The queen mother is charming

Chapter 65 The grace of knowing
After driving the sedan chair to the harem, Mu Qingchao saw a person from a distance.

That man was dressed in plain cloth, only about twenty years old, and hurriedly walked under the palace wall.

When he saw Mu Qingchao, he patted his sleeves with both hands, knelt on the ground on one knee, and shouted in fear and fear: "My minister, see the queen mother."

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at her until Mu Qingchao's sedan chair was in front of him.

It was Mu Qingchao who signaled the sedan chair to stop.

Leaning her back on the sedan chair, she sized up the man on the ground with her eyes, and asked after a while, "What's your name?"

"My minister's name is Xu Jinglin."

"Xu Jinglin? Xu Liangren's brother? This year's Jinshi?"

Unexpectedly, Mu Qingchao was able to tell the truth about his life experience, Xu Jinglin was both surprised and delighted.

"That's right, the Empress Dowager is so wise that even such an insignificant person as Weichen can remember it."

Mu Qingchao smiled: "The Ai family will certainly remember you. It's not easy to be a first-class Jinshi. If you have anything to do in the future, you can ask Xu Liang to come to the Ai family."

Xu Jinglin knocked his head on the ground, and made a big salute: "I thank the Queen Mother for her support."

After Mu Qingchao said these words, he told the sedan chair to move on.

She didn't need to say too much at all, the brothers and sisters were already good at making money, so they only needed to mention a little bit, and then waited slowly.

Mu Qingchao's guess was right, and the next day, that Xu Liang came.

In the past, her name was not right, she lived in seclusion in the Chaoyun Palace, and her family was sparse.

Now that she is gradually gaining power, she is someone who can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, so people will naturally come to her.

That Xu Liangren took a box of jewelry to see Mu Qingchao.

Mu Qingchao just took a quick look at it, only to see that the quality of the things inside was very poor, something she even despised when she was a favorite concubine.

That's right, Xu Liangren has not gained power yet, and his family is not considered rich, so naturally he can't produce any good things.

Mu Qingchao smiled politely at her: "You have a heart."

Then, Chun Ya put the thing into the warehouse.

Mu Qingchao gave her a seat, and Xu Liangren sat down cautiously. Her eyelids were slightly drooping, she didn't dare to raise her voice, and she spoke in a low voice.

She is not stunning, but she has a bit of Xiaojiabiyu's exquisiteness.

Mu Qingchao asked his servants to give him tea, and he took a cup of tea to drink slowly, and first passed the words to Xu Liangren: "The Ai family lives in seclusion in this Chaoyun Palace, and I thought it was forgotten by others, so it's hard for you to remember it. "

Hearing this, Xu Liangren lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The empress dowager is the mother concubine of your majesty and also the concubine of the concubines. The concubines are supposed to be quiet and serve the left and right. The concubines were negligent in the past."

Mu Qingchao smiled: "If you can remember it, it's not negligence."

The greetings were almost finished, she got straight to the point: "Yesterday, Aijia saw your brother."

Xu Liangren raised his head suddenly, his eyes flickered twice, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be overstepping, so he quickly lowered his head.

But I heard Mu Qingchao say: "Brother Ling is both talented and beautiful, and he is a first-class Jinshi in the new discipline. The Ai family has also read his articles. Although I don't understand them very well, I always think they are excellent.

It's a pity that such a good talent has no support in his family, no father and brother to pave the way, and he doesn't know when he will be able to make his way as a good scholar in the Imperial Academy. "

When Xu Liangren heard this, he clutched his skirt and said in a low voice: "The official position is not high or low, as long as he can do things for His Majesty and the people of Nanming, my brother will be able to fulfill his wish."

The words are beautiful, but in reality?
Mu Qingchao deliberately sighed: "Oh, that's a pity."

"The minister of the Ministry of Rites is imprisoned, and the officials of the DPRK and China are implicated, it is the time when there is a shortage of people.

Your Majesty has discussed with Ai's family several times what kind of talents to hire. Originally, he wanted to recommend Brother Ling, but it turns out that you two, brother and sister, have no such ambitions.

That's Aijia's self-indulgence. "

When Xu Liangren heard this, his heart beat violently twice.

"Queen Mother!"

Her voice trembled when she uttered those words.

Immediately, he didn't dare to think too much, stood up and knelt down towards Mu Qingchao: "If the Queen Mother can introduce my elder brother, it will be a great kindness for my brother and sister.

From now on, my brothers and sisters will only follow the Queen Mother's lead and never dare to have second thoughts. "

Seeing Xu Liangren like this, Mu Qingchao smiled.

A person's ambition is written on his face, no matter how well Xu Liangren pretends, the unwillingness in his eyes is easy to catch.

The goal has been achieved, and Mu Qingchao didn't have the idea of ​​taking Joe, he just said: "Get up."

"Since you are so sensible, the Ai family can't let you down in vain.

About your elder brother, Aijia will speak well for him in front of His Majesty. "

"As for you..."

Mu Qingchao's eyes fell on Xu Liangren, and he said after a while: "You can come to Aijia Palace to sit more on weekdays."

"Your Majesty comes here often. If I can see you, I will definitely have more impressions. At that time, Aijia will say a few words for you. Are you afraid that you won't have a chance to be favored?"

"The Queen Mother..."

When Xu Liangren heard Mu Qingchao's words, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

She originally came from a humble background, and was treated coldly in the harem. Her elder brother, who is clearly talented in literature, was oppressed by those aristocratic families everywhere because of his lack of background.

In a desperate situation, she heard that her brother met the queen mother yesterday afternoon.

Although the Queen Mother is not His Majesty's serious biological mother, she seems to be very trustworthy by His Majesty. Perhaps, she can really help him?

Xu Liangren had the mentality of giving it a try, and never expected to succeed. Unexpectedly, Mu Qingchao not only offered to help his brother out, but even made plans for himself.

How could she not be moved by such kindness?

"Empress Dowager, I don't want to thank you for your kindness. I will keep your kindness in my heart. If one day, the Empress Dowager has a place to use my concubine, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so."

Xu Liangren looked at Mu Qingchao sitting on the seat, and said sincerely word by word.

After Xu Liangren left, Chunya opened the jewelry box she had given her.

"Oh, it's just jewelry like this." Chunya said with some disappointment.

"I thought it was something extraordinary. These things, even the slaves have never cared about them. Why did the Queen Mother accept her so much favor?"

Mu Qingchao was sitting at the table drinking tea, looking in a good mood.

"Do you know who she is?"

"Xu Liangren." Chunya said.

Mu Qingchao laughed, but did not answer her words.

Who are these siblings?

Later, she was Shen Muchi's first favorite concubine, and after Zhong Ming, she was another chief assistant who dominated the government and the public.

According to historical records, ever since the Zhong family collapsed and Concubine Yu was given to commit suicide, Shen Muchi became more and more afraid of her relatives.

The brothers and sisters of the Xu family are still young, so they are the best choice.

Moreover, Xu Liang was very good-looking, and Xu Jinglin was also quite capable. The two brothers and sisters gradually won Shen Muchi's heart, and they became stronger step by step.

Now that he knew their future fate, why didn't Mu Qingchao establish a good relationship with them at this time, and recommend Shen Muchi to be by his side as a kindness?
