Rebellious officials and thieves are cheating on their fathers

Back at Zhaoyang Palace, Qin Ailan originally wanted to go to Luohuang Pavilion for a sit down, but Kang Li said that Chu Yu had already fallen asleep, so he had no choice but to go back to his Shuyu Pavilion.

It is rare for Chu Yu to go to bed so early, she must be really tired.However, the last few days seem to be nothing serious.

It's rare for Qin Ailan to guess, but he is really tired.Yesterday he walked around the capital, and later went to Feng's mansion to deal with Feng's father and son. He went to court early this morning, and he didn't have time to calm down and enjoy life.

Qin Ailan went back to Shuyu Pavilion, and after washing, she lay down on the bed and thought about the way ahead.

Chu Yu was leaning on the couch, holding the book in her hands, but her ears sensitively sensed the familiar footsteps outside.

He knew that Qin Ailan would look for him when she came back from losing value, this has become Qin Ailan's habit, and it has also become his habit.

However, the other party is Qin Xisong's son after all, even if he has no intention of harming himself, they should not get too close!

This kind of closeness made Chu Yu feel uneasy and dangerous, because Qin Ailan could always easily affect his emotions, sometimes even he himself didn't know it.

For example, this morning when I heard Qin Ailan say that the dress and shoes were made by his wife, I felt an inexplicable anger in my heart.

This incident reminded him that Qin Ailan is a very cunning person, spends his days and nights, and has many wives and concubines... This kind of person is not suitable for close friendship.

Chu Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, and when the footsteps left, she picked up the book in her hand and read it carefully.

On the second day, Wen Ziren sent back the clothes and shoes, and happily said to Qin Ailan: "Mr. Qin, my wife said that the two of them are very good at embroidery, and she wants to ask you two ladies for advice." gone."

Hearing what he said, Qin Ailan felt relieved, at first he thought that Bi Luo was just speaking for those women.Looking at it now, maybe these women really have some skills.

Qin Ailan didn't have any modesty, and said straight: "It's very good, and then we only need a reasonable and legal identity. I don't know about the household registration, do you have an idea, brother Zi?"

"Young Master Qin may have to wait a few more days. I have asked people to inquire about this matter. However, those people under the household department rely on the power in their hands, and they are all scheming. Sometimes they know that you are in a hurry to use it. Make things difficult." Wen Ziren said bitterly.

The Wen family has been in business for generations, and the relationship with the Ministry of Household Affairs is also delicate.They have to pay a lot of business taxes to the Ministry of Households every year, but the Wen family can still survive in such a depressed environment. Apart from the fact that they are a century-old store, there is another shady reason - the Wen family There is also a lot of money secretly bribed the Ministry of Households every year.

They avoided some heavy taxes through this channel, and did not pay according to the amount, so they were able to continue.

Therefore, in fact, the Wen family is quite familiar with some officials at the bottom of the household department, but he still dare not tell Qin Ailan about these secrets.

After all, this is related to the fate of a family as big as the Wen family.

Qin Ailan didn't think too much about it, she just nodded and said: "It's okay, there is no rush, just let me know when you have news."

Wen Ziren hurriedly agreed, and then he said to Qin Ailan: "Master Qin, Mr. Wen has a scruple, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

Qin Ailan saw that he was a little twitchy, and said: "I am a brother, dear brother, so let me speak directly if you have something to say."

"My wife..." Wen Ziren paused for a moment, as if a little ashamed, but finally summoned up his courage and said, "My wife, Mr. Qin also met once. She is in charge of Wen's money. If she knows I don't do my job properly, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble..."

Originally, his family didn't control him so tightly, and he let him spend the money, but since the last time the woman knew that Wen Ziren had sent [-] silver to the prime minister's mansion for a banquet, she had a big fight with Wen Ziren .

Later, Wen Ziren's fortune was cut off...

When Qin Ailan heard him talk about his wife, she remembered the scene where he was left with the ear twisted by that beautiful woman.

This Wen Ziren seems to be a very strict wife.

Qin Ailan also understood, so she patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said with a bit of teasing: "Brother Zi is very lucky, to have such a domineering wife in charge of wealth, you don't have to be afraid of losing the family! You don't have to worry about this matter , I will pay the money, but you will take care of the business matters. We share the bill equally, and it happens that I have two hundred taels of silver bills with me. You can go to the bank to exchange them for management. If There are still shortages, and I will bring you some more in another day."

Wen Ziren didn't know what to say for a moment, he thought Qin Ailan would suspect him of ulterior motives.I didn't expect him to be so straightforward, not only did not become suspicious, but gave myself two bank notes.

200 taels of silver, in the eyes of ordinary people, is not much, and it is definitely not much.

Wen Ziren hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, the money should be enough just to buy an account post! Wen will make a note of what is used, and I will show it to you when the time comes."

Qin Ailan nodded slightly, although Wen Ziren seems to be credible at the moment, there is no harm in writing down the accounts, as he can also see where the money is mainly spent.

After more than ten days like this, Qin Ailan found that Chu Yu seemed to be avoiding her on purpose these days. Every time he went to Luohuang Pavilion to look for Chu Yu, it was either that Chu Yu was not there, or he had already fallen asleep.

Qin Ailan thought about it carefully, these days he did not offend this sensitive little emperor, the last time they got together alone was in the apse of Qianqiu Hall.

At that time, Chu Yu looked through his clothes and shoes, Qin Ailan casually teased him a few words, nothing special.Could it be that Chu Yu was angry because of this?

Qin Ailan thought about it, and felt that it was impossible, maybe the little emperor had misunderstood something recently, it seemed that it was time to find a time to ask him.

Qin Ailan was about to intercept Chu Yu after the court, but she didn't want to go halfway, but she heard someone behind her calling herself: "Master Qin, stay behind!"

Qin Ailan stopped and turned around, only to see Feng Jiangen trotting towards her with a breezy face.

Because Qin Ailan was in a hurry to chase Chu Yu, she walked faster, and Feng Jiangen was out of breath after chasing after her.

However, this did not affect Feng Jiangen's good mood at all: "Nephew, I really don't know how to thank you this time!"

Seeing him smiling, Qin Ailan thought Feng Anda's matter had been settled, so she said, "Congratulations Shi Bo! I wonder when the fourth brother will report to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Feng Jiangen said with a smile: "All this is due to you, my nephew! The documents from the Ministry of Officials arrived a few days ago, but the old man has never found a chance to announce the good news to you. Anda will go to the Ministry of Households next month. But if you are free, the old man has invited some relatives and friends to the house for a chat."

Qin Ailan pondered for a moment, Feng Jiangen had already given him [-] to [-] silver, presumably this time was purely a treat, and I don't know if the Yuchi family and the Yang family were among those invited.

So, Qin Ailan replied: "It's not a coincidence, the emperor happened to let me accompany him in the palace on this rest day. Although it is regrettable, but it's okay, we will have more days to meet in the future, and the uncle and all relatives and friends Have a good drink, we will definitely have a chance to meet again in the future.”

After hearing this, Feng Jiangen could only sigh regretfully: "That being said, without a good nephew, there are still many shortcomings in this banquet."

"If Shi Bo really wants to think so, then it won't be the same when we are free and drink together again?" Qin Ailan laughed.

Only then did Feng Jiangen say: "Okay, the uncle will have to wait until next time to entertain my nephew. I don't know where my nephew is going?"

Qin Ailan obviously didn't go to Yushitai this way, and he didn't want to chat with Feng Jiangen any more, so he said: "The emperor asked me to go to Linde Hall to meet him after I descended from court, Shi Bo has other things to do?"

Hearing what he said, Feng Jiangen thought that he was able to coax Chu Yu, who was soft and stubborn, and it was really extraordinary, so he laughed and said: "Shibo has nothing to do, since the emperor invited me, I will not delay my nephew." It's time. Please!"

Qin Ailan casually responded to the polite words and then walked towards Linde Hall.
