Since the prince entered Yu, there have been changes in the court, and one by one people have gone to prison to enlightenment, and a few female officials have come forward.

Most of these female officials from Zeguo are not mortals, they speak and do things very neatly, and their temperament is also strong, many men are saying "How can a man want such a woman", in fact, many people have begun to think about whether to be the first person to eat crabs and marry a fierce woman.

Not to mention anything else, Liu Ziyan's power in Huxiang Dao is really huge, several mines are open, rich and powerful, if you marry her, let her have more children, and trap people at home, you can justifiably take over the power at hand.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Ziyan has the disadvantage of being in poor health, and I am afraid that it is not good to give birth, but this is also an advantage, if she is often sick, it will be easy to die Hehe, treat people to death, eat the inheritance, and marry a supple and beautiful girl who can give birth, isn't it the joy of life?

Wang Xu is a small official under Liu Ziyan, in his forties, he used to live in the Ministry of Rites, until the case of cheating in the imperial examination came out, he was not involved because his status was too low, he was actually promoted to do things when the court was short of people, and he was promoted all the way to the staff of the Ministry of Treasury, and suddenly jumped to the position of Wupin.

These days, he has been working with Master Liu, and he knows very well that this person is very skilled, and he knows that some people in the household department have bad thoughts about Lord Liu.

Wang Xu hesitated for a long time, and until he went home for dinner after finishing an errand, he seemed a little worried.

The old wife sandwiched a chopstick meat in his bowl: "Master, I made your favorite rice wine stew today, why don't you eat more?" ”

"Alas, there are a lot of things in the yamen, and I am very worried, so I will eat and eat," Wang Xu shook his head, and put the meat in the bowl of his eldest daughter Wang Lewan, who went home after being widowed, and said to his youngest son Wang Yan, who was only sixteen, "I bought this year's "Essence of the Imperial Examination" for my father, and I heard that it included the articles of the prince's palace examination, but I need to study more." ”

Wang Yan poured the broth bibimbap, and was eating it deliciously, when he heard his father speak, he only responded vaguely: "I have read it, the prince's article is easy to find, and the most majestic and substantial article is, but Dad, I can't learn the prince's talent." ”

Wang Xu sighed: "Alas, if the prince hadn't withdrawn from the imperial examination himself, it would have been easy to take the top prize, I don't ask you to have that talent, I just want you to understand the prince's style and preferences, for the sake of his father, this is a done, young, or a descendant of the Lu family, that family lives in their eighties and plays like a ......."

The implication is that not only Wang Xu, but also the people of Wang Yan's generation, including the next generation of Wang Yan, will probably have to spend their whole lives under the current prince, so don't you have to study other people's preferences!

After thinking about it, Wang Xu looked at his eldest daughter Wang Le: "Lele, what have you been doing at home recently?" ”

Wang Lecai was widowed for less than half a year, and the filial piety keeper was not good at meat, so he put the meat in his mother's bowl and replied in a clear manner: "Help my mother settle the accounts, it is not easy to live in Beijing, and my daughter is thinking about whether to open a shop to sell some cakes from her hometown." ”

Their hometown is a county town in Zhejiang Channel, and nothing else is developed, but the pastries are famous, and if they are placed in the capital, they can also be sold as a rare thing.

Wang Xu said: "Don't worry, now the imperial court has increased the number of officials, and the official uniforms and food in the yamen are subsidized all year round, and our family has few personal contacts, and there is no shortage of money." ”

Wang Le asked: "Then what should I do when I want to deal with Shangguan in the future?" ”

Wang Xu: "It's a blessing to be a foreigner, our family has no background connections, go one step further, there is no hope of relying on favors, not to mention that the father's Shangguan has several mines in his family, but it is not bad for us, she usually does not accept bribes, female officials, always pay more attention to reputation." ”

Wang Xu can see that because of the world's moral code that is more demanding on women than men, many women have high requirements for themselves, especially those female officials, most of them are not short of money, and they are officials just for a word of power, so they will pay more attention to their innocence in order to maintain the trust of the prince.

If you have no ambition, you are quite comfortable working under these female officials, most of them are not greedy or corrupt, and they do not like to engage in drinking and prostitution, they can use women as officials, and their handling skills are also credible.

Now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, it must be a certainty, and I am afraid that the matter of female officials will become a routine in the future, and the emperor has eunuchs and female officials in his hands, which is also an additional power to restrain the ministers.

Wang Xu saw it clearly, thinking that he could see the limit on the road of being an official, but there are still few people on the track of female officials, if he can seize the opportunity, it is not only the way to cultivate a good son.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xu said: "Lele, over there in the Ministry of Rites, in recent days, I have been recruiting teachers in literacy classes, regardless of men and women, as long as you go in to class and pass the exam, you can go to be the gentleman of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Wang Le was taken aback, and immediately understood the meaning of his father's words.

The women waited for a thousand years to wait for an opportunity to be justified, and this opportunity came from the Zeguo side, just because the royal ancestors over there were women, and the current emperor was also a woman, so naturally female officials could be derived.

Do the women of Yu also embark on the road of chasing power with this light? Even if that road is strange and dangerous?

The answer is hardly asked, and there are always people who will challenge danger in order to live on their feet.

Wang Xu knew his daughter's temperament, and he knew her answer well, so he just nodded: "But if you take this road, you must beware of making achievements in the future, a man is going to marry you, because when the time comes, the man will definitely marry not only you, but also your power, your money, your life, Lele, this is what my father told you." ”

Wang Le kept this in mind: "My daughter can save it." ”

She thought about it for a while, took the initiative to put a piece of meat in her mouth, Wang Xu nodded with relief, if you want to be a master, you should have the courage to eat meat.

Wang Yan got up and pulled out a transparent glass jar containing yellow peach pulp from the cabinet, and he tried to knock on the bottom of the bottle, blushing and twisting the cap open.

"Sister, come and eat the fruit, this is a kind of canned fruit sold in the store of Qiujia coconut stewed chicken in recent days, which are all fruits grown in the southernmost Zeguo, in the soaking sugar water, sealed in this bottle and brought to the north, it still tastes fresh and fruity, especially sweet."

The young man diligently distributed the pulp to the family, and the sugar water should be diluted with boiling water, otherwise it will hurt his throat.

Wang Yan said: "This is still sent by Qi Mazi, who I studied at my husband's house together, and he said that there are some doctors in Beijing, and they will even prescribe this thing as medicine, saying that it can cure bleeding in the mouth and back pain, but it is a pity that it is expensive, and it costs 20 Wen a can to transport it by sea from the south." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled: "That's a rare good thing, come, let's meet one of the four in our family." ”

Wang Xu, Wang Le, and Wang Yan raised the bowl one after another, and with a slight touch of the edge of the bowl, there was a crisp sound, and the four of them all smiled and said auspicious words.

"The future is bright."

"All the best."

"Body Kangtai."

And Xu Jing, the "demon girl who killed her ex-husband's family" that many people will talk about, is taking night classes in a village not far from Daying on the outskirts of Beijing.

She didn't receive much money, and her job was to go to the barracks every day to teach, a total of four classes, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, and fifty sergeants came to each class, and Xu Jing was the only female gentleman here.

At first, I naturally listened to some rumors, and even more excessively, I directly said some foul language

Language, Xu Jing has experienced everything, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, just to say some meat jokes, and she was forced to learn it when she was insulted in the palace of the king of Zhejiang.

But since the dignity is picked up again, there is no reason to throw it away, and Xu Jing is not radical, but she cares a lot about the sergeants when they train hard, and pays special attention to the children in the class who lack female elders in the family, and takes care of them like mothers and sisters.

Xu Jing will make a kind of glutinous rice baba wrapped in bean paste, which is a craft passed down to her by her mother, originally thinking of learning one or two simple snacks to please her husband after getting married, but she has never pleased the prince of Zhejiang.

For no other reason, the prince of Zhejiang was shriveled like a thin dog, and when he took off his clothes, Xu Jing sometimes had the urge to gag, she thought the other party was ugly.

But for those little soldiers who were gradually impressed by her, Xu Jing was gentle and kind like the sister of those people.

She said: "Others say that I am a teacher for one day and a father for life, I can't be your father, but I can be your sister, and if you have something in the future, you can also come to Sister A to discuss." ”

As she spoke, she handed over the bean paste glutinous rice poop, which was fried in a pan, and tasted with a burnt aroma produced after the combination of rich fat and grain, and when she took a bite, there was a sweet and glutinous bean paste filling flowing into her mouth, bringing satisfaction with the smell of fireworks, oil and salt.

Those little soldiers who came from poor families and barely enjoyed the warm care of women were not unconvinced.

Xu Jing made full use of her strong side as a woman, and in an almost warm way, she seemed to inadvertently entrap a group of students, and all of them had the impression that "Mr. Xu is very knowledgeable, kind-hearted but seems to be a little weak" to Xu Jing.

Men are hard, and the world also tells them not to rely on others, to become an existence that people can rely on, not to be weak, not to shed tears, Xu Jing sometimes envy the world for asking men so much, which will make them have almost no way back and must move forward, unlike women...... After taking the path of marriage, they will gradually lose other paths.

But who can say that softness can't overcome rigidity?

Xu Jing doesn't want to be rich and prosperous, she doesn't have too many requirements for food and clothing, she just wants to seize the opportunity given to her by the prince to change her fate, climb on everyone's head, so that everyone doesn't dare to bully her and insult her.

Preferably...... In the future, she could easily bully those men.

An unspeakable anger churned in her chest, but it was perfectly concealed by Xu Jing, she lowered her eyes, knowing that her foothold in front of the prince was "Yu Law", and it was she who sued the Zhejiang Wang family to re-establish the dignity of "Yu Law", so she has a role as a model, which is her capital.

Once she does something illegal, the final result must be a quiet "death".

Xu Jing put on a gentle smile, picked up a child wearing only tattered pants, and carefully taught him to write his name with many teenagers and girls.

Jin Hongzhu saw something, as the highest-ranking female official in Yuguo Dajing, and the first first-class female official in the two countries, she had the right to invite Liu Ziyan, Wu Mei, Xu Jing and other women who had embarked on the road of female officials to her temporary residence in the courtyard.

At the meeting, she was keenly aware that Liu Ziyan was a bit of an idealist, and for the sake of ideals, Liu Ziyan could temporarily give up her own interests, such as giving up her business in Huxiang Road for the sake of the future of the female official promised by Brother Ying.

It can only be said that Liu Ziyan took refuge in Brother Ying too early, she has been a horse boy for Brother Ying since she was a little girl of seven or eight years old, and the oppression of women in this world rarely falls on her head, which makes Liu Ziyan's personality more bright, firm, brave and hearty than most women in this era.

Lord Liu belongs to the type that can make people feel that this sister is full of positive energy, Jin Hongzhu judged that although Liu Ziyan does things first, second is two, but as long as things are done, she is actually very good at talking, and she is a little like the prince.

Jin Hongzhu is young, and she is a member of the female official group with Lord Liu, so it is easy for the two to get close.

The opposite of Liu Ziyan is Xu Jing, this well-known "Death Ex-Husband and Sister" looks gentle and quiet, full of poetry and books, but when the eyes look at it, it makes people feel cold, and that temperament is subtly similar to the murderous witch protagonist of an ancient cult film "Horror Chicken".

That movie was Kim Hong-joo's childhood nightmare.

Jin Hongzhu secretly looked at the comments of the people around her about Xu Jing, and they all said that they were good, but she still felt uneasy.

Thinking that Qin Zhanying was Officer Lu's cub, another crossing companion Qiu Yu also mentioned that Qin Zhanying might have guessed their origins, and the lonely little girl who was only ten years old naturally found Qin Zhanying.

"You say Xu Jing? She is indeed very angry, and she always copies scriptures and sends them to the temple on weekdays," the prince only heard Jin Hongzhu mention a few words, and then understood her intention, he smiled, "I'm here, Qiu Yu and my mother are also here, you don't have to be afraid of her, just treat her as an ordinary colleague on weekdays." ”

"You're a first-class teacher, what are you afraid of a teacher who doesn't even have a grade?"

Qin Zhanying disagreed: "Even if she works hard all her life, the life that can be taken away by that little anger can't catch up with a fraction of mine, but you are not afraid of me." ”

The little girl in Baotou immediately slid down the chair and sneered: "Wechen is afraid of you, I'm very afraid, I just know that you are very good to the ordinary people who don't break the law, and Wechen abides by the law, so I think it's more appropriate to regard you as a big backer than to be afraid of you." ”

Qin Zhanying smiled lightly: "Hongzhu." ”

Jin Hongzhu: "Uh-huh. ”

Qin Zhanying: "In the future, Lone will also start a war and kill more people." ”

Jin Hongzhu was speechless for a while.

"Also, your hair is crooked." The prince reminded.

Jin Hongzhu snorted, hurried to the side hall to comb her hair, and when she looked in the mirror, she found that the bun on her left was a little crooked, and it was in a stage where it should be symmetrical with the right side but it was immediately wrong when the angle was changed, which was quite unfriendly to obsessive-compulsive disorder.

remembered the prince's gaze on the top of her head from time to time, and among the officials who dealt with her today, there were also a few who kept staring at her head, these are suspected obsessive-compulsive patients.

At this time, two months have passed since Emperor Cheng'an and Qiu Yu went on the expedition, and these days, the battle reports from the front line have been sent to Dajing one after another, and Qin Zhanying has replied one by one.

This month's grain and grass have been sent to Weilongying, Qin Zhanying bought a large number of canned fruits from Zeguo, although they were sent to the front line, it was just a can for each small flag, and it was eaten with the first ten soldiers, but Qin Zhanying had eaten the sergeant's stove in the barracks, and knew that these were already rare good things in the eyes of the sergeant.

The border army also lived up to these unprecedentedly rich supplies sent from the rear, and the results were very beautiful.

In the latest battle report, Emperor Kailong's hometown, Shanludao, was beaten back.

According to the news from the spies in the north, there was a locust plague in the north this year, so there was no harvest in some provinces throughout the year, and the people had to flee in all directions.

After a month of fighting, there were gratifying results.

Qin Zhanying flipped through the battle report, and the crow who delivered the message lowered his head.

"Winter is coming in the north."

The little prince suddenly sighed. ：，m..，.
