"To the palace?" Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that my father was seconded to the Ministry of Officials, and it is still related to the palace?" ”

Chu Cailiang smiled and didn't say anything, only brushing his beard.

At the beginning, he didn't know what was going on, the Ministry of Officials needed to employ people, and where to transfer people, how could such a good thing fall on his head, you know, even if he is also a member of the Wupin, serving in the Ministry of Industry and serving in the Ministry of Officials, it is also different.

Who would have thought that before going down yesterday, a colleague smiled and took the initiative to get close to him, and invited him to eat and drink together, and he was quite envious between words.

"I didn't expect that the third lady in Lord Chu's mansion was actually a little medicine fairy."

"Brother Chu is really blessed to be able to do a family affair with the Gongding Palace."

……

After hearing too many words like this, how could Chu Cailiang not understand the reason why he was seconded to the ministry?

In the final analysis, it is all about the face of the palace of Gongding.

"Ask so much what to do, and tomorrow you will go with your father." Chu Cailiang didn't want to explain these things to his family, so he only gave strong orders.

Aunt Wang's beautiful eyes turned, her little white and greasy hand lifted the wine jug, and poured a glass of wine for Chu Cailiang with a smile.

"Master, our family also owes you to be so smooth sailing, the young masters and young ladies in the family, and thanks to the hard work of the master, we can live a good life, and the concubine respects you."

As he spoke, he held the wine glass with affection, and his red lips left a light red lip mark on the edge of the white porcelain glass.

Chu Cailiang seemed to have eaten sour plum soup in the summer, ironing from the inside out, laughing and touching the wine glass with Aunt Wang.

Aunt Sun and Aunt Su were not to be left behind, and they all got up to toast, and Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang naturally followed.

Chu Cai's conscience was full of joy and he ate several cups in a row.

The old lady and Chu Caijun glanced at each other, and they both came to their senses. Chu Caijun suppressed the sourness in his heart and hurriedly pulled Zhou up to congratulate.

Aunt Wang observed her words and looks, and saw that Chu Cailiang was happy, and said with a soft smile: "According to the concubine, it is a great blessing to go to the palace with the master this time. The third lady is the future princess, and she often goes in and out of the palace on weekdays to see the illness of the prince, and this time it is second to go or not, so the lord might as well take this opportunity to let the other young masters and young ladies in the family see the world. ”

"Yes, father," Chu Mengying smiled and coquettishly with Chu Cailiang, "The third sister usually goes to see the illness of the prince, and it is not new to go to the palace or not." There are several young ladies in the palace, and at the last gathering, my daughter chatted with the fourth lady of the palace very much, and it would be nice if I could have the opportunity to make friends. ”

Chu Yunjiao and Chu Peishan both pouted secretly, saying that whatever they said about falling in love was just an excuse, and they didn't see Xiao Zilan take care of Chu Mengying that day.

But Chu Cailiang didn't know, he looked at the well-behaved and sweet Chu Mengying, and then at Chu Huazhang, who was a talent, and his heart suddenly brightened.

Now his other children are still unmarried. There are also several sons and young ladies in the palace, if this can be done, or if you can meet other nobles in the palace......

"Okay." Chu Cailiang waved his hand: "Ming'er Mengying and Brother Zhang will go together." ”

Chu Yunjiao was a little anxious: "Father, daughter is also ......"

"It's not good to bring too many people, you still have a chance next time." Chu Cailiang made a decision.

Chu Yunjiao was about to speak, but she was pulled by Aunt Sun and shook her head at her secretly.

Chu Cailiang proudly ate several glasses of wine, looking like he was about to succeed with Zhizhu in his hand.

Chu Junlan looked funny, Chu Cailiang was seconded to the ministry, even if Shangfeng considered that Chu Cailiang was the in-law of King Gongding, in the end, it was impossible for King Gongding to give people the advice to promote Chu Cailiang.

It's self-inflicted to work so hard and move the crowd, right?

When the feast was dismissed, everyone went their separate ways.

Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang followed behind Aunt Wang, talking and laughing.

Aunt Sun took Chu Yunjiao and Chu Huayun to walk a few steps away, listening to the smug laughter of the lady, Chu Yun squeamishly kicked the small pebble on the side of the road and rolled it into the small ditch.

After a good night's sleep and getting up the next day, Chu Junlan had breakfast and took medicine, so he took Zi Yan and walked to the front yard.

The servants had prepared two blue cloth mule carts, and the mules were munching on their heads with sacks full of hay on their mouths.

Chu Junlan walked up, but saw Chu Mengying wearing a new pink collared gown, wearing a lifelike butterfly hairpin on her head, and inserting a new palace flower, with exquisite makeup and very decent dress.

And Chu Huazhang, who was supposed to come out with Chu Mengying, was replaced by the fifth lady Chu Yunjiao.

Chu Yunjiao wore a red dress, which looked like a peony flower.

"Shouldn't the fourth brother go with him?" Chu Junlan asked this casually, and took Zi Yan to get on the mule cart for fear.

Chu Mengying glared at Chu Yunjiao secretly, "The fourth brother fell into the big water tank used for water storage last night, and he won't be comfortable when he gets up this morning. ”

Chu Yunjiao sighed: "Yes, I originally wanted to make a pair of shoes for my father today, but I heard that the second sister had no one to accompany me, so I had to reluctantly follow." ”

Chu Junlan smiled and tossed with them.

When the two mule carts came to the gate of the palace of Gongding, they were stopped by a long queue in front of them.

Chu Cailiang lifted the dark blue curtain and asked Liang Hui, the chief outside: "You go to the sentry to spy on the sentry, why are there so many people in front of the palace today, don't we know about any big things." ”

"Yes." Liang Hui responded and immediately ran over quickly.

Chu Cailiang also took the lead in getting off the mule cart.

Chu Junlan looked at the people in line curiously, everyone had an entourage with a gift in their hands, and there were really a lot of carriages and mule carts parked on the street corner.

Chu Cailiang even saw at a glance that there were still a few peaks in the crowd when he was in the Ministry of Industry before!

It's strange, why are these people here too?

Chu Cailiang took two steps forward with a smile, and was just about to speak, when those Shangfeng people actually turned their faces away.

Chu Cailiang's smile froze on his face.

Thinking about it, he was suddenly transferred out of the Ministry of Industry and went to the more powerful Ministry of Officials, which really criminalized these people.

Chu Mengying and Chu Yunjiao were a little embarrassed when they saw this.

But after a while, Liang Hui ran back quickly, and said in a low voice: "I inquired, I heard that King Gongding returned to Beijing last night, and these people all heard the news and came to see the prince, and they are queuing up at this time." ”

Chu Junlan was surprised, and blamed Xiao Xu for not showing up for the past two days, it turned out that his father, who had been away from home for many years, had returned.

Chu Cailiang was excited, "It turns out that King Gongding has returned to Beijing?" It's really better to come early than to come by chance, it's my in-laws, and I should also meet you. ”

Ignoring that Shangfeng was still queuing up before, Chu Cailiang crossed the crowd, and without pretending to be others, he directly took his three daughters to knock on the door.

Chu Junlan stood at the end, keenly aware that everyone's reactions were a little abnormal, and everyone looked at Chu Cailiang's eyes as if they were looking at a fool.

Chu Cailiang didn't know it, and he was still knocking on the door.

"Who knows, do you know the rules!" The small door on one side of the gate was pushed open with a "creak", and the doorman arrived before the sound came, and it was a reprimand to split his head and cover his face.

"Those who want to see the prince are going to line up to know it! The prince has always had rules for hospitality, and if you don't see it, you can say it again, who dares to knock rashly on the door to disturb the prince's tranquility! ”
