Chapter 284: Discussing a Marriage
...
The office of the Ministry of Works is not magnificent, but rather has a lot of garbage.
There is a pile here, a pile there, and a pile there.
They are all building materials.
They were reluctant to throw them away.
So it looks a bit messy.
Of course, the gate is very majestic.
The court cannot lose face.
Minister Dong's office is very large. He
enthusiastically asked General Meng to have a detailed chat.
After all, he has become a minister, and he thinks that his vision is still good.
Although he just made a mistake.
But that was an accident. Minister Liu is his subordinate, and the two have been colleagues for many years. Liu Tong has grown up since he was a child. He is not very smart, but he has no major problems. Who can think that he will change when he grows up?
In addition, Minister Dong thinks that he is still good at judging people.
Otherwise, it would not be his turn to sit in the position of minister.
This Meng Qingshe must be a good person. He
is honest and generous, and foolish but wise.
But General Meng may not be so.
If Meng Qingshe is a fancy black-necked snake, it moves quickly, reacts quickly, is good at escaping, has a gentle personality, looks scary, but actually does not bite people. It will only bite people when it is overly frightened or forced to do so.
General Meng is "Ba", also known as five-step snake, seven-step snake, hundred-step snake, and sharp-nosed pit viper. There is no need to explain the name. It will bite people, very fierce, and can bite people to death.
General Meng is not a good snake.
If Meng Qingshe can be satisfied, it means that the other party is at least a kind person.
If General Meng can be satisfied, it means that the other party is a smart person.
If he is both kind and smart, then who is it if not his relative?
Minister Dong asked about it seriously.
"My in-laws, son? Yes. Brother Feng is honest and loyal, and has good martial arts skills. He gets up early every day to practice martial arts with my son, regardless of the seasons, and works very hard. My son said that Brother Feng is very knowledgeable, and if it weren't for... he would definitely pass the imperial examination. Just look at my in-laws and you will know how smart he is."
Minister Dong pulled Lao Meng to sit down and poured him tea.
Let's talk in detail.
He took out a bag of dried meat from the drawer.
He handed a piece to Lao Meng.
Lao Meng is an honest person and will definitely not lie.
Even though he is too straightforward, he will not beat around the bush. You have to carefully analyze the specific situation from his words.
I won't do my official duties anymore.
Minister Dong talked to Meng Qingshe for a whole morning.
Meng Qingshe was a little dizzy.
How can this old Dong be so talkative? He
is just like the grandpa and grandma who help their children to find a date in the park.
They talk about everything, and
their imaginations run wild. After the chat, it was noon, and he wanted to treat Lao Meng to a meal.
Lao Meng insisted on going home to eat.
The food at home is delicious.
He showed off again.
Minister Dong didn't spend any money.
He let the person go.
He carefully analyzed the content of what Lao Meng said, leaving out the messy things and leaving the main content.
The conditions of the Jiang family should be okay. Meng Qingshe's daughter-in-law has a very rich dowry, but it is not obvious on the face. The Jiang family is very low-key. (If you have money, you will not be poor after marrying in. You are low-key, not easy to be killed, and it will not be easy to get into trouble.)
The mistress of the Jiang family has a good personality, because his daughter-in-law is a bit naive and carefree. If you don't really love your child, you can't teach her to have such a personality. (Mother-in-law has a good personality and is easy to get along with.)
Jiang Feng is both civil and military, but he had an injury on his forehead. His appearance should be very good. Meng Qingshe has said several times that he is handsome. (Being injured is not a bad thing. If he were perfect, he would have been someone else's husband long ago. He has some flaws. Maybe it is because of these flaws that he has been kept until now.)
Jiang Feng has a good personality, loves his sister, is extremely patient with people, is very lively, and loves to laugh, but is a little honest and simple. (Looking at Minister Jiang, saying that he has no mind is to be studied, but Minister Jiang is a person who is full of mind, so the child does not need too many minds.)
Jiang Feng has no bad habits, and he spends all his time studying. The family education is very strict. The Jiang family has no concubines and no messy people. (This is very good. The family tradition is good. The young lady will not be wronged in the future.)
They talked for a long time.
Minister Dong was very anxious now.
The young lady's wedding dress had been embroidered.
The groom had to come.
He was also a decisive person and was going to contact Minister Jiang again.
After all, Old Meng's IQ was fluctuating and it was hard to predict.
After dinner, Minister Dong went to the main yamen.
The Huangmen Minister usually had to enter the palace. If he didn't enter the palace, he would wait outside.
When Minister Dong came over, Minister Jiang really didn't enter the palace.
At the signal of Prime Minister Lu, Minister Jiang was squeezed out.
He was alone in the office.
There was no work for him to do.
He didn't care. He
was not afraid of being squeezed out.
They want him to work so hard for such a small salary, why not take a rest?
Minister Jiang is very open-minded.
In the past few days, he has seen the results of the battle sent by his old father-in-law from time to time.
He also hired an accountant to help count.
Of course, it is not easy for outsiders to come in.
Jiang Changtian chose a colleague who was waiting for election at the same time.
The colleague was poor and could not even afford to rent a house. He went to visit Jiang Changtian and Jiang Changtian sponsored him with a sum of money.
But he is generally not a good person.
The money given out must have equivalent benefits, and it cannot be given for free.
You gave it for free once, will you give it for free the second time? You gave it the second time, will you give it the third time?
If you don’t give it the first time, you are not a good person.
So Jiang Changtian invited the colleague to help keep the accounts and return his salary. (When paying, deduct the money he gave away. The main point is that even if they are not brothers, they still have to settle accounts clearly.)
The colleague was also very grateful.
This is a decent job, which is done for the emperor. Obviously, Brother Jiang can do it himself. Brother Jiang has been doing it all morning. However, in order to understand his urgent need, he was forced to do it. Not only was he paid, but he also had the opportunity to show his face.
This is for the emperor and Prime Minister Lu. If he does a good job, there will always be a chance to win praise.
So his colleague Chen Jiujiu was very grateful and calculated very seriously and conscientiously, and did not stop to rest even at lunch.
He continued to calculate while dealing with the couple in a mess.
There was too much money.
It kept coming in.
Divide it into three parts.
It had to be recorded one by one, and the accounts had to be clear.
So when Minister Dong came over, Minister Jiang was reading a book seriously.
The afternoon sun was already slanting.
It passed through the window into the room.
Minister Jiang was wearing a navy blue official robe, with long hair draped over his shoulders. He was leaning on a chair and reading a book. He was not sitting very straight, and looked a little lazy.
There were tea and snacks on the table.
The tea set did not seem to be from the government office, and he should have brought it himself.
The big teacup had a hole for tea, and the design was very special.
There was also a bag of hot water in his arms, and there was a fire bucket under the table.
Other rooms are cold and uncomfortable.
But Minister Jiang feels comfortable when he enters this room.
When he saw the visitor, Minister Jiang stood up and greeted him politely.
They stood face to face.
Old Dong couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, so handsome!
This relative is really a handsome man!
Even if his son doesn't look like his father, his appearance would be good enough if it was half of his.
Minister Dong knew a little about his own daughter.
His own daughter likes beautiful ones.
The boy from the Liu family is just okay in appearance, but the daughter tolerates a lot of other problems.
But he can't compare with the relative in front of her, not even worthy of carrying shoes.
Minister Dong had a warm face, a loud voice, and an almost flattering smile.
Jiang Changtian was a little confused.
He remembered this man. He took a quick look at the people in the court, and he wrote down all the details given to him by Brother Ye Hang.
The man in front of him was Minister Dong of the Ministry of Works. It was said that he was upright and capable, and was a useful talent.
Minister Jiang greeted him warmly.
I wonder if Minister Dong has any advice for you.
Leaders of this level would not come to ask for answers.
Jiang Changtian was quite self-aware. Everyone was doing it for Prime Minister Lu's sake, and it had nothing to do with him.
Minister Dong sat down and chatted happily.
Apart from other things, just seeing Minister Jiang's appearance made people feel happy.
It was pleasing to the eyes.
It was said that Meng Qingshe's daughter-in-law was as beautiful as Daji, but it seemed to be groundless.
With father's appearance, how could his daughter not be pretty?
Meng Qingshe really took advantage of him. The two grandsons must be good-looking.
Minister Dong did not beat around the bush.
He sat in front of Minister Jiang and said, "I heard from Lord Meng that your eldest son is still unmarried. I wonder if he has someone he likes. If not, I am willing to be a matchmaker and help him find someone."
Jiang Changtian understood immediately.
It was not like she had chatted with Meng Qingshe all morning until her mouth was dry. Meng Qingshe still didn't understand why Old Dong was so enthusiastic today.
"No, my son has never had a crush on anyone. If Lord Dong can help me find someone, that would be great. I wonder which girl she is. I will have my wife visit her tomorrow."
Minister Dong was even more satisfied when he saw Minister Jiang. Not only was he good-looking, but every detail about him showed that he was living a good life. His hair was neat and tidy, his cuffs were new, his collar was crisp, the house was well decorated, he had comfortable food and drink, his shoes were clean, he had hand warmers and a hot water bottle, and all these details showed that his family was in a good condition and he had a virtuous wife.
For this reason, his daughter would definitely live a good life if she married into the family.
Minister Dong slapped the table and said without blushing, "There is a good girl at home."
