Chen Zumo's smile froze, he actually forgot about this layer.

Qingliu was given to him by He Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had a good conversation with him after the Qionglin banquet last year, and now Chen Zumo is going to work in the Ministry of Rites, and He Qian is his boss. If he takes Qingliu back and only serves as a maid, he will be a good gesture to He Qian; If Qingliu is accepted as a concubine, because the current lady's fetal image is not stable, I am afraid that it will make the Chengping palace unhappy......

So it's really hard to take Aoyagi back at this time.

"The old man went to Beijing as an official, and the old lady had no one to take care of him, so the slave family was willing to stay in the ancestral house and fulfill his filial piety in front of the old lady's knees for the old lady." Aoyagi took the initiative to pave the steps for Chen Zumo.

What an empathetic beauty! Chen Zumo's gaze became more and more gentle, "I have wronged you, after my wife gives birth, I will arrange for someone to take you into Beijing." ”

"To be able to do filial piety for the master, the slave family only feels honored." Aoyagi smiled like a spring breeze, "The slave family lives in the village, walks the road that the old man walked when he was young, and does the chores that the old man did back then, the slave family only feels happy and feels ......."

Aoyagi's little face was slightly shy and joyful, "I think...... I got closer to the master, and I felt that the master could be the champion in such a situation, which was really amazing. ”

The second half of Qingliu is telling the truth, Chen Zumo's ability to win the top prize is definitely related to his talent and hard work, not just because of factional disputes as rumored in the capital. Even if it is really a leak, why is he picked up so many lifts in the world? Or is he outstanding!

Chen Zumo, who had been studying hard for many years in the cold window of the third watch, suddenly felt that his nose was sour, and he couldn't wait to immediately pull Qingliu closer to his arms and take care of it, "Now that the spring is just right, let people prepare the car later, the lord will take you into the city to go around, you have not been out of the village for a few months, you have been wronged by you." “

Qingliu's face was immediately full of joy, but he looked at Chen Zumo with a little fear, "The slave family doesn't go to the field to pull weeds but follows the old lady to play, if the old lady knows......"

"Master, I have my own way." Chen Zumo returned home with a smile. Now that he has to sit as a high-ranking official, his wife is happy, and the concubine is gentle and understanding, why bother about this matter in Qinjia Village, he should take advantage of the good spring to join hands with beauties to indulge in the landscape!

So in the next few days, Chen Zumo took Qingliu to live in the Chen Mansion in the city, in addition to drinking tea and drinking with Jixian officials, he went out with Qingliu to go out for spring, and made a few poems for the spring, which was very proud.

Old Man Chen saw that his son, who had always been cautious, was indulgent, and he intended to mention a few words, but he thought that he would go to Beijing in a few days, so he let him go. After all, after his son entered Beijing, he had to be careful everywhere in the yamen, and he had to face Chai Yuyuan's grumpy daughter-in-law when he went home......

Old Man Chen looked up at the delicate maid who came in with tea, and sighed silently, so he had to be happy for a few days, this is not a big deal, just a little concubine.

If I am 20 years younger, I am afraid that it will ......

Old Man Chen shook his head and returned his attention to the book of sages.

"Master, the Chengping Mansion sent someone to deliver the letter." Another maid in a pink dress came in and handed over a letter.

Old Man Chen unsealed the letter, and then frowned.

After Chen Zumo, who was swimming in the lake, returned, he was called into the study by Mr. Chen, "King Chengping sent a letter, saying that he had fallen in love with Xiao Nuan. ”

Chen Zumo took the letter in his hand, and after reading it hurriedly, he wrinkled his eyebrows and said nothing.

His father-in-law intended to marry Xiao Nuan Xu to Xu Ya, the third son of Xu Lu of Honglu Temple, and said in his heart that Xu Ya was Xu Lu's son-in-law, young and promising, and worthy of marriage, so that Chen Zumo would return to Beijing with Xiao Nuan in two days.

Although Xiao Nuan is extremely hateful, she is also his biological daughter. The marriage of children should be decided by their parents, King Chengping is just the father of Xiao Nuan's stepmother, and he is not an authentic foreign family, but between the lines is full of "this king has been decided, you look at it" The lofty attitude of "this king has been decided, you look at it", instead of discussing with him, this makes Chen Zumo feel that his right to be a father is not respected, simply put, King Chengping does not respect him.

That's the difficulty of looking up to people's snorts! Now she can only temporarily condescend to the low eaves, waiting for him to become a supreme minister...... Chen Zumo held the letter in his hand tightly.

"Although Xiao Nuan is the daughter of my Chen family, but her biological mother was abandoned and not tolerated by her stepmother, and her own character is also missing, it is said that there should be no good family to propose marriage, how can the prince say in the letter that there are several official eunuchs who ask about Xiao Nuan's relatives?" Old Man Chen was puzzled.

Chen Zumo knows the reason, "Didn't Xiao Nuan worship an old Taoist priest as a lay disciple a few years ago, but I didn't expect that Taoist priest to be the first disciple of the Taoist Heavenly Master, the palace master of the Shangqing Palace, and he still has some prestige in the Taoist sect. I don't know why, Taoists are quite fond of Xiao Nuan, when Xiao Nuan entered Beijing in the first month of this year to officially worship the master, her master Shi Wuyi and her aunt Shi Wuchen invited the second prince, the third prince and the right minister and others to watch the ceremony, which caused a lot of sensation in Beijing. After Xiao Nuan's life experience was discovered, many people also inquired about Xiao Nuan's situation from his son. ”

"Honglu Temple's account book and monk officials' supplementary awards, and Buddhism and Taoism are quite deep, Honglu Temple Qing Xu Lu for his son to marry Xiao Nuan, must be because Xiao Nuan is a disciple of the teacher."

That dead girl, actually climbed up to such an amazing master? Old Man Chen was shocked for a long time before coming back to his senses, "How many products are there in the official residence of Honglu Temple?" ”

"From the fourth grade."

The son is from the fifth grade, and the top is from the fifth grade, the fifth grade, the fifth grade, and then the fourth grade, that is to say, Xu Lu is four levels higher than the son's official, such people want to marry Xiao Nuan back, which shows that this girl is now valuable! Old Man Chen was surprised, "Xiao Nuan's family affairs must not be handled by the Chengping Palace, you must have your own plans in your heart and find the best family for her to marry." ”

Of course, the best is the one that can get back the most benefits, Chen Zumo understood in his heart, "My son understands that the Xu family of Honglu Temple is involved in the dispute between Taoism and Buddha, which is not beneficial to his son's career, and it is not a good match." The son will wait and see for another year or two, and then make a decision after understanding the situation in Beijing. ”

Old Man Chen's eyes flashed, "In this case, we should bring Xiao Nuan back to the mansion as soon as possible to raise her, so that she can be with us when she marries." ”

Chen Zumo smiled bitterly, how did he not know how to call Xiao Nuan back, but Xiao Nuan had already followed the Qin family with an iron heart, he couldn't pull it back with ten horses, if she caught it hard, she would be able to turn the Chen family upside down with the green butterfly, making him a big joke in the eyes of the world.
