Chapter 531 Mrs. Wang: She Knows!

Daming Palace, Side Hall, Inner Study Room

After Emperor Chongping left his court, he returned to the inner study room. He did not review the memorials, but held a cup of tea cup and lowered his head to sip the fragrant tea. with.

The words "Three Kingdoms" can be seen on the blue cover. This book can almost be said to be one of the few pastime readings for Emperor Chongping when he was busy with official duties.

At this moment, Dai Quan from the Daming Palace approached and whispered, "Your Majesty, Minister of Military Aircraft Jia Heng is asking to see you outside the palace."

Emperor Chongping was surprised, his eyes were taken away from the book in his hand, he looked up, and called: "Xuan."

Not long after, Jia Heng entered the hall, paid homage to Emperor Chongping, and then said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, about Li Ge's situation in Beiping, Feige sent a letter to Jinyi Mansion. After interpreting and compiling the military information, please deliver it urgently. Yulan."

As he spoke, he raised the book in his hands, and handed it to the record in front of Emperor Chongping, and then slowly backed away.

This is the follow-up military report compiled by the generals and schools of Jinyi Mansion based on the information passed on by Fei Ge.

Emperor Chongping's eyes fell on the book in Jia Heng's hand, his heart moved, he reached out to pick it up, and read it intently.

After a while, the middle-aged emperor's cold and hard face was almost shrouded in frost, and he said in a deep voice: "Tang Kuan has been in Ji Town for several years, arrogant and arrogant, violent and cruel to the people. I have tolerated it again and again, but I have been guarding Jizhou for several years, and I have worked hard to no avail. Previously, captives from the east invaded the northern border, and even retreated in the city, sitting and watching the bandits.

Jia Heng listened to Emperor Chongping's indignant words below, expressionless.

Secretly thought, if he worked in vain in the war against the captives, he might not end up much better than Tang Kuan.

Emperor Chongping said, put the book aside, raised his head again and asked Jia Heng, and said in a low voice: "Ziyu, Jizhen is the gateway to Beiping, facing the Hulu, and now Tang Kuan is escorting him to Beijing. , but if there is someone who is interested, who should take over?"

Jia Heng's complexion was complete, with a thoughtful look on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter, I think we need to wait for Mr. Li Ge to sort out the personnel affairs in Peiping before making any calculations. Most of the generals in Beijing are not familiar with the enemy's situation and need to be screened. .”

Li Zan, as the commander-in-chief of the north, is in charge of the personnel affairs in the north, and he is familiar with the defense of the north. Naturally, he has more power to speak to the commander-in-chief of Jizhen. Mainly Li Zan.

Of course, as a military aircraft, he also has a greater voice in employing people.

Emperor Chongping nodded, and said: "Then wait for Mr. Li Ge's memorandum to come and discuss this matter. You will also help to inspect and recommend good generals in Beijing."

Since Tang Kuan was arrested and sent to the capital, the channel of Jinyi Mansion only briefly narrated what happened, and Li Zan was bound to report to Chen Zou Chongping Emperor, telling about his deployment of Beiping's defense and the adjustment of related town generals.

Emperor Chongping suppressed the matter, looked at the boy in the python suit opposite with a pair of calm eyes, and asked: "Your father-in-law, Qin Ye, was previously recommended by the court and recommended by the court, and moved to the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, Zi Yu, What do you think?"

When Jia Heng heard the words, his face was surprised, and he paused and said: "The six personnel affairs, I dare not speak nonsense, as for my father-in-law, even if it is to avoid suspicion, I don't dare to speak too much."

Because he originally thought that Emperor Chongping would suspend the court push and ask him for his opinion again. He didn't want to think that the candidate had already been determined, so it would be easier to answer.

Emperor Chongping looked at the young man on the opposite side, and said: "Qin Ye is also a father-in-law. You should know something about his character and capabilities. There is only you and me here, so there is no need to hide."

Jia Heng frowned, and said: "My father-in-law is over [-] years old. He has been in the Ministry of Industry from a bureaucrat to a doctor. If you talk about what you can do, I don't know much about it, so I dare not speak nonsense, but if you talk about it Officer, Yuezhang is as clean as water, and his sleeves are as clean as a breeze, this point, I can guarantee that Yuezhang almost has no money left in his family."

Being a clean and honest official, not being greedy or taking possession, otherwise Qin Ye's family would not be so poor.

Emperor Chongping nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Integrity is like water, and his sleeves are as clean as wind. This one is worth it. I don't know how much he is better than those officials who were recommended today. Now he is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and acting as an agent. If he can set an example, he wants to come to work." There is no such thing as Gongling."

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, Xinzhong."

After Emperor Chongping finished talking about Qin Ye, he did not continue to extend down, and urged: "Now that Mr. Li Ge is in the north, he needs a lot of money and food to rectify the frontier affairs. The imperial court must not be short. Confiscate the officials' family assets and sell them for silver taels to be used as internal funds for allocation. You have to train your troops well recently, and the military aircraft department is fine now, so you can focus more on the Beijing camp."

Jia Heng's complexion changed, and he said: "I have been going to the Beijing camp to supervise and train these days. The soldiers of the [-]th regiment battalion have been rectified one after another, and the relevant troops have been replenished. It's just that there is no actual combat. The minister intends to send out Several groups of soldiers and horses, in Henan, Shandong and other places, suppressed bandits entrenched in the mountains and forests. Not long ago, the capital of Henan reported that they were mobilizing troops from the guards of the capital to suppress the bandits in Jigong. It may not be appropriate to fill the army with the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. I am going to send the Beijing battalion troops into Henan, first to practice the battle of rushing raids, and second, to help suppress bandits. I don’t know what the Holy Grail wants?"

The rectification of the Beijing camp has not stagnated since Jia Heng took over as the governor of the Beijing camp. Although the supervision of military appearance and military discipline has not been relaxed, after all, there has been no actual combat, so it is hard to say how much combat power it has.

Jia Heng's implication was to send soldiers from the Beijing camp to Henan to assist in the suppression for training.

Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, then asked: "Henan Dusi is suppressing arrests. I heard that the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies has also sent generals to Henan. Is it necessary to send more soldiers? You and Shi Jie's Military Aircraft Department will discuss this matter with the cabinet. Calculate again."

In this era, there is no habit of keeping drills on hand. Jia Heng's proposal will most likely not be approved by the cabinet.

After all, the Henan Metropolitan Commander has dispatched a large army of guards to hunt down bandits, and the Beijing camp sent troops to Henan, which is tantamount to sending troops repeatedly. It is not a waste of money, what is it?

When Jia Heng heard this, she frowned and was speechless for a while.

In fact, it was also a concern about the situation in Henan. Niu Jizong and some generals from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion went to Henan to supervise the suppression of bandits.

I was a little bit worried, I was afraid that the bandits would be more and more suppressed, and if there were unexpected changes, it would be difficult to deal with it.

There is no other way now, but to turn back and ask Jinyi Mansion to send more people to Henan to investigate the affairs of Henan.

Emperor Chongping didn't know about Jia Heng's hidden worries, so he ordered the Beijing camp to train troops.

It wasn't until noon that Jia Heng left Daming Palace, following Emperor Chongping's previous order, he did not go back to Wuying Hall, but planned to go back to the mansion for dinner, first go to Beijing camp for an afternoon, and then return to Wuying in the evening The hall is worth staying in the military aircraft.

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall

At this moment, the hall is surrounded by peach blossoms, willows and greenery, pearls and emeralds, and Yingying and Yanyan are gathered together.

Mother Jia sat on the Arhat bed with a smile on her face. Behind her, the servant girls Yuanyang and Hu Po held their shoulders and served tea. Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, and Feng Wan sat in the first row on the left, and on the embroidered pier on the right. Chaidai, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Yunxiu sat in a row, and Baoyu also sat in front of Daiyu and Xiangyun.

In the past two days, because Jia Zheng came to entertain the former colleagues from the Ministry of Industry who came to congratulate him, and secondly, he was familiar with various affairs of the Secretary of General Administration, so he had no time to talk to Baoyu.Therefore, Baoyu, after finishing the review, handed it over to Jia Heng for review, and got Jia Heng's permission to pass the test, so he didn't go to the ancestral hall to kneel.

At this moment, everyone in Rongqing Hall cast their curious eyes on an old woman in coarse clothes.

The old woman was wrapped in a blue turban, her hair was as silky as silver, and her face was full of dimples. When she smiled, even the creases on her face stretched a little, and a few black gaps in her teeth appeared in her mouth.

It was Grandma Liu.

In the winter of last year, Grandma Liu brought her grandson Ban'er to Rongguo Mansion to look for Sister Feng because of the family's difficult livelihood.

During the Chinese New Year, Grandma Liu took Ban'er to see Sister Feng again and kowtowed to Sister Feng, and then more than two months passed in a flash.

In the past two days, Jia's mother was happy because of Jia Zheng's promotion.

Sister Feng knew that Jia's mother liked to be lively, and it was interesting to see Grandma Liu's words and responses. Yesterday, she ordered Zhou Rui's family to call Grandma Liu to come over and make fun of Jia's mother.

Sure enough, Mother Jia met Grandma Liu and listened to her talking about the farming affairs in the farm.

Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others were also smiling on their faces, and they also looked at the old woman intently. Even Mrs. Xing had recovered from the "sorrow" of Jia She's exile in the past few days, looking at the poor clothes and silver hair on her temples. Grandma Liu.

This is probably caused by a sense of superiority.

"Old man, how's the harvest in the farm these few years?" Mother Jia asked with a smile.

The smile on Grandma Liu's face faded a little, and she said: "In recent years, the weather has not been beautiful, and the harvest has not been very good. This winter, there has been a heavy snowfall. It seems to be a good sign. We farmers can only rely on the sky. To eat, if God is not beautiful this day, you can eat and drink the northwest wind."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "The weather these days is abnormal. Winter is very cold, and summer is extremely hot."

"What your old in-laws said is that sometimes there is no snow in winter, and it is dry and cold." Grandma Liu said with a smile: "It's better in summer, although the sun is a bit poisonous. Escargot, what are you touching fish for?"

Seeing Grandma Liu depicting a pastoral scene, the girls listened fascinatedly. For example, Xiangyun and Daiyu all had looks of longing on their faces, and Baoyu was even more dazed, and said with emotion: "The pastoral, Going out early and returning late is like this in my life, so I can take advantage of it."

Xiangyun smiled and said, "Brother Ai, is he going to be a hermit?"

When Baoyu heard the name "hermit", her face gradually turned bitter, and some painful memory fragments clearly emerged from the depths of her mind, and the expression on the full moon's face suddenly became somewhat unnatural.

At the beginning, Jia Heng used the words of a hermit to reprimand Baoyu for being a rice bug in a vat because of Baoyu's "reading is useless" in Rongqingtang.

Daiyu picked up the handkerchief and pursed her lips, her starry eyes were shining, and she also remembered the past.

Baochai turned her eyes to look at Baoyu, took the teacup from Yinger, lowered her head, and took a sip.

Here, Grandma Liu said with a smile: "I heard that the family had a happy event not long ago?"

Mother Jia smiled and said, "Does my in-laws know?"

"I just heard about it, so I came here to enjoy myself." Grandma Liu said with a smile.

Mother Jia loved to hear these words, so she laughed and said, "It's not worth mentioning all the time. It was originally from the fifth rank, but now it has been promoted to the fourth rank."

Grandma Liu smiled with black teeth, she was also sincere, and asked: "We often say that the magistrate of the Qipin County is a big school, and the magistrate of that county travels around. I don't know how big the official is compared to the Qipin. Is it smaller than the seventh rank?"

As he spoke, he broke his fingers and said in a low voice: "Four, five, six, seven, is this three ranks lower than a seventh rank official?"

Grandma Liu's move didn't make people think that she couldn't speak, on the contrary, it made everyone in the hall find it very funny, even Mrs. Wang had a reserved smile on her face.

Seeing a slight smile on Sister Feng's charming young woman's face, she explained with a smile: "Grandma doesn't know about this. The ranks of officials are not arranged in this way. They are arranged from small to large. The first rank is the largest, and the ninth rank is the smallest. There are also subordinates, we common people often say that the seventh-rank officials are officials as big as Zhilan mung bean, and the fourth-rank is comparable to the seventh-rank, which is a full six ranks higher."

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "I don't think there are so many details in it? The seventh rank is the size of a sesame mung bean, the fourth rank is as big as an apple, and the first rank is as big as a pumpkin." the official."

As he spoke, one of his two arms gestured like a pumpkin.

Seeing that Grandma Liu was so serious, everyone laughed lightly, but Grandma Liu was stunned for a while.

Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Brother Heng is a first-rank official, isn't he an official the size of a pumpkin?"

When everyone heard this, they hadn't thought of it before, and they laughed even more.

Under Daiyu's smoldering eyebrows, her starry eyes were bent into crescent moons, she seemed to think that this kind of thing was a little funny compared to the usually dignified and serious Master Heng.

Baochai also smiled lightly, her moist almond eyes flickered under her beautiful eyebrows like two curved emerald feathers, she thought to herself, I don't know what kind of expression Brother Heng will have when he hears this?

After everyone laughed, Jia Mu smiled and said: "In this city of Shenjing, there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries everywhere, just fourth-rank officials, and there are no high-ranking officials. I'm afraid that they will be beaten with a pole on this street." If you go down, you will be a fourth- and fifth-rank official."

I clearly still remember what Jia Heng said earlier that only third-rank officials are high-ranking officials in this city of Shenjing where dignitaries walk everywhere.

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "The old lady said that."

While everyone was talking, someone outside suddenly came to report, "Old lady, second lady, Grandma Wang Jiayi led Miss Zi to come."

The smile on Jiamu's face faded a little, and she thought, what is this Wang Yi's wife doing here? The last time because of Yuanchun's marriage, the whole family was disturbed. .

The nanny said again: "They said they came to see the second wife, and also celebrated the second master's happy event, and brought some congratulatory gifts."

Mrs. Wang stood up and said, "Old lady, I'm going to meet Brother Yi's daughter-in-law."

Grandma Liu was a little surprised when she saw this scene, especially noticing that the joy on Mother Jia's face had faded, she thought to herself, could it be that a relative who didn't like it came to the house?

Not long after, I saw Wang Yi's daughter-in-law leading her daughter Wang Zi, and a group of nuns walking into the Rongqing Hall.

This young woman is 27 or [-] years old, with a melon-seeded face, fair skin, and a pretty face. She wears a green dress and a jasper phoenix hairpin pinned between her bun and her bun.

The little girl beside her, Wang Zi, has a youthful complexion, a pink jacket and a plain skirt, with willow leaves under her eyebrows, her eyes are black and white, and her cheeks are fair and pink.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law approached, first saluted Jia's mother Yingying, smiled and said: "Old lady, aunt, I can congratulate you. I heard that my uncle was promoted to the Secretary of General Administration yesterday, so I wanted to come to congratulate you. But there has been some trouble at home, and I can't get away, so I finally got out of here, so I came to have a look."

It can be regarded as an explanation of why he didn't come here two days ago.

Reaching out her hand not to hit the smiling face, Mother Jia also smiled and said, "Brother Yi, daughter-in-law, you are welcome. I saw the nanny who came to greet me yesterday. Please sit down."

At this time, Mammy moved past Xiudun and waited for Wang Yi's daughter-in-law to take her seat. Her daughter Wang Zi, also greeted by Aunt Xue with a smile, came towards Baochai and called out: "Aunt Bao. "

Baochai nodded with a smile, took Wang Zi's little hand, and asked softly, "What is Zi'er doing at home these days?"

"Learn to be a female celebrity with my mother." Wang Zi is twelve or thirteen years old, her voice is somewhat immature and soft like a child's voice, and she seems a little shy. She lowers her head slightly and looks at Xiangyun, Daiyu's sisters.

Baoyu is looking at Wang Zi almost intently at this moment, and he is also kind of close to this niece who is about the same age as him.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law greeted Jia Mu with a smile, then looked at Grandma Liu beside her, and said with a smile: "This old man looks very nervous, I wonder why?"

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we are still relatives in our family."

As she said that, without waiting for Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, who had a look of surprise on her face, to ask, Sister Feng told about Grandma Liu's son-in-law, Wang Gou'er's ancestor and the Wang family's Lianzong.

When Wang Yi's daughter-in-law heard the words, a smile appeared on her beautiful melon-seeded face, and she said, "So it's Grandma Liu. I just saw her being so kind. So she's my dear."

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "I also get close to this lady when I see her."

"I don't dare to be a wife." Wang Yi's daughter-in-law said quickly.

Although my mother-in-law was robbed during the war, the master still has a few aunts, and it is not her turn to call her a wife, and she is just a grandma at home.

At this time, Jia Mu took over the conversation and asked, "Your father-in-law has gone to Peiping now?"

"It's been more than half a month since I went to Peiping." Wang Yi's daughter-in-law answered Jia's mother's question and said with a smile, "Why don't you see uncle?"

Jia Mu smiled and said, "He's gone to the Yamen, but it's almost noon, and he should be back."

"Actually, I have something to ask my uncle about this time." Wang Yi's daughter-in-law suddenly said.

Jia's mother asked curiously, "What is Yi brother and daughter-in-law looking for Baoyu and his father?"

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law sighed, and said: "Return the guy in my family. He runs a little pawn shop business in Xicheng. The shopkeeper Wu in the shop has a son who is reckless, because a customer pawned an item. After a dispute, he beat him up, and the son of shopkeeper Wu is now being imprisoned in Wucheng Bingmasi. Hearing what Jingzhao Mansion said, he will be sentenced to two years in prison. The shopkeeper is the right man of my family. , now that his son has an accident because of the shop, he has no intention of taking care of the business in the shop. In fact, if Brother Heng is there, it's easy to deal with it. It's just a matter of his words, but he doesn't care too much. Long...my son heard that my uncle has a protégé in Jingzhao Mansion who is the presiding judge of this case, let's see if he can give a lighter sentence."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in Rongqing hall was stunned, thinking, this is begging the second master to contact the student who called Fu Shi, so that people will be lenient?

Even Aunt Xue's expression was a bit unnatural, and she thought, what are you doing asking for help, and mentioning her family Pan'er?

Faced with the "connotation" of Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, Jia's mother frowned, and said something for Jia Heng: "Brother Heng never cares about such things, and Baoyu and his father said that he is now in value." Military aircraft are all about state affairs.”

Seeing that Jia's mother seemed to be annoyed, Wang Yi's daughter-in-law hurriedly laughed and said, "Old lady, I know this, my wife is thinking like that, thinking about whether I can pay more money, please forgive me. Can you stay in prison for less time, or see if you can simply let him go, just let Fu Tong judge this matter."

Seeing Mother Jia pondering, Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady, if this matter is not troublesome, let the master and Fu Tongpan talk about it, and see what it means. If there is such a compensation regulation, if you use some money, It’s good to have a lighter sentence.”

Mother Jia frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong, or it was not as simple as Wang Yi's wife said.

But in front of so many people, it's not easy to save Mrs. Wang's face.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "I think that's what I mean, it's a trivial matter for my uncle, now that my uncle has been promoted to a fourth-rank official, he will be of great use in the future."

She helped that girl Yuanchun arrange a lot of marriages, although because of Jia Heng's interference, her aunt had to accept her kindness, and it was impossible to refuse such a trivial matter.

Baochai listened to the conversation of several people, especially when she looked at Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, her apricot eyes were fixed. Every time her cousin came to the door, she didn't see anything good.

A smile curled up on the corner of Sister Feng's mouth, she glanced at Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, and thought to herself, what a troublemaker.

Jia's mother somewhat disliked this kind of meddling in the lawsuit, but because of her affection, she said, "Let's talk about it when Baoyu and his father come back."

Several people were talking, and it happened by coincidence that at this moment, a nanny came from outside and said: "Old lady, second wife, the second master has left the yamen, come to the old lady's side."

When Jia Mu heard the words, the smile lines appeared again on her face, and she said, "It's earlier today, and the mandarin ducks are setting lunch."

Yuanyang responded quickly, and the mother and maid began to get busy.

Not long after, Jia Zheng, dressed in a fourth-rank official robe, entered the hall with a smile on his face. It was clear that he had just returned to the court and had not changed his clothes, so he narrated to Jia Mu.

As the yamen responsible for printing and distributing the mansion newspaper, the Secretary of the General Administration uploaded it, which can be described as a place where news gathered. After the court recommended the candidate, Jia Zheng was the first to know the result of the court's recommendation. After the yamen was dismissed, he came to Rongqingtang The Jia family and the Qin family are related by marriage, Mr. Qin is the servant of the Ministry of Industry, and the Jia family can also help each other.

Everyone looked at Jia Zheng at this moment, and they were quite surprised to see his flushed face.

Secretly, is there another good thing?

Mother Jia asked curiously, "Zheng'er, what's the matter, so happy?"

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law at the side also looked at Jia Zheng with some doubts.

When Jia Zheng saw Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, he was surprised and asked, "Why is Brother Yi's daughter-in-law here?"

Mrs. Wang, perhaps out of a sense of pride, explained: "Come here to celebrate the master's promotion to the Secretary of General Administration, and there are still things to trouble the master."

Jia Zheng paused for a moment, but did not ask what the trouble was.

Mother Jia asked curiously, "Zheng'er, what happened outside?"

Aunt Xue also looked over curiously, she hasn't said anything about the happy event just now.

"Mother, there's a message from the General Secretary that the court recently announced that old Mr. Qin has been promoted to the Ministry of Industry as the right servant." Jia Zheng said with a smile as he sat down.

Mother Jia: "..."

Mrs. Wang: "???"

The smile on his face froze for a while.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry?

This... is this the official of the third rank?

This...well, she knew it!

She just knew... that Uncle Heng would not be so kind to the master, he had something good to do, and he really thought of his own father-in-law first, not the people of the same clan. Then Qin Ye was directly promoted from the fifth rank to the third rank, and became a high-ranking official, jumping several ranks in a row!

And what about the master?It's only the fourth grade, and it's clear that the master is regarded as a boss, so I can't say it, but I'm afraid of being talked about.

Otherwise, the servant of the Ministry of Industry obviously has two vacancies, and he can obviously arrange one for the master, even if he can't, then he can let Qin Ye go to the Secretary of General Administration. The two characters Jia are.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang felt that the joy of the past two days was replaced by a wave of resentment.

Because the thought of clearly being able to seal the third-rank imperial order, and Jia Zheng being a high-ranking official, made him so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

Baochai put down the teacup at this moment, and glanced at Mrs. Wang, whose complexion was changing and her eyes were complex. Originally, she had complicated thoughts about Sister Qin's father's promotion to the third rank.

Auntie is clearly not greedy enough to satisfy her desires, instead of thanking her uncle for his promotion, she even complained?

How can there be such a reason in the world?

At this moment, this obedient girl in front of Mrs. Wang in the original book has long regarded Jia Heng as one with her husband and wife, so she naturally considers it from Jia Heng's standpoint.

At this time, Sister Feng saw Mrs. Wang's expression as well, and smiled secretly, probably thinking about it.

Jia's mother paused, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, Brother Heng, why haven't you come back at this time?"

Don't think about it, Brother Heng must have exerted force from behind.

Jia Zheng nodded, and said with emotion: "Mr. Qin has been in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, whether it is qualifications or talents, it is enough. Speaking of which, my son also feels that Mr. Qin is a bit inferior for being a doctor in the first division. The servant of the Ministry of Industry can be regarded as a person who makes the best use of him, and he has come to the end of all hardships."

At this time, Jia Mu suddenly asked: "Zheng'er, didn't you say last time that the Ministry of Industry is short of two court officials this time? There should be another vacancy?"

This seems to be a random question, but in fact there is a hidden mystery.

When Mrs. Wang heard the words, she raised her ears, but her face remained calm, paying attention to the other candidate for the servant.

Just listen to Jia Zheng say: "This time the palace said that Zhao Shangshu returned to the Ministry of Directors, and the left servant of the Ministry of Industry does not have to be a real vacancy. It is better to have a vacancy than to abuse it. It should wait for a suitable candidate to fill the vacancy."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was surprised, but her mind couldn't help but come alive again.

The master has been in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, if he waits for a year or so and is directly transferred to the Ministry of Industry as a third-rank official, it should be fine, right?

From the corner of her eyes, Mother Jia saw the change in Mrs. Wang's expression, and said intentionally, "Zheng'er, how did you choose this servant and official? Doesn't your former Yuanwai Lang have a chance?"

Jia Zheng frowned and said: "Mother, this is a ministry hall, the world is paying attention to it. My son was only Yuanwailang before, so what can he do? If it spreads out, I'm afraid my son will be ridiculed by his colleagues. It's a fool's dream."

Mrs. Wang: "???"

Is the master saying that she is an idiot?

Jia Mu smiled and said: "I think it's the same reason. It's extremely rare to think about it from the fifth rank to the third rank. If you think about it, it's even more difficult to go from the fifth rank..." gone."

When she asked inadvertently just now, some people would have side effects and feel resentful. If she was instigated by the gossip woman again, the house would be disturbed and disturbances would arise again.

Thinking of the "long-tongued woman", Jia's mother couldn't help but glance at Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, only to see her lowered her head and her pink face thoughtfully.

Jia Zheng nodded and explained: "Mom, this time the court recommendations are all recommended by civil servants. Mr. Xu Zongxian from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Zhao Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry all recommended Mr. Qin, as well as several cabinet ministers. The minister recommended it together, Ziyu is a military officer, and he didn't even listen in."

Wait a minute, he will also discuss with Ziyu, what is the way here.

Originally, he and his disciple Fu Shi speculated that Ziyu would ask Shi Jie, who also worked in the military aircraft department, to help Ting Tui, but who knew there was another reason.

Aunt Xue smoothed things over with a smile, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect there to be so many ways to select officials in the imperial court. If I think about it, I also rely on seniority, such as first come first served or something."

Baochai, who was on the side, heard her mother say "first come, first served", her plump, white and greasy face paused, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Isn't that right? In the final analysis, others are just suggesting, and in the end it's the supreme being in the palace who makes the decision."

Mrs. Wang's face was indifferent, she held the Buddha beads tightly, and her heart was cold.

The palace makes up its mind, but how can there be such a coincidence in the world?But it's the father-in-law of Uncle Heng?

There must be something tricky in it!

In fact, although Mrs. Wang looked complicated and her heart was turbulent, she didn't say a word. Only some people with clear thoughts would pay attention to Mrs. Wang's face and guess some changes in her mind.

Grandma Liu listened quietly to the conversation of a few people, secretly said, third-rank official, this is better than fourth-rank, who is that old Mr. Qin?
