I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

"I heard that he was found just now. He learned some medical skills from his adoptive mother's uncle and worked as a doctor outside." Jiao Zuo said cautiously:

"I heard that Feng'an was seriously ill in prison, and Mrs. Jing also helped out, so she had some credit for the rescue."

Yu Jin once heard his aunt mention this matter to his cousin. "It turns out it's her." He thought thoughtfully: "Yetingcheng is a four hundred stone official, right? His family background is quite suitable. Although being a doctor is a lowly profession, Yu Chu really needs such a person to take care of him now. "

Yu Jin muttered to himself, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"But Your Majesty." Jiao Zuo looked embarrassed: "It is also because of this that the old slave and others included Madam Jing in the candidate list. But the ministers of the court have always looked down upon the internal officials. Although Jing Yuan is Although he is an official with an actual teaching of four hundred stones, in the eyes of outsiders, he is not as good as an ordinary Hucao official. I heard that he had previously intended to give his daughter to Cui Jiu as a concubine, but the Cui family rejected it... ..”

"It's a joke." Yu Jin sneered: "The internal and external bureaucracy is one. Anyone who dares to despise it is ignoring the laws of the country. What's more, Mrs. Jing's medical skills are extraordinary. I pointed her out to Yu Chu all for the sake of Xianghou. For the sake of his health. As for Cui Jiu, didn’t he say that he had been paralyzed in bed for many years? If he took a wife and took a concubine, wouldn’t he be doing harm to others? "

When Yu Jin said this, he completely forgot that Yu Chu was in a similar situation at the moment. The almost certain loser who married Mrs. Jing didn't seem to be much better than Cui Jiu.

Naturally, Jiaozuo would not remind him too much.

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that it's settled like this and there's no need to go see other people?"

"I have made up my mind." Yu Jin believed that he had completed Yu Chu's entrustment and was worthy of the more than 200,000 cakes of gold. He felt very relaxed: "I practice literature and martial arts every day, and when I have time, I have to go to court to observe the government. , How can I spend so much time and energy on these trivial things all day long?”

"That's right." He finally ordered: "Ms. Jing's meritorious service in rescuing Marquis Feng'an. Although there is some luck in it, I can't help but reward it. You go and think about what to reward, and pass on what I mean by the way. "Although it is difficult to grant marriage during the national mourning period, it also allows them to be mentally prepared not to do the stupid thing of giving a girl as a concubine again."

Early the next morning, not long after Jing Yuan took up his duties, he heard someone mention that the Chariot General Jin Xin's holy family was extremely noble, far beyond anyone's reach.

The flying thief who came from nowhere first robbed the prison and then broke into the palace. All the residences of the palace residents were searched overnight, causing an uproar and everyone knew it. Even if Jin Xin came to the palace to plead guilty yesterday and found nothing, he was also in the eyes of the palace residents.

Everyone had originally guessed that even if His Majesty cared about his status as the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor and could not bear to deal with him seriously, his trust in him would definitely drop significantly.

In the past, criminals were let loose in jails, but in the latter, they were pursued in vain and returned without success. The former is inaction, the latter is incompetence.

The eunuchs in the palace opened a betting market overnight on how His Majesty would deal with it.

They range from painless fines, shutting up and thinking about one's mistakes, to demotion, seizing titles, and even dismissal and going home, but there is no such thing as a safe passage.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty really exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only was he not embarrassed at all, but his words also contained a sense of comfort.

Not only that, the previous efforts to hunt down the assassins came to a halt because of His Majesty's words.

If we don’t even arrest anyone, how can we hold them accountable?

Jin Xin entered the palace to express his gratitude early in the morning. His whole expression was the same as before, neither proud nor frightened.

This is because he has long since determined that His Majesty will not do anything to him, so he is so fearless.

This kind of holy love that is so rich that it is almost overflowing is probably not as bad as the great General Sima who is at the height of his power.

When he thought that such a person might become his son-in-law, Jing Yuan felt as if a hot coal had been stuffed into his heart, it was hot and red.

Hearing that General Chariot and Cavalry had just left the Chengming Palace, he could no longer sit still and rushed out at a trot. He narrowly missed Jin Xin in front of the Nan Sima Gate.

He calmed down and stepped forward to meet him. Several subordinates around Jin Xin immediately stopped him and glared at him.

Jing Yuan could only stop, put on a smiling face and bowed: "Yeting Cheng Jing Yuan, I have met the general."

"It turns out to be Mr. Jing." Jin Xin signaled his subordinates to step aside, put his hands behind his back and stepped forward: "Your Excellency, there must be something important to stop me at court, but please speak out."

"Actually, it's not that important." Under his gaze, cold sweat broke out on Jing Yuan's forehead and vest. His previous courage was only two or three points left.

But now that the matter was over, he could only bite the bullet and continue speaking as he had just thought:

"I heard that the general intends to continue the relationship." As he said, he secretly glanced at the other party's expression. Seeing that he did not immediately deny it, his voice became more confident:

"I don't dare to deceive the general. When I was outside the palace in my early years, I gave birth to a daughter. The little concubine is really beautiful and beautiful, which is not something ordinary people can support. If the general does not give up, I am willing to recommend her as a pillow."

Jing Yuan stopped here, bowing slightly as usual, waiting uneasily for the other party's reply.

Jin Xin remained silent for a long time, which made Jing Yuan's heart hang higher and tighter. He couldn't help but blame Luo Qianhuai in his heart, blaming her for being too ignorant, otherwise he would have had to go to Chaoyun Guan to see each other that day. At this time, things might have been settled, so there was no need for him to take action personally.

Since ancient times, it has been the tradition to marry a girl with a high head and a wife with a low head. It's a good thing now that he, Jingyuan, is on the pole begging for help.

When his heart was filled with anxiety, he naturally did not see the faint teasing look in Jin Xin's eyes.

"Master Jing came to say these words to Jin today, did your wife know?" Jin Xin finally asked quietly.

"I, I know it." Jing Yuan said without blinking an eye: "My daughter has always admired General Jin's majesty and demeanor, but it was only because he was not close to women in the past that I forced myself to bear it. After learning that you have changed your mind, I changed my mind. I am overjoyed, saying that as long as I can stay with the adults, even if I cannot be a wife, I can still be a concubine. I also love my daughter very much, so..."

"Haha." Jin Xin suddenly laughed in a low voice, interrupting Jing Yuan's lies that were getting smoother and smoother.

Jing Yuan thought that he also meant it, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "General, if you are willing to believe me just once, I will go back and arrange a meeting. Then you can see with your own eyes that my daughter's appearance is indeed true." It is as bright as the moon, and it is a perfect match for you, General."

Jin Xin sighed and looked at him with some pity: "Master Jing probably doesn't understand your daughter well."

Jing Yuan was full of doubts: "What does the general mean by this?"

Jin Xin was too lazy to talk to him any more.

"Jin has official duties, so I won't talk to Mr. Jing anymore. By the way, the so-called renewal of the relationship was completely false. I think Mr. Jing was also affected by misinformation, so I will not pursue it."

After he finished speaking quietly, he walked away under the crowd, leaving Jing Yuan standing there, disappointed and disheartened.
