Wei glanced at He Chuanwu, then picked up the bowl and drank tea.

He Chuanwu saw that Wei stopped talking, and he didn't seem to have anything to say, so he got up to leave.

Wei raised his head at this time, looking very sincere, "Why don't you stay and have a meal?"

He Chuanwu coughed lightly and politely refused: "I still have some things to deal with in the front yard, let's do it next time." ”

After saying that, he left without any regrets.

Wei waited for him to leave, and the smile on his face faded.

Mama Wang walked over lightly and whispered in Wei's ear: "The little Taoist priest woke up and said that he had no memory of what happened before. The slave maid asked people to check quietly, but they didn't find that the second lady's people had contact with him, and these Taoist priests were sent by the old lady to invite them before. ”

Wei's face was a little tired, and he waved his hand and said, "Since she did it, how could she leave a handle." No need to look it up. ”

Mama Wang hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Wei's head and gently massaged her acupuncture points.

"It's been so many years, and the second lady is still angry, but what good can she get by doing this except for the diaphragm to respond to you?"

Wei's eyes said: "If she just wants to respond to me, it doesn't hurt for me to accept it, I'm afraid of ......."

Mama Wang heard the jealousy in Wei's words and comforted: "Madame, don't worry, the second lady can't make any big waves." What a woman can rely on is nothing more than her mother's family and her husband's family, her mother's family is just a businessman, she has money but no power, and as for her husband's family, she can only count on the second master, but the second master is now just a magistrate from the fourth grade. Madame is different, now that Fan Ge has regained his old age, Madame's brother's future is unlimited, and it is not known that he will enter the cabinet in the future, and the uncle also respects Madame very much because of this relationship. ”

Wei said softly, "I hope so." ”

The He family did this ritual for forty-nine days, but fortunately, nothing strange happened in the future, and the crowd gathered outside the He family to watch the excitement gradually dispersed.

However, He Guangzong, who was far away in Lingzhou, received a holy decree, and Emperor Tiancheng recruited him to return to Beijing.

When He Guangzong returned to the capital, it was already the end of June.

He Linwan heard that after He Guangzong came back, he washed off his body and changed into an official uniform, and then went to the palace to report on his work.

On the second day, a decree came from the palace, and He Zhen was promoted from a noble person to a concubine, and was given the title "Zhen".

Everyone had to sigh, this concubine is really favored, she was promoted to the rank after just over a month after entering the palace, and Concubine Ande, who favored the harem back then, was nothing more than that.

Two days after He Zhen was promoted, Emperor Tiancheng issued a decree saying that He Guangzong had made meritorious contributions to the control of water in the south of the Yangtze River in the past two years, and his political achievements were remarkable, and he was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry.

Because He Zhen's promotion to the rank is a matter of the harem, and the concubine is not too high in the harem, everyone just sighs, but He Guangzong has been promoted to three levels in a row, and he has shocked many people by achieving the position of a squire with his background.

He Guangzong's political achievements in the prefect of Jiangnan for several years are indeed not bad, but this is also related to the geographical location of Lingzhou itself, Lingzhou is located at the junction of three states, commerce and trade are prosperous, the people are relatively wealthy, and there are relatively few natural disasters in Lingzhou in recent years, and the grain is harvested every year. Therefore, He Guangzong, the prefect, should be very stable and comfortable.

But there are not no officials with better political performance than He Guangzong, why don't you see them promoted?

Some people said that no one else has a favored daughter in the palace!

Everyone suddenly realized, thinking that they had found the truth about He Guangzong's promotion, and once again sighed that the concubine of the He family was really favored!

He Linwan knew that He Guangzong's promotion to the third level would not be just because of He Zhen. She is now more sure of her guess, He Chuanzhi was definitely Emperor Tiancheng's person at the beginning.

And the second lady's purpose of letting "He Chuanzhi" manifest has also been achieved.

The He family was also shocked by He Guangzong's sudden promotion.

He Chuanwu called He Guangzong to the study and asked him what His Majesty had said when he summoned him back, why did he suddenly become an official?

Before He Guangzong came back, He Chuanwu just sent him a letter, first educated him with his uncle's shelf, and then told He Guangzong that he threw away his face for his nephew and went to the Wei family to ask his brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law promised to wait for He Guangzong to find a better place for him to be the prefect after the expiration of his term, and then He Chuanwu taught him the way to be an official in the letter, and warned him to be diligent as a political leader, and not to embarrass the He family and live up to his painstaking efforts.

Unexpectedly, He Guangzong was immediately promoted, and he was still promoted three levels in a row, which made He Chuanwu's face a little painful.

He Guangzong was very respectful in the face of He Chuanwu, but he also expressed his confusion about his sudden promotion, saying that His Majesty summoned him just to ask about some of the political achievements he made when he was in office, encouraged him, and specially allowed him to go to the harem to see He Zhen, but nothing else.

He Chuanwu felt that He Guangzong's promotion was probably really because of He Zhen. He looked at his nephew's gaze with some complications, and reluctantly encouraged him a few words, and let him go.

When He Guangzong was leaving, he said to He Chuanwu with a smile: "My uncle's letter and nephew have received it, and I am grateful to my uncle for his painstaking cultivation of my nephew, and my nephew will definitely follow my uncle's teachings in the future and not shame the He family." ”

He Chuanwu didn't expect He Guangzong to suddenly mention this, his face was a little embarrassed, He Guangzong couldn't see the embarrassment on his face, and bowed and retreated.

The Wei family was much calmer, so they sent some things to the second lady and He Guangzong, and instructed the steward to arrange a family banquet for He Guangzong to receive the wind and celebrate, which was done very safely, so that people could not find faults.

Compared with the complicated feelings of He Chuanwu and Wei's side, the second lady was pure joy.

When the mother and son were talking alone, the second lady held He Guangzong's hand and wept silently.

"Oh boy, we're finally going to get through it. ”

He Guangzong gently patted Qin's shoulder and said softly: "Mother, don't cry, my son will never let you be wronged in the future." ”

The second lady wiped away her tears, grabbed He Guangzong's hand, stared at him stubbornly and said: "It's just that you can't be wronged! My mother wants to help you get everything that belongs to you back! You remember, everything in this mansion was bought by your father with his life, and no one is qualified to take it except you!"

He Guangzong nodded, "I remember, mother." ”

Only then did the second lady smile.

He Guangzong said: "This time I can rise smoothly, Mu Ge Lao also secretly helped, tomorrow I plan to go to the Mu family to thank you." ”

The second lady hurriedly said, "I'll ask someone to prepare a rich thank you gift." ”

He Guangzong said: "No need, my son is ready, and I don't want to be too eye-catching when I go to Mu's house." ”

The second lady thought for a while and agreed: "What you said makes sense, although we are in the same camp as the Mu family now, we still don't have too many contacts on the surface." ”

He Guangzong smiled and said, "I received a letter from the third uncle before I returned to Beijing, and the letter said that the Wei family was willing to carry me, I guess this is what the third aunt meant." ”

The second lady smiled mockingly when she heard this: "Help, she just wants to threaten us with the Wei family and the Fan family." What about the Fan family? Mu Ge is now the first assistant, and the Fan family has been away from Beijing for a few years. ”
