Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 188 Song Nian's Suspicion

No one knew exactly what the four of them talked about.

However, it was almost predictable that it definitely had something to do with the marriage that Xu Zhiqing ordered for his daughter, and perhaps it was also related to his job transfer.

In fact, Song Yun didn't know exactly what kind of official Biao's uncle was before. The main reason was that when they left Liyang County, Song Yun hadn't been born yet, and the Xu family was rarely mentioned at home.

When she was older, she knew that she had such relatives, and she only heard a few words from her grandmother when they sent each other New Year's gifts every year. She only said that she was an official in the south and was very capable, but what kind of official was it? Song Yun didn't know how much power it had.

So it wasn't until the Xu family came back that Song Yun learned that Xu Zhiqing was an official in Songjiang Mansion and was now going to be transferred to Xingqing Mansion in Song Nian's occasional chat with Shen Shi.

Song Nian didn't know much about this transfer. He only got a general understanding of the specific situation after listening to his cousin-in-law in the study.

However, he was still quite confused. Logically speaking, Xu Zhiqing had been in Songjiang Mansion for ten years, and even if he was promoted, he should continue to work in the south. Why was he suddenly transferred to the northwest?

This is not to say that the position in Northwest is not good, but that this transfer is somewhat unexpected.

If Xu Zhiqing did not do well, then he should be demoted or even dismissed. If he did well, it would be a bit strange for a person who is used to dealing with affairs in the south to suddenly work in a military center in the northwest.

Xu Zhiqing didn't explain too clearly. He only said that there was a problem in the officialdom over there, and officials were urgently needed, and the people above were afraid of party disputes, so they chose him, and there were also some officials from poor families.

There was some truth to what he said, but Song Nian was not a child, so he obviously didn't fully believe it. He just felt that Xu Zhiqing was avoiding the important and letting the family hear it.

Fortunately, when Xu Zhiqing explained, he also revealed a few names, which somehow made Song Nian a little familiar.

On the way home in the carriage, he kept thinking about what Xu Zhiqing said in the study. Other things were fine, mainly because of the transfer from the northwest side, which didn't have much impact on them.

It was a few of the names that made him quite concerned.But he couldn't remember where he had seen it all at once, so he could only keep repeating it silently in his heart, trying to discover some mystery.

Song Yun was completely ignorant of her father's various considerations, and after finally leaving relatives, she just wanted to go home and rest by the charcoal basin for a while, read novels, and eat snacks, so that she missed a key message.

After Song Nian returned home, he went to the study to look through the correspondence between him and Zheng Hanlin, and also looked at the various residence newspapers and news from the court that he had collected before. He had indeed seen these names, but it was not enough. Not only seen in these places.

If Song Yun was here, he would be able to find out where the name appeared at once, but Song Nian usually has several times more news channels than Song Yun. I can give up.

No matter what, Song Nian still wrote down the names he heard from Xu Zhiqing, and wrote the word "collaboration with the enemy" on the back.

Whether the evidence of collaborating with the enemy is true or not, Song Nian is not absolutely convinced. From ancient times to the present, using the crime of collaborating with the enemy to dismount border officials is almost the most effective way. After all, the emperor always "would rather kill by mistake than let go". But with so many officials involved, it is not just a matter of collaborating with the enemy, it must be related to the situation in North Korea and China.

Song Nian sighed. It is not easy to be an official these days. It was okay in the early years. In these years, the princes have grown up and have their own strengths. You have to be forced to choose sides, and if one is not good, you will be involved.

I don't know if this cousin-in-law really got a good job by luck in a daze, or he also has his own position.

In fact, this is the most likely answer, and the second is that there is really no one there, so that the ministers in the court chose Xu Zhiqing after reading his resume.

Of course Song Nian hoped it would be the second type, but he wasn't that confident, especially after Xu Zhiqing suddenly engaged his daughter in Beijing.

Song Nian sat blankly in the study, only feeling that his surroundings were full of mist. Originally, he had little to do with others, but his cousin got married with the King of Jin. Whether it was intentional or not, the Wang family was always included in the power of the King of Jin category.

In the same way, no matter what King Jin thinks, other princes will guard against his existence, which is inevitable.

What if you add the credit for the potatoes?
Song Nian somewhat regretted exposing the existence of potatoes when the situation was not yet clear. The appearance of such a high-yield grain would inevitably lead to different tendencies between North Korea and China.

He watched the smoke rising from the incense burner, constantly speculating and thinking about ways to protect himself.
