In the nineteenth year of Wenyuan, in early autumn, a rain faded away the scorching summer heat.

After the five watches of the drum under the twelfth knock, the sky was slightly bright.

The originally empty and dark streets and alleys were gradually lit up with candles.

A mansion in the west of the capital near the Chenghuang Temple in the capital was also busy in an orderly manner until the dawn of the day, accompanied by a "creak-" sound, the corner door unlocked the night lock, and opened from the inside, revealing the overlapping simple and elegant figures inside.

There was just an autumn rain last night, and the bluestone brick slabs were not yet dry, and when they stepped on it, the cool cold air returned along the soles of their feet, but they still couldn't let the waiting people dispel the joy on their faces.

There is no other reason, and it has spread all over Beijing a few days ago.

Qiao Lang in the Criminal Department, who has meritorious service in escorting, moved the capital to the right of the Imperial History.

However, Qiao Lang only drove back to Beijing yesterday, entered the palace at noon, returned home at the time of Shen, and just after the unitary time, the excerpt of the promotion was sent from the ministry.

Today, Qiao's Mansion has just opened its door, and everywhere is like a letter of unity, and relatives and friends who have lost their shadows and many colleagues have come to visit Daoxi.

The Lin family greeted the officials and relatives who came and went, and several grandmothers were waiting.

Especially the Lin family's bridal grandmother, not only wore a shiny satin, but also deliberately gritted her teeth and bought a popular silver hairpin, with a round figure raised by kitchen oil and water.

Qiao Lang did not come out to greet the guests in person, and refused on the grounds that he was ill.

The Lin family only received the Daoxi posts sent by the officials and masters of various places, and as for the gifts, they all shirked and resigned.

Lin is well versed in the way of pushing and pulling, although he can be sent away in a few face-to-face rooms, but he can't stand the large number of people, and when the entertainment is over, noon has passed.

Sending away the lady of the criminal department with a sour face, the Lin family had a leisure, picked up the bowl, waited for the sweet and slightly bitter tea to pass through the aching throat, and calmed the face of the whole day, before venting three points of compelling joy.

It's a real joy.

Langzhong of the Criminal Department of the Fifth Rank is only a rank of neither high nor low rank in Beijing, and the Criminal Department has no real power, so he is not only constrained everywhere, but also subject to the splint of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is different, this is the imperial historian who hears about things for His Majesty, has the right to advise, and also has the right to supervise impeachment, but all the "white Jane" handed from the courtyard is a must-see for the saint.

Lin swept away the depression of the past few years, and the whole person became vivid.

After waiting for the fatigue, let Mama Fang find the roster that she had just read a few pages yesterday and look through it from the beginning.

What is written above are the sons of various prefectures who are not married in Beijing.

originally thought that his daughter could only marry a young woman, but he didn't expect that God would still favor Yi'er, and when he was young, the lord would do such a big happy event.

Thinking of the faces of the second and fourth rooms a few days ago, Lin couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness in his heart.

……

The backyard of Qiao's house.

Qiao Zhaoyi sat on the couch under the window, looking at the grandmothers who had been busy all morning inside and outside the house, but with a smile on their faces, she felt very happy.

Because the Lin family had just added five taels of silver to her, she could go and buy the plum blossom pattern red woven gold armor that she had been looking at for a long time.

The promotion and demotion of the Beijing officials were very knowledgeable.

The excerpt sent by the Ministry of Officials yesterday was ostensibly a promotion, but in fact, it was not as accurate as the official reinstatement.

Her father Qiao Lang was originally a second-list heir, born in Jinshi, and later released as the thirteen supervising imperial history outside the Hanlin Academy, and after returning to Beijing, he moved to the right of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy.

It's just that his father has a good background, he is a child of a noble family, and his father has merits, so he has a lot of confidence, relying on the imperial history to impeach Baisi, and in some things he is simply spraying and scolding everything, Qiao Zhaoyi often feels that her father's mouth is really cheap.

Many big figures inside and outside the court are quite complaining.

So later, with the ups and downs experienced by his father, Qiao Zhaoyi was very calm.

Fortunately, the Qiao family has a solid background, and the Lin family's dowry is extremely rich, and the two of them have various ancestral private houses and Zhuangzi shops, which can fully support the expenses of the house, no matter how meager Qiao Lang is to, the days of Qiao's house are very moist, although it is not enough, it is more than enough to be compared to the bottom.

As a young daughter, the whole family loves her very much.

This kind of love reached its peak after the eldest brother was released to take up the post after he was released for fame, and the eldest sister also married and left Beijing.

Qiao Zhaoyi, who has been eating and drinking spicy food since he was a child and has a worry-free life, originally had no lofty ambitions, but after awakening the memory of his previous life three years ago and discovering the fact that he had crossed over, the degree of rot went to the next level.

The meager family wealth that he had saved in his previous life not only enjoyed everything in the end, but also died suddenly.

After a full-level start in this life, isn't it fragrant to lie down?

What to fight?

What rolls?

She just wants to be a salted fish, turn over occasionally, and live a better salted fish life.

Therefore, she does not act as a demon, second, does not cause trouble, third, does not desire love, and does not rely on any advanced knowledge, so she commands indiscriminately.

And she doesn't even remember a few chemical formulas memorized in junior high school, what other powerful things can she toss to change the direction of the dynasty?

Not to mention that she has no impression of the dynasty that has crossed in, but I only remember that when she changed the lines of a script, she accidentally saw the platform's key project for the next year, "Daye Dynasty", I heard that it is a conspiracy drama theme, telling the magnificent chapter of an emperor from life to death.

She and the producer are on the same team, they stayed up late to discuss, and she could hear it, saying that there was a traitor in it that the plot accounted for a lot of money, and it was not easy to act, so she wanted to invite an old actor to play it.

She remembered what her name was Cen for, this surname was not very common, and she was very impressed.

Unexpectedly, she died suddenly at her workstation that night, and when she opened her eyes again, she entered the book and became the daughter of a five-grade small Beijing official under the Daye Dynasty.

When she was born, Qiao Lang was ranked as a fifth-rank Hanlin attendant, and now fifteen years have passed, and her father has finally been promoted to a fourth-rank official.

Because the memory was recovered in the past three years, and she was an indigenous person in the first twelve years, so no one noticed the subtle changes, and the biggest difficulty encountered was nothing more than that the Lin family was often anxious, saying that she was like this, what would she do if she married into a family that treated her daughter-in-law harshly in the future, I am afraid that she will not be stumbled by her mother-in-law every day.

Qiao Zhaoyi lay lazily on the soft couch, and couldn't help but think of the traitorous minister mentioned in the book, Cen Wenyong, who is now the official of the Ministry of Worship.

As the saying goes, the officials are the ones who are in charge of the soldiers, the heavens and the earth are spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter how they are sorted, the officials should be the first, so the officials are also called heavenly officials.

When the Shangshu of the Ministry of Imperial Officials has been sick since the end of the winter of the previous year, he only occupies the title of Shangshu but is not in charge of affairs, which makes it seem that Cen Shilang, who served in the Ministry of Merit, has a particularly high position.

There are many officials in Daye, and even one-tenth of them can show their faces in front of His Majesty, especially those who are sent to work, and they must be excellent in performance appraisal for three consecutive years, so that they are qualified to raise their ranks, and it is this that is in charge of the meritorious service department, and the grinding and evaluation of all officials below the fourth grade are in the hands of the meritorious service secretary.

This position is not a party but a party, and it is not a private but selfish, so it is closely watched by the imperial historians.

In addition, this Lord Cen and her father were candidates in the same year, and it was rumored that Qiao Lang's paper was a little better than Cen Wenyong's, and he should have a Jinshi and the first background, but during the palace examination, Cen Wenyong's face was really handsome, so he gave him the position of Tanhua.

So over the years, the two families have had some unclear disputes.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhaoyi couldn't help but look stunned.

If it weren't for this complex antecedent, she would definitely have thought of asking her family to help her talk about her relationship with the only son of Cen Shilang's family.

That man was a good man to be a husband.

The background is good, the appearance is said to be excellent, handsome and beautiful, is the heart of countless noble women Bai Yueguang, just entered the office is known for poetry and sword, but later got a serious illness, now the heart is riddled with disease, life is short, the doctor said that he will not live for two years.

As long as she marries him and survives him, her salted fish will be stable.

The widow who vowed not to marry after her husband's death is still a safe and decent identity in this era, at least much better than her marrying someone else's family and passing incense while working on the family.

Especially, I heard that this only son of the Cen Shilang family is not very good in that regard.

She doesn't have to have children, and she can be stable and worry-free for a lifetime, this kind of good thing she has never heard of in her life.

It's just that the difference in the identities of the two parties makes her have to hide her thoughts, except for occasionally revealing one or two things to the little sister who has a good relationship, and she doesn't dare to say it anymore, for fear that her father will know, and when the time comes, he will directly marry her off.

Her father really hates the Cen Mansion.

A flash of regret flashed between Qiao Zhaoyi's eyebrows.

Such a good husband candidate, where to find a second one, is it possible to really marry one and leave with a baby?

Salted fish's mind turned a thousand times, but the front yard of Qiao's house was a bigger happy event, and it was coming.

Two hanging flower doors and four lotus pillars separate the front and back yards of Qiao's Mansion.

When the news came, Lin was taking off his coat in the room and asked the two grandmothers beside him to knead his sore shoulders and neck.

Qiao Lang was wearing a shirt, sitting on a luodian chair, leisurely eating a plate of sweet sake lees from the kitchen, and said while eating: "It's still delicious at home, this time with a driver, my mouth will fade out of the bird." ”

Lin was in the place next to him, and when he heard him say, he smiled helplessly: "That's Your Majesty still thinking about you, if it weren't for the fact that the deceased father-in-law had a relationship with Huang'en Temple, would you really want to use the identity of Langzhong in the Criminal Department to accompany you?" If you don't believe it, count it, how many five-grade officials are in the list of escorts this time? ”

His Majesty is benevolent and filial, although the Queen Mother is not a biological mother, after her death, she often goes to the Huang'en Temple to pray for her incense.

Huang'en Temple was also renovated by Qiao Lang's father when he was the head of the household department.

Qiao Lang only smiled, his face was full of redness, and the burden of the accompanying driver was unloaded, very relaxed: "This is the luck of Qiaofu, I don't believe you look at Sister Wen'er when she got married, I married the eldest son of the political envoy of Nanzhili because of the imperial history of the four products at the time, and now the other party has been lifted, and Sister Wen gave birth to a son-in-law, and she has face everywhere." ”

Several children in the mansion almost caught up with the good luck, and the marriage made the Lin family very satisfied.

Not to mention that the eldest son and eldest daughter of the Lin family are all married to high-level marriages.

Several children have basically settled, except for a Ming brother who has not been married, but he also came to give it last year, and said that it was the township exam, and he was afraid of delaying the examination.

Fortunately, a few days ago, the news came, the laurel nomination! I'm just going to try it next year!

Selfishly speaking, the Lin family doesn't like the two aunts in the house, this is to share the love between her and the master, and several concubines will also share her children's property in the future.

But Brother Ming has been raised under her knees since she was a child, and several concubines are still quite knowledgeable, and the Lin family sometimes often thinks that if the father, brother and sister are all competent, then even if Yi'er marries a woman, no one dares to practice it casually.

Lin sighed when he was told the central matter, got up and sat next to the master, and waited for him to eat: "Yi'er is not a competitive character, nor is she as talented as Wen'er, I don't expect to be like her sister, marry into Zhong Mingding's family, as long as you find a good mother-in-law and mother in the family, it's a big deal to add a few more pages to the dowry list, and then accompany a few more capable people." ”

Qiao Lang laughed and drank badly, knowing what she was thinking, and just about to say that she had seen a few students under Zhang Hanlin's door, she heard a few hurried footsteps coming from outside the door, and was surprised, and asked Lin's sideways: "What's wrong?" ”

Lin didn't know, he thought it was something urgent, and he hurriedly asked his grandmother to dress him.

As soon as the coat was put on, there was a creak, and the door was pulled open from the outside.

The round Fang Mama's face was flushed and sweaty, and she was wiping it with a handkerchief, and she hurriedly walked towards the room.

When Lin saw the person coming, the tight strings loosened, and he sat back again, his face helpless, and the three words "Mama Fang" shouted very seriously: "Mama Fang, you are in such a hurry, you don't even have a voice, I don't know if I think it's a disaster that collapses the sky." ”

Mama Fang showed a hint of shame at the right time, and soon said excitedly: "Old lady, young lady, she, she-"
