243, Chapter 243 (1/2)

‌The most “red” ‌ family in the capital right now is none other than the ‌ family with the fourth surname. As for other aristocratic families, they did not dare to be too arrogant because the emperor did not like aristocratic families. However, some of the aristocratic families in his team had been eliminated by the emperor's iron blood. Even if there were still descendants, just like the Yang family, they had all been subjugated to the outside world. The family is not friendly either, and everyone has been assigned or transferred to other places. In addition, the current situation in the capital is that the princes have not grown up yet, and the struggle among the princes has not yet begun, so the capital is still relatively peaceful.

Mrs. Du said: "Currently, there are four aristocratic families in the capital that people avoid, namely the Ren family, the Shen family, the Qi family, and the Yao family. Each of these four families has children who are concubines in the palace. And they all gave birth to princes, that is, the eldest prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, and the fourth prince have all been born. After all these years, no prince or princess has been born in the palace. "

Sister Du said: "Everyone is also speculating that it has been several years since the emperor ascended the throne, but no prince or princess has been born in the palace."

Mrs. Du's tone condensed: "Shut up, can you say this? There's no sense in it. What if it gets spread?"

As someone who knew the plot, Yang Haiyan knew why no more princesses and princes were born in the harem, and she also knew that no more princes and princesses would be born in the harem. Because the emperor has experienced the pain of fighting for the throne and knows that having more sons will make the throne more powerful, he does not want his sons to kill each other. After he ascended the throne, all the women in the harem drank the medicine. Well, the women in the harem don’t know this. Besides, the emperor already has four princes, and he himself is not worried about having no heirs. These four princes, including the second prince who will be the future emperor, were all born when the emperor was still the prince. It turned out that the purpose of getting those women pregnant was just to gain access to their natal families. Just support. Of course, those are his own sons, and he teaches them with all his heart and soul. Although my son was born in order to gain his own power, how could he not feel sorry for his own son?

However, people's hearts are biased, and his favorite son will always be the second prince.

Sister Du hurriedly said: "Mom, don't worry, I just want to talk at home. I don't know that these things can't be said outside." Sister Du is also a smart woman, so she doesn't gossip too much at home. , After all, who dares to discuss the Emperor’s affairs outside? Unless you are looking for death.

Mrs. Du also knew her daughter's character, so she didn't say much about her, and continued: "It turns out that there is nothing wrong with the Shen family in the capital. The emperor has ascended the throne, and Empress Shen has become the empress of the Yuan Dynasty. Everyone will do whatever they want. The imperial concubine will succeed, after all, she will succeed the princess, but she did not expect that she would be named the imperial concubine.

As for the Shen family, after all, Queen Shen has passed away and is very low-key. Even if there is no queen or prince in the harem, then the descendants can only be called , which has no real meaning. But who knew that a second prince appeared later and said that the daughter of the Shen family was very similar to the Shen family in appearance, and the Shen family was in everyone's heart. It's different. It means being on equal footing with the Ren family. However, compared to the Shen family, the Ren family is much more high-profile. "Then, Mrs. Du talked about the Qi family and the Yao family. The Yao family is a family of military commanders, and the Qi family is a Qingliu family. When the emperor was still a prince, the two families were not particularly prominent. Needless to say, the Qi family of the Qingliu family has some background, but the official positions of the Qi family are not high, no higher than the fifth rank. Later, the emperor ascended the throne and the Qi family turned around.

The same is true for the Yao family. When the emperor did not ascend the throne, even though the Yao family was a family of military generals, their official positions did not exceed the fifth rank, and their official positions in the capital were also inconspicuous. But who knew that the Yao family played a very important role in the fight for the heir, and they knew that the capital would change and force would be the most important. The emperor ascended the throne and the Yao family was granted the title of marquis.

Yang Haiyan listened to some of Mrs. Du's words and also knew some things. These four surnamed families were the least offended. Similarly, the Qin family has the Du family behind them. Under normal circumstances, these four surnamed families will not offend the Qin family or make the Du family disgusted. If Mr. Du has many students, then maybe Qin Fang cannot represent the Du family, but Mr. Du only has one student, which means that some people have an only son. Furthermore, Mr. Du's eldest son is not in the capital, and Du's two dandy sons, Qin Fang can really represent Mr. Du. Therefore, normal people with brains would not go to Qin Fang to cause trouble.

Furthermore, the matter of Huo Yao is already known to the whole world. The discovery of Huo Yao ore by Qin Fang is also known to the whole world. It is unreasonable to go to Qin Fang to cause trouble.

study

Du Ke took his two sons-in-law, sons and students to drink tea together. Mr. Du was not here. The head of the Du family was now Mr. Du Ke. Mr. Du had no longer cared about anything.

Du's brother-in-law is called Wei Jin, who comes from the Qingcheng Hou Mansion. He is the eldest son of the second wife of the Qingcheng Hou Mansion. His father and the current Qingcheng Hou ‌ full-blooded brother, logically speaking, Sister Du's identity, As for the crown prince of the Marquis House, Du Ke and Mrs. Du only wanted their daughter to live a happy life and had no intention of marrying her, so they chose Wei Jin, who had outstanding conduct. , Weijin has a calm personality and was born in the imperial examination. Now he works under Du Ke of the Ministry of War.

Du's second brother-in-law is named Hua Wenchu. He was born in a poor family, just like in ancient times when a son-in-law was caught by a ranking list. Hua Wenchu ​​went to Beijing to take the exam and was noticed by Du Ke. Duko is very satisfied with his family background. In the early days of Chinese culture, he worked in the Hanlin Academy.

Needless to say, Du Xing was already guarding the city.

‌‌ said that in the Du family, Du Ke  tempered ‌ and there was only one eldest son. If a family has too many promising people or married people, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion, but he does not have this idea. He is still very satisfied with his eldest son. Even if he passes away in the future, the Du family can continue with his eldest son around, and the eldest son will not treat his second son badly.

Du Ke took a sip of tea and asked Qin Fang: "You entered the palace yesterday. Does the emperor have anything to say about your official position?"

Qin Fang said: "No, the emperor only asked me to rest and not think about this matter. Master, what do you think the emperor means?"

Du Ke said: "It's always difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts, but since the emperor has said this, you don't have to worry or worry about it. You can just recuperate at home. If you go elsewhere, it won't matter." ‌. Of course, I won't do anything for you, lest you fall into the eyes of the emperor and arouse suspicion. "Maybe the emperor is trying to polish your character," Du Ke said. , so that the emperor will reuse him. If you take office based on your connections, the emperor will think you are impatient and not stable enough.

Qin Fang said: "The student is not in a hurry. The student never cared about these things, but now he is spending time with his wife and son at home." Qin Fang's mentality was very tense, not to mention that he really wasn't in a hurry.

Du Ke is quite satisfied with this student.

…

The Qin family had lunch at Du's house. After the meal, the family left.

At the door of Du's house, Qin Linyang's friend held Yuan Zhanxiu's hand and refused to let go: "Brother, come to my house to play with the big car." Yuan Zhanyun came to visit Sister Du's second son.

Yuan Zhanyun's friend also thought that his younger brother was a big man, so he looked at his mother: "Mom..."

Sister Du couldn't stop laughing: "Why don't you do this? I'm tired from being out today. Mom will take you there tomorrow? I want to ask if Aunt Yun welcomes you."

Yuan Zhanyun's friend looked at Yang Haiyan: "Aunt?"

Yang Haiyan said with a smile: "Welcome to you, then come early tomorrow and join your brother. Auntie is cooking and eating at home and playing with you brothers." She said. After that, the girl from Second Sister Du's house said, "Ying'er is coming too. Take your second uncle's sisters with you."

The two chatted for a while, and then each went home.

The Qin family doesn't have many servants in the capital. Except for the first batch of servants who came to clean the house, they came with Yang Haiyan and the others. These batches have already settled here, so... Then the remaining group of people came. Regarding the capital city, they were not prepared to buy out the servants. Originally, there were enough servants in the General's Mansion. Moreover, the servants in the General's Mansion had lived together for ‌ years, which made people more trustworthy.

"Aunt Lian, you go to the capital and ask around. I want to renovate this yard and see where this team can be found." Yang Haiyan planned to build an amusement park for her son too late and give him a happy childhood.

Aunt Lian said: "‌, I'll go and inquire about it now."

Aunt Lian went to inquire about it. Soon, she found out that there was a special place in the capital that introduced this kind of work. After only half an hour, she came back. After reporting the matter to Yang Haiyan, Yang Haiyan decided to have someone come over the day after tomorrow. After all, there were guests at home tomorrow.

There is no one else in the Qin family, and there are only two masters in the house. The house is very quiet.

During dinner, Yang Haiyan asked Qin Fang about his official position. She was not worried when she learned that the emperor asked him to rest first. If you don't have an official position, you will be a rich man. Anyway, the money at home is enough for them to spend, so why don't you just rest at home every day?

It didn't matter to Qin Fang, he didn't value officialdom, and he would rest as long as the emperor asked him to. After dinner, he played with his son for a while.

However, Qin Fang is currently worried because his son has just changed places and is sleeping with them again.

the next day

Today, Sister Du, Second Sister Du and Mrs. Qu will come to the door with their children. Early in the morning, Yang Haiyan got up and prepared to entertain the guests. When the guests came, Grandma Lian greeted them at the door. .

"Sister, that thing you gave us to put on our faces is really useful." Seeing Yang Haiyan, Sister Du couldn't help but said.

Second Sister Du: "No, not only is it smooth after applying it, but when I wake up the next day, the skin on my face is smoother."

Mrs. Qu also followed: "Sister, I heard you say yesterday that if you make this thing yourself, is it complicated?"

Sure enough, women, from ancient times to the present, do not like skin care products.

Yang Haiyan said with a smile: "Sisters, don't worry. If you run out, come back and I'll give it to you again."

Sister Du said: "Sister, I won't take advantage of you. I have high-quality materials there, and I will bring them to you, but they are not available outside."

Second Sister Du also followed: "My husband's land produces a lot of things. When the cherries mature next month, I will send more to my sister."

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she was immediately overjoyed: "Second sister, does your husband's family grow a lot of cherries?"

When Sister Du heard this, she knew that she liked it and was a little happy: "No, my husband's family is a landlord. We have a lot of land, but we don't do business. The land is used to grow food and not just sell it. , ‌‌Cherry is the most popular, and everyone rushes for it every year. ”

Yang Haiyan said: "I wonder if the second sister's home can give me two cherry trees. I will contract the second sister's facial cream and lip balm for twenty years." She didn't say buy it, because it seemed too unfamiliar to say so, so she said... She said she bought it, and Sister Du would definitely not charge her money.

When Sister Du heard this, she was not dissatisfied: "Then I won't be polite."

Sister Du joked: "Looks like she's quite a foodie."

Mrs. Qu also joked: "No, I just don't know if girls like beauty. I can't come up with ingredients or food, but I have a jewelry shop as my dowry, and there is a jewelry shop inside." The stuff is quite new. The girl will contract me for twenty years to provide facial cream and lip balm, and I will contract for the girl to provide jewelry for twenty years. How about it? "

Everyone couldn't help but laugh as they spoke.

Qin Linyang's friend heard that his brothers and sisters were coming and hurried over to say hello: "Come on, come on, let's go play with cars."

Yang Haiyan's mother-in-law said: "Take the boys and girls to play, don't let them get hit."

Mother-in-law: "‌."

The mother-in-law took the children to play, and the children themselves, who were waiting for others, also followed.

The children are playing in the yard. The weather outside is nice and comfortable this season. There are many toys in the yard, including big cars, children's bicycles, cloth balls, and rubber balls. This time, there are also snacks, including pastries, French fries, potato chips, and chicken tenders. These snacks are placed on the low table, and there are stools next to the low table.

The children saw the food, but they were not interested. These children usually had no shortage of food, and they were not interested in eating at home. They were only interested in playing. .

Qin Linyang's friend called his friends over: "Come on, come on, this thing is delicious." As he said that, he picked up a potato chip and took a bite, making a crisp sound.

Seeing this, his companions followed suit and watched Qin Linyang's friend eating. They also picked up and ate. At first, they were just passive, but after eating the same thing, they started to eat. The second thing, the third thing.

Sister Du's eldest son is five years old this year. Wei Zhanlei said: "Eat it, it's really delicious."

After hearing his brother's words, Wei Zhanyun also said: "Eat." He likes to eat French fries, holding one in his hand, he can eat it.

In the house, the women were together, and the most they talked about was gossip.

But at this moment, they were not chatting because someone was coming. The guard at the gate came to report: "Madam, there is a nanny at the door. She claims to be from the Cheng'enhou Mansion and wants to see you."
