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

"Oh, sir, our household department is really going to be smooth sailing now that we have money. You don't know, the national treasury is empty. How can the court use money? It's not our household department who has to think of a way. We just worry about the labor, and we are often harassed by others. It is the corruption of the Ministry that makes the treasury empty. Lord Shangshu and I are in trouble!"

Seeing the Minister of Finance being so heartfelt, Qian Xiuxian suddenly felt that the Ministry of Household Affairs really couldn't do it without him.

"Don't worry, sir. From now on, I will do my best to help the Ministry of Revenue, and I will not let the Ministry of Revenue be in such a dilemma again."

The minister could not help but give him another round of encouragement. In the next few days, he heard reports from people below him.

"Sir, some people have been inquiring about several treasury warehouses near the capital. It seems that people have evacuated in recent days."

"Okay, Mr. Qian is really capable. Huo Qingping must be planning to let go and stop looking for trouble in our household department."

As soon as the minister was happy, he immediately went to the minister to discuss. The urgent need was solved. The two adults were excited and decided to promote Qian Xiuxian immediately.

On this day, Qian Xiuxian drank with Huo Qingping as usual.

"Master Marquis, you have contributed to the country, and everyone in the world will remember your contribution. However, those of us who work in logistics have hard work without credit. In order to mobilize grain and grass, the household department is coordinating various warehouses day and night, but there is no It’s hard for us if people remember our merits!”

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Qian Xiuxian even squeezed out a few tears. He seemed to have forgotten that he had just joined the Household Department, and he had not put any effort into collecting food and grass last time.

Huo Qingping pretended to be half drunk and echoed: "In the past, I was narrow-minded. I only saw my own achievements and forgot that my brothers were helping each other behind the scenes. Go back and tell the Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister that everyone is doing this for you." I, Huo Qingping, will never intentionally cause trouble to anyone as long as I am serving the imperial court and ensure that the military rations are not in arrears. For the sake of my brother-in-law, I will let bygones be bygones."

"Okay, Mr. Hou, enjoy yourself. I'll give you another drink."

The two toasted frequently, and Qian Xiuxian almost drank himself to death before leaving the Zhongyong Hou Mansion and went straight to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for credit.

"It's done, sir, it's done. The Marquis has promised that there will be no further pursuit of the past matters."

The Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Hubu looked at Qian Xiuxian who was about to get drunk and said with great joy: "This is all the credit of Mr. Qian. The two of us discussed and promoted Mr. Qian to the position of Doctor of Hubu immediately."

"Congratulations to Mr. Qian, congratulations to Mr. Qian for your promotion."

Just one month later, Qian Xiuxian was promoted like a rocket. Meng Qingya looked at Qian Xiuxian who was so drunk, she lovingly helped him wipe the dirt from his mouth, and became a beautiful old man. Human dream.

During this period, Wu Qinfang also ran to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion every day, staring at Meng Wenyao as if looking at a dead person.

Meng Wenyao returned to the room and was even more angry when she saw Huo Qingping who only wanted to have sex.

"It's all your fault for making the old lady and Wu Qinfang think that I would die early. Now they are staring at me every day, and they must be thinking in their hearts, why am I not dead yet."

Huo Qingping stopped hurriedly and began to rack his brains to reassure: "We are already married, and Wu Qinfang is also married. They should have no other thoughts."

"Then the Marquis is really naive. Every day when I see Wu Qinfang, I feel terrified. Even if she doesn't think of how to act now, she is still very unwilling. Who knows one day she will come up with a harmful move to deal with me? body."

Patting Meng Wenyao's back gently, Huo Qingping thought: "We have to call her over, otherwise the old lady will be lonely in her later years. Let's do this. After the household affairs are settled, I will find Wu Qinfang a husband." We will be dispatched from the outside, and when the time comes that the couple will not be in the capital, Madam can rest assured."

That's not enough, Meng Wenyao urged: "Then you have to hurry up, otherwise I won't be able to withstand it anymore."

"Then tomorrow."

"Huh?" Before Meng Wenyao could ask what she would do tomorrow, she had no chance to speak.

Early the next morning, Huo Qingping kissed the sleeping Meng Wenyao and went to attend the morning court with the evidence he had collected for many days.

In the Qian Mansion, Meng Qingya woke up and saw Qian Xiuxian lying next to her. She said gently: "Husband, get up quickly, I have to go to the Yamen."

The hangover gave Qian Xiuxian a headache. He said displeasedly: "Let someone take a day off."

"Oh, husband, it's your first day of promotion, how can you just ask for leave? Besides, in the future, you will be promoted step by step and have to go to morning court every day, do you still need to ask for leave?"

Under Meng Qingya's urging, Qian Xiuxian reluctantly got up. Looking at Meng Qingya's admiring eyes, he said seriously: "You said you were dreaming that I later became the elder?"

"Yes, after you entered the Ministry of Revenue, you started to rise step by step. Before you were 30 years old, you became the elder of the cabinet."

Qian Xiuxian slapped his thigh, took Meng Qingya's hand and sighed: "I used to think it was just your idiotic dream, but now it seems that it is 80% true. I can be where I am today thanks to my wife's day and night supervision. If I really succeed in the future, When you marry the elder, you will definitely live up to your wife."

This was the first time Qian Xiu Xiu had such serious talk with Meng Qingya since they got married. She vaguely felt that Meng Wenyao had been so loved by Qian Xiu Xian in her previous life, and she would definitely do better than Meng Wenyao.

"Come here, go and post a message to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, just say..."

Before she finished speaking, a maid ran in in a panic.

"Stop, you are so frizzy, there are no rules at all." Meng Qingya scolded.

Qian Xiuxian looked at the maid who was shaking like chaff and felt that she was too shameless to be worthy of his future position as the Pavilion Elder.

"If you don't have any rules, let them go. If you buy a few more maids and train them, our Qian Mansion will not tolerate servants with such no rules in the future."

The couple turned around and began to discuss how to train their servants to be worthy of their current status in the Qian Mansion.

I saw another maid running in. Before Meng Qingya could reprimand her, she heard the maid say in horror: "It's not good, the officers and soldiers are here to ransack the house."

How is this possible? Meng Qingya said speechlessly: "Everyone has not woken up, how can..."

Before she finished speaking, a group of officers and soldiers broke in.

"This must be Mr. Qian, take him away."

After giving the order, two tall and round soldiers immediately walked out and headed straight for Qian Xiuxian.

"How dare you. I am an official of the imperial court and a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs. How can I be arrested by a rough guy like you?"

Seeing the soldiers holding Qian Xiuxian and about to leave, Meng Qingya rushed forward and shouted: "Who are you and why do you want to arrest my master? My master is the brother-in-law of Marquis Zhongyong."

The soldiers who were walking out were stunned. They didn't expect that this family had such a connection with Zhongyong Hou Mansion, which was a bit tricky.
