Soon, two footsteps approached, and waves of fragrance came over.
"He seems to be too seriously injured. He might not be able to wake up until tomorrow. Zhiying, I'll sleep with you tonight." The heroic woman's voice rang in my ears.
The gentle woman said: "I think this young master should wake up soon. If you call him twice, he might wake up."
Su Dingjie was startled, suspecting that the woman had noticed that he was pretending to sleep. Just as he was hesitating whether to open his eyes or not, a cold hand suddenly patted his face.
"Hey, wake up!" the heroic woman said loudly.
Su Dingjie thought to himself: "This woman is really uneducated." He slowly opened his eyes and saw a handsome and handsome woman with good features standing on the left side of the bed. When he turned his eyes to the right, his eyes straightened.
It was a woman wearing a light blue dress. She had a slender figure, skin like snow, a beautiful nose and cherry lips, and picturesque eyebrows. Her long hair fell down to her back and was held up with a blue ribbon.
There was a bit of concern, but after seeing Su Ding's show, he tilted his head, and there was a bit of embarrassment between his brows.
Su Dingjie composed himself, and with difficulty he raised his hands and said, "My lord, Su Dingjie, thank you two girls for saving me."
The face of the woman in blue changed slightly. After taking a closer look at him, she asked, "Is the young master from the British Duke's family?"
Su Dingjie's face turned pale and he said: "To be honest, Su Dingfang, Duke of Xing, is my grandfather. I still don't know where this place is? What do you call the two girls?"
The woman in white put her hands on her hands and said with a smile: "So you are Su Dingfang's grandson. My name is Xue Yujin, and my father is Pingyang County Duke Xue Rengui. You should have heard of it."
Su Dingjie was surprised and said: "It turns out that she is the daughter of General Xue from "Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain". Su is rude!" He thought to himself: "This woman is really uneducated, she dared to call my grandfather by his name."
Xue Yujin added: "This is Li Zhiying, the granddaughter of the British company Li Sikong, and this is the British government house!"
Su Dingjie eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, and had already guessed this part. He held out his hands to the woman in blue and said, "Miss Li, I have something to ask the British father, please help me pass it on!"
"What do you want from your grandfather?" Li Zhiying asked curiously.
Su Dingjie's face showed a look of sorrow, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Our Su family has been framed for rebellion. I only hope that the British father-in-law can remember the love he had with his grandfather in the past and offer advice and help to Your Majesty and the Queen!"
Xue Yujin was surprised and said: "No way, why haven't I heard my brother mention it?"
Su Dingjie whispered: "My whole family was arrested, but I was the only one to escape. I went straight to Chang'an non-stop, maybe one step faster than Guanyi."
Li Zhiying thought for a moment and wondered: "Why did you just say that the whole family was arrested? Duke Xing is the governor of Yingzhou and the general of You Xiaowei. Who dares to arrest him?"
Su Dingjie gritted his teeth and said: "There was a traitor under my grandfather. He joined forces with Qian Jiude, the governor of Yingzhou, Pang Xiaotai, the deputy governor of Yingzhou, and Zheng Rentai, the governor of Youzhou, to attack my grandfather. My grandfather did not want the Tang army to kill each other, so he
I didn't resist and was imprisoned in the prison of Yingzhou Governor's Mansion. Qian Jiude sent people to surround the Governor's Mansion and arrest my whole family."
Both women were frightened, and Xue Yujin hurriedly asked: "You said someone framed you for treason, could you be referring to these four people?"
Su Dingjie lowered his head and said: "This matter is a bit complicated and difficult to explain in one sentence. Please ask Miss Li to allow me to meet the British father. Su Dingjie is very grateful!"
Xue Yujin said angrily: "If you don't explain clearly, why should we let you see Grandpa Li?"
Li Zhiying smiled and said: "Yu Jin, please entertain Mr. Su for me, and I'll go see my grandfather."
"Is everything he said true?" Xue Yujin asked in surprise.
"It's true." Li Zhiying said softly.
Xue Yujin nodded, turned around and left the room.
Li Zhiying inherited Li Ji's medical skills and practiced medicine in the four major ways of seeing, hearing, observing and cutting. She was best at "looking", not only able to see the health status of others, but also good at judging whether the other person was lying through their facial expressions.
Therefore, Xue Yujin always believed in her judgment.
…
At midnight the next day, while Wu Chengsi was still sleeping, he heard Qiu Chan's low voice calling: "Master, Master, get up quickly!"
Wu Chengsi turned over and pointed his butt towards the voice.
"My lord, the Queen has sent us an edict. Please get up quickly and receive it!" Qiu Chan said again.
After a while, Wu Chengsi slowly sat up, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Do you know what the order is?"
"I heard from the female official who passed the order that something good is going to happen!"
Wu Chengsi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "I know, it must be the gold medal. Please help me change my clothes quickly."
After dressing up, Wu Chengsi came to the lobby. The person delivering the order was Xie Yaohuan. She treated Wu Chengsi with a lot of respect and asked, "How is your father-in-law?" before reading out the order.
Just listen to her say:
"Under the disciples: Duke Wu Chengsi of the Zhou Dynasty was virtuous and restored etiquette. He was filial and generous to his friends, gentle and solemn. He practiced the principles of being a gentleman of the mean and a poor virtuous man. He promoted him to be a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, selected talented people, and compiled literature and history. The Lord will execute it.”
Wu Chengsi kowtowed and said: "I obey the decree!" He pondered the decree in his heart.
In the whole decree, the word "Jian" is the most critical, which means that he was not only promoted to the third rank of Hanlin Academy, but also the fourth rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
It seems that Wu Mei looked calm and calm about the proposal yesterday, but she was not sure why she was so happy, otherwise she would not have rewarded him with such a big official position!
"Master, this is what I asked you to give to you!" Xie Yaohuan handed over a tray, which was covered with yellow silk. When he opened it, he saw a palm-sized gold medal lying quietly on the tray.
Wu Chengsi happily took it and felt his hand sinking. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam. Come and serve tea!"
Xie Yaohuan said: "Thank you very much, sir, for your kindness. I have to rush back to the palace to reply to the order, so I will retire now."
Wu Chengsi ordered Wen Rong to escort her out, and sat down on a chair in the lobby, crossing his legs and thinking about how to complete the task assigned by the Queen.
In addition to Wang Bo, among the historical celebrities of this period, the one who impressed him most deeply was Zhang Jianzhi.
Someone called Wen Rong and asked him about Zhang Jianzhi. Wen Rong's face changed slightly: "My lord, when you ask about him, do you mean to transfer him to the Hanlin Academy?"
"It can only be said that he is an alternative. Please tell me quickly whether you recognize him or not!" Wu Chengsi urged.
Wen Rong knelt on the ground and bowed his head.
"What are you doing?" Wu Chengsi asked in surprise.
Wen Rong didn't answer.
Wu Chengsi thought about it and immediately understood that he wanted to transfer him to the Hanlin Academy.
Having said that, Wen Rong also had a reputation, so there was nothing wrong with being an official.
It's just that his fame was clearly calculated in time.
Compared with Jinshi subjects and Mingjing subjects, which are in high demand, Mingshu subjects are unpopular subjects and are not easy to find a job, so they went to the Duke's Mansion and deigned to be a housekeeper.
Wen Rong stayed in the Duke's Mansion for more than half a year and was very considerate in his work, which was highly appreciated by his original owner. When he was in prison at Dali Temple and helping deliver messages, Wu Chengsi also felt that he was shrewd and capable.
Moreover, unlike the ancients, he did not despise Mingshu, Mingshu and Mingfa, and looked highly upon talents like Zhong Wenrong.
It was a pity that he could never let Wen Rong enter the Hanlin Academy.
"Wen Rong, have you ever thought about what the Queen would think if I sent my housekeeper to the Hanlin Academy? What would everyone in the world think?" Wu Chengsi said solemnly.
Wen Rong was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "What you are saying is that my subordinate is just wishful thinking."
Wu Chengsi waved his hand and said: "Don't belittle yourself. You are very talented. I know this best. If you are willing, I can recommend you to serve as the county magistrate and benefit the local area. Are you willing?"
Wen Rong turned from worry to joy and said with cupped hands: "My lord, I am deeply grateful to be praised by you. I am willing to continue to follow you to serve you as a dog and horse!"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "This is best. If you leave, I won't be able to find a better steward for a while. As long as you are motivated, diligent, and upright, I will reuse you in the future."
!”
Wen Rong's face showed excitement, he bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."
Wu Chengsi thought for a while and then said: "Wen Rong, from now on, I hope you can manage the house well, especially externally, and never allow people in the house to bully others. Do you understand?"
Wen Rong said solemnly: "I know what to do."
Wu Chengsi nodded and asked Zhang Jianzhi again.
Wen Rong said: "My lord, Zhang Jianzhi was a student of the Imperial College when he was young. Mr. Fox Defen, the imperial wine minister, spoke highly of him. Later, he became a Jinshi and served as the county magistrate in Qingyuan. He passed the virtuous and Fangzheng examination
Later, he was appointed as the supervisory censor. A year ago, he was demoted to Guide as the county magistrate because he offended Li Yifu, the Minister of Civil Affairs."
