CHAPTER XXIV
Yin Qinghua and Lu Yizhong didn't talk for a while, and then followed him to the south of the city to see the house.
Although Lu Yizhong knew many people in the capital, this house was really not something he inquired about, but the news he got from the Geng family.
In the morning, Yin Qinghua asked him to help inquire, and he went back to mention it to Geng, and Geng immediately found this house for him.
The Geng family is sincerely trying to help the Yin family with this, because she is looking forward to them moving out sooner.
She and the Yin family did not have any conflict of interest, but she couldn't say why, she just didn't like the family living in Lu Mansion.
Especially Geng's usually likes to dress up, so that he can compete with others, and now there is Yin Pingru in the house, who has a dazzling complexion, so that she has no interest in dressing up......
Lu Yizhong felt that this time the Geng family finally didn't help and found a good house.
Yin Qinghua followed Lu Yizhong to Muxi Hutong, and the two took a rough turn in the house.
This is a three-entry house, the layout and size are somewhat similar to the old house in Jinan, the yard and the house have only been renovated not long ago, if you buy it, you can move over without too much repair. Moreover, the location of this Muxi Hutong is not as remote as Lu Yizhong said, Yin Qinghua was very satisfied after seeing it.
"I think this house is quite suitable, and I want you to help me ask people for the price!" Sitting in the carriage back to Lu Mansion, Yin Qinghua said to Lu Yizhong.
"Well, their family is in a hurry to make a move, so it should be easier to talk." Lu Yizhong agreed happily.
Yin Qinghua thanked Lu Yizhong, and there was a moment of silence in the carriage.
Lu Yizhong suddenly remembered something at this time, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Brother Yin, I heard something today, don't think I'm troublesome when I say it......" Lu Yizhong still opened his mouth.
"What's the matter?" Yin Qinghua looked at him a little funny.
"The Qiu family took the road of Anle Hou and donated an official to He Kai, which is said to be the head of the Ministry of Rites, and he will take office in the capital in the near future."
Lu Yizhong finished speaking in one breath, carefully observing Yin Qinghua's reaction.
Yin Qinghua was indeed a little surprised, but he was not too surprised.
"Oh." Yin Qinghua replied expressionlessly.
"The He family is too anxious, it's only been a few days since they got married, and they can't wait to take advantage of the Qiu family." Lu Yizhong said with disdain, "I don't have to talk too much, I just want you to know in advance, have a psychological preparation, and save time if you encounter embarrassing ......."
Yin Qinghua nodded slowly: "Well, in the future, everyone will be officials of the imperial court, and it is inevitable that they will meet, and then the official business will be done, and there will be no embarrassment or embarrassment......"
"You and Sister Yin are naturally fine, and you have already broken off with the Nahe family. But isn't there still a clear appearance, after all, it is connected by blood, and the child is still young and ignorant, so don't be affected by anything. ”
After Lu Yizhong finished speaking, he stopped speaking.
Yin Qinghua followed his words and fell into deep thought.
The carriage was quiet again.
Back in Lufu, Yin Qinghua first told Gu about the situation in Muxi Hutong, and Gu was very satisfied after hearing it.
Yin Qinghua hesitated for a moment, but still told the news that He Kai was about to enter Beijing to take office, and asked the Gu family to take care of Yin Pingru's mother and daughter, and try not to meet with irrelevant people.
Gu naturally knew it, and he didn't need to say much about this.
"When you went out just now, Uncle Lu sent someone to look for you." Gu reminded.
"Oh, then I'll go over and see what's going on."
After Yin Qinghua finished speaking, he went to the study in the east courtyard.
Lu Yiduo mostly stayed in the study when he was at home, and he knew this.
"I heard that Brother Lu just asked someone to find me!" As soon as Yin Qinghua entered the study, he saw Lu Yiduo sitting in the vine heart armchair next to the rosewood bookcase reading a book.
"yes." Lu Yiduo put down the book in his hand when he heard the voice, "I came back early this morning until now, we haven't said a few words, you can sit down first." ”
Lu Yiduo pointed to the two rosewood rattan heart circle chairs on the east side, and he went over to sit down first, and said, "I heard that you went out with Yizhong just now?" ”
"Yes, I asked him to help see if there was a suitable house in the capital before, and I went to see it with him just now." Yin Qinghua replied.
"Oh? Are you moving out? ”
"I knew that the house in the capital was not easy to find, so I thought I would take a look first, but I didn't expect it to be very suitable, so I planned to settle down."
"I'm in such a hurry...... Lu Yiduo paused, and then said, "It's not because I came back suddenly, which makes you feel inconvenient, right?" ”
"How could it be! But we can't live in your house for the rest of our lives. And I don't know how long I'll be in the capital this time......"
Lu Yiduo didn't stop him any longer, and followed Yin Qinghua's words and said: "You don't have to worry, you are the first batch of Jinshi after the emperor's pro-government, and the longer you wait, the more attention you will get." ”
"Well, I've figured it out now, too. Don't hide it from Brother Lu, I did think about it before, whether to find my father's former colleagues or fellow departments, and go to the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials to dredge up, but in the end I didn't go. ”
Yin Qinghua had nothing to hide from Lu Yiduo, and continued to tell the truth: "Actually, at that time, because I couldn't make up my mind at all, I didn't know where to go, so I might as well listen to God's arrangement, where to go." ”
"Your words sound reckless, but they are really safe." Lu Yiduo nodded and affirmed: "The emperor has just taken over the government, and many people and things are still unclear, if you rashly go to find someone and stand in line, you will get caught on fire." It's better to respond to all changes with the same and wait for good news! ”
"What my eldest brother said was that I was also a little worried at the time." Yin Qinghua admitted.
"It's your chief examiner this time, Lord Ji Mingji, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, you should pay more attention to it."
Lu Yiduo patiently gave Yin Qinghua guidance.
"When the emperor was young, the auxiliary king did not want the emperor to have too much influence on the emperor in the future, so he did not let the emperor have a fixed teacher. But you must know that the emperor is now in charge of politics, and among the dozens of Hanlin who gave lectures back then, only Lord Ji entered the cabinet......"
"Thank you Brother Lu for reminding me, it's just that this Lord Ji is a cabinet scholar, how can we approach ......it lightly," Lu Yiduo said with some loss.
"You don't have to deliberately approach anything, he is your chief examiner this time, even if he is your teacher, he will have his own opportunities to contact in the future, just do his best in his own part. Lord Ji was able to gain the emperor's trust under the nose of the auxiliary king, he must not be a dull person, whoever did a good job, he had his own plans in his heart. ”
Yin Qinghua listened and nodded again and again.
