Min Jia said coldly: "If it's true, we'll leave." If it's fake, aren't you going to put it out? If the Cheng family doesn't agree, I'll go to my father and brother and go with you. ”

She calculated that it was impossible for the Cheng family to let her beg her mother's family, Cheng Jing was an elder, the Min family was just a prosperous person, and there were more officials than the Cheng family.

Cheng Xu was very surprised, and looked at Min Jia for a long time without saying a word.

Min Jia's expression became even colder.

Cheng Xu smiled self-deprecatingly.

Min Jia wanted to go out with him, because he felt that the Cheng family was too chaotic and didn't want to wade into the troubled waters of the Cheng family, right?

He suddenly felt that Min Jia was also pitiful.

The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Of course, the marriage of children must be agreed by their parents, and Min Jia just obeyed the orders of her parents and did not make any mistakes, but she fell into the quagmire of their family by mistake. And he is the one who formed this quagmire.

What's wrong with her?

Cheng Xu's mind became calm.

He told Min Jia what happened at the beginning, including the fact that he almost humiliated Zhou Shaojin: "...... Cheng Lu said that he and Zhou's childhood sweethearts, they were in love, and his mother also liked Zhou, that was when he put gold on his face! The Zhou family has a father and a sister, and the Jinling Cheng family is not a small family, even if he is liked by the elders because of his youth and intelligence, it is impossible for him to walk in the inner courtyard at will, let alone have any dealings with the Zhou family.

"As for the marriage between Zhou and Uncle Chi, it was my grandmother who did it - Zhou's handwriting was very good, and she once helped my grandmother copy the scriptures. I also accompanied my grandmother to Putuo Temple to worship incense, which was deeply liked by my grandmother. However, at that time, there was no division, and Uncle Chi was much older than the Zhou family, so everyone didn't think about it. Later, when I came to the capital, we met again, and someone mentioned to my grandmother that she would marry the sixth lady in the second room of the Fang family to Uncle Chi, and the sixth miss of the Fang family was only fifteen or six years old at the time, only one or two years older than the Zhou family. Hired Zhou for Uncle Chi. How could it be like Cheng Zhen said, Uncle Chi plotted to marry Zhou. If the marriage between them is a little reluctant or unwilling, Zhou's father, Lord Zhou, is also from the two Jinshi lists, and he is already in the post of Baoding prefect, and the Cheng family will not agree to the Zhou family. ”

Min Jia looked at Cheng Xu in amazement.

Is Ah Xuan still involved?

She thought of Fang Xuan's dissatisfaction with her husband.

It didn't seem like that was the case at first. And as time went on, the relationship between Fang Xuan and her brother became more and more strained.

Is it because her brother is known to be a high fighter? But Jinke fell behind, and Cheng Chi's reputation became louder and louder after he impeached Qu Yuan. Why is the official getting bigger and bigger?

And the parties involved are all in the capital, and after a little inquiry, Min Jia feels that this matter is true.

She felt a pain in her head.

Cheng Xu did not deny that the Yuan family broke up the marriage between Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Yi because of him. did not deny that he found a way to drive Cheng out to study for him Yuan, and did not deny that he liked Zhou Shaojin.

Min Jia was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Then I'll go and talk to my brother, and let him help you find a way to talk to Lord Jianwang, the servant of the ministry, and find a chance to be released." ”

Although Wang Jian is not a secretary of the ministry, he is in charge of the specific affairs of the ministry, which positions can be operated and which positions have been determined, he may know better than the secretary of the ministry.

If it is really released, he and Min Jia can be regarded as dependent on each other!

Cheng Xu said: "Thank you!" ”

His expression was more sincere and peaceful than ever.

Min Jia nodded with a smile, went out of the study door and went to Yuan's place, and said: "Xianggong is determined to let it out, when I brought tea to Xianggong and went in, Xianggong was writing a post to my brother, saying that I asked my brother to help say a few words in front of Lord Wang." I can't stop it. I was going to ask my grandmother to come and persuade him. I wanted to get the right card from my mother and sat in a sedan chair. ”

Yuan was furious when he heard this, and said, "Whose daughter-in-law runs to her mother's house if she has something?" If he doesn't take the Ji Shi exam, can't you persuade him a little? As the saying goes, a wife is half blessed. You are also from everyone, so you can't persuade Jiashan well? If he can't make a climate, can you have a good life? ”

But as long as they are entangled with the Yuan family, even if Cheng Xu enters the cabinet, they will not be able to have a good life.

Min Jia muttered in her heart, but her face was respectful, and said, "That's why I stopped Xianggong and wanted to find my grandmother!" ”

Yuan was choked.

Min Jia's expression became more respectful, and said, "Mother, this matter should be sooner rather than later, and there will be changes later!" ”

Yuan had no choice but to wave his hand at her helplessly and said, "Go and come back quickly!" ”

Min Jia responded and hurried to Chaoyangmen.

When Mrs. Guo heard the maid's mother-in-law's communication, she said to Zhou Shaojin, who was coaxing Brother Yun to play with her: "I just came back from going to Hongluo Temple yesterday, and the Min family came to visit today, could it be that your sister-in-law said something unstable?" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled comfortingly: "Only when you see it will you know!" ”

Mrs. Guo bowed her head and invited Min Jia in.

Min Jia didn't dare to say anything about Cheng Xu, only that Cheng Xu had made up her mind to leave the capital, and was about to write a letter to the Min family, but she had no choice, so she came to ask the old lady. Please ask the old lady to help Cheng Jing talk about it, and let Cheng Xu go out: "...... At this time, it will only tighten more and more. It's better to take a step back. When Xianggong knows what is wrong, it is also a way to find a way to enter the Tongzheng Division, like Uncle Chi in the Governor's Yuan. No matter which way he goes, he has to be willing to go. Such a strong twisted melon is not only not sweet, but may also cause an accident. ”

Mrs. Guo is also worried about this matter these days.

There are still a few days to go, but Cheng Xu didn't let go of his mouth to participate in the selection of Shu Jishi, they couldn't pressure him to take the exam, right? Even if he presses people in, he doesn't have to make a fuss, he can't pass the exam, it's not for nothing!

"So," Mrs. Guo said disappointedly, "he has already made up his mind?" ”

"yes!" Min Jia persuaded, "For others." If you can't pass the Shu Ji Shi career, you will go halfway, but in a family like ours, my father can stay in the cabinet for at least ten years, and after ten years, isn't there still Uncle Chi? It's just that if you go out for a few days, what's the matter! ”

That's right.

There are people in the court who are good officials.

For Cheng Chi, Mrs. Guo is more confident than Cheng Jing.

Min Jia's words pleased Mrs. Guo.

But Mrs. Guo still said in a deep voice: "The stakes are very high, and this matter has to be discussed with his second uncle, his father, and his uncle." ”

It's natural.

Min Jia thought for a while and said in a low voice: "If the father-in-law is released, the father-in-law and mother-in-law's health are still healthy, and I want to take care of the father-in-law's diet and daily life." ”

Mrs. Guo was surprised. But I was very happy in my heart.

She's an old man. How could the little gap between the young couple be hidden from her eyes.

The Min family's stomach has not moved since she got married, and she followed Jiashan out, away from the Yuan family, who was a little picky and mean to her daughter-in-law, maybe she would soon be able to hold her great-grandson. The relationship between Min and Jiashan will also improve.

Old man Guo smiled and nodded. Didn't hide his relief.

Min Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

There are children as an excuse. Even if the Yuan family wanted to keep her, the elders of their own family would speak-Cheng Xu had fled, why did she stay here and be angry!

Let's go, let's go together.

Anyway, the days to come are still long, who knows what kind of people and things will be encountered.

She looked relaxed and returned to Xinglin Hutong. changed his clothes and went to Cheng Xu's study.

Cheng Xu knew that it was done when he looked at her, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Min is also a very capable person, if I don't marry him, I'm afraid I'll live well, right?

Cheng Xu looked at Min's gaze and was much gentler.

Min Jia didn't pay attention, her mind was all on the matter of the outside, sitting on the Taishi chair opposite Cheng Xu while drinking tea, while relying on the memory in her mind, she said: "You are still young, if you want to go to a prosperous county, you can only be a county, and if you can't do it, you can only be a master." I think it's better to go to a smaller county town to be a parent official, and I can be the master of everything. It is best to choose someone who has an elder in the family to serve as the prefect there...... I think about it, Shandong is very good, but if you want to avoid suspicion, then it is better to go to Jiangnan......"

She was there to talk about it, and Cheng Xu listened quietly for the first time without speaking.

Mrs. Guo called the men in the family to Chaoyangmen to talk about Cheng Xu.

Cheng Jing didn't make a sound.

Cheng Shao still insisted that Cheng Xu take the exam: "Even if we don't pass the exam, we will do what we should do, so as not to regret it when we get it." ”

Cheng Chi's attitude was very tough, and he said: "The days are lived by him, and the road is his own." Now that he's decided, let's not say anything more. Jiangnan don't let him go. He didn't come to tell us about such an important matter in person, but he rushed to his daughter-in-law to beg the old lady. Jiangnan has been a place of officialdom since ancient times, there are countless hidden dragons and crouching tigers, rather than letting him go there to make trouble and we will help clean up the mess, it is better to let him go to Sichuan or Xi'an, which is not as prosperous as Jiangnan but not as difficult as Lingnan, and it is not bad for him to go out to see the world. At the beginning, the second brother went to Sichuan with bamboo canes and mango shoes. In the future, when Brother Yun is older, he will have to take a trip. ”

According to Cheng Chi's grandfather's intentions, a good boy has ambitions in all directions, and he should take a hike once to increase his knowledge and sharpen his will. It was not easy for Cheng Xu to come by, the Yuan family was resolutely opposed, and Mrs. Guo did not dare to insist, so when it was Cheng Rang's turn, she would follow them.

Cheng Jing blushed and said, "Then let Jiashan go out!" ”

Even if his son is bad when he takes office, when he becomes a minister, the emperor will usually reward him, and then find a way to get his son back.

By the time the choice of Ji Jishi is over, it is the end of April, and Yun Ge'er is going to celebrate his first birthday.

Li took Zhou Youjin and Zhou Zongjin to the Buddha bathing festival and arrived after the Buddha bathing festival and lived in the guest room of Chaoyangmen.

Zhou Chujin and Liao Shaotang, who were admitted to the Shu Jishi, and Liao Shaotang, who was watching politics in the Criminal Department, brought his official brother to greet the Li family.

Li was very happy and held a banquet in the courtyard of her guest residence to entertain Liao Shaotang.

Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin also participated with Brother Yun, but it was Mrs. Guo, who said that the weather was too hot and didn't want to move, so let them have a good time, and didn't come over in Tingxiang Courtyard.
