Chapter 47 Jinyi
Lu Chengfeng was seriously injured, he could barely sit up after two days, and after resting for a few days before getting out of bed, everyone returned to the city.

A thick decoction was boiling in the Dongcheng garden, Qingfeng carefully cooled it, and brought it into the house, behind the screen Lu Chengfeng was changing his clothes, he put down the medicine with his head down, and said: "Master, the medicine is ready."

Lu Chengfeng said kindly, turned around, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, as if she didn't feel any pain, she stepped out of the house, and there was someone waiting in the garden.

Lu Chengfeng smiled slowly at the person, nodded and said, "Eunuch Qiu."

Qiu Erying stepped forward with a smile, and said with unconscious respect in his tone, "Miss Lu, let's go."

Lu Chengfeng nodded and followed Qiu Er out the door.

The carriage drove past the East Avenue and walked along the avenue. Lu Chengfeng closed his eyes, and the two of them were silent all the way.

The palace has long been a different scene.

Qiu Er led the people through the palace wall. The red bricks and glazed tiles stood solemn and majestic. In the imperial garden, Qin Zhiheng stood with his hands behind his back.

Qiu Er could only send her here, he stepped back, Lu Chengfeng stepped forward, walked outside the pavilion, bowed and saluted: "Lu Chengfeng sees the emperor."

Qin Zhiheng turned his head, looked him up and down for a while, and said, "How's the injury?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "He has recovered."

Qin Zhiheng turned his back and said, "Take a look, this imperial garden has a nice view, you probably haven't seen it in Subei."

Lu Chengfeng stepped inside, looked at it, and said with a smile: "The land of the Son of Heaven, it is hard to compare it."

Qin Zhiheng smiled, and said: "You have done a great job in rescuing the royal enclosure, what do you want?"

Lu Chengfeng lowered his eyes slightly: "The responsibility lies, and I dare not take credit for it."

Qin Zhiheng smiled lightly when he heard the words, and said: "Don't be modest, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. You grew up in Subei and entered the military camp for seven years. The history of the Lu family has long been overturned. I don't want to know the process of Lefang Secretary coming out, so... if you want gold and silver, I will reward you with great rewards."

Lu Chengfeng lowered his hand: "Money is something outside of the body, it's useless for me to want it."

Qin Zhiheng said: "What if I give you a beautiful marriage?"

Lu Chengfeng shook his head: "The matter of getting married should be a person with the same mind. I have never met him before, so what a wonderful talk."

Qin Zhiheng turned to look at her, pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you want to become an official?"

Lu Chengfeng didn't dodge or dodge, and replied seriously: "I think."

Qin Zhiheng smiled slightly: "You can apply for any official position that is currently vacant in Yanjing City, as long as it is reasonable."

Yasukuni did not explicitly prohibit women from being officials, so there are many female officials with outstanding talents.

Lu Chengfeng pondered.

Qin Zhiheng said: "There are vacancies in the Ministry of Officials, and there are also vacancies in the Yushitai, and the Ministry of Punishment is also short of manpower recently..."

"Jinyiwei."

Qin Zhiheng was slightly surprised: "Jin Yiwei?"

Jin Yiwei did have a vacancy, he was silent for a while, and said: "Lu Chengfeng, you are so bold! You are a third-rank official. Do you know how many years it takes others to be promoted to a third-rank official."

Lu Chengfeng said: "After Meng Fanzhong's death, Han Shushan was supposed to be promoted. The official department raised it twice, but the emperor has not made any move. The emperor does not want Han Shushan to take this position, but he has not found a favorite candidate for a long time."

Qin Zhiheng narrowed his eyes.

Lu Chengfeng continued: "The commander of Jinyiwei, a third-rank official, is naturally not as good as the promotion in the Ministry of Officials or Yushitai, but Jinyiwei is the emperor's Jinyiwei. I think there is no one more suitable than me in Man Yanjing." People, I was born in Subei, I don't have any background in Yanjing, and because of family affairs, I was cast aside by the big families, no one can win me over, the emperor wants a clean Jinyiwei, Han Shushan has too many entanglements behind him, there is no way I can't take this seat."

Qin Zhiheng laughed, and his eyes showed approval: "You can see clearly."

Qin Zhiheng laughed twice, turned serious, and said, "Have you figured it out?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded, his meaning was unclear.

Qin Zhiheng paced forward, looked at the beautiful scenery in the garden, and said: "I have agreed, and I will ask the Ministry of Officials to draw up an appointment letter in a while. From now on, Jinyiwei will be under your control."

"The emperor's grace is mighty."

Qiu Er personally sent people out of the palace gate, his attitude was still very respectful, when he saw someone waiting at the gate of the palace from a distance, he bent down: "The slave will be sent here, Lord Lu, go slowly."

Lu Chengfeng didn't say anything, and strode forward.

Xie Jiuxiao stepped forward to meet her, smiling: "Sister, I went to the mansion to look for you, Qing Feng said that you have entered the palace."

Lu Chengfeng said: "So you came here?"

Xie Jiuxiao walked side by side with her: "I'm not worried about you, the emperor called you into the palace for the reward."

Lu Chengfeng got into the carriage, and Xie Jiuxiao also squeezed up.

She said: "Yes."

Xie Jiuxiao asked curiously, "What did you reward?"

Lu Chengfeng didn't hide it either: "Commander Jin Yiwei."

Xie Jiuxiao frowned, as if he didn't understand.

Lu Chengfeng looked at him and said, "Why this look?"

Xie Jiuxiao's face was a bit weird, he thought about it, and finally laughed again: "Very good, very good..."

He was very nice two times in a row, Lu Chengfeng said with a smile in his eyes, "What would you say is good?"

Xie Jiuxiao held his chin seriously: "My elder brother is the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and sister, you are the head of Jinyiwei. I will walk sideways in Yanjing from now on."

Lu Chengfeng laughed, and asked, "Don't you hate Jin Yiwei's style the most?"

Xie Jiuxiao said: "The scorer, if it is Han Shushan, Meng Fanzhong and his ilk, I would disdain it."

Xie Jiuxiao raised the car curtain and said, "Where are we going?"

This is not the way back to East Street.

Lu Chengfeng said: "South of the city, Hu Mansion."

Xie Jiuxiao looked at her with a serious look: "Hu Mansion?"

"I wanted to go by myself, but you came up by yourself."

Xie Jiuxiao thought about that stubborn old man, and there was no smile on his face: "It's strange to say, there are many dudes in Yanjing, why does he always stare at me..."

Lu Chengfeng said: "You have the right to love and the deepest responsibility."

Xie Jiuxiao chuckled: "...Are you kidding me?"

Lu Chengfeng couldn't explain to him Hu Rong's special prejudice against him, he wouldn't really do anything to Xie's family, he looked at his former self from Xie Jiuxiao, he didn't know whether it was fear or something else, he only hoped that Xie Jiuxiao would somewhat restrained.

Lu Chengfeng closed his eyes and said, "If you don't want to go, I'll send you back home."

After being quiet for a while, Xie Jiuxiao said: "...It's not that we can't go, it's just a matter of having a meal."

The carriage stopped at the Hu Mansion in the south of the city, and the servant opened the door to welcome people in.

Xie Jiuxiao was the first to be born and the second to be acquainted, and went forward first. As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Hu Rong who was about to go out when he heard the noise. , Lang Lang smiled: "Master Hu is well."

Hu Rong was puzzled, speechless, full of doubts, and said, "Why do you always follow Chengfeng around? How does your elder brother discipline you?"

Xie Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows, automatically ignored the second half of the sentence, and said, "My sister and I have known each other since we were young, and we have a good relationship."

Hu Rong stared, he later heard Lu Chengfeng talk about what happened seven years ago, so the bond between the two was the same, but no matter whether it was the matter of Lefang Secretary or Xie's family, the kindness should be cleared up, why did it seem to be more and more unclear? stand up.

Lu Chengfeng entered the door later, and saluted respectfully: "Mr. is well."

Xie Jiuxiao curled his lips and saluted.

Hu Rong automatically ignored Xie Jiuxiao, smiled at Lu Chengfeng, and said, "I've asked someone to cook some of your favorite dishes, let's go."

The two sat down with Hu Rong, and soon the food was brought to the table. Lu Chengfeng saw that it was indeed her favorite food in the past, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Hu still remembers my preferences."

Xie Jiuxiao poked a Sixi meatball and took a bite. He wasn't hungry. After eating a few chopsticks, he saw a white porcelain jug on the table and immediately poured it out.

He took a sip and found that it was something he had never tasted before. The wine was full-bodied and sweet with a touch of sweetness, which is rarely seen in Yanjing wine shops.

Xie Jiuxiao poured himself a drink, and after several drinks, Hu Rong suddenly said, "Come, I'll drink with you."

Xie Jiuxiao thought that he was going to have a wine fight with him, but he was not willing to quit, the wine glass was filled immediately, you two had three glasses of wine, I had three glasses of wine, a jug of wine would soon bottom out.

"Come on! Serve the wine!"

Lu Chengfeng knew that the two of them would have to make trouble as soon as they met. Fortunately, it was just a wine fight. When Hu Rong was young, he was famous for keeping a thousand cups, so she didn't worry about it, so she just ignored it and ate by herself.

The consequences of this disregard are very serious. She thought that although Xie Jiuxiao was good at drinking, he could not drink Hu Rong, but the two of them looked like they would not give in to each other, stubborn and naive, and the wine was changed from a porcelain bottle to a jar.

"Come on! You have three bowls and I have three bowls! Do you want to drink!"

"Who is afraid of who!"

"Relax, bastard!"

Lu Chengfeng looked at the sky outside the window, the hall was full of alcohol and wine, and it was too late to dissuade him at this point.

She walked out of the hall door and summoned the servants in the house. There were few servants in Hu's house, but most of them knew Lu Chengfeng and knew that Hu Rong treated her extremely well, so they all regarded her as half master.

"Please prepare two guest rooms, prepare two bowls of hangover soup, and then send someone to Xie's mansion, saying that the second young master drank too much in Hu's mansion and rested here tonight."

The boy looked hesitant.

Lu Chengfeng frowned.

Ai Ai, the servant Qiqi said: "...Master just specially instructed that Hu's residence is not allowed to reserve a room for Mr. Xie tonight."

He thought it was a wine fight, and Uncle Hu's affection was here. If Xie Jiuxiao went back drunk, Xie Yunqian would probably be reprimanded.

Lu Chengfeng was amused by this childish behavior, she shook her head helplessly while laughing, and said, "Forget it, I have a wing room, right?"

The boy hurriedly responded naturally, so he started to prepare.
