Chapter 124: Self-examination and correction of mistakes with a clear conscience
Nalan Rongjin was able to get the crown prince's order, which was undoubtedly the emperor's trust in him.
You must know that the last minister to get the order of the Son of Heaven was Lord Zhang, the first assistant of the cabinet.
Now Mr. Zhang has abdicated and returned to his hometown.
Nalan Rongjin, as the new champion and the husband of the county lord, is young and promising, and it is difficult to say whether he will become the next cabinet chief assistant in a few years.
For a time, Nalan Rongjin had the same scenery.
One person has ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and Wen Wen is also beautiful.
Although she is a concubine, her degree of favor is also seen by other ladies.
Although Mrs. Zhou and her ilk intended to make friends with Nalan Rongjin's backyard, they still couldn't see the identity of Concubine Wen's room, so they didn't get close to it.
But those ladies who are not from famous families have no such concerns.
Many of them have become the ladies of the main house through various means, and they firmly believe that being favored is the ability of a backyard woman.
So I'm happy to associate with Wen Wen.
I only want to be able to benefit my own adults through Wen Wen's relationship.
Wen Wen knew what the purpose of the lady she had befriended was in her heart.
But she really enjoyed the feeling of being held by the stars, and the gift that should have been rejected was hidden from Nalan Rongjin or kept it privately.
Qiu Ju said worriedly: "Lord Nalan has clearly said that he will not accept gifts, and I am afraid that Mrs. will cause dissatisfaction among adults if she does this." ”
Wen Wen said disapprerovingly: "Then don't let the adults know." ”
"But the slave is afraid that it will ...... in case"
"If you don't say it, I don't say it, the giver doesn't say it, who can let him know."
Qiu Ju wanted to say something, Wen Wen interrupted: "Mrs. Ben knows what you mean, but Qiu Ju, how difficult it is for us to come all the way, you know best, it is difficult to move an inch without money, Nalan Mansion has long been hollowed out by that old woman, and now there are a lot of accounts on credit outside, do you want to see adults being poked in the backbone because they don't pay back the money?" ”
Qiu Ju pursed her lips: "Although the words are said ...... so?"
Wen Wen snorted coldly: "Mrs. Ben can't be a concubine for a lifetime, the lord of Huaming is rich, but he has helped the minister, Mrs. Ben has no money, but she also has to work hard to earn money to solve the problem of food and clothing in Nalan Mansion." ”
Now that the county lord of Huaming is not in Nalan Mansion, it is Wen Wen who is in charge.
Since she wants to be this family, she must take this home well.
Nalan Rongjin didn't want to collect money, so she helped him collect it secretly.
Nalan Rongjin wants to be a Qing official, and she will never embarrass him.
What she did was the benefit that should have been given to anyone, and she also had to get a little out of it.
For example, not long ago, Nalan Rongjin had already appointed Shuzhou Shilang to cooperate with him to investigate the case.
She only spoke a little in front of the waiter's wife, and the waiter's wife knew what to do.
A hundred taels of silver, not much.
For a squire, it's only a few years.
Wen Wen held it in her hand and used it as an untimely need in Nalan Mansion, and Nalan Rongjin would not blame her even if she knew about it.
Wen Wen is very clear about the principle of husband and wife, although she is only a concubine now.
But she, a concubine, wants to look better than a wife.
Sooner or later, the position of the master mother of Nalan Mansion will also be hers.
No matter how rich and powerful the lord of Huaming is, he doesn't know how to take his husband first, and he will never be able to take advantage of it in marriage.
Wen Wen is smart, so naturally she can't be like Liu Wanwan, she dares to say anything for the sake of interests, and she dares to take any job.
As long as she firmly planted herself in Nalan Rongjin's heart, it was enough.
Qiu Ju listened to Wen Wen's words, knew that it was useless for her to say more, and also understood that Wen Wen's move was understandable.
What's more, out of the one hundred taels, Wen Wen gave her ten taels of silver.
Qiu Ju has nothing to complain about.
The old house of the Song family.
Wen Yin lay in the small courtyard, feeling the crisp autumn air.
She closed her eyes and reviewed the Jiangnan forced labor tax case she had learned about in her previous life, and knew that this case was widely implicated, about at least half a year.
Half a year later, Nalan Rongjin returned to Beijing with honor and became the emperor's favorite.
With the turmoil of the border defense, the "Northern Xinjiang" lost ground one after another, and some military generals, including the Song family, gradually lost their status in the court.
Wen Yin opened her eyes slightly, and understood that in this civil and military battle, the Song family was the "chicken" who killed chickens and set an example for monkeys.
If you want to change this situation, or change the emperor's view of the Song family, Wen Yinsi survives, I'm afraid there are only these two directions.
The first is self-examination.
This time Song Zhihuan's case, Song Chengyu handled it very well, and the act of killing relatives in righteousness will naturally make the emperor take a look at it.
Next, we have to see if there is such a phenomenon within the side branch of the Song family.
and deal with the internal problems of the Song family.
The second is to correct the mistakes of others.
For example, Nalan Rongjin, the new champion of the emperor most valued.
Today's Zhou Huansheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Wei Wenjing, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army directly under the control of the emperor, and Yu Xiaohan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
And, certain members of the royal family.
After clarifying the connection, Wen Yin opened Mrs. Zhou's invitation letter.
This time, Mrs. Zhou's location was in Yunxi Bamboo Path.
The theme is: What is the official wife?
In addition to the wives of officials from the capital, there were also many local officials and wives in Jiangnan who had not been involved in the case.
After Yang Meitian was invited, she sent someone to ask Wen Yin if she would participate.
It's not that Yang Meitian doesn't like to be lively, but she's afraid that the ladies in the capital will blame the families of Jiangnan officials this time.
If it is a criticism meeting, they have no idea to touch the mold.
Nowadays, corruption in Jiangnan is ugly in the whole of Jiangxi, and it has affected the reputation of many officials who are innocent and hard-working, and many people's trust in Jiangnan officials is extremely low.
even slapped his parents' faces, spitted dirty words, and threw rotten eggs on the street.
Ye Liangyang was deeply affected.
It was the big stone lion at the gate of Yefu, and it was smashed into a hole.
Yang Meitian was angry and couldn't wait to let Ye Liangyang resign and go home to inherit the property.
This time, Mrs. Zhou, the wife of Zhou Huansheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not know what the purpose of the banquet was.
It would be nice to just discuss how the wife can assist her husband as the letter says.
The ladies of Jiangnan are also looking forward to having an opportunity to speak for the honest officials and gentlemen who work hard.
Therefore, Yang Meitian came to question Wen Yin as a representative of the Jiangnan ladies.
Wen Yin trusts Mrs. Zhou's character, and believes that she will not fall into the grave on the huge humiliation suffered by Jiangnan officials.
In addition, she also had a thought, this bureau ...... Could it be just Mrs. Zhou's arrangement?
Mrs. Zhou's maiden family is a side branch of the old prince Xuanyuan, and to talk about it in detail, the relationship between Mrs. Zhou and the royal family is also quite close.
There is a cousin relationship between Mrs. Zhou and the Empress Dowager.
In addition, the queen mother's entry into the palace was also arranged by the queen mother.
What's more, what kind of place is Yunxi Bamboo Trail...... A royal winter retreat.
After analyzing these clearly, Wen Yin immediately replied to the person sent by Yang Meitian.
Let Yang Meitian and the wives of other officials in Jiangnan be sure to arrive on time that day, and everything will be cut in with the guidance of Mrs. Zhou, and they can speak freely.
