When Lou Suzhen told Zhu Hao about Mrs. Qiao's delivery of the beauty, the carriage in which the two were riding was close to Jingshi.

Originally, she felt that there was no need to mention this kind of thing to Zhu Hao, anyway, there was nothing "ridiculous", and she didn't take it again, Zhu Hao usually bothered so many things, why bother Zhu Hao with this little thing?

But when she is about to arrive in the capital, she has to summarize a lot of things, after all, she may not be able to see Zhu Hao when she returns to Beijing, and she mentions this matter by the way.

The two of them took the same car, and when Zhu Hao went to Yongping Mansion, it could be said that it was in a hurry, and when he came back, he was slow and leisurely, and he was not in a hurry at all.

「…… If you give it to you, will you take it?"

Zhu Hao lay on the soft pillow and said leisurely.

Lou Suzhen laughed: "Is it because Gongzi wants to accept it himself? Childe knows that beautiful women can be said to be useless."

"Usefulness? Huh."

Zhu Hao couldn't help but wonder, "There are many uses for beauties, even if it's just serving tea and water, isn't it good?" I've already caused a lot of peach blossoms, but I don't have the heart to care about them."

Zhu Hao still looks like an honest junior brother.

But in fact, he has both his wife Sun Lan, Ouyang Fei, who is about to be admitted to the house, and Lu Zhanqing, who is raised in a foreign house, and he also provoked the princess Zhu San before...... Zhu Hao himself doesn't like to deal with things between men and women, he is already anxious at this time, where does he dare to make extraneous branches?

Lou Suzhen said: "Gongzi is back this time, Yang Ge Lao has not left the dynasty yet, but I am afraid that Gongzi will have some trouble."

Zhu Hao didn't answer.

In his original plan, he should wait until Yang Ting and Zhishi before returning to the capital, so that he can roll up his sleeves and do a big job when he comes back.

But in fact, the time for him to return to the capital was two or three months earlier than expected, and Yang Tinghe was still at the point in time when he was about to retreat...... Zhu Hao taught Zhu Si to be patient, and he had to wait six or seven times before he agreed.

Now that Zhu Hao is back, he has to face the big problem of Yang Tinghe suspicion.

Others may not understand this, but Lou Suzhen sees it very thoroughly.

"Looks like Childe has a strategy for coping."

Lou Suzhen's face looked much more relaxed, probably during this time in Yongping Mansion, she didn't have a good time, returning to the capital means that she can have a few days of peaceful life, "If the prince has any orders, just send someone to inform her, and the concubine will be on call."

In the end, Lou Suzhen deliberately changed her self-title to "concubine", as if to say, don't always treat me as a man.

You can also be a woman.

I can give you advice and help you in your daily life.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, she is really an empathetic "big sister".

……

……

Zhu Hao and his entourage arrived at Chaoyang Gate in the east of the capital.

Someone came to greet them.

Yang Shen and other Zhu Hao's friends in the Hanlin Academy did not come, but it was Sun Jiao, the secretary of the household department, who ran to greet his son-in-law, and Xu Jie, who had just been appointed as the head of the household department, came with Sun Jiao.

After Zhu Hao got out of the carriage, Sun Jiao and Xu Jie walked over one after the other.

Zhu Hao stepped forward slowly and found that Xu Jie's face was full of depression.

Xu Jie originally did a good job in the Hanlin Academy, just because he went to Yongping Mansion with Yang Shen, and after he came back, he was transferred to the head of the household department.

This can only show that Xu Jie's actions in Yongping Mansion were not recognized by Yang Ting and his father and son, and he was directly thrown to the household department.

"Jingde is back too?"

After Sun Jiao briefly greeted Zhu Hao, he quickly turned his attention to Lou Suzhen behind Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, you old pervert, just say that the purpose of your coming to greet me is not simple, and the relationship is not to welcome your son-in-law, but to welcome the "little friend" who can talk to you?

Lou Suzhen is very polite, but she simply gave her hand to Sun Jiao

, didn't even say a word.

Sun Jiao originally wanted to pull Lou Suzhen to talk to him, but Zhu Hao reminded him: "Old Sun has no official business today? Why do you have time to go out of the city to meet you?"

"It's not good to welcome you? Zisheng, you should have known him a long time ago, he has been in the household department for a few days, and he is adapting to his new position, if he has any problems in the future, just ask you."

Sun Jiao was very polite.

Obviously, the son-in-law is not from the household department, so he actually asked the head of the household department to consult Zhu Hao if he had something to do?

Zhu Hao was not angry, and greeted Xu Jie with a smile, and Xu Jie's face was somewhat embarrassed.

……

……

After greeting at the city gate, they entered the city together.

The carriage followed, and the group walked through the city gate first.

After entering the city, Sun Jiao no longer hid it, and went directly to talk to Lou Suzhen, but put Zhu Hao aside.

Zhu Hao said to Xu Jie, who was also following the same pace, "Brother Zisheng is okay? From the Hanlin Yuan to the Hubu, for ordinary people, it is equivalent to having a way to actually serve the imperial court."

Xu Jie tried his best to squeeze out a smile to make himself appear sincere, and pretended to be free and easy: "I am about to ask for leave to return to my hometown, my family has already promised me a marriage, and there can be no more delay, I have made a request to the top, and the court has approved it."

Zhu Hao nodded.

Historically, Xu Jie returned to his hometown to marry a wife as an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and then encountered his father's bereavement system, and was still in the Hanlin Academy after returning to the capital.

But because of Zhu Hao's change, it had a great impact on Xu Jie's life.

Xu Jie is now returning to his hometown as the head of the household, in terms of treatment and fame, it is invisibly much worse, Xu Jie could have married a wife more beautifully, but now it seems that ...... I'm afraid it's going to be greatly discounted.

"Elder Sun seems to appreciate you very much, and he will actually take you out with him if there is something." Zhu Hao smiled.

Xu Jie smiled ashamedly again: "If it weren't for the fact that I was familiar with Jingdao in Xia, Sun Butang might not have called me."

Xu Jie was somewhat disappointed.

Despite repeated cover-ups, between words, it still shows a kind of inferiority.

Hubu Shangshu brought himself out, just to welcome his son-in-law, if you want to say how much Lao Shangshu admires him, who will believe it?

He has no background in the court, and there is no one who can help him among his fellow brothers, he has long known that being an official in Beijing depends on relationships, and if it doesn't matter, he will not be treated well and will be easily left out in the cold, and the reality seems to confirm this, and he feels that his future is bleak.

……

……

Sun Jiao talked with Lou Suzhen for a long time, and then ran over to find Zhu Hao.

Several people entered a teahouse near Yanfu Palace together, Sun Jiao intended to let others stay downstairs, he and Zhu Hao went up to the second floor, and wanted to talk to his son-in-law alone.

「…… Respectfully, the old man is not hiding it, the old man is really tired of this officialdom, and the old man also agreed to Yang Jiefu, he wants to retreat, and the old man must have retired earlier than him, so ...... It seems that the promise made to you to stay in the court for a while longer will not be fulfilled."

Sun Jiao's meaning, I'm leaving, don't listen to you.

Zhu Hao said, "Old Sun, can you retreat now if you want to?"

Sun Jiao was stunned, frowned and asked, "What's the explanation?"

Zhu Hao sighed: "Isn't Elder Yang Ge also asking for his resignation, what is the result? If this courtier wants to retreat, it depends on chance."

Sun Jiao was a little annoyed, and said angrily: "So, you will talk to Your Majesty and prevent the old man from returning to the field, right?"

In other words, ordinary people will definitely fake and deny it.

And Zhu Hao didn't bother to answer.

Be!

Now that you know it, what else do you ask?

Since you think you can't get involved, why do you have to tell me? If you want to be a secretary of the household department, do you still have to get the approval of your son-in-law?

Since you came to ask, it means that you know that I may interfere, so what can you do if I really obstruct me?

Sun Jiao was a little discouraged, as if complaining, "Jingdao, what do you want to do? You are not in Beijing

Division, the court is still a mess by you, the old man really can't figure it out, you are a Wenchen from the top of the class, your talent and ability are recognized by the world, as long as you are down-to-earth, you will definitely be able to enter the phase in less than 20 years, what ......do you mean?"

Zhu Hao said, "Twenty years? Can't wait that long!"

Sun Jiao said, "Then you just want to be the first assistant early?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I just want to change the Ming Dynasty, I want to use all means to develop science and technology to make the Ming Dynasty more powerful, and holding power is just a means to realize the ambitions in my chest." As for Shoufu, who does it differently? After Elder Yang Ge retreats, who enters the Hanlin Academy and who enters the pavilion is not a matter of His Majesty's words?"

"Hum ......"

He snorted heavily, as if he was sighing, and as if he was complaining.

In short, Sun Jiao's face is not very good-looking.

While the two were talking, someone came upstairs to communicate: "Sun Butang, Zhu Hanlin, there is an official car driving to the teahouse, it seems to be the carriage of Yang Ge's hometown."

Sun Jiaodao: "Let's just say that Yang Yongxiu can't not come, he is still thinking about doing things with you."

The two of them were going to say a few more words, but they didn't say anything at this time, and waited for Yang Shen to arrive.

……

……

The second floor of the tea house.

has been wrapped up by Zhu Hao, Yang Shen did not bring Yu Chengxun on this trip, but led Ye Guizhang to come.

Nominally, it was naturally to welcome Zhu Hao.

After seeing Sun Jiao, Yang Shen politely saluted and said that he had come to greet his old friend after completing an errand in the Hanlin Academy.

Yang Shen smiled and said, "Respectfully, just say that we will work together, you go back to Hanyuan, continue to be the history museum to revis, and in the future, if there is anything about book repair, we have to discuss with each other."

This is clearly for Sun Jiao.

Zhu Hao said, "Why didn't you see Brother Mao Gong?"

"He? I can't come because of something temporary."

Yang Shen didn't expect Zhu Hao to ask Yu Chengxun, he could come to greet Zhu Hao, it was enough to give face, didn't he have to take Yu Chengxun with him every time, right?

Zhu Hao said to Sun again: "Old Sun, we young people have something to say, you see......

Sun Jiaobai glanced at Zhu Hao, waved his hand and said, "Remember to take the little girl back to the house in the evening and have a family banquet together, the old man can tell you well, don't delay the hour."

"But it's ...... at home" Zhu Hao was about to look for an excuse, meaning that I had just come back, why didn't you let me go home to see my mother first? But do you want to see your father-in-law first?

But seeing Sun Jiao's unkind gaze, Zhu Hao changed his tone to acquaintance, "When the affairs of the family are settled, I will come to the door as soon as possible."

As soon as Sun Jiao took Xu Jie's side, Yang Shen seemed to be a different person, and said with a straight face: "Old man Sun, don't go to the mansion first, I will introduce you to the Ministry of Officials in the past two days, and you may have to go to the Ministry of Officials to serve in the future."
