259 Troubles (Mujin 1390* and Shibi+)

So he is really busy this year.

Since the Duke of Lu pulled Zeng Mi's ranking to the end, Zeng Mi once asked him to speak in front of Ji Zhenyuan and recommended him to the rear barracks. He just casually dealt with it. Next, Zeng Mi and his wife showed a perseverance, and the number of trips to the four-leaf alley became more and more frequent.

Zeng Mi naturally began to put aside his work as a picture. He frequently "accidentally" with Xie Rong outside. If he met him in a restaurant, he would pay for him. If he met him in Babao Hutong, he would pay for his favorite antiques. Xie Rong did not lack his little filial piety, but if he refused So it came and went. Nowadays, many people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice know that Zeng's deputy envoy has a relationship with their boss.

However, in Xie Rong's eyes, he is still just a noble son who is good at drilling. He will not be too enthusiastic about him, nor has he deliberately alienated him.

Isn't it just for a post-military camp experience? At the beginning, he worked so hard in Jinfu for a small editorial job. Zeng Mi is just one of the people who kowtow to the future in front of him. He has endured so much picky cold eyes and slack, and he will let Zeng Mi taste it. If he doesn't taste it, how can he cherish such an opportunity? How can he feel that this position is not easy to come by?

Of course, this can also be regarded as a test. If he had been sincere and reliable, he would not mind taking him under the door. Now in the Taiping period, it is impossible to make a military merit. If a military officer wants to be promoted, he can only bend down in front of the civil servant.

And he really needs to cultivate a few connections for himself.

On this day, Guo Xing passed Siyehu and entered Xie's house at the same time. Xie Rong entertained him in the pavilion in the back garden.

Guo Xing has now been demoted from a servant of Zheng Sanpin to a five-grade official. In the past six months, his arrogance has been much lower. First of all, he was scolded by Ji Zhenyuan for the matter of Su Ji. When he returned to his house, he quarreled with the Ji family. He didn't have a Xie Rong often accompanied him, which was considered to be through.

Xie Rong made tea for him: "The teacher is ready to move it for you. After all, you are his son-in-law, and you won't be wronged for long."

Guo Xing sighed and took the tea with a long breath, and there was no excitement he should have.

Xie Rong didn't know how to comfort him. Guo Xing seemed to have entered a strange circle. He married Ji's family according to his parents' wishes and got the protection from Ji Zhenyuan. This was originally a profitable business, but obviously men want more than so much. In addition to ambition, there is also desire * hope. With Ji's family, he Sacrificing part of other desires, Guo Xing did not fight with himself, so he played with fire.

While they were chatting, Pang Fu said that Mr. and Mrs. Zeng Mi came to the door.

Guo Xing sat up straight and said, "It seems that Zeng Mi is cruel to you. Should I avoid it?"

Xie Rong paused and said, "No, I guess he also knows that you are here."

Pang Fu took Zeng Mi to the pavilion. As soon as Xie Rong introduced him, Zeng Mi showed a sudden look and said to Guo Xing to the end: "It turned out to be Lord Guo. I've been looking forward to you for a long time!"

Guo Xing has been frank all the way in his life. At present, even if he is demoted, he is the son-in-law of Ji Zhenyuan, the first assistant cabinet minister. His identity is always different than others, so he has always been calm about the adjective of the officials. He raised his hand and arched his hand to Zeng Mi, so he asked him to sit on the side of the round table. He said, "Don't Vice Envoy Zeng have to go to the five-city camp to work today?"

Zeng Mi sighed and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of Lord Guo's jokes. Since the end of the order to investigate the brothel, the brothers of the soldiers and horses in the five cities have taken turns to take a big holiday. The servants speak lightly and have never taken on any important affairs in the Although I often hate that it can't be realized, I can only mix it like this for the time being.

Guo Xing and Xie Rong looked at each other and smiled, "The deputy envoy Zeng was full of heroism. How could he say dejected words? I believe that the Duke of Lu is a person who knows people and makes good use of people. If he has the opportunity, he will naturally consider the deputy envoy first.

"My little brother is old and old, and he is no longer young." Zeng Mi shook his head and bowed his head and said, "To tell the truth, Brother Guo, I am looking forward to entering the rear barracks. The barracks are in charge of my whole northern border. I will definitely make great achievements. Therefore, I also hope that the two adults can help in the next one and give them the next opportunity to be loyal to the country. In the future, I, Guang Enbo Mansion, will definitely advance and retreat with the two adults.

Xie Rong was speechless.

Every time Zeng Mi came here before, he mainly wanted to make friends. Today, he figured out the purpose. Most of the time, he wanted to take advantage of Guo Xing here to win one more point in a straightforward way. He wants to win over Zeng Mi. This person has a clear purpose, and he is willing to give up this face. There must be a lot of things worth using in the future. Originally, he planned to delay him for a while, but now in front of Guo Xing, he can't neglect him anymore.

Guo Xing doesn't have a deep city. Naturally, he didn't expect that he wanted to take Zeng Mi under his command. If he was hot-headed for a moment and recommended him directly to Ji Zhenyuan, then he really didn't get enough. Not only will Zeng Mi not take him seriously in the future, but he will also have a reputation for indifference among the nobles, which is extremely detrimental to his development of power.

So Zeng Mi's enlightenment prompted him to make up his mind.

"I have something else to do with Lord Guo today. Come back to my house tomorrow."

Zeng secretly got his words, and suddenly knew that there was a play. He was ecstatic and quickly stood up to say goodbye.

Guo Xing looked at him away and withdrew his eyes and said, "This man is very exquisite. If you can help him, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Xie Rong paused, took the pot to add tea for him, and said with a smile, "It's just that he has come here so many times, and his family is a good relationship with my Xie family. I can't help but help him."

Guo Xing nodded, and there was no doubt about it.

Xie Wan soon learned the news that she was preparing to go to Mrs. Wei's appointment.

She called Qian Zhuang, and Qian Zhuang reported before she could speak: "Madam, Xie Rong has found a husband and son-in-law for Xie Wei again. He is also a little sergeant with no background, and this time he has reached the stage of discussing marriage without a sound. What should I do this time?"

Xie Wan frowned. Xie Rong really spared no effort to find a minion for himself, but this kind of thing can't be repeated. How to stop it for a while? After thinking about it, she said, "Go to find a fortune teller and find an opportunity to talk in the man's room. Just say that they are not in line with Xie Wei, and forced marriage may be a bloody disaster."

No one will risk their lives to book this marriage, but although it can be solved this time, what should we do next time? You have to think of a way once and for all.

She played with the hairpin in her hand for a while. After a moment, she turned around and said, "Is there anyone reliable to tell Xie Wei that the door will not bring us future troubles?"

As long as Xie Wei marries someone who can't be used by Xie Rong at all, there is basically no need to worry about this.

Qian Zhuang said, "Unless it's a ruffian or a mud leg. But Xie Rong won't agree with such a person!"

So it's still difficult to do.

Xie Wan suddenly felt a headache, but it was still important to deal with Zeng Mi's business first.

She asked Yuxue to take the letter to Mrs. Wei. She first went to Fengshu Hutong and invited Hong Lianzhu all the way to Wei Mansion.

Because she is now labeled as Mrs. Abandoned Grandson, it is inconvenient. After all, the less trouble Wei Bin is, the more beneficial it is to them. Although this kind of exchange is not a bad rule, the palace can't handle anything about them. In the end, she should avoid suspicion or avoid suspicion, so she invited Hong Lianzhu to

Xie Lang works with Wei Bin, and there is always a name when he goes with Hong Lianzhu. Although she is Xie Lang's sister, in fact, she can't cover up anything, but sometimes the world is like this. When you think it doesn't matter whether to cover up or not, people may really take this as the reason, and when you have some scruples, the other party will not directly stare at you.

Entering the flower hall and sitting down, Mrs. Wei took Xie Wan to sit in front of her. Hong Lianzhu looked at them with a smile.

Mrs. Wei said, "I'm a little fat. It's good. Is there any movement?"

Xie Wan blushed and shook his head.

Hong Lianzhu smiled and said, "It's still early. It's not too late to be pregnant next year."

Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "That's true. It's good for adults and children to be reborn when they are older. He looked at Hong Lianzhu again and said, "You have been married for almost a year. You should be ready, right?"

Hong Lianzhu blushed and said with a smile, "Madam, I'm talking about it again."

Mrs. Wei smiled and let her go.

After greeting for a while, Xie Wan talked about the business. "The last time I asked my wife about the vacancy in the rear barracks. I heard that the soldiers and horses of the five cities were competing, so I also asked my wife to help tell Wei Ge Lao that if someone nominates Shi Zeng Mi, the deputy commander of Nancheng,

Although the vacancy in this battalion is a matter of the Ministry of War, the transfer of the Ministry of War is a matter of the whole court. Ji Zhenyuan, as the first auxiliary cabinet minister, has a certain weight in this kind of thing. Before she rushed to Zeng's secret attack, she had to prevent this possibility.

Mrs. Wei said, "Isn't Zeng Mi's family the Nanyuan Ren family? That's not a good family either.

Now she doesn't know much about the affairs of the Xie family. She is deeply disdainful about Mrs. Ren's collusion with the Wang family to set an ambush on Xie Wan. I didn't expect that Zeng Mi was also a person who specializes in crooked ways. She is not a person who can't tolerate going through the back door, but someone like Zeng Mi, who knows that Yin Yu has been abolished, and Ji Zhenyuan is brazenly supporting Yin Yao, and he would rather choose them.

However, everyone has their own aspirations, so she can't say anything more.

Thinking of Xie Wan's words just now, he said, "Since you have said this, I understand. I'll talk to our master later. If you can try not to let him do it, try not to let him do it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. The days are still long, and there will always be times when they can't get what they want.

Xie Wan nodded, "This is nature."

She will be ready for everything. If she doesn't cut off the relationship between Zeng Mi and Xie Rong this time, she will have other plans. In a word, she has found reassurance here, which is equivalent to buying more time. RS
