Chapter 302: Joy and Sorrow (1)

Ming Fei only felt that her heart was pounding, and she hurriedly got up and said, "Who is here to report the news?" Let him in."

"Grandma, it's a villain. (Apex hand-beaten)" came but a little guy named Fuquan who was only twelve or thirteen years old outside the second gate, smiled and saluted everyone, and said: "Grandma, it was Beijing who sent someone here, and the master of the in-laws stayed in Beijing to serve."

When Hua Pozi and the others heard it, they all congratulated Ming Fei.

Ming Fei was surprised and delighted: "What kind of position can you say?" ”

Fuquan touched his head and said, "This villain doesn't know." ”

Hua Wan said: "Hurry up and go home." Here I am. ”

When Mingfei returned home, Xue Minggui greeted him and said with a low smile: "Grandma, it is the chief steward of the in-laws who came with him, and he brought a total of three or four people, more than a dozen cages, all of them were beaming. The in-laws have survived this time, and he has served as a waiter in the ministry. ”

Ming Fei hurriedly said, "Who is accompanying you?" ”

Xue Minggui said with a smile: "The villain saw that it would take some time for his grandmother to come back, so he took it upon himself to invite the master to come over to accompany him." ”

Gong Zhongsu first heard that it was from the Cai family in Jingli, and he was reluctant to come over, and scolded Ming Fei for not waiting at home, and he ran out all day long, and he was more concerned about the master of the Sanqing Ancestor than the old man in his own house, which was really unruly. But later, when he heard that he was here to report the good news, he subconsciously thought that Gong Zhongsu must have had something good, so he hurriedly changed the clothes of the guest and came over to entertain the guest with a spring breeze on his face.

When Ming Fei arrived at the main hall, he saw Gong Zhongsu sitting at the top, and Sun Mingjie, the most powerful and trusted chief manager around Cai Guodong, was sitting brightly dressed at the bottom, and was talking to Gong Zhongsu about the Cai family's new mansion: "The mansion is in Fengchi Hutong, although it is not big, but it is given by the emperor, and the saint also rewarded a plaque, there is a drunken stone in it, I heard that it is an antiquity of the previous dynasty, like a big buffalo, and the most unusual thing is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer...... My lord likes it the most. In the past six months, my lord took advantage of his free time to search in many ways, and finally invited a west seat to the two sons, so that he could not let that Mr. Lu You be more than that, my lord means, if the second son of the house does not dislike it, he can live at home, study with the two little sons, and take care of each other. ”

Gong Zhongsu's eyes lit up, and he pretended to excuse himself: "It's enough to trouble the child's uncle to go to the academy to study, how can you be embarrassed to trouble your in-laws' house again" Seeing Ming Fei standing at the door, he smiled and said: "Big * milk, it's really a great joy." Now everyone is at ease. ”

Ming Fei secretly thought that this time her heart was also settled, and the ridiculous thing of sending concubines would probably not be done again.

Sun Mingjie hurriedly stepped forward to salute Ming Fei: "The third aunt and grandmother are fine." The old man was afraid that others would not be clear, so he sent a villain to run this trip. Seeing that Mrs. Hua hugged Shu Mei aside, and was also smiling and wanted to go forward to kowtow to Shu Mei, Ming Fei hurriedly asked someone to stop him: "The child's family, where can he afford such a big gift." ”

Sun Mingjie smiled: "No matter how small you are, you are the master." As he spoke, he took out a jasper cicada tied with a red rope from his arms and handed it to Shu Mei: "The gadgets bought in Beijing are for Miss Sun to play with." ”

The jasper cicada is crystal clear, but it is not a casual thing. Gong Zhongsu looked sour on the side, secretly thinking that Cai Guodong was really promoted and made a fortune, and he didn't know how he got it, he only spent money when he became an official, and others made money when they became officials. is such a minion, as soon as he makes a move, he turned out to be a jasper cicada, how can this person compare with a person? At the moment, he was a little interested, and excused: "There are still some things in the shop, since you are back, I just listened to Manager Sun tell you about your mother's family." ”

Ming Fei didn't take it to heart, and respectfully sent him out of the second door, asked people to drive to pick up the third aunt, and ordered the kitchen to slaughter chickens and fish, ready to pick up the wind and dust for Sun Mingjie and others.

Waving off irrelevant people, Sun Mingjie respectfully took the letter from his arms and handed it to Ming Fei, and said: "The master has really lived a hard life, even the eldest son, and he is often squeezed out when he is on errands. In the past, there were several families who liked to invite Miss Six as guests, and they no longer posted to Miss Six, and occasionally met in the homes of acquaintances, and they would be ridiculed. The sixth lady is also sensible, she doesn't cry or make trouble, she follows her wife all day long to learn about family affairs, and helps the young lady take care of the little son, not the family, and she doesn't go out at all. The eldest prince took a fancy to a piece of land and wanted to buy it for Miss Six to make a dowry, the deposit was paid, the contract was written, and he had to go to the government to file it, and he was taken away by someone, the young lady was so angry that she cried, and the lady couldn't persuade her, but the sixth lady persuaded her. ”

Sun Mingjie smiled bitterly, "To put it mildly, during that time, it was those of us who were subordinates, and we didn't dare to go out if we had nothing to do, even if we went out, we were all people with our tails between them, for fear of causing trouble to the master." ”

Ming Fei was very uncomfortable when he heard it, and he only knew that Cai Guodong's life would not be any better, but he always thought that he was just an outgoing official from the third grade, although he was one of Mrs. Zhong's protégés back then, but compared with those powerful people in Beijing, it was really insignificant. At most, people said that he didn't know each other, who knew that he would be so angry, it seemed that the situation at that time was far more complicated than she imagined.

Sun Mingjie saw that Ming Fei was sad, and said with a smile: "Aunt and grandma are not sad, now it can be regarded as a bitter end." ”

Hua Pozi said indignantly: "Our master usually doesn't offend anyone, why are these people so ruthless?" ”

Sun Mingjie said with a smile: "That's not to offend anyone or not to offend anyone, it's to add to our lord's blockage and force our lord, if our lord didn't hold on at that time, where would there be today's glory and wealth?" ”

Sun Mingjie was not very easy to say a lot of things, so he told Ming Fei a story vividly, an official surnamed Xu was also one of Zhong Taifu's protégés, at that time, among Zhong Taifu's protégés, his prestige and official were greater than Cai Guodong, and he was already a political envoy. After Zhong Taifu's death, he also went to mourn, but after the condolences, he did not return to his place of office immediately like Cai Guodong, but quietly stayed in Beijing to carry out activities. Mingli and the people of Zhu Guogong interacted, and behind his back, he also interacted with the people of King Zhao.

Seeing the spring breeze proudly, the emperor's illness suddenly improved, but a few days of effort, Yu Shitai impeached him for dereliction of duty, leaving his post without permission, and accused him of forming a party for personal gain, corruption and bribery, conniving at the murder of domestic slaves, and even his sons and nephews ate wine and listened to dramas during the period of great filial piety, and the matter of giving birth to a son was dug out by someone to dig out three feet from the ground, and all of them were counted on him, Long Yan was furious, and he ordered him to be imprisoned with his family and his children on the same day. There is also Chen Yushi, the official is still doing it, but for a trivial matter, he was arrested for a loss of honor in front of the emperor and ordered to think about it at home.

These two people are just representative figures, and there are many, many small people in and outside the palace. But the crown prince, the prince of Zhuguo, and the king of Zhao were all praised by the emperor, especially the king of Zhao, who not only praised him, rewarded him with countless gold and silver silks, but also asked him to assist the prince in managing the salt transportation. At present, it seems that the faction that relies on King Zhao in Beijing is more popular than the people on the side of Zhu Guogong.

Ming Fei sighed when he heard this, thanks to Cai Guodong holding on, otherwise his official career would have ended. But when she heard the emperor praise Cai Guodong and said that Cai Guodong was the most loyal and upright and a good minister, she couldn't help laughing and endured a stomachache. Cai Guodong is a person, when it comes to talent and means, he will never be as good as Cui Min, but if you talk about being smart, he is a big handful, with many eyes and a keen sense of smell, he is the best at seizing the opportunity, the most capable of praising people, not to mention anything else, just look at how comfortable Mrs. Zhong was praised by him back then.

After Sun Mingjie finished reporting the affairs at home, he suddenly straightened his face and said, "Third aunt and grandmother, the master still has something to say to you, you can read the letter first." If there is anything you don't understand, ask the villain again. ”

Seeing his cautious expression, Ming Fei hurriedly opened the letter and read it. [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
