When Wang Ruoshui listened to Xia Gongzi's plan, he did feel that there was a drama.

But after calming down and thinking about it, where is it so easy, the top boss and chief officer don't recommend me at all, how can I get on!

But now, the real words are still in his ears, and Shi Shangshu can't tease himself in front of so many people.

In his mind, only one thought arose: Xia Gongzi, the real god!

Even though his heart was dripping blood, Shi Dingzhong smiled and said, "Wang Langzhong, don't sit still, let's say a few words to everyone." Oh yes, it's going to be Wang Shilang soon. ”

Looking at Shi Dingzhong's warm smile, Wang Ruoshui knew that he was still far from a real top high-ranking official, so in order not to disappoint his mother and son, he forcibly collected his mind and stood up.

"Your Majesty Xie Longen, Xie Qinxiang and the center appreciate, and I want Lord Xie Shangshu to cultivate, if there is no care from you, how can there be the blessing of the lower official today. The lower officials will do their best, as always, to share your worries and worries for the ministry! ”

Shi Dingzhong looked pleased, "Well said!" In the future, in the ministry, you and Guo Shilang will have to worry more. ”

The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites also hurriedly got up to express his attitude, expressing his willingness to work together with the new left attendant of the Ministry of Rites who had crossed two steps at once and whose status was still above him, and complemented each other.

Shi Dingzhong nodded, "Okay, you guys talk first, the official is ready to go to meet the people of the ministry." ”

So saying, he walked out, and then the noise began to sound.

The food department Shilang has the best relationship with Wang Ruoshui, and he jumped forward with an arrow step, "Okay, you old Wang, you did such a big thing quietly!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to punch it, but then he thought of something and hesitantly put his hand down.

Wang Ruoshui said with a smile: "Your Majesty's grace is vast, and the central committee has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I have personally done some small work." ”

The outsiders who had followed Feng Jieyi to mock him before also surrounded him and praised him, one by one, one by one, and Feng Jieyi's face turned from red to blue, and from blue to purple.

"Wang Ruoshui! I'm not convinced! ”

Feng Jieyi's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he stared at Wang Ruoshui and roared.

Everyone turned their heads one after another, looking at him, and couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of officialdom and the treacherous career, and at the same time, they were also very curious about how Wang Ruoshui would respond.

Is it a mockery, or a prestige, or a temporary appeasement?

Wang Ruoshui walked over slowly, looked at him, and looked calm, "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me, I am the squire in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and I am the top boss of Ling, I will solve it for you." ”

All:.

Feng Jieyi was choked by this sentence, and he didn't come up in one breath, but turned over directly.

——

Zhongjing City is like a microcosm of this world.

There are rich people who spend money, eat a meal by themselves, invite their younger brother to swim, and spend hundreds or thousands of taels without blinking their eyes;

There are also worry-free food and clothing, joy and health, living a stable life on weekdays, occasionally having a good meal, and enjoying the prosperous well-off home of the imperial city;

But more than that, it is those who are struggling to live, precarious, and have exhausted all their strength to live.

They used their flesh and blood, together with the rest of the grass mustard in the world, to squeeze and torture the prosperity of Great Xia.

Most of these people live in the south of the city.

Xia Jingyun and Su Yuanshang were walking in the alleys of Nancheng at this moment, and Chen Fugui followed behind them.

"My classmate, from a low background, has a straight temperament, and can't rub sand in his eyes, anything that is with the light and dust in his eyes is an insult to the creed of life."

Su Yuanshang walked slowly, calmly walking through the surprised and curious eyes of the people around him, "So, he naturally went from a Hanlin to a petty official of the Criminal Department, and he didn't even get mixed up." The residence was also moved from the west city to the east city, and then to the south city. ”

"I didn't expect that with his character, he would choose to enter the command of Concubine De Niangniang, and after seeing his name that day and confirming that it was him, I almost immediately decided that he belonged to that position."

Xia Jingyun nodded, and suddenly looked at his hands, "We didn't bring anything, isn't it a little inappropriate?" ”

Su Yuanshang was also stunned, he had a staff member who reminded him of this all the year round, but now that he has become a staff member, he forgot about it.

"It's okay, I'll buy some cooked braised pork on the street in a while, and I'll share it with him. Didn't you give him such a big gift? Hehe. ”

After a while, Su Yuanshang stood outside an ordinary house with a large oiled paper bag, and knocked on the door gently.

An emaciated middle-aged man walked out, his hair meticulously combed and his body in shape, like a sharp sword.

But the old clothes that were washed a little white, and the faint clouds of sorrow that always lingered between his eyebrows, were like a sword rusty, dull, so that anyone who cares can see that he is not doing well.

He recognized Su Yuanshang at a glance, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared, "Brother Chongjiu? What are you doing here! Come in. ”

Su Yuanshang walked in, and Xia Jingyun followed behind.

The house was just as clean and tidy as his people, but old and embarrassed.

But whether it is a man, Su Yuanshang and Xia Jingyun, they all seem to be at peace.

"Juan Niang, there is a guest at home."

The man first asked Su Yuanshang and Xia Jingyun to sit down at the table, and then walked to the door of the backyard and spoke softly, his voice was very gentle.

Then Xia Jingyun also heard a gentle promise.

Soon, the man came with a woman, the man was carrying a kettle, and the woman was holding a tray, on which were teacups, and tea leaves were sprinkled in the teacups.

The woman's complexion was slightly yellowish, and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had begun to grow, but she could still see the excellent foundation of her appearance, and she was also a young and beautiful person when she was young.

Su Yuanshang hurriedly got up, "Sister-in-law, let's just come by ourselves." ”

The woman smiled gently, "The visitor is a guest, how can I let you do it!" ”

After making the tea, the woman smiled at the two of them and turned back to the backyard.

Su Yuanshang smiled and said, "Brother Shen really married a good wife!" ”

The middle-aged man opposite, the criminal official named Xing Shigu, was very unhappy when he heard this, and pursed his lips, "But she didn't marry a good person." ”

Su Yuanshang didn't dwell on this topic anymore when he heard it, and picked up the oil paper bag at hand with a smile, "I came in too much hurry, I forgot to buy a gift, so I had to buy some food and wine on the street, and I bothered my sister-in-law to load a plate for a while, and we drank two glasses." ”

Xing Shigu smiled, "These may be my little girl's favorite gifts." ”

Su Yuanshang heard it, "Gave birth to a daughter?" How old are you? ”

"It's seven years old, and it's time to run around like crazy."

As he spoke, the door was pushed open, and a crying little girl walked in.

Xing Shigu hurriedly got up, but a figure in the backyard was faster than him, walked quickly to squat on the ground, held her in his arms, and stretched out his thumb to wipe away her tears, "Don't cry, don't cry." What's wrong? Who bullied you? ”

"Sister Xi Niang and Sister Qiao'er, they said that I only had old clothes, I said that my father and mother said that the clothes should be clean, and they said that our family was poor, and my father had no ability, so I fought with them."

The woman did not flee to the backyard with the child in her arms, nor did she go out to find the field in a menacing manner, but looked at her daughter generously and gently, "Then do you think Daddy is a person who is incompetent?" ”

"It's not."

"Yes, my mother also thinks that my father is a very capable person, he will help you make your favorite little toys, will ask you to read and write, and will catch bad guys, isn't it very powerful?"

"Hmm!"

"Are you still upset?"

"Don't be sad. But I have a little pain. ”

The woman hugged her daughter distressedly, and Xing Shigu on the side hurriedly said, "Nannan, this Uncle Su has brought you something delicious, do you want to eat it?" ”

The little girl's eyes widened instantly, and she nodded busily.

Su Yuanshang also opened the oil paper bag, and a tempting aroma quietly hit.

It may not be a big deal to Xia Jingyun and them, but for this little girl, it has been a long time since they could eat a delicious meal.

After all, you have to save a little money, find a way to change the house in the future, prepare some dowry, and dare to spend it at will.

The woman smiled and pinched the little girl's face, "But what do you do before eating?" ”

"Wash your hands first!" The little girl spoke childishly, and rushed to the backyard with two short legs, and the woman hurriedly followed, "Slow down!" Be careful not to get your clothes wet. ”

Xia Jingyun retracted his gaze and said softly: "If Your Excellency had not chosen to follow Concubine De Niangniang, but had come to the camp of Concubine Shuniang or the prime minister and the crown prince, today's situation may be very different." ”

Xing Shigu shook his head, "I naturally want to be rich, but I don't want to sell my conscience and virtue. If I have to choose, I can only choose Concubine De, at least she hasn't shown that I absolutely disagree. When my wife and I were kicked out of our parents' house, it was Mr. Gongsun who reached out to help get through the difficulties, so I don't regret it. ”

Xia Jingyun snorted, and Su Yuanshang said with a smile: "You, it's still the same as back then, your sword that would rather be bent than bend, I'm really afraid that it will be crushed one day." ”

Xing Shigu turned his head to look at his wife, who was walking out with his daughter in tow, his eyes were gentle, "No." ”

He smiled and said, "Sit down and eat together." ”

Su Yuanshang also hurriedly said: "That's it, sister-in-law sit down and eat together." ”

The woman smiled, "You men are very important, I am a woman to disturb you, nan, can we take some to the kitchen to eat?" ”

The little girl nodded, and then looked at the fragrant braised pork on the table, "Can I take more?" ”

Every adult present only had an inexplicable sourness when they heard the words.

Especially Xing Shigu, an iron-clad man, couldn't help but redden.

Xia Jingyun suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, do you complain about Lord Xing?" ”

Quite rude behavior, rather rude words, the woman just smiled, the smile was a little sad, but the shaking of the head was very firm.

When she brought the dishes and packed some food for her daughter, and then helped set up the wine utensils, there were only three men left in the room.

Xia Jingyun bowed his hand to Xing Shigu at this time, "I lost my words for a while, please forgive Master Xing." ”

Xing Shigu waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and then looked at Su Yuanshang, "Brother Chongjiu, when did you return to Zhongjing, and why did you come to the Humble House today?" ”

Su Yuanshang said with a smile: "Brother Shen, I have now gone to the official body and am working in the Jiang'an Hou Mansion. Let me introduce to you, this is Xia Jingyun Xia Gongzi, the righteous brother of Concubine De, and the current branch of Surabaya Prefecture. ”

Xing Shigu's face changed, and he hurriedly got up to salute, but was supported by Xia Jingyun, "Lord Xing doesn't need to be polite, I came here with Mr. Su today because I have an important matter, and I want to ask Lord Xing." ”

"Young Master Xia is polite, if you have any orders, just say it." After Xing Shigu finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and added, "But please forgive Xia Gongzi, if there is a violation of morality, even if there is only a small official under him, it will be difficult to obey." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Don't worry, it's because of your forgiveness and disobedience that I came to you." ”

He looked at Xing Shigu and restrained his expression, "Lord Xing is willing to be the governor of Jingzhao Mansion?" ”

Xing Shigu was stunned for an instant, the commander of Jingzhao Mansion?

The official position of Jeong-Go-pin is still in charge of the security of the entire Gyeonggi region.

He is a petty official of the Criminal Department and a petty official of the Seventh Grade, do you ask him if he is willing?

But he really didn't say yes.

Xia Jingyun then explained: "Don't worry, even if it's on our side, if there is a traitor, you will also enforce the law impartially, and we will not ask you to do anything to bend the law." Holding this position in our hands, firstly, we don't want it to become a sharp weapon for others to attack us, and secondly, we just want to be more convenient. ”

Xing Shigu thought for a while, and his tone relaxed, "But do you have the final say?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, "I just said that I could count it, so I came to you." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden knock outside the door, "Be careful!" Be careful! ”

Xia Jingyun and Su Yuanshang got up, "Let's avoid it." ”

Xing Shigu settled down and went to open the door, and outside the door was actually his top boss in the Criminal Department, the Shilang Zhong of the Criminal Department.

He saluted respectfully, "Lord Liu! ”

Who knew that before he could bend down, the other party held him up with an arrow step, "Be careful, you and I have worked together for so long, why do you need to be so polite!" ”

He is very kind at the moment, "The official department has sent a message, you have been promoted!" Captain of Jingzhao Mansion! It is said that Jing Zhaoyin personally ordered your general, and today he finished the official document before the New Year's Festival, brother, you are now developed! As soon as you let go of the office, you left, and the officials didn't find you, so the squire could only ask me to send you the appointment documents and the obtainment. ”

As he spoke, he solemnly took out the documents and said goodbye from his arms, handed them over with both hands, and said with a gentleness that he had never had in front of Xing Shigu: "Shenzhi, in the future, you and I will move around a lot, and we will always gather and chat!" ”

Xing Shigu stood a little dumbfounded, and nodded a little blankly: "Well, ah, it's easy to say." ”

In the backyard, the woman covered her mouth, her eyes were red, more than ten years of bitterness and misery, more than ten years of deteriorating entanglement, more than ten years of hesitation and persistence at countless passes, all accompanied by tears, silently flowed down.

The little girl caught a glimpse, and without hesitation, she put down her beloved delicious, trotted over, hugged her mother, and learned to reach out and wipe her mother's face, "Mother doesn't cry, mother doesn't cry!" I am. ”

The child's gaze swept over her old, even ill-fitting garment, before resting on the faded red string in her hair.

Thinking that she had suffered so much and been so angry with her husband and wife over the years, but she was still ignorant and well-behaved, the woman suddenly hugged her tightly, and tears fell like rain.

The little girl didn't know what was wrong with her mother, but she just silently let her mother hold her, and then looked up to her little face and gently wiped away the tears on her mother's face.

"Mother, don't cry!"

If you don't pay attention to writing too much, you should think of it as an addition.
