Qi Yuning is pregnant and inconvenient to go out, but she can also hear that His Majesty has been smiling for a while, speaking harshly, and reprimanding and degrading several officials, which is very different from the gentle and elegant Zhao Jie in the past.

Qi Yuning was afraid that he would still be provoked by Lingling, so he asked Lu Ze, but Lu Ze didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Jie.

"Now that Jie'er is pro-government, he should be more stern, don't worry too much, if it is really the anger of the living soul, Jie'er will not allow the spirit to enter the national prison."

Guozijian has always been a place for the imperial court to train officials, if it is really because of the spirit, the spirit will not be able to enter the Guozijian at all.

Qi Yuning also felt that what Lu Ze said was reasonable, His Majesty was still young, and now he was only over eighteen, so he said: "Your Majesty is now in charge of the government, and it is indeed appropriate to be stricter." By the way, why hasn't Chu Qing's appointment come down yet? ”

Chu Qing, as His Majesty's companion, has been by Zhao Jie's side for more than eleven years, and it stands to reason that His Majesty is in charge of the government, so he has to give Chu Qing a court official, but until now, what kind of official position Chu Qing is, has not yet been determined.

Lu Ze said: "I didn't ask about this. Your Majesty would rather bear the infamy of unfilial piety, ignore the courtiers' letters, and marry Chu Chi as the queen, and will not treat the Chu family badly, you don't have to worry about Chu Qing. ”

Qi Yuning said: "Isn't this someone who wants to be a matchmaker for Chu Qing?" Although he is now said to be the uncle of the country, he has no official position in the end, so he can't treat other girls' families badly. ”

Lu Ze asked, "Who?" ”

"The Zheng family." Qi Yuning smiled lightly: "Zheng Hao's niece Zheng Xiuxiu." ”

Lu Ze said: "The Zheng family really wants to find in-laws to maintain the glory of their Zheng family as always. ”

Qi Yuning said: "Chu Qing has a bright future, and now he is the uncle of the country, not to mention that he may inherit the Chu family in Yangzhou in the future, it is the lintel of the rich and rival country, and Xiuxiu is also a good match for him." ”

Zheng Xiuxiu is Lingling's friend since childhood, she can find a good husband, and Qi Yuning is happy for her.

Lu Ze said: "Yes, I will ask Your Majesty tomorrow, and now there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials." ”

Qi Yuning was shocked and said: "Minister, will this official position be too big?" ”

Lu Ze said: "Chu Qing is His Majesty's accompaniment, and he can be described as a confidant, and this official position is not big. ”

……

Lu Yiling stayed up for half a month before she was able to enter the palace to see Ah Shi's little sister.

When she arrived at Fengyi Palace, she saw that Chu Qing was also there, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Qing, I heard that you are going to marry Xiuxiu." ”

Chu Qing's face turned red and said, "Little county lord, there is nothing to do with these eight characters." ”

Lu Yiling said: "I heard that you are exchanging eight characters, why are there no eight characters." ”

Chu Chi smiled and said to Lu Yiling: "County Lord, this is a matter of the reputation of the Xiuxiu girl, we can only come secretly, and we can't say it openly." ”

"Xiuxiu is my best friend, I originally wanted her to be a little aunt, but now it would be better to marry Brother Qing, we are a family."

Lu Yiling smiled lightly, "Brother Qing, Xiuxiu is a very good sister!" ”

Chu Qing nodded shyly, "She's very good." ”

Chu Chi said to Chu Qing: "My mother is recuperating in Yangzhou, I am afraid that she will not be able to catch up with you when you get married, and the number of etiquette for marriage cannot be less, and you don't have a house in Shengjing City now...... It's better to get married in the Chu house, right? ”

Chu Qing said: "Your Majesty has also rewarded me a lot over the years, and the Lord of Qi County has also given me another money, I have a lot of money, and it is okay to buy a mansion and put it together, I don't really want to go to the Chu family." Just because my mother forgave him doesn't mean I can forgive him. ”

Chu Chi said: "I have also saved a lot of silver taels, you don't have to worry about the silver taels." ”

"I have the silver, too!" Lu Yiling took out his purse and opened it, and inside was a silver ticket folded into pieces.

Lu Yiling smoothed out the silver tickets one by one and counted: "One, two, three...... There are a total of thirty-two silver tickets of five hundred taels here, is it enough? ”

Chu Qing looked at Lu Yiling in surprise when he heard this, "Little, little county lord, do you just keep your silver ticket of more than 10,000 taels with you?" ”

Lu Yiling said: "This is not at ease, my father and mother are not allowed me to hide the silver taels, they can know in the Yuemi Courtyard, only they don't know about the purse I put with me, these are all given to me by my grandmother, grandfather, uncle and uncle on weekdays, I still have 20,000 taels to hide, only me and Chu Che know, and the rest don't know." ”

Chu Qing said: "Thank you for the kindness of the little county lord, but I can't use your money." ”

"You are my brother, why can't you use it, you can't wronged my Xiuxiu!" Lu Yiling gave the purse to Chu Qing domineeringly, "You can pay me back slowly, the scholars in the Guozi Prison have said that you are going to be a big official, and you can also return the money to me after you become a big official." ”

Chu Chi smiled lightly and said: "Little county lord, I really don't need to use your silver taels, I also have a lot of silver, it's enough." ”

Lu Yiling took back the purse with confidence and hung it on his belt at will, Chu Chi was really afraid that Lu Yiling's purse would fall.

It's a full 10,000 taels of silver, which is enough for their family of five to live in the Zhuangzi for several lifetimes.

Even if she is now the queen, this more than 15,000 taels of silver is not a small amount for her.

……

In the Zichen Palace.

After discussing the state, Lu Ze said to Zhao Jie: "Your Majesty, now that there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials, I think Chu Qing is just right, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Zhao Jie said to him: "Cousin, if you take a concubine, what will happen to the county lord's sister?" ”

Lu Ze said: "Without this possibility, I never thought about taking a concubine from the beginning, and after meeting Yu Ning, I wouldn't take a concubine."

Taking a concubine is nothing more than prolonging the heirs and coveting beauty, the Lu family has no shortage of heirs, as for beauty, how many people can compare to your county lord's sister? ”

Zhao Jie sighed and said, "If you have to take a concubine?" ”

"There's never a last resort." Lu Zedao.

Zhao Jie said: "How come? What if I give my cousin a side concubine? Aren't you just a last resort? ”

Lu Ze said: "Please don't embarrass your majesty, Lingling is thinking about giving her mother Nafulang at this time, if I really take a concubine, I'm afraid that Lingling will really find ten or eight husbands for her mother." ”

Zhao Jie asked again: "What about the county lord's sister?" What would she do if she knew you were going to take a concubine? ”

Lu Ze said: "She will probably gladly accept those ten or eight husbands." ”

Zhao Jie said slowly: "Will she say that it is a good thing to take a concubine to spread branches and leaves for the Lu family?" ”

Lu Ze said: "Even if these words come out of Yu Ning's mouth, they must be yin and yang, where in this world is there a woman who loves her husband who will really hope that her husband will take a concubine, and see her husband and other women happy?" Even if it is for the sake of the family's heirs, those women must be unwilling. ”

Zhao Jie sighed slightly: "I know that this is the case, she has never loved me, so she will calmly say that she doesn't care that I have three palaces and six courts, so she will not be jealous at all." ”

Lu Ze didn't dare to say more, although the eighteen-year-old boy was already a father, he was still young and would be trapped by love.

Zhao Jie said: "I have plans for Chu Qing's official position, I plan to send him to Yangzhou, my mother-in-law is sick and weak, and Chu Qing, as the eldest son, should go to Yangzhou for reunion." ”

"Yangzhou seems to have no official position vacant now?"

"Yangzhou Taishou has reached his term, let Chu Qing take over the position of Taishou." Zhao Jie said, "Just let him go through the experience." ”

Lu Ze said: "Okay." ”

In the Fengyi Palace, Lu Yiling was still playing with Ah Shi, when he heard the palace people in the Zichen Palace report that His Majesty had appointed Chu Qing as the Taishou of Yangzhou.

When Lu Yiling heard that it was too guarded, he said, "What a little official." ”

Chu Chi said: "The parent official of the first state of the fourth grade is no longer a minor official, but I didn't expect it to be an expatriate." ”

Chu Qing looked at Chu Chi and said: "My mother is not in good health, and if I can go to Yangzhou, I can serve my mother, but if I go to Yangzhou, then there will be only my sister in this Shengjing City, and I am afraid it will be difficult to have a support." ”

Lu Yiling raised his head and said, "Am I not human?" ”
