After breakfast the next day, Chen Shifeng went to invite Xie Rong.

As soon as Xie Rong entered the door, he saluted Wei Bin gently, and asked him again: "The moon was dark and cold last night, how did you rest?" ”

Wei Bin also said quietly: "The moon is dark and cold, it is the time to sleep." Thanks to Weiping's care, it is very pleasant to be in your house for a few days. ”

He didn't believe that Xie Ronghui didn't know about his visit to Yifeng Courtyard last night, but if people didn't mention it, he naturally wouldn't mention it.

The two guests sat down, and Wei Bin said: "The old man has to return to Beijing tomorrow, and I invite you to come today for the sake of the children of the two families." ”

Xie Rong's eyes flashed slightly, and he said softly: "Listen to the adults." ”

"I have heard that Ling is virtuous and generous, talented and beautiful, and I also intend to form this Qin and Jin friendship with you. It's just that Siamese is careless, and stubborn, and still ignorant, which is really not a good match for Ling'er. The matter of marriage is stopped. In the coming days, Weiping's official fortune will be prosperous, and he will bring his wife and daughter, so that he can naturally find a better home. ”

When Wei Bin said this, his face was still as warm as usual, but there was solemnity and majesty in his words when facing his subordinates.

Xie Rong sat firmly on the circle chair with his hands on his knees, his eyes looking at the ground, not with a look of amazement, but with a thoughtful expression. In front of Wei Bin's official authority, he didn't even feel uneasy. And his silence also made Chen Shifeng look at Wei Bin.

Wei Bin was unmoved, still sitting upright.

After a moment, Xie Rong sighed slightly, raised his head, and said: "Xiaguan has admired the demeanor of the adult for a long time, and the two families have such a fate, but they can't go further on this basis, which really makes Xiaguan feel regretful." But. Since the adults have made up their minds, the lower officials can only obey. The lower official dared to ask the lord. How should the little girl deal with herself in the future? ”

Wei Bin looked at him slowly: "It's been almost two years since you entered the Hanlin Academy. A few years ago, there was a shortage of waiters in the Hanlin Academy, and there will be a shortage of outsiders in the Ministry of Officials in May next year, which one do you want? ”

Xie Rong was stunned, and the calm on his face finally stiffened into a mirror.

"Don't be surprised, this is what I promised you, and I will do it." Wei Bin looked at him, and there was no trace of joy or anger on his face, "Any one of these two positions is enough for you to climb for five or six years." You make a choice. Since then, there has been no relationship between Wei Xian and Ling Yan. Someone in Beijing squeezed his head for this, if it weren't for the abolition of the grandson this time, the prince would have had no time to pay attention to it recently, and it would not be your turn. ”

If these two positions are given to any one of Xie Rong, he will offend many people, including many royal relatives and nobles. Even if he decided to marry Xie Rong at the beginning, he might not have given him this opportunity, but now that he wants to cut through the mess quickly. The pressure on Xie Fu to let Wei Xian go, and he could only use this to block the mouths of everyone in Xie Mansion.

Last night, he went to the Yifeng Courtyard to meet Xie Wan, and he also hoped that she could give him other methods, but obviously. She also thought that there was nothing more useful than satisfying Xie Rong's desires.

However, after Xie Rong heard this, his face gradually turned blue, and he stared at the ground. His throat was rolling, and there was no joy on his face. It was as if he wasn't getting a promotion. It's a knife that forces him to have nowhere to retreat.

Chen Shifeng looked at Wei Bin again, with a slight stunned look in his eyes.

There was a moment of silence in the room. Only the sound of the autumn breeze blowing through the bamboo leaves outside the window can be heard.

Wei Bin frowned slightly. Chen Shifeng stepped forward and said, "Lord Xie, for the difference provided by our adults, please make a quick choice." ”

Xie Rong sat stunned for a moment before he raised his head, looked at Wei Bin, and suddenly smiled: "Since the adults are raised, then I'll choose the waiter to speak!" ”

As he spoke, he slowly got up, and the smile that remained on his lips looked a little bleak.

Either way, as long as he chooses, it's a good thing. Bin and Chen Shifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Bin stood up: "In this case, Wei Xian will go to Beijing with this official early tomorrow morning." As for the rest, the fatigue is a little calmer. The expenses of the official's father and son who have been bothering the mansion for a few days will also be repaid to your mansion by tomorrow. ”

Xie Rong smiled and was silent.

Things turned out to be much smoother than expected, and Wei Bin was instantly stress-free. After Xie Rong went out, he asked people to pack their luggage and arranged for someone to go to the front station. And Wei Xian learned the news from Tianci, and couldn't help jumping three feet high, grabbed the cloak and went to the Yifeng Courtyard to deliver the delivery, and expressed the sadness of leaving.

Xie Rong returned to Qifeng Courtyard, and it was already nearly noon. Huang was leading the maid to tidy up the closet, and when he saw his dark blue face, he couldn't help but be frightened and hurriedly came up to support him: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xie Rong held on to the edge of the table, waved his hand, and sat down.

Huang had never seen her husband look like this, she didn't know what was going on, she panicked, and hurriedly turned around and asked everyone to go out, and then made a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Lord Wei invited you over, why?" She intuitively felt that it was for Xie Wei's business, but she couldn't imagine that Wei Bin would say something that would make her husband so devastated. Even if the Wei family didn't agree to marry Xie Wei, he had already said that he would seek justice for her, he was a thoughtful person, and he had never made a mistake, she really couldn't imagine what it was.

"He's going to promote me."

He held the teacup in his hand and stared blankly ahead.

"Promotion?" Huang was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "What official?" ”

"The attendant of the Hanlin Academy."

"Waiter?"

Huang stood up, and it seemed that he couldn't withstand such an impact. Xie Rong's current official character is seven grades, and the waiter is only six grades, but the waiter can go to the royal banquet to speak, and is often summoned by the emperor, many important ministers are taken from this step, such an honor, how can ordinary six-grade officials be compared!

Unexpectedly, Xie Rong has only been in the Hanlin Academy for only two years, and he has such a rare opportunity!

"That's a good thing! Why are you the way you are? She became more and more puzzled, suppressed the joy in her heart and asked.

Xie Rong looked at the wall in front of him, "He promoted me to an official in order to refuse the marriage with Sister Wei." ”

Huang was stunned.

It is enough to use such a great opportunity as a condition for refusing marriage. is the marriage of the two families, Wei Bin in order to avoid suspicion. I don't think I'll give him such an opportunity right away. Xie Wei's purpose in doing this was originally to ask him for an opportunity to expand his career, but now the marriage has been fruitless. But even if it is the same way, the goal is always achieved. Why is he unhappy?

"I thought about what he would say about when he rejected me, and I thought about what kind of terms I would have to negotiate with him when he rejected me. I thought about asking him to join the Sixth Department for a free post, and I think he would be able to grant me this at most. But not only did the two vacancies he picked for me be real jobs, but he was also an important position that many people with backgrounds in Beijing couldn't ask for.

"Do you know why I'm sad? I'm thinking, I'm Xie Rong, self-denial, and I want to show my strength and talent in my official career. But in the end, I still became a bastard who sold women for glory! Wei Wei did not hesitate to sacrifice her reputation for me, in order to bring me a powerful Wei Bin. When I knew it, the mistake had already been made, and I had to grit my teeth and seek the best outcome.

"I know that Wei Bin promised to marry us, and he will also want to avoid his relatives, and I want to get help from the Wei Mansion, at least a year or two later, I will encounter a suitable opportunity. I don't want to be promoted in that way. I'm here for Weiwei, I want her to be happy and honored, so I have the cheekiness to take the initiative to ask Wei Bin.

"I wasn't sad that he rejected me. Our sister Wei is not unable to marry from now on. But he didn't even have a chance to make me make a condition, so he stuffed me with such a big apology. And I couldn't say no — I knew at that moment that I was in his eyes. These ten or twenty years of hard work have been in vain! I'm just a shameless person who is good at opportunistic and using my own daughter to seek wealth and glory!

"He hurt my self-esteem, you know? I call myself a clear streamer. I have an enviable noble character in the Jingshi literati circle, but in the eyes of him Wei Bin, I have become a bastard! You don't know how disdainful he looked at me just now! I, Xie Rong, should be respected, how can I be looked down upon like this! ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and by the end it had become an irrepressible roar. His eyes were wide open, and he leaned over on the table, his handsome face distorted with shame, and the teapot and cups and plates on the table had been swept to the ground and shattered.

Huang was speechless, she knew that he had worked hard for so many years, and she also knew that fame and dignity had the supreme position in his heart, but she didn't expect that he would show such a passionate heart because of Wei Bin's words and eyes!

On weekdays, he doesn't care about wealth, he doesn't care about beauty, and even in front of her, he even restrains himself so well in sexual matters, it turns out that all he cares about falls on his pursuit! The only thing in this world that can make him lose control and lose his temper is when others hurt his dignity as a literati.

Looking at such a paranoid husband, Huang felt a little sorry and a little empty in his heart.

He was everything to her, but she was only a small part of him.

"Shuhui."

He turned his head and sat down in his chair, looking at her in prostration, the pain in his eyes that made him look like a lost child.

She looked up, and suddenly her whole body sank into his eyes again. The slight pain that came from the bottom of his heart was also turned into smoke by his gaze. She walked over, hugged him gently, and patted his arm gently: "Han Xin still has the humiliation of his crotch, you are so good, you will definitely be able to rank above people in the future." ”

When you are above people, your world becomes wider, and my place in your heart becomes narrower and narrower?

Huang smiled, but his eyes were shining. He was so fragile under his palm, so attached to her, and tenderness she had never come close to. She is a puddle of water, and from the moment she saw him in this life, she has been soaked in his flesh and blood. Even if her position became narrower and narrower in the future, she willingly hoped that he would get what he wanted.

Xie Rong closed his eyes tightly in her arms: "Shuhui, I will succeed!" I will definitely enter the cabinet to pay respects, and I will give you and Sister Wei the greatest glory! I want you to put on the makeup of the right product in a beautiful way, and accept the respect and envy of the people of the world! I want to use my achievements to snow the shame of my father and daughter being humiliated today! (To be continued.) )
