Ye Mansion, in An Miaoyi's small courtyard
Because Murong Qingwu was confirmed to be pregnant again a few days ago, An Miaoyi was not in a good mood these days. Although she hated Murong Qingwu, An Miaoyi still did her job as a doctor and sent someone to help Murong Qingwu. Qing Wu sent some supplements··························
Originally, it would have been better for An Miaoyi to go and see Murong Qingwu in person, but An Miaoyi didn't want to show false sisterly harmony with Murong Qingwu there, so she just sent someone to deliver some things.
An Miaoyi thought that Murong Qingwu must not dare to eat the food she sent for fear that she would kill two of her, so in line with the principle of not wasting, An Miaoyi asked Qi Qige to randomly pick some supplements for Murong in the house. Send it to Qing Wu!
However, yesterday the news came out from the waiter that the husband was going to transfer Murong Yuliang to Huainan to be the chief envoy. An Miaoyi's mood immediately turned from cloudy to clear.
Because of what happened to Murong Zhengshan last time, An Miaoyi could be said to hate the Murong family so much that she wanted the Murong family to get away as far away from Yi Jing as possible. It would be best if she could take Murong with her. Qingwu, get out of here and never come back!
Therefore, An Miaoyi was very happy when she learned that Ye Mingsheng established the Yijing court without Murong Yuliang's name, and now that Ye Mingsheng wants to transfer Murong Yuliang to Huainan, An Miaoyi is even more happy... ·······················
First of all, based on the current situation in Huainan, if you are transferred from Hebei and Yu, you will definitely be demoted. Secondly, Murong Yuliang is also in his fifties. If he works in Hebei and Henan for a few more years, he will be almost sixty, and his political life will be nearing the end. , almost reaching the age of becoming a beggar!
It was even said that if he was unlucky, Murong Yuliang might even die of old age and illness while serving as chief envoy to Huainan! That would be great!
However, before An Miaoyi could be happy for too long, news came out that her husband was going to rest at Murong Qingwu's place tonight!
An Miaoyi was a little jealous when she heard the news at first, but then she thought about the news she got, and Murong Qingwu would probably get it too!
And Murong Qingwu definitely hopes that her father, Murong Yuliang, can be transferred to Yi Jing, and doesn't want to see her father transferred to Huainan and suffer hardship!
Although being the chief envoy in Huainan means that he is also a high-ranking official in the border area and has a high official position, under the current situation of Fengwu military regime being stable, he will definitely have greater political influence and status in the center. Higher!
In addition, Murong Qingwu is pregnant again, so An Miaoyi really hopes that this time Murong Qingwu can be proud of her favor and repeat her mistakes of interfering in government affairs!
Ye Mingsheng's previous punishment can be said to be heart-breaking for An Miaoyi, so An Miaoyi also hopes that her "good sister" can share the difficulties with her... ·········
An Miaoyi did not wait too long. Just when she asked the maid to freshen up her clothes in the early morning, Qiqige came back waiting for the latest news.
Seeing Qiqige coming back, An Miaoyi immediately asked the maid who was serving her to leave the room and started to wash herself up. After half an hour, she would wait for Jingren to go pay respects to Mrs. Ye Cui, so now she had little time It cannot be wasted either.
When only An Miaoyi and herself were left in the room, Qiqige also whispered:
"Madam, that maid Linghua said that the commander-in-chief told Murong Qingwu about his decision to appoint Murong Yuliang as the chief envoy to Huainan!"
As soon as these words came out, An Miaoyi immediately stopped dressing up and turned to look at Qiqige expectantly. However, Qiqige said:
"According to Linghua, after the commander said these words, Murong Qingwu replied that Huainan is a good place with outstanding people, and thanked the commander for Murong Yuliang's grace!"
An Miaoyi snorted coldly when she heard this, her beautiful eyes filled with disappointment. Murong Qingwu, a wealthy city, was deeper than she thought!
Listening to An Miaoyi's cold snort, Qiqige said again:
"According to Linghua, after Murong Qingwu thanked the commander for his kindness, the commander emphasized to Murong Qingwu that Murong Yuliang was sent to Huainan this time to engage in economic work.
Murong Yuliang has great expectations. He hopes that Murong Yuliang can make Huainan as good as Jiyu... ···
After saying this, Qiqige hesitated and then said carefully:
"Also, according to Linghua, Miss Kexin pestered the commander to tell her a story last night, so the commander told Miss Kexin a story about a princess and seven dwarfs!"
Then Qiqige simply told An Miaoyi the story that Ye Mingsheng told last night. After listening to this story, An Miaoyi became more and more uncomfortable. She always felt that Ye Mingsheng was reflecting on who he was telling this story. Especially the bad queen who doesn’t know who she’s talking about!
In order to better grasp Murong Qingwu's movements, An Miaoyi wanted to bury a secret next to Murong Qingwu, just like how she controlled Xiao Huan around Pei Zhixiu before.
At first, An Miaoyi focused on Murong Qingwu's personal maid Ying'er, and even tried to ask Huo San to investigate Ying'er's background and life!
However, after investigating Ying'er, An Miaoyi felt that the possibility of wooing Ying'er was too low, so she took the next best step and targeted Linghua, another maid next to Murong Qingwu.
Because Murong Qingwu treats people around her very well, Linghua firmly refused An Miaoyi's attempt to win over her at first. No matter how much money An Miaoyi gave her, she would not agree to be very loyal!
However, An Miaoyi is not a good man and a woman of faith. If she can't win over, she will come to play tricks. Under her instructions, Qiqige arranges for someone to play a game for Linghua's gambling-loving father. Linghua is forced to give in and kill her master. Murong Qingwu's movements were quietly conveyed to An Miaoyi...
Looking at An Miaoyi's slightly gloomy face, Qiqige also analyzed:
"Madam, I think the commander told this story to Miss Kexin, probably to warn Murong Qingwu!"
"Whether Murong Hui was transferred to Anqing or Murong Yuliang was transferred to Huainan, this proves that you understand the truth about Murong Zhengshan's assassination in Jiangnan, so you are punishing the Murong family and making them fearful. How dare you act recklessly!"
"So in my opinion, when the Marshal told this story, he compared the Murong family to the bad queen, and Madam, you are the princess in the story. After the Bad Queen fell to her death, you and the Marshal got along beautifully for hundreds of years!"
Hearing Qiqige's explanation, An Miaoyi felt much better. After thinking for a moment, she ordered to Qiqige:
"Help me collect information about Huainan!"
"clear!"
After An Miaoyi finished explaining, she quickly asked the maid to come in and continue to dress her up, and then ordered the other maids:
"Go to Jingren's house and see if this little bastard is up!"
"Replying to Madam, Mr. Jingren has just gotten up, and now Sister Yueru and the others are washing and dressing Mr. Jingren!"
"Let Yueru and the others hurry up and don't miss the time..."
"yes!"
····························

In the evening, Yijing Cui Mansion
Cui Shao, who had just returned home from the Hubu Yamen, was sitting on the imperial chair in the study, preparing to take a nap before going to dinner. However, at this moment, an old servant came over and reported:
"Sir, Mr. Zhu Xiaowen and Zhu are here to visit!"
After hearing this, Cui Shao opened his eyes and nodded and said:
"Xiaowen is here! It's time for dinner!"
"yes!"
After a cup of tea, Cui Shao came to a side room of Cui Mansion. A banquet had been set on the table, and Zhu Xiaowen was also waiting in the room. When he saw Cui Shao, he bowed and said apologetically:
"Xiaowen came at the wrong time! He disturbed my mentor's meal!"
Cui Shao smiled and waved his hand and said:
"It's okay! I think Xiaowen, you just came back from the Dali Temple Yamen, so you can just leave me here for some simple meals!"
When Zhu Xiaowen heard this, he immediately said without refusing:
"Thank you for the hospitality, master!"
Although Cui Shao was not a person who liked luxury much in his life, he was not a particularly frugal person as he came from a noble family. Because he loved calligraphy, he often spent a lot of money on the original calligraphy he liked.
And he will not treat himself badly when it comes to eating. Although this dinner seems to be only three meat and three vegetables, it is nothing for Cui Shao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
But the six dishes of crystal pork elbow, Longjing shrimp, sea cucumber roasted with green onions, almond tofu, stir-fried sugar vegetables with eight treasures, and boiled cabbage are all made with great care and are full of color, flavor and flavor. They are even better than those made by the chef of Yijing Fifth Building. Delicious, but also beautiful···························
Because he was dining with Zhu Xiaowen, his most proud disciple, Cui Shao was in a good mood, and immediately asked his servant to bring out a bottle of thirty-year-old Xinghua Village wine.
Cui Shao picked up the wine glass and said with a smile:
"This is the 30-year-old Xinghua Village that that boy Ye Cheng gave me a few days ago. Xiaowen, please try it!"
Hearing this, Zhu Xiaowen also became interested. He first smelled the wine in the glass, then picked up the glass and tasted it slowly, and then praised with emotion:
"The Xinghua Village made in the past thirty years is indeed extraordinary. The taste is rich and the wine is very mellow. It is really irresistible!"
Cui Shao heard this and said with a smile:
"It's a pity that Ye Chengcheng gave me this bottle. Otherwise, seeing how much you like Xiaowen, I would give you a bottle to take home and taste!"
Zhu Xiaowen also flattered:
"Being able to follow my mentor and taste what Xinghua Village has been like for these thirty years is already Xiaowen's blessing. How can Xiaowen dare to ask for more?"
The master and apprentice also chatted for a while through Jiuxing. During this period, many people were implicated in Liu Zhengyue's corruption case, so Dali Temple was also very busy.
Therefore, Zhu Xiaowen, the Minister of Dali Temple, came to visit his mentor Cui Shao for the second time today. The last time was when he was just transferred from Liaoyang, and the rest of the time was busy with the work of Dali Temple... ················
Seeing that Cui Zibo did not appear for a long time, Zhu Xiaowen asked curiously:
"Teacher, isn't Brother Zibo at home?"
When he was in Liaoyang, Zhu Xiaowen played very well with Cui Zibo as Cui Shao's student, and the relationship between the two was also very good. When Zhu Xiaowen was serving as the inspector in Liaoyang, he often exchanged letters with Cui Zibo.
Cui Shao heard this and said helplessly:
"You can't help your son when he grows up! Forget about that evil thing and let's continue drinking!"
Because the Fengwu Army captured Jiangnan, some politically sensitive business houses in Jiangnan sent people to Yijing one after another during this period. On the one hand, they wanted to find business opportunities in Yijing, and on the other hand, they were also looking for connections. , looking for a backer for future development in Dazhou!
Looking at the current Yijing court, the thickest thigh and the hardest backer is undoubtedly Ye Mingsheng himself, and the second is undoubtedly the Secretary of the Household Department in the Yijing court, who has the reputation of one person below ten thousand people. Cui Shao!
However, Cui Shao has always been strict with himself and very cautious, so in these businesses, let alone filial piety, they can't even see Cui Shao's people!
But it doesn’t matter if you can’t see Cui Shao. After all, Cui Shao is not alone, especially since he also has a son, Cui Zibo, who is the minister of the Ministry of Justice!
Before this, Cui Shao also warned Cui Zibo to be careful of the hunting and corruption of these people. The Cui family has no shortage of money and wealth, so don't do things that disgrace the family's reputation and make others famous... ···················
Cui Zibo also kept his father's words in mind. He adhered to his original intention and refused all those gifts of silver and treasures. However, a hero cannot be more than a beauty, and a hundred times of tempering steel turned into softness. Cui Zibo, who was in his prime, did not have the determination of his father Cui Shao, so he accepted it. A girl named Qingxue was sent by a merchant from Jiangnan.
Skinny horse!
Because he was afraid of being blamed by his father, Cui Zibo did not dare to take Qingxue back to the Cui family's mansion. He bought a house outside and raised it as an outer room to hang out with her every night. Recently, he came home very late!
In this regard, Cui Zibo also explained that the Ministry of Punishment had a lot of work and social activities, so he came home late. He thought he could get away with this little trick of his, but little did he know that Cui Shao saw it, but he just didn't want to expose him for the time being. That’s it!
Seeing that his mentor didn't want to mention Cui Zibo more, Zhu Xiaowen didn't continue to ask, and changed the subject wisely.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhu Xiaowen began to get down to the topic. He pondered for a moment and asked Cui Shao:
"Teacher, what do you think the commander-in-chief's intention is to transfer Mr. Sun to Youyan? In just a few months, this is already the second chief envoy. Is it possible that this is really a new storm? coming?"
Upon hearing Zhu Xiaowen's question, Cui Shao picked up another Longjing shrimp and asked with a smile while eating:
"Tell me first, Xiaowen, what do you think..."
