Chapter 372: Meet Xi
"If you need any help from you, come to the Zhenguo Mansion!" The Yang family believes in Lin Shuran, although her father Lin Youxing did not make a clear position, whether it is the Lin family or the Wen family, they have always been loyal to the emperor, not to mention that there is a concubine Yun in the palace, and now they must help the emperor get through this hurdle.
Lin Shuran took the children to eat lunch at the Zhenguo Mansion and went home, but when they returned home, Lei Haobai and Du Yuan had to follow together, they were reluctant to let their little sister Xu Manman, so Lei Yingying went to the General's Mansion with him.
When she arrived at the General's Mansion, Lei Yingying asked Chen Jiayu to pick her up again, and the three sisters sat in the room and talked.
"Sister Ran, you just have to ask Sister Jiayu about the ladies in the capital, she knows very well!" Lei Yingying raised her eyebrows, looked at Lin Shuran, and said with a meaningful smile.
Chen Jiayu didn't know why, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" What are you going to ask the ladies of the family to do? ”
Now that Chen Jiayu is no longer the princess of Prince Alcohol's Mansion, and has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Shuran doesn't want to involve her in these rights and wrongs, but Lei Yingying quickly told Chen Jiayu the truth, and Chen Jiayu also fell into deep thought after hearing it.
"Sister Jiayu, you don't have to take these things to heart about Yingying, let alone get involved!" Lin Shuran originally planned to figure out the relationship between the various prefectures in the capital first, and then decide what to do next, the things that the Yang family asked her to help sounded simple, but there were too many things and interests to consider behind this, and it was not a very easy task to complete.
Chen Jiayu raised her head and smiled lightly, and said: "I can't help you with anything, but I can draw a picture for you, I hope it can help you, say it as soon as you need my help, in addition, you can also find someone, she should be able to help you!" ”
"Who?" Lin Shuran and Lei Yingying looked at Chen Jiayu at the same time and asked.
"The proprietor of the Liangyuan Pavilion, the wife of the Tongcha Si is the third product of the Tongcha Envoy, Xi's family!" Chen Jiayu was able to enter the palace of Prince Alcohol back then, and this Xi family also helped, don't look at her as the lady of Zhengsanpin, who is holding more than just the young men and women at both ends of the red line, and also knows a lot about their family.
Soon after Chen Jiayu went back, he sent Lin Shuran a drawing, which listed the families and mansions with real power and power in the capital, although there were many imperial relatives, princes and nobles, and civil and military officials in the capital, but there were only a few families that really had an impact on the situation, and the others were just vassals.
With Chen Jiayu's picture, it is like knowing the trunk of the tree clearly, as long as you grasp the trunk, other branches and leaves will naturally swing.
At the low end of this picture is naturally the palace, and the most powerful under the palace is the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion, followed by the family and civil and military officials, and the reason why the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is powerful is because the Wei family is originally from a family, and the Yuan family's mother Yuan family is also powerful, with two major clans behind it to rely on, and the queen in the palace supports it, so naturally no one dares to provoke.
Not only that, Lin Shuran also learned from Xu Junze that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the military attache have always been very close, and there are many military generals in the court who have a close relationship with him.
Back then, Wei Qianjie, the Marquis of Dingyuan, thought that the Queen Mother and Zhao You's mother and son were weak and easy to control, so he supported Zhao You as the emperor, but he didn't expect that the little emperor looked young and immature but had a lot of eyes, and gradually cultivated his own power, and his wings hardened under his nose, and he dared to confront him.
Now in the capital, in addition to Xu Junze, who represents the emperor, who commands 100,000 dragon guards and Lei Zhanpeng's guards and horses, it is Yuan Chong, the secretary of the military department, and Su He, the great Sima Su He before, and Su He was punished for being implicated in the case of his son Su Yunsheng and went to southern Xinjiang, the military power in his hands is now in the hands of the Qing prince, and finally Wei Qianjie, the Marquis of Dingyuan, who has the soldiers and horses of the two major military camps on the outskirts of the capital, and Yuan Chong, the secretary of the military department, is still his eldest brother, in fact, guarding the military camps in the east, west, north and south of the capital, There is only one place that is truly in the hands of the emperor.
Lin Shuran met the Xi family through her mother Wen again, because of the marriage of the county lord of Xiqing, Lin Shuran knew that this Xi family was not simple, and the Wen family and the Xi family were friends, and they also helped themselves, and when they saw the Xi family, Lin Shuran respected them with the courtesy of the juniors, but the Xi family was a little flattered.
"Ma'am, this is unacceptable!" In terms of grade, Xi is Mrs. Zhengsanpin, and Lin Shuran is Mrs. Zhengyipin, she should give Lin Shuran a gift.
"Aunt is an elder, and she can afford this gift!" Lin Shuran met the Xi family in the Taifu Mansion, and the Wen family was on the side.
"Sister Ran is right, don't be polite to this child, she has something to ask you for today!" Wen said with a smile.
Xi Shi hurriedly said: "If there is anything to say as soon as possible, as long as I can help!" ”
Xi's usually deals with outsiders, and she is more sleek and sophisticated, and she had a deep friendship with Wen in her early years, and she treats her differently from others, and she also takes Wen's daughter as her own family to take care of.
Lin Shuran then smiled and said: "Auntie, then I'm not welcome, you also know that there are thirteen boys in my house, and they have all grown up a lot at this age, the eldest and second are all fifteen or sixteen years old, it seems to be younger, but in fact, people like their age have begun to talk about getting married, I am not in a hurry, I just want to inquire first, which girl looks suitable, you can tell me." ”
"It turns out that this is the case, it's not difficult, it's just that the family is right for the age, it's really hard to say for a while, the right age for the ladies of each province is still young, and there is nothing to see in the personality, if it is two or three years late, you can see the true temperament." As soon as he heard that it was a matter of telling the young master of the Xu family about his relatives, the Xi family was interested, Lin Shuran was really a qualified mother-in-law, and at this time he was thinking about finding relatives for the young master of the Xu family.
"I heard that there are many daughters of the Yuan family, the secretary of the military department, and all of them are peugeot! I wonder if there is a suitable girl in his family? Lin Shuran deliberately mentioned the home of Yuan Chong, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
In fact, she has already asked people to inquire, Yuan Chong's family has nineteen daughters, over the years Yuan Chong has tried everything in order to have a son, but just like God deliberately went against him, the more he wanted a son, the more he gave birth to a daughter, now Yuan Chong has white hair, or no son to inherit the incense, I heard that his concubine is pregnant again, and it is very likely that she is still a daughter.
