Chapter 206: Matchmaking
The queen looked at Wan Ning, she also learned that she was going to marry the clan at such an age, she thought that she would be a rich and glorious princess in the future, but she didn't expect to sit firmly in the back seat.
Knowing this, she said that she would not marry in anything.
Most of the methods in the inner house are really jealous, but in this palace, life is at stake at every turn, and she walked over cautiously step by step.
Fear has always been hidden in the bottom of my heart, how many people can understand.
This wealth, glory, and high position are enviable, but her eyes hurt all the time, otherwise she would not have faded out of the palace at a young age.
Miss Yao Qi's sentence was scared, and it entered her heart.
The queen stood up, the female official hurriedly went over to serve, Wan Ning also got up and saluted, the queen didn't say a word, and went straight out of the hall.
After a while, the female kung fu officer came in and said, "The side hall has prepared a room, Miss Yao Qi will follow me to rest!" ”
Wan Ning nodded.
……
The county lord of An Yi sat at the banquet and nodded to Cui Yingrong, Cui Yingrong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the will to marry did not come down, not to mention Wang Tongyuan, even if it was a real relative of the emperor, he had to find a way to let go.
The chamberlain sent the news out of the palace, and it turned several times into Cui Yiting's hands.
Cui Yiting raised his head suddenly, and there was a cold light in his slender eyes, "When?" ”
He Ying said: "In less than half an hour, the banquet in the palace should not have dispersed yet." ”
Cui Yiting immediately got up, "Where is Yao Yiwen?" ”
He Ying immediately went out and asked, "Still in the yamen." ”
He Ying was about to ask Cui Yiting what he was going to do next. As soon as he opened his mouth, Cui Yiting had already opened the curtain and walked out.
……
Yao Yiwen was copying documents in the ministry, and the subordinate who ran errands on weekdays came over and whispered, "Lord Yao." The little guy from King Zhuang's mansion came over, and King Zhuang asked Lord Yao to come over and talk. ”
Zhuang Wang?
Yao Yiwen couldn't help but shake the pen in his hand.
How could King Zhuang want to see him, when King Zhuang was holding a happy event, he went to celebrate, but he only said a few polite words, and he didn't often interact with this prince on weekdays.
"When?" Yao Yiwen asked.
The official hurriedly said, "My lord, let's go out and have a look by yourself!" ”
Yao Yiwen put away the paperwork and hurriedly walked out, and King Zhuang's entourage was already waiting there. Yao Yiwen was about to speak, and the entourage said: "The prince is waiting in the palace, Lord Yao, please!" ”
Going to the palace soon?
Yao Yiwen didn't have time to think about it. The sedan chair has been carried over.
Sitting in a sedan chair and arriving at King Zhuang's mansion in a daze, Yao Yiwen couldn't understand why Prince Zhuang called him over after thinking about it.
The young man in Tsing Yi of King Zhuang's Mansion was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Yao Yiwen, he took him to the study and sat down without saying a word.
Fang was still in the yamen, and in the blink of an eye, he was in the palace.
Prince Zhuang is the emperor's most trusted clan. It's just that in recent years, he has been riddled with old diseases and rarely goes in and out of the imperial court. I don't make friends with officials in private, why did I call him over today.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, Yao Yiwen tidied up his neckline, stood up and prepared to greet him, but heard the sound of talking coming from outside.
"Lord Zhuang, please help me with this time."
Yao Yiwen recognized this voice, it was He Mingdao from Zuo Chunfang.
Zhuang Wang Ye also invited He Mingdao to come over, and it seems that it must be a business matter. Yao Yiwen listened attentively.
Zhuang Wang said: "The position of Zhan Shi in Zhan Shifu has not been decided by Yang Jing, and the official document has been distributed. No one can help. ”
It's obviously a tone of shirk.
He Mingdao continued: "Zhan Shi's subordinate officials don't dare to think about it, because I heard that the position of the General Administration Department has been vacant...... The prince once took charge of the general affairs department, "deliberately paused here, and his voice became meaningful," and asked the prince to help him more. ”
King Zhuang said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?" ”
He Mingdao became even more humble, "Xia Guan knows that the princess likes peonies, and this gem looks like a real flower at first glance. ”
Listening to He Mingdao's flattering voice, Yao Yiwen couldn't help but flick his sleeves, what a villain's face, unscrupulous means for his official position, and now he doesn't even want face, having a milk is a mother is saying that he is a person like He Mingdao, it's really disgraceful, think about how he has also befriended He Mingdao, how do you know that He Mingdao, who has a bit of a character on his face, is so disgusting in private.
"Take the things back," said King Zhuang, "this king has a serious cough, so he is recuperating at home, and he doesn't care about the affairs in the yamen." ”
King Zhuang repeatedly refused, He Mingdao couldn't help but be a little anxious, "I heard that the prince already has a candidate in mind, and that is Yao Yiwen from the Ministry of Officials." ”
Yao Yiwen's heart trembled, he didn't expect King Zhuang to call him over for this matter, many people went to the Ministry of Officials to inquire about the news these days, and everyone was full of anticipation, not knowing who such a good thing would fall on.
Department of General Administration.
That is a position that only the emperor's confidants and ministers will hold.
Unlike now, although he is famous, he has no real power in his hands.
If he was asked to go to the General Administration, Yao Yiwen's fingers trembled, what would it look like, and he was completely raised his eyebrows in the court, Yao Yiwen's heart couldn't help but speed up when he thought of this.
King Zhuang did not speak.
He Mingdao seemed to stand up, "Lord Wang, that Yao Yiwen is overwhelmed......"
Yao Yiwen suddenly felt a fire on his face, and his eyes widened.
He Mingdao continued, "The prince doesn't know that Yao Yiwen, on the surface, he has some backbones, but in fact, he is unscrupulous for his official position, who doesn't know what situation the Yao family fell into in the past, and it is not that he married the Shen family in Yangzhou to slowly get better, but that Yao Yiwen took a leave of absence from the Shen family in order to be an official, and married the daughter of Guang Engong, although he was a servant of the Ministry of Officials, he never had the slightest idea, and the court had a little bit of turmoil, so he immediately went to Guang Engong to discuss, Guang Engong said that he did not dare to go to the west in the east, and he was called 'Zhang Xiaozi' in private. ”
"In the past, when the official was serving as a school administrator, Mrs. Yao bribed the examiner to ask for test questions, but the examiner exposed it on the spot, and the Yao family pushed it to the Shen family.
He Mingdao's voice clearly entered Yao Yiwen's ears.
Zhang Xiaozi.
Bribing the examiner.
When was he called Zhang Xiaozi? Wasn't it Shen who bribed the examiner? The Shen family used his relationship for Shen Jingyuan, and as a result, he almost affected his father. How did he become a father, bribing the main exam, and failing to push it to the Shen family.
Yao Yiwen only felt that his heart seemed to suddenly burst open, and his body shook twice heavily by the scattered blood.
He scolded He Mingdao in his heart for doing whatever it takes to be an official, but he didn't expect He Mingdao to say this about him in the blink of an eye.
He Mingdao is the person who has dealings with him. How dare you say this about him in front of Prince Zhuang for an official position.
What will happen to Lord Zhuang when he hears it?
Even if he intended to recommend him to the General Administration Department before, he would hesitate now.
He Mingdao was still talking.
The Shen family, the affairs of the Zhang family are beating on the tip of his tongue.
Finally, King Zhuang's deep voice sounded, "You go back first, I can't be the master of this matter, and it depends on how the officials are promoted." ”
He Mingdao had exhausted all his efforts and had to leave in frustration.
Yao Yi heard the noise outside. Seeing the royal blue curtain open and the young Zhuang Wang walked in, the blood in his whole body suddenly surged up his cheeks.
The indescribable shame made him tremble.
"Lord Wang." Yao Yiwen stepped forward and saluted, "Then He Mingdao is a bloody squirting person, our Yao family has never had such a thing." ”
As soon as Yao Yi heard the words, he only felt that King Zhuang's strange gaze fell on his face.
Somehow. Seeing that kind of gaze. He couldn't help but wince in his heart, as if he had told a big lie.
"I called you over, I had something to tell you," King Zhuang picked up the teacup at hand, "Now it happens that there is something going on in this king's mansion......"
This is to send off guests.
Yao Yiwen's heart became anxious, cold sweat slid down his forehead, he couldn't walk out of this door now no matter what, otherwise he would never have the face to see anyone again.
"Lord Wang." Yao Yiwen looked over earnestly, "Please also ask the prince for advice." ”
"I have heard that you have a daughter who is generous and decent. There is a degree of progress and retreat, and it has long been famous. ”
I didn't expect King Zhuang to mention Wanning.
Yao Yiwen swallowed, "The prince is talking about my eldest daughter." ”
King Zhuang nodded.
"This king thinks that your family style has always been good, so he wants to be a matchmaker for Ling Ai." King Zhuang's voice came faintly.
The family style has always been good.
Yao Yiwen felt that his throat was as uncomfortable as being cut by a knife, and the salty blood kept gushing to his throat, and He Mingdao's voice came again.
From this point of view, Prince Zhuang invited him to the palace in order to tell Wanning that he was a matchmaker, not because of his official position as the Secretary of General Affairs.
If it weren't for Wanning, Prince Zhuang would never have left him to speak again.
Yao Yiwen lowered his head and said, "I didn't expect the little girl to have the prince as a matchmaker." ”
King Zhuang thought for a while, and his eyes showed a look of love and talent, which was completely different from looking at Yao Yiwen before, "This person who wants to talk about this king is from a famous family, has won the trust of the emperor, and is in an important position at a young age, and is proficient in all four books, five classics and six arts......"
Hearing what Zhuang Wang Ye said, Yao Yiwen suddenly thought of Chu Qing, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, the Chu family can be regarded as a serious scholarly family, if you want to talk about being young and promising, Chu Qing should be regarded as one.
The editing of the Hanlin Academy is the official position of the seventh grade, and there should be a good future in the future, and for Wanning, this is already an excellent marriage.
It's just that the Chu family doesn't dislike Wanning's biological mother, who was born in a businessman?
Chen Ge Lao didn't refuse to let Chen Jiran marry Wanning because of this, he also thought that if he couldn't succeed in the scholarly family, he could only look for it again in the future.
King Zhuang continued: "Even the emperor praised him for his quiet thinking and dedication, uprightness, and he had the official position of the sixth grade without entering the imperial examination, and he was a new upstart around the emperor." ”
Yao Yiwen's eyes widened in surprise suddenly.
Zheng Liupin's official position.
Who's this?
King Zhuang said: "This king is talking about the brothers are all Shangshu, the mother of the first queen, and the eldest son of Cui Shitu, a scholar of the Jinshen Palace, Cui Yiting. ”
The Cui family is the mother family of the former queen, a serious and famous family.
Zhuang Wangye is a matchmaker for Cui Yiting and wants to marry Wanning.
Yao Yiwen froze there.
King Zhuang raised his eyes, "Are you willing to marry the Cui family for this family matter?" The Cui family invited this king to propose marriage, for fear of neglecting Ling Ai. ”
The Cui family was afraid of snubbing Wanning.
Looking at King Zhuang's gaze, Yao Yi heard He Mingdao's words ringing in his ears, he was called "Zhang Xiaozi" in private, and King Zhuang refused to say it, because he was afraid that he would not be able to make up his mind and discuss with his father-in-law?
Yao Yiwen was already sweating his clothes, and immediately nodded, "It is a blessing for a little girl to be a matchmaker." "I hope that for the sake of this family business, the prince will not take the words He Mingdao said to heart.
He never imagined that one day he would have to hold on to Wan Ning in order to stand up straight in front of people.
Without this family business, he must have panicked.
