Chapter 379 Waiting for him to come to the door
Qin Chi went to Yuheng to inspect.
This matter soon spread in the Ministry of Works, especially those who were paying attention to Qin Chi''s every move, and some people spread the news to the mansions of Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang. Every hour or so, a message was heard.
Mr. Zhang is in the mansion.
His second brother and his eldest daughter Zhang Yanzi came to find him together.
After hesitation, the father and daughter said yesterday that they wanted to climb Qin Chi''s failure.
Mr. Zhang''s face became dark, "He is really not a woman?"
"This was not tested. He never got off the carriage from beginning to end, nor did he see Zi''er''s appearance." Zhang Erye still didn''t believe it in his heart. Any man would not like his Zi''er.
Mr. Zhang glanced at Zhang Yanzi beside him, and then said to Mr. Zhang Er, "Don''t stare at Qin Chi anymore. I guess he didn''t like it. It''s a coincidence that I can do such a thing once, but it''s a coincidence that I''ll lose my reputation once again, and it won''t be worth the loss."
"impossible!"
Mr. Zhang decisively denied it.
Zhang Yanzi also lowered her head in shame.
Mr. Zhang Er said angrily: "If it weren''t for the Emperor''s eldest grandson, with Zi''er''s appearance, the concubine who was the Emperor''s eldest grandson was qualified. Why would a local bun from the countryside look down on Zi''er?"
"Are you crazy?" Mr. Zhang glared at him.
When Mr. Zhang Er was about to get angry when he saw him, he suddenly became weaker, "Brother, I mean he didn''t see Zi''er. When he saw it, he wouldn''t have to come forward, he would come up by himself."
"Then what are you doing today?"
Mr. Zhang had long known that his younger brother was not very capable, but his ambition was not small.
Only then did Master Zhang remember the purpose of this, "I want my elder brother to invite Qin Qi''an to visit the mansion. At that time, I will find a way to let him see Zi''er, and the rest will be easier."
"I won''t invite you. If he wants to come to the Zhang family, I will ask someone to notify your second wife." Mr. Zhang is still pretending to be sick at home, just to show off his warning to Qin Qi''an. After thinking about it, he said, "If Qin Qi''an understands the worldly ways, he will visit him with a gift in the past two days."
He finished speaking.
Zhang Erye and Zhang Yanzi''s eyes lit up.
This is good news.
After learning the news, the father and daughter sat for a while and left.
The confidant of Mr. Zhang next to him asked in confusion: "Master, why are you sure that Qin Qi''an will come to visit the Zhang family?"
"Without the approval of Mr. Wang and I, it is impossible for Qin Qi''an to successfully take over the Ministry of Works. I really think that going to inspect the Fourth Department can solve the problem? The Ministry of Works'' archives where the important documents are stored, after the Yuan family left, under the control of Mr. Wang and I, without the keys in our hands, Qin Qi''an couldn''t even enter a warehouse, let alone touching the core."
This is also the reason why Mr. Zhang is determined to come to Qin Qi''an.
The important information that cannot be understood from the outside is undoubtedly a sight to see flowers in the fog. If Qin Chi does not compromise, his power is equivalent to being undermined and being a Shangshu who is similar to a mascot.
Mr. Zhang said again: "Qin Qian just took office today and hasn''t realized this yet. He will realize it in two days."
"But what if the Minister Wang surrendered to Qin Qi''an first?" The confidant raised his concern.
Mr. Zhang''s face froze, his eyes flashed, "Will Mr. Wang compromise?"
After saying that, he suddenly stood up, "No! You arrange someone to stare at Mr. Wang. If he meets Qin Qi''an in private, come and notify me immediately."
"Yes, I''ll do it now."
The confidant responded humbly and lowered his head and left the house.
Not only did Mr. Zhang have this idea, Mr. Wang was also worried that he would compromise with Qin Chi first, so he also made the same arrangement.
On the contrary, Qin Chi inspected the Fourth Division in an orderly manner in the Ministry of Works. The work of the Sisi Department is more arduous than expected.
Qin Chi spent several days inspecting the department.
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang, who were waiting for him to come, were impatient and no longer had the initial certainty.
Compared to Qin Chi''s busy yamen affairs, Song Jin was busy moving at home. As for the invitation posts sent, Song Jin declined them all. Some people didn''t give up and asked someone to investigate, but the result was that Song Jin was taking care of the children at home and was busy moving.
Many things are done by Song Jin himself.
Wu Bohou’s mansion, the back house.
"Rejected again?"
Mrs. Wu frowned, "Is she looking down on the Wu family?"
Song Jin was invited to the mansion for a small trip, and he invited him three times, but all of them were asked to refuse. Mrs. Wu said that she was a little disliked.
Don’t look at the Wu family’s decline.
Mrs. Wu also has an imperial decree, and people outside also call me Lao Fengjun.
Mrs. Wu shook her head, "I heard that she is busy moving into a new home."
"It''s just an excuse." Mrs. Wu understood it very clearly.
Just as Mrs. Yan was about to say something, she saw Yan Yurong and Wu Jingyao here again, and said to the two, "Rong''er, let your cousin go to her room to sit."
Yan Yurong knew that her mother wanted to send them away, but she was not happy, but when she saw her mother''s serious eyes, she let Wu Jingyao take them away in a bad mood.
When you go out.
Yan Yurong looked back and looked, "Don''t cousin want to listen?"
“I don’t want to listen.”
Wu Jingyao doesn’t need to listen deliberately, as long as she wants to know, she just needs to ask her mother in the future.
Yan Yurong was very curious about Song Jin at this time, "Cousin, what kind of person do you think Mrs. Qin is? She has been in the capital for so long, and not many people have seen her. They all say that she is ugly. How ugly is she?"
Wu Jingyao was absent-minded.
I couldn''t help but recall the sight I had seen from afar before, and I didn''t see her appearance, but her slim figure and temperament still impressed her.
"It''s not ugly, right?" Wu Jingyao murmured.
"say what?"
Yan Yurong looked at her in confusion, "What was my cousin saying just now? I was too quiet, I didn''t hear it clearly."
Wu Jingyao didn''t say anything more.
The two of them gradually drifted away and walked out of the old lady''s yard.
But in the main hall.
Mrs. Yan was talking about Qin Chi and Song Jin.
Outsiders have never seen Song Jin, and Yan Xianqing has seen him. He said that Song Jin''s appearance is good, but his appearance is really ordinary, and he is not as delicate as the maid raised by Mrs. Yan.
At that time, Mrs. Yan was angry with Yan Xianqing for a long time, and once suspected that Yan Xianqing had fallen in love with the big maid beside her.
Mrs. Yan said annoyedly: "Xianqing said that he asked me to extinguish this thought. It is best not to do with the Wu family."
"Why is this?" asked Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Yan said, "Qin Qi''an attaches great importance to his wife and children and will not stop marrying his wife again. It''s not that my Yurong can''t get married. It''s a grievance to marry a second marriage. How could she be a concubine? If Qin Qi''an hadn''t made a fortune and would have a high position and a powerful position in the future, I wouldn''t have had that idea at that time."
“It’s okay to be a concubine first.”
Mrs. Wu''s eyes flashed.
But as soon as she said this, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Yan looked at her in shock.
Is she crazy?
He actually said such words?
