Early the next morning.
The main courtyard of Yanglinghou Mansion.
Mrs. Cui Tai wears a forehead embroidered with exquisite patterns of birds and animals, and her whole body can't be more luxurious.
"It's been ugly outside these few days. I heard from your father-in-law that brother Yun just received the imperial order to go to Hengzhou. Do you know about this?"
Cui Xuanshi nodded with a smile.
"He came forward this morning and raised his mouth when he greeted his daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Cui sighed after hearing this.
She put down the prayer beads in her hand and looked outside the house. The light outside was bright, but it couldn't illuminate the filth in the imperial city.
"Shu Yu."
"I always feel that your father-in-law and Brother Yun are hiding something."
Cui Xuanshi had a meal. Something flashed in her eyes, but it was so fast that people couldn't catch it.
"What does mother-in-law mean by that?"
Mrs. Cui Tai glanced at the woman beside her. The woman understood and hurriedly led a group of servants to retreat. When there were only two people left in the room, she said, "I'm afraid Brother Yun was responsible for the matter of Zou's residence."
"Don't worry, this is just my speculation."
"The officials ordered someone to investigate Zhou Zhangping's matter this time. I thought about it, even if Brother Yun found out and presented it to the officials. After the officials knew it well, they would just flip it over lightly, and then hand over the evidence. Destroy and protect those officials who are intriguing."
"This kind of thing is definitely not once or twice."
"Brother Yun deliberately avoided these things in the past. This time, he didn't use the excuse that Dali Temple was busy, but he personally proposed to investigate in Hengzhou. Why not blame it?"
You know, this kind of investigation has to be done in private.
I don't know how long to investigate in Hengzhou.
Mrs. Cui Tai is indeed right.
Emperor Xi, he wished he could catch his officials and various factions clearly. He could turn a blind eye and acquiesce in their actions, but he would never allow them to violate his majesty.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish.
But how can the water be clear?
Several officials in Hengzhou handed over memorials one after another to accuse Zhou Zhangping. Many officials in Shengjing also followed suit.
Then... whose interests did Zhou Zhangping move?
Emperor must know.
Cui Yun went to investigate this matter, and he was relieved.
The affairs between officials in Hengzhou in recent years must be investigated clearly.
Zhou Zhangping was the magistrate of Hengzhou, but he was put together by lowly officials, and there were also people from Shengjing to support him. It can be seen that this is a wall that could never be stronger. If Cui Yun went there as the Minister of Dali Temple, he had to be on guard most of all, and naturally he would not succeed. This is also the reason why only a few trustworthy ministers were left behind to give orders in private after Yu Dite went down to the early court.
As for the cause of Zhou Zhangping's death in prison, Xie Xun had just returned to Shengjing not long ago. This kind of person, the emperor is afraid that he will have full wings, but in the same way, it is best to use a sharp enough sword.
Xie Xun will never be afraid of the princelings and the four princelings and cheat. He has just taken office, so naturally he has to do a few beautiful things.
Emperor Xi wanted to see what he wanted to see, but he didn't know Zhou Zhangping was dead, and the matter of Hengzhou and the prison had already been clearly explained to Ji Zhuan.
As for Xie Xun and Cui Yun, it is true that they will not cheat out of fear of the majesty of the prince and the fourth prince. They will only deliberately plant and frame people and things together, and at the same time let Emperor Xie know that they want this dog What the emperor knows.
Hearing Mrs. Cui was worried, Cui Xuan couldn't help laughing.
"This time, Mrs. Shen is going back to Fengzhou, thinking that she can't get out of Dali Temple, so she will follow the official business to send someone back."
Mrs. Cui narrowed her eyes.
"go back?"
Cui Xuanshi said: "Our Lord Hou said, this time we will stop by Fengzhou City to kowtow to Mrs. Shen's biological mother. It should be true."
She also got to the point.
"The daughter-in-law is here to discuss marriage proposal with her mother-in-law."
"It stands to reason that this matter should be mentioned to the elders of Shen's parents, but Mrs. Shen's parents are deceased, but I thought that the etiquette that should be given must be indispensable. It is rare for the family to have a happy event, and it should be a big deal."
Mrs. Cui was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"You mean what you say."
"In these years, you have prepared the dowry early and waited for him to open up. There are also many rules for proposing marriage, three letters and six ceremonies, exchanging Geng Tie, and you have to ask for an auspicious time."
Cui Xuanshi took out something from his cuff.
Mrs. Cui took it over.
Above is a line of words.
—a good relationship and long-term relationship, matching the same name. Lifetime covenant, forever knot.
This is, good luck.
"Our Marquis, I can't wait. I have put Mrs. Shen's birthday horoscope together with my own, and after a lot of twists and turns, the Daoist Sanqing will do it."
Daoist Sanqing is not in Shengjing.
I'm afraid, after Cui Yun learned of his whereabouts, he sent a letter there early.
This back and forth, I don't know how long it took.
Cui Xuan's eyes were gentle.
At first she thought that Shen Wei had to be filial, but she also heard Cui Yun mention Shen Wei a little bit.
"He is in a hurry than us."
Mrs. Cui looked at the sixteen words carefully and nodded repeatedly.
"Since that's the case, it's not too late to propose marriage until they come back. You should spend more time these days."
As she spoke, she thought for a while.
"Do you still remember my cousin?"
Cui Xuanshi: "The one from Yangzhou?"
"That's right, she's getting old, and she's been looking forward to having a granddaughter all these years, but all her daughters-in-law give birth to a gentleman."
"If it's not up to me to decide, let Mrs. Shen go to find a relative at that time, and on the day of getting married, I will have my mother's family to send the marriage."
Cui Xuanshi was slightly surprised.
She knew the identity of the person from Yangzhou.
It means that there is no need to kneel down and salute in front of officials.
However, she remembered what Cui Yun said, and said quickly.
"It's still too early to get married, Mrs. Shen is still young, and it's not good for her health to become a bride early. Brother Yun is considerate and intends to keep her for a few more years, but now he just wants to settle the matter."
"As for the future sender, there are also candidates."
"who?"
"Xie Shizi."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fell silent.
Even if they don't know how Shen Wei got involved with Xie Xun, Cui Yun is a person with ideas, so naturally they won't play tricks on this matter.
Want to come and recognize your brother-in-law in private?
Xie Xun went to the east courtyard to see Shen Wei, and it was really hard work.
Mrs. Cui frowned, she was feeling uneasy.
Since this is the case, in the future, should I go to Fuguo Duke's Mansion to propose marriage?
How can the Marquis of Yangling marry with the Duke of Fuguo?
How can officials be happy to see this?
Cui Xuanshi naturally saw Mrs. Cui Tai's worry clearly, she held her breath for a moment, and then spoke softly.
"About the marriage proposal. My daughter-in-law will talk to the eldest son. Now that the relationship between the DPRK and China is tense, it is impossible to make a big deal, so the two governments can only exchange tokens in private."
After she left the main courtyard, she went back to check the dowry list.
Cui Xuanshi watched and closed his eyes in pain.
There is no rush to get married, but I don't know what the situation in Shengjing was like at that time.
So, Shen Wei was carried into the sedan chair by Xie Xun, and no one dared to say no.
Cui Xuanshi closed his eyes heavily.
Cui Yun would never choose Hengzhou only to send Shen Wei to Fengzhou alone.
It's him... Ben also planned to go to Hengzhou.
Yes.
Ji Tran is back.
