"Go back to the courtyard and wait until Zhijie comes back to decide everything. Don't have any thoughts. It's best not to go out and don't cause trouble."

Zhu Hu suddenly became very polite to Ning Tong.

Zhu Lin couldn't understand this kind of politeness.

Ning Tong gritted his teeth and said, "I am no longer a member of Duke Cheng's mansion, and I don't want to live here."

Zhu Hu said: "Don't push yourself too far."

Ning Tong thought for a while and finally endured it.

It was rare that Mrs. Cheng Guo was no longer so critical of her, and her attitude towards her leaving the Cheng Guo Duke's mansion had also softened. There was no point in continuing to argue.

…

…

After Ning Tong left the back hall.

Zhu Lin said: "Grandma, don't you think that because she is the one Zhang Bingkuan likes, that's why..."

"He looks less and less like a big brother!" Mrs. Zhu Hu taught her eldest grandson a lesson, and she was not polite at all. "Just take good care of your wife. Don't worry about the second wife."

Zhu Lin actually understood it.

Now Zhu Hu felt that Ning Tong's "backer" was Zhang Zhou. To put it bluntly, maybe Ning Tong's "concubine" was Zhang Zhou, so Zhu Hu didn't dare to mess with her, so she changed her attitude.

Zhu Hu said: "No one is allowed to talk about this matter to the outside world. Just say that the Duke of Chengguo doesn't like this girl and wants to marry a famous lady. This is our own business. Who can ask outsiders...

It’s just that I can’t get along with Duke Chengguo’s office.”

"hehe."

Zhu Lin is smiling.

Your grandson might think that a title is like riding a rocket, but what kind of material does he have... Does he really think that everyone else is a fool?

"Why are you laughing?" Mrs. Zhu Hu glared at her eldest grandson again.

Zhu Lin said: "Grandma, if you want Zhang Bingkuan to appreciate your kindness, you should send him out now, preferably... over there."

Zhu Hu said angrily: "There will be a lot of guests coming to the Chengguo Palace recently, so please take care of them! I still have to preside over ancestor worship!"

Zhu Lin originally wanted to say that if you, my eldest grandson, are asked to worship ancestors, even if you are the dowager, you are not qualified to host it.

But looking at this posture... Zhu Lin knew that the current situation in Duke Chengguo's mansion was completely dominated by yin and yang, so how could he have the right to intervene?

…

…

At Zhang Zhou's house.

An "employee welfare meeting" is taking place at this time.

The most "capable" generals under Zhang Zhou are Zhang's employee No. 001 Liu Gui, and Zhang Zhou's employee No. 002 Jia Laoshui in the capital. If nothing goes wrong, they will receive Zhang Zhou's reward.

There is a real shortage of positions for hundreds of Jinyiwei households.

In fact, Zhang Zhou also has plans to keep these positions for now. Recently, he has been working hard to have a son so that he can inherit them.

But the emperor also made it clear that these positions were mainly given to those who protect him. The position of Jinyi Guard Qianhu was left to Sun Shangqi. It means that Zhang Zhou did not break the trust between the emperor and his ministers. As for Baihu... that is not him.

Give it to whomever you want?

If Zhang Ye and Zhang Ping had not caused trouble, Zhang Zhou might have considered cheating the brothers again. The blood relationship between the brothers in the Ming Dynasty clan was still very close.

"Stretched tendons", of course this is the opinion of ordinary people... Zhang Ye and his son are basically out of business as royal guards because of the bad behavior of the Zhang family.

"Sir's kindness will never be forgotten despite his humble position."

When Zhang Zhou returned home, Sun Shangqi had already met Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and learned that Zhang Zhou had recommended him to become a member of the Jinyi Guards Qianhu.

The profession of Jinyiwei is very complicated. Sun Shangqi knew very well that if Zhang Zhou didn't appreciate him in this life, let alone Qianhu, even if he was the deputy of Qianhu in Jinyiwei, he would have no chance in this life.

So when he came to Zhang's Mansion to thank Zhang Zhou, he always knelt down and spoke.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "Sun Qianhu is too polite. Using you is not only the intention of His Majesty, but also the intention of Eunuch Dai and Eunuch Xiao, as well as Commander Mou... They all think highly of you, but you may not have any other good jobs."

, you have to continue working hard here, so don’t complain."

"How dare you humble your position? In this life, your words come first." Sun Shangqi showed his loyalty when he came up.

Zhang Zhou said: "That's wrong. We are all working for His Majesty. You directly take orders from the Commander of the Jinyi Guards or the Duke of Dongchang. I am not qualified to dispatch you. At most, it is follow-up and follow-up, and more.

Please take good care of me."

"I will never give up my humble position even to the death!"

Sun Shangqi changed his statement.

Zhang Zhou nodded.

If you say that you will not give up even if you die, it seems to be reasonable.

It's just words, so there's no need to worry about it so much.

…

…

Zhang Zhou first sent someone to tell Jia Laoshui and Liu Gui to wait in the yard.

And he took the good news of his "promotion" to his backyard and informed his women.

"Commander of the Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army Governor's Mansion...Master, what kind of official is this?" Jiang Pingyu found that it seemed difficult to learn something she wanted to learn.

I have just figured out what the difference is between a thousand households of Jinyiwei and an ordinary thousand households, and I have just learned what a salary officer is, and now I have to learn from Tongzhi, the governor of the rear army governor's mansion... Didn't I agree to work as a historian in the Hanlin Academy in the future?

Is that right? Isn’t that a book-editing job?

Zhang Zhou looked at Wang Mingshan on the side and said: "I am the Governor of the Governor's Mansion, but from the first-level official position, generally speaking, only the third-level Duke, Hou Bo, etc. can take over this position. However, my position is a false one, which is equivalent to a salary. I can still pass it on in the future."

Yes, this position... may be inherited by the boss."

Jiang Pingyu's eyes widened and she said, "Isn't Xiaojun going to be the guard of thousands of households?"

"That's all in the past tense. His Majesty gave me a position as a royal guard. This position is a fourth-grade official. I will leave it to your child, Qing'er."

"I? Slave... I can't do it."

Han Qing was also a little confused.

I'm not a legitimate wife, not even a common wife in name, and I don't have any background. How can I become a fourth-rank royal guard commanding the generals?

And I don’t have a son either.

My daughter shouldn’t be able to inherit this position, right?

"Work hard, Qing'er." Zhang Zhou smiled.

Han Qing's face turned red.

Zhang Zhou looked at what looked like a blank piece of paper aside... Of course, now that the white paper had been scrawled by him, a scholar, it was no longer so white. Even if Wang Mingshan didn't understand the things in the room, he could still explain them.

She cultivated it.

"As for Mingshan, the position of Deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei will be given to you." Zhang Zhou said, "There has never been a female Jinyiwei in Ming Dynasty, and you may be the first."

Wang Mingshan thought for a while, then shook her head, completely confused.

Jiang Pingyu said: "Is it also a post-remuneration official?"

"No, this is a real job, and the purpose of this position is to protect me. Mingshan usually follows me, wearing a flying fish suit and carrying an embroidered spring knife, so that no one else can recognize her.

Is it a boy or a girl? When Mingshan has a son, this position will be given to you..."

Before Zhang Zhou rewarded his employees, he first rewarded the three women in his backyard.

The principal room will have a first-rank imperial guard from the rear military governor's office, Tongzhi, the second room will have a fourth-level Jinyiwei to command the general affairs, and the third room will have a Jinyiwei to serve as deputy to the Qianhu household.

Although many things are still ideal, Zhang Zhou's current status is extraordinary. As long as he brings it up, even the emperor will cooperate, let alone Xiao Jing and Mou Bin.

"Master, the boys have gathered outside and are waiting for you to lecture them!" Liu Gui's voice came from outside.

Zhang Zhou said: "Wait."

Zhang Zhou originally wanted to get acquainted with his third wife in broad daylight. After being rewarded with the position, he should get something back, right?

Liu Gui is just looking for trouble.

However, some positions have not yet been obtained directly, so Zhang Zhou is not in a hurry to ask for "interest".

"I'll take care of you later." Zhang Zhou smiled and went out.

…

…

Zhang Zhou's backyard became lively.

Because not only did she have an official position, but she also received a large number of rewards, and that posture... Han Qing was especially excited. She came from a poor background and valued external things the most. Wang Mingshan had no idea about gold, silver and jewelry. As for Jiang Ping
