It's a matter of his own future, and Meng ranxi doesn't dare to be careless. After Meng Shangshu returned to his house, he went to inquire about it.

Grandparents and grandchildren talked for a while in the study.

Back in his yard, ruhuidu has coaxed the two children to sleep.

Meng ranxi and Ruhui said: "my grandfather said that it's not time yet. Let me be a servant in the Ministry of officials."

Meng Shangshu didn't say that he didn't let it out, but that it wasn't the right time. Ruhui knows that the old master has other plans.

After thinking about it, Ruhui asked: "I heard ah Zhan say that the Emperor may abdicate in the past two years. Does it have something to do with grandfather's refusal to let it out now? "

However, Meng ranxi was still very surprised: "ah Zhan told you this?"

"Ah Zhan didn't tell me. It was my sister-in-law who talked to me. But now the crown prince is in charge of the country, and the emperor and the queen have begun to delegate power. It will be a matter of time before they abdicate. " Emperors and empresses do not think about power. Nowadays, most of the government affairs are handled by the crown prince. Everyone knows that the emperor is going to abdicate.

Monsieur nodded and said, "that's what grandfather said. The emperor, may abdicate next year As one of the six books of history, he knows more about the emperor and empress than others.

Ruhui asked suspiciously, "but what does it have to do with your abdication?"

Meng ranxi said: "once the emperor recruited officials. The prince is young, so naturally he likes to use young ministers. If the crown prince succeeds, there will be changes in the court hall. "

Ruhui doesn't just focus on the people who live in the inner house, but also on the things outside: "does grandfather think too much? You are just a seven grade official now. What does the change of court have to do with you? "

"The court hall is also closely related to the place," said Meng. Grandfather means that we can get a better job in another three or five years. "

If Hui Oh, did not continue this topic. But the next day she let people send a message to Ning Zhan, said something to find him.

Ning Zhan asked shuangshou to buy some toys that day, and sent them to Mengfu in the evening.

Ruhui asks people to take the two children away, and then tells Ning Zhan about Meng ranxi's release.

Ruhui said: "your brother-in-law is just a small official of seven grades. Even if the crown prince succeeds to the throne, it has nothing to do with him. But what your brother-in-law said is reasonable. Ah Zhan, I just want to hear your advice. "

Ning Zhan is now the former imperial bodyguard. He must be better informed when he walks around the palace. In addition, Ning Zhan is highly valued by the crown prince and is friendly with you Ge'er, so Ruhui believes in his judgment.

"Second sister, it mainly depends on how my brother-in-law thinks." The opinions of the parties are the most important.

Ruhui said bitterly, "your brother-in-law listens to the master." That's right. After all, Meng Shangshu has been in office for so many years. Listen to him, you can take many detours.

Ning Zhan shook his head and said: "staying in the capital has the advantages of staying in the capital, and being outside also has the advantages of being outside. Second sister, I can't give advice on this. " If he wants to go out and find a good place, he will not refuse to help. But how can he decide whether to leave or stay in Beijing. If the official career goes well, everyone will be happy; But if Meng ranxi's official career is not smooth, he will not be blamed for a lifetime.

Ruhui is frustrated.

Ning Zhan looked at her like this, thought about it and said: "second sister, the emperor and the queen strive to cultivate you Wang, hoping that he can become the arm of the prince in the future."

Ruhui knows Ning Zhan will not say useless words: "ah you, what do you mean by that?"

"Second sister, now you wang is working in the Ministry of punishment, and he does a good job." The empress asked too much of his royal highness Youwang, so that she was not satisfied with him. But Ning Zhan thinks that Qiyou has done a very good job. At least, he is out of reach.

Ruhui still didn't understand the meaning of this. The release of her husband has nothing to do with king you.

Ning Zhan didn't want to say more, but he said it too thoroughly: "just tell your brother-in-law this. By the way, why hasn't my brother-in-law come back so late? "

Ruhui said, "your brother-in-law's colleagues invited him to have a drink with them and will come back later today." As for men, there will be social intercourse when they are on duty. As long as you don't go to brothels and other places to drink wine, you won't take care of it.

Ning Zhan didn't stay much, so he left.

It was already dark by the time menrush came back. After sitting down, he asked, "I heard from the porter that ah Zhan is coming? Is that for me? "

Ruhui nodded and said, "ah Zhan said that both staying in Beijing and opening up have their own advantages. It depends on how we choose."

Meng ran Xi gave a hum, leaned back on the chair and asked, "apart from these, what else did ah Zhan say?" Today, he drank a little too much wine, which made him dizzy.

Ruhui hesitates and repeats Ning Zhan's words: "I think about it, but I still don't understand what ah Zhan's words mean?"

After hearing this, Meng ranxi's drinking subsided, and he sat upright in an instant: "you will repeat what ah Zhan said word by word."

Seeing that he was so serious, Ruhui repeated the words from beginning to end: "Xianggong, I asked him what he meant. He only said that I would tell you this."

Meng ranxi's face was dignified.

Ruhui thought about it again, but still didn't think it through: "Xianggong, what's inside ah Zhan's words?"

Meng ranxi said his guess: "ah Zhan means that if the prince ascends the throne, he will certainly use you king. And king you is now working in the Ministry of punishment. "

"Do you mean that if the prince ascends the throne, he will replace his grandfather as Minister of punishment?" With that, Ruhui shook his head and said, "it's impossible. How old is king you? How can he be the Minister of punishment in his early twenties?"

"The empress will not, does not mean the prince will not." After that, Meng ran Xi said: "king you always takes the crown prince as the leader, and he is also capable. When the crown prince ascends the throne, he will certainly be promoted. At that time, grandfather will have to make room

Now the master of the Meng family is just a magistrate of the fourth grade, and the generation of Meng ranxi has not yet risen. Once Meng Shangshu becomes an official, it will be a fatal blow to the Meng family. At least it has a great impact on their future.

Ruhui hesitated and said, "Xianggong, maybe ah Zhan's conjecture is wrong. My grandfather has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he certainly knows better than him. "

Meng Shangshu's political accomplishment is certainly much higher than Ning Zhan's. However, Ning Zhan grew up beside the empress and had a good relationship with the prince and the fourth prince. In this respect, his judgment must be more accurate than his grandfather's. It's also because of the close relationship. Otherwise, my brother-in-law would not have said this to him.

Ruhui frowned at him and said, "my grandfather is so old. Sooner or later, he will retire. We can't rely on him forever

Meng ran Xi smell speech to see one eye such as Hui, smile to say: "I am just thinking, is it better to put out?"

She didn't know anything about officialdom, and Ruhui didn't dare to give any advice. She just said, "you can make up your mind about it. But if you want to release it, you have to decide as soon as possible. If you plan early, you can also find a good vacancy. Otherwise, you will get a corner. "

"I'll find an opportunity to discuss this with my grandfather." My grandfather has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he certainly thinks more about it than he does.

Zeng Chenfu was born after confinement. Apart from taking care of common affairs, her mind was all on her husband and son.

Hearing Mrs. Zeng coming, I thought she was coming to see their mother and son. But seeing Mrs. Zeng's ugly face, Zeng Chenfu knew something was wrong.

Zeng Fu said: "your father asked Zeng Miaojia to come to Beijing, and asked her to marry a good family in Beijing? Fu'er, you said your father didn't mean to embarrass me! "

Zeng Chenfu's face immediately pulled down: "Niang, Zeng Miaojia's heart is higher than the sky. She won't be satisfied with the marriage you've got for her. When the time comes, she'll make a fuss, but it's all yours. "

Mrs. Zeng hesitated.

Looking at Mrs. Zeng's appearance, Zeng Chenfu couldn't help sighing and said, "mother, why don't you write to your grandfather and let him solve this matter."

"Fu'er, your father knows that he will not be happy." I can't help it. It's terrible for master Zeng to lose his temper. Once Mrs. Zeng thought about it, she felt a little nervous.

"Niang, if Zeng Chenfu makes a scandal in the capital, he will be full of shame. Not to mention that grandparents can't get around you, even ADI, their official career and marriage will be affected. " Zeng Chenfu's eldest brother hasn't been engaged yet, and his meaning is to wait for him to try before he can. If you succeed in the exam, you can go a step further. If you don't pass the exam, you'll get married.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zeng hesitated and said, "I'll write to your grandfather when I go back."

In case Mrs. Zeng falls off the chain at the critical moment, Zeng Chenfu writes a letter to Mr. Zeng himself. After writing, immediately sent to Hunan. She believed that as long as the old master saw what Zeng Miaojia had done during his time in Beijing, he would never let Zeng Miaojia stay in Beijing again.

Zeng Miaojia wants to seduce Ning Zhan to disgust Zeng Chenfu, but it doesn't work. However, she succeeded in winning the favor of Li Liushao, who was good friends with the Zeng family. The other party also wanted to marry her. However, Li Liushao's mother didn't like Zeng Miaojia, so it was over. This is why Zeng Miaojia insists on coming to the capital because she is confident that she can marry a better husband than Pang's by virtue of her appearance.

When Zeng Miaojia arrived in the capital, he was planning to find a satisfactory marriage for himself. Before she had any action, the man sent by master Zeng arrived.

This time, Mr. Zeng sent his confidants to take his mother and daughter back to their hometown.

Zeng Miaojia naturally didn't want to, but he didn't pay any attention to her. Seeing that Zeng Miaojia didn't cooperate, he made a vicious remark. He tied him up and blocked his mouth.

With a puzzled look on her face, Mrs. Zeng said to her eldest son, "the letter I wrote was sent out ten days ago. Why did the old man come so fast?" From here to Hunan, letters usually take about ten days to arrive!

The great master of the Zeng family knew that Zeng Chenfu had sent a letter back to Hunan, so he took the matter to himself: "mother, I asked someone to tell my grandfather about it." Zeng Chenfu has been married. It's not right to intervene in her mother's family. And his father knew that he would scold again. On the contrary, because he was the eldest son of the family, his father would reprimand him even if he knew it at most, and would not do anything to him.
