"To be edicted ......"

Cao Yun stood like a small official.

Shen An rushed all the way back from Taikang, and at the moment he just wanted to take leave to go home and have a look.

As for Cao Yun......

"The lower officials didn't know the sky and the earth was thick in the past, and please wait for the edict for the sake of the young and ignorant lower officials...... The Cao family will be friends in the future......"

There was a slight sense of superiority in these words, and he probably felt that Shen An had earned it.

And Cao Yun is in his thirties, and it feels really amazing to pretend to be tender in front of Shen An, who is in his teens.

Shen An frowned slightly, and Zhang Liufu on the side smiled and said, "Master Cao...... To be edicted...... The official family has a lot of praise! ”

Your Cao family is a very good pen, but Shen An has the blue eyes of the official family, and he can't afford to hold the stinky feet of the Cao family.

Cao Yun just wanted to slap himself at the moment, his cheeks trembled slightly, and said, "It's the lower official who said the wrong thing, the lower official...... Waiting for the edict, I ...... at home"

He raised his head, peeked at Shen An's face, and then said, "A certain cousin...... He has a seven-year-old son......"

How did this man speak?

"The Cao family?"

Cao Yun nodded.

Shen An looked at him coldly and said, "What does a seven-year-old child have to do with Shen? You say this ......"

Cao Yun saw that Shen An's face was not good, and he felt a stirring in his heart, and hurriedly said: "He wants to marry Sister Ling." ”

This kind of later life is called a doll parent.

!

Shen An couldn't help but be furious and said, "Although the Cao family is rich, I would rather marry my sister to an ordinary person than be happy for her to go to that family to struggle, your cousin...... Toad! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Cao Yun thought that this was good news for Shen An, after all, although the Cao family was not involved in politics, it was rich and noble, and its status was respected, which could be called a good marriage.

But Shen An opened his mouth and scolded the Cao family for being a toad, which was clearly disdainful.

You are just waiting for an edict, if the Cao family didn't think you had potential, how could they put it up vaguely!

Shen An glanced at him and asked, "He asked you to ask questions?" ”

Cao Yun was dusty by Shen An before, how could his cousin come to him to pass on the news?

Shen Anxin sneered, as long as Cao Yun dared to admit it, he would dare to continue to be ruthless in the future.

Cao Yun just smiled bitterly: "Wait for the edict, that cousin is a little close to the lower official...... Listened to it while drinking. ”

I was complaining to my cousin that day, swearing to kill you, how dare he ask me to do this! That's not a marriage, it's a feud.

And there is more than one son of the Cao family, and the children of such a decadent old magnate are basically pawns of the family marriage, marrying one by one, and finally forming a big net, which can be unlimited in the scenery and protect the family when it retreats.

Shen An is now a budding stock, although the future is difficult to say, but it can also be regarded as a potential stock. Cao Yun's cousin has a lot of sons, so he naturally doesn't care about using one of them to marry Shen An.

It's just an intention, so don't overthink it.

Shen An didn't think much about it, he got up and went out.

"To be edicted ......"

is willing to gamble and lose, Cao Yun is here to lose.

But you Shen An have to give an attitude, right?

What do you mean by pulling your legs and leaving?

Not to mention Cao Yun's entanglement and pain, Shen An went to find Du Ziling to take leave.

"All of them are ordered, and the lower officials have suffered cold ...... in Taikang"

This thing looks ruddy, how can it look cold?

But Du Ziling just said with a straight face: "Can you explain?" ”

The fourth room of the Privy Council is in charge of Shen An, so it doesn't matter if you ask for leave, but it has to be arranged properly.

Shen An nodded, he just waited to see who dared to be a demon, and then turned around and slapped him to death.

Du Ziling nodded, and after Shen An left, the little official on the side smiled and said, "It's all Chengzhi, then Shen An will ask for leave when he comes back...... He hasn't been in our Privy Council for a long time, and he's asked for leave many times. ”

These words have the meaning of eye medicine, but the little official is sure that Du Ziling hates Shen An from the bottom of his heart, so he dares to say it.

Du Ziling glanced at him and said lightly: "The official family arranged for him to come here because he wanted to make trouble. How many people in the Privy Council don't want to see him? He's smart himself, so he'll take a leave of absence if he's fine......"

The little official was surprised, but it was not good to ask again, otherwise he would be suspected of neglecting the official.

Seeing his constipated appearance, Du Ziling couldn't help laughing, and then said, "But do you want to ask Song Xiang why he doesn't care there?" ”

The little official is considered to be Du Ziling's person, so when he saw him amiable at this moment, he salivated and said, "Yes!" The officials don't care. ”

The fourth room of the Privy Council can be called a small fourth department, and such a department cannot be overstated.

But Shen An took leave in three days, and it was Chi Guoguo's lie, and the people from the Imperial City Division must have reported it.

The official family doesn't care?

Du Ziling sighed: "Then Shen An is still young! If he is a serious member of the council, His Majesty should have a headache. ”

The little official was stunned when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he thought of the joint of this matter: "If he is an official in a serious way, will the official family have to be promoted according to the rules...... But he's still too young! If he does things neatly, does the official family still have to get him a Zaifu to do before he is thirty years old? ”

Du Ziling nodded slightly, feeling that this little official's understanding was good, and he could focus on cultivating it in the future.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered, "That young man...... It's really neat to do things, and the afterlife is terrifying! ”

……

In the palace, Zhao Zhen finished handling political affairs and slowly went to the harem.

He first went to see two pregnant women, listened to the advice of the imperial doctor, and then he was satisfied.

"Official...... The saint's side ......"

As Zhao Zhen's personal person, Chen Zhongheng felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to remind him: Official, you haven't been there for a long time.

As an emperor, it is necessary to get rain and dew evenly. But there are countless women in the harem, how can he be satisfied with a man one by one? In the end, it is either short-lived, or pure-hearted and has few desires.

For Empress Cao, Zhao Zhen gave her honor, but in matters between men and women, it was just better than nothing.

After a long time, Empress Cao was also accustomed to such a cold day, and gradually felt that she had become a pool of stagnant water.

"Official ......"

So after seeing Zhao Zhen coming, Queen Cao was still indifferent.

Zhao Zhen sat down, someone served tea, he took a sip, and casually said some idle things.

The harem women are not well-informed, but the nature of women is curiosity, and it stands to reason that the queen should be quite interested now.

But Zhao Zhen's ability to tell stories is so bad that he can't even mention the queen's gossip enthusiasm.

After Zhao Zhen said for a while, he felt a little bored, so he avoided Empress Cao's gaze, got up and said, "There are still some political affairs ahead, I'll go first." ”

Empress Cao Yingying stood up, her somewhat thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she said heroically: "The official family, there is a cousin in the concubine's family, and he has a seven-year-old child...... Shen An ......"

Zhao Zhen looked over slowly, his eyes slightly cold.

He slowly turned sideways, and then said, "If that young man doesn't make big mistakes in the future, he will have some future...... Word got out? ”

Empress Cao felt that the attitude of the official family was not quite right, but she did not hide it and said, "I haven't said it yet." ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at her, and there was more indifference in his eyes.

Empress Cao instantly regretted it.

She originally thought that the official family would not care about such things, but now it seems that the official family is still wary of the Cao family!

Zhao Zhen walked to the door, looked at the gray sky with his hands, and said, "Cao family...... Since you didn't say it...... Let's say, I want to see what the boy will choose. If it's wrong, it's wrong. ”

Empress Cao walked over slowly, bowed her head and said, "Official, concubine...... The Cao family had no dissenting intentions about this matter. ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "That young man has been suffering for a long time, and he is also struggling in Bianliang, and no one can help him." Find a powerful family to take refuge in, that will save a lot of trouble. If people are of the same mind, he will probably do the same. ”

Empress Cao heard something bad, if Shen An chose to agree, or had an ambiguous attitude, then his future would probably be over in the future.

Zhao Zhen's face was more indifferent, and he said: "I have my own measure in this matter. ”。

This is a warning, and he also uses the self-title of me, which shows that he has taken this matter as an official matter.

Empress Cao sent it out, and when she walked farther, she saw Zhao Zhen beckoning, and there was an attendant on the side.

Zhao Zhen said something, and the chamberlain hurriedly went outside the palace.

Empress Cao knew that it must be someone from the Imperial City Division, and she would probably go to investigate the matter immediately.

She was a little flustered, as the daughter of the Cao family, she knew her role when she entered the palace, so she didn't ask for merit, but she wanted no fault and didn't burden the family.

But now the matter of that cousin made Zhao Zhen vigilant and afraid.

But from this, it can also be seen that Zhao Zhen has expectations for the future of Shen An, a young man.

The more you look at it, the less betrayal can be tolerated.

She turned around and walked into her room, drove everyone away, and then lit a stick of incense and prayed silently, hoping that Shen An would refuse the matter.

Shen An hurried home, having been away from home for several days, he was worried that Guoguo would cry, and he was even more worried that Cao Yun's cousin would come to harass him.

Before entering Yulin Lane, Shen An, who was like an arrow, was stopped by a man.

The man carried an entourage with a reserved smile indicating that he was from a good background.

He bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "Cao Ding has seen Shen Zhizhao. ”

Shen An slowly dismounted, walked over with a faint smile on his face, and asked, "But is it Cao Yun's cousin?" ”

The man nodded and said with a smile: "A certain is the Cao family, I have heard the name of Shen Zhizhao for a long time, if you don't give up, please drink together and get acquainted." ”

At this moment, the Cao family is still considered the top nobles of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise there would not be a queen.

So when Cao Ding said this, he seemed a little self-conscious.

You are an orphan with no background, or even without the help of your father, and you are taken by my Cao family, so you have to quickly lower your posture and invite someone to drink at home?

After three rounds of drinking, when this matter is mentioned, do you dare to refuse?

He felt that this matter was nine out of ten, and then he turned sideways slightly, ready to let Shen An lead the way.

Then he saw the smirk, the angry grin.

"Nima!"

Bang!

Shen An threw his fist angrily, and Cao Ding happened to turn sideways, and was hit on the side of the bridge of his nose by this punch.

His body turned, and just across the street came a neighborhood, and he saw a column of blood spurting out of his crooked nose.
