: Hard to ride a tiger

The Fang family is also dinner time now.

Fang Qingxue held the bowls and chopsticks and ate very silently for the meal. Mrs. Fang looked at him and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? She has sighed these days. If you have any questions, tell me and let me give you some advice. Brother Luan has already joined the Ministry of Personnel to observe politics. He is better than you were in the past, and maybe he can help you get some worries."

As he said that, Fang Qingxue sighed again. "Although he is better than me back then, he is still a young boy. How dare you be strong if you don't have any experience in this career? I'm in a difficult situation this time."

"Or what accounts are for the Office of the Interior?"

Fang Qingxue nodded.

Mrs. Fang put down the bowls and chopsticks. "In my opinion, you might as well go directly to the emperor!"

"That's that simple? If this matter really involves the Shi En case, then when I go to the emperor, the empress dowager's wish will be disappointed. If the late emperor and the empress dowager were not kind and righteous, and were thinking about the little contribution of the old Fang family, how could we Fang Qingxue have the blessing to stay in Beijing for a job? If the late emperor and the empress dowager were not willing to cultivate it, how could I become a third-rank official?"

"That's right," said Mrs. Fang, who also sighed, "If you can't make a fortune, then I am naturally not a third-rank imperial edict. 80% of our sons will not be as promising as they are now, and this kindness cannot be forgotten."

Speaking of this, she had a sudden inspiration: "Then let's go and find the Queen Mother?"

"I'm not thinking about it. The key is that the Queen Mother is in the harem, and we can't see you! And even if I can let you go, I don't have conclusive evidence. At that time, if He Sheng and his team come up with something wrong, how will the end? - I can't come up with a good idea."

Fang Qingxue sighed deeply.

Mrs. Fang was indeed worried after hearing this.

"Master." At this time, the maid walked in, "Marquis Qingyun asked for a meeting outside the door."

Mrs. Fang was slightly surprised: "Marquis Qingyun strongly supported the emperor to severely punish Shi En. Why did he come suddenly?"

Fang Qingxue also looked panicked, but he remained calm: "I've come here, so I must meet you." After saying that, he stood up: "Go and ask the Marquis to sit in the front hall!"

Marquis Qingyun entered the front hall of the Fang family. As soon as he sat down, Fang Qingxue arrived quickly: "I don't know if the marquis is here, I have missed the welcome. Please forgive me!"

"Why should Qingxue be polite? I'm sorry to bother you."

Both sides sat down in a humble remark. Fang Qingxue personally served tea and said, "Mr. Marquis must have something to convey to the officials?"

"Where?" Qingyunhou smiled with tea, "Qingxue and I are not superiors and subordinates, and I should not convey anything even if I have something to do. I am by the way. I remember that when the late emperor was there in the early years, you and I often traveled with you and I had a chat on the way, so I went into the house to ask for a cup of tea. Didn't you disturb your rest?"

"The Marquis is a distinguished guest who can't even be invited by the officials. How can he mention the word "disturbance"? The late emperor is really worth remembering, but it's a pity..."

With this sigh, there is no need to say anything else.

"Although the late emperor left us, the emperor today also has the spirit of Yao and Shun. Daliang has put in many new national policies in recent years, and border defense and taxation have been strengthened step by step. As long as the court officials are obeying the laws and regulations and maintaining the laws, the prosperity of Daliang is just around the corner."

Fang Qingxue could not help but avoid his gaze when she heard the four words "maintaining laws and regulations".

Qingyun Hou's eyes fell on him: "In this peaceful era, the Ministry of Revenue accounts are most likely to be in trouble. Qingxue's position is high and he is responsible, and he holds the accounts of all parties in his hand. What are the situations?"

Fang Qingxue's hands, which were placed on her knees, unconsciously snatched down. "If you go back to the Marquis, the Ministry of Revenue accounts do not look abnormal at the moment."

Hou Qingyun looked at his hand: "The emperor worked hard to govern, and was a wise king. The late emperor also held great confidence and expectations for the emperor. Qingxue is the most loyal minister. It is not easy for the Fang family to have such prosperity. If you are in such a position, if there is any situation, you should make a decision at the right time. Otherwise, you will be implicated by yourself at that time."

Fang Qingxue pulled out several nests on his thighs with his ten fingers. His chest rose and fell a little, then raised his head and said, "I dare not hide it from the Marquis. There is really nothing wrong with it. If there is, the officials will never dare to hide it."

Queen Qingyun looked at him for a moment and nodded. Then she took a few sips of tea and stood up and said, "It's not too early, so I won't sit much longer. If you find any situation, you can come to see me at any time. Or, go directly to the palace to meet the saint."

"As the Marquis' instructions."

After sending Qingyun Hou out, Fang Qingxue stood at the door for a while before returning to the room.

Mrs. Fang asked anxiously: "How is it? What did you say?"

"It's true that I'm asking about the account of the Office of the Internal Affairs, I didn't say it."

Mrs. Fang, Matsushita, said: "What should I do? The emperor probably knows that you have mastered the situation."

Fang Qingxue gritted her teeth and sat down and said, "It really doesn't work. I will try to go to the yamen tomorrow to get some evidence first before going to see the Queen Mother."

"Didn't you say you can't get it?"

"I think of a way."

Mrs. Fang was speechless after hearing this.

There is no way to go, so this is all we can do.

"By the way, where is Brother Qu?" Fang Qingxue suddenly thought.

"Oh, I'm going to his uncle's house. I said my brothers and I'm going to make an appointment to watch the moon in the mansion tonight."

Fang Qingxue reminded: "But keep him in a tight position, don't let him get into trouble, and give someone a handle."

"I know, he will be back tomorrow."

...

Farewell banquet is just a scene. Can a villain not offend him or not? After all, he lives here because of his reputation as a relative. He keeps all the etiquette and avoids talking in the future.

Besides, everyone is leaving, so why not be more beautiful on the face?

This is how Xing prepared this meal.

In order to show his solemnity, Xiaolan dressed up Zhao Su, put on makeup, and even wore a pink and yellow silk flower on her temples.

As soon as I went out, everyone's faces were filled with joy. It seemed that everyone was sincerely happy about Aunt Ning's departure.

Zhao Su walked outside the banquet hall set up in the West Cross Courtyard and saw Yun Xiangyi looking forward to her in the corridor, so she waved to her.

Yun Xiangyi immediately walked over and pulled her to the side: "Ning Xiang is here."

"I know."

"But he has asked you three times and kept saying that he wants to see you."

“…”

three times!

Is she so popular?!

"Where is he?"

"Several young masters in the mansion accompanied him to make tea in the second room next to the banquet hall." Yun Xiangyi held his hands, "It looks quite normal on the face, but he shouldn't take the initiative to look for you, a girl!

"Even if you want to find it, you should find our Marquis. Be careful anyway, don't lose his pit."

Of course, Zhao Su would not take the initiative to provoke him, but his motives also make people curious.

"I'll go and have a look!"

He looked into the hall, and after saying that, he crossed the door and went in.
Chapter completed!
