Chapter 64: I Want to Stay
At four o'clock in the afternoon, in the Funing Palace, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was in a good mood, and called Empress Cao and Miao Guifei, as well as Princess Zhao Huiruo of Fukang, and the family of four sat around to have lunch.
Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who was sitting on the main seat, after eating a few bites of food, immediately faced Empress Cao, who was sitting on his left, and asked: "Cao Niangzi, let me ask you, in your impression, in the imperial history, King Gongchen and Governor Jia Changchao, what is the eloquence of these two ministers?" ”
Empress Cao, who was chewing slowly, heard Song Renzong Zhao Zhen's inquiry, she immediately chewed half of the food in her mouth, swallowed it into her stomach, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Empress Cao turned sideways and replied with a smile: "Qiqi official family, in the impression of the concubines, Wang Gongchen won the champion that year and wrote a good article. Now, he serves as the middle of the imperial history and is in charge of the imperial history platform.
And Jia Chang was an official to the governor of the government, and he once served as the right counselor and the imperial historian, and he also served as the national eunuch. Presumably, among my courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, the two of them should be quite eloquent and eloquent. Otherwise, the two of them will also be promoted and reused by the official family. ”
Previously, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen still looked like he was sitting upright, and after he listened to Queen Cao's answer, he immediately laughed, and the three women who were sitting around him, Queen Cao, Miao Guifei and Zhao Huiruo, were stunned.
Miao Niangzi, who was sitting on the right hand side of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, asked curiously in a tentative tone: "The official family, the concubine thinks that what the Cao Sage just said, every sentence is reasonable, Wang Gongchen and Jia Changchao are both capable of eloquence, I don't know why the official family laughs so much?" ”
As soon as Concubine Miao's words of inquiry fell, Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who was still laughing, restrained the bright smile on his cheeks, but he still said with some reluctance: "Cao Niangzi, Miao Niangzi, what the two of you just said, of course I know that the two of them are indeed good at arguing. ”
Speaking of this, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen suddenly paused, trying to control the smile on his cheeks, but in the end it ended in failure, so he no longer paid attention to it, but changed his words, and continued to smile and said: "However, the two of you don't know that today is not the time, in the Vertical Arch Palace, Wang Gongchen and Jia Changchao The two of them, facing a petty official from the eighth rank who was just and weak in the crown, were speechless and speechless.
"Whenever the two of them are above the court, they will almost always find a lot of faults and loopholes in the things mentioned by other ministers. Even what I say, they sometimes don't let it go. It's good today, but in the vertical arch hall, he lost to a twenty-year-old junior official from the eighth grade. Tell me about it, isn't this something fun?! ”
When Song Renzong Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Empress Cao and Concubine Miao, who were sitting on his left and right sides respectively, although they were at a loss when they heard it, they still invariably said in unison, spit out two words from their mouths, and said, "Coke!" ”
Regarding the disobedient words of Empress Cao and Miao Guifei, Zhao Huiruo, who was sitting on the seat opposite Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, couldn't look past it, and immediately said honestly: "Niangniang, sister, you two obviously don't think what Daddy said just now is ridiculous, but why do you say Coke?" Anyway, I don't think it's fun at all, but it's also very boring. ”
Previously, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was still happy about this matter in his heart, and suddenly at this time, after hearing his eldest daughter say this, in an instant, the smile on his cheeks immediately disappeared, and he became a little displeased.
Hearing his eldest daughter Zhao Huiruo say "not happy", Zhao Zhen, as a father, was naturally unconvinced, and immediately spent a moment of effort on what happened in the vertical arch hall today, and told it concisely.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhen laughed again, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very colatable, and at the same time, he also felt that it seemed a little condescending to let Wang Hao be a small street secretary, if Wang Hao completed the task he assigned this time, he would be promoted at least one level.
However, after Song Renzong Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he was very happy, whether it was Empress Cao sitting on his left, or Miao Guifei sitting on his right, and Zhao Huiruo sitting opposite him, they didn't have any smiles, and the mother and daughter looked at each other together.
Of course, Empress Cao learned that Song Renzong took five court ministers to meet Wang Hao in the Vertical Arch Palace, and Wang Hao's performance was so good, which made him feel that Wang Hao would definitely be reused by the official family in the future, and it was unknown that he would one day enter the prime minister. Concubine Miao's opinion is very similar to that of Empress Cao.
Zhao Huiruo, who was sitting opposite Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, although she felt that this matter was not happy, she was very surprised, in her eyes, Wang Hao, who was promoted by her father to the street division, was a prodigal son.
What made her unbelievable was that her father would summon Wang Hao in the Vertical Arch Hall today, and discuss state affairs with the five ministers, and Wang Hao was so eloquent that even Wang Gongchen, who served as the middle prince of the imperial history, and Jia Changchao, who participated in political affairs, were helpless against him.
Here, in the Funing Palace, Song Renzong, Zhao Zhen, Empress Cao, Miao Guifei and Zhao Huiruo's family of four fell into a disagreement between Coke and Unhappiness when talking about Wang Hao.
Over there, Wang Hao was in the office of the Fu Yin of the Kaifeng Mansion, and Bao Zheng had just finished drafting the text of the notice to be posted in the streets and alleys of Tokyo at noon tomorrow.
Seeing that it was not early, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Hao got up and said goodbye: "Bao Gong, since the content of the notice has been drafted, then the lower official will retire, and Bao Gong will immediately start to do what I have just done, after I return to the Yamen of the Street Division." ”
Bao Zheng, who was still bowing his head to check the content of the notice, raised his head after hearing Wang Hao say goodbye to him, waved his hand, and said: "Okay, Wang Sicheng, you can go, if there are still problems, you and I will be tomorrow." ”
Wang Hao, who was standing in front of the case, first faced Bao Zheng who was sitting in the case, bowed his hands, and then turned to leave.
When Wang Hao walked to the closed office door, he was about to open the door, when suddenly, he heard a "squeak" sound, and the door of the office room was gently pushed open from the outside.
At first, Wang Hao was startled by the door that suddenly opened from the outside, and his face showed a little surprise, and when he saw the person coming in from the door, he looked up and looked at it, and immediately, it made him happy.
"Wang Sicheng, are you leaving?" Bao Qianqian, who pushed the door and walked in, immediately asked softly after seeing Wang Hao.
Wang Hao, who was stunned in place, first arched his hand, and replied busily: "Yes, Miss Qian'er, I have discussed some official matters with your father Bao Gong in this office room today, and I have just finished the discussion, so I am inconvenient to disturb Bao Gong again, and besides, I still have official business, and I must return to the Yamen of the Street Division as soon as possible." ”
After listening to Wang Hao's answer, Bao Qianqian responded softly: "Wang Sicheng, don't be in a hurry to leave, wait a minute, I have something to say to you and my father." ”
Immediately afterwards, Bao Qianqian walked to the front of the case, straightened her slightly bulging chest to Bao Zheng, who was sitting on the chair in the case, and asked loudly: "Daddy, my mother asked me to call you to the backyard for lunch, before I came, my mother also said that she wanted to leave Wang Sicheng to eat together, why did you send Wang Sicheng away, Daddy." If Wang Sicheng is gone, how can I explain to my mother when I go back? ”
The reason why Bao Zheng didn't take the initiative to leave Wang Hao for lunch was because he didn't want his family, especially his daughter, to have too much contact with Wang Hao in private.
Because in Bao Zheng's view, sooner or later Wang Hao will become a minister of the court who is almost the same as him, and when the time comes, Queen Cao will definitely choose a princess in the palace to marry Wang Hao.
Rather than not having a good result in the end, in Bao Zheng's opinion at this time, it is better to break off this idea of his wife Dong as soon as possible.
However, Bao Zheng is also a well-known person who is afraid of the inside, and the Dong family sent their eldest daughter Bao Qianqian at this time to call him to go back to the backyard with Wang Hao for dinner, so naturally he did not dare to be disobedient.
No, Bao Zheng immediately stood up and explained comfortably to his eldest daughter Bao Qianqian, who was standing in front of the case: "Qian'er, where are you talking about." Before you came, Daddy didn't know that your mother was going to leave Wang Sicheng to eat together.
"Just now, Wang Sicheng and I have finished handling official business here, Wang Sicheng said that he wanted to leave, how can I dissuade him. It's good now, you come to the legend of your mother, and then leave Wang Sicheng to eat together. It's just that I don't know if Wang Sicheng is willing to stay, you have to ask, we can't force Wang Sicheng to stay. ”
After listening to her father's explanation, Bao Qianqian immediately turned around, walked up to Wang Hao, and asked, "Wang Sicheng, my mother wants to stay and eat together, are you willing?" ”
I don't know why, before Bao Qianqian didn't break into this office room, Wang Hao was still like an arrow, hoping to leave here as soon as possible, and the sooner the better.
Suddenly asked by Bao Qianqian, Wang Hao seemed to have lead in both legs, and he couldn't walk at all, and he didn't want to leave here so soon, especially the dishes cooked by Dong were very delicious.
What's more, the young girl standing in front of Wang Hao who looks a little quiet and a little barbaric is also very beautiful and delicious.
As a double foodie, Wang Hao thought twice, then put on an embarrassed look and replied: "If Bao Gong, Mrs. Bao, and Miss Qianqian, if you don't dislike it, then I will be gracious and willing to stay and have another lunch in Bao Mansion." ”
After listening to Wang Hao's answer, Bao Zheng, who came out of the case, almost vomited blood in anger, in his opinion, if Wang Hao knew each other a little, he should refuse politely, why did he agree to stay and eat, this Wang Hao, it seems that he will beat him more in the future.
