When Xu Ping remembered the situation just now, he wanted to laugh. Chen Yaozuo's expression obviously knew that he was going to be the prime minister. He looked confident and could tell anyone. However, he didn't expect that Yan Shu was the first to enter the Political Affairs Hall. Lan Yuanzhen said that the expression on Chen Yaozuo's face was extremely wonderful. Of course, Yan Shu entered the Political Affairs Hall just to be a political affairs officer. He had done it once during the Tiansheng period, because when he was attending Yuqing Palace, he was late and he used the court tablet to discount the teeth of the followers.

When Zhao Zhen was the crown prince, Yan Shu was a Hanlin scholar and a left-leaning son, and was considered an old minister of the Eastern Palace. When the government was slightly turbulent, the old team of the Eastern Palace was entrusted with important tasks. At this time, Yan Shu entered the Political Affairs Hall naturally. Moreover, Yan Shu was careful and meticulous, and he could not deceive or hide the emperor. Both Zhenzong and Zhao Zhen trusted him very much.

The old prime minister has passed away and the new prime minister has not arrived. It is amazing that Zhang is left with a great deal of being able to maintain daily affairs. He quickly brought Yan Shu up to help Zhang De Xiang. He entered the Political Affairs Hall for the second time and was familiar with Yan Shu related matters. However, after Xu Ping thought about it, Zhao Zhen was afraid that he had other purposes for doing this, which could be seen from the rush to appoint Wang Yaochen.

Taking advantage of the lack of prime minister in the court, Zhao Zhen is likely to appoint and remove a large number of middle and lower-level officials. This is his opportunity, and there is no reason not to use it. Zhao Zhen may do anything, but he is able to be an emperor. Once the two prime ministers are in place, a large number of positions will be taken into their hands, and it will be inconvenient for Zhao Zhen to arrange people. Now, even if Zhang Dexiang adds a Yan Shu, he has no confidence to say no to the emperor. How could Zhao Zhen let go of the opportunity?

Li Di and Chen Yaozuo were probably thinking of this, so they immediately decided to set off the next day, saving them back to Mengzhou and Zhengzhou to arrange government affairs, and handing them over to their respective magistrates. Yan Shu was light and simple, and had already set off today. Before leaving, he borrowed all the money on Xu Ping. Being the priest was a great joy, and the reward he gave along the way was not a small amount.

After leaving the left-behind yamen, Xu Ping arrived at Xiuxiu. She and Lin Suniang were inconvenient and could not return to Beijing with Xu Ping. They could only part ways for a while and send someone to pick her up in a few days.

Xiuxiu's residence was full of flowers and green bamboos, like a paradise in Luoyang City. When she stepped into the door, Xu Ping looked at the surrounding scenery and was reluctant to leave.

Xiuxiu had a big belly, sat in the sun in front of the room and made needles and threads, preparing clothes for the unborn child. Now her life is simple, and everything is focused on the children in her belly. This is her spiritual sustenance.

Xu Ping came over and the maid went to prepare tea, while Xu Ping sat next to Xiuxiu.

Seeing Xiuxiu's face in the sunshine more vivid than before, Xu Ping whispered: "Are you doing well recently? If you want to eat something, just tell Xu Chang and let him go and buy it. I am busy with official business and don't have much time to accompany you."

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "How much can I eat by myself? My family is guarding such a big garden and I can't finish the vegetables planted in it. If I weren't afraid of ruining your reputation as a dog, I would have sold it!"

Sister Tang originally had a vegetable garden. If you plant a little, it would be enough for a few people at home to eat. The transportation route of the road made it difficult for the family to go out to sell vegetables. Xiuxiu was born in a farmhouse and did not want to waste it. She sent it to relatives and friends every day. People familiar with Xu Ping, including Wang Yaochen and Yang Zhao, often eat the vegetables here. The family is low and the salary is low, and the family has a large population, so she eats the most. Because of this, Xiuxiu has a good reputation among Xu Ping and his colleagues.

After sitting for a while, Xu Ping said to Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, we are going back to the capital."

Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, stopped the needle and thread in her hand, looked at Xu Ping, and asked, "Why did you go back? When will you leave?"

"The envoy from the capital, Emperor Xuan, told me to return to Beijing immediately, but I haven't said anything yet." Seeing Xiuxiu being a little confused, Xu Ping held her hand. "I'm walking in a hurry this time, and time is tight on the road. You are inconvenient. You will live in Luoyang for a few more days. When I arrive in the capital, settle down and let Huzi pick you up, okay?"

Xiuxiu smiled reluctantly and whispered: "Okay, I miss Huzi, I miss my parents too."

Hu Zi has grown up now and can support his family business. His studies in the Imperial College are OK, but his hope of becoming a Jinshi is very slim. There is no way, but he started to read and write when he was so old, and it was difficult to calm down. He could only study and recognize words in the Imperial College to make connections. In the future, whether he is an official or a businessman, he will always have a reliable social circle.

With Xu Ping's relationship, Hu Zi has no problem as an official, but he will not have much prospects. He can only be a small military officer in his life. It is better to be a rich businessman in the capital. Xu Ping's meaning depends on himself.

Since they were pregnant, Xu Zheng and Zhang Sanniang and his wife came to Xiuxiu every now and then. The old couple's current thoughts are all about their grandson. Whether it is Lin Suniang or Xiuxiu, the more they give birth, the better. When they chat, they envy Chen Yaozuo, who has four generations together, and spend a great fortune, and have nearly a hundred great-grandchildren. How lively it is!

Lin Su Niang was a person who was very good at talking about it. At that time, she said that Xiuxiu had been in the outdoor room and she would never have any contact. Xiuxiu had never lacked anything, but she was not allowed to go to the Xu family's house. Generally speaking, Lin Su Niang was still able to do this, and outsiders could not tell anything wrong.

In this era, there was not much difference in the status of the legitimate son and illegitimate son. Take Wang Dan as an example. Wang Yong was a concubine son and the eldest son, and he did not get less resources than Wang Su. Wang Su lived better, because he was a Jinshi. The practice of the big family at this time was that whoever had a higher official position and whoever had a higher political status and had a more political future would have more say. Another reason was that Wang Su was the youngest son. When he was with him, Wang Dan was already old and brought Wang Su with him every day. Only Wang Su had acted foolishly and acted like a spoiled person in front of his father. Wang Yong, Wang Zhi and others were all well-political and had beenhaved since childhood in front of Wang Dan.

Xiuxiu was not worried that the child in her belly would be looked at by Lin Suniang, and Lin Suniang was not such a petty person. But she had high hopes for her children. Her mother was noble for her son, and Lin Suniang could still be honored by her husband, but Xiuxiu could only rely on her children to earn glory for her. Xiuxiu's desire for her son was much stronger than Lin Suniang.

Calm down, Xiuxiu asked Xu Ping: "Since I arrived in Xijing City, although I don't know what you are busy with, I have not had much time in the past two years, so I must have done a lot of things. Is this time I'm going to be promoted?"

Xu Ping thought about it and said, "The order has not been sent down, and in fact no one dares to say things to death. However, when we are speaking, we don't have to worry about being laughed at by you when we are wrong. I said it straight away. This time I returned to Beijing, I guess the official can be promoted. If it goes well, it may be the Sansi Envoy. If it goes well, it may be possible for other missions. You have been by my side for many years. You should know what official position the Sansi Envoy is. The power of the three officials is, and it is unparalleled. It is very different from the previous days!"

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "I don't know what the weight is. But if you want to be a Sansi envoy, your house will be broken. You are always people who come to ask for things every day. At that time, I wonder how annoying it was!"
