Houmen's concubine

When it was time to eat dinner at night, Wang Tong'er became more and more uncomfortable. It was nothing but the way the sister-in-law looked at her, as if looking at a rascal who was free.Eyes full of disdain and unhappiness.

Isn't that what it is?
Kong Xuan just saw that there were seven servants brought by Wang Tong'er. How much did these seven people spend each day?
The most important thing is, don't know when they will live?
No wonder Kong Xuan was worried, her natal father was a poor scholar, so how could she have any dowry?There is no personal money.

The expenses of the family are maintained by her husband's property, and she usually saves money on food and expenses.It's just that when you talk about the capital, if you want to deal with those noble ladies, you will inevitably spend money to buy clothes and jewelry with an hourly salary to make a deal.

The 36-year-old Kong Xuan would have reached the age of being a grandmother if her first child had not died young.

Afterwards, Hua Tao, the eldest son of Washington, who was ten years old, and daughter Hua Ying, who was six years old, were born.

When they first got married, Hua Wenge didn't dislike the poverty of his in-laws. The original Mrs. Hua also saw that Kong Xuan was honest and handsome, so she agreed to this marriage.How did she know that the eldest daughter-in-law from a small family is delicate and petty?
Chen Jiaojiao traveled here for the past two years, and lived there for two or three months every year. She wanted to avoid the original owner's husband, and she only cared about the old man not waving in front of her.So I didn't pay much attention to Kong Xuan's character.

Just when the family was full of food and drink, and ready to rest, Fu Gui, the steward of Washington, hurried in and reported: "Master, Eldest Young Master, the father-in-law in the palace is waiting in the antechamber holding the imperial decree."

Ok?The father-in-law in the palace is holding the imperial edict?strangeness!
No wonder Hua Yu was surprised, he was not an important minister in the court, if there was an important matter, he should announce it to his immediate boss, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Hua Yu got up quickly and said to Huawen Pavilion: "Father, you go to rest with your mother first, and my son will go to see you after receiving the order."

When Huawenge heard it, it should be that the emperor's imperial edict had arrived.

I didn't expect the news about the emperor's eyeliner to come so fast. I had just arrived home and had dinner when the imperial decree arrived.

Um!As expected of a wise gentleman, his work efficiency is high!

He saw his son hurrying towards the front yard, and he followed behind in a calm manner.

Only Kong Xuan was anxious: the father-in-law is too good at joining in the fun, the eunuch who came from the palace asked his husband-in-law to convey the emperor's will, why is he following behind as an old man?

Wang Tong'er and Chen Jiaojiao looked at each other, and they both saw the displeasure on Kong Xuan's face.

Chen Jiaojiao coughed lightly and said, "Qin Yu, it's so late, the presence of people in the palace may be the emperor's imperial edict for your husband."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told the servants who were standing outside the door: "Hurry up and unpack your luggage, the master will go to the palace to report on his duties tomorrow, so you can't delay the morning court."

"Yes, the slave will go here."

Huawenge and Chen Jiaojiao had ordered them to pack their luggage and wash up early to rest.However, when they arrived on the first day, they were afraid of breaking the rules, so they all stood outside the door and waited for their masters' orders.Hearing this, he left.

Wang Tong'er hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "Well, the emperor is very fond of Mr., and this time Mr. re-reporting his duties must be a great achievement and realize his ambition."

Kong Xuan: "..."

Is it possible that the father-in-law came to Beijing to be an official, not to retire?

Chen Jiaojiao's two words were like someone slapping her in the face loudly!
The father and son arrived at the front hall one after the other. Before Hua Yu could say hello to the eunuch holding the imperial decree, the eunuch passed him and walked towards Huawen Pavilion, saying hello warmly: "Hey! Are you all right, sir?"

Huawen Pavilion took a look, hey!It's an acquaintance.

It was Wu Zhi who was next to Mr. Xiao, and Huawenge only belatedly realized that Mr. Xiao was actually the current emperor after Mingzheng Emperor left Beijing.

At that time, I had a good impression of the emperor in my heart: he is a good emperor for the country and the people!
Time flies so fast, when I was an official in the court, the emperor was still a child of seven or eight years old!

Huawenge laughed, cupped his hands and said to him: "I have seen my father-in-law, so I will trouble you at night."

"Hey, don't bother, don't bother. You don't know, our master is most thirsty for talents!" Wu Zhi said to Huawen Pavilion.

After the two of them chatted about the commonplace, it was time to get down to business, "Mr. Hua, accept the order!" After Wu Zhi finished speaking, he passed the imperial edict from the young eunuch behind him.

Huawenge hurriedly knelt down in front of Wu Zhi who was holding the imperial decree in his hands. Seeing the eldest son who was still in a daze standing still, he stretched out his hand to tug at the hem of his robe, and then pulled Shenyou's son back to his soul, and hurriedly knelt down. down.

"By God, the emperor's edict said: In the 21st year of Yuanhe, Tanhualang Huawenge has an incomparable talent, grows strong when he grows old, and can be worthy of a great job... he was awarded a bachelor's degree in the cabinet... I appreciate it! Thank you! !"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Huawen Pavilion shouted long live three times, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully received the imperial decree.

"Eunuch, please drink tea." Then he stood up and greeted Wu Zhi for tea.

Wu Zhi took the red official robe from the little eunuch behind him, and handed it to Huawenge himself.

"No, our family has to go back to renew the decree." Wu Zhi waved his fat short arms, and grinned at Huawen Pavilion: "Lord Hua, see you in the palace!"

Fu Gui, the steward of Hua Fu, hurriedly stuffed the two heavy brocade bags into the hands of Wu Zhi and the little eunuch respectively.

Fugui is the housekeeper next to Hua Yu, and after the shock, there is surprise: The Hua family is about to become popular, and the old man who thought he was taking care of the elderly has become an official...
From now on, this family will definitely be in charge of the master and the old lady, don't wait until tomorrow, tonight the house will definitely spread wildly: the old master has become an official!
When Hua Wenge did not come to Huafu, the servants in Huafu all called Hua Yu the master and Kong Xuan the madam.

As soon as the old couple arrived, Hua Yu and Kong Xuan were reduced to the status of eldest young master and eldest young mistress.

Wu Zhi was also polite, stuffed the brocade bag into his bosom, bowed his hands to Huawen Pavilion, and walked away with Buddha dust in his hand.

The dazed Hua Yu didn't know how to kneel just now, but now she doesn't know how to get up.

What a social death scene...

That appearance seems to say: Who am I?where am i

No matter how much he fell over his head, he never imagined that his old father, who had returned to his hometown after returning to his official position to take care of him, would start his official career again!
Although my father's rank is as high as my own, but it's the cabinet!

Since it is impossible for me to enter the cabinet until I am old, I estimate that I will hardly have room for advancement as a servant of the Ministry of Officials in ten or eight years.

The surprise came too suddenly!
Now that my father is an official in the court, I also have a backbone and confidence!
Before he could recover from his astonishment and joy, the guard at the gate sent a letter, "My lord, it's a letter from Xu Dajun's residence."

Hua Yu didn't rush to be the first either. It is estimated that General Xu's letter was written to his old father.
