Changsha Princess Wu was delayed for four or five days in a village outside the city because she was preparing all kinds of things for her younger brother Yang Qifan to get married. Only when she returned to the Changsha Palace did she hear about the big gossip that Prince Rui and the Crown Princess had gone to visit Miss Shi.
After hearing this, Princess Wu became anxious. She hurriedly spoke to the old concubine and rushed to Prince Rui's Mansion to see Princess Wei.
At the end of summer last year, the Shi family began to ask people to talk about the Charity Association. The first time the Shi family asked people to come to her door, she went to ask Princess Wei. Princess Wei made it clear that this matter would have to wait until she got married.
When your daughter-in-law comes in, she can't accept her, or refuses to accept her, let's talk about other things.
She reported this to the Shi family, but Mrs. Shi actually came in person, which made it clear that she had already agreed with Miss Li that she would take care of the charity.
She also said this to Princess Wei, but Princess Wei still said the same thing, she had to wait until the Crown Princess came in before speaking.
The eldest concubine of Prince Rui's residence has entered the house, but before the new year has passed, the mountain collapsed, and the charity society must not be taken care of, and then...
Alas, then she became careless and was only busy with the youngest's marriage and forgot about this important event!
Fortunately for her, Shi Jia didn't come to her door in the past two days. If Shi Jia rushed to visit her in the past few days, she fooled her already a little confused mother-in-law into writing a note...
Fortunately, fortunately!
On this trip, we either have to fight with Princess Wei to take over the person who takes over the Charity Society, or transfer it to Princess Wei. Her mother-in-law is so confused that she must not be able to control it, let alone herself. This is the property of Prince Rui's Mansion.
thing.
Princess Wu weighed it all the way, met Princess Wei, joked and exchanged a few words, and then turned to the main topic.
"I came home yesterday afternoon and went to tell my mother about the youngest getting married. My mother actually asked me: Why haven't the youngest got married yet? You see, my mother is so confused."
Before Princess Wu could get back to the topic, Princess Wei interrupted and asked, "Didn't your old lady behave like this the year before last year? I remember that during the Chinese New Year the year before last, she pulled me and asked me if I had chosen my husband's family."
Princess Wu was choked by Princess Wei until she could no longer speak.
This was the case the year before last, so we can't use this confusion as an excuse.
"Aunt, the affairs of the charity society can no longer be placed in the name of our old lady." Princess Wu simply said directly from the junior position.
"Did you hear some gossip?" Princess Wei glanced at Princess Wu.
"How rare is it that you don't know that the Crown Princess is out of the city?" Princess Wu asked in return.
"I asked her to go. What happened?" Princess Wei asked seriously.
"If you don't say anything, aunt, the Crown Princess said to leave it to Mrs. Shi to take care of it, or the Crown Prince has spoken, what about this matter?" Princess Wu looked at Princess Wei.
"No matter how ignorant my daughter-in-law is, she will never say this to me, let alone Brother Yan. Just prepare for your youngest's marriage with peace of mind. Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you." Princess Wei.
He said it simply, but the matter was still not answered.
Princess Wu thought for a while and had no choice but to agree.
Okay, even though they didn't push it out, with the words of the princess, at least they wouldn't be put on the head.
Alas, it’s good that their old lady is confused now, otherwise, her eagerness to do things will be really annoying!
After seeing off Princess Wu, Nanny Shen made a bowl of tea and gave it to Princess Wei, and said with a smile: "Looking at our Crown Princess, she doesn't look like someone who is willing to take care of the affairs of the Charity Association. Madam Shi is quite suitable." "
"Who entrusted this to you? The concubine of your family? The Shi family?" Princess Wei asked slowly.
"That's not true. I just said it casually."
"If there is no matter of canceling the engagement, if we have never discussed the marriage with the Shi family, and the Shi family sister is willing to take over, then give it to her. But now, even if you, the Crown Princess, are unwilling to take care of it, you cannot leave it to the Shi family sister. Li." Princess Wei said.
"Is this Charity Association very important?" Grandma Shen didn't quite understand.
"It doesn't matter if it's important, but to manage the charity society, you have to deal with the matrons of the various families in Jianle City. Anyone who has a respectable family will give money and gifts to the charity society, so they all have to go back and forth. Really? If you want to pick something up, it’s hard to guard against it." Princess Wei explained.
Nanny Shen understood immediately after hearing this, "This is Mrs. Shi's scheming."
"Yes." Princess Wei responded, thinking about Madam Shi, and then thinking about her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but sigh.
Mrs. Shi married many of her own arms, and now she is married to someone who is full of trouble!

Privy Council.
When Prince Rui saw Gu Yan lift the curtain and come in, he put down his pen and stood up, motioning for Gu Yan to sit on the couch opposite.
The boy brought boiling water in. Prince Rui motioned the boy to put it down and go out. Gu Yan moved closer and took some tea leaves to make tea.
"How is it over there in Jiangnan?" Prince Rui asked slowly.
"It's been straightened out at the dock, but the Customs and Excise Department hasn't dared to do anything yet. They've made two sets of accounts." Gu Yan replied.
"Have you seen today's discount?" Prince Rui asked next.
"What's the deal asking you to resign?" Gu Yan glanced at his father.
"Um."
"You insisted on taking the Shanling Envoy mission at first. The Emperor originally wanted Prime Minister Zhang to take charge." Gu Yan pushed the tea in front of his father.
According to the unwritten rules of this dynasty, the Shanling Envoy has always been served by the late emperor's closest minister. After being appointed as the Shanling Envoy, the minister must submit his resignation and retire to retire.
"Because of my relationship with the late emperor, this mountain mausoleum is the most suitable for me to lead. When I was sent to lead the mountain mausoleum, I made plans and handed in my resignation as soon as I was sent." Prince Rui took the tea and smelled it.
"The war in the north has only lasted for the past two years, but the Privy Council is in turmoil. The emperor is very worried." Gu Yan frowned.
"How did it go when you met the Prime Minister?" Prince Rui asked.
"I showed him the account books of the silk shop. He felt that the silk shop benefited from the Jiangnan culture and the world's culture by supporting the scholars. As for the worship of small officials and officials, the king and the prime minister meant that if there were no support from the silk shop, these would Even petty officials and petty officials have to support their families and make a living. This money must be collected from the errands, and the people will suffer." Gu Yan couldn't help but frowned.
"The Prime Minister has served in prefectures and counties for more than ten years and is very familiar with state and county government affairs." Prince Rui took a sip of tea.
"I want to bring Pan Shiyi back for use." Gu Yan looked at his father and said.
"That cousin of Shiwen?" Prince Rui asked after thinking for a while.
He only had a vague impression of Pan Shiyi.
"Well, I wasn't very good at studying. When I left Enyin, my first job was in the Secretary's Office of the Ministry of Household Affairs. After one term, I went to Shandong East Road and became the county magistrate of a small county. After two terms, I returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs. After my first term, I was appointed
The county magistrate of a small county in Jiangxi has been in the position of county magistrate since then. I talked with him once and he is a man who is well versed in world affairs and people's feelings, which can just make up for his son's shortcomings in this regard." Gu Yan introduced.
Prince Rui smiled and said, "It's great that you know your own shortcomings."
"Well, there are no exceptions when envoy Shanling wants to submit his resignation, and my father is not obliged to submit it." Gu Yan returned to the previous topic.
"It's better to hand it over. This is the friendship between me and the late emperor." Prince Rui said.
"Daddy doesn't think about me either," Gu Yan complained.
"Just seeing you like this makes me feel relieved, so I'm not afraid to hand in this resignation." Prince Rui smiled.
"Yeah." Gu Yan looked at his father for a moment, then lowered his eyes and sipped tea.
His father used to give up and return home early because of his stupidity and radical thinking. Now that his father can retire in peace, he will definitely not leave as early as before.
