Chapter 392: Take everything the Queen and the others say seriously!
When Qi Wen and Qi Min got on their carriage.
Qi Min knelt down directly in front of Qi Wen.
There is no other reason.
Because Qi Min knew that he was afraid, that's why he asked for compensation, so he knelt down in front of his grandfather and said that he knew he was wrong.
Qi Wen looked at his grandson and laughed, "Stand up and sit down."
Qi Min looked at his grandfather: "Grandpa."
Seeing Qi Min didn't stand up, Qi Wen laughed and scolded, "Silly boy, do you really think that bringing you here to apologize will end this matter? Money is required for this matter. I didn't mention this matter at the beginning because Cui Yan wouldn't let me discuss it with him privately. And if you want to give money, you have to give it beautifully and at the right time. Give it to Cui Yan alone? Why should you give it? Can Cui Yan cause trouble to you? The only ones who can really cause trouble to you and our Qi family are His Majesty and the Empress. So the money must be given according to the occasion, otherwise it will be in vain. I was planning to talk about this matter in front of His Majesty, the Empress, and all the civil and military officials at the court meeting tomorrow. Then I will apologize for your crime, and then use this as an excuse to send the money away. In this way, I can shut up those censors and help you settle this matter."
"But today the Emperor and Empress came, so it was natural for me to say it. So, you did nothing wrong."
Qi Min listened to what his grandfather said, not quite understanding it.
Qi Wen also knew his grandson's strength, so he didn't get angry. He smiled and reached out to touch the slap mark on Qi Min's face, then said, "If it were your eldest sister, she would tell me that I beat him well now."
After that, he smiled and said, "I got beaten, but I paid the money, and you also gave this gift to Cui Yuer. Reputation doesn't matter. Anyway, you and Qi Liang don't have a good reputation to begin with. It's not worth much. If it's gone, it's gone. You can find a way to earn it back in the future."
Qi Min nodded. He understood what was said, which meant that the matter was over.
As for reputation.
Qi Min is now a joke outside, and he has long since let it go. As long as he doesn't become like Qi Liang, he will be relieved.
only
Qi Min looked at Qi Wen, "Grandpa, you were poisoned."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Wen looked at the sachet that he had brought out with him.
At this point, the sachet has been processed and is non-toxic.
Qi Wen asked back: "Qi Min, why do you think the emperor and the queen came to Cui's house today?"
Qi Min was stunned for a moment, then said: "Aren't you here to support that medical officer? If the emperor and the queen hadn't come, that medical officer would have quarreled with Mr. Cui."
Qi Wen glanced at Qi Min and shook his head: "Let me ask it another way. The medical officer is not on good terms with the Cui family and has never dealt with them. But he happened to come when we arrived at the Cui Mansion, and then His Majesty and the Queen also came."
Qi Min frowned when he heard this and glanced at the sachet: "Besides, the medical officer also found that you were raped..."
When he said this, Qi Min looked at Qi Wen in shock: "Grandpa, was it the Emperor who poisoned you and then let that medical officer find out? Otherwise, how could she have smelled it and..."
Bang!
Just as Qi Min said this, Qi Wen kicked him over: "Get lost! You asked the emperor to poison me, do you think an old man like me is worthy of this? The great roc soars to 90,000 miles, but it can't see the ants on the ground! You asked the emperor to poison me, an old man like me, I am a person in front of the people of the world, but in front of the emperor now, I am nothing!"
"If you want to kill me, do you need such a sophisticated method? Just send an expert and kill me directly. Who can find out that it was the emperor who did it? You can imagine that the emperor poisoned me. Fortunately, it is not your turn to take over the Qi family, otherwise I don't know how I would be gone!"
Although he was scolding her, Qi Wen did not show any anger or disgust when he looked at Qi Min.
Not for anything else, just because this grandson is obedient!
Do whatever you are told to do, and don't touch anything you are not told to do.
Although he does have some flaws, he just likes to go to brothels. He is not like Qi Liang who causes trouble.
Qi Min got up and looked at Qi Wen aggrievedly: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the emperor poisoned you and let his men find out. And didn't the emperor say in the end that he would send someone to investigate? Obviously, she didn't have to say anything about this matter. She just told us to investigate it ourselves. So I wondered if the emperor was deliberately doing us a favor and letting us submit to her and help her deal with the southern families. "
Qi Wen laughed, "Not bad, you know how to use your brain, but although it is possible, it's not something the emperor would do. Although we are cleaner than the Ouyang family, the Zuo family and those other families, the emperor would not do such a complicated bribery method."
Qi Min frowned when he heard this. He couldn't understand why the emperor and the queen came here that day, because if he thought in this way, he would really be supporting the medical officer.
but.
Thinking about poisoning.
Qi Min frowned slightly.
I went to Cui's house with my grandfather, and the doctor who had a bad relationship with Cui's family happened to be there, and he found the poison. Then the emperor and the queen came.
Qi Min didn't actually have too many thoughts at first. She just thought that the cat happened to come and saved her grandfather, and that the emperor and the queen came just to support the cat.
But after listening to Qi Wen's words, I felt that something was wrong no matter how I thought about it!
After all, it doesn't seem right no matter how I think about it!
But looking at his grandfather, Qi Min still asked: "Grandpa, if these are unrelated, then who poisoned him?"
At this point, Qi Min looked at his grandfather and said, "Then it must be that the people who sent this thing poisoned it, or they were all involved."
Qi Wen was about to speak.
The carriage suddenly stopped.
Just when Qi Wen was about to ask what happened.
He saw his eldest granddaughter and his most proud granddaughter Qi Qi getting on the carriage.
Seeing Qi Qi, Qi Wen was a little surprised, but smiled: "Why are you here?"
Qi Qi immediately smiled and said, "I was worried about you, so I came here to wait for you."
As he spoke, Qi Qi noticed the slap mark on Qi Min's face and immediately frowned: "What's wrong with your face?"
Qi Min glanced at Qi Wen, and when he nodded, he told Qi Qi what had happened.
After hearing this, Qi Qi looked at his grandfather and said immediately: "Well done!"
But after saying that, he immediately thought about it and complained: "Grandpa, why didn't you kick me a few more times? It would be better to use something at hand to hit me hard. It's okay if blood is seen. I just want to show it to the Cui family."
Qi Wen laughed when he heard this. It was no wonder that his granddaughter was like this!
Qi Min looked at her elder sister, not knowing what to say, but when she thought about what her grandfather had just said and her elder sister, she really cheered.
Qi Wen said, "Before we could continue, the Queen's medical officer came and watched a big show."
Qi Qi was stunned for a moment and looked at Qi Wen in surprise.
While Qi Min was thinking about his grandfather being poisoned, he looked at Qi Wen.
Qi Wen nodded: "Go ahead."
Qi Min nodded immediately and told him everything that had just happened.
When Qi Qi heard that Qi Wen was poisoned, he immediately looked at Qi Wen with concern.
But before he could speak, Qi Wen said, "It's OK. After all, I just got it last night, and the doctor also said that it's not poisoned. I can ask Mr. Liu to come and help me take a look after I go back."
Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but he still looked carefully at his grandfather's face to make sure that he was fine. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. But after thinking about it, he looked at Qi Min and said, "Let's go home first. Let Mr. Liu wait for us. Then tell my father that grandpa is not feeling well, but don't tell anyone about the poisoning."
Qi Min was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, "When you want me to go home, just tell me and I'll run back."
This is the good thing about Qi Min, and it is also this reason that Qi Wen, Qi Qi and others treat him particularly well. If anything happens, they are willing to protect him.
Stupid, but obedient! And never ask too many questions!
Qi Qi watched Qi Min nod, then looked at his grandfather: "Are you really not feeling unwell?"
Qi Wen nodded: "According to the medical officer, it is a chronic poison that can kill people, but it needs to be treated slowly. In just one day, it won't cause poisoning."
Qi Qi was really relieved, and then said: "The person who poisoned you will definitely come to see you, so you just need to pretend to be a little uncomfortable. However, this thing has passed through too many hands, so it will be a bit troublesome to check it, and it will take some effort."
Qi Min heard Qi Qi's words and immediately said, "Sister, Her Majesty said she would send someone to investigate this matter."
Qi Qi was surprised when he heard this: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty knows about this?"
After all, he immediately became concerned about his grandfather's health when he heard that Maomao had discovered the poison, so he didn't know that Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang had come to Cui's house.
Qi Min did not waste any time and immediately continued to explain what happened next in detail.
After listening to this, Qi Qi looked at Qi Wen, hesitated, and his eyes flickered as he fell into deep thought.
After a short while, Qi Qi looked at Qi Wen and said, "Grandpa, in addition to the gifts for the Cui family and the money donated to Mr. Cui and Mu Jijiu to build the school, we have to give money to His Majesty."
Qi Min looked at her elder sister in surprise, what does it mean? Why did she send money to His Majesty again?
And how can we talk about sending money to His Majesty!
Qi Wen looked at Qi Qi and said with a smile: "Tell me in detail."
Qi Qi said, "If there is no modification to what Xiao Min just said, I think His Majesty and the Queen came to the Cui family today just to give our Qi family a chance."
"I'm not talking about winning us over. If she had tried to win us over a few months ago, it would have been possible, but the emperor is no longer the same as before. With the power she has secretly accumulated over the past three years and the power that originally belonged to her, our Qi family is nothing in her eyes now. At most, we have some money."
"So, the opportunity here should be a chance for us to learn from Taifu and the Yang family."
"Today you and Xiao Min went to the Cui family to resolve the conflict, but the female doctor suddenly appeared, followed by the emperor. Moreover, the queen just arrived and immediately asked you why you were here. So I thought, the implication is that you are here to help solve this matter. Then see our "sincerity". And then you mentioned donating money, and Xiao Min mentioned giving gifts, and the two nobles should be satisfied."
"But here, there is an additional incident that you were poisoned. The medical officer named Maomao who saved you should be a coincidence. I have heard about this medical officer. It is said that even Dr. Zhang praised her highly. She is gifted in the study of medicinal materials. So, it should be a coincidence, but this has helped the emperor invisibly. After all, the emperor came to give us a chance. This incident also gave the emperor a reason to let us learn from the Taifu and others to buy our lives with money."
"And the emperor said he would personally send someone to investigate this matter. In other words, is he also telling you that your life is under the protection of His Majesty?"
Qi Wen listened and rubbed Qi Qi's head: "It's worth it that I sent you to study with your [Miscellaneous] teacher."
Qi Qi smiled, then looked at Qi Wen: "But, Grandpa, I think this is a real opportunity for us. Although it is very annoying that you were poisoned, the fact that the medical officer found you and saved you is the opportunity you have been waiting for."
Qi Wen said with a smile: "So, I didn't care about the poisoning this time. I was even happy that someone poisoned me! If I had known that the emperor would come to the Cui family today, I would have poisoned myself, not to mention them."
But after saying this: "It's a good thing to have a reason to give money. Think about how much to give and how to give it. There must be a limit to it."
Qi Qi nodded.
And Wen Qi glanced at the empty sachet on Dian Jiangchun's hand and said, "Those people want to continue to pretend to obey and secretly disobey, thinking of uniting to fight against the emperor. Although I understand that they are desperate, but if they want to drag our Qi family with them, screw them! The old man is not stupid. Although His Majesty is not as decisive as the previous emperor in killing people, has he ever been soft-handed when he really ordered the killing? Those stupid people, they want to attack me, just to kill me who gave money to compromise before, and then the Qi family will only have you left, and then use some means to pull you to their side to fight against the emperor together."
"But I didn't expect that God would not let me go. The poison was discovered by the people around the queen. Good, good. Now it's a good opportunity for us to learn from Yang Shanchang."
Hearing Qi Wen's words, Qi Qi shook his head and said, "Grandpa, we have to learn from the Taifu family to buy lives with money, but we can't really learn everything. And since those people can't stand us compromising with His Majesty, we have to compromise a little more. Giving money openly is naturally a bit too direct, but Su Liheng can help."
Qi Wen smiled and said, "Haste makes waste. Some things should be done step by step. It's not good to be too impatient. And I have another question for you."
Qi Qi looked at Qi Wen.
Qi Wen asked: "What if we guessed wrong? What if it's all just a coincidence? Everything we thought was wrong."
Qi Qi thought for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and looked at Qi Wen: "There is no such thing as a coincidence, and there is no such thing as a mistake, because we just don't treat it as a coincidence. For the Qi family to continue, we can't treat it as a coincidence either."
Qi Wen smiled even more happily.
My granddaughter is not as knowledgeable as Su Linhan, Cui Yuer, Gu Chiyu and others.
After all, I had never thought of cultivating these in her, so I sent her directly to the [Miscellaneous School] among the Hundred Schools of Thought to learn how to be a human being and how to be an official since she was a child.
Now it seems
It’s not in vain!
Qi Min blinked and looked at Qi Wen and Qi Qi, speaking reasonably.
He didn't understand at all!
But it feels like.
I don't know why it's so impressive!
Qi Qi looked at Qi Wen, thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, your granddaughter has thought of something."
Qi Wen looked at Qi Qi and said, "Speak."
Qi Qi said, "I want to go to Yan. I feel that if I take money and become an official in Yan, I can better protect our family."
…
In recent days, there have been many officials in the Su Mansion who have been dealing with personal relationships.
But most of them are the same people who come here every year, so there is nothing to be shy about.
However, the current Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wei Jiu, came to the Su Mansion today after many years.
Came to the courtyard of Old Master Su.
Wei Jiu saw Su Wenqing playing chess with Su Zimu, and immediately stepped forward to greet them: "Teacher, Senior Brother."
Su Wenqing saw Wei Jiu and said with a smile: "I knew you were coming, so I was waiting for you."
Wei Jiu stepped forward immediately.
Su Zimu looked at Wei Jiu, poured some tea, and then took the chessboard away.
Wei Jiu thanked him and then sat down.
But when I sat down, I saw a list on the table.
Su Wenqing was not shy about it and said with a smile, "For your majesty, these are some young people of the younger generation who are worth paying attention to. Old man Mu Xu dragged his feet and finally discussed these people with me. After the rest period, they will be sent to your majesty."
Hearing this, Wei Jiu immediately avoided his gaze and dared not to look.
Su Wenqing laughed and scolded when he saw this: "After being sent out for two years, he has become more sensible than before. But I dare to put him away, so it's nothing. Just watch him. Besides, now you are the Minister of Personnel, and you must pay attention to these people."
As he said that, he handed the list to Wei Jiu.
Wei Jiu was stunned for a moment, then looked down.
Yan Shu, Zuo Shaoweng, Lu Xiufu, Gao Bing, Liu Xuan, Wei Zijian, Gu Chiyu, Cui Yuer. Qi Qi, Zuo Cunxu, An Kui.
There are dozens of names in total.
And at the end, there are a few names written separately, Ma Situi, Zhao Dong, He Min
Some of these people even had marks on their backs.
Looking at the list, Wei Jiu couldn't help but frowned: "Teacher, these few people here."
Wei Jiu placed his hands on Qi Qi, Zuo Cunxu and others.
Qi Qi, Zuo Cunxu and others all have marks after their names, just like Yan Shu.
Su Wenqing saw it and immediately realized what Wei Jiu meant, so he smiled and said, "Write down these children from the southern families first. As for whether they can survive and how to survive, it depends on their abilities. And don't underestimate these people. Qi Qi is a student of Shi Yang, the current representative of the Zajia family. She is very capable. Now old man Qi Wen listens to this girl on many matters."
Wei Jiu was surprised for a moment, then looked at the last few people.
Su Wenqing smiled and said, "Mu Xu recommended them, especially this Ma Situi. It was this person who was involved in the story of the Empress's poem about red leaves in Qingquan Palace. He failed the exam thirteen times, but Mu Xu recommended him. Do you know what Mu Xu said about him?"
Wei Jiu looked at Su Wenqing.
Su Wenqing smiled and said, "He is a talent of a prime minister. It is said that he reads every examination paper. He is very capable."
Wei Jiu was surprised.
Su Wenqing smiled and said, "Anyway, let's wait and see. His Majesty also has to watch over them. After all, they are just kids, still young. They have no talent for being prime ministers. We have to wait and see if they can survive. There are dozens of people on the list, and after a few decades, who knows how many of them will be left."
After saying that, Su Wenqing looked at Su Zimu and said, "Go get that rice porridge pot and talk about something else. We don't want to talk about this on our day off."
After saying that, he looked at Wei Jiu and said, "The recipe sent by the Queen says that rice porridge should be used as the base for hot pot. I have never heard of it, but I smelled it and it smells delicious! So I waited for you to come and eat with me."
Having said this, Su Wenqing put the list aside.
Although he said it lightly, Su Wenqing was very cautious when holding the list.
Not because of anything else.
Just because of this list, it can be said to be the future of Daxia.
…
The snow had stopped at night.
Of course, Su Changan and the others had returned long ago.
but
Yan Yunxiao was also present in Lingqi Pavilion.
Because the sword was forged, it was specially sent to Su Changan.
