Chapter 478: Walking the streets
"You and I, as human ministers, just do our duty, as long as you do your duty, as for other things, Lord Qian, don't stretch your hands too long." Shang Zhou said this, probably because Murong Yu figured out the cause and effect, and found that there was something wrong with Qian Sen, so he made such remarks.
And as soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Qian Sen, who was next to him and planned to continue to fan the flames, scared half to death.
"Lord Shang, what do you mean by that? Everything I did was for the sake of you, Lord Shang, I have been busy with you for so long, and I haven't said a good word at the end, but this matter has become mine. ”
Qian Sen said, and raised his head back angrily, Shang Zhou glanced at him, and felt that it was understandable to say so, so he slowed down his attitude.
"It was indeed the official's misspeech just now, and please don't blame Lord Shang. I still have something to do with my official today, so I'll take my leave first, so please take care of it. ”
After that, Shang Zhou really left this place without looking back, and Qian Sen couldn't do this, and almost fell into ashes, and he was very resentful in his heart, and kept staring at Shang Zhou After getting into the carriage and leaving, he took a deep breath and walked down the steps out of the palace.
"Master, what should we do next? Neither of these ends is going to work, so let's go back. Said the little guy who was standing next to Chanson's carriage.
And Qian Sen propped one hand on his carriage and stood still, as if thinking about something, and was not in a hurry to leave, "Both ends are useless, and it is in vain that I put my mind on them." ”
The meaning of this statement is very deep, I don't know if he is talking about the past and the present, or the two groups of people in front of him.
"Forget it, although this matter has nothing to do with us, but after Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang agreed not to be in the draft, there must be many ministers in the family who have daughters to be married will be very sad, we might as well visit and walk around, so as to comfort and comfort these people."
"Yes." The little servant agreed, and carefully helped Qian Sen into the carriage.
There are many officials in the court, plus there are many royal relatives and nobles who have titles, grades, and actual official positions, but these people may not be able to look down on Qian Sen, so there are actually very few friends with Qian Sen, and the only one who can speak is the six Shangshu who are in the same six departments.
But now that Murong Lin has ascended the throne, the politics of the DPRK and China are clear, and the six Shangshu have also begun to prepare how to occupy the throne. The household department and the official department are unreliable, and they only account for the medium. And the military department was strictly controlled by Murong Lin, and Qian Sen didn't dare to mess with it. For the remaining two, Qian Sen thought about it for a while, and decided to start with Ji Haosheng from the Ministry of Industry first.
Ji Haosheng was from the local county seat back then, relying on his own good literary talents, during the reign of Murong Si, when he was so mixed, he was stunned to be admitted to the capital. Although later, because he was not tactful enough to do things in the court, Murong Si only assigned him a Ministry of Industry that was not very valued.
Later, after Murong Yu ascended the throne, he wanted to clean up the officials of the central ministries, and after the investigation, he dismissed the original Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and then promoted Ji Haosheng. Ji Haosheng can't say anything, although his writing is good, but he is lacking in all aspects of talking to people, and he doesn't have such a high heart as if he wants to fight for something, so he is always willing to guard the Ministry of Works, so there is nothing else to ask for.
However, it may also be because of Ji Haosheng's character that his pampered daughter in the family can't agree with his style of acting. Not only did he refuse to learn his father's golden mean, but he worked harder and harder, and he has been striving to become the most top-notch person among the officials and ladies of Beijing No. 1 Middle School.
Qian Sen saw this girl a few times when he was a child, and he knew from his eyebrows that this girl's heart was higher than the sky, and she would definitely not live in the capital safely. Now that Murong Lin has decided that he refuses to draft, although he doesn't know if the Ji family's girl is thinking about entering the palace to be a concubine, it is good to inquire in the past, or accompany him to make a complaint.
The distribution of houses and residences in the capital is also regular, and generally the royal relatives and family with titles will live closer to the palace, and Qian Sen and these high-ranking officials, although they do not live in one place, but the divided area is still in the same direction.
After Qian Sen left the Dongbian Palace, he walked a few streets to the south, and then turned an alley to the west, which was the fastest way to Ji Haosheng's house in the Ministry of Industry, and then walked along the street in the northwest direction in this direction, and you could go straight to the backyard of his house. Such a direction can also make it more convenient for Qian Sen to come back after making a small report.
This Ji Haosheng treats people well, and his personality is quite kind, and he usually doesn't have any crooked eyes, so Qian Sen and him can barely talk. It's just one thing, Ji Haosheng only has one daughter, so he dotes on her very much, it's like his own girl who says that he wants the stars and moon in the sky, and he will not say a word, so he will find a way to go up and pick it.
Qian Sen got out of the carriage, tidied up his clothes again, and then came to the hall of Ji Haosheng's house and sat down. And Ji Haosheng was originally in the backyard at this time, accompanying his own girl to enjoy the flowers, and suddenly heard someone in front of him coming to report, he frowned, and he didn't want to take care of it.
But his girl pinched a flower in her hand, lowered her eyes and thought about it for a while, and then gently pushed him twice to persuade him. "Father has never liked to socialize with people, but people are kind enough to come to visit you, it is also the kindness of others, even if we don't take the initiative to please others, just hang people in our own hall, that is not polite."
Ji Haosheng nodded when he heard this, and patted her shoulder gently, "What my son said is reasonable, then he will come as a father, if you feel bored, go back to your yard first." ”
"It's okay, the daughter is here waiting for her father to come back." Miss Ji shook her head slightly, and when Ji Haosheng walked away, she suddenly felt that it was too boring here.
"Magpie, you follow me to the front to see who is the person who came to find my father this time." Saying that, Miss Ji took the hand of the maid beside her, and was about to catch up all the way along the road where Ji Haosheng walked out.
But eavesdropping on the conversation between his parents and officials in the DPRK and China, this is a big problem, and the key is really not to be a famous lady Miss Xiu, the magpie heard this, and kept dragging Miss Ji to shake her head again and again.
"Miss, forget it, the lord and the adult may have something important to talk about those things in the court, let's not listen to it, if the young lady feels bored, how about the slave accompany you to the backyard to fish?"
"What kind of mouth do you have, do you still need you to teach me what Miss Ben wants to do?" Miss Ji was impatient when she heard this, so she simply shook her hand away, and almost didn't ask her maid to put one hand on the Yueji flower next to her.
"If you don't dare, I'll go by myself, and if my father asks, I'll say that you instigated me to go over, and you still refuse to listen to my orders, so I have to teach my father to punish you well."
Dropping this sentence like this, Miss Ji threw off her sleeves and went to the front hall with a dignified posture, the magpie had no choice, and was afraid that she would be punished more severely because of the unfavorable care, so she had to follow the same.
Ji Haosheng walked to the front hall in front, and suddenly saw that it was Qian Sen sitting there, and he was a little stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he greeted Gong Shou politely. This person has always only gathered around those high-ranking officials and nobles to curry favor and sell his manners, how can he come to me today?
Ji Haosheng muttered in his heart, arched his hand early, and slowly walked in front of Qian Sen, "I didn't expect it to be Lord Qian coming, it's really a disappointment, Lord Qian doesn't want to be weird with me." ”
"Lord Ji is polite, the official also knows that Lord Ji is busy on weekdays, and he really doesn't dare to disturb at will, if he doesn't miss Lord Ji's business, even if the official didn't make a mistake this trip."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled with different thoughts, sat down politely, and after the people in the house served tea, Ji Haosheng came back to his senses, and suddenly saw Qian Sen's dress today, and felt even more stunned in his heart.
"Well, this, Lord Qian said that he came to talk to the official today, so why did he put on this court robe?" Usually officials visit each other, but they have never seen such a formal dress, if they really wear official uniforms, I am afraid that there is another reason, so Ji Haosheng can't help but worry in his heart.
When Qian Sen heard this, he glanced down, but gently patted the dust on his sleeve, and said disapprovingly, "Ah, my lord doesn't have to worry about this, this official and Lord Shang of the Ministry of Rites went to the east palace to ask for the emperor to wear it, this is not on the way back to the house, I happened to pass by the adult, and I wanted to come over to ask for a cup of tea, so I forgot to change it." ”
"So that's the case, the official thought something was wrong, and he was really worried." Ji Haochang exhaled, and his heart was more relaxed. At this moment, Miss Ji, who came from behind, also walked to the foot door of the front hall, and quietly hid behind the screen under the cover of the subordinates, and she could hear every word Qian Sen and they said here.
The servants who were waiting in the corner of the front hall were uneasy, and they didn't know how to react, but when they saw Miss Ji making a threatening silence behind the screen, they couldn't keep quiet.
"I don't want Lord Qian to be a good tea person, where can I say that I want to ask for a cup of tea, wouldn't it be too raw. This is the new summer tea that the government collected from the local Zhuangzi, or the first batch, Lord Qian can taste it to see if it suits his appetite. ”
Ji Haosheng greeted politely, but Qian Sen has always only loved expensive and good, where can he know how to appreciate the quality of these ordinary teas.
