Daiyu frowned and thought deeply: "However, although the right servant of the Ministry of Officials is also loyal to the old sage, but the one who died is only an heir, what influence can Yu Chaotang have?"

"The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is just occupying a position now. The old man does not know whether he died in office or on the way back to his hometown. The right servant of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Canqingliu, has a family of books, and he has no heirs in his forties. But take a concubine, this Zhao Pingyan is the only son of three generations, Mr. Zhao's old mother is now 62 years old." Tom added the background of this matter clearly.

Daiyu understood: "Once Zhao Pingyan dies, the grandmother of the Zhao family will definitely not be able to survive. Mr. Zhao has kept his filial piety for three years, and the position of the right servant will be vacant. After three years, he may have to guard his wife for another year. In the past four years, the day lily has been cold, and with his family ruined and his family dead, Mr. Zhao can't stand up. The position of the right servant is vacant. The saint has made so many preparations before, maybe he can buy time to make this Position according to their own people, and then share the rights."

"And who do you think is the saint's choice?" Tom asked.

"Young Minister of Taichang Temple, Yang Yin." Daiyu said without thinking.Although Yang Yin hadn't entered the Six Divisions, he and Zhao Shen had a friendship in the same year. Although he had a slight tendency to favor saints, he was always in the camp of old saints.If he were to replace Zhao Shen, firstly, he would not let the people below rebound, which would lower the old sage's defenses, and secondly, he would be able to use this position to attract Yang Yin to join his camp, which would facilitate the placement of his own people.

Win-win.

Presumably, Yang Yin's vagueness should also be real.

Daiyu looked at Tom, but saw him shaking his head: "You haven't noticed something wrong yet?"

Daiyu turned her head to think, but she didn't find anything wrong. Tom calmed down and didn't interrupt, letting Daiyu think.Taoxin, Jicui, and Nanny Guo, who were serving in the room, stood in the corner with their heads bowed, like pictures of beauties hanging on the wall.

The surrounding windows are open, and occasionally a breeze blows in, causing the curtains to flutter a little.

"This shouldn't be the work of a sage." Daiyu woke up: "Our sage was in the hands of the elder and the servant girl. It’s such a big game with the brain. There is someone behind him, or someone is using his hands to do something.”

It suddenly dawned on me that, having figured it out like this, all previous guesses were overturned, and I fell into a puzzle again.

Who is behind it?What exactly is he trying to do?

Tom checked the time, and it was almost time to go.He took out a small mirror from his pocket: "This is a double-sided mirror. If you need to find me, just tap the mirror three times, and we can talk in the mirror."

Daiyu looked strange, but no matter how strange it was, Tom had seen it before, so she didn't put too much thought on it, and she still thought about something she couldn't figure out, so she just handed the mirror to Mother Guo to put it away. Still thinking about it.

Tom didn't intend to completely explain Daiyu's confusion, but he hugged her and went back to Hogwarts.

Life at Hogwarts was the same as before, and Tom's influence was constantly expanding.There are more and more people following him, and now most of the students, even if they are older, are respectful when they talk to Tom, and they often say the word honor.

At noon, Tom was looking at his assets in England in his dormitory.

Who says loss is not gain.

After dissipating his family wealth last time, Tom not only won a legitimate title of honor, but also used his good reputation to buy back part of the previously sold land at a very low price after the war.

Since it is impossible to only do half of a play, Tom's property has shrunk by nine tenths at the beginning, but the most important arsenal, the government sold it back to Tom at one tenth of its own value, and gave it to Tom. There are many support policies.

That's the point of Tom.

After two years of accumulation, Britain no longer needs him to subsidize with the Lin family's money. During the war, not only the disaster money came quickly, but also a large number of displaced people became Tom's wealth.

The previous fame earned Tom the title of a Viscount, which was more convenient for him to collect land and population.

Replied a long letter to Bodo.Tom decided to transform his military factory, from purchasing technology to mass production to independent research and development of technology, making it more refined and stronger.

The war won't last long, and we have to make plans for the future.

Tom studied tirelessly at Hogwarts and developed his power by the way.Daiyu's life in Rongguo Mansion is also quite peaceful. Although there are turmoil outside, Rongguo Mansion now has no titles and no real power, so everyone doesn't take them to play, so no matter how many people outside get on and off their horses, it is very important for Rongguo Mansion. , has no effect at all.

Daiyu had a headache from thinking too much, and didn't sleep well for the past two nights, so she decided to put this question aside and wait for Tom to come.

"Where are Sifu and Jing'an?" Sifu is the new dog, Jing'an and the cat.

Mingyan said: "They're all asleep. These two little guys, they eat and sleep, they look like two little pigs. Their bodies seem to be rounded."

"I'm afraid the girl doesn't know, but Jing'an is fine, and Sifu can eat them." Chicao likes these small animals, and she is the one who looks at them most frequently every day: "I just fed it yesterday, it's good." I ate a whole big bowl of meat. The little girl fell asleep watching it and turned to do other things when she was relieved. Who knew that when she came back, she found that it was gone. Looking around, the girl guessed where it went. .”

"Tell me quickly, don't you get into some corner of the wall again." Daiyu was delighted to hear it.

"It got into the extinguished stove hole." Xiaocao laughed so hard that his stomach ached when he thought about it: "I don't know how it did it, but it dragged a lot of cabbage into it to eat, and the cabbage was bigger than its whole dog." big."

Xiaocao gestured to the size of the cabbage: "The little girl cried and found him, but it was because Mrs. Zhao in the cook put firewood when she went to light the fire. Every time she put it in, she was thrown out again. She couldn't put it in for a long time. I found it. When the little girl took it out, it was covered in ashes from the stove, and it was gray and gray. It was still not happy, and twisted its buttocks to get into the hole in the stove. Later, I took out the cabbage and found that the cabbage was It gnawed half of it."

Everyone in the room was amused by Xiaocao's words, Daiyu laughed so hard that the handkerchief covered her mouth, and she stopped after a while: "If they are asleep, let them sleep, and when they wake up, come and see them."

The weather looked good that day, so Daiyu thought about going for a stroll in the yard.It's not very interesting to walk around, so Cui just waited on the side: "Young lady, why don't you go to the old lady's place and talk with the girls at home."

Daiyu rejected it immediately: "There must be Sister Bao with them at this time, so I won't bother with that. I've heard people say Gu."

Ordinarily, the word ancient was originally used by people who couldn't get along at home to go to relatives' houses to talk about the past, but although Xue Baochai didn't play autumn games at relatives' houses, his daily conversations were no different from this.Although at first I felt that what she said had some sense, but any more it was full of big sister's words and she always talked about the past of the four families, which was really annoying to listen to.

Thinking back on Baochai's daily demeanor, Ji Cui couldn't help laughing: "Since the girl doesn't like to listen to people talking about ancient times, why don't you go to Second Grandma Lian and listen to the elder sister's children's talk."

"That's right, let's go." Daiyu turned a corner and walked towards Wang Xifeng's Baosha.

Turning into the back of Rongxi hall, within two steps, a woman came to meet her, she really belonged to Zhou Rui's family, and behind her was an old woman and a young boy.Even the third-class servants in the Rongguo Mansion wore gold and silver, but the old lady and the boy had no gold or silver jewelry at all.

The opposite side had already greeted them, and Zhou Rui's family couldn't avoid them, so they went forward to salute, and then introduced Grandma Liu and her little grandson, Ban'er, who were behind them.

Knowing that she is not a servant but a relative of the Wang family, at such an advanced age, Daiyu dare not let them really kneel down and salute.He hurriedly lowered his body, and helped the grandma get up before she knelt down: "Grandma, don't be too polite, since I am a relative of the second sister-in-law, I am a junior, how dare you let me salute to me."

Zhou Rui's family also quickly grabbed Grandma Liu, and asked Daiyu: "Why is the girl here? But what do you want to tell me?"

"It's okay. I was going to take a break with my second sister-in-law. Since she has something to do, I won't bother her. You can go." Seeing that Wang Xifeng had a guest, Daiyu stopped going to her.

Zhou Rui's family replied again: "Since the girls want to get away, it's better to go to the old lady's place and talk with the girls at home. I heard that Miss Bao is sick today, and she is resting in the Pear Fragrance Garden. Lonely, Miss Lin might as well go and have fun together."

Daiyu didn't really want to go: "You just go, I'll go back to my room and read a book. It's good for me. Later, when you see Sister Bao, go help me and talk to her. I haven't slept well in the past two nights. It's a little better. I'll go see her some more."

After speaking, Daiyu saluted Grandma Liu again, then turned and left.

Grandma Liu hurriedly returned the gift, but Daiyu had already left when she looked up.Looking at Daiyu's back, Grandma Liu couldn't take her eyes away, and asked Zhou Rui's family: "My dear, is this the young lady of the family? It's like a fairy, those of us who are in the mud don't dare to look at it."
