Wangfu little dumb wife

Su Qing ignored Su Guogong's face, and took a few steps forward, and said in a light tone, "Brother, if there is nothing else, I will go first."

Su Guogong stood in place, staring at Su Qing's back, thinking about what happened to the Su family in recent years, he felt more and more that he should not have been pushed out at the beginning.

It is easy to send God off, but now it is almost impossible to invite him back.

……

This time Su Qing was transferred back by Emperor Guangxi himself, and went directly to face the saint when he entered the palace.

The Empress Dowager passed away, and the palace was attending a funeral. Emperor Guangxi hadn't been interested in state affairs recently. Apart from going to the mourning hall every day, he was staying in the Qianqing Palace. He was much more silent than before.

When Su Qing saw him, he said a few words of relief.

Even because of the depression in the Empress Dowager's funeral, the emperor's emotions did not show on his face, so he asked Su Qing about his release in the past few years.

Su Qing told the truth.

Emperor Guangxi was very satisfied after hearing this, and thought that the imperial court was just at the time of employing people, and he intended to train Su Qing to be the next God of War, so he directly promoted him to be the governor of the left army, and the official rank was first rank.

Under normal circumstances, he would be promoted when he was released from abroad, and Su Qing was already prepared, but he never expected that Emperor Guangxi would directly grant him such a great official position and power.

"The border wars are chaotic, and I have trained in the army for many years. It is inevitable that I cannot do what I want. I have to make two preparations. Can Su Aiqing understand my good intentions?"

The emperor's voice was solemn and dignified.

Su Qing nodded, "I understand."

Once Xu Guangfu was defeated, he had to go out with reinforcements immediately.

Giving him such a great official position is not because of how much merit he has done, but because he hopes that he can make this merit.

The burden on his shoulders was invisibly increased. Su Qing thought of his wife and two-year-old daughter at home, and said solemnly, "This humble minister will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations."

After going to the mourning hall to express condolences to the Empress Dowager, Su Qing went to the Commanding and Envoy Department of the capital again.

Knowing that he was promoted, many colleagues congratulated him.

If it was different from normal times, those people would have to let him treat guests to drink. Nowadays, during the national funeral, drinking and having fun is prohibited. What's more, most of the teahouses and restaurants in the capital are closed. Even if they want to drink, they can't find a place .

Su Qing briefly learned about the situation in the new yamen and then returned home.

He didn't have lunch, and Lin Xiaoyue was taking a nap with her daughter when he got home.

Jin Zhi came to ask: "Qi Ye, do you want your servants to prepare some meals?"

Su Qing nodded, and then instructed, "Avoid meat, get some vegetarian food."

Lin Xiaoyue was a light sleeper, she vaguely heard voices outside, afraid of disturbing her daughter, she got up lightly.

Seeing the man coming back, she asked about the situation of her previous work report in the palace.

Su Qing said: "It's pretty smooth, no trouble."

Lin Xiaoyue looked at him, "I heard that those who come back from outsiders will be promoted. Has Master Qi been promoted?"

When she asked the words, she felt that something was wrong. Now that the palace is attending a funeral, the emperor must be very busy, how can he have time to pay attention to these things?

The man's answer was beyond her expectations, "Leap over the rank, directly promoted from the third rank to the first rank, and serve as the commander of the left army."

Lin Xiaoyue was dumbfounded.

Because her husband is a military officer, she has learned about this aspect of official positions, and knows that those who can take up the post of "capital governor" must either have made military achievements or be the heirs of meritorious officials.

Obviously, Su Qing is neither.

"Why does the emperor praise you so much?" Lin Xiaoyue asked with doubts in her heart.

Su Qing asked without answering, "Isn't it good to be praised by the emperor?"

Lin Xiaoyue pursed her lips, "Master Qi is now the highest-ranking person in the Su family, and the mansion has specified that there must be actions. Once they can't win you over, they might try their best to destroy you."

"Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with earth." Su Qing said, "We are not soft persimmons to be manipulated by others."

He said again: "After the national funeral is over, I will ask for an imperial order for you. When you have a rank, the people at the mansion will not dare to provoke you easily."

The order of the wife follows the official rank of the husband.

Su Qing is now the governor of the first-rank left army, so Lin Xiaoyue can ask for the title of first-rank wife.

She suddenly felt like she was dreaming, "I can't believe that I can still be a first-rank wife in my lifetime."

Su Qing: "...how much do you look down on your husband?"

Lin Xiaoyue coughed and said that was not what she meant.

Su Qing didn't want to argue with her, waited for Jin Zhi to come in with food, moved to the table and sat down to eat.

Such a big event happened in the palace, but with Song Wei's rank, he couldn't go to the mourning hall to express his condolences.

There is no imperial order on Wen Wan's head, let alone entering the palace.

Therefore, the national mourning did not have much impact on the Song family, except that they could not eat and drink.

Song Wei went to the Hanlin Academy as usual, he didn't have to enter the palace these few days, and he couldn't see Emperor Guangxi, but he heard from his colleagues that the family of three of the deposed eldest princess came back to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.

Song Wei paid attention to it, and went home at night and told Wen Wan: "Mother-in-law and the others may have come to the capital."

Wen Wan was finishing the clothes for Xiao Yanli, she was in a daze when she heard the words, her finger was almost pricked by the needle point, thanks to Song Wei's timely reminder.

Feeling that the man's eyes were focused on her, Wen Wan's hand holding the embroidery needle seemed a little cramped.

After a while, she said softly: "No matter what happened before, the dead are the most important, and the biological mother is gone. It is only natural for her to come to express condolences."

The old "Godmother" no longer exists, and the sound of "she" creates a sense of distance.

Song Wei did not persuade Wen Wan to recognize her biological mother. She could accept the maximum if she could not quarrel or break her mind after learning the truth. In her early twenties, even if her heart was more mature than her peers, she would not be able to accept it. In this kind of thing, there is always a buffer period.

"Wanwan doesn't want to see her, so she won't see her. There will still be opportunities in the future." Song Wei said.

"My clothes are almost ready, so I have to hand them over to the little guy myself." Wen Wan said, biting off the end of the thread, putting the embroidery needle back into the needle bag, lifting up the newly made clothes with both hands and unfolding them for a look. After making sure there was nothing dissatisfied, they folded them up neatly, and then looked at the man, "Sir, please find a chance to meet them. It's inconvenient to invite guests during the national funeral, so let's drink tea."

"it is good."

The coffin of the Empress Dowager stayed in the palace for seven days and began to go to the imperial mausoleum for the funeral.

During this period of time, except for going back to Lu's house to rest at night, Fanghua stayed in the mourning hall for the rest of the time.

After all, it was a national funeral, the dead were the most important, and she was the Empress Dowager's biological daughter. It was only natural for her to go back to Beijing to mourn the funeral. Even if the courtiers wanted to use her status as a commoner to make a fuss, they couldn't find a reason.

After guarding the spirit for so many days, Fanghua lost a lot of weight, and her mental state was not very good.

The two of them are guilty of crimes and cannot stay in the capital for too long. They have to prepare to return to Ningzhou as soon as the coffin is buried.

These days, the younger sister was exhausted because of the death of her biological mother, and Emperor Guangxi saw it all.

Before leaving, he specially asked Eunuch Cui to invite the family of three to sit in the Qianqing Palace.

All along, Emperor Guangxi didn't have a good impression of Lu Xingzhou, and now that Lord Lu was suspected of killing the Queen Mother, Emperor Guangxi didn't like Lu Xingzhou even more.

But prejudice is prejudice, for the sake of the other party's brother-in-law, the cutscenes that should be done, the face that should be given, Guangxi Emperor has declined.

The purpose of bringing in their husband and wife today is mainly to practice for the family of three. In special times, tea is used instead of wine, and there are vegetarian dishes on the table.

During this period, Emperor Guangxi mentioned the earthquake in Ningzhou last year.

Lu Xingzhou unhurriedly explained the situation at that time in detail.

The news that Emperor Guangxi got in the capital was that it was not too serious.

Five words summed up a rare natural disaster in decades.

Now after listening to Lu Xingzhou's description, I realized that the real situation was far more serious than I imagined, and I was shocked.

Afterwards, Emperor Guangxi turned his gaze to Fanghua, "I also heard that the relief supplies from the imperial court were trapped on the way, and it was Fanghua who spent a lot of money to buy food from the neighboring prefecture to get through those few days."

Fanghua never took this matter to heart, "It is impossible for our husband and wife to sit idly by when the people are in trouble, but the situation was urgent at that time, and we were short of manpower, so we couldn't help with other things, so we had to pay more."

Emperor Guangxi said: "The money can be paid by wealthy businessmen in another place, but not everyone can have your kindness."

Fanghua didn't think too much about it at the time, "I did this to accumulate blessings for Yan Qing. I hope he can continue to work hard, survive the next 27 years, and finally come back safely to reunite with his family."

Emperor Guangxi's voice sounded, "I originally wanted to use your husband and wife's disaster relief to make up for it. I sent you a letter last year. Why did I reject it on the letter?"

Fanghua shook her head, "Brother, you don't need to worry about this matter. Since we and my husband were determined to get rid of the family, we never thought about coming back. Ningzhou is very good, and I am very satisfied with my current life."

Emperor Guangxi couldn't persuade him, so he simply gave up the idea.
