Chapter 232 Zhang Guifen is pregnant
Compared to Wei Yuan's seriousness towards Sheng Hong.
Behind the screen in the main hall, Zhang Guifen's negotiations with Wang Ruofu and others seemed quite harmonious.
Rulan and Molan poured her tea and greeted her in various ways, obviously wanting to take the relationship with Zhang Guifen to a higher level.
There is a more obvious advantage in being on good terms with Zhang Guifen, that is, the noble ladies in Bianjing City will look up to you.
Don't underestimate this advantage. Once you get into the circle of noble ladies, you may get a better marriage, or have good help after marriage.
"The flowers sent by the aunt of the Wei family are really beautiful, colorful, more beautiful than real flowers, and there are gold threads on them, which looks really noble."
"It is indeed beautiful. Thank you for the gift, aunt."
"Not long ago, the great poet of the Su family wrote a poem, "Old people are not ashamed to wear flowers in their hair, but flowers should be ashamed to wear them on their heads." I believe that many people in Bianjing will wear these hairpins soon. Madam Hou is thoughtful."
"."
Hairpins, also known as elephant flowers, are artificial flowers that can be worn on hair accessories. They are a popular toy in Bianjing City, mostly worn by women.
Some time ago, Su Shi wrote a poem praising this kind of hairpin.
So, in the past few days, many people in the capital have started wearing this kind of flowers.
Zhang Guifen felt that sending these things should make some of the female relatives in the Sheng family happy.
"It's good that you like them. I'll send someone to send you some more someday."
"These hairpins are all imperial products from the palace. They are hard to buy in the market."
When everyone heard Zhang Guifen's words, they immediately loved the hairpins in their hands even more.
Imperial products from the palace!
It's not an exaggeration to say that they are priceless.
At this time, Wang Ruofu, who was sitting next to Zhang Guifen, suddenly asked:
"I heard that the Hai family presented a lot of hairpins to the palace. Is it this kind?"
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen smiled and said, "Our Houfu has some business dealings with the Hai family. These hairpins are indeed made by the Hai family. They are the best hairpins."
Houfu has business dealings with the Hai family?
Hearing this news, Wang Ruofu was immediately overjoyed and asked with a smile: "Guifen, do you know a woman named Hai Chaoyun in the Hai family?"
Hai Chaoyun?
Zhang Guifen thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of her. She's well-educated and well-mannered. The Hai family has always been very good at educating their daughters. Why did the lady suddenly ask about this?"
Wang Ruofu said, "It's not that your nephew Changbai has fallen in love with the girl from the Hai family, but my Sheng family and the Hai family have no contact on weekdays. These days, I've been thinking about who to find to connect with them."
Zhang Guifen said thoughtfully, "Although the Marquis's Mansion has business dealings with the Hai family, it's my master who connects with the Hai family. I'm not allowed to get involved on weekdays. If you want to connect with them, you have to ask my master's opinion."
Ask the Marquis?
Wang Ruofu shuddered involuntarily when she thought of Wei Yuan's murderous aura.
How dare she? !
But Changbai has indeed reached the age of marriage.
"Madam, I'm not familiar with the Marquis. You see, how about you talk to the Marquis about this matter later?"
Wang Ruofu asked cautiously.
Zhang Guifen looked at Wei Shuyi who was sitting opposite.
The latter just drank tea by himself, without revealing anything.
Zhang Guifen had no choice but to say: "I heard that the salt system in Liangzhe has been changed, and Lord Haizhou will return to Beijing soon."
"Why not let Lord Sheng visit Lord Hai."
Wang Ruofu's eyes lit up, this is a solution.
If Wei Yuan could go with Sheng Hong, it would be even better.
The Hai family didn't want to keep him away for Wei Yuan's sake.
Later, Zhang Guifen found an excuse to go to Wei Shuyi's yard to take a look.
When they came to Mu Cang Zhai, seeing that Wang Ruofu did not follow, Zhang Guifen complained to Wei Shuyi:
"This Madam Wang really does not treat herself as an outsider. I have nothing to do with her. The first time I came to Sheng's house with Brother Wei to pay New Year's greetings, she asked me to be a matchmaker. Did she really think I was a matchmaker?"
Wei Shuyi took Zhang Guifen's arm and comforted her: "Good sister, don't be angry, she has no ill intentions."
Zhang Guifen said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, this is because you are here. If it weren't for you, I would be too lazy to talk to her."
As she said that, she looked at Mu Ge'er who was led by Minglan behind her, squatted down, touched Mu Ge'er's cheek, and said:
"Looking at Mu Ge'er, I feel a lot better."
Mu Ge'er opened his arms, looked at Zhang Guifen with a smile, and said in a baby voice: "Auntie, hug me."
Hearing this, Wei Shuyi and her daughter both covered their mouths and laughed softly.
Zhang Guifen pinched Mu Ge'er's nose and said, "You are as heavy as a panda. Auntie can't hold you."
Mu Ge'er didn't care about that. He walked towards her with his arms open, clamoring for him to hug him.
Minglan was a little surprised and said, "On weekdays, when my mother and I hug him, he is reluctant. Why does he take the initiative to hug me when he sees my aunt?"
Zhang Guifen picked him up and smiled, "Maybe Mu Ge'er and I are destined to be together."
Wei Shuyi took the opportunity to say, "You and my younger brother should have a child."
Hearing this, Minglan took Mu Ge'er out of Zhang Guifen's arms and walked away.
Zhang Guifen blushed, "Sister, why are you more anxious than me? How long has my younger sister been married to Brother Wei?"
Wei Shuyi said, "We should hurry up. Have you thought of the names of the boy and girl?"
Zhang Guifen shook her head, "No hurry. If you are pregnant, it's not too late to think about it."
On the other side.
Minglan took Brother Mu's hand and came to the room, and asked earnestly:
"What's the matter with you? In the past, I wanted to hug you, but you didn't want to, and neither did my parents. Why do you feel like you can't walk when you see your aunt today?"
The young Brother Mu said with a dull expression: "I don't know that I just wanted to give my aunt a hug."
Minglan knocked on his little head, "Do you want to please your aunt and ask her to give you more things?"
Brother Mu shook his head, "I just want my aunt to hug me."
Minglan smiled and said nothing more.
Later, Wei Yuan and Zhang Guifen went to Shou'an Hall to visit Mrs. Sheng.
Wei Yuan said: "After Changzhi went to guard the border, during this time, will anyone from Yongyihou Mansion come to see you when you are old?"
Old Mrs. Sheng held Zhang Guifen's hand and responded with a smile: "Here we come, this kid Chang Zhi must have specially told us before he left."
Wei Yuan nodded, "It's good to be here. As a junior, it seems lively to come and see how old you are."
Mrs. Sheng looked at Zhang Guifen with a kind and kind face and said, "Master Wei Hou, you have married a good wife."
As he said that, he gave her the jade bracelet on his wrist.
"Old lady, I don't have anything good here, so don't dislike it."
Zhang Guifen wanted to refuse, but when she saw Wei Yuan nodding, she had no choice but to accept.
After leaving the Sheng family, Wei Yuan said to her:
"This old lady treated my eldest sister and Minglan very well. When I went out to fight, my eldest sister had not yet been sentenced to death, and the back house of the Sheng family was uneasy. Thanks to the old lady's care."
Zhang Guifen nodded slightly, "No wonder you specially told me to prepare some supplements to visit the old lady."
Wei Yuan said: "As the saying goes, a family with an elder is like a treasure. The greatest wealth of the Sheng family does not lie in the younger generations of the Sheng family, but in this old lady."
"If it weren't for this old lady, Sheng Hong would have struggled to become a general magistrate in Yangzhou, let alone come to Beijing to serve as an official."
Zhang Guifen did not tell Wei Yuan about Wang Ruofu, because she knew that Wei Yuan never liked to hear about such matters in the inner house, so she asked instead:
"Is there anything unpleasant about talking to Sheng Yuanwailang today?"
Hearing this, Wei Yuan couldn't help but snorted coldly:
"He is just a fan of officialdom. He only thinks about how to climb up to the powerful and get promoted and make a fortune."
"But as everyone knows, the best way to get promoted is to do your job well first."
"Now he is just a small-time member of the Communist Party of China, and he dares to inquire about the party dispute between North Korea and China."
"If he is allowed to enter the center in the future, I'm afraid the entire court will be filled with chaos and intrigue."
Zhang Guifen covered her mouth and smiled, "Now that the temple is so high, is it clear?"
Wei Yuan said earnestly: "Although there are party disputes, both Han Zhang and Wen Yanbo are thinking about doing things. When they are officials in the government, they always do things first and then conduct themselves as a person."
——
On January 17, the sixth year of Jiayou's reign, Zhao Zhen personally issued an order, and Uncle Ouyang Yong was demoted from Beijing and was not informed about Caizhou affairs.
In Zhao Zhen's dynasty, the prime ministers and central ministers were like running water. After you sing, we will appear on the stage.
The reason is nothing more than a little bit.
During the restructuring, ministers who supported the restructuring were appointed. When the restructuring was blocked, in order to prevent chaos in the country, ministers who did not support the restructuring had to be appointed.
After all this vacillation, it would be amazing if the three-redundancy problem could be successfully solved.
This time Uncle Ouyang Yong was demoted from Beijing mainly because the big boss who did not support the restructuring returned to Beijing.
However, this has nothing to do with Wei Yuan. What makes him worthy of attention is that when Uncle Ouyang Yong left Beijing, Bao Xiaosu suddenly fell ill.
At first, Wei Yuan thought that this was Zhao Zhen's intention, and he wanted Bao Xiaosu to make room for people from Wen Yanbo's party.
However, it was not until he visited Bao Xiaosu that he realized that he was really sick.
As for what kind of disease he suffered from, the imperial doctor couldn't tell clearly.
Although Wei Yuan had a modern vision, he still couldn't explain what was going on with Bao Xiaosu.
When leaving Bao Xiaosu's house with Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi said:
"Master Bao suddenly contracted a serious illness and asked the official family to resign from his post as Deputy Privy Envoy."
"With Wen Yanbo's recommendation, Wu Kuiquan knows Kaifeng Mansion. Judging from the current situation, this person has the best chance to serve as the deputy privy envoy."
In Zhao Zhen's dynasty, after Quan knew the Kaifeng Mansion, he took the next step and became the Deputy Privy Envoy.
Wu Kui and Wen Yanbo were Jinshi in the same year.
That year, Han Zhang, Bao Xiaosu and others were included in the Jinshi list, and it was called the Zaizhi list next to the Dragon and Tiger list in Jiayou's second year by later generations.
Wang Anshi said so much to Wei Yuan, just to remind him to be careful that Wen Yanbo might pull Zhang Fu down.
However, Wei Yuan felt that Wang Anshi was overly worried. Zhang Fu was a military officer, not a civil servant. He came to serve as the privy envoy to stabilize the hearts of the generals in the world.
It is impossible for Zhao Zhen to let Wen Yanbo completely get involved in the Privy Council.
"Master Bao fell ill at the wrong time."
"Uncle Ouyang Yong leaves the capital, who will take his place?"
Wei Yuan asked.
Wang Anshi thought for a while and said: "The center has not yet formulated a result in the past few days, but there is a high probability that it will be Zhao Gai."
Zhao Gai? This person and Wen Yanbo were also Jinshi in the same subject.
In terms of ability, he is far inferior to Uncle Ouyang Yong. Now that he is in that position, he is probably forced to do so.
"You allow officials from various states to participate in the big exam. Mr. Wen is famously opposed to it. Isn't your situation not good?"
Wei Yuan asked.
Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "I don't participate in party disputes. In the eyes of Han Xianggong and Wen Xianggong, I, the Minister of Personnel, cannot be offended for the time being." Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "You are the one who has benefited the most from the dispute between Wen Xiang and Han Xiang." "After all, everyone knows that whoever you, the Minister of Personnel, support will have the upper hand." "The government really has a far-reaching plan." Wang Anshi smiled and said, "The reform of the Ministry of Personnel is extremely difficult to implement. Many people, including Han Xiang, are somewhat opposed to it. If you want to smoothly implement the reform and solve the problem of redundant personnel, The issue of officials can only do it when the situation of the party is increasingly severe. "Wei Yuan said:" You are not afraid of playing with fire? " Rare is wonderful, I am worried, you will be involved in the party's struggle. In the bag, there are some hemostatic medicinal materials. With Wei Yuan's current status, he must be the commander-in-chief of the three armies whenever he goes to war.
If as a commander, he still has to fight the enemy with real swords and guns, it can only mean one thing.
The time for the decisive battle has come.
It is a battle of life and death.
At that time, no medicinal materials will have a higher chance of survival than winning this battle.
"Madam, your craftsmanship is getting better and better."
"I still remember the first sachet you embroidered for my master."
Baozhu, who was standing beside Zhang Guifen, suddenly smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
Zhang Guifen glared at her and said, "You are the only one who talks too much."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her stomach churning, and quickly put down the semi-finished sachet in her hand, ran outside, and vomited out all the food she had eaten in the morning.
Seeing this, Baozhu hurriedly said, "Madam, are you okay?"
Zhang Guifen only felt a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing else unusual.
At this moment, Zhen'er suddenly said, "Madam, are you pregnant?" Baozhu was a little anxious when she heard it, "I'll go ask the doctor to take a look." Zhang Guifen also hoped that she was pregnant. In the past few days, she obviously felt that her appetite was a little more than usual. But such things should not be made public, and she did not dare to tell Wei Yuan. She suddenly remembered what her elder sister said to her when she went to Sheng's house not long ago. It's time to have a child. It can't be such a coincidence, right? Did her elder sister's words really come true? At this moment, she thought of Mu Ge'er, who usually didn't like to be held by others, and pestered her to hold him. So, she hurriedly looked at Tian Zhen and said, "Go to Sheng's house to ask my elder sister, and tell my elder sister to make sure she brings Mu Ge'er." If she is really pregnant, Wei Yuan and the Wei family will have a successor.
