Pianpin's words sound quite reasonable.

But then again, when the emperor summons his courtiers to speak, it doesn't have to be the secretary himself. There are also bachelors of lectures, bachelors of waiting, and even bachelors of Hanlin Academy. It doesn't matter who it is, just look at who the emperor has in his heart, and that courtier will be valued.

Looking at the official position to clearly distinguish the position, this point is only for the subordinates, to restrict the emperor, does not exist.

After hearing Xu Erlang say this, Pianpian's heart was put down, and Jinniang was also relieved.

To be honest, she was also more pleased with Xu Erlang's promotion, but before, like Pianpian, she was worried that after becoming a waiter, she had served in front of the palace for a short time, and she had lost her previous face and favor.

In this feudal dynasty, the emperor is the supreme authority, who he admires and values, who has a bright future; And if His Majesty snubs or alienates anyone, then it will be more difficult for this person to come out than to ascend to the sky.

In the past few months, she has been used to the days when guests are like clouds and are sought after, and if Xu Erlang suddenly becomes a figure that everyone avoids, although she will not be unaccustomed to it, there will definitely be a gap, but fortunately, she doesn't have to get used to this kind of gap now.

&

Xu Erlang was promoted, Suqian was also promoted, and Li Hehui coaxed the two to have a drink.

The place to eat and drink is temporarily set at Xu's house. Because there has been some commotion in Suqian Mansion recently, the daughter born by the concubine had chickenpox, and the mother and daughter were both half-dead, crying and crying all day long.

Therefore, the party is not in Suqian Mansion, and because Xu Erlang and Suqian have been popular figures in the Hanlin Academy recently, most people are jealous of their promotions and salary increases, and they want to grab their handles and push them down, so it is not appropriate to drink and have fun outside. So after thinking about it, several people set the place in Xufu.

Xu Fuzhong Jinniang got the prompt to hold a small banquet and responded happily.

It's quite boring for her to stay in the house all day, whether someone comes over as a guest, Mrs. Suqian will definitely come with her, and she can still have someone to talk to.

The matter of running the banquet does not need to be handled by Jin Niang, everything is handled by Pianpin. This kind of home-cooked banquet is already very easy to organize, and she may have come to ask Jinniang because of the taboo of the guests, but now she doesn't need it. People such as Li Hehui and Suqian, who are more close to Xufu, know their taboos and preferences in wine and food well. The banquet will only be praised, and it will certainly not be dissatisfied.

Soon it was the day of the banquet, and Li Hehui and Suqian both came to the door early.

The two of them had already agreed on the time, and they arrived at Willow Hutong almost at the same time. Later, the two were introduced by Xu Erlang, and went to Heyantang to visit Xu's father and Xu's mother.

The elders are at home, and it is appropriate for guests to come and visit the host. Besides, Xu's father and Xu's mother came from Pingyang, so they should have come to visit them a long time ago. If Xu Erlang hadn't kept saying that there would be a special banquet at home later, it would have been too late that day, and they would have come to the door a long time ago. After that, due to various reasons, the banquet was repeatedly postponed, and the itinerary of their visit has been postponed until today.

Mother Xu was also excited to see Xu Erlang's two best friends. Even Xu's mother, who has always paid no attention to dressing up outside, deliberately got up early today and put on expensive and gorgeous clothes, trying not to embarrass Xu Erlang. And her attitude towards the two of them is also kind and cordial, really polite and thoughtful.

Xu Erlang has a cold temperament, and he doesn't make many friends, and there are only three or two people in the entire Pingyang Town several times. The three or two of them also had fewer contacts because Xu Erlang focused on reading and was less communicative. Later, although Xu Erlang and Zheng Shunming became friends, they were only general friends at first, and the relationship became close when they went to Shuozhou Qiuqiu together. After that, Xu Erlang went to Beijing again, and he studied behind closed doors, and Zheng Shunming rarely came home.

So several times in the half of Xu's mother's life, it is really rare to entertain her son's friends. Moreover, the two people in front of them are officials in the same dynasty as Erlang, they are her friends and his colleagues, they have official positions and valuable status, which makes Xu Mu unkind to them.

After some politeness between you and me, Xu Erlang led the two of them to meet Xu's father again.

Xu's father's condition is similar to before, he needs to recuperate from this illness, and he needs to rest calmly. But is Father Xu a person who can endure rest? Apparently not.

He has been outside all the year round, and his life is lively and prosperous. Now he is locked up in this house that does not see the light of day, and he can't even be pushed out because of the cold weather outside.

For such a long time, the places where he moved were limited to the inner room, one can imagine how irritable Father Xu would be.

He was like a trapped beast, always unable to suppress his anger. The medicine that was sent was also delicious, and I didn't eat it anyway. He was depressed again, and it would be hellish if his condition got better in this situation.

Father Xu's mouth is crooked, his eyes are slanted, and his appearance is flawed, if this appearance is seen by the juniors, it will damage his image and majesty - although since he was thrown out of the door by the people of Yicui Pavilion, his image is no different from that of a prodigal child, and majesty is something that has never been there, but the dignity that should be given to him still has to be given. So Li Hehui and Suqian saluted Xu's father through the screen, and exchanged a few words after Xu Erlang's "message", and left later.

The footsteps of several people went farther and farther, and Father Xu was visibly irritable again.

He hesitated, and motioned to Wang Kui with his eyes to say something he wanted to know.

Wang Kui has been serving by Xu's father since he was a child, and he knows his thoughts clearly. It is not wrong to say that he is a roundworm in Xu's father's stomach, he knows Xu's father better than anyone else.

But because he was too clear and knew Xu's father's thoughts too well, Wang Kui was not easy to speak.

His eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at Father Xu, so Father Xu was annoyed, and he picked up the two walnuts next to the pillow and smashed them on his head.

Wang Kui jumped on the spot in pain.

He muttered in his heart, this half of the master's body is paralyzed, but the other half of his body is as flexible as ever. Look at the one who is high, and say that the walnut will not be thrown on his arm if he hits the head.

Wang Kui covered his head and stumbled to tell Father Xu what he wanted to know, "The two adults brought a lot of gifts, but the slaves didn't know what they brought." No, those things were sent to the old lady, and the slave couldn't even see it. ”

It means to remind Father Xu that don't worry about what you can't worry about. The old lady treats you as an enemy, if it weren't for the fact that your death would have a greater impact on the two sons, otherwise, if you continue to mess around like this, will the old lady be angry and directly chop you with a knife.

In the days when you were recuperating, the old lady took away everything that could be scraped in the room, and even the twin sisters were called by the old lady to serve the flowers and plants. That's all in this field, and you still expect the old lady to put something into the old lady's pocket, and she will take it out to you?

Stop daydreaming! That's absolutely impossible!!

Father Xu grinded his teeth angrily when he heard this, and slammed his fist on the bed board, "That wicked woman, that wicked woman, I want to divorce my wife!" ”

You've shouted this a hundred and eighty times, but does it work? It's useless! So let's save some effort, sir, if you continue to make such a fuss, you will be the only one who suffers.

Don't say how Xu's father is here, just say that Xu Erlang led Li Hehui and Su Qian to the flower hall. During this period, the three of them couldn't help but talk about Xu's father's condition, and Li Hehui said, "If necessary, I can ask the imperial doctor in the palace to come out and treat my uncle." ”

"Not really." Xu Erlang said, "Now I am inviting the descendants of the Zhu family, and the ancestor of that family is also the imperial doctor in the palace, and his medical skills are good." My father's illness was personally taken over by the old man over there, and I still believed in his old man's medical skills. ”

Li Hehui also knew about the former imperial physician Zhu family, so he nodded, "If it is the descendant of that family, it will not be bad." It's just that each doctor specializes differently, Brother Shiheng asked Dr. Zhu to treat his uncle, if it doesn't get better after a long time, tell me, and I will ask the imperial doctor from the palace again. ”

"Okay, I'm going to bother you then."

After the three of them finished talking about Xu's father, the topic turned to other things, and they unconsciously talked about equations. Su Qian sneered, "He has a brain, and he knows that if he directly stabs the matter to the master of the academy, he can't eat and walk around, so he will instead inform the imperial history of your matter." But what's the use? Yushi has exerted his strength, and he can't bear that His Majesty has a little more care and sympathy for you. Not to mention derogatory reprimands for you, but to give you a lot of rewards and comfort. Now it's okay, the equation's eyes are red. ”

The dirty things behind the equation can be hidden from others, but they can't be hidden from Suqian and Xu Erlang. Both of them knew that although this person was not a villain, sometimes he couldn't even compare to a villain, and they always guarded him in private. Even Xu Erlang sent someone to keep an eye on his movements. The equation is honest, don't do it, otherwise he won't feel good if he catches one accurately.

No, Xu Erlang turned his head and revealed the news behind the equation that hurt him.

There are people in the Hanlin Academy who don't like Xu Erlang, and naturally there are people who don't like the equations. The equation is arrogant, small-minded, and usually speaks in a weird manner, and I don't know how many people I have offended.

As soon as the news from Xu Erlang's side leaked, it took a long time for someone to inadvertently leak the news to the head of the Hanlin Academy.

The master of the academy did not rub sand in his eyes, and someone from the Hanlin Academy had told Xu Erlang in private earlier, and he reprimanded him. I thought it was an example to kill chickens and monkeys, and the officials in Hanlin Yuan didn't dare to do such a yin thing anymore. Private measurement, but it turns out that there are still many people with such shady minds and dirty methods.

The master of the academy was furious, and the equation naturally couldn't eat and walked around. I heard that the Master of the Academy had informed His Majesty of this, and His Majesty's fate would come shortly. This time, if he is not demoted and dismissed, he will also have to be punished, in short, he will not be able to fall well.

After that, the equation was really demoted, from an official of the sixth grade, to a doctor of the Five Classics of the eighth grade. Dropped several levels at once, this punishment is heavy enough.

And the Doctor of the Five Classics, Zheng Bapin, is worthy of the name of the lowest official of the Hanlin Academy. This is also more advanced than those miscellaneous children in the Hanlin Academy, and belongs to all the officials who can command them. At this point, the equation can stand the ghost.

He was arrogant, and he couldn't stand being snatched away by Xu Erlang for the title of champion, and he couldn't bear Xu Erlang pressing him in terms of official rank...... And now, Xu Erlang has pressed him a lot, he has just pressed several heads. And he, who originally had a bright future, was suddenly demoted, this is not the most frightening, the most desperate thing is that after this incident, he was labeled as a "villain" by the head of the Hanlin Academy and His Majesty, so is there a future in the future?

There is no future! In other words, the equation is over!

The consequences of the equation are not mentioned, but when a few people were walking towards the flower hall, they saw Xiao Yu'er coming over with a fluttering hand, and happened to meet with the three of them.

The verdant trees covered the figures of Xu Erlang and the others, and Pian Pian and Xiao Yu'er didn't notice a few people at first. Xiao Yu'er was milky and coquettish, "Little aunt accompany me, bring the little general over, let Brother Rong take a look." He was babbling happily when he saw his sister's cats, and he must have been even happier when he saw the little general. Oh, did my little aunt accompany me, they all came here, there is a reason to go back? My little aunt is obedient, I'll get candy for my little aunt when I go back. ”

The milky voice is already soft-hearted, and the little girl is a big ghost, not to mention how funny she is, so several people here can't help laughing.

Xiao Yu'er was suddenly teased, first startled, and then heard her father's voice in it, and happily let go of her hand, and slipped out from under the flowers and trees.

Pian Pian stretched out her hand and didn't hold it, she couldn't help but stomp her foot in annoyance, and hurriedly went around the flowers and trees to chase her.

Xiao Yu'er had already run to Xu Erlang, holding his calf and shouting crisply, "Daddy." ”

Xu Erlang picked up the person with a smile in his eyes, picked out the leaves on her head and threw them away, and then said to her, "I've seen your two uncles." ”

Xiao Yu'er turned her head to look at Suqian and Li Hehui, she had seen both of them, and more than once, Xiao Yu'er didn't recognize her life, so she called people sweetly.

The little girl was born well, white and delicate, with black eyebrows and bright eyes, especially when looking at people, which makes people uncontrollable soft-hearted. And the sugar content in her words is very high, and she shouts softly like she is coquettish, who can bear this?

Not only did Suqian not hold back and reach out to hug her, but even Li Hehui took it and teased her.

The two of them were undoubtedly confused by Xiao Yu'er's sweet and delicate appearance, thinking that this was some kind of little angel. Only Pian Pian knows that where is this little angel, she is clearly a little devil, a little girl who specializes in restraining her.

How busy she is today, she has to keep an eye on the people in the kitchen to prepare a banquet for her second brother, and at the end of the month, she has to reconcile the accounts. She is busy and flawless, but this little demon star came to her on a whim to "play", does she have that time?

She didn't follow this girl and pretended to cry, crying pitifully, her eyes and nose were all red. Pian Pian knew that she was pretending, and she couldn't help but feel distressed, so she was dragged to the front yard, ready to take Xiao Yu'er to the courtyard of Changping, Chang'an, to lead the little general.

This back and forth may delay her for a long time, although Pian Pian compromised, but the mood is still not beautiful.
