Chapter 42: The Marquis's Adopted Daughter and the Cold Prince 14
Marquis Jingyuan brought the person back directly.
"My name is Xiao Wen Ge, and I'm here to meet the Marquis and all the distinguished guests." Xiao Wen Ge was summoned in, and he bowed to everyone, his whole body emitting the youthful spirit of a young man.
He knew that this was what Marquis Jingyuan appreciated most.
Cha Jiu drank hot tea and watched with interest the funny expressions of Xiao Wen Ge and Shen Chi Su as they pretended not to know each other.
so it is.
He took advantage of the fact that Marquis Jingyuan returned to the capital to pave the way for Xiao Wen's song.
Although she didn't know Xiao Wen Ge, but seeing that he knew he had wounds but still wore a thin white robe and let the blood seep out of the wounds, she knew that this person must be seeking repayment for a favor and had planned it all along.
There are two kinds of people sleeping in the same quilt.
Shen Chi Su is ambitious, and Xiao Wen Ge is not much better.
While no one was paying attention, Cha Jiu whispered in Ning Changting's ear, "Brother Changting, our dynasty has strict requirements for recommending officials to have a clean family background. You must ask clearly."
Ning Changting naturally understood.
Although court officials can recommend officials, they must be extremely cautious, because if something happens to the recommended person, the recommended official will also be punished.
It's okay to make recommendations to repay a favor, but Ning Changting will not let the Marquis' Mansion take risks.
At this time, Marquis Jingyuan asked him for his opinion: "Changting, what do you think of recommending him as the deputy commander of the patrol department?"
When Xiao Wen Ge heard this, he was moved.
The deputy commander of the patrol department is of the seventh rank. Although such an official rank is not high for the recommendation of the Marquis' Mansion, it is easy to make meritorious contributions and get promoted quickly.
If you can successfully suppress a wave of bandits, you will move up a level.
Shen Chi Su was also very satisfied.
Ning Changting asked about his family background: "What is your background? Who are your family members? What do you do? Have you committed any crime?"
Xiao Wen Ge froze, and said stiffly, "I only have my mother, and my family runs the Lanxiang Restaurant. No one has committed a crime."
Hearing about Lanxiang Tower, the women in the Marquis' Mansion seemed to remember something and turned their eyes to Shen Chi Su in the corner.
Shen Chi Su pretended to be calm and blocked everyone's gazes by drinking tea.
Ning Changting asked: "Your mother was born in Lanxianglou. Has she not escaped from her status as a prostitute?"
Xiao Wenge felt as if his face had been ripped off, stepped on and rubbed in front of everyone, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
After listening to this, Ning Changting gave a fair opinion according to the rules of the current officialdom: "Your family background is not clean enough, so you can't be the deputy commander."
Xiao Wen Ge's face turned pale instantly.
At this moment, he felt jealous and hateful.
It's family history again, it's family history again!
These so-called noble families can get everything at their fingertips just by virtue of their birth.
No matter what he does, it is in vain, he cannot escape the fate of an ant!
Jingyuan Hou also felt a little regretful: "With such a background, it is more than enough for you to be a Dali Temple prison guard. Little brother, are you willing?"
What else can Xiao Wenge do?
He could only bow and pretend to be grateful: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord."
Shen Chi Su was a little disappointed.
A prison guard from the Dali Temple doesn't even have a rank.
How long will it take to climb up?
Ning Changting didn't know that he was already hated by others. When Xiao Wenge was about to leave, he took the initiative to give suggestions.
"Mr. Xiao, our dynasty has strict requirements on family background. If you want to have a good future, you might as well go to the battlefield and make military achievements."
Ning Changting's words were sincere, but to Xiao Wenge, they were naked sarcasm.
He sneered at Ning Changting from a place where Marquis Jingyuan couldn't see him: "Hypocritical."
Ning Changting was stunned.
Xiao Wen Ge has gone far away.
Cha Jiu stood beside Ning Changting, laughing and shaking his head: "You fool."
Ning Changting turned around and saw her beautiful smile. The confusion in his heart disappeared completely. He chuckled and said, "Why am I a fool?"
"If Xiao Wen Ge wanted to exchange his military achievements for a better future, he wouldn't still be working as a minor yamen runner at the age of 25," said Cha Jiu.
Ning Changting thought thoughtfully: "So he is not as brave and fearless as he appears. In this case, it seems a little strange that he is willing to sacrifice his life to save his father."
Cha Jiu said no more.
After much selection, Lady Ninghou and the old lady finally decided to hold the wedding on the ninth day of the next month.
Batch after batch of red silk was transported from the shop in Shengjing to the marquis's mansion. All the noble families in the capital knew that Prince Ning, who no one was willing to marry, was finally going to get married.
After finishing his official business, Ning Changting met Han Ping and others on his way out of the palace.
As soon as Han Ping saw her, he bowed and congratulated her: "Prince Ning, congratulations, I didn't expect that after seeing her again, Miss Shen would become your wife."
It’s really touching to say that what I said actually came true.
Ning Changting responded: "Thank you very much. I will send the invitation to your house later."
Han Ping laughed loudly: "Great! Then I'll wait for the wedding banquet."
Accompanying Han Ping was Chen Qu, a colleague who had always been at odds with Ning Changting.
This man is over 40 years old and has been working in the Hanlin Academy for a long time. He is still an unknown editor.
But he was very jealous of Ning Changting, who was transferred out of the Hanlin Academy by the emperor early and now served as the Junior Secretary.
Chen Quhu said in a sinister tone, "Next month I will be accompanying the Minister on a tour southwards, so I am afraid I will not be able to drink at Prince Ning's wedding. I will still wait to drink at Prince Lin'er's full moon wine."
Han Ping and the others looked a little embarrassed.
Who in the capital doesn't know that Ning Changting is childless?
This Chen Qu is really a joke that has nothing to do with anything.
Ning Changting was not annoyed, and his gentle smile was sharp: "Then this prince is also waiting to drink your promotion wine, sir."
Chen Qu was so angry that his beard stood on end.
Han Ping laughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten his back. He patted Ning Changting on the shoulder and said, "You'll have a long wait. Our Master Chen just likes to stay in the position of editor for the rest of his life."
Ning Changting smiled and said nothing more.
As soon as they left the palace, a carriage with the Marquis's emblem stopped beside them. Xiaomei saw Ning Changting and perked up: "Miss, the prince is coming out."
Han Ping couldn't help but envy: "Prince Ning, do you have such a good lady in your mansion? I have one who comes to the palace to pick you up every day regardless of the weather. It's really tender and sweet."
Chen Qu was disdainful. She thought that a woman who was willing to marry Ning Changting was probably not an outstanding one.
I heard that she was just an adopted daughter of humble status.
Maybe he is ugly, rude, stupid and rude.
Thinking of this, Chen Qu felt a little more balanced.
A soft hand stretched out from the edge of the carriage curtain, and waves of sweet and elegant rose scent were carried by the breeze.
Chen Qu was a little dazed.
Smells so good.
As the curtain was drawn open, Cha Jiu's charming and beautiful face appeared in front of everyone, her eyes were like bright stars, her lips were gorgeous, and her smile was gentle, as if the most beautiful flower in the world was slowly blooming.
"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen." Cha Jiu bowed to everyone. His behavior was so elegant and noble that no one could find any fault with it.
"I told you to have a good rest in the Marquis' Mansion, why are you here again?" Ning Changting took the umbrella from Xiaomei's hand and shielded Cha Jiu from the scorching sun.
When Cha Jiu looked at him, the smile on her face became even brighter and more brilliant: "I saw that it was hot at noon and I was afraid of a rainstorm in the afternoon, so I sent a carriage to pick you up."
Chen Qu, who was standing by, was so shocked that he was speechless.
Ning Changting's fiancée is so stunning
