Chapter 514 An autumn rain and a cold
The emperor's heart moved. The Empress Dowager had never been in charge of court affairs in recent years. Although Fan Wenyang had good backgrounds and abilities, the Empress Dowager would not ask about the affairs of a prefect of Changping for no reason. Could it be because of the Fan family or the Zheng family?
Seeing that the emperor did not speak, the empress dowager was displeased: "Does the emperor think the Ai family want to care about your affairs in the court? The Ai family just wants to have a bowl of granddaughter-in-law tea as soon as possible."
So that's it.
The emperor quickly smiled: "My son is the flesh that fell from you. How could you not know what you are thinking? My son just wanted someone to inquire about whether there is a daughter of appropriate age in Fan Wenyang's family."
The Empress Dowager glanced at him, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "The emperor is responsible for everything he wants. You don't know what the ministers are doing. Speaking of Fan Wenyang, the Ai family has seen his sister and niece."
Fan Wenyang's niece?
Isn’t that a member of the Zheng family in Shu?
Thinking of the Zheng family in Shu, the emperor thought of Princess Yongen, and even more thought of Prince Long'an.
Seeing his brows slightly frowning, the queen mother smiled and said, "Although they are all surnamed Zheng, they are separated by the head of the house, and they have the blood of the Fan family."
The emperor had a good impression of the Fan family, otherwise Fan Wenyang's career would not be smooth and smooth. He became a Jinshi, and Shujishi was in power for three years, the Inspectorate was censored for three years, and he was sent to Guangdong as the governor of Zhaoqing Prefecture for three years, and Lianzhou was the governor of Changping for three years.
In the past twelve years, Fan Wenyang has been working hard and has been steadily promoted. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fan Wenyang's career resume is completely a replica of the current cabinet masters!
Fan Wenyang is only 37 years old now. As long as he doesn’t make any big mistakes, Xiao Jiuqing in his early forties will be stable.
In addition, Fan Wenyang's grandfather Fan Yi once worked as the young master of Zhan Shi's Mansion, and his foreign family was the Liao family in the capital.
The emperor said: "My son still remembers that he met Fan Wenyang in Zhan Shi's Mansion. He was only in his teens at that time, but his every move had the style of a great man. He saw that he was raised by a prominent family. His son wanted him to accompany him to study, but unfortunately his grandfather declined because he was too naughty."
"There is still this matter, but the Ai family has never heard of you. Fan Yi was chosen by the late emperor for you, so he was naturally interested in his mature and politeness. How could the grandson raised by such a person be naughty? It seems that he just wants to leave a way out for his descendants."
The empress dowager sighed, but she couldn't blame Fan Yi.
In this Great Zhou Dynasty, seven out of ten years of life did not live until the day of ascending the throne.
Since Fan Yi entered Zhan Shi's Mansion, his life was already tied to the prince. He could not protect his son, but he still wanted to protect his grandson and prevent his grandson from being a companion to the prince at that time. This was the greatest protection he could give to his grandson.
Fan Wenyang did not disappoint his grandfather. He took the safest path and did the most moderate thing. After his grandfather and father passed away one after another, he supported the entire family without showing any signs of disguise.
"Although the Ai family thinks that Fan Wenyang's niece is good,... it would be fine if there was no girl from the Luo family. Since there has been any, the Ai family will think about letting the elder brother see it himself, and he still has to live his life by himself." said the queen mother.
The emperor nodded: "The mother has always loved the child the most, and she also told her son this way back then."
The queen mother glanced at him and said angrily: "That's different. The emperor was the one who looked down upon him back then, but you looked down upon more than one, but seven or eight."
The emperor laughed dryly, are there so many? He doesn't remember it. Anyway, they all entered his harem later. As for whom, besides the queen, Concubine De and the eldest prince's biological mother, Lin Pin, there is anyone else. Alas, I don't have a good memory and I have forgotten it a long time ago.
So, when I saw the Empress Dowager, Empress De, and became angry about the marriage of my elder brother, I was tired of them, so I simply took them all and accepted them all, which was so easy to save trouble and simple!
Alas, it’s a pity that I can’t say it, I’m afraid I’ll be unhappy if I say it.
"Then let the mother decide. By the way, I still have many notes to read. I will say goodbye first."
The emperor stood up, saluted the Empress Dowager, and then quickly walked out of Cining Palace.
......
There was an autumn rain and a cold. After two days of rain, there were few leaves on the trees.
Hua Jingyao put on a sable cloak with both soft and hardness by Ziwei.
It was clear that it was time to wear big sweaters, Hua Jingyao looked out through the car window, right? She was the only one wearing a sable in the capital.
"Xiao Ai, go to Caiyifang to buy me a cotton cloak, go quickly." Hua Jingyao said.
Xiao Ai didn't move: "Sister Ziwei said..."
"This is what your girl said, go quickly!" Hua Jingyao sighed heavily.
Xiao Ai quickly calculated the gains and losses. Sister Ziwei would scold her, and her own girl would be fined.
Xiao Ai jumped out of the carriage, stopped a sedan chair, and headed to Caiyifang.
Hua Jingyao entered the bookstore and waited for Xiao Ai to buy clothes and come back. She went to find Li Buer and Xiao Qiao.
Although Li Shaobai is a liar, he is probably a bit smart. Li Shaobai is like this. He and Xiao Qiao's medicinal materials business are very good. In addition, with Li Bu'er in charge of the accounting, it took only half a year to save 300 taels.
A few days ago, Li Bu'er came over and said that they rented a cross-yard workshop in Xihua Hutong for fifty taels a year. They spent 20 taels to buy two little girls and a boy, and bought a mule cart. They asked Hua Jingyao to go to their new workshop when they had time.
Hua Jingyao was very happy, so there was no need to say about Li Bu'er. As long as she didn't have her father to drag her back, this girl would be able to live a good life.
But Xiao Qiao's family is different. A year ago, who would have thought that Xiao Qiao's family could survive in the huge capital with their own hands.
As for Li Shaobai, forget it, that is waste utilization.
After waiting for about half an hour, Xiao Ai came back like a gust of wind.
"Girl, I saw Captain Yin taking people out of the yamen. I asked Sun Xiaofu, and he said that someone died in Xihua Hutong."
Xihua Hutong?
Isn’t Xiao Qiao’s medicinal materials workshop just in Xihua Hutong?
Xiao Ai also thought of this and hurried back.
"Girl, do you think Miss Li's father was killed by his enemy?" Xiao Ai asked.
Hua Jingyao remembered the incident in her previous life, and Li Bu'er killed someone for her father.
In his previous life, Li Shaobai was an old liar, but now Li Shaobai has turned aside.
By the way, there is also a Xiao Qiao family. The case of the big and big Qiao family is related to Wuweidao. Fan Lianye is still on the run. Xiao Qiao family is an important witness in that case. Could it be that Fan Lianye is going to come back to kill Xiao Zhi family to vent his anger?
Hua Jingyao couldn't sit still anymore. She didn't even look at the new cloak that Xiao Ai bought, so she put it on directly.
"Let's go and have a look."
