Mr. Xiao is still annoyed: "Don't mention that you are already fifteen, there are a lot of girls married on the thirteenth and fourteenth, how can you ask? There is no way!"

Hearing his decisive tone, the old lady cast her eyes back and fainted again. A group of people were in a hurry.Seeing his old wife making such a fuss, Mr. Xiao could only sigh, thinking whether he would have the cheek to ask for the grace of the Queen Mother in two days and postpone the wedding for two years.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Yongjiang was very active, and on the second day, Mrs. Pingnanhou was invited to come to propose marriage and bring the girl Fang Gengtie.The old lady had no choice but to pick it up in person, saying that this matter must be discussed with Xiangguo, please ask Mrs. Pingnan Hou to come back, and there will be a letter within three days.

When Xiao Xiangguo came back from court, he saw his old wife proud and proud, and said with a bit of reserve: "I can't imagine that he values ​​our family's Feiyue so much. He must have heard of Feiyue's reputation for being both talented and beautiful. Baba begged to come."

The old woman became hypocritical when she was old, Xiao Xiangguo frowned and said, "Isn't it a marriage gift? What are you called a bastard? Is it necessary to talk about postponing the wedding date like this?"

The old lady snorted coldly: "Of course... I have to go on and say, I have to stay with such a good granddaughter for two more years."

He was a veteran of several dynasties, and the king and the queen mother had to give him some face, so they agreed to marry after two years.

The Marquis of Yongjiang received the letter and told him directly: "Everything is done according to the old lady's wishes." There was no second word, which made the old lady proud again.

A few days later, the imperial decree issued again, asking Mingran to take the post of Zuo Sanqi's regular servant, and then went to the Ministry of War to follow Shangshu to take care of various matters.There are many honorable families in the six departments who are in vain positions, and it is not uncommon to see no one for three to five months.But Zuo Wenhui was very concerned about this matter, he specially called Mingran to ask him what he meant carefully, gave him detailed instructions, and then personally brought him to the Ministry of War to report.

The two of them walked to the door of the meeting hall of the Ministry of War. Before they could enter, they heard a commotion in the hall, and a teacup was thrown towards Zuo Wenhui's nose.Zuo Wenhui grabbed the teacup with one hand, frowned and said, "What's going on inside?" Pulling Mingran into the room, he heard the wind blowing towards him again. Mingran stretched out his hand and took a huge inkstone with him. Rotate half a circle according to the incoming momentum, and hold it firmly in your hand.

Then I saw teacups, lake pens, inkstones, books, etc. flying back and forth in the air in a large meeting room, mixed with the sound of a few people cursing.A rotten old man in the east pointed to a slender white-faced man in the west and cursed: "If you can't wait, go home and follow Ding You! What's the use of coming here to get angry with me? How many people lined up to ask for positions? Is the position tied to the waist of the master's trousers, and whoever wants it can just give him one?"

The white-faced man snorted coldly: "The lower official has been out of the filial piety period for half a year. What Dou Shilang means is that the lower official's death is not enough for his father, but his mother must be dead to become a lower official? Those who curse their parents have extremely sinister intentions! "

Then "whoosh", another inkstone hit him.The man casually picked up a pen holder to pay back: "Old man! Old thing!"

Zuo Wenhui saw the situation clearly and shouted loudly: "Stop!"

No one cares about him.

Zuo Wenhui turned his head and gave Mingran a wink, Mingran stepped forward, his figure spun around in the hall for a few weeks, he could only see his clothes fluttering, but in a blink of an eye, he caught all the things flying around in the air After coming over, he arranged them neatly on a case, making several sets of the Four Treasures of the Study.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, even Zuo Wenhui was stunned for a moment, and Mingran explained to his eldest cousin: "At the border, they also broke up when they disagreed. General Wang told me that things are expensive, so watch carefully. "

Dou Shilang of the Ministry of War finally turned his attention to Zuo Wenhui. In a blink of an eye, his face changed, and his smile turned into chrysanthemum tea like spring breeze and rain. Yuan Ying, is he a subordinate? Come, sit here, and serve some good tea! This is..."

Zuo Wenhui said: "This is Ming Ran, She's cousin. Today I brought him to the Ministry of War to meet you. From now on, we will all be colleagues. I hope he will take care of you."

Dou Shilang looked at Mingran suspiciously, and then he was even more delighted: "So this is the Marquis of Yongjiang? He is really a young hero, extraordinary! Come here, please."

Mingran sat down with Zuo Wenhui, and through the white smoke of the tea, he saw the white-faced man on the opposite side looking at him, their eyes met, Mingran smiled at him, and gently raised the cup in his hand. cup.The man's face tightened, and he turned his head to look elsewhere.Mingran didn't care, and heard Zuo Wenhui beside him say: "From now on, Xiaoran will be handed over to you. He is young and inexperienced, so please give us your advice. I have a lot of mundane affairs, so I will leave first. "

Amid the sound of everyone sending them off respectfully, Zuo Wenhui left without even looking at the white-faced man, as if he didn't exist at all.

Mingran spent three days in the Ministry of War, and was invited by colleagues from all walks of life to have five drinks, two of which were flower wine.He originally thought that if he could go to Yanhua Academy for drinking wine, he would also take the opportunity to see what his uncle was full of praise for, but it turned out that there were probably too many fireworks alleys in Yunjing, so he didn't have his turn.

As for the rest, Lin Shangshu said that the New Year is just over, and the big guys haven't recovered their hearts, and they will wait for everyone to gather, and discuss it after a lively meal.In fact, the spring is about to open, and scholars from all over the country have already poured into Yunjing in advance, occupying all the inns, big and small, and even the inns outside the city have almost no place to stay.Every spring, there are martial arts, and all martial arts refer to the mediation of the Ministry of War, but the year cannot be over, no matter what, we have to wait until February [-], when the dragon raises its head and eats spring pancakes.So the big guys did the birds and beasts, and then went back to celebrate the New Year.

So Mingran also took care of the housework at home with peace of mind, and suddenly remembered her uncle, so she sealed the 5000 taels of silver note in a wooden box and asked the housekeeper to send it to him.As a result, the steward went there for half a day, and returned the box intact: "Uncle Guo is not at the house. I heard from the person in charge of the house that Uncle Guo has been staying in Yanhua Academy. Do you want to send this thing to me?" Go to Yanhua Academy?"

Mingran said: "Leave it alone, he will come by himself."

Sure enough, Zhong Xu came to the door in the afternoon, and no one was allowed to inform him, so he walked to the study room familiarly, shaking his fan, and rushed over when Ming Ran got the news, just in time for Zhong Xu to be molesting his two big girls, Ming Fuzhu and Mingzhuohua.

The two girls were grinning, not angry at all.Zhong Xu grabbed Ming Zhuohua's hand and refused to let go: "Beauty, if your master doesn't come here again, you can just follow me. I'm missing Yang Yuhuan, and I'm still missing Jiang Caiping. The big show is enough, let your master pretend to be a Persian cat and squat while drooling and licking his paws!"

Ming Zhuohua blushed so brightly that he wanted to pull his hand out: "There are not many Persian cats in Yunjing, but they all have different eyes. My young master's eyes are the same color, and he doesn't look like any of them. Uncle Guo should find someone else. As for singing, the slave has never learned to sing, but has practiced martial arts with the young master for a few years, so he is good at murder and arson. If there is a play dedicated to murder and arson, Uncle Guo will reward the slave for a while. I'm afraid that if I accidentally act it out, the fake show will be done for real."

Zhong Xu let go of his hand immediately, and said angrily, "You bad girl!"

Ming Ran went over and pulled Zhuo Hua behind him, and asked, "Why is uncle here?"

Zhong Xu smiled calmly: "Congratulations to Young Master Ming, and congratulations to Young Master Ming on his happy marriage. But how did I hear that the old lady of the Xiao Mansion fainted in the palace that day, and cried until she went home? In the middle of the night? My good nephew, now the whole city knows about it, look at your notoriety, how many years have you still left your power undiminished. Or did you do something new to offend other girls?"

There are many idlers in Yunjing, and there are more people talking about it. If the guards at the east gate fart, within an hour, the guards at the west gate will be able to smell it.Mingran said: "I'm either at home or in the military department these days. I don't have time to go out and do evil. All the maids and servants can testify. On the contrary, brother-in-law, you are really very witty. You disappeared in a blink of an eye. You made me lose a little girl." Aunt."

Zhong Xu just pretended not to hear, drank a cup of tea from Ming Fuzhu, ate a plate of Western Region grapes from Ming Zhuohua, and finally stretched out a hand to Ming Ran Baba.

Mingran handed the box to Zhong Xu, Zhong Xu opened it, and laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "My nephew is still caring! Xiaoran, your An Lushan..."

Mingran cut him off: "I've already found a candidate for you in An Lushan. The second cousin of the second aunt's family has also accepted. You can discuss it with him later. Uncle, I'll keep my words in mind. It’s not enough for you to ask me, but I only support you for this scene. If you sing well, maybe someone else will support you in the future, so you can continue to sing. If you fail,” he squinted at the clock Xu, staring at Zhong Xu very nervously: "What do you want if I fail in singing? In vain I drag you so much, do you still want to beat me up?"

Mingran said: "I won't beat you up. If I fail you, I won't mention the word "acting". Come and do something else with me obediently."

Zhong Xu said angrily: "How can a nephew still take care of his uncle? You have only been back for a few days, and you have learned from your black-faced big cousin. Why don't you learn from me, a good person who is exquisite, clear and understanding? "

Mingran said: "I'm not evil, I'm still very good to people, especially my own family. I'm just not good to wolves. This time, the more than 500 wolf skins I brought back from the border are all made by myself. Hunting. The joy of life is nothing more than inserting a knife into the belly of a wolf and twisting it hard, listening to its howl, watching the blood spurt out, and the steaming hot air rushing up, take a breath, tsk, So fresh!"

Zhong Xu stood up suddenly and said tremblingly: "Xiao Ran, you pervert, you are not possessed by a hungry wolf, I... I won't talk to you barbarian, let's go, let's go."

He escaped from the study, and suddenly stretched his head back: "You still owe me a harp! You almost forgot about it." He turned back and pulled Mingran's arm and refused to let it go: "We have been rehearsing for many days, and we still don't want to let go. Add your shadow, you will rehearse with me now."

Mingran couldn't be bothered, so she had to turn around and tell Ah Yan, "Get someone to lift up the red sandalwood harp from my anteroom, and follow Uncle Guo."

A group of people rushed out the door, walked through Xieyang Long Street, walked through ordinary alleys, and walked all the way to Qishan Washe. On the way, Mingran asked: "Uncle, I have one more thing to ask. I think Go see the lord's cousin, and talk about a few miscellaneous matters about the Ministry of War. But a few days ago, because the queen mother asked me for a title, I offended him, how can I let him clear up my previous suspicions?"

Zhong Xu was surprised: "Do you remember that you were able to please him when you were young? Why do you ask me again? How can I figure out this kind of family and country affairs? Go ask your wise and martial cousin."

Mingran said: "I had a lot of numbers last year, so I forgot. My eldest cousin is too busy, I'm sorry to bother him all the time, so I can only ask my uncle. My uncle loves me, so please tell me."

Zhong Xu frowned and thought for a moment: "If you want to please the lord, you should please the person on his heart first. What he loves most now is your charming little sister-in-law. February [-] is the birthday of Empress Xiao Xie." , you find a kitty toy to send to the queen, first to make the king happy. I remember that the little queen likes rare and rare fragrant flowers and herbs. Doesn’t your second aunt’s sister Susu like to grow flowers? You can go and see Susu’s there Is there any novelty, rustle is easy to talk, if you like it, grab it directly, she dare not do anything to you. Then you go to the king after a while, don't just talk about your family and country affairs, no one I love to hear it! You might as well talk about something more lively and interesting. By the way, it’s best to try to mention the fact that he took down the old Wu State on the East China Sea by himself. Although the battle was fought by others, he was there There was a shout of 'Go' from the back, but since the lord of the country has personally conscripted, this great achievement must be credited to him, right?"

Mingran nodded: "It makes sense. I will thank my uncle after the matter is completed."

Zhong Xu put his arms around his shoulders: "You're welcome. Whoever we father and son will be with whom!"

In the Qishan tile house in the east of the city, in the deep and thick shadow of plantain and crabapple, the houses with blue tiles and white walls, and a row of red lanterns are faintly shadowed, emitting an ambiguous light.The figures under the light are more ambiguous, and three or five flowery women smiled sweetly: "Hey, it's counted, please come in quickly."

Under the camphor tree opposite Washe, there were two people squatting, one tall and one short, one big and one small, watching the people go in, the short one asked doubtfully: "Boss, where is Washe?"

Gao Zhi said: "Washer, hmph, Washer. That's a place where children can't enter."

The short one said: "The little one managed to find the trace of Young Master Ming for you, why don't you go up and stop him, just squat here and watch the fun. If the boss is too embarrassed to speak up, do you need to go find him and tell him about it?" ?”

Gao's tone turned cold: "Everyone has entered the washhouse, why should I stop him, saying how can we meet people with our clothes? Let him go."

The short one sighed: "Looking at the young master Ming's appearance, he must be the young master of a rich family. Also, our ceremony is too heavy, and we haven't carried it over until now, so what are we going to do to stop him?"

The more he comforted him, the more depressed the tall one would be: "Cut him ass, we didn't come here for him!" He thought about it, but he was a little unwilling: "I said Yi Tan, why don't you find a way to mess around?" Go in and have a look?"

The author has something to say: In fact, the word pervert probably didn’t exist in ancient times, but it was used easily.
