Hearing that Shen Congxing wanted to apologize, King Huan was a little undecided. Normally it would be best to apologize in the past, and the matter would definitely be resolved! You can also take the opportunity to ease the relationship!
But King Huan felt a little resentful if he really apologized. He felt that Xu Wenhui had made a fuss out of a molehill. If Baba came to apologize, it would seem to be a loss of status. After all, Shen Congxing was his biological uncle. If he really apologized, he would be looked down upon!
Unable to make up his mind for a moment, King Huan couldn't help but ponder!

At this moment, bursts of quarrels and noises suddenly came from the courtyard!
Shen Congxing was about to send someone to ask what was going on.

I saw the housekeeper running over in a hurry.

But when he saw King Huan present, the housekeeper was a little hesitant whether he should say anything or not!
As soon as he saw the butler's appearance, Shen Congxing immediately darkened his face. You idiot, why are you hesitating when you see Prince Huan here? Isn’t this trying to drive a wedge between me and my nephew? He immediately pointed at the housekeeper and cursed:

"You bastard! What does Prince Huan have to do with me? Why don't you tell me what happened!"

When the housekeeper heard this, he also knew that he hesitated and got into trouble. He quickly touched the sweat on his forehead and said with fear:

"My lord, please forgive me, King Huan, please forgive me! Something big has happened! I lost my mind for a moment..."

"Okay, okay, stop inking and tell me what happened!"

"That's right, General Zheng and the others are having a quarrel!"

General Zheng was the general brought over from Yuzhou by Shen Congxing. What the housekeeper meant was that the Yuzhou group had a quarrel with other guests!

"What? You bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Shen Congxing screamed secretly when he heard this. He was really afraid of what he was going to do!
I'm afraid that Yuzhou and Bianjing, the nobles, are not in good terms, but they were born here!

King Huan also looked ugly. People like Bianjing looked down on the generals from Yuzhou. To put it bluntly, they looked down on their father and son to some extent.
If he and Emperor Zhao Zongquan hold real power, how dare these people show shame to their own henchmen!
The situation was urgent, and King Huan and Shen Congxing ran inside without even bothering to ask about the specific situation!

No matter what, this matter must be resolved quickly. If it gets too big, that's okay!
……

Xu Wenhui didn’t know that he had left until he returned home at night.
The quarrel between the noble generals from Bianjing and the gang from Yuzhou!

Speaking of which, this has something to do with Xu Wenhui.

It seems that some people knew that he was looked down upon by the Shen family, so naturally some people fought against him and fawned over him, and made some weird and disdainful remarks that the generals of Yuzhou would not listen to!
Those people in Yuzhou are also holding their breath.

So the two sides started to quarrel, and the quarrel got louder and louder. They were bloody men with bad tempers, and they almost started fighting!

Fortunately, King Huan arrived in time and the matter did not become a big deal!

However, after such a fuss, the Shen family's first appearance on behalf of Yuzhou was considered a failure!
The gap between the old forces like Bianjing and people like Yuzhou is getting bigger and bigger!
Xu Wenhui originally thought about going to the palace to express his apology to Emperor Zhao Zongquan in a few days.
This happened,

I had to go to the palace the next day.
Please excuse me once before Zhao Zongquan! After all, it was just such a small thing that it didn't matter. This almost caused a fuss, and it was a loss of face for the royal family!

It’s not easy to get through without asking for forgiveness!
Xu Wenhui's attitude was very low this time, and later he took the initiative to bring up Xu Wenzhao's marriage. Naturally, Zhao Zongquan would not criticize him harshly. Both parties had concerns.

So this matter went smoothly and I was fined some salary, and it was settled!
The young lady from the Zou family and her brother were also sent back to Yuzhou by Zhao Zongquan. Probably in addition to showing their kindness to Xu Wenhui, they were also afraid that such an idiot would cause trouble!
……

blink of an eye,

A few more days passed,
The sweet-scented osmanthus in the backyard is blooming,
The house made some sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Because my aunt said before that she was thinking about this one!
So after finishing today,
Xu Wenhui happened to have nothing to do, so he was going to visit Sheng's house and brought some for her!
Just arrived at the door of Sheng's house,

Xu Wenhui got off the carriage,
I saw it was very noisy at the entrance of Sheng's house.

There are many servants, carrying large and small bags inside! Like who is moving!
Xu Wenhui is still wondering,
Sheng Changfeng, who was directing his subordinates to work at the door, saw Xu Wenhui.
He immediately ran over excitedly,

"Haha, I saw it was you, cousin, from a distance. Why are you here today? Come on, please come inside! Please come inside!"

"Oh, it's Chang Feng!"

When Xu Wenhui saw Sheng Changfeng, he nodded with a smile, winked at the moving crowd, and asked curiously:
"What's going on? It's so noisy. Are relatives here?"

When Xu Wenhui asked this, the excitement on Sheng Changfeng's face immediately subsided, and he hesitated and responded awkwardly:

"That's what, it's not a relative, it's my fourth sister... it's... it's her salute..."

"Oh...that's it! I almost forgot it was today!"

When Xu Wenhui heard this, he suddenly realized that Mo Lan was returning home from the Gu family today!

Yes, I almost forgot that the Gu family's case was closed today!
After the Gu family case was settled, the blockade was lifted. Now that Mo Lan and Gu Tingye have reconciled, they are naturally not suitable to live in the Gu family anymore. It seems they are moving back to their parents' home!

Needless to say, the fourth branch of the Gu family was a direct participant in the rebellion. Gu Tingbing, who was more involved, made the decision.
The old man in the fourth room was deceived by Gu Tingbing. He was to a lesser extent than Gu Tingbing, so he was sentenced to be sent to the army!
As for the Gu family’s first and fifth bedrooms, it’s true that they didn’t participate!

No conclusive evidence was found!

However, the Gu family was also one of the places where the rebellion occurred.

It is inevitable that the melons and plums will fall apart, so although there is no other evidence of rebellion in the fifth and fifth houses of Dafang, Gu Tingye even made some meritorious deeds!
But this time, a layer of skin was shed, and the title of Marquis Ning Yuan was reduced to Uncle Ning Yuan!

All the people in office have also been dismissed from office this time, and the officialdom has been cleaned up! As for the candidate for the title, it has not been determined yet!
Still need to discuss!

But all in all, the outcome of the Gu family is not bad. Although the title has been lowered by one level, they have to keep a low profile for a while, and they have no official status!
But after all, he is still in the noble circle and has not fallen out!

Mo Lan and Gu Tingye's reconciliation was somewhat of a miscalculation!
Sheng Changfeng was probably very embarrassed about the reconciliation between Mo Lan and Gu Tingye, so he was embarrassed to say more. After speaking, he immediately made a gesture of invitation and said anxiously:

"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. Cousin, please come in and let's go inside to chat. It's so noisy and uncomfortable outside!"

Guests and hosts do as they please, Xu Wenhui also nodded slightly,

"Okay, let's go! Let's go directly to Shou'an Hall. The osmanthus flowers in the back garden of our house are blooming. I brought some osmanthus cakes to my great-aunt that she likes!"

"Oh, yes, grandma will be happy to know this. She was telling us before that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made in the house is the most delicious! Cousin, can you let me try it later?"

"Haha, of course there is no problem! By the way, Chang Feng, Enko is coming, and I heard that you will also end up this time. How is it? How is your homework review?"

"Hey, cousin, you are still concerned about my studies. Just look at it. I am very sure that I will be on the list this time!"

"Okay! If you're ambitious, then cousin, I'm waiting to eat your wedding wine!"

The two of them were chatting while walking inside. Sheng Changfeng also sent someone inside to notify Sheng Hong and the old lady in the backyard!
When I arrived at Shou'antang,
Mrs. Sheng, Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu,

Rulan, Minglan, and even Hai Chaoyun are already waiting at Shouan Hall!

When everyone meets, it is inevitable to exchange pleasantries.
When Xu Wenhui took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Mrs. Sheng was very happy and thought about it.
Then I asked the small kitchen to cut it up and share it with everyone!

Everyone was eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake and chatting.
When Xu Wenhui saw that Sheng Changbai was not there, he looked at Sheng Hong and asked:
"Cousin, why haven't you seen Zicheng? Don't they have a rest in the Hanlin Academy today?"

After hearing Xu Wenhui ask about his son, Sheng Hong stroked his beard and said with a satisfied smile:

"Haha, it was originally Xiu Mu's! Aren't the officials going to add Enke soon? Their Hanlin Academy will also allocate some people to help come up with questions for the officials to select!
This imperial examination question is a top-notch matter that needs to be kept secret, so Bai'er can't go home these days! "

Xu Wenhui had heard that some officials of the Hanlin Academy helped to come up with the questions, but he did not expect that Sheng Changbai would also be selected. Hearing this, he smiled and said:
"It seems like gold shines wherever it goes. As far as I know, not all officials in the Hanlin Academy are qualified to participate in setting questions! I think after Enke's passing this time, Zecheng's rank may have to be improved. Mentioned! I’m here to congratulate my cousin in advance!”

The imperial examination has always been a big deal. As long as you participate in it, you will be promoted. Xu Wenhui scratched Sheng Hong's itch when he said this. The dimples on his cheeks came out when he smiled. However, Sheng Hong still waved his hand. He said humbly:
"Oh, no, no! It's not that bad! Bai'er still needs experience at such a young age! Let me tell you, it's better to be his editor! Although his rank is not high, the work is light, and he can still find time to study and study. ! There’s no harm in settling in!”

While joking, Sheng Hong looked at his daughter-in-law Hai Chaoyun with great satisfaction! And the more I look at it, the more satisfied I am with this marriage!

Speaking of Sheng Changbai's own talent, it is one aspect, and his personal connections are also another aspect!

Academician Li of the Hanlin Academy was a disciple of uncle Hai Chaoyun. When Sheng Changbai ran errands under his command, everything went smoothly and he couldn't get any benefits!
Xu Wenhui naturally saw Sheng Hong's little moves and probably knew what was going on!
In my heart, I lamented that although this old boy Sheng Hong spoiled his concubine, destroyed his wife, and made the family uneasy, he was really not confused about such a big matter!
Finding a marriage for Sheng Changbai from the Hai family was a real win! From now on, Sheng Changbai will be able to have a prosperous official career, and it is indispensable for the Hai family to take care of him!

At this time, Wang Ruofu was probably dissatisfied with Sheng Hong's humble words, so he interrupted with an unhappy face:
"Oh, what are you still trying to accumulate? I have been studying and studying for so many years, and now I am an official and I am still studying! Wouldn't it make me stupid if I study any more! If you ask me to turn around, I'd better change my job!" said Wang Ruofu He turned around and looked at his daughter-in-law Hai Chaoyun very kindly.
"Chaoyun, tell your father later, give our Bai'er a different job! It's not the same thing to stay in the same place all the time! I heard that the young master of Qi Guogong's family I’m now in charge of the Criminal Department! We’re all from the same term, so we can’t be any worse than others!”

Speaking of which, it is true that people with different fates have different fates, and officials and officials have two different opinions!
Back then, the Duke of Qi had verbally agreed on a marriage contract with Rong Xian. It was supposed to be related to rebellion!

It’s almost the same as the Gu family,

However, Princess Pingning and the Queen Mother have a 'mother and daughter' relationship, and the Duke of Qi is considered one of the Queen Mother's own.
Now that the Queen Mother is in charge of the Jade Seal, she needs the help of the Qi family in the court to listen to politics behind the curtain!

Therefore, the engagement between the Duke of Qi and Rong Xian was said to be a temporary solution and a model of enduring humiliation and burden.

This time, not only was everything fine with Duke Qi, Qi Heng was promoted to a higher level and became the head of the sixth rank!
I don’t know how many times better than the Gu family!
Closer to home,
When Hai Chaoyun heard that her mother-in-law asked her to go back to her parents' home to work for her husband in front of so many people, she
Immediately I was a little bit confused. After I stood up, it didn’t matter whether I agreed or not!

"This……"

She pondered for a moment and couldn't help but look at her father-in-law, Sheng Hong. She knew that her father-in-law would definitely not let her mother-in-law say such nonsense!
Sure enough, Sheng Hong immediately lowered his face, stared at Wang Ruofu in a vague way and said:
"What do you know! Do you think this job can be exchanged? You think the court is run by your family! Okay, don't get involved in this matter in the future!"

After saying that, Sheng Hong turned around and looked at Xu Wenhui embarrassedly.
"Haha, my dear nephew, it worked for you!"

Xu Wenhui shook his head and said with a smile:

"No, my cousin just has a loving heart, it's human nature!"

"That's right! Look at what Hui'er said, it makes people happy to hear it!"

Hearing Xu Wenhui speak for him, Wang Ruofu couldn't help but be very satisfied. He glanced at Sheng Hong, then looked at Xu Wenhui as if he had thought of something, and smiled expectantly:
"By the way, Hui'er! A few days ago, your mother asked someone to count the days between you and Ming'er. I thought that the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month would be the best, and I also asked someone to look at it! She said it was based on the number of days between you and Ming'er. According to your birthday, if you get married on that day, you and Ming'er will definitely get a boy in one fell swoop, and everything will go well!"

As soon as Wang Ruofu said these words, he felt a little embarrassed!

Everyone knows what Wang Ruofu is busy with these days!
So Wang Ruofu said this out of selfishness. She didn't think that day was the best, but that the time on that day was the last!

During these days, Sheng Hong brought many sons to his home for Wang Ruofu to choose a husband for Ru Lan!
None of them satisfied Wang Ruofu, so Wang Ruofu wanted to delay the marriage between Xu Wenhui and Minglan as long as possible, leaving more time for her to choose a satisfactory husband for Ru Lan!
Rulan often heard her mother complain these days, so she naturally knew what her mother meant.
Suddenly I felt a little ashamed and angry, and wanted to stand up and object!

But Minglan, who was sitting next to her, saw what Rulan meant and quickly reached out to hold Rulan's arm, shaking her head at her to signal not to be impulsive! (End of chapter)
