Chapter 1334： too sloppy

After four years of being away from home, the mission officials are not in a hurry to take office once they return to Beijing to be promoted, and they have a half-month rest period.

After Zhulan confirmed that Changyi was okay, she took Changyi to the temple. This year, she went to the temple three times, and each time it was related to Changyi. Now that Changyi has returned safely, she is going to repay her vows.

Changyi accompanied her mother to get off the carriage and looked at the high steps to the temple. She felt very uncomfortable. Mother rarely came to the temple, but she came three times for him and helped her up the steps, "Mother, my son has made you worry. "

Zhulan didn't look up, just looked at her feet, and replied, "As long as you can return safely, my mother will worry more about herself."

Chang Yi's heart was filled with panic, "Mother, my son will no longer be in danger."

Zhulan's smile deepened, "Yes."

Climbing up the steps, Zhulan didn't want to continue talking, so she saved her energy and walked up in one breath.

Today, with her son supporting her, she can put the weight on her son, and she is not too tired when she reaches the top of the mountain.

After the vow was over, Changyi walked around with her mother, "Mother, Xuemei sent Yushuang many paintings of her brother-in-law."

"Well, Jiang Sheng's paintings should be kept well, and they will increase in value in the future."

Changyi felt that four years was too long. He almost didn't recognize his brother-in-law when he came back this time. The letter from the family only said that his brother-in-law's paintings were worth silver, and only when he came back did he realize that his brother-in-law's paintings were hard to find, "Jiang Miao and Jiang Du are going to get married. , I'm going to give some dowry and dowry."

Zhulan, "Xuemei's family is not short of money now."

The Xuemei family has changed the most in the past two years. Jiang Sheng only keeps the best paintings every year, and the others are basically sold. The money is available to change the house, buy Zhuangzi, and prepare dowry and dowry.

When the two children got married, her grandmother also prepared a share, and Xuemei's own dowry was distributed to Jiang Miao. Although Jiang Miao's dowry was not as good as Yushuang's, the dowry was already very rich.

Changyi said in a low voice, "Mother, my son will give you the bottom line. In the past four years, what my son has won is not only the property that he sent back, so it is not difficult for my son to give a dowry and a betrothal gift to his uncle."

Jiang Sheng was so generous to her daughter, he was never stingy.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren guessed how much money Changyi had brought back, and it would not be less than one hundred thousand taels. "Let's keep a low profile in the future."

Changyi, "My son understands."

In the Ministry of Household, Qiu Yan said: "This time, only the son of the adult is still in the Ministry of Rites."

Zhou Shuren, "Changyi's way is narrow, he cannot do without the Ministry of Rites."

This is the truth. Changyi's promotion is fast, but it also limits the future. It is difficult to jump out of the Ministry of Rites. In the Ministry of Rites, you will slowly gain qualifications. There is hope for breaking through the fifth rank. In other places, the qualifications will not necessarily rise. He will also be slowly marginalized.

Only by grasping the power of the Ministry of Rites can Changyi slowly get ahead.

As for the other officials who followed, they came from a serious imperial examination background, and they naturally went to better places because of their achievements. That's not right. Gu Zhuomin didn't go to better places. , Gu Zhuomin was promoted to the fifth grade, went to Guanglu Temple, and became the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple. It is difficult for Gu Zhuomin to rise again.

At that time, Shuji Shi, who followed the envoy, entered the Ministry of Commerce with the sixth grade. This is a good place. As long as you seize the opportunity, the future will be smooth.

Qiu Yan remained silent. He wanted to say that Master Zhou's second son was not easy, but he couldn't say it. His son is now from the sixth rank, and he doesn't know if he can reach the fourth rank in this life.

The next day, Changyi went to his daughter's house for a stroll. He spent the first day with his mother, and at night with his daughter-in-law and children. On the second day, he came to his daughter's house. Look how much he values ​​his son-in-law.

Liu Feng was sweating lightly on his back, holding a teacup in his hand, "Dad, please drink tea."

Changyi didn't answer, and looked at Liu Feng quietly, even if he accepted that Liu Feng was his son-in-law, he was not at home and his daughter-in-law was getting married. He had a great opinion of his son-in-law.

Yushuang sat on the side without saying a word, and slowly ate the cut fruit, which her father brought back to her, and bought it for her when the ship stopped for supplies.

She doesn't participate in the affairs of her father-in-law and son-in-law, she just needs to watch, anyway, her father won't kill Xianggong.

Changyi was sweating on Liu Feng's forehead, still holding the teacup in his hand, without any impatience in his eyes, Changyi took the tea, "I drank this tea, but let's go out for a walk. "

Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he drank the tea, "Okay."

Changyi has one attitude toward his son-in-law, but another attitude toward his daughter. When he sees the daughter's belly, this is his grandson or granddaughter. In a blink of an eye, he has become a grandfather, "It's hot outside, you rest in the house, we Come back in a while."

Yushuang rolled her eyes, "Yeah."

Chang Yi turned his head and the smile on his face faded, "Let's go."

Liu Feng, "..."

He changed his face too quickly. After following his father-in-law, when he turned around, he saw his daughter-in-law waving a handkerchief and looking like she was watching a play. No, daughter-in-law, you really didn't save me!

The imperial palace, Zhou Shuren and other ministers left the government hall and went out to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Zhou Shuren saw that His Royal Highness was languishing, and he felt very comfortable, right!

The crown prince is listless, the current Master Yan is too strict, and he has not left the palace for some days.

Eunuch Zhang saw that the prince had not entered the hall for a long time trotted out, "His Royal Highness, the Emperor is waiting for His Highness."

The prince glanced at Zhou Shangshu with regret, and just wanted to take the opportunity to follow him out of the palace!

Zhou Shuren was refreshed and refreshed. The prince has been very tossed in the past two years. Now it is good to be honest.

The Minister of Industry came over and lowered his voice, "Have your family received an invitation from the Empress?"

Zhou Shuren, "Yes, why do you ask me?"

The Minister of Industry's voice became even lower, "Your attention has been on your son lately, you forgot that the position of the Crown Princess is still vacant, anyone who has a heart can guess that your girl will not marry into the royal family, this is not intentional. Ask if the invitation did not invite your daughter, so as to guess the purpose of the Queen's banquet."

Zhou Shuren swept around and pricked up his ears. No matter how soft he was, he couldn't stop him from wanting to know the news, "Haha, this is too hasty."

Her daughter is not going to marry into the royal family, but there will still be occasions where she should appear. This is what he brought to his granddaughters, not to invite his granddaughter, not to mention that he has lost the trust of the emperor.

Zhou Shuren continued: "It seems that time can really dilute a lot of things, and I forgot my mother's surname Rong."

The Minister of Industry said, "I also asked for others, and I didn't forget it."

Zhou Shuren was too lazy to roll his eyes. In fact, the emperor really revealed that the position of the crown prince should be fixed. He glanced at the ministers around him, but he didn't know who would fall.

On the other side, Changyi took Liu Feng to the racecourse. Liu Feng didn't like this kind of place very much. The shouts echoed in his ears, and Liu Feng frowned.

However, Liu Feng's brows were quickly stretched, and he turned his head to look at the black-faced father-in-law, his eyes swept over the few people talking behind him, tsk tsk, it was really life-saving, just about Mingrui, Liu Feng touched himself Then he sat down honestly, his father-in-law's face darkened even more.
