Lord Li's promotion was very sudden, not only the Li family was surprised, but even Wen Yi was also surprised.

From the deputy commander of the Tiger Benwei to the commander of the Jin Wuwei, on the surface, it is only a half-level promotion, but the meaning is completely different. Although the duties of the two guards are also to guard the palace city, the former guards the periphery of the imperial city, and the latter guards the palace ban. It is said that the former commander was removed from his post last year, and since then he has not been transferred to fill in the position, and Jin Wuwei's affairs are all in charge of the two deputy commanders. For such an important position, it is better to leave it empty than to transfer someone to fill it, which shows how important and sensitive it is. How could the imperial court suddenly give an order and let this errand fall to Lord Li?

Master Li was originally born in the army, started as a small soldier in northern Xinjiang, after several major battles when he was young, killed countless enemies, and suffered large and small injuries, step by step by relying on his own ability to climb to the position of the general of the third grade, by coincidence, the emperor was blue-eyed, and was transferred to the capital as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, which is already a very rare opportunity, and he can go further and become the general of the palace ban, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel weird, not to mention, he entered Beijing to become the deputy commander of the Tiger Benwei, and it was only half a year.

He has no background backer, even his wife from a family has long been cut off from the family, the family is not rich, and the time to enter Beijing is too short, and the usual travel is not extensive, it can be said that he is dedicated to official business, every day early and late return, except for a few colleagues and subordinates, he has not made any friends, and the wife and children at home do not like to go out, the wife is not very familiar with a few people, and rarely interacts with outsiders, only one son is still young, likes to make friends outside, and also knows a few children of the official eunuch and military generals, But they are all half-grown children, and they are not sensible, so it is impossible to have any impact on the affairs of the court. This Lord Li did not stand out at all among the commanders and deputy commanders of the Twelve Guards of the Forbidden Army, and he did not make any great contributions after taking office, why did the imperial court take a fancy to him?

Although Mrs. Li didn't say anything, she was very worried in her heart. Suddenly becoming a high position is not a good thing for her husband, who has no backing background, and may become a target in the eyes of others, but her husband only said that it is okay, he just needs to obey the emperor's orders and act, and he goes out on a business trip as usual, but how can she rest assured? Compared with her husband, she came from a family, and her parents had suffered great changes, so she thought more, and even her children couldn't show her face when they were laughing in front of her, and she was worried all day long.

Seeing this, Wen Yi comforted her and said, "Since it is the emperor's order, the saint has its own reason, why should my cousin think too much?" ”

Mrs. Li sighed: "You children are not sensible, how do you know the risks here?" The former commander Jin Wuwei was dismissed, and I heard that it was because he was involved in the turmoil of the prince's struggle for power, and he also had something to do with King Zheng. This is just a rumor, and I haven't heard of any clear evidence, the saint said that he was dismissed, and he went to prison in a blink of an eye, and there is no follow-up so far, and I don't know if it's life or death. It is said that he was a close confidant of the Holy One before he ascended the throne, and he ended up like this. Our lord has just been transferred back from northern Xinjiang, and he has no foundation in Beijing. ”

Wen Yi didn't think so: "I didn't know that the previous commander was removed for this reason, but now when I hear my cousin's words, I understand a little." Maybe the saint just took a fancy to his cousin's simple background, no friends or party, and his roots in the capital were not deep? Because he has no friendship with many high-ranking officials and magnates, it is possible to be unrestrained and concentrate on the king's affairs. My cousin thought about it, this Jin Wuwei commander is an important position to guard the palace ban, which is related to the net worth and life of the holy family, if you find a general who is inextricably linked with many powerful people to fill it, what if this person is related to some bad intentions? Even if he is loyal to the saint, the saint will inevitably be overhearted. Therefore, it is better to find a cousin like my uncle, who has no contact with anyone and is not familiar with anyone, and can rest assured. And my cousin uncle has been in northern Xinjiang for many years, and he has the courage to kill the enemy, and his loyalty is naturally unquestionable. This is the place of the Holy Wisdom. ”

Mrs. Li was suddenly a little relieved, and when her husband came back from a business trip in the evening, when she told him, Master Li was a little surprised: "This Gu girl is still smart, at a young age, she can actually think of this." ”

Mrs. Li was anxious: "Is it right to say Wen Yi's words like this?" ”

Master Li was noncommittal, but said: "It's not unreasonable, you don't care, don't go to the door at the end of the Huguo Mansion, Sister Chun might as well go." In short, how you acted in the past, you still behave, you don't have to change. ”

Mrs. Li heard that something was wrong: "Could it be ...... Was it recommended by the Shanghai government? She couldn't believe it, "But we just asked the children to go to the mansion to play with the young ladies."

Master Li smiled: "Of course it's not for this. It's okay to tell you, you don't have to tell anyone. Only then did he tell his wife the inside story revealed above.

It turns out that Jin Wuwei has not found a suitable successor since he was vacant last year. The military and the military department recommended several groups of people to go up, the emperor did not approve for some reason, and then the Duke of Hu entered Beijing, and asked when chatting, the emperor only showed his mouth, but it was because he was afraid that the people recommended by all parties were not "simple" enough, and he was worried that it would give people with impure minds the opportunity to reach out to the inner palace and threaten his safety, so he has not decided on the candidate. In the end, he handed over this important task to Hu Guogong, and asked Hu Guogong to recommend a suitable and reliable person.

This is called the difficulty of Hu Guogong. Although he is famous in the army, after all, he has been gone for many years, and among the current generals, how easy is it to find a person who meets the requirements in terms of martial arts and qualifications, and who is not involved with the princes, vassal kings and magnates of all parties? He was annoyed for a long time, and finally when his wife and daughter talked about the small party of a few girls, he found a long-neglected candidate, that is, Li Chunxi's father.

The background is simple, and he has no contact with all the princes, vassal kings, and magnates. The border general of the northern frontier was born, brave, loyal and reliable, and did not like to drill camps, and he was not conspicuous on weekdays, and the most important thing was that he could be transferred to Gyeonggi, or the emperor personally ordered him. Although the emperor forgot about him for a while, he would inevitably be more grateful to the emperor if he gave the order.

Master Li smiled and said: "Some of these words were told to me by others, and some of them were guessed by myself, and tonight they came out of my mouth and into your ears, and no third person will know." You just have to worry about what to do and what else you need to do at home. No matter what happens in the future, after all, I am a person personally promoted by the Holy Lord, and I will never suffer a loss easily. ”

Mrs. Li's eyes widened slightly, but she quickly calmed down: "The other side of the Huguo Mansion ...... Does it really matter? She asked about her husband asking him to keep himself out of the gate of the mansion.

"It doesn't matter." Master Li grinned, "Duchess Guo is just a kind word, but Grandpa Guo knows the severity." Now that I have sat in this position, I should not have a private relationship with these powerful people from now on. Even if others say that I don't understand the Wisdom and Grace Diagram, you can just assume that you haven't heard it. Grandpa Guo recommended me out of public interest, and I only need to remember that the one who has the grace of knowing me is holy, which is enough. ”

Mrs. Li understood, but she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Chun'er...... Why don't you let her play with those ladies anymore? ”

Master Li smiled: "That's not necessary, my daughter used to play with other young ladies, but now let her avoid suspicion, wouldn't it make people worry?" As I said before, as you did in the past, you should continue to do as before, and do not change. Sister Chun'er has always been withdrawn, and she can meet a few friends who can get along well, and she can have a happier life. Just remember to restrain Brother Dong, don't let him fool around with those fools and miss his homework. After a pause, "Your cousin and niece are rare smart children, just how old they are, they think so clearly." Tell the children to get along with her more, if we can learn some exquisite thoughts, we as parents can also rest assured. ”

Mrs. Li responded one by one, the consequences were really calm, she acted as usual at home, and she never revealed any tone to a pair of children, and the people who came and went on weekdays were neither distant nor close, and there was no shortage of etiquette, and she was not neglected because her husband was promoted, and the Huguo Mansion only let the little daughters make friends and play, in addition, it was to give a gift under the big festival. From an outsider's point of view, it is just a face-to-face relationship, and there is no personal friendship between the two families. At the end of the Huguo Mansion, I probably knew it in my heart, and I had already forgotten the preface to inviting her to be a guest often, so I got along lightly.

Lord Li's position as the commander was quickly secured, not only was the saint quite appreciative, but even the thorns under his subordinates were all subdued, and the two deputy commanders were also willing to serve him. Lord Li also received a holy reward for this, and the ministers of the court and the central government also saw the holy will and extinguished their thoughts against him.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li felt more stable in her heart, and when she took a pair of children to chat with Wen Yi at home, she deliberately tried a few times, and found that Wen Yi's mind was stronger than that of girls of the same age, and her temperament was more stable. The seventh aunt was a smart and kind character when she was young, no wonder she was able to raise such an outstanding granddaughter.

Mrs. Li became a little closer to Wen Yi, and often told her daughter in private to get along with Wen Yi more, even if it was to learn some means of getting along with others. The capital is different from Huaicheng and Northern Xinjiang, no matter how people and things are much more complicated, her daughter Chunxi has a cold temperament, and she is not familiar with human feelings, if she meets someone with a wrong mind, she will inevitably suffer. If her daughter can learn Wen Yi to be cautious, she, as a mother, can worry less.

Wen Yi only felt that Mrs. Li was more affectionate to her than before, but she didn't think much about it, but she just said that after getting along for a long time, the relationship would naturally become deeper. Most of her mind was spent keeping an eye on Xiuzhu's movements.

Although Master Lee's promotion was beyond her expectations, it was undoubtedly better than she had originally envisioned. The morning after the imperial court's decree was issued, Xiuzhu was called out, and it was said that a "relative" came to look for her, and she was waiting at the back door. After Xiuzhu came back, his face has been cloudy, and he has a straight face all day long, and he is impatient to do needlework.

On the morning of the third day, another "relative" came looking for her. Xiuzhu had a black face, and only went out after grinding for a while, but when he came back, he looked at Wen Yi with a frightened face, and stopped talking.

Wen Yi couldn't pretend that she hadn't seen it, so she had to ask her, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiuzhu bit her lip, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she knelt down and said, "Miss, the slave's aunt came to look for the slave and maid, and said that it was ...... It was said that the old lady was angry and wanted to take the young lady back."

Wen Yi sneered in her heart, and casually picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's just hearsay, if the Shilang Mansion wants to send someone, how can I not know?" ”

Xiuzhu choked up and said: "The old lady was afraid that the young lady would not agree, so she called her aunt to find the slave and let the slave and maid test the young lady's tone...... Miss, although the slave maid's family is already a member of the sixth room, it can ...... There are also many relatives and elders who are still working as errands in the long house......"

Wen Yi smiled slightly: "This is even more unreasonable, the eldest uncle and grandmother and the eldest aunt clearly promised me to stay here for a few more days, how many days has it been?" Even if you want to send someone to pick me up, there is no reason to be angry, let alone attack your relatives because of this. Don't your aunt listen to the wind and rain and misunderstand the meaning of the master's family, right? Okay, if you don't feel at ease, go back to Shilang's Mansion and go to see your relatives to see if it's a misunderstanding? ”

Xiuzhu was surprised and delighted: "Miss, you ...... Will you let the slave go back? ”

"Why not?" Wen Yi took another sip of tea, "I haven't done anything unseemly, you just have to go back." Just don't forget that I'm still here, just don't go back forever. ”

Xiuzhu hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave just goes back to take a look, and she will come back immediately."

The corners of Wen Yi's mouth curved slightly, and she suddenly coughed and called Dong Kui in: "Mama Zhao went to see her relatives again today?" ”

Dong Kui glanced at Xiuzhu and smiled at Wen Yi: "Isn't it?" Mama was so happy that she listened to Mrs. Li's tone, the Mrs. Qianhu was very enthusiastic, and said that she would give the family to the Li family. Mrs. Li has been busy calling people to come these two days, planning to buy a house and give it back to her family."

"It's a great event." Wen Yi smiled, "When Mama's relatives come to her cousin's house, she can feel more at ease." Then he asked casually, "In this case, when I go out with Sister Li the day after tomorrow, I don't have to let my grandmother accompany me, this time I have to go out of the city, maybe I have to live in the suburbs for a day, my grandmother is old, don't be tired of her." We just have to listen to my cousin's mother. ”

Dong Que responded, Xiuzhu was secretly taken aback: "Is Miss going out again?" Going out of town this time? ”

Wen Yi nodded: "It was decided when I went back to the tea party, and the sister of the Cha family was the east, and invited us to play in the Zhuangzi outside her house." Several young ladies from the Huguo Mansion and the Long family are going," he said and smiled, "The younger brother of the Li family will also accompany him, saying that he wants to protect me and Sister Li."

She and Dong Que laughed together, but her eyes secretly glanced at Xiuzhu, and when she saw the latter's face showing a different color, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
