Chapter 217 Madam Diplomatic Skills

Nanny You walked into the main courtyard quickly, and saw Xueqi guarding the main entrance, with a little girl beside her talking with her.

Seeing Mammy You coming in, Xueqi greeted her with a smile, "What brought Mammy here, here's my greetings."

Nanny You helped Xueqi up, and asked in a low voice, "Is the princess free now?"

"The prince is here, do you think you are free?" Xue Qi said with a smile.

Nanny You nodded, looked at Xueqi, and said solemnly: "That's the case, this is a post sent by the concierge, saying it is from Dingguo's mansion. Miss Xueqi, let's see what to do with this matter." ?”

Xueqi watched as Aunt You took out a post from the armband and handed it to her, but she didn't pick it up, she just smiled and said: "I don't dare to make decisions about this matter, how about I do it for you?" A word?" As soon as Mother You heard that the prince was here, she didn't want to go in to attract people's suspicion, thinking that she could run errands for her because of the name of Dingguo Duke's Mansion?Hehe, if others don't know, doesn't it mean that she still doesn't know about the princess and Duke Ding's mansion?

Mother You didn't expect that Xueqi would not even glance at the post, let alone reach out to pick it up.The words were for her, but they didn't say something for her in front of the princess. The two big girls in front of the princess were about to become fine.The concubine didn't like to have eunuchs around to serve her, so Qiu Maoshi assumed the title of a manager for nothing, but he had no real power at all.It's been more than a year, I don't know how much work has been put in front of Xue Qi Xueying, but these two people didn't mention him in front of the princess.Qiu Maoshi can only be used occasionally for running errands outside, and for ordinary concubines, these two girls are so stubborn that no one else can get along with them.

Nanny You also tried, but the concubine had different feelings for them, and it was impossible to trample them down.After knowing the truth, Nanny You adopted a strategy of wooing them, but it's a pity that these two people don't like oil and salt, and don't eat soft and hard things. No wonder the princess can trust so much, and it's not unreasonable.

At this time, the two circled around, and Mother You knew that Xue Qi would not make things easier for her, so she smiled and said to Xue Qi: "Then I'm sorry, please give Tong Bing a call."

"Mother, wait a moment, I'll go right away." Xue Qi smiled sweetly, turned around and left.Nanny You holds the real power in the palace, and they don't want to offend them, but in their eyes, the princess is the master, so they also know about Nanny You's tricks, but they don't bother to pay attention to them.Anyway, the concubine trusted them, and that was it.

After Xueqi entered, Qiu Maoshi walked over with a smile, greeted Nanny You first, and Nanny You smiled and looked at him, "Why are you jumping out now, it's scary."

"Didn't I see your old man coming, so hurry up and say hello, don't forget me, I hope you will mention something if you have something to do." Qiu Maoshi smiled at Aunt You with a wrinkled face, feeling With a sigh, they are all eunuchs who have cut off the root of their children and grandchildren. Look at Miao Rongguang's prosperity, and then look at him... He couldn't help sighing.

Nanny You also felt sorry for him. After all, it was a mansion, and she used to see her without looking up, so she said in a low voice: "The princess doesn't like to use you. It's not because you are bad, but because your gender is wrong."

Qiu Maoshi was about to cry, "Sister, tell me, what is the difference between me and those girls?"

Mother You looked at him, and wanted to hold back her laughter, but if she laughed, she would look down upon others, coughed softly, "You, as long as you do your job well, the princess will use you sooner or later, don't worry .”

"Can I not be in a hurry? The group of grandchildren in the mansion have laughed at me a lot, mother, can you show me the way?" Qiu Maoshi was about to cry, what future is there for a person that the master doesn't like to use.

"I don't know the way here, but wait for the princess to grow up slowly, you will always be useful." Mother You watched Xueqi come out, said this quickly, left Qiu Maoshi and walked forward Two steps to meet Xueqi.

Qiu Maoshi watched Xueqi say something to You Nanny, and then You Nanny entered the main room, he couldn't help sighing, how can the princess use him?If you wait for the princess to grow up, how many years will you have to wait?Is he wasted like this?That's not okay.

In the room, Huiyu took the post and looked at it after listening to Mammy You's words, and it was indeed handed over by the eldest lady.She raised her head and glanced at Ji Qiyu, smiled and said to Nanny You: "Mama, please go for me personally, just say that I don't have much free time, and I will invite my aunt to talk when I am free."

"Yes." Nanny You bowed in response, and walked out backwards.

When Nanny You went out, Huiyu smiled and said, "Sure enough, you were sure, and you really handed over the post." As she said that, she casually threw the post on the kang table, with a few smiles between her eyebrows and eyes. Very sarcastically, "Auntie really thinks that I am so easy to fool, can I really devote myself to the signboard of Dingguo Mansion?"

Hearing that Huiyu even said that he had done his best, he knew that he was very angry.Ji Qiyu called the nanny in and reported Sister Zhao to the next room for breastfeeding. Then she walked across to Huiyu and said, "I can't blame anyone else for this matter. If you want me to say that you are also responsible. As I said before, the Ning Palace You don't want to get involved in that mess, if you don't listen, how can you blame others now?"

Huiyu glared at Ji Qiyu, and then said helplessly, "You think I'm willing to take care of it?"

"Okay, don't be angry, I know you don't like it." Ji Qiyu said, "Let's keep them cold for now, my concubine will come and go when they want it?"

"This time the lady wants to see me, what do you say you want to know from me? Could it be that you still want to talk about King Ning?" Huiyu sneered, that would be too shameless.

"That's not enough." Ji Qiyu said, "How could that old fox Dingguo do such an obvious thing? It's probably just for the sake of his former father-in-law."

"Just because of this?" Huiyu felt a little unlikely, "Isn't it?"

"Why not? The most promising person in your second room is you. Now that you are Princess Jing, they have to respect you. I think Duke Ding didn't see his father-in-law at the time, just because he didn't know how to tell him about your brother, but He didn't see him, so he didn't think about it. Speaking of it, Duke Ding was negligent and thought it was the past. Now you are Concubine Jing, and your brother is going south by order. Although the official position is not high now, it will be hard to say in the future. You One just ran into some difficulties, so he avoided suspicion for Prince Ning's mansion, which is unethical. Fortunately, there is Dong Yuncheng who knows how to make up, otherwise it would be a joke."

It was because of Mrs. Dong that she was sad. Huiyu was silent. In fact, this is still an era of power.

"How about my brother?" Huiyu didn't want to mention Dafang and his family, so she pushed the map on the desktop towards Ji Qiyu, "What you told me before, I put it on this map. I didn't see the reason why, if you tell me the truth, I can feel at ease."

"What can you see from it?" Ji Qiyu laughed.

"Why can't you see it?" Huiyu retorted, "Don't underestimate this picture, many times you can't figure out things, and you can be pleasantly surprised by looking at the picture." Although Huiyu was not shocked by this picture She wanted to figure out the truth of the matter, but she really saw something. She pointed to Suzhou, Yangzhou and Huzhou on the picture and said: "My brother was on business in Huzhou, but the boat capsized on the Yangzhou side. " Huiyu said, pointing to the map and said: "Passing through Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and Zhenjiang, Yangzhou is Huai'an, why did the accident happen in Yangzhou?"

"Why do you say?" Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu and asked, but he put away the joke just now in his eyes, and couldn't help showing a bit of seriousness.

"You told me before that King Anding has something to do with shipping. The son of Prince Anding, Ji Shu, has a mansion in Yangzhou, and he has suspected several feudal lords about the theft of the military amulet." Huiyu said here After a pause, in fact, the original text also vaguely mentioned that King Ning is related to the feudal lord, but Huiyu can no longer remember which feudal lord was mentioned in the article.Looking at the situation now, Huiyu felt that King Anding was very suspicious.

"You doubt King Anding?" Ji Qiyu raised his eyebrows.

"It's not that I doubt him, I just think it's a bit of a coincidence. Prince Anding settled down in Yangzhou, but my brother's ship capsized in Yangzhou, and Prince Anding's mansion has something to do with shipping, not to mention that Ji Shu is entrenched in Yangzhou." After so many years, how could it have nothing to do with water transportation." Hui Yu was just discussing the matter, and now it is only a preliminary suspicion, after all, there is no evidence, and it is impossible to conclude that Ji Shu is the murderer.

Moreover, people's subjective determination and speculation are always different from reality.

The vassal kings of the Jin Dynasty all had little real power, let alone the fiefdoms?It's just a name of a vassal king, but the most valuable thing is that surname.But even so, no one really dares to look down on them.There is no fiefdom, no real power, these are just superficial signs, these vassal kings have been handed down from generation to generation, and have been entrenched in the local area for hundreds of years, and they have already quarreled with local officials, it is difficult to tell whether they are innocent or not.

Listening to Huiyu's analysis, Ji Qiyu said with a smile, "There is some truth."

Just some truth?Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu and asked, "Then tell me."

"King Anding doesn't have the guts, but his son Ji Shu is quite talented." Ji Qiyu said, looking at Huiyu and smiling, "You guessed it, this matter really has something to do with him, but I haven't figured it out yet, so I can't tell you more."

"Then when can we find out?" Huiyu is most concerned about this, can her brother come back for the New Year?
"Years ago... not necessarily."

"It will take so long?" Huiyu expressed great doubts about the action of the Ministry of Punishment.

"It's already very fast, you have to know how difficult this matter is." Ji Qiyu said with a sarcastic expression, "That's fine, in this way, the officials in Beijing can also You can see which side you're standing on."

Huiyu suddenly realized that there was actually a reason why Ji Qiyu was not in a hurry to get the result.After thinking about it, he said, "I'm just worried about my brother, as long as my brother is fine."

"Don't worry, your brother will be bullied in front of you like a melon. If you put it outside, this is a master who has been on the battlefield, killed people with a knife, and seen blood. Others are afraid." His brother-in-law was lying sideways. Ji Qiyu thinks that the two children taught by his mother-in-law are really extraordinary, they are both like desperate Saburo. "What's more, the emperor didn't recall your brother back to Beijing for interrogation. Such an attitude comes first, and the person handling the case has to consider it carefully. Don't worry."

Huiyu: ...

Her brother is so majestic?
Knowing that her brother was fine, Huiyu was completely relieved, anyway, Ji Qiyu would not lie to her.Whether it is sea transportation, water transportation, or salt affairs, what can she do as a wife in the inner house?So her task is to take care of the child, try to lose weight to reach the standard before giving birth, and then try to prevent young people from hooking up with her man is the biggest goal.

Ji Qiyu was very busy, and Huiyu was busy taking care of the children at home. The eldest lady handed over the post twice, but Huiyu didn't see her. After that, the eldest lady didn't hand it over. I guess I understood.What surprised Huiyu was that the two aunts started to come to the door. Because the Marquis of Bei'an was at the border, the Xing family was basically in a state of hiding from the world. Anyone who had something to do was so polite that no one was there. Huiyu's side Basically, only sister Zhao's good life came here.But now seeing the two aunts coming out to socialize, Huiyu knew that it must be her grandfather who had something to do.However, if my aunt didn't take the initiative to mention it, she wouldn't ask, after all, it was also the Xing family's housework.Surprisingly, the first place the two aunts came out of the mountain was Prince Jing's Mansion, and then they successively responded to the posts submitted by several people in Beijing who had always been friends with each other. The land has become very present in Beijing.

When this sense of existence gradually strengthened, Huiyu received a post from Princess Su. When Mid-Autumn Festival was in the palace, she once said that she invited everyone to go to the Maple Garden to enjoy the scenery. The reason to go.

Concubine Su had a banquet in Fengyuan, and not only the concubines of various families were invited, but also many officials' wives in Beijing. Huiyu only found out about it after a day.Because the date was set for five days later, Huiyu was not in a hurry, but ordered down casually to find out who Princess Su had invited. Huiyu fell silent for a while looking at the two pages full of names.

Zhang Yuqiong has never been so high-profile when she married Su Wang. This time the emperor rewarded Su Wang with a garden. Unexpectedly, Su Wang took this opportunity to make great progress all the way.

When Prince Ning and Prince Jing were fighting, King Su was so high-profile that it was difficult for people to ignore him.

Huiyu's heart is also a bit complicated. In fact, Zhang Yuqiong is a typical case of ancient women marrying and obeying their husbands.From the beginning of the marriage and the gradual estrangement from the old friends, to the following series of actions, there must be King Su's intentions in it.During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Yuqiong invited everyone to Fengyuan to enjoy the scenery in a high-profile manner. At that time, her brother had just had an accident a few days ago, and the timing was too coincidental.If King Su hadn't known the news in advance, how could he have a high-profile banquet at this time?
If Huiyu didn't murmur at all, it would be impossible.

Now Huiyu couldn't help but wonder, did King Su contribute part of her brother's efforts?
Standing behind Su Wang is Concubine Liang, and behind Concubine Liang is Uncle Shunyi. Uncle Shunyi has a son and a daughter, son Liang Congwen, who is his daughter-in-law?Hehe, Song Yufu, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anping, is the eldest wife's niece.Daughter Liang Yi, her husband's family is Tong Wen, the eldest son of Uncle Jinrong's mansion, who is Tong Wen?The imperial concubine's direct nephew, Yi Wang's direct cousin.

Huiyu slowly wrote down the intricate in-law relationship on paper and compared them one by one. At the end, there was no way to determine whether it was the noble concubine or not, so she joined forces with Concubine Liang.

But this time Princess Su had a big banquet, Huiyu looked at the names on the paper of those old acquaintances whose names had not been seen for many years, and this time, she might be able to see them all.In fact, Huiyu seems to have more people who hate her than like her in the circle of the capital.When she was in her boudoir, firstly, the original owner's disposition was unpleasant, and secondly, the original owner's appearance was too good. The combination of these two things was really the main reason why she didn't have many friends.For example, Chu Jing, Song Yufu, and Xia Shuhui who hate her very much, Qin Roujia and Liang Yi who are not far or close to her, Tong Shu who has a good relationship with her, and the rest are like the concubine Huiyu of various families who know their names , but the identity restriction really has nothing to do with him, and he only knows his personal name.

At this moment, Huiyu looked at the list and suddenly realized that those women in her boudoir, who were friends, friends, or strangers, are now married and have children, becoming the ones who stand at the forefront of the younger generation.

As for her, she is only a little worried now, her wife's diplomacy skill is still gray, and it seems that she is about to start to light up.
