Chapter 268 Aunt is sick

Xie Peng took the file and walked to the veranda, just in time to see the two smiling and whispering at the door.

The light of the lanterns under the door is dimly reflected, which is quite a night scene.

Liang Xiaoqing, who was carrying a dustpan, came to him and followed him.

Xie Peng turned around, not guarding against someone behind him, and stepped on her toes.

Liang Xiaoqing jumped up clutching her toes, and the dustpan fell to the ground.

Xie Peng picked it up and asked her, "What are you looking at here?"

Liang Xiaoqing was not convinced: "What are you looking at here?"

Xie Peng said nothing, he stuffed the dustpan to her, and left.

Yang Su waited until there was no more movement at the street corner before returning to the hall.

Qin Lu Xie Peng was already in the hall.

"The case has been sorted out, but it will be submitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow morning?" Qin Lu submitted it.

Yang Su turned around and looked, the gentleness that he had in front of Changying all faded away at this moment, and his face was replaced by a cold face. "It's useless. Let the Metropolitan Procuratorate take care of it. Li Zhiyi's death can be found out.

"The time limit for the East Palace's self-examination is approaching. When Yang Ji returns to the court, he will definitely make trouble again. If you have this time, go and watch the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry."

Xie Peng said: "Ministry of Industry?"

"In the eight policies that Changying gave us, it includes the news of the Yellow River in the spring next year. The two lakes will receive more rain in spring and summer, and there will be floods from time to time. We will take down this political achievement at that time.

"And I recently received news that there seems to be some unclear accounts under the name of Yan Xiwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry. If it is really greedy, then it is time to find someone to take him on."

Taking the position of the right servant can not only make the work of flood control go smoothly, but also eliminate hidden dangers.

Xie Peng said: "Do we have anyone who can take up this position?"

Qin Lu shook his head. "We have no shortage of military commanders, but we haven't been involved in the civil affairs of the major yamen. Nowadays, most of the civil servants are attached to the Gu family. Even if they remain neutral, they may not be reliable.

"If you already have the handle on the right servant Yan Xiwen, it's not difficult to take him down. Recently, there have been quite a few Qing people who have taken the initiative to join us, but there is currently a shortage of qualified scholars to join the battle."

After all, it has only been three months since Yang Su returned to Beijing, so there are some things that cannot be rushed.

Yang Su said: "It's not necessarily necessary to ask your confidants to check the details of the officials under the Ministry of Industry."

Qin Lu said: "Does the lord want to pick someone up from the Ministry of Industry?"

Yang Su sat down at the dining table and said nothing.

How unrealistic it is to want to control the entire court with the power of a confidant, and if you do it ruthlessly, you will become the second Dongtinghoufu. As long as the Donggong is not down, too much publicity will be counterproductive, and the emperor may not be happy to see him covering the sky with one hand.

So it doesn't matter whether the person in charge is his confidant or not, as long as he can cannibalize Yang Ji step by step, why should he handle things? It's people or ghosts.

……

The incident at the gate of the city quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys. When Rong Yin entered the city, the people gathered had dispersed, and Fu Rong and Feng Shaoyin, who were returning to the city, followed and stopped.

Shao Yin said: "Tang Jian won't be able to come out for a while."

Even the clothes were burned for fear of being recognized by others. One can imagine the secret behind this person.If Tang Jianruo came out, he might be able to save his life.

Fu Rong sighed: "Let him stay in prison for now, and he will have a long memory if he suffers a little bit."

Rong Yin looked at the empty wall, but frowned and did not make a sound.

After parting ways and going back to the mansion, Rong Yin went into the study room first, and after sitting for a while, he summoned Rong An, the chief follower: "How are the affairs of the Yu family handled?"

Rong An bowed: "Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle have no stains. The second uncle's dereliction of duty has been proved, and the matter of collusion with the salt merchant is still under surveillance."

"how much longer?"

"...at least three months before a conclusion can be reached."

Rong Yin was silent, and before he could speak, someone came in again: "Ke'er has something to see."

Rong Yin looked at the door, and Ke'er walked in lightly: "My aunt is probably sick, and she has been in a bad mood for several days."

Ever since she got mad at her last time, Rong Yin will not have been in Qiutong Courtyard for a month.Hearing this, he stood up: "Have you ever consulted a doctor?"

Ke'er walked and said, "I never asked for a doctor, and I had to report to my wife when I asked for a doctor. My wife is not in a good mood these days. My aunt said there is no need to alarm."

Rong Yin slowed down and glanced at her.

Enter the room directly.The person in the gauze tent was lying on his side, and the quilt was raised a little.He sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch her forehead, which was normal.

Turn her around gently and look at her carefully, but it doesn't look like she is sick?She slept soundly and sweetly, her small mouth was rosy and rosy, and she seemed to have gained a lot of weight.

Rong Yin looked at her for a while, then stretched out his hand to pinch her chin: "Coax me over and pretend to be asleep again?"

But the person who was pinched did not open his eyes, and even made a slight cry, making people feel that this was really a good night's sleep.

Rong Yin looked at Ke'er.

Ke'er hurriedly said: "My aunt has not been very energetic these few days, she always feels sleepy at every turn, sometimes she has no appetite, and sometimes she eats a lot.

"Recently, she has been going to Shen's house a lot. I don't know if she was worried about General Shen's injury. She vomited when she came back that day, and she cried a few times afterwards."

Was Rong Yin the one who came here? He was silent for a while, and said, "How long has it been?"

"That's before and after General Shen's accident."

Rong Yin counted the days, the arena was Chongyang, and not long before that time he was still with her every day.

He stretched out his hand to caress Fu Xiuxiu's face, and then gently moved his hand to her lower abdomen, his eyes became gentle: "How long will Yuexin be?"

"...Auntie's monthly letter is not always accurate. I came at the beginning of the month last month, and I haven't come in almost two months." Ke'er said, and suddenly thought of something, and a light jumped in her eyes, "Auntie She, she..."

Rong Yin's eyes fell on Xiuxiu's face for a long time, and he said in a low voice, "Don't say anything."

Ke'er jumped up: "Yes!"

……

Rong Yin walked out of the room, returned to the study and called Rong An: "From now on, take care of the main room."

Rong An leaned over.

Rong Yin waved him to go down, sat there for a while, and then returned to Qiutong Courtyard.

Xiuxiu woke up in the morning and heard from Ke'er that Rong Yin had been here at night, so she continued to put earrings on her ears after saying "oh".

For several days in a row, Mrs. Yu fought with Rong Biru. She was not in good spirits, and she couldn't find an opportunity to go out. At least last night, the silence in the front yard allowed her to sleep well and her spirits were better. She had to go back and relax. home to see.

Ke'er looked at her and hesitated to speak.Finally, he choked out a sentence: "Why don't you go back? I think the master's face was not very good last night."

Xiuxiu said: "I'll come back as soon as I go, just don't make a big deal of it."

Rong Yin never issued a ban every time she went out, and she didn't think his bad face was because of her going out.

What's more, he hasn't come to her recently, presumably he was also discouraged by her, even if he came back, he might not enter her room.

Ke'er had no choice but to agree with her.

Xiuxiu brushed her clothes in front of the mirror, went out to the verandah, and the servant girl Ruyi came to meet her: "My aunt is going out, let's make a detour, the wife in the front yard has guests today, I'm afraid it's not easy to leave."
