Chapter 1352 Department Affairs (Two in One)

Kwaiyuan, go to the room.

The eldest maid Chengye brought the tea and placed it in front of several young masters, then lowered her head and retreated.

Whether it was Tianyou or Zuozhu brothers, they all looked at Hang Seng.

Since the front yard study room came out, these three people have been like this. Even if Hang Seng is not a careful person, he still realizes that something is wrong now.

He raised his head and asked in confusion: "Why do you guys keep staring at me?"

Looking at his dark eyes, Tianyou hesitated for a moment and said, "Second brother, why did you think of my father and teach us a lesson?"

Hang Seng sang: "What else can I do? In half a month, my sister will make up for it. My father is uneasy... Brothers don't know that my father and mother love my sister the most. Even if my sister doesn't get married immediately, I will have a lot of time at home after getting engaged... Just as my father said, if my sister feels wronged in the future, we brothers have to stand up for my sister. For the sake of being more confident, we should also keep ourselves clean..."

Tianyou and Zuo Zhu were relatively speechless. Hengsheng’s words were not wrong, but who was his father (adopted father)? Didn’t he know how to act and insisted that Tianhui remembered to teach his children before he made up his mind?

Seeing everyone like this, Hengsheng realized that it was not stupid. He stood up from his seat and stared at him, "Do you think that my brothers have made mistakes, which makes my father angry and will bother you to be taught a lesson together?"

Zuo Zhu smiled and said, "After all, you are young and live alone in the mansion... There are many people in the guard squad..."

Hang Seng blushed, turned to look at Tianyou, and said annoyedly: "Brother is also in the guard squad. Is it just that brother is steady, but I am ignorant..."

Tianyouben also thought that his father would teach them a lesson and warn them to "cultivate themselves and manage their families" and "restrain themselves and restore etiquette". It is aimless to be targeted.

Perhaps some of the brothers are inappropriate. If the father is the one who is the son, it is difficult to talk about his son's room directly. He would have such a general warning. If there is any, correct his mistakes, and if there is no, encourage him.

The twins have already started a family, not a yellow-haired boy who is ignorant of human affairs, but the second brother lives alone in the same mansion and is not under the control of his elders.

Seeing Hang Seng reacting, Tianyou knew that he had guessed wrongly before.

He is the eldest son and grandson. Even if he works in the palace every day, he is not completely aware of the affairs at home.

That is, it is different from the second brother, that is... because of my grandmother?

Tianyou already knew about the abnormality of Lanyuan yesterday in the evening.

Originally, he was guessing whether the family dinner today was related to his grandmother, but today he saw that Li looked as usual and his father taught him the great principle of "cultivating oneself and managing the family", so he thought of Hang Seng.

After all, Hang Seng is no longer a descendant of the Cao family. If his father disciplines him alone and spreads it, it will appear that the Cao family is frivolous.

Unexpectedly, I wanted to leave.

Thinking of this, Tianyou said, "Don't be upset with the second brother. It's not that we think the second brother is ignorant, but I'm under the eyes of the master and the wife... I have my younger brothers and sisters around them. Even if I want to learn from others, it's not easy to be fooled... Only you live alone in the house and no one can restrain you... I just misunderstood you, but my brothers are also worried about you..."

Zuo Shu, Zuo Cheng also understood that it was a misunderstanding of Hang Seng, and he also stood up to annoy him.

Hang Seng is not a stingy person. Seeing that his brothers all apologized, he waved his hand and said, "It's fine if you say it, it's not a big deal..."

Although the brothers did not understand the cause of Cao Yong's scolding, they obviously listened to the great truth.

So Zhu, who was pregnant for eight months, saw her husband staring at her belly and muttering to herself.

In order to avoid the young couple, Zhu's nanny had already advised the couple to separate the house, and Zuo Cheng had moved to the study room long ago.

On the night when he returned from Cao's mansion, Zuo Chengju asked someone to move the bedding out of the master bedroom.

Faced with his wife's confusion, Zuo Cheng gently stroked his wife's belly and said, "I want to spend more time with my son, so I can't let him only get close to you..."

Listening to her old-fashioned husband saying the child who was almost competing for favor, Zhu couldn't help but laugh; but thinking that the birth date was approaching, she also felt a little sad and whispered: "What if it's a daughter..."

Zuo Chenghun said indifferently: "The daughter is better... The daughter is well-behaved and more loving. The adoptive father and the adopted mother will love their granddaughter more..."

*

In the left house, Ma Shi also widened his eyes.

The wife was anxious to seek a child, so she didn't know that she was not ignorant. However, after the persuasion was futile, she could only keep silent, so that the wife would be more thoughtful.

After listening to his adopted father's admonition to "cultivate oneself and manage the family", Zuozhu felt that he could not let his wife's only son bear the pressure on his offspring.

He dug out the "Book of Zhou" and pointed out the passage "A man married at thirty, and a woman married at twenty" to his wife: "It is not a bad thing to have a few years later... When you are twenty, if you are not pregnant, please ask the imperial physician to take a good look. It may not be your reason... Uncle Wu got married for three years, but Aunt Wu was not pregnant. Later, I asked someone to read it. Aunt Wu was fine, but it was because of my problem if I was not healthy.

Mrs. Ma listened to her husband's comfort, but at the end, she was panicked: "Why would you say this to me like this? I would rather be my reason than not..."

Although a woman has no children, she is not confident in her husband's family, she just needs to relax her mind, take two concubines for her husband, give birth to a son, and adopt her own name.

A man has no children, even if he adopts him, his family can be continued, but his own bloodline is cut off.

Looking at his worries, Zuo Zhu felt warm in his heart and said, "You are not afraid. There is a prescription at home. Don't Wu have a parent-child now..."

Old Summer Palace, Hall of Divine Affairs.

Yongzheng sat behind the imperial desk and put down Cao Yong's memorial, adding a smile to his originally heavy face.

The name of "statistics official warehouse" is good, but I am still negligent. I am worried that the local official warehouse is unstable, but I don't want to wait to send someone down early to take a look.

If the flood situation is unstable this summer, it will be better than the messy ones at that time.

Cao Yong has always been diligent in his actions, but he is cautious and cautious. Now that he has the courage to take the initiative to take the initiative, he has always been the Ministry of Revenue's seal in his hand, and he has more confidence in his heart.

It seems that when Cao Yong was mentioned as the Minister of the Head, this move was indeed correct...

Yongzheng picked up the imperial pen and put the word "acceptance". Thinking about Zhang Tingyu's current rectification of the Ministry of Personnel is quite in line with his own wishes, he has to leave some mercy for him, so he added a sentence later, "Officers who leave the capital can discuss with Zhang Tingyu and then select them."

*

On the morning of the next day, when I arrived at the yamen, Cao Yong saw the memorial of the imperial pen and red copy.

Even if Yongzheng did not add the sentence "After discussing with Zhang Tingyu, he would not be able to choose the candidates for leaving Beijing.

After all, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the two ministers. Even if the seal is in his hands now, he will not become arrogant and feel that he can do so. It is not only because Zhang Tingyu's identity is overwhelming, but also because of the delicate balance in the yamen office.

Even when Zhang Tingyu was the head of the Ministry of Revenue as a Grand Secretary last year, he had mostly agreed to the government affairs with Cao Yong after a peace talk.

Cao Yong is not a fool, so he would not turn the Ministry of Revenue into his own back garden under the emperor's nose.

In the morning, Zhang Tingyu usually works on duty in front of the imperial court, and only in the afternoon do they divide odd and even days into the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue.

Today is a two-day day, and it happens to be the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhang Tingyu usually sits in the back seat of Weizheng (2:00 pm), and has to wait for two more hours.

Cao Yong thought about it and asked someone to come to Zuo Cheng.

He did not speak first, but signaled Zuo Cheng to read the memorial.

After seeing it, Zuo Cheng couldn't help but frown and said, "Sir, do you want to arrange a low-ranking position?"

In the government office, he unified the title regardless of the person in front of others.

Otherwise, if you are called a tramp in the population, you will not only appear arrogant, but even Cao Yong will be accused of using nepotism.

Cao Yong raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you want to go?"

For Cao Yong, who arranged this matter, this was an offensive job; but for those who were ordered to execute it, it was a bit annoying, but there was a big tree Cao Yong, which could not be hit by the wind and rain, and there was also an opportunity to be named in front of the imperial court.

Zuo Cheng nodded without hesitation and said, "Huguang is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it will take several months or even half a year to go there... I came to the Ministry of Revenue to assist Mr. Jiang and serve the adults..."

Cao Yongben was also worried that he would say he was worried about his wife who was approaching his child's life. Although he taught the children a lesson to "cultivate themselves and manage their families", he just wanted the children not to be tempted by eroticism, dominated by desire, and make the family chaotic, not to see their sons become "wife slaves".

For men, it is better to focus on their careers.

I heard that it was for my own sake, Cao Yong was grateful for his filial piety, but he also blamed his stubbornness: "This summer, the south is extremely angry, and there may be great trouble... If I don't give a reliable person to see it, I will not be at ease... Is it important to help me handle the documents, or do my ears to check the grain storage in Huguang? Do you think about it yourself? If you really don't want to go, I will refer to the other candidate."

Zuo Cheng had already understood and hurriedly said, "Sir, go to the official warehouse. I will check the official warehouse. I will not ask them to fool the adults..."

Cao Yong pointed to the bench in front of the case and asked him to sit down. Fang said, "The Zhu family's birth date is next month. It's really a bit embarrassing to ask you to leave Beijing at this time."

Zuo Cheng shook his head and said, "Don't be embarrassed. I haven't heard of any woman who gives birth to a child, men don't care about errands? How can family affairs be compared to state affairs?"

Cao Yong was quite pleased when he heard this and said, "You can think so well, but Zhu's place should be very relieved... You don't have to worry too much about being outside, I will ask my wife to visit more."

Zuo Cheng nodded, hesitated for a year, and said, "What should I do with Mr. Jiang? Not everyone can write about government affairs briefings."

He said this not because he claimed to be literary and elegant, and felt that others could not match him, but because this "government affairs brief" was prepared for Cao Yong to save his efforts.

If you are not a truly at ease, don’t let others write it at will.

Otherwise, if Cao Yong misleads "avoiding the important matters" and misleading it, then Cao Yong will probably be "a thousand miles of mistakes" when dealing with it.

Although Cao Yong is a careful one, he will study the original text of the file in major government affairs, but it is difficult to guarantee and omit it.

The Thirteenth Prince also knew this, so he specially transferred Zuo Cheng to Cao Yong to order him, otherwise the Ministry of Revenue would still lack letters and documents?

When Zuo Cheng mentioned this, Cao Yong didn't have the right person to choose.

However, this time, Cao Yong was not the temporary intention of appointing Zuo Cheng to Huguang.

Zuo Zhu, the Zuo Cheng brothers have been in office for almost a year, and everything they do falls into Cao Yong's eyes.

It’s not that he is fond of Zuo Cheng, but Zuo’s talent and knowledge are indeed inferior to Zuo Cheng.

But no matter how good Zuo Cheng has, he is still a young man in the officialdom and needs experience.

If I buried myself in writing a brief for a few years beside him, it would be too delayed.

After all, after several years of service, when transferring to the exam, you still have to look at your political achievements.

In addition, these young men in my family are protected by me more tightly, so I have less knowledge.

Cao Yong had long been planning to arrange for them to go out to see the world, but he had never had a chance...
To be continued...
