Qin Zining took the handkerchief and wiped her hands. She took the snacks on the table and ate them in small bites. While eating, she listened to Ye Lan talk about the Jiang family.

"Miss, Mrs. Jiang's life is really difficult now. I didn't know that the Jiang family was so indifferent between the legitimate and the legitimate.

The Jiang family treats the young lady from Yongning House so badly, are they really not afraid that Yongning House will cause them trouble? "

Qin Zining chuckled lightly, "Isn't it surprising that you can raise a son like Jiang Tianming? Needless to say, you know that the Jiang family's tutoring is not strict?
The Jiang family only became prosperous after Mr. Jiang obtained the imperial examination. Mrs. Jiang was married in his hometown before Mr. Jiang obtained the imperial examination.

Mr. Jiang still has a conscience and has not divorced his wife who is a loser.

It's just that Mrs. Jiang's vision is really bad. She thought that the Yongning House made Zheng Yanyan lose face when Zheng Yanyan got married, so she really didn't care about Zheng Yanyan, and she could torture Zheng Yanyan at will. .

I can only say that she doesn't understand the styles of these aristocratic families in Beijing.

Even if the Yongning Household was angry again, she, Zheng Yanyan, was bullied too hard in the Jiang family, and it was not just she, Zheng Yanyan, who lost face.

Look! Yongning Bofu will come forward soon. "

Yelan chuckled softly, "Whether the Yongning residence comes forward or not, Mrs. Jiang has lost her face this time. I think she will be able to live in peace for a while."

Qin Zining said nonchalantly: "I don't care what happens to Zheng Yanyan. I have already paid her back for all her schemes against my eldest sister. How she will live the rest of her life is her own business.

I am more concerned about Mr. Jiang. Over the years, he has benefited a lot from his position as Minister of Civil Affairs.

In the official information that my fourth uncle wrote to me previously, he was not highly rated. I sent someone to check him out, and found out a lot of things.

This time, the affairs of the Jiang family's inner house have been widely spread. We can take this opportunity to give Jiang Shangshu a reputation for being lax in running the family.

Although he cannot be made to step down from the position of minister, it is still possible to let him have a meal and hang out. "

Qin Zining returned to Beijing this time and has been secretly investigating the details of the ministers in Beijing.

Only by finding out the details of these people can we know who is available.

The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the appointment of officials in the court, and is the head of the six departments. Qin Zining naturally had to check the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in detail, but the results she found were really disappointing to her.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War was already a member of the Holy Emperor, so she could not stay. She had to arrange for an upright and selfless person to go there, so Chang Lin appeared.

Although this Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is not a member of the Holy Emperor, this Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is also someone who cannot be retained.

Jiang Shangshu has not been greedy for money these years!

The imperial examination was held to select the pillars of the imperial court. However, when these talented people who passed the imperial examination were sent to serve as officials, if they wanted to be local officials in a good place, they had to provide benefits to Shangshu Jiang.

For example, those from poor families who cannot afford heavy gifts can only work as local officials in places with poor conditions. Some of them cannot even get into the ranks of county magistrates and can only become county magistrates.

And the county magistrate who is weighing on them is probably the official who donated the money. How sad!
If all the officials in the imperial court are people who rely on money to donate their official positions, then the future of the imperial court will be really worrying!

Qin Zining thought about it and said to Ye Lan, "Go and ask around to see if anyone from the Yongning residence has gone to the Jiang family?"

"Yes, servant girl, let's inquire now."

After Yelan went down, Qin Zining finished the snacks in her hands, then stood up and took Bai Dan to her eldest sister's side.

Walking all the way there, red silk has been hung everywhere in the mansion. Every room in the Qin mansion has been very busy recently. The marriage of the eldest brother Qin Zezhao has also been finalized. Because he is the eldest of the Qin family, the wedding date of Qin Xiangning and others is approaching. Qin Zezhao wants to have the wedding before Qin Xiangning's wedding. But Princess Suihua was so busy that she lost her head.

Fortunately, Mrs. Changpinghou didn't want Chen Waner to stay in a wolf's den like Changpinghou Mansion, so she didn't obstruct the marriage.

The Marquis of Changping, on the other hand, had been particularly enthusiastic since he learned that the Qin family wanted to marry Chen Waner. His attitude really made Qin Zining uneasy, so he had people keep a close eye on him.

As long as he has contact with Sister Wan'er, he must be careful.

Fortunately, in a few days it will be the wedding of the eldest brother and sister Wan'er.

Qin Xiangning's wedding is five days after Qin Zezhao's wedding, so her courtyard is also full of joy.

Before she got married, Qin Xiangning had some free time. The second lady couldn't bear to leave her, so she often called her over to talk to her.

No, Qin Zining came to look for her, but she was not in his courtyard, but with the second lady.

When the maid saw Qin Zining coming, she was about to inform Qin Xiangning, but was stopped by Qin Zining.

"There's no need to ask eldest sister to come back. Let her spend more time with Second Aunt. I'll just wait here for her to come back."

Although the eldest sister is married in Beijing, marrying someone here is different from being married at home.

Even if the eldest lady of the Yongning House is reasonable and does not interfere too much with the eldest sister's return to her parents' home, after getting married, the eldest sister will always have her own chores to be busy with, and it is impossible for her to go home all the time.

It's not as convenient for the second aunt to see her now, so it's better not to disturb the close relationship between mother and daughter.

Qin Xiangning stayed with the second lady until she was about to take a nap before returning to the courtyard.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he saw Qin Zining, "When did the third sister come? Why didn't anyone call me?"

Qin Zining smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. It doesn't matter if I wait for you for a while. I guess you will come back when the second aunt is ready for her lunch break. I thought it wouldn't be long before anyone called you."

The second lady has a habit of taking a lunch break, and everyone in the family knows that.

Qin Xiangning sat down at the table with a smile, "Yes, mother just went to take a nap, I thought she would have to sleep for a while, so I came back to the courtyard.

Third sister, why are you here looking for me? "

Qin Zining nodded slightly and signaled to Bai Dan and the other maids to go out first, and then she said, "Eldest sister, has the eldest lady of Yongning House invited you out again?"

Since Qin Xiangning's marriage was settled, the eldest lady of Yongning's Mansion occasionally asked Qin Xiangning out, sometimes for an outing outside the city, sometimes to watch a polo match.

Anyway, she just wanted to let the other ladies in the house understand that she was very satisfied with Qin Xiangning, her daughter-in-law who had not married yet.

Qin Xiangning shook her head slightly, "I haven't asked you out of the house these days. Why does the third sister ask this?"

Qin Zining pursed her lips slightly and said, "The eldest lady who wants to come to Yongning Uncle's Mansion is not in the mood to ask eldest sister out for fun these days."

As he spoke, Qin Zining told Qin Xiangning about Zheng Yanyan, and finally told Qin Xiangning, "Sister, if Mrs. Yongning has invited you out, if anyone else hears about the Jiang family, they will Sister, please don’t talk about it.”
