Guo Zhao was out of work, and the Guo family, orphaned and widowed, had no foundation in Furong Town, so they just took advantage of the opportunity of getting married to move to Zhenjiang Prefecture.
"I don't know if my in-laws will dislike us..."
Guo's mother was packing her things, feeling a little worried. Guo Zhao was obviously the same. Although he promised that he would not let Shen Yingxue down, the two families had unequal family backgrounds. Without guarantees, these promises were empty words.
"I will find a job as soon as possible and won't let Yingxue suffer with me."
In fact, Guo Zhao wants to join the army, but he hasn't told Guo's mother yet. Although he can climb the ranks quickly in the army, the battlefield is dangerous after all, and generals rely on their lives to climb. He is not only afraid that Guo's mother will be worried, but also that the Shen family will not be at ease. , unwilling to marry Shen Yingxue to him.
"Hey, let's take it one step at a time, but Mr. Shen has the ability. Zhenjiang Prefecture is now developing better than Furong Town. If you work hard, you will always find a job."
"Um."
Song Cang was reprimanded in court and lost face. Prime Minister Liu also hated him. He couldn't even control the back house. How could he entrust him with such a heavy responsibility? It seemed that he had to promote others.
Song Cang seemed to feel something, and his heart became cold. It was not easy for him to reach this position, and he must not give up easily.
"Master, you are back. What's going on in the second room? Why is the imperial doctor here?"
When Mrs. Yuan saw Song Cang coming in, she hurriedly stepped forward to help him undress. She couldn't hide what was going on in the second room, but she didn't know exactly what happened.
"Have someone send you two ginseng sticks. Song Lian is seriously injured and needs to be replenished."
Song Cang was silent for a moment and ordered her. Although this incident was caused by Song Lian, after all, he underestimated the enemy and gave Shen Yanqing an opportunity to take advantage of it. Moreover, Song Lian's injury was caused by someone he sent. Although it hurts the junior, Song Cang still feels soft-hearted.
"Didn't I say it was better last time?"
Yuan's body stiffened. She spent a lot of money to buy those two ginseng sticks, and she didn't want to just give them to her second wife. Moreover, Song Lian's previous visit was just a skin injury, so there was no need to use ginseng to repair it.
"Just go if you are told, there is so much nonsense!"
Song Cang's face fell, and Yuanshi was afraid, no matter how much she said, she didn't dare to say anything.
"I know, I'll send someone to send it right away."
Yuan called her cronies and inquired about the second roommate and why Song Lian was injured.
Song Lian was seriously injured, Song's father was frowning, and Song's mother was sighing. She even hated Song Cang because of this. When the eldest brother came to deliver medicinal materials, she almost had her mother-in-law beaten out, but fortunately Song's father stopped her.
"I know you have resentment in your heart, but the second wife still has to rely on her eldest brother. Lian'er has been seriously injured and cannot be beaten in vain."
He has to get some benefits!
When these words came out, Song's mother became even more angry. Her son was almost beaten to death. She still wanted to get benefits. Why did she marry such a greedy and lazy man? She took pity on her Lian'er and was injured in vain.
The mother-in-law of the eldest house was a genius. When she saw Song's father's behavior and the hatred on Song's mother's face, she revealed the truth in just a few words. She knew how to reply to the Yuan family, so she didn't I was patient and continued to sit down.
"Mother Yuan, you have to tell your elder sister-in-law and elder brother that Lian'er's injury is so serious that it cannot be repaired by two ginseng sticks. The second wife almost sacrificed her son for the elder brother, so she has to give two shops to compensate, otherwise Lian'er How do you calculate the time lost due to my son’s injury?”
Song's father was greedy for money, and he was used to asking for things from Song Cang. This time Song Lian was injured, which gave him a reason.
Aunt Yuan felt disgusted in her heart, but Song Cang just wanted to see the second wife. She was angry and couldn't let it out, otherwise not only would she not be able to bear it, but her wife would be hurt as well.
"I will definitely bring the message to the second master. You can rest assured to take care of the eldest man."
"Okay, then I'll wait!"
Song's father was in a good mood, and Song Cang would never wrong him if he was wealthy. These two shops had to be in good locations in the capital, and they couldn't buy a second house even if they had money. It seemed that Song Lian's injury was not entirely a bad thing.
"Did he really say that?"
Mrs. Yuan's face was gloomy, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn when she heard Aunt Yuan's words.
"It's absolutely true that Song Lian was injured by someone sent by our master. The second roommate even threatened us to get two shops because of this."
"Bah! This group of greedy blood-suckers can't take advantage of anything. All the things in the big house are reserved for Erlang and Sanlang. It's a good thing they have taken care of them all."
"No, I also think that the second bedroom is too much. Is it just the master's side?"
Aunt Yuan had worry on her face. Song Cang was still the head of the Song family, and their wives' words didn't count at all.
"You go outside and find out what happened in the court today."
Song Cang would not injure Song Lian for no reason, and coincidentally, the imperial doctor also came to the door. Yuan Shi suspected that the matter was exposed and the emperor blamed him. Her heart skipped a beat, and she always had an ominous premonition that something would happen to the second room.
It must have affected the master. If Dafang was really implicated, she would have the intention to kill Song Lian.
"yes."
Aunt Yuan didn't understand why Yuan's face was so solemn, but she knew deep down the seriousness of this matter, and she mustered up all the energy to deal with it.
In Zhenjiang Mansion, the Shen family also received news of Guo Zhao's release from prison, as well as a secret letter from the emperor.
Shen Yanqing sat at the desk and took a long time to read the letter. Jiang Miao saw the solemn look on his face and became more and more curious. She couldn't wait to know what was written in the letter.
"What did the emperor say?"
Shen Yanqing came to her senses, pulled her to sit next to him, and then spoke.
"The emperor said that the Song family's matter has been settled, but he still wants me to come to Beijing as soon as possible."
"Going to Beijing? Should I go back to Beijing to report on my work or be promoted?"
But before Shen Yanqing could answer, Jiang Miao had the answer in her mind. His expression would not be like this if he was just reporting on his work, so it was very likely that he was about to be promoted. Sure enough, Shen Yanqing's answer confirmed her idea.
"The emperor wants me to serve as a doctor in the household department."
"That Song Cang's seat?"
It is not a secret in the Shen family that the Song family uses power to suppress others. Jiang Miao has a clear understanding of these people in the Song family.
"But hasn't Song Cang left office yet?"
Could it be that the emperor wanted to demote him and support Shen Yanqing in his promotion?
Jiang Miao's thoughts were written on her face, and Shen Yanqing didn't even have to guess.
"Well, the emperor has this idea. Although Song Cang is cautious, he is not clean behind the scenes. This time he was caught using power to suppress others. Using this as a breakthrough, he will definitely be able to dig out more things from the Song family.
"
In particular, the Ministry of Household Affairs has always been controlled by the Prime Minister's faction, like a tight iron barrel. This time the Song family's affairs are involved, how can the emperor let it go so easily?
"Then we must make preparations as soon as possible, and these businesses in Zhenjiang Prefecture must be settled as soon as possible."
This is all Jiang Miao's business, and she will take it with her even if she enters the capital.
"Well, the eldest sister is coming back too, but she also brought the Guo family."
Shen Yanqing opened another letter and looked a little ugly when he saw that Shen Yingxue and Guo Zhao had made a private decision.
