    When they got home in the evening, Fang Jinshi and Xue Ling struggled all night. Anyway, they had nothing to do the next day, and they didn't get up until three shots in the morning.

    Someone knocked lightly on the door a few times, and Fang Jinshi frowned and shouted, "Who is it?" There was no movement outside, and Fang Jinshi ignored it and continued to flirt with Xue Ling. After a while, someone knocked again outside.  glottis.

    Fang Jinshi suddenly became angry. He put on his pants and went to the door without his upper body. He opened the door and saw Qiao Ling'er at the door raising her hand to knock on the door again. When she saw Fang Jinshi's clothes were so disheveled, she couldn't help but blush.  , took a few steps back.

    Fang Jinshi asked: "What's the matter?"

    Qiao Ling'er pointed to the front yard and said, "Someone is looking for you in front, saying that he was sent by Mr. Yuwen."

    Fang Jinshi then realized that the sun was already so high. He said to Qiao Ling'er, "I understand, come right over."

    Qiao Ling'er hurriedly ran away, and then Fang Jinshi remembered that there were no servants or maids in the house, only the old man who was the doorkeeper. The old man's duty was to never come here. If he wanted to pass the news  It's really inconvenient to call someone.

    Since Yu Wenxuzhong invited him over, there must be news from the officials. Fang Jinshi didn't expect it to be so soon. When he got back, he immediately got dressed, freshened up casually, and hurried to the reception area in front, followed by two  The people who conveyed the order went together, but this time Yu Wenxuzhong received him in his own mansion.

    Someone passed the message in and led Fang Jinshi to see Yu Wenxuzhong. After Fang Jinshi bowed to him and offered tea, Yu Wenxuzhong said straight to the point: "Yesterday, I was summoned by the official to check the vacancies in each department of the three departments. The official planned to give up the vacancies."  I wonder if you are satisfied with your appointment as the head of the grain promotion case of the Third Sidu Envoy?"

    Fang Jinshi was a little unfamiliar with this Duzhi envoy who was in charge of the grain promotion case, but he had the impression that this mission was the authority responsible for the review and approval of national grain distribution. Generally, it can only be held by officials of the fifth rank and above. With the mission, as long as he does not make mistakes  , after some time, the grade will inevitably be raised. Even if it is given to a junior official, he dare not say that he is not satisfied.

    Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "I'm satisfied. The officials will reward you generously. You should work hard and don't dare to neglect."

    Yu Wenxuzhong nodded and said: "It stands to reason that you have great merit. Although this official position is important, it is really not high. However, your position is low. If you raise it too quickly, I am afraid there will be criticism from the admonishers."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I understand."

    Yu Wenxuzhong said: "This position is important. The officials are afraid that you will have difficulty handling it at first. They will allow you to take office in eight months. On the one hand, they need to find someone from Sihai Company who is capable of succeeding you. On the other hand, you can also go to the Yamen first.  Learn something here.¡±

    Fang Jinshi felt a little reluctant when he heard Yu Wenxuzhong said that he should hand over the Sihai Trading Company, but this was the official's opinion. Although he was heartbroken, he couldn't help it. This was what he feared the most, but he didn't expect it to happen anyway.

    Fang Jinshi had no choice but to say: "I will obey the order."

    Yu Wenxuzhong said: "There is something I need to explain to you first. Now the deputy envoy of the Third Division is Xiong Che, who was the former magistrate of Pingjiang Prefecture. You must first think about how to work with him."

    These words made Fang Jinshi even more depressed. He finally got promoted to an official position, but he didn't expect that his rival Xiong Che would directly become his immediate boss. It would be really difficult to get this official position. Fang Jinshi didn't give up and asked one more question: "Xiong Che"  Why did the prefect become the deputy envoy of Duzhi again?"

    Yu Wenxu said: "Not only him, but those in the old princeling party were not punished, and some were promoted. Although the old prince has moved out of the East Palace, he is still the king and has the power to govern Kaifeng Prefecture."

    Fang Jinshi was shocked. He came back to Bianliang in a state of confusion. He didn't even know the news. Even if he didn't understand the affairs of the court, he had lived in Kaifeng for so long. Since the Five Dynasties, he had been named a prince and was in charge of the Kaifeng government office.  The matter is the potential next heir to the throne. This is a "hidden rule" known to the world, including the common people. Zhao Kai and Zhao Huan won the battle for the throne. Not only did they not kill or demote him like other cases, but he actually  To do so, all the old princelings were promoted or retained their official positions, and the old prince was put in charge of Kaifeng government affairs. Although this power may be a false position, and the prince would not go to Kaifeng government every day to handle affairs, but this  It was to tell the people of the world that it was still possible for the prince to succeed to the throne.

    Fang Jinshi really couldn't understand what Zhao Kai had done. Yu Wenxu noticed his doubts and said, "Although King Yun has succeeded to the throne, the old prince is still powerful and has many influence both inside and outside."  It is unstable, and it is always necessary to appease the old party, and the officials are afraid that others will say that he is Tang Shaoling, so it cannot be said or said."

    Fang Jinshi thought for a moment and realized that the Tang Shaoling he was talking about was referring to Li Shimin. Zhao Kai was afraid that others would say that he took the throne and killed his brothers, so he treated the old prince who lost his throne favorably. Fang Jinshi heard Yu Wenxuzhong say that he couldn't tell, so he  Understand, even if Zhao Kai became an official, he didn¡¯t just listen to everything.?Wenxu might have changed his mind as soon as a bunch of other people said it to him.

    Fang Jinshi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I understand."

    Yu Wenxu said in the middle: "The official has issued an edict and it has been passed to the Yintai Department. In three to five days, the edict will be passed to you."

    Fang Jinshi thanked him again. The appointment of officials to the Yintai Department of the province was just a formality. Since he had already arrived at the Yintai Department, he was probably bound to become an official.

    Fang Jinshi returned to his home in a bad mood. As soon as he entered the door, the old man guarding the door said to him, "Uncle Shi is here."

    Fang Jinshi was overjoyed and quickly walked to the guest room. Shi Quan and Feng Wan were sitting in the room waiting. Fang Jinshi jumped into the threshold and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, when did you come back?"

    Shi Quan said: "I just returned to Bianliang." Feng Wan said at the side: "We just returned to the store, and I heard from the guys that you were back. Your eldest brother didn't let me go back, so I came here."

    Shi Quan scolded: "You are the only one who talks too much."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Brother, I miss you. Of course you will come over immediately when you hear that I am back."

    Shi Quandao: "No, you are not in Bianliang. Sometimes when you drink, you feel like you are missing one person."

    Feng Wan said: "Brothers, please stay in Bianliang for a longer time this time. You brothers can have a good time together."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I'm afraid I really have to stay here this time. The imperial court wants to promote me to be the officer in charge of the grain promotion case."

    Shi Quan said with great joy: "Is this a promotion?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "The official position was not promoted, but was given an important dispatch position."

    Shi Quandao: "That's great, we must celebrate it properly."

    Fang Jinshi didn't want to tell him those troublesome things, so he said, "Anywhere is fine, as long as the eldest brother is happy."

    Shi Quandao: "This is your big happy event. It's only natural that my brother will be happy for you. What do you think of the Huibin Building?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Brother makes the decision, I can do it anywhere."

    Shi Quandao: "Then it's settled."

    It was then that Fang Jinshi realized that Shi Quan and his wife were not entertained at home, and there was not even tea on the table. He wondered where Xue Ling had gone?  Why should I introduce her to Shi Quan? Thinking of this, Fang Jinshi said: "Brother, please sit down first. I'll come back as soon as I go."

    He walked out of the living room and went to the house where Xue Ling lived at the back. It turned out that she was sitting in the house. Fang Jinshi walked in and said, "My eldest brother and sister-in-law are here, why don't you go out to entertain her."

    Xue Ling said: "I don't know your elder brother and sister-in-law. Besides, no one told me that they were coming."

    Fang Jinshi was originally in a bad mood today, but after hearing what she said, he became a little annoyed and said, "I asked you to live in the main room in the front, but you refused. You don't know if there is a guest, so what's the use of you."

    He had never said harsh words to Xue Ling. Xue Ling was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to contradict him. She just flattened her mouth and said to Fang Jinshi, "Why don't you go quickly?"

    Xue Ling quickly stood up and followed him. The two of them walked to the corridor, and Qiao Ling'er happened to pass by from behind. Fang Jinshi called her over and said, "My eldest brother is here, and you don't know? He doesn't even have a cup of tea."

    Qiao Ling'er also didn't dare to speak, and ran to find tea obediently. Fang Jinshi led Xue Ling to the front,

    When he met Shi Quan, Feng Wan said: "Her name is Xue Ling, she is new to follow me."

    Xue Ling quickly bowed her blessing to the two of them. Feng Wan hurriedly helped her up. Shi Quan frowned and whispered: "Another one?"

    Feng Wan secretly tugged on his clothes and said to Xue Ling: "I must say, my brother is really discerning. He only looks for such good-looking ones."

    Xue Ling smiled awkwardly, and Shi Quan said: "Then let's go first. Let's bring her with us to the Huibin Building tonight."

    Fang Jinshi sent Shi Quan and two others out. Xue Ling saw them walking away, and the other party Jinshi said, "Did I say something wrong again?"

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "No, brother was just talking casually."

    Xue Ling said: "Then I won't go there tonight. You guys are all drinking at a man's house. You won't be able to enjoy yourself even if I go there. How bad it is."

    Fang Jinshi thought for a moment, and it was okay if she didn't go. He asked Qiao Ling'er to drive him to the Huibin Building in a carriage. Shi Quan invited the Feng brothers and other brothers in Bianliang City to come and have a good drink.  After the game, Shi Quan and Feng Wan sent him back. Shi Quan used the power of wine to say to him: "Brother, let me use the wine to say one more thing to you. Women, enough is enough. Since you married someone, you have to say something to them."  Single-mindedly, how can you be worthy of others if you are like this today and tomorrow? As a brother, you should not care about your family.??, but the elder brother just can't stand it. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't say it, but you are my brother, so I just say what I want to say. Brother, don't blame the eldest brother for talking too much.  "

    Feng Wan poked his forehead with her finger and said: "You also know that it is my brother's family matter, so you, the eldest brother, should talk nonsense." She turned to Fang Jinshi and said: "Brother, don't listen to your eldest brother's drunken nonsense, you don't  Other brothers and sisters, the Fang family is all supported by you. How can we make things happen without asking for more houses and more sons and daughters? You didn't rob or cheat me, my sister-in-law supports you."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Actually, the eldest brother is right. The eldest brother and I promise that we will never mess with women again, and we will treat them well in the future."

    Shi Quandao: "This is my good brother. Don't take it to heart if my eldest brother speaks unpleasantly."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Only a true elder brother would care about me like this. How could I blame you? It's not too late to be happy."

    Shi Quan chatted and laughed with him and sent him back. Fang Jinshi returned home and walked towards the place where Xue Ling lived in a drunken state. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Qiao Ling'er standing in the moonlight. She saw Fang Jinshi coming up to him.  Fang Jinshi asked: "Why are you not sleeping so late? What are you doing here?"

    Qiao Ling'er whispered: "It's nothing. She is a little unhappy today. You go over and comfort her."

    Fang Jinshi said: "You are waiting for me here just to tell me this?"

    Qiao Ling'er lowered her head and said nothing. Fang Jinshi said, "Okay, I understand. It's very late. You should go back to sleep."

    Qiao Ling'er stuffed something into his hand and said, "If you give this to her, just say it's specially bought for her. She will be happy." She hid her face as she spoke.

    Fang Jinshi looked down and saw that it was the pear-shaped golden hairpin.
