Mrs. Wang asked patiently: "I heard that the third master of the newly built Hou Mansion was promoted, do you want to prepare a gift!" ”

Of course, Wang Longjiu, the person of Lee Myung-hyuk, knows that Wang Yongjiu is now in the cabinet, and the holy decree of promotion was written by the cabinet people.

But he doesn't like Li Minghe, all the civil officials of this dynasty come from the imperial examination, and the jinshi is the lowest level, and the six departments and nine qings need two lists of jinshi to not be excluded, the earlier they become famous, the better they learn, and they can be respected.

Promotion is also based on seniority, and attaches great importance to learning.

Lee Myung-hyuk is also a two-list jinshi, and he became famous earlier, but unfortunately he is too decadent because of family affairs, this time he is obviously speculative, it is difficult for the civil official group to accept this kind of person who has no actual contribution, Wang Longjiu has entered the cabinet, he still wants to be the first assistant, Lee Myung-hyuk is a competitor, he doesn't like it even more.

In many ways, he should suppress this person, how could he give gifts.

"You're full, a woman, take care of men's business? Take care of the affairs of the imperial court?! Wang Longjiu saw that Mrs. Wang cared more about other people's men, and criticized Mrs. Wang angrily: "How do you know about these court men?!" ”

Mrs. Wang was often scolded, and it was already not as painful as before, but she still said with a good temper: "Master Li San is Miss Li's father, Miss Li saved the life of the adult's cousin, and the adult doesn't seem to have thanked Miss Li well." ”

"It's not like I didn't pay for the consultation!" Wang Longjiu criticized his wife as much as he could: "I hate women like you, doctors treat the sick and save people, save the dead and help the wounded, this is a matter of course, I give a consultation fee, it is also a matter of course, the two sides do not owe each other, why do you seem to owe her a lot of favors?!" ”

Suddenly, he said: "I almost forgot, it is said that this third master Li has the beauty of Saipan'an, and he was the best in Jinghua back then, could it be that this is your good look." ”

When Mrs. Wang married Wang Longjiu, Li Minghe was not from the capital at all, and he had not yet been promoted.

How could she have known Lee Myung-hyuk at that time?!

No matter how good Mrs. Wang's temper is, she is also ridiculed like a knife, but her face still maintains a noble and uncaring appearance, and she is slightly blessed: "Don't disturb your lord." ”

She turned around and left, refusing to distinguish between high and cold and arrogant, Wang Longjiu hit the cotton with a fist.

People ignored him at all, he was so angry that he stood up and shouted: "If you have the ability, don't go, I think there is something wrong, otherwise why don't you dare to make it clear?!" ”

It wasn't until he was sure that Mrs. Wang had gone far away and couldn't hear it anymore that Wang Longjiu sat back in his chair angrily.

After Mrs. Wang went back, she called her close subordinates to come to her: "Prepare a thick gift tomorrow, go and send it to the third master of Li San, if anyone asks, just say that it is Miss Li's connections, and you must give the young lady a long face, don't let people think that the young lady and the third master are dependent on others." ”

The subordinate was given the order to go down.

The old lady came to wait for Mrs. Wang to rest, and asked, "Your Excellency knows that you will be angry, right?!" ”

Mrs. Wang's face was expectant and yearning: "I can't control him so much, do you know, that little girl was very surprised when she saw me, but say a few words, she has no barriers, this must be the nature of mother and daughter, she is lively and cute, always witty, stay with her for a while, you will not have any troubles, what a good child." ”

"Madame has already determined that she is Miss?!"

"Sure, when the person who inquired about the news comes back, I will go and claim the little girl back."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang choked up a little: "I heard that life is very hard, if it weren't for Miss Li's biological mother to pick it up, my child doesn't know where he has gone, and now he is also a maid for others, but Miss treats her well, doesn't treat her as a maid, and is afraid that she will starve when she sits at the table, so she has to tell the master to take care of her, so Miss Li's mother and daughter have kindness to our mother and daughter, her father is such a big thing, I don't care if Wang Longjiu is angry or not, I have to support Miss Li, but also for my child." ”

The old lady was also very happy.

"When the young lady comes back, let the adults see the appearance of the young lady, it looks exactly like the adults, and then the adults will be able to sympathize with the lady."

Mrs. Wang has suffered a lot of grievances that she should not bear because of her children's affairs over the years, and if her daughter really recognizes it, she doesn't know if she will forgive Wang Longjiu.

……

……

On the twelfth day of the first month, the sun that did not leave the winter was not beautiful, the northwest wind stopped, as if spring had come in advance, and the people of the newly built Hou Mansion got up early to be busy.

Because Li Minglang invited his friend over today, there are not many people, but he can sit down at six tables.

The housekeeper of the big house is called Qian Wu, and he opened the door with the nursing home very early, waiting to welcome the guests.

At three o'clock, the first wave of guests came to the door, they were colleagues of the newly built Hou Zhongjun Governor's Mansion, a group of hereditary military generals, these people Li Minglang didn't want to invite, the military attache had no status, these people couldn't help Li Minghe, and they might ask Li Minghe's head.

But it doesn't matter, you can make them filial, and Li Minglang is not really trying to help Li Minghyuk.

The second wave of people is Li Minglang's friends, these are the children of civil officials, Xinjian Marquis is also the title inherited by civil officials, there are many people in these people's families who are officials in the six ministries and nine qing, and they all dislike Li Minglang's civil transfer to martial arts before, and they are not promising.

The third wave of people is the most powerful, is some of the connections left by the old Xinjian Hou, there are many disciples of the old Xinjian Hou, such as Shen Tianlan is rushing to climb with him, and now the officials are all supporters of the old marquis, today the Shangshu did not come in person, but the gifts were sent to the family.

In short, one wave is Li Minglang's guest, and another wave is another, obviously Li Minghyuk was promoted, but the guests are all for Li Minglang's face.

The little guy kept reporting the situation outside to Li Minglang's location.

Li Minglang was talking in Wu's room at this time, Wu was talking about Li Yunyun, and after listening to these guest lists, Wu couldn't help but cast a complicated look at Li Minglang.

The reason why it is complicated is because she admires her man who is so good at management, but the resentment in her heart cannot be eliminated, this man has not avenged his daughter so far, and he still thinks about the little goblin, her man, all of whom can treat her wholeheartedly.

"Master Hou, you are demonstrating to the third child like this, all your people are here, but you want to congratulate him on his promotion, whether it is you or he is promoted, he is finally an official, will he feel comfortable?!" Wu couldn't say good words, and he didn't want to say bad things, so he reminded Li Minglang a little.

Li Minglang proudly crossed Erlang's legs and drank tea: "I just want him to know that even if he becomes a first-class member, in this family, he is only the third, I am the boss, the new Hou Mansion, there is only one Hou Ye, no matter how good he is, he can only contribute to the new Hou Mansion." ”

Wu Shi hurriedly said: "Then you can also be tactful, your son reads, and it depends on their readers." ”

Li Minglang is not good at reading.

"I see!" Li Minglang knew that this was the case, and he would not hate to hit his younger brother, but he didn't want to listen to others' reminders.

He put down the tea bowl and said, "It's almost time, I have to go over to receive guests, you have nothing to entertain the ladies and relatives, they are all waiting for you." ”
