Chapter 648 Old Twelve's Ambition ([-])

Looking at the old man's will at first glance, it seems that there is nothing strange at all, at most it is a little bit more favored, other than that, there is nothing unusual in the words, but what, the metaphor inside But it is not simple, this is to tell Hongqing two things, first, the old man has already known the trick of "waiting for change" played by Hongqing in the handover of the Ministry of Industry, and second, that is It is implying that Hong Qing can let go and do it, as long as there are no major problems, the old man will follow the consequences.

Hong Qing was originally pretending to be sick, but this time with the old man's order, if she is sick, she naturally doesn't have to pretend anymore. Although she still doesn't plan to go out, it's okay to accept congratulations from all parties openly, no, no, As soon as the news of Hong Qing's concubine spread, every family and government immediately sent people to congratulate her, and several elder brothers and courtiers who were close to her even rushed to Hong Qing's house one after another, offering all kinds of gifts. A few big houses have been installed, of course, most of them are mother and baby products, Hong Qing does not accept gifts that are too expensive.

Hong Qing never liked welcoming and seeing things off, but for the children of the Tian family, such superficial skills are absolutely indispensable. This is the so-called sophistication of the world, otherwise, a "fake" I am afraid that the hat of "nobleness" will be put on her head, and this is obviously not the result that Hong Qing wants to see. Because of this, even though she is exhausted every day, Hong Qing still has to socialize. After doing it, of course, Hongqing didn't forget to pay attention to the chaos in the Ministry of Industry when she was socializing, waiting for the old twelve to come to her door!
The days went on like this day by day, three days had passed since the five-day holiday, and the number of people who came to congratulate him was gradually decreasing, but the old twelve was still nowhere to be seen. This kind of situation is obviously quite weird, but Hong Qing doesn't care about it, nothing else, the old twelve's every move has long been under the strict surveillance of the "sharp knife", he and the four For Hong Qing, the private contact between Master and Ba Ye is not very confidential. Of course, this is not the root of Hong Qing's presence, and it is what can really make Hong Qing sit firmly on the Diaoyutai There is only one thing, and that is that Hong Qing is holding the handle of the old twelve, and if he really wants to rectify it, he can do it at any time, but there is no need to rush it.

"My lord, Prince Lu has arrived outside the gate of the mansion, please tell me clearly."

You hour has passed, the sky is already dark, after having dinner and teasing the three sons, Hong Qing calmly went to the study room, there is no official document to deal with, just thinking about reading for a while That's all, but just sitting down, before picking up the books, Guan Yu hastily turned out from behind the screen, rushed to the copywriting, bowed, and hastened to report a sentence.

Hmm, finally couldn't bear it anymore?Well done!
Hearing that the old twelve had arrived, Hong Qing immediately twitched the corner of her mouth, revealing a sneering smile, but there was no other sign, she just ordered indifferently: "Open The middle gate, the king will go to meet him in a while."

"twitter!"

Since Hong Qing had given the order, Guan Yu didn't dare to be negligent, and hastily complied with the promise, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning it.

Under the misty night, two huge wind lanterns swayed slightly in the wind, the dim lights were endless, and the face of a young man in a brown robe not far from the steps was illuminated uncertainly, but his face was round and round. With bushy eyebrows and a straight nose, he is quite heroic, but his brows are full of worry that cannot be concealed. This person is the elder brother in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Prince Lu County Yinxuan.

Counting the time, it has been nearly half a month since Yinzhen took over the handicraft department, but the work has not been completed, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't do it. Don't look at the respectful attitude of all the officials below. However, no one paid any attention to what Yinxuan ordered. As for the review of documents, there is nowhere to talk about it. The source of all this comes from one person, that is, he is going to come here today Hong Qing, who was visiting, even though he was an elder, if he really wanted to deal with such an "official butcher" as Hong Qing, Yinxuan still felt a little nervous in his heart, not for anything else, but because he had ghosts in his heart, so he couldn't help it. Some panicked.

If it is possible, Yinxuan is actually 12 times unwilling to come to see Hongqing. For this reason, he has been doing a lot of activities in private, intending to use external forces to make use of it. He has already done things in secret, but he can't stand the old man. Scolding, nothing else, the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are in a mess right now, and all kinds of official affairs are backlogged like a mountain. If there is no change, I am afraid that the position of the management department that has not been warmed up will fly away, like this situation Now, Yinxuan had to be anxious, so he had to come to Hongqing to discuss it.

"My nephew has met Uncle Twelve."

Just when Old Twelve was worrying about gains and losses, he heard a piercing sound of rubbing, the tightly closed middle door of Renjun Prince's Mansion opened wide, and immediately saw Hong Qing leading dozens of servants out from the door After a few strides, he arrived in front of the old twelve, and saluted and greeted him very respectfully.

"Brother Qing, you're being polite. My uncle should have come to congratulate you earlier, but he was a bit late because he was so busy with other affairs. Brother Qing won't be offended?"

Don't look at the old twelfth who is now considered to have achieved a positive result. The majestic king of the county has the title of elder brother of the Ministry of Industry and can be regarded as the number one figure in the court. Compared with Hong Qing, who is about to enter the center, he is really It was too far away, even though he was an elder, he accepted Hong Qing's gift without daring to slap him, but seeing her hastily retreated half a step, he hurriedly bowed back Li, his mouth is even more humble with obvious flattery.

"What did Uncle Twelfth say? It's my nephew's honor that you can come here in your busy schedule. How dare you make any surprises? Oh, it's windy outside. Please, Uncle Twelfth, How about talking inside?"

When it comes to hypocrisy, even if there are twelve old twelves added up, they are not Hong Qing's opponents. No, I saw Hong Qing chattering with a smile. Well, he honestly and unceremoniously stabbed the old twelve.

"Good, good, brother Qing, please."

Super busy?Old Twelve is busy, but it's all just busy work. If it is really useful, then he will not be reduced to the point where he visits Renjun Wangfu at night. Although such a pun is obscure, he has rolled around in the deep palace. The old twelve could still hear it, his old face blushed uncontrollably, he was born to beg for help, no matter how much dissatisfaction he had in his heart, there was no room for his old twelve to explode, so he just Neng said hello repeatedly in embarrassment, waved his hand politely, and said "please".

"Uncle Twelve, please have some tea."

After Hong Qing introduced the old twelve to the gate, he did not go to the inner courtyard, but invited the old twelve to the hall of the second entrance, and a group of servants rushed to serve the newly brewed fragrant tea, But he didn't go far, and waited on both sides of the hall. As soon as this posture of not wanting to talk privately appeared, the smiling face of the old twelve inevitably froze, but Hong Qing ignored it at all, smiled calmly, and stretched out his hand Picking up the tea bowl, he compared it to the old twelve, and said politely with a smile.

"Okay, good tea, hehe, to tell you the truth, Brother Qing, I have been so busy these days that I hardly even have time to drink tea. Back to the head of the department, alas, it is useless to say that it is for uncle, knowing that brother Qing is inconvenient at the moment, but still shyly came to disturb, ashamed, ashamed."

Although the old twelfth was not outstanding among the elder brothers, he was educated by the elites and had been in court for many years. His face was as thick as a city wall. The attitude of not wanting to talk privately, but the old twelve still poured out bitterness with half-truths.

"Tired Uncle Twelve has worked hard, it's really my nephew's fault, alas, my little nephew has been suffering so much for so many years, and my body can't hold it anymore, this disease is so severe, no, my little nephew is full of pain in bed I've been lying down for eight days, and I haven't seen any improvement until now. A few days ago, Wang Binkun and Wang Yizheng just checked my nephew's pulse, saying that it was caused by overwork, and I need my nephew to rest more. It will take several months to recover. Uncle Twelve , look at this..."

The old twelfth would complain, how could Hongqing not? No, just as the old twelfth finished speaking, Hongqing immediately sighed bitterly, and unceremoniously rejected the old twelve's request. return ticket.

"This... huh, huh, brother Qing is right. You can't do it as an uncle if you insist on sickness. It's just, alas, it's just that it's not easy to delay the various matters of the Ministry of Industry. Four days ago The boy from the elder brother's family came and said that he planned to help the uncle Haosheng manage those bastards who didn't obey his orders. After thinking about it for the uncle, he felt that something was wrong, so he didn't rush to agree. If Brother Qing's body is really inconvenient today, why don't you let the boys from the fourth family try it out for uncle?"

If the old twelve dared to come to Hongqing's door today, he would naturally not come unprepared. Seeing that Hongqing refused to go to the Ministry of Industry to handle the handover, the evil fire in his heart suddenly arose, thinking that there was an imperial decree With her in hand, she was not afraid of what Hong Qing would do to her, so she gritted her teeth and made a proposal.

"Success, Uncle Twelfth can say whatever he wants, my nephew has no objection, you can just figure it out."

As soon as he heard the old twelfth's words, Hong Qing knew that the old boy was playing a trick of blackmail, nothing else, the Ministry of Industry is a big piece of fat right now, so many people are staring at it, and the old twelfth is not What a generous and kind person, it is impossible to give Hongli a share of the fat that is on his lips. Besides, although Hongli is known as the assistant of the Ministry of Industry, he has no foundation in the Ministry of Industry. Even if it is a head, how much effect can it achieve? If it is really easy to use, why does the old twelve eagerly come to perform such a trick of night visits? Of course, the mouth grows on the old twelve's face, what does he love? You can say whatever you want, but Hong Qing didn't mind at all, so she just typed a haha, and responded with a non-negotiable sentence.
