Not long after, Wei and Gu went to the official room together.
The old lady said to Wang Linzhi: "Good boy, it's really hard for you!" ”
Wang Linzhi was slightly stunned.
The old lady's smile became more and more obvious, "If it weren't for your behind, how could your father-in-law, a person who resigned from the government, become a secretary of the ministry?" ”
This, she really didn't interfere, but when she entered the palace, she briefly mentioned to the queen that she was going back to Zheng County to visit her in-laws, but she didn't expect to receive such a big surprise.
Of course, she didn't think that the six princes promoted Gu Yan to the rank of secretary in order to please her.
After all, he was the head of the six departments, in charge of the appointment and transfer of officials in the whole Great Zhou, and since the six princes chose Gu Yan, they would definitely have his reasons.
"When the lord was doing the assassination history, his political performance was quite good, otherwise the emperor would not have transferred him directly to the ministry as an errand boy, he was also diligent in the ministry of officials, and there was never a little difference, let alone in Guangzhou, the last time Mao Dingzhong rebelled, many places were in chaos, only Guangzhou was stable, and when the Mao thief was pacified, the lord also made great efforts, although His Majesty did not reign for a long time, but he knew people, and the lord can finally show his strength now." Wang Linzhi said.
The old lady laughed, "Even if he deserves a good assassination history, but there are too many assassins in the Great Zhou, if you hadn't recommended Erlang in front of the first emperor at that time, the emperor wouldn't have remembered his father at all." As for the ministry, he has no back, and the other has no hands, if it weren't for the eldest princess to be the matchmaker and marry your sister-in-law, Cui Shangshu could help him? Not to mention Guangzhou, those are the things that are within the scope of the job. ”
Maxima often exists, but who can guarantee that Maxima will definitely meet Bole?
Although the eldest princess is not Bole, she is married to the Gu family.
The sixth prince has been close to the eldest princess since he was a child, otherwise he would not have been selected by the first emperor to replace Wang Shenyuan to send Wang Linzhi to marry.
If it weren't for Wang Linzhi marrying the Gu family, Gu Yan would not have been able to go to Guangzhou at all, and if he didn't go to Guangzhou, he would not have been able to make political achievements in such a short time, and he would not have been seen by the six princes and entrusted with important tasks.
There are more capable people in the world, and the Ministry of Officials has been in the hands of the Empress Dowager Cui's father, the incumbent Ministry of Shangshu, but the six princes have no own power in their hands, and now the Empress Dowager Cui is dead, but the current queen is the niece of the Empress Dowager Cui, and she is also from the Cui family. In order to prevent the Cui family's power from expanding too much, it is necessary to find a family that can compete with it, it is not difficult to find such a family, the difficulty is to have enough loyalty.
Although the Gu family is difficult to do from Gu Yan to Gu Huan, Gu Yue is very difficult to do, but so far, it is limited to this, Gu Yan's brothers are all more than successful and more than defeated, but the next generation is still underage, with these as a buffer, it is enough for the six princes to slowly lay out.
However, in this way, Gu Yue can only be an empty-handed general with no name and no power in his hands.
That's fine, at least Gu Yue doesn't have to be in danger all day long.
"This is because the emperor values the master's talent, so he is willing to entrust him with important tasks." Wang Linzhi said.
The more proud you are, the more cautious you must be so that you can make fewer mistakes.
After she said this, the old lady also reacted, "Yes, yes, the emperor is wise." ”
Anyway, it can't be wrong to sing praises at any time.
Seeing that the old lady was tired, Wang Linzhi got up and said goodbye.
The courtyard that the old lady built for them is also called Cuiweiju, and the layout inside is exactly the same as Cuiweiju in the capital.
"Steward Rong said that this courtyard was built according to the drawings of Cuiweiju in the capital." Yingluo said with a smile.
The old lady was good to Wang Linzhi, and the subordinates who followed her also felt that there was light on their faces.
"Lord Thorn Shi is here, and the second master and the master are in front of the master to entertain guests." The grapes went back and forth.
This Zheng Tingshi is really relenting!
"Does he have anything to do with the Zheng family?" Wang Linzhi suddenly remembered that the Gu family was married to the Zheng family.
But when the imperial court appoints officials, they generally don't send people to the local area, so she asked.
"It's just the same surname, but it follows the genealogy and joins the clan." Yingluo replied.
This is a habit that has been developed in the eldest princess's mansion, but whenever anyone comes to the house, especially the court officials, the girls will be responsible for inquiring about the details of this person.
Now that Wang Linzhi is married, many of her previous habits are still retained.
While he was talking, Xiang came in.
Wang Linzhi saw her hurried steps, so she asked her subordinates to retreat.
"Mrs. Gu wants to marry us, what do you think?" Mrs. Xiang asked Wang Linzhi straightforwardly.
Although the Zheng family is also a famous family, the Gu family and the Zheng family have already married, and marrying their daughter back is not necessary for political purposes. can directly open your mouth to refuse, which will definitely make the old lady and the Gu family unhappy.
Wang Linzhi said without thinking: "Mrs. Gu is interested in San Lang? Why don't you ask him for his own opinion first? ”
The marriage of a large family generally involves the interests of the family. But Gu Huan and Gu Yue both married the person they liked, and it was the third child's turn, but he could only listen to the elders, which was too unfair to him.
Xiang smiled at Mrs. Xiang, "Then I'll ask." ”
The Gu family is just watching the Gu family get better and better now, but her son marrying his cousin doesn't do any good, if he doesn't like this family business anymore, it will be too much of a loss.
Xiang didn't understand this truth, she just needed someone to support her.
"No matter who the third child marries, you will all have to be concubines in the future, so your opinion is very important, I also asked your sister-in-law, and she also has some objections." And the reasons for the opposition of the two turned out to be similar.
This is because I am afraid that Gu Yan will not be able to make a bad deal there, on the surface, it seems that he respects his daughter-in-law's opinion.
But the two little girls are innocent and rotten, but they are not bad.
"Otherwise, my wife can help my aunt and tell my cousin a good family business." Wang Linzhi suggested.
The Gu family wants their daughter to marry back, not only because they think that the Gu family is not bad now, but also because they are close to each other, so as not to be rubbed by their mother-in-law.
Gu Shi was a little embarrassed, "My lord and I have been running around all these years, and the people we know have already gone from all over the world, and there is no suitable one at all." ”
It is estimated that this is the main purpose of Xiang's coming to her.
"Why don't I help her with a family affair?"
When Mrs. Xiang heard this, she immediately said, "I don't know which one?" ”
"What does Mrs. think of the Xue family?"
Xue Jizu, the second lang of the Xue family, seems to be a little younger than Gu Yue, Gu Yue and her child are almost a year old, Xue Erlang's family affairs have not yet been settled, and Xiao Xue can't help but sigh every time he talks about this.
In fact, Xue Erlang is not too old, but his father, Lao Changhou, died this year, and he has been filial piety for three years, isn't it more than twenty?
It's no wonder that Xiao Xue is anxious for his younger brother.
Xue Erlang has been with Gu Yue for a while now, and Mrs. Xiang is also very familiar with him.
"I don't know if the Xue family will agree." Mrs. Xiang said with some hesitation.
Although the Zheng family is good, the Xue family's family is higher, and the Xue family's daughter is married to the first prince, the younger daughter is married to the princess's mansion, the eldest son is now on the throne, and the second son is now serving in Jin Wuwei, will the Xue family agree to marry the Zheng family?
