Chapter 34: Distressed
Mrs. Yi'an Hou sat down and snorted angrily, "It's all about this, how can the marriage contract still count?"
Outside Changsong Courtyard, Gu Shi glanced at her, and dropped a sentence, "The marriage contract between the prince and Minglan is over." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
didn't say a word to her, and he left.
Besides, just the second girl's sharp teeth and sharp teeth, she doesn't look like a lady, let alone being a wife, even being a concubine for the son, she doesn't want it!
In her life, even the princess and queen spoke politely when they saw her, but she didn't expect to be almost fainted by a yellow-haired girl!
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, Mrs. Yi'an Hou threw up her sleeves and left.
She still has to go to the Ministry of Officials' Mansion for a trip, she said cruel words in the Jingningbo Mansion, if the Ministry of Officials really said that Master Gu was not suitable for promotion, and the Jingningbo Mansion would be unhappy, then she would not have to say that it was her bad thing.
The next day, Liu Shilang handed over the fold to Ding Wei for three years, and the emperor approved it.
On the same day, in the council hall, on the vacancy of the position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice stood up to recommend the eldest master, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu seconded the proposal.
The old lady was in the hall, and when she felt that the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works was the eldest master, it could be said that she was nine out of ten, and there was an accident.
The eldest master's colleagues are also actively planning this position, and invited Wei Guogong and the right minister to recommend it.
For a time, everyone is suitable, and no one is suitable.
The emperor was in a dilemma, so he did not immediately decide who would take over the post of squire of the Ministry of Works.
The next day, it was another rest.
The atmosphere in the house was a little tense, including Minglan, but it was different.
They are nervous about whether the eldest master can be promoted, after all, everyone wants half and half, and they are all trying to win over others and strive for a chance of winning.
And Minglan is nervous that it has been three days, why hasn't the brocade box been delivered yet, hasn't it been found yet?
After the rest, it is the day of the dynasty, and Minglan feels that the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Industry should also be set today, but ...... Or not.
The emperor drank a few more glasses of wine last night, and he got up in the morning with a terrible headache.
This day dragged on, and the heart of the long house was burning, and even the old lady didn't know how to eat it.
Minglan and Gu Rulan were admiring the flowers in the garden, and when they saw a gorgeous iron orchid, they ordered the maid to take them to Changsong Courtyard to show the old lady.
Tielan, also known as purple pineapple, is small and exquisite, beautiful and beautiful.
The old lady liked it very much, praised the filial piety of her two granddaughters, and let the maid put it on the high table.
Outside, the eldest lady came in, and the old lady couldn't help but ask, "Still haven't you believed it yet?"
The eldest lady shook her head, "It is estimated that it is difficult today, the emperor is in a bad mood today, the right attendant of the military department said the wrong thing, and he was demoted by the emperor to a fourth-rank official." ”
"The right attendant of the ministry has been demoted?" the old lady was surprised, "Didn't he only rise to that position last year?"
"It's not last year, and I don't know why the emperor is angry, everyone is very careful," the eldest lady shook her head.
Gu Shi also sought that position last year, but unfortunately the gift has not been given out, and the emperor has been appointed.
Now that the position was vacant again, a thought flashed through the old lady's heart, and soon, it was pinched again.
In a mansion, there have not been two waiters at the same time, here I will send the eldest man to the position of the waiter in the Ministry of Works, and then help Gu Shi plan, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military should say that the Gu family is greedy.
Moreover, Gu Shi is not in the Ministry of War now, it is much more difficult than the big master, and when he encounters the position of the big master fighting for the position of the squire of the Ministry of Labor, it can be said that Gu Shi is hopeless.
In his previous life, Gu Shi didn't sit in the position of a squire, and Minglan didn't think about it, if he could live and live well, what was the high-ranking official Houlu?
Besides, even if she wanted to, she didn't have that ability.
In anticipation, another day passed.
The next day, the old lady went to the court full of hope.
I thought that it would be the same as that day, in the Council Hall to compete for the position of the Ministry of Labor, who would have thought that as soon as this matter was mentioned, the emperor said that he already had a candidate for the left waiter of the Ministry of Works.
The father-in-law read the will, and the old lady was nervous.
As a result, neither the eldest lord nor Lord Xu, who was fighting with the eldest lord, actually killed a dark horse.
When the old lady returned home, she was very disappointed.
The eldest lord was even more depressed, not only failed to be promoted, but also gave out so many heavy gifts, which made him feel distressed when he thought about it.
The fourth master said, "It's fortunate that Lord Xu is promoted, the eldest brother is fighting with him, if he takes the position, the eldest brother's life in the Ministry of Industry will be sad." ”
Thinking like this, my heart felt a little better, and the old lady saw that the old man was sullen, and urged, "Why don't you hurry up and prepare a generous gift to go to Lord Wu's mansion to congratulate!"
The eldest man gritted his teeth secretly, he should have come to the house to congratulate him, but now he has congratulated others!
To be honest, Minglan was also surprised by such a result.
She didn't meddle in the matter of the eldest lord and a certain official, why is the result so different from her previous life?
The old lady was very disappointed, and then asked, "I can't think of the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, but what about the right waiter of the Ministry of War, is there any hope?"
The old lady felt that the gift sent out would definitely not be returned, and even if it was returned, it would be impossible for the house to accept it.
The eldest lady's face is a little gloomy, this is to use the money of the big house to help the second room to find an official, and she thinks beautifully!
What was she about to say, the old man glanced at her and didn't allow her to say.
It's not that the eldest lord is kind, but it's impossible for Gu Shi to be the right attendant of the military department, the old lady doesn't understand the things in the court, doesn't the old lady know?
Why bother to open your mouth and say something unpleasant, lest people think that if you can't get the big house, you won't be able to see the second room.
No, the old lady shook her head, "I know that there is no hope, and I still go to open that mouth, I don't have to make the Ministry of Industry Shangshu feel that he has received benefits, so he must help the uncle's house, and if there is anything to ask for in the future, people will not dare to respond." ”
If it was in his previous life, when the old lady said this, Minglan would definitely think that he was biased.
Now that I listen to it again, I only feel that what the old lady said is reasonable.
The old lady sighed lightly and said, "I just mentioned it casually, no, then forget it, I can't rise this time, there is always a chance to rise." ”
That being said, it's not that easy to go up.
There was chatting in the house, and a maid outside came in and said, "Second master, Muyang Hou is here." ”
When Minglan heard this, there was surprise on his face, "Uncle is here, I'll go to meet him." ”
As he spoke, he walked out briskly.
But she walked a few steps, and Mu Zhen came in and said with a smile, "No need to greet you, my uncle is already here." ”
When Gu Shi saw Mu Zhen, he smiled and said, "Why did you have to come here?"
Mu Zhen said with a smile, "Recently, I have got a few new good inkstones, and I know that you and the old uncle like them, so I specially sent them to you." ”
As he spoke, Mu Zhen glanced at Minglan and saw her smile playfully.
This is what Minglan asked, if she knew that the red silk inkstone was hers, she would definitely ask for it when she turned around, and her uncle gave it to them, and it was not easy for them to open their mouths, and more importantly, the old lady would not give the inkstone to the eldest master.
