In fact, it shouldn't be considered a promotion.

But a part-time job.

Part-time Minister of the household department, mainly responsible for the promotion of sweet potatoes and other things, after all, the household department is in charge of the world's land, household registration, taxation, and overall planning of national funds.

He didn't lose his position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he just served in two departments together. It is not uncommon for such a person to have several positions in the court.But the problem is that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting are two positions of real power, especially the Ministry of Accounting.

It was enough to show how satisfied the emperor was with Xu Qiu.

Xu Qiu didn't want to leave the Ministry of Industry, and the rice and cement business hadn't been done yet. He was relieved to hear that it meant a part-time job.

They are all positions of the same level, even though the Ministry of Households itself has a higher status than the Ministry of Industry, but Xu Qiu has no position, so he has been touched a lot. After all, at the beginning, if he hadn't taken the initiative to go to the Ministry of Industry, the emperor would have In [-], he was asked to go to a real power department such as the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of Officials.Of course, he does not exclude himself from wearing several hats.

The current Xu Qiu has temporarily let go of his original idea of ​​being a small county magistrate.

Now that we have reached this level, we might as well do better.

But different from Xu Qiu's indifference and Gu Chengyi's joy, in the court hall, when they heard that Xu Qiu had become the servant of the household department, several people quietly darkened.

Especially the eleventh prince, Gu Chengyun, has never covered up his black face.

After waiting for the morning court, he even snorted coldly at Xu Qiu, and said to Gu Chengyi in a strange way: "Second brother is really a good subordinate, and he is from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, so be careful." It stretched too long and was chopped off."

The several adult princes have been trained separately in various departments, and Gu Chengyun is in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

He was the son of a favorite concubine, and he was relatively young among the several adult princes. He was spoiled since he was a child, and his character was a little uncontrollable. When he was unhappy, it all showed on his face.

But Gu Chengyi is not soft-tempered either, his natal family is very powerful, and among the few princes, he has the worst temper, upon hearing this, his deep eyes glanced at Gu Chengyun with disdain: "It depends on you. "

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Gu Chengyun, and walked directly towards Xu Qiu: "Congratulations."

Having said that, his attitude did not show much prudence, because Gu Chengyi also knew that his father wanted to arrange Xu Qiu in such a good department before.

Xu Qiu nodded and said, "Thank you."

The two of them walked out together, and they didn't look at Gu Chengyun much. Such an indifferent attitude completely made Gu Chengyun anxious.

After returning to the residence of his mother and concubine, he couldn't help but threw the things on the table to the ground. His mother Li Guifei asked, "My son, what's wrong?"

Gu Chengyun said angrily: "It's not that Gu Chengyi, the barbarian from the small place next to him, was lucky enough to be loved by his father because he cured his body before, and now, his father let him concurrently serve as The servant of the household department. Even Gu Chengyi came during this period, and the emperor also liked him a lot, so he didn't scold him too much."

"Hubu is my place. If this continues, what place will I have?"

Concubine Li Gui frowned upon hearing this, "That's true."

Even in the harem, Concubine Li Gui knew about Xu Qiu's name. The emperor highly respected his medical skills. As long as the concubines in the harem had some connections and money, they would basically buy Xu Qiu's medicine. Shop for skin care products.

Due to the antagonistic relationship between her son and Gu Chengyi, she didn't buy it.

The main reason is that she is naturally beautiful and well maintained, otherwise, she would not have become a favorite concubine and sat all the way to the position of noble concubine.

"Xu Qiu's medical skills..." Concubine Li Gui pondered, "Your father will not let him have any real problems."

Concubine Li's acting like a coquettish fool, pretending to be weak and engaging in harem battles is okay, but if she is really going to deal with courtiers, it's not enough.

"How about... let your sixth sister marry him?"

This sixth younger sister is of course not a princess born to Concubine Li Gui, but a nobleman who lived in her side hall. She didn't have a daughter herself, only Gu Chengyun had a child.

That nobleman had surrendered his sincerity to her early on, got her protection, and listened to her words.

The sixth princess is also not favored, if they do some calculations on this matter, maybe they can really succeed.

As long as Xu Qiu and the Sixth Princess get married, they will naturally become theirs. It is impossible for Gu Chengyi not to have a estrangement with Xu Qiu.

Gu Chengyun's complexion also became better, "I just heard that my father also said that he wanted to get married before, but was rejected by Xu Qiu, and he has already married his wife."

"What's the point?" Concubine Li Gui said: "It's fine for a dignified princess to get married, let that person give up her position, or become an equal wife."

Although few people actually marry equal wives, there is indeed such a saying.

"As for whether he marries or not, just let him marry. Don't worry about it. The concubine will take care of it."

Gu Chengyun was well aware of his concubine's methods, and seeing that she had a plan in mind, he was determined, and no longer angry, he sat down and had dinner with Concubine Li before leaving.

At night, Concubine Li Gui led her servants and carried the food box, thinking about going to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xu Qiu didn't know about the calculations in the palace, but he usually paid attention to it, and nothing went wrong.After the sweet potato incident, he was mainly familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Households, and then proposed the matter of hybrid rice to the Ministry of Industry.

The wording used is that a farmer accidentally mentioned that he found a special kind of rice that was different from others. He had seen it at the time, and it was true.This refers to the male sterile line.

This type of rice is hard to find.

But he directly put forward a specific conjecture, and asked the people below to follow this idea, and no one objected, and everyone was busy looking for it.

At the same time, Lin Qu's glass factory was still in the experiment, so Xu Qiu directly asked people to use gemstones, crystal stones, etc., using the materials available at the moment, first asked people to grind out the magnifying glass, and gave it to the Ministry of Industry for temporary use.

Shuttle between the two departments every day, although he is busy, he can do it with ease.

I had a very fulfilling life.

Until one day, the emperor called him into the palace to see a doctor.

Xu Qiu followed the eunuch who delivered the decree into the palace and asked, "Do you know who is in a hurry in the palace?"

The little eunuch hesitated for a moment, thinking that this was nothing to hide, and Xu Qiu was a senior official, so he said directly: "It's Concubine Li. The concubine has been feeling unwell for the past few days and has not improved. The emperor had no choice but to pass on the news to Xu Qiu." grown ups."

Xu Qiu thanked the little eunuch, but he didn't believe that there was nothing he could do.

He knew that because the emperor had taken good care of his body, the emperor must have a good impression of him, but judging from the emperor's character, at most he would not treat himself like an imperial doctor and order him around at will.

But if a concubine with a higher status in the harem, or a favored concubine, wanted him to treat a disease, the emperor would probably not refuse.

But Concubine Li...

Having been in the capital for so long, Xu Qiu knew all kinds of relationships in the court. Concubine Li Gui was the mother and concubine of the eleventh prince.

This identity alone is enough to make him vigilant.

Xu Qiu cheered up and decided to pay attention to this trip into the palace, and was led all the way to a palace by the little eunuch: "Master Xu, Zhaoren Palace is ahead."

After entering the inside, all kinds of scenery are pleasant, but Xu Qiu didn't care to look carefully, he is a foreigner, he shouldn't have entered here, he had to avoid suspicion.

When he got outside the door, a servant girl saluted him a little further away, and then went in to report.

A mellow voice came from inside: "Let him in."

Xu Qiu walked in, and saw a vague figure behind the gauze curtain, and a little girl sitting on a chair beside the bed. Seeing her coming in, the little girl stood up, lowered her head shyly, and called out, "Xu Qiu grown ups."

Xu Qiu had never seen these princesses and concubines in the harem.

Just based on the clothes that the little girl is wearing, I can roughly guess that the other party should be a princess or something.

"Princess." He was right, and after saluting the princess he saw first, he saluted the imperial concubine lying behind the gauze curtain: "Join the imperial concubine empress."

"Get up." Concubine Li Gui lay on the bed: "Ben Gong has been exhausted recently, please trouble Master Xu to help me take a look."

"I obey." Xu Qiu stepped forward, the sixth princess moved aside for him, raised her head and looked at him quietly, holding the handkerchief, looking shy and nervous.

The other party's gaze was too obvious, so Xu Qiu naturally couldn't detect it.

He felt the pulse of the noble concubine calmly, thinking in his heart, the noble concubine called him, could it be because she wanted to give him a favor?

He knew that Concubine Li Gui didn't have a daughter herself, and now the princess was guarding here, and she behaved like that, the purpose can be imagined.

After the consultation, Xu Qiu prescribed medicine: "Your Majesty just feels a little cold, please close the windows on weekdays, don't catch cold, you should get better soon."

"Master Xu more."

Xu Qiudao: "Since the empress is fine, I will take my leave first."

Concubine Li Gui said: "Xi'er, send Master Xu off."

The eyes of the maidservants standing in this room also moved slightly.

Xu Qiu held his breath in his chest, his expression changed a little, and he was about to go out, the sixth princess hurriedly followed: "Master Xu, wait a minute."

Xu Qiu walked into the courtyard, glanced outside, but didn't see the little eunuch who sent him here before, he said coldly: "Princess, stay here, just let a maid eunuch take me out."

In the harem, it is not easy for him to run around alone.

The only thing that annoys him now is that these people will not forcibly yell at him for being indecent or something, and insist on getting the emperor here. No matter what the truth is, the emperor's daughter's reputation will be damaged, and he may be cannon fodder.

No matter what the reason was, Xu Qiu didn't want to marry another person back.
