The sun was gradually setting in the west, and Qin Dewei was too lazy to get up after finishing his nap, so he just lay there.
Mainly because I had a lot of sleeping positions just now, but now I don’t want to move at all.
He and Miss Wang were talking to each other, "Now that you have raised five daughters and trained them, you have completely turned behind the scenes? I think this is quite good."
Wang Lianqing drew circles on Qin Dewei's chest: "In the past year and a half, apart from being forgotten by my little lover, there is nothing wrong with me."
Qin Dewei coaxed and said: "As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy. Don't live like a resentful woman."
Wang Lianqing snorted softly and said: "You told me not to be a resentful wife, do you mean to persuade me to find another lover?"
Qin Dewei quickly replied: "You are too sensitive. Of course I didn't mean that. I mean, you can go to the capital to find me, why waste a year and a half in Nanjing."
Wang Lianqing pinched Qin Dewei lightly, and said to Qu, "Master, don't talk so easily when your two lips collide.
I am a Lehu member of the Nanjing Jiaofang Division. How can I leave Nanjing at will?
Besides, it is more than two thousand miles from north to south, and there may be any dangers on the road. How can I, a weak and helpless woman, travel, sir, are you at ease?"
Qin Dewei suddenly realized: "I wrongly blamed you. I always thought it was you who didn't want to come over. I won't blame you anymore!"
Wang Lianqing was furious and tapped Qin Dewei's forehead: "Did you get to be the number one scholar by pretending to be stupid? Fei Zuojian, the slave family, kneels down and kowtows. Can't I beg you so hard?"
"You should have told me if you wanted to go to the capital." Halfway through, Qin Dewei made a decisive and emotionally intelligent turn and asked: "What should I do with the five you raised?"
Wang Lianqing sighed: "Let's take them together and form a troupe to pass the time. Otherwise, what else can I do in the future? When I grow old and no one wants me anymore, I will still have a few people to rely on."
There are so many people. Qin Dewei thought about the residence in the capital and said helplessly: "There is not enough space. I will think of something else when I return to the capital."
Wang Lianqing asked very sensitively: "Don't you have a pretty big house? Why is it not enough? How many people do you have?"
Qin Dewei changed the subject and said, "By the way! Can the names of the five little ladies you raise be changed? They are both mother and father. It sounds really awkward."
Wang Lianqing replied: "If there is an adoption relationship in our family, that's what we call it. Are you not used to it?"
Qin Dewei ordered: "I'm not used to it, please change it."
Wang Lianqing chuckled a few times and whispered: "But I heard that some people like to be called daddy by little beauties."
Qin Dewei was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he quickly said: "If you have something to say, say it well and don't drive!"
Seeing that it was almost time, I got out of bed and went home.
When I got home, I asked for hot water to take a shower without saying a word. After I washed myself inside and out, I went back to my room.
While teasing his eldest son with Mr. Gu, he heard the maid come in and report, "Mr. He, please go to the outer study."
Qin Dewei didn't know much about the family affairs, so he asked doubtfully: "Which Mr. He?"
The maid introduced: "He is a scholar from Songjiang Prefecture, He Liangjun. He has no other livelihood in Nanjing. He asked the Feng family of Songjiang to introduce him and came here to work as a retainer, helping his uncle to welcome him and send him off, and ghostwriting documents."
Qin Dewei had heard of this name several years ago, and now it is considered fate.
When I went to the study and living room in the outer courtyard, I saw a scholar in his thirties, with a very elegant temperament.
After a few words of greeting, He Liangjun pointed to the one-foot-high post on the table and said: "There are so many greetings coming in today. The proprietor must make an idea on how to deal with them."
Qin Dewei sighed, now that he has returned to Nanjing, these worldly things cannot be avoided.
Conductor Xu Lao, County School classmates, Fu Ya County Yamen, Wei Guogong, Nanjing Sixth Department
He cupped his hands to He Liangjun and said, "Mr. He, please take a look at the reply and arrangements. Just give me the time in order of closeness."
Then Qin Dewei had dinner with his uncle and returned to his bedroom.
After taking off his clothes and going to bed, he took the initiative to say to Mrs. Gu: "Come on, let's continue talking about the bank. We didn't explain it thoroughly last night. Let's talk about it in detail tonight. After all, it is related to our family's wealth, so we must not ignore it."
Gu Qiongzhi glanced at her husband suspiciously, and could only say "hehehe" in her heart.
For the next half month, Qin Dewei was exhausted and caught up in a seemingly endless flow of socializing and entertainment.
After time traveling, he lived in Nanjing for several years, but he had never felt so hard.
In any other place, he might be able to close the door and say no to guests, but not in Nanjing.
In other words, if he didn't win the top prize, he might still be able to use a cold persona and assume the aloof attitude of a celebrity, but if he wins the top prize, that won't work.
In the entire city of Nanjing, there was no one to fight against. It was so lonely as snow. Sometimes Qin Dewei suddenly began to miss the old leader Gu.
But people are always forced to mature. Qin Dewei felt that when he returned to Nanjing this time, his edges were smoothed by the world.
He began to wear a false mask and spoke insincere polite words to all kinds of people, and he could no longer be as aggressive as the Jiangdong bully back then.
Fortunately, Wang Lianqing could be brought to many social occasions, so a delicate balance was naturally formed between the two women at home and outside.
When socializing outside, time belongs to Wang Lianqing, and when returning home, time belongs to Mrs. Gu.
One day Qin Dewei and Wang Lianqing were returning in the same car. Wang Meiren suddenly said: "The slave family suddenly felt that it would be good not to renounce their nationality."
Qin Dewei laughed drunkenly: "What kind of silly talk is this? Or do you blame me for not doing anything yet?"
Wang Lianqing said with a bit of nostalgia: "If you are still a member of the Xingyuan family, you can show your face and play with you outside. If you lose your citizenship and become a good family, will you still have such fun?"
Qin Dewei patted his thigh and shouted: "The beauty's words are right. If there is no bonus of Huabang celebrity status in the future, I will feel a lot less interesting."
Beauty Wang suddenly had the urge to kick her lover out of the car. Men are such cheap creatures!
All kidding aside, the matter of denaturalization still needs to be done, otherwise Wang Lianqing will not be able to leave Nanjing. If he follows Qin Dewei northward, it will be like running away and eloping.
Qin Dewei went to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites the next day. The old Qinhuai courtyard Lehu was under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Jiaofang Division, which in turn belonged to the Ministry of Rites.
So if you want to apply for Wang Meiren’s denaturalization, you can’t go around the Ministry of Rites.
This is a very difficult thing. The Ming Dynasty household registration is usually fixed.
Household registration categories such as Army, Craftsman, Zao, and Le are inherited from generation to generation, and it is difficult to change households.
Therefore, Wang Lianqing's status is really not like in Xiaobai's TV series, where you can redeem yourself by just spending money.
If Qin Dewei didn't think he was too proud, he wouldn't even think about helping people change their household registration.
In fact, another way is to help Wang Lianqing escape anonymously, but Qin Dewei obviously cannot afford to take such a risk. If he is discovered, his official career will be affected.
At this time, the Minister of Rites in Nanjing was also an "old acquaintance", Mr. Zhou Yongzhou, the former left minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
The same host who was the host during the last imperial election was promoted to take over as the Minister of Rites in Nanjing.
Qin Dewei submitted his post and was led in not long after, and was received by Zhou Shangshu at the court.
Although they are strangers to each other, they both just came from the northern capital, and Qin Dewei feels that they still have a common language.
After a few words of greeting, Qin Dewei explained his true intention: "There is a woman from Lehu, Nanjing, who has a good nature and does not want to fall into Lehu. I hope that the great uncle will give her a way out."
Zhou Shangshu's official reply said: "The household registration system is an ancestral law, passed down from generation to generation, how can it be easily changed! If everyone speaks like Qin Hanlin, then there is no need to distinguish household registration!"
Qin Dewei was very surprised. He, who was always eloquent, was suddenly speechless.
Since returning to Nanjing this time, Qin Dewei has only encountered flattery and no one has ever contradicted him.
So Qin Dewei really didn't expect that Zhou Shangshu was so disrespectful and his tone had no room for accommodation.
Everyone just came from the capital, why are there no human feelings at all?
Qin Dewei saluted again and said: "Although this matter is difficult, please be accommodating to me!"
Zhou Shangshu waved his sleeves: "There is no room for accommodation. Changing household registration is like changing one's fate. How can one do it so easily? Qin Hanlin should focus more on official matters!"
Qin Dewei couldn't figure it out for a moment. What was the problem? Why didn't he sell his face?
Logically speaking, Zhou Yong was promoted from Zhou Shilang to Zhou Shangshu, and he also used force behind the scenes to instruct Sang Yushi to nominate Zhou Shangshu in the imperial court.
In fact, Qin Dewei cannot be omniscient and omnipotent and know all the information.
After the Dating promotion ended, Zhou Yong didn't have much thoughts at first.
Changing from Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to Minister of Rites in Nanjing was tantamount to exchanging real power for a level jump and getting closer to his hometown in Suzhou. At least it was not a loss.
Later, when Zhou Yong and fellow scholar Gu Dingchen reviewed the situation, they discovered the problem.
Zhou Yong is sixty-one years old this year, and his qualifications are very high. He previously served as the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he can also be called the first minister.
So when Xu Zan becomes the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu becomes vacant, if Zhou Yong is given time to operate, with his own qualifications and the support of the academician Gu Dingchen, it is very possible to fill the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu.
But it happened that Zhou Yong was elected as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing in advance, and then without giving Zhou Yong time to react, Wang Yiqi was elected as the Minister of the Ministry of Husband at lightning speed.
So after the review was completed, Zhou Yong felt that he might have suffered a big loss! The Minister of Hubu was most likely his, but in the end he only got the Minister of Rites of Nanjing!
Then he further suspected that he had been plotted by Qin Dewei, the mastermind behind the scenes, and deliberately pushed him to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. This was a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!
If Qin Dewei knew that Zhou Yong had this intention, he could only shout that he was wronged. Qin Dewei was not a god, so how could he accurately calculate everything?
Even in the last Dating promotion, we only took it one step at a time, and it was impossible to predict the final outcome at the beginning.
When the program reached the stage of recommending Zhou Shilang to Nanjing, the issue of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue had not even occurred to him!
But it is impossible for Zhou Shangshu to express his suspicions clearly, so these misunderstandings are almost destined to be unresolved.
Qin Dewei did not agree with Zhou Shangshu, so he stood up to leave and went to Wang Lianqing to explain the situation.
Wang Meiren asked worriedly: "What should we do? Do you want to have a fight with Zhou Shangshu again?"
Qin Dewei then consoled him: "Now that we have reached this position, fighting and killing is no longer obsolete. After all, there is no deep hatred!
Besides, this is my hometown of Nanjing, and we still have to pay attention to harmony! I will first ask others if there is anyone who can talk to Zhou Shangshu, and ask him to be a middleman.
At the same time, we sent people to Suzhou to see if there was anyone we could talk to in Shangshu Zhou’s hometown. We really couldn’t move Wen Zhengming here to intercede!
So you don’t have to worry, as long as you are in the officialdom, you can’t escape being a worldly person, and problems can always be solved!”
After saying this, Qin Dewei felt more and more mature, and began to know how to take advantage of the situation and use flexible methods such as rules of favor to solve problems.
Coincidentally, the next day, the three giants in Nanjing sent people to inform Qin Dewei that preparations for the sacrifice to Xiaoling Mausoleum were completed.
Only then did Qin Dewei remember that he still had official business to return to Nanjing this time.
When Qin Dewei saw the three giants: the garrison eunuch, the garrison minister, and the minister of war, Qin Dewei inquired:
"Which of you is familiar with Uncle Zhou Dazong of the Ministry of Rites? Or do you know someone who is familiar with Uncle Dazong? I want to ask for a favor from Uncle Zhou and need help."
The three giants are all smart people. When they heard this, they smiled and said: "This is easy to talk about. I just want to help you find out."
Although Qin Dewei's rank is much lower than theirs, Qin Dewei's status is an envoy.
The most important thing is that the Ancestral Temple was hit by a disaster, and Qin Dewei's wonderful writings must be used to help alleviate the crime. Therefore, we must help with this little work.
Since then, the weather has entered the scorching heat of June, so Qin Dewei has reduced his social activities and settled down at home.
He planned to return to the capital in August, so there was no rush at this time and he would wait until the summer vacation.
At this time, a decree from the imperial court suddenly came to Nanjing, ordering Zhou Yong, the Minister of Rites of Nanjing who had only been in office for more than a month, to stay in his official position.
Qin Dewei was astonished. What was going on? Is it such a coincidence? After careful inquiry, he found out the inside story.
It turned out that the Nanjing garrison eunuch asked Zhou to use Zhou Shangshu to discuss matters, but the sergeant who was assigned to serve as a sedan bearer felt sorry for Zhou Shangshu's old age and frailty, so he did not get off the sedan when he passed Xi'an Gate, and directly carried Zhou Shangshu into the imperial city.
So Li Huan, the garrison eunuch, impeached Zhou Yong for violating the etiquette of no one!
Moreover, there is another matter. Duke Guo of Wei held a gathering by Mochou Lake on the outskirts of the city and invited Zhou Yong, Minister of State, to host it.
But when Zhou Shangshu came out of Sanshan Gate, Yi Cong was arrogant and refused to abide by the rule that "officials must register when leaving the city", and fought with the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate!
So the garrison minister Xu Yuan, Marquis of Yongkang, impeached Zhou Yong for his wanton behavior and breaking into the prison without permission!
There were several similar incidents, and without exception they were all impeached, so Zhou Shangshu was ordered to retire.
Qin Dewei was speechless for a long time. When he told the three giants about Zhou Shangshu, that was definitely not what he meant.
He just wants to be like a mature ordinary bureaucrat and find a middleman to help him intercede!
Why can't everyone solve the problem as maturely as him and still misinterpret their own meaning like this?
He won’t take the blame!
But there was another topic of conversation in Nanjing, and everyone lamented that the little bully was still a little bully after all.
His urban legend may be late, but it will never be absent.
