing over the children of the Qin Er family once and for all, simple and direct, no one would know, but he chose the most troublesome and dangerous method.

Is the young chivalrous and hot-blooded fearless?

Zhou Shu got goosebumps all over his body, his Jiulang, he can take people's lives in a few words, and calculated people into Huangquan Road, that person is a ghost and doesn't know who to find revenge.

Youthful chivalry? Bloody and fearless? Zhou Shu shook violently.

"Zhou Shu." Xiao Qingyan's voice came.

Zhou Shu hurriedly answered and followed Xiao Qingyan out of the guest house.

Qian Feng stood alone in place, looking at the figure in light clothes as a cloud in the distance, the early morning sun fell on the person through the gorgeous morning glow, bright and dazzling.

"I figured it out, the third master didn't know at first, it was Steward Qian who cut first and then played, using both soft and hard, and coerced Qin Er with words, and after Mo Niang took the oxytocic medicine, he reported it to the third master."

As Zhou Shu walked, he told Xiao Qingyan about the results of his investigation.

Xiao Qingyan was suspicious of this matter when he saw Qian Feng's disdainful attitude towards Steward Qian, which allowed Zhou Shu to quietly learn about the situation from Qian Feng.

Zhou Shu: "Mama Qin's family is indeed loyal servants, as Qian Feng said, even if they really let them send their children out to die, they have no complaints, but Steward Qian's approach is really despicable and unacceptable." ”

Xiao Qingyan said: "Go back and pay some money from our North Courtyard account, pick a few fine cotton cloths and supplements, and send them to Qin Er, just say, let them be wronged today, and I will remember the loyalty of their family." ”

"But do you want to send it openly?" Zhou Shu said, "Today's behavior of Steward Qian is very unpopular, so that everyone in the mansion can clearly see who is most worthy of their loyalty." ”

"No need, Mama Qin's family is from the other side of the East Courtyard after all, I sent things over, didn't I blatantly tell my uncle, grandfather and third uncle that I want to win people's hearts and reach out to seize power?"

Zhou Shu smiled and nodded: "Yes." ”

But what I thought was: Aren't you just trying to win people's hearts and reach out to seize power?

Xiao Qingyan glanced at him, smiled shallowly, and said: "I want people's hearts, I want to seize power, this Luojing City ......"

She paused and said: "This Great Jin Dynasty is about to change the sky, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, leveling the world, I have been cultivating myself all these years, and I will start to govern the country in the near future. ”

At present, the Great Jin Dynasty selects officials, adopts the nine-product Zhongzheng system, and initially promotes talents according to the individual's ability and conduct, but with the accumulation of time, the system is too heavily influenced by artificiality, and has gradually evolved into employing people according to the family lineage.

Appointing people without avoiding relatives has caused the monopoly of the clan on the officialdom, arranging their own clansmen into various positions, and the clan politics with the family as the unit gradually takes shape.

If a person wants to make a difference, he must have a strong and reliable family to rely on, and the family also needs to support outstanding talents to continue to consolidate and strengthen the strength of the family.

The individual and the family are not just the simple and warm relationship of ordinary people's families, but an interdependent interaction of interests.

It's cold, but Xiao Qingyan can only abide by this kind of rule at the moment.

If a lone wolf is faced with countless wolf groups one after another, and it does not have the capital to become a wolf king for the time being, then if it wants to be an enemy of these wolf packs, the result can only be torn apart, so small that there is not even a little flesh and blood left.

The current Xiao Qingyan really has to stay honestly in the wolf pack of the Xiao family in Yunling, and dominate countless wolf packs, so he has to start with the wolf pack of the Xiao family.

Xiao Qingyan said: "The human heart is the most delicate thing in the world, and if it is too deliberate, it will lose sincerity and be not beautiful." ”

"Yes, the villain will personally deliver the things tonight."

Xiao Qingyan nodded and asked, "That Qian Feng, how do you look at it?" ”

Zhou Shu replied: "Looking at the results of today's temptation, that kid is reliable, his mind is lively, and he is also righteous, unlike his uncle. ”

Although it was an accident for Xiao Qingyan to meet Qian Feng at Qin Er's place today, it was not Xiao Qingyan's temporary idea to ask Qian Feng to help carry people.

Qian Feng is the distant nephew of Qian Dongping, the big housekeeper of the Xiao family, and he followed Qian Dongping to do chores, and was treated harshly by Qian Dongping, Xiao Qingyan had already asked Zhou Shu to pay attention to him for some time.

If she hadn't done a certain amount of investigation and understanding, she would never have used someone who didn't know the root of the situation in such a dangerous situation today.

"Keep an eye on him, don't let him leak today's events, but if he's smart enough to keep his mouth shut, then you can try to get in touch, and use it if you can."

Zhou Shu lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”
