The gate of the palace is like a city.
The guests who come and go hand in their invitations and gift lists, and the concierge outside is overwhelmed, and they frequently sing loudly to invite people in. When encountering high-ranking people, they tend to become more enthusiastic.
Zhou Yinzhi is also a role in Jinyiwei.
But now that a gift list is handed out, it is only in exchange for the ordinary expressions of the servants of the palace, and it is known how many princes and nobles are gathered here today.
This is the married daughter of Jiang's family, and Zhou Yinzhi was only able to enter the official position by relying on Jiang Boyu's recommendation, so he should have prepared a generous gift. But after thinking for a while a while ago, remembering that Jiang Xuening didn't seem to have a harmonious relationship with his sister, he reduced the original ceremony by half.
It's just that when the eldest princess was kissing, Jiang Xuening explained to him to do something, and later said no.
She had never heard of her walking outside in a while.
Xie Shaoshi, whom she had met in the Tongzhou incident, seemed to have just an ordinary teacher-student relationship, and the Dingfei Shizi, who had been rumored a while ago, was originally a playboy, and the Xiao family from his background was still shaky...
Zhou Yinzhi stood at the gate of the palace, but he was really worried: the sage now pays more attention to Jinyiwei, and a former governor in the guards promoted him, and his original position was just missing. He was interested in this, but it was not long after he was promoted to a thousand households last year, and it seemed that the position of the pacifist would never fall on his head. But if you want to miss this opportunity and wait for the next vacancy, how long will you wait
Just thinking about it like this, a voice suddenly came from the street outside the door: "Concubine Xian is here—"
Immediately the surroundings were much quieter.
A luxurious carriage was parked at the door. Xiao Shu, who was dignified and delicate, got out of the carriage with the hands of the palace servants and the eunuch's back. She glanced around and said lightly, "This palace and His Royal Highness the King of Linzi will meet today. The two concubines on the front and side of the marriage are all classmates from the past, so I came to the banquet especially, the Holy Sage and the Empress have not yet arrived, so don’t be nervous.”
Everyone bowed to her.
It's just that I can't help but mutter in my heart: The Xiao family is now caught in the vortex of the re-investigation of the Ganzhou disaster relief silver case.
When she came, others naturally wanted to make way for her.
Originally, Zhou Yinzhi was at the door. He had already handed in the post, and he was about to step into the door with one foot.
Seeing Xiao Shu walking towards this side, he retracted his steps, took a few steps back, and bent down to salute when Xiao Shu approached.
Xiao Shuyuan didn't see anyone, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but glance at him.
This time, he saw the Jin Yi Wei Xuan Di Fei Yu suit that the other party was wearing, and his eyebrows raised slightly. Recently, he has been serving Shen Lang, and since he knows that he seems to have the idea of using Jin Yiwei, so he is more careful.
She smiled faintly: "Thank you, sir."
After speaking, he didn't stay much, and went straight in.
Zhou Yinzhi was slightly surprised, frowned and thought, but there was a dim light in his eyes.
As soon as Xiao Shu left, the noise outside resumed.
The servants of the house came to introduce the guests inside.
The halls were already full of people.
Those with a little identity are arranged in the flower hall.
Most of the officials in the imperial court have arrived. They used to be cautious and serious in the past, but today they rarely put down their shelves. At least they put aside their old grudges on their faces, exchanged cups, and talked and laughed.
The officials of the Sixth Department were also sitting very close together, and they were divided into two sides. The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Household are at one end, while the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Work, and the Ministry of War are next to them.
Xie Wei took charge of the real vacancy of the Minister of Industry in the Battle of Tongzhou, and happened not to be with Jiang Boyu.
Jiang Boyu, the servant of the household, was sitting very close to Zhang Zhe by coincidence.
Not far from the side are Gu Chunfang, Minister of Punishment, Yao Qingyu, Minister of Personnel, Chen Ying, Minister of Punishment and others.
Because it was Jiang Boyou's married daughter today, everyone congratulated him.
After drinking a few glasses, Jiang Boyu waved his hands again and again and said with a wry smile: "But there's not much to be happy about, the eldest daughter is obedient and sensible, and the second daughter is like a demon king, but it's tricky!"
This is not true.
Everyone has heard some gossip, but it is hard to say it. Anyway, the hype complimented Jiang Xuening, and persuaded him to drink as usual: "Your beauty is beautiful, and once was the princess's companion, she must be a good lady, what is the gossip outside? Can you believe it?"
Chen Ying agreed: "Yes, I knew it was fake as soon as I heard it."
Others wonder: "Why is this?"
Now the Ministry of Punishment is taken over by Gu Chunfang, Chen Ying used to use some shady methods, but Gu Chunfang hated it, and he didn't know what to do, so he glanced at Zhang Zhe, and said with a half-smile, "Master Jiang loves you. I can't wait to know the girl, but isn't the other one sitting in front of us in the rumors circulating in the streets a while ago? What did Jiang Er girl and Master Zhang have to do? Look at us, Master Zhang, it seems that we will have a relationship with some woman. Who is involved?"
Everyone was stunned, their eyes turned to Zhang Zhe, and they reacted—
Don't say it, it's true.
This newly promoted Scholar of the Punishment Department has been sitting here for a while, but he has barely said a word, so that everyone subconsciously ignores him. When Chen Ying mentioned it, he suddenly realized. Isn't it right, wasn't there Zhang Zhe in those rumors a while ago
He was dressed as usual, in a dark blue robe, with an ordinary ink jade hanging on his waist and a black silver-patterned bag, sitting with his back straight, his face full of silent coldness, making people feel uncomfortable.
The emperor and teacher Xie Wei, recognized in the DPRK as a spring breeze;
But what about him, the Criminal Department calls it "Dead Face" in private.
Even the clerks in the yamen would shake when they saw him, adding two more clothes, who can believe that such a person has anything to do with which girl's family, or which girl's family doesn't have long eyes but just likes him
Since the Shuxiang Inn was caught up and questioned, Zhang Zha has never seen Jiang Xuening again, and subconsciously avoids thinking of him again. He only uses files and cases to bury himself all day long. Can't stop the delusions in his head that make him miserable.
Hearing the name suddenly, it was as if a heavy hammer had hit his chest.
His expression was cold and solemn, and he did not fluctuate, but his fingers on the edge of the wine cup tightened. It's just that this subtle movement is hard to be noticed by others.
In the past, Jiang Boyu had less dealings with the Ministry of Punishment. At that time, rumors and rumors circulated in chaos. He paid more attention to the absurd Dingfei Shizi, lest this person have something to do with Ning girl, but he didn't pay much attention to Zhang. cover.
After all, I heard that this person has a valuable character, and he is not that kind of person.
He thought that someone else had poured dirty water on Ning Yatou. After all, as a father, he had never seen the children of princes and nobles circling around his daughter, and he had never heard of Ning Yatou taking the initiative to entangle anyone. That rumor was just nonsense.
However, because of Chen Ying's words, he raised his head and looked at it.
Gu Chunfang knew that Zhang Zhe was not good at words, and did not like Chen Ying's provocative actions, so he stroked his beard and smiled, and said lightly: "Gossip hurts people, Mr. Jiang is good at teaching daughters, and both girls were selected as princess companions. Listen to Saying that the second girl Jiang is very grateful to the young master. Xiao Xiao, who secretly spread rumors, can only ruin his reputation for a while, and as time goes by, the rumors will self-destruct, so there is no need for Mr. Jiang to worry."
It's okay not to mention Xie Wei, but Jiang Boyou's whole person is not very good.
It was only Gu Chunfang who said this, one with good intentions, and the other because he didn't know the inside story. He couldn't say anything, so he forced a smile and changed the subject: "I borrowed Master Gu's auspicious words. Speaking of which, there are also twenty of Zhang Langzhong. Four or five, it seems that we haven't talked about marriage yet?"
This time, it was Yao Qingyu's turn, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, on the side.
Who told his daughter to have a relationship with Zhang Zhe
Originally, he admired Zhang Zha and wanted to marry Yao Xixu to him. Who would have thought that his daughter would not like him, and would have to retire. Later, in the palace, for pushing Wen Zhaoyi, which almost caused Wen Zhaoyi to have a miscarriage, she was reprimanded to return to the palace. Now it seems like she is in a nightmare. She keeps saying that someone harmed her and committed a crazy disease. Can't come out to meet people.
It would be disgraceful to say this.
Zhang Zhe sat in a dangerous position, lowered his eyes and replied, "One is stubborn, and the other is hard and hard, and I don't dare to tire others."
Jiang Boyou was startled.
Yao Qingyu, however, glanced at Zhang Zhe, his face turned slightly sullen, and he only sighed that Zhang Zhe did not mention the previous resignation, which shows that his character is precious. But the more I know this, the more I realize that my daughter is really blind.
He sighed and said, "What's not to die for, nonsense!"
Everyone had heard how Zhang Zhe and Yao's family did not get married. They thought that there must be some discord between Yao Qingyu and Zhang Zha, but they didn't expect Zhang Zhe to call himself "hard life", but the identity of Yao Taifu refuted him. , The face is scolding, but when he thinks about it, he is speaking for Zhang Zhe.
In the end why the withdrawal, no one outside knows.
Jiang Boyu had a bit of a knack for being an official in the court, but when he heard this, he was really curious about Zhang Zhe: Mrs. Yao, as an assistant minister in the cabinet, had a good eye. It is not bad to be chosen by him as his son-in-law, but it is strange that Mrs. Yao can still speak for him when things are not done.
Zhang Zhe is a rare civil official in the court who was born in the official examination. Compared with the officials who entered the official examination in the Manchu Dynasty, he is actually not very glorious.
Can be taciturn, self-discipline.
Compared with those playboys in Beijing, I really don't know how much better. Although it doesn't seem to be very easy to get along with, there is no trace of hostility in his body, and his heart should be very good. It looks like she can scare Ning girl, and she won't treat the girl's family lightly.
Jiang Boyu's thoughts moved slightly, and he inquired seemingly casually: "I only heard that Xiao Zhang Langzhong's ancestral home is in Henan, and the reason why he voted under Master Gu was to avenge his father's injustice. It seems that it has not been a few years since he came to the capital?"
Zhang Zhe said: "Yes, but three years."
Jiang Boyu said "Oh", "Have you been used to it?"
Zhang Zhe's fingers clenched the cup tighter, but he closed his eyes and replied as usual: "The phenology is similar, and there is no discomfort."
Jiang Boyu said again, "Then Lingtang's body is still healthy?"
…
Gu Chunfang, an old fox, finally raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Boyu, then turned to look at Zhang Zhe. But as soon as his eyes fell, he saw his tight fingers holding the cup, and then looking at the silent outline, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
This protégé…
It doesn't seem to be so calm on the face, but it seems to be enduring some torment.
In this room, Jiang Boyu was chatting with people, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Zhang Zhe was very suitable.
On the other side, Xie Wei was sitting with the others, listening to the words of Jiang Boyu, Gu Chunfang, Zhang Zhe and the others behind him, but he sneered secretly, his eyes grew sullen, and his face was still not obvious. He only drank the wine in the cup and burned his lungs.
