The news from Shanxi Dusi spread in just a few days among several of the most famous Jiangmen families in Chang'an City.

According to the information revealed in the letter by the commander of Zhao Du, the capital of Shanxi, if there is no accident, it is the most likely that the children of these generals will be transferred to Shanxi.

This is also what Zhao Du means by commanding himself.

Since there are outsiders who are transferred to work under him, of course he hopes that the people who come will have real talents and learning, rather than the second generation of straw bales in vain. And if the temperament of the person who comes can be similar to his own, or voluntarily transferred, it would be even better. He revealed this tone in the letter, and he also hoped that the children of the Jiangmen family under the command of the Shaanxi Dusi would think carefully and make a choice voluntarily. Everyone is willing to work together in the future to be more harmonious.

The Hai family is not a gate, the Ma family and the Hu family among relatives and friends are not of enough grade, and the three rooms of the Zhou family are closed, so the Hai family went on vacation with peace of mind during the New Year, and did not get the news in time. Xie Wenzai didn't know what he was busy with, and he had not been there for a few days since he went to see the dealer on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and naturally he didn't hear about it. Lu Bainian has been confined to his home for a few days, and Cao Gengnian goes out as a guest every day, but his friends are all literati in Chang'an City, so it is naturally impossible to know the news in the military attache circle. In this way, it was not until Haijiao brought back news from friends today that the Hai family knew what was going to happen.

Hai Xiya was a little worried, and didn't say anything more to his wife and grandchildren, so he went to the front yard to find his cousin Xie Wenzai. Regarding the affairs of the border army, he consulted with Xie Wenzai.

Ma Shi was very calm: "The order will not fall on the head of the eldest brother and nephew, their officials are not big enough!" Although his brother-in-law served in the army, he was a civilian official, and the Shanxi Metropolitan Division looked down on him. What do you have to worry about? The master will worry about it! ”

Haijiao smiled: "Grandma, grandpa is now working in the Dusi Yamen, and he has to worry about the replacement of his boss!" Nowadays, it is not easy to have a boss who is kind and easy to get along with. ”

Ma Shi was stunned: "This is ...... However, the Shanxi Metropolitan Division is fine, and he will not transfer the son of the Duke of Zhenguo to the past. Besides, the real boss of the lord is actually the Tobe squire in the capital, and it's the same for whoever changes on top, who will have trouble with Lord Tao? ”

Ma was very calm, but she was more interested in the gossip that the eldest sister Zhou Ma sent someone to tell her today: "The lady of the Chengenhou Mansion in Beijing suddenly returned to Chang'an with a pair of children to visit relatives, and Ming'er only arrived, and it is too strange to pick this time!" The eldest sister was very curious, and she was embarrassed to inquire, so she hoped that when she went to the Zhenguo Mansion to eat New Year's wine the day after tomorrow, she would find out the news for her. ”

Haitang was a little surprised: "Why does Grandma expect Grandma to find out the news?" She herself is the order of the Zhou family, can't she go to find out by herself? ”

Ma said: "There are not only people from the Zhou clan who come during the New Year's wine, but also many relatives and friends in Chang'an City. My brother-in-law was worried that others would ask him about Mrs. Ma, so he specially asked your aunt and grandmother to complain about her illness! Speaking of this, Ma couldn't help but pout, "Coward!" He has the courage to do it, why doesn't he have the courage to tell someone? It's not his fault! The more occasions like this, the more he should be upright, otherwise others won't know anything, and they will think that he is really cruel to his stepmother! ”

When Ma Shi talked about his brother-in-law Zhou Shigong's attitude, he couldn't help but get angry. In her opinion, there is no need for Zhou Shigong to restrict his wife Zhou Ma's foreign exchanges and speeches. It is a sure thing that Mrs. Ma will not appear in public again. At this time, it is time for Zhou Ma to announce the news of Mrs. Ma's "old illness", so that the outside world can slowly accept this fact.

Anyway, Mrs. Ma is also an old person, she only had a "sick" a few years ago, and there was a scandal, it is normal for her not to appear, and since then she has lived in a simple place, and no one will talk much.

But the more cautious and sneaky Zhou Shigong is, the easier it is for people who don't know the truth to suspect him. He obviously didn't do anything wrong, why did he always put on such a weak appearance? also made his wife suspect with him!

Ma's face was angry. Haijiao listened, and he was also a little resentful, if it weren't for Zhou Shigong's weak heart, he wouldn't even be able to trust the young children of the Zhenguo Mansion, and now he was implicated in Zhou Ma's family.

Seeing this, Haitang changed the topic: "Why did the prince of the Chengenhou Mansion come to Chang'an at this time?" I corresponded with Sister Wenjun before, but I didn't hear her mention it? ”

Ma's attention was really diverted: "Don't talk about Miss Wenjun, it's Mrs. Wednesday, I didn't hear her mention it when I gave the New Year's gift a year ago." According to the eldest sister, they set out from the capital at the beginning of the month, and only after entering Shaanxi did they send people to deliver a letter to the Zhenguo Mansion, and even Chinese New Year's Eve was on the road. It sounds weird, too! Even if you really want to go back to Chang'an to visit relatives, you can't rush at this time? It seems that he is in a hurry, and he is still carrying children, and he is not afraid that they will be tired from freezing on the road. This prince and lady of the Chengenhou Mansion, why did she not succeed in doing things like this? Cheng Enhou and his wife also let her mess around? ”

The reef and the begonia glanced at each other, and they also felt strange. And Haijiao's last life to Chang'an is already next year, and I don't know if Mrs. Cheng'en Hou Shizi has also had such a show. But when I traveled in the lunar month and hurried for the New Year, I arrived in Chang'an until the seventh day of the first lunar month...... Mrs. Cheng'en Hou Shizi must have an extremely important reason to bring her children to suffer like this, right?

Haijiao whispered: "Why don't I find a few familiar friends and ask?" Maybe they know something? ”

Ma Shi waved his hand and said, "That's it, Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi is the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family." She will be in Chang'an soon, and she will always tell her in-laws and concubines if she has anything. The day after tomorrow, you will go to the Zhenguo Mansion to eat New Year's wine, and then ask Mrs. Wednesday about it. Those new friends you've made, if they're from the Zhou family, asking them is no different from asking Mrs. Wednesday; If it weren't for the Zhou family, they might not be able to know something, so why bother asking outsiders to gossip about the Zhou family. ”

Ma Shi made up his mind, and Haijiao had to dispel this idea, but he still wanted to know the truth in his heart.

Chengenhou is the sibling brother of Zhenguo Gong and the Empress Dowager of Zhou, and can be regarded as the representative of the Zhou family stationed in the capital. He did not hold a serious position in the court, and he rarely intervened in the government affairs, and was only responsible for the contact between the queen mother in the palace and outside the palace. In his previous life on the reef, he had almost no presence in the elite circle of the capital, but the Duchess of Zhenguo returned to the capital with her children and grandchildren to settle down, thanks to his running around. He's not incompetent, he's just keeping a low profile.

Such a character, for no reason, how could he let his eldest daughter-in-law take her two children to travel back to Chang'an to visit relatives in the winter? I also chose such a strange time...... I'm afraid that there is something urgent and he needs to tell Zhen Guogong before he will let his daughter-in-law and grandchildren go under the banner of "visiting relatives", right?

Counting the time that Chengenhou Shizi's mother and son will spend on the road, I am afraid that when they set off, the conspiracy that the Sun family was preparing to carry out in Chang'an, Chengenhou still knew nothing. What could have happened to make him so eager to send his daughter-in-law and granddaughters?

What happened to the Empress Dowager Zhou in the palace? Or did Emperor Deguang's attitude towards the Zhou family change again?

With such a question, Haijiao went to the Zhenguo Mansion the next day to find a few new friends.

It was on this day that Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi rushed to Chang'an City with a pair of children.

When the convoy entered the side gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, Haijiao was leading the horse, standing not far from Zhou Yijun, the eldest son of General Thursday.

It didn't take long for him to know one of the reasons for Mrs. Chengen's visit.

Du Boqin's only son, Du Qi, knelt down in front of Zhen Guogong crying, confessed to his father's crime of conspiring with the Sun family, and asked Zhen Guogong to stop his father from making a big mistake.
