Yijingye Mansion, in Nuange
Brother and sister Ye Jingren, Ye Kexin, and Ye Xingtong are sitting on the floor, happily playing with building blocks...
A month ago, Ye Mingsheng inspected Ye Jingren's homework. He was basically satisfied with the results, so he gave Ye Jingren a set of building blocks as a reward. Ye Jingren treasured this set of building blocks so much that he even used them when sleeping at night. To sleep together.
However, Ye Jingren, as the eldest brother, was also very considerate of his two younger sisters. He took out this set of building blocks and the three of them played together.
Not far away from the three children, An Miaoyi and Murong Qingwu were drinking tea together.
An Miaoyi poured a cup of tea for Murong Qingwu with her own hands and said with a smile:
"Sister Qingwu, you are an expert in tea tasting. How about trying this Dahongpao brought from the south?"
Feeling An Miaoyi's attitude, Murong Qingwu was also moved in her heart, but she took it with a slight smile on the surface. She did not taste the tea directly, but smelled the tea aroma first, and then slowly tasted it and praised it. road:
"Sister, your Dahongpao has a refreshing aroma and is sweet and smooth in the mouth. It is really a rare product in Dahongpao!"
Listening to Murong Qingwu's words, An Miaoyi smiled slightly and said:
"Sister Qingwu, if you like it, I will send someone to send you half a catty later. Sister, don't be too little. This tea is only three catties in total. My husband asked for two catties by himself. The old lady sent it to you. Half a catty······························"
When Murong Qingwu heard this, she also declined politely, but she couldn't resist An Miaoyi and insisted on seeing her off, so she could only accept An Miaoyi's kindness.
With the help of the two girls, they chatted while drinking tea. At first, it was all about the parents' petty issues and the children's problems, but as they talked, the two of them had a tacit understanding. They expected that the most popular person in Yijing City is now. Topic - Daxinchang ticket incident!
】
Putting down the tea cup, Murong Qingwu said as if unintentionally:
"Although my sister, Gu Shouting, has not been formally punished, I heard that after he returned to Yijing the day before yesterday, he was taken directly to Sanshan Xiaozhu by the guards at the city gate and put under house arrest!"
"It seems that Da Xinchang's matter has also implicated him. I don't know what role he played or what effect he played in it!"
Listening to Murong Qingwu's words, although An Miaoyi still looked normal on the surface, her heart sank as she realized that Murong Qingwu already knew that Gu Anshi had been looking for her!
Gu Shouting's first wife, Gu An, was also a member of the Hou An family in Kunshan. When she was still a girl in the An family, she was not close to An Miaoyi, but she was regarded as An Miaoyi's cousin.
According to the rules, Gu Shouting is stationed in Yujing as the general of the Sixth Division, so his family and children should stay in Yijing... ···
Therefore, even though An Miaoyi and Gu Anshi had a normal relationship when they were girls in the An family, they didn't have much contact.
However, because they married into Yi Jing together, there were not many relatives around them, so under the bond of blood relationship and Gu An's intentional flattery, An Miaoyi and Gu An's relationship gradually became closer.
Gu An often writes letters to An Miaoyi and sends some small gifts. Sometimes she also comes to Ye Mansion to visit An Miaoyi.
The relationship between Gu An and Gu Shouting was a typical family marriage. In addition, Gu Shouting doted on his concubine and Wang deliberately ignored Gu An, so the relationship between the couple was very bad.
Even so, after learning the news that Gu Shouting was under house arrest, Gu An immediately wanted to visit An Miaoyi and ask An Miaoyi to intercede with Ye Mingsheng.
The reason why Gu Anshi did this was not because he still had feelings for Gu Shouting. To be honest, Gu Anshi wished that Gu Shouting would be struck by five thunderbolts and be struck to death by God. But the problem is that as a husband and wife, they have become a mutually beneficial couple. A community of shared interests.
Moreover, the two of them have a son, so for the sake of their own interests and that of their children, Gu An has to find a way to save Gu Shouting as much as possible!
Although she sympathized with her cousin's situation and wanted to help her relative, An Miaoyi, who had learned from the previous experience, did not dare to take any action easily... ················
At this time, An Miaoyi felt the vague smile in Murong Qingwu's eyes. She also picked up the tea cup and tasted it, and then said slowly:
"Sister Qingwu, do you know Sun Jianghe?"
Listening to An Miaoyi's words, Murong Qingwu frowned slightly. She was sure that this was the first time she heard this name, but she was familiar with An Miaoyi's style. Since An Miaoyi mentioned this person's name, she must have Let go!
Seeing Murong Qingwu's frown, An Miaoyi chuckled and continued:
"I know that sister Qingwu definitely doesn't know this person, but your brother Murong Hui definitely knows this person!"
When these words came out, Murong Qingwu was startled at first, and then she didn't understand what An Miaoyi meant. But under her gaze, An Miaoyi said calmly:
"My brother Murong Hui is a rare talent. His purity and self-discipline are well-known in the officialdom, but it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty!"
"Your brother has a concubine, the Sun family, in the west city of Yijing. Sun Jianghe is the elder brother of the Sun family. Sun Jianghe also has another identity, that is, he is the owner of Sihai Trading Company. In the past year, he has taken advantage of your brother's relationship to do things one after another. Later, I borrowed five thousand taels of silver from the Gu family!"
"So if we really count, regarding the Daxinchang bank account, sister Qingwu, your natal family is not that clean... ····”
Murong Qingwu was also very surprised by An Miaoyi's story. Although she couldn't believe that her cousin, who had always been a gentleman, would do such a thing, her reason told her that An Miaoyi would not lie to herself about such a thing. After all, You can find out whether this is true or not by asking your cousin to verify it!
After taking a deep look at An Miaoyi, Murong Qingwu also asked in a deep voice:
"What's going on now?"
An Miaoyi organized her words and said:
"Huo San reported to my husband that Liu Yun, Gu Dejiang and others have been captured. Da Xinchang's account books and some materials related to the Gu family have been obtained. My husband asked him to hand them over to the Legal Affairs Bureau!"
Hearing this, Murong Qingwu's beautiful eyes revealed some confusion. She was not confused about what An Miaoyi said, but how An Miaoyi knew it.
Murong Qingwu knew that there was someone from An Miaoyi in the Attendance Department. An Miaoyi could always know some political trends within the Fengwu Army at the first time. But the problem was that An Miaoyi now knew too much in detail. Even Huo San asked Ye We all know the contents of Mingsheng's report. You must know that Ye Mingsheng used to meet Huo San alone.
Seemingly sensing Murong Qingwu's doubts, An Miaoyi hesitated for a moment before revealing:
"The news was told to me by Shen Yutong. My husband received Huo San's report in her yard. Shen Yutong was present when Huo San reported... ··············”
After hearing the news, Murong Qingwu fell into thinking, while An Miaoyi told the truth:
"Sister Qingwu, you know that I can't come forward directly on this matter, so I hope you can test your husband's attitude and see how he plans to handle this matter next!"
"The Gu family is deeply involved in this matter. How your husband handles the Gu family is likely to be seen by the outside world as a political signal for your husband's treatment of family issues. I believe that my sister, your natal family is also very concerned about this!"
"Besides, sister, I also think that your brother is a rare talent. I believe there must be some misunderstandings in this!"
Regarding An Miaoyi's hint that Murong Qingwu was still deep in thought, An Miaoyi was not in a hurry and waited patiently for Murong Qingwu's answer.
Although the basic base is the Liaoyang Gang represented by the Cui family, but because of the relationship between the Gu An family, although the relationship between An Miaoyi and the Gu family is not close, it can be considered harmonious.
However, the reason why An Miaoyi wanted to win over the Gu family was not just because of the Gu An family and her relatively harmonious relationship with the Gu family.
An Miaoyi has a very long-term view on this matter, because the Fengwu Army has made a breakthrough in the Yunbin situation, so some aristocratic families are even more ready to take action.
Therefore, An Miaoyi is keenly aware that at this juncture, how Ye Mingsheng deals with the Gu family, who are also members of the aristocratic family, has become a weathervane that attracts many people's attention... ·················
If Ye Mingsheng lifts the board high and puts it down gently, it is very likely that these aristocratic families will think that Ye Mingsheng has good intentions for them and is willing to give them an important position in the future power structure of the Fengwu Army. And this It may intensify the defection of the family members!
An Miaoyi didn't know what decision Ye Mingsheng would make on this issue, but she came from a distinguished family and still believed that even if Ye Mingsheng unified the world and created a new dynasty and became emperor, the family members would play an important role in the new dynasty. status, so An Miaoyi planned to show her favor to the family members on this matter.
After thinking about it for a long time, Murong Qingwu raised his head and asked An Miaoyi a question that made An Miaoyi stunned on the spot.
"Sister An, have you ever thought about why my husband asked Shen Yutong to listen to Huo San's report on the spot?"
"My husband has always made a clear distinction between official and private matters. He had always listened to Huo San's reports alone before. Even the most favored Pei Zhixiu did not listen!"
"Why did Shen Yutong make this exception this time?"
An Miaoyi is also a smart person. Although she was a bit obsessed with the authorities before, she immediately realized the key to the matter after Murong Qingwu's series of questions. Her face changed slightly and she said to Murong Qingwu:
"You are saying that my husband deliberately let Shen Yutong listen..."
Facing An Miaoyi's gaze, Murong Qingwu solemnly nodded and said:
"My husband most likely already knows that Shen Yutong will inform you, sister!"
Although An Miaoyi had already made some guesses, now that she had received Murong Qingwu's confirmation, her expression couldn't help but change again.
Seeing An Miaoyi's slightly panicked look, Murong Qingwu said sympathetically:
"My husband's imperial skills have become even more proficient!"
After saying this, Murong Qingwu warned An Miaoyi seriously:
"Sister, no matter who advises you or begs you at this time, you'd better not do anything!"
Listening to Murong Qingwu's words, An Miaoyi couldn't help but feel a little scared. She held Murong Qingwu's hand and said:
"I understand, thank you!"
"Sister, you're welcome!" Murong Qingwu said softly:
Although she and An Miaoyi never dealt with each other due to various reasons, the two people, who were also from the privileged class, had common interests on the issue of noble families!
In addition, the reason why Murong Qingwu was willing to remind An Miaoyi also had his own little thoughts!
Although it was difficult to accept it, Murong Qingwu finally recognized the true face of the person beside her. She knew that Ye Mingsheng was determined to restore order in the world.
As the biggest beneficiaries of the current order, the noble sects will definitely pay a considerable price for the re-establishment of order... ·····
In Ye Mansion, she and An Miaoyi each represented an interest group, so in the change of world order led by Ye Mingsheng, both of them were destined to be implicated to varying degrees.
Compared to An Miaoyi, who was deeply entangled with interest groups, An Miaoyi originally wanted to use this method to increase her political influence and consolidate her position as the matron.
However, this method also caused conflicts between An Miaoyi and Xianggong in terms of policy. Murong Qingwu could already foresee that if An Miaoyi was still unwilling to make changes, one day in the future, Xianggong would Make fundamental changes.
To be honest, Murong Qingwu is of course happy to see this happen. It also means that she may be able to rise to power, but once An Miaoyi falls, it means that she, who also represents an interest group, will become the loser. of!
With such considerations in mind, Murong Qingwu felt that An Miaoyi could not fall yet. She should continue to stand up to attract fire for herself, while she could hide her power and bide her time at this time. It would be best if she could give birth to a son for her husband.
Although the husband has not yet ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, his thoughts are also unpredictable. It seems that only Pei Zhixiu can understand him at this time!
Thinking of Pei Zhixiu, Murong Qingwu's beautiful eyes also showed a hint of worry. Although this woman has congenital shortcomings, if her husband insists on doing this, she may not be able to have the last laugh... ·····················
(Again, if you have any opinions, please tell me, I will accept them with an open mind, but if no one tells me, I can only continue writing according to my own ideas!)
