Xia Yan married the pearl of the palm, and was close to Liu Shangshu's family, and he was extremely happy in his heart.

Although the two are at the same level, if they talk about it, Jing Zhaoyin is not as direct as the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. One side is in charge of the security of the capital, but there is also a five-city soldier and horse division to contain each other, but the other side is a **** who can enter the palace and face the saint, which is extremely valued today. Not to mention anything else, Liu Shangshu alone is nearly ten years younger than him, and it may be difficult to pay homage to the marquis, but it is a sure thing to be promoted to a first-class member in the future.

His family knows his own affairs, and he can achieve his current position, which is almost the end of his career, and it is difficult to make progress, at most, when he is a leader, he can give him a few thin noodles and add one or two.

The Xia family started from scratch, if it weren't for the sudden rescue of the ancestors, they might be a mud leg now. Xia Yannai is Liu's parent, although Luo Ziqian was pregnant when he came, but because of the birth, he only regarded him as his own son and grew up with a single child.

What kind of person is Luo Ziqian? The concubine in the palace, backed by the General's Mansion, grew up like a man, and after decades of court life, she did not block the news to be the lady of the boudoir.

To tell the truth, her mental vision is beyond the reach of ordinary men, but I am afraid that she is much stronger than Old Man Xia.

The children she taught, even if they have poor qualifications, will definitely not be too ambitious and think very highly of themselves.

It was Xia Yan who saw his own status and position clearly, and he quickly found the right position.

It is difficult to rely on seniority to improve, and the foundation of his family is not as rich as that of the noble family, and he is not a champion who is full of talent.

Can be ...... today To put it irreverently, he is already old, and this saint does not know when it will come to an end.

To say that Xia Yan didn't think about the skill of the dragon, it must be fake. The eldest husband is standing on his own, how can he have no plan at all?

But whether it is Luo Ziqian or Old Man Xia, he is very firm in his position - this can be seen from the new family rule that the daughters of the Xia family are not allowed to enter the palace, and the husband and wife are more willing to stay away from the royal family.

When Xia Yan was young and vigorous, he had similar thoughts, and he argued with Old Man Xia behind closed doors, but the result was that he was shocked. Now he slowly got up from the official of the end and climbed to the position of a big official, but gradually understood more and more that the battle between the royal family often involves the whole body, and it is better to stay out of the matter!

Once the dizzy mind comes to his senses, the whole person is as wise as taking a big tonic pill. Whether it is a Mo family or a Legalist, it is only brilliant in one period, but the reason why the golden mean has stood for thousands of years is not to occupy a flat word? Only by standing upright, can you be strict with the law, and only then can you be as stable as a big ship in the court, and not be the boat!

Therefore, all the marriages of his children were chosen from inconsequential families.

For example, the eldest daughter-in-law, the An family, is a relative of the older generation of the Yasukuni family. Yasukuni Gong was originally a person who relied on his military exploits and never relied on the party to conspire, so countless noble families were headed by him. Although the An family is the daughter of the Yasukuni clan, the two families have already produced five suits, that is, even the nine clans can't take their turn, but they are just relatives. An's maiden family is considered a noble, but it is a declining noble.

The second daughter-in-law, Xia Yan originally planned to find a girl like the Mei family in the second room, but she didn't want the Wu family to make trouble and let her son marry her own niece. He already lost two points to the Wu family in his heart, so he let it go, the left and right little Wu family's family was mediocre, and his father was a lifter, and he could barely be regarded as a cultivator.

Therefore, when marrying his daughter-in-law, Xia Yan was very cautious. In the end, the second son of Liu Shangshu's family was decided, also because their family was noble. Liu Shangshu is in charge of the Criminal Department, not to mention that he is very fair, and there are still seven or eight points. Because his position is very important, almost all of the people who can stand in the Criminal Department are today's henchmen, and these people will be used by the new emperor to ascend the throne in the future.

was able to marry the Liu family, and he felt that his family had hit a big luck!

"Mother said that the second brother came to a letter, and Brother Dao Xiu'er had already settled on the south side." On this day, Xia Yan came home from Jingzhao Mansion, and only then did he take off his official robe and change into homely clothes, when he heard Wu suddenly mention his younger brother's family who were released outside, and he immediately listened.

"Brother Xiu'er is seventeen now, right? It's time to decide, which family's children are you talking about? ”

Wu glanced at him and said, "It is said that she is the niece and nephew of the prefect of Baoding, she is only fourteen years old, she knows how to be polite and supple, and the second brother and sister like it very much." ”

Xia Yan frowned when he heard this.

The prefect is a high-ranking official from the fourth rank, and his niece is much stronger than Mei Hanlin's granddaughter.

The long and weak and the young are strong, not the appearance of the family. But thinking that Brother Yi's daughter-in-law in the house is pregnant, but she is still only married, I am afraid that it will take two years to get married, so it doesn't hurt to think about it.

This family business is also a good match, one is the son and nephew of the Sanpin Jingguan, and the other is the niece of the prefect, and it is also a match.

The second brother is not a person without measure, and he also has a plan when he thinks about it.

Therefore, he didn't mention it, and only said: "The second brother is not in Jiangyin?" Why is it involved with Baoding? ”

"I heard that it was Shangguan Baomei, and the prefect was originally from Jiangyin."

"That's fine, this marriage is not bad."

"That's what Mother said." Wu said in his heart, he really deserved to be a mother and son, and what he said was the same, and said with a smile: "The second brother and sister also said that Brother Xiu'er will also end the college exam next year, and he will go back to Beijing to prepare for the exam first." ”

"You can discuss these with your mother and prepare for them." Xia Yan nodded.

Xia Xiu had already taken the county and government examinations before leaving Beijing, but his ranking was not good, so he did not participate in the college examination that year. After two years, I want to learn a lot of progress, but after the hospital has tried it, I have a certain reputation as a showman, and it looks better to get married. This is just the first step in the imperial examination, and there is nothing to worry about.

Wu nodded, indicating that he had written down the matter, and seeing that his face was fine, he said: "Now that the eldest girls are married, and Brother Xiu'er's pro-career is decided, shouldn't An Chong's marriage also be mentioned?" ”

Xia Anchong is only one year younger than Xia Xiu, and he is already sixteen years old.

Xia Yan was slightly stunned, he really forgot about his concubine.

It is also Xia Anchong who has no sense of zài, and his talent for reading is mediocre, so he naturally does not value him more than his two elder brothers.

But after all, it's his own son, and Xia Yan doesn't love him, but he just can't take care of him.

He glanced at Wu.

His old wife, when he was young, fought with him for Aunt Qing, and he also didn't want to see her because of that.

But after many years, those past events have long faded.

The person who used to put it on the tip of his heart couldn't remember her voice and smile. (To be continued.) )
