Chapter 241 Holding the Feather as an Arrow

"However," Yue Chen turned the subject lightly, "Father has to think clearly, whether the Yue family wants to temporarily protect the family and change the family situation, or whether they want to be reused by the eldest princess and revive the family reputation."

Yue Zongchang frowned: "In your opinion?"

"The eldest princess came to Hangzhou County. The officials of Hangzhou County delayed the disaster situation. It has already been concluded. When the eldest princess returns to Beijing, the whole Zhejiang Province will be turned upside down."

Losing control of Zhejiang Province, the prestige of the Marquis of Cheng'an is bound to be greatly reduced.

Yue Zongchang frowned: "It is also a fact that the Qi family's army is weak."

Yue Chen disagreed: "The Qi family's army is weak and weak, and it's not because of its strength. In the past, Marquis Cheng'an manipulated the military department to restrain the Taiwei's mansion and suppress the Qi family's army. Later, there was a cloud of China's ambitions. A ferocious giant tiger was tied up by others. How can you let go if you can't let go of your hands and feet?"

"Now the eldest princess is strong, and the Qi family's army, who has been immersed for a long time, is like a tiger coming out of the cage. It is just around the corner to revive the name of "God of War"."

Yue Zongchang was thoughtful.

Yue Chen didn't say much, but only reminded: "The Yue family wants to gain the trust of the eldest princess and help the eldest princess to calm down the disaster. Sincerity is not enough."

Yue Zongchang's gaze was deep.

Chen'er contributed a lot to the Yue family's ability to resist the intensified suppression of the Lin family.

He said: "When it is difficult to move, don't move, look far, take root downward, and accumulate strength, so that you will not be easily shaken by others."

Chen'er proposed to donate and present books to Tianxialou, and cooperate in the publication of bibliographies. The Yue family has a profound heritage, how can there be thousands of volumes of books in the family?

The elders in the family spoke out against it one after another.

It took Chen'er three days to convince those stubborn clan elders.

Facts have proved that Chen'er is right.

This move of the Yue family won a great reputation among a large number of poor students, and with the support of a large number of poor students, the Yue family got some respite from the oppression of the Lin family.

Later, several children of the Yue family in Taixue sent back news that they were highly valued by their teachers in Taixue. After some inquiring, I found out that those who helped Yue's family were some old officials of Taifu Meng's family.

Only then did they realize that the owner behind Tianxialou was the eldest princess, but behind the eldest princess were Taifu Meng and His Majesty.

In terms of breadth and vision, no one in the family can match Chen'er.

Yue Zongchang persuaded: "Tomorrow, you and I will go to the county government office to meet the eldest princess. I heard that there are three thousand people in the shogunate of the eldest princess. Anyone with talent and outstanding character can enter the shogunate as a bureaucrat. If you can be appreciated by the eldest princess and follow the path of a minister, you can still be loyal to the country and benefit the people, and maybe you can be recommended by the eldest princess and be hired by the court."

Throughout the ages, how many people with lofty ideals were born as shogunate ministers?
Yue Chen shook his head: "My ambition is not here, so there is no need for my father to persuade me."

On the tenth day of June, light rain.

When Jiang Fuguang woke up again, it was already dawn.

It was still raining outside, she looked around the house blankly, but did not see Ji Ruxuan.

In a trance, everything that happened last night was just a dream.

Ying Luo came in to wait for her to take a bath. Her body was soaked in the bitter medicinal soup, and she felt the fatigue of the past few days, which was swept away immediately.

Yingluo massaged the acupuncture points on her head: "General Xuanwu sent the latest disaster situation in Xin'an County. The scope of the disaster has expanded. The area of ​​flooded fields is as high as 10,000+ mu, and the number of people affected by the disaster is as high as tens of thousands."

Jiang Fuguang's breath stagnated: "Is it because the yamen didn't do anything, and didn't vigorously organize embankment construction, dam reinforcement, flood control, water release, and clean up of various river passages downstream, so that the flood disaster expanded?"

"Yes!" Yingluo's heart trembled slightly, "General Xuanwu has taken control of the county government and put the garrison into fighting the flood."

Jiang Fuguang was in a serious mood, and he was thinking of finishing the matter with the county government office as soon as possible, and going to Xin'an County as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation of flood fighting.

Yingluo changed the subject: "The aristocratic family from Hangzhou County came to pay a visit, and they are waiting in the county government office right now."

"Why didn't you report it before?" Jiang Fuguang opened his eyes.

"Master Ji ordered," Yingluo didn't dare to hide it, "he said that the eldest princess had traveled long distances, was exhausted from boats and cars, and was very tired. Cultivate your spirit, the affairs of the aristocratic family are not as important as your body."

Jiang Fuguang bent his lips unconsciously: "What about him?"

Yingluo replied: "The Habayashi guards sent a batch of documents confiscated from the government offices of officials in Hangzhou County this morning. Mr. Ji is looking over them."

Jiang Fuguang suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter, and people were not as urgent as before.

Thinking of Ji Ruxuan's injury, she still felt a little uneasy: "Let the female medical officer go over and check his injury, in the name of the hidden guard."

Yingluo agreed.

"Which aristocratic families are here?" There are many aristocratic families in Hangzhou County.

"Yue, Zhu, Qin, Zhang..." Yingluo mentioned more than ten families in succession.

They are all well-known aristocratic families in Hangzhou County, and some of their children are officials in the court.

Jiang Fuguang was thoughtful.

The aristocratic family that came to visit was the Yue faction headed by the Yue family, and because the Yue family was once the number one family in Hangzhou, they were severely suppressed by the Lin family.

"How's the situation in town?"

"The garrison guarded the major entrances and exits of Hangzhou County and took over the security patrols. It did not disturb the people or cause too much panic. Everything in Hangzhou County continued as usual."

Yue Ting did not disappoint her, Jiang Fuguang was relieved.

Yingluo continued to report: "Last night, the patrol army caught some suspicious people, and they have been handed over to Habayashi Wei for interrogation."

After soaking for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Fuguang's body was light and his bones were weak, and he couldn't use his strength.

Yingluo helped her wring out her hair, then took the ointment, rubbed it evenly in the palm of her hand, and massaged the eldest princess's muscles and bones.

Jiang Fuguang was about to refuse.

"Master Ji explained," Yingluo opened her mouth a step earlier, "The princess's muscles and bones are affected, and her body must be sore and uncomfortable. Massage the ointment once in the morning and evening, and she will be fine tomorrow."

Jiang Fuguang was a little speechless: "Hold the chicken feathers as arrows."

Yingluo also couldn't help laughing: "Master Ji also said that the eldest princess wants to finish the matter at hand as soon as possible and go to Xin'an County to check the disaster situation, but sharpening the knife is not the same as chopping firewood. You have adjusted your physical condition and deal with the matter. Come, it will get twice the result with half the effort, and there will be no delay."

Jiang Fuguang was speechless.

So, after the massage was over, when Yingluo came over with the medicinal food, she asked angrily, "Now, what did Mr. Ji say?"

Just like my elder brother, I always like to manage people.

Yingluo couldn't help laughing: "Young Master Ji cooks himself, and made fairy porridge, which has the effect of nourishing blood and calming nerves, nourishing yin and moistening stomach."

Immortal porridge is a Cantonese medicinal meal.

It is said that it has a miraculous effect on headaches, coughs, laziness, and weakness caused by wind and cold.

There are more than ten kinds of main ingredients in this porridge alone. Mr. Ji got up to cook the porridge when he was young, and she worked on it for an hour.
