The mood of the third cousin's family began to be a little low.

If Zhao Ling is at home, he can still think of a way......

Fu Tingyun also had nothing to do, thinking that the Dragon Boat Festival was about to pass, and he couldn't let the third cousin's family spend the Dragon Boat Festival in such a cold and lonely way, so he prepared realgar wine, various pastries, melons and fruits and other items for the festival, and took the two children to the place where the third cousin lived.

The third cousin saw that Yuwei helped Fu Tingyun, who had a big belly, and got out of the carriage a little clumsily, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Fu Tingyun's other arm, and said angrily: "What are we sisters doing with these false courtesies?" What do you have to do with Yuwei, they are, or ask them to bring me a letter, and I will go to your side. If you run like this, how can you get the tire gas? The ninth brother-in-law is far away in Guizhou, and he is fighting with the Miao barbarians, you can't let him lead the two heads with one heart, right? ”

Fu Tingyun said with a smile: "The ninth master is not at home, I want to bring Youyou and Brother Xi to you for the Dragon Boat Festival." I was afraid that you would not agree, so I had to come uninvited. ”

She is a heavy month, and the third cousin would rather take spring cakes and them to Shijia Hutong for the Dragon Boat Festival than agree to let her bring the children over.

The third cousin knew Fu Tingyun's thoughts as soon as she heard it, and she was grateful and happy, but she still glared at her and said, "Your brother-in-law is not a person made of glass, if you can't go through this little thing, how can you go far in your career?" You don't have to worry about it. Dragon Boat Festival, our family went to your place for the festival. After speaking, I was afraid that Fu Tingyun would be verbose, so I said straightly, "This matter is settled." You don't need to say more. Then he squatted down and hugged Yoyo, and asked Brother Xi'er, who was held in the arms of the nurse, with a smile: "The third aunt made Poria cream, you go with the third aunt to eat Poria cream, okay?" ”

"Good!" Brother Xi'er's eyes were like paint, and he responded loudly, full of energy, which made people feel refreshed when they heard it.

Yo Yo nodded in the arms of her third cousin.

The third cousin looked at it, and her eyes immediately smiled into Yueya'er, and praised Brother Xi'er, "This child is really well raised." touched Brother Xi'er's head again and hugged Youyou. Turned around and entered the door of the weeping flowers.

Spring cakes and Lantern Festival hurriedly followed.

Fu Tingyun had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and followed.

The two sisters sat down in the inner room, and the maid served a table full of pastries and snacks, and Brother Xi ate with bulging cheeks.

Yoyo is a girl after all. I took a small shortbread and ate it slowly with a handkerchief.

Spring Cake and Lantern Festival each ate two pieces of alabaster and sat aside to drink tea. The spring cake was a little better, and Lantern Xiao stretched her neck and looked at Brother Xi.

Fu Tingyun took two shortbreads for Spring Cake and Lantern Festival.

Spring Cake said that he was not hungry, and Lantern Xiao swallowed his saliva and said that he didn't like to eat shortbread.

It's clear that the third cousin is strictly controlled!

Fu Tingyun smiled and asked Lantern Xiao: "Then what do you like to eat?" Aunt Nine will bring it to you. ”

"Me. I don't like to eat anything! Lantern Xiao glanced at her mother and rejected Fu Tingyun pitifully.

Each family has its own rules, and Fu Tingyun is not good at wanton destruction. I had to pretend not to see it, and told my third cousin about the Dragon Boat Festival: "...... After all, it's the Dragon Boat Festival, go to Shijia Hutong. I wonder if the third brother-in-law will agree? ”

"Your third brother-in-law is not such a pedantic person, and he can still tell the truth from falsehood!"

As he was talking, the third cousin sent the news of Fu Tingyun's mother and son's visit to the third brother-in-law's eldest maid and said, "The master said." It's rare for Mrs. Nine to come here. Let grandma entertain her, the lord has sent someone to Penglai Pavilion to book a table. ”

It stands to reason that the female dependents have their own people in the house to entertain.

The third cousin felt that her sisters didn't need to be so exquisite. The third brother-in-law should come in and say hello, and he thought that his husband had been socializing these days. I didn't know if I wanted to go out later, so I asked the maid, "What is the master doing?" ”

The maid replied with a smile: "The seventh aunt is here, and the seventh aunt is talking in the study!" ”

The third cousin couldn't sit still when she heard this.

The Su and Bai families are both generations of eunuchs, although there has never been that kind of third-grade officials, but there are many fifth- and sixth-grade officials, and the in-laws and old friends are all over the government and the opposition. These days, many things rely on the seventh brother-in-law's running.

I don't know what news the seventh brother-in-law brought this time?

Fu Tingyun naturally knew why the third cousin was sitting on pins and needles, and said with a smile: "Or, the third cousin will go and say hello to the seventh brother-in-law?" ”

None of them are outsiders!

The third cousin thought about it for a while, and then responded.

"Then you sit here, and I'll come when I go." She said apologetically.

"It's okay," Fu Tingyun said with a smile, "I'll rest in your house first." ”

The third cousin nodded and went to the third brother-in-law's study.

Fu Tingyun asked about the homework of spring cakes.

Spring cakes answer one by one.

Fu Tingyun was secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, at a young age, Spring Cake has already finished reading "University" and "The Mean".

Fu Tingyun asked him a few more questions, and he answered them all remarkably. Fu Tingyun couldn't help nodding secretly, chatting with him with a smile, knowing that he still had to write five hundred big characters every day, he couldn't help but ask him softly: "Are you tired?" ”

Chun Cake was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm not tired." My dad had to write 2,000 words a day. I only wrote five hundred words. ”

I have already passed the Jinshi, and I still write and practice 10,000 words every day.

Fu Tingyun couldn't help but be embarrassed.

It seems that the third brother-in-law is a real learner!

No wonder the second aunt disregarded the eyes of others and married the third cousin with a large dowry to the third brother-in-law who was still a widower.

After about a stick of incense, the third cousin turned back, but her face was not very good.

Fu Tingyun supported the children to go out to play.

The third cousin did not object.

Yoyou blinked her eyes and asked her third cousin, "Third aunt, can I bring a few shortbreads out to eat?" ”

The third cousin smiled at Yo Youqiang: "Of course you can!" He instructed the servants around him to leave a few pastries for Fu Tingyun, and asked them to bring the other snacks and fruits to the ear room next to them.

The children laughed and went to play in the ear room next to it.

Fu Tingyun immediately leaned over and asked a little anxiously, "What did the seventh brother-in-law say?" ”

"Don't mention it," the third cousin said dejectedly, "I'm afraid I can only let it out!" ”

Some Beijing officials, if they feel that their careers do not develop greatly, will also seek to be released and strive to be in charge.

Fu Tingyun said: "Isn't there a good errand to be released?" ”

The third cousin nodded: "In addition to the county orders of several small counties in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guangxi, there is a position of the main body in Tai'an, a county position in Luliang, and a judge's position in Linfen...... And there are good and short things like Jurong Zhubo, Shaoxing County Order, and Wuhu County Order. The protégés of the elders have long been eyeing each other, and your brother-in-law's master was a favorite of the first emperor. Now it's just a life in Dali. Although there are some old relationships, helping to plan the county orders of a few small counties, if you want him to show the strength to take care of the family, I am afraid that your brother-in-law will rely on his relationship. It's a little bit close. ”

Fu Tingyun bowed slightly, and said, "What about Jingli?" Isn't there anything unsatisfactory? ”

"Why not?" The third cousin said, "The imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the experience of the General Administration, and the canon of Taichang Temple...... It's all pretty good, and the ministry even vacated a position in the middle of the matter. She said, with a hint of disappointment. It's just that your brother-in-law has less help in the court, and the seventh brother-in-law has a weak heart, so if he stays in Kyoto, at most he is just a petty official like the Guanglu Temple Dianbo Hall. ”

Fu Tingyun remembered that he went to the left of the ministry.

Among the six ministries, they do not belong to any of the yamen. The chief of the palm print gives things but seven grades, and the left and right give things in the middle of the seven grades. Although the rank is very low, he has the right to directly give advice to the emperor. He is in charge of the attendants, admonishes, mending, picking up relics, and inspecting the affairs of the six departments. Where the edict is proclaimed, the major events are repeated, and the small matters are issued; There is a loss. Feng also performed. The upper chapter of the internal and external institutes is sparse, classified and copied, and the department is signed and corrected.

Many of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China have gotten up from giving things - you are just how capable you are. You have to let the emperor know that you are the only one to do it!

What's more, in the affairs of the officials, it is the promotion and deposition of hundreds of officials. The rights are even greater.

She thought for a while and said, "If you are planning to give the ministry a left, where is the difficulty?" ”

The third cousin was stunned for a moment, struggled for a moment, and said, "This errand is too eye-catching, your brother-in-law can't do it in terms of connections and qualifications...... I didn't plan this errand in the first place......"

Fu Tingyun felt that the third cousin seemed to have something unspeakable.

She pondered, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work." My sister told me the truth, but I thought about it in my heart, otherwise, my eyes were black, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it even if I wanted to try. ”

The third cousin hesitated for a long time before gritting her teeth and saying, "Elder Yu Ge is planning this position for his son......"

"Elder Yu Ge?" Fu Tingyun was stunned.

The third cousin nodded.

Fu Tingyun said curiously: "Isn't he in the pedestrian division?" The pedestrian division is no worse than the left and right of the six departments! ”

"You don't know," the third cousin said, "the officials are all in the middle of the matter this year, and they are the first scholars after the emperor ascended to the pole, and he is shrewd and capable, and he is very favored by the emperor." There have long been rumors that he will be promoted after two years at most, and with the emperor's stability, if he gets promoted, most of the things will be promoted from the left and right. Even if the emperor doesn't mean this, as long as he passes through the first assistant, he still has a chance. That's why everyone is staring at this position. ”

Fu Tingyun was stunned.

She snorted coldly: "Could it be that just because he is Yu Jingxiu and the son of Yu Ge Lao, we have to wait for death?" As he spoke, he stood up, "Let's go, let's go see the third brother-in-law and the seventh brother-in-law!" ”

The third cousin hurriedly pulled her: "Don't mess around." The Yu family has deep roots, and it is not simple, but it is not as ...... as you think."

Fu Tingyun said with a smile: "We don't understand the things in the officialdom, but the third brother-in-law and the seventh brother-in-law are people who understand. Whether it can be done or not has to be discussed with them. Three stinkers can top one Zhuge Liang. Let's discuss it, maybe we can really find a way! Third sister, don't stop me. Whether it can be done or not, the third brother-in-law and the seventh brother-in-law have to come up with ideas! ”

The third cousin listened and her heart moved.

Zhao Ling has the skill of following the dragon, and he knows more people than them.

The promising Cotai Avenue in their eyes is nothing more than sesame mung beans in the eyes of those big people. If you get a word from the emperor or the eunuch who is the celebrant and the eunuch, don't say that one or so is in the matter, even the county order of Rong County or even the Shandong Senate is not lacking in an errand that is just a gesture, and the officials have to squeeze out a vacancy if they find a way......

For a while, she doubled her confidence and helped Fu Tingyun: "Let's go to the study!" ”
