Rebirth of Doting Houmen's Noble Wife

Chapter 231: Candidates for Shangshu (2)
"Um, when I came here, I walked in a hurry, and accidentally fell down, hehe." Wen Jing knelt down, his face turned three points red in an instant, and he said embarrassingly.

"Really? So careless?" the emperor said with some doubts.

"Report to the emperor, the servant dug out Mr. Wen from a pile of old books." The eunuch who went to find Wen Jing sighed softly and said flatly.

"Oh, you went to get those old books again, alas, you." The emperor said helplessly.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, we're not this one. You called me here today, what's the matter?" Wen Jing changed the subject a little bit embarrassed.

People looked at Wen Jing like this, a young bookworm, the emperor will not really let him be the secretary of the household department.

"Oh, Ah Jing, you know that the Minister of the Household Department has made a mistake and has been suspended. Now there is a lack of a Minister of the Household Department. I think your ability should be able to do it easily. How about it?" The emperor straightened his expression , said in a deep voice.

"Me, Hubu Shangshu?" Wen Jing widened his clear phoenix eyes in surprise.

"Your majesty, you know that I love to read books, so how can I be a minister of the household department?" Wen Jing shook his head hurriedly, his face was full of the appearance that you, the emperor, were joking.

"Ah Jing, I'm not joking. Your talent is not too much to make you a prime minister. It's just that you don't like to take care of these trivial matters, and I will follow you. However, the current situation is special, and there is no time to slowly select candidates. I don't want you to be there all the time, but to take this position temporarily," the emperor said softly.

"Although the drought has eased now, the people are still in dire straits. I want you to help these people. After the matter is resolved, you should go do your own thing, how about it?" Discuss tone.

Although this kid said he was very easy-going, he was stubborn to the point of doing what he liked to do. He gave him so many official positions for him to choose from, but he just refused to do it, and he just became a bachelor with no status.

"Interim." Hearing what the emperor said, Wen Jing heaved a sigh of relief, and the tension disappeared in his gentle voice.

"Yes, Ah Jing, I know you don't like these things, but for the sake of the common people, please feel wronged." The emperor said in a deep voice, but looked at Wen Jing expectantly.

Wen Jing sighed lowly. Although he devoted himself to digging into the ancient books every day, he also knew what he should know about the outside world. He also knew the helplessness of the emperor and the powerlessness of the emperor.

"I obey the order." Wen Jing knelt down and thanked him.

"Okay, okay, Ah Jing, start taking office today." The emperor saw that Wen Jing accepted, his eyes were full of joyful smiles.

"Today? No way, Your Majesty, no matter what, you have to give me time to go back and clean up." Wen Jing's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Haha, if it's over sooner, you'll be free sooner," the emperor laughed as if relieved.

"Okay, there is nothing to do today, let's go back to the court." The emperor looked at the ministers below, and he was very happy to see that the main matter of today was resolved.

"Respectfully send off the emperor." The ministers saluted and watched the emperor gradually leave.

Wen Jing frowned, looking at the emperor's back with a look of being deceived.

"Okay, you kid, you're still angry, the emperor let you read so many books, you have to pay back." Prince Duan looked at the young man with some amusement.

"Didn't it be agreed at the beginning, I don't care about the affairs of the court." Wen Jing pursed his lips a little angrily.

"Isn't this a special situation? It's alright. Hurry up and take up your post. The emperor said that if you solve it as soon as possible, you will be relieved. You can go back to read your book. Haha, young man, do your best." Duanqin The prince blinked his eyes, and looked at Wen Jing gloatingly.

Wen Jing gritted his teeth, and he knew that it must be this person who asked the emperor to ask him to be the secretary of the household department, hmph.

Wen Jing looked at the back of Prince Duan who was going away, and sighed deeply.

Lord Zuoxiang and Lord Right are both thoughtful, looking at Wenjing with a touch of coldness in their eyes.

Wen Jing tidied up his not-so-pretty mood, and walked quickly towards the outside of the palace.

Although the drought has eased now, the work of the household department is still the busiest and the most important. Thinking about it, if he wants to solve the problems of the people as soon as possible, he has to eat and live in the household department for a few days. Alas, he should go back first. Let's get some change of clothes.

While thinking about what to do, Wen Jing sat in the carriage and walked slowly towards his mansion.

But, suddenly, the carriage stopped in a quiet alley.

Such a deadly atmosphere made Wen Jing instantly vigilant.

"Master Wen, our master is here to invite you." A cold voice came, Wen Jing lifted the curtain of the car, and saw a dozen men in black, surrounding the carriage.

"This is your master's attitude in inviting people." Wen Jing looked at the dead coachman, and there was a gleam of coldness in his eyes.

"Master Wen, it's better not to do unnecessary things." The leading man in black said coldly.

"I'm a frail scholar, what can I do? If there's anything I need to hurry up, I'm going to take office." Wen Jing threw down the curtain of the car with a bang, and sat calmly in the carriage.

One of the men in black jumped onto the shaft and started to drive the carriage.

"Lord Wen is quite courageous,"

Suddenly, an evil and charming voice sounded in the carriage. It was faint and soft, but it was so unignorable.

Wen Jing turned his head indifferently, and saw that inside the carriage, there was an extra person at some point, it was a young man in a fiery red brocade robe.

"Master Lan came here for the same purpose as those people outside?" Wen Jing instantly recovered his composure, looking at Lan Jingyue with burning eyes, there was no trace of fear on his handsome face.

"Sure enough, he is a smart person, so he guessed that I and the people outside are not in the same group." Lan Jingyue raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of interest and a smile of appreciation at the corner of her mouth.

"Then, can you talk to the smart man you recognize, Xiaohou Lan, why are you here?" Wen Jing smiled lightly, and his words were plain but with a momentum that cannot be ignored.
