C3477 Forced marriage! (1/2)
Fifth Master Yi Cong never thought that today would actually be his lucky day. Even if Duke Qing Palace won a lot of gold, it wouldn't be the end, they would still be officials later on.
The vice minister of the Head Office, was already a high official on the same level as Fu Qing.
understood that the one who had made the decision when he turned around was someone else. No one in the Head Office could avoid the Spirit Demons, and the one who was controlling the situation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was still the empress dowagers.
Power was useless, but reputation was the truth. Besides, everything had to be developed first before it could seep in. As long as it became famous, there would be a chance for it to work. He was afraid that there wouldn't even be a single opening.
Yi Cong immediately set out to meet up with Weng Tonghe and the others, using his dual identity as the Head Officer and Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he led the group to the city from Da Gu Kou on a ship.
The Fifth Master didn't think much of the twists and turns inside, and directly cupped his hands and said, ”Aiyo …” Since I've changed my job, shouldn't you at least give me a new set of floral plumes? ”
”My pearl is old enough. I will reward you with a few more Semen Orientale and hang a few more coral … Forget it, sister-in-law, why don't you send me to the royal court to pick a few strings? ”
Yi Cong's words were reasonable, no matter what identityhe had, she had to dress up, and logically speaking, he would have to spend money to purchase the court uniform, the court pearl and the other items, but he was busy with them, and could not make them in time.
Furthermore, Semen Orientale s were controlled by regulations throughout the Qing Dynasty, so when it reached a certain level, Semen Orientale s were not allowed to trade. When Yi Cong got promoted, the Semen Orientale would be rewarded by the imperial government.
With so many things on their minds today, the two empress dowager wouldn't make things difficult for her brother-in-law just for a few things. Ci Xi generously said, ”Go … ”Uncle will choose what he likes and take what he wants. As long as he doesn't waste time …”
”Come on! ”Sister-in-law, you two continue chatting, I'll go to the royal treasury right now …”
With one less person missing in the room, Ceng Guofan drank a mouthful of tea and suppressed the chaos in his heart, struggling to continue the discussion.
”The second thing that this humble subject has mentioned is the great marriage of His Majesty … May I ask the empress dowager and prince if His Majesty should get married? Whose daughter was he looking for? When will we get married? ”
The moment he said that, everyone's expression changed. In the room, only Ceng Guofan was a Chinese person, the rest were all Manchu, and the emperor was the emperor of the Xiluo's family.
empress dowagers did not say anything, so Yi Xuan opened his mouth first. ”Haha … Why did the marshal say that? Let's first discuss the matter of welcome, how did it end up with His Majesty's wedding? ”
”Today, I was already sensitive enough to feel that something was wrong with Ceng Guofan, so I wouldn't stand on ceremony …” This matter doesn't seem to be your responsibility, right? ”
Ceng Guofan was not annoyed, he laughed and said, ”According to the rules, as a Chinese Officer, I cannot interfere, but since the situation is urgent, even if I have violated the rules, I have to say …”
”At worst, I won't even care if you're my official …” ”Hahaha!”
”You!” Yi Yeyu was so angry that he couldn't reply.
At this time, Ci Xi's eyes lit up. She was a smart person and had already guessed what Ceng Guofan was trying to say.
”Ceng Shuai, you've troubled too much …” As the Mother, of course, I wish the sooner the better. I, on the other hand, chose one ahead of time, and the head of the Ministry of Justice, Feng Xiu, has a daughter, Fuche.
Before he finished speaking, Ci An also understood and interrupted, ”I also have a candidate. Chong Qi's daughter, A Luteshi is even more virtuous and is a good candidate to be a queen …”
”Hahaha …” ”No matter who this humble subject chooses, this humble subject does not care. As long as Your Majesty can delay the marriage as soon as possible, I will be satisfied …” Ceng Guofan smiled.
Yi Xuan was surprised, ”How can you be so fast? The His Majesty's wedding was a huge matter! All sorts of imperial goods had to be prepared in advance, so how much porcelain did Jingdezhen burn? Jiangnan Weaving has no foundation at all... We even have to prepare a new dragon robe in advance … ”
