It's good to be promoted, but it's not too good to be promoted too quickly.

Although Zhao Jing is the champion, the two of the three tripods are still working as minor officials of the seventh rank in the Hanlin Academy.

However, Zhao Jing left the two of them far behind, and they were promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth grade, and they were promoted two levels in just a few months, which had never happened during the reign of the emperor of the current dynasty.

Some people are envious, some people stutter, but more often they are jealous and red-eyed.

Qin Yuru of Songtao Yuan was uncomfortable at first, and since she heard the news of Zhao Jing's promotion, the whole person has been in a state of extreme depression.

paced around the room several times, gritting his teeth: "What a Zhao Jing, sure enough, is that person's species, inherited that person's ability, and he will be superior wherever he goes!" ”

As she spoke, she almost gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, but now that her most proud son was not by her side, she was full of resentment and had nowhere to say, so she could only forcibly swallow the secret plan!

There are unhappy, naturally there are happy, this is the old lady Zhao, he called Zhao Jing over when he was in charge of the lamp, and was very satisfied with the smoothness of his career, brushed his gray beard and nodded again and again, praised him and told him:

"Today's saint is a rare saint, and you will be able to achieve a career with the emperor, not to mention the eternal, at least you can leave a name in history!"

Zhao Jing disagreed, the old lady Zhao was a full literati, and he had lived under the influence of loyalty and patriotism all his life, so some ideas have been deeply rooted.

But Zhao Jing is different, he has studied the subset of classics and history, and the four books and five classics are also deeply imprinted in his mind, but he has had a tragic fate since he was a child, and he has not completely taken these things to heart.

Therefore, when looking at the same matter, Old Lady Zhao will first think about whether this matter is beneficial to the country, but Zhao Jing will first consider his own position.

It's just that he has always been used to hiding his thoughts in front of Old Lady Zhao, so he didn't let him see it.

The old lady always thought that his eldest grandson was following the route he set, and he liked him a little more, and even almost washed away the shadow caused by Qi Yunshu's miscarriage a few days ago.

After the old lady praised it, he got down to business: "I heard that your daughter-in-law's brother came here today, and he was selected to enter the Hanlin Academy through the museum?" ”

"That's right, the eldest brother came today, one is to say good news for his grandson, and the other is also to report the good news!"

"Oh, your daughter-in-law was unwell a few days ago, and she didn't come before?" Old lady Zhao was expressionless and couldn't see his emotions, but he had some opinions about Qi Yancai's brother in his heart, and his own sister had a miscarriage and never came to see it, this family affection was too bland!

Zhao Jing's eyes drooped, and he said secretly: The fact that his wife is pregnant is fake, and they haven't even mentioned it to Qi Yan at all, so why would he know? Not to mention the miscarriage, so it's natural that I didn't come! But these things can't be known to the old lady, so he has to admit it: "He just passed the pavilion selection a few days ago, and the lady means not to disturb their good, so as not to worry them!" ”

"It's good!" Old lady Zhao replied casually, and she didn't know what this sentence meant, did she mean that they did it well, or did it be good to keep a distance from Qi Yan?

After the grandfather and grandson finished speaking, they were gossiping about each other, and the old lady suddenly got up and handed him a brocade box, which contained a painting:

"This is your mother's original dowry, a few years ago a fire destroyed a lot, this is the real work of Wenshan that was rescued!"

Hearing that it was the relics of his late mother, Zhao Jing's heart sank, and then he heard that there was a fire, and the indescribable anger in his eyes was involuntarily revealed, and he didn't even bother with the true handiwork of Wenshan in the old lady's words.

"Fire? I don't know how many years ago? Zhao Jing's brows tightened, and it took a long time to calm down.

"Twenty years! At that time, you were taken to Nancheng Town, and the old man who was originally serving your mother in the Yuqing Courtyard walked away, and the resignation was resigned, and there were fewer people who neglected to manage the water in the middle of the night, and a fire was burned, and all the good things that came from the Qinhou Mansion in it were almost burned.

In the end, the little guys tried their best to only snatch back a few paintings and a few broken porcelain bottles. The old lady recalled, there was irrepressible regret in her voice, but it was a pity!

"All burned? Does my grandfather still have my mother's previous dowry list? Zhao Jing's heart moved, and he followed this conversation to mention the things that were difficult to mention before.

"Nope!" Old lady Zhao was displeased: "How can I have her dowry list!" These women's things are kept by them, one for their mother's family and one for themselves: "Your father may have one!" ”

Old lady Zhao saw that Zhao Jing was obsessed with his mother's affairs, but he didn't take the painting, and his mind sank: "You can't forget the past after all, right, you remember that your mother's death has nothing to do with anyone, and my Zhao family doesn't owe her anything!" "Even if Zhao Jing is sent to the countryside, I am still sorry for her!

"Yes, grandfather!" Zhao Jing didn't think much of this, but he responded peacefully in front of the old man.

Late at night, the old lady told Zhao Jing some ways to be an official, so that he must share his worries for the king, and then he really couldn't find a topic, so the old lady Zhao let Zhao Jing go.

"Yes, grandfather!" Zhao Jing didn't think much of this, but responded peacefully in front of the old man.

The old lady mentioned another sentence and said that they would have a meal together tomorrow and congratulate Zhao Jing on his promotion.

Zhao Jing had no choice but to respond!

Late at night, the old lady told Zhao Jing some ways to be an official, so that he could share his worries for the king in the future, and then he really couldn't find a topic, so the old lady Zhao let Zhao Jing go.

After going back, Zhao Jingjin took a look inside, and saw that Qi Yunshu had fallen asleep, so he paced back to the outside room and sat in front of the bookcase, and took out a yellowed piece of rice paper from the crack.

Then stared at it in a daze with only three or two horizontal lines and a lot of black lettering.

Qi Yunshu lifted the curtain and entered, stood under the lamp and looked at it for a while, and saw that he still didn't react, so he spoke: "Zhao Jing? ”

"Lady's ......" Zhao Jing was startled, only to see Qi Yunshu standing under the lamp vividly, and the light silk pajamas outlined her figure exquisitely. His long hair was waist-high, and his eyes were misty with the mist of wanting to sleep.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Qi Yunshu had been waiting for Zhao Jing to come back, but during the period, she sent someone to ask, and Zhao Jingdao would not be able to come back for a while, so she took a nap.

When I slept until I was in a daze, I heard Zhao Jing coming back, but I waited in the room for a long time and didn't see Zhao Jing passing, so I found out, and I saw Zhao Jing holding a brush to the yellowed paper in a daze, and I didn't even notice that she was coming.

"I woke up the lady, didn't I?" Zhao Jing looked at Qi Yunshu apologetically.

"It's okay, I'm just worried about you, tomorrow will be early, no matter how much the old lady talks to you, you don't have to talk for so long!" Qi Yunshu leaned closer, and her eyes seemed to be aimed at the rice paper.

She found that it seemed to be the names of some objects, and when she looked at the names, they were either pearls or gems or jewelry, as well as all kinds of porcelain, furniture, paintings and calligraphy, and cloth.

"What is this?" She felt something.

"My mother's dowry list!" Zhao Jing didn't intend to hide it from her, he just didn't have a chance to talk about it before, but at this time, he secretly decided in his heart that if she asked, he would definitely know everything and tell her everything about his mother—it would be the first step for them to truly trust!

But to Zhao Jing's surprise, as soon as Qi Yunshu heard that the yellowed paper was related to his deceased mother, and it was also linked to the money and dowry, he realized that this belonged to his privacy, so he simply didn't ask, just asked him to clean it up, and it was time to rest.

"I'm going to go to the court tomorrow morning, and I don't have a few hours to sleep!"

Zhao Jing was stunned, and was urged by Qi Yunshu, and casually stuffed the dowry list into the drawer of the bookcase, and then was pulled back to the room by Qi Yunshu, and the two rested separately.

During the period when Zhao Jinggu was asleep, Qi Yunshu seemed to mutter, she was about to get up temporarily, and said casually, Zhao Jing didn't hear clearly, only heard a few words saying where she was going tomorrow.

"Where is the lady going?" By the time he remembered to ask, Qi Yunshu had already fallen asleep.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the chickens raised in the backyard crowed three times, and Zhao Jing had already gotten up and changed into his official robe.

Qi Yunshu was woken up, rubbing his sleepy eyes and seeing him tying his robe button alone, but because it was very inconvenient to be in the back of the waist, and he never wanted to serve the rings on weekdays, let alone keep vigil with them, so he couldn't find anyone to call at this time.

"You're really, this buckle is not easy to tie and you don't know how to wake me up!" She rolled over and got up to get up and tucked into her shoes.

Confused, he jumped in front of Zhao Jing, bent down to tie it for him, and was about to change his clothes, but Zhao Jing grabbed his waist.

"Lady......" His voice suddenly became sticky, Qi Yunshu's heart trembled, and his sleepiness was driven away.

"Huh?"

Zhao Jing's eyes were fixed on her half-open silk and silk sleeping clothes, where a thin groove was exposed, and he didn't even need to stretch out his head to see a piece of jade 1 white.

Although they have been sleeping together these days, she pretended to have a miscarriage a few days ago, but she has not had a close relationship for a long time.

Last night, I was provoked by the scene of another person under her lamp, and I didn't sleep well all night, but I didn't want to disturb her, but I didn't expect him to see more beautiful scenery in the morning.

But when facing Qi Yunshu's innocent and pure eyes, he still endured the abruptness in his eyes, and said softly in a dumb voice:

"It's still early, today is not the fifteenth day of the new year, there is no need to go to the old lady's courtyard in the morning and dusk, why don't you sleep for a while?"

Qi Yunshu couldn't help but hate him because of his tenderness: "I know that you were confused last night and didn't listen to my words!" ”

This voice is coquettish, and charming, with the coquettishness and light groan when he wakes up in the morning, Zhao Jing's heart is about to jump out, his throat rolls, and he can't think about other problems at all, but he just holds her in his arms, feeling the rubbing of the warmth, incense, softness, and jade, and his plan for a place actually reacts.

It turns out that he has never been a debtor of the forbidden valley, as long as the object is his wife, he can't control himself!

Qi Yunshu wanted to tell him where he was going today, but he was hugged and kissed by Zhao Jing for a while, until it was not too early and it was too late, Zhao Jing endured a pair of red eyes and looked at her dissatisfied: "Lady...... You're really grinding 1 person! ”

Qi Yunshu's clothes were stumbling and exposed, and the slight slashing of jade shoulders was like poison and deadly.

But the court meeting is imminent, and if he doesn't set off, he will be honorably the first official to be promoted and be late for the first time.

Emperor Zhaoping was extremely strict under the rule, and once the court meeting was late, he would be whipped in public for twenty boards.

He gently bit Qi Yunshu's thin lips, and said with a demonstrative tone: "Wait for me to come back at home, wait for me!" ”
