Chapter 153:

At the same time, the lobby of the cabinet was bustling.
Wu Ge's old man returned to his illness, even if it was for pretending to be a face, everyone had to express his congratulations.
Therefore, the elders of these elders, with their understanding of being confused, greeted Wu Ge's old body well, and said some times that the assistant adults must take care of their health.
Afterwards, they went back to their houses to do business. The old patriarchs stepped down, and the two-story Chinese scholars went to the old pavilion to show their diligence.
These two rooms are also a pardon room and a pardon room, which is directly under the cabinet. In fact, it is the so-called book office, which is responsible for the drafting of documents and the like.
Compared with those of the elders, these people's faces are much more stiff. One mouthful of Wuge is the minister of the majesty, and no one can be missed by the court.
Holding Wu Ge's old face full of red light, he stroked his beard and smiled.
Of course, it is indispensable to say some gossip, such as what happened during Wu Ge ’s absence, who has any changes, and so on.
In addition to Xu Shoufu and Tan Gelao, this cabinet has the longest age and the oldest seniority in the cabinet. Naturally, there are also a set of staff in this cabinet.
It was estimated that it was almost time to touch, and Wu Ge was out of the cabinet lobby and went to the Qianqing Palace.
There is a short distance from the lobby of the cabinet to the Qianqing Palace. If you think that the entrance to the cabinet is called ‘Jizhi Wenyuan Pavilion’, you think it ’s wrong to have the cabinet in the Wenyuan Pavilion. In the previous dynasty, the cabinet was indeed in the Wenyuan Pavilion. Later, after the establishment of the Dachang Dynasty, the Wenyuan Pavilion lost a fire, and the cabinet moved from the Wenyuan Pavilion to the roots of the southern city of the Forbidden City.
That is to say, from the cabinet to the Qianqing Palace, it is almost all the way from the east side of the Wumen, passing through the Wenhua Temple, Wenyuan Pavilion, and Arrow Pavilion, and passing the Jingyun Gate to reach the Ganqing Gate. But these elders also got used to it, but they didn't think it would be far.
Along the way, I met many domestic attendants and officials. When I saw Wu Ge Lao, they were all respectful, and Wu Ge Lao squeezed his beard to make a smile, until he entered the Qing Dynasty, and then changed to a respectful attitude.
Wu Ge came to the Qianqing Palace, and Lin Miao, a scholar of the bookstore, came out of the palace.
Lin Miao, who is in the middle school, can be different from those in the two-room cabinet. The full name should be called the people in the middle school, which directly corresponds to the emperor, rather than the people in the cabinet and the pardon room. It is to assist the elders to complete various government affairs.
In fact, they are all doing errands, but because the service targets are different, the status is naturally different.
For this reason, Wu Ge Lao also specifically said a few words with Lin Miao, and greeted the dragon body of Jiacheng Emperor.
Even to face Lin Miao, he also expressed his loyalty to the king.
"Your Majesty Dragon Body Antai. Master Zhongtang, the next official still has something to do, so I won't accompany me any more." Lin Miao arched his hand humbly, and hurried away.
Leaving Wu Ge old, he looked back at him, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
He didn't forget the one before his experience, all because of this student. Good for you, Lin Miao, good for your north foot, don't think you can pretend to draw a clear line, you can wipe out the relationship.
Wu Ge is not an ordinary mediocrity, naturally knowing that sometimes many things can not be seen from the surface.
At this time, Zheng Ancheng walked out of the hall quickly, and the smile on his face was widened before he even approached him.
"Master Zhongtang, Your Majesty has been waiting in the temple for a long time."
Seeing this laugh, Wu Ge's old heart felt more stable, and he also laughed and Zheng Ancheng made a few words of family routine, and followed him into the palace.
When he arrived at the Imperial Academy, Emperor Jiacheng was at his desk to approve his son.
Wu Ge's old eyes turned red in vain, and he took two steps forward, then threw himself down and knelt down.
"His Majesty."
"Wu Aiqing is here? Why ... Zheng Ancheng, don't hurry to help Wuge get older!"
Zheng Ancheng was busy and he went to help Wuge Lao. The old man Wu Ge stood up and faced with a faceless face, but also the old and sickly state: "The old minister is ashamed, the old minister is not strict with his family, he has caused such a big event, his majesty still cares for the old minister, the old minister Wuyan faces his majesty. . "
Emperor Jiacheng put down the Zhubi in his hand, crossed the Dragon Case, and came over.
"Wu Aiqing is a minister of the imperial court, and has served the imperial court for many years, but it is the juniors of the family who are not sensible, and I am not an innocent monarch. How can I do such a series of things." Then, Jiacheng Emperor sighed: "It's just that Master Wu wants to understand me. After all, I am a prince of a country. I have to face the world and the Manchu dynasty, so I will be sentenced to your nephew's exile of three thousand miles, and I hope Wu Aiqing will not complain."
"Dare the veteran! The veteran also had to perish His Majesty Xie to open the net, pity me Wu family only this vein, if this is to change others is to copy the family's big crime to destroy the nine families, it is His Majesty to leave a face to the veteran, not to let the old face Throw it clean, the old man is really ... "
Saying that, Wu Gelao had to kneel down and prostrate Jiacheng Emperor, but the Emperor Jiacheng helped Zheng Ancheng up.
After returning to the Long case, Jiacheng emperor sat down and said, "Now Master Wu is recovering from illness, and it is a happy event for the ups and downs, or don't say these unpleasant words. Master Wu is loyal to the court and knows the world. I know that the Manchu dynasty's culture and martial arts are known. Although the court law is strict, the law is nothing more than human relations. "
"Your Majesty!"
This time Wu Ge's old kneeling was no longer hindered. Until he knelt and kowtowed, Emperor Jiacheng did not wake up like a big dream and Zheng Ancheng quickly helped him up. Afterwards, the emperors and ministers spoke a few words about themselves again, and then the Emperor Jiacheng retired from Wu Ge.
"Old man!"
After Wu Gelao left, Jiacheng Emperor's eyes smashed the fold in his hand with anger.
"Your Majesty is angry!" Zheng Ancheng persuaded.
"How can I breathe anger ?!" Emperor Jiacheng was so angry that his chest fluctuated, and he said for a long time: "Xiandi Emperor Smart I was confused for a while, but he actually moved this stone to smash my foot."
This is actually a reason. At first, the emperor and a class of civil servants fought. As a monarch of a country, he naturally couldn't leave the field in person. Naturally, he trained his team to use his strength. But that group of people was overwhelmed and cultivated a group of silverfish.
It was too late to wait for Emperor Xiandi to react, and then Emperor Xiandi went to Jackie Chan, naturally leaving the scourge to Emperor Jiacheng.
Zheng Ancheng didn't dare to answer this, he could only make a quail-like head with his head hanging.
After finishing talking, Emperor Jiacheng also knew that he was angry, and then changed his mouth: "The first emperor was difficult, and this group of civil servants mistaken the country, which harmed the former dynasty, and now it is damaging me again. Frustrate! "
As a monarch of a nation, he could say such vicious words, and he could see that Jia Cheng was also anxious.
Why don't you hate? !
There is no money for the disaster relief of the monarch of a country, but he has to rely on the minister to raise money to make up the silver. The treasury was so cumbersome that Yin ate grains, but the ministers were all fat and fat!
If the greatest wish of Jiacheng Emperor now is to annihilate this group of people. He even hoped that the prince would recover.
Mentioning this, Emperor Jiacheng naturally thought of the prince again, his brows narrowed.
"Go, look at the prince."
The Prince's situation is even worse.
The doctors tried their best and tried nothing, and began to put their trust in various remedies. Now that the available remedies are exhausted, there is no other use than tossing the Prince ’s body even weaker.
The crown prince now looks terrible, and the sores on his hands are rotten, and now they are turned into scarlet scars left on the epidermis, like a poison sac on the toad, which is daunting. He even had some hysteria recently, crying and screaming every day. Now the Donggong is like a ghost, and if it is not forcible, no one wants to come in.
Even Emperor Jiacheng, who always valued the prince, could not help getting bored after seeing this scene repeatedly.
Emperor Jiacheng was not in a good mood, but it was even worse when he came. After he became angry, he left the East Palace.
Outside the gate of the East Palace, Emperor Jiacheng asked, "How is the queen recently?"
Zheng Ancheng bent over and replied: "The maiden body has been much better than before. The maiden Ma often often takes the three princes to visit the maiden, and now the maidens are more happy."
Emperor Jiacheng sighed: "The queen is also--" He paused, and he said, "Go and see the queen."
The group detoured to Kuning Palace.
This woman named Wan Qiong is quite smart, and many things are just a piece of cake.
Then came the guest, Zhaoer deliberately asked her to come forward to try.
Although the tension is visible, in the end it can be regarded as a model, and it can be expected that it will be able to stand alone in the future. Zhaoer was very satisfied, so she taught her with all her heart. Wan Qiong also learned carefully, and the two got along well.
At noon, Zhao'er went back to cook and took a copy to the store after eating.
Wan Qiong boasted about her good cooking skills, and asked curiously: "Boss, you are opening a shop. Is there no servant in the family, and you still need to cook for yourself?"
Zhao'er smiled and said, "We are so familiar. What else are we calling bosses and bosses? Call me to recruit children. If you call my boss, I'm not used to it."
"This--" Wan Qiong hesitated and changed his mouth in the end, calling out a beck.
Zhaoer also said: "As for you talking about servants, we are not from a wealthy family. Normally, we are used to doing it ourselves. I am not used to a servant."
"I still don't know what the husband of Zhao'er did? I saw you dressed as a woman, and said you have children, should you be married?" Wan Qiong glanced and asked.
"My husband? He, he is a little official."
Wan Qiong made a surprise: "I didn't expect Zhao'er or Mrs. Guan, so I can't ask you to recruit."
Zhaoer hurriedly waved: "Don't say anything about a lady or a lady. I'm not saying that, my husband is a little official, and I can't reach the point of being a lady."
Before the young couple discussed this matter, Xue Tingyan was edited by Feng Liupin and recruited as his full wife according to the rules.
Although it is the trend of the times, as long as the husband is an official, he can be called the wife, but seriously, only the wife of the first or second grade clerk can be called the lady of death. That's why Zhaoer said that.
"Since it's an official family, there should be more people."
Zhaoer did n’t understand why Wan Qiong was more true to her servants, but she also honestly replied: "Our house is small. Besides, there are only a few people at home, so we do n’t have to wait for people. As for cooking, they The grandfathers are not used to cooking by outsiders, so I usually make it myself. There is also a servant at home, but when the porter and the driver are used, the girl does not. "
"You are really virtuous." Wen Qiong sighed.
Zhaoer was a little embarrassed: "I am not virtuous."
Afterwards, after Wan Qiong had eaten, Zhaoer packed up the tableware. After taking a nap with Hong'er for half an hour, she went to the store after waiting to see that Wan Qiong was still holding on. During this period, Wan Qiong also did several business and no major events happened in the store.
Seeing this, Zhaoer is more satisfied with Wan Qiong.
When it was almost time for Shen, Zhaoer thought that Xue Tingyan was about to go down, plus it was the first day, let Wan Qiong go home, let her come the next day, and plan to close the store.
Wan Qiong did not refuse, and helped Zhao'er close the shop door before leaving Wang Jihuafang.
She walked out of the Jinger alley all the way to the handkerchief alley before getting on a carriage.
In the carriage, the girl Yingge was waiting, and as soon as she saw her, she anxiously said: "Girl, you can be considered back, the slave-maid is dying."
Wu Wanqiong did not care to say: "What anxiety, not to let you go back first, and then come to pick me up in the afternoon."
Yingge grieved and said: "Why dare you lose the slave girl alone? Besides, if the slave girl is found back, it is not easy to explain."
In this way, Yingge sat in the carriage and waited for Wu Wanqiong all day.
Seeing this, Wu Wanqiong said: "You have worked hard, Minger, don't wait here, just find a tea house or restaurant to drink tea."
"Girl, will you come tomorrow?" Ying Ge said in amazement.
This was a bit arrogant, Wu Wanqiong gave her a light look, Yingge was too scared to squeak again.
After a while, until the car was moving, Yingge whispered, "Girl, you said you asked someone to ask the new champion, and found him in the shop, but this person has married his own son."
Wu Wanqiong pursed her lips and gave her a cold look: "You are talking more and more!"
Yingge said with a sad face: "If this matter is to let the master know ..."
"My dad won't know. Also, don't think about it too much. I don't think about this person as you think, I'm just curious about his wife."
"can……"
In the next words, Yingge didn't dare to say more, and knew that although the girl had a soft personality, if she angered her, the result was not something she could bear.
Not to mention these, Wu Wanqiong came to work in the shop every day.
After a few days, Zhaoer almost felt that she could be alone, and she made an appointment with her every day. She was responsible for opening the door. Wu Wanqiong came to the store at the time. When she applied for the afternoon, she could start work. The rest of the time, Zhaoer visited the store. .
As far as wages are concerned, one month is one or two silver, but you can mention unequal silver from the things you sell. To recruit children's estimates of the business in their own store, Wan Qiong can get three or two to four two a month. Wages.
This salary is already very expensive for the capital of Beijing, enough for her to live alone.
In fact, Zhaoer planned to invite two more female friends, but because she couldn't find the right man for a while, she could only put it on hold.
Because Wu Wanqiong works every day at Shen Shi, and Xue Tingyan also went to work from the Hanlin Academy, so the two did not collide. Xue Tingyan only knew that Zhaoer had invited a female friend, but she didn't know the details.
On that day, Xue Tingyan returned from the Hanlin Academy and only Hu Sanyi was at home. After asking, I realized that Zhao'er and Hong'er were both in the store. He didn't care about going back to the room and changing clothes. He took a break and sat down to drink another cup of tea. Still not seeing the mother and son coming back, they went to the store.
At this time, Wang Ji Huafang was busy, and it was a coincidence today. When Wu Wanqiong was going to work, a few guests suddenly came. In this case, she was naturally unable to leave, and she stayed to help.
There are thousands of people in the world, some people are happy to buy things, some people are grinded, and today these female guests are grudged. It's also because Wangji Flower Workshop's things are not cheap, so you have to think more about it.
Finally, this wave of guests waited away, and two more guests came. Zhaoer and Wu Wanqiong were busy greeting each other, one was looking at the store and looking at the children, and they did not forget to give some suggestions.
Finally, the business was finally completed. Zhaoer said dryly and was sitting down to drink water.
Xue Tingyan came.
"Why are you so early today?" After that, Zhaoer subconsciously looked at the sky outside, and then he realized that he was busy and forgot the time.
"Business is good today?"
Zhaoer took another sip of water before saying: "No, business is not bad every day."
"It's time to find the guy."
Zhaoer sneered at him: "You're light and easy to talk about, how easy is that, even if Qiong Qiong was finally invited. The male buddies are easy to find, but the female buddies ..."
She said with a sigh.
Xue Tingyan always felt that the name Wan Qiong was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but he didn't care about it either. Just about to say something, suddenly a voice rang at the door.
"Look, your little hand is dirty. When you go back, your aunt will wash it for you."
Zhaoer stood up with a smile, and said, "In a blink of an eye, this little villain will be gone. Thanks to Wan Qiong, you can watch it."
"Zhao'er, you're so polite, it's just that the customer is too difficult to cope with. If it's not for you to appoint this business and lose it, I'll look at some Honger ..." Somehow lost his voice.
Zhaoer saw that her face was a bit wrong, and thought she was nervous when she met the foreign man, and said quickly: "Wan Qiong, this is my husband." He said to Xue Tingyan, "Ting Yan, this is Wanqiong."
At this time Wu Wanqiong had recovered his composure, and he stood there cautiously, holding Hong'er, and nodded to Xue Tingyan half-eyefully, but said nothing.
Xue Tingyan's complexion changed suddenly, and all his eyes turned murky.
At this time, Hong'er suddenly flew over: "Dad Junjun, did you bring me something delicious today?"
Xue Tingyan was hit by a surprise. In order to cover up, he picked up Hong'er and took a look at him with his eyes down: "Dad brought you pea yellow."
"Okay, let's eat, the puppy is hungry."
"Do not eat too much, or you will eat less for dinner."
"Mother, I know." Then, Hong'er urged Xue Tingyan to hug him for a snack.
The father and son's back disappeared behind the door, Zhao Er was embarrassed and smiled at Wan Qiong, said: "This child is the skin, and there are so many strange things."
Before this explanation, Honger called Xue Tingyan a handsome father. This word originated from a joke between Xue Tingyan and Zhao'er, but was heard by the little boy, and then Xue Tingyan became a handsome father.
Wu Wanqiong somewhat admired: "Hong'er is really cute."
After hearing it, Zhaoer glanced at her, but said nothing. She just pretended to clean up the countertop and told her briskly that it was not too early to tell her to go back quickly.
Wu Wanqiong glanced at the door again, said goodbye to Zhao'er, and left Wang Jihuafang.
After she left, Zhaoer sighed.
She could see Wan Qiong's envy, but she didn't dare to say anything. Wan Qiong was young and widowed, and no children were around. She was afraid to talk to her too much, and she would inevitably be hurt when she returned.
Zhaoer kept it for a while, and it was not too early to see it, so he packed up and closed the shop.
After going back, Xue Tingyan was holding Hong'er and took the book to talk with him. The little guy also heard it with interest.
The father and son said one and listened.
Listen, listen, when the son asks all kinds of weird questions, and then the father is not bored, explain to him one by one.
Zhaoer smiled and changed to old clothes and went to the stove.
In the evening, give Honger a bath.
In this house, a house was set up as a bathroom, which contained two bath barrels, one large and one small. The small one is for Hong'er only, in fact, it is a small tub.
If it ’s still hot today, Zhao Erbei ’s water is warm. He threw Honger into the basin and he was very excited. He kept pumping the water outside the basin and Zhaoer squatted and rubbed bubbles Then, he wiped the bubble on Zhaoer's face again, but he was angry.
The mother and the child are just like a battle, and laughter can be heard in the study.
The west room of the main room is Xue Tingyan's study.
At this time, after he sat in the book case, the sky outside was already darkened, but he did not light the lamp, and left himself immersed in the boundless darkness.
He finally remembered the missing section in his dream when he saw the man.
In that dream, he entered the Hanlin, but it was just ordinary Shuji.
After the museum selection, he hurried home, but did not stay long, and hurried back to Beijing.
The children and mothers did not come with him. The children were too young to travel long distances. Secondly, the capital had not settled down.
After that, the chaos and trivialness of entering the officialdom took up all his time.
Wu Ge is always his teacher, he inevitably visits one or two, especially the relationship between the Wu family and the Shen family.
Xue Tingyan didn't know how the Wu family liked him. After all, he was really not outstanding. The number of people who were better than him and better than him was countless, but one day someone hinted that Wu Ge had a single girl, waiting Boudoir. Although he had been married once before, the man was unlucky, but he had not been married for half a year before he died in an accident.
What does this mean, but everyone in the officialdom understands it.
But when he first came out, he subconsciously felt that he had a wife and a son, could it be impossible to abandon his wife and son to climb high and become expensive? He refused. Even if he knew very well what it meant to him if he agreed to it, it was a heavenly avenue before him.
He had thought that this would definitely offend the master teacher, but he thought that the master teacher was a subordinate assistant, so he would not care about him.
Afterwards, things really happened. He was expelled from the Hanlin Academy because of his mistakes, and was transferred to a county where the poor mountains and bad waters were.
At that time, he was still young and full of spirits, knowing that this was deliberate revenge, but he did not believe in how he could get himself if he did not greed or do nothing.
He didn't dare to tell Zhao'er about this matter. He cared about his face and didn't want to worry her. So Zhaoer thought he was in the capital, in fact, he had already gone to Beijing to take office in the border town.
It was not until he went to that place that he understood how difficult it was to have no background and no backers in the officialdom.
As a farmer, he knew the peasants' difficulties and hardships, so once he thought that he would be a good official to petition for the people.
Seemingly simple, it is actually difficult and difficult to achieve.
To get up to the top and deal with the officials below is the first thing to do.
Not to please the superior, the performance appraisal can not get the top grade, promotion is not necessary to think, maybe it will be disparaged. And there has always been such a sentence, let you clear the official like water, it is difficult to escape the slippery oil. It is said that the local officials are all sent out by local officials, and they are appointed for three years. Naturally, some unknown officials are familiar with the local environment.
If some ‘adults’ cannot see the details, they will be easily overwhelmed by some people below. And since Wu Ge Lao wanted to make things difficult for him, he would naturally not choose a good place for him, and that was the case in the small county where he took office.
As soon as he arrived, he ate for several times.
From the stubbornness at the beginning, to dealing with those little officials, he learned to be stubborn and stubborn, he learned to win over and suppress, and he also learned to use power for personal gain.
Finally, a piece of Qingming, he could finally be the master of the county, and he did a few practical things for the common people, but faced the matter of being transferred away after his term of office.
When I arrived at the new office, I was faced with the same situation as before.
Now that he has experience, he should beat and beat, and he should pull together, and the soldiers will cover up the water. In the end, he was exhausted, and occasionally he had thought if he had promised, would he not have to go through all this? Could it be like those in the same year, sitting peacefully in the Hanlin courtyard, drinking tea and chatting, waiting for the official to enter the prince, stepping straight up?
He didn't dare to think deeper. At this time, he had already seen too much humanity, and realized that he had changed. He didn't have the confidence that if he had to do it again, he could still stick to his heart as he did then. .
It took a few years to go. At this time, Zhao'er also knew that he had been released. He repeatedly proposed to come to him, saying that Hong'er is now big, but he didn't know what his father was like.
He felt guilty and embarrassed, and felt ashamed, and wanted to be in a much better situation than before, so he sent a letter back to let her come to him.
And Zhao'er was on the way to find him, and the boat he was on was on the road.
Since then, it has been forever.
