So he's been really busy this year.

Since Lu Guogong pulled Zeng Mi's merit ranking to the end, Zeng Mi mentioned to him once that he was invited to speak in front of Ji Zhenyuan and recommend him to the rear military camp, but he just dealt with it casually. But then Zeng Mi and his wife showed perseverance, and the number of walks to the four-leaf alley became more and more frequent.

Zeng Mi naturally began to put aside Ren Ruhua, and frequently "encountered" Xie Rong outside, such as paying for him when he met in a restaurant, and paying for him for the antiques he fancied when he met him in Babao Hutong, Xie Rong did not lack his filial piety, but if he bluntly refused, it would be too faceless. So after going back and forth, many people in the Criminal Department now know that Deputy Envoy Zeng has an inextricable friendship with their boss.

However, in Xie Rong's eyes, Zeng Mi is still just a noble son who is good at drilling, and he will not be overly enthusiastic about him, nor will he deliberately alienate him.

Isn't it just for a post-barracks experience? I think that at the beginning, he also worked hard in the Jin Mansion for a small editing position. Zeng Mi is just one of the people who grovels in front of him for a future, he has endured so many picky and cold eyes and slackness, he will also let Zeng Mi and them all taste, if you don't taste it, how can you cherish such an opportunity, and how can you feel that this position is not easy to come by?

Of course, this can also be seen as a test. If Zeng Mi was sincere and reliable, he wouldn't mind taking him under his door, and now in the Taiping years, it is simply impossible to make a military merit, and if a military attache wants to be promoted, he can only bend his waist lower in front of civilian officials.

And he really needs to cultivate a few contacts for himself.

On this day, Guo Xing passed by Siye Hutong and entered Xie's mansion. Xie Rong entertained him in the gazebo in the back garden.

Guo Xing has been demoted from a third-grade waiter to a fifth-grade official, and his arrogance has decreased a lot in the past six months, first he was reprimanded by Ji Zhenyuan for the matter of prostitutes, and when he returned to the house, he had a lot of trouble with Ji's family, so that the New Year was not good, and it took two or three months before it gradually stopped. Xie Rong often accompanied him, and he could be regarded as surviving.

Xie Rong made him tea and said: "The teacher is ready to move it for you, in the end, you are his son-in-law, and you will not let you be wronged for long." ”

Guo Xing sighed and took the tea, not as excited as he should be.

Xie Rong didn't know how to comfort him. Guo Xing is like walking into a strange circle. He complied with his parents' wishes and married back to Ji's family, and got the blessing from Ji Zhenyuan, which was originally a sure-fire deal, but obviously men wanted more than that. Except for ambition. There are also. With Ji's family, he is destined to sacrifice some others, and Guo Xing has never fought himself. So he played with fire.

While they were talking, Pang Fu said that Zeng Mi and his wife had come to the door.

Guo Xing sat up straight and said, "It seems that this Zeng Mi is ruthless with you." Should I avoid it? ”

Xie Rong paused and said, "No need, I guess he also knows that you are here." ”

Pang Fu took Zeng Mi to the pavilion, and as soon as Xie Rong introduced him, Zeng Mi showed a sudden appearance, and shook Guo Xing to the end: "It turned out to be Lord Guo, look up for a long time!" ”

Guo Xing has been frank all the way in his life, and even if he is demoted now, he is the son-in-law of Ji Zhenyuan, the first assistant minister, and his identity is always different from others, so he has always accepted the sycophants of the subordinates. He raised his hand and arched his hand to Zeng Mi, and invited him to sit on the side of the round table. said: "Doesn't Deputy Envoy Zeng have to go to the Five Cities Camp on an errand today?" ”

Zeng Mi sighed and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of Lord Guo's jokes, since the matter of the investigation of the prostitution hall has ended, the brothers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division have taken turns to take a big vacation, and they are soft-spoken, and they have never taken on any important affairs in the camp. Although it is impossible to repay the burden with hatred, it can only be mixed like this for the time being. ”

Guo Xing and Xie Rong looked at each other and said with a smile: "Deputy Envoy Zeng is at a time when he is full of heroism, how can he say depressing words?" I believe that Lu Guogong is a person who knows people and makes good use of them, and when he has the opportunity, he naturally considers the deputy envoy first. ”

"The younger brother is already old and old, and he is no longer young." Zeng Mi shook his head, and shook his head again: "Don't hide it from Brother Guo, the younger brother is very much looking forward to entering the rear military camp, which is in charge of my entire northern frontier, and will definitely make great achievements." So I also hope that the two adults can support in the next hand, and give the next opportunity to serve the country. In the future, I, Guangenbofu, will definitely advance and retreat with the two adults. ”

Xie Rong was silent.

Zeng Mi used to come over every time he came to make friends, but as soon as he came up today, he made his purpose clear, most likely because he wanted to take advantage of Guo Xing's presence to fight for a better chance of winning. He wants to win over Zeng Mi, this person has a clear purpose, and he is willing to give up this face, and there will definitely be a lot of things worthy of him in the future. Originally, he planned to drag him for a while, but now in front of Guo Xing, he couldn't slack off any longer.

Guo Xing doesn't have a very deep city government, so naturally he couldn't imagine that he wanted to take Zeng Mi under his command, if he was hot-headed and recommended him directly to Ji Zhenyuan, then he would really lose more than he gained. Not only will Zeng Mi not take him seriously in the future, but he will also have a reputation of indifference and indifference among the nobles, which is extremely detrimental to his development of power.

Therefore, Zeng Mi's provocation prompted him to make up his mind.

"I still have something to do with Master Guo today, you can come to the mansion tomorrow to find me."

Zeng Mi got his words, suddenly knew that there was a play, and his heart was ecstatic, and he hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.

Guo Xing looked at him in the distance, retracted his gaze and said, "This person is very exquisite, if you can help him, maybe there will be something available in the future." ”

Xie Rong paused, took the pot to add tea for him, and said with a smile: "It's just that I saw that he has come over so many times, and his foreign family is a world friend with my Xie Mansion, so I can't help but help with this favor." ”

Guo Xing nodded, not doubting it.

Xie Wan quickly learned the news here, and she was preparing to go to Mrs. Wei's appointment.

She called Qian Zhuang over, and before Qian Zhuang could speak, he reported: "Madam, Xie Rong has found a husband for Xie Wei again, and he is also a little non-commissioned officer with no background, and this time he has reached the stage of marriage proposal without making a sound, what should I do this time?" ”

Xie Wan frowned, Xie Rong was really sparing no effort to find minions for himself, but this kind of thing couldn't be repeated. How to stop it for a while? After thinking about it, she said: "Go find a fortune teller, find an opportunity to go to the man's house and talk about it, just say that they don't agree with Xie Wei, and forcibly marrying is afraid of blood." ”

No one would risk their lives to order this family business, but although it can be solved this time, what about next time? You have to think of a way to fix it once and for all.

She played with the hairpin in her hand for a while, then turned around after a while and said, "Is there a reliable person who will say for Xie Wei that the door will not bring us future troubles?" ”

As long as Xie Wei marries someone who can't be used by Xie Rong at all. This one is basically not to be worried.

Qian Zhuang said: "Unless it's a ruffian or a mud leg." But Xie Rong won't agree to such a person! ”

So it's still hard to do.

Xie Wan suddenly felt a little headache. But it's important to do Zeng Mi's side first.

She asked Yuxue to take the letter to Mrs. Wei, went to Fengshu Hutong first, and invited Hong Lianzhu before going all the way to Wei's mansion.

Because she is now labeled as a waste Mrs. Taisun. In the end, it's inconvenient. After all, the less trouble Wei Bin hassle, the better it will be for them. And although this kind of exchange is not a bad rule, the palace can't handle them anything, and they still have to avoid suspicion in the end. That's why she invited Hong Lianzhu to go along.

Xie Lang followed Wei Bin to do things, and he always had a name for taking Hong Lianzhu with him. And although she is Xie Lang's sister, she can't actually hide anything, but sometimes the world is like this, when you think it doesn't matter if you cover it up or not, people may really use this as a reason, and when you have some scruples, the other party will not directly target you.

Entering the flower hall and sitting down, Mrs. Wei led Xie Wan to sit closely, and Hong Lianzhu looked at them with a smile from the side.

Mrs. Wei said, "It's good to be fatter." Is there any movement? ”

Xie Wan's face turned red and shook his head.

Hong Lianzhu said with a smile: "It's still early, and it's not too late to get pregnant next year." ”

Mrs. Wei smiled: "That's the same. Rebirth at an older age is good for both adults and children. He looked at Hong Lianzhu again, "You've been married for almost a year, so you should be ready, right?" ”

Hong Lianzhu blushed and smiled: "Madame has talked about me again." ”

Mrs. Wei pursed her lips and smiled, letting her go.

After greeting for a while, Xie Wan got down to business, "Last time, I asked my wife about the vacancy in the barracks, and I heard that the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were competing, and I asked my wife to help inform Wei Ge Lao, if someone nominated Shi Zengmi, the deputy commander of Nancheng, please think of a way to stop it." ”

Although the vacancies in this battalion are a matter of the Ministry of War, the transfer of the Ministry of War is a matter for the entire court, and Ji Zhenyuan, as the head and auxiliary minister, has a certain weight in speaking in this kind of matter. Before she could attack Zeng Mi, she had to take precautions against this possibility.

Mrs. Wei said: "Isn't Zeng Mi's foreign family the Nanyuan Ren family?" That's not a good guy either. ”

She is not familiar with the affairs of the Xie family now, and she knows a little, and she deeply despises Mrs. Ren's collusion with the Wang family to ambush Xie Wan back then. Unexpectedly, this Zeng Mi is also a person who specializes in crooked ways. It's not that she can't tolerate people who go through the back door, but like Zeng Mi, who knows that Yin Yu is deposed, and Ji Zhenyuan is blatantly supporting Yin Yao, he would rather choose them.

However, everyone has their own ambitions, and it is inconvenient for her to say more.

Thinking of Xie Wan's words, he said: "Since you said this, I understand, and I'll talk to our master when I go back." If you can fight not to let him go, you can fight not to let him go. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, the days are still long, and there will always be a time when they can't get their wish. ”

Xie Wan nodded, "This is natural. ”

She will be prepared for everything, if she doesn't cut off the relationship between Zeng Mi and Xie Rong this time, then she will have other plans. In short, she was reassured here, and she was able to buy more time. (To be continued.) )
