Chapter 298 A Good Family
The emperor glanced at the officials below with a sharp look and said slowly, "From the eyes of the ministers, how should we deal with this matter?"
Li Zhengdao seemed to be about to speak, but someone took the lead. It was indeed Wang Lian Yufeng. He went beyond the crowd and said loudly: "It is rare that Lord Duan is so wise. According to my opinion, I will hand over this case to Duan.
The Lord is responsible for a comprehensive investigation and thorough investigation. The most urgent task is to investigate and strengthen the river embankment in Mingjiang. It is necessary to conduct comprehensive investigation and reinforcement to avoid another dam breaking accident. What should the officials involved in the case do afterwards? I believe Lord Duan will not be favored."
The words were reasonable. Seeing that the emperor seemed to show his approval, the ministers in the court agreed, thinking that King Ding's proposal was appropriate. Even Li Zhengdao, the leader in this matter, could not think of any refutation for a moment, so
The matter was decided here, and the emperor appointed Duan Zilang as the imperial envoy to investigate the matter thoroughly.
After going to court, Lian Yufeng refused the invitation from several ministers to have a banquet, and went straight to the royal palace. As soon as he returned, he went straight to the inner courtyard to find Su Yiqing.
After listening to Lian Yufeng's retelling, Su Yiqing was stunned for a long time and asked, "Is this your purpose? After making such a big circle, what you want to get?"
Lian Yufeng nodded, "Yes, what I want is not to punish corrupt officials, but to use this matter to repair and strengthen the river bank. As for how corrupt officials deal with it and how to deal with it, I don't care much. If there is a sudden heavy rain
Once the river breaks, the losses caused are no less than a big battle. We must prevent problems before they happen. Otherwise, once the national treasury is empty, some people will have unrealistic thoughts."
With an unrealistic idea, Su Yiqing thought about it and said, "Is it going to fight?"
"Yes. Many times, fighting is also the fastest way to fill the treasury." Lian Yufeng smiled, "Just like a gambler, she is obviously in high debts and is not serious about trying to make money to pay off her debts. She just wants to continue gambling, and she will win.
Everything was solved, but I never thought about what would happen if I lost?"
So that's the case, Su Yiqing murmured. She felt a little guilty about her previous thoughts and said seriously: "It was me who misunderstood you before. I thought you were for... I'm really sorry."
Perhaps the image that Lian Yufeng gave her is not so tall that she always felt that he was good at power and did not have much intention of serving the country and the people, which was wrong with her.
"It's okay. I didn't explain it to you in advance, but... I hope you can understand that some things in the court really can't be said too much. It's not that I believe it, but that's just that this is the rule." Lian Yufeng took him with him.
Sorry, looking at Su Yiqing.
"I understand." Su Yiqing understood, "There is no need to talk too much about national affairs. I just haven't done anything recently. I'm just thinking about it."
Lian Yufeng cleaned the broken hair on her temples for her, and the couple looked at each other and smiled.
Su Yiqing thought this matter was revealed.
But two days later, Mrs. Meng came again. After drinking tea, she whispered: "Fu'er, the Wen County Prince's Mansion has been quite uneasy recently. Will you have anything to do?"
Su Yiqing smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "Mother was joking. Our Ding Palace and the Wen County Prince's Mansion have always had an ordinary relationship. How did their Ding Palace have anything to do with our Ding Palace?"
Mrs. Meng looked around in a little embarrassed manner, as if some words were difficult to speak.
Su Yiqing said: "Mother, just say something. We mother and daughter have nothing to do with it."
Mrs. Meng then said, "It's not a big deal. Some rumors outside, I think these rumors should not be said in front of Fu'er to avoid annoying you, but you are afraid that you will be kept in the dark... It's like this,
I heard that on the day of the full moon banquet of the grandson of the Prince of Wen County, you were neglected. I said that the people of the Prince of Wen County wanted to arrange for you to sit with some ladies without imperial edicts to humiliate you. These are all the Prince of Wen County.
The princess made by the princess, the princess of Wen has always claimed to be noble and looked down on... the daughter-in-law of another family, so she is like this. Fortunately, Prince Ding helped her elder brother in the court without any grudges."
These words were not aimless rumors. Su Yiqing frowned and said, "Mother, where did you hear these words?"
The so-called negligence is just a small conflict between the women in the inner house, and should not be mentioned to the court. The people who spread these news obviously have ulterior motives.
"This is what some relatives said when they came to visit." Mrs. Meng's eyes flashed a little, because the people who said this matter bothered her and told her not to tell others that they were talking. Sometimes women didn't say anything.
Strictly, but there is one thing that must be followed. Others are kind enough to tell you and remind you not to tell others that she said it, then you must not say it.
Su Yiqing is also a woman, she is a little clear-headed, and she doesn't ask questions, just laughed and said, "These are not lies. On the day of the full moon banquet in the Prince of Wen County, the seating arrangement was a bit chaotic, but it may not be intentional. These people are really, Ding Dian
Small things are also a big fuss. Just a seat, how can you be considered negligent."
"Yes, I said that too." Mrs. Meng also smiled, but her face was a little strange, as if she wanted to say something.
Su Yiqing didn't ask. If Mrs. Meng felt that there was no need to say anything, she wouldn't want to hear it. Some things could be over without knowing them. Unfortunately, Mrs. Meng couldn't help it after all and said, "Today, a matchmaker will come to you Sister Yan."
The proposal for marriage is... the Li family in Dengzhou, which is the original family of the Censor Li of the dynasty, mentioned Li's nephew, who has been studying in the capital and has a very good talent."
"Does my mother think this marriage is good?" Su Yiqing guessed that if she felt it was not good, Mrs. Meng would not look like this.
Mrs. Meng nodded and sighed, "It's okay if it's another family. The Li family has always been in good spirits. The family rules are strict and do not like to take concubines, especially the legitimate branches. Unless there is something wrong with the wife, they will not be allowed to take concubines easily. Their requirements for marrying a wife have always been strict.
, family background is second, and character must be good, so there are fewer dirty things among sisters-in-law, and they will not dislike their daughter-in-law just because there is something wrong with their parents' family."
"It's indeed a good family." Su Yiqing agreed faintly, but she didn't think so. Hearing it was false, and seeing it was true. She didn't know what the Li family was like. But if it was as good as the rumor, their family wouldn't propose marriage to the Meng family.
The Meng family is now at the end of the capital city, and there is nothing particularly good about Meng Yan. The Li family’s reputation for being arrogant and noble. So the reason for the sudden proposal of marriage is very intriguing.
I have to say that the idea of not being able to take a concubine is really enough to make ancient women crazy. Mrs. Meng is not a brainless person. I believe she knows that something is wrong, but she is still moved. I think she thinks that no matter what the reason, as long as her daughter gets married, her son-in-law won't
If you take a concubine, your daughter will be happy.
"Does Fu'er also think this marriage is good?" Mrs. Meng obviously misunderstood Su Yiqing's meaning and showed a surprise expression.
It is pitiful to the hearts of parents all over the world. Su Yiqing was not inconvenient to say anything about this matter, so she said lightly: "What my mother thinks is good must be good. Naturally, the parents decide the major affairs of her daughter's marriage."
Mrs. Meng said, "It's just that your father is not satisfied and thinks that the Li family's Shuxiang family does not match ours."
"My father's concerns are also reasonable." Su Yiqing nodded and agreed.
"Fu'er, what do you mean?" Mrs. Meng was a little confused.
Su Yiqing simply stopped beating around the bush and said frankly: "Mother, you want to ask me for your opinion, but this is the first time I have heard of the Li family. I don't know what the young master of their family is like. You want to
What should I say?"
"This...Fu'er, can you help me inquire?" Mrs. Meng asked expectantly, "We are women from the deep home. These are the ones we can find out. My mother knows that this requirement is a bit too much. Can you please ask me if you want it.
The prince helped me find out and see the character and knowledge of Mr. Li. I think the Li family style is really rare, and it would be a pity to miss it."
"Does my mother really hope that her daughter is just helping to inquire?" Su Yiqing asked.
Mrs. Meng was a little embarrassed and said, "I just think this is really a good family. If you miss it, it will be difficult to find someone with such good family style and talents."
"Didn't my mother think about why the Li family suddenly proposed to Sister Yan?" Su Yiqing said before Mrs. Meng said, "If my mother thinks it's okay, then I naturally have nothing to say. As for Mr. Li's
I think I should be good at learning, but I’m sorry for my daughter, I’ll say that good character outside is not good for my wife.”
The Li family style is so good that they will not seek marriage to Meng Yan with purpose.
"Fu'er, you are a lucky person. Although you were a little bumpy when you were a child, you can meet Prince Ding to treat you like this. This is what ordinary people say, bitter first and sweet. I wonder if you, Sister Yan, can meet someone who treats her sincerely.
"Mrs. Meng sighed in an envious tone.
Su Yiqing pursed her lips and said nothing. She did not deny that meeting Lian Yufeng was her blessing, but this blessing was like walking on thin ice, and this was her blessing, not Meng Xiaofu. It is still unknown whether the real Meng Xiaofu is good or bad now.
She understood Mrs. Meng's meaning. The Meng family is now in decline, and the only person who can show off is her, Princess Ding, but her relationship with her parents is not very good. If she goes to marry Meng Yan for her, she hopes she can take care of her.
, it’s too whimsical. All the Li family does not want to use this in-laws for a long time.
It must be a short-term effect. If you have something to do, even Yufeng will help you. While Mengye and his wife are still alive, use the word filial piety to suppress it. The higher you climb, the more you need to take into account people's words, especially her who is recorded in the name of her mother.
The concubines should be grateful and have a good plan.
It seems that Mrs. Meng does not understand this truth, but the Li family has too good conditions and is too tempting, so it is worth fighting.
After pondering, Su Yiqing said, "Mom, just say, what do the Li family want?"
If she was going with the flow, she wouldn't mind helping her, and it would be impossible for her to do anything extra. Mrs. Meng must have been worried about her daughter's marriage for a while. Well, people who pretended to behave were always better than those who wanted to flatter her.
OK, at least they still know shame when they seek benefits. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome)
