The next day, the prime minister sent Gu Siming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion on the grounds that Gu Siming was a pillar of talent, and sent him to the distant Yingzhou as the prefect.

Because the emperor was seriously ill, as the prime minister, he had full authority to deal with the promotion of officials.

At the same time as the prime minister's letter of appointment was handed to the prime minister's mansion, Sima Yue also found out from other channels that Gu Siming was transferred to a remote place to be the prefect, although the official position was not small, but she could not get close to the water, Sima Yue quickly entered the palace, pestered Sima Wuya and said: "Grandfather, you go and tell the emperor not to transfer Gu Siming away!" ”

Sima Wuya squinted his eyes like an old fox and asked her, "Gu Siming is not related to us, why does my grandfather want to help him again and again?" ”

Sima Yue's words flickered: "Because he is the cousin of my good sister Hong Ying!" ”

"Grandfather is not qualified to take care of other people's affairs!" Sima Wuya didn't believe it, he, the old fox, couldn't get words out of the little fox's mouth.

"Hong Ying is not an outsider, grandfather, do you think, if my brother marries her home, everyone will be a family!" Sima Yue said.

"Then I don't have the energy to support her cousin." After Sima Wuya finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Sima Yue was so anxious that she stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and said, "Then I want to marry Gu Siming home, and you will have to take care of his affairs!" ”

Sima Wuya smiled gloomily: "If that's the case, then it's no problem, the matter of my grandson-in-law is my business, even if I fight for the old face, I have to ask the emperor to find him a good errand." ”

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, and Sima Yue added: "It's best to be close to the General's Mansion......"

Sima Wuya stroked his beard, the old dragon bell laughed, and the officials of the same dynasty looked at his smug face, and involuntarily stepped forward to greet him: "Why is the general so happy?" ”

"Family matters, family matters!" Sima Wuya's smile became more and more proud. Gu Siming's state he carefully read one by one, he is brilliant, unique, can control all kinds of literary styles, it is very likely that the dragon will spread its wings in the future, if he helps him, he will definitely be grateful to Yue'er, and it is also a good fate to promote their affairs.

It didn't take long for this matter to reach the ears of the prime minister, and the prime minister hurriedly entered the palace and said: "Gu Siming is remarkable, but he has no political achievements, if he rashly takes up a post in Kyoto, I am afraid that others will be unconvinced." ”

And Sima Wuya said-for-tat: "If you don't enter the temple, how can you know the depth of the temple?" Gu Siming is a good material for being an official, if he doesn't serve in Kyoto, wouldn't it be a waste of talent? ”

"Even if you want to serve in Kyoto, you have to evaluate his political performance."

"Since you have to evaluate your political performance, where can't you assess the temple?"

"Sima Wuya, you are an old horseman, you are clearly a strong word."

"Old man Chu, don't think that I don't know that you are a rival in love to take away your grandson, and to announce your personal vendetta!"

"You're talking nonsense."

"What can I do if I'm talking nonsense?"

“……”

As he spoke, he actually quarreled, completely ignoring Jin Ming, who was leaning on the dragon chair on the side, and his body was weak, Jin Ming's eyes were cloudy but sharp, he just squinted and listened to the dispute between the two ministers, and it seemed that everything was clear in his chest, until they quarreled so much that Jin Ming slowly spoke: "What the two Aiqing said makes sense, and it is difficult for me to choose, so it's better to do this, the two Aiqing draw lots and decide." ”

In order to avoid disagreement between the generals, Jin Ming always used casting lots to decide who to listen to when they were arguing, which was already a common practice. But the two ministers knew in their hearts that sometimes the drawing of lots was completely the emperor's will, and whoever the emperor wanted to win, he could win.

This time was no exception, the two of them caught lots, but unlike usual, Jin Ming always favored the prime minister, but the general won, Chu Qingxiang looked at Jin Ming's slightly narrowed eyes, and suddenly became vigilant in his heart, although Jin Ming was weak and sickly, but his mind was not hindered by the disease, could it be that his arbitrariness over the years caused his dissatisfaction? Perhaps, what did Jin Ming know?

Thinking like this, Chu Qingxiang didn't have the heart to argue with Sima Wuya, but broke out in a cold sweat on the back of his palm.

And Sima Wuya also felt that this matter was strange, but it was also an achievement to be able to achieve his granddaughter's thoughts. As for the imperial power, it has never been his consideration, as long as he cares about fighting and being obedient, he can keep his family worry-free.

After the court, when Sima Wuya returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw Sima Ting hesitating in the courtyard, as if he had something to say to him, so he walked over and asked, "Ting'er, do you have something to find your grandfather?" ”

Sima Ting hesitated and said, "Grandfather, that, Yue'er seems to have a good impression of Gu Siming......

"Not only does she have a good impression, she came to the door today and begged me to let me find a good job for this kid Gu Siming." Sima Wuya was not in a hurry, he knew that the most anxious person could not be him.

"Yue'er is really bold." Sima Ting blushed with some shame, but he didn't expect that in love, he was even more cowardly than his sister, because with Sima Yue as an example, Sima Ting also said boldly: "Grandfather, I want to ...... I want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage...... I hope my grandfather agrees. ”

Sima Wuya squinted, it was an extremely interesting thing to compete with Cheng Xiang's granddaughter-in-law, but he didn't expect his court to be very neat, and he became interested in Hongying so quickly, haha...... Yes, it seems that his prime minister's mansion is going to be double happy this year.

So, Sima Wuya stroked his beard, hiding the joy in his eyes and said: "Grandfather will do his best to support you, no matter what Hongying once was, she is now the county lord of Anxi, and she is the daughter of Xiangye, and you can be regarded as a good match, as long as you don't wronged her." ”

Sima Ting was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Then when can I go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage?" ”

"I'm old, you can make your own decisions." Sima Wuya said with a smile.

"Yes, grandfather." Sima Ting immediately went to find the housekeeper and discussed the dowry.

And because Hongying was canonized as the lord of Anxi, she had to carry out the canonization ceremony in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the process was cumbersome, and Hongying, who had never had any rules, knew that it was not easy to eat royal rice.

In the morning, she was dragged out of the bed by the palace mother, bathed and fasted, selected the palace maid and eunuch to stay in the prime minister's mansion to wait, counted the county lord's salary and some necessities, and was busy until the evening to go to the palace to see the concubine and thank the emperor.

Her personal maid for her to lightly draw at the mule Dai, with the best pearl powder on the face, according to the words from the palace, for her to comb the hanging phoenix bun, put on the phoenix crown left by the queen who has long passed away, hanging with gold Yingluo pendant, the ears of the phoenix carving bright moon, a crimson palace robe, embroidered with a delicate nine-day flying phoenix pattern, as she walked, it seemed to bring the pattern on the clothes alive, as if there was a phoenix from the sleeves of the fragrance, lifelike.

Hong Ying carefully looked at her delicate face in the rhombic mirror: the person in the mirror was extremely beautiful, as if he had walked out of the painting, familiar but strange, although beautiful, it seemed to be carefully outlined by the painter, a little less human's agility, stiff and cold.

When she stepped out of the threshold, two palace maids in green palace clothes came to support her, she stiffened, and lightly opened her lips and said, "No, I'll ...... it myself" She really didn't adapt to the scene of being surrounded by so many people.

Who would have thought that she stayed in the Xiangfu just to rub a bite of food, but now she has become the county lord by mistake, a collection of thousands of favors, her good youth has just begun, she can slowly choose her own wishful husband, and then live a quiet life with her beloved!

Chu Luo came to meet her at this time, and looked at her blankly for a long time, only to feel that her eyebrows were a little familiar, a little unfamiliar, and there was an indescribable sense of intimacy, as if she had seen it somewhere, maybe this is the reason why her grandfather said that Hong Ying is a little like his aunt. Although there is no blood relationship, but that wonderful feeling can't deceive people, no wonder my grandfather likes her and treats her as his own.

A palace maid reminded him: "Please ask Young Master Chu to salute the county lord." ”

Hong Ying choked, held back a smile, and looked at Chu Luo with a smile, wanting to see how this arrogant and domineering Young Master Chu on weekdays was embarrassed in front of people.

Who knew that Chu Luo's calm and calm blessing said: "See the county lord." I don't know why, looking at the appearance of that little girl and villain, he gets angry, but he won't really give her a chance to tease him.

"Let's be flat." Hong Ying straightened her chest, looked at him proudly, and said in Jin Xiangxiang's tone: "This palace wants to enter the palace to thank you, please accompany me." ”

"I refuse!" The bland and indifferent words came from Chu Luo's always vicious mouth, which made Hong Ying stunned, she seemed to be really a little villainous, forgetting that she was pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth.

"Why?" She also looked at Chu Luo with a smile, anyway, she can't lose her momentum if she loses, even if she compares her momentum with the tiger, she can't bow her head and admit defeat without comparison.

"Because today is the first day of the minister's inauguration, the minister can't be late." Only then did Hong Ying look at Chu Luo, a pair of cold eyes shining on his jade-like face, his lips were slightly pursed, and he was wearing a decent official robe, which looked like an official who had scavenged the people's fat and ointment, but Chu Luo's hat...... Ling Hongying sprayed rice without any scruples, the green official hat was worn on the top of Chu Luo's head, which had a bit of a vulgar taste, and she smiled: "Your clothes are too vulgar, just this hat is not bad." ”

Hearing the sarcasm in her mouth, Chu Luo's face turned red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and retorted: "With your clothes, the taste of the entire street out of the mansion can be lowered by you." ”

"You dare to say I'm tasteless?" Although this dress was not matched by herself, but for the sake of the palace maid's sister who had worked hard to get such a complicated button, she couldn't let the real clothes be insulted, so she stepped forward to fight with Chu Luo.

And Chu Luo didn't shy away from it, he directly greeted her, put his nose against her small nose, and said: "Don't think that a fox is a tiger if he puts on a tiger skin, the emperor can canonize you today, and he may depose you tomorrow." ”
