Chapter 249: Corruption (Asking for Pink Tickets)
"Mr. Wei is definitely going to report a letter there," Fu Tingyun said with a smile, "It's just that it's not appropriate for others to go, and I'll go to Tanzhe Temple in person early tomorrow morning." β
The third brother-in-law said guiltily: "This can only be the case - if others go, Mr. Wei may not meet." β
"There is a beginning and an end!" Fu Tingyun smiled and said, "Seventh brother-in-law, did you also send someone to report a message?" β
"I've let the little guy pass." The third brother-in-law said with some emotion, "Thanks to him running around for me these days, otherwise I don't know a lot of news, it's really hard for him." β
The third cousin pursed her lips and smiled, "Then you can thank him well!" β
"Should, should." The third brother-in-law nodded.
The third cousin discussed with Fu Tingyun about going to see Mr. Wei: "Last time you said you weren't in a hurry, I opened the cage once, and you didn't take anything." You can't help us and let you put up money, right? This time, you can't carry us to Tanzhe Temple without any means. If you're not satisfied with what I have, just tell me. We sisters are not outsiders. Mr. Wei has helped us so much, and we can't thank us enough. β
The third brother-in-law also looked at Fu Tingyun, looking like he would send someone to do it as soon as she spoke.
Fu Tingyun knew that their family was all cheerful, and he was not polite, so he thought about it and said, "You guys can find a way to get a better Go!" Antiques from the previous dynasty are the best. Mr. Wei likes bib very much. If not, the rare books of the previous dynasty will also do. β
"Good!" The third brother-in-law nodded again and again, and said, "I won't stay here for lunch, time doesn't wait, let's get this matter done first." β
Neither of them left the third brother-in-law, Fu Tingyun instructed Zheng Sanniang to prepare some steamed buns and buns for the third brother-in-law, and asked Zheng San to drive with the third brother-in-law to run errands.
The third brother-in-law did not refuse, and the two hurriedly went out.
He followed just now, and the seventh brother-in-law came on the back foot.
Hearing that the third brother-in-law went to prepare a thank-you gift for Mr. Zhen, he stomped his foot: "I should have drunk one less drink if I knew it." β
Only then did the sisters notice that he had a faint smell of alcohol.
The third cousin even said: "It's just noon, who is the seventh brother-in-law drinking with?" Did you have lunch? Do you want the maid to prepare the decanting soup? β
The seventh brother-in-law was a little dumbfounded. smiled: "Haven't I often been in the ministry these days to inquire about the news?" I didn't know that the third brother-in-law had gone to the ministry, and I went again early this morning, and the official who often handed me news told me that the third brother-in-law had a vacancy in the left of the ministry. I was supposed to wait for the third brother-in-law at the gate and ask him what was going on, but the official had to pull me to invite me to drink, and said something like 'Now that I'm talking to Shousuke, I turn my face and don't recognize anyone'. I listened strangely, and I thought that people had helped me a lot. I had to buy this little face, so I went with the official and we went to a restaurant next to us......"
Fu Tingyun was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Seventh brother-in-law, you said that the official said that you 'talked to Shousuke'. Could it be that Qian Donglin came forward to help the third brother-in-law and couldn't say hello? β
"Exactly." The seventh brother-in-law said with a smile, "Listening to the tone of the official, Qian Ge Lao came out of the Qianqing Palace to thank him, accompanied by Shen Ge Lao, went to the cabinet first, and came to the official department in the afternoon." After meeting with a few waiters and Langzhong, you have to look at the roster of 100 officials. Lang Zhong of the Anthology Division did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to get the roster. Qian Ge Lao directly turned to the sixth department, and pointed out the lack of the left part of the ministry. Q: Why is it vacant? Shen Ge Lao Zhishi, those waiters and Lang were restless in the center, listening to Qian Ge Lao's tone, he knew that he was going to arrange people, and he didn't care whether the court recommended him or not, so he took the pen and asked Qian Ge Lao who he thought was suitable? Qian Ge Lao directly wrote the name and place of origin of his third brother-in-law...... That night, the matter of the third brother-in-law was arranged. In the morning, when the third brother-in-law filled out the roster in the Anthology Division, the official document had already been posted...... It's unbelievably fast! β
In the capacity of Mr. Wei. will definitely not come forward in person, but Qian Donglin, the first assistant who has just taken office, took the lead in the affairs of his third brother-in-law on his first day in office...... Fu Tingyun still felt a little sweaty.
"That Xu official is an old man who has been in the ministry for more than 20 years, and it is the first time he has seen Lord Shoufu personally ask for a small lack of seven grades. Ask me who I am on? He also said, let me not be sloppy in front of him - even if the third brother-in-law is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Shoufu, in order to avoid suspicion, Lord Shoufu can't just go into battle bare-armed, and look like he won't stop until he reaches his goal......"
The third cousin listened. The heart immediately lifted: "Then did you say it?" β
The seventh brother-in-law laughed: "I'm a fool, I know that I can't say this kind of thing!" β
The third cousin blushed and muttered, "Seventh brother-in-law, don't blame! I'm concerned about it. β
Naturally, the seventh brother-in-law will not worry about these things with the third cousin.
He said with infinite emotion, "Mr. Wei is really amazing", and then he lifted his spirits and asked Fu Tingyun: "Ninth sister, what does Mr. Wei look like?" "His face was full of yearning. is like a child begging for candy from adults, which makes Fu Tingyun and the third cousin laugh.
At this time, in Penglai Pavilion, not far from Shijia Hutong, Yu Jingxiu was drinking with his colleague Chen Zhongming in the pedestrian division.
"Brother Chen," Yu Jingxiu's attitude was sincere and sincere, "Kyoto is not big, and it is not small to say small. You and that Chen Ge Lao are both from Kyoto, and they are both from Shilin, and they have the same surname, so they should have some intersection. β
Damn/! The old man is stronger than you in terms of age and seniority, just because you are the son of the elder of the pavilion, when the deputy director of the pedestrian department is vacant, he squeezes the old man down, so that the old man cannot move in the position of the pedestrian...... Now that Yu Ge has lost power, you know that you have come to ask for the old man/son......
Chen Zhongming slandered.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Yu Ge is still in office, but he still doesn't dare to offend Yu Jingxiu.
His demeanor was as intimate as in the past, with a bit of respect, and he said pointedly: "Although we are both from Kyoto, our two families are out of the five suits, and Chen Ge is my predecessor regardless of his seniority or Kedi, I know him, he may not know me." As he spoke, he laughed a few times.
Yu Jingxiu was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was still warm, and he said with a smile: "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors." Whether you know or not, you still have to move around more on weekdays. He said, revealing a look of reluctance, and said, "Brother Chen has also been in the pedestrian division for some days, don't you want to move somewhere?" Now that there is the big tree of Chen Ge Lao, how can Brother Chen be pedantic? The virtuous do not avoid relatives and enemies. What's more, Brother Chen's character and ability are obvious to all. If Brother Chen is not good at speaking clearly, I asked my father to come forward to recommend, what does Brother Chen think? β
"Then thank you, Brother Yu." Although he was dissatisfied with Yu Jingxiu, if he could get Yu Ge's stubble, maybe he would really lack a good one, Chen Zhongming couldn't help but be overjoyed, and raised a glass to Yu Jingxiu, "I salute Brother Yu with a cup." β
Yu Jingxiu drank it happily. "But." I have to let Chen Laoge play the side drums......"
"It's nature, it's nature." Chen Zhongming is also a person in the officialdom, so he naturally knows how to operate this kind of thing.
However, who should I talk to Chen Danting?
He pondered. Had another drink.
Yu Jingxiu looked at it almost, so he smiled and sighed: "I really envy Chen Ge Lao and Qian Ge Lao!" Quietly, how could he suddenly win the favor of the emperor...... "He wanted to find out the details of Qian Donglin and Chen Danting.
It's just that before the words were spoken, the door of the private room was pushed open with a "snap", and Mo Yan walked in in with a panicked expression.
Yu Jingxiu couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" Panicked. His eyes were very sharp, clearly signaling that he would say something later.
Mo Yan had no choice but to retreat and stay outside the private room until the banquet was over. Only then did he step forward and said: "Uncle, it's not good, Chengxin just said that a person named Shen Rensi was seeking a ...... in the matter of the left of the Ministry of Officials."
"What?" Yu Jingxiu was like a lightning strike, his face suddenly turned pale, and his voice involuntarily became high-pitched, "When did this happen?" Where did the news come from? β
"It's been announced." Yu Jingxiu's appearance. Mo Yan felt a little scared, he couldn't help but secretly regret that he shouldn't have come to report this letter, when the time comes, the uncle will always know, "Madam, Madam also knows, and I sent someone to ask the master." β
Yu Ge Lao has not yet returned from the Yamen.
The position of the father's first assistant was lost, and the position of the left of the minister, who thought he was nine out of ten, was also lost......
Yu Jingxiu was a little dazed for a while.
He didn't care that Chen Zhongming hadn't gone far, and walked quickly towards the outside of the restaurant: "Hurry up and set up the car." I'm going to Terracotta Hutong to find Daddy. β
Mo Yan didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and trotted out of the restaurant.
As soon as Yu Jingxiu jumped into the carriage, the carriage drove quickly towards the Terrach Hutong.
At the mouth of the Terracotta Alley, he met the little guy who was about to talk back to Mrs. Yu.
Yu Jingxiu's face turned pale, and he asked the little guy: "What did the master say?" β
The little guy hurriedly said: "The master just knew." It's asking people to ask who that Shen Rensi is......"
Seeing that his father couldn't find any news here, Yu Jingxiu's face became even worse. beckoned the little guy: "You go home with me." β
The little guy hurriedly responded, jumped into the carriage, followed Yu Jingxiu back to Jiadao Street, and followed him to see Mrs. Yu.
"It's really a house leak, it's raining!" Mrs. Yu replied, looked at her irritable son, and said, "I don't know where this Shen Rensi came from?" β
Yu Jingxiu stood up when he heard this: "I'm going to find someone to inquire?" β
"Come back!" Mrs. Yu drank Yu Jingxiu, "How strange is this matter, let's wait for your father to come back before making plans." β
Yu Jingxiu raised the corners of his eyebrows, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he was about to say something, but Mrs. Yu said, "Do you know too much?" Or do you know a lot of people your daddy? Thinking that his son would grow up so well and be smooth sailing, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand the blow, so he stepped forward and took his son's hand, and said softly, "Mother feels very frightened, you can accompany my mother here!" β
Yu Jingxiu hesitated for a long time, and when he saw Mrs. Yu holding his hand tighter and tighter, he had to nod.
Mrs. Yu breathed a sigh of relief, instructed the maid to cut the watermelon, and pulled Yu Jingxiu to sit on the Luohan bed.
Elder Yu Ge is back.
Mrs. Yu and Yu Jingxiu hurriedly greeted them.
