Gu Xinian's observation of words and expressions was first-class, and he naturally saw that Ye Chengli's mind had moved, and analyzed for Ye Chengli with a smile: "Although the Ministry of Industry has enough oil and water, it can have the lowest status among the six departments. The military department is a faction of military generals, and it is useless to go as an uncle and a jinshi. The Criminal Department is bitter and tiring, and it is an errand that is easy to offend people, so it can be ignored for the time being. The rest is the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Households. The nephew is the head of the household, and it is easiest to get an errand from the household. However, my uncle is definitely not here. It's better to make a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Rites. ”

In fact, Tobe is the best choice. However, it is not a pleasant thing for a father-in-law to do things under his son-in-law, and it is easy to cause gossip.

Ye Chengli was also well aware of this truth, and nodded reservedly: "What the virtuous nephew said is reasonable. It's better to go to the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Rites. ”

According to his wishes, he is naturally more willing to go to the ministry. The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and is in charge of the assessment and promotion of hundreds of officials below the third grade, and it is also the object of the hundred officials' currying favor. Serving in the Ministry of Officials is definitely a good thing that has both face and lining. But because of this, the Ministry of Officials is also the hottest place, and it is not said that you can enter.

In contrast, the Ministry of Rites is more relaxed. The errand is idle, come to think of it, the position that Gu Xinian plans to find for him is an errand in the Ministry of Rites......

Thinking so, Ye Chengli immediately smiled and said, "If the virtuous nephew has an acquaintance in the Ministry of Rites, please say hello for me." ”

Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly smiled: "This is a bit difficult to do." ”

Ye Chengli's heart sank: "If it's troublesome, then forget it......"

"Uncle misunderstood," Gu Xinian smiled idly: "Li Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials has returned to his hometown. There was a vacancy just in time. The nephew thought that his uncle would deliberately seek this vacancy, so he had already greeted Xie Shangshu in advance and quietly stayed. ”

Officials Langzhong? This is a dignified five-grade official position! He turned out to be just a sixth-rank official. If you become a minister, you will be promoted to a solid level! Generally speaking. Transferred from a local official to a Beijing official, it would be good to be able to maintain the original rank, but it is simply impossible to be promoted!

Ye Chengli was completely struck by this sudden happiness, and was speechless for a long time.

Gu Xinian was not in a hurry, and sat on the side with a smile and said nothing. Such a big gift, don't worry about Ye Chengli's heart......

After waiting for a while, Ye Chengli really reacted, and looked at Gu Xinian's gaze, which was even closer than looking at his own son: "Then there is Lao Xian's nephew." How much does it cost? Just sue me. ”

Gu Xinian immediately smiled: "Uncle is simply slapping me in the face when he says such things." These expenses are not worth mentioning. As long as the uncle is satisfied, he is more happy than anything else. ”

Ye Chengli's heart is so appropriate, it can't be described in words.

After this incident, Ye Chengli was satisfied with this future virtuous son-in-law, and could not be more satisfied. Naturally, this kind of thing is inconvenient to say to my father and two brothers. After I went back, I kept the good news in my heart for several days.

When Ye Chengli saw Ye Qinglan again, he felt more and more that he had given birth to a good daughter, and he was gentle when he talked to Ye Qinglan. It's not just Xue. Even Ye Qingfu looked at it with a sour stomach.

Ye Qinglan also secretly felt strange. Ye Chengli treats her fairly gently on weekdays, but it would be an exaggeration to say that she is a loving father. How could she suddenly be so kind to her these days?

Of course, Ye Qinglan couldn't have imagined that Gu Xinian had secretly gone out......

At the family banquet five days later, Chang Yuanbo inadvertently mentioned the matter of Li Langzhong's return to his hometown. Ye Chengli hinted vaguely: "I also heard about it." ”

Ye Sheng was a little surprised. This matter has not spread yet, and even the two brothers Ye Chengren and Ye Chengyi don't know, where did Ye Chengli know?

Ye Chengren and Ye Chengyi's eyes also looked at each other.

In such a gaze. Ye Chengli tasted the feeling of superiority and self-confidence that he had never felt before, and he was really refreshed. Pretended to smile casually: "When I went to the Ministry of Officials to report on my work a few days ago, I met Gu Shilang. I've heard him mention it. ”

……

Everyone here has been in the officialdom for many years, so how can they not hear the meaning of the words? The expressions were a little subtle, especially the two Ye Chengren brothers, and their eyes obviously revealed something else.

Ye Sheng thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Did he say anything else?" ”

Speaking of this, Ye Chengli had nothing to hide, and repeated what Gu Xinian said that day, and added a few more sentences at the end: "...... He also only said that he would do something for me, and the specific news would have to wait until the next year. ”

There was silence again.

This time, even Ye Sheng's gaze when he looked at Ye Chengli was a little different. The official department is a serious five-grade official position, and such a hot position is not something that ordinary people can get their hands on if they go to the point. To put it bluntly, even if he goes out in person, he doesn't have this weight. And Gu Xinian made such a promise lightly!

Sure enough, he is a big celebrity in the minds of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen's mother, and his shot is extraordinary!

Ye Chengren and Ye Chengyi thought in unison. The two of them are now in the official position of the fourth rank and the other is the fifth grade, but they will not be jealous of Ye Chengli. But the original condescending sense of superiority has also been put away a lot at this time.

has such a son-in-law with a superb identity and a proud background, and Ye Chengli's status has also risen invisibly.

Ye Sheng said jokingly: "Since that's the case, then I don't have to worry about your affairs." "Even if you do it again, you will never be able to get a better official position than this.

Ye Chengli smiled, didn't know what to say for a while, and vaguely pulled the topic away. The sullenness that had been held in my heart for many years was relieved for a long time.

At this moment, a maid with delicate eyebrows hurriedly walked in, blessed everyone, and then reported with a happy face: "Third master, the red silk girl has begun to have a stomachache." ”

Ye Chengli perked up: "Has the child been born?" ”

The maid smiled and said, "I just started to have labor pains, and I heard the midwives say that if it is fast, I can give birth to a child tonight." If it's slow, maybe you won't be able to give birth until tomorrow! However, the young lady said that such good news should be reported to the master first, so the slave maid dared to come to report it. ”

Only then did Ye Chengli recognize that this face was the maid Ruixue beside Ye Qinglan, and his expression was much gentler: "Sister Lan is very thoughtful, and you are also smart." When Hongxuan gave birth to a child safely, your reward is indispensable. ”

Ruixue smiled and thanked him.

With this episode, Ye Chengli didn't have the heart to drink more, so he ate a few bites hastily, and then returned to Hefeng Courtyard first.

At this time, in the Hefeng Courtyard, the Xue family was sitting in the main hall drinking tea slowly, and the two sisters Ye Qingfu and Ye Qinglan were also alongside.

Listening to the faint sound of pain, Ye Qingfu couldn't sit still a little and muttered: "Does it hurt so much to give birth?" ”

Xue snorted lightly and glanced at her: "Of course it hurts, it hurts, it hurts to die and live, and it took a lot of hard work to exhaust all the strength to give birth to a child." Therefore, children should be filial and listen to their mother's words, otherwise, it will really be born in vain. There was still anger in his words, and he was obviously still haunted by the complaint he had filed a few days earlier.

Ye Qingfu was immediately silenced.

Xue glanced at Ye Qinglan again, who looked calm, and his heart became more and more unhappy, and he deliberately sighed and said: "Speaking of giving birth, I think of Sister Lan's biological mother Birong. She was thin on weekdays, and when she gave birth to a child, she had a difficult birth, and the child died in her mother's womb, and later she died with two corpses. It's embarrassing to think about! ”

Is this embarrassing? It's simply a cat crying mouse fake mercy! Bi Rong's death back then, ten times it was all the Xue family's secret black hand. It's disgusting to pretend to be like that now!

Ye Qinglan also sighed, made a sad expression and responded: "This is also my aunt's blessing." However, Hongxuan's body is healthy and strong, and she is young, so she will be able to give birth to a child peacefully. Mother don't worry. ”

Xue snorted casually, but a sneering sneer flashed in his eyes. Gave birth to a child peacefully? Hmph, don't even think about it......

At this moment, Ye Chengli stepped in.

Xue Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Didn't the master drink with his father-in-law and two brothers in Changhetang?" Why did you come back so early? ”

Ye Chengli said with a smile: "I heard the maid say that Hongxuan is about to give birth, so I came back early." ”

Xue's smile did not decrease, but his eyes were cold. She didn't let the maid around her report the good news at all, who sent the maid to deliver the letter?

Before she could finish thinking about it, she heard Ye Chengli praise gently and lovingly: "Sister Lan is really thoughtful and thoughtful. ”

Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled: "My daughter also hopes that Hongxuan can give birth to the child in her belly safely, preferably a big fat boy." The daughter has an extra brother. ”

These words were very much in line with Ye Chengli's heart, and Ye Chengli immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Xue gritted his teeth angrily. It's this girl again, and she has to fight against her everywhere......

Even more infuriating is yet to come. I saw Ye Qinglan smile and said, "Wait here, I don't know what is going on in the delivery room, why don't I accompany my father over and have a look." ”

"No way!" Xue objected without thinking. If Ye Chengli goes, what if those midwives don't dare to start? Of course, this reason must not be spoken, so it is better to find a more reasonable excuse: "It is unlucky to see blood in the delivery room, and men are not allowed to enter the delivery room." ”

Ye Qinglan said well-behaved: "What my mother said is that my father should not enter the delivery room. Before the Xue family could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Ye Qinglan raise a well-behaved and cute smile and said, "However, my daughter knows that my father must be also worried about Hongxuan." It's better to be like this, the father is waiting outside the delivery room, and the daughter enters the delivery room for the father to accompany Hongxuan. (To be continued......)
