It seems that the current dark wave is far more violent than expected.
In view of this, Qi Yu decided to change the original plan.
After escorting all the family members to Yongchuan Mansion and making arrangements, he will go north again.
This can be done more thoughtfully.
After several twists and turns and more than ten days, the group finally arrived in Yongchuan Prefecture.
Qi Yu ordered that everyone should turn into passing merchants and move forward in a low profile without any form of publicity.
Of course, he couldn't release the news of his arrival.
Since it is a secret operation, it is best to be cautious.
On a sunny morning, the Qi family arrived at their hometown in Yongchuan Prefecture.
Qi Yu stopped there and looked up, his eyes filled with sadness.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and said: "Hey... let's go home!"
People all over the world say that people are more timid when they are close to their hometown.
However, this time, Qi Yu was mostly sad.
The home in front of me feels both familiar and strange at the same time, as if I'm in a dream, hazy and somewhat unrealistic.
Frankly speaking, except for the beautiful memories of the past, Qi Yu really couldn't feel any warmth from it.
As he said, home is an emotion, not a cold and cold house. It feels much worse where no one lives.
After settling in, he hurriedly went to Meng Lanshan's house.
Like myself, my husband also returned to his ancestral home to take a look.
Qi Yu was no stranger to that house.
During the imperial examination period, I went to visit him more than once, and it was there that I got acquainted with my husband.
What surprised Qi Yu was that He Shun, the old housekeeper from the past, actually stayed here and took up the job of looking after the house and nursing home.
He is getting older, so he can just work and take care of his old age at the same time.
Enter the entrance, enter the hospital.
Just like when we first met, Meng Lanshan was sitting in the courtyard enjoying tea leisurely.
The difference is that at that time the flowers were blooming and falling, and the spring scenery was pleasant; but now it is the flying leaves, and the lingering feeling of autumn.
Moreover, it also has a bit more sadness.
Regarding the past, Meng Lanshan said with emotion: "Every year the flowers are the same, but the people are different every year; if you send me a message about the beauty, I should pity the half-dead white-headed man..."
Hearing this, Qi Yu quickly corrected him: "Haha, sir, you have forgotten. When we first met, it was the two of us and Butler He Shun who was in charge of reception. There were no other guests. There is no difference between the two before and after."
But Meng Lanshan shook his head and said: "What a big difference! You are no longer the same person you were then; and I am no longer the same person as I was then. Nowadays, time has passed, things have changed, people have changed, and the world has changed."
yes!
The world has indeed changed!
This sentiment also applies to Yin Tao.
This is how she feels now.
Tell me, how long has the emperor been gone before he started acting unscrupulously in the court?
If this isn't the world changing, what is it?
oh?
What has changed?
The first is Liang Yingzhong's group. They have been trying to bring down the Qi family in order to avenge their sons.
If it weren't for his brother Yin Jun's strength, Qi Xiao's situation might have been dire.
However, relying on his own strength alone, it is a bit difficult to support him alone!
This is not to say that there is no one to help the Qi family, but that the ranks of the people in their own team are generally low, and they are not enough to compete fiercely with their opponents.
Take Meng Jiming, who has the best relationship, as an example.
His current position is that of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and his power is far inferior to that of Fu Renyi, the chief judge of the case.
But don't look at the difference between the two, but there is a huge difference in grade.
As the saying goes, the first level of officialdom kills people, and this is indeed true.
Judging from the overall strength of the cards alone, our side is indeed somewhat weak.
Fortunately, former chief assistant Zhong Yi secretly helped, and this was able to stabilize the overall situation.
In addition to the sudden changes in the court, Queen Su's attitude towards the Qi family also became somewhat subtle.
Earlier, she had sent someone to deliver a barbecued roe deer leg, and soon after, she gave herself the phoenix crown and harem that she wore when she got married.
The former is implying that if one has the ability to support Li Hongyu as a reserve, one can enjoy superhuman treatment at the brachial level. The latter is almost an undisguised attempt to win over others.
I've given you face, but it depends on whether you are on the right track or not.
If you look at the pros and cons, you really shouldn't reject her.
Since it is cheap and profitable, why not take it?
However, he couldn't accept it himself.
This is a question of the most basic principles.
Well, let's put it this way.
Whether it is daily communication or courtesy exchanges, I can act with full authority on behalf of the Qi family.
Only in expressing political stance, I cannot go beyond the rules in the slightest.
This must be done by the husband.
Although there is currently only one option for the crown prince, which seems to be impeccable. However, whether to support him or not is another matter.
How do you know what your husband is thinking?
So for now, we can only deal with it vaguely, but cannot make a clear statement.
One can imagine how unhappy Queen Su would be after learning about this.
Just when he was worrying about gains and losses, he suddenly saw Huang Fei coming to retaliate in a hurry.
"Madam, Liang Yingzhong's group has accepted Queen Su's kindness. Judging from their behavior, they seem to have joined her."
"As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. It is understandable that they stand in this way. The reality is that no matter how things change in the future, Su Liu is the definite candidate for the empress dowager. In this case, how can they offend her unnecessarily?
"Yin Tao commented objectively.
Huang Fei frowned and said worriedly: "But this situation is not good for our case!"
Yin Tao sneered and said: "If my guess is correct, the Queen just wants to take advantage of both sides of the matter. If anyone disobeys, she will do something secretly to frighten her. Humph, before, I still thought
You really underestimated her!"
But when her voice changed, she said confidently: "However, we are not afraid! My husband is a dignified border official. He has a heavy army and is entrenched in Nanyang. I don't believe that she dares to touch our mother and son!"
Drink! Be confident!
However, it does sound a bit angry.
"Oh, by the way, where is my brother? Why don't you see him coming to discuss matters?" After losing his temper, Yin Tao suddenly came back to his senses and asked.
Huang Fei hurriedly replied: "I heard that Mr. Yin went out to handle a case today."
"Going out to handle a case?"
"Yes!"
Alas, it is so puzzling!
Qi Xiao's case hasn't been settled yet, so why is he messing with other cases?
