Chapter 269: Wen Liang won the office

The good news of Wenliang's victory immediately spread throughout the entire Shilang Mansion. Old Madam Yu and Old Madam Lu were both shocked, and they all helped the girl out of the main house, and asked the girl: "Carefully tell me what kind of official the second young master gets?" ”

When the girl saw this battle, she also beat a little drum in her heart, and said timidly: "It's the order of Sudong County, Zhengqipin, and the ministry has already issued a document to ask the second young master to take office within two months." The eldest master and the second young master were both in front, and the second young master's servant rushed over from home to report the news, and the eldest master immediately asked someone to send the message to the inner courtyard......"

Old Madam Lu couldn't stop being happy on her face, and nodded again and again: "Okay, good" Wen Yi helped her and said happily: "Grandmother, we have to celebrate the second brother" Old Madam Lu said busily: "It's the girl, I want to go back to help with the cooking, you have nothing to do, come over every day to help with it." I'm afraid I'm going to be busy for a few days. "Wen Yi has experienced it once before in Liu Dongxing's affairs, and she has already gained experience, so she is busy and happy.

When Jiang and Duan arrived, they were already a step slow, but they all got the news, and congratulated the old lady Yu in unison, and Jiang immediately said that he would personally help Wen Liang manage the affairs of human relations, and when he learned that Wen Yi had taken it, he felt very sorry in his heart, but he was not discouraged, and still expressed his willingness to go over to help.

She is old, has a lot of experience, and is much more experienced than a young daughter-in-law like Wen Yi in dealing with people, and she knows in her heart that the Gu family so far only has a serious official position on Master Gu and Wen Xian's father and son, and the others are at most a jinshi or a title, and no one is really lacking.

Duan's thought was different. Now seeing that the second master Gu is about to become an official, there are three officials in the long house, and he is two generations of in-laws with the scholars of the current dynasty, the momentum is soaring, as the bad influence of the civil unrest gradually disappears, after a long time, the position of the head of the clan is very likely to be regained. The biggest disadvantage of Changfang now is that there are no adult men who can stay in their hometown to preside over clan affairs, but as long as there are three officials, this disadvantage is nothing, and she can come forward herself. However, now that the sister-in-law of the second room has also become an official, and the fourth master Gu can concentrate on taking care of the affairs of the clan, it is difficult to say.

With a frown, the Duan clan had already made a decision. Since Wenliang in the second room has become an official body, and there is still a real shortage, the position of the patriarch will be put aside for the time being, and he will concentrate on finding a real shortage for his husband, at least until the expiration of his three-year term, and then seek a future. In this way, the relationship between Mrs. Wan's side is crucial, and thinking of her niece daughter who is still delusional about climbing high branches, Duan's face sank. Mrs. Wan must not be offended here, if the dead girl is really unwilling, then think of an excuse to push this family, saving you from marrying and marrying an enemy, just this excuse to shirk, you really have to think about it......

Not to mention that the two wives have their own thoughts, and the old lady has the highest status among the people present, and her thoughts are even more complicated. Yu Gong, she is the ancestor of the Gu family, and it is naturally a good thing that the Gu family has another real lack of officials, but it is private, which means that the clan is no longer the dominant one in the long house, which is not good news for the long house. Now that the three people in the long room are out, the daughter is also married to a high-ranking official, but the second room has the position of the patriarch, and there is a real shortage of officials, and the status in the clan will only rise more and more. The eldest son is not young, he has been sitting on the squire for so many years, and he has not made any great achievements on the table, and if he wants to go further in the future, he is afraid that it will not be easy, and when he retires, the second son and the eldest son are still hovering in the low ranks, and the transcendent status of the long house is afraid that it will go back forever

Liu Gu followed her mother's side, and she also had similar thoughts in her heart, but what she cared more about was that she just felt that Liufang and Wenliang were nothing great, and in the blink of an eye, Wenliang became a real official, as if God was beating her in the mouth. After all, she has lived in the capital for a long time, and she also knows a little about the people in the place of the Ministry of Officials, and knows that she came up from a place like Wenliang, and she is still a third-class Tongjinshi, if she doesn't rely on it, it will be impossible to find such a good real shortage, but she knows in her heart that her husband will never bother for Wenliang, and her brother Gu is probably more concerned about his son's future, so whose way does Wenliang take? Could it be that he really took shit luck and climbed the mountain? And her husband told her not to offend her mother's family, did she hear any news?

Thinking about it like this, Liu Gu had to get serious, and his eyes looked at Wen Yi several times, but in the end he still stopped his eyes on Old Madam Lu.

It didn't take long for Master Gu to take Wen Xian and Wen Liang to the backyard. With a smile on his face, he exuded joy, and saluted to Old Madam Yu with some excitement: "My son has seen his mother. Thanks to his mother's Hongfu, Liang Ge'er received the official document today and has been awarded the title of Sudong Zhi County. The son came to tell his mother the good news. ”

"Rejoice, rejoice." Seeing that her son was so happy, Old Madam Yu also smiled, and looked at Wen Liang with love in her eyes, "Brother Liang has such a blessing, but remember to do things well and serve the court." ”

Wen Liang's face was also full of smiles, but he tried his best to hide a little, but he really couldn't hide it, hearing Mrs. Yu's words, he hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, and after kowtowing to Mrs. Yu, without waiting for her to speak, he knelt down again and kowtowed to Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, showing a look of relief: "This is your own earned future, you must cherish it, when it comes to the task, you must not act rashly, let alone be corrupt If you live up to the expectations of the imperial court, do something to oppress the people, and tarnish the reputation of the Pingyang Gu family, my wife is the first to spare you."

Wen Liang hurriedly said: "Sixth uncle and grandmother rest assured, the nephew and grandson have read the sages since childhood, and the parents and teachers have always taught the nephew and grandson the truth of how to behave in a way, and the nephew and grandson dare not say that after taking office, they will definitely do great things, but they will never do evil deeds that damage the reputation of the ancestors." ”

Old Madam Lu nodded with satisfaction: "Let's look at it, as long as you always remember what you said today, your uncle and grandmother will be relieved." ”

Wen Liang grinned and looked at Wen Yi: "Ninth sister, my brother lives alone now, and there are no elders in the family to help with some personal contacts. ”

Wen Yi pursed her lips and smiled: "Second brother, don't worry, not only did my grandmother say that she would move back to help you, but I would also go over every day to help." He glanced at Jiang again, "The eldest aunt also said that she would come to help." ”

Wen Liang was overjoyed, and hurriedly gave a big gift to both the Jiang family and Wen Yi: "Thank you aunt, thank you ninth sister." ”

Jiang smiled and waved his hand: "What kind words did you say?" It's all family. Wen Yi also nodded in agreement.

Master Gu has been smiling and standing on the side, seeing this scene, his heart can't help but move, he looked at his wife seriously, and saw that she didn't seem to be pretending, but a little really happy for Wen Liang, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Although Jiang's temperament is softer and he dotes on his children too much, he still has a clear distinction in the overall situation, and it is not in vain that she has sat in the position of the sect wife for many years. In contrast, the smile on the face of his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law Duan looked a little absent-minded.

The thought had only turned in his mind, and he saw the expression on his mother's face, and he was stunned for a moment, his expression changed, and he quickly turned his head, thinking that he was just dazzled.

There was such a big happy event, and it was the joy of Wen Xian, the fifth lady of the Gu family's room, and the Shilang Mansion held another banquet that night to celebrate it. It's just that Wen Liang was anxious, and wanted to rush back to the small courtyard of his house as soon as possible, take a good look at the documents sent by the officials, and be busy packing up and saying goodbye to friends, so he refused to stay overnight in the Shilang Mansion, and sent Mrs. Lu back overnight. Wen Yi took the servant home by herself, and immediately ordered someone to pack some of her grandmother's luggage, and the next morning, she personally took it back to her parents' house. However, Mama Zhao is old, and Wen Yi asked her to stay for the time being and help sit at home.

For four or five days in a row, the smile on Wen Liang's face never disappeared. Whether it is the same year or a classmate, they are very envious of his good luck, you know, the top three fellow jinshi, can be awarded such a fat shortage, it is really rare. They all thought that it was Master Gu, who was in a high position, or Lord Liu, a scholar in the court, who had helped his nephew, but Wen Liang knew that this was not the case, and he had been a little discouraged since the results of the palace examination came out, thinking that he would have to get an official position no matter what, whether it was a real or a false title, he always had to have a name, so that he could go back to see his father. With this in mind, he didn't focus on those good and bad things, the eldest uncle and Uncle Liu, he didn't even think about asking for help, where did he think that such a big piece of pie would fall on his head? He had knocked on the side of the officials of the ministry, but he could not get the gist of it, and in the end only the old chief advised him not to waste any more effort, saying that the appointment was "originally intended from above".

This sentence made Wen Liang scratch his head, but he also knew that it was not good for him to inquire further. After getting such a good official position, he was also satisfied, and decided to leave as soon as possible, first go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, report to his parents about his experience in the past few months, and then bring some people to take office. If it is suitable, maybe he can marry back to a wife room before he takes office.

After making up his mind, he came to see Mrs. Lu: "My nephew and grandson are going back to Pingyang, what are the plans of the sixth uncle and grandmother?" If you continue to stay in Beijing, it is better to quit the house here and move to live with the ninth sister, if you want to go back to Pingyang, the sixth uncle and grandmother will go with their nephews and grandchildren, and there will be a good response on the way. ”

Old Madam Lu hesitated. She has been away from home for a few months, and now that her granddaughter has successfully married, the long house has also changed her attitude, and even the other side of the bachelor's mansion has lost her arrogance, and she should go home.

It's just that if she wants to leave her granddaughter so soon and see each other again, she doesn't know when it will be, where is she willing to do it?

Wen Yi had breakfast at home and took care of some housework as usual, so she took the girl to the Gu family's courtyard by car, and only then did she enter the inner courtyard and met a hollyhock. Dong Que invited her to a corner and quietly told her what Wen Liang had said to Mrs. Lu.

Wen Yi was stunned for a moment. If she asked what she meant, she would naturally prefer her grandmother to stay in Beijing for a few more days, but she also knew that it was impossible for her younger brother to be separated from her grandmother for a long time. She was in favor of her grandmother's step-brother to the seventeenth brother, so that the old man would have someone to take care of in the future, if it was because the grandparents and grandchildren had been separated for a long time and their feelings were weak, and the seventeenth brother could not devote himself to his grandmother, it would be her sin.

Wen Yi frowned, and Dong Que whispered: "Miss, the old lady hasn't made up her mind yet." But if she really wants to leave, you will have to stay in the capital alone. There was a faint worry between her eyebrows, Wen Yi saw it, her heart was a little moved, and she smiled: "It's okay, you can go down and talk to Qiuguo and them." ”

Dong Lai nodded, and pulled Qiu Guo to the side of the ear room, but he walked all the way, returning three or four times along the way.

Wen Yi entered the main house, and saw Mrs. Lu leaning on the couch, her face was still a little worried, and when she came in, that bit of worry disappeared completely, leaving only a faint look of love: "Coming?" These days are free, and you don't have to go back and forth every day, so why not stay at home to recuperate? Don't rely on your youth to ignore your body. ”

Wen Yi heard this, her nose was sore, so she threw herself over, fell into her arms, and choked up: "Grandmother, granddaughter is reluctant to ...... you"

Old Madam Lu was stunned and smiled: "Silly girl, how can grandmother be willing to give you up?" She thought for a while, "I know that now that I have an heir, I naturally want to be closer to each other, so as not to be intimately with my children in the future." But you are my own flesh and blood, if I leave you, in case I suffer any grievances, I will know in the future, I will be distressed to death, it is better to watch closely, and I can help when I encounter something, but it is better than being far away, I can only listen to the news. You don't hate your grandmother getting in the way, do you? ”

Wen Yi was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said, "Grandmother is willing to stay?" ”

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "Let's stay for a few more months, I want to watch your little couple reunite, and you have someone to take care of me, so I can rest assured." Besides, it's getting hotter and hotter this time, and if I go back to the south, it's only going to get hotter and hotter, so how can I stand it along the way? If you want to go, you have to wait until the weather is cooler before ......."

Wen Yi didn't wait for her to finish, she had already hugged her waist tightly, and two lines of tears of joy crossed her eyes: "Good grandmother, as long as you are willing to stay, you can say anything"

Mrs. Lu was hugged tightly by her, and quickly pulled down her face and slapped her face a few times, and scolded with a smile: "Let go of my old bones and really kill me."

Wen Yi realized that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly let her go, and smiled embarrassedly.

Mrs. Lu glanced at her before she said: "Grandmother is not all for you, there is still something to do in the capital, your eldest brother is married, why do we have to take a hand, and your fifth sister...... Besides, if your second brother is gone, if you return this house, what will happen to the people brought from your hometown? Could it be that Chengdu stuffed it into your house? There is no reason why when you got married, you were in too hasty, and you only brought four girls to marry, and you didn't have a family, which was really inconvenient. Also, since you have settled in Beijing, how can you not have one or two properties? You're young, you don't know how important it is, and you still need your grandmother to help you with these big things, if I go back at this time, you're afraid that you'll suffer a big loss, and you don't know."

Wen Yi lowered her head and snickered, curtsied, and responded: "Yes, my granddaughter obeys her grandmother's orders."
