When he said this, Yan Honghou nodded: "What the third brother said is true, I should go and invite him in person!"

After that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Yan Bojian called to him: "Hey, are you going today? The little girl just arrived in Beijing today. It's been a tiring journey, so I'll give you a day's rest. Can't you go again tomorrow?"

Only then did Yan Honghou stop, turned around and patted himself on the forehead: "Look at my brain."

"It doesn't matter. The eldest brother and sister-in-law have a deep love for each other. I can understand it." After saying that, he stood up and ordered his servants to take away the tea and snacks. Then he asked his eldest brother, "Brother, how many drinks will you have with me?"

"to make."

The two brothers went together.

The Fu Mansion at this moment.

The motorcade stopped at the gate of the mansion. Seeing this, Yu Liang quickly came forward with the concierge.

"The young master and the young lady are back?"

Fu Ciyi responded lightly and helped Yan Funing get out of the car.

Then the couple went to the carriage behind and helped Wan Niang down.

Looking at the two masters supporting a beautiful-looking woman, he recalled that when the woman just got out of the car door, she fumbled her hands out. Yu Liang guessed that this woman was probably the elder of the two masters, and her eyes were not very good. good.

Then he stepped forward hurriedly: "Sir, young madam, who is this?"

"My mother." Fu Ciyi introduced.

"Well, madam!" Yu Liang greeted.

Wan Niang nodded with empty eyes and said, "Okay."

Yu Liang was convinced that Madam was invisible.

Passengers got off the four carriages one after another, and the group entered the mansion.

Fu Ciyi ordered Jianghehuhai to carry his money box in pairs, as well as the big wooden box Yan Fu Ning had packed in the money box.

Yu Liang followed Fu Ciyi and said, "I heard that Pengzhou is seriously flooded. Now that the young master and the young lady have returned safely, I feel relieved."

Yan Funing said in a warm voice: "I'm worried about the housekeeper. I also ask the housekeeper to help my mother find a comfortable and spacious yard." After saying that, she raised her finger and pointed at Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo, introducing, "These two are my sister-in-law and brother-in-law. We can find a place for my mother according to their preferences." A yard.”

Yu Liang said yes.

Yan Funing introduced Liu Song and He again: "These two are my uncles and aunts from the Liu family. Please help me find a guest house and clean up the guest room."

Liu Song said quickly: "Daughter, how can we be embarrassed to live with you? How about we buy the teahouse today and take out the entire room in the teahouse, so that your aunt and I can live in it."

Yan Funing glanced at Fu Ciyi quietly, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, she made her own decision: "Uncle and aunt will live in peace, and it won't be too late to decide where to live after buying the teahouse."

Wan Niang also said: "Funing is right, you are right to listen to her."

Fu Ciyi personally took Jiang Hehuhai to place the valuable box in the main courtyard before coming out.

When he came out, he met Yan Funing, who was instructing Yu Liang to help Nanny Li and others arrange accommodation.

"I'm going into the palace. If I don't come back after lunch, you don't have to wait for me for lunch." Fu Ciyi said.

Yan Funing agreed.

When Fu Ciyi entered the palace to meet the emperor, the Duke, the prime minister and the six ministers were all present in the imperial study.

The emperor was not surprised to see him coming back, because he had already received news that Pengzhou's flood control had been quite effective.

Fu Ciyi bowed his hands and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

"Pingshen, how was the result of Fu Aiqing's trip?"

Although he already knew the result, as the emperor, he still had to ask this question.

Fu Ciyi reported truthfully: "Pengzhou is located in a low-lying area, and the flooding this time is more serious than in previous years. It is really difficult to control..."

Before he finished speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said: "Your Majesty, from what I can see, Mr. Fu is young and has little experience in managing floods. It doesn't matter if he fails." The Minister of the Ministry of Justice also said: "All floods in Pengzhou are floods." In the past, only important officials from the court went to provide disaster relief. I suggested that Mr. Fu should atone for his crimes and be responsible for the post-disaster affairs. "

The Prime Minister frowned slightly. He wanted to recruit Fu Ciyi as his son-in-law.

But just now, the Six Ministers invited him to come to see the emperor together with Mr. Yan Guogong. They said that Fu Ciyi had not returned for a long time, which was probably due to the failure of disaster relief.

In March, when Fu Ciyi recommended himself, he was not optimistic about it.

At that time, he beat him overtly and covertly, but the young man was like a lump of elm wood, unable to listen to any bad words.

Although he wanted to help and say a few words at this moment, March's anger had to be vented at this moment.

Then he also said: "Master Fu is good in knowledge, but his practical skills are still lacking. In the future, he will learn more from the veterans of the court. I believe he will make great achievements."

Seeing that the Prime Minister had said this, the Minister of War also agreed: "Controlling floods is the same as marching to fight wars. The most taboo is talking about war on paper. Master Fu is a new scholar, so it goes without saying that he is knowledgeable, but when doing things, you still have to think carefully. "

The emperor looked at Yan Guogong: "What do Yan Aiqing think?"

Duke Yan held up his hand and said, "I thought I had to listen to Mr. Fu's explanation first. How can it be so difficult?"

Fu Ciyi raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not optimistic about him anymore.

The emperor turned his attention to the other three official books: "What do you think?"

"We are just like Duke Yan and the Prime Minister."

The emperor adjusted his sitting posture on the dragon chair and asked Fu Ciyi with a smile: "Please continue talking about a series of matters when you first arrived in Pengzhou and beyond."

Fu Ciyi lowered his head slightly and said yes.

It's really troublesome, he usually doesn't like to talk much.

However, he had to say something at this moment, so he spoke: "When we first arrived in Pengzhou, Wei Chen and his wife rescued Yan Bojian, the third son of the Yan family. Due to the water situation, the boundary between the official road and the river was unclear, so Yan Bojian overturned his car and fell into the river."

After hearing this, Duke Yan came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think Master Fu's trip will definitely be successful."

The emperor pointed to his forehead and smiled: "Fu Aiqing saved your son, and you changed your mind?"

Duke Yan also laughed: "Your Majesty, I just wanted to listen to Mr. Fu explain how difficult it is."

The emperor shook his head slightly and raised his chin to signal Fu Ciyi to continue.

Fu Ciyi briefly talked about the disaster relief work in the past month, emphasizing that Pengzhou officers and soldiers and the people worked together to resist the floods.

He did not mention the fact that he was washed away by the flood at all.

But he mentioned Yan Funing's hard work in treating the epidemic.

The emperor was satisfied and said loudly: "Fu Aiqing didn't say that he almost died in the flood."

As soon as these words came out, the dignitaries present all realized that the emperor had already known Fu Ciyi's experience in Pengzhou.

Looking back, the emperor smiled and asked Fu Ciyi just now, which shows that he is very optimistic about this new champion.

The Prime Minister said hurriedly: "Master Fu is indeed a disciple of the Emperor, and he behaves calmly in times of crisis."

Several ministers also changed their tune.

Fu Ciyi stood calmly.

At this time, the emperor said loudly: "Fu Aiqing has made great contributions to disaster relief and has been promoted to a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy."

Fu Ciyi thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The prime minister looked at Fu Ciyi with a smile on his face. Seeing his upright figure, the idea of ​​recruiting him as his son-in-law became more and more intense.

In just a short period of time, Fu Ciyi was promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank as a lecturer.

Upgraded two levels in a row.

This kind of speed would take several years or even ten years for other top picks to achieve. (End of chapter)
