Chapter 372 Seeing Mrs. Xi
"As it should be, if you need any help, just come to Zhen Guo Gongfu!" The Yang family believed in Lin Shuran. Although her father Lin Youxing did not clearly express his position, both the Lin family and the Wen family have always been loyal to the emperor. Not to mention that there is still Concubine Yun in the palace, now they must help the emperor get through this hurdle.

Lin Shuran took the children back home after having lunch at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, but when they returned home, Lei Haobo and Du Yuan insisted on going with them. They were reluctant to part with their little sister Xu Manman, so Lei Yingying went with them again The general's mansion.

When they arrived at the General's Mansion, Lei Yingying asked Chen Jiayu to be picked up again, and the three sisters sat in the room and talked.

"Sister Ran, you can just ask Sister Jiayu about the affairs of the wives in the capital, she knows it very well!" Lei Yingying raised her eyebrows, looked at Lin Shuran and said with a deep smile.

Chen Jiayu still didn't understand why, so she asked suspiciously: "What's going on? Why do you want to ask the wives of each family?"

Now that Chen Jiayu is no longer the concubine of Prince Jin's Mansion, and has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Shuran didn't want her to be involved in these disputes, but Lei Yingying quickly told Chen Jiayu the truth, and Chen Jiayu also agreed after hearing this. I fell into deep thought.

"Sister Jiayu, you don't have to pay attention to what Yingying said, let alone get involved!" Lin Shuran originally planned to figure out the relationship between the various prefectures in the capital before deciding what to do next, so Yang asked her to help It sounds simple, but there are too many things and interests to consider behind it, and it is not a very easy task to complete.

Chen Jiayu raised her head and smiled slightly, and said: "I can't help you much, but I can draw a picture for you, I hope it can help you, and tell me as soon as possible when you need my help. In addition, you can also Find someone, she should be able to help you!"

"Who?" Lin Shuran and Lei Yingying looked at Chen Jiayu at the same time and asked.

"The owner of the Liangyuan Pavilion, Mrs. Xi, the wife of the third-rank general inspector of the general inspection department!" Chen Jiayu was able to enter Prince Jin's mansion back then. The Xi family also helped. Don't look at her as the wife of a third-rank official. It's not just the young men and women holding the two ends of the red line, they also know a lot about their families.

Not long after Chen Jiayu went back, someone sent Lin Shuran a blueprint. This paper listed the powerful and powerful families and mansions in the capital. , but there are only a few companies that really have an impact on the situation, and the others are just vassals.

With this picture of Chen Jiayu, it is like knowing the trunk of the tree clearly. As long as you grasp the trunk, other branches and leaves will naturally swing along.

The lower end of this picture is naturally the imperial palace, and the most powerful under the imperial palace are the Dingyuanhoufu and Zhenguogongfu, and then there are the aristocratic families and civil and military officials. The reason why the Dingyuanhoufu is so powerful is that Because the Wei family was originally from an aristocratic family, and the Yuan family, the mother family of the Yuan family, was equally powerful. There were two major clans behind them, and the queen backed them in the palace. Naturally, no one dared to provoke them.

Not only that, Lin Shuran also learned from Xu Junze that the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion has always been very close to the military officer. Only with the support of these generals was it successful.

At that time, Hou Dingyuan Wei Qianjie thought that the queen mother and Zhao You's mother and son were weak and easy to control, so he supported Zhao You as emperor, but he didn't expect that the little emperor looked young and immature but had a lot of eyes, and gradually cultivated his own influence. His wings hardened under his nose, and he dared to confront him.

In the capital today, besides Xu Junze, who represents the emperor, commanding one hundred thousand dragon armor guards and Lei Zhanpeng's guards, Yuan Chong and the former Great Sima Su He, besides Xu Junze, who is the representative of the emperor. After he was implicated in the case of his son Su Yunsheng and sent to southern Xinjiang, the military power in his hands now falls into the hands of the Prince of Qing, and the last one is Wei Qianjie, Marquis of Dingyuan, who has soldiers and horses from the two major military camps outside the capital , and Yuan Chong, Minister of the Ministry of War, was still his eldest brother-in-law. In fact, only one of the barracks guarding the east, west, north, south, and north of the capital was truly controlled by the emperor.

Lin Shuran met Xi Shi again through her mother Wen Shi. Because of Princess Xiqing's marriage before, Lin Shuran knew that Xi Shi was not easy, and Wen Shi and Xi Shi were good friends and helped her. Lin Shuran respected her with the courtesy of a junior, but it made Mrs. Xi a little flattered.

"Ma'am, this can't be done!" In terms of rank, Mrs. Xi is the wife of the third rank, and Lin Shuran is the wife of the first rank. She should give Lin Shuran a courtesy.

"Auntie is an elder, so I can afford this gift!" Lin Shuran met Mrs. Xi in Taifu's residence, and Mrs. Wen was by her side.

"But sister is right, don't be polite to this child, she has something to ask you for today!" Wen said with a smile.

Mrs. Xi hurriedly said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me as soon as possible, as long as I can help!"

Xi Shi usually dealt with outsiders, she was more tactful and sophisticated, but she had a deep friendship with Wen Shi in the early years, and treated her differently from others, and also took Wen Shi's daughter as her own family to take care of her.

Lin Shuran immediately said with a smile: "Auntie, then I'm not impolite, you also know that there are thirteen boys in my house, and all of them have grown up a lot at this age, and the eldest and second are also fifteen or sixteen It sounds like they are younger, but in fact, at their age, some people have started talking about getting married. I am not in a hurry, but I just want to ask first, which girl here looks suitable? , tell me."

"It turns out that this matter is not difficult at all. It's just that the family is right and the age is right. It's really hard to say for a while. The young ladies of the various houses are still young and can't tell anything about their personality. If it is two or three years later, You can see the true nature." As soon as she heard that she was talking about marriage to the young master of the Xu family, Mrs. Xi became interested, Lin Shuran is really a qualified aunt, and now she was thinking of finding a marriage for the young master of the Xu family.

"I heard that there are many daughters in Yuan's family, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and all of them are beautiful! I don't know if there is a suitable girl in his family?" Lin Shuran deliberately mentioned the family of Yuan Chong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

In fact, she has already been inquired about by people. There are nineteen daughters in Yuan Chong's family. Over the years, Yuan Chong has tried everything to find a child, but it seems like God is deliberately against him. The more he wants He had a son, but he gave birth to a daughter. Now that Yuan Chong has white hair, he still doesn't have a son to inherit the incense. I heard that one of his concubines is pregnant again, and it is most likely a daughter.
