prisoner in the door

Of course, the emperor could not use livestock utensils, so Mo Mingzheng was approached again. The eunuch who raised the Eighth Son first invited him to have a drink, and then in a drunken state, he praised the utensils in various ways, saying how good it was and how it worked. Why is it easy to use? Finally, I made a vague suggestion and wanted to use it alone.

Mo Mingzheng, who was already a little tipsy, was so frightened that he sobered up on the spot, and then shook his head repeatedly to express that this was not allowed. No matter what the eunuch said, Mo Mingzheng shook his head, and in the end he even ran away drunk.

After that, the eunuch invited Mo Mingzheng twice more. Mo Mingzheng went out the first time, but refused the second time, and began to avoid the eunuch openly or covertly.

At first, the eunuch didn't understand what was going on, and was scratching his head to get it done.

In the end, the emperor couldn't wait any longer, so he called the eunuch and asked him about it before he understood what was going on.

Not all eunuchs in the palace were purified, and some were born eunuchs. This in itself is not a secret.

After thinking about this, the emperor's anger dissipated a little. He felt that although Mo Mingzheng was not old, he was still considerate in his affairs.

But Mo Mingzheng's reaction also made him understand that that thing can indeed be used by others!

Therefore, when the eunuch came to see Mo Mingzheng again, there was an adult beside him.

The other party was seventy or eighty years old, and Mo Mingzheng didn't recognize him (although the two brothers had passed the exam, they were still idle at home, and the court had not sent officials yet). The other party introduced himself as a young servant in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. When he was older and ready to serve, he had some friendship with the eunuch.

I didn’t say it clearly, but everyone who understands understands.

What the boss means is that he is old and doesn't plan to hang out in the capital anymore. If you give him something, you don't have to worry about it flowing into the palace.

But Mo Mingzheng still refused.

He said do you think I'm a fool?Just because you are gone does not mean that you have lost contact with Jingli. This thing is not a big object, and it does not mean that if this person uses it, others will not be able to use it. There is still a possibility that it will flow into the palace!

Mo Mingzheng said no, no, no matter what he said.

In the end, the palace issued a secret decree, indicating that the emperor already knew about the matter and specially approved to give the old man that thing, and Mo Mingzheng agreed.

The emperor wanted it on the same day, but they couldn't give it on the same day.

Mo Mingzheng said that this thing would take half a month even if it was done quickly and slowly, so the boss was half a month late in taking office.

When the thing passed through Mo Mingzheng's hand and was given to the old man, the old man handed it over to the imperial doctor who had asked him to ask for it.

Three days after the things were handed over, Mo Mingzheng and Mo Mingfu were appointed.

This dynasty stipulates that those who are ranked first in the scientific examination can enter the Hanlin Academy for three years and study for three years, while other students with no background and below are usually transferred to other places.

However, the two brothers of the Mo family were specially criticized by the emperor for their insightful policy making, and they were granted first-class treatment and were directly assigned to the Hanlin Academy.

The two brothers entered the palace to express their gratitude, and the emperor personally examined the two brothers and discussed state affairs with them. At the end of the discussion, the emperor applauded the two brothers and praised them for their ability to govern the country.

After that, the emperor often summoned the two brothers to discuss matters. Although they did not have formal positions, anyone could see that the emperor valued the two brothers. Even when the court was discussing matters, the two brothers were not even held a crown ceremony when all the civil and military ministers were present. Brothers can also talk and speak in an orderly manner.

Regardless of their ages and voices, the two's thinking and handling methods are both vigorous and decisive, but also have the tact of veterans who have been immersed in the court for decades. When they first showed their talents, they were praised by many elders, and they affirmed that the two sons will have great success in the future. Great work.But now, he is still too young.

Some old ministers have their mind set on the marriage between the two. If they can have such a quick son-in-law, it will be a strong alliance. With such help from in-laws, their own heirs will also have help in the court.

These elders had good ideas, but Mo Mingzheng, for some unknown reason, actually identified the three women of the Minister of Household Affairs. No one else could say anything, so he decided to propose marriage.

Not only did he treat the Minister of Hubu with great courtesy when he met him in the palace, but he also often sent things to the Minister of Hubu's home.

Most of the things are not expensive things, such as eating something delicious.

A small number of them, such as some good ancient paintings, calligraphy and books, were usually given to the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.

Things that looked expensive at first glance, such as jewelry and ornaments, were all sent to the hands of the third lady in the backyard.

Of course, along with these were sent a variety of precious medicinal materials and prescriptions for nourishing the body (Chen Wanying will not accept them if they are not given to her). Even when taking a bath, Mo Mingzheng personally brought famous doctors to the door, hoping to help Diagnosis and treatment of the step-wife of the Minister of Household Affairs.

The gesture of asking for marriage was a little too attentive, but she was very sincere. The Minister of Household Affairs felt that it was a honor, and he felt that having such a son-in-law was indeed a help.

Therefore, regardless of Chen Wanying's wishes, the Minister of Household Affairs directly decided on the marriage.

Chen Wanying was unwilling and specifically talked to Mo Mingzheng in private. She made it clear that she did not want to marry Mo Mingzheng.

And Mo Mingzheng didn't say anything. He bluntly said that he didn't like her either. He felt that she was uneasy in the back house and lacked in character, so she was not a good candidate to be the mistress of the house (Chen Wanying said this, making her blush with embarrassment and anger) .

But the scene changed and he revealed the real reason why he married her.

"My eldest sister thinks you are suitable to marry and come home to help her take care of the common affairs. The eldest sister works hard for us brothers, and those common affairs are indeed a bit troublesome. If the eldest sister thinks you are suitable, then it is you."

These words are actually quite inhumane.

Chen Wanying didn't know what to say. If she had any daughter-in-law thoughts about Mo Mingzheng before, it could be said that not a little bit was left now.

Finally, Mo Mingzheng said.

"Since ancient times, marriage has been a matter of great importance. Parents have ordered the matchmaker to do so. It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not. And it is really ridiculous for you to meet your foreign man privately like this. I hope this is the last time."

After saying that, Mo Mingzheng flicked his sleeves and left.

Chen Wanying was so angry that she blushed and didn't know how to defend herself. She fell ill after returning home. When her mother came to see her, she hugged her mother and cried loudly. She repeated what Mo Mingzheng said, making it clear that this person was not A good man.

Her mother also didn't expect Mo Mingzheng to be like this, and she was dumbfounded at the moment.

But the Minister of Household Affairs had already agreed to the marriage, and the two families even exchanged invitations and called the matchmaker to start the six rites. At this time, it was too late to say no.

In this era, the daughter's family is not allowed to make the final decision on marriage. At the moment, the mother and daughter are worried about something.
