The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 108 Gentle and Tired (4)
Gong Qinglan was startled, Gong Qingya was married to Qi Shaoheng in her previous life.Now, with the changes, she still married him.It's just that I don't know how rampant she can be in this life?
"This...isn't appropriate? After all, uncle, he is a serious son..." Gong Qinglan didn't say the second half of the sentence. Qi Chan is a transparent person, how could she not understand?
"Nephew and daughter-in-law are smart people. With her bearing, it can be seen that the Gong family is very well-educated, comparable to those ladies in the capital. Come to think of it, your third sister is not far behind." Qi Chan smiled Changed the topic: "I came to Yanbei this time because a major event happened in Beijing. Your second old master is a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion in Beijing. This year, he will be promoted and moved to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, from the second rank to the second rank." After a pause, Looking around carefully, seeing no one, he lowered his voice and said: "The further you get to the back, the harder it is for this official to be promoted. The second old man has been in the cabinet for ten years. This opportunity is rare. He just needs to manage a lot of money. Foreign officials clear up."

Gong Qinglan didn't understand these official affairs, and Qi Chan said that listening to her was nothing more than playing the piano to a cow, but he understood her intentions, and wanted their eldest wife to give money to the second old man.

"Auntie, you also know that my husband wants to mine the salt fields, and put a lot of money in it. When the family is separated, I don't have much spare money on hand, so I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket." Gong Qinglan didn't go around the circle, and said what was in her heart.

How could Qi Chan retreat because of her words?

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, I've made it clear to you. The Qi family will move to the capital in a few years. Jing Feng is doing business everywhere, so it is absolutely necessary to use connections. Why don't you go through your own family's way to take advantage of others? After all, it is from the same line, so the second old master will naturally turn to Jing Feng." Qi Chan then explained the stakes, if there is no strong relationship in the capital, there is no way to gain a foothold. "Right now, the second old lady is also taking care of the Qi family's business. If the officialdom is well managed, it won't cost much money. When the promotion is successful, won't the money roll in like snowflakes?"

Gong Qinglan sneered in her heart, Qi Chan was painting cakes for her to satisfy her hunger.

There are ups and downs in the officialdom, who knows what will change in the next moment?
What's more, the family has been separated for decades, who knows if they hold grudges against the old lady?
Gong Qinglan closed her eyes and pondered. The second old master was a cabinet scholar and was closest to the emperor, but he didn't have much real power.If he was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, this official position of the second rank... A thought came into his mind, and he planned to hand over this matter to Feng Ming.

"Auntie, I have no control over this matter. When my husband comes back, I will discuss it with him." Gong Qinglan practiced Tai Chi.

Seeing this, Qi Chan sighed and said: "Nephew and daughter-in-law should think about this matter carefully, the opportunity is rare, and it is definitely a great kindness for you to send charcoal in a timely manner."

"Understood." Gong Qinglan agreed.

Qi Chan knew not to be in a hurry, so she found an excuse and left.

After a while, Xu Niang came to ask Gong Qinglan to visit Wutong Garden.

Gong Qinglan was taken aback, she really didn't have time to pay her respects these few days, so she delayed.I don't know if my mother sent someone over suddenly, what's the matter?

Putting it away for a while, Gong Qinglan followed Xu Niang to the Wutong Garden with the gilt-silver incense burner and the cloisonné enamel hand stove.

Xu Niang's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but think deeply when she saw Gong Qinglan's complexion was not good, and she was dressed more than ordinary people.

When they arrived at Wutong Garden, Xu Niang let Gong Qinglan in, and she left.

Gong Qinglan opened the curtain and went in. The room was so clear and cold that she shivered.

The eldest lady looked at Gong Qinglan's clothes, raised her eyebrows, and asked with a little concern: "But you are not feeling well?"

"My daughter-in-law caught the wind and cold, and made my mother laugh." Gong Qinglan bowed and saluted, and sat down on the embroidered pier beside the eldest lady: "Mother invited my daughter-in-law here today, but is there something important?"

There was a faint smile on Da Furen's face, and she took the initiative to hold Gong Qinglan's hand for the first time, and said kindly: "You are not a sincere child, Feng'er gave me a message, you have cured his poison. Yes, yes." According to that eminent monk back then, Feng'er would marry a noble man, and his illness would be cured."

Gong Qinglan said seriously: "Mother, the husband supports the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law should treat the husband's illness."

Husband and wife should support each other.

The eldest lady nodded in satisfaction, and took out a letter from the box: "This is a letter from your second grandpa in Kyoto, who intends to promote him, but they don't have enough money to deal with it. If you have spare money, send it to the second grandpa. "

Gong Qinglan was taken aback, she never expected that the lady would also say this.He pondered and said: "Mother, just now my aunt came to discuss this matter with my daughter-in-law, but my daughter-in-law refused her at that time." If she turned around and took out the money, she might have become enemies with Qi Chan again.

There was surprise in Da Furen's eyes: "She has returned home? Hmph, I have made an idea on your heads. Don't listen to her, you have given her the money, and all the credit will go to her when the time comes. It will offend the second old man." The eldest lady frowned, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said: "Your second old man is a good man, the old lady refused to give him the property that belonged to him back then. He said that he has an official position, so why bother to rob them for money? Your second old man has always upheld the harmony of the family, so he gave up the family property and gave it to you...Father. It is strictly forbidden to pass on the share that belongs to him. , took his meager belongings, and went to Beijing. Now, he sent a letter to ask for help, and he is definitely in trouble. If you can help, you can help. The second old lady is a person who values ​​affection. If there is no accident, you can come Sometimes you can’t tell if you have to rely on him.”

Gong Qinglan understood that at that time the Elder Master had already taken the concubine and concubine back to the mansion.I'm afraid it's the property left to Qi Jingfeng. "So, it's time to help."

Seeing that Gong Qinglan was sensible, the eldest lady was very pleased: "Feng'er is lucky to marry you."

Gong Qinglan smiled: "Mother wants to move out and live with us? My second uncle is going to get married soon." After a pause, he added: "It's the niece of the old lady's family."

The eldest lady's face darkened, and she waved her hands: "I'll go out after you give me a fat grandson."

"Mother!" Gong Qinglan lowered her head shyly, her pale face did not show any blush.

After chatting for a few words, they left.

After a few days, the concubine of Jinyang Prince's Mansion handed over an invitation card.

Gong Qinglan thought for a while, then calmed down.Wearing bright satin with poppy poppies, pink and purple trim, and a pink mink fur jacket with a long skirt, the pale cheeks are set off, and the face is like peaches and plums, but because of the sickness between the eyebrows, it is very charming.

Sitting in a carriage, I arrived at Jinyang Prince's Mansion.

Today is the wine of the full moon, the son of Chu Xiaoran, the second son of King Jinyang, and he has never had any contact with him. Gong Qinglan was a little puzzled when he suddenly sent an invitation today.
