After breaking off the marriage, the Zhuangyuan Lang who was picked up was dressed weakly every day

Chapter 194 Such a Coincidence
When it comes to the "eight characters" issue, on the other side of Lin'an Mansion, the Duke of Qi's Mansion is also furious because of this.

Wang Zhang, the duchess of Qi State, held up a sheet with Meng Changqing's birth date written on it, and said to Qi Guo Gong who stopped her: "Silang is already twenty-two now. How old is he when the official is this age? We are our parents. If there is no urgency about this matter, how long will it take for him to wait?"

Wang Qiong celebrated her birthday, and Wang Zhang just attended the banquet and was persuaded to marry the Mu family. Meng Jibai, Duke of Qi, stared at her with dark eyes and did not give in at all: "Do you think that as long as I give my son to the Mu family? Shiro gave in because of his birth date?"

"yield?"

From the bottom of his heart, Wang Zhang did not want to admit the fact that he could not control Meng Changqing. He said excitedly: "Did you insult him by marrying the Mu family? Look at the behavior of your good son. He is homeless all day long and doesn't know where he is. He’s just fooling around! It’s his blessing that the Mu family is willing to accept Shiro.”

Meng Jibai sneered: "If the Mu family is the son of Prince He, why can't our Meng family be so high up?"

When it comes to the prince's grandson, the Meng family is the real royal family, and the person in front of him is his cousin.

Wang Zhang heard the displeasure of Meng Jibai, who was born with a noble status, and realized the mistake in his words, so he softened his tone and said: "The Mu family is just such a little lady. She knows everything, and she sees that the person who proposes marriage is about to cross the threshold. , I am not thinking that since we are well matched and her temperament is docile, if she really wants to join our Meng family, if Shiro is still as unwilling to hang out outside, she will not be embarrassed, so I am anxious to do it. Set it down."

Meng Jibai knew exactly what Meng Changqing, who had paid his subordinates, was busy recently and why he was away from home.

Meng Changqing no longer lingered on wasting time among the pollen, and was forced by Qin Yuehuai to give up and want to do something practical. He loved it and supported it in every possible way.

And what about the Mu family?

Mu Lun was obviously irritated by Meng Changqing's unreasonable words in court, and his face turned black. Now he is anxious to get married. After all, it is Wang Qiong and Qin Hui who the Mu family is attached to, and they want to win over him because of the power in his hands. It's just the Meng family.

Meng Jibai weighed the importance of his motivated son and the outsiders who wanted to take advantage of him very clearly at this moment.

However, he now had prejudices against these calculations and no longer wanted to understand Wang Zhang, who was always led by his mother's family.

He simply followed Wang Zhang's words and said: "No matter how docile a little lady is, there is no reason why she will be wronged when she gets married. What's more, you are related to me, so if you really want to make my daughter feel wronged, you It’s also hard to hold your head up in front of your parents, wouldn’t you say?”

He followed his plan, and Wang Zhang was choked by him. After being quiet for a long time, he struggled and said, "Silang will have to calm down sooner or later. By then, he will miss such a good kiss."

She repeatedly promoted her natal family, and Meng Jibai said with a serious face: "Just because he is my son, the future head of the Meng family, and the heir to the title of 'Qi Guogong', his marriage will not be a problem." Don’t be too attached to something, ask his opinion first, and then be his master!”

Wang Zhang was extremely surprised: "Marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. How can I hear you, official, saying that it is all up to Shiro to make the decision?"

Meng Jibai asked back: "In the past, you and I just turned back. What happened? Have you forgotten where did his problem of hanging out all the time come from?"

Wang Zhang also asked Meng Jibai: "The official regretted what happened that time, and now he has stopped eating because of choking, and wants to let Silang have another chance at marriage?"

It is undeniable that they have already done this once.

After breaking up a marriage, Meng Changqing's style was no longer serious, but no matter how it was, the family tradition was still better than if he took a flower girl as a concubine before marriage.

Meng Jibai was pragmatic: "It's not all up to him, but now and then, his temper is stubborn now, and he will definitely not compromise easily. It's better to ask his opinion first about his marriage."

Wang Zhang disagreed: "If he doesn't have objections to every young lady I invite to my home, and avoids them all, is it necessary for us to discuss marriage behind his back?"

Wang Zhang was even more furious when he thought that Meng Changqing had turned a blind eye to his many efforts, and even that he was only targeting her. He would definitely stay out when she invited people to her home.

She made up her mind and said: "What we have to do is to choose a suitable young lady for him. When the wedding is more than half done, it will be fine even if he doesn't accept it."

Meng Changqing returned home exhausted after a hard night's work. What he heard at his parents' door were Wang Zhang's words.

The folding fan that was spinning randomly in his hand stopped. As he walked inside, he said loudly: "Who can force a cow's head to drink water? I have a woman I really want to marry, and I won't marry anyone else. If I can't marry her, , I will never have a family."

After hearing such shocking words, Meng Jibai was already able to bear it because he had heard it before. However, Wang Zhang, who heard this for the first time, was so shocked that he opened his mouth for a long time before asking in disbelief: "Who are you going to marry?" , Whose family is it?”

Meng Changqing answered frankly: "The daughter of the miracle doctor Cai who originally lived in Qingshan County, Cai family, her maiden name is Xizhu."

These words struck his ears, and even Meng Jibai felt like a bolt from the blue.

Not only because Cai Yu is now locked up in the government office, but more importantly, that little lady once had a story.

Wang Zhang also heard the mystery and asked: "But Cai, who had discussed marriage with your cousin before?"

Meng Changqing nodded.

Wang Zhang found it difficult to breathe, so he asked again: "Is it the one who was insulted..."

Meng Changqing interrupted her loudly: "No. She has never been insulted by anyone. They are all false rumors."

Such words not only confirmed to the court that he was talking about the Cai family, but also gave another hidden hint: Meng Changqing knew very well whether she had been insulted by anyone.

How would he know?Zuo just confirmed it.

Wang Zhang was extremely reluctant to understand what he meant, but when he thought about his son hanging around in the fireworks alley, it was really difficult for him to deceive himself and others.

She laughed angrily: "You mean, even if her reputation is ruined, it doesn't matter to you? Are you still marrying her? Stop being so delusional! I will never allow such a woman who doesn't know herself to come in. You should give up this idea as soon as possible. !”

At this point, Meng Changqing simply refused to do anything and said word by word: "It's not that she doesn't know how to love herself, it's that I forced her."

In today's social atmosphere, he would not be unaware of how big a deal it is for a woman to lose her virginity.He knew it, but he still touched her!
Wang Zhang was so aroused that he couldn't control his anger. He stepped forward and slapped Meng Changqing hard on the face. He said angrily: "How can you touch a girl from a good family? Are you still shameless? Do you have any education? Got it!"

This is the first time in my life that I have been beaten.

But Meng Changqing endured this palm with great joy.

He was rude and shameless when he met Cai Xizhu, but precisely because they were already like this, Zhuzhu's hope of marrying him became even greater.

Meng Changqing turned his face to one side, then turned back for a while and looked at Wang Zhang with determination in his eyes: "Yes, I just did it. Now it's hard to recover. I'm responsible. Just marry her."

Wang Zhang was choked and stagnated in the moment.

Facing Meng Changqing's determined eyes, she felt that she could not understand him even more now.

Growing up in a prosperous family, he was used to seeing the aura of a large family. He also understood the family responsibilities that Meng Changqing would bear in the future. It was extremely difficult to imagine how the entire inner palace of the Duke's mansion would be managed by a village girl. Wang Zhang endured it with difficulty. The anger that shot straight to the top of his head said bluntly: "Since you have... done that, I won't stop her from entering, but you should know full well that with her background, she is not worthy of being the mistress of this palace."

The implication of this was that he allowed him to take her as his concubine, and once again blocked him because of his so-called background. Meng Changqing looked at Wang Zhang quietly, smiled for a while, and then changed the topic: "She is not someone else. Her mother’s name is ‘Li Zhen’.”

Wang Zhang was shocked again: "Who did you say...?"

Meng Changqing: "Li Zhen is your cousin in Bianjing, the third wife of the Li family, Li Zhen."

He suddenly mentioned the Li family in Bianjing. Meng Jibai raised his thick eyebrows when he heard this, and his eyes fell on the face of Wang Zhang, who was inextricably related to the Li family.

Wang Zhang's expression suddenly changed when he heard the distant and familiar name.

Li Zhen......

In the second year of Yongxing's reign, her eldest sister Wang Qiong's family went south with Jinshang. When they didn't have a mansion at first, the family temporarily lived in Meng's mansion.During this period, someone came to the door and wanted to see the eldest sister. When the envoy led the person in, she was drinking tea with Wang Qiong at the waterside pavilion.

The person who came was none other than Li Zhen's fourth sister, Li Qing.She and her eldest sister are cousins ​​​​with the sisters from the Li family. They have not seen each other for many years since she got married in Bianjing. They thought it was a warm scene of reunion after a long separation. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Qingfu appeared, he took one look at her and started to attack the eldest sister. Insult.

The literati's insults didn't contain any curse words, but every word hurt the bones in his spine.

From Li Qing's words, everyone can tell why her third sister Li Zhen died.

Seeing the reaction on Wang Zhang's face, Meng Changqing knew that his mother knew nothing about what happened to Li Qing and Li Zhen in the Jin army's camp.

At this moment, the words "good and evil" were like the sound of an evening bell, hovering in Meng Silang's mind more and more excitedly.

He recalled the day when the Emperor's Zi Palace was welcomed back. Qin Yuehuai was also among the welcoming officials. Qin Qi naturally acted calmly in front of outsiders. Afterwards, he asked him if he saw his maternal grandfather. The coffin must be somewhat gratifying, after all, he had also heard about the Supreme Prince's preference for Prince Yisu.

But what did Qin Qi say at that time?
He lowered his eyes and said in a depressed tone: "Long before everyone was kidnapped out of the city, my mother was sacrificed with his consent. How comforting is my heart?"

The DPRK praised the return of Queen Mother Wei and others as a beautiful event to honor the ancestors, and also promoted the envoys who promoted it. He could imagine that Qin Qi, as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, drafted these appointment edicts. , how ironic in my heart.

He felt that kind of mood completely today.

The mountains and rivers are broken, and the powerful do not protect the weak. Instead, they bully the weak and add fuel to the flames for their own selfish desires, putting innocent women and children in the burning flames.The crime of the invaders is unforgivable, but such people are no different from executioners.

Meng Changqing had almost no illusions, but couldn't help but ask Wang Zhang: "Mother, do you know how your cousin died in the first place?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhang blurted out: "I don't know."

Knowing that Meng Changqing was not an innocent person, Meng Jibai frowned as he listened.

The mother wanted to cover up the issue, but Meng Changqing tugged her lower lip sarcastically and continued to ask: "After she passed away, did her husband-in-law get a promotion?"

At that time, the whole country was in panic, and both the Supreme Emperor and the First Supreme Leader had too much time to take care of themselves. In addition, the Yu family disappeared later, and the Wang family's promise to Li Zhen's husband-in-law to give an "Emperor's Medical Order" was in vain.

But since Meng Changqing asked about this promotion, he must have heard about this deal.

Wang Zhang looked away and said again: "I don't know."

Meng Jibai had been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years and knew the truth. He could almost guess what Meng Changqing's second question was implying.Also, since the Wang family is a powerful family, it is not difficult to promote a cousin's uncle.

But why did Wang Zhang dodge his eyes so many times?
Meng Jibai stared at his wife's eyebrows, eager to see the answer.

Wang Zhang certainly felt uncomfortable being stared at by the father and son like this.

She didn't bother to ask Meng Changqing why he knew this, but she knew that Meng Changqing's purpose in saying all this was just to marry that woman, so she said: "You think you can change your immoral behavior with her by saying that the woman is from the Yu family." Is that reasonable? Even if she is your distant cousin, she is still the wrong person now. "

It could be heard that Wang Zhang was deliberately pretending to be confused, but he did not want to easily fool Li Zhen's matter.This is probably the only way he can threaten his mother.

He knew very well that for a wealthy family like the Meng family, marriage was never a trivial matter, and it was not something he could successfully win by working hard.Wang Zhang has always had absolute power in the back house. If it was too ugly for him to confront her, she would ask his aunt and uncle. He had not yet married anyone, and the "good intention" of marriage would be fulfilled. Come on his head.

Meng Changqing's tone was coercive: "Li Zhen was killed by someone. Mother, you clearly knew about this, why did you want to know that you didn't know?"

Wang Zhang's face turned pale: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"You know." Meng Changqing did not give her any chance to escape, and said again in front of Meng Jibai: "She didn't know that her aunt had a deal with the Yu family. She was innocently implicated because she followed Princess Yanqing out of the city. !”

Upon hearing this, Meng Jibai reacted before Wang Zhang: "You said she was following...who?"

Meng Changqing's eyes met Meng Jibai's. Although he said nothing, Meng Jibai had already seen the answer from his heavy expression.

Li Zhen followed Princess Yanqing out of the city. Princess Yanqing went to the Golden Man's Place, which means...

Meng Jibai closed his eyes sadly, then opened his eyes and looked at Wang Zhang, sneering coldly.

They had been married for several years, and it was at this time that Wang Zhang became deeply aware of the change in Meng Jibai's attitude towards her.

She couldn't help but panic in her heart, but she still remembered to defend her sister Wang Qiong: "She, she... If I really want to blame it, I can only blame the Yu family for being greedy for profit! It was her husband-in-law who harmed her! What does it have to do with anyone else? Also, Why did she follow the eldest princess out of the city? If she didn't pry into other people's affairs, how could she get burned? "

There was no moment, more than this moment, that made both Meng Changqing and his son feel that Wang Zhang's eyes were completely blinded by family ties and that he could no longer distinguish right from wrong.

It is true that Cai Yu was wrong, but he was just a pawn in someone's plan.

Li Zhen is a real victim, what else is wrong?

Meng Jibai looked disappointed.

Meng Changqing also lost interest in continuing to argue with Wang Zhang, and no one could wake up the man who was pretending to sleep.

He finally said: "Zhuzhu's family is ruined, but luckily among the misfortunes, she still has an aunt alive. I have written to that cousin and asked her to come to An Mansion."

When he mentioned Li Qing, Wang Zhang was shocked, but before he had time to react, Meng Changqing asked her in a leisurely manner: "My mother was very close to the Wen family who was somewhat similar to my cousin. I must have missed her very much." stop?"

Wang Zhang choked and was speechless.

Meng Changqing worked hard all night, and after this experience, he didn't want to stay in the mansion any longer, so he simply left the mansion again and went to another courtyard to catch up on his sleep.

*
Similarly, Shen Yanhan didn't rest for almost the whole night, but because he had many important things on his mind, even though he was tired, he still couldn't sleep peacefully. Instead, he only took a short nap and woke up. .

Opening his eyes, he saw that the top of the bed was unfamiliar. It took Shen Yanhan a while to realize where he was resting.

Feeling sore all over, Shen Yanhan gently raised his lower lip, laughing at himself for not overestimating his abilities.But she was willing to be like this with him.

Shen Yanhan raised her eyes and looked around. Seeing that the furnishings in the room were so simple, she had the illusion that Qin Yuehuai was just resting here for a short time.As soon as this feeling came out, and thinking about his life experience and the experience of being hunted down many times, Shen Yanhan couldn't help but shrink in his heart.

She didn't want him to live in such a deserted life, but she wanted to ask him to buy more furniture. Shen Yanhan felt that she had no position.

With these two people like this, what on earth do they count?

Shen Yanhan couldn't explain clearly.

But Mrs. Shen has never been a troubled person. She will quickly gather her nerves, and after getting up, she will tidy up and behave herself.Mu Jin has not come back from her leave, and she doesn't have any extra female envoys. She has to take care of many things personally, but she doesn't have much energy to think about things with Qin Yuehuai.

She first went back to her shop, listened to the business situation of the previous day, and then handed over the most urgent orders to the embroiderer, stabilizing her "bottom", and then carried out the plan in her heart the previous day. , went to Zheng Mansion to find Lu Yuan to get some old clothes.

After telling her the whole story of being a refugee, Lu Yuan, as she expected, readily sorted out all the clothes that she couldn't wear because of her pregnancy, and even sent people to the back houses to get some.

Seeing her coming alone and collecting several large bags of clothes, Lu Yuan said kindly, "I'll send a carriage to take you back."

Due to the status of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, the carriages used for traveling are all gorgeous. Remembering that Qin Yuehuai knew that she was coming here to ask for clothes, and had told her to keep a low profile, Shen Yanhan shook her head and declined: "Sister Lu, these packages It looks big, but not heavy. Why don't you send a female envoy to me to move it over with me."

She insisted, and Lu Yuan naturally agreed.

When Shen Yanhan and Lu Yuan's female envoy walked out carrying two large packages, a loud male voice sounded from behind: "What are you doing?"

This question is very powerful and bluffing.

Shen Yanhan was so shocked that his shoulders trembled, he stopped, turned around and said dissatisfied: "What are you doing so loudly? It's like you're trying to catch a thief!"

Zheng Shilin saw that her elbows were holding packages that were very different from her body shape. The image was quite funny. She couldn't help but laughed out loud and teased: "You look like this and you are still sneaking around. Don't you think you are here to steal something?" "?" Shen Yanhan glared at him, turned around and continued walking, saying behind her: "I walked openly, there was nothing sneaky."

Zheng Shilin smiled. When he saw her walking forward, he quickly followed her and asked proactively: "Are these clothes you took to be given to the people you rescued yesterday?"

Shen Yanhan nodded.

Zheng Shilin then said to the female envoy Lu Yuan: "Ah Li, give me the baggage, and I will send it with Madam Shen."

Ali has followed Lu Yuan for many years. He has experienced moving from the Tang family to the Zheng family, and has gained Lu Yuan's trust. He has also seen several gentlemen around Shen Yanhan who were close friends with Lu Yuan. He remembered that Lu Yuan had secretly interacted with her. He mentioned his worries when he spoke, and said: "Your Majesty, I'd better go and deliver the things. Madam has told me that after delivering the things, I have to pick up the medicine and come back."

Zheng Shilin didn't hear A Li's hidden intention to keep a distance from Shen Yanhan, so he grabbed her baggage and said bluntly: "Give me the prescription. I will pick it up and bring it back to my second sister-in-law."

He has the temperament of marching and fighting, he is used to giving orders, and his hands are not light. He easily tore off Ali's baggage, and she looked a little uneasy: "Your Majesty!"

Zheng Shilin was puzzled: "What's wrong? Where is the prescription? You are so abnormal today."

Ah Li thought that it was abnormal for you to be chasing Mrs. Shen all day long, but the burden was already in his hands. With Zheng Shilin's uncompromising character, he might not return it to her, so she had to ask Shen Yanhan: "Ms. Shen, what are you doing?" So, our prince will help you deliver these?"

Shen Yanhan remembered Zheng Shilin's visit to Zhao Si's house, and wanted to say a few words to Zheng Shilin, so she nodded: "He has a horse to carry the burden, so he can go faster."

Ali told Zheng Shilin that she should pick up the medicine later. Watching the two figures disappear side by side, he turned around and reported to Lu Yuan in detail.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled helplessly: "Let him go."

*
Zhao Si didn't take it seriously that the cold had not healed, so he did not continue to take poison. With the careful care of the Zheng family's doctors, his health had improved in the past two days.

After hearing such news from Zheng Shilin, Shen Yanhan congratulated and sighed: "The entire Lin'an Mansion is waiting for him, the parent officer, to take up his duties as soon as possible."

Zheng Shilin finally found the opportunity to ask her: "You have known for a long time that my uncle is not just a simple cold. How did you hear that?"

His tone was firm, and his eyes became sharp when he looked at people because of the habit in the military camp. Shen Yanhan's heart jumped when he saw it, but she didn't frighten him, let alone tell the truth: "How can anyone stay in bed with an ordinary cold?" The one holding the moon? Prince Zheng, have you seen it?"

Shen Yanhan was always sharp-tongued, and Zheng Shilin choked up when asked.

Shen Yanhan said again: "Those who have been ill for a long time either have chronic diseases or have been misdiagnosed. My grandmother was like this once. She took medicine for several months, but her illness did not get better but got worse. Later, she changed to another It was only after the doctor found out the cause of the disease that she realized that the medicine she had been taking was not only useless, but on the contrary made her sicker. After all, the medicine was three-part poison."

As soon as these calm and well-founded words came out, Zheng Shilin, who was special to her, seriously dispelled her doubts. After hesitating for a moment, she said: "It was the doctor who misdiagnosed earlier."

Shen Yanhan nodded, and neither of them pointed out that Zhao Si was poisoned.

When Zheng Shilin asked Shen Yanhan directly why he cared so much about the officials of the Lin'an government office, Shen Yanhan also answered directly: "A former aunt of our Shen family is now imprisoned in the government office, but Since there is no one in the government office to decide the case, the case has been pending for a long time, so...my family is always paying attention to the government office's developments."

After speaking, she smiled bitterly at Zheng Shilin.

Everyone knows that family scandals should not be exposed publicly. After hearing what she said, Zheng Shilin immediately felt strange in his heart, not only because he felt trusted by her, but also because he thought he should be a little special in her heart.

Zheng Shilin's eyes softened and he took the initiative: "I will take more care of my uncle. When his health allows, he must be eager to go to the Yamen on duty as soon as possible. As for your family's case, I will ask him a few more questions then."

She told Zheng Shilin about this matter with the purpose of hoping that he would help her pass on more news. However, she did not expect that Zheng Shilin would take the initiative to do this. In addition to being surprised, Shen Yanhan felt that she had impure motives and Not as guilty as he was aboveboard.

This time, she smiled at him more sincerely: "Thank you Zheng Sanlang."

Her eyes were bright, her face was gorgeous, and her smile was dazzling. It was like a beautiful, dizzying light shining directly on his eyelids. Zheng Shilin turned his face uncomfortably and said, "You're welcome."

After a long silence, Zheng Shilin couldn't help but want to know more about her and asked, "What did your aunt do?"

When Zheng Shilin and Zhao Si mentioned her family's affairs, it would no longer be a secret. Shen Yanhan stopped covering up in front of Zheng Shilin and recounted Wen Rong's murder of her mother.

The two walked in the ice and snow, leaving two long strings of footprints behind them. Listening to Shen Yanhan's story about the Shen family, Zheng Sanlang's not-so-delicate heart seemed to have been stuffed with piles of cotton wool. .

He looked at Shen Yanhan's side face which was slightly red from walking in a hurry and talking, and when he heard the pain and suffering she had endured, he felt a strange emotion.

This emotion spread all of a sudden, making his heart ache.

Shen Yanhan was talking about the matter, and did not notice the change in the way the husband next to her looked at her. She just mentioned Wen Rong again about harming her mother and younger brother, and she couldn't help but get hot in her eyes.

Seeing her shoulders trembling slightly and her expression forlorn, Zheng Shilin restrained himself from losing his mind and hugged her. He only clenched his fists and said firmly: "She will have her retribution."

Thinking that the Lin'an government office is now in the hands of the eldest prince who is on the same road as Qin Hui, and it is still unknown when Zhao Si can truly return to the government office to administer justice, Shen Yanhan took a deep breath: "I hope so."

*
Shen Yanhan wanted to ask Zheng Shilin for help, but she didn't realize that this was meaningless.

Because within a few days, someone else was actually in charge of the Lin'an Mansion.

*
As soon as the Dengwen drum was beaten, the news that the refugees died of frostbite but the Lin'an government office turned a deaf ear quickly spread throughout the court.

Zhao You has always cared about face the most. Such a shameful thing happened under his nose, and he was working under his son who had just been promoted to serve. You can imagine how dark his face turned after hearing the news.

The incident happened so suddenly that Zhao Yuankang, who had only been the governor for a day, was called to Zhao You early in the morning. He glanced fearfully at the emperor who had always remained silent, neither opening nor shutting up. He was anxious. Sweat broke out on his forehead.

After a long while, Zhao You finally spoke, but the question was not about the government office: "Where were you last night? What did you do?"

Zhao Yuankang saluted again, knowing that he could not hide it from others, so he said politely: "Yesterday was the birthday of the Prime Minister's wife. Grandma remembered that she had served her in Beidi, so she sent her son to send a congratulatory gift. I was at the Prime Minister's Mansion. After attending the banquet, we returned to Ouchi before the palace gate closed."

Empress Dowager Wei and Wang Qiong were both kidnapped by the Jin, and they had some special feelings for each other. The reason Zhao Yuankang said was understandable, but unfortunately, in the past two days, Zhao Youzheng received news about the leak of the historical annals edited by Qin Xi.

In that booklet, the contribution of Qin Hui and his wife in bringing Empress Dowager Wei and others back to the Zhou Dynasty from the clutches of Da Jin was praised again and again; in order to successfully negotiate peace with Da Jin, there were complaints among the public after Yue Fei and other generals were killed, but It all fell on him alone, and Qin Hui, who had made the original plan, was not mentioned at all.

The credit belongs to the ministers, and the infamy belongs to the emperor. Anyone who takes a look at it will find it ridiculous.

He clearly had not published the booklet, but he heard that it had been circulated among the people in the past two days. Who was adding fuel to the flames? He would not have thought that it was the individuals who could benefit from it.

Thinking of this, Zhao You sneered in his heart. Looking at the eldest son in front of him who ran to Prime Minister Qin's mansion whenever he had something to do, he felt like an "unfamiliar white-eyed wolf".

But he didn't show it on his face. He even exhaled and slowed down his tone before saying, "Oh, it's Mrs. Xiangguo's birthday."

Zhao Yuankang secretly vented his worries and excused himself: "Exactly, that's why my son resigned from the government office on time. Later, he returned to the palace, and he didn't know anyone had gone to the government office."

Zhao You nodded and asked, "How lively was the banquet?"

Zhao Yuankang said truthfully: "Because we are celebrating our 60th birthday, the banquet was held for sixty tables."

What a big stage.

Zhao You nodded again and waved his hand to Zhao Yuankang to step back, "Just go back and take charge."

Zhao Yuankang couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that he was not punished when he was called here. He even asked him to go back to duty as if nothing had happened. He hesitated when he went out.

Zhao You saw him standing still, as if he hadn't seen him, and started to read a booklet beside him.

This piece of information was handed over early in the morning by Yu Yunwen, Zhang Jun's former disciple and now Minister of War, and it was related to the bandits in the Huaihe River.

The more Zhao You looked, the higher his frown became.

After a long while, Zhao Yuankang finally summoned up the courage and prepared to apologize to Zhao You: "Dad..."

However, he was suddenly interrupted by Zhao You.

Zhao You slapped the folder in his hand on the table and said angrily: "I told you to get out, you are deaf!"

Zhao Yuankang shrank his head and ran away as if his footsteps were like wind.

After Zhao Yuankang left, Wang Ji came to see Zhao You on time.

Seeing Zhao You's face full of anger, Wang Ji wisely did not say any nonsense and only focused on Zhao You's body.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the mountain bandits' book on the imperial case and the word "Wang Qiong", and Wang Ji's heart jumped suddenly.

Seeing that he was serving him well, Zhao You took the initiative and said, "Have you heard about the refugees beating the drum?"

Wang Ji nodded and said, "The house that the officials gave to their ministers is on the east side of Denwen Drum Courtyard. I saw it when I came here."

Zhao You sighed: "Such a trivial matter has reached the imperial court. Kang'er cannot handle the affairs of Lin'an Prefecture alone."

Hearing this, he knew that Zhao You had something in mind, but Wang Ji didn't answer.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhao You said again: "According to you, where should I get some people to help? From your own family?"

Only then did he see the word "Wang Qiong" on the booklet, and he knew exactly who his wealth came from. Wang Ji tried to figure out Zhao You's true thoughts several times, and knew that he was interested in the Wang family, so he replied: " There are so many talented people in the court, and the officials hold imperial examinations every year, and talented people come out in large numbers, why can't we select talented people?"

After Zhao You was silent for two breaths, he smiled happily.

After Wang Ji came out of Ouchi, he looked back at the palace wall of Ouchi for a long time. His entourage asked him in confusion: "What are you looking at, sir?"

Wang Ji stroked his beard and said, "Look at the snow on the wall. Is it disappearing here and growing, or growing and disappearing?"

The attendant didn't know what it meant and looked confused.

*
The next day, when Qin Yuehuai was on duty, Li Ye greeted him again and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brother Qi!"

Qin Yuehuai said confusedly: "I wonder why Brother Li said this?"

For a moment, he couldn't think of anything worthy of congratulations about him, but he remembered that Li Ye had followed him for a long time after he told him that he had a favorite young lady, so he wondered if he had caught him going out with Shen Yanhan, so he Then suddenly I heard someone behind me say: "From now on, we should all call you 'Qi Shaofu Yin'."

Shaofu Yin.

Qin Yuehuai couldn't help but feel tight in his heart.

It is true that the position of "Shaofu Yin" is already a very important position for him who has just entered the officialdom. However, every government in the Zhou Dynasty has the position of Shaofu Yin. If he is sent to serve somewhere far away from Kyoto, he All promising efforts here will undoubtedly come to an abrupt end.

This is true for public affairs, and it is also true for private affairs.

Qin Yuehuai was full of anxiety, but there was no trace of it on his face. He turned around and saluted Chengzhi, the most senior Hanlin scholar, and said, "I wonder what Huang Chengzhi said?"

Huang Chengzhi said: "The eldest prince has appointed several people from the Ministry of Personnel to serve in the Lin'an Prefecture. Congratulations to Qi Shaofu Yin."

Qin Yuehuai raised his eyes in surprise and met Huang Chengzhi's gaze. Huang Chengzhi looked at him with a hint of meaningfulness.

Li Ye sighed at the side: "You are promoted so quickly, you are No. 1."

This is true, Hanlin bachelors are all born from Jinshi. This dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty placed great emphasis on imperial examinations. There is a round of provincial examinations and palace examinations every year. Jinshis are born every year and are assigned to Hanlin Academy. Now there are 14 bachelors in the entire academy. , according to the previous situation, they would only take up other posts after three years of service. It is really unusual for Qi Yan to be transferred out within half a year of entering the Hanlin Academy.

What surprised Qin Yuehuai at this moment was not the speed of promotion, but the fact that he never expected that Zhao Yuankang would point him in the head.

He, "Qi Yan", is the number one scholar this year, and is a disciple of the emperor. Logically speaking, the decision on promotion should be made now. Zhao Yuankang only has the power at the beginning, so he will be selected anyway.In addition, he also has a sensitive identity - Zhang Jun's distant relative.

This identity was clearly written into the files of the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhao Yuankang, who went to the Ministry of Personnel to transfer people, would not miss it.

Isn't Zhao Yuankang attached to Qin Hui? Why is this so?

There are all kinds of questions in my mind, but the stone in my mind about whether to take a job in another place has finally fallen, and the Lin'an Prefecture's Shaofu Yin is really a good position to do things.

Qin Yuehuai was also satisfied that his risk of becoming an official had paid off, and his colleagues congratulated him one after another. He bowed to his colleagues one by one and thanked him for the sunshine.

Li Ye's mood was quite complicated: This man is so outstanding, but he has never been married to his younger sister. His Li family can be considered a prestigious family in Lin'an Mansion. If he doesn't take another chance before he takes office, I'm afraid there will be fewer opportunities in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Ye said to his colleagues: "It's such a good thing, why don't we go to the 'Tingfeng Tea House' to celebrate Brother Qi after work today? It can be regarded as a symbolic act for him."

The Young Master Yin of Lin'an Prefecture is in charge of the territory of Kyoto. If something happens to his family in the future, he will inevitably have to deal with him. There is no harm in making acquaintance in advance, and everyone will naturally be fine.

Qin Yuehuai couldn't avoid it and nodded in agreement.

After getting off duty, everyone from the Hanlin Academy arrived at Tingfeng Tea House in a hurry.

Although Qin Yuehuai was used to seeing big scenes as a child, this was the first time in his adult life that he had to face official entertainment. After a lot of talking, he was quite tired.

While everyone was changing glasses, he found an excuse to go to the toilet and got up and went to the next room to get some fresh air.

I rubbed my brows and pushed open the window. Unexpectedly, I heard a voice downstairs saying: "There is always food to be eaten. Let me treat you."

Another voice buzzed in response: "I've eaten."

At first the man couldn't help but said: "How many grains of rice do you think you can eat? Come in quickly."

Qin Yuehuai frowned and stepped out after hearing the sound. However, as he was going out, he saw Li Ye who had just been eating in another room. At this moment, there was a strange woman standing next to him.

Seeing Qin Yuehuai, Li Ye's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Qi is here."

Qin Yuehuai nodded. Before he could speak, he heard Li Ye introduce: "Oh, this is my little sister. By coincidence, she is eating here too."

Colleagues came out one after another, asking who was coming.

Qin Yuehuai breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

When Shen Yanhan and Zheng Shilin came upstairs, what they saw was a group of Hanlin bachelors gathered in the middle, and a young lady saluted politely: "Li Ru has met Qi Langjun."

In his peripheral vision, he saw a familiar hem of a flower-embroidered skirt. Qin Yuehuai turned his head and met Shen Yanhan's eyes, and then they both quickly moved away.

One fell on the shy face of Li Ru, and the other fell on the face of Zheng Shilin with affectionate eyes.

　After being locked up for a few days, it was finally released.
