Chapter 727: No Conclusion

Three days later in the capital, in the Hanlin Academy, Chang Lian and Rong Chuan have been keeping a particularly low profile these days. Because the Minister of Personnel has not yet been decided in the court, the two of them have attracted special attention.

Rongchuan was still better. There were many people in the room where Chang Lian was. As soon as Chang Lian entered the room, this gaze fell on him.

Master Lu waited for Chang Lian to take his seat, then stepped forward and said, "I heard that there will be results soon, so I would like to congratulate you in advance."

Chang Lian asked in a puzzled tone, "What are you congratulating me for?"

"Congratulations to my uncle on becoming the Minister of Personnel!"

This is really a huge step to success. The hottest topic recently is Lord Zhou's appointment as the Minister of Personnel.

Chang Lian's mouth twitched, "How could I, as a son, not know? Don't make blind guesses, this is nothing."

Shen Yang said with a sour tone, "Chang Lian, don't be so modest. Everyone knows that half of the people support Lord Zhou's appointment as the Minister of Personnel."

Chang Lian was also excited and even wrote a letter to his father. Unfortunately, his father's reply was like a bucket of cold water pouring down his head. There was no hope for this matter. He said lightly: "Mr. Shen, you'd better be more cautious. Don't try to guess the emperor's intentions on this undecided matter."

Shen Yang choked. In the past, he could still compete with Zhou Changlian by relying on his distant relationship. But now that support was gone, Zhou Changlian's father was in full swing. He sat back in his seat silently.

Shen Yang's eyes fell on his empty wallet. His family had been unlucky recently. First, a distant relative got into trouble, and then his family was cheated out of money. His money was tight, and if he couldn't make ends meet, he would have to sell the house in the capital.

Master Lu gave a dry laugh and returned to his seat. He knew that Zhou Changlian was not only talking to Shen Yang, but was also talking to him. He flattered Zhou Changlian, but Zhou Changlian had never had a close relationship with him. He felt depressed when he thought about it.

In Jinzhou, Zhou Shuren's smile was a little stiff. It is said that one should not hit a smiling person. In the past two days, the officials in the yamen had been smiling at him for no reason. He had just started to show his talent, but these people were convinced that he had jumped to the fourth rank.

Wang Ju followed behind him and said, "Among the six ministries, the official positions in the Ministry of Personnel are of high value. I thought that if you entered the Ministry of Personnel, you would be in charge of appointments and dismissals in the future.

The fate of the couple hasn't even started yet, but they're already trying to curry favor with them."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes, the Ministry of Personnel, a place that many people are watching, has two assistant ministers in total, so the value of this assistant minister is even higher."

Wang Ju: "My father said that a conclusion will be reached soon."

Zhou Shuren admired Master Wang very much. Master Wang would speak when he should, and would just be a background when he shouldn't. He was very insightful. Master Wang must have seen that the emperor was laying the groundwork. "Hmm."

Wang Ju stopped and watched Zhou Shuren walk away. His father also said that Zhou Shuren not only had the emperor supporting him, but there were also other people behind him. Zhou Shuren's power was already established. He asked him to respect Zhou Shuren more in the future. His father was old, and when his father retired, he couldn't tell when he would need Zhou Shuren's help.

Wang Ju was very sighing in his heart, Zhou Shuren's pace was so fast, faster than his father and he expected. His father said that even if Zhou Shuren was not in the Ministry of Personnel this time, he would have held an important post. It's incomparable, incomparable. People's careers in officialdom have always been a mystery. Zhou Shuren's career is prosperous!

At Zhou's house, Zhulan greeted Xue as she came in. Xue said, "It's a cool day today, so I came to visit."

Zhulan heard that Xue had come here because of Lord Wang's advice, and wanted to have more contact with the Zhou family while they were still here. Lord Wang couldn't help but have some thoughts, "I was thinking about you!"

"Oh, so I came here by chance?"

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "It's really a coincidence. Wu Yong's elder brother, Wu Ming, now the Wu Tongpan, sent me an expedited letter. I was just thinking of discussing the engagement with you."

Zhulan didn't expect to receive a reply so soon. It can be seen that Wu Ming was afraid that the Zhou family would leave Jinzhou, so he sent it back in an emergency. This letter is worth a lot of money.

Xue was also thinking about this matter. Her husband trusted the character of the Zhou family, but she was afraid. She was not afraid of the Zhou family, but of the Wu family. She heard that because of the commotion over whether Lord Zhou would be appointed as the Minister of Personnel, many families in the Zhou family would marry into the family, and some had set their sights on the Wu brothers!

Xue was now relieved. "It's time to get this marriage done. I'll write to my cousins ​​when I get back and let you know when they reply."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your reply and then ask the matchmaker to come and propose marriage."

Xue's smile deepened, "Okay."

The old man is not young anymore, and he has to bear the consequences as there is no one above him in the Wang family. She and the old man hope that the Zhou family will move as high as possible. Who knows, the old man may even have a chance to go to Beijing!

At noon, in the academy, Mingteng and Mingrui ran away as soon as school was over and hid behind the rockery. Only then did the two brothers breathe a sigh of relief.

Ming Teng ran so fast that he hadn't even caught his breath yet. "It's been a few days. Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise we would have been blocked again."

Mingrui held onto the rockery and said, "That's right. We can't use force at this critical moment."

If it were in the past, it could still be solved, but now is a critical moment for grandpa. The eldest brother and fourth uncle have both told them to behave themselves in the academy and not cause trouble.

Ran Xun also came over with sweat all over his forehead, "I'm the one who's depressed. You guys hide, and they block me."

Ming Teng patted Ran Xun on the shoulder and said, "Who made the three of us stay together all the time?"

Ran Xun sat down on the ground without any image, "I wonder why these people don't go to find Brother Mingyun?"

Ming Teng twitched his lips, "Look at my eldest brother's face and you will understand."

His elder brother's face became increasingly colder, especially recently. There was no expression on his face at all, and he felt very stressed just looking at him!

Mingrui chuckled, he remembered that his elder brother was not like this when he was young, but in recent years, in order to control his younger brothers, and because he was the eldest grandson, he was under a lot of pressure and gradually became like this.

Ran Xun was also quite afraid of Brother Mingyun. "My grandfather told me not to cause any trouble recently. Well, don't bring you two along to cause trouble."

It's so unfair, he has a lot of clever ideas, but Mingteng and Mingrui are no worse than him. Even though Mingteng seems to be the dumbest one, he is not stupid at all when he needs to be smart.

Mingrui let out a long sigh. He felt that his grandfather's going to Beijing was a done deal. "I don't know how the academies in Beijing are like."

Ran Xun was depressed, and then he realized that his friends were gone, so he was the only one left to mess around. However, he should go to Beijing to study. He was nothing in the capital. Looking at his two friends, he could abandon them for a few years for the sake of freedom.

In the afternoon, outside the Hanlin Academy in the capital, Chang Lian and Rong Chuan did not find their own carriage, but saw the carriage of Ning Hou Mansion. Well, the carriage must have been sent back by Ning Hou again.

Chang Lian followed Rongchuan silently. He was already able to get on the carriage calmly. Lord Ning had been coming to pick people up quite frequently recently!
