721-730

Chapter 721 The

big troll who often sprays this and that in the court: Yes, what misunderstanding do you have about gentlemen? Hey, why should I scold myself?

Wen Dajun was very embarrassed, the queen actually scolded him!

Ying Niang was also shocked and looked at Lin Xuezhu speechlessly.

Lin Xuezhu looked at Yingniang, then at Wen Daxiuzi, and finally when his eyes fell on the face of the Minister of Rites, he saw the half-grown old man nodding in agreement.

Lin Xuezhu hooked her finger at Ying Niang and motioned for her to come over.

Yingniang flinched a little, but seeing Lin Xuezhu's very kind expression, she plucked up the courage to go over.

Lin Xuezhu lowered her voice and said, "Do you know how your brother was sprayed by Mr. Wen in the court? You said he was a brilliant gentleman. Have you ever considered your brother's feelings?"

Yingniang was stunned.

She didn't know about her brother's affairs in the court, so how could the female family members at home interfere with the affairs in the court?

My brother didn't say anything when he got home.

Yingniang didn't know how to answer.

Lin Xuezhu shook her head, feeling like "a businesswoman doesn't know how to hate the country's subjugation."

Ying Niang's face turned red immediately, and when she looked at her brother's expression, she felt a little guilty.

Wen Dafanzi and the Minister of Rites looked confused.

What did the queen say?

Why does Yingniang look so weird?

Lin Xuezhu successfully applied eye drops to Wen Daxiangzi and felt much more comfortable.

A man who attracts the attention is really careless.

After a while, I felt very good.

Lin Xuezhu said sternly: "Master Wen is an upright man, especially his attitude towards his first wife, which fully demonstrates the responsibilities of a good man. I am also very satisfied with this."

After hearing this, Wen Dafanzi immediately He straightened his back and looked so proud that the Minister of Rites wanted to hit someone.

Lin Xuezhu continued: "Lord Wen, I am interested in being a matchmaker for you, but on this occasion today, I am quite embarrassed."

As soon as these words came out, Wen Dafanzi, the Minister of Rites, and Yingniang were all shocked.

At this moment, Mother Ma hurried back and whispered to Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu nodded after listening.

Just now, she asked Mother Ma to go and quietly tell Lin Jiayuan what happened between Wen Dafanzi and Yingniang.

An opponent appears. Let's see if Lin Jiayuan wants to face the difficulty or retreat.

She felt that Yingniang was more radical and brave in her attitude towards dealing with the person she loved, and she quite admired it.

Lin Jiayuan's good impression of Wen Dashuzi must at least support her willingness to compete fairly with Yingniang, and then Lin Xuezhu will fight for her.

Otherwise, let the brave people have more opportunities.

However, what Mother Ma brought back was that Lin Jiayuan was willing to fight for it.

Even if she doesn't succeed, she has no regrets.

Lin Xuezhu knew it well.

The reason why my aunt is like this is that she is probably attracted to Wen Daxiuzi.

So, Lin Xuezhu was silent for a moment and asked: "Master Wen, you are not a habitual offender of throwing people into the water when you are drunk, right?" When Wen

Dafan heard this, his old face turned red and he said: "Reply Queen, I really didn't see the lake outside."

Lin Xuezhu nodded and said, "If you really have the habit of throwing people into the water, I will not help you matchmaking, and I will not advise Ying Niang to continue to admire you. You. But since you don't have such bad habits, I want to give you a chance to choose. Who do you want to choose, Ying Niang or my aunt?"

As soon as these words came out, the three people below stared. Big eyes.

The Minister of Rites was the first to react and said quickly: "Queen, how can the sister of a humble minister compete with the queen's aunt?"

Before he could think of the second sentence, Lin Xuezhu slapped the table, "I just said Everything I said to you was in vain!"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry." The Minister of Rites felt bitter after being criticized again.

Lin Xuezhu rolled her eyes at him, "Today's matter is that both Ying Niang and my aunt have fallen in love with Lord Wen. It is a matter between the three of them and has nothing to do with you or me."

This sentence means a lot. It's obvious. I hope Wen Dashou doesn't have to consider her face when making a choice.

After that, she looked at Wen Daxiuzi again and said: "Master Wen, to be honest, my aunt, like Ying Niang, also took a fancy to your affection for your late wife. But she is different from Ying Niang. Unfortunately, my aunt may not admire you as much as Ying Niang does. No matter who you choose, there are pros and cons, it depends on how you weigh it."

After that, Lin Xuezhu fell silent and waited for the big comment. Choose for yourself.

Her behavior of being a matchmaker is unbelievable in modern times.

But in ancient times, it was very logical.

In ancient times, marriage between a man and a woman involved finding a matchmaker. Once both parties were satisfied with the other's conditions, they could get married.

Most men and women have never met before marriage.

Those loving couples also follow the script of marriage first and love later.

Therefore, she did not feel that it was outrageous to let the unprepared Wen Daxizi choose between Yingniang and Lin Jiayuan.

Just as she was thinking about this, Wen Daxiuzi said: "Back to the queen, Wei Chen and his wife are deeply in love, so they are willing to mourn for his wife for three years. Now that the mourning period has expired, Wei Chen does have plans to renew his relationship. Now that two choices were placed in front of Wei Chen, Wei Chen could only say, "I am flattered."

Lin Xuezhu felt refreshed when she saw Wen Da Tuzi, who was usually unscrupulous in order to criticize others, became polite in a rare way.

I heard the big troll continued: "The minister chooses the queen's aunt."

As soon as the words fell, the face of the Minister of Rites suddenly showed an expression of "Sure enough,".

There was a consensus among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty that the Wen Da Tsaizi were the lackeys of the emperor and empress.

He did not hesitate to make enemies of all the courtiers, just to cling to the emperor's lap.

Now there is an opportunity to marry the Queen's family, how could he let it go!

Humph, you treacherous villain!

Lin Xuezhu could see the expression on the face of the Minister of Rites.

She disagreed.

The ancients valued conditions when getting married. With her as the queen's niece, my aunt had an advantage in the marriage and love market. These were the realistic conditions, and there was nothing she could do if she refused.

However, when she saw Wen Daxizi's frank look, she couldn't help but become curious about his real thoughts.

So, she asked: "Mr. Wen, can you tell me the reasons for your decision?"

This was also asked for Lin Jiayuan.

It's about whether their marriage can be stable.

When she asked this question, many possibilities were already running through her mind.

However, what Wen Datai said was beyond her expectation.

Wen Dashengzi said bluntly: "Back to the queen, Weichen is the censor and has the responsibility of supervising all officials. In other words, Weichen often sprays this and that in the court. If Weichen marries the sister of the Minister of Rites , then do you want to criticize the Minister of Rites in the future? If the Minister of Rites behaves inappropriately, should Wei Chen participate or not? Therefore, it seems that Wei Chen cannot marry the family members of any officials. "

Chapter 722 Mr. Wen is too popular.

Lin Xuezhu had calculated everything but failed to figure out that the reason why Mr. Wen agreed to marry Lin Jiayuan was because he was afraid that marrying someone else would delay him.

In particular, he made it clear that he wanted to insult the Minister of Etiquette, so he was determined not to marry his sister.

After hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

I heard that the big troll hadn't finished expressing what he meant, and continued: "Weichen is the emperor's minister and supports all the emperor's decisions. Therefore, Weichen can marry the queen's aunt, because Weichen will not troll the queen."

These words made the Minister of Rites become so angry that he fell to his knees.

He really has never seen such a shameless person who can describe clinging to power in such a fresh and refined way.

What made him even more angry was that this big troll wanted to troll him.

The Minister of Rites organized his language and said: "But the Queen's aunt is not only the Queen's aunt, but also Master Lin's sister. Don't you have to worry about this?"

After hearing this, Wen Daxizi immediately looked at him with a look. Looking at the Minister of Rites with a retarded expression, he said: "Master Lin is the empress's father and the head of the country. Will he not support the empress's decision? Master Lin and the empress advance and retreat together. I support the empress. Why should I criticize Lin?" Sir? "

There's nothing wrong with the logic!"

Lin Xuezhu almost laughed.

"You are just mindless flattery!" The Minister of Etiquette took the risk. He had received too much bad breath today.

If you can't vent your anger on the Queen, why don't you have a showdown with Mr. Wen?

Speaking of spraying, you won't feel sleepy if you smell a big sprayer.

He immediately cheered up, calmed down, and said: "Brainless? Which of the emperor's decrees do you think is wrong, and which of the queen's actions is not good for the country and the people? Say it, and let's make a clear distinction in front of the queen. If it doesn't work, the emperor is also in the Lin Mansion, why don't you go to the emperor and tell him directly?" After

being insulted by him, the Minister of Rites realized that he had said something wrong, and he immediately knelt down to ask for forgiveness.

Lin Xuezhu didn't bother to look at him, and waved her hand directly, "I know you have no regrets in your heart, so there is no need to go through this formality."

The Minister of Rites almost peed with fright. He was about to plead guilty, but Lin Xuezhu had already stood up and spat at Wen. Zi said: "Now that Lord Wen has made his choice, let's choose a good day and find someone to come to the house to propose marriage."

Seeing the state of the family not speaking to each other made the Minister of Rites feel even colder.

It's over, this big troll got into the imperial family, and from now on in the court, he will troll whoever he likes, and no one can control him.

The Minister of Rites had a complicated mood. He suddenly realized that Lin Xuezhu had walked out of the room.

Yes, there is no need to offend, just take the offence.

After Lin Xuezhu left, Wen Xiuqing, Ma Ma and Wen Dafenzi also followed.

There were only two people left in the room, the Minister of Rites and his younger sister Yingniang.

The Minister of Etiquette was quite embarrassed. Seeing that Ying Niang hated the iron, he said, "Look at what you have done!"

He did not dare to say anything that women should be honest, so as not to be overheard and make it worse. The Queen had a bad impression of him.

However, the trouble today was all caused by his sister, so he was implicated for no reason.

The Minister of Rites had just begun to speak, but the Ying Niang glanced at her shrinking look and squinted at her brother.

Unhappily, he said: "Brother, you still say it's all your fault!"

The Minister of Rites was about to cry, "Why do you blame me? I'm so good, but you blame me because you were reprimanded by the queen several times? "

Yingniang said matter-of-factly: "If you don't blame me, who should you blame? Mr. Wen obviously wants to continue his marriage. Although our family background is not as good as that of the queen, I may not be able to fight against the queen's aunt. As a result Because Mr. Wen hates my brother, he also hates me. And brother, as the Minister of Rites, why don't you do a good job and let Mr. Wen point out the mistakes and even refer to you in

the court? If so, the Minister of Rites still has room to refute.

The second half of the sentence made a lump of phlegm stick in his throat.

What's the matter? Not only was he being trolled in the court and disliked by the empress, but he also had to be scolded by his sister?

However, he couldn't argue with the fact that he was involved in a book. After all, it was a fact.

The Minister of Etiquette calmed down and said, "How can you fight? That Wen Dafanzi is a person who wants to be popular. If he doesn't marry the queen's aunt, how can he marry you? Don't listen to what he says." , In fact, he is interested in his family background. Huh, he also said some high-sounding words, which makes him look so noble and hypocritical!"

"Haha." Ying Niang sneered, "You can also say that he is hypocritical, after all. You are not favored by the emperor! If I continue to follow the emperor's influence, it is useless for you to be jealous, and the queen will not choose you to be your uncle."

These words made the Minister of Rites even more worried. .

Otherwise, the person who hurts you the most will always be the person closest to you.

Only the people closest to you know where your pain lies.

The Minister of Etiquette was so angry that his chest heaved, and he pointed at his sister and said: "You are a damn girl with your elbows turned outwards. Even the big fan rejected you, and you still speak for him! I have been hurting you all these years in vain. You will be in trouble!"

Ying Niang curled her lips and said, "It doesn't matter if you love me, you can't even keep the person I want to marry, huh!"

After saying that, Ying Niang turned her head and left. .

Minister of Rites: So angry!

On the other side, Lin Xuezhu returned to the flower viewing party.

As soon as she appeared, everyone fixed their expectant eyes on her, with gossipy expressions on their faces.

Lin Xuezhu's expression was indifferent, "It was an accident that my sister, the Minister of Rites, fell into the water. I heard that Master Wen was drunk and fell asleep by the lake. It was a coincidence."

Everyone: Do you think we believe it or not?

However, they just didn't believe it and had no choice.

Who can tell the Queen to talk about things she doesn't want to say?

One by one, they had no choice but to pretend as if nothing had happened and continue admiring the flowers.

Yuan Xiu approached Lin Xuezhu and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Lin Xuezhu smiled, "Husband, don't worry, I will tell you when I return to the palace later. There is actually nothing new about this matter. However, we discussed this matter just now At that time, I settled my aunt's marriage issue by the way. I will ask Qin Tianjian to choose a good day when Mr. Wen will come to propose marriage."

Yuan Xiu was taken aback and praised: "Madam, you are too quick to do it. "

It won't work if you don't hurry up. Mr. Wen is too popular," Lin Xuezhu concluded.

Yuan Xiu looked slightly surprised, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Wen Daxiuzi who arrived later.

Popular? Why?

Wen Daxiuzi suddenly trembled when he noticed the scrutiny from the emperor.

Damn, he was originally a close minister of the emperor, but because he wanted to marry the queen's aunt, he was rejected by the emperor.

Does the Emperor feel that he is not worthy of the Queen's aunt?

Chapter 723 Wen Dafanzi is so talented.

The more Wen Dafanzi thought about it, the more he felt that things were just as he thought.

Normally, the way the emperor looked at him was either curious about how he would slander others, or encouraging him to slander others to death. He never looked at it carefully.

Wen Dafanzi was nervous when he heard a voice coming from behind him, "Dad, are you sober?"

Wen Dafanzi turned around and saw that it was his daughter, and he was relieved.

What a good girl, you have to save your father from the siege.

Wen Daxiuzi quickly pretended to be attracted by his daughter and avoided Yuan Xiu's sight.

As soon as the father and daughter got together, Miss Wen said, "Dad, something happened in the guest room just now. My daughter was listening to the noise outside. Did Daddy hear it?"

Wen's face turned red.

How can I not hear it? This incident has something to do with him.

Wen Dafanzi asked: "Daughter, didn't you go out to watch the fun just now?"

Miss Wen shook her head, "My daughter knew there was something fishy outside, so it was inconvenient for her to go out, so she waited in the room. Until the silence outside, my daughter I just planned to take a look at my father, but was told by the servants of the Lin Mansion that my father had left, so I hurriedly came out to find my father."

Wen Daxiangzi nodded. My daughter did a good job in this and did not stand up for anything. Trouble will not come to you.

He looked around and saw that among the people admiring the flowers, there were always a few who seemed to be staring at him, and he knew that those people had not received a satisfactory answer from the queen, and were still hoping to find some clues from him.

So, Wen, the big troll, said: "Just now, the sister of the Minister of Rites slipped and fell into the water, so there was a lot of noise. She is a woman. It will be useless to talk about this kind of thing. My daughter, don't ask."

Miss Wen knew the importance, Hearing this, he said no more.

Her father was away just now, so she stayed alone in the guest room and was unable to enjoy the flowers with everyone.

With her biological father by her side now, she quickly turned her attention to flower viewing.

I heard a lot of trolls but had no intention of admiring the flowers, which made me feel confused.

By chance, an old scholar from the Hanlin Academy noticed his distracted look and came over to talk to him.

The old scholar said: "Master Wen, we just held a poetry meeting with Gui as the theme. Master Wen is usually eloquent in the court, so naturally this poetry meeting cannot be without Master Wen. Why don't you write a poem for me? Let's appreciate it, everyone?"

Before Wen Daxi became a censor and completely abandoned his quality, he also relied on the imperial examination to get to the court step by step.

Don't look at him saying anything when he's trolling. When he was young, he also liked to recite a few acid poems with his classmates.

Although he could not compare with those great talents in composing poetry, he could still write it well.

But at this moment, he didn't pay any attention to the old scholar's thoughts.

Knowing that the other party was waiting to see his joke, Wen Daxizi's eyes moved and he said: "The fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the golden autumn, there is a river beside the flowers, the river is deep and the waves are frivolous, and the poems are frivolous."

In four sentences, he directly described the poem he just composed. Everyone cursed.

The old scholar was so angry that he almost pouted. He raised a trembling finger and pointed at Wen Dafanzi, "You, you, you..."

"Thank you for the compliment." After Wen Dafanzi finished speaking, he pushed aside the crowd and went to find his daughter. Went.

He couldn't stay at the birthday party any longer and wanted to go home.

Miss Wen was a considerate person. Seeing that her father looked wrong, she immediately agreed to his request to go home.

The father and daughter were about to leave when they heard screams from the crowd.

"Master Zhai, what's wrong with you?"

"Come here quickly, Master Zhai poked his head over."

Wen Dafanzi was all excited and turned to look at the old scholar.

The old scholar rolled his eyes and straightened his upper body.

Several people who went to help him struggled to catch him.

Someone said: "Mr. Wen, what did you say to Mr. Zhai? Why did he stick it out?"

"I just composed a poem!" Wen Datai looked innocent.

At this moment, Lin Chengyao ran over.

As soon as he heard that someone had fainted, he asked the boy to get his medicine box while he went to see the patient first.

After checking his pulse, Lin Chengyao said: "It's nothing serious, I'm just so angry."

Mr. Zhai became very angry after talking to Wen Dafanzi. It can be seen that Wen Dafanzi must have said something that shouldn't be said.

If this matter were to be placed on others, everyone would have to seek verification. But if it was placed on Wen Daxizi, it would basically be a real hammer.

Who knows that the Wen Da Tuzi is usually a bitch who speaks freely and specializes in attacking other people's shortcomings?

For a time, everyone accused Wen Da of being a troll.

"Master Wen, how old is Master Zhai? This is not in the court. Besides, Master Zhai has done nothing wrong. Why can't you let him go?"

"That's right, this is still in the court, Master Lin. It's my birthday at my house. It's very unlucky for Mr. Zhai to faint. Mr. Wen, even if you don't care about Mr. Zhai's face, you have to look at Mr. Lin's face! "

" What if Mr. Zhai has a shortcoming? My house... Sigh, Mr. Wen, you are really wrong about this. "

Wen, the big troll, usually trolls whoever is unhappy in the court.

At this moment, everyone finally caught the opportunity to attack him, how could they give up easily, and immediately you said something to me, talking happily.

Wen Dashouzi didn't look very good.

Considering that Mr. Zhai is quite old, he is still as small-minded as a needle. He is so angry that he still has to blackmail others, right?

While everyone was talking, the boy ran back with the medicine box.

Lin Chengyao took out a Qingxin Pill from the medicine box and fed it to Mr. Zhai.

After a while, Mr. Zhai woke up faintly.

He coughed a few times, making his whole body tremble and looked pitiful.

Finally, he glanced at everyone suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like this?"

"Master Zhai, Master Wen doesn't admit that he made you faint. Now that you're awake, you still have to look at me. " Can you tell us what happened just now?" Someone said.

Master Zhai seemed to have just come back to his senses, and immediately turned his reproachful eyes to Wen Dashouzi.

Then, he slowly told what happened just now.

After hearing the so-called poem written by the big fan, everyone almost couldn't help but get angry.

The emperor was nearby just now, so they wanted to express their talents to the best of their ability and hope to attract the emperor's attention, so almost all of them wrote poems.

Unexpectedly, they are all bastards in the eyes of Wen Dafan!

Everyone was not calm anymore, and they all planned to condemn Mr. Wen with their mouths.

At this time, Lin Xuezhu's voice was heard first, "Husband, did you compose a poem just now?"

Yuan Xiu shook his head.

He was born as a military general and didn't like poetry.

Just now, he just listened to the poems written by others.

He is the emperor, and no one dares to force him to write poetry, which is good.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, she understood.

So, she couldn't control herself and burst out laughing.

Wen Dafanzi is so talented, he even understands bastards.

Chapter 724: Who told you that you must use curse words when swearing?

Lin Xuezhu smiled, and the courtiers were not happy.

Wen Datai called them bastards. Not only did the Queen not criticize Wen Datai, but she was quite happy about it.

Doesn't this mean that the Queen also thinks they are bastards?

Thinking like this, the faces of the courtiers became ugly.

Lin Xuezhu didn't care much about this matter. Those courtiers could think whatever they wanted. After hearing about the big troll, he would be her uncle, but she would not help her relatives.

This is the tradition of their old Lin family.

The courtiers are so confused.

Led by the Hanlin Academy, they began to apply eye drops to Wen Daxizi.

"Your Majesty, today is Mr. Lin's birthday. Mr. Wen mocked us in public as..." The words "bastard" were a bit hard to say.

"You bastard." Lin Xuezhu looked at this man, with a sneer on his lips, and said it for him.

These extremely pedantic people want to complain, but they are too embarrassed to even say the word "bastard". They really don't know what to say.

This means that Yuan Xiu is present and knows the ins and outs of the matter, otherwise, who would understand what they are saying.

"Yes, yes, yes." The adult who spoke quickly climbed up the pole, "That's the indecent word."

He continued: "On Master Lin's birthday, I heard that you uttered obscene words. This is not because I mean to get into trouble with my colleagues. Master Lin, can't you get through? "

This guy is quite a thief, and he directly brought Lin Chengzhang in, which really gave Wen a big hat.

Yuan Xiu didn't even bother to open his mouth to end such nonsense.

Do you have to file a lawsuit if someone calls you a bastard? So as an emperor, can he still be busy?

I deal with these trivial matters all day long for this group of dissatisfied people. Who is assisting whom?

When Lin Xuezhu saw that he didn't say a word, she knew that he was too lazy to take care of it, so she asked, "Master Wen and Master Lin are not getting along?"

Since this matter was related to her father, she could take care of it.

"Absolutely impossible!" Wen Da, the troll, took advantage of the situation and denied it flatly. "Wei Chen only wrote such an out-of-key poem because Master Zhai deliberately wanted to embarrass him. It seemed like a curse, but in fact it was just to make Zhai Your Excellency, please stop embarrassing Wei Chen. Even if Wei Chen does curse, the person he is scolding is Master Zhai and has nothing to do with Master Lin."

This last sentence made the entire Hanlin Academy tremble . .

Master Zhai and his ilk are talking about people from the Hanlin Academy, aren't they?

The Hanlin Academy is a role model for scholars all over the world and has the highest status among students. When it comes to the mouth of this big fan, it has become the same.

Really abominable!

"Your Majesty..." As soon as that person started speaking, Lin Xuezhu interrupted him.

"Master Wen, your words have offended many people today. I would like to advise you that next time you encounter something like this, you should come to the emperor to make a decision for you," she said.

This was a strange thing to say, and except for a few people present, most of them didn't understand it.

But Wen Dafanzi understood clearly that the Queen was playing against him.

He quickly continued: "I thank the Queen for your concern. However, the Emperor is responsible for all things, for the world and all the people. How can I disturb the Emperor for such a trivial matter?"

As soon as these words came out, most people understood.

The people were trembling with anger again.

I heard that the big trolls were scolding them, saying that they didn't understand the general situation and were troubling the emperor with trivial matters?

Okay, I heard that you can do it, you are so good!

However, when the others looked at Yuan Xiu, they saw obvious admiration on his face, obviously feeling that Wen Daxiuzi was right.

People like that: It's over, the emperor despises them.

Lin Xuezhu suddenly realized, "Master Wen is so enlightened. No wonder the Emperor trusts you. You really consider the Emperor wholeheartedly. Such a minister, how can the Emperor not trust you!"

Well, these words directly put the people's faces into disrepute. Rubbed on the ground.

At this moment, Mr. Zhai woke up after taking the Qingxin Pill.

Lin Xuezhu seized the opportunity and said: "Master Zhai, you have great literary talent. I heard that Master wrote a poem and scolded you. You should treat others in their own way, but why did you get angry at yourself?"

When the people heard this, they said, It's not okay to push them together?

Is the Queen blaming Mr. Zhai who was pushed away in anger?

Women are indeed narrow-minded, their emotions are written on their faces, and they will retaliate if they respond with anger.

However, the likes did not dare to say anything. After all, the emperor was quite happy watching the show, so there was no room for them to interrupt!

Just when Mr. Zhai was about to wake up, he vaguely heard what Wen Daxizi said.

When the queen asked this, she said with an air of an old man, "Wei Chen is a scholar and doesn't know those dirty words."

"Who told you that you must use curse words when swearing?" Lin Xuezhu asked nonchalantly.

She said: "For example, now, I want to say a few words to you. You are not young anymore. You know that Mr. Wen has served as the censor in these years and is responsible for supervising all officials. He is already unfamiliar with reciting poems and writing poems. Why don't you I want him to compose a poem. Isn't this because he is so curious? Is it because he has too little work and has too much energy

? , but satirized Mr. Zhai for his narrow-mindedness and overeating.

Mr. Zhai's old face turned red. Even if he thought the Queen was meddling in her own business, he didn't dare to show it. Yuan Xiu on the side

also helped: "Since Mr. Zhai has so much energy, I will think about it after returning to the palace and arrange some things for Mr. Zhai so that Mr. Zhai can devote more thought to the country and the people."

: Even better, the emperor has also learned the queen's trick of using curse words without using curse words, so it is useless to ridicule Mr. Zhai.

Mr. Zhai: You shouldn't be rude today. In your lifetime, you will be ridiculed by the emperor and empress at the same time. Who else?

Mr. Zhai looks calm on the surface, but in fact he is close to crazy in his heart.

Lin Xuezhu said: "A ruler is short and an inch is long. Mr. Zhai has the advantage of Mr. Wen, and Mr. Wen is good at it. Mr. Zhai uses his own strengths to compare with the shortcomings of Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen can't, but only Is there a problem with being able to respond with your own strengths? "

People: I heard it. The queen said that Mr. Zhai is good at writing poems and Mr. Wen is good at cursing. Both sides use their own strengths to compete. There is nothing wrong with it.

Tsk tsk, this statement sounds unreasonable at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, how come there is still some truth in it?

This time, everyone truly agreed with Lin Xuezhu and nodded to her.

Lin Xuezhu successfully led the crowd and felt satisfied. She waved her hands and said: "Continue playing music and dancing. Just pretend that what just happened never happened."

In one sentence, Mr. Zhai had no way to complain.

People: It's another day when Mr. Wen is shielded by the emperor and the empress. It's not new at all.

At this time, Wen Dafanzi was like a victorious rooster, proudly puffing up his chest.

Did you see it? This is the favor of the royal family.

This group of people don't know about this yet, but after knowing it, they will be envious and jealous and want to say they are tired!

Chapter 725 Raising a Group of Worms

Lin Chengzhang's birthday party was full of problems, but Lin Chengzhang himself didn't care.

The purpose of the birthday banquet is to give girls a blind date.

As a result, the sister of the Minister of Etiquette interfered so much that the girl's marriage was pushed forward.

This can be considered an unexpected surprise.

As a person who was once exiled, Lin Chengzhang does not pay much attention to ritual.

There are always some situations in life, just stay alive.

If you can eat well, drink hot food, and become an official in the court, you will have earned it.

Lin Chengzhang's mentality is very Buddhist and he focuses on peace.

On the other side, Wen Daxizi is much more aggressive.

Just a few days after Lin Chengzhang's birthday party, Wen Dafanzi found an auspicious day and asked a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

This auspicious day was a personal gift he gave to Qin Tian for his calculations, which was enough to satisfy Lin Jiayuan.

Next, it's time to follow the procedure step by step.

Lin Xuezhu was careful. She made a little estimate of Wen Daxizi's family fortune and felt that as a censor who was relatively annoying in the court, he should not have any gray income.

So, she found Yuan Xiu.

When Yuan Xiu saw her coming with a food box, he said, "Madam, how did you know that your husband is hungry?"

Lin Xuezhu smiled, "My father-in-law is always watching, otherwise you wouldn't remember to eat every day."

Yuan Xiu also said. Smiling, "Thanks to Madam for taking care of me."

Lin Xuezhu glared at him angrily and put out all the food in the food box.

Yuan Xiu put away the memorial and ate with Lin Xuezhu.

After the meal, Lin Xuezhu took some fruits from the space and placed a fruit plate.

Yuan Xiu likes to eat berries the most, because these small fruits are sweet, juicy and easy on the teeth.

You can show it to your mouth while reviewing the memorial, which is very convenient.

Lin Xuezhu laid out a series of berries such as cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries for him, and then slowly spoke.

"Husband, I have heard that you are honest and upright these years, so I am afraid that your family may not be rich."

Yuan Xiu understood what she meant with just one sentence.

Lin Jiayuan was groomed by the old lady in her early years and married to a poor scholar. The family also had evil intentions and planned the woman's dowry.

I really feel wronged to Lin Jiayuan.

This time, Lin Jiayuan remarried. Lin Xuezhu didn't want to wrong her aunt and wanted to give her the best. This was human nature.

It would be fine if the family didn't have that condition. The conditions are there, and it's impossible to keep a low profile.

Yuan Xiu said, "What Madam said is true. Mr. Wen has devoted himself to the imperial court these years, and now he wants to marry again. How can my husband, who is the emperor, not express his gratitude?"

"Is it that simple?" Lin Xuezhu was shocked.

Originally, she wanted to discuss with Yuan Xiu to find some reason to reward Wen Daxiuzi.

As a result, Yuan Xiu actually planned to give money directly on the grounds that Wen Dataizi remarried.

It's just... quite simple and crude.

Yuan Xiu looked at Lin Xuezhu and smiled, "If Madam wanted to find a reason to reward your beloved, it's not easy to find this reason. He has neither military merit nor obvious political achievements, how can he be rewarded?"

Lin Xuezhu scratched her head, "That's right, his official position is important and important, and it can't be said or done. If he trolls others all day long, his political achievements cannot be calculated based on how many people he trolls."

"Or if he happened to troll someone recently. Officials who violate the law or have bad moral conduct can be considered a great achievement. However, the people he has criticized recently are officials who do not agree with the decree I want to promulgate. This can only be regarded as a disagreement and cannot be punished. "People are condemned!"

"Oh, these courtiers will oppose our opinions every day, and they can't do anything important. You want to let them come up with better opinions. They don't have the ability, but others. What did he say, and they all disagreed again?" Lin Xuezhu slapped the case, worried.

Yuan Xiu still laughed, "So it sounds like Madam wants them to commit crimes?"

"Only if these mediocre people continue to do this, can real talents fill the gap!" Lin Xuezhu said.

Yuan Xiu smiled and scratched her nose, and said: "Madam, don't be anxious, everything cannot be accomplished overnight, it must be done step by step. In recent years, we have opened two more Encores and selected many well-educated people. These people are all in the local area. As for the training, when they are almost done with it, it's time to change the blood of the imperial court."

Lin Xuezhu also understands this.

Most of the old ministers in the imperial court today were left behind by the late emperor.

Yuan Xiu had only been on the throne for a few years, and he had just stabilized his foundation. He couldn't be in such a hurry to deal with these stubborn guys.

If we really want to clean it up, we have to wait until the talents are cultivated.

Therefore, Yuan Xiu opened Enke in non-imperial examination years to select more talents.

These talents are now shining in the local area, sorting out local problems for Yuan Xiu, and giving Yuan Xiu time to inspect them carefully.

When some of these people show extraordinary talents, it is time for them to go to court.

This is what happened.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Husband, I think we should change the system of appointment and removal of officials?"

"What do you mean, madam?" Yuan Xiu was puzzled.

"Look, husband, if your family has a title, the title is hereditary, which gives birth to a privileged class. The descendants do not have to do anything. They can rely on the shadow of their ancestors to live peacefully and live the life of a playboy. . They can live as they please, but why should they ask the court to provide them with unlimited resources? Isn't this equivalent to the court paying to raise a bunch of moths? " Lin Xuezhu said.

Yuan Xiu nodded, "My husband understands what Madam means. It's just that most of these families are intertwined, and marriages between families have further expanded their power. It's not that the previous emperors didn't want to rectify this phenomenon, they were just afraid of the consequences. It's just unbearable. If there is a comprehensive strategy that can weaken their power and prevent them from rebelling collectively, we can try it."

Lin Xuezhu understood what Yuan Xiu meant.

Although the couple, one controls the army and the other owns the largest chamber of commerce in the country, they can be said to be invincible and are not afraid of rebellion by others.

But if the court is really unstable, it will affect more than just the two of them.

People who jump over the wall in a hurry sometimes do not do it to gain benefits, but may just do it to vent their anger.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. You really push people to that point. If they make you uncomfortable, you have to suffer.

Lin Xuezhu thought this and calmed down.

I heard Yuan Xiu say: "Wen Aiqing is my favorite. He has been an upright official for many years. He is about to get married. I will give him some rewards that others can't explain."

"In that case, there is no need to do anything. If the money from the treasury is gone, the money should come from the Northern Chamber of Commerce. The money from the treasury should still be used on the people," Lin Xuezhu said.

"This is very good." Yuan Xiu agreed.

Chapter 726: I can't touch this treasury's money?

Yuan Xiu and his wife discussed the charter.

In the morning of the next day, Yuan Xiu became concerned about Wen Dafanzi's marriage directly in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

Wen Dafanzi was flattered and said, "Thank you for your concern, the wedding preparations went smoothly."

What he didn't say was that he had really racked his brains to get a decent betrothal gift.

The family collected everything they could, and even asked their married son to borrow some.

During this time, his daughter-in-law looked at him with quite complicated eyes.

It seems like he doesn't believe it, and he seems to be complaining.

Also, who would have thought that the dignified Royal Censor would be so strapped for money.

Wen Dafanzi couldn't sleep for several days because of this matter.

He even called his eldest daughter over and asked, "Daughter, do you think dad was impulsive when he agreed to marry the queen's aunt? Is the Lin family something we can reach?"

Speaking of this, the eldest daughter said The woman also had lingering fears.

When she entered the palace, she was scratched by other beautiful women. Although the queen said that she would find a marriage for her, she had indeed recommended many good men to her over the years.

But she just felt discouraged and didn't want to get married.

Now that her father is marrying the queen's aunt, she is also afraid that getting involved with the royal family will cause untold trouble.

But then I thought about whether daddy was a man or a favorite of the emperor. The emperor and queen should protect daddy.

Speaking of this, the queen asked her if she wanted to go to the Northern Chamber of Commerce to work. She didn't want to go out to meet people, so she refused.

Now that I think about it, it is better to do things in the first place, so that if my father marries again, he can get more dowry gifts.

The eldest daughter had no choice but to comfort Wen Dafanzi. She also took out all her gold and silver jewelry and asked her father to find a craftsman to melt it down, and then beat out some new jewelry to add to the betrothal gift.

Thinking of this, I feel sad when I hear the big troll.

If he hadn't married the queen's aunt, he wouldn't have had to pay so much as a betrothal gift. His family's financial resources were completely sufficient.

It's just... the queen's aunt, if he doesn't go bankrupt, how can he show that he values ​​this marriage!

Hearing the news made me feel bitter, but as a minister, how can I cry in front of the emperor?

No matter how difficult it is, you still have to hold on and say it's okay!

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the emperor above me speak, "I heard that Aiqing has been responsible for supervising hundreds of officials these years, and she has been really dedicated and hard-working. I know that you are an upright man, and now that your wedding is about to happen, I will reward you with gold." Fifty thousand taels, for wedding purposes."

Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this.

How many? Fifty thousand taels of gold? He has never seen so much money in his life!

The emperor is too generous!

There are other courtiers who are just as stupid as him.

What does this mean, Your Majesty?

Apart from trolling people, what other good things has he done over the years?

He is really dedicated. He spends every day thinking about how to please the emperor, right?

Now he is trying to become the queen's uncle.

It's so hard!

Just like that, the emperor still wants to reward him?

Don't be too outrageous!

An old minister was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, emperors have cared for their ministers and issued silver coins to express their condolences on happy and funeral events. But firstly, I heard that this is not the first marriage, but a second marriage, so it is not appropriate to make a big deal. Secondly, Even the emperor's close ministers have no reason to seal fifty thousand taels of gold."

When the courtiers and the emperor had disagreements, Wen Dataizi would stand up and confront them.

It just happened that today, the matter where the courtiers were rebelling had something to do with him. If he came out to slander people, it would look like he was coveting the fifty thousand taels of gold.

In the words of the Queen, this is called eating and looking too ugly.

Wen Dashouzi was in a dilemma for a while.

At this moment, Yuan Xiu spoke, "Although Mr. Wen is not married for the first time, I didn't catch up with him when he got married. Now, while Mr. Wen is renewing our relationship, I would like to express my feelings. Is there any problem with this?"

Wen Da The troll's eyes instantly turned red.

The emperor was defending him.

The emperor not only sympathized with his poverty, but also sympathized with his difficulty in confronting the old guy, so he took the stage himself.

There is such a considerate king who cares about his subjects. Even if his body is broken to pieces, he will fight to the death!

Before he could finish his emotion, the old minister became anxious, "Your Majesty, the wealth of the national treasury is to maintain the operation of the country and ensure the well-being of the people. How can one use a lot of it for one minister?"

The implication is that Did Yuan Xiu use his power for personal gain?

Yuan Xiu raised a sneer on his lips, picked up a pamphlet from his right hand, and said, "Master Ruan, now that you have said this, I have to argue with you."

As he said that, he held up the pamphlet. He said: "Here are the records of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The money borrowed from the treasury by the ministers of the DPRK and China. I can read a few for you. Mr. Cheng, the eldest son is getting married. He borrowed 100,000 taels of silver for more than seven years and has not yet returned it. Mr. Fang, who had some conscience, borrowed 50,000 taels of silver and repaid 600 taels in four years. Mr. Yan was even more outrageous, borrowing 200,000 taels for more than twenty years to repair his ancestral home. Mr. Yan has retired and returned to his hometown. Mr. Yan is still in the court. I want to ask, is it time for your family's ancestral home to be repaired again? How much money will be borrowed from the treasury this time

? When he heard his name, his face suddenly turned red and he felt ashamed.

Among the three of them, except Master Fang, whose loan was borrowed during Yuan Xiu's reign, the other two were borrowed during the reign of the previous emperor.

Originally, since the late emperor died, they thought that these accounts would also die with him. Unexpectedly, the emperor would reveal them today.

Yuan Xiu flipped through the pamphlet and said: "Master Ruan talks about serving the country and the people, and the righteousness of the family and the country. Let me see if you have ever emptied the national treasury..."

Master Ruan's face suddenly changed, and he almost knelt down because his legs gave out. .

The late emperor was a generous man and had no shortage of money in the treasury, so he did not care if the courtiers borrowed money from the treasury when they were in trouble.

Therefore, the courtiers developed the habit of borrowing money from the treasury whenever something happened.

Originally, even for first-class officials, their annual salary was only a little over a thousand taels, so how could they support their expenses which often cost tens of thousands of taels.

And they are used to talking about pomp and circumstance. Where can they borrow money if they don't borrow money from the treasury?

In fact, many officials have private property and make a lot of income every year.

How can you spend your own money as happily as spending money from the treasury!

Everyone borrows it anyway, and those who don't will lose it!

Yuan Xiu thought: "Master Ruan is a big borrower. On average, every three years, Master Ruan has to borrow ten or twenty thousand taels of silver. It seems that he is not as good as Master Cheng, Master Fang, and Master Yan. But. Added together, the total is not bad. It seems that Mr. Ruan is taking the path of long water!"

The irony of these words made Mr. Ruan want to dig his face into the cracks of the ground.

Yuan Xiu threw the pamphlet aside lightly and said: "The national treasury of feelings has become your private treasury. You are extravagant and wasteful, and live a luxurious life, and you want the national treasury to provide money for your enjoyment! But I cannot touch the national treasury. Money? "

Chapter 727:

The words of Yuan Xiu, the emperor, made all the ministers in the court who had borrowed money from the treasury feel ashamed.

Generally speaking, unless he has made a big mistake, the emperor must save some face for his ministers in the court.

Even if I make a mistake, I will make insinuations and say it in a vague way.

As the saying goes, leave a hint when speaking so that we can meet each other easily in the future.

If both parties understand it, it's over.

Therefore, one of the most important skills for ministers is to be obedient.

Try to guess the underlying meaning of every word the king says.

They never thought that for kings, there is also an important skill, which is how to speak beyond words.

Yuan Xiu is not good at this.

But over the years, I have given up martial arts and turned to literature, and I have had to practice speaking in a roundabout way.

However, today, he did not show any tact, but went straight to the face of those courtiers.

We are all human beings, and everyone understands that this is a sign that the emperor has lost his patience.

This shows that these ministers, especially those whose names were directly named by the emperor, have almost no value in his heart.

And those who were not named showed that the emperor still wanted to leave some room for them, which was a blessing in misfortune.

Just when everyone was in their respective states, Yuan Xiu spoke again, "Although Mr. Ruan said one thing and did another, what he just said was correct. The purpose of the national treasury is to ensure the safety of all people and prevent the turmoil of the country. Therefore, the silver of the national treasury , should not become the private property of some people. I will give you a period of half a year to make up for the money borrowed from the treasury, and I will forget about it. Otherwise, I will not mind establishing a new law to regulate the use of silver in the treasury. "

When the courtiers heard this, they said, good fellow, the emperor wants the money back.

If he defaults on payment, he will be punished.

For a time, in the court, all ministers whose debts were not clear were in danger.

Secretly, they know how to choose.

As long as the official position is there, there is no need to worry about money or anything.

However, for most of them, the amount of money borrowed from the treasury is too huge, and it would be very difficult to repay it within half a year.

Once money is spent, how do you get it back?

As the ministers thought about it, they began to resent Old Man Ruan.

This old man has to stop getting involved with the big troll.

Originally, there was a precedent set by the late emperor, and it was no big deal for ministers to borrow money from the treasury.

It's good now. That old man Ruan put him on the line and contacted the country and the people.

If you don't pay back the money, you will be hindering the development of the country and competing with the people for profits. It will be a big hat on your head.

It seems that the money has to be paid back.

At this moment, Master Ruan was also extremely regretful.

As written in the account book, he borrowed money from the treasury and adopted a long-term strategy.

Borrowing ten thousand or twenty thousand taels when something happens, it seems that he is not living extravagantly, and is even a little simple.

But it can't last forever, and it accumulates a lot.

Alas, if my butt is not clean, how can I blame others?

It's fine this time, everything I ate will be vomited out.

Cold sweat broke out on the old man's head.

However, he had not thought at this moment that he had become the public enemy of most of the court.

The resentment of not being able to pay for the money is now gathering towards him.

Yuan Xiu glanced coldly at the courtiers in the hall who were all occupied with their own thoughts, and an imperceptible sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

This is where he is. If he wants to deal with these old guys who have nothing to do with their corpses, he must first let them spit out everything they have greedily put in.

We should also let other officials see how miserable those who use office as a means of profit will suffer.

Yuan Xiu and others calmed down and continued: "Master Ruan is full of righteousness and cares about the country and the people, which makes me feel very happy. As an emperor, if I object to what others do, I can't do it myself. I will reward Master Wen. The gold does not come from the treasury, but the queen comes from the Northern Chamber of Commerce and is awarded to Lord Wen in my name. My dear friends, do you have any objections to this approach?"

The ministers were a little dumbfounded when they heard this.

Then he realized that what happened today was all a plan set by the emperor!

Let the courtiers misunderstand first, and then wait until someone comes out to object, then take out the account books and force the courtiers to pay back the money.

After the overall situation has been decided, it will be revealed that the silver reward is provided by the Northern Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, the emperor and empress gained enough fame, and the courtiers had legitimate reasons to get back the money they owed to the treasury.

Really, kill multiple birds with one stone.

Suddenly, the courtiers' hearts were filled with the feeling of being betrayed by the king.

But then I thought about it, if Lord Ruan had not raised any objection in court and had spoken so righteously, the emperor would not have found a reason to take out the account books and collect debts from the courtiers.

Could it be that Master Ruan and the Emperor were involved in this matter today?

The reactions of the courtiers were fast and slow, but gradually, everyone thought of this level.

They all turned their anger and condemnation towards Lord Ruan.

Lord Ruan only felt a cold feeling behind his back, and then he realized that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

But he didn't dare to move, for fear that the emperor would have back-ups waiting for him.

In such an irreversible situation where you have dug your own pit and jumped out of it, the operation with the least loss is to shut up, shut up, shut up.

Then, Yuan Xiu said to Lin Chengzhang, the Minister of Household Affairs: "Master Lin, I will leave it to you to collect the debt. If there are any obstacles in this, just tell me and I will support you."

Listen . Listen, the emperor used honorific titles when facing his father-in-law.

Just... a clear showing of favoritism.

What they didn't know was that this was only the first step in Yuan Xiu's plan for Lin Chengzhang.

The father-in-law has been in charge of the household department for so many years, and the sincere cooperation with his wife has made the national treasury very rich.

Through this relationship, many courtiers who were active in their minds were restrained.

As long as the debts owed by the courtiers are recovered, the treasury can be handed over to proper management.

Although it is not easy to recover arrears, it is not a problem.

The father-in-law and his wife are such a scheming daughter. As long as the wife takes action, they will be managed so that the courtiers can't even complain.

He just waited and watched the excitement.

Then, the father-in-law was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials.

At that time, the future uncle will be responsible for the impeachment, the father-in-law will be responsible for the process, and the court will begin to reshuffle.

Step by step, Yuan Xiu planned everything.

He wants to hurry up and hurry up.

Sort out the old ills of this country as soon as possible. When it is handed over to Chongyu, this should be a clear country!

Yuan Xiu waved his hand, "Dear ladies, do you have anything else to report?"

Eunuch Quan immediately took over, "If you have something to do, please leave the court

if there is nothing to do -" At this time, the courtiers were not in the mood to think about anything else. Most of them were thinking about how to pay back the money.

Naturally, there is nothing to do.

Yuan Xiu stood up and left the court.

All the ministers looked disgraced, and even their steps down to court were staggering.

Chapter 728: Falling into

the trap, all the courtiers left the Qinzheng Palace. Some of them needed to stay in the palace on duty, some of them had to go to the yamen in the capital, and some of them should go home directly.

But most of them didn't go too far. They surrounded Lord Ruan in the middle, ready to start spraying.

"Master Ruan, I don't think you have such a strong sense of justice. What happened today?" someone asked.

Only then did Mr. Ruan realize that his behavior just now might have caused public outrage, and he immediately became vigilant.

As a colleague, he knows the urinal nature of these people.

No matter what matters the emperor usually discussed with them, they were vague and careless, but when it came to things that infringed on their own interests, they would not give in at all.

Maybe, I won't be able to escape from today's encounter.

Mr. Ruan's lips trembled twice, and he muttered: "You, don't you also look down on Wen Da Tsai? I am admonishing the emperor today, and I also hope that the emperor will not encourage Wen Da Tsai's arrogance. Again, If this continues, who else will be able to control Wen Datai? Haven't you all suffered from Wen Dataizi for a long time? "

Wen Dataizi is a public enemy of the court officials. He originally wanted to bring everyone to the same front.

Unexpectedly, Wen Dashouzi heard these words.

Wen Daxiuzi, who was walking behind everyone, stopped when he heard these words and changed direction.

"Come on, come on, give way." He pushed the ministers beside him.

Everyone was a little nervous when they heard the big troll's voice.

The people on both sides immediately got out of the way without even hesitating.

Then, the officials at each level stepped aside until Mr. Ruan was exposed to the attack range of Wen Da's spray.

Mr. Ruan saw his colleagues so cooperative with Wen Datai, and knew that he had offended everyone today.

At this moment, he is more annoying to his colleagues than Wen Datai.

It's over, his career is over.

Master Ruan was wailing in his heart, but he had to pretend to be calm on the surface.

He was ready, waiting for the big sprayer to start spraying.

As long as you can bear it, try your best to bear it.

If you can't bear it, the worst case scenario is that you will collapse on the ground and rely on your old age.

However, Mr. Wen's eyes only glanced at his face, and he said calmly: "Instead of pretending to be a righteous man here, Mr. Ruan, it is better to go home and find a way to collect money quickly. Mr. Ruan can pay back the money owed to the national treasury." "When

Master Ruan heard this, his heart suddenly stopped.

He has nothing to say when talking about this!

He couldn't come up with the money.

A blow, a heavy blow.

Lord Ruan's heart aches.

Others were puzzled.

This big troll is so good at trolling, what happened today? Why don't you spray?

Originally, they moved out of the way, intending to let Wen Da spray go in and spray.

If someone helps you, why not do it?

What's more, the level of trolling by the big trolls is even worse than their own.

Result, that's it?

Wen Dashouzi glanced at the stunned people from the corner of his eye and sneered in his heart.

Humph, do you think he is stupid and want to take advantage of him?

Mr. Ruan succeeded in making himself a public enemy of the courtiers today.

At this time, even if he didn't take action, someone would have to deal with Lord Ruan.

Why should he bother to make wedding clothes for others?

Let them go dog eat dog.

Wen Daxiuzi felt that he was so clever. He straightened his back and walked out of the way that everyone got out of the way.

What he didn't know was that the courtiers had already suspected that today's big drama was arranged by Lord Ruan and the emperor.

The two of them sang together, attracting others to join in.

Now seeing how peaceful the big troll is, it confirms the suspicion in his heart.

Otherwise, how could Master Ruan be easily let go, given his character of retaliating against the big trolls?

As a result, everyone looked at Mr. Ruan even more unkindly.

Master Ruan also felt this unkindness, and he himself was confused.

Although he knew that his colleagues disliked him, why could their dislike gradually escalate?

Lord Ruan felt even more anxious.

At this time, someone spoke up, "Sir Ruan, when the emperor promulgated the new decree last year, you privately hinted to us that you were dissatisfied with the new decree. How come you cooperated with the emperor in such a short period of time?"

The first half of the sentence, Master Ruan was so frightened that his legs went weak.

He looked around hastily and was about to cover the adult's mouth.

What are you talking about? He hasn't left the palace yet, but he is saying that he is dissatisfied with the emperor's decree. Does this mean he wants to send his head to be chopped off by the emperor?

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was at a loss again.

What cooperation? Who is he working with?

Seeing his confusion, everyone thought he was pretending to be stupid and looked at him with a look of care for the mentally retarded.

You're still pretending to do something so obvious. Isn't this Mr. Ruan an old fool?

Another person said: "That's right, Mr. Ruan, you are usually dissatisfied with the emperor, so we just treat it as your talk, but you have never wanted to use this matter to seek benefits from the emperor. How come Mr. Ruan himself surrendered? Could it be, What did he say about us in front of the emperor? "

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is easy to remove them.

The more everyone thought about it, the more they thought this was the case.

If Mr. Ruan didn't bring any certificate of surrender to explain to the emperor, how could the emperor trust him and leave such a big matter to him?

This old Yinbi is really too bad.

What is the word that the Queen often says?

Fishing enforcement.

How relatable.

Isn't this just deliberately speaking ill of the emperor in front of them? Once they agree or show no objection, he will take this matter to report them in front of the emperor!

Tsk tsk, I fell into a trap.

It turns out that they fell into the trap set by this old Yinbi so early.

Listening to everyone's accusations, Lord Ruan finally understood what they were suspecting.

He was so wronged that his hands and feet were numb, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

"You, you are slanderous! How can I cooperate with the emperor? I was reprimanded by the emperor in public, and I have to pay back all the money I have owed over the years."

He felt that these colleagues were really stupid.

The emperor's decrees over the years have clearly tended to slowly weaken their power.

Can't these people see it?

Lord Ruan was about to explain when he realized that these people really couldn't tell.

Because someone said: "Of course you and the emperor have to act out the whole show. The emperor reprimanded you openly, but in fact it was just killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. And if you still don't pay back your money, it's not the emperor who has the final say. If you pay it back openly, secretly I'll give it to you again, won't it be the same? "

Master Ruan was speechless and almost lost his temper.

Who knows, I have to spit out the money I swallowed, and I was wronged.

His old bones are going to be eaten alive!

Mr. Ruan gasped for breath for a long time, and finally decided to go home and calm down for the sake of his own life.

So Lord Ruan stamped his feet, roughly squeezed out of the crowd, and headed towards the palace entrance.

Chapter 729: The husband and his wife

took on the responsibility of Yuan Xiu together, and then went to Chunhua Palace.

At this time, Lin Xuezhu had learned from the palace people about Yuan Xiu's massacre in the court, and was lamenting that her husband had been in power for several years, and his methods had become more and more outrageous.

Seeing Yuan Xiu come in, she smiled and said: "Husband, come and sit down. I have been researching a lot of fresh snacks in my small kitchen recently. Do you want to use some?"

"Okay." Yuan Xiu doesn't like sweet things, but in the past Most of the pastries in the palace are quite sweet.

He likes the pastries made by his wife, which have less sugar and oil and are very light and delicious.

Lin Xuezhu waved her hand, and after a while, Luo Hong brought in a plate of snacks from outside.

"What do you say about this snack?" Yuan Xiu glanced at the exquisite presentation and felt a little appetizing.

"This is called soufflé, which is mainly made with flour and egg white." Lin Xuezhu said it lightly.

What troubled her very much in this ancient time was that there was no electricity and she could not use electrical appliances.

If you want to make Western pastries, a very important step is to pass the time.

Even though she can make homemade butter, homemade cream, and homemade cheese, she can only rely on human power to carry out this activity.

The cook in her small kitchen didn't show it on his face, but his inner collapse was self-evident.

Lin Xuezhu knew this very well, so he could only silently add monthly money to them.

With the blessing of silver, everyone's mentality finally became much calmer.

Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu each picked up a small silver spoon and took a mouthful of soufflé.

When the soufflé was put into his mouth, the light and fluffy texture made Yuan Xiu, who had never been too fond of food, couldn't help but light up his eyes.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Xuezhu smiled happily.

Yuan Xiu nodded.

He was born into a royal family and had eaten the best and rarest food in the world.

But I have never eaten food that tastes so wonderful.

How to put it, it's like clouds melting on the tip of your tongue.

In an instant, the fatigue caused by the battle of wits and courage with the courtiers in the morning seemed to be relieved at this moment.

"Is this snack worthy of admiration and joy?" Yuan Xiu asked.

It's rare that when a father eats good food, he will think of his own children.

Lin Xuezhu said with a smile: "This snack is very troublesome to make. The next one may not be ready until the afternoon. I have already arranged for someone to pick him up with Xi Le when Chong Yu gets off school and eat the freshly baked snacks." "

" Make a copy of this recipe and send it to Lin's house," Yuan Xiu said.

Lin Xuezhu suppressed laughter.

This is how much I like Soufflé, so I think about all the people I care about!

However, when Grandma Ma saw Fang Zi, she probably fainted.

She said, "It's too late today. I'll have someone make it for my aunt and little cousin tomorrow."

Courtesy reciprocates. Yuan Xiu misses her family, and she will take care of his family for Yuan Xiu.

The two chatted a few more words about their family affairs, and then Yuan Xiu told what happened in the court today.

Lin Xuezhu had already listened to the general outline from the little eunuch who had passed the message before, but now she heard Yuan Xiu's explanation, and there were many more details.

Some details were quite interesting and made her laugh out loud.

The atmosphere in the court was tense just now. Yuan Xiu had no other thoughts and only concentrated on fighting wits with the courtiers.

The atmosphere relaxed now, and it was indeed interesting to think about what just happened.

So, while talking, he laughed along with Lin Xuezhu.

While talking and laughing, Yuan Xiu's mood changed from serious and heavy to relaxed and joyful after finishing eating the soufflé.

Lin Xuezhu said: "So, your husband gave my father the task of collecting debts because he wanted me to help him deal with the court officials?" "

Is this willing, madam?" Yuan Xiu asked.

"Then why don't you want to? It's endless fun to fight with others. This is what a great man said in the era I lived in before." Lin Xuezhu said.

Yuan Xiu nodded and said: "Madam can make suggestions from behind, and let my father-in-law handle the charge into battle. Firstly, madam does not need to offend anyone for this matter; secondly, I want my father-in-law to accumulate experience in the court." The reputation in the hall. My father-in-law has been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance for a long time, and it is time to change his position. After the official position, it is time to raise his rank."

Lin Xuezhu, "That's what my husband wants. To play the role of offending others?"

Yuan Xiu choked, quite speechless.

Lin Xuezhu smiled politely.

Yuan Xiu thought for a while and said: "Being an official in the court only has different positions and political opinions, not to mention the fact that I support my father-in-law as a husband. But the wife is different. Even if the husband supports the wife, the courtiers are also doing it in secret. , secretly complaining about Madam. Therefore, my husband feels that Madam does not need to openly get into trouble. "

Lin Xuezhu said: "The husband means that if a man does the same thing, it is natural for a woman to do it. Being criticized by thousands of people?"

Yuan Xiu nodded silently.

The truth hurts sometimes, but the truth is undeniable.

How could Lin Xuezhu be hurt by such a thing? She didn't take it seriously and said: "In that case, I want to let them know that as long as I think about it, I can find a hundred ways to make them unable to survive or die. Moreover, I What I like most is how they can't stand me and can't kill me."

"Madam..." Yuan Xiu hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xuezhu always looked gentle when facing her husband.

Yuan Xiu was silent for a moment and said: "Madam, I feel sorry for you."

"That's why this matter must be done." Lin Xuezhu said firmly: "The status of women has been suppressed, and the voice of women will never be heard. I have become a queen and am the woman with the highest status in this country. But I can only achieve my status within the scope of the secular world, let alone an ordinary person? My husband loves me now because of the secular world. Most men are still on the opposite side of me. But if one day, women have the same status and voice as men, my husband will no longer have to worry about me."

After that, she smiled narrowly and said: "There is a psychological truth. This theory is called desensitization, that is, constantly stimulating a person with things that he cannot bear, until one day he tolerates it, becomes numb, and will no longer be allergic. I now want to continue to challenge those worldly things. Men's bottom line, until their bottom line is refreshed by me again and again, and becomes bottomless, then I can fight for the rights of women all over the world. "

Her idea is very simple, just do it if you don't accept it, and I will do it until you do. .

Her generation cannot fulfill her wishes, but she must sow the seeds to the next generation so that her children and grandchildren can continue her ideals.

One day, the era of equal rights for men and women will come.

Yuan Xiu looked at Lin Xuezhu's firm eyes, nodded and said: "In this case, my husband will definitely support my wife. No matter what my wife wants to do, just do it. If something goes wrong, my husband and my wife will bear it together."

Chapter 730 Wen Daxiuzi sneered at

the news that Daxiuzi was a clever man. He used all the gold that Yuan Xiu rewarded him as a betrothal gift, plus his own share, and sent it to the Lin Mansion.

On the day of the appointment, half the street was blocked by boys carrying mahogany boxes, and the scene was very grand.

Some people sneered at such a grand occasion and secretly commented: "No wonder people say that the shrewdest person in the world is the queen, and even the emperor cannot compare with her. Look, they made a lot of money from the Northern Chamber of Commerce. In the end, the money returned to the Lin family. The fifty thousand taels of gold passed through his hands without even hearing a sound. He looks smart in the court, but he is actually careless."

Hearing such remarks, Wen Dashengzi sneered - an ignorant person, marrying the queen's mother's family is what ordinary people can get. Favor? If you can't eat the grapes, then you just say the grapes are sour. Tsk, the smell is so strong that he can smell it even from so far away.

However, some people were a little more sober and analyzed the situation and said: "What you heard from the Lord is that you are abandoning the child to trap the wolf. Being married to the queen's mother's family and being trusted by the emperor will not benefit anyone in the future." He has more. This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket compared to the benefits he will get in the future."

Hearing these comments, the big troll still sneered - people with evil intentions are just as cruel as others. This is just an insult to him. Is it possible that the emperor and empress are also the kind of people who don't distinguish between public and private matters? Really, it makes people angry just to hear it!

After hearing that the big troll didn't hesitate to scold all these nonsense people, he stopped paying attention to these remarks.

He had to make good preparations for the wedding in the mansion, and he must make sure that the Lin family girl could adapt to it quickly after marrying here.

At this time, the Lin Mansion was also preparing Lin Jiayuan's dowry.

For this reason, Lin Xuezhu even made a special trip back to her parents' home from the palace.

Lin Jiayuan's dowry list is the only one in the capital.

There are not only gold and silver jewelry, but also many rare gadgets operated by the Northern Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Xuezhu knew that a woman's dowry in ancient times was equivalent to covering the items she would need throughout her life.

Everything from beds and wardrobes to pots and pans can be included in the dowry.

Therefore, she added everything that the Northern Chamber of Commerce had.

What the Northern Chamber of Commerce did not have, she had to use gold and silver to make up for it.

After all, Wen Mansion used the utmost sincerity in this marriage.

The 50,000 taels of gold that she and Yuan Xiu had rewarded were now lying safely in the Lin Mansion.

Master Wen had no reservations, so naturally she couldn't let him get married and lose everything.

The dowry she paid was all in the names of Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing, and was added to Lin Jiayuan's dowry.

In addition, Lin Chengyao and his wife, Mr. Lu, also contributed to Lin Jiayuan's makeup.

Lin Chengyao and his wife brought out a lot of valuable medicinal materials, while Mr. Lu brought out a box of the four precious treasures of the study.

Lin Xuezhu thinks that these two makeup additions are very good.

After all, when rich people have enough money, money is just a number.

What really matters is the mind.

It's about making things you use every day more sophisticated.

After looking at the dowry, Lin Xuezhu pulled Lin Jiayuan into the inner room.

In the past few days, Lin Jiayuan's face has been beaming with joy.

She already had some admiration for Wen Dafanzi, and with the close relationship between Wen Dafanzi and her niece, nephew, and son-in-law, she was even more satisfied.

Thinking that she was approaching forty and about to start a new chapter in her life, she couldn't help but look forward to it and be excited.

Since her exile, she has been influenced by her eldest niece's perspective on life.

In the past, she was a person who was afraid of change and the unknown. She always felt confused about her future and didn't know where to go.

Now, she is very confident and certain about the future. Even if she is unfortunately let down, she has the confidence to stand up again on her own.

Lin Jiayuan said to Lin Xuezhu: "Eldest niece, there is something I have always wanted to ask Mr. Wen, but I have not found a chance. I have been helping at the Northern Chamber of Commerce before, and after getting married, I also want to continue to work. I don't want to do it because of After getting married, I will become the woman who can only rely on my husband. I want to have my own livelihood."

Lin Xuezhu was a little surprised by Lin Jiayuan's words.

She had always felt that Lin Jiayuan was a very traditional woman. Even in these years, she had been arranging things to do just to adapt to the overall environment of the Lin family.

Lin Jiayuan is a person who doesn't express herself easily, so as long as she doesn't show that she's in a bad mood, others won't bother her.

Therefore, Lin Xuezhu never knew that in these years of life and work, Lin Jiayuan's inner concepts had quietly changed.

"This is a good thing. Is Auntie afraid that Master will disapprove of your going out to do things?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

Lin Jiayuan nodded, "Although this is my own business, since I want to get married to Mr. Wen, it is better to explain some things clearly before the marriage. It is good if both parties have the same views, but if we really don't want to go together on some things , this marriage should be reconsidered."

Phew!

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help laughing, "Auntie, I heard that all the betrothal gifts have been given out. If you want to reconsider, aren't you a little hasty?"

Lin Jiayuan lowered her head in embarrassment, "I also know that you are a little hasty. But I have been thinking about this issue these days, whether to stay in the Wen Mansion to take care of the internal affairs, or to continue working in the Northern Chamber of Commerce. I think I still have to go out. After all, you and your niece-in-law have been encouraging women to be independent. Get the same rights as men. I am your aunt, how can I do the opposite to you? In this case, no woman in the world will believe you. "

Hey, her aunt has considered such far-reaching things. !

Lin Xuezhu was extremely pleased.

What she and Yuan Xiu have done over the years can be said to subvert the traditions of this era.

Are these things difficult to do? Of course it's difficult to do.

But the people at home have always supported them.

This made her feel very relieved.

Lin Xuezhu said with a smile: "Don't worry, aunt, Mr. Wen will definitely not object to you going out to do things."

"You know that without asking?" Lin Jiayuan was a little worried.

Lin Xuezhu said firmly: "That's natural. Mr. Wen has always been consistent with my husband and me in terms of political views. Although many things were proposed by us, he passively accepted them. But it is precisely because he is a sensible person that he is not as good as others. The courtiers are so obedient, but they sincerely believe that our views are correct. How can such a person hinder your growth?"

Lin Jiayuan laughed sincerely after hearing this.

She knew that her vision of people was right this time.

Lin Xuezhu patted Lin Jiayuan's hand and said, "Auntie, I have something to tell you this time."
