(405) pleaded with the left to abandon the promotion
Gu Mengde's promise seemed to give Zhao Shicheng a reassurance.
Zhao Shicheng's face was slightly embarrassed, and he finally opened his mouth: "Don't hide it from the master, what I asked for this time...... You can't believe it, but Zhao assures you that what he said is true! ”
This foreshadowing was laid, and everyone was curious.
"Brother Zhao, but it's okay to say."
In this way, Zhao Shicheng no longer hesitated, and said: "Master Gu, you also know that next year will be the end of the three-year period, and I should be transferred out of Tonglu and become an official ...... another place."
I once heard Gu Beichen talk about Zhao Shicheng's transfer, when Zhao Zekai and Liu Shenxiang had that incident, Zhao Zekai wanted to throw off his sleeves and leave, but Gu Beichen "reminded" him with this matter, and Zhao Zekai dispelled the idea of leaving.
This time, Zhao Shicheng mentioned this matter again, could it be that he wanted Gu Mengde to help?
It was beyond Lin Mengyao's expectations, or Zhao Shicheng's next words were unexpected by everyone. I saw Zhao Shicheng turning his wine glass, as if he had made a lot of effort, and then said: "Master Gu, I only have a lot of connections in Jinghua, so ...... So I want you to help me and see if I can be transferred to Qiyang. ”
Qi Yang?
It wasn't a rich place, and strictly speaking, the people who had been there over the years had moved to the left. People go to high places, and water flows to low places, isn't this Zhao Shicheng full of heart to take advantage of the expiration of the three-year period to go to Jinghua, how can he go to Qiyangdi?
It was not only Lin Mengyao who had such doubts, but also the father and son of the Gu family who knew about Qiyang's situation.
"Brother Zhao, aren't you kidding!" Gu Mengde couldn't believe it and asked, "Your performance in Tonglu for three years is quite positive. And the reputation is very good, it is really a good time for promotion, how to take the initiative to move left? ”
As an official, there is a person who is as clear as the sky, not afraid of personal gains and losses, but willing to benefit the people. However, is Zhao Shicheng such a person? Lin Mengyao's memory became clearer, before Zhao Qian'er entered the Meng family, she had heard Yao Ziwen mention the name of "Zhao Shicheng", and she seemed to appreciate him very much at that time. And I feel sorry for his move to the left. And then later. It seems that the Yao family has lost power, and Zhao Shicheng has suddenly risen to prominence. It is not so easy for this sudden rise and success, it is all because of Meng Nanjun's love for Zhao Qian'er. It's just that......
Lin Mengyao always felt that she had missed something. Think about it. finally found the incomprehensible point - Meng Nanjun is at best the son of a hidden princess who cannot be made public. No matter how great his ability is, he will not be able to influence the officialdom and promote Zhao Shicheng to a second-class official!
Is there something hidden in this?
Lin Mengyao felt that there were too many mysteries to solve. After all, this life is far away in Tonglu, thousands of miles away from Jinghua, and it is always difficult to solve.
Lin Mengyao was silent, and suddenly raised her head, but saw Zhao Qian'er looking at her and smiling, she was stunned for a while, Lin Mengyao finally concealed the disgust in her heart, and raised her glass to return the salute. Zhao Shicheng has already talked about the reason for this matter.
"Don't hide it, Qiyang is Zhao's hometown!" Zhao Shicheng sighed and said: "I know that I am in charge of the laws and regulations of the dynasty and avoid suspicion for officials, but now that my mother is old, if I can't fulfill my filial piety, I am really ashamed!" ”
"Master Gu, don't you know that my husband lost his father at an early age, and his mother-in-law pulled him first. We also thought about taking her to our side to enjoy Qingfu, but Qiyang and Tonglu are far apart, and the mother-in-law is old, and her body is really unbearable, so our husband and wife have felt very guilty over the years. Mrs. Zhao added, with tears in her eyes: "There is an opportunity to be transferred right now, so my lord has the intention of filial piety......"
Next, it was naturally Mrs. Zhao who carefully told the Liu family's mother-in-law how to take a handful of and urine, and how hard to raise Zhao Shicheng, the son of the Liu family, to adulthood, which made Liu feel sad and wiped a handful of tears.
Mrs. Zhao gave a clear explanation of the reason, and everyone was emotional.
"Although this matter is not in harmony with the law, the law is nothing more than human feelings, and I think I can help a little. But, Brother Zhao, whether the thing is successful or not, I can't pack a ticket. ”
With Gu Mengde's words, Zhao Shicheng was already crying with gratitude: "Then I will bother Master Gu." ”
"If you say this, Brother Zhao will see the outside, you and I will become relatives, so we should help out!" Gu Mengde said with relief, and then frowned and added: "It's just that you have to write a statement of affection to me before the fifth day of the new year, and when I return to Jinghua, I can ask someone to make an excerpt and present it to it." ”
"It's nature, it's nature!" Zhao Shicheng was grateful, and Mrs. Zhao was also happy, but she glanced at Zhao Qian'er and glanced at Zhao Shicheng again.
Mrs. Zhao's actions were so obvious that everyone could see it. Gu Mengde smiled loudly and said, "Brother Zhao, it's better to finish everything at once, I, Gu someone, like your refreshment very much!" ”
"Master Gu has fiery eyes, and he can't hide anything from your eyes."
Zhao Shicheng smiled awkwardly, beckoned to Zhao Qian'er, and motioned for her to kneel. Zhao Qian'er was also obedient, and immediately knelt down and bowed down to Gu Mengde and Liu. Xu was because of the matter of the tassels, the Liu family treated Zhao Qian'er differently, and when he saw Zhao Qian'er like this, he felt distressed at the moment.
"What is Master Zhao doing? If a good girl is cold and hurts her body, it's terrible. As he spoke, Liu hurriedly asked Hongxuan to help Zhao Qian'er sit down, and then continued: "Master Zhao has something to say, we can help, and we will not shirk it." ”
When Zhao Shicheng heard this, he finally said: "Actually, it is really inappropriate to say this to Master Gu and Mrs. Gu, but at the moment, there are many things in the Zhao Mansion. I just said about moving to the left, if it is approved by the above, I will also go to Qiyang in March, but the little girl has just entered the show girl book, and she also went to Beijing in March, this south and north are contradictory to the two lines, separated by 108,000 miles. Hey, I'm worried that the little girl's journey will not be smooth, and I want to entrust Master Gu to take care of the little girl when he goes to Beijing. ”
This matter is actually not a matter, but Lin Mengyao was vigilant in her heart: in her previous life, Zhao Qian'er had an accident on the way to Beijing, and then she entered the Meng Mansion. not only lost the show girl, but also because the lost show girl entered the Meng family as a concubine.
This is a crime of deception, a capital crime!
Lin Mengyao was very anxious, but at this banquet, there was no room for her to interject, and she couldn't tell Gu Beichen about it, otherwise Gu Beichen asked the reason, she really couldn't explain, she couldn't say the reason in her previous life, she knew something!
Lin Mengyao was a little uneasy, and Gu Mengde, who was sitting at the top, pondered for a moment, thinking longer than Zhao Shicheng's proposal to move back to his hometown Qiyang just now. After a long time, Gu Mengde said: "The day when Gu someone will go to Jinghua is always uncertain, so I want to ......" (to be continued......)
