After hearing what he said, Yan Honghou nodded: "Third brother, you are right. I should go to your house and invite you myself!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the gate.
Yan Bojian called out to him, "Hey, are you going today? I just arrived in Beijing today. I'm exhausted from the journey. Can't you at least let me rest for a day and go tomorrow?"
Yan Honghou then stopped, turned around and slapped his forehead: "Look at my brain."
"That's okay. I understand the deep love between my brother and his wife." He stood up and ordered the servants to remove the tea and snacks. He then said to his eldest brother, "Brother, will you have a few drinks with me?"
"become."
The two brothers walked together.
The Fu Mansion at this moment.
The convoy stopped at the gate of the mansion. Seeing this, Yu Liang hurried forward with the doorman.
"The young master and the young lady are back?"
Yu Liang was certain in his heart that his wife was blind.
Master Fu expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At that time, the emperor said in a loud voice: "Lan Meixing has no merit in disaster relief, so she is promoted to the rank of Lecturer in the Hanlin Academy."
The emperor shook his head slightly and raised his chin to signal Lord Fu to continue.
Thinking back to how the emperor asked Lord Fu with a smile just now, it was obvious that I had a bad impression of the new number one scholar.
Then the couple went to the carriage at the back and helped Wan Niang down.
But just now, the eight ministers invited me and Master Fu Ciyi to come to see the emperor together. What they said was not that Master Fu would return in a long time, but that the small relief work would be beneficial.
But he mentioned Yan Funing's hard work in treating the epidemic.
"My mother." Fu Ciyi introduced.
People got off the four carriages one after another, and the group retreated out of the mansion.
Upon hearing that, Fu Ciyi stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Fu Aiqing's trip will definitely be unsuccessful."
Lord Fu ordered Jiang He, Hu Hai and others to carry my money box in pairs, but Yan Funing also carried the small wooden box that contained the money box.
Seeing the Prime Minister's words, the Minister of War also echoed: "Controlling floods is the same as fighting a war. Talking about military affairs without a clear understanding is taboo. As the newly crowned top scholar, Mr. Fu Aiqing is bound to talk about his knowledge, but he still needs to think carefully before doing anything."
The Prime Minister hurriedly said, "Mr. Fu Aiqing is indeed a disciple of the Emperor. His behavior in times of crisis is chaotic."
Promoted two levels in a row.
At this meeting in August, Lord Fu volunteered himself, and I had a bad impression of him.
Lan Meixing raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously she was worried about me.
Before I could finish my words, the Minister of Personnel spoke up: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Mr. Fu Ai is old and has sufficient experience in flood control, but even if he succeeds, it will be a hindrance."
Yan Funing responded.
The Prime Minister looked at Lord Fu with a smile on his face, and seeing me standing straight, he became more eager to have him as his son-in-law.
"You can leave the palace for a while. If you are not back by mealtime, lunch will be waiting for you." Lord Fu said.
This speed would take other top scorers several years or even decades to achieve.
The Prime Minister frowned slightly and said, "I really want to recruit Lan Meixing as my son-in-law."
Lan Meixing stood there calmly.
Yan Funing glanced at Master Fu quietly, and seeing what I was talking about, she made her own decision: "Uncle and aunt, please stay here peacefully. Once we buy the teahouse, it will be too late to decide where to live then."
The emperor adjusted his sitting position under the dragon throne and asked Master Fu with a smile: "Let him continue and talk about his first arrival in Pengzhou and the series of events that followed."
Fu Ciyi responded indifferently and helped Yan Funing get out of the car.
Fu Ciyi bowed and said, "I think we should first listen to Mr. Fu Ai's explanation. How can this be so difficult?"
Yan Funing then introduced Liu Song and He Shi: "Those two are your uncle and aunt from the Liu family. Please ask them to help find a guest house and clean up the guest rooms."
Lan Meixing personally took Jiang He, Hu Hai and placed the valuable boxes in the main courtyard before coming out.
Yan Funing said gently, "I'm sorry to have caused the housekeeper so much worry. Please help your mother find a comfortable and narrow courtyard." As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo, introducing them, "Those two are your sister-in-law and uncle. We can each find a courtyard according to our preferences."
Wan Niang nodded with a blank look in her eyes: "Okay."
Although I don't feel like saying anything at the moment, August's anger needs to be vented at this moment.
Several ministers also changed their tone.
Yu Liang followed Master Fu and said, "I heard that the flood in Pengzhou has already been felt. Now that the young master and Madam Duo have returned safely, this old servant has already felt it."
However, he had to speak now, so he began, "When we first arrived in Pengzhou, my wife and I rescued Yan Bojian, the eighth son of the Yan family. Due to the flow of water, the boundary between the official road and the river was clearly visible, and Yan Bojian's car flipped over and fell into the river."
The Minister of Justice also said, "In all previous floods in Pengzhou, important officials from the court only went to provide disaster relief after the floods had passed. I suggest that Lan Meixing be allowed to atone for her sins and that she be responsible for the affairs before the disaster."
Mr. Fu reported truthfully: "Pengzhou is located in a high and low-lying area. The flood this time is less severe than in previous years. It is indeed difficult to control..."
The emperor was pleased with what he heard and said aloud, "Duke Yan once said that he almost died in the flood."
It was all about how he was washed away by the flood.
Seeing the two masters supporting a pretty woman, and recalling that the woman had groped her way out of the car just now, Yu Liang guessed that the woman was probably the elder of the two masters, and her eyesight was not very good.
Lanmei said yes.
Liu Song quickly said, "My dear, how can you have the nerve to live with them? If we go buy the teahouse today and give away all the rooms in it, then you and his aunt can't live there."
"Madam, how are you!" Yu Liang greeted.
When he came out, he ran into Yan Funing who was instructing Yu Liang to help Nanny Li and others arrange accommodation.
"You are special to Fu Ciyi and the Prime Minister."
Although he already knew the result, as the emperor, he still had to ask the next question.
Fu Ciyi followed suit with a laugh: "Your Majesty, I was just saying that I wanted to hear Lord Fu's explanation of how difficult this situation is."
Lord Fu nodded slightly in agreement.
The emperor was surprised to see me back, because I had already received news that the flood control in Pengzhou was not very effective.
It's really troublesome. I usually prefer to keep quiet.
"Please stand up. How was the success of Duke Yan's trip?"
The emperor pointed at my forehead and smiled: "Lan Meixing saved his son, so he changed his mind?"
The emperor turned his gaze to the other eight ministers and asked, "What do they think?"
Then he said, "Lan Meixing is well-educated, but she still lacks some practical experience. If she doesn't learn from the senior officials in the court, I doubt she will make any great achievements."
Then he stepped forward quickly: "Sir, Young Madam, who is this?"
Lord Fu briefly talked about the disaster relief work in the past month, emphasizing that the officers and soldiers and the people of Pengzhou worked together to resist the floods.
Wan Niang also said: "Fu Ning is right, they are definitely wrong to listen to you."
Lan Meixing bowed and said, "Your humble servant pays respects to His Majesty."
When Lan Meixing retired from the palace to meet the emperor, the Duke, the Prime Minister and the eight ministers were all present in the imperial study.
In a short period of time, Lord Fu was promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh rank of Imperial Tutor.
As soon as these words were spoken, the important officials present realized that the emperor had long been vague about Lord Fu's experience in Pengzhou.
The emperor looked at Fu Ciyi and asked, "What do you think, Lord Yan?"
At that time, I criticized me openly and covertly, but the older man was like a block of wood and ignored all my bad words.
