Chapter 164: Concerns
In the Shilang Mansion, these days have finally had some meaning of clearing the clouds and mist and seeing the blue sky.
In the past few months, there have been some things in the house one after another, and the masters have a gloomy face, and the people under them are naturally extra cautious in doing things, for fear that if they are not careful, they will annoy the masters.
Since Ji Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came to the door in person, this tone can finally be relaxed.
Although Ji Shangshu came over, it wasn't that Xu Yan was going to return to the yamen, but the eldest girl's family affairs could be decided, and they could be set so well, who could not be happy?
As subordinates, the master has a long face, and they have a face.
Wei ran to Qingyu Hall one after another, she used to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she walked around extremely diligently.
The daughter's marriage has fallen, the rules of the two families, the Wei family was born in a businessman, and has never done this, so she has to entrust it to the Yang family, but she herself is not idle, she follows the Yang family, listens carefully, learns carefully, and writes down if she doesn't understand, go back and think about it for two days, but she still can't figure it out, and then ask the Yang family.
The Wei family is transparent, her daughter is married, and she has a son, so she can't help but grow up, and everything will trouble the Yang family, right?
If you have a son, you will have grandchildren in the future.
There has been no red business in the house in these years, and the Wei family used to have nowhere to learn if she wanted to, but now she will never let go of such a good opportunity.
Yang didn't have much interest in pointing out Wei's, but he was also happy to have someone to share it, and Wei personally took his hands, and he didn't have to say to her in the future that she didn't like here, that something was missing there, so he taught a few words at random, and let Mama Shao follow the rest.
The Ji family was also anxious, and they couldn't wait to make the marriage contract early, as if Xu Lingyi would run away.
Yang muttered in his heart, but it was not easy to tell Wei, so he said a few words to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan glanced at Yang, and some words were hovering in his heart, but he still didn't tell her.
That day, Ji Shangshu came over and closed the door, and the other party said very clearly, it was Ji Zhicheng who had seen Xu Lingyi's words, and he liked it very much, and occasionally saw Xu Lingyi's side, and he was very happy, so he gave his elders to his parents.
Of course, Ji Shangshu will not tell Ji Zhicheng about chasing Xu Lingyi several times, he still wants this old face.
Xu Yan didn't know about that incident, and Wei and Xu Lingyi kept it a secret.
The Ji family is so sincere, according to what Xu Yan saw, it is Ji Zhicheng's intention.
Xu Yan is an officialdom man, he has seen people hugging left and right, and he has not put any of them in his heart, but he has also seen those who are single-minded and recognize it.
Far from it, his younger brother Xu Chi is not such a person!
Therefore, Xu Yan did not question Ji Zhicheng's sincerity, but felt that this sincerity was very moving.
It's just that when he went out of the study and communicated with everyone at home, Xu Yan said that "Ji Shangshu likes Xu Lingyi's words, and the Ji family wants to marry this family."
Xu Yan is worried about Xu Lingyi's reputation.
In the past few months, the Xu family has suffered a lot because of its reputation, Xu Yan would rather be cautious and take care of this marriage.
First, he was worried about Xu Lingjie's fast mouth, second, he was worried that Mrs. Min would be angry and would say anything, and thirdly, he was afraid that there would be another maid who couldn't control her mouth, and she would talk nonsense, if she was still the same as Shi Ying, she would really regret it.
It's just that Xu Yan didn't expect it, because of his caution, the Yang family thought about it.
What Ji Zhicheng misbehaved, the Ji family wanted to quickly find someone to watch him; What kind of Ji family is seriously ill and wants to take the marriage to rejoice......
But whenever it is bad, the Yang family has already come full circle.
The Yang family is also afraid that the officialdom will rely on in-laws to support each other, and she also hopes that Xu Lingyi will marry well, and the fool hopes that Xu Lingyi will be unlucky!
"Who doesn't have a thing to do, they really have the heart to get married, spread the situation on the table and talk about it well, and there is a lot of discussion," Yang said slowly, "But if you really hide it from our family, it won't look good to make trouble in the future, and then ask others to say that we 'sell' girls, it will really be heart-wrenching." ”
Xu Yan smiled and explained: "I heard that Ji Shangshu wants to ask Master Fu to protect the media, the Ji family has given us enough face, they want to calculate us, can they still calculate Master Fu?" Is his Ji family shameless? ”
As soon as the name of Master Fu came out, the questions in Yang's heart suddenly dispersed.
Protecting the media and protecting the media is to use the dignity of the matchmaker as a guarantee.
The Ji family can't pit Master Fu, otherwise the Xu family will make a fuss, and Master Fu will be able to sit still? The Fu family has been mixed in, can the Ji family have good fruits?
In the officialdom, Fu Taishi is the head of the three princes, and his words are extremely weighty.
In terms of human feelings, Fu Taishi's grandson wants to marry Gu Yunsi, Fu, Gu, and Xu are in-laws, no matter whether they walked around before or not, whether they will be close in the future or not, the relationship between relatives is here, if the Ji family pits Fu Taishi and makes it difficult for Fu Taishi to be a person among relatives, their Ji family will be really dizzy.
Yang shook his head and said: "Since I can invite Master Fu, then I don't have to worry, the master just rest assured, I will definitely let Ling Yifeng marry beautifully." ”
Xu Yan saw that the Yang family was clear about this matter, so he praised it twice.
The husband and wife have rarely been so close to each other recently, and Mama Shao has already taken someone out to avoid it, and instructed Huamei to guard it and go back to the room to rest.
Before he could take two steps, a mother-in-law from the porter came to report the news.
Mama Shao wanted to stop it, but when she saw the woman's face full of joy, she couldn't help but care: "What's the matter?" If it's not in a hurry, I'll talk about it later. ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Someone from the Ministry of Industry asked the master to hurry up to the yamen to discuss matters, and he was in a hurry, listening to that meaning, our master is going to be reinstated." ”
"Oops!" Where did Mama Shao dare to delay, she hurriedly re-entered the house and bowed carefully.
Yang asked Mama Shao to disturb talking to Xu Yan, she was unhappy, but as soon as she heard the news, the rain immediately cleared, and she beckoned someone to take out Xu Yan's official uniform, and personally waited for her husband to change clothes.
Xu Yan packed up and hurriedly went out.
He asked the little official who came to invite him, but the other party couldn't say that he was ugly, only knew that today's 800-mile urgent documents were sent to the imperial study, and the old man was also summoned, and when he came back, he would look for Xu Shilang.
Xu Yan rushed to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, said hello to several officials, and went to the conference hall to find Liu Shangshu.
Pushing the door in, the table was full of people, and all of them had heavy faces, Xu Yan's heart couldn't help but chuckle.
Stabilizing his mind, he saluted Liu Shangshu and Zuo Lang Wen, and listened to the officials below get up to greet him, and then sat down according to Liu Shangshu's wishes.
"Xu Shilang has been following Cao Feng and Lord Cao for many years, right?" Zuo Shilang glanced at him and said.
Although he didn't know what was the matter with mentioning the late Cao Feng at this moment, Xu Yan still nodded and said: "Since I entered the Ministry of Industry, I have received a lot of guidance from Lord Cao in the past few years in the service of the capital Shuiqing Minister. ”
