The emperor is embarrassed

Ming Zhan is wearing a black thin silk dragon robe embroidered with golden dragons, and a gold silk crown on his head. Mi Tao'er's face is a bit more majestic.

On today's ribbon-cutting day, Ming Zhan didn't call any ministers and ministers to follow him. He only called Ouyang Ke, the minister of rites, and the doctoral teachers from the Imperial College, and selected a few people to cut the ribbon together.

Ming Zhan gave a speech first.

In Ruan Hongfei's view, Ming Zhan has an innate advantage in speech, with a high voice, and he can howl for two miles at ordinary times, making people half-deaf.

Ming Zhan was not tall enough, so he ordered the guards to move a chair, Ming Zhan stood on top of it, and immediately became a bit taller, those people in the back row who were depressed because they couldn't see the emperor, suddenly saw the emperor's dragon face, and were excited good or bad.

Ming Zhan said, "I've wanted to see you for a long time, but I haven't come because what I'm going to face is you, the proud sons of heaven, and the future of the country. I'm so nervous."

"I was thinking, what should I tell you? The words of the sages, you are more familiar than I read, so I don't need to repeat them." Ming Zhan stretched out two fingers and said loudly, "Two sentences, the first One sentence, the library, I have built it for you. I will invite you, learned gentlemen. Don’t disappoint your youth. The second sentence, the book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own golden house, There are thousands of bells in the book. Books can change fate, don’t let me down.”

Ming Zhan asked the officials to cut the ribbon together, and had lunch together in the canteen of the Guozijian before returning to the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, Ming Zhan proudly asked Ruan Hongfei, "How was my speech?"

Ruan Hongfei replied, "It doesn't make any sense."

Ming Zhan was angry at first, and then happy, clapping his hands and winking with a smile, "Feifei, are you jealous of me? Hehe, just say you're jealous, I know it." Humming a song narcissistically, he ran to take a bath .

Ruan Hongfei had nothing to say except to roll his beautiful eyes.Get up, follow Ming Xiaopang's footsteps, and go to the mandarin duck bath together.

Ming Zhan only found out about the Xu family's farce later, so he didn't mention it much.Just when Xu San wanted to donate money around the bush, he smiled, "Xu Qing, in my opinion, one of your daughters is worth three sons."

Xu San looked as if he met a confidant on the road, "To tell you the truth, this minister also thinks so. Since there is only this one daughter, I can't help pampering her more on weekdays."

"You are a lucky one." Ming Zhan's words made Xu San drink green honey in his heart.

Xu San's eyes were slightly wet. He was not moved by Ming Zhan's words, but he just felt that he had finally found the most accurate and incomparable path. As long as he followed this path, he would be brilliant.

Every man who enters the officialdom is not without ambition, especially Xu San, who used to be Sanyuan Jidi.When everyone thought that he would go straight to Qingyun in a smooth sailing, what was waiting for him was 15 years of his career as a scholar in the Imperial Academy.

One emperor and one courtier.

Life is always unpredictable, even so, Xu San has to thank the heavens, at least, he waited until the emperor who reused him.

Seeing that Xu San suddenly shed two lines of tears, Ming Zhan sighed and sighed, could it be that his provocative skills have increased again, and said with a smile, "Xu Qing, what's wrong with you?"

Xu San wiped away his tears, and said with a smile, "I'm really happy, I'm so disrespectful."

Ming Zhan was slightly stunned, thinking, it turned out that it wasn't his own provocative skills that had risen, it was clearly the old boss Xu's extraordinary provocative skills.

Xu San had always doted on his daughter, but now even the emperor praised his daughter, so he couldn't help talking to his wife when he got home.

Mrs. Xu was arranging the marriage of her second son, while worrying about her daughter's remarriage. She was overjoyed when she heard the words, "Even the emperor said that our daughter is good. This rumor is about to go out. It will be much easier for our daughter to talk about getting married."

Xu San originally had a crush on Song Yao, the No. [-] martial artist for his daughter, but Song Yao was sent to the northwest by Ming Zhan. He didn't know when he would come back. He really wanted to find another hero.

However, this second marriage is no better than the first marriage, even if Xu Yingyu's father is the Minister of the Household Department, generally no one would want to marry a divorced woman.

Those who want to propose marriage because of Xu San's status, Xu San doesn't necessarily like them.

For a while, Xu San was in a dilemma, and comforted his wife, "I'm watching from outside, so I can't be in a hurry. My daughter has always had her own opinions, so I still need to listen to her opinion when I talk to her about getting married."

The husband and wife had a good discussion, but another letter came from my family.

After Xu Fu returned to Huaiyang, he did not send his aunt this time.Anyway, there are not many other things in the imperial capital, and the nunnery is still enough. Mrs. Xu got angry and sent her cronies to take Xu Yingyu to Huaiyang, saying that she missed her granddaughter.

That woman is Mrs. Xu's most important son, her surname is Su, and she is called Madam Su.Mother Su gave a half-smile, "Mrs. Tai was terrified when she heard that the girl had reconciled with her husband's family. She was afraid that she would be wronged, so she ordered her servants to take her to her hometown to relax. Mrs. Tai said that if the third wife and three The master is reluctant to part with the girl, so Mrs. Tai has no choice but to come and visit the girl and the old lady in person."

Mrs. Xu almost fainted out of anger, what to do!

As if she didn't see Mrs. Xu's face, Madam Su just continued, "Mrs. Tai is always concerned about the girl. This time, she ordered the servants to bring a lot of servants. Serving the girl along the way, she must not be punished." Wronged."

Mrs. Xu sneered, "Mrs. Tai misses her granddaughter. This is Yingyu's blessing. We are in the imperial capital, and we don't have time to go back to pay our respects to Mrs. Tai. If Mrs. Tai wants to come to the imperial capital, it's just time for us to do my filial piety. Nanny can just go back, when Mrs. Tai is here, send a letter, and the master and I will take their sisters and brothers to the suburbs to meet Mrs. Tai." If you have the guts, you can try it in the imperial capital, Mrs. Xu is not a vegetarian!

Madam Su's face froze, she glanced at Mrs. Xu, her face was rigid, and anyone with ears could hear the displeasure in her voice, "Third Madam, forgive me for talking too much. Tai Madam is the third lord's aunt, and she is dignified and dignified. As long as the mother misses her son, the third master has a high position and authority, so there is no mention of his character. The imperial court governs the country with filial piety, and I think His Majesty will be willing for the third master to return to his hometown to serve his mother."

Xu Yingyu was only listening on the sidelines, but as soon as Madam Su said this, Xu Yingyu immediately asked with a smile, "Did grandma say what Madam said?"

Madam Su refused to speak.

"Mammy is old, so it's not surprising that she knows some ancient things. The court is indeed governing the country with filial piety." Xu Yingyu narrowed her eyes and said lightly, "Mammy doesn't know it yet. There is an old saying that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. At the beginning, Yongding Hou's own father is dead, and the imperial court wants to employ someone, so it is still tempting! Now no one dares to say that Yongding Hou is not filial!"

"The eldest grandmother has two uncles who are direct relatives, and the son born to the concubine is not only the father." Xu Yingyu said, "The mother is a family, and she may not know the affairs of the court outside. According to what the mother said, the men of the Xu family don't have to If you are an official and have a mother, just resign from the official position and go home to serve your mother, otherwise it will be unfilial?"

Grandma Su's face was blue and white, and Xu Yingyu sneered, "Grandma doesn't have to threaten anyone with such words. Father is not afraid of trouble if he can achieve this position!"

"Young lady said so, the old slave will just go back." Su Momo got up and was about to leave.

Xu Yingyu raised her chin slightly, and the little girls guarding the door surrounded her. Madam Su's complexion changed drastically, and she said loudly, "This old slave belongs to Mrs. Tai, even the old slave's body deed is also in Mrs. Tai's hands , the girl still wants to take me!"

"Even Mrs. Tai is also from the Xu family, not to mention you are a slave!" Xu Yingyu sneered, "Why can't I get you! Tie it up and send it to the imperial capital! Lotus, go and tell Master Tian that you are a bully! Lord, you are full of nonsense, and came to our house to threaten my mother and me, saying that Mrs. Tai was dismissed from office because she was dissatisfied with my uncle, and wanted to call all the sons of the Xu family back to their hometown to serve my parents."

"Fourth Miss, how did this old slave say such things!" Su Momo shouted anxiously.

Xu Yingyu smiled, "Everyone in the room is listening, you didn't say anything, there is an interrogation by the governor of the imperial capital. Shut up and drag it on!"

Mrs. Xu was a little undecided, "Take it to the firewood room." After the people left, she asked her daughter, "Don't make too much trouble, your father is still an official. It's not good for us to break up with the family. .”

Xu Yingyu said firmly, "Mother, this is a great opportunity. You see, my family has come out, and I definitely don't want my father to be happy. Why don't you take this opportunity to kill this old slave and give my family a warning! Otherwise, there will be a aunt's righteousness and Bingsheng's affairs on the other side, and I'm afraid there will be endless right and wrong."

"What the old slave said is also reasonable. The head is the grandmother, who is ordered by the first rank. If there is a trouble, the father's official position is afraid that he will not be able to sit firmly." Xu Yingyu said, "Now we have the upper hand and break the matter, at least our family will not I will use my brains on filial piety again, and it will also relieve my father."

"Should we wait until your father comes back?"

"When my father comes home from the Yamen, anyone who is interested will know as soon as he inquires that the matter was planned by my father and he missed the opportunity." Xu Yingyu looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "Could it be that my mother still can't trust me?"

Mrs. Xu held her daughter's arm, "What is this called? It's a family scandal."

"The relationship between our family and our family is known to everyone who cares. Since others know it well, don't be afraid to publicize it." Xu Yingyu persuaded, "This kind of thing, if other people say it or it is false, what happened in our family is somewhat true. Mother , the opportunity must not be missed, and there will never be another chance.”

What Mrs. Xu said to her daughter was a little emotional, and she sighed, "The emperor said that you are useful. This time, I will listen to you." At the critical moment, Ming Xiaopang's charm played a decisive role invisibly.If Ming Xiaopang knew about this, his self-confidence would definitely explode again.

Xu Yingyu nodded slightly.

Xu San heard about this after returning home. After thinking about it, he said, "Let's file a lawsuit, I'm an old slave, and I still think it was 30 years ago."

Xu Bingzhong just got off work, didn't even take a sip of tea, he said angrily, "Would you like me to go to the Imperial Capital Mansion to do some work, so that the old slave will suffer a bit too."

"Stupid, don't add to the snake." Xu San reprimanded, pointing to his daughter, "You talk to him."

Xu Yingyu smiled, and said softly, "Actually, it's nothing. Second brother, my father was not the Minister of the Household Department the first day. Think about it, why didn't the family show anything before? Now they are giving away things and people Do you want me to go to Huaiyang again?"

Xu Bingzhong is not too stupid, after thinking about it, "I want to win over my father?"

"We don't dare to believe this solicitation? Don't forget what happened to Bingsheng. Although he did it himself, you are safe. If Bingsheng loses his head, the family will definitely hate his father." Xu Yingyu looked at her father, Slowly said, "I think, I'm afraid that my family is not doing well now, so I want to get my father. Our relationship with my family is too close, if we get into a pirate ship..."

Xu San coughed, what is a thief ship?

Xu Bingzhong already understood, and said, "It's fine to go to court. At first, I thought that Labingsheng would make a fortune together, but who knew that he... would plot against me secretly. Now he's plotting against my sister again, and there is no end to it."

Xu Bingzhong suddenly said, "Sister, Mrs. Wu is going to handle the affairs of Tianjin Port now, and the Shanrentang is too busy, so I want to find someone to help. Sister, I don't think you are worse than Miss Wu, do you want to try it? "

Xu Yingyu hesitated, she really didn't think about going out to do something.

Xu Sanli's daughter agreed, and asked his son, "Is there such a thing?"

"Well, I mentioned something to Mr. Wu. My sister is idle at home anyway. Mr. Wu is a female official under the Queen Mother. If my sister goes, she will be considered as a name in front of the Queen Mother. In the future, it will be hard to talk about kissing the backstage." Xu Bingzhong said a lot of useful and useless things, and Xu Yingyu hit him on the head in anger.

Xu Bingzhong's words touched Xu San's heart, and what Xu San took a fancy to was nothing more than the matter of female officials.There is no need to go to the palace to serve in the name of a female official. This is to add capital to the daughter's remarriage. How can I not?

Xu San immediately said, "Yingyu, what your brother said is right. If you are idle at home like this, you might as well learn to do something. Shanrentang is a place to do things for the people. We don't need salary, we just do more things for the people. "

"I haven't done this yet." Xu Yingyu was a little uncertain.

Xu San smiled, "What's not to learn? Just try it, if you don't think it works, go home, it doesn't hurt to let them find someone else."

In this way, her father and brother encouraged her bravely again and again, and Xu Yingyu agreed.
