Chapter 181 Attacking the Jue (Part 2)
The old lady knew about Han Jingdong's resignation, she paused holding the hand of the Buddhist beads, and then said to Luo's mother, "Someone ask Jianming to come over."
Soon, Mother Luo came back again: "Old Madam, the Eldest Son is not in the mansion. But I have already left a message. If the Eldest Son comes back, he will definitely come to see the Old Madam."
The old lady hummed, then closed her eyes and began to chant sutras.
Mother Luo sighed slightly. If the eldest son takes over the title, I don't know if Mrs. Ye will have a big cleansing. Mrs. Ye is not the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is not a person who takes power, but Mrs. Ye is a person with artifice and ambition. Once Mrs. Ye becomes the hostess of the Duke's Mansion, she must insert her own power and take control of the Duke's Mansion. Of course, Mrs. Ye didn't dare to go too far when the old lady was around. Once the old lady is gone, these old people will definitely not be able to stay in the mansion anymore.
After Yuchen got the news, he pondered for a while, and asked, "Mother Gui, do you think this matter has anything to do with Yuxi?"
Nanny Gui asked strangely, "How do you say that?"
Yuchen can't say it, it's just a kind of intuition: "Mama, you should also know about Aunt Mei. With Yuxi's temperament, she will definitely not sit still. However, Yuxi has ignored her for so long. It doesn't match Yuxi's temperament." Yuchen suspects that Yuxi encouraged Han Jianming to seize the title. This suspicion is also based on her understanding of Yuxi.
Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "Girl, there is no proof, you can't just say this. Besides, it's the Duke himself who said that he wants to give up the title, not that the eldest son wants to seize the title." Duo, the difference of one word, the difference of heaven and earth.
Yuchen thought for a while, then stood up and said, "Go to Tao Ranju." Although she knew that she would not get an answer if she went to Tao Ranju, she still had to go this time.
When they arrived at Taoranju, Yuxi was embroidering hijab. The earth dragon was burned in the house, it was warm and the hands were flexible. Just when she had a feeling just now, Yuxi bowed her head to embroider the hijab.
Zisu said with some embarrassment: "Miss San, my girl is embroidering a hijab. This hijab has always been embroidered unsatisfactory, so it's not easy to go in and disturb." Yuxi has strict requirements on embroidery, and she can't satisfy herself, she would rather destroy it. No need.
Yuchen said: "I'll wait for her." Yuxixiu's dowry has never been shown to outsiders, except for Qiu Shi, no one else has seen it. Even so, people in the Duke's Mansion also said that the dowry embroidered by the fourth girl was incomparable. Where is Yuxi's background, and she embroidered it for herself, so it can't be good!
This wait is half an hour.
Yuxi's eyes were a little dry, so she put down her sewing. Hearing Yuchen coming, he complained, "Why didn't you call me earlier? It made Sanjie wait so long."
After hearing this, Yuchen smiled and said: "It's okay, it's not too short of time. Yuxi, how long will it take to finish embroidering your hijab? Show me when you're done. Speaking of which, I haven't seen your hijab yet." Where's the wedding dress!" Yuchen's wedding dress hasn't been delivered from the House of Internal Affairs yet, and it may take another two days. However, Yuchen didn't have too much expectation for her wedding dress, anyway, the styles are all there, so you don't need to look at it to know that it is roughly the same. It was Yuxi's wedding dress, Yuchen was very curious.
Yuxi smiled and said: "I'll show the third sister when I finish embroidering the hijab." Yuxi is still very confident about the wedding dress she embroidered with her own hands, and it is guaranteed to make people look amazing. It took her half a year It takes a lot of time to embroider the wedding dress, and I am sorry for the hard work if it is not amazing.
After talking about the wedding dress, Yuchen chatted about Han Jingdong's consignment: "Yuxi, what do you think about uncle's consignment?"
Yuxi knew that Yuchen would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and said with a smile: "For me, it doesn't make any difference whether my father is the Duke of the country or my elder brother is the Duke of the country." Juefan is more beneficial. Because everyone knows that Han Jianming loves her very much.
But to Yuchen, the meaning of the eldest uncle being the Duke of the country and the cousin being the Duke of the country are different.
Yuchen smiled and said: "That's true. But what's strange is that the uncle is still so young, why would he want to give up the title?"
Yuxi shook her head and said that she didn't know: "I don't know why Dad would let you be a nobleman. But anyway, Dad is away for a long time, and he doesn't care about things. It doesn't matter to him whether the title is here or not. It's the eldest brother who won the title. It may be more convenient to do things in the future Some." He paused and said with a smile: "But even if the court agrees to let the elder brother take over the title, it will take a while." Yuchen will get married in less than a month, and Han Jianming's taking the title will not affect her.
Yuchen knew from the beginning that it was impossible to get words from Yuxi, and he was not disappointed, so he changed the subject and talked about Chen Ran. In the spring of March, Chen Ran is ready to end: "Second Master Chen has always been very talented and learned, and he was Jie Yuan last time, so he must be on the list."
Yuxi naturally knew that there was no problem. Even if the Tanhualang in her previous life had changed in this life, her grades would not be much worse: "I also asked my eldest brother. My eldest brother said that with Chen Erye's skills, the second best is definitely not good. If there is a problem, I hope he will perform well in the exam, and maybe he can even get into the first class!" Scholars are rare, but the first class is even more rare.
After hearing this, Yuchen couldn't help laughing, and said, "If Second Master Chen can be admitted to Yijia, then you will have face when you marry." Very beautiful thing. Although the Marquis of Taining is very powerful, Chen Ran is the second son, not the eldest son, and cannot inherit the title. Then most of his future depends on himself.
The two whispered for a long time, and it was time for dinner. Yu Xi said with a smile: "Sister San, let's have lunch here!"
Yuchen declined with a smile: "Next time!" Recently, all the food and food were carefully prepared by Nanny Sha. It's not good to eat here at Yuxi's place, for fear of eating something hedging.
After Yuchen left, Yuxi suddenly remembered that she hadn't paid attention to the Jiang family's affairs for a long time, and she didn't know what was going on with the Jiang family now: "Zisu, is Jiang Qi from the Jiang family engaged?" It's like asking Jiang Hongjin directly.
Zi Su was a little strange: "Why do you think of her, Miss?" In fact, Yu Xi seldom interacted with Jiang Qi.
Yuxi smiled and said: "I just chatted with Third Sister and I don't know why I thought of her. I remember that she played chess with me back then!"
Zisu didn't think much about it, and said, "Miss Jiang is not engaged, and neither is his brother Jiang Hongjin, but I heard that the Jiang family is very lively."
Yu Xi was very interested in this topic, and asked, "How lively?"
Zisu said: "Mrs. Jiang always makes things difficult for the eldest daughter of Jiang's family, and she has to set rules for her when she is married. But she didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang's health is too weak to bear this hardship, and she fainted on the ground while serving Mrs. Jiang." gone."
Yuxi laughed: "When did it happen? Why didn't I know?" She really hadn't heard of it.
Zisu said: "At that time, the girl didn't ask about it, so I didn't say anything. In the middle of last year, Mrs. Jiang's niǎinǎi was pregnant, and Mrs. Jiang sent two maids to the Jiang family uncle. As a result, one of the maids became malicious, Jiang Da's mother almost lost her baby. Because of this, Jiang Da's mother and sister-in-law went to Jiang's house to have a big fight." This matter was publicized, and Madam Jiang's reputation swept the street in an instant.
Yu Xi smiled very comfortably: "This Jiang Da's mother is a good means." If there is not enough means, it is impossible for Yu Shi to be in such a mess.
Seeing Yuxi so happy, Zisu couldn't help thinking that Mrs. Jiang's family had offended her own girl. Regardless of what she thought, she couldn't think of it: "Mrs. Jiang's reputation has been ruined, which has directly affected the marriage between the second master of the Jiang family and Miss Jiang Qi." With such a mother, others will definitely doubt the upbringing of their children.
Yu Xi's smile became brighter and brighter: "Not necessarily. As long as Jiang Hong Jin Chun Wei's grades are good, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to marry a girl from a good family. However, Jiang Qi's marriage is definitely not easy." Jiang Qi is a proud person, In her previous life, Mrs. Yu picked out the eldest son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War for her, and she picked out all kinds of faults. In this life, Yu's reputation is bad, and it is impossible for Jiang Qi to marry high. But asking Jiang Qi to marry at a low price is tantamount to killing her. As for Jiang Hongjin, she was already engaged anyway, no matter how bad things happened, it would not be her head.
When Han Jianming came back from the outside, he went directly to the upper court to meet the old lady without being notified. Han Jianming knew very well that the old lady would not believe that his father would automatically give him the title.
Sure enough, as soon as the old lady saw Han Jianming, she asked, "What's the matter with giving up the title? Don't tell me, it was your father who figured it out before giving up the title to you?" Even Qiu Shi of Genxian would not believe it, let alone her.
Han Jianming had already thought up his rhetoric: "Grandmother, the right servant of the Ministry of War has reached his age, and he will come down in the middle of the year. I want to seek that position, but my current status is not enough." Han Jianming is an excuse. He wanted the position and it was already working. As for whether he can get this position, it has nothing to do with whether he wins the title or not. It's just that Han Jianming knows the old lady very well, and the most effective way is to involve interests.
After hearing this, the old lady asked in disbelief: "The right servant of the Ministry of War is an official position of the third rank? Is it true, you didn't lie to me?" Han Jianming has an official position, and he is still from the third rank, but this official position is vain. And no real power. It is not so difficult to go from a false position to a position of real power as a third-rank official.
Han Jianming nodded and said, "Grandmother, I'm following the path of the Yu family. If I can win the title, I will be more confident." Everyone has their own bottom line. He didn't bother to be with the traitorous villains of the Song family, so he took the path of the Yu family.
The old lady is not a three-year-old child, and she believed it after just a few words: "Who told you that after winning the title, you can have a better chance of getting that title?"
Han Jianming had been prepared for a long time, and said: "This is the conclusion I came up with after discussing with my staff. And if I get the title, I will have less criticism if I take this position in the future." No matter how capable Han Jianming is, he is only 23 years old this year . If he followed the normal route, with his qualifications and age, it would be absolutely impossible for him to get that position. But in this world, people who follow the normal path can only live in a ditch for the rest of their lives.
The old lady didn't speak, but the beads in her hand were spinning very quickly. (to be continued)
