Chapter 189 are all calculating
"Is Mrs. Yao's surname Yao? Is it called Mingyue since childhood? How old did she go to the palace?
"I don't know if the surname is Yao. I have been Mingyue since I was a child. Most of the names of the slaves were given by my masters. When Mingyue's sister entered the palace, she was also very young, as if she was eight or nine years old. I only heard Zheng Daguan mention it once. Sister Mingyue herself never said this."
"Gunuch Zheng? Did he follow the officials at that time? Does he know Grandma Yao?
"Well, when I arrived at the hidden mansion, Mr. Zheng was the most trusted leader's servant around the official family. Mr. Zheng respected Sister Mingyue very much." Shui Qiuniang gradually regained her composure, but the melancholy could not fade away.
"How did the former queen die? And Sun Yifei and Liu Yifei, why was the second master banned? Li Tian followed and asked. Shui Qiuniang frowned and said, "At that time, I was young and only focused on learning the piano. Later, I entered the palace. The first queen said that she had a difficult delivery and was injured. Sun and Liu Xianfei said that they died of illness. I was already in the palace at that time." Li Tian was disappointed for a moment and asked, "Does Mrs. Yao have any relatives or close relatives?"
"I haven't heard of it." Shui Qiu Niang shook her head and said that Li Tian asked a lot of trivial questions, just as Shui Qiu Niang said. At that time, she was too young and didn't pay attention. When she was a child, she entered the palace again. She knew almost nothing about what she said was related to herself.
Li Tian returned to the upper room and ordered Yingluo to take out those things and line them up in front of her. At least, she now knows who sent them. When she finds the thread, there is always time to solve the mystery.
In Yao Mansion, Yao Shisi carried a Li Ji's roast chicken and a bag of shredded mutton meat. The little man behind him held the good yellow wine on the jar and sneaked into Mr. Lu's yard.
After setting up the wine and dishes, Yao Shishi drove away the young man and looked at the yellow wine on the red mud stove. He poured wine for Mr. Lu, then poured his own, raised the glass, and smiled flatteryly and said, "Sir, I have been busy for a year. Thank you for your hard work. I have a drink." Mr. Lu looked at Yao Shisi funnyly, held up his glass and took a sip of wine, so that he waited to see his intention.
"...I heard that Min Xiang's announcement is getting old?" Sure enough, Yao Shisi's patience was only two or three glasses of wine. Mr. Lu's eyes flashed slightly and looked at him and nodded with a smile. Yao Shisi moved forward and said directly: "I heard that the old man is going to recommend Liu University to the middle school to do that political affairs. Is it true?"
"What are you doing to ask about this? This is a political event, which is not something you should inquire about. Mr. Lu swung the wine, looked at Yao Shi, and replied slowly. Yao Shisi nodded like pounding garlic: "I know, but I shouldn't ask, so I came to find you for a story." Mr. Lu looked at Yao Shisi speechlessly. He really couldn't figure out how Yao Xiang, such a shrewd and wise man, raised such a son.
"Can Liu University students enter the middle school? Anyway, you have to tell me something. This is very important. It's very important!" Yao Shihou asked anxiously. Mr. Lu picked up the wine pot and poured wine for himself. He looked up and down at him and asked, "What's important? What's the matter? What's the matter?"
"It's very important, it's very important, sir, can he become this political counselor?"
"What does it matter to you whether he participates in politics or not?" Mr. Lu slowly sped the wine and ignored Yao Shi's hurry.
"It's none of my business! Sir, don't sell the key, just one sentence, just one sentence!"
"How about him? So what if you can't do it?" Mr. Lu put down the cup, picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of shredded mutton. He narrowed his eyes and asked carefully. Yao Shi couldn't sit still anxiously: "If you become a doctor, there will be money. If you don't have trouble, it will be troublesome. Sir, say it quickly!"
"Do you still have less money? Who entrusted it to you? Someone asked you to say something?"
"Look at what you said, who doesn't know the old man's temper? Who would ask me to say something? It's not this, it's entrusted, but it's not about Xiang, sir, but it's more refreshing!"
"Who entrusted you? What's the matter? I'll listen to what's entrusted, so that I can know if you can get the money.
"You said that I can't ask for money. How can I ask for money for this? They are all brothers. Okay, let me tell you, it's not a big deal. It's the fifth master. You know that the incident in their house was harsh and exorious. Lao Wu said that he didn't blame his daughter-in-law. He wanted to save money. He opened a house and used too many places for silver, and he didn't have any money on hand. That's what he thought. Find a few beneficial errands to do, just like the errand boy Jiang Liu's last year, one is to get a small hundred thousand silver. If Liu University scholar can enter the middle school, Lao Liu can talk easily, and secondly, Neyan can speak in front of him. This task is easy. That's the matter, to tell you, okay, hurry up, Can you get in or not?"
Yao Shisi's temper is not patient. Mr. Lu was not in a hurry. He was anxious first and told all the things the fifth prince and himself. Mr. Lu listened attentively and looked at him for a while before laughing, "It's really not a big deal. To tell you the truth, I really haven't heard of my father-in-law talk about this. Well, Mr. Yao should come back in a moment. As soon as he comes back, I will go to find him. How about you come and hear back one night later?"
"Good! Sir is just cheerful!" Yao Shimei's eyebrows are flying. His old man trusts Mr. Lu the most. Since Mr. Lu promised to inquire for him, he will definitely find out.
Send off Yao Shisi. Mr. Lu chewed mutton and thought about it for a long time. Hearing that Mr. Yao came back, he got up and rinsed his mouth and hands and went to the study to find Mr. Yao.
After listening to Mr. Lu's words, Yao Xianggong's face was slightly dark. After a long time, he sighed heavily: "The children and grandchildren are not bad!"
"Fourteenth brother is honest by nature, which is not a bad thing." Mr. Lu comforted, and Yao Xianggong patted Gao a few sadly: "If my son hadn't been stupid, why would I suffer..." Yao Xianggong sighed heavily again. He only had two sons. Yao Yuanzheng, the eldest son, was even a little better than his youngest son Yao Yuanhang. The two sons were less than one in ten of him.
"The public talk is serious. How smart the eldest brother and the second brother are!" Mr. Lu knows very well how to comfort Yao Xianggong. The eldest brother and the second brother are the two direct grandchildren of Yao Xianggong's eldest son, one is eight years old and the other is five years old. They are indeed extremely smart and rare.
"Just for these two little grandchildren!" Yao Xianggong thought about the cleverness and cuteness of the two little grandsons, twisted his beard and smiled happily: "If it weren't for the two of them, why would I suffer?! Well, don't say this, say what you mean."
"The fifth master inquired about the entry of the Chinese scholar Liu, not to find a good job that can make money. As a prince, he wants to make money, he has a lot of ways to make money. Besides, with the Huang family and his princess, he will not spend less money." Mr. Lu affirmed his words, and Mr. Yao nodded his beard. Mr. Lv continued, "Yes, is he asking for himself or for others?"
"It's mostly for others." Yao Xianggong narrowed his eyes slightly: "He has never had the heart to stand on his own mountain before. Now, it seems that he has no such a plan. He can only do it for others and for the king of longevity."
"Well," Mr. Lu strongly agreed with Yao Xianggong's words and was silent for a moment. He looked at Yao Xianggong and said, "Over the years, the fifth master has been standing by and attached just because of playing the moon building? He is not stupid. He has no evidence... It's hard to figure out."
"Why can't you figure it out? This is your appearance," Yao Xianggong picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. "Fifth master, just like a cautious fox. He has to listen carefully every step. Even if there is a trace of danger in front of him, he refuses to step in again, so he has to turn around and seek another place of stability. He is not attached to the matter of playing the moon building. He pointed out the marriage decree from the official family. He began to look for another safe place.
"Alas." After a long time, Mr. Lu sighed clearly. This is really an evil fate.
"The matter of playing the moon building is by no means the fourth master. The officials must also know that if the fourth master takes action, he can still live?" Yao Xianggong smiled disdainfully and said, "Ye Dalang believed that he was the uncle, but I think," Yao Xianggong paused and narrowed his eyes more tightly: "This is the bridge arranged by the fifth master himself. With this incident, he became a bitter master. He and the fourth master turned against him and threw himself into the uncle's arms, whether it was an official or an uncle, or even four Master, I take it for granted."
Mr. Lu's face is much more solemn: "If so, the fifth master's ingenuousness is admirable."
"For so many years, he has been able to survive in the palace, and the more he lives, the better he will be. Look at the second master and the third master. Which one is not better than him? A high wall was forbidden, and the other was scared. He was attached to the uncle's arms... The uncle is really blessed. Yao Xianggong sighed leisurely, and Mr. Lu frowned and said, "What's about this?"
"Tell the rebellious son that his old man must push Liu Xueshi into the Chinese book." Yao Xianggong casually touched the folding fan, shook it twice, and replied with a relaxed face. Mr. Lu looked at Yao Xianggong and said with a smile, "Your husband should also look at the strengths of the fourteenth brother. With this friend in the capital, he can't compare with him."
Mr. Yao laughed, took a folding fan and pointed to Mr. Lu and said with angrily, "What you said... He is so stupid. Only others have calculated him, and there is me behind him. Can he have many friends? His friends either want to trick him or borrow his hand to trick me! Can you also call friends? Alas, after raising such a son, I dare not ask for anything else, just hope that he can die safely.
"The two brothers have only been old for more than ten years. There are fathers and sons. This is the blessing of the seventh and fourteenth masters."
"I hope they both have this blessing." Yao Xianggong sighed with a few worries.
