Chapter 736: Before Marriage
On the day when the marriage decree was handed down, Li Guangwen was playing chess with Shangfeng, surrounded by three or five colleagues who were watching chess.
Hearing the news from the little servant in the house, Li Guangwen asked with a dark face: "You will get married in seven days?"
The little girl's face turned white with fright.
The eldest man really doesn't pay attention to what he says, this is a marriage, who dares to talk too much, he actually said that he heard it wrong.
"No, sir, hurry back to the house, the old lady is still waiting for you to go back and discuss." β
"Okay, I'll go back!" Li Guangwen lifted the table and ran away.
A chess piece bounced up and hit the door of Shangfeng's head.
Shangfeng rubbed his forehead, his face instantly turned black to the bottom of the pot, and several colleagues looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, so they had to bow their heads and endure it.
Shangfeng let go of his hand and took a secret breath.
He doesn't bother with that shit-lucky mallet.
If he hadn't bumped into a son-in-law like Champion Hou, he would have to let that mallet know what the majesty of Shangfeng was!
"It's all gone. β
The crowd dispersed.
Hanlin Academy was originally a place where people were in a panic, and with such a gossip, it immediately spread.
When Qiao Mo returned to the yamen, he happened to hear these discussions, and he couldn't help but pause.
The emperor gave the eldest sister and the champion Hou and ordered them to get married in seven days, what is going on?
Obviously, Shao Mingyuan did not confide in Qiao Mo that the marriage date would be advanced.
As soon as he saw Qiao Mo coming, the discussion stopped, and everyone looked at him with a little subtlety.
As the brother-in-law of the champion Hou, now that his brother-in-law is about to marry a newcomer, I don't know how he feels in his heart?
Qiao Mo had just been in the Hanlin Academy for a few months, and he had a good relationship with his colleagues, but it changed when Xu Mingda, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, asked him to go to the cabinet on an errand.
After the three years of the new science and technology scholars are assigned, they either enter the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi, or go to the six ministries and other places to observe the government, these Guanzheng Jinshi practice government affairs for several months, at this time have been assigned to all parts of the country to take office, only the selected Hanlin Academy of Jishi will be mixed for three years before the official will be awarded.
But now the problem is here, some busy yamen need obedient and sensible newcomers to do some chores, as soon as the officials leave, the chief will set his eyes on the freshly baked scholars.
There is no way, the old guys who have not been able to rise up and stay in the Hanlin Academy have learned oil, and they are not easy to use, so these newly baked Shujishi will be borrowed by a certain yamen to help from time to time.
Qiao Mo is the champion, and he was directly awarded the official position of Hanlin Xiu, and the general yamen is not easy to send, but he didn't expect to get the second assistant Qingyan and ask him to go to the cabinet to do things.
If you take the opportunity to win the favor of the cabinet elders, you will be able to make steady progress just around the corner, and you may not be able to enter the cabinet in less than 20 years.
This Qiao Mo is really lucky, or from a good background, who makes the family the grandson of the great Confucian Qiao Zhuo, this time Xu Mingda and Qiao Zhuo are in the same department.
No matter how everyone secretly comforted themselves, they didn't feel good in their hearts, and they didn't feel so affectionate when they looked at Qiao Mo again.
Qiao Mo has experienced a great change in his family, and he has long since changed from a noble son who ignores mundane things to a thoughtful person, who doesn't understand these changes.
He just smiled at it, and smiled at people as usual.
The friendship of the same department is not ordinary, but with the death of my grandfather, how many friendships are left?
If anyone is happy to help him, but at the risk of offending Lan Shoufu and asking him to go to the cabinet chief to see, this is definitely not ordinary.
Qiao Mo thought about this, and his mood was a little complicated.
Xu Ge Lao brought him, and the reason couldn't be more obvious, he should have a family affair with the Xu family.
He is still in the filial piety period, and the discussion of relatives naturally cannot be put on the agenda, but once this kind of thing is done, it will become a tacit matter between the two parties, and there will be no reason to regret it.
Qiao Mo's mind was now filled with the fact that his sister was suddenly married, and he was busy going to Shangfeng to take leave.
Everyone in the Hanlin Academy knew that this new champion had a bright future, and Shangfeng naturally did not feel embarrassed, and happily approved the leave.
Qiao Mo hurried back to the Champion Hou Mansion.
There are two decrees for marriage, one to be read in Loei, and the other to be read in the palace of the champion.
When Qiao Mo rushed back, the eunuch had already left, and the entire Hou Mansion was beaming, and the subordinates rolled up their sleeves and began to sweep, and even some personal guards joined.
"Childe be careful with your step. Seeing Qiao Mo walking fast, the sweeping servant reminded.
Qiao Mo went straight to Shao Mingyuan's residence, and saw Shao Mingyuan standing in the courtyard with a happy face admiring the snow, and asked directly: "Tingquan, what's the matter with the marriage?"
Shao Mingyuan smiled, looking innocent: "Huh?"
"I just returned to the Hanlin Academy, and I heard my colleagues in the Hanlin Academy talking about the emperor's marriage to you. β
"Yes, I was stunned when I received the marriage decree just now, and I still feel like I'm dreaming. β
"So you didn't hear the wind beforehand?"
Shao Mingyuan nodded sincerely.
Anyway, I can't admit it if I am killed, and let my uncle know that he is going to marry someone home if he doesn't insist until Zhao Zhao and Lu, and it is certain that he will be blinded.
Qiao Mo frowned: "What does that mean?"
"Maybe I think it's hard for me to lead the troops to fight, so I specially give me a marriage to show the emperor's favor. β
Qiao Mo thought about it, and there seemed to be no more reasonable reason, so he had to accept it.
"As long as that one doesn't think otherwise. β
The corners of Shao Mingyuan's mouth lifted lightly, and he smiled faintly.
Of course, he won't think about anything else, and on the day of his wedding to Zhaozhao, the emperor will go into retreat, and it can't be cleaner.
Speaking of which, seven days is really long, and the emperor didn't set it for three days later, which was really beyond his expectations.
Li Guangwen returned to Loei Mansion with wind on the soles of his feet, but found that he couldn't find Mrs. Deng and He's family, so he had to grab a mother-in-law and ask, "What about the old ladies?"
The mother-in-law smiled: "The masters are busy arranging the marriage of the three girls, and the old slave is happy to the eldest master." β
Li Guangwen rolled his eyes and walked away.
Hey, his watery girl is about to be someone else's!
In the Yamen of the Jinlin Guard, Jiang Yuanchao, who got the news, sat in the study for a long time and did not speak.
The water outside was dripping into ice, but the room was as warm as a spring day, and he wore a slim robe with blue and thin cotton, which was as clear as jade, but he was much thinner than last spring.
Jiang He rolled his eyes and didn't dare to say anything.
It's going to snow, and your sweetheart is going to get married, no one can stop it, anyway, it's always sad, so it's better to hurry up and not be late.
After a long time, Jiang Yuanchao stood up, raised his feet and walked out.
"My lord, clothesβ" Jiang He picked up the big coat on the screen and chased it out.
As soon as he went out of the door, the biting cold wind blew in his face, and the thin cotton robe naturally couldn't stop it, Jiang Yuanchao shivered, but he didn't take the big handed by Jiang He, and strode to the courtyard under the tree to look into the distance.
"Sir, put on your coat quickly, or you will freeze." β
"The winter is getting colder every year. Jiang Yuanchao sighed lightly and said, putting on a big hat, but the chill in his heart did not go away for a long time.
