Chapter 498

Hearing Mrs. Li's questioning, Qin Dewei squeezed out a smile and said, "It's too windy here, talking will make you breathe too much cold, which is not good for your health.

So everyone, stop talking and wait until father comes back to the city. "

Miss Li calmed down, glanced at Xu Miaoxuan next to her, and stood on the other side.

Li Jing sighed softly, he was not optimistic about this relationship with his sister, but there was nothing he could do, no matter what he did, it was not a good choice.

Qin Dewei has a deeper understanding of the theory of relativity, when a man spends an hour with a beautiful woman, it feels like only a minute has passed;

But one minute between two beauties can feel like an hour.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, I finally saw a stagecoach approaching, and then stepfather Zeng lifted the curtain and came down.

Qin Dewei and Xu Miaoxuan rushed forward to greet her and greeted her.

Stepfather Zeng helped the two of them up, looked at Xu Miaoxuan, and then at Miss Li, his gloating expression flashed past.

Then he gave instructions to Qin Dewei: "The brothers and sisters of the Li family came to Beijing this time to take over the throne.

They are all from the frontier of Liaodong, and there are no other relatives or old friends in the capital to take refuge in, so you clean up the west courtyard at home and settle down with their brothers and sisters. "

"Ah, here." Qin Dewei couldn't help showing embarrassment.

The current house in Wugong Hutong is the one that the Feng family bought when they went to Beijing to rescue people. It has a main courtyard and east and west courtyards.

Now the main courtyard is left to his parents, and Qin Dewei lives alone in the Dongkua courtyard with two entrances, and it will be here when he gets married in the future.

Xikuayuan lent Xu Gu and Chen Feng two fellow villagers to live in when they were rushing for the exam, but now that they have both moved out, it is indeed vacant.

Stepfather Zeng frowned in dissatisfaction, what could be wrong with this?When did the son become stingy?

Then the brothers and sisters of the Li family also helped you a lot back then, don't they understand the principle of knowing how to repay you?

Qin Dewei felt extremely miserable, he didn't read the almanac when he went out today, who can tell him what day it is today?
He secretly glanced at Sister Xuan, and then replied hesitantly to his father, "The west courtyard is already used by her, and she has given it to someone else, and is doing some renovation."

Stepfather Zeng asked suspiciously: "Reform what? Even if you lend it to others, don't you need to remodel?"

These days, the word filial piety comes first, and my father has to answer his questions.

So Qin Dewei was even more hesitant: "Lend it to others to practice here, and pray for the family by the way, so we need to make a little modification."

Xu Miaoxuan's eyes were wide open. Others present couldn't hear the connotation. Could it be that she couldn't?
Stepfather Zeng just felt baffled, "Could it be that our family is already such a wealthy family and started raising a family temple?"

Xu Miaoxuan couldn't help explaining: "Master Zeng doesn't know something, this practitioner is a little fairy."

"What?" The voice came from Miss Li behind Qin Dewei.

Stepfather Zeng's eyes also stared round, this careless and cheap son, did he play too much tricks?

Qin Dewei smiled awkwardly but politely: "There are secrets and hidden secrets. This is related to Jiangshan Sheji. Let me explain it slowly in the future."

This is not a place for lectures, stepfather Zeng snorted coldly, and asked again: "Then how will the brothers and sisters of the Li family arrange it? You must not lose your etiquette."

Qin Dewei is also thinking about this question, if it is an ordinary old friend, it will be easy to handle, the key is that she is not ordinary.

Xu Miaoxuan took the initiative to take it down and said: "Master Zeng, don't worry about this, I will arrange it."

Then he said: "The elder brother of the Li family will live in Qin Lang's courtyard, and the younger sister of the Li family will live with me. It's so convenient for each other and yet close to each other. How good is that?"

Stepfather Zeng nodded appreciatively, "Very good! That's it."

Qin Dewei didn't dare to look at Xu Miaoxuan, nor did he dare to look at Miss Li, he lowered his head and said bitterly, "It's all about father."

Everyone set off back to the city together, Xu Miaoxuan took the initiative to greet Miss Li and said, "Sister Li, it's windy outside, let's take the car together!"

When they arrived in Xicheng, they were divided into three groups. Grandfather Zeng went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to return the imperial envoy to Guanfang, Qin Dewei led Li Jing home, and Xu Miaoxuan took Li Xiaoniang back to his residence.

After returning home, Qin Dewei led Li Jing to the Dongkua Courtyard where he lived, and ordered the servants to quickly clean up a wing room and accommodate Li Jing to live there.

Then let the cook warm up the food and drink, invite Li Jing to eat and drink to warm up, and chatted about Liaodong by the way.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Dewei guessed that his stepfather and mother would meet again after a long absence, so he came to the main courtyard to ask for an audience.

The stepfather Zeng finished his errand of inspecting the censor this time, just like Qin Dewei last time when he returned to Beijing, he had to accept the errand inspection first.

But the investigation of Zeng's stepfather was not as miraculous as Qin Dewei's last time, and it was finally pushed to the Grand Scholar to do it.

This kind of inspection of imperial envoys and censors has a complete and mature system, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is mainly responsible.

This is also the reason why Qin Dewei came to see his stepfather at night. He had to remind him: "But the person in charge of the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is Huo Tao, the censor of the Zuodu."

How to say about the position of Zuodu censor, it can't control the specific work of the censor, each censor is independent, and can directly submit a report without going through the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

But Zuodu Yushi can manage the assessment and inspection of Yushi, although he often has to argue with the officials.

But stepfather Zeng was fearless, and even had the wit to say: "So you mean, I'm going to be implicated by you again?"

Qin Dewei couldn't help but said: "Master Zeng, be serious, this is your future!"

"Scholar Zhang, who has been neglected by the imperial court for ten years, can be sent to the rank of four ministers by you. As a father, what do I have to worry about?"

Qin Dewei didn't bother to hide any more, and directly analyzed: "I predict that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not deliberately accuse you of faults and try to find ways to accuse you.

After all, the contribution to the chaos in Liaodong is too prominent, and no one can cover it up, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate will probably find some excuses to downplay your contribution.

Under normal circumstances, the patrol censor should have been promoted by one rank, and with the addition of great achievements in calming the chaos, father, you should have been promoted by two ranks this time.

If the Metropolitan Procuratorate intentionally tampers with you and only promotes you by one or one and a half ranks, it will be a loss, and you must guard against it. "

The stepfather Zeng said again: "Then there is still the Ministry of Officials, and how to be promoted in the end is arranged by the Ministry of Officials."

Xia Yan is now in charge of the Ministry of Officials, so he is on his side, so stepfather Zeng is not very worried.

Qin Dewei said: "The Ministry of Officials is the next step, we must first ensure that there are no problems with the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Otherwise, the official department may not be willing to fight with the Metropolitan Procuratorate at all costs for you. "

Stepfather Zeng asked curiously: "Then just tell me, what do you want to do?"

Qin Dewei said confidently: "Of course I have a solution, but it's hard to say now. When you go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for questioning, you can see their tone before you speak."

Empress Zeng laughed, and patted Qin Dewei on the shoulder: "A real man is upright and aboveboard, he builds himself on merit, and doesn't need to be a fool!"

Qin Dewei patted his chest and said, "Father, don't worry, this time he will be aboveboard!"
