Rebellious officials and thieves are cheating on their fathers

Wen Ziren hesitated for a moment, then Fang said: "As for the shop, there was one in our ancestors that was still vacant. It used to be the Wen family's grocery store selling cloth. In recent years, due to the recession in central Beijing, that shop has been closed. My father once wanted to sell the village, but now I can’t afford a good price; my mother said that our Wen family didn’t lack the money, so I kept it.”

It would be great if Wen Ziren could settle the matter of the shop.However, according to Wen Ziren's weak personality, he might not be able to make decisions in the Wen family.

Sure enough, Wen Ziren's face was a bit embarrassed: "But my mother has always managed that shop, and Wen doesn't know how to get it."

Qin Ailan thought for a while, and they might not have to rely on the Wen family's shop, so she said: "Since it is your Wen family's business, and you can't be the master, I think we should find another shop. The capital city is not too small, you know, dear brother." Where else is there a shop with a wide surface and a good location?"

"Yes, there is, but it will take a lot of time to find a shop and match up with the owner of the shop." Wen Ziren said, struggling for a while, and said to Qin Ailan as if he had made up his mind, " If not, let me go back this time to persuade my mother to see if he can sell this cloth village to us."

"Well, it's best like this. Can you estimate how much the Wen family's shop costs?" Qin Ailan said.

After Wen Ziren heard this, he smiled boldly and said, "Don't worry about this, Mr. Qin. You treat Wen with sincerity. How can Mr. Wen let Mr. Qin pay money everywhere? If it's another shop, it's a different story. Since the village belongs to the Wen family, let Wen find a solution for the silver issue."

Qin Ailan was very happy to see that he was willing to take on this matter, so he also saved a lot of expenses.

Now he and Chu Yu don't have much money, but there are many places to spend it; if they ask Qin Xisong for it, it will inevitably attract Qin Xisong's attention.

"Brother Zi is really generous, I have not misunderstood the person. For our common shop, I will replace wine with tea, toast my dear brother!" Qin Ailan picked up the teacup on the table and said to Wen Ziren.

Seeing that Qin Ailan trusted him so much, Wen Ziren was very pleased, so he also picked up his teacup and said, "It is a great blessing to have a confidant in life! I, Wen Ziren, have lived for thirty years, and I never thought that I would meet someone like Mr. Qin." Bosom friend, God treats me well."

The two flattered each other for half a day, and by the time the value was released, Wen Ziren already wished to have a heart-to-heart with Qin Ailan.

Inside the Ningshou Palace, cigarettes were lingering.Meditation and peace of mind were burning in the Meiziqing incense burner, but at this moment, Chu Yu's heart was full of turmoil, and it was difficult to be peaceful.

He was still holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake carefully prepared by the Empress Dowager Song, but at the moment he couldn't eat it.After a long silence, he put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake back on the plate.

"Why didn't Yu'er eat it? Is it because the sweet-scented osmanthus cake didn't suit my appetite?" Song Jiaoran looked concerned, completely showing the attitude of a loving mother.

Chu Yu replied: "How could the sweet-scented osmanthus cake specially prepared by the queen mother not suit my appetite? It's just that I ate too much for breakfast today, so I'm not hungry."

"If you're not hungry, then don't force it. If you eat it after a while, a lot of things will happen instead. You always like these pastries, and if you can't finish them, Aijia will send you to Zhaoyang Palace. "Song Jiaoran said caringly.

"Yu'er understands the empress' mother's heart, these trivial matters don't need to bother the empress so much." Chu Yu said.

"Although it is a trivial matter, but you are busy with political affairs all day long, you have no time to take care of others, and you don't have a caring person to take care of you. How can the empress mother not bother." The Queen Mother Song said movingly.

Chu Yu didn't push back any more, and said, "Then Yu'er will thank the queen mother first."

The Empress Dowager Song nodded slightly, and then asked: "How did Yu'er think about what the empress mother said just now?"

Chu Yu sighed lightly: "Yu'er knows all about her mother's desire to support me. It's just that she wants to put people in the six departments. I'm afraid it's hard to escape Qin Xisong's eyes. When the time comes, I won't say anything about harming innocent people. He exposed the thoughts of the queen mother and the son-in-law to Qin Xisong. The mother-in-law knew the methods of the Qin thief, but the son-in-law didn't care. But if he did something to the queen mother, how would the son-in-law explain to the world and the father who just left ?”

As she said that, Chu Yu couldn't help but turn red with sadness.

Chu Yu had always been gentle and obedient, and the Empress Dowager Song didn't know how sincere he was.However, as a adoptive mother, she still has to look like a loving mother.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Song hurriedly comforted him and said, "Yu'er has such filial piety, the empress mother is very pleased, and it is not in vain that the Ai family has devoted themselves to cultivating you over the years. If it was in the past, the Ai family would definitely not let the emperor go. Doing such a dangerous thing. But now that the emperor has a right-hand man by his side, the Ai family will have this idea."

"Right-hand assistant?" Chu Yu immediately understood, "The queen mother refers to Qin Ailan?"

Empress Dowager Song nodded frequently and said: "The Ai family has heard some rumors recently that the little thief of the Qin family is obedient to you. That being the case, why don't you use his hand to take the opportunity to install your cronies? There won't be any more."

Chu Yu hung his head and remained silent. He did use Qin Ailan openly and secretly, but he never thought of using Qin Ailan together with others.

Although this "other" is the Queen Mother Song who raised him.

Empress Dowager Song's move was not only to build up power for herself, but also for herself.Chu Yu knew it all.

Now that Qin Xisong is dominant, if he can have the power to contend with him, it would be a good choice.

Chu Yu thought for a moment, then said to the Empress Dowager Song: "What my mother said is very true. It was because I didn't think carefully that I almost missed the opportunity. Thank you, my mother, for reminding me. I will pay more attention to this matter!"

"Yu'er, it's good if you can understand the mother's painstaking efforts. Your biological mother, Concubine Ning, died shortly after giving birth to you. The former emperor entrusted Ai's family to raise you. Ai's family has treated you as their own son and doted on you all these years." You, I protect you, I can't bear you to see the dark side of this world. Now that I think about it, I don't know whether the Ai family did the right thing or the wrong thing this time." The Empress Dowager Song sighed, feeling very disappointed.

Chu Yu hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother Song: "My mother's kindness in nurturing, I will never forget it. If it weren't for the mother's painstaking education and protection, the son would have died at the hands of traitors, so I don't want to look at my mother too much." Think about it. Everything the queen mother does is for the sons and ministers, for the country and the country that I adore, how can it be wrong?"

The Empress Dowager Song also stood up from her seat, and stretched out her hand to help Chu Yu up: "Yu'er, you are good at everything, but you are too soft-hearted, just like your father. But a ruler can govern the country well without being soft-hearted. Intimidate the subjects. For people like Qin Xisong and Yang Kaide, you should use all means. Now that the little thief of the Qin family is willing to obey you, this is your advantage. If you let Qin Ailan come forward, Qin Xisong will not doubt his own son. What's more, Qin Ailan is the son of the Qin thief, you shouldn't be soft-hearted about this person."

Chu Yu was horrified, the Empress Dowager of Ningshou Palace knew everything about him in Zhaoyang Palace.Otherwise, how could she say these things to herself today?

Qin Xisong's party should indeed be eliminated, and he should seize this opportunity.However, is it right for the queen mother to place cronies?

The ancestors clearly stipulated that the harem should not interfere in politics. How much sincerity does the Queen Mother have in this move?

The kindness of nurturing cannot be forgotten, and Chu Yu doesn't want to be so suspicious of the woman who raised him in front of him, but if she didn't put eyeliner by her side, how could she know the relationship between herself and Qin Ailan so well?

Although Chu Yu respected Song Jiaoran, she had some concerns about her secretly spying on her.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Yufang respectfully said to the Empress Dowager Song: "My concubine's teaching today, I will remember it in my heart. I know what to do."

Although the Empress Dowager Song was respectful when she saw him, she no longer referred to herself as "Yu'er". It seemed that this Qin Ailan had a far greater influence on him than she expected.

However, it's still too late to mention something now.The Empress Dowager Song then sat back on the couch: "Yu'er is intelligent and kind, and she will be a wise king from now on. Now that you understand it, the Ai family doesn't need to say anything more, just step back and do your work."

Chu Yu bid farewell to Queen Mother Song and headed towards Linde Hall.

Qin Ailan came back to Zhaoyang Palace from time to time, and saw a person standing in the courtyard from a distance.Still under that tree, still that person.

The only difference is that the flowering period of the tree has passed, and the branches have grown new green leaves, which are as graceful as a cover.

The breeze after the rain blows the moon-white robes of the people under the tree, making them seem reclusive and independent.

Qin Ailan unexpectedly remembered the unpleasant meeting this morning, pondered for a moment, then walked over again, and asked the back with a somewhat lazy tone: "The emperor is here sighing to the tree alone, is it possible that he met again?" What's bothering you?"
