On the side of Chaoyangmen, Cheng Chi was talking to Mrs. Guo: "...... Lord Song wanted me to go to the other side of the river to help Yang Shouchun, the governor of the river, manage the river. In the Ministry of Industry, the water is hung from the rank of Liupin, which is regarded as a temporary errand in the River Governor's Palace, and all should be appointed and dismissed in the Ministry of Industry. I thought about it carefully, and instead of handing over my resume to the officials in a low voice and begging them for an errand, it was better to go to the Governor's Mansion in the river at the arrangement of Lord Song. Anyway, I was also invited by them, and as soon as I took office, I was from the title of Liupin, and Zhang Hui, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, was a student of Lord Song. Lord Song arranged it like this, and it can be regarded as painstaking. ”

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Yellow River was relatively light, and the imperial court was in charge of river affairs with the governor who managed the Cao Yun. In the event of a flood, a member of the Minister of the General River was temporarily sent to deal with it, and the matter was withdrawn. Since the tenth year of Yongchang, the Yellow River flooding has become more and more severe, and in the third year of Germany, the river and the river have been separated, and the imperial court has set up a full-time governor of the river to be in charge of the Yellow River, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yongding River embankment and dredging. That Yang Shouchun was the first governor of the river.

and Song Jingran is in the same department.

Old Madam Guo couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and the teacup in her hand didn't put it to her mouth for a long time, but said: "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the yamen of the river governor's mansion is not in the capital, right?" ”

Cheng Chi smiled: "In Jining Mansion in Shandong. ”

Mrs. Guo's brows furrowed, and she said: "This kind of thing about the river, I can't see what I have done after hard work, and if nothing happens, the world will be peaceful, and if something happens, it will be a matter of losing my head...... Do you want to think again? Last time, Brother Zheng came over and said that there is a title in the criminal department, although it is only a seventh grade, but the person is noble, and it is simple to transfer to the six yamen in the future, and it does not necessarily have to be to govern the river to enter the office. After sticking this title, people see that you are the material of the Ministry of Work, and after the river is treated, you will be on it all your life, according to me, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Cheng Chi said implicitly: "I'm not here to be an official. Since Shaojin rejected the marriage of the Song family, I am a little embarrassed to meet the people of the Song family. When Lord Song saw me, I felt guilty, so I didn't want to accompany me. Old Man Song also came to look for him every now and then, either to drink or to eat...... Now Yang Shoushan is having a hard time in office, and he was recommended by Lord Song, and the two families are good for the whole family, one is prosperous, and the other is prosperous. Lord Song opened this mouth, how can I refuse? How can I help Yang Shoushan to support this situation. ”

Mrs. Guo didn't know about Zhou Shaojin's rejection of Song Mu, so she hurriedly asked what was going on.

Cheng Chi picked up that important speech.

Mrs. Guo was silent for a long time.

She thinks that she is a calm and rational person, her deceased wife is decisive and strategic, and the three sons she gave birth to don't know whose temperament she has, one is more affectionate than the other.

Needless to say, Da Lang said. Erlang's daughter-in-law has been sick for so many years, and I don't see him have a usually drink flower wine or something, Shiro is better, he wants to marry his niece and not the master, and he has not worked hard to pay off his debts for this little girl!

In this case, she simply said: "You also know that you are the one who wants to marry a daughter-in-law?" Are you willing to leave her alone in the capital? Your sister-in-law is a can't carry it, is your eldest brother also a can't carry it? When your marriage with Shaojin is mentioned, doesn't your eldest brother know the little bit of fancy intestines in your stomach? Can Shaojin have a good one then? ”

Cheng Chi laughed "flutteringly".

's mother was afraid that he would have a meritorious service in managing the river and become a technical official, and it would be difficult for him to be promoted in the future, so even Shaojin took it out to persuade him.

His old man was also sick and rushed to the doctor.

Cheng Chi blinked and said, "Don't you say you don't agree?" I happened to be sad to go to the end of the world, go out and avoid it! ”

"You bastard!" Old man Guo put down the teacup and looked for something everywhere to hit Cheng Chi, "If it weren't for you, I would still this blind." As long as I think of going to the Zhou family to propose marriage one day, my face is panicked, and I don't know if I will be kicked out of the door by the Zhou family. I've always been upright in my life, but I didn't expect that when I was getting old, I would have to be inferior in front of others because of an unangry little son......"

"Mother, how can you say that!" Cheng Chi's face was as thick as a city wall, so he pretended to be scared and hurriedly avoided the side, saying, "Isn't it the responsibility of parents to give their children a family?" ”

Old Madam Guo was angry and said, "It's good for me to look at the sixth lady of our Fang family." Since your marriage is up to me, then the sixth miss of the Fang family is fine......"

Cheng Chi laughed and deliberately flattered: "Whoever my mother asks me to marry, I will marry whomever I want!" ”

Mrs. Guo was so angry that she couldn't help but get up and punch Cheng Chi a few times, and said, "You dare to talk to me poorly!" ”

Cheng Chi coaxed his mother: "I'm like this, isn't it because you feel sorry for me?" Don't be angry. If you go to the Zhou family to propose, I have to make a fool of myself, so that the Zhou family will not refuse you! Besides, others don't know, don't you know? If you talk about river control, I am also because I am good at counting, so Mr. Xu can only understand what he said. This time, he said that he asked me to assist Yang Shoushan in managing the river, and in fact, Mr. Xu also went with him. It is his old man's lifelong wish to manage the Yellow River well, but he just borrowed my name. My strength is still counting. I hadn't been in contact with Lord Song before, and Lord Song didn't know. Later, I had a relationship with Lord Song, and I didn't hide it, otherwise Lord Song wouldn't let me hang up on the street in the Ministry of Industry, just to join the Sixth Ministry as an official in the future. ”

Speaking of which, it's still for Zhou Shaojin.

Mrs. Guo said angrily: "You've thought about it, and you're still here to ask me what to do?" ”

Cheng Chi pushed his mother to sit on the kang again, and while helping his mother pinch her shoulders flatteringly, he smiled softly: "My mother is the backbone of our family." Didn't my father consult with you in all things when he was alive? I encountered such a big thing, so naturally I have to discuss it with my mother! ”

Old Madam Guo's eyes moistened all of a sudden.

She has been shrewd and capable all her life, but when she came, she was put on the table by her husband, and gave her little son to Cheng Xu, who had worked hard to conceive a baby in October, and trained her to become the master of the hall. The requirement is that her son is smart and obedient, and he has already become a martial wife, where is there today, the mother and son can discuss the matter of entering the office at this time.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Guo's heart softened again.

Go to the river, go to the river!

People have a clear conscience.

Since they are the ones who are sorry for the Song family, it is better to repay them for this favor.

As for Shao Jin, I didn't think that at her young age, she was assertive.

No wonder I tested her last time I could be so resolute, and it turned out that I had already made a choice.

This little girl is not easy to ......

She should have owed them to them.

When Shiro's errand is decided, he will send someone to Zhou's house to propose marriage.

Shiro is also right, he has an official body, and the Zhou family will also look up to him, maybe this marriage will be completed smoothly!

I will get married at the beginning of spring next year, and I will have a big fat grandson to hug me the year after tomorrow...... No, Jiashan is going to get married tomorrow...... That's set for the end of the year...... After all, Shiro is an uncle, and he is older than Jiashan, so without an uncle, he is alone and his nephew became a relative first......

Old Madam Guo pondered in her heart, her expression became softer and softer, and said, "Your eldest brother, you don't have to worry." I'll tell him. He did not dare to disagree. Lord Song also asked him to say hello and thank Lord Song. let him inherit this favor from Lord Song. ”

Cheng Chi always felt that the eldest brother Cheng Jing's ears were too soft and too dependent on the Yuan family, and he didn't want to discuss some things with him. Song Jingran invited him to come out, and he didn't tell Cheng Jing.

He and Cheng Jing have always had disagreements on how to shine the lintel of Cheng's house.

In Cheng Jing's view, the Cheng family and the Yuan family are in-laws and natural allies, and Yuan Weichang is the first assistant to the cabinet.

In Cheng Chi's view, it is precisely because the Cheng family and the Yuan family are in-laws and natural allies that sometimes there is no need to bow down to everything, you can try to make friends with several other elders, find an opportunity to clarify your position, and express your own ideas for governing the country, so as to get rid of the identity of the Yuan family's allies, and be in the middle between the elders.

Cheng Jing disagreed.

I feel that Cheng Chi is imaginative, and I don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

Cheng Chijue was burdened by his fame and did not want to forge ahead.

Although the brothers did not explain this, they had already seen the first hints in their actions, but they were just hindering Mrs. Guo, and there was no chance to find out about this matter.

If Cheng Jing knew that Cheng Chi had accepted Song Jingran's help, Cheng Chi would not only have fierce opposition, but would also ignore his explanation, give him advice on his own, arrange him a position that was most beneficial to his future in Cheng Jing's opinion, and call him to reprimand him, so that he would have less contact with Song Jingran in the future, and the relationship between Song Jingran and Yuan Weichang was a little tense. He and Song Jingran got too close, which would make people think that the two brothers were making a show, currying favor on both sides, and there was no position...... On this temple, in addition to being afraid of standing on the wrong side, I am also afraid of the grass on the wall, and the two sides are ......

The last time Song Jingran recommended him to be a leader, Cheng Jing had already called him over and reprimanded him.

Cheng Chi thought of something, and pursed his lips disapprovingly.

Cheng Chi knew the gap between Song Jingran and Yuan Weichang.

Yuan Weichang is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is notoriously exquisite, and there are too many relationships to balance. Song Jingran is in charge of the household department and is a well-known planner. Yuan Weichang inevitably asked Song Jingran to open the back door and give the feudal officials, protégés, and prefects who came to beg him to quickly allocate silver or more silver. Since Song Jingran is an auxiliary minister, he also has his own character and temper, and he may not sell Yuan Weichang's face every time. After a long time, Yuan Weichang had the idea of replacing Song Jingran, but he couldn't stand Song Jingran Jian in the emperor's heart, and he would figure out the emperor's thoughts, and Yuan Weichang's matter was not meticulous enough, so Song Jingran knew.

Since then, the two have become enemies.

Hearing his mother say that his eldest brother inherited Song Jingran's favor, Cheng Chi laughed, and was naturally happy to see it.

The eldest brother and the Yuan family got too close, and it was time to create a little contradiction that made him re-examine the relationship between the Cheng family and the Yuan family!

So when Cheng Jing and Yuan came to ask Mrs. Guo to say goodbye, Mrs. Guo talked about it, and Cheng Jing couldn't hide his surprise when he looked at Cheng Chi, Cheng Chi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.
