My country, you can pinch it

Duke Dingguo's mansion planted a few early plum trees, and the branches that had not melted the snow were faintly dotted with small pink and white flower buds. Fang Jinling followed them around a few old plum trees, and stayed away from the hustle and bustle of those honorable dandies. , and finally stopped in an empty kiosk ahead.

"There is no wind here, and the scenery is beautiful. Please wait here, Young Master Fang. My young master will be here in a while."

The stone bench in the small pavilion has already been covered with cushions, and a charcoal basin has been placed to keep warm. There is even a plate of steaming snacks and two cups of fresh tea on the table.

It seemed that Zhong Qi had something to say to him, so Fang Jinling didn't ask any more questions, and sat down on the cushion, leaning on the fence of the pavilion, resting his head on his arm and staring at the early plum buds in a trance.

In less than a cup of tea, there were footsteps behind him, the boy glanced at Chang Kong, and after Fang Jinling nodded, Chang Kong followed him and left.

"Let me just say that your concubine brother is not a law-abiding person. Jumping up and down is such a joy. Others think he is the heir of the Yunyang Houfu."

As the host, Zhong Qi was busy greeting guests of the same age. When the young masters settled down, he saw that he was going to make fun of the Fang brothers, so he quickly took Fang Jinling away. As for Fang Jinyu, he was too lazy to show his face be bad.

He picked up a piece of snack and handed it over, "I specially ordered the chef to make it. It's sweet but not greasy. You should like it."

Fang Jinling stretched out his hand from the cloak, pinched a small piece and put it in his mouth, then bent his eyes and smiled: "What did he say?"

"Since I've complained all my grievances, people say that I want to get close to you, but you, an elder brother, treat him indifferently, and even accuse Aunt Shang of being aggressive and bullying his mother, mother and son are pitiful."

Fang Jinling was not surprised that Fang Jinyu would say that. Looking at Yang Yingxue's behavior, his son probably couldn't escape the petty tricks.

Seeing Fang Jinling calm and calm, Zhong Qi looked surprised, and looked him up and down carefully with wide eyes, which made the latter bewildered: "Brother Zhong Qi, why do you look at me like that?"

"Aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry?" The young masters here don't look at the dudes, but they are all clear in their hearts. Fang Jinyu will only lose face by saying this.

Zhong Qi said comfortingly: "I thought you were going to sulk again, cry, and go back to be sick for a few days."

"I saw it." Fang Jinling replied, then he glanced at the arrangement in the small pavilion, and pointed out, "Brother Zhong Qi seems to have something to say to me?"

Zhong Qi lifted the tea on the table and took a sip, then his smiling face gradually became serious, and he called out, "Jin Ling."

Fang Jinling raised his eyes and looked over, pursing his lips slightly.

"I heard the conversation between my grandfather and my father that day, mentioning Grand Master Yang."

Hearing this name, Fang Jinling clenched the teacup in his hand, seeming a little nervous.

"Grandfather said it probably wouldn't stop him from joining the cabinet."

This was what Fang Jinling expected a long time ago. The imperial court was helpless against the cold disaster, and would only implement the New Deal more urgently, but his eyes dimmed, as if extremely disappointed.

Zhong Qi couldn't help sighing: "Today, that concubine looked at you provocatively several times, and even said that your monk aunt is so domineering. I was angry when I heard it, and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

Fang Jinling lowered his head aggrievedly, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, brother Zhong Qi, but what can we do, who will let him be the grandson of Mr. Ge from now on, even Prince Duan's son will value him a bit, let alone talk about his father..." Having said this, Fang Jinling bit her lip, unable to continue.

Seeing this, Zhong Qi's eyes darkened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Jin Ling, if there is a way to pull Yang Shenxing down, would you like to give it a try?"

Hearing this, Fang Jinling raised his eyes suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Me?"

Zhong Qi nodded firmly.

"What way?" Fang Jinling was extremely surprised. He was expecting and at a loss, "I don't know anything, and I don't know any big or insignificant people. What can I do? Did Brother Zhong Qi play tricks on me?"

"You can't do anything, but Aunt Shang can."

Fang Jinling's eyes widened instantly.

……

In the Nuan Pavilion of Duke Dingguo's mansion, the eldest lady who had no time in her busy schedule finally found a chance to talk to Shang Qingrong alone.

"Although it's a game between King Jing and King Duan, this matter has a lot to do with you. When Yang Shenxing takes power, the first unlucky one must be you, and then Jin Ling. Qing Rong, would you like to help them?"

Fang Caishang listened lightly to the eldest lady scolding Fang Wencheng with his enemies, and analyzed her current situation sincerely. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was very bad, but in the end he pointed to the culprit, which was the rise of Yang Shenxing.

At this point, Shang Qingrong heard the implication that the Da Furen came here to be a lobbyist, her heart sank slightly, and she asked: "What does His Royal Highness King Jing want me to do?"

The eldest lady seemed to be a bit embarrassed to speak, but in the end she said word by word: "Sue Yang Shenxing for forcing the students to dote on their concubines and destroy their wives, dote on their concubines and destroy their sons, disobey the etiquette and laws, and use power to oppress them."

Hearing this, Shang Qingrong showed astonishment, then his eyes sharpened, and he looked straight at the eldest lady: "Sister Zhou, you..."

Under the eyes of the latter who seemed to see everything, the eldest lady sighed heavily, and said in shame: "Qingrong, sister for many years, I don't want you to do such an embarrassing thing, but think about it, isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime thing for you?" Is it a great opportunity? Once Yang Shenxing takes power, he will never be able to use him for his personal moral disadvantage!"

Shang Qingrong's curled fingers were clenched immediately.

The eldest lady held her hand and continued: "Back then, Marquis Yunyang was able to welcome people in regardless of your objection, regardless of Jinling's coma, and he made it clear that he wanted to abandon the Marquis of Xiling's mansion and curry favor with the Yang family. Without any scruples, can you still expect this wolf-hearted man to be merciful?"

Shang Qingrong is very clear about the consequences of Yunyanghou's fickleness and ignorance.

"But if Yang Shenxing falls, then the Yang family and the concubine can only rely on you, life and death are all in your mind, it's so good, no one can threaten Jin Ling."

If Shang Qingrong never thought about reconciling and leaving, and continued to stay in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, fighting with concubines, fighting with her husband, and suppressing concubines for her son, she would indeed be moved, but... Hearing Fang Jinling's comments on the court's movements Analyzing, she couldn't help asking: "Is it so easy for Yang Shenxing to be overthrown?"

The eldest lady shook her head: "I don't know, but the Duke said that he is very sure. The heavy snow and cold, starvation for thousands of miles, the court has no ability to relieve the disaster, and now hope can only be pinned on the New Deal in the coming year, so Yang Shenxing's reputation will be lost. He raised it to an unprecedented height, once his personal morality is compromised, and people know that he is a crony and selfish person, the consequences are unbearable for him."

How could the scholar scholars who waved the flag for him and regarded him as the savior of the imperial court easily let him go?

"Think about it carefully, in fact, it's okay if you don't want to, after all, if this happens, the relationship between you and Marquis Yunyang will come to an end."

No matter who it is, as a wife, it is always difficult to make a decision. The eldest lady knows Shang Qingrong's feelings for Yunyanghou, so she is also very embarrassed when persuading her.

Shang Qingrong lowered his eyes: "This matter is too sudden, sister Zhou asked me to think about it."

"That's fine, but lightly, you'd better answer me today. Princess Jing originally came to persuade you. After thinking about it, it might make you feel uneasy. I should say it myself."

so eager...

Shang lightly nodded, followed the eldest lady out of the Nuan Pavilion, and then said to Qing Ye at the door: "I don't know how Ling'er is, you go and have a look."

Qing Ye was startled, and immediately turned and left.

……

In the small pavilion under the early plum tree, Fang Jinling's nose was red with cold, and his eyes were wide open, looking helpless and pitiful.

Zhong Qi said sincerely: "Jin Ling, for your own sake and for the sake of Aunt Shang, please persuade her, this is a good opportunity."

"I..." Fang Jinling looked puzzled.

But before he could answer, the servant next to Zhong Qi hurried over and said, "Eldest Young Master, it's not good, there's a commotion over there."

Zhong Qi was stunned: "What's the trouble?"

The little servant said anxiously: "I don't know too much. I heard that the Seventh Prince saw that there was no one to arrange for him to meet Miss Wang, so he sent someone to invite him. Miss Wang's face turned pale with fright, she was heartbroken, and almost died. Throwing into the lake. When the news came, the two princes were very angry, saying that if the toad wanted to eat swan meat, he had to ask them if they would agree, so they directly led the people to settle accounts with the seventh prince, and they couldn't stop them!"

When Zhong Qi heard that his eyebrows could kill flies, he blurted out and cursed: "I knew Liu Ke would be up to no good here, this bastard will definitely cause trouble!" He grabbed the boy and asked, "They go Where can I find the Seventh Prince?"

"Under the rockery by Songshi Lake, I heard that the Seventh Prince is waiting for Miss Wang there!"

Zhong Qi raised his head and looked directly at the lake, and rushed over, but he didn't take a few steps, then looked back at Fang Jinling and said, "Jinling, the banquet is about to start, you should find a warm place to sit first Sit down, I will come to you later, if you think about it carefully, brother will not harm you."

Fang Jinling didn't speak, but nodded obediently and hesitantly.

Zhong Qi walked around the plum tree in a blink of an eye and disappeared, which shows how much he casts a shadow over the Seventh Prince.

The surroundings became quiet in an instant. Fang Jinling sat back in the small pavilion, leaning against the fence, thinking about Zhong Qi's words, and couldn't help but sneered.

Advise a big head ghost!

It can't stop Yang Shenxing from entering the cabinet, but he actually sent his attention to other people's back houses, and let a woman and child be a knife, who thought of this?What a talent!

This pattern, this method... Fang Jinling felt that if he was King Jing, he would be sorry for the honorable family behind him if he didn't blow his head off for such an idea.

It's a pity that people not only didn't object, but adopted and put it into action, even Zhong Qi came to persuade him, a young master who didn't know much about the world, and there must be Da Furen as a lobbyist in Shang Qingrong's place.

Although my mother is not a woman who is obsessed with hatred and thinks about fighting concubines and bullying sons all day long, she can't just refuse under the pressure of Mrs. Dingguo and Princess Jing. .

Thinking about it this way, it would be better not to eat for the next meal, maybe he should really be sick for a while, pretending to be in a coma or something...

A branch of a plum blossom tree stretched into the pavilion and came to Fang Jinling, bringing him a little pink.Fang Jinling sighed lightly, and wanted to reach out to scratch that stubborn little flower bud.

"I'm talking about the Fang family's little rabbit, don't listen to the Zhong family's brat talking about it." Suddenly, a joking voice came from behind the pavilion.

In an instant, Fang Jinling withdrew his hand, and all his thoughts were startled by the sudden voice.

After a while, he leaned on the railing, looked down for the sound, and was surprised to see the familiar face under the pavilion, which was obviously very handsome, but because of his playful smile, he had no shape but became extremely awkward. Prince!

"I already told you, go home in peace, don't get involved in this kind of crap, otherwise you and your mother won't know why you are crying." Liu Ke smiled viciously, as if he had seen Fang Jinling crying .
