Chapter 560: The Right Door for the Right Family (Happy New Year’s Day)

“Speaking of which, the Xu family was a big family back then.”

Chief Minister Wang let out a sigh of emotion for no reason.

Xu New Year’s eyes jumped, and after a moment of silence, he said, “How does the court intend to resolve the matter over in Yunzhou?”

After Emperor Yuan Jing’s ambush, two volumes were classified as secret and sealed in the secret room of the cabinet.

One of the copies was accessible only to powerful officials of the third grade and above, as well as to university scholars.

The content of the dossier is that Xu Pingfeng, the scout and the second disciple of the Supervisor of the year, colluded with the legacy of the royal family five hundred years ago, established a base in Yunzhou, developed in secret, and attempted to plot a rebellion.

Old events were revisited, such as the case of the former Qi Party colluding with the Witch God Cult to support the mountain bandits in Yunzhou, and the incident of the smuggling of iron ore from Yuzhou to Yunzhou caused by the sale of government offices by Emperor Yuan Jing, and so on.

Today, the night watchman, the royal historian, and the Da Lisi are secretly scrutinizing all the capital officials to screen for possible spies.

Officials from all over the world have likewise been subjected to undercover investigations.

The other dossier records the truth that Emperor Yuan Jing, King Zhenbei and Emperor Zhende are the same person.

This dossier is not public and very few people know about it.

The Crown Prince, oh no, Emperor Yongxing intends to pass on this secret as a family secret.

“Has let Qingzhou and Yongzhou borders laid out defenses, the court even issued several holy edicts to Yunzhou, requiring Yunzhou capital commander Yang Chuannan to return to the capital to report to his duties, but nowhere to be found.”

Chief Minister Wang said in a deep voice:

“Yunzhou has not yet rebelled, but it’s only a matter of time. The robbers’ undercover agents in Yunzhou are still there, and the Yunzhou army and officialdom have not moved for the time being. But the court has lost control over them.

“Your eldest uncle has been operating in Yunzhou for many years, his layout is far-reaching.”

Xu New Year frowned, “So the court means to wait and see what happens?”

Head Minister Wang nodded, “His Majesty intends to crusade against the remnants of the imperial family from five hundred years ago in the coming fall. But before that, Yunzhou may rise up first, and the court is ready for it.”

Xu New Year understood, “So the treasury has no extra money or grain to provide disaster relief.”

Chief Wang was silent.

………..

There was a moment of silence in the large, spacious room.

The second sister-in-law, Zhao Yurong, cleared her throat and said in a tone of giving her child a science education:

“Miss’er, the charcoal in your house is different from the charcoal here, this is the Imperial Beast Gold Charcoal, which can only be used in the Imperial Palace.”

In fact, with today’s Da Bong’s style of corruption, there are many behaviors of selling beast gold charcoal in the black market, and dignitaries have this kind of charcoal in their homes to a greater or lesser extent, but they usually don’t take it out and use it when they are treating guests.

It’s all a sneaky treat.

Only those who were rewarded like the Wang family used it in a dignified manner.

Sister-in-law Li Xianghan twisted up a piece of candied fruit and put it in her mouth, looking at Xu Lingyue who was diagonally across from her, and laughed:

“It’s all family, let the underlings pack two pounds of beast gold charcoal later, so it’s not a rare thing.”

This sentence reveals the message that although it is a reward from the emperor, it is nothing to the Wang family.

The top gentry fingers though leak a little something, all of which the ordinary people can never enjoy in their lifetime.

Mrs. Wang smiled as she drank her cup of tea, and she needed her two daughters-in-law to “show off” the Wang family’s heritage, so as to set off her daughter’s gold and jade leaves.

Xu Lingyue said in a thin voice, “Thank you, sister-in-law, but there are sixty pounds of beastly gold charcoal in the house, so this winter, I think it will be enough.”

Her voice was soft, her expression sincere, and she couldn’t see that she was showing off.

The room was violently quiet, and the faces of several of the women in the Wang family turned odd, and the snobbish sister-in-law asked in a low voice:

“Bought on the black market, huh? Sixty pounds, how much silver does that cost ……..”

Mrs. Wang coughed and stopped her eldest daughter-in-law’s inquiries with a look and said lightly:

“Ling Yue, beast gold charcoal is something used by the imperial court, although many large families secretly buy it for use. But this kind of thing is only done and not spoken of. If it gets out, the palace will be condemned. In the future, ah, don’t talk about it outside, understand.”

Mrs. Wang’s words were not a euphemism, they were a serious admonition.

This Xu family is also too bold, sixty pounds of beast gold charcoal is not a small amount, which can be bought so, on the basis of Xu family is the new nobility, will be so inflated, the future is afraid of a bad thing will be bad relatives ……..

The second sister-in-law’s father served in the Da Lisi and was particularly sensitive to this aspect.

In the capital, new noblemen like these who are so smug after gaining power that they are floating on their feet often don’t end up too well.

Xu Lingyue shook her head and innocently said, “It was rewarded by Princess Huaiqing and Princess Lin’an.”

? Mrs. Wang was visibly stunned and quickly regained her composure without speaking.

Sister-in-law was surprised, “The two princesses rewarded you?”

The bewilderment in her and her second sister-in-law’s eyes was undisguised, as the wives of a powerful family who lived deep in the compound, they were blocked from the outside world and only knew that the Xu family’s Dailang was very powerful, but the details of the various aspects of the matter were not clear.

For example, the Xu family dalang is a slave of three families, two of which, one of which is the eldest daughter of the Emperor, who is a great talent of the Dafeng, and one of which was once the most favored of the Linan.

Xu Lingyue explained, “The two princesses are looking at their big brother’s face, which is why they are taking more care of the Xu family.”

Xu Daolang ah ……….

I don’t know if it was because they remembered the legend of Xu Dalang, but the two sister-in-laws were instantly much more polite, and the smiles on their faces warmed up.

Mrs. Wang’s face was solemn as she said, “I heard Simu say that Xu Yinluo is no longer in the capital?”

“Big brother went out on a trip.” Xu Lingyue replied.

In the ensuing conversation, the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law kept “showing off their wealth”, always showing the superiority of the big family without fail, so as to highlight the Wang family’s eminence.

Sister-in-law said, “Erlang serves in the Hanlin Academy, and although he is a top nobleman, he doesn’t have much real power. When the marriage is consummated, ah, strive to be expatriated after the New Year.”

Xu Lingyue said, “Before big brother left, he had already made arrangements for second brother.”

Second sister-in-law said, “Erlang came from Yunlu Academy and is highly talented, it’s just that it’s the practice of favors in the official world that is the article, and favors are piled up with silver. But it doesn’t matter, these things, the eunuch must have already arranged them.”

Xu Ling Yue said, “The house also has the chicken essence workshop left behind by big brother as part of the dividend, a good ten thousand taels of income every year.”

Sister-in-law said, “Sister is not yet married, right? Sister-in-law will introduce you to some young handsome men of top family and talent.”

Xu Lingyue said, “Thank you sister-in-law, having half the skills of big brother is enough.”

Sister-in-Law: “……..”

After a battle, sister-in-law and sister-in-law were defeated.

They suddenly realized that in many aspects, such as wealth, connections, and family prominence, the Wang family didn’t seem to have much of an advantage in front of the Xu family?

The sense of superiority was suddenly gone.

Stupid …….. Wang Simu secretly shook his head.

Both sister-in-laws had been brought up to speed by Xu Ling Yue, and whenever they showed their superiority, Xu Ling Yue moved out Xu Qi An, clearly comparing the overall strength of the Wang and Xu families.

Hardly was this outwardly harmless Xu Ling Yue turned into a comparison between the Wang family and Xu Qi’an.

Comparable?

The two sisters-in-law were confused by Xu Ling Yue’s appearance, thinking that they had the big picture in hand and had no problems, and one after another, they were speechless because the Wang family was really no match for the Xu family.

That’s when the sound of silvery laughter came from outside the house.

In a moment, a pair of children ran in, a boy and a girl.

The boy was a tiger, wearing a brocade jacket with a fox fur hat and slightly tanned skin, about ten years old.

The girl, on the other hand, was born pink and lovely, round face, big eyes, at first glance is a beauty embryo, about seven years old.

“Grandma!”

The two children collected their smiles and said respectfully.

“It’s Hao’er and Butterfly Sister coming.”

A smile appeared on Mrs. Wang’s face as she greeted the pair of children to her side.

Wang Simu took the opportunity to introduce, “These are my big brother’s sons and daughters.”

Xu Lingyue nodded.

The two children sat down beside Mrs. Wang, and the girl’s ebony gaze surveyed the chubby child of her age.

The boy was also scrutinizing the strange little girl.

Sister-in-law’s eyes lit up and she let out an “oops” and said unhappily, “Hao’er, Die’er, quickly greet your sister.”

The two children immediately greeted Xu Lingyin.

Xu Suoyin concentrated on eating the pastries, dried fruits and preserves, immersed in her own world.

Nerdy and gluttonous …….. The two sisters-in-law secretly shook their heads.

Mrs. Wang’s face had a few smiles on it.

Sister-in-law smiled and asked, “I haven’t asked yet, has Suzaku-sama-chan been enlightened.”

Xu Lingyue shook her head and said softly, “Not yet, Suzume is stupid in the head, she doesn’t even know how to memorize the Three Character Classic, so it’s useless to send her to the academy.”

The smile on his sister-in-law’s face grew more pronounced:

“This can’t be done, although we women don’t need to take the examination for merit, but we need to be proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. I think we can send Sister Suzume to our Wang family’s private school.”

Mrs. Wang nodded, pleasantly, “There are also two days a month to go to the palace to study with the Emperor’s son and listen to the Tai Fu’s teachings.”

“Ahem ……”

Wang Simu choked on the tea and coughed up tears.

“What’s wrong?” Mrs. Wang looked at her daughter.

“Mr. Zhang and Tai Fu at home are old …….” Wang Simu said softly.

So, Mother, just let them go.

“Yeah!”

Xu Lingyue smiled sweetly, “Many thanks, Mrs. Wang.”

After a pause, Xu Lingyue said, “Actually, Suzumi has been practicing martial arts lately, so she has wasted her schoolwork, and I also think that she should read and recognize more words.”

“Practicing martial arts, huh?”

A room full of women showed “this is very vulgar” expression, martial arts is already vulgar, women learn martial arts, vulgar of vulgar.

The dark-skinned Wang Hao’s eyes lit up as he stood up and glared at Xu Lingyin, saying:

“Do you practice martial arts too? Let’s compare notes.”

The boy’s proposal was immediately rejected by his mother, and his sister-in-law reprimanded, “Cut the nonsense, you’re nice and good, Suzume-sama-chan is not like you, you’re not bullying her.”

Turning to Xu Ling Yue, she said, “Hao’er’s roots are good, the guest secretary of the residence praised him as a good seedling, so he took him as a disciple, and the eunuch also said that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, which is a good thing. Hao’er will, in the future, be considered both a scholar and a martial artist.”

The tone was quite proud.

Xu Lingyue lowered her head, “My sister only has one force.”

A very inferior look.

Wang Hao could not find a rival of the same age on weekdays, so it was not easy to see one, and he was on fire:

“Grandmother, I have my measure, let me compete with her, if you are afraid I will hurt her, you can ask the guards to watch over her.”

Mrs. Wang still felt it wasn’t quite right, and was just about to refuse when she heard Xu Lingyue say, “Alright.”

Hm? Mrs. Wang gave her a look and had to say, “That’s fine.”

Immediately, the maid was told to go and call for a guard.

Wang Hao and Xu Lingyin, on the other hand, went out of the house to the courtyard.

Xu Lingyue, Wang Simu, the two sisters-in-law, and Mrs. Wang, clad in their cloaks, stood under the eaves of the house and watched.

The middle-aged guard pressed his sword with one hand, scrutinized the two children, and said, “Before the match, let me check your chi.”

Said the man, pointing to a stone bench off to the side, “Move the bench.”

Little children playing house, for him, there is no such thing as a sword. But to be on the safe side, it was better to try the strength first.

If the difference is too great, the contest is unnecessary.

Wang Hao took the lead and walked towards the stone table, leaned down, and hugged the stone stool beside the table with a loud cry.

His little face was suffocated red, his forehead veins bulged, and he walked ten steps before he exhausted himself, and during the process, Mrs. Wang kept shouting from the side:

“Slow down, walk slower …….”

The second sister-in-law complimented, “Hao’er is good at this.”

Sister-in-law smiled broadly, ouch, “Actually it’s better to read, alas, originally did not want him to practice martial arts, really Hao’er root bone is too good.”

Sister-in-law’s untutored Versailles odyssey.

The middle-aged guards exclaimed, “Young master has a great future ahead of him.”

He then looked at Xu Lingyin, “There’s no need to force it.”

Xu Lingyin finally finished the handful of preserves in her hand, licked her palm, and walked towards the stone table under the gaze of the crowd.

She reached out and grabbed the edge of the stone table.

The middle-aged guard just wanted to say “not this”, but suddenly his eyes rounded, only to see the stone table like a weightless hair, was grabbed by this little girl with one hand and lifted to the top of his head.

Raised above the head ……..

One Hand ………

The scene was dead silent for a moment.

Sister-in-law’s eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly, and her body stiffened as if she had suffered an unbearable shock.

Mrs. Wang moved.

The young teenager of the Wang family was confused.

Bang!

Xu Lingyin threw the stone table back into place and looked nervously at her sister, “Can we fight now.”

You have to keep going back for more after the fight.

“No!”

“No contest!”

Mrs. Wang and her sister-in-law screamed out at the same time.

At this time, Xu Lingyue was still in that small, harmless look of inferiority:

“Suzume can’t do anything but be a force of nature, and big brother doesn’t think she’s qualified either.”

Her sister-in-law stared at her blankly, her lips moving, unable to speak.

This ……… Mrs. Wang and the second sister in law also have no sound.

………..

Xu New Year had lunch at the mansion, and after saying goodbye to the head minister Wang, he went to the backyard, and saw his two sisters waiting at the entrance of the inner hall, and the servants who followed him from the mansion holding a large pile of gift boxes, which were gifts from the Wang family.

He did not enter the inner hall and stood at a distance with a slight nod, waiting for his sisters to come over with their servants and the three siblings to leave the royal residence.

Entering the carriage, wheels clattering, Xu New Year glanced at his sister and said:

“How does it feel?”

Xu Lingyue laughed, “Not bad, Sister Simu listens to the rules.”

Talking about rules? Xu New Year gave her a bewildered look.

Xu Lingyue smiled sweetly.

She still had some regrets, it would have been more interesting if Wang Simu had come down to fight.

………..

When Xu Xinxin left, Chief Minister Wang drank a cup of tea alone and went to the inner hall.

The atmosphere here was a bit gloomy, with his hairy wife, Mrs. Wang, his two daughters-in-law, and his daughter, Wang Simu, sitting in silence.

The daughter is fine, his wife Mrs. Wang is full of gravity, and the two daughters-in-law can not hide their frustration and loss.

Chief Minister Wang said faintly, “Had a bad time?”

The two daughters-in-law didn’t say anything.

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment and said, “Master, I just think that it’s not too high of a climb for the Xu family to tie the knot with us.”

Sister-in-law nodded repeatedly, “Yeah, yeah.”

She wanted to send Hao’er to the Xu Mansion to learn martial arts.

The second sister-in-law lamented, “Simu marrying Erlang is the right match for the family.”

She would have to pay more attention to the Xu family in the future, and she quietly put away her superiority complex.

Wang Simu suddenly said, “Father, sister-in-law promised the Xu family’s young lady child to come to the residence to study.”

Chancellor Wang asked rhetorically, “What’s the problem?”

There is no need to consult him on such trivial matters.

Wang Simu said quietly, “If you promise to go out and back out, let big brother go to the Xu Mansion himself to say so. I’m not going to be the villain.”

Chief Minister Wang waved his hand, “It’s just a small matter.”

At this time, Wang Shoufu has not realized the seriousness of the matter …….. He was even more surprised why the female members of the family suddenly looked like they had lost the battle and had no fighting spirit of frustration.

…………

Returning to the Xu Mansion, Xu Lingyin pinned her hands to either side of her back, unfolded them, and charged prone, seeking out her master, Lina, to share with her the delicacies she had eaten at the royal mansion.

Xu Lingyue went to the east room and reported to her mother.

When the aunt saw her daughter return, she asked, “Have you been bullied? Is the royal family looking down on people? Have you been wronged?”

Xu Lingyue shook her head, “No matter, Mrs. Wang and the two sister-in-laws are very polite.”

The aunt didn’t believe me and poked her daughter’s forehead, “You girl, even if you’re bullied, you’ll still die enduring it.”

He said, greeting his daughter and sitting down at the table, speaking in a serious tone:

“Tell me what happened in the Wang family, and Mother will analyze it for you, what didn’t go well, and what should be done in response.

“As for you, just memorize it, and when you get married, use what your mother taught you to deal with your mother-in-law.”

Xu Lingyue nodded her head obediently, “Then was Mother doing the same to Grandmother back then.”

The aunt bristled, “Have you forgotten? Your grandmother passed away before I married your father.”

Xu Lingyue sighed, “Mother, you have a good life.”

…………

Xiangzhou, Chai Mansion.

Vajra Dunan, who was eight feet tall and wore a red and yellow robe, came outside the center door.

“I’m sorry to trouble the monks to inform them that the poor monk is in trouble.”

The stout monk folded his arms.

At this time, the Du Nhan Vajra, converged all the breath, except for the iron tower-like body, no different from ordinary people, the ring of fire at the back of the head also converged.

The concierge glanced at the large man in horror and said in a trembling voice, “Da, master wait a moment …….”
