Su Qingyu subconsciously asked, "Third uncle has been transferred back to Beijing? Is the news accurate?"
Zhenzhu had already stood up and said with a smile, "Why not? It was a letter from the steward of the Third Master. He said that Qingyin Courtyard should be cleaned up before the Third Master comes back."
Su Qingyu sat in front of the bronze mirror, using Pearl to dress her up, thinking about her past life.
In her previous life, her third uncle was not transferred back to Beijing. Until her death, he had been the prefect of Suzhou, a fourth-rank official.
Then I thought about it, Shen Zhixiu died in his previous life, and the power of the official department was in the hands of Mr. Xu Ge. In this life when Mr. Chen Ge came to power, most of the appointments and removals of officials are probably different from those in the previous life.
Grandma was angry because she was afraid that her second uncle was being transferred back to Beijing. After all, the third uncle was a concubine, but the third uncle was transferred back to Beijing, but the second uncle was still living in Qianzhou.
"Let's go and persuade grandma." Su Qingyu stood up and said.
If she didn't go to Songhe Hall, her grandmother would definitely send someone to find her. After all, Shen Zhixiu had to help him transfer his second uncle back to Beijing.
Sure enough, before Su Qingyu reached Songhe Hall, she met Zhichun who came to greet her.
As usual, it was a generous reward. Zhichun whispered: "The old lady is anxious to invite the eldest lady over. Firstly, it is for the second master's affairs, and secondly, it is for the eldest young master's affairs. The Marquis and his wife are also there, and the old lady is anxious. , I will send my servants to welcome you."
Zhichun seemed to have told Su Qingyu everything, but in fact he was talking about unimportant things. Just like what I just said, Su Qingyu would know it immediately after entering Songhe Hall.
But Su Qingyu was happy to spend the money just to know in advance what she had planned.
Entering the side hall of Songhe Hall, he saw the old lady wiping the corners of her eyes with a cotton handkerchief.
He also said: "You are just a biological brother, and you are still suffering in a place like Qianzhou. I can't bear it. When I think of Chengyan, I can't sleep all night long."
Su Chengye said nothing, but Mrs. Lin spoke.
"Mother, she misses her son so much, or her body is more important. We have no say in the appointment or dismissal of court officials."
"If mother really misses her second uncle, why don't I send someone to send her to Qianzhou to stay for a while?"
Su Qingyu almost laughed out loud after hearing what Lin said. The last time my grandmother went to Qianzhou, she stayed there for a month and was sick for more than half a month. If my mother really sent her there, I'm afraid my grandmother would be buried directly in Qianzhou.
Since the miscarriage, Mrs. Lin has not been as indulgent towards the Su family as before. During this period, she took over the family's accounts and business again. Just like when Su Qingyu was the housekeeper, she didn't spend a penny from the dowry income to the Hou Mansion.
Not only that, she also arranged for several accountants to come into the house to check the accounts. They checked the accounts of the past twenty years since she got married.
Su Chengye didn't know what she was going to do, so he stopped asking after asking twice and seeing that Mrs. Lin didn't look good.
The old lady has been busy these days selecting concubines for Su Chengye. I heard that she has already chosen two daughters from small families and is waiting to let Su Chengye take a look at them.
When the old lady heard that Mrs. Lin wanted to send her to Qianzhou, she was so angry that she didn't say anything for a long time.
Su Qingyu walked in, saluted several elders, and sat down next to Lin. He didn't take the initiative to mention the return of the third master of the Su family to Beijing. He just lowered his head and drank tea quietly.
When the old lady saw Su Qingyu coming, her eyes lit up and she said, "Qingyu, your third uncle has been transferred back to Beijing. The matter of your second uncle..."
Su Qingyu didn't seem to understand what the old lady said, and asked in surprise: "Third uncle is going to be transferred back to Beijing? Where is he transferred to?"
Su Chengye said, "Go to the Censorate and be appointed as the fourth-rank assistant censor-in-chief."
Although it was the same as when he was in Suzhou, both were of the fourth rank, but the fourth rank of Beijing officials was different from that of local officials, so this was also equivalent to a promotion.
Su Qingyu beamed with joy, "It seems that the third uncle's political performance in Suzhou has been good in the past few years. Otherwise, Mr. Chen Ge would not have transferred the third uncle to the Metropolitan Procuratorate as soon as he came to power."
"I heard that when Mr. Xu Ge was here, he mostly used private parties. Now it's better. As long as you have the ability, you don't have to worry about not getting a chance to get promoted."
After Su Qingyu finished speaking, what the old lady wanted to say got stuck in her throat.
Can't swallow, can't speak.
According to what Su Qingyu said, the cabinet brought Su Chengxun back because of his outstanding political achievements. Then Su Chengyan was still in Qianzhou, but he was not taken seriously by the cabinet.
Lin saw that the old lady seemed to be about to say something again, so she rushed to say: "If mother's longing for her son has not eased, I will have someone pack her bags this afternoon."
"Second uncle will be happy if he knows that my mother went to Qianzhou to see him in person."
The old lady was scolded by Lin and Su Qingyu in turn, so she stopped talking. She was afraid that if she continued to talk, she would have to leave.
After putting aside the matter of Su Chengyan, the old lady brought up Su Yuankai again.
After all, he was the only male in the long house, so she was particularly worried about him.
"Chengye, have you gone to the Criminal Department to ask? How is Yuan Kai doing now?"
Su Chengye replied, "I just asked yesterday that the two Xu family members are dead. The remaining people said that they need to be interrogated one by one before they can go home."
"We arrested seven people at first, but now we have released six. Yuan Kai should be able to go home in just a few days."
Su Qingyu suppressed a smile. She caught seven and put six back. Didn't her father feel anything was wrong?
In fact, Su Yuankai was no longer in the Ministry of Justice. Two days ago, Lin Wuchen sent him to a farm outside the city and sent someone to keep him under strict supervision.
The old lady asked Su Qingyu again if she could find a way to tell the Ministry of Punishment to release the person first.
Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "Grandma thinks highly of me. What can I do that my father couldn't do even when he was an official in court?"
The old lady continued to speak, but Su Qingyu pushed back with soft nails.
When Su Qingyu left Songhetang, she sent Lin back home. When she returned to Bishui Pavilion, she realized that Su Chengye was waiting for her in Bishui Pavilion.
"What's wrong, father?" Su Qingyu sat down and asked.
Su Chengye held the celadon tea cup in his hand and pondered for a long time before putting it down.
"As a father, I just want to ask, where is Zhou Buren?"
Ever since Zhou Bu'ren disappeared that day, he has been looking for him in Beijing, but there is no trace at all.
Su Qingyu said before that Zhou Buren was in her hands, but he still didn't believe it. But these days, he even searched the suburbs of Beijing, but he couldn't find a ghost.
Zhou Buren couldn't be found, and he always felt like someone was pinching him.
Su Qingyu knew what Su Chengye was thinking. She just wanted to find Zhou Buren and completely cover up what happened back then.
"Father, don't waste your efforts. I said, you are in my hands."
"As long as father doesn't pass on the title of Marquis of Marquis to random people, I guarantee that you will be able to sit safely in the position of Marquis of Pingning."
Su Chengye glared at Su Qingyu, "If we don't allow him to be crown prince, do you still want to seize the title yourself?"
