Li Tong returned home, looked for Second Master Wen, didn't say anything about Jiang Huanzhang and Gao Ziyi, first said the last two sentences of the eldest princess of Fu'an, Second Master Wen's face changed when he heard it, he didn't care about saying more, he hurriedly asked for a horse, took Lu Fu and Brother Huan and a few others, and went straight to Shangyuan County.
The next day, just after dawn, Second Master Wen went into the city and came back.
After eating and resting, Li Tong saw that his face was fine, but there was a faint trace of indescribable struggle and depression in his expression.
"What's wrong" Li Tong's heart couldn't help but mention, and he asked first.
Second Master Wen shook his head with a wry smile, "What do you say?"
Alas," Second Master Wen sighed slowly, "Let's start from the beginning, otherwise I won't be able to say clearly." ” Li Tong stood up and personally made a cup of tea for Second Master Wen.
"My family's affairs, the girl knows, until now, our Wen family, in addition to me and my sister, actually has a living person, is the son of a big girl who my uncle has been waiting for since he was a child, my uncle was determined to be alone for a lifetime, let go of his hands and feet to do what he wanted, but when he learned that the girl was pregnant, my uncle still couldn't get rid of the worldly feelings, and took advantage of the small month, found an excuse to send the girl out, in fact, secretly sent people back to his hometown Shangyuan County."
Li Tong was stunned, raised her hand and pressed it on her forehead, from yesterday to now, she has heard too many things that stunned her.
"At that time, the eldest sister had just gotten married, and she had a miscarriage less than three months pregnant, so she hid the miscarriage, and when the girl gave birth to a son, she hugged her, saying that she was her eldest son, and my uncle told me before he died, I don't have to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, as long as he lives well and has children, over the years, my sister and brother-in-law treat him as their own child, and I almost forgot that this nephew is actually my cousin."
Second Master Wen thought of the grievances and tragic deaths of his uncle and father, and his expression was sad, and after a while, he continued: "This secret, I thought that until now, except for me, my sister and brother-in-law, no one in this world knows about it. ” "How does the eldest princess know" Li Tong felt a chill in her heart, how did she know how many other secrets like this she knew "I don't know, I'm this" Second Master Wen paused, "nephew, is also the temper of the Wen family, beating children is different from other children, he is very smart, just because he is too smart, he has been studying for a few years, my sister and I discussed, I won't let him study anymore, and send him to a crude medicine shop as an apprentice, who knows that after a few years of apprenticeship, he hid it from his parents, and me, and he was admitted to the little official without a sound, alas" Second Master Wen smiled bitterly, "Look at it, this is the bloodline of our Wen family, and there is no one who is safe."
Li Tong raised his eyebrows, not knowing what to say, this is also a big ambition "My sister and I had no choice, so we had to ask people everywhere, placed him in the county government of Shangyuan County, and made a clerical work, and my sister quickly told him that he was a protégé, a girl from the county grain book, and he himself was very fond of it, and became a parent, and he had a child the next year, and a family and a room, until I came here, I have been in peace."
Second Master Wen rubbed his forehead vigorously and sighed, "Alas, I went back yesterday, my sister and brother-in-law were preparing to come to me in a car, my nephew, who accompanied his father-in-law to the capital last month to deal with money and grain," Second Master Wen paused, and there was a hint of pride in his wry smile, "He is a member of the Wen family, he was born to understand these things like money, grain, and punishment, and his father-in-law's ancestors have been grain books for generations, but he has done one or two accounts for his father-in-law, and he is much more proficient than his father-in-law.
In fact, he made this account for his father-in-law. ” Li Tong nodded, Second Master Wen's ability in money and grain, she has seen it, his cousin, can have one percent of him, and it will be more than enough to deal with the money and grain taxes of a county.
"By the way, he didn't know who he heard about the county officials who were selected to go abroad, just like the last time he took the exam, he didn't make a sound, and found an excuse to stay in the capital for a few more days, and he got a shortage of Cao County County, alas, he didn't have been taught, and he couldn't see the coincidence in the middle, it was too coincidental."
Second Master Wen sighed continuously, Li Tong also nodded, the county is regarded as the junction of officials and officials, the highest position in a small official's life, or an important goal for a young official with lofty ambitions, he got it too easily, and the things sent to the door will always be wrapped with deep or shallow hooks.
"Is there anything special about Cao County?"
Li Tong thought for a while and asked.
"Zhu Mingyi, the magistrate of Cao County, is the nephew of the mother of the eldest princess Huo, he, the magistrate of Cao County, has at least seven or eight points to see the face of the eldest prince, Zhu Mingyi is timid and afraid, he is very kind-hearted, and he has very few eyes."
Second Master Wen commented on Zhu Mingyi in a few words.
Li Tong understood as soon as he heard it, such a magistrate, if he encountered a county like Wen Erye, he would soon become a puppet who obeyed his words.
"Do you think this is the eldest princess's arrangement," Li Tong asked softly.
"I don't know, it's not necessarily all arranged by the eldest princess, but no matter who arranged it, now, this matter is in the hands of the eldest princess."
Second Master Wen lowered his head, and it took a long time before he said in a low voice: "I shouldn't mess with her." ” "You didn't mess with her, and the eldest princess wasn't so stingy."
Li Tong's voice was soft, "There are two more things, you were in a hurry yesterday, and I haven't had time to tell you."
The eldest princess said that Jiang Huanzhang had a bad character, and she couldn't let him take the King of Jin with him by the side of the King of Jin, and said that she would send him to Weinan County to be the magistrate of the county, and transfer Gao Ziyi to the Jin Palace. ” "What" Second Master Wen was as stunned as Li Tong when he heard this, or even more stunned.
"Transferring Jiang Huanzhang to Weinan is the eldest princess to protect the short, I am afraid that he will bring the king of Jin, this is human nature, but Gao Ziyi can be transferred to the Jin Palace, this matter" Li Tong looked at the second master Wen, "I can't think about it, yesterday the eldest princess said, if I can't think of it, I will ask you for guidance, and then said those few words, let you go home and see." ” "Alas" Second Master Wen slapped the table at once, "So that's the case, alas, this heart, it's a little better, let me sort it out." ” Second Master Wen stood up, paced back and forth, and after half a quarter of an hour's effort, he stopped, turned around and sat back, looked at Li Tong and said: "First, the eldest princess has abandoned the prince, and in her eyes, there are only two left now, King Jin, and Fifth Master." ” Li Tong nodded, she also thought of this.
"Second, Gao Shujiang regretted it."
After Second Master Wen finished speaking, he couldn't say any expression on his face, and he smiled with all kinds of flavors, "Moreover, the eldest princess knows that Gao Shujiang regrets it." ”:
