Five hundred and fiftieth seventh chapter offer advice
Mrs. Dong said that Mr. Shao and his wife did not say anything about General Shao, after all, Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Quan Si were a little dissatisfied with what Mrs. Dong said.
What does it mean? It is naturally impossible for a wealthy family to make things difficult for others to fight directly like a shrew in the folk, but it is much more serious to start arguing with people behind their backs than to slap a few times or pull a few times of hair in the folk.
Mr. Shao’s life has been getting worse in the past few years. His children have not been able to talk about marriage so far. They rely on General Shao Li’s one-sided family to help him. However, since General Shao Li was able to lead troops to surround the future Yue family and force his future father-in-law to withdraw from the bride, he obviously was not the one who puts the interests of the family first. He has not taken care of Mr. Shao in recent years. Otherwise, with Shao Li’s face, his nephews and nieces would not be even able to say a decent family.
The Shao family had already separated, but because of the fact that my father was alive, he barely lived together. That day, Mr. Shao kicked his legs. Those who had a little understanding of Shao Li did not doubt that Shao Li would draw a clear line with Mr. Shao and would not give a penny.
In that case, Master Shao will completely become an ordinary poor family, and even a normal poor family. Other poor families are at least used to poor life and have their own means of making a living. Master Shao has nothing to do. The couple is not engaged in childbirth and has no investment. After they are exhausted, they may not be able to do anything.
I also heard that Shao Li and Master Shao had a very dirty relationship with each other in the early years.
For civil officials, they also pay attention to reputation and cannot ignore the clan. However, for military generals, as long as they can fight and win battles, other families are too lazy to care about so many things. Even for the emperor, generals with bad relationships with their families and ministers in the court and have poor reputations are more useful than those who are deeply loved by the people. At least when these people have any strange intentions, they will not be easy to respond.
Just like Meng Ye, when Meng Ye became a general, he did not take much care of the Meng family and even deliberately distanced himself from him.
Master Shao may be too desperate and has some vicious intentions. He wants to deal with Shao Li's wife and children. He plans to make the property of the second wife of the Shao family. Although this is very risky, sometimes people can do everything when they are desperate and crazy. All the signs before showed that General Shao Li's wife was also guarding against Master Shao.
When Mrs. Meng was thinking about how likely Mr. Shao was to attack his younger brother and sister, Mrs. Quan Si thought of something else.
What Mrs. Quan Si thought was that she seemed to tell Princess Ding about this matter quickly. After all, it is well known that the Shao family and Prince Ding were a little disagreeable. Now, as soon as King Ding returned to the city, such a thing happened to the Shao family. There were such rumors, which would definitely have a great impact on Prince Ding's Mansion.
Perhaps she would not have to come to the door deliberately, Princess Ding might know about such a big event, but she could show sincerity when she came to the door personally. Of course, it could not be entirely based on Mrs. Dong's current one-sided words. She had to ask more and see what was going on so that she could tell her about it.
General Shao Li's wife, a woman with her children, disappeared out of thin air. It was impossible for him to leave no clues. Maybe he searched carefully and asked more about the market. Maybe he could find some clues. These are quite a few ways. If he could find any useful clues, it would be helpful to the Ding Prince's Mansion. Princess Ding would never treat the person who helped her work.
In the past two years, their family has been so prosperous, which has dragged the fortune of the Dingwang Mansion. Some small businesses, a single bill of Dingwang Mansion can be more convenient than others. Not to mention making money every day, there are several times the profits. Even if she opened a small tea shop that can have a better source of goods than others, it is also due to the ability of her family's managers to buy them together when purchasing Dingwang Mansion. The tea merchants dare not ask for high prices. When they shipped back, the officials along the way did not make things difficult for them to ask for tolls. The savings of the tolls are profits.
What she did for the Dingwang Mansion was almost trivial, such as arranging a maid and singer from the Dingwang Mansion, helping with help or finding a job.
And she did it from the beginning, unlike some of the Quan family members, such as the Grandpa Quan San, who was in a house. Before Princess Ding officially married, she hurriedly thought about how to get a piece of the pie. First, she wanted to persuade Princess Ding to accept a girl from the Quan family as a concubine and marry into the royal palace. After being rejected, she simply found a way to send the beauty she got from somewhere to the Princess Ding Mansion.
Mrs. Quan Si still cannot understand what Mr. Quan San thought at the beginning, not that it was wrong to give a beauty to her. It was always a matter of giving a beauty to curry favor with the powerful and powerful, and it was one of the most effective means, which was more effective than giving gold, silver and jewelry, because gold and silver utensils can't speak, and the beauty can blow the pillow wind all the time, which can make the person behind her gain greater benefits.
But since Mr. Quan San has such a mind, why don’t he send him off sooner? Why did he do this to destroy his family’s platform after being engaged to the Ding Wang Mansion and the Meng family? Or, there are many lustful and powerful people in Yancheng, so there is no need to stare at King Ding alone and see him off? Mr. Quan San’s approach is not something that can be done by relatives. Those who don’t know what kind of hatred does with Mr. Quan San’s family have with him.
It is no wonder that the Ding Prince's Mansion or the Meng family later attacked the third party of Mr. Quan San almost couldn't stay in Yancheng. Mr. Quan San's actions were no different from those of the enemy, not to mention that he had married the Meng family and then repent.
As a flattering person, the experience she gained from being a noble lady in the inner house should not be too anxious, take it slowly and do what she can, otherwise it will not be worth the loss.
After planning, Mrs. Quan Si turned her attention to Mrs. Dong.
I couldn't help but guess that Mrs. Dong rushed over in such a hurry to tell Mrs. Meng about such news. What was the purpose of it? I heard that Mr. Dong was demoted to the official position before because King Ding stood by and watched. After that, Mrs. Dong went to the Ding Palace several times, but Princess Ding sent someone to suggest that she came up when Mrs. Dong came to the door and asked for something.
After she went there, the princess had nothing to do. Later she vaguely guessed that it might be that Princess Ding wanted a guest, which made Mrs. Dong unable to say what she wanted.
Mrs. Dong is not particularly generous. It is not because of this incident that she is a little resentful? Today I will tell you about this news. Is it a kind reminder or a gloating?
It would be fine if you kindly remind me. If you are gloating, Mrs. Quan feels that it is necessary to remind Mrs. Dong that they are not of the same level as Princess Ding, so it is better not to provoke Prince Ding's Mansion, so as not to end up with Mr. Quan San. However, judging from Mrs. Dong's appearance, Mrs. Quan decided to finally make a secret reminder of Mrs. Meng later. After all, they are sisters, so that Mrs. Dong will not be able to hear it and become a villain in vain.
I found an excuse to say goodbye.
Mrs. Quan Si finally took advantage of the time when Mrs. Meng sent her out and quietly reminded Mrs. Meng. Mrs. Meng was also a smart person and immediately thanked Mrs. Quan Si for her reminder.
In fact, even if Mrs. Quan Si doesn't remind her, she will persuade her sister.
It is better to take care of some things less. Even if it is between relatives and relatives, it is better to mention less things that can be mentioned as little as possible.
...
When soldiers were guarding outside, the disappearance of family members was a major event, involving national security.
In the palace, the emperor also heard the news and urgently summoned Lian Yufeng to the palace to ask.
Shao Li was also one of the emperor's confidants. In this situation, the emperor was very anxious. If General Shao's wife really had an accident in Yancheng, no matter what the reason was, she would always have a responsibility to the court. If the general had no family left in Yancheng, it would be difficult to make the emperor feel at ease.
After listening to the emperor's words, Lian Yufeng did not speak for a long time.
The emperor couldn't help but be anxious and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
Lian Yufeng said: "I don't know much about the Shao family's backyard and I can't judge for a while. For now, I'd better send someone to investigate and see if there are any clues."
Without Lian Yufeng reminding this, the emperor had already issued an order to order the governor's yamen, Yanchengfu to secretly search for it, but it could only be secretly because the Shao family did not formally report the matter, which was of great importance. We cannot investigate it with great fanfare to avoid people's worries.
But what I am worried about now is Shao Li’s reaction.
To be precise, he was worried that Shao Li would have any abnormal movements. The emperor had always been suspicious. When Lian Yufeng led his troops to guard the border alone, the emperor was suspicious of Lian Yufeng, so he sent Shao Li to check and balance.
After Lian Yufeng was urgently convened to Yancheng, Shao Li became the only one in the border area. If Shao Li had any strange intentions at this time, the consequences would be difficult to imagine.
Thinking of this, Shao Li might have a strange intention, the emperor couldn't help but regret it secretly. He just sent someone to stare at the Ding Prince's Mansion, but forgot the Shao family.
He always thought that he had a lot of trust in Shao Li and regarded him as his confidant and treated him well. Shao Li had no reason to betray him, so he didn't beware of it too much, but now it seems that nothing is impossible.
It was only when he met Lian Yufeng's expression that the emperor realized that it seemed inappropriate to discuss this matter with Lian Yufeng. After all, Lian Yufeng and Shao Li were a little disagreeable. Some words were natural and natural for others to say, and Lian Yufeng would make people feel more concerned.
The emperor, who was used to some difficult problems, discussed with Lian Yufeng, asked him to retreat for the time being after he felt that Lian Yufeng's position was awkward.
After Lian Yufeng retreated, the emperor sat on the dragon throne and thought for a long time before asking Yu An, the eunuch manager beside him, "What do you think about this?"
Yu An asked carefully: "Your Majesty is talking about General Shao's disappearance?"
"Nonsense, is there anything else right now?" The emperor was a little impatient.
Yu An said: "I have never met Mrs. General Shao. This fact is difficult to judge. It is just a common sense to infer that if a woman with a child is just a little conflicted with her family and runs away from home, she can find it after a little check. If she cannot find any clues within one or two days, I am afraid something is wrong."
Yu An was talking about exactly what the emperor was worried about.
If it is just an ordinary family disagreement and a woman runs away from home, it has nothing to do with the court. After all, this is the Shao family's family business, and it is difficult for honest officials to make a decision. Unless General Shao's wife asks for help, outsiders have no reason to interfere in the Shao family's family business.
But if General Shao’s wife did not run away from home on the voluntary basis, this matter was a bit serious, which made him think too much. Even if he felt that Shao Li had no reason to rebel, he was wary of what others would threaten to capture Shao Li’s wife and children. As we all know, how deeply Shao Li had towards his wife.
Now, in addition to sending people to find Shao Li's wife and children, should we also take some other preventive measures?
The emperor was wondering whether to send Lian Yufeng out to check and balance Shao Li? But this would be too obvious and it would easily make the court officials feel disappointed. Besides, Lian Yufeng had just returned and was sent out again, which was somewhat unreasonable.
It's really a dilemma.
Yu An naturally was not a slave who could be trusted by the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was worried, his mind quickly turned and whispered: "Your Majesty, I think that things may have to be prepared more at this point."
"Tell me clearly." The emperor frowned and waited for Yu An.
Yu An didn't dare to swear the emperor's fear and hurriedly said, "What a slave means is that he should be staring at the Shao family now, mainly Mr. Shao and his wife. Mr. Shao and his wife are too distorted. He actually made things difficult for his younger brother to repeatedly make things difficult for his sister-in-law while he was guarding the border and was not at home. It's really hateful."
"A waste is worth watching?" The emperor was too lazy to care about Uncle Shao. Uncle Shao's incompetent children have no such unhelpful children. The Shao family has dealt with the law. General Shao's wife has suffered some grievances. When Shao Li comes back, she will naturally deal with it. If Shao Li takes into account the deep brotherly love and is unwilling to hurt brotherhood for women, why should they be this evil person?
Seeing that the emperor seemed not to understand the hint, Yu An gritted his teeth and said, "I thought that I should set up checkpoints in various traffic routes to find General Shao's wife... In addition, Uncle Shao also needs to be strictly examined. If they really hurt General Shao's wife, the court will naturally have to make the decision for General Shao, who is guarding outside."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, slowly, he understood Yu An's hint. Yu An really hinted that if it was just an ordinary family conflict, it would be fine if General Shao had really ran away from home with his children. But if there was a case, General Shao and his children were held hostage... They should be sent to intercept him. It would be best if he could save him. If he could not, he would have to be ruthless when necessary and not let Shao Li's family fall into the hands of the enemy... Afterwards, this matter would have to be pushed to the heads of Mr. Shao and his wife. Whether it was Shao Li or the court officials, there would be an explanation."
After understanding this, the emperor nodded slowly and ordered Yu An to do it. This matter cannot be explained, and he can only let his confidant do it privately.
