The bad news that has been urgently delivered from 800 miles west of Xinjiang is good news for Qiu Yilan - Qiu Jinglan's injury has improved to the point where it will not affect the immediate battle, and the countdown to the end of the Kuang family and his son has even begun to run out. , she was devastated and was overjoyed for several days. She was even so happy that she gave an extra month's reward to all the servants in her yard.
But she wasn't happy yet. Jiang Yashuang reminded her, "You've forgotten that your brother's trip is not just for revenge." She suddenly remembered: "Are you talking about the Zhenxi Army?"
"Although brother's revenge this time is quite dangerous, the whole plan went very smoothly." Jiang Yashuang's face was not very good-looking. He rarely showed his face in front of his wife, but now it is natural that things are very difficult, "So The eldest uncle and the third uncle said in front of their grandfather that the Qiu family and the Ruan family have a very deep connection, and I am afraid that the Zhenxi Army will not be able to tame them unless we get rid of them!"
"What?!" Qiu Yilan was so angry that she almost jumped up!
Jiang Yashuang quickly held her down with quick eyes and hands, and shouted: "Keep your voice down! The people in front of my uncle revealed this to me privately - my grandfather hasn't agreed yet, but if they know that you know, I'm afraid my grandfather will be unable to dismount." At once… "
Considering Qiu Jinglan's personality, if he knew that Jiang Tianyao and Jiang Tianqi suggested killing him, would he not take revenge? At that time, for the safety of his nephew and son, Qin Guogong had no choice but to kill him first!
"I'm afraid the reason why Nineteen knows this news is because Jiang Tianao failed to persuade Qin Guogong and deliberately revealed it to him, then let me know, and then let my brother know, so as to force Qin Guogong to take action?!" Qiu Yilan thought for a moment? I understood, and the shock and anger in my heart were hard to describe. Shenran asked: "Then what are you going to do? You also said before that my brother is in charge of the West Army, which is the most beneficial to the fourth house and us! The uncle and the third uncle I said this to my grandfather just to prevent our fourth family from getting too powerful!"
Isn't it just provocation? Who wouldn’t
Although he knew that since Jiang Yashuang was willing to tell him the news about Jiang Tian'ao brother's proposal to kill Qiu Jinglan, he must be very dissatisfied with the two uncles in his heart. But Qiu Yilan didn't mind adding a few more twists to their uncle-nephew relationship, and said with a sneer, "In the past few years, everyone has stared at our fourth bedroom with red eyes! In and out of words, they all felt that the fourth bedroom was occupied. The biggest advantage is that the Zhenbei Army was taken over! I think these people deserve it! Even though our father is the great general of Zhenbei, he has endured so many hardships and endured so many hardships. Go here, you have the qualifications and prestige of guarding the frontier for decades to get to that position!"
"Not to mention the pain of separation of our four families over the years. It's been a whole year since I came here and I haven't even paid a visit to Weng Gu. Among the nephews and nieces under Bage's knees, which one has seen his grandparents? ! It’s you, Brother Bage, Brother Sixteen, and your brothers and sisters Ninth Sister and Eighteenth Sister. Who still remembers the appearance of your father and mother? Maybe Bage Brother remembers it a bit, but it’s all blurry, right?”
Qiu Yilan gritted her teeth and said, "There is no such thing as a pie in the world! Those people have a good idea. When they need to endure hardship, they stay in the capital and enjoy the blessings! When they want benefits, they just stare at other people's hands. Inside! We owe them our last eight lifetimes!”
"These fathers and mothers know what they are doing!" Jiang Yashuang shook her head and signaled to her wife to calm down, "Grandpa is old, and the uncles are at odds with each other, so it is inevitable that they have their own thoughts! In our room, although there is a Zhenbei Army In hand, but also at a disadvantage because his father is in charge of the Zhenbei Army, he is not in Beijing, and his mother has to accompany his father - Brother Bah has never cared about these things, and Brother Sixteen is not important enough in front of his grandfather. Now we can only You two should worry more!"
Seeing that he was calm, Qiu Yilan calmed down and said, "In that case, I want to go to Xue's house to visit Mrs. Sun tomorrow. Can you speak to my grandmother for me and ask her to allow me to go out?"
Do Jiang Tianmastiff and Jiang Tianqi really think that after the Jiang family helped Qiu Jinglan, they could decide his life or death at will? ! My brother's biggest supporter has never been the Jiang family, but the Prime Minister Xue Chang!
Regardless of the fact that Xue Chang has no soldiers, it can be seen from the selection of the East Palace team that even if the Queen's Party has the upper hand, they will not dare to cross the river with Xue Chang! Xue Chang's grandson Xue Nongying, who had high hopes for Xue Chang, was seriously injured two years ago and is still recovering from his injuries. Before his injury, Xue Nongying's reputation was only that of a scholar. After he recovered from his injury, he had to pass the autumn examination, spring examination, and palace examination. Officially appointed!
This means that even if Xue Chang is in good health, he will not be able to protect his grandson for a few years after he officially joins the officialdom. So if he wants to pave the way for his grandson, in addition to finding a good father-in-law for Xue Nongying, he also needs to cultivate more disciples so that his disciples can support Xue Nongying after his birthday!
And besides Qiu Jinglan, who else could Xue Chang's most proud disciple be
Whoever dares to touch Qiu Jinglan, even brother Jiang Tianao, Xue Chang will never give up!
"I'm afraid that the reason Duke Qin rejected this nephew's proposal was because he considered Xue Chang!" Qiu Yilan gritted her teeth in her heart and decided to clear up her dowry and improve the favorability of the Xue family!
Jiang Yashuang agreed with her method of using Xue Chang to put pressure and keep Qiu Jinglan peaceful: "If you don't tell me, I have to remind you that in order to paralyze the Queen Mother Gu, we had no contact with her. Now there is no need to consider the Queen Mother's thoughts. , it’s really time for you to take action with the Xue family on behalf of your brother!”
He also reminded implicitly, "After all, my brother is still unmarried, so he can only rely on you to mediate the interactions between the female family members."
"Xue Nongqing hasn't agreed to anyone yet... Although Xue Fangmi made such a fuss back then and messed up things. But now that times have changed, it doesn't matter if we really want to get married." Qiu Yilan heard what her husband meant and pondered. , "And Xue Nongqing is very favored by her parents and brothers. If her brother marries her, he will not be afraid that the Xue family will not be able to contribute... From the family background, it is indeed good. The problem is that Xue Nongqing is too kind-hearted and has a good temper!"
Even with the full support of the fourth brother of the Jiang family and Xue Chang, Qiu Jinglan faced great pressure and a dangerous situation in the battle for the Zhenxi Army. Girls like Xue Nongqing, who are kind and tolerant, are not suitable for such intrigues at all.
Jiang Yashuang didn't see it that way. He said, "If you think about my brother's character, if our future sister-in-law thinks too deeply, I'm afraid my brother will be even more worried, right?"
Qiu Jinglan is indeed suspicious... After all, she grew up in "Tianya". An organization that deals in human lives doesn't have a lot of savvy. Even if it initially had the backing of Xihe Palace, it would have been destroyed long ago. If you think about it this way, Qiu Jinglan's wife really can't be too smart, otherwise even if she is the person beside her, she will inevitably make Qiu Jinglan uneasy.
"But it's not that Xue Nongqing is smart or not at all, it's because she is too tolerant. Brother, he doesn't say that revenge must be retaliated, but it's not like he doesn't fight back when he's offended - unless there are greater benefits to not fighting back - with a good child like Xue Nongqing who repays evil with kindness, Can we talk about it together..."
Based on Qiu Yilan's understanding of his brother, he is definitely not the kind of person who will be moved by a pure and flawless heart and kind and beautiful character, and then start a true love. He will only be glad that there are no such stupid sisters in his family, no As for pissing him off to death... well...
"So Xue Nongqing's chances of matching with her brother are not as good as Ou Qinglan's!"
Qiu Yilan frowned for a while and said, "Let my brother make the decision on this matter. I'll walk around with the Xue family first."
After all, she was the one who saved Xue Nongying. Even if Qiu Jinglan didn't marry Xue Nongying, the Xue family would not refuse her visit.
Sure enough, she sent someone to Xue Mansion to submit a message the next day. When she came to visit on the third day, Mrs. Xue Sun personally brought her daughter to the door and said with great enthusiasm: "I am thinking of you. I heard that the Jiang family is busy these days, so I didn't dare to come. Excuse me—I originally wanted to call Qing’er to say hello to you after the Chinese New Year!”
"Madam is so polite, I don't even dare to come!" Qiu Yilan came here to gain favor, so naturally she didn't want to let Mrs. I have a close relationship with Nong Qing, but I cannot bear to be treated like this!"
The Xue Sun family only has a son, Xue Nongying, and naturally looks at her son's savior horizontally and vertically as cute and pleasing to the eye. Now when Qiu Yilan said this, her smile became even deeper: "If the princess said that, then I won't be polite... For many days See, the princess is even more beautiful than before, and our garden has really become more glorious!"
Qiu Yilan was very satisfied that she called her "Princess" instead of the young lady of the Jiang family. This showed that in the eyes of the Xue family, she was Qiu Jinglan's younger sister, and above all the legitimate grandson-in-law of the Jiang family.
Of course, it is also possible that the Xue family was afraid that they would suddenly come to visit to do something for the Jiang family. They used this title to imply: Your brother is a master and apprentice with the head of our family. Don't help your husband's family to cheat your brother's master. !
The two parties entered the house while greeting each other. After hearing the news, Xue Nongying came over to say thank you - he had been in a coma after being injured, and when he woke up, he had returned to Xue's house. At that time, Xue Chang's relationship with the Queen's Party and Qiu Jinglan were all secrets, so naturally he could not I personally thanked Qiu Yilan for saving my life, but this time I came to make up for it.
Qiu Yilan naturally refused to accept his generous gift. After pushing for a while, she reluctantly accepted the salute and returned the courtesy as a commoner. After this set of etiquette was over, she asked about Xue Nongying's health. When talking about this smiling Xue Sun, she was a bit sincere: "It's completely healed, but I'm just a son, so I can't help pampering him, so I let him continue to be raised... He's still young and not in a hurry about the imperial examination or anything like that. ”
… After having lunch at Xue’s house, Xue Nongqing volunteered to take Qiu Yilan to visit the park and revealed: “Brother seems to be acting as usual, but his energy was too much reduced before, and now he is not tired at all! I thought everything was fine, so I started studying, but it turned out After reading it for two days, I felt dizzy and frightened everyone in the house! Now I can only continue to rest!”
"Then you need to take good care of your body!" Qiu Yilan said with concern, "But don't worry too much. After all, your brother is young, and he will definitely be fine after a few days!" She was actually a little happy in her heart: Xue Nongying will get better later. , Xue Chang's political cultivation can only be concentrated on Qiu Jinglan, which is of course very beneficial to Qiu Jinglan.
After comforting Xue Nongqing for a while and walking around in the garden with her for a while, Qiu Yilan saw that it was getting late. Although she was eager to interact with the Xue family now, this was her first visit to the Xue family and she couldn't stay forever. He wanted to go, so he declined Xue Sun's offer to stay and insisted on saying goodbye.
Of course, before leaving, she didn't forget to invite Xue Nongqing to play with her when she had time: "I used to have things at home, but now I'm busy and have a lot of leisure time. I really hope more sisters can go around!" Qingfeng's account was actually I haven't finished sorting it out, but since the Queen's Party has the upper hand, I'm not in a hurry to read the remaining account books. Anyway, if I haven't had time to sort them out, I can falsify them!
He Shuijin's false accounting skills, coupled with the Queen Mother's party's personal and material evidence... are enough to completely deceive the Queen Mother's party at the right time!
Considering that there are no girls of the same generation in the Jiang family who have not left the court, and fearing that Xue Nongqing would be embarrassed to go, Qiu Yilan also mentioned that Zhuang Man and Xin Fuling often played at her place, suggesting that Xue Nongqing could go with them, so that she would not Embarrassed.
After this visit, on the way back to the Duke's Mansion, Qiu Yilan thought to herself: "Although I didn't mention my brother a word, I think with Xue Xiang's wisdom, he must have guessed that my sudden enthusiasm for the Xue family must be from my brother's side. There is trouble that requires his intervention... Jiang Tianyao, Jiang Tianqi, hey! "
