"Oh, the name of an innocent woman, this matter is a little interesting, could it be that the woman you are talking about belongs to the Lu family?" Jiajing's expression moved slightly: "Tell me carefully." ”

Wu Jie was greatly embarrassed, and it was really embarrassing to say this. After returning home, he thought about it and regretted it in his heart.

Since the emperor asked, he naturally had to say that it was not easy to hide. I had to say from the time the list was issued, and later when Xie Shi was deliberating, he was proposed by the two masters of the Lu family to Jiajing from beginning to end.

Of course, the relationship between Miss Tang and herself cannot be said.

"Haha, I see." Jiajing's dead face immediately came to life: "This matter is a bit interesting, right...... Wu Aiqing, you really don't have a personal relationship with Lu Bing's granddaughter. ”

Wu Jie saw the anticipation on the emperor's face, as if he really had something to do with Miss Lu San, so he was happy to hear it.

It seems that this Jiajing is really gossip.

Wu Jie coughed, his old face was slightly red: "I really don't have any personal feelings, Wu Jie is very wronged." I said that it was also a momentary atmosphere, so I didn't break my words, and I actually offended the Lu family. Looking back now, I am still a little afraid. ”

"What are you afraid of, it's a really talented man." Jiajing didn't think so: "Your book of "Stone Records" is so wonderfully written, maybe Miss Lu will read it and secretly promise you." ”

This is no longer what a gentleman should say, Jiajing probably also realized this, the corners of his mouth curled, waved his sleeves, and rolled up a snowflake: "Actually, everyone in Lu Bing's family is born with good looks, and his granddaughter must also be a beauty." Whether it is the Lu family's family background, you and Lu Bing are the closest people to me, and if you get married, it will also be a beautiful thing. If Wu Aiqing has this thought, after a few feasts, I will ask Li Chunfang to help you be this matchmaker. ”

Li Chunfang is now the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, this person is a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, and he is in the same department as Zhang Juzheng. He did Hanlin editing, and later became the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, because he wrote good words, he was favored by Jiajing. Now he has just been promoted as the right waiter, and he often works with Zhang Juzheng as a banquet speaker.

If nothing else, after a few years in the position of the right squire, it is time to enter the cabinet if you have enough qualifications.

Speaking of which, this person's career path is exactly the same as Wu Jie's, but Wu Jie still lacks a Jinshi fame. Of course, according to what Wu Jie knew in Xiyuan in the first paragraph, this senior's articles and poems were much worse than his own, only his surname was kind, and he was silent, and he was a character that anyone could accept. In front of the emperor, he couldn't let out a fart for most of the day. The degree of intimacy with the emperor is naturally greater than that of many Wu festivals.

However, this person can also be regarded as the emperor's hand-picked, and he is a talent reserved for King Yu's accession to the throne in the future.

After listening to Jiajing's words, Wu Jie was shocked: "Daojun, no." ”

Jiajing turned his head and looked at Wu Jie with interest: "What, is Miss Lu San ugly?" ”

Wu Jie: "It's not bad, it's a beauty." ”

"That's not the end, since she's not ugly. The Lu family is so powerful, if you marry a woman from his family, won't you have a great future? There was a hint of sarcasm in the emperor's tone: "This is a blessing that others can't ask for, for example, the younger brother of the prefect of Lin in Chengdu, isn't it because he wants to marry Miss Lu that he has become a court official of the sixth grade with a meritorious name?" ”

Wu Jie heard the unkindness in his words, and put aside the fact that he had a marriage contract with Miss Tang. Now that the Lu family is already going downhill, it will destroy its future if it is involved with them again.

Taking a breath of dry and cold air, Wu Jie said: "Daojun, Wu Jie wants to be an official, so that he can do something practical for the Son of Heaven and the people of the world." But even if you have this idea, you must be born on the right path and pass the examination in the imperial examination according to your true ability. Take a shortcut, a gentleman doesn't do it. Besides, the appointment of imperial officials has its own system, and Wu Jie does not dare to corrupt it. ”

"That's right, the appointment of officials is an important weapon of the state, how can they be privately granted." Jiajing's tone carried a hint of serenity.

Wu Jie didn't want to dwell on this topic, the emperor was dissatisfied with the Lu family, and it was clear that if he objected, he was afraid that he would make the emperor unhappy. But if you echo it, you have received the favor of the Lu family, and if you spread it, you will be despised by others.

just smiled, deliberately diverted the topic to the side, and pretended to be angry: "Daojun, that Miss Lu San is weird and vicious, whoever marries her will inevitably be depressed, and Wu Jie wants to live for a few more years!" Besides, this little girl likes to watch idlers, and the reason why the minister wrote this "Stone Record" was also forced by her. A while ago, in order to urge the draft, the ministers were about to be driven crazy by her. Do you know how the people of the Lu family call her, they all call her the female devil, she can't be provoked, and she can't hide! ”

"It turns out that the book "The Story of Stones" came from because of this."

After asking about the situation, Jiajing was angry and funny: "This is a Spring Palace for a masterpiece, and it can be regarded as a good story." However, if you talk about urging drafts, it's also because you write really well. At the beginning, Ben Daojun couldn't wait, so Huang Jin directly caught you in the West Garden...... In other words, Lu Bing's granddaughter really can't be married, so Ben Daojun won't be embarrassed by Wu Qing. Wu Jie was overjoyed and secretly wiped a cold sweat: "Thank you Daojun, thank you Daojun." ”

"Seeing that you are relieved, Ben Daojun regrets it a little. I knew that I ordered you to marry her, so that you could suffer hardships, and it was also a great pleasure to see how a talented man like a tiger looked like a tiger. Jiajing burst into laughter: "'A while ago', there was an imperial envoy who impeached Qi Jiguang, saying that his surname was cowardly, and he was often scolded by his wife, and he had no body like a general of the imperial court.

If Aiqing is also impeached by the imperial envoy like this, I don't know what kind of excerpt to defend yourself. Haha, it's funny when I think about it. ”

Speaking of this, Jiajing paused and suddenly asked, "Wu Jie, you have also been in contact with Miss Na Lu a few times, have you exchanged letters...... Have you held hands? ”

Wu Jie couldn't help touching his nose and smiled bitterly. Holding hands, the lights were turned off.

Seeing the emperor and Wu Jie talking and laughing in front, Chen Hong, who was far behind, was shocked and envious in his heart. The emperor was talking to his close ministers, and it was naturally inconvenient for him, a minion, to come to listen to him, and he didn't know what they were talking about.

However, seeing the emperor smiling so happily is definitely not a public matter, but a parent's shortcoming.

However, Chen Hong knew that this Long Live Lord had always been a harsh and mean person, and he didn't have a good face for anyone. The same person talking and laughing like this has not been seen in many years. Looking back, it seems that I lived like this when I was with Lu Bing.

From this point of view, the status of this Wu Festival in the emperor's mind is already equivalent to that of Duke Lu.

"What are my lords and old fairies talking about, they look very happy?" Moth asked.

Chen Hong smiled rarely: "Small talk, Zhenjun is finally so happy, let's not bother, and walk slowly behind." ”

Moth glanced at him, and stacked his feet: "It's too cold, Uncle Chen, you are a man of few words, and it is very boring to chat with you." ”

Chen Hong talked to her for a long time, and suddenly he liked this little girl who was a little vicious, and her stiff face was full of smiles: "You don't like me, our family wants to talk to you, what's the matter, I'm impatient?" ”

"How is it possible, in fact, you look fierce and have a good heart." Moth raised the bronze hand stove in his hand: "If you hadn't given me the stove just now, I really couldn't stand the cold." Uncle Chen, thank you. ”

"Cough, you shouted Uncle Chen so much, let's be your uncle."

"That's a good relationship, I finally have a mother's family, if I am bullied by my lord in the future, Uncle Chen, you have to make the decision for me!" Moth was also very happy: "It's the New Year soon, where do you live, it won't be here to see you." When the time comes, I will come to pay you a New Year's greeting to Uncle Chen. ”

"How can I live in the Taoist temple, although I wear a Taoist robe, I am not a Taoist priest." Chen Hong thought about it and reported his address in the courtyard outside the palace. But there was a sudden expectation in his heart, he had no relatives and no reason in this world, although countless godsons came to kowtow every year during the New Year, but would those people be sincere?

But this little girl is honest to my old man, hey, she is old, but her heart is soft.

In fact, Chen Hong is only in his forties this year. The ancients aged quickly, especially the eunuchs, and their mentality was more vicissitudes than that of the seventy-year-old people of later generations.

He suddenly remembered that when he was eight years old, he was sold into the palace because of a disaster in his family. In the past few decades, it can be said that I have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, what is home, what is family affection, I really don't know.

Chen Hong was a little sad: "Moth, who dares to bully you in the future, tell your uncle, our family will definitely make him look good." ”

"Thank you, no one dares to bully me." Moth said with a smile.

"Didn't your family be bullied by the Lu family just now?"

"Forget it, the Lu family is powerful."

"Not afraid." Chen Hong said lightly.

The two of them spoke, but their steps were a little slower.

In the blink of an eye, Jiajing and Wu Jie were talking and laughing, and then walked into the locust forest next to them.

Chen Hong's eyes were sharp, and he saw Jiajing reaching out to help Wu Jie, who was holding a cane, and said something with a smile.

As the head of the security guard responsible for the emperor's personal safety, Chen Hong was shocked and said in a low voice: "Why did these two masters go into the woods, let's hurry up and follow." ”

"Indeed, the master is really uneasy, there is no road in the woods, and his legs and feet are inconvenient, what if he falls?" The moth was also angry.

The two hurriedly chased after them.

But at this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the official road ahead.

Chen Hong was shocked, and when he looked around, he saw about a dozen fast horses rushing over like crazy. The knights on the saddle were all dressed in civilian clothes, but they all carried an embroidered spring knife on their waists, and their bodies were fierce, with an unbridled and domineering appearance.

Chen Hong couldn't mobilize manpower, and it was too late at this time.

He ran a few steps forward and stood on the side of the road.

Moth: "Uncle Huang, what are you running?" Curious, I followed.

It was too late, but it was too fast, and the dozen or so horsemen had already rushed in front of the two, and the slush stirred up by the horses' hooves was overwhelming.

"This girl is Wu Jie's personal maid!" Someone shouted.

"Phew!" In the midst of the heavy drinking, more than a dozen horsemen pulled the halting horses at the same time, and then jumped on the ground one after another, surrounding Mozi and Chen Hong in the heart.
