Three days later in the capital, at the Hanlin Academy, Chang Lian and Rong Chuan had been keeping a particularly low profile in recent days. Since the minister of official affairs had not yet decided in the court, the two of them also attracted special attention.
Rong Chuan could do better. There were many people in the room where Chang Lian was. As soon as Chang Lian entered the room, his eyes fell on him.
Mr. Lu waited for Chang Lian to take his seat, then took a step forward, "I heard that there will be results soon, so I would like to congratulate you in advance."
Chang Lian said in a confused tone, "What are you congratulating for?"
"I congratulate my uncle on becoming the Minister of Civil Affairs!"
This is really a step to the top. The hottest topic recently is Lord Zhou's appointment of Minister of Civil Affairs.
Chang Lian's mouth twitched, "Why don't I, the son, know this? Stop guessing, it won't matter."
Shen Yang's tone was sour, "Chang Lian, please stop being humble. Who doesn't know that half of the adults support Mr. Zhou's appointment of the Minister of Civil Affairs?"
Chang Lian was also excited and wrote a letter to his father. Unfortunately, his father's reply poured cold water on his head. It was no longer possible. He said calmly: "Master Shen, it is better to be more strict with your words. This is not settled. , you should stop trying to figure out the holy will.”
Shen Yang choked. In the past, he could rely on his distant relatives to compete with Zhou Changlian. Now that he had no more support, Zhou Changlian's father was gaining momentum and sat back in his seat silently.
Shen Yang's eyes fell on his shriveled wallet. Recently, his family has been in bad luck. A distant relative had an accident, and his family was cheated out of money. His money is tight. If he can't turn over money, his house in the capital will be sold. .
Mr. Lu laughed dryly and returned to his seat. He knew that Zhou Changlian was not only talking to Shen Yang, but also to him. He was flattering Zhou Changlian, but Zhou Changlian had never had a close relationship with him, and he became extremely depressed just thinking about it.
In Jinzhou, Zhou Shuren's smile was a bit stiff. He could not reach out to hit anyone with a smiling face. In the past two days, the adults in this yamen smiled at him when he had nothing to do. He didn't even curl his horoscope. These people were convinced that he had reached the fourth grade. The big hurdle has been jumped.
Wang Ju followed behind, "In the Sixth Department, the official positions in the Ministry of Personnel are very valuable. This means that if you join the Ministry of Personnel, you will manage appointments and dismissals in the future.
This character hasn't even been written yet, and he's already on the pole to flatter him. "
Zhou Shuren said, "Yes, the Ministry of Officials, there are two servants in the place where so many people are staring. The value of these servants is even higher."
Wang Ju, "My father said that a conclusion will soon be reached."
Zhou Shuren admired Mr. Wang very much. Mr. Wang spoke when he should speak out. When he shouldn't speak out, he was like a background board. He could see things very clearly. The old man could see that the emperor was foreshadowing, "Well ”
Wang Ju stopped and watched Zhou Shuren walk away. His father also said that Zhou Shuren was not only supported by the emperor, but also by others. Zhou Shuren was already powerful. Let him respect Zhou Shuren more in the future. At his father's age Now that he is older, when his father retires, he never knows when he will need Zhou Shuren’s hand.
Wang Jue felt very sad. Zhou Shuren walked so fast, faster than his father and he had expected. His father said that this time Zhou Shuren was not an official, but he would also hold an important position. It can't be compared. It can't be compared. People's official fortune has always been a mystery. Zhou Shuren's official fortune was prosperous!
In Zhou's house, Zhulan welcomed Mrs. Xue. Mrs. Xue said, "It's cool today, so I came to the door."
When Zhulan heard this, she realized that Mr.
"Oh, what a coincidence?"
Zhulan smiled, "What a coincidence. Wu Yong's eldest brother, Wu Ming, now Wu Tongpan, has received an urgent reply letter. I was just thinking about discussing the engagement with you."
Zhulan did not expect to reply so quickly. It can be seen that Wu Ming was also afraid that the Zhou family would leave Jinzhou, so he hurriedly sent it back. This letter was worth money.
Mrs. Xue is also thinking about this matter. The master trusts the character of the Zhou family, but she is afraid. She is not afraid of the Zhou family, but she is afraid of the Wu family. She has heard about it, because there is a lot of fuss over whether Mr. Zhou will serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Yes, this week the Zhou family has turned back quite a few people getting married, and some have set their sights on the Wu brothers!
Ms.
Zhulan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your reply and then ask the matchmaker to come to propose marriage."
Xue's smile deepened, "Okay."
The master is not young anymore, and the only one who suffers the disadvantage is that there is no one above the Wang family. She and the master hope that the Zhou family will be as high as possible. The master is not sure, and there will still be a chance to enter Beijing!
At noon, in the academy, Ming Teng and Mingrui ran away as soon as they got home and hid behind the rockery. The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
Ming Teng ran a little too hard and was still out of breath. "It's been a few days. Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise we would have been blocked again."
Mingrui supported the rockery, "No, at this juncture, we can't use force yet."
If he could have solved it before, now is the critical moment for grandpa. Both his eldest brother and fourth uncle have told them to be more honest in the academy and not get into trouble.
Ran Xun also came over with sweat on his face, "I'm the one who's depressed. If you hide, they'll block me."
Ming Teng patted Ran Xun on the shoulder and said, "The three of us have always been together."
Ran Xun sat down on the ground indifferently, "I'm just wondering, why don't these people go to Brother Mingyun?"
Ming Teng twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Look at my eldest brother's face, and you will understand."
His eldest brother's face is getting colder and colder, especially recently, his eldest brother's face has no expression at all, and he feels even more stressed just looking at it!
Mingrui laughed out loud. He remembered that his eldest brother was not like this when he was young. But in recent years, in order to control his younger brothers, and as the eldest grandson, the eldest brother has been under a lot of pressure, and he has gradually become like this.
Ran Xun is also quite afraid of Brother Mingyun, "My grandfather told me not to cause trouble recently. Well, don't lead you two into mischief."
It's really unfair. He has a lot of clever ideas, but Ming Teng and Mingrui are no worse than him. Although Ming Teng seems to be the stupidest one, he is not stupid at all when he should be smart.
Mingrui let out a sigh of relief. He felt that it was certain that his grandfather would go to Beijing. "I don't know. How is the academy in Beijing?"
Ran Xun was depressed, and then he realized that if his friend left, wouldn't he be left alone to mess around? However, forget it about letting him go to Beijing to study. He really doesn't count in the boundaries of the capital. Looking at the two friends, well, he can abandon them for a few years in order to be free.
In the afternoon, outside the gate of the Hanlin Academy in the capital, Chang Lian and Rong Chuan did not find their own carriage, but saw the carriage of Ninghou Mansion. Come on, the carriage must have been sent back by Ninghou Mansion again.
Chang Lian followed Rong Chuan silently. He could already follow him calmly onto the carriage. Lord Ning was really diligent in picking up people recently!
