Chapter 161: Luhou Mansion
Zhou Ting looked at the things in his hand and knelt down directly.
"If the Yamen catches fast, if you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can let it go home early. There are also those who eat inside and out, if Lord Zhou doesn't investigate, then the official will do it! ”
"Give the lower official some time, the lower official will definitely have an explanation!" Zhou Ting knelt down and said, throwing his body to the ground.
Du Xuanmo saw that this person still knew whether he was alive or dead, and if no one asked about Zhou Ting's matter, it might have passed, but as long as he asked, there would be a problem. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment of court officials, even if the Ministry of Officials does not make difficulties, as long as these things are sent to the Imperial History Tower, presumably Zhou Ting will also be involved in a copy of those imperial history, and he can't eat and walk around.
"Lord Zhou, there is not much time, what to do, Lord Zhou should also know that there is a remedy now, and no matter how long things are delayed, there will be no half a remedy." Du Xuanmo said, now he has no available people in Kyoto City, although Zhou Ting is old, but he is still an old man in Kyoto City, and it is useful for him to keep it.
When Zhou Ting heard Du Xuanmo say this, he knew that Du Xuanmo had the intention to let him go, so he hurriedly kowtowed.
Although Du Xuanmo did not give a time limit, Zhou Ting did not dare to delay, and quickly mobilized his subordinates.
Du Xuanmo now has a lot of things in his hands, there are also black materials for officials, and there is also a new appointment drafting, he can't decide anything yet, there is still a book in charge of it, and the things he sent are also well thought out.
Liang Zhengxin received a list of trusted officials appointed by Du Xuanmo about the Liang family's sons and nephews.
"My lord, they are all positions outside Beijing, but they are also suitable." Wei Liao has seen it once, and he also understands why Liang Zhengxin values Du Xuanmo so much, and the positions he chooses are all external positions.
Liang Zhengxin nodded with satisfaction, now it is time for the Liang family to avoid the edge, the official position of Kyoto City is originally more wolf and less meat, and the children of the Liang family want to get ahead, they have to go outside to practice, so that neither the emperor nor the courtiers will have any objections. The emperor understands the Liang family, and naturally he will not treat the children of the Liang family badly in the future, Du Xuanmo's first move since taking office is safe.
Wei Liao nodded, no matter how Liang Zhengxin looked, he wanted to cultivate a successor.
"If adults want to develop talents, why don't they look for the right people at home?" Wei Liao was puzzled.
"How can there be someone like that?" Liang Zhengxin smiled bitterly, "If there really is, I don't have to bother so much!" "This court is not a business, if you don't get it right, it's a matter of losing your life, you don't have enough ability and brains, don't ask too much, now you can only wonder if your grandchildren can have a spirit.
Du Xuanmo's new official took office, Shang Shu Zhuoming was also very helpless, the old guys will be eliminated after all!
"There is nothing wrong with these lists sent by Lord Du, I will present them to the Holy Lord tomorrow, but when this list is mentioned, does Lord Du know the consequences?" Zhuo Ming asked Du Xuanmo, he had done enough in the court, and he would return to his hometown in a few years, and these causes and effects would eventually fall on Du Xuanmo's head, he also wondered, he had seen this young and vigorous, but he had never seen it so crazy!
Du Xuanmo clenched his fists, "The students know, but some things have to be revealed, and they are favored by the emperor." ”
Du Xuanmo's words were very plain, and he had already been mentally prepared.
Zhuo Ming smiled, "It's really terrifying, but there is one sentence I also want to remind you, lest you fall into the same fate as Wu Guoyun!" ”
"Thank you, sir!" Du Xuanmo said that he was grateful to Zhuo Ming in his heart, and Zhuo Ming was telling the truth.
Wu Guoyun was a favored minister of the former emperor at the beginning, and he did eradicate many courtiers who had different intentions for the emperor at the beginning. But after that, he was unrestrained and obsessed with power, which caused dissatisfaction among all the courtiers and began to exclude dissidents, and finally he was caught by the eunuch Zhao Xinian and killed directly!
Du Xuanmo, who returned home, sighed, he had just taken office, and it would be even more difficult to deal with such a bad thing in the future.
Shen Shiliu was busy in the back kitchen of the restaurant, Wen Huai sent a letter the day before yesterday, saying that he would be back next month, and now Zheng Erzhu's family affairs have been said, Wen Huai is also not a small boss, wait for Wen Huai to come back, and see what Wen Huai thinks.
"Young grandma, young master is back." Xiao Tie came over to report.
"Got it, let him wait for a while, and then start the meal later." Shen Shiliu said that now the work and rest at home are fixed, and the meal time is late.
Xiao Tie looked at the delicious food made in Shen Pomegranate's pot, wiped his saliva, Shen Shimei smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I'll eat it when I eat later!" ”
Xiao Tie nodded and went out first, while Shen Shiliu continued to work.
The spring menu has been changed and new dishes have been added, and now the store is small, but it is definitely the best profit in Kyoto City!
The shopkeeper of Yanxia hoped that Shen Pomegranate would be a little conscious of Mrs. Fate, and go home early to teach her husband and children, but after waiting and waiting, Shen Pomegranate not only did not let go of the restaurant, but even opened a grain store!
"It seems that our Deshun Building is going to change the shopkeeper, and there is no guest!" Yanxia muttered in despair, the restaurant is not profitable, and the owner behind it will definitely think that she is not doing well, and it will be a matter of time before she loses her job.
Xiao Liuzi has been following Yanxia shopkeeper since he came to the store, and if he changed the shopkeeper, he would also be embarrassed, so he said: "Shopkeeper, if you really leave, take me away." ”
"What are you taking you for? Starve to death together? Yanxia rolled her eyes, and she just said that, and she didn't really want to be unemployed!
Xiao Liuzi pursed his lips and said, "What should I do then?" ”
"I can only go to the owner to talk about it, anyway, they are not the only ones who have no guests now!" Yanxia packed up and went to find the owner behind the scenes, even if she was really unemployed, she had to have an explanation, and she couldn't let the owner really think that she was incompetent.
Yanxia rode on the road in a carriage, and as soon as the carriage stopped, she arrived in front of a mansion.
The housekeeper at the door saw that it was a haze, and let him go without asking.
The mansion is very magnificent, the rockery and flowing water garden pavilions, and the smoke and haze can be regarded as having seen the world, but every time you come to this mansion, you have to linger.
"You wait here first, the big butler will be here in a moment." After the little guy finished speaking, he left first, and he didn't have anything else to say to Yanxia.
Yanxia saw that no one came, so she first found a small stool to sit for a while, and when she heard footsteps at the door, she quickly stood up, not daring to slack off.
"Steward Li." Yanxia politely called people.
Steward Li has been on an errand in this Luhou Mansion for many years, and he has his own style, and after a glance at Yanxia, he said: "Yanxia shopkeeper, what's the matter today?" ”
Yanxia smiled and said: "Steward Li, isn't this still the same thing, now the restaurant is not profitable, it's really not my Yanxia's business!" Behind that small restaurant is the servant of the ministry, we can't move! ”
Steward Li frowned and said, "The little marquis said, it's your cook!" ”
Yanxia said: "There is really no better, it has been changed to eight, and other houses are in a similar situation, and now that small restaurant still has delivery, and there is no oil residue left for us!" ”
"Okay, you go back first, I'll talk to the little marquis about this!" After Steward Li finished speaking, he sent away the smoke.
Yanxia left Luhou Mansion with a sad face, and when she got out of the gate, she was unprecedentedly relaxed.
"It's a way to get rid of this trouble!" Yanxia left beautifully, and even if something happened after that, she couldn't be blamed.
Steward Li turned his head and went to find the little marquis, Lu Hou's previous generation was the Lu State Mansion, and when he reached this generation, he lowered his title and changed it to a marquis, but there are also some forces in Kyoto City, and the shops in Kyoto City are also involved.
"And this?" Xiao Zhi listened to Steward Li's words and pondered for a moment.
Xiao Zhi is nineteen this year, and his parents died early, so he directly took over the seal of Lao Guogong, which is when he is young and vigorous.
"Don't worry about it for now, the restaurant is so consuming first, anyway, there are other industries in it, but this Du Xuanmo seems to be in the limelight recently!" Xiao Zhi said, he is a little marquis, his aunt is still a concubine in the palace, and the most annoying thing when he is in high spirits is that someone is more fashionable than him!
Steward Li said: "Du Xuanmo is indeed in the limelight, but this person has no black spots in private, and he is a more decent person." ”
"Decent? If this Kyoto city wants to stand, how can there be any decency, either it is black-hearted, or it is pretending to be confused! After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, he pondered, he had never seen this Du Xuanmo, what kind of character was it?
The next day, Xiao Zhi went out, and Steward Li told him the location of the Du family's restaurant, and he went directly with the two family members.
"Little Marquis, this place looks so small, and there are so many people in it, do you really want to go in and eat?" The family asked Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi was used to eating and drinking, and he would not eat vulgar food.
Xiao Zhi directly pushed the family aside: "I don't really want to come to dinner, I'm just curious, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the daughter-in-law actually opens a small restaurant?" What do you think? "These women and dependents in Kyoto City are extremely good-looking, and sometimes they compare, this Du family's daughter-in-law comes out to be a cook, doesn't that Du Xuanmo care?
Xiao Zhi entered the door of the restaurant, Zheng Erzhu hurriedly greeted, there happened to be a table vacant, Zheng Erzhu quickly cleaned up, and asked Xiao Zhi: "What does this little boy want to order?" ”
Xiao Zhi glanced at the menu hanging on the wall, and said, "Just come to a few signboards." "He won't eat it anyway.
Zheng Erzhu responded, picked a few dishes and went to the back kitchen to deliver the order.
Xiao Zhi looked at the inside of the small restaurant, it was really inconspicuous, although it was clean, but there was a grain store next to it, how to look at it.
"How could such a big restaurant lose to such a small shop?" Xiao Zhi was also puzzled!
"Little Hou Ye, the woman at the door, I heard that it is Du Xuanmo's mother, who works as an accountant here!" Jia Ding reminded.
Xiao Zhi couldn't figure it out at all this time, even if his daughter-in-law didn't forget it, his mother-in-law quit to work, what kind of family is this?
