Chapter 630 Transfer?

When Shen Yi returned to Jiankang, it was the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. After he finished dealing with the emperor and fooling the two local officials, it was already the afternoon of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. Shen Yi didn't go out for the whole afternoon, but just stayed at home with his family , By the way, I helped my father make some arrangements for the New Year.

Both father and son had a tacit understanding and did not bring up the matter of Zhou Yishan who came to the door.

Shen Zhang was too embarrassed to mention it, but Shen Yi was afraid of his father's embarrassment, so he didn't mention it again.

In the evening, after eating at home, Shen Yi changed into thick clothes in his room. Lu Qingque helped him tidy up his clothes and asked, "It's getting dark outside, why don't you go out to do things so late?" what?"

"Go see Master Zhao."

Shen Yi stretched out his hands to tidy up his somewhat uncomfortable collar, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao and father-in-law have a very close relationship, and they have helped our family a lot over the years. I should come to see him after I go out, otherwise I won't A little ignorant."

In addition to the friendship between the two families, there is actually some political bond between Shen Yi and Zhao Changping. After all, this Zhao Shangshu is now the political leader of the Ganquan School, and Shen Yi is from the serious Ganquan Academy. .

Although the political alliance of the "Oasis faction" is a relatively loose alliance without any mandatory binding force, all civil servants know that the tighter the civil servants hug each other, the stronger they will be, and they will not be attacked by others in the court. Group bullying.

Therefore, Zhao Shangshu's political appeal is very large.

Besides, the two families really have a good relationship. If Shen Yi doesn't go today, he will be told behind his back that he has been promoted and he doesn't recognize anyone.

More importantly...

Although the emperor hinted that he wanted him to be a lonely minister, Master Shen himself didn't want to be a shitty lonely minister.

The so-called lonely minister means not seeking for himself, but only for the king.

Master Shen not only wants to seek for himself, but also for his family!
"It's getting dark, why don't we go tomorrow?"

She said while helping Shen Yi tidy up his clothes.

Shen Yi shook his head: "I'm going today."

He smiled and said: "As for whether it is dark or not, the end of the year is the time when the household department is busy. Seeing that the court will have a rest in a few days, it is not certain whether Master Zhao will be at home now."

Lu Ruoxi also smiled and said: "I also heard people say that the household department is busy two words a year, one month at the beginning of the year and one month at the end of the year."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "When the spring and autumn grains are harvested, the household department will be busy."

Because of the cold weather, after putting on thick clothes, Lu Ruoxi covered him with a cloak outside, and then sent Shen Yi to the door.

Before getting into the carriage, she said softly: "Bring me a greeting for Uncle Zhao, just say that I will go to his house to pay him New Year's greetings after the Chinese New Year."

Lu Ruoxi is naturally very familiar with the Zhao family, and she would occasionally go to the Zhao family on weekdays to walk around with Mrs. Zhao of the Zhao family and Mrs. Zhao's two daughters-in-law.

It's just that she is a bit introverted, and spends most of her time at home planting flowers and grass.

The distance between the two families was not too far away. Master Shen's carriage soon stopped at the door of Zhao's house. He didn't ask his followers to go up and knock on the door. Instead, he carried the gifts he brought to the main door of Zhao's house and knocked on the left side. the wicket.

After all, the Zhao family has been an official family for many years, so naturally there is a concierge, and soon someone came to answer the door. After hearing that it was Shen Yi, the concierge hurriedly opened the side door, and bowed to Shen Yi: "Master Shen is here!" .”

Shen Yi nodded with a smile, and asked, "Is Uncle Zhao at home?"

"No."

The concierge shook his head, and said, "Master has been coming back late recently, and he didn't come back until midnight a few days ago."

He bowed his head and said: "Master Shen, you go in to drink tea, I will go to the household department to run for you and ask when the master will come back."

Shen Yi thought for a while, handed over the things in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's the end of the year, and the household department is probably very busy. You can just tell Mr. Zhao that I've been here. I'll come to visit again in two days after the imperial court rests." He is an old man."

The concierge shook his head again and again, and said in panic: "Master Shen, you are here, and you left without even drinking a cup of tea. Madam knows, you must beat the villain to death..."

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps behind them. Shen Yi looked back and saw a sedan chair stopped at the door of Zhao's house. A middle-aged man in official uniform...

It was Zhao Zhi and Zhao Changping.

Well, to be precise, they should be considered old people in this era.

However, Zhao Shangshu is tall and handsome. Although he has gray hair but not too much, and he is in good spirits, he does not look old at all.

Shen Yi greeted him with a smile, cupped his hands to Zhao Changping and said, "Uncle Zhao is back."

Zhao Changping glanced at the carriage parked in front of his house, then looked back at Shen Yi, and said with a smile, "When I saw this carriage, I knew it was Ziheng. Officer, most of the time you have to hire a sedan chair when you go out, but you, Shen Ziheng, are the only ones who ride in a carriage every day."

"I'm not used to sitting in a sedan chair."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "I always feel uncomfortable being carried around."

Zhao Shangshu pulled Shen Yi's sleeve, walked towards his house, and said with a smile: "This bearer also has the knowledge of bearers. Some bearers can lift quickly and steadily, more dexterous than a carriage, and more comfortable than a carriage."

"Your eccentricity, change it as soon as possible."

With a smile on his face, Shen Yi didn't answer any more, but said: "Uncle Master came back early today. I asked the concierge just now, and the concierge said that Uncle Master sometimes didn't come back until midnight a few days ago, so I thought about it in two days. Visiting the door to bother."

"Today the account cleared."

Zhao Changping glanced at Shen Yi, and smiled heartily: "Besides, I heard that Zi Hengyi returned to Jiankang yesterday, and I thought you might come home today, so I came back early."

"It was supposed to come yesterday..."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and sighed: "But I was called to the palace yesterday, and I didn't get home until late at night, so I didn't bother my uncle."

While the two were talking, they had already entered the main hall of the Zhao family. Zhao Shangshu ordered the family to serve tea, and then asked his servants to call the family out to meet others.

Shen Yi quickly shook his head: "It's already very late, so don't disturb my aunt and two elder brothers to rest."

Zhao Changping frowned, then gave up, and said with a smile: "Forget it, wait for two days to rest and when the uncle is fine, come home again, call Zhang Jian, and let's have a good drink." .”

Shen Yi bowed his head and said yes.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Changping asked, "How has Ziheng been doing his errands in the southeast for the past six months? Is there anything I need help from my uncle?"

As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the boss of the court, he is usually asked to do things by others, and it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to ask if he needs help.

It can be seen that Shen Yi still has a heavy weight with Zhao Shangshu.

In other words, Zhao Changping is very optimistic about Shen Yi's future.

Master Shen smiled and said: "The errands are running smoothly. If there are no mistakes next year, by the end of the year, my nephew will be able to return to Jiankang to deliver the order."

"As for helping..."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "As long as the uncle is still in the position of minister, it will be the greatest help to my nephew if those villains in the court are afraid and dare not harm my nephew..."

"next year…"

Zhao Shangshu didn't answer Shen Yi's last sentence, but took his last sentence. This Da Jiuqing thought for a while with his head down, and then slowly said: "Next year is too short..."

"You have just been promoted to the fifth rank, and it will be less than two years until the end of next year. As a military officer, you will never be promoted to the position of servant..."

"And continue to work in the Ministry of War, you, a doctor of the Ministry of War, will work step by step for at least ten years..."

Zhao Shangshu stroked the beard on his chin, and said: "Ziheng, you have made a lot of contributions in the southeast. After returning to Beijing next year, His Majesty will probably reward you with something. At that time, you can't ask for an official position with His Majesty, but to ask for an official position." Your Majesty will give you a transfer..."

He looked up at Shen Yi, then reached out and knocked on the table.

"Transfer to the doctor of the official department or..."

Zhao Shangshu's tone was calm.

"Or walking in the middle of the book."
