After the dispersal of the court, all the ministers surrounded the past, and you congratulated me word by word. It's like the stars holding the moon.

Gu Hai has never been a low-key person. At this time, the spring breeze is proud, and the handsome face is also like a bright moon, which looks particularly dazzling.

"Congratulations!" Cui Ge Lao took the lead in opening his mouth, with a smile on his face: "For such a happy event, Gu Shangshu always has to set up a few tables for a banquet, and invite me and other colleagues to drink a glass of happy wine." ”

Cui Gu's two families are in-laws, and since Cui Junying left the palace, the relationship has become closer and closer. Cui Ge was able to enter the cabinet smoothly, and the Gu family made a lot of efforts behind his back.

Therefore, Gu Hai was promoted to the secretary of the ministry, and Cui Gelao's joy and happiness came from the bottom of his heart, and there was no falsehood.

Gu Hai raised his eyebrows and smiled: "This is a matter of course. A few days later, I will have someone send an invitation to Cui's house. ”

After that, Wang Ge Lao and several other pavilion elders congratulated one after another.

Meng Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who had a close personal relationship with Gu Hai, also stepped forward and patted Gu Hai on the shoulder with a smile: "How can you only ask for one meal, at least you have to invite it for three days in a row." ”

After the secretary of the criminal department was appointed to the official last year, Meng Jiao, who was originally the waiter of the criminal department, was naturally promoted to the post of secretary of the criminal department.

Lu Shangshu's mood in the military department was a little delicate, his subordinates jumped up, and the court would stand in front of him in the future......

The issue of the position of the court is not only about face, but also about the difference between the situation in the court, who can not care?

Fortunately, Gu Hai was quite measured, and as soon as he saw Lu Shangshu, he immediately bowed his hand respectfully as before: "In a few days, I will prepare a few glasses of water and wine, and Lu Shangshu must appreciate it." ”

In front of everyone, he gave Lu Shangshu enough face.

How else can you say that Gu Hai can be a man?

No matter what he thought in his heart, facing the respectful face as before, Lu Shangshu had a light on his face, and he felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, so he responded with a smile.

All the ministers congratulated, and Li Shangshu, who was motionless, was particularly eye-catching.

Gu Hai took the initiative to step forward with a calm expression, and said with a smile: "For the banquet in a few days, please invite Li Shangshu to come with a face." ”

Li Shangshu smiled a little stiffly: "Of course, I haven't had time to congratulate Gu Shangshu yet." ”

Gu Hai had a good demeanor, and arched his hand elegantly: "Thank you Li Shangshu." ”

The smile that belonged to the victor fell into Li Shangshu's eyes, and it was like a needle prick.

Li Shangshu smiled reluctantly.

……

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shangshu did not return to the Li Mansion, and went directly to the Hengyang Princess Mansion.

Li Yiming received a real difference, but he didn't have much official business on weekdays, and he was quite idle. When I have free time, I go back to the house to accompany my daughter. At this time, I happened to be in the house.

Only officials of the third rank or above are eligible to participate in the small pilgrimage. Li Yiming naturally didn't have this qualification, so when he saw Li Shangshu with a depressed face, he couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong? Why is my father's face so ugly?"

Li Shangshu held back for a long time, and he was about to hold back his internal injuries, and he was in no mood to speak for a while.

When Li Yiming saw this posture, his heart suddenly sank, and he asked tentatively: "The position of the secretary has been decided?"

Li Shangshu nodded.

"Father missed?" Li Yiming continued to speculate.

Li Shangshu's eyes were full of gloom and he continued to nod.

Li Yiming's brows furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?" The two servants of the Ministry of Officials are not as good as their father in terms of seniority, is there anyone else who can't kill them halfway?"

Isn't it just a halfway way to bite the gold?!

Li Shangshu squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "It's Gu Hai!"

Li Yiming: "......"

The father and son stared at each other for a moment. After a while, Li Yiming opened his mouth with a complicated face and persuaded: "Since it is Gu Shilang, then forget it!"

Dingbei Hou Mansion, they can't afford to provoke.

Queen Gu, they can't afford to provoke it!

Li Shangshu glared at his son. Without waiting for him to say anything, Princess Hengyang came out.

came out with Princess Hengyang, as well as Sister Min, who had just turned half a year old.

Sister Min was born white and fat, with delicate eyebrows and eyes. Li Shangshu, who was full of fire, finally smiled a little when he saw his baby granddaughter, and carefully held the child from the nurse's hand.

Although he has grandchildren, he can't be compared with Sister Min. This is the county lord with the blood of the Heavenly Family!

When I think of the bloodline of the Heavenly Family, I can't help but think of the missing position of the secretary of the ministry. Li Shangshu couldn't help but sigh.

Princess Hengyang had already sensed that something was wrong, and asked tentatively: "Father-in-law sighs like this, has he encountered something unsatisfactory?"

Li Shangshu smiled bitterly, and did not hide it: "The emperor issued a holy decree in the court today and appointed Gu Hai as the secretary of the ministry. ”

Princess Hengyang was also taken aback, and her face was a little ugly.

For the sake of Li Shangshu, she cheekily entered the palace to ask the Empress Dowager Min. Empress Dowager Min was lukewarm, but she did not refuse. She also thought that the matter had been settled, and she had been waiting for the good news of her father-in-law's promotion......

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the "surprise" came.

The anger in Princess Hengyang's heart was about to move, and she said in a low voice: "The imperial brother only has the imperial sister-in-law in his eyes. The Gu family already has the title of Marquis of Dingbei, and now it is involved in the position of civil officials. Aren't you afraid that the Gu family will have a different heart in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, the Li father and son suddenly changed color, and said in unison: "Princess, please be careful!"

Li Shangshu is inconvenient to say more, Li Yiming and Princess Hengyang have a good relationship with each other, and they don't have so many scruples, so they quickly whispered: "The princess must not complain." Once these words spread to the palace, the emperor and the mother will definitely be dissatisfied. ”

Look at the cowardice.

Princess Hengyang snorted stupidly and said no more.

……

Three days later, the Dingbei Hou Mansion set up a banquet.

Gu Hai didn't want to be extravagant and high-profile, so he only set up a few seats, and only sent out more than 20 invitations. In addition to the old scholars, they are in-laws and friends.

Most of the people who received the invitation came to the door with their families, which also means that the family is good.

There are not many guests, and there are three seats for each gender, separated by a screen. Most of the guests who came to visit each other knew each other, and they got together to chat and talk, which was quite lively.

This is Daqin's top social circle. It's not easy to get in.

For example, the Fang family, if it weren't for their in-laws, how could they be qualified to come to the door?

Gu Jinli deliberately took leave today and accompanied Gu Hai to greet the visitors. met his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, Gu Jinli was very affectionate, and he was an uncle and aunt.

Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang's hearts, which were hanging in the air, swayed and fell back to their original positions.

On this day, Gu Guanhua and Gu Guanmin, who were married, also returned home, and Yao Ruozhu, who was next door, came a little late, so he was teased: "You live the closest, come back at the latest, and you will be fined three glasses of wine later." ”

Yao Ruozhu pursed her lips and smiled: "It's all children who are naughty, and I came back late." That's it, I'll just drink this penalty wine. ”

Mrs. Tai looked at the three sisters who were laughing, and couldn't help but think of Gu Wanning, and couldn't help but sigh.

As a queen, it is inconvenient to go out of the palace. Gu Guanning hasn't been back for a few years......

At this moment, Gu Jinxing came over with an excited face: "Grandmother, the queen mother and the emperor are coming to the Hou Mansion!"
