Do you know how easy it is for smart people to chat? Look at the queen and Ming Lan and you will know.

After Ming Lan and Gu Tingye got married, they moved out of Houfu and lived in a garden separated by a wall. Later, Gu Tingye attacked the Lord and had to live with the government. Ming Lan held a big banquet to celebrate the government, which is a very important scene in the whole play.

In this scene, General Shen's concubine, Xiao Zou, comes uninvited; With the help of ladies with good reputation and fame in Beijing, Lady Xiaoqin used public opinion to discredit Ming Lan. General Shen's family, Lady Zhang and Xiao Zou, quarreled at the banquet; Xiao Gongye's wife, Shen, gave a secret crusade against Ming Lan; Ming Lan privately broke off the past with Xiao Gongye and cleared up the relationship; Moran helped Gu Tingye discover that Ming Lan and Xiao Gongye were communicating privately.

this play is absolutely wonderful, and there are many details to be explored. Among them, it is precisely because of the quarrel between Zhang Niangzi and Xiao Zou's family that Ming Lan worked for the Queen and made friends with Zhang Niangzi.

Xiao Zou's words were presumptuous in public, and he had a conflict with Lady Zhang. Ming Lan rushed to persuade her, hoping that Zhang would be more considerate. Instead, she was scolded by Zhang for being pretentious. She was born as an ordinary woman and had a good life. She became a marquis lady, but she bullied her superiors and deluded her subordinates here, rebelled against her filial piety and bullied her mother-in-law. A noisy down let Ming Lan and Gu Tingye make a big joke in Bianjing City.

Then the queen summoned Ming Lan to the palace without telling Gu Tingye.

First, there was a cry: The assassins thought she was me, killed her, and cut off her head, and took it for a reward. That's why I dodged a bullet and got the chance to sit in this position.

Ming Lan's little expression is a little stupid. Why are you telling me this?

The Queen continues to strengthen her emotional bedding and be frank: I got this position with her life, and my sister-in-law died for me as well as my brother. Now our Shenyang family is prosperous, but she can no longer enjoy it ...

These words are really heartfelt words. You are as expensive as the queen of the dynasty, crying in front of you, are you flattered, and do you feel that the queen regards you as her intimate person in an instant?

Ming Lan's brain is running at full speed: keep up with the queen's thinking, and the big Zou family saved her. The queen must preserve the prosperity of the Zou family in order to be grateful and repay.

Thinking of this, Ming Lan answered cleverly: That's why your majesty and empress acquiesced in General Shen's acceptance of Zou's sister-in-law.

The Queen was very satisfied with Ming Lan's reaction, so her tears stopped a little, and then she said, We Shen family owe Zou family a life, but now my brother's status is respected. If we want to marry an old minister, only his status as a national uncle can match that of an English male and only daughter.

Ming Lan is really an excellent hostess: I understand the difficulties of the Empress.

The prince who was not favored at the beginning has now become the emperor, his wife, the Shen family, has become the first consort, and Uncle Shen is a widower. The loyal ministers who have been following the emperor all come from the hinterland.

Therefore, they should marry the powerful people in Beijing to ensure the stability of the new emperor's throne. The British Duke is the pillar of the imperial court, the guide of the capital, and he works in the army. His daughter is very suitable.

Although the British Duke was not very satisfied with the marriage, it was hard for the Queen to refuse it. In addition, the British Duke also needed Shen Jialai to strengthen his relationship with the new emperor. Uncle Shen needs a deeply rooted British public to enhance his power, and the Zou family needs to continue to maintain in-laws with the Shen family and ensure the interests of the children of the big Zou family.

so it has become such an embarrassing situation. Zhang has no feelings for Uncle Shen. When he married beginning of life, he knew there was a concubine, Xiao Zou. Perhaps the mentality has not been adjusted well, and she is autistic, not arguing with Xiao Zou, just thinking about muddling along. If Xiao Zou knows the big picture and knows the big picture, it will be easy, and it will be peaceful, but Xiao Zou is a stupid person who is jealous and does not know how to advance and retreat.

the queen went on to say that Xiao Zou is a noble concubine and an imperial concubine, and Miss Zhang has been wronged. The two of them made a scene at your big banquet, making it difficult for you and Gu Hou to behave. Just for my sake, don't take it to heart, okay?

Ming Lan knew that the Queen called her into the palace for more than just comforting her heart, so she didn't say much, but said politely, "What the Queen said really broke my concubine.

if you apologize, you can usually go here. What's more, in ancient times, thunder and rain were all your grace. There is a dispute between my husband's wife and concubines in your house. It's only because of your poor greeting and improper arrangement that the royal family has lost such a big face and it's good not to bother you. Which round will the queen give you a relieved apology?

Next, the Queen and Ming Lan confided in each other: we came out of that small place in Yuzhou, and sat in this position, just like sitting on a charcoal brazier, without a moment's stability, facing up and down, inside and outside the courtyard, counting on everyone.

I also told a story about the difficulty of the emperor and himself. The throne came suddenly and had no foundation. Whether it is up and down the imperial court or the family's back house, it is related to the imperial affairs, and you also need to contribute. Counting on everyone, there are old people in Yuzhou, Gu Tingye and Mrs. Gu Hou Sheng Minglan.

to be more specific, you will be needed to do something!

Ming Lan pondered and said: The Shen family are all old people in Yuzhou, and the Zhang family's wife is in it. She is also weak, and under the long-standing resentment, on the contrary ...

In fact, it means that this matter is not easy to handle. You didn't do it right at the beginning. Since you want to repay the Zou family, you should marry the little Zou family as the second wife as soon as possible. If you want to marry the old and new ministers, you shouldn't put one of them to death. Talking about marriage in the name of repaying kindness, the result is this situation.

The Queen began to weep again: Why didn't I know that? I'm afraid that at that time, the beauty of the marriage between the old and new ministers will become an unjust relative, which will shake the country and the country.

The Queen is afraid that something will happen to Zhang Guifen if she continues like this, and her younger brother has always had no feelings for her, let alone pity her. In case the marriage between the old and new ministers fails at that time, it is a state matter for the public, while General Shen is his own younger brother in private, and the Zou family has saved his life. It seems that it is just a quarrel between a wife and a concubine. If it is not handled well, things can be big or small.

Ming Lan thought about it for about a second, but there was nothing he could do. Two people had a head-on conflict in his own house, and he was half a party. Besides, the Queen said this, and he was an imperial wife, so he had to take this job with a logical conclusion. Ming Lan stood up and saluted: If the Empress agrees, I would like to visit Lady Zhang.

The micro-expression on the queen's face at this moment is really wonderful. I am happy that I have not misjudged the wrong person, and I am relieved that the problem has been solved: You have solved my heart, Mrs. Shanda.

It can be said that the purpose of the Queen's brief talk in this conversation is not to talk, but to let Ming Lan understand her difficulties and take the initiative to take the job. Simply put, the Queen befriended Ming Lan with her own sadness.

Just look at the Queen and Ming Lan to see how easy it is for two smart people to talk.

First of all, the Queen didn't rashly choose Ming Lan as a lobbyist. Ming Lan's gift of knowing books was obvious to a large family in Bianjing. When the Queen Mother forced several concubines to Gu Tingye, Ming Lan skillfully solved this matter, and no one offended her. Naturally, the Queen appreciated her resilience.

Second, Zhang Guifen made a joke at Gu Fu's banquet, which not only humiliated Uncle Shen and himself, but also brought inconvenience to Gu Tingye and Ming Lan. Therefore, it is very appropriate to let Ming Lan enlighten her.

Let's see how the Queen quietly conveyed her thoughts to Minglan.

first of all, talk briefly and confide in your heart.

To put it simply, the conversation between the two of you has gone beyond the close relationship between them. Since self-disclosure can promote the development of relationship, the deeper self-disclosure brings closer relationship, then I'll just say it when I'm shallow.

does this strategy work? Of course it works! This is almost everyone's instinct to establish relationships with others. Even children know that children who have exchanged little secrets will be closer to themselves, which is different from other ordinary students.

That's what the Empress did. First, she told Ming Lan in tears that her position as Empress was difficult and the reason for flattering the Zou family.

it's really a taboo in interpersonal communication to talk briefly and deeply. Su Shi once said in the Book of the Emperor of God: A gentleman is forbidden to make a simple statement. In the face of strangers or relatives who haven't seen each other for several years, you can naturally go back or ignore them.

but what can we do in the face of the superficial words of the superior? For a mature and intelligent person, when he meets such a person, he has his own judgment. Is this person like this for anyone or just for me? What purpose does she want to achieve by doing this?

So Ming Lan didn't take the Queen's apology to heart, but was polite according to the etiquette. Because she knows that this is not the point, it is just a header and an introduction.

the next step is to understand the interests and entrust them with heavy responsibilities.

the queen went on to say that it is not easy for her family to be in a high position, and many things need to rely on everyone.

this sentence seems simple, but it is actually rare. Don't say that she is a queen, even ordinary leaders rarely tell their subordinates so clearly. On the one hand, it's a good face, and on the other hand, it's a matter of leadership dignity. I think I respect you when I ask you to do things, and it's natural that I pay you for your work.

So people who do things after saying this are warm and willing to work hard for you.

The Queen also said that the marriage between the Shen family and the Zhang family is related to the country. Your Gu Hou is an old man from Yuzhou and an upstart in the court. Your mother's father and brother are also officials in the court, and you yourself are an imperial wife. Needless to say, you can understand the importance of this.

The men contribute to your Majesty in the court and on the battlefield, and we women can only do our best in the backyard. Ningyuan Houfu and the emperor of the new dynasty are in a relationship of honor and loss. If you do this job well, you will naturally get a credit in the credit book. And later Mrs Gu Hou, shengshi Ming Lan is the person who has friendship with ouchi and the queen.

At this point, Ming Lan can only seem to have volunteered to take over this matter. The queen's excited expression proves that she has been waiting for Ming Lan's words.

Let's think about it from another angle. If she is as frank as Lan, she may only persuade the Queen to relax. Or if you are as timid as Yan ran, you will pretend not to understand the implication of the queen, or think that you can't do it and avoid this job. Then she will be excluded from the ouchi harem headed by the queen in the future and can only be an idle official.

During this conversation, the Queen never said anything about what I want you to do and what I promised you, nor did she let Ming Lan know her intentions and Ming Lan accept the task willingly. Even if Ming Lan doesn't want to get into this stall, the queen won't lose face too much and won't offend Gu Hou. After all, she never made any demands on Ming Lan.

look, how easy it is for smart people to talk and how efficient communication is!
