After Wen Wan returned to her room, she roughly told Song Wei about Lin Xiaoyue's situation and asked him again: "When will Su Xiang enter the court?"

Song Wei calculated the days and said, "The spring is almost over."

Wen Wan's heart tightened, "Once the official regained his post, wouldn't he have to find ways to deal with his husband?"

Song Wei said: "After all, it's the uncle of the country. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, the emperor cannot really let him step down. However, with that case first, even if he is restored to his post, the emperor has some excuses not to use him."

Song Wei's words were not fabricated out of thin air, but were found by him during his time by Emperor Guangxi.

Emperor Guangxi was so angry that he gritted his teeth for this uncle, but the queen was still there. It was impossible for him to uproot the Su family's power for a while, and he had to slowly plan for it.

It is not impossible to demote Su Xiang based on the coal mine case, but there will be more troubles in the future.

It is better to let him regain his position and use it explicitly, but in fact he loses his power. It is much safer than to demote him and leave the surveillance sight and force the other party to try his best to make the tricks.

After a while, Song Wei continued, "As for me, the generals came to block the water and soil, and he had to do it every second and second, and he had planned it all at once or twice."

...

The person was in the Song family, and Lin Xiaoyue did not forget to ask the secret guards to go out to find out the news from his home. The next day, the secret guard brought the news back and said that the main courtyard was seriously burned and that the objects inside were not snatched out much. He asked Lin Xiaoyue if there was something inside.

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it carefully and seemed that there was nothing to be necessary except A Nuan. She shook her head.

After the secret guard stepped down, Jinzhi came in and asked in a low voice, "Does Grandma Qi want to buy something?"

She saw that the Song family was so simple that the conditions were far less than those in her own home, and she was afraid that her master would not adapt.

Lin Xiaoyue said no.

Jinzhi said again: "If grandma wants to worry about silver, I have saved some private money by myself, and they are all in the money house, so I can take it out for emergency treatment."

Lin Xiaoyue still shook her head.

Now she is in someone else's house, and she is unwilling to buy items with her owner's money. She uses her own money to buy something with her owner in the face.

No matter how you do it, it is not appropriate.

"It's already very good to have a temporary place to settle. As for the others, I didn't think so much about it," said Lin Xiaoyue.

It’s nothing she has to suffer a little herself, as long as her daughter can do it.

What's more, today is different from the past. The yard is burned and the losses are quite large. It's time to be short of money at hand, so naturally I can't be too busy anymore.

...

Su Xiang learned that Lin Xiaoyue had hid in the Song family and was so angry that his head hurt.

The big grandma was afraid that he would be angry and quickly explained, "After I left the water there, I arranged for someone to go there as soon as possible. Who would have thought that she would let her run away first."

Su Xiang hates the most unsuccessful people, and later finds excuses to cover up, and squirts her big grandmother and asks her to find a way to force Lin Xiaoyue out of the Song family. Otherwise, once the seventh brother comes back early to pick him up, it will be the same as the fire burning.

Big grandma has a headache.

It would be fine if Lin Xiaoyue hid in the inn, but she could find a way to get the other party to the prime minister's mansion.

But Lin Xiaoyue was hiding in the Song family, which was a bit difficult to deal with.

Song Wei went to the emperor every few days. If the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion had any head-on conflict with him, then he would tell Emperor Guangxi that the Prime Minister would still have to be restored to his post?

When Su Xiang saw her big grandmother hesitated and sneered coldly, "You can't force her head, won't you let something happen to Jeju?"

The big grandma shuddered, "It turns out that the prime minister is still wise."

Su Xiang was furious. What was he marrying?

...

Su Xiang planned to set fire to Jeju and force Lin Xiaoyue out of the Song family to be hostage him. However, the person arranged for him had not taken the action, and Lin's father had already taken the initiative to enter Beijing.

Lin's father calculated that the day of the granddaughter's full moon came. Unfortunately, the mountains were closed due to heavy snow on the road. It took a long time to wait for the full moon banquet to arrive in the capital.

He is a businessman and is not as ruling as the officialdom most of the time, but he will still talk about it when it is time to follow the rules.

For example, when I first entered Beijing, I went to meet the famous Prime Minister Su.

Even though he was an elder, Lin's father still politely brought gifts.

The moment Su Xiang saw the gift, he pulled down his face and was a bit too dark. The gift from Lin's father was a Gilded Pixiu.

The golden color is very consistent with the temperament of the local rich man in the Lin family.

Lin's father smiled and said that he had made a custom-made gift for the Xiangye to save the house and drive away evil spirits.

Pixiu is a auspicious beast recorded in ancient books. It has a fierce appearance. It is rumored that it has the magical effect of promoting luck and eliminating evil spirits and relieving Tai Sui.

However, the premise of all this is that the Pixiu must be opened first.

This one has been opened yet

Su Xiang didn't know, but he didn't want it.

As for the reason—

Regarding Pixiu, there is another saying among the people, saying that it protects its master and hates evil, so the premise of its pursuit of good fortune and avoids evil is that its master is kind-hearted.

If the owner has evil thoughts, not only will he not be protected by the Pixiu, but he will also be hurt by it.

Hundreds of people from the Su family, but they couldn't find a few kind-hearted people. Once this thing enters the house, wouldn't their family die?

The more Su Xiang looked at the Pixiu, the ugly his face became.

Lin’s father was still smiling, “Looking at the reaction of the prime minister, I think he is very satisfied with the gift. If you like it, I will make someone bigger next time.”

That tone is just a matter of telling the prime minister: You like it even though you like it, our family is not short of money anyway, so you can afford it!

Su Xiang cursed secretly: The countryside rustic eggs with no culture and no knowledge!

Someone else's Pixiu was used to wear, so he got a big one.

Before Su Xiang could speak, Lin's father directly ordered his servant to "moving the things to the prime minister."

"Wait!" Su Xiang said coldly.

"Don't worry, the monks of Fahua Temple have been invited to open it, which is absolutely auspicious."

Su Xiang did not give any face at all, "The Su family does not lack this shabby thing for you!"

Lin's father continued to smile, "I heard something happened to your mansion, and the prime minister was suspended and fined his salary. Our family has recently dug up a new road and is short of people to take over. If the prime minister thinks there are too many people under his command, why not transfer a few?"

This is clearly a gift to the door.

Su Xiang: "Come here, please come in!"

Lin’s father: “…”

In theory, such a large aristocratic family, it is not enough to be short of money.

But the truth is, they lack money, and their family really lacks money.

After the fifth master stepped into the coffin, the few officials who were ranked first in the Su family were not transferred.

If you are not transferred from outside, you cannot enjoy the "filial piety" of local officials. The annual income can only be counted on the salary you hold in Beijing.

The salaries of officials in the Great Chu Dynasty were generally low. If a large family like the Su family pointed to their salary and had to starve to death at least half of them.

Therefore, there are many shops under the name of the Su family, but the shops have been in a downturn in the past two years and their profits have dropped sharply.

Su Xiang was fined for three years' salary, and the other masters were not very good either. They were all dependent on their parents for the year of suspension, and basically all of them were almost done.

Now the Su family is short of money.

Since someone took the initiative to send money to the door, it was just a Pixiu, he just accepted it for the time being. When Lin Tudan left, he immediately took it out to exchange for money.

When the Pixiu moved into the door, Lin's father almost finished politely and went straight to the topic and asked why he didn't see his daughter in the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

Su Xiang couldn't say that he didn't know, so he told Lin's father that the Zhuangyuan Mansion had gone out a few days ago and Lin Xiaoyue went out to take refuge. He has not returned yet, so they are looking for him.

...

After Lin’s father left, the eldest grandmother asked Su Xiang: “Didn’t the prime minister say that he wanted to add a lot of fire to the Lin family? Why did he let the person go?”

Su Xiang wanted to tie Lin Tudan directly, but when he saw the Pixiu, he felt distressed.

Before Lin Tudan left Beijing, he was not able to move the Pixiu, so he only said calmly: "I have my own plans."

The big grandmother said suspiciously: "Cain Ye can't he start a business with their family?"

Otherwise, how long will it take for someone who gritted his teeth a few days ago to make the Lin family uneasy?

Su Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to her and left.

——

Lin’s father went to the top scholar’s ​​mansion, but he didn’t see Lin Xiaoyue, but Lin Xiaorou.

Looking at this concubine's daughter who was not worried about the safety of her elder sister, Lin's father looked a little dark, "Where is your sister?"

Lin Xiaorou woke up from a nap and was still sleepy. He couldn't help but yawn and said, "Go out to take refuge."

"Then why are you still at their house?"

Lin Xiaorou was excited for a moment and blurted out, "I want to leave, but Su..."

Halfway through his words, he reacted and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to look at Lin's father. He lowered his head and said in a faint voice: "The eldest sister is out, and the seventh master is not here. There must be a master in this mansion to watch it, otherwise what if the servants in the yard are lazy and slick?"

Lin’s father had no time to talk to her about these things, “Do you know where your elder sister went?”

Lin Xiaorou thought for a while and shook her head.

Lin's father asked several servants one after another, but he didn't know where Lin Xiaoyue had gone.

Lin's father made up his mind and said to the two servants: "If you can't find it again, go and pay me a lot of money to find someone."

He doesn't believe that there are still people who can't get along with money these days!
