Chapter 557

"Nephew, you are so busy! It's not easy for the second uncle to see you!" Mu Chengen said with a loud smile.

Mu Heng got up and saluted and asked his second uncle to take a seat: "the old man of the Chinese family went to pay his condolences. He didn't come back until he was on duty."

"Really? Then I have to go to the incense column tomorrow," said Mu Chengen in surprise.

Ziyuan offered tea. Mu Heng lifted the tea cover and asked slowly, "is the second uncle still used to it in the ritual department?"

"I'm used to it. I don't have many errands in the etiquette department. It's very leisurely. It's much more comfortable than in Jingzhou." Mu Chengen said.

"Just get used to it. I heard that my second uncle wanted to go to the work department. I thought he didn't like this job. There are few vacancies in Beijing. How many people want to be a doctor in the etiquette department. My nephew spent a lot of effort to get this position for my second uncle. After all, the empress is gone, and some things are not so easy to do." Mu Heng said faintly.

Mu Chengen hurriedly said, "there's nothing I can do. I did well in the etiquette department."

Mu Heng smiled: "really? Yesterday, a second aunt complained that I had ruined my second uncle's future."

"Hey, women don't know. My nephew doesn't care about her." Mu Chengen shook his head and said.

Mu Heng knew that the doctor of the etiquette department was an idle job and didn't have much money. Unlike the Ministry of work, he was in charge of many projects. He picked up a little money everywhere. Second uncle was used to fishing for oil and water in Jingzhou and wanted to drill in a place where there were many benefits. He jumped up and down in recent months. However, since second uncle denied it, it showed that he still knew the current affairs.

"My second aunt really doesn't have much insight, and I don't see how many officials of the work department have fallen off their horses and ended up miserable. The people at the censor's desk all stare at the work department. It's hard work to rebuild and rebuild the dam after the disaster. If my second uncle goes, it's not good. If he doesn't do well, he'll have to eat and fall. It's not what it used to be!" Mu Heng said faintly.

"Yes, yesterday I heard that a member of the Ministry of works was jailed for repairing water conservancy." Mu Chengen said that at first he wanted to go to the Ministry of works. Mu Heng decided to refuse him privately. He was very angry, but he was a little timid when he looked at the recent situation of the officials of the Ministry of works.

Mu Chengen thought about Muqiao's advice and hesitated how to lead the topic to the old lady.

"Women don't know so much about these things in officialdom. They are jealous only when they see the appearance of others. Nephew doesn't have to take it seriously. However, when the old lady is old, nephew should not be familiar with her. Let the old man avoid spreading it out. Those outside don't know the inside story and say that nephew is not right." Mu Chengen said politely.

Mu Heng smiled: "since you don't understand anything, you have to be strong. Isn't this adding to the chaos? As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter and honest advice goes against your ears. Although my nephew's words are not very pleasant to hear, they are also for the sake of my second uncle. For the good of this family, I have a clear conscience whether I am sent or not. My nephew has always been black and white."

"What my nephew said is that the so-called family and everything prospers. After all, the old man is an elder. Nephew, you should be aggrieved and apologize to the old lady. This matter will be over. In the future, we can't mention it again. Your second aunt and second uncle will talk to her well." Mu Chengen said hard.

Mu Heng couldn't help laughing. He wanted him to recognize and bow his head. It was beautiful.

"Don't you know my nephew's temper? If my nephew is really wrong, I don't have to say it. My nephew immediately kneels down and apologizes. But if my nephew is right, wouldn't it confuse black and white to ask my nephew to apologize? My nephew knows that my nephew is in a dilemma. Forgive me for saying something I shouldn't say. A man should have a backbone and have a charter in his heart. Don't do anything regardless of good or bad Listen to a woman's, the mother is kind, the son is filial, the wife is virtuous, and the family is prosperous. "Mu Heng said these words with a smile, but his voice was cold.

Mu Chengen sighed sadly and silently. He knew that he had come in vain and was taught a lesson by his nephew. No way, in front of this powerful nephew, his second uncle's identity is not easy to use.
