Chapter 210: Seeking Officials
When he was with the children, Song Zhi was always in a good mood, the two sisters and brothers slept soundly in the soft morning, and the two children slept surprisingly well-behaved, like two kittens, only the sound of gentle breathing.
Song Tian came to live in the palace yesterday, and now he leans on Song Zhi's side and reads an idle book with her.
The two sisters are as beautiful as twin flowers, one is simple and the other is delicate.
The book the two read is the most popular one in the capital recently, which tells the story of a big family who rushed to recommend their children after the heirs of the heirs.
The characters in this story are full of tricks and ugliness, and the descriptions are too vivid and realistic.
Song Zhi even doubted that this author might be the person in this play in real life.
The sisters were fascinated, and for a moment the room was quiet, and there was no other sound. Even a small pot of pine charcoal burning on their side would not make a sound.
If this charcoal fire is used for heating, it can only be said to be inferior. But in autumn, the use of silver silk charcoal is too heavy, but the use of pine branch charcoal is just right.
And this charcoal also exudes a light fragrance, has the effect of calming the mind and helping sleep, children should not use soothing incense, with this pine branch charcoal is the best.
As soon as the door is closed, the cool autumn mood can be isolated from the outside, and there is no leakage at all.
Meteor came in lightly, and it wasn't until he came to him that Song Zhi noticed that she had come in.
"Madam, this is the list handed over by Uncle Cui, all of them were confiscated according to your orders, but they were all written down."
Meteor handed a yellowish piece of paper to Song Zhi, who took it and glanced at it, and it was full of people who came to the palace to seek official positions.
"What's the matter lately?" Song Zhi looked at some names that he was not familiar with, like some petty officials, how could he dare to spy on Shen Baiyan's stomach when he saw Uncle Cui, who was afraid that he would nod his head?
"Tian Ningkang? Isn't this the Inspector of the Household Department who was promoted from Xiu'an last month? I heard that he is a pragmatic person, why did he come to give gifts? Could it be that it's just a name? Song Zhi looked at the name and frowned in thought.
She only dutifully stayed by Song Zhi's side, added tea to her, and said, "These people who seek officials come to the door in person, which is good to dismiss, just ask Uncle Cui to bother with some thoughts." It's just that there is a thick pile of posts on the side of Chayun, all of which are some official wives, this one says please have tea, that one says to come to the door to ask for a meeting, and there is also a famous opera troupe in the south at home, please go to the play. ”
Song Zhi listened, and only smiled mockingly.
I don't know what's going on this year, but a group of old people in the court have faintly retreated, so a few vacancies have been revealed.
A turnip and a pit, if a person walks, a person will definitely be promoted, so this vacancy will be left layer by layer.
Then the minds of the people below began to stir.
Rao is the closed door of Shen Baiyan's family is notoriously cold and hard, and there are many people scrambling to dig a spoonful to eat.
Some people thought that the back door was easy to go, and began to play with the idea of encircling the Shen family.
Month by month and Meteor laughed privately, if they let go of the gift, I am afraid that even the rough mother-in-law of Shen Baiyan's family who poured night incense can get a new satin.
Because these trivial things are quite annoying and drain people's energy, Song Zhi only hides at home these days, and unanimously claims that he is unwell.
The fool also knows that this is an excuse, so the dealings with those close to him are still the same.
"Don't say that my sister is here, even our family often has people coming to the door. I've heard that my brother is about to annoy these people to death. The day before I came, he also beat up his aunt in the courtyard. Song Tian leaned on Song Zhi's shoulder and said.
"What does it have to do with my aunt?" Song Zhi asked, she knew that Song Ling was by no means a person who vented her anger on innocent people, and there must be a reason for it.
"It seems that the aunt is seeking an official for her distant relative." Song Tian just listened to the gossip of her mother, who was talking a lot, and she didn't hear it very clearly.
However, this sentence has made Song Zhi vigilant. Song Ling has only one aunt, and she is the sensitive soft clothes!
This woman is like a living handle, if she is pinched in the hands of someone with a heart, she will be sued!
"How can you be so stupid? Didn't my sister-in-law have a pros and cons with her? "Auntie's discipline is the responsibility of the master's mother, Song Zhi looks at Zeng Yunyi and doesn't look like a person who doesn't understand these doorways.
Song Tian was a little ignorant, and asked puzzledly, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”
Song Zhi wanted to teach Song Tian a lesson, so he told Song Tian about the identity of Rouyi.
Song Tian was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
On her white and quiet face, there is always an inexplicable sense of sorrow, like a white stamens that does not bloom until late spring, and there is always a feeling that the flowering period is not long.
Song Zhi knew that the girl was older, and her mind was a little more complicated, and sometimes even Song Zhi didn't know what Song Tian was thinking.
Song Zhi once asked Song Tian if there was anything special that happened in the palace in those days, but Song Tian only said that he had never had it.
After a long while, she said inexplicably, "Being the emperor is like being pushed, lifted, and offered by thousands of hands, forcing him to do it." ”
Song Zhi knew the meaning of these words, and it was precisely because he knew that he felt that Song Tian said them, how could it seem like a sense of distress and sympathy?
During this time, Lin was pregnant, and Zeng Yun's body was not very good. Song Zhi proposed to let Song Tian come to live in the house for two days, and the Lin family was a hundred willing.
Song Tian is thoughtful, Song Zhi married early, and although the relationship between the sisters is good, they can't get together every day. And the Lin family is shallow-minded, she and Song Zhi can't talk about going all the way, let alone Song Tian?
Song Zhi sometimes feels that Lin's feelings for herself are not because she is her daughter, but because she is her and Song Ling's daughter.
Because she loves Song Ling deeply, she loves Wu and Wu. The feelings in this are very subtle, and Song Zhi can't say clearly for a while.
Anyway, when she looked at Man'er and Chuji, she only felt that her heart was soft, and she hated to dedicate her all to these two children, I don't know if the Lin family has this feeling about her three children?
Song Zhi and Song Tian were enjoying this short quiet time, and they heard news coming in, saying that the third lady from Zheng Guogong's Mansion was here, and asked Song Zhi if he had seen him.
Song Zhi was a little hesitant, although she had a good impression of Zheng Yanru, she always felt that she came at this time period, not like she came to gossip.
"Sister, go ahead. I'm here with two children. Song Tian saw that there seemed to be a hesitation between Song Zhi's eyebrows, so he said.
Song Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Okay." Then you obediently read here, and my sister will be back soon. ”
Song Tian smiled: "That sister can't keep up with my reading progress." ”
"What's this?" Song Zhi nodded Song Tian's forehead and said, "You just have to look at it." ”
Song Tian watched Song Zhi's back disappear behind the door, got up and looked at Chu Ji and Man'er, and saw that the two of them were still sleeping sweetly, so they read with peace of mind.
When Song Zhi entered the hall, Zheng Yanru greeted him and said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't see me!" ”
My sister laughed. Song Zhi's mind broke her, but it was a little embarrassing.
Zheng Yanru took Song Zhi's hand, sighed, and said, "It's right that you don't see me." I was forced by my mother to come to give a gift today! ”
She pouted at the brocade box on the coffee table on the side, and said, "Look, the treasures at the bottom of the box have been brought to you." ”
"Sister, you know me." Since she confessed so frankly, Song Zhi was not polite.
Zheng Yanru nodded, and said helplessly, "I naturally know you." Even my father didn't want to open this mouth to the prince for the matter of the ninth brother, so my mother complained about my father! Force me to go your way. I'm here with you today, even if it's a breath. ”
"Isn't your ninth brother in the Ministry of Rites?" Song Zhi vaguely had the impression that the officials of the Ministry of Rites had always been idle, but there was nothing to fish, and they always let the household department give the card to death.
"My mother doesn't look down on the Ministry of Rites, although she is idle, she has no rights. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has recently had some thoughts of Zhishi, and as soon as he leaves, he is naturally on top of the waiter. My mother-in-law saw for my brother that there was a shortage of squires. Zheng Yanru was annoyed by her mother at home and didn't eat well, and when she came to Song Zhi's place to smell the dim sum, she couldn't stand it.
She has a good relationship with Song Zhi, but she has become the handle of Duchess Zheng Guo, which is how people can stand it.
"What kind of official is your brother?" Song Zhi asked.
"It's a member of the ancestral hall." Zheng Yanru ate cheese cake and said.
"The ancestral hall is the fragrant bun in the Ministry of Rites, if your ninth brother is diligent and diligent on weekdays, there is a high probability that this squire position will be his."
Song Zhi said as he pushed Zheng Yanru's teacup to her.
"Yes! That's what I said, and that's what my ninth brother himself said! But my mother is a master who doesn't toss and doesn't feel happy! When I go back today, I say that you are not comfortable, and I am not embarrassed to say it. But lo and behold! She will definitely find another way, maybe she can't steal chickens, and she will have to eat rice! ”
When Song Zhi heard Zheng Yanru's words, he never thought that he would ask her to be right!
One day, Shen Baiyan went home and brought back a piece of news, saying that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites had been promoted to Shangshu, and he originally intended to recommend the son of the Zheng family to succeed him, but somehow, he knew that the Zheng family had used a lot of connections in private, and he also sent Li'er to Lao Shangshu.
Isn't it possible that you still want to have the position of your own Shangshu? Although it is unlikely, this new scholar was not happy in his heart, so he raised another one.
The half-cooked duck flew in front of Zheng Yanru's ninth brother like this, and I heard that for this matter, Zheng's chickens and dogs jumped for a while! Duchess Zheng Guo was not pleasing inside and out, and she really settled for a while.
However, Song Zhi didn't have time to care about the Zheng family's affairs, because Shen Baiyan captured Song Yan back, and he actually caught her in the capital!
