When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she said "Oh" thoughtfully and said no more!

When it comes to the marriage between the official family and the Xu family, she can't say much!
Xu Wenhui glanced at Sheng Hong. The old boy first laughed at himself for being a mere fifth-rank official, and then said that Zheng Bowen had a bright future. Could it be that he was jealous because of his promotion? Want to take the opportunity to make more progress?
Or is this old boy still testing himself, trying to see his attitude towards the emperor and the queen mother?

Or maybe both!
No matter what Sheng Hong meant, Xu Wenhui neither wanted to care about Sheng Hong's career nor would he say anything.
In fact, if the Queen Mother had not ended up competing with the Emperor for the British public marriage,

Originally, it was normal for a new emperor to marry a noble minister, and no one would think twice about it!
But when the Queen Mother disrupted the situation, everyone turned their attention to these married ministers.

I wonder if these people are fighting against each other!

Xu Wenhui didn't care about these opinions, because he knew that Queen Mother Cao would not stop the marriage between other families and the emperor!

These are just the speculations of the people below.

Said casually:

"Yes, there is such a thing. This matter was decided by the second uncle and the second aunt. Although our two rooms are still living in the Hou Mansion, in fact, we have already separated the two rooms and now we live in our own way! The second uncle and the others want to give it to the hall. In fact, we can’t control what kind of brother you find, just let him be!

But I have also heard of the young lady from the Zheng family. She is quite good. My second uncle and the others are very satisfied! As long as they are satisfied, I have no problem with it! "

Zheng Bowen is considered to be a young and powerful man among the generals in Yuzhou!
It can be said that Zhao Zongquan's status is second only to Shen Congying! It's just that he didn't make any great achievements this time, and he's not like the uncle of the state like Shen Congxing!

He can't be promoted beyond the next level, and now he's just a sixth-grade young general, but with the emperor's back, he has a lot of chances to be promoted in the future, so he is considered a potential stock!

Moreover, Zheng Bowen’s younger sister Zheng Xinyi is also rare among the family ladies in Yuzhou to be quiet and well-behaved.
Zhao Zongquan was afraid that what happened to the Zou family would happen again, so he specifically made Zheng Xinyi his marriage partner this time!

Seeing that Sheng Hong seemed to be asking more questions, Mrs. Sheng felt a little unhappy, so she interrupted a step ahead:

"Well, that's the truth. After all, Hui'er, you are the person in the next room. It's better to let the second wife make their own decisions about their marriage! Don't get involved, otherwise others will have to look for you if they are unhappy in the future! "

"What my great aunt said is a perfect match, and the child thinks so too!" When Xu Wenhui answered, he looked at Sheng Hong thoughtfully!
Sheng Hong looked a little embarrassed. In fact, he had no other intention, he just wanted to test it!

Seeing that Xu Wenhui didn't seem willing to say more, he didn't feel like asking any more questions, so he quickly picked up the teacup and drank tea while saying haha!

At this moment, a small sound of sobbing suddenly came from the side.
Xu Wenhui heard the sound and looked over. It was Mo Lan standing behind Sheng Hong, covering his mouth with a handkerchief and crying in a low voice!
Sheng Hong naturally heard the commotion, smiled awkwardly at Xu Wenhui, then turned to look at Mo Lan and scolded in a low voice:
"There are so many guests here, what are you doing?"

Mo Lan pretended to be flustered when she heard this, wiped her tears, and then quickly apologized to the guest Xu Wenhui.
"I'm sorry, cousin, Mo'er is really rude. Suddenly hearing other people's wedding announcements, Mo'er thought about how he is now... feeling a little sad!"

Mo Lan had been waiting for the opportunity to interrupt, and when she saw a gap in the conversation, she naturally started to perform!

When Xu Wenhui saw that Mo Lan did not talk to Sheng Hong, but instead apologized to him, he knew that Mo Lan probably had something to ask of him.
So I deliberately didn't say anything, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, just pretending that I didn't hear him!
Wang Ruofu, who happened to have heard the news at this time, came in. When he heard this, he immediately answered:
"Haha, what do you have to feel about? Didn't you agree to divorce yourself? Now you have the nerve to cry! Who are you showing this to?"

After scolding Mo Lan, Wang Ruofu turned to look at Xu Wenhui and said apologetically:

"Hui'er, Liu Yatou has cooked some dishes in the small kitchen for you to try! I said you are a guest and it's not right to condescend to go to the kitchen, but Liu Yatou insists on letting you go. Look at this girl, it's really You’re ignorant! Oh, I can’t even care about the girl!”

Xu Wenhui understood as soon as he heard it. It was probably because Wang Ruofu didn't want him to see the joke.
But he happened to not want to stay here, so he stood up happily and said with a smile:

"Haha, Sixth Sister is probably afraid that she won't be able to taste me, so I'll try it first! My aunts, uncles and aunts, Hui'er will excuse me now!"

After saying that, he saluted Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong, and left after receiving permission!

Only a few members of the Sheng family were left to fight in Shou'an Hall!
……

I don’t know why Wang Ruofu is making trouble and why he is flirting with Mo Lan’s Xu Wenhui!

But Mo Lan was not present during lunch.
It seems that without Sheng Hong's protection, Mo Lan is no match for Wang Ruofu, the mistress!
Was blasted back to Linqi Pavilion!
in the afternoon,

After Xu Wenhui returned home,
I want to inform Liang Churan of the date when the marriage is set! Better prepare early!

Unexpectedly, Gu Tingye has been waiting in the mansion for a long time. The servant who heard the report said that Gu Tingye came at noon, and he has been waiting for a long time now!

So Xu Wenhui went to see Gu Tingye first!

As soon as they met Xu Wenhui, he said reproachfully:
"Oh, Zhong Huai! What's the relationship between us? Send someone to inform me. Isn't this waiting so long in vain! It's all my fault!"

"Hey, what are you afraid of after a while! Besides, you are going to the Sheng family, how can I have the nerve to send someone to look for you there!"

"Haha, that's right. You have nothing to do with the Sheng family now! Come and sit down, sit down and talk! Come, serve some tea! Make some good tea that I just brought back from the Sheng Mansion!"

Hearing Xu Wenhui's instructions to make tea brought from the Sheng family, Gu Tingye couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Hey, Xu Wenhui! Did you do it on purpose? Are you showing off in front of me?"

"Haha, that's not true. Didn't I just come over from Sheng's house? Cousin Sheng brought me some. It tastes really good. You can try it later!"

Gu Tingye also knew that Xu Wenhui was just a joke between friends, and there was no harm in it, so he didn't take it seriously. He just thought about how his relationship with the Sheng family had become so distant, so he sighed and said, "Hey, as it is now, I just want to go find him." Zicheng, I'm too embarrassed to go to Sheng Mansion!" At this point, Gu Tingye looked at Xu Wenhui with some complaints.
"I'd say it's all down to you. If you hadn't introduced me to the fourth girl in his family, this wouldn't have happened now!"

Xu Wenhui had a look of injustice on his face when he heard this.

"How can you blame me? You didn't take the initiative to make peace with me. Let me tell you, it's still too late for you to regret it. I went to Sheng's house today, and I think Mo Lan still wants to renew his relationship with you. If you agree, I can help you go to Sheng’s house to talk!”

Although Mo Lan didn't say anything, Xu Wenhui guessed from her appearance that she was almost inseparable!

Seeing Xu Wenhui's joking and gloating look, Gu Tingye rolled his eyes.

He now seriously doubts that Xu Wenhui did it on purpose!
When Xu Wenhui introduced Mo Lan to him even though he clearly didn't like him, he must have been uneasy and had already noticed Mo Lan's insecurity!

But now he is too lazy to say this. Gu Tingye's expression becomes serious when he thinks of the purpose of coming.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it! Bo Sheng, I came here this time to ask for an errand for me, preferably in an unstable place where I can make meritorious deeds! You also know the situation in my family. My eldest brother is in poor health. No, my third brother is unstable, so he has to rely on me. We have been brothers for so many years, so you have to help me no matter what this time!"

After the Gu family experienced this, not only was their title lowered by one level, but they also became the least powerful among the nobles of Bianjing!
Coupled with the death of Gu Yankai, Gu Tingye was also stimulated and grew a lot, and wanted to work hard to revive the family tradition!
Hearing Gu Tingye talk about business, Xu Wenhui also stopped joking and became serious,

However, Gu Tingye's affairs are difficult to arrange for the time being. No one knows whether Empress Dowager Cao still holds a grudge against the Gu family!
Although Xu Wenhui is not afraid, being targeted by the Queen Mother is still troublesome.
Thinking that Gu Tingye's reputation as a civil servant could just happen to take part in the imperial examination this time, and he had a great chance of being named on the gold list.

But hearing that Gu Tingye just wanted to join the army, Xu Wenhui was a little puzzled and said doubtfully:

"Zhonghuai, Enke, aren't you going to participate? This is the opportunity you have been looking forward to! And because of your affairs, Shibo specifically asked me to go with him to meet the late emperor, and it was finally reserved for you. Opportunity, what a pity it would be if you didn’t participate!”

Hearing Xu Wenhui talk about the imperial examination and his father Gu Yankai, Gu Tingye looked up at the void with some melancholy, but in the end he slowly shook his head and said:
"No! The title is the foundation of my Gu family! Now my Gu family has been demoted from marquis to earl! If you want to restore the glory of your ancestors, you must have military merit! As for the imperial examination, it's okay not to participate!

Bo Sheng, you must help me this time! To tell you the truth, before I came here I went to meet a few of my father’s old friends, and they all had scruples and were unwilling to help me! Now all I can count on is you! "

Seeing Gu Tingye holding on to his last hope, Xu Wenhui couldn't bear to refuse anymore.

After thinking about it, I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, and suggested:
"Zhonghuai, see if this works, Enke, you still have to participate!" Seeing Gu Tingye's face full of resistance and opening his mouth to refuse, Xu Wenhui raised his hand and said angrily:

"Don't be anxious, just wait for me to finish! When will you change your anxious temper?"

"Okay, okay, you say it, you say it!" Gu Tingye was a little embarrassed when Xu Wenhui glared at him!
Xu Wenhui did not argue with Gu Tingye and continued:

"Look, now that your family status has been taken away, I want to arrange it, but I can't arrange it for a high position!

Now the Queen Mother is still looking at your home,

At most, I can arrange for you to be in the ninth rank, and the ninth rank is amazing! Then when do you want to revitalize your Gu family?

But it’s different if you join Enke. It’s not difficult to be named on the gold list with your article!

After you are named on the gold list, you will be rewarded with an official status! It will be cheaper for us to arrange it then, don’t you think?

It was not easy for me to switch from military to civil service, but from civil service to military service, wasn’t it a piece of cake? If you think about it carefully, is this true? "

Obtaining an official status by taking the imperial examination would solve Gu Tingye's official status problem, and delay it for a while to avoid the Queen Mother's attention!
When Gu Tingye heard what Xu Wenhui said, his eyes lit up, he patted the table and cheered:
"Oh! As expected of Bo Sheng! You are so thoughtful! I was only thinking about earning military merit and revitalizing my family business, but I forgot about this shortcut! OK, OK, I will do as you say!

When I get my name on the gold list and get my official status, you have to help me make arrangements! "

After saying that, Gu Tingye suddenly thought of Empress Dowager Cao's sense of the Gu family, and couldn't help but hesitated and said with some worry:

"Bo Sheng, do you think the Queen Mother will do anything to me in the imperial examination? After all, General Cao... so I'm a little worried!"

When Xu Wenhui heard that Gu Tingye was worried about this, he shook his head repeatedly.

"No, you are just being careless. Not to mention whether the Queen Mother has that idea, even if she has that idea, the great ministers will not allow it!"

The imperial examination has always been regarded as private property by civil servants and reserved for their own use! How could the Queen Mother be allowed to intervene!
Not to mention the Queen Mother, even if the Emperor wanted to intervene, all these civil servants would be as horny as fertilized roosters! Fighting to the death!
After hearing this, Gu Tingye thought about it and felt that his scruples were a bit unnecessary, so he laughed and said:

"That's what you said. It's impossible for the Queen Mother to reach out to the imperial examination! Hey, after experiencing these things, I have become a frightened bird!
Bo Sheng! Then I’ll leave it to you! "

"Well, no problem! That's enough for us brothers! Besides, Shibo was not kind to me before. I will not stand idly by no matter what!" Xu Wenhui nodded, and when he saw the servants serving tea, he picked it up Teacup gestured to Gu Tingye,

"Come on, try it, this tea tastes really good!"

"Yeah, let me try it!" Gu Tingye settled his worries and felt a lot more relaxed. He felt that the tea tasted particularly refreshing and he couldn't help but praise it!
After taking two sips of tea, Xu Wenhui thought about Gu Tingye's affairs, had a general idea in his mind, and said:
"Zhong Huai, please see if this can work for you.

Although Xixia in the northwest is hurt by our beatings, it has been relatively stable recently!
But there are still conflicts on the Tubo side! Therefore, Xining Prefecture and Minzhou in the northwest are still relatively risky places, and generally no one wants to work there!
It is also a headache for the Ministry of officials to send people there. If the imperial examination goes well and you go there to serve as county magistrate, I will ask Wen Bin to help you and make some achievements. We will adjust it when the time comes. You see how it goes. ? "

Xu Wenbin is the leading figure of the Xu family in the northwest, and he controls the elite Dingyuan Army that Xu Wenhui left behind in the northwest!
If he helps Gu Tingye, the credit will come naturally!
When Gu Tingye heard Xu Wenhui's arrangement, he stood up and bowed deeply towards Xu Wenhui.
"Bo Sheng, thank you for your kindness! From now on, just look at Ting Ye's performance!" (End of Chapter)
