Yingshu's last "trip" on her way home today is Chilou.

Wang Jie didn't expect her to come. He looked at her for a while, with a smile flowing in his eyes: "Knowing that you are coming back today, my third uncle has been dancing and dancing since yesterday. It is rare for him to be scolded by his grandmother for saying that he Unsteady, I see that the third aunt’s eyes are also red, but the fifth sister is about to go back to the palace, and looking at her now, she doesn’t seem to be reluctant to leave.”

"The corners of my eyes are also sore, but if I show my reluctance, it will definitely make my father and mother more worried. I am actually doing well in the palace. I am not as miserable as my two elders. It's not as boring and restrictive as I thought at first." Yingshu looked at the plan in front of Wang Jie. There was a chessboard with the famous endgame on it, and she knew that there was no one to play with her elder brother. , the eldest brother is still so self-restrained and restrained, and is very friendly to all his siblings, but he never wants to have fun with his brothers, and maintains the serious and dignified demeanor of the eldest brother.

Wang Jie said: "But the fifth sister entered the palace reluctantly when she was young."

"At that time, I only thought that my grandfather wanted to hide his power and bide his time. Although Mrs. Xie never restrained me, she never dared to offend Mrs. He and Mrs. Zheng. But it is different now. With Uncle's will, I am a little more unrestrained, and I know it’s okay for the family.”

Wang Jie began to put the chess pieces into the chessboard one by one. He seemed to have smacked Yingshu's words before saying: "Fifth sister is courageous, that's why I can be your majesty's adviser. My grandfather and I occasionally mentioned the number of fifth sisters in the palace." I highly appreciate what I did, but the third uncle and my aunt are still annoyed with me. It was yesterday, when I heard that the fifth sister was going home to visit relatives, that the third uncle was finally willing to talk to me."

"Brother, I will definitely not really think that my father and mother have any complaints against you."

"Actually, you should blame me." Wang Jie stopped his movements and put his hands on his knees: "Why did Fifth Sister come today?"

"I miss you brother very much too. This is truly true." Yingshu smiled. When she finally saw Wang Jie also curling up her lips, she got to the point: "There is another thing. I really feel that I was confused, so I had to come to see my brother to clarify my doubts. I wonder if my brother sent a letter to Mr. Xinsu and asked Mr. Xinsu to give him a Mid-Autumn gift?"

Yingshu was thinking a lot. She really couldn't figure out why His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, who was always very unfriendly to her, suddenly gave her a Mid-Autumn Festival gift. That guy was completing the first major undertaking in his life, fighting to the death with the army of Northern Zhao. , sending someone all the way to give her a golden dagger, this behavior is really shocking.

Wang Jie was also shocked: "How could I send a letter to distract Lord Xinsu at such a critical moment? When Lord Xinsu went on an expedition, I just sent it from afar, and there was no more correspondence at all."

Yingshu:......

Yes, with the style of the elder brother, how could it be possible for Xiansu-kun to do such an inexplicable thing? But that guy Sikong Yuehu looks handsome and elegant, and seems to have a somewhat unrestrained style, but in fact he rarely interacts with others. She has always been cautious and self-restraint when talking to each other, and she is too lazy to interact with the children of the family. Even for Nanci, a brother, there always seems to be a looming barrier, and the only "tie" between Sikong Yuehu and her now is... There is only the eldest brother. If it weren't for the eldest brother's support, would Sikong Yuehu take care of her in the inner court? Yingshu could only guess that Sikong Yuehu gave her a Mid-Autumn Festival gift that was barely "inspirational" because of her eldest brother's request.

After failing to solve the problem, Yingshu had no clue. She thought that she could only wait until the guy returned in triumph and ask him face to face which tendon in his brain had the wrong pulse.

"Why don't I talk to my eldest brother for a round?" Yingshu suggested.

Wang Jie looked at the corridor on one side.

Shi Cheng has already come this way.

Yingshu also saw it and sighed: "It's time for me to return to the palace."

In order to secretly meet Shi Concubine, Shi Cheng had been invited to stay in Chilou for two days, but he did not even tell his family. He was just invited by a friend to meet for three or two days. He had not officially entered the official position, and at this time he was It is a period of accumulating reputation, and the elders will naturally not restrict his interactions with the children of the family - even if the Shi family has privately sided with Jiang Donghe, they will not ask the children to sever ties with other families - as long as they are involved When you join a family that competes for power, most parents will generally think that no matter which camp the children of the family interact with, it is mostly for social entertainment, and when the stakes are at stake, they will always turn to the family. Indeed, for thousands of years, no matter how noble or humble, Family values ​​are very important. Even if there is a feud, if the head of the family gives an order, the target of the attack will be directed at the foreign enemy first.

If Shi Cheng hadn't "borrowed" the Wang family's mansion to see Shi Concubine secretly, there would be no need to hide her whereabouts.

Since they had already met, Yingshu had no intention of avoiding it, but before she could salute, she received a big gift from Shi Cheng. Yingshu thought that this gift was because she was grateful for her help in lifting Shi's confinement, so she didn't think much about it and still After the ceremony, she went to "rendezvous" with Concubine Shi, but this feeling was quite subtle. In her previous life, she had seen many memorials by Governor Shi, but she had never seen him in person.

Wang Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, watched Ying Shu walk to the corner of the corridor, and then asked: "Yu Feng has seen my sister-in-law before?"

Shi Cheng was startled when he was asked, but he seemed not to have expected Wang Jie to ask such a question, but he still replied: "This year's Qushui meeting, I have witnessed the grace of Wang Nv Shi from afar."

Wang Jie invited Shi Cheng into the tea room, poured two cups of herbal tea that was in season at the beginning of autumn, held them in his hand, and then got down to the topic.

"Yu Fengguan is close to Xie Julang, but he has never interacted with Jiang Donghe's children. At this moment, his attitude suddenly changed. For one thing, Yufeng Guan may not be able to get along with those dandies of the He family. On the other hand, Duke He may also Be suspicious."

Wang Jie doesn't need to ask any more questions, he is sure that Shi Cheng will accept your Majesty's secret order.

Shi Cheng was not surprised that Wang Jie knew this secret order. Although he had just received the order and had not yet sorted out the specific plan, he did have a plan in mind: "When I first heard that my sister was convicted and detained in the inner court, , I knew that the elders in the family and even my mother complained very much about Sister Xie accusing Mrs. He. They were only eager to seek Hemen's forgiveness and no one cared about Sister Xie's safety. So I had no choice but to plead with Xie Julang, hoping that he could persuade Mrs. Xie to help. , to plead grievances for my sister.

My behavior in this way angered my grandfather, and my mother begged me in tears, saying that I should focus on my economic and career career. There was a cousin from my mother's family, Jilai and I were relatively friendly, and my mother asked him to advise me to 'turn around and be safe' My cousin's first wife was born in Jiangdonghe. Although she is not the legitimate daughter of the family, her brother is still respected by the family. I also promised my mother not to act willfully, so my grandfather did not detain me at home. , I thought it wouldn’t be strange if I met his wife’s uncle through my cousin. "

Wang Jie listened and nodded: "It is indeed feasible. I have collected some personnel information of various clans and branches in the Jiangdong He clan here, which can be used by Yufeng as a consultant to act according to the situation. If there is an emergency, Yufeng can also make trustworthy servants." , to deliver a letter to Bao Yanzhai in Dashi, which is the property of my third uncle, and the shopkeeper is a trustworthy person."

Shi Cheng himself was actually a regular customer of Baoyanzhai, but he didn't know that it was Wangdao's property.

Although there are actually many examples of the current gentry class doing business as a side job, Wang Dao looks like a romantic outsider. How could he follow those bad habits of "using business to support luxury"?

"My third uncle hates power struggles and can't stand the strife in the officialdom, but he also believes that as a man's husband, he can't be mediocre. Surprisingly, because he has a wide range of friends, he has actually learned some secrets of doing business, and he has contributed a lot these years. A lot of money for the military.”

"No wonder." Shi Cheng said two words, but he seemed to have woken up and said nothing more.

His mood today was really fluctuating, and he neglected his words and deeds without paying attention, and he couldn't explain why. Although Wang Jie treated him politely, he was quite awe-inspiring for this young man who was only three years older than him. , I always felt that those cold and calm eyes could not be seen through by others, but they could see through many things in the world. Shi Cheng then apologized and said that although he would have to bother him for a day, he had to sort out his strategy, so he returned to Chilou and was temporarily surrounded by him. Occupied guest house.

He was still a child when his elder sister entered the palace, but he always remembered that it was actually his elder sister who initiated him. At that time, his mother was worried that his father and ancestors were too strict and could not bear the pain of his father's supervision at a young age. For formal enlightenment, Ajie first taught him how to read and draw calligraphy. Ajie was indeed gentle, patient and meticulous. His attachment to Ajie was stronger than his attachment to his mother.

My sister left home and entered the palace. Looking back before getting in the car, he had tears in his eyes and could not remember her expression at that time.

Once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea and you will never see it again.

That was the previous life.

All he knew was that his sister had become the sinner who murdered the fifth princess and had been grounded. After the emperor died, his sister moved to the palace and died of illness not long after. In his previous life, he was powerless to do anything and could only forget in repentance. Some things, the living can only look forward. There are too many sufferings in the world in his eyes. Those people who seem to be struggling to survive, the innocent people who work hard to live but are bullied and trampled by the hegemons, are exposed again and again. The families of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country in the war could not even ask for their remains. In front of the tomb, only relatives sang mournful evocation songs, hoping that their deceased relatives would not get lost on the way home.

It seems that as long as the soul comes and goes and dreams, the mind will feel at ease.

The emperors of Dongyu always seemed to have bad luck. Later, the burden of the country actually fell on the shoulders of women.

The Queen Mother's reign was not long, but a new period of reform and restructuring began. The country that had been on the verge of destruction seemed to have gained new vitality. The Queen Mother attached great importance to business, especially encouraged civilians to do business, provided protection and preferential treatment, and formulated major policies. The minimum salary for business employees is strictly prohibited, and the exploitation of people's power is strictly prohibited. The word "no wonder" he blurted out just now actually stems from this.

When he was a state official, he once received a merchant. The merchant used to be a small vendor. He worked harder than the farmers, and the profit he earned could only make a living for the whole family. Because he enjoyed the benefits of the New Deal, he was able to work hard. The opportunity presented itself to a businessman. The businessman said that he had not only settled down his property, settled his parents, wife, and children, but also had enough money to support many poor, old, and weak people. He never dreamed that he would be able to survive in troubled times during his lifetime. to live and work in peace and contentment.

That night, after being half drunk, Shi Cheng headed towards Jiankang City and paid homage to the Queen Mother, whom he had never seen before. He really hoped that this woman could stay in power for a long time and try to reverse the decline that the country was facing, even if Just a little peace of mind can at least save thousands of people from disaster.

At this time, many things have deviated from the trajectory of his previous life. For example, he was able to obtain His Majesty's secret order before he became an official. For example, his sister, he finally knew what she went through after entering the palace. .

The Jiangdonghe clan is not only his Shicheng enemy, but also the giant beetle of Dongyu, which must be eradicated as soon as possible!
