Queen Mother Li thought for a moment and then said: "Recently, many people have indeed told the Ai family about Qingya Xiaozhu when they came to the palace. They said that Qingya Xiaozhu was like a paradise in the world, and the Ai family were envious when they heard it.
!It’s just that the Ai family’s status is different, so it’s not easy to get around.”
Chen Hong said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? I'll inform Uncle Gu Ning's house and ask him to seal the garden, and the queen can naturally go and have a look at it at will! If the queen feels bored alone, then bring a few more wives.
That’s it!”
Queen Mother Li relaxed her body, leaned on the golden pier and said, "This is all for later, let's continue talking about the affairs of Uncle Gu Ning's Mansion!"
Chen Hong bowed and said: "Actually, I don't know much about the affairs of Uncle Gu Ning's house. I only know that they were quite poor in the past. After a few generations, they will be squeezed out of the ranks of nobles! But
I don’t know how it happened, but it suddenly started to develop in the past few years! So I thought there must be an expert behind it!"
Empress Dowager Li said with great interest: "Oh? It does look like someone has a master's advice, but I don't know who this person is? He can bring a dilapidated noble house back to the top.
It's not easy to be in the queue! I'm afraid this elegant little building is also intentional, rather than a thing to relieve boredom! But this person has a good intention! If he can be recruited, he can at least serve as a long-lived master.
Helper! What else did you find out!?"
Chen Hong said: "That's all for now! But I just ordered people to check when I came here. Although I ignored Gu Ningbo's house in the past few years, after he became popular in the past few years, I have been on it.
I'm worried, I've already placed people in his business. It's just that I can't place them in the house for a while! But it's enough to get some information!"
After hearing this, Queen Mother Li nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good! Long Live Master should have people like you around him to help him all the time!"
After hearing this, Chen Hong secretly smiled bitterly in his heart! How can he get on Long Live Lord's side now? Feng Bao and the others have been guarding them from the front all day long! But fortunately, the empress can still get on the line, so they won't be caught.
Get out of the palace!
Thinking of this, he cheered up and started chatting with Empress Dowager Li. Chen Hongjiu was in the palace and had known the Empress Dowager for a long time. The two of them could talk to each other. With the help of a few palace maids, the conversation was full of laughter.
Continuously, very comfortable!
About half an hour later, someone outside reported that a eunuch was coming to see him. Empress Dowager Li said: "I guess the news has arrived, please call the person in!"
After a while, a eunuch walked in. After meeting the Queen Mother and Chen Hong, he raised a document over his head. Chen Hong took the document and waved the eunuch to leave. Then he began to read the sticker on the cover of the document.
This kind of sticker is common in the inner court, and is basically used for various memorials and hand-folded documents. Because memorials and other things had a lot of content at that time, a special person in the inner study wrote the content in abbreviations and pasted it on the cover. From
People who read it will judge whether it is worth reading. If it is an important matter, review it personally. If it is not important, move it to other places.
Chen Hongjiu was used to seeing documents in the palace, and he had already developed the ability to read ten lines at a glance! When he took the sticker in his hand, he could see clearly at a glance. However, he had already developed the ability to hide his emotions and anger, and his face
I still couldn’t help but show a surprised expression!
The Queen Mother could naturally see the change in his expression, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, Chen Hong would tell him the truth. She just felt a little strange. Could an ordinary investigation find anything surprising or surprising?
At this time, Chen Hong took off the sticker and handed the document to Queen Mother Li with respectful hands. Queen Mother Li took it and opened it and read it carefully. After reading it for a long time, she also showed a surprised look!
The document was not thick, only about a dozen pages. So Queen Mother Li read it quickly. She handed it to Chen Hong and said slowly: "You should read it first!"
Chen Hong took the document and flipped through it quickly. After he finished reading, he closed the book and said, "Mother, I always thought that someone was recruited by Gu Ningbo's house, but I didn't expect that the person who made the decision was a child!"
If Liu Haojia could see the book in Chen Hong's hand, he would definitely be surprised! Because it clearly records the activities of Gu Ningbo Mansion in recent years!
From how Liu Haojia found out the secret recipe for snow candy among old papers, to the opening of Shiweizhai, including the guess that the secret seasoning recipe used should be obtained from the Liu family's books, as well as the reasons before and after the opening of Qingya Xiaozhu, the list of shareholders, etc.
Everything you need!
There are definitely some places where there are guesses, but they are generally accurate. Even the guesses are very close! Fortunately, Liu Haojia paid attention to confidentiality at the beginning and did not leak out the methods of making snow sugar and seasonings. But this shows that the imperial court
The ability to control Xungui!
In fact, this is a very normal thing. As a royal family, we both rely on the nobles and need to be wary of them! The court relies on the nobles because they live with the country and the interests of both parties are highly consistent! In order to preserve their wealth,
They will also desperately support the continuation of the Ming Dynasty!
Just like what Alexandre Dumas’ character Athos once said: The king becomes powerful by relying on the nobles, and the nobles become powerful by relying on the king!
Of course, it is normal for the royal family to be wary of nobles! Because the rebellions in the past dynasties were successful and those who were able to establish the dynasty, except Zhu Yuanzhang, were all from noble families! In other words, the royal family is just the more powerful one among the nobles! Since
If they can overthrow the previous dynasty and seize the throne, those sitting on the dragon throne will naturally have to be wary of those who are also noble!
At this time, another palace maid came to report that a document had been delivered. After Chen Hong took the document, he found that there was no sticker on the document. He knew that there was not much recorded in it, so he gave it directly to Queen Mother Li.
Queen Mother Li opened the document and looked at it. She nodded repeatedly and seemed very satisfied. This gave Chen Hong some expectations!
When the Queen Mother read the document and gave it to Chen Hong to read, he realized that it turned out that it recorded the situation of Gu Ningbo in the past. However, Chen Hong did not read the previous detailed explanation and directly turned to the last page to read Jin Yiwei's conclusion.
, I saw it read: "Gu Ningbo in the past has been loyal, diligent, and honest, but most of them are people who don't know how to adapt and are not good at management. Their martial arts skills are acceptable, and they can be chargers."
Chen Hong didn't rush to speak after reading it, because it was the Queen Mother and the Emperor's business to evaluate the ministers, not his business. So he just stood there with the book and waited for the Queen Mother to speak.
