Chapter five hundred and thirtieth as if it were out, borrow a knife to sharpen
With the ten-day wedding leave, the only time Du Shiyi and Wang Rong could really live together after marriage was the short three or four days. It was impossible to raft the Qujiang River in the twelfth lunar month, and Yu Nu was by his side all day long, so they even had to be extra careful when they got closer. Fortunately, just the day before he planned to return to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, Yu Nu's second uncle Yang Xuanqi finally came to the door.
Unlike Yang Xuanyan, Yang Xuanqi looked more bookish and had a calm and elegant manner. He was in his early forties and looked very fond of a good-looking temperament. Although he was nearly twice as old as Du Shiyi, because Yu Nu called Du Shiyi and Du Shiyi's official position was above him, he was a peer-to-people discussion. After sitting down and greeting, he heard footsteps and saw the curtains on the back. When he looked again, a young woman in costume came out holding Yu Nu's hand. After just a glance, he knew that it must be Du Shiyi's newly married wife, the Wang family girl.
The people talked about the emperor's marriage, and the same was true in the officialdom. Among them, the one who criticized the most was family. However, at this moment, his first impression of Wang Rong was that he was generous, not at all like he came from a humble merchant family. When the Yu Nu came to him, he did not react. It was when his niece pulled the corner of his clothes and asked for pleading that he came back to his senses.
"Uncle Second, would you please let me stay with my master's wife for two more days? I finally came out once and went back to Shuzhong like this. I don't know when I will see them again in the future."
The reason why Yang Xuanqi dared to leave Yu Nu was that he was sure that Du Shiyi had just been given a marriage. In addition, Suri had never heard of any unclearity with other girls. Yu Nu was less than ten years old. But the most important thing was that he knew that Du Shiyi had a wide range of friendship and had many high-ranking officials and nobles. If he was willing to come forward in the future, he might be able to find a good marriage for his niece. But now the marriage has been completed, and Yu Nu didn't want to leave. He couldn't help but have a headache. He hesitated for a moment and said sternly: "You were not the one who thought about your grandfather the most before. Did you forget the filial piety after this come out?"
"No, I don't want to let go of Grandpa, but I... don't want to let go of Master..."
Yu Nu was so excited that he was about to burst into tears. When Du Shiyi saw Yang Xuanqi being in a hurry, he obviously didn't know how to deal with the little girl's tears, so he instructed Wang Rong to go forward. Seeing that she pulled the little guy to the side to comfort her, she took a handkerchief from her arms and wiped her slowly, he smiled and said, "Yu Nu is true to you, please don't blame her. However, the weather is cold and cold now, and it is not suitable to set off for Sichuan. It's better to wait until March is spring before sending her away. Yu Nu, stop crying, you are a member of the Yang family, so you should naturally live in your second uncle's house. If your master's wife and I miss you, they will naturally ask Baoer to pick you up."
"I really want Senior Brother Baoer to pick me up?" Yu Nu was still sobbing, but when she heard this, she immediately stuttered and asked. After receiving Du Shiyi's affirmative answer, she immediately burst into tears and laughed. Then she retreated behind Yang Xuanqi in a regular manner and stopped making a sound.
Seeing that the most troublesome niece was finally at peace, Yang Xuanqi felt relieved. When Du Shiyi asked the maid to hold another box and said that it was a New Year gift to Yu Nu in advance, he refused to accept it, and then lingered for a while before saying goodbye to leave. But when he returned home, he opened the box and saw that there was a complete set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone inside. Even if the Duan inkstone was placed in Qianbao Pavilion, it was a treasure worth more than a thousand guan. He couldn't help but take a breath.
Seeing that Yu Nu cheered and hugged her in her arms and went back to the room, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then ordered someone to summon his son Yang Shu, who had returned from Shuzhong this time.
"Qilang, you have had so many dealings with Du Shijiulang in Chengdu. Do you think he really treats Yu Nu just like a disciple?"
After returning along the way, Yang Shu didn't know how many times his father asked about Du Shiyi. At this moment, he couldn't help but be surprised at first, and then thought for a while, and finally whispered: "Speaking of whether my grandfather might not believe it, I think it's not just a disciple, but a daughter... Anyway, he was decisive and cruel when he was in Chengdu, but he tolerated Yu Nu, and even obedient. Yu Nu went to his disciples to learn the pipa, which is also famous in the Chengdu officialdom. I heard that my uncle was able to get the position of Sima in Yazhou because Du Shijiulang recommended it?"
"That's right, but he is so nice to Yu Nu... Forget it, I don't want so much. Look at Yu Yao, she is too restless, don't let her take Yu Nu to do anything strange."
In this winter selection of the Ministry of Personnel at the end of the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, Song Jing, who was just appointed as the Minister of Personnel at the beginning of the year, did not really take charge of the matters of selection. In fact, since the beginning of Kaiyuan, the Minister of Personnel has only represented the ranks, and the specific selection matters were all controlled by the Minister of Personnel. This year, Qi Chao, the Minister of Personnel, who was in charge of the selection, went from the Minister of the Secretariat who was a master of edicts to enter the key step by step, and was deeply trusted by the emperor. He was also very good at asking others for advice based on the difficulty of asking for help. Whether the person who asked for advice was purely selfish or out of love for talent, he made choices and made general fairness.
Therefore, Wang Changling was appointed as the proofreader of the Secretariat less than a year after the Jinshi and the Ministry of Personnel Examination. Wang Jin was appointed as the proofreader of Jixiandian Zheng because of the order and the first time. Du Anzhi was appointed as the Wuchengwei of Huzhou, and Lu Cong was appointed as the Wuxianwei for the recommendation of Yuan Sheng, the governor of Suzhou. These personnel changes were not very eye-catching in the vast selection.
But in the eyes of those who are interested, such as Wang Maozhong, this is simply a typical example of forming cliques and private interests. Jiang Jiao is dead. Although there are civil and military officials like Song Jing who live in Kaifu Yi and Sansi, the emperor only respects and does not get close to him. He must attend any banquet. If he does not attend, the emperor will not be happy. This kind of glory has been maintained for many years, which is enough for him to feel that he can go further.
Therefore, on the same day, he returned to his home from the Northern Yai Office. When he saw his eldest son Wang Shouzhen coming to him to salute and greet him, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Are you, the young minister of the Honglu Temple, happy?"
Nearly eight years have passed since what happened back then. Although Wang Shouzhen hated Du Shiyi, he was not exiled to a place like Liu Ximing, like Liu Ximing. His official position has risen step by step with his father's momentum, so he naturally would not be as anxious as Liu Ximing. Although he, the young minister of Honglu Temple who was from the fourth rank, just acted as an official and did not take responsibility, as Wang Maozhong's eldest son, and all kinds of honors and ranks, he was only one step away from the third rank. In addition, the whip he was beaten back then was really unforgettable, and he almost deliberately left the name Du Shiyi behind.
At this moment, facing his father's questioning, he couldn't help but answer carefully: "Report to Grandpa, I have been diligent in my work recently..."
"I'll go and order Mao every day, and then hang out with your friends. Is this also called diligence?" Wang Maozhong asked back angrily. Seeing Wang Shouzhen lowered his head and dared not say anything, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his iron. In anger, he threw the glass cup in his hand, "If you have a little bit of a chance, you don't have to worry like me, a father."
Wang Shouzhen was timid in his mouth, but he felt very disapproving. At this moment, a soft voice from a woman came from outside: "Why did Wang Lang get such a big temper?"
Seeing a woman in high dress and surrounded by maids like stars arched in the moon, Wang Shouzhen quickly retreated and bowed her head and called Er Niang. The person came was Mrs. Li, the wife of Wang Maozhong who was later married, whom Wang Maozhong was married. She smiled and nodded slightly at Wang Shouzhen. Then she came to Wang Maozhong and said with a smile: "Dalang is now in his thirties. Wang Lang should also regard him as an adult. Why do you have to get so angry? Isn't it sad to let my sister see him?"
Although Li is no longer the youthful and beautiful age when he just married him, and is not as good as those maids and concubines, he has a noble status as a royal family and is more than the background and upbringing of Yuanmai. Wang Maozhong is most of the time happy to treat him, not to mention that Li is pregnant again and is about to give birth to a newborn. But this time, he did not give his wife a little face for the first time and scolded coldly: "I'm a father's teaching to scold my son, don't interrupt you. Since you are heavy, you should take good care of yourself, come and help the second wife to rest."
Although he was treated so coldly, Li just turned a little bit like nothing, and he went away with a guilty confession. When she left, Wang Maozhong looked at Wang Shouzhen and said, "I was angry and beat you up because you didn't know the world. In the most sensitive place like Jingji, you are dealing with a family like Du Shiyi, not ordinary cold. You should know that this kind of life and death revenge cannot be easily settled. You know how the Liu son died. "
When Wang Shouzhen heard the news that Liu Ximing was sentenced to death, it was shocked. However, Liu Jieyu was unable to match the concubine Wu Hui in the harem. Liu Qiwu had already suffered a setback in his career and could not meet his father Wang Maozhong's holy family. He gradually forgot about it. Even when Du Shiyi was given the marriage to Wang Yuanbao's daughter, he secretly gloated and mocked him. Now that his father mentioned the old story, his face suddenly turned pale, and he was stammering and didn't know what to say.
"You caused this enemy Du Shiyi, so think about it yourself."
“Grandma means…”
"Anyway, don't think of such stupid means, just tell me if you think about it, don't act rashly. There is room for action before you take action, but after you take action, it will be a death-death."
