Zhao Wei was puzzled, but he didn't say anything, he greeted his father-in-law Mi Xingzhi and greeted him for his hard work on the road.

Mi Xingzhi didn't know if it was because he saw the relationship between his wife and children, he was in a good mood at the moment, he smiled and exempted Zhao Wei's courtesy, said some gossip on the road, and asked Zhao Wei what he had learned from studying in the Criminal Department recently.

Zhao Wei talked about his experience in the Criminal Department, probably because he was cautious and humble, and his reputation was very good, and his boss also had a high evaluation. It is likely that Mi Xingzhi heard about him from elsewhere in advance, praised him greatly, and told him to continue to study hard. Regardless of whether Zhao Wei can officially enter the Criminal Department as an official in the future, or be sent to the local government to take charge of the party, it is always right to learn more things.

Zhao Wei responded modestly, and then directly changed the topic and talked about the new shortage of rice province. He told Mi Xingzhi all the information he heard, and said sincerely: "The other seats are more or less lacking, Guanglu Temple Qing is Xiao Jiuqing, but it is also decent, I am afraid that my father-in-law is not familiar with the affairs of Guanglu Temple, it is difficult to make contributions, and it will be even more difficult to rise in the future." Originally, Shuntian Mansion Cheng was a good position, but the staff around Lao Fu Yin was so difficult...... It is better for the father-in-law to rest for a few months and spend more time with the mother-in-law and the child. Now it's almost the New Year, and after the New Year, the son-in-law is going to marry his cousin, there are many affairs, and it is hard for the mother-in-law to be busy alone, and it is good for the father-in-law to help her more. By the beginning of spring next year, there will be more vacancies in Beijing, and there may be one more suitable for the father-in-law. ”

He really wanted to persuade Mi Xingzhi to rest for two more months, and Mi Xingzhi could hear that he was sincerely persuading, but Mi Xingzhi himself had his own opinion: "It doesn't have to be like this. I will follow the instructions of the officials. The affairs of Guanglu Temple, I may be a little unfamiliar. But as long as you study with your heart, you may not be unable to learn. Shuntian Mansion is also very good, I was born in the same jinshi, and I have been a deputy second officer in the past, so I still have some experience in asking myself. I have heard of Lao Fu Yin's character for a long time, and I admire it very much. As for his staff. It's just a staff member, can't I help him? ”

I actually went directly to the biggest difficulty, and I didn't worry about getting into trouble at all.

Zhao Wei was dumbfounded. After being silent for a while, I couldn't help but persuade again. But Mi Xingzhi had already made up his mind and persuaded him not to worry too much: "I have also been an official for more than ten years, and I have already seen many difficult people. I know what to expect. You can study in the Criminal Department with peace of mind. Don't worry about me. ”

Zhao Wei couldn't help him, so he had to give up, but he secretly planned in his heart that he wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Mi in private and remind her to prepare early. In the past, Mi Xingzhi was able to have a smooth ride in the local office, and it was really thanks to this virtuous helper who had a good interpersonal relationship for him, otherwise with his temper, he would have been squeezed out of the crowd for a long time.

Mi Xingzhi didn't know what Zhao Wei was thinking at this time. He only asked Zhao Wei for some information: "How old are the staff members of Lao Fu Yin?" Can you have a reputation? ”

Zhao Wei had inquired about this news beforehand: "I heard that I am also nearly thirty years old. He has a reputation for being famous, and I heard that he once spent two years in Guozijian, and he is considered a prisoner. ”

"Pretty young." Mi Xingzhi narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything. In fact, the age of this staff member is only a few years younger than Mi Xingzhi himself. Mi Province was born in the same Jinshi, and has achieved the four products. This staff member is still famous, with the power of the proprietor, there is an official, but there is no official name, although he has the authority to follow the three products, but in fact, it is completely a flower in the mirror, the moon in the water. Lao Fu Yin is old, old and sick, and may leave the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin at any time. As soon as he leaves, what can the staff do, no matter how capable they are? Aren't you going to fight back to your original form and be a lifter?

Although the people around him think that Mi Xingzhi has shortcomings in human affairs, he himself does not agree. He felt that he was still a person who understood, but others might not understand. For example, this staff member of Shuntian Mansion, he acts so domineeringly, and he doesn't rely on the power of Lao Fu Yin? Could it be that Lao Fu Yin really didn't know anything about it? Without his connivance, why did the staff step on the heads of all the subordinate officials of the Shuntian Mansion? Although the old man Yin has written to the old man many times, as long as he is still in the official position, he is still the leader of the Shuntian Mansion, and his subordinates want to seize power, how can he not have any ideas? Whether it is to take the initiative to say goodbye to old age in a beautiful manner, or to leave in disgrace after being robbed of power, there is a difference between the two.

However, the staff fox fake tiger power is not a smart approach. If you have a heart for your career, you should take the right path.

Mi Xingzhi twisted his beard, and he already had an idea in his heart.

Zhao Wei looked at his expression and was suspicious, but his father-in-law refused to reveal his tone, and his son-in-law had no way to ask. After chatting for half an hour, Mi Xingzhi picked up the tea bowl and drank two sips of tea, Zhao Wei hesitantly got up to say goodbye, and made an appointment to come back another day to ask his father-in-law about the name of the sentence.

When Zhao Wei walked out of the living room, he caught a glimpse of a scarlet skirt in the corner of the verandah. He paused at his feet, looked quietly, and recognized only a familiar back. He lowered his head and smiled, and couldn't help but look up at the back again, hesitated, and turned away.

In a few months, he will be able to marry his daughter-in-law home. Now in front of my father-in-law, be a little more reserved, a little more reserved......

Mi Yingzhi resurfaced her head, looking at Zhao Wei's distant figure, feeling a little stunned. Suddenly heard the door of the living room squeak, her father Mi Xingzhi seemed to be coming out, she was afraid that her father would know that she was peeking at Zhao Wei here, so she quickly turned around and ran, her steps were light and fast, and she almost couldn't hear any sound.

Running back to the backyard, she gasped. Mrs. Mi saw it through the window and couldn't help but be surprised: "Sister Ying, what are you running?" ”

Mi Yingzhi's face flushed, she hurriedly stood firm, and bowed to Mrs. Mi gently: "Mother." ”

Mrs. Mi smiled: "Come in, I just heard that Jiannanhou is here, have you seen him?" ”

Mi Yingzhi entered the room with a red face and sat down by the kang, and whispered: "I only saw a back, he has already left." ”

Mrs. Mi looked at her daughter with a smile and said, "He also has a heart, your father just returned to Beijing, so he rushed over to ask for peace." ”

Mi Yingzhi's face turned even redder, and in order to cover up, she went to her brother's cradle to tease him, and suddenly remembered her little cousin who went to Beijing with her father, so she asked Mrs. Mi in a low voice: "Mother, the one in the east ear room...... What did my father think? We already have Brother Yang in our family now, so why call him again? Is it that the third uncle and the third aunt are still not dead? ”

Brother Yang is the nickname of the son of Mi Province and Mrs. Mi, and now the name has not been raised, so he is called "Brother Yang" first, and when he is older in a few years, he will be named again when he goes to school.

Mrs. Mi actually had some doubts about her husband's practice of bringing a three-room nephew, but her husband had explained the reason to her for the first time, and at this moment she told her daughter truthfully: "Your cousin is also sad at home, and it is good that there was a succession in the past, but now that your brother is born, he can't pass it, your third aunt treats him as a thorn in the eye at home, and your third uncle has always opened one eye and closed one eye......"

Mi Xingzhi took this nephew, firstly, he took pity on him and couldn't bear to see him suffered, and secondly, because the eldest brother couldn't get used to what Sanfang did, so he took the initiative to write to him and asked him to take in the child. It's not for him to pass on, but for him to keep this child by his side in the name of teaching, raise him well, and make an arm for Brother Yang in the future.

Brother Yang is still young, when he was born, his parents were in their thirties, and the eldest sister was about to get married. It will take him at least ten years to grow up, he can try the imperial examination, and he can have a reputation for fame. At that time, Mi Sheng's husband and wife are both in their fifties, how long can they protect him? If there is an older brother who can help him in trouble, Brother Yang will be easier in the future.

Therefore, Mrs. Mi acquiesced to her husband's actions, anyway, there is no need to adopt, the child is still the eldest son of the third room, but he is brought by Mi Shengzhi on weekdays. The couple in the third room is far away, and it is impossible to do anything unfavorable to the child.

Mi Yingzhi understood, but she was a little worried: "Aren't the third uncle and third aunt objecting?" I'm afraid that the third aunt won't see him take advantage of this. "The heir to the third room has not been replaced, that cousin is just moving to the uncle in another room to live, what should be inherited by him is still his, and his younger brothers and sisters can't grab it if they want to.

Mrs. Mi just smiled at this: "Tiger poison does not eat children, how can your third uncle object?" As for your third aunt, what does it matter what she thinks? This matter was decided by the long house. ”

Mi Yingzhi thought about it, pursed her lips and smiled, she called Yahuan and asked, "Is the younger brother of Dongxiang settled?" Have you freshened up? It's still early for dinner, but you can bring him something to eat? ”

Yahuan replied, "I have settled down, I have freshened up, and I have changed into the new clothes that my wife ordered me to send." Although the kitchen sent a few small snacks, he didn't touch any of them, and honestly sat on a chair and waited for someone to call, very well-behaved. She rolled her eyes and said in a low voice: "Actually, he is so hungry that he growls, and the little girl who went into the house to clean up the basin and hand towel said that she could hear it from a distance of a foot." ”

Mi Yingzhi smiled and said: "This is too well-behaved, just take a snack to eat when you are hungry, it was originally for him." ”

Mrs. Mi sighed, "How do you know his pity? I'm afraid that there is no shortage of hardships at home, obviously hungry, the dim sum is placed in front of him, and he doesn't dare to touch it more. After that, he called the big girl next to him, asked her to see her nephew in the third room, and persuaded him to buy some tea and snacks. It's still early before the meal, and if you are really hungry, if you don't eat it, it will be easy to hurt yourself. Children's homes, it's better not to be hungry.

After a while, the big girl came back with a smile, and the boy in the third room came in after her, and saluted Mrs. Mi and Mi Yingzhi in a serious manner, and thanked them for the new clothes and snacks they had given, which he had already eaten.

Seeing that he was young, Mi Yingzhi saluted one by one, like a little adult, and felt pity in her heart, hurriedly helped him up, and asked with a smile: "It's all my own family, my brother doesn't have to go outside." Have you eaten a snack but still feel hungry? I still have it here. ”

The boy pursed his lips and smiled shyly, showing a little tiger teeth, and whispered: "Thank you, sister, I've eaten enough, I'll have to eat in a while, it's not good to eat too many snacks." ”

When Mi Yingzhi saw that he knew the courtesy, she added a little affection, and thought to herself: It's not bad for my brother to have an arm in the future, and she will take good care of this cousin. (To be continued......)
