"I talked to my sister these days and always felt that she seemed to have something in her words. When I asked her, she wanted to speak but stopped. Did you think she had encountered something difficult?"

Song Qinnian was already brewing sleepiness, but after hearing this, his mind suddenly became clear.

"did you mean?"

"I think she might have something to ask us to help, but it's hard to say it out." Liu Yunyao guessed.

Song Qinnian frowned and asked, "You're serious? Ying'er is really true. She is at her age and can't tell us anything. My elder brother can still watch her regardless of whether she can."

Liu Yunyao knew that these men were too direct in thinking about problems and didn't understand the many concerns in women's hearts.

She guessed that Song Ying was just worried that even though they had a good relationship when they were young, they now had their own families and had more important people. How could they really think about each other wholeheartedly as before?

Liu Yunyao told her husband about her guess, and the latter sighed.

Yao'er was right. If he were just Song Qinnian, who was in his teenage years old, he would definitely do his best to protect this sister, but now he has a wife and a child, so he can no longer be so impulsive when doing things.

"Even if I want to help her, I have to know what she is doing for first, Yao'er, or you can ask her tomorrow?"

Liu Yunyao glared at the lump of wood and analyzed it to him in anger.

"What can my sister do, a woman in the back home? She and her brother-in-law are naturally intimate. Her brother-in-law doesn't seem to have an external heart. Then what she wants depends on her husband and son!"

His wife's words reminded Song Qinnian. If this is the case, he also discovered that his brother-in-law Jiang Chao always seemed to have a different expression.

Jiang Chao said this trip was to go to Beijing to report his work, but the report time was in the beginning of spring. Song Qinnian was only happy to be able to get together with his cousin and his family, but did not think deeply about the reasons. Instead, it was not as clear as others. Now he knows it later.

Later I realized the key points.

"Oh... I think they may be worried about their brother-in-law's career."

Liu Yunyao had such a speculation for a long time, but it was because Song Qinnian valued Song Ying that she did not directly point it out. Now that he had figured it out by himself, she no longer cared about it.

"My brother-in-law has the support of your and my clan forces in Jiangnan, but he has been lukewarm over the years. I'm afraid he's a little anxious, so he wants to come and take a walk of your way."

There is another thing that Liu Yunyao didn't say directly. Now that Song Qinnian is so eye-catching in front of the emperor, he probably has gone to Jiangnan.

No matter what the situation between him and the emperor is actually in the eyes of outsiders, Song Qinnian has indeed been in the limelight in recent years. If Jiang Chao is not handled well, the two families may have resentment.

Even if Liu Yunyao didn't say it, Song Qinnian could see it clearly, and it would be a little trouble now.

In his opinion, Jiang Chao's rigid and upright personality is actually not suitable for entering the officialdom.

To say that he is honest is already praising him. In the words of his daughter Lanxi, he is a straight man and doesn't know how to speak at all.

Jiang Chao has a good character, a gentle person, and a good literary talent, but he is a little stunned in his personality.

Whether it is speaking or doing things, he is always straightforward and completely ignorant. He always tells the truth when talking to others. He does not know how to keep people face and can easily offend people.

Jiangnan is the base camp of the Song and Liu families, but even with two families escorting Jiang Chao, his official career has not improved for a long time, and he is still only a fifth-rank local official.

"He brought Ying'er and Yan'er to Beijing together. Did he want to stay in Beijing?"

If he wanted to be sent to somewhere, Song Qinnian could still help, but it was completely unnecessary, because there is still a place in the world that is more comfortable than staying in the old nest in Jiangnan?

Therefore, Ruo Jiangchao wanted to ask him for help, but he might only want to come to the capital to make a fortune and was unwilling to stay in Jiangnan again.

Liu Yunyao was also worried. Even if a relative wanted to switch from another place to the capital, it would be easy to handle. There were many officials with good reputation but not much power here. With the face of her husband, she only needed to give a few words to others.

OK.

But the problem is broken by Jiang Chao himself.

Perhaps many people can accept such official positions, but Jiang Chao cannot. Although he is not good at human relationships, he is a person who sincerely wants to do practical things.

Let him rest at home under the painless official name, he might be able to point at the nose of the elder brother Song Qinnian.

But no one in this world is fool, let alone those who are smart in the officialdom. Everyone is eager to take positions that can be done. Even if they can't use them, it will be the same for arranging people in the faction to take over.

If you want to seize food from others, you not only need to have strength but also need to seize the opportunity. This matter is not that easy to deal with.

Song Qinnian closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead, comforting his wife: "This matter is not urgent for the time being. Anyway, Ying'er and the others have not opened their mouths yet, so there is no need to take the initiative to provoke it. I will first look for it if there is any

What's right, just look at it while walking."

Liu Yunyao nodded. She basically couldn't help anyway, so let him worry about this.

"Everyone listens to you, you have to go to court as soon as possible, let's take a break soon."

The next day, Song Ying came to the main courtyard to find Liu Yunyao again. The latter was looking through the account book at the shop. After hearing Mo Yan's communication, Liu Yunyao was holding the page of the paper and then slowly put the account book together.

Put it back in place.

"Let her come in."

Mo Yan nodded and exited the room. After a few breaths, she took Song Ying, who had exquisite makeup, back.

After entering the room, Song Ying saw the stack of accounts on her desk at a glance, and a hint of anger flashed across her face.

"Sister-in-law, I'm a coincidence. Have you disturbed your account check?"

I wonder if my sister-in-law will be unhappy because of this, so don’t affect the important thing she is going to talk about next.

"It's okay, I just want to see it when I'm free. On weekdays, Grandma Mi looks at me, so I feel at ease."

To prevent Song Ying from feeling that she was talking about the scene, Liu Yunyao waved her hands towards Qingque and Mo Yan, "Qingque will send all these accounts to Grandma Mi. Mo Yan, go and make a pot of tea again."

After saying that, she smiled and explained to Song Ying: "I don't know what kind of tea you like to drink on weekdays. The master said last time that Mao Jian is pretty good, will he give you this drink?"

Song Ying didn't care what tea she drank, but the warm attitude that Liu Yunyao showed made her originally nervous and uncomfortable relax a little.

"My sister-in-law is that I have no particular concerns about drinking tea. Don't blame me for chewing peonies for ruining good things."
