Chapter 289 Asking for an official position
...
Afternoon.
The sun was warm and the wind was calm.
The Liu family didn't know from where that Miss Dong was actually sewing her own wedding dress at home. She
also prepared a lot of dowry.
It was a demon.
After thinking it over, the Liu family still felt that Miss Dong was suitable for their son.
Dong E had grown up with her, she was simple, loved to laugh, and had a good temper. She
was still better than her adopted sister Fairy Liu.
Even though they knew that Fairy Liu's aunt was the Seventh Prince's wife, the Seventh Prince was not well-known now, and was not a strong candidate for the Crown Prince, so it seemed that there was no chance.
He was just an ordinary royal relative.
There were a lot of royal families in the capital.
So they brought Liu Tong to apologize and ask for marriage.
It made Mrs. Dong angry.
The key point was to say that he came to apologize.
As a result, Liu Tong said: I'm sorry, sister Dong, I only have Qingqing in my heart, there is no woman in the world who can compare to her, even if I marry you, I will only have her in my heart.
Mrs. Dong was so angry that she found a stick and hit Liu Tong randomly.
Are you here to apologize?
You are here to express your feelings.
Can't my daughter get married?
You have to marry her, and even if you marry her, you still want to let someone else go.
How dare you be so shameless.
Mrs. Dong was so angry that she scolded the man on the spot.
"My daughter has someone to marry her, who is a hundred times more beautiful and outstanding than you. He is riding a tall horse to marry her. You are not even worthy of carrying his shoes!"
"You are a commoner and nothing. What qualifications do you have? My daughter's husband must be an official. Get out."
She beat and scolded the man and drove him away.
Mrs. Dong's hands were shaking with anger.
Seeing her mother like this, Dong E said a little embarrassedly: "Mother, it seems that the savior is a commoner and has no official position."
Mrs. Dong said angrily: "Your father got in through the back door. Your father has been an official all his life. I don't believe that he can't get an official position if he puts his old face on it and begs for it."
Nanny: ... Master, I don't think you can do it. Forget it, let the master say it himself.
Dong E happily continued to embroider the wedding dress.
...
Afternoon.
The sun is warm and the wind is calm.
It is suitable for drinking tea and chatting.
From time to time, cheerful laughter can be heard in the palace.
Jiang Shangyanyao Shilang knows that there is a limit to applying eye medicine.
After saying those two sentences, he never mentioned Prime Minister Lu again.
Then he started to chat with the emperor.
The emperor asked Jiang Aiqing what he was doing these two days?
People who are not good at chatting may answer that they are working.
Although you have to show that you work hard, it is enough to just show the results.
When the leader asks you this, he wants to talk to you about something different.
If you answer that you are working, then the topic will die.
Jiang Changtian smiled before he answered.
It made the whole room feel like a spring breeze. When
someone laughs, it is really dazzling.
The emperor was stunned for a moment.
Suddenly he felt that Jiang Er looked familiar.
His heart even skipped a few beats.
I don’t know if it is because he just took the elixir.
After he took the elixir recently, his heart would beat strongly.
It was beating so fast that he could feel it himself.
If Mianmian was there, she would tell him that this was palpitations and irregular heartbeat, and that something big was going to happen. It was not that you were going to become an immortal, but that there was a risk of becoming an immortal.
"There may be a happy event at home these two days. My eldest son is still unmarried. It happens that Minister Dong is a good friend of my in-laws. He learned about my eldest son from my in-law, General Meng, and wanted to make peace between the two families. I heard from my in-laws that Minister Dong is also a very good person. My in-laws said that Minister Dong is very good at doing things. Although he speaks in a sweary manner, he always gets things done. Such a young lady sounds very pragmatic. It would be a blessing for my son to marry her."
The emperor doesn't care much about the affairs of his ministers.
But he listens to gossip.
Speaking of Minister Dong, the Minister of Works, he has dealt with him many times.
I remember.
He has a young lady, who was the center of gossip some time ago.
It is said that her fiancé recognized a sister, the Fairy Liu, and then Minister Dong broke off the engagement with his young lady in a rage.
The emperor also doesn't like Minister Liu. He believes in ghosts and gods, but he doesn't like others to believe in them.
When he sees others doing this, he feels like a fool. He feels
a little implied and unhappy.
Miss Dong, whose engagement was broken off, naturally doesn't have a good reputation.
The emperor is a little puzzled as to why Jiang Er is so happy.
"That girl has a bad reputation."
"I am just a small minister with an ordinary background. My reputation is even worse. People outside say more bad things about me. The innocent are innocent. Minister Dong is a rare honest man who can be on good terms with my in-laws. He doesn't mind that my son has no official position and is a commoner. How could I be picky about his girl? I can't thank him enough."
At this time, Eunuch Yan, who was sitting next to the emperor and pouring tea, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, that Feng My brother has acknowledged me as his godfather. He is getting married, and I have nothing to give him. My things were all given by the emperor, and I am reluctant to give them away. Why don’t you reward him with a guard? Lord Dong has done his job diligently and responsibly, so it won’t be a disgrace for his son-in-law to get a reward. It will save people from gossiping about my godfather, saying that he is not as good as the boy from the Liu family. My godfather is at least more useful than a certain biological father. "
Yan Wenxin glared at Minister Jiang after she finished speaking.
The emperor usually forbade people around him to ask for official positions.
But Wenxin had never asked before, and this was the first time she asked.
Moreover, he was going to reward Jiang Er.
But Jiang Er had just arrived and was already the Imperial Secretary, so it was not easy to promote him right away.
If he was to reward him with silver, it was Jiang Er who sent it, so it seemed meaningless.
Hearing Wen Xin say that, it was just right.
It could satisfy Wen Xin's wish.
Wen Xin never wanted to make things difficult for him.
It was just a small guard.
The ranks of guards ranged from the sixth rank to the third rank.
Rewarding a sixth rank sword-carrying guard would not cause any complaints from the ministers.
