Xiao Jiaojiao suffered from morning sickness and had many babies, and was pampered by Qing Leng'

In the next two days, Xie Yuan would go to the teahouse to sit for a while every day. Due to the matter of the fifth prince's concubine, Kyoto was very lively. First, it was reported that the Holy Emperor was preparing to propose the fifth prince's marriage again, but then the news disappeared.

Xie Yuan had long expected this outcome. He knew from beginning to end that what Song Ren wanted was not a helpful outsider, but to enter the court.

You must know that several other princes have already held real power and have been serving in various ministries for a long time. Only Song Ren has not been favored by the emperor and has remained idle at home until now. But it is different now.

The fifth prince's concubine died. This was the time for the Holy Emperor to take pity on Song Ren, and the proposed marriage was stopped. In a short period of time, he would only feel that he owed his son even more, and would definitely try to compensate Song Ren in other ways.

If Song Ren plans well this time, he can enter the court.

Knowing that he could no longer hear any useful news at the teahouse, Xie Yuan put down his tea money and went to East Second Street. It's been two days, and there should be results on his side.

In a small noodle shop, Xie Yuan looked at the middle-aged man walking over and ordered another bowl of noodles.

The middle-aged man said nothing, ate the noodles as quickly as possible, and stretched out his hand towards Xie Yuan. After their hands touched for a few times, Xie Yuan suddenly had a note in his hand. .

He calmly put away the note and readily took out a banknote and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was slightly surprised that Xie Yuan didn't bargain this time, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

"There is no change, you can give me half of the change." Xie Yuan said calmly.

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes, turned around and walked out.

"Pay the money before leaving."

Middle-aged man: "..."

But it was all small money. Seeing how cheerful Xie Yuan was today, the middle-aged man paid the money and left.

After Xie Yuan and others left, they stayed in the noodle shop for a while. It wasn't until a beggar outside nodded at him that no one was watching them. Xie Yuan then returned to Qingshi Hutong.

After a while, in the study, Xie Yuan took out the note from his arms. After reading it, he fell into deep thought.

There are vacancies in the Ministry of Husbandry, Dali Temple, Hanlin Academy, and the Ministry of Rites, and there are some good positions among them. However, these good seats were directly excluded by Xie Yuan. First, the other princes would not let Song Ren sit in those seats, and secondly, Song Ren would not sit there.

Xie Yuan thought of this and took out the note again. This time his eyes were fixed on the Ministry of Works. They were both in the sixth department. The Ministry of Works was considered the lowest among all departments.

His presence in the court was not strong and he had almost no power. Moreover, it was difficult to achieve anything in the Ministry of Works, and he had to take the blame for occasional floods, bridges, embankments, etc.

By going to the Ministry of Industry, Song Ren would not only be able to stay away from trouble as he is now, but other princes and emperors would also feel at ease.

In the current environment, the Ministry of Industry is Song Ren's best choice. Xie Yuan burned the note and slowly closed his eyes. Whether Song Ren was planning for the Ministry of Industry or not, the result must be coming soon.

On the fifth day of August, at noon, Xie Yuan came out of the restaurant and entered a pastry shop. He had been in Kyoto for four days. No matter what happened to Song Ren, he would return to Wanping. He has not forgotten his promise to Jiang Mingyue. Besides, after not returning for a long time, she might be thinking wildly.

Xie Yuan bought pastries, a bag of preserves and candies, and then went to a roast duck shop to order a roast duck. Since it would take an hour to prepare, Xie Yuan went to a nearby bookstore.

Time passed bit by bit, and seeing that an hour had come, Xie Yuan put down his books and just walked out of the bookstore when a young man came over. The two looked at each other. The young man handed him a note and left quickly.

Xie Yuan walked to a deserted place, opened the note, and smiled when he read the content on it. Song Ren, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, should not be underestimated.

After Xie Yuan accepted the note and felt relieved, he went to the roast duck shop, took out the roast duck and left Beijing.

In Jinxiufang, Jiang Mingyue saw off a customer and saw that she would get off work soon. She walked to the counter and saw that Zhang Shanshan was doing the accounting. She did not bother her and waited quietly.

After a while, Zhang Shanshan wrote down a number, looked up at Jiang Mingyue and said, "Sister Mingyue, what's the matter?"

Jiang Mingyue nodded.

"I want to take a day off tomorrow."

Then she told Zhang Shanshan the reason for the leave.

Zhang Shanshan readily agreed.

When work was over, Jiang Mingyue read Chapter 6 and Wang Shuan cleaned out another batch of cloth, bought two large bags, and walked out of Jinxiu Square. She subconsciously took a look around, but did not see Xie Yuan. She was somewhat disappointed.

However, Jiang Mingyue believed that Xie Yuan would definitely return today. Since he promised her that he would go to Linjia Village with her tomorrow, he would not break his promise. She just didn't know when he would return, and what was the situation in Kyoto now.

Xie Yuan came back quite early this time. At that time, Jiang Mingyue and his sister were just preparing to have dinner.

Jiang Mingyue walked out of the main hall quickly, looked at the man who walked in and smiled.

"came back!"

Xie Yuan looked at the smiling person, walked up to her in a few steps, held her hand and said, "Well, I'm back. How have you been at home these days? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, except missing you."

Xie Yuan smiled and said warmly, "I miss you too."

Jiang Minghong looked at the two people standing at the door, coughed and said: "Brother-in-law, come in and eat!"

Xie Yuan took out the roast duck from his arms, handed it to Jiang Mingyue and said, "You go in first, I'll wash my hands and come back."

Jiang Mingyue said "Hmm" loudly: "Pomegranate, get some water for Brother Xie."

After a while, Xie Yuan washed his hands and walked into the main hall, sat next to Jiang Mingyue, took the steamed bun from her hand, looked at Jiang Minghong and asked: "Who will take the class during my absence these days?"

"Lin Hanshan!" Jiang Minghong said.

"how?"

"It's very good. He teaches very practical things. Fang Han and the others like him very much."

Xie Yuan knew that Fang Han and the others were all from a poor family.

"As long as you can adapt."

Jiang Mingyue waited for the two of them to talk and asked, "Is Sister Xie Rou okay there?"

Jiang Minghong's ears immediately perked up.

"The Fifth Prince's Mansion has been in chaos recently. I haven't seen my sister, but she should be fine. When I come back..."

When Xie Yuan told the two about Song Ren, in Liuxiang Alley, Shen Jiaoniang saw that it was time for the banquet to begin, but many people had not come. She turned to look at her husband, who looked not very good-looking, and held him comfortingly. hand.

At the door of Tian's house, Mrs. Tian ate melon seeds and said loudly: "Some people usually look like dogs and have a lot of friends, but when they are doing things, none of their colleagues come to congratulate them. It's really embarrassing."

Shen Jiaoniang looked at Mr. Tian who was gloating about his misfortune, with a fierce light in her eyes.

Chen Fugui squeezed his wife's hand and said warmly: "No wait, let's start the banquet!"

"it is good!"

As Shen Jiaoniang shouted, firecrackers and suonas sounded, and the alley suddenly became lively.

Looking at this scene, Mrs. Tian sneered and moved the stool back home.
