Chapter 198 You are such a fool
Chapter 198: You are such a fool
Qiori is very good at making trouble!
Since she came, she was driven by high enthusiasm and kept spinning like a top. Although she made some jokes about doing housework, she and her servants were still doing things that must be done in the household, such as hanging red lights, pasting paper cutting, sweeping dust, and sending the kitchen god. She took the servants to do one by one, and the tasks were very beautiful.
In just one or two days, the originally deserted yard became fancy and lively. Although the layout was short, due to Qizhi's intention, the New Year atmosphere in the yard was even better than many neighbors who had already started preparing.
Tang Cheng didn't mention this a few days ago, and the girls and servants who were not familiar with the new master did not dare to talk too much, but who doesn't want to celebrate the New Year? Now Qizhi's tossing is really right. He listened to Qizhi's arrangements and arrangements happily and willingly. In this way, it will naturally be easy to get together. In addition, Qizhi's hand is generous and rewards him when he is happy. He is very beautiful, so after just a few days, he is so damn good. No one in the yard doesn't call her good.
"It is easy to live in the Sihe House, and you are attentive to the wife in the hall. If you want an old woman, you must be in charge of the hostess. The high-ranking official can't finish the major matters outside every day. Can you still handle this? Even if he is intent, he doesn't know what things should be in the mansion. How should these things be arranged?" Du, the stovetop lady, was tidying up the mutton and fish prepared for the New Year, and said to Qizhi with a smile: "Seventh girl, see what the old woman said right? Qian man and Kun woman, the male lead is the outside and the female lead is the inside. This is the rule set by God. Think about it a few days ago, now, if there is no mistress in a mansion, can it be done?"
Du Ma Zi from the stove said with a smile, and Qizhi also listened with a smile. He was so happy that he even ran over to help Du Ma Zi, but he didn't say a word about the things that the servants were most concerned about these days.
There is only one thing that people care about - when will Qizhi marry a high-ranking official? He is beautiful, has a generous and kind face. For the servants, there is a better mistress than this? If you miss her, you may not be able to deal with this mansion in the future.
As for the high-ranking officials who have already got married in their hometown, tsk, this is still a problem? The high-ranking officials are valued by General Wei at a young age. It is normal for several concubines to have a bright future. Even if the seventh girl is unwilling to be a concubine, it is easy to deal with. There are too many other housewives in Chang'an City and have a house to settle down. Although there is a man in total, the other housewives will not meet the wife of the main house and will not be polite. Wouldn't it be good that both ends are big?
The servants were anxious to inquire. They even thought about the method, but the two people in the area didn't say anything. How could they speak more and more with a low status? But the more they were like this, the more curious they were. While they were busy these days, they always tried to inquire and test.
When Tang Cheng, who was returning home from outside, passed by and entered the yard, he was talking to Guan Qianyu and turned his head and saw Qizhi helping the kitchen in the kitchen. The words he was talking in his mouth suddenly stuck.
It's scary, so scary, what exactly is this Qizhi doing?
"Young Master...".
"Well, you continue" turned around and looked at Qiori who was busy. After being laughed by her busy manner, Tang Cheng shook his head and continued to walk towards the second yard.
"Miss Seven, the Grand Official is back." The Du Ma, who came from the stove, with a smile on his face, with a look back from outside the door, "The Grand Official is just passing by our door, but he stopped and laughed. The man is thinking, don't you understand."
"What do you understand? He's just a fool." Qiori held back and didn't turn his head, but the smile in his voice could not be concealed.
Tang Cheng didn't know that there was such a small discussion in the kitchen. After retracting his thoughts, he was listening carefully to Guan Qianyu's return to Su Can.
"That day, when the young master ordered, my subordinates began to find the details of Su Can's family, and he really found a difficult task that his son could not do." Guan Qianyu was very excited. "Su Can's only son was Su He, who was a Jinshi of the previous dynasty. After the Ministry of Personnel's selection, his son inherited his father's business and entered the Bishi Department of the Ministry of Justice. After Su He arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he could no longer move. After more than nine years and nearly ten years, he had been away for several officers and waited for him but he could not be promoted. For this reason, Su He was very frustrated. When his subordinates found out that Su Can had visited the former Minister of Justice Li's mansion several times for this matter, but in the end, there was no result. Now, the official of the Bishi Department happened to be vacant last month. It is said that Su He has been running to the doctor's mansion of our department these days."
"Bi Department! If I remember correctly, this is the Four Departments of the Ministry of Justice who are specifically responsible for reviewing the money, grain and income of the Tang Dynasty's yamen." Seeing Guan Qianyu nodding, Tang Cheng smiled and said, "This is a good place with fat and oily oil. There are no assistants in such a place, so people are definitely not missing. Lao Yi, can the general speak in the Ministry of Justice?"
Guan Qianyu naturally understood what Tang Cheng meant and replied in contemplation: "The current Minister of Justice and Minister of Justice were all ordered by the Empress in person. If the general came forward, this matter should be handled."
"That's good." Tang Cheng nodded and did not sit down. He lay down on the desk and wrote a note and asked the servant to send it to General Fuyuan's mansion immediately.
After finishing this, Tang Cheng rubbed his hands and smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go for a walk at Mr. Su's mansion."
"Are you going out to pay a visit?" When Shizhi walked in with a cup of original chicken soup, he heard this and said, "Drink this soup first and then go."
This was the first time Guan Qianyu saw Qiori and was taken by her Rongguang. After only one look, he turned his head slightly.
Tang Cheng looked at the chicken soup sent in by Qizhi, and suddenly thought that when he was at home in Jinzhou, Li Yingwan and Lancao were always the same. After a warm heart, he took the soup cup and drank it all.
"Remember to bring a buckle when you go out." Qizhi gave another advice and said sideways: "Laifu, go to the west wing of the front yard to get a gift box and bring it with you."
"Bring a gift box?".
"It's the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month now. I'm so embarrassed to go to the mansion to go empty-handed? Not to mention that the person who wants to visit is still an old man, a fool!"
Looking at Qizhi, who was Yichen and Yixi, Tang Cheng was completely speechless. "Run quickly", after waved his hand to Lai Fu, he took Guan Qianyu out.
When passing by Qiori, Guan Qianyu, who had been slightly tilting his head just now, couldn't help but take the opportunity to look at Qiori again. When Qiori smiled at him, Guan Qianyu then lowered his head again.
This woman is so beautiful, she is simply a living fairy!
"The person brought out by Daigua is indeed Daigua." It was not until after watching Tang Cheng leave the second yard and cannot see that Qizhi had a smile on his lips before turning around and went to the desk to clean up the soup cup.
Su Can is an ordinary old man. It is so ordinary that when you see him, it is hard to believe that this is the best person in the world who is good at stealth tracking and information collection. Perhaps it is because of his ordinaryness that he has achieved his achievements in this specific field?
After letting Tang Cheng and others sit down by the fire cage in the main house, Su Can sighed, holding a tea bowl of black pottery, "Not to mention the house and the monthly salary of fifty cents a month, just talking about the torture instruments from Qin Ershi, I haven't seen such a complete thing for many years. I really want it! But it's one thing to want it, and whether to afford it is another thing. I'm old and can't do anything, and I can't afford it. It makes the young master run away in vain. I'm really ashamed."
Tang Cheng ignored Su Can and called Lao Lao, and did not follow this. He would have to be led by him in the nose and circled, "Su Promotional Officer, the head of the Lang Bijun Department is over forty, right?"
Upon hearing this, Su Can put away his smile just now. He didn't say anything but nodded, but his eyes clearly had a strong sense of alertness.
Tang Cheng did nothing about this, and continued to smile slightly, "This age is a bit embarrassing. In the 24th Division of the Sixth Ministry of the Imperial City, the 40-year-old fifth-rank official Wailang is nothing, but the 40-year-old chief..." At this point, Tang Cheng sighed deeply like Su Can just now, "Hey, it's not easy to be an official! It's even more difficult to survive a Shangguan. Who knows if he will be re-elected? After a few years of training, it will be 45 in a blink of an eye. Well, I finally got Shangguan away. At this time, the Ministry of Personnel should think that you are exhausted and lack energy. Su Tuan, you are the old Ministry of Justice. I see if I'm talking about this principle?"
The difference between the heads of the Six Ministry of the Tang Dynasty and the Yuanwailang was just like the place where the place was in the middle and the deputy department in later generations. It seemed to be only half a level difference, but because of this half level difference, what really reflects is simply impossible to plot. How many officials in later generations could not get through this hurdle even though they had a hard life.
It is the same as the three thresholds for distinguishing counties, districts, districts, and provincial and ministerial levels in the officialdom of later generations. In the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, the seventh rank, the fifth rank, and the third rank were also three hurdles. It was these three hurdles that divided the officials in the world into three levels: high, medium and low.
At Su Hedi's age, if he could take advantage of this opportunity to take over as the Minister of the Wailang, he would step into the 5th rank. From then on, his promotion and transfer to the Ministry of Personnel would be denied direct jurisdiction. It would be considered that the emperor personally wrote a letter to the emperor. Only at this point can he truly have the opportunity to contact the officials of the department and the assistant minister of the second grade, which also means that he may continue to be promoted in the future.
But if Su He is not promoted this time, he will have no chance as an older person as a Shangguan. This means that no miracle will happen, and Su He's career will be over.
Half a level difference, if you go up, you will be bright, if you can't go up, you will be settled. Su He only has this opportunity in front of him.
After waiting for a while, seeing Su Can still not speak, Tang Chengnai said leisurely again: "It is not easy to be an official, but it is even more difficult to be a parent. When he was young, he hoped that they would grow up safely. After growing up, he hoped that they would have a good life and gain fame. Finally, after he got fame and fortune, he hoped that he would have a bright future. If he didn't do any random experience in these things, it would be difficult for parents to be at ease and be at ease. How could he talk about living his life?"
Tang Cheng didn't feel anything wrong with saying these words at his age. After saying that, he asked Su Can as usual: "Su Tui Guan has been a father for many years. I see if I'm talking about this?"
Su Can didn't answer Tang Cheng's words just like before. Tang Cheng was not in a hurry, but just smiled and started baking on the fire cage. The Su family's main room fell silent for a moment.
After a long time, there was an inaudible sigh in the room. Su Can, who had been silent since Tang Cheng spoke, finally spoke, "What are you going to do?"
"Just become the old business that Su Promoted Officer four years ago."
"Who are you? Who did the old man do it for this time?"
When Tang Cheng heard this, he did not answer directly, but just asked with a smile, "The Promoter really wants to know?"
"I was so crazy that I was confused." Su Can glanced at Tang Cheng deeply, "I don't know if it's better, or I don't know."
"Old first, go back and send that set of torture instruments and the deeds to Su Tuiguan." Tang Cheng rubbed his hands that had been roasted and warmed, and stood up. "On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, the imperial city has opened yamen, but it will only be the director after the seventh day of the Chinese New Year. The news of the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, the emperor should take up his new position as a member of the Ministry of the Chinese New Year. Then, the tenth day of the Chinese New Year..."
"I am waiting for your carriage and horse in this main room on the 10th day of the lunar month."
"Okay, refreshing", Tang Cheng praised the reward for the festival, "I don't know anything, I just help train some people. What kind of sin can this be done? New Year's Eve is approaching, so please relax and have a happy New Year. I wish you all the best for your family and your family to live longer than Nanshan and your wishes come true."
After bowing his hand, Tang Cheng stopped stopping and stepped out of the main room.
Guan Qianyu had just left early, and there were only Tang Cheng and Lai Fu on the way back. When he arrived in front of the mansion, Lai Fu did not hesitate this time like last time. "Master, I don't know if the big official has thought about the matter last time?"
"Wait for the tenth day of the lunar month to become a disciple. I've found the best master in this industry. As for how much you can learn, it depends on yourself." If Lai Fu stopped asking, Tang Cheng would never take the initiative to mention this matter, but since Lai Fu asked again, Tang Cheng would not hesitate. "Lai Fu, remember, this is what you have determined by yourself. Since you chose it yourself, don't regret it in the future."
"I can't even be happy, why do you regret it?" Lai Fu, with an excited look on his face, repeatedly said to Tang Cheng: "Thank you, the great official."
This year is over tonight, and next year is urged. The cold will go with one night, and spring will come with five o'clock.
New Year’s Eve is here!
Identities are different. At this special place tonight, the two girls, Lai Fu and Qizhi's personal maid went to the front yard to stay up to the New Year with the other servants. Every family should not sleep. Anyway, there is no reason to sleep tonight. When they went there, there was only Tang Cheng and Qizhi left in the room in the yard.
Tang Cheng stood quietly in front of the window and looked at the unbright sky outside. The new year is finally coming. Just under this sky, this golden city, known as the capital of all nations, is destined to not be calm in the new year. What should happen will definitely happen, and his own ideals, safety and even the return date are tied to everything that must happen.
From an ordinary person who has nothing to do with national affairs in later generations to a direct participant in the coup a thousand three hundred years ago, the life traveled through time is really wonderful!
"What are you thinking?" Qizhi handed the wine in his hand with the longevity wine soaked in cypress leaves to Tang Cheng and asked softly.
"I think maybe the most important thing in all the reasons for deciding what a person can do is position. Even a very ordinary person can learn to do things that he never dared to think before if he puts it in the right position."
"What are you thinking about this on the good day of New Year's Eve?" Qizhi withdrew his eyes from the sky outside the window, and said softly: "Tang Cheng, I'm cold."
"There is wind by the bed, hurry up and return the fire cage." After saying that, Tang Chengcai realized that the words of Qizhi seemed familiar.
"I'm cold, but I don't want to go back." The wine cup in my hand ripped out slightly, and Qizhi drilled into Tang Chengdi's arms.
"Sakai, do you know that you are very beautiful, very beautiful?"
"Yes", answered with a long nasal sound.
"Also, I've been away from home for a long time, do you know?"
Qizhi poked his head slightly out of Tang Cheng's arms, "What the hell are you going to say?"
"What I want to say is that I haven't been close to women for a long time, so it will be very dangerous for you to do this."
"I'm so thick-skinned." Suddenly, two more blemishes of light-blushed Qigui spit on his face, and then he started to laugh again, "I want to say something too."
"What?".
