In the face of such important events as Qiu Jinglan being recalled to the court, Fan Sujie and Jiang Huizhu's engagement was of no importance - Qiu Yilan immediately rushed to Mrs. Zhuang to "fulfill her filial piety" and tried to find out some of her father-in-law's thoughts from her mother-in-law. . However, Mrs. Zhuang seemed to have made an appointment with her husband a long time ago. Although she looked pleasant, every time Qiu Yilan brought the topic to Xijiang, she would immediately talk about other things.
Qiu Yilan was helpless and was about to talk about it, but at this time Chu Yitong came with Jiang Huibao and said with a smile: "Yesterday, my daughter-in-law made an embroidery, but there were a few parts that she couldn't embroider well. Mother slaps my daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Zhuang immediately said: "Bring it to me and have a look. My own embroidery is not very good. I have been looking at other people's embroidery for many years, but my eyesight is not bad!"
Chu Yitong smiled and said, "What else can I say about mother's eyesight?" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are determined to divert the conversation to embroidery. How can Qiu Yilan alone save it? Especially with Chu Yitong around, it was inconvenient to talk. Qiu Yilan spent the whole afternoon with them, and when they were about to have dinner, she was thinking about the twins, so she had to leave in frustration.
Although Jiang Yashuang was on a business trip that day, he also inquired about the situation and told his wife in the evening: "Brother will be fine for the time being when he returns to Beijing this time. After all, the Zhenxi Army has just won a great victory, and the army has just been purged by his brother. There are no confidants." "Young Master, if my brother fails to return to Beijing at this time, it will be difficult to avoid riots."
The most important thing is, "Mr. Ren has never appeared on the list of merit reports. The reason for calling my brother and others back this time is to report their merits. If Mr. Ren is not included, I am afraid he will not come back."
"Although Mr. Ren has outstanding intelligence and scheming, he has no serious status, sir?" Qiu Yilan was relieved when she heard that Ren Ziyong might stay in Shazhou. This is Qiu Jinglan's most loyal supporter - Qiu Jinglan After entering the Zhenxi Army, Ren Ziyong took the title of a clerk and worked hard for Qiu Jinglan to seize power and defeat the enemy but refused to take credit. Obviously to guard against this situation - thinking that this master had already figured something out. After getting ready, Qiu Yilan felt a little relieved, but she was also worried about missing out, "If my brother is detained after entering the capital, and the DPRK sends another general to Western Xinjiang, Mr. Ren may be able to match him at first, but it will be difficult for him to do so in the long run." speak!"
Jiang Yashuang frowned for a long time and sighed: "Let's talk about it then!"
She was also helpless - Qiu Yilan pulled up the quilt angrily: "It's all me who's holding my brother back!"
"Even without you in the capital, how could my brother openly disobey the imperial order?" Jiang Yashuang patted her shoulder and said warmly, "Don't forget that the baggage of the Zhenxi Army has not been enough since it was burned once. !”
Qiu Yilan was sullen and silent - there was no baggage and the army was in chaos without attacking, so what else could they threaten the court with
This night was extremely dull. Qiu Yilan kept thinking about the bad days in the future and she didn't know how long they would last. She felt more and more depressed staying in Beijing - she didn't sleep all night!
The next day was not the day to pay respects to Mrs. Zhuang. The mother-in-law had now made it clear that she was tight-lipped and Chu Yitong deliberately disrupted the situation. Qiu Yilan was too lazy to waste any more time and simply slept until noon before getting up lazily.
Finally, she got up and was dressing up when Shen Shui hurriedly came in and reported: "Young master, I have asked myself to be an official at the court meeting today!"
"Going to the official position?" Everyone in the room was very surprised. Qiu Yilan pushed away Su He's hand that was holding a hairpin on the cross bun that she had just made, and turned around and asked, "What is going on? Someone is impeaching him. Is the matter still?"
"I don't even know! I heard what the front doorman said. The master was very angry. As soon as the court was dismissed, he called the master to the study!" Shen Shui said anxiously, "I heard that the master looked very ugly when he came back... Young Madam, do you want to invite the Eighth Young Master?"
Now everyone in the Duke's palace knows that Jiang Tianchi loves his eldest son far more than his youngest son.
Qiu Yilan held the hosta in her hands and remained silent. After a long while, she said coldly: "No need for now! Let's wait until there is any news from the study!"
Since Jiang Tianchi was determined to abolish the young and establish the young, how could he let go of such a great opportunity? Inviting Jiang Yadan over was just to give Jiang Yadan a reputation as a "friendly brother". Qiu Yilan didn't believe that Jiang Tianchi would let the younger son go because of the eldest son's plea!
"This life is really unbearable!" Qiu Yilan slapped the hosta on the dressing table and said thoughtfully for a moment, "Go and find out if the eighth sister-in-law on my mother's side is here? If not, tell me!"
He ordered her to continue dressing her up.
She finished dressing and then used something. Mulan came to report: "The Eighth Young Master was at Madam's place in the morning. She had lunch with Madam and then left. Now Madam's place is vacant."
Qiu Yilan nodded and pushed the bowl: "Pack it up. Hibiscus and Mulian will follow me to my mother's place."
As soon as she arrived in the room where Mrs. Zhuang was, Mrs. Zhuang waved her hand and said with a frown, "I was about to send someone to call you. This kid, Nineteen..."
"Mom, little nineteen and little twenty haven't been doing well these past two days. My wife is really worried!" Qiu Yilan interrupted her mother-in-law rudely, frowning, and her eyes suddenly turned red. "Originally, when my wife was pregnant with these two children, she made them suffer a lot! I didn't expect that they would be born prematurely. Now I see that they are much smaller than the ordinary three-month-old children. My wife's heart is really..."
Mrs. Zhuang had no choice but to comfort her first: "What do you want so much for? The children are small, won't they grow up if they are fed slowly? Besides, the twins are also smaller than ordinary babies." Giving an example casually, "I will I remember when babies were born at 18 or 19, they were usually smaller than Xiaoba when they were born at full term!”
Who would have thought that Qiu Yilan was waiting for these words and immediately said: "Speaking of this, mother, back then you sent Sister Eighteen and Nineteen back to Beijing because of the bitter cold in northern Xinjiang. Now Sister and Nineteen are in good health. "What?" The topic changed, "So, my wife is thinking, is it difficult for Xiao Jiu and Xiao Twenty to live in Beijing? My daughter-in-law wants to take them to live in the south for a while. Is it possible for the unknown mother to do so?"
"What do you two mean?" Mrs. Zhuang's face darkened when she heard this, "A nineteen-year-old, you are making trouble to become an official over some trivial matter, and you still bring it up in the court! You can't bear the slightest grievance! You "What's wrong with the little kid? He's been well cared for for three months now. If something happens to him all of a sudden, he's going to the south. I wonder if you'll regret it!"
Qiu Yilan listened and said, "How many days will you stay in Gyeonggi Province?"
"..." Mrs. Zhuang frowned and looked at her for a while, "Don't do this with me - look over there at Nineteen!"
"Your father promised Shijiu to rest for a few days, and I will also let your family live in Zhuangzi, Gyeonggi Province for a while!"
"Otherwise, just stay here and be a good boy! Tell me what's going on here - I know what you're getting into. Isn't it just that you're worried about your natal brother? What's wrong with calling him back to show off his merits? I'm thinking of you and your wife. Face, why are you afraid that your father will treat him badly? You don’t believe your father even after hearing such nonsense!”
Qiu Yilan thought to herself that I was weird for trusting this father-in-law, and she said aggrievedly: "Mom, what are you talking about? How dare your daughter-in-law doubt her father? She is really worried about the child!"
"If you are really worried about your child, then raise it well and take care of it. Don't worry about going here and there all day long!" Mrs. Zhuang said angrily, "If you are really worried, then send me here and I will take care of it for you?! "
"Don't dare to disturb mother!" Qiu Yilan refused to agree. Even though Mrs. Zhuang had no ill intentions towards her grandson, she already had Jiang Jingkun under her knees, who was clearly more valued. How much attention could she give to the twins? force? If something happened accidentally, could they, as their son and daughter-in-law, ask Mrs. Zhuang to compensate for their son's life
... After returning to their own courtyard, Mu Jin and Mulian cautiously advised: "Madam was also worried about the two young masters, so she stopped the young madam from leaving the capital!"
"You guys go down first, I want to think about it carefully." Qiu Yilan waved her hand calmly.
After Mu Jin and Mu Lian retreated, she sat alone for a while, turning the bracelet while thinking, and unconsciously fell asleep leaning on the couch.
When Jiang Yashuang woke me up, dusk was approaching.
"You just came back from your father's place?" Qiu Yilan sat up while rubbing her eyes, took a sip of the tea he handed over to refresh herself, and asked in a low voice, "What did your father say? What about you becoming an official?"
"Didn't you also go to your mother's place to propose leaving Beijing?" Jiang Yashuang smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes, "Let's eat first, it's getting late."
Both of them were preoccupied and had a very boring time. After having a meal, they took a shower and changed clothes, then returned to the inner room and got on the couch. Only then did Qiu Yilan lean on her husband's shoulder and whispered: "Logically, neither father nor mother should reject us." Leave Beijing now!”
Now everyone outside is sure that Jiang Yashuang has fallen out of favor and Jiang Yadan is the most valuable. If they are sent away from the capital at this time, the rumors will become more and more solid. They can just use this limelight to weaken Jiang Yashuang's momentum and build momentum for Jiang Yadan.
After all, Jiang Tianchi has not yet ascended the throne, and the current Ninth Five Supreme Being is still the young Chu Shao.
Once an emperor and a courtier, who knows who a nobleman today will be tomorrow? If there is no title or honor today, maybe there will be a chance tomorrow? If we don't use this shareholder's style to establish Jiang Yadan's throne as the heir apparent, when the new dynasty is established and rewards are determined, if we try to establish this unsatisfactory eldest son... we will face huge resistance!
Who would be willing to hand over the world that they worked so hard to gain to a prodigal son in the end
Especially the founding heroes of the new dynasty, who had finally earned a glorious family fortune for their descendants, and could relax and enjoy it, but if they were asked to provide them with a prince who had accomplished nothing except eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, who would agree? ? It was just that they had no choice but to hold their noses and accept this opportunity before the reward was determined!
But now Jiang Yadan and his wife are refusing to allow their youngest son and his wife to leave Beijing, which is puzzling.
"If you feel guilty about Nineteen and don't want him to leave, that's possible - but can you be vague about such a big thing?" Qiu Yilan felt that she really couldn't understand what her father-in-law and mother-in-law meant.
Jiang Yashuang was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Did you know that before the late emperor planned Shazhou, he had already won over some important ministers for his use, who were among them?"
Qiu Yilan asked in confusion: "Who?" Why did the topic jump to this
"Ignore the others, Xue Chang and Cheng Jin are among them!" Jiang Yashuang said lightly, "Of course, the burning of the Zhenxi Army's baggage had nothing to do with them. But... after all, they quietly stood by the late emperor. People on the side!”
