Chapter 1204: Frustrated Man
Huaishu Hutong, Wu Mansion.
Since Wu Shan returned to the post of head of the household, it has been revitalized. Not to mention that the status of the Hubu Shangshu is prominent enough, and it is different from the general Hubu Shangshu, Wu Shan has a great chance of entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister.
This officialdom belongs not only to men, but also to women.
Although Wu Shan handled official business in the household yamen during the day, a group of ladies often came to visit Mrs. Wu, who had infinite scenery, making this house very lively.
Because of the good relationship between Guo Pu and Wu Shan, Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Wu are like sisters.
After learning about the major events that happened today, Mrs. Guo took a sedan chair to visit Mrs. Wu in Wu's mansion, and even called the wife of Zhao Shanran, the left deputy capital, and others.
Mrs. Guo has a strong figure and is considered a relatively strong woman, so she asked Mrs. Wu very gossipily: "How did Lord Wu know that Yan Ge Lao had fallen out of favor?" When I first learned the news that Master Wu's protΓ©gΓ© impeached Yan Ge Lao, I was taken aback, and I sweated for you! β
Following the group of officials in the capital, many people thought that Wu Shan was going to be unlucky when they learned that Zhang Wei impeached the Yan family's father and son. But no one thought that the emperor would take the opportunity to dispose of the Yan family's father and son.
"I'll tell you the truth, this was actually my son-in-law's idea, and it was he who instigated his fellow villager and the same year!" Mrs. Wu did not hide it, and said with a slight smile while holding the tea.
When Mrs. Guo heard this answer, although she actually had this kind of guess in her heart, she still opened her mouth in surprise when she learned the truth, and turned to look at Wu Qiuyu who was sitting on the side and said with emotion: "It is said that your father-in-law is Wen Kuixing, and the old man believes it this time!" β
Wu Qiuyu was also here, sitting at the end of the table as the wife of the three orders.
Although she is not prominent in this high-end circle, no one dares to underestimate her anymore. As Lin Haoran sat firmly in the position of Shuntianfu Yin, he was once picked off by Xu Jie, which made Wu Qiuyu's status rise.
Especially since she is already a third-grade lady at a young age, and Lin Haoran has such a huge potential, it is a sure thing that he will rise to the first-rank lady of the fate, and there will be at least a few decades of glory.
On the other hand, they have not been able to enjoy the scenery for too long, although many of them have won the second-grade Lady of Destiny.
is also the case, even Mrs. Guo, who thinks highly of herself, does not dare to despise Wu Qiuyu anymore, and there is a faint intention to win over.
"Aunt Guo, you praised it falsely!" Wu Qiuyu smiled lightly and responded modestly.
She originally liked to be quiet with her father, but people inevitably had some vanity. This Mrs. Lin's identity is already a head and face in the capital, and she has become the envy of many Mrs. Fate, which makes her willing to carry out various social activities.
"Mrs. Guo, don't be funny! If foolishness is really Wen Kui Xingjun, if he bullies my family Qiuyu in the future, I really don't dare to discipline him! Mrs. Wu was a cheerful person, and immediately joked.
Mrs. Zhao and the others knew that they were coming to accompany them, and they also covered their mouths and smiled very cooperatively, making the atmosphere here seem very relaxed and happy.
It was at this moment that a green-clothed girl walked lightly from outside and whispered in Wu Qiuyu's ear.
Mrs. Guo is a gossip person, guessing that something might have happened, so she tentatively asked, "Mrs. Lin, what happened?" Wouldn't it be to confirm that what the old man said was true? β
"Aunt Guo, you're laughing at me again!" Wu Qiuyu complained in a little woman's manner, and replied to satisfy Mrs. Guo's curiosity: "Aunt Guo, it's my father-in-law who has arrived!" As he spoke, he got up from his seat and saluted everyone: "Mother, Aunt Guo, ladies, the slave family will be with you first!" β
Mrs. Guo learned that Lin Haoran had arrived here, although she didn't know that Lin Haoran came from the Yan Mansion, but naturally she didn't have to pull Wu Qiuyu and let Wu Qiuyu leave.
Just watching Wu Qiuyu leave, Mrs. Guo and the others all showed envious eyes.
Lin Haoran entered the Wu Mansion and went straight to the back garden, directly to the pavilion. The futility of Yan Fu's return made him feel an unprecedented frustration.
"Xianggong, are you alright?"
Wu Qiuyu came to the pavilion, and saw that Lin Haoran's mental state was obviously not good, and immediately asked with great concern.
Lin Haoran raised his eyes to look at his wife, and said weakly: "Let's give my husband a cup of tea ginseng first!" β
Wu Qiuyu rarely saw Xiang Gong so depressed, and when he answered, he hurriedly ordered the accompanying Yahuan to go and make ginseng tea, and looked at Lin Haoran with concern.
Lin Haoran didn't hide it, and said directly to Wu Qiuyu: "Yan Song and Xu Jie should have formed a tacit understanding, I'm afraid there will be some trouble on our side, you ...... Let the husband be quiet! β
Wu Qiuyu likes Lin Haoran very much, and he doesn't like to hide things like his father, but will tell her directly. She knew that things were indeed extraordinary, and when she answered, when Yahuan sent the ginseng tea over, she put the ginseng tea on the table and left Lin Haoran alone.
Lin Haoran drank ginseng tea, but it was different from the usual sleepiness, this time it was physically and mentally exhausted. Although half a cup of ginseng tea was in the stomach, the whole person still felt a little decadent.
originally wanted to completely muddy the water in the capital, so that Yan Xu's two parties would fight, and he would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. found the right time, and he sent Wu Shan to the cabinet, and even helped Wu Shan seek the position of first assistant.
It's just that everything is whimsical by his self-proclaimed cleverness. Yan Song and Xu Jie's two old foxes did not intend to fight each other at all, but had reached a tacit understanding and planned to hand over the power baton peacefully.
He was as ridiculous as Pan An and wiser than Zhuge , but he was slapped hard by reality. His so-called strategic planning turned out to be in vain, and things have gone in a bad direction.
If Xu Jie sits firmly, then he and his father-in-law will probably bear the brunt. Although this father-in-law is not very favored, he is the most orthodox minister, and he has the highest prestige in today's officialdom.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Just when he was at a loss, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Lin Haoran heard this extremely familiar voice, raised his eyes and saw the tiger girl who suddenly appeared, and immediately asked suspiciously: "Tiger girl, why are you here?" β
The tiger girl was wearing a tight-fitting outfit, with a pair of bright big eyes, and an enviable good skin, and seemed to be a little taller, and replied crisply as a matter of course: "I happened to pass by this neighborhood, so come in and have a look!" β
Unlike Lin Haoran, who basically lives in the north of the city, since she was allowed to ride a horse, she has been running around the whole city of Beijing, and recently took a group of Xiao Xungui to hunt outside the city.
Come in and have a look?
The corners of Lin Haoran's mouth twitched slightly, half of his sons treated him as an outsider when he went to his father-in-law's house, but she regarded this place as her own home.
Hu Niu sat down opposite, stared at Lin Haoran's face and asked seriously, "Brother, aren't you happy?" β
"It's already written on the face!" Lin Haoran did not ease up from the blow, and pointed to his face and looked weak.
"Brother, I just bought something good, you will be happy after eating and keeping it!" The tiger girl looked confident, and out of nowhere, she conjured up something full of fragrance and placed it on the table.
Lin Haoran snorted coldly, looked at her with disdain, and said, "What did you do to your brother?" Foodie? β
