The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"Of course I want to retaliate in kind, but I haven't thought of a good way yet."

Meng Wenyao was worried that her words would displease Huo Qingping and that she would feel that she was not gentle and kind enough. Just as she was about to add a few words, she heard Huo Qingping praise: "Well, as expected of my, Huo Qingping's woman, how can I let others bully me at will?" I won’t fight back, but I have a better idea about this matter, Madam, how about you listen to it?”

Huo Qingping quickly finished the suggestion in Meng Wenyao's ear, and Meng Wenyao shouted: "My husband is still brave, this is draining fuel from the bottom of the cauldron!"

The protagonists in question, Meng Qingya and his wife, were still thinking about how to get promoted.

Yesterday, Meng Qingya's plan to frame Meng Wenyao failed, and Meng Qingya was actually worried all night. Later, she thought that Meng Wenyao was not harmed anyway, and Huo Qingping did not have any misunderstandings. For the sake of relatives, there should be no problems.

At worst, the relationship between the two sisters will be cold in the future. Anyway, the relationship between her and Meng Wenyao was also very cold before.

So on the next day, she went to visit her friends as if nothing had happened, hoping to make some connections and help Qian Xiuxian find a way out.

When she returned home after a busy day, she saw Qian Xiuxian waiting for her with the red sky full of lights.

"Husband, is there any happy event?"

"I'm so happy. You keep saying that I can get into the Ministry of Household Affairs, and that the Minister of Household Affairs appreciates me. I don't believe it. Guess what will happen today?"

Meng Qingya's tired body immediately became energetic. She took Qian Xiuxian's hand and said, "Husband, please tell me, is there a way to enter the household department?"

Qian Xiuxian looked at Meng Qingya, and he was more pleasing to the eye than before. He didn't show off, and said hurriedly: "It's more than just a connection! I don't know which noble person appreciates me and asks me to report to the Ministry of Household Affairs tomorrow and be directly promoted to the position of Cangbu The position of principal.”

Following Qian Xiuxian's words, Meng Qingya's grin grew wider and wider, and finally she smiled from ear to ear: "Now that the war in the north has been calmed down, the Household Department has no major money and food transfers, and no rights to interfere. My husband has entered the Household Department at this time. , it’s a good time to make a big splash.”

"You don't understand this," Qian Xiuxian corrected Meng Qingya: "Although the war in the north has been calmed down, the Ministry of Revenue still moved here and there to grab the army rations this time. It happened to be that the world was at peace. The most important thing for the department now is to organize and fill up the warehouses in various places so that this kind of chaos will not happen again next time. As for your husband and I, the head of the warehouse department, I hold the most important position in the household department now."

Thinking of Qian Xiuxian's suggestion about the Ministry of Household Affairs in his previous life, which directly attracted the attention of the Minister of Household Affairs and his rapid rise since then, Meng Qingya felt that Qian Xiuxian's opportunity had come.

She thought about her repeated pleas to Meng Wenyao, but all failed. Now Qian Xiuxian had easily won the position of head of the household department, and she regretted that she had been too humble before.

"All of this is destined by God. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have made any plans for the Zhongyong Hou Mansion."

Qian Xiuxian, who was in high spirits, immediately became energetic when he heard about the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. He pulled Meng Qingya and said earnestly: "Today, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance invited me to drink. He specifically said that when Zhongyong Hou was fighting at the border, the delivery of money and food to the Ministry of Households was slow. I was very dissatisfied. I heard that I was even clamoring to sue the household department for failing to do things well.

Now that I have entered the Household Department, Marquis Zhongyong and I are brothers-in-law. The Minister of Servants asked me to go to the House of Marquis Zhongyong more often, asking the Marquis to show his respect and let the Household Department go. "

These words were like a basin of cold water poured on Meng Qingya's head. She retorted: "The mobilization of military rations has its own court laws. How can it be that he, Huo Qingping, can do whatever he wants? This household department is too courageous. Your Majesty If you pamper Marquis Zhongyong, will Hubu lose his backbone?"

"Madam, what are you talking about?"

When Qian Xiuxian thought that he and Huo Qingping were brothers-in-law and could bridge the gap between Huo Qingping and Hu Bu, he had already thought about inviting him to dinner and drinks, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the head by Meng Qingya.

"Do you know how many Hanlin there are in the Hanlin Academy, how many Jinshi are there every three years, how many can enter the Ministry of Household Affairs, and how many can be promoted after entering the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"As long as I keep the Ministry of Revenue from causing trouble regarding the military rations, even the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will appreciate me. And do you think the Ministry of Revenue asked me to become an official for some reason? Isn't it because I want to find a bridge to talk to Huo Qingping? You actually Call me and Huo Qingping Hard Steel, do you think it’s too easy for me to become an official?”

"Let me tell you clearly, at tonight's banquet, most of the ministers were talking about how to get Huo Qingping to turn off the fire. Don't hold on to the household department. If I hadn't been able to deal with Huo Qingping, I wouldn't have been able to serve as an official for a few days. .”

Meng Qingya was scolded by Crackling, and when she thought of turning around to please Meng Wenyao, she refused with every pore.

"Husband, the problem in the Household Department can be solved. You just need to think of better suggestions and straighten out the account books and warehouse in the Household Department. You are not afraid that Huo Qingping will go to the emperor to complain."

In his last life, Huo Qingping didn't file a complaint against the Ministry of Household Affairs. He must have had no evidence and was just pretending to be powerful.

Qian Xiuxian's joyful expression was extinguished little by little by Meng Qingya. He threw away the sleeve Meng Qingya was holding and said angrily: "Think carefully, don't be stubborn."

The couple was speechless all night. On the next day, Qian Xiuxian went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to go on duty with high spirits, but was pulled by the Minister of Household Affairs and told him again.

"There was a war in the north some time ago. To be honest, not only did we transport less military rations, but we also ran out of sand. The treasury really didn't have the money and food. Now I heard that Marquis Zhongyong is collecting evidence everywhere and wants to sue our Ministry of Revenue. You are the brothers-in-law. , Whether the household department can avoid this disaster depends entirely on you, Mr. Qian."

After the minister finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Qian Xiuxian.

Qian Xiuxian was surprised and happy to be entrusted with the important task. He hurriedly helped the minister and said, "I can't do it. This is what I should do. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

From then on, Qian Xiuxian came to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion to deliver posts every day.

At the beginning, he handed over three posts, and Huo Qingping only invited him into the house once, drank tea and talked nonsense, and then politely sent him away.

Slowly, every time he submitted a post, Huo Qingping would let him into the house. The two of them gradually changed from drinking tea to drinking, and started talking about court affairs.

Huo Qingping complained that the war was difficult and that the military rations could not keep up later. Qian Xiuxian praised Huo Qingping for his bravery and explained without any trace that the household department also had difficulties and that there were too many places to spend money.

In this way, in less than half a month, Qian Xiuxian felt that his relationship with Huo Qingping was as close as brothers, and Huo Qingping would definitely look out for his face and stop pestering the Ministry of Rites.

Even when he returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs and saw the Vice Minister, he patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Sir, the Marquis has a good opinion of me now. After I spared no effort to explain to the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Marquis gradually understood Due to the difficulties faced by our household department, we have begun to restrain our subordinates and no longer secretly investigate the military ration matters in the household department."
