5.24 Li Wan: Uncle Wang was promoted to inspection in nine provinces
I'm really sorry. The author of the last chapter changed the title. As a result, I got dizzy and became seriously ill. I'm contacting you to delete it~~

………………

In the afternoon of that day, Rongguo Mansion, Li Wanyuan.

"Feng girl, what's wrong with you? I remember a few days ago, didn't you say that being promoted was a good thing? Uncle Wang was promoted to the governor of nine provinces, and there is even the possibility of being further promoted to the governor of nine provinces. Isn't that right? A big step forward?" Li Wan looked at Wang Xifeng with a "curious" face and said, "Are you unhappy?"

"President Li, you really don't know, what does this mean?" Wang Xifeng almost gritted his teeth and glared at the beautiful young woman in front of him, and said in a hateful tone, "Although the nine provincial inspections are said to be of the third grade, the title is just Being sent does not mean that there is a real lack of official positions. You can only get them when you go out, and you have to pay the order when you come back. It is not true unless you are asked to control the nine provinces!

This errand of patrolling the nine sides means that you will not be able to come back for at least a year or two. After being away from the capital for such a long time, who will remember it when you come back?What's more, the so-called "inspection" means that it only has the power of supervision and no jurisdiction. It's hard to say whether those arrogant and powerful generals on the nine sides are willing to give face. You are still here to gloat! "

"Hey, have you learned a lot?" Li Wan didn't feel guilty at all, and even couldn't help but laugh, "What do you mean, someone helped tell you? But I don't know whether it is a rumor or a definite belief. Son?"

"The Ministry of War has drafted a document. A few days ago, my second uncle also came to the palace under the imperial edict. I heard that he left food at noon. I don't want him to be very unhappy when he comes back. I think your majesty came to talk to him." Wang Xifeng said leisurely, "Have you passed it yet? In the next two days, my wife and I answered the post there, and my second uncle told me this in person after we got back."

"I hope you can persuade the government to help and say a few words?" Li Wan interrupted her lightly, "This article has been written, and your majesty has approved it. No matter how generous the government is, there is nothing that can be done. What has changed? If my guess is correct, he hopes that he can help tell the story to all the families on the nine sides and give him some face? Why did he ask you to speak instead of letting the wife speak? "

"Huh, as soon as my wife arrived at the house over there, she was called to the inner courtyard by the second aunt. She didn't come out for a whole day and didn't know what to say." Wang Xifeng said bitterly, "It's easy for the second uncle to say a few words, but I don’t know if this mansion really wants to speak to those families on Nine Sides, which one can skip the old man? No matter how good the ancestors are, they can’t talk to Nine Sides!”

"So, you found me here?" Li Wan grasped the key point immediately.

"Sister-in-law——" The sweetness of Wang Xifeng's voice instantly increased, and the dozen plus numbers gave Li Wan a chilling feeling, "When the inspector is out on the road, he always needs money with him, whether it's his second uncle or the house there. No matter where you are, how much can you prepare? Considering the friendship between the four Jinling families that have been connected for generations, you can’t."

"No!" Li Wan categorically refused, pushing away a certain hottie who was hugging his arm, and took a few steps back before saying, "Not to mention that none of the money in my hand belongs to me, even if I want to move it, Where can I move? I am a woman, and I am responsible for checking and supervising accounts. Is it possible that I really go outside and negotiate business with others?
Besides, Uncle Wang is on a tour in all directions, but if he gives it a little free rein, will those people still dare not give him face?When this money comes into your home, isn’t it just like running water?Why bother trying to trick me, a widow?Are you really afraid that if the matter spreads out, the house over there will become the laughing stock of these four-nine cities? "

In fact, this means that Li Wan has already seen the world. Even if he is not familiar with government affairs and military affairs, he still knows a lot about them. No matter where the inspection work is targeted, he will always offend. Among people's affairs, the most extreme one is the salt patrol, which has rarely been achieved smoothly.

Because during inspections, problems and even accidents will inevitably be found, but the work is carried out on other people's territory. The time, place and people are not occupied. It is good to meet those who are honest and obedient, but if the other party is a little bolder, Son, no one dares to say what the outcome will be. Lin Ruhai has only been in office for one year, but his wife and son are all gone?
So if we change our thinking, how about hello, me, and everyone?Wouldn't there be no problems in this case? Those patrol targets would still have to pay tribute, keep the benefits in their pockets, and have all the respect in their pockets?Have you never thought about the purpose of sending people over to inspect the capital?If nothing substantial can be found, what use does the court want from you?The ex who has never met Lin Ruhai is now reunited with his family?
"Huh, you feel comfortable!" Wang Xifeng actually just said it. It's not like she didn't know that the little widow in front of her had never been able to get in or out. "With the grace of His Highness Yongchang, he holds millions in his hands." The property, just a little bit leaked between the fingers, is enough for the house to chew fruit for ten and a half days, and there are no relatives to worry about.

Forget it, I just said a few words in vain. When the ancestors serve the food, I will beg her while she is in a good mood. I just hope that she will not be like a prude who only cares about money in her eyes. We don't even talk about our friendship; also, my cousin is gone, and there are two more in this house. Don't forget to guard the door when you talk, so as not to make the ancestors unhappy. "

"It's up to you!" Li Wan stood up nonchalantly and asked Su Yun to help change clothes, "It's just that looking at the current appearance, Sister Yun seems to have lost her temper. She has only been playing with her third and fourth sisters these days; on the other hand, your cousin , I don’t see her very often on weekdays, so I really looked down upon her. My wife must have told her about it a long time ago, but I didn’t expect that she didn’t respond at all, so she took the initiative to go back that day.”

"Oh?" Wang Xifeng's heart moved, but she remained calm on the surface, "Maybe there is something going on in the house over there - there isn't much time until dinner, so let's go!"

The two of them each took their personal maids and went straight to Jia Mu's courtyard, chatting and laughing. However, until they entered the courtyard, they still only heard Shi Xiangyun's laughter. The two looked at each other and obviously felt that something was wrong, because according to usual practice, the person at this time was The phoenix egg was long overdue. "Hey, ancestors, how can you take back the cards after you have played them?" When the two entered the door, they saw Jia Mu leading someone to wipe the dominoes. The dealer was naturally the old lady, and the other three were Mrs. Wang, Shi Xiangyun and Tan Chun, it was Shi Xiangyun who spoke, because the card played by Jia Mu was just right for her, and they did not notice the mandarin ducks behind Jia Mu winking.

"Sister Yun, my ancestor didn't bring any spectacles today, maybe he didn't see clearly just now." Li Wan couldn't bear to lose this honest girl's points any more, so he smiled and stepped forward to grab her hand, and at the same time, he took the dominoes that she had taken away. Throwing it back in front of Jia Mu again, "Yuanyang is real. Why don't you remind me that our ancestors can't see clearly? Can't you still see clearly?"

"Oh, it's all my fault for taking the time to talk to Miss Yun." Yuanyang quickly took the "blame" and also attracted Shi Xiangyun's attention, successfully sending a wink to her, "It's just time to set the meal, old man Our ancestors have been busy all afternoon, why don’t we rest now?”

"Huh? It's time to eat again?" Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, looked at the sun that had set outside the door, then reluctantly put down the dominoes in her hand and said, "I'm old, when I play, I either forget this or lose that - then Just set the food, why don't you see Baoyu? Also, Qiu Fang is here, right? Why haven't you seen her here all afternoon?"

"It's not like the master took the exam yesterday. It's obvious that Baoyu has been studying hard these days, but he is just not satisfied. In the morning, he was punished with ten big characters and asked him to recite some poems. How can such a young child do this? Are you so tired?" Mrs. Wang complained distressedly, which made Mother Jia look dissatisfied.

"He, as an old man, has been chasing my precious jade all day long, but he doesn't want to think about what he learned when he was studying?" Mother Jia said a few words with a straight face, then turned to Yuanyang and said, "Send someone Go over and ask Baoyu to come over. No matter how hard you work, don't forget to eat. What if you get hungry?"

"Old Ancestor, there is no need for a mandarin duck to do this. If you leave her here, how will you arrange it." Wang Xifeng took over the "errand" with a smile, "It happens that there are not many literate people here, so you might as well let her Sister Yun went over to take a look and come back to tell us what Brother Bao has learned."

"That's fine!" Mother Jia nodded with satisfaction, ignoring the gloomy look on Mrs. Wang's face next to her. "Girl Yun, go and ask him to come over. Just say it's me who said it, and let him come over for dinner. If he If I’m not satisfied, just come to me!”

"Yes, ancestor, I'll go right away." Shi Xiangyun stood up with a smile and called Cuixi to go out.

Not mentioning what happened in Jia Mu's courtyard, neither the master nor the servant had a gentle temper. They laughed and made trouble all the way, and went straight to Qishaizhai along the Kaoxi Wall Lane. It wasn't that far in the first place, but they still didn't forget it. say.

"Girl, Second Master Bao is so young, isn't it time for him to study?" Cui Lu said in confusion, "Why do you think this slave thinks that my ancestor means that he doesn't like it at all?"

"Okay, let's not ask about the affairs in this house and just play around with the sisters." Shi Xiangyun had no intention of continuing, and his expression was a little empty, as if his attention was not here.

At the same time, Qishaizhai.

"My dear second master, this book was made by this slave who worked so hard. Look at the color lines, how can they be compared to the inferior goods before?" Mingyan flipped through the painting book on the table flatteringly, but Seeing that every page was colorful, the master and servant blushed, "This book costs 50 taels of silver, so I have to grab it!"

"Don't worry, I'll tell Xiren tomorrow and ask him to give you the money." Jia Baoyu didn't pay attention to what Mingyan said at all. His eyes seemed to be welded to the drawing book, "It's not the first time that I have asked him to give you the money." When you buy books, is it possible that the money is less than yours?"

"Sister Xiren, what else are you worried about?" Mingyan rolled her eyes, "Slave, please leave now and come back tomorrow?"

"When you go out, just let Sister Xiren get along!" Jia Baoyu greeted quickly. Mingyan smiled proudly, bowed and left the courtyard. Soon Xiren entered the bedroom, and after a long time he looked hesitant. Kneeling beside the Phoenix Egg.

However, none of the three of them noticed that right outside the study window, among the bamboo bushes, a pair of master and servant covered their mouths in disbelief, not daring to say a word!
