Chapter 59
The news that Ling Zhu was conferred the title of baron by the emperor quickly spread in the capital. Although Ling Zhu's appointment as a baron had already been foreshadowed, no one expected that the emperor would confer him a first-class baron?How many levels has this passed?Fortunately, Ling Zhu's official position has not been promoted, otherwise wouldn't it make people more jealous?But no matter what these people thought, Ling Zhu's house was still full of people who came to congratulate him.Ling Zhu, Dong Shi, and Qi Luo were very busy due to the large number of congratulatory people, and the servants at home were even more tired. Although the servants felt tired, everyone was very happy. their benefits?So none of these servants complained, they just tried their best to do what Ling Zhu's family explained.However, as Kangxi rewarded more and more meritorious personnel for the military parade ceremony, Ling Zhu was no longer so dazzling, and the number of people who came to Ling Zhu's house to follow others gradually decreased, and most of them were good friends Ling Zhu made in ancient times.Only then did Ling Zhu feel at ease, and slowly began to enjoy the joy brought about by his title.

Some people are happy while others are naturally worried. The news that Ling Zhu was made a baron was a big blow to Ling Cheng's family.The two families are relatively close to each other, the bustling scene in Ling Zhu's mansion is in stark contrast to the desolation in Ling Cheng's mansion.It also caused the old lady and Dong E's to lament again and again. After all, they and Ling Zhu's family were close to falling out. Now that they were asked to put down their bodies and go along with it, Dong E's felt that it was really embarrassing, so Dong E's sent someone to Ling Zhu. The family sent many expensive gifts, and did not congratulate their daughter in person under the pretext that they were busy preparing for the election.

Ever since the news that Qi Zhen used Chu Yan to entangle the eighth elder brother spread, Ling Cheng was very dissatisfied with Dong E's, and he no longer slept in her room as before, but spent most of his time in the concubine except for socializing. room in the room.So when Dong Eshi saw Ling Cheng's arrival, he was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly said happily, "Master is here, may I pour you a cup of tea?" After speaking, he began to get busy.

Ling Cheng looked at Dong Eshi and said calmly, "Don't be too busy, I just want to ask you something." Dong Eshi's face darkened when he heard Ling Cheng's words, and he sat beside Ling Cheng and said softly, "Master Is there anything to order?"

"I came here this time mainly to talk about Ling Zhu. No matter what, I am Ling Zhu's cousin. Now that he is prosperous, he can't forget his relatives. If it weren't for Qi Zhen, our two families wouldn't have quarreled." It’s so stiff. I won’t say anything superfluous, but now there are a lot of congratulatory people in their family. The Lingzhu family’s population is small, so it must be too busy. As a cousin, why don’t you help? Isn’t this repairing the relationship between us? Is it a good chance?"

Dong E's complexion has changed again and again, since Qi Zhen came up with the idea to make her family prosperous, since Qi Zhen made friends with the noble girls, and since their family climbed up to the eighth elder brother, Dong E's looked down on her from the bottom of her heart. Ling Zhu's family thinks that their family is superior to them.It's just that she never thought that Ling Zhu would be knighted. Now if she agrees with her, she really can't bear the gap.Dong Eshi argued, "Although we are relatives, our two families are separated after all, and it is not good for me to interfere with Ling Zhu's family. Besides, I have already given their family a generous gift. I think I have done enough." .”

Ling Cheng's eyes widened, he slapped the table, and said sternly, "What are you talking about? You think I don't know your thoughts. In this situation, I advise you to accept your thoughts." .Let me tell you the truth now, don’t think that I have a good life under the eight princes, just because Qi Zhen pestered the eight princes in the name of Ba Fujin, so I offended Prince An’s and Prince Yu’s houses because of this. You also You should know how much influence the two palaces have on Brother Ba. If it weren't for seeing that I was still useful, Brother Ba would have handed me over a long time ago. Besides, our family's business is not as good as usual, and Qi Zhen hasn't done anything. Good idea, outsiders don’t know the specific situation, how can you not know? Now that Ling Zhu has been knighted and the emperor looks at him differently, the future must be good. Brother Ba wants to use us to win over Ling Zhu. If we don’t do it well The errand that my brother told me, wouldn't it be even more sad for me to be under Brother Ba? You always said that I should think about Qi Zhen, and I listened to you and told Brother Ba what you said, although I didn't know Elder brother’s specific decision, but there is still hope for Qi Zhen to enter the eighth elder brother’s house. Now the great opportunity is in front of you, why don’t you think about it for me and this family? Even if it’s not for me, don’t you think about it For the sake of your two sons, they are all your own. There are many girls out there who are more beautiful than Qi Zhen. It is untenable for a daughter to be in the eighth elder brother alone. You have to rely on your own ability. So I advise you to be soft when you should be soft, and when Qi Zhen really succeeds as you said in the future, can't you be tough again?"

Dong Eshi said softly, "Master is right. Although I value Qi Zhen, it is not for this family? It is not for the future that my two sons born in the first line will have a support. But although I have feelings for Ling Zhu and the others, but I'm afraid they won't accept the favor at all. Wouldn't it be even uglier then?"

"No matter what, you can't just give gifts and people don't go. What will it look like to others? Now my most important task is to improve the relationship with Ling Zhu. Now you don't even go to the door. Let Ba Brother, if you know, don't you think I'm not serious about my work?" Ling Cheng said with a cold face.

"Then can the master talk to Ling Zhu? After all, you are first cousins. After all, I am one level behind." Dong Eshi suggested.

"If it works, it's up to you to say it. You don't know that Ling Zhu is slippery now. It's not easy to hold him. Those lobbyists who came to the door were all pushed by him. Do you think I'm with him? Is there any deeper friendship? And I know his wife, Dong Shi, who has a good face and is very honest and loyal. The most important thing is to say a few good words to her to achieve the goal, so I want you to pull from Dong Shi. closer to our relationship."

"Then you haven't seen Dong's behavior now. Now she usually asks three questions and doesn't say much, but she won't let anyone push her into a hurry. She speaks very powerfully. .Combined with the help from Qi Luo, who is not a good stubble, sometimes I am really afraid to face them. But what the master said is the same, no matter what happens in private, on the surface we still can’t let others feel the relationship between us Not good. After all, now that Ling Zhu is well-developed, it is good for us to rely on him. Why can't I give up this face for the sake of you, Master?" Dong E said with determination.

Ling Cheng smiled gratifiedly and said, "That's right if you think so. I'm also doing it for our family and for our son, okay?" Then he thought about it seriously and said, "Are you really sure that Brother Ba will succeed in the end? Fujin Ba Can't have a son?"

Dong Eshi knew that he must not show any hesitation now, otherwise he would have no place in Ling Cheng's heart, so he quickly promised, "Of course, this is all predestined, otherwise I can't let Qi Zhen mess around." I just think that if the eighth elder brother can really become the prince, Qi Zhen will definitely give birth to a son for the eighth elder brother if he is in good health. Is it?" Then Dong E said aggrievedly, "Can I not think about my two sons? No matter how much I hurt Qi Zhen, I still don't know that my daughter is always someone else's family. In the future, I will have to count on my two sons? No Who else can I rely on if I rely on them?"

Seeing Dong Eshi who was about to shed tears, Ling Cheng softened his tone, patted Dong Eshi's hand and said, "I believe in you, the eighth elder brother is indeed very powerful now, and the emperor is not satisfied with the crown prince. Many people We all know that it seems that the eighth elder brother is still possible to become the crown prince. I just hope that Qi Zhen can live up to her expectations and don't make any other troubles. You have to train her well, otherwise there will be no When her mother regards sons as the most precious, we will be tossed by her. How can we enjoy happiness in the future. The two sons should have reached the age for marriage proposals, so you have to take care of them. In the end is Qi Zhu. By your side, she will also participate in this draft, so you have to prepare well for her. If she has a good future, won't it be a help to the family? You are a virtuous person, and you still need to worry about the inner house. That's good."

Mrs. Dong E held Ling Cheng's hand tightly and said, "I have written down everything the master said. Don't worry, the master, I will definitely take care of the family affairs. The boss also handles big things. I won't let the master pay more for the housework expenses." I'm more considerate, as for Ling Zhu, I'll go tomorrow, if it's not possible, I'll ask Er Niang to go with me, no matter what Ling Zhu does, he won't take Er Niang's face away."

Ling Cheng broke away from his own hand held by Dong Eshi, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly, saying, "It is also a way to let Er Niang go, but being a son is unfilial, Er Niang is so old I still have to work for her, you have to take good care of my mother and don't make any mistakes." Then she stood up and said, "You should settle down earlier, I still have things to do." Before Dong Eshi could say anything else, he turned around and left left.Seeing such a ruthless Ling Cheng, Dong E's tears could not stop streaming down, she couldn't help clenching her fist tightly, her sharp nails dug into her flesh, only the pain in her body could ease her grief.

Qi Zhen came in and saw Dong Eshi whose hands were already bleeding, and quickly said, "Er Niang, what's wrong with you? Why do you hurt yourself so much?"

Seeing Qi Zhen's empty eyes seemed to shine brightly, Dong E's hugged Qi Zhen tightly and said, "Qi Zhen, my daughter, you must live up to it. Erniang has nothing now, if you do anything else It's all over for Er Niang, you must stand out, you must give birth to a son for the eighth elder brother, you must, you must."

"Don't worry, Er Niang, I will definitely, I will definitely make what you lost today, and get back all of it in the future, no, I will get back twice as much as you lost." Qi Luo hugged Dong Eshi from the man. A guarantee of confidence.
