"Yes, yes, but not too much," Shi Ding explained with a smile, "The practice of this dynasty is that most of them are dismissed, and those who are demoted and degraded to serve as officials in other places are almost non-existent, and there are often examples of prime ministers going to local officials in the former Song Dynasty, but these people in this dynasty, if they are used to being high-ranking officials, how can they be willing to bow low and be small when they go to the locality, so there is no, according to the convention, the saint will keep Dongfang Nalan." ”

"What if you don't keep it?" Xue Pan asked, "I'm afraid I'm just resigning like this, right?" ”

Shi Ding smiled, "Then I don't think about it, the saint is the most magnanimous, but ordinary courtiers have always been gentle and relieved, at least after repeated approval." ”

This is a complete waste of paper and ink, Xue Pan secretly complained, but this is also a very common behavior in officialdom, will the emperor show that he is very disgusted with you and wishes you left quickly? Such a ruler is somewhat unforgiving.

"This thing is a little interesting," although Zhan Guang and these Qingke have done a lot of elegant things with Jia Zheng's wind and snow, but this is also their errand to be sent to us, and the rules in the officialdom are naturally very clear, Zhan Guang said with great interest, "Long live the lord is staying, which means that this Oriental imperial history, at least the saint is no longer there," he was also happily ready to say something, but seeing Jia Zheng's uncertain face, he was obviously not very happy about these things, so he quickly restrained his smug look and made a sad expression, "Now that the government is unstable, it is really not for us to repay the blessing of the king!"

As soon as these words turned, the expression on Jia Zheng's face became better, he didn't like his family to discuss the government at this critical time, "Since this matter has nothing to do with Pan'er, naturally there is no need to mention it, just let them make trouble." ”

Shi Ding wanted to speak and stopped, and at this time, someone happened to come behind to say: "The eldest girl has already packed her things." ”

"That's it, I originally just came to pick up my nephew's daughter, but I didn't expect to be here in Brother Cun Zhou and talk for a while, and I met Wen Longxian's nephew again, this trip, it is really worthwhile," Shi Ding stood up, Jia Zheng didn't want to talk about this, he didn't want to talk about it anymore, theoretically speaking, Jia Zheng is just a member of the Ministry of Labor, and he is a super marquis, the marquis should be more noble, but in the end, it is a relative, and this is Jia Zheng's territory, Jia Zheng's daughter is now crowned a virtuous concubine, this status is much higher than himself, Shi Ding didn't want to disobey Jia Zheng's intentions, since he didn't talk about it, there was nothing to stay, "Brother Cun Zhou, please tell the old lady, just say that my house is gone." ”

"Why don't you stay for dinner? The old lady must be invited. ”

"I picked up my niece and daughter here, and I have to go out to do some things, so I can't be free," Shi Ding said with a smile, "You are also busy in the next year, why should I make trouble here, and after the Shangyuan Festival, you are so free here, I will come over to ask the ancestors for peace." ”

Jia's mother is the aunt of Shi Ding's three brothers, Jia Zheng and this Shi Ding are cousins, if it is about the ordinary family, Jia Zheng should call Shi Ding his cousin, but Shi Ding doesn't know why, although he is majestic, but his temper is not bad, he shouted at Jia Zheng and Brother Zhou, Shi Ding got up, Jia Zheng was busy to send, Shi Ding took Xue Pan's hand, "Brother Cun Zhou stays, don't send it, please go and tell the old lady, just say that the nephew will come to ask for peace in the future, I will let this Wenlong Xian nephew send it, how about it?" ”

At this time, many people saw the clue, the Qingke got up, hung their hands and respectfully watched Xue Pan and Shi Ding walk out together, Zhan Guang said to Jia Zheng, "This second marquis, come today, is it possible that you are here for Uncle Xue?" ”

"Brother Zhan, what do you mean by this?"

"Dong Weng, the student thinks that this second marquis is Xiang Zhuang sword dancing with the intention of Pei Gong, this time I am afraid that I am just here to see how Uncle Xue is," Zhan Guang said with a smile, "Uncle Xue has only returned to Beijing on the first day, and there has been such a big turmoil, several such powerful yamen and so many powerful people have made trouble for Uncle Xue, we are seeing each other every day, and the second marquis is also very curious, so I want to come and take a look." ”

Jia Zheng was silent, this Xue Pan Committee is really a little fussy, just entered Beijing to make such a fuss, yesterday Mrs. Wang also said to herself, because Xue Pan just entered Beijing to make such a big turmoil, so the original arrangement to invite Xue Pan to the banquet was canceled, Jia Zheng was a little disapproving, no matter how this matter is troubled, it has nothing to do with the feelings of relatives, Xue Pan returned from afar, is to catch the wind and wash the dust, this is the etiquette between relatives. If you offend people outside like this, so the family has some doubts and does not invite guests, which is really a bit petty.

Jia Zheng originally thought so, but today when he saw Shi Dinglai acting like this, he felt that Mrs. Wang's idea was not too wrong, he had always been cautious, even if Yuan Chun was now a virtuous concubine, the first concubine in the palace after the queen, but he was even more careful, not to easily offend the people in the government and the opposition, Zhan Guang had been serving Jia Zheng in Rongguo Mansion for a long time, Jia Zheng's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he knew what Jia Zheng was thinking in his heart, Zhan Guang couldn't help but want to laugh, his own Dong Weng, his courage was really small, Zhan Guang knew Jia Zheng's thoughts, but he couldn't say anything directly, so he had to say with relief, "But Uncle Xue is still in charge of Lord Shangshu, a serious uncle, thinking about anyone, it's not easy to say anything, Uncle Xue himself has a strategy, not a master like the Jiangdong overlord who can only use brute force." Dong Weng, please rest assured, as Uncle Xue said, now each yamen has their own ideas, and they all want to get a piece of the pie in this matter, but I am afraid that no one will care about such a small character as Uncle Xue. ”

Xue Pan sent Shi Ding all the way to the main gate of Rongguo Mansion, on the way Shi Ding still had a pair to talk to Xue Pan, with a good attitude, Xue Pan cautiously replied to Shi Ding's words, and he would be a little puzzled for a while, this Shi Ding came, what did he want to do, and after a while, when he arrived at the door, the servants lowered their hands and bowed their heads, and the groom led a very magical snowflake gray horse, which also had a saddle carved from ivory and pearl jade, which was very luxurious, Shi Ding took Xue Pan's hand and said with a smile, " The virtuous nephew has done a lot of business in Xian'an Palace, and now everyone knows that this Xue Pan and Xue Wenlong are the only ones who are pressing Xian'an Palace! ”
