Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 68 Heading to the Ministry of Officials
Lin Cunde chatted with his grandfather and uncle, and Ye chatted with Zeng. It was late at night, and Lin Cunde asked his servants to take them to rest.

Early the next morning, after Lin Cunde woke up, he continued his routine as usual. After breakfast, Lin Cunde took his grandfather, uncle, second brother, fourth brother, and fourth sister-in-law to the suburbs to pay homage to his father. My mother, brother, grandfather and uncle couldn't help but cry. Lin Cunde and Lin Cunyi also kept trying to persuade me.

It was almost noon when we arrived home, and Wang Ying also received the news and came to Lin Cunde's residence.

After seeing Lin Cunde's grandfather, he hurriedly came over to pay tribute. There was no problem with his grandfather receiving people and treating him with things.

After arriving in the living room, Wang Ying took her grandfather's hand and said: "Tomorrow at noon, I will invite my uncle and his entourage to my mansion. I want to invite you. Now that Xiangfeng is not here, as his friend, I will I should take good care of you!"

"Master Wang, you are serious. Xiangfeng is lucky to have a friend like you! We won't go there tomorrow. It's unlucky. You can come to see us, which is a great respect for us. Moreover, last night I also heard Xiao Wu say that without your help, Xiao Wu would never have had such an easy time in the capital. Please teach Xiao Wu more in the future!" Grandfather sat there and waved his hand.

"Uncle, that's not what I said. It's auspicious or unlucky. My nephew can't go anywhere else. You can still go. That's it. I'll send someone to pick you up at noon tomorrow. Even my family members, I won't go. Invite outsiders, just me and my wife, along with my second daughter and son, for a homely meal. Uncle, you must go, otherwise, Xiangfeng will definitely blame me!" Wang Ying still insisted on inviting them to dinner.

"Here, don't bother so much. It's great if you can come!" Grandfather was still a little reluctant to go. After all, the difference was too big.

The uncle Lin Xianglong also quickly said to Wang Ying: "Don't go to such trouble. If you call us, we will eat it. My father has been in a bad mood and in poor health these past few days, so he doesn't move around much!"

Wang Ying didn't think so, but looked at Lin Cunde and said: "Xiannephew, please advise them, they are too alienated, and I am not an outsider, right?"

"Okay!" Lin Cunde smiled, and then said to his grandfather and uncle: "You guys should go there. We really shouldn't be so separated. Uncle Shi is very good to me and my father!"

The reason why Lin Cunde said this was because he believed that the two families needed to move around. He lost his parents, but he still had his grandfather. If the two families really wanted to go a long way, it was necessary for the family members to move around. Moreover, Wang Ying said this, if he If you don't agree, it will make Wang Ying think that she doesn't regard him as one of her own, which is too alien.

"Look, all the good nephews said this, I will send my son to greet you at noon tomorrow, that's it!" Wang Ying said to her grandfather at this moment.

"Well, then it's better to be respectful than to obey. I'm sorry for bothering you. You're so kind to Xiao Wu. I'm ashamed of myself!" Grandfather also immediately said with his hand.

Wang Ying waved her hands and said: "Uncle, don't say that. Xiaowu also helped me a lot. There are some things that I can't tell you, but I can tell you clearly, uncle, I recognize my nephew as my son-in-law!"
My wife said the same thing!Just ask Xiao Wu about how my daughter is with him, so I won’t go into details. In short, uncle, we are a family. When you come to the capital, you can come to my house and sit there. There is no need to be so alienated. ! "

"Okay, okay!" Grandfather nodded happily.

After chatting for a while, Wang Ying helped her grandfather to eat in the dining room. After dinner, Lin Cunde, Wang Ying, grandfather, and uncle sat in the study and drank tea.

"My dear nephew, you have to go to the palace the day after tomorrow. Remember to go after Chen hour and go directly to the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Official Affairs will announce the reward for you!

This news will probably be delivered this afternoon!Your position has also been decided, and you will be the Governor of the Fifth Army. The day after tomorrow, you will come with me to the Fifth Army Camp to see how they are training. I still want to listen to your suggestions! "Wang Ying sat down and said to Lin Cunde.

"Is there going to be a reward? Okay, I'll go there the morning after tomorrow. It's just Shibo. Can I go to the fifth military camp? Will I be impeached?" Lin Cunde looked at Wang Ying in embarrassment when he heard this.

"Who dares to impeach? Besides, you also need to go there to report, right? Even though you don't pay attention to the situation, you still need to go there to report. From now on, you will go there once every month to help me take a look. If you have any suggestions, just mention them!" Wang Ying immediately said to Lin Cunde.

"That's okay, but I don't quite understand it. Let's see if it works!" Lin Cunde immediately said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, you are in my hands, so what are you afraid of? If you are in the hands of others, I will worry about others making things difficult for you!" Wang Ying also said happily. He just liked Lin Cunde, especially the ideas that Lin Cunde came up with.

Now Zhu Qiyu can be said to have controlled most of the power, and those ministers have begun to join him and assist him wholeheartedly. As for the third battalion of the capital, Zhu Qiyu controls most of them. Those thousands and hundreds of households were all promoted by Zhu Qiyu and led the army. Those people are either high-ranking generals or nobles. They are now submitting to Zhu Qiyu. It doesn't matter if they don't. Zhu Qiyu can evade them at any time.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhu Qiyu was also focused on cleaning up the court officials and implementing his own benevolent policy.

In the palace, Wang Meilin also brought in a group of father-in-law and maidens. Needless to say, these people must be towards Wang Meilin. Moreover, during this period, the Queen Mother Sun of Kangshou Palace was much more honest. Wang Meilin knew that she was not willing to give in, and he also knew that she Something must be done, but Wang Meilin is no longer afraid of her.

Today, Wang Meilin is just raising the baby with peace of mind and handling the affairs of the inner palace.

In the inner palace, nothing can be done without Wang Meilin's consent.

Wang Ying sat here chatting for a while and then went back. Before going back, she did not forget to tell her grandfather that he must come over tomorrow and call his uncle, second brother and fourth brother to go.

Grandfather could only nod in agreement. It would be inappropriate to refuse such a warm invitation. "Master Wang is quite good to you and us!" Grandfather returned to the tea table and said to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde nodded and said: "Yes, it's okay. If you go tomorrow, you'll be in trouble if you don't go. I did help him a lot!"

"That's good. Will you be appointed an official the day after tomorrow? Okay, that's good. The day after tomorrow, change into decent clothes and bring some money with you! Just in case of emergencies!" Grandfather told Lin Cunde.

"Okay, don't worry, it's okay!" Lin Cunde smiled and nodded.

In the afternoon, someone from the Ministry of Personnel indeed informed me that I should report to the Ministry of Personnel the next day. The Ministry of Personnel would appoint me as an official and bring my certificate with me.

Lin Cunde also gave some reward money to express his gratitude.

On the morning of the next day, Wang Zhi came over and personally greeted his grandfather and others. Lin Cunde also watched them go out of the gate.

In the afternoon, when my grandfather came back, he said with emotion that Wang Ying and his wife treated him very well. They brought him food many times, and the food was very soft, and they took special care of his few teeth.

The uncle also praised Wang Ying's warm reception without any sign of contempt.
Lin Cunde also smiled and agreed, as long as they were satisfied, and Wang Ying did not mean to look down on him.

The next morning, Lin Cunde changed his clothes and prepared to go to the palace.

My grandfather and uncle also kept reminding me that I should talk to the officials carefully and never offend people with my words. If you don't know how to speak, silence is better than talking nonsense. At the same time, you should be enthusiastic and respectful to those officials, and remember to be polite. ,etc.

Lin Cunde also smiled and nodded, indicating that he knew.

Soon, Lin Cunde took his second brother Lin Cunyi to the palace, riding in a carriage.

When he arrived outside the palace, Lin Cunde got off the car and walked to Zuoyemen. When he arrived at Zuoyemen, he saw Zhu Ji standing inside with a smile and waving to him.

"Brother Shang De, are you still on duty here?" Lin Cunde went over and joked with a smile. The guards at the door also looked at Lin Cunde and Zhu Ji.

"You hand the things over to them for inspection first, and I'll tell you later!" Zhu Ji said to Lin Cunde with a smile.

Lin Cunde also took out his household registration information, and at the same time took out the documents from the official department and handed them to the guard.

After the guard inspection, a body search followed. Most people who entered the palace needed to be body searched.

After the search, Zhu Ji accompanied Lin Cunde inside without saying much.

Lin Cunde wondered if something happened to Zhu Ji. If so, why not come to his house? It's not like he had never been here before?
When Zhu Ji was brought to the square, there was no one around. Zhu Ji said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has told you that if you come, you should go to the Ministry of Personnel to handle matters first. After the Ministry of Personnel handles matters, you will immediately go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Your Majesty and the Queen will Waiting for you over there!”

"Ah?" After hearing this, Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Ji in surprise, and Zhu Ji nodded affirmatively at Lin Cunde.

"But what's the matter?" Lin Cunde asked still a little confused.

"How did I know this? Anyway, that's what your Majesty and the Queen said. The Queen also specially ordered the people below to prepare a sumptuous lunch. You can eat in the palace at noon!" Zhu Ji looked at Lin Cunde enviously and said .

I really don't know why His Majesty and the Queen value him so much. Not only are they two of them, but also his father-in-law. This time, Yu Qian wants to compete with Wang Ying for Lin Cunde and file a lawsuit before His Majesty. Your Majesty lets Lin Cunde go to the Chinese Army. The Governor's Mansion, instead of going to the Ministry of War. '

The last time my father-in-law met Lin Cunde, he said this to himself: "Lin Cunde is a capable person. You can't go wrong if you play with this person more often!"

The other words were not mentioned, and it was not said whether he was the person behind His Majesty and the Queen, but Zhu Ji guessed that it was [-]% true, otherwise his father-in-law would not have said that.

"Okay, then I'll go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take care of things first, and then go to the palace. By the way, you send someone outside and tell my second brother that I won't go back for lunch at noon, and let him go back first. In the afternoon Just come and pick me up!" Lin Cunde could only agree, although he had doubts in his heart. Since His Majesty invited him, it would be fine if he didn't go.
