Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 110 Doubt
That night!

The wing room in Laijia's main courtyard.

"Master... Master, please slow down!"

It's just that this request didn't seem to receive any response.

I don't know how long it has passed, but suddenly, two hearty voices came from the room.

"Master! That Ping'er is going back first. Grandma may have to wait impatiently!"

"Remember to deal with it first as I said!"

"Uncle! You are so bad! Do you want to take this opportunity to let me come here more times?"

Seeing that Ping'er was wrong, he smiled and said, "Uh! I do have this idea!"

An hour ago, Lai Shangrong came home from the Yamen and saw Ping'er waiting at home. After an hour of exchanging heart-to-hearts, he already knew the purpose of his visit.

Last night, Wang Xifeng learned from Jia Lian that the state-owned company produced glass and was jealous of the profits of the glass, so she asked Ping'er to invite him.

Although he was as greedy for Sister Feng's body as Jia Rui, he didn't want to be a dog-licker like him. After all, even dog-lickers would not end well.

However, this is also due to the fact that he is not lacking now. In terms of quantity alone, he can now be regarded as the No. 1 hairpin in this world!

It's a pity that Li Wan is the only one in the main volume, but Sister You, Qingwen and Xiangling are the most beautiful ones in the supplementary volume.

Now that Sister Feng has become obsessed with money and Jia Lian can't take care of her, she just takes the opportunity to take action.

However, with Wang Xifeng's character, he was afraid of not letting go of the eagle when he saw the rabbit. The sales of the glass workshop had already been sold to Tian Guojiu, and it was impossible for him to take away the glass produced privately.

I can only hang on first, find out what she wants, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

After sending Ping'er away, Lai Shangrong couldn't help but think of today's reward.

I thought I would at least be promoted to Yuanwai Lang, but I didn't expect that I was only rewarded with a nominal fifth-grade Duqi Lieutenant. If that was all, I also added a Chief Langzhong to the State-owned Department.

It's not that he disdains the title, it's just that he is in the civil service system after all, and for him, the title is just a false position and has no real power.

No wonder the emperor would say that he would remember it when he was wronged. It should probably be here.

Although because of Qin Zhong, Qin Ye is unlikely to restrict himself, but it revealed some weirdness to some extent.

Moreover, the emperor also asked him to arrange for Qin Ning and others to become shareholders. If he arranged for Qin Ye to be his boss, does he also know about his relationship with the Qin family?
…………

Beijing Palace.

Also confused are Beijing Wang and others.

In the side hall of Prince Jing's Mansion, Zhao Shangshu and Chai Shilang were present impressively.

Chai Qing said doubtfully: "Your Majesty! I can't figure it out because of my humble position. Why don't we just go with the flow and help Lai Shangrong become the head doctor? Isn't he born as a slave in the Rongguo Mansion?"

King Beijing muttered: "Last time when he improved the papermaking technology, Jia Zheng kept it a secret. Lai Shangrong also cheated Zhenguo Gong's family, and made a soap in partnership with Zhongshun Mansion and Tian Family. Does Jia Zheng know about this? You are talking about two things. What’s more, now that his family has a virtuous concubine, I should try to hide it as much as possible. "

Chai Qing immediately changed his expression and said, "Does it mean that the emperor already knows about the affairs of the Camp and Maintenance Department? So he transferred Qin Ye out for an excuse?"

King Beijing waved his hand and said with a smile: "He doesn't know anything about the Camping and Repairs Department. He just receives the filial piety money on time. If he knew, would Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion still need to beat around the bush like that? Mei Hanlin has only been to the Camping and Repairs Department for half a year, and what's more? He is alone, and besides, he is not willing to take risks after going to Qinye, so he should be absolutely safe."

Zhao Changhe stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Back then, the old prince and I also saw that he didn't know how to adapt to his behavior, so they deliberately hid it in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Unexpectedly, they saved less trouble."

Chai Qing asked doubtfully: "Then why did the emperor transfer Qin Ye? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? Did he really not see our plan?"

"Things happened so fast. I originally wanted to find a reliable candidate to take charge of the State Administration Department, so that Lai Shangrong could be in charge of the Administration Department, but I didn't expect that the emperor would choose Qin Ye."

Zhao Changhe pondered for a long time and said: "Perhaps it is because I saw it that I just followed the current!" "Oh?" King Beijing's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhao Shangshu: "Sir, please tell me!"

"It has been seven or eight years since the Emperor succeeded to the throne. Although most of the people in the court are still old ministers like me and the Supreme Being, the Emperor has great righteousness after all. In addition, the Supreme Being will have to delegate power sooner or later. In recent years, many people in various ministries have changed their direction. The Ministry of War will leave it for the time being. Not to mention, the emperor will not act rashly without the nod of the emperor, but the Ministry of Works is no problem. Although the State-owned Department has a big fat like glass, it is just an idle yamen after all. How can it be as important as the Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Works? "

Chai Qing said: "What your Excellency is saying is that if the Jia family has surrendered to the emperor, even if Qin Ye becomes the doctor in charge, and Lai Shangrong is in the state-owned department, it will not be a problem to keep the [-]% of the income from the royal treasury. If the Jia family does not If there is no change, it makes no difference whether there is Qin Ye or not. Instead, a camp and repair department was earned in vain!"

…………

Fengzao Palace.

While Empress Tian was rubbing Emperor Zhenglong's shoulders, she said, "Your Majesty! Today, I went to the Daming Palace to pay my respects. The Emperor and the Queen Mother were full of praise for the glass windows and praised the Emperor for his filial piety!"

"Hahaha! When I used Lai Shangrong, I just thought of it as a casual chess move. I didn't expect him to be quite capable. I heard that the soap was also made by him."

Queen Tian sighed: "All the servants in Sister Yuanchun's family are capable of such things. I guess she is also a beautiful person. No wonder the emperor looks at her in a different light!"

Emperor Zhenglong laughed and said, "It's hard to say for Zhong Lingyuxiu, but the clothes she made are indeed a bit special! I'll ask her to give two pieces to the queen to try on another day!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the queen, and whispered a few more words in his ear.

"Oh?" After hearing this, Queen Tian lowered her head and said, "Since the Emperor likes it, he should let all the sisters in the harem wear it when they go to bed!"

"The queen still wins my heart!"

…………

The next day!

Yuchun Court.

After getting up and getting dressed, Yuan Chun, who had just finished breakfast, heard the eunuch coming from outside to report.

"The Empress, please go over there!"

Yuan Chun didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly came to Fengzao Palace under the umbrella cover.

Before entering the Kunde Hall, I heard chattering inside. Apparently, in addition to the queen herself, there were also many invited concubines.

The eunuch waiting for the summons screamed.

"The virtuous concubine has an audience!"

It suddenly became quiet inside again, and after a while, the Queen's voice was heard.

"Come in quickly!"

Jia Yuanchun entered the hall, stepped forward and bowed deeply to Empress Tian: "The concubine has seen the empress."

"Quick and free!"

Queen Tian nodded slightly and signaled Jia Yuanchun to stand up and sit down.

After Yuanchun sat down, Queen Tian slowly said: "Serving the Emperor is the duty of our harem. Since my sister has good things, she should take them out and share them with her sisters."

Yuanchun was confused and said: "I don't dare to take care of myself, but I don't know what the empress is talking about?"

As soon as she said this, Concubine Wu said in a deep voice: "My sister is pretending to be the same. Since the Emperor likes those intimate clothes, how can you hide them?"

"This..." Yuanchun felt his head buzzing, and his face turned purple with embarrassment.
