Chapter 1204 Frustrated
Huaishu Hutong, Wu Mansion.
Since Wu Shan re-appointed as Minister of Revenue, this place has regained its vitality. Not to mention that the Minister of Revenue's status is prominent enough and is different from the ordinary Minister of Revenue, Wu Shan has a high chance of joining the cabinet and becoming the prime minister.
This officialdom not only belongs to men, but also to women.
Although Wu Shan handled official duties in the Ministry of Revenue during the day, a group of maids of imperial decrees often came to visit the charming Mrs. Wu, which made the house look very lively.
Because Guo Pu and Wu Shan have a good relationship, Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Wu are like sisters.
After learning about the major incident today, Mrs. Guo took a sedan chair to visit Mrs. Wu, and even called the wife of the left deputy censor Zhao Bingran and others over.
Mrs. Guo is a strong figure and is a relatively strong woman. She asked Mrs. Wu very gossipedly: "How did Lord Wu know that Ge Lao Yan was out of favor? I just learned that Mr. Wu's disciple impeached Ge Lao Yan.
,I was shocked and I was sweating for you!"
Following the Beijing official group, many people learned that Zhang Wei impeached the Yan family’s father and son, and they thought Wu Shan was unlucky. But no one expected that the emperor would take the opportunity to deal with the Yan family’s father and son.
"I'm going to hide it from you. This is actually my son-in-law's idea. He encouraged him to submit a memorial to his fellow villager and the same year!" Mrs. Wu did not hide it and smiled slightly with a tea.
When Mrs. Guo heard this answer, although she had such a guess in her heart, she opened her mouth in surprise when she learned the truth, and turned to Wu Qiuyu sitting beside her and said with emotion: "Everyone says your husband is Wen Kuixing."
I came down to earth, I believe this time!"
Wu Qiuyu is also here, sitting in the last seat as the wife of the third-rank imperial edict.
Although she was not prominent in this high-end small circle, no one dared to underestimate her anymore. As Lin Qingran firmly took up the position of Shuntian Prefecture, Xu Jie once took off his horse, which made Wu Qiuyu's status rise.
Especially when she was a third-rank maid at a young age, Lin Qingran had such great potential. It is a foregone conclusion that it would be better for the first-rank maid in the future, and she would have at least decades of glorious days.
On the other hand, although many of them have won second-ranked maids, they have not been in the forefront for too long.
The same is true. Even Mrs. Guo, who has a high opinion of herself, dare not look down on Wu Qiuyu anymore, and she also has the slightest intention of winning over her.
"Aunt Guo, you are so accused!" Wu Qiuyu smiled slightly and responded modestly.
She originally liked the quiet personality of her father, but people were inevitably a little vanity. Mrs. Lin's identity is already well-known in the capital, and she has become the object of envy of many maids, which makes her willing to engage in various social activities.
"Mrs. Guo, don't joke! Ruoyu is really Wenkui Xingjun. If he bullies my Qiuyu in the future, I really dare not scold him!" Mrs. Wu had a cheerful personality and immediately joked.
Mrs. Zhao and others knew that they were here to accompany each other, and they also cooperated to cover their mouths and smiled, making the atmosphere here look very relaxed and pleasant.
It was at this moment that a green-clothed maid walked lightly from outside and muttered in Wu Qiuyu's ear.
Mrs. Guo is a gossipy person. He guessed that something might have happened, so he tentatively said: "Mrs. Lin, what happened? It's not to prove that what I just said is true, right?"
"Aunt Guo, you are laughing at me again!" Wu Qiuyu complained in a little woman's appearance, satisfying Mrs. Guo's curiosity and replied: "Aunt Guo, it's my husband here!" As he said that, he stood up from his seat and said to him.
Everyone bowed and said, "Mother, Aunt Guo, ladies, I will lose my companion first!"
When Mrs. Guo learned that Lin Xuran had arrived here, although she was not sure that Lin Xuran had come from Yan's mansion, she naturally didn't have to pull Wu Qiuyu away, but instead seemed to be tolerant and let Wu Qiuyu leave.
Just as Wu Qiuyu left, Mrs. Guo and others showed envious eyes.
Lin Qingran entered the Wu Mansion, headed straight towards the back garden, and went directly to the pavilion. His return to Yan Mansion made him feel an unprecedented frustration.
"My husband, are you okay?"
Wu Qiuyu came to the pavilion and looked at Lin Weiran's mental state obviously not good, and immediately asked with concern.
Lin Qingran looked up at his wife and said weakly: "Give me a cup of tea ginseng for you first!"
Wu Qiuyu rarely saw her husband so dejected. He immediately responded and hurriedly ordered the maid who accompanied him to go and make ginseng tea. His eyes looked at Lin Qingran with concern.
Lin Qingran did not hide it and said directly to Wu Qiuyu: "Yan Song and Xu Jie should have formed a tacit understanding. We may have some trouble here. You... let your husband calm down!"
Wu Qiuyu likes Lin Qingran very much. If you have something, you don’t like to hide it as much as your father, but will tell her directly. She knew that things were indeed extraordinary, so she responded immediately and waited for the maid to deliver the ginseng tea.
When she came over, she put the ginseng tea on the table and left Lin Weiran alone.
Lin Qingran was drinking ginseng tea, but it was different from the time he went to the yamen to sleep. This time he was physically and mentally exhausted. Although he had half a cup of ginseng tea, he still felt a little decadent.
Originally, he wanted to completely muddle the water in the capital and let the Yan and Xu fight, and he was good at reaping benefits. Finding the right time, he sent Wu Shan into the cabinet, and even helped Wu Shan to gain the prime minister.
Bit.
But everything was all about him, who claimed to be smart, and he was fantastic. Yan Song and Xu Jie's two old foxes did not intend to fight each other at all, but had reached a tacit understanding and planned to hand over the baton peacefully.
He was as slapped as Pan An, who was more wise than Zhuge, and was slapped by reality. His so-called strategy, but he turned out to be in vain and things were already developing in a bad direction.
If Xu Jie was in a stable position, then he and his father-in-law would probably be the first to be affected. Although this father-in-law is not very favored, he is the most orthodox poet and has the highest reputation in the current officialdom.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
It was just when I was at a loss that a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside me.
Lin Weiran heard this extremely familiar voice, looked up and saw the sudden appearance of Hu Niu. He immediately asked in confusion: "Hu Niu, why are you here?"
Hu Niu was wearing a tight outfit, with bright big eyes, and enviable good skin. She seemed to be a little taller, and she naturally replied in a crisp voice: "I happened to pass by this nearby, so
Come in and have a look!”
Unlike Lin Weiran, who was basically staying in the north of the city, since she was allowed to ride a horse, she ran around the entire city of Beijing, and recently she brought a group of young nobles outside the city to hunt.
Come in and take a look?
Lin Weiran's mouth twitched slightly. His half of his son treated him as an outsider when he went to his father-in-law's house, but she regarded this place as his home instead.
Hu Niu sat down opposite him, stared at Lin Shiran's face and asked seriously: "Brother, are you unhappy?"
"It's already written on your face!" Lin Weiran did not ease from the blow, and pointed at his face and looked weak.
"Brother, I just bought good things. If you eat them, you will be happy!" Hu Niu looked confident and made something full of fragrance from somewhere and put it on the table.
