Qing Jialu

At the beginning of May in the fifth year of Qingjia, two major events happened.First, the emperor decreed to promote Han Chang as the chief assistant of the cabinet.This will was unexpected, but also within reason.After the announcement of the new chief assistant, except for Han Chang himself who claimed that he was not capable enough, no other officials objected.Xiao Yi rejected Han Chang's proposal three times, and he had no choice but to accept the position of chief assistant.

The second thing is a private matter.Du Huan's parents agreed to the marriage, and the two parties began to go through the process.On the man's side, Du Huan's parents came to the capital in person to arrange the marriage for their son.For the woman's side, Shen Jia was in charge of the outside, and Mu Mian was in charge of the inside. The two were busy preparing the dowry for Mu Jin.

In order to prepare for his son's wedding, Du Huan's father bought him the previously rented courtyard house. When he married a bride in the future, he would get married in the capital and stay here for a long time.

Shen Jia was very envious when she learned about it, and said sourly to Xiao Yi: "Sure enough, he is a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River, spending a lot of money. I have been an official for many years, but I still haven't saved enough money to buy a yard in the capital."

Xiao Yi glanced at him lightly, "You want to buy a house? It's easy."

Hearing these words, Shen Jia instantly regained her spirits.He thought in his heart that it would not be true as Wei Zhen's envoy guessed, he would give me the mansion, right?

As a result, what Xiao Yi said was, "I can lend you money without interest, and it will be directly deducted from your salary in the future."

Shen Jia: "..."

Seeing Shen Jia's cute and cute face, Xiao Yi couldn't help teasing him, "Of course, you can still come and stay in the palace, and I won't charge the room fee."

"Why are you so...stingy." Shen Jia couldn't help complaining, "You should say: 'Which mansion in the capital are you looking at, I will buy it for you.'"

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "You think too much, I don't have much internal money, and I will be criticized by civil officials for embezzling the treasury. Mr. Shen Ge, you must not forget that when the palace was built for King Kui, Did you have a fight in Chaoshang?"

Shen Jia blushed slightly, "He...he asked for too much money, and I'm not greedy. Besides, I handed over the previous courtyard house to the owner, and now I'm homeless."

Xiao Yi had heard Jin Yiwei report this matter a long time ago, and he comforted him: "You live in Xiyuan, let me see who dares to visit you and scold you."

"It's okay to stay for a few days, but if things go on like this, I'm afraid..." Shen Jia didn't continue, he was worried that his colleagues would see something.

After all, if he stayed in Xiyuan every day, he would be bumped into sooner or later.

"What are you afraid of, are you scared?" Xiao Yi taunted him, "I can't live with love, if you are afraid, go back to your cabinet office."

"No, no, no, why would I be afraid?" Shen Jia didn't want to go back to the small valet room again, he managed to live in Yuxi Palace, how could he leave in a cowardly manner?

Xiao Yi's words dispelled Shen Jia's worries.

The man's side is actively preparing, and the woman's side also has to prepare.Xiao Yi specifically allowed Mu Mian to leave the palace at any time, and prepared a dowry for Mu Jin together with Shen Jia.The Du family is a wealthy family, and Mu Jin's dowry should not be too shabby.In addition to some royal objects that Xiao Yi rewarded, Kapok also wanted to buy a set of jewelry for his sister at his own expense, as a way of expressing his affection.

So Shen Jia and Mu Jin went out of the palace to look for jewelry shops, they visited several shops, but they didn't like it.Shen Jia thought for a while, and said to Kapok: "I remember that the jade hairpin that Mr. Du gave to Miss Mujin is pretty good. It seems to be carved by a master in Hangzhou. If we can't find it in the capital, why don't we go to Jiangnan to look for it?"

"It's just coming and going, not for a month or two?" Mu Mian worried that there would be too little time.

Shen Jia made the calculations and said: "Apart from the jewelry, we also need to prepare the treasure barrel of the three treasures for the dowry. These things will take more than a month to prepare, and the jewelry will be ready by then."

"Then do as Shen Ge said." Mu Mian smiled, "Our sisters really don't understand the matter of folk marriage, thanks to you."

"Where did you come from?" Shen Jia waved her hand and said modestly, "I only know a little bit. If the girl agrees, I'll go and ask Du Huan where I hired the master sculptor from."

"Very good, then please ask Shen Ge to get old." After Mu Mian finished speaking, she said goodbye to Shen Jia and went back to the palace first.

When Shen Jia went to Du's residence, Dr. Fan happened to be there.This was the first time he came to Du Huan's new home. He visited the garden with Du Huan and Dr. Fan for half a day.After reading it, Shen Jia was shocked by the layout of the house, and when she thought about being homeless now, she felt even more sour.

Seeing Shen Jia's sad face, Du Huan said in surprise: "Brother Shen, what are you dissatisfied with, can I change it?"

"It's already very good." Shen Jia came back to her senses, "I really envy Brother Du, who can afford a house in the capital."

"Hey!" Doctor Fan, who was also homeless, let out a sigh.

"..." Du Huan couldn't understand the sadness of the two of them at all, so he could only smile awkwardly, "What's mine is also yours, so everyone can come and play often in the future. Come and talk in the room."

The three moved into the main hall, Shen Jia looked around, "Is your father here?"

"My father has something to go out." Du Huan explained, "Just in time, give the three of us some time to talk about ourselves."

During these days, Du Huan was busy preparing for the wedding, and hadn't had a private drink and chat with Shen Jia and Dr. Fan for a long time.

As for Shen Jia, she was criticized by her colleagues every day, and she didn't have time to go out of the palace to get together with her friends.

"Alright, I don't have anything else to do today except to ask about the hairpin." Shen Jia suggested, "Why don't we have a drink?"

"Okay, brother Shen understands me, and that's exactly what I mean." Du Huan said to the two of them, "Brother Shen, don't worry, I've given the jewelry making package to me, and it will never delay things."

Doctor Fan laughed beside him and said, "Changqing, you are so lazy, how can you ask the groom to prepare the dowry for the bride?"

"Nonsense, our natal family paid for it." Shen Jia said grandly, "Brother Du, don't feel sorry for the money, let the master make the best pair."

"It's easy to say." Du Huan came over with a wine glass and jug, "I wanted to ask Brother Chen to help me, but I didn't expect you to become a family member."

Dr. Fan glanced wildly, pretending that he didn't understand anything.

Shen Jia suddenly understood, and he asked embarrassedly: "Brother Du, do you know?"

"I see, it's Fan..."

"Cough cough cough..." Doctor Fan coughed wildly, trying to cover it up.

Shen Jia was extremely helpless, he said angrily: "I can guess it, you have a big mouth."

"They're all from our own family, so there's nothing we can't say." Doctor Fan laughed, "Besides, Brother Du won't say anything, right?"

"Brother Shen, don't worry, I will never reveal it." Du Huan raised his hand to promise.

"Of course I believe in Brother Du." Shen Jia said, "If you know it, you will know it."

Du Huan smiled, and asked Shen Jia mysteriously: "Well, I want to ask you a few questions, I don't know... Should I speak?"

"If you want to ask, just ask." Shen Jia said that she was frank and frank, and had nothing to hide.
