April 26, the first year of Zhengde

It is extremely rare. This day is the year, month, and nine palaces of flying stars are all auspicious gods. The twenty-eight constellations of the sun are the southern Zhang Yuelu. The calendar says: The marriage of sacrifices lasts for a long time, and the burial and work are used for this day. The official position will be entered into the court for three years. Dajichang

.

It is a rare day for everything to be auspicious.

So on that day, firecrackers were heard everywhere in the capital early in the morning. Those who get married, those who have settled their houses, those who have opened their business, and all kinds of happy events will be held on this day.

There were four or five families who held wedding events in the CPC Central Committee. The most popular one during this period was naturally that they are now favored by the emperor, and the imperial teacher Yang Ting got married with his eldest son.

Even if the woman's biological father died and her uncle's official position was not revealed, many "enthusiastic people" came to watch the ceremony, not to mention that the Yang family had already been crowded with people.

There are many guests in the family. Although Mrs. Yang and Yu are busy, they are always energetic and have a very good complexion.

There were inevitably some familiar female guests joking, "But people are really excited when they are happy. Look at you, how can you be a mother-in-law, you are more energetic than that little girl!"

Yu smiled and turned back: "I finally have an arm, I'm not just happy!"

This time, she had already stated that her daughter-in-law had to entrust her family affairs to pass by when she was a family. The people who came to the banquet today were all the wives of the inner lords of the officials and most of them did not believe this.

I want to see Yu's stepmother-in-law and the eldest son and daughter-in-law come in. She doesn't say she is in charge of the family business, but instead wants to hand over the power of the housekeeper. In the future, she will not have any good fruits to eat and be happy.

So several wives discussed it privately, and felt that the reason why Yu seemed particularly happy was probably because his eldest girl's illness had improved.

In fact, Yang Tian's condition is not the focus of the capital's ladies circle. In other words, with the domineering Zhang Yuting, two girls from the Zhang family, being sent to the nunnery, Zhang Yuxian, who has a very bad reputation, promised Xiao Shen's top scorer, the Shangsi Festival has gradually become

No one mentioned it.

It was said that Yang Tian's condition had improved because several Hanlin families with good friends with the Yang family went to visit the hospital and the news came out.

Yu's family always has Miss Yang around him. Everyone knows that although they are stepmother and daughter, their relationship is quite good. And Miss Yang has a bond with the Zhang family. If the person is gone, this is a dead grudge.

If you are better, there will always be room for trouble. For Lord Yang, it is always a good thing to have less domineering enemies like the Zhang family.

Everyone was also thinking that if Yang Tian was terminally ill, the Yang family would not have such a reason to do weddings. It would have been better, and Yu was only happy.

When the topic started, someone remembered it and quietly asked Shen Li’s wife Xie, who was also a wife of Hanlin, and said, “Didn’t her big girl promise your Shen family? Is her illness cured?

I heard that lung disease is not easy to treat, so I don’t know where the doctor I hired? If there are relatives and friends in the future, we can recommend it too."

Someone said, "I heard that His Majesty sent the imperial physician? The Yang family is so valued by His Majesty!"

Xie was pulled to ask, but he couldn't help but feel impatient, so he had to pull the corner of his mouth and said reluctantly: "I've been sick all the time... I'm so drowsy, I don't know the details."

After a pause, she quickly added: "My master has been busy all these days and has never heard him mention it."

Many people heard about it and were quite unbelievable. Although he was a cousin, Shen Li helped him with some help in the matter with Shangshu Shen’s family.

I have a good relationship with Xie, but seeing that her face is really bad, the thick powder can't hide her haggardness. I haven't seen her come out after the banquet. I guess she is really sick. I also comforted her: "This is it."

In spring, it is still cold and warm, but it is easy to catch a cold. Take care of me. I took a nourishing prescription a while ago, so I went back and sent someone to send it to you."

Xie hurriedly thanked with a smile.

Someone joked: "Mr. Shen has no brother, but the clan brother has to worry. He has a female family member at home and is afraid that his sister-in-law will have to work harder for Xiao Shen's first prize."

Speaking of Xiao Shen’s marriage, Yimo is around him. The Hanlin circles are mostly despised by Chen Jin’s marriage.

Scholars are the most concerned about integrity and importance of wealth and honor, and power and mightiness cannot be imprisoned. Even if the Hanlin Academy knows that they cannot do it, they will not prevent them from using such a scale to measure others. The great pressure of wealth and honor has never been If it falls on yourself, you will naturally be able to close your eyes and curse others with your villain.

Xie's face looked even more ugly.

It was not that the Xie family did not extend an olive branch to Chen Jin, but Chen Jin first chose Li Dongyang's side, and then caused such a disaster. Even so, the Xie family did not dislike him much and was willing to agree with his daughter from the side. Good thing, This idiot actually chose a relative of the foreigner again!

Not to mention the relatives of the foreign country, they are still a girl with such a reputation!

It's simply self-destructive! It's so stupid!!

Xie felt angry at the head. He remembered that her husband thought she was too concerned about Shen's family affairs, so he even had to write a letter to her! Although he didn't write it in the end, his husband was also stubborn and refused to step into the inner house. Go to Xie’s house!

There is only one Shen family, just a group of things like the Shen family, she doesn’t care about it, and it’s just like this!

What about the end? She is still standing here and being humiliated!

Why did she suffer such humiliation for such a group of people!

Xie did not hide the unhappy expression on his face and responded lightly: "Since Xiao Shen's parents took care of it, my sister-in-law in the next room can help me."

The lady who asked the questioning lady was so boring that she was so embarrassed.

For a moment, everyone was not very happy to talk to Xie. Someone tried to smooth things over and talked about who was in the court and who was in the court to break the embarrassment.

However, Xie still felt depressed and no longer liked to talk to people around him. He gradually became neglected.

She felt annoyed and quarrel when someone talked to her. No one talked to her now, and she suspected that everyone was isolated. When she thought about it, she couldn't stay still.

But she still has a ray of rationality after all. Yang Tinghe was born in Hanlin and a relative of the Shen family, so she had to come.

Since I came this time, I offended people after walking halfway, so I had to force myself to endure it and no longer gathered with people, just stayed by myself.

When the senior officials who came next court arrived, the Yang family was even more lively. The three cabinet masters all came to see each other, and most of the senior officials in the ministry were there, and some people joked about the small dynasty meeting.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, the sedan chair entered the door, pushing the festive atmosphere to a climax. The newlyweds were greeted and the seat of the outer courtyard began.

Although the Yang family’s wedding was not luxurious, there were so many guests, including men and women, and there were about a hundred tables. The Yang family’s not too big yard was packed with a lot of people.

So there was also the dark-minded censor who secretly prepared to write a memorial to Yang Tinghe's extravagant book, but it was a later story.

The happy event did not come to an end until the curfew was near.

Because Shen Rui was filial and could not attend such an occasion, Chen Li and Chen Jin came to help on behalf of the Shen family, and waited until the guests were gone before saying goodbye.

Chen Jin was always in the sarcastic gaze of everyone. At first, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and got angry for several days. Later, he became used to it and didn't care anymore.

Even if you are forced, since you have made a decision, you will be a hypocritical villain if you act sorrowful and harmless.

After all, isn’t he still unable to let go of his future and dare not give up his official position and refuse to marry?

Therefore, today, Chen Jin smiled at everyone, maintained the demeanor of the top scholar, and helped Yang Shen block the wine. He also praised him for his praise - but he praised his scheming. Deep and thick-skinned.

When the banquet was gone, Xie held back his temper until the end. Seeing that Shen Li was drinking a lot of drinking, she refused to go with her and insisted on being with Chen Jin, she was even more angry.

It is not easy to make trouble in the Yang family, so Xie also took this into consideration. He deliberately ordered the servant to go and help the drunk master and Uncle Jin to get into two cars, and asked Chen Jin's coachman to drive more stably and properly Send Chen Jin back.

Chen Li was indeed not rude in the Yang family and had to get on the Xie carriage.

He didn't pay attention to Xie, and he touched the small pot in the car, took a sip of it to quench his thirst, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a sweet and sour soup.

The reason couldn't help but feel soft. Whether it was because of the warmth from home, or the Yang family prepared the situation, Xie asked someone to put it in the car, she thought about it, thinking about him drinking. ...

Before he could finish his feelings, as soon as the carriage left the Yang family neighborhood, Xie couldn't help but complain: "...I think I'm too busy with my care. I don't care about it anymore, then Chen Jin looked for something Marriage?! Even my sister-in-law in the neighborhood asked someone to poke the backbone! She also asked me if I were going to handle the marriage for him! I had been humiliated like this! It was just because of him that was not far away. People suffer such idleness…”

The drunkenness surged up, looked at Xie coldly and said, "That is his teacher, Zhang Yuanzhenti's marriage."

The three words Zhang Yuanzhen are very serious.

Xie also had a heart disease. She took action first and then submitted a report to the marriage between her daughter and Zhang Yuanzhen Changsun. Although she was justified in her words, she still knew the reason in her heart. After hearing the three words Zhang Yuanzhen, she couldn't handle it for a while.

The anger made her feel more and more uncomfortable. She finally snorted coldly: "Mr. Zhang was afraid that he would just be in a position to make peace for his relatives, but Chen Jin didn't have a brain? What should he do if he said? That's a What kind of family! What reputation does that girl have!"

Chen Li said coldly: "What is Zhang Yuanzhen but he is just a face? He wants to have more guarantees so that the Minister of the Secretariat can be transformed into the Minister of the Secretariat."

Xie snorted coldly and said sharply: "Isn't that really worthy? Mr. Zhang has been in the Ministry of Personnel for many years, and the position of Shangshu is also worthy of."

Chen Li's mouth was filled with a sarcastic smile, "Today, it is an imperial edict, and Jiao Fang is promoted to Minister of Personnel."

Xie was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "How is this possible...?!"

In fact, after the imperial edict was issued, many people sent messages to Yang's mistress. However, Xie mostly sat alone today, and only exchanged a few greetings with his acquaintances, so he stopped talking, so he never listened. People talk.

Everyone also knows that her family got married to Zhang Yuanzhen's family, who can tell her that Zhang Yuanzhen was defeated and go to challenge this?

Even if it doesn’t look at her face, it’s not appropriate to make a bad face at the Yang family’s banquet. Isn’t everyone here just to make a good relationship with the Yang family?

Xie knew that Chen Li would not lie to her, let alone such a big thing, but... she still felt unbelievable and lost her mind for a moment, and couldn't help but murmur: "...Mother said that his father also favored him, and he was also Ge ​​Lao Li's person. , Later, with the support of the Zhang family from the foreign relative, how could it be..."

Chen Li looked at her and unconsciously brought mercy, thinking to himself that Zhang Yuanzhen was defeated by the so-called support of his relatives.

Although Su Shen Rui doesn't talk much about the little emperor, Chen Li also knows what the emperor's attitude towards the Zhang family.

Especially when the Zhang family had just offended the emperor, Zhang Yuanzhen went to play with the Zhang family, and it was surprising that the emperor never got tired of him.

Xie didn't know so much, and he muttered to himself that he didn't ask for an answer. She had already immersed in her thoughts.

At the beginning, she took a fancy to Zhang Liang, the son-in-law. Although the Xie family's instructions and the family of the Minister's Mansion, it was more because she heard that Zhang Liang was really a young talent, and she felt that she was just right with her sister Mei. match.

Now, the family of the Minister's Mansion cannot be promoted to the Shangshu Mansion. Although her son-in-law's help in the future career is slightly weak, she is also from the Ministry of Personnel and has natural advantages in selecting officials.

But she was very worried that Zhang Yuanzhen had been competing with Jiao Fang for the position of Shangshu, so how could Jiao Fang let Zhang Yuanzhen's grandson not cause any hindrance?

"How could it be...How could it be..." She murmured to herself, "What should I do with Brother Liang..."

She is a woman in the inner husband, with such fixed thinking styles and only has such a big vision.

He calmly said, "What should he do if he has anything to do? How did the poor family enter the officialdom? What is the difficulty of studying for the imperial examination by himself? Even if he still has his grandfather in court, he still has to rely on his ancestors' protection?! ”

Xie was originally not aware of it, and ignored the diligence. He heard the word "grandfather" and seemed to have got some treasure. Suddenly he smiled, said yes, and said, "That's the most, I'm just thinking about his family, Forgot our family. He is also the grandson-in-law of the old master, and Jiao Fang can't touch him."

Jiao Fang was stunned. After thinking about how to taste it, she would understand what his wife was worried about, and she was stunned for a moment. It was the woman's opinion!

Before Zhang Liang could win the imperial examination, he became a Jinshi in the following year. It took at least twenty years to become a military officer. What is the reason for this? What is worth taking a job for a minister of the Ministry of Personnel over 70 years old?

But Shen Li was really lazy and explained to his wife, so he leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes to rest. He thought to himself that his wife reminded him that Chen Jin's marriage was already a date, but who would be the man's family Carrying a marriage is also a problem.

In theory, Chen Jin has a stepmother, stepmother, Xiao He family, but the He family has just been guilty for a few months. Although Xiao He is a branch and is not a criminal, Xiao He's younger brother He Pingsheng was also demoted for fraud in the scientific research. However, Xiao He could not escape a sin.

It would be fine if Chen Jin married an ordinary scholar's daughter and asked Xiao He's legitimate mother to come north to host the marriage, but Chen Jin married the Zhangzhu of the Marquis of Shouning. It would be not so appropriate for Xiao He's identity to host it. .
