Early in the dynasty, Emperor Wen unexpectedly announced the news that the fourth prince Chu Shaohan would go to Fujian.

It seems that the four princes also knew that this trip to Fujian could not be avoided, so they gladly accepted it.

However, some courtiers in the court discussed a lot in private, I don't know what Emperor Wen plans to do this time, and the appointment of the Fujian general army has not yet come down, so let the prince pass, is it possible that one third prince is not weighty enough, and then send a fourth prince to rectify Fujian's government affairs?

Emperor Wen didn't give the courtiers much time to react, and immediately set the Fujian General Army Wang Li, and Wang Li's original position as the governor of Fujian was placed Xie Jianning up, which was almost a leveling jump, which frightened some ministers, originally thought that Xie Jianning could enter the cabinet without accident, but he didn't expect that Xie Jianning would be promoted to the position of Fujian governor.

This shows that if Xie Yanning wants to enter the cabinet, he will have to work harder. I don't know if Xie Yanning will resent this big brother in his heart.

In fact, they didn't know that as early as a few days ago, Emperor Wen had asked Xie Yanning in Shang Shufang.

At that time, Emperor Wen's expression seemed to be a little incredulous, he looked at Xie Yanning and asked in a deep voice: "Aiqing, do you know what the transfer of officials written on this fold is related to?"

Xie Yanning nodded: "The minister thinks that these two people are very suitable for the top of the fold." ”

Emperor Wen didn't have to look at the folds to know the content above, Wang Li was appointed as the chief soldier at the same level, but Xie Jianning was promoted to three levels in a row, which is something that has rarely happened since the founding of Dayan.

Emperor Wen looked at him and sighed slightly: "Do you know that I originally intended to let you follow the path of Lord Xie Ningyuan, enter the cabinet, and become a cabinet scholar." If you are right, I am afraid that the position of a cabinet member will be given to someone else. ”

In any case, it is impossible for a family to produce two or three officials who serve as first- and second-rank officials in the court, even if the emperor trusts the family again, it is impossible, let alone such a position as a cabinet scholar.

Xie Yanning looked solemn: "The emperor has raised his love for his ministers, since the ministers are the servants of the ministry, they have the responsibility to select the most suitable candidates for the imperial court, and the ministers will not regret it." ”

The coldness on Emperor Wen's face melted slightly after his words, and there was a shallow smile on his face, as if he thought of something, and sighed: "I really didn't see the wrong person, Master Xie's style and bones can be regarded as someone who has inherited it, so it's okay, I will approve your recital, Xie Jianning knows everything he has done in Fujian this year, and it is indeed not a loss for him to do this position." ”

Emperor Wen made a decision with one sentence, and he had this will in the court now.

And no matter how others speculated, Xie Yanning always had a faint smile on his face, neither anxious about missing the opportunity to enter the cabinet, nor would he lose his temper because of the promotion of his eldest brother, as indifferent as in the past.

……

After getting off the court, walking on the road, the surrounding courtiers couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at Xie Yanning.

Several ministers who were good friends even secretly invited him to the restaurant for a drink to comfort and comfort him, but Xie Yanning refused.

When I returned home, my sister-in-law Qiao was a guest in her inner courtyard, and when she saw him come back, her face was a little confused, as if she had done something to him, she hurriedly saluted, and said, "The third uncle came back so early, I still have something to do there" and left.

Zhou shook his head, helped Xie Yanning change his clothes, and said: "Although I know your intentions, my sister-in-law always feels a little sorry for us, this is not, as soon as she received the holy decree, she came to discuss with me to see how to let you enter the cabinet, and said that you can't delay your future because of this." ”

After Xie Yanning washed his face full of wind and frost, he turned his head to look at his wife, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't care about these things: " The matter of Fujian is still Brother Che'er came back to tell me, I think about it, only by pushing the eldest brother to the position of the governor, can the general military palace be contained, and Fujian now looks like in addition to internal worries, but in fact it is a mess, if you casually appoint a governor from the Yunfu Tang officials, although there will be no mistakes in the big picture, but it is difficult to guarantee that the forces left by Qin Bohou will not make any moves, only let the eldest brother, who has been in Fujian for many years and knows Fujian, manage Fujian, so that there will be no big mistakes. ”

As for himself, although the opportunity to enter the cabinet is precious, but losing this time does not mean that there will be no next time, nothing can only look at the immediate interests, but look at the distance, not to mention that although the Xie family does not clearly stand in line, no matter who looks at him, he will be regarded as the Three Kings Party, which is also a reason why he is eager to push Xie Jianning to the position of governor of Fujian.

Seeing that the emperor has the heart to rectify Fujian, and the three princes have injuries that can't go, the selection falls on the four princes, and he still knows a little bit about the temperament of the four princes, looking silent, but in fact he is a person who can be ruthless, there is nothing terrible about such a person being a courtier, if he becomes an emperor, I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful.

Thinking about the third prince who grew up watching him since he was a child, Xie Yanning sighed rarely.

The third prince is bold and careful enough, and compared to the methods of the fourth prince, he is by no means inferior, and even a person who can be ruthless to himself.

If you want to come to the prince of the heavenly family, which one is worry-free?

I just hope that these princes will gain momentum, and not turning their heads and denying people is the greatest comfort.

……

In the blink of an eye, Laba arrived, and Chanyi cooked a lot of porridge on the day of Laba Festival, and sent a few bowls to her relatives and some people in the clan.

This time it was impartial, almost every family had it, which made many people's speculation a little heavier for no reason.

I don't know if Prince and Princess An are trying to win over the people in the clan, or if they want to cover it up because of the last incident.

Hearing these rumors, Chanyi couldn't help but sneer, human nature is really ridiculous, she doesn't send one, she doesn't send all, these people are idle one by one, and they can pick out three points from their mouths if they have nothing to do, no matter what she does, someone will talk nonsense on the side.

When attending Xiao Pei's wedding banquet, Chanyi couldn't help but spit out bitterness to Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing shook his head, "You should have known that these people like to arrange people all day long when they have nothing to do, so why should you care so much." ”

"Although I have seen countless people since I was a child, when I think of them with such broken mouths, I can't help but seal all their mouths in my heart. ”

Where did she care about these rumors, she just felt that these people were like flies, buzzing in her ears, but there was no fly swatting thing in her hands, and she couldn't help but feel a little upset.

"You," Xiao Qing looked at Chanyi, feeling that a delicate young lady would look good when she had a temper, and she didn't want her to bother with these things, so she asked her with a smile, "Don't you see any difference between me today?"

As soon as she said this, Chanyi stopped her troubled thoughts and glanced at Xiao Qing, "I'm dressed up very well today, Sister Qing is afraid that the new sister-in-law will leave a bad impression when she enters the door, so she will be so tight." ”

Xiao Qing's eyes widened: "What? You say I'm afraid of leaving a bad impression? My second brother married a sister-in-law who grew up with us since childhood, the sister of General Qin's family, she is even more like a tomboy than me in heaven and earth, if she hadn't been engaged to my second brother early, I'm afraid she would be even more difficult to find her in-law than me!"

Chanyi was amused by her straightforward words, when she was not in Yunfu, she thought all day long that she didn't know when she would see each other again, and she could talk together.

When she came back, I felt that she was so arrogant that it was a headache.

Su Chanyi has a more powerful magic weapon, she looked at Xiao Qing, her face was full of smiles: "The second brother will also come over today, I heard my mother say that the day of the two of you has been set for March after the Chinese New Year, you can't say that it is difficult to find your mother-in-law's family anymore, but my mother is looking forward to marrying you into the door as soon as possible." ”

One sentence made Xiao Qing stop his mouth, and his cheeks were even more flushed.

"You always like to make fun of me," Xiao Qing said a little chatteringly, "Actually, I also want to get married earlier, these days my father always let me embroider wedding dresses at home, you don't know, I don't like to fiddle with these since I was a child, a good wedding dress in my hand, it can become a rag in less than a day, but let me embroider with my hand with a sword, it's just ......"

Xiao Qing rolled his eyes up weakly, looking loveless.

Chanyi couldn't help but smile and leaned back, "Don't you have an embroidery lady at home? Why do you still let you embroider a wedding dress, isn't this kind of thing a past occasion to pose, it's my wedding dress, and I just embroidered a neckline and hem." ”

Xiao Qing looked at her with a sad face: "Who said that I was allowed to embroider alone, I also only embroidered the neckline and hem, how do you know that it is not simple, I have already dismantled and re-embroidered several times, you see my hands, large and small are needle eyes, I will suffer this crime for another three months, if it is not for Xia Mingche, I am afraid that I would have run away from the marriage." ”

Chanyi was so amused by her appearance that her stomach hurt with laughter.

As he was talking, a woman dressed as a young woman came over and looked at Xiao Qing with a gentle expression: "The second sister is still joking with the princess here, and my father is looking for you, saying that after the newcomer comes in, he wants you to help him to recognize his relatives." ”

Xiao Qing restrained her expression at this time, and when she saw Chanyi looking at the person in front of her curiously, she remembered that she hadn't introduced Chanyi yet, "This is my sister-in-law Wu Yujiao, she is happy, the eldest brother is afraid that she will be wronged in the northwest, so he asked the guards to send her back to raise the baby, and my sister-in-law will return to the northwest after giving birth to my little nephew." ”

Chanyi smiled and nodded to greet Grandma Xiao: "I have long heard my sister say that my sister-in-law is a beauty, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

In fact, Xiao Qing mentioned this sister-in-law several times, and her words were full of admiration: no matter what errand the eldest brother received, the sister-in-law could always go to work with the eldest brother with a smile, and a few times the eldest brother escaped death, and the sister-in-law took care of the eldest brother without sleep, the eldest brother was originally a very tough person, but as long as he faced the sister-in-law, he could always be gentle.

Chanyi knows this Xiao grandmother, her maiden name is Wu, a native of Huaizhou, she grew up on the bank of the Qinhuai River since she was a child, she has a good temperament, and she is the most gentle person, she is the only girl in the family, the Wu family in Huaizhou is a big family, and the family pursues a pampered daughter, and the marriage between the Wu family and the Xiao family was still set after the war many years ago, and General Xiao saved the head of the family.

Although General Xiao died of his wife, the Wu family did not dislike it at all, and still married his pampered daughter as promised.

The most famous of the harmonious couples in Yunfu City is not their grandmother and grandfather, but such a pair of young people.

Chanyi looked at Xiao's grandmother Wu's eyes full of kindness, Wu only thought that she was because of Xiao Qing, so she treated herself very kindly, and said with a smile: "Today's second uncle's wedding banquet is too busy, and I ask the princess to forgive me for the poor hospitality, and the concubine will be the east on another day, and invite the princess to come to the house for a banquet, and my father has something to explain to the second sister, so I had to ask the princess to go, and then let the second sister accompany the princess when the matter is over, and ask the princess not to be surprised." ”

Chanyi smiled and waved her hand: "Grandma Xiao is polite, since Sister Qing has something to do, let's go quickly, don't delay, it doesn't matter if I'm here, it's time to start the banquet after a while." ”

Xiao Qing naturally wouldn't be polite to her, and said a word to come back to you after a while, then turned around and left with the Wu family.

Chanyi was left sitting on the chair with her head thoughtful.

There are some things in her previous life that she may not be able to remember, not that she has a bad memory, but some things have nothing to do with her at all, so she just heard about it.

It's just that she still remembers the matter of the couple Wu and Xiao Wei deeply.

When she first met Xiao Qing earlier, she once sighed that the three brothers and sisters of the Xiao family were the famous Xiao family trifecta in Dayan, and the three brothers and sisters were all generals.

But in fact, when Xiao Wei died in battle, Xiao Qing was not a general, and Xiao Pei was just training in the Xishan camp.

There are many rumors in Yunfu City, sometimes they may not be false, just like this Wu family, she was originally pregnant and would have a miscarriage in the fifth month, because the news of Xiao Wei's defeat and capture came in the fifth month, and the Wu family is such a gentle and gentle woman, taking her husband as the sky, she heard the news and was pregnant, which was dangerous.

After Wu's miscarriage, the news of Xiao Wei's death quickly spread to Yunfu, and it seems that Xiao Wei insisted until the last moment and did not let the enemy get any reliable news, but won time for the four princes of the overseer at that time, so that the battle could be won.

After Xiao Wei's death, the people of the Wu family wanted to take the Wu family back, but the Wu family insisted on refusing to remarry, and did not live past the age of twenty-five after keeping the name of Xiao Wei's wife.

At that time, she also sighed that the word "deep love" is really not a good word.

These things in the memory are already far, far away, and Xiao Wei in this life is also stationed in Yanmen Pass, there will be no more tragedies like this, Chan Yi couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, the reborn life has changed the trajectory of many people's lives, and all the people she cares about are getting better and better, so Chu Shaoyuan will also get better and better.

Chanyi's brows loosened slightly, but the next moment she wrinkled tightly.

Xiao Wei in the previous life seems to have gone...... Fujian!
