Chapter 256: Bargaining chip

PS: Thanks to the master of Coolsake's Heshibi~o(∩_∩)o
.
When Ren Yaoqi got the news, Aunt Fang's maid went to the outer courtyard.
Ren Yaohua frowned and said, "What do you send someone to the outer courtyard? The sixth brother came to the Ziwei Academy, and my father went to the Ronghua Academy..."
Ren Yaoqi is also thinking about this issue. Aunt Fang must have realized that it is difficult for her to get out of her body this time. She has to find a way to protect herself.
So what can she do?
Ren Yaoqi quickly sorted out the various powerful relationships between the people of the Ren family, and suddenly he thought of something.
Madam Zhou asked: "Miss Fifth, do you want the servant to send someone to stop the little maid? Whatever she does, as long as we control all her people, let's see how she can turn the sky!"
Ren Yaohua also nodded and said: "That's right, no matter what she wants to do, as long as she can't do it."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "It can also be said that the reason for stopping the sixth brother was because the father and mother had previously confessed. When all her people were stopped, the grandfather and grandmother must know that we were secretly making a ghost."
But this is not the point. The point is that Ren Yaoqi thought about what bargaining chip Fang might have in her hand, and this bargaining chip can save her life at a critical moment, so the one that Aunt Fang is looking for now should be the one that Ren's family can call the shots. people. Even the person who stopped Aunt Fang, as long as the chips in her hand are still there, she is not afraid that she will not see anyone.
No one in the Ren family knows the dispositions of Ren's parents better than Ren Yaoqi.
But what bargaining chip can Aunt Fang have? No matter how clever she is, she is nothing more than an aunt. If she has a bargaining chip, then this bargaining chip must be related to Fang's family, or Fang Yacun's bargaining chip.
Ren Yaoqi carefully recalled the events of the previous life. It's a pity that when she was at the Ren family, she didn't pay much attention to the Ren family's affairs, and after so many years, what she can think of is really limited.
Ren Yaohua said: "If Aunt Fang can't be beaten to death with a stick this time, it will be difficult to completely abolish her in the future. It is precisely Fang Yacun's official defeat at this moment. She did not have a backer..."
What he didn't want Ren Yaohua said was a reminder to Ren Yaoqi.
Is Fang Yacun really frustrated in officialdom? He is clearly in the south, although his rank is still small, but because he is deeply appreciated by Shangfeng, his future is bound to be boundless. But he didn't want to leave a good situation in the south. What do you have to come to Yanbei for?
After Mrs. Fang came to Yanbei this time, Ren Yaoqi discovered that Yanbei was still in the domain of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the Yanbei Palace had already had its own set of rules for the appointment and removal of officials. It is difficult to intervene in.
Fang's family in Yanbei has only one in-laws, Ren's family, who can't help at all. He doesn't have the foundation and wide enough channels at all. Otherwise, she won't be ruined by her little tricks.
Even if Fang Yacun is for Aunt Fang, it is impossible to risk his future. Even if Fang Yacun wanted to do this, he had to think about his wife and children. Moreover, Fang Yacun's control of the other's family would also weaken when he left the south. Is it really worth it?
But from the eagerness of each house when Mrs. Fang came to Yanbei. She felt it was worth it.
Could it be said that there are other reasons why Fang Ya survived to Yanbei?
Ren Yaoqi thinks. Perhaps Fang Yacun was more complicated than she thought.
"You speak!" Ren Yaohua spoke to Ren Yaoqi for a long time without seeing her responding, she couldn't help raising her voice.
Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses: "What did you say?"
Ren Yaohua twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling that she was going to be irritable again: "Ask your auntie Fang what to do!"
Mother Zhou also looked at Ren Yaoqi. Wait for her to answer.
Ren Yaoqi said, "Don't act rashly, just take a look and talk." Seeing Ren Yaohua, his face was dumbfounded. Ren Yaoqi smiled and comforted her, "I have endured it for so long, and it is not too late for this moment."
Aunt Fang hadn't invited the old lady back, so the little girl looking outside came back to report that the person sent by the old lady had come.
Aunt Fang thought for a while. Now the fifth wife Lin is still in the Ronghua Academy. With Lin's aggressiveness, she would be embarrassed if she went to the old lady first, so she confessed to Jinju: "I'll start from the back door. Go out, you stopped them for a while, and you said I was uncomfortable today, and I haven't gotten up yet, and I will go with them after I get dressed."
Kumquat answered, and Aunt Fang immediately put on a navy blue chiffon cloak and quietly left the back door of Fangfei Courtyard.
After Auntie Fang left Fangfeiyuan, she avoided the people and went to the second gate. From a distance, she saw that the door of the second gate had been guarded by several women. Fortunately, Auntie Fang did not plan to go out. Quietly hiding behind the rockery, in that position you can see people coming in from outside.
Aunt Fang waited for a long time, and even saw that the few maids sent to find her seemed to have discovered that she was not in Fangfeiyuan, and hurriedly ran to Ronghuayuan, and her maid Jinju was also pulled by them. go with.
Aunt Fang watched them walking past, but didn't move.
Until he saw Old Lady Ren coming in through the second door.
Aunt Fang walked out from behind the rockery and hurriedly greeted her.
Grandpa Ren frowned when she saw Aunt Fang, and after she finished the ceremony, he said, "You should go to Ronghua Courtyard to see the old lady in the inner courtyard."
Aunt Fang sent someone over to invite him to be an old lady, he might not come back, but he also heard about the discharge from the inner courtyard, so he rushed back.
Aunt Fang lowered her head and said: "Old lady, the maid knows that it is not compliant to come to you, but the maid does have important things to discuss with you."
Old lady Ren still frowned and said nothing.
Aunt Fang glanced at the old man Ren, and said: "Old man, maidservant, I heard from Yacun a while ago that it seemed that the coal stacks run by the Ren family around Kyoto seemed to be losing money?"
Grandpa Ren couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He was not surprised that Fang Yacun would talk about this with Aunt Fang. He was surprised that the Ren family’s coal storage around Kyoto had been losing money. The Erfang father and son in Kyoto knew, where did Fang Yacun learn about it?
Although Fang Yacun was an official in the south. But he is not a Beijing official, and his official position is not big.
Aunt Fang knew that she was not bad when she saw the old man Ren’s expression, and then said: "Old man, I heard Ya Cun said that the Ren family’s coal mine in the south is not as good as Yanbei. It’s not that Ren’s coal is not easy to sell. Going out, it’s because they have to deal with a group of officials of all sizes every year, which leads to insufficient income."
Aunt Fang's words are correct, the Ren family started in Yanbei. The contacts in the south are much worse. Although the old man of the second room has been operating in Kyoto, he is nowhere near the local local snakes. Therefore, although the quality of the coal produced by the Renjia Coal Store is better than other coal warehouses, Ren Jia It is only difficult to maintain.
Grandpa Ren also thought about giving up the business in Jiangnan, but as a businessman, Grandpa Ren still had a lot of ambitions. The large market in Jiangnan was reluctant to give up, even though it was like a tasteless one.
At this time, Auntie Fang's next sentence surprised the old man. Auntie Fang said: "The maidservant can ask Ya Cun to help the Ren family to introduce someone. As long as this person is connected, the Ren family's coal store in the south will definitely be able to come back to life. It will be a matter of time for the entire Great Zhou to be opened like the Wanjia Coal Store in Beijing."
Wanjia Coal Store is the largest coal store in the south, and its head office is located in Kyoto. It is also the biggest obstacle for Ren's family to open a coal store in the south. Wanjia has been operating in the south for several generations before it has its current scale.
"Who?" Although Aunt Fang, as an aunt, speaking in such a big tone is a weird thing. Old lady Ren still couldn't help but follow her question.
Aunt Fang smiled slightly, her always soft and watery eyes had a certain and confident look: "This person's surname is Lu, he is a father-in-law."
The old lady Ren was startled when he heard the words: "Father-in-law? The in the palace?"
Aunt Fang nodded: "The old man may have never heard of this father-in-law in Yanbei. He is the first-class celebrity next to the empress dowager. He has served the empress dowager for more than ten years and is deeply trusted by the empress dowager."
The shock in Old Lady Ren's heart could no longer be expressed in words, and he paused for a long time before asking, "How did Ya Cun get to know this Father Lu?"
Aunt Fang said: "The specific concubine is not very clear. It seems that the Shangfeng of Ya Cun recognized the father of Lu Gonggong, and the Shangfeng of Ya Cun has always appreciated him, so Ya Cun was lucky enough to get acquainted with him. Father Lu. As mentioned in Ya Cun’s letter last time, he intends to introduce him to the Ren family. In Kyoto, who should not sell Father Lu to the face? The face of Father Lu is the face of the Queen Mother. "
Although Grandpa Ren was very moved when he heard this, he was still a cautious person after all. He was a little suspicious: "Since Nephew Ya Cunxian has such a way in Kyoto, why would he still try to come to Yanbei as an official? With Father Lu as his backer, wouldn't he have a promising future in Kyoto?"
"This..." Aunt Fang paused, and she seemed to hesitate for a while. "The maidservant is not clear about the affairs of the officialdom, but the maidservant thought, Ya Cun came to Yanbei naturally because of his consideration."
Mr. Ren did not seem to be very satisfied with what the other aunt said.
Aunt Fang thought for a while, and then whispered: "But the concubine heard that this father-in-law Lu is likely to be sent to Yanbei as an imperial servant."
Old Madam Ren moved in his heart when he heard this. If that was the case, it seemed that it could explain why Fang Yacun tried to come to Yanbei.
Fang Ya survived on the order of his own Shangfeng or Lu Gonggong, in order to prepare for Lu Gonggong's coming to Yanbei in the future.
Old lady Ren couldn't help but start to figure it out.
Although Fang Ya's staying in Yanbei didn't go well this time, it doesn't mean that he won't have a chance to come in the future, if he really climbed the big red man next to the Queen Mother.

Tonight, when I was cooking and removing the chicken skin, I accidentally scratched my finger with a button, and it shed a lot of blood. Then the author felt dizzy and fell asleep on the bed for a long time. It is said that this is the legendary blood faint. However, the author did not faint on the ground, but felt that he wanted to sleep after finishing the bandage...
(What the author is worried about is...will there be a shadow on the chicken in the future!!!)
Fortunately, I can still get up to one more chapter, dear ones, don’t be too little.
Typing is a bit slower now, I will add more tomorrow...
.
I hope it will not affect the enthusiasm of the voting... The author will cry...〒_〒
