Chu Xian didn't really want to compete for Shangshu Ling, and it was also for this reason that the six Shangshu were really good to him, and the official level of others was higher than his own, even if he was queuing, he wouldn't be able to take his turn, not to mention, in addition to the Hubu Shangshu, the people who were closer to Shangshu Ling in the Shoufu Pavilion couldn't rank up for themselves, so Chu Xian really didn't plan to fight.

In this way, Chu Xian also replied like this, which made Hubu Shangshu obviously relieved. Perhaps because of his happiness, the Hubu Shangshu gave Chu Xian a big hint at that time, that is, if he could be appointed to the Shangshu Order, he would recommend Chu Xian to take over his class and be the Hubu Shangshu.

For Chu Xian, to be able to ascend to the head of the household book, that is also by leaps and bounds, normally speaking, this squire is not enough for thirty years, and it is almost difficult to go to the next level.

Just like Liu Jiwen, he has been a waiter for thirty years, isn't this still in this position, he can't move if he wants to, compared with this Liu Jiwen, the speed of Chu Xian's promotion is already comparable to that of a bird going to the sky.

So when Chu Xian heard this, he didn't have the heart to compete for Shang Shuling.

For him, it is safer to take one step at a time, and it is not beneficial to rise too fast.

Deal with the matter at hand, Chu Xian heard someone knocking on the door, Chu Xian said, and Qi Chengxiang pushed the door in.

Qi Chengxiang has been arranged by Chu Xian and Ji Wen to enter the Cave Candle Division for several years, and the position of soldier commander is also handy, and obviously, compared to the officialdom outside, Qi Chengxiang is more suitable for being in the Cave Candle Division. However, because of the relationship with Chu Xian, this soldier commander should already be his limit, once Ji Wen wanted to promote Qi Chengxiang to the deputy commander before leaving the Cave Candle Division, but Qi Chengxiang himself refused this matter.

In his words, if he became the deputy commander, it would not be good for Chu Xian, on the contrary, it would cause gossip and even be suspicious of the upper echelons.

Qi Chengxiang has his own plans for this matter, and Chu Xian also agrees and approves.

To say that there are so many people under his hands, Qi Chengxiang is the first and no one dares to say second.

Therefore, when Qi Chengxiang came at this time, there must be something very important.

"My lord, Lord Wang Shenling, the right attendant, sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, and that person said that he would also visit your lordship. Qi Chengxiang directly explained the reason at this time.

When Chu Xian heard this, he knew why Qi Chengxiang would talk about this specifically.

Wang Shenling, the right attendant, actually sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, which is really strange, a big surprise.

You must know that a few years ago, when Chu Xian and Li Ziyun got married, Yang Zhenqing symbolically sent congratulatory gifts, but at that time, Wang Shenling didn't pay attention to it at all.

But Chu Xian also understands this.

Because of Wang Yancicada.

Although Chu Xian is not to blame for some things, no matter what, Wang Yancian is still reluctant to marry, or even become a monk and cultivate, in the final analysis, it is because of himself.

Therefore, if he is Wang Shenling, it is difficult to swallow this breath, and it is estimated that he will be the same as Wang Shenling, and he will not take care of himself, a person who has harmed his granddaughter's lifelong happiness.

It is because Chu Xian understands this that Wang Shenling uncharacteristically sent someone to send a congratulatory gift today, which will surprise Chu Xian, and it is also because of this that Qi Chengxiang will come to report it and listen to his own meaning.

To see, or not to see.

"My lord, if I don't see him, I'll just talk to that person, don't worry, my subordinates know what to say. Qi Chengxiang didn't speak when he saw Chu Xian, and thought that Chu Xian was hesitating and making trouble, so he spoke.

Chu Xian shook his head: "See, let that person in." ”

When Qi Chengxiang heard this, he didn't ask more, his biggest characteristic is this, he shouldn't ask, he will definitely not ask more.

So after a while, Qi Chengxiang led a person in.

Chu Xian glanced at it and recognized this person.

This person is the old housekeeper of Wang Shenling's family, although he does not have an official position, he is definitely a henchman of Wang Shenling's henchmen, and it is believed that he has been serving the Wang family for hundreds of years.

For a mortal body, a grandmaster-level martial artist who is close to the realm of martial saints, this is not a young age, so it seems that this old housekeeper is very old, but his eyes are godly, his spirit is not bad, he should also be a capable person, otherwise he will not be valued by Wang Shenling for so many years.

"The old man has seen Lord Chu. "The old man is very polite, and he does not rely on the old man to sell the old, but respectfully salutes, Chu Xian and this old housekeeper also have a few faces, after all, when I went to Wang's house as a guest, or when I saw Wang Yanchan, I saw this old housekeeper, at that time, the other party did not have any contempt because of Chu Xian's low official rank, so Chu Xian had a good impression of him.

Let the old housekeeper sit down, the latter did not waste time, and said directly: "Lord Chu, my lord heard that Lord Chu wants to take a concubine, so he specially sent the old man to congratulate the adult, and presented some congratulatory gifts, although it is not very valuable, but please Lord Chu smile." ”

Wang Shenling sent a congratulatory gift?

Chu Xian knew that there must be something greasy in this matter, and Chu Xian still knew a little about Wang Shenling, after all, he and Yang Zhenqing were looking for their own troubles back then.

Unlike Yang Zhenqing, Wang Shenling's pattern is still a little small, Yang Zhenqing can pull down his face to ease the relationship with himself, but Wang Shenling does not, which explains the problem.

And this very unexpected initiative to ease relations must have a plan.

Chu Xian understood after a little thought.

Obviously, the tone he released before has been very clear, and he has no intention of wading into troubled waters to compete for the position of Shang Shuling, after all, for himself, as long as there is a certain Shangshu on the top, then he may go to the top and take over the position of the six Shangshu, which is smoother and more reasonable for himself, so why be thankless, but compete with those big people for the official position of Shang Shuling?

So after the news spread, Wang Shenling must have known about it, and since this is the case, it is reasonable for the other party to send someone to ease the relationship.

Obviously, Wang Shenling, the right servant, also intends to compete for the position of Shang Shuling.

Calculate the qualifications, count the official products, to be honest, Wang Shenling may be the closest to Shang Shuling, even higher than the six Shangshu, and it is also because the level and authority of Shang Shuling are obviously one level higher than that of the right servant, so Wang Shenling wants the water to flow to a higher place this time.

However, even if Wang Shenling wants to take the position, he will have to face many competitors, so he naturally tries to attract helpers to support him as much as possible.

Now Chu Xian's status and influence in the Shoufu Pavilion are already quite huge, and some people even say that Chu Xian's influence in the Shoufu Pavilion even exceeds the six Shangshu.

This is not a joke, nor an exaggeration, but a fact. Chu Xian's most powerful point is that he can be 'recognized' by all forces, Xiao Yu's side, naturally needless to say, Chu Xian was Xiao Yu's family back then, and he is still now, but on the contrary, whether it is Da Situ or Da Sima, they all 'value' Chu Xian very much, these three big guys are actually sometimes not able to urethra in a pot, but they can treat Chu Xian surprisingly consistently, that is, they are very important.

In addition, in the military, Chu Xian is also deeply loved, needless to say the relationship with Zhao Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, General Jin Jia and General Yu, these two holy military gods, also basically love Chu Xian.

What can be valued and liked by these three bigwigs, in terms of the entire Shoufu Pavilion and the entire Holy Dynasty, how many can you pick out?

Almost nothing, Chu Xian is definitely a lone seedling.

It is also because Chu Xian's qualifications are still shallow, and he has just entered the Shoufu Pavilion for less than five years, it is almost impossible to be promoted to a high-ranking official of Shang Shuling's level, if not, I am afraid that if Chu Xian participates in the competition, he will immediately become the most headache and fear of all competitors.

So, fortunately, fortunately.

Now that he guessed what Wang Shenling meant by sending someone over, Chu Xian also knew how to deal with it.

Although he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, Chu Xian really couldn't help Wang Shenling, it wasn't that Chu Xian was stingy, he still remembered the things that Wang Shenling did against him back then, just because if Chu Xian helped Wang Shenling, it would be a little 'unfair' to other people who want to be on the throne.

Therefore, the congratulatory gift sent by Wang Shenling is to be accepted, firstly, this is a congratulatory gift from others, and it is inappropriate not to accept it, and secondly, if it is accepted, it can be regarded as resolving the grievances over the past few years. But Chu Xian ordered someone to prepare a rather heavy 'return gift', which also told Wang Shenling from the side that grievances can be resolved, and it is difficult to say help.

That's all Chu Xian can do.

The old butler couldn't see what this meant, he sighed at this time, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, first thanked, and then said goodbye and left.

Afterwards, among the congratulatory gifts sent by the old housekeeper, there were three things that were very 'special', that is, three pieces of clothing, which could be seen to be hand-sewn, one for men and two for women. said that this is special because even if the embroidery lady in the house saw it, she was full of praise, and said that the person who made these three clothes must have injected effort into sewing, in addition, Chu Xian also saw a letter in the congratulatory gift.

There was no signature on the letter, but only a few lines of handwriting.

"Colorful silk ready-to-wear and new makeup, pearl and jade double beauty seal cave room, wish to ask the Bodhisattva for three thousand knocks, turn into a blessing and wish to accompany you!"

After reading this, let alone Chu Xian, even Li Ziyun knew who made these three new clothes.

Li Ziyun sighed, thought for a while, and said: "What Wang Shenling asks for may not be for his husband to support him, maybe, he just wants to tell others that he and you have reconciled regardless of their past suspicions, this is for others to see, for Da Situ, for Da Sima, for the two generals, and even more for Xiao Yu." ”
