When the time entered November, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital, and the big families of the high families rose up again to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms, feast and drink entertainment. Jiannanhou Mansion received thirty or forty posts, Zhang's and Zhao Wei's lack of skills, so they could only pick a few families with the best friendship or those who were not easy to offend, only Zhao Xiu didn't have to pay attention to these invitations because he was going to get married, and he was the most idle one.

It is said to be leisurely, but in fact, it is also relative. Because she also has to be a housekeeper, she also has to take classes, translate Western books, practice calligraphy, painting and needlework.

The life at home is too boring, Zhao Xiu is very interested in the news of the outside world, and he is called opening up his knowledge, but in fact, he just wants to gossip.

Since his cousin Mi Xingzhi took office in Shuntian Mansion, everyone said that he was not good at Shuntian Mansion, but he was afraid that he would eat the head of the staff of the old mansion Yin, but he didn't expect that person to be very honest with him, and he never saw any small actions come out.

Not only that, after Mi Xingzhi took office, he really did several beautiful things, and solved several difficult and troublesome things that the Shuntian Mansion had accumulated for a long time. Even the emperor was alarmed, and praised several times in succession.

A foreign official who has just been transferred to Beijing in Mi Province, except for a future son-in-law in Beijing who is a marquis, has no help, and he is still from the same jinshi, and he can get the emperor's blue eyes, which naturally inevitably attracts people's jealousy. Someone took him to a copy of the matter of his visit to the palace of Guangping the next day after he entered Beijing. Thinking that the emperor is now looking at his brothers unpleasantly, he may be disgusted with Mi Province, but I don't know.

The Emperor saw the book. At first, I was really stunned and frowned. But he didn't have a seizure on the spot, but pressed the fold down - of course, he was not a fool, and it was one thing to be suspicious in his heart, and it was another thing to have a seizure on the spot and ask people to gossip. Mi Shengzhi has just made a contribution. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty praised him as a capable official, just because he only went to the Guangping Palace, and he stayed for only two quarters of an hour. was reprimanded by the emperor, didn't he tell everyone clearly that the emperor didn't like his brother? If the emperor doesn't mention what he thinks in his heart, he still wants to be faced.

Wait for the next court. Zhao Wei got the news. He hurried into the palace to explain to the emperor what was going on: Guangping Wangfu in Mi Province, he had never seen the master and young master of the palace at all, and he thanked Dr. Ye for his wife's childbirth. Zhao Wei also emphasized that the people of Mi Province only got such a single seedling in middle age, which was very cherished, and before his wife gave birth, the fetus was a little unstable and rested for a long time. Dr. Ye and Imperial Physician Jiang have both seen the pulse prescription before. Helped a lot.

The Emperor is not yet to lose all his senses, listen to him. The depression in my heart is much less. After that, he asked someone to go to Doctor Jiang to inquire, and it was really like this, his mood was smooth, and he was also pleasing to the eye, and he also rewarded a few medicinal materials, all of which could be used by the mother to recuperate after confinement. On the second day, he scolded the officials who had participated in the rice province.

At this time, the government and the opposition suddenly changed their views on rice province. This person not only has his own ability, but also has a son-in-law to support him, and now even the emperor has a good impression of him, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and then he is still young, his wife and children are all trouble-free, such a person has an unlimited future in the future. Although it is said that non-Hanlin is not in the cabinet, outside the cabinet, there are not no high-ranking officials. For such a potential stock, if you don't hurry up to make a friendship before others soar into the sky, it will be meaningless to heat up the stove in the future!

Mi Province became a celebrity in Beijing for a while, and many people who didn't know him had to make friends with him, even if it was just an accidental encounter, they had to pull him to talk for a long time, which annoyed him. But he is a straight temper, if others pull him to gossip for a long time, there is no useful word, he will tell people bluntly that he is very busy, let the other party say what he means directly, and choke people to death. Some people privately talk about his arrogance and rudeness, but more people find out after a few contacts that he is not arrogant, but he just doesn't understand human feelings.

Zhao Xiu always felt funny after listening to all kinds of discussions about his cousin outside. Thinking about the character of Mi Province, he was still born in the same Jinshi, and he actually rose to the fourth grade smoothly all the way, which is really blessed by God. When he first became an official in Fujian, he met a striker who was willing to protect him, tolerate him, and give him room to display his talents, and he was really lucky. From now on, the person who protects him will become his brother Zhao Wei, thinking about it, the pressure on his brother is quite great.

Mrs. Mi is also well aware of her husband's temperament, and not long after the confinement period, her body has only recovered, so she can't care about the cold weather, and she has stepped up her wife's diplomacy. She visited the wife of Lao Fu Yin, made friends with the wives of other subordinate officials, and did not forget to visit the wives of several high-ranking officials, and gave gifts very carefully, just to let their husbands or children and grandchildren leave a good impression on Mi Province.

Even the rumored and difficult staff of the old mansion Yin, Mrs. Mi did not forget to send a meeting gift to his wife, for fear that the staff would embarrass Mi Province when they would.

But the staff has always been very honest, not only did not add chaos to Mi Province, but also cooperated with his actions in official business, and even when he heard someone in the government gossip about Mi Province, he would reprimand two sentences, which made people can't help but be amazed, curious about how Mi Shengzhi subdued this thorn.

In fact, the staff thought very clearly, Lao Fu Yin said well, Mi Province has the ability and political achievements in the background, and he has a great future in the future, even visited the Guangping Palace, the emperor did not blame him, and he also rewarded good things, which shows that he is in the emperor's heart. Such a person, Shuntian Mansion Cheng is just a stepping stone for him, and he may not even take the position and authority of Shuntian Mansion Yin in his eyes. It's useless to block him in daily affairs, it will only offend people, but if you are good friends with him, after Lao Fu Yin dies, his children and grandchildren, or his staff, they can find a backer, and they are not afraid of being bullied.

As for why Lao Fu Yin and his staff don't have the same attitude towards the former Fu Cheng, just look at the latter's style of acting. Although there is nothing bad about it. But he couldn't tolerate people, and he was angry with the government and wanted to resign in anger. Just quit, and I have to spread the bad words of the staff everywhere. How could such a narrow-minded man be truly willing to support outsiders? Although Mi Xingzhi often choked people to death when he spoke, he released his goodwill as soon as they met, and he had no intention of rectifying the staff, and even persuaded him to join the office. Such a gentleman, I don't know when I will meet the second one. If you don't hurry up and seize the opportunity to make friends, after this village, there will be no such shop.

Lao Fu Yin once again used his connections. He made up for the position experienced in Shuntianfu for his staff, and took office after the year. From next year, this staff member will be a full-fledged official. He wasn't worried that other subordinate officials above him would take the opportunity to squeeze him, and Lao Fu Yin wasn't dead yet.

However, the person who has experienced the position of the government is selected. It also made everyone in the Shuntian Mansion understand it. That staff member really subdued Mi Province. Although I don't understand why the former would succumb to a mere official position from the seventh grade, Mi Xingzhi has been in Shuntianfu since then, but he really has no elbows.

Although he is only a Fu Cheng and is the second official of Fu Yin, Lao Fu Yin is old and sick, and he is kept at home for most of the year. As long as his staff does not jump out to fight for power, the Fu Cheng of Mi Province will become the de facto principal of the Shuntian Mansion in disguise, without the name of Fu Yin. But there is the truth of the mansion, and there is not only power in his hands. There are also soldiers, and there are opportunities to enter the palace from time to time to face the saint, which is really ideal. In comparison, that Guanglu Siqing is just a decent name, where can it be compared to Shuntianfu?

There are many officials who have evaded this position and secretly regret that they would know that the official vacancies experienced by a government can subdue the staff, and they will not give up the fat difference of the Shuntian Mansion. What Mi Province can do, they can also do, but unfortunately they don't have his luck.

Zhao Wei secretly complained about his father-in-law, and spit out to his sister at home: "It wasn't my father-in-law who snatched that person that day, it was they who lost it to my father-in-law when they didn't want it." At that time, they had no ability or courage, but now they are gossiping. If they are really so capable, why don't they see that they have made some achievements in their current official positions? It's clear that he can't even compare to a little finger of his father-in-law, and he can only play prestige on his lips! ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and said: "My brother also knows that they have no other skills except for playing prestige in their mouths. So what else can they do but say sour things? ”

Zhao Wei laughed when he heard this: "In this way, they are quite pitiful." It's just a few sour words that don't hurt or itch, and my father-in-law doesn't care, so let's not worry about those people. ”

I don't know if it's because the news provided by Zhao Wei helped Mi Xingzhi, Mi Xingzhi now looks at this son-in-law quite pleasing to the eye. Although it is impossible for him to be allowed to meet his daughter before marriage, as a father-in-law, out of concern for his son-in-law's schoolwork, it is still no problem to ask him from time to time to ask about his homework and talk about the situation between the DPRK and China. Zhao Wei was called to Mi's house at the end of three days, and every time he set off with a smile on his face and came back with a worried face. The reason is simple - because I never see my fiancée every time.

When Zhao Xiu saw his brother's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh at him in front of his grandmother.

After Mi Xingzhi returned to Beijing, the Mi family had a pillar of support, and the whole family settled down. Mrs. Tao took her daughter to avoid suspicion and asked to leave, but did not return to Jiading, but rented a small house near her sister's yard to live. Aunt Mingchun's niece Mi Yingzhi got married, and Mrs. Tao still had to help with it.

Aunt Mi discussed with her son and asked Mrs. Mi to resign. Her maiden brother has already taken office in Baoding, and the family has settled down, and she has prepared a place for her mother and son, and she should take her son over to defect. Before leaving, she wrote a letter to her husband in Guangdezhou, explaining her whereabouts, and asked the sixth room of the Zhao family to carry it, and left the Mi family with her son. Zhao Xiu specially arranged for the family to escort her all the way, and safely sent the person to her mother's brother's house before turning back.

Time soon entered the wax moon. There is a lot of snow this year, some people say that this is a good year for the snow, some people are worried that there will be waterlogging in the spring next year, and some people are worried that there is too much snow on their roofs, and they don't know if the roof will collapse. At this time, good news suddenly came out of the palace.

The concubine, who had just entered the palace for less than half a year, was pregnant. (To be continued......)
