Chapter 406: Friends
Since learning that Yan Jinxuan was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Workers, many people have rushed to tell each other, and their joy is beyond words.
As soon as Yan Jinxuan took office, he focused on collecting problems in engineering, water conservancy, tuntian, and transportation in various places, especially those old problems that were difficult to deal with.
He graded them according to the severity of the plot, first rushing and then slowing, and following up one by one.
In less than a month, under his deployment, more than 30 important cultural monuments in the Ming Kingdom have been repaired, roads in five remote provinces and cities have entered a state of construction, and the dredging of eight flood-prone rivers is also in full swing.
Yan Jinxuan set up a special water control team, and personally explained to them the knowledge of river dredging, geographical structure and emergency disaster relief, trying to train them to be like him or even better than him in water control experts.
Because he had accumulated a good reputation among the people before, and the series of things he did after taking office were real and beneficial to the people, the people loved him very much.
Therefore, less than a month after taking office, as many as 50 letters of praise and thanks have been sent from various places.
The emperor was very happy to see this situation, and personally said in the court: "A person like Yan Aiqing is a really good official, and everyone has to study hard." ”
And announced on the spot that the reward was 10,000 taels of silver and 100 pieces of cloth.
Yan Jinxuan hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
Yan Shichong looked at it, and his heart was blocked.
Yan Shichong was scolded by the emperor because of the matter of the second prince, and since then he has not dared to speak in the court.
Many ministers thought that the emperor would dismiss or demote Yan Shichong's officials because of this. I didn't expect the emperor to have it, and everyone didn't understand what the emperor was so tolerant of him.
Later, many people said that it was probably because the emperor was afraid of Yan Shichong's power, but some people immediately objected to this, because the emperor, as the king of a country, has the right to decide the life and death of anyone, how can he be restrained by the power of a minister?
No one knew what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, but everyone thought that he was too tolerant of Yan Shichong, so many ministers were a little dissatisfied in private.
Yan Jinxuan just caught a glimpse of Yan Shichong's gaze that was colder than a knife when he was flattening, so he smiled faintly at him and stood back in his position very calmly.
Wait and see. Yan Shichong said viciously in his heart.
………………
This afternoon. Shangguan Shishi came to Changxingmen as a guest.
When Su Shanyun learned about it, she hurriedly put down the paintbrush in her hand and went to the living room.
I haven't seen her for a few months, and Shangguan Shishi's complexion is much better than before.
"Why didn't you say it before?" Su Shanyun pretended to be angry.
If Shangguan Shishi had said it in advance, she could have asked someone to bring some fresh fruits from the small farm.
"I didn't plan to come here today, because I walked here when I went out to the park with Lord Lu just now, and I thought that it would be better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Plus I haven't seen you for a few days. So here it is. Shangguan Shishi said.
Let's ask someone to present the gift she just bought.
It is a cake of two large bags. There may be twenty pounds in total.
"I heard that you like to eat corn cakes and peanut cakes, so I bought some from the dim sum shop on Liuli Street, and the taste is probably not as good as what you make yourself." Shangguan Shishi said with a smile.
"Where, where. The dim sum shop on Liuli Street is famous in Beijing, and my craftsmanship is far inferior to theirs. Su Shanyun said with a smile.
He asked again: "Since you came with Lord Lu, why didn't you see him come in?" ”
He happened to meet a colleague at the corner of the street, and the two went to the teahouse on the street to chat. He'll be over in a moment, though. ”
"Okay." Su Shanyun smiled and nodded, while motioning for the maids to go and get plates to decorate the snacks.
When the maid put a plate of the snacks bought by Shangguan Shishi and put them on the table, Su Shanyun beckoned Shangguan Shishi to eat.
Shangguan Shishi was not polite, picked up a piece of corn cake and tasted it carefully with tea.
"Well, there is the fragrance of millet and flour, and the bite is a little tough, not bad!" Shangguan Shishi gave a thumbs up again and again.
Su Shanyun also picked up a piece and tasted it.
It tastes really good, but for some reason, her appetite hasn't been very good lately, so she took several bites of such a small piece before finishing it.
"The peanut cake is also delicious." Shangguan Shishi said while eating peanut cake.
Su Shanyun smiled and waved her hand and said, "I'll eat again later." ”
She felt her stomach swell, and she had no appetite at all.
Shangguan Shishi smiled and nodded.
Su Shanyun asked her, "When did you and Lord Lu determine their relationship?" ”
"Two months ago. Last time, he started writing to me shortly after you came back from here, offering to tell me that he liked me very much, and asking me if I would like to give him a chance. You know that's what I want, too, so I wrote back to him. In this way, it will be cooked back and forth. Later, he personally came to my house to propose marriage to my father, and my father saw that he was talented and good-looking, and treated me well, so he agreed. We are in a relationship that was determined in early May. Shangguan Shishi said with a happy face.
"That's great! You were worried that you would be lonely for the rest of your life, don't you think you have found it now? Su Shanyun was also sincerely happy for her.
"I really want to thank you!" Shangguan Shishi said busily.
"I didn't help you anything, mainly because you had a relationship with Lord Lu." Su Shanyun said.
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had a chance to meet, so I'm going to give you a gift." Shangguan Shishi said mysteriously, reaching out and taking out a small box with a unique shape from his pocket.
Inside are a pair of butterfly hairpins with gold filament and red sapphires and a white jade statue of Guanyin.
"The last time we met Master Clear Sky in Chengyun Pond, I saw you look at the Guanyin statue in the temple for a long time, and thought that you might like Guanyin very much, so I asked someone to carve one. I bought the hairpin in the Baohua Building, and I think you should be suitable for this style. Shangguan Shishi said.
"I love it all, thank you!" Su Shanyun accepted it with a smile.
The two of them were talking here, and Lu Jianhua walked in.
Su Shanyun and Shangguan Shishi hurriedly got up to greet each other.
Su Shanyun found that Shangguan Shishi's face turned red the moment she saw Lu Jianhua, and she knew that they were really emotional.
That's it! Su Shanyun said in his heart.
Seeing Shangguan Shishi and Lu Jianhua sitting together a little bit like husband and wife, I was even happier in my heart.
Lu Jianhua said some words of thanks to Su Shanyun again, and Su Shanyun smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter, you don't have to be polite." ”
He hurriedly asked the maid to come over and pour tea for Lu Jianhua.
"Are you resting today?" Su Shanyun asked.
"Uh-huh." Lu Jianhua nodded, but his eyes involuntarily looked towards Shangguan Shishi.
Seeing the two of them flirting with each other, Su Shanyun's heart was also very happy.
She especially likes to watch other people's scenes of affection and love.
Su Shanyun smiled and picked up a piece of peanut cake to eat.
Who knew that he wanted to vomit as soon as he swallowed it, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll come when I go to the official room." ”
"Okay, let's go, let's go." Shangguan Shishi said busily.
Su Shanyun walked out as if she had fled. (To be continued.) )
