Chapter 103 Invisible Contradiction
Since Princess Jinyang said that she would prepare it, it must have been prepared with gifts from Changning and Yixing. Qin Zhao felt relieved, stood up and gave his farewell, and then left Princess Jinyang's courtyard. Seeing his uncle Qin Huaiyu coming from the front yard, Qin Zhao hastily saluted, "Azhao has seen Uncle."

Because Qin Huaiyu loved Shan Nian a lot in the past, he was not treated as a sister-in-law, but as his own sister for 20 years. Qin Zhao is also his own niece, and she is cute and cute, even ordinary people like Her Royal Highness can hardly catch her eyes. Yes, they all have a lot of praise for this child. Although they have three daughters, they also like this niece when they see her. They also see that she is very disciplined during the salute. It is really not as embarrassing as a child who has lived in the country for a long time. He was a little more happy, thinking that the child was also pitiful, and his tone became softer: "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Yes, I have dinner with my aunt." This uncle is amiable, but after all, he is an elder and a man. Qin Zhao has never talked to him. In fact, the main reason is that in this palace, Although Qin Huaiyu is the man in charge of the family, she really doesn't need to please him. The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh. Even if something happens in the future, one side is a real brother, and the other side is a nephew and niece. Which side do you want him to choose?It's probably to settle with the mud.There is really no choice, he must not give priority to any side, and only choose the side that is more in line with the interests of the palace. After all, Qin Zhao can't get any great benefits from him, even if she doesn't please him, she will still His niece, the first daughter of the royal family, so Qin Zhao has always been calm towards this uncle.

But it is also this calmness and generosity that makes Qin Huaiyu like it.

Seeing her say a word, he stood there silently, Qin Huaiyu only smiled, and waved her away.

When Qin Huaiyu entered the courtyard, he was greeted by his own maid, and another maid guarding the porch announced to the house: "The prince is back."

Princess Jinyang stood up to greet her in the room: "Didn't you say someone from Langya County's family is here? Why did you come back so soon?"

Qin Huaiyu said with a smile: "Because Mrs. You is here too, she didn't share a table, and she just arrived today, the journey was tiring, and Mrs. You is getting old, so she can't drink much, so I left early."

"Mrs. You is here too?" Princess Jinyang wondered. Mrs. You is a lot younger than her own old concubine because she is the house of the old Langya County Lord, but she is nearly 70 years old now, and it is Anxiang. In the new year, why did you come to the capital after a long journey?

"Do you remember that next spring will be Lord Luo's [-]th birthday? Mrs. You said that because the weather is not too cold, she will come to the capital to stay for a while, meet old friends, and spend a new year. I wish old Duke Luo a birthday, and then I went back to Yanzhou, saying that I was getting older and could still move without rushing, and I was afraid that I would not have the chance to meet my old friends in the future."

Of course, this is only an official statement, and Princess Jinyang may not believe it, but although the You family said that the title is only the Duke of the county, they have an unusual relationship with the prince's mansion and those other mansions. It's something important, but Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything, Jin Yang just said: "If this is the case, our palace should also choose an auspicious day, and invite the old lady to come to the mansion to talk about it, so as not to worry about it."

"Naturally, Mrs. You also said that she will come to our house to visit mother in a few days." Qin Huaiyu took off his coat and handed it to the maid, then sent the maid out and sat down. Cai said, "Duke Langya is inconvenient to go out because of his official business. Mrs. You brought the second grandson of the You family here this time. I think the child is not bad. Because the child is not the eldest son, he cannot be the prince. I think Mrs. You The person who came to Beijing this time also wanted to find a source for the child."

The You family has not lived in the capital for a long time, so it is naturally far away from the center of power, and the new county magistrate's talent is not obvious, and he is just guarding the ancestral property to live. The eldest son has his own title to attack, but the other descendants can only find their own way out .In recent years, it is really relying on the help of these few families in the capital that they will not show signs of decline.

A meritorious family like them is different from the civil servant class. The civil servant class relies on recognition from fellow villagers, recommends each other, and forms a group among themselves.But these nobles of the capital are relatives in-laws who have supported each other for many years, forming a line of their own.

"I'm afraid the child hasn't said goodbye yet, right?" Jin Yang asked with a smile while handing over a cup of tea.

"I can't hide anything from you," Qin Huaiyu sipped his tea and said with a smile, "The old lady led her second grandson to Beijing, so naturally she wanted to make a close relationship, with the help of the capable Yue family, plus we Several families take care of him, and we don’t worry about the child’s future failure, and I think the child is calm and well-spoken, and he has the demeanor of an old county prince. It’s not in vain for the old lady to worry about him.”

You Junda, the old Duke of the county, used to be a big farmer in Yanzhou in the previous dynasty. He was a hero and righteous man. Later, he met Chen Zhijie, the Duke of Lu, and worshiped his brothers. The two brothers led the village, and they were so bold that they robbed their own house. The father of the old concubine, the prince of the previous dynasty sent him to Hegang in the middle of the capital. The uprising against the previous dynasty was started by these two brothers, and the curtain slowly opened.Because they were the earliest sworn brothers, Duke Lu's mansion treated You's family differently.That's why Mrs. You lived in Duke Lu's mansion when she came to Beijing.

"I think that child is not bad, and you can help me to see when I look back, and help me to see who has good daughters and is considered to be the right family." Qin Huaiyu continued.

Jin Yang, however, was slightly annoyed: "You know how to worry about other families. Our family, A Chen and A Xu, have also reached the age of marriage, and I have never seen you care about it. It is A Zhao, who will marry Ji in a few years. Now I have to look for it first.”

Qin Huaiyu was tickled by her coquettish look, pulled Jinyang over and hugged him on his lap, laughed loudly and said, "Just those few children in our family, why don't you worry about being a good family?" He lowered his voice, with some wine-scented ambiguity, "It's important that we still think about having a son."

Even though the husband and wife have been molested by him for many years, Jin Yang blushed, because he was still thinking about business, he struggled to get up from his arms, and said angrily: "I don't want to practice, let's talk about business first. I went to the palace today, father The emperor has promised to hand over the affairs of the Gyeonggi-do Youfang to our palace."

Regarding the matter of the oil workshop, Jin Yang had not discussed in detail with Qin Huaiyu before. Although Qin Huaiyu knew that his nephew had proposed the method of frying soybean oil that was making a fuss in the court, but he was in charge of the Ministry of War. He didn't care much about trifles, so he heard the words and said, "This method of frying soybean oil was originally submitted by Zhe'er. Now that the five prisons and nine temples have become like this, the Ministry of Households has all mixed in. If our palace Accepting this errand, wouldn't it be against Ah Zhe's original intention?"

Jin Yang scolded with a smile: "Are you worried about me? Have I ever done anything against the regulations? Don't worry, we only undertake oil workshops in several prefectures in Gyeonggi Province, and if this fried oil workshop is located in all parts of the country Its popularization in prefectures and counties depends on the successful opening of my Gyeonggi Oil Factory."

Then he told Qin Huaiyu in detail what he had discussed with Emperor Li in the palace.Qin Huaiyu has always been reassured by her, and in addition, this is indeed not a hindrance to his nephew, so he smiled and said: "That's fine. In the future, the palace will always belong to our eldest family, those who cannot be divided in the ancestral property, When the family is divided, we keep it for ourselves, and the rest, our family really doesn't have anything, so it's not easy for the second brother to have nothing to share in the future, if we can make some big gains, in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Yang got up, turned his face and said in a deep voice: "My lord is tired, I'll call someone to help you wash up."

Is this angry?
Qin Huaiyu hurriedly got up and pulled Jinyang: "I know you have some misunderstandings about the second brother, but he is my brother after all. As an elder brother, I don't care about him. Besides, the old concubine..."

Jin Yang sneered: "I believe that when I marry into the palace, I will be like a daughter-in-law of an ordinary family. I treat Ah Weng and the Ah family as my own father and mother, and treat my second brother as my own brother. Even Anian used to treat me like a real brother." If you are already a younger sister, I will treat my brothers and sisters, princesses and sisters, that's all there is to it, what do you want from me?"

Jin Yang swallowed the following words.In my heart, I didn't take Qin Huaiyu's words seriously.She didn't believe that Qin Huaiyu really had no idea about the matters of the second room.If he clearly knew what he had said just now, it would be too much to take for granted.The matter of the oil workshop is obviously due to Qin Zhe's contribution, so why should Qin Huai take advantage of it?
Qin Huaiyu also knew that Jinyang could do this because of the love between his husband and wife, and he didn't want him to do it too hard.Otherwise, with her dignity as the eldest princess, why should she be so careful?

However, the fact that the second younger brother Huaiyong married the Murong princess without telling him was really... But the matter has come to this point, the marriage of the two families is no longer a family matter, but involved in state affairs, but it is himself and Jinyang. Can't advance or retreat.It is inevitable that Jinyang will be unhappy.

"I know you have been wronged. I think the second brother will return to Beijing soon. As an elder brother, I should explain clearly to him. I will never make it difficult for you in the palace."

Only then did Jin Yang's face turn around, thinking about how much he had paid for this family and her difficulties after thinking about how much he had been married for many years.

It's just that he is Qin Huaiyong's biological elder brother, and he doesn't think much about it, but he doesn't know that even if Qin Huaiyong returned to the capital honestly, he may not stop. In the future, this palace that has been quiet for more than ten years may also be lively Woke up.

However, it was difficult for her to say these words, and seeing that he was smiling with him, and it was not easy to hold it, she also smiled lightly, and then talked about other things: "Azhao said that she didn't want to go to a women's school. Respond to her, give him a name in the imperial women's school after a year, and leave her at home to help me with general affairs. You are his uncle, and I will tell you when I hear. I will also persuade the concubine Two. Only you are not allowed to dismantle my platform when the time comes, as if I don’t want to raise your niece well.”

"What are you talking about? You and I have been married for many years, how can I not understand you?" Qin Huaiyu coaxed softly, and then asked, "Azhao doesn't go to school? Stay at home to help you with general affairs? This, this How to make it? She is only a little older?"

The side-by-side palace is prepared by a super-grade prince's palace. There is no shortage of preparations such as recorders joining the army, long history, and Dianjun. All affairs are handled by relevant subordinates. Where does she need a girl to help?
Jin Yang laughed: "It's also fortunate that you are the uncle of that girl. Don't underestimate your niece, our Azhao, you have a big heart, you think she can't handle general affairs? Don't say anything else, just pay In terms of business, even those who specialize in arithmetic in the Imperial Academy may not be able to reach her. Do you know that she only used a few days for our family's accumulated account books, and she reviewed them all for me? It only took four or five days. That's all! Not only that, but also pointed out a few mistakes to me, the mistakes are hidden, even the historian in our mansion, who is in charge of property, has not found out."

"This, really?" Qin Huaiyu asked in surprise.

The child has lived in the country for a long time, and her words and deeds do not lose everyone's demeanor. He only thinks that the person who adopted her has taught her well. He couldn't believe it anyway.

"When did I ever lie to you?" Jin Yang said, "I would rather this girl be my own. Speaking of which, even I have to admit that Ah Zhao is much better than Ah Chen and Ah Xu. If you don't believe me , I will show you this girl's ability to settle accounts later."

Although Qin Huaiyu didn't believe it, he also knew that Jinyang Wan didn't use this lie to lie to him, so he just smiled and said: "How can a family like us need her to be a girl? It's enough for a child to be sensible."

Jinyang thought to himself, isn't it just sensible?Your nephew and niece are all the best of the best, but they just smiled, and then talked about the oil workshop. Although Qin Huaiyu never cared about common affairs, he still needs to know a thing or two.Specific matters, such as the distribution of benefits, where the factory building of the oil workshop will be built, and how much money will be needed, etc., but the chief historian was called the next day, and the corresponding personnel were arranged to discuss the distribution.After the agreement was made, someone wrote a note and handed it to the saint.

Here, the husband and wife were gossiping, Qin Zhao and Qin Huaiyu left, but thought that although Her Royal Highness helped her ask for leave from the old concubine, it was still early, so she went to Rongshou residence to greet the old concubine, Only then did I return to Fucui Pavilion.

After washing up, lying on the bed, but thinking about Heizi and Ge Shu Minglang.

After thinking about it, he suddenly sat up from the collapsed bed, Zisu outside heard the movement, and hurriedly asked: "Does the princess want some tea?"

What kind of tea do you drink in the middle of the night?Qin Zhao said with a smile: "I just can't sleep for a while, I just think about something. It's the middle of the night, how can I fall asleep after drinking tea? You just sleep on yourself."

She didn't sleep, Zisu didn't dare to sleep, so he wanted to come in to talk with her, but was stopped by Qin Zhao. Only when Zisu had no voice, Qin Zhao lifted the curtain of the bed, looked at the faint moonlight outside, and said to himself: "Mr. His surname is also Geshu, and he is from the West Turks. The surname Geshu is not common, and it is only from the West Turkic Geshu family. Could it be that Mr. and Geshu Minglang have any relationship? People like Mr. A commoner who is not from the Geshu family must be born in the royal family, so they should have a close relationship with Geshu Minglang."

Thinking about it this way, he felt closer to Ge Shu Minglang and Ge Shuhao.Because brother Shu Minglang is very much like the person he missed when he was young in his previous life, he feels close, loves the house as much as Wu, and even brother Shu Shuhao feels close.And because Ge Shuhao is her husband, thinking about those two people or relatives, he feels that Ge Shu Minglang is also different from him, and feels closer.

When I see my husband in the future, I will always have to ask, and when I think that Ge Shuhao still doesn't know which mountain is wandering in, I can't help but sigh again.

Then she stretched out her finger again, thinking that there was a big gathering before the year, and all noble men and women in Beijing had to attend. Unfortunately, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and she didn't go hunting in the autumn. It turned out that there was no chance to see her except for the New Year. Ge Shu became clearer, and couldn't help but sigh again.I only hoped that Heizi would bring good news, maybe brother Shu Minglang would meet with me on a whim.

The next day, Princess Jinyang asked the officials in the mansion to discuss the matter of the oil workshop, and she also called Qin Zhao over.Qin Zhao thought she was just listening, but he didn't want the people in the study to discuss for a long time. When he asked Jin Yang to make up his mind, Jin Yang asked Qin Zhao: "Fuling, you have been listening for a long time, what do you think?"

Because of the presence of subordinate officials, Jin Yang called her by her title.

Qin Zhao didn't expect that she would ask his opinion in front of everyone. After a moment of surprise, seeing Jin Yang looking at him with encouragement, he thought for a while and said with a smile, "Ah Zhao doesn't understand the current prices, so I don't want to say much. To build a new house, Ah Zhao can help draw some blueprints."

She knows how to fry oil, how to save costs and improve efficiency. She has thought about how to build the factory many times, and she knows in her heart that Jinyang is paving the way for her to participate in the management of the oil factory in the future. There is no need to be humble.But she really doesn't understand the current prices, so she really doesn't talk much about the construction of the square house, the budget and so on, but she must be better than the officials sitting here to draw a blueprint of the factory.

The officials in the mansion, especially the chief historian, really did not expect that Jinyang would ask the opinion of the Princess of Fuling. You must know that the Princess of Fuling was originally a homeless person. It is said that she is inferior to the Princess of Changning and County of Yixing in the mansion. Not to mention, even compared to other aristocratic ladies in Beijing, I am afraid that they are still a bit worse, so what insight can she have?Therefore, I really can't think of the purpose of Her Royal Highness calling her to listen and asking her opinion.

Unexpectedly, after Princess Fuling said that she would draw the blueprints of the workshop, His Highness not only did not refuse, but also affirmed: "Well, you will be responsible for the blueprints, and I will not work for those sour people who will be in prison." .How long will it take to complete the drawings? Seeing that the weather is getting colder, the sooner the construction can start, the better."

Here, Qin Zhao didn't care about everyone's surprise, and just replied with a smile: "The draft can be made in three days, and it will be discussed with His Highness and other officials at that time. If there is any inappropriate adjustment, if it can be agreed, it will be completed The draft was completed in two days. With the blueprints, the officials can budget the cost of the oil workshop.”

It was only five or six days, Jin Yang nodded, sent everyone away, and left Qin Zhao to accompany her for lunch.

After lunch, Qin Zhaocai was about to leave and return to Fucui Pavilion to start sketching, when the maid reported that someone from the prime minister's residence had been sent to pick up Princess Fuling.

Qin Zhao didn't want to go, but he didn't say a word, because he knew that since she took on the job of drawing architectural drawings, Jinyang naturally wouldn't let her go and waste time.

Sure enough, Jin Yang helped her push, and then ordered the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion to send Changning and Yixing's family to come in two days.

In this way, in the next few days, Qin Zhao stayed in Fucui Pavilion to draw pictures besides greeting the old concubine in the morning and evening.On the third day, the sketch was completed, and the materials required by the city were listed, and then I took the drawings and material budget and went to the princess courtyard.

As soon as he was admitted to the hospital, he heard laughter coming from the main room: "...Mother, you don't know, this time Guo Wuniang of Guo Shilang's family is completely humiliated. That day my brother-in-law invited all countries to study in the Taixue. As a guest at the home of a foreign student who entered the school, it happened that Brother Shu Shizi also went. Guo Wuniang fell in love with Brother Shu Shizi. In the Taixue Women's School, everyone knows that it is our Imperial College for Imperial Women's School, and I have heard of it. Thinking of this, Guo Wuniang actually threw her into the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

It was Yixing who spoke, Qin Zhao outside the courtyard, when he heard Brother Shu Shizi, he stood there in a daze.She couldn't care less about the content of the gossip, but she was so regretful that she would have seen him at the prime minister's mansion, so what would she do with Lao Shizi's architectural plan?Aren't you full?If she didn't accept the sketch, wouldn't she also go to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a guest?In this way, will we be able to see Ge Shu Minglang?
But even if she is regretful, how can there be regret medicine in the world?
