Luoyang Brocade Chapter 245: Fengzhi (1)
In the evening, Uncle Ling and Fifth Master Ling Ji returned to the house one after another.
The Fifth Master Ling had met Zhang Jian before, but it was the first time for Uncle Ling Ling Ji to see him, and he was a little surprised.
At the end of the year, every household is busy. At this time, very few people visit other people's houses. Unless they are particularly close relatives and friends... No matter how you look at it, Zhang Jian doesn't fall into this category either!
So, Zhang Jian is the type of uninvited guest who is not very welcome.
However, the strange thing is that Sun is quite enthusiastic about Zhang Jian. Ling Jingyan, Ling Jingshu, and Ling Xiao looked very familiar with Zhang Jian.
Uncle Ling and his son suppressed their surprise and greeted Zhang Jian politely.
Zhang Jian did not dare to show any slightness to Ling Jingyan's father and brother, and behaved very respectfully and politely. At the table, I didn't drink much wine, lest I accidentally lose my temper and be rude.
After Zhang Jian left, Uncle Ling Ling Ji asked in unison: "Who is this Zhang Jian? Why did he suddenly come to visit?"
Sun smiled meaningfully and told the whole story in a low voice.
Uncle Ling and Ling Ji understood immediately, looked at each other, and each frowned in silence.
"I've only met her once, and now she's here. Either she's frivolous by nature, or she's really attracted to A-Yan." Ling Ji touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
Judging from Zhang Jian's performance today, it should be the latter.
Sun said with a proud face: "A Yan is pretty, cute, lively and lovable. He likes A Yan, so he has some taste."
Don't look at Mrs. Sun scolding Ling Jingyan all day long. When angry, he will also curse. In fact, I have always been proud of my daughter. In her eyes, Ling Jingyan is undoubtedly the most beautiful and lovely girl in the world.
Uncle Ling thought for a while and said: "Wait for a while first. See what his temperament is like. If he really has this heart, he will take action and ask his family to come to propose marriage. We can think about it slowly. Consider it."
Marry a wife with your head down, marry a daughter with your head down.
If Zhang Jian wants to be the son-in-law of the Ling family, he must show real sincerity.
Ms. Sun nodded in agreement: "What the master said is true, I know it."
……
Time flew by day by day, and finally it was New Year’s Eve.
The house has been cleaned up. Couplets are pasted on the door, and festive red lanterns are hung at the door. The maids, servants and ladies who received double the monthly salary were all beaming with joy.
Everyone in the Ling family also had a rare family reunion. We had a lively reunion dinner at noon.
Uncle Ling drank a few glasses of wine and was a little tipsy, but he was in high spirits. He patted Fifth Master Ling on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, you have been staying in Dingzhou for so many years, and this year it is a rare visit to the capital. As the eldest brother, I feel really happy."
Ling Wuye also smiled and said: "We, father and son, have been living here, so I have to worry about it."
Ling Wuye said nonchalantly: "This is nothing to worry about. As long as you are willing to stay in the capital, you can stay as long as you want."
He lowered his voice and asked: "Fifth brother, you have the reputation of being a civil servant. If you want to find an official position, it is not difficult. After the New Year, I will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for you. First, sign up as a candidate. Spend some money to establish relationships, and then go privately to seek help from the emperor's grandson. First, find a leisurely job with a low official position."
Ling Wuye was very moved when he heard this, but also a little hesitant: "Brother, to tell you the truth, I also have this idea. But, if this happens, I will most likely stay in the capital. I can't go back to Ding. State. For such an important matter, you have to ask your mother before making a decision."
Uncle Ling said with a smile: "You write a letter to the family and go back. Just ask mother. According to mother's temperament, as long as you have a good future, she will never hinder you."
As a mother, no matter how reluctant she is to give up, she will not hinder her son's future.
Ling Wuye nodded.
Uncle Ling added: "If you are really determined, you might as well write a letter to your sister-in-law and ask her to come to the capital with her two children. In this way, your family can be reunited."
Ling Wuye lived a happy and happy life in the capital, with his sweet and charming wife beside him, and he "met" a beautiful and enchanting confidante outside. He never missed his wife and children at home. Hearing this, he responded vaguely: "Don't worry about these things for now, let's talk about it later!"
If Mrs. Li comes, she will definitely be jealous and meddle in things. How could there be such a happy and happy life now.
Uncle Ling could not help but laugh when he saw what Fifth Master Ling was thinking, and was secretly envious in his heart.
With such a good daughter like Ling Jingshu, why should Fifth Master Ling not have a bright future?
While he was talking, there was a knock on the door of the study room, and Sun's slightly sharp and high-pitched voice of surprise sounded outside the door: "Master, there is a decree coming from the palace!"
……
The door suddenly opened, revealing Uncle Ling's surprised face: "What is Feng Zhi?"
Ms. Sun looked happy and said hurriedly: "It's the empress who has come to summon me to the palace tomorrow."
On the first day of the new year, there is a large court meeting in the court, and all officials, civil and military, worship the heaven together with the emperor. As the mother of the country, the queen will also receive a high-level imperial audience in the Jiaofang Palace.
With Uncle Ling's rank, the Sun family is not qualified to enter the palace. Every year, she can only secretly envy those female officials and officials who are qualified to enter the palace.
Unexpectedly, this good luck would fall on her this year.
It doesn’t matter if she is not of high rank. The Empress personally issued a decree to summon her. This honor and dignity are enough for her to steal the show!
When Uncle Ling heard the news, he also cheered up: "Since it is the decree given by the Queen herself, you must be prepared. It will start at the third watch tomorrow. It must not be too late. ~IndoMTL.com~ Qualified What an honor and dignity it is to enter the palace to meet the Queen.
Ms. Sun's face was radiant: "I understand this, so I just need to rest assured."
Ling Wuye also came over and asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, when you enter the palace tomorrow, do you want to take Ayan with you?"
How could Mrs. Sun not see what Ling Wuye was thinking, and replied with a smile: "Yu Niang is pregnant, so it is not suitable to run around and work hard, so she can only stay at home. As for A Yan and A Shu, I am I will definitely take it with me into the palace."
After a pause, he laughed softly and said: "Ah Shu is very popular with Empress Jieyu, and she is often called into the palace to accompany her. The empress also specially issued the Fengzhi because of the appearance of Empress Jieyu and Ah Shu. Let me enter the palace. Speaking of which, I only have this opportunity because of Ah Shu. Fifth brother, you will be very lucky in the future if you have such a good daughter."
Such a phoenix decree suddenly came. It is obviously impossible to say that it has nothing to do with Ling Jingshu.
Listening to these words, Lord Ling Wu felt so good all over. Thinking of how everyone would flatter him in the future, he could laugh out loud even in his dreams. (To be continued.)
