Because they knew that Xie Zheng would most likely take the post of Minister of War when he entered the palace early in the morning to meet with the emperor. Therefore, after breakfast, no one resigned, and they all sat in the Nuan Pavilion with the old lady.
"Mom, my uncle and my sister-in-law have been away from the capital all year round, and they are all unfamiliar with the relatives in the capital. When I come back this time, I thought it would be better to choose a date to hold a church party, so as to keep in touch with each other." Yang said to the old lady with a smile.
.
"That's right." The old lady nodded.
"The wife will draw up a list and show it to mother as soon as she gets back." Yang added with a smile.
"Yes." The old lady responded lightly.
Xie Wu glanced at Mrs. Chen and saw that she was still sitting upright with her head lowered, as if she was not involved in the matter, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Mom, don't you thank Second Aunt?" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Chen and said calmly.
Mrs. Chen was startled, then she realized what she was doing and quickly turned around to look at Ms. Yang with gratitude and said, "Ah Wu is right, I was negligent. Sister and sister, thank you for worrying about this for us."
The impeccable smile on Yang's face froze for a moment.
Even though she knew that this idiot Chen might not be able to see through her thoughts, her words seemed like a slap in the face. Every word seemed to warn her that she was the future mistress of the Hou Mansion, and she
Just worry about those trivial things for her!
The old lady also realized something because of Chen's words. She frowned slightly, turned to Yang and said, "You will call your sister-in-law later when you are drawing up the order, and also ask her to note down the family members who are in contact with the Marquis."
Old friends, please don't let us lose the face of our Marquis."
Although Yang was unwilling in her heart, her face did not show it at all. Instead, she was full of smiles. She responded in a clear voice, "Dear wife, please don't worry." After saying that, she turned around and looked at Chen with a smile and said,
"I will have to go to Cuizhuyuan to bother my sister-in-law soon."
"No, no, I'd rather trouble my siblings to make this trip."
"Look at what my sister-in-law said, it's all about whether the family is in trouble or not."
The corners of Xie Wu's lips twitched slightly.
Even though Mrs. Yang is smiling so amiably now, deep down in her heart, she's probably going to be so angry that she's going to curse.
It's a small thing to lead Chen to draw up a list, but it would be a big deal if in the future, Chen is allowed to gradually decentralize power from her, and even take away all the general affairs of the Marquis Mansion from her.
Besides, if something went wrong with Mrs. Chen in this meeting, the old lady might think it was because she deliberately failed to teach Mr. Chen well.
This was obviously a laborious and thankless job, but she couldn't refuse it.
Yang felt extremely aggrieved and angry when she thought of this.
It would have been nice if Xie Wu hadn't said that too much just now.
This thought flashed in Yang's mind, and she quickly raised her head and looked towards Xie Wu.
Xie Wu on the side caught her gaze and immediately gave her a faint smile.
"Then the second aunt should be very careful. You know that my mother has been away from the capital for a long time, and she may not even be able to recognize all the people in the house."
Satire.
The little doubt in Yang's heart was instantly drowned out.
This girl originally wanted to seek favor in front of her, but by some strange combination of circumstances, Mrs. Chen got the advantage. It was really irritating!
However, the matter has come to this, and there is no possibility of changing it. Why not accept this job happily, and sleep well in front of the old lady, and let that idiot Chen remember this benefit from her.
Yang, who was always quick-thinking, immediately turned around and continued with a smile, "Mom, how about the theater troupe invites the Rongxi Troupe? Last time Mrs. Liao Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry celebrated her birthday, she invited the Rongxi Troupe. He
The actress at home is called Wan Qihong, and her singing skills and body skills are truly outstanding!"
"Then I'll listen to you, let's go to Dingrong Xiban."
The old lady has always let Mr. Yang make the decision on these small matters.
"Hey! Thank you so much, mother." Ms. Yang was extremely happy, with a refreshing smile on her eyebrows and eyes, as if the old lady had promised her something great.
Xie Wu curled her lips. Mrs. Yang was used to doing some face-saving tricks to please the old lady, but it had to be said that both the old lady and others liked to do this to her. In comparison, her mother Chen
Shi is just...too dull.
It's no wonder that even though she took up the identity of the wife of the prince of the Marquis, she was still not as popular as Yang.
Sure enough, the old lady was also infected by Yang's smile, and she couldn't help but have a smile in her eyes. She looked at her jokingly and said, "You are a naughty monkey, you are also a mother, how can you still have a mother?"
Is it in shape?"
"That's also in front of you... My daughter-in-law knows that my mother has always been the most caring person." Yang's eyebrows were crescent, and she smiled and stepped forward to hug the old lady's arm.
The corner of the old lady's mouth moved, and when she was about to say something else, she saw Nanny Zhu walking towards her quickly with a face full of joy, "Old lady, the prince and the second master are back!"
The old lady looked happy, "Come back so soon?"
"Exactly." Grandma Zhu responded with a smile.
"Where are you?" The old lady subconsciously poked her head towards the door.
"It's already coming to our courtyard."
As soon as Nanny Zhu finished speaking, the voices of the maids saluting and greetings could be heard outside.
"My servant, please be safe, Your Majesty, please be safe, Second Master."
Immediately afterwards, the curtain moved, and Xie Zheng and Xie Feng walked in one after another, both with smiles on their faces.
"Mother."
"Mother."
They both stepped forward and saluted the old lady.
"Get up quickly." The old lady quickly stood up and helped them both up.
Others in the room also got up.
"Boss, how are you? What did Your Majesty say?" The old lady looked at Xie Zheng. Even though she had tried her best to restrain herself, her face still showed some excitement and expectation.
"Mother, Your Majesty has given me the post of Deputy General Zuo Yiwei." Xie Zheng held the old lady's hand, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
The old lady's eyes were rounded with shock because of his words, "Aren't you taking up the post of Minister of War?"
"I don't know either. Your Majesty asked me a lot about Ningxia, and even about my father. Then he directly said that the position of Deputy General Zuo Yiwei had been vacant for a long time. Now that I'm back, he asked me to take over." Xie Zheng
said excitedly.
At first, he thought that His Majesty called him back to the capital to fill the vacancy of Minister of War, but he never expected that His Majesty would let him take the post of Deputy General Zuo Yiwei.
Not to mention that Xie Zheng didn't expect that the people in this room, even Xie Wu, didn't expect that His Majesty would issue such a decree.
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, her father had indeed held the position of Minister of War.
You must know that Deputy General Zuo Yiwei has been vacant for six or seven years. Your Majesty has never shown any intention to fill this vacancy. Even the Crown Prince and the King of Qi have never considered this position, otherwise they would not
Being pushed up by Xie Zheng so suddenly!
Moreover, she remembered that the position of deputy general Zuo Yiwei finally fell into the hands of Lu Shen, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo.
It was the thirty-fifth year of Zhengxuan when Lu Shen took office, and now it is the thirty-first year of Zhengxuan.
What made Emperor Zhengxuan suddenly change his mind and put Xie Zheng in that position? Could it be that Xie Zheng did not appear in Guangju Tower to interact with King Qi's people, which made Emperor Zhengxuan think that he did not intend to get caught up in a party dispute?
trustworthy……
However, Emperor Zhengxuan was the most suspicious emperor, and it was impossible to trust Xie Zheng just because he did not go to Guangju Tower for the banquet.
After all, the position of Deputy General Zuo Yiwei is really important!
Zuo Yiwei has always shouldered the responsibility of guarding the imperial city. It is absolutely impossible for him to be placed in this position unless he is someone whom Emperor Zhengxuan trusts. Otherwise, he would not have been empty for so many years.
What was the reason that made Emperor Zhengxuan make this decision?
Xie Wu was surprised, but more than that, she was actually happy.
After all, this life is different from the previous life.
When the old lady heard Xie Zheng's words, she could no longer hide the excitement on her face.
She clasped her hands together and said excitedly, "Amitabha, the Emperor's grace is so great. Boss, when you take up your post tomorrow, remember to enter the palace to thank His Majesty."
Although Deputy General Zuo Yiwei and the Minister of the Ministry of War are both of the third rank, Deputy General Zuo Yiwei holds real troops under his hands. Compared with the fact that the Minister of the Ministry of War is pressed above his head and the Minister of the Ministry of War is constrained by the Minister of the Ministry of War below, Zuo Yiwei
Yiwei is more than a little better!
No wonder the old lady was so excited. Even Xie Zheng himself couldn't restrain his excitement.
"Don't worry, mother, your son will be spared."
"Okay, okay, let's sit down and talk." The old lady took Xie Zheng's hand with a smile on her face and sat on the couch with him.
"Mom, it is a great joy for our Houfu that my eldest brother has received the post of Deputy General Zuo Yiwei. We have to have a good time to celebrate!" Xie Feng said to the old lady with a smile as he sat down.
The old lady curved her lips and smiled, "Your wife just told me that she would choose a date to hold a party in the mansion, so that your eldest brother can get close to relatives and friends in Beijing. It just so happens that he has received it now.
As a matter of fact, this party must be held with great splendor!"
Xie Feng smiled and looked at Yang with a more tender look, "A Rui has always thought about things thoughtfully."
When Xie Feng looked at her like this, Ms. Yang instantly blushed with embarrassment, her expression rarely showing the shyness of a daughter. She glanced at Xie Feng and said coquettishly, "In front of mother, what did the master say?"
Xie Feng pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer. He just stared at Yang with lingering affection.
Mrs. Chen on the side looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a bit envious in her heart.
"The second brother is right. You have always been careful and considerate in your work. There must be no omissions in this meeting. You should pay more attention to it!" The old lady also followed Xie Zheng's words. At the end, the corner of her eye could not help but shine.
He glanced at Chen again.
"Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law will definitely handle this matter properly." Yang stood up and blessed the old lady with a smile, and assured the old lady in a brisk tone.
"Mother, Ayao..."
"I have asked your second brother and sister to bring your wife with them to the wedding. Don't worry, no one in the house will wrong your wife!" The old lady interrupted Xie Zheng angrily.
Xie Zheng smiled and said, "Mother, what do I mean? I want you to keep Ayao by your side, so that she can fulfill her filial piety to you for me!"
The old lady glanced sideways at Xie Zheng, snorted coldly, but did not refute Xie Zheng's words after all.
Aunt Zhu is right. Even if she doesn't like Mrs. Chen, for the sake of her son and grandchildren, she has to give her some respect no matter what! Don't be too mean to her, otherwise, you will hurt her son's heart.
