The two brothers of the Cheng family relied on talking to each other at home to relieve time, and Cheng Xiaosi, who entered the palace, suddenly found that he didn't have the discomfort of coming back a few days earlier, and he was actually in a good mood, and he felt okay after waiting for a small half pillar of incense at the gate of the queen's palace.

Seeing the queen, she was even more enthusiastic than before, "I heard that Niangniang had a headache a few days ago, but is she better?" ”

"It's much better, it's just an old problem, it's not a big deal."

The queen looked at Cheng Xiaosi's gaze with a little complicated, but her face was still dignified and decent.

"Even if you say that, you still have to be very careful, everything recovers in the spring, and there are more illnesses, but fortunately, the mother is deeply blessed, and she will be able to avoid all diseases."

God, she actually said this kind of scene, I admire myself so much, she has a long ability.

Seeing her smiling today, the queen smiled and said: "This palace is happy to see you, but there is a happy event?" ”

Cheng Xiaosi smiled even more happily, "It's strange to say, I was very excited as soon as I arrived at the gate of Niangniang's palace, I don't know what the reason is, I was very happy, and I was even happier when I saw Niangniang." ”

"Mother, am I too rude?"

The queen thought it was interesting, "What you say is so fresh, and you can still be happy as soon as you come?" ”

"No, I don't know what I'm happy about, maybe it's the blessing of my mother, and I feel happy inexplicably."

Seeing that her happiness didn't seem to be fake, the queen was also a little satisfied, there was no way, she also tried to win over the Cheng family earlier, but the Cheng family was good but unwilling to reciprocate, so she was naturally unhappy.

"I haven't seen you in the past few days, what are you busy with?"

Cheng Xiaosi said with a smile: "My sister got married, and I learned to be a housekeeper at home, although I may not need it in the future, but my mother said that the girl's family should be able to, but unfortunately I am very stupid, and I can't learn well." ”

The queen also laughed, "You girl is lazy, I look very smart." ”

"I can't help it, I want to sleep when I see those ledgers."

"Well, it can be seen that you are still lazy, but it doesn't matter, you are a blessed person, you will not have a hard life in the future, you can't study and don't care, your family has been busy recently?"

The queen didn't give up, she still wanted to test the attitude of the Cheng family.

Cheng Xiaosi nodded, "I've always been very busy, either busy doing business or busy taking inventory of the housekeeper, and my grandmother can only rest because of her age, thinking of my father, then there is no time to rest." ”

"I said that I have been busy with business recently, and the dart game at home is also busy, even if I can only see people at night."

The queen took a sip of the teacup and said: "Shunyi Bo has presented a new trade route, this is a great achievement, the emperor also attaches great importance to this trade route, I heard that there are people in the court and China who want to follow this caravan to set off?" ”

Cheng Xiaosi said that he didn't know very well, "But my father is very talkative, and he is also looking forward to the good court and the emperor, and he will agree if everyone wants to follow." ”

The queen said this, that is, the prince also wanted to intervene, Cheng Xiaosi pretended not to know, and continued to smile and talk to the queen, basically she answered whatever the queen asked, and there were more words than before, and the queen's attitude was also a little better.

Seeing that Cheng Xiaosi looked careless and annoyed, I saw her carefully pick up the small box brought by Huahua, "When I saw my mother, I only cared about joy and forgot about it." ”

"This is what my grandmother asked me to bring to my mother, it is a pair of bracelets, my father got it by chance, it is said to be from overseas, this material is very magical, not only translucent, there are golden filaments inside, it is extremely dazzling in the sun, my grandmother thinks that such an object can only be worn by the queen mother, so I specially asked me to bring it."

She's seen it, it's a golden hair crystal, but isn't it rare now, as long as it's a rare thing, it's a noble thing.

The queen took it and took a closer look, and sure enough, she felt special, especially the color was very noble, "I have a heart, thank you grandmother for me." ”

"It's good if my mother likes it, Mama Fang came to the house to teach our sisters a few rules, so that we don't lose our rudeness, my grandmother is extremely satisfied and at the same time I am very grateful for my mother's kindness."

The queen liked to hear this, "If you want to say that your rules are indeed much better than when you first came, it can be seen that Mama Fang taught her with her heart." ”

The queen once again looked at Cheng Xiaosi and felt pleasing to the eye, and felt that she might have been in a hurry if she didn't succeed before, and she only needed to take it step by step now.

At the same time, Lord Fang was inquiring about Cheng Daqi's situation, and the person who was serving beside him was also an old man who had followed him for many years, and he remembered it more clearly than him, "My lord, this Shunyi Uncle is the Cheng Daqi who was imprisoned by you back then, and everyone in the capital knows that he can't be wrong." ”

Lord Fang's face was solemn, and he put the person on the right thing, "He was yin." ”

In the evening, Lord Fang found Yuan Pei, and he didn't dare to tell a lie in the face of Yuan Pei, "I saw him at the gate of the palace on the day I first arrived in Beijing, and I felt familiar, and then I saw him again, but I couldn't remember where I saw him, until I heard the emperor call him Daqi, and I remembered it all of a sudden." ”

"One of these two brothers is called Daqi and the other is Daqian, and it is not easy to forget when you hear it."

He guessed that the rumors and gambling markets in the capital were all written by the Cheng brothers.

"That little thing back then"

He was embarrassed to say it too clearly, but Yuan Pei understood, and used his power to oppress people to make the Cheng family brothers suffer a big loss, and he also put people in prison, but he didn't expect that people would have a chance later.

"Do you think that the Cheng family did all the things outside?"

Lord Fang nodded, he really couldn't think of anyone else he had offended, but he wasn't sure that there were many merchants who had been bullied by him over the years, and it wasn't necessarily that no one had secretly attacked.

But Cheng Daqi is the most suspicious.

Yuan Pei told him that it was impossible, "The Cheng family brothers have always been cautious in Beijing, and they are kind to whoever they are, even if they recognize you, they should not rashly retaliate, they will take into account the gains and losses of the entire Cheng family." “

said this, but in his heart, he had already decided that it was the two Cheng Daqi brothers who did it, but even so, he would still find a way to dispel Lord Fang's doubts, after all, he didn't want to offend anyone.

"Businessmen always put profit first, what benefit can you get by taking revenge at this time?"

"They don't have much foundation in the capital, so they won't take this risk, and in my opinion, even if they recognize you, they will only pretend that they can't remember."

Being fooled by him for a while, Lord Fang was suspicious, and felt that this place in the capital was against him, and he still had to go back after finishing the things in hand as soon as possible.

As soon as he walked on the front foot, Yuan Pei told Yuan Su about it, "In my opinion, it was really your old father-in-law who did it, and the Cheng family is capable of doing such a thing." ”

Yuan Su also thought so, "The Fang family is no longer good." ”

That's the conclusion he came to draw.
