green bamboo dream

After cursing Hanqiu a few words, he opened the curtain and went in again.

"Miss..." As soon as she entered the door, she was startled by the figure standing by the window.

Tang Yuyao was only wearing a white undershirt, she didn't know whether it was cold or angry, she was trembling all over, and the eyes she looked at Mo Biao were so cold that she could shoot ice picks.

"If you envied Hanqiu, why didn't you ask the old lady to serve Yuyao?" Throwing down these words forcefully, Tang Yuyao walked in with her hands.

Another one who wants to climb high

She clenched her fists irritably, her nails digging deep into the flesh of her palm.

Tang Yuyao, you won... You snatched a good marriage, and met a shrewd and ignorant mother-in-law. Now even the maids in my house want to curry favor with you...

To the extreme, tears rolled down.

She has been jealous of her second sister since she was a child... Obviously she was born by the same father, why she has two dimples, why she was the only one who was taught by her father when she was young, and when relatives came, the first thing they saw was only two dimples. Sister, there is only one word for her, "Sister is so outstanding, no wonder my sister is also good-looking."

As for the marriage with the Kong family, she knew about it when she was nine years old, it was revealed by her father inadvertently when she was drunk, and it happened that the maid serving tea often came to her yard to eat "tea fruit", so she secretly told her about it.

After hearing the news, she never let go of her concern. Who knows when the Kong family will come to propose the marriage contract?

She can't wait to die... But she is just a lady in the inner house, it is not easy to stop such a thing after much deliberation, father is definitely not willing to marry this kind of marriage with the Kong family, if it damages the second sister's reputation, she can't agree For other families, it would be perfect to marry into the Kong family - anyway, when they got engaged, they only said that they wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, so why can't the Kong family still criticize?

She knows that her father is shrewd, if she loses one daughter, she must marry the other one

Anyway, it took a few years to spread money openly and secretly, Xu Yiyi accumulated some manpower, and the second sister also reached the age of marriage, so she asked them to spread some specious words, especially for those who were interested in the second sister and wanted to hire her back as a daughter-in-law People, when those old wives and wives sent people to quietly inquire about the behavior of Miss Tang's second daughter, most of the things they heard were not good...

I am looking forward to it, I am getting married gradually, without a mother, and my grandmother is not good, but also weird and dirty... She must plan for herself

It's a pity... After all, people are not as good as God

She kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, curled herself up under the quilt, and stubbornly wiped away the tears on her face...

No one can do anything to her, the Tang family still needs face, and the father still wants to deal with the Kong family, then he will not be hurt at all... So what if Hanqiu is found out, the married daughter splashed out water, and the water was thrown out. The thing is that Tang Yuyao didn't train the maid well, so what does it have to do with her unmarried sister...

Mo Mo stood there in a daze, her eyes were red with grievances, the young lady has always been gentle and gentle, when did she speak ill of her, and even called the second young lady's name directly... stomping her feet, wanting to leave, Seeing Pingping Tingting approaching Hanbi suddenly, he couldn't help but sneer, "Yo, who is this, he just came here now, all the work is done."

Hanbi bowed her head and didn't answer, she looked like she was being scolded, but Mo Ba couldn't express her anger, she gave her a hard look, stomped her feet and left.

Tang Jiuyou didn't know what happened in the backyard. At this moment, he was leading his eldest son Hou in the private room on the top floor of Fanlou, waiting anxiously.

"Father, why isn't Master Lin coming?" Tang Ming wore a royal blue brocade robe inlaid with silver thread moiré, his thick eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were piercing, his tall body was very strong and powerful, he had been waiting for a long time After a while, dissatisfaction was evident on his face.

Tang Jiuyi picked up the teacup made of Dehua white porcelain painted with hundreds of flowers, took a sip, and suppressed his uneasiness and said, "Be patient too. We came early, so we have to wait."

"...I really don't know, what's the use of asking Mr. Lin for this matter?"

"You bastard, if you can't get rid of your arrogant temper, you will suffer sooner or later." Tang Jiuyou was already irritable, but now he was even more impatient, and said angrily, "Do you think these civil servants can't lift their shoulders If you can't carry it, you can deal with it, how many times have I told you, you can make trouble as you like in the army, but I will show respect to those insidious guys."

Just as he was teaching, footsteps came from outside, Tang Jiuyou hurriedly got up to meet him with a smile on his face.

"Master Lin."

It was indeed Lin Yuanzhi who came in from outside the door, dressed in ochre-colored uniforms. He smiled and cupped his hands, and said politely, "Mr. Tang has been troubled to wait for a long time. There is a reason for the matter. Mr. Shang Shu has some important matters to explain at the moment, so we have been delayed for a while. I hurriedly changed my official uniform and came here... I hope I won't see any crime."

"It's okay, Quanzi and I have just arrived."

Hearing the footsteps again, dozens of charming women appeared at the door, all wrapped in soft silk, with eyes like autumn water, jade hairpins perched on luan, and slender hands holding red lacquer food boxes. The signature dish——on the wooden table of chicken wings, there are rare treasures from the sea and mountains;

It's a pity that no one was in the mood to look at beautiful women, so they quickly dismissed it.

The two exchanged pleasantries before sitting down to talk.

"What I said last time, I don't know... how you think about it. If you have any good ideas, I hope you can give Brother Yu some advice."

Lin Yuanzhi moved the wine glass aside calmly, and said with a smile, "I don't dare to take it for a good opinion. After thinking about it, I get something occasionally. Just listen to it. It's better to make up your own mind."

"That's it, that's it." Tang Jiuyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, motioned for the eldest son to pour the wine, and pretended to be listening attentively.

Lin Yuanzhi thought to himself, although the second son is a general, he is actually a smart man.

Knowing that today's purpose is just to make himself express his opinion, he didn't hesitate, "People don't want to kill the world for themselves, so why should Mr. Tang bother himself."

Seeing Lin Yuanzhi's smiling eyes, Tang Jiuyou's heart brightened. The Lin family agreed, and overjoyed, he couldn't help asking, "The empress dowager..."

"Hey, Master Tang got drunk before drinking." Lin Yuanzhi's smile remained undiminished, but his eyes couldn't be more serious, "The Empress Dowager eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism, and has a kind heart. Why bother her with such mundane things."

Tang Jiuyou was a little disappointed, but he still kept his expression steady. Even so, it was good news. He could let go and prepare for the next thing...

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." After thinking about it, his brows eased, and he was courteous again and again, "I prepared in a hurry, and I don't know Master Lin's taste..."

"Hey, I don't care that much." Lin Yuanzhi swept the dishes on the table, didn't have much appetite, ate a few chopsticks casually, and said goodbye and went back because he still had some errands to finish.

In the inner study, Lin Zongyan was flipping through a book, and when he saw Lin Yuanzhi coming in, he put down the book and saluted.

"Sit down"

Rubbing the center of his brows, Lin Yuanzhi sat behind the desk with huanghuali carved ganoderma patterns, a little tired.

Lin Zongyan sat up straight and was about to speak when he heard the voice of a little maid outside, "Master, Madam ordered the kitchen to make soup, and ordered the servants to bring it."

There were smiles in the two pairs of very similar black eyes in the room.

"Oh, bring it in... By the way, what kind of soup are you making?"

The little maid straightened her waist and said loudly, "Madam said that if the master drinks alcohol, he should drink the hangover soup from the bowl on the left, and if he doesn't drink alcohol, he should drink the chicken skin and sour bamboo shoot soup from the bowl on the right, so as to relieve the greasy food."

Lin Yuanzhi shook his head with a smile, took the tureen on the right, and drank half of the bowl in one go.

After sending the little girl back to do business, Lin Yuanzhi continued, "I called you here because I wanted to ask you something... Do you know that there is a man named Lu Haoran in the Imperial Academy?"

Lin Zongyan got an impression after thinking about it, "There is such a number one person, and he is the son-in-law of General Feng."

"What is this person doing?"

"His teaching in the Hanlin Academy is the cabinet minister Ning Jie Ning, and it is said that he has a lot...the knowledge of helping the world." Lin Zongyan thought about it carefully and affirmed.

There are quite a lot of stories about this Lu Haoran. He didn't ask for it himself, but many people talked about it in front of him.

A person from a good family background is not as talented as him, and a background whose talent surpasses his is not as strong as his... I think he will be a character in the future.

However, it is obviously impossible to get his father's attention just by doing this. Lin Zongyan frowned slightly and asked, "Old General Feng is going to push him up?"

A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Lin Yuanzhi's eyes, and he nodded his head as acquiescence, "It's a pity..."

"Old General Feng's body is over, and before he leaves, he wants to leave a family for the old and weak, women and children to rely on... Otherwise, when people leave the tea, he is just a little good man, how long will he have to wait until he wants to survive?" Lin Lin Yuanzhi has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he is very clear about the relationship inside.

"It's a pity...what's the reason?" Since Old General Feng used his last strength to recommend him and took a shortcut, isn't it a blessing? What's the pity?

Lin Yuanzhi looked at his elder son lovingly, and explained patiently, "You have been in the Imperial Academy for so many years, and today I will talk to my father... In your opinion, what is the biggest problem with the current government? "

"The national treasury is empty... Hidden tax evasion, the dispute between the chief and the assistant... The officials are too complicated..." Lin Zongyan said that his face became more and more ugly. Some problems are linked together and rotten to the heart.

"The national treasury is indeed a big problem. Anyone can see... Do you have a solution?" The money stolen from corrupt officials is just a drop in the bucket. In fact, there is not much left after the disaster relief. This big deal needs to be dealt with... But the emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, and it is not easy to increase taxes at will for the sake of reputation, forcing the emperor to send out the maids.

Lin Zongyan shook his head, stood up and walked to the table, "If you don't change it again, there is no other way."

"But the person who is the emperor's arm will end up..." Lin Zongyan's eyes widened when he said this - if it is said that the people who have suffered the worst end in history are rebels, then it is a reform.

Lin Yuanzhi's face was indifferent, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, "What are you doing so surprised? The emperor just has this wish. Then Lu Haoran has one more chance to refuse... only one time" (To be continued. If you like this movie Works, you are welcome to subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation.)
