Mrs. Rebirth

The old lady finally decided on a matchmaker, a cousin of hers, the wife of the head of the Imperial Academy, who fit the aesthetics of a family like the Qu family.

But she said with some embarrassment: "This Qu's family is in Changping County? It's a bit far away."

Zuo Yunyang quickly replied: "The Qu family's hometown is in Changping, but it's just a coincidence that the old lady of the Qu family has come to Kyoto recently, and I'm afraid she will stay for a while."

After each imperial examination, the students on the list have a two-month vacation, and they will be assigned positions after two months. One is to allow the students to return to their hometowns to visit relatives. Know people and do well.

Qu Changqing won the second-class Jinshi, and originally wanted to return to his hometown, but it was revealed in the imperial examination that the imperial decree gave him a marriage, he was a little worried about Zuo Shaoqing, so he didn't go back, but let people spread the good news quickly go back home.

The members of the Qu family heard the great news, those who should worship the ancestors, and those who should fulfill their vows, and then the two elders of the Qu family combined, why not take this opportunity to go to Beijing to have a look.

This is why Zuo Yunyang called them suddenly, because he was sure that the most important thing for the two elders of the Qu family to go to Beijing was to marry a good girl for Qu Changqing.

If they don't do it again, when the two of them take a fancy to the official lady from another family, there will be nothing wrong with him, the Second Zuo.

"That's good!" The old lady assured with a low temper: "Since you are in the capital, it will be easy to handle. Tomorrow, the Japanese lady will ask someone to come to propose a marriage. You can wait with peace of mind."

When Zuo Yunyang got this sentence, he immediately smiled, thanked him sincerely, and then bid farewell to the old lady and Zuo Shaoqing and went home to tell his wife the good news.

Zuo Shaoqing sat with the old lady for a meeting, and heard her talk about the family affairs and personnel affairs in the mansion, who should give what gifts for weddings, who can receive gifts from others, and who can't accept gifts from others, even the age of the eldest maid in the family When it's time to release it, it's all listed.

Zuo Shaoqing listened with gusto at the beginning, but when it came to the matter of men and women, he felt a little uncomfortable. Is it really okay for him to participate in such a topic as a big man?

He opened his mouth, and asked with a bitter face: "Mother, the four maids you sent to my yard seem to be quite young, shouldn't they be married?"

The corner of the old lady's mouth raised slightly, and she asked in a good mood: "What? Did you think that the old lady was upset by deliberately asking about stuffing women in Zheng's room?"

"No..." Zuo Shaoqing looked back pitifully, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back." After all, all of them are really stunning!

The old lady's smiling face froze, and she glared at him, "I'm not promising! If you can't hold on, the old lady will never show mercy!"

Zuo Shaoqing thought with great resentment: You really didn't arrange these people to seduce me on purpose?Maybe you want me to cheat on you?

Speaking of the two ends, after Lu Zheng entered the palace, he was led to the Royal Garden by the servants, and Zhan Yuanfeng had already set up a chess game in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Lu Zheng sat cross-legged across from him, but didn't move. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Is the emperor in a hurry?"

"Haha... I know that you are newlyweds impatient to enter the palace, but today's invitation to enter the palace has something to do with your family."

Hearing that it was related to Zuo Shaoqing, Lu Zheng's expression became a little calmer, "What's the matter?"

"No rush, no rush...let's finish this game of chess with me first!" Zhan Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes with a smile, as if he was determined that Lu Zheng had to cooperate for Zuo Shaoqing.

Lu Zheng didn't have much rebellious mentality, it was just a game of chess, and when he had killed Zhan Yuanfeng to the point where he could go, Zhan Yuanfeng dropped the chess piece and made someone close.

He took a few memorials from the servant and handed them to Lu Zheng, "Let's have a look, I really don't know which yamen to let Zuo Zhuangyuan into."

Lu Zheng read it all at a glance. They were all arrangements for the candidates in this year's imperial examinations. Some stayed in Beijing, and some were released. An editor, but the position marked Zuo Shaoqing is still empty.

"Is the emperor afraid to reuse him or does he not know how to use him?" Lu Zheng put down the memorial and asked straight to the point.

Zhan Yuanfeng shook his head and smiled, and did not answer directly, "Do you know how many ministers have played in the past half a month, and you can't arrange the number one scholar of your family into the six divisions?"

"Why?" Lu Zheng's face darkened a little.

Zhan Yuanfeng took a sip from his teacup, and said cheerfully: "It's not easy, who wants to take care of Mrs. Zhen Guogong, who can't be beaten, scolded, or get close, haha..."

Lu Zheng's face darkened even more, but thinking about it, if anyone really dared to bully Zuo Shaoqing, he would be the first one not to agree. He knew Zuo Shaoqing's obsession with becoming an official, if it hindered his official way , I'm afraid he won't be happy either.

"Then what does the emperor think?"

"I might as well be honest, the Duke of Zhen's Mansion already has an important court official, and I can't resist another one. I want him to enter Yushitai."

Lu Zheng thought about Zuo Shaoqing's temperament, and shook his head affirmatively: "He is not suitable!" Zuo Shaoqing did not have the stupidity and boldness that Yushi Qingliu should have, and Yushitai, to put it bluntly, is an offending place. Only those scholars who consider themselves noble and are not afraid of offending others are willing to go.

Zhan Yuanfeng seemed to have known such an answer a long time ago, not surprised, he just explained: "You know, Yushi has the best reputation, and it is possible that his name will last forever in the future."

Zhan Yuanfeng thought very well, let Zuo Shaoqing enter Yushitai, because of his status, he must not be afraid of offending others, doesn't this agree with Yushi's request?

Lu Zheng squinted at him, did he really think that he didn't understand the twists and turns in the court when he was fighting outside?

Yushitai does have a good reputation, but not everyone can do it well, and there has never been a chief assistant from Yushitai in all dynasties.

Being an official in the court requires not only ability, but also popularity. Let's forget about this kind of thankless official position.

Lu Zheng said calmly: "Why doesn't the emperor consider the Imperial Academy? That place is full of nobles, and it has nothing to do with the Six Departments."

Zhan Yuanfeng felt a little embarrassed, and touched his nose, is he going to tell Lu Zheng that the people he can arrange into the Imperial Academy are all the people he plans to use again?

"Please let Rong Chen go back and consider this matter before discussing it." Lu Zheng couldn't decide Zuo Shaoqing's future all of a sudden. In this regard, he fully respected Zuo Shaoqing's wishes.

Zhan Yuanfeng didn't expect that Mr. Lu, who has always been uncompromising, would need to discuss issues with others, he was slightly shocked, and then joked with a smile: "I don't know that Mr. Zhen is a strict wife! Hahaha ..."

Lu Zheng didn't take his teasing seriously at all, and got up to leave, but was told by Zhan Yuanfeng that the Ministry of Industry had newly developed a new crossbow bolt, and asked him to take a look at it when he had time.

"Arranged on a warship?"

Zhan Yuanfeng nodded, and said with bright eyes: "It is similar to the ones you brought back before, but the Ministry of Industry has modified the size and length of the arrows. It is definitely not worse than those!"

"Oh?" Lu Zheng was surprised by the speed of the Ministry of Industry, and Yuan Feng left for the Ministry of Industry immediately.

It was already a starry night when he returned to Zhen Guogong's mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zuo Shaoqing waiting for him to eat.

"Why don't you eat first?" It was the first time that Lu Zheng experienced the feeling of someone waiting for food when he came home. After washing his hands and changing his clothes, he sat down beside Zuo Shaoqing.

Zuo Shaoqing poured a glass of warm wine for him, and asked, "Has the emperor kept the meal?"

Lu Zheng shook his head: "I went to the Ministry of Industry once, so I don't have to wait after the time has passed." He used to go to the military camp, and the time of going back and forth was not fixed, so the Zhen Guo Gongfu didn't have the habit of waiting for him to eat.

"It's okay, I won't be hungry after eating too much tea in the afternoon." As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled without shame, and the shy Zuo Shaoqing wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Lu Zheng laughed and touched his stomach, Patted, "It seems that the stomach is still honest!" After finishing speaking, he served a bowl of soup for Zuo Shaoqing, and watched him drink it before moving his chopsticks.

The two ate an outdated dinner, and then took a walk in the yard. Lu Zheng explained the reason for meeting today, and asked Zuo Shaoqing what he thought.

The moonlight was like water, and Lu Zheng's heart softened when he saw the young man snuggling beside him, "I know that marrying into the Duke of Zhen's mansion is not as beautiful as it looks on the surface. This mansion is both an honor and a hindrance, which is not good for you."

Zuo Shaoqing had thought about these issues a long time ago, but there is no perfect thing in the world, being able to marry Lu Zheng and become an official is already the best of both worlds.

He thought about it carefully, and asked Lu Zheng for his opinion: "I'm not interested in Yushitai. The Imperial Academy can't do practical things. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Households is in charge of a country's money and food. I must not be able to touch it. The Ministry of War is already your world." , It’s useless for me to go, there is Jiang Che in the Ministry of Officials, I can’t avoid it, the Ministry of Punishment is too involved with all parties, the reputation of Yu Zhen Guo’s government is not good, the Ministry of Rites... Forget it, how about the Ministry of Industry?”

Lu Zheng hugged him and sat down in the gazebo in the yard, "Your analysis is reasonable, but this Ministry of Industry...is a very clean water yamen, not only has limited contacts, but also can't be free."

Zuo Shaoqing leaned against him, holding his ten fingers to play with, "I understand, but just now I heard you talk about the Ministry of Industry, I just came up with this idea temporarily. Do something for your place."

"You can see clearly." Lu Zheng frowned, knowing that Zuo Shaoqing had seen Zhan Yuanfeng's mind clearly, and didn't know whether it was happiness or worry for a moment.

His Zuo Shaoqing is so intelligent, not only three yuan and first grade at a young age, but also very mature in judging people and things, I really don't know how he grew up.

Thinking of the sentence: Huiji will be hurt, love will last forever, Lu Zheng tightened his arms, leaned his chin on the head of the person in his arms, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"Okay! Then go to the Ministry of Industry!"

Zuo Shaoqing bit Lu Zheng's finger and smiled, "Grandpa Lu is so swearing, are you sure that the emperor will agree?"

"He has no reason to refuse!" Lu Zheng said affirmatively and firmly.

Zuo Shaoqing smiled to himself for a while, then pulled Lu Zheng and asked, "Then do you know where Brother Qu was assigned?"

Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, "Why are you asking this? Do you still want to be an official with your Brother Qu?"

Zuo Shaoqing suppressed a smile, nodded and replied: "Of course it would be the best if I can go to the same place as Brother Qu!" Before Lu Zheng could get angry, he continued: "Mother in the afternoon has already agreed to help Brother Qu and my eldest sister. line, I'm afraid I should change my name to brother-in-law in the near future."

Lu Zheng's frown eased, and he said in a flat tone: "That's a pity, your future brother-in-law is highly valued by the emperor, and you have been accused of being the magistrate of Changping County."

Zuo Shaoqing let out an "ah" in surprise. He originally thought that Qu Changqing would be assigned a small place, maybe a small county magistrate, but he didn't expect to be a Tongzhi of Changping County. The official position from the sixth grade is really good. up.

"Then I have to tell Second Uncle to hurry up. I'm afraid that many families will miss such a young talent."

Lu Zheng doesn't care which family Qu Changqing misses, as long as he doesn't miss him.

Zuo Shaoqing didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he told Lu Zheng about the arrangements for servants in the yard today, and when he talked about letting Luo Xiaoliu manage Qinglu Garden, he smiled unkindly: "Little Liu, that idiot , I really thought I had sent him a good job!"

"It's up to you to decide these matters. If it's an eyesore, just kick it out!" Lu Zheng obviously caught the point of Zuo Shaoqing's words.

Zuo Shaoqing rolled his eyes at him, "That's not okay, although I'm not afraid of spreading a reputation of being jealous, but these few look good, and it's hard to convince people to exclude people for no reason!"

Lu Zheng didn't care, he just replied: "You can figure it out."

As the night deepened, Qingluyuan's master bedroom was full of beauty. The big red bed curtain that had not been removed was gently floating by the evening wind. Two naked bodies were intertwined on the bed, and the moans that made people blush lasted for a long time.

And in the wing room not far from the master bedroom, Luo Xiaoliu lay powerlessly on the bed, his shoulders protruding from the quilt were covered with traces of love, tears were hanging from the corners of his eyes, and he was cursing softly.

The door was pushed open, Luo Xiaoliu jumped up in shock, but it caused unbearable pain from the waist down.

"Ouch...you...don't come here..." Luo Xiaoliu supported his waist with one hand, and pointed angrily at the man who entered the door with the other.

Yin approached step by step with a water basin on one end, ignoring Luo Xiaoliu's cannibalistic gaze, twisted the veil and moved forward.

"Yinyi, you bastard!...Ah...it hurts...you get out of here!"

Yin moved ungentlely to clean up the stains on Luo Xiaoliu's body, and when Luo Xiaoliu became dumb, he said calmly, "This seems to be my room!"

"You..." Luo Xiaoliu blushed, staring at him with smoke rising from his head, "If it wasn't for you...if it wasn't for abducting me in, would you think that I love coming to your crappy house?"

Yin Yi threw away the handkerchief in his hand, stuffed Luo Xiaoliu into the bed, and the man followed him in, then extinguished the candle with his palm, hugged him and said, "Okay, everyone is here, sleep... ...Aren't you tired? Let's do it again?"

"Get out!" Luo Xiaoliu tried his best not to push the person away, fearing that he would really start to move again, he hurriedly wrapped the quilt tightly, and complained in a crying voice: "I must tell the third master tomorrow, you are a beast asshole!"

He just owed this man a condition, and this bastard dared to say that he was born to agree to such... such a shameless condition, if he didn't agree to it, he would force it, what a beast!

If it wasn't that he couldn't beat this bastard, he would definitely slap him to death, lest he harm this good young man.

Luo Xiaoliu decided to sue him for his evil deeds tomorrow, so that the third master can recognize his true colors, and also give himself justice.

He also doesn't want to pay for his life in secret, either lie down and let himself have the last time, retaliate with an eye, or repay it with gold and silver.

The young man in the brothel spends the night with someone and still has a night salary, so why should he be raped by this bastard for nothing?

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he became, Luo Xiaoliu just fell asleep in a daze...
