The emperor looked at the look on his son's face, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

He frowned and thought about it, although the Zhu family already has the title of Marquis of Wenchang, but there is no real power in the family, if you want an errand with real power, it is impossible to give a particularly big right, and although this water conservancy yamen has some real power, it is not a big official in the end, and the errand of Xiaoen Xiaohui should be to give the second son of the Zhu family a future.

He pondered for a long time, although he did not directly agree, but the expression on his face was already agreeable.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but be taken aback, and they didn't know what the emperor meant.

The Zhu family is more like exploding the pot.

Zhu Bi was called into the room by the old lady Zhu of Wenchanghou, and his fingertips almost pierced his head.

"You, an unfilial grandson, when did you catch Prince An, and you actually stepped on your brother's shoulders and climbed up!" He gasped for breath, his voice was like a bellows, and his chest was heaving and heaving.

Zhu Bi didn't expect Prince An to want him to enter the Ministry of Engineering, he opened his eyes wide in fear and looked at his grandfather.

"I don't know what's going on! Grandfather, how can you say that about me! ”

Old lady Zhu called him over, originally not to ask him about the cause and effect, but because of some things in recent days, he has deviated more and more from his own teachings, making him a grandfather's heartache, and there is such a thing, he will call Zhu Bi to scold, but he didn't expect that his grandson didn't admit his mistake first, but instead denied it with his neck, making him angry and angry.

Mrs. Zhu on the side couldn't help but scold: "Your grandfather scolded you, and you endured it, where is there such a mouthful of you!" Even your father doesn't have such good skills as you! ”

Zhu Bi's heart hurts, his grandfather and grandmother have always disliked his father and don't like him, they only have one eldest brother in their hearts, and now the eldest brother is affected by Princess Fengyi and can no longer take a step forward in his career, and the family also carries such a nondescript title, his grandfather and grandmother are not happy, so they look for him, but yesterday's incident, he has clearly made it clear to his mother.

He couldn't help sighing, but he didn't say anything more, just knelt straight and didn't say more.

Mrs. Zhu heard from the housekeeper mother beside her that her father-in-law and mother-in-law had found a second son, and she felt a chill in her heart, she had not explained to her parents-in-law about yesterday's incident, but she was afraid that her father-in-law and mother-in-law would blame her son again.

She hurriedly came in, leaned down beside Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu, and told Feng Yi everything she had done yesterday.

Only then did Mrs. Zhu know why Zhu Bi was arranged by Prince An into the Ministry of Works, and all the feelings were caused by Feng Yi.

The cruelty on Old Lady Zhu's face subsided, and she sighed slightly in her heart when she looked at her grandson who was kneeling on the ground, but her waist was straight.

How could such good luck not be put on the eldest grandson, but it was given to the second grandson who is the most pedantic like the son in the family, it is really providential!

He changed his gloomy face to a kind one, and said in a deep voice: "Since this is your good fortune, then you will be on an errand in the Ministry of Industry from now on, among the six departments, only the errand of the Ministry of Industry is the most popular, you go in first to grasp the big and small affairs in your hands, and it will be easy to arrange for the descendants of our Zhu family to enter the Ministry of Industry in the future." ”

He didn't expect this grandson to do much, as long as the power of their Zhu family's lineage grew stronger, the grandson's son and even the grandson's grandson would stand tall in Yunfu in the future.

And the dispute between the third prince and the fourth prince, as long as the fourth prince is clear, even the second grandson is on an errand in the Ministry of Industry, and there are only good things and no bad things.

Zhu Bi heard the words of the old lady Zhu, and couldn't help but look up at his grandfather, only to see that his cloudy eyes revealed a shrewd and calculating color, so that he couldn't recognize the old man in front of him as the grandfather who held his hand and taught him to read and write since he was a child.

The disappointment and pain in his heart gradually converged into a sadness that he could not speak.

Originally, his mind was not in the government, he just wanted to repair books and make more documents for future generations, but things often did not allow him to be idle.

He was really tired of fighting, and he didn't refute, but just kowtowed to Mrs. Zhu steadily, and responded: "Grandson knows." ”

Although there are many rumors that Zhu Bi was used by the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Bi still went to the Ministry of Industry after the documents came down.

……

Because the wedding date of Zhu Bi and Xie Shuangyun is scheduled for July this year, Xie San's wife Zhou knew that Zhu Bi was on an errand in the Ministry of Industry, and said to Xie Shuangyun: "Mother said before, although Brother Bi is the second line, he is not as good as Brother Xuan at home, but it is good that he is right-minded and sincere, so there will be such a blessing waiting for him, you don't think so, there are not many people in Manyunfu City who can have such a husband, you don't pick your nose and pick your eyes, you must treat him wholeheartedly after passing the door, and he will treat you like this!" ”

Xie Shuangyun will be married in a few days, although she will be a year older again, but there are still some things in her heart that cannot be passed, so when she heard her mother's words, she just took it as a deaf ear, but she remembered in her heart that Chu Shaoyuan actually got Zhu Bi into the Ministry of Industry for Chanyi.

She sighed a little in her heart for a while, he was just as stupid as her, treating Chanyi so well, so good that he was even willing to throw out the rights in his own hands for her, for fear that her reputation would be tarnished a little bit.

Yes, there are constant rumors in Yunfu City.

Among the various rumors, there are the most rumors in Prince An's mansion, and now there is a matter of Zhu Bi entering the Ministry of Industry, many people say in private that Zhu Bi took the path of Prince An and Princess An, and he will be brought into the Ministry of Industry by Prince An.

Among them, the officials of the Ministry of Industry saw Zhu Bi, and they all nodded respectfully.

This makes the rumor a little more true.

It's just that these rumors have no influence in the end, and these days happen to be busy when the Ministry of Industry is busy, so Zhu Bi also followed Shangfeng all day long without touching the ground.

When these rumors reached Zhu Bi's ears, he only felt that there was a bad breath in his heart, so that he couldn't release it, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

He had never heard such rumors, so he was able to devote himself to the water conservancy project, but if he knew it, he would never be so relaxed, and he would definitely think of ways to clarify the matter, or simply resign.

But now, he has been doing more than a month in the Ministry of Industry, all kinds of affairs are in hand, especially the last few errands are more cautious, if you rashly resign, I am afraid that the affairs in hand will be handed over to others to do, others will not be able to do it, and it will be the people who will suffer at that time.

This made him very distressed.

The whole person couldn't help but become more and more silent.

……

The other party, Chanyi, was lying on the couch with a relaxed face at the moment, looking at the letter sent back from Fujian from Xia Mingchen, smiling so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

Xian Xianyu pointed to a few lines on the letterhead and showed Chu Shaoyuan, who was peeling the fruit with a fruit on the side, "Look at how funny this thing the big brother said, that widow is so stupid, he treats the grass boat as a cargo ship, and they all go up to rob it, who knows that he fell into the ambush of the big brother and them, and more than 100 people were annihilated in this battle, it's really happy!" ”

Chu Shaoyuan didn't need to raise his eyes to know what was written on the letterhead, because he had received the battle report earlier, and he knew what Xia Mingchen and Xiao Pei had done in Fujian, but now seeing Chan Yi so happy, he couldn't help laughing.

Wen Sheng echoed: "It's still the eldest brother who expects things like a god, although this is only the first battle, but the morale of the army is greatly boosted, and it will inevitably become more and more brave in the future, and it is bound to be able to beat all the Japanese people back, so you can rest assured." ”

As he spoke, he cut the peeled fruit, tied a piece with a silver chisel, and fed it to her mouth.

The sweet fruit happened to be sweet into her heart along with the good news in the family letter, Chan Yi raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Shaoyuan, her eyes were full of approval: "Yi Shu is right, it will get better and better in the future." ”

Chu Shaoyuan hugged her with a smile and looked at her gently, "Your fourteenth birthday will be in another month, but what do you want?" ”

Chanyi's glass-like eyes stared over, blinking her eyes slightly.

"Life flies so fast, it's about to be my birthday."

In previous years, her birthdays were spent with her parents and brothers, but now they have become relatives in advance, only she and Chu Shaoyuan celebrate, she is a little indifferent, and her fourteenth birthday is a little small, not suitable for big operations.

She smiled and said: "It's not a big day, it's good to ask the kitchen to make a bowl of longevity noodles at that time, but the plum wine I got out has not been opened, just on the day of my birthday, I opened it, try to see if there is any good taste brewed in previous years." ”

Chu Shaoyuan is a person who does everything by her, as long as she accompanies him, every day is a festival, so after rubbing her neck a few times, he won't say more, but the birthday gift was prepared in advance, just to make her happy.

However, although Chanyi's birthday was early, it was not a few days before Xie Shuangyun's birthday, and Chanyi frowned with some distress.

"It's easy to say anything about my own birthday, but other people's birthdays are not so easy to pass, especially Sister Shuangyun's birthday is still a big day, my mother wants me to be a praiser for Sister Shuangyun, I want to think about it, there is no reason to refuse, so I agreed, what birthday gift do you say I should give her?"

This is the most distressing thing for Chanyi in recent days.

Chu Shaoyuan saw that her eyebrows and eyes were furrowed, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he wanted to laugh at her for being too serious, but looking at her distressed appearance, he still couldn't bear to laugh at her, just leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, helping her come up with an idea: "Hairpin, or head, or send an ornament or calligraphy and painting, there is always something you like." ”

Chanyi shook her head: "Cousin Shuangyun is very picky, the hairpin head is not jadeite, the ornaments are not the best ornaments from the official kiln, and the calligraphy and painting are even more authentic works of Zhang Jushi, where are there so many real works of Jushi for me to meet!" ”
