Chapter 160
Since Min Wei talked to Jiang Qinhan in the study that day, Jiang Qinhan stopped unexpectedly except for immediately finding Mo Shi and losing his temper, of course Min Wei didn't think that he did it because of a sudden discovery of conscience, probably the real reason was because he was busy with other things recently, so he didn't have time to discuss with Mo Shi about whether Min Wei was a vulgar and uneducated girl, of course, even if Jiang Qinhan looked for Mo Shi, it seemed that he couldn't say Mo Shi at all.
Speaking of Jiang Qinhan's recent busy affairs, he really has so much to do with Min Wei, on the third day when Jiang Qinhan talked to Min Wei in the study that day, Jiang Qinhan's house unexpectedly came to a holy decree, Jiang Qinmian was suddenly promoted to a second-grade waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and there is also a royal house, although it is only a three-entry courtyard, but after all, it is a royal gift, and the three-entry courtyard, Jiang Qinmian lives alone, and it is not very close to Jiang Qinhan's house and the Zhongxin Marquis's mansion, and it is said that there are some second- and third-grade officials in the imperial court.
It was the first time for Min Wei to see the real holy decree, although it was not for Jiang Qinhan, but because Jiang Qinmian lived here with Jiang Qinhan temporarily, when she received the decree, as big as the seventh old lady and as small as Jiang Minyan had to bathe and change clothes, put on the incense table, and then knelt in front of the holy decree collectively, waiting for the eunuch holding the holy decree to finish reciting the holy decree, and finally had to kowtow and thank the emperor.
Don't think that this kind of thing, one time is enough, after all, Min Wei just wants to see such a scene, if she comes so many times, she will definitely not be able to stand it, in ancient times, she had to wear formal clothes on such occasions, and formal clothes have always been very cumbersome and cumbersome, and you have to bathe, and you have to let people put incense on the table, kneel and salute, Min Wei swears, since she came to this world, except for worshipping the ancestors of the Jiang family and some unavoidable scenes, she has never knelt so seriously and carefully.
And the most uncomfortable thing is that the kneeling time is very long, because the eunuch who reads the holy decree is very slow to read every word. As if she was afraid that people would not understand, Min Wei prayed countless times in her heart, hoping that he could read a little faster, but unfortunately God did not hear Min Wei's prayer. The eunuch's voice was still slow, and Min Wei even suspected that the eunuch had done it on purpose.
After Jiang Qinmian received the holy decree, he asked his subordinates to pack up and move to the house of the imperial gift, although Jiang Qinhan endured all kinds of envy in his heart and wanted to stay with Jiang Qinmian for two more days, but Jiang Qinmian refused with a light smile, and before leaving. deliberately went to the courtyard of the seventh old lady, but I don't know what to say, the seventh old lady didn't help Jiang Qinhan speak, but let Jiang Qinmian leave happily.
And after Jiang Qinmian left, Jiang Qinhan left everything else behind, and wanted to know why Jiang Qinmian suddenly got the Ministry of Rites, but after Jiang Qinhan inquired, he still had no way to know the reason, Jiang Qinhan had to think that this was the credit of the Zhongxin Hou and Zhao Jiang's family, after all, Jiang Qinhan would suddenly be transferred to the capital at that time and became the Ministry of Labor's Langzhong because of Zhao Jiang's family.
Also surprised by Jiang Qinmi's fact that he became a chamberlain of the Ministry of Rites were the Loyal Marquis and Zhao Jiang in the Loyal Marquis Mansion, and even Zhao Wenbo. At that time, after Jiang Qinmian arrived in the capital, he told the Marquis of Zhongxin the reason why he wanted to ask for an errand, although he did not mention King Ning, he just said that he figured it out because of the words of the fifth old lady and the Zhao Jiang clan, but after all, there was such a thing back then, so he didn't want to be too conspicuous, and this reason was enough to make the Marquis of Zhongxin and Zhao Jiang give up their original ideas.
As for Zhao Wenbo, although he wanted to intercede with the emperor, but was stopped by the Marquis of Zhongxin, although he didn't say the reason, but with the obstruction of his grandfather and mother, Zhao Wenbo immediately understood that there must be some of them that he didn't know. And they all knew what was going on, so Zhao Wenbo didn't look for the emperor, and after the holy decree was issued, Zhao Wenbo was called by his grandfather and mother to ask about it. It's just that in the face of their questions, Zhao Wenbo was also confused.
It is precisely because everyone is confused that there is this scene, Zhou Jinyu, Zhou Moyan and Zhao Wenbo are sitting in the room in the Baihua Building that is said to belong to a certain merry prince all the year round, Zhao Wenbo has a lot of doubts on his face, and Zhou Moyan is indifferent to eat the side dishes on the table. Zhou Jinyu looked at Zhao Wenbo with a faint smile, he had already guessed what Zhao Wenbo asked him, and he really wanted to know everything, but unfortunately he didn't know the inside story.
"Okay, since Jinyu said that he didn't know the inside story, Wenbo, you should also treat it as a pie in the sky for your uncle to pick up a bargain, I haven't seen anyone who thinks the official is too hot." Zhou Moyan saw that both of them didn't speak with a thoughtful expression, so he couldn't help but speak, and after speaking, he ignored the expressions of the two and poured some wine into the wine glass in front of him.
Indeed, Zhao Wenbo didn't understand the deep meaning of this sudden holy decree, so he asked carefully when he saw Zhou Jinyu, but Zhou Jinyu didn't understand the reason, although this holy decree was given by him, but it was the meaning of the Queen Mother, Zhou Jinyu didn't even understand how the Queen Mother knew Jiang Qinmian, and how did she know that he came to the capital, and even directly named him to be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.
If it weren't for the fact that only the Ministry of Rites was left empty, I am afraid that the Holy Decree would not be just a second-grade Ministry of Rites Waiter, Zhou Jinyu also asked the Queen Mother why she did this, but unfortunately this time the Queen Mother did not have the idea of solving Zhou Jinyu's doubts, and the only thing Zhou Jinyu knew was that the new Ministry of Rites Waiter Jiang Qinmian was the only son of the fifth old lady Jiang, but Zhou Jinyu did not think that the Queen Mother would let herself make such a holy decree for this reason.
Although Zhao Wenbo also had a bunch of questions in his heart, he could only bury them in his heart in the end, even Zhou Jinyu didn't know about it, he naturally couldn't inquire casually, he could only go back like this to explain to his grandfather and mother, maybe his uncle was also full of doubts, Zhao Wenbo thought of this, so he didn't think about it anymore, nodded along with Zhou Moyan's words and said, "I will persuade my uncle when I go back." After speaking, he took the opportunity to turn the topic to what happened in the capital recently.
To Zhao Wenbo's surprise, although Jiang Qinmian also had doubts, but then he understood that this matter should have been done by King Ning, and he seemed to have known that he would enter Beijing, and he seemed to have guessed that he would find an idle errand to make up the numbers, so when he didn't have time to do anything, he quickly settled the matter, and it was a holy decree, not an official document of the ministry, so he didn't even have room for maneuver.
Although Jiang Qinmian had thought about countless possibilities in his heart since Min Wei brought the words, he didn't expect King Ning's actions to be so fast, he thought that King Ning was still resentful of him because of the events of the year. Although he was also innocent about that incident, King Ning, who was still young at the time, didn't think so, although that incident was properly handled by the queen of the year and the queen mother now. And the living who know these things have kept silent, but all who know about it have not happened.
It was precisely because Jiang Qinmian had already understood some of the reasons for this, so he calmly accepted this holy decree, whether it was from the current Queen Mother's intention or King Ning's intention. Jiang Qinmian just wrote a short letter to the fifth old lady, in which he told him about receiving the holy decree and becoming a waiter from the second grade rite department, and after asking a few more about Jiang Minzhe's current situation, he asked people to send the letter back to the Jiang family.
Jiang Qindily received the holy decree for only two days, and then went to the Ministry of Rites with a modest smile on his face to show his face, and then carefully went to the Ministry of Rites every day to stay all day after the court, and went home directly after leaving the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites at night, neither getting too close to people, nor deliberately alienating from people. In addition, he didn't bring any family members, which made it even more difficult for people to win over or please.
Jiang Qinmian's life experience was also investigated by those low-ranking officials in the court, but even so, everyone couldn't find any way to win over the newly appointed Ministry of Rites Waiter, Jiang Qinmian has now become a hot topic in the capital, a person who has never heard of the name suddenly became a second-grade Ministry of Rites waiter, everyone is talking about what kind of good luck he has gone, and in the end it can only be attributed to his good background.
And because of this, Minwei was once again noticed, but it wasn't because of what she did. It's that she is the Jiang family of Huangzhou, because of Jiang Qinyuan, because of Jiang Qindi, Minwei never felt that such attention was a good thing. After all, the more famous he is, the more people will find trouble, such as Jiang Qinmian's banquet held at the request of everyone, because Xiaolan's family did not enter Beijing, so although the banquet was in the newly given mansion to Jiang Qinmian, it was Zhao Jiang's and Mo's, Jiang Minshu and Minwei to help receive female guests.
At this moment, Minwei is personally practicing the famous saying that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, because it is very unfortunate. She was asked to play a game together, but Jiang Minshu didn't know who pulled her away, probably because most of the ladies nowadays stay in the boudoir and are too boring, so they will play the piano and play chess or something if they have nothing to do, but Minwei just wants to say that she doesn't seem to be bored, because from time to time she has to help Mo look at the account book, or think of some new tricks, so she is really not boring.
"Miss Sun, I don't know much about chess, I'm afraid I can't be your opponent Miss Sun." This Miss Sun seems to be a chess addict, she usually likes to pull people to play chess when she attends parties, Min Wei carefully dodges it every time, but this time Min Wei, as half of the master, really can't escape, so she was so unfortunate and tragically caught.
"Fourth Miss, is this looking down on my chess skills? Or is it modest? I have played against the second lady and several young ladies of the Zhao family before, and their chess skills are very exquisite, and the fourth lady is sisters with them, how can she not be very good at chess? Who knew that this Sun chess idiot not only refused to let her go after listening to Min Wei's words, but looked at Min Wei with a serious face, as if he didn't believe that Min Wei couldn't play chess at all.
After hearing this, Min Wei felt that a group of crows flew over her head, after all, these things were caused by Jiang Minshu and the Zhao sisters, Min Wei dared to be sure that if Jiang Minshu stood in front of her at this moment, she would not help but say countless complaints, why? She obviously just wants to watch the play in a low-key manner and live a peaceful life, but there are always so many people around her who make her unable to complain, so why do you drag her to the stage to sing?
"Miss Sun, my chess skills are really the worst among my sisters, I'm really afraid that your interest will be ruined, it's better to "Rather than complaining about Jiang Minshu, Minwei wants to get rid of the current state, but unfortunately the people Minwei knew in the capital before are either a little away at this time, or they are talking to people.
Just when Min Wei was a little embarrassed, a voice saved her: "Sister Sun, it turns out that you are here." Min Wei breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at the person who made the sound, the voice had not been heard much, Min Wei thought that it should not be someone she was familiar with before, and sure enough, what appeared in Min Wei's sight was a girl who looked about the same age as Min Wei, with a round face and almond eyes, slightly white skin, and a ruddy face, looking at Miss Sun with a smile, Min Wei remembered that this young lady seemed to be surnamed Wan and came with Miss Sun, so it seemed that they had a good relationship.
"Sister Sun, I met Sister Yan'er just now, she can play chess, why don't you play a game with her." After Miss Wan came over, she and Minwei greeted each other before she said to Miss Sun, at this time Minwei found that Jiang Minyan, who was following her with a faint smile, seemed to feel the eyes of several people looking at her, Jiang Minyan bowed to Miss Sun very generously and then showed a kind smile.
"Who is this?" Although Miss Sun was happy for a moment, she didn't agree immediately, but looked at Jiang Minyan with some doubts, Jiang Minyan This is the first time she has appeared in front of these ladies in the capital, so everyone is not familiar with her, but even if she is not familiar, because Jiang Minyan always has a kind smile and speaks very appropriately, everyone does not reject her, and Jiang Minyan is indeed more sensible than her sibling sister Jiang Minting, and even Zhao Jiang's and others' attitude towards her is completely different from that towards Jiang Minting.
"This is my sixth sister, Jiang Minyan, who has been studying in the clan before." Min Wei secretly thought in her heart that the Dead Daoist Friend was immortal and poor, but she introduced to Miss Sun with a smile on her face, and in the face of Miss Sun's slightly scrupulous gaze, Jiang Minyan just had a faint smile and no trace of discoloration.
"Does Miss Six know how to play chess?" Miss Sun looked at it a few times before she asked directly, Min Wei sometimes felt that Miss Sun was actually quite good in other places except for being a chess idiot, although sometimes she spoke a little more directly, but she didn't seem to offend anyone in this capital.
