Chapter 228: The Matter of the Court
Today is a good autumn weather. Some time ago, Han Yi took a fancy to the pomegranates on the pomegranate trees planted by Jinshu, and the pomegranates were ripe in the past two days, so he stepped on the good weather today and came to the door. But this time he didn't come alone, he was accompanied by his mother Liu Fengru.
When Ping An came to report the news, Jin Shu was lying on a wicker chair in the small garden basking in the sun. The rattan chair is placed under the wall of moon flowers, and the sun is dappled and sprinkled, which is really very pleasant.
"Girl, Gongzi Han and Mrs. Han are here."
A sentence of peace brought the confused brocade book back to reality. She slammed up from the wicker chair and hurriedly asked Ping An to invite someone in. However, just as she spoke, Han Yi had already entered the courtyard very consciously. I don't know how many times he's been here, so Uncle Fu didn't stop them.
"You're having a better time than I do." Before the sound arrived, Han Yi walked in from outside the garden with Mrs. Han after the words were spoken.
Jin Shu didn't refute his words first, but walked over to greet Mrs. Han. Mrs. Han has also come to Jinshu's house twice as a guest, but she still comes less than Han Yi. After the two exchanged a few words, Jinshu invited Mrs. Han to sit down. As for Han Yi, there is no need for Jinshu to say, he has already found a place to sit in a familiar way.
Mrs. Han looked around and said with a smile: "Every time I come to you, I can always see a different scenery, this small garden is more vivid and interesting than ordinary courtyards. ”
"Madame has won the prize. I'll do it on a whim, too, if you like it. ”
Before Jinshu finished speaking, Xiaomei and Xiaoyue came in with refreshments, and there was a plate of purple grapes in it. She hurriedly beckoned Mrs. Han to taste it.
followed Ye Shi also came. She and Mrs. Han are of the same age, and they are both women, so they naturally have a lot of topics in common. Jin Shu and Han Yi couldn't interject, so they simply found an excuse and slipped away.
The fruit in the orchard has been almost plucked, and some are still hanging from the branches that are not yet fully ripe. Han Yi and Jinshu walked side by side in the courtyard, chatting as they walked.
"I received a letter from Lin Yuan, I heard that there is a lot more tax revenue in Shuzhou this year, and the monarch is planning to promote Lord Lin."
Jin Shu nodded, "It's time for a promotion." Although Lord Lin is no longer the prefect of Shuzhou, this foundation was laid when he was there. ”
"You're right." Han Yi raised his head and swept around the surrounding trees, "It's just that I heard from my friend in Zhongjing that the monarch seems to be interested in letting Lord Lin be the position of the secretary of the ministry." ”
In these officialdom news, Jinshu has never had Han Yi well-informed. Just listening to his tone, it seems that there is still some cattiness in it.
"What's wrong with the official book?"
"You don't know?" Han Yi retracted his gaze and looked a little surprised, "Didn't your uncle write to tell you?" Now he also serves in the Ministry of Officials. ”
Jin Shu shook his head. It was about to be in Zhongjing, so now Li Yunzhi doesn't write much to Jinshu's mother and daughter. Even if there is, it is only to write a letter of greetings during the New Year's holidays, and the letter will never mention officialdom.
"My uncle is in the Ministry of Officials, is there any necessary connection with Lord Lin as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials?"
Han Yi sighed, probably thinking that Jinshu was too "lonely", "Don't you know that your uncle has married the daughter of the servant of the ministry?" ”
"I still know this." Li Yunzhi mentioned it in his letter, and the two became close friends last year.
Han Yi nodded, feeling that it was very rare for Jin Shu to know about this matter. He glanced at Jinshu with deep satisfaction, and continued: "Now, the ministers of the court and the central government are divided into several factions because of the matter of establishing the crown prince, and the monarch has not been very happy about this matter. In particular, the official department Shangshu, who thought that he could be unscrupulous by relying on the big tree of the prime minister, has recently annoyed the monarch. Hearing this, the king intends to find a mistake in him and remove him. In this way, the position of the secretary of the ministry was vacated. ”
