Chapter 311 Promotion
This matter soon spread to the palace, and the emperor was very happy about this disaster relief and said that he would reward the local officials.
On this day, Xu Linfeng personally found Chen Youyi and smiled like a spring breeze, "I have a good thing to tell you." ”
Chen Youyi was sorting out the lotus flowers in the small pond in the yard, and when she saw Xu Linfeng coming, she hurriedly put down the tools in her hand and greeted her, "What a good thing, I can still bother Lord Xu to run away in person." ”
"The emperor said that we have done a good job in disaster relief this time, so we want to commend local officials, and he said that he asked me to send a list of officials who need to be commended. That's what I've come to tell you about today. ”
Hearing this, Chen Youyi was not only not happy, but her face sank, and she took Xu Linfeng to the hall and sat down, and then let Xiaoxue pour tea, "You guys go down first, I'll talk to Lord Xu alone." ”
After everyone around her left, Chen Youyi looked at Master Xu, "I understand what you mean, many people want to put my name on the list, right?" ”
Xu Linfeng happened to pick up the teacup and was about to drink it, and when he heard Chen Youyi say this, he hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "That's right, you are really smart and guessed the purpose of my coming here at once." ”
But Chen Youyi didn't look happy, Xu Linfeng also saw this, and when he saw that her face was gloomy, he couldn't help frowning, "What's the matter, aren't you happy?" ”
At this time, Chen Youyi had a showdown with Xu Linfeng and asked directly, "Because I want to ask Lord Xu." ”
"Just ask."
"The reason why you gave me this matter of disaster relief is that you hope that the emperor can see my name, if the emperor still has a nostalgia for me, recall me to the palace and be my princess Chen Guo again, right?"
Xu Linfeng was stunned for a moment, "Don't you want to?" ”
Chen Youyi understood his mind very well, and knew that he was for his own good, but she didn't know why, she was still unhappy in her heart, she shook her head lightly, "If you really let me choose and let me go according to my inner feelings, I don't want to, I like it here now, and my father-in-law is still on the battlefield, I want to wait here for him to come back, so I don't want to go back to the palace." ”
Xu Linfeng also frowned tightly, he didn't expect to get such a result, but he tried his best to help the Queen Mother bring this princess of Guo Chang Chen back to the palace.
"Why, you are the eldest princess of Chen Guo, with a noble status, how can you condescend here for the rest of your life, even if you are a princess who was deposed by the emperor and became a concubine, it is different from other people, you have noble blood in your body, not ordinary people."
Chen Youyi smiled, she never felt that she was any different, maybe the eldest princess felt that her identity and status were higher than ordinary people, but now she is no longer the eldest princess she once was.
"There are some things I can't explain to you too clearly, but I've adapted to life here, and I hope to continue living here, it's not that I don't want to go back and see my family, it's just that there are still many things I haven't done yet, so I want to wait a little longer, or have a chance to talk about it later."
These words made Xu Linfeng frown tightly, and looked at Chen Youyi even more puzzled, "Why are you so troubled." ”
She didn't answer, just pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you Lord Xu for your kindness this time, I hope I don't write my name on the list, and I don't want the people in the palace to notice me." ”
"But if the emperor asks, how should I answer?"
Chen Youyi took a deep breath and thought of someone, "This matter is basically Li Tianyou helping me, he was also an official of the imperial court at the beginning, but he made a small mistake and embezzled 50 taels of silver before he was dismissed and exiled here, I think you should write his name, Li Tianyou is an upright and extremely filial person." This can also be seen from the disaster relief funds. ”
At this moment, Xu Linfeng immediately understood Chen Youyi's intentions, "You mean to say, let me promote this Li Tian again?" ”
"With your family's ability, it is not difficult to promote a small Ministry of Works, not to mention that Li Tianyou is indeed very talented, and he has also made a lot of efforts to provide disaster relief funds this time, which can prove that he is not a corrupt person, he is the kind of person who regards money as dung, if such a person is put in the imperial court, it will definitely make our Chen State stronger."
These words made Xu Linfeng quite admirable, he immediately stood up, and couldn't help but bow to Chen Youyi, "Among the many princesses who can think about the country and achieve results, you are the only one who has such a mind." ”
Chen Youyi smiled suddenly, but it was quite free, "There is no need to say this, Li Tianyou didn't know about this matter, I arranged it without authorization, you wrote his name on the roster and submitted it, and the disaster relief funds were also written in his name, and my name must not be written." ”
Xu Linfeng understood Chen Youyi's intentions at this time, it turned out that she wanted to promote Li Tianyou, Li Tianyou was degraded because he embezzled 50 taels of silver, but now he uses this kind of disaster relief funds to use all the people, without the slightest bit of corruption, such a thing proves that Li Tianyou was framed at the beginning.
Sure enough, it was Chen Youyi's hard work, and Xu Linfeng agreed, "Since you say so, then I will do this as you say, and I will write Li Tianyou's name on the roster, but I can't say whether the emperor will really reward him and how to reward him." ”
"It's man-made, we've done what we have to do, and the rest is up to God." Chen Youyi also stood up gratefully, and then sent Xu Linfeng out of here.
When it was almost evening, Wang Da hurriedly walked in from outside, seeing his panicked expression, Xiaoxue, who was busy in the yard, greeted him, "Brother Wang, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly, what's going on." ”
"Is Mrs. Qin at home?"
"My sister-in-law just went to the field, and said that she wanted to see the peppers over there, and she also wanted to go to the dense peach forest on the mountain to have a look, and she estimated that she was about to come back, what happened." Xiaoxue was still a little worried, and after Xu Linfeng left, Chen Youyi went out to do her business.
"There's something wrong with Wang's side."
"Wang? Are you talking about the family that made wine for your sister-in-law? Xiaoxue asked.
Wang Da nodded, "That's right, that family, the last wine tasting conference, did very well, our restaurant's business is as good as before, the main thing is that Wang's wine is good, their wine quality is indeed excellent, and the craftsmanship is also very exquisite, but I don't know how, these days it was time for their family to deliver, but no matter how much they urged, they couldn't hand it over."
