Chapter 673: Big rewards
Chapter 673 Big rewards
After hearing Yin Enci's words, Sibao Lin Ruijia hesitated to retract the beef jerky in his hand.
Chu Nanzhi felt warm in her heart, patted the little guy on the head, and said softly: "Listen to great-grandmother, eat quickly."
Yin Enci saw his great-grandchildren for the first time today, and his heart ached. Although he took out all the things from the bottom of the box, he was afraid that the little treasures would spoil their stomachs, so he followed Chu Nanzhi's gentle advice:
"You are living in the palace with your mother these few days, and your great-grandmother asked the palace people to prepare lunch, so don't be too greedy."
As he spoke, he looked at Hai Lianying at the side, and said with a smile, "Lianying, take your highness and princesses to the courtyard for a while, so you can have dinner later."
As soon as he heard that he was going to live in the palace for a while, Sanbao Lin Ruichong excitedly confirmed to Chu Nanzhi: "Aniang, are we really going to live in the great-grandmother's house?"
I thought it would be luxurious enough to move into the palace, but after arriving at the palace, I realized that it was nothing.
He absolutely loves it.
Seeing the little one who has never seen the world, Chu Nanzhi nodded dumbfoundingly: "Great-grandmother likes you and wants you to stay in the palace to accompany her old man more, but you are not allowed to mess around and make her unhappy. "
"Hey, it's the nature of children to be innocent and straightforward, girl, you don't have to keep them in check."
Yin Enci looked around at the crowd with serious eyes, and sighed deeply: "The Zhaochun Palace of Ai Family hasn't been this lively for a long time, it's good if there are a few of them making a fuss."
"Great-grandmother, can we play Cuju in your palace?"
When Sanbao Lin Ruichong entered the palace, he saw that the great-grandmother's yard was unusually spacious, so he was so playful that he couldn't wait to ask.
"Cuju?"
Yin Enci frowned suddenly.
That is not something that can be elegant.
The rest of the palace people also buried their heads carefully.
"This is not a good sign."
Yin Enci looked at Chu Nanzhi worriedly: "The emperor of the previous dynasty was obsessed with Cuju, and the palace raised a bunch of disciples from three religions and nine streams, so he lost this great country."
Before in Luyan Port, this matter caused the dissatisfaction of Song Liao, the chief minister. Chu Nanzhi knew that the dignitaries in Beijing didn't like Cuju, and regarded Cuju as a low-level business that was not doing business properly.
It’s not easy to openly disobey the ancestors, so Chu Nanzhi could only say euphemistically: "In the past, there were not many things that little treasures could play with in the village. Cuju can make them happy and keep them healthy."
In her opinion, these sports are reasonable events, and it depends on the mentality of the players.
I wanted to make a more justifiable defense, but the little guy Sanbao was really not a progressive master. If the old ancestor blamed his poor academic performance on Cuju, I would have no confidence.
Hearing her words, Yin Enci felt very sad, thinking that the couple had lived in the village for a long time and had to raise so many children, so they might live in poverty.
It's not good to blame her anymore, Yin Enci held her hand tightly, and said earnestly: "It's been hard for you these years, and the family's livelihood depends on you."
"The old ancestors promoted the courtiers' wives."
Chu Nanzhi speculated that she should know something about the past of the original owner, and smiled embarrassingly: "My wife was also very impetuous before, but fortunately with the help of my parents, I have survived these years, if I hadn't gone through the tax With the change in the silver case, I am afraid that the minister's wife will still live in a muddle."
"Your mother is really a rare and virtuous person."
Mentioning Liu Yun, Yin Enci was quite moved.
Although she also wanted to marry her grandson to the Chang family at the beginning, but after thinking about it later, the situation of her grandson these years may be difficult for a family like the Chang family to look at him highly.
The second room of the Chang family has always been the master of the low and the high.
"A while ago, Jin Xiao Shangzuo asked for a title for his mother-in-law, and the Ai family wanted to ask His Majesty for a title for your mother's family."
Before Yin Enci finished speaking, Chu Nanzhi immediately stopped her and said: "This matter must not be resolved. The ancestors cherished my wife and sympathized with my mother. The wife is very grateful, but it is really inappropriate to award rewards at this juncture."
"Why not."
Yin Enci smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's not up to others to point out those who Aijia wants to favor."
After a pause, she looked at Chu Nanzhi earnestly, and continued: "Girl, you don't have to think that Aijia's move is just to pity your family. Now that the political situation is unstable, it's really hard to predict whether the people will support you or not. The Ai family's heavy use of the power of their relatives has been criticized, but everyone has ignored the fact that the Ai family knows how to use it well. Without the support of my Yin family and the Ji family, I am afraid that the current imperial court has long been dominated by Qinghe dignitaries .”
This remark made Chu Nanzhi think so.
The people from the Yin family and Ji family who are officials in the court are indeed the mainstay. They are neither arrogant nor abusing their private power. They all serve the court loyally.
On the other hand, the gang of Qinghe dignitaries, all of them only caring about forming a party for personal gain, completely lost the slightest bit of integrity.
Yin Enci said again: "The Ai family also knows that you are a good boy with ambition, but it all depends on your own hard work. I'm afraid you won't be able to earn the family fortune accumulated by generations of aristocratic families even if you burn out. The princess dared to enter Prince Pingning's mansion so confidently, not because of the prominent family background of the Tang family, you are the granddaughter-in-law recognized by the Ai family, if the Ai family does not spoil you and protect you, who else would take pity on you."
Pulling her to sit down, Yin Enci took a sip of tea unhurriedly before continuing:
"While the Ai family can still exert some residual heat, the Ai family will try their best to do more things for you and your husband. There are still some people in the Qinghe dignitaries and veterans of Jingling City who want to sell the Ai family some thin noodles. This old fox pretends to be respectful, but whoever is not thinking of his own wishful thinking in his heart, Aijia has to let them know that no matter how cleverly they play their wishful thinking, it is just an untouchable big cake, only relying on Aijia Only then can it be fulfilled."
After saying that, she didn't bother to ask what Chu Nanzhi meant, and directly ordered Tong Hailian, who was serious about the matter, to say: "Servant Hai, when you go to Rongde Palace to feed medicine for the emperor at night, I will inform the emperor on the way. The Ai family agreed to what he had previously discussed with Shang Shutai, and made Chu Wenbi the prince of the Chu family as Marquis of Haining and Lin Tingzhen as Marquis of Haichang. .”
Chu Nanzhi did not expect that the imperial court had already discussed the canonization of Chu Wenbi.
When I first entered the palace, I saw the empress dowager three times in one day.
Although she understood that the old ancestor's intention was to attract people's hearts, this continuous big action also made her feel unprecedented pressure.
In this way, he and Lin Jinxiao will become the target of public criticism.
Now, she only hopes that she will not fail the painstaking efforts of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty.
