The position of Registrar of the Prince's Palace is mainly responsible for the seals of documents and books. This official is neither big nor small. It is important to say it is important, and it is not important to say it is not important. As the Registrar of the Prince of Chu's Palace, Wei Siqi's daily work is to provide the King of Chu with information.
The necessary documents, as well as the military orders issued by the King of Chu, were stamped.
Originally, he planned to show off his talents under the King of Chu and stand out. But the facts were very shocking. Whether it was Xue Shou, Du Ruhui, Xue Yuanjing, Chu Suiliang, Chu Liang, or Duan Zhixuan, these people all
He was more capable than him. His talent was not outstanding in the Chu Palace, and over time, the pride in his heart gradually disappeared. Although he had a good relationship with Du Ruhui, it did not mean that he could be reused in the Palace.
Without real talent and practical learning, relying on relationships will ultimately not last long.
But recently, the situation took a turn for the better. The King of Chu began to ask him for his views on some major events, and even asked him to help investigate the case of the theft of ordnance from the Ministry of Industry. This made Wei Siqi feel that his fortune had turned around.
However, his talent was not as good as Du Ruhui's, so he was not as astute as Xue Yuanjing in investigating the case of the theft of ordnance from the Ministry of Industry.
Under such circumstances, Wei Siqi approached Du Ruhui and asked for advice. This was his opportunity to show off to the King of Chu, and he was naturally unwilling to let it go easily.
Du Ruhui would naturally not hide anything from his friends. He would tell everyone everything he knew.
At the end, Du Ruhui suddenly asked an off-topic question.
"Ms. Gui hasn't promised anyone yet, has she?"
Wei Siqi was startled and said, "It's not like you don't know the identity of your cousin. How could she marry someone so easily?"
Du Ruhui frowned and said: "The former Sui Dynasty has been destroyed, so it should be fine."
"Of course it's not because of this." Wei Siqi sighed: "Since my uncle left, my cousin has been living with Shun Niang because of Li Min. She is really lonely. Although it is a new dynasty, how can my cousin marry him at will?
.”
Naturally, a Webster girl has no worries about getting married, but Wei Gui's situation is special. The wealthy family is still a little worried about Wei Gui's past. After all, she is a traitor to the family. In ordinary families, Webster's disdain for marriage.
This has caused Wei Gui to be unable to achieve high or low levels.
The more important reason, Wei Siqi did not say, is that the current head of the Wei family is his third uncle Wei Yuanzhao, who has always cared nothing about the children of his two elder brothers.
"Why are you asking this?" Wei Siqi asked him puzzledly. Although Du Ruhui knew his cousin, it seems that the relationship between the two was not as good as this. If Mrs. Du asked him such a question, he would not
It's strange, after all, my cousin and Mrs. Du are best friends, but when Du Ruhui, a big man, asks such a question, it's hard not to make people suspect that he has ulterior motives.
Could it be that this bastard wants to be his cousin's husband?
"Okay, I treat you as a brother, but you miss my cousin! Du Ruhui, I misjudged you!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Du Ruhui couldn't laugh or cry, "I have always respected and loved my wife, but I have never had such delusions. You have wrongly blamed me."
"Then what do you mean?" Wei Siqi asked reluctantly.
Du Ruhui's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "A few days ago, the King of Chu came to see me at his residence. He happened to meet Madam Gui and gave a jade pendant to Little Shun Niang."
"Oh." Wei Siqi nodded. Suddenly, his mind was stuck, "What did you say?"
"I said that when Your Highness came to see me at my residence, he happened to meet Mrs. Gui and gave Xiao Shun Niang a jade pendant."
Wei Siqi was stunned for a while, then came to his senses and looked at Du Ruhui.
At this time, Du Ruhui also looked at him.
Eye contact and eye contact, understanding between men, sometimes do not need to be expressed directly.
"Is it possible that His Highness is interested in my cousin?"
The more he thought about it, the more Wei Siqi thought it was possible. Although his cousin had been married once, her status and appearance were not inferior to those of a boudoir girl.
"I don't know." Du Ruhui opened his eyes and told lies. He never liked using this method to please his lord, and always felt like a sycophant.
"Keming, do you still want to hide something between you and me?" Wei Siqi pretended to be unhappy.
Du Ruhui coughed dryly and said, "It is not the behavior of a minister to talk about your Majesty behind your back. I can only tell you that His Highness seems to like Xiao Shunniang very much and wants her to go to the palace to play with the Princess's legitimate daughter in the future."
Wei Siqi is not stupid and understands this clearly.
However, he was not overly happy. Instead, he said: "Is it because of my cousin's relationship that Your Highness has been using me more recently?"
Du Ruhui glanced at him sideways and asked, "When have you ever seen His Highness put relatives in more important positions?"
After hearing this, Wei Siqi thought about it carefully and found that it really didn't exist.
After a moment of silence, Wei Siqi asked: "Then do you think this can be done?"
"You have to ask yourself, and Mrs. Gui. Of course, the main thing is Mrs. Gui. If she has no objection, we can naturally give it a try." After a pause, Du Ruhui added: "Your Majesty, there is still need
Let’s confirm, lest all of this is just speculation on our part, and we end up doing bad things with good intentions.”
After thinking about it, Du Ruhui added, "There is also Princess Chu. If Princess Chu doesn't know about this matter, you and I may offend her."
As he talked, Du Ruhui simply shut up. He thought to himself that he was really not suitable to be a lucky minister.
Wei Siqi gritted his teeth and said: "I'd better ask my cousin first... No, let's observe and observe first. If His Highness is really interested, I will try my best to help."
It's really hard for him to make the decision on his own in this kind of thing.
"If you think so, His Highness must be very happy." Du Ruhui said.
Wei Siqi left with a happy and entangled mood.
Mrs. Du came out from the back hall carrying tea and sat next to Du Ruhui.
"Madam, do you think His Highness is interested in Madam Gui?" Du Ruhui asked while drinking tea.
Mrs. Du said slyly: "It must be intentional."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because that's how you looked at me back then."
Du Ruhui:(°ー°〃)
Mrs. Du:(????)
After Wei Siqi returned home, he thought about it and always felt that this matter was an opportunity for him.
Now that the King of Chu is prospering, Du Ruhui has been promoted by the King of Chu and has been given the title of Liangzhou Governor. Although it is an empty title, he will be released to the outside world in two years and he will be the governor of a party. Xue Shou also has many merits and will definitely be the governor of a party in the future.
What about him?
Even if the small chief registrant is released to other places in the future, I am afraid he will still be a county magistrate and a lowly official.
If the cousin and the King of Chu can really succeed, then it is not impossible for him to have a chance to climb up.
After thinking about it, he began to feel excited and felt that this matter must be carefully observed. As long as he confirmed that King Chu was indeed interested, he could find a way to persuade his cousin.
Having said that, my cousin is still young and will definitely get married in the future. Marrying anyone is not a marriage. If she can marry the King of Chu, she will not lose her status and can even go one step further.
Wonderful!
The other side.
Wei Gui was making little shoes under the light. The King of Chu gave his daughter a jade pendant. She wanted to return the gift no matter what. With her current economic level, she would definitely not be able to afford expensive things, so she could only do what she could.
matter.
When she heard that King Chu had a son and a daughter, she personally made two pairs of shoes for King Chu's children as a token of her gratitude.
Xiao Shunniang accompanies her mother obediently.
"Auntie, are you doing this for me?"
"No, they were made for the children of the uncle's family who gave you the jade pendant."
Xiao Shunniang tilted her head, held the jade pendant in her hand, and asked innocently: "That uncle said that he wanted me to go to his house to play. Grandma, when are we going?"
Wei Guifeng blushed and said softly: "Later."
How could she not see the look in King Chu's eyes? Her heart was in a mess right now.
