After Mother Qian got up early in the morning, she sat on the edge of the bed frowning, and asked a servant to bring over a glass of warm water.
She has a habit of drinking a glass of water to wake up in the morning.
It's just that when I woke up today, I felt a headache when I thought that Shi Qing was going to work in the household department.
When the tea was brought, Mother Qian reached out to take it, and drank it with her head raised as usual, only to feel much calmer.
Qian Huanhuan had already arrived and was waiting at the door.
Mother Qian let her servants arrange her official uniform, and stepped out, "Let's go."
"Yes," Qian Huanhuan saluted respectfully. When he turned around, he glanced sideways at the saucer in the room, and then lowered his eyes and said to Qian's mother, "Mom, the Ministry of Rites recently wanted to arrange a new play for the queen's birthday..."
Qian's mother was not at all curious about whether the drama was new or not. Before Qian Huanhuan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by her frowning.
Mother Qian looked at her sideways, "Don't put all your thoughts on the Rites Department, it belongs to Shen Yuan after all, you'd better think about how to transfer it back to the Household Department."
There is no attitude of chatting, and the tone and attitude of business is like Shangfeng reminding his subordinates.
Qian Huanhuan paused, bowed his head and replied, "Yes."
Sitting in the sedan chair, Qian's mother closed her eyes and rested her mind. Qian Huanhuan hesitated for a moment, then gently raised the topic again, "Cancan has helped a lot in Babao Pavilion recently, and even the manager Xu praised her for her progress."
"Progress?" Mother Qian slowly opened her eyes as if hearing some joke, "How many times have I told you not to focus on these unimportant things."
Qian Huanhuan clenched his hands on his lap into fists, and frowned slightly, "Cancan, isn't she..."
"She is." Qian's mother categorically stopped the conversation, "Compared to your official career, she is nothing, nothing."
nothing...
Qian Huanhuan stared at Qian's mother's expressionless face, and couldn't find half of the expression that a mother should have.
Slowly let go of the fingers tightly clenched on her legs, and she said softly, "My daughter understands."
She really understood this time, she and Cancan are just tools in the eyes of her mother, they just can't be used or not.
Qian Huanhuan was completely disappointed.
The last bit of expectation in my heart for my mother was shattered by her two words this morning, and half of the extravagant hope was gone.
Mother Qian closed her eyes again, but she didn't hear the change in Qian Huanhuan's tone, or she didn't care at all, "You better really understand, don't advance her matters in front of me in the future, I feel upset."
Ever since Qian Cancan intentionally provoked the eldest prince last time, Qian's mother has never regarded Qian Cancan as her own daughter. If Qian's father hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to find any reason to send Qian Cancan back to her hometown and never return to Beijing. .
The mother and daughter separated at the gate of the palace, one went to the people in the Ministry of Households, and the other went to the people in the Ministry of Rites.
On the queen's birthday, Qian Huanhuan was in charge of the program arranged by the Ministry of Rites. She mentioned this matter after meeting with Shen Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
Shen Yuan was about the same age as Qian's mother, and she had a pretty face. Even at this age, she still has a very elegant smile, with a faint bookish air on her body.
If it weren't for this outstanding temperament and appearance, she wouldn't have been directly spotted by the eldest prince back then.
Shen Yuan is easy to talk to, "The new play is good, those old-fashioned play kings and queens may not like it. You are mature and steady in doing things. Since you decide to change to a new play, there must be something new."
Qian Huanhuan cupped his hands and saluted, "Thank you for your trust, sir."
Shen Yuan smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "If you work harder, you will be able to rest after the queen's birthday passes."
"yes."
Compared with the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Accounts is a little nervous.
"My lord, when Shi Qing came here today, how should we deal with it?"
The servant of the household department consulted Qian's mother in advance.
After all, Shiqing is Shiju's daughter, and she was born in the Inspectorate's airborne household department, unlike her own people who are gradually promoted from below.
Mother Qian's originally calm mood was disturbed again, and she faintly felt a pain in her head.
"It's just a second-class doctor, do you need me to teach you how to treat it?" She frowned and asked back.
The servant of Hubu focused his attention on this "secondary fifth grade", and immediately understood, "Yes, I understand what to do."
Hubu Shangshu is the third rank, she, the servant of the household department, is the fourth rank, Shi Qing is only the fifth rank, and Shiju's daughter. Even if she has the ability to reach the sky, now that she comes to the household department, she can only let them rub her.
It's good if you can't stand it, you just ask to leave if you can't stand it.
The matter at the gate of the palace has nothing to do with Shi Qing, she doesn't need to go to court today, she just needs to be at the Ministry of Households before Dianmao.
In the past, she used to go out in Shiju's carriage, but today Shiju left early, so Shiqing had to ask Mihe to take another carriage and go by herself.
When she was arranging her official uniform and preparing to go out, Yun Zhi was practicing sword in the courtyard.
In the twilight of the sky, Yunzhi's green sword glowed with a cold luster, and when it swung through the air, it made a sound of cutting the wind.
Shi Qing looked at him.
Yun Zhi is wearing a simple plain white summer shirt today, and the hem of the clothes looks extraordinarily light and elegant because of the flowing movements.
Her long hair was simply tied into a high ponytail and tied with a blue hair band. The broken hair on the forehead and temples was scattered, and some strands of hair stuck to her face due to sweating.
His thin lips were pursed lightly, his expression was serious, and he was indescribably handsome, his every move seemed to be stepping on the apex of someone's heart, causing a slight throbbing.
Yun Zhi, who is serious about practicing swords, is like a knight-errant, with an indescribable unrestrained willfulness on his body, and a faint intent to kill.
Fast, accurate and ruthless.
Before leaving the capital, Yunzhi's sword did not have such "ruthless" energy.
It seems that when he woke up from a dream in the posthouse last time, Yun Zhi's sword energy was full of mature killing intent, and his moves were much more stable.
Until Shi Qing walked over and applauded, "Young hero is handsome!"
Hearing the sound, Yun Zhi finished his movements, put his sword back, his murderous aura faded away, and the cleanliness and freshness unique to teenagers emerged.
He looked over, with a bright smile in his eyes, deliberately in front of Shi Qing, tied up a gaudy sword flower for her, and raised his eyebrows slightly at her.
Full of youthful spirit.
And with a small pride that can only be seen when facing Shi Qing, like asking if she is handsome
Shi Qing couldn't hold back and walked over quickly, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his neck and kissed him deeply, "It's so beautiful!"
It's just that when the two separated, Yun Zhi scratched the back of his neck with his red ears, and looked down with his downcast eyes.
"..."
Young people, really can't stand teasing.
His menstruation is not over yet, Shi Qing doesn't tease him before going to bed, this kiss this morning can only be said to be an accident.
Yun Zhi stared at Shi Qing with clear eyes. Compared with the shyness before, his face is getting thicker and thicker, and he is frank and addicted to this aspect of things.
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, and said leisurely like a devil whispering, "Child~"
Yun Zhi's eyes widened, he took a breath, calmed down instantly, and lost all thoughts.
He looked at Jian seriously and said to Shi Qing, "Hurry up and click Mao, I'll practice for another hour."
The energy that has nowhere to rest can only be used on sword practice.
Shi Qing wanted to laugh, but held back, and advised him, "It's useless to escape, accept the reality as soon as possible."
Yun Zhi began to cover his ears, looked up at the sky, and pretended not to hear.
"Fool." Seeing Mihe approaching, Shi Qing smiled and scolded him, then walked out of the mansion.
It's too late to eat breakfast, but we can buy some steamed buns on the way.
Before Shi Qing went there, he knew that the Ministry of Household Affairs was different from the Inspectorate, but he never expected that this difference was reflected in this embarrassment.
From the gate to the inside, the Inspector's Office looked serious and serious.
The Ministry of Household Affairs is different, and it is short of writing "I have money" on the facade.
It really is the pocketbook of the country.
I like it~
She loves places with a lot of money.
Shi Qing didn't come too late, so he arrived before Dianmao.
The moment she signed her name on the notebook, someone around her was surprised and said angrily, "Shiqing? Yo, aren't you from the Procuratorate? Why do you condescend to come to our household department?"
Someone echoed, "That's right, our small temple can't accommodate a big Buddha."
Shi Qing turned his head and took a look. The person who spoke first looked to be in his twenties, with a thin build and slightly high cheekbones, except that the word "sour" was written on the left and right sides of his face.
They were also in blue official uniforms, Shi Qing glanced in the direction of the opponent's belt, and the sign hanging on his waist read "Cang".
It turned out to be the doctor of "Cangbu Division".
She waved a brush and signed her name on the notebook—
Qin Xin.
Qin Xin was accompanied by a few people, and he could tell by their faces that they were of the same breed.
This is to show her off.
It's interesting that "old people" suppress "newcomers".
Several people looked at Shi Qing with a smile, "The Inspectorate can't stay any longer? But our household department is not an idle job."
At this moment, almost everyone in the household department came to Dianmao, seeing someone taking the lead in attacking Shiqing, they couldn't help but look over.
"So it's not an idler?" Shi Qing was puzzled, and glanced at several people one by one, "Then why are there so many idlers?"
Qin Xin's face darkened, and he stood up and asked, "Who do you say is an idler? Do you know our household department and how busy we are?"
Shi Qing spread his hands three times, "I don't understand, I don't know, how do you have anything to do with me?"
She wondered, "You are just as busy as the donkey pulling the mill, so what does it have to do with me, a newcomer?"
Qin Xin's chest was tight and painful from being blocked by her, and he began to feel out of breath early in the morning.
Some of them got the point. "Who do you call a donkey?"
"It's fine if you like being a mule," Shi Qing said, "you don't need to be as dead as Ka."
The man pointed at Shi Qing, "You—"
Shi Qing stared back, "Who are you baring your teeth with?"
"Even donkeys know that the plan of the day lies in the morning. If you don't do anything in the morning, you just wait here for me. Aren't you too idle to grind your teeth?"
"How dare you say that you are busy, the two lions standing guard at the gate of the palace refused to accept it."
"I came to the household department on the recommendation of Mr. Qian. If anyone is dissatisfied, go directly to her. Why are you here with me?"
Qin Xin said: "Why are you sour? Can you write notes if you are sour?"
"Oh?" Shi Qing made a long ending sound.
"I'm the top three in the first class this year, and I'm in the top three of Jinke. May I ask what your fame is?"
Qin Xin paused, his eyes flickering.
Shi Qing asked again, "I asked for the money owed by the treasury, and when I had a lot of money, what contribution did you make to the account of the Ministry of Finance?"
Qin Xin's face was ugly.
Shi Qing crossed his arms and stared at the crowd, "What were you doing while I was supervising the distribution of disaster relief money?"
She asked herself and answered, "Oh~ you are counting the silver taels that I let the Imperial Forest Army escort to Beijing, so you are really busy."
Everyone was silent.
Many people present have been officials longer than Shi Qing, but they are not as good as her in terms of merit.
Qin Xin couldn't lift her head at all, and took a step back embarrassingly.
"Either it is said that the little demon in the temple is a big one, so why did the Ministry of Households support you people?"
Hubu Langzhong walked over slowly, and looked at Shi Qing with a smile, "According to Mr. Shi, since they are all useless idlers, why don't you take care of all the errands today?"
She said: "You have great ability, and those who are capable will work harder."
The onlookers were so overwhelmed by Shi Qing's words that they couldn't even raise their heads, but now that the servant came over, they seemed to have found their backbone, and echoed, "Yes, yes, yes."
"You do what you want, what sarcastic words are you talking about?"
The waiter smiled and looked at Shi Qing.
"What does my ability have anything to do with you?" Shi Qing asked back, "If you want to work in his position, if anyone doesn't want to do it, just hand in his resignation, why push all the work on me?"
"Am I their mother, so hardworking?"
"Since there are so many filial children, I haven't seen anyone coming to kowtow to me during Chinese New Year."
Shi Qing looked at the servant of the household department, and put his arms around his arms, "I will do what I do, I think I am more than enough to be a servant, why don't you resign and I will replace you?"
Not to mention the Minister of the Household Department, even if Mr. Qian dared to resign from office, Shi Qing would dare to step up.
It is one thing to be able to do it, but another to dare it.
If she becomes the secretary of the household department, she will turn around and hire Mr. Qian as the servant of the household department!
She drinks tea every day, and Lord Qian works every day.
Hubu's servant never thought that Shi Qing would be so ambitious, and he wanted to be a servant since he came up.
Looking back and thinking about it, in just a few months, Shi Qing has been promoted to the fifth rank, and it is not that far away from the fourth rank.
Hubu Shilang was really in a daze for a while, wondering if Shi Qing really came here for his position
Her heart tightened, and she even began to reflect on whether there were any mistakes in her recent work
The servant of the household department is in his forties this year, and he has finally climbed to this position, so he dare not lose it.
She looked at Shi Qing and eased the atmosphere, "Isn't this a joke?"
Shi Qing sneered, "That's really 'filial piety' killing me."
If she died, with so many daughters, no one would know who would carry the sail.
In case the white-haired person gave away the black-haired person, the coffin in her yard was split into eight parts, which would not be enough to send.
Worry.
Seeing that Shi Qing showed no signs of reconciliation, the servant of Hubu glared at the people around him again, "What are you doing standing there? Do you have nothing to do at hand, why don't you hurry up and get busy with your own business!"
Everyone dispersed, and the servant of the household department took Shi Qing to Jinbusi, "They are just joking with you, don't take it to heart."
"This is Jinbusi, you should get acquainted with it today."
Maybe she didn't succeed in dismounting Mawei, because Shi Qing was in the household department all day and no one came to provoke her.
As for Qian's mother, she didn't come to the household department today.
After Shi Qing returned to the mansion, Shi Ju said that the result of Mr. Cao's case may be coming out.
The investigators were the fourth princess and the sixth prince, and the answers they asked were different.
It is a certainty that Cao Zhen embezzled disaster relief money to fool the court, there is no doubt about it.
But the assassination of the imperial envoy is a bit suspenseful.
Mr. Cao said that the letter was sent by Li Yunqing, and the two princesses sent Li Yunqing for questioning.
Master Li sat on the chair tremblingly, insisting that he didn't know about it.
How could it be possible to judge her guilt based on just one letter? What if Cao Zhen wanted to drag her into the water
Li Yunqing was speechless until more letters about Li Yunqing's relationship with Cao Zhen were found in Cao Zhen's study.
Cao Zhen, the idiot, kept all the letters and didn't burn any of them.
She originally intended to use it as a life-saving talisman, but now it has become a life-saving talisman.
It was because of these letters that Li Yunqing was imprisoned, but this could only convict her of embezzlement and bribery, not the murder of an imperial envoy.
After being tortured all day, Li Yunqing, who works in the Ministry of Etiquette, named two people.
The eldest prince, Xiao Changning, and Marquis of Shiyong, Qian Yuqing.
