Chapter 635
When the Zou family came out of the capital, there were still a lot of things to do, such as shopping, and the study of their two sons, which was enough for them to be busy for a while.

With Fu Sijin's reminder, Zou Guangquan didn't look for his classmates, not even his father-in-law's disciples, and only waited to talk about it after he took office.

Don't socialize if it's not necessary, this is what Zou Guangquan told himself.

The capital is a mixed bag of good and bad people, and people's hearts are sinister, so he just needs to do his own thing well.

The news of Zou's family coming to the capital could be concealed from the beginning, but after Zou Guangquan took office, people came to visit one after another.

The one who bears the brunt is Mr. Pei Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He is also a lady diplomat. He gave some jewelry and headgear. It is nothing more than trying to please the wife of the boss first, and then let the wife of the boss blow the pillow wind to make him, a subordinate, feel better. Some.

In fact, Mrs. Pei didn't think much of Zou Guangquan and Jiang Shuangyue.

I feel that they came from a small place and haven't seen much of the world. As for things, they don't need to give them too well. After all, giving them away casually has already opened their eyes.

Anyway, how could one really have money to buy such a partial, such a small house?
However, there are very few people in the know, and everyone is still guessing, why a small county magistrate of the seventh rank suddenly jumped into the dragon's gate and became the minister of the third rank.

It's not just smoke from the ancestral grave, it's clearly the ancestral tomb that has been on fire for days and nights!
Especially the position of Shangshu, Pei Qing has been thinking about it for a long time. The Ministry of Industry does not care about people, and is in charge of building facilities and the like, but this is also a fat job.

Whoever is used and who is not, and how much money is used can be made into a fuss.

However, Pei Qing finally waited until Lao Shangshu retired and returned to his hometown, thinking that he could be promoted, but in the end, one came in by air, and he had a lower position than himself before.

He had never even heard of Qinghe County.

When Mrs. Pei visited, Fu Jiujiu was playing with his two elder brothers in the backyard. They were going to Qingshan Academy to study tomorrow.

Fu Jiujiu remembered that his fifth brother-in-law seemed to be the head of the academy, but the two elder brothers were excellent, especially the elder brother, who shouldn't need special care, so he didn't mention it.

Anyway, everyone is in the same circle, and there is always a chance to sit down and get to know each other.

Zou Guangquan has already taken office, and just took over the Ministry of Handicrafts. This mess of bad debts is a headache to death, especially since Emperor Chengde plans to build water conservancy, and the construction will start soon, which makes him at a loss, and he goes home late every day.

Jiang Shuangyue knew why the female relatives of her direct subordinates were here, but she couldn't offend them for no reason, so she asked her servants to invite them in.

Mrs. Pei's grandfather had also been a third-rank official, but he would not be as good as the next generation, but even so, she still felt that Jiang Shuangyue was an ignorant woman from a small place.

Even, on the way here, she fantasized that Jiang Shuangyue might be a fat woman, dressed in red and green, with a bunch of tacky red hairpins on her hair.

However, when she saw the cool and elegant Jiang Shuangyue, her jaw almost dropped.

Jiang Shuangyue is not considered a great beauty, but she has a unique temperament of aloofness and tranquility, and she has read a lot of poetry and books, and her speech and behavior are unusual.

"Mrs. Pei?" Jiang Shuangyue softly called out to the distracted woman.

Mrs. Pei came back to her senses, and looking into Jiang Shuangyue's quiet eyes, she had to say that she was a little ashamed of herself, she was like a bright moon, and she was at most a star, eclipsed in front of her.

Mrs. Pei said a lot of good things. Before, she thought it would be disgusting to say it against her will, but she didn't expect that after seeing the real person, she said it very smoothly.

Jiang Shuangyue just listened, and she didn't lose her mind. The person she met just now, with all her heart and soul, could it be true?

She just listens.

"Ma'am, it's no wonder your Master Zou has been able to advance so many levels in a row. You look like a prosperous husband, a virtuous man who cares for your husband and teaches your children."

"Everywhere, the emperor's grace is so great. It's the emperor who promoted my husband." "Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Pei had a big change in Jiang Shuangyue. This woman was not a good person. She was very thoughtful and spoke impeccably.

"Ma'am, I heard that there are two young masters in your family, both of whom have reached the age of school, right? Have all the affairs of the academy been settled?"

"Well, I found it, Qingshan Academy."

"That's really good. Our son is also studying there, so we can take care of him in the future."

"Let me tell you, there is a young gentleman in Qingshan Academy, surnamed Hong, named Tianyao, from the capital, his family has a scholarly family for generations, and he has been in the Imperial Academy. He is also teaching now, and we can talk to the Hong family. Waiting for another day to be the host, I invited Mrs. Hong to come and find a good husband for the two young masters."

Jiang Shuangyue felt that there was no free lunch. Qingshan Academy was already the best academy in the capital. After entering, it was up to them whether their sons could grow up.

The master leads the door, and the practice is personal.

"Mrs. Pei, you're being polite. The dog is new here. It's far behind the children in the capital. Let them get acquainted first." Jiang Shuangyue declined with a smile.

Mrs. Pei raised her eyebrows, thinking that it was just right, the Hong family was even more difficult to talk about, and she was really not sure how to make this matter happen.

"Then listen to you, let the two young masters get acquainted with each other first, and I will try to deal with that when I want to find Mr. Hong in the future."

"Thank you Mrs. Pei."

"Mrs. Zou, you are so polite. Now that your Lord Shangshu and my master are working together, it is not pleasant to say that they are grasshoppers on the same rope. Our hearts are in the same place. We will be a family from now on." people."

"The two of you don't have any relatives in the capital, so let me know if you have anything to do. My natal family is also in the capital, so I know quite a few people." Mrs. Zou said with a smile.

"I'm afraid Madam doesn't know many things. You can come and ask me. I'll tell you everything." Mrs. Pei smiled and patted Jiang Shuangyue's hand, as if everyone knew it well.

Jiang Shuangyue pursed her lips, but neither answered nor refused.

"Mrs. Zou, look, I don't have anything to give when we meet for the first time. I don't know what you like, so I ordered some jewelry for you. You can see if you like it!"

Mrs. Pei saw that Jiang Shuangyue didn't talk much, so she took out a gift, thinking that this time her eyes should be opened.

"Mrs. Pei, you are too polite. I absolutely cannot accept such an expensive gift." Jiang Shuangyue stopped her from opening the box.

She doesn't need to look at it, no matter whether it is expensive or cheap, gifts are absolutely unacceptable.

"Ma'am, you are welcome, a small meeting ceremony is not a respect."

Jiang Shuangyue shook her head, "I really can't accept this."

While the two refused, Zou Yuansong walked in with Fu Jiujiu.

Mrs. Pei had met Fu Jiujiu before, and when she saw this scene, she was a little confused.

How are they together?

Two updates, happy holidays, and the day after tomorrow, I will also take a break.
