Wu Anhou has a plan for the career of his eldest son.

It can be said that almost from the moment Shen Tingjun was born, all the plans for his life were in Wu Anhou's budget.

Marquis Wu Anhou also seriously arranged a shortcut to heaven for his eldest son - first to be the prince's companion, and then to be an official in the imperial examination, and then with his ability and the feelings that have accompanied him for many years, he won the trust of the emperor and entrusted him with important tasks.

In his previous life, Shen Tingjun naturally didn't mind following his father's arrangement. In fact, Wu Anhou died early, but Shen Tingjun's career was almost always moving forward according to his father's rehearsal.

But this life is different, and he has a more important choice. There are also more important things to do.

Shen Tingjun, who has been a eunuch for a long time, wants to convince his father, which is naturally not a difficult task.

In fact, although Wu Anhou was dissatisfied with his rash decision, his son had always had a big idea, and this time he was really thoughtful. Since he has the heart to let go, let him out. He is upright and in his prime, and he can also support the Hou Mansion for twenty or thirty years.

Wu Anhou agreed to his son's proposal in the end. In fact, now he can't help it if he doesn't agree. After all, since the matter has come to him, Emperor Longqing and the crown prince must have gotten the letter earlier.

As a courtier, you must be true to your word, but more importantly, you must be loyal to the emperor despite difficulties and obstacles.

The water that was spilled out of the words was absolutely unreasonable. Otherwise, how should Ziyuan be viewed after the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs? How do Emperor Longqing and the crown prince view their son's rebellion?

Wu Anhou nodded, but the things that were released outside could not be arranged overnight.

Shen Tingjun is the prince's companion in the end, and he also undertakes some errands in the prince's mansion, so this naturally has to be handed over earlier.

Again, he is on duty in the six departments, and now the other five departments have gone through, but the Ministry of Engineering has not yet turned around, so it is natural to have the merits to be completed before leaving.

The most important thing is that Shen Tingjun is released with a purpose this time, and he wants to go to Jinju. And because Jinju is a place of booksellers, the learning atmosphere is strong, and the people are educated. As a result, it is easy for officials here to make political achievements - that is to say, the official positions here are more sought-after, and it is really hard to say when a suitable position will be vacated for Shen Tingjun.

In view of this kind of thing, the matter of Shen Tingjun's release was put on hold.

He had nothing to do with his face, he went to the government every day, and even took turns in the Ministry of Industry, and according to the instructions of Emperor Longqing, he went to the Inspectorate and Dali Temple to walk around.

Because of the things related to the three divisions, Shen Tingjun is too familiar. And the officialdom, he has long been proficient in the rules, which leads to the matter in his hands. Always handled to the maximum extent.

After a long time, Emperor Longqing became more and more reluctant to let go. For this reason, he also said at lunch with the queen: "With Ziyuan on the side, I have saved a lot of energy." This kid, I don't know if he was clumsy before, or now that he has opened his mind, I am more comfortable when I call it up, and it is even easier than those ministers. ”

It's easy, the key is that this kid is doing a beautiful job, and he is not proud of his achievements, he is really humble and capable. Such a person, even if there are ten or eight Longqing Emperors, it is not too many. Now there are not so many, but it is good to have a Ziyuan, and Ziyuan asked him about his release today......

Emperor Longqing felt for a while that it seemed that even the food in front of him was not fragrant.

He said to the queen: "It's been a year, and his mind hasn't changed." If he wants to go, let him go. ”

When the queen heard this, she asked, "Is there a suitable place?" Does Ziyuan have a place he wants to go? ”

Mentioning this topic, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but let out a light "heh". "That kid didn't tell me carefully where he wanted to go. I only heard Sheng'er say that Ziyuan tossed books related to several state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River to read. He reads most of the books in Jinju, as if he wants to go somewhere. ”

The queen chuckled: "Then Your Majesty will simply be a good person to the end, and this time it will be Ziyuan." ”

Emperor Longqing hummed again, but after humming, he also sighed and said: "It's good to fulfill him, he grew up under our knees after all, and he is not much different from our children." He's leaving home, let's do something for the child in general, then follow his wishes and let him go to Jinju to break through. ”

Emperor Longqing made up his mind, and soon a clear will came from the ministry.

Shen Tingjun was promoted to the fourth rank of Jinzhou general sentence.

is the fourth grade, this official position does not seem to be high, and it is not conspicuous in the court. But if it is placed in the locality, it is also one of the best existences among the civil officials.

Don't look at Shen Tingjun, who is only in the fourth grade now, but he himself is not yet the age of a weak crown. is only nineteen years old, and he can still be called a young man in his prime.

At his age, many people are still studying hard behind closed doors to take the imperial examination, but he has already been on duty for six yuan and the first, six departments and three divisions, and has accumulated contacts for half a dynasty, and has successfully won the attention and trust of Emperor Longqing and the crown prince.

Not to mention what Shen Tingjun felt in his heart after getting this appointment. It was only said that after the officials of the Manchu court learned the news, they couldn't help but sigh with their colleagues: Wu'an Houfu has this son, at least he can be in the capital Xuanhe.

This son has outstanding ability, and what is even more rare is that he grew up under the emperor's knees, and he is not a brother with the prince, but he is like a brother. Unparalleled ability, coupled with the feelings that have been cultivated for a long time, not to mention that Emperor Longqing is now favored by him when he is in power, even if the new emperor ascends the throne later, he is also a veritable henchman.

This son, the future is limitless.

After Wu Anhou learned of the appointment of Emperor Longqing, he was a little panicked. In the evening, Shen Tingjun came out of the palace and returned home, and the father and son talked in the study. Emperor Longqing played the old tune again, and said in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty has high hopes for you. ”

"My son is also grateful to Your Majesty."

Wu Anhou was choked for a moment, and then said, "You know, Your Majesty doesn't want your gratitude. ”

Shen Tingjun said lightly "um" and said, "Don't worry, father, my son knows what you have to say, and he also knows what Your Majesty values." When his son is released, he will do his best to never fall into the prestige of the Marquis of Wu'an, and not let the ministers have the opportunity to seconded His Majesty's decision. ”

“…… It's good that you understand. ”

After the appointment was made, Shen Tingjun began to make a long trip.

The affairs of the yamen have generally been handed over, but the remaining two serious cases in his hand cannot be directly transferred to the officials, so Shen Tingjun deliberately went to Dali Temple and carefully told Dali Temple Qing.

Coming out of Dali Temple, I happened to see a commotion on the street, and the crowd was also boiling, all of them were talking about what "marriage" and what "holy decree".

Shen Tingjun had no time to pay attention to these things, and went straight back to the Hou Mansion with Cheng Lin and Cheng Yi.

After arriving at the Hou Mansion, he was summoned by the old lady to Heyan Hall.

The old lady knew that her son had just returned from Dali Temple, so she asked him to sit down and drink tea and rest.

It's only March or April, but this year's spring came late and the temperature was very high.

Along the way, Shen Tingjun also sweated profusely, and even his appearance was a little untidy.

Finally relieved of the heat, Shen Tingjun put the teacup on the coffee table beside him, and then asked the old lady: "You called the child over, but what do you have to say?" ”

The old lady hesitated, not knowing whether to say those words or not.

Shen Tingjun saw that the old lady was embarrassed, so he said: "Whatever you want to say, just say it." My son is your own son, and I know that whatever you do, it is for my good. ”

"That's what the mother really said."

Shen Tingjun bowed slightly: "You said yes." ”

The old lady asked him hesitantly, "Do you want to take two maids to go south with you?" ”

Shen Tingjun didn't understand his mother's meaning at first, but it was only a moment before he knew his mother's thoughts.

If the maid is just here to serve the food and daily life, the mother will not be so embarrassed, then there is only one explanation left, that is, the maid in the room.

Shen Tingjun frowned slightly, "Mother, my son is going to work, not to play, what's the matter with two maids?" ”

Besides, when he went to Jinju this time, he still went to find Yue'er. He wants to be upright and open, and let her be his original wife. If it is spread that he will take office with the news that he will have a room, not to mention the Sang family, even if it is other families who love their daughters, they will not dare to marry their own palm beads to a merry son like him, right?

Shen Tingjun's thick eyebrows furrowed fiercely, and he looked at the old lady's gaze, also full of disapproval.

Is the old lady embarrassed? She's embarrassed now.

She also knew that it was unreasonable to stuff a woman next to her son at this time. After all, the whole capital inquired, the family with rules, the son has not yet married a wife, so he first got a room full of goblins? This doesn't seem to be true.

But she's not, it's not......

It's not that my son is going to travel far away, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back. She was worried that there was no caring person around her son to take care of her, and where was the Cheng'en Mansion, she had just received a marriage gift......

The old lady stumbled, and told the news she had just heard.

It turned out that news came from outside just now, saying that the palace had given marriage to the lord of Changrong and Wei Mingqian, the prince of Chengen.

The old lady thought that the queen mother had been a matchmaker for Da Lang and Evergreen the previous year, but Da Lang politely refused......

If Da Lang had agreed at that time, maybe Changrong would have passed the door now and become the new daughter-in-law of their Hou Mansion.

Pity......

There is no pity in the world, but because Changrong's family affairs are decided, it is still Wei Mingqian, who grew up with Da Lang. And among these children who grew up together in the palace since childhood, the prince married the princess two years earlier, Liang Haosheng's wedding date was also set, Xu Zhijun's mother was pulling her son to look around, and I heard that there was already a favorite family.

Originally, there was a Wei Mingqian who was as single as his son, but Wei Mingqian settled down with Changrong in a blink of an eye......

Now that she looks at it, only her eldest man is left, and she is still alone. Even if the old lady is not anxious to hug her grandson, she is worried that her son will delay the marriage if he is released, or that there is no one around her son to serve him intimately, and she will be wronged again.

The old lady said so much, Shen Tingjun only had a sudden moment on his face at first, and then regained his calm.

Nearly a whole year has passed, but this year, Wei Mingqian's feverish head has not only not cooled down, but has become hotter.

He and Evergreen were mixed up again...... It's okay, whether they are good or bad this time has nothing to do with him.

has something to do with him, and there is only one mulberry twisting month in this life and this life.

Shen Tingjun sat in the old lady's room for a while, so that he could comfort the old lady and not have to do these useless things.

Marriage has its own destiny, and his fate may be on the way to come. He's not a kid anymore, and he knows what kind of girl he likes. If you have someone you like, you may bring her to see your mother later.

The old lady was very relieved when she heard this, but when her son left Heyan Hall, the old lady realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Da Lang's words.

She asked Mama Cui beside her: "Is it my delusion?" How do I feel that Da Lang seems determined to find me a daughter-in-law outside? ”

Mama Cui bowed her head slightly: "The slave and maid also mean this when they listen to the prince." ”

The old lady gasped, and then worried again.

"I'm not saying that the girls out there are bad. It's just that Da Lang has only seen a few girls' homes, and I'm worried that he has been coaxed by those girls. If you want to find a daughter-in-law, you have to find it in the capital, at least everyone knows the roots, and no one can deceive anyone. ”

But isn't it too late to say that? The sons of the world have also left.

Again, the prince has become more and more of a big idea these days. Mrs. wanted to add two maids to the prince's side, but the prince bluntly refused. Mrs. also wants to go over the prince and arrange a girl for him directly, why does this feel so unfeasible.

Both the master and servant were a little worried, but they couldn't allow them to think too much, because the time for Shen Tingjun to leave Beijing was getting closer and closer.

was also about to leave Beijing, and Shen Tingjun suddenly became busy.

Some relatives and friends are old, and he must say goodbye in person. In addition, you have to take a day out to go to the palace to say goodbye. Besides, I have to go to Huangjue Temple with my mother to ask for a peace charm......

By the time Shen Tingjun finished all these chores and was finally able to leave the capital, the time sequence had already entered April.

He took Cheng Lin, Cheng Yi, and a few guards who grew up together to board the ship at the dock in the capital. With the boatman's "sailing", the passenger ship slowly left the dock.

Gradually, the ship turned into a black shadow, and then into a small black dot, until it was out of sight......

It wasn't until the passenger ship completely disappeared from view that Wu Anhou turned his head sideways to look at his wife and said, "Go back, Da Lang has already gone away, and if you cry again, he won't be able to see it." ”

Shen Tingyi and Shen Tinglan also spoke out in unison to comfort their mother and persuade her to go back to the carriage.

When the eldest brother left, he saw that he had taken away his mother's soul.

But life has to go on, and it's not a matter for my mother to cry like this all the time.

The two gave Shen Yuyao a look, Shen Yuyao is now less than the height of her mother's thigh, and she is still a small ball carved in pink. But she is the only daughter of Wu Anhou and his wife, and she is an old girl born to the old lady Lao Beng Hanzhu, so she is really afraid of melting in her mouth and holding her in the palm of her hand for fear of falling.

Shen Yuyao opened her mouth to be coquettish, that powerful. I heard the little guy say in a milky voice: "Mother, go back to the house, and when the eldest brother returns to Beijing, we will pick him up again." ”

Today's shift, babies. I slept a little late last night, plus Dabao kicked the quilt all night, and Erbao kept coughing, I lay down at nine o'clock and didn't fall asleep until twelve o'clock. At half past twelve, I finally felt a little sleepy, but the fetal movement came. The one in my stomach was called overturning the river and the sea, and I was uncomfortable, and I immediately lost my sleepiness. In the end, I couldn't help it, I just lay there with my head on my clothes and fell asleep, and I woke up at five o'clock in the morning, and I didn't sleep if I felt tired. I'm so sleepy today, and I'm a little flustered and short of breath. I'll take it slowly, and I'll do two more tomorrow.
