Chapter 262: New Year's Gift
According to the rules, the recitals of the local officials returning to Beijing to report on their work must be sent to the Ministry of Officials.
As the so-called Hades is better, the little ghost is difficult.
Some officials in the ministry will take this opportunity to extort a sum of money, and the names they take are also very good-sounding, what kind of pen fees, etc., are nothing more than asking for bribes.
Of course, not everyone will be blackmailed by them.
For example, Wang Jin, they don't dare.
Because as soon as Wang Jin returned to Beijing, he was invited by Xie Zuocheng to drink twice in a row to drink and catch up with the old days, which one did not open his eyes and dared to offend Xie Zuocheng at this time?
Although Xie Zuocheng is still only a positive fourth grade, the power in his hands is not small.
In this way, Wang Jin's self-report was smoothly submitted layer by layer, and soon presented to the imperial front.
There were still a few days before the New Year's Day seal, and Emperor Jingwen simply summoned Xie Xiuwen over to speak.
Xie Xiuwen did not deliberately avoid it, and also frankly admitted Wang Jin's strengths and weaknesses, and the saint was very satisfied with this.
"In this case, then let's send it, if he is in Beijing, then in the opinion of the secretary, who is more appropriate to replace him?"
"Back to the Holy Heavens, there are a lot of Jiji people in the Hanlin Academy, which one do you think is more suitable for a few years of training outside?"
Emperor Jingwen naturally couldn't really ask Xie Xiuwen to help him choose, just to mention it.
The official document was issued, and Wang Jin's stay in Beijing was considered proper.
The New Year is approaching, the imperial court has taken a long holiday, Jingzhao Mansion has also been sealed, and Chen Bo and others who are far away in Feng County have also brought people back to Beijing for the New Year.
Chen Bo's errand had been decided half a month ago, and now he was just waiting for the new county order to take over.
In the coming year, Chen Bo will be transferred to the Ministry of Officials and served as the test of the meritorious service, from the fifth grade.
Chen Bo's position is so good that it is easy to make money.
However, Xie Xiuwen repeatedly instructed, and there was also an old lady Chen, so Chen Bo naturally knew it.
Because of the family affairs of the Chen Xie family, the Xie family has more New Year's gifts to prepare this year, and the Wang family, who has just returned to Beijing, cannot be left behind.
Xu Ruyi brought several of her children to give New Year's gifts, and Liu Ruolan learned that the two adults were talking in the study, so she simply ordered the kitchen to prepare more meals, which were all used here.
Xu Ruyi originally had a little prevarication, but when he saw that his youngest son was pestering the good treasure and not letting go, he let him go.
Xu Ruyi is a child who can give birth, and now Wang Jin is also a group of children under his knees.
Wang Jin is not a heavy person, and there are two girls in the family who have a wife and a concubine, which can be regarded as quiet.
The concubine's room was carried by the elders of the family, and it is said that Wang Jin only learned about it on the night he had sex with the beautiful concubine.
As for the two rooms, one was given by Wang Jin's mother, and the other was Xu Ruyi's own intention.
Wang Jin basically does not interfere in the affairs of the house, and Xu Ruyi is the master of the house.
Wang Jin did not have a concubine, and after having two concubines, he realized the difference between concubines and concubines, and then rarely went to other women's houses, even if he went, he would also let people prepare medicine, and he did not plan to have any more concubines.
His style made Xu Ruyi feel a lot better.
There is no way, although she has been raised by women since she was a child, who is willing to let other women share their husbands with them?
Wang Jin's eldest daughter is 14 years old this year, and she originally wanted to see a suitable person when she was in office, but considering her own transfer in the future, she never made a decision.
Now it's good, I've returned to Beijing, and I can show my daughter her husband's house.
Xu Ruyi naturally doesn't like this concubine very much, mainly because she has too many eyes.
Just like Liu Ruolan told her a few years ago, this is a demon who loves to be a demon.
Anyway, they are all concubines, and Xu Ruyi didn't plan to treat her harshly, she found a suitable family to marry her, and her task was completed.
Xu Ruyi and Wang Jin both planned very well, thinking about finding him a wealthy businessman to be the main room, with the support of his mother's family, and he couldn't go wrong in the future.
Of course, if you don't want to marry a merchant, then it is also feasible to have a talented man or a man.
After all, it's a concubine, if it's a higher family, then it won't work.
Don't talk about the son of a famous family, even an ordinary official eunuch, and he is not willing to marry a daughter as a wife.
Wang Jin and Xu Ruyi both felt that it was better to marry a high family as a concubine, and it was better to marry a low man and be a good lady, this is a good life.
But this Wang Qin'er didn't think so.
It's also a coincidence.
Today, Wang Yanqing also came to the door with the New Year's gift, and since he came, Wang Yanqing accompanied Wang Yinuo to the inner house to greet Mrs. Xie.
As soon as Wang Yanqing appeared, Wang Qin'er's eyes were about to stick to others.
After learning that the other party's surname was also Wang, Wang Qin'er's face was obviously not very good.
The same surname does not intermarry, they are both surnamed Wang, so naturally they cannot become husband and wife.
However, after Wang Qin'er learned that the other party was the prince of the Dingguo Mansion, his heart and eyes became alive again.
Wang Qin'er is very self-aware, with her life experience, it is not easy to be a concubine for the prince, and dare to think about anything else?
Look at so many good things that the prince gave to Xie Rongzhao and Mrs. Xie, she really has never seen it when she is so old.
and the young lady who was with Wang Yanqing, I heard that she was also a concubine, but her all-round style was more luxurious than that of ordinary official concubines.
Therefore, if you really enter the high gate, even the concubine is also superior.
Wang Qin'er twisted the handkerchief in her hand, thinking carefully one after another.
Xu Ruyi didn't notice the change in Wang Qin'er's expression, but Xie Rongzhao on the side saw it.
But Xie Rongzhao didn't care, just Wang Yanqing's appearance and family background, it was difficult for the girls not to think about him.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the New Year's gift sent by Gaoyang County also arrived, and there were two large carriages.
Among them, there was a large box prepared by Cheng Jingzhou, most of which were given to Xie Rongzhao.
Song Yi also sends people to send some festival gifts every year, with Xie Xiuwen's relationship, he is more and more able to eat in Gaoyang County, it is the business of Fucheng, it is also prosperous, no matter who comes to the yamen to be the leader, he doesn't dare to embarrass Song Yi, isn't it because he knows the Lord Xie behind him!
The Liu family also prepared two large boxes of things to be sent by someone, as well as several articles by Liu Dalang.
In addition, there are also Xie Laosan's preparations, some of the furs he hunted himself, which were made and sent over, as well as the silver tickets that he brought with him.
People have to have contacts to come.
Liu Ruolan also arranged for someone to send New Year's gifts to Gaoyang County early, and it was delivered on the sixteenth day of the lunar month.
In fact, the big guys also understand that they are not limited to what Xie Xiuwen is sending here, as long as it is delivered, it means that it is related to Lord Xie, and those local magnates and squires have to weigh and weigh when they act.
"Master, this is something that the third master specially instructed me to hand over to you personally."
