Shen Jue works in Shandong. Although he knows that there are many crises hidden behind his son-in-law's current glory, he is not in the court after all and is not very aware of the many overt and covert struggles within the court.
Moreover, because of his close relationship with Qiao Yingjia and the fact that he has married his daughter to a young scholar leader in the north, the southern scholars do not trust him very much, and it is difficult for him to know many deeper information.
In Shen Jue's view, even if Feng Ziying is at risk of showing off, there is absolutely no problem in staying in the Six Ministries of the Central Government or the General Affairs Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and other ministries and temples, especially Dali Temple and the General Affairs Department. It's all about gaining qualifications.
As long as you are cautious and low-key, you may be able to get a fourth-grade casual position after a few years. When the time comes and you wait for the opportunity to move to another place, you can directly serve as the prefect of a prefecture or directly go to a certain province to serve as a prosecutor. He has taken on a high-ranking position such as deputy envoy.
However, Shen Jun underestimated the risks in the DPRK. Especially Feng Ziying, as a northern scholar, proposed the strategy of opening up the sea, which benefited the south a lot, but the north did not see any benefits in a short time. This made some short-sighted northern scholars Qiao Yingjia was very critical of Feng Ziying and even Qi Yongtai, who was behind Feng Ziying.
Under this circumstance, both Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia believed that it was necessary for Feng Ziying to stay dormant for a period of time.
For example, now Feng Ziying basically does not appear in the Zhongshu Department, and even practicing state affairs has returned to the Hanlin Academy. Only three people, Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and Wu Di, are left to work in the Zhongshu Department on behalf of northern, Huguang and southern scholars respectively.
As the affairs of Zhongshu Branch are on track, it will also be a challenge in the future to determine whether the current affairs of Zhongshu Branch will continue in the current mode.
But no matter what, Feng Ziying will not be involved anymore, and the best place for him is to go somewhere else.
"Wan Jun, the prime minister must start from a prefecture or county. If he does not have local qualifications, it will be difficult for your husband to truly gain a foothold in the court in the future. Moreover, you are also familiar with many issues facing the prefecture and county level. I don’t know anything about it, and I may even be easily deceived and deceived by the officials below. This is something I cannot accept.”
Feng Ziying explained patiently, but he did not mention the pressure he was facing from all sides.
"If my husband wants to go to another place, should he go to the south or stay in the north?" Shen Yixiu also knew that her husband must put his official career first, and it was not her turn to intervene in such matters.
"It's hard to say, it depends on the intention of the court, but I personally don't care. It would be good to go to Nanzhi or Huguang and Jiangxi, but as for staying in the north, it is impossible in Shandong, so it is most likely to go to Beizhi, Shanxi. A few, is Wanjun worried about this?"
Feng Ziying looked at Shen Yixiu and asked with a smile.
"No, no matter where my husband goes, I will follow him." Shen Yixiu replied firmly.
"Haha, Wan Jun is so reluctant to be your husband? But if you go down there, I'm afraid it won't be as comfortable and comfortable as the capital city." Feng Ziying was happy in her heart, but she still wanted to tease her wife verbally.
"It is natural for a husband to sing and his wife to follow her. Besides, I am not incapable of withstanding the wind and rain. In the capital city for several years, my father was absent, and I was still the one to carry it..." Shen Yixiu disagreed, "If you don't believe it, My husband might as well take a look and find out."
"Okay, okay, let's go with the whole family then to have some fun." Feng Ziying didn't have anything to say about this.
According to the custom of the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty, people avoid their official position to serve as officials, so how to deal with the whereabouts of wives and concubines depends on their own family.
Most people take concubines but not wives, or take no wives or concubines. If it is not possible, they can just keep concubines in official places.
Of course, there are also wives and concubines who bring their entire family with them, but this situation is rare among officials with higher grades. Generally, low-ranking officials below fifth grade are the majority, and if they go to the government level, the proportion is small, and when they go to the county This level is more common.
**********
"Why are you back?" Shen Yixiu was surprised when he saw Feng Ziying entering the house, but his heart was filled with sweetness. "This is a good day for the two sisters of the You family. I should take pity on the two sisters, isn't it?" Are you afraid of being personally jealous?"
"Why did I ever have such intention?" Feng Ziying waved her hand, "I don't care about this day. For them, entering the house is the biggest happy event. I sat in their sisters' room for a while, and they were still busy. Clean up and settle down,..."
She is yearning in her heart, and Feng Ziying also knows that she should take it easy. Although Shen Yixiu appears to be generous and has the demeanor of a big woman, who can know what a woman is thinking in her heart. There may be a slight touch, and a burst of evil fire can Outburst, Feng Ziying will not take such unnecessary risks.
So the safest thing was to go back to the house. As for Er You, he had already told the second daughter, and the two women hurriedly pushed him out, obviously not wanting to offend Shen Yixiu for this. The impression in Shen Yixiu's mind was ruined.
"Ms. sir, there really is no need to be like this. The sisters may not have seen their husbands for a long time. Women have relied on men all their lives. Now that they have finally entered the house, they may be watching their husbands pass by. If I am tonight Leaving my husband behind so ignorantly would be very unpleasant if it spread to the ears of outsiders."
Shen Yixiu was happy inside, but she would not do such a disgraceful thing. As long as Feng Ziying came back, she would be satisfied.
What she wants is this respect.
And to be honest, during the past twenty days, she really couldn't bear it.
Her husband was so aggressive at night and kept showing off all kinds of tricks that she felt like she had only been married for a day or two and was almost turning into a slut.
And the husband actually said that what he liked was a chaste woman in front of the court and a slut in bed. I don’t know where the husband heard these shameless words. Shen Yixiu almost died of embarrassment.
Now Feng Ziying still has a large black mark on his waist, which was the mark Shen Yixiu left on him when he said such heart-wrenching words.
If she hadn't considered that she had only been married for a short period of time, her mother-in-law was always asking about her health condition, and Qingwen and Yun Shang were both virgins, she would have really planned to let Qingwen and Yun Shang serve as waitresses. Go to bed and defend yourself.
Sister You's entry into the house is also a relief for me. At least she can share some of her burdens. I don't know how her husband can do so. Could it be that her mother-in-law really said that Master Zhang taught her husband some secret method of giving birth? ?
Thinking of this, Shen Yixiu couldn't help but feel a fever in his face, especially when he saw her husband looking at her with burning eyes. Shen Yixiu subconsciously asked for mercy, but he quickly realized and pushed her husband out immediately, "Mr. sir, hurry over. The two younger sisters of the You family are both honest people. I like them very much, and my husband also makes them feel at ease..."
…
Seeing Feng Ziying return to Dongkuoyuan, You Er and You San were shocked and hurried over, "Why are you here again?"
"Why don't you think I can't come?" Feng Ziying couldn't laugh or cry. She originally thought she was a piece of cake, but why did she become a stinky dog shit, annoying everyone everywhere?
"No, didn't the slave family all tell me earlier that I should go over to accompany my young mistress today? The days are long, and it won't be too late for me to come over when I have time..." Second Sister You glanced at Third Sister You, He said: "My sister and I both think it's best for me to rest at my mistress's place during this period..."
"What do you mean?" Feng Ziying was a little confused.
"What my sister means is that I have just gotten married not long ago. Although grandma is generous and has brought all the slave sisters into the house, the slave sisters are not ungrateful people. So it is best for me to rest with the young mistress. If the young mistress comes in the future, If it's inconvenient, it won't be too late for me to come over." Sanjie You was more straightforward and simply made it clear, "It would be best if we could wait until the young lady is pregnant."
Feng Ziying understood. The You sisters still hope that Shen Yixiu can get pregnant and give birth to a child as soon as possible, so that they, the concubines, can feel at ease. After all, if the eldest son is born by a concubine, he will never be as reassuring as a legitimate child. The You sisters can also realize that to this point.
"Well, I understand." "I understand, but there is no good way. Feng Ziying also knows that the You sisters have been consciously contraceptive from the beginning, and they just don't want this to happen, but Feng Ziying also told them The principle of the safe period actually gave the two sisters a lot of peace of mind.
So far, it seems that nothing has gone wrong, but it is still a worry for the two daughters of You family.
"Then let's go back to grandma." Sister You also said with a gentle face, "Young grandma is a good person. My mother always said that the You family's good deeds in the previous life allowed our sisters to meet such kind people like young grandma. If this person is For me to stay overnight with us, it seems that our sisters are ungrateful."
Feng Ziying was silent, but if she thought about it, if in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", You Er died by swallowing gold, and You San died by drinking a sword, neither of them had a good outcome. If he followed her now, at least he would have avoided the worst. As a result, as two mixed-race women from Hu and Han who had been discriminated against with contempt, now Shen Yixiu is so kind to them, no wonder they are so grateful.
"That's all, I'm leaving." Feng Ziying was extremely frustrated, but couldn't find a suitable reason to refute, so she could only leave Dongkuayuan angrily. Did this mean that three monks had nothing to eat? The problem is that now
There are only two sides, so what should we do in the future?
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying didn't know where to go for a while, and suddenly thought of why she didn't go to the academy to stay for one night?
Both sides are pretending to refuse, trying to make a good impression. It just so happens that I can go there. Don't Jin Chuaner and Xiang Ling look good?
Until tomorrow, you will definitely regret it! Feng Ziying thought bitterly.
