Little Li hesitated several times and finally used the excuse of not knowing. At the same time, she kept stealing glances at Ye Zhenzhen, fearing that her lies would be exposed on the spot and she would be unable to step down.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't come here to cause trouble. There was no need to bother the old lady with such troublesome things. She just let her talk nonsense, so she didn't notice her silence, which made the old sect leader Wang Shiren's eyes soften.
The old lady spent most of her time recuperating at home, and it was not surprising that she did not know Ye Zhenzhen's property. However, Wang Shiren had investigated it, so he saw that she had no intention of stirring up trouble, and he was even more satisfied with his grandson-in-law.
Although he came from a humble background, his magnanimity and magnanimity were as good as those of others, barely worthy of his grandson.
Of course, in the past, he could calm down and turn a blind eye to the problem, but now the Wang family's group has to give it a good beating, lest they don't know how to restrain themselves and make the same mistake over and over again, ruining his big business.
The old lady was exhausted, so the family recognition meeting ended soon, and the three members of the Cui family temporarily settled in the Wang family.
Ye Zhenzhen thought that Xiao Li's group would come to make trouble for the "National Beauty" issue, but unexpectedly there was no sound at all. She was so happy that she met Wang Qi and his son who came to pay their respects. A few days later,
, the day has come to set off back to Beijing.
The old lady was accompanied by her daughter and granddaughter-in-law these days, and she was in a cheerful and happy mood. Her ailment was quickly cured, but the day of separation came in a blink of an eye. She held her daughter's hand and refused to let go, reluctant to send her away.
Aunt Cui's eyes were also a little red: "Mom, please take care of yourself. My daughter will come back to see you when she has time."
There was no banquet in the world, but in the end it was the old sect leader who came forward to persuade the wayward old lady to go back. Wang Junshen personally sent the family of three to Beijing.
The reason for being so solemn was that Aunt Cui's dowry was also sent back this time, and it was loaded into more than a dozen cars. Wang Junshen was afraid of being robbed by strong men on the road, so he asked Wang Junshen to take his servants to escort him back.
The Wang family was so famous that ordinary strong men did not dare to provoke them. The journey was peaceful and quiet, and they finally arrived in the capital three days later.
Returning to the prosperous and prosperous capital city from the beautiful land of Qingyuan, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt as if she had left the capital city. It was less than a month since she left the capital city, but it seemed like a long time had passed. Even the crowds of pedestrians on the street made her feel...
She felt a long-lost sense of intimacy.
She is indeed a common person who likes to have fun.
A huge motorcade drove into Jurenfang, attracting neighbors who were watching the excitement. However, the carriage drove directly into the inner house, and they could not see what was inside. There was a lot of discussion and it was very lively.
After the carriage entered the gate, it couldn't pass through. It stopped directly in the front yard. The servants accompanying it quickly got out of the car to unload the goods and piled the dowries in the warehouse. However, the warehouse at home was really not big. One hundred and thirty-two people could carry it.
There was no room for the dowry at all, so in the end we had to open a house in the west wing, which barely had enough space to settle in.
The male servants were carrying the dowry, while the maids and ladies were diligently cleaning the house that had not been occupied for a month. They were so busy that several masters sat in the flower hall that had been cleaned first to rest.
Wang Junshen couldn't help but said: "This house is a bit small after all. I have a four-bed house in Judefang. You can move in there."
Even though there is only one word difference between Judefang and Jurenfang, the location is very different. Judefang is located on the west side of the imperial city. It is a most prestigious area. All the people living there are relatives of the emperor. Wang Junshenneng
There is a house that relies on the heritage of a noble family.
Ye Zhenzhen was a little moved.
It's not Wang Junshen's house, but a suggestion to change the house. In the past, their family of three plus five servants could live in a two-room house, but now the number of servants has expanded to more than 20, plus Aunt Cui.
The dowry makes the house look awkward upon entering.
The most important thing is that the current house is located on Seventh Street. It is really inconvenient for Cui Weizhen to commute to get off work. It would be more convenient if he could find a house near the Yamen.
In the past, if you didn't have enough money, you could only consider Jurenfang. Now you don't need to worry about this problem.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but look at Cui Weizhen, who had a clear understanding with her and said: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, but that house is for you to live in Beijing. It will not be beautiful if we live there. I will ask people to pay attention to whether there is a suitable house."
It’s not too late to buy it and move there.”
Wang Junshen already knew enough about his temperament that he didn't say anything more. He had lunch with the three members of the Cui family before taking his servants to leave - he would stay in Beijing for a few days before returning to his hometown.
Although there was still a surplus from the holiday, Cui Weizhen had no intention of being lazy. He went to the Yamen that afternoon to ask Xuexian Wu to cancel his holiday. Soon Emperor Xuanwu got the news. As soon as Cui Weizhen came out of Wu Xueshi's place, he was summoned to face the saint.
Looking at the degree of favor, meeting the emperor is as easy as drinking water. It is difficult not to be jealous. After all, some junior Hanlins have been in the job for two or three years and do not even have the opportunity to meet the emperor.
Soon, something happened that made them even more jealous. After Cui Weizhen's face-to-face meeting with the Holy Spirit, news came that he had been promoted to the rank of sixth-rank Minister of Household Affairs!
The people from King Ke's faction wanted to bite their teeth after hearing this. They had been working for this position for a long time, but there was no movement. It was vacant for more than a month. It turned out that His Majesty was preparing it for Cui Weizhen.
There are one Shangshu, two ministers, and four ministers in the household department of Da Zhou, who are in charge of the world's land, people, the government of money and valleys, and the difference in tribute. There are four branches: one is called the household department, the second is called Duzhi, and the third is called Jin.
The fourth department is called Cangbu. There are two inspectors in the household department and four people in charge; two people in charge of the Du branch; three people in charge of the gold department; and three people in charge of the warehouse department.
The Secretary-General of the Household Department is a minor official of the Household Registration Department. Although it is not as good as the Duzhi, the Jinbu and the Cangbu are rich and powerful, but it is still the Ministry of Household Affairs. Even the most unprofitable household registration official is more powerful than other marginal officials.
There are enough positions. This is a good job that many people would not be able to get, but it was only given to a fledgling boy.
How long has Cui Weizhen been a member of the Hanlin Academy? Two months? He even took a month's leave, then took a leave of absence and then jumped to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Does he have such an exaggerated promotion record?
If you count on your fingers, this is the official who has been promoted the fastest in history.
What an earth-shattering favor! His father was not so favored back then!
Most people were completely turned into lemons by Cui Weizhen's meteoric rise, while a small number of people carefully studied the emperor's hidden meaning. The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, and finally came to the conclusion that His Majesty was going to take action on household registration.
Let’s think about His Majesty’s actions in the past. He had a zero-tolerance attitude towards hidden tenants, and now he has sent his favorite ministers to the household department. Isn’t it obvious what his intention is?
